Special Full Moon in Cancer on Christmas Day Message

Although I did say recently that I wouldn’t be writing so many blogs from a purely astrological perspective (when have I ever?), tomorrow’s Full Moon and the energies surrounding it are worth a few words at least.

I have mixed feelings about tomorrow’s Christmas, and here’s why. Personally, it touches me where I live in my own chart in significant ways. It also will be making an impact in the charts of loved ones, friends and clients I have. Because Cancer is THE archetype that deals with emotions, feelings, love and nurturing, there’s really no hiding from the vibrations of the Moon in Cancer – which is raw emotion and the need for security all rolled into one teary-eyed little ball. So, I started to look at the chart for tomorrow…and began to see a pattern. If you have your chart, look for anything in the Cardinal signs (Aries, Libra, Cancer or Capricorn) between 1 and 6 degrees of sensitivity.

You see, I’m really into how things form patterns, and I’ve always been really good with details and also with seeing the big picture those details form. When the big pictures arrange themselves to reveal a pattern, it is telling me there’s a message from Consciousness that is worth paying attention to. I may not quite grasp what the message is at first, but eventually it does reveal itself in some outward event or inward revelation.

This is the first Full Moon on Christmas Day since 1977, and so I began my pattern investigation there. Sun was at 3 degrees and 37 minutes of Capricorn, and the Moon at the same in Cancer. Tomorrow’s Full Moon is at 3 degrees and 19 minutes of Cancer, and the Sun at the same degree in Capricorn. As an added kick, tomorrow’s Lunation is at 11:11am. Take that for what you will…but it is a humdinger of a master number. The other two major factors that act as bookends is the Winter Solstice of three days ago, and the planet Uranus stationing to move direct at 16 degrees of Aries this Sunday. I’ll have more to say on Uranus in a moment or three.

I’ve attached three charts to this blog. One is for the Full Moon tomorrow (remember, at 3 degrees and 19 minutes of Cancer-Capricorn). The other two are also Full Moons, and both are Lunar Eclipses. For the first Lunar Eclipse of September 28th this year, we have Sun at 4 degrees and 40 minutes of Libra, and the Moon at the same degree in Aries. Next March 23rd, 2016, there will be another Lunar Eclipse in Aries-Libra, with this one 3 degrees and 17 minutes of those signs. Can you see one of the patterns forming yet? Those Sun - Moon degrees are pretty darn close to the ones for tomorrow's chart, just in the other two Cardinal signs.

The reason that I titled this blog Christmas Cross is based on simple geometry. Whenever there is a Full Moon, or Lunar Eclipse, the Sun and Moon are opposing each other. This then forms a cross at 90 degree angles in the sky that are defined by two vacancies. In this case, the other two Cardinal signs in Fire and Air – Aries and Libra. Oppositions of planetary bodies create dynamic tension…a call to balance something. When it’s the Sun and Moon, something is brought to light, or to awareness, so that an evolutionary choice can be made. With Lunar Eclipses, the effects can last six months or even a little longer. We are still under the influence of the September 28th Lunar Eclipse at 4 Aries and 4 Libra. So, in a very unique way, tomorrow’s Full Moon is Phase 2 in a set of three Lunations involving the Cardinal Signs.

My point being, we are in a pattern unfolding in time/space.

In traditional astrology Cancer represents the nurturing Mother, and Capricorn the responsible Father. That this Full Moon is falling on Christmas Day, and near a Pagan holiday (Solstice) is significant on its own. We may take advantage of such energies to bolster our sense of all the things that Cancer and the 4th House represent: Family, home, hearth, belonging and traditions. Opposing this in a balancing act, is Capricorn, which embodies our work in the world, how we are responsible in our society, tribe or social grouping, and how we are seen, or would like to be seen, by others and peers.  While Cancer-Capricorn may be seen to be inclusive in a quasi-collective way, Aries and Libra are ultimately a more personal game. It’s me, and it’s you...the Other.

The patterns I wish to bring to your attention are that tomorrow’s Full Moon will have a definite feel-good factor, at least on the surface. Underneath, all manner of review and revelation may be going on. Review of beliefs based on emotional decisions in the past. Or sentimental attachments we haven’t acknowledged before, and we npw may see them in a new light, and maybe they just don’t work for us like they once did. Disillusionment may creep in amongst the presents, egg nog and tinsel. It may be the holiday of Christmas itself that will be seen as possibly outworn and superficial. Perhaps we need a new understanding about why we gather together to ward off the darkest and shortest day of the year, then as the ancient pagans did, uncork the darkness with feasts, torchlight and merriment to celebrate the return of the Sun’s light and longer days. Perhaps, just perhaps, our modern Christmas just isn’t doing it for us anymore.

For some of us the Christmas holidays have been challenging. Our interpersonal interactions with relatives or spouses have been an occasional battleground. I remember well how a minor argument in the kitchen became a major funk over the dinner table. Hurts can go deep this time of year. For others who have no family to be with, there are immense loads of grief and depression to deal with. There can be a longing for the warmth of family, no matter what slights weren’t pardoned in the past. We have a deep need to belong, and tomorrow’s Full Moon will highlight that significantly.

The Sabian Symbol for the Moon tomorrow at 4 Cancer is: "A CAT ARGUING WITH A MOUSE"

KEYNOTE: An attempt at self-justification. We are still involved in the results of an act which brought about a radical reorientation of one's life. The drives of the bio-psychic organism are still not easily conquered. A multitude of lesser decisions inevitably follows the big and grand gestures of repudiation and realignment. The desires of the body still drown the voice of the "new man." One argues with oneself, hoping to convince oneself that the old impulses are still legitimate. (from The Astrological Mandala)

True, this argument may occur entirely in the heads of some folks tomorrow, but what it points to is the triggers from the Sept.28th Lunar Eclipse (How I see Self and Other) and the one coming up in March 2016....triggers about responsibility (or obligations), lovableness, and self worth. This trinity of lunations is designed to help us see the unconscious patterns based on beliefs that we have held about ourselves, our relationships, families and societies. In fact, many are actually inherited perspectives that are perhaps no longer viable for our evolution, whether individually or collectively. What’s also worth noting is that in the September 28th chart, the Moon is in Aries, and the Sun is in Libra. In the March 23, 2016 chart, they are reversed, with the Moon in Libra, and the Sun in Aries. Patterns everywhere.

There are some other aspects that support the Full Moon setup, most of them positive, but other astrologers have gone over those in detail already, so I won’t do that here.

Now for the last element…

Uranus will be sitting still (stationary) from at precisely 4:11am UT on Christmas morning until he leaves the starting gate precisely 48 hours later at 4:11am UT on December 27th. He is the first present to be spotted under the Yule tree. A planet stationary, either before the beginning of a retrograde cycle or at the end of one, is at its most potent level. Uranus has been retrograde since July 27th. All that energy of liberation of the Self has been directly inwardly…creating a head of steam.  At 16 degrees plus of Aries, Uranus will now be within two degrees of transiting Pluto, in a square configuration we’ve known since early 2012. This will get tighter in early January.

As always, I have no idea what may happen with Uranus in this mix, as Uranus will always surprise, but never disappoints. Something’s got to give, and Uranus is the instigator of change. From a purely positive perspective, this will be like a rocket igniting, so take full advantage of the time between the 27th of Dec. and January 6th when Mercury goes retrograde to use your imagination to envision your dreams, goals and aspirations! And, let them go just as quickly, because you won’t know what can happen until you do let them go. Uranus isn’t sentimental…he create changes. He evolutionizes!

In summary, I would say that there is every possibility that Christmas will come off without a hitch. Everyone will be satisfied, or not. The question for you, my readers, is what you base real fulfilment on. Is it someone else’s idea of what you should be, do or have? Or is it yours? Unwrapping the present of your real and true dreams and hopes may be the best gift you get this year.

To those most dear to my heart, and to all my friends and clients, I sincerely wish you all loads of happiness, peace, health, wisdom, prosperity and joy both now, and in the year ahead.

With love,
Isaac

You hear often, "we're all one".

We are...in many ways. And we aren't, in just as many ways.

What we are is connected. By Life, by the Mystery of it.

Who are you, who am I?  Where did we come from? Where are we headed?

The age old questions...and the eternal journey of the Quest to find out.

What impels us, compels us, drives us? What is our purpose and, is there an Ultimate Purpose?

We are one in many ways, and uniquely different at the same time.

What we all share is connection, or the desire for connection.

We are told to seek it within, while the world beckons us to chase it "out there".

Love is just a word, but what matters is what the word implies, what it points to.

Connection.

Just a word, right?

But perhaps, just perhaps, it is the the one thing that really binds us together, that really defines us beyond all of our dreams, hopes, achievements or even our failures.

Have you experienced it, true intimacy with yourself?

With or through another?

Why not?

Why wait?

Or as the modern Bard sang, "why wait any longer for the world to begin?"

So on this Solstice and the Yule season, we all turn our eyes and our hearts towards the Light.

We all yearn for something beyond words, beyond our meager comprehension.

We want to feel connected, to belong.

Love is just a word. It is what the word implies that matters.

What would you do, for love, for that connection?

Let's find out.

For it is in how we reach out for connection, or to help another feel like they belong, that we discover what we all carry within us. Love. It just is.

When you love another, have you experienced how your love is received? When you do, you won't ever not love yourself, ever again. For it knows no boundaries, nor beliefs, nor conditions.

It just is that...The Connection.

Reach for that, and you will never thirst or go hungry again.

With Love,
Isaac

Okay…synchronize your watches. Oh, why bother!! There’s plenty of time…an eternity of it in fact. So, I'll have time for two more blogs after this one for sure! One next week for the Solstice and Full Moon Christmas, and a look ahead for 2016.

Have you been having disturbed sleep patterns? Are you waking up in the middle of the night, and then think five minutes has passed, and it's been an hour? Think of something you need upstairs, then once you got there, completely forgot what the heck it was you needed?

Something's afoot.

Time. Why is it speeding up, and where is it going? Is someone stealing it? Is it going faster for real, or is that an illusion? Are there Time Bandits messing with our heads, and our Reality here? I loved that movie by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you do so, for it contains metaphors for our subject today.

Now, I wish to preface what I’m about to discuss from my own personal experiences, especially of the past twenty odd years. The nature of “time” hasn’t been normal since the shamanic-spiritual-sexual emergence that started for me in January of 1994. This was a full blown kundalini awakening.

Time started to morph drastically within weeks of it initiating. Within those first days I began noticing strange anomalous gaps in my experience of time/space. Some short term forgetfulness happened.  

I couldn’t believe that what felt like the passage of 30 minutes was actually in linear time spanning a few hours or more. The other phenomenon that began was the appearance on my digital clocks of seeing 11:11 (am and pm), 12:12 (same), 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 and 5:55! This crazy stuff went on for months, and it wasn’t ever fully explained to me that year. By November I encountered others also contending with this strange stuff. My sleep patterns were majorly disrupted, and I was amazed that I was running on 3-4 hours of sleep for years afterwards, but never was short on energy or strength. Quite amazing how my health seemed unaffected and even improved in certain ways. But, I digress.

Now, the triple and quad numbers thing stayed with me for almost a decade or so, but did, to a certain extent, eventually diminish. So did a majority of the kundalini symptoms. However, shamanic awakenings do not have a sell-buy date. They go dormant, but can become a trigger in the future, or become triggered by some external stimuli. Ultimately the Soul is in charge as to what is transpiring in these experiences, and the timing too. So my kundalini stuff, and the preponderance of seeing these coded numbers and the associated incidences of sleep and time anomalies started up big time for me again in 2012-2013…and continue to the present day.

What does this have to do with now, and the weird stuff that’s going on with time and your relationship to it? Well, it’s all connected in one way or another to larger cycles. Some of these are astrologically explained, others astronomically deduced. The Mayan Calendar countdown to the Winter Solstice of 2012 is one factor. The other one that was operating concurrently with that was the movement of the planet Uranus into Aries (March 2011), and then the Uranus-Pluto Squares that are part of Collective Initiation (Kundalini Awakening to Yin-tegrity) that began in the summer of 2012. The big deal of the ending of the Mayan Long Count Calendar was called “The End of Time.” Whoa!! Big claim that. Everyone expected something momentous to occur in the world at the time. Some folks did have personal events of one kind or another, but for the most part, the “normal” world seemed to continue on its way without interruption, until this year, and specifically, the time between mid-September and right now.

The “big why” for this is still a bit unclear to me, but my intuition says that it is rooted in two things. That Mayan Calendar event in Dec.2012 and what our Planet is going through recently. I don’t mean, socially, politically, or even spiritually. The biosphere, the deep ecology of Gaia is changing…and I think in such a dramatic way that it is altering our perception of time, the way memory works, and how our sleep patterns and dreaming function. It is provoking a lot of the stuff we are see unfolding on the world stage too.

Part of this can be traced to solar activity and how it interacts with the geomagnetic fields of our planet. Some of it is the result of gamma particles streaming in from the galactic core. Recent alignments astrologically to the Super Galactic Center (I will avoid astro-babble here) are probably a big trigger for a lot of it as well.

The symptoms that many are encountering are quite numerous. Here’s my list of 7 Major Indicators:

1. Forgetfulness (short term) –  Memory is related to magnetics. If the Planet’s magnetic fields are truly approaching Zero Point and about to reverse polarity (an event that’s happened many times), this can affect migratory patterns, nesting behaviours and memory. All electronic storage devices rely on magnetism to retain data, and we’re no different. Memory may also be affected by the Maximum Solar Cycle, as Norwegian scientists recently discovered it affects lifespans, and therefore probably impacts DNA sequencing.
   
   
2. Missing Time – This can be rather subjective. What others have told me confirms my own experiences lately. Something simple that I need to do comes to mind. Ten seconds later…it’s gone. I need to get an item from the kitchen, and once I get there, I can’t recall why I am there. However, I can remember having lunch with so-and-so over a week ago, what I ate, and what was discussed. The biggest example I’ve had is that I awaken in the middle of the night. I feel like I’ve been asleep say, four, maybe five hours. I look at my digital clock…and only an hour has elapsed since I fell asleep.
   
   
3. Magnetic Anomalies with Electronics – Many report that their laptops, smartphones and other digital equipment are acting in unpredictable and uncooperative ways. Reports of freezing, glitching, missing data, emails, texts, and other weirdness abound. Touchscreens going haywire, predictive text becoming erratic or seems to act like it’s possessed! Battery failures, hard drive failures and RAM memory problems. My digital travel clock has taken to resetting itself during the night. Date goes back 1/1/2004. Time is way off and the temperature switches from Celsius to Fahrenheit or the other way around. Dizziness or vertigo, or general spacy feelings and visual anomalies are also part of the upsets with the geomagnetic fields.
   
   
4. Sleep Disturbances – Going to bed and enjoying it less? No matter what time you hit the sack you wake up at 3am. Or 4, or 5, and then you can’t sleep…until perhaps 6am, then you wake up tired. You wake up and think its morning, but…(see Number 2 above). Right, l already cited that symptom. Or, you lay awake till 3am, then fall asleep. Ugh!
   
   
5. Anger and Deep Emotions!! – Feeling peeved for no apparent reason? Or, perhaps someone’s tripped your triggers…and you’re thinking that they’re lucky they aren’t within earshot and reach?  A deep grieving or sense of loss pervades, or catches you completely off guard. Losing control over your emotions. Tightening your grip on your emotions. Old wounds and traumas are surfacing dramatically and won’t let you alone!!
   
   
6. Stuff about Relationships – This is a big one.  It’s also about Power and Powerlessness. Enough said…you know who you are out there. This is all interrelated to deep Soul work and Shadow stuff. This is ongoing and will not be disappearing anytime soon.
   
   
7. Super Empaths in Overload – Feeling the planet’s birth pangs? I thought so. You’re hyper-aware of disturbances to your fields and emotions from others, the Collective nonsense going on, artificial electromagnetic fields from electronic devices, and feeling the general fear levels in the populace. You knew something was up ahead of the attacks in Paris in November, but couldn’t put your finger on the “why.” Confused thinking. Owning what isn’t really yours. False identification or difficulty know what your identity is all about. Loss of interest in the consumer-driven culture. Not sure how to shield yourself, or if that is even an option. Want to trash your television set.
   

One reader reports some rather interesting events in her personal awareness. Perhaps you'll resonate with some of these, which I've paraphrased:

"Hearing: low hums, changes in frequency, blocked ears, rising pitches and odd harmonics that vary with changes in barometric pressure and weather. Visual anomalies: sparkling around stuff, or vision is shaky. Coloured shapes: aqua and bright green, pulsations. Some geometric forms, like spirals. Spacial stuff: general spaciness, dizzyness, vertigo, feelings of disassociation. Body aches and pains: that move around the body, changes in temps in various parts of the body,  heart palpitations, racing pulse, shortness of breath." 

Of course the list goes on, and I invite you, the Reader, to comment and add your experiences to the dialogue. 

So, you may wondering how are you supposed to handle this stuff? Patience with self is key. So is extreme self care. You can't will all of this to stop. It may feel like you're under attack (see guy at right), and I will not lie to you and say there aren't dark energies or aspects that aren't too happy about all the changes that are happening, or that have the potential of changing. That's a discussion for another post though.

For sleep disorders, there's Valerian Root, Hops, and the time-tested one, Magnesium (preferably in water soluble form...like Natural Calm). For memory, there are herbs that seem to work, but check with a naturopath or some other health care professional for some suggestions. Best not to fight your own memory, and get in the habit of writing things you need to do on a list, or add to a calendar app on your phone or pad.

For anger and emotions, see a counsellor or a coach, discover EFT tapping, flower essences, EMDR, or just get out into Nature and walk, walk, walk until you're tired. Don't stifle though, and be willing to allow whatever arises to arise while giving yourself empathy. Witness your having the emotions, but you don't have to let your mind go into fight or flight, or label it as a threat.

Electronics is another area. I use EnergyDOTs from a company in the UK. Reputable stuff. It won't stop your stuff from fritzing, but you'll be calmer in the face of electronic disruption. Again, get away from your gadgets and unplug for a bit each day.

If you are super sensitive (empathic), then energy work, or specialized tools may help. As you can imagine, I do a lot of work with others having spiritual emergencies or spontaneous empathic awareness. You can modify without having to shut down completely.  Getting out into Nature always helps too. If you feel drawn to do so, I can help support you and provide you with the tools for navigating and enhancing your experience.  Just contact me by clicking here.

I have no suggestions for missing time. It's a mystery for the moment.

So there’s something really afoot, and it cannot be ignored. If Uranus in Aries is the awakening to Yintegrity (the Divine Feminine), and the end of the Mayan Calendar is the end of our being in the grip of historical time and Karma, then we are moving into more of what the Aboriginals refer to as the Dreamtime. Our imaginal realm is beginning to surface and supersede our Yangtegrity-based reality. For the uninitiated, Yangtegrity is “Let’s make a plan and build it” goal-oriented Patriarchy. Yintegrity is “I feel to do this now, cause I want to” intuitive and instinctual Feminine creativity. The attitude most in harmony with Nature and the Planet is Yintegrity. It is supportive, collaborative and non-competitive. It seeks to create community, not competition. Yangtegrity is part of the “been there, done that” continuum. Uranus-Pluto is definitely the switch between paradigms.

Since Uranus is involved, and is prodding us towards “no time” Yintegrity, I must reiterate that I have no way or means of predicting any outcomes here. Uranus is community AND independence AND unpredictability. It’s kind of like this: “I’ll know what I need to know when I need to know it. If I needed to know it NOW, I would already know it.” One prayer for these times could be “I always receive whatever I need before I know I need it.”

Of course all of this, including this blog, is…well, just in the nick of Time!

Go ahead, steal some time. No one’s looking. Or if they do see you, they’ll forget about it in 10 seconds…9, 8, 7, 6…

With Love,
Isaac

Dec 10, 2015

It has been almost exactly a month since my last blog, but some days between then and now feels like a year has gone by. As the comedian W.C. Fields once quipped, “Ahh, Philadelphia. I spent a year there one night.” Now I know what he meant by that, and indeed, so much happens each day, if not each hour, I am hard-pressed to call any part of this reality “normal” any longer.

Since my last post I’ve continued my shamanic metamorphosis within and without. The breakthrough I had regarding my “calling” or career continues to unfold one deliciously slow bit after another. Perhaps too slowly for my taste, but I have come to accept that one my main lessons this year has been the learning how to have the patience of Job. I’ve had to learn to do this in respect to a personal situation, but in the end, whatever we think we are doing is first and foremost about ourselves.

As most of you know, two days after November 11th, on Friday the 13th, a wave of violence shook the capital of France. The following day I stumbled onto an image of a scanned article about the heart. I got curious so began to read it. I’ve included the original image here, just as I found it.

I posted it on my Facebook profile first. A friend in Dublin picked it up and shared it. I started to notice the Likes, Shares and Comments about an hour later. I then made the image my personal Facebook page banner. I then visited Amazon.co.uk to see if they had the book quoted in the image (Love and Survival by Dean Ornish MD). I noted that there were about 45 copies of it available, and made a note to come back and check for used copies later in the week. By the end of the first week there was one used copy left, which I ordered. By Sunday morning the combined totals of both posts showed over 800 Shares, 200 Likes, and about 100 Comments. Here in the midst of the aftermath of the terror attacks in Paris, this message about the heart and compassion was hitting a real nerve with the Facebook audience.
Here we are almost 30 days later, and the tally is: 18,322 Shares, 2,718 Likes, 185 Comments.

What this says to me is this; never ever underestimate the value of the human heart, and the power of its coherence to heal. It reminds me again of a quote from the author Niamh Clune, who wrote “The Coming of the Feminine Christ” – “Only through the awakened heart, can the apocalypse be averted.”

Over the course of the intervening weeks since that fateful day in Paris, we have seen the predictable political reaction and over-reaction. Britain’s Parliament voted overwhelmingly to enter into a multi-part conflict that may well create blowbacks and reprisals. Everywhere there is paranoia and anxiety. The cortisol levels on the planet have risen, as have the need for medication and reassurance.

Over the past 10-15 days solar activity has increased, volcanoes have erupted, and storms have brought severe flooding to the British Isles, and unstable weather elsewhere.  In my personal life there’s been some tectonic movements as well, and only my trust in the wisdom of uncertainty sustains me at times.

As I understand it just now, the pressures that we perceive to be external are the evidence of massive internal pressures to evolve. These pressures are multidimensional and multi-lateral. The energies of the Cosmos filter into our awareness in the form of astrology. The convulsive awakening of the planet, and the living intelligence that created and governs Her is pushing us this way and that. Our own souls are rebelling against eons of cultural and religious bondage, and in the mad rush for freedom the accumulated wounds of all those ages are now becoming more conscious and demanding our unfettered attention. At times it might feel like you’re being backed into a corner. In actuality, we are being shown the open door of our all too familiar prison cell.

The cosmic weather for this Friday’s New Moon is worth a mention…as it’s a dark Moon in Sagittarius. Mars faces off with Uranus, and until the 13th or 14th the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife. I refrain from going into a long bout of astro-babble, as I wish to focus on the energy and what to do with it. The chart is posted below so you can see where it may touch you in your particular blueprint.

Look for anything in 17 to 21 degrees of Mutable Signs (Virgo, Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius) as the hot spots. Uranus will be at 16 Aries, Chiron at 17 Pisces, so they’ll be in play too, as the Sun and Moon will be squaring Chiron and trine to Uranus, with Mars still opposing Uranus, so the Sun/Moon will be sextile to Mars. Remember the trines and sextiles are mostly harmonious and squares and conjuncts tense, and oppositions too…but not always.  I love how my astrological buddy Jim Buss describes squares as “mastery through challenge.” Sounds a whole lot more positive, don’t you think?

The predominant energy for this New Moon is dig in, find out what it is that you want for Christmas, write out your List for Jolly Old St. Nick, and file it under your Best Loved Hopes and Dreams for 2016.  Add a caveat…”only that which is for my highest good, and the highest good of all concerned.” Remember, this isn’t about perpetuating the greed and error of the wounded Masculine nature (patriarchy/hyper-capitalism), which knows no gender discrimination. Instead, think of Abundance is having just enough to share!

Try to treat this process as if you were issuing a command, not just a request. In order to co-operate with Mr. Universe, it helps to imagine you as part of a team with the Coach, not part of a hierarchy with a top-down organization. I also recommend sprinkling your wish list with gratitude and a huge sense of curiosity, instead of an attitude of “do this, or die trying.”  There ya go, now have some fun!!

The only other thing this New Moon will be good for is…truth and honesty. Oh, “those things” you say. Yep. Sag’s LOVE truth (and stretching it :-)), and seek for it constantly. But with the dark moon in Jupiter’s penchant for veracity, I see this as thorough examination inside about your beliefs and cherished pets. No wiggling out of this one. The energies of the past two weeks haven’t been a walk in the park, and you might be pretty frazzled, but this is mega important. What will you need to do now to finally let go of those beliefs and brainwashing? Yes, you thought you needed to hang on to them in order to fit in and survive, but…what if you remove the belief that this or that obligation or whatever is sacred, then what? You certainly don’t want to be dragging a ball and chain into the Christmas Season. Someone may mistake you for old Bob Marley, the ghost of Christmas Past. How embarrassing! Please avoid a stocking full of coal and ditch what no longer serves you. There are better things to come.

In closing, this Christmas has Full Moon in Cardinal signs, and it happens just a day or so ahead of Uranus leaving its long five months in retrograde captivity. I’ll focus on that later, but suffice it to say that it could be a very interesting time between now and the year’s end. The Winter Solstice arrives at 4:48 UT on December 22nd, followed by the Full Moon at 3 degrees, 19 minutes of Cancer. This could be a highly emotional time between now and then. Allow it, and use it to nurture yourself. Remember that others are probably also feeling a lot of feelings.

This Christmas, give the very best, and give of your presence and heart-love…to yourself, to those you care deeply for, and for total strangers, wherever you may encounter them. I overheard a middle-aged man tell his lady friend at a café how he was exhausted and emotional. Yes!! He admitted his feelings right there in public, and it was well received by his friend. I commented, and he was very appreciative to have another guy support his honesty too.

So, reach out to others, and you will be supported in turn. If you aren’t feeling supported, muster the effort to tell someone. Reach out, and someone will be there to receive you as well. Anyone who you might know that is having a rough time, tell them, “Hey, I love you. Is there anything I can do?” Someone else will do the same for you, and will say “I’ll be there, no kidding!” Not to be confused with sentimentality, this is the core of our real human and spiritual selves…to be there to give aid and comfort when needed.

This Christmas could be something really different, because of you. In which case, it will be really different, for you. I invite you to watch and dance to one of my favorite songs (see below) from my teenage years. It may not be seasonal, but we can make it so…just this once.

Hey…I’ll be there. I will reach out, and if you reach out to me, you can count on me. I promise I’m telling you the truth…always. And in all ways.

In Love,
Isaac

P.S. The Four Tops are actually singing in the video. They didn't lip sync this one!
