Autumn Equinox Rosh Ha Shannah 5777

Good news for the autumn equinox when Sun enters Libra September 22.

Mercury finally goes sidereal direct on September 22, which should free up the internet and the planetary nervous system while communications (hopefully enter the harmonious zone once again). The big positive change following up has to do with Jupiter presently in Libra for a year and technically conjunct what is called "The Super Galactic Centre".  The Mayans gave every shot of their tequila to the Galactic Centre, but the Hebrews synchronize their cosmic calendar with the "Super Galactic Centre".   The Hebrew year 5777 seems to suggest that their is a very cosmic stargate is about to open this year and we need all the harmony that Jupiter and Libra can bring to this "chaotic node moment" that Tom Kenyon and the Hathors have been speaking about.  Up here in Canada we are extra-ordinary concerned with the political and economic destiny of our southern neighbours.  An I personally wish that my fellow Libran Gore Vidal were still alive and in the body and writing with incisive wit about the American political and economic situation.

But back to that Stargate and the upcoming Jewish new year, one of my Kabbalah Teachers (Johannah now documented in the Unicorn Messiah Novel which when read will introduce you to true authentic Kabbalah teachings) suggested that there were some years missing from the Hebrew Calendar count; Yes the number 777 does refer to a Stargate or a kind of cosmic shabbat, however what is missing from a six thousand year calendar is 233, the gematria for the Hebrew word 'regel' or 'spies' (lots of that going on, on the planet these days) and let's not forget that we have a few friends on the other side.  Like Rumi whose birthday was the 23rd of September, conjunct the Super Galactic Centre, so we need a download of cosmic music and dance on our planet for this year coming up with Jupiter in Libra.  We should never underestimate the trans-formative power of creative ceremonial.

I personally am looking for  a few more book launch opportunities for The Unicorn Messiah and may be heading to Vancouver, Victoria and Salt Spring Island soon for the Rosh Ha Shannah / Yom Kippur festivities in early October;  And maybe, just maybe on to Sedona for Sakkut the Hebrew holiday that honours the Ancestors. 

More on that in the next blog.  May you enjoy the Sun in Libra, Mercury turning direct and the sweet taste of the upcoming fall harvest.

Shalom, Shalom

The Full moon in Aquarius (at 26 degrees)

The Full Moon in Aquarius today is resonant with the Harmonic Convergence ceremonials of 17th of August 1987 which was a meditation celebrated worldwide (the largest in our recorded history) and began a series of vibrational upgrades for planet Earth that completed with Mayan Galactic Centre Ceremonials of December 21st 2012.  We have Jose Arguelles to thank for this Ceremonial Gateway that concluded a 5125 year cycle within the Mayan calendar.  That photograph you see of the rainbow over Kootenay Lake was one of 3 rainbows that appeared to grace ceremonials that took place at Queens Bay in 1987.  I still have crystals charged at that time.  The poem (above, from Aleph 2160 À Zodiac Oracle`) speaks of the `messengers` or angels that have been visiting our planet from various star systems during this `Galactic Centre Vibrational Infusion`.  There is still more to come leading up to a `grand finale` in the year 2033.

That `Resurrection of Lazarus` ( Eli- ezar... my divine helper...aka soul-mate) referred to in the poem speaks of the reawakening of what is termed: `The Divine Feminine` and we still have a long way to go with that one!  The integration of the new galactic frequencies penetrating the core of our Sun (Shemesh) might take a while!

What to do?  Try a little Sun gazing with closed eyes, but an open Pineal Gland.  This is our crystal radio receiver set for the new frequencies entering our solar system.

Have a beautiful full moon and keep holding (cherishing, embodying) the wild and alchemical vibrations.  Have a shot of Tequila if need be!

Blessings,

Joseph-Mark

I still a few copies of The Unicorn Messiah to get 'out the door'!

Aleph Kallah Conference 2016

I have just returned from a divine journey to re-visit Boulder Colorado and attend the 2016 Aleph Kallah Jewish Renewal Conference in Fort Collins Colorado.  It has been many years since I participated in a Kallah gathering that bring together the finest teachers, artists and students of the Jewish mystical tradition.  The music and prayer at the Kallah goes beyond devotional into the realm of purely ecstatic!  I imagine that if you google "Aleph Kallah" you will fin many musical offerings available for purchase.  I chose not to be a shopkeeper at the 'Shuk' market.  However it brought me great joy to gift and sell some of my newly published 'Unicorn Messiah' books to those beings who are a part of my wild and mystical soul-tribe.  And a return to Boulder Colorado where I once choreographed a series of 4 weekend Kabbalah classes for advanced students was an absolute delight as well.  And going back to 1972 I was a young summer student at Naropa.  I claim that my former Tai-Chi teacher and friend Fredric Lehrman saved Naropa from bankruptcy that summer with a brilliant American ceremonial entitled: "Rolling in the Dough"!

The highlight for me from this post-conference visit  to Boulder was a six hour conversation with my friend Samuel Avital, founder of the Le Centre du Silence Mime and Kabbalah School.  I suggested to Samuel that if he would like to revisit Morocco with a small group of friends and students I would be more than happy to set up the tour.  (more about that one later)

The whole experience at the Kallah has regenerated me in many ways and impelled me to rekindle my own wild style of kabbalah teaching in seminar and retreat form.  The next offering is at my home, The Crystal Dome Retreat from September 1st to the 6th.  Just visit the CDR link for more information.

Happy Lammas new moon at 11 degrees of Leo on August 2nd.  I was not able to go or guide my annual tour to mystical Britain this year for personal reasons and circumstances beyond my control. However I can say that Ireland has been calling out to me in a strong way.  Got to go have a Guinness now!

May the Leprechauns be with you! 

Summer Solstice 2016

It has been some months since I have been able to attend to this blog as the copy and editing the final proof for 'The Unicorn Messiah' has taken precedence.  The good news is that I will have beautiful physical copies of the book available for purchase by early July.  And if you prefer an eBook that is available as well.  Just click on this link where you will be able to listen to a few of the wilder episodes as well.

I have most recently returned from a conference at Joshua Tree called 'Contact in the Desert'.  I have fond memories of Joshua Tree from some years back when I used to teach for 'Nine Gates Mystery School'.  Contact is considered to be one of the major UFO conferences in North America.  I suspect that David Wilcock was considered to be the keynote speaker of the conference.  My personal favourites were my friends Patty Greer who highlight her latest crop circle film, and Walter Cruttenden, author of 'The Last Star of Myth and Time".   

You will find interesting prophetic material in The Unicorn Messiah channeled by Yohannah some 40 years ago about our solar system's binary star relationship to Sirius.  Presently some of the best channeling regarding Sirius and the dolphins is found in the writings and teachings of Patricia Cori who was not invited to speak at 'Contact in the Desert' .   The presentation by Jim Mars might very well have been the most potent given his Texas cowboy delivery.  

My problem with the conference was the extraordinary heat-wave (over 100 degrees every day) and a volunteer staff who's primary agenda seemed to be the keeping of people of crashing events without the appropriate ticket.  There was also paucity of clean portable washroom facilities. (I was barred from one clean washroom as the volunteer was attempting to keep people from hijacking food from the dining hall. I suggested to her that her attitude and energy constituted "Elder Abuse".)  As a final insult I had enrolled for David Wilcock's 3 hour presentation on ascension on the final day of the conference and when I returned after a washroom break yet another volunteer demanded a ticket which had already been taken upon entrance.  Your correspondent `blew a fuse` and may never know what David has to say these days about ascension.  If I were the program director of this conference I would rename it "Contact on the Rocks" and move it next year to Sedona, Arizona.  PS, The most positive speaker at Contact was Gorden Asher Davidson author of, "The Transfiguration of Our World".  I trust you can google him.

I am very happy to be back at the Crystal Dome Retreat amidst my friends, the cedar trees and my on-site glacial waterfall.  You are invited to one in-depth experiential kabbalah retreat for 6 days around the labour day weekend and there is a children's shamanic music camp in the works, but the dates have not been chosen yet.  As far as an astrological report for the summer I will ask my friend Dan who is kindly typing up my blog today to do video for youtube on the summer transits.

Blessings and safe travels.  Joseph-Mark

The Scorpio 11.11 New Moon & The Global Village

Shalom...

some light years ago when this elder astrologer was in his twenties at York University enjoying the weekly seminars with a wild Irish cultural historian named William Irwin Thompson ( who mused about culture heroes at the border crossing between ages like Moses & Quetzalcoatl) I would drift over to U of T on Wednesdays to catch a class with Marshall McLuhan on James Joyce the Global Village... One of his pet & brilliant ideas was that Gutenberg printing press changed culture so that much that was esoteric became exoteric. And that every media created by human beings was an externalization of the human nervous system. He looked to see which medias were hot, which were cold & which ones dramatically altered the human nervous system. Television, according to MM
mangaged to break up the tradition of family dinners with post dinner music & fractured the human attention span down to 14 1/4 minutes the time between commercials. Next came channel surfing
as an attention span interrupter. I fancy that MM may be available pour moi along with Kryon and a few imaginary friends that I choose as humour filled guides & pundants..; So as I muse about the new
smart phone ear plugged urban human with an fractured attention span that falls between the cracks of each nano-second I hear the wisdom of another mentor of mine R.Murray Schafer (The Soundscape aka The Tuning of the World) reminding me of how jazz was born from the urban musician attempting to deal with the sound of car horns!

I have a friend who feels that the computer & Google is shinking down the Global Village to a pindrop & creating a new civilization of Netizens,,,, Yes.. on one level...on another it may likely be hijacked by the moghuls of big advertising & Zootube & Facebook may well further desensitize youthful generations into cyber friend pods of shared interests.... ( who may be in shock rather than delight upon finally physically meeting),,,  For an elder who loves children & is now turning to writing wry books for them ( if you would like a first draft of my new offering Star Buddha or know of a brilliant illustrator just e mail me at josephmarkcohen@gmail.com) the idea of interacting via a computer or a cell phone lacks the human warmth of a hug & a bedtime story....

So what does all this do with astrological transits you may ask...Each new moon plants seeds into out collective cultural web and the most recent one at 19 degrees Scorpio 229th degree of the Zodiac
speaks of the space between the electron haze & the nucleus not being empty. Perhaps it is now filled by a sea of gamma rays raising the vibration of our dimensional perception. A scientest named Simon Atkins thinks so,,, Saturn is slowly moving through zodiacal Sagittarius which will likely make air travel more challenging ( that Russian plane that exploded over the Sinai may have been blown up by a planted bomb in the cargo placed by fundementalist Islamic nutcase who was offered a Sinai cybercave by a man named Morsi whom Obamaimagined might give Gaza a new piece of real estate...
but that is another story!)
Saturn will no doubt make webinar education across political borders much more available...
Meanwhile Neptune &  Chiron are still trolling through Pisces offering emotional healing to those who resonate with the water signs...
Uranus is still creating new sources of free energy in Aries but in an awkward & challenging quincunx aspect to the recent New Moon,,, We hear good news about a man who is travelling about offering free energy devices to assorted governnments & here in Canada my generation is ecstatic to see one Justin Trudeau as PM & pray that his dad Pierre Elliot Trudeau is whispering in his ear & suggesting that he dismantle the whole oil & tar sands sink hole & eco nightmare nurtured by former pm Harper.. This astrologer worked for PET in the sixties during Trudeau mania when it was honourable to have a Canadian flag on one's backpack..... Pierrre Elliott Trudeau was visionary enough to keep big oil companies from cracking up the arctic ice & killing whales & their eco-system!

Last but not least in the planetary picture we have Pluto at the 14th degree of Capricorn for the next few weeks. So I will close this run on blog cum rant with my poem for the 284th degree of the Zodiac from Aleph 2160: A Zodiacle Oracle....now available via e book at earthmysteriestravel.blogspot.ca
and invite you to come with me for a magical week around the time of Rumi's wedding day celebration in Sedona AZ Dec.17

Here is that Plutonian micro poem:

all the earth quakes  high tides   washing over
earth island    mountain ranges   re-arranging themselves
Atlantis & Lemuria   re-emerging    all samurai
rendez-vous    one day  with tsunami
in this purification time    even      kadeeshay elyoneem
will be tried    in the cosmic fire......

The Virgo New Moon Rosh HaShannah 5776

I am scribing this post a few hours before the Virgo New Moon at 21 degrees of Virgo... one day before the commencement of Rosh HaShannah 5776. So before donning my astro-hat let me wish you a year filled with sweetness, light, joy & delightful surprises.. The internet is abuzz these days
with ominous talk about the upcoming Shemittah Year, the so-called  blood-moon in a fortnight & the imminent Gamma Ray Photon Wave that is reported to be a "game-changer" for life on Gaia or Adamah. Some folks envision dramatic earth changes {tectonic plate shifting & resultant volcanic activity... not to mention financial turmoil  & the resultant exposure of small c cabals & their creators}... while a growing number of "channels" are anticipating a tsunami of spiritual infusions that could propel sensitive souls all the way to the 5th Dimension or Beyond! The pundits & the cyberspace prophets are offering predictions & potentials that range from an eruption of Yellowstone,
currency colony collapse & concomitant chaos to the arrival of benevolent ETs & the seeding of the New Earth Frequencies! Not to mention a messianic initiative in the upcoming Shemittah Year....

So what does your Libran astrologer say about all of this... OK.. first it is time to throw out the trite images of those so-capped sabian symbols that a generation of young newbie astro acolytes tend to rely upon for their video blogs!
The 171st degree of the Zodiac yields the word Pnayel via Hebrew Gematria. The word translates as
"the face of God or the Divine Presence" The biblical Ya akov aka Jacob wrestled for a night with an angel named Pnayel ...got sciatica from the wrestling but had his Pineal gland opened to an awareness of Cosmic Consciousness... So perhaps the year to come will offer something like that to us collectively! May we be inscribed in the Book of Life for a Year of Clearing of Karmic Impediments & Attainment of True Self-Realization! And may the prophet Eliyahu show up to clear the planet of 
assorted mischief & malfeance as well as corporate ecological agendas!  

Shana Tovah 5776 

and yes before the Sun enters Scorpio.. those who book a Kabbalistic Astrology session will receive the new Crop Circle Oracle Cards Ebook  plus this authors new offering for Star Kids & their astronished parents entitled  Star Buddha... just check out the e book section at earthmsyteriestravel.blogspot.ca

New Moon on Bloomsday & Beyond

June 17 2015

The recent new moon on June 16th at 25 degrees of Gemini was exactly conjunct Mars which adds some
gusto, bravado & ballast to the sphere of personal & even transpersonal communications this month.
I have recently channeled a book for Starkids & their hip but somewhat perplexed parents so I will be
taking this week leading up to the Summer Solstice on June 21st as a late spring seeding time for work that may not emerge from the creative wormhole ( so to speak) till the autumn. It is the Summer Solstice astrochart that is the significant one to source for hints for those who ask "what's happening Mahn?" Well the good news is the coming conjunction of Jupiter & Venus on June 30th at the 21st degree of Leo.. This feels like a big family celebration of some sort, a theatrical event, a financial windfall, a marriage ceremonial. Upon consulting Aleph 2160:A Zodiac Oracle ( finally available as an e-book, just click on that new e-book link) I gather that "the elders are calling a gathering together circle to meet "the messengers" & the voice of the Ancestors is whistling in our ears". This could be an intermittent phenomena happening all summer long!
(You can have a listen to the Leo sector audio version of A2160 by clicking the link at treeoflifeschool.com.
my friend David Hickey was playing singing bowls & an occasional gong for this recorded version btw)
The particular gathering together circle that I am most looking forward to this summer is the summer lectures conference hosted by Steve & Karen Alexander in Devizes, Britain on the weekend of August 1 &2. This is their 10th anniversary conference & those who have been initiated via a crop circle experience will be there at this family gathering... And the elders will be " whistling in our ears " to be sure! I invite you to join me on this journey to Albion that includes a Roundtable astrology seminar in Glastonbury,   Steve & Karen's wonderful conference in Devizes & some sacred site earth grid exploring at Avebury, Marleborough & Tintagel. You will find the flyer for it at the "CropCircleOracleCards" button on treeoflifeschool.com
where you can also order decks for your star buddies!

May this summer bring us palpably closer to what my dear departed friend Roweena Kryder called the new earth.!!!

From New Moon conjunct Andromeda to the Wesak full moon....

The recent New Moon at 28degrees of Aries was close to conjunct the zodiacal position of our neighbouring sister constellation Andromeda...

Many years ago I met a man who had been contacted by one of those beautiful blue shapeshifting creatures who had inspired him to compose some haunting & transporting music! So with the lens of harmonic astrology I sent a posting out to 40 fellow astrologers about the hidden 7th harmonic aspects nested in the New Moon chart. The Sun/Moon was bi-septile Jupiter & septile Neptune. Pluto was bi-septile the Sun/Moon as well. Venus & Neptune were squaring one another in mutable signs (Gemini &Pisces) which is a good aspect for musical creativity. This astrologer had the good fortune to study harmonics with both John Addey & Charles Harvey some light years ago & they proved to me that the 7th harmonic has to do with both mystical & musical enlightenment.  Now coming up in a few days, May 3rd to be precise, we have the full moon at 14 degrees of Scorpio, for the celebration of Wesak, a mythic marriage of the overtone harmonics of heart & mind... Here is the zodiacal degree poem for the full moon position from my Aleph 2160 A Zodiacal Oracle:  

in the beginning  is the wind  vibrating 

within the breath    all things   begin to dance 

within the dance    each form    emits a tone

each sonic signal    emanating    harmonics     

each one a microtron  dipped      in the well of Hhanohh 

each tone  begins to spin    in the beginning    is the Wind  

Well that wind is ruahh breath spirit in Hebrew & Hhanonhh is known as Enoch the one who became Mettatron & ascended after a full 360 year incarnation... (lots of new age channels out there claiming to channel METTATRON these days!)
So for the upcoming full Wesak moon , best to breath  from your Buddha belly & listen up for the big spiritual  windstorm that is about to blow our way! Could be a gathering of eagles about to land!  JMC's promo this month: have a look at the invite to Gozo (May 17-25th) & send an e-mail to josephmarkcohen@gmail.com 

New Moon at the Border Crossing

The Feb.17 New Moon straddles the border between Aquarius & Pisces. This is the border between invention & imagination, technology & magic, envisioning & romaticising. There is a fair bit of Nasrudin contraband attempting to smuggle or snuggle its way through this border crossing this month as the Sun enters Pisces! New Agers are looking for the keys to the GATE ( Great Ascension Transporter Energy) will old agers just want to know where they put the car keys. It all depends upon the frequency one is vibrating at & the hold that past-life or former star system karma has upon us! Each of the planets has an influence & a dance partner in this month's upcoming theatre project or hidden carnival. Mercury has gone direct so what was lost can now be found. Venus enters Aries on Feb. 21st to add some adventure & gambling to the mix.Mars enters Aries on Feb.20th so these two lovers will be doing an intense tango for about a week. Jupiter is retrograde in Leo at the potent 15th degree that points to assorted political machinations. Saturn is trolling through the 5th degree of Sagittarius in a grand trine to Mars&Venus so you may be bitten by the travel bug this month.The Sun conjuncts Neptune on Feb.26th which is a fabulous day for lucid dreaming, scuba diving, film-making or soul-memory healing....Last but not least Pluto is at the 15th degree of Capricorn pulling the rug out from under our current planetary electrical magnetic grid. Here is what the Aleph 2160 Zodiac Oracle has to say about this degree:

at the sunset of an aeon
when the compass wavers
& floats
remember Vega
Ma'at
the Spinning Maiden
arranging the steps of RA
you can call it heads or tails
When the Awakener meets the Dissolver
will the poles
flip??

So what pray tell does that mean, JMC? Well we are diving into deep karmic waters & at the threshold of a major Planetary Initiation. About the time that the Sun conjuncts Uranus on April. 6th we will all feel it !!! ( Sun conjunct Uranus, square Pluto, trine Jupiter, the 3rd day of Passover, day after Easter, with the moon in karma lord ruled Scorpio Quincunx the Sun/Uranus conjunction) If you would like to join my annual Passover/ Easter Retreat , likely in Sedona this year just e-mail me personally at josephmarkcohen@gmail.com...It will be a potent & transformational time! And be sure to have a look at the upcoming Shamanic Kabbalah week on Gozo at the heart of the Mediterranean Goddess May 17-24th. Many blessings, great love & safe travels,,,, Joseph-Mark

Scorpio Solar Eclipse Oct.23 2014

It has been a few months since this astrologer has put out a blog...
The reason: a very intense Rosh Hashannah holiday period that included the passing of my dear Aquarian dad, Barry Cohen (1922-2014) combined with a dental/neurological challenge that has gone on for months paralleling that Pluto square & retro square & returning square to this Libran Astrologer's Sun. I have been engaged in a deep meditation on some of my most beloved spiritual friends & have come to the realization that most of them are now on the other side of the veil! So when I say kaddish for my dad I also say kaddish for two beloved rabbis who have crossed over recently: Rav Meir Michel Abehsera & Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi who nurtured a whole new generation of Jewish Renewal teachers into being & circulation. So there are many friends in diverse places that I wish to visit & share with once again. Another dear friend & lifelong inspiration, Roweena Pattee Kryder has also recently crossed over. Her art, her visionary wisdom & her way with sacred geometry has inspired many sensitive souls to follow the "artist's way".
The result of my meditations is a tishuvah or re-turning to the soul work of sharing the deepest level of wisdom teaching from the Kabbalah & putting the astrological career & the promoting of the Crop Circle Oracle Card deck on the back burner. I am also intent upon finally publishing my juicy kabbalah teaching or should I say "evesdropping" novel The Unicorn Messiah . I am contemplating putting together a "webinar " on the 22 fire letters/ cosmic physics formulae of the Hebrew Alphabet & including the reading of assorted episodes of the Unicorn Messiah as curriculum for the webinar. And if you would to do it in person... I can invite you for a retreat during Hanukah Dec.17-22 in Sedona Arizona. (send an email to joseph-mark@treeoflifeschool.com for that)

OK, back to that Eclipse on the first degree of Scorpio the will have us scuba diving our soul records & re-trieving mis-placed parts of self from the dreamtime all month long. What follows is the poem for the 1st degree of Scorpio from my astro-epic poem ( now available as an e-book) Aleph 2160:

in the beginning was the word  hadavar & all it contains what happens 

before

Creation  Light reflecting in a mirror  nutrinos spinning to the right

niflotai

Secrets of the 42 letter Name   we are flying like eagles   sunblind

through a blizzard

(with zero point vision)  sages are counting backwards   skipping stones
searching space

to know  when Adam is created   sleeping with Adamah  divining

the codes   touching

The face of the first New Moon   this morning of day Six

reflecting light contains it all.....

So as I interpret it, it is time now to shine a laser light into the chasm of what has been created personally, socially, collectively, ecologically & environmentally on our dear planet of choice that is undergoing a radical
diminishment of its protective electro-magnetic field. ( Just google Mitch Battross to learn more about that!)

The good news: The New Moon in Scorpio is conjunct Venus which means that new sources of wealth are about to emerge or be found ( in sunken pirate ships??)that likely have to do with scalar waves & the new free energy Zero Point physics. It has been said of Scorpios ( the sun ones & the moon in scorpio as well) that they can walk into a pawn shop & discover treasure unbeknownst to the keeper of the shop!  So this month is a great time for assessing where one's true wealth & real treasure is hiding....
The dangerous days this coming month are November 9th-13th when Mars will be conjuncting Pluto in Capricorn & squaring Uranus in Aries.
This square dance is tres dangerous & could lead to a trembling of our tectonic plates & our shaky economic systems. Consider the metaphor to be a volcanic eruption from beneath the ocean floor! Or maybe yet another remnant of Atlantis will be discovered, a giant pyramid on the ocean floor or soma secret government underwater casino! Watch your favourite esoteric news source for this one!

One more key date: Nov.17th when Sun conjuncts Saturn in Scorpio. That one feels like a heart to heart chat with the Lords of Karma on a day when the Cherokee would be celebrating their arrival from the Pleiades with crystals in a cedar ark... wherever your ancestors came from, remember them & the gifts they shared with you on Nov.17th....

That's all for now, folks.... happy scuba diving!
blessings,
Joseph-Mark

Summer Solstice 2014

re Retrogrades,  Stillpoints
& Magnetic Moments...

The recent Summer Solstice featured 4 planets presently in retrogradation , appearing to be moving backwards against the zodiac from our earthly vantage point. As follows: Mercury, retrograde at 28th degree of Gemini until it goes direct on July 2nd, entering  Cancer on July 13th.
Saturn, retrograde at 17 degrees of Scorpio in a tight quincunx aspect to Uranus in Aries, turning direct on July  20th but still in that "tight quincunx" through much of August. That Q is like the Star Trek character who used to drop in to  challenge the crew with his capacity for time-travel, remote viewing & dimensional hopping! Both Aries & Scorpio are ruled by feisty Mars. It looks like  the sabre- rattling over the Ukraine (& Crimea) will continue between Putin & Obama for a few weeks yet. (There was a very dangerous turning point just before the June 12th full moon. Whatever was going on then rankled this Sun Neptune in Libra astrologer's nervous system)
Neptune is retrograde at the 8th degree of Pisces (the 7th for August, the 6th for Sept., the 5th for Oct. & appears to resume its Piscean sea-troll mid November).
These degrees of the zodiac are about exploring the underworld, karmic backdrops, Atlantean technologies & migration routes etc... Scientists have recently discovered a vast ocean of fresh water under Earth's tectonic plates that your local plastic water bottle company won't have any access to!

Last, but not least Pluto is retrograde in Capricorn all summer long until shortly after the Fall Equinox at erev Rosh HaShannah...If you own a copy of this author's epic gematria oracle Aleph 2160. best to check out degrees 281-285. These are high drama degrees! Soon Aleph 2160 will be available as an e book so you can order it directly at Tree of Life School some months before
 "The Great Transmutation" 

What  follows are a few links to summer events at Crystal Dome Retreat & your invite to the annual UK Crop Circle Journey with Merlin's Roundtable Retreat at Tintagel...

May your summer bring you joy & beauty in a time when many ecological dangers & potential disasters are in the news. Here is an adapted blessing for Gaia-campers: Sleep light & don't let those aliens byte!

The Full Moon in Leo on St. Valentine's Day 2014

Well, the Chinese call it the Year of the Wooden Horse & a few contrarian western astrologers have a hunch it might prove to be a Trojan Horse with some big surprises in store once we cross the true starting gate at Spring Equinox. In the mean time we have a gadfly Mercury presently retrograde in Aquarius not turning direct till March 1st.
Jupiter in Cancer is sparring with Pluto in Capricorn so the guru of the tribal feminine family is rallying forces to deal with the oligarchy, the small c cabal, the banksters & the potent assortment of malefic & catabolic influences afoot on terra infirma... One planet that could tip the scales in favour of the feminine at present is Mars, yes Mars now at 26 degrees (+ a micron) of Libra, doing his best to negotiate between the devil & the deep blue sea. Here is the poem this astrologer wrote a few years ago for the 26th degree (206) of Libra:

     if you should find  a seer  a friend
     born with the gift   of sight
     or a celestial mirror   a woman
     who reads the seasons
     & the signs   who can divine
     the fine line between  what was  what is  & what will be
     if you choose it   make it your own
     design yourself a task belonging to no other
     make an arrangement     a great Tikkune
     a restoration of the primordial   order of things
     singing in a new vision   ben ha Olam haBa
     through the worm-hole    in the beginning
     was the word davar    doorway thru emptiness-form....

well that doesn't sound like Nostradamus, does it?

Mars will turn retrograde on March 2nd & doesn't enter Scorpio till July 26th.... so just keeping one's balance & sense of humour is the task at hand, or so it seems.....

OK, the full moon tomorrow on Vday is at the 27th degree of Leo, close enough to be considered conjunct to the star Regulus, referred to as the Ruler's Staff in Genesis. I call star-beings with that star prominent in their birth chart, the time-line keepers....
So, just for fun... here is a chanelling from the Reguleans... apported from The Unicorn Messiah (novel to published this year )

"We are the Reguleans. And you are the ones who seem to need a few new galactic rules & regulations! We are the spies... the ra--gli--yeem. You might try
but you cannot lie to us.  We know all your secrets. We know what you have hidden from yourself & why. We know who you were before you fell asleep, 13000 years ago. We hold the keys & codes that you will open or will open you once again when the star Regulus reaches zero degrees Virgo in your year 2013. Come with us through the corridors of time. Be still as the Sphinx gazing out at the horizon. Lie like a lizard sunbathing on a hot rock. We will teach you all there is to know. We are the Reguleans.  It is time to arise ( or ascend as you say) We are here to deliver your wake-up call. Come with us... it is time...."

The condensed version....
Time to become a Sovereign Human Being....

So choose your Valentine wisely, live long & prosper & have the best day ever!

PS: Yes, but just until the Sun enters Pisces on the 18th, this astrologer is offering a 2 for the price of 1 on Synastry or Relationship Chart Consulting. Call 250-229-2227  or e mail joseph-mark@treeoflifeschool.com to book....

Oh, & remember to chant Ah or Ah-Ha-Va-Ra-Ba at noon or sunset or at 3:53 Pacific time  tomorrow, Feb.14th

Wisdom Teachings with David Wilcock: Strange Physics Part 1: Atomic Densities

I just watched this David Wilcock episode on Gaiam TV & he has a fascinating story about 2 fellows who come home drunk from a pub night in the UK in the 18th century & one of them gets called by a fairy circle into another space/time matrix.... That does seem to happen to many 21st century crop circle explorers who are not quite drunk on the new Synchronity Elixirs!

The full moon on Nov.17th occurs at the 26th degree of Taurus close to the Pleiades constellation. Nov.17th is celebrated by the Cherokee people as the anniversary of their arrival from the Pleiades with crystals nested in a cedar ark...

You can watch the Full Length Video here.

Let me share with you the degree poems from my Aleph 2160: A Zodiac Oracle for 25/26 degrees of Taurus:

Everything we find is this garden
lies nested inside us
the whole time
All that is
is here now
under one canopy
listen
for the sound
Of broken glass
under the hhatan's foot
listen for
the kallah's kiss
Zahaviel
the whole earth trembles
as the mantle shifts
to a new
Frequency
at the core
we are guests
throwing rice
at the shoreline
Of an unknown inland sea
wherever we journey
we return
HaYam
Ema
Womb-water......

Let us take you downstream.....
where two rivers flow
alongside
one another
Without
intermingling
each with its own separate channel
the rivers
of the living
And the dead
two pink river fresh water dolphins
leap from the dark
rio negro
You will hear the gnawing of piranhas
beneath the giant
lily pads

the echo
Of an Amazon
kingfisher
diving
the hiss of the glistening
Yakumama
Transporting our Ancestors
from the Milky Way
in a dugout canoe........

well.... have a lovely full moon.....& if that Yakumama swallows you
just call on the angel of golden love-light
ZAHAVIEL......


ps: THE NEXT DEPARTURE TO THE FAIRY RINGS AKA CROP CIRCLES IS JULY  24  2014 WITH A 10 DAY JOURNEY TO IRELAND  BEFORE THAT.....

Sun Libra at the Fall Equinox, Sept.22, 2013

I  just returned from a short but sweet ceremony at my Crystal Zodiac Wheel in the cedars  & have friends arriving later tonight for a fall equinox gathering. While in Vancouver at Or Shalom for Yom Kippur, Rav Hillel gave a brilliant talk on the 3  GPS co-ordinates mentioned in the Sefer Yetzirah (Book of Formation): Time, Space & Soul(neshamah) .... This short but potent treatise is the true source book for Kabbalistic Astrology. There are very few professional astrologers who know how to apply the SY teachings to astrology & I have only given courses occasionally, some years ago at the Aleph Kallah & the Open Center in NYC. The Sefer Yetzirah  teaches that there is one Hebrew letter associated with each sign of the zodiac, 7 letters connected to the planets & 3 Mother letters for the elements (Air, Water,Fire). Some kabbalists consider the closest festival to one's birthdate significant in reading the chart of the soul... My preferred method is to map the planets on to the Tree-of-Life chart & utilize the gematria for the degree of the planetary positions for in-depth meaning. What this reveals has been consistently revelatory for over 40 years! I am considering offering a Kabbalistic Astrology Training Seminar in 2014 on the island of Malta in the Mediterranean. Yes Malta was the naval center for Goddess culture but the tiny island of Comino offered a cave home for Rav Avraham Abulafia, where he scribed his numinous gematria coded meditation manuals. So just stay in touch if you would like to join such an adventure next spring!

The Planetary Picture as Sun enters Libra, let`s have a look: Moon is in Taurus  as I write, opposing Venus in Scorpio. This suggests that we will be busy this fall appraising the value of all our assets. I receive a handful of financial newsletters & the consensus is that the USA dollar is on the verge of a nosedive. Saturn & Uranus form a loose quincunx aspect from Scorpio to Aries for most of October. Kabbalistically, the rulers of Binah & Hhochmah are in a highly energized & somewhat paradoxical relationship. One could say that the left brain hemisphere could not fathom what the right hemisphere is doing!

Mercury conjuncts Saturn in Scorpio on Oct.8th, The Sun conjuncts Saturn onNov.7th. Saturn is the god of karma in Greek mythology but the keeper of the gates of understanding &  wisdom within the Kabbalah.

These days will require an outpouring of compassion from our collective consciousness.  Uranus & Pluto are back in their tight square dance as the Sun transits Scorpio, so sudden earth & associated financial changes are likely. Time to redefine what true wealth is all about, one could say!

Mercury goes retrograde from Oct. 21st to Nov.11th in Scorpio so this is the ideal time to reconsider ecological & environmental initiatives. (the annual Bioneers Conference is Oct. 18-20th in San Rafael,California.) Our friend Jupiter, guardian of hhesed on the Tree-of-Life is still in Cancer, bringing soul families & tribal friends together to work on assorted local initiatives. Here in British Columbia a number of municipalities are petitioning the BC government to ban genetically modified foods & roadblock Monsanto. Now that is an example of the power of Jupiter in Cancer!

Mars & Venus are transiting Virgo & Sagittarius (Oct.15th & Oct. 8th  on) so the social planets are in adaptable mutable signs asking us to put our energies to practical & visionary projects. And there is a positive pulse from Arcturian guardians on Oct.17th  & 18th. Come Oct. 31st there is a Quincunx aspect between  Mars & Uranus in Scorpio & Aries so watch out for assorted monsters & mischief makers sporting Star-Trek phasars patrolling your neighbourhood in search of junk food!

(What they really want.... is to taste

your homemade Ecuadorian superfood

cacao!!!!)

PS: All kabbalistic astrology consults/channelings this month will receive a bonus Crop Circle Oracle Card deck.  .Just call 1-888-633-2214 or e-mail josephmarkcohen@gmail.com to book your session...

The Earth Spirit Speaking Tube & KAN (Kabbalistic Astrology Newsletter) Aug.24, 2013

Jose Arguelles spoke of a way of listening to Gaia/Adamah via what he called the telektonin, a method of attuning to messages emanating from the Earth or the Earth Grid directly into the heart/mind/nervous system of attentive Human Beings. Years ago, at the annual portal when Sun aligns zodiacally with the Galactic Centre, I climbed up atop Cathedral Rock in Sedona Arizona to charge a suite of alcohol bottles at one of my favourite Earth Grid Vortex sites. I chose to be in Sedona again at the more recent Dec.21st/2012 moment that was the closure for a 25.625 year cycle according to the Mayan calendar. My choice of sites for charging this elixir (brandy & tequila) was actually Red Rock Crossing (often a site for marriage ceremonials) & my favourite red rock outcropping at Rachel's Knoll. A few young music festival migrants recently visited my Crystal Dome home in the Kootenays & were the first to ask for a taste of this vibrational elixir. And I got out the telektonin elixir to spray over my crown chakra & begin a round of hopefully lucid dreaming!
The results are still pouring in & not always what you could call a pleasant experience. There is quite the buzz on the internet these days around an imminent Solar Flare (that could potential collapse the American electrical grid) & assorted apocalyptic & pseudo-scientific viewings of incoming comets & UFOs.
Let's call it Nibiru-itis!

I will enclose a few links pertaining to Crop Circle Messages that tend towards the sensational side at closure of this blog.
It is a useful to check out NASA's SpaceWeather or Mitch Battros's Earth Changes Report view when a CME will be glancing our planet's electromagnetic field & ruffling the feathers  of our aura.
I often carry magnetite with me so as to remember that which I like to remember when  a cme pulls the rug out from under our sandals, so to speak.   I particularily like the advice of Tom Kenyon's Hathors channeling that suggests that gratitude for small gifts of beauty, harmony & synchronicity is a good medicine for "chaotic node" times...

SYNCHRONICITY is the word I hear most this summer from friends in the UK & crop circle savants. So let's have a peak at the astrological transits as Sun enters zodiacal Virgo.(Aug.22nd) Mercury has just entered Virgo as well(23rd). The 25th is potent day with a Sun/Mercury conjunct at the 153rd degree of the zodiac (resonant with Bezalel: ark of the covenant fabricator in Hebrew & MM, Mary Magdelene in Greek gematria... see the 153 fishes mentioned in the Yohannine gospel) Venus in Libra is exactly opposed Uranus on the 26th of September. Mars enters Leo on the 27th & during this whole week we have what is called a Cardinal Fixed Cross or double opposition of Jupiter/Pluto (Cancer/Capricorn) & Venus/Uranus (Libra/Aries). Big cosmic & cultural changes & surprising new beginnings for those with planets 10-13 degrees of the cardinal signs.....

The Hebrew New Year, Rosh Ha Shannah 5774 is just around the corner at the Virgo New Moon on Sept.5th so we will have a deeper look into Kabbalistic Astrology in the next blog....
And for those of you who would like to have your KA tree-of-life chart cast & interpreted... that can happen in September...

I am enclosing a few wild crop circle videos for you to ponder.
The season in Britain is not yet over. I am looking for hosts for my Crop Circle Mysteries Seminar this fall (3 hour slide show)
& have a special offer happening for the Crop Circle Oracle Card Deck for orders that come in before Sept.5th.... This includes wholesale orders for shops as well. Just call me on 888-633-2214 or e-mail joseph-mark@treeoflifeschool.com

Water Water Water at the New Moon in Cancer July 8,2013

Well the floodgates of human emotion have been opened wide with this new moon & this month's Grand Trine in the Water Signs: Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio & Neptune in Pisces...( with the addition of Mars at the 5th degree of Cancer July 19,20 &21)
As I write this blog tonight, the environ of Toronto is experiencing a flash flood, Calgarians are still a tad waterlogged & my domeside glacial creek is a majestic polyphonic cascade of macro & micro waterfalls... I hear there is some bickering going on in Africa regarding the Nile River water-rights! And the tears of the people of Egypt could create a salt water lake in the desert tonight as I write... In Feb. 2012 I ventured out in the Sinai to visit a monk whom I have known for some years at the St. Catherines Monastery. The Egyptian Government & my tour operator had vetoed my stay there ( & a visit to Serabit el Hhadim as well) however my daytrip was heart-warming. My old friend, Father Justin suggested that Egyptians perhaps had something to learn from all the Russian tourists that were snorkling like human submarines  & smoking up a storm at Sharm el Sheikh. When I asked "what", he smiled & suggested that a Revolution takes a lot longer than a day, a week or a month to transpire.... My home is graced with photos, poofs & small treasures from Egypt &  I pray with all my heart that Ma'at, cosmic harmony, returns to guide the destiny of the people in the land of Mitzriyeem. A recent guest at the Crystal Dome was ranting about the  neurological dangers of those not-so-smart-meters & reminded me of the beautiful work of Ibrahim Karim, founder of Biogeometry. I believe he is living now in Canada near Montreal.
 Go ahead, just google him!

Here is a little poem from 
Aleph 2160: A Zodiac Oracle 
for the degree of this new moon:

We are wilderness children  
belly-dancing  our sinuous Hathor rhythms
Round a golden calf  
mirage  remember the anger of Moshe
As our eyes withstood  
the Sinai vision then  
when we are ready
The temple is destroyed 
Let us surrender  
all images & versions
Of the Story  
all our amulets & talismans   
fetishes & chutchkas
Attachments & expectations  
to whatever  veils us from the truth....

OK, back to that Grand Trine. Jupiter ( & Mars as of July 14th) in Cancer should offer: a healing of the heart & a summer full of good music & extended tribal family gatherings. Saturn in Scorpio is a tap on the karmic shoulder from the Karma Lords... And a transmission on how exactly to let go of our attachments. A  scuba diving journey to underwater Asclepions.... Neptune in Pisces offers us a chance at dissolving karmic patterns that have been holding us hostage...( both personal & collective).

The guiding star this month is Sirius, presently in the duat, hidden from view , but preparing to rise with Sun & inundate the Nile. With the wisdom & compassion of Aset (aka Isis) at a time when our world needs it the most...

Asalem aleikum... Om shalom....

Earth Mysteries Travel & KAN Summer Solstice 19/06/2013

The exact moment of the Summer Solstice here in the Pacific Northwest is 10:04pm on the 20th of June this year. Given a rather soggy spring season, Cascadians & Kootenites are visualizing a sunnier summer! A very late spring in the UK has set the Crop Circle season back a few weeks & weakened the earth palette for our beloved inter-dimensional sacred geometry mandalas in the wheat fields. However, they will begin in earnest very soon.
So let me invite you right now to join me July 23-Aug.1 on our annual pilgrimage to UK megaliths, Glastonbury, Tintagel, the Devizes Summer Lectures, & the 2013 Crop Circles... ( just click on cropcircleoraclecards.com for details)

OK, the upcoming Astrological Transits.

The planet Jupiter is conjunct the Sun today as I am writing this blog at the 29th degree of Gemini. It is close to our present pole star Polaris, so a good day to meditate on unified field consciousness! I will wait till the stars are visible tonight & do a crystal meditation, Sufi style, to call in some healing vibrations for assorted Mideastern countries suffering from a fundamentalist sclerosis (Egypt, Turkey, Syria). Today is the birthday anniversary of one of my dearest teachers & meditation mentor, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan. His sister died in the concentration camps & Pir Vilayat was a guide & mentor for a number of Jewish mystics in the 70s....

OK, back to astrology! Jupiter makes its grand debut entrance into zodiacal Cancer on the 26th of June. That day is blessed with a sweet grand trine in water: Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio & Neptune in Pisces, all in the 6th degree of their respective signs. So the 26th (also with moon in Aquarius & Mercury turning retrograde at 23 degrees of Cancer) is a pivotal turning point, a time for healing by water, an attuning to the tribal emotional healing vibrations. That said, on July 2nd, the Sun will be opposed Pluto, a day where we may see profound protests in Egypt ( against the Morsi gov't) & some financial shock-waves as well... The good news, you ask? Well Mars is conjunct the degree of our (binary) starmate Sirius.

( You can learn more about this via Walter Cruttenden's
Lost Star of Myth & Time & the channelings of Patricia Cori. Aboriginal teachings from Oz suggest that the whales & dolphins emigrated to our water planet aeons ago & might be ascending soon due to oceanic pollution!)

The planet Mars reaches the 6th degree of Cancer on July 21st when it is conjunct Jupiter. This is a great day for Music Festivals here in the Pacific NW. The Sun enters Leo on July 23rd.

I will post a day by day transit graph for July & August at www.treeoflifeschool.com in a week or so. I will available for telephone consults (1-888-633-2214, I am not Skyping these days) until July 18th & if you would like to participate in the  Astrology, Alchemy & Aromatherapy Seminar at the Crystal Dome Retreat July 11-17th, there are still 3 or 4 spaces available. (or in the UK at Tintagel: July30-Aug.1)

Wishing you the best for a harmonious summer!
blessings, Joseph-Mark

Earth Mysteries Travel Blog at the Gemini Solar Flare & Beyond.....

That full moon at 4 degrees Gemini/Sagittarius is going to barrage your inbox, your daytimer, your dreamcatcher & your nervous system with 1001 newsworthy items in the next fortnight so we will be as succinct as can be! Geminis & the planets  co-habiting the zodiac degrees thereof just love the juicy little details of elan vitale whereas Saggies go for grand philosophical metapatterning, the big magnetic fields that hold all particles in the grand array... And btw, solar flares that glance or ruffle our Earth's magnetic field tend to fray the human nervous system, confuse our migration routes & re-arrange the heart/mind circuitry.... So here are but a few new zodiacal mezza appetizers:

Sun, Mercury,Venus & Jupiter (until June 26) & Mars

(May 21-July 14) are all zooming thru  Gemini so unless you are on some Saturn in Scorpio scuba diving silence retreat your ears will be filled with gossip, your mind will be connecting all the dots & you will have a gzillion places to go & people to meet....

That full moon was square Neptune at 5 degrees (+) of Pisces. So that old Atlantian god of the seas will bring you dreams of polymorphously perverse ( apologies to Norman O Brown) dolphins & assorted aquatic hallucinations... The good news: a planetary mikvah, purification by Water....

Another exact squaring off of  Pluto in Capricorn versus Uranus in Aries...the pillaging of Earth's mineral resources vs. the release of the new infinite free energy Quantum Universe devices, aka Zero Point Energy... as we are being zapped with gamma rays & having our Planetary Assemblage Point shifted by the Galactic Shamans & Allies.... Just visit Mitch Battross's Earth Changes Media or Spaceweather.com for earthgrid gossip....

Ah, here is a little poem for the 5th degree of Sagittarius where the moon was nibbled at on May 25th... 

If you should detect   a quasar  tapping at your thymus gland

Or find a cloak

     like Elijah's     seamless garment         enveloping your field

From head to toe   know  that the mysteries of Adam Kadmon

Are as near as your larynx  whispering  dark matter

 thru our Universe

Permeating this 13.7 billion year old   burst 

                   of  hydrogen & helium     we call the Big Bang

Look at all the Machos   Wimps  axions & nutrinos

hiding in the Halo

To  get a new spin on our Omniverse, I am re-reading Walter Cruttenden's fascinating book: Lost Star of Myth & Time, which gathers all the data suggesting  we have a binary starmate & that the present Greek, Mayan & Astronomical myth of a 26.000 |( 25, 525, 25,920) year Galactic Orbit due to the tilt in the earth's axis is a cosmic misperception! 

( If you have your Crop Circle Oracle Card deck handy, meditate on card # 81 before reading about our StarMate, if not just go to www.cropcircleoraclecards.com to fetch one!)

Well, whether we are witnessing the Disappearance of the Universe ( as we knew it with 3d eyes & ears), climbing the dimensional staircase, being beamed up or just experiencing a few galactic speed bumps.....

I can invite you to join me on the upcoming July 23-Aug 2 tour to MYSTICAL BRITAIN to explore megaliths, Crop Circles & much more.... or come to the Pacific Northwest & be a guest at the Crystal Dome Retreat......

Here is your invitation to 2 upcoming summer intensive seminars at the Crystal Dome Retreat, Kootenay Lake, BC Canada.

The July 11-16 Astrology, Alchemy & Aromatherapy Seminar is truly magical & it will also be offered as a 3 day course entitled Merlin's Roundtable at Tintagel, Cornwall UK July 30-Aug.1 (fee is £300)

The August 22-27 Shamanic Kabbalah Retreat at the Crystal Dome is our annual summerschool. This retreat will be offered in Glastonbury UK  July 23-25 in the 3 day course format (fee is £300)  email josephmarkcohen@gmail.com to begin the registration process....

You are also invited to just come to the Crystal Dome this summer for B&B or a private retreat.... Click here (Crystal Dome Retreat) to learn more...

12.12.12 & the Mayan Calendar Border Crossing

Dear Celebrants, Ceremonialists, Galactics,

 Starseeds, Starwalkers & Solar Initiates,

Many friends & astrological clients have asked me how I might be celebrating the

upcoming 12.12.12  & the Mayan Calendar Border Crossing. So many emails speculating

on assorted potential catalyst events have arrived concerning: Pole Shifting, Nibiru passage,

3 days of darkness, Dimensional Border Crossing, 5th Dimensional Access Codes, Sun to Earth

Birth Canal, 8 Minutes of Galactic Beam Infusion,Disclosure & Landing of ET Friends.....

I confess I am an old fashioned astrologer with a deep fascination with astronomy, star-lore, calenders, & zodiacal mythography... So what follows is how I intend to focus consciousness from Dec. 12th to Dec.23rd. Where I am planning to be at this time is a secret that only my closest soul friends  know!

The most potent astrological signature during this time involves an exact Yod or Finger of the Divine Formation involving Saturn, Pluto & Jupiter at the 9th degree of Scorpio, Capricorn & Gemini respectively.

 Yod formations are known to catalyze enhanced perception & conscious awareness of the Great Mystery.

So what may be happening in 3D physical plane reality & 5D Overself GPS, not to mention 4D dreaming may appear rather incongruent. All that is required of us is acceptance, surrender,love & gratitude, I imagine.

 I am inviting you to join me with these various attunements, meditations & ceremonials from wherever you may be. I have friends linking uo in Mexico (Chichen-Itza, Teotehuacan, Palenque, hopefully Coba) Tikal, ElMirador, Machu Pichu, Vilcabamba, Mt. Shasta, Sedona, Boulder, Haleakala NYC, Giza, Jerusalem, Bali , Byron Bay, Avebury & Glastonbury to name just a few. Would be delighted to hear  from you where on Earth (or deep space)  you will be for this once-every 26.000 year turning point!!!

What follows is a day by day attunement on various individual stars & constellations beginning with the Pisces age which is closing, moving back in a time wave re-capitulation until we arrive at the Age of Aquarius, one day for each astrological age of approximately 2160 years.... Here goes:

Dec.12th, Pisces: the 12.12.12 will be celebrated at assorted sacred sites this year by many "spiritual" groups. In Kabbalistic symbolism the 12 is the letter Lamed, the turning point, the still point, the orbital reversal moment, the pause between in-breath & out breath, the turn to return. 12x30 is 360 the full circle. 12x12 is 144 the doors of perception, kedem.. that which is ancient, pre-eternal, a biquintile aspect in astrology of evolutionary creativity.

Being aware of the rather high spiritual ideals that the Piscean Age began with & the extraordinary subversion of these ideals by religions that went astray (or calcified into cruel dogma) this day is devoted to clear all subconscious & karmic belief systems to live in the multi-dimensional present moment, knowing the cosmos in the chaos, so to speak!

The star attunement would be to the Pegasus Constellation or to the star Achernar. The prayer or affirmation would have to do with releasing all our assorted addictions. You could call the 12.12.12 a great day for Planetary Ho-O-Pono-Pono !

Dec. 13th: Day 2 of the 12 Days of Light is symbolic of the Age of Aries which was often a time of tribal warfare. So this day the meditation concerns the resolution of tribal conflicts & frictions that have continued to rage on our planet right into the "nuclear" age. The new moon at 22 degrees of Sagittarius speaks of the awakening of "superconscious mind" & the arrival of a higher Light (Or Elyon) at places of power on the Earth Grid (oracle 262 from Aleph 2160). The constellational attunement is to the Andromeda Galaxy. Rumour has it that Andromedans occasionally visit Earthlings in the form of a swirling blue pearl of iridescent light.

Dec.14th: Day 3 reminds us of the Age of Taurus which was a time of great megalithic building of stone temples & earth fertility celebrations at solstices, equinoxes, new & full moons. The constellation to attune to this day is the Pleiades & its primary star Alcyone. Tribal elders of the Mayan, Cherokee & Hopi all share stories of their star ancestors arriving from the Pleiades (reported in the Star Ancestor Legend books via Nancy Red Star)  This is a good day to initiate a series of crystal & sonic meditations & ceremonials along with indigenous Arts Festivals.

Dec.15th:  Day 4 brings us to the Age of Gemini & the theme involves language & the impact of "scriptures". This is the day that the 83 million people of Egypt are voting upon a controversial new constitution. Our star meditation could take us to the 3 stars of the  belt of Orion, Alnilam, Alnitak & Mintaka ( the rumoured home star of Zehhuti aka Thoth the Atlantean). There will no doubt be an activation at the Great Pyramid of Giza on this day. Our meditations could focus on the guidance of the Hathors ( see the ongoing channeling of Tom Kenyon ) for attaining non-dual states of consciousness this day & activating the KA body of Light...

Dec.16th: Day 5 is resonant with the zodiac sign Cancer & the Great Mother Goddess of the Mediterranean. The star attunement connects us to our neighbouring star Sirius (& also to Canopus). The Sirian star system has sent us peaceful & playful emissaries in the form of Whales & Dolphins so this day is an honouring of Gaia/Adamah's oceans & sea creatures who share our water planet. The idea here is to islands of light & pods of consciousness that can catalyze the New Earth...

Dec. 17th: Day 6 is directly connected to our Sun, Shemesh/Ra & resonant with the Age of Leo. The key star to attune to today/tonight is Regulus which has reached 0 degrees of Virgo (the Sphinx degree of the Zodiac) & speaks of the imminent opening of Earth's various "Halls of Records". These may be available today in the akasha realms & for time-travellers. The Moon Neptune conjunction today should help out today. There will be a deep pulsation of Love & Light emanating from Konya, Turkey where followers of Rumi will be spinning galactic this day. An intense Solar Flare is likely at this time, a Solar Heart Initiation.

Dec. 18: Day 7: Attunement this day to the interplay & balance between macrocosmic & microcosmic, individual & collective, human & divine worlds (so to speak). The Virgo Age (Archetype) has been mythologized by poets as the work of the beehive collective preserving honey. This day then becomes a celebration of the Healing Arts. Consider that stellar vibrations could serve as acupuncture treatments for the Earth Grid. Crop Circles might just be the visible result of this energy transmission. The theme of this day is how we are to be attuned Co-Creators (CCOC owners, meditate on cards 6.18.36 & 72 today) According to Maurice Chatelain, Cosmic Ancestors pinpointed a map of the Virgo Constellation in France where now we find cathedrals. This day is a good day to celebrate with overtone harmonic chanting in your favourite resonance chamber!

Dec.19th: Today is the day the Sun is at the zodiacal degree that resonates with the Galactic Centre. The star meditation connects us to the Arcturians today (Arcturus appearing in zodiacal Libra). You may want to attune to the vibration of your favourite Ascended Master (Tzaddik or Guru) today. (Perhaps Osho (a Sagittarian trickster if ever there was one) will send his devotees a message today) This is a good day to do a few Merkavah meditations & connect with Mettatron (aka Enoch).

The Earth may be experiencing a shuffling of its magnetic field today so Go Within & be centred in your heart of hearts.....

Dec. 20th:  The Scorpio era/mythos has to do with the Journey into & through the Underworld, a deep sea scuba diving adventure to discover hidden treasure. So this day is a day to retreat within the cave of the soul to make peace with one's personal & collective shadow energies. It is a great day for blessing & release ceremonials. There may be some adjustment of tectonic plates floating on the magma today. The moon conjunct Uranus in Aries throws us a lightning bolt of illumination, a zen satori... The star attunement is to our nearby neighbour, rumoured home of benevolent Watchers,

the Angels from Alpha Centauri.... Best to be a Buddha today!

Dec.21st: The Winter Solstice Sunrise in Northern Hemisphere (Summer Solstice in Southern) is the prophesied end of the Mayan Long count calendar & the beginning of a New Era of Peace & Harmony on Planet Earth.. The meditation is with the Sun as it aligns with the Galactic Plane. The human heart has always been the chalice for Unified Field Consciousness & Loving Connection with All Our Relations.  Wherever you may be geographically, the hour before sunrise is a key meditation portal time today.

Dec.22: The day after represents the symbolic era of Capricorn, rekindling the solar energy, the work of restoration & rebuilding after the lightning bolt of cosmic realization. The key star in the Capricorn sector of the Zodiac is Vega in Lyra. Vega was once the Pole Star & may be so again (as long as we don't get tipped or bumped again). In Egyptian mythology, Vega is known as the goddess Ma'at. She is the goddess of Cosmic Harmony & Harmonics. Rumour has it that the language of beings from Vega is pure music!

Dec. 23rd: The 12th & final initiation of the 12 Days of Galactic Light is a symbolic inauguration of the Age of Aquarius, not exactly the 70's rock opera version one!

The Aquarian Age that is palpable & in our hearts is an era planetary harmony, free energy, abundance & inter-dimensional & galactic communication that lifts the veil at the border crossings! The star meditation for this day/night is to the Cygnus constellation. Key stars are Deneb & Cygnus X-3, which you can learn more about by reading Andrew Collin's masterful book: The Cygnus Mystery.

I do not know yet how the Mayan elders will choreograph their upcoming inauguration ceremonial but I am sure it will be heartful & beautiful.
