What is happening NOW

I feel that thing in our world are changing and changing FAST!
I have been studying astrology and have found some pretty cool things that I suppose would be categorized as Esoteric Astrology. In a piece a few years ago in Shamanic Astrology Newsletter titled: Celestial Timings By Cayelin K Castell, she brought up the subject of the Gold and Silver Gates. I found that these energies kept coming up over and over in different places. So I thought I would try to get this together and write about it.

So I am - or at least going to try to take you on a journey a shortened abbreviated journey of the one I have been on for over a year now and share what all this means - "The Gold and Silver Gates".

I found that these to Gates or energies kept coming up and I have been trying to grasp the concept of what she was trying to present with the energies and how they work with the astrology.

And as any of you know when I begin a project like this it will take me on a large circle (zodiac wheel) to get to the goodie or the core information that is being presented to you.

So there has been a lot on TV etc about 2012 and what it symbolizes - the ending of a great cycle of time we astrologers look and term this energy "the procession of the equinoxes". I feel that we need no fear connected with this change in the Mayan Calendar.

So I am - or at least going to try to take you on a journey a shortened abbreviated journey of the one I have been on for over a year now and share what all this means - "The Gold and Silver Gates"

FROM CELESTIAL TIMINGS (Jan 2007)

QUOTE: "Northern Extreme currently located at the Galactic Edge. Many ancient cultures saw this place in the sky, along the Milky Way, as the Silver Gate where souls enter this dimensional realm. (The Golden Gate is near Galactic Center - see quote below). The nearly Full Moon is visible just beyond the fixed star Aldebaran, the eye of the Bull and one of the four royal stars also linked with Archangel Michael. Aldebaran is a stargate portal and when the Moon (especially the nearly Full Moon) is here it is sending a key transmission from this area of the sky if we are open to receive it.

Here is more on the Silver and Golden Gate... The Golden Gate is at the point where the ecliptic crosses the Milky Way, just near Galactic Centre (GC); the part of the sky which was of great interest to the Mayan people. At the other end of the Milky Way, the Silver Gate is above Orion, at the center of the Duat; the Egyptian Netherworld which was represented on the ground in the Giza area.

The ancient Greeks, who received much of their knowledge from Egypt, believed that souls reside in the Milky Way between incarnations, and that there are 2 “gates” on the Milky Way. These are the Silver Gate of Gemini, through which souls descend to earth, and the Golden Gate of Sagittarius, through which souls ascend. Other versions say the souls of men (humans) can ascend by either gate, but that the Silver Gate leads to reincarnation and the ancestors, and the Golden Gate leads beyond reincarnation. The Golden Gate is also that through which the Gods descend.

The Silver Gate is just above the “hand” of Orion, who the Egyptians associated with Osiris, and they depicted him holding a star in his hand. In the Orion Mystery, Bauval & Gilbert presumed this to be the star Aldebaran. Now, Gilbert has found that the Egyptian word for star, s’ba, also means “door”, so Osiris is holding a Star-Gate. In some depictions, Osiris is holding an ankh towards the gate, so this must be the key which unlocks the star-gate.

Fixed star Antares, heart of the Scorpion tonight (not visible in the sky until the early morning hours before dawn) activating the Antares stargate near Galactic Center and the Golden Gate of “Sagittarius” where the souls of humanity ascend away from this realm and where the souls of the Gods descend into this realm of experience. Aldebaran is the stargate portal near the Silver Gate and Antares is the Star Gate portal near the Golden Gate.

(This is referring to the constellation named Sagittarius and not the seasonal sign that also carries the same name.)

The Earth is aligned now in such a way to receive the galactic radiations being beamed from Galactic Center and the Galactic Edge quickening our evolution, purifying and restructuring our world, changing the thresholds of vibration and experience, according to new programs of Light and Love available to us now. We get a sense of the importance of taking action that supports our personal evolutionary process because this collective reprogram is happening with or without us. UNQUOTE.


As I continued there was information from Barbra Hand Clow in Catrophobia; John Major Jenkins' essential book, Maya Cosmogenesis 2012; Sirius Mystery; Astrology of 2012 and Beyond by Cal Garrison; studied Jung archetypes and much more.


In August 2012, says Gilbert, Venus (symbolizing Isis & Mary as “Bride of Heaven”), will be “stationary in the hand of Orion”. Orion, as he has explained convincingly in the book, symbolizes Christ, and this is his mystic marriage (and there is a hint that we should be prepared with our “wedding garment”, which, to the Egyptians was a “stellar, Sahu body” that needed to be “crystallized”). This could also be the return of Quetzalcoatl, since he was connected with Venus, and thereby the sign preceding a “second coming”.

At any rate, Gilbert’s interpretation of Biblical prophecy, using the fig tree parable, and the return of the Jews to Israel in 1948, indicates that all prophecies would be accomplished by 2018. This also happens to be, according to John Major Jenkins, the last year that the winte solstice sun conjuncts Galactic Centre, in the other star-gate. Gilbert calls the Silver Gate the Gate of Hades, so there may be 12 years of hell coming up, before the opening of….Heaven’s Gate!

My Experience With My Power Animals: HAWKS

I have been conducing Spiritual and psychic development classes now for well over twenty years and have never had the experience that I had just one week ago. It was a beautiful spring morning and I was about doing my morning chores. I walked out to the out building and as I entered the front door there were two green chamaeleons (big ones!) One with a jagged white looking stripe down its back had the head of the other chamaeleon in his mouth. With my movement they scattered going in different directions. The smaller one was climbing up the wall on an exposed beam and I was talking to it (her). I told her it looked like she had some damage on her head because certain parts were not turning green but remaining a dark brown. With that being said I heard a cry from outside, the cry of my friendly messenger the Hawk. I stopped and went outside. As I looked up I saw them flying around and around in a large circle. I started counting ‘eight’ of them! NO! There are more so I counted again ‘ten’! As I looked harder and higher I said now there are more there were at least ‘twenty’ Hawks. They were yellow breasted some of them others were a gray/tan color on breast (more than likely the Gray Hawk common here in NE Florida)

As I continued to watch them I was so excited I could hardly stand myself!! These Hawks were flying it seemed in pairs. Flying at each other in a matting type dance, while at the same time, flying in a circle. Upon gazing at this ritual I noticed they were flying in a spiral pattern upwards, maintaining the perfect large circle formation. The yellow breasts sparkling in the beautiful clear sun light. I watched and watched as they flew and screeched in gleeful song. I knew that the Hawk for me is a Power Animal and I was basking in all the energy they were sharing with me. I was not sure, and am still not sure what the total message is for me; but one thing for sure I was not going to let any of this energy slide past me.

The spiral pattern that the Hawks seemed to be flying was large, very large it seemed to be at least 500 feet across and more than likely a mile high. They ranged from 20 feet above my head on up to the top of this spiral pattern. As I continued to stand there I just knew there was a purpose behind all this fancy flying and all that kept coming to mind was a matting ritual!

I looked up the Hawk in the book I use in the spiritual/psychic development classes Animal Speaks by Ted Andrews and he does say “Keynote: Visionary Power & Guardianship; also Cycle of Power: Spring and Fall Equinox”. This took place on Monday March 16, 2009 at approx. 11:50 am and the Spring Equinox was on March 20 (the following Friday at 7:44 am). I could already see the light bulbs going off in my head as I counted all the synchronicity’s already appearing and I haven’t even started reading the text yet! As I began to read Mr. Andrews says “ They are the messengers, the protectors, and the visionaries of the air. Hawks and Owls have the keenest of eyes.” I am always hearing the Owls here at night! He states the female is the larger of the two and the male has all the color and I can attest to that statement.

All the beautiful yellow breasts were not as large as the females who were just as aggressive as the males during this ritual. He also states to examine the color of the birds; yellow is to me representative of the energies of the Creator, mental faculties, and all things ‘Spring’ and this again relates to the very time of year I was experiencing this spectacular event. According to the book Dancing the Wheel by Sun Bear “Yellow is a cheerful color, one that stimulates good nature and native intelligence. It is a color that reminds you of sunshine (very sunny clear day - no clouds anywhere), happiness (I was VERY EXCITED!), and energy (standing under these majestic beings flying in this spiral pattern - the whole area was filled with energy). Having yellow in your surroundings can help you have a greater intellectual acuity, more receptivity to inspiration (I WAS DEFINITELY INSPIRED!) A feeling of overall well-being and happiness with other people.”

Sun Bear also states it is the color for the South along with green very appropriate again for Spring time. Flying against a clear blue sky representing the direction of the West. Blue of course, is the color for spiritual ideals, idealism, service for the greater good or unselfishness. Blue also represents calm, peacefulness, depth of the sky that day radiated a calming, peaceful energy and I found my self basking in it as much as humanly possible. It seemed to lift me right up into the sky itself - uplifting so that my spirit could soar with these lofty beings. Sun Bear also shares blue is good for “you being content with your surroundings (important in today’s world!), emotionally content, harmonious and happy with life as it unfolds for you”. How true it is with all that I have been going through, and not just me everyone I know is in a state of change. Contentment seems to be an illusion in the world today.



I investigated the color further with Sun Bear and “the golden yellow is associated with strength, the path of the West (according to Eastern tradition) Teaches the responsibility of power.” Also; “encourages devotion and discipline needed to fairly, compassionately, and appropriately exercise power and leadership with people, places, and things. Working with this color can assist you in knowing how to make just decisions for the highest good of all involved. It also helps you learn to teach others how to take their own power. Golden yellow not only gives you personal strength but also teaches you how to encourage others to build the same strength within themselves. This color is good for endurance, courage, stamina, strength, faith and discipline. Golden yellow is healing for the energy field and mind.” Wow!! I could not believe what I was reading and how it all fit with my Shamanistic experience, as well as, the energies happening in my life past, present and possible future.

I continued along with my study and Sun Bear about the Hawk and found it to be one of the Spirit Keeper Animals. He says that “their voice sounds like steam escaping a steam kettle” I found it piercing because there were so many of them. Also, creating an energy field all it’s own, just as the crystal bowl vibrations create the field of vibration from friction of the mallet. Now I found my nugget of gold within his writing:”The are magnificent flyers especially during their mating dances”!! I could hardly believe my eyes there it was in print, exactly as I had experienced it.


I know that the Hawk can see clearly, to think that they were busy with their dance, they still had an observer - ME! I know they could see and feel my presence during this entire time. The whole dance lasted for about 20 minutes but seemed to be an eternity in my eyes. Sun Bear also shares that embracing these totems can bring you “adaptability, flying, survival, far - & clear sightedness, prayer, leadership, deliberation, and foresight.” Exactly the pattern my new life was taking on, amazing just amazing how all the energy was coming together. What is so fantastic embracing this experience has not stopped and I do not believe it will stop because I still embrace the energies of the animals that cross my path on a daily basis.

You see I have not talked about the spiral upwards....

Comet Lulin

Pictures from spaceweather.com

Comets were once thought to be evil or bring bad 'news' or a bad omen, today we know differently. We understand that they bring or herald an end of an era and the beginning of a new one, along with history altering events and personalities.

Example: Halley's Comet, which marked the birth and death of Mark Twain, America's great literary giant and satirist. Comets also marked the births of Theodore Roosevelt and a generation later, his cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt.

This Comet is particularly Uranian because its orbit is in the opposite direction from other planetary bodies. It does not appear to have a regular visitation pattern, and coming during this intense Aquarian time perhaps it brings a message of surprises that come out of nowhere to completely change our world.

Comet Lulin is making its visitation on the day of the New Moon, when six planets are in Aquarius and the New Moon is in Pisces. Pisces is the sign of transcendence, where ordinary reality becomes blurred and we become open to higher powers, divine beings, and creative inspiration. Combined with the sudden electrical surprises of Uranus and Aquarius, the transcendence of Pisces creates an openness to the spiritual realms that can be quite intense.

The comet will be traveling through Virgo when it is visible, and it will be very close to Saturn so it will set off the opposition of Saturn and Uranus. The New Moon also forms a sextile to Pluto, so there is a transformational element at work here. The symbology of the Comet, a temporary visitor to the Universe in the midst of this planetary festival, suggests to me a dramatic turn of events that gets our attention!

"Perhaps this comet augurs a new collaborative era, where people and groups working together can discover important things they never could have discovered apart. Or even in its apparent backward movement along with stunning beauty, maybe it indicates that we could back into something and when we find others who also have backed into the same thing, we will find complementary understandings.

In the discovery process, one entity got the images, the other got the data, which led to the discovery. This may offer hints as to the influence of this galactic wanderer. In any case, it's interesting to note that the recent Solar Eclipse spoke of the emergence of "new mutations" from Cosmos, and now we welcome a first-time visitor to our Solar System. Some food for thought at the intersection of Fate Street and Free Will Street at a corner of Eternity Boulevard." Robert Wilkinson

Cancer Super Full Moon

I took these pictures...
1) Taken at 7:00 pm

















2) Taken at 8:00 pm through clouds

Cancer Full Moon
Super Moon because it is closest to the Earth.

Cancer centers on nurturing relationships. Trust your intuition.

21 Cancer @ 10:27 pm Time to burn your manifestation list!
“1st as Mountain Astrologer terms ‘Super Moon’ where the gravitational forces are intensified by the Moon at perigee & in alignment with the Earth. Wind, weather, tides & tectonic plates are more strongly affected; as well as psychic undertows & emotional turbulence increase as well.”

Good Moon for growing things plants, stocks, commodities, etc. This is considered the most fertile of the Moon signs, associated with Mothering. Use this time to build personal friendships that support mutual growth. People maybe moody. Caution not to over eat. Begins a volatile time of miscommunications.

PLANET WAVES:

"The Moon is currently in late Gemini (opposite the Galactic Core at this edit early Friday morning), and it reaches Cancer, squaring the Aries Point, at 1:13 pm EST this afternoon. The Moon is currently moving at its fastest pace of more than 15 degrees a day, because it is so close to the Earth (hence, it’s very large appearance in the sky).

The signature of this Full Moon seems to intensify feelings over what we feel and what is practical: Cancer versus Capricorn. The Full Moon always activates the polarity of two signs, presenting us with an opportunity to resolve or work with an inner polarity.


http://planetwaves.net/pagetwo/2009/01/09/a-closer-look-at-the-full-moon/



















Full Moon moves into Cancer reaching almost 27 degrees in declination or just over three degrees beyond the 23.5 degrees maximum declination of the Sun. When the Moon moves beyond the boundaries of the Sun at the Galactic edge it is reaching beyond the boundaries of ordinary reality and is transmitting the mysteries coming in from beyond the boundaries of our Galaxy while also illuminating the Galactic Cross where the Summer Solstice Sun now rises.

The Cancer mysteries are interested in creating a safe nurturing space for family, friends, clan and/or tribe. This is possible when we have first developed the ability to nurture ourselves with loving kindness, then we can extend healthy expressions of love and kindness towards others. Visually the Moon phases last for three days, so we see the Moon rising tonight, tomorrow and the following night. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds we may have coming to maturity or fruition, or the place where the fruits or gifts are received. The Moon then begins to wane this week representing the dissemination or integration of these gifts. Once each year the Moon is Full in Cancer bringing to light responsible nurturing of ourselves, our children, our children’s children and our beloved planet.

The Cancer Full Moon (21 Cancer) is illuminating the mysteries of responsible nurturing while also releasing addictions to controlling outcome and the need to have others be a certain way according to our expectations. It can also help to remember that one of the best ways to support others and their needs is to give them the space to discover how to take care of their needs on their own. When we responsibly fulfill our own needs and desires then we can more easily and genuinely support others in doing the same.


This Moon will be traveling tonight through Taurus and across the eye which is a big orange star Aldebaran. This star marks the eye of the Bull near the Galactic Edge and was known as the key to the Silver Gate where souls enter this realm. Currently, the alignment of the Solstices with the Milky Way, or Photon Band is activating and unlocking our DNA codes and intensifying our personal transformative processes creating new pathways and possibilities. The Moon passes by here once each month illuminating these mysteries.

The Earth is aligned now in such a way to receive the galactic radiations being beamed from Galactic Center and the Galactic Edge quickening our evolution, purifying and restructuring our world, changing the thresholds of vibration and experience, according to new programs of Light and Love available to us now. With the Moon transmitting from the Silver Gate near the Galactic Edge as it reaches its Northern Lunar Extreme, we get a sense of the importance of the light codes coming in from this star gate that are waking up our own light codes in ever greater waves of possibility.

Moon moves into Taurus transmitting the mysteries of receivership, beauty and intimacy. When we can truly receive the beauty of our personal self the journey of personal intimacy is well underway. The original Latin root of intimacy is intimare meaning "to make familiar with." Becoming familiar with ourselves, knowing and respecting who we are assists us in truly experiencing deep intimacy (or closeness) with another who is also willing to share who they truly are. The true art of intimacy extends to every level of being including physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When we are connected on all these levels within ourselves then our sharing comes from deep personal intimacy. These next couple of days are great for deepening your own personal intimate connection with yourself and those you love?

Also while traveling across The Bull it will also travel across the Pleiades activating 'the Mothers' DNA.


Pleiades, Seven Sisters








Knowing this energy is opening to us we can access it and embrace the changes available to each of us.

Indigo Children

I came across this article and thought it would be very appropriate for those whith Indigo children.

Indigo Children: Boriska, indigo boy from Mars, predicts mammoth catastrophes in 2009
The boy says he was a Martian being seven meters in height in his past life

The unusual baby boy was born in the town of Volzhsky, the Volgograd region of Russia. His mother, Nadezhda Kipriyanovich, gave birth to her son one fine morning. "It all happened so fast, I did not even feel any pain. When they showed the baby to me, the boy was looking at me with a grown-up look. As a pediatrician I know that newborns cannot concentrate looks on anything. However, my little baby was staring at me with his big brown eyes. Brushing that fact aside, he was a usual little baby, like all other kids," the boys mother said.


The boy is quite optimistic about Russia's future, though: "The situation in the country will be improving gradually. However, planet Earth will have to experience two very dangerous years - 2009 and 2013. Those catastrophes will be connected with water," Boriska said.
