SIRIUSLY SPICY CELESTIAL SEASONING
It’s not just because I’m a Sagittarius. Fire is fire. Sag is a
candle-lighting sign that loves incense, ceremony and celebration,
thanks-giving, prayer and parties. This month features a run of seasonal
holy-days, heading across the Capricorn solstice passage, through
Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, a Christmas Full Moon and its twelve days of swans
a’swimming and partridges in pear trees.
The
THANKSGIVING FULL MOON was turbo-charged with the Sun and
Moon electrified by Uranus. We just haven’t got used to what that
odd-ball planet is doing in Pisces yet. A roller-coaster ride under the
sea (a la Finding Nemo and Shark’s Tale). Uranus is lighting up the
corpuscles in our blood streams. Drugs and drink create internal
hurricanes and havoc. Live your dreams.
Recommended reading: a review of The Little Sea Maid, the original
Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Anderson.
MERCURY, RETROGRADE as of November 30, plugs into the galactic
center at 27 Sag. What’s the message? Sabian symbol says:
THE SCULPTOR’S VISION IS TAKING FORM
Oracular interpretation by Lynda Hill and Richard Hill reads:
You may find yourself in a situation where you are able to
manipulate events into something of value and lasting integrity. Slow
painstaking work. Concrete creative manifestation.
Downside: narrow mindedness, goal-oriented with blinders.
That all sounds like
Mercury retrograde -- with a worthy goal:
the heart of the Milky Way. What goes on there? My latest vision is that
it’s the dancing ground of Shiva-Shakti. Sometimes they danced in
graveyards, why not the explosive birthing ground of the galaxy? In the
last couple of months, extreme gamma ray activity was detected in that
area. Extraordinary cosmic rays like a burst of fireworks scintillates
through the galaxy. How do we shape it into useable material, creative
manifestation? We get some clues from Uranus in Pisces, the Electric
Dream Maker, if we can dispose of logic. Mercury is retrograde until
December 20, solstice eve. It loops back to the galactic center point on
January 7, joined by Venus. The goddess of love is having many
remarkable liaisons lately. Are you? What a lovely reunion to look
forward to at the heart of the galaxy.
In the meantime, the cosmic union of Shiva-Shakti is reflected in the
MARS-VENUS CONJUNCTION of December 5, a long time coming. In May these
two lover planets were SO close, then Venus slowed down into retrograde
and her rare crossing of the Sun. NOW she is ready for Mars in his own
sign of Scorpio, a highly erotic sign, super-charged with compellingly
attractive life-force. Irresistible. Where in your life is this
co-creative fusion taking place?
The Sabian symbol plumbs a deep mystery:
A WOMAN, FILLED WITH HER OWN SPIRIT, IS THE FATHER OF HER OWN CHILD.
The immaculate conception is part of the great mystery of sexuality and
the divine. Gods and goddesses seem to do it, but what does it mean to
us mere mortals? The Mars-Venus conjunction in a personal chart suggests
a life path seeking to experience an inner and outer union of the
male-female energy. Relationships will reflect that desire, which can
vary between times of intense involvement and solitary processing. In
Scorpio, Mars is considered stronger, but when Venus evokes her dark
goddess power, that’s a match. Just let’s not get too heavy metal.
From deep inner emotional connection one can attract an equally
emotionally-empowered partner, to explore another level of love’s dance.
In any case, we’re drawn into the dance on one level or another. There
is a subtle spiritual tone in this particular degree, emphasized by a
Neptune square. It can bring out high aspiration, or the illusion. Those
born in 1963-65 and October 8-10, particularly, are right at the center
of this Neptune challenge. Don’t be fooled by chemistry alone. This
conjunction initiates a new Mars-Venus cycle that plays out until their
next joining, in the presence of the Sun, all at 2 degrees Scorpio, in
October 2006. You heard it here first.
Keeping on the subterranean track, Pluto joins the NEW MOON on December
11, with retrograde Mercury investigating. Inaugurating a new monthly
cycle, this could suggest that the TRUTH WILL OUT. Let’s share that
vision! but it takes deep digging and some time.
Last but not least,
BLACK MOON LILITH aligns with Sirius at 14 Cancer.
The brightest star we see, the star of the great goddess Isis, Sirius is
also the star of the United States, symbolized by the Statue of Liberty.
At the same time the Black Moon squares Jupiter in Libra. This suggests
a challenge, possibly legal judgement, that is either a championship of
or affront to the goddess. This is a test of the soul of the U.S. and
its people. The Sabian Symbol describes the nature of this test:
A VERY OLD MAN FACING A VAST DARK SPACE TO THE NORTHEAST
Again from Lynda and Richard’s oracle:
You may be looking for some help or spiritual guidance, but it may be
difficult to find through the usual channels. As we become more
enlightened there is a greater ability to see spiritual truth. There
needs to be a trust and courage that your inner wisdom is in touch with
the higher truth. If negative: a feeling of staring into a void, a lack
of purpose or a feeing of abandonment.
Does that describe the feeling in the U.S.? What needs to be done? A
looking within, a joining together in new ways, a rapprochement between
seeming opposites. What is the common ground we all share? We are likely
to find out through the black hole of increasing economic debt. The
Black Moon in Cancer is ready to give birth to what the SOUL needs, what
the U.S. needs to fulfill its spiritual service to the world. Cancer
tends to take things personally, but the Black Moon brings us beyond
that, to face the transpersonal need.
With this Black Moon and the Mercury retrograde, many oracular voices
will speaking out. Not only in America, but globally, we are birthing
our new vision. There is a need for a strong will, a willingness rather
than willfulness, and a joining with divine Will as we join together.

It's been widely propagated that the road to hell is paved with good
intentions. Evidently, there's another path just opened by
astronomers. Last week (and I'm not exactly sure of the day),
astronomers named the numbered minor planet, 90482, Orcus. The
orbital period of this body is 248.01 years, which is very close to
that of Pluto. By naming protocol, any object maintaining a 3:2
orbital ration between Neptune and itself - a Plutino - must take
the name of an underworld deity. Orcus runs about 900 km in
diameter. While not as large as Pluto, he is one of the largest
Trans-Neptunian Objects.
So now we have Orcus, the Roman equivalent of Pluto. While some
references use Hades somewhat interchangeably with Orcus, these are
distinctive astronomical/astrological bodies that should not be
confused. Most notably, Orcus (killer by some translation) prevails
as the deity that hears the words spoken in oaths. His charge
demands he punish those who break oaths. Last weekend a news story
posted on the Internet about a soldier just released from jail for
desertion. When stationed in Korea he allegedly took off to North
Korea to avoid being shipped off for service in Vietnam. The point
is: upon enlistment an oath of faithfulness to the United States and
service to it is proclaimed. His release, after serving his
punishments - a long involved story - coincided with the naming of
the body that disciplines for oath breaking. Interesting.
The heliocentric node of Orcus is 28 Sagittarius 32, aligned with
the Galactic Center. It would seem that those who proclaim the
knowledge of this potent point and fail to apply it might come under
the scrutinizing eye of Orcus. The closest contact to the Sun
(perihelion) falls at 11 Pisces 52. Both Sag and Pisces hold in
common the association with Jupiter sometimes known for the "do as I
say, not as I do" phenomenon. This bodes trouble given the
monitoring of Orcus. Seems like the other superhighway to hell is
concretized with broken promises. However, Pisces can also symbolize
penance. Retribution, forgiveness and healing of verbal
transgressions might also apply here. It's a little early to have
full comprehension of all of the realm of Orcus.
Presently, Orcus passes through late Leo (26 Leo 58, retrograde as
of December 1st). It would appear that boastful promises made that
cannot be upheld gain the gaze of Orcus. Whether a promised
Christmas gift, an oath to an organization or country, or spoken vow
of one's spirituality, let us hope that the spoken word becomes
upheld. Maybe right now, Orcus serves as the slayer of false pride.
While in his present position, he is near the royal star, Regulus.
Perhaps it is also true that those that maintain their oaths are
subject to the royal treatment, and in a good way.
Given that Mercury retrograde is less than twenty-four hours away
from starting, perhaps it is advisable to pay extra attention to
promises made during the emotionally supercharged holiday season.
After all, Mercury turns tail in an easy trine to Orcus's present
position. And making oaths of rendering that can be kept certainly
seem to bring their own reward.
For those of you having purchased the Galactic Trilogy CD, the
update involving Orcus currently undergoes editing. It will be out
to you via e-mail this week (Oh my, was that an oath!?). For those
not owning this CD, oh my again. What a holiday gift this would be.
Until next time, may your words and proclamations be fluid and
sanctioned by the trine of Mercury to Orcus - smooth and never
oafish.

Earth re-enters the Photon Band Nov 28, 2004 remaining
until July 13, 2005. Here are a few details…The Photon Belt
is a stream of photons that seems to emanate from the galactic
center towards the star
Alcyone one of the stars found in the Pleiades. Visualizing
the solar system as a pancake, with the Sun at the center, the
Photon Belt would be like a fork stuck through the pancake.
First detected in 1961 by means of satellite-borne instruments
and reported by Paul Otto Hesse, the first contact of the solar
system with the Photon Belt came in 1972 when Pluto was briefly
in the band… The entire solar system is moving slowly
sideways into the Photon Belt. As planets rotate around the Sun,
they swing in and out of the band. Earth has been in the Photon
Belt two additional weeks each year since 1987 as our planet
approaches and leaves the spring equinox….The last time the
entire solar system was in the Photon Belt was the Age of Leo,
or 10,800 BC through 8640 BC…..
http://www.spiritdove.com/tcs_newsapr10_03.htm
Noel Huntley, Ph.D. says; The photon belt is an immense
region of space which is radiating intense electromagnetic
radiation throughout the visible spectrum and beyond, into
high-frequency invisible light; even including some x-ray
spectra. It is part of a magnetic flow of light throughout the
galaxy…It appears that for mankind on this planet the photon
belt encounter will be essentially a spiritual experience--but
this really depends on man. Nevertheless, the real benefits of
this phenomenon is from what is actually causing the photons. It
is linked with the so-called convergences. If we are
sufficiently evolved at the time, great advancements will occur
in our consciousness as we attune to the higher-frequencies...

Over the past few years and for the next few to come, many
"signs in the sky" are developing. One of the more interesting
has been the entrance of the Sun into the Photon Belt.
The Photon Belt is a stream of photons that seems to emanate
from the galactic center towards the star
Alcyone.
Visualizing the solar system as a pancake, with the Sun at the
center, the Photon Belt would be like a fork stuck through the
pancake. First detected in 1961 by means of satellite-borne
instruments and reported by Paul Otto Hesse, the first contact
of the solar system with the Photon Belt came in 1972 when Pluto
was briefly in the band. Speculation ran high of "three days of
darkness" and the usual gloom-and-doom predictions when Earth
first touched the edge of this band for one week in March of
1987. When the "three days of darkness" failed to happen,
interest in the Photon Belt waned considerably.
The entire solar system is moving slowly sideways into the
Photon Belt. As planets rotate around the Sun, they swing in and
out of the band. Earth has been in the Photon Belt two
additional weeks each year since 1987 as our planet approaches
and leaves the spring equinox. In 1997, Earth was in the band
from 12/29/97 until 6/8/98. The next year, it was there from
12/22/98 to 6/15/99. This was the first time Earth is in the
band for more than half the year. In 2012, the Earth will be in
this band full time, until about 4320 AD. The last time the
entire solar system was in the Photon Belt was the Age of Leo,
or 10,800 BC through 8640 BC.
The Sun itself had never entered the Photon Belt until sometime
in the summer of 1999 when the corona of the Sun just started to
touch the band, less dense at the edges than in the center.
Quite unlike the Earth's entrance into this band, the reaction
of the Sun has been spectacular. Early in June 1998, two comets
entered into the sun. This is not unusual. As many as 25 or
more comets or asteroids a year will either enter the sun or
graze it. Nothing has ever happened before when the sun was
struck by a cosmic body. But this time the sun reacted in a way
no one has ever seen before. Approximately 30 to 35 solar flares
erupted on the surface of the sun, all in two parallel circles
at the 19.5 (north and south latitudes. These are the latitudes
where the interlocking tetrahedrons cross the sphere of the
sun. It is the same with the Earth or a human being. These are
the latitudes of the great pyramid in Egypt, the Cydonia complex
on Mars, Mauna Loa in Hawaii and the great red spot on Jupiter.
Djwhal Kuhl said that the comets which penetrated the Sun
have been describing the orbits or movement patterns which form
geometric shapes which then form a greater sacred geometry
beyond the solar system. These comets have finished that work
of creating the
ley lines around the solar system and have returned home.
Concurrent with its entrance into the Photon Belt, this has
apparently been a signal for the Sun to begin using these new
ley lines. Since June/99, GOES 8 and GOES 10 satellites have
reported major magnetic storms from eruptions on the Sun on
7/16, 7/23, 7/30, 8/25, 9/23 and 10/1. These storms pour a
tremendous amount of magnetic energy as well as protons towards
Earth. The solar proton flux which is measured in PUI rose to
about 2500 PUI in the late 1980's. The scientific community was
very concerned about this much energy reaching Earth. On
10/13/98 it measured 42,000 PUI! The Sun does not fluctuate in
and out of the Photon Belt like Earth does and will move
steadily further into it. It should be completely within the
Photon Belt by 2001.
The Sun is clearly acting differently as it enters the Photon
Belt. This energy is being felt on Earth as it works to raise
the vibratory rate of every atom in every human being on its
surface. Diagrams from NASA show a startling effect in that,
Earth does not sit passively to receive these tremendous
magnetic outpourings from the Sun. Rather, she sends out a
magnetic pulse, the result of which is a cylinder of magnetic
flux extending over both Sun and Earth like a sleeve linking the
two. It is as if Earth and Sun reach out in a magnetic embrace,
like reunited lovers.
This is not the only recent change in the Sun's behavior. In 1992
everything was normal with our Sun. It had a magnetic north and
south pole. It was functioning normally by scientific standards.
In December of 1994, the Ulysses spacecraft from NASA arrived at the
Sun to measure its magnetic field. NASA was astonished to find out
that the magnetic field of the Sun no longer has a north and south
pole.
The Sun's magnetic field had changed dramatically into a homogeneous
field. There was, of course, no scientific explanation. No one had
ever seen anything like this before. DK has told us that this lack
of polarity in the Sun is reflected in a reduction in the duality
seen on Earth; spirit and matter are not so exclusively separate any
more. The Sun has also perceptibly changed its visible radiation
from the yellow towards the white.
It is important to understand how the Photon Belt and Earth are
arranged in space. Imagine a cone, Alcyone at its tip, our Sun's
26,000-year cycle its base. Along the slanted side of this cone are
the circular paths of the remaining six of the seven stars of the
Pleiades constellation, the Seven Sisters. The Photon Belt
emanates from the galactic center, usually regarded as being at 26’
45” Sagittarius towards Alcyone at 29' 58" Taurus at the tip of the
cone. This band is like a wide ribbon bisecting the cone
longitudinally, so that, as the Sun moves around the base of the
cone, it is in the Photon Belt during the age of Aquarius and the
Age of Leo.
Barbara Hand Clow in “The Pleiadian Agenda” refers to these
periods as the "Galactic Day" and all others as the "Galactic
Night". We are, then, moving slowly out of the Galactic Night. The
precession of the equinoxes is an effect of irregularities in
Earth's orbit with regards to the solar equator, but coincidentally
corresponds exactly to the progress of the Sun in its spiral around
Alcyone (and closely to the timing of glacial cycles from core
samples taken at the poles). For this reason it is convenient to
mark this progress in terms of the Age of Aquarius, Age of Pisces,
etc.
The Mayan astronomer/astrologer
Hunbatz Men
decoded much of the 17 Mayan calendars. Of these, the calendar "Calendario
edel Tzek'eb o Pleyades" describes the timing and meaning of our
Sun's orbit around the central star of the Pleiades, Alcyone.
According to this, each of our Sun's 26,000 year cycles around
Alcyone is equivalent to one of the Ages of the Sun in the Aztec
calendar. We will complete a 26,000 year cycle according to this
calendar in Dec of 2012. We will also be completing a larger 104,000
year cycle and begin "El Quinto Sol". In this cycle, those who stay
will become a cosmic humanity and contact with other worlds will be
possible.
Our Sun's rotation around the galactic center is a cycle that takes
225 million years to complete. Setting a beginning point for this
huge cycle is arbitrary, but in relation to events on Earth, it is
interesting to note that 225 million years ago was the dawn of the
Age of Dinosaurs or the Triassic Period of the Mesozoic Era. 450
million years ago marked the Paleozoic Era when plants mysteriously
decided to move from the sea onto the land, and 675 million years
ago was the start of the Pre-Cambrian Era which saw shellfish and
Trilobites suddenly form themselves from one-celled animals. Nobody
really knows what prompted these changes in the evolutionary path of
life on this planet, and it stretches the imagination to conjecture
what changes will be remembered 225 million years from now.
However, it can be assumed that this will parallel the enormity of
the emergence of dinosaurs, and it is truly exciting to be here at
this time.
The energy from the Photon Belt serves to further the Earth's
ascension process as well as our own. There has been an
additional influx of energy of late, coming as a tremendous burst of
magnetic, X-ray and gamma ray radiation. During the early morning
hours of August 27, 1998, a star named SGR 1900+14, some 20,000
light-years away sent a 5-minute burst of energy that was felt by
Earth to be every bit as strong as that of the Sun. An entity named
Kryon, who is channeled through Lee Carroll, has said that we
will be seeing bursts like this, the bursts being the signature of
the arrival of, what he calls, "Master Guides". This was the 5th
such burst of energy recorded since the first was seen in 1983 and
was by far the largest. The energy released by the magnetar in one
five-minute burst, said Kevin Hurley of the University of
California-Berkeley, was roughly equal to the amount of energy
Earth's Sun will put out in the next 300 years.
These Master Guides are not 'balls of light' or angels with wings.
They are people... people who are sufficiently advanced so as to be
able to 'see ahead', see beyond the illusion, beyond the veil. They
are here now, and more will come. These are the people who guide
others into more holistic avenues, who teach and educate others in
the ways of Nature, positivism, and greater vision and wisdom.
These people choose to blend in to the environment, thus they are
somewhat protected by their anonymity. They look the same as
others, and they live fairly conventional lives. But they are not
the same, for they can 'see' where others cannot--yet. If you are
fortunate to have a small connection with one of these people, count
your blessings. Ironically, most folks do not recognize these
unique souls. In fact, they often dispute, argue, condemn, and
despise these people, for the Light from them shines upon one's own
'darkness' and ignorance--and it hurts to see one's shortcomings!
Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed were particularly advanced
souls, and look at how they were treated.
The master guides are bringing additional energy for the Earth's
ascension. Djwhal Kuhl tells us these beings come from a galaxy far
away and have evolved in other realities beyond our own. They are
bound by the non-interference rule and need to be invited before
they can dispense any of their energy or wisdom. We can help with
this by inviting them to do so, either by offering to be vehicles
for their work or by asking their assistance in our own work. The
blast of energy came from the constellation Aquila, which has always
been associated with the Eagle, and with the Tarot card number 6,
"The Lovers" from the major arcana. This card, among other things,
expresses the idea of "two paths". The position of the star of
origin is about 29 of Capricorn, which is near, but not exactly in
line with, the galactic center. Neptune was exactly in line to be
the solar system's first receptor of this energy, and many suggest
that those who respond to this planet's energies of compassion and
mysticism may be more easily able to distribute this new energy than
others, at least initially.
Cycles from 225 million years on down are all coming together as we
approach the year 2012. We are now in a time of spiritual
opportunity. Hopefully, being aware of these cycles will make us
each more aware and an eager participant in the changes happening
all around us.
