NightLight News Esoteric Astrology for the week of November 21-27, 2002
Each year, as the Sun enters Sagittarius, food talk begins. That's because Sag is the hidden epicure, a fact not often discussed in astrological circles. Anyway, it's almost Thanksgiving and a note about potlucks to Lifestyles writer Sven Davis. I don't like them. Moving forward, it's a good thing Venus is direct. Now we're better able to give thanks for what we have (Venus retro helps us sort out values) and enjoy friends, family and feasting on Thanksgiving. Unless, of course we plan on doing its alternative -- fasting -- good for health, and purification. Things needed to find out what our goals are (Sag purpose).
There is also another humanitarian choice we can make. Sending monetary donations for the hungry. Recently the news that's fit to print has reported that nearly eight million Ethiopians are starving due to low rainfall and poverty. Reaching catastrophic proportions, the situation is worse than it was in the early 1990s. Therefore, for this Thanksgiving, instead of creating a cranberry, flower, and pumpkin laden table that attempts to look like something from Bon Appetit, I am sending the moneys I would have spent on Thanksgiving to the United Nations Fund to aid the Ethiopian people. For those also in a humanitarian state, go to http://abcnews.go.com/onair/nightline/nl000508_ethiopia.html for news reports, video, and a list of relief agencies, such as the UN, Unicef, and Oxfam, where donations can be sent. About fasting. Two people I greatly admired were Helen and Scott Nearing, a peace activist and simple living couple who left the big city for the country and created the Good Life Center. See their book, "The Good Life." Or go to http://www.goodlife.org/ for information. On all major holidays, between building their home, gardens, stone walls and teaching self sufficiency, Scott and Helen fasted.
The week: It's a good one. Thursday Venus is stationary direct. The moon's in Gemini what do we choose? A dilemma, always, with Gemini. Friday Sun enters Sag at 3:34 am. We rise out of the dark, watery caves of Scorpio, shed the hydra, the bog, and those nine tests and begin to look skyward for direction. "Where are the mountains, we ask." It's too soon to know. Moon enters Cancer at 8:48 am so we go home again. Things link indirectly like two quiet conversations in two different languages. Interesting day. Saturday is completely brilliant. The future pays a visit, revolution stirs, strange events transpire, we seek the unusual. By 3:52 pm (PST) something's amiss with communication. Careful with it as it could wound or fly by without notice and all's lost. Sunday is simply void-of-course (v/c) from 8:51 am till 5:00 pm (PST). Then the Moon enters Leo and our hearts begin to beat synchronistically with the Sun. That makes love/wisdom occur. Monday, with Leo Moon, is rather gentle and nourishing. Tuesday is also, till a v/c occurs from 5:51 pm till 10:42 pm (PST), There's an irritating buzz at 3:33 pm (PST). Wednesday is hopeful and something's promised. Perhaps it's that the time of giving has begun.
