... Winds of change blow,
revealing circumstances and facades ...

We start this week, June 28th through July 4th, with issues from last week still on the negotiation table. The focus is to see the issues clearly and all the elements in their entirety so that resolutions are forthcoming. The walk around the issues on the table brings a thorough understanding of these aspects. Late Tuesday evening, hidden elements seem to come into visibility all by themselves as the winds of change begin to blow, and the facades are revealed. Early Wednesday Uranus turns retrograde at 26° Pisces, which also increases these changing winds. Uranus ushers in the start of the new month of July. As a NINE month, July opens the door for completions, conclusions and resolutions.

With this NINE month comes the opportunity to finalize many outstanding issues. Challenges and problems are moved out of the way to give us an entrance into more appropriate environments. July provides this transition time, which begins the first day of the month with Uranus turning retrograde. These mid-week winds blow many situations into the next phase as the stalemate of circumstances begins to break up and the changes push many obstacles out of the way. This also provides an in depth understanding of the long shadow of Pluto which has created many of these obstacles.

Sun opposition Pluto occurred on June 23rd shining the light on the shadow of control. On Saturday, July 4th, Mercury connects to Pluto to provide information about the obstacles that have been created by this long shadow. Mercury connecting to Pluto reveals the root of many obstacles that have been in this stalemate. The changes from this Mercury-Pluto aspect provide viewing of situations that have been at odds and resolve issues that have been in stalemate for quite sometime. Saturday's information blows in and reveals the true essence of the obstacles.

This information is brought to the foreground with the corresponding contracts, pacts, treaties and agreements, which becomes the focus of next week's Lunar Eclipse.

Welcome to the Summer of Love.

The heavens are conspiring to open the hearts of humanity, healing the wounds of many lifetimes. A massive clearing is under way as we cross the galactic thrshold into the next world age.


From the Summer Solstice and New Moon in Cancer last week through the triple-eclipse window in July and early August, this is the most astrologically potent summer I can remember. It's a precursor to what we'll experience next summer when the energies peak again with explosive grand square alignments.

Incoming cosmic frequencies are stepped up through this gateway. The dates and timings are detailed in the current issue of my newsletter:

http://www.StarPriestess.com/cosmic_time.html

Venus and Mars are dancing together in the morning sky. The historic triple conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron continues. Our Sun is aligned with the Great Star Sirius. And the next two full moons will be partially eclipsed by the Sun, bookends to the Total Solar Eclipse on July 22. The Solar Eclipse, which will be visible from various parts of Asia and felt around the world, is the astrological centerpiece of 2009. Add to this the Lammas cross-quarter gateway at the end of July, and we've got a recipe for explosive change.

Individually and collectively, how will we focus this energy? We live in the cusp period between world ages. Within this context, the summer of 2009 is an astrological high point, a turning point, a crossroads.

Depending on our level of awareness, this portal might open us to new heights of exhilaration or the depths of despair. Everything in between is possible, too. Jobs and relationships can end, and begin, suddenly. You might find yourself relocating, or at least traveling, unexpectedly. Watch for massive Earth changes and extreme weather and political-military escalation. These energies support quantum breakthroughs, spontaneous healings and expansion of consciousness. Sadly, many will resist. We're already seeing some people pop under the energetic intensity. Many will exit the Earth plane during this period, souls choosing to transition to spirit. This is a time of endings and big new beginnings. What's coming to completion for you? What's opening in your life?

Managing ourselves during this volatile period is elevated to an art form. Breathe. As simple as this sounds, it works. Pay attention to the breath. Inhale and exhale deeply, fully. Ground. Center. Meditate. Eclipses break up long-standing energy patterns. The center keeps shifting. Connect with Mother Earth and find your new center. Try yoga, tai chi or xi gong. Eat root vegetables and dark, leafy greens. Release the past, the pain, the addictions. Pray. Do ceremony, especially on key alignment dates. My work with individuals in my Astro-Shamanism pratice is especially potent during eclipse periods. Click here for details. Please be in touch if you'd like to schedule a personal session at this special time.

These practices and the larger astrological context are highlighted in my book, Cosmic Time. This is the most exciting time imaginable on planet Earth, a time of awakening, the flowering of love. The heavens support our evolutionary journey through the 2012 Gateway. Don't miss this cosmic opportunity.

July is universally a NINE* month (in numerology* terms) and begins to dim the lights in areas of our life that have now reached completion. The lights dimming also signal the situations that are finished serving a purpose in our life and are actually done with us. NINE is completion and it is also universal connections. The situations that are completed move into a time of dissipation, similar to a storm that has completed it downpour and has no further moisture left to oust.

We find that many situations end on their own accord and dissipate back to the people, places and things that prompted the situations to begin. The NINE brings the stage to a close, lights dimming and scenes becoming complete either on their own, or resolutions are brought to a grand finale.

The fact that July also has a Lunar and Solar Eclipse brings a great deal of interesting aspects onto the table. The Lunar Eclipse, bring forth an empowered Full Moon on July 7th, at 15° Cancer/15° Capricorn. These connecting points are mid-way in to the 30° degrees in each sign. Therefore, this Full Moon heightens the Cancer/Capricorn spectrum. Cancer brings an emotional intensity forward that is prompted by Capricorn being empowered by Pluto. This Full Moon instigates a high tide of events and intensity that has been spurred by the Mercury Pluto aspect on July 4th, highlighting the information that is now being revealed.

The Solar Eclipse in the late evening of July 21st is in the last degree of Cancer, bringing the emotional intensity to a point we have to take action and move our emotions into the bold sign of Leo on July 22nd as we begin our new spontaneous series of actions. We will feel as though we reach the "enough is enough" point and we grab up our arms and are ready for action.

On August 5th the powerful full moon/Lunar Eclipse occurs at 13° Leo/13° Aquarius. This provides the opportunity to take our powerful energy and put it into action. Leo provides the bold power and Aquarius provides the fairness/unfairness issue regarding humanity or the global issues that have sparked our passion. The series that is begins with the July 7th Lunar Eclipse will result in the Solar Eclipse on July 21st to be moved into the ONE* month (in numerology* terms) of August and the bold, courageous actions providing the powerful intensity of our energy turning into action.

NEW MOON IN CANCER 1.30 Degrees MATARIKI - MAORI NEW YEAR
JUNE 22nd/23rd NZ 7.34am JUNE 23rd AUST EST 5.34am GMT 7.34pm JUNE 22nd
and PERIGREE (moon closest to Earth) at 11pm NZ first light time

BLUE MOON; FIRST OF TWO NEW MOONS IN CANCER THE NEXT ON 22ND JULY TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

The New Moon is always the time to go within, to the inner planes and parts of us that are hidden, it is also the seed of the new beginning. The Moon and Sun are one at a New Moon so it is a powerful time of union on all levels and with the inner male and female also. In Cancer there is awareness of nurturing and holding dear to your heart yourself in all ways and so all others. Spend time on looking at ways to nurture yourself and your environment kindly and lovingly. Utilising your compassion and kindness for all in your life especially children, those less fortunate and animals, insects, birds, plants, all creation. Give yourself time to nurture you also and spend time going within in this New Moon to rest and revitalise, regroup and relax.

Pedigrees are times when there is a lot of pressure from the moon to the earth and earthquakes can occur at these times.

MAYAN CALENDAR DAY 22nd JUNE; 13 (unseen, unexpected change, transcend, presence) WHITE (North - refines, detached) WIND - IK (co-creator of reality, unseen forces, inspiration, presence) in the 10 (manifestation, true essence self, intention, motivation) UINAL (20 days) of Challenge ruled by the God of Darkness. TEZCATLIPOCA

MAYAN CALENDAR DAY 23rd JUNE; 1 (unity, unconditional love, new beginnings) BLUE (West - energise, transforms) HEARTH - AKBAL (stillness, inner-self, dreamtime, serenity) in the 10 (manifestation, true essence self, intention, motivation) UINAL (20 days) of Challenge ruled by the God of Darkness. TEZCATLIPOCA

A BLUE MOON is when the new or full moon is in the same astrological sign twice in a year, so the first one would be only at 0 - 2 degrees and the second moon at 28 - 30 degrees. The moon in the same sign twice then intensifies the energies so with this New Moon twice in Cancer we are given the opportunity to move into the next level of nurturing ourself and a new home and sense of self. Between now and the next New Moon in Cancer, July 22nd Solar Eclipse, love and accept all those fears that have kept you attached to the illusion. Make a list of them all then embrace them in love and acceptance with the breath, and golden light from the Source within you. Be open to a new way of creating and what your security really is. Is it on the outside or inside?

Alpha Life Trends

June 21st through June 27th

This week, June 21st through June 27th, we begin with Venus bringing resolutions onto the table and Mars activating the integration process. This Venus/Mars conjunction occurs at 15 Taurus, which gets the retro rockets activated to blast new focus and values into place. This event sets the pace on Sunday that moves our energies into new directions heralded into place by the New Moon on Monday. The New Moon is at the first few degrees of Cancer, opening up our emotional intensity that will begin to launch fireworks. Tuesday Sun opposition Pluto brings the spotlight onto many parts of our life that are being changed by Pluto's transformational energy. Sun spotlights the situations that are at odds with Pluto and require that something be adjusted to bring resolution and harmony. Wednesday we launch into being bold to have our strong energy shine the light onto the issues at hand. Thursday sparks many discussions and there are several people that will not want to participate in the discussions because it requires they stand up for who they are and what they believe. This makes people extremely uncomfortable. However, this issue is part of the series of events with Friday bringing more of the auditing energy to get situations turned around and back into the right direction.

June 28th through July 4th

This week, June 28th through July 4th, brings the spotlight back to issues that are springing into action with the intuitive sparks becoming a great fireworks display. The EIGHT month of June has brought forward many aspects that need to change. They have been pointed out in many ways and means. However there are many industries, people and government agencies that still continue in the old course. This week becomes an important bridge to move from a time of great activity to a time of great transition. Moving from June's fast-paced events to July's transformations become an adventure in itself. July begins with Uranus turning retrograde. This creates major changes in situations that shifts the blowing winds, coming from a new direction. This shift will gear us toward the new focus we will have regarding our new purpose that emerge as July unfolds. On Saturday, July 4th, Mercury opposes Pluto, similar to the Sun opposition Pluto on June 23rd. Mercury brings information that was spotlighted on June 23rd. This information reaches a major crescendo on July 4th. Mercury opens the floodgates and lets in all of the information that has been gathering through Pluto's magnetic collections. The information that reaches heightened intensity sparks the Lunar Eclipse on July 7th, the Solar Eclipse on July 21st followed by a second Lunar Eclipse on August 5th. These aspects provide very powerful events happening in the outside world that all of a sudden take over our attention.

The Galactic Times

Under the watchful eye of the ongoing Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune conjunction (and with all of those players now retrograding and Jupiter again closing the gap on Neptune exact again on July 9 and then Chiron precisely aligned part two on July 21), a plethora of short term, mega-potent galactic infusions lie just ahead. Following that, it will be true that you can fight City Hall... or take on the establishment with some chance of a successful outcome.

Over the next two days the Sun opposes the idea rendering, consciousness stimulating, progress inspiring Galactic Center. The collective consciousness is abuzz with new ideas and whomever extends their antenna or points their satellite dish into the galactic beam, gets the buzz first. Protect your intellectual property. There does seem to be a bit of proprietary rights consideration in the air. If you work for a corporate entity, you might want to review your agreement with the company regarding inventions, non-compete clauses, post employment restrictions and the like. If you have your idea protected, get ready. Focus the plan and think funding, monetizing and grants and proposals.

On Friday and Saturday both Mars and Venus come to stand opposite the potent midpoint of the Galactic and Super-Galactic Centers (Z/ZS - the degree is 14.5 Scorpio, but depends upon what and how one measures these broad centers). This cosmic intersection is nothing but alchemical and if alchemy is applied, the results can be magical. This midpoint knows all about your inner workings. In fact, the point places a perceptive finger on the pulse of your subconscious.

What the subconscious believes it can receive and accept, so follow the results of life. Should there be any psychic snags to life becoming massively magnificent, use the solar transit to the Galactic Center to download a progressive and innovative clearing technique. Extract and execute the process in a most expeditious manner. The potency of the weekend is not to be missed. Affirmations well applied - that is, those without double negatives or bet hedging mixed in - resonate in between the celestial hills building a standing wave of increasing and strengthening well being and improving mundaneness. Ask for whatever you need, if you believe a fortuitous outcome can actually come your way.

The standards for using the Z/ZS transit include:
No betting against yourself or the outcome you seek.

Affirm what you want, avoiding the convoluted ways of double negative hope building (i.e., I don't want it to rain for our solstice celebration).
Radiate richness of creative and spirit-filled resources.

As well as the alignments of Mars and Venus across the way from Z/ZS, Saturday also brings the solstice, a seasonal shift and an apex of light influence (maximum or minimum daylight, depending upon hemisphere). Come Sunday, the pairing of the personal planets of need/want and "get up and get it" form a well-greased trine to Saturn. With focused effort, determination and diligent pursuit, that Sisyphus-like boulder moves forward and upward, with no need to roll backward and squish hopes or effort.

Following the solstice, the Sun spends several days across the sky from one of the object-abundant, energy-rich spiral arms of the galaxy where Pluto now frolics in the fields of the heavens. Here we find a powerful collection of binary, x-ray eclipsing accretion pulsars. The distilled delineation is simple. It's about energy, not time. Do your best to abandon time lines.

Look within to locate all creative and energetic resources. Shift the energy surrounding stuck, stagnant, stale or delayed situations, then forget about the time line. There's a bit of "act as if" showing in this pattern. Hopefully, the Capricorn and Plutonian influences underscoring the trend prevent planting riser beams before the foundation is poured, solid and sealed. Still, you need to hold the energy of building the castle, empire or whatever, even before its form becomes clear.

There's a slight cooling for about a week. Then as June draws to a close and coming up to an exact alignment on the 28th, Ceres matches wits with Saturn in Virgo. This pattern demands justice and seeks to protect the underdog. Here, City Hall can be fought, if and only if the agenda of city hall fails to uphold rightness and the letter of the law. The twisting of legislative jargon and/or legalities unravels. On the global level, perhaps some resolution of the election comes in Iran.

Perhaps the talk between Palestine and Israel makes unprecedented progress. My biggest hope for this time is that international agreement on the matter or North Korea calms the situation. Kim Jong Il is being a typical Ceres archetype, "I don't care if I destroy the world . . . I'm going to get my way." As there was huge deference to Ceres in the mythology that saved the world, this pattern does offer a hopeful calming of the increasing ticking of the nuclear clock in that area of the world without sacrificing the good of the planet and its inhabitants.

Potentially another brilliant manifestation of this pattern would be increasingly restrictive legislation on frankenfoods - like genetically engineered corn and wheat. Also, expect to see more of the collective focus turning toward the critical issue of population, over population and the availability of global resources vs. people on the planet.

More on the personal front, you can battle those inane school rules, argue against double dip billing by the credit card companies, fight rising interest rates and render a viable, inspired solution to the city council, federal legislators and render a petition to the sky above regarding your on-track, on-purpose dharma driven aspirations.

However, subtle doesn't work. Be clear in what you require, what you render and about what you are able to receive.
This is a potent surge forward. Suck up the psyche to quell insecurity. Delete nagging doubt. Put your best effort out there, knowing that an idea whose time has come receives the energy and support required for its manifestation, miraculous or not.

Since subtle doesn't work for the patterns coming up, get into the store on this website (and other websites offering stuff and services that further your cause) and order up. If you need a consultation, get one while the getting's good. And as for the Galactic Trilogy and reports, there are only a few places where this kind of stuff exists. Use the links below:

Solstice Encounter

Solstice approaches, turning of the solar wheel. This year the June Solstice lines up intriguingly with the Cancer New Moon. A celestial gateway opens that will carry us through a miraculous eclipse series in July and August.

Sacred sites at Stonehenge in England, Chaco Canyon in North America, Machu Picchu in Peru and many others align with the Solstice, the portal created as the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. The ancients knew. Solstice is stillpoint, a special moment when creational energies are especially potent. At the Solstice, be still. Listen to the voice of the soul. Allow yourself to be guided lovingly on your journey as you attune to the Divine Essence that flows through all of Creation.

One of the cardinal points of the solar wheel, this special Sun-Earth alignment enhances our powers of manifestation. What we hold in our minds will be multiplied through this gateway. Prayer, ritual, feasts and celebration magnify healing vibrations around the planet.

Earth and Sun align in a culmination period that lasts several days. Honor the blossoming of your dreams and visions. Celebrate with your community. Enjoy the sights and sounds and scents of the season. Gift the Earth and all beings with prayers of gratitude and peace. Allow your divine, radiant, solar self to shine!

Eclipse Preview

Eclipses are special alignments of Sun, Moon and Earth that cause the face of the Sun, or Moon, to appear to darken for up to several hours. In ancient times, eclipses were seen as omens of impending catastrophe.

We understand today that eclipses do indeed signal change. As we learn to navigate the flow of constant, accelerating change through the 2012 portal, this becomes less frightening and more exciting for those on a conscious spiritual path. In general, the path of the eclipse (where it’s visible) will be the geographical areas where the most widespread and sudden changes will take place.

Eclipses happen in pairs or triads, approximately six months apart. The cycles are six months and 18.6 years. What's coming to completion, and beginning, in those time periods in your life?

The energies of the eclipses earlier this year - an Annular Solar Eclipse on January 26 and Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on February 9 - set the tone for the major eclipse series of the year: A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on July 7, Total Solar Eclipse on July 21/22, and another Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on August 5/6.

In Aquarius/Leo, the eclipses in January-February signaled a new beginning leading into the Aquarian Age. During July and August, there are three eclipses – two in Capricorn/Cancer and another in Aquarius/Leo. This series is designed to open the heart as we refine our values and priorities and more fully embody the Aquarian ideals of humanitarianism and service.

To see how the eclipses will look from areas of visibility, check out the intriguing animations at this link:
http://www.shadowandsubstance.com
You can read more specifics about the eclipses and their visibility at the NASA eclipse web site:
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html
Please note that solar eclipses are not safe to view with the naked eye. Special gear is needed to view or photograph all solar eclipses safely.

The Line-Up

Isis, Mary, Lakshmi, Tara, Kuan Yin gather 'round. Infuse our Earth-bound souls with peace, loving embrace. Divine birth, anticipation. Hope is your name. Infinite Goddess.

Just past the Solstice, the Sun-Moon conjunction in fertile Cancer nourishes the soul, opens the heart to love-wisdom streaming through the radiant gateway of the Sun's annual conjunction with Sirius.

What will we birth through this portal?

Summer Solstice - June 20/21 - 10:46 PM Pacific June 20; 1:46 AM Eastern June 21; 5:46 AM GMT June 21

Waves of creation crescendo towards shore as summer reaches its apex, day of greatest light in the Northern Hemisphere. For many, Solstice this year falls on the day we celebtrate our fathers. Masculine and feminine are balanced as the male solar energy gains greatest magnitude in the first feminine sign of the zodiac. It's Winter Solstice, longest night, below the equator. Solstice arrives when the Sun enters Cancer, sign of the Divine Mother. In the northern latitudes, hopes and dreams incubated at the Winter Solstice have ripened and bloomed, radiant in love.

We celebrate growth, the culmination of new possibilities. In the Southern Hemisphere, we enter the void, womb of creation, to seed a new vision.
New Moon in Cancer - June 22 - 12:35 PM Pacific; 3:35 PM Eastern; 7:35 PM GMT
This is an explosive New Moon with the Sun and Moon in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn. Also at this lunation, Mars and Venus are conjunct in Taurus at the exact degree of the Moon in the Harmonic Concordance eclipse alignment in November 2003.

Emotions touched off at that time are in play again now. Mars and Venus represent the masculine and feminine in a highly personal way. The two planets are engaged in an extended dance through late June. How are the god/goddess energies and roles playing out within you, and within your relationships, this summer? What are you giving birth to? Play in the quantum field, and create, with this New Moon.
Sun-Sirius Conjunction - early July

Each year at this time, our Sun aligns with the magnificent blue star Sirius, creating an initiation portal linked to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the Egyptian goddess Isis and the all-seeing, all-knowing Eye of Cosmic Wisdom. The rising of Sirius with the Sun near the June Solstice marks the beginning of the Egyptian New Year and heralds the annual flooding of the Nile, replenishing the physical and spiritual fertility of the motherland. The brightest star in our sky, Sirius streams the cosmic frequencies of Love-Wisdom to Earth. As Sothis, she catalyzes the purification of ego so we may more fully embody Divine Essence.

Full Moon in Capricorn-Cancer - July 7 (Lunar Eclipse) - 2:21 AM Pacific; 5:21 AM Eastern; 9:21 AM GMT

This special Full Moon alignment purifies the emotional body in preparation for a gigantic new beginning at the Total Solar Eclipse on July 21/22. We learn to transcend the physical world as we explore the dimensions of divine love that give rise to it. The beginning of this penumbral eclipse will be visible in eastern Indonesia, eastern Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, South America, Central America and North America. The end of the eclipse will be visible in Asia, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, South America, Central America and North America.

Jupiter conjunct Neptune (exact) - July 10

The conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron is an important celestial feature of 2009, and a highlight of the astrological gateway carrying us through the end of the Mayan calendar and beyond. I've written about this in my book, Cosmic Time, and in my 2009-2012 Astro Preview report. Throughout the summer, the alignment of these heavenly beings in the late degress of Aquarius brings hope and healing through spiritual forces. This formation continues, to varying degrees, through July (and beyond, if you consider a more generous orb). Notice messages in dreams and meditation, the flow of energy and your travels between realms. What do you dream of healing within your life and your world? Focus these energies in a positive way.

Healing of perceived differences is highlighted - from race, gender and age to culture, religion, politics and socio-economic status. Harmony, equality and cooperation thrive in the next world age.

Here's a brilliant expression of the Aquarian energies engaged in this alignment. No explanation needed. Enjoy.

New Moon in Cancer (Solar Eclipse) - July 21/22 - 7:35 PM Pacific July 21; 10:35 PM Eastern July 21; 2:35 AM GMT July 22

This Total Solar Eclipse will be visible in parts of India, Nepal, China and the Pacific Ocean. A partial eclipse will be visible in a broader path of the Moon covering most of southeast Asia and northeastern Oceania. The path of totality cuts through the homelands of some of the most ancient and relevant spiritual teachings on Earth, including Hinduism, the Vedas, Taosim, and the I Ching. Tibetan Buddhism is rooted in Hinduism. Watch for the essence of these traditions to enter mainstream conscious awareness. The only total eclipse of the year happens in Cancer, the sign that most fully embodies the energy of Divine Mother, and continues as the Sun enters Leo. This will be a moment of intense transformation for humanity, an invitation to open to the embrace of the cosmos at this critical time in Earth’s history.

Full Moon in Aquarius-Leo (Lunar Eclipse) – August 5-6, 2009 - 5:55 PM Pacific August 5; 8:55 PM Eastern August 5; 12:55 AM GMT August 6

The spiritual energy awakened by the July eclipses is given focus in the sign of Aquarius. The beginning of this penumbral eclipse will be visible in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Russia, Asia, South America and Antarctica. The end will be visible in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, South America, North America and Antarctica.

You can read more specifics about the eclipses at the NASA eclipse web site:
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html

In my 2009-2012 Astro Preview, we explore the significance of the historic Harmonic Concordance alignment, the 2009 eclipses, and many others, within the context of the Turning of the Ages.

Alpha Life Trends:

... Full Moon shines the light onto new information moving into our environment ...

We start this week, June 7th through June 13th, with the Full Moon at 17° Gemini/17° Sagittarius emphasizing the alignment of thoughts and action. Gemini provides the information that Sagittarius connects with on a philosophical level to create our rightful path. This issue is important at the current time because a new pathway is becoming visible. Situations that have been evolving are now beginning to become visible as new and different options emerge.

Mid-day on Monday the focus pinpoints issues dealing with contracts, pacts, treaties and agreements. This negotiation process occurs through Wednesday as many issues and adjustments are being considered, to align our inner and outer perspectives.

Thursday many discussions become activated and animate many important issues that will be brought onto the table for discussion. There are many high-level emotions that will push us into trying to find a stable component to these adjustments that are the focus of discussion. Situations begin to shift as key component issues are discussed.

Saturday Mercury moves out of Taurus and into Gemini, to return to the Gemini energy of change, breakthrough and freedom that was reached at the end of April right before Mercury turned direct. Many situations that were poised to move forward at the end of April have had quite the detour to get to move into a round about way of getting to a new environment. This "long-way around" became the events of Mercury's retrograde all through May. However, once Mercury moves into Gemini again, many of the same situations come to the same point of change, breakthrough and freedom.

Options and opportunities expand and move us into similar places we were before Mercury retrograde, and now we are poised to move our life into yet another direction right before Jupiter turns retrograde. These new options provide an open door to view opportunities that are now possible. Standing on the precipice of change, we make choices and determine our new direction, many of which are pinpointed by the Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron conjunction.

Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron Conjunction

philip sedgwick

In the past few days Mercury resumed direct motion (thanks to all who wrote to report I had that bassackwards in the last Galactic Times), Neptune and Chiron stationed retreating into retrograde and soon - June 15th - Jupiter commences a back track over previously taken steps. Given that communication matters resume a sense of normalcy and those misunderstood quotes, comments and suggestions clear, the opportunistic Jupiter encourages a review of all the visions, dreams and inspirations Neptune seeks to invoke.

A simple review of all those projects fired up late last year and early this year goes a long way to ensure that this year, nearly half complete and notwithstanding the economic crisis, actually amounts to something. Of course, with Venus lingering in the last few degrees of Aries, the urge to push to cash out an idea contradicts the need to review and reflect. What if a few simple reflective steps assure a more potent outcome a little further down the road? Would that work?

Sure it’s a mixed bag. Some ideas need a nudge to see if the last little snag might clear and afford some short term progress. However, those really big passion projects that represent a major outpouring of one’s soul undoubtedly benefit from the review protocol. A review is not to be confused with changing courses or altering agendas midstream, with or without a horse. It’s a matter of including all the current feedback and recent inspirations occurring after the commencement of presenting an idea that have not been effectively added and making sure you still burn to do this inspiration thing. Nor is this to be confused with the ongoing addendum syndrome. You know, when a software person for instance, keeps coming up with one more thing to add on that prevents the software from a timely release and annoys Saturn well beyond his sensibilities.

The Jupiter-Neptune retrogradation suggests that you take a break from creating new projects and review projects started in the past several months - within say the last nine months. Certainly this does not suggest a prohibition on new concepts. If a great idea comes along your way and you develop and seed it, that’s fabulous. It’s just that with Mars now in Taurus and Venus on his heels coming up to an opposition on the manifestation magic of the intersection of the Galactic and Super-Galactic Centers (Z/ZS), which occurs on the eve of the Solstice, completion and fullness of accomplishment feed the soul. A sense of incompleteness or the inability to close any deal or call any project satisfactorily completed damages the perceptions of planets in Taurus. This fine earth sign, where Sedna also travels, loves to see tangible results. Add Sedna’s prioritization of basic life necessities, providence, enduring talent and creativity that find a way to support necessities and providence, and you have a result-rich consciousness.

True, when one reviews, reflects, redesigns and retrofits, immediate results do not occur. However, important inspirations that receive a make over such that they do manifest in their fullest and most potent forms appease completion sensibilities and establish confidence in one’s ability to endure, persevere and complete. Starting off on a series of tangential distractions that seem like a good patch and do not get done because the interest wave wanes quickly, works against a personal sense of accomplishment. The Taurus trend prevailing as this reflection cycle begins suggests understanding the big picture, going long in planning. The trend maintains no tolerance for false starts, wayward efforts and a lack of emotional commitment - the kind one feels in the bones - for real world efforts and activities.

Perhaps a few guidelines can assist any deal making, production planning, job taking scenarios in the short term

Accept no deal not worth it, despite the economy. If you cannot energetically and enthusiastically invest in an assigned task, verify you are not operating at a realm lower than your minimum standards of fair compensation. To stay productive and inspired, resentment cannot encroach on the creative spirt. Resentment commonly occurs with under compensation - a direct link to personally feeling undervalued on the talent and personal attribute level.

Given the collective poverty consciousness in the material world, there’s no sense in inflaming poverty consciousness of the psyche. Use the high road mantra of Taurus that realizes that personal abilities, skill sets and talents never deplete unless ignored or unapplied. Thus, one constantly possesses inner resources which can produce outer resources.

Believe that by the time the last Jupiter-Neptune alignment forms in early December the collective fears of economic woe will have evaporated and been replaced by refreshing showers of enthusiasm, creativity and innovation.

Clear your life of as many petty, annoying distractions as you can. Apply for the passport in plenty of time. Remember to check that funky noise under the car. Fill out the necessary paperwork for green-life style tax credits. Once clear, address minor distractions as quickly as possible - at least on a daily basis.

Figure out your most creative, inspired time of the day. Savor this time. Protect it. Allow no encroachments on the window in which your system reaches innovation overdrive. Use it. Use it each and every day; this way you appease the discipline god, Saturn, who loves to color in the bits of progress on life’s task completion charts.

The alignment of Venus and Mars in Taurus on the 20th is worth noting. It would be as if there’s a free turn for incantation, proclamation, declaration, affirmation and the like. To utilize this alchemically rich influence, speak only in positive, inclusive terms. Avoid double negatives, betting against oneself and hedging bets. Once done with invocation, celebrate. It’s time to be included in the celestial celebration of these bodies and to invoke the solstice with full gusto. Gusto it is.

Should you be in need of some consultation support, go for it. If you need a session and need to make a payment arrangement, please e-mail.

For those who might need a nudge on purchasing the Galactic Trilogy CD, I have one. While packing for the recent Norwac conference, I found two audio lecture series. One is two talks on Eris on a single CD with relevant charts; the other a workshop entitled Navigating the Underworld. The first two orders for the Galactic Trilogy receive one of these free. First come, first pick.

Of course, personal and relationship reports and other goodies are available in my website’s store. Links below.

And there’s an updated blog on the Matrix site. This one addresses a hatchet job essay on Sedna that seems to be web-circulating more widely than it deserves.

More next week...

By Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

You are in a time and place of birthing yourself into a higher octave of light. As you sit in the womb of No-time, you feel limited. In this limitedness you try to stretch, but the walls of illusion, and the walls of earthly limitation seem to keep you confined. You are not able to stretch into the vastness you innately know yourself to be.

When a child is in the mothers womb, the child’s spirit has the ability to reach out past the limitations of the womb. Skirting about in the parent’s everyday lives. Reaching into the past, and future, overcoming space and time. Your life is similar to that of the unborn child. You feel limitations, as if the very walls of your life grow steeper and steeper each time you try to scale them. You grunt, you groan, you complain as the limitations become more and more animated. You have the same abilities and capabilities as the unborn child. You are living in this 3rd dimension and yet you are also living in spirit. Your body seems limited and vulnerable, yet the spirit that inhabits that vehicle has magnificent and untapped abilities.

It is this part of the Earthly gestation period that Earth as a planet, and you as a people are entering into. It is a time where the limited perception of your humanness merges with the vast and all-knowing Soul and Spirit. Coming together Merging and then Emerging. Right now you feel like a caterpillar, in a cocoon stage of consciousness. You know that you are destined to become more, Yet Everything In Your World Points To Less Than!! You feel deep within your being that if you tried, you could fly. Then you take another look at yourself and see only the reflection of density, and human limitation.

The Chrysalis/Cocoon around you thickens and hardens as the holographic crust of earth. Keeping you confined in a prison of your own thinking and making. There seems no way out! Then one day a small light appears coming from a hole within this holographic cocoon, and your heart races with possibilities. The holographic illusion of limitation begins to crumble right in front of your eyes. You all are just now seeing that small point of light. Showing you the way out, the way up and the way home. The caterpillar looks at itself and says “how am I going to get through that small opening’? How can I CAN FLY I don’t have wings, I am just a caterpillar!

The caterpillar must walk into a time of SURRENDERING! Surrendering his limitations, and surrendering to the divine spark within him. Surrendering to an understanding, a truth that he has never experienced in this consciousness. Surrendering is accepting in the process, it is trusting! It is internally knowing what is truth, when everything else reflects and mirrors limitations. The hole is small only in the mind of the caterpillar, not in the mind of God. In the mind of God it is large enough to accommodate all the future butterflies of earth.

It is a time of surrendering to what you know to be truth. Even though it cannot be proven, or confirmed, pointed out, documented, charted or recorded in history. Surrender and trust your process. The butterfly that you are inside this human caterpillar, inside of this earthly cocoon is far greater than any illusion. Let go and know that the divine plan will work through you no matter what. The caterpillar is destined to become a butterfly!

The cocoon would never ever allow the caterpillar to be released, because that is what a cocoon does. It limits, it protects, it keeps bound. Earth keeps you as a cocoon until you are ready to set yourself free. The caterpillar knows that it must try, and try again, or it will die. That is the point of reference that each and everyone of you sit at. You feel you must try, or perish in the process.

Your Soul pushes you through that tiny hole into a Higher Light, just like the caterpillar is pushed by instinct. You push back, saying ‘ No, I can’t fit, No I can’t jump, No, I can’t fly, NO I CAN’T !’ Spirit says, “ you must, or you will perish, as will all life.” Earth is at a portal of choice, there will be a decision made by the mass consciousness. All of God’s creations sit upon this fence of decision. All of life is “in decision”.

FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS 17.03 degrees
JUNE 7th/8th NZ 8.11am AUST EST 6.11am GMT 8.11pm 7th

This is usually the third powerful Full Moon in the year after the Wesak Full Moon but we have effectively had two Wesak Full Moons this year. This is the Full Moon of Goodwill for all humanity. The Full Moon is a time of completion and celebration, and when the Sun and the Moon are opposite. The Full Moon in Sagittarius is a time of focusing on the spiritual aspects and higher learning and wisdom, coupled with the fact of it being the Goodwill Full Moon we can focus on seeing/knowing all humanity in a state of peace, divinity and wisdom within themselves and all beings. The Sagittarius/Gemini polarity is also a very out there type of energy so a good time to be with others and have fun. Something we are learning now is that to be spiritual does not mean to be serious, but rather to express our joy, the energies of the full moon can enhance this. So rather than getting caught up in what's wrong and thinking it needs to be fixed, which is an illusion, as all is already whole and divine, rather see the joy and love in all beings and start to play more.

DL Zeta

Today and over the next five days, there is a unique opportunity to join with other souls to anchor greater light to the earth plane and make it available for all of humanity. As the Gemini full moon approaches, many souls are joining together in the that will help disseminate the transformative energies coalesced during the powerful Wesak full moon in early May.

Preparing your Consciousness

Over the next two days, you can prepare yourself to anchor these energies and make them bioavailable to all who seek to access them. To prepare your consciousness, affirm you are releasing all negativity. Affirm all that has ever happened and all that will ever happen radiates love and spiritual perfection. When you have stepped free of any densities and judgments that bind you to the physical plane, further detach by moving beyond any limiting identities you may hold. See yourself as an infinite and expanded being that carries the codes for uniting Heaven and Earth. See your body filling with light as you become a vessel for the energies of love flooding the Earth plane. Join in consciousness with all people of goodwill on the planet.

Reprogramming Your DNA

On Sunday, during the Festival of Goodwill, enter a time of complete inner peace and silence. Reach up to contact the energies and allow them to flow into your consciousness. Open to the dreams, visions and peak states these energies offer. Allow these energies to filter into every level of your being. See them entering the cells of your body and reprogramming the codes in your DNA. This new coding brings you into stronger alignment with your higher self and allows you to more easily download healing and spiritual guidance.

The two days following the full moon are a timeframe in which you filter these spiritual energies through your intentions of goodwill and radiate them out to the places where they are able to do the most good.

Stepping into the Next Phase of Your Spiritual Mission

This is a powerful time. You have just experienced the apex of the spiritual year when the Wesak full moon brought an influx of revitalizing and regenerative energies to the Earth plane. This energy was further amplified by the shifts in consciousness now taking place, and facilitated by the potent cosmic conjunction of Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron. Now you're able to take a step further and serve humanity during this time by opening to receive the energies gathered and focused during Wesak and throughout the month of May, and making them bioavailable to all on the Earth plane who wish to access them. As you anchor and distribute these energies, you're able to step into the next phase of your spiritual mission. As you radiate these energies for the highest good of all, the identities you currently hold are transformed, expanded, and filled with light.

Identity Shifts and Designing Your Realities

In coming days and weeks, you will see yourself in a new way. As you go through your days, you will observe changes in your vision and preferences. These are signposts of the changes taking place within you. These changes you observe in yourself reflect the energy shifts on the Earth plane and the New Time that is now being seeded. You are now able to come into resonance with your future self, which is able to guide you through this time of transition on planet Earth. You will be able to open to the message of your sacred wound and learn its wisdom. This will allow you to step off the karmic wheel and begin designing your realities in the shape of your deepest dreams.

JUNE 5th STAR ALIGNMENT OF ACHERNAR IN ERIDANUS

A star alignment is when the star or star constellation in question is aligned back into the earth plane in harmony with us. The Ancients knew the importance of the Star Alignments; as above, so below,and star-mapped the Earth by building conduits to anchor the energy with pyramids, standing stones, stone circles, temples and oblique's that held and aligned the particular stellar energies with the Central Sun in the core of the Earth, the Earth, and Heavens as harmony and abundance reigned.

When we choose to go deeper into density and with the end of the last Golden Age and the Earth shifted then the star alignments also went out of synch. The stars have also moved since that time and so now with the return of the Golden Age, the star alignments are now happening again, anchoring that energy onto the earth plane and core of the Earth.

Achernar is the brightest star in the constellation of Eridanus - the river, Achernar being the end of the river. The river represents our journey through of our spiritual growth, like the kundalini flow from the star Cursa where the beginning of the river starts. Cursa is under the foot of Orion, Cursa is where we unify coming from Orion where we learned about light and dark and the Belt of Orion being the gateway into oneness. As the energy moves from the foot of Orion at Cursa, up the river to Achernar at the top as we flow in the divine water of the universal flow, we go through many initiations, such as the Ancients Egyptians were aware. With the initiations in the temples of the chakras along the Nile until we reach the crown of the river and the cosmic flow illuminates out the crown to settle at the doorway of the heart.

At Achernar we find the source of the river and source of ourself. The star essence of Cursa made on the Second Gate through the doorway of Orion in 1993 ‘I am the unified expression of the one, no duality”.

This star alignment of Achernar is now aligning with Earth and the star map grounded once more, its energies aligned on July 14th 2006 and we are now getting a higher frequency download of the same energies as they have had three years of integration ready for this next level. This star alignment is happening within us and our central channel is clear enough for the light to flow to the attunement of our divine self. You may wish to spend some time today being aware of the flow of light in your central channel and if there are any blocks to deep breath love and acceptance into it until its light. Do not make your kundalini move this is dangerous; just love the fears that maybe still blocking it from flowing freely.

Please see my book Light Code Activation for more details and also see my book EGYPT AND IMMORTALITY, JOURNEY TO SOURCE for meditation of the temple up the Nile working with the Chakras.

The Star essence of Achernar being "I am attunement to your god-self, I am the music of your soul that flows eternal".

If you feel guided from within, wherever you maybe on the planet you can choose yourself to be an anchor of this energy for not only yourself, but humanity, by allowing it to flow through the vessel of divine light and clarity you are and into the Earth. Please make sure you are connected to Source first through the Sun, Central Sun and Greater Central Sun, your Heart and Sun in your Heart and Sun in the core of the Earth and back again in Golden Light from your intention.

In mediation you may want to connect to Cursa and flow with the river of your chakras to the Crown and then Cosmic Gateway to Achernar. Go within the star Archernar and become one with it. As you connect to the source within you, the divinity and beauty that sings from your soul through the Earth and Universe.

JUNE 10th INNER EARTH DOORWAY OPENING

The Inner Earth has twenty five dimensions that in each exists kingdoms of life and creation. They are vibrating at higher frequencies of Light and humanity is now unified to the point where the fifth dimension is what the third was once and our bodies are fifth dimensional, if not unified in the light matrix fully to the seventh dimension. This means we can access more easily the other worlds in the Earth and we all have multi-dimensional aspects that live in the inner worlds of Earth. As the veils clear away and we become multi-dimensional we are more open to connecting to the other dimensional worlds that exist in the Earth. Many of the beings who live there have lived on the surface in ancient civilisations such as MU.

When the Earth has shifted at other times they have moved beyond the third density and inhabit higher dimensional, beautiful worlds within the Earth. There are places on the Earth that are doorways to the Inner Earth, some famous ones being Mt. Shasta in California, Courthouse Rock at Sedona, Arizona, the North Pole which was even filmed by Admiral Bryd after the Second World War. The beings from the Inner Earth are so joyful that the Second Sun is now here as a sign of the great shift in cycle and Golden Age. On this day as you sit in your sacred space connect to the Earthsun Body through the Sun and Inner Earth Sun within you first and through the Galactic Centre Crossover point then journey into the Inner Earth.

If you would like to connect and journey into the Inner Earth then it is not so much a matter of going somewhere physically but going within.

Connect through Source, the Greater Central Sun, Central Sun, Sun, Second Sun, the Sun within your Heart, the Sun within the centre of the Earth as the Golden Light flows through your heart from Source to Earth and back again......Become aware that you are in a sacred space, a clear crystal, sacred geometry structure that is multi-prismed and illuminates radiant light and loving energy......Surrender into this powerful force field and allow yourself to vibrate with this energy, as you do it becomes higher and higher in frequency...... until you merge with the crystalline light becoming one matrix of light......Open the new light matrix....allow the resonance of the crystalline light matrix to pulse through you and the Earth...........As a doorway opens that takes you now into the Inner Earth to meet your self there in that dimension and the beautiful beings that live there......
Be open to whatever you see, sense, feel or know deep within you........

Also be open to any messages, or ask any questions you choose. What is your role with the Inner Earth and the beings there?....How does it relate to the change in cycle?......What does it mean now that the doorway is open from the Inner Earth and Galactic Centre?....As you allow yourself to be one with the Inner Earth and Inner Earth Sun..

On the Leo Full Moon January 2002, the October Aries Full Moon 2006 and then on the Capricorn Full Moon July 2007 and the Gemini Full Moon December 2004 and 2008 the Inner Earth beings have created a dimensional doorway that connects through the Galactic Centre and transmits the light codes from the Inner Earth to the New Earth and doorway of the new worlds, that resonate with their higher dimensional worlds. This doorway was functioning until the end of the last cycle and there were many sacred temples with stones imprinted with this to align these energies and for ease of travel through the Galaxy, and to and from the stars in our Milky Way. The energies became discordant once the Earth shifted its axis and now with the shift in consciousness that has taken place in recent times the Earth has shifted back into alignment. This day reminds us that we are the bridge and anchor point between the inner and outer worlds.

We are connecting more to the Inner Earth Sun; as the Two Suns merge in us, the Sun of the outer Earth and Sun of the Inner Earth we merge through the Galactic Centre. On my page for the Galactic Centre is an exercise with the two Suns merging within you. The Inner Earth Sun in the Soulight Chakra and the Sun in your Heart as they merge to create the Earthsun Body and your move through the Galactic Centre cross over point, into the stillness where all is manifest. Once in this state you are operating from the New Earth, Higher Dimensional Earth and so everything is so much easier, flowing and joyful in your life from the stillness within you co-create Heaven on Earth. Please see my HANDBOOK OF RA

JUNE 16th NATURAL KINGDOM DOORWAYS TO THE HIGHER DIMENSIONAL EARTH

We have the opportunity to open up our awareness to the Earth and Sky, the four winds and the four directions that move us into the center, the elements and the trees, plants, birds, reptiles and animals, insects and bids. Each is a powerful being that holds codes and shows us the way to access our hidden qualities as we open more to the oneness of all life. Spend some time today with an animal, tree, rock, the earth, bird and let them show you something hidden in you that is a strength you have. Allow them to take you beyond the veil and into the light matrix of all life and light, where they know the door and can assist you to move through with peace and openness in your heart.

It is only through co-operation with the Natural Kingdoms that we can bring balance back to the Earth, and our environment that supports our life, well being and abundance. The fact that so many animals, birds, trees, fish, insects are becoming extinct is not something to be sad about though, they are changing form just as we are and moving into higher dimensions, non-physical. It does not mean they are dead, nothing dies it simply changes form and while this exchange is happening we are also gaining new life as the changes occur and our DNA awakens to our Light just as the Natural Kingdom does, we are all one.

Be aware also of the Elementals in your area and if they feel distressed in any way from human intervention, if so ask them what they need to bring balance and peace back into their world and ours. Trust what they say and allow. You can work with them to assist the Earth and animals, plants, waterways, oceans, air and soil to be replenished and re-vitalised, purified and transformed.

For example I personally speak to the Devas of the animals and plants where I live as to what I can do to help clear and transmute the area of the chemicals and poisons that are constantly being sprayed in the agricultural and horticultural area I live in.

You can talk to the Devas of the Crystals to help with your unification and awakening, in my book Crystals Gateways of Light and Unity each Deva or Guardian of the Crystals speaks of its qualaties and activations to assist. The essences I have made are by communicating to the flowers, leaves, gems, crystals and stars. The Devas wish to share with you in the beauty of the nature and all its gifts, in all dimensions. Be open to their presence for a rewarding, wonderful journey into wholeness, and being the co-creator you are with all beings.

The plants in our gardens and environment also want to communicate with you as they receive the Ra Light direct and the new light codes, we can learn a lot from them. If you wish to be open to them and the light they are sharing as we become aware of the grids and networks of light that flow through us, nature and all creation.

AND AWARENESS OF THE SPHINXES

Just before and at the Solstice the energies are anchoring more fully with the Golden Solar Disc and also the Inner Earth doorway and the Sphinx connection which is reawakening now as we come to the opposite side of the cycle. At the age of Leo with the Sphinx and the energy of our ancestors the Cat Tribe from Sirius is remembered and completed as we now move into the Aquarian energies opposite.

There were many Sphinxes built at the time of the one at Giza, and part of the star map that aligns the energies as the Celestial Sun makes a new turn of the Solar Clock and things change in their frequency and energy. The Sphinxes are all connecting and hold keys for the transition period we are now entering. On the New Moon in Virgo 31st August 2008 the Sphinxes were connected through an ancient grid network that the Cat People left on Earth. This is not the Solar or Light Grids but a sacred geometric matrix of Light that sustains life and allows the abundance of the Light to illuminate all life, in abundance of life giving energy.

The Sphinxes are holding the Light and Solar RA Light codes that are sustaining life and the transition to the higher frequency octaves of Light within our human physical bodies”. Put here to return order and unity to the lower worlds. Energy for the Earth that was grounded through the Sphinx at the time of Leo is coming back out of the Earth now through the Sphinxes worldwide.

On this day take yourself to a sacred place and connect into the Sphinx. You may want to do the meditation from the page on Sphinxes, and be with the one in Giza. Or you may know of one at a location near you, or connect with it on the inner planes. Be open to what is occurring with the cyclic shift as you go deeper into the peace within and allow yourself to be the beam holding the energies within you. As we make this great leap now into the higher dimensional worlds of our ancestors and higher dimensional aspects in oneness.

Polaris is marking the North Celestial Pole and will be closest to it in 2100AD, then it will start to move away. It is sighted on this day before the Sun and is opposite the Galactic Centre so good opportunity to go within, to the Source within you. Into the stillness and silence and to be open to inner guidance. For those who are conscious of moving through dimensional worlds a doorway is open to move through the Source point of the prism and into what you are Co-creating.

THE SOLSTICE
WINTER SOLSTICE - SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE
SUN INTO CANCER JUNE 21st NZ 5.45pm AUST EST 3.45pm

The Winter Solstice is when the Sun again turns Northward in the Southern Hemisphere, after having reached its furthermost southern declination. At the Winter Solstice the Divine Light reaches the inner most centre of the globe, there it remains for four days, impregnating the Earth with its Life. It is the birth of the Sun, and creates a new growth cycle, the Earth and all beings are made ready for a fresh beginning. It is a time when a great amount of Cosmic energy is given too us to heighten our vibrations and expand our awareness, through the new Sun. Each year the energy is increased as we awaken and attain our fulfilment. The Sun is within our heart and so our Solar Self is Divine Love. At the Summer Solstice we started our inner journey and purification, now we are completing and ready to step into the new and heightened frequencies through the Sun, Central Sun, and Greater Central Sun as all the cycles are now merging in alignment of the Suns. As we ourselves step into the Golden Cycle by being our Solar Self.

SUMMER SOLSTICE - NORTHERN HEMISPHERE
SUN INTO CANCER JUNE 21st 5.45am GMT

The Summer Solstice is when the life force and creativity of nature climax. What budded in youth has now blossomed into maturity, nature attains its peak of perfection, the transformation has been accomplished. The Solar Rays are at their peak, the Light that permeated the core of the Earth at the Winter Solstice is now radiating fully through the Earth and through all of nature. The Summer Solstice is a time when the Light has been brought back from the core of the Earth and all is illuminated, a celebration of life and the bounty, grace and abundance that is given to us from the Sun.

This Solstice be open to the joy of the Solar Rays illuminating from the Sun as the doorway was opened at the June Solstice in 2001 and now it is time to move fu lly into the level of your divinity at the level of the Sun, your unified aspects in the heightened love of yourself as a Co-Creator. Become aware of what you are creating as a Solar unified being. (We are not looking at the Sun as male or female, as there is no duality, male and female are one). So if you still feel you have issues with your Inner Male and Female now is a golden opportunity to marry them and then take yourself on a journey into the Sun. If you still have difficulty with this then look at what is going on in your charkas, as the kundalini is able to rise through you as you become clear. This is good time to start clearing and transmuting all the blocks that may still be held in the Chakras.

At the Solstice the energies are anchoring more fully with the Golden Solar Disc and also the Inner Earth doorway and the Sphinx connection which is reawakening now as we come to the opposite side of the cycle. Leo was held with the Sphinx and that energy of our ancestors the Cat Tribe is remembered and completed as we now move into the Aquarian energies opposite.

The Sphinxes are holding the Light and Solar RA Light codes that are sustaining life and the transition to the higher frequency octaves of Light within our human physical bodies”.

On this day take yourself to a sacred place or where ever you can and connect to the Suns at the time of the Solstice which is sunrise in the northern hemisphere on 21st as well as sunset and midnight on the 20th and noon on the 21st June.
In the Southern Hemisphere sunrise, noon and sunset and midnight on the 21st June.
Be open to what is occurring with the cyclic shift as you go deeper into the peace within and allow yourself to be the beam holding the energies within you. As we make this great leap now into the higher dimensional worlds of our ancestors and higher dimensional aspects in oneness. Be open to yourself as a golden being in the Council of Light and as an anchor and vessel for the union of Heaven and Earth. One with the Inner Earth Sun, Sun, Central and Second Suns, Greater Central Sun.

BLUE MOON; FIRST OF TWO NEW MOONS IN CANCER THE NEXT ON 22ND JULY TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE

The New Moon is always the time to go within, to the inner planes and parts of us that are hidden, it is also the seed of the new beginning. The Moon and Sun are one at a New Moon so it is a powerful time of union on all levels and with the inner male and female also. In Cancer there is awareness of nurturing and holding dear to your heart yourself in all ways and so all others. Spend time on looking at ways to nurture yourself and your environment kindly and lovingly. Utilising your compassion and kindness for all in your life especially children, those less fortunate and animals, insects, birds, plants, all creation. Give yourself time to nurture you also and spend time going within in this New Moon to rest and revitalise, regroup and relax.

Pedigrees are times when there is a lot of pressure from the moon to the earth and earthquakes can occur at these times.

A BLUE MOON is when the new or full moon is in the same astrological sign twice in a year, so the first one would be only at 0 - 2 degrees and the second moon at 28 - 30 degrees. The moon in the same sign twice then intensifies the energies so with this New Moon twice in Cancer we are given the opportunity to move into the next level of nurturing ourself and a new home and sense of self. Between now and the next New Moon in Cancer, July 22nd Solar Eclipse, love and accept all those fears that have kept you attached to the illusion. Make a list of them all then embrace them in love and acceptance with the breath, and golden light from the Source within you. Be open to a new way of creating and what your security really is. Is it on the outside or inside?

FROM NOW UNTIL AUGUST 6TH FULL MOON WE HAVE TWO NEW MOONS IN CANCER, THE BLUE FULL MOON IS ALSO A TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE 22ND JULY
AND WE HAVE TWO LUNAR ECLIPSES ONE 7TH JULY FULL MOON CAPRICORN AND THE BLUE NEW MOON SECOND MOON IN CANCER TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE AND THEN THE SECOND LUNAR ECLIPSE 6TH AUGUST FULL MOON AQUARIUS.

We are given a Gateway of opportunity to transcend our attachments to matter, our ego and old ways of operating and move into the new Light way, from the heart, following ones joy, co-creating Heaven on Earth. These Blue Moons and Eclipses open the doorway of our hearts as the Councils of Light, light being and unified aspects of our multi-dimensional selves are able to step in more fully and assist in the transformation of our world.

Inside you, encoded in your DNA, sleeps the dream of the future. Many of you have been awakening to this vision as its stirs more strongly within you during this powerful time. You agreed to awaken and join together at this time to bring the Earth to the tipping point into the New Time. In this time, the healing energies of the Divine Feminine bring about many transformations.

Today and over the next few days, the powerful Wesak Moon amps up and magnifies energies on the Earth plane, allowing many to experience new levels of awakening. The heart of this dream lives in Earth's near future. The powerful energy of this future time radiates in all directions, past and future. The present moment is “lifted up” in resonance with the New Time through the strong energies of the Wesak moon. These energies are further amplified as many beings join together in consciousness to anchor energies radiating from future to present.

During this powerful time, you will glimpse moments past and future, as well as moments existing parallel to your present focus. These moments exist in your field of possibilities.

You may glimpse old situations from your past with sudden pulses of insight as they are released from cellular memory; you may glimpse parallel realities you can choose to shift your focus toward; you may glimpse realities unfolding within the scope of Earth's future history. You may glimpse past lifetimes that help you understand the full scope of your abilities. You may glimpse future lifetimes to help you better understand the significance of events unfolding within your present moment. Your dreams may carry you to locations in the universe you have never imagined, giving you a taste of unfolding probabilities.

Releasing Resistance

Many people now are feeling pressured and "under the gun", so to speak. The degree of pressure felt is equal to the degree of resistance. If you are feeling pressured - if you feel the heat turning up - enter a meditative place and ask for assistance in letting go of all that needs to be released at this time. Ask to be shown any areas of resistance you may hold. Hold these areas in consciousness while relaxing and breathing deeply. In this relaxed state, allow downloads to flow into your consciousness. Request love, healing and understanding. Open to receive this energy. Allow it to pour into every cell of your being. In the weeks and months to come, you will bring forth with right timing images, information, and knowing - whatever is needed to help you more fully embrace the new version of yourself now crystallizing in your future.

Think of this time as a “software upgrade.” This upgrade in vision and guidance will allow you to navigate the new energies with greater ease and confidence. It will allow you to become the version of your self that is able to navigate the transformative times ahead. Those who maintain old versions of their "navigational software" will experience many challenges and glitches as the old ways become less effective in navigating the new energies unfolding now.

During coming times, you will experience numerous opportunities to step into the next level of your spiritual journey. In the next few days, align with the Wesak energies by stating the intention that you are open, willing and able to embrace all that lives in your field of possibilities. Enter a place of love and allowing, as you will observe many situations unraveling around you. You will observe at times painful moments unfolding. Stand strong in your highest vision. Bless all that appears before you. Bless all that you see. In this way, you will help anchor the energies of the New Earth.

Imagine watching the Full Moon rise over the frosty peaks of the Himalayas as you join with others gathered high in a mountain valley to receive the frequencies of enlightened consciousness streaming to Earth. Or joining with others in temples around the world to pray and meditate for the benefit of all beings.

The Wesak Moon rises this Friday evening, the most spiritually potent full moon of the year. In Buddhism, the holy day of Wesak celebrates the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha. Millions around the world observe this sacred alignment with special prayers and meditation.

In 1966, the Lama Govinda poetically described the scene:

"On this night a wondrous sight is seen by those who are present. The Full Moon rises like a fiery dome over the icy crests of Mount Kailash ... Heaven and Earth are connected ... projecting a flood of light into the world of man. The Enlightened Ones and their retinue are believed to descend on the rays of the moon ... to bless the faithful by their luminous presence. It is like a rite of transcendental communion ... a truly universal Mass ..."
Wesak is sacred communion. In the milky glow of the Wesak Moon, we grow in consciousness, grow in love. The lotus blooms within the heart of humanity.

In esoteric teachings, Wesak is a focal point for the ascended realms and incarnated initiates to join in communion, linking Heaven and Earth for the benefit of all beings. Enter the temple of Shambala, meeting point of Heaven and Earth, for guidance, initiation, enlightenment.

Timing and Ritual

The Moon swells to full at 9:01 PM Pacific Friday, May 8 (12:01 AM Eastern Saturday, May 9) Observance is appropriate throughout the period leading up to and just after the Full Moon as the spiritual energy culminates, then disseminates, through the lunar portal. This is an ideal time for prayer and meditation in service to the collective.

In Scorpio, the Moon ushers us throught the portal of death and rebirth, transforming us at the deepest levels as we release the past. Jupiter, the guide and teacher, is aligned with spiritual Neptune and healing Chiron. Hearts are opened and healed under this influence, our souls laid bare. We re-emerge cloaked in the gowns of spiritual awareness.

Please consider joining with those around the world who will be anchoring higher-dimensional frequencies for Earth's ascension on this most powerful lunation. The following web page has excellent suggestions for observing Wesak including preparation, a Wesak legend visualization, meditation and rituals:

May 6 - Mercury turns retrograde - 2° Gemini (back to 22° Taurus)

Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and decisions about our issues and adjust our new direction as we move into 2009. The adjustments of Mercury retrograde typically occur three times a year (four in 2009) and become similar to a course correction during the flight from one destination to another. The adjustments that occur during Mercury retrograde typically have a theme that occurs all year long, shown by the elements of the signs affected. In 2009 the adjustments that are slated to occur during the retrogrades begin in air signs and return back to earth signs. Thus these Mercury retrogrades take our ideas, decisions and attitudes about specific events and utilize the information to put new processes, contracts,and the like into place.

Mercury retrogrades have a cycle** in which the retrogrades have an exactness of covering the same signs, the same degrees and approximately on the same calendar days. This exactness is seldom thought about Mercury retrograde, with the seemingly chaotic and confusing situations we experience during the retrogrades. The exact Mercury retrogrades we will experience in 2009 were the exact same signs, same degrees and approximately the same calendar days of 1930. This cycle** is seldom talked about in the astrology world, but is the cause of major course corrections for humanity. We can look back at history of 1930 to see the impact of Mercury retrogrades covering the same time frames, the same signs and the same degrees. We are coming to an important time as was experienced in 1930. For instance, the President of the U.S. in 1930 was Herbert Hoover, who had a birthday of August 10th, and the U.S. President in 2009 is Barack Obama, born August 4th, both having Sun in Leo. Few people are old enough to recount the transition of that time, but it becomes history repeating itself to give us a chance to grow as humanity, as a society and to make a difference. The Planet of Mars follows this same cycle and the sequence of Mars retrogrades are similar as well. Mercury rules ideas and attitudes and Mars brings these ideas and attitudes into action. The phrase "thoughts become things" certainly brings home the combined energy of these two planetary connections. With 2009 being an ELEVEN year (in numerology - more see below), Mars retrograde in Leo at the end of 2009 opens the door for visionary leadership to bring forward a higher level of opportunities.

The purpose of Mercury retrograde is to review and revise our life and our connection with reality. The timing of this universe is geared toward the Sun as it moves through the zodiac. Mercury has an orbit that at times gets ahead of the Sun allowing us to look into the future toward new and innovative ideas. However, we cannot continue in that vein until we come back to the present designated by the Sun and put our new ideas into manifestation. During the time that Mercury jumps ahead, we ultimately have to bring the ideas back into the present to test and evaluate to see how they fit into our life. As Mercury retrogrades back into the present, the connection with the Sun happens as we test drive our ideas and re-align with reality and the natural timing of the universe.

The Mercury retrogrades that are occurring in 2009 provide the opportunities for us to make mental adjustments about decisions we have as our goals, aspirations that are our focus during the ELEVEN year of 2009. Because we are making decisions to bring forward the visionary awareness into our new journey, new endeavors, new goals, the events during the Mercury retrograde time frames help us to veer away from the past and take bold steps into our new future. . These adjustments will be very necessary as they allow us to make major changes, emphasizing our bold and innovative choices. The ELEVEN year brings forward the opportunity to utilize the "master" qualities from a Divine perspective of leadership, visionary purpose, and Divine intent. The ELEVEN reduces to the TWO (1+1=2) which provides the basic energy for the year of relating to people, places and things. However, with the opportunities available to bring forward the Divine path available for those AWARE of the ELEVEN, the journey through 2009 provides a pathway lit by Divine opportunities.

Mercury Retrogrades for 2009

In 2009, Mercury retrogrades four times, starting the retrograde in air signs then going back into earth signs. The change in mental attitudes, information and perceptions are going to go back to review the earth aspects, which means that we will be changing and adjusting our thinking and re-organizing an important area of our life. Because 2009 is universally an ELEVEN / TWO year (in numerology), this Mercury retrograde process becomes important in the major adjustments as we move into relationships and shifting our journey with others coming and others going. Partnerships in different areas of our lives become the theme and the area of adjustments all the way through 2009. Important to our new journey are those that share a common path, we can walk along the road together toward specific goals, accomplishments and purpose. Mercury retrograde provides the opportunity to adjust our thoughts, attitudes and communications about our direction. The adjustments that are slated to occur in 2009 are in air signs and then changing to only earth signs; Aquarius/Capricorn (in Jan/Feb), Gemini/Taurus (in May), and Libra/Virgo (in Sept), At the end of 2009 with Mercury retrograde occurs from December 26th through January 15th and is completely in the earth sign of Capricorn. This transitions into the remaining retrogrades of 2010 to impact only the earth signs of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

The same signs, the same degrees and the approximate same calendar days occurred in 1930, as Mercury retrogrades have a cycle**. We often think of Mercury retrograde as random, chaotic and confusing. However, there is an exactness with these Mercury retrogrades, repeating the same signs, degrees and calendar days every cycle. The; other planets are in their own cycle and orbit, but the similarity with history repeating itself, gives humanity a chance to repeat the same mistakes or to revise the course corrections as an improvement along the way. Looking back at the four Mercury retrogrades of 1930 allows us to see the events that are now cycliing back around to experience, change and improve. Through this "exactness" of the Mercury retrograde cycle, we can see the cosmic course correction opportunity.

The fact that the retrogrades impact both air and earth signs of the zodiac focuses on the outer world and accomplishments, but also in the air sign issues of mental attributes, attitudes and information. The fact is that these areas of Career, Money and Health are changing as we retrograde back to deal with specific earth issues. Our attitude toward Career, Money and Health are very important and very key to the retrograde phases of 2009. Our thoughts, attitudes and communications are changing and we are adjusting the focus in our life about these areas, to bring important building blocks to the earth signs, and our mental attitude surrounding these building blocks may adjust the approach and people that we talk with about these areas. The energy that we share with others will impact our relationships and the different people we align with create different scenarios as we move forward. We can begin to see how we share our ideas with others and that during a Mercury retrograde, and especially in 2009, we will be adjusting specific aspects of our life and adjusting our thoughts, attitudes and communication about the specific areas of career, money and health.

The Mercury retrogrades occurring this year provide the opportunities for us to bring forward new and different ideas and talk with others that are also interested in pursuing these new directions. With 2009 being am ELEVEN / TWO year, we can bet that the mercury retrogrades will have a huge impact on our ideas, communication and the relationships we have been building. A whole new innovative movement will occur, turning our world into a new and different direction. Our thoughts, ideas and relationships are geared toward the Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron issues of Humanity. Inventions, innovative designs and major idea changes will come about to make major adjustments during this time. The changes, revisions and adjustments that occur during these Mercury retrograde time frames will have a major impact in events of humanity, relationships with others as strong, inventions and bold new ideas are being born.

Because Mercury itself rules the AIR sign of Gemini and the analytical part of Virgo, we will be adjust everything related to thoughts, concepts, ideas, and communication. When Mercury retrogrades, we find that many parts of our life are being revised. Often these revisions can be a surprise or throw us back a step. However, these revisions which occur during a Mercury retrograde, are a "course correction" and provide a stop gap measure until we can review situations. During this time of revision, change is compounded and confusion is created by our reactions to the ever-changing situations. Thus anything started during this time will ultimately be taken back or even revised further, making for a high-frustration time. This will be especially true with changing our minds, reviewing new ideas and our communication being improved and honed so not to be mis-understood.

The best mode to be in during a Mercury retrograde is one of "non-reaction", and with air signs being impacts, things will be changing continually during a Mercury retrograde Treat the time period as a time of gathering information, yet because the information will be in constant change it would be like trying to comb your hair in a wind storm. Best to wait until the changes stop before attempting to make things orderly. Therefore, just let the winds of situations blow around you without reacting. Once Mercury turns direct, take a look at the information that is still around at that time and go about putting everything in order, while maintaining the fine art of flexibility.
