The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of firey Atziluth. Wearing black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line." At 0:05 am PT, the Moon enters its void period, which lasts until 9:10 am upon entry into lively Leo. We wake up with much to ponder from deep within the unconscious; an active approach wins the day! With the Moon in Leo some may shave Celtic crosses on the rumps of consenting pooches and airbrush infrared barcodes on the haunches of catnip-tripping felines, but most won’t. Leo represents the period of when as children we begin primary school, which is the first detachment from the family structure, where we learn to make relationships and satisfy the need to be loved in the world. Games provide a way to relate to others and they teach us to accept and make rules, the basis for being able to structure our lives (from 7 to 13 years old). On the World Scale, Leo is between 3,000 to 800 BC when both the Egyptian and Sumerian civilizations flourished, when religion became monotheistic, where one being represented or was, God on Earth. During this Time of Pharaohs and Kings, Lion images proliferated in architecture and monuments, for the Lion is of course, King of Beasts. With the Moon in Leo today we may be seeking romance with a flare for the dramatic..Don’t let an insecure ego run rampant trying to overcompensate for what you think you don’t have. It’s easy to turn emotional incidents into high drama. Build emotional security by using your willpower. Be romantic. Love. Sun sextiles Chiron, reinvigorating our focus on a healing process that began in late February.

The Day of the Sun and the First Day of Waterweek.We recover more gems from the deep, the truth that lies within, as Sun trines Pluto, another doorway to the transformative process we’ve taken on for this year’s Pluto cycle. This is not just a door to peer into and see what’s there, but to boldly fling open and cross the threshold. As the Sun shines into the Underworld, the Shadow is in the light. Step by step, the transformation is fulfilled, what with Pluto retrograde and all. In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts. It is one of the three most recognizable archetypes, the others being the anima and animus and the persona. "Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." it may be (in part) one's link to more primitive animal instincts, which are superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind. According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to projection: turning a personal inferiority into a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. Jung writes that if these projections are unrecognized "The projection-making factor (the Shadow archetype) then has a free hand and can realize its object--if it has one--or bring about some other situation characteristic of its power." These projections insulate and cripple individuals by forming an ever thicker fog of illusion between the ego and the real world. From one perspective, 'the shadow...is roughly equivalent to the whole of the Freudian unconscious';[ and Jung himself considered that 'the result of the Freudian method of elucidation is a minute elaboration of man's shadow-side unexampled in any previous age' Jung also believed that "in spite of its function as a reservoir for human darkness—or perhaps because of this—the shadow is the seat of creativity.";so that for some, it may be, 'the dark side of his being, his sinister shadow...represents the true spirit of life as against the arid scholar'. The Moon in Leo reaches its opening square to the Sun at 2:57 am PT/9°29' Leo, thickening the plot that we’re participating in this month. Open expression is key as Moon fills in a Minor Grand Trine with Mercury and Venus. We know the truth because we feel it, and our conviction makes it easier to express joyously. Whatever happens now, especially in relationship, is not the end of the story. Venus is slowing down to her retrograde, now just two weeks away: we can see what needs to be resolved now as we move more deeply into the shadow. Review and adjust. This is the key impulse we feel on this lunation, as Moon connects with Jupiter in its closing phase of its current yearly cycle. The Sun comes along in two weeks to do the same, and we are focused on what we’ve accomplished this year, what still needs to be done. There’s a hurry-up urge, but our efforts are coordinated and carry the confidence of the preparations we’ve made over the past four months. The chart relevant to the US cast for Washington DC suggests that weather extremes will remind us of our vulnerability to forces larger than ourselves. There is a moment of truth about what’s going on among the people, how much suffering exists in the heartland, the first step in changing it. Creative pursuits, play, and spontaneity have a role in diverting the public from their pain, give life meaning, and help with facing fears if they are not used to escape. The First Quarter Moon highlights 10 Leo, the Sabian Symbol of which is “Everywhere there is a sparkle, and nature is revealed in pastel colors; the early morning dew salutes the sunlight.” The dazzling life that expresses itself through nature is an unfathomable miracle, ignored because its grandeur is simply too immense to comprehend. If we take one moment to really take it in, we are filled with awe at life, gratitude for the simple fact or our existence, and meaning as we seek to fill a responsible role in the unfolding story.

Projecting Light Specific purple or octarine (a particular shade of electric pinkish purple) into your forehead and facing West, activate the Ajna Holographic Image Projection System (third eye), then invoke blessed Gabriel. Diana, or Sailor Moon into your Brow Chakra. It's the Moon's day in the week of Water and the emotional body in reflection. The lunar orb being receptive and reflective, focuses the qualities of the signs and other planets to our personal Lightcraft. The Lunar center, and its intimate connection with the Holographic Image Projection System, is not only the foundation for the astral plane, but is the fiery aspect of astral energy itself. The Moon in Leo goes void of course at 7:17 am PT, giving us a day of inner activity. The productive phase ends on a constructive note, and we’ll feel inclined to get that organizing done that we haven’t had the time or priority to tackle. Today is the day. We can reawaken our proactive focus at 4:02 pm, when the Moon goes into industrious Virgo. Virgo represents the period from 13 to 23 years old, when mental growth dominates our lives and many attend institutes of higher learning. Many binding choices are made and the rules and details of society are learned. On the World scale Virgo is between 800 BC and AD 400, when classical civilizations like Greece and Rome flourished, when culture, science, philosophy, politics dominated. By AD 300the Books of the New Testament were chosen to support the beliefs of the Christians who formed the political organization of the Church. The naive excepted the surface value, while initiates were forced to hide (occult) their rituals and teachings. Until now. Even above Earth, there are secrets at the heart of Nature that'd make you laugh till you stopped. Maybe you’ll just keep working on that filing project.
