Fireweek/Atziluth of the Taurus Lunar Cycle
The seed/ideas we have from the New Moon to the First Quarter Moon come from the kabbalistic world of Atziluth (Fire) and are the blueprints/seeds for everything that exists, has existed, and will ever exist in the physical world of Assiah (Earth), as an embodiment of the archetypal idealized apple (or a least the Core)..
Fireweek is the time to remember we're in the pilots seat of our own personal Lightcraft and make some course corrections if we've veered off course… The Sagittarius Lunar cycle is the time to speak-out. Pythagoras founded a philosophical and religious school in Croton and was the head of the society with an inner circle of followers known as mathematikoi. The mathematikoi lived permanently with the Society, had no personal possessions and were vegetarians. They were taught by Pythagoras himself and obeyed strict Aquarian rules. The beliefs that Pythagoras held were
(1) that at its deepest level, reality is mathematical in nature,
(2) that philosophy can be used for spiritual purification,
(3) that the soul can rise to union with the divine,
(4) that certain symbols have a mystical significance, and
(5) that all brothers and sisters of the order should observe strict loyalty and secrecy. Pythagoras noticed that vibrating strings produce harmonious tones when the ratios of the lengths of the strings are whole numbers, and that these ratios could be extended to other instruments. In fact Pythagoras made remarkable contributions to the mathematical theory of music. He was a master musician, playing the lyre, and he used music as a means to help those who were ill. Well you can turn me to salt, dye me blue, and let the cows lick me into the homunculus of remorse, whence I will go about the countryside ejaculating Pythagoras' name through kitchen windows. And the people will say, 'Look out, it's him again.' And, typically, there will be those among them who will say, 'Let's kick him to death.' And still others will countermand them, saying, 'No - let's just maim him and send him on his way.' Citizens and townsfolk, can you not see the sign around my neck? LOCK UP YOUR DOUBTERS: SHE IS RISEN, LIKE THE WOBBLY ROD OF MAN AS IT DOWSETH THE FLUIDIFEROUS CHALICE OF THE EMPERESS! Speak out about what's near and dear to your heart. You needn't dress in any but the most perfunctory manner nor bring any crickets (there will be plenty of those!) The angel of dread has wrestled with the Lightpilot and brought her to her knees.
Tuesday, May 19
Tuesday is ruled by Mars, the leader, whose vibration is strengthened by the today’s number 5.
This morning, Moon in Gemini connects with Pluto, giving power to our thinking and communications.
It activates our brilliance and can open doors with a harmony to Uranus, planet of electrical surprises,
at 10:57 am (1:57 ET). Obstacles fall away and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel as another layer of reality
begins to reveal itself. But today is the first full day of mischievous Mercury’s retrograde cycle, a time when the best
of intentions go awry if we don’t have all our ducks in a row. The restless Gemini Moon joins up with Mercury to
precipitate misunderstandings, making it crucial to think things through before saying something we later regret.
Write down ideas and intentions and act on them before that time, when Moon will go
VOC for the rest of the day. After that, read, do menial paper work or crossword puzzles, play Scrabble, use
affirmations or mantras, and save major actions or purchases for tomorrow or Wednesday, when Moon will be in savvy
Cancer.
Wednesday, May 20
The Day of Mercury in the week of Active Air. Mercury's function in Yetzirah is to actively communicate. To think. To know. To reason. Mercury teaches (by demonstration), the animation of Eidolons, the magick indwelling of icons by Spirit. Avoid any doctrine or religious movement that advocates a shameful wickedness with the alphabet. Provoke a pause to be with yourself this morning, as Moon in Cancer helps us be aware of our feelings. She connects with Saturn, now retrograde in Sagittarius where the planet of organization helps us bring order to the house in our charts and area of our lives where the archer’s luck and optimism can make us a bit too easy-going.This intuitive Moon helps us look at our emotions around that process, as we find new courage. I hope this isn't an ackward time to mention that the structural basis for all Light-specific work in the Metaverse is regular, disciplined connection to the No-Form, meditation, contemplation, what ever you want to call it, as long as it's deep. Supremely solitary in that heath of scrub. The Light-Specific state initiates itself with SOLITUDE, the gratifying element of being alone (if only for 20 minutes a day)... without which, true development is impossible. The point is to connect to your inner source of stability, the state of potentia, the No-Form, at least once a day. No-Form is not a goal or state of "spiritual arrival" (as some religions would have us believe), it is a highly practical, multi-purpose tool for dissolving our identification with the ego. If you want to play with us, this is the only rule. The foundation of our Lightcraft is built in Chaos, so you must maintain a firm foundation, or Chaos your life will be. Some of us need this connection four times a day (sunrise, true noon, sunset, true midnight). Some of us actually manage to do it four times a day. It is a choice you must make. I would do it for you if I could. Once a day is all that's required to maintain the Continuity function. Future generations of yourself will be glad this came to pass. The Lightcraft Academy , Yoga Ceremonial Magick, this astrology forecast, they all provide ritual technology for Self initiation. But the key word here is Self. D.I.Y

Take physical exercise in Jupiter's Day, when he is reigning, and use Jovial things such as Lapis Lazuli, Brass, Cedarwood, blue and aery colours, wine, honey; and entertain thoughts and feelings which are particularly Jovial, that is, expansive, healthy, and with good humour... - Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Astrologer and Orphic Musician
The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Fire, Atziluth. If you don't have a good laugh today, you are missing the point. There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Everyone laughed when I sent my dog Xero to the Canine Academy Of Design, but they won't be laughing today when he continues to shit all over their lawn. Change is on the airwaves, especially in relationships. Most of us can pick these energies up before awakening, as Sun shifts into mental Gemini, and Jupiter, the expander, rubs up against transformative Pluto. We can apply these energies to journaling, mirror talk, positive affirmations, meditation or any inner work that can increase our love for self and all of life, as nurturing Moon joins sweet Venus in Cancer at 10:07am (1:07 ET). From a mundane perspective, these energies also favor sharing a special breakfast with someone we wish to spoil, but the morning’s inner work can be vital, as today’s aspects will pressure us to look at the emotions behind our need for freedom, prompting projections onto others and potential discord.
Less than an hour after the warm connection with Venus, that same sensitive Cancer Moon opposes Pluto in authoritarian Capricorn, making for tension with the boss and bringing our issues with authority to light. The stress continues into the afternoon as Moon goes on to square Uranus, the other player in our central struggles of the last three years.
This afternoon, people planet Venus returns to the day’s dance with an opposition to Pluto. A midnight trine from Moon to healing Chiron helps us close the day’s circle in greater wholeness, particularly if we centered in thoughts of love this morning, and spend a few minutes before going to sleep to review our thoughts and interactions with greater perspective on what
freedom means to us from an intimate and emotional perspective. We should not underestimate the power of Earthritual/ interlock/ and the focused magnetism of emotion. If we would like less catastrophic weather change, this is specifically the engineering we must learn. Like man, the weather participates or partakes of both Earth and Sky. These planet-wide weather up-heavals are literally and specifically, collective emotions. Only if we can emote collectively and braid our ecosystems with coherent emotion can we save our future. This is no arbitrary test for survival of our genepool. It is the perfect test. If we can learn to braid electrical space with the harmonics which love weaves, then we have passed the "ring pass knot" gate to the
privilege of doing that same activity for the braid creation of star systems
and galaxies with our similar but much unpacked and blossomed electrical bodies.
Love is not just a good idea, it's the Law

Invoke blessed Haniel, just before dawn or 2 hours after sunset and behold, a court of photosynthetic Angels who make this place inside your chest cavity a Paradise, performing tantric intercourse in magick towers and lush subterranean caves, opening your Lionheart chakra, a breeze like yellow silk on your naked skin. She really gets my donkeys up onstage. I love the way she plays with my expectations. Like a little dragon-faced hen bursting with tinsel and frayed at the wrong end. The vibration of master number 22 precipitates manifestation and helps us convert the vitality of Leo Moon and challenge of Sun in opposition to Saturn into consolidated success. This morning, Moon in Cancer accentuates our intuition and business sense. At 2:42 pm (5:42 ET), Moon enters vital Leo, followed by harmonies with dexterous Mercury in Gemini, sign of communication, and Saturn the builder in visionary Sagittarius. We feel inspired, and can express ourselves well. However, Sun in potentially light-hearted Gemini opposes Saturn, putting a note of seriousness in the weekend’s melody as it causes us to doubt our creativity and become circumspect. This isn’t much fun, but it can propitiate a new level of excellence, particularly since Saturn is retrograde, supporting review and reorganization of what we are building, and pressuring us to produce something concrete in our exchanges with colleagues, clients, students, teachers or the public at large. With focus, patience and persistence, we can use Mercury retrograde and any apparent setbacks as stepping stones for future success. Avoid potentially discouraging interchanges and guilt trips on self or others.

The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Fire Atziluth. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum.
"Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Fire week, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response, with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this, (such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with money, possessions or health. With the Moon in Leo as the Sun rises, 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. Revel in the warmest kindest most tender parts of yourself. A morning contact to
fantastical Neptune in Pisces accentuates artistic intuition, while harmonies to Mars and Mercury in Gemini, sign of communication, give energy and smarts to get your message across. A nighttime contact with intense Pluto helps your creations go deep. The day closes with a conjunction from Moon to Jupiter in Leo, giving them a touch of enchantment. This influence also favors sharing games and stories,
particularly with children.
Sunday, May 24
The Day of the Sun in Fireweek. The six of Wands (Sun in Atziluth) is all about being acknowledged, getting a pat on the back, achieving recognition. You can triumph over yourself, the environment, or the odds. Your talents begin in the Divine (Atziluth), develop with the love and support of others, and only in the end express through us. When obtaining the summit of this holy mountain, keep in mind this fourth-dimensional "Metaverse" possesses a design and field of motion encoded with solar-galactic information. Few things symbolize victory and glory like obtaining the summit of this Holy Mountain . In order to do so one has to plan, organize, exercise patience, and overcome mental and physical hardships. In short - be willing to do the seemingly impossible and then accept the credit when your objective is completed.Old doubts resurface as Venus squares Neptune (0°43' Sagittarius/Pisces), but the greater truth is a work in progress, and there are no shortcuts. A profound multi-dimensional transformation is taking place, and we must wait until the right time for the manifestation to occur. Finally the stars give us day of rest! If you happen to be awake early this Sunday, you can use the genius-stimulation trine form Moon in creative Leo to
Uranus in confident Aries, although it’s so early that most of us will be asleep (3:50am PT, 6:50 ET).
Inspiration will flavor the Moon’s VOC cycle that begins on this transit and lasts all day, punctuated by a contact to
Chiron in Pisces. Seek an inspiring spiritual gathering, enjoy a concert in the park or other healing encounters
with music and nature, and easy-going company.

Second Quarter Moon in Virgo comes with a wonderful Sabian image. “IRISHMAN DREAMS OF LITTLE PEOPLE BENEATH A TREE. Constructive imagination as it reveals unconscious realms of being. Creative fantasy, contact with inner life energies.” The Irish culture derives from the Celts, probably the oldest pagan culture in the West, and this symbol puts us in touch both with nature and the ancestral knowledge of creative imagination.Contact with “inner life energies” and “constructive… fantasy” are magical ways to use today’s grounded Virgo Moon, its tense contacts, and a square from Mars to Neptune. Considered a challenging combination, Mars-Neptune can bring to light difficult situations that were previously hidden.And yet if that does occur, we can know that it is for the greater good of all concerned, and use our imaginations to visualize a new and greater good.In fact, we don’t have to wait for a problem to rear its head, Mars gives new energy to our intentions to visualize and heal. Make a dream board or apply begin in greater earnest a cycle of intentional imagination on some goal you had before Mercury entered his shadow period on April 25. Dreams and oracle consultations can provide clear direction and dancing can release stress and get your circulation going.Such activities are positive ways to channel a series of tense aspects to the Moon which could create stress in more worldly activities.Avoid substance abuse and driving or using machinery after drinking and in general take your time and pay attention when doing physical activities.
