A new week begins.
Leo – I AM – the heart of the matter which is Gratitude.
Gratitude is alchemical (read more below).
We begin the week with Leo Sun – the I AM sign.
We are sensitive to the fires of Leo.
Three fires, three layers of the Sun.
Central Spiritual Sun, Heart of the Sun, Rays of the Sun.

We stand in the Burning Grounds in Leo.
Working on our Will, our Soul, our personality.
We are called to identify as I AM.
Not less than, not not enough, not better than, not anything.
But the fact of I AM.
I AM THAT & THAT AM I.
Perfect in all my ways. We learn this.
I am is more than nothing & less than one.
Ohm.

Monday July 24, 2023.
Libra (3) moon today. Leo (1 & 5) Sun.
The heart of Leo is Jupiter, Ray 2
We are moving into a time of retrogrades.
Venus, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto & Chiron are now retrograde.
Mercury will also begin retrograding August 23rd for three weeks.
Mercury & Venus will be retrograde simultaneously.
In September Jupiter begins to retrograde too.
Jupiter retrogrades till the beginning of the new year.
Mercury’s last retrograde of the year is during Christmas too.
It may be a different Christmas for everything this year.
By October we have six planets (one asteroid) retrograde.

Retrogrades are magical times.
Unexpected things occur. The past shows up for one last appearance. It’s a time of assessment & review.

Gratitude breaks the cycle of the thoughts of not having & of not being enough, that we don’t deserve.
We don’t see the perfection that we are.
Every day at work….what greets us in nature?
What animals are around us? What people, what trees & plants?
What needs water? Are there ducks, birds, waters flowing?
Watching the river eels flows thru the water as we focus on what is needed for the day.
Being the gratitude. Being around those in gratitude.
Creating this focus on gratitude each moment.
All we have is the moment.
Filled with Gratitude.
Working w/ salt of the earth people. No glamours or mayas or illusions.
Working within the elements & the kingdoms.
Creating wherever we are, the environment as an Ashram.
Gratitude is magical. Its outcome is alchemy.
Gratitude is scientific.

We are powerful beings….
But more so, the reality is this.
We are always given what we need –
And the tools we need.
We are all learning how to create.
Bringing forth our creative gifts (Leo).
With our cooperation with the devas, we manifest God’s Kingdom on Earth.
For all this (& more)….we are Grateful. Risa
