alchemy – Fiesta Estrellas

The divine work IS bringing the divine presence into each new moment, onto the Earth.

The Pisces Partial Lunar Eclipse was on August 27/28. The energy was mystical to a large degree, and the sense of release through surrendering to the divine outcomes was prominent. Uranus brings the “unexpected” to the table with the square aspect at 5 Gemini. This is a strong Mercury-flavored chart with the Mercury/Sun Cazimi (close conjunction) just a day beforehand. Many were finding that the eclipse was helping to close out the larger cycles that tied back to the previous years between March 2015- February 2017, when the eclipse axis was also Pisces/Virgo.

Here’s brief look at the former dates for your introspection regarding the Pisces/Virgo nodes, so you can gaze upon your own life and themes.

1978-1980,

1987-1989,

1997-1998,

2006-2008,

2015-2017,

2024-2027 (with the final eclipse at 2 Virgo, February 20)

The card I pulled for the group of individuals who read my blog is “The Green Woman.” Just looking at the image you can feel the inward gaze of energy into that precious cauldron with the Sheela-Na-Gig. The magical creatures in the hands of the Green Woman with her mouth and eyes yielding to the creative energy within her as fresh leaves sprout from her mouth and eyes show her balanced gaze is richly serious. She seems beyond capable of the tasks before her in the still waters of that cauldron; she can look beyond what is known, and into the unknown. This is her divine job, as a service to create through transmutation, to become the alchemist.

“Appearing at a time of rich nurturing and protection, of learning and initiation, when loving and fertile relationships, both human and universal, abound, the Green Woman mediates the sacred sovereignty of the Earth’s soul and can show the path to understanding and communion with nature. But with this blessing comes responsibility. Remember that this glorious, magnanimous and generous spirit can live through you, radiated by the sacred breath of life and given to others who need guidance and healing. Learn from this abundant and joyous spirit of the Earth and be at one with the world and your true self.”

That divine work is the service of allowing the Spirit of the true Self to move through you: to become the formless one and transfer that energy into your physical, earthly form.

This deck has become my new primary deck, and it’s been lovely working with these cards. This card was so striking for me as I was attending a Joe Dispenza retreat in my local area during this Lunar Eclipse and outdoors walking with my Joe Dispenza “tribe.” During the partial lunar eclipse there was a thick layer of fog as we performed the walking meditation of , “The Mystic’s Walk.” The whole experience of the eclipse was woven into this mystical walk and deep integration of the mystical self.

I believe that each one of you knows your own soul’s work; it may take on many forms beyond your day job. You might have experienced and be experiencing the change in your daily rituals, and even the calling for something more from your soul. Listen to this, with each passing day, remember that you are first Spirit, and second comes your body, and your physical form. You are the essence of all of life.

With this full moon and lunar eclipse, may you express your deepened experience as the mystic, serving from a greater capacity on this earth. If you have wept and released, then you living well on your mission to purity and clarify the way Spirit wants to move through you: to become a clearer channel.

If you can trust and let go, you are one step closer to your pure nature (all of us). If you can’t, then you are in the process of alchemizing and transmuting your particular energies of experience, translating for all of humanity with each step of the way. Be gentle with yourself as you slowly integrate the messages and lessons that are happening within you, mirrored by great cosmic clock in the movements of the celestial bodies, for you are beyond time and object. You are pure presence…

This configuration goes by many names due to its historic use and geometric shape: Solomon’s Seal, star tetrahedron, diamond tetrahedron, and more generically described as a ‘hexagram’ or six-sided figure. It is also called a ‘Grand Sextile’ in astrology. Some have even referred to this special configuration as the “MerKaBa,” or gate. Any of these key terms you can google and find oodles of information from all different sources. Take your pick.

Now regarding the SOD configuration’s astrological meaning, I’ve been aware of different astrologers’ opinions regarding this configuration. Many are ‘playing it up’ in importance (because it is so unique that it must signify something) but without a lot written on what the configuration portends other than the historically surmised “birth of a king,” you are unlikely to find a standard astrology-by-book interpretation.

Perhaps even more intriguing, is that many astrologers are glossing over SOD, merely mentioning it with no real emphasis. For instance, the astrologer Susan Miller feels that there’s a missing moon phase to kick this massive energetic aspect into gear. You can see her website at astrologyzone.com. I partly agree with her. Though this configuration may come and go with some silence on the subject, it is certainly not due to lack of its power.

What will it mean? I cannot honestly say what it will mean, on a personal level, nor for identities such as countries, nor for what it means to the global community. But, I will say that I feel it to be a “dawning.” SOD in the sky is like a stamp of unknown official meaning. Do what you will with it. In fact, it is like a gateway of truly palpable and powerful energy that orders itself like a lock and key (perfect fit), and just commands the beginning of a new era. What is commanded?

SOD symbolism is ancient – that’s for sure – and it’s potentially even more ancient than its use by the Hebrews whose 22- character alphabet is said to be actually hidden within the star ( Magen David or Shield of David. The Star has been used in the sacred geometry of matter, with its meaning in alchemy as the joining of Fire (upward facing triangle) and Water (downward facing triangle). In the Indian tradition, SOD represents the Sat-Kona, or Lord Krishna’s abode, referred to as the Star of Goloka. Tantra has even claimed some meaning of the SOD as a sacred yantra representing the merging of Shiva and Shakti, the divine masculine and feminine principles in the universe. Wow. That’s some meeting!

Perhaps this Star of David configuration best reminds us that the universe is so complex and permutable, and our experience of it is more than just the fluctuation of dualities (good and bad aspects), but a meaningfully woven experience with a central purpose and sacred harmony. ‘Be Still and Know that I AM God.’ Our experiences on earth are processes by which we refine our soul and polish our mirror. This seal is about the light of the soul, its ability to stay on the path, guided by inner stillness and openness to All that Is. The triangle of water is represented with Saturn in Scorpio, Mars and Jupiter in Cancer, and Neptune in Pisces. The triangle of earth is represented by Venus in Virgo, Moon in Taurus, and Pluto in Capricorn.
