D is for Disciple, Dedication.
Maintaining composure today – standing in Confidence, Aspiration & Dedication – preparing for tomorrow’s full moon festival under the Light of Leo.

Today is Tuesday, July 28, 2026, Mars guards & guides our day.
Asking us under the sky blue light of Ray 6 – what are our hopes wishes & dreams? What are our visions. What do we believe in?

Sun in Leo, Capricorn Moon.
The Capricorn moon is resting today – in a very long void of course (v/c), which means, although it’s still moving quietly in the sky, the moon is making no major contacts or connections with the planets. With a resting moon, we are to rest too.

Aquarius (5) moon begins tonight at 6:46 (PT), 8:46 (central), 9:46 (east coast). It is unusual to have such a long v/c.

Preparing for tomorrow.
The Leo solar festival occurring at the full moon (a timing mechanism)
We stand in Dedication today – which holds our mind steady in the Light – preparing ourselves as Disciples to be fully present for tomorrow’s full moon festival, Leo solar festival –
Occurring at 7:36am (PT), 9:36am (central), 10:36am (east coast).

Prior to the full moon, the Aquarius (5) moon will make contact with Pluto (1), Neptune (6) & Uranus (7), alerting them to also participate in the festival.
Venus (5) will be joining Mars (5) – (Virgo/Gemini) so Mercury is involved in this love fest, too.

And the Sun is hand in hand with Jupiter (Ray 2 of love/wisdom) – both in Leo, & the three levels of the Sun shine forth.

Sun/Jupiter (most auspicious with a full moon) under Leo (2) is occurring at 5:18 in the morning (PT), 7:18am (central), 8:18am (east coast). Sun illuminates. Beneficent Jupiter (2) expands our hearts of Goodwill.
Love underlying this Leo festival a hundredfold.

The personality & the Soul united under Leo.
Instead of the personality forlorn & alone, isolated and unable to make contact with anything, the personality is called by the Soul to lift itself up to the Egoic Lotus (Constitution of Man chart).
There the personality is enfolded by the Soul. And the personality & the Soul fuse & blend. And we hear these words & we understand them.
I am (says the personality) enfolded in the Will, Love, Wisdom & Intelligence of the I AM (the Soul). I am That & That AM I.
An invitation to all of us to do the same.
Visualizing the lifting of our personality (physical body, emotional body, lower brain mind body) to the Light of the Soul.
Then we become an extension of the Will & Love & Intelligence of God. Then we become true Leaders in the world.

Did everyone hear this statement?
And the Disciple looked out into the masses of humanity and said – “I love you. I love you.”

D is for Disciple, Dedication (Corita).

We stand today in Confidence & Aspiration – these hold our physical body & emotions in balance, as we prepare for Wednesday’s full moon, Leo solar festival (6 degrees Leo).

Sun joins Jupiter at the full moon – a most auspicious event for humanity – Love/Wisdom streaming into the Earth.

The heavens are busy this week with meteors (Aquarid), fire balls, a summer triangle, a full moon (Leo festival), & with the triangle of Sirius, Jupiter & Leo enfolding the Earth. All indigo blue Ray 2 entering the hearts & minds of humanity.

The US chart is being affected as is the US president’s chart.
Love underlying all the events in our world. If we could only understand this, life would flow with serenity & peace.

The film Odysseus (The Odyssey by Homer) – playing out in theatres now – what is its significance?
Odyssey – written by Homer. Odyssius & also Ulysses.
Odysseus is the story of the human Soul wandering thru Earth’s kingdoms, God’s multileveled dense creation.
Ithaca is his home (heaven, place of peace). But He has wandered far from home for many many years, encountering all levels of experiences & realities. These experiences grow his personality to be strong & courageous – needed before illumination by the Soul takes place. And a new self identity.

From Cancer unconscious lost in mass unawareness, matrix of collective tribal thought.

To Leo beginning sense of self separated from the collective, beginning to be on one’s own, beginning to be aware of a personality self, learning about the self – one’s self identity.

To the awareness of have a Soul – vehicle between Spirit & personality – offering the personality Will & purpose, love/wisdom & divine intelligence.

Esoterically, the story of Odysseus is a profound spiritual allegory about the human soul’s journey: the descent into form and matter (earth), into material illusion (t’s real but it’s not real, it’s there for our experiencing, we must integrate it then go beyond it), the trials of personality, and the ultimate return to divine self-realization (heaven, the Father’s realm).

Odysseus portrays symbolically the awakened mind of man seeking after long years of battling with worldly things represented by the Trojans — to come to knowledge & regain knowledge of himself (self identity/Self, personality then Sou).

His faithful wife Penelope, standing for the higher nature, for love/wisdom & spiritual intuition, remains in the background of the whole poem as a permeating influence.

While Odysseus, as the active mentality, is fighting against obstacles and pushing onward in rapid movement, Penelope, waiting patiently at home for him to return, sits before her loom weaving and unweaving her patterns.

Odysseus not only is separated from his wife, but is an exile from his hearth and country; not only has he to keep constantly in action, but he has to find for himself the true path which leads homeward. This is our story, too.

Preparing today & tomorrow for Wednesday’s Leo solar festival.
For the facet of light from the zodiacal diamond, 12 facets, 12 lights, this month, the Light of Leo (where the personality & Soul fuse & blend). love, Risa
