The Star of Bethlehem ( The Christmas star )

a Solstice for the Ages.

We Three Kings of Orient are,

Bearing gifts we traverse afar,

Field and fountain,

Moor and mountain,

Following yonder Star.

These words, penned by John Henry Hopkins in 1857, instantly invoke a mental landscape of ancient simplicity entwined with supernatural awe: a barren plain featuring three Magi atop camels, laden with fineries, inexorably led on an epic journey, beckoned from remote lands by a mystical shining light in the heavens. Though much speculation surrounds the Star of Bethlehem, a.k.a., the Christmas Star, one thing for sure is that, on rare occasions, it recurs. In a matter of days, the world will behold the Christmas Star in all its glory, the most spectacular in centuries! In this post, we shall explore the significance of the Christmas Star, and to learn how to take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity. 

The year is now 1614. A wandering astrologer and mathematician named Johannes Kepler is casting horoscopes for European nobility and pondering the heavens. His ideas would go on to lay the foundation of modern astronomy. In this year, his calculations lead him to associate the Christmas Star that guided the Magi with a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. This same conjunction is about to occur again! Not only that, it will occur on a special day--the winter solstice. Indeed, on December 21, looking to the southwest just after sunset, you will witness this unique confluence of events for yourself. The planets will be so close in the sky that they will briefly shine almost as a single body. Saturn will be even closer to Jupiter than some of Jupiter's own moons! You don't have to be a professional astrologer to know how rare this is. The last such occurrence, in fact, was during Kepler's time--and it was disappointing compared to what's in store for us.

As wondrous as this event is, a word of caution is in order. Momentous astrological signs are always infused with information, at least for those who can interpret them. But understand that such signs can range from joyous to mundane to ominous. They might convey assurance of your life path, inform a business decision, signify the rekindling of a lost love, bring word of the dearly departed, or show the way forward during a rocky patch in your relationship. Equally likely, a sign might presage a preventable illness, shed light on someone of malevolent intent, reveal astonishing misdeeds of someone close to you, offer a tantalizing clue about an illicit affair, or forewarn of a pending but avoidable mishap. Whether an augury of good fortune or a portent of adversity, the information could be vital. Only the naive would look upon the Christmas Star as a mere token of good luck. Even among those for whom the Star does herald good tidings, this information is next to useless without the ability to interpret and implement it. Conversely, those with less auspicious news need not feel that they are at the mercy of the whims of fate. One must take the Christmas Star seriously and be proactive. 

I've worked with numerous clients from around the world who, in a past life, actually lived through a previous incarnation of the Christmas Star. The impact it had on their lives was quite varied and, to an untrained observer, seemingly random. No two individuals are alike, but through my work one commonality has become evident: sadly, without the requisite skills and knowledge, precious opportunities will be squandered and misfortunes will fail to be averted.  

The bottom line is this. Whatever the Christmas Star portends for you, you deserve to know about it! And you mustn't hesitate to act on the information. If it is something favorable, I can both interpret what it is and guide it to fruition. On the other hand, if it signals something worthy of caution, this will also be revealed during a session, and I will provide you with appropriate steps to take to be protected. It simply doesn't make sense to blithely disregard this sign. When blessed with a once in a lifetime opportunity, the wise seize the moment; the arrogant and dismissive let it slip past...and go on to regret it.  

In honor of this great event, and after lengthy meditation, I've taken the liberty of modifying the chorus of Hopkins's famous carol:

O Star of Wonder, Star of Night,

Star with Secrets burning Bright,

Westward reeling,

Still revealing,
