Dear Friends,
Keep
your spiritual seat belt fastened; we’re experiencing another wave of
solar flares, as well as a series of major astrological shifts.
According to spaceweather.com: “A
double CME (coronal mass ejection) hit Earth's magnetic field on June
16th. The impact strongly compressed Earth's magnetosphere, exposing
geosynchronous satellites to solar wind plasma and sparking more than 24
hours of geomagnetic storms.” And from researcher Mitch Battros (www.EarthChangesMedia.com): “Solar
Cycle 24 has begun - and it has been predicted by NASA, NOAA and ESA to
be up to 50% stronger than its 'record breaking' predecessor Cycle 23
which produced the largest solar flare ever recorded... Just as the
Sun's solar activity affects the Earth's magnetic field which has a
dramatic affect on Earth's "weather" i.e. earthquakes, floods,
volcanoes, hurricanes; so does this wave of electrical currents affect
the human body's magnetic field.” We're receiving almost continuous
cosmic upgrades, altering our physiology and psyche. Keep listening to
your body and intuition. Eliminate as much stress in your life as you
can. For a good article on ascension symptoms, see http://thesecrettruthabout.com/ascension/ascension-symptoms/ and watch a five minute video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llB926tJaTk.
The
new moon which forms on June 19 is further potentized by several other
factors: its proximity to the solstice on June 20 and opposition to the
Galactic Center at 27° Sagittarius; its formation just before the first
of seven exact squares of Uranus and Pluto on June 24; Saturn’s station
direct on June 25; Venus ending its retrograde phase on June 27; and its
very close conjunction with the red giant star Betelgeuse at 29°
Gemini.
Solstices
have long been recognized by cultures around the world as important
turning points, and are especially powerful times for prayer and
ceremony. The word 'solstice' comes from the Latin words for sun and to stand still;
twice a year, the Sun appears to rise and set at the same time and
place for three days. After the winter solstice, the shortest day of the
year, we experience "The Return of the Light", as the Sun begins to
rise earlier and set later. Six months later, at the summer solstice, we
experience the reverse, energetically shifting from yang to yin. Now
inner growth becomes more necessary; the forms we have manifested since
the winter solstice must be nourished and provided with supportive
structures. The power of the feminine to bond with others, to feel what
is needed, to nurture and protect, must come forward.
Solstices
function as energetic gateways, allowing a greater influx of stellar
radiation as the axial tilt of the Earth comes to a gravitational
standstill for three days. Because the summer and winter solstices are
now also closely aligned with the Galactic Cross — the intersection of
the plane of our Milky Way Galaxy with the ecliptic (the path of the
Earth around the Sun) — each solstice (and equinox) provides a wider
portal for the celestial downloads which are accelerating humanity’s
evolution. This new moon peaks just 32 hours before the summer solstice
in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern,
focalizing transmissions from the massive Black Hole at the center of
our galaxy, providing tremendous energetic support for releasing old
patterns and beliefs. According to James Tyberonn, who channels
Archangel Metatron (www.Earth-Keeper.com), the solstice “opens
a window in causal space time as perceived from the Earth that enables
an influx passage of enormous energy gates for a period of 144 hours; 72
hours prior and 72 hours after the Heliotropic halt seemingly occurs.” Receive
the gifts of this time in meditation, prayer, and community. Visualize
and affirm what you wish to bring into the world. Surround yourself with
what inspires and nourishes you. Attune to the messages streaming from
the galactic core and your higher self. We are preparing for a quantum
leap.
Our
readiness to move forward increases as Saturn ends its five-month
retrograde phase on June 25, and Venus ends its 43-day retrograde on
June 27. We’ve been reviewing our values, commitments, and priorities;
we are now ready to act on what we have learned and what has changed
since Saturn turned retrograde on February 7 and Venus on May 15. On
June 11, Jupiter began its once-every-12-years passage through Gemini;
Jupiter remains within 12° of Venus until July 27, generating new
connections, new truths, and new possibilities in communication,
education, and cross-cultural exchange. Ceres, the dwarf planet
symbolizing the Great Goddess, moves into Gemini on June 23, empowering
new alliances and expressions of the feminine.
The
Sun and Moon’s close conjunction with Betelgeuse and opposition to the
Galactic Center funnels even more cosmic support for transformation.
Betelgeuse is one of the largest and most luminous bodies in the sky,
and is the brightest star in Orion, a constellation closely observed in
the ancient world. The Great Pyramid at Giza, the pyramid complex of
Teotihuacán in Mexico, ancient Hopi villages in the United States, and a
Neolithic complex in North Yorkshire, England were all built to align
with Orion. Betelgeuse’s name derives from the Arabic root for “the
central one,” and according to Alice Bailey and Djwhal Khul:
“Influential and potent forces are pouring in at this time from the
great stars Betelgeuse and Sirius… they produce a stimulation of the
heart center (Betelgeuse) and the head center (Sirius).” (Esoteric
Psychology II, p. 721)
This
new moon and solstice marks a threshold of major endings and
beginnings. Breakdowns happen so that breakthroughs can occur.
Relationships, institutions, and anything not aligned with the highest
good for all concerned are being challenged to evolve or dissolve. We’re
being given a cosmic test and a summons to stand in our truth and in
our power. This is a time of great challenge and great opportunity. Each
thought, word, and deed matters. Be as impeccable and compassionate as
you can, for this new moon shows us: “The world is too dangerous for anything but truth, and too small for anything but love.” (William Sloane Coffin)
Namaste,
