The Stars Above, Reflect Upon the Earth Below, The Ram Opposes the Power of the Mob and a New Scorpio Moon Gives Birth to a Phoenix

As if the Mars and Pluto dance is not enough, as they form their first opposition since they met up and perfected on St. Valentine’s Day, last February 14^th of this year at 00* Aquarius.  They oppose each other on November 3^rd at the anoretic (ending) degrees 29* 45’ Cancer (The Royal Arch) and Capricorn respectively.  (Yes, just in time to stoke up animosity and aggression for ELECTION DAY in U.S.) Mars will station retrograde December 5^th at 6*9’ Leo and they will Oppose each other again on January 3^rd at 01*03’ Leo/Aquarius, and that is obviously just in time to rattle the antagonistic energies of U.S. election certification.

“If not for the sake of the elect…(ELECTION)”

Notice, they oppose each other minutes away from their conjunction at 00* Aquarius.  That was the SEEDING for this event and this very time.

The US went through the GREAT USA FIRE ECLIPSE PYRAMID ON April 8^th at 19*24’ Aries.  I have written about that extensively.
This whole time is a POWERFUL AND EXPLOSIVE CAULDRON.

Pluto rules THE MOB, Mars is WAR/ACTION/ENERGY/AMBITION/DESIRE, especially in combination with Pluto.  This pretty much guarantees, Election disruption, ANGER, MOBS FORMING, and A LOT OF HIDDEN ACTIONS.

That is not enough, said the gods…let’s also throw some squares, Venus at 11* Sagittarius and Saturn/EL (yes as in EL ection)/Lord of the Rings is retrograde at 13* Pisces, pushing what we love and VALUE, (this will bring up foreign interference claims, valid or not in this Election, mark my words) and also triggering what goes on behind the scenes, especially with the ‘MOB’ rulers of Pluto (also what is hidden) and Mars, in threatening if not (CAUTION) WARRING ACTIONS) Venus squares the NIGHTSKY EMPRESS who as she moves will both square Venus and Oppose Saturn in her transit in Virgo, and she gathers the energy to square Jupiter retrograde at 20* Gemini, that is going to force that MUTABLE cross, wanting CHANGE and a MAJOR SHIFT OF ENERGY.  A few hours later, Lady Luna will EXACTLY OPPOSE Retrograde Neptune who is at 27*33’ Pisces and Luna are in the same degree of Virgo.

Talk about CONFUSION! You may feel as though you are looking through binoculars and can’t quite focus.  On top of this, a GRAND WATER TRINE, moon and Jupiter at 20* Gemini...helping that tense energy.  Again, bringing it home...CANCER.
We will have some SUPPORTIVE ENERGY FROM THE STARS IN THE WATERS ABOVE TOO.

Neptune also rules ILLUSIONS, so it can ‘NOT SO CLEARLY’ create a lot of disbelief around what is happening.  UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE.

I would not want to TRAVEL DURING THIS TIME.

STORMS BREWING…and this affects the whole world, so can also stoke up the war fervor, and we know that during precarious times, adversary’s can wish to take advantage.

So, look to the ending degrees of the Cardinal signs: Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, and Libra and early degrees of the FIXED signs, Aquarius, TAUrus, Scorpio, and Leo to see MAJOR SHIFTS OF ENERGY.  Look to those points, planets in your own chart, to see how this will affect you personally.

You can feel an URGENCY or EXIGENCY to complete projects or tasks, especially anything, be it lessons, emotional cycles, spiritual unfoldment, awareness that began in 2008, and even 2005, considering the lunar returns taking place as well, in October.

You can soften the edges using the water energy, spiritual depths, UNFATHOMABLE AWAKENING, that you brought in this soul’s journey, into this life at this very time.,

Take time in NATURE, to breathe in the CYCLE THE ROOTS, THE DEPTHS OF YOUR BEING, WALK BAREFOOT.

MEDITATE, JOURNAL, WRITE, PLAY MUSIC, DANCE, DRAW.

WRITE DOWN QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU SLEEP.

ASK FOR GUIDANCE.

TWO GRAND TRINES

1. WATER: Neptune RX 27*PIsces

Mars 27* Cancer, Mercury 23*

Scorpio.

2. EARTH: Uranus RX 26* TAUrus.

Moon 28* Virgo, Pluto 29* Capricorn.

If you have your EARTH EL-ement,

Built up, the foundation/scaffolding

Strong and integrated, the waters coming in now can bring a flow and return of what you have been working on, sent out to RETURN AGAIN.

This can also EXPOSE some nefarious

Or HIDDEN agendas.

See the EARTH SUPPORT TOO?

Uranus retrograde at 26* TAUrus, supporting a 28* Moon in Virgo, and Pluto at 29* Capricorn. 
As Mars in Leo emphasizes Royalty and LEADERS, he is also OPPOSING Pluto in Capricorn, and they mean to FINISH THE JOB, as Mars will turn retrograde on December 5^th, this will stir things up even further, but we can also tap into this EARTH SUPPORT.  The universe is DIVINING THIS GUIDANCE.

We must live within the guidelines of the '7 POWERS OF DARKNESS' each INDIVIDUALLY, to give strength to the TRUTH PREVAILING.

It will be tense, but any of us that can hold a ‘flowing energy’ that does not hold onto old paradigms, but allows the FUTURE TO UNFOLD, as these ELECT, GUIDE US FROM THE WATERS ABOVE.

Of course, this sets in motion the NEW MOON on November 1^st at 8:46AM EDT.
When the sun and the Nightsky empress, will meet up at 09*35’ Scorpio.

The CRADLE WILL ROCK…ROCK A BYE BABY!

Neptune and Uranus are both supporting this wild energy, THE TITANS ARE WITH US!

The finger of God is also seen in these charts, so believe me, we have DIVINE GUIDANCE for these times.  It may not seem like it at times, but this will require a MIGHTY FAITH.

See Mars in Cancer (The US chart has a Cancer sun), this is HOME, MOTHER, FAMILY, HOMES, HOMELAND/COUNTRY.
Mars will move into LEADERSHIP LEO, and he will be back swimming in Cancer again.

CLEARING OUT THE CORRUPT LEADERSHIP by showing us the CORRUPT LEADERSHIP!!!

STAR OF DAVID!!!

Mercury will station retrograde in December.

I have a feeling; we will not have ELECTION results SETTLED (if they ever will feel that way) until next year.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your PRAYER ENGINES!

 DYSTOPIAN...

Oh, MUTABLE signs, PIsces (you have Saturn LORD OF THE RINGS, collaring you with Neptune RULING), and they are also finishing up their work in your house, the next two years will be INTENSE for you as you either willingly choose the UNFATHOMABLE DEPTHS WITHIN YOU, or are pushed like a roaring river into your TRUE SELF, (MEANING YOU ARE NOT COPYING ANYONE), see that reflection? That is, YOU!!! TURN ON YOUR TRUE LIGHT! The rest of the MUTABLES, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius, ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR CLOSEUP?

The truth is that ALL OF US ARE IN THE SHIFT OF OUR LIFETIMES.

DO YOU FEEL THE DEPTH OF CHANGE AND TRANSFORMATION WITHIN YOU? 

The OLD WORLD AND WAYS IS NO LONGER GOING TO BE THE SAME. IT IS NOT.

We are being moved into NEW DIMENSIONS OF CHANGE, A SEA CHANGE AND ALL OF US CAME HERE FOR THIS VERY SHIFT, TO TURN ON OUR SOUL LIGHTS, YOUR UNIQUE GIFT YOU BROGHT FOR JUST THIS TIME, OR THE DRAGON WILL BE SURE TO BURN OFF WHATEVER IS OCCLUDING YOUR BRILLIANCE.

For all those who have crossed over, I LOVE YOU, GRATEFUL THAT YOU GAVE ME THE GIFT OF SHARING YOUR LIGHT WITH ME.

HOW FORTUNATE I AM.

 9 Timeless Strategies from Sun-tzu’s ‘Art of War’

Sun-tzu’s Art of War is a highly influential text from the 5^th century B.C. Its lessons have been applied in both the East and West not only to war, but also to business, politics, law, sports, and even life. After all, as Plato reminds us in the Gorgias, life is the “great combat… greater than every other earthly conflict.”

Below are 9 of its most famous passages:

 

1. “All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.” 

2. “There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.”

3. “It is the rule in war, if our forces are ten to the enemy’s one, to surround him; if five to one, to attack him; if twice as numerous, to divide our army into two. If equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.”

4. “In war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.”

5. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

6. “In war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak.”

7. “All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.”

8. “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

9. “Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look upon them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.”

Eclipsing the Midnight Sun, New Moon in Taurus April 29, 2014

In the wee hours of the morning, at 1:17AM on Tuesday, April 29^th, the moon makes its 28 day visit to mate up with the sun.  Lady Luna and the sun will join together at 8* of Taurus.
In the wee hours of the morning, at 1:17AM on Tuesday, April 29

It will be a partial solar eclipse, which is another lever in the eclipse pattern during the Cardinal Cross. 

At 8 degrees of Taurus, we are talking about possessions, Taurus is “I Have” so this will be largely about what you have, your right to what you have, and this mating by the moon and sun is a sensual mating.  We are in the first decan of Taurus which is ruled by Venus/Aphrodite, who is now at 25* of PIcses.  This is a very determined and loyal aspect of Taurus.  She doesn’t give up easily (If at all) and will plod along patiently working towards gaining those ‘possessions’ she lusts after, or de-SIRES.

With an orb of 4* they are travelling with Mercury/Hermes who is now at 12* of Taurus. 

But let’s just take a look at what is happening with the eclipse, shall we?

Here, LaLuna will conjunct or mate with her paramour the sun, and she will stand between the earth and the sun, blocking out the energy of the male light that sustains the earth.

Emotions will either be turned down, repressed or explosive during this transit and into the coming 2 weeks.  Feeling weepy or depressed; or a lack of energy and motivation are all common under such a stressful sky.  Do we really have what it takes to set out after the goals which will bring us towards the desires of what we want?  What do we WANT and NEED?

As the Taurus Moon, so feminine in this earthy sign, stands in front of her mate, she will block his energy, and he will infuse her soulful power just after midnight in Eastern Daylight Time, calling upon our deep reserves and our feelings, drawing upon them like a snake charmer, she will pull up from the well of our soul the very essence of our being.

Now is the time to anoint yourself using ArcAncient’s exquisite essential oils and blends, especially ‘Light Spirits’ and ‘Ascension’, go to: www.arcancient.com.

You will also find a Sacred Anointing Ritual on that website under Directions For Use.

The light that is captured in the essences (all plants use a process of photosynthesis which is capturing the essence of the suns energy) will help to draw out your own light.  The ‘WHO’ you are integrally here as, to bring your own light into this world, and seeing the reflection of what you HAVE, as a mirror.

She is lusty and the sun will gladly give over to her his power, illuminating around  her dark body as she draws him inside, so too will we draw into our own being, that infusion of the lusty and desirous Taurus Moon and Sun.

What will we cast off?  An eclipse always portends an ending (YES, and in this eclipse pattern we are in, this will happen over and over under the very powerful strain of the URanus square to Pluto, but more importantly now, these are Blood Moons under the Grand Cardinal Cross).

So, I remind you of this story:

There is always the death, the small ones along the way and those that take us into the largess of the universe and into the great beyond.  When I died, back in 1976, I was very, very sick.  To say there was pain would be an understatement.  But, the interesting and miraculous thing along the way is the body’s ability to manage pain.  At some point, the pain gives way to the body flooding itself with its own sedatives, which wash away that pain and take you into levels of worlds as you float down the corridor of unconsciousness and into death’s open arms.

I bring this up, since this is what we are also dealing with, the small and large deaths and the release   of endorphins, ("endogenous morphine") which are endogenous opioid peptides that function as inhibitory neurotransmitters. The pituitary gland and the hypothalamus produce these endorphins to overcome pain. They are also released during exercise and excitement, when we eat certain foods, when we fall in love, and during sexual activity.

These peptides resemble opiates in their ability to produce analgesia and a feeling of well-being. You are taken into the delusion that nothing is wrong…because the pain is subsiding.  The food, the sex, the jog in the park; all can take you out of reality if for just one moment, and lessen the pain.

Consider, this first fall of Jesus under His cross. (Station number 3) His flesh is open and bleeding, His head crowned with thorns. As weak as he had become, He could barely walk, still He got up and kept walking and carrying the large and very heavy CROSS.  He was continuously whipped and struck by the soldiers who made His journey all the more painful and difficult, yet He keeps on walking, falling two more times.

So too, as we navigate these times, what once would have been a major shock to the system and to our reality, becomes savoir faire, we keep walking with the CROSS.

As we get over the initial shocks and absorb the reality, our world is changing in dramatic ways, but like the frog in the boiling water, we won’t notice it after the acute moments, as this just another fall with our CROSS, we get up (some sadly, will not get up each time, and will choose to exit the cycle, their own cross too much to bear) and move forward, towards what our DESIRES are drawing us towards.

It should become less strenuous and ominous, as our body floods us with the necessary relievers to help us through the time, save for the moments that will bring us into direct confrontation of the underlying triggers that want attention.

These triggers can motivate us into our better selves, an evolutionary being who ‘is with the father in heaven’ allowing the figurative deaths of our lower nature.  As the snake crawls on his belly (Pluto) his lower nature wants to rape Persephone, to have what he desires.

The snake consumes things whole, as the moon will try and swallow the sun, she is just not big enough to capture the entirety of light, the energy and source, the snake cannot swallow everything either, but the addiction remains, since he is never full.

Our own alimentary canal is our lower serpent, which must be fed to survive on planet earth.

All addictions are some perversion of this need to sate the being with emptiness, from what will never fill the hole, as it gets bigger and bigger with the false illusions (Neptune) of the promise that will never deliver.

Consumption was the name of a disease, which is now called Tuberculosis.

See here: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Consumption+(disease)

So, we will shed another skin, digest what we can (take into our awareness what we can) and leave the rest for another day.

The wide water trine between Saturn/EL/LORD of the rings retrograde at 20* Scorpio, Chiron/Wounded healer at 16*PIsces, (and Venus/Aphrodite leading in a very wide orb 25* PIsces) along with Jupiter/Zeus now charging full speed ahead at 14* of Cancer; all will be drawing us into submergence and addictive tendencies to handle this stressful time.

We can assuage our troubled minds and hearts through day-dreaming, music, dancing, and some will choose the stronger variety of alcohol, drugs or choose the higher path of meditation, perhaps even mindful exercise.

Nonetheless, Saturn loves the support of Jupiter/Zeus in Cancer, so we might feel that support come from someone in the home circle, or who feels like family to us.

There will be an expansion now in home circles and events, with Zeus lording in the realms of the home, and Cancer is another hoarder of sorts, they like to hold onto things and having their homes adorned with their prized possessions, much like the Taurean, is where they draw comfort.

Be aware that everything is not as it seems, something are as hidden as the sun, with only the edges bending around the emotions that desire, the occlusion won’t be fully known until the moon tries to warn us again, as she waxes into fullness.

The control mechanism trying to keep our emotions in check, will rumble under the surface like the volcano it really is, building up energy and rattling the cages of our beings, making us feel nervous and filled with trepidation. 
This is the first fall, get up when you have rested and listened, hearing the deeper truth that is your own clarion call.

But this is not over, we will fall again, the cross is heavy and we have much to do. 

Sadness may overwhelm some like the dark moon eclipsing the midnight sun, if you have the wings or the light, be kind, and don’t judge those who may fall just as the saviour does, or are you judging Him too?  There but for the Grace of God, go I.

On June 16^th, Mars passes the threshold of the Grand Cross again, squaring Uranus again on the 25^th at 16* having already squared Pluto on the 14^th at 12* because Pluto is in retrograde Capricorn.

Hermes Looks Back and Waves Goodbye

Our friend, Hermes as he is known in Greek Mythology and Mercury to the Romans, is often blamed for many things, especially when he goes retrograde; which happens three to four times each year.

What actually is taking place is the slowing down of the planet Mercury’s orbit of the sun, which eventually stops its motion in relation to the earth.
This creates an illusion of moving backwards, similar to what happens when you are sitting in your car at a light, and the car next to you moves forward, giving you the sense that you are moving.  The earth would be the moving car and Mercury is the car that is now stopped at the light (sun).

Another analogy I like to use is what happens when you are moving forward in a boat and you stick an oar in the water; the movement of the water as it swishes around the oar which is now moving with the boat and creating its own vortex is what happens energetically with the Mercury Retrograde.  I like to use the analogy of water for many things, but especially to help people visualize and understand the movement and force of energy that is not always so visible to the naked eye.  If we understand the universe as a living Sea of Life, the movement of the planets and the energy they impart into that sea, may be better understood.

Returning to the oar analogy; think about that movement in the water, swishing and circling ‘around’ the oar.  We see the returning of energy.  This is what happens with Mercury.  All the energy and information/lessons attached to by degree, sign, house and aspect are refocused in our lens and we are given another view/experience to literally, ‘review’ and perhaps make different choices, or become culpable for our previous actions and this includes karmic lessons back as a blast from the past.

If we take that a few layers back and ‘review’ what Mercury or Hermes actually rules over, we find these:  Communications, travel, pens, writing, siblings, language, crossroads, cue: “Went Down to the Crossroads” here is a link to Cream with lead Eric Clapton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-6OWBciRas but the story made most famous is one by Robert Johnson and his trek to the ‘Crossroads’ where he met the devil and ‘traded’ his soul to become a blues guitarist legend.

Commerce is also something that Mercury rules over, trade that all through history creates the infrastructure and roads necessary to transport goods from their point of origin to place of sale or market.  Although ‘Pluto/Hades’ rules over treasures, it is Mercury who is given free passage to and from the underworld of Hades, and of course, Hades loves music and Hermes invented the lyre using the shell of a tortoise. 

He was given a caduceus or staff from his father Zeus, which in some stories originally were two white ribbons that entwined the herald’s staff and later changed into two serpents.

Zeus also awarded Hermes, a cap with two small wings and a pair of winged sandals when he appointed him as the Divine Herald.  This gave Hermes the ability to travel over both land and sea.  Zeus also ordered everyone give their utmost respect to Hermes.

Hermes also rules: astronomy, astrology, cleverness, cunning wiles and wit, hospitality, heralds, diplomacy, thievery, persuasion, athletic contests (Olympics), gymnasiums and is given credit as the originator of the sacrifice to the God’s. He is the personal messenger and herald to his father Zeus, the king of the gods.

It is said that he punishes anyone who does not help those asking for directions.

Other Major attributes:
•              hodios patron of travelers and wayfarer

•              oneiropompus, conductor of dreams.

•              poimandres, shepherd of men

•              psychopompos, conveyor or conductor of souls and psychogogue, conductor or leader of souls in (or through) the underworld

•              the factor of travelling or motion with or without others with respect to the physical landscape, or the landscape of the soul , is the core attribute of the god as messenger and guide

 

OK, now that we have a bit of a backdrop upon which to draw, let’s go ‘back’ to Mercury Retrograde.

Mercury stations retrograde on June 26^th at 23* of Cancer until he goes direct again on July 20^th at 13*.

This is the second of three retrogrades this year and they are all in water signs, the next one being from  October 21 to November 10 in Scorpio.

He will almost manage to form an exact square to Uranus in Aries and opposition to Pluto in Capricorn.

 

We can expect the usual, computer malfunctioning, dropping pens, paper and pencils, electricity whirligigs, car trouble and miscommunications and misunderstandings.

I could tell you to try and be very clear before signing any agreements, if one were to be so bold at this time, but during a water retrograde, it is just asking for trouble to even try.

Now, if it is something with an ‘RE’ before the task, then by all means go ahead!  Re-pairing, Re-wiring, Re-painting, Re-negotiating, etc.

 

This is also when we get those blasts from the past, like seeing people we haven’t in years or meeting up with people we just seem to already know, they are usually someone from a past life.

In this water retrograde, expect and even look for people from the past to visit your dreams, and perhaps tell you something they didn’t or couldn’t get the chance to tell you in person; they may have already passed over too.  The message could be one you have been asking for answers to, so PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR DREAMS!

Now, think of how an object appears different when you look at it through water, the light refracts and skews the dimensions and the location of the object in the water.  This is a good analogy to comprehend what happens in communications.  Things are just not what they seem.  The message may become garbled or muffled, either way we are just not hearing what we thought we heard, so best not to come to any conclusions.  Yes, this also pertains to those messages in the dream state, but I would write them down to come back to later, they will have something that will help us put the pieces of the puzzle together and usually these will be more of the returning variety, the view we didn’t or couldn’t see before and that is what we are looking to benefit from during the Mercury retrograde period.

Secrets will have a much shorter life or half-life during this retrograde, since we already have had that long Saturn retrograde in Scorpio while in mutual reception to Pluto/Hades in Capricorn, all that was shuffled under the table will find its way to the surface like a leak that you just can’t fix.

Water will seek its own level and bring up from the depths of that Neptunian/Poseidon Sea (who is also retrograde) the deeper spiritual truths, the kind that were nipping around the periphery of your consciousness and almost within grasp and then popped like a bubble before we could integrate them.  The closer Mercury gets to that Uranus square, the closer those insights (ruled by Uranus) will come into our awareness.

Squares can be challenging of course, but they are also what we use to build upon, so after it all comes out in the wash, expect to become much clearer about what and where we want to build our dreams.

 

Since the retrograde is in Cancer (The moon/home/family) Cancers can expect to be affected the most, followed by all the Cardinal signs: Libra, Capricorn, and Aries as well as where those signs are by house in your own chart, including planets that are aspected too.

With Jupiter having just entered the sign of Cancer too, we can expect a lot of expansion in the water sign and all things Cancer, so it is a good time for family and nurturing ourselves with mother energy.
There could be some slowing of construction and housing during this retrograde period, or the flow of money into the housing market could feel strained, as if the river of loans is drying up.

This is a good time to clean and wash away the past, repair old friendships if our review brings the light of a new perspective or understanding but it may also mean the letting go of those friendships and relationships that are just too hard to hold onto, with all that water pulling those people who have served their purpose away and onto a different river in life.  I don’t say that lightly, since I don’t let go of people very easily myself, I take people very deeply into my heart, and it takes an awful lot of hurtful behavior for me not to overlook the transgressions, so even writing that does not come so easy.

 

Now, since Mercury is in Cancer, expect emotional confusion most of all, but also emotional healing.

I know that may sound contradictory, but that is how this works, the energy gives and takes away.

(I am also writing this during a Mercury Retrograde, so that means I will come back and rewrite this in the future AND it may not be as clear as I would like it to be, she said as she laughed to herself).

 

Let’s go back to the statue of Mercury looking back:  This is what we do best during this time, he wants us to RE-member who we are, the road we have travelled, our hurts and our accomplishments after we successfully negotiated the difficult times, the people we have met along the way and how we treated them, the kindness and the love that we have been blessed with and especially, our ability to laugh, to take things less seriously and find a witty sense of humor about it all.

But we made it through those times, just barely though it may seem, but we made it through.

So, it is compassion we can find now, and soothe our beings with the balm of that love, letting go of the need to do more and to worry about the future.

Kindness goes a long way.  Here is where I find POWER in our amazing ability to look back, to remember the times we have had with loved ones we may not be able to see in the physical world anymore, to glean a lesson from the lens of history and turn that into a better fuel and heraldry to turn around and implore the God’s when Mercury goes direct.

It is not the time to march forward; it is the time to bask in the afterglow of the road less travelled.

Happy Trails.

The secret is...I told you I would be adding more to this post ( I always do, so it is best to come back and reread the post's to get all the secret pearls I will cast out along the way).

Unless that is, you are ready to go deeper into the meaning?  Would you like to go down to the ‘Crossroads’and meet our friend Hermes?  Then knock and the door shall be opened unto you.

The heart is the doorway, the bridal chamber with (4) chambers into the divine abode of Venus or Aphrodite, where one learns true beauty that rises up from the Sea.  The Way of the Heart is THE WAY to the TRUTH and the LIGHT that comes from the singular eye.  To divine, is to use discernment and trample the Lion (Ego) and the Serpent (consumerism/consumption/lower earthly drives/lust/greed that keep one crawling on the belly for more things that will only turn to dust) and to enter the Bridal Chamber where the male becomes female and the female becomes male.  Balance and Harmony reign in the forces of the Divine Charioteer. 
This opens into the Thymus.  (The mystical colours of the Thymus are purple and deep teal).
Heart Thymus...HearThyMus...Hear…Thy...MUSE...Hearthearthearth…earthearthearth..earth.
Hearth Y Mus...Gather around ye hEARTH and entertain your muses...your teachers stand at the gate of the crossroads...where Hermes stands as the messenger to help you across the river. (Hermes is the ruler over the throat, arms, hands chakra).  He is Mercury in Roman symbolism.
