Brilliance…Genius…that is what this means…pure Genius!

You meet today with the sec­ond gift from Hermes…you move from the expan­sive gifts of Jupiter to the unfet­tered paths that lie beyond Sat­urn’s rings…you walk the Halls of Wis­dom with Uranus by your side…

When found in a Natal chart, this aspect indi­cates that the indi­vid­ual in ques­tion has a mar­velous capac­i­ty to think freely, to tran­scend the nor­mal bound­aries of con­ven­tion­al truth. They are endowed with the means to move beyond…into the realms of a high­er con­scious­ness and so begin to espy, to make a clos­er approach to what is called true Wis­dom or Cos­mic Consciousness.

Today you will have a brush with your destiny…For you are graced by this gift of the Spir­it as it quick­ens what lies with­in you, waiting…it is a pre­view of where you will reside once you have passed through these nec­es­sary but low­er realms. You must pass through these schools of Intel­li­gence, Thought and Rea­son, as you make your­self ready to approach the Halls of True Enlightenment…

Freed from the con­ven­tion­al, even for a brief moment, you can see the world and the prob­lems con­fronting you in a clear­er light. The old assump­tions, which cast their shad­ows, which formed your self-made lim­its to a more com­plete under­stand­ing, those phan­toms melt away as you look upon the issue (and the oth­er before you) with your Self-Lumi­nous Vision.

You are lift­ed up…you taste that sweet fra­grance from a high­er plane of con­scious­ness where all is new, where there is the eter­nal now, the ever-present, where you will always find your Burn­ing Bright, your Watch­er. You reach that van­tage point from which to view the mat­ter with­out the heavy weight of con­ven­tion­al lim­its, beyond your his­to­ry of regrets and fears…you are freer!

Today is a day to think beyond…to solve the puzzle…to touch the deep­er mind and grace the heart of the oth­er before you…

Today you can let go of the less­er and dis­cov­er the greater…for it has always been wait­ing with­in you…

Your High­er Self, you Know­ing Self, always there…patiently, lov­ing­ly inspir­ing you as you jour­ney upon your path…

To know yourself…to know your world…

Today you will reach within…

and you will touch the Stars!

Today is a day for clear think­ing, today is a day to make your point!

Mer­cury as Her­mes, delight­ing in his role as the Mes­sen­ger, is weav­ing a web between Jupiter today and then Uranus tomor­row. He is help­ing to make avail­able, to bring togeth­er and deliv­er on the promise of that Jupiter/Uranus align­ment from this past weekend…

Today Mer­cury gets an assist from Jupiter and you are able to give (or to receive) rea­son­able advice. You will under­stand your own mind bet­ter and form a deep­er more mean­ing­ful con­nec­tion with the oth­er too…

Found­ed upon this, upon more expan­sive and inclu­sive per­spec­tives, your aims and means, your rea­son­ings and deci­sions will span the divide between I and thou…and you will smile.

Today you will under­stand one anoth­er, bet­ter than before!

For a gift is offered that lifts your awareness.…so that

The shad­ow that fell between I and thou, is part­ed for a while…

You see the veil is lift­ed, reveal­ing won­ders all around…

Today is a good day!

And you will smile…

Your year­ly rhyth­mic sweep­ing arc is turn­ing again, radi­at­ing forth in Spir­it-born ener­gies. Your Spi­ral jour­ney forms into the Twelve Sta­tions of Life set by your Star. Today, that awe­some Solar Life-Force comes home. The return of the Sun to Leo turns your atten­tion outwards…it is time for your Debut…Time to take your act out there. It is time to move upon a greater stage!

You need, you must…you will stretch your­self! You will reach out from your new­found Cen­ter and move with greater con­fi­dence into those daz­zling spot­lights of your life…you must release that truer you, the Bet­ter you that was met and secured in your Can­cer sojourn…

You have left the Waters and now re-enter Fire’s realm. You turn from how you feel to the bring­ing forth through Emo­tion.…you are draw­ing-pour­ing-shap­ing those feel­ings into your Ideals and Dreams of Self-real­iza­tion. For you must express your­self, you must be your­self. You move with Pres­ence and see your­self reflect­ed in acts of self-aware Authen­tic­i­ty. You move into your greater spaces, leap­ing and flying…stretched upon your Wings of Emo­tion! You are Joyful!

To release who you tru­ly are…you first must meet your­self, and accept and hon­or the truth of your being and why you are here…

To be authen­tic, to choose your stage, to make that role your own…this is your Leo task…but there is much more…

You seek for approval, you yearn for recognition…You need the out­ward con­fir­ma­tion that you are appre­ci­at­ed, that you have Respect…but you must give if you are to receive…

The les­son of Leo is the les­son of Leadership…A true leader does not tell anoth­er what to do…They inspire them, they lift them up through the Bless­ing of Faith by say­ing “You can do this!”…and so they shall…For this is the Gift of Spir­it, to open the door through which the oth­er may move into their greater space too!

For every being needs respect, each and every needs to be Seen and Acknowl­edged in their truth…

This is the one, true and only path to the source of joy that each will find in them­selves and through one another…

For this is the core of Leo…this is the Heart of your story…

This Is Love!

Oppor­tu­ni­ty is call­ing, call­ing for you to become more than you can imag­ine. The ques­tion is…will you be open to the turn­ing that it offers, are you will­ing to trav­el upon anoth­er pathway…to take “the road less trav­elled by” for “that will make all the difference”?

Jupiter is mer­ri­ly danc­ing through the realms of curios­i­ty, com­mu­ni­ca­tion and intel­li­gence. The Lord of your Prin­ci­ples, Truths and Atti­tudes is tak­ing great delight in help­ing you to forge new dis­cov­er­ies. You are stretch­ing and extend­ing, com­par­ing and con­trast­ing, test­ing and debating…you go back and forth, you puz­zle over those eter­nal questions…Who am I…and who are You…What do you know, how do you know it…and do you tru­ly understand?

To add spice to your soar­ing search­es, to take you on a turn towards the unex­plored and unfore­seen, to seek for your truth upon a high­er plane…Welcome now the Lord of Awak­en­ing. Uranus, who always takes you by sur­prise, who leads you out upon those unex­pect­ed pathways…he takes you now upon those mind bend­ing ways that lie beyond Sat­urn’s Rings, beyond those bands of your Bound­ed Thinking…

Uranus elic­its through sym­pa­thet­ic res­o­nance, he quick­ens from with­in your high­er con­scious­ness, which is your spir­i­tu­al gift that leads you to your freer mind. By being able, even for a moment, to rise above your bound­ed mind, by what is the com­mon and accept­ed, he lifts you beyond the rul­ing par­a­digms so you can see the world with a more unfet­tered appreciation…deeper, vaster, more nuanced and true.

By shift­ing your aware­ness and under­stand­ing, your chal­lenges will become more approachable…your oppor­tu­ni­ties more realizable…your path more true to the noble mid­dle way of Spirit…

So take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to grow beyond your ordinary…

Look ahead, upon that star­ry path­way you walk upon…

Look ahead and see…your road divides in twain…

Look ahead, seek with­in, look up…

and take the road less trav­elled by.

The Moon pass­es between you and the Sun, she cir­cles round, wax­ing and wan­ing, she moves in and out…She is the weaver of forces, the medi­a­tor between realms, the trans­la­tor of the ener­gies from with­in and from without…she weaves her web of care and pro­tec­tion for you, attend­ing to those who sojourn here on Terra.

Yes, you face anoth­er New Moon, you turn as the sun sets and see the dark­ness fall, the time of great­est shad­ow, your time of waiting…you watch for the meet­ing of the Day-mak­er and the Nightwalker…You wait for anoth­er chance to begin…

Every month the meet­ing of the Sun and Moon cre­ate a new dis­pen­sa­tion for you. The world shifts, the mood changes as you receive a fresh inspi­ra­tion of spir­i­tu­al energies…and this gift lifts your spir­it as it reminds you of your pur­pose and path.

Today’s gift comes from Can­cer, which bestows upon you those famil­iar bless­ings of home. For there is noth­ing more impor­tant than your con­nec­tion to your source, there is no more impor­tant jour­ney than to find the way back to your center.

Can­cer con­nects and affirms the roots of your life, where you may hon­or and cher­ish the foun­da­tions of your being, and of all beings…and this is what Can­cer whis­pers as you cel­e­brate this touch­ing gift, this most won­drous feel­ing of belonging.

Bow your head as the Moon pass­es before you…

Bow your head and give thanks for the bless­ings that spring from within…

Cel­e­brate the feel­ing that you belong, that you are part of some greater company…

Remem­ber this feel­ing, this feel­ing of com­ing home…

And smile!
