Sun Into Sagittarius 2012 Edition
Happy Sun Into Sagittarius to you!! Yay!! After all of that dark, brooding Scorpio energy, some Cosmic fire is here to enlighten and enliven us. Thank Goodness! The Sun has returned to cheerful, optimistic Sagittarius. There it will beam encouraging rays of hope and enthusiasm to us, reigniting a new sense of possibility. The current Mars transit through conservative Capricorn will keep the inspiration practical. Still, following the intense Scorpio cycle, this celestial boost will help us all feel lighter and brighter. Happy Birthday to all of our Sag readers!!!
There will be a Sun Into Capricorn edition of the newsletter, due out on auspicious December 21, 2012. But as this is the edition when most of us are doing our holiday shopping, I've included lots of seasonal selections, links and featured products. You can trade the traffic, malls and crowds for the comfort and convenience of clicking from your computer, and these links help make this newsletter possible. So thank you in advance for any support you may share. It is sincerely appreciated. For those of you who are already Hay House fans, note that they are running some very special Black Friday/Cyber Monday
offers. In terms of astrological news, this month I am very pleased to have author Eric Meyers with us again. His insights into the upcoming Sag cycle are astute and instructive, as usual. And as always, I'm thrilled to have him with us. Please give him a warm welcome and enjoy the featured article.

Forgiveness
Holding on to old resentment is blocking your forward progress. When you forgive, healing begins and new opportunities arrive.
THE MEANING BEHIND THE CARD
Your energy field is ready to open you up to new channels of Light, joy, and radiance, but old blockages are in the way. It is important that you practice forgiveness to clear the way to a new and better life. Forgiveness does not mean approving of or condoning the past words or deeds of another or yourself. It means accepting what has happened and releasing your negative feelings about it. Doing so initiates a healing process. Through forgiveness, you will experience more joy, and your energy field will become lighter and brighter. Your improved state and higher vibrational frequencies will attract better people and situations to your life.
"Evolved people race to see who can forgive first" - Michael Bernard Beckwith

Sun Into Sagittarius 2012: Sweet Liberty
As we arise from the depths of Scorpio, the next phase is the expansiveness of Sagittarius. This movement can feel like a huge sigh of relief as the ego tends to feel more comfortable in the frontiers of new discovery. However, for those choosing to grow spiritually, the lessons of the Archer are equal to that of the Scorpion. It is now time to reach the next plateau of our life mission, to enlarge our potential to make a difference, and to lift consciousness from our self-imposed limits. Time to think big and act accordingly, but watch any tendency to overextend, become overly-idealistic or narrow-minded with your aims...but time to aim! Sagittarius fires an arrow of directed life purpose.

Just hours after the Sun enters Sagittarius, Venus moves into Scorpio. This signals the opportunity to achieve greater intimacy (emotional, spiritual, sexual) in our connections--to "get real" and reach another layer of meaning. Time to process and challenge, show our gratitude for others, to renew and affirm how we are impacted by those who matter most. Also, time is ripe for deeper shared investments and business partnering. This is given increased emphasis as Venus applies to Saturn (exact 11/26), which calls for maturity and accountability with others. Mercury goes direct on 11/26, so getting ideas and intentions moving forward is more welcome. In Scorpio until 12/10, the time is right to speak confidently and boldly, to speak truths and investigate deeply.
0n 11/27, Mars and Pluto perfect their conjunction in Capricorn. However, Mars has been in the area of the Uranus/Pluto square for about 10 days prior to this, and will be for a few afterwards. This adds a major punch and push to our desires, and the theme is conflict management. How is power negotiated? How do you unconsciously push others around? How do you get pushed around, and what are you going to do about it? How can we learn to join our efforts with others to make an impact in the world? Specifically, how can we take the next steps in our vocations (Capricorn) to "be the change" we wish to see?

28 November 2012
11/28 finds a lunar eclipse in Gemini. Always at a Full Moon, this is a time of maximal illumination of our attachments (Moon). We are invited to release our smaller ideas, confusion, and "common sense" to broaden our scope into new understandings and experiences. We can dramatically claim our fiery spirit and communicate it to the world. This is a great time to connect with your personal mission statement -- writing intentions down is helpful. On 12/10, Mercury enters Sagittarius (then hits the eclipse degree), so these intentions will gather increased movement. Writing, teaching and communicating is particularly welcome at this time.
On 12/13 Uranus stations direct and will slowly march forward to squaring Pluto yet again (to the 3rd out of 7 exact squares next spring). This is the dominant astrology of this time--the urgency for revolution, new paradigms, and more enlightened consciousness in our systems. The current astrology is very amplified in the direction of personal empowerment. Each individual is being called to ferret out weaknesses in order to boldly embody their spiritual potential. With the current spotlight in Sagittarius, it serves us all to build bridges and discover new ways to connect humanity together. The time for fiery intent and action is now! |

It's that time of the year; time to keep warm and to connect, support and celebrate community. My friend Jenn runs the Toronto-based tea shop and website Steep and Infused. There she sells premium loose leaf tea. Jenn has graciously offered a special coupon for Oracle subscribers. While hot cocoa is oh so tempting, these teas are tasty and fragrant and they help your body run and feel better. Shop online 24/7 and save 15% on your entire order when you enter coupon code SHOP15 at checkout. Btw, this is not a paid ad - it's an extension of the Cosmic Community column that I've run since the newsletter began. I love when grassroots businesses help eachother out. Happy Holidays to Jenn and all of our Canadian readers.

Tales of Everyday Magic
Cute as holiday favorites like "Elf" and "A Christmas Story" are, 2012 has served up some new titles that beautifully express the meaning of the season. Dr. Wayne Dyer's autobiographical "My Greatest Teacher" and Louise Hay's wise and warm "Painting the Future" are heartfelt stories that will enhance any self-respecting holiday collection. Part of the " Everyday Magic
" series, these two films are not holiday movies per se. They are well worth watching anytime. That being said, their core truths run so deep that the effect is particularly touching at this time of the year. If you're in the mood for some hard won inspiration, check these two titles out. I have a feeling they'll become seasonal favorites.

calendar is a great call. This Saturn transit through Scorpio is not an easy one, and the ascension waves coming onto the planet right now have each of us reaching deep inside for our core connection to Source at times.

Her presence is so comforting and these inspirational calendars are priced so well that they make make it easy to cover several people on your list in a few quick clicks. Joining you in affirming, seeing and celebrating the well-being, love and abundance you are throughout 2013. Also sending a HUGE thank you to everyone at Hay House for their tremendous support!!

Oh the confounding crazy dance we do with time in the U.S. If we are all going to collectively decide to change the clock, why not to 5 o'clock on a Friday? With the recent time change, it's dark and cold by 5, and that means that my clearing evening strolls under the beautiful changing hues of warm twilight skies are exchanged for invigorating late morning jogs. It's not that I'm so buff; the cold makes me move faster to keep warm. Hence my late Autumn into Winter hours are now in effect. That means that the Oracle will be open and I will be available for readings during the following times until early February. I hope this will help some of you connect more easily.
In closing notes, there are some musical offerings to share. If you follow me on the social networks or subscribe to my YouTube page, hopefully you saw and heard my Veteran's Day tribute to our troops and Freedom Service Dogs. If not, it's still posted here. For the Sag cycle I've added my recording of "What Child Is This/Greensleeves" to my Reverbnation
page and my app. For those of you who don't know, these musical astrology messages are being produced for Align Radio
. They are also giving me the chance to write, play and record which I just LOVE! Thank you all for sharing and retweeting these videos and songs. It makes a big difference. Special thanks again to Kristina Walsh over at Align, for giving me a safe place to explore, make mistakes and grow. It is truly one of 2012's greatest gifts. In closing, I hope that the spirit of the season taps you on the shoulder, grabs you by the heart and gives you an inescapable bear hug. We have so many blessings in our lives, even amongst the challenges - which are usually our biggest blessings incognito - and this time of the year gives us the opportunity to recognize, appreciate and acknowledge them. Thank YOU for subscribing and supporting the Oracle. With love and gratitude, Elizabeth
