Mer­cury, the winged-foot mes­sen­ger of the Gods,

Links the Super­nal realms above,

With these less­er realms below.

His Caduceus of Consciousness,

Twin Ser­pents climb the rod.

Reveal­ing and Con­ceal­ing, for it is

A mys­tic sym­bol, of Ancient Truths.

It is the Promise of your Awakening,

For your Self-Becom­ing was foretold.

Today your Ser­vant of the Light, the Lord Mer­cury, aligns with the Fourth and final cor­ner of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross. You have already received his three pre­vi­ous gifts:

From Jupiter, you were remind­ed that you will find your Cen­tered Space with­in the Ancient Truths that have always held you to your true Path and Des­tiny; from Uranus, you were remind­ed that you have the Jew­el of Self-Tran­scen­dence with­in your own High­er Mind; and from Plu­to you were remind­ed that you are to use your Will in order to form your own Sacred Cen­ter as you also pro­tect all of Sacred Space.

From Jupiter you touched the Roots of Truth, from Uranus you touched the Wis­dom with­in, and from Plu­to you touched your Pow­er to Become…and now there remains but one guardian, one last bless­ing on this Car­di­nal Cross of Con­scious­ness, now it is time to lis­ten to Mars.

Mars is your Avatar of Action and Inten­tion. He moves with you through Time & Space as you stir the Waters of Life, as you Cre­ate these worlds with your Heart and Mind. He is the Pas­sion­ate Plan­et, he is your source of becom­ing, he is your Desire.

For in “the begin­ning” there is and will always be the One, unman­i­fest, THAT, pure poten­tial “wait­ing” out­side of Time and Space…and then, the Desire to become stirs, the One becomes Man­i­fest, and the One becomes the many, and this Cos­mos comes into being, again.

You are a most impor­tant part of that becom­ing, of that Jour­ney of Spir­it and Life. And in your heart of hearts, in the Spark of the Divine that is your inmost, that same Desire to be, that same insis­tent dri­ve to become is there…For you are here for one rea­son, you are dri­ven by one pur­pose as is all of this mar­velous Creation…You are here quite sim­ply for this, you are here To Grow.

Today your Avatar of Mind stands oppo­site to your Avatar of Desire, and you need to con­sid­er them as they are and are meant to be. You are to hold them togeth­er for they are nec­es­sary to each oth­er. You need to under­stand how they each are inte­gral to one anoth­er as you jour­ney on this path­way of Light.

For you will find in your many forms, expe­ri­ences and lives, that Action with­out Thought­ful guid­ance will lead to pain and suf­fer­ing for your­self and oth­ers. But equal­ly you will find that Knowl­edge and Under­stand­ing for them­selves are not enough, for you are here to become, you are here to Cre­ate and so you must Act too.

The Inte­gral rela­tion­ship of Mer­cury and Mars is how you learn to Mas­ter a most basic part of how you make and remake your­self and your worlds. That it is from Right Think­ing that you will bring about Right Action…But it is equal­ly true, that it is by Right Action that you lift your­self and your Mind from these realms below to the Star­ry realms above.

It is a most del­i­cate balance,

To mas­ter your Mind and your Desires too.

But you are here to learn,

Through the one Law, Kar­ma, Cause and Effect.

You will learn by thought­ful actions,

To make your world and yourself,

Into your Heart’s Desire.
