Virgo Sun – hiding the Soul, a dim light, within form & matter.
Virgo, the Madonna – the Mother of the World.
The Soul is hidden in matter until the seeker finally recognizes within form & matter is a great Light of Direction.
Within matter, the Mother, is hidden the Father/Spirit, the Soul/Christ/Holy Child. Matter is like a magical vehicle, hiding a spiritual precious Presence. Virgo is a mysterious sign. Only understood by those who are awakened.
“I am the Mother & the Child. I God/Father, I Matter. AM.”

Aquarius moon today – Uranus rules Aquarius.
Bringing forth the new era for humanity.
But there is much planning to be done by humanity.
Helping to create the new era, making choices based upon true knowledge (Ray 5, the Ray of Aquarius).
Last night Uranus (Aries & Aquarius ruler) retrograded at 23 Taurus.
Next Monday, Labor Day, Jupiter (the heart of Aquarius) retrogrades at 15 Taurus.
Where are these degrees in everyone’s chart?
We are entering a deep retrograde time.
Retrograde times are magical times.
The rules are different.

Venus turns stationary direct Sunday at 12 degrees Leo.
Looking outside, our sycamore tree has lots of brown leaves.
Autumn is soon.
It’s time to plant the fall garden of greens.
Arugula is the fastest growing green. 29 days & it’s ready!
As August is ending, thoughts turn to autumn.

Today, Monday, August 28, a new week begins.
Sun/Mercury in Leo – radiating our Light like the Sun.
Aquarius moon – humanity entering the new era.
Ruled by Uranus – which retrogrades tonight.
Uranus (7), retrograding at 23 degrees Taurus.
Pondering upon what is needed in the new era for humanity to thrive.
Uranus retrograde, joining all the other planets retrograde.
Mercury, Venus, (Jupiter retrogrades next Monday), Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron.
It is a time of withdrawal inward for humanity.

Today –
Monday, Ray 4 – the Ray of Beauty, of Harmony Thru conflict.
Humanity is Ray 4, too.
Ray 4 is the middle point between the lower worlds (physical, emotional, lower mental) & the higher worlds (Atmic, Monadic, Logoic). See the Constitution of Man. Find the Middle plane, the Buddhic Plane.

Monday is thus humanity’s day (Ray 4 day).
Monday is the Moon’s day. Moon is also Ray 4.
Ray 4 is the Ray of Master Serapis – the Master of Art & Beauty – a high Adept.

Humanity & the Sun
Humanity, to maintain its life on Earth, receives life giving light Rays from the Sun.
The Sun distributes life and consciousness to all of humanity.
And to all Earth’s kingdoms.
The Sun nourishes all of life, giving ceaseless with no expectations.
Humanity must learn to be like the Sun, giving life and love & intelligence to all of its surroundings.
Being like the Sun & its radiance.
Every human being is a potential Sun.
Each of us is a progeny of the Sun.
We belong to the Sun’s lineage.
That is why we “rest on Sunday, the Sun’s day.”
Shamballa seeks to work with those who are like the Sun.
Those who are dedicated to the welfare of others.

Care of Others, Service.
Welfare & Care & Service to Others.
This is the task of Virgo (2/6).
Virgo, pregnant, gestating, holding the LIght of the Soul within herself/within matter/mater – the Mother.
The task of humanity under Virgo –
Learning to nourish & care for the surrounding life.
With the light of the Soul.
As it stream through the Ajna center.
With the love of the heart & its twelve petals of wisdom.
Streaming forth our light as the Sun does.
Sun at the heart of what matters.
love, Risa
