Sagitta the Arrow

Today is the 26th of December. A great time to start to think new thoughts. After 3 days of standing still, representing contemplation without action, the sunrise today is one degree north. For the first time in 180 days, the days are longer than they were yesterday, and that will continue until June 21, 2013, the longest day of the year.

Today is the 5th day of Capricorn which started on the Winter Solstice, December 21. Also the shortest day of the year. Capricorn is the goat. Now is a great time to start to climb. Have confidence that you will reach your goal no matter how rocky the terrain.

We are in the first Deacon of Capricorn which runs from December 21 to December 31. The symbol of this Deacon is the arrow and is named Sagitta. Arrows as the symbol of flight, as going from point a to b, but moreover, as a vehicle used to point at and hit a target. Identify the target quickly, point and shoot the arrow.

The Mantra Om
"Let Om be the bow, the mind the arrow, and the right side of the brain be the target. Reflect on the sound and the meaning of OM. When the arrow is released from the bow it flies right towards the target"
