The daily lights, calculated from real time at sunrise on the Pacific coast, for Wednesday 20 February 2019 The wintry sun shivers at 6 degrees of Aquarius. Scholars and historians alike have long wondered about the identity of the man who carried the water jug in Jerusalem, found in Luke 22 and Mark 14. Jesus specifically mentioned this man to His disciples as the one to be followed to the house he would enter. The man led them to a house with an upper room, where they gathered and prepared the Passover feast and the Last supper. It was in this same upper room where they gathered to receive the outpouring of the Comforter in the form of tongues of fire. We are wise to put this in the context of preparation for endings, for the end, for a time of sacrifice, which few associate with Aquarius. The Water Bearer appears again in the Garden of Gethsemane, wearing a linen shroud, following after the man about to be arrested and crucified. He is a fascinating and underreported figure here, as no one can put him in any context that's explicable outside that of being an outsider. The gender and identity of the Water Bearer is multi-layered, as we see from the current rage for questioning these and the concepts behind them. The next time you see clouds, think of them as water bearers!! The names of the stars of the constellation Aquarius itself, the Water Bearer, include The Record of the Pouring Out; Who Goes and Returns, the Urn, and What Issues From The Flowing Stream. Those people and relationships born under these stars are connected with commercial and literary affairs, guiding stars in every sense, and have excellent powers of concentration. The Southern Fish sparkles in the sunrise today. The individual names for these stars of this Star Fish indicate the nature of the constellation is one of The Mouth of The Fish, None Wasted But All Received. Those people and relationships born under these stars are born to be before the public, with magnetic, psychic personalities. The wise and prudent will consider her actions and issues through this lens. With the moon imperceptibly less full in Leo, we are still all about fun, food, family and friends! We need our friends around us, need to impress our colleges and enemies alike, and to lavish attention and goodwill all around. Not the time to sit out! Special care must be taken of the heart now, as this is at its most vulnerable at this transit. Recall, 'touch not with iron those parts of the body resided by the moon.' You won't die if you have an angioplasty now, but you won't heal as rapidly and recover as fully, either. This morning, 7 22 AM Pacific, 10 22 AM eastern time, we try to get our point across in a less than graceful way, and end up getting the rough side of an argument. While this will not last much past 9 32 AM Pacific, 12 32 PM eastern, when cooler heads prevail, we may be wisest indeed to simply listen and register our dissent rather than become strident. We can't avoid the disagreements which will occur at 11 11 AM Pacific, 2 11 PM eastern time, but we can hold back the bitter words which spring and scald. By 1 45 PM Pacific, 4 45 PM eastern time, the feelings are soothed and the friendships remain, though the problems themselves are unresolved. The importance seems to shrink, becoming less by 3 41 PM Pacific, 6 41 PM eastern, and the commute rescinds most of what is left. What a day!! What a Wednesday!! Later, 10 16 PM Pacific, 1 16 AM eastern, the moon sloops into Virgo, which promises a gnarly day of nitpicking tomorrow!!! With the moon in Virgo and the sun in airy Aquarius we are overly analytical about ideas, ideals, imaginings, and imaginal outcomes. We are focused on the iota, the minute details, fussy, worried over small stuff, and committed completely to the service of humanity. It is in this sign that we can really shine! Not the time for selfishness! Special care must be taken of the digestive tract now, which is at its most vulnerable at this transit. Recall, 'touch not with iron those parts of the body resided by the moon.' You won't die if you have a gastric bypass now, but you won't heal as rapidly and recover as fully, either. Now is a time of real significance!

Timetables, class schedules, business meeting plans  Saturn rides through sidereal Sagittarius, pointing us in the right direction when it comes to the law, the Law, travel, school, scheduling, or journeys near or far having to do with our religious views. At his best, Saturn can steady all the wild sky horses with sober calm, turning their tricks into reigns to guide our own inner drives with a more mature hand. Saturn is all about form, walls, and watching. We will discover this in 2018!
 Uranus, the cosmic hand grenade, blasts through Aries the Spring Lamb. Our sudden impulses and tracks seem so intense!!

Currently retrograde till November 24th, we find our minds crystal clear, our reasoning ability a bit cold. A perfect window for studying without passion or prejudice, the most confusing and complicated of issues.
Pluto, the fateful, fitful energy orb which can open our eyes to what is really there in front of us cruises in the sign of true blue Sagittarius. Our core beliefs about religion, the law, The Law, education, and foreign affairs will be challenged, turned upside down and inside out, and we are wise to move through slowly to examine our own innards to see what is really going on there. Sagittarius is the great Truth Seeker. Let's not disappoint Him! With courage, dignity, and grace, we can refine and now redefine who and what we are, in our inner reality. As Pluto next visits the sign of government, dads everywhere, the corporate culture, we can emerge much more sure of ourselves and our beliefs and principles by engaging with Fate now! Pluto is currently keeping the demons in the dark, away from us, till the end of September. Time for planning strategies to slay them!

 Pallas, the planettary BFF and sister in arms, slips quietly through Virgo, the celestial Gardner.
 The planette Ceres, the cook of the solar system, bakes wonders in Libra!! A time of successful entertaining!
 This marks the second complete lunation for this year. Jesus' Teachings on Money  One of the most corrosive quandries we face as American Christians today is that of the, and it's erroneous teachings about money and our attitude toward capitalism. Jesus Himself was a capitalist. The witness of His Own Words provides us with the right attitude on material possessions and our righteous atttitude toward them. Jesus taught us in story form, anecdotes, or infomercials, so that we might have an ear of understanding. These stories have more than one level on which we can access His reasoning. In these passages, Jesus didn't advocate usuery; He praised a money lender for his work nonetheless. If Jesus did not approve, He would not have liken our own best behavior to that of a good and faithful servant. Luke 19:23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’
For the Scripture says, "You must not muzzle an ox to keep it from eating as it treads out the grain." And in another place, "Those who work deserve their pay!" I Timothy 5:17-18. 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that you will prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."
Even He, the Lord of Lords, was accompanied by a group of wealthy women who provided for Him materially. Luke 8: I-3; JohnThe emergent church and it's communist overtones chooses to ignore these passages because these words do not suit their agenda, just like the Whore of the Many Waters, who only tells part of the story.
Many godly Bible characters were wealthy. Solomon was the wealthiest man in history; yet observe his conclusion of this matter. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Job was the wealthiest man of his day (Job I: 3) yet when all his wealth was gone, observe his attitude. Job 1:20-22
We do not please God by being poor; our relationship with Him is the important part of life. It is not measured by either abundance or absence of material goods. Nowhere in the Bible does God or Jesus specifically condemn anyone simply for having or not having money. He always deals with their heart attitude. Jesus Himself not only participated in festive occasions which included eating and drinking with others (Mt 9:10-11; Mk 2:15), there are times when He hosted parties. Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana, he didn’t chastise the family for having an expensive feast. Nor did he say, "Just drink water and save your money for the poor."
In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus positively described a lavish feast (Lk 15:22- The Gospels repeatedly record Jesus giving thanks for food (i.e., Mt 14:19; 27:26-27). As the perfect Man, Jesus exemplified grateful enjoyment for God’s bountiful gifts. He demonstrated that "the religion of gratitude cannot mislead us" (Wordsworth). Genuine gratitude and enjoyment can coexist with a sacrificial, generous determination to relieve the suffering of others. (The Apostle Paul echoes this theme in 1 Cor 10:30 and 1 Tim 6:17-18).
The Bible does NOT say that money is the root of all evil, It says... "the LOVE of money is the root of all evil... " I Timothy 6:10.
Wisdom Proverbs 16:16 Matthew 6: 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 1 Timothy 5:8New International Version (NIV) 8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.I Timothy 5:8.
In 3 John 1:2, John, His beloved disciples, says to us Christians, "Beloved, I wish above all things that you will prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."
