Love Heals Everything!
Dreamtime Message in May 2000

On July 17, 2007, we are all being asked to participate in Firing the Grid of the Earth. If you aren’t aware of the Full Story and request, it is all here. And here are the main details:

The intent is to pulse healing energy into the center of the Earth and regenerate the core, or the heart of the planet. The time has been set for 11:11 am Greenwich Mean Time. That is 7:11 am EDT, 6:11 am CDT, 5:11 am MDT and 4:11 am PDT. Be sure to adjust for your time zone. The idea is to simply sit and pray or meditate for one hour during that time. Hopefully, with your help, we will amass a union of humans, such as the world has never seen. Loving humans with one intention - to heal our planet and awaken our souls to our true purpose… to become one with our Source of Light.

For those who are choosing to participate with Firing the Grid, I have included information throughout the July Timings on working with the Violet Flame and Invocations, etc…as a few suggestions intended to inspire additional ways to meditate or pray at this time. July 1, 16 and 17 have the most concentrated information. It turns out that on July 16, we have a Moon occultation over Saturn, and on July 17, we have a Moon occultation over Regulus assisting us in activating and anchoring the light codes of the Earth and of ourselves in physical form. This is a beautiful demonstration of As Above, So Below…

Bringing us to the fact that Regulus is moving further into the spotlight this month with Saturn moving within 4 degrees, catching up to Regulus next month, and Venus is exactly conjunct mid-month, and then stations Retrograde within three degrees on July 28 on Archangel Uriel’s feast day. So I have also included new information about Antares, Archangel Uriel, The Book of Enoch, and of course Regulus.

Star Map of the Constellation of the Lion This diagram shows the constellation of the Lion. The head of the Lion looks like a sickle or backward question mark that is easy to spot in the night sky. The ecliptic, the path of the planets including the Sun, is just south of Regulus about half a degree and is where we will be seeing Venus and Saturn over this next month. http://www.astro.uiuc.edu/~kaler/sow/leo-t.html

Note: It helps to remember that all the aspects and timings mentioned here include a minimum of a three-day window…the day before, the day of and the day after. Some aspects will be felt longer and will recur over weeks or months but the three-day window always applies especially with faster moving planets. Also the days and times given for aspects are Pacific Daylight Time except where noted.

Daily Timings
July 1, Sunday. With the Moon moving into Aquarius and Venus conjunct Saturn (22 Leo), this is time for restructuring our physical being so that we are more fully living the divinity that we truly are. One of the gifts available to assist in this restructuring process is the Violet Flame as given to us through the teachings of Saint Germain. This quote from the book, The Gnosis and the Law, by Tellis S. Papastavro describes the importance of invoking the Violet Flame through Decree and forgiveness.

Primarily, the Violet Transmuting Flame, though as a unit, may and does act independently, yet it is a part and parcel of the Cosmic Sacred Fire which is God's pure energy. To manifest itself, should be invoked through a "Decree", from one's own Christ Self or through any Member of the Spiritual Hierarchy or Cosmic Being that has particularly dedicated Himself or Herself to this especial service. Usually These Beings belong to the Seventh Ray.

When it (the Violet Flame) is called into action by invocation and starts manifesting itself, it accelerates the vibratory action of the electrons which make up the atoms which compose the four lower vehicles of the individual. As this acceleration takes place, the cells and atoms automatically throw off the effluvia consciously or unconsciously gathered through the ages. As they dislodge themselves, they fall into the Sacred Fire, where, purified, are returned to the individual with the required specific God quality. The time required for the transmutation depends upon the amount of the effluvia, the faith with which the effort is done and the perseverance of the individual.

But for the accomplishment of this, it is more than necessary that the feeling and mental world of the individual should fully cooperate in the performance. This performance is one of mercy, compassion and forgiveness, and the Violet Fire dissolves imperfect energy, when it is accompanied with the actual feeling of Forgiveness for your own mistakes and those of others. When we do not forgive, we should not ask or expect to be forgiven. Forgiveness is the great alchemy through which we can draw the blessing of the Sacred Fire, not only on us but on all mankind. The "I AM" Presence of every individual, even the most depraved, desires perfection for that individual; and when you call to the "I AM" Presence "of all mankind" and ask the Violet Flame to blaze through them and forgive their mistakes, it enables that "I AM" Presence to go into action, when perhaps it has been many centuries since it has been called upon and thus given permission to assist that life stream.

Thus we can see that for the service and benefits of the Sacred Fire, we must give and forgive; we must harmonize our world and our acts to conform to the Laws of God.

I learned the first part of the Violet Flame decree below in the 1970s and what I remember is it came from the “I AM Discourses” by Saint Germain. Inspired by the above information I added versus on forgiveness, clarity and beauty. Feel free to add or change this in whatever way inspires you.

I AM a being of Violet Fire. I AM the purity God desires. I AM a being of Violet Fire. I AM the clarity God inspires. I AM a being of Violet Fire. I AM the forgiveness God desires. I AM a being of Violet Fire. I AM the beauty God inspires.

July 2, Monday. As Jupiter makes it way back to the fixed star Antares, heart of the Scorpion, our attention is drawn to the myth and lore associated with this royal Behenian star also linked with Archangel Uriel. July 28 is celebrated as the feast day of Uriel, also known as the Angel of Light. Uriel directs the initiatory teachings that unite the mysteries of the Heavens as they relate to the Earth as evidenced in the Book Uriel’s Machine by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas.

Uriel’s Machine discusses the known origins of the Book of Enoch that were discovered and translated by James Bruce in about 1762. In 1947, nine more copies of the Book of Enoch were found at Qumran within the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Book of Enoch has a section called “Book of Heavenly Luminaries” describing how Uriel teaches Enoch all the secrets of the stars and planets as they related to the Earth. Here is a passage with Enoch describing his experience.

And they brought me to a place of darkness, and to a mountain the point of whose summit reached to Heaven. And they showed me all the secrets of the ends of the Heaven, and all the chambers of all the stars, and all the luminaries, whence they proceed before the face of the Holy Ones.

And I saw six portals in which the Sun rises, and six portals in which the Sun sets. Six in the east and six in the west and all following each other in accurately corresponding order; also many windows to the right and left of these portals….

As Jupiter is activating and expanding the mysteries of Antares this year, and as we experience two more Moon occultations over Antares on July 25, and November 11, we have an opportunity to receive direct transmissions of insight and inspiration from Antares. Visually connecting with and tuning into Antares whenever possible assists in receiving the transmissions. It may also be useful to invite the mysteries of Antares to help inform your experience through the guidance of Archangel Uriel.

July 3, Tuesday. The waning Moon occults Neptune today revealing what is hidden within us and the power of imaging and setting our intention or prayers without attachment to the results. Our prayers are a key element in the co-creative process, and understanding our hidden thoughts and feelings that direct our prayers helps us to uncover what we are really setting into motion. In Neale Donald Walsh’s book, Conversations With God, we are reminded that no prayer ever goes unanswered, but what we may not realize is that every thought and every feeling is creative. When we pray it is the strongest held thoughts and feelings that drive the prayer. The secret, we are told, is the “thought behind the thought,” or what is termed the “Sponsoring Thought” that has the most power in becoming reality. Prayers of advanced gratitude without attachment to the results help to guide this conscious, co-creative process. (See May 2007 Celestial Timings archives.)

Conversations with God reminds us:

The process of prayer becomes much easier when, rather than having to believe that God will always say “yes” to every request, one understands intuitively that the request itself is not necessary. Then the prayer is a prayer of thanksgiving. It is not a request at all, but a statement of gratitude for what is so!!!

July 4, Wednesday. Independence Day for the USA. This historic day anchored a conscious intention of Independence for all people and was inspired by the anagram for America: “I Am Race.” This suggests one of the original divine intentions for the land of the Americas is to support the freedom and independence of the pure expression of the “I Am” quality within every individual. Are we living freedom and independence expressing the divine “I Am” that we are and supporting others in doing the same?

Each year around July 4 the Sun zodiacally aligns with the fixed star Sirius, the brightest fixed star in our sky. Sirius is invisible now due to its proximity to the Sun. Through the doorway of the Sun, the Sirian mysteries are being illuminated and energized. Sirius was described as “the Great Star of Initiation” by M. Temple Richmond in his book Sirius. Richmond suggests entering “humbly and reverentially into meditative contemplation of Sirius, the custodian of occult mystery, for in contemplating this great star-being, we encounter a sacred source of transcendence.”

The Sun with Sirius was a part of the guiding force that founded the United States of America and the ideals of a nation that support living freedom for all. The United States government often falls far short of this foundational vision and yet there are many U.S. Citizens committed to responsibly living and expressing the ideals and principles of freedom for all, keeping the vision alive. As the Sun and Sirius move toward their exact alignment on July 6, this is a time for remembering and renewing our commitment to living freedom in ways that celebrate and support the whole of life.

The Moon moves into Pisces in the early morning hours inspiring our dreaming process through the creative use of our imagination. Consciously choosing where we focus our thoughts and dreaming energies is a key to the co-creative process. Healthy Pisces enjoys mystically connecting with the Divine and simply serves all life through loving compassion. When Pisces is out of balance, it expresses through co-dependency, and the inability to know its own feelings and experience, because it is too empathically attuned to others who are close to them. It helps when Pisces can direct their service towards taking care of themselves first. Then from a place of balance these mystical dreamers serve life in a way that is most supportive and beneficial to all.

July 5, Thursday. Mars is forming a T-square to Neptune and Saturn (see July 24 and 31) much of this month and the Moon comes into complete the Grand Cross on July 23. If healthy Mars in Taurus appreciates the visionary dreaming qualities of Neptune that inspire Mars to take whatever actions will help further realize and ground the incoming dreams and visions. Mars also appreciates the form Saturn brings as long as it does not limit the ability to enjoy the sensual beauty and pleasure of the manifesting dreams. The challenge for Mars is to balance the dreaming visionary aspect of Neptune with practical manifestation in the Saturn realm. If getting things accomplished is difficult this month, it is a good time to reassess and maybe even step back to see what else might be seeking expression at this time because it could be even more amazing than what we were originally envisioning.

The Moon conjuncts Retrograde Uranus (18 Pisces) transmitting the healing mysteries of love and compassion for ourselves and others in ways that are unexpected and unique. His Holiness the Dalai Lama gives us this understanding of love and compassion from his book, The Compassionate Life:

"Before we can generate compassion and love, it is important to have a clear understanding of what we understand compassion and love to be. In simple terms, compassion and love can be defined as positive thoughts and feelings that give rise to such essential things in life as hope, courage, determination, and inner strength."-- His Holiness the Dalai Lama, available from Snow Lion Publications.

July 6, Friday. The Moon is moving into Aries to again complete the Grand Fire trine over the next three days. (See June Archives.) This Timing spontaneously calls us to nurture and celebrate the inner child by taking time to have fun and be in the moment, while also exploring what we feel called to protect or further within the cosmic order of life. The qualities of trust, spontaneity and courage, along with a willingness to pioneer new territory assists in receiving the full potency of the Moon’s journey through Aries. The element of fire is creative life force energy that generates enthusiasm, courage, spontaneity and inspiration. Fire also purifies and transforms. Fire can be seemingly destructive as in the summer wild fires that destroy homes and buildings, but from the ashes new life always emerges in some way, much like the Phoenix rising. (See the April 8, 9, 2007 and May 12, 2007 Archives.)

July 7, Saturday. 07\07\07. Today is the exact Aries Last Quarter Moon (15 Aries) providing an opportunity to integrate the gifts of the Aries archetype. Aries reminds us life is not about doing for the purpose of receiving value and worth from an outside authority. Aries performs action for the purpose of enjoying life and discovering more about self. Aries action often shows up in the form of aggressive play. For children, play is their greatest teacher and how they learn to interact with their world. When caught up in work and the responsibilities of life, adults often forget the importance of play as a great teacher and a way to experience new perspectives.

The reminder today is to give yourself permission to play in whatever way works for you. It might be with your children, or children you know, or with your own inner child. A few suggestions to inspire ways to play are playing games (i.e. cards or board games), playing with toys, create toys out of whatever is handy, role playing, dancing, singing, making a hide-out or fort out of blankets and pillows, drawing, coloring, laughing, being silly, making up stories, or doing whatever allows your imagination to run wild and free.

July 8, Sunday. The Moon moves into Taurus activating the mysteries of savoring and enjoying life through the art of genuine receivership including receiving and savoring the gifts of beauty, intimacy and pleasure as a path to experience the divine in physical form. In a culture that believes it is more blessed to give than receive, the art of true receivership has been overshadowed. Regaining these mysteries begins with deep gratitude for all the gifts we already have. Gratitude opens the doors to the mysteries within our hearts around true receivership.

True feelings of gratitude magnetizes more and more for us to be grateful for, while fulfilling the sacred circuit of life that includes a balance of both giving and receiving for the purpose of joyously celebrating life. When first learning the art of receivership, Taurus might say it is just as blessed (and in some cases more blessed) to receive as it is to give, as receivership is the leading edge of learning for anyone investigating the Taurus mysteries.

Venus (27 Leo) now within two degrees of the fixed heart star Regulus, is trine Pluto (27 Sag) now located at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy. The true mysteries of the Heart as expressed through the Divine Feminine is ultimately being empowered by a Plutonic initiation bringing the shadow issues we have to light in ways that support our ability to live the truth of who we are.

In the book The Gnosis and the Law, by Tellis S. Papastravo, we are reminded of the importance of Truth that comes from kindness and compassion. So called “truth” that is wounding, brutal, harsh, or judgmental is counter to genuine Truth’s intent to liberate by conveying assurance, conviction, and comfort. Indeed, the ultimate Truth is pure Love. When we find the heart of truth within ourselves, we find it resides in the heart of pure love that regards every aspect of creation as perfect just the way it IS.

July 9, Monday. The Moon conjuncts Mars, and Mercury (2 Cancer29) Stations Direct today marking the center of the Still Point shift before Mercury begins its forward journey once again. The Mercury station is a time when magic often occurs as the transformational messenger bridges this word with non-ordinary worlds. The Mercury station is an infinity point we can access with great potential for receiving sacred knowledge through new messages, new information, new possibilities, and new creative explorations. Simply being open to and accepting what IS allows this process to work its magic in perhaps unexpected ways. This magical timing is highlighted between July 4 -15, with today being especially significant as it is the exact center point of the Mercury station. This energy will remain at a high level of potency until August 12 when Mercury moves beyond the degree of its Retrograde station on June 14 at 11Cancer35.

July 10, Tuesday. The Moon moves into Gemini transmitting the mysteries of the Coyote Trickster whose unexpected contrary magic and alchemy is beautifully demonstrated by the southwestern mythical character Kokopeli whose many skills included being master entertainer, magician, and networker. The Coyote trickster helps to facilitate alchemical transformation by getting us to laugh at ourselves and reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously. This is youthful, playful fun, and entertaining energy often expressing through instructive stories intended to take us on an expansive inner journey.

July 11, Wednesday. The Sun (18 Cancer 49) is trine retrograde Uranus (18 Pisces 49). The Sun always trines an outer planet shortly after the Retrograde station marking the Still Point of this planetary timing. Uranus stationed Retrograde on June 24 at 18 degrees and 41 minutes of Pisces. So we can see that Uranus has moved barely 8 minutes in the past two and a half weeks. The shift in direction of a planet’s motion from the Earth’s perspective creates a pause or Still Point indicating the center balanced point of power where there is no movement but everything is possible and everything exists before it begins to differentiate or move into form. It may be helpful to take time to be still and listen to your inner voice for guidance in how to best self-nurture, while being open to rolling with the flow of the radical changes that are already in motion even if they haven’t been detected yet.

July 12, Thursday. The waning Crescent Moon moves into Cancer crossing the Galactic Edge and then conjuncts Mercury (2Cancer43). The Moon in Cancer is located 8.6 degrees north of Mercury as they reach their zodiacal alignment, energizing messages of building a new world based on responsible nurturing, mutual cooperation for the benefit of all, and the sense we are all in this life experience together as members of a global family. When we cooperate and work together, we have the ability to thrive in ways we cannot do on our own. Participating in Firing the Earth Grid on July 17 is one way to join with others in a cooperative effort to create unprecedented global healing and change. In fact, we don’t have to wait for that date to begin sending our loving energy into the heart of the Earth now and into every aspect of creation! Remember, Love Heals Everything!

July 13, Friday. (See April 2007 Archives for Friday the 13th info.) Today marks the opening of the new movie Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in the Lunar Standstill Cancer New Moon window that will be exact tomorrow, plus Venus reaches its exact zodiacal alignment with Regulus and is visible about 1.7 degrees southwest of Regulus in the evening sky. Venus is currently 39 degrees away from the Sun and near its maximum brightness.

Regulus was one of the four Royal stars of ancient times, Watcher of the West, and associated with Archangel Raphael. The other Royal Stars are Aldebaran, Fomalhaut, and Antares. Regulus is also known as one of the four key stars including Aldebaran, Antares, and Spica in the heavens lying closest to the ecliptic, meaning it can be, and often is, occulted by the Moon. Regulus entered the sign Leo in 156 BC, and is currently located at 29 degrees and 56 minutes of Leo. Coincidently, Regulus enters the sign of Virgo in the now infamous year of 2012. Over 26,000 years, every sign is with every star of every constellation due to the tilt and wobble of the Earth, that causes the precession of the equinoxes and solstices to shift through the constellations at the rate of one degree every 72 years. (See Difference Between Signs and Constellations.)

Regulus is the 22nd brightest star in our sky measuring about five times bigger and 160 times brighter than our Sun. Also our Sun is only 93,000,000 miles from Earth, while Regulus is 85 light years away. This means the light from the Sun reaches the earth in about 8.33 minutes, where as the light from Regulus takes about 85 years to reach the Earth, so the light we see each night from Regulus is about 85 years old.

July 14, Saturday. The Cancer New Moon (22 Cancer) is occurring near the edge of the Sacred Hoop This New Moon provides a dark sky for viewing the center of the Galaxy along the Milky Way, a.k.a. as the celestial highway, because it is formed by a band of millions of stars that have captivated the imagination of many ancient cultures. These cultures viewed the intersection points of the Milky Way with the ecliptic as the gateway between Heaven and Earth where souls enter and leave this realm.

This Cancer New Moon (4 Cancer) is occurring near the center of the Sacred Hoop along the Milky Way Band, further energizing the mantle of a new consciousness and awareness emerging at this current turning of the great wheel of time. We cannot see the starry backdrop of this area of the sky right now as the Sun is there, but we can still tune into the energies being beamed to us through the Sun Moon conjunction. This New Moon is an opportunity to further seed the best, most harmonious, balanced possibilities for expressing responsible nurturing towards ourselves, our children, our children’s children and our beloved planet.

Venus is moving into Virgo today and will reach about 3 degrees Virgo before stationing Retrograde on July 26. As previously mentioned, Venus has been in close zodiacal alignment with Regulus, the Heart of the Lion, low on the western horizon after Sunset. The sacred feminine has an opportunity to access the codes of light that are deep within the Lion's heart, helping Venus weave a new reality based in love and dedicated to honoring the sacred expression of life.

July 15, Sunday. The new Crescent Moon moved into Leo last night or early this morning depending on your time zone and is drawing our attention to the mysteries of self-love founded in healthy self-confidence. Unless we are confident that our very existence is a gift to all of life regardless of what we ever DO or accomplish, the self-love or self-confidence we experience is fragile at best depending largely on our next accomplishment. Practicing loving ourselves for who we are right now, regardless of how we may judge ourselves, is a key for remembering our very existence is a blessing and to being truly able to care for others.

In his book, The Compassionate Life, the Dalai Lama agrees, saying:

Fundamentally, the basis on which you can build a sense of caring for others is the capacity to love yourself.-- His Holiness, the Dalai Lama.

July 16, Monday. The Moon occults Saturn for the 7th time this year. Tonight the waxing crescent appears near Saturn and Regulus visible low on the western horizon after Sunset. This Timing is helping to structure new forms of radiant, healthy, creative, radical self-love especially if we have been actively practicing self-forgiveness and self-care. This practice is greatly facilitated when we work with the transmuting power of the Violet flame as described in this passage from The Gnosis and the Law. (See July 1)

Now, again I ask you to follow with me the picture and pattern of the electrons as they exist within your emotional bodies. This picture will help you much in your visualization and in your use of the powers of the Sacred Fire to dislodge from around the electrons the discordant substance which you have drawn into your emotional vehicles by suction from the world without through indulgence in thoughts and feelings of an inharmonious nature.

Every feeling you entertain draws unto itself through the centripetal force of sympathy the feelings of a like nature that float in the atmosphere and these, coupled with the discordant feelings that you generate yourselves in secret during your entire waking state, are drawn into the force fields around the electrons that make up your bodies, resulting in the feelings of heaviness, depression and discouragement in the emotional body and your outer body as well.

As the individual uses the powers of the Sacred Fire, such as the Violet Transmuting Flame, or the Flame of Cosmic Christ Purity, what takes place? The "wedges" of dark, heavy substance around the electrons are loosened and gradually thrown off---the vibratory action of the electron increases and it vibrates more rapidly in its orbit around the central core of each atom. Then, as you consciously call to the Beings, who represent the virtues of a perfect Ascended Master nature, asking them to charge into the force fields around the electrons, those virtues - They will do it! Thus you build into your emotional body a storehouse of constructive energy which will act in the future as automatically as the destructive vibrations have acted in the past.

Working with the Violet Flame helps us to restructure our entire being clearing away all the old vibrations that have prevented us from experiencing our true divine nature. (See July 1 and 17)

July 17, Tuesday. Today is the day to Fire the Grid. http://www.firethegrid.com
One way to participate with this is through invocation. The power of invocation is beautifully described in the book, The Gnosis and The Law.

The immediate effect of invocation, when directed to an Ascended or Cosmic Being, comes through Radiation. The power of Radiation is the thing that does the mighty work in the decrees that go forth; it is the power of Radiation in the mental and feeling world of mankind which touches the Light within the heart. Through that mighty vibratory action, the whole attunement of the individual is set anew and enables the perfect work to go on…

The following invocation can be said on behalf of the Earth, the Cosmos and yourself. You can use this one or create one that works for you.

With the Help of Saint Germain, I invoke the Violet Flame
to cleanse, and clear and inspire, through the healing gift of the Sacred Fire.
Transforming all our fear and all our pain, and healing the Earth with the Violet Flame.

The waxing Moon occults Regulus and then conjuncts Venus (1 Virgo) at 4:40 am PDT. The Moon will have moved beyond Venus by Sunset. This Moon occultation over Regulus is visible in southeast Asia and northwest Australia and is the 7th occultation of the Moon over Regulus this year. The Moon will occult Regulus five more times this year on Sep 10, Oct 7, Nov 3, Nov 30, and Dec 28.

Plus, this is the last Venus/Moon conjunction before Venus turns Retrograde on July 27. The Moon carries the ancient wisdom of the lineage of Virgo, the high priestess, the one who knows how to honor life as sacred and co-creatively participate with the co-creative weaving of the web of life. Venus represents the evolving, emerging feminine principle and she has the opportunity to integrate this wisdom within the current archetypal expression of the feminine begun in January, 1998 in Capricorn. The emerging Capricorn mysteries at the Turning of the Ages anchors the new operating manual for humanity in harmony with all life. Virgo reminds Capricorn to honor the new structure and form as sacred.

July 18, Wednesday. Venus is still within one degree of Regulus and will pass by Regulus two more times this year. The next Venus passage by Regulus is after Venus goes retrograde. Venus returns to Regulus between August 4 – 11 (and is in exact zodiacal alignment on Aug 8 and 9). The final passage of Venus by Regulus this year occurs from October 6 – 10 with the exact alignment is on Oct 7. (Note: This is a Timing we will work with ceremonially during our journey to France, where we will also be visiting one of seven earthly Venus Temple Nodes.)

In the book, Star Names: Their Lore and Meaning, Richard Hinckley Allen says Regulus is the diminutive form of the Latin "Rex" (King), and derived from the Greek, "Star of the King." The Akkadians of Mesopotamia referred to Regulus as the legendary "King of the Celestial Sphere" who ruled before the Great Flood.

The symbol of the Lion is vast and rich. According to An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols by J. C. Cooper, the Lion is seen as both Solar and Lunar. As a solar symbol, it represents strength, courage, justice, nobility, and the splendor and power of the noonday Sun. Its solar symbols have also been associated with war, cruelty, and fierceness. As a Lunar symbol, it is the Great Mother as Lioness, drawing her chariot. The Lunar Lion is also linked with the Virgin Warrior Goddesses from many cultures including Tara from Tibet, Sekmet from Egypt, Kali from India, Artemis and Cybele from Greece, Juno from Rome, and Ishtar from Babylon. Thus the Lunar Lion also connects with the dark mother, the destroyer and creator, facilitating death and rebirth.

Regulus then suggests a connection with the sacred union of Masculine and Feminine, Solar and Lunar, Lion (King) and Lioness (Queen), who are also seen as the guardians of the doors or portals to the treasures of knowledge and understanding. The Lion in the Sky links with the Sphinx on Earth, guarding the Hall of Records that is also coded within our cellular structure.

The Lion also reminds us of a golden age, when the Radiant and Shining Ones (the Kings and Queens) walked the Earth with radiant golden auras illuminating balance and harmony with all life. There was peace and plenty for all. This is a time remembered through myths and stories in nearly every culture on our planet spoken of as Heaven on Earth, Shamballah, Tula, Camelot, Shangri La, and the Garden of Eden. It is a time many of us yearn for in our deepest heart’s desire, often expressed in the idea of Paradise Regained. As Saturn, Venus and the Sun pass by Regulus, they are illuminating and activating the stellar codes that carry the imprinting of these golden times.

It is time to release the old paradigm, the old Earth, the old concepts and beliefs that keep us from knowing, experiencing and expressing our true divine nature. Saturn’s passage here (something that happens every 30 years), individually and collectively, activates these ancient Divine stellar codes already in our cellular memory. It is time to once again remember, awaken, and walk the Earth as the Shining Ones with radiant golden auras of light carrying the frequency of ascension for ourselves and for the planet.

July 19, Thursday. Waxing Moon enters Libra whose mysteries include conscious equal partnership and social etiquette or good manners. These mysteries remind us that how we treat others is ultimately no different than how we treat ourselves. Kindness towards others is kindness towards self. The fine art of treating others with genuine dignity and respect is a reflection of our own self-treatment. Libra is the mystery school that would agree with the statement there is no excuse for bad manners. Even when stating our feelings, our experience and what we perceive is true in relationship to anyone else, we can do so without attacking, shaming, belittling, accusing, or being mean. This requires skills that aren’t readily taught in our culture and it requires a willingness to own our own experience even when we are feeling hurt by someone else. Finding healthy, constructive, caring ways to communicate our true feelings is liberating and freeing for all concerned.

July 20, Friday. Mars (18 Taurus) sextiles Uranus (18 Pisces) suggesting this is a time for taking successful, innovative, revolutionary action outside the box or standards of ordinary reality. Uranus is often associated with radical assemblage point shifts designed to free us from stagnation. When we embrace changes as they are occurring these shifts are easier to assimilate.

July 21, Saturday. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series, is being released today in the second First Quarter Moon in Libra (29 Libra) since last month. The last First Quarter Moon in Libra was on June 22 at 1 Libra (see June, 2007 Archives). Also worth noting is that the Libra New Moon last Oct 21 and 22, 2006, was at 29 Libra, suggesting we have reached a time for actively engaging the intention for conscious relationship that was seeded at the October 2006 Libra New Moon.

Last October for he Libra New Moon, I shared this quote by Gay and Kathleen Hendricks from their book Conscious Loving to remind us that we cannot experience a truly loving conscious relationship unless we love ourselves. This is a primary key to enjoying fun, fulfilling relationships.

A co-committed relationship can exist only between two whole people. One hallmark of wholeness is the ability to love yourself. In the realm of love, a paradox exists; you can effectively love others only when you can love yourself. If you cannot love yourself, you will try to fill the void of your own lack of self-love with the love of others. You will tend to demand from others what you cannot give yourself. This demand places an unfair burden on those around you. It makes you a bottomless pit: No matter how much love they give, it is never enough. The same problem exists if you try to give love to other people who do not love themselves. You will turn yourself inside out loving them, but it will not help. We all must learn to give ourselves the love we want. Then other people can love us and it will feel satisfying because it is not filling a void. It becomes love dancing with itself. http://www.hendricks.com/default.asp

July 22, Sunday. Magdalene’s Feast Day. The Sun enters Leo and the waxing Moon is slipping into Scorpio transmitting the mysteries of passionate aliveness through the willingness to live on the edges and beyond. Moon in Scorpio facilitates regeneration on a deep cellular level transforming our experience in ways we may not have yet imagined.

The annual entrance of the Sun into Leo today (where it remains until Aug 23) is energizing the King/Queen archetype or the archetypal mysteries that remind of us our true divine nature. (See July18.)

July 23, Monday. We are again feeling the effects of the Grand Cross as the Scorpio Moon moves to complete it. Mars in Taurus (20 Taurus) is moving toward an exact square with Saturn (25 Leo) and Retrograde Neptune (21 Aquarius) and has already been square Retrograde Chiron (14 Aquarius) in the signs of Self-Interest, where the focus is on developing personal aspects of the Divine expression. Taurus learns about self through development of the ability to receive itself through experiences of pleasure, beauty, and deep intimacy. Leo takes this a step further learning about its divinity through developing the qualities of radical, radiant self-love, self-confidence, self-acceptance, and self-approval. Scorpio develops the qualities of divine Will as an individualized expression learning to manifest spirit into matter for an orgasmic ecstatic experience, and Aquarius extends this to encompass the cosmic perspective revolutionizing conscious awareness of the Divine. The fixed signs, when healthy, are also about experiencing Bliss. Joseph Campbell advocated for following your bliss when he said, “I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be.”

The Moon is a transmitter of the mysteries of whatever sign it is occupying and is acting as an activator of this alignment. Mars takes committed, decisive action for the cause it wants to further. Saturn is the structure or form we give our lives. Chiron is the Shamanic healer distilling the healing elixir that transforms our wounds into the medicine we carry. Neptune facilitates new visions and dreams through contact with the field of all possibilities, deepening our inner knowing and developing our inner eye for seeing beyond the illusions of this external reality.

These energies are calling us to let go of limiting concepts, beliefs and attitudes while actively embracing the joy, the bliss, and pleasure of life. When we are willing to surrender the outmoded pictures and beliefs that limit our life experience, we find space opens up for magic to happen.

July 24, Tuesday. Moon enters Sagittarius energizing the quest for truth and meaning that expands our consciousness into unchartered territory. Climbing a mountain, being in nature, meditating, or any other practice that connects to healthy expansive states of awareness, help to inspire and increase our optimism and faith in the unfolding experiences of truth and meaning.

Mars (21 Taurus) squares Neptune (21 Aquarius) exact today. Mars has been in a T-square to Neptune and Saturn much of this month (see July 5, and 31), and today is an exact aspect to Neptune, though this influence has been felt all month and will continue to be felt until early August. When Neptune is present, it is often a time when tasks, projects and other accomplishments are slowed way down taking longer than usual to get the usual results. This is because we are being encouraged to go within and to follow inner guidance rather than depend on external circumstances to guide our way. When following internal guidance, often unexpected shortcuts and miracles can happen that are beyond logic and reason.

As if to confirm the Neptune theme, Mercury is moving past the degree of its Retrograde station that happened onJune 14. It helps to remember that Mercury is the messenger between the ordinary and non-ordinary worlds and is a catalyst for magic that is outside the realms of logic and reason.

July 25, Wednesday. The waxing Moon conjuncts Jupiter (10 Sag) and Antares (10 Sag) this morning appearing just beyond them both tonight after Sunset. This triple alignment is happening once each month for much of this year. Only once every 12 years can Jupiter pass by Antares activating this Behenian star and amplifying the magical energies of Antares. (See May 26, 2007 Archives.) The ancient Egyptians experienced Antares as a portal to the pyramids mysteries and built temples sites and pyramids with specific features for capturing the rising of Antares. These planetary pyramids are reminders the ancients have left us that every level of physical manifestation and evolution is structured within pyramidal forms of light helping to facilitate the necessary vibrational shifts as we encounter our next dimensional experience.

July 26, Thursday. The Lunar Standstill Moon conjuncts Retrograde Pluto (26 Sagittarius 46) at Galactic Center illuminating any repressed shadow sides of truth and outmoded beliefs we are hanging onto that limit our experience of our true self. This often produces events intended to get us to let go and to ultimately experience true empowerment of who we authentically are.

This includes releasing any seeming truth that wounds, accuses, condemns, or limits a person’s experience through guilt, shame or judgment. Truths that come from strict religious doctrine or cultural beliefs or any truth based in fear operate out of the need to survive, control and dominate. Perception of the Truth perceptually shifts and changes when the need to control or when any perceived threats disappear.

Is your current truth based in fear or love? Fear-based truth operates through rigid rules and standards designed to control outcomes often carrying harsh punishments or judgments if these rules are transgressed. Then the tendency is to set ourselves up to feel betrayed, or victimized, or self-righteous, if those around us do not live up to these rigid standards of so-called truth.

Love-based truth expresses through acceptance and compassion. Love-based truth is not invested in outcomes but rather allows and accepts what IS knowing the only way reality changes is through changing personal perception and beliefs. Self-love and acceptance is a vital key for accessing love-based truth. When we name our fears they loose power over us as described by Lloyd Alexander in his novel, The Book of Three.

"Once you have courage to look upon evil, seeing it for what it is and naming it by its true name, it is powerless against you, and you can destroy it."

July 27, Friday. Late last night or early this morning the waxing nearly full Lunar Standstill Moon enters Capricorn crossing the Galactic Plane where the Winter Solstice Sun currently rises marking the Turning of the Ages. This Galactic Gateway is where new creative energies pour into this dimensional realm. Working with intention and attention to this area of the sky assists in the co-creative magic that brings spirit into matter and manifests our true heart’s desires in alignment with the greater good of all life.

The second rarest of the Retrogrades* begins today when Venus (2Virgo57) stations Retrograde marking the final integration phase of the current Venus cycle. The Venus station is exact at 10:27 am Pacific Time or 1:27 pm Eastern Time. Venus will station Direct on September 8, 2007, beginning a new 584-day Venus Cycle on Aug 25, 2007, with the Heliacal Rise of Venus as a morning star. For those who have or are turning a multiple of 8…meaning anyone who has turned or will turn age 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80 and so on…between Jan 20, 2006 and Aug 24, 2007, this is especially significant in terms of your own initiation cycles. (*Mars is the rarest Retrograde occurring only every 26 months and it just so happens is going Retrograde in mid-December)

The Venus cycle lasts 584 days and is in the highest tier of importance in the planetary initiation cycles from a shamanic perspective and so is worth tracking as a way to gain insight into your own emerging feminine expression if you are a woman. If you are a man, this represents what aspect of the feminine you are incorporating through the sacred marriage. This topic will be discussed and shared about in depth at the November Beginning Night Sky Event in Sedona, Arizona Nov 3-7, 2007. See the events page for details.

July 28, Saturday. Archangel Uriel’s Feast Day http://www.uriel.com/uriel/index.htm. Mercury (18 Cancer) trines Retrograde Uranus (18 Pisces) inspiring beyond the beyond, innovative, unusual, cutting edge, out of the ordinary ideas, and insights that liberate our thinking and help facilitate assemblage point shifts in our perception of reality. Being open to unusual possibilities and willing to go with the flow allows for whatever cosmic downloads are coming through to support the changes that revolutionize our current life experience in an extraordinary evolutionary direction.

July 29, Sunday. The Aquarius Full Moon (7 Aquarius) is at 5:48 pm EDT. Experientially we see the Moon rising full for three nights, the day before, the day of and the day after the exact Full Moon. Last night, tonight and tomorrow night the Full Moon is rising at maximum potency energizing the fulfillment phase of this Moon cycle. In the hero’s quest as described by Joseph Campbell, this phase of the Moon relates to the Mystical Marriage or Apotheosis. Apotheosis in this context is: Exaltation to divine rank or stature; deification. This is the phase in the cycle where the goal of the journey is reached, the seeds have matured and are bearing fruit, the gifts are received when we are open to receive them creating an opportunity to remember and experience our divinity. Watching the Full Moon inspires our connection to what is coming into fruition through our visionary and revolutionary dreams. This is time for following inner guidance that often defies logic and reason, which is the place where true inspirational change emerges.

July 30, Monday. Still well within the potency of the Full Moon tonight the Moon occults Neptune for the second time this month. (See July 3.) In honor of the release of the last book in the Harry Potter series, here is a quote from Bane the Centaur found in the first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, by J.K. Rowling on page 257, essentially reminding us of the importance of As Above, So Below and the guidance available to us when we tune into the Celestial Realms.

"Remember... we have sworn not to set ourselves against the heavens. Have we not read what is to come in the movements of the planets? ... Or have the planets not let you in on that secret?"

When we know how to tune in and receive the messages of the Great Above through the movement of the planets in relationship to each other and the starry backdrop, we have a powerful tool that greatly assists us in consciously navigating these rapidly changing times.

July 31, Tuesday. Moon moves into Pisces this morning energizing the mysteries of inspired dreaming through the conscious use of our imagination. This is not about doing in the sense of “hard work pays off” but rather it is about remembering to allow these energies to flow through us and trust what is emerging. Consciously choosing where we focus our thoughts and dreaming energies is key to the co-creative process. Healthy Pisces serves the Divine through compassionate sacred service. Listening to our inner heart song and imaging that song being joyfully fulfilled in the world of our personal experience, guides and directs us in carrying our personal life message into the world through our example.

Mars (25 Taurus 53) squares Saturn (25 Leo 53) suggesting this is a time to relax and receive the pleasure and beauty of life. This is not a time where we can make things happen by pushing them. If whatever you are doing is not working then let it go for now. Mars often feels frustrated by the time it takes for things to formulate in Saturn’s world. Utilizing the gift Taurus has to embrace the present moment is the key to unlocking the next formulation of the masculine energy that is now learning how to savor and enjoy.

Venus and Saturn in conjunction

June 30 and July 1st, Venus and Saturn are at their closest visual alignment. http://skytonight.com/observing/highlights/5027311.html

Addtional Inportant Note: Recently I learned that Regulus forms a perfect 30-60-90 degree right triangle with two other prominent stars in the sky known as Spica (in the constellation of the Virgin Priestess) and Arcturus (in the constellation of Bootes). Last night, June 30, I was able to Regulus, Venus and Saturn in the west and Jupiter and Antares in the East with Arcturus directly above. You can find Arcturus by following the arc of the handle of the big dipper to the bright red star Arcturus. In fact Arcturus is the fourth brightest fixed star in the sky. These three stars (Antares, Arcturus, and Regulus) are forming a triangle of sorts with Jupiter and Saturn highlighting the two heart stars of Antares and Regulus. I was profoundly impacted by this visual and highly recommend finding a place where you have a view of both horizons. This will be visible during the month of July but Regulus, Venus and Saturn are sinking closer to the horizon by month's end so they will not be visible in August.

To include Spica in this follow a direct line from Arcturus down to the blue star Spica. Remember it is Spica, Arcturus and Regulus that form the perfect 30-60-90 degree right triangle. More to come on this in the August Timings.
