New Moon in the sign of Capricorn - 17/Dec/09

This New Moon ushers in the sign of Capricorn ruled by
Saturn. Saturn was the Roman god of agriculture. The name
Saturn is believed to derive from the Latin 'satus' (‘sowing’)
and Saturn was thought of as a seed-god. As we know seeds
must be sown at their proper times and harvest can only
occur at the time of their fruition. "We Reap what we Sow".
Therefore Saturn is esoterically linked to Karma. In a way,
Saturn provides the law enforcement in the cosmos, giving us
exactly what we deserve. True, Saturn is responsible for
many of the tests/obstacles that plague our lives. But on the
other hand, Saturn when connected to spiritual knowledge,
disconnects from negative energy and through effort is
therefore capable of delivering great wisdom.

Capricorn is an earth sign, and those born in this month have
a strong need for material and financial security. Capricorn
natives, like the goat are prepared to put up with harsh
conditions in order to achieve their goals. They are usually
disciplined, reliable, responsible, caring, thrifty, and prompt,
with a tenacious ambition and a desire for status. However,
Capricorns often only believe in what their five senses convey
to them (which is often an illusion) and have trouble seeing
beyond the apparent...The bigger picture

This month is devoted to healing our guilt, our anger & our
regret. In Kabbalah, it is taught that the most destructive
process that leads to bad Karma, begins with the 'evil eye' of
temptation because "What the eyes sees the heart desires".
It is suggested that this is why we have two eyes in order to
constantly discern what to accept in life, and what to reject.
As hard as it is, we must direct our ('evil') eye towards
ourselves to subdue our ego, while directing our ('good') eye
towards perfecting outer reality in any way we can, to heal
our world.

The DEVIL made me Do IT !
Eliphas Levi says in his book, Transcendental
Magic, its Doctrine and Ritual that:
"A reversed pentagram, with two points
projecting upwards, is a symbol of evil and
attracts sinister forces because it overturns the
proper order of things and demonstrates the
triumph of matter over spirit. It is the goat of lust
attacking the heavens with its horns."

The Devil was once the highest Angel. He
deceptively tempts the seeker with all the power
the material world has to offer. The Devil is the
card of self-bondage to an idea or belief which
actually prevents a person from growing or being
healthy. Battling the Devil gives us strength.
Submitting to him completely is an ego-death.
Through battle with our own inner demons we
transform. We get Satan behind us and see
things from a greater perspective, which
deepens our wisdom and joy.
