We know that the months from Pesach until Rosh Hashanah—that is, from Nissan (Aries) to Tishrei (Libra)—are called the male months, and they are the time of seeding. All the things that we do, all the things that we create in our life in the six months between Aries and Libra, are answered for or manifested in the birth of the world that happens at Rosh Hashanah. These six months, then, can be considered the gestation period.
The female months, or the manifestation period, starts with the month of Tishrei. This is why the part of the Torah that we read at Pesach, we also read during Sukkot because it contains the same kind of transformational energy as we move from male to female months and female to male months. One group is the seed and the other group is the seed’s manifestation.
When we align ourselves with that Light of sharing during Sukkot, with words of Light and actions of kindness and care, we can allow the seeds we planted for our lives to begin to flourish not only in these special days but for the year to come.
