Following my morning meditation with my balcony garden and morning glories, I had a conversation on FB about falling in love with God. I thought of Rumi, who frequently referred to God as the Lover.
I have a wonderful book called Love Poems To God with poetry by Rumi,, Rabia, Mira, Hafiz, Kabir, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Theresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart And St. Francis I’d Assisi. Which reminded me of one of my all time favorite movies which my parents took me to the drive in to see back in the Seventies.
And here it is, in case you haven’t seen it and may be interested. Franco Zeffirelli is the director, and his version of Romeo and Juliet is another of my all time favorite movies.
And also here is a picture of my morning glories. And while being so busy I will post the Kaypacha summary every other week, to correspond with new moons and full moons and of course eclipses and equinoxes and wand solstices.
Anyway, we have entered the Lion’s Gate until August 8, incoming energies are intense and Venus in Cancer opposite the Galactic Center is affecting us all. Keep your seatbelts fastened, take a day off from the news, or at least most of the day, connect with Nature, drink lots of water get some kind of exercise, and look for the truth within, for all the answers are within. As without so within. And vice versa.
A mantra I enjoy and learned from Rainbow people goes like this, “I will be gentle with myself, I will take care of myself. I am a Child of the Universe. Being born every moment.”
We are birthing ourselves into a higher expression, a higher frequency than we ever have before. Those resisting these incoming energies demonstrate great confusion and other signs of mental illness as they wish to continue a path of destruction and war. But we are many, and we are one human family, and we know we must take care of ourselves, each other and our planet. It’s not our differences that matter. It’s the many ways we are alike.
Namaste, my friends. A’ho Mitakuye Oyasin. Ubuntu.
I worship the sun and the moon
and all that is sacred,
whichever you choose to
call that which is Divine.
I honor both the Divine Feminine
And the Divine Masculine,
And see the synchronicity
of both emerging,
but after so many
millennia
with the scales tipped
too far, too far
from justice, the
scales must swing
in a motherly direction
before balance
can be restored.
These are the days of
the goddess rising.
Hecate, Kali, Persephone,
Demeter.
There has been so much going on that one day’s worth of activities are taking 2-3 days, but healing is happening! This week Kaypacha is back home in Costa Rica, and gives us sound advice for the upcoming incredibly intense Thunder Moon, our Full Moon in Capricorn on July 09. My own Mercury is in Cancer and my Pluto is in Capricorn, so I am feeling these energies and they are invigorating me, but my tendency is to become too excited when doing big projects, and then I overdo. Lifelong dance with Trickster.
Anyway, the Moon was in Sagittarius on Wednesday when the report was filmed, but moved on into Capricorn today. So the Moon will be conjunct Pluto in Capricorn opposing the Sun, Mercury and Mars all hanging out in sensitive Cancer.
Mars at 21, 22, 23 degrees Cancer is in a Yod with Saturn and the South Node of the Moon in Aquarius. Saturn is in Sagittarius, South Node of the Moon is in Aquarius, so we have a Sagitarrius-Aquarius sextile, and Mars is coming up to square it. Mars in Cancer is lazy – we want to take baths, pamper ourselves. Cancer is all about the home, the inner child. July is a great month for baking, barbecues, inviting friends over for celebrations – and then there is the clean up, which we may not feel like doing. (I have OCD, so, I get the clean up done, but we have had a lovely family celebration on the 4th).
Wednesday the Sun was square Jupiter in Libra – something which is bringing more, more, more and more. There’s a lot going on with all of us! We’re awakening, building the new world. Kaypacha offers the great advice to fine tune our gifts, develop our businesses, set our price, and detach ourselves from the system. Ecocommunities with sustainable permaculture – off the grid – and we create the new world, we creatively make a change. Of course, we have to pay the rent, have food, have transportation, upgrade the computer – there are always steps to moving forward. It can be a bit demanding, and that’s where we come to the defunct system.
It’s time to change the system. Looking at the bigger overall pictures – the Yod with Mars has to do with negative aspects or elements of society, which we need to look at, see, and address, and Saturn in Sagittarius has a new plan so that we don’t make the mistakes of our forefathers who have not met the needs of humanity.
Just like the Federal Reserve. It is an entity all of its own – yet as soon as it prints money, the government becomes more in debt. And the loans provide other loans, on and on, increasing the debt all the time. The movie Zeitgeist and its addendum are both excellent sources of information about the system and how messed up it is.
The Rothschilds, Koch brothers, and the other top elite are the ones who own a majority of the planet,and its time to stop feeding into their system.
He talks about visiting his sister up in Vancouver, who practices permaculture and has fresh reaspberries and a great vegetable garden and barely has to go shopping at all, and he goes back to Costa Rica and lives in a community that practices permaculture.
All in all, we want to feel secure, and these are not secure times. So it’s so important remain centered – the Full Moon in Capricorn has a lot to do with the crazy things going on in government. There is a lot of greed and self interest, yet those of os awakening know that we have to plant the seeds. We can’t just pretend everything is going to be okay if we just put our rose colored glasses and go from festival to festival, doing our happy dancing – we have to do the work together and create the new world community by community.
The intensity of the energy is only going to increase until the great solar eclipse in Leo in August, which is going to just be beyond comprehension.
The Full Moon in Capricon is telling us to get our butts out there – the soul groups – Pluto in Capricorn – 57 – 72 and Pluto in Scorpio 84-96.
The broken system makes people sick. They are overworked and drained, and seek alcohol drugs and other things to numb themselves. Those born in Pluto in Capricorn are a whole generation of healers (I am one too), and the Pluto in Scorpio are the Shamans and the therapists, here to help people resurrect themselves. These soul groups will be helping bringing in the Age of the Aquarius by focusing in on our gifts – dance, yoga, massage, aromatherapy, crystal therapy, whatever it is that you’re good at, and when we do this we will pull people out of their cubicles. And join the new communities, planting gardens, healing ourselves and sharing our gifts with each other.
He also brings up the awesome movie Dr. Strange, which explores parallel universes – and it is such a great analogy to what’s going on in this world – we can open up people to alternative view points and ways of looking at the world, alternative lifestyles, and show the people who are dying from living by the rules of the sick sick system will see this healing and will begin creating too. We can create positive ripples, folks (He is so excited and speaks quickly and says way much more than this and I also just add a little bit here and there because this excites me a lot), and as we pull away from the system, the system will just collapse all by itself. So let’s get creative, move into roles of leadership and healing and we don’t have to worry about violence and rebellion.
This week’s mantra: It’s time to change the system, come up with a whole new plan, that starts with me being able to see into the future of man.
Self development. Opening the awakening. Developing the creative potential. Offering it to our brothers. attracting it to our brothers and sisters away from the death defying throes of the system – some day – these seeds are going to grow into the Golden Garden of man – just like Joni Mitchell sang and Crosby, Stills and Nash sang, “got to get us back to the Garden.”
This was one of the best ever. He just gets better and better at explaining what’s going on in the stars (and I am learning more about it by watching and it and also by typing these summaries).
Pondering on the dream I had almost two years ago, about all the masters, saints, avatars, wise ones, earth angels and boddhisatvas were gathered on a high flat mountain plateau like the one in Taos. The air itself was golden and a loud voice declared, “Ho, Dragon Slayers. The time has come to cease slaying the Dragon. You are all now to be Dragon Tamers. And all the keys will be found in the ancient texts, myths, holy books,songs and stories of all times.
For we are the writers of this epic human story, and it is huge. The whole Universe has been joyously awaiting our ascension into the Golden Age.
Even children’s books and fairy tales hold the keys. The Chronicles of Narnia give keys to dealing with planetary transformation, and also sacrifice, overcoming the deep dark secrets of magic through innocence and surrender, only to achieve resurrection, overturning the ancient dark secrets with the older magic of LOVE. Aslan, for C.S. Lewis, represents Jesus Christ. But also God, the creator of Narnia, and also providing the doorway into the new world when corruption brings Narnia to its demise. And the paradise he takes Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan is far more real and beautiful than either Narnia or Earth could ever be. “Farther up and further in!” Asian joyously sings as he leads his beloved children to their true home. Of course all their loved ones are there, for they have crossed over the rainbow bridge through a dirty stable door. Things are not always as they seem. The false prophet, an ape disguised as Aslan, is the one who brought war and corruption across the land. Perhaps Lewis was also prophetic, for there certainly are familiar themes in American politics (and other countries as well) going on today.
The two other books coming to my mind currently, containing golden keys to taming the Dragon are Heidi and The Secret Garden. Both stories emphasize the healing power of Nature. Both Heidi and Mary Collins from The Secret Garden lose their mothers at an early age. Mary also loses her father. Both are sent to live with relatives. Both have issues at first with their new homes, but after spending time out in Nature, each with a friend who guides them (Peter the goat herd in Heidi, and Dickon, the animal and nature loving brother of Martha, Mary’s nurse maid in The Secret Garden).
And they both have cousins who are crippled. Well to do children who are given everything their doctors and nurses and busy, mostly absent fathers can think of, except fresh air, sunshine and nature. Both are motherless as well. In both stories the heroines undergo deep personal transformation and healing, trials and tribulations, and after Nature teaches them her secrets, they share this golden key with their crippled cousins. Mary Collins’ cousin is Colin, Heidi’s cousin is Clara.
It is upon taking these children outside, Colin to the Secret Garden, and Clara to the Swiss Alps where Heidi returns to live with her beloved and troubled grandfather, that they both achieve true healing, within and without, and learn to walk again. And while Heidi and Mary are the facilitators and Nature the golden key, the other golden key is within each of them and each of us.
Which leads me to a scene in The Secret Garden where Mary and Colin are talking about the Universe. And Colin tells her about a holy man, one so holy that if one should be blessed to look into his mouth, one would see the whole universe. Mary argues with him about this idea, declaring it illogical, and Colin says it doesn’t have to make sense.
I feel Frances Hodges Burnett and Johanna Spyri were pointing out the golden keys to healing in these magical tales, just as Lewis was in the Narnia tales, for meditation can take us to other realms within.
As above, so below. As without, so within.
It is clearly evident this Mars and Mercury conjunct in Cancer along with the Sun opposing Pluto in Capricorn is causing some extreme behavior (and bizarre, and horrific) on the global scene, but at the same time people are praying, people are healing, people are gathering together and rising up for human rights and for our only planet.
There’s been times when I fell into despair and couldn’t get out of bed much due to many challenging health issues and depression (listing them anymore is claiming them and am done with that as best as possible). And then when I began spending more time outside, doing yoga, planting herbs for my cooking, coloring mandalas, meditating and going to my own inner sun did I begin to truly heal on a deep cellular level.
And we all are healing. We are each little holograms of the Universe, and we must be like hollow bones and keep our vessels pure.
Now it’s already July 01, and just getting around to the important aspects of this week. Been super busy! Yoga four times so far this week, a great physical therapy session, doctor visit which went well (my heart is strong), and four hot stone massages, three days with my Loralai and the sudden manifestation of a car. I was talking about getting one soon over a year ago, and at this point I had pretty much surrendered the idea, had written down the stages I needed to go through first, and suddenly my daughter was given a decent SUV and so she gave me her car. And my son JJ went out and bought himself a car yesterday. He’s a Virgo. Usually earth signs are very good at managing their money. I digress.
This week Kaypacha talks at us from a meadow overlooking a bay, but I am not sure of the location. It’s beautiful, though, as is the report.
Wednesday the Moon was still in Virgo, but she moved on into Libra yesterday, the beautiful energy of which was palpable last night. Just love Oklahoma summer night thunderstorms! Especially when just a couple friends visit. In Libra the Moon is influenced by Venus, creating potential romantic encounters. Mercury and Mars are conjunct all weekend, along with the Sun, which are all trine Pisces in Neptune, opposite Pluto in Capricorn, squaring it off. The Moon is conjunct Jupiter in Libra, bringing the feminine energies alive on this planet. Saturn is still in Sagittarius and Uranus is in Aries, and although Venus is still in Taurus, she is moving on into Gemini on Tuesday, creating a lift in the energies.
When the Moon reaches 9 degrees and 24 minutes of Libra, we will be in our first quarter square. I frequently feel inspired to light candles and connect with Nature in any way possible for the auspicious stages of the Moon (like sitting outside on my balcony next to my growing garden, but further out and away from civilization is preferable). Monday, when she is in Scorpio, she is going to oppose Uranus.
Also on Monday, she will trine the Sun, trine Neptune and sextile Pluto, which will be amazing. All in all, we will be having a Grand Cross with all the aspects going on.
The Cancer – Capricorn opposition creates a longing for connection, for nurturing, for touch. There will be a desire to connect with the other, friends, family, lovers, the community. We need each other for support, love, nurturing, procreation, and protection. At the same time Mars in Cancer will tend to lead us toward beautiful, sexual, amazing lovemaking connections. This is the weekend for it while Venus still basks in Taurus, one of the two signs she rules (Libra is the other, so hence a gob ton of Venusian energy to compliment three signs in Cancer and one in Pisces. Once Venus moves into Gemini, Pluto in Capricorn will be the only earth sign for a wee bit.
This is a weekend to fall in love, or fall back in love. Mars in Cancer opposite Pluto in Capricorn provides a strong magnetic pull, while Venus in Taurus is all about being in our bodies, honoring them, and loving ourselves first and foremost, but that’s what leads to love with another. When we are in love with life, with ourselves, and with the Universe, we radiate and attract love. It just happens.
Kaypacha then mentions one of Michael Moore’s films which I happened to watch a couple months ago, “Where Are We Going To Invade Next?” Moore goes to many different countries and asks important qualities about various topics like paid vacation time, mental health care, school lunches, shorter school days and work days, and brings up the powerful women of Iceland, who had a peaceful revolution and jailed their corrupt bankers. These women ask Moore how do the people in the United States sleep at night, where we are in a patriarchy on steroids and individualism has gone overboard. How can we be at peace with veterans and others living on the streets and the many other injustices going on which have gone rather amuck to a whole new extreme lately. We can learn a lot from Iceland!
The feminine focuses on community, as does the Age of Aquarius, and the South Node of the Moon in Aquarius will also call us to stand up for all our communities. But many have to wake up first.
He says all this and much much more, perhaps now that it’s the weekend you will have time to watch it, but my apology for the delay, time has been just whizzing on by. The shadow aspect of Cancer is getting all wrapped up in ourselves and needing attention, needing to be held, seeking approval, and being perhaps unconscious. The lighter side is the desire to nurture, care for the home and the children, and to give love and friendship.
Mars and Mercury opposing Pluto can also get people into a space of wanting more, more money, more sex, more, more, more until we are addicted in a codependent fashion. So this is something to be mindful of and keep our boundaries clear and our chakras balanced and auras nice and glassy smooth, not sponges at all. Jupiter in Libra encourages us to listen to other people and pay attention to their needs as well.
This week’s mantra: I can be a bottomless pit, of longing and needing more until such a time as I realize I am filled with love to the core.
This week’s Pele Report comes to us from a beautiful solitary lake, filmed and uploaded on Wednesday, May 24, as the Moon was in Taurus and moving slowly towards the New Moon in Gemini yesterday, May 25. The Sun is in Gemini, opposite Black Moon Lilith who is in Sagittarius. Venus in Aries is in square to Pluto. Mars is opposite Saturn as well, creating lots of contradictions yet again.
As the Moon goes through Gemini she is going to trine Jupiter, square Neptune, sextile Venus, conjunct Mars, opposite Saturn, and sextile Uranus – big day today, Friday!
On Sunday, She is going into Cancer, and she will square Jupiter, trine Neptune, sextile Mercury, opposte Pluto, square Uranus – these huge aspects will have our emotional bodies activated and tweaked, so it’s important to be mindful.
Chiron is still in Pisces – all of these aspects related to living in the paradox and going through a time of chaos in many people’s lives.
The path of the soul is like a wave. The individual soul emerges like a wave out of the ocean. It individuates and separates – north node of the Moon in Leo contributes to this huge variety of infinite potentials – each of us unique flowers, blooming in our own individual way.
Kaypacha goes on to expound upon duality in this world and the fear of diversity which contributes to such a huge amount of the conflict today. So even if we feel separate or outside of the unity of oneness, we go beyond the ego, the wave crashes, and the drop of water returns to the ocean of oneness.
Reincarnation gives us opportunity after opportunity to go through this individuation process and return to oneness. We come out of the black nothingness (absence of color) in the void – and travel towards the white light of oneness (white being the combination of all colors). He proceeds with an analogy of our differences and how we label ourselves using colors – I am yellow and you are blue but I want everyone to be yellow like me. It is this line of reasoning which leads to all wars.
Just as Jonathon Livingston Seagull breaks away from the flock, we need the contrast to see why we are different. It is because of this we have different religions, different political groups, belief systems, cultures (just what my poem Paradoxes is about). It is time to celebrate our diversity, for we are moving beyond duality as we enter the Age of Aquarius – and an age lasts two thousand years! We are moving into a time of love and compassion, but it takes many lifetimes.
I am simplifying here, BTW. Gemini with the left brain tries to take Pisces and Sagittarius and limit them. Venus square Pluto is coming up to join Eres, Goddess of Discord. Where would we be without discord? Even Eres throws an apple between the three goddesses – Aphrodite, Athena and Hera, and says, “For the fairest.” This creates so much discord and jealousy, for each of them wishes to be the one. And Lilith, as a serpent, brought the apple to Eve in order to experience discord. This all a necessary part of the revolutionary process. It does not need to result in violence, but instead can lead towards loving compassion and unity.
It’s important to not be pulled into polarity but stay in that truth, that beautiful place where we are true to ourselves. Love goes beyond polarity and leads us to the peace which passes understanding and accepting of all the craziness going on. The younger souls are trying to find themselves through the most extreme methods.
This week’s mantra: My deepest true identity is emerging from within. No longer defined by right or wrong, incapable of sin.
Sin has its Latin roots in error (a theology professor back in college explained it as falling short of our divine potential).
We are all moving out of this place of sin and will ultimately realize that each of us is here for a reason, there doesn’t have to be a right or wrong way to be – this is the New Paradigm. And as this is such a lengthy process, have mercy on yourselves! And our grandchildren will inherit the planet we plant the seeds for now, and they will know a world of peace.
Kaypacha’s farewell: May you find your true colors. Namaste. Aloha. So. Much. Love.
He sees me stumble, sees me lose it
sometimes completely lose my sense of reason,
He sees me freak out and cry out in pain,
and he comes laughing.
He shows me how to learn
from those stumbling times,
how to laugh even when I am afraid,
how to be a bad ass spiritual warrior,
how to learn to not be wounded anymore,
how to sit still and listen
to this body,
this body talks
and can transform
bit by bit
and by leaps and bounds –
you choose the style
and together we can dance
and laugh with Trickster,
for He is here to help us learn.
He leads us to the dance
of the Rainbow Dream Warriors.
