As we count the days to the apparently impending rule by a non-elected Republican regime, whose platform focuses on promoting cruelty and fear around the world and divesting US democracy of its remaining shreds, the December sky seems darkened to a more ominous shade of grey than the dear, clean tone of winter. Against this backdrop, the Moon in begins a new cycle in Sagittarius, reminding us that there are angels here to assist us in choosing a vision above and beyond worldly appearances and mind-control programming.

A Course in Miracles points eloquently to the distinction between sight and vision, a difference which depends on free will and which the Sagittarian within is capable of choosing. When we discover our vote doesn’t count, nor, does it seem, can our will to save the environment, the post-Bush vestiges of human rights guarantees or nations—such as Haiti and Iraq—under siege by our own government, we may be tempted to feel there is little worth doing. Mass media and much of industry seem intent on keeping us in zombie mode, where victories appear limited to a false kind of security: in the shell of material comfort and status quo, safe from the "foreign" enemy, and spiritually encapsulated in fundamentalisms of the most intolerant brand.

Luna now beckons us to remember: Don’t buy it! There is a purpose to your existence, and angels are here, helping you make each day a victory in freedom and in love. Our prayers during the portal of her current cycle are designed to open the windows of our souls and the marrow of our bones to that call, and share its power with all of creation through the magical rays of our minds.

Connect with the angels

Purple is a great shade to wear or use on your altar or in candles, a color to vibrate with Sagittarius’ passion and authority to preside over your own spiritual life, rituals or ceremonies.

The angels and other helpers from the invisible plane literally flock around now; connect with their assistance by remembering aloud:

Humanity is not alone in its quest for a higher, more meaningful vision. The divine helpers are here with us, assisting us in every way that’s necessary to believe in ourselves, in our higher destiny and assisting us as we persist in making each day an act of freedom and of love.

Affirmations to Assist the Divine Liberator

Start your prayers by turning your mind to the Angel of Freedom, and request its assistance to remain free from propaganda or other influences that might interfere with your efficacy or spiritual progress, and to do the same for the rest of humankind.

Then repeat the following words at least eight times:

I am not alone in my desire to hold my to my higher vision. The Divine Liberator is with me, helping me to discern my true path and to distinguish and avoid any low-wavelength influences. The Divine Liberator brings forth any information or understanding that’s necessary for me to persist in those practices, attitudes and actions which will move me effectively to my true destination.

After you have bathed your own mind in this truth, share it with all by repeating:

Humanity is not alone in its desire to hold to higher vision. The Divine Liberator is with us, helping us to discern our true path and to distinguish and avoid any low-wavelength influences. The Divine Liberator brings forth any information or understanding that’s necessary for us to persist in those practices, attitudes and actions which will move us effectively to our true destination.

Follow-Up

If you’re decided on making a difference at this time, do these prayers daily at least until the upcoming Full Moon. Avoid televised news and concentrate on making each day an act of freedom and love, through your persistent intention and daily initiatives, large or small. It is up to each one of us to make the extra effort, like the archer who holds his bow and arrow ever-poised. Our daily prayers can contribute to the build-up of moonlight which will see our world through yet another dark night, into a truly new day.
