Sagittarius Ritual and Guided Meditation

Urania’s Mirror Sagittarius and Corona Australis Sidney Hall [Public domain]

Sagittarius, the 9^th sign is known for distant travels, truth, justice, freedom, higher education, philosophy, humor, religion, politics, teachers, optimism, risk-taking, trust, adventure, faith, and mysticism.

The root of the word Sagittarius is related to the word sage. A sage is a venerable, older, wise teacher who inspires and passes on valuable information. Sagittarius is the last and most mature of the fire signs. The Sagittarius mission is to inspire and to point its arrows of truth higher towards the Galactic Center. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, King of the Gods. Jupiter also rules the sign of Pisces traditionally. 

Sagittarius is connected to the Greek Goddess Diana, the wild virgin huntress, Goddess of the Moon. The wolf or the dog is also associated with Sagittarius. Call upon her wild independent “women who run with the wolves” energy and spirit for wisdom if you need.

The Tarot Major Arcana for SAGITTARIUS is #14 Temperance /ALCHEMY or ART

This is the card of balance and Transformation. It is related to the Philosopher’s stone which symbolizes turning lead {Saturn, matter} into Gold {the Sun or spiritual Light}.

The TEMPERANCE ANGEL symbolizes our Higher Self. It combines the masculine fire {mind} and the feminine water {instincts} to transform both into something entirely new. In this way, we combine our shadow selves and become more than we were. This card is also known as the SACRED MARRIAGE card.

FULL Moon Meditation SYMBOLIC Correspondences

All Full Moons are the most fertile times and mark high tides and completion cycles. It is a time to look at what we have brought to completion and to let go as the energy of the moon will wain down to New moon in two weeks. Sagittarius Full Moons call us to be in nature. Lighting a bonfire or a small candle in your room aligns you with the fire element.

NEW MOON SAGITTARIUS MEDITATION 

Uses the same symbols and associations. But a New or Dark Moon energy is very Yin, feminine, internal, and represents a time of new beginning. 

Sagittarius carries a gypsy, mystical exotica energy, so get out your best boho attire and your tribal drums. Belly dancing and ululating, is recommended as well as any “exotic” world music and drumming.

CEREMONIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Gather and set up your sacred circle and alter with any associated images.

SMUDGE WITH SAGE or lavender

Begin by smudging yourself first. Light your candles. One for each direction. I always work EAST to SOUTH to WEST TO NORTH. Always move clockwise. Call in the four elements and the four directions into your sacred circle.
Call in the four Archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Ariel, Raphael in the same order.

Center yourself by breathing, sit in a lotus position if you can. You can do this ritual outdoors. It would be good to be barefoot and sitting on the earth. Light your candles and incense and close your eyes.

Set your intentions on expanding your ability to connect with your Holy Guardian Angel and the Higher Master Teachers which Jupiter governs.

Breathe in through your nose naturally, breathing and sending your intention to your root chakra. Connect your breath down by growing a tail with each breath that grows down from the base of your spine, down into the earth’s molten lava iron core.

When you feel the connection to the earth’s fire, breathe it up through the rocks and crystals back up into your root chakra and breathe it up in sequence from the lowest 1^st root chakra up to the 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 6^th and 7^th chakras. You can also send your energy breath and intention out and beyond your crown chakra to the 8^th and 9^th chakras. The 8^th is your Higher self, it is Gold about 1 foot above your head. The Peruvian shamans send energy to a 9^th chakra which symbolizes the Galactic Center and beyond, the Viracocha. Direct your energy out there, and call upon your Holy Guardian Angel and Michael and Uriel and the Master Teachers to come and connect with you.

Now direct your attention within. See your inner feminine and inner masculine sides. Sense their individual energies. Watch them yearn for each other and sense them pouring into the other. Watch the masculine become feminine and the feminine becomes masculine. Sense and feel this new essence, this TEMPERANCE energy of #14 Tarot Arcana, sense this unified golden wholeness within your being that has been transformed into a completely new you. Feel yourself radiate the Gold. Sound AUM or OHM.

Send this energy out into the world. 

For those of you who are single and still longing to find your soulmate, doing this exercise is mandatory to magnetically attract your “other half” to you.

Ask your Holy Guardian Angel or Higher self to converse with you. Allow, joy, ecstasy and laughter to erupt inside of you. It may feel like a total body orgasm. This is your natural state.

Take as much time as you need. When you feel complete. Give thanks. Know that your Guardian Angel will always and protect you.

Come out of your meditation and dance. Celebrate, howl, do something generous for a stranger, Keep the energy and optimism going. Start the new seasons wherever you are in the world feeling balanced whole and complete.

Black Moon Earth Wolf Aquarius Solar Eclipse

This is a triple threat Solar Eclipse peaking Feb 15th at 1:05 pm PST/ 4:05 pm EST/ 9:05 pm GMT and on Feb. 16 in China

All eclipses change our electromagnetic resonance.

1. It’s a Black Moon or Lilith Moon-the most magical and mysterious as there are no Full Moon’s this February a rarity which occurs once every 20 years.

2. It’s also the Ancient pagan festival of LUPERCALIA or WOLF

The Lupercalia was the ancient annual Roman {pagan} festival conducted on February 15.  The origins of the festival are obscure and suggest a connection with an ancient deity who protected herds from wolves and with the legendary she-wolf who nursed Romulus and Remus. As a fertility rite, the festival is also associated with the god Faunus or the goat God Pan. 

The festival, which celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine’s Day. 

The festival began with the sacrifice by the Luperci priests- of goats and a dog; after which two of the Luperci were led to the altar, their foreheads were touched with a bloody knife, and the blood wiped off with wool dipped in milk. The ritual required that the two young men should laugh.  By expiation and purification, the Lupercalia secured the fruitfulness of the land, the increase of the flocks and the prosperity of the whole people

3. The eclipse is the start of the Chinese NEW YEAR of the Yang-male Earth Dog.

The Chinese saw dragons eating the sun during eclipses. The Vikings saw a pair of sky wolves chasing the Sun or Moon which caused an eclipse if one of the wolves caught either of the luminaries. 

Dogs and wolves are interchangeable. 

There is a Lone wolf and a “Women who run with the Wolves” by Dr. Clarrissa Pinkola Estes here.  Quote ““Love in its fullest form is a series of deaths and rebirths. We let go of phase, one aspect of love, and enter another. Passion dies and is brought back. Pain is chased away and surfaces another time. To love means to embrace and at the same time withstand many ending, and many many beginnings – all in the same relationship.” This feels the aptest for this Solar eclipse.  

# 17 THE STAR is the sign of AQUARIUS in the Tarot

The STAR copyright free

The partial eclipse at 27+ degrees is almost the exact opposite degree mirroring the “Great American” Eclipse of August 21, 2017, which was at 29 degrees LEO. That eclipse fell conjunct to Donald Trump’s Mars and his Leo ASCENDANT and on the famous “star of royalty’ Regulus aka Archangel Raphael’s star. Which is now at zero degrees VIRGO- hence Royalty now marrying commoners and “servants.” and coming down to earth. Donald Trump will be hit from the opposite side now at this latest eclipse. There are big guns out to get him.

This SOUTH NODAL Eclipse in AQUARIUS @ 27+ degrees is part of Saros Cycle 150 which began on August 24, 1729. The last eclipse in this cycle was on Feb 5, 2000, at the time of the dot.com boom which quickly turned into a bust. South Nodal eclipses are releasing of the past. See what happened in 1729 -link below

There are 5 AQUARIAN Aspects. The SOUTH NODE and Mercury JUNO the Moon and SUN in tight orb of 2 degrees. 

URANUS the ruler of AQUARIUS is the SIGN of revolution freedom higher consciousness co-operation and new technologies. 

We need to release old ways of thinking about women’s intelligence and organizational genius.  I believe that the Asteroid JUNO which looks like an 8 armed magic wand symbolizes WOMEN’s specific multi-tasking genius.  Interesting that the A1 computer is named SOPHIA- the Goddess of wisdom. This is a dangerous tool and we must be aware of what happened in the past when power was abused in Atlantis and LEMURIA.

URANUS the eclipse ruler @ 25 degrees+ ARIES is conjunct ERIS the outsider troublemaker and inconjunct to JUPITER @ 22 + degrees in SCORPIO

Also still in a CARDINAL CROSS with PLUTO at 20+ degrees Capricorn

This feels like a push-pull in higher echelons of power with secret troublemakers and International intrigue. The revolution wants to happen but there are secret cabals making the energy difficult to decipher. 

JUPITER is SQUARING the SUN MOON JUNO MERCURY convention

Jupiter is rah-rah for change big deep change at the soul personal and financial levels. It’s happening behind the scenes it is being engineered. This is also deep sexual and power abuse secrets trying to come out. WOMEN speaking up for each other helps these changes become activated worldwide.

JUPITER trine CHIRON HEALING

This is exalted healing energy. Compassion forgiveness releasing old unconscious patterns of self- destruction.

The NORTH NODE in LEO is conjuncts CERES

The Great Mother is asking us to lead with our hearts and wills our courage and passion. Aquarius South Node’s shadow is fanatic individuals and collective sheeple thinking.  We must remember to mother ourselves and protect the children.

SATURN the ancient ruler of both CAPRICORN and AQUARIUS is really the head honcho planet. Saturn sextiles Venus exalted in PISCES. This is a very sweet energy. Indicating we are building a new more compassionate woman and the natural beauty centered world. 

MARS and VESTA are conjunct to the GREAT ATTRACTOR at 12-14 SAGITTARIUS

This is a fiery fiery spiritual combo and YES focus all of your intentions during the solar eclipse as they magnify all spell or prayers which peaks at 1:05 pm PST/ 4:05 pm EST/ 9:05 pm GMT. The Great Attractor is a very powerful energy to focus on.

MARS and VESTA  Square NEPTUNE in PISCES 

Use Neptune’s energy to contact the highest spiritual levels. Remember the world is going through a very dirty battle right now. Our collective releasing of the old tribal mentality and creating from the heart is our path to creating the world we all want to live in. 

Some Tibetan Buddhists believe that all prayers virtuous intentions and the reciting of mantras result in 10 thousand to 100 million times the power of the positive intentions. Any negative actions also result in 100 million times the negative karma in the world.

Focus your energy on these powerful symbols and energetics of ;etting go of the past and evolutionary transformation at this eclipse. If you have planets or angles in your birth chart at 25-29 degrees AQUARIUS /LEO or SCORPIO -TAURUS you will feel the push of this eclipse the most personally. The effects of an eclipse last 9 months. We will be in an overlap for the next 3 months. 

I will be meditating for most of the day. Let me know how you are doing and if you need assistance.

Full Wolf Super Moon New Year Howl

The Biggest Super Moon of 2018 the WOLF MOON lights up the New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

January 1st @ 6:24 pm PST/9:24 pm EST/ January. 2 @ 2:24 am GMT

It’s a CANCER FULL WOLF MOON with a beautiful GRAND WATER TRINE

between the Moon Neptune in PISCES and MARS in SCORPIO with JUPITER close by but not close enough for an actual trine { must be within 5 degrees}.

SUN VENUS and SATURN are bunched up in CAPRICORN and PLUTO opposing the Moon widely.

A Super Moon is when the moon is at perigee-closest to the earths’ core and its pull will be the strongest on our feelings majorly tugging at our heartstrings.

CANCER is the sign of the Mother the primal womb which every human being has experienced since the beginning of time as the MAtrix; the universe; the source. We yearn to return to the complete safety of our mother’s wombs.  Cancer represents family safety security food nurturing nourishment our homes our childhood’s the unconscious memories and our need for emotional safety. 

We will be feeling the pull of our yearning for this primal safety and the harsher CAPRICORN patriarchal duties and responsibilities in the world. For many women this is felt as the constant pull of the family versus career split. 

The GRAND WATER TRINE’s effects will help us to realize that our closest relationships are the most important rewards in the world. Those who are closest to us are what the hungry wild wolf instincts in us longs for. Belonging to the pack. 

CERES the GREAT MOTHER is also aligned with the NORTH NODE IN LEO

Leo is the creative self expressive will chakra. It symbolizes the heart the courage of the mother who fearlessly guards her young. Ceres is the nurturing mother who provides for all life on the earth and all of her children.

MERCURY @19 degrees SAGITTARIUS square NEPTUNE and CHIRON in PISCES

To heal our ancient karmic wounds we must have compassion for ourselves. It is our vulnerabilities and weaknesses which is what unites us in a common humanhood. We must use our ancient lupus voices in a new optimistic howling vision by speaking our truth.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes in her groundbreaking Women Who Run With The Wolves opened up the ancient ties of myth and the wild woman spirit the instinctual knowledge which is our true nature.

The CAPRICORN Patriarchal world; its history and civilization tries to brainwash enslave and limit humans with its rules and expected behaviors which it tells us that we have to play to win the goal of fame and worldly fortune. Capricorn is symbolized by THE DEVIL #15 in the TAROT. These Patriarchal rules its religions its brainwashing media and cultural expectations limit men as well as women.

All oppositions provide us with opportunites to find a middle ground. We must find a way to have both if that is what we choose in a new balanced way.

Our essences are free spirits we are wolves who are wild at heart. Wh care for our families who are in touch with our own inner authorities. Who live by the natural cycles of the Moon’s waxing and waning.

Trust your intuition. Listen to your wild instincts. Nurture and protect your inner child. Love and nurture those you love who are part of your pack.

REMEMBER WHO YOU REALLY ARE! This is the key message of a Number 11 year.

Sagittarius Moon, Goddess Diana Astrology

HAPPY AUGUST

We are off to an optimistic start with the Moon in Sagittarius until the 3rd. The Moon in Sagittarius will boost everyone’s spirit, so get happy, think big, be vast.

Truth telling learning inspiring traveling and being easy to get along with are all Sagittarius traits. The 9^th sign is ruled by the Big winded planet JUPITER aka  Zeus in Greek mythology/ JOVE in Roman and the root of the word jovial meaning good-humored. Sag. is the most mature of the three Fire signs and the root of the word SAGE.

The GODDESS of SAGITTARIUS is DIANA the Huntress 

To the Greeks, she was Artemis, the Goddess of the hunt. Diana is an Asteroid as well #73. There is also an Asteroid Artemis #105. Their myths are intermingled and show similar aspects. You can look up where either Diana or Artemis is in your natal chart at Astro.com you can insert the numbers of the asteroids. Diana’s archetype is always that part of you which remains independent and roams free. Diana is also known as a virgin goddess she never married and she is also the protectress of babies at birth and of young children. She can be very fierce killing anyone who hurts one of her animals or who invades her privacy. She was always seen hunting in the woods with her dogs and she is also the archetype in Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. 

After that awkward Inconjunct with the Goddess of Love Venus in Cancer who wants JUPITER/Zeus to come home for dinner of course. If you know your Greek Mythology you know that Zeus is always off philandering. How does this aspect relate to your life?

Moon trines MARS and the SUN IN LEO in PDT/ Aug 2 EDT and GMT

A red-hot happy partying “go for it”energy. You may be tooo fired up to sleep so use that energy to pursue some educational goals or venture out on a big learning curve.

Moon squares NEPTUNE in PISCES in the a.m. on Wed.

This is very dreamy and spiritual. Fantasize about big adventures travels soul mates. Very creative. Make yourself a  dream mandala.

Moon sextiles JUPITER in LIBRA

The ruler of Sagittarius and the Moon are in harmony. A nice energy for later in the day. Good for fun socializing, cocktails and romance. Everyone will be in good spirits and be acting so nice.

URANUS turns RETROGRADE which I wrote about previously this is in PDT and on the 3rd in EDT and GMT. https://infinitynow.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/radical-thinking-rewind-uranus-retrograde/

The chaotic elements slow down. That’s good we need that. 

We are headed up for that AUGUST 7 LUNAR ECLIPSE at 15 degrees AQUARIUS. Everybody’s talking about the Great American Total Solar eclipse on the 21st but all eclipse have big impact. I’ll write about it soon.
