Venus comes home…

To her Airy realm of Liv­ing Val­ues, to
the shared sacred spaces of your social sen­si­bil­i­ties, togeth­er­ness and love…

This is where and how you seek to find
your wor­thi­ness now, in the mir­ror of the oth­er, to see with and through them,
and so to catch yet anoth­er glimpse of the truth of spir­it, the truth of you.

For with Venus in Libra you are more
able to move into that space out­side of your­self, to con­sid­er life from the Archimedean
Point of Spir­it, and it is this which can allow you to more clear­ly experience
the val­ue of you by and through your rela­tion­ship with your beloved.

You weigh your­self upon those Scales of Libra,
of Val­ues forged and found in Rela­tion­ship, and in that mea­sure for mea­sure, you
find your Truth in and by the Love that you share with one another.

You will see and under­stand your­self by and
through one anoth­er, as you make your way through beau­ty beheld and found with­in. You
find a know­ing and deep­er appre­ci­a­tion for the fun­da­men­tal Truth that governs
this Uni­verse, the Prin­ci­ple of Spir­i­tu­al Jus­tice expe­ri­enced by you as the
Weav­ing-Way, of giv­ing and receiv­ing, of Cause and Effect, the Prin­ci­ple of Balance,
The Law of Karma…and what binds one to all and all to One is this…

The Foun­da­tion­al Val­ue, the mea­sure of
all things, is Love…In this you know and feel the Val­ue that you are. You are the
Mea­sure of you, and this Val­ue is revealed and affirmed by how you live your Life…for in Truth, from the begin­ning of
your jour­ney until the very end, it is what you Give that you shall Get…you are the Seed and the Fruit, you are the Mak­er of your Destiny.

Venus dances through Libra now for over
three weeks, and it is your time to move out and back again in Laugh­ter and
Love, as you weave your way to your­self and to your beloved, in loving
reciprocities…by grace­ful­ness, through jus­tice and in beauty.

Venus leads you now upon the path­ways of
Greater Under­stand­ing, the path­ways of love found in and through a life shared.

She offers you joy as you offer your
Love…

She sings of your Love for one
another…

She finds you wor­thy, for you are…

Lov­ing and Loved.

Beloved.

Well, it has been a long, long time…in
fact Mer­cury has been in Can­cer, swim­ming through those oh so sen­si­tive seas
since the end of May! Usu­al­ly, Mer­cury will zip through a sign in about two to
three weeks, but this was over two months! So, you have had a special
oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence the mys­tery and beau­ty that graced and altered your Perceptions
and Communications…for over two months your mind took a rather circuitous
jour­ney through those famil­iar Waters of Home, Secu­ri­ty and Centeredness.

Now of course for each of you, your own
posi­tion of Mer­cury, and its par­tic­u­lar align­ments or aspects with­in your own
chart, forms the fun­da­men­tal deter­mi­na­tion, the crit­i­cal fac­tor for how you per­ceive, process
and com­mu­ni­cate in your life…But know this, as tran­sit­ing Mer­cury moves through the Twelve
Signs every year it cre­ates for you this need and oppor­tu­ni­ty to experience
your nat­ur­al sen­si­bil­i­ties as they become mod­u­lat­ed through these oth­er facets that are the Cir­cle of Life, the oth­er signs of your Zodiac.

After all, every sign is with­in you, for
you are the Zodi­ac as much as it is around you too. You are a unique fusion of
these Twelve Ener­gy-Forms, your true nature found in these vari­a­tions of
Plan­e­tary and Sign com­bi­na­tions, and this ful­crum of ener­gies cre­ates the individualized
self-unfold­ment or self-becom­ing of your fac­ul­ties and aware­ness, revealed by your own Astro­log­i­cal Chart…But all of the Signs are present,
active and inte­gral to your com­plete expe­ri­ence. You must under­stand and master
them all, for this is how you become Self-Mas­ter­ful in this life, and in Life
after Life to come. 

Your rather exten­sive sojourn in Cancer
is done for this year, it is time now to shift your Mer­cu­r­ial sensibility…You
are mov­ing out of the Waters and into Fire. Hav­ing forged deep­er con­nec­tions with
your ori­gins and roots, you should feel a greater cen­ter­ing and purposefulness,
and as a response you will expe­ri­ence a resur­gence of your need to express yourself
more tru­ly, as your new-found authen­tic­i­ty springs from, moves out from this Well-Spring
of your Source.

It is time for your mind to leap from
those waters and into the Fires of Leo…It is time to stretch your mind, to
per­form upon a new stage, to act through a new role, to reveal the love that is yourself…Your mind needs this
now, to be rec­og­nized and appre­ci­at­ed, for you take your delights in Leo by and
from “The Performance”…You find your joy in Forms of
Self-Real­iza­tion, for you need to know that “I am that, I am”.

But then you must turn this experience
around, and con­sid­er not only what you have but who you are and need to
offer…For as much as you may yearn and desire recog­ni­tion and respect, to be
self-ful­filled, hon­ored and seen by the oth­er for who you real­ly are…so also
does the one who offers this to you.

You can­not have what you will not
give…

You must look upon the oth­er as
yourself.

Return­ing their kind recog­ni­tions by your
own, you

Smile, as you look them in their soul-filled
eyes and say,

“I See, I see who you are…

I see and Love you
too”.

The Mir­ror of your Heart and Soul has
turned away…now as your Sun sets there is only Mys­tery and Dark­ness, and
you must won­der, you must wait and hold your breath…

Seek­ing an answer, you lift your head up and gaze out upon those star­ry expans­es, those spaces of Space so
illu­mined now by Luna’s month­ly absence, and you won­der as you look upon what the dark reveals…for there it is, what sur­rounds you, (and what you are made
of), is a mag­is­te­r­i­al, won­drous­ly beau­ti­ful and Infi­nite Realm of Light.

Still, you are wait­ing and await­ing what
now will come…from that last flash of dusky light until first blush of
dawn…waiting, wait­ing for the New Day, for a Renew­al, for your Faith restored.

Today the Moon receives the gift of your
Star, as the Sun kiss­es the Moon he bestows a new Mes­sage that Luna will bear…she
will wing her way to those out­er bounds beyond the Earth, wax­ing towards her
rev­e­la­tion as she makes her way once again…She will be danc­ing for you,
singing her song of Spir­it, bear­ing won­drous gifts…

Luna brings the Gift of the Spir­it, so that you might bet­ter pon­der and hold to your own jour­ney, which is
for you but one mighty task: To know your­self tru­ly, to become what you will
be…to Grow.

Twelve Lessons of Life, each inte­gral to
one anoth­er, this is the Light-Song of Spir­it, your spi­ral jour­ney through the Stars,
filled with count­less vari­a­tions of octave, tem­po and truth…All must be met
and mas­tered, for all togeth­er depend upon each to make you whole and make whole this Cre­ation too, all
sparks being self-illu­mined and unique, yet held togeth­er in One Great Song.

The Gift of Leo is offered now, the gift
of your heart, of the flame with­in. The force that holds you and all of Creation
as one, bind­ing all to One and one in all, is the same Light Divine found in
every part and par­ti­cle, in every cor­ner of this vast Uni­verse, and you know it,
most beau­ti­ful­ly and sim­ply, as Love.

This is your Burn­ing Bright, the Light
that is the Uni­verse, which sur­rounds you, bathes you yet also abides within
you too…for Love or Spir­it is not “out there”, but it is here
with­in you…for it is you, as it is the fun­da­men­tal Ener­gy-Sub­stance of all of
Cre­ation too.

The Gift of Leo is to remind you that
you are a Divine Being…

That you are on a won­drous jour­ney of
self-dis­cov­ery and self-becoming…

And you are here to reveal, release and
express your love…

As a Dream­ing Mak­er, an Illu­mined Creator…

Lov­ing your­self and one another
too.

Free­dom
and Desire

Anoth­er ques­tion is traced across your Star­ry Spaces…

Are you hear­ken­ing to the Wind of the Spir­it, lift­ing you clos­er to your Path of
Freedom…

Or are you still more unaware (and so
ensnared) by your more defen­sive, self­ish and Self-Destruc­tive Desires?

For your Hope and Faith are found­ed upon
this Key, that you stay aligned with your True path of Growth which is found in your attentiveness
to that small, gen­tle voice of your High­er Self, and so guid­ed by this Loving
Illu­mi­na­tion you may firm­ly place your­self upon the Path of those who have gone before you…a Gold­en, Noble Path: 

Right
Think­ing, Right Action!

Mars is your Avatar of Action, serving
you always as you seek to extend and secure for your­self what­ev­er you
under­stand to be your aim or inten­tion. But that is the key to how Mars will work
in your life…Your Under­stand­ing or Lev­el of Con­scious­ness is the key element
in ascer­tain­ing what is your Moti­va­tion (and so what it is you Desire or Aspire
to)…and it is this which sets in place your Aims and Inten­tions, and from
these there unfolds those Actions which nec­es­sar­i­ly fol­low from these
Ener­gy-Forms of your Consciousness.

Uranus is your Avatar of Aware­ness, known
as the Awak­en­er, he brings to you the gift of a Freer Mind so that you might
lift your aware­ness to a high­er plane of per­cep­tion and under­stand­ing. Behind
and beyond the Log­i­cal or Rea­son­ing Mind, and what is actu­al­ly the very Source,
Sup­port and Inspi­ra­tion of your “low­er mind”, there resides what is known
as the Bud­dhi Con­scious­ness or High­er Mind (or Man­as), which is the Intuitive
or Know­ing Mind of your High­er Self. 

When­ev­er there is a shift of consciousness,
wher­ev­er great break­throughs in Col­lec­tive or Indi­vid­ual Under­stand­ing have
been (Joy­ful­ly) expe­ri­enced, they have all come through this capac­i­ty (which
resides with­in you because you are a won­drous spark of the Divine)…This Gift from your
High­er Self inspires you so that you are able to slip beyond the bound­aries of
what is expect­ed and acceptable. 

You can let go of your lim­it­ed certainties
and think “out­side the box”, beyond the par­a­digm of this present
“real­i­ty”, move beyond your old Thought-Forms, of more lim­it­ed Mind and Actions, which have cre­at­ed the dilemmas
and dead-ends of that very state of consciousness…For it is this old way of
Think­ing-Being which is the root cause of your prob­lems, and that giv­en those
shad­owed assump­tions, those obsta­cles remain unsolv­able at your low­er lev­el of understanding.

And so Lord Uranus, as the Avatar of
your High­er Mind, leans in and releas­es those Bolts of Light…and you can see
beyond your Self-Cast shad­ows, beyond the bound­aries of what is possible…to
what has been as yet only a dream…and you see it there, the New World…It is
a realm found­ed upon Freer Minds, Inspired to more Self-Ful­fill­ing Actions made
pos­si­ble by these Freer Spaces of greater Self-Real­iza­tion for you and your
companions.

And here too is part of the les­son and
wis­dom that is illus­trat­ed here for you by Uranus and Mars…for your Free­dom is not
for you, or not for you alone. Because Free­dom can nev­er be so expe­ri­enced or
even exist…Your exer­cise of greater Self-Real­iza­tion depends upon build­ing ever
bet­ter Shared Sacred Spaces where each and every Self-Unfold­ing Self can also
seek their Self-Real­iza­tion, to ful­fill them­selves as you do likewise.

Your Actions to cre­ate a greater space
of Self-Real­iza­tion can­not come from tak­ing the space of anoth­er, your Free­dom can­not be “tak­en” from
anoth­er, for this is also For­bid­den to you. Kar­ma is per­fect, and how you treat anoth­er is what will be returned to you…some day. 

The only way to ful­fill your­self is to grow
the space of Free­dom and Self-Real­iza­tion for one anoth­er, to grow togeth­er in Wis­dom and Right Action, to build and grow your own Sacred Space which can only exist and inte­gral­ly depends upon these Shared Sacred Spaces that you cre­ate with and for one anoth­er. For who is before you is anoth­er spark of the Divine, they are you and you are they…forever.

And those who have gone ahead…

Who have reached that far­ther shore,

of lib­er­a­tion and beauty.

They now turn and wait, 

They extend their hearts and hands…

For they know that Free­dom will be…

When all have reached…

That beau­ti­ful, sacred shore. 

Nir­vana, Elysium…

Free.
