We are entering the gateway of THE BEEHIVE CLUSTER (M44)

Sky Gazers and Gatekeepers !
As the sun moves along its ecliptic path through the sky, we turn our attention to the next stargate of the ecliptic....the Beehive Cluster (M44) in the Constellation Cancer The Crab.

The Beehive Cluster is a group of over 1,000 stars, connected by gravitation pull to each other.  This star cluster is one of our nearby neighbors.  In the Orion spiral Arm of our Milky Way galaxy.  Right down the road in galactic terms. 

The Beehive Cluster is associated with the pineal gland in the human body.  This association comes from the fact that in the midheaven (or top of the circle) of a traditional astrology wheel or chart, we have the zodiac sign of cancer.  Also, the location of the star cluster in relation to the body of the crab (as drawn by the stars) appears to be in the “forehead” of the crab. 

This cluster made itself known to me several years back, working with a stone chamber astronomical calendar site.  It is a Beehive Chamber.  Aligned to the setting sun on the June equinox (and many other settings too).  When I was exploring with Sky Safari (the app on my phone, and source for many of the screenshot pics shared in this post) at the Beehive Chamber, i noticed the sun moving in to the area of the sky with the Beehive Cluster.  Buzz Buzz BUZZZZZZZ.....

Many of us feel and sense and intuit that these beehive stone chambers were used as temples of sound.  For vocal toning and chanting.  The monks in Ireland built many temples and dwellings and spaces of worship out of this corbelled dry stack stone beehive shape.  One article I read talked about them being able to hold 10-12 monks standing shoulder to shoulder in a circle.  While the article did not state this, I got the strong and clear message that these chambers were used for (among other things) chanting.  Vocal toning.  Sound healing resonating chambers.
Buzz...buzz...BUUUUUZZZZZZZZ !

​THE MOON
Did you catch a glimpse of the moon tonight??
While the precise full moon is tomorrow afternoon here, it certainly has a full breathtaking capacity tonight.
It is in a section of the sky that is rich with galaxies. Near the constellation Virgo.
In particular is right across from Virgo A/ M87 tonight.
Also triangulated with Spica and Arcturus.
Tomorrow eve, at the moons fullness peak, it slides in a flat triangle with Arcturus and Spica.
With this flat triangle alignment,
Tomorrow morning, the moon sets with Spica (the brightest star in the Virgo Constellation) around 6:30 am. And the Moon rises with Arcturus at around 7:30 pm (EDT).

Mars slides underneath the Pleiades Star Cluster The Seven Sisters.
​IT IS A PERFECT VIEWING WEEK THIS WEEK.
Tonight, where I live the sky just cleared and the full moon rose strong.
In the western sky, the prominent red looking star you can see now is Mars. There is also a orange red, slightly lighter in color Star up in that section of the sky. That is Aldeberan. (Have the moon at your back and look the opposite side of the sky.)
Aldeberan and The Seven Sisters are in the constellation Taurus.
Mars is joining them for a week or two. It is the closest Mars Pleiades since 2006, and won’t come again until 2038.
Their closest approach is March 3 & 4.
All week is good viewing. Mars sets by midnight. So it is best viewed an hour past sunset and before 10 pm.
Just above Mars is the Pleiades Star Cluster. If you aren’t familiar with finding it in the night sky, Is has a fuzzy visual quality.
If you had binoculars, you would see it dazzle. Almost looks like a tiny Little Dipper.
It’s worth the trip outside on this crisp
clear night to see it. And you can bask in the glow of the Full Moon in the eastern sky.

​Ancient cultures used this easily visible and distinguishable star cluster of the Pleiades to signify important seasonal markers, such as the spring equinox, the time to plant crops or the opening to seafaring season. 
 
In ancient myths, this was a time that these stars would descend into “the underworld” or below the horizon.  However, from a modern viewpoint, we know that the Pleiades are moving into the bright glare of the Sun, and rise and set with the sun, so we cannot see them right now.
 
When a star or planet lines up with the sun in our sky we say that they conjunct each other.  During this time, the sun amplifies and sends codes from this star system to us on earth.  We as gatekeepers conduct and welcome this energy and light and star encoded information into our own bodies, and then birth it onto earth and deliver it into the earth grids.
 
I am a gatekeeper for a local sacred site.  It is an astronomical calendar site that aligns to the last setting of the Pleiades in the night sky before this solar alignment.  By paying close attention and using field research and energy exploration, many key alignment dates have show themselves to me…
I have complied my sharing about this corridor on this webpage for ease:  https://www.innerspacehealing.org/pleiades-communications---spring-2019.html

Spring 2019 Significant Pleiades Alignments
​
May 4 – New Moon – Heliacal Setting of the Pleiades 
The last visible setting of the Pleiades.  The Pleiades “goes dark” or becomes invisible from earth from May 2/3 – June 24
 
May 16-23, 2019 - Sun is in Pleiades Zone 
The Sun enters the Corridor of Pleiades Power just before our full moon, this full moon reflects these codes to us - a sweet way to receive
 
Full Moon May 18 – Sun gets cozy with Pleiades
 
Tuesday May 21 - Sun Conjunct Pleiades & Mercury
Mercury provides a quicksilver corridor and ease of heightened transmissions for the Pleiades communication streams
 
June 11 – Venus meets (conjuncts) the Pleiades
The Egyptians associated this star cluster with the Seven Hathors - we will be sharing some Hathor wisdom for this venus line up!
​​
June 21 - Solstice
 
June 24 – Pleiades is again visible from earth, in the dark of early morning before dawn

We sit now on the threshold of an amazing opportunity to align with and anchor in tremendous light.  Our planet, our solar system, our galaxy are all in alignment astronomically to receive another powerful transmission of light and knowledge. 
 
Light is information. It is knowledge.  It is a stream of photons, bundles of energy.  It is a wave, a flow, a river of data through time and space. Most likely the computer you are reading this on is powered by fiber optics, signals transmitted by light.
 
Light codes are just that, information & energy transmissions.  We get light codes daily from the sun.  We get light codes reflected off the moon, off the waters and clouds.  From raindrops and rainbows.  From the stars and planets.  There are particular astronomical alignments that place the earth in just the perfect way to receive light code transmissions from within our solar system, from other starts in our Milky Way galaxy, and from further away - near and distant star systems and galaxies. 

​Imagine with me the orbit of the earth and the planets around the sun.  Imagine you are sitting in a ship high above the solar system, and you could see this dance and flow of planets around the sun.  Then zoom your view back and up from there, and see that our sun and solar system is but one fleck of light in a sea of stars that form our Milky Way Galaxy.  From our vantage point here on earth, the sun, moon and stars appear to move on a black dome above us on the sky.  Scientist call this visual dome the celestial sphere.  Just imagine you were in a planetarium with a domed roof.  The celestial sphere is divided into sections, like the longitude and latitude lines we use on earth.  Because of how the earth is tipped on its axis, the movements of the bodies in our solar system (sun, moon, planets) appear to move on a certain path.  This path is called the celestial equator.  We divide the 360 degree circle into 12 sections or pie shaped wedges, and each section is home to one of the zodiac signs.  The sun moves along this travel path, as seen by us earthlings.  We are familiar with this from astrology - as in, what’s your sign, are you a Virgo or a Capricorn? That question asks and answers, where was the sun on this celestial equator pathway the moment you were born?  Drawing information and inspiration from Astrology is fascinating to many of us.  Have you wondered how and why this information rings true for us so often?  When you read the description of a Leo as a sun sign for friends born in August, why does this resonate?  In simple terms, this is because of the gravity and magnetic forces of the celestial spheres and bodies (sun, planets, moon) on the earth on your birth day.  There is also another important piece, the light codes, the light shining on earth from these bodies, and the geometrical patterns they create from their placements in relation to each other and the earth.

Astronomical alignments are significant on many levels.  We here in December are in an active period of significant alignments.  These alignments offer unique opportunities to receive certain light codes and bundles of photons and information.  We tune our sensitivity to be able to receive these codes and hear the messages coming our way from the stars.  We have been at this task of fine tuning awareness and training for years and many of us for lifetimes.
 
I have been called again and again to pay close attention to this current alignment to the center of the galaxy.  Going back to the celestial sphere, we can map the movements of all of the visible universe on this imaginary dome.  Our Milky Way Galaxy, the swirling streams of stars emanating from the core show up on this sphere.  You may have seen this stellar stream yourself in the rural night sky.  We also map the location of the center/core of the galaxy here too.  The Center of the Milky Way sits at 26 – 27 degrees of the constellation Sagittarius, one of the zodiac constellations that live along the celestial equator.
 
This week, we have multiple astronomical alignments here in Sagittarius.  The New Moon on December 18 is in Sag and is exact at 1:30 am EST.  The Sun moves into a direct alignment with the Center of the Galaxy at 2:57 pm EST on December 18.  And then we have the Solstice on December 21 at 11:27 am EST.  We also have influences of Mercury and Saturn here in Sagittarius during this time.
 
So, what does any of this mean for you, as an aware sensitive being residing here on planet earth? Why is any of this important?  How can you harness or work with this knowledge?  It shows itself to me as vital and important to connect with the source of all life and light – the birthplace of our sun – the core of the galaxy.  This core galactic center is an emanation of the core/center/creation point of the universe.  It is an energy well we can each connect to both as a “refueling station” for the life-force energy in the body and as a source of light and information, inspiration.  And then use these codes, this info to spark our own inner creator self.

Take some time to sit quietly with yourself and listen.  Make a connection to your personal embodied core (your soul center, your solar plexus).  Make a connection to the crystalline core of the earth.  Make a connection to the sun.  Create a column of light connecting these cores and sit or stand within it.  Then connect to the core of the Milky Way.  The light that streams from this core, flows out of the spiral arms of the galaxy, and is rebroadcast through every star that lives in that arm of the galaxy, including our sun. Our sun gets its light and energy from the core of the galaxy.
 
We enter right now an alignment where to us here on earth it appears that the new moon, the sun, and the center of the galaxy are all at the same point on the dome above us, the celestial sphere.  In this alignment we get an amplification and multiplication of the message, the signal strength increases and we get to hear more clearly the light encoded messages of connection, light and life – the song of the universe.  So in this alignment we get a “double dose” of light and energy – from both the sun and the galactic core.
 
I plan to gift myself with some time in quiet, in receptive mode. Under the night time sky.  Watching the stars. Under the daytime sky, watching the clouds.  At sunset and sunrise, watching the colors and listening to the messages.  Let’s do it, and then compare notes later.  Do you see what I see?  Do you hear what I hear?

Love and Light,
 
Julie

This very sacred and moving song was written by Gloria Shayne Baker and Noël Regney in 1962.  It is a very sacred song, and it has been inspiring me and my spiritual path this season, so I want to share this version with you.  Much gratitude to these amazing artists and musicians for birthing this song into the world.

Greetings Friends of Light!
 
We have traveled far and wide and deep in 2017, and now we enter the final month –December 2017.  We are under the influence of many astronomical and astrological influences this month.  It is a time of culmination, of transitions, of newness and we are “coming out of the other side” of a 10 year cycle of transformation (2007 – 2017, five years before and after 2012).
 
Over this month, our Inner Space Voyage will continue exploring the nature of light and energy.
Everyone reading this has familiarity with energy/life-force/prana. The flow of prana though your nadis (channels, streams) governs the health and vitality of your body and mind.  It drives the functions of your energy body.  Prana is the force and flow of life.  It is universal, the source of all life and creation. It is the sustaining and animating energy of the universe.  Have you ever wondered where prana comes from?  What is the source?  What are the distribution mechanisms?  How do we connect to a source stream, how do we refill? To what spring do we go to replenish? 
 
Ponder with me the source of light and heat and life for us who live on planet earth. Our sun is the core of our solar system, all life and light and warmth are provided via its rays.  Life on earth depends on it.  It is the source of the life-force, the prana.  Where does our sun get it’s light and heat and energy?  From the core of the galaxy, from the birthplace of stars, from it’s nebula. 
 
Have you ever contemplated the galactic center?  Take a moment with me now….
Imagine our galaxy, the Milky Way.  See that bright ball of light at the center?  Let’s call that the Galactic Center or Core.  The galactic center is a source of light.  It is the birthplace of stars.  You might even say every star in our galaxy is a transmission of this central light (including Solaris, our sun). That light is delivered from the center of the universe, to the center of each galaxy, and from there to each star in that galaxy.  The same way your human energy body distributes prana through the nadis, via the spiral vortexes of the chakras to each cell.

 
Just as our planet orbits around the sun, our solar system orbits around the center of the galaxy.  On earth, we pay attention to solstice and equinox times to mark the progression of our orbit.  We see directly that where we are in relation to the sun governs our seasons and weather and these cycles are the driving force for our daily lives here on earth.  The solar system, in it’s orbital pathway around the center of the galaxy, also undergoes similar “seasons” or cycles.  The way our solar system is tilted in relation to the galactic equator sets us up for an annual alignment and “boost” of light and source codes from the galactic center.  We are in that gateway of alignment now. It happens through our branch/spiral arm of the milky way.  A galactic stream of light and energy.

December brings an amazing opportunity to align with and anchor in tremendous light.  Our planet, our solar system, our galaxy, are all in alignment astronomically.  From our view here on earth, the core of the galaxy sits in the sky at 26-27 degrees of Sagittarius.   There are certain times of the year that the earth, sun and this galactic core come into alignment.
 
Here are the days that leap out as important energy alignment and “boost” days this month.
 
December 3                Full Moon
December 8                Power Day
December 12             12:12 Code Day
December 13/14         Geminids Meteors
December 18              New Moon
December 19              Sun Aligns with Galactic Center
December 21             December Solstice
December 21,22         Ursids Meteors
December 18 - 23       Galactic Gateway      
January 1                     Full Moon
 
 
I will be offering several Community gathering opportunities in December 2017 to offer tools, tips, techniques to anchor in the light of life. Some here in person, some online.  Something for everyone.  Click here to see the dates and details.
 
And I will be sending out more blogs and email newsletters on this fascinating topic, and welcome questions, dialog, input feedback from each of you!
 
In the light of the silvery moon,

​Astronomical Influences for this Weekend
 
This weekend we have the New Moon in the sign of Scorpio on Saturday Nov 18 (exact new at 6:42 am EST/ 11:42 am UTC)
 
This New Moon strikes me as a good time to nurture your Inner Child – along with the actual children in your life (be they human kids, fur babies, loved ones or incoming spirit babies).  They have been working hard and deserve some extra TLC.  Have a snuggle, be silly, play a game, have a good cry or temper tantrum, eat ice cream for dinner, buy yourself a new toy.
 
And we have another meteor shower peaking this weekend – the Leonids – from the debris stream of 55P/Tempel-Tuttle comet.  This comet has an orbit of 33 years around the Sun.  The number 33 has some spiritual significance (Jesus, Buddha) so I wanted to mention this as it feels significant to me along with the trinity of Code Days of 10/10, 11/11, 12/12 that we are moving through this fall.
 
Comets leave debris fields in their wake, and then earth moves through the stream and the material burns up and emits light codes as we interact.

The dark night of the new moon is an excellent time for viewing the night sky.  If you wake up in the early darks hours of night, grab a coat or a snuggly blanket, head outside and look up!
