The Lunar Planner: Manifesting our Truth

Our last lunar cycle had us clearing away the old and antiquated, emerging from our limiting involvements and belief structures that kept us bound in the cycles of the past. Most importantly, it asked us to realize we create the consuming entrapping monsters of life by the attitudes and beliefs we righteously hold, and that we are responsible to change our attitudes for our life experience to change. This solar eclipse lunar cycle begins a new six-month octave of experiential unfoldment. This cycle is one of building the physical infrastructures that support the new paths and pursuits in our lives, those that await us as we emerge from the limiting shells we had cracked during the past lunar month.

The Vision of Aldebaran

Aldebaran, Eye of the Bull, is one of the ""Four Royal Architects" in the heavens. Directly opposite Aldebaran is Antares, Heart of the Scorpion. Both of these stars mark the centers of their respective signs. The other Royals are Regulus, Heart of the Lion (Leo), the law-giver; and Fomalhaut (in sidereal Aquarius); which holds the future vision for an evolved humanitarian-based society.

In stellar myth, Aldebaran is Vision Holder for the starseed mission on Earth, defining what emissaries of light can best accomplish to serve humanity through evolutionary transition. In down to Earth terms, Aldebaran holds the vision for global leaders and world servers, inspiring the administrative planning of world affairs, specifically for physical logistics and a global infrastructure designed to support humanity through evolutionary unfoldment and global change. Prominent alignments with the Aldebaran / Antares axis can express into the political and global arena. The visions that many people attune to regarding alternative living centres, educational centres, emergency preparedness programmes, etc., are parts of the inspiration from this star’s emanations. Aldebaran can indicate involvement with physical places and projects supportive of alternative modalities of living. It inspires business that supports family. Aldebaran inspires us to take the physical action required to manifest our visions.

The Hyades asterism provides another stellar influence to our lunar theme. The stars of Hyades lie immediately before Aldebaran.

The Starseed Journey

In our stellar myth, young souls from the Pleiades, emissaries of light, on a mission to graduate into the "office of the Christ" (into their own soul awakening) were to come to a planet (Earth) and aid its people during a principal evolutionary transition. This task was to be accomplished without interfering or manipulating evolutionary affairs, to learn to become true servers and guides. They were to help seed the "Vision of Aldebaran."

The Pleiades lies earlier in sidereal Taurus (~5°). It also lies further distant from Earth that the Hyades. Alcyone of the Pleiades is ~450 light years away from Earth. The Hyades asterism lies about 150 light years. Aldebaran, the closest of the three, lies about 68 light years from Earth. Hence, the emissaries' journey from the Pleiades through Hyades (hell) to manifest the Vision of Aldebaran articulates the journey through the first half of sidereal Taurus. In this myth, the starseeds lost the vision of which they were to manifest, and under which they were sanctioned to Earth. Their vision had become obscured due to the tempting and alluring nature of human physically. Alignments with Hyades are indicative of those who forgot their true soul origin and purpose on Earth, those blinded by their entrenchment in the physicality of human life.

Our Aldebaran / Hyades Lunar Theme is about reclaiming our vision and taking the action to manifest that vision in and through the material affairs of the world--through the, often time, hellish, diversionary conditions of physical life.

Ignition: Uranus & Mars

Uranus begins its retrograde period on June 6, just before the First Quarter Moon. Mars will eventually conjoin retrograde Uranus later in the lunar cycle, on June 23, after the Last Quarter Moon--in the "Initiate Change" part of the lunar cycle. This conjunction heralds dynamic and intensified change.

Uranus made its crossing from sidereal Capricorn into sidereal Aquarius, its home domicile, in early 2002. This placement is an extremely prominent and beneficent event for humanity. Uranus remains in its empowering home for seven years. This marks the time where we radically sever from self-interest and covert maneuvers that maintain divisions amongst people, to humanitarian interest and a future vision of one world.

Uranus begins its current retrograde and conjoins Mars under the auspices of several fortuitous and prominent stars: Enif of Pegasus; Sadalmelik, the lucida of Aquarius; Fomalhaut, Alpha Pisces Australis, the southern fish (which lies beneath Aquarius), and Deneb, the messianic head of the precessional cycle of the Holy Cross, Alpha Cygnus.

Fomalhaut embodies all that has to do with humanitarian vision and support. Fomalhaut holds the ideal future vision for an evolved humanitarian society--also associated with advanced art-sciences.

Sadalmelik Alpha Aquarius is the "lucky one of the kingdom." Sadalmelik brings fortuitous capacity to be recognized and accepted in the kingdom of human affairs, it is of those in the upper echelons of life--especially in the arts and sciences.

In the northern heavens lies Deneb, the tail of the swan. Cygnus is also the Messianic Needle of the Heavens (Takra). Deneb, as the first primary star encountered in Earth's precessional cycle, appropriately is the messianic head of the precessional cycle of the Holy Cross--embodying our God-Essence in the evolutionary cycle of the soul. Deneb inspires participation from the androgynous pure essence of our souls while expressing into the incarnate world of human sexuality and duality. Deneb asks us to stand in our pure soul awareness.

Enif of Pegasus, the nose of the Magical Flying Horse, brings intuitiveness and sensitivity to the humanitarian Aquarian pursuit, with the capacity to recognize what is of essence, of value, and worthy of support. Enif is of people capable of providing humanitarian material support.

The amalgamated theme of these stars infuses into the Mars-Uranus alignment. This is significant for a few reasons. Mars is completing it previous 780-day synodic cycle, which was under the auspices of the Sting of the Scorpion (running from June 13, 2001 through August 28, 2003). Mars will begin its new 780-day synodic cycle in sidereal Aquarius, under the auspices of these very stars. This pre-event conjunction to the new Mars cycle is the inauguration for radical change in the patriarchal aspect of the world, the use of creative force in general, and in the "Mars facet" of our selves as it expresses in our lives.

Another reason emphasizing the significance of this new synodic cycle is a rare and special alignment between the Sun, Earth, and Mars:

The Pluto Full Moon & the Black Holes of Change

Pluto, in the midst of its retrograde, begins its new synodic cycle on June 9, in the "action quarter" of this lunar cycle. Our Full Moon of June 14 is preceded with a Moon-Pluto conjunction--both contributing to the potent transitional energy of this lunar cycle. This is serving us by creating the openings for the radical changes required to occur in our lives. Pluto, the opener, works for the soul--destructuring limitations at the personality level to ensure the mission of the incarnating soul prevails. Pluto currently resides in Ophiuchus, the thirteenth ecliptical constellation (in the sign of sidereal Scorpio), just above the star Sabik.

Ophiuchus lies above and on the ecliptic, standing over the Scorpion, which swings quite south of the ecliptic under Ophiuchus. Antares, heart of the Scorpion, defines the center of the sidereal sign of Scorpio, the Serpent Point, and embodies the essence of the Scorpio constellation. Antares lies below the ecliptic as well, in the body of the Scorpion. Because Ophiuchus actually crosses the ecliptic, it is the thirteenth ecliptical constellation lying in the sidereal sign of Scorpio.

Ophiuchus is knowledge holder of DNA Illumination and Ascension procedures--one who has attained the ascension from the lower-order forces that perpetuate re-incarnational entrapment. In Greek myth, Aesculapius, the mediciner of the ship Argo, is also imaged as Ophiuchus, knowledgeable of advanced healing processes beyond the cycle of life and death. The Christian resurrected Jesus (Jeshu) also articulates the theme of Ophiuchus.

In our stellar image, Ophiuchus stands with the serpent (Serpentis) coiled around his body, and held in his hands. The neck and head of the serpent reach toward the Northern Crown (Corona Borealis), which lies above the Chelae (claws) of the Scorpion. The neck (Unukalhai) and head of the snake embody the essence and wisdom of living true to soul, in one's true self-mastery--a Christed being of light.

Ophiuchus is exemplar of mastery over the powers of life and death, master over the very raw creative forces of life. Ophiuchus embodies bringing this interplay of forces to a greater spiritual fulfillment. The astronomical symbol of Ophiuchus is the caduceus--the medical, entwined double serpent--the double helix of the DNA.

Ophiuchus and the sidereal sign of Scorpio are associated with the soul's education regarding the use of sexual creative forces and raw creative power. This entire image of Ophiuchus standing upon the scorpion with this magnificent snake reaching for the North Crown represents claiming our self-mastery to attain evolutionary fulfillment out of the karmic-based reincarnational process. This is to become ascended in vibration, an illumined being free from perpetuated reincarnational entrapment.

Pluto's new 367-day synodic cycle is catalyzed by the power of two principle black holes: one on the tail of the Scorpion (3U1700–37 with a 3.4 day eclipse rate x-ray emitting star); and the Ara Black Hole (V821), on the Altar of the Centaur.

Simply, the Ara Black Hole demands we surrender the griefs, regrets, and disappointments of the past. The Black Hole on the tail of the Scorpion demands we communicate our truth and live that truth. Inevitably, there is resistance (at the personality level) to do either, but ultimately the truth will emerge and the truth will reign. Pluto's role here will mercilessly ensure it. Making passage through these black holes is essential to allow us to participate in harmony and in time with hard-driving and accelerating currents heralding the radical changes occurring in our lives.

As with all black holes, this feat is one that we must do within our selves, and it is an all-or-nothing deal with no in-betweens. It requires we surrender our lower-order mental-emotional patterns with conscious deliberation, to let them be consumed and extinguished, and to then re-emerge with the purity we have gained from the transmutational process in a new demonstrable expression.

Our Full Moon conjoins Ras Alhague, the head and lucida of Ophiuchus, which embodies the essence of the constellation. The Moon also lies over the sting of the Scorpion bringing realization about living in our self-mastery as the powerful transmutational elixir made from the sting of life's experience forces us to change.

What is Truly Nourishing?

Venus, Ceres, and Mercury conjoin from June 16 through June 20, centering on the "Manifestation and Demonstration" Moon. Mercury and Venus will remain conjoined for a few weeks to come--fusing heart and (redefined) mind. This completes the Mercury cycle we had been in--referred to in the last lunar month's text. This served as a period of redefining our beliefs and clearing our righteous attitudes about that which is truly nourishing. Guess where the answer is found? Now it is time to live it.

The Solstice / Initiate Change

Our Last Quarter Moon of June 21, immediately preceding the solstice, activates the Holy Cross. The Sun lies upon the Gate of Man" at 5° sidereal Gemini, while the Moon (90° degrees away) lies upon the wet primordial origin of humankind. This provides our "Inner Need" to "Initiate Change"--stimulating our responsibility to return to the original truth of our souls and to make passage back across the anakaranic bridge of separation, into the unified field of galactic awareness (God / cosmic consciousness). Please see the web page: "Divine Union in the Cycle of the Holy Cross."

An excerpt from "Erection of the Holy Cross"

"At this time in the "Cycle of the Holy Cross," as the Godhead (North Celestial Pole) crosses the Gate of Man, the Birthplace (vernal point) moves to 5° Pisces, which is the ecliptical longitude of the Polar Origin, the location of the North Celestial Pole (NCP) at the beginning of Earth's precessional cycle. This precessional orientation reveals the need to embrace our primordial genetic origins and all that we have been with unconditional acceptance (beyond mental judgment), from the experiential wisdom gained by our souls--to embrace the material fully with the spiritual."

Increased Earthgrid Activity

There is a potential for increased seismic activity due to Saturn's arival on the Holy Cross Node (A-GEN) the Gate of Man. One planet alone is not a signifier for seismic activity however. Other aspects triggering the Saturn-GEN node are required for strong Earthgrid resonances to occur, as well as those aspects being angular at specific Earthgrid locations. The window for increased activity extends from late May through the entire month of June.

A New Octave for Covenant Relations

On June 25, on the Balsamic Moon, we coalesce the events of the lunar cycle into seed form and turn our attention toward the future cycle to come. And just before the New Moon to come, a time of "surrender and play" (June 28-29), we complete the Juno retrograde period--a primary redefining period for relationships. Juno began a new synodic cycle in the last lunar cycle during its retrograde. We can now go forth in the new Juno theme and in our newly defined relations. To review the Juno theme please see "A New Octave for Covenant Relations" in the previous lunar month's text.

As always the experiential wisdom gained in this cycle has prepared us for the next. The following Lunar Cycle begins on June 29 in the midst of the Twins--sidereal Gemini.
