Luke 21:25 · World English Bible
Luke 21:25 Meaning There Will Be Signs in the Sun
There will be signs in the sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth anxiety of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the waves;
What does Luke 21:25 mean?
Sun, moon and stars are centers within the person, and the signs appear in them when the awakening disturbs the whole inner sky. The sun is the higher mind, the moon the reflected light of the lower emotional nature, and the stars the smaller powers that give a person their bearings, all thrown into strange signs as the old order breaks.

Sun, moon and stars are centers within the person, and the signs appear in them when the awakening disturbs the whole inner sky. The sun is the higher mind, the moon the reflected light of the lower emotional nature, and the stars the smaller powers that give a person their bearings, all thrown into strange signs as the old order breaks. On the earth of the body the nations of appetite fall into distress and perplexity, no longer sure of their rule. The sea and its roaring waves are the churning emotions and the restless subconscious, heaving as the deeper change rises from below. The whole disturbance across sun, moon, sea and earth is one event inside a person coming awake.
The sun: the higher mind, the solar center of understanding within a person. The moon: the reflected light of the lower emotional nature, borrowing its glow. The stars: the smaller inner powers by which a person takes their bearings. The sea and its roaring waves: the churning emotions and the restless subconscious heaving from below.

Live Luke 21:25 today
- When your mood turns heavy today for no clear reason, sit with it for two minutes without trying to fix it or trace it. Let it be weather passing through, and watch it from a little distance.
- If someone close to you is coming apart today, over work, health, money, do not rush to settle them down. Stay steady beside them and let the storm have its hour.
- In traffic or a long line today, when the irritation rises in your chest, put your attention on your breath for ten slow breaths. Feel the churn without feeding it a story.
When everything in me is roaring, what part of me is still able to watch it?
The same truth in other traditions
Taoism · Zhuangzi
The water that has stopped churning reflects everything clearly. Do not expect a true picture from a surface still heaving.
Buddhism
Feelings and moods rise and break like waves, and watching them without being pulled under is the whole skill. The storm is weather, not the sky.
Stoicism · Epictetus
When everything inside you is in uproar, remember that the disturbance is in your judgments, not in the events. That is the only place the roaring can be quieted.
