Weddings. And Families.
How do they intersect?
A Story. A Conundrum, A Situation. Questions.
Today I am posting a story situation.
It’s Jupiter’s day today. Jupiter is Ray 2, Love Wisdom day.
The star of Love Wisdom, a star in the Big Dipper.

Today Pluto, the transformer, turns stationary retrograde.
2 Aquarius back to 29 Aquarius.
Pluto takes us down into the deep waters of understanding.
And so later we emerge with compassion.
And so the exploration of weddings & families.
Tomorrow, roses & compassion.

Today is Thursday – May 2, 2024.
it’s the Reappearance Meditation day.
It’s also the beginning wedding season.
Just beginning.
In my next life I want to be a wedding planner, a wedding dress designer. I have Libra rising in my chart this time around.

Libra rules relationships, marriage, weddings.
Venus is why. Venus (love, beauty, intelligence, truth) rules Libra.
The 4th house in one’s astrology chart rules families.
I have lots of planets in the 4th house.
So weddings & families – these are what deeply affect me.
These are what I am interested in. So it’s important to discover
what my values are around these two.
So, events lead to awareness leads to research leads to more awareness & then understanding.

Questions First which tells a story.
And so the story & the situation & the questions forming a story.
The story, situation, conundrum, beginning with questions.

Weddings & Families
What does one do when close family members have weddings and certain close family members are left out, not included & not invited? And there is silence around it?

What does one do when parts of one family (all adults) are invited to the wedding but the other parts of the same particular family are not invited? (wow, uncomfortable, right?)

What happens when (Catholic) family members, aunts & first cousins, etc. hear about a family wedding & (foolishly) think (due to tradition) that they would be a part of the wedding (& of course invited!) & together prepare to attend (it’s far away) & together find the most beautiful & precious gift for the bride & groom (based on the Sun signs of the wedding couple) and then one day there’s a phone call saying…”well, actually, you all are not invited to the wedding!”

What would the initial reaction be?
What could that feel like?
How do we think the left out family members might feel?
How does one respond?
What are the implications in terms of future interactions with family members?
What if we are told that it’s a modern wedding & traditions don’t hold & the bride only wants friends and only certain family members, so certain family members are then left out?

What happens when most everything (invitation, announcements, etc.) is done virtually & so some people not used to the virtual world miss out on information?

What happens, when family member who are left out are faced with ancient long held in contempt and anger & rage and then accusations begin to come forth in a family?

It then seems like the family is fracturing. Or actually fractured already!

And so.
What could be the reaction? The responses?
What could be the outcome? What are the repercussions?
What could & would one think & feel?
What could be an outcome?
What does one do?

Weddings & Family. Family & Weddings.
I realize I had an idea about weddings & family that was unconscious. So in my study of weddings & family, I wanted to uncover what I really felt about weddings.
The research into weddings & family thus allows me to be more aware of my thoughts & feelings, the “who am I & what are my values?” around weddings & family.
I want to know….
How do they (weddings/family & family/weddings) intersect? What are the purposes for families?
What are the purposes for weddings?
What are their spiritual components?
What is the purpose for combining the two?
Weddings & Families?
And so…the research of weddings and to research family in terms of weddings.
What is family, what are weddings?
What are their purposes?
What are their spiritual components?
What are my thoughts & values around these?
What are the world’s thoughts & values around these subjects?
What is tradition?

Continued Tomorrow
This will be continued tomorrow – Venus’s day.
Venus, ruler of Taurus & Venus is actually IN Taurus in the heavens now. Taurus (4). Venus (5).
Thru true knowledge & truth (5) harmony (4) results.
Also, Venus/Taurus assemble & build & create the beauty & harmony that all of humanity seeks.
This includes Right Human Relations which is the foundation of peace.

Meditation
Reappearance Meditation.
Reappearance of the Christ Meditation Day.
We stand close to the Christ, at the heart of Hierarchy.
Our meditation becomes a healing for all those in need.
In the light of our Soul, we say to the Christ….

“People of goodwill can come together to make things better.”
These are good words.

Our Meditation
Standing together under the light of the Group Soul, facing the Christ with intention, dedication & Love, we say Reappearance Mantram together…

Forgetting the things which lie behind,
We will strive towards our highest spiritual possibilities.
We dedicate ourselves anew
To the service of the Coming One
And will do all we can
To prepare men’s minds and hearts
For that event.
We have no other life intention.

We sound the OM three times, dedicating the three-fold personality (triangle of the personality – physical body, emotions, lower mind offered to the triangle of the Soul – Will, Love/Wisdom, Divine Intelligence) to the work of Preparation for the Christ’s Reappearance on Earth.

May the power of the One Life
Pour through the group of all true servers.

May the love of the one soul
Characterize the lives
Of all who seek to aid the great ones

May we fulfill our part in the one work
Through self-forgetfulness,
Harmlessness, and right speech.

(Ahimsa, harmlessness – from the Buddha – his Eightfold Path)

’till tomorrow then….love, Risa
