Waning Crescent Moon with Venus at the First Gate Dec 2, 2010

On December 2, 2010 Venus enters the first gate into the Underworld when the waning Moon conjuncts Venus (1 Scorpio) representing the seventh chakra. The Sumerians described the cosmological cycle of Venus through the Story of Inanna, Queen of Heaven, as a way to understand and to keep track of the Venus cycle.

The 2010 Summer Solstice is exact at 4:30 am PDT on June 21. This marks the movement of the Sun into zero Cancer and completes a Grand Cross of energy marked by Jupiter and Uranus at zero Aries, Saturn (28 Virgo 14) almost at zero Libra returning to the zero Libra point in late July, and Pluto at 4 Capricorn. On June 26 there will be a partial Lunar eclipse with the Moon at 4 Capricorn conjunct Pluto near the Galactic Cross.

This opens a two week window from the Lunar Eclipse to the Total Solar Eclipse on July 11… this means we are entering the Eclipse Cauldron taking us between the worlds of what is ending and what is beginning.

To sit in Council is to sit with intent to speak from your heart when it is your turn to speak, and to listen with your heart when others speak in turn. It is to sit in a Sacred Circle that your thinking maybe rounded rather than linear, whole rather than compartmentalized. One may uphold the Spirit of Council alone or with others, at work or in ceremony, on a mountain or in a valley…Wherever we are, whatever we are doing, we may join hearts and “sit” together in Celestial Earth Council to co-determine our New Earth destiny, above and below, within and without.
