World Invo­ca­tion Day

You passed through a por­tal two weeks ago, skip­ping into the Airy Realm of Gem­i­ni where your intel­lect soars and swoops to solve the many puz­zles of life…Now comes your moment of rev­e­la­tion, the mean­ing behind the mes­sage of what that New Moon bestowed is now upon you…And it is going to be quite a Rev­e­la­tion indeed!

For just as the New Moon was an annu­lar Solar Eclipse, this Full Moon is a par­tial Lunar Eclipse, with only part of the shad­ow of the Earth falling upon the Moon as she pass­es Earth (while we have the Sun “behind” us, so to speak). There is always a spe­cial mean­ing with­in the mes­sage when­ev­er there is an eclipse…

What does this Full Moon reveal…and what is that more occult mes­sage car­ried by that mys­te­ri­ous shad­owed Moon?

The “ordi­nary” mes­sage of a Full Moon in Sagit­tar­ius reminds you that your delight­ful romp in those diver­si­fy­ing and divert­ing realms of Gem­i­ni can lead you into such com­pli­cat­ed intel­lec­tu­al con­struc­tions that you are like­ly to become lost in the maze of your own men­tal path­ways. Yes, it is true, that there are many points of view, many ways that you could approach the myr­i­ad ques­tions that life presents to you…Some are sim­pler, some more elegant…some pro­found, many less so…

The greater ques­tion must even­tu­al­ly arise: How, how can you know what is more “True”?

And so you turn, you turn and Face the Center…you turn towards Sagit­tar­ius which lies where the Cen­ter of our Galaxy is…You seek for some­thing that res­onates as Ever-true, Ever­last­ing, Eternal…You turn to Spir­it, you turn towards your home…and you ask “WHY”?

But today the answer comes wrapped with­in anoth­er puzzle…for the Earth­’s shad­ow cross­es over the rev­e­la­tion of Greater Mean­ing and you are amazed by its beau­ty, but con­fused by the Mes­sage from the Empyrean.

Do not be troubled…understand that it is Earth who casts this shad­ow. It means that you (like every­one else) get in your own way, because of how dis­tract­ed your life can become, cap­tured by the fas­ci­na­tions of this real­i­ty you move in…You may not be able to hear the Greater Mes­sage that is there for you…Your High­er self is try­ing to help you to lift that veil, but you remain too enam­ored, too caught up in the myr­i­ad delights of this low­er realm…

What can you do?

Well, actu­al­ly you can do a lot, for your­self and every­one else too…For today is called World Invo­ca­tion Day. It is a day (as should be every­day!) that you and many oth­ers can turn and look up into the awe­some Vast­ness, into the Spaces of Space around you and equal­ly turn to the Sacred Cen­ter which is with­in you and silent­ly, rev­er­ent­ly speak the words which mil­lions will sing out on this most sacred day of Revelation:

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of Light with­in the Mind of God

Let light stream forth into human minds.

Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love with­in the Heart of God

Let love stream forth into human hearts.

May the Com­ing One return to Earth.

From the Cen­tre where the Will of God is known

Let pur­pose guide all lit­tle human wills -

The pur­pose which the Mas­ters know and serve.

From the Cen­tre which we call the human race

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out

And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Pow­er restore the Plan on Earth.

Your inquis­i­tive, rest­less Mind finds a stead­ier focus today…Saturn brings a wel­come mea­sure of grav­i­tas to the youth­ful enthu­si­asms of Mer­cury skip­ping through Gemini.

The most won­drous gift of Her­mes in Gem­i­ni is your remark­able capac­i­ty known as Intelligence…It is the gift of your mind’s facile adapt­abil­i­ty, nim­ble quick­ness and insa­tiable curios­i­ty that cre­ates your capac­i­ty for tack­ling the nev­er-end­ing chal­lenges that you encounter on your path.

But that very gift can some­times cre­ate its own set of challenges…of con­trari­ness, rest­less­ness and dis­trac­tion. Today’s beau­ti­ful align­ment of Mer­cury and Sat­urn pro­vides a wel­come teth­er between your over eager low­er mind and your pur­pose­ful sense of responsibility.

You can take your delights in the joy found through Mer­cury’s open-mind­ed approach while also dis­play­ing the prac­ti­cal atten­tive­ness that sees the mat­ter brought to a suc­cess­ful out­come. Rather than a wit who is mere­ly whim­si­cal, you dis­play the gift of intel­li­gent bril­liance that shines for posterity.

Today is a day for quick yet deep­er thinking…

Today you are a steady Shin­ing Star…the shad­ows will give way…

You are the Youth­ful One…and The Ancient of Days…

As you walk the razor’s edge, between the Dark­ness and the Light.

Mer­cury is dash­ing through his own sign, (he is more than halfway through already!), and today he blows a kiss to love­ly Venus who has been back­ing up in Gem­i­ni since May 15. Venus is get­ting ready for her “Big Show” on Tues­day, June 5 when she will skip across the face of the Sun (It’s a show she will not repeat until the year 2117!).

Today is a very, very good day…You should take some time, set some time aside for your­self and those you love, and expe­ri­ence the bless­ing of “Thought­ful Love”, the gift that comes when your “Head” (Mer­cury) and “Heart” (Venus) are aligned with one another!

Mer­cury rules your mind…your per­cep­tions, thoughts and forms of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. Venus rules your values…your aes­thet­ic and social sen­si­bil­i­ties, your appre­ci­a­tion of the beau­ti­ful, the Love with­in and the Love that sur­rounds your­self. Today the Mercury/Venus align­ment cre­ates a won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to share in the beau­ty of your Spir­i­tu­al Truth…that you are Love…you are Loved.

Not only do you have a clear­er path to your expe­ri­ence of Beau­ty today, you also have a most won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to share this with those you love too. The meet­ing of your Mind and Heart cre­ates a mar­velous sym­pa­thy of under­stand­ing, about your love for one anoth­er and your enjoy­ment for the world through which you walk together.

Today is a won­der­ful day to cel­e­brate the Force that binds one and all into The Greater Reality…

Today is a day to Live Tru­ly, to Live Aligned, Heart and Mind…

Today is a day to Walk in Beau­ty and Love…

Today is a Good Day!

Whoa…you bet­ter Slow Down…No Real­ly, you bet­ter slow down and LISTEN!

When Mer­cury encoun­ters Mars, your Mind is on fire…but your patience is at an ebb and you are like­ly to make mistakes…and you cer­tain­ly might offend (or be offended).

Sure, it feels fine to be oh so sharp, quick and alert…but you real­ly need to remem­ber that the most impor­tant part of com­mu­ni­ca­tion is to be a good (and patient) lis­ten­er. So turn that excite­ment back upon your­self and con­sid­er what you real­ly know ver­sus what is mere­ly con­jec­ture or opinion…

Mer­cury is skip­ping through Gem­i­ni now and delight­ing in all the diver­si­ty, stim­u­la­tion and excite­ment that this sign brings. Your Mind is seek­ing for the far­ther reach­es, push­ing beyond the accept­ed frontiers…just for the fun of it…Seeing real­i­ty in all its won­drous, dis­tract­ing multiplicities…making discoveries…but the prob­lem here is that you might draw con­clu­sions too quick­ly and so fall into error…

Mars in Vir­go brings a sharp reminder that all those curi­ous diver­sions, all those obser­va­tions, data points, those myr­i­ad facets or points of view…they all need to be brought down to Earth, into some mean­ing­ful order­ing and pur­pose­ful­ness. Mars is the Shaper here, remind­ing Mer­cury that inge­nu­ity, adapt­abil­i­ty and enthu­si­asm in your mind is nec­es­sary to prob­lem solving…but too much brings about just as many new prob­lems to solve…You can move too fast from your data points to “truth”, not tak­ing the time to cri­tique and ana­lyze what is really…Real…

Mars is remind­ing Mer­cury, that some­times (often­times) sim­pler is better…

Although, it is true, your Gem­i­ni spir­it of curios­i­ty is the key to your Intelligence…

It needs to be matched to the Vir­go ide­al of order, so you can achieve the greater Good…

You need to remem­ber that what you real­ly seek…Where Wis­dom Lies…

Is to found in that del­i­cate balance…where you experience…

Peace of Mind!

Subtlety…is good!

Some­times the Gifts of the Spir­it come with thun­der and light­ning, they break upon you to deliv­er an awe­some chal­lenge to your char­ac­ter, they bring great strife and heartache…but in the end, you accept, you understand…and you grow…

But Spir­it has anoth­er side too, gen­tle and reas­sur­ing, like a warm sum­mer breeze or a reas­sur­ing caress that reminds you…everything will be okay…that you are okay…

Today is a wel­come, gen­tle reminder that you are Unique! You are a Spark of the Divine, part of some­thing that is of the All-Encom­pass­ing, Uni­ver­sal and Omni-Present…Yet, you are a One, a unique instance or mon­ad of the All…You are Spe­cial, as is every oth­er being who, like you, is on this won­drous Jour­ney of Unfoldment…

Uranus quick­ens the release of your unique self…it gov­erns the process known as Indi­vid­u­a­tion through which you strive to lift up your aware­ness. You grow into your greater self through the chal­lenges you encounter in the very cir­cum­stances you helped to cre­ate. You work to tran­scend those self-lim­i­ta­tions you made for your­self, until you even­tu­al­ly achieve a con­tin­u­ous, unbro­ken rela­tion­ship with your High­er Self…

Uranus often brings about these shifts of aware­ness through rather shock­ing jolts. Uranus, The Awak­en­er, caus­es dis­tur­bances that seem to beset you with trou­bles yet whose ulti­mate effect frees you from your self-lim­i­ta­tions. You real­ize that it was you, with your lim­it­ed per­spec­tives, with your doubts and fears, it was you that held your­self in thrall to the lesser…and Uranus freed you to unfold more of what you will become…

Today you receive a more gen­tle touch of Uranus’ Gift of Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty. Uranus pro­vides a bridge to your high­er under­stand­ing so that you can more eas­i­ly let go of your self-made con­straints. You are more ready to accept and so seek to expand your self-real­iza­tion, to be freer in Mind and Spir­it and move into a larg­er space of Becoming…As you also acknowl­edge and cre­ate this greater space of Free­dom for those with whom you journey.

Today, Uranus caress­es you with this gen­tle encouragement…

That you are for­ev­er becom­ing more than you were…

You are part of the Jour­ney of the Divine…you are important!

The Uni­verse is count­ing on you…to be yourself…

To be Free!
