Celestial Timings
by Cayelin K Castell
The Earth is Already Saved
It’s already happened….
Its already here…
Open your eyes to behold
Open your hearts to behold
Open your minds to behold
Leave behind the concept
so long lodged in the human mind
that there is a someone
or a something to save
The Earth, my dear ones,
is already saved
The kingdoms, my dear ones,
are already saved
~ Galactic Shamanism the Star-Stone Ones by Mary Saint-Marie/Sheoekah

A Personal Sharing about the July Timings
Magic Happens again and again and again. In early June when I was starting to write the July Celestial Timings I was looking for a something on my book shelf and this tiny little book tucked between two bigger books found its way into my hands. This little book came to me in 2008 as a gift from Nicole Christine, a beloved friend, sacred sister and mentor since 1995...
...I feel Nicole guided this book into my hands and has guided me to find the perfect passages to share throughout the July Timings. The rhythm of the words and images capture the essence of the archetypal energies and the planetary alignments. My hope is that what I have shared here from Mary Saint-Marie is as inspiring and activating for you as it has been to me. You can find more info here
...Therefore, I dedicate the July Celestial Timings to our continued collective awakening and the piece we each bring to fulfill our part of the divine unfolding. And I intend that what is written here assists everyone who reads it in remembering all that is theirs to remember, embracing what is theirs to embrace, in landing their vision, and in living their divine design in ways that co-creatively construct a New Earth fulfilled in Love and Joy, Brilliant Bliss, and Gratitude for all that is! And so it IS!
July 2010 Celestial Timinga (all times PDT unless otherwise mentioned and all aspects have at least a three day window starting before and after the exact event...many last much longer)
July 01, Thursday. July begins with the Sun (10 Cancer), South Node (12 Cancer) and Mercury (14 Cancer) all in close zodiacal alignment with the fixed star Sirius, the brightest fixed star in our night sky. Sirius and Mercury are not visible due to their close proximity to the Sun. However, the energy of Sirius is being illuminated by the Sun and messenger Mercury now in its pyschopomp (or initiatory guide) phase is in direct communication with this star. The South Node of the Moon passes by this area of the sky every 19 years and acts as a bridge to the ancient knowing that supports our collective progress in fulfilling our divine destiny.
This is a sky map of Mercury and Sun to the left of Sirius in the lower right hand corner...
The Sun reaches 14 Cancer (the same degree as Sirius) on July 5 this year and Sirius reaches 10 degrees beyond the Sun on July 17 the number of degrees usually needed for a star to become visible before Sunrise. This is referred to as the heliacal rise. However, due to the declination of Sirius with the Sun it is not truly visible for most places on Earth until August. For example on the west coast of the USA Sirius is not visible before the Sun until August 7. (See July 3, 4 and 5)
In one of the 37 Maxims of Ptahotep the message of Sirius is to
’Follow the Heart for as long as you live’, for the physical heart retains the greatest sensitivity to the harmonizing, archetypal forces of Sirius. The heart is our "listening place" for the Sirian/Isian messages of Eternal Love, Knowledge, and Understanding. http://www.siriusrising.com/myth.htm
Star Map for July 1 evening sky just after dark
July 02, Friday. The Sun conjuncts the South Node exact tomorrow at 12 Cancer. Plus the asteroid Juno will be at 14 Cancer zodiacally conjunct Sirius and Mercury will be at 18 Cancer. The spotlight is on Sirius a well known star often referred to as the Dog Star, because it is the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major, the Big Dog, and has been linked with the term known as the “dog days” of summer. The following story from India is linked with the importance of the Dog Star and following ones heart.
In India, Sirius is known as Svana, the faithful dog of Prince Yudhistira. The story is that the prince, along with his dog, Svana and his four brothers set out on a long and arduous journey to find the kingdom of heaven. One by one the brothers abandoned the search for heaven. It came to be that Yudhistira and Svana continued the search and at long last arrived at the gates of heaven.
The gatekeeper, Lord Indra, welcomed the prince but denied Svana entrance. Yudhistira was aghast and told Lord Indra that he could not forsake his good and faithful servant and friend. His brothers, Yudhistira told the Lord, had abandoned the journey to heaven. But the faithful dog Svana, who had given his heart freely, chose to follow none but Yudhistira. The prince told the Lord that without his dog, he would forsake even heaven. This is what Lord Indra had wanted to hear, and then he welcomed both the prince and the dog through the gates of heaven. Story can be found here and here
Many ancient cultures have viewed Sirius as a dog or wolf. For example, the ancient Chinese saw this star as a heavenly wolf. In Sumeria, Babylonia and Chaldea (present day Iraq) the star was known as the "Dog Star that Leads," or it was called the "Star of the Dog." In Assyria, the "Dog of the Sun." In still older Akkadia, it was the "Dog Star of the Sun." Tuning into Dog and Wolf medicine for guidance and support may be especially helpful over the next few weeks as we enter the Dog Days of Summer… ~http://www.constellationsofwords.com/stars/Sirius.html
Skipping ahead a few days here is a bit about the Eclipse with more on July 11 Timings...
July 10, Saturday. Venus is 1 degree NNE of Regulus (29 Leo 59) in the evening sky, and moves into the sign of Virgo at 4:31 am PDT and opposes Chiron at 0 Virgo 21 at 12:04 pm. Additionally the Moon reaches the Galactic Cross and Solstice point of 0 Cancer at 4:38 am further invigorating the Grand Cross of the Cardinal Signs (or seasons) on the Galactic Cross of our Galaxy as we enter into the Total Solar Eclipse window that is exact tomorrow.
In 2012 the sign of Virgo moves to overlay the heart of the Lion for the first time in nearly 26,000 years. The divine feminine principle expressing through the Virgo archetype is remembering the highest and best expression of the High Priestess who knows how to live in reverence and honor for the Earth and all who live here. She knows how to express through living ceremony. Mary Saint–Marie/Sheokah shares an experience that confirmed for her the importance of living ceremony…
The Gift of Ceremony
…Coming down from the ceiling in golden letters in a vertical line, were the words Gift of Ceremony. I knew immediately what it meant, for I had been creating ceremony all my life. Life for me was more like temple tending. And I was now doing ceremony sessions with many people, helping them see the celebration of each moment in the Land of Now. With the glowing vertical column of those three words, Gift of Ceremony, I knew that the Presence of the ONE was translating to me the message that I carried the Gift of Ceremony and that I was to help reveal to others who had not yet awakened to it, that they, too, carry the Gift of Ceremony. All carry the Gift of Ceremony. Not all remember…
…Living Ceremony of the Soul. That is Love. That is Love expressed. That is Living Ceremony of Spirit. That is Galactic Shamanism. That is the Holy Marriage.
Image above reminds me of the feeling of ceremony when we are invoking love...this image is from Kathy Rose

Why Celestial Timings?
Ancient Cultures left monumental records in stone pyramids, stone circles, stone temples, 
petroglyph sites and other impressive structures that remind us of the importance of our connection to the Celestial Realms. Highly trained priests and priestesses and/or shamans were the Sky Watchers. It was their job to watch the movement of the planets and stars assisting the people in maintaining a ceremonial sacred balance with the natural order of life.
The Celestial Timings are a modern day version of this ancient practice offering a daily connection to the Great Above reminding us that we inform the mysteries as much as they inform us. When we connect either visually or through our thoughts and awareness to these mysteries we are engaging an ancient practice that benefits us personally as well as the entire collective at this critical 26,000 year Turning of the Ages.
