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.

Working with starcodes and star wisdom downloads is something I have been training myself to do, by practice, over the last many years. Enhancing my own ability to both be a conduit for these starcodes, as well as embodying, integrating, and then turning them to something that is shareable and grounded enough to be accessible to others. This write up serves to ground and share this incredible experience, but also only scratches the surface of all that I was shown and moved through in my body and with my soul.
 
Orion Mother sits prominently in the night sky, one of the most recognized and familiar constellation.  Just below her belt/waistline sits the Orion Nebula.  This Nebula is a birthplace of stars.  Many of these young stars flow along our spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.  Our arm/branch/star stream of the Galaxy is even named after her, The Orion Spur/Arm.  One could say that Orion is the Cosmic Mother, the Womb Portal, the Birthplace to the stars in our sector of the galaxy.  

Looking at the Orion Constellation, we see 8 major “outline” stars.  
Three Belt Stars (Ainitak, Ainilam, Mintaka), two peak shoulder stars (Betelgeuse & Bellatrix), peak head star (Meissa)  and two base feet/leg stars (Rigel & Saiph).
Under the belt or waist, lies a band of light bright sky, that some call Orion’s Sword, but which I reframe here for us as Orion Mother’s Cosmic Womb.  If you look at the image of the constellation, and view it as a woman standing.  Under her waistline/belt lies the womb of stars.  The Orion Nebula.  Placed just where a human birth portal would be.
 
This luminous sky spot treats our eyes with several bright stars in a row, and a cloud of light.  This Light Cloud is the Orion Nebula. A vast stellar nursery, where young stars are born. Within this nebula, there are 4 stars that depict a diamond formation, that we call The Trapezium.  This Trapezium presented itself to me as a creation portal.  A stargate of sorts for star beings to step into our universe through.  Like a cosmic womb, nurturing and birthing new baby stars.

I had a strong experience of embodying this birthing mother aspect of Orion myself around the March equinox.  The most important point made available to me that I would like to share with you, that might have impact and relevance this year and as we flow through May, is the viewpoint of…. 
 
Orion as Star Mother to the Pleiades sibling stars…STAR FAMILY
​​
This holds especially true for her star children, the cluster we call M45, The Pleiades.  This star cluster is one of our nearby galactic neighbors.  So we “hear from” this cluster a lot more than from stars that are far far away.  The feel familiar, like people from our hometown.  This star cluster has played a large prominent role in ancient earth cultures all over the globe.
 
The Pleiades is a cluster of stars.  A cluster is a group of stars that travel together.  That have the same space trajectory, direction, speed and properties, and are believed to be birthed in the same nebulae or region.  Star Siblings!!
 
While the Pleiades Cluster has around 1000 stars, there are seven that are bright enough for us to see easily on earth with our naked eyes – no telescope needed.  Nine if you are under a very dark sky, away from city light.  This fixed star cluster is easily recognizable, as its grouping and placement make it distinct and easily recognized.  It sits just past the powerful bright alignment of Sirius and the Orion Constellation.  In fact, Sirius, Orion Belt Stars and the Pleiades make a direct alignment line across the sky.  They even set together along the horizon line.       
As such, many stone calendar and stargate sites around the globe are built to catch and mark and interact with the seasonal timekeeping qualities of their highly visible setting and risings. Many cultures have used the Pleiades as “time keepers”.  

​While we honor the stories and myths and traditions of the cultures and ancestors that have gone before us, we hold equal responsibility to be reCreators and to rewrite the star myths for our modern world.  As we awaken to the fact that StarCodes, starlight, star wisdom, star knowledge is for US, in this NOW.  When we actively interact and ascend our own individual human awareness and attention to the incoming light codes.  And these light codes descend and shine the light of awareness and transmissions our way.  Our act of reaching, of paying attention, of activating with the incoming star light makes it accelerate.  The path of what many call planetary ascension.  Is for sure a global, collective “thing”.  But even more potently, it is an individual, soul inspired, present moment by moment attention flow of YOU.  
 
Upgrading our star myths to include the tale with Orion as the Cosmic Mother, keeping after her “flock” of doves, flock of seven children, keeping them safe, cozy and peaceful.

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!

The WHALES came front and center for me again on Easter weekend.  I was celebrating at my father-in-law’s house, on the North Shore.  We had walked over to the fish market to get some for Easter dinner and were talking to the owner about lobster meat prices.  They were exorbitantly high, and we got to talking about it, and she said that lobster boats were mostly grounded now.  Only one could go out per day. As they were prohibited because of the whales.
 
Of course that piqued my interest, as whales have long been a steady shamanic presence in my world. I embarked on a renewed line of whale research, and the restrictions are to protect the endangered Right Whale. If you follow my Facebook page, I did a bunch of Right Whale posts that week, as I was researching. There are less than 400 of these whales left on earth, and the coast of new England and Canada is their spring early summer spot, after their southern migration to breeding grounds off the southern Carolina coast. They are in the Boston Harbor, and off the shores of Cape Cod this time of year, as they head North to Bay of Fundy for the summer.  The Right Whales are special to me, and I even saw one from the shore of Wellfleet last summer, and many on a whale watch years ago. The ocean researchers are so familiar with them, they have many of them named, by identifying patterns of barnacle growth on their backs, and seeing the same whales year after year.
 
Then, as it goes, I was seeing WHALE WHALE WHALE stuff everywhere!  It was like the whale song was calling to me, to re-awaken something in my soul.
 
Working as a “Galactic Shaman” – when an animal speaks to my soul like this, I often extend my research up into the stars and sky. Well, wouldn’t you know, the Sun is passing along the back of Cetus, the Whale Constellation right now!!!
 
Have you heard of Cetus?  It is not a super “popular” constellation, so you are in good company if you have not.  CETUS, the Whale, also referend to as sea monster or sea serpent, and is also known as the Dragon Fish!  Dragon Fish and Whale Constellation?? Ok, now you REALLY have my attention! ;-). One of the known Right Whales off our coast here is even named Dragon! Sadly, she is entangled in fishing gear and in poor health (see source article below for more).

Another thing of note in this constellation is Cetus A/Messier 77.  A barred spiral galaxy, like our Milky Way.  Of major “note” Cetus A has an active galactic nucleus (AGN), and is a strong source of radio emissions. Not all galaxies do this, so this one is “broadcasting”.  A galaxy that is “turned on” and broadcasting from its center, emits a huge jet that travel deep and far into intergalactic space.  If we (earth) are facing this jet, we are on the receiving end of the signal, and then these AGN are called radio galaxies, quasars or blazars.
 
There is a strong link here, the emitting active galaxies and the whale song.  Even portrayed and coded for us in the Star Trek movie, The Voyage Home.
Maybe the whales, in addition to all they do for us here on earth, are singing and communicating with distant galaxies.  
 
Whales awaken for us our own ability to “sing our soul song”.  The broadcast our signals HOME – to our star systems of origin.
 
Thank you whales, we LOVE you so!!!!

​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.

​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.  

WHAT IS A STARGATE??
STARGATES have multidimensional capabilities.  They have many descriptions and uses.  Stargates are many things to many people.  Simply put, they are openings or corridors of light, information, and pathways of star codes. 
 
STAR CODES are light codes that come from a star.  Most light codes ARE inherently star codes.  The distinction is that codes that come from our home local star, Solaris, the sun are most often referred to as solar codes or sun codes or “just plain” light codes. Ya’ know, rainbow encoded sunlight!  Our daily dose. The term Star Codes most often refers to light from stars that are far.  Light from any other star that is not our sun.  Connecting to star light codes is another aspect or “branch” of working with light codes.
 
Solar Light Codes from our sun are descended from the sun to planet earth with the coding of the colors of the rainbow.  We see these sun rays by day, and we work with the codes when the light shines through a cloud, or dances on water ripples or shines through a prism in the window, through raindrops.  We work with light codes shining through glass or reflecting off a mirror or illuminating a crystal or Andara.  Many of us use the diffusion filter of our own eyelashes to play with light codes. As well as our own bodies physical, energy and light bodies as conduits for conducting light.

Star Codes are brought in a bit differently, or more subtly than sun codes. As the light is more of a pinpoint in the night sky.  Simply gazing at the stars initiates a Star Code download.  Spending time, in awe and awareness under the stars gets the job done.  The stars tend to flash or sparkle extra when they are "talking" to you.  Their coded language can include the visual of the star itself moving, or spinning, or pulsing and flashing.  You might be called to investigate, to consult a star chart and learn which star being you are communing with.  To read about the mythology or astronomy of a star.  Ancestors would gather at night under the stars to  dance and share stories.  Many stones would be dedicated as the star watching rock.  Blanket on the lawn at night is modern option. Any way you do it is the right way!  Your awareness is the gate opener.  Let the star light stream in!
 
Types of or Uses of Stargates:
Star Code Light Pathways
​Conjunctions and Alignments (of celestial bodies) 
Sacred Sites used to connect with Star Wisdom
Locations for Star People to land/arrive to earth
Travel Pathways (like wormholes)
Places that you can use your light to receive star codes (and broadcast back)
 
Some are “established” and relatively permanent and dependable (location wise).  Some open and close as you work with them.  Some are YOU, inside you, part of your Inner Space.  Trees function as stargates.  As do some temples, buildings, light-posts, church steeples, towers, flag poles, tall buildings, stone structures, etc.
Stargates are used to work with Star Light Codes and multidimensional communication and travel.

​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.  Astronomically, we know that the Sun has caught up with the Pleiades on its annual path across the ecliptic, the travel path of the sun and planets. On May 22 the sun moves to conjunct the Pleiades Star cluster in the constellation Taurus.  Pleiades are moving into the bright glare of the Sun, and rise and set with the sun, and for those of us viewing from planet earth they are not visible at night. 
 
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 sharing this info with you, so that if you are called, you can actively work with this PLEIADES STARGATE AND GATEWAY energy.  Each of us will be called to work with the energy and star and sun light codes in different and unique ways.  Simply sitting out in the sun, and making an intention to connect with the Sun and Pleiades is "doing it".  You do it by being YOU.  If you are called to draw, dance or move, sing or tone, work with crystals or andaras, all that is amazing too.  Connect in, from your core, to the core of the sun, the core of each star.  Amazing things will happen friends.  You are the light conduit.  You are the light anchor and pathway.  You are a light conductor. Conduct away!!!
From the Source of ALL - to the core of our galaxy, out to each star, including or sun, to you, into the earth.

For those of us that are called to work with this Pleiades Stargate – here are the significant dates.  (and always remember, we work with quantum light and energy grids, so dates are less important than intention)
