Kabbalistic Astrology
Newsletter Summer Solstice 2002
Dear Friends,
Tomorrow's
full moon in Capricorn with Sun at 3 degrees of Cancer and Moon at 3
degrees of Capricorn augers well for a summer full of family
gatherings and festivals that should cheer us all up and release some
of the accumulated psychic tensions that have built up from six months
of the Saturn-Pluto opposition in Gemini -Sagittarius. That
aspect is finally releasing and the arrival of the planet Jupiter in
Leo at the beginning of August will set in motion a new wave of
positive energies and creative projects that have been on the runway
for some time but stalled by the climate of fear & hesitation that
has been with us since 9/11. So the astrological weather is good this
summer, particularily at the beginning of July when Mars and Jupiter
are conjunct for about a week. In traditional western astrology this
alignment gives the go-ahead or green light to projects and energies
that are humanitarian and move us in the direction of the collective
good. Kabbalistically, Mars is the planet that is associated with
Gevurah -- energy, discipline, clear boundaries, self-mastery -- and
Jupiter is the planet associated with Hhesed -- compassion, caring,
love & healing. The syzygy of the two help bring into alignment a
balance between the forces of love and will in the Universe and
particularily in the family matrix as the planets are aligned in the
zodiac sign of Cancer. In a certain sense it is a time of Vision
Quest once again as we enter a kind of Void or empty space that
beckons us to get creative, align with a new vision, choose it and
bring it in to the world of manifestation.
Allow me to
share with you the first 3 lines of the Cancer section of my epic poem
Aleph 2160. This poem, as those of you who have had personal
kabbalistic astrology readings know, is rooted in zodiacal degree
symbolism and the intricate numerology of Hebrew Gematria. Here goes
:
Look over the marker stone to where the sun
rises where light beams stream thru
the doorway two daggers of light meet
between sun glyph and spiral time to
deposit
our prayer sticks in the sun shrines a
pillar of light floods the spot
Tse'neh'na'ch'diz'sjan
where water paints a picture of
itself caressing the sandstone in antelope
canyon
a shaft shines past the condor
stone touching Pachamama's cave at Machu
Pichu
a night of lightning look:the
horses our pipe-carrier prayer's go up
ha'elohim
rainbow surrounding devil's
tower align each thought word or
deed
Look into your own heart love the mystery
of arriving
at the star where you first came
from your source star
look out over the water to where the moon
splinters kamalapukwia
into a million molecules filiments of
silver b'ruahh kadeem azah
the keruvim are watching over
us preparing the merkavah
the sky our kiva circle centre
here where your heart sings
Shielded by a star-of-david held like
a newborn to Sirius pure mirror of the Self
open your eyes child come
with us to Cuzco Delphi Har Tabor at the world's
navel
connect your silver thread to
the angel of each constellation
there is an auric
sheath guarding
each embryo
Can you find for
me one
angel with two missions
or two humans who
share the same life purpose?
So, it is a time now for new births, a time
of new directions and alignments to that which we call the
Source.
I will send out yet another Kan within the week with
that aspectarian for key dates and transits for the summer. I
would like to invite you to consider participating in this year's
Summer School at the Crystal Dome on Lake Kootenay from August
22-31st. This is a Vision Quest or a Vision Nest Retreat that offers
you an eclectic pot-pourri of vibrational medicine, holistic
astrology, Kabbalistic Healing & Meditation at a time when the
weather is often the best in this Kootenay region of British Colombia
where I live. Logistic details are posted on the website and you can
always call me directly at my home number for more information.
I am also considering beginning a year long Tree-of-Life School
program in September in Toronto and plan to be there between July
10-20th on a special family visit. Do let me know if you would like to
rendez-vous at that time.
And
last, but certainly not least, I am putting out the invitation
for a few Tree-of-Life Benefactors to step forward, as there is the
opportunity this summer for me to purchase the Crystal Dome Retreat
and this requires just a touch of financial support to accomplish. A
Benefactor is a geneourous Being who would like to sponsor a strudent
for either the Summer School Program, A Private Kabbalah Vision Nest
Retreat, or perhaps book a retreat for him/herself at the Crystal Dome
within the year. So let me hear from you, soon. Toda
Raba & thank you for your support of this
work.
with blessings and great
light,
