Christianity is Related to the Solar Cycle-
Journey from Epiphany
by Carol E. Parrish

This article was linked to recently from one of Carol's Advent Thoughts ExCEPtional Letters, but it bears repeating for those who may have missed it.

Star of Bethlehem
In Esoteric Christianity we are reminded that as we emerge from Epiphany we begin an annual journey of new growth; from birth of the self we move toward maturity, accomplishing all we can in one cycle. From the world of physical science, we learn we travel annually around the sun. From spiritual science we know we are on an annual journey to raise our vibration/ consciousness to a new level. So, just as annually the Lord Christ comes to the throne within the heart of the planet for an intensification of the Earth's vibration, the self within us takes its place and illumines us during this holy time. When it is said in this way, it means the physical Earth, but also, all that is upon the Earth, even within the aura of the planet, is affected, including the etheric body, the astral, the mental, and frequencies of the planet, as well as the spiritual consciousness of humanity. Thus, you and I are affecting the goal of every probationer, even more so if we open our heart to the Christ presence and receive the first initiation.

So from the Winter Solstice until Epiphany, you and I are blessed by the coming of the King to his kingdom and revving us up for another cycle. While this is the core of numerology and the science of vibration, it is also the basis of understanding the work of the year ahead.
