Get Out of Your Own Way
November 14th – November 20th, 2004
Whew! Scorpio is finally over. This past month can be summed up in one word - DRAMA. The word for the new month is MIRACLES.
The new month of Sagittarius begins today (Sunday). A method for understanding what this month has in store for us is to consider how Sagittarius energy manifests itself in the personality traits of a human born under its influence.
If you think of a Sagittarian in your life, it is likely they embody a bold spirit. The Sagittarius is typically a confident person, a born optimist; for him/her everything is always okay and always arranged in the best way possible. Sagittarians feel they can solve all problems and will do all things required of them. They are said to have special angels attending to them that are responsible for their “lucky” nature. It seems they are comfortable with experiencing miracles in their life.
The energy of angels helping you to accomplish miracles is especially evident this month. There is an opening for each of us to create real changes in our lives - all we need to do is make the effort. And the effort is to get out.
Get out of thinking only about yourself. Get out of what’s comfortable. Get out of fear of rejection. Get out of bad habits. Get out of holding onto your pain. Get out of your own way.
As your passion to get out of your own way leads you to exciting heights of fulfillment and joy, remember that Sagittarians also have the tendency towards over-optimism, exaggeration and excessive risk taking. If you have ever watched a Sagittarian revel in their playful delight, you have inevitably witnessed them hurting themselves - physically and psychologically - because of their “throw caution to the wind” attitude.
Of course, the most important days in Sagittarius are the eight days of Chanukah, which begins on December 7th and ends December 15th.
Over the millenniums, it has been ingrained in our consciousness that Chanukah is a traditional Jewish holiday that commemorates a miracle long past.
That is like saying that an electrical socket is a fancy wall decoration!
The kabbalists teach that the purpose of Chanukah is not merely to continue a tradition. Rather, they explain that during these eight days, a particular channel of spiritual energy opens – and it opens for all humanity. It is the energy of miracles.
The power of miracles exists and is available for us to access every day of the year, but the kabbalists explain that they are especially available this time of year. Whereas the rest of the year we have to work for miracles, during these eight days the lighting of special candles is enough to achieve them. Moreover, in activating the metaphysical system of miracles at this time, we are able to use this awakened power throughout the rest of the year.
To find out more about the technology, as well as when your local Kabbalah Centre will be hosting its kabbalistic Chanukah connection, call your local Centre or 1-800-KABBALAH.
You are going to see some beautiful miracles in your life this week (and month.) Be open, do the spiritual work, and let the Light in.
All the Best,
Yehuda Berg
