The original Thanksgiving, which occurred in 1621, is thought to be a celebration of the generosity of the Native American confederation of tribes known as the Wampanoag, some of whom spoke English, and introduced the clueless Puritans to corn and other New World crops the British had never seen before, crops that would save their New England colony from disaster.

Autumn lactofermentation of sauerkraut takes place at the alchemical time of the Scorpio Solar Festival. “Pickling, brewing and culturing are other terms to describe this process,” says Satya Center contributor and nutrition author Rebecca Wood, “by which friendly enzymes, fungi and bacteria pre-digest a food. Fermentation increases the flavor, medicinal value and nutrition of foods.”

On the Full Moon, Mercury in secretive, plain-talking Scorpio will square slow-moving, volcanic Pluto in chilly, highly mental Aquarius. With Mercury and Mars both in the early degrees of Scorpio, sign of the truth-teller, the poisoner, the snake, and the soaring eagle, we will be prompted to spontaneously speak our truth without filters of any kind, and generally to let our freak flag fly.

Eclipse portal from Full Moon to New Moon Solar Eclipse features outer planet harmony, powerful Jupiter positivity, a Grand Air Trine and an ongoing Neptune/Saturn conjunction. As social systems breakdown around us, we enter new pathways beyond the scope of our mental maps of the world and we begin to envision new social forms in a prelude to the beginning of the New Era of Air and Fire, which begins in February 2026.

It's Time to Surround Yourself with the Electric Blue Flame of Archangel Michael! This year, 2025, the Autumnal Equinox occurs on September 22 at 2:19 PM Eastern time. Archangel Michael, who presides over the fall season, is the patron and protector of all those seeking protection, purification, and release from karmic burdens. Michael is always available to help us overcome fear, doubt, and negative emotions and thought-forms from our lives. Michael and his legions of guardian angels wield the electric blue flame of karmic liberation.

Conflicted Full Moon with potential for spiritual breakthroughs followed by Rare Minor Grand Trine, an aspect that resonates with the energy of the Renaissance and the Fall of the Roman Empire. Global culture shift coming soon!

Powerful outer planets in harmonious aspects in Fire and Air signs promise electrifying, apocalyptic change, self-transformative healing energies and intense social networking this Full Moon week, and in the months and years to come. Do these aspects signal global Renaissance or global catastrophe? 2025 is said to be the year of the Externalization of the Spiritual Hierarchy, and we are at the portal leading to a New Age.

“Ancient Romans called summer's hottest days, during July and August, the diēs caniculārēs, or “dog days” of summer. This is the season of the Sirius-Sun conjunction, between July 3 and August 11, when the Sun resides in the Zodiac signs of Cancer and Leo. This is the season the Egyptians held sacred to the Great Star Goddess Isis.

Grand Fire Trine fuels fearless exploration; Jupiter in Cancer enhances the power of the human mind to connect to transpersonal realms of higher, collective consciousness; Guides and Teachers commune with spiritual human beings worldwide during the Festival of Goodwill; Saturn and Neptune conjunct in Aries square Jupiter, with Uranus square Mars, inflaming sectarian battles, ongoing wars, civil unrest, and tribal conflicts worldwide.

This year the Festival of Goodwill occurs at the time of the Full Moon in Sagittarius, on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 3:44 AM Eastern time.  At that time, as we celebrate the Gemini Solar Festival, the incarnate and discarnate Guides and Teachers of all the Mystery Schools of the East and West join together to light the flame of unconditional love in the hearts of human beings, and to facilitate our access to the inner wisdom residing in the Higher Mind of humanity's collective consciousness.
