Wisdom Teaching #12
December 14, 2001
Sun Sign Wisdom!
Our Sun is currently in the sign of Sagittarius
(Nov 21/22-Dec 21). Sagittarius is the sign of justice,
truth, perception and the search for meaning. The symbol
for Sagittarius is The Centaur. The Centaur’s
arrow aims into the heavens and strives for higher things
in life. The centaur reminds us that we are human and
animal, and that we should never forget our instinctual
animal nature while striving for higher, lofty,
idealistic human things.
The main teaching for this month is the
Sagittarian quest for knowledge and personal truth.
It is the month to examine your own personal belief
systems. It is time to evaluate what beliefs serve
you and which ones have outworn their usefulness.
Sagittarius is a “fire” sign and ruled by
the planet Jupiter, the largest planet in our
Solar System. It isn’t an accident that many religious
holidays are recognized during this month, as well as
the presence of a large, very expansive and
Jolly fat man who flies through the air bearing
gifts and delivering them down your Chimneys!!
Because of the expansive nature
of this sign we all know that we can go a bit overboard
with both our eating habits and our checkbooks this
month. Try to stay focused on what your true beliefs
are about this season. Perhaps actually spending
time with someone and listening to them is a more
truthful way of “being” with them rather then
giving them a gift, which can soon be more easily forgotten.
Discussing philosophy, perception and truth with a friend
or family member could be a deeper way of connecting
and exploring a way to expand your own beliefs
and perceptions.
It takes a certain amount of surrender
to see that truth is essentially an experiential thing.
In addition, there are certainly universal truths
that we must all adhere to. This is actually the journey
of the Sagittarian, to find the truth beyond all
belief systems. Examine your life to see
where you are pulled toward your own experiential truth
and perhaps not staying open to seeing another’s
or the truth that exists beyond all beliefs
“The wise man knows
You can’t teach anybody
Anything.”
