 Kislev
is the sign of Sagittarius. It is central column of the fire signs, ruled by
Jupiter, in Hebrew "Tzedek", and the Hebrew letters Samech and Gimel . The
letter Samech created the sign of Sagittarius. Samech comes from the phrase
Somech noflim (supporting the fallen). In the Zohar, the article called "the
letter of Rav Hamnuna Saba (the Elder)", it says that the Hebrew letters came
before the Creator to ask that the world be created beginning with each one.
When the letter Samech came before the Creator, the Creator told it to go back
to its place, which is after the letter Nun, and to support the Nun from
falling. That is how we get the word nes (Eng. miracle). The letter Nun created
the sign of Scorpio in which the Flood happened, and after the Flood God put the
rainbow in the sky as an omen that there never be a flood again.
Sagittarius in Hebrew is called Keshet, or rainbow. This is the rainbow in the
sky, an omen between God and Noach a flood would never destroy the land. Keshet
is represented by the centaur, the mythological half-man, half-horse figure who
hunts with a bow and arrow.
The letter Gimel created Jupiter, which controls expansion and the ability to
expand metaphysical vessels. Jupiter represents the desire to learn, to know,
and the fields of science, biology, education, art and music. Sagittarius is a
born optimist; for him everything is always okay and always arranged in the best
way possible. Sagittarians feel they can solve all problems and will do all
things required of them.
Sagittarians are prone to over-optimism, exaggeration, mockery, gambling and
light-headedness. They are natural philosophers, teachers, educators, lovers,
communicators, and friends. They like to travel, they love their freedom and
space, and they are interested in world exploration as well as the study of
human behavior, culture and religion. They share their knowledge with whoever
seeks it. They love life and can be quite mischievous children.
Because Sagittarius is the central column (air element) of the fire signs, it
has the additional influence of air. Air fuels the fire and enable it grow and
expend, this is why the Sagittarius can be a channel - instructor - teacher -
salesman or any job in communication that combine the knowledge with humanity.
Sagittarians are adventurous people who make excellent drivers, race drivers,
and pilots. They love sports and challenge their destiny by taking unnecessary
risks. Everything they do is on a large scale, with the help of Jupiter, which
expands the Sagittarian's mind in business, social and romantic endeavors!
The most important days in Kislev are the days of Chanukah, which begins on the
24th of Kislev and ends on the 2nd of Tevet. We light Chanukah candles to
connect to the miracle that happened in the time of the Hasmoneans, when a one
day's worth of oil burned for eight days in the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. This
amazing example of "mind over matter" took place because of the two letters that
control this month; Gimel, whose essence is Gomel Dalim (rewarding the poor),
and the letter Samech, which created the month of Kislev. These conditions,
together with the metaphysical actions that the Hasmoneans did, brought about
this miracle that happened 2000 years ago. We are subject to the very same
conditions every year on 24th day of the month of Kislev. This energy is
revealed again for eight days as long as we connect to it through the Chanukah
candles, and allows us to create tremendous miracles in our lives. The power of
miracles exists and is available for us to access every day of the year. We must
simply light the candles with the right and proper meditations and by that we
activate this metaphysical system of miracles in our lives.
A big part of anyone's spiritual journey of transformation is to get to know
themselves for who they really are, and understand and accept the unique
combination of their personality and traits. Learning what your sign means can
give you an important and valuable insight as to what your biggest challenge is,
so that you can transform it and uncover your biggest gift to the world, which
is, simply put, the other side of the same coin.
