Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a hidden choir singing during a religious service" (unified voices, spiritual connection, unseen help)
Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (the recalibration or re-tuning of human consciousness)
Welcome to the New Moon in Capricorn -- a shift point, a time of realignment, a time to raise the bar, a time to unify, and a time to reach another octave of this solar-lunar year's "music of the spheres" or re-tuning of human consciousness.
The New Moon in Capricorn occurs at 20 Capricorn and the Sabian symbol of "a hidden choir singing during a religious service." Pluto is in close conjunction at 16 Capricorn and the Sabian symbol of "in a hospital, the children's ward is filled with toys." So, we might surmise that the choir is singing during a service at a hospital chapel or temple or such.
As I have often repeated lately, we, the "children" of the Earth (Gaia Sophia) and Sky (Thelete), are a traumatized species with a sickness of the mind, body, and soul. A "dis-ease" plagues us. In this way, we are metaphorically the children in the hospital where prayers are healing and bringing joy. A higher power is in service.
The locations of the other planets, fill out the story of the upcoming month for us:
1- REVERENCE AND UNITY: The "hidden choir singing" implies the unifying or harmonizing of voices. People will come together on an even greater scale than we have been witnessing recently. People on seemingly opposite sides of the poles or the issues will see the wider scope of what is happening and unite against anything that stands against the value, reverence, and respect for life and liberty.
The theme of spirituality recurs with Mars discharging the energy of 04 Scorpio and the symbol of "a youth holding a lighted candle in a devotional ritual." Some of the "children" in the hospital "chapel" are obviously well enough to be a part of the service. They are illuminating the way, with dedication and devotion to the fellowship. It is a good idea to light a candle during the New Moon phase and state your intentions, hopes, wishes, and dreams for the future.
Mars is in trine (120 degrees) to Neptune, which has been toggling back over 08 Pisces and the Sabian symbol of "a girl blowing a bugle." Neptune has been sounding the call of awakening for several months, and, in turn, we have watched what has been hidden come to light and watched masses of people wake up to the understanding that there is indeed a terrestrial and spiritual conspiracy waging against humanity. Saturn is located at 13 Sagittarius and "a widow's past is brought to light," casting away darkness and the past. Mars rules energy, and will empower the girl's bugle, strengthening the sound of awakening and enlightenment.
Adding to the theme, Chiron is making a sextile (60 degrees apart) to the New Moon, at 18 Pisces and the symbol of "in a huge tent, a famous revivalist conducts his meeting with a spectacular performance." Chiron is the energy of wounding, healing, and teaching. The potential for historic speeches, charismatic leadership, and spiritual inspiration to bring wisdom and healing is "spectacular." We are aware that with this also comes the high potential for deception and leading others down a dark path. We look to the strength of the truths that we hold to be self-evident and based in solid structure, foundation, and service to others, not to that which is erratic and transient and has the sole purpose of display and service to self.
At the New Moon, Venus is located at 14 Sagittarius and the symbol of "the pyramids and the sphinx." This reinforces the notion that we rely on the ancient sources of wisdom and those things with fortitude and foundation for guidance. Egypt is obviously highlighted this month with Venus located at this degree for the New Moon, and, like all of the planets, making an unfolding imprint for the entire lunar month.
2- DIVINE MESSAGES: While the Sabian symbol for the New Moon and its hidden choir of unified voices delivers messages from "on high," and Mercury, The Messenger, is disseminating the energy of 29 Capricorn and "a woman reading tea leaves." Mercury is retrograde, so messages and information on how to revise, re-work, and realign anything is present. Tea leaves are abstract and symbolic, reading from the collective consciousness and individual consciousness. We will see and hear the signs and understand what we need to do.
3- COURAGE: When we see and hear the signs and understand what we need to do, a degree of courage may be needed in order to follow through. We are raising the bar and coming to a higher level with things, which is a change. Changes often require courage or a leap of faith. This we have in abundance with Jupiter discharging the energy of "a lion-tamer rushes fearlessly into the circus arena." We face our fears and proceed anyway, regardless of the amount of chaos on the stage of the world circus.
Courage to begin again, do something over, or do something a different way after what appears to be a loss comes with the Black Moon discharging the energy of "after a storm, a boat landing stands in need of reconstruction." What we perceive to be a loss of something may be quite temporary. The Hidden Choir of Spirit is behind the scenes implementing Second Renaissance, so no fear, only faith and courage.
The courage to approach people, places, and things in hopes of gaining favor is implied with the Earth located at 20 Cancer and the Sabian symbol of "Venetian gondoliers in a serenade."
This month, we open our hearts, unite, and rise for the return of balance and wisdom to the collective of humanity. We rise for Second Renaissance.
OPEN REPLY TO JOHN LASH AND ACCUSATIONS OF PLAGIARISM AGAINST ME:
You err, John Lash. Twice now.
Once, last August when you invoked black magic with the recitation of my name three times and pronounced me a charlatan. Doing so, you encountered the full return of your intentions with Shodashi's Wave. What has become of you since?
Second, earlier this week you secretly directed your "Kalika War Party" to attack me, which was quickly brought out into the open. This time, you could not even direct your "war party" to the proper "target," mistaking my first name as Lisa. What has become of you is evident.
And now, after your dark intentions have been brought to light, you address me with duplicity in open forum. I reply to your allegations for the last time.
For the record:
My instruction with the Mahavidyas, the Wisdom Goddesses, began years before I read Not In His Image. You quoted from our correspondence that the only things I had read on the Mahavidyas were from your website and the few things about them online. The key here is the word read. I read those things, very few of which were in any way congruent with my direct experiences with the Mahavidyas. Some of our experiences have been similar, but mostly not. I encourage free and open individual interaction with the Goddesses. You demand that people adhere to your dogma and paradigm, connecting with them through you.
Further, you claim intellectual property rights for reverse-engineering the Nag Hammadi codices, ancient books discovered in a cave in Egypt in 1945, in conjunction with early, anti-Gnostic Christian writers. We are eternally grateful for this effort, and I have credited you on numerous occasions. I linked to your article "Fall of the Wisdom Goddess" on Oracle Report until you formed your "Kalika War Party," at which time I felt I could no longer link to your site, because I feel it profanes the Goddess. Still, I often cite your work publicly, and privately refer clients to the article on a regular basis, pointing out our differences in opinion.
You are deceived. To claim ownership of the story of Sophia is no different than claiming ownership of the Bible. Your blindness is paralleled only by the Demiurge. The story of Sophia is the story of We The People.
Let it be known to all that John Lash recovered the story of Sophia.
In fairness, I will cite your article, without hyperlink, on a standing page of Oracle Report, with disclaimer that I do not endorse the bulk of your work, the "Kalika War Party," nor your intellectual treatment of the Mahavidyas.
As for your attempt to reconcile your type of astrology with mine, there is little to compare. We work from totally different paradigms. Unlike you, I do not feel that your work with the constellations is superior to traditional Western astrology. I do not endorse hierarchy. I navigate, with the Sun, on a daily basis, on average 350 days per year. I do so in service to my oath to the Mahavidyas. My work stands on its own. I have no need to defend it.
Despite our differences, I would be overjoyed for you to restore the sovereignty of your mind and join humanity - instead of separating yourself out - as we co-create with the united Sacred Feminine and Masculine, for I believe your mind is still capable of holding brilliance.
We have no time for division, and we have no time for this. As we speak, the Demiurge is unleashing mass rape upon humanity and the final play is at hand. I speak for many. We implore you to create, not destroy, in the name of Wisdom.
Sophia acousome.
