Virgo
Radiant Life Meditation
The Virgo cycle offers an opportunity for each person in the Holy Grail ~ the Sacred Chalice, planet Earth’s Light Grid ~ to further participate in the distribution of the Life which in turn iimplements the Divine Plan on Earth. The constellation Virgo itself holds the hidden Holy Grail in the night sky, and as the Sun traverses the sign Virgo, we are able to tap into this energy towards advancing our service.
Virgo ~ the Virgin ~ symbolizes the form nature. Soul and body are blended in Virgo, and we're told they are of great importance to each other: "matter guards, cherishes and nurtures the hidden soul." (1) The following additional notes from Bailey's discussion of Virgo in Estoteric Astrology are helpful to consider.
• Virgo also represents the Hidden Light of God.
• Virgo is the guardian of the light of wisdom.
• Virgo is, therefore, the opposite pole of spirit and stands for the relation of these two after they have been brought together .... "
• Virgo is ... the cosmic mother because she represents cosmically the negative pole to positive spirit; she is the receptive agent where the Father aspect is concerned.
• ... Virgo "involves the service of the immediately present" or in other words ... God immanent evokes reaction from the form side and is thereby served. (2)
The Hierarchy, Deity, and the Great Lodge of Sirius are calling on each of us to act wisely, as revealed through the Leo~Sirius Full Moon Festival. It is here in Virgo that the intentional uniting of sprit and matter occurs. In creating the form, Divinity planted the seed in Virgo. Through our working with the form, the end result is the Sacred Form ~ ultimately, the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
Each year, and especially during these outwardly tumultuous times, it may also be useful to contemplate these points and then turn our attention to the Night Sky. As the Virgo lunar cycle begins, the Moon, Sun and Mercury approach the head of Leo the Lion, while the pairing of Venus and Saturn in the constellation Leo potently activates Regulus, the heart of the Lion. The New Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Regulus and Leo the Lion are establishing a strong Sirian conduit for the emergence of a divine new world.
2007 Virgo Meditation The
Virgo Full Moon ~ Virgo ~ The blended dual Light. Two
lights are seen ~ bright and strong, the light of form; Guidance in preparing for this meditation
We mentally link up with people of goodwill everywhere, as part of the united group channel through which the spiritual forces can become available. Affirming this channel, "We stand poised united as One Soul with our Spiritual Hierarchy." We hold the focus. We now visualize and become the Chalice we have created together as a grid of light all over the earth that connects the light of every lightworker and each sacred energy vortex. This network serves as a conduit through which the heavenly blessings may flow through every one of us and to the planet Earth. When we have achieved this ...
Following the meditation, we are joined by Lightworkers on high to intone The Great Invocation, and together we say ... The Great Invocation From
the point of light within the Mind of God From
the point of love within the Heart of God From
the center where the Will of God is known From
the center which we call Humanity Let
Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. - adapted version (4) We now continue to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious phase of the full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain inner peace, always a time of spiritual retreat and contact. |
Readings
We offer these related materials to be of assistance in your Virgo meditation focus ...
The Lighted Way The entire zodiac can be approached and understood from the angle of light ~ the inner light, soul light ~ and its unfolding, increasing radiance is the manifestation of our divine nature. (5) Study of the 12 different lights for each of the constellations of the zodiac reveals the symbolic story of the growth of the light body within the Soul of Humanity (the Macrocosm) and within each of us (the Microcosm), and will finally make clear the very purpose of God.
Virgo Zodiacal Deity Virgo, the cosmic mother, imparted to humanity her sacred gift of love ~ the birth of the Christ consciousness in the human heart.
Virgo Labor of Hercules The sixth great test of Hercules in Virgo was to obtain the girdle of Hippolyte, representing unity achieved through struggle and conflict. Hercules failed but then redeemed himself, as is the case with every human being in the attempt to become spiritual.
The Holy Grail This chalice "is the receiver and container of the life of God." (6) It is the highest meaning of the constellation Virgo.
Night Sky ~ Moon Dances During each lunar cycle the Moon, waxing and waning, journeys through the zodiac. It partners with and enlivens the sparkling stars and glowing planets along the way. As the Moon grows in the light provided by our Sun, we too grow in the light of our Soul.
A new lunar cycle begins August 12 and a strong Sirian conduit is established for the emergence of a divine new world. The time is ripe for visionaries and trail blazers to walk through the Lion's Gate and create the new Earth! Lunar theme: Divine Emergence
The Twenty-First World Congress on Illumination takes place August 11–16. August 15–18 the waxing Crescent Moon arouses the Virgin and awakens our immortality, while a celestial elixir is brewing. When the Virgin gives birth into the awaiting karmic and dharmic claws, it is serendipity that changes the crystallized past into the unbounded future.
August 20-22 the Giant and the Dwarf coninue to heat up the burning ground, as Luna grows in Light and stokes its fires! The serpent and phoenix are destined to rise. A supercharged Full Moon total lunar eclipse August 28 urges humanity to expand beyond its material viewpoint and align with the soul, shine its light, change the established order and bring in a new humanitarian divine age.
Look Up! The night of September 2/3 the waning Gibbous Moon and the 7 Sisters give rise to Buddhi. September 4 - September 6 mornng Mars and aging Luna dance within the Sacred Hoop, while the shape shifting Red Triad acts as a generator for the creation of a new world! September 7 Luna leaves the Hoop with a message of surrender and celebration. September 8 is International Angel Day and a turning point for Pluto and Venus. September 9 Luna, Venus, Saturn and Regulus usher in a brand new day!
Preparation for Participation in This Meditation Focus
Consider ...
What is the appropriate way to join in this meditation ... you may wish to participate in group formation on the physical plane as well as on the inner planes. Whether or not you choose to be "alone" on the physical plane, know you are uniting with many others who also are attuning to the energies available at this Global Festival, and that this group focus creates a powerful channel for the meditation to be potent and effective.
If you are unable to meditate at the exact time of the full moon, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to be part of this group meditation.
Prior to your meditation take the needed time to create a sacred space and spiritually align your energies.
We Recognize, the Full Moon Festivals Culminate over a Five-Day Period ...
Our meditation focus beginning at the new moon leads into the two "days of preparation" immediately preceding the full moon. These are to be dedicated to spiritual reflection and detachment from everyday concerns, as each prepares to become a vessel for the energies of light and love they will receive and channel. At this time we hold the attitude of dedication and service, and seek to assume that attitude of receptivity to that which our soul will impart which will make us of spiritual use.
The day of the full moon itself is the "day of safeguarding," one of inner peace and silence during which we attempt to contact and consciously hold the energies for the rest of humanity. We will not formulate for ourselves what will happen, nor will we look for results or tangible effects. While one may not observe the exact moment when the moon is full, it's important to find some quiet time to reflect alone or use this opportunity to meditate with others of like mind and focus.
The two succeeding days are called the "days of distribution." We now turn the attention outwards, away from ourselves, and our efforts are to pass on the spiritual energies that have been contacted. We assist these spiritual energies, transformed into goodwill, in flowing to where there is greatest need.
If you wish, feel free to continue use of this meditation for the entire month of Virgo.
We now continue to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious day of the full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain inner peace, a time of spiritual retreat and contact.
