the Gayatri –

Today, is our last day of July – almost beginning to think about Christmas! Tomorrow, August 1st. Lammas –

Today July 31 – Virgo Moon (healing moon). Leo Sun (burning ground). Three fires of the Sun. Leo, sign of the Sun, sign of the Soul too. Sun’s light flowing through the Soul about our heads.
The light of the thousand petalled lotus flowing down into our etheric field, harmonizing our body, emotions, lower mind.

Venus square Chiron – taking a new path to healing.
Sun trine Jupiter – a day of Love & Wisdom, expanding our ability to Love. Then Wisdom flows forth into our minds, hearts & actions.

Under the Light of Leo which is the Sun we recite the Gayatri.

Saying the Gayatri – Hymn to the Sun –
The Gayatri (2 translations)

O Thou Who givest sustenance to the universe
From Whom all things proceed
To Whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true Spiritual Sun
Hidden by a disc of golden Light
That we may know the Truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to Thy sacred feet.

(another translation):
Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and sorrow,
The Bestower of happiness,
Oh! Creator of the Universe,
May we receive thy supreme darkness-destroying light,
May the Divine Intelligence awaken our Intelligence.
May Thou guide our intellect in right direction, right knowing, Right Action.
