Each time the Moon and Venus meet in the Morning sky it marks Inanna’s passage through a Chakra Gate.

The fourth time they Moon and Venus meet it represents the 4th gate/Heart Chakra on her way to rendezvous with the Sun this summer.

Most recently this is happening on March 2, 2019 marking the fourth meeting with the Moon since Venus stationed direct November 16, 2018.

In 2019 this Venus gate is especially important for anyone turning a multiple of 8 (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80 and 88 between November 1, 2018 and June 8, 2020) because you are in an eight year Venus Return Initiation cycle for the entire 19 month cycle.

In the story of Inanna this is where she is asked to give-up her breast plate, the vestment symboling her Heart Chakra. This means Inanna is letting go of the ways she no longer truly loves herself or others, including releasing self-judgment and judgment of others.

The Heart Chakra is linked with the emotional realms including love, kindness, generosity, compassion, and the shadowed aspects of lust, fraud, indecision, anxiety, longing, impartiality, arrogance, incompetence, discrimination and defiance.

Understanding and working with the intent of this cycle is valuable for anyone desiring a greater conscious connection with the divine feminine aspect they are investigating and integrating in this life regardless of perceived sex – everyone has a divine feminine aspect within them. Read More

February 02 is when many celebrate the February Cross-Quarter known as Imbolc or Candlemass, the festival of lights in the Catholic Tradition, also known as Ground Hog Day in the United States.

Ground Hog Day comes from a tradition that began in Europe with hedgehogs coming out of their burrows to judge if winter was nearly over. The New World did not have hedgehogs, so groundhogs were adopted. Read More

Before December 25 was designated as the birth of Christ in the 4th century by the Western Church – January 6 was the date used for celebrating Christmas and is the date still celebrated by the Eastern Christian Church.

When the Western Christian Church adopted December 25 it gave rise to the tradition of the “12 Days of Christmas” that ends on January 6.

The traditional story (most likely adapted from an older tradition) features Three Kings, Three Wise Men or Three Magi (Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar) following the star to Bethlehem bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child. Read More

Time Acceleration During Total Lunar Eclipses

All eclipses open portals from the Great Above and are opportunities to consciously connect with what is hidden within in ourselves. Total Lunar Eclipse are a time when the shadow of the Earth is passing over the face of the Moon. This means it is a time when we can literally see our own shadow.

From one Full Moon to next Full Moon usually takes 29.5 days. In a total Lunar Eclipse this nearly 30 day time frame occurs in about three to five hours suggesting an acceleration of time compressing what usually takes nearly 30 days into a few hours.

Those Living in the North and South America will get to visually connect with the totality for this January 20/21, 2019 Perigee Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse magnifying the intensity and visual size of the Moon. Read More

Every year the Sun is with Vega January 4, 5, and 6 in the constellation of Lyra around the time when Earth is closest to the Sun (or perihelion). This means the potency of the illumination coming to Earth when the Sun is aligned with Vega is further magnified due to Earth’s closer proximity to the Sun.

Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra and is the famous star Jodi Foster travels to in the movie Contact. In addition to being the bright pole star 13,000 years ago, Vega is one of three bright stars in the Summer Triangle, and one of 15 magical Behenian Stars.

.
 This means Vega’s star power is most potent when a planet is within 6 degrees. The Sun is within 6 degrees of Vega from December 30 to January 12 every year. In 2019 Saturn is with this star (a once in 30 year possibility) and Venus and Saturn are very close as mentioned above Read More
