we are between Eclipses, this is a powerful Time of where the Forces and Sacred portals are activated.

In this essay I am writing on a subject that always fascinated me, in fact for me, this is the Core of it all. Meaning, the Core of all Spirituality/Communication between the Above & the Below.

Here I am attempting to describe the Forces of the Guardians of the Four Directions and how this Knowledge came to us.

Share Sylvia’s Substack

The Four Fixed Stars & the Four Archangels.

The Royal Stars of Persia are described as the ones who Guarded the Four Corners of the Universe and marked the Seasons.

• Direction East: Fixed Star Aldebaran- the Eye of the Bull- the brighter Star in the Constellation of Taurus, the one that follows the Pleiades. Aldebaran is of Mars & Mercury Nature. Archangel Guardian of the East- Michael. Element of Air & Fire.

• Direction South: Fixed Star Fomal-haut (the mouth of the Southern Fish) Nature of Venus & Mercury-This Star is known as the “Loneliest Star” and shines a bright white light, Is associated with White Lillies (Lirio Branco) Divine Communication and the inspiration of Artists. Archangel Guardian of the South Gate- Archangel Gabriel. Element of Water & Air.

• Direction West: Fixed Star Antares

  Parenthesis: { this is my favorite Star-as a child I remember my father using the word/name Antares (the Heart of the Scorpion) or Antara to describe volatile Winds-something that not many know, in Greek culture the name of the Fixed Star, “Anti-Ares” meaning the One who opposes Mars-came to name very strong Winds. For the sailors and fisher men named “Antara” to be a volatile wind}. Fixed Star Antares mirrors Planet Mars and it is -Element Fire. Archangel Guardian of the West Gate- Archangel Uriel-name meaning- The Fire of God, symbolizing Divine Illumination & Truth.

• Direction North: Fixed Star Regulus- The Heart of the King (Lion-Xango). Energy of Mars & Jupiter (Life Force transformed to leadership & action. Archangel Guardian of the North-Archangel Raphael of Healing. Element of Fire & Earth. North is also related to ancestral Wisdom, rocks, bones & the Egungun- the Collective Spirit of the Departed as recognized by the Yoruba Cosmology.

The Collective & Universal Chart-The Forces at Work.

So the Forces mentioned above exist and are represented on all of our charts. They are present at the moment of our birth, the moment we sign upon a contract or when Nations & Governments are inaugurated. And either humans are aware of it or not these Forces are working to help and Guide us on the Path of our Evolution.

Notes & Considerations on the Sources of Information.

As we move deeply in the AI succession age the Sources of Knowledge are fading. In the ancient times-mostly the scholars remember this-the Library of Alexandria was burned to ruins and with it a large amount of essential, occult and Sacred knowledge was lost.

Who did that?

There is not exact historical evidence but a combination of forces or situations are accounted for, yet it is an “insight information” that unfortunately the mad emperor Julius Caesar “accidentally” caused a fire which damaged this temple/Source of Knowledge. And just to be historically accurate here. Julius Caesar was described as mad and unreasonably audacious emperor among other things.

But, the point here is the following:

This is happening again today!

It has been reported that AI companies are buying old texts and after collecting/harvesting/”altering” the information that see fit, then burn the books! Because allegedly- “no one is going to read them and they take too much space”.

…Yes, today ancient books are being burned and replaced by Data Centers which data centers pollute the environment particularly the Waters.

So humanity is putting all “its chips” on AI, and “all its eggs in one basket”…which is detrimental and sad.

Because the ancient knowledge is the language of Connection with the Cosmos and AI has no “understanding” of this…or even worse AI will end up inputing its own opinion, it is happening.

And my two cents here,

the Mothers of the Waters are not going to take this for long…the ecosystem is speaking to us, with Earthquakes, volcano activations, floods, tornados and thunder. The Earth is a living Planet & it has Consciousness. The Earth wants to live and be in Harmony with the rest of the Universe.

So.

With the above mentioned considerations, I am directly asking “us” to understand that the Forces that hold the Firmament together were in Communication (Hermes/Mercury/Messenger) with the ancient Sages who codified the Language and practices and delivered it through the ancient books for future generations-and this Knowledge constitutes a Universal Treasure.

The Truth about the Angelic Forces & the Book of Enoch.

To the best of our “delivered” knowledge we know that Enoch was an ancient Patriarch of the Biblical order. Enoch was one of the two Sages that was exempt from death (the other one was prophet Elijah) and was according to this tradition “taken” up to Heaven to be close to god. So think about the Hindu Gurus that were able to sit in Meditation and Transition by Will to the next level of their Journey…or think about Ascended Masters such as St. Germain, Moriah or Hilarion {who actually transitioned in the island of Cyprus (my birth place)-at the time of the Roman Empire}.

So Enoch- the Sage and a group of his students put together this collection of Texts, a book/grimoire dated back to 3rd century BCE and 1st Century CE and as described this text was covering Astronomy, Heavenly Journeys, Parables and the Story of the Archangelic Orders & Fallen Angels.

And guess what?!

The Book of Enoch was found in 1773 in Ethiopia by explorer James Bruce and was written in ancient language called Ge’ ez. {The Ethiopian Tewahedo Church accepted and integrated this book in their system of worship}. While some more of the Book of Enoch was found in the caves of Qumran/West Bank of the Dead Sea.

The knowledge found in the above described manuscripts came to be the base of the Judeo-Christian religions and in extension New Age and basically all we know about Angels.

These manuscripts describe experiences with Angelic Forces that humans had closest

-timewise to the creation of the World as we know it.

Attached is a Video of the Ancient Historic Church of Lalibela in Ethiopia-of where the manuscripts of Enoch were found. A living location that marks a beautiful syncretic fusion of Christianity & African Tradition.

Back to Astrology & the Four (Cardinal directions/Corners of the Universe.

-The Truth about the Four Royal Stars Source of Information.

Through my research I found that the conversation on the Royal Stars was revived around the 18th century by astrologer Vivian Robson (born 1890) in his book - “ The Fixed Stars & Constellations”

& astronomer William Tyler Olcott (born 1873) n his book -“Star Lore”.

Nevertheless, research shows that the original tradition who received this knowledge from the Babylonians were the Zoroastrians. Zoroastrian Sacred texts such as the Bundahishn meaning -”The Primal Creation” write extensively on the Royal Stars as the Guardians/Watchers of the Heavens.

So!

Why are we Talking about this in such Detail?

Because is important with all the noice and chaos that surrounds us, to trace the true Sources of information.

The Book of Enoch is the original Source of info we have on the Archangelic orders and their Divine Nature as Guardians/Watchers of the Four Corners of the Heavens.

The Zoroastrian scriptures is the original Source we have in relation to the Four Fixed Stars/Royal Stars of Persia…the Watchers of the Heavens associated with the Archangels.

And.

The reason I was inspired to write about this subject is because Angelic Presence is very powerfully with us at the moment.

Starting August 15th (the Assumption of Mary) which coincides with the lent of Archangel Michael (August 15th culminating on his feast Day, September 29th).

The Forces are being revealed and we are (possibly) able to get a glimpse of the Beauty & Harmony of the Heavens. The Crystal Palace of the Beyond, in absolute Peace & Perfection.

Few Words about the Divine Being-Archangel Michael.

The Book of Enoch states that Archangel Michael (associated with the Fixed Star Aldebaran) “rules the best part of human kind and over Chaos-this Chaos being a certain realm/ dimension of the Cosmos”. This phrase defined Archangel Michael as ruler of Light & Darkness (Erevos) the Ruler between Realms.

Archangel Michael is described as a glorious Being of exquisite Beauty (a Royal Star) -the Prince of Heaven and attributed the qualities of:

Leader & Guardian

Executor of Divine Law

Heavenly Guide of Souls

Supreme Commander & Defender

All Archangels have heavenly duties but Archangel Michael is particularly loved by humans considered to be the One closest to us, due to his Nature of Duality, the Light & Darkness.

Magick & Kabalah.

And this is exactly why (the position of Duality of Archangel Michael ) that most known magickal Traditions understand that in order to attempt to speak the language of Spirit…

One has to respectfully “knock on the Gate” and call Archangel Michael & his Legions of Guardians, before any other action.

This realization gave context to thousands of books and numerous prayers written as petitions to the Prince of the Heavens and all other Archangelic Forces.

One more detail which I find very important and personally agree with, is that in the Book of Enoch the Archangels are mostly identified as ruling/guarding over Realms of Spirit rather than fixed Cardinal Directions but for the sake of human understanding and Ceremonial Magick the Gates were attributed to the Four Archangels.

In other words the Archangels are Watchers of Realms.

Ok, now let’s take a deep breath and a moment to receive all this information shared above.

Is it possible that we can develop our own relationship with the Guides & Directions?

Maybe this upcoming Lunar Eclipse will heal & reveal.

Join us for online Meditation, Thursday the 27th at 7pm.

Please contact me for the link.

If one studies the Eclipse Cycles will see that Eclipses hold patterns of large Cycles called the Saros- which were studied by the Chaldean (Babylonian) and Ancient Greek astronomers and astrologers. By observing those Cycles it became apparent throughout the entire recorded history that Eclipses (movements of the Luminaries- the Sun & the Moon) are turning points for humanity

a) for Political Leaders & people in Power

b) profound and unexpected life changes both in organized groups/movements and our individual personal lives.

Why is that?

Because the Luminaries (Sun & Moon) are the closest to us humans and have a crucial and life maintaining function upon Earth.

In all ancient traditions, Sun & Moon are considered to be our Grandfather & Grandmother, the central Source of this Universe-the union of the Ometeotl.

Also, Eclipses were always perceived as Sacred moments of where the Portals of the Cosmos are open therefore is a Time to pay attention.

Sun lives in our third Chakra-Solar Plexus and is the Source of our Will Power & Moon lives in our Second Chakra and symbolizes Reproductive System, Connection, Sensuality, Creativity, Emotions & Dreams.

The above mentioned functions are directly affected by Eclipses.

Eclipses of 2026 Dates:

Eclipses happen in pairs within one Lunar Cycle.

This Year first set of eclipses:

• February 17, 2026: Annular Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius (Element-Fixed Air)

• March 3, 2026: Total Lunar Eclipse at 12° Virgo (Element-Mutable Earth)

  (What was happening in your life at that time? And if the Eclipse happened over your Sun, Moon or Rising is definitely still in action).

Upcoming Pair of Eclipses:

• August 12, 2026: Total Solar Eclipse at 20° Leo ( Fixed Fire) Conjuncts the South Node-what we are leaving behind. Begins at 11:34am ET

• August 27–28, 2026: Partial Lunar Eclipse at 4° Pisces (Oceanic Water) begins at 9:23pm ET.

  

My Suggestion:

The first thing to do if you are interested to observe the cycles is, take a pencil & a note book-study the basics (what-happened-when) and then you will know at least the basics for your own life.

Truly sync in- at the time of the Eclipse take a moment, close your eyes and tune in-is there a message here for you/me all of us?

Don't be afraid to look within, this is a great opportunity for healing and revelations.

Of course having a reading with a professional astrologer is a great place to start and that is why we are here.

Some astrologers focus primarily on Eclipses although we all are fascinated and a tiny bit scared of them-at least I am-because I am aware of the potency.

And just to be clear here, I am not encouraging fear, I am just expressing my awe and reverence over the Great Mystery and those moments that can change everything in the blink of an eye.

So here are some things I want to share about Cycles:

What one Eclipse Initiates on the Zodiacal Axis, an upcoming Eclipse is re-activating or revisiting. One simple way to understand this is the pie chart example I recently mentioned on my last essay. When a Leo Eclipse happens not only the entire Leo energy is activated Collectively and Personally but also the opposite “pie piece” which is Aquarius. And so it happens with all zodiacal houses working on an axis.

The zodiacal houses/qualities are working in their polarities (as I priorly mentioned) within a Yin & Yang aspect.

In this way, while a proud powerful leader can fall (when Eclipsed) in a similar way a Community loving Aquarian can harbor qualities of control and grasp over power.

So the Eclipses-you will find out as you study them-are All about Power and how we use it.

Themes of this upcoming Eclipse.

Leo activation: The power to Create, Lead & Guide ourselves & others. Understanding how tyrannical powers created the World as is at the moment and what is our saying or power to change it. Aquarius- “we the people” -The power lies into smaller organized Communities and support systems. Truly supporting each other we shift the powers that be.

Eclipses bring us upon the Crossroads.

Eclipses be-come possible due to the Nodes (ecliptic points of the Moon) and their interaction with Sun & the Earth.

-Remember the Cosmic Serpent which embraces the Moon?

This Serpent has been called many names such as: Quetzalcoatl, Oxumare, Vasuki, Ouroboros etc and it portrays the Cyclical Nature of Kundalini Energy-the Source of Life on Earth. It has to do with our physicality.

So Eclipses are:

an Interaction

a Meeting, a Communication

Crossing paths of Sun, Moon & Earth.

Other Planets are being eclipsed or covered by other Planetary bodies and those are usually called Occultations or other various transits.

Now.

The Cosmic Serpent is now active- The Portal is open leading us to Lions Gate (August 8th the Rising of the Star Sirius over the Pyramids along with King Sun). This Lions Gate culminates with an Eclipse-this is rather profound and signifies an upgrade of Consciousness.

A Diamond ring Eclipse occurs when the Sun is covered by the Moon and for a tiny moment a ray of the Sun creates this effect right around totality. This is a rare spectacle.

And as we all know astrology is about symbols and how they are perceived/mirrored within our human psyche.

So this diamond ring Eclipse is about to reveal the true depths of our longing. What do we want to Commit to- with our heart of hearts?

Not out of ego (eclipsing the ego) but out of true life calling and what makes us really joyful. Leo is about the “lion heart” the fearless, Just leader. (Xango).

Homework.

Check where is your Leo and who is he hanging out with?

Check where is your Sun?

Check who is in your 5th house?

Observe who are the leaders that are coming down and what leading abilities you are developing? We all have them. Watch the illusions of false power fall within and without.

This is a South Node Eclipse-Change might come through loss.

Happy Full Moon in Aquarius everyone!

There was so much I wanted to write about but/and life happened very fast. And as we all might be experiencing and famous Meditation teacher Pema Chodron confirms: “Life can be magical as life can be brutal at the same time”.

and so it goes…

Grant Astrological Events.

The Shift of the Nodes.

Here we are at the greatly anticipated moment of the Nodal Shift, Rahu & Ketu the Cosmic Serpent which embraces the Moon (with Rahu being North & Ketu being South). For the last 18 months we worked with Rahu (North Node) being in Pisces (the 12th house) & South Node (Ketu) being in Virgo (the 6th house).

The 6th and 12th houses are critical points on the chart of Human Evolution-it is where it all solidifies (Virgo/Earth) and where it all liquifies and dissolves (Pisces/Water).

Virgo who recites in the 6th house is ruled by Mercury and is represented by the Element of Earth. Mercury on Earthly Virgo represents the daily routine, habits and communication, physical body health and care-without that we can't go anywhere.

Pisces on the other side -imagine this to be a pie chart and the Axis working in opposite slices- in the 12th house. The oceanic Consciousness of life creation, death and karma, represented by the Element of Water. Pisces is the House of mystery and subconscious wonder co-ruled by the brothers Jupiter & Neptune (Zeus & Poseidon)-(Olokun & Yemanja).

A Case Study on the Nodes.

There is all this conversation about the Nodes being: the North-where we are headed at and the South being past life karma or the Rahu (head of the serpent) being hungry for life and success and Ketu (the tail) being about what we are leaving behind.

What I would say on this is the following:

Astrological cycles are exactly that-Cycles.

So if you observe what has happened the last time the Nodal Axis was at the same astrological houses then, you have your answers.

The Nodes are undoubtedly linked to karma, evolutionary cycles and marked by moments of deep loss and transformation.

For example, the last time the Nodes were-North in Pisces & South in Virgo was on June 23 2006-December 18th 2007 and I distinctly remember calling that exact period of my life, the Dark Ages…

-Why?

I was in college, worked nights in the hospitality industry (4pm-midnight) going to school in the morning (8:30am-3pm) and studying in between. I did not have a Spiritual Community and I had not found the study of Healing yet.

But that exact time I had experienced a profound Spiritual awakening which let me to seek all the above mentioned and then out of the deep Dark night of the Soul Light broke in, a new life emerged. (Felt very much like the life of a butterfly).

Next Time the Nodes were in exact same position although reversed:

North Node in Virgo & South Node in Pisces was November 12th 2015-May 9th 2017.

The above mentioned Year for me was marked by deep studies of various Spiritual Modalities, such as yoga, meditation and visiting South America multiple times. That Year culminated with letting go of my beloved space/business Yoga Studio. I was once again on the Cross Roads. Letting go of that Creation/Work was life changing and felt a lot like the loss of a “child”. Also at that time I was coming out of many years participating with one Spiritual Community and connecting to another new one.

The Themes-This Past Year.

So we have experienced North Node (Rahu) in Pisces & South Node (Ketu) in Virgo, January 12th-July 26th 2026.

And I can testify that this was also one of the most challenging years of my life ( you don't know it until you experience it) marked by deep loss especially in relationships and again Spiritual groups and connections. The biggest aspect though was/is letting go of illusions (Neptune in Aries ) and false images simply peeling off my eyes (Saturn-to see the Truth).

The Study.

The above shared observations are not about casting blame or anything like that. What “went down simply went down”, I believe-in the sake of Evolution & Truth. In the sake of Growth-we all grow and nothing remains stagnant, we are all on the “right path” as we are supposed to be-whatever that means for each one of us.

Similar to the Hero’s Journey (so much for the Odyssey movie production these days) what has been experienced, seeing the monsters, encountering the deep fears, nightmares, attachments, following the longing to be “home”…is exactly the Journey of the Nodes.

Nodes are about our deepest longing and work to get there…

I, many times wish that change was less heart breaking, less crushing and instead more respectful, softer, kinder…

Yet, the above is not the nature of Change, change can be brutal and painful.

I often wish that we had the Grace to say:

- “I see you, I appreciate your work, you also are not only allowed to exist but- You are blessed- this World needs you…”

( and in some cases I did truly hear and experienced that-this Year in the Moondance ).

Instead of elbowing, pushing, shutting down and stepping over to get to the “prize” which is usually money and power manipulation.

And this is the lesson of the Nodes:

Nothing works in absolute opposition.

-Do you remember the symbol of the Yin & Yang?

Keep that in mind because it is obvious, we are all experiencing a melting and a merging of the two opposites.

-In the case of the Nodes we are experiencing the True Ometeotl- the Two become One & sometimes interchange roles.

With the Shadow of Virgo melting and loosing all boundaries (affected by Pisces) and Pisces becoming a bit rigid, solidifying (taking on Virgo qualities).

So…

Nodes as Points of Destiny & Power.

So we get to see that all the talk about the Nodes being something fixed, is not quite accurate. The Nodes and all astrological movements/points of interaction are all individually experienced and felt by the “color” of our personality (what color of shades we have on) family experiences, culture, life longings and most importantly the level of Consciousness we hope to maintain.

The more we grow, the more Self Aware we become the more manageable are the changes but sometimes the deeper the pain. Because as we grow we invest deeper in our relations, we hope and wish to be more authentic, we hope and wish that we will be embraced and welcomed for who we are and becoming…

We hope and dream…(Neptune in Aries-turning all illusions to steam-steam is healing but too much can hurt and injure).

Returning to the Present Moment.

The Nodal axis of Pisces & Virgo has a more Personal nature vs the Nodal axis in North (rahu) Aquarius-South (ketu) Leo has a more Collective imprint.

And this is why, in the past, I had mentioned that with this Axis we will experience the Energy shifting from the personal to the Collective. In other words we can catch a breath while the Collective (Aquarius- we the people) and political (Leo the leader) challenges will intensify.

-What happened in your Life & the Collective scene the last time North Node was in Aquarius & South in Leo?

The Dates:

May 23rd 1989 - November 18th 1990 (Fall of Berlin Wall- we the people, Revolution in Eastern Europe, end of Cold War)

November 3rd 1970 - April 27th 1972 (Vietnam War protests, Nixon in China, Watergate scandal).

Nodes in Reverse;

North Node in Leo-South in Aquarius:

May 10th 2017 - November 6th 2018 (me too movement, humanitarian crisis and protests).

October 21st 1998 - November 6th 2000 ( Clinton impeachment, Ethiopian War, US embassy bombings in Tanzania & Kenya).

An Eventful Full Moon in Aquarius.

On July 29th (the elimination degree) at 10:35 am we will experience a Full Moon (opposing the Sun which is at 6” & 30m Leo).

We the People vs Sun (the kings and leaders)…

In the same Day we will experience a Jupiter Cazimi- Jupiter/Zeus the god of Justice and thunder in the heart of the king…Sun. (Revelations, isights, sometimes heart attacks/ “thunder in the heart”…

While at the same time the Moon closely conjuncts Pluto- giving us a jolting experience of what is actually dying in our lives…getting in touch with the grief involved.

-What is undeniably dying & transforming?

While at the same time Venus in 21 Virgo squares Mars in 21 Gemini with Mercury in 18’ Cancer (very emotional) delivering the messages of the Cosmic Lovers tight interaction.

A square brings an energy of both Planets mostly holding on their ground with the best case scenario being a “we agree to disagree” situation.

While Chiron is in 00” Taurus- of where we get an opportunity to understand how “the trauma” was created.

While the Nodes are also in the elimination (critical) degree 29”Aquarius vs 29” Leo.

This full Moon will be intensely felt and many astrologers called it an Eclipse or very close to feeling like one (fated) and/or definitely introducing us into the upcoming Eclipse Season in August.

Will share more about the upcoming Eclipse Dates & Events soon.

Join us on online Meditation the exact Day of the Eclipse- August 12th evening. Message me for Info.

When vivid messages and insights are coming through I am becoming aware that these are the current Universal influences that want to be heard and recorded.

In other words when I keep hearing/seeing the same message popping up in multiple situations then I know, that is time to pay attention.

And in this case, the insight related to the “blessing” as an act of benevolence and rite of passage is related to Zeus/Jupiter entering the fiery Leo.

The Questions:

What does the Blessing as a Rite of Passage signify?

What is the act of Blessing some-thing or someone anyway?

Why is this subject important within the Journey of human experience, development and Evolution?

How is the Blessing as a rite of passage reverberating within the Collective?

How is the Blessing an allocation or delegation of Power & Responsibility?

The Specifics:

Jupiter has entered Leo on June 30th 2026 (and all of a sudden we have a heat wave and extreme weather conditions and earth phenomena). Jupiter will remain in Leo until July 26th 2027.

Jupiter rules the 9th house of where Sagittarius the Archer lives.

Element - Still Fire as in a candle or the hearth. Still Fire is the spark of Creation and the Center of the Communal/Ceremonial/Temple Fire- the Guardian of it is The Priestess.

Jupiter is the old ruler of the 12th house of where the Oceanic Pieces lives

Signifying Birth, Death & re-incarnation.

…and Jupiter feels at home in the 4th house of Lunar Cancer.

Jupiter is a wide and broad Energy and works with water as a form of Consciousness the Sacred Feminine Force Yemaya (in double rulership with Neptune).

The Shift of Consciousness -The Myth of Prometheus.

What is interesting about the complex myths of the Titans and the Ancient Greek Theogony/Cosmology is that the gods in power, Jupiter and Saturn were not particularly fond of humans.

-And this is a subject which I always talk about in my essays, that this Earth was not always a benevolent or beautiful place to inhabit.

In fact myth describes that the gods did not care much about their own children either, as Power and who would rule seemed to be their main interest.

So on observing those myths we can come to Conclusion that upon the Time of Creation & development the Guarding of Point of Power and Rulership was the prior and main objective.

What does that mean?

Let us say for example: you build a house or buy an estate-what is the first thing you would do?

-The first think you would probably do is claim ownership, create a physical boundary (a fence) and put a mark upon the land signifying that this is now Yours and you have all rights over it…

And this was the process of claiming Power (third Chakra) over the “lots” of Earth, the “mansions of the Moon” and the entire Universe according to gods (elements and their qualities).

(What I am describing here is knowledge supported by ancient books such as the Picatrix, Bible & the Vedas).

But in the story of Evolution of Consciousness we see that Jupiter end up developing sympathy towards humans after he came to know “them/us” a bit better.

So Jupiter end up-in His own Evolution of Consciousness seeing humans as beings of value (Venus) and potential, therefore as a result bestowed his Blessings upon Humanity; in this way becoming a Benefic Force.

Prior to That.

Prior to this shift of Consciousness and before Prometheus stole the Fire from the gods, humans lived in a dark, cold environment with raw food in primitive conditions.

Because the gods kept the Fire as their own privilege.

And guess what?

This primitive stage of cold and unwelcoming Environment by “coincidence” was described to be before the Birth/Creation of the First Human Woman.

So it was the blessing of Fire that changed everything for humans…

And it was the Birth/Creation of the first Human Woman/Mother that changed humanity for ever.

The Archetype of Shakti in all Her Forms.

Fire, the spark of Creation, Fire the hot illuminating Light, the Spirit of many colors and profound Consciousness is what elevated humanity.

So Prometheus, who’s name means the Freethinker or the one who thinks ahead (in modern Greek language meaning) the One who Provides…

Prometheus acted as a revolutionary figure upon humanity’s beginnings, one who saw the value of Fire and decided to steal it from the gods and give it to humans.

Prometheus said: “We have the right to a better life as well!”

Simultaneously, there were other pivotal developments for Humanity, such as the Creation of the First Woman by Hephaestus (god of fire and metal). Hephestus created a woman modeled in likeness and blessed by the Goddesses Athena, Venus and the messenger Hermes/Mercury.

The first Woman ever created was called Pandora ( bringer of All Gifts).

Of course at that point things went a bit wrong again and on failing to follow instructions Pandoras box carried not only gifts but woes as well. Those woes all escaped and were released upon humanity

but Hope remained.

Do you see the similarity in the Creation Story? In the myth Zeus/Jupiter bestows benevolence to Humans; In the Genesis myth God gives the spark of Life to Adam with his finger tip (index finger ruled by Jupiter). Therefore hands and touch have been considered the classical form of blessing gesture of offering goodness as a Universal symbol. (Michelangelos fresco of Creation in Cappella Sistina, Vatican).

The Significance of Myth & It’s Multidimensional Quality.

So at this point, is clear that Myths express the Nature of Duality: the Light and the Shadow, the good qualities and the challenging ones, the Above & the Below.

The Myths also express a 3D quality of Time and Causality; for example the Three Moirae (Fates); Clotho-The Spinner, Lachesis (the one who asignes Fate and Atropos (the Unavoidable End, the cutting of Life).

Within the above mentioned example I am pointing out a pattern in Myths-The Duality of the Characters and the 3D Time Quality of Past-Present-Future; Qualities which form the Human Experience and the Cycle of Life.

Therefore, on reading Myths as multidimensional reflections we can sense their reverberating essence which creates a living influence over human development and evolution.

So in this story, Prometheus was a Force which challenged Zeus/Jupiter’s sole rulership and through that Conflict-progress was achieved.

And because in Conflict/Revolution there is always resistance and consequences…

In this myth

Prometheus was punished by being bound on a rock and each day the Eagle of Zeus would consume his liver-the liver would re-generate and be consumed again the next day. This was Prometheus punishment for a long Time until by grace of Zeus/Jupiter, the hero Hercules was send to free Prometheus.

Now!

Many of us know (through Chinese Medicine and other ancient forms of healing) that the liver is an organ which holds emotions, particularly anger and ancestral attachments.

So the direct questions here are:

-What profound Emotions will Jupiter in Leo bring up for all of us to see within the next year?

-Which spark of fire, revolution and creativity has been held hostage within us?

-What is all consuming and “eating us alive?

On Evolution.

On arriving to the Subject of Evolution & Consciousness, it is clear that all Consciousness evolves within stages.

These stages correspond to the Chakra System and other parallel “modern” forms of it such as the Pyramid of Maslow/Hierarchy of needs.

Consciousness develops when the Human body is fed, warm, has a sense of belonging and love.

God/Archetype Consciousness developed by contact with the human consciousness. In other words Zeus/Jupiter was changed by his encounter and contact with humans. So when he “opened his heart” and “tight fist” ended up bestowing blessings over humans, as a result of that Universal Consciousness changed.

So all of the aspects Develop and Integrate through the Opening of the Heart (chakra) realm and through open Communication (Mercury).

Therefore it is proven that when we are able to ascend the Kundalini energy from the primal needs of consumption, power assertion, mental attachment and hopefully are able to drop into the realm of the Heart, then Consciousness shifts.

…And Fire does exactly that!

It helps us open our heart, melt the coldness of an uninhabited, unfriendly environment and access the Benevolence of a State of Blessing.

Blessing as a Rite of Passage.

As priorly mentioned, after Zeus/Jupiter the king of gods (a ruling Power) was able to access a space of Empathy then the Collective Consciousness received an upgrade.

Ritual started including Fire, candles and the hearth became the Center of the Temple. Cooked food, warm herbal remedies and the Energetic outpouring of Blessings was the new home for humans.

Then along with the First Woman, fire and hearth Guardian, the archetype of the Priestess came to be…the giver of all gifts.

A woman in service (Athina) of the Beauty (Venus) Way (Mercury).

Blessing from the gods/Elements translate to:

I see you

I accept your offerings

You have not only the right to exist but to Thrive as well

The obstacles are removed

The Universe works with you and you have the opportunity to co-create

Love is with you…

And those open hearted/Jovial qualities became rites of passage passed down from priests to elders to linage to children etc…

Therefore the Blessing as a Rite of Passage became a Ceremonial Initiation, the passing of a symbolic or actual staff of Power, Wisdom and Benevolence which leads to positive action that can be meaningful to the Collective.

The linage that was blessed by grace had an opportunity to receive initiation and follow ritual steps to manifest and actively carry this blessing as a way of being.

And through this we received the Collective rituals/rites of passage in our various Cultures.

On the shadow side, in the absence of Blessing we become “cast out of Paradise” and are considered “the poor banished children of Eve”, a place of lack of Grace…

The Value of the Blessing.

Throughout my years of experience in the healing field and my own humanity, I came to conclusion that the bestowing of Blessing is the most important thing/value/aspect of one’s life.

An open hand of Benevolence, softness, acceptance, goodness is e v e r y t h i n g one could ever ask for. Because no matter your circumstances this benevolent force or gesture can make all the difference. If it is authentic and comes from the heart.

And here I want to clarify the follwing:

Not taking advantage of goodness or being taken advantage of, not manipulation, not intimidation, not demand, not bribing, not stealing another Essence…

None of the above is Blessing.

Blessing is simply wishing good to someone from your heart.

Simply wishing good…with clear eyes and authentic voice.

No matter what state you are in…

-Are we capable of this?

Many times is easier said than done.

Do we even see its value of this? Or are we way wrapped in all that is happening?

And here I am stating clearly:

My observation is that we are spending way too much time trying to “fight” the bad, way too much time trying to resolve or break spells or curses. We are spending way too much time trying to understand what went wrong and document it as “scientific evidence’ vs simply opening our heart and pour goodness out of it.

Doing so is a state of being, hard to achieve. (it was even hard for Zeus/Jupiter).

And it is my experience that many humans struggle with scarcity of love and goodness but thrive in blood thirsty competition (distorted Mars) or struggle in deep ignorance on how ancestral wounds are affecting their life therefore causing a sense of non benevolence.

The Encouragement.

Let us shift our attention from contemplating or perpetuating the curses or wishing people bad…let us stop surrounding ourselves with that energy and shift to the Jupiterean Lion Heart of warmth and Blessing.

Is it possible?

This will be the challenge of Jupiter in Leo. Things will intensify on July 26th, 2026 when the long awaited shift of the Nodes will happen, from Pisces-Virgo to Aquarius-Leo. The energy of Fire & Air will be predominant.

More on that soon.

Join us for a nine day online Meditation starting July 14th-22nd.

Let us shift our inner and outer World together.

Look up on Wednesday June 17th towards Jupiter meeting Crescent Moon conjunction. And on Thursday the 18th, as Mercury will shine with Jupiter.

While Friday June 19th, Chiron will enter Taurus.

These Energies are activating our inner longing-What is that we truly long for? -In a sense of long term life mission.

This is a Time for big wishes-so be very specific on what you are asking for.

Activation of the Sacred Feminine Principle-Healing our Emotional Body.

The West, of the Cardinal directions represents the Mother of the Waters, the Sacred Feminine Force of the Oceans, Rivers and primordial fluids.

Water is not only about the nourishment of our physical body and the body of the Earth, the growth of plants and food but also about our Emotions.

The Second Energetic Body (wheel/portal) in the Chakra system (Swadistana) is our Emotional/fluid body.

So Everything that is happening on the West side of the Sky & Jupiter being in his domain in Cancer; Venus occultation by the Crescent Moon, brings up the stirring of our Emotional world.

What seeds have you planted this past New Moon in Gemini?

Which (Gemini Moon) was about our “mortal & “immortal” Self.

With Chiron entering earthy Taurus on Friday, June 19th-as astrologers say, we are all “due for the memo”.

What does this mean?

-In short, it means that we will feel it in our physical body and immediate possessions.

Chiron-The Medicine of the Outcast.

Taurus recites in the second house of the zodiacal wheel and is ruled by Venus.

The second house is about our physical body, appearance and all things of value to us (with Venus being about value, sensuality and Beauty-Swatistana (sacrum) & Anahata (heart) Chakras).

Chiron our beloved Centaur, enters this territory (of the human body/incarnation) and offers us the opportunity to acknowledge and take care of what hurts.

To my understanding, Chiron (which I spoke extensively about in previous essays) is the most multifaceted “Entity” of the Planetoid & Asteroid pantheon. He (as an archetype) is the Caboclo who lived in caves in the Virgin Forest, holding the Knowledge of the Emerald tablet; the secrets of the Plant, herbal and animal kingdom.

In a syncretic way, Chiron’s story reminds us that of St.Sebastian. Chiron similarly wounded by poisonous arrows and taken in a cave (exactly as St. Sebastian was nursed to heal in a cave).

An interesting detail is that Chiron was hurt by a beloved friend and mentee, his student and famous hero, Hercules-by mistake! So with this in mind, think about Chiron’s story as an opportunity to heal betrayal in our close relationships.

…If possible.

Think about all the ways we hurt one another in our circle/family and the possibility to heal this wound.

The classic story of exile is the one of a “cut off”, it is about excommunication. When a part of the whole is cut off the entire body aches, the eco-system of the body is wounded and both separated parts try to recover.

The body continues healing it’s wound and the cut off part-the outcast is either going to die bleeding out or find it’s most profound inner Core Light and do not only survive but grow to it’s own purpose.

For example:

-Is it possible for a fish to survive alone out of water?

Within the laws of Nature the answer is No…

But here Chiron (the Caboclo Sao Sebastiao) is talking to us about Shamanic transformation through the magical portal of the Realm of the Heart, through the Core of this Earth’s -which is The Emerald Tablet- The Heart of this World.

Chiron, who came to our consciousness in 1977 has since then being pouring through his “healing hands” the opportunity to transform the Wound of the Outcast the wound of “not belonging”.

Thus achieving a state of Core Light Strength-by Believing in our Goodness-anchoring in our inner Light, aligning with the Source. -This is our only hope.

And all this is happening while we are “flying through” the Year of the fire horse; Evidently some of us are tightly holding the reins, flailing as this wild fiery horse is galloping through a desert.

Within this Cancer Season the Universe offers an opportunity to counter Balance with the Healing Energies of the Guiding Star of the West-the Mother of the Waters.

Entering Cancer Season.

Things are about to get more emotional as the Sun enters the sign of Oceanic Cancer on June 22nd coinciding Summer Solstice. King Sun will shine on its longest day and then the light will start diminishing by seconds.

So this Solsctice is a big Day with Sun in 1”, Mercury 24” and Jupiter 28” all in Cancer; Signifying big emotions, soft core and the desire to be free and all encompassing.

-We long to fulfill our Spiritual mission, free and (as a friend put it recently) to

Be the Blessing.

Be the Blessing on Our Own Path.

Cancer Season & Mercury Rx.

Cancer the Oceanic primordial being who lives over the ocean floor wonders, is a very interesting being.

Hard shell, soft center, can bite if bothered and hunts with its claws-crab lives with the cycles of the Moon and it is about emotions and navigation.

Cancer is an intuitive, psychic being which fuses the energies of Moon, Earth & Water.

When Mercury in Cancer will head towards its long Summer retrograde in June 29th until August 9th; we will dive deeper into our emotional ocean floor.

Both Mercury in Cancer (Emotional Body) & Chiron in Taurus (physical body, posessions and our relationship with the earth and agriculture) will be on the fore front.

Things from the past (memories) related to mother, children, family bonds, nurturance or lack thereof. The need for comfort, contact support, a soft place to land will be deeply felt by all.

All the while the fire horse is galloping towards the grand conjunctions of the Titans which will happen in mid-July.

Returning to the Medicine of the Outcast.

Some of us with strong Chiron energy on our astrology chart (people that were born 1977 and after) carry this form of medicine.

Ideally when a person has a talent or an inclination towards healing there is usually a linage they find & finds them.

People with an inherent Chironic “wound” mission will find the Guidance-and the ideal would be that their Teacher or Elder blesses them to carry the Work.

The Ideal order and hierarchy is: Elder first-we study and then when is Time we receive the blessing and grow our own way.

“-Thank you, I have learned a lot here, it is Time to grow

and then the Elder whole heatedly offers their blessing.”

The above is the ideal but in real life things do not always happen this way.

If there is a rift, envy, jealousy, fear or painful and injuring severance, this can be very painful and hard to survive; It can bring a deep sense of loss.

The above situation described can signify yet another layer of Shamanic initiation…

But here is one more insight that we will have the opportunity to explore within the next three months;

-This one is gift of Saturn:

the whole upheaval and suffering we receive as humans, happens when we are not aligned with our true Longing, our deepest spiritual mission.

Jupiter/ Zeus/ Deus (9th house) is the god within, is the longing to be aligned with our Souls mission.

And Saturn is the suffering that derives from forcing ourselves towards all kinds of chaotic karma instead of True alignment.

Thank you for reading!

I can’t wait to see you in July on weekly online Meditation.

While June 12th Planet Uranus will square the Nodes, of which day we might experience a shocking Truth or Revelation that could change our lives for ever.

Plus, you never know, miracles do happen and we are definitely not alone in this vast, perplexing and magnificent Universe.

A Devotional Offering to Shiva (India).

On Sacrifice & Offerings to the Spirit World.

Of course you might wonder why I chose such a Plutonian (dark & deep) subject for my summer writing?

Curious right?

Shouldn’t I be writing about sweet strawberries on the local farm stands?

Maybe…but while that is true, I have a Pluto transit in the 5th house (belly laughter inserted here). Pluto, Hades of the underworld is transiting my house of joy, fun and play, so instead of becoming a dominatrix or joining a martial Arts class, I chose to wear black often and activate my Mercurial writer’s inspiration at the present moment before the Big and Wild changes of July come to shake us all.

So I feel that writing about the above subject is a healthy and rather courageous way of feeding my Pluto transit.

Which brings up the question of “feeding the Spirits” and what does that mean?

A subject we will explore some in this essay.

Anyhow, talking about death and sacrifice in midsummer night is definitely not easy at all. But, I wouldn’t do it if I did not consider it to be absolutely necessary.

So.

Thank you for sending comments and questions, I appreciate it.

The Autobiographical Part.

Starting with an anecdote and autobiographical detail, which is that, the one thing my parents warned me to stay away from was to seek communication with the Spirit World (more laughter here). My parents said, “Whatever you do in life, do not go into Spiritism and anything to do with the Occult”. This, to my understanding, is very telling of human Nature. It is absolutely proven that we tend to go right into what our parents told us to stay away from, maybe out of curiosity, possibly out of a revolutionary character or pure inclination.

Nevertheless, I believe that my parents saw my tendency early on, as I truly believed that everyone could see the aura of the plants and how plants were happy and bright if I sat next to them and I spoke to them…

Needless to say that was the beginning of the decline of the relationship with my mother, as she was deeply concerned and disappointed by observing my tendencies.

And the rest is history, as we say. A story which eventually I will share.

But it is definitely worth mentioning that, even though Spirits were very alive at my birth place, I did cross an entire Ocean in order to be “free” and able to explore this relationship with the Spirit World.

I have crossed this Ocean in order to explore my Spiritual inclination and expose my self in depth within various traditions freely and without prosecution. (That is to a certain extend, because we tent to repeat our wound cycle wherever we go)

Now on with our Exploration.

-What Others Said?

In my research on the subject of Sacrifice and Offerings as a form of Communication with the Spirit World, I found some interesting books and writers.

In Modern Literature.

One of them, of course, being the great Joseph Campbell over the entirety of his work “The Power of Myth” who wrote extensively on ancient Cultures, Spirit Communication and the World of Archetypes as a fundamental part of our “hero’s journey”.

Joseph Campbell presented the idea that the Offering is a symbol of something that the character (hero) will encounter and must work with, such as an obstacle or characteristic, habit etc of which the Journey will transform and purify; In order to arrive to our true authentic Self.

So for Campbell the process is more of an internal one and his work assisted on making sense our inner world and life journey.

“Consorting with Spirits” by author Jason Miller speaks in detail of the hierarchies of Spirits. And with that in mind we understand that the Spirit World varies in personality, characteristics and density. In other words we would approach an Archangel different than an Earth Spirit, not that we need to be less cautious or less respectful to any Them; Is just different Energy, precisely because the Spirit World has Power we are not accustomed with or even comprehend.

And one (book) that I particularly like is “Talking to the Spirits: Personal Gnosis in Pagan Religion” by Kenaz Filan & Raven Kaldera.

From this last book listed, I particularly love the below intro because it expresses exactly how I feel about the subject-and this approach is called Animism.

Talking to the Spirits, by Filan & Kaldera, Intro:

“For our ancestors the whole world was alive with spirits. The Gods bubbled forth from rivers and springs and whispered in the breezes that rustled through cities and farms. The ground underfoot, the stones, the fire that cooked the food and drove off the darkness, these all had spirits--not just spirits in some other dimension, but spirits in them who could be spoken to and allied with. In today’s world we are led to believe that the spirits long ago went silent and that spiritual wisdom can only be gained through established religious doctrine.

Providing a guide for opening two-way conversation with the spirits of daily life as well as direct communication with the Gods, Kenaz Filan and Raven Kaldera explore how to enrich your spiritual path with personal gnosis--asking your Guides for assistance or teachings and receiving a response. They explain how to develop your sensitivity to the voices of the Divine, discern genuine spiritual messages from the projection of internal psychodrama, and what to do (and not do) with the messages you receive. Confirming their own personal gnosis with Northern Tradition Pagan beliefs and Greco-Roman, Celtic, Egyptian, and indigenous hunter-gatherer lore, the authors discuss how to avoid theological conflicts when someone’s personal gnosis differs from that of their Pagan group as well as how to authenticate messages with individual and group divination. Offering practices and principles for seekers and groups, they reveal that the spirits never went silent, we simply forgot how to hear them”.

So from this Intro and to our subject, I want to state the following:

-I am not here to teach you how to communicate with Spirits–unless you ask me to.

But I am here to describe what, to my experience & Study I know to be truly essential awareness. In other words I am putting a puzzle together and sharing it with you for the purpose of Clarity.

Parenthesis:

(Our entire Cosmology, Environment, way of life, and our deep suffering is directly related to our Connection or lack thereof with the Spirit World. In other words, failing to understand that everything is alive and has a Spirit has consequences for humanity.)

Simply because Divine order is what Virgo (the Vestal Priestess) is concerned with–when things make sense, Spirit is happy and not chaotic.

So when we make sense of this World, when we decipher the Language of Spirit, then we will be able to bring more Harmony and Peace in our Lives and this World.

Did the Spirits ask for the Offerings to Begin with?

Yes, throughout history and all Holy Books, Spirits communicated through mediums, shamans, priests and occult practitioners, clearly asking for offerings of acknowledgment as a form of recognition and response–a mutual reciprocating relation with humans.

So here it is, what in a nutshell was asked from humans as described in the Old Testament (the below is a paraphrase of the basics).

• Atonement for Sin: Sacrifices were used to temporarily atone sins and exhibit a sense of realizing the mistake or trying to make amends and restore divine order.

• Expression of Devotion: Offerings as a form of Gratitude

• Fellowship and Communion: Certain offerings, like peace offerings, included a meal where a portion was offered in fire or water or the forest, for Nature Forces to receive.

  What was/is of Value?

The one most important thing is Life Force (Mars)–it is fuel and energy. So in multiple accounts, Spirits were in Communication with humans describing in detail how they wanted to be approached. They clearly defined the acceptable and comprehensive guidelines between the two worlds–according to their Nature & Hierarchy.

All of it–no matter how terrifying it sounds to some of us today–everything is about Life Force and energy fuel.

Let me repeat this clearly:

The most valuable thing we have is our Life Force/Energy and the most important act throughout the realms is how we utilize it.

-Where do we give our Power & Attention?

By understanding this firs, then wea re able to make an informed decision-before the Spirit makes it for us!

And this is how we establish a system of reciprocal exchange, by knowing and understanding What we feed with our Life Force, thoughts and Actions.

If we do not understand this, we are at the mercy of the Wild, untamed Forces. In other words, the Spirits that are not so benevolent will start interfering and taking away what they want. Mostly our peace and harmony, I even dare say our physical vitality.

African Women Praying.

Now, here is where things went and are going wrong.

In the first essay on this subject, I have established and many agree with me, that humans try to Communicate with Spirit in order to alter our condition of suffering.

We certainly think that for the most part, we do right by all.

We “work hard” to be good humans.

To live a charitable life, to do the best we can.

(As if the system was a system of reward for good deeds…the idea of karma–do good things and you will receive good things–which is a complex statement/not so simple).

But then we still suffer.

We suffer deeply, of loss, of confusion, of frustration, of ignorance, of physical pain, illness, envy and attacks by others, or plain poverty, war and so much more.

There is definitely not equality or Justice in the World at the moment.

No one is immune–rich, poor, civilian or “king”.

And then What?

…So we suffer and we ask for Mercy…

But guess what?

“Spirit is not a supermarket”, as one of my first Teachers in healing school pointed out.

Another great Teacher and medium expressed in one of her hymns: “quem recebe merece agradece nunca esquese- The One who received merit do not forget to say Thank you!”

And so the Wise warn us about code of contact, remembering to offer our Gratitude for the Good things we have in Life.

The first thing we learn at kindergarten is to say, Please & Thank you…the magick words.

But humans tend to forget and take these simple truths for granted while Spirit does not forget.

-When was the last time you felt deep gratitude for goodness in your life?

Leave a comment

-Does that mean we need to live in fear and be enslaved to Spirits or offerings?

-No.

But if we live with an open heart we would want to create and honor an environment of (inner & outer) Justice, Clarity and Peace to the best of our ability.

The Universal Laws.

The reason for humanity’s suffering is primarily because the Laws that were laid down as a foundation at the beginning of Time (Saturn) are unfortunately lost and forgotten.

The Universe and this Planet was Not a friendly place–it was actually very dangerous and unlivable–as other Planets seem to be at the moment.

What Changed?

The Creative Force(s) of this Universe decided that Laws needed to be established so humans, animals and an entire ecosystem could be functional, livable and beautiful.

Going back to mythology and cosmology of all cultures we find the Creation Story and this Story is always about an agreement between Spirit & Humans.

A Covenant.

This Covenant (Jupiter/Law) stated that we all need to co-exist with Love (Venus Urania) and Respect (Saturn) in an Ecosystem (Neptune) with the principles of Sun, Moon & Stars (Constellations) guiding our Consciousness.

In Communication.

In Harmony.

In Beauty.

So the First Law that was laid down was Love.

The second Law was our “Rent”, our Obligation on how to live here (be a good tenant), and this was Collaboration with the Spirit World for a higher Purpose.

To serve not our petty projections of Desire but to be of Service to the Bigger Picture, the greater Goal of Functioning Equally in Joy and Justice.

-Does that mean that we cannot pray for our human protection, fulfillment and happiness?

-We certainly can but caught in self fulfilling obsession can be destructive.

Parenthesis:

(This is the difference in the World of Magick, “High Magick” is considered to be when a person is utilizing the Power given to them for the Benefit of the Collective and “Low(er) or dark magic is when Humans are caught in the service of their individual desires; such as: give me this man or this woman, bind to me this and that etc. As I always say, the three things that dominate human consciousness are: money, sex and power).

And this is why our World is in Trouble–Spiritual Misconduct & Ignorance about it all.

1. Because the Universal Law of Love is not kept, taught or respected.

2. Because we did not pay “our Rent” which is to take care of the Earth–as a Collective.

(I will return on the concept of paying our dues to the Forces in a future essay).

Now.

I know that many of you are interested and excited to be of service. To learn, to create Community, to pray and take care of each other and the Earth.

And that is why we are here.

This is the reason why I am sharing all this in detail.

Not to feel guilty, not to feel inadequate, but to become aware of our ability to be Part, to be co-creators of this animate and Spirited Universe.

So we do not feel enslaved or helpless under Forces we do not understand, and to understand the Forces that are currently present.

The First Step.

I think I keep repeating this to my own detriment:

-Create an Altar.

Create an Altar which represents your desire to be in Communication with the True Source of Light.

The object is to approach with Peace & Respect, to understand Divine Order & Justice…

No one out there has the answers for us-everything is inside us and in our Relationship with the Universe.

In simple steps, think about your ancestry and lineage, think about what was Sacred to them? Chances are this Energy will show up for you as well.

And so set up your Altar:

Flowers

Water

Rocks

Plants

Fruit

Grain

Fire (candle or if you are outdoors)

Things vibrant & alive! Maybe a picture of your ancestors.

And set that up representing each Cardinal Direction.

Light your Candle and Sit. Close your Eyes and Breathe Deeply.

Tell me What Happens!

Our next Meditation Circle will take place on July 4th.

Weekly online Meditation starts July.

Dedicated to the Forces that hold this Point of Power & Hecate the threefold Goddess who lives on the Crossroads; -Your lessons are mighty, please help me Re-member.” -Sylvia’s notes.

The Study of just one tradition does not offer a complete picture but syncretism (studying several traditions and understanding the practice as a whole) does.

-Why did Humans have been communicating with the Spirit World by offerings & physical gifts?

-What is the Truth vs What we want to believe about this subject and How does it affect our lives?

-Are we even aware that our communication with the Spirit World or lack thereof actually affects our lives?

Why Offerings served as an (Astrology and other) Remediation?

Why did humans since the beginning of recorded history, felt that the practice of physical offerings and sacrifices was important and many times mandatory? Within the Communication with gods, the Spirit World and or Planets & Stars?

When the Forces or the Planetary placements felt very aggressive humans attempted to alleviate these aversive Forces by Communication and offerings.

What these offerings usually Constituted of?

In Ancient Greece the offerings were called Spondai or Choai (something that pours or flows down to the Earth). In particular Libations were liquid offerings, such as olive oil, myra (essential aromatic oils) wine, milk or blood.

Other offerings constituted of fruit, seeds, roots, living animals, ceremonially prepared food, honey and or Thysiai (sacrifice of living animals). When the sacrifice of animals took place their blood was offered and before offering their flesh (cooked or raw) there was divination practiced over the animal’s inner organs. That, was when the High Priest/ess would “read” the innards and determine a course of action or destiny of a situation.

In other words the sacrifice was a form of Divination (being read as an omen over the physical body of the animal) which would lead to observed conclusions towards the initially asked question.

The third type of offerings was the Votive or Anathema (achieving a rearrangement or sorting out)- which was a dedication related to an ancestral rather challenging situation or event that needed to be redeemed. Votive offerings were also fulfilling a vow or promise over a request or prayer. Sometimes this situation included the process of healing miasma (a term mentioned in the Bible to denote an ancestrally carried wound, crime or consequence of ill action) which affected the entire lineage. For example a miasma (an energy) would be formed when a murder took place within the family such as in the case of Cain, killing his brother Abel or a sister or mother being raped by a family member (incest).

For Healing.

In many Healing Temples such as the Asclepeion and Delphi the devotees would offer or place a terracotta/clay replica of the body part that needed to be healed and or alabaster bottles (phialion-vial) containing essential oils significant to the offering.

The practice of creating an Omioma (a replica) of what is the ask of the prayer-such as for example a limb that needed to be healed, a heart that was broken or a child that was desired to be conceived, a home that needed to be attained; This practice of creating a replica-I have observed to be common within almost all ancient religious traditions.

So the idea was:

Create the object and offer it to the Spirits as a form of Communication.

or/and

Create the Omioma/Statue of the Spirit themselves and pray to it as a form of contact.

The above ways speak to the fact that the visual was/is so important to enhance the experience of the devotee as in direct “presence” of the Energy or Force which they are invoking.

“Kat Eikonan kai Omiosin.”

The practice of creating Omioma-a replica has been initiated by the idea that the Creator themselves made humans-Genesis 1:26 “: Let us make human kind in our image after our likeness”.

Genesis 1:27: “so god created human after their own image, of their own likeness”.

With the words Eikon meaning Image and Omioma meaning replica.

So an example from Machu Picchu-Peru (around 600 years ago) of where the Incas build a representation/ replica of the mountain outside of each shrine as so to bring the energy of the mountain which they were invoking-closer to them.

Therefore the idea of replicating is an effort to represent and connect with the Energy of importance.

The name Hecate means-She who works from afar-the 100th fold. The asteroid Hecate was discovered in July 1968 and She is located between Mars & Jupiter. She is the goddess associated with Magick, dead Souls, Guardian of the underworld, the night, moon and intuition. She is popular as the Goddess of witches and pre-existed the classical Greek pantheon. Zeus and all other gods honored Hecate as the one who holds the Keys (opening), knifes (cutting) and wisdom of the underworld. She accepts offerings on a three-fold Crossroads.

The Element of Air-Incense-Always and Forever.

Throughout all cultures, traditions and Ceremonial practices the practice of burning herbs and incense has been a major one. In the book of the Orphic Hymns -a collection of about 87 poems/invocations to the Forces of Nature/Planets & Guardians (which was composed in ancient Greek about 2,200 years ago)-each hymn describes exactly the incense/herb or resin that is to be burned usually over charcoal to invoke the Energy called upon.

The same ceremonial burning of herbs and incense happens in Hindu/Sanskrit invocations of Shiva, Shakti and other deities.

The burning of frankincense and myrrh is recorded throughout the bible, Tibetan, Buddhist and Ancient Egyptian texts.

Ceremonial burning of sage and copal (resin) is considered to be purification and protection in rituals throughout the American Native peoples of North & South including the Amazonian jungle tribes.

Ceremonial burning of frankincense & myrrh is practiced in most today’s churches.

Therefore,

The element of purifying and creating a fragrant environment is a must on all offerings and ritual.

Why?

Because firstly is related to Vibration and secondly elevation of consciousness and thus attracting or calling the Energies who “rule” or respond to these herbs, plants and resins.

So first we clean our aura, then we raise the vibration and then we step forward to call the Forces we wish to communicate with.

And a detail that not many know is that the burning of incence and herbs as well as ritual cleansing and bathing was restricted only for Priests and Priestesses to practice or prescribe within most ancient traditions.

Such as the:

Pythia(s) Priestesses in the Temple of Delphi

Mamb’o (Priestess of African Vodoon)

Yalorisha (African diaspora religious Priestesses)

Shamans etc.

Because the communication with Spirits in such a “working/mediation way” was not something practiced by everyone.

And because the ancients held strongly that without the proper initiation or authority chaos could be easily unleashed upon the “land of the living”.

Question for contemplation: -Have you ever thought that the chaos we are experiencing at the moment has been created due to Spiritual misconduct, ignorance or lack of contact altogether?

Understanding the Concept of Offerings.

Does the Spirit World need our food and valuables in order to respond to us?

If one visits a modern Greek church they will see that a lot of gold, silver and precious gems are offered to the icons of Saints as (votives) petitions for miracles.

-Does Mother Mary really need our golden ring or a watch to perform a miracle-to mediate Her Mercy between the two Worlds from Spiritual to Physical?

First of all this act is what we call Magick- the mediation between the Physical and the world of Spirit in order to alter the course of events-to Change an otherwise destined or afflicted outcome.

The first assumption or symptom here is that there is an experience of suffering, an affliction in which we seek remediation for.

In other words we turn to the Spirit World in petition for alleviation of our human suffering.

And this has been happening throughout the entire human history.

We suffer and we ask for mercy…

The Forces.

On returning to our original question: -Does Mother Mary, Shiva, Hecate, Zeus or Venus need our material offerings of all kinds in order to respond to our prayers and come to our aid?

Parenthesis.

(The need for alleviation of human suffering is fundamentally the base which upon all religions have been created.

Then religion institutions were taken over by humans who abused power and used human suffering as the base of their profiteering and power over the people.

The same exact energy is found in the medical industry, profiteering over the demand of alleviating physical suffering.

On the legal and banking systems as well, profiteering over peoples need for protection and safety.

…and all of the above constitutes the Epitome of Corruption.)

Returning to the Forces.

Firstly the Forces of the Universe vary in Vibration-Yes, there is a hierarchy in the Spirit World. There are groups of Realms of Spirits-Legions of different dimensions, qualities and missions.

And here is where books could and have been written about this, but for now it is sufficient to say that the Forces are of different dimensions and qualities and the Ritual language or practice we use to communicate with the Forces will determine the response we will get.

So to answer the above question;

-No

Spirits do not need our material offerings-but our material offerings- by humans who choose to believe and engage in this practice-are a language deciphered by Spirit.

Is an effort to Connect to Spirt first by Vibration, from the density of the 3D world to the above.

The Language Deciphered by Spirit.

Our material offerings are a vibrational language.

Our material offerings are a recognition, an acknowledgment.

Our Offerings are an act of Gratitude for the Forces that hold this Universe friendly enough for it to be livable and Naturally beautiful.

Parenthesis:

(It is Humans who created hell in collaboration with low vibration Spirits-we inherited Paradise and created hell on Earth out of our own ignorance).

Our offerings are a communication that we received the message of Spirit-they are a “rendez vous”-an appointment in which we show up and do our part.

Our offerings are the Communion, the participation in the Universal mystery.

As the classical Greek saying: “Syn Athina kai Keira kinei” - meaning as you are calling goddess Athina, move your hands, take action and make something happen, show that you are willing to collaborate with the Forces that come to aid.

Because the Forces do have the Power…the Forces dictate the Universal Flow.

Abuse of Power & the Dark side.

The Traditions of Communicating with Spirit are as many as the peoples/cultures of this Planet Earth. All cultures without any exception have recorded a way of contacting or communicating with the Stars and the unseen World of Spirit.

Abuse happens when there is ignorance and ego, a blind disrespect of the Forces; ignorance on how the Spirit World functions. And then unpleasant surprises and simply malevolent Forces start manifesting.

And this is exactly the reason why there is ritual, protocol and ethics sourounding Spiritual Communication-for Protection and the avoidance of chaos and harm.

Where do things go Wrong?

As I mention to nearly each one of my essays the Forces that take individuals, communities and entire civilizations down are the unresolved qualities of the three first chakras;

Fear/Control.

Abusive Sexuality/Obsessive Pleasure seeking/addiction.

Greed & Power.

All the above are Plutonian qualities which percevered throughout the ages.

Religious and mystical texts aim and aspire to inspire a shift and transformation of those dark corruptive, unresolved characteristics coming from wounding, nevertheless achieving this has not always been possible.

When things go really wrong is when humans are using the Powers for selfish or outright malevolent reasons and are causing harm.

And this has exactly been the downfall of our system-ignorance and abuse of power-which happens both in small communities or entire institutions.

How is this Related with our Offerings?

-And precautions.

Offering a beautiful flower by the nearby stream to say thank you for goodness in your life or lighting a candle for guidance is the simplicity we can all practice to communicate with our guiding Spirits-is desirable and suggested.

Beyond this make sure that if you are interested in Spirit, Planetary or Ancestral Communication you will seek a knowledgable and safe human, Priest or Priestess to guide you-a linage of Work that resonates with you, your ancestry and your over all vibration.

Because the Spirit World it is not a joke and can bring your life upside down.

Lack of integrity, a tiny innocent mistake, stepping upon “powerful toes” can damage your entire life and sanity, emotions, sleep patterns and health; it can close all “apparent doors”.

And it all might come out of “left field”.

And then “Your Forever Love” -whatever you counted upon as your forever sanctuary might not be even possible anymore.

Because once we see we cannot unsee.

It is then that you realize that the Spirits of jealousy, greed and control are permeating everything at all times.

It is then that you understand that there is a real battle between Light & Darkness, good & evil and that protecting your own Essence is first and foremost.

Magick is not all “roses & candy” after all-or is it?

Picture of Prayer Candles taken by myself in an Athens Chapel-2019.

Know Thy Self.

The most important aspect of all practice is not to loose one’s sense of Self. As in all relations-It is very important especially in the Spirit World, to know your fundamental goodness. If you know you carry a good heart and clear mind-no Spiritual or other attacks can take you down. Although it might cause severe damage and take time to recover from.

Because, I am sad to say, these things happen on the Path. One might fly “immune” for a while but eventually the radar of “you are not questioning my authority” will catch up. And the challenge of it all is that there might not be a human ear available at that moment, simply because everyone is dealing with “casualties”.

So

Know Thy Self, the wisest advice ever given…can truly save your life.

Know your Fundamental Goodness & steer clear of all noise. Most people are looking out for their wallet and if one understands this simple truth you can clear all bitterness and thank god you are still alive and sane.

My advice is,

Do not look for Justice, just protect your Human heart and fundamental goodness. Justice is beyond us humans and only Time will show as in all stories ever told.

…and give an offering to say thank you…

Mars & the Concept of Sacrifice.

This is a subject I want to focus on a future essay as I truly believe that if we decipher this we are more likely to understand and heal human violence and war first within us and then within our intimate communities.

In my above shared essay I am not discussing the controversial subjects or ethics of animal or even human sacrifice-which falls under Mars and His Domain.

Happy Full Moon in Sagittarius the Archer to all!

*July 1st we return to our weekly Meditation online groups.

*July 4th we celebrate Women’s Circle after Moondance.

I took a minute to share some thoughts Live on other platforms and there, I learned a lot.

I learned that my gift is basically sharing astrology as a comprehensive and digestible subject, in a way in which both beginners and well studied astrology lovers can receive from, and I truly love this.

Feedback.

One important piece of feedback that I got was not to “assume” that everyone understands this highly symbolic language and to take the oportunity to explain it a bit deeper.

Simultaneously, we all know that people who are looking for certain deep knowledge they will search and find it-Not from AI but hopefully a human source.

So welcome to all.

I truly hope that you receive plenty from the work.

What is Happening with Pluto & Why are we Feeling like in Heavy Slow Motion?

(Some excerpts from my previous notes on Pluto edited and developed).

Pluto is the Greek god of the underworld. He holds the gate of the hades with his dog/monster Kerveros and the ancient Serpents.

From a syncretic point of view is important mentioning that in Vedic cosmology, Shiva Bhairava is depicted in a similar role, at the Gate with his dog over a mountain of sculls.

Pluto, Hades, Death…is a serious and heavy business.

The Process.

We live in a body, we are joyful, happy, sad, in love, heartbroken and back to joy again-we are on the rollercoaster called Life…

And then one Day we die, this body expires.

If we are lucky, we die peacefully on our bed with loved ones around, if not then as you know there is a plethora of brutal ways in which this physical body can cross over.

So what happens when we die?

Our eyes (sometimes) close or someone who is still alive does that for us.

And then…

I heard stories from people close to me who are not believers- yet they said they saw a Spirit leaving the body. For few minutes they had entered a trance as if helping to usher their loved one to the hands of the All Powerful One.

Yes, they said a Spirit left the body, something like a cloud and then…silence, coldness, nothingness, never again.

Hades comes, opens the Gate, the human goes through and then the Gate is shut closed.

We heard stories, we have myths, we had visions, some times we even converse with them and they offer us tremendous Wisdom, some saw Light at the End of a tunnel, we had people returning with experiences.

But!

We Truly do not know anything. Until we do.

-We do Not know Why & How and most do not know When.

But Death is the big boss of the Underworld-as Above so Below-there is a “boss’.

So…

Pluto holds a gruesome role in the Cycle of human Evolution as we know it, of which He holds tight and well.

Pluto & the Transfer of Power.

Unless Pluto gives a New memo, the Transfer of Power (in human ruling systems) has historically been within a period of 245 yrs max.

-What does this mean?

-It means that every super power that was ever prevalent in human history, somehow faded and gave way to a new one to take over-on the exact mark of about 245 years.

This constitutes of a Pluto return cycle.

The Roman emperors didn’t see it coming.

They thought that they would sink teeth into plundering and having people eaten by lions in an arena, forever.

The Greeks & the Egyptians before them, the same.

Yet the End did come.

Please bear in mind that the word “End” here, is not meant as an eschatological word. The End is very real for anything or anyone who has a physical body (structure Saturn) living organism, system etc.

Everything that is made of Matter has an End.

The End of a Pluto cycle or smaller cycles respectively, is part of our reality. Everything that is alive one day will die and this is the principle knowned here on planet Earth and in the entire Creation. Things always transform.

So unless Pluto changes his Mind or some other Force decides otherwise, we are not avoiding what is to come.

And what do I mean by that?

Our Country’s birthday on this upcoming 4th of July, 2026 marks the 250 years-one Pluto return.

And it seems like Pluto’s Cycles never fail on their appointment or reputation.

And just to be clear and not cryptic here: the question worth to be considered is the following:

-Will the next Transfer of Power be to another Country or Empire or will it be AI?

I will leave this question for my reader to answer but it is very obvious that we cannot avoid what is to come.

Which means:

Change

Transfer of Power

Reformation

New Way of Doing things.

New ways of finding Resources.

Pluto & the Upcoming Cycle.

So the reason why, even though this is the year of the galloping fire horse and Time has accelerated tremendously,

at this moment we are feeling heavy energy in our bodies is because

The Gatekeeper of the underworld is stationing retrograde tomorrow May 6th-October 15th 2026 in the sign of Aquarius-“We the People”.

As always the planetary movements affect us individually (we feel the energy one way or another) and on a Collective level (manifests in the News etc). So we experience this deep Energy, especially as Pluto who is the essence of all Human and Matter Power stations, becomes slow and powerful.

Pluto rules what is in the center of this Earth-what transforms from the bones of the ancestors to minerals and crystals to gold to fossil fuels and all resources.

Pluto “means” his name-which is-generational Wealth.

At the Same time as heavy as Pluto feels, his symbol is the Butterfly, the glorious short-lived medicine, a reminder that we need to enjoy this life and what is lovely in it for it’s short span.

The Role of Uranus.

Uranus-Ouranos-The “ano oron” according to Proclus (Neoplatonist Philosopher 5th Century). “Ano Oron” means the One who Looks up to the Starry Sky the infinite guidance, inspiration and awe-or the One Who is That-The Sky god.

This Ouranos is now on 00” in Gemini, what astrology calls the Hermes point. The point between Worlds.

Question to ponder upon:

-Is Hermes/Mercury the Psychopomp guiding us in between this World and the Underworld or between this World and the unbound World of Technology- This Time round?

-Well…is worth remembering that humanity has a never ending lust for adventure, things “get old fast”for humans in our short life…

So we will plunge.

The Role of Chiron.

On June 19th 2026 our beloved Centaur Chiron will hit the 00” Taurus point and will take us on a journey until 2034.

Many astrologer pointed at this as a time of “dealing with the wound of worth”, healing scarcity, and our inner wound regarding our body image or frankly possibly a time of fundamental Resources Scarcity for Humanity.

Nonetheless, Chiron in 00” Taurus, will offer us an opportunity to heal our relationship with the Earth and the agricultural system- there is and there will be a war over resources.

And that is where sci-fi movies come into mind-Will our lunch become a pill?

I hope not.

Hades-Pluto in the ancient Hierapolis/Sacred City.

This is indeed a heavy moment for humanity. We feel it, we taste it, we know deeply in our hearts-this is the Time we all have been anticipating.

Hang in tight, wherever you are and come join us in our weekly online Meditation. Message me for info and readings.

Have a meaningful and safe Pluto transit.

“The Power of Myth is a living, churning Force within our Psyche”…paraphrase, by Joseph Campbell -author of The Power of Myth.

Hear Ye Oh People!

What I am sharing here today has been sitting with me for a while and as you read on you might feel some resonance as well.

Even though the suggestion by all astrologers was and is to keep as quiet as we can at this Time-this is a very important moment to share Guidance and Inspiration.

Guidance and Inspiration from an authentic Source and Not-AI algorithm.

So!

Hear Ye and respond with impressions and questions.

Medusa may be my friend but I do not petrify people with my stare (at least not without a valid reason-laughter inserted here).

The Myth.

The Story goes that Medusa was an exquisitely beautiful priestess at Athenas temple. She was a gifted medium and a powerful woman. In the popular story Medusa was assaulted (raped-as this narrative is prevalent in various myths) in this case by Poseidon the god of the Sea.

Athina, Medusas Matron, got very upset and she decided to curse Medusa. She turned her into a Gorgon. A mythical creature who lives in water caves and kills men. Eventually all Gorgons-Mermaids or mythical creatures who sedused sailors only to have pleasure with them and then kill them-were named after the original Gorgon Medusa. And as you might guess this appeared to be an “appropriate revenge” against mr.Poseidon/Neptune-to kill his sailors who were seeking beautiful female company while in their long fogy days at the Ocean.

But I derail, back to our story, Athina turned Medusas hair into venomous snakes and Medusa was transformed into this mythical creature named Gorgon who killed all men who tried to approach her just by looking at them-She turned them into stone.

So in this case as in most mythical stories we need a brave hero to alleviate the area of this “monster” who kept killing men.

And

So

In most versions of the story, the hero Perseus was employed to kill Medusa and take her head back to the king of Seriphus who asked for it, for his own reasons.

Perseus who was a beloved Olympians child (kinda like a modern 007) received four special gadgets to kill Medusa.

He received a Mirror shield from Athena

Sandals with Gold Wings from Hermes (Mercury)

a sword from Hephaistus (metal/smith god) and

Hades’ (Plutos) helmet of Invisibility.

Which gifts, Perseus, used throughout his adventure.

Wow!

Perseus was quite well equipped, as any Spiritual warrior should be, don’t you think?

Mirror (to know thyself /reflect and deflect if needed)

Sandals with gold wings (to fly)

A sword (discernment and cutting )

And the most magical- a helmet of invisibility from Pluto (Hades himself).

You probably agree with me that Perseus was a powerhouse.

Yet!

Medusa was pregnant with Poseidons’ child.

And!

Besides all his tools Perseus simply used trickstery to kill Medusa.

He used the mirror (Athinas’ shield) to reflect back to Her (Medusa) her own power of petrifying (particularly) men.

Other versions of the story say that Perseus beheaded Medusa while looking at her reflection from the shield/mirror instead of looking at her directly.

When Medusa was beheaded with the sword, the magnificent winged horse-Pegasus-known as the epitome of all Imspiration for Art particularly poetry and Chrysanor a giant yielding a golden sword had sprang out of Medusas body.

The Creation of the Gorgoneion.

The scholar Jane Ellen Harrison explains that Medusas magical power as a protective shield-a Ceremonial object of protection, had gained power right at the moment of Her beheading. (author of -A Study of the Social Origins of Ancient Greek Religion and other works).

Medusas head became the Gorgoneion- a golden shield which Athina always and at a certain point even Zeus (Jupiter) wore at their chest as a shield (to protect their heart).

Is it possible that a pregnant woman who was raped and killed had such power?

How many times do we have to repeat the story that powerful, beautiful and charismatic women were “always” raped and assaulted in Greek mythology and tradition?

As I wrote in previous essays I refuse to accept this version of the story for many reasons but most importantly because I saw and experienced first hand how the story of Women and their/our Desire has been distorted throughout the entire history of humanity.

History, the educational system, society and religion basically told us that we are not allowed to have Desire or any choice whatsoever and to this very day we are fighting to get out of this mess…

And if “things happened” the Conceptions were either “immaculate” or the result of rape because literally, God forbid women had some pleasure in the Way of Creation!

But.

Goddess Athina with the Gorgoneion on Her chest (Medusas head).

Reading Between the Lines.

Athina was a goddess of Intellect (Element of Air) and was born out of the head of Zeus. In other words Athina was a Thought Form-of a god/Creator who could manifest with his Mind and Will. Athina although a goddess of War (unlike Aphrodite/Venus) was not born out of a violent incident but out of the creative Spark of the Intellect of Zeus.

Athena was the goddess of Wisdom, the manifestation of the sacred Feminine emanation out of Zeus’ intention- very similar to the Shekinah (in Kabbalah).

She was also a goddess of Hygeia ( reminding humanity that a healthy mind, lives in a healthy, therefore beautiful body).

Her animal was the Owl and She gave humanity the Olive tree, a symbol of Peace, Nourishment and Healing.

And again, although a goddess of war, Athina used her wisdom in a feminine way-unlike her brother Mars (Ares) She was “slow to anger”. So in other words it took a lot to get her angry but definitely would be wiser to avoid that together as Athenians knew very well.

In all stories, ancient and modern-

the Classic motto goes like this;

- Love the Goddess, take her flowers and beautiful offerings and She will Love you back! This notion is pretty much synonymous with happiness within most human Cultures.

Now!

Athena, along with Artemis (goddess of hunt, and Hestia goddess of the home and Temple hearth, were immune to Aphrodites/Venus “love sickness”.

The three above mention goddesses were known as the Vestal Virgins.

What is the significance of this?

Athena

Artemis

Hestia

were/are different stages or choices in a Woman’s Life. Athena was intellectual, she was a strategist and had an entire City to defend. She was her own fortress and belonged to no human or god for that matter.

Artemis (Jurema) loved wild animals and was helping hunters (and Caboclos/Spirits of the Forest) to hunt, learn the secrets of herbs and manage resources-provide for the Community.

And Hestia was the ever burning fire of the Home & Temple. The tranformative fire of cooking, nourishing, warmth, brightness, healing, to assist with the birth of children, heat water and purify the home, body and Spirit. The ever burning hearth of the Goddess.

These functions are All of the same One Sacred Feminine!

They are simply different moments or periods or choices within a woman’s (any humans) life cycle.

And, bear with me as we are coming to our point about Medusa and Who She Really Was?!

If we see the story from a Gestalt perspective (all parts being the one-all characters being parts of the one self)

Medusa was Athenas’ own Sexual desire which She herself chose to deny.

Athena chose to put her beautiful, seductive Gorgon self aside and actually kill it and transform it into power To Protect Her Heart. Athina chose to emanate her mission instead and transform her desire to Power.

Poseidon.

Poseidon the god of the ever sailing magnificent ocean, the god of wonders, magic and dream, the god of psychedelics and illusion wanted to seduce Athena. He desired her. But Athina being very faithful to her Intellectual Nature chose to say no to Poseidons seduction. Yes, maybe once she indulged, but then she saw how this would be Time wasting, Poseidon could seduce with wonders aimlessly, but She chose her mission according to her true Nature;

To be a warrior, an advocate of Justice and a diplomat. But She was not kind at all to Her own desire. She beheaded her own Desire and transformed it to powerful magick, a shield for her own heart.

She chose to do so within a beautiful mythology of gods and mortals mixed in the magic of drama and creation.

And because everything is energy, things and Entities were created out of her Choice.

The Shamanic Elements.

Athenas desire, personified and transformed while entailing all the Shamanic elements a spiritual warrior needs to possess in order to be victorious over seductive/time wasting illusions.

A mirror (tool that Athena held but originally a gift fromVenus coming from the very Source of Feminine Power).

A Sword of Intellect and discernment (metal symbolizing Masculine energy).

The flying sandals (motion at the right time).

And the most magical, a helmet of invisibility by Pluto-the ability to protect our mind and keep it immune from invasive thoughts and distractions or even blatant Spiritual attacks.

The poisonous snake hair (with poison being the domain of Venus) is about how sexuality has the potential of becoming toxic and life threatening. Sexuality suppressed or addictive becomes poison.

How many mythical stories are told about snakes and their medicine? First and foremost the Kundalini- the Life Force which lives in our second chakra-the Potential of all that we can Create.

A passion, any passion/addiction unruled can drag one for ever in the Piscean debths of Poseidon/Neptune exactly like a shipwrecked castaway.

Perseus.

If we agree that we are all the characters in this myth and all the characters are us, then who is Perseus? Perseus is the spiritual warrior who found himself in an adventure to face his one fears. The image that Perseus saw in the mirror shield was his own dark aspects, maybe deep anger for injustice and hardship, maybe a desire to prevail and succeed, maybe his deepest shame or terrors.

…So in this way if we truly understand Myth and become able to capture its infinite “mirror” (reflection) potential then we can receive the Treasures of ancient Knowledge. The gems of the Emerald Tablet (Emerald being sacred to Hermes Trismegistos- Emerald being the depths of the Ocean of Yemanja, recognized as Olokun ).

The Power of Transformation.

Athena & Medusas myth-because they undoubtedly travel together in our subconscious- as Medusa is simply an alter-ego of Athena, specifically the one who protects her heart;

Is about:

Desire

Choice

Transformation

This is Not a myth that is teaching to kill sexual desire;

or killing a pregnant woman.

Medusa was “pregnant”with potent desire which when redirected gave birth to Pegasus (the inspiration of all poetry) and Chrysanor (the golden sword of discernment judgment and mercy-which many trace as the origin of Excalibur). By Athenas decision to put aside her carnal desire (at least for this life-Time around (Saturn)- While Her sister Aphrodite/Venus did exactly the opposite and became the epitome of pleasure and seduction-Venus is the very own cycle of pro-Creation.

These Are all the same One being inside of Us.

All the choices, the Energies, all the decisions we are dealing with in Life at different points and aspects of our journey.

I could go on and in depth about Poseidon and his mermaids etc. But these are for a future essay as we have a lot to assimilate here.

After ages of the myth being told in a certain way, I refuse to accept that all Women in Greek myth were raped and assaulted, not because men weren't capable of doing that (and in many cases they did) but because Women had presence and the right to their own Desire.

Inquisitive Questions:

If we comprehend the Gestalt Nature of all Myth as the Akashic Record of human experience which we can relate to through the “Know Thyself” process.

Then;

-When are you Athena & when are you Medusa?

-When are you Poseidon/Neptune?

-When are you Perseus, the spiritual hero who beheaded with all the tools and a bit of trickstery?

-Who and what are we beheading at this time in our life and Why?

-When are you a Plutonian character that chooses to transform passions into power?

-When do you let the ocean of pleasure and wonder/ Venus & Poseidon take you?

Conclusion.

The truth is that, Myth is way more complex than our “commercialized” and domesticated mind can perceive.

Why are we talking about Medusa while in this New Moon and all the Planets in fiery Aries Energy?

Because the Powerful Force of deep longing and urge to Create is present at this moment.

And because there is an upcoming powerful alignment of this fixed Star (Algol/Medusa) which can be a fierce beheading. For more info on the specifics of this Planetary Election look at ‘s amazing work.

If you seek to protect your Sacred Heart from all Poisons, if you are not afraid to look deep into your dark side and finally shed Light and recognition, then make a prayer to Medusa and ask Her to assist as kind as possible.

-With caution because She is fierce!

This is a time of deep transformation. Our choices matter.

First I want to wish happy Easter to all who celebrate, Happy Eostara, Happy Passover, Happy Spring. My Greek friends will be celebrating on Sunday the 12th- “Kali Anastasi!”

The Spring equinox is considered to be the beginning of the Astrological Year. Ancient cultures who still follow this calendar such us the Babylonian and Persian, celebrate “Nowrus” (meaning a New Day) at this time of the Equinox; And (personally) this makes sense to me. It makes sense in alignment with the Nature Cycle and the physical body coming out of the darkness of Winter towards the Light of Spring.

I always found it so fascinating to explore the syncretic points of the Traditions because this made my Libra rising self feel that we can all truly fit on this palette of the Cosmos.

In this way it makes sense that we all in one way or another Celebrate the Return of the Sun in all its’ Names & forms. The One who Makes this World a warm and welcoming place.

And when I was thinking about Passover- Its’ all about the experience of crossing a narrow bridge in essence- Isn’t it?

And how many traditions honor their perseverance through pain and prosecution? Again-Spring and the Return of the Light makes sense!

On Perseverance.

Speaking on perseverance, It appears to me that the Human Experience is marked by crucial archetypal moments such as:

Finding one Self repetitively on the T of Crossroads

or

Crossing a narrow bridge or the dessert (the sense of lack of support)

or

The undeniable endings, when everything burns to the point that there is not even a recollection of what was

And

The uncertainty of a Completely unknown Path.

These Cycles that spin so fast (exactly as the Planets around the Sun) are connected with long dessert crossings alternating with moments of Joy, Happiness and Community.

These points on the Path, I got to experience recently in the past year of the Snake,

A year of profound initiation;

Which made me realize the deep and mystical Force of the ancient serpent- medicinal, poisonous and truly an achievement to survive out of.

Survival from such initiation implies the shedding of old skin and the realization of a new Self.

As I mentioned many times, my most profound Work is Empirical.

Yes! The above mentioned archetypal experiences have been mapped numerous times by philosophers, writers, poets, astrologers, but it is only when one arrives there that we recognize this “place” described by others.

And so, on the crossing of this narrow bridge I want us to take a moment here to recognize, How difficult these Times have been and are…

It seems that the intensity started by last October and is not letting up any time soon.

After this intense Pisces Season we might be finding ourselves thrown on an unknown shore, half drowned and grateful to be alive.

Yes, grateful to be alive.

This is a moment to be grateful for Life.

This Aries Season.

So the big talk in the Astrology world is how many Planets (and asteroids) will be consecrated at the beginning of the zodiac, in the House of Aries the Ram.

And just to get this right, check where is Aries house on your birth chart and where is Taurus as well, because while everyone will be hanging out in Aries, Venus the Lady of Beauty will be in Taurus forming nice connections with Jupiter in Cancer.

So!

The Astrology of a Crucial Moment.

Between April 16-17th we will experience the following Planets and conjunctions in the house of the fiery Ram.

Neptune (Poseidon/Shiva) will meet the psychopomp Mercury both exact in 2” Aries.

This moment is where something deep from our childhood can emerge. Like a voice of recognition and then affirmation of personal boundary. Something like:

“-This is who I am and I have the right to be and nobody will stop my progress or growth!”

The above is a statement of a two y/o (new in the process individual) who finally stand on their own feet and start becoming independent from a mother figure.

This can be any situation in Life, a moment of where independence is finally showing like the rays of the Sun at the end of the tunnel. It is dreamy, it is promising and is the complete unknown-and the advice here it is not to rush.

At the same time we have Sun and Moon meeting for a quick passionate kiss in 27” Aries-on fire. Is there time and energy to salvage what was or is it completely done?

Sun (the Ego) feels comfortable in Aries, fire loves fire, while the Moon (our feminine nature) might feel a little tormented and erased by so much fire, so close. When the Moon bathes in Fire it’s a time for purification rituals, such as sweat lodge or steam bath (use herbs, burn herbs, bathe in herbs, drink herbs that are cooling and calming). Notice your thoughts and your longing, are they coming from the child self or are they fitting the needs of the adult Self?

Same Day (still between April 16th-17th)

Battle loving Mars will be in 5”Aries bringing the hard lessons of War (on a personal and Collective level).

Unforgiving Lord of Karma, Saturn will be in 7” Aries, showing us our Spiritual limitations which we came with and through in this life time-Truth better than any lie.

And the tight indisputable twin of Eris in 25” & Chiron in 26” Aries asking us;

“-Is it ever possible to heal this wound of envy, of exclusion, of scarcity of betrayal,

Is it possible and if it is, show me how?!”

How would I describe this moment?

The cries for our wound to heal, the longing for resolution and Peace, lives in all Human hearts.

Alas the trauma can run so deep feeding endless conflict and war-plus not all human forms are really humane.

The Prayer.

As you all know, I do believe in prayer, all traditions/ prayers of Light, because prayer works. In other words when talking to the Creative Forces-they do listen!

So there is a a Catholic prayer to the Great Mother that I always like to change a little bit; the prayer goes as follows: “ To thee do we cry poor and banished children of Eve, to thee do we cry, please show onto us out of this Exile and be an advocate for us …so we may one day deserve etc etc”.

Well, I was never a fan of this prayer, my inner self did not want to see me as a poor and banished child swimming in tears and excommunicated-this probably happened way too many life times to keep repeating it, so that maybe if I plead enough one day I would worth goodness…

No!

My revolutionary warrior self did not see myself as that but rather One with the Great Mother, always basking in the rays of Her Light and goodness.

Yet!!!

I hereby attest that this will be a moment that we may feel as such. We may feel that a cruel and unforgiving Universe is pounding upon a “poor banished, rejected part of ourselves”. Or that the forces that are ruling this world are at the moment absolutely out of control and that this is a tyrannical Universe.

Because everything that is ever written in the Akashic records is all to be experienced by humans one way or another.

And so this is the moment of where the childhood wound might emerge.

The Gift of Aries the Ram.

Aries, (literally the Greek name of the god of War) the moment of the spark of Creation, brings the innermost core of self assertion.

It is the -I am, moment.

This can be good if it does not become dangerously sociopathic or leads to lack of empathy.

As I was sharing the other day on a live video, unfortunately humans (we) are not born with empathy.

Empathy is a learned sentiment/emotion.

Empathy is caring or being considerate for our fellow humans feelings and not just ourselves.

And that is not only applied to our lovers, partners or family.

But this is the moment to be considerate at least, if not loving to our fellow humans.

-Is this doable? Is it easy? Is it hard?

-If none of the above, empathy can be very simple!

Like the great Master said; “Do unto each other as you want to be done to you!”

Consideration simply means that if you are cranky in the morning and do not want people in your face before you have your coffee then you practice the same and you do not cross that boundary. Consideration means that when a person is working in challenging conditions you do not walk in and start telling them (dumping on them) everything that is in your mind let alone difficult and delicate subjects, rather you ask for permission and you plan a different time to talk about things.

And the list can go on and on.

Consideration if not empathy-We care how things land on others.

Empathy if not Love.

As Love is considered to be for our closest, at least human consideration is (I believe) a must.

Happy Aries Season!

Have you ever thought about how our daily minor or grand emotional reactions are related to Evolution? or How even the global crisis is related to ancient primal instincts which humans were not able to develop or resolve in favor of the Collective?

This energies of the dark primal instincts that were/are out of control (for humanity’s detriment) Nietzche called the “divine animal”.

In this essay I am sharing my own insights over the very painful process on dealing with deep primal emotions of my own and others.’ Because what remains in the dark and unseen will inevitably create a crisis in our lives and most importantly the way we deal with “it” will determine our clarity and peace of mind.

How are Emotions Related to Instincts?

Instant reaction to stimuli is a défense mechanism build in human nature for protection. Our body instantly reacts (as science dictates within 140-160 milliseconds).

The fastest reaction seems to be based on sound-hearing (Hail music, Venus & Neptune the Great). Then we have sight, smell, taste, touch and the perception which sometimes can be deceiving through optical illusion, mirrors, gravity etc.

Our entire body seems to be a sensory organ which adapted in order to protect us from real or perceived danger.

Emotions are related to instant physical reaction towards stimuli nevertheless they are a bit different than instant reactions.

It has been concluded that for one to avoid instant physical reaction, what is called “amygdala hijack” is good to wait between 10-20 seconds on reacting after certain stimuli. Also regarding social interactions it is suggested to take between 30 minutes to 2 hours to respond to a text and between 1-2 days for an email.

And this is what is acceptable and suggested as appropriate communication (Mercury) in a very busy world.

Communication in the ancient World was mostly about survival, in today's world it’s mostly about achievement and gain.

Instincts beyond Defenses-The Chakra System.

I find the ancient Hindu/Yogic system of the Chakras to be incredibly valuable on understanding how these Forces manifest in our lives.

At the same time keep in mind the Pyramid of Maslow (fundamental theory of human hierarchy of needs).

The first Chakra (color red) roots connected to the Earth, is about the ability to kill in order to live. The animalistic instincts of hunting, gathering, persevering over harsh environmental conditions; fear, and anger live in the first chakra which basically sums up the energy of a primitive Mars. In the first chakra is where our wounds of survival are stored.

This is the place of where a distorted Mars can start a fight or an entire war, this is where “crimes of passion” happen. Interestingly enough the sense of smell is related to the first chakra. Because in many cases smell can determine life or death.

Nascita de Venere-The Birth of Venus by Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli or Venus Anadyomene.

Venus Rising.

What happened in the Renaissance?

Why were there so many naked women portrayed in magnificent realistic Art work?

Because Beauty brings calm, Beauty softens the heart. Before Beauty awakens desire it melts aggression (a Mars out of bounds). So when people re-awakened to Beauty the hearts of angry generals, gladiators, hunters and warriors had a (historical) moment of softening.

Women’s natural Beauty was used as a shield to Collective and military aggression. This was not only about sexuality and reproduction. Beauty became the Remedy-the way out of the Dark ages of where women were burn on stake. Poetry, painting the study of the Stars, the longing to be one with Nature highlighted through the awakening of The Primavera (Synonymous with Artistic Spring of the Renaissance).

Venus together with the Moon rules the Second Chakra energy of water (primordial fluid, Pisces & Cancer). In the portal of the chakras, the second chakra governs our Emotions and it creates a body of soft pastel colors around us (auric field). E-motions are fluid, strong and constantly moving. Second chakra is related to the sense of taste hence we talk about feelings having a flavor (e.g. this was bittersweet, things went sour or this person was salty etc).

So Venus’s domain is the realm of emotions. Through Her presence She opens the Gate of experiencing Emotions.

Emotions are not bad or good, they are vehicles of Experience-it is the way we deal with these experiences that makes a difference. It is the way we react to emotions that can determine the chemistry in our brain. The rush of these waves are coming in taking over our physical and mental body. Emotions are Energies inhabiting our body in response to stimuli, memory, past experiences and most distinctively of our original wound. (Venus, Moon & Chiron).

So if a person had an experience of being physically attacked, chances are that they will go about their lives feeling constantly attacked. The same happens with ancestral trauma, if a person carries the trauma of betrayal chances are this will be showing up in several unresolved cycles in relationships.

And so these experiences are being held in our Auric field and affect our Emotions. Emotions which get stuck in the auric field can cause severe illness, depression and other forms of suffering; Exactly as stagnant water creates unwanted environment.

The Auric Field & Emotions.

According to Barbara Brennan ( a pioneer in the field and author of Hands of Light, Light Emerging and several other books on Energy Healing). The above image portrays a person with a healthy Emotional field. And in Brennan’s school of healing all students study how to see and work with the energetic body through step by step years of practice.

Images generated on the web based on Brennan’s and other healer’s work and documentation.

Emotion and Illness.

When we harbor unresolved feelings of anger, bitterness, hatred, gossip, greed and lust then our Energy field attracts invasive debris and eventually illness. A weak energy field, happens when our unresolved emotions and wounds resurface; At that moment we become vulnerable.

Mastery over Emotions, Planets & Ascended Masters.

What does it mean that Shiva is dancing with the Planets in Ecstasis?

What does it mean that Buddha sat with all the temptations but overcame?

What does it mean that the Christ overcame Death & had Victory over it?

In the case of all the ascended Masters it means that they overcame the Forces of Emotions-through the Gate of Venus and the Moon (the sacred feminine & water).

They did not fight Venus & the Moon as something evil but rather understood that we can go beyond being wrapped up and drown in our Emotions or wild human experiences.

When Venus entered their astral space nude and unapologetic they did not panic or shut Her down, they said: “ Welcome, let’s sit and Meditate, let us observe what comes up.”

It means that they have gained Mastery over Emotions.

In simple words ascended Masters are not beaten up relentlessly by the Forces or (Planetary energies) and Emotions as we humans are.

They were able to remain still over faced by injustice, ignorance and other lower vibration energies.

And this is the Power of the warrior-to know when to fight (Athena Palas).

And this does not mean intimidation, covert hatred or feelings of superiority- No it means STILLNESS.

-Is it humanly possible you might ask?

When the emotions are rushing waves, in a crazy world? When all kinds of chemicals of the external environment are affecting our chakra energy and all of our senses? Is it possible when our primal sense of existence is threatened or attacked?

-I do not have an answer for you.

But I have a thought;

-Awareness is better than ignorance, denial or lies.

Stand still and observe, this is my suggestion and objective.

Not to be heroic because that is another trap but for our own sanity- exactly as the Planets pause and everything else in Nature does. We need Time before we react, reject, shut down or cut off especially if we aspire to love.

And if nothing else to keep our energy field clear of the debris of drama and pain.

Warriors of Light and Peace?

Humans learn by experience and so we evolve. The ancient instincts of the people in the caves evolved to today's challenges: competition, technology, possessions but dark traits like greed and envy remain as deep rooted ancestral defenses.

“-Why does she have a circle of 10 people? I will destroy her because I want them all for myself, she is a threat to me, this is disrespectful”.

and the attack begins, the phone calls, the defamation and anything else that it takes to destroy someone that is considered to be a threat.

Sometimes a simple cut off will do- you are not of use to me anymore and the door is slammed closed.

Anything you say would be futile, the attack will continue happening and the dark forces will keep feeding off.

And many will support it, in their ignorance or not.

Is a choice to be made.

This is exactly the same energy which starts wars of greed and possession over resources.

This is the energy that suppress Growth and Life.

And it starts from unresolved emotional of trauma, scarcity and greed.

So betrayal lives on over Blessings, poison over goodness…

-These are the two sides of the Venus coin.

Power over Force.

Recently I was reading this amazing book by David R Hawkins, PhD,

Power vs Force: The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior.

It’s definitely one to invest time on, for those interested on understanding human behavior.

In his book Hawkins talks about the Power of Emotion as Vibrational Power. For example Courrage runs into a scale of 200 power, Love is 500, Beauty is the Gate to the Heart etc. So when a person vibrates higher in their Emotional state, they do not let anything or anyone drag them down with the lower emotions such as Fear, Guilt, Anger, Envy etc.

And this principle corresponds very accurately to what the ancients said, “a healthy mind lives in a healthy body”. Within that container an individual can shine and change the environment around them.

This book is also describing what happens when we carry unwavering Love as we go out in a distraught World-the One Person vibrating higher can change multiple groups of people if the one is able to maintain the Light within them.

And this is what Mastery of Emotions means.

And this is one (the first) Gate of Venus shifting the Energy all the way up to the Heart Portal.

Questions to Contemplate Upon:

-What are we going to do Now, in a Time that Natural Beauty is not enough to open peoples’ heart?

-What are we going to do at a Time of where resource scarcity is a real fear?

-What are we going to do with our disturbing cycles of wounded relationships?

-Are we going to continue applying the old defenses?

-What would be the first Emotion that you would like to have mastery upon (transform) into a healthier energy?

-How can we approach and work with Venus-the Guiding Star closest to humanity’s trials?

*See you on Wednesday, April 1st at 8:30pm on our online gathering-Chanting Mantra to work with the Goddess within. This is a Free event and open to all. Please contact me for info.

One of the most profound Mysteries I have been contemplating upon recently, is Time. (Oya/Saturn).

How time flows endlessly, like sand in an hourglass, like drops of water, like floating clouds or the turning of a wheel…Yet Time is Still and Eternal.

I gave it so much thought that I had moments in which I felt that Time stood Still as I was able to watch it flowing. Yet the day passed but I did not feel the Time.

Is a Mystery in which the Great Mother graced me with a glimpse upon.

Thank you Great Mother, Thank you Great Mystery!

Time.

Time is like a “double” current, the Alchemical principle of Volatile & Still, of Presence & Wind. Time is the Ometeotl (the Two that is One) & the Sacred Tantra-the Pillar of Light enveloped in the Vast Ocean. Time is the Fire with the burning wood as a fuel and upon the ashes of Time we build a Structure and another and another until the Great Mystery says- No More…

So Time runs while is still and it is only relevant to us humans as corrosion of the physical. As what has been born will die and what has a physical body will eventually dissolve.

At the Present Moment.

At the present moment we are at the end of this Cycle of Time.

Many of us might feel like a camel walking in the desert and supplies are running out;

Emotionally, physically, mentally, collectively, financially-everything is on stake.

The brutal and unnecessary wars, fueled by maniacal and ignorant humanoid leaders affect our entire Life Experience on this Earth. The waters, the animals, the food system our health is determined by Forces that are largely out of our control.

And all this feels absolutely brutal as it manifests both in our personal relationships and the Collective field.

Our roots of survival feel threatened.

-How did we come to a point that we have no saying over our own food?-which goes in our bodies, the water we drink and the medicine we need to heal?

-How did we come to the point that Nature and the farming system is not our priority, that lives of little children don't matter?

-How is it possible that we are only targets for consumerism with our own enthusiastic consent?

I could go on and on with these questions but think about it for a moment.

Think about Freedom and what does it mean to be Free?

-What does it mean to be Free within a Community-and the Community to be Free together!

-And are we actually capable of being Free?

What is Here & What is to Come?

On March 18th at 9:36 pm ET we will experience a New Moon in 28” Pisces. This the last round of a Closing Circle.

Pisces is the 12th house of the zodiacal and represents endings, 28” degrees and 27 minutes into the sign signify the anoretic degree of elimination.

This is the closing of all closings.

If we decide to go, we are gone forever, if we decide to stay we need to truly reconsider what it means to stay and honestly try to work it through.

This is critical karmic Time.

Leave a comment

What is to come is that when this critical cycle is over we will find ourselves again on the priorly mentioned desert crossing camel walk-What was, is not working anymore and we somehow have to make the New and unknown to work.

Because is not like the new and wide open is “a walk in the park” and we now are between a “rock and a hard place”.

So we will push through and cross this desert of a walk and when we get to July 26, 2026 the big anticipated moment of the Nodal axis change will take place.

-If I tell you that I live for that moment, I would not exaggerate. But this is actually an oxymoron because we cannot live for the future…but what I mean is, this can be considered as the Light at the End of this Tunnel.

Then!

The Power (Nodes of the Moon in collaboration with Pluto) will shift over, and there will be a huge moment of where all eyes will turn towards the Political Global drama. We will enter the point of where North Node will be in Aquarius and South Node in Leo.

Excruciating…

Because the Revolution of the People will begin. The people will try to destroy the system and Leo (which represents the leaders and insane emperors) will be on the downfall at this Time.

But here is the catch!

Both Nodes work in an Axis of 29”the critical degree of Elimination.

This signifies that both Parts, Aquarius (we the people) and Leo the authority will have severe and bloody losses.

In other words nobody is winning this brutal war.

This will go on until February 17th 2026, which will land us on a Solar Eclipse 28” Aquarius. The authority within “we the people” side will experience a dark moment of loss.

Continuing on August 12th 2026 a South Node Eclipse in Leo (a Total Lunar) will signify a critical loss possibly an elimination of a feminine leader and the consideration of the position of the feminine within the Collective will come to focus once again.

Share

So with this New Moon in Pisces we are ending a Cycle and jumping into a greater one in which the Collective Energy will take over.

We will be forced to jump from our little bubble of daily routine to a global emergency and possibly the entirety of survival will be on stake- more so than it is now.

All the while technology and AI bot life will be taking over out of any priorly imaginable point.

And if it all sounds Wild, Yes it will be!

What do I suggest?

Especially on a personal level; - What is within our control of choice!

While in this Piscean Lunation please, take a moment to listen-Truly listen to your loved ones.

Let them speak and listen.

Pisces fortunately is characterized with compassion vs Aquarius who tends to be cold and detached.

So let people speak to you before you cut them off. Because if the cycle closes there will be no returns. And this will be critical as we truly need all the support we can get for the rest to come.

If we don't let people speak then we miss the opportunity to learn something new, something we have not thought or heard before. If we are continuing to be closed and fixated into old ideas and fears then our entire system will be shaken and possibly break.

We need each other and if there is love there is a possibility of working things out.

On the other hand, if the decision has been made that all parts are moving forward apart, then this will be the ending of all endings.

End of the Cycle (Pisces) critical degree 28”, change of the Nodal axis on 29” and Eclipses. Let alone the Venus Retrograde, which will bring yet another crisis over our Love relationships and finances.

So!

Love

I know I might be sounding like a broken record;

But

Love

If we find the Love within and are able to move beyond threat and scarcity;

If we understand that this World needs all the support it can get then we will allow others to walk with us on the path while each one is doing our work.

We must show Compassion and Love-this is what deferentiate us from AI.

Nobody is threatening your work which is already well established and if someone asked you for time please take a moment before you act brutally.

We are all going through it.

We are all crossing a narrow bridge and if we see everything as a threat we are not going to be able to act with kindness.

Find your allies and work together being open to the possibilities of Creating Beauty together.

With New Eyes.

With all these happening is possible to loose meaning and hope for many, but think about the Magick of the Universe.

Think about the process of Transformation (the Plutonian butterfly).

Unfortunately history shows that as of now we were not able to collaborate with the Forces, because we have great lack of insight and a huge ego which blinds us on the path.

Keep hope and vision alive by being slower to react and in consequence put things into perspective. See with new eyes.

We have a very short time on this Earth lets’s at least make it worthwhile together.

Enjoy the simple pleasures in Life and remember the hour glass of Time.

*Wednesday, April 1st at 8:30pm ET our online chanting mantra Circle begins. This will be an upgrade of our Earthly Chakras. It is Free and open for all to join.

This week is a critical week of Life Changing decisions. We are on the crossroads and things cannot be ignored or surpassed.

We are all holding our breath awaiting to see where will we land.

But it only just started…

And because of this, I chose to share two incredible pieces from other writers that I greatly respect.

The first is by friend, Alchemist & astrologer on the Aries mythos and the Hero’s Journey. In the below attached essay you will find the clear stages of where we are at, alchemically, physically, emotionally and mentally. It is definitely a valuable read.

Enjoy.

The Hermetic Correspondent

Navigating the Aries Mythos

The Aries archetype, embodied in the epic quest for the Golden Fleece, offers more than a captivating tale from antiquity—it’s a map for personal growth and inner transformation. Drawing from the pedagogical function of myth, as Joseph Campbell described, we can use this story as a mirror to assess our own journeys toward wholeness. In the spirit of Ven…

The second publication is by:

a Greek speaking astrologer (Ismini say Hi if this is you on substack, thank you). Ismini wrote the best piece i read in a while about Venus in Aries. A true Greek voice vs ironed romantic or academic voices that have become so repetitive. Because Venus-like every other Energy is experienced best in her Land of origin. The difference is palpable and refreshing.

I dedicated some time to translate the excerpt from Greek to English below:

Venus in Aries.

The Trainer of demons, the goddess Aphrodite, the one called the goddess of beauty and love, now steps firmly into the sign of Aries. She received strength from her old uncle Saturn and Neptune by forming a conjunction with each one and now she has a mission to carry out:

“To Just Be Herself”.

…Ah, yes, Venus in Aries was called by the patriarchy, “fallen” (in detriment). Because, they say, she was unruly, warlike, disobedient, a spirit of contradiction, un-submissive like Ares the Velouchiote (a Greek revolutionary who was literally called Mars) and she may have been beautiful and desirable, but she didn’t pick up a fly on her sword. In other words, she was by no means the ideal mistress for anyone who dreams of having the eternal feminine by his side. Obedient, soft, malleable. What our culture characterizes as a “feminine model.”

But Greek mythology made it clear, explaining who Aphrodite really was, when it preserved the myth of her birth and spread it through the centuries. It was clearly stated in Hesiod’s Theogony, that the goddess Aphrodite was born amitor [i.e. without a mother], from the bloody foam that formed in the sea, when the genitals of the god Uranus fell into her (the seashore of Cyprus)

when his son Cronus allied himself with his mother Gaia and moved against his tyrant father. From such a violent act the goddess Aphrodite was born. She was not born from the pink egg of a unicorn, nor from the magic wand of a sweet fairy. She is born of war and yet at the same time, she is the one about whom the Orphic hymn says:

“Everything is from you, as you sustained the World and hold the three Fates, and you give birth to everything, whatever is in the sky and on the fruitful earth and on the sea and in the deep.” So this is Venus in Aries, ladies, gentlement and dear children. Un-submissive and dangerous, but only for those who want to define and subjugate her. Devoted to the end, however, for anyone who respects and honors her.

Until March 30, the goddess will transfer her martial energy and attempt to carry out her mission to the part of your chart ruled by Aries. So let her do her job unhindered.

by Ismini Karalis.

Few Notes by myself:

The above piece resonates so deeply, concerning Venus in Aries and for any other energy in Aries at the moment-for that mater. I could analyze every word of it but and the combativeness in which everything takes on in the house of the ram, is the fierce force we need to stand up on our own two feet. In Aries we receive the motivation. Sometimes it takes a person that you love, blatantly lying in front of your face to get you there, beyond the weakness and pain of loss, beyond the utter shock or surprise beyond the judgment and outrage beyond…

To the spark of your own Creative Moment which takes immense courage and force to exist.

Being a warrior is revered by many, but when the moment of battle comes is a different story.

The above piece also brings up themes of honoring and respecting the energies of which I talked about extensively in my essay below:

Lets’ find the core of that Spark of Creation and the new beginnings that Venus in Aries bring along with this Spring.

See you on April 1st Online for our weekly mantra chant. Please message me for details.

All human stories entail this aspect of becoming something else than innocent through life’s progression-and this is not simply maturity. This “other” process has stages and phases that vary from daily life inconveniences to full “poisoning” and dark night of the Soul moments. Some humans, (very few) remain innocent for ever, most become hardened and close the heart over time and through challenging experiences. Others are born with inclination to darkness as a second nature, because probably they had multiple such experiences within the wheel of incarnation. Others try to avoid the darkness at all cost, some are in complete denial about it and many have just accepted it as unavoidable part of Life.

The above described are mostly our defenses towards duality-we need a comprehensible “safe place” in our head, in order to exist. A place of where too much Truth all at once can be shocking to the system, to the point of no return.

What is then this Journey, from Light to Darkness and back?

In this essay I am sharing the patchwork of archetypal stories that describe this Journey in between Realms.

For this I give thanks to Mercury (currently rx in Pisces) the psychopomp for guiding humanity through the thresholds and for guarding the Paths.

-Thank you Mercury/Hermes the Great Alchemist.

My own experiences and insights within this alchemical process have been very valuable and provide the potential of guidance and healing through the treacherous path of the human experience.

The Original Myth.

As you may recall almost all the myths of the Masters entail a process of going from innocence to a dive in the darkness (dark night of the Soul or even to the extend of fighting demons) and then back to Light with an upgrade of Consciousness.

And the above is what we typically consider to be a part of Shamanic Initiation Stages.

The way to the underworld always comes with a risk-the risk of never returning to an “original sense of Self”. And this is terrifying to humans-because our sense of Self is seemingly all we have.

The first and foremost myth that comes to mind is the one of Lucifer the Eosforos (bringer of the Light of Dawn). In Biblical mythology the Eosforos has a profound role as the most beautiful ascended angel who fell off grace due to the wound of betrayal.

Lucifer the bringer of Light was the ultimate and beloved of the One-this Angel led the Legions of Light. But at a certain point he felt betrayed and decided to fight the One. The conflict was brewing in the Kingdom of Heaven so it was decided that Lucifer would be casted into Tartarus (another word for hell). With Lucifer remaining there, he is still planning his underworld revolution- and according to the story, this is the reason why humanity is suffering to this very day.

Because Eosforos the fallen angel claims the throne of The One known as god…

Of course there are many variations of this story and ironically enough a lot of Conflict around it.

…Some say (scholars and believers alike) that Lucifer is the King of “this realm” -named in mystical Kabbalah the Malkuth. The material kingdom, the realm of Pluto and Earthly desires/qualities of the first Three Chakras.

But/And…

In Greek Mythology.

In Greek mythology things change dramatically because Eosforos the most beautiful angel was considered to be Venus who had to visit the underworld and be a Morning Star (closest to Earth and humans) so She can transform her suffering of love, attachment, jealousy and all emotions. With Venus symbolizing human erotic love and sexuality things became more complex. With the story perceived in distorted way our sexuality became something that had to be banished in the lower realms and only be used for reproduction. Based on those ideas, Female Beauty and the right to Pleasure became largely ostracized to this very day. So gender and sexuality gave a different spin to the story of suffering.

The Buddha.

The story goes that Buddha was an innocent perfect prince who had everything he could ever imagine or ask for, but then he decided that this could not be real. So the Buddha decided to go out and expose himself to the “real world” and when he did that he realized that this World is full of suffering.

The Buddha had to come up with a solution about this relentless suffering which he chose not to accept as the only human reality-he had to come up with a different way. So he sat under a tree (this tree could symbolize Kabbalah tree of Life but also ancestral linage) and the rest is history…

In which Buddha did come up with the concepts of Meditation & Detachment. Observing one’s mind as a method towards alleviating suffering and even beyond, he came into understanding of how to help other beings, incarnate or discarnate to achieve enlightenment

…And this was a World altering moment.

Within this process the idea is that by focusing on observing the mind and illuminating all the dark/lower vibration thoughts (and emotions) we gain more freedom more spaciousness inside.

The Story of Yemaya.

Another beautiful story that comes to mind is the story of a Princess to be Queen named Osun (Osun is a great river in Africa). Oxum was pure and beautiful like crystalline waters but then She ventured out in the World. In her exploration she got hurt and polluted to the point of no return. She wept and wept and then a white Dove bearing a message from the Imperial of the realm- Oxala (Obatala) visited Her. The Dove said; - “Oxala has a gift for you to clean and heal” and the Dove took Her to Oxala the Father creator and he gave her Salt.

Salt an Alchemical Element.

Salt is to heal, purify and preserve. The amniotic fluid in our mother’s womb is water with minerals (salt) and feeds us for the entire gestation Cycle-(Pisces and the workings of the moon).

Osun (Oxum) then matured in Her initiation and now she had become Yemaya the Queen of all salty waters. In her journey from sweet to salty she saw the Worlds’ suffering and felt Compassion for the cries of Humanity-She rejected nobody…She took in Her Love, all beings.

And what She asked for in return- Was to Preserve the Memory of the Waters (DNA) and the oceanic worlds.

She asked for: Respect, Clean waters, Flower offerings and songs. Yemaya gave to Her children many wonders, from fish, to pearls, to shells, to bones, to salt, to wonderful colors, sailing waves. Her pacifying sound and healing breeze (with Her sister Oya-the Wind) majestic reflections of sunsets and moonsets, dreams, love, children, infinite…wonder.

But humans forgot and they were not paying attention anymore…

Human suffering plunged in darkness and ignored the wonders.

-Why?

-Is it because suffering is easier than accepting the simplicity of offering respect and flowers to the Ocean or believing that the Ocean is actually listening and responding back to us?!

Being in communion with the Elements entails responsibility and seeing our place in the Realm of Existence in this DNA thread that Pisces carries.

Honoring the Source of this Tradition.

So the story of the Yabas (Feminine Orixa- Mother Queens) represents the Forces of Nature and how they alchemize to bring the Opportunity of light and healing to humanity.

This way of “louvasao” that is; praising/honoring the Forces of Nature, Came to us in a very tragic way- through the African Ancestors that were brought to the Americas with the Slave Trade. The African Ancestors brought with them their deep love for the drum and multiple healing traditions of music and dance.

What I find absolutely amazing is that the Greek ancient tradition of the pantheon is deeply related to the African Orixa, Ifa and Yoruba traditions, especially in the way that the rituals are practiced.

Shiva.

Shiva is yet another majestic figure within the ascended Masters archetypal mythology. I spoke about Shiva many times as I feel that Shiva (Neptune) is my one and only true Love among the Sacred masculine pantheon.

So I always have a lot to say about him.

Shiva saw the process of helping Humanity not only within combining the alchemical elements-his first and one Love was a Woman/Fire who changed forms in several life times to always return to Him and their Union as Fire-the ancient Shakti.

But/and Shiva’s original teaching was about the Body- finding health, light, forgiveness and awareness through moving the Body within the frame of Yoga. And he gave to Humanity the recipe of 72 poses to achieve Yoga/Union with the Divine.

He also gave ecstatic Dance, the celebration of drumming and taught that everything is Meditation.

Shiva in his ecstatic Dance moved and transformed emotions, showing us the mastery over the tides (Venusian quality of the ocean and beauty of Ecstasis).

Coming back to the point of suffering and darkness, Shiva at a certain point decided to “drink the ocean of suffering -which was pure poison-for humans to have an opportunity to avoid that cup”.

So Shiva saw hope for Humanity within embodiment-hence he taught the practices of fasting, yoga, dancing and tantra as a form of Scared Union and the possibility of finding god within.

Shiva likes discipline and practice.

The Ritual.

All traditions without exception have a form of Ritual (Virgo-the Temple Priestess). Because ritual-the steps of moving through with decisive action and presenting the Earthly elements;

Is a way of bringing things from Vision (Dream-Neptune) down to Reality (Saturn).

So here are some simple Ritual Steps in brief:

*Setting up an altar to the Force (s) you are honoring-representing the alchemical elements.

*Present offerings or libations (liquid) or food, fruit and flowers as a recognition of Communication.

*Time election (choose the right time or date according to the tradition or event).

*Read, sing and dance the hymns in honor of this Force.

*Approach with respect, asking for permission and always give thanks-Do Not take the Forces for granted.

*Approach with the understanding that the Forces will respond in communication with the humans in ritual-in other words be prepared that you will get a response.

*Be-coming in Ecstatic Union with the Force, thus embodying some of its’ qualities and receiving the message one has communicated for. (This entails experience and usually the presence of an initiated teacher).

The above is the basic ancient recipe-since the beginning of Time that humans used to Communicate with Spirit on our path of Evolution.

And here I want to share a note: On a personal level for as long as I remember- I just felt an inner knowing of this process. So I started practicing ritual at about age twelve, with the onset of the menses-without anyone teaching me. I simply moved through the steps knowing exactly what to do, and it did not matter if people around me approved… I just knew I had to follow my inner guidance.

The Individual Wound-From Light to Darkness & Back.

This could be a part two of this essay but I want to share at least the basics on understanding our personal process.

We all start somehow innocent and this is the World point of 00’ of where Saturn just met Neptune in Aries (we will talk about the ram soon). So at this point of innocence the child starts with zero understanding of fear and with rather a lack of compassion because an infant is not aware of anyone else’s needs besides their own. Being aware of other’s needs happens later in life and later on the astrological chart rather placed in the 7th house stage.

So in this process, we start open and want to explore and jump head first to what is out there.

The Original Wound (s).

For some reason the original wound for Humanity is the wound of separation and loss. We are experiencing this illusion that we are separate and alone. And in many ways this can be true, as in our primal memory there exist all the ways we were attacked as a species or as a tribe.

The basic fear of annihilation which takes many forms, such as fear of separation, fear of loss of love, fear of loss of belonging, lack of human contact and connection.

The above reverberates in human evolutionary process in many ways.

In other words our wound evolves with us as we do.

From Light to the Darkness.

So on our way to bravely explore relationships and the World we get re-wounded, disappointed, hurt, attacked and in the passing of Time this can create long term effects. This is a typical example of cranky Saturn (Time) of when humans become numb, stubborn, depressed or bitter, basically poisoned by misfortune over time.

And this is what is causing aging!

A subject that I have been wanting to explore in a separate article.

The Trap.

The trap, is thinking that we are helpless victims in a brutal world, therefore giving up and getting stuck in the wound.

What happens when we thought that we “got over that old wound” (Chiron) but then all of a sudden we see it raising its ugly head once more.

The rejection of our mother, the abandonment of our father, the betrayal and indifference of a lover, the struggle of scarcity and the stifling of blessings.

What do we do then?

The Crossroads of The South Node.

At this moment I am explaining loud and clear that the points in your Life that the challenges happen are the Saturn return (every about 29 years) and when your Zodiac sign corresponds exactly with Nodal Axis especially the South Node.

And I am explaining further that we just had an Eclipse corresponding to the South Node.

This is it, the critical points in everyone’s life on the planet have been touched one way or another.

If we find our selves rigurgitate reemerging trauma then we know that the poison got us.

What I see for my self is that nothing ever disappears-everything is energy.

There is only up to a certain limit that a human can take inside.

We can try all we can to be the better person, we can try all we want to forgive or act with grace just because we want to avoid conflict but I have learned that everything has a limit. And when that limit is reached, things start breaking, and the break might be bad for ourselves and people around us-that deep the pain can be.

So

Know Thyself.

At this moment we all have many reasons to feel this way, on a personal and collective level.

Will we let things poison us to the point of no return?

Can we breakthrough to Gratitude for what we have? Thus raising the vibration yet again.

Can we return to the Light?

Most of the times its’ easier said than done and here we have our assignment.

As always, I travel and cook, meaning, I love to cook for Conscious groups all around the world whenever I am invited.

Cooking for conscious Communities in beautiful kitchens around the world, helps me ground and catch a breath-it offers me a sense of belonging. I feel happy and at home gathering around the universal hearth and this has been prevalent in my life for as long as I remember.

A Time of Evaluation.

As we tread on the path of Life, is interesting to observe what prevails. As you may find out, several times we plan a course of action but something completely different might emerge on the way.

This is the organic process/chemistry of Life.

And in my own organic process I realized that certain things prevailed (professionally and recreationally):

*Astrology

*Traveling

*Cooking

*Gathering for Spiritual activities & Ritual in Nature

*Music & dancing.

The above mentioned keeps providing me with rich, vibrant and unforgettable life experiences concentrated around the Cardinal/Shamanic Elements. This way of being is feeding my Soul in an effort to remain Human in a brutal World.

This does not mean that life has been perfect but its rather an indication of what I value…The grass is green where we water it (kind of thing) and this is visible or understood by “who is on top/ruler of our birth chart”.

Love from the Rain Forest Mountains of Lumiar- Aquas Crystalinas.

The aspect of Flow in Love and Career-Venus & Jupiter.

If we are going about Life trying to force things to happen instead of observing what is truly functioning and makes us happy then we feel blocked. Is like the horse (life Force-the Year of Fire Horse) trying to gallop towards one direction but we are forcing it to go on another because our human logic (affected by-sadly-algorithm, fear and trauma) is trying to do what is “right and acceptable”.

How it works on our Chart.

With Venus ruling my rising and Jupiter my midheaven, a stellium in my 9th house (Spiritual mission) and a stellium in the 11th house (life’s work)…

The two benefics are in action.

Venus brings Beauty, attraction, grace and desire; Jupiter brings expansion, travels, higher studies and the longing for Oneness with Spiritual mission.

*At the moment Jupiter is rx in his home domain of Cancer (oceanic consciousness-Moon Magic) bringing up themes of past developmental experiences.

What worked back then might not be working any more!

Jupiter will station direct by March 11th.

*At this moment Venus is exalted-operating in Her Strength in Pisces 15” and remaining in Pisces until March 6th. Venus is now visible as an evening Star on the West-Mother of the Waters- rising shortly after the setting Sun-and this is a great time to work with Venus.

-Go outdoors and look for/at Her, have a conversation with Her, speak your heart and give Her some offerings of appreciation.

-”Thank you Venus-guiding Star for all the Beauty I have in my Life, I recognize you, I acknowledge you, I appreciate you!”.

You can offer some flowers, incense, sweet water or other significant to you objects, or charms-this is one of the ways we Communicate with the Forces-to declare our alignment with Goodness and presence.

Think about how many things, energy and time we give willingly or unwillingly to Forces that are not really benevolent-and then think about Conscious Energy alignment.

-How does it look for you?

-Does it ring a bell of recognition or resonance?

Venus has been acknowledged as the Guiding Star/Estrella Guia or “Senora os navegantes”the Lady of the Navigators/sailors, people of the Sea-for ages.

And if you think about it, what do we really need at this turbulent Times that may help us navigate the wild waters of uncertainty and unpredictability?

We depend on each other! The “bad people” are not kept away from “the good people” we are all in the same pod-we are all affecting and are affected within the cauldron of transformation (Pluto). Unfortunately we cannot stay away in a bubble for too long, not willing to look at the poison that spills in our food, our communities, our relationships and our minds.

It is here, and what is seen cannot be unseen. And pretty much like a video game or a horror movie the “hijacked humanoids-taken by forces” are to be aware of-because these exist; and sooner or later will come upon our way.

If we want to know the Truth we will find it and then decisions will be imminent.

The Questions & Realizations of the Saturn-Neptune Conjunction.

The 00’ point Aries asks about complete separation and individuation-because Aries is clarifying the Truth about our own basic needs. No body can pretend or even try for too long to be all about service and “the Collective”.

Aries is the single cell of Individuation.

So:

-Can I go back to a place that my work is not appreciated or even recognized?

-Can I go back to a place that there is No growth anymore?

-Can I go back to a place that I am restricted and I cannot even offer my gifts or speak openly about what I see or experience just because the tyrannical frame of mind simply wants to disempower me?

-Can I keep going back if I am attacked or shut down?

-Can I keep going back simply because I am afraid of being ostracized?

And if I am on the T crossroads and is clear that I cannot go back-then Where do I go and How can a new Path be Forged?

(*Here I am clarifying that I specifically talk about spiritual belonging-but it can be applicable on any aspect of life-for many can be professional or relational).

A New Path needs Strength, it needs Conviction, it needs Blessings and Support and the realization that, "No Human is an Island”.

But many times the above is not available, at least in the form we expect it to be-and what do we do then?

In my experience if we keep ignoring our Truth the ending has the potential of being ugly. Endings are difficult anyway but a conscious ending is the best case scenario.

And the other thing I want to emphasize here is that sometimes even the longing for an honest conversation can lead to nowhere-because if one of the parts has no interest besides their own agenda or expired stories then we keep hitting a wall.

Example:

“-How can we collaborate? Are you interested in “utilizing” me and my gifts in your project, team or work?”

and the other part responds:

“-What gifts? You are supposed to be quiet and serve my plan and purpose”.

Here is pretty obvious that we are Not going anywhere and both parts have a choice to make.

If a situation starts “eating your Soul” then no matter how hard it is, it might be Time to let go.

Month of February-During & after the Aquarius Eclipse.

We the People.

February was such a potent month with Yemanja Celebration on the 2nd, Valentines on the 14th, Maha Shivatri on 15th-16th, an annular Solar Eclipse in Aquarius on the 17th, the 00’ Aries Conjunction of the giants Saturn & Neptune on the 20th and Carnaval Celebrations in Brazil, Greece and other countries.

The Planet is shaking with Celebration, Life Force & R e v o l u t i o n.

And if by any chance you feel apathetic, numb or immobilized that is normal too, it is part of these shocking and groundbreaking times.

There is so much I wanted to share but most importantly an overpowering realization that literally the entire Planet is dancing and celebrating except “the leading power” country. Because the leading power country-and not only-is suffering under the boot of dictatorship; and I will not go deeper into this at the moment.

There is no way one can believe that the entire Corruption of this World was written in one mans’ files- this is absurd! And how the photo of the faces of these humanoids are relentlessly promoted on the media?

-Did you notice that they try so hard to present soul-less humans as “normal” even likable? The media is brainwashing us to accept it as the status quo.

Or is it just a distraction?

But there were always Caligulas and Neros, since the beginning of Time.

Yet! everyone is buying into it.

-And are you surprised that renowned and powerful people even gurus have been involved.

I said it many times and I will say it again.

There is only three things that most humans fall for:

-Power (first-third chakra)

-Sex- pleasure (first-second chakra)

-Money (first-second-third chakras).

If one has no Soul or conscience then there is no limit.

This is pretty much it.

If we are not aware of how these Forces affect us all, then we are in for either exhaustion of giving our own Power away, confusion, ignorance and lack of ability to function properly and as a part of a group.

Know Thyself!

-Which Chakra needs your attention and Care?

The Upcoming Blood Moon Eclipse in Virgo.

On March 3rd at 6:34am-8:17am EST we will be able to witness a total Lunar Eclipse as Earth will pass between Sun & Moon and completely cover Sunlight thus cast a reddish shadow over the silver mirror of the Moon.

The power of the Earth (this 3D) will over cast the Light of the Sun ( energy of leaders and the Power of the red-root chakra) and reflect over a Full Moon aprox 12” and 54 minuts Virgo.

What is happening here?

This is about our roots.

All Planetary bodies are in their full expression, intensified in their process and journey.

The Light of the Sun (our will power and in extention political leadership ) covered by the Earth may represent this entire Planet’s resistance to Tyranny.

People and Nature are clearly saying: “enough is enough”, something needs to change regarding the leadership and governing systems. Because what we are experiencing now is not in accordance to the Universal Laws of Love, Respect & Order.

The Moon reflecting this reddish fiery Light is an expression of the Sacred Feminine energy of Kali the goddess of destruction.

Yes, at the moment we are dancing in the burning flames of pure intolerance from Spirit towards this tyrannical state of leadership, against the disrespect shown to Elements, Forces & Planets.

Kali is dancing in Her sacred “mania” of destruction and we are all feeling it. Things will not be restored unless She is acknowledged and recognized.

These are the laws and agreements of the Forces that hold the grid of Peace over this Planet. But unfortunately the humanoids in positions have no ears or any form of compassion.

The Virgo energy is about Sacred Feminine Sovereignty, the wisdom and knowledge of the Hermit (ascended masters & asteroids) our daily love and care for our nutrition, body and health. This means everything about Life on Earth and our collaboration with the Living Forces.

This Eclipse will occur near the fixed Star Spica (the left hip of the Maiden) which shines an energy of beauty, movement, support and benevolence within the Virgo Constellation.

And again we are dealing with “issues” of the Sacred Feminine and our relationship to it within ourselves and our loved ones.

If there are any physical pains and health challenges will be highlighted at this time.

What is ailing might intensely “pull our skirt” to get our attention, this is the time to handle our physical affairs.

The great conjunction of Saturn 🪐 Neptune 00’Aries. The point, spark ⚡️ of Creation & New Beginnings in the sign of the Self. Even if you have no sense of where you (we) are heading, One thing is Certain! -We cannot continue the old way. Nothing is possible of the old ways, on personal and collective level. And this can be a challenging moment, because there is no comfort to be found in old or new! This is ground breaking territory.

Comment

Here on this chart also you can see the conjunction of Athena Pallas (the asteroid) with the North node (of the Moon) both in Pieces 8”. Destined/destination-This is about your (our) Spiritual mission in Service to the Ocean of Evolution & Consciousness. Today there will be a decisive highlight moment-a breakthrough about our mission and the strategy of how to get there! Do the meditation, feel the energy and scribe down the steps. Every thing starts from the personal, everything begins from the moment of the insight, which happens when heart and mind are united.

“-The last illusion is our need to be Loved-drop that and you are finally Free!” Anonymous.

The above was a highlight that popped on my screen recently and really hit a spot in my psyche.

I found myself amidst a deep process in which I had asked to see what is the source of all  pain and conflict in human relationships.

In all my Spiritual studies, especially the practice of (family) or Relational Constellations, the need to belong is essential/rooted in the human experience.

And I had never questioned or went beyond that concept. Rather I was always working around it.

We need to be Loved and that is a normal, natural need of the human species and mammals. Scientific experiments show that both humans and mammals grow healthier and happier if we are touched with warmth and safety.

Even further, the “wild instinct” of attacking or being attacked brings upon a state of collapse.

Physical symptoms such as shaking, racing heartbeat and other erratic behavior derives from feeling attacked, either that is real or perceived.

And being attacked energetically, physically or verbally can break a person’s  auric field to detriment. It weakens the person’s Spiritually and also might create a downfall spiral in self confidence.

In other words we really need to feel safe to exist and grow.

The Astrology of It.

An “afflicted” Mars on a persons birth chart-meaning a challenging placement or a restricted Venus (choked or hindered)-signifies not only personal but generational trauma.

Also it depends where the personal Planets are and their placement/aspects with particularly Saturn (karma) and Pluto (Death).

As we discussed many times, our birth chart is the map of the Soul an Oracle and a Mandala.

Past lives of being attacked (verbally, physically, emotionally or  persecuted as a Soul group, all can be revealed within the Birth Chart.

The Pathological Need to be Loved.

So if we take a step back and get our ingrained (constant) suffering Self out of our own way, is possible that we may observe our cycles and patterns. But most difficult is to see what is not ours but we so faithfully carry.

And how  profoundly our personality character and defenses are based on the trauma of loss of love/life and the existential terror of “To live or not to live”. Specifically due to the evolutionary pattern based on fear, death and many life times of violence and brutality- (which signify an aggressive not Consecrated/uninitiated Mars).

And or a restricted “enslaved” Venus.

-And this is the history of humanity in a nutshell…

Is not per se about the “gender” as we understand it but the alchemical Law of :

“Make the volatile still and the still  into movement “.

In this way Life flows exactly like a river and there is N o t h i n g to hold on to! But our human existential terror turns into grabbing and grasping.

Therefore living in fear of loss of Love, loss of our life’s comforts and in the worst case scenario the fear of dying in suffering and alone.

But what the Masters taught is that, if we remember that we are One with the Source, there is Nothing to fear or grasp upon.

The Alchemy.

At this Time of extreme volatile movement of where all the Balance is lost;

“-Find the Light of your Soul and fight for It”!

The Light of your individual Soul which shines like a Star since the beginning of Time, with the Ancients (the Fixed Stars) is what will Guide you Home.

Do not listen or ingest the poison that is constantly presented to us in every other image in sleep and awake- of these humanoid, soul-less monstrosities.

Yes! Unfortunately is possible to have a human body but vacant of Soul therefore taking down hundreds and thousands of other Souls.

This is the source of Darkness, of ignorance, of absolute blind consumption.

The non-human needs to be illuminated and send to Spirit and the Work is Not for everyone!

Image generated on the Web.

But our Soul Work Is!!!

It is our responsibility to keep ourselves alive, joyful, warm, real, authentic, healthy and if possibly generous.

Contact with Nature is the Source, Nature is the Light that reminds us that we are One with the whole!

And Service —not out of pity or anger but out of genuine care.

We can find ways to make a difference!

Pick up garbage from a National Park, kindly educate people or children to sensitize on environmental subjects, put aside a meal for one who needs it or hear a story just to hold space.

Close your ears to the poison and open it to your True Light and Guidance.

Suffering indicates imbalance, in suffering you know you have to do something!

Quiet the heart and listen in order to receive the answers from within.

An Intense Week.

The Moon currently in Scorpio (until Feb 10th) will come into tension squares with all the Planets concentrated in Aquarius.  This brings about deep considerations regarding our relationships with groups and the Collective.

Questions such as:-What is my role here and how can i fit into the circle without betraying my own talents and personal path?

Also deep consideration of sexuality and finances-which are the Ways we share energy! -Is there currently something deep or are we just functioning to a basic mechanical level?

And again-reminding us that this Jupiter retrograde in Cancer brought up deep existential stuff within probably long distant travels in “past life” locations.

-Am I allowed to exist and live my full potential in a World that is in ruins?

If there was a Time the Time is Now!

The upcoming Eclipse.

On February 17th we will experience a Solar Eclipse (Dark/New Moon) in Aquarius-We the People. The latest degrees of a sign 28-29” tend to be about loss-and this is about rather karmic unavoidable change-a loss in the Collective in relation to Power.

On February 20th the historic meeting of Saturn & Neptune in 00” Aries will occur.

The last time this event happened was in 1702, while a previous meeting of the giants in 00” degrees happened 1989

In Capricorn and signified the falling of Berlin Wall-Collapse of Structure.

So between the 17th and 22nd of February we will experience life changing events both on personal and collective ends.

Stay strong, hopeful and Alert-Find your place in your Community and Collective!

*Announcement: On Saturday March 14th we are coming together for an overnight retreat and Celebration. Please Contact me if you would like to join us.

Warm Regards to All!

First this:

Friends asked how they can support this work?

Below are few simple ways:

The first way is: share the articles with friends that could truly use the guidance. This way the work lands in a place where is helpful and appreciated.

I never paywalled the work because  I feel that the mystical work of the Hermit (a human leading in darkness with a lamp in the Tarot symbology)-which is how I experience my work-is important that is available to all.

Second way: you can register for a monthly subscription which equals the amount of about two coffees a month.

Third way: you can book readings and experience the work for your self.

And last but not least we can organize Workshops together, all around the world-if the Forces align!

At this Time of relentless strife and cacophony, I feel that nothing is Free. Everything is energy; A sincere Thank you, from the heart, can bring the Energy of Abundance and Appreciation.

So Thank you all for your support!

Ok, returning to the present moment.

Jupiter Rx in Cancer-How does it feel?

Jupiter is at home in Caner. In his “cosmic twin energy” with Neptune, ruling the expansive consciousness of the beings of the Sea.

Every time that Jupiter is in retrograde motion in Cancer (the Crab ruled by the Moon & Water) I find my self yet one more time in the “throws” of long distance travels.

The Mercury in me loves short distance trips especially driving in scenic locations, sometimes restlessly.

While Jupiter the great (every-Thing) on top of my birth chart loves to throw me in airports, trains, boats in new or (retrograde/returning) familiar destinations.

Jupiter loves it grand!

And you know what is funny, this time around it truly felt as if I was on a T crossroads.

I could see, No way going forward, everything felt blocked. While I felt fixed and determined to run the cause.

Jupiter said-No! You can stay here but nothing will really happen; You can go right where obligation is or go left where the “learning/longing” is….(Jupiter rules and favors higher Spiritual studies and Life Path).

Good thing He gave me choices and did not drag me in it-as Uranus would do…But choice for Spirit mostly means; -“You are going and human responds, Yes, I am going.”

What we Value.

What we value, is in our second house (ruled by Taurus answering to Venus).

-Go check real quick, what/who is in your second house or if you want let’s read the chart together, you will get to know a lot more about your self and what you truly value.

And what we truly value is what we make of our lives!

What we truly value is what is in the heart and not in the mind.

What is tricky about it, is that many times the mind and body do not sync or agree!

Therefore in such cases we get the classic complaints.

For example:

-Why can I never be financially independent?

Or

-Even though I have all I need, why can’t I find Love?

-You know why?

-Simply because you do not make it a priority!

In other words what we prioritize shows and grows, what lies deep inside unrecognized, will not flourish!

I hope this insight rings a bell of truth within you so you can follow with decisive action soon.

But please note! Obsessive action is not a priority but rather insecurity…

Especially when Jupiter is retrograde.

In other words;

The grass is green where we water it, as popular wisdom dictates.

And I will add, that sometimes we don’t know where to water the grass-or there is No grass all together.

So what is truly important, escapes us completely.

And why is that?

Because we are not trained to be in tune with our whole being aka-our body rather we are brainwashed to follow what success is considered to be by others.

In other words we prioritize what others want and expect from us and completely neglect or might never encounter our true longing.

And guess what!

Comment

-What is our true longing?

-Our truest and deepest longing is to belong with Love.

Yes, you read that right, it is truly so simple.

Belonging with Love is what all humans truly desire.

Nevertheless, the irony here is that, “all roads lead to Damascus”!

Simply meaning that when we abandon ourselves for the World-we do it because we want others to love and accept us.

But!

When we truly cultivate self love and acceptance, real appreciation and honesty within our Self…

Then we truly provide ourselves a real shortcut.

Returning to the T Crossroads:

Love is in front of us, Love is Right, Love is Left, above and below-

And it is up to us to choose becoming It by prioritizing our True Longing.

What is your True Longing?

An Approach to Life.

For my entire life as someone with strong 10th and 11th zodiacal houses which signify a person who values Community, friendship, and embodies hostess qualities;

I have for as far as I remember, found my roots in Community, music around a hearth and good food.

I always believed that there is nothing we can’t resolve by a beautiful fire and a good home made meal.

And this approach to life always worked for me, no exceptions.

Yet!

The Wounded Self and Absurd Associations.

Also in my life as a person who listens to people’s stories (Chiron the wounded Healer) I found that always “deep down” in the hidden depths of the 8th house-Scorpio or 12th house-Pisces (dreams and Collective unconscious) many unbelievable stories are found.

Not only real stories of abuse that happened in childhood but stories that the mind carries through generations of unspoken trauma or outright attack and prosecution.

Yes, we are wounded beings.

And sometimes these unspoken/unknown wounds create belief systems that become unsurmountable obstacles.

These unspoken mind chatters and repetitions literally create very dysfunctional lives. And then we find ourselves deeply “swamped” in it, scratching our heads trying to figure out what we did wrong!

And it is through this experience of meeting people in the land of unspoken “insanity” (including my own crazy mind at times) where and why I decided to offer the Guidance I receive from Spirit to the Collective, with writing.

What Resonates.

In a world that every other Ig or tik tok account claims to have “conversations with god” , discretion is essential. Because I see that our modern oracle today is AI which sums up to years of human mind put together, chewed, digested and spat back to us again.

So I would suggest discretion regarding which hands you put your precious life in to.

If something deeply resonates within your body, if it brings you joy, happiness and hope then chances are you are on the right path.

Crazy Thoughts and Beliefs that Create Spiritual Bypass.

No my friend, you are not Christ or Buddha, if someone attacks you, you need to protect yourself with strong boundaries and in same cases ask for help. I do not suggest that if someone attacks you verbally or spiritually to fight back, but definitely do not become subservient to people who try to use you, dominate you or put you on any pedestal.

Remember, all we deeply want is to be loved! Do not take abuse as a passage to love. Drop and cut these associations and come home in your inner temple of Love!

-Don’t the abuser needs love? You might ask.

-Yes, they very much do…but send them to the Creator’s unconditional Love.

We are human and we have a physical body, a nervous system, fragility, memory and all that. We need our Human container and boundaries.

Jesus taught forgiveness, you might say…yes the Master of Light taught forgiveness-After you “salvage” your fragile self and forgive your own suffering then we can talk about forgiveness further.

In other words, what I am trying to emphasize here is to clear and dissolve this obsession with “otherness”. Any otherness! Love is Here and is in within us Now!

Not when your mother approves you, when your longed for lover decides is finally time to consider you, or when the world decides that you are successful!

I will stop sharing here, Jupiter will turn direct in mid-March 2026.

Meanwhile we are receiving the downloads of Aquarius Season!

Be well and see you soon!

So we are full on in Capricorn Season, right on the new Moon and we got a snow storm!

Oh I am so grateful for a snow day, a day that the roads are not plowed yet and snow is knee high. A day that the snow shine (Sun light) broke around 3pm and made everything look majestic. A day that we can stay home and enjoy this glorious beauty.

Snow is magical because it makes everything look peaceful, quiet and clean at least for a day or two. Snow is a force of nature.

Snow also has to be swept while is still “dust soft” and before it freezes with the upcoming low temperatures, so here I got my Capricornian assignment…

New Moon in Capricorn.

On Sunday, January 18th at 2:51pm EST takes place the first New Moon of the Calendar Year 2026. This is peak Capricorn Season of where Sun, Moon, Mercury -exactly conjuncts Mars in 25” degrees (and asteroids Juno and Pholus) are lined up in the Earthly house of the Sea Goat. Lady Venus (thankfully) just now (January 17th) moved into detached and worldly Aquarius. If nothing else Aquarius is a powerful and persevering leader; rain or shine they ll keep the flag up and they will go to lead the parade, feast or protest etc.

The aspects are rough and we are going through hard Times inside and out, above and below.

The name of the game is Revolution.

It is Here & it is Now.

But before I go to that let me share this brief and precious Zodiac House Analysis. This will help refresh our understanding over our chart and life cycles.

Zodiakon (Greek) means the procession of living beings or animals.

Planetary Movements & Astrological Houses.

The Planets (of this Solar system) revolve around the Sun (with mathematical accuracy for approximately 4.6 billion years. Within these patters (of movement) some bodies are in perigee-close to the Earth and some in apogee-furthest from the Earth. So in this movement the Planets meet the (points/pontos) of Zodiacal houses of where the Consciousness of human development lives.

So as the Planets travel in groups and we say-Now we are in Capricorn Season-think about what it means for your Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus etc to Be hosted in the House of Capricorn. Think about the House of Capricorn ruled by Saturn-not a human that is a Capricorn but the Energy of Saturn as a host with his Seagoat.

So in these days we are in Saturn’s home, hosted by one of his expressions which is Capricorn! So according to who is “coming and going” in this house, the interactions and where we are at, you pretty much get an idea why we feel the way we do.

And in this procession (traveling through) the zodiacal there are obviously houses that we feel more comfortable in and want to hang out, while others we would rather run away from instantly.

And this is the Journey.

Astrological Houses & the Evolution of Consciousness.

The Zodiacal Houses are twelve (like twelve disciples, twelve hours etc) and they are associated with Human development as follows:

First House: Aries the Ram.

Element Fire, ruled by Mars. The Spark of Creation, the pioneer, inventor and restless warrior/hero. The House of the Self-how we Start Life. Shadow-fiery temper, jumping head first. A Cardinal Sign. (The joke about Aries-What do you mean the race did not start yet?!-while they are in the finishing line).

Second House: Taurus the Bull.

Element Earth, ruled by Venus. Value, Money (systems) Beauty, Nurturing, music, relationship with earth and agriculture, possessions. Survival-how we live on Earth. Shadow-difficulty moving forward from what is familiar. A Fixed Sign. (The joke about Taurus-This was my bread, I bought it but we can split the bill.

Planets Evolutionary Consciousness & the Spirit World.

-Is this who we are bound to be? you might ask with laughter.

-No we are not limited or confined to be “only” these characteristics. But these are defenses we tend to develop on our Journey to survival. Plus we mix and match. We all have all of it on our chart just some energies are stronger (more familiar) than others.

It is in mythology that we find the answers about how the relationship between Planets and Humans developed. As both Planets and humans revolved around the Sun. And is worth remembering that we began by not being so friendly. The Universe and earth was an aggressive/brutal place to be (not that is way better now). But on the way we got to “know” each other through the interactions between Humans and the Spirit World.

-Were humans always able to “see” and interact with Spirits?

-I do not know the exact answer on this and I will not undertake the case to convince the reader that humans, in the past were more adept into Spirit Communication.

But!

What I will say and fully support is that the ancients were more interested on the concept of Communicating with Spirits and the non Human World.

History, art and mythology show how important this aspect was for our ancestors. Not only out of reverence, curiosity, excitement, exploration and survival but most importantly for the need to belong. The need to be part of a Living Universe (I believe) was the moving Force that guided people to Spirit Communication/Invocation/Ritual and prayer.

A desire to be and co-create with what is “out there”.

I personally feel that as we evolved and changed this desire and dedication is rare to find at the moment, although the need for belonging lives in all of us.

Capricorn Season the Gift and the Challenge.

Going back to the zodiacal chart:

The house of Self, house of belongings, house of learning and siblings, house of home and family, house of pleasure and leadership, house of health and work, house of relationship, commitment, money, house of higher studies and spirituality…we clearly see the developmental story of Life on Earth but also the development of the Collective in generational and Political Power Structure.

And so on the tenth House-we arrive at the House of Saturn. A place that we are generally older (expected to be more accomplished) in love and finances, in family and home ownership- this is the Social expectation projected on the tenth house- which is Success.

As we all know no life is perfect or ideal and if a life seems to be checking all the points is probably not real.

Yet what I want to emphasize here is the developmental aspect.

-How do we grow on the way? How do we grow on the zodiacal Path?

And to go even further, this is how Evolution occurs for both Human kind and Planetary Bodies. And who holds the Firmament (The Ancients of the Days-Are the Fixed Stars-The Wise Ones).

So on our way spinning around the Sun with and under the Light and Consciousness of the Luminaries, we grow. Exactly as physical travel, if we have been around the bend several times then we get to become an adept traveler.

And every round has different challenges.

Here is also important to remember that Saturn the ancient Cronus, was not friendly to anyone particularly to his children. Mythology explains that Saturn decided to swallow his children because he did not want the rivalry or to be overthrown by them.

This is a Saturnian subject-this is the grasp over Matter and Power-and an ancient human struggle. Of course Saturns’ children found a way to persevere with the help of goddess Rhea-the Mother-Jupiter was saved and eventually came to Power.

Then Jupiter himself did not really had much appreciation of humans and he punished Prometheus for stealing the Fire and giving it to humans.

And Fire-the Element of the Divine Spark-was the beginning of Evolution for humans!

Then after that, Jupiter slowly but steadily changed his attitude towards humans, he grew to love humans and become more benevolent towards humanity-and of course again women and beauty had to do something with his heart opening.

Nevertheless, if read between the lines of mythology one can clearly see the theme of Evolution revolving around Love, Light, Warmth, Beauty and Collaboration. So humanity along with the Planets moved from a primal place of savageness and darkness to an open Heart of where everything was possible.

A place of where a Sun god like Apollo on his chariot came to bring Healing, Love and Forgiveness upon humanity.

And this is where the idea of a Savior was begotten!

-A savior from what?

-A savior from the brutal forces of the undeveloped darkness. Of here the Law of Love was absent.

The agreement of the Law of Love-which in every story required a sacrifice-and I will talk about this subject on a future essay-

So when the Law of Love was established then Humanity gained Hope.

-Why I am I writing about this now?

-Because we are in danger of completely loosing the Law of Love and Ancient Agreements known as Covenant between humans & Spirit-and similar concepts can be found in all Cultures!

We are in a place of jeopardizing the ancient Law of Order & Love upon this Universe. Almost like re-entering the dark Ages.

-And why is that?

-The main reason is that we let leaders who have no knowledge or interest about the Law of Kindness, Love and Belonging to take over this entire Planet.

And this is where we are.

And returning to the beginning of this essay, this is why Life on this Planet at the moment feels brutal.

But/and people are in the streets everywhere and this was always the way in entire human history.

The Roman’s where crucifying young and capable men or threw both men and women in the arenas because they held the possibility of Revolution but they also killed people for entertainment.

-Did things change much since then?

-Are the slaves free and did we find a way to co-exist and belong with kindness?

It certainly doesn't look like we did.

We had moments of Renaissance but even that had a specific color and was not equal for all beings on Earth.

So!

As I wrote pretty much in every essay I ever shared-Humanity struggles with Power.

Remember Saturn swallowing his children so they do not over power him?

-Where is the beginning and the end of Power?

To the above question only Pluto has the answer.

Transfer of Power with a Blessing.

But what I wanted to talk about here is the transfer of Power within an individual and collective level.

-Does the elder (leader) give the blessing to a younger and talented person who is qualified and capable for the job or does the elder feel threatened and steps over the new budding seed to crush it?

This is how tyranny is perpetuated. Especially because the younger person probably comes with dedication, enthusiasm, new and much needed answers and ideas.

-You were once the revolutionary-will you now crush the new generation who is about the take the baton to run this race?

-Or will you give your blessing… have a beautiful Conversation, create mutual respect rules and agreement of Collaboration which all must abide by?

In my opinion it all starts from the Community and then reverberates to the greater Collective.

And as I love to say, there is almost nothing that cannot be settled over a nice meal and good sincere intentions.

This is the Time:

During this Time we are initiating important Cycles and Collaborations.

-Who is our team (Aquarius-we the people) can be very crucial.
