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.
