Testimonial Receivied June 2
Hi Cayelin,   I just wanted to thank you for the potency of the latest timings  (this month's and last month's). I am almost stunned with joy over  the revelations. On a daily basis, it's often hard to see that any  progress or change is happening. But your words help to bring the  foundation (or lack of foundation) together in my mind. My tears over  the present day worldwide events turn into calm when I realize that 
it is simply change happening at a very quick pace. Your words help  my own acceptance of these circumstances. Thank you for being a  constant voice and vehicle in the movement of this new energy. It  really assists in sustaining my own beliefs.  Love, Mariana Simpson Here are more Celestial Timings Testimonials

THE GRANDMOTHERS' MANIFESTO Grandmothers and Ambassadors in Dharamsala
We are the Grandmothers, the Keepers of the Creator's Highest Law, which is the Law of Good Relationship. We are the elder women of all cultures. Some of us have borne children, some have served the world in other ways. Having already brought forth and nurtured the younger ones and the dreams of our youth, we now hold our blood and, in so doing, carry the Wisdom of the Ages within our wombs.

WE, THE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF THIRTEEN INDIGENOUS GRANDMOTHERS, represent a global alliance of prayer, education and healing for our Mother Earth, all Her inhabitants, all the children, and for the next seven generations to come. We are deeply concerned with the unprecedented destruction of our Mother Earth and the destruction of indigenous ways of life. We believe the teachings of our ancestors will light our way through an uncertain future. We look to further our vision through the realization of projects that protect our diverse cultures: lands, medicines, language and ceremonial ways of prayer and through projects that educate and nurture our children. (See July 2, 3, 6, 8, 15, 18, 19, 21, 26, and 29 for more of this Manifesto) http://www.awakenedwoman.com/grandmothers_manifesto.htm

Inspired by the Cancer New Moon and the Capricorn Full Moon along with many other intriguing Celestial Events, this month the Celestial Timings are dedicated to honoring and acknowledging the gifts of wisdom, insight, inspiration and hope coming to us from the Council of Grandmothers. Also in this month’s Celestial Timings I have shared further information about the Iroquois Confederacy, their role in helping to inspire our United States Constitution and how the most important feature, the Circle of Grandmothers was left out. I also share the rest of the Grandmother’s Manifesto as declared by the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers in October of 2004. This highly inspired Council has been traveling the world raising awareness with their wisdom and love and a documentary is almost ready for release. For more information see the links below.

Notes about connecting with the Celestial Timings.

The most important way to connect with these Celestial Timings is through Intuitive Feeling. It is not essential or even that important to understand the technical aspects of these events. It is more important to tune in for your own sense and connection with what is taking place in the Great Above. It is likely you will notice very specific correlations in your own So Below personal experience. Often these events feel validating and help you to know you are on track and in synch with the unfolding mysteries.

In our current culture we are programmed to operate from a more linear, left brain, logical and rational perspective. Letting go of that program and allowing yourself to be in the place of beginner’s mind or a place of innocence and awareness of these Celestial Events is a more authentic and genuine way to approach these mysteries. This is not about creating specific predictions or having to be or act in any particular way. Rather when we open our minds and our awareness to the greater cosmos we open to the greater possibilities that are there for us to choose from.

Interestingly, I get a lot of feedback from Celestial Timings subscribers who have been reading the Celestial Timings for many years. A large number of them are not astrologer’s and do not have technical astrology experience. The feedback often describes experiences that go beyond the logical and rational understanding of the astrological mysteries. And, many have also said they have learned a great deal about how it all works because I do include the technical information as it helps to name and call forth the energies as well as helps those who know how to apply this information to their own charts.

Again, more important than understanding the details and specifics of so many amazing events in a mental way is to take time to listen and get your own guidance and sense of what these Times are about for you. There are many ways to access and express these mysteries that are all equally valid, so it is up to each of us to find the ways that works best for us. What I am sharing with the Celestial Timings, or what others are sharing through their channeling and personal insights, can be a useful, helpful place to inspire your our own awareness and personal relationship with the incoming energies.

It is helpful to remember the mind can’t know it all and it is easy to get distracted by too much information. That is why I feel guided to continue to write a shorter daily offering that is intended to provide a portal or access point into the rhythmic unfolding of events designed to inspire personal connection with the unfolding mysteries.

Additionally, there are so many profound Celestial Events taking place these days it is challenging for any one person to give them all proper voice. All of us are being called to be a part of this great unfolding by what we say and do. Everyone is needed at this time to act and speak in the ways that help to create the new reality. As we heal our wounds and make healthier choices we not only find greater joy but we also add that greater joy to the collective vibration.

The events taking place in the Great Above help to inform us about what is taking place in the Great Below and the events in the Great Below helps us to understand how the events in the Great Above are manifesting. When we remember we inform the mysteries as much as they inform us then we also remember it is helpful to know what these events are so we can more consciously participate in informing the unfolding mysteries through our intention and attention.

Definitions
Apogee is when the Moon is furthest away from Earth in its Lunar Cycle
Perigee is when the Moon is closest to the Earth in its Lunar Cycle
Syzygy generally refers New and Full Moon times when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned. Although a syzygy also is applied to the alignment of three planetary bodies. A syzygy occurs whenever an observer on one of the three objects (in our case the Earth) sees two other objects either in opposition (when they are 180 degrees apart) or in conjunction (when they are together). The most dramatic expression of a syzgy occurs when we have a Solar and Lunar eclipse.
Occultations are a type of eclipse that occur during syzygy when from the Earth we see the Moon passing in front of a planet. A Moon occultation of a star by the Moon does not qualify as syzygy, since the star is far beyond the limits of the solar system.
Star Magnitudes describes how bright a star looks from Earth. Magnitude (or visibility) lessens as the number increases. For example, a first magnitude star is one hundred times brighter than a sixth magnitude star and a sixth magnitude star is barely visible to the naked eye. Venus can reach as high as -4.6 magnitude the very brightest planet or star in our night sky. The Full Moon is -12 magnitude and the Sun is a -27 magnitude. Sirius is the brightest fixed star in our sky and is visually rated as a -1.42 magnitude.

Minor meteor showers and early Persied activity are fun to observe throughout July. July 27 is the Pisces Austinids (meteors originate near Fomalhaut the mouth of the Southern Fish) and Delta Aquarids (same are of the sky just higher up) peak. Link to picture

 

Night Sky Highlights
In the east after dark, look for the summer triangle featuring the fixed stars Vega, Deneb and Altair. These three stars are all found in separate constellations but because they are so much brighter than any of the other stars around them they form a prominent triangle visible in the summer night sky. The most prominent of the constellations associated with the summer triangle is Cygnus, the Swan, whose main stars from a large cross or sword with Deneb at its top. This constellation is popularly known as the Northern Cross but is more commonly know as the Swan with Deneb marking the tail. Altair is the eye of the Eagle known as Aquila and Vega is in the constellation of Lyra. 13,000 years ago Vega was the North Star. Currently our North Star is Polaris. See the June 2008 Archives for more about Polaris and check out this URL for information about the August 1 Total Solar Eclipse http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/eclipses/12886312.html

Mar and Regulus. Sky & Telescope diagram

Mar Regulus on July 1

Daily Celestial Timings
July 1, Tuesday. July begins with the nearly New Moon at perigee and closely conjunct Mercury (18 Gemini) in the Crazy Wisdom archetype of Gemini (See July 27?) and Mars is visible 0.7 degree N of the Behenian fixed star Regulus as it moves into Virgo today. Saturn is nearby at 4 Virgo and both Mars and Saturn meet on July 10 and remain within 6 degrees of Regulus until July 12. Mars was last with Regulus two years ago in July 2006 so we can think back to that time to get a sense of how those energies were manifesting then. However a major difference to note is that Saturn was not in this area of the sky then. Mars remains within 6 degrees of Regulus until July 12 and Saturn is within 6 degrees until July 24.

The star name Regulus implies it has an ability to regulate heart-centered changes. According to Ebertin-Hoffman in their book The Fixed Stars and Their Interpretations; "…when Mars or Saturn are in conjunction with Regulus, especially exciting events are always recorded e.g. assassinations, coup detat, revolutions, revolts, demonstrations, overthrow of heads of state and similar events."

The benefits of spontaneous decisive action are found in the Mars domain. Regulus operates best through heart-centered action. Through our intention and attention we can focus Mars and Regulus to act together from the wisdom and strength of the heart so that the coup detat or revolution that is occurring is creating a divinely inspired result especially for the new and existing world leaders who wisely represent the changes needed at this time. (See July 5)

July 2, Wednesday. This “out of bounds” Cancer New Moon (11Cancer 32) is still very near perigee for the third month in a row though not as close as it was in June and it is zodiacally conjunct the Behenian fixed star Sirius (14 Cancer See July 4 for more about Sirius). With the New Moon so close to Sirius at its perigee these factors are super charging and magnifying the power of this magical transformative star energy in this month’s New Moon. Also today in some time zones this marks the exact opposition of Venus (18 Cancer) to Jupiter (18 Capricorn). All these energies are designed to help seed a new understanding and relationship with the literal and metaphoric Circle of Grandmothers.

Many Native American cultures viewed the Moon as Grandmother. The New Moon in Cancer emphasizes the mysteries of the Divine Mother and/or Grandmother. With the move of both Jupiter and Pluto into Capricorn recently the importance of the Circle of Grandmothers has been further activated in our awareness. This New Moon includes noticing and tuning into the nurturing wisdom of the Grandmothers.

As mentioned in the April Celestial Timings the United States constitution was greatly influenced by the Iroquois Constitution. The founders of the United States were also told that it was vital they include the Circle of Grandmothers as the guiding light and the final authority on all decisions including going to war or there would be significant problems. Essentially they were told if they left out the Circle of Grandmothers it would lead to disaster. And it has. So at this New Moon time as we approach yet another birthday for the United States on July 4 we can individually invite the wisdom of the Grandmothers into our hearts to guide us during these transformational times.

In this article IROQUOIS CONSTITUTION: A FORERUNNER TO COLONISTS' DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES published in the New York Times On June 28, 1987 we learn that: The United States Constitution was influenced and inspired by “the unwritten democratic constitution under which the Iroquois Confederacy had operated since the 16th century”. The Iroquois Constitution lived under three main principles, peace, equity (justice) and the power of the good minds” or the wisdom of the elders.

Records kept by the colonists site an “Onondaga named Canassatego as the one who suggested that the colonists form a nation similar to the Iroquois Confederacy during a meeting of the Provincial Council of Pennsylvania in Lancaster on June 25, 1744.”
According to the director of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Peter J. Parker, the council minutes show that Canassatego urged the colonists to ''receive these your brethren with open arms; unite yourselves to them in the covenant chain and be you with them as one body and one soul.'' http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0DE5DD1F31F93BA15755C0A961948260
In 2004 the U.S. Government acknowledged the influence of the Iroquois Constitution on the U.S. Framers. The Smithsonian also noted the similarities between the two documents, as well as the differences. One significant difference noted was the inclusion of women in the Iroquois Constitution, one group among many that the framers of the U.S. Constitution did not include.

July 3, Thursday. Today marks the Venus (18 Cancer) opposition to Jupiter (18 Capricorn) in most time zones still well within this New Moon window further energizing the importance of connecting with the Grandmothers and their insights, knowledge and wisdom.

Many traditions around the World have prophecies thousands of years old saying that it is the Grandmothers who will light our way in these times of transformation. A group of 13 indigenous grandmothers from around the world gathered in Phoenicia, New York in October 2004 just four months after the first Venus Transit (noted for acceleration in global workings) and formed a council now known as the Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. These Grandmothers have come together to speak as a united voice in guiding the world through these transformative times speaking to the vital importance of “the transforming power of prayer, the healing power of sacred medicines, the creative power of women and the ultimate power of Unity.”

Agnes Baker Pilgrim, the oldest living female member of the Takelma Band of the Rogue River Indians in Oregon, says in World Pulse that prayer is our duty and that “we need not for one moment limit ourselves about what we can do. We must give support and encouragement to each other and to whomever we meet on our path. Love people unconditionally and add their voices and prayers to ours. The creator will hear our cries and turn the dark side around.”

The grandmothers believe that only culture derived from nature’s laws will survive. Without a deep connection to nature, our consciousness and our politics will inevitably be flawed. But when we are connected to the natural world, we cannot help but see the beauty within ourselves and everywhere else.

With the deluge of negative information in the world today, it is heartening to consider the possibility that opening ourselves to beauty, hope, and connection may be the most healing action we can take. (See Intro and July 2, 6, 8, 15, 18, 19, 21, 26, and 29 for more about the Circles of Grandmothers)
