Thursday, April 18, 2024 – Jupiter’s Day.
Jupiter is Ray 2 – a Day of Love/Wisdom.
Jupiter aligns with Uranus in TAurus on Saturday.
Alignment – lining up with.
Creating alignments with the energies.

Aligning with the Forces of Illumination, especially during the Taurus Buddha Full moon solar Festival.

Aligning ourselves with Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus.

Aligning ourselves w/ the NGWS – setting aside today
in preparation for the Reappearance of the Christ.

“People of goodwill can come together to make things better.”
These are good words.

Our Meditation
Standing together under the light of the Group Soul, facing the Christ with intention, dedication & Love, we say Reappearance Mantram together…

Forgetting the things which lie behind,
We will strive towards our highest spiritual possibilities.
We dedicate ourselves anew
To the service of the Coming One
And will do all we can
To prepare men’s minds and hearts
For that event.
We have no other life intention.
Ohm Ohm Ohm Shanti Shanti Shanti

The Astrology Today
Virgo moon today, our last day of Aries.
Sun enters Taurus (Ray 4) tomorrow morning at 7am (PT).
Aries – the first initiatory phase of the descending light.
Taurus – anchoring that light.

We are preparing now for the Wesak Buddha Full Moon Solar Festival occurring next Tuesday, April 23, 2024.
At 4 degrees Taurus. Where is that sign & degree in everyone’s chart? What area of life?
It is at this time each year that we begin our journey (visualization) to the Wesak Valley.
Journeying to the Wesak Valley together.
Picking up friends along the way.
As well as preparing ourselves…

We prepare by reading and learning about the Wesak Festival.
And about the Buddha.
I am going to the blue books, to the indexes.
Looking up Wesak, Wesak Valley, Taurus, Three Spring Festivals, Buddha, Will of the Father, Christ at Wesak, etc.
Everyone is invited to do this too.
One can also go to Lucis Trust website & FB page – there one can find information on the Wesak Festival.
I will post quotes each day from the blue books.
So we can all prepare together.
love, Risa

Quote for Wesak (in preparation).
Discipleship in a New Age – vol. I (page 629)
No cost is too great to pay in order to be of use to the Hierarchy at the time of the Full Moon of May, the Wesak Festival; no price is too high in order to gain the spiritual illumination which can be possible, particularly at that time.

In this manner, Shamballa and the Hierarchy were brought into a close relationship and two great streams of force were blended and a definite interplay set up between them. The Buddha, through His achievement of illumination, established the first major link with the Forces of Light. The Christ, through His ability to express the will of God in love and as world salvage, established the first major link with the Spirit of Peace.

Who can give an overview of this quote?
When we give an overview of what we understand, and share it with everyone, then everyone learns more. And we anchor the teachings. Risa

Mercury’s Day today.
The color is golden yellow, all its hues & tones.
I see each day – the Kingdom is colorful!
And so, what am I thinking of today?

“Reconnecting (with) all that words may have separated.”
Reconnecting all that words may have separated.
Reconnecting all things, people, etc. that words used may have created a separation.

Reconnecting.
What in our lives is separated & what needs reconnecting?
This is what I am thinking of today.
What are you thinking of today?

It is an interesting statement to ponder.
On this Mercury, Ray 4 (harmony emerging from conflict & chaos) day.
(Note: I have a question at the end of this posting -who would like to help create something?)

Today, Wednesday (Mercury’s day)…

Our last two days of Aries (1 & 7) – a new cycle of manifestation begins.

And so….
Leo moon today – Wednesday, April 17, 2024.
Leo, the sign of the heart, of creativity, of Love itself.
Leo (1 & 5) moon (4) today. Nurturing our creative selves.
Leo is the sign of Love (the heart of the matter).
When there is love, there is inspiration to create something new & bright & to give it away!
Leo is the 5th sign & house (area of life) on the astrology wheel.
The 5th house is that of children & of creation.
When we love, we create – Leo.

The sign of Leo is most important at this time.
Usually it remains in the shadows when we speak of the Aquarian Age. As Leo is the opposite sign of Aquarius.
However….Leo is most important in the creation of the new Era, that of Aquarius (5 with the heart of Jupiter, Ray 2).
As the Aquarian Age begins to unfold, as the Sun enters into the atmosphere & architecture of Aquarius (for the next 2,500 years)- two principles stand out.

1. Leo, the opposite sign of Aquarius – is called into play – Aquarius informing humanity – I cannot come forth until all of humanity’s gifts, talents & abilities are cultivated – because it is those gifts, talents & abilities that create the new Era (Aquarius).

2. The Laws & Principles of the new Aquarian Age are to be integrated. As each new age comes forth (each age is 2,500 years long), the World Teacher appears & the new tasks (laws & principles) are given to humanity in order to traverse the new atmosphere & vibration of the new Era.

The Astrology Today & the Rays
The moon (4)in Leo (1 & 5)today is traveling through the heavens. It is touching in on the neighborhoods of Venus (5), Saturn (3), Mercury, (4) Chiron, Mars (6) Jupiter (2) & finally Uranus (7).
Note; all the Rays are involved.
The kingdom thus becomes colorful!

Sun Mercury Venus Chiron are in Aries (1 & 5).
Mars & Saturn are in Pisces (2 & 6).
Jupiter & Uranus are in Taurus (4)- they have a “meet-up” on Saturday – 21 degrees Taurus.
Where is 21 degrees Taurus in everyone’s chart?

Sun enters Taurus (4) on Friday.
Jupiter/Uranus in Taurus on Saturday.
Earth day & the first night of Passover is Monday.
Question: Where is Earth in the astrology chart? Where is it located?

Following the transits each day is important for disciples.
The heavens have the task of informing humanity on earth about life itself, about timings of change & transformation.
Without this knowledge humanity “sees life through a glass darkly.” And the dharma bull eventually simply falls down.

Calling Readers – who would like to create quizzes?
I would like to ask readers of my postings – would several people like to help me create a weekly quiz based on the weekly postings? Create a quiz to be posted weekly? Perhaps a puzzle based on the teachings/information posted. It should be someones who would find this a fun project…love, Risa
