Last Friday (Nov 22nd) the Sun entered Sagittarius marking the beginning of this year's Sagittarius Season. Now if you're thinking "well I'm not Sagittarius so this doesn't relate to me" STAY TUNED! This means YOU. All of us. You may have noticed the main difference between Soul Astrology (or Esoteric Astrology) and conventional astrology is that Soul Astrology comes from the perspective of wholeness. There really is no separation.


There is a constant unfolding throughout the seasons from one sign to the next. Each sign builds upon and develops what was learned or gained in the preceding sign. Like a relay race Sagittarius receives the torch (or flame of awareness) from Scorpio and carries it forward to Capricorn. The twelve signs are symbolic of the ever unfolding journey of human consciousness.

In each Zodiac season every single one of us has an opportunity to re-examine the themes of the current sign. So we're all, to a greater or lesser degree, learning the lessons of Sagittarius right now. It's just that if you do have personal planets in Sagittarius this will be a continuous theme throughout your whole life.

So what IS this Sagittarius theme of which we speak? Right use of Power. This is a time for stepping into your personal power, and really understanding what that means. In Esoteric Astrology we are told that the fire signs bring 3 gifts: In Aries we have the gift of existence; in Leo we have the gift of opportunity through individuality, and in Sagittarius we have the gift of power - but this is a higher power of which we speak, not power over others which would be the egoic idea of power, but rather the power of Self-Mastery.

The Self-Realization which was attained in Leo, that became Self-Reliance in Scorpio, is now set in Sagittarius to become Self-Mastery. To attain Self-Mastery we have to really, REALLY, know the nature of this 'self' which we seek to 'master' and this brings us to the deepest esoteric mysteries of Sagittarius. Who are we? What is the nature of self? The deepest mysteries which Sagittarius seeks to understand are revealed through our expanded perception. It is through our own inner journey of self-exploration that we discover our light and our true power.

hand and stance prior to firing the arrow which,
when rightly directed and correctly followed,
will carry him through the portal of initiation [in Capricorn]” - The Tibetan, Esoteric Astrology

Some key words for Sagittarius Season are INTENTION, FOCUS and DIRECTION. To some degree we all know the power of holding focused intent and then following through to achieve a goal, but the 'goal' in this sense goes way beyond material goals. The spiritual teachings tell us that we are beings of light and one of the main lessons of Sagittarius Season is how to intend, focus and direct our inner light.

Science is now demonstrating that we are indeed beings of light: that we emit light from our DNA, and that the amount of light we 'shine' is influenced by our intention. The real mastery that is required of us in Sagittarius Season is mastery over our thoughts and intentions.

It is said that knowledge is power, and the highest knowledge of all is knowledge about ourselves. Don't miss our weekly Quantum Alchemy Radio show where we present the latest cutting-edge science that supports what these esoteric teachings are telling us.
