The Process

The first fourth letters (Alef,Bet,Gimel & Dalet) have a Kaballian Meaning of self growth.
The letter Alef ("א") represents God which is the unique universal principle (Uranus's essence) of the regenerating & eternal (Pluto's essence) giving (Neptune's essence).
The letter Bet ("ב") represents the material world including all the creatures which live in it, a world which has a dual essence & accepts everything God gives it.
The planet which represents this letter's essence is Saturn.
The letter Gimel ("ג") represents the first will to have God's essence of giving(after receiving the essence of accepting, represented by the previous letter Bet) & of course is the more developed the creature is, the more it's shown on it.
This will is going to fail because Jupiter (this letter's planet) can't compete with the combination of the three planets above representing God.
Also Jupiter, in contrast to these three planets, didn't pass Saturn's orbit (even in the zodiac Sagittarius is placed before Capricorn) & hence is affected by its constricting essence although Jupiter is known as an expanding planet which can give a meaning to everything.
Jupiter doesn't have an essence of wholeness like Uranus which has the whole Universal knowledge thanks for giving every thing its authenticity & Neptune which represents the whole unity where everything can feel & experience everything thanks for its essence of giving.
It's possible that Jupiter has a seed of wholeness by giving a meaning to everything.
The letter Dalet ("ד") represents the same creature of the letter Bet but now he accepts the fact that he's built to accept (not to give).
This is the ultimate egoism & hence the learning of this situation gets the conclusion of a poor situation.
After all, as seen in the previous post, the word "poor" is created by joining the letter Lamed ("ל") of learning to the letter Dalet.
The word which is created is dal ("דל") having the meaning of "poor".
His challenge now is to accept in order to give, to change his will (from accepting to accepting in order to give).
Because it's the challenge of all challenges, Mars (represented by the letter Dalet) gives the drive & the will to actualize this challenge.
While having Mars's will, drive, etc he must harness Jupiter's essence of optimism, generosity, expansion, giving a meaning to everything, etc in order to rise above the poverty of the moment mentioned above, this is where the person who starts in the poor position of the letter Dalet, climbs to the abundant situation of the letter Gimel.
Now it's time to climb to the letter Bet (after harnessing the essence of Jupiter) in order to actualize the essence of Saturn expressed in the material world & of course to do it gradually & seriously (as Saturn demands).
It's very important to enjoy the way itself, not only the final goal.
In the end of this process, this person climbs to the letter Alef & receive the essence of God as expressed by the three planets beyond Saturn's orbit.
This process is also seen at the zodiac itself.
Mars which represents the will & the drive of this hypothetical person starts in Aries as being the ruler of this sign & ends in Scorpio where it has a footstep being the old ruler of this sign.
This person starts at Aries building his first will, continue to Taurus where he builds his self esteem (& of course financial assets as well).
After than he passes Gemini where he learns to communicate (internally & externally) in order to help him build his home (expressed by Cancer).
Then, after having his anchor (his home, his base), he can start actualizing his personality (as expressed in Leo) & after this actualization he can start merging all parts of his soul (as expressed in Virgo).
After he's internally whole (all his soul's parts are merged) he's prepared to pass through Libra in order to choose his mate & after the choice is made, it's time to move through Scorpio in order to have the deepest bond of intimacy with him.
Pluto which rules Scorpio signals that the cycle he made ended & it's time to start a new cycle of creating a bond with the universe.
Now it's time to move through Sagittarius which is the same as climbing from the letter Dalet to the letter Gimel (as mentioned above) in order to get Jupiter's essence (Jupiter rules Sagittarius) & then to climb to the letter Bet in order to get Saturn's essence (Saturn rules Capricorn which is the sigh comes after Sagittarius).
In the end he passes through Aquarius which comes after Capricorn & is ruled (Aquarius) by Uranus & then passes through Pisces which comes after Aquarius & is ruled (Pisces) by Neptune.
These two trans personal signs (Aquarius & Pisces) together with Pluto (being the essence of the infinity) which helps him get into the new dimension of creating a bond with the universe, represents (these three planets) the essence of God (as mentioned above).
When this person reaches this essence of God, all this egoistic wills turn into altruistic wills & this is where this process ends.

The letter Dalet

The letter Dalet ("ד") is the forth letter of the Hebrew Alpha-bet & is traditionally connected to Mars.
The connection to Mars is expressed by the inner work this letter demands (especially from someone having it in the beginning of his name) in order to reach the self growth.
Learning this letter deeply will discover the poor side of it (when Lamed is traditionally the letter of learning, the word reached by this combination is dal ("דל") which means poor).
But when the poor guy does the inner work & develops the qualities of Mars (initiation,courage,action,will,etc') to help him with it, he opens himself a door(door in Hebrew is "delet" which is written in Hebrew with the same letters of the letter itself ("דלת"), more than that, this letter traditionally looks like an open door.).
The last letter of this word (represents the letter itself & the door) is Tav ("ת") which is the last letter of the Hebrew Alpha-bet & hence symbolizes a movement (traditionally this letter's shape also shows a movement by the little base line heading left which goes out of the left vertical line of this letter) to another dimension.
Indeed, the open door ("דלת") symbolizes a movement to another dimension for the poor("דל").
This movement is actualized by the essence of Mars (will, initiation, courage, counting on myself, etc') & as shown above, it's the connection between the planet & the letter.
The first word in the bible to start with this letter is Deshe ("דשא"), which means grass.
The traditional connection of the grass's essence to this letter's is that the grass needs water in order to grow as this letter needs Mars's essence (mentioned above in order to grow & become the open door.
Without water, the grass will wilt as this letter will by having its other essence, the essence of the poor.
I think there is more than that because the grass in mentioned next to the herb breeding itself by its seeds.
The grass is known by having higher quality than the herb (for being treated by human, etc') while the herb is known by having higher quantity than the grass (for being in nature having the chance to breed vastly).
The lesson here is not to be satisfied having the essence of Mars to shoot to every direction.
You have got to analyze deeply every direction of action in order to choose the best, having the highest quality.
The fact that the upper line goes right beyond the vertical one means that this letter's essence must aspire to the essence of the letter placed right to it.
This means that the essence of Mars which connects the low ("poor") side of this letter to the high ("open door") side of this letter & has an egoistic character, must aspire to the essence of Jupiter (also Neptune because of the watery side of Jupiter) which is represented by the letter Gimel (which is the letter before the letter Dalet), an essence which tends to be altruistic.
Indeed, this letter represents (according to the Kaballah) the essence of the egoism which is a poor essence starting with Mars which rules Aries, the first sign to start the process of changing the egoistic essence into the altruistic one(the real open door) gradually.
The self growth according to this letter will occur by actualizing the essence of Mars of drive, will, initiation not in an impulsive way but in a calculated (not too much of course, it's a challenge itself to know the right level of calculation in any point of this changing life) way of selecting the best possibilities which will be good to all (not just for me).

The eclipse of the 24.10.1995

The sun's eclipses were considered as a source of troubles (for example earthquakes).
Mostly it happens when the eclipse touches a sensitive point in the horoscope such as the ascendant.
As we're going to see here, the eclipses can have more dramatic effects which can also actualize before them as welcoming them (as the declaration of independence which occurred in 1776 welcomed Uranus's discovery which occurred five years later).
The eclipse that happened in 24.10.1995 at 4:35 (Greenwich's time)  & placed in the beginning of the sign Scorpio affected the U.S.A for creating a square with Mercury (of the U.S map) which is the ruler of house no.1.
House no. 1 talks (among other things) about the character of the person/nation.
As Gemini is placed there the character of the U.S nation is indeed multicolored having lots of nations living there.
The effect of the eclipse means total (Pluto's essence because this eclipse was placed in Scorpio which is ruled by Pluto) stain (the eclipse is known to have negative sides) on the nation (Mercury represents the nation's character as being the ruler of house no.1).
The eclipse had lots of hard aspects with other planets on the sky & this fact enhanced the totality mentioned above.
Close to the time of the eclipse (although before it) was the acquittal of O.J Simpson from the murders of his ex wife & her boyfriend.
For the white people it was a total stain on the nation.
It was shown that the emotional-psychological side took over the Jury who had a majority of black people (it could be (very much) that they saw Simpson as an another version of Rodney King who had been beaten by 4 policemen just for being black few years ago).
It was shown by having empathy toward Simpson's family (more than towards the families of the victims) & towards the forensic expert named Henry Lee that won Simpson his acquittal for being: " a very impressive gentleman ", "the most credible witness" & a person who "had a lot of impact on a lot of people".
It's known that Pluto is connected to the emotional-psychological side.
Pluto can be connected to racism because race is a basic character & Pluto always go down to the base of everything.
Pluto, as being the highest point of Mars, also connected to violence.
The sentences: " a very impressive gentleman ", "the most credible witness" & "had a lot of impact on a lot of people" can be related to the magnetic power of Pluto.
This trial exposed the undercover (Pluto is connected to the undercover & also to its exposure) racism (the connection to Pluto's essence is mentioned above) & corruption (that can also be related to Pluto because of its traditional connection to evil & crime) of the police (which also connected to Pluto (because of the secrecy & the thoroughness which include in this work) but to its positive side).
This was by the courtesy of the policeman Mark Fuhrman who did use the word "nigger" & admitted in planting evidences (in general).
More than that, Pluto had its fingerprint in the controversial comparison of this Mark Fuhrman to Hitler (made by Cochran, one of Simpson's lawyers).
Cochran was letter to be condemn by his co-counsel Robert Shapiro for "not only playing the race card, but playing it from the bottom of the deck".
It's known that Pluto always gets down to the bottom of everything.
In addition, the secrecy of Pluto was shown in the case of Simpson's small black bag (where the prosecution suspected the murder weapon was) which was never seen after Simpson refused to let his limo driver touch it.
Pluto's essence of darkness was expressed by the "shadowy figure wearing dark clothes" which was thought to be Simpson by the prosecution.
Pluto's essence of death was expressed by the letter Simpson left behind, a letter with all the markings of a suicide letter which ended in:"Don't feel sorry for me.  I've had a great life, great friends.  Please think of the real O. J. and not this lost person.  Thanks for making my life special.  I hope I helped yours. Peace and love, O. J." 
Pluto's essence of extreme is shown here too, from the top (having great life,great friends...) to the bottom (lost person).
This information was taken from "The Trial of Orenthal James Simpson" by Doug Linder (2000).
Pluto also exposed the extremes of the nation (more than 90% of the white people thought that Simpson was guilty & more than 80% of the black people thought he was innocent, as seen in a survey).
This trial was called by the media "The Trial of the Century".
This technical term also has Plato's essence as describing a trial which contains the whole century (Pluto's essence indeed contains everything).
Pluto emphasize the existence of a Neo-Nazi organizations in the U.S.A after Simpson was threatened by one of the to be killed like a dog for murdering a white woman.
There wasn't only a square between  the eclipse & Mercury (of the birth chart), the square was also with Pluto (of the birth chart) which is placed in house no.9, the house of law & justice to indicate the total distraction of the two & therefore the need of a total rebirth in these two.
The eclipse occurred while being in house no.6 of the birth chart.
House no.6 is the house of the inner merging of all the pieces (of the U.S.A in this case) & the position of this eclipse (being affected strongly by Pluto's essence) indicates also the need of a total rebirth because of a total distraction in the area of inner merging.
Some of the "pieces" which have to be merged are the police (represented by Pluto creating a square with the eclipse) having corrupted police officers like Mark Fuhrman, the law system (represented by house no.9 where Pluto is placed in the birth chart) having lawyers "playing the race card from the bottom of the deck" & jury thinking emotionally, the media (represented by Mercury which is also placed in the house of the media, house no.3 (according to the birth chart)) for adoring Simpson (as also seen in the end of the movie "Natural Born Killer" directed by Oliver Stone who "has continually maintained that the film is a satire on how serial killers are adored by the media for their horrific actions" (according to wikipedia)) & a lot more.
It was enhanced because up in the sky the eclipse created 30 degrees aspect (which is also considered a hard aspect) with Pluto which was placed in house no.6 at this time & also created a 45 degrees aspect with Jupiter which is connected to the law system.
Jupiter was at this moment in house no.7 (Jupiter also rules this house in the birth chart of the U.S.A) which is the house of the public to indicate the wide (Jupiter's essence) influence of this trial (the trial itself is connected to the law system which is connected to Jupiter traditionally) on the public.
An example of that of course is the bun of the white people against Simpson.
The fact that Jupiter is in house no.2, the house of self esteem (according to the birth chart) indicate the damage of the self esteem of the public (& the U.S.A itself) because of this trial.
Also up in the sky the eclipse created an aspect of 90 degrees with the conjunction of Uranus & Neptune (when Neptune was before Uranus).
Neptune Indicated the vague situation (on one hand there were lots of evidences to convict & on the other hand there were the black jury seeing Simpson as a victim of the conspiracy of the police) before the acquittal.
Neptune also indicated the naivety of the prosecution & of the white people thinking that eventually Simpson will be found "guilty".
Uranus which was placed after Neptune indicated (for the prosecution & for the white people) the surprise of the acquittal itself which came after Neptune's confusion & naivety (mentioned above).
The conjunction of Uranus & Neptune in the sky created a conjunction with Pluto of the birth chart.
This fact indicates the total destruction of the trust the white people had about the law system (this three planets were in house no.9 which is connected to the law system) & the need for a total rebirth in this area.
The main lesson from this eclipse is to be able (for everyone) to contain Pluto's essence (the infinity which contains everything), to be thorough & deep in every move you make & every step you take in life.
Exactly as mentioned in other posts, to do a deep & thorough observation inside your soul before acting.
The fact that the eclipse occurred in the sign Scorpio (ruled by Pluto) & in house no.6 of the U.S.A birth chart which is the house of inner merging of all the pieces/parts emphasize this fact because you have to be thorough & deep in order to reach all the parts of your soul.
The final inner merging of these parts (after their deep & thorough discovery & express) will be the needed rebirth of Pluto.
Of course actualizing this process personally will help actualizing it nationally (as mentioned above about the "pieces" of the U.S.A).
This process will bring the self growth this eclipse wanted us to gain.
It's also important to change our egoistic approch to an altruistic one because of Pluto's totality which rules in the air.
In the long term an egoistic approch is going to cause a total destruction while the altruistic approch is going to cause a total construction of the nation.

The letter Gimel

The letter Gimel ("ג") is the third letter of the Hebrew alpha-bet & traditionally is connected to Jupiter.
In the Bible, the first word to start with this letter is the word "gdolim" ("גדלים") which means big ones.
The fact that Jupiter is the biggest planet connect it to the letter.
The shape of this letter is traditionally described as a walking man who wants to give & this is exactly Jupiter's journeys & generosity.
Jupiter's watery side (which ruled Pisces before Neptune's discovery) & the second letter of the letter's word itself ("מ",Gimel is written "גמל") which is connected to Neptune give this letter its Neptune's side of philanthropy.
Indeed, learning the essence of this letter leads to the word Gal ("גל",Lamed "ל" is traditionally the letter of learning) which means "wave".
The wave is known as being abundant (Jupiter's essence) with water (Neptune's essence besides spirituality).
It's known that the Philanthropy (Neptune's essence or the watery essence of Jupiter which merge with it) leads to the highest point of life as expressing the power of giving which rules the universe.
This letter is also connected to heights.
The wave itself (which starts with this letter in Hebrew) represents the highest point the sea water can reach.
Also there as words in Hebrew which starts with this letter like gag ("גג") which means roof & gova ("גובה") which means height.
According to the Kaballah, as being connected to Neptune's (or watery Jupiter's) philanthropy, this letter represents the initial will (of the human being) to be like God & to give instead of accept/take (when the first letter Alef represents God who gives & the second letter Bet represents all creatures created by God (including the human being of course) who accept what God gives).
The challenge here (for someone having this letter in his name, especially as the first letter because according to Numerology, the first letter of the name is like house no.1 in astrology) is to utilize properly this power of giving.
Before giving it's very recommended to check if the person you want to give to is really deserves that & if so, how much.
It's also recommended to check it constantly through life even about the same person becuase he probably changes as life.
These challenges are the key for the person's self growth.

The letter Bet

The letter Bet ("ב") is the second letter in the Hebrew alphabet.
This letter traditionally represents God's creation which has a dual aspect.
This representation of this dual aspect of God's creation comes from being the second letter.
This letter traditionally relates to Saturn Which contains all the essence of the materialistic world.
The materialistic world is known as a dual world having its opposites (beauty vs. ugliness, wealth vs. poverty ,etc').
Because of that Saturn also connected to this dual side.
More than that, Saturn is known as a separating planet & hence even having the potential to create this dual side.
The base line of this letter is a little bit larger that the top line directed to the back.
This direction to the back is actually to the letter Alef that comes before it.
It traditionally represents the aspiration of the creation (represented by the letter Bet) to reach God's essence (represented by the letter Alef).
That's why this letter is known to have its potential to bring down the spiritual world to the material world.
Saturn works in the same way.
It helps you actualize the materialistic essence in order to develop your spiritual side.
That's why the actualization of the last earthy sign Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) leads you to the sign Aquarius (ruled by Uranus which is also represented by the letter Alef) & then to the last sign Pisces (ruled by Neptune which represents the unity & the giving power of God).
Hence Saturn also has its potential to bring down the spiritual world to the material world.
This letter is also traditionally connected to the inner side of us.
Saturn also helps us develop our inner side as being a "hard teacher" who  insists on the truth.
It's known that the real me is the inner me.
This letter traditionally symbolizes a house because of its shape (the base line is the base, the top line is the roof (which is shorter than the base), the vertical line is the wall & the open left side is the open door of the house- this is the traditional sight of it).
Saturn is indirectly connected to it being the traditional ruler of house no. 10 which is the house of the mother who stays at home to help you actualize your career (house no. 10 is also the house of the career in astrology).
This letter is known to have the potential of learning one thing from another.
Saturn also has this potential by letting us learn from our experience.
This letter is also connected to the creatures of the creation which according to the Kaballah have the will to accept all pleasures that God (represented by the former letter Alef) gives.
This is what happen in this material world which Saturn is the highest point of it.
As seen the challenge of this letter (& Saturn of course) is to combine the two worlds (the spiritual & the material), to actualize the essence of the material world, to build it in the best way in order to let the spiritual world live inside it.

Hag Sukkot(2)

Hag Sukkot has a custom of bringing four kinds of plants to the booth.
Each one traditionally symbolizes an aspect of the universal (Uranus) unity (Neptune) & also advise how to get there.

The first one is the Hadas ("הדס"-myrtle) which traditionally represents the universal unity of the past because every branch grows into three & hence leads (if going backwards) to the source of everything that contains everything (Pluto) & also is united (Neptune).
The advise of the Hadas is that although you're found in this world (represented traditionally by the letter Heh("ה")) which was created after this unity has gone, clinging to the essence of Mars (represented traditionally by the letter Daled-"ד" when the ego side of it is emphasized) will eventually make it possible to reach this unity again (represented traditionally by the letter Samech-"ס") which has Neptune's altruism.
The bottom line here is achieving Neptune's unity by working well on your ego (represented by Mars).

The second one is the Palm branch (lulav-"לולב") which traditionally represents the unity of the future because its leaves are combined together & this is going to be the structure of mankind in the enlightened world.
The Lulav's advise is mostly learning (the traditional letter of learning "ל"(lamed) is found twice & is represented by the sign Libra to emphasize the importance of seeing the two sides of the coin) but also combining the spirit(Saturn's airy side) to the matter (Saturn's earthy side) & which is represented traditionally by the letter Vav-"ו", all is expressed  in this learning.
Eventually this learning which combines matter & spirit must cope with the duality of this world (which starts with the uniqueness of Uranus & ends with the materialism of Saturn & traditionally represented by the letter Bet-"ב").
If you do this well, you're in the right way to reach this unity of the future.

The third one is the Arraba (withy-"ערבה") which traditionally represents the unity of the present when people are forced to be together by social culture as all withies are forced to live together near a source of water.
A shallow view will show that there is a unity but not a real one.
A deep view will show this is the recommended unity because no one misses his uniqueness (Uranus).
It's possible that the leaves of the Lulav miss their uniqueness because they are too connected to each other.
The first letter of this word is Ain("ע") which traditionally connected to the sign Capricorn.
The real (& deep) essence of Capricorn is to actualized the materialism in order to be free to touch the spirit.
The truth is that everyone should do it as much as he can in order not to miss his purpose of being here.
Only a shallow look at it will say it's concentrating on the materialism only.
When you actualize the essence of Capricorn you reach the next sign  Aquarius which is controlled by Uranus who gives you your uniqueness.
This is similar to what has been about the unity which is represented by the withy (above).
The second letter Resh ("ר") as already has been said represents new beginnings(the essence of Mars as controlling the first sign Aries) which in this case come after actualizing the essence of Capricorn (represented by the letter Ain ("ע") before it).
This is the key of understanding the word "ער"-er which means aware or awaken.
The real aware (or awaken) person actualizes the essence of the material world & this help him see the vast number of opportunities which come through his way.
As an aware (or awaken) person he deals with the duality of the creation (represented by the letter Bet ("ב")).
It's of course easy for him to do after actualizing the essence of Capricorn (represented by the letter Ain("ע"), by the way the letter Bet("ב") is represented by Saturn that controls Capricorn).
As the letter Bet also known as representing every creature in the creation, it's the key of understanding the word "ערב" which means guarantor.
Being Aware (or awaken)("ער") to every creature's wills,needs,etc'("ב") makes this person a guarantor("ערב").
When everyone is a guarantor to everyone in this world (represented traditionally by the last letter Heh ("ה")), the real unity finally is achieved.
This is the real & deep meaning of the word Arraba-"ערבה".

The fourth (& the last) one in the Etrog-"אתרוג" (citron) which traditionally represents the unity of all times as being durable all over the year.
The first letter is Alef ("א") which represents the essence of God (which exists all over the times) which is expressed by the three planets beyond Saturn's orbit (as mentioned in earlier posts).
The letter Tav("ת") that comes after it emphasizes it as signing it("tav" means sign in Hebrew).
If you adopt God's essence & become a regenerating (Pluto) giver (Neptune) according to your authenticity (Uranus), the vast number of new beginnings (represented by the letter Resh ("ר") which represents the essence of Mars) will open themselves to you and will expand in time because of Jupiter essence which is represented by the last letter Gimel ("ג").
The expansion over time (Jupiter's essence represented by the letter Gimel ("ג")) of the new beginnings (Mars's essence represented buy the letter Resh ("ר"))
is reached by connecting to God's essence as described above.
This helps you attain the universal principle (Uranus) of the Unity (Neptune) of all times (Pluto).

As seen at the post "Hag Sukkot 1" the booth helps you get Uranus's essence.
As seen here the four kinds of plants help you get Neptune's essence.
The end of the feast also helps you get Pluto's essence because at the last day of the feast you end reading all the Torah's lessons ("Parashot")  & you start it from the beginning again (regeneration).

David's day-the seventh day

The seventh day is known as the day that David (the king) visits our booth.
David represents the essence of earth, which is also the world we live in.
Earth's essence includes stability,practicality,materialism,etc'.
The connection to David is expressed by the fact that as a king he "ran" earth (so he had to have its essence to make his kingdom last).
This day gives a great chance to work on one of the worst characteristics of earth which is being stuck (physically,mentally,spiritually,etc') which usually (or even always) is derive from the basic fear from the change.
In this day we deeply observe the level of the actualization of this essence.
In other words we deeply check how practical,stable,material,etc' we're.
The challenge here is to reach the right level of this essence's qualities.
For instance it's not good to be too stable because you're going to be stuck but it's also not good not to have sufficient stability because you're going to live "in the air" while missing your mission in this world (which is an earthy world).
As this essence symbolizes this world itself it's not only important to develop this qualities but also it's important to merge the qualities of the other days & make them practically actualized.
This is the end of the transformation process where all the virtues of the planets we encounter the last days are balanced in the right proportion.
Of course the right proportion can be changed through the changing life but the point is the awareness to it.
Yes, the more you worked on it in the last days, the easier it's going to be.

Yosef's day-the sixth day

The sixth day is known as the day Yosef visits our booth.
Yosef represents the essence of the Moon (& the fiery side of Mars).
It's because the Moon & Mars are connected to the base (as representing basic instincts of reaction (the moon) & of initiation (Mars)).
Yosef was a base for the Egyptians to lean on through the years of the hunger & this is probably the connection to these planets.
The Moon also represents the mother, the family, the subconscious, the daily habits, etc'.
In this day we check our relationship with our mother.
Is it calm or tense most of the time?
Is our mother over-protective or the opposite of it?
Of course there are a lot of questions that we need to ask on this matter...
The challenge here is to reach the balance between our Independence & our bond to our mother which is basically dependent while having a relationship (with our mother)that we can truly live with it.
Of course this balance can be changed through the flow of life.
By the way we check our inner mother (the soft & sensitive side of ours which takes care of).
Are we a caring/sensitive persons enough?over-caring/sensitive or little?
We deeply check our life to see where we stand on this matter,we see where we missed being like that & why, change what's needed to be changed(for example if we came into a conclusion that we're over caring/sensitive while knowing that every case stands for itself) & keep doing it all the time.
We continue doing so about the relationship to our family in general.
It's also a chance to check deeply our daily habits to see which one delays us from achieving our goals or just living properly.
It's the time to initiate new things & to break the habits which we identified as a delaying habits.
It's very important to change a delaying habit with an initiation of a new thing as soon as possible in order to prevent this old habit from grasping on us(in this case it has no home to return to).
In addition we promise ourselves to continue doing so all the time because this is the key for our self growth.
More than that, it's also important to balance between the artistic side of Venus & the concrete side of Mercury than implement (by its communication) the artistic ideas of Venus.

Aharon's day-the fifth day

The fifth day of the feast is known as the day that Aharon visits our booth.
Aharon represents the essence of Mercury that includes communication,thinking,rationalism & movement.
Indeed, Aharon helped his brother Moshe (that described himself as a heavy talker) to communicate with the Jewish nation.
Aharon also took a rational attitude when he prefer the people to be sinners than rebellious in the case of the golden calf.
In this day we deeply observe our communication.
Do we talk a lot or a little?
Did we have a chance for communication that we missed?Where?When?Why?
Do we talk from the heart or our talking is artificial?
Whatever the answers are we promise ourselves to improve it (while flowing with life about the first question).
We do the same with our thinking.
We try to find a delaying patterns of thinking deriving from low self esteem,fears,etc'.
We promise ourselves to work on it & to turn it into a constructive pattern of life.
It's very important to change a delaying pattern with a constructive pattern as soon as possible in order to prevent the delaying pattern from clinging on you(in this case it has no home to return to).
An example of that can be saying:" I can do this,if not in this way then in other way & in the worst case it won't be perfect,so what?" instead of saying:"I can't do it, it's beyond my ability".
We check where we stand in our way of thinking.
Are we spontaneous or calculated most of the time?conservative or advanced?etc'.
We check the incidents which occurred in our lives (the more the better) to see how the way of our thinking affected it.
Was it after all a delaying pattern of life that failed us?
Did we have to be more spontaneous in order to succeed (we relatively failed for being over-calculated) or the opposite is true?
We ask the same about other extremes such as conservative/advanced thinking (again the more the better).
We promise ourselves to work on it, change where it's needed & of course continue doing so through the changing life.
This day also gives us a chance to work on the negative side of Mercury such as gossip & being two-faced.
As Mercury in connected to movement, it gives us a chance to realize how much do we listen to our body.
Do we walk well?
Do we change positions (from standing to walking & the opposite, from standing to sitting & the opposite, etc') well?
Yes, it's a lot of work but the more you invest in this work, the more healthy & growing you're going to be.

Moshe's (Moses's) day-the fourth day

The fourth day of the feast is known as the day that Moshe (Moses) visits our booth.
Moshe represents Venus essence.
It's shown by the fact that he received God's inspiration to write the Torah.
Venus is the level where the art receives a shape.
This is exactly what happened here.
The art (represented by God's inspiration) received its shape of the Ten Commandments written on a two stony boards.
Venus essence also includes satisfaction,art,love,beauty,balance,etc.
In this day we deeply observe the level of our satisfaction in life.
We see if there is something (that would make us satisfied) we wanted to do but never did although we wanted to.
It's time to seek for new pleasures even if they look small & simple.
From my experience the real pleasures are the small & the simple ones.
Of course we change & diverse them when it's needed through the flow of life.
It's time to seek & develop our art skills & to improve the art skills we already have.
Of course it's time to work on negative characteristics of Venus such as social pleasing.
We see how much love & beauty take place in our lives.
Do we lack of them or do we exaggerate in expressing them on the account of other things?
After answering this question we activate in accordance to it & continue doing so through the flow of life.
We check the balance in our life & improve ourselves in it when is needed & continue doing it all the time.
The more deep & thorough (Pluto's essence) we're in it, the better the results are going to be in it.

Ya'akov's day-the third day

The third day of the feast is known as the day that Ya'akov visits our booth.
Ya'akov represents the Sun which is our real inner self, our self actualization.
In this day we observe deeply the level of our self fulfillment.
Ya'akov is also the real ancestor of the Jews that have to be the light to the non-Jewish as the Sun enlights the solar system, this is apparently the connection between Ya'akov & the Sun.
We see where we need to improve ourselves in it & how.
We see how we're & what is needed to be changed.
It's also a chance to work on the negative sides of the sun such as the sensitivity to your ego.
In addition it's a chance to work on our relationship with our father (the Sun also represents the father) & of course the inner father (the father figure that's inside us).
This is also the day where we balance between Jupiter's essence of the first day & Saturn's essence of the second day.
indeed, Ya'akov does represent this balance & it can be seen even if we only look at his movements.
Unlike Abraham that walked all his life from place to place (Jupiter's expansion) & Yitzhak that stayed in his place even in the period of the hunger (Saturn's restriction), Ya'akov indeed balanced between the two (for example he moved (Jupiter) only when the reality forced him to (Saturn)).
We Balance between logic (Saturn's essence) & intuition (Jupiter's essence).
We deeply observe the level of both of them, we see where we're right or wrong following them (for instance guessing the character of a person standing next to us)to figure out where we stand in it& change what's needed to be changed.
In the end we reach the right balance between both that of course can be changed by the flow of life.
We do the same with the balance between realism & optimism.
We deeply observe our lives to see how realistic & optimistic we're.
We see where we failed & succeeded (in every area of life, from a simple test to earning millions in our business) & how optimistic & realistic we're during these events.
By doing that we change what is needed to be changed & reach the right balance between them & continue changing (if it's needed) through the flow of life.
We continue doing so with other characteristics of these two planets (the more the better).
We move between the expansions & credits of Jupiter & the restrictions & obligations of Saturn in order to reach our real self fulfillment.

Yitzhak's day-the second day

The second day of Hag Sukkot is known as the day that Yitzhak comes to visit our booth.
Yitzhak represents Saturn's essence (along with Mars, mostly the watery side of it).
Saturn represents seriousness,responsibility,logic,commitment,learning from the experience & above all restriction.
In this day we deeply observe in our life to see how responsible & seriuos we're about it.
We see where we should take responsibility but didn't.
We promise ourselves to be more responsible this year.
If we see that we're too much responsible in something (like being overprotective), we can always reduce that.
Of course we have to flow with life & change the level of responsibility according to it.
It's always good to observe life deeply to see the experiences we had & what we learned from them.
It's also always good to do so with all the characteristics of Saturn.
In addition it's a chance to work on the negative sides of Saturn such as toughness & pessimism.
After dealing with Saturn's essence it's going to be easier to deal with the watery side of Mars.
This is the time to deal with anger & it's rages (for example).

Abraham's day-the first day

This is the day that traditionally Abraham visits the booth.
Abraham represents Jupiter's essence (also Neptune's essence because the watery side of Jupiter controlled Pisces before the discovery of Neptune).
As known, Jupiter's essence characterizes in optimism,abundance,generosity,intuition,exaggeration,luck,success & above all is characterized in expansion.
In this day we observe how this essence affects our life.
We observe our life to see how optimistic we're in general.
We see where we missed being optimistic in order to improve ourselves in the future.
Of course if we come to a conclusion after a deep observation that we're too much optimistic, we restrict it.
We continue this process by letting the test of time (or the flow of life) help us figure out the right level of optimism we need that can be change in any point in our dynamic life).
We do the same with generosity.
We observe ourselves to see how generous we're (not necessarily financially).
We promise ourselves to improve ourselves in it in any case (enhancing if we find out a shortage & restricting any exaggeration in it).
Again, life always changes & therefore we have to pay attention to it & change the level of it if necessary.
By the way it's an opportunity to work on the negative sides of Jupiter such as exaggeration, hypocrisy & over-righteousness.
Of course we continue doing so with other characteristics of Jupiter (the more the better) to see mainly how can we expand our lives (in every possible area).
More than that, as this essence of Jupiter (including its watery essence) is the altruistic power of the universe it's very important to work on it (maybe because of that it's found in the first day of Hag Sukkot).

Hag Sukkot(1)

Hag Sukkot(Sukkot's feast-"חג סוכות") comes after Yom Kipur & is known as the end of the transformation's process.
Rosh Hashana is known as the beginning of this process when you first realize that your way of life needs a change(as seen Mars gives the drive to do this change).
Yom Kipur is known as the middle of this process when you start working on your Karma & cultivate the whole you(Pluto's essence is emphasized very strongly here & also Saturn's because you have to be very much responsible to this process).
The first letter of this feast is Samech ("ס") which traditionally represents the infinity(Pluto's essence) for having a shape of a circle(which regenerates itself constantly).
As being a closed letter (the circle is closed), it represents the closed or unrevealed (watery essence) side of it or actually of you.
Having help for the letter Vav ("ו") which comes after it & is known as a letter of connection, the essence of the letter Samech above gets contained by the letter Kaf ("כ").
The letter Kaf as seen in the previous post has Pluto's essence of containing everything.
Also as seen before, the letter Kaf is represented by the Sun which is the inner self that contains the whole you.
The entrance of the letter Samech's essence to the letter Kaf means that now you contain sides of yours that you didn't know of theirs existence.
More than that, the extrovert essence of the letter Kaf (the sun has an extrovert essence) helps the introvert essence of the letter Samech to express itself(also the letter Samech (despite having an introvert essence) represents the sign Sagittarius & therefore waits to expose itself).
Now all that was covered before become uncovered & you become fully aware of who you're & that's way it's the end of the transformation's process.
More than that, the cover of the booth is called "Schach" & is written "סכך" in order to show that God (represented by the regenerating infinity (also Pluto's essence) of the letter Samech) covers & protect you, the real inner you which is represented by the letter Kaf (the letter Samech traditionally also has a shape of a protecting wall).
The last letter in this word is Tav ("ת") which signs the end of this process (the word "tav" in Hebrew means a sign).
Also as being the last regular letter in the Hebrew's Alpha-Bet, this letter traditionally indicates a movement to other dimension, similar to the quantum jump of Uranus, that after it you truly become unique & authentic (exactly as its essence indicates).
As seen, this process starts with Mars & the new beginnings it initiates by its drive & will.
As seen in the post about Rosh hashana, this drive/will gets help from God itself(which his essence is expressed by the three Planets beyond Saturn's orbit) in order to implement the change/transformation.
Yom Kipur represents the peak of the process of the Change/transformation when you deal with your Karma (represented by Pluto & Saturn, this is also where Mars's drive/will slows down in order to contain these two essences).
Hag Sukot as seen now, it's the end of this process when you fully acquire Uranus's essence & truly become unique & authentic.
Uranus starts to express itself in this feast's custom of sitting in a temporary structure (booth-"sukka") which indicates the flow of life where everything changes & hence everything is actually temporary in oppose to the permanent house we live in.
More than that, the booth has simple things like paper's decorations inside so you realize that the real pleasure of this temporary life is found in the simple things of it.
This also helps your authenticity & uniqueness (represented by Uranus) grow.
In addition, we do some holes in the booth's cover in order to see the sky & through it to see the infinite(Pluto's essence) space (Uranus's essence).
In this case Pluto helps Uranus actualize itself to the fullest.
When Uranus's essence in you is fully actualized, it's more easy to gain Neptune's essence (that controls the last sign Pisces)which is the power of love & giving uniting the whole universe.
This is where the whole cycle (that started with Mars(that controls the first sign Aries) in Rosh Hashana) ends.
There's a custom in this feast of hosting one biblical personality each day of its seven days.
Together there are seven personality when each one represent a planet as we'll see in the next posts.

Yom Kipur

Yom Kipur ("יום כיפור") comes ten days after Rosh Hashana & it's known as the day of atonement.
If Rosh Hashana symbolizes a new beginnings (the first Hebrew letter Resh represents Mars,as shown in the previous post), Yom Kipur symbolizes the release from the Karma of the past.
Yom Kipur starts with the letter Kaf ("כ") which traditionally represents the sun.
The sun represents the inner self in astrology so the procedure of atonement must come from the deepest parts of the soul.
More than that, the shape of the letter Kaf traditionally looks like a bent stick which means that only modesty ("bent personality") can bind you to the sun's essence (the inner self).
In addition, the letter Kaf composes the word Kol ("כל") which means "everything".
The letter lamed ("ל") that comes after the letter Kaf is traditionally the letter of learning so learning the essence of the letter Kaf can develop the ability to contain everything(part of Pluto's essence).
Indeed, in the procedure of atonement you must contain the whole you.
You must have Pluto's essence, you have to be deep & thorough like it in order to contain the whole you.
Pluto is known as a Karmic planet so you have to have its essence in order to deal with your Karma & to release yourself of it.
The release from the Karma actualizes by the regeneration of the same Pluto.
The other letters Pe ("פ") & Resh ("ר") symbolizes the new beginnings(represented by Mars) that comes after the release from the Karma.
the letter Resh is more opened to the left than the letter Pe.
The fact that the less opened Pe comes before the more opened emphasize the gradation of this process (the hatch of the new beginnings opens itself gradually).
The process of atonement is gradual but not only because you must have Pluto's essence (depth & thoroughness in order to contain the whole you, as said above) but also because you have to develop Saturn's essence & to be responsible to who you're & what you do (it's known that Saturn develops everything gradually).
Saturn is also a Karmic planet & hence also emphasize the Karmic side of Yom Kipur.
Neptune which is also a Karmic planet takes place in Yom Kipur in general.
It helps you bind all the parts of your personality(which Pluto helps you to contain) & eventually helps you unite with the ultimate power of altruism which rules the whole universe (as much as a pride brings the egoism, the modesty (caused by this "bent personality") brings the alteruism & that's way Neptune takes place in this day in general).
Uranus also takes place in this day by making Yom Kipur a unique day which breaks the routine of fixed eating times & eventually helps to break your Karma in order to let your authenticity grow.

Rosh-Hashana

Rosh-Hashana is the first feast of the Jewish tradition.
As being the first one, it symbolizes new beginnings exactly as the sign Aries which is the first sign of the zodiac.
As symbolizing the end of the last year, together with what's said above,it expresses the Pluto's principle of regeneration.
Indeed, the Hebrew letters that compose this feast ("ראש השנה")  do express these principles.
the first letter which is Resh ("ר") is traditionally connected to new beginning as being in the first word in the bible ("ראשית"-reshit,the letter "ב"  that before it is a relative word that means "in" so it's not the letter that starts the word), which means beginning.
the word "Rosh" which start with this letter means head & hence also symbolizes (with a potential of containing & controlling it,after all the brain that control the whole body is found in the head) new beginning (exactly like a headline which is the first line of an article that actually contains & controls it).
More than that , if you switch the order of the letter "Resh" with the letter shin ("ש"), the word that is received is "she'erit" ("שארית") which means remain & hence this new word is connected to the end & this is where the principle of regeneration that is connected to Pluto is expressed(because it creates a bond between the beginning & the end).
It seems  that Mars actually actualizes itself here by implementing the principles of the letter Resh.
It starts with its drive in order to initiate a new beginning & ends with it's the highest point that it can achieve which is Pluto's essence of containing, controlling & of course regeneration.
It's known that Mars is connected to the basic instincts of survival as being connected to the base by representing the beginning.
It's also known that the regeneration is the ultimate survival!
Mars(or more correctly the person actualizing it's essence), which is represented by the letter Resh continues its journey to meet the letter Alef that comes after the letter Resh.
The letter Alef (as seen in the previous post) represents God.
God itself is represented by the principles of the three planets: Uranus, Neptune & Pluto which are beyond Saturn's orbit by being the unique (the one & the only) universal principle (represented by Uranus) of eternal & regenerating (represented by Pluto) giving (represented by Neptune).
It helps this person to reach the right way which is the altruism that based on this giving because the basic nature of Mars is the egoism.
When this person starts to go in this direction, he meets the letter Shin.
One of this letter's principle (as traditionally representing Pluto's essence) is the change (the word "change" in Hebrew is shinuy-"שינוי",which starts with this letter).
This change is the transformation of this person's soul & in other words it's the regeneration of the planet Pluto.

the other word-shana("שנה",which means "year".The "ה" which comes before the "ש" turns "a" to "the" & hence it's not part of the word), has both the letter "ש" which represent Pluto's essence & the letter "נ" which represents Scorpio's essence &hence emphasizes Pluto's essence of regeneration & transformation(Pluto controls Scorpio).
More that that, that year itself has the essence of Pluto as being a regenerating period of time, giving this process of self growth (from egoism(represented by the first sign,Aries to altruism(represented by the last sign,Pisces) to actualize itself in any point on it(when this process occurs inside the person's soul).

The letter Alef

The letter Alef("א") is traditionally connected to the planet Uranus(Uranus starts with the letter Alef in Hebrew).
The shape of this letter reminds a ladder where you climb & grow when Uranus also deals with growth(because of Uranus that controls the sigh Aquarius,the current age,we're aware of self-growth).
The letter Alef is also connected to wisdom(in the bible there is a sentance with a meaning:"I'll make you champion in wisdow"-"Ve'ealfecha chochma-ואאלפך חכמה"-where the letter Alef is dominant) & so is Uranus that represents the principles of the universe that help it to know everything because of its systematic vision.
The letter Alef is also connected to power(that connected to championship,where the letter Alef is dominant as mentioned above) when Uranus is known as a powerful planets that shocks & shakes in order to let the authenticity grow.
I think that this letter contains more than that because this letter is connected to God itself(the word "God" is:"אלוהים"-"Elohim" & it's the first word that starts with the letter Alef).
The letter Alef is connected to unity(unity in hebrew is:"achdut-אחדות" & it starts with the letter Alef) appearantly because of it's connection to God that mentioned above & unity is one of Neptune's principles.
The letter Alef is also connected to the infinity(infinity in hebrew is:"einsof-אינסוף" that starts with the letter Alef) because of its same connection to God & infinity is the essence of Pluto that contains everything.
The letter Alef is the first letter so it's connected to the beginning & the beginning is connected also to Pluto that goes deeply down to it.
The letter Alef is also connected to the end that symbolizes a new beginning because the letter Alef is connected to the number 1000(the number 1000 is "elef" & is written in Hebrew exactly as the letter itself is written. The value of the last suffix letter is 900 & in hebrew the group of the suffix letter is the last group where every consistent letter has it's value raised by 100) & the end that symbolizes a new beginning(regeneration) is  one of Pluto's famous principles.
