2010 September Celestial Timings by Cayelin K Castell
It is time for the Star Teachings to once again return to Earth,
Time for the Song of Creation to be sung,
Time for the star dances to be danced around the sacred mountains.
As in the heavens, so it will once more be on Earth." http://pagebryant.com/starwritings.html
Exploring Timelines and other Time related mysteries..
Time is an illusive mystery with so many different dimensions and possibilities that go beyond our usual experience of clock time. Most everyone has had unusual experiences of Time, including speeded up time, time that creeps by, time out of time experiences that scientists might explain as a time dilation effect. There can also be bleed through from the past, or future, or other timelines in parallel realities. This most often happens in the dream state but can also happen in waking reality. Some people are so sensitive to the other timelines bleeding through to this one it can create a lot of confusion and difficulty in coping with this reality. The recent movie The Time Traveler’s Wife is a story about someone who is uncontrollably and randomly jumping through time.
Usually time is a linear experience that we have learned to expect. However, time has many multiple layers and dimensions we have yet to understand. There are many science fiction TV shows and movies that have pondered these diverse elements of time and time travel. Some examples are shows like Quantum Leap, Sliders, the Time Tunnel, many episodes of the various Star Trek series and movies, various episodes of the Star Gate series, and more recently the show Flash Forward is dealing with issues of Time. Numerous movies have themes associated with Time. There are too many to list them all but a few are the Back to the Future movies, The Butterfly Effect, The Time Machine, Dr Who, Time Bandits, The Kid with Bruce Willis , Somewhere in Time, and just this summer was The Hot Tub Time Machine.
Those of you who have been reading the Celestial Timings over the years probably know that I am personally fascinated by the mysteries of time. I started asking questions related to how time worked when I was three. When I was six I remember coming home from school wondering what could possibly be the point of living if everything we did instantly became history? My mother says I was very upset and even though she had a metaphysical background she didn't know how to answer my question. Linear time did not make sense to me then and is often still puzzling. I do have "aha' moments but then the strong hold of linear time reasserts itself and I am just left with the memory.
So when Tom Kenyon’s Hathor article landed in my inbox last month I was intrigued. I immediately loved the title “The Art of Jumping Timelines.” I resonated with this intuitively and it seems to confirm some experiences I have had. (You can read about two of them. This link is to an article I wrote in 2007 describing a Time Node experience in Southern France. This link is to a piece I wrote about my time out of time experience in Peru in 2002. Plus, the August 2009 Celestial Timings explored many ap sects of Time including Kairos and Chronos Time, or sacred and linear time. )
Tom Kenyon’s article from the Hathors begins by saying:
Although it may seem paradoxical to some, your timeline—your life—is only one of many simultaneous possibilities. And it is quite possible, indeed it is your birthright, to alter your timeline and the potentials of your life.
Your culture, for various reasons, has hypnotized you into believing that you are limited to one timeline. In this message we shall endeavor to discuss our understanding of timelines and how you can change them.
Whenever there is an increase of chaotic events, there is a convergence of multiple timelines. Due to the fact that your planet has entered a Chaotic Node and is experiencing ever-increasing levels of chaos, there is also an increase in what we call time nodes.
Time nodes occur when two or more timelines converge. As a result of their close proximity oscillation effects sometimes occur when the realities of one timeline bleed through, or are psychically perceived by those on a neighboring timeline. Strong timelines can also literally affect the possibilities and/or probabilities of other timelines within a time node. In other words, creative and novel effects often occur within timelines when they enter a time node (proximity to other timelines). http://tomkenyon.com/jumping-time-lines
I recommend checking out the rest of the article at the above link. It is long but very worth reading. Also, I have interwoven the idea of Jumping Timelines throughout the September Celestial Timings along with some other thoughts about the mysteries of Time. I am also suggesting, for those who would like to have an entertaining experience of Time Travel or Timeline Jumping some of the above movies are fun research. The 1980 movie Somewhere in Time with Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour is a 1980 movie but it has an intriguing example of how to actual Time Travel through focused intention similar to the process the Hathors describe for jumping timelines.
The movie Sliding Doors with Gwyneth Paltrow explores a timeline split and follows the
main character through two different realities based on different choices that her different aspects make. This brings me to Richard Bach’s book One. The book describes Richard's adventures in exploring the different personal Timelines that occurred during important choice points in his life. He was able to track the alternate timelines created by alternate choices that he did not make and he saw how those timelines played out in an alternate reality.
These explorations into various expressions of Time reminds us that all creation, all timelines, all parallel realities exist simultaneously and we have the power to consciously choose the timeline that most resonates with our soul’s purpose. When we learn to master the art of Jumping Timelines we become skilled Time Navigators or Time Travelers navigating the various tides of time. Tom Kenyon’s article gives us clues on how to do that and these September Celestial Timings include a major focus on this topic that offers some additional clues and insights.
September Sky Highlights
Still prominent in the sky is the Summer Triangle formed by Deneb (the tail of the Cygnus the Swan or Northern Cross) and Altair (the eye of the Eagle known as Aquila) and Vega (in the constellation of Lyra and the pole star 13,000 years ago). Cygnus the Swan has a long body with wings outstretched appearing much like a swan in flight, flying toward the Milky Way. Sometimes this constellation is referred to as the Northern Cross and looks very much like a cross in the sky. Aquila, the Eagle is flying toward Cygnus though slightly to the side so they do not look like they will bump into each other but pass by one another. Delphinus the Dolphin is just above and to the East of Altair looking south and further east of there is the Great Square of Pegasus.
Nasa announced on August 19, 2010 that their Dawn spacecraft is less than one year away
from the giant asteroid Vesta and is scheduled to enter orbit around Vesta in late July 2011. Vesta measures 350 miles across and contains nearly 10% of the mass of the entire asteroid belt. This is the largest asteroid to be studied yet. Astronomers already know that at Vesta’s south pole there is a crater with a mountain inside that is bigger than the asteroid Eros. It will be interesting to see what new discoveries Dawn will bring us. After a year of orbiting Vesta, Dawn will go on to orbit the newly designated dwarf planet Ceres.
August 26, 2010: NASA's Kepler spacecraft has discovered the first confirmed planetary system with more than one planet crossing in front of, or transiting, the same star.
The transit signatures of two distinct Saturn-sized planets were seen in the data for a sun-like star designated "Kepler-9." The planets were named Kepler-9b and 9c. The discovery incorporates seven months of observations of more than 156,000 stars as part of an ongoing search for Earth-sized planets outside our solar system. The findings will be published in Thursday's issue of the journal Science.
September 2010 Celestial Timings (all times PDT)
September 01, Wednesday. The waning Last Quarter Moon (9 Gemini) is exact at 10:22 am, and passes 8 degrees N of the eye of the Bull and one of the four royal stars known as Aldebaran at 5:00 pm. This royal star marks a key or access point that opens the pathway beyond our galaxy and the limits of our current Timeline. The Last Quarter Moon is a time for integration and assists in illuminating this pathway when we are tuned in to it. Plus, Gemini is the mystery school intended to take us beyond the limits of duality into the place of total freedom. It may help to remember that the path is not either or. It is not good or bad. It is not yes or no. It is not one or other. Rather it is about embracing it ALL and finding unity within the diversity. Note: Of all the archetypes Gemini is the most likely to easily embrace not only the concept but the practice of jumping timelines as it increases the possibility of greater freedom.
The trio of Venus, Mars and Spica with a look at Saturn near Zaniah
Venus passes 1 degree S.S.W. of Spica (24 Libra) at 7:00 pm PDT. Venus is the sacred star of the High Priestess. Mars is also very close within 3 degrees of Spica and coming into zodiacal alignment with both Spica and Arcturus Sep 4 – 8. Arcturus is a star that has been linked with King Arthur wielder of the sword Excalibur, a famous symbol for leading the people to freedom and victory. Excalibur, is one among many mythic swords that symbolize divine authority, virtue, valor, strength and spiritual evolution.
Another of these mythic symbols is described in the book of Genesis 3:24 as the flaming sword placed in Paradise at the East Gate symbolizing the rising Sun and new beginnings destined to keep the Way of the Tree of Life until the time of our remembering and returning to who we truly are. The Tree of Life is the connecting link between the Heavens and the Earth and the Earth and the Underworld. It is a symbol of unity within diversity reminding us that everything is interconnected. The Sword of Truth, the Sword of Light (the Flaming Sword), the Sword of Freedom and Victory are all symbols of our divine authority cutting the bonds of separation away from our true selves and lighting the path to re-union. This is the Way of the Tree of Life that beckons.
… and (God) placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. (Genesis 3:24 King James version) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+3%3A22-24&version=KJV
September 02, Thursday. The waning Last Quarter Moon is now moving through the center of the Sacred Hoop (0 Cancer) and the Galactic Cross that marks the area of the sky that looks out past the edge of our Galaxy at 11:50 pm. This means the Moon is transmitting inter-galactic vibrational frequencies beaming in from beyond our known galaxy continuing to create shifts in our perception and experience of our personal realities.
These shifts are easier to assimilate when we are conscious about what we think, feel, say, and do, because these are the activities that either support the vibrational energy or not. If what we think, feel, say and do is of a lower vibrational nature it will create greater discomfort with the intent to wake us up so we can consciously make healthier choices. For example, choosing high vibration activities including self-forgiveness, self-care, self-love, and genuine gratitude for the gifts we already have smoothes the way for these higher frequencies to be integrated into our daily lives.
When the Sun, Moon or other planets are crossing the Time Gates of the Solstices or Equinoxes a time portal becomes more accessible for choosing a new timeline going forward. This is especially true now that the Solar Gateways are aligned along the Galactic Plane (Solstices) and the Galactic Poles (Equinoxes). See Equinox article.
Saturn (4 Libra 18) is once again near the fixed star Zaniah (4 Libra 31) within a couple of degrees until the end of the month. (see Sep 1 Star Map) Zaniah is located on the wing or shoulder of the Virgin Priestess and is the sacred star of the Harlot. The original meaning of harlot as it was used in the 13th century described someone (usually a man) who didn’t have a fixed occupation or was someone who was a juggler or jester of either sex. It was around the 17th century the current meaning for harlot came into use to describe a woman prostitute.
Harlot actually comes from the world hierodule (similar root as hierarchy) or priestess. According to Nancy Qualls Corbet in her book The Sacred Prostitute these women were the priestesses trained in the art of sacred sexuality in the temple. This was a sacred training highly honored and respected in the times before the current judgments came into play. For example, the Sumerian mythic telling of Gilagmesh references the “hierodule,” or harlot as a priestess, a holy one, revered and honored. This was part of the hierarchy or class system of those times and these women lived and served in temples dedicated to the goddess.
Saturn passes this star every 29.5 years and retrograded here in January spending many weeks in this area of the sky. Saturn has returned for its last pass and this is a time to note the priestess archetype as she is showing up in current times. She is returning, though she is no longer supported in the Temple, rather, she is quietly re-emerging in the secular world and finding her way back to her sacred work and to her priestess sisters.
With Saturn hanging out near Zaniah this entire month it might be worthwhile to ponder what the original strength and meaning of this star was before the judgment of the patriarchy and the disbanding of the priestesses from the temples? How is Saturn assisting us in formulating a new healthy and empowering relationship with this sacred feminine aspect? How can we choose a new timeline that honors and values the gifts these mysteries have to offer?
September 03, Friday. Retrograde Mercury (10 Virgo) is at interior conjunction with the Sun at 5:35 am marking the center point of the Mercury Retrograde. Based on our new understanding of the Mercury cycle, the new cycle begins on September 12 when Mercury (06 Virgo) stations direct as a morning star in its Apollo phase. Apollo was a God of knowledge, truth, prophecy, music, poetry and art. The Apolloian expression of Mercury has a one-pointed, clear focus. During this phase Mercury will also reach its greatest elongation from the Sun in the morning sky on Sep 19 at 8 Virgo. (See Mercury recorded class info for more)
Mercury’s journey through the Virgo realm highlights the mysteries of Sacred Time and the magical link between the natural cycles and rhythms of Earth and Sky. This includes the idea of “right timing” or “appropriate timing” that is aligned with the natural rhythms of life. Focusing on the mysteries of time fit is a good way to focus the energy of this Apollian phase of Mercury. The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean tell us about the mysteries of time:
Far, through strange spaces, have I journeyed into the depth of the abyss of time, 
learning strange and yet stranger mysteries, until in the end all was revealed. Know ye that mystery is only mystery when it is knowledge unknown to man. When you have plumbed the heart of all mystery, knowledge and wisdom will surely be thine.
Seek ye and learn that Time is the secret whereby ye may be free of this space…
…Once, in a past time, I spoke to the Dweller. Asked of the mystery of time and space. Asked him the question that surged in my being, saying: "O Master, what is time?"
When to me spoke He, the Master: "Know ye, O Thoth, in the beginning there was void and nothingness: a timeless, spaceless, nothingness. And into the nothingness came a thought, purposeful, all-pervading, and It filled the Void. There existed no matter, only force, a movement, a vortex of vibration of the purposeful thought that filled the Void."
And I questioned the Master, saying: "Was this thought eternal?" And answered me the Dweller, saying: "In the beginning, there was eternal thought, and for thought to be eternal, time must exist. So into the all-pervading thought grew the Law of Time. Aye, time which exists through all space, floating in a smooth, rhythmic movement that is eternally in a state of fixation. Time changes not, but all things change in time.
For time is the force that holds events separate, each in its proper place. Time is not in motion, but ye move through time as your consciousness moves from one event to another. Aye, by time ye exist, all in all, an eternal One existence. Know ye that even though in time ye are separate, yet still are One in all times existent." Ceased then the voice of the Dweller, and departed I to ponder on time. For knew I that in these words lay wisdom and a way to explore the mysteries of time. http://www.hiddenmysteries.com/freebook/thoth/thotht10.html
The Moon in zodiacal alignment with Pollux on the edge of the Sacred Hoop
September 04, Saturday. The waning Moon passes 7.8 degrees S.S.W. of Pollux (23 Cancer) at 3:00 pm and exits the Sacred Hoop. The outside ring of the Sacred Hoop is a circle of prominent stars including Pollux, Castor, Capella, the Pleiades, Rigel, Sirius, and Procyon that is intersected by the plane of the Solar System (a.k.a the ecliptic) and the plane of the Galaxy (a.k.a the Milky Way band of stars). This intersection forms a cross and currently it is at the intersection point where zero Cancer or the place the Summer Solstice Sun now rises. The last time the Summer Solstice was located in this area of the sky was 26,000 years ago and it will be 26,000 years before it returns.
What we are choosing now is seeding a 26,000 year timeline and sets us on a new path so why not choose a timeline where we are living the fulfillment of Heaven on Earth?
Venus (26 Libra 54) is trine retrograde Neptune (26 Aquarius 54) adding an otherworldly quality to the energy and easier access to jumping timelines into the New Earth.
September 05, Sunday. The Moon moves into Leo early this morning energizing a time for noticing how accepting you are of yourself and the circumstances of your life. Do you approve of who are? Do you love and celebrate who you are? What do you love about yourself?
Mars passes 2.1 degrees N.N.E. of Spica (24 Libra) around 3:00 pm so will be visible just beyond Spica tonight with Venus nearby. According to the Book Starlight Elixirs and Cosmic Vibrational Healing by Michael Smulkis and Fred Rubenfeld:
Spica has the ability to transfer awareness from the super conscious to the waking conscious mind and can also enhance lucid dreaming states and psychic abilities. Spica strengthens the physical body in the cervical vertebrae of the spine. This is the physical location in the body that symbolizes the separation of body and mind. So Spica creates an interchange between the separated selves assisting in the remembrance that there is ultimately no separation. Thus, Spica helps to bring the principle of oneness more fully into our conscious minds. http://hilarion.com/stars.html
Spica is a Behenian Star whose power is magnified when planets are within 6 degrees of it. (See Sep 10 The extended sacred union of Venus and Mars in the night sky with Spica creates the possibility for greater alchemy in anchoring the principle of oneness more fully into our conscious awareness. Hanging out with them is a great way to tune into this sacred timing and imagine the union of body and mind, soul and spirit, masculine and feminine…It is as simple as being opening to receive the light codes coming to Earth from Spica via Mars and Venus.
September 06, Monday. Labor Day. This would have been my Mother’s 77th birthday. She died August 18, 1998. Her remarkable conscious death and the gifts she gave me and many others through her courage are captured in this story.
Retrograde Mercury is zodiacally linked with the fixed star Alioth (AL-ee-oth) in the constellation of Ursa Major, a.k.a the Big Dipper, (8 Virgo). It is the first star in the handle of the big dipper and in some renditions forms the beginning of the tail of the bear. Plus, the Sun is coming into zodiacal alignment (today and tomorrow) with Mizar the middle star of the dipper’s handle. This constellation is in the Northern part of the sky and is not affected visually by the Sun’s passage through these degrees. So you can look up tonight and see the Big Dipper and these stars. Mercury is with the Sun on the ecliptic so Mercury is not visible at this time.
This map gives you the image of the Sun and Mercury on the ecliptic in zodiacal alignment with the Dipper
The Big Dipper or Plough as it is also referred to helps locate the North Star or Pole Star known as Polaris. This constellation assists in guiding those who travel by night. The light codes emanating from this area of the sky are about guiding or directing our journey even in the times that seem darkest. Mercury and the Sun zodiacally aligned with Alioth and Mizar marks an opportunity for tuning into the messages that are being illuminated for our personal and collective guidance. http://www.constellationsofwords.com/stars/Stars_alphabet.htm
September 07, Tuesday. The waning crescent Moon passes 4.4 degrees S.S.W. of Regulus (29 Leo) at 1:00 am and 1.7 degrees S. of Mercury (78Virgo) at 2:13 pm just hours before the New Moon exact early tomorrow morning. (see August 2010 Archives for more about Regulus) Also the Moon is at perigee (closest to the Earth) at 9:00 pm just six and a half hours before the exact Virgo New Moon. A perigee New or Full Moon marks a time when tides tend to be higher than normal and weather more intense.
As mentioned in the July 2010 Timings, the Moon is just as important for life on Earth as is the Sun. It is also fascinating to consider the astronomical improbability of a planet with only one Sun and one Moon and both appear to be the same size as the Earth and can be eclipsed. This phenomenon occurs because even though the Earth’s Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun, the Sun is 400 times further from Earth than the Moon. Also, it turns out that our Moon is generating an electro-magnetic field for the Earth protecting life from being bombarded by cosmic rays that would destroy life as we know it. There are speculations that go so far as to suggest that our Moon may have been engineered to assure life on Earth by an advanced race eons ago.
http://www.book-of-thoth.com/article1735.html this is an interesting speculation on the origins of Moon etc. http://keelynet.com/unclass/luna.htm
Contemplating the mysteries of the Moon and what that means for you in this Virgo New Moon perigee when the Moon is closest to the Earth is a way to engage thoughts, ideas and speculations that stretch beyond our everyday ordinary thinking. With Mercury slowing down to go direct on September 12 there is no better time to consider the mysterious workings of the cosmos, the mysteries of time and space, and our place within the greater patterning of life. Thoth describes his contemplation of time in the Emerald Tablets:
… Then sought I to solve the mystery of time. Found I that time moves through strange angles. Yet only by curves could I hope to attain the key that would give me access to the time-space. Found I that only by moving upward and yet again by moving to right-ward could I be free from the time of this movement.
Forth I came from out of my body, moved in the movements that changed me in time. Strange were the sights I saw in my journeys, many the mysteries that opened to view. Aye, saw I man's beginning, learned from the past that nothing is new.
Seek ye, O man, to learn the pathway that leads through the spaces that are formed forth in time. http://www.hiddenmysteries.com/freebook/thoth/thotht10.html
September 08, Wednesday. The New Moon (15 Virgo 41) is exact at 3:30 am. Venus moves into Scorpio at 8:45 am. Retrograde Jupiter moves into Pisces at 9:51 pm. The Virgo New Moon is a time for energizing the seeds of change that honor and revere the sacred expression of life. The Virgo mysteries are all about being in harmony with the patterning of life contained within the natural codes of knowledge located in our DNA. This includes being in harmony with the cycles and rhythms that helps us to know what time it is for us.
Engaging in Living Ceremony and working with the imagery of co-weaving the web with Spider Woman or the Norse imagery of the Norns is one way to engage this New Moon time.
In Norse mythology the web, or pattern of life, was known as ‘wyrd’ an Anglo-Saxo word for the unseen influences that create our reality. The weavers of this wyrd (or web) were the Norns known by the names of Urd, Skuld and Verdandi loosely associated with past, present and future respectively.
Urd or the guardian of a bottomless well symbolizes the primal source of all unmanifest potential that creation arises from and then returns too, also known as the field of all possibilities. Urd is credited with being the weaver of the past.
Skuld is translated as “should”, meaning that we can gather that most of what is to come is based on what has been or what has already happened. Another way to say it is, if you plant seeds of corn you “should” have a crop of corn as a result. However, that also depends on having the right soil, water, and sunlight and the absence of a destructive hail storm or locusts or something else that might destroy the crop. What “should” be comes from surmising what “should” happen based on prior events, but that is not a guarantee. In the simplest form Skuld is seen as the weaver of the future.
Verdandi is what is manifesting in the present moment or coming into being now.
In the realm of Wyrd then Urd describes what we can’t see or perceive. It is unmanifest potential. Verdani is what we can see and experience directly as it is what is manifesting now. And Skuld is the future that we anticipate through logic, intuition and divination. These are the strands or weavings of the Wyrd or the Web that connect us all. We influence the 
web and the web influences us. Everything everyone does affects everything and everyone within the web of life throughout all the timelines and parallel realities.
These threads weave the intricate patterns and timelines that are constantly shifting and changing as new patterns are woven based on our conscious participation with what is unfolding. The intersection of timelines means our future is not set and we have choice points where we can jump into a new pattern and become an intricate part of a weaving that is of our choice. This also means we can positively influence all other timelines as they too are evolving toward the ONE.
Venus moves into Scorpio where she remains until January 7, 2011 due to her retrograde traveling through the archetypal realm of the Shaman Sorceress Witch (original meaning of witch was knowledgeable or wise one) or any of the Goddesses of alchemy and regeneration such as Kali, Hecate, Pele, Cerridwen, the Cretan Snake Goddess etcetera. This is another opportunity for renewing the authority and power of the divine feminine. Look for much more about this in future Celestial Timings.
Here is a table to find out the sign Jupiter was in when you were born and when your next Jupiter return begins.
September 09, Thursday. Rosh Hashanah, the first day of the Jewish year. Each Jewish day begins as the Sun sets. This is similar to other cultures such as certain Native American tribes who sing to the setting Sun and step into the new day after the Sun disappears beyond the horizon. The Jewish New Year begins at Sunset with the first appearance of the tiny crescent New Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox. That is happening tonight.
The Moon moves into Libra in the early morning hours just prior to passing 7 degrees SSW of Saturn (5 Libra) around 10 am Pacific time meaning the Moon will be visible beyond Saturn tonight. This also opens the window of the Moon’s meeting with Mars late tomorrow night around 10:16 pm Pacific and with Venus on Sep 11 at 5:54 am Pacific Time. This is a time for considering the practical ideals of conscious equal relationships. What kind of relationships do you want in your life? What kind of a friend or partner are you? I love Oprah Winfrey’s comment that sums up her thoughts on a genuine relationship:
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. ~Oprah Winfrey
Mars (26 Libra 46) trines Neptune (26 Aquarius 46) a time when the sacred masculine can access the celestial realms within the field of all possibilities - furthering the ideals of conscious equal partnership in ways that are also partnered with spirit.
The Moon, Venus, Mars and Spica...worth seeing if you have clear skies
September 10, Friday. The waxing Moon passes 2.8 degrees S.S.W. of Spica (24 Libra) at 5:00 pm and 4.8 degrees S.S.W. of Mars (27 Libra 31) at 10:16 pm. The Moon, Spica, and Mars are visible within a 5 degree circle of diameter at about 9:00 pm. Venus is about 3 degrees from Mars adding to the spectacular line up around this Behenian Star that the alchemists noted as having greater strength and power when a planet was within 6 degrees of them.
Note: Venus was within 6 degrees of Spica from August 25 to Sep 9 but is still close enough to Mars to have an influence today. Mars is within 6 degrees of Spica from August 27 to September 15. The Moon is within 6 degrees of Spica from about 7 am today to 3:30 am tomorrow Pacific Time.
September 11, Saturday. The waxing Moon passes .56 degrees S.E. of Venus (2 Scorpio)
at 5:54 am at the 7th gate and is occulting Venus visible in Eastern Brazil, the South Atlantic Ocean, SW Africa, and the Southern Indian Ocean. At the first Venus Moon conjunction of the current Venus cycle that began on April 22, 2009 the Moon also occulted Venus and Venus was conjunct Mars as she released her crown or 7th chakra symbol on her journey into the underworld. Now, as Venus reaches the last gate in her return journey where she retrieves her crown, she is again occulted by the Moon and conjunct Mars. It is rare to have two similar events that happened at the beginning of the Venus journey also happening at the end.
The image that comes to mind is a bending of time to connect these two otherwise linear points. Bending time is another ways to access an easier timeline jump. In this case it may be helpful to think back to April 22, 2009 and infuse that moment with an intention to successfully engage this Venus journey, filling in all the spaces between with that intention. Then take a moment to consciously choose to retrieve your own fully activated crown chakra…
This is especially suggested for anyone who has turned or will turn a multiple of 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88 etc between April 3, 2009 and Nov 4, 2010 as you are in a personal Venus return cycle. This mean Venus returns or has returned to the sign and degree of your birth near your birthday on the multiple of 8 year.
Again, this gate marks the completion of Inanna’s return from the underworld as she retrieves her crown, referred to as the Shugurra, the crown of the steppe. The Shugurra crown symbolizes Inanna’s connection to her divinity and her passage through the Gate of Divine Authority. The Crown also symbolizes the 7th chakra also known as the thousand petalled lotus crown that links to the limbic area of the brain where a thousand nerves are visible when a transverse section of the brain is cut. Shri Sahasra-dala-padmastha Devi says this is the area of the brain that looks like a closed lotus bud before self-Realization occurs. http://www.adishakti.org/subtle_system/sahasrara_chakra.htm
Other traditions consider the thousand petalled lotus to be above all the Gods and Goddesses, where nature exists without division, duality disappears and the great mysteries of life are all resolved.
Activating the crown chakra is also thought to be connecting to the union of "Shakti" (the feminine principle) with "Shiva" (the masculine principle) and as Venus goes through this gate she has been in sacred union with Mars for the past few weeks.
This is a powerful time to activate your own 7th chakra and inner sacred union with the divine feminine and divine masculine. This can be done through intention and attention to the 7th chakra. You may already have personal practices that would be useful now like chanting OM, working with the Violet Flame, doing pranayama or any type of breathing or other practices that draw your attention and breath to your crown chakra. Remember, as the crown chakra opens the mysteries of life, the universe, and time are resolved suggesting this is another opportunity for mastering the art of jumping timelines.
The cresent Moon is in the Scales on its way to meet with Antares
September 12, Sunday. Mercury stations direct (5 Virgo 22) at 4:09 pm PDT and is visible 5.6 degrees S.E. of Regulus (29 Leo) at 5:00 am. Mercury remains within the degrees of the retrograde until September 27 when it passes 19 Virgo 02 or the degree of its retrograde station on August 20. The Mercury station or portal is where the transformational messenger bridges this world with non-ordinary worlds. This infinity point is where sacred knowledge is more easily accessed through intention for the next few days. Mercury begins its new cycle in the Appollian phase and remains in Virgo until October 03 accessing the mysteries of the sacred pattern of life and sacred time as described by Thoth in more from the Emerald Tablets. (see Sep 03)
Once I stood in the Halls of Amenti and heard the voice of the Lords of Amenti, saying in tones that rang through the silence, words of power, mighty and potent. Chanted they the song of the cycles, the words that opened the path to beyond. Aye, I saw the great path opened and looked for an instant into the beyond. Saw I the movements of the cycles, vast as the thought of the Source could convey.
Knew I then that even Infinity is moving on to some unthinkable end. Saw I that the Cosmos is Order and part of a movement that extends to all space, a part of an Order of Orders, constantly moving in a harmony of space. Saw I the wheeling of cycles like vast circles across the sky. Knew I then that all that has being is growing to meet yet other being in a far-off grouping of space and of time. Knew I then that in Words are power to open the planes that are hidden from man. Aye, that even in Words lies hidden the key that will open above and below. http://www.hiddenmysteries.com/freebook/thoth/thotht10.html
September 13, Monday. Pluto (2 Capricorn 47) stations Direct at 9:36 pm. Although the t-square is separating and Jupiter and Uranus have now moved into late Pisces we are still very much in the energy of powerful change in the Householder realm that governs family, relationships, community and how we are all interconnected.
The seemingly increasing sense of separation between the very rich and the working class now enslaved by high rents, high mortgages, high health care costs and high costs of living in many parts of the world, cannot be sustained indefinitely. Indeed, many astrologers have been predicting the collapse of these inflated and unrealistic systems for months. Yet, it doesn’t seem to have brought the elite to their knees…yet…at least not when I was writing this. So far…the news is full of stories about the rich getting richer at the expense of the working class.
However, the wealthy elite class cannot ultimately escape the effects of their greed and enslavement to profits at the expense of the environment and the welfare of all who live here. They are living within the same wyrd or web and every strand of that web is interconnected to every other strand. (See Sep 8)
The process of natural law, Pluto’s law, will ultimately prevail, even though it seems that would have happened already - the reminder is we cannot fully comprehend the timing or the ways of the Under World.
So as Pluto stations and we experience a pause or a still point moment the question to be with is: are we in integrity with how we are showing up in the world? Are we embracing our fears and making healthier choices?
With the Mercury station yesterday and Pluto today this is a time to be gentle and aware as the still point portal effect is multiplied exponentially. This means the potential for consciously jumping timelines into the New Earth is also multiplied provided we have faced our fears, are pure in our heart’s intent and are fully willing to embrace responsibility for our personal experience. http://www.celestialtimings.com/articles/pluto_09_11.html
The Moon moves into Sagittarius at 5:52 am PDT transmitting the mysteries associated with the quest for enlightenment and passes 2.3 degrees NNW Of Antares (10 Sag) at 10:00 pm PDT, the heart of the Scorpion and the golden key to the pathway that leads to the sacred center of our Galaxy. In some cultures Antares has been viewed as the heart of the 
Dragon. The Chinese see Antares as the Azure Dragon with the Dragon’s tail extended to touch the Milky Way or the Path of Light. This Dragon was seen as emerging from the Milky Way and descending to Earth as a powerful guardian and symbol of majestic wisdom and abundant blessings. These are the light codes beaming to us as the Moon passes this Behenian star.
September 14, Tuesday. The waxing First Quarter Moon (22 Sag 18) is exact at 10:50 pm. This First Quarter Moon is in zodiacal alignment with the fixed star Rasalhague (a.k.a. Ras al Hawwa, the Head of the Serpent-charmer) and marks the crown chakra of Ophiuchus, the Serpent-Bearer, a shamanic healer who has mastered the life force energy as symbolized by the snake he holds in his hands. The Greeks associated Ophiuchus with Aesculapius, a famous Physician taught by Chiron and he was known to have mastered the art of renewal (as a snake sheds its skin) and resurrection having witnessed a great snake revive its dead partner with a special herb.
This is also the area of the sky where Terzan Z, a black hole at the core of a globular cluster, is located just above the Scorpion's stinger. Plus, this is also near the minor stars of Hercules, a super strong hero. This First Quarter Moon then is illuminating a potent area of the sky where we can access the ancient healing wisdom that restores, revives, and renews. The light codes associated with these stars are also linked with revealing hidden mysteries for the purpose of experiencing greater expansion of truth and meaning.
With Venus now having passed through the 7th gate, retrieving her crown chakra and connection to the divine this first quarter Moon activating the crown chakra of the serpent bearer, helps to further assist that process. Using your powers of visualization and thinking big this is another gateway for jumping into the Timeline of the New Earth.
Mars moves into Scorpio at 3:38 pm traveling through this area of the sky until October 28, 2010. Mars enters Scorpio every couple of years. The last two times Mars entered Scorpio was on October 4, 2008 and October 23, 2006. In 2006 Mars was also conjunct the Sun. This time Mars is an evening star and will not begin his underworld journey until around December 2 when at that time Mars is at 25 Sagittarius and comes within 15 degrees of the Sun at 10 Sagittarius.
As Mars goes through Scorpio he is learning about the shamanic ways including death, rebirth, and regeneration and the importance of surrender to these forces, while releasing attachments to this corporeal (physical) reality. These are the teachings of the Shaman Sorcerer who is learning to master the in-between worlds place that when aligned with spirit is for the purpose of bringing spirit into matter for an orgasmic ecstatic experience. Scorpio then is an archetype that has the power to master the timelines and work with them in ways that are about creating shamanic healing so all the timelines are empowered to reach their divine destiny.
The shadow of Scorpio focuses on having power over others rather than being in the flow of power for its own sake without attachment to the outcome.
September 15, Wednesday. The waxing Moon is conjunct Pluto (2 Capricorn 47) at 6:52 pm near Galactic Center located between the constellation of the Scorpion just in front of the tip of the arrow of the Archer. It seems there is an element of cosmic humor expressed in how the archer’s arrow points the way to the center of our galaxy. Scientists have 
concluded that Galactic Center is a black hole and they also theorize that black holes are gateways (or wormholes) to parallel dimensions. Theoretically, these wormholes are interstellar passages or pathways (a.k.a. star gates) that allow for nearly instant intergalactic travel. The Moon with Pluto near Galactic Center suggests there is a direct As Above link to the Galactic Gateway. It is up to us to tune in and connect.
September 16, Thursday. Both retrograde Chiron (26 Aquarius 35) and Neptune (27 Aquarius 15) are still traveling within one degree of each other and will continue in close range for the next several weeks. Anyone who has planets or angles between 26 degrees Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus and Zero degrees Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius is currently experiencing a Chiron and Neptune initiation simultaneously activating both the Under World initiation energies that require surrender and the Celestial World initiation energies that ask us to trust the bigger picture even though we have no idea what that might be.
We are in unknown territory and unlike the aspect of wyrd or the web that is able to deduce what might happen based on what has already happened we are most likely to be in for unexpected surprises especially if we are attached to what we think that might be.
September 17, Friday. The Sun approaches opposition with both Jupiter and Uranus (both retrograde at 28 Pisces), exact on September 21. Uranus represents radical revolutionary energy and Jupiter is the principle of expansion. Visionary leader, Patricia Diane Cota Robles, founder of New Age Studies for Humanity eloquently summed up the Uranian influence now being magnified by Jupiter when she said:
Never in recorded history has radical, revolutionary, overnight change been more possible, and never has Humanity’s collective shift into Divine Consciousness been more probable. Miraculous changes are daily and hourly taking place within every man, woman and child. As we each, with clear intent, consciously focus on both our personal and planetary Transfiguration, our victory is assured. http://www.1spirit.com/eraofpeace
September 18, Saturday. The Moon moves into Aquarius just after mid-night PDT energizing the Aquarian humanitarian ideals that are intended to inspire the breakdown of old restrictive systems breaking through to new more expanded states of awareness.
Retrograde Jupiter passes .81 degrees S.S.E. of retrograde Uranus (28 Pisces 43) at 6:03 pm marking an exact zodiacal conjunction. (see Sep 17) This last pass of Uranus through Pisces with Jupiter is about amplifying the potential to create a massive assemblage point shift from the Celestial Realm of Pure Love also expressed as Grace.
Pure Love or Grace has the power to instantly and magically transform our present holographic field so we can consciously jump timelines into a New Earth that is founded in love.
September 19, Sunday. Mercury (9 Virgo) is at its greatest elongation in the morning sky (18 degrees from the Sun) meaning this is the furthest from the Sun Mercury will reach in its morning star phase. This means Mercury has stretched as far as currently possible in apprehending the intricacies of the patterns of law, magic, light, knowledge and wisdom as suggested below in the Emerald Tablets. (a.k.a Appollian Phase) See September 3, 5, 10
Here ye and listen, O my children. Magic is knowledge and only is Law. Be not afraid 
of the power within thee for it follows Law as the stars in the sky.
Know ye that to he without knowledge, wisdom is magic and not of the Law. But know ye that ever ye by your knowledge can approach closer to a place in the Sun.
List ye, my children, follow my teaching. Be ye ever seeker of Light. Shine in the world of men all around thee, a Light on the path that shall shine among men.
Follow ye and learn of my magic. Know that all force is thine if thou wilt. Fear not the path that leads thee to knowledge, but rather shun ye the dark road. http://www.hiddenmysteries.com/freebook/thoth/thotht10.html
September 20, Monday. The waxing Moon passes close by retrograde Neptune (26 Aquarius 30) then retrograde Chiron (27 Aquarius 05). It is worth noting that Chiron moved into Pisces earlier this year and is now making its last pass into Aquarius for nearly 50 years.
The Philosopher's Stone is known for its magical ability to change base elements into gold and transforming poisons into medicine. Chiron’s nearly 5 year journey through Aquarius has further ignited humanity’s collective Shamanic Journey intended to transform past wounds born out of limiting and restrictive cultural beliefs based in the premise that we are less than divine. Chiron in Aquarius is about reminding us of our divinity and the higher states of conscious that are naturally ours to experience. This is intended to transform the poison of these limits and restrictions so they become the medicine we carry providing us with support in fully knowing and expressing our true divine nature. Neptune provides access to the field of all possibilities also known as the field of dreams. It is through our dreaming the new dream this becomes a manifest reality.
Uranus and Jupiter are reaching their annual perigee (closest point to the Earth) at 1:27 pm and 2:30 pm PDT. This perigee (closest approach to the Earth and is occurring three days before the Full Moon on Sep 23.
Sep 20, Monday. The 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’s 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 and inner intuitive listening that takes cues from the external world but is ultimately acting from an inner place of knowing.
As we approach the Sep 22 Equinox it may be helpful to connect with these words from The Legend Of Altazar by The Hermit Of The Crystal Cave n.k.a Solara. 
My beloveds, back at the beginning of time, certain native and natural peoples were given the task of holding the world in balance. At various locations, scattered about the planet, vortices or pillars of light were anchored deeply within the Earth. These ancient peoples, such as the Hopi, Tibetans, Ainu, and Dogon, have served their sacred purpose well throughout the ages.
However, while initially each vortex was held and maintained by a unified tribal group working together and sharing their common responsibility, such is no longer the case. Numerous of these tribal groups have disappeared from the face of the planet, making the weight greater on those who have remained. Even the groups who have managed to survive are no longer united in common purpose, indeed, many of them are beset by internal and external pressures and strife. The pillars which hold this planet in balance have grown extremely precarious and crumbly indeed.
What must be done is new energy vortices “should” be established and activated. They need to manifest on this physical plane in order for this planet to survive. But I ask you, where are the dedicated ones ready to function as the anchors of the new vortices? See you not that this is an important part of your Purpose in being alive during this momentous time?”
This Map shows the waxing Moon approaching Jupiter and Uranus
September 21, Tuesday. Retrograde Jupiter (28 Pisces 23) is opposite the Sun (28 Pisces 23) at 1:04 am, and retrograde Uranus (28 Pisces 36) is opposite the Sun (28 Virgo 36) at 9:58 am marking the center point of the retrograde cycle for both these planets. Tonight with a low horizon one theoretically could see the Sun set in the west and Jupiter rise in the east near the same time similar to what happens at the time of the Full Moon. This Full Moon effect is happening for both Jupiter and Uranus just before their exact alignment tomorrow, magnifying the possibility for unexpected events of extreme novelty designed to shift our current collective assemblage point. These events can be quiet revelations that may not seem like much in the moment but forever alter reality as we know it. Or they can be cataclysmic events designed to be a wakeup call that alters our reality through disruption and chaos.
Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces are emphasizing self-less service, mystical union, devotional surrender, and the visionary dreamer who is dreaming the dream onward. This isn’t about trying to change what IS but rather rolling with the flow of changes that are intended to further our evolution.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path 1981
September 22, Wednesday. Autumn Equinox. The Sun passes 0 Libra at 8:09 pm, marking the exact moment of the Equinox. (see Sep 21 and Equinox Article) The waxing Moon passes 6.5 degrees N.N.W. Of Jupiter (28 Pisces) at 10:05 pm and 5.7 degrees N. N.W. of Uranus (28 Pisces) at 10:52 pm. Jupiter is at its brightest appearance in its nearly 12 year cycle in this Full Moon window...the Moon near Jupiter will be spectacular to witness.
The Autumnal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere is one of the four major solar time gates of the year. The Equinox gates mark the time of balance between day and night. Connecting with places on the land you are drawn to for the purpose of observing either the sunrise or sunset on this day is a way to participate in living ceremonial relationship with this significant time.
Taking time to be with the Sun passing through this Solar Gateway can also feed and inspire our own sense of the sacred link between the land and the sky. It is time we again remember that the land and the sky have a magical relationship and they act to remind us of the ancient mysteries, the ancient wisdom, the ancient knowing that guided the ancient ones. This is our heritage and what is encoded in our DNA if we are willing to take the time to be witness and to walk through the doorway of remembrance and knowing.
Galactic Shamanism is…
When day kisses night…and there is DAWN,
When night kisses day…and there is DUSK,
When past and future merge and
Ceremony in the NOW…the Present,
Only to present the gift
Of the knowledge of the Kingdom of NOW

September 23, Thursday. Full Moon (0 Aries 15) at 2:17 am. This is the first of two Aries Full Moon’s. The next one is October 22 at 6:37 pm Pacific Time at 29 Aries 33. This also means there will be four Full Moon’s between now and the Winter Solstice and that is the original definition of a Blue Moon. (See Article)
This map shows the Full Moon near Jupiter
The Aries Full Moon illuminates the mysteries of the committed warrior who is willing to stand for or fight for something they believe in or they feel is a just and worthy cause. Action is the Aries way. The key to success for Aries is through committed, inspired action that supports a noble cause or purpose.
The lion headed Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet provides useful images helping us grasp these mysteries. Primarily, Sekhmet is actively committed to upholding and maintaining the law of Maat (sacred cosmic law). The most common version of Sekhmet’s story describes her as the daughter of Ra, the feminine eye of the Sun, sent to Earth by Ra to restore balance and order among the people, destroying the imbalance so something new can occur. Sekhmet is derived from Sekhem, an ancient Egyptian word meaning “power”. Thus, Sekhmet carries the power to transform through action.
In the ancient Egyptian wisdom teachings SA SEKHEM SAHU is the mantra of Sekhmet. This mantra connects to the transformative power of the breath to transform life. SA is the breath of life. SAHU is the fully realized human being and SEKHEM is sacred power.
Sahu is also known as the Light Body that has the ability to hold the highest frequencies necessary to experience expanded states of consciousness in physical form. This excerpt from Tom Kenyon’s Hathor Message about jumping timelines may help with an understanding of the power of this mantra to assist in jumping to a New Earth timeline and the ascension process.
From an energetic standpoint, the ascension process begins when your life force, called Sekhem by the ancient Egyptians, begins its ascent up the Djed, or sacred pathway of the chakras. This is ascension in its simplest form. It is the expansion of consciousness and awareness. As your life force enters your higher brain centers and as your KA body becomes energized, you enter another phase of ascension. At this phase, you begin to metabolize light itself. By light we refer to spiritual light, a light that exists in the spiritual realms. This light feeds the KA body and increases its vibration. When the KA body reaches a certain amplitude, or strength of vibration, without wavering, it ignites with a type of etheric fire, turning it into the SAHU, or Immortal Energy Body. This could be viewed as one of the final stages of this particular form of ascension. But what we wish to make very clear is that any movement upward in consciousness and movement of life force up the djed, regardless of the method used, is part of the ascension process. http://tomkenyon.com/jumping-time-lines
September 24, Friday. Mars (7 Scorpio) and Venus (10 Scorpio) are moving toward their second exact conjunction on October 3 and are now just a little over 3 degrees from each other in the early evening sky. Venus is now slowing down for her retrograde station on October 8. This is why Venus and Mars are spending such a long time together in the evening sky with time to enjoy and savor their sacred union. In October of 2006 Venus and Mars joined together in Scorpio with the Sun or source – sourcing a new way of expressing conscious equal partnership. Now 4 years later they are joining together in Scorpio in the evening sky.
This is a time for fully experiencing the power and passion of the sacred feminine and 
sacred masculine as conscious equals in their ability to run the life force energy for the purpose of deepening their relationship. Our external relationships are mirroring to us clues about how we are doing with this process in our internal reality.
The shadow aspect of this brings to mind the sorcerer’s duel in the Disney movie the Sword and the Stone. The dual was between Merlin and Madam Mim. Each used their power to try and dominate the other. Finally Madam Mim turns herself into a fearsome dragon and it seems Merlin has lost the duel, until he turns himself 
into a virus and gives the dragon a sickness that shows up in the form of spots much like measles. This completely put out the dragon’s fire. However, healthy Scorpio is not about gaining power over the other but rather engaging the other in ways that enhance the power of both to feel ever increasing ecstasy and bliss.
September 25, Saturday. The Sun (2 Libra 50) squares Pluto (2 Capricorn 50) at 5:26 pm indicating that Pluto is gaining momentum in its forward movement since its direct station on Sep 13/14. The seeds of the New Earth Phoenix are rising from the ashes of the fears and beliefs that sustained the structures of the Old Earth. The old systems and beliefs must die to make way for what is newly birthing. There is no judgment of right or wrong or good or bad but rather it is simply time for the change of seasons, the plants to die and make room for new growth.
This may be scary as we are required to let go of what has been before we can embrace what is becoming and there is a space between the two that can feel like an empty void. However, as in all natural processes - even if we resist with all that we are - the Sun will set on the day that is and later rise on a new day regardless of any human attempts to stop it. For those who have planets or angles between 2 and 4 degrees of Householder signs (Capricorn, Cancer, Aries, Libra) your Pluto initiation is reaching an end and a new birth is imminent provided you have successfully surrendered to the death process. (Great Article that explains more)
September 26, Sunday. Pluto (3 Capricorn) is about to encounter the North Node (7 Capricorn) as the Nodes of the Moon move backward through the signs. Their exact conjunction will be November 9 at 3 Capricorn 26. The power of this alignment is already being felt as Pluto will go retrograde next year at almost 8 Capricorn. It is only about every 19 years that the nodes will encounter Pluto. So for those who are currently in a Pluto cycle with planets or angles near this degree you are also experiencing a point of destiny converging with Pluto’s power to annihilate all that stands in the way. For those who resist this process it may feel like the rug is pulled out from under you and that everything is immensely chaotic and going badly. However, out of the chaos comes a new world that is often far more beautiful than what you had previously imagined.
If you are currently in a nodal return this is also a highly significant time. Anyone who has their North Node in Capricorn (South Node in Cancer) meaning your date of birth is located in one of the time frames on the table below you are probably still in your Nodal Return. The North Node moved into Capricorn on August 21, 2009 and leaves Capricorn on March 04, 2011. (Link to this table will help you discover your own Nodal cycle)
The Nodal return lasts from the time the Nodes return to their original position until the Sun/Moon return at the birthday. The Sun/Moon return occurs on the 19th, 38th, 57th, 66th, 75th , 84th or 103rd birthday. For example, if you are 18 and beginning your Nodal Return it will last until your 19th birthday, if you are 55 and the Nodes have returned, this window lasts until your 57th birthday. The Nodal Return is one of the most important Timings that occurs on the Timeline of life, as this is where magic can happen if we are aligned with our life purpose and are consciously engaging the cycle.
September 27, Monday. Mercury (20 Virgo) has reached the Guardian of the Crossroads
phase in its current cycle having passed the degree of its retrograde station. This phase lasts until October 4 when Mercury descends into the underworld and begins its psychopomp phase.
The waning Moon passes 1.5 degrees SSW of the Pleiades (29 Taurus) around 9:00 pm Pacific visible in Argentina and Southern Chili. It will be 13 years or 2023 before the next series of Moon occultations over the Pleiades begins. http://www.lunar-occultations.com/iota/pleiades/pleiades.htm
When the Moon occults (or covers a star or planet) it accelerates the energy associated with that area of the sky creating a direct transmission or link from the Stars to the Earth via the Moon. Note: The crop circle at the cross road image above is featured in image below.
The Ark of the Christos by William Henry reminds us that the Pleiades star cluster is connected to Atlantis evidenced in part by one of the stars named Atlas now located at zero Gemini. Mythically, Atlas is the father of the Hyades and the Pleiades. His job was to hold up the weight of the heavens on his shoulders. Atlas is translated in star lore as Atlantides or Atlantis. Additionally, The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean preserve the mysteries of Alchemy through hieroglyphic symbols that when understood give the initiate the ability to control their destiny through expanded states of consciousness.
Thoth the Atlantean is the guardian at the Crossroads and the originator of the Emerald Tablets and was said to have “possessed all secret knowledge on 36,535 scrolls that were hidden under the heavenly vault (the sky).” Henry’s research led him to discover that this knowledge was projected into a “Thought Sphere” or as Jung referred to it the “collective unconscious”. Henry suggests in more modern terms it could be called the “Cosmic Internet” citing an ancient Egyptian translation of Thoth as “the lord of the Net”.
The Ark of the Christos proposes that the Cosmic Internet, the book of life, the book of knowledge, the book of wisdom, or the doorway to heaven, is encoded in our DNA. Henry reminds us of the prophet Daniel in the old testament who was told to “shut up the words, and seal the book, until the time of the end…when knowledge shall increase.” We are in the time of rapidly increasing knowledge like never before. The Moon occultations over the Pleiades are revealing the encoded knowledge already in our DNA (or Hall of Records) when we are open to receive it. The Moon is a transmitter creating a direct connection to the Cosmic Internet where this secret knowledge is stored. All we need do is be open and willing to tune in and see what is there for us.
This map is of the Moon above Aldebaran
September 28, Tuesday. The waning Moon passes Aldebaran (9 Gemini 49) at 5:40 pm. Certain esoteric understandings suggest Aldebaran is linked with the original genetic coding that allowed for the experience of free will here on planet Earth. When the Moon is with Aldebaran it is a time for consciously choosing to continue to co-create the experience of Heaven on Earth through our intention to more fully activate our inherent genetic codes that are already resonant with this reality. Aldebaran is the key to the pathway that leads beyond our Galaxy. http://hilarion.com/stars.html
September 29, Wednesday. Today we enter the Last Quarter Cancer Moon window exact tomorrow at 8:52 pm around 8 Cancer. This means the waning half full Moon is visible overhead at Sunrise and sets around mid-day. Any last Quarter Moon represents a time to integrate the lessons learned from the previous cycle and to let go of whatever does not serve healthy movement into the new cycle.
This is a time that may benefit from reflecting on our feelings and what we really want and need – as opposed to thinking our way through it. In a world that seems to base value and worth on how much we produce it is easy to forget that our greatest value comes from that fact that we exist and that is more than enough. In fact, it is perfect and we are perfect when we are not comparing ourselves to some external and often impossible standard. (See September 2 for more about the Time Gates)
This map is of the Moon crossing over the Galactic Cross
September 30, Thursday. The waning Last Quarter Moon (7 Cancer 52) is at 8:52 pm. (See Sep 2 and 29)
The Sun conjuncts Saturn (7 Libra 45) at 5:42 pm. This is similar to a New Moon effect as Saturn joins with the central source of our solar system from the Earth’s perspective. In addition to Saturn being with the Sun today Saturn is also now furthest from the Earth on the other side of the Sun in its annual cycle.
This is a time for re-evaluating the current forms of partnership and relationship and to consider what new forms would facilitate more fulfilling relationships. It helps to be willing to take personal responsibility for the quality of relationships we are having and do the deep inner work to face any fears or inadequacies we have. If these fears are not processed they will certainly get unexpectedly triggered by someone we encounter so we will have an opportunity to look at them and hopefully make a healthier choice. This is about determining what works and what doesn’t work in relationship and then being willing to let go of what doesn’t work so there is room for a new healthier relationship form to emerge.
This is the Map of where Sun and Saturn are though not visible because of course the Sun is there.
