Hello Friends
 
I had an amazing synchronous magical andara moment just now that I want to share with you.
 
Those of us that are Andara Stewards (those of us that reunite Andaras with their guardians, aka andara “salespeople” – I put in quotes, because those of us that do it “of the highest order”, it has zero to do with sales or $$)
 
Andaras give VERY specific precise “instructions” on how to activate them, the timing of everything, whom they are meant to work with, how they want to team, when they are ready to be listed, what activation action they want me to preform before they are “ready”.
 
For example, this year, the Aquatic Realm teams that I am a steward of, told me they wanted to first be assembled into teams for Gridkeepers, then brought to the ocean, activated in the sun and surf and sand.  It was my utmost pleasure to do this, one of my most favorite things.  It also involves a “photo shoot” as that is how the andaras transmit their soul call and codes to the new guardians.  And how you can see which pieces you might want to connect with.
 
In early October, over a long weekend, my family rented a cottage by the sea (as multi tasking gridkeeper mommas like to do).  The teams that were ready to activate at that time came along on our journey.  Each morning at sunrise I brought a few sets over to the ocean for coding.  Super fun, for real my favorite kind of activity.
 
Then, the sets/teams come home with me, and I have several activation/coding stations around my house and at inner space.  Where the teams and pieces “code up” and integrate, until they are ready to be listed on the website and “call home” to their new guardian.
 
Even though this team I am about to share with you coded ocean side in early October, I did not get the “go signal” to list it on my Live As Light Andara website until today.  In fact, I had other plans for my workday today, but….when the call is LOUD, the stewards answer.
 
SO – I have spent the better part of my day on my computer here at Inner Space, listing new teams/sets ready to go out to new guardians.  Today -the aquatic teams are UP – specifically the Golden Dolphin/Cetacean teams. I listed many new ones.  This last team, I had not yet named (or it had not yet named itself).  And I kept hearing – Sea Dragon, Sea Dragon, Sea Dragon….SeaFoam SeaDragon, so that is what it is named.

And then human Julie brain piped up and said….are sea dragons even a THING??  So I googled it.  And, lo and behold, just a few days ago, 
“An astonishing fossil of an extinct 'sea dragon' discovered by a wetland conservationist one day at work has been hailed as the largest and most complete fossil of its kind ever found in Britain.”
 
Say what now?? For real?? I had not heard this news story, but apparently the Andaras had, or they “knew” it was TIME.  Humans were ready for them now.
So much goes into the process of stewarding these amazing Andaras.  From selecting the pieces I am meant to work with, to preparing them with love and affection, attention, to teaming them together, to activating and galactivating them, and taking them on adventures.  Photographing, and overall loving them up.  Listening with every sense to the process, heeding the calls.

I also got a chance today to go back and look at my pictures from early October, when this set activated at the ocean, and you can see in the clouds how the sea dragons came forward then.  Please click through and look at the pictures.  They tell a TALE!!  I even included a photo bomb from my son in there – he is very dragon connected. Here is a link to the article from this week about the sea dragon fossil being found in the UK this month:  https://www.sciencealert.com/giant-sea-dragon-unearthed-from-mud-is-the-largest-ever-found-in-the-uk
 
It is all AMAZING, fantastical, magical beyond words….AND also something that happens “on the regular” when you work and play with Andaras.
I am one lucky ducky to have this in my life!!
 
Is it your turn to play??

The planet Venus moves close to the Sun in our sky.  The exact Venus Solar Conjunction is January 8, 2022.  We ended 2021 with Venus as a blazing evening star, bright and visible in the west at twighlight and after sunset. Before the conjunction, Venus disappears from the night sky, and is swallowed from view by the sunlight.  Venus will remain "invisible" - as in we are unable to see it, for several days prior and post conjunction.  After a period of invisibility, Venus will be visible pre dawn in the morning sky, when we call it a Morning Star.  Let's call that the "Venus Cycle".

Ancient Skywatchers in many cultures paid very close attention to this Venus cycle.  Venus disappearing from view was equated with a descent into the Underworld, and the planet's "rebirth" into the morning sky was equated with a rebirth, a resurrection, a renewal.

The sunset picture from above I took on Monday January 3.  This brilliant pink orange golden amazingly bright sunset occurred after weeks of grey sky, and on the heels of a grey cloud covered day.  It was truly breathtaking and spectacular!  As it was happening I noted - these are Venus skies (as many of us associate these colors with Venus) - and it truly felt magical and otherworldly.  I felt strongly that these skies were a reflection for me of the Venus Cycle opening.  

What was also amazing to see is so many friends, from across the country, share similar pictures that same sunset.  VENUS CYCLE IS OPEN - was the message I received, loud and beautifully clear.

This morning, January 6, 2022, is the Cosmic Rising of Venus and the Sun. (Cosmic Rising is a Celestial Stargate alignment when two objects rise together.). This takes place around 7:15 am EST.  Know that when you see the sun rise today, and as you gaze at the sun anytime in the next several days, that you are receiving light from both the Sun and Venus, both broadcasting and coding together.

DESCENT INTO THE UNDERWORLD
Many ancient cultures would consider this the time where Venus has descended into the underworld.  The ability of a planet, or a deity, to descend into the underworld, and emerge into the sky, heavens again was considered a supreme power and greatly worshiped.  Many mythologies, gods and goddesses emerged to represent and tell the tale of this powerful cycle...Innana in Sumerian, Ishtar in Babylonia, Quetzalcoatl in Mesoamerica, and many more.

ASCENT INTO THE SOLAR WORLD
​We as modern sky gazers have come to understand that what is truly happening is an ascent of Venus into the SolarWorld.  This planet is consumed by the sun's light, and it has not disappeared for good.  We can chart that it will return in the morning sky after a period of invisibility. Depending on where you are and how your land lies that is around January 12-14, when Venus emerges into the morning sky, visible with Mars just before sunrise in the eastern sky.  By January 20 - 22, Venus and Mars will be right in line with each other in the morning sky, growing closer to each other prior to their conjunction on February 16 (part 2 of the Venus Mars triple conjunction cycle, a story for another day).

This amazing bright green andara has been in my collection since I purchased it to "stand in" for Venus in my crystalline grids for the Venus Pleiades conjunction in April 2020.  This andara solar activation depicted below is from September 26, 2021.  I chose this color green as a Venus hue, to match the abundance of Olivine/Peridot believed to be on the surface of Venus, as a product of its many volcanoes.  You can read more about that if you wish here: https://earthsky.org/space/evidence-active-volcanoes-venus-olivine

Allow this current Venus Cycle to assist you in any inner transformations you have going on right now.  We are, individually and collectively, undergoing HUGE cycles of death and rebirth, descending again and again into the depths, and emerging into the light of day, as resurrected Morning Stars!

​COSMIC RISING OF MARS & ANTARES
JANUARY 1, 2022

The First Morning of 2022 is ushered in with Mars & Antares in a COSMIC RISING.

A Cosmic Rising is a form of celestial stargate, where two celestial objects rise together in the east.

You can read more about Antares here:
​https://www.space.com/moon-mars-antares-skywatching-january-2020.html
https://astrologyking.com/antares-star/

Just before the sun rises, starting around 5:45 - 5:55 am EST, Mars rises in the East with the star Antares.  Above and between them sits the crescent moon.

Antares and Mars have similar appearances in the sky.  Astronomers actually named Antares as the "not mars" star when it was identified, for they were often confused for each other in the night sky, for their similar reddish orange hue.

While seemingly similar in hue, they are VERY different celestial bodies, and that becomes apparent when they are placed side by side like this.

Mars is a terrestrial rocky planet.  Antares is a supergiant massive star.
One is receptive and reflective, one is a producer of Light, Heat and Plasma.

Both have indicators of FIRE, COURAGE, FIERCE WARRIOR determination in their mythologies.  Mars & Antares were in exact conjunction on Dec 27 - read more here...

All this fire power is tempered on this last morning of the year by the sliver of moon between them.
May all cool calm heads prevail.  May the fire determination and warrior spirits embodied by Mars & Antares lead you to new discovery, new explorations, new avenues of adventure.

MERCURY CONJUNCTS PLUTO
DECEMBER 30, 2021Mercury slides next to Pluto in the sky tonight!  
A powerful conjunction and planetary meet up!  

Visible just after sunset in the western sky.  Venus will be big and bright.
You can connect with this alignment more than see it.
You might be able to see Mercury, depending on your location and sky condition and light pollution. Binoculars are helpful to spot dim Mercury, to the left of bright Venus.  
Pluto is being conjuncted and blocked by Mercury, and is too distant and dim to see without a strong telescope anyway.

Mercury and Pluto meet up can assist you with unearthing and deconstructing deeply healed mental constructs.  

From Astrology King website:
" Mercury Conjunct Pluto TransitMercury conjunct Pluto transit adds depth and intensity to your thinking and communications. This is a good time to get to the bottom of troubling issues. You can uncover secrets through study and research, or through probing and questioning others. You can more easily gain a thorough understanding of mysteries and occult subjects like astrology.
Psychological self-analysis is favored. This would be an excellent time to visit a counselor or to gain a greater understanding of the dynamics of the relationships you are involved in. On the other hand, you can also use your mental powers to deceive others. You have a great power of persuasion and can influence other people. You can share spiritual truths just as easily as spreading propaganda.
It is likely you will be more interested in serious subjects and may become involved in the darker side of life through criminality or addiction. Power struggles are possible at the intellectual level, and this could involve thought projection and other non-verbal ways of psyching people out.
Nervous conditions are possible due to the intensity of your mind and the serious nature of the topics you may unearth. It is also possible that other people will find you too overbearing or interfering as if you are staring into their soul. Your power to influence can make others feel threatened. Relaxing will be important if you do find the intensity too much.
It is possible to make profound discoveries during this transit. You may discover something very revealing about yourself, from deep within your soul. This may include spiritual links with ancestors and could lead to a spiritual transformation or sensation of transcending the physical limitations of your body."

​MERCURY & VENUS CONJUNCT
DECEMBER 28, 2021
Mercury & Venus meet up in the sky today!Pluto is in the neighborhood too, dialing in to its own December 30 conjunction with Mercury.
Visible only briefly at twighlight, Venus bright, Mercury very faint (binoculars help much if you want to see the light of Mercury).

​MARS CONJUNCT ANTARES
DECEMBER 27, 2021
Mars Antares Conjunction Corridor
December 26-31, 2021 with
Cosmic Rising on January 1, 2022
Mars makes a sunrise conjunction this week with its legendary “rival” — the star Antares, “The Heart of the Scorpion” in the Scorpius Constellation.
The two rise on the eastern horizon just before dawn for the remainder of the 2021 mornings. Mars rises just before Antares on Dec 27, and later and closer to Antares each day, until they rise simultaneously on January 1, 2022 (called the cosmic rising).
Look for these two rivals in the east about 45 min before sunrise on the mornings of December 27, 28, 29, 30, 31. The crescent moon joins them on the last morning of 2021- December 31, 2021.
Antares gets its name because it resembles Mars. Both bodies look reddish orange, and both are bright. Ancient skywatchers thought of Mars and the star as rivals, so the name Antares means “rival of Ares,” the Greek version of Mars.
Antares lies along the ecliptic path the Sun and planets follow across the sky, so it is frequented by the sun, moon and the planets. And every couple of years, Mars passes quite close to it.
Of course, any rivalry between a planet and star is one-sided. Mars is a ball of rock and metal a bit more than half the diameter of Earth. It looks red or orange because its surface is coated with orange dirt.
Antares, on the other hand, is a supergiant, which makes it one of the biggest stars in our region of the galaxy. If Antares replaced the Sun in our own solar system, it would extend beyond the orbit of Mars — putting a quick end to its famous rival.

​BIRTHING SUN
Our Sun is hanging out with THE BIRTHERS. SOLARIS (our sun) is sitting between Trifid and the Lagoon Nebula in the sky today.
Nebulas are plasma rich star nurseries, where baby stars are born! Like humans, stars are also born at a certain time and place, and their birthplaces are what astronomers call nebulae or star nurseries. The name nebulae came from Latin, and it translates to English as "cloud." The nebulae do resemble a cloud, because of how they appear to us at night.
The Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8 ) is a bright emission nebula in the constellation Sagittarius. It is an active stellar nursery, an area of dust and gas in space where stars are formed. It lies about 5,000 light-years away, near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy in the rich starfields of Sagittarius.
The Trifid Nebula is a colorful combination of nebulae types that unite to create a celestial work of art. Cataloged as Messier 20.
It lies approximately 5,000 light-years away in a nebula-rich, crowded starfield area of the night sky. It is often photographed next to the nearby by emission nebula, M8 (the Lagoon Nebula). Its name means “divided into three lobes”, as the dark nebula in this object creates the apparent “gaps” within the emission nebula portion of the Trifid.
Messier 20 includes a unique combination of an open cluster of stars, an emission nebula, a reflection nebula, and a dark nebula. All of these elements combine to create one of the most stunning deep sky objects in our night sky.
This is not a visual thing, to try to look at in the sky. All you will see is the sun.
When the sun sits next to another celestial feature, like a nebula, we can feel the energy flow of that neighbor in the sun rays, sun codes.
We’re all made from stardust, but it’s in these star nurseries that we’re actually from!
The sun moves into this sky spot right after the December Solstice every year. For those of us in the northern hemisphere, this coincides with the “birth of light” as we move into the cycle of longer days. And Southern Hemisphere, it conincides with summer solstice, full solar expression.
