We have just passed the Solstice, the change from the Sun passing through the sign of Sagittarius into the sign of Capricorn. These two signs, and their rulers, show the wide responses to Christmas.
Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius, is seen as jolly, magnanimous, generous in all his activities. Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, is seen quite differently—as stingy, self-serving, withholding love, gifts and affection.
One view is Santa versus Ebenezer Scrooge. This is an unfair comparison to me. Jupiter has a down side and Saturn has an up side.
So, Jupiter can be Jolly Old Saint Nick, but he can also be unaware of how his gross style of humor and affection affects the more sensitive of us. Saturn is not just a stingy old person, it can also represent anyone who has taken years to master something to become an authority.
This year, as the Holidays are upon us, and we flow from Sag to Capricorn, let us flow, not be overcome with the burden of the season. Don’t go there! Let yourself enjoy the season.
Instead of social obligation, see the joy in being around others. It can be fun!
May you find the joy that is possible for each of us!
