April 2009 Celestial Timings
By Cayelin K Castell

As it became dark and the stars began to peek out of the heavens, we all gathered at the main Anasazi ruins, at the highest point of the land. There Daniel Giamario, a Shamanic Astrologer who was traveling with us and teaching his wisdom, invited us once more, as he had on other occasions, to look up with him into the night sky.

Daniel’s knowledge and perception of the ancient ways is truly outstanding. Throughout the journey, Daniel was a star who gave of himself to help others. On this momentous night, he led us into an understanding of the heavens in a way that few of us had ever known. Together we gazed into Galactic Center, as he had taught us, and we spoke our own individual prayers into the cosmos…
~Serpent of Light Beyond 2012 by Drunvalo Melchizedek http://spiritofmaat.com/maatshop/serpent_of_light_info.htm

Serpent of Light is inspiring if you haven’t read it yet. Drunvalo is describing a Southwest Tour in the United States that took place in 2003. It began in Sedona and covered many sacred sites including Canyon de Chelly, Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, Aztec Ruins, Salmon Ruins, and many others. I wasn’t able to join the travelers but I was in Sedona where they were gathering for the initiatory sweat lodge in preparation for the journey. While the sweat lodge was being prepared a large Mohave rattlesnake was seen curled up in the area. Mohave rattlesnakes are rare to see and are considered the most poisonous and deadly of all rattlesnakes. This rattlesnake however was not there to pose danger but as a medicine animal to indicate the transformative forces and blessings at work as the sacred journey began. All these years later it seems that perhaps it was also a foreshadowing of this book Serpent of Light that Drunvalo wrote a few years later.

As Drunvalo indicates in the above passage connecting to the Night Sky is also a blessing and helps us to connect with the intent of these powerfully changing times. Daniel and I are hosting a Night Sky Cosmology Class designed to connect and re-connect us all to the magical link between the Earth and the Sky. The class is taking place April 22-26 2009 near Tucson, Arizona. Details for the event are at this link. Plus, I am extending the early registration date for Celestial Timings readers to April 12, 2009.

Personal Note: Just in case you didn't read this in the Subscriber email....This past month was challenging for me physically due to a flare up of two old injuries I received in my youth. One happened when I was fourteen and I was riding a half wild horse my Mom was training. He reared up and threw himself over backward on top of me. I looked up to see a full grown quarter horse coming right down on top of me. I fractured my tail bone and injured my left hip though truth be told I was lucky I wasn't killed. When I was 26 I was badly whip lashed in a car accident when a drunk driver hit the car I was a passenger in from behind while we were waiting at a stop light.

As I have gotten older I have had to be careful about these injuries as I can get muscles spasms if I sit too much or do too much lifting or standing. Last month was one of the worst experiences I have had with this in many years. I was barely able to walk or sit for about two weeks. It started a couple of days before my birthday and I am still doing extra visits to the chiropractor though finally feeling much better.   Naturally this forced me to slow way down...though I had already been planning on taking more time for myself after a marathon year last year that just didn't seem to end. I had some major event every month during the past 12 months and had many extra responsibilities added as well. I am grateful for them all but reached my birthday totally exhausted. My plan had been to spend more time in nature and do some hiking and catching up with friends.

Instead I got a chance to practice letting go of my picture and be with what was present for me in the moment. I was not very accepting at first and I have to admit I still would have rather been in on the mountain trails around Tucson at the most perfect time of year to do that. However, I am now grateful for the process as I feel my own personal frequency has shifted greatly by having to be still. Self-care has never been more important especially as April is leading us to the BIG triple conjunction of Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron and the vibrational shift is amplifying a bit more each day.   This is why Teri and I have chosen to work with these energies for the April 29 Resonance Repatterning®  session.

Visible Planets (These are the highlights for this month with more details and interpretations shared in the Daily Timings)

Invisible Planets

Stars worth noting in the Night Sky this Month
The constellation of the Virgin Priestess (a.k.a. Virgo) contains seven main stars. Of these sevens main stars the most visible is Spica, meaning "spike of grain." Higher in the sky and off to the right of the Virgin Priestess is the constellation of the Lion. Prominent in the Lion’s tale is the star Denebola marking the end of the tale. Gazing from Spica to the bright red star above it is the bear star known as Arcturus. These three bright stars Arcturus, Spica, and Denebola form a star group that has been called the Spring Triangle or the Virgo Triangle. The best time to view this triangle is April through June looking South Southeast Sunset. See April 9 with more info including the Virgo Diamond…
See this link for in-depth article on the Spring Triangle. http://www.space.com/spacewatch/070608_ns_spring_triangle.html

Meteor Shower

Lyrida Meteor shower peaks April 20-22. The waning Moon supports the viewing of this meteor shower under dark skies. These meteors are swift and bright disintegrating after hitting our atmosphere. They move at a moderate speed of 29.8 miles per second and are known to produce luminous trains of dust that can be observed for several seconds.

Reminder: All the events listed in the Celestial Timings have a minimum three day impact including the day before and the day after. In many cases, the planetary effects extend into weeks, months and even years. Noting the sign and degree of the aspects and planets helps you to know if these events are directly affecting your own natal chart. The Celestial Timings then are a great guide to sensing into how these energies affect us collectively and also when to pay extra close attention to the personal initiations we all go through.

All our life activities are structured by the day, month, year cycles but we forget that these cycles are founded on astronomical data used by astrologers since very ancient times. ~ Cycles of Becoming by Alexander Ruperti (available through Earthwalk School of Astrology http://www.earthwalkastrology.com/)

April 2009 Celestial Timings Daily Timings
Apr 1, Wednesday. The out-of bounds nearly first quarter Moon enters Cancer crossing the Galactic Edge at the center point of the intersection of the ecliptic and the Galactic Plane or Milky Way, known to many ancient cultures as the celestial highway. These cultures viewed the intersection points of the Milky Way with ecliptic as a Galactic Cross, a gateway between Heaven and Earth where souls enter and leave this realm. Many ancient cultures saw the Galactic Edge as the entrance point located at the heart of the Sacred Hoop. This is the area of the sky that is helping to further energizing a mantle of new consciousness during this turning of the great wheel of time. The Moon will be visible overhead if you are outside around Sunset. (See April 2 and 28)

Apr 2, Thursday. The First Quarter Moon (13 Cancer) is zodiacally aligned with our brightest fixed star Sirius located below the ecliptic (the path the planets follow). The First Quarter Moon represents a time of decisive action and Sirius is a star that is associated with Freedom. It is the star that was conjunct the Sun on the Birthday of the United States of America. Sirius assists in liberating us from all the misdirected energies obstructing our evolutionary path. M. Temple Richmond describes Sirius in his book by the same name as “the Great Star of Initiation”. Richmond suggests we enter “humbly and reverentially into meditative contemplation of Sirius, the custodian of occult mystery, for in contemplating this great star-being, we encounter a sacred source of transcendence.” One way to engage this is to note where the Moon and Sirius are tonight and to invite their energies to inspire the actions you take. Again the waxing half full Moon is overhead around Sunset. (See April 1 and 28)

Apr 3, Friday. The Moon moves into Leo until late on April 5 transmitting the mysteries linked with radical, radiant self-love…

…A mighty transformation is unfolding. The spiral is turning. Are you ready to serve the Call of your True Self? Remember Dear ones, to lovingly accept yourselves, to end your denials, to merge into the highest octave of yourselves possible. Then simply be. Your bright, shining spirits shall be as glowing beacons of Light upon this reborn sphere – illuminating all with deep joy and profound peace.
~The Legend Of Altazar by The Hermit Of The Crystal Cave

VenusVenus (3 Aries) begins her new 584 day cycle square Pluto (3 Capricorn). This represents the beginning of an archetypal journey for exploring and evolving the Aries expression of the divine feminine. This timing was so significant to the Mayans, they set their armies marching when morning star Venus appeared in the sky before sunrise Venus. Today Venus is rising up in square to Pluto (making her second square to Pluto since February with the last square occurring on May 2) suggests this Venus cycle is closely linked with the story of Sekhmet as mentioned in the March 2009 Celestial Timings. Any institutions, beliefs, or actions that do not uphold the Cosmic Order will be dispatched by this great Goddess of Victorious Triumph and Justice.

Apr 4, Saturday. 4/4. For years my attention has been drawn to the numbers 444. In recent weeks 444 has been showing up more frequently than usual. I learned years ago 444 represents contact with the angels and recently I have been working with the 44:44 Venus Stargate of Ascension with my Priestess Community (long story perhaps more on that in the next few months). Last month I was reading in Drunvalo Melchizedek’s book Serpent of Light Beyond 2012 and he was saying that whenever you see triple numbers like 444 - pay attention! This number lets you know there is something significant in what you are thinking, doing or what is going on in the environment around you.

Drunvalo says the reason these numbers are so important is they are linked with musical notes in an octave that separate themselves by eleven cycles per second starting with 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, up to and beyond 99 cycles per second and multiples of these numbers represent a perfect “harmonic or moment in time, since the entire reality was created through the harmonics of music.”

These triple numbers (or other multiples) represent a “mathematical moment in time that contains the harmonics of the value of that number”. Drunvalo describes 444 as the Mystery School where we “learn about the Reality”. When you notice the numbers 444 your attention is being called to the Mystery School and whatever is occurring for you is “a lesson around learning about the Reality…such as reading books or studying a subject…” (see link in opening quote)

On this 4/4 day Pluto is stationing retrograde at 3 Capricorn. The Pluto station creates a Still Point revealing more of the shadow structures making up our current reality. Pluto is moving back toward Galactic Center deepening the process of dissolving the enormous political, religious and economic deception, domination, manipulation and control that was designed to enslave through fear. This is especially potent as Pluto sits still from now and until past the Pluto trine with the Sun on April 22 creating an alchemical portal of possibilities to dissolve these shadow elements that have interfered with humanity remembering who we really are. Now is the time to be as awake as possible - consciously integrating and transforming any shadow aspects that are limiting our reality.

And today is also marking the Mars (16 Pisces) opposition to Saturn (16 Virgo) suggesting the compassionate warrior Mars is intended to take decisive action to defend and protect the Earth (Saturn in Virgo) for the benefit of the future generations. This may be as simple as recycling, becoming more environmentally aware, using resources wisely and honoring the Earth as sacred or perhaps you are being guided to take greater action and committing to a cause you believe is just and true.

Apr 5, Sunday. The Moon moves into Virgo reminding us of the grand patterning of life that includes our relationship with the Cosmos, the Planets and the Sun, Moon and Stars. Carl Sagan spoke about this in “Who Speaks for Earth?” http://www.spacetoday.org/images/SolSys/Earth/EarthBlueMarbleWestTerraSat.jpg

Our lives, our past and our future are tied to the Sun, the Moon and the Stars…We humans have seen the atoms which constitute all of nature and the forces that sculpted this work. .And we, who embody the local eyes and ears and thoughts and feelings of the cosmos, have begun at least to wonder about our origins — star stuff contemplating the stars, organized collections of ten billion billion, billion atoms, contemplating the evolution of nature, tracing that long path by which it arrived at consciousness here on the planet earth…Our loyalties are to the species and to the planet. We speak for earth. Our obligation to survive and flourish is owed not just to ourselves but also to that cosmos ancient and vast from which we spring! We are one species. We are star stuff harvesting star light. Carl Sagan, 1934 -1996

Apr 6, Monday. The Moon conjuncts retrograde Saturn (16 Virgo) highlighting the continued deepening of the Saturn transit intended to reconnect us to the greater patterning of life and the importance of honoring the Earth and Sky as a sacred expression of the divine.

If it’s true that we’re all from the center of a star, and every atom on each of us is from the center of a star, then we’re all the same thing. Even a Coke machine or a cigarette butt in the street in Buffalo is made out of atoms that came from a star. They’ve all been recycled thousands of times, as have you and I. And therefore, it’s only me out there. So what is there to be afraid of? What is there that needs solace seeking? Nothing. There’s nothing to be afraid of because it’s all us.

The trouble is we have been separated by being born and given a name and an identity and being individuated. We’ve been separated from the oneness, and that’s what religion exploits. That people have this yearning to be part of the overall one again. So they exploit that. They call it god, they say he has rules, and I think it’s cruel. I think you can do it absent from religion.” - George Carlin, 1937-2008

Apr 7, Tuesday. The Moon moves into Libra later today opening the Libra Full Moon window and drawing our attention to the importance of conscious relationships guided by Spirit or Great Mystery. Sobanfu Some speaks about this in her book The Spirit of Intimacy, Ancient Teaching in the Way of Relationships suggesting now is a time to spend more time in nature, in a garden, with plants and animals and/or with someone you love.

There is a spiritual dimension to every relationship no matter what its origins, whether it is acknowledged as spiritual or not. Two people come together because spirit wants them together. What is important now is to look at the relationship as spirit-driven, instead of driven by the individual.

…Spirit helps us fulfill our own life purpose and maintain our sanity…Spirit…is referring to the life force in everything…people in the West can begin to strengthen their intimate relationships by maintaining their connection with spirit – through prayers, through walking in nature, and dealing with natural forces, through connecting with the earth, the mineral, the fire or the mountains. By spending time in nature and taking time away from the mundane day-to-day living, we allow the part of ourselves that can hear natural beings to listen, so that we can find our connection…

Mercury (25 Aries) is now 60 degrees from Neptune (25 Aquarius) providing easier access to the messages of the Celestial Realms when we are open to receiving them.

Star Map of SculptorThe South Galactic Pole Located near Sculptor (See April 8 and 23) http://www.rasnz.org.nz/Stars/Sculptor.htm

Apr 8, Wednesday. Retrograde Venus is crossing the zero Aries Equinox point for the second time since February. Whenever a planet crosses this galactic and solar (seasonal) gateway there is an exchange of light energy that helps to inform our earthly experience. With Venus at this equinox point we know she is rising due East in the early morning sky and setting due West just before the Sun sets. The Sun is at 19 Aries and Venus is at zero Aries rising and setting just over an hour before the Sun. It is possible to see Venus in the Sky at dawn before Sunrise though of course Venus is not visible as she sets because the Sun is still in the sky.

Venus will cross the zero Aries Equinox marker again on April 23. The Equinox and Solstice Solar Gateways are key points that move through the sky over time due to the tilt and wobble of the Earth. The Aries Equinox point is currently located in the constellation of the Fish (a.k.a. Pisces the constellation not the sign). The Aries Equinox is approaching the boundaries of the constellation known as the Waterbearer (a.k.a. Aquarius the constellation not the Sign) though depending upon how you divide up the sky may not enter this constellation for another couple hundred years. (See Difference Between Signs and Constellations)

This means if we are measuring ages from the Aries Equinox it is not easy to determine when the next age begins. However, if we are measuring the Turning of the Ages by the Solstices now aligned at the exact intersection of the plane of our Galaxy and the plane of our solar system (a.k.a. the Galactic Cross to Earthlings) we know we are at a Grand Turning of the Ages much BIGGER than moving into the Age of Aquarius. This is the Great Turning of the Cosmic Wheel of Time marking the end and beginning of a Galactic Year that lasts about 26,000 years. We are essentially in a Galactic New Year that lasts many Earth years.

When planets cross these solar gateways they are transmitting and receiving the lights codes located here. The Zero Aries point is aligned with the South Galactic pole…something that can happen for a time period every 26,000 years and of course is happening now. The Galactic Poles are angular to the Galactic Plane where the Solstice are currently aligned. The North Galactic Pole is pointing toward the constellation Coma Berenice and the South Galactic Pole is pointing toward the constellation Sculptor. (See April 23 for more.)

The Virgin Priestess with Spicahttp://www.constellationsofwords.com/stars/Spica.html

Apr 9, Thursday. The Libra Full Moon (20 Libra) is visually located near Spica one of the lunar stars used for navigation, lying about 2° south of the ecliptic, and 10° south of the celestial equator. In the book Star Names, Their Lore and Meaning author Richard Hinkley

Allen tells us that Spica is one of the stars that forms what is known as the Diamond of Virgo along with the stars Denebola (in the tail of the Lion), Arcturus (in the Bootes, the herdsman), and Cor Caroli (in Canes Venatici). The Virgo Diamond sky map

 

Canes VenaticiCanes Venatici is one of the two Greyhounds straining at the leash held in the hand of Bootes the Herdsman. These Hounds are aiding Bootes in guiding the Bears (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor) around the pole star, Polaris. The Virgo Diamond features Spica who represents the Divine Feminine in her role as Priestess and Arcturus who represents the Divine Masculine in his role as Guardian Protector. Also featured are Denebola in the constellation of the lion representing the importance of Self-Love in creating conscious relationship. Car Caroli in Canes Venactici is also a guardian and protector as well as a guide. Thus this Libra Full Moon is illuminating all this Star Power and is worth noting.

The Libra Full Moon brings to fruition what we have been energizing in the mysteries of conscious loving partnership with ourselves and others. This requires we do our personal work to heal and transform any fears or wounds….whether conscious or not...as these are the primary factors that prevent us from experiencing conscious equal partnership with ourselves, with the divine, and with each other. When we have done our personal work we can then experience co-creative passionate, productive, harmonious, joyous, fun and loving intimate relationships. The first and foremost important primary conscious relationship is the one we are co-creating with our Self. This Full Moon is a great time to note and value where we are in the journey toward conscious relating while releasing any attachments to our image of perfection or how we believe it should be.

Mercury Moves into Taurus and will enter Gemini for a brief time April 30 before stationing retrograde in early May returning to Taurus on May 14 shifting the lens of our collective perception to a slower, more relaxed pace for the purpose of enjoying and savoring every moment. When healthy, Mercury in Taurus is an antidote for the tendency of the mind to be anywhere but in the here and now. Dwelling on the past and anticipating the future distract us from being in the present moment where our point of power is actually located. http://www.astro-campus.com/articulos/MARFETAN/iconstelaciones/libra.gif Mercury in Taurus is about truly enjoying and savoring the present moment. (see April 19)


Apr 10, Friday. The waning but still nearly Full Moon moves into Scorpio and will be visible approaching the fixed stars Zuben Elgenubi and Zuben Elshamali. These are the two brightest stars of the Scales marking the pans that weigh the sufficient and insufficient price. http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/Libra.html

According to Ray Bogucki historically these stars were added to the zodiacal constellations when Julius Caesar needed one more constellation for his 12 month calendar…

It's interesting that Libra, (a.k.a. the Scales) the constellation to the west, was once part of Scorpius (a.k.a. the Scorpion). When Julius Caesar designed his new Julian calendar, he needed one more Zodiac figure to make twelve for the twelve months. Roman astronomers solved the problem by cutting off the scorpion's claws and designating them as the new figure, Libra the Balance, which is the only inanimate object in the Zodiac.Libra a.k.a the Scales  by Johan Brode, Uranographia, 1801 The history of this event is preserved in the delightfully mellifluous Arabic names for the two brightest stars in Libra, Zuben Eschamali (zoo-BEN ess-shah-MAH-lee) and Zuben el Genubi (zoo-BEN-el-jeh-NOO-bee) which translate into the more prosaic names, Northern Claw and Southern Claw.

However, in historical Egyptian cosmology (pre-dating Rome) this constellation was viewed as the scales of justice weighing the hearts of the dead against the feather (symbolizing truth) of Maat (Egyptian Goddess of Wisdom). In the ancient texts of India, the Sanskrit word for this constellation translates as Tula, the name for the 'Holy Land' located in the north and was considered “the place of Peace” similar to our concepts of Shamballah and Shangri La.

The Key of Life is a secret teaching that enables the Children of Light to enter the Promised Land which is the biblical code for the ultimate human experience. It is called Tula the Sanskrit word for ‘balance’ in ancient Texts. ~William Henry http://www.williamhenry.net/index.html

Noting these stars as the waning Full Moon passes by them marks the Great Above symbol for the Scales weighing toward the Cosmic Balance providing an opportunity to receive a transmission that naturally includes what we need to know to create greater balance in our lives.

Apr 11, Saturday. Venus retrogrades back into Pisces retracing her steps into the realm of Pure Love and Compassion. This is a chance to create a deeper awareness around one shadow of Pisces known as the victim archetype. Having compassion for our challenges is important along with forgiveness of everyone including ourselves. Forgiveness that leads to greater love has the most transformative effect.

Only in the experience of being victimized can you possibly come to realize what lies behind the illusion of victimhood – the projection of your guilt. If you are able to look beyond the illusion of the perpetrator and recognize these actions as a call for love, and if you respond with love and total acceptance, the victim energy is transformed and the consciousness of all involved is raised. In addition, the energy that holds the pattern of abuse disappears and the behavior stops immediately. That is what transformation is all about.

On the other hand, if we do not recognize the truth in the situation or do not see beyond the illusion, and we try to change the physical circumstances, we lock up the energy that holds the pattern of abuse in place and nothing changes.

Only love has the ability to transform energies like child abuse, corporate greed, murder and all other so-called evils of the world. http://www.radicalforgiveness.com

Antares Close UpApr 12, Sunday. The waning Moon moves into Sagittarius and occults Antares late tonight or early tomorrow morning depending on your time zone. This Occultation is not visible on land as its path crosses way out in the ocean. However, the effects of a Moon occultation over any Behenian star is powerful and worth noting. The ancients saw Antares as one of the magical (Behenian) stars considered more powerful when a planet is within 6 degrees. Antares is the heart of the Scorpion so our attention is drawn to the importance of our hearts and living heart directed lives with great love and compassion for the process of life we are now experiencing. This Moon occultation is opening the Antares stargate further transmitting divine wisdom into the physical world. (See May 26, 2007 Archives)

Apr 13, Monday. The Sagittarius Moon is moving to its out-of-bounds phase amplifying the light codes beaming in from the Galactic Core. For the past four or five years the Moon has been reaching beyond the furthest degrees the Sun can reach rising further South (or North when in Gemini Cancer) than the Sun can rise in its annual journey. This means the Moon is crossing over Galactic Center as it passes by each month providing us with a monthly transmission from the center of our Galaxy where massive amounts of energy are continually pouring forth into our Galaxy. It is important to remember that we are informing these energies as much as they are informing us. So, what we are thinking, feeling and intending is contributing to what is unfolding. Being conscious of our co-creative participation reminds us to responsibly think and act in ways that match our truest heart’s desire in alignment with Divine Will.

Apr 14, Tuesday. The out-of-of bounds Moon crosses Galactic Center as it moves into Capricorn. The Moon crosses this point once each month providing a consistent monthly download further illuminating and transmitting the incoming vibrational energies from this central galactic portal. There are three days each month when the Moon is transmitting directly from the Galactic Core providing us with easier access to the Codes and Energies beaming in from this area of the sky. Knowing about and consciously engaging this Timing further opens and activates our abilities as conscious conduits in anchoring these energies in the Earth plane. Many are noticing this three-day window is intensifying whatever issues any of us are still hanging onto or still in the process of releasing. Surrendering what we think we know and who we think we are, while also going with the flow of what is occurring, seems to be the most effective and useful strategy for experiencing the magical transformational opportunity of this window.

Apr 15, Wednesday. Mars conjuncts Uranus (24 Pisces) creating a possibility of unexpected events designed to shift our current assemblage point to a more expanded view. This planetary combination often shows up when accidents happen suggesting it is a wake-up call for those who might be sleepwalking in some area of life. This is a time to pay extra attention to what is occurring around you.

The Moon conjuncts Pluto (3 Capricorn) illuminating our awareness around any fears we have connected to the continuing dissolution of humanity’s current political and financial structures. The disintegration of these out-moded structures is divinely timed. Pluto excavates the shadow issues bringing to light the corruption, lies, distortions and what has been hidden and denied. Collectively we are finding ourselves facing issues that include fear of lack, of scarcity, of dwindling resources and the damage that has been done to our environment now accelerating the effects of Global Warming. Even though these events and circumstances may feel overwhelmingly beyond our control creating feelings of disempowerment the intent of this time to embrace our fears so we can be transformed and ultimately empowered in the process.

The Sun (26 Aries) sextiles Neptune (26 Aquarius). Neptune’s influence helps deepen our intuition when we allow ourselves to trust our inner knowing. This means knowing what we know even when seemingly beyond the confines of logic and reason. From this place it is easier to experience psychic connection with the source of all that is and all that is possible. The Sun is illuminating these mysteries. The challenge is to listen deeply from our inner knowing. This is tricky as we can often be misled by the illusions of our doubts, fears and the unhealed places within our hearts.

Apr 16, Thursday. The Saturn (16 Virgo) Uranus (23 Pisces) opposition is designed to create radical structural change within the web of life. We are approaching Saturn’s direct station next month creating another Still Point portal within our current web. This is a time when the new structures (a new web of conscious expression) can be anchored into this reality. The following information may be a helpful reminder that we are all interconnected through the web of life by our thoughts, feelings and actions. This is well worth remembering and working with as we have an opportunity to co-create the New Earth through our thoughts and feelings because they affect who we vibrate. Feeling love and gratitude is a very high vibration.

The Institute of Heart Math did an experiment and wrote a paper titled: Local and Non Local Effects of Coherent Heart Frequencies on Conformational Changes of DNA….In this experiment, human placenta DNA (the most pristine form of DNA) was placed in a container from which DNA changes were measured. 28 trained researchers were each given a vial of this DNA. Each researcher was trained in how to FEEL strong feelings… They discovered…DNA CHANGED ITS SHAPE according to the feelings of the researchers:

  1. 1. When the researchers FELT gratitude, love and appreciation, the DNA responded by RELAXING and the strands unwound. The length of the DNA became longer.
  2. 2. When the researchers FELT anger, fear, frustration, or stress, the DNA responded by TIGHTENING UP. It became shorter and SWITCHED OFF many of the DNA codes! Now you know why you may feel "shut down" by negative emotions as your body is literally shut down too. The DNA codes were switched back on when feelings of love, joy, gratitude and appreciation were felt by the researchers.

DNAThis experiment was later followed up by testing HIV positive patients. They discovered that feelings of love, gratitude and appreciation created 300,000 TIMES the IMMUNE RESISTANCE they had without those feelings. So here's the answer to staying well, no matter what dreadful virus or bacteria may be floating around. Stay in feelings of joy, love, gratitude and appreciation!

These emotional changes went beyond the effects of electro-magnetics. Individuals trained in deep love were able to change the shape of their DNA… this illustrates a new recognized form of energy that connects all of creation. This energy appears to be a TIGHTLY WOVEN WEB that connects all matter. Essentially we're able to influence this web of creation through our VIBRATION.

SUMMARY: What do the results of these experiments have to do with our present situation? This is the science behind how we can choose a timeline to stay safe, no matter what else is happening. As Gregg Braden explains in The Isaiah Effect, basically time is not just linear (past, present and future), but it also has depth. The depth of time consists of all the possible prayers and timelines that could ever be prayed or exist. Essentially, all our prayers have already been answered. We just activate the one we're living through our FEELINGS.

THIS is how we create our reality -- by choosing it with our feelings. Our feelings are activating the timeline via the web of creation, which connects all of the energy and matter of the Universe. http://www.omeonet.info/en/articles/dna_report.htm or

Apr 17, Friday. The Capricorn last Quarter Moon is at 28 Capricorn before moving into Aquarius. The last quarter Moon is a time to decide a course of action intended to integrate that elements of the current cycle as it prepares to end and begin again. In the Capricorn domain the decision may be about how to more effectively administrate the domain of our earthly life and how it effects the next seven generations. How do you contribute to the health and well being of your personal and collective environment? Are you doing everything you can to help create a green environment? Do you take cloth bags to the grocery store? Are you buying locally grown food whenever possible? Are you wisely using water or do you waste it by leaving the faucet running when you brush your teeth or wipe off the counters? Do you turn off lights when you are not in a room? Do you walk or bike whenever possible? Are you a responsible Global Citizen?

Venus (29 Pisces) stations Direct. Just about 40 days ago, on March 7, Venus turned Retrograde. Venus (28 degree Pisces) now stations direct ending the preparation phase of Inanna’s journey to the underworld. This is a decisive moment in the Venus cycle signaling the beginning of her descent towards the first gate leading to the underworld. (See April 22)

Apr 18, Saturday. The Moon in Aquarius is transmitting the mysteries of the cosmic revolutionary who willingly makes changes that support growth and evolution. The Moon is visible near Jupiter in the early morning sky and is also approaching Chiron and Neptune meeting up with them tomorrow. (See April 27 and 29)

Apr 19, Sunday. The Sun moves into Taurus until May 20 illuminating the mysteries of sacred pleasure that have been diminished in our current culture. In The Charge of the Goddess found in Starhawk’s book The Spiral Dance the Goddess tell us: All acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. This references a time when sacred pleasure was valued as a highly spiritual experience. 6500 years ago as the matriarchy was ending and the patriarchy was beginning many of the ceremonial traditions were overturned in favor of religious concepts designed to remove people from a direct spiritual connection with the Divine so they could be more easily controlled. This began the erosion of the understanding and experience of sexuality and pleasure as important expressions, creating instead a belief that that these things were evil. This was when pain and suffering became the primary sacrament.

Along with this the major religions also carry with them threats of even greater pain (i.e. burning in the fires of hell for all eternity) if you sin (or break the rules). Again this has proven to be an effective fear-based control program.. Thankfully humanity is waking up to these deceptions. As the Sun passes through the Taurus domain this next month it is a time for noticing how pleasure enhances your life. Do you allow yourself do enjoy the pleasure of life as one of the highest most sacred experiences we humans can have??? Are you willing to return to the Garden of Earthly delight as your divine heritage by embracing the gifts of sacred pleasure?

Apr 20, Monday. The Moon in Pisces and catches up to Uranus tomorrow. The Pisces mysteries include radical compassion and the genuine acceptance of what IS as it relates to being In Service to life. With Venus and Mars reaching their exact conjunction tomorrow in the final degree of Pisces it seems timely to share these words that Michele Obama spoken last month honoring women who have made a difference on International Women’s Day. She was speak about the importance of visionary leadership in healing the world and the relationship between the masculine and feminine.

The difference between a broken community and a thriving one is the presence of women who are valued, where relationships among women and between women and men are based upon mutual respect...

This is how real change occurs, one determined woman at a time. And change is coming. The women we honor today teach us three very important lessons. One, that as women, we must stand up for ourselves. The second, as women we must stand up for each other. And finally, as women we must stand up for justice for all. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/11/womens.rights/index.html

First Lady Michele Obama’s words are an example of a current day battle cry for the Venus in Aries Amazon Warrior as she continues her 18 month journey to integrate the Aries Archetype in new vital ways.

Apr 21, Tuesday. Venus conjuncts Mars (29 Pisces) and Moon conjuncts Uranus (23 Uranus) energizing radical compassion, forgiveness, love and kindness as some of our post profoundly healing tools. This is a time when the Sacred Feminine (Venus) and the Sacred Masculine (Mars) are linked at the last possible degree of Pisces or what we say in Shamanic Astrology is the most comprehensive Expression of the Pisces Mysteries. The Moon and Uranus are nearby adding their profound impact to this Sacred Union time. These energies are about dreaming the dream of a kinder, more caring, more loving world where men and women treat each other with great respect and reverence for the purpose of healing the ancient wounds each has experienced from the other.

Kindness towards ourselves, each other, and the Earth move us toward the New Earth consciousness. Kindness sets up a high vibration that affects all life. Have you ever watched an act of kindness and found you were uplifted by simply being witness? Studies show that acts of kindness increase the vibration of the one performing the kindness, the one receiving the kindness, and anyone witnessing the kindness.

In honor of Earth Day tomorrow and the Moon coming to conjunct Venus and Mars tomorrow still in the last degree of Pisces this is an excellent time to choose acts of kindness toward yourself, those you love, those you don’t know and especially toward the Earth spreading the kindness vibration across the planet. Now is the time to commit to living kindness in our daily lives. One way to express kindness toward yourself and Earth to spend some time in nature or to participate in an Earth Day Celebration.

Special Note: Earth Day 2009, April 22, will mark the beginning of the Green Generation Campaign! This two-year initiative will culminate with the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010. With negotiations for a new global climate agreement coming up in December, Earth Day 2009 must be a day of action and civic participation, to defend the Green Generation’s core principles: Family with windmills: Renewable energy for future generations.

• A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.
• An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption.
• Creation of a new green economy that lifts people out of poverty by creating millions of quality green jobs and transforms the global education system into a green one.

Apr 22, Wednesday. The Moon occults Venus (29 Pisces) and a short while later the Moon conjuncts Mars (29 Pisces) before Mars moves into Aries until May 31. This Moon occultation over Venus represents Inanna’s arrival at the first Gate on her descent into the underworld. If you are turning 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88 etc between April 3, 2009 and Nov 4 2010 your are in a personal Venus return and working ceremonial with these Venus Gates is a great way to participate for maximum results. The first gate is called the Gate of Divine 7th Chakra Symbol Authority and Inanna is asked to give up her crown sometimes described as the thousand petalled lotus crown representing the seventh chakra and her direct connection to spirit and the divinity that she innately is. Shri Sahasra-dala-padmastha Devi describes the seventh chakra as follows:

Lastly, the seventh centre, the most important centre is the Sahasrara which has got, according to Sahaja Yoga, a thousand petals. Actually there are a thousand nerves and if you cut the transverse section of the brain you can see that all these petal-like structures of the brain are forming a lotus of the thousand petals. This centre of a thousand petals covers the limbic area of the brain before Realization like the closed bud of a lotus…. http://www.adishakti.org/subtle_system/sahasrara_chakra.htm

The Thousand Petalled Lotus is considered by many traditions to be the abode of all the Gods and Goddesses. This is where Nature exists without division, dualities disappear and the great mysteries of life are all resolved. http://www.allgoodthings.com/yoga/chakra/chakra7.html

On Inanna’s journey to the underworld she is required to relinquish her divine knowing making a full underworld initiation possible. This is where she feels not only disconnected from her divine nature but she forgets it is her true essence. This begins the initiation into the unknown realms that strip us to naked to our core so that all the distortions are removed or transformed. And so the journey through the gates to the underworld begins.

Mars moves into Aries until May 31 preparing to move into the Elder Wisdom phase of the current Mars journey. Mars enters this phase on Aug 25. Mars is at home in the Aries domain of the spiritual warrior who courageously commits to further the cause he feels most passionate about. This is the healthy expression of the warrior who transcends his own need to be right, to have the last word, to be victorious for victory’s sake, to dominate others, and to conquer at any cost. Instead, a true warrior transcends the apparent external conflict and aligns with Divine Will, thus fulfilling his dharma to protect the cosmic order of life.

Apr 23, Thursday. Venus is crossing the zero Aries Equinox Marker for the third and final time reaching the degrees of her retrograde station by May 9. This marks the third opportunity for Venus to receive galactic information from The South Galactic Pole where the constellation known as Sculptor is located. (See April 8)

Sculptor up closeThis Southern Hemisphere constellation was named in 1752 by Abbe Nicolas Louis de Lacaille and is bordered by the constellations of Cetus, Fornax, Phoenix, Grus, Piscis Australis and the Waterbearer (a.k.a. Aquarius the constellation NOT the sign). The stars of Sculptor are dim and not that impressive to look at with the naked eye. However because it is where the South Galactic Pole is located when looking toward Sculptor we are looking at “at right angles to the Milky Way and deep into space, unobscured by stars or gas. Many galaxies both bright and faint are visible. Many are members of the Sculptor group." http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/Sculptor.htm A Young Galaxy near Sculptor
http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/S/Sculptor_Dwarf.html and http://www.sciencecentric.com/news/article.php?q=07111502 This image is from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer shows a young galaxy, NGC 300, located about seven million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. (c) NASA, JPL-Caltech, Las Campanas

The word sculptor comes from the Latin scalpere, and may be linked with a shell or two halves of a known as shellsculpere. Interestingly Venus known as Aphrodite to the Greeks is http://gnosticteachings.org/images/stories/greek/botticelli_birth_venus.png said to have risen from the foam of the sea on a scalloped shell that took her first to the island of Cythera and then to Cyprus thus linking this constellation to the planet Venus. Considering Venus can only retrograde over this area of the sky at the most every eight years and that Zero Aries Spring Equinox point is located here only for a specific span of time in 26,000 years we get the sense that there is even greater importance to the passing of Venus three times over this area of the sky since February 2. Venus will pass here three times again during her retrograde cycle in 2017. http://www.constellationsofwords.com/Constellations/Sculptor.htm

Apr 24, Friday. The Taurus New Moon (5 Taurus) is further illuminating the mysteries of personal intimacy, sacred pleasure and the art of authentic receivership. All of these mysteries have been severely wounded by the current cultural beliefs that train us to believe intimacy is scary, pleasure is a sin and giving is more blessed than receiving. One of the quickest ways to reverse these misconceptions is to practice daily, moment by moment, Gratitude. Truly Gratitude is one of the primary keys designed to raise our vibration and support a genuine experience of fully savoring and enjoying life. Here are some thoughts on gratitude to further inspire your own experience of this highly transformative vibratory energy.

Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy -- because we will always want to have something else or something more.~ Brother David Steindl-Rast

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. ~Cicero

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude. ~Denis Waitley

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~ John F. Kennedy

Apr 25, Saturday. Mercury (25 Taurus) squares Neptune (25 Aquarius). The artistry of Mercury in Taurus works through the lens of pleasure and beauty. Neptune can create confusion and illusions yet also works through the power of Forgiveness to create new internal space for fully experiencing love, intimacy, pleasure, and enjoyment. The Neptune fog and resulting confusion vanishes when we are attuned to our inner knowing, and engaging the power and grace of Forgiveness forgiving the unforgivable places within ourselves and others. Through the healing energy of Forgiveness--Love is liberated--and with that release, freedom, peace, power, enjoyment, and the pleasure of life are more fully possible. This gratitude statement may further inspire the forgiveness process.

I am grateful for the healing power of forgiveness that is further liberating me to love myself more fully.

Apr 26, Sunday. The out-of-bounds Moon conjuncts Mercury (27 Gemini at the Galactic Edge) illuminating the messages coming from this informational doorway stretching beyond this known reality providing new perspectives, added insights, and new networks of inspiration. In the Gemini domain this is often expressed through “Crazy Wisdom”. This is the kind of wisdom and inspiration that comes from places beyond logic and reason, from beyond the realm of duality from the place where the New Earth already exists. For example Crazy Wisdom might say; I am not who you think I am. I am not who I think I am. I am who I think you think I am. Or I know that I know what I don’t know and I know that know what I do know but I don’t always know how I know it.

Mars (3 Aries) Squares Pluto (3 Capricorn) exposing any shadow issues around the intention of the warrior who is NOT showing up to protect the cosmic order or further a just and noble cause but rather is doing what they do for their own gain while harming others and harming the Earth. This is another time for caution and paying attention to what is happening around you as the old forms can no longer be sustained and fears may lead to further chaos. Chaos however is often catalytic and transformative.

Apr 27, Monday. One month from now is the center point of the Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron Conjunction. May 27, 2009 is when Jupiter and Neptune make their exact conjunction though we are already in the potency of this Timing. On that day Chiron will be just 15 minutes away. If you have planets or angles from 21 to 28 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio or Taurus you are on the leading edge of the intent of these energies. The center point of the conjunctions and retrograde stations of all these planets are near 27 degrees of Aquarius.

As mentioned in the March Timings the last time Neptune and Jupiter joined in Aquarius it was April 9, 1843 and they met at 20 Aquarius 59. At that time Chiron was in the opposite area of the sky around 10 degrees Leo. Adding Chiron to this Neptune Jupiter conjunction is adding an element of novelty due to the rarity of these three planets joining up in Aquarius. (See March 17, 2009 Celestial Timings). In the 165 year orbit of Neptune there is usually only one time that Jupiter and Neptune come together in Aquarius. The next time will be 167 years from now in 2176 on January 19 at 29 Aquarius 57 at 5:36 am Mountain Time. At that time Chiron will be at 26 Aries.

This year there will be a total of three conjunctions of Neptune and Jupiter. The first is May 27 (26 Aquarius), the second is July 9 (again at 26 Aquarius) and the third is at the Winter Solstice on Dec 21 (at 24 Aquarius). The first Jupiter Neptune Conjunction finds Chiron within a quarter degree, the second one in July is within a half a degree and the last one in December is within 2 degrees. (See April 29)

Apr 28, Tuesday. The out-of-bounds Moon moves into Cancer once again crossing the Galactic Edge at the center of the Sacred Hoop or the Great Shining Circle in the sky. The Moon is transmitting the refined light codes that are coming in from beyond our Galaxy. This is a time when we have an opportunity to receive an inter-galactic download that is creating a whole new vibrational frequency. (see April 1 and 2)

Apr 29, Wednesday. Taking a deeper look at the triple conjunction of May 27 in Aquarius, it is clear this is a rare planetary line-up that is an event of “extreme novelty” and is designed to produce “freedom from the known” as we continue to move into the New Earth reality. http://www.akasha.de/%7Eaton/GalacticTREE-OF-LIFE.jpg what the Novelty Theory might look like. “Novelty” as used by Terrence McKenna describes massive dynamic change when graphed over time and is expressed as a fractal waveform known as “timewave zero” or just the “timewave”. McKenna felt that December 21, 2012 was the omega point of infinite novelty. The “timewave” theory suggests that the period leading up to the zero point is when anything and everything conceivable to the human imagination occurs simultaneously. McKenna describes it this way:

"Novelty Theory suggests that on December 21 of 2012 AD, at the coincidence of the moment of the solstice and the heliacal rising of the galactic center, levels of planetary novelty will exponentially increase. Theory does not make clear the nature of the ultranovel event, however. Speculation as to the nature of the encounter with the trans-dimensional object at the end of time includes the following:"

Hyperspatial Breakthrough
Planetesimal Impact
Alien Contact
Historical Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis of Natural Law
Solar Explosion
Quasar Ignition at the Galactic Core

above image Galactic Tree chakra Dharmata (our 3D extrusions of the Novelty Theory temporal fractality) still from a 2002 animation by Ananda

The Timewave Zero theory stretches beyond the mathematical and scientific ability and comprehensive understanding of most people (myself included). However, it is well within the collective experience to relate to the increasing number of “novel’ events that have been taking place over the past several years. This is especially so for the number of rare planetary alignments including the grand galactic alignment already taking place. There are many more rare astrological events set to occur in the Timeline as we approach 2012 and beyond. These events are conspiring to support the kind of massive changes the Timewave Zero concept describes taking us beyond what has been considered “normal” reality.

These next few months with the Jupiter, Neptune Chiron conjunction in the archetypal sign that most expresses “extreme novelty” suggests we are on the threshold of another Event Horizon or Zero Point leading us to this “ultranovel event” divinely designed to create the most massive SHIFT ever experienced in this reality. It is unpredictable, unknowable, and outside the realm of anything we can currently image and yet it is divinely orchestrated. It helps to remember to TRUST the process and go with the flow, releasing attachments and accepting what IS.

Apr 30, Thursday. Mercury moves into Gemini and is preparing to station retrograde on May 6 at 2 Gemini. Mercury resonates most with the Gemini archetype. Both energies are connected with the tricksters, shapeshifters, messengers, gypsies, magicians, entertainers, court jesters and the wise fool. This is the trickster who moves easily among the many worlds or multiple dimensions. The trickster stretches us to see beyond the rules, crossing boundaries that blur the lines of reality and the dualistic beliefs of this world including “good or bad, right or wrong, sacred or profane, truth or lies, young and old, happy or sad. These are shapeshifters who are often the divine messengers.

This is a highly creative energy that may embellish the truth to tell a better a story. Stretching the truth or facts to entertain is not lying as far as the trickster is concerned and often they unconsciously carry messages that serve a higher purpose. Laughter brings us closer to the sacred and it is the trickster who tricks us into laughing at ourselves and at life. Their creative stories often defy authority, poking fun at our politics, religion, beliefs and way of life. The message now is to note if you have sufficient flexibility of mind and spirit to appreciate the humor of the unfolding cosmic joke as we move through the illusiveness of duality into a whole new world of experience.

Comet Lulin on Feb. 20, 2009

"The Sword Comet — I have named it so!" writes Paolo Candy of the Cimini Astronomical Observatory and Planetarium in Italy. On the morning of February 20th, when Candy took this picture, the dust anti tail (left) had grown in prominence to quite outdo the gas tail (right), which points away from the Sun. Candy used a 10-inch f/3 Baker-Schmidt Zen astrograph, and an SBIG STL 6303E camera, for L, R, G, and B exposures 3, 1, 1, and 2 minutes long, respectively. Click image for larger view.
