New Moon meditation today.
February 27, 2025. Thursday.
Pisces new moon 10 degrees Pisces.
See below….
Also, on this Thursday. – It’s Montessori Education Week.
Montessori taught a Cosmic Education.
The unity of all things, an indivisible unity.
The livingness of this unity begins with the education of a child.
Montessori taught the value of observation above all.
And the developmental stages of a human.
The four planes of developments into adulthood.
The developmental stages determines the approach of how one educates.
Cosmic Education is twofold: presenting to children “the creation of the universe through stories that integrate the studies of astronomy, chemistry, biology, geography, and history.” The children then gradually & over time “become aware of their own hopes, wishes & dreams, their roles and responsibilities as humans and as members of society…” This offers an impressionistic vision, an overview of & big picture of the universe. The Origin of the Universe, Life emerging, Development of humanity, Story of Writing, Story of Numbers, etc. These ignite the child’s imagination, wonder & curiosity.
Montessori wrote of this Cosmic Education – “The knowledge the child then acquires is organized and systematic; their intelligence becomes whole and complete because the vision of the whole has been presented.”
Cosmic Education = the planes of development, the integrated curriculum leading to a developing awareness of one’s role and responsibilities as a human, thus being able to understand the laws of nature.
Children begin to understand their place in the world and their role in society. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things and the unity of knowledge. They learn about the universe’s creation and how cosmic energies interact.
The children are introduced to patterns of universal truths, the interdependence of all living things & that everything has a purpose & a cosmic task.
The children develop a sense of awe of the world
– a desire to question everything
– a comfort in being able to know anything & an…
– empathy and responsibility towards each other and the environment.
Dr. Montessori recognized that all of science and history tell portions of the same story: the continuing creation of the universe. Cosmic Education tells that story.

New Moon Meditation.
Supporting the endeavors of the NGWS & the 10 Seed Groups.

GROUP FUSION:

I am one with my group brothers and all that I have is theirs.
May the love which is in my soul pour forth to them.
May the strength which is in me lift and aid them.
May the thoughts which my soul creates reach and encourage them.

ALIGNMENT:

We recognise our place, as a group, within the heart centre of the new group of world servers. Mentally extend a line of lighted energy towards the spiritual Hierarchy, the planetary heart centre; to the Christ, the “heart of love” within the Hierarchy; towards Shamballa, “where the Will of God is known”.

HIGHER INTERLUDE:

Hold the mind focussed for a few moments on the planetary role of the new group of world servers mediating between Hierarchy and humanity, responding to hierarchical impression and meditating the Plan into existence.

MEDITATION:

Reflect on the seed thought:
Through the impression and expression of certain great ideas, humanity must be brought to the understanding of the fundamental ideals which will govern the new age. This is the major task of the new group of world servers.

PRECIPITATION:

Visualise the precipitation of the will-to-good, essential love, throughout the planet, from Shamballa, through the planetary heart, the Hierarchy, through the Christ, the new group of world servers, through all men and women of goodwill everywhere in the world, and finally through the hearts and minds of the whole human family.

LOWER INTERLUDE:

Consider the many ways in which the “power of the one Life” and the “love of the one Soul” are working out in the world through members of the new group of world servers, so building the “thoughtform of solution” to world problems.

Praying for Cyrus, my grandson today & everyday.
Asking for prayers for his health & well being.
Keeping Cyrus in the Light of protection & safeguarding.
And Cyrus’s family – that all have a good heart.
Thank you everyone. love, Risa

Chaos – it’s purpose.
Chaos contains information that leads to knowledge & then to harmony.
Then it leads to wisdom. This is what art (all forms) does.
Like art does.
When chaos appears, there is no room or time for fear, despair, or self pity. There is only room & time for creation.
Everyone is an artist in one form or another.
When chaos happens artists go to work…. fiery fields of creation…
We write, speak, paint, dance, play, sing & listen.
That is how cultures come forth & people heal.
For chaos calls for creativity, for work to be done.
For art in all forms to come forth.
Ray 4 – Harmony & creativity emerging from chaos & conflict.
Even in the darkest night, the stars twinkle in the night sky.
Each of them watching out for us.

Aquarius Moon today.
Moon v/c from 2:04pm (PT) til after midnight tonight.
The afternoon & evening the moon is resting.
We are to be resting a bit too.
Tonight after midnight Pisces moon begins.
And tomorrow is the new moon –
Pisces new moon festival 10 degrees Pisces.
Where is a seeding occurring in everyone’s chart?

Planets we can see in the night in the sky now!
Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter.
A four stringed lyre plays in the heavens.
A mutable cross, fixed & cardinal cross.

Word & wings & planets & stars & light & elements & magical things everywhere. A spectrum of light everywhere.
Pisces – the Light of the World leading to the Light of Life itself.
We collect ourselves from the material world, place ourselves in the core of the heart & in the rainbow light.

Gratitude to those who sent me birthday messages.
I read every one 2x & smiled at each one.
My heart to your hearts –
And so…
What’s Upcoming – in the next week!
Mars direct, two planets retrograde & a new moon festival!
Today – Sunday, February 23, 2025.

My gratitude for all the loving & kind birthday messages.
Pisces often lives behind ferns & water lilies & only comes out for a moment or two. Everyone’s kind loving messages did bring me out from behind those water lilies for a moment or two. To say hello & to say thank you, too, to everyone for their loving greetings.

And so we continue…
Today is Sunday, February 23, 2025.
Pisces Sun Mercury & Neptune. Capricorn moon.
Water & earth – they like each other. Water expands earth.
Earth offers boundaries to water. The gifts of each of them to the other.
Mercury (4) trines Mars (6) today –
As Mars becomes stationary in the sky in order to turn around & move forward again.
Mercury is talking to Mars…you’ve been retrograde for so long (since Dec. 6) – now it’s time to move forward into new activities, new actions, new ways of being. Ever so slowly.

Mars began its retrograde on Dec. 6, 2024 at 6 degrees Leo.
Question: Where is 6 Leo in everyone’s chart?
What area of life?
That is the area where Mars retrograded & we turned inward.

Now, Sunday, February 23, Mars turns around at 17 degrees Cancer (where is that degree/sign) over the next few days beginning to move forward.
However, Mars remains in its retrograde shadow until the beginning of May! That means Mars is moving ever so slowly to meet its retrograde degree (6 Leo). Then it’s free from its retrograde shadow. Suggestion: Follow along with these degrees/signs on your astrology chart.
Does anyone need an astrology chart? Email me.

Here on Earth.
So, we, too, here on Earth, move ever so slowly – from an inward looking time (2 1/2 months) to an outward looking time!

Mars
Mars is action & activity, our desires & aspirations, hopes, wishes, dreams (skillful means).

During the Mars retro we may not have known what our desires were, we may not have been hungry.
Mars is outer activity.
When it’s retrograde the activity is inward.
We notice these things when we study the influences of astrology & apply this information to our astrology chart & our daily lives.

And so…
Retrogrades for 1/2 of 2025 !
Mars retrogrades every 1 1/2 years.
Venus retrogrades every 2 years!
This is an unusual retrograde year, 2025.

So, as Mars will be moving out of its retrograde phase, we will have NO planets retrograde (unusual) for one whole week!
However, another retrograde begins next Saturday! And another after that!

Venus & Mercury
Venus Retrogrades then Mercury!
Venus stations retrograde next Saturday March 1st at 11 degrees Aries. And on March 15, Saturday, Mercury stations retrograde, also in Aries (9 degrees 35 minutes).
The two, Venus & Mercury, both in Aries, will retrograde simultaneously! A most unusual situation!

In retrogrades we assess & review.
With Venus retro – our values, resources, relationships.
With Mercury retro – our thinking, communication, interactions.
Aries – our self identity within each of the above.
It’s a very very interesting retrograde time!

Upcoming Week!
In the meantime, this upcoming week!
Monday is complex & practical, Capricorn moon.
Tuesday is a serious day – – Aquarius moon & Mercury/Saturn in Pisces.
Notice what we & others chat about! What’s in the news?
Wednesday – Aquarius moon with a v/c afternoon.
Thursday is the new moon festival, 10 degrees Pisces.
Where is that new opportunity, seeds of possibilities, in everyone’s chart – 10 Pisces?
Friday is Losar – the Tibetan New Year Festival of the green woods snake.
Saturday Venus retrogrades at 11 Aries.
Sunday is the Oscars…for those who watch TV.
And the next week?
Mardi Gras, Ash Wednesday & Lent Begins.

Life moves forward & we sail along with it.
Life is a joy ride, a car festival, a garden, a mystery.
On Earth, the kingdom colorful.
love, Risa
