Know your strength, know your path,
and walk it as a son or daughter of God.
—Elizabeth Joyce 12.21.10
May God grant me Health, Protection and Guidance.
The Sun has entered AQUARIUS
Aquarius, you are the Eleventh Sign of the Zodiac. After the establishment and structure of the energies of Capricorn, it is your job to make sure that these structures blend, mix and are flexible with the needs of the people they are meant to serve. In the Northern Hemisphere, yours is the month of the deepest part of winter, which can be most unrelenting. The cold, dry air crackels with electricity. Yet the light of Spring is returning, most perceptibly, along with signs of life, although subtle, which stirs our hopes that Spring will arrive soon. In the Western Zodiac yours is the sign of the Water Bearer, although his jugs were more likely to be filled with air, which is your element. In early Babylonian times your constellation was called the “Giant,” suggesting a great being who knows all and sees all. You are likely to be aware of any political situation since you represent group dynamics. You may now value your role as a detached outsider, especially if you feel there is corruption with group leaders. However, you will be completely devoted to a group that fulfills its stated objectives – when the objectives are those you firmly believe in. Your beliefs generally center around the rights of individuals and the advancement of knowledge. You also tend to assert your own individuality, even if it means working against your own interests. (It is said that those with an Aquarian Moon are most cold and detached.) Your greatest shortcoming is an automatic reaction against any rules, even those that are for your true benefit. Above all, your strong freedom seeking instincts will force you to stand up fo yourself as well as for the rights of others. Used wisely, this drive can serve both yourself and those you influence.
Chinese Astrology—Year of the Snake – January 29th, 2025
The Chinese Lunar New Year is celebrated in China, South Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries with a significant Asian population. Lunar New Year starts on Wednesday, Jan. 29th, 2025, and ends on Wednesday, Feb. 12th.
Chinese New Year isn’t just about celebrations; it’s your cosmic reset button for the year ahead. Astrology isn’t about predictions—it’s a tool for transformation. Understanding your chart can be a strong and positive guide through your life, like your fingerprint.
The lunar new year starts with the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends on the first full moon, about 15 days later. The lunar calendar is based on moon cycles, so the dates of the Lunar New Year celebration changes slightly each year.
Lunar New Year is also associated with the animals of the Chinese zodiac, and 2025 is the Year of the Wood Snake.
This year is all about transformation, growth, and bold opportunities. The Wood Snake brings strategic moves, energy shifts, and personal breakthroughs. It’s not the year to play it safe—it’s time to align with your potential, take charge, and step into your destiny.
The Unyielding Seekers (Goat, Ox, Tiger): Resilience is key. Focus on persistence, creativity, and collaboration. The Opportunity Crusaders (Dragon, Rooster, Pig): Embrace transformation, take action, and leverage connections for success. The Trailblazing Mavericks (Rabbit, Snake, Dog): Push boundaries with confidence, consistency, and bold choices. The Fortune Seekers (Monkey, Rat, Horse): Build momentum, embrace opportunities, and foster collaboration for lasting success.

ANIMAL—The BLACK PANTHER
BLACK PANTHER
Embracing The Unknown
Wash me with your courage.
Most of Panther’s tribe had been stalked and killed by the other two-leggeds, who had come across the big water and who feared their own dark natures. Those people were in need of her healing medicine. That night the Black Panther stood at the edge of the swampy bayou, sniffing at the night, trying to catch the scent of any newcomer willing to go beyond their fears and trust her medicine. No, not on this night, but she would patiently wait for one courageous explorer of the healing potential found in the dark of the unknown.
The Caddo people called her clan the Black Panther, and her tribe was known as the Midnight or Black Jaguar to the Maya. The color black is honored by the red race: Darkness is the place for seeking and finding answers, for accepting healings, and for accessing the hidden Light of Truth. Black Panther teaches us through our dreams to delve into places within ourselves that need healing. She shows us how to track the unfamiliar territory found on the journey of self-discovery and to fearlessly face the unknown.
Since Black Panther is appearing to us during Aquarius 2025, it asks you not to be worried about the future. Trust that you are not supposed to mentally “figure it out” at this time. You may need to confront some of your fears of the unknown, of being less than you truly are, or an inability to simply BE. Let go of any fears that appear as obstacles or barriers. Embrace the unknown and flow with the m mystery that is unfolding in your life. The next step may be leaping empty-handed into the void with implicit trust. In the stillness of the void, find the will to avoid foolish temptations, going deeper into your own self-discovery and healing process. Here you will discover Black Panther’s unexpected blessings.

RUNE OF THE MONTH
JOURNEY
Communication, A Journey — Union and Reunion
Raido is concerned with communication, with the atunement of something that has two sides, two elements, and with the ultimate reunion that comes at the end of a journey when what is above and what is below unite and become one mind. This journey is the journey of the Soul. Moreover, the approach of that which is realized from innermost sentiment rather than the force of circumstances. A simple prayer for the journey of the Soul is: I will to do Thy will —— Your will is My will
Such a simple form of prayer is proper, it seems, on almost any occasion. It is a suitable preamble, in particular, to healing. Raido is another of the Runes in the Cycle of Self-Transformation.
Inner worth matters here, and at such a time we must remember that we are not intended to rely entirely upon our own power, but instead to ask what is right action. Ask through prayer and meditation, through addressing your own knowing, your body and the connection to your Blessed Higher Self knowing, the Witness Self, the Teacher Within. Once you are clear, then you can neutralize your refusal to allow the right course of action to flow through you. Not intent on movement, be content to wait. While you wait, keep on removing your resistances. As the obstructions give way, all remorse arising from trying to make it all happen disappears.
As always, this journey is towards self-healing and unity. This can include nations with nations. The planet and each one of us are concerned here with nothing less than an unobstructed, perfect union. However, this union with Heaven and Earth cannot be forced. Keep within your limits. Regulate any excesses in your life. Material advantages must not weigh heavily on this journey of the self towards the Self.
Trust your own Process — that is the essence of this Rune. Keep on cutting away the illusions. Stand apart from like-minded others. The notion of safety and strength in numbers does not apply at this time. This part of your soul journey cannot be shared. Innermost feeling, spontaneously expressed, is the only right action now. This Rune urges you to undertake your journey, your quest, and if you have already begun, to focus and continue.
This Rune also asks you to be put on notice, particularly with your personal relationships. At this time, ruptures are more likely than reconciliations. Effort will be required on your part. Keep your good humor; whatever happens, how you respond is up to you, and will set the way.
The requirements of your Soul process may totally disrupt what you had intended for yourself this month. Hoped-for outcomes may elude you. Yet, what you may regard as detours, inconveniences, disruptions, blockages and even failures or deaths will actually be re-routing opportunities for you, with union and reunion the only abiding destination.
Don’t be afraid to make the leap or take the chance.
This has always been the section for Healing Requests. Through the power of group prayers, healing take place spontaneously. You can be of help to many others, as well as your loved ones, with one minute of silence at 7:30 pm EST every Sunday evening anywhere in the world. With a prayer for the recovery of health, universal energy is sent out to any and all who send in their prayer request. What is needed is the name and birth date of the ill person, along with a diagnosis, if possible. What are you asking to be lifted? When you place your request in the Healing Circle of Light—located in our Prayer Room, – know that as soon as you make your Prayer request and Healing request – you will begin to see positive results!
(We have had thousands of responses. Keep the Prayers going for all concerned!)
