Hello Heavenly Travelers,
November 11, 9:47am PST marked the beginning of a new lunar cycle, which peaks with the November 25 Full Moon and ends December 11, 2:29am PST. The folks at SouledOut.org invite you to participate in the Sagittarius Festival Global Meditation.

This lunar cycle provides opportunities for medicinal solar bathing, observing daylight Venus play hide 'n seek with Luna, stellar navigating and meteor viewing. As the cycle unfolds Jupiter, Mars and Venus our predawn planets, form a striking diagonal line-up with Regulus, the brightest star of Leo the Lion, with Spica, the brightest star of Virgo the Virgin and with the waning crescent Moon. Look Up!

Lunar Theme: In the Clutches of the Scorpion "This November 11, 2015 New Moon occurs upon the Scales of Libra, which historically are the Chelae of the Scorpion [Image], specifically conjoining Zubeneschamali, an Arabic star name, which means the northern claw. . . . Also conjoining are the stars forming the neck and head of the Serpent, which is held by Ophiuchus, reaching for the Northern Crown. This New Moon and lunar cycle theme is about claiming our self-mastery by choosing to do things differently so we can claim greater freedom from our past patterns of entrapment."

In the future, humanity will become the diamond-souled kingdom ~
working as one to fuse spiritual and mundane fire and raise planetary
kundalini. As this occurs, the whole of planetary life will shift onto etheric
levels and a state unimaginable to us at present. The pure, cold fire of love
that shines from Venus whose evolution is someway ahead of ours, indicates
the way, as does the sulphurous, fiery atmosphere that envelops its physical
body indicate that the liberation of spirit from matter has taken place.

Hello Star Gazers,
As Gemini's Goodwill lunar cycle (May 6-June 4) comes to a close, I offer a few notes for your listening pleasure, notes that the heavenly Twins sound forth into our human realm.

The will-to-good of the world knowers
is the magnetic seed of the future.
The will-to-good is the Father aspect,
whilst goodwill is the Mother aspect,
and from the relation of these two the
new civilisation, based on sound spiritual
(but utterly different) lines, can be founded.

Mercury's rare transit of the Sun May 9 was fun to watch online. I felt blessed to see a solar prominence emerge behind Mercury, as well as see sunspots across the Sun!

Lunar Theme: New Beginnings "This May 6, 2016 New Moon resides amongst the stars of the Ram ... at the ecliptical location of the Sun's exaltation [Map], making this an empowering lunar cycle ... to step forth into a more appropriate position in life, to gain greater freedom in life, or to create some type of transformation in our lives to do so. It is of new beginnings ... to take action ... surrendering any righteous attitudes we may hold about deserving more or becoming more than we are, which creates an inner tension that keeps us from the very thing we seek ... this location ... is of a regenerative nature ... can also be volatile ... requires a need to channel this energy ..."

This New Moon also aspects the Jupiter-Saturn square ... Thus this lunar cycle engages and emphasizes the energetics of both squares, initiating action to create revolutionary change ... and to relinquish antiquated structures ... Stars conjoining ... include Revati of Pisces ... This Uranus-Revati-lunar cycle, involving ... Uranus, Haumea [*] and Eris [*], brings attention to financial resources and financial affairs, both personally and globally, the control of money and to how it is used ...

Hello Sky Gazers,
March 8, 5:54pm PST marked the Moon's new phase and its Supermoon total solar eclipse March 8-9 seen mainly in a long narrow path over the waters of the Pacific Ocean. The New Moon's solar eclipse sets in motion the 2016 Easter lunar cycle that ends April 7, 4:24am PST.

The lunar month continues with the March 19/20 Equinox Global Meditations, and peaks with a second eclipse, the Full Moon's Penumbral lunar eclipse on March 23, a subtle almost invisible partial eclipse. This Full Moon of the Easter lunar cycle is the first of the 3 major planetary Full Moon Festivals that occur in spring for the Northern Hemisphere and in autumn for the Southern Hemisphere. These Festivals form a spiritual high point of the year. Celebration of Light gives a brief introduction to these 3 Festivals and provides insight to the first, The Festival of the Risen One ~ Easter. As this Festival season unfolds more information will be shared about these 3 Full Moons.

The current Easter lunar cycle not only inaugurates the spiritual high season of the year, it also showers humanity with stimulating celestial energies.

Lunar Theme: Altruistic ~ Total Solar Eclipse "Our New Moon Solar Eclipse occurs amongst the flowing waters dispensed from the Urn of Aquarius ... over the Phoenix, a sign of renewal, of rising from the ashes ... The New Moon occurs in the midst of a stellium of planets ... with the exact Jupiter-Saturn square occurring on the [Full Moon] Lunar Eclipse, and as Saturn makes its retrograde station ... Critical times [geophysical and physiological] include the March 9 solar eclipse ... into and just after the First Quarter Moon of March 14-15 and the Full Moon eclipse through the Jupiter-Saturn square and Saturn station, March 22-25. Pay Attention!." Click the lunar theme link for more insights by Nick Fiorenza.

Greetings Everyone,
February 8, 6:39am PST marked the beginning of a new lunar cycle that peaks with the February 22 Full Moon, and ends March 8, 5:54pm PST. The folks at SouledOut.org invite you to participate in the Pisces Festival Global Meditation ~ Audio.

The February 8 New Moon inaugurated the Chinese Fire/Red Monkey New Year also known more poetically as the Year of the Mountain Monkey. "Monkey years ... [are] rich in the unexpected. A year of transformations ... great change ... of discovering your own resources." It's also a "time to address more serious concerns. Play is good, but only in its proper context. Final acclaim comes only after renewed effort."

Lunar Theme: Fortuity & Serendipity "The New Moon lies under the auspices of Delphinus, the Dolphin star system, and over Gruis the Crane ... Delphinus' influence invites us to breathe and trust in higher principle, and to allow ourselves to be guided by higher forces into opportunities or directions that would not occur by our efforts alone ... Gruis the Crane [is] of resolute verdicts, decisive decisions based upon bodies of knowledge, and harbinger of fortuitous tidings, especially regarding legalities, business dealings, constitutional matters, and news associated with new life and new beginnings."

Lunar Theme: With the Vision of the Eagle & the Voice of the Angels We begin our New Year "Our New Moon lies under the auspices of majestic Aquila the Eagle and inspirational Lyra, harp of the angels. Acceleration, imagination, originality and artistic inspiration, vision and insight amalgamate to create the hallmark of this lunar cycle ... begins an acceleration of global events and geo and sociopolitical transformation occurring throughout 2016 ... revelatory disclosures that may not only begin the obsolescence of our existing technological paradigm, but also humanity's very consensus of reality."
