The new spiritual year begins.
Many symbols offered today.
Rist Day of Spring.
The time of seeding & the sprouting or grain & young corn.
Exodus 12:4.
In the Tarot, both the Fool & the High Priest.
The Fool (Wagner’s Parsifal) is the young man who has not yet entered the Quest, the Path. The High Priest symbolizes the highest expressions of Aries. He holds a Chalice, the waters of life for humanity & he says….
“I AM & Behold! I make all things new.”

The young fool (Aries) eventually thru time becomes the High Priest (Pisces). Aries to Pisces, through all the 12 signs.

New Day, New Time, New Season. New Spiritual Year begins.
A celebration –
And so…
New Day, New Light.
And at the beginning of things, we take the utmost care to be in balance, harmony & beauty. For the first day of everything new sets the template of the times to come.
The beginning is always a very fragile time.
We take the utmost care to be of harmony & beauty today.
It sets the template for the entire new year yet to come – the next 12 months.
We create our spring (or autumn) altars.
We set a mirror on the altar to reflect the heavens.
That is the reality we are influenced by & we live under.
That is the astrology of our times.

And so….
Time marches onward, upward.
Circles of time within a spiral.
Time under tension – calling us to attention!
The seasons – each year creating a spiral of time.
We mark our days with the seasons, creating celebrations, festivals, parties and rituals.
Which recognize as well as anchor new energies (Ray 7 activity).
For the upcoming times.
These rituals & festivals offer humanity context, a marking of things, foundations, & a circle/spiral of understanding

And so today, March 20, 2024 is the first day of spring in the northern latitudes. It is the first day of autumn in the southern latitude.
However, the Sun is right in the middle of the Earth at the equinox. A equaling out is occurring between dark & light.

Persian New Year
NowRuz – New Day in Persian
It is also Persian New Year – called Nowruz –
Persian, Iranian, Zorastrian New Year occurs every year at the spring equinox. This festival is observed in middle eastern countries. It begins the year in the Iranian calendar.
Which brings me to the question?
What was/is Persia? What is its history? How did it become Iran?
What were the gifts of the Persian culture that we know of today?
What/who is Zoraster? What Age did Zoraster live?
What is that religion?
Who knows?
Those are questions for everyone here in our college/university Ashram.

Archangel Raphael, the healing Angels assumes protection of the Earth during springtime.

The Fool & the High Priestess.

the New Light/New Year.

Today – March 19, 2024.
Tuesday – Mars rules, guards & guides our day today. The color is sky blue.
Three festivals today.
1. St. Joseph’s Feast Day – husband to Mary, father of the holy child, Jesus.
2. Spring begins in our northern latitudes. Autumn begins in our southern latitudes.
3. Sun enters Aries. The Sun is poised at the equator – equal light & dark – Sun enters Aries. The Sun in Pisces offers to Aries all the gifts of the past year. And the new spiritual year begins.
As the new zodiacal year begins with Aries, it’s also International Astrology day.

The Sun enters Aries tonight at 8:06pm (PT).
The moon enters Leo this afternoon at 12:33pm (PT).
Aries, Leo – two fires to stimulate the lives of humanity.
The fire of Life which is the fire of the Life thread anchored
in the hearts of humanity.

Sun in Aries, Springtime.
The highest point of the sun at spring equinox on the equator marks the exaltation or the brilliance of the annual sun at noon time. This corresponds to zero degrees of Aries. At the meridian we have the maximum light, and Aries is the most radiant sign and stands for the highest point of enlightenment. Just like the shadow is shortest at this time on the equator, it is the easiest to submit our shadow, the personality, under the light at the midday time of the year.

In humans, Aries is located in the upper part of the head, which is the highest point in man. Man is made in the image of God & Aries is revered as the head of the Cosmic Person in the Vedas.

At the beginning of each solar year the solar angel brings down an impulse from higher circles. This fresh impulse is a new message every year, a plan for the development of the planet and its beings. In us, it descends via the head centre, for the solar principle, the principle of liberation, is in our Sahasrara.

Thus at spring equinox, we are to align with the brilliant spiritual awareness in our head and envision a flood of light, the light of initiation, pouring into our head center 0 our “twelve noon” (the head center). The great Master Pythagoras called this the “High Twelve”.

The Story of St. Joseph – a story of Love itself.
In the most ancient of the Ageless Wisdom teachings Joseph was the Count St. Germaine who assumed the task of father to Jesus. St. Joseph was kind & humble, a loving father to his son, Jesus.
He was a carpenter who taught his son to also be a carpenter.
He loved Mary & he followed the directions of the Angels.
He fulfilled his task as husband & father in the most patient & humble of ways. He is a mentor to all fathers everywhere.

The essence of St. Joseph was that of love.
Anchoring deeply (Ray 7, the violet ray) the Love on the planet. The love of the father for his child.
Joseph is Master Count St. Germaine (who is also Prince & Master Rakoczi).

Master St. Germaine took so many incarnations to help humanity.
From the time of Krishna (early incarnation of Jesus) to his time in Greece, where he took birth as Plato to follow Pythagoras. Master St. Germaine now guides & protects the United States, which is an experiment if freedom & liberty like no other country has as its task.

Joseph
The parents (Joseph & Mary) who conceived Jesus were great Initiates of a very high order. They were called the Essenes (holy ones). Joseph was not just a carpenter. He was doing carpentry for his livelihood. But he was a great Initiate/Master. He was Count St. Germaine (CSG). It was Master CSG who, in tune with the plan, cooperated, to help conceive the future Master/Initiate, Jesus (Master in charge of all religions, & the one who was overshadowed by the Christ from Sirius).

Master CSG was functioning in the Egyptian and Assyrian temples as a great Master Mason (spiritual builder). As Joseph, CSG belonged to the dynasty of King Solomon and King David (royal lineage). He carried in him, royal blood. But he preferred to be hidden. He was known in Israel & frequently at the borders of Israel in Assyria and Egypt. He was considered a great preceptor in the temples of Assyria and Egypt. He was a Nazarene and knew Jesus, his son, as the incarnating soul with a great task to do.

The Great Ones hide themselves so as not to attract attention. SCG hid himself as Joseph, the carpenter. He taught in nearby temples as he also raised his holy child & was husband to his wife, Mary. Both Joseph & Mary were Temple Initiates. And in the Hierarchy, they, along with Jesus are Masters of Wisdom. Together, they followed a “due & ancient order” of things.
