The Steps (below) – look at what is happening in France.
Educating Ourselves – we need to educate ourselves, & our young people.
Being awake, aware & educated so we can think, discern & discriminate clearly.
Then make choices & take action. Step by step. It begins with knowledge.
What did I write about today?
1. Steps to a religious takeover in a country (see below).
For example – what is occurring in France now?

2. In the spiritual world today –
A field of pumpkins – the color of Ray 5, Venus.
Pumpkin orange, winter pumpkins, persimmons.
Venus retrograde in Scorpio – what does that mean?
Venus can be war. Wars release the imprisoned liberation & freedom of
a people.

3. Beware & be aware:
What is occurring in France is a devastation & a destruction – a religious war that
has overtaken the country, moving from town to town, overwhelming the public,
bringing destruction & death to the people & to the society.
It is a disarming of civilization, actually.
First it was Afghanistan, then Pakistan then Lebanon – migrations of a religious faction overtaking the countries.
Now it’s Europe.
Next it can be the United States, the beginnings already seen in Dearborn.
Knowledge, awareness & reality are crucial .
What are the steps – step by step.

The Astrology today –
Libra Sun, Cancer moon, Mercury & Venus R in Scorpio.
Mars opposite Pluto – two Scorpio rulers.
Transformations afoot –

Venus (5) retrograde begins today. “til Nov. 14th.
Begins in Scorpio at 8 degrees Scorpio (4).
Mars rules Scorpio – so…
The armor of Mars forged by Venus.
Raw energy/actions Mars purified by the Light of Venus
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto/Mars, Mars & Mercury.
Scorpio – a steady fixed sign. One must maintain a steadiness, spiritual steadfastness, as the unbinding of the past unfolds, the karma.
Disciples must call upon hidden strength & energies, from lowest lifted up to the heart & throat.
Releasing hidden passions.

Venus retrograde in Scorpio – a profound spiritual & emotional alchemy occurring. While Venus is traditionally the planet of comfort, pleasure, and relationships, its placement in the fixed water sign of Scorpio (ruled by fiery Mars) ignites a unique inner transformation.
Scorpio – we face the hydra, our lower nature. We face the 9 tests – archetype of transformation through friction and struggle and war.

Venus – Divine Love.
Transmuting desire into aspiration into divine love.
Clash then ultimate fusion – creating the New Humanity.

Phases of a Religious faction’s conquest – occurring now.
• Stage 1: Infiltration — Migration into new countries, utilizing appeals for humanitarian tolerance, establishing demographic growth, building places of worship and pushing against religious phobia.

• Stage 2: Consolidation / Organization — Forming distinct communities, demanding accommodation (such as dietary or legal exemptions), and attempting to influence local politics.

• Stage 3: Assertion / Conflict — Open pressure for legal or cultural dominance, where traditional laws of the host country begin to face direct challenges from separate community standards.

• Stage 4: Total Domination of poplace — The complete replacement of local sovereignty and constitutional law with strict religious governance.

I am being very specific yet careful here.
Know what I am writing about. Look around in our country, the USA.
Has any of this occurred? Is any of this occurring? Where.
Be awake, be aware. Disciples calling in the Light.
Standing in the Light. Where the dark cannot touch us.
love, Risa

Today, Friday – the last day & hours of Sukkot.
As Sukkot ends tonight at sunset, Friday, the Jewish day of rest begins, Shabbat. And after Sukkot there is a prayer for rain.
I will post that tonight or tomorrow.
Beautiful words & ritual for rain from the Torah.

Disciples (as sanctuaries, within the Ashram of the Masters, part of the NGWS, which is both a school & a study) study all the religions & join in all sacred rituals.
Then the religions of all the Ages become One – which is what the Aquarian new religion has its roots in.
Each Age & each religion follows in the previous Age & religion.
Thus humanity evolves.

Today is Friday – Venus’s day – Ray 5 day.
Venus slowing down, retrograding after midnight tonight.
In Scorpio – at 8 degrees. Where is 8 degrees Scorpio in everyone’s chart? What area of life?

The Astrology Today – complex w/ Mercury.
Moon in Gemini is v/c (since last night.
Cancer Moon which begins 12:54pm (PT).
Mercury square Mars (Leo), inconjunct Neptune (Aries), square Pluto (Aquarius). Let’s lay out the Rays here.
Ray 4, 6, 1/5/2, 6, 1/7, 1, 5/7.
Mercury is busy today making the rounds in the outer reaches of our solar system.
Then Mars trines Neptune – two Ray 6 planets in touch with each other. Mars/Ray 6 – desires, aspirations, hopes, wishes, dreams.
Trines are harmonious. And disciples are the harmonizers.

Venus (5) retrograde in Scorpio (4).
There is deep intelligence & knowledge in the mysteries.

Venus – values, resources, finances, relationships.
Scorpio – the mysteries, things hidden & deep, discipleship, money, resources held in common. The Call.

Venus in Scorpio – a critical battleground for the fiery transformation of human consciousness.
Scorpio – the testing ground.

More tomorrow – as Venus retrogrades.
Studying Venus in Scorpio. love, Risa
