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 GOLDEN GATE OF THE ECLIPTIC
Unlocking the KEYS from the SKY TABLET OF TAL-QADI
 
My ancestors are from Malta (my birth name is Bonnici). The temples on Malta have been calling me very loud for many years. I feel like my natural proclivity for sound codes come from this lineage and DNA line of mine. One Maltese Temple in particular started projecting codes my way and calling to me super duper loud during this Mars Pleiades gateway. Tal Qadi Temple. In the ruins and wreckage of this ancient star temple was found an etched stone, that is thought to be a star map. This stone is considered by some to be the oldest astronomical tool or sky map, dated around 4,000 BC.
 
The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism (recognizable grouping of stars) in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years. The constellation is built by the two eye-catching open star clusters of the Pleiades and the Hyades that form the two posts of a virtual gate at the two sides of the ecliptic line.
Since all planets as well as the moon and the sun always move very closely along the virtual circle of the ecliptic, all these seven orbiting bodies are regularly passing through the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic. 
 
I draw your attention today to this GOLDEN STAR GATE.  This stargate has held great significance for humanity since ancient times.  It is a section of the night sky that calls loudly to many of us, the Sirius, Orion, Aldebaran, Hyades, Pleiades region.  

​Uncovered on the Island of Malta in excavations of 1927 was an etched limestone tablet.  Now known as The Sky Tablet of Tal-Qadi, this tablet is an ancient star map and astronomy tool.  Used around 4000 BC, this sky map/tablet shows us the passage of the Sun, Moon and the five visible planets through the Golden Gate.

2021 Golden Gate Alignments
 
Mars – March 7-19
On March 7, 2021 – Mars entered this Golden Gate
We are in this illuminated gateway until about March 19 when the moon joins Mars in this Golden Gate.

This slideshow shows day by day alignments from May 3 - May 30, as Mercury, Venus and then the Sun flow through the Golden Gate inMay, 2021.  Screen shots from my iPhone app, Sky Safari.

Golden Gate in May 2021 
We have Mercury, Venus and the Sun flow through this gate:
Mercury          May 2 - 6
Venus             May 6 - 15
Sun                May 16 - 29
 
The Golden Gate of The Ecliptic also serves as a moon “observatory”.  As the Moon passes through the gate over the year, it moves through its various phases.  In fact, if you watch the moon pass through this gate through the 12 months of the year, it will highlight and showcase the progression of the moon through its phases.  I continue researching on the building of stone archeoastronomy calendars and tracking of Lunar Standstills and how our ancestors used this gate as a marker to design these lunar calendar sites.
 
There is a correlation between Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, Pilot Mountain, North Carolina and this temple on Malta.  All three sites sit around the 36th longitude parallel.  They all hold some crystalline coding along this parallel, and there is a correlation between the astronomical observation point of the Tal-Qadi temple on Malta, and the astronomical alignment stones set to mark the lunar standstill cycles in Chaco Canyon.

On May 4 & 5, 2021 the planet Mercury moves into the sky next to the Pleiades.  
This close code exchange connection is called an Appulse (read more)

This follows the March 5  Mars/Pleiades Alignment, and precedes the alignment of
Venus with the Pleiades on May 9-11.

Mercury - messenger of the gods, the winged footed quicksilver,  is associated with intellect quick thinking and processing. Communication, analysis and rules the Mental Body.  

Some folks associate Mercury with the lungs, and others say that the parts of the body goverened by Mercury are Bladder, bronchial tube, gastric juice, digestion, intestines, lungs, tongue, mouth, hands, and arms, lower part of abdomen, skin, mind and nervous system.

​When Mercury moves in line with the Pleiades, we get a star code activation of our own inner Mercury energies.  

We have a powerful sky alignment and dance of the Sun, Venus, the Moon, and including Mercury and Uranus too. The Sun, on its ecliptic path in our sky, slid along the sky to the tail of Cetus beginning around the new moon on March 14.  The Sun and Venus traveled together, getting closer and closer to each other until they met up on March 26, in conjunction, right above the tail of Cetus in the sky!
​This auspicious sky alignment opened what I am informally calling the "Whale Window".

As Venus emerged from the sun's glare in the beginning days of April, Mercury came sliding in along the tail.  On April 11, the new moon joined the Cetus party. Mercury conjuncts the Sun on April 19, as the planet party nears the head of the whale.  ​​Here is where we bring in the coding and note the placement of Cetus A. (see previous blog post for more info).  

Friday April 23, Venus, Uranus and Mercury move close together over the head of Cetus.  
Then they make some cool weekend geometries as they code and dance around one another in the sky Saturday the 24th and Sunday the 25th.  Today (Sunday the 25th) Venus is directly under Mercury.  Anyone feeling a tug between head and heart?? This current alignment is indicative of these energies.

There is nothing to look at in the sky with this alignment window.  It is all happening quite close to the sun, and during the daytime.  This is a FEELING window.  Enjoy!

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.

I had a magical sublime morning woods walk the other day, where I was greeted by a large stand of Lady Slippers.  In my area, these special flowers are endangered, protected and a rare sighting.  I have NEVER seen a full field of them like I did on this day.  Usually there are on or maybe two together.  They are elusive.  An encounter is rare and special.  After my own sighting, and posting a picture on Facebook, I had so many friends contact me with similar sightings.  So many people have seen LadySlippers this June around here!  And many have commented on how many there were together, unusually high numbers.  

I have been doing a bit of research about why or how this is happening this spring.  Was it the long cool wet season we had that made just the right conditions?  Maybe.  But you know me, I like to dig a bit deeper and uncover any spiritual or energetic significance as well.  When I saw my field of pink beauties, I had an immediate stellar feeling.  Like they were a constellation, like the Pleiades or Seven Sisters.  Like they were a sign or a message for me somehow.

The art and skillset of reading the signs is called decoding.  Reading and interpreting the codes, the signs you are presented with on your path is a huge exciting thing.  Following that proverbial trail of breadcrumbs is an exciting adventure.

The color and the shape and the overall signature of the Ladyslipper is certainly reminiscent of Venus.  The juicy lush rich pink of the goddess.  Since we are in a strong time of Venus Codes and in an important layer of the 8 year Venus synodic cycles (layers of 8,  13, 584 and 5 - pentagram as Venus dances with the sun and earth) - I had a contemplation, a feeling sense that maybe the strong showing of the Ladyslipper this spring was associated with the Venus energy.

How do I confirm or "back up" an inner knowing and a hunch like this?  With a little online research, I had a jaw drop amazed confirmation moment yesterday.  

Another name for Ladyslipper Flower is Venus' Shoes.
Well alright alright....how much more of a confirmation would I need than THAT?? Woo Hoo!

Cypripedium reginae, known as the showy lady's slipper, pink-and-white lady's-slipper, or the queen's lady's-slipper, is a rare lady's-slipper orchid native to northern North America. Although never common, this plant has vanished from much of its historical range due to habitat loss.
Names: The genus Cypripedium is derived from several Greek words that mean "Venus's shoe" - the slipper. The species name reginae is Latin for "of a queen". Common names also include fairy queen, white wing moccasin, royal lady's slipper, nervine, and silver-slipper.

"The greatest prize of the swamp is our state flower, the showy Cypripedium, the pink and white Lady’s-slipper, a member of the orchid family. No flower, wild or cultivated, is more magnificent than this. The plant is the tallest of the genus and has the broadest leaves and the largest and most beautifully tinted flowers, often bearing two on one stalk. Only North American Indian ladies wear slippers of this style, and the precise always call them moccasins. Goddesses, also, must have approved of this kind of footgear, for the scientific name, Cypripedium, means Venus’ shoes." Published June 18, 1911, Sunday Minneapolis Tribune

A Native Legend - A Chippewa brave had a beautiful sister who always wanted to go along on hunting trips with him. He always refused and if she followed he would send her back. At last, as he was leaving on a lengthy trip, she hid on the trail until he was out of sight, then she followed. In the woods she became lost and could not find her way back. When her brother returned, he and the village set out on a search for her. Villagers started fires to send smoke signals, but a strong wind fanned the flames into the woods and burned a large area, including where the maiden was lost.
When spring came and the snow melted the people found a new flower of pink and white on the hill side, shaped like a shoe or moccasin. The flowers led in a path into to the woods where the remains of the maiden were found. Where ever she had stepped, a flower had formed and they have continued to bloom since.

Thank you sweet Ladyslipper for showing me so much!  You are pure magic and delight! Fairy Queen INDEED!!  I am off to go frolic in the woods and encounter more...if they so chose to bestow upon me their grace.

Venus becomes Dark Star today, as it conjuncts with the Sun. 
Dark...in that we cannot see it. However, the transmissions of Venus Codes are HIGH and strong. Remember how bright and captivating Venus has been in the evening sky? Today the Venus Light, the Venus power joins with the sun. So the Sun is “boosted” energetically as Venus light shines within the sun beams in this close alignment. 

Yesterday, last night, to me felt very much like Liminal Space. Threshold or transition. And I can phrase it no better than Jerry Garcia....
“Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?”

Venus and it’s diamond light codes. Transitive time. Transformative time. Diamond Squeeze continues globally.  Also from the palpably appropriate lyrics of Dark Star .... “Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis”. 
Into the Dark Star we go!!
Venus is in exact alignment with Sun at 1:44 pm EDT today. 
​
Dark Star by The Grateful Dead
Dark star crashes, pouring it's light into ashes
Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis
Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?
Mirror shatters in formless reflections of matter
Glass hand dissolving in ice petal flowers revolving
Lady in velvet recedes in the nights of good bye
Shall we go, you and I while we can
Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?

​On June 3, 2020 Venus is in inferior conjunction with the sun as seen from earth.  This means that Venus is moving in its orbital path between the earth and the sun.  This is a powerful, powerful alignment.  It is “boosted” by the fact that two days later, on June 5, 2020 – we have a lunar eclipse.  So, this week, Sun, Venus, Earth and then the moon joins in to make an exciting “line up” in the solar system. 
 
Venus is now invisible to us on earth.  It is so close to the sun’s position in our sky, that it gets lost or “swallowed up” in the bright glare of the sun.  In ancient cultures, this was a very important cycle to pay attention to.  It heralded many changes and was so important that many cultures build huge markers and temples to honor and co-participate in this dance of Venus. Some ancient cultures believed the “god or goddess” associated with lights in the sky would visit the underworld during such periods of invisibility.  Many myths and traditions are rich with tales of these descents and ascents into and back out of the underworld.  Transformational things would happen for the culture and the beings in these myths around these times.
 
Venus has been such a constant bright light for us in the evening sky for the end of 2019 and all of early 2020. The last Sun Venus alignment was August 14, 2019.  It then climbed higher and higher into our twilight and evening sky.  The planet has had some speculator alignments with the crescent moon, always timed right during or before a big gateway.  It “visited” and code exchanged with many solar system buddies.
It conjuncted with Jupiter on November 24, 2019.  Then cruised by Saturn on December 10.  Made a spectacular showing with the Crescent Moon on December 28, and again Feb 27. Flowed right past Neptune on January 27, again with the Crescent Moon. Venus joined Uranus in the sky on March 7. Reached greatest elongation on March 24. Venus joined the Pleiades in the sky in a diamond display on April 3, 2020 – a once every eight years position. Venus was at its greatest brightness on April 27. Then nestled into a horn of Taurus the Bull with Mercury on May 22, as the Sun aligned with the Pleiades during a new moon.
 
We are in THE MOST powerful global realignment and recalibration and transformation in recent history.  When folks look back at our present moment, it will be the stuff of great stories of transformation and rising up, reemerging from a time of deep darkness into the light.  Just as you have all year, let Venus guide your way.  
 
The Rainbow Feathered Serpent was the Mesoamerican deity who was said to “midwife” and represent the rebirth and ascension of Venus back into light.  As the Morning Star.  Dawn Star. Heralded as a very powerful one.  Venus and its cycles and star light were very important and present for our ancestors.  Transcending the “fear” that we would be consumed in darkness, or that the world was falling apart or coming to an end.  Sound familiar? The return of Venus as a star in the morning sky gave some cultures a “relief” and a chance at rebirth.
 
For now….the next three days in particular…we are on the descent.  Moving with Venus into the depths, and the darkness.  Into the caves of creation within.  Remember that you will, we will emerge again.  INTO and AS the light.  

​ 
On Monday, May 25, a dear friend and fellow gridworker sent me this photograph.  My immediate full field reaction was Quetzalcoatl !!! I myself had a close encounter of the communicative kind with a snake (or two) in my garden over the weekend.  Either I had multiple snakes in my yard, or this one snake basically followed me around for several hours.  He had a LOT to say to us. It was a Parseltounge moment for sure! We also saw the snake stalk, creep up on and swallow a HUGE nightcrawler worm whole.  It was equally horrifying as it was amazing.  The thing was like a third of the size of the snake.  Gulp, down the hatch. This encounter, coupled with my friend’s light encoded light being in the clouds photo was a double sign, double confirmation. This is how we teamwork and download info and encoded wisdom from the Living Library of Light!
 
Now, I have heard of this being Quetzalcoatl, and vaguely knew he was from stories from Central America and Mexico but did not know much more.  Was he a bird turned into a snake?  I quickly started receiving downloads on Quetzalcoatl, both energetic and light code info directly from source, and via some online research and reading. Yesterday the pieces all wove themselves together….and I want to share the intel with you!
 
Points of my reading that grabbed my attention…
 
The Feathered Serpent.  The Rainbow.  The Association with Venus.  The tale of the two brothers, one as the Evening Star and one as the Morning Star.  That Quetzalcoatl is the gatekeeper and conductor of Venus, as the planet transitions from a period of many months’ time being an evening star, bright in the night sky.  To a period of us on earth not being able to see Venus.  When Venus is “consumed” by the sun, when they are aligned in the same spot in the sky, also knows as a conjunction. Then Venus emerges as the Dawn Star.  Many sacred temples in Mexico and Central America are aligned to the setting and rising cycles of Venus.  There is power and importance here!
 
The sacred site Teotihuacan, an ancient Mesoamerican city, on the outskirts of modern Mexico City, has a temple dedicated to Quetzalcoatl – the Feathered Serpent Pyramid.
 
I reached out to another grid worker friend who has spent time in person grid working at many sites in Mexico.  She confirmed and added puzzle pieces to the Teotihuacan and Feathered Serpent awakening story.  We also noticed the lines of flow that run from the Feathered Serpent Pyramid, up through North America, to Niagara Falls, through the snake effigy rich fertile Ohio Valley, along the rivers.  Niagara Falls was where this first picture was captured.
 
The Snake effigy mounds in Ohio and the central plains of North America are all heavily involved in this current reawakening too. I saw the line of awakening light beam from the Feathered Serpent Pyramid site, up through the Arkansas crystal beds, up the side river valley towards the great lakes, in and through Ohio, and on up the way to Buffalo and beyond.  There were many other rays and beams activating as well.  The underground inner earth space energies are flowing so strong right now!!
 
And VENUS. Venus is in the glare of the sun, and is in full conjunction, it’s orbital path passing between the earth and the sun on June 3, 2020.
