Root Chakra Gate Activation ~ 1st Night of Fall Navaratri

Though we can’t see Her in this image from my SOLarium window, we know that the Sacred Feminine (Venus) is standing within 13 degrees (Mystical Number) of our Great Star 🌟 ~ BEing FUELED & ILLUMINATED for us & within us.  This is a purely auspicious moment to experience the Collaborative Integration of Shailputri Devi’s Divine Mother (Moon) energies, whose color is RED (Root Chakra), with Inanna’s Root Chakra Gate Activation that took place today with the Moon/Venus conjunction at 18° Libra ~ the number of Isis! 

Navaratri is a 9-night festival celebrating Maha Durga’s victories over the demons that keep us from realising the Divine.  Inanna, too, makes Her Ascent accompanied by Demons. As we make this Ascent, the Demons we are accompanied by are our own Demons, aspects of ourselves that we have judged wrong, unworthy and unlovable.  NOW, with the Ascent of the Libra Relational Goddess aspect of the Sacred Feminine (Venus), we are being given the opportunity to MAKE PEACE with ourselves by making peace with the Demons we will encounter at each Gate (Chakra). When we make peace with these parts of our Selves, we come into a whole, healthy, balanced & loving relationship with our bodies, minds & Souls.

I began the work with my own Demons while on my recent Magdalene Journey  (9/8-9/17) in the Languedoc Region of Southeast France. I discuss part of this in my previous post with respect to my experience at Queribus.  As I mentioned, I continued to be introduced to my Demons throughout the remainder of our journey. Here is a brief list of some that I encountered that are clearly Root Chakra Demons:

1. Control Freak Demon 
2. Anxious and Afraid Demon 
3. Angry Demon
4. Squandering Life Force Demon
5. Insufficient Boundaries Demon
6. Terrified, Worried, Scared Demon
7. No Energy, Lack of Vitality Demon

The day after Queribus, we made our way from the heights of the Pyrenees down to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Through the course of that sojourn, my body begin to fill up with fluid. The edema was so severe that I felt like the character Violet Beauregarde from the Willy Wonka movie when she blew up like a blueberry.  My calves were the size of bowling balls! I could barely slide my feet into my sandals, and it felt like I was walking on stakes. I had absolutely no range of motion. I could barely bend my knees to lift my feet up onto a very shallow step. The weight of the fluid that was engulfing me felt like I was being buried under boulders, and when I laid down, I felt like I was drowning.  All of the water showing up in my body coincided with arriving at the waters of the Mediterranea and being immersed in the Magdalene Cancerian water energies that were flowing in trine to the Neptune Piscean water energies on the first night of the Full Moon in Pisces.

The next day, I was very uncertain as to how I would be able to navigate the rest of our journey.  My Venus Buddy, Maureen Paxton, was my roomie, and she was quickly able to discern that the edema was a manifestation of an Energy of Protection that I had called-in at my earliest moments of life on this planet to protect myself from the Demons that were already quite present.  She intuited that the time had finally come for me to let go of this Protection as it no longer served me, and I instantly resonated with the Truth of it. I was receiving Cosmic support for this piece of my Death & Rebirth Initiatory Rite from the Pluto/Medusa conjunction in Capricorn occurring on my Natal Sun (Natal 7th House ruled by the Libra Meta Goddess! / Solar 12th House including our personal demons) in trine to the Sun in Virgo (Solar 8th House).  The LIGHT ~ Vital Life Force Energy ~ both Above me and Within me was going out like a candle being extinguished. We also actually witnessed this energy begin to lift off of me in wafts of dark shadows! 

After this amazing experience, wherein some of the fluid had dissipated enough to allow me to walk, we went to the site of an ancient Isis Temple in Collioure.

As we sat upon the site being nourished by Isis, I suddenly recognized that we were surrounded by a mound of  dark jagged rocks. I realized that the rocks were a physical manifestation of how I was experiencing the Energy of Protection.  I was ready to let it go, to be freed from the weight of it. I thanked it for its Sacred Service (Mars in Virgo) to me, and I released it with Love and Appreciation (Libra Meta Goddess).

After our visit to the Isis Temple, we planned to visit Eglise Notre Dame des Anges (Church of Our Lady of the Angels) and the Château Royal de Collioure ~ a massive royal castle for the King of Aragon. However, the remnant patriarchal energies of these ancient buildings were too suffocating for me to encounter while still in my vulnerable physical condition. So, I sat by the sea as my fellow Spiritual Luminaries engaged with the next steps of their own Death & Rebirth Initiation Rites.

It was not until we arrived in Saintes Maries de la Mer that I began to sense that the Full Moon in Pisces activation was illuminating our pathway to today’s First (Root) Chakra Gate activation at our New Moon in Libra.  In truth, it wasn’t until after our group’s final dinner together, while we were standing outside Le Dauphin Bleu next to the Mediterranean Sea under the Full Pisces Moon, that I spoke to them of the significance of the New Moon in Libra to our journey’s continuation.  Between the fluid in my body and the mists of the Neptune energies that blanketed us, I was unable to clearly recognize that in just two days (9/19), Venus would begin Her ASCENT into Her Evening Star journey to reclaim all the POWER Gifts She had surrendered to Her sister, Erishkegal, during Her Morning Star Underworld journey as Inanna.

In Saintes Maries de la Mer, I finally came face-to-face with the Dark Madonna, Sarah ~ daughter of Yeshua and Mary Magdalene, at Eglise des Saintes Maries (Church of Our Ladies of the Sea).  It was for She whom I had come. Her transmission to me, along with the rush of energies I received from the Celtic Springs under the church, knocked me to my knees. I hit the wall. I was done; I was complete.  I was unable to join our group in the sea the next day for our final ceremony. Throughout our entire journey, we had been standing at the Death by Intent Gate ~ and it was grueling. We simply did not know. It was the most arduous experience I have ever encountered.  This trip had not at all been like the fun & relaxing vacation in the South of France that I had imagined and had been looking forward to. From day to day, my mind continuously shifted back and forth between chaos and rage, wondering how the hell I had spent my money on this! (LOL) I’d like to take this moment to apologize to my fellow Spiritual Luminaries for being unable to show up as my BEST Self. I did the best I could!

So here I am, standing at this First Gate in full Activation mode!  And, I AM READY! I am ready to be at peace with all of myself. I am ready to Unconditionally Love and Appreciate all of myself. I am ready to value everything I AM.

I came home with pneumonia and was sent to the ER a week later. I was immediately admitted to the hospital, and I was there for 4 days while my Consciousness drifted back and forth between the veils of this world and the next.  My diagnosis became complicated when the Lung CAT Scan revealed nodes in both of my lungs. The pulmonary doctor believes the nodes could be an immune response to the pneumonia virus. His first question to me was, “Do you have Lupus?”  I have never been diagnosed with Lupus. However, I do have two other Autoimmune Diseases: Fibromyalgia (since age 14) and Hashimoto’s (since my 30’s). The thought of facing a third autoimmune disease was too overwhelming for me to consider as I lay in the hospital.  I was ready to just give up my physical body and return to Source.

Because of my work with The Law of Attraction, I decided to see what Louise Hay has to say about autoimmune diseases and how that may relate to this Root Chakra Gate activation.

She writes, “The growing ‘epidemic’ of stress, lifestyle diseases, and autoimmune diseases has no root cause according to mainstream medicine, yet that root cause seems simple to us: it’s really an epidemic of not loving the self.” ~ emphasis mine

WOW!  We come full circle back around to having to MAKE PEACE with our Demons, so that we can Fully LOVE every part of ourselves, so that we can be Fully EMBODIED.  This is what the Rise of the Sacred Feminine is all about ~ Full Embodiment: Fully Valuing, Fully Honoring, Fully Respecting and Fully Loving the Beauty of our WHOLENESS.

I invite you to choose to Consciously Engage with your own Ascent of the Libra Relational Goddess as an aspect of the Sacred Feminine (Venus) on the RISE! The Gate Activations will be:

1. Root Chakra Gate ~ September 29, 2019
2. Sacral Chakra Gate ~ October 29, 2019
3. Solar Chakra Gate ~ November 28, 2019
4. Heart Chakra Gate ~ December 28, 2019
5. Throat Chakra Gate ~ January 28, 2020
6. Third Eye Chakra Gate ~ February 27, 2020
7. Crown Chakra Gate ~ March 28, 2020
8. Ascension Gate (Life by Intent) ~ April 26, 2020

Today’s Root Chakra Gate Activation is known as the Gate of Manifestation. It is here that Inanna receives Her Royal Red Robe ~ The Garment of Ladyship. Below is a picture of my Venus Altar. You will see that I have placed this Royal Robe around the shoulders of Isis. Both Isis and Inanna are known as The Queen of Heaven. Inanna is an ancient Mesopotamian Goddess while Isis is an ancient Egyptian Goddess.

Here are some PROFOUND themes around Libra as the Relational Goddess of the Sacred Feminine (Venus) along with some juicy questions for us to allow ourselves to dive into deeply. These are offered by Athena MoonShine, and can support us with Consciously Engaging in the healthy renewal of our Root Chakra:

I am home. I belong. I am the Longing, the Passion flowing me forward. I am desire. I am worthy!
So, do I allow myself to experience my root?
Do I call my Ancestors into Ceremony?
Can I Breathe all the way down to this Sacred Space?
Can I touch this space with no shame?
Am I connected to Mother earth? And in deep appreciation of this connection?
Am I ashamed of my Wild Nature?
Do I accept where I’ve come from, who I’ve been, who I am, and my deep seated connection to all that is?
I am Rooted. I am whole.
I am not afraid of the so called darkness. I thrive in any space. Because I am grounded and then I fly.
Am I so rooted in my Self that I can create Harmony with others, as is the Libran Goddess’s desire, who is now setting the stage for the Rising Feminine!
Can I be Whole and rooted and my Self, individualized, creative, authentic, maintaining Self Love and Respect first, while being in Right Relationship and co-creative collaboration with others?
Can I find that balance? Can I remain whole and not lose myself with the other?

Athena MoonShine

These are particularly significant and inspiring for me as Libra is the ruler of my IC ~ our Energetic Tap Root! The Root Chakra Gate Activation (Venus/Moon conjunction in Libra) takes place on my Natal/4th House Black Moon Lilith in my SOLar 9th House.

Lilith has been so present for me, supporting me to become more and more comfortable with the vulnerability that rises when we encounter our Demons. How will She now help teach me to allow myself to more fully explore my Relationship with them to gain new Truths?
