Metaversal New Moon Report: Fireweek/Atziluth of the Aries Lunar Cycle

Fireweek/Atziluth of the Aries 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. 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.

If possible, take the day off and enjoy nature. The New Moon Aries is exact at 4:24 am (7:24 ET), practically rising with the Sun. The Sabian symbol says: A MAGIC CARPET HOVERING OVER AN UGLY INDUSTRIAL SUBURB. Capacity to transform everyday life by the power of creative significance, or escape in idle fancy. Although this does inspire us to act, it’s best to do it before Moon goes VOC at 7:56 am (10:56 ET), or postpone until tomorrow, when the Moon will be in Taurus. Since this will be the last New Moon before Mercury enters its shadow and retrograde periods, further intensified in the sign of beginnings, we can best use it if we have something to start or launch. . The Moon in Aries packs a punch as it carries us through another episode of the long-term transformation we’re going through in some part of our life.Aries represents the period from birth to seven months old, when as new borns, we experience everything as an extension of ourselves. Virtually all energy is devoted to having our needs met. On the World scale, Aries is between 48,000 BC and 26,000 BC, when the primitive Neanderthals were trounced upon by Cro-magnons. They were virtually identical to modern Homo Sapiens, yet anthropologists do not know from whence they came. The Aries Moon can be so enthused with it's own adventure that it might seem a little arrogant. Don't take it personally. The focus is on action, not reaction. Sobbing and laughing from the fjord to the poorhouse, the tattooed infant teethes, balancing maliciously over the sea in the jejune elephantine dawn. The more “real” we can be about what’s happening, the more realistic our response and speedy our rebirth and recovery until the twilight comes, and with it, the soft rustle-rustle-THUMP of the creeping caterpillars, hauling their rickety pianos out to the town square in ominous fashion. I don't mind telling you, I saw that lady, and I don't know how she gets away with it. With what? With uniformed or perhaps short-sighted desires. So often what we think we want is so much less fulfilling than the mysteries life asks us to step up and take on. We humans are, after all, a funny bunch…Even setting intentions is better before the VOC, although we can certainly visualize the rest of today.

Friday, April 8
The Day of Venus in Fireweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. In the Western Mystery Tradition, the most pervasive polyamorous archetype is Aphrodite, Greek goddess of Love and Beauty. She is Venus, Ishtar, Astarte, Inanna and relates to the sephera Netzach on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. While she had more lovers than any other Greek goddess she was not victimized and never suffered from her numerous love affairs as did many of the other goddesses. Neither was she jealous or possessive. Unlike her counter parts she was allowed freely to choose both her husband and many lovers. She inspired poetry, communication and art as well as love. Her liaison with Hermes produced the bisexual Hermaphroditus. and her long time union with Mars (God of War) produced a daughter, Harmonia. Thus Love and War combined to give rise to Harmony. Moon in fertile Taurus helps us make concrete progress on the intentions we seeded at yesterday’s lunation, or if we haven’t yet, those we seed today. Harmonies with Neptune and Jupiter favor healing, creativity and promotion.

he 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. Don’t waste today on the couch, unless it’s with someone or doing something truly exciting. This could range from getting a shiatzu massage or an acupuncture treatment to experiencing satori, under the influence of today’s healing harmony from Moon to Chiron and a conjunction from Sun to Uranus, planet of awakening.Moon is VOC in Taurus, providing a fertile, even prosperous, backdrop for these energies of change, as it still performs in the sign of the bull. The afternoon is particularly good for following our own unique inspiration to produce something tangible.

Sunday, April 10
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.This morning is good for sharing breakfast, games or ideas. Enjoy it before 1:06 pm (4:06 ET), when Moon opposes Mars the warrior and Mercury also contacts the red planet, favoring independent but safe activities that help us release tension, such as gardening, swimming, taking a brisk walk or watching sports. Afternoon and evening favor spiritual practice and perhaps taking in a concert, with squares from Moon to both Neptune and Jupiter, planets of inspiration.

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 Fire. 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.Bright-eyed Gemini Moon makes early connections to movers and shakers Pluto and Uranus, facilitating breakthroughs in communication, handiwork, learning, promoting, publishing and teaching. Use this morning window well, as Moon goes VOC at 11:57 am (2:57 ET), when an afternoon break for reading, playing table games or doing crosswords is more to our inclinations.Keep a journal near your bed tonight, to capture messages triggered by tomorrow’s pre-dawn sextile from Mercury to Neptune.

Metaversal April: The Daily Forecasts and Astral Terrain Report

Friday, April 1
At 3.33 this evening, Moon leaves it's orbit around Earth, ending life as we know it. Unless you’re still on vacation, rise early and use the last few hours of Moon in Capricorn to get business taken care of before the party spirit sets in, making the rest of the day more apt than tomorrow or Sunday for weekend playtime. According to Lawrence Durdin-Robertson in The Year of the Goddess, April Fool’s comes from an ancient Irish tradition of “playing all sorts of low pranks” to make fools of people, in veneration of Venus. And most of the day actually is better for making fools than for trying to be productive, with Moon going VOC at 9:39 am (12:39 pm ET), in wry Capricorn and on a harmony to sociable Venus. This aspect is also rather opulent; try a post-prank gift of flowers or a chocolate truffle to sweeten the humiliation. At 6:37 pm (9:37 ET), Moon enters Aquarius, sealing our day on a friendly note. Aquarius represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between 12 weeks to 28 weeks after Conception, when the electrick nervous system of the fetus switches on. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Meteversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Aquarius represents the higher Self projecting itself to the world tribe, through media, groups, circles of friends (your Tribe) and utopian aims and idealistic pursuits alter the prevailing social systems. On the World scale, Aquarius occupies the period between AD 1840 and 1910. This was the time when the established dominance of the material world in Capricorn quickly required more sophisticated planning, spurred by Schopenhauer, ideas and beliefs from the east began flooding the West through such diverse channels as the Theosophical Society, the Golden Dawn, and the operas of Wagner. This was the time of Crowley, Nietzsce, and the early works of Freud. With the Moon in Aquarius we have the ability to combine East and West, Light and Dark, Sun and Moon. This is where we are compelled to reach out to others and network.

Saturday, April 2
Moon in creative Aquarius harmonizes with dynamic Mars in trailblazing Sag, making this morning great for audacious action. The influence is reiterated this evening, when Moon sextiles vital Sun in audacious Aries. Saturday’s planet is productive Saturn, and in combination with the waning Moon, we can make headway to consolidate and tie up things already begun. 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

Sunday, April 3
The Day of the Sun. The Metaversal Lightpilot, which the ancient Egyptians referred to as the KA, is actually the fourth dimensional driver of the third dimensional Lightcraft, the BA. There is a sixth dimensional solar mind which interacts with all levels and is purely an electromagnetick harmonic, a harmony based on all the other levels coming together around a center. And the sun is the center eternally now and therefore timeless. The Sun never sets on itself. The evolution of the Metaversal song, what some refer to as the Great Work, has as its core the purpose of resonating this harmonic through your individual interactive Lightcraft. This morning is a true awakening, with an early sextile from Moon in brilliant Aquarius to ruler Uranus in Aries, sign of sunrise. Don’t waste this day on anything short of blissful adventure, whether on your own or shared with joyous company. The adventure can even be productive if applied in a creative, cybernetic or altruistic project; as Uranus, planet of quakes, can lead to earthshaking progress. Inspiration continues this afternoon, although productivity wanes after 4:16 pm (7:16 ET), when Moon goes VOC on a sextile to communicative Mercury. It’s the perfect time to enjoy a funny movie or stimulating company, play Scrabble, or do crossword puzzles.
