Esoteric Astrology as news for week December Christmas

 The Gift of  Serving One Another – Drawing to Ourselves Those We Are Able to Serve

Christmas Day this year (2025) occurs under a Pisces (Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom), moon. Pisces is sign of the Savior and it’s the perfect moon to celebrate of the birthday (story, history, mystery, etc.) of the Holy Child (the Soul of humanity). Pisces, as the sign of the Savior, tells us that we (humanity) are the “saviors” of each other, which is a different way of understanding the purpose of our lives on Earth. It is an esoteric perspective. 

The Wisdom Teachings tell us that, like a magnet, we actually “draw to ourselves those we are able to serve.” If we (especially on Christmas day) contemplate those around us – family, friends, loved ones, acquaintances, strangers, events, etc. – we realize they are here with us (appearing here and there) so that we may “serve” (care for, tend to, praise, love, teach, mentor, share ourselves with, etc.) them.

As we do so (serving others with no need for recompense), our talents, gifts, intelligence, love and abilities develop, are enriched and cultivated. This is a very different way of seeing and identifying ourselves in relation to others (families, friends, loved ones and even strangers) than we are taught. 

The study of astrology and the Wisdom Teachings are actually the real teachings and as the Aquarian era unfolds, these new teachings will be given to humanity. An active daily study of astrology and the Wisdom Teachings help us to remain real, truthful and with the transits, relevant. 

And so regarding the signs below. I have written them before. And I am offering them again for each of us to study. Read all of them. Apply them to yourself and to others. They are about the gifts we have within us.

In this season of gift giving, we remember that each sign (person) develops their gifts, is a gift and offers their gifts to the world. And that we are actually gifts to and for each other. Let this become the reality during this Christmas time and looking at everyone around us, we are deeply thankful for them. And so…what specifically are those talents, gifts and abilities of each sign? 

Note: Christmas is not just one day. It  lasts ‘til January 6, Epiphany. Each day from Christmas ‘til then (12 Days of Christmas) is directed by a sign – Aries to Pisces. We begin to walk with the Three Kings on December 26 (Aries day). And each day thereafter, we join with the angels singing “Peace on Earth, Heaven on Earth. Love & Goodwill to all.” 

ARIES: Creates the beginnings of things, has a fiery, quick thinking mind, does not exhibit patience (especially for slower signs of Pisces, Taurus etc.), is filled with enthusiasm which means “filled with God.” Using the “I” word constantly, Aries is always developing a sense of self or a new identity, amidst being competitive, aggressive, and an impulsive risk taker. The Hierarchy looks on to see if Aries is a good risk for them. Because Aries goes where even angels fear to tread. They are the Initiators.

TAURUS: Learning how to say “no” is a talent and gift. The word “no” is often the first word Taurus says. People think Taurus, saying “no” so often, is stubborn, but that’s not the reality. Taurus people think deeply before responding to questions. Their mind is based upon sensibility and practicality. Give them time to ponder on all aspects of the question before answering (and saying “yes”). Taurus loves gold and beautiful (Venus) things. Gold is valuable, and like Taurus, is a long-lasting investment. Taurus illuminates the minds of humanity. They begin with themselves first. Quietly. The Illuminator.

GEMINI: Notice the shape of Gemini’s eyes. They are different than the eyes of other signs, except for the eyes of Aquarius. Gemini’s eyes ‘see” things others don’t see. They recognize and gather what is new, especially information, to share with others.  Gemini is the quicksilver messenger (Mercury), quite imaginative, sometimes a bit of a gossip, can be charming when it’s important and absent when it’s not. Gemini’s task and purpose, after dispensing information to the world, is to love beyond everyone else’s capacity. Sirius is Gemini’s guiding star. Gemini helps us become acquainted. The Messenger. The Humorist too.

CANCER: This water sign is truly a crab, in and out of the water, always circling whatever interests them, never moving in a straight line. Cancer’s energy is circuitous in order to assess the safety and well-being of  people, places, things, events, etc. When safety is assured, they then get straight to the point, offering nurturing and nourishment to babies, people, animals, gardens, etc. Shy and evasive in public they are lively and talkative with those close to them. Flowing with the moon’s cycles and ocean’s tides, they are very very sensitive. Neptune summons them. The Nourisher.

LEO: The heart of the zodiac, its magical creative force flows through Regulus (Maga, Magi, Magic, the heart of Leo, the heart of those born under Leo. They are the proud lion, the world their jungle. They have a strong will, a high forehead, signifying their great intelligence and sometimes they have big hair. Leos can be generous, dramatic, intense, over- confident, and at times a pain to everyone. They are leaders, need to be in charge, very creative, inspiring others and sensitive (like Cancer). Their purpose is to become aware of their creative talents and gifts, then offering them to humanity. They are a “child of the Sun, of fire.” The Lover. The Magicians too.

VIRGO: They bring order and organization to our lives. Known as a perfectionist, the reality is they harbor, nurture and gestate a pure harmonious new state of reality. Hidden within Virgo is the Soul of humanity.  However, before becoming aware of this, they are often critical, judgmental, opinionated and silently unappreciative. But this is just a beginning stage. After awareness sets in, they become trustworthy, exploratory, appreciative and helpful. Virgo’s purpose is to create gardens, interact with the devas and inform humanity that “love underlies the happenings of the times.” The Mother of Persephone.

LIBRA: Libra is the life of the party, loves to  have parties, play, have fun, be social, and create events where everyone comes together. They are beautiful and have a sense of fairness and justice. If they don’t see justice they set about changing things in order to bring forth a state of balance to everyone’s life – actually to life itself. Librans experience many relationships. Why? They’re learning how to be in relationships, learning how to choose, to discern and discriminate, to share and love and extend themselves harmoniously, radiating Right Human Relations. They are mediators, servers and bring beauty into the world. The Harmonizers.

SCORPIO: Scorpions experience deep, potent emotional feelings and desires. Scorpios also have strong and powerful wills. Serious, determined, often reclusive, Scorpios are great researchers. They are often, if not always, somewhat in a Halloween situation. They pose often in what they understand – darkness, death and rebirth. They appear out of the ashes. They are the phoenix. On rare occasions, they ask others to walk in the shadows with them. Unfortunately, most decline the invitation and withdraw. Scorpios never show weakness, take a long time to trust others, and can be harsh and undiplomatic (a stage). They suffer greatly and we find them deeply and profoundly admirable. The Disciple.

SAGITTARIUS: Known as the sign of Truth, Sagittarians are like arrows and beams of light. They’re straightforward, uncomplicated, undemanding and deeply interested in the world. They’re always focused on what’s ahead, on the mountain top, over the plains toward a goal almost unreachable. This makes them adventurous, always on a pilgrimage, a journey somewhere. They are cultural, photographers, publishers, musicians, lovers of food. They need freedom. Their companion is Jupiter, the Lord of beneficence and joy. Sometimes, for little moments, they are sad. Sagittarius leads us up the mountaintop to the midnight Sun. The Way Shower. Justice Seeker.

CAPRICORN: The sign of self-reliance, like Taurus but different. Caps never ask for help for they must prove to themselves they’re independent, responsible, accountable, dependable and trustworthy. Often, no matter how much Caps accomplish, they feel unworthy and undeserving, judging themselves as not having done enough. This is due to Saturn. Caps need help understanding they are always on the Path, they always do enough (and more). Having earned a starry place among their serving brothers and sisters in the heavens. Caps need to be reminded they are the “midnight rising sun, the Light Supernal.” The Builder of the Temple. 

AQUARIUS: Honest and sincere, understanding brotherhood and seeking freedom, bringing the future into the present, always different and revolutionary, Aquarians are comforted by knowing everyone. Everyone is their friend. It’s good being in their presence as Aquarians are kind, loyal and sympathetic (if their needs are met). These “waters of life” star children, thought of as eccentric, sometimes very determined, learn by being both alone and in groups and consider their work with deep thoughtful seriousness. Aquarians are the “light that shines on Earth, across the sea.”  They are the future. Friend and Futurist.

PISCES: Very sensitive (like Cancer), a delicate fish (actually two), most comfortable in water (ocean, pools, river, lakes, rainfall), Pisces can suffer tremendously, not understanding life in form and matter. Sometimes the fish finds themselves in places and positions not quite right, sometimes with broken feet and bones. This is frightful for them. The Talmud says that “Every blade of grass has its angel bending over it, whispering, ‘Grow, grow.’” Pisces has their angel, bending over them, too. To care and protect an love them. It’s just invisible. So they can become the Savior of the World.
