Orion is also known as the High Man (Maybe High Woman?)
Orion is seen as the High Man from a Celtic Perspective and was considered a way to know when ages were changing when the Sun was on the Hand of Orion during a seasonal time.
Currently the Sun is on Orion’s Hand every June Solstice beginning a new Galactic Year for ancient cultures who saw this as representative of the start of a new cycle of time. This began in 1926 and lasts until 2070 with the center point being from 1962 to 2034.
When we consider the Solstice Sun is illuminating the starry light codes on the Galactic Cross at the Galactic Edge within and beyond beyond our galaxy we begin to get a sense of how profound this is.
The brightest fixed star in the constellation of Orion is Betelgeuse – meaning “the armpit of the central one”. Orion in most depictions is seen reaching a hand to the Galactic Cross at the Galactic Edge where the June Solstice Sun Rises. This currently means the Sun at the June Solstice is on the Hand of the High Man.
The Sun is conjunct Betelgeuze (28°Gemini 28′) on June 18, a giant red star marking the right shoulder of Orion, the Hunter; and part of the winter triangle including Sirius and Procyon, known in some cultures as Heaven’s Gate or the entry point into this dimension of experience. It can also be seen as the stellar gateway to our Ancestral Origins. (See details for the exploration into this perspective HERE)
Ancient India connected this star to the Vedic storm-god Rudra, who was a form of Shiva, the transformer through destruction and re-creation. This star currently located near the June Solstice, is drawing upon its transformative abilities to assist in this shift to a new time.
In Page Bryant’s book Starwalking: Shamanic Practices for Taveling into the Night Sky she describes Betelguese as sending an energy that “helps sustain the flow of life force in all bodies on Earth.” The Sun’s own radiant life force energy further transmits the energy from Betelgeuse making this an ideal time to tune into this star energy.
Betelgeuse was thought to be a star that encouraged the pursuit of perfection and high level achievement. In these transforming times, the standards or ideals of perfection are not what they once were, as our understanding and perspective have changed over time. Worldly perfection and accomplishment does not necessarily create inner peace and joy and often has quite the opposite effect. When the focus shifts to accepting the inner perfection we already possess then our external world experience shifts.
Everybody has to look at his or her own footprint and do the best they can. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about doing something. If we’re looking for perfection, we’ll never, ever get there. ~ Laurie David
