Lots to read today.
As we contemplate our past week
and prepare for the coming week.
What is written today is in allegories, symbolism, ideas hidden yet able to be perceived.

Today, Sunday, our day of rest & contemplation.
Preparing for the new week ahead.
Reviewing the past days, planning the next seven days.
Disciples are always prepared.
Knowing & living within the 7-fold nature of the Being called God.
Each day, week, month, year – possibilities & opportunities.

Night Light News is updated.
Virgo Sun. Sun opposite Saturn.
A teacher lies somewhere around us. We are to find it.

Mercury is busy making deep contacts today.
Mercury in Leo inconjunct Neptune – there is also an esoteric puzzles being presented. We contemplate upon it.
Scorpio moon – they mysteries are in plain sight here. We enter deep within them.

Mercury inconjuncts Pluto (Leo/Capricorn) – we are Persephone, holding our pomegranates. Each seed holding a segment of wisdom.

Then Mercury (4) enters Virgo (2/6)- & we begin to purifty –
Mantric words purify us, as well as prayers & meditation, pure waters & pure foods.
We are preparing for Autumn (Sept. 22), and for all the religious autumn festival – until Winter Solstice, which at that time we being preparing for Wesak, 2025.
And the 100 year conclave of the Hierarchy.
And the Reappearance of the Christ.
Life is a spiral on the Constitution of Man.
So much yet to come!

Today is September 8, 2024.
Eighteen days till Autumn Equinox.
FIfty-seven days till the November 5th election.
About the election –
He presents two phases of himself, two faces to the world.
With Gemini Sun, North Node, Uranus in the 10th house –
of leadership in the world.
The two faces of Gemini – the buffoon & the wise one.
Gemini always displays a duality – it is a teaching for humanity.
Some or many get caught in one or the other face.
True disciples see the two & understand Gemini.
And laugh at the comedy being presented.
Laughter breaks up crystallization. Laughter heals.
It’s like love.

Jupiter is in Gemini these days.
Jupiter is love/wisdom.
He has Jupiter in Libra – I talk to all the leaders of the world.
It’s good to be friends with them, he says.
So he goes out into the world (10th house).
And makes a connection with them.
Contact releases love (Ray 2). Gemini is Ray 2.

Jupiter expands us. True knowledge always or sometimes surprises us. True knowledge is Ray 5 – the color is a golden orange, like the leaves turning as autumn approaches.
In the Constitution of Man – there are seven planes/levels.
Within each of the seven planes are seven sub planes.

Mars/Neptune rules the emotional plane on the Constitution of Man (COM) map.
Many people live on this plane. It’s the Atlantean plane.
Filled with the waters of emotions, waves & waves of emotions.
No thinking happens here. Only reactions that create separations & polarizations. In our world, notice people on the reactive emotional plane. They do not think. They only react.

Note the Mars – angry, ferocious at times if we don’t believe as they do.
Neptune – illusioned, in maya, a captured emotional lower mind, no deep thinking, only emotions, reactions on an emotional astral level. Fighting response. Preservation response, Instinct. Beneath all instincts is basic animal fear. However, this is unconscious. The Atlantean emotional mind (Kama Manas) lives in the animal realm. It has not yet developed the tool of the higher mind.

Mars in Cancer these day.
Home become our focus. And how we are nurtured & nourished.
Pluto in Capricorn – the final transformation of government before Pluto enters the human & freedom & knowledge sign of Aquarius, November 19, 2024.

The stars & planets helps humanity evolve.
They are our brothers & sisters.
They wave to us from above. Do we see them? Notice them?
Their twinkling is their wave, calling to humanity.
We are here on earth to learn, to help each other, to find the pathway home, to evolve & we do it naturally.
We are all the Prodigal Son, having journeyed far away from the Father’s house. Living in the Mother’s house.
Finding our ways home together.
There is a natural pull of life & livingness & love that underlies all that we do. A pull forward & upward.
All that we are curious about teaches us that we are beings of love without end.
We live harmonically with others.
We are generous people. We love one another.

Understanding the Law of Approach.
Approaching all that lives knowing it is divine.
And the words of Virgo –
I am the Mother. I am also the Child (Holy Child, the Soul, the Christ). I am God, I am Matter, too.
Within matter (the Mother, mater) – Earth is precipitated water –
Within matter, the mother which is the Earth.
Is the spark of the Divine & also the Soul.

This is our Sunday.
Our day of contemplation.
What I wrote today is part of a puzzle.
It is Esoteric. love, Risa

Salutations to our Teachers.
While still in the Ashram Kitchen.
Mars in Cancer today – making comforting foods.
Making spaghetti sauce today in the Ashram kitchen.
Recipe below.**

In class this morning we studied Chiron.
A three hour class.
When we begin our year long studies soon, which I will
post for everyone to join us, we will study Chiron in our astrology charts.
Chiron awakens us through the deep wounding & suffering we experience. It IS the Awakener, setting us on a burning ground that is ongoing. Understanding our Chiron, brings a sense of healing within the self & then when we recognize the same wound in others, we help in their healing. It is a healing journey . Chiron is in Aries (see chart below). Chiron is calling us, as is the North Node in Aries, for each of us to “know thyself”. This is the purpose of our work here on FB & also the purpose of the upcoming classes we will be offering. Astrology is the primary way of coming to know the self & others.

But today…Saturday, September 7, 2024.
It’s Saturn’s day, Ray 3 day – Divine Intelligence Day.
We are working under Virgo Sun, Scorpio moon, Mercury square Uranus – soothing foods to ease the sudden shifts & changes Uranus offers to us. Uranus speaks to us today via Mercury.
Mercury & Uranus are the Soul & Spiritual rulers of Aries.
Uranus is Ray 7, the violet flame.

Mercury leaves Leo tomorrow, Sunday night, & enters Virgo.
We are invited to talk about ourselves, our talents, gifts & creative abilities.
Mars in Cancer – the focus on nourishment.
Jupiter in Gemini – more communication, lots of it!
