Sun in Scorpio today trine Chiron –
Mercury enters Sagittarius – sign of Silence
The day is v/c until this evening – when the moon enters Taurus.
We prepare for Monday’s full moon, Scorpio solar festival.
22.48 degrees – early in the morning Monday.
At full moon times – the focus is upon the Sun and the sign the Sun is in – this month – Scorpio – The moon’s energy is veiled. It’s purpose is to receive the Light of Scorpio. Together, the Sun & Moon then direct the Scorpio Light to the Earth.
We prepare today – with Confidence & Aspiration.
Confidence holds our mind in Right Thinking.
Aspiration holds our emotions in Right Feeling.
The Light begins to shine on Gate the Eighth.
The great Presiding One, enrobed in radiant calm, said a single word. The Teacher heard the golden command, & summoned Hercules, the son of God, also the Son of man (mind).
The Light begins to shine on Gate the eighth, the Teacher said.
In ancient Argos, a hydra has made its dwelling there.
Beside the River a festering swamp stands. Within this bog a nine headed hydra lies. Nine heads (nine tests, nine levels to the personality, nine vices) this creature has. Hercules prepare to battle this beast (the uncontrolled personality). One word of counsel may I give, said the Teacher. We rise by kneeling, we conquer by surrendering, we gain by giving up.
Go forth, O son of God, son of man & conquer.”
We prepare today, Saturday. We begin to read the Labours of Hercules to prepare for the Scorpio solar festival on Monday.
Love to everyone today. Risa

First Day of Autumn – Sun enters Libra.
Reappearance of the Christ meditation today w/ the NGWS.
Night Light News is updated – www.nightlightnews.org/
Peace Messengers, Peace Wave, Peace itself, Mercury, Autumn.
We concentrate on Libra today.
Libra is the sign of Right Values, Judgment & Right Human Relations with all Earth’s kingdoms, especially with each other.
Sun entered Libra this morning at 7:21am west coast time.
The moon is in Gemini. And Mercury is Stationary direct – 15 degrees Virgo.
Jupiter & Venus are in Libra too.
Venus rules Libra & Gemini.
Venus ruling Libra calls us to Right Values.
Autumn (Fall Equinox in northern hemisphere, spring equinox in southern hemisphere – equal light & dark).
Equinox – he Sun rests at the equator.
We have on this first Libra day equal light (day) and dark (night). Soon humanity’s festivals of light will begin – reminding us that within darkness there is hidden Light (spirit within matter).
***
A Study of Libra – preparing us for the month of Libra
So we may understand the many facets, levels, gifts, aspects of Libra.And the tasks we undertake in Libra.
Libra is the Light that moves to rest.
The light that oscillates, until a point of balance is achieved.
Libra is the light that is distinguished by a moving up & down until a poise is achieved.
Libra is a pause.
Our task in meditation during Libra is Contemplation.
Libra’s pause is an assessment, a contemplation of things.
Contemplating our personality as it is related to the Soul.
Libra stands between 2 activities.
In Libra we are paused & in contemplation.
Because we must make important decisions in Libra.
We move forward into the great crisis of Scorpio.
Or we move back into previous experiences once again.
Libra experiences two contrasting realities.
Libra must balance between the two.
And then choose to align one or the other.
The Soul or the personality.
Libra receives & distributes Rays 3 & 7 (this Ray 7 is from Uranus, the Soul ruler of Libra).
Ray 3 – Divine Intelligence, Right Action, Right Economy.
Ray 7 – anchors this into the world, bringing about new rhythms.
Together with Pluto they create the New Economy. The outer manifestation of the 1st Initiation of humanity – that of bread, food and all the resources humanity needs to sustain itself.
Libra is about Right Judgment, too.
Interesting as the Jewish Festivals of Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur, when G-d looks at our lives & makes a judgement about our actions, occurs.
Librans would like to live a peaceful life.
Libra doesn’t like the flurry of disharmony.
And so, in the Light of yesterday’s International Day of Peace, & the equation of peace. Here are more thoughts on Peace.
Peace contains the components of understanding and sharing. Peace is therefore the result of understanding and sharing and not the origin of them as is often implied.
Peace is not a cessation of war. Peace is an active ongoing process.
We don’t begin with Peace. We begin with intentions of & dedications toward Goodwill.
Which lead us to Right Human Relations which leads us to the steps toward an Active & Ongoing Sense of Peace.
Our first day of Libra…love, Risa

Geomagnetic Storms yesterday from the Sun.
Continuing today. Careful everyone.
Makes one feel crazy, body hurts, emotions rising.
Right choices, right communication difficult.
Wednesday, September 9, 2015 – Mercury’s day.
Mercury rules, guards & guides our day – with new information.
Building the mind each day so that we can enter the plane of intuition.
Knowledge (Jupiter) builds our minds, allowing us to work with Pallas Athena, the intuitional plane, the Buddhic plane (4th, central plane on the Constitution of Man/Mind – an esoteric doctrine).
The sky in the early mornings – pre dawn –
the moon, Venus, Jupiter, Regulus, etc.
Remaining under the Light & protection of Virgo.
The Madonna, the Mother (matter) pregnant with the new kingdom.
The 5th Kingdom, that of the Soul.
Life quickens. We await Winter Solstice, when the new light comes forth.
When the Solar Angels came to Earth, sacrificing themselves,
in the Lemurian Age – 18-21 million years ago – our little protoplasmic bodies were broken into two – we became two genders – male & female. This was a new developmental stage on Earth.
Leo is the male. Virgo is the female parts of ourselves.
Gender is NOT sex. Sex is the manifestation of gender only.
Gender display duality – the light/dark, the up/down, the radiating/the receptive – dualities allow us to see two sides, to eventually make choices, then to synthesize the two – which is an upliftment above duality – the point at the top of the triangle. We draw that triangle. Mercury, Gemini & Virgo all understand this…
Leo/Virgo is the Sphinx. Until we understand duality, the sphinx is a mystery.
Leo is the male principle – the radiating outward, initiating, seed-thought principle.
Virgo is the female principle – the receptive, gestating the seed thoughts, the bringer forth in matter of the initiating seed thought.
Through the eons the two have been separate.
They have not been understood. The mind has not been understood either.
The mind has a lower mind (receptive). And a higher mind (radiating outward). The lower mind if asleep can be manipulated.
We must be careful to be awake, have a directed focused mind.
So that our lower mind does not remain unconscious & thus controlled by the Forces of Materialism.
Our minds are both male (focused, radiating outward)
And female (receptive, gestating).
Our minds must be both to be effective in our world.
Most of humanity function within the receptive mind.
Humanity must lift the lower mind up to the Light of the Soul.
So each of us can become “creators” in our lives.
And no longer enslaved.
The Forces of Materialism understand this – the receptive asleep unconscious mind. They project outward, through TV, the media, technology, symbols, colors, shapes, ideas, thoughts, words, that keep us asleep, keep us in the depths of materialism. The Matrix.
Offering humanity the Light of the Soul, the direction from the Soul, is the function of Virgo – her secret in the “cave of the heart.”
The masculine (radiating Light) part of the Mind directs the process
Associated with Will, provides the Seed Thought, initiating energies.
Electricity
We think of electricity – the proton, the one in the center w/ electrons around the proton.
The feminine (electrons) takes the seed thought (proton), builds & creates with the Light of the Soul. The parts of the mind unite under the Light of the Soul.
Study, prayer, meditation focuses the mind.
Builds the mind, strengthens it. Unites the female & male parts of the mind.
Lifts the lower to the higher, the direction of the mind through the Soul.
This is Virgo.
***Virgo
from Esoteric Astrology – p. 154
The mystery of the Sphinx, connected with the relation of Leo and Virgo, and tied up with the secret of the solar Angels. This is not the mystery of soul and form, but the mystery of the higher and the lower mind and their relation to each other.
Virgo has a close relation to the creation of all forms in nature, and is intimately connected to the deva or angelic kingdom, from the lowest nature spirits and elementals, up to the greatest archangels and Divine Builders.
Virgo represents the laborious service in the heart of matter which the Solar Angels expend in their aeonial supervision of a human being. As well, the Solar Angels are already deeply expressive of the Christ Principle (buddhi, or solar love) and are those lives that stimulate the germination of the Christ Principle (under Virgo) in the heart of those they supervise.
***
Matrix
The Forces of Materialism create the Matrix, the “traps” for humanity.
They are clever, keeping humanity asleep, exhausted, overworked, homeless, hungry, frightened. For our minds to awaken we must continually gather new information, use discernment & discrimination.
Working together to illumine & enlighten ourselves, each other & all of humanity. This is the work of the Soul in Service (the 3rd Law of the Soul). This is the work of the New Group of World Servers. This is the work of Virgo.
Read Catherine Austin Fitts’ blog today.
Understanding humanity’s global enslavement.
So we can recognize it, understand it, & then turn the other way creating the new…together.

Learning together, each day in the Ashram.
Our College, our school, our refuge…love, Risa
At the UN today – watching it on UN TV.
We are careful what we see. We are discerning & discriminating.
The UN, like all things in form & matter, have a personality, a Soul & an essential originating Spirit (purpose, goal). The UN is an outpost of the Hierarchy. The Avatar of Synthesis oversees the General Assembly. The Security Council at times functions like the personality. We are careful of the Agendas that the UN brings forth. If they Agendas are brought forth & supported by the corporations, then we know that Centralization (read control) is the outcome of the proposals. We are careful, discriminating, we are intelligent, informed, knowledgeable, we are discerning. We call therefore upon the Soul & Spirit of the United Nations to come forth.
September 9

Full Moon Tonight, Cancer Solar Festival, July 1, 2015
Cancer – The Light of Form, Awaiting the Light of the Soul.
Studying today, drawing Triangles, preparing for the Cancer solar festival.
A Dance – the Pleiades (Enra Dance Company). Jewel box of lights, Pleiades.
In the time of Cancer. At the Cancer solar festival (full moon).
Cancer is Ray 3 (& 7). Ray 3, Divine Intelligence, Right Action.
Ray 7 – anchoring the Intelligence to create new rhythms of life on Earth. The Pleiades, 7 stars, 7 sister, 7 wives of the 7 brothers (Seven Rays in the Big Dipper). Ray 3. Our first solar system.
The Astrology
Complex day today w/ planets in the heavens highlighting the Cancer solar festival.
Venus & Jupiter in Leo (we see them together in the night sky).
The moon entered Capricorn this morning to join with the Sun for the full moon.
Sun in Cancer trines Neptune in Pisces.
Then the full moon this evening.
Preparation
Let us join together all day today.
Standing in Confidence, Aspiration & Dedication.
These hold our minds steady in the Light.
Meditations are held all day today & this evening.
Our group will come together at the following times.
6pm west coast
8pm Midwest
9pm East Coast
Invocations
We will recite the Soul & Great Invocation.
Join the NGWS world wide in the celebration of this Cancer Festival.
“I build a Lighted House & Therein Dwell.”
These are the words of the Soul.
Building a house of Light out of the personality (physical body, emotions, lower mind). The loneliness & isolation of the personality ceases as the Light of the Soul begins to penetrate the personality (matter). Gradually we (the personality) are illuminated to the idea of unity & universality, of Oneness. When the Soul begins its direction of the personality, we become, like the Christ, a channel for the “Light of the World.” When we radiate this Light it becomes “unlimited nourishment to all forms & creatures of life, to all the “little ones.”
Dedication
We dedicate ourselves at this Cancer Solar Festival to be the “Light for the World, nourishing the ‘little ones.’” This becomes our dedication for ever more.
We become the Universal Mother, pouring forth the “waters of life” to humanity.
We have limitless compassion; we develop inner reserves of nurturing energy. We selflessly create forms & structures on Earth for the betterment of humanity. We work with foods, agriculture, networking with women & men of Goodwill. We become the expression of Ray 3 (Divine Intelligence, Right Action, Right Use of Money/Resources, Ray 6 (Dedication, Vision) & Ray 7 (anchoring the Will-to-Good on Earth). These “pour through us unto a waiting & hungry humanity.”
This is our work today. Working always together in the Ashram.
Under the Light of the Soul.

Learning More,
Cancer Solar Festival at the Time of the Full Moon
The Full Moon of the Teacher
The (lower) mind is ruled by the moon, for the lower mind represents the reflective principle. According to our alignment the mind mirrors the higher and subtle or the lower and material. Especially in Cancer spiritual Disciples reflect upon the higher realms, thinking about, making contact with our Teachers, Guides & our (individual, group, world) Soul. The Teachers work as reflective principles and transmitters of higher energies, transmitting Light & Love & information to those who follow them. The Master says in the Spiritual Psychology meditations, “These energies are from Higher Circles. These are from whom I follow to those who follow me.”
In the East (geography) Cancer (the sign) is considered the month of the Teacher and Cancer solar festival at the time of the full moon is celebrated as the full moon of the World Teacher. (M.K.)
***
Understanding Precipitation of Light (a triangle)
1. The Teacher, which is also the Soul, becomes the “Light of the World” for our personality.
2. The NGWS is to be the “Light of the World” for humanity.
3. Humanity is the “Light of the World” for the lower kingdoms – animal, plant, and mineral. And for each other (humanity).

Drawing Triangles
Making Contact with the Heavens Through Symbols & Art
Venus Jupiter conjunction in Leo today/tonight.
Sun/Neptune – Cancer/Pisces.
We draw our triangles. Explained by the Tibetan. This prepares us more fully for the Cancer solar festival meditation tonight.
Cancer triangles and Neptune
From Esoteric Astrology, pp. 415-417
Lying behind all the many interlocking triangles in our solar system and conditioning them are three energies (emanations) from three major constellations – the Great Bear, the Pleiades and from Sirius. It might be pointed out that:
1. The energies from the Great Bear are related to the Will or Purpose (Ray 1) of the Solar Logos and are to this great Being what the Monad (Will of God) is to humanity/man (the mind of man). This is a deep mystery and one which even the highest initiate cannot yet grasp. Its sevenfold unified energies pass through Shamballa.
2. The energies from the sun, Sirius, are related to the Love/Wisdom (Ray 2) aspect of God or to the attractive power of the Solar Logos, to the Soul of that Great Being. This cosmic Soul energy is related to the Hierarchy. Know that the great White Lodge on Sirius finds its reflection and a mode of spiritual service and outlet in the great White Lodge of our planet, the Hierarchy.
3. The energies coming from the Pleiades, an aggregation of seven energies, are connected with the Active Divine Intelligence aspect (Ray 3) of God (Logoic expression), and influence the form side of all manifestation. They focus primarily through Humanity.
We draw these above triangles.
Triangles of Force
Connected with this major triangle and affecting powerfully our entire solar system is another set of triangles – a triple interrelation in special relation to humanity. This triangle of forces relates one of the major constellations, one of the zodiacal signs and one of the sacred planets within our solar system.
We draw these triangles.
•
• 1st Triangle: The Pleiades – Cancer – Venus for Humanity.
• 2nd Triangle: The Great Bear – Aries – Pluto for Shamballa.
• 3rd Triangle: Sirius – Leo Jupiter for Hierarchy.

Cancer & Sirius are related
The US is ruled by Cancer & Sirius (12/13 degrees Cancer)
From Esoteric Astrology p. 466
Cancer and Sirius
Cancer—Capricorn—Saturn (a triangle) (which are an expression of Sirius energy) enable the aspirant to tread the Path of Purification, of Probation. These energies focus and qualify the energy of the Great Lodge of the Most High in that distant Sun. They pour through the Hierarchy upon the mass of men and enable the unit in that mass to “isolate himself and turn his back upon the past and find his way on to that section of the Path wherein he learns to feel.”
1. Sirius – Working through – Cancer – Saturn – Capricorn
2. The Pleiades – Working through – Gemini – Mercury – Sagittarius
3. The Great Bear – Working through – Aries – Sun – Libra
We draw these triangles.
***
Cancer & Neptune
(Cancer streams through Neptune – the Christed (Soul’s) waters of life. Neptune is the Soul & Spiritual ruler of Cancer.
Today during the Full moon time, the Sun is trine Neptune – Neptune is the Soul & Spiritual ruler of Cancer – Spirit entering into matter.
From Esoteric Astrology p. 217-218
A great mystery is veiled and hidden in the relationship between Cancer & Neptune – for Cancer-Neptune is expressive of the seventh ray which anchors the Will of God, the Will-to-Good on Earth. This energy is apparent and radiating to humanity today at the full moon, Cancer solar festival.
We learn about these things together.
We draw our triangles.
We prepare for the Cancer solar festival.
Together. Love, Risa
We are completing the month of Aquarius this week. However, Mercury remains in Aquarius and we are entering the Age of Aquarius (Ages last 2,500 years). So Aquarius will be with us for a very long time.
At this time in our history, we are in a state of transition between two ages – from Pisces to Aquarius. In times of transition, the previous age is withdrawn as the new age comes forth. Transition times bring great conflict, chaos, disruption and breakdown (as there is now). It is a very vulnerable time for humanity. Times of transition can polarize humanity, creating two different camps or states of (mis)understanding. Countries and nations enter into chaos, as one way of life disappears and a new way of life slowly emerges. Chaos & conflict result. Humanity learns through chaos and conflict. This is the Law of Ray 4 – new harmony emerging from conflict and chaos.
