Wheels Within Wheels
“And I looked, and, behold, a
whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing
itself, and a brightness was all around it, and radiating out of its mist like
the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
Also out
of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this
was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. 7 Their legs
were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet.
They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. 8 The hands of a man were
under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and
wings. 9 Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they
went, but each one went straight forward.
10 As for the likeness of their
faces, each had the face of a man; each
of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the
face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
11 Thus were their faces.
(This is the fixed cross in astrology: the angel of man
which is Aquarius, Lion/Leo, Ox/Taurus, Eagle/Scorpio, respectively) Insert.
Their wings stretched upward; two
wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And
each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and
they did not turn when they went.
13 As for
the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals
of fire, like the appearance of torches
going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and
out of the fire went lightning. 14 And the living creatures ran back and forth,
in appearance like a flash of lightning.
15 Now as I
looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each
living creature with its four faces. 16 The
appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl,
and all four had the same likeness. The
appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
17 When they moved, they went toward any
one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. 18 As for
their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. 19
When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the
living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 20 Wherever
the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the
wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living
creatures[c] was in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; when
those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth,
the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living
creatures[d] was in the wheels.
22 The
likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures[e] was like
the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads. 23 And under
the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another. Each one had
two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side
of the body. 24 When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise
of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an
army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings. 25 A voice came
from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they
let down their wings.” ~excerpt from Exekiel’s vision
Now,
back to where I wanted to take you: Ezekiel's famous vision of the Divine
Throne above the Four Living Creatures with their "wheels
within wheels" is astrologically symbolical, it is a treatise on the
harnessing of the spirit of the four directions, the elements considered as ‘whirlwind/air/Aquarius,
lighting/fire as Leo, noise of many waters from wings/Eagle Scorpio firmament
above the heads of the living creatures[e] was like the color of an awesome
crystal/earth which is Taurus. EL-ement
as I have stated before is the combination of EL or the God of the Judaeo
Christian bible and the root of: El-ohim, El-ite, El-ect, and as suffix to
Micha-El, Gabri-El, Rapha-El, Ari-El, Ang-El, etc. Here in the word El-ement, we have God-mind,
or The mind. The mind of God, or the
God-head that contains all thought and all elements/directions, etc.
In the
dreaming from the formless, comes wheels within wheels and the four directions.
In the
heart of the four directions, is the compass point, or compass-ION; which is
the heart of it all, and THE WAY.
We can
also consider ‘the noise of many waters’ as the sea of people generated and
birthed in waters, as water represents the doorway between
dimensions/daemons-IONS.
We can think of a ships berth, or the amniotic
sac that breaks and birth's the new baby into this world.
"like the voice of the Almighty" ~Everything
is in THE WORD. FIRST, THERE WAS THE
WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD.
When
we add to this, EL (from Element) is Saturn, Lord of the rings, the last of the visible
planets, and as Cronus (Gaia’s son with Uranus) (Kronos in Greek), the youngest of the Titans, He
agreed to help Gaia who was grieved that Uranus wanted to keep her children
caged up deep inside her belly/bowels and she gave Cronus a sickle;Cronus
ambushed Uranus and cut off his genitals with Gaia's sickle.
He refers to
them as inseparable "wheel in the middle of a wheel" providing the continuity
and connectedness of all things created out of the formless, they were
intertwined as one for "their wings were joined one to another" (Ezek
1:9).
So let
us continue with this vision of Ezekiel’s, because we will see how he also refers
to these four guardians as the Cherubim...
Ezekiel 10
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Glory Departs from the Temple
10 And I
looked, and there in the firmament that
was above the head of the cherubim, there appeared something like a
sapphire stone, having the appearance of the likeness of a throne. 2 Then He spoke to the man clothed with linen, and said,
“Go in among the wheels, under the cherub, fill your hands with coals of fire
from among the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” And he went in
as I watched.
3 Now the cherubim were
standing on the south side of the temple[a] when the man went in, and the cloud filled
the inner court. 4 Then the glory of
the Lord went up from the cherub, and paused over the threshold of
the temple; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of
the brightness of the Lord’s glory. 5 And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard
even
in the outer court, like the voice of Almighty God when He speaks.
6 Then it happened, when
He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from among the wheels, from among the cherubim,” that he
went in and stood beside the wheels.
7 And the cherub stretched out his
hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim,
and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took
it and went out. 8 The cherubim
appeared to have the
form of a man’s
hand under their wings.
9 And when I looked, there were four wheels by the cherubim,
one wheel by one cherub and another wheel by each other cherub; the wheels
appeared to have the color of a beryl stone. 10 As for their appearance, all four looked alike—as it were, a wheel in the middle of a
wheel. 11 When they went, they went
toward
any of their four
directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but followed in the
direction the head was facing. They did not turn aside when they went.
12 And their whole body, with their back, their hands,
their wings, and the wheels that the four had,
were full of eyes all
around.
13 As for the wheels, they
were called in my hearing, “Wheel.”
14 Each one had four
faces: the first face was the
face of a cherub, the second face the face of a man, the third the face of a
lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. 15 And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the
living creature I saw by the River Chebar. 16
When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the
cherubim lifted their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also
did not turn from beside them.
17 When
the cherubim[b] stood still,
the wheels stood still,
and when
one[c] was lifted up,
the other[d] lifted itself up, for the spirit of the
living creature
was in them.
18 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the
cherubim. 19 And the cherubim lifted
their wings and mounted up from the earth in my sight. When they went out, the
wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of
the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
"This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD" (Ezek 1:28)
“And in His image He made them, male and female” ~ Genesis
20 This is the
living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I
knew they were cherubim.
21 Each one had four faces and each
one four wings, and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their
wings. 22 And the likeness of their
faces
was the same
as the faces which I had seen by the River
Chebar, their appearance and their persons. They each went straight forward.
Now, this image of God on the Throne above the Cherubim first
appears in Exodus 25:18-40
Exodus 25:18-40
New King James Version (NKJV)
18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you
shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at
the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one
piece with the mercy seat. 20 And
the cherubim shall stretch out
their wings above, covering the mercy
seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the
cherubim
shall be toward the mercy seat.
21 You shall
put
the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the
Testimony that I will give you.
22 And there I will meet with you, and I
will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim
which
are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will
give you in commandment to the children of Israel.
Now one might ask themselves, why
are there only 4 Gospels?
Or, you might wonder why I would
bring this entire story up?
Well, it is because it is one of
the best ways to explain what is happening.
Where else do we find the Cherubim?
How about in Genesis 3:23
23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground
from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way,
to guard the way to the tree of life.
Right there: “… and a flaming sword which turned every way, to
guard the way to the tree of life.”
Ask yourselves, do you feel as
though you are trying to walk through fire?
Because this time is one of the
cross-quarters, or the entry into the Age of Aquarius, who we see is one of the
four guardians of the gates. Fire
purifies, burns off the dross.
Dec 13, 2012 New Moon at 3:43AM
We
are at the marriage of the sun and the moon again, conjunctiva at 21*of f,
this puts us in the last decanate of Sagittarius which is Leo. Here we have the Sun and the Moon in their
alchemical marriage and Leo rules the sun, so this should be an optimistic portal
to tap into, though one might want to avoid risk taking, which this decanate
can also stimulate. This can be an
adventurous time and of course, we are heading into the much discussed Mayan
calendrical date of Dec 21, 2012 (The Winter Solstice) which is why I began and
will return to the meaning of this ‘gateway’.
First, let’s continue with the mundane affairs of this new moon:
With the coloured lights and
festivity displays lighting our longer days of darkness, we see the spark of
the soul glimmering and whispering to us, to listen to the still voice and see
the connection to the vast sea of which we are swimming. Starry nights light up the canopy above us,
calling to us to wonder, to journey into the ethers as we anchor and call down
the sky.
“Mary: What'd you wish,
George?
George:
Well, not just one wish. A whole hatful, Mary. I know what I'm gonna do
tomorrow, and the next day, and the next year, and the year after that. I'm
shakin' the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I'm gonna see the
world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then, I'm comin' back here
and go to college and see what they know... And then I'm gonna build things.
I'm gonna build airfields, I'm gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high,
I'm gonna build bridges a mile long...
George: What
is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You
want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it
down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary.
Mary: I'll
take it. Then what?
George:
Well, then you could swallow it, and it'd all dissolve, see? And the moonbeams'd shoot out of your
fingers and your toes, and the ends of your hair... Am I talking too much?” ~George Bailey talking to his
future wife Mary, “It’s a Wonderful Life”
That is a perfect example of this
Sagittarius new moon.
Dreaming big, lassoing the moon
and am I talking too much?
This is all taking place in the 2nd
house ruled by Taurus
the bull, (another gateway) possessions,
worth, making a living in the mundane world.
So, how will you grow your worth?
What is it you want to expand?
Who do you need to talk to that you perhaps have not really sat down and
had a joyous conversation in a long time?
Isn’t this just perfect for the
holyday season? Don’t you just love our
glorious creator’s brilliance?
I do.
With
Venus at 26* of Scorpio eand Mercury at 03* Sagittarius f
we have a wide conjunction with this
pair too and we see the bridging of Scorpio into Sagittarius as a theme coming
up again, so we will see further activation of Scorpio’s truth telling and
secrets being revealed to open the mystery.
Oh
how nice as we ramp up to our Solstice date!
And Mercury in Sagittarius adds to the loquaciousness of the Sun/Moon
marriage so let the merry making begin!
Kids will rock the planet now and take center stage as will animals;
particularly horses, will come front and center. We shall see and hear discussions on saving
animals and more ideas about education and investing in schools and teachers
(which means, caring about children).
Now,
the sun and the moon, they are off by themselves and not aspecting any of the
other heavenly spheres, so the major lights will allow the others to have their
own fun.
We
have Mercury at 3* in trining Uranus which is stationing direct today at 4*of
Aries
so they are in support of each other. While Uranus has been wreaking havoc
retrograde and bringing up the static electrical charges infusing them into the
atmosphere, we trip over wires, drop things seemingly without a cause or just
plain out of clumsiness, as he is electricity and in Aries the Ram or RA, the
head of the chart, Uranus wants electrical action, as quick as lightening. Can you keep up with him?
He
(UR-Anus) is still in the square to Pluto, though that has gone wide, Ur will
catch up soon enough to form that square again.
So prepare yourselves… The best we can do, is to tap into what is new,
the insights flashing onto the canvass in our dreams, exploding in colour and
emotion as Neptune who is home in his world of the deep sea of Pisces i at 0* is shimmering
on the waters of your mind with the square to Mercury shooting arrows in the
Archer, Sagittarius f, there can be nothing but
straight shooting, or the quagmire will only become the glass you look through
darkly, because Mercury is also opposing Jupiter in Gemini, which Mercury
rules. How dare this small god oppose him
and in Hermes house! The square is wide
though, so just enough room to scoot by and make a way, read that writing on
the wall while Neptune is flashing lights on the celluloid slumber of your
subconscious. Write down your dreams, to bridge the two hemispheres and marry the pairs of opposites.
Though this
could make it harder to explain your dreams, even to yourself. One must let the mind go like lightening,
fast and free until you tame that horse/Neptune the Sea Mare, and harness her
insights in the quicksilver Mercury of your mind.
But
dream we must. We also have Ur-Anus in 4*of
Aries
sextiling Jupiter at9* of Gemini `and
Jupiter is still Retrograde, so that big expansive energy is taking us back,
look over your good fortune, how have you been rescued and saved over the
years?
What
pickle did you get yourself into, which the universe sent in angels to redeem
you from? Still, this is the supportive
energy of a sextile, so Jupiter or Thor wants to expand the realm of
possibility into the electric universe and catapult us into the way it can be,
with all the potential of the seed of the soul; that beam of light that sparked
us aglow and into this world. Tap in,
turn into the silence and listen. Listen
and you will hear your heart-song, singing away in wild abandon, joyously
dancing on the edge of time, this crossroad that we are finding our way across and
into the Great Divide, the Milky Way….Great Mother, Nut.
It’s
just that, with Neptune in Pisces i at 0*, she is also squaring Venus, her child
of sorts, Neptune is an octave of Venus.
This square is not comfortable, and wants to force the heart into
thinking it just cannot dare to dream, there is no sense in believing things
will get better. Recall Jupiter, reminding you of all those times you were rescued. Of every step you have taken, when the earth
has risen up to meet you, to support you.
No
wonder the gods fought over gaia, she is radiantly gorgeous!
So walk upon
her, feel her energy, connect to her.
“22)
The Savior said, All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with
one another, and they will be resolved again into their own roots”
And
this: “27) That is why the Good came into your midst, to the essence of every
nature in order to restore it to its root.” “31) That is why I said to you, Be
of good courage, and if you are discouraged be encouraged in the presence of
the different forms of nature.” ~The
Gospel of Mary Magdalene
Here I cannot recommend enough, to
have ArcAncient Sleep Angel ™ on hand, to dab on the wrist and take deep
breaths. She will connect you, she will
rise up and meet you underfoot and help to stop the spinning world around you,
long enough for you to realize, it is all a temporary tumult that wants to
steal you away from the jewel that is rising and shining within you.
As
we enter this gateway, of which there are 4 in the cross corners, guarded by
the Cherubim… (Oh that’s why I brought all that up!) The electromagnetic field is shifting, both
within and without. We can feel it in
our core, if we are paying attention at all.
We can see it on the world stage, with the super-storms, super politicking, the crazy financial train driving out of control; now we also can see that there is huge energy going back and forth, as the poles shift, in this precessional moment in time, as this wobble increases and we see people going to extremes, weather in extremes and so being centered, as best we can in all of this, will be most important. There is much evidence to support that this is speeding up, that the poles and magnetic north has shifted so much, even Airport runways have had to be remarked in Florida.
In the 26,000 year time frame of the Great year, we have 13,000 and 6.500 years as the quarters (squares and oppositions) that are also the same 4 guardians of Ezekiel's vision.
The last time, we had the great deluge/flood. That was the age of Taurus the Bull, and we have the worshipping of the bull that Moses asks the people to stop worshipping as they entered the age of Aries. Previous to that, was the age of Leo, and the lioness on the sphynx.
Precessional
movement
The path of the
north celestial pole among the stars due to the precession. Vega is the bright
star near the bottom
Axial precession is the movement
of the rotational axis of an astronomical body, whereby the axis slowly traces
out a cone. In the case of Earth, this type of precession is also known as the precession
of the equinoxes, lunisolar precession, or precession of the
equator. Earth goes through one such complete precessional cycle in a
period of approximately 26,000 years or 1° every 72 years, during which the
positions of stars will slowly change in both equatorial coordinates and ecliptic longitude. Over this cycle, Earth's
north axial pole moves from where it is now, within 1° of Polaris, in a
circle around the ecliptic pole, with an angular radius of about 23.5
degrees. ~From Wikipedia
Now, that is lining up with the
Galactic Center (27*Sagittarius, see chart)
And that pull, and all of this
astrological alignments and aspects we have been through, dredging up our
lifetimes, burning off the dross to reveal that shining diamond within us.
To mirror the heavens and the
Coming.
Now, for me and as you will see
in my upcoming book, this is also mirrored within us, as the marriage, the
alchemy of the male and female, shiva and shakti, Mary and Jesus (saviour)
within us, but this can only happen through the heart.
So heal we must, realize we must,
and rest we must when we can, and don’t…..don’t spend your spirits dry
bemoaning what never was and never will be.
Oh by the way, out of the spilled
blood/semen of Uranus we have the birth of Venus/Aphrodite.
Uranus' severed genitals fell into the sea and stayed there for a
while until white foam started to form around them. Into the sea as it is told
in some stories (Neptune) Out of this foam emerged the most beautiful woman in
Greek myth: Aphrodite. Here we see the sea shell opened and the rising
Aphrodite, the birth of Venus as is so often been painted in classical
art.
Here is Sandro Botticelli’s
version:
That beauty is within us, we have
to dive deep and find the pearls shining in the dark and dank places we might
have tried to avoid inside us, but there she is, waiting to be rescued. Waiting for us, singing so listen to your heart
song, and then sing into the symphony of the universe, as we stands at the
gates of Aquarius, Cherubim flashing their flaming swords, lest we try to enter
un-tempered, lacking enough integrity to withstand the flames, the fiery Holy
Spirit that will descend as a dove.
It is still a birth though, we are birthing a new earth, a new form of us, and it will be dimensional. Birth comes with birth pains, both for us and for the new earth, as we see the destruction of the old, in large part do to Pluto (death and destruction, but also new birth) in his square to Uranus (ruler of Aquarius, the water bearer and this new age) as they transform what will not last into this new age.
We shall see more earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, both in the earth and in our own earthly being as our bodies try and hold this powerful energy, and all that was kept buried within us finds an avenue outside of us, for it cannot be kept hidden anymore.
This is also the land of Khem, Khemet or Egypt, the black land or land of the darkness (in part called this because of its rich dark soil from the fertile Nile crescent.) This is also why things are called 'occulted' or from the darkness and hidden. All mysteries are this way, not ready to be revealed (why Jesus spoke in parables) until the student was ready for the powerful information of truth. "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and
evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life,
and eat, and live for ever." ~Gen 3:22
As the sun and the earth are engulfed within the head of the serpent (the Milky Way) on the Solstice point, it will appear as though the serpent is eating its egg, the sun and earth. After this point, the 'new sun' is born into the Age of Aquarius, the Water Bearer.
"And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a
man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he
entereth in."~Luke 22:10
We must go past the flaming Cherubim, and get birthed into the new earth/sun.
Open the third eye, to have thine eye singular, and seek to find as we must, now more than ever.
Wheels within wheels, want to
lasso the moon and bring her down to earth?
Recall this from the vision: "When they went, they went toward any
of their four directions; they did not turn aside when they went, but
followed in the direction the head was facing" ~
One question you mut ask yourselves, which direction is your head facing? Which way have you set your sails towards, this is the course you have set for yourself without turning your head aside, focus and move in that direction.
Ready to give birth to your saviour?
Light your candles and make your wishes, what did you come here to do? Note the activation of your own personal chart, your wheels within wheels and how do you bear the 3 crosses of your chart? Be well......
You might find these links
interesting:
Here we go through the 12/21/12 gateway at the Winter Solstice.....
The moon only barely forms a trine to URanus, so aside from
her opposition to the Sun in the dual land of Gemini the twins, and a sextile
to the head of the dragon, she is only on speaking terms to father sun right
now. She will be a beautiful golden
umber colour as she flirts across the sky’s with her paramour. She wants the truth, but with the sun
deciding in the moment which of the twins he will be, what is and what shall
never be may be as elusive as a hall of mirrors.
The
tension is all out there though, and energy (Mars hanging out in Libra at 12*
pushing into that 13* space and forming that old T-square to URanus and
Pluto/Hades again) might be a bit hard to come by, though confusion, cross
communications, and mix-ups are bountiful right now. 
For some real fun though, we look at Saturn/EL/Lord of the
Rings holding steady in exact opposition to Venus/Aphrodite right now. So, pattern and structure, the old man and
the sea (the sea of the Scorpion Kings) is standing belligerently across the
starry seas to what we love, and she is in the earthy and lusty sign of Taurus,
so gals, you may want that little extra bobble that you have attached to the
thought of love, but come back to earth…not likely to happen.
The other obvious thing that jumps out; is the will she or
won’t she scenario. (YOU can insert he
if you like, makes no difference) Do I
want to stay or go and if I am staying, than I want to COMMIT! What will that mean? If you are in a relationship, I strongly
suggest you make a re-commitment ceremony and invest your energies into making
things work. Otherwise, ole Mercury is
likely to play some ticks on you both and get you spinning and guessing and
perhaps not the best suspicions might be entertained. They may be true, but are you really ready to
take that chance and regret your hasty decisions and thoughts later?
Now, even though this Mercury retrograde began in Cancer, he
will soon be returning to his rulership in Gemini on June 16th, and
with the recent new moon in Gemini, now full in Sagittarius, Gemini’s will
really fell this but so will the effects be doubly strong. So, cross your T’s and dot your I’s, and
listen, repeat, rinse, I mean…listen. As
Mercury loops into the eye of Cancer and makes his way back, old friends,
lovers and a bit of trouble may find its way back to you…so will karmic
experiences and Déjà Vu’s…old lovers?
Watch for them, you are bound to see them at obvious and some of the
oddest places.
Soon to come, my post on Helichrysum. For now, make sure you have plenty of ArcAncient Sleep Angel to be sure to get enough sleep and tap into those powerful dreams that are forecasting from the great beyond.
