The Buddha is Resting. We rest too today.

Today is Sunday, May 3, 2026. Day of rest & contemplation.

Preparing for the upcoming new week with events yet to be.

Today…

The 2nd day after Wesak (Taurus Buddha solar festival).

2nd day of Safeguarding the blessings of the Buddha after Friday’s Wesak Festival.

The Buddha is resting now in Shamballa after his precipitation into the field of earth’s dense matter. We are grateful for his sacrifice (from the heart). We rest too today with the Buddha.

Upcoming:

In one month we will have the Gemini festival. The waters (of life) blessed in our water bowls & gathered after Friday’s Wesak festival are poured forth upon the earth at the Gemini festival –

which is the Festival of Humanity & World Invocation Day.

Ascension & Pentecost

All the Catholic/Christian festivals are symbolic of events on the Path of Light.

Each Age celebrates the same festivals (following nature & the heavens). However each Age adds new symbology as well as new tasks for the understanding & evolution of humanity.

Each Age progresses humanity forward.

Each festival in every Age is an Initiation.

The Esoteric Wisdom Teachings & Astrological study explain the hidden essence of the Jewish & Christian Mysteries (religions, festivals).

And so…feasts & festivals.

1. Soon it will be the Ascension of Christ (40 days after Easter), May 14th.

2. Then Pentecost (50 days after Easter), May 24th.

3. Then the Gemini Festival, Sunday, May 31st.

The Astrology Now

This week – Pluto retrogrades in Aquarius at 5 degrees 31 minutes. Pluto is retrograde til mid October, retrograding back to 3 degrees Aquarius.

Only Pluto is retrograde at this time in the heavens.

In July Mercury Saturn Neptune & Juno will retrograde & join Pluto. So for now, except for Pluto’s retro, life is moving forward, sailing ahead.

Celebration:

Next Sunday is Mother’s day. Plan on celebrating in the afternoon & evening. The morning is v/c ’til after 1pm.

Today’s Saints Days & Celebrations.

Philip us the patron of hatmakers and pastry chefs, and James the Less (author of the first Catholic Epistle) as a patron of pharmacists and the dying.

Secular Celebrations & Nature.

World Press Freedom Day (calling Journalists to BE real journalists, writing & speaking Truth, offering facts, not opinions or propaganda to the public.

International Permaculture Day.

World Laughter Day.

National Lemonade Day.

Planting Pink Petunias Day.

Dawn Chorus Day (the sounds of birds at dawn – song thrush, blackbird, robin’s musical notes & the blackcap’s chattering warble – all at dawn)

Tomorrow – the dangers of distorted idealism, personality polarization, emotional extremes, blinded ignorance, lower mental entrainment, distorted will, violent rhetoric, imprisoning of the lower mind seen enacted by many at this time of Kali – a deep disturbing danger. At some point, there is no return. Risa
