July 2013 Grand Sextile July 20, 2013

July 2013 ~~~ Grand Sextile

“Welcome to the desert of the real.” Morpheus

Very soon the GRAND SEXTILE will be formed in our solar system. The picture shows the two grand trines oppose each other forming the hexagon. This solar geometry is significant in the realm of collective consciousness. The date of this alignment is July 29th, 2013.

The planets involved are listed here

Moon in Taurus
Venus in Virgo
Mars – Jupiter in Cancer
Saturn in Scorpio
Neptune in Pisces
Pluto in Capricorn

Grand Trine Number 1 – Mars-Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune

Grand Trine Number 2 – the Moon, Venus, Pluto

“Within this pattern, the Great Mother is at work, the divine feminine calling for a mass shift of consciousness. Venus however is opposite Neptune. This dreamy aspect can fuel us with happy daydreams but the danger here is that the divine feminine can remain separate and indistinct from the real living women that walk the Earth. Venus of course is in virginal Virgo and this aspect could leave us wondering how the divine feminine within all of us, both male and female, can ever truly be manifest. There’s something here about drawing down the Moon, about making this feminine presence a real and living force. There’s still too much separation – too much virgin/whore syndrome. Too much trying to live up to impossible ideals fuelled by unrealistic ideas of perfection. Too many lies we tell ourselves in order to ‘fit in’. We know it. We experience it every day. But grand trines don’t force us to act…”

A sextile is related to bodies opposing each other at 60 degrees. It is the formation of 6 resembling the hexagon. The number 6 is the most harmonious of the numbers as it has the divine trinity above and the divine trinity below, two triangles opposing each other pointing to the stars and to earth. Pointing from base chakra to base chakra. When unified forms the sacred soul the point within the circle.

The video below shows the chakras with the Dot as the individual soul, the symbols sacred and time tested, each telling a story…..OM depicts the DOT in the Solar Boat crossing dimension. So you see 6 is the traveller.

In symbols and in music we have the magical dance of 6. The sextet having 6 instruments forming the whole, a symphony of beauty.

Nature shows us the hexagram in many forms, a few being the snowflakes and in the honeycomb…

“Honeycombs created by bees are illustrative of the work that goes in to look after the Queen and traditionally associated with hard work – ‘busy as a bee’ degrees in a natural chart from 0 Aries takes you to the cusp of Gemini. This work needs to involve the mind of the collective. Forget the Borg, we need to connect.”

“You’re either doing or you are not doing. You’re either taking part or you’re retreating. Venus in Virgo is saying we need to put love into practice on a day to day level. It’s the small things that count. Simple kindness counts. Sweetness, like honey is healing. Used productively, the opposition to Neptune can show that those very basic acts of love can have a profound effect on all. Not only do we need to think of ourselves as King or Queen bees, we need to think of each other that way too. At the same time, we are all workers in the hive.”

“In her book ‘The Women’s Dictionary of Symbols’, Barbara Walker suggests that the hexagram is a representation of the sexual union between Kali and Shiva. There’s a sweet spot with this configuration, a honey pot pulling us in and it can be tantalising and dreamy or it can be pure tantric channelling of the highest cosmic order. As above, so below, God within, God without. Can we get it together?”

The only mystical event which will happen from now until July 29th rests in your creative imagination sent into action. It is not what you are, it is what you do, each day your belief, your faith, your creations lift us up. I believe in you.

With compassion
