PLANETS & POSSIBILITIES:
 A LOOK AT THE ASTROLOGY OF DECEMBER by Sally Shotwell
Sagittarius is the optimistic sign ruled by the planet Jupiter which is noted for expanding everything in its path. Jupiter is now in fellow fire sign Leo pouring energy into and enhancing. Sag's mission is to inspire us to grow. We've recently gained access to personal insights which had previously been concealed via introspective Scorpio's intense influence. The melding of this potentially transformative material with our quest to identify where we fit into the scheme of things is Sag's goal. It's aided by the Sun (consciousness), Mercury (thought) and Venus (affection) spreading the concepts of adventure and exploration in our worldly and spiritual lives. We're supposed to open our arms and entertain new beliefs which are compatible with our ever changing reality.
 Sally Shotwell is a life-long student of esoteric spirituality with a super-natural curiosity and an undying thirst for knowledge. Her focus on studies in Astrology have spanned decades, and have included studying with Mario C. Veo, John Joseph, Mark Husson and C. A. Brooks.

DON'T MISS THE BOAT:
 or, HOW TO CREATE POSITIVE CHANGES IN YOUR LIFE by Mario C. Ve0
There are many - and even effective - techniques for creating Positive Changes - you can visualize... pray... chant Mantras... do rituals... engage in Shamanic Ceremonies... talk to your Angel or Spirit Guides... have a 'professional' do it for you... they will all work, provided you have taken care of a simple little thing called 'Clearing'.
You see, every day you only have so much energy, and it is up to you to use it and direct it - so, if you are busy contemplating your Life challenges, worries, lack, poverty... then YOU are now directing your own Life Energy to flow in this direction! (and you have just become the very problem you are trying to resolve).
But this is nothing new - you've known this concept of the 'Self-fulfilling Prophecy' for a long time... so, why are you still struggling to find Love, Happiness, Wealth, Prosperity, Peace...!?
Mario C. Veo is a teacher of Spiritual Science and a Healing Arts Practitioner. He teaches classes and individuals on Personal Transformation and the Expansion of Consciousness. Mario is available for personal guidance and consultations on Tuesday afternoons at the Shining Lotus Bookstore.

THE SECOND BIRTH & THE SUN CARD
 by Bruce Johnson
Jesus taught in John 3:3 that to see the Kingdom of God, a person must be born again. He then refers to a birth of the flesh, or our birth onto Earth, and a birth of the Spirit, called the second birth. The second birth of the ancient mystery religions related to the regeneration the soul experienced as a result of inner illumination and spiritual initiation. Jesus, as mystery school initiate himself and teacher of the Ancient Wisdom spoke this truth of soul rebirth in a way that those who have eyes and ears to see and hear would understand.
The Sun card of the tarot symbolizes the rebirth of the soul described in the Book of John. The naked child is the soul, the" Child of the Sun", reborn into a natural, innocent, and joyous condition. The child holds its arms outstretched and forms the five- pointed Star of Initiation with its body. A flowered wreath of spiritual achievement crowns the head of the child, along with the feather of truth pointing toward the life- giving and immortal Sun in the background.
Bruce Johnson has over 30 years of study in the fields of Ancient Wisdom and occultism. He has taught classes on a wide range of topics, from Atlantis to mediums to Zoroaster. He is also a spiritualist minister, with a background in spiritual astrology. He lives in Colorado with his wife and their cat.

SHARE THE VOICE
POETRY by Drusant
"This one was written after I had camped out for a few days in Moab. As I kayaked down the Green River in the deep canyons, a voice came out of me telling the stone canyon walls the entire history of earth with all her wars and sorrows. It was promised that the ancient voice would return to tell the earth we are now ready to move forward into awareness." ~~Drusant 2009
Share the voice.
The voice has been spoken after these many thousands of years.
I am the stone pillar with a voice and I ask you now to spread the word
From one pillar to the next,
From one canyon to the next and into one country into the next.
Let it be known that today
The ancient voice has been spoken.
You have stood, sentinel, all these many years,
Waiting and longing, wondering if your purpose has been forgotten.
Drusant is the pen name of a long-time, faithful customer of the Shining Lotus™ Metaphysical Bookstore. A unendingly inquisitive mind that never stops asking 'why?' or 'how?', he continues to quest for esoteric, spiritual and paranormal answers in the Denver area. We are extremely grateful to him for allowing us to publish his creative writings in our newsletter and on our website.
