FROM THE PRESIDENT

GREETINGS and best wishes for a magical Winter Solstice! The energy this December overwhelmingly asks us to look backwards before we start to look ahead. With two retrogrades and a lunar eclipse in nostalgic Cancer, the energy for forward movement is stalled from the 20^th when Mars changes gears and shifts into reverse. Mercury also goes retrograde the day after Christmas and the Cancer lunar eclipse joins the mix on New Year’s Eve. These are three indications that all action items on your agenda are best put on hold until after the middle of January when Mercury turns direct or better yet until March when Mars starts moving forward. Because retrogrades are signals that it’s time to go back and take another look before moving forward, the silver lining is that this is a perfect opportunity to strategize and plan your next move; it’s just not the time to make it.

NEWS: In addition to a great line up of speakers on fascinating topics ranging from Astro Feng Shui in February to The Karmic Code in November, our plans for next year include many free astrological events in North county. Please plan to stop by the Aquarius Café some Saturday where you can sip your coffee and talk about any astrological topic in a friendly Aquarian atmosphere. Jill Estensen and I are also running a monthly New Moon Meditation Group that explores the energy of the zodiac sign of the New Moon through astrology and meditation. Check the website for times and dates on these events.

SPECIAL FREE EVENT: Field Trip to the Rosicrucian Fellowship Headquarters in Oceanside on January 24th. Remember MESSAGE TO THE STARS? Max Heindel wrote his iconic book right here in San Diego! If you’d like to join us for this unique visit to our astrological past please contact pciampi@sbcglobal.net.

PLUS: As of January 1, 2010, the Boards of San Diego NCGR and the San Diego Astrological Society have agreed to RECIPROCATING MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNTS. This means that a SDNCGR member can attend any event at SDAS at member rates. Another benefit of joining SDNCGR!

If you’re looking for some in-depth insights into how the planetary energy is affecting us on a national as well as personal level, please check out Johnny Mireheil’s monthly New Moon blog on www.ncgrsandiego.org

I leave you with the words from a Chinese proverb that I find particularly right for this season: ‘It is better to light one candle rather than to curse the darkness’.

Best wishes for a happy, holy and healthy 2010!
Pam
