The Heavens Declared

The Sun is in Scorpio

TODAY the Sun is in Scorpio/Ophiuchus, the wounded warrior.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:19 

The Sun is the Messianic fulfillment of “The Light of the World.” Where it shines, it accentuates the constellation’s meaning of Messiah. TODAY the Sun is in Scorpio/Ophiuchus, the wounded warrior. Messiah’s word from the heavens TODAY is to be fearless. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. You were made by God to be a warrior and to rescue His people. Remember the power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you. Be bold and confront the devil. You are a winner.

Mercury is in Scorpio

TODAY Mercury, the Messianic messenger planet, is located in Scorpio/Ophiuchus, the sacrificial warrior image of Messiah.  Mercury always travels close to the Sun and its Hebrew name means the Sun’s messenger; therefore, it means the message of Messiah. TODAY be willing to be wounded and speak up for what is right. Don’t be afraid to confront issues.

Venus is in Sagittarius

TODAY Venus, the bright and morning star of Messiah’s passion and love, is in Sagittarius, the overcomer. Aside from the Sun and Moon, Venus (Hebrew Nogah for splendor and beauty) is the brightest light in the sky. It shows the love of Christ and where and how you should love. TODAY live as Messiah lives and walk in love, because love never fails. Be renewed in your love for the unloveable. Jesus is an overcomer. Don’t quit.

Mars is in Scorpio

TODAY Mars, the red planet of fervor and war, is located in Scorpio/Ophichius, the wounded warrior. Mars' Hebrew name is Madim, the Red One, and its Messianic message is the fervor and warfare of Messiah. Exodus 15:3 says the LORD is a man of war. TODAY Yeshua the warrior reminds us that today is the day to charge the enemy and do not fear. Winning often is measured by the scars of the skirmish. Be mighty TODAY for the Lord of hosts.

Jupiter is in Sagittarius

Jupiter, the king planet, is named Zedek in Hebrew and means righteous and powerful. It shows the leadership and power of Messiah. Jupiter stays in one constellation for almost a whole year so that we can get the message. TODAY Jupiter is residing in the constellation of Sagittarius, the overcoming horseman. This is reminding us to never quit and that success is one step past failure. Be an overcomer (Revelation 2 and 3).

Saturn is in Aquarius

The Hebrew name of Saturn comes from the same root as Sabbath and means resting. Saturn is the seventh planet from the Sun and accentuates the long lasting message of faithfulness and service because it rests in a constellation for approximately 2½ years. TODAY Saturn is resting in the constellation of Aquarius, the abundant giver. The message of Messiah out of the heavens is to give of yourself and your things freely. It is more blessed to give than to receive and this really shows the Christ-like attitude. Being a good steward does not mean being stingy.
