December, 2014 The Manifestation of Merriment, an Illusion or Reality? Does it Matter?
During the festive month of December, the planetary stars and their mythological characterizations appeal to our sense of generosity of Spirit and play. The planet Jupiter governs the astrological sign of Sagittarius. The three planets; Sun, Mercury and Venus will be transiting in the sign of Sagittarius. When describing the core meaning of Sagittarius, the word “Sage” comes to mind. The fire of Sagittarius ignites Spirit and warms our hearts, especially when the Goddess Venus is involved.

June, 2014 "Roll out those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer…" Nat King Cole
The focus of the Sun Rays for the first three weeks of June finds this glorious celestial star in the mutable air sign of Gemini until June 21st. Gemini is characterized by the changeable element of air that becomes increasing more unpredictable during the second mercury retrograde period of 2014. The duration begins on June 7th and changes to a direct motion on July 1st.
