​It is a NEPTUNE MOON tonight
One evening before our full moon tomorrow. The moon is right beside Neptune in the sky. Neptune is only visible with telescope assistance.
We sure can feel the
King of the Sea, The Poseidon
Mighty Trident!
Sitting in the water flow of Aquarius
I loved this description of the powers of Neptune (Percy Jackson myth style)
“Abilities
Hydrokinesis: As the Lord of the Sea, Neptune has absolute control over water.
- He can withstand any amount of water pressure.
- He can generate water from his body.
- He can use sea waves as a form of teleportation.
- He can breath underwater.
- He can communicate with sea creatures.
Geokinesis: Being the god of earthquakes, Neptune has the ability to cause earthquakes, giving him the nickname "the Earthshaker".
Atmokinesis: As the god of Storms, he has absolute control over the weather.
Aerokinesis: Neptune is also known as the god of storms since he controls the weather over the seas. He can create thunderstorms and hurricanes. However, he can also create clear skies for sailors if he wants. As god of the seas, it is unknown how far this power may extend over land.”

Sunday September 5, 2021
Spica, the brightest star in the constellation Virgo gets a visit from Venus this weekend. Exact conjunction is a Sunday Sept 5. Viewable just after sunset.
Vibrant Bright Venus joins Spica in the sky....boosting us with light, showering us with LOVE and JOY. A very auspicious alignment. Enjoy!
Spica
Key Qualities: Knowing, Celebration, Completion
“Spica speaks to the deepest part of us, bringing our depths up to the surface, so that we may know beyond doubt that we come from love and return to love in every cycle of existence, whether that is a lifetime or a breath. It takes us into the stillness of our being, the knowing that is beyond knowledge. It guides us to acceptance of the essential oneness of all life. There is a natural response to arriving at the knowing of oneness which we might call celebration. It is as if the burden of the illusion of separation, in being released, also allows a joy to bubble up within us, and that joy seeks expression.” - from heaven on earth.co
“In the days when all we knew about our world was whatever we could see, when we stepped outside and looked up at the heavens, and beheld the vast array of stars, it was (and still is) such an uplifting experience. In time, as people began to notice that cycles in our lives coincided with certain patterns of the motions of the heavenly bodies, and this was the birth of Astrology. One might say that we have projected our meaning of life onto the objective stars in the skies – and one must ask oneself why did people do this? And why has it lasted over thousands of years and is still being practiced today? For anything to stand the test of time, there most definitely is something deeply relevant to it in our lives.
As people observed the stars and earthly phenomena, they collated experience and noted down about 30 of the most brightest or most influential stars in the sky. One of those stars is the star called Spica. Astronomically we know that it is a binary star system, but I will be referring to it as “a” star.
Spica is the bright bluish star in the wheat stalks held by the Lady in the Sky – the constellation Virgo. It is regarded by all sky cultures as one of the most positive stars in the sky. In most cultures, the constellation Virgo was seen as the Goddess. In ancient Egypt, particularly the later periods, it was seen as the Goddess Isis, and the star Spica represented or embodied her son, Horus. In later Christian traditions, the constellation was associated with the Virgin Mary and Spica with the Christ-child (there is much research into the possibility that Spica was the biblical Star of Bethelehem). Others have the constellation representing the Goddess with Spica the star in Her hand or upholding some form of produce of the earth (most usually wheat).” - from spicaastrology .com

​MARS MERCURY CONJUNCTION
AUGUST 18, 2021
Close approach in our sky of planets Mars & Mercury
It is possibly possible to see them just after sunset with aid (binoculars or telescope) but unlikely with naked eye.
But we sure are feeling it!!
They set by 8:20 pm ish EST

This astronomical alignments brings together HEAD & HEART IN UNION.
This alignment is a HUGE opportunity to align what you feel with what you think and know. On the deepest of deep levels.
Both as you receive info….does what you are hearing or seeing align with what you hold as highest in your heart field?
If not, no need to plant a seed or thought in the mind field. Move on. This info is not yours.
And as you transmit.
Are the words your are speaking aligned with the depth of your being? With compassion for all of life? Is this your highest expression?

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.
