Venus Enters Leo (June 27, 2013)

Venus-in-Leo

Venus leaves the famil­iar Waters of
Can­cer, where you were refreshed and found again your cen­ter, your True Source
of Love…There in the undy­ing light of your High­er Self, in and through your beloved,
you could expe­ri­ence again and so under­stand that you are unique, a spe­cial spark
of the Life Divine…That it is in this Foun­tain-Source of Spir­it, in and
through The One, whose Love for you and all of Cre­ation is bound­less, it is this
Love which is the very force that builds, nur­tures, shapes and pro­pels this
remark­able jour­ney of all of the forms and ener­gies of
Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it, who are in fact this Cosmos.

You and your Avatar of Beau­ty and Love have
come from this realm and time of Attune­ment with­in, but Venus and you will now feel
a new and answer­ing need, an urgent call­ing upon you both to go forth…for it
is not enough to feel the Love that is of and abides with­in oneself…

For just as you are a spark of the
Divine and your pur­pose is to grow, so too must your love, so too must you
expe­ri­ence your love not mere­ly with­in, between you and your High­er Self, but you
must also Expe­ri­ence those Fires of Emo­tion, of love Expressed for and to One Another,
for all are held togeth­er in this Love that abides with­in yet also surrounds
you and all of Cre­ation too.

For what you will expe­ri­ence, when you
love anoth­er tru­ly, what you will see leaps out from you to them and from them
to you, the awe­some recog­ni­tion, out and through those “win­dows of the
soul”…You will see into one anoth­er, and what you behold and feel in
your heart is that you are in the “Pres­ence” of the Divine…You lift a lit­tle that veil of Mys­tery, of the One and the Many, because you behold another
spark of the Divine there before you, and what you feel, what you know, this is
love…

You rec­og­nize the oth­er as anoth­er wondrous,
resplen­dent embod­i­ment of the Divine…as are you…and what you feel for one another,
what you give to one anoth­er, what you have with one anoth­er is this Love that
is the Ener­gy that binds all of the ones of the One to and with the One…You
will feel and share this most pro­found expe­ri­ence of the Uni­ty of Creation,
you will call to one anoth­er, you will say to one anoth­er, “you are my Love”…and it is so.

Venus enters Leo…and your heart will
leap!

For as the Beloved is with­in, so is the
Beloved before you too.

Look into one anoth­er’s eyes…

Smile and be glad…

For you have found one anoth­er, again.

And it is time, it is time for Love.

Mercury Turns Retrograde (June 26, 2013)

Mercury-in-Cancer-Rx

The sec­ond Mer­cury Ret­ro­grade of the year
was not­ed in the 2013 Gen­er­al Fore­cast:

Mer­cury Ret­ro­grade in Can­cer (June 26 until
July 20)

The sec­ond of three Mer­cury ret­ro­grades in Water, and now it is
time to renew your thoughts about home and fam­i­ly. For three weeks Mer­cury will
ret­ro­grade through Can­cer and you will need to look with­in to see how securely
root­ed are the ideas that you hold (or do they have their hold on you?). You
need to exam­ine how well you have learned to inte­grate your thoughts with your
feelings…For it is only then that you will com­mu­ni­cate with your head and
your heart as one…and then your world will lis­ten with won­der and
appre­ci­a­tion. As always, present day mat­ters may need put on hold as you go
back and tidy up some items left behind. 

This ret­ro­grade will span the peri­od for
the approach to, and the time of the exact for­ma­tion of the Grand Trine of
Water for Jupiter, Sat­urn and Neptune…and it should be under­stood as being
formed (and informed) with­in the con­text of this greater pattern.

But the Plan­e­tary Waves can and will
trav­el both ways for you, in those grand Out­er Align­ments, but also in these
more sub­tle and nuanced gifts of the Inner Plan­ets too. That as much as the
Grand Trine is and will be bring­ing you a most pre­cious gift of Inte­gral Understanding,
where­in you will res­onate, respond and thrill to feel the won­der­ful attunement
between the Roots of your Being, your Unions with one anoth­er and your Oneness
with the Divine…It is still most nec­es­sary and right that you take some time
dur­ing this Mer­cury ret­ro­grade to make even more per­son­al and mean­ing­ful that
Grander Align­ment to come, and this is what dear Her­mes offers you now…

With Mer­cury ret­ro­grade you need to go
back and reex­am­ine, renew and restore your expe­ri­ence of your Fam­i­ly, your Home
and your Inner­most Being so that you may more per­fect­ly align the coming
Greater Grand Trine in your life. When­ev­er Mer­cury is ret­ro­grade, your mind and
aware­ness, your atten­tion and inten­tion, your con­scious­ness becomes turned more
read­i­ly back upon itself…and you can con­sid­er anew and exer­cise its most
won­drous attribute, to be Self-Reflective…You are more able to think about
think­ing, to reex­am­ine your expe­ri­ences and knowl­edge and so work towards a
greater inte­gra­tion of what is with­in and what is around you…

For your Feel­ings about your Center,
about your home and secu­ri­ty, about your need to nur­ture and be
nurtured…these are very deep and com­plex expe­ri­ences that are freight­ed with
com­plex thoughts, with many-lay­ered and often con­flict­ed feelings…And it would be
most help­ful to you and those that you care for, and who care for you, it would
be very help­ful to sort through these Feel­ing-Thought-Forms so that you may
come to bet­ter under­stand and accept your­self as you are, and restore your
faith in your greater destiny…

For you car­ry with­in you the promise,
that as a Spark of the Divine, your growth and Self-Unfold­ment will con­tin­ue forever
and ever…but you will need help at times to under­stand and let go of your
less­er attach­ments, the echoes of old expe­ri­ences that may some­times cast their
shad­ows upon your cur­rent experience…and these echoes, often orig­i­nat­ing as
rea­son­able and right in anoth­er time and place, these emo­tion­al com­plex­es have
no healthy, func­tion­al pur­pose for you in the present day…

With Mer­cury ret­ro­grade you are able to
step “out­side” of your­self and see how some of these old and familiar
pat­terns were devel­oped as respons­es to needs and cir­cum­stances long ago, but
now they have become pat­terns of Reac­tion, they only serve to hold you back in the
Now…and so you must take out your “Sword of Sev­er­ance” and cut
these chords of emo­tion­al bondage and so free your­self to choose new responses
to your own needs as well as for those for whom you care…

Let Her­mes take you inside, to your Home
that is within…

For there at the Core of you, there
resides the “Pearl of Great Price”…

It is your Self, your Beloved who is
your expe­ri­ence of Well-Being…

Of being Home, and Secure and Centered
no mat­ter what.

For this Cen­ter that is you, is also the
Cen­ter of the One.

And so you will remem­ber, again, and smile as you
realize…

You are already, you are always and forever…

You are Home.

Jupiter Enters Cancer (June 25, 2013)

Jupiter-in-Cancer

Anoth­er turn­ing in the Wheel of Life
that was not­ed in the Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2013:

 Jupiter Enters Can­cer (June 25 until July
16, 2014)

The Lord of Truth and Prin­ci­ples moves into the sign of Cancer,
and your jour­ney of dis­cov­ery brings you home again to con­sid­er the root nature
of what you hold to be true. Your steady growth is found­ed upon start­ing with a
good foun­da­tion, and Jupiter in Can­cer will help you deep­en your expe­ri­ence of
being cen­tered upon what mat­ters most. 

I
dis­cussed the bless­ings that Jupiter is offer­ing this year in the 2013 Fore­cast. With the Grand Trine of Jupiter, Sat­urn and Nep­tune and then the
Grand T‑Square with Uranus and Plu­to, you could say that Jupiter is play­ing the star­ring role in the spir­i­tu­al forces shap­ing your world this year…Here is most
of that entry again:

…Jupiter
will bring to bear a mes­sage from the Foun­da­tion-Source, the ever-renewing
well­spring of life that flows from the sign of Can­cer. Jupiter rules the
Prin­ci­ples, Truths and Beliefs that give and form the mean­ings of your life
jour­ney, that form the steady guide for your self-unfold­ment and purposeful
growth. Jupiter is offer­ing this spir­i­tu­al mes­sage from the heart, from the
source, from the roots of your life. For as you strug­gle to find your way
between Uranus and Plu­to, between Free­dom and Order, between self-asser­tion and
self-sac­ri­fice, you will need this cool­ing, calm­ing and refresh­ing reminder of
what you stand upon, from whence you have come and what holds you true to one
another.

Jupiter
in Can­cer serves to restore and renew your feel­ings of secu­ri­ty that originate
in your most inti­mate and pro­found expe­ri­ence that you are con­nect­ed or part of
some­thing greater than just your­self. As you grow and devel­op, in life after
life, you will find your own true cen­ter by being and belong­ing with one
anoth­er. It will usu­al­ly begin in your affec­tions and bonds expe­ri­enced in your
imme­di­ate fam­i­ly group, and it will slow­ly and increas­ing­ly extend itself in
any life, (and over many life­times, in life after life), into your ever-unfolding
expan­sion of con­scious­ness and spir­i­tu­al connectedness.

This
sense of belong­ing, of root­ed­ness and secu­ri­ty, expands from your immediate
fam­i­ly out­ward to your vil­lage, and then per­haps it may move out fur­ther to a
local area of sev­er­al com­mu­ni­ties. Then it con­tin­ues to grow out­ward even
fur­ther in your belong­ing to some group­ing per­haps ground­ed in your identity
with an eth­nic group, and then per­haps into some greater group­ing of many
eth­nic­i­ties. Even­tu­al­ly you find an even larg­er sense of iden­ti­ty and meaning
with­in an ever more com­plex cul­ture and soci­ety, until you final­ly experience
your pro­found famil­iar­i­ty with all who jour­ney in the fam­i­ly known as
“human”.

This
fun­da­men­tal spir­i­tu­al truth of con­nect­ed­ness will final­ly blos­som forth, as you
reach the “promised land”, the pro­found spir­i­tu­al epiphany of
under­stand­ing that all life is one, all beings are one with one anoth­er, that
every­thing in this cos­mos is a spark of the one Great Spir­it in whom we live
and love and find our true being.

As
Jupiter forms its Square and Oppo­si­tion, it will bring to bear these influences
upon the dynam­ic strug­gle of Uranus and Plu­to. The chal­lenge for every person
and for all group­ings of peo­ple will be to hold to the high­est lev­els of
inspi­ra­tion that Jupiter can pro­vide here, remind­ing one and all of their
com­mon bonds and inter­ests, elic­it­ing a desire for greater inclu­sive­ness and
gen­er­at­ing greater con­sid­er­a­tions for the well-being of one anoth­er. If they
can do this, then the strug­gles of Uranus with Plu­to can be mod­u­lat­ed and even
mit­i­gat­ed by find­ing that deep­er cen­ter where all can join togeth­er, founded
upon these shared feel­ings of belonging.

With
Jupiter’s influ­ence the fer­vent dri­ve for free­dom by Uranus can be soothed,
with a gen­tle reminder that as much as you must assert and be freer yourself
you must equal­ly acknowl­edge your need to care for one anoth­er too. The
Plu­ton­ian dri­ve to cre­ate, main­tain and extend your own sacred space must be
equal­ly bal­anced by the con­sid­er­a­tion you show for the sacred space of one and
all. 

But
there is also the very real pos­si­bil­i­ty of indi­vid­u­als and groups react­ing in a
more parochial way to this chal­lenge, and out of fear-formed echoes of their
past be steered by the emo­tion­al ties of Jupiter in Can­cer to react in more
exclu­sive or defen­sive ways. They will act more nar­row­ly, and iden­ti­fy with
whom they belong, whether fam­i­ly, tribe or cul­ture by build­ing walls not
bridges and so cre­ate an even greater gulf between “us ver­sus them”.
Then this oppor­tu­ni­ty for growth and self-tran­scen­dence could be lost in those
ego-dri­ven fears that have echoed through­out oth­er his­tor­i­cal peri­ods faced
with sim­i­lar demands for self-transformation.

The
chal­lenge will be laid down, either to rise up to a high­er under­stand­ing and
con­duct with one anoth­er, to make some mutu­al sac­ri­fice and unite…or to face
the divide with­in and between us by refus­ing to join in a greater whole, to
give into fear and so increase those sep­a­ra­tions from one anoth­er. And this
fear-based fail­ing would most cer­tain­ly quick­en the descent to a more difficult
des­tiny for one and all. The choice will be there, and each must decide…but
there is hope…

Yes,
it is from Jupiter’s mean­ings as mod­u­lat­ed by the Sign of Can­cer that you can
find the first of three offer­ings to help you nav­i­gate the year ahead. But
there is much to be hoped for here, because Jupiter is but one part of a gift
of inspi­ra­tion and mean­ing that comes with­in a three-fold bless­ing from your
Star­ry com­pan­ions this year. For what Jupiter is anchor­ing and car­ry­ing forward
to you in August is the mean­ing and mes­sage of the oth­er great align­ment this
year, and which will most thank­ful­ly still be in force dur­ing Jupiter’s August
align­ments with Uranus and Pluto…it is the radi­ant beau­ty of the year, the
Grand Trine in Water of Jupiter, Sat­urn and Neptune.

We
can for­get as we go about our busy lives “down here”, we can forget
how mag­i­cal and how full of mean­ing were the pat­terns dis­cerned by our
ances­tors. How they mar­veled at what stood revealed in this great pageantry
that sweeps before us every day and night by our Star­ry com­pa­ny, those constant
com­pan­ions who dance and form beau­ti­ful, intri­cate and mean­ing­ful pat­terns all
around us. Yes, we can miss the signs and por­tents because we do not see them
or even look for them any­more, but they are there…these Guardians of Life
con­tin­ue their won­drous weav­ing, help­ing us to under­stand our great unfolding
jour­ney through the spaces of space, our walk among stars.

Some­times
these plan­e­tary pat­terns are hard­er to dis­cern, and their true sig­nif­i­cance and
mean­ing even more hid­den from you. But this mid-sum­mer align­ment of Jupiter,
Sat­urn and Nep­tune will, even if not seen, be felt by many…it will be
beau­ti­ful to behold and its mes­sage is sweet and deep.

The
aspects between plan­ets, formed by their angu­lar sep­a­ra­tion from one another,
can be under­stood by divid­ing the Cir­cle of Life by a par­tic­u­lar num­ber. The
divi­sion of the Cir­cle, which is 360 degrees in cir­cum­fer­ence, by the num­ber 2
cre­ates the oppo­si­tion of 180 degrees. The divi­sion by the num­ber 4 cre­ates the
square aspect of 90 degrees. And for our pur­pos­es this July, the divi­sion of
the Cir­cle of Life by the num­ber 3 forms the Trine aspect of 120 degrees.

When­ev­er
three plan­ets line up equal­ly spaced from one anoth­er, it is called a Grand
Trine because the pat­tern is formed by divid­ing the cir­cle of space around you
into three equal por­tions, and find­ing that at each divid­ing point there stands
a plan­et equal­ly dis­tant from the oth­er two along the cir­cle. This divi­sion by
three res­onates with a har­mon­ic that rep­re­sents a poised bal­ance of energies
that are being focused through three dis­tinct avatars, in this case by Jupiter
in Can­cer and Sat­urn in Scor­pio and Nep­tune in Pisces. The Grand Trine of July
is all about the Mean­ing and Pow­er of the ele­ment of Water. It is through these
three Avatars in Water that you will receive inspi­ra­tion to help you walk your
path of des­tiny in this time of great and trans­for­ma­tion­al change.

Hav­ing
already observed the con­tri­bu­tion of Jupiter, let us turn our atten­tion to the
oth­er two Lords, and then turn and see how all three avatars will com­bine and
con­tribute to a greater influ­ence too.

The
mes­sage of Sat­urn in Scor­pio res­onates with the strength, pow­er and depth of
feel­ing that abides in the expe­ri­ence of Union. For as much as Jupiter in
Can­cer upholds the truth of find­ing your con­nec­tion to one anoth­er by looking
to the past, to what you and all around you have come through and from, Saturn
in Scor­pio holds out the neces­si­ty of deal­ing with your ever-resur­gent need,
your yearn­ing neces­si­ty to cross the divide that seem­ing­ly sep­a­rates you from
one anoth­er and so find your greater strength in join­ing togeth­er in your
sacred unions. For when two or more are gath­ered togeth­er, unit­ed in a common
pur­pose for which each has made a right­ful sac­ri­fice, it is from such acts that
the mag­ic and pow­er of spir­i­tu­al growth is in fact real­ized and released. For
it is not enough to remem­ber and hon­or from where you came, it is equally
impor­tant to work togeth­er, to forge deep­er under­stand­ings, to share in the
joys and bur­dens of life and so con­tin­ue to walk this spir­i­tu­al path of your
self-becom­ing, self-unfoldment…together.

The
mes­sage of Nep­tune in Pisces, like bells peal­ing in a dew kissed morning,
thrill with the third and final form of Water-Feel­ing, which is that numinous
force that resides with­in each par­ti­cle of this cre­ation, pro­vid­ing the impetus
that inspir­its the lives of all who jour­ney with­in this cos­mos. The creative
force that is behind all of the phe­nom­e­na in this uni­verse is known by many
names. For many it is called Faith, some would say it is their Dreams or the
pow­er of the Imag­i­na­tion, but none can tru­ly cap­ture the mys­tery behind what
flows through each and every being, that leads them out from with­in, as they
unfold as the sparks of the Divine, these self-becom­ings who ever strive to
grow, to become some­thing more.

For
it is this feel­ing that binds all as one and one to the All, and that leads all
out so as to grow beyond what they have so far cre­at­ed, to walk the path­ways of
light and love out­ward into the spaces of space, out upon their wondrous,
spi­ral­ing jour­ney. It is this Great Jour­ney which will even­tu­al­ly bring them
back to return as some­thing more, hav­ing become so much more than what they
were, when they return home again.

For
as much as Jupiter in Can­cer will pro­vide you with your foun­da­tion of feeling,
and Sat­urn in Scor­pio will teach you about the courage you have with­in you to
reach out and join with one anoth­er, it is Nep­tune in Pisces who com­pletes your
cir­cle of life, Nep­tune brings it all togeth­er by singing to you of your
ever-renascent pow­er, forged in your begin­ning by your nature as a spark of the
Divine and that holds you as one of count­less cre­ators who need but dream of a
bet­ter world…and it will be so.

For
this is how the Uni­verse came to be and con­tin­ues to become, because your
Spir­it is the very essence of it all, the pow­er behind your Imag­i­na­tion, Dreams
and Faith…The Pow­er of your Becom­ing, The Pow­er of your Self.

Togeth­er
these three, Jupiter, Sat­urn and Nep­tune can show you once again that you are
the mak­er, you are the Cre­ator of what you face now. That you can feel more
tru­ly the roots that hold you all togeth­er, that you can feel the greater joy
that comes from join­ing with one anoth­er, and that you can love and cre­ate a
bet­ter world by believ­ing and dream­ing for one another. 

Yes,
this will be a year to remem­ber, and quite a sum­mer indeed. The energies
delin­eat­ed above will be build­ing in towards the end of June, grow­ing through
July and cli­max­ing in August. The con­tin­u­ing chal­lenge laid down to you by
Uranus and Plu­to may be some­what eased by these spir­i­tu­al ema­na­tions that come
from this grand align­ment of Plan­e­tary Lords, and equal­ly and most challenging
acti­vat­ed by the T‑Square formed by Jupiter too.

There
is much to be hoped for here. There is the hope offered in the Grand Trine that
per­haps the things which divide the many from one anoth­er will be sur­passed by
this greater under­stand­ing of our mutu­al need to sac­ri­fice for the greater good
of one another.

Let
us hope, may we dream…and it shall be…

So
now you enter your time of Chal­lenge and Oppor­tu­ni­ty, of these grand and great
for­ma­tions which will elic­it, inspire and guide you too…Today Jupiter
moves into Can­cer and begins a series of Super Align­ments in both the Grand
Trine of Water with Sat­urn and Nep­tune, and the Grand T‑Square with Uranus and
Pluto…

So
it is right and prop­er that you should bow your head and give thanks for these
Gifts of the Spir­it that this most Benev­o­lent Lord bestows…and to all the
Star­ry Host who are there for you too…

Your
Cos­mic Com­pan­ions Sing and Dance the Truths of Life, for it is what they have become, but in this they
also serve…For they are a part of a great Spir­i­tu­al Hierarchy…And, in time,
you too will more ful­ly awak­en to these self-same mean­ings and bless­ings in
your own life and World, you will under­stand, you will lift up you and
yours…and you too will love and serve…

For
these Truths and Ener­gies are with­in you, and your only illu­sion is the
expe­ri­ence of separation…

For
you came from the Stars, you are one with the Stars…

and
your des­tiny is to return one day to be a Star among those Stars.

You
are on this Jour­ney of Self-Becom­ing as are these great Lords of Life and
Spirit.

You
are nev­er alone, not ever, for you trav­el in this Great Com­pa­ny of Light and Love.

Togeth­er
you jour­ney through the spaces of Space, and that Self-Same spark of the Divine
with­in you is also with them…as it is with one and All.

Today
is a day to cel­e­brate your Fam­i­ly in Spir­it, your Fam­i­ly of Life, your Family
of Love.

Today, Jupiter enters the Halls of Cancer.

Today,
Jupiter brings you Home to your Beginning.

Today,
Jupiter reminds you who you are, and

how your Ori­gin is your Destiny.

For you are one of the ones of the One…and,

You are here to Love and care for one another.

You are here to be one with the One.

Full Moon in Capricorn (June 23, 2013)



2013-6-23-Full-Moon-at-Galactic-Center

She is out there now, sweep­ing your outer
cours­es, your bright­ly shin­ing Bea­con of Bal­ance. For Luna’s gift is her
Intu­ition­al Light which reflects, responds and offers that most necessary
com­pen­sa­tion to the awe­some pow­er of the Solar Day-Forces, which flow through
you now from the Sign of Cancer.

Although your time in Can­cer has just
begun, it is good to have this reminder of what and to where it all will
lead…for those Foun­da­tions of Can­cer lead to the Tow­ers of Capri­corn, to the
Ful­fill­ment of your Pur­pose, to your Mas­tery and Respon­si­bil­i­ties, of Duty and
Tra­di­tions that Hon­or, Pre­serve and Pass down what must be held as Sacred and
True…

For all these Tra­di­tions, all of your Institutions
and Struc­tures, of Gov­ern­ment, Reli­gion, Education…they all came about to serve
and ful­fill a need at some point in time…They began as a response, an answer
to a Human Need that over time became embod­ied in an Order and Edi­fice whose
pur­pose it is to answer this feel­ing for one anoth­er by meet­ing the needs of one another…

That most sim­ple but pro­found human
expe­ri­ence, to feel for one anoth­er, to wish to care for one anoth­er, even­tu­al­ly becomes
real­ized in these sys­tems of Duty and Responsibility…and that is what this
Full Moon reminds you of tonight…That the feel­ings you feel for you and yours
have been the Foun­tain-Source for all that you and your Ances­tors have accomplished…

You stand upon the shoul­ders of those
who came before, who answered the call to care for one anoth­er and so made a
world that is this liv­ing tes­ta­ment to the awe­some pow­er of feel­ing, this most
sacred trust that you have to guide you…that you care. This is why you must
bow your head and give thanks, for you are what you are and must do what you do
because much has been won by these heart­felt and pur­pose­ful efforts by
those who did their duty long ago…

And so it is your turn now…You must con­sid­er now in
this light of the Moon of Respon­si­bil­i­ty, what is my pur­pose, what is my duty? And
your answer must be formed and found­ed upon the fun­da­men­tal truth that you are
part of a Great Fam­i­ly of Spir­it and your Nature is to Feel for one anoth­er, that you are here to
help meet the needs of each and every…for you are one of the ones of the One, and
you are all related…

And so it is Right and True that as you
look to this Moon of your Pur­pose and Des­tiny, as you gaze upon your Luminous
Luna, your Avatar of Moth­er and Home, it is right that you should know this…you are Tru­ly look­ing “Home­ward”…

For
just below the Moon tonight is your Home, for what is there is in fact the Galac­tic Cen­ter from which
the Divine Spir­it, all the Ener­gies and Forms of this Cos­mos, and so you too, began a Great Journey
long ago…

Look up at your Moon…then look
beyond…

There is your Logos, your Source, your Home…

and there lies your Des­tiny too.

For you came from this One…

You will ever Abide in the One…

And
to the One you shall return.

Sun Enters Cancer (June 21, 2013)


Cancer6

You
have passed through the first three realms, of Fire and Earth and Air…and now
you must com­plete the first tri­ad of the Sacred Four. The Wheel of Life has
turned and so you come into the Cir­cle that is Squared…You need this now, to
take this plunge into the Refresh­ing, Nur­tur­ing and oh so Famil­iar Waters of
Cancer.

The
sea­sons of life fol­low the rhythm of the your jour­ney around the Sun…Four
cor­ners divide your year into peri­ods of greater Light or Dark­ness, the Waxing
and Wan­ing of Solar Forces and Night Ener­gies. Today marks the Sum­mer Solstice,
and for those who find them­selves in the North­ern Hemi­sphere the longest day
and short­est night is at hand…

The
Solar Force has reached its max­i­mum, which of course is for you a her­ald of
change, you are at “a turn­ing”, and it will soon become appar­ent that
the next six months will be of length­en­ing shad­ows and short­er days…so in
this Bright­est of Days, here at the Solar Max­i­mum you need to remem­ber and you
need to prepare…for Win­ter is Coming.

You
must gath­er togeth­er with you and yours, to help one anoth­er, to make your
lives tru­ly secure by car­ing for one anoth­er. This is the time you will seek
with­in, to Feel your way to your Roots, to re-estab­lish your­self upon the
foun­da­tions of your life…to make your way home again, to nur­ture as you were
nur­tured, to pass on and pro­tect what is sacred, to care.

For
some that may mean to draw clos­er, to be held and to hold one anoth­er, to feel
more deeply that bond of kin­ship with­in your imme­di­ate fam­i­ly, to find yourself
and your mean­ing with­in its his­to­ry and tra­di­tions, to feel the close-knit
embrace of those with whom one shares the most inti­mate of life experiences…

For
some it will broad­en and deep­en, into the streams of life that encom­pass a
cul­ture and/or an eth­nic­i­ty, or more like­ly a blend of these…and for some it
will widen into that riv­er of life, iden­ti­fy­ing with a more uni­ver­sal spiritual
or reli­gious tra­di­tion that binds one to anoth­er in faith and hope…

And
for some, it will broad­en still fur­ther, to encom­pass this Ocean of Life and
Spir­it, the Life Divine from which all came, where all abide as they journey
through the spaces of Space, and to which all shall some­day return and be held
as one with the One…

For this
is where this feel­ing is found­ed, it aris­es with­in you in such per­son­al ways
with your fam­i­ly, with your “peo­ple” or “fam­i­ly of choice”,
through and with your cul­ture or nation or the world…but tru­ly your feeling
of cen­ter, of belong­ing and ori­gin is much old­er much deep­er and more profound
than this…

For your begin­ning reach­es back to The Begin­ning, of being a spark
of the Divine who lov­ing­ly sent you on this Jour­ney of Becom­ing, but who always
remains with­in you, as this Pres­ence, this feel­ing, this know­ing that you are and
will always be cared for, nur­tured and loved because…because this is who you
real­ly are… 

You
are a Spark of the Divine, and this spark resides with­in the core of you.

You
seek to become more and so ful­fill the Divine’s purpose…

But
always and for­ev­er you seek to feel the Cen­ter, to feel that Famil­iar Feeling…

Of
Belong­ing, of being Part of Some­thing Greater…

Of Something/Someone
that will hold you, Embrace you…

Until
the day arrives and you real­ize, that it, she/he was always there, within.

You
are Home, you are Loved…

You always have been, now and will ever be…

A sparkling Drop in the Ocean of Spirit…

Your true Home…

Abid­ing with­in your Heart.
