The Grand Finale of 2017

WOW!!! What a Cosmic year 2017 has been, and December is like the finale of a fireworks show! I could not resist including Lady Liberty (above) in honor of the magnificent supporting roles of Uranus (Cosmic Liberator) and Eris (Goddess of Radical Truth) for this year’s main event who, in my opinion, is Saturn ~ our Cosmic Gatekeeper.

In March, I wrote about the significance of Saturn’s dance with our Galactic Center that has been in motion all year:

Saturn is conjoined with our Galactic Center! Our Galactic Center is located at 26° of Sagittarius. It is the second most powerful point on your natal chart next to the Sun. Just as the Sun represents our Heart, the Galactic Center represents the Heart of our Galaxy. It is the Sun of our Sun.

Saturn has been exactly conjoined with the Galactic Center (GC) since February 18th. On March 6th, Saturn moved to 27°. However, Saturn will retrograde back over the GC in May and November before moving out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn. Keywords for Saturn that are often overlooked are WISDOM and DESTINY. Saturn requires patience, and through patience, we will be receiving The Gifts from the Goddess, as the reemergence of Goddess Wisdom through NEW Aquarian Goddess Archetypes, directly from the Sacred Feminine right through our Galactic Center ALL YEAR!

Saturn is our Cosmic Gatekeeper. He allows all things from the Cosmos to come through and be made manifest on Earth. He provides the foundation for that which we create in the same way that a loom is the foundation for a tapestry, a canvas is the foundation for a painting, a choreography is the foundation for a dance, or an architectural design is the foundation for a building.

With Saturn conjoined the Galactic Center, a cosmic gateway has been opened to allow us to receive the FIRE (Wisdom) from “the Gods.” This FIRE is initiating our Inner Masculine and Inner Feminine into an energetically NEW foundation ~ a foundation of Higher Resonance ~ from which to engage with the world and Humanity. ALL of this Expansion of the Collective Consciousness is connected. They are fractals of our Ascension Process. ~ excerpt from The Illuminating Gift of the Goddess.

We began 2017 with a Full Moon in Cancer, one corner of a transformative Grand Cross which I envisioned as a Shamanic Initiation from the Great Mother. I did not see then, as I do now in hindsight, that the Grand Cross energies were preparing us AND Saturn for His(Her) journey Home to Capricorn at this Winter SOLstice:

What are we “to do” to receive this Shamanic Initiation by the Great Mother? We BREATHE. Our breath is our most “tangible” expression of our Spirit ~ our Soul. We ALLOW. Allowing is how we Surrender to Her. Our Spirit’s deepest desire is to co-create with Source. Our surrender to the Goddess facilitates the co-creative process. In our allowing, we become AWARE. By being AWARE, we consciously experience the re-balancing of our Inner Feminine.

In our personal lives, our families and our communities, we have been in relationship with the Great Mother through Nature (Earth – Gaia) and our Elders, our Grandmothers. It is a relationship that hangs on by a thread. The Spider is a symbol of the Grandmother:

As the weaver of the web, the spider symbolizes the spirit of creation. In several traditions, she’s the totemic symbol of the Mother, strong feminine energy. In Ancient Egypt, the spider was used as a symbol to represent the goddess of the Divine Mother, Neith. In some American Indian tribes, it is considered as the symbol for the creator of the world and by extension is associated with the female creative energy. ~ www.spiritanimalinfo.com

The Great Mother’s Shamanic Initiation is prompting us and inspiring us to reweave our relationship with Her. The Grand Cross provides an exquisite foundation for us upon which we can take the frayed and lost threads to begin reweaving our new interconnection ~ where that which was once severed becomes reunited. ~ excerpt from Shamanic Initiation from the Great Mother.

So, this is what the entire year of 2017 has been about ~ discovering the Truth about Saturn before She returns to Her Home in Capricorn to help us climb the Mountain that each of us came to scale in our process of reweaving our new interconnection with the Great Mother and Her Daughter ~ Gaia ~ our home.

“SHE,” some may be asking and scratching their head??!!

Yes … She. It should come as no surprise, that like many aspects and representations of the Goddess that were usurped or annihilated by the Patriarchy, Saturn is a Goddess, very likely known as Saturnia prior to the Etruscan civilization (originating in the 7th century BC), not a God.

There is an ancient village in Tuscany, Italy by the name of Saturnia, a spa town. They say the village was named for the Roman God, Saturn, yet I propose this is just another plot twist that has been handed down by Patriarchy. The clues to Saturnia’s ancient past lie in its legend that Saturn, having grown tired of humanity’s constant warring, “sent a thunderbolt to earth that created a magic spring of warm sulphurous water which would pacify mankind.” Further, the main church in Saturnia is The Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, another strong tie to the Sacred Feminine.

Menrfa, Goddess of Wisdom, is one of the MAJOR Etruscan Goddesses with a temple in every Etruscan city. She was often portrayed as a “lightning thrower!” Like the Greek God Saturn, whose parents are the Sky and the Earth, Menrfa is the daughter of Tinia (Sky Father) and Uni (Earth Mother), all three of whom had the power to “wield thunderbolts.” Interestingly, Tinia, Uni and Menrfa are considered a triple deity, very much like a triple moon Goddess (maiden ~ mother ~ crone), and it is said that Menrfa’s name came from the Moon Goddess, Meneswā, “She who measures.”

“She who measures” is another clue leading us to the Truth of Saturn being a Goddess as Saturn in Greek is known as Cronus, the God of Time, subsequently giving us Father Time, a marker or “measurer” of time. I find it interesting that in the Greek mythology, Saturn was expelled from the home of the Greek Gods and banished. I believe this is really a smoke screen for the banishment, by the Patriarchy, of Goddess Saturn from Her connection to the Sacred Feminine.

The name “Cronus” provides another clue for us as a derivative of the word “crone” ~ the Archetypal Wise Woman. Speaking of wise women, Menerfa is depicted with Her Sacred Animal, the Owl ~ strongly associated with the moon and feminine energy. The Owl is a symbol found, too, in the indigenous cultures and associated with the Grandmothers (the crones ~ the elders ~ the wisdom keepers).

The word crone has been given a negative connotation by Patriarchy to evoke an image of an old, ugly woman or a hag, and has stripped the crone of the respect once afforded her for her wisdom. The word crone originates from the old word for crown ~ crowen ~ to represent the wisdom emanating from their heads like a halo. Other Wisdom Goddesses that may give us clues to Saturn’s original Sacred Feminine identity are:

Mother Holle (German) ~ The Wise Queen of Winter
Cerridwen (Celtic) ~ The Wisdom Keeper, the Keeper of the Cauldron (which represents the wisdom of old age)
Lilith (Hebrew) ~ Guardian of Women’s Mysteries

We seek out knowledge to guide us during life’s hardships and transitions. I believe this is the authentic role of Saturn rather than rigidity, hardship and obstruction that have been laid upon Her. Just as an Olympic Coach is dedicated to the success of her athlete, Saturn is dedicated to our success. She is determined to get us to the top of our Mountain.

True to Her dedication, I have received some inspirations from Saturn during this current Mercury Retrograde period regarding Her higher frequencies:

She supports us in letting go of control, so that we can allow the Creative Life Force to flow through us and into manifestation.
She creates new Sacred Vessels to hold the Sacred Feminine.
She renovates damaged structures and restores old ones.
She rebuilds destroyed structures to provide new foundations in Service to Home, Family and Community.

While Saturn has been journeying through the realm of Sagittarius (the sign of Truth and Integrity), She has been doing all of those things within us and on the planet in Service to the Great Mother. She has been guiding us into a new way of living in Truth. She has been bringing us into integrity by inspiring us to align our thoughts, words and deeds.

During the Holiday Season, we decorate our homes with lights. Likewise, in preparation for the Winter SOLstice (12/21), Saturn will stand at the threshold of Her Home, 0° Capricorn, tomorrow (12/20) and hold open Its gateway, so that the Sun’s brilliant rays of Light can Illuminate Her and the Circle of Grandmothers. Saturn has waited 29 years for this Cosmic Event, and the Galactic Center has prepared Her well.

For the next 2 1/2 – 3 years, Saturn will be ushering us into a more mature level of Consciousness that will elicit a new found responsibility for creating Home, Family and Community that is INCLUSIVE ~ building cultural structures with everyone in mind … our natural resources (land, air & water), our animals and our children.

We are being moved beyond the conditioning patterns of conformity to consensus reality (the old Capricorn paradigm) and into realignment and balance with natural laws and nature (the Great Mother of Cancer). ~ Mark Jones (NOTE: parenthetical remarks are my own.)

This brings us full circle to my very first post of the year where I foretold the reweaving of our new interconnection with the Great Mother and Her Daughter ~ Gaia ~ our home.

There are so many examples in our daily news cycle that highlight how Humanity is not living in integrity among ourselves or with our planet. One of the most vile ways we have shirked our responsibility is with the lack of respect for our children and our disregard for their safety. The Goddess Saturn and the Circle of Grandmothers (Capricorn) are asking us to step up and create a culture where it is safe for our children to live. This is a crucial piece of the reweaving that Humanity must accomplish. Will we finally put our children’s well-being above politics and economics? We can be assured that Pluto, who has been travelling through Capricorn since 2008, will make sure that we do. And, by the end of next year, Jupiter will move into Capricorn to expand Saturn’s and Pluto’s efforts.

Meanwhile, towards that end, on December 13th, NINE days before the Winter SOLstice, the planet Eris (Goddess of Radical Truth) conjoined Uranus (Cosmic Liberator) in Aries were in trine to our Sun conjoined Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius.

Eris holds the Golden Apple, a symbol for Knowledge of our True SELF and Its deepest Values ~ that place within us that calls us to Action ~ a Call we cannot and will not deny. She has been moving back and forth over 23 degrees of Aries since 6/21/2014 and will continue to do so until 2/5/2023. For nearly 9 years, She is holding this Sacred Space for us within the Sky bringing significant activations to our Multidimensional Selves. While Uranus is dancing with Her (from 4/12/2014 – 3/11/2026) over the course of 12 years, Eris is empowering Him, bringing a sense of “shock & awe” to our liberating breakthroughs, breakthroughs that include important knowledge about our deep Soul intentions for our personal evolution.

ALL OF THAT was being encoded into our Heart Consciousness, by the Sun (your Heart Portal) / Mercury (Cosmic Messenger) Retrograde conjunction, as a deep recognition of Self-Integration and Self-Expression.

At the Total SOLar Eclipse in Leo back in August, our Hearts which had been remolded to mirror our Evolving Souls’ Expansion, essentially underwent Their first firing in the kiln. At the POWERFUL December 13th Trine, our Newly Molded Hearts received the Glaze ~ the information that Eris and Uranus have been sending us about our Selves ~ the Truth about our deep values ~ which will permanently be emblazoned upon our newly expanded Hearts through the second kiln firing during the upcoming 2018 SOLar Eclipse on February 15th.

This is it, Beloveds! We are READY. This Winter SOLstice marks the BEGINNING! The New Earth IS taking form now. We are the Ones Humanity has been waiting for. We have been seeding our Hearts and the Collective Consciousness with Unity Consciousness for 23,765 years, since the last Capricorn Age. We will put our egoic-selves aside, and work together as a global community to acknowledge the Creative Value and Potential of every Individual.

The spiritual sun is a living and divine fire, and the source of creation, as explained in ancient sacred texts from around the world. However, as creation follows universal principles, the birth of the sun as the light of the first day also represents the birth of the light of our spiritual sun within us. It is born into the time of most darkness ~ the physical sun gives life to the external world, the spiritual sun gives spiritual life to the individual. ~ The Path of the Spiritual Sun, by Belsebuub

We are living in such glorious times and are co-creating such Beauty with the Luminous Bodies of our Galactic Home. At this Winter SOLstice, I bow to our Sun and to Goddess Saturn for shining Their Lights within and without as we “fulfill the cycle of discovery and expansion and unfolding and coming together.” ~ Abraham-Hicks

For those who desire assistance with their Soul Expansion Journey, I invite you to schedule a Shamanic AstroSOL™ reading.

May your Hearts be filled with the Peace and Joy of the Season.
Many blessings to you, Beloveds!

Surrendering to COSMIC Consciousness

Chiron (our Cosmic Shaman) has reached the critical point (29°) of Pisces, okay technically 28°52′, AND that is “close enough for government work” as they say. He has been sitting here (stationed) for FOUR days and will spend another FOUR days here before beginning His retrograde. (Yes, I am aware most people say the journey begins tomorrow, July 1st.) Chiron will follow this path back through Pisces until He reaches 24°19′ of Pisces the day after our Independence Day celebration.

IMAGINE!!! Our Cosmic Shaman is beaming His Shamanic Medicine to us from this critical point in the Sky for EIGHT days!! Before Chiron can move from Pisces into Aries, where He will infuse us with His Shamanic Medicine of standing in the frequency of SELF~Love, He is making sure we have received ALL of His Medicine for being able to Merge ourselves with our Divine Selves and for being able to surrender to Cosmic Consciousness while maintaining our Awareness of our Selves.

The number 8 represents the symbol for INFINITY ~ that which we know as Cosmic Consciousness. According to Numerologist Joanne Walmsley, the frequency of the number 8 includes:

compassion
spiritual consciousness
expansion
dimension of the timeless
ability to see and relate to eternal dimensions
breaks down barriers to transformation
a desire for peace and a love of humanity and world transformation.

These are the very themes of the Shamanic Medicine of Chiron in Pisces!!!

Chiron’s retrograde journey will take us all the way into December back to 24°19′ of Pisces. The last time Chiron visited this place in the Sky was March 8th of this year, just 10 days after the New Moon in Pisces. What was showing up in your life 3 /2 months ago? I had written this post on The Illuminating Gift of the Goddess.

The Sabian Symbol for 24° Pisces is A Religious Organization Succeeds In Overcoming The Corrupting Influence Of Perverted Practices and Materialized Ideals. There is something VERY IMPORTANT about this symbol that Chiron is ensuring that we receive before He is ready to move out of Pisces. I believe that it has to do with this message from Tara Greene about Healing the Original Wound:

Chiron turns Retro at 28+ degrees PISCES, take us all back into opening up and revisiting the original wounds we need to heal for the sake of all of humanity now. I was reading something about this earlier. To heal the original wound in humanity is to heal the split of the Patriarchy, its’ deluded fear of women’s power and its own sense of inherent weakness and separation from Source because they do not participate directly in birthing. The Patriarchy has dominated women and nature and controlled women and men for over 5,000 years now through brainwashing, indoctrination using religion as its #1 weapon. The original wound is always fear and not love no matter who it is directed at. If men could only face their own sense of vulnerability and heal that the world would be a better more compassionate and more loving place.

AND, I have received the Wisdom that the Women on our planet are the Way-Showers for this healing. Until there exists a critical mass for the number of women who have cleared the remnants of the Wound of Patriarchy within them, so that they can allow themselves to reconnect with the Sacred Masculine within (requiring deep Trust in BEing vulnerable), the men on the planet will be unable to embrace their own vulnerability.

It is not the responsibility of the men to establish a more loving and compassionate world. It is the responsibility of ALL of us to do this work, with the women leading the way. As women, it is US who have the capacity to hold the space of COMPASSION for both the Wound of the Patriarchy AND the Patriarchy, Itself. This is the bridge that must be built FIRST.

Felina Lune Kavi also speaks to the Wound:

Chiron in Pisces is essentially a wound of separation from Great Spirit, marked by a healing path in service to Spirit and a desire for Divine Love expressed through us … The gift within that wound is a wellspring of unconditional, transpersonal, universal love that is our remembering of and reconnecting with the Divine within.

My natal Chiron is in Pisces conjunct Jupiter (our Cosmic Guru) in the 9th house (ruled by Jupiter). This is why Hieros Gamos (the Sacred Marriage/Union of the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine) is so important to my Soul and to the work that I offer Humanity in service to both our planet and the Sacred Feminine.

As Chiron stations, He is exactly opposite my natal Vesta in Virgo. As a High Priestess, I must rebirth the Wisdom of Hieros Gamos onto the planet, and Chiron, as our Cosmic Shaman, provides me with the Shamanic Medicine, the source of my Sacred Gift, to bring this Wisdom forth into the Collective Consciousness for the healing of Humanity.

This year, 2017, is a POWERFUL year of Celestial Support for the Expansion of Consciousness and the clearing and re-balancing of the Collective Consciousness.

YOUR ROLE IS VITAL!

And, a key component of my work is to support you in doing your work! Thus, because of my Vow to the Sacred Feminine and the urgency I feel in bringing forth the Wisdom of Hieros Gamos, I am now offering the following TWO GIFTS in support of all Planetary Healers, Light Workers, Galactic Beings, Shamans, Priestesses, Artists, Mothers & Muses.

Opening your Heart to the Sacred Masculine

SACRED MASCULINE & SACRED FEMININE

Well, Gorgeous Goddesses, it’s been a month since I have reached out to share in a significant way. Since my Alchemical Creation High Priestess Emergence Ceremony, I have been discovering a new center within myself. The Gemini New Moon energies were significantly supportive of my Magical Maiden and her playful settling into this new space of creation.

Today is our Sagittarius Full Moon at 18°! Sagittarius is the Lover of Truth and the Quest for meaning and purpose. Sagittarius inspires expanded states of consciousness. I love this Full Moon because my Inner/Sacred Feminine (Venus) is in Sagittarius. She loves to have the spotlight on Her and to receive Illumination from the Divine Mother (Luna).

The foundation for this Sagittarius Full Moon is the FIRE trine between the North Node (our Cosmic GPS) and the Saturn/Galactic Center conjunction. I have written earlier this year about the significance of Saturn being conjoined with our Galactic Center ~ the HEART of our Galaxy ~ which is streaming the Sophia-Christ Consciousness energies straight into our own Hearts, like an arrow hitting the center of a bull’s eye. You can read about that here. The significance of this FIRE trine is that it is reassuring Humanity that we are exactly where we are supposed to be in our evolution. Everything that we are experiencing is PERFECT!

There are four other significant streams of energy coming through at this time that are being fed power and momentum from the FIRE trine. In fact, the Cosmic FUELing of these streams of energy is more potent than any energy source we are currently aware of on our planet! WHEW!!! You ARE feeling it, aren’t you?!?!

These FOUR significant streams of energy are pouring in from:

the Venus (2TA39) / Mercury (3GE54) semi-sextile,
the Mercury (3GE54) / Mars (2CN52) semi-sextile,
the Moon (18SG22) / Pluto (18CP51) semi-sextile, and
the Venus (2TA39) / Mars (2CN52) sextile.

Please take particular note that two of the energies paving the way for our integrative opportunities are Mercury in Gemini and Moon (Luna) in Sagittarius. Mercury (Cosmic Messenger) and Luna (Divine Mother) are holding the polarities of the Relationship Path of the Quest Mate, which is being activated by our New Moon in Gemini and Full Moon in Sagittarius this month! Through the Relationship Path of the Quest Mate, we are desiring to be with the person(s) who support our spiritual quest ~ our search for Truth. This person is very likely NOT your significant other, and it is a beautiful experience when it is. That is because the Quest Mate relationship requires much SPACE and FREEDOM. Thus, we often recognize this relationship through the Guru/Disciple dynamic. Remember, we are forging new territory in Sagittarius, so the old ways of the Guru/Disciple may be too limiting for you depending on where you are in your personal evolution. At this Sagittarius Full Moon, the Inner Guru is your Quest Mate. How do you define your Inner Guru in this moment? Is it your Inner Feminine or your Inner Masculine? Is it the Divine Mother or Divine Father? Perhaps the Goddess or the Priestess Oversoul is your Quest Mate right now. OR, maybe your Power Animal is desiring you to recognize it. It is important for you to be aware of your Inner Guru, so that you can consciously engage with It. Your Inner Guru IS absolutely revealing Itself to you right now!

Let’s take a deeper look at the Mercury / Mars and Moon / Pluto semi-sextiles:

Mercury (Cosmic Messenger and ruler of Gemini) is amplifying your ability to commune with both your inner world and the Cosmos. It is clearing a way through the Fears and the Shadow of Patriarchy for you to rediscover and re-establish your connection with your Inner/Sacred Masculine (Mars). In Cancer, the “softer” side of the Sacred Masculine is available to us. We can feel safe to hear Him and to be Present with Him. He is desiring for you to know how much He loves and cherishes you. He is desiring for you to know that He will care for you, support you and protect you, if you will open your Heart to Him and TRUST Him. Mercury in Gemini has opened-up the space within you to receive this message from your Inner/Sacred Masculine. Relationships are a two-way street. He has been talking to you throughout your whole life, and His messages to you have been hitting up against the wall that all your fears around the Wound of the Patriarchy have created within you. It is time, Beloved, to bring this wall down so that you can reconnect and re-engage with the nurturing love and commitment of your Inner/Sacred Masculine. It is time to relax into His embrace for He is truly the safe space in which you can allow yourself to be vulnerable.

Luna (Divine Mother) in Sagittarius is bringing forth the TRUTH about the Wound of the Patriarchy and its perversion of the Sacred Masculine energy. The Truth is that we MUST reconnect with the Sacred Masculine. This IS the only way to restore the Culture of Sovereignty and re-establish Sacred Relationship. Until we reconnect with the Sacred Masculine, our Inner Masculine and our Inner Feminine cannot achieve Sacred Union ~ Hieros Gamos. Hieros Gamos is the Way to Enlightenment. For all those that are desiring Ascension, Hieros Gamos is the WAY. Ascension is the process of expanding your consciousness into Sofia-Christ Consciousness. When your consciousness is ONE with the Sofia-Christ Consciousness, you have become Enlightened.

As Luna beams this Truth across our Cosmos, the Ancient Elder (Capricorn) within each of us is remembering this Truth and re-embracing this Wisdom. This is the Truth that will set us FREE! Our Inner Ancient Elder’s have been awakened by this “shot heard ’round the world” and are NOW consciously co-creating with the transformational and empowering energies of Pluto. Humanity is recognizing the wake of destruction that has been left by the Patriarchy to our planet, its resources, our families, our women and our children. Pluto has initiated the collapse of all our social systems that hold us prisoner to patriarchal domination and abuse. Pluto has initiated the collapse of all the false beliefs that hold us prisoner to fear. Now, together, we can empower ourselves through the Truth and Wisdom being received at this time to reclaim our Sovereignty and restore our Planet for the next Seven Generations!

Now, let’s take a deeper look at the Venus (2TA39) / Mercury (3GE54) semi-sextile and the Venus (2TA39) / Mars (2CN52) sextile:

Venus (Sacred Feminine) in Taurus is paving the way for the message (Mercury) from the Sacred Masculine (Mars) to be received into your Sacred Vessel ~ your body ~ planting (grounding) its resonance into every part of your DNA. Together, Venus and Mars are activating your Inner Feminine and Inner Masculine, preparing your Inner World for the transformational seeds of Their paradigm-shifting Reality and Truth. It is the seeds of their Truth that will rebirth the Culture of Sovereignty and Sacred Relationship through each of us!

I remind you that Saturn is conjoined with our Galactic Center in Sagittarius (the sign of Truth and Integrity). Saturn is building the foundation upon which the Wound of the Patriarchy will be healed gracefully through love, compassion and forgiveness, so that the re-emergence of the Sacred Feminine can be fully actualized. With the restoration of the Sacred Masculine energy and the re-emergence of the Sacred Feminine energy, the Inner Masculine and the Inner Feminine within all of Humanity will once more be balanced. Just to ensure the success of this Cosmic Decree, the Sophia-Christ Consciousness is being poured into us individually and globally through the Heart of our Galaxy.

If you would like to know how these current energies are unfolding within you, I invite you schedule an Inner Fire Walk reading with me. When you use the CODE: TRUTH, I will give you a 20% discount. This offer expires on the New Moon in Cancer, June 23rd.

By the way, on June 23rd, Luna will have traveled across the Sky to stand where Mars (Sacred Masculine) is right now. What a blessing from the Divine Mother!!

I also invite you to share your feedback in the comments below. Thank you!

Much LOVE to each of you!
