The Dark Days and The Return of Light –Winter Solstice 2020
The dark days of the pandemic will be over ONLY IF people get vaccinated, wear a mask, social distance, and stay the F**K at home and not travel during this holiday season. But there are other dark days finally ending.
The dark days of Trump and crew are almost over; except he’ll still spew his vile and angry energy absorbed by the zombies who follow him to maintain his unhealthy, narcissistic, greedy ego; throw in his need for more wealth and illusional power. Illusionary as it is external materialistic power which is ever fleeting and showcases his lack of inner power and lack of heart, compassion, kindness, and love for others. His love is for self—ONLY.
The dark days also include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and crew. He needs to be dethroned on January 5. While people struggle and suffer, he “demanded a sweeping liability shield to protect businesses, hospitals and other organizations from COVID-19-related lawsuits by consumers and employees.
“The bigger problem was that McConnell felt no pressure to negotiate, leaving Democratic leaders to try to cut a deal with the Trump administration. And the erratic and unfocused dealmaker in chief couldn’t decide in the weeks leading up to the election whether he wanted a big bill, a more modest one or none at all.
“It seems that the negotiations this week might have been triggered by the looming end of the terms of Georgia’s two Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, who will face Democrats Jon Ossoff and the Rev. Raphael Warnock in runoffs Jan. 5. Both Republicans have come under fire for opposing the benefits provided in the CARES Act, and if they lose in the runoffs, Republicans will lose control of the Senate.” (Editorial: Mitch McConnell is finally ready to pass a COVID relief bill. It shouldn’t have taken this long, Los Angeles Times Editorial Board)

Enough said, let’s turn to the coming return of light and the foretold Aquarian Age. I explain in Morning Star’s Seven Steps to Awakening, a brief way to understand the coming Age of Aquarius. This is within the mysteries of the original tarot, known as “Philosophical Medicine.” Specifically, the Aquarian Age card, the fourteenth one of the tarot, is Balance.
The Hebrew letter for this card is nun. In ancient Hebrew, nun is a picture of a seed sprout—new generation. Nun alludes to the name Immanuel meaning “God in us.”
This card’s numerical value is fifty. It is a card of blending of the metaphoric fire and water—a place of balance. It is the card of Aquarius, and it reveals knowledge of the coming Age of Aquarius. With the value of fifty, it is the divine power of five on a higher plane of consciousness—ten times five equals fifty. This tarot card portrays the angelic queen of heaven holding an urn in each hand. One urn is golden, and the other urn is silver, symbolizing the spiritual and physical energies within us. The spirit energies reside in the pineal gland, and the physical energies within the sacrum or coccyx. And the meeting point—the heart focused on Love.
The angelic queen is blending the energies together. This card represents the interpenetration of spirit and matter—divine and human. Symbolically, this is where we cleanse “our faulty perceptions, connecting us in a divine yet human way with the immutable world beyond the reach of time’s scythe.”
Another image of tarot card fourteen illustrates the Archangel Mikaël who is pouring water upon the “lion of fire,” and ignites the “eagle of water” with a burning torch. In other words, “burning water” representing the blending of fire (heaven – spirit) and water earth – (material)—radical nonduality. This the winged lion of prophecy.
As our tarot card displays, balance is most important and is a keyword for the Age of Aquarius. There is a Hawaiian concept called pono. It refers to a balanced state of mind and heart—harmony. Pono also means being in balance with others, nature, and the spirit world. Illness comes from losing our natural state of pono. Restoring balance and harmony restores health. Speaking, thinking, and acting properly are the keys to wellness and maintaining pono. In totality, “if it is good, if it is in balance, if it is right, if it helps, if it is righteous, if it corrects, if it is responsible, if it is caring, if it honors, if it is humble, if it is peaceful, if it is neat, if it is proper and if it is well mannered, it is pono.”
Additionally, pono was essential in maintaining a state of wellness. “Out of the mating of Wākea [Sky Father] and Papa Honua [Earth Mother], came and continues to come everything in our cosmos, and that’s why we’re all related and why everything is conscious and communicating. That’s the basis for wellness—this constant interaction between all life forces. When there’s proper interaction, things are pono [balanced]; there’s appropriate mana, special kind of power or energy maintaining this balance. These spiritual inter-relationships are primary. Proper thoughts and actions maintain this pono, harmony.”
