Lots to read today. Lots to think about.
Note: read all comments today & note the 2020 Winter Solstice chart & today’s chart.
Reading today under the Light of Leo Sun Sagittarius Moon.
Mercury retrograde re-entering Leo – our creative self identity.
Humanity called to safeguard its freedoms.

Today’s chat –
Throwing a light on the 1st Amendment.
What is it? Why is it important? What is occurring around freedom of speech? Does everyone know?

Today is Wednesday, August 14, 2024.
A complex day in the heavens today.
And so, too, here on Earth.
Working with the signs & planets & stars.
Begins with knowledge.

Sagittarius moon today – sign of justice & truth.
Sun in Leo – each of us is a free agent, independent & creative.
Calling humanity to step into its creative freedom.
There is no creativity with Marxist Socialism ideology.
There IS freedom within a democracy. Does everyone know this?

Today….
Mercury/PLuto (Virgo/Aqurius) – details & depth of communication, transforming communication, transforming news. Words that explain the path to the new era. Aquarius is the sign of humanity’s freedom. The US moon is Aquarius. Moon is the people. The people in the US are to be free living in the first country that is an experiment in freedom. The people must uphold & safeguard that freedom.

Mars joins Jupiter in Gemini.
Truly a transit that allows for free speech – big bold communication!
Mercury enters Leo – more communication – this time about our talents, gifts & abilities, praising others also for their talents, gifts & abilities. What are they?

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare at 2:40am (ET).
What’s celebrated today?
World Calligraphy Day – words as art.
Creamsicle Day, Social Security Day, Love Our Bookshops Day,
Navaho Code Talkers Day, World Lizards Day.
&
Vigil (the day before) of the Assumption of Mary Day.
So much to celebrate!

What was seen in the news yesterday?
Because, today is Mercury’s day – sharing the news yesterday
& today.
Being awake & aware of what is occurring.
So we can take a stand, which is the stand for freedom.
For peaceful assembly, for the rights of the individual, & for freedom of speech – this is the 1st Amendment.

And so….
Today is August 14, 2024 –
It is my mother’s birthday – a Leo mother!
Proud of her children, calling them to creativity & to excellence.

And so….(knowing our history)…
What is today historically?

It’s Wednesday today, August 14, 2024.
Mercury’s day, Ray 4 day – seeking harmony in the midst of conflict & chaos & propaganda.
Mercury is retrograde, re entered Leo.
t’s a good idea to read the book 1984.
Because it’s being acted out in our country in our government at this very moment. Yesterday, a WaPo (Washington Post) “journalist” reported asked the press secretary what the government was going to do about the “mis information” (!!) that coming forth from the 2 hour conversation between the richest & most brilliant man in the world & the most well known & true prez in the world! (a shocking display of hubris by both the paper & the false reporter!).
In other words, the false journalist (WH reporter for the WaPo – was he paid to ask that question?) was equating free speech with mis information. This is clear censorship. A pathetic display of collusion w/ the WH to support censorship & to stop the interview from occurring. This is a monstrance breach of the 1st Amendment.

Question. Who created this idea that free speech is actually mis information? When did this begin? Who is & what is supporting free speech as “mis information?” When people cease abiding by the unspoken pacts (of & for the good of the people) that bind us, a free society cannot function.

The 1st Amendment – Freedom of Speech
The founders of our country (the U.S., the first country founded on the experiment of freedom – which the Dark Forces are destroy) knew what they were doing when they created the Constitution & Bill of Rights. The 1st Amendment (1791, Bill of Rights, 1st Amendment to the Constitution allows for free speech (which is not a license for violence in the form of words).

People Are Allowed to assemble, talk, share, discuss, etc.
These are natural ways of living.

“Democracy Dies in Darkness” (censorship).
The WaPo (Wash. Post) (thru its false reporter, an anti-speech activist) trying to get the gov to censor free speech!

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects many civil rights, including freedom of speech, the press, religion, assembly, and the right to petition the government.
(Note: iin none of these is violence supported).
It was adopted in 1791 and is part of the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. Again the 1st Amendment does not include any form of freedoms that incites violence.

What is being projected & propagandized now is that free speech on one side of the spectrum is to be considered as
mis information! This is extremely dangerous propaganda being offered to the public, a further means of separation & polarization. It gives license ultimately to violence!

We think on these things today, pondering upon them.
Considering now that we know more, & there is so much more to know – where we stand & what we stand for & what we will stand for if asked. love, Risa

For those of us reciting the Lamentations Prayer, we stand in the Light, & hold our lamps up high for humanity so the way for humanity is no longer so dark.

Lamentation Prayer
“The city (country, people, hope) stands so desolate.
The foe (the evil ones) has laid its hands
On everything dear to to the people.
The nation has seen her Sanctuary invaded.
For these things do we weep,
Our eyes flow with tears:
Far from us is any comforter
Who might revive our spirit;
Our children are forlorn,
For the foe of evl has prevailed all over the lands.
We call upon the Lord.
We know of His eternal mercies.
He gives mercy anew to His
people each morning.
Restore us to yourself, O Lord,
That we may be restored.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never cease.
They are new every morning;
Great is our hope & faithfulness.
The city stands so desolate, forlorn & alone.
However, we know the love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never cease.
They are given new to His people each morning;
Great is your faithfulness in us O Lord!”

In Hebrew:
יָדוֹ֙ פָּ֣רַשׂ צָ֔ר עַ֖ל כׇּל־מַחֲמַדֶּ֑יהָ כִּֽי־רָאֲתָ֤ה גוֹיִם֙ בָּ֣אוּ מִקְדָּשָׁ֔הּ אֲשֶׁ֣ר צִוִּ֔יתָה לֹא־יָבֹ֥אוּ בַקָּהָ֖ל לָֽךְ׃ {ס}

Today is August 18, Tuesday – Mars day, Ray 6 day.
Ray 6 is religion, devotion, prayer, dreams, visions.
A perfect day to read the Lamentation Prayers with our Jewish brothers & sisters, all intoning the prayers in solemn voices hoping to reach the heart of the Father.

Today the moon is in Sagittarius – a sign devoted to truth, to justice, to music & knowledge. Sagittarius would be one who loves the Gayatri – as it calls for the Divine to cleanse & purify the minds of humanity so they may seek the Truth & know the Truth & thus take Right Action.

Sun in Leo – continuing to cultivate our creative gifts, never know when Aquarius will call them forth to build the new era.

Everything I write here is esoteric. DIsciples understand.

And so to today, August 13, 2024.
So much is happening in the the heavens.
I am posting information from EarthSky today (below).
Mars/Jupiter tomorrow morning before the Sun comes up!
Many stars in view, the Perseids, auroras & geomagnetic storms!
It’s a party in the sky!

Don’t miss red Mars near bright Jupiter at their closest in the early morning hours tomorrow. Look east before the sun comes up! Jupiter will be the brightest starlike object up there. And Mars will be the redder, dimmer object nearby. Don’t miss them!
Tomorrow morning: Jupiter and Mars closest

Look for bright Jupiter and red Mars in the east, beginning about 2 hours before sunrise. The bright, white light of Jupiter will contrast nicely with dimmer, redder Mars. In binoculars, Jupiter’s moons will add to the view. And it’ll be a great event for telescope owners and astrophotographers to capture both planets in one view! Plus, Aldebaran, the Pleiades and the Hyades make for glittery surroundings. Read more and watch a video.

Severe geomagnetic storming, auroras … and Perseids

The geomagnetic storm level went up to G4 (severe) late yesterday, and more storming is anticipated today. Otherwise, geomagnetic storming stayed at G2-G3 (moderate-strong) levels during most part of the past day. And so conditions have been ripe for auroras at northerly latitudes, and as far south as the U.S. states of Iowa, Oregon and California.
Along with the auroras, there were also meteors! The Perseid meteor shower had its peak mornings yesterday and today. These 2 combined events formed an outstanding show in the heavens!

What an amazing week it’s been for those who love the night sky. The beloved Perseid meteor shower peaked these past 2 mornings. At the same time, Earth was hit by geomagnetic storming up to G4 (severe) levels …
