Hi everyone and happy new week for all of us.
I'm here to share with you the weekly insight into the week of December 20th until December 26th.
This is based on the wisdom of kabbalistic astrology.
My name is Miriam Ashkenazi and I'm a kabbalistic astrologer at the Kabbalah Center.
Let's see how we can utilize the cosmic influences this week to help us and support us throughout our spiritual journey.
So a few things to recognize about this week.
First of all,
Mercury is making its move forward from the sign of Sagittarius into the sign of Capricorn and will follow later on.
The sun will move into Capricorn as well,
Even though that's going to be the month of Capricorn ahead of us,
Which is more serious,
More stable.
The energy of Capricorn was very much dominant in the past year in general and the energy moving forward into the next sign,
The sign of Aquarius,
Which will be in a month from now,
It's actually starting to take place this month.
So it's a combination of Capricorn and Aquarius.
Let's see what is this combination is going to teach us.
So first of all,
December 21st is going to be the most meaningful day of the week of the year,
And I would say even the era.
First of all,
December 21st,
It's considered to be the first day of winter.
Winter solves this.
The sun enters into the sign of Capricorn and this is considered to be the shortest day and the longest night of the year.
Thinking about it,
This is actually a stopping point before the light of the sun starts to increase by one to two minutes a day.
And if you think about it in a spiritual aspect,
Think about that point,
It's like the darkest point right before there is increasing level of light.
If the energy was diminished until now,
From this point on,
The energy is starting to accumulate and more light is going to be added to everything in the universe and also to our process.
And I would love to mention this beautiful idea that Karen Berg used to share with us is that actually the darkest part of the day,
It's the moment right before dawn,
Right before the sunrise,
Right before we see the clarity and the solution and the positive energy.
So that point is a turning point generally every year on December 21st.
Now this year,
December 21st is also very unique because we have the great conjunction between Jupiter,
The planet Jupiter,
And the planet Saturn.
The conjunction between those two planets actually happen every 20 years.
But when those two planets are changing an element,
It's happening every 200 years.
And the fact that they both entering into the sign of Aquarius,
Which is the air element last time happened 800 years ago.
So we have to understand that this is really a tremendous opportunity and tremendous shift of energy in the universe for all humanity and for each one of us giving us an amazing opportunity.
Let's see what those two planets represent.
Those two planets,
Jupiter and Saturn,
Basically are ruling the social economic powers in the world.
Because they're both in Aquarius,
It's expected to mirror an unusual and untraditional revolutionary turning point towards,
We can say,
A new world.
This is really a major turning point.
And the whole idea of being ready to the energy of Aquarius is really being open minded,
And open our arms,
And be willing to accept any new reality that is going to evolve in front of us.
The energy of Aquarius is also energy that is very unpredictable.
So it's going to be very hard to predict which turns it will really take.
What is required from us to deal with this energy is really to have a strong and spiritual consciousness.
Consciousness is everything.
The consciousness and the readiness to soar with any changes,
With any unpredictable and unexpected changes in our life.
Readiness to evolve and to adapt to any new direction,
Any new order and any new reality.
This is the way that we're going to build our protection shield.
This is the way that we're going to build our wings,
Spiritual wings to fly with the wind of change.
And this is what we want to connect to in this upcoming week,
Specifically plant the seed in the beginning of that shift on December 21.
Another idea that I would like to bring from actually the portion of the week,
The portion of Vayigash is what Karen Berg is sharing with us about the idea of forgiveness.
In this weekly portion,
Joseph actually forgave his brothers for selling him to slavery.
What is the idea of forgiveness?
Some of us think that forgiveness is the right thing to do.
But we learn from the ancient text of Kabbalah,
The Zohar,
That the reason that Joseph actually forgave his brothers,
It's because of a very deep spiritual root.
Joseph forgave his brother because he has total clarity and certainty that every minute of his life,
Even the hardship of being sold into slavery was crafted by the Creator to form him into the man,
The foundation of a spiritual light he was born to become.
So this is a time for us also to have trust and certainty in the system,
Certainty in the universe,
In the Creator,
In however we want to call it in the light,
That everything that we're experiencing,
Everything that's going to come our way,
That might be unpredictable and unexpected,
It's here to support us in our spiritual evolution to help us grow and evolve and become the best version of ourselves.
I would like to wish you all a beautiful week,
A beautiful shift of energy for all of us to help us grow and evolve beyond limitation,
Beyond imagination.
Have a transformative and powerful week.
