Integrate two potential realities or let go of one of them.

General Meaning

Although it has taken on a strictly romantic revision of meaning in some modern decks, traditionally The Lovers Tarot card reflected the challenges of choosing a partner. At a crossroads, one cannot take both paths. The images on this card in different decks have varied more than most, because we have had so many ways of looking at sex and relationships across cultures and centuries.

Classically, the energy of this card reminded us of the real challenges posed by romantic relationships, with the protagonist often shown in the act of making an either-or choice. To partake of a higher ideal often requires sacrificing the lesser option. The path of pleasure eventually leads to distraction from spiritual growth. The gratification of the personality eventually gives way to a call from spirit as the soul matures.

Modern decks tend to portray the feeling of romantic love with this card, showing Adam and Eve at the gates of Eden when everything was still perfect. This interpretation portrays humanity before the fall, and can be thought to imply a different sort of choice — the choice of evolution over perfection, or the choice of personal growth through relationship — instead of a fantasy where everything falls into place perfectly and is taken care of without effort.

In the Advice Position

Creative compromise helps you accept your commitments fully.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

The Lovers card advises that you study your options and make the wisest choice. Carefully consider your long-term interests. There is no judgment on what you choose to keep from the array of possibilities before you. Just watch out for choices that will produce dissatisfaction and discontent.

Be willing to make some compromises, then stick with the commitments you finally make. Trust your intuition along with your rational intellect, and once you make your choice, carry it out with conviction.

If You Were Born Today, July 24

You are security-conscious and practical, yet also enthusiastic about moving forward and open to new ideas. Both a dreamer and a planner, you will pursue your vision if you have a clear and reasonable plan. Others often turn to you for advice, and they value you for your input. In group settings, you tend to naturally and quietly lead. You attract, or you are attracted to, people who need help or who are misunderstood so that your love life can be quite colorful. You are comfortable, and communicate well, with people from all walks of life, young or old. Famous people born today: Amelia Earhart, Jennifer Lopez, Barry Bonds, Zelda Fitzgerald, Anna Paquin, Elisabeth Moss, Chris Sarandon.

Your Birthday Year Forecast:

With the Sun and Moon in harmony in your Solar Return chart, the year ahead should be satisfying and balanced overall. You are in comfortable demand and personally popular, and you are able to achieve a decent balance between work and play; personal and professional life. For the most part, you are on top of your game this year, and positive connections with others can be made fairly easily. With the ability to handle your emotions successfully, there is less stress on both your mind and body. Your self-confidence and positive attitude will reward you!

Even so, Uranus continues to transit square to your Sun until April 2019 (since June 2018). With this aspect, you might experiment with a new look or manner, or simply come off in an entirely new way as you feel your life speeding up. You are not dwelling on the past, and instead, you are interested most in what the future might bring. In the process, you could resent others if they seem to be telling you what to do or think, and you are not especially receptive to good advice. There may be some confrontation with friends, a boss, or a partner that prompts a breaking of ties. It’s possible that you need to move on, but do take the time to make decisions wisely. You might be tempted to throw out practical or traditional considerations for more exciting or stimulating plans. Unexpected changes in plans or events are likely. Although they might be unsettling at times, they could stimulate you to try new approaches, and they certainly act to cut boredom.

You’re willing to put in the effort for a mental interest or project this year, and you can feel pleasantly dedicated to your work or ideas. You are more able to focus on what you’re doing and communicating, and more inclined to notice and consider details.

Pleasing circumstances surrounding your love life, finances, and creative pursuits are in store this year, generally speaking. You are more generous, and others return the favor. You might receive financial backing or special gifts in the period ahead. You seek a little more from your love life and you are likely to receive it. Some of you could fall in love this year, or existing relationships are enhanced. Adventure-seeking is a theme.

Even so, some adjustments in your life may be necessary due to overblown expectations. Do what you can to keep your feet on the ground and avoid expecting too much from your relationships, or ignoring warning signs in relationships and financial affairs.

Helping you out is an aspect that suggests renewing and deepening a love commitment or social connection. A strong and stimulating–even motivating–attraction, relationship, or project is likely now. Secret loves or attractions may develop and existing relationships tend to rise to a higher level of insight and understanding.

Energy fluctuates this year. If you aren’t too rash or impulsive, you might be able to free yourself from restrictive circumstances. You could also have more courage than usual to do things that break the routine, and confrontations engaged in this year could clear the air and help you to move forward.

There can be some struggle between hanging on to a project or situation that no longer serves your growth. However, you are also drawn to establishing connections and/or relationships with people that help forward your personal growth. Teamwork and camaraderie, as well as meaningful connections, are themes. You feel your life is growing in purpose this year.

If there are health issues this year, look for blockages or constrictions since Saturn is involved with the Node.

Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface this year. Making connections with others from different backgrounds may figure strongly. Widening your mind through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. You more easily make personal sacrifices for what you believe to be the greater good this year.

Your creativity is stimulated this year, and so are your excitability and your need for freedom. It is easier than ever to express your individuality in a manner that is true to you. You are likely to be more outspoken than usual, perhaps even rebellious, until April, after which life settles down considerably. In certain areas of your life, you’re inclined to rock the boat this year so that you can break free from a limiting situation. Be mindful when/if making sweeping changes. There can be increased joy in or from your social life.

2018 is a Number Six year for you. Ruled by Venus. This is a year of relative contentment. It’s a time when love is the easiest to attract, and partnerships formed under this vibration have a better chance for longevity. You are especially able to attract others–and material things as well–this year. This is a good year for establishing harmony in the family and the home. Advice – develop existing relationships, be positive and receptive because these kinds of energies help you to attract what you desire.

2019 will be a Number Seven year for you. Ruled by Neptune. This is a year of preparation, chance, and refinement. It is not a time of dramatic changes. Instead, it’s a year when reflection on the past is helpful, and when refinements to your life path should be made. It’s a good year to study, observe, research, and analyze. Unexpected twists to your life story and “chance” meetings are probable. Advice – take stock of your life in order to prepare for more exciting years to come, examine the past and plan for the future, get in touch with your deepest needs and uncover your personal power, don’t strain yourself or actively try to expand.

The Most Powerful Gateway Week Ever

a message from Lisa Transcendence Brown

Aloha beautiful Star-Light BEing Family!

OFF-THE-CHARTS….

That about describes these powerful gateways that just keep blasting wide open all week!

How are you LOVING EXPLORATION into your own multi-dimensional EXPERIENCES too? How much magic do you experience and how much of your “stuff” (distortions) do you recognize to move through, process and “move out”?

How quickly are you able to recognize, own and then choose, release/shift? How much do you try to hold onto the “old” and how much of the “new” (opportunities and ideas) do you resist?

These POWERFUL GATEWAYS take each in every direction…. deeper inward, more expansion of consciousness, full-frontal “dealing” and weeding through any inner-tangled energy to untangle and untether from…. while staying wide open for your NEW, stepping up in every moment, resting more and LEARNING ALL NEW WAYS OF FUNCTIONING…

Collectives awakening to their BODIES now being a part of the “picture”

… their memories going, their emotions “off the charts”, as Cosmic Awakening and Askash Clearing increases, it’s different for each, depending on the amount of separation/density/cellular programming still held…. so each’s experience is different too.

I’ve been observing so many saying “I don’t understand”… this is because each is still “trying” to use their “brain” to figure things out and their “human eyes” and ears to hear/see… instead of going deeper inside and connecting to/through their own NEW INNER VISION to ACCESS their “new truths”.

As many’s memories go and linear thinking no longer works, a whole new WAY of “thinking” must be “learned”. This took me a bit, and my ego struggled with not being able to “do” like I did before. What used to take 5 minutes or was instant, would take me all day to “figure out”. I had to learn to “sit” and “wait” to see, until the answers came from within, until my pineal gland would open and I could actually SEE from within. This takes practice and much dedication and alone time….. as our whole body is involved in the process of THINKING and SEEING here.

As I cleared all of those distorted emotions, clarity came in more ways. As I learned to sit and tune and listen and be open in EVERY WAY… I started to UNDERSTAND and SEE how all worked….

A DREAM INSIDE A DREAM INSIDE A DREAM…

AN ILLUSION INSIDE AN ILLUSION INSIDE ANOTHER ILLUSION…

IT TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE and HONORING to TRANSITION TO NEW EARTH

The moments magical and such JOY, in order to HOLD THIS within me, meant CHOOSING what to allow and SEEING what I could not see before. In every moment… new awareness, new understandings and nothing like I “thought”. This magical existence meant many things and my ego didn’t like one bit of it… so I had to “learn” everything all over again…. and throw out everything I learned before/thought…..

THIS POWERFUL GATEWAY is just the beginning…. for a whole new COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE where each TRANSITIONS to a whole new way of doing everything….

Our sleep

Our work

Our foods

Our relationships

How we Support Ourselves and Each other

Where we live

Our Bodies

Our physical world things

Our-selves

EVERY REALity that we actually experience and “SEE” from within

As You SLEEP to AWAKEN from your own DEEP SLUMBER/SLEEP
to Dream, Imagine, Explore, Create
Open those Multi-Dimensional Portals for Access from Within
Everything is BIRTHED COMPLETELY ANEW

In every moment… all previous moments GONE…. that which used to have appeal/resonate, no longer does. Shifting, drifting and tingling…. our bodies ignite in LIGHT…. energy moves, our bodies weaken as PHOTONIC LIGHT restructures our DNA and every cell on a Quantum Level… Linear capabilities go….

EMPTY DATA-BANKS AND BLANK CANVASES

This is how your new body template works and how your lives will be… each day… ON NEW EARTH

IMAGINE – YOU CAN PAINT ANYTHING YOU DESIRE FOR YOUR HIGHER DIMENSIONAL CURRENT EXPERIENCES HERE

THIS WEEK WE EXPERIENCED an Akashic Wipe

The first I’ve observed and felt on a collective level this far. I was driving home one morning and decided to stop and take photos of the beach… the pristine ENERGY and surreal’ness is always soooooo magnificent ….

WALKING THE WAKING DREAM….

Is our awareness in every moment…. and knowing that this is possible for everyone to EXPERIENCE as each is truly ready to BE/HOLD LIGHT WITH EVERY BREATH….

THE ONLY REALITIES THAT “CARRY OVER”

…are the ones that are fully aligned and serve our highest purposes on a Soul Level for all of hUmaNITY… some will play out for awhile, as there are things to complete and “learn”. Gaining access to seeing TIMELINES changes how each “travels” through each day though, as you SEE all from present moment/Zero Point, you will stop INVESTING YOUR TIME/MONEY/ENERGY in that which you realize has already collapsed…. and you’ll collapse it in this moment and allow for all new realities to OPEN UP …..

OUR HUMAN ASPECT IS LAZY… it won’t even try to go beyond the linear ways

Observing collectives awakening to having to start to “think” for themselves, the words are DRONES WAKING UP…. for a metaphor to apply. So many “unable” to “think for themselves”, still trying to get things “done for them”, instead of FIGURING ALL OUT… which takes effort, exploration and going beyond the linear constructs and boxes “where all was laid out before”….. Waking up out of a program is challenging for each for awhile as each awakens from the old linear illusion for Higher Mind Consciousness to evolve/come online.

As Your Higher Self
Sit….
BE….
Observe…
and then figure it out…. Click that button, explore and go look for the answers… as they are not always provided externally anymore (except where your UNIVERSAL HIGHER ASPECTS OF YOU “APPEAR” TO GUIDE/ASSIST/POINT YOU INWARD MORE) or you “need” a shock, jolt or whammy to shake/wake you up.

Your mind’s eye actually opens up for your new VISION to come online… THROUGH YOUR WIDE OPEN, ATTENTIVE and observing heart/soul….

You have to go that extra mile, take those extra steps to expand for your higher mind consciousness to come online…

Go figure it out… go deep inside and sit and wait until you “see” what to do or where to go…. Listen to your inner/higher guidance/access and let it guide you for your “next steps”.  For awhile, it’s a slower process, because you are “learning” HOW to be/do/function with your evolving (Light Processing) body in all new ways…

Nothing is going to be/work like it did before…. it’s ALL NEW WAYS

How your body functions, what it needs, how you engage/inner-act, where your INFORMATION comes from, how you support yourself…. every part of our lives re-worked…. for us all….

WRITE YOURSELF REMINDERS…. as when you are shifting in-between dimensions, the amnesia can be “thick” for awhile (foggy groggy and veils dissolving), until you have fully acclimated/integrated to that new vibrational dimension with your whole body…. to be able to maintain/sustain and not forget/go unconscious again.

Start yourself a Multi-Dimensional Transitions Journal/Book and write down the things you need to remember (passwords, bookmarks, links, important commitments), as you won’t remember some of these things “until you come out on the other side”…. which can take awhile, depending on how deep you have to go to access your own SOUL and awaken fully with your whole body.  The rest, let it all go. It’s old baggage and you cannot take that with you, nor will you be able to conform to old linear constraints and constructs anymore.

This week has been the most BEAUTIFUL ENERGIES EVER…. and we continue to increase the photonic activity for integrating constantly.  Resolving old timelines, moving lots out and constantly accomplishing the new…

It’s been a most important week as Gatekeepers. I’ve not been able to complete all of the writings I started, because of my schedule, so I decided to send out some love with this and complete them as my own schedule permits. I’ll post some this week for you all!

Such an EXCITING “TIME”…. this is what we all came here for…. standing in your Sovereignty, learning new things, not giving your power away anymore and not having to rely on others to figure things out within yourselves….

IT WASN’T EASY, GOING THROUGH ALL OF THE TRANSITIONS FOR YEARS

… all the heavy duty clearing I had to go through, all that deep heavy duty matrix programming in my own body and awakening to realities that challenged our sanity and presented to challenge every aspect of my ego self…. awakening from all the distortions and dis-illusioning myself to CREATE a whole new Illusion, one that aligns with PURITY, honor, integrity, service to humanity and radiates out LIGHT CODES just by BEing and SHARING the knowledge that others didn’t have access to yet….

THIS TAKES DEEP DEDICATION by each one of us… to go deep inside and “make that connection” and hold it… in every moment and become PURE SOURCE LIGHT… with a physical body… and function in an actual physical reality that radiates back the infinite beauty, magnificence and abundance that we become….

This is a ANOTHER POWERFUL WEEK we’ve entered into ….

The “day out of time” (which is how we live, so we don’t notice much, the Galactic New Year and then the BLOOD MOON ECLIPSE… just to name a few, with sooooo much more going on than that…. as we move further through the POWERFUL LIONS GATEWAY… for much higher dimensional everything to open up!

YOU REALize the opportunities, realize what’s available, realize all that is always ready and available as you are. WE are in “constant REALIZATION” FREQUENCIES… where the MOMENT you realize, you then have the power to shift, change, re-write reality…. right then/now…. how awesome is that?!!! 🙂

This COSMIC RE-WRITE accelerates all…. so grab your happy, your excitement and your readiness and you go deep inside to see and figure all out…. because this is how all works. ♥

Day of Bast

Element: Fire
Altar: Upon a cloth the color of clay, set ten lit candles of pink and yellow, and the figures of many cats. In the center should sit a figure of Bast, and a sistrum.

Offerings: Give aid to an animal shelter. Give food to household cats.

Invocation to Bast

O great Mistress of Cats,
Lady of pleasure in ancient times,
Your eyes sparkle with mischief
And you grant your favors capriciously,
Giving them only where the whim takes you.
Yet we who inhabit this strange world,
Below you yet in power over all your subjects,
We would ask your blessing on us
As we give our blessing to those who are in our mercy.
May we never forget, Lady of tame predators,
Who are not so tame as we might like to believe,
That when we are in a position of power
We should never forget the spirit of those beneath us.
Bless us with joy in life, Lady Bast,
And may we go to our graves
Never forgetting what it is like to play.
Hail Bast! (Repeat response)
Hail Bast! (Repeat response)
Hail Bast! (Repeat response)

(For the rest of the afternoon, work should be done at an animal shelter, or spent playing with cats, which on this day alone is not shirking the work. Some folk of the House may choose to be cats themselves for this day; they need do no work, and it is lucky to pet them, but they must not stand on two legs or the spell will be broken. During this time, they must meditate on what it is to be in the strange predicament of the tamed predator who is dependent on the whims of humans.)

IS JULY’S TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE THE REAL INDEPENDENCE DAY

• RACHEL CELESTE HANSEN

On Friday, July 27, 2018, at 4:20pm PST, the full moon will be in Aquarius.

This full moon (known as the Thunder Moon or the Full Buck Moon) also coincides with a total lunar eclipse – which, at one hour and 43 minutes, will be the longest lunar eclipse of the 21st century!

Total lunar eclipses occur when the the sun, moon, and earth are in total alignment. For this August 2018 full moon eclipse, we here on earth are being put right smack in the middle of the Leo sun and Aquarius moon, striking a balance between our social conscience and our desire to be seen. Which means that this eclipse will have us primed to take our idealism to the next level… and if necessary, take it to the streets!

WHAT DOES THE AQUARIUS FULL MOON IN JULY MEAN?

The sign of the water bearer is all about making the world a better place—not just for ourselves, but for everyone else on the planet. (Sure, it’s idealistic. But if any sign stands a chance of making it happen, Aquarius is the one!) Under this full moon, innovative solutions to the world’s problems are just waiting to be discovered. All we have to do is tune our brain waves to the frequency of this visionary sign that’s both logical and intuitive, scientific and creative all at once.

If this sounds a little more cerebral than your average full moon, that’s because it is—and there lies the more challenging side of this lunation. As a rule, full moons can bring up a lot of emotions for us to process. But for all the brilliance of this fixed air sign, emotional intelligence isn’t exactly its forte.

It’s not that Aquarius doesn’t care. Actually, in its own way, it’s one of the more empathic signs of the zodiac. It’s just a lot more sensitive to energy—especially the energy of the collective—than it is to emotions. And while this sign cares deeply about humanity in an abstract, impersonal sense, it has a harder time relating to specific humans on a more personal, heartfelt level.

That’s where the Leo sun comes in. Its opposition to the August 2018 full moon reminds us of the need to bring more warmth to our interactions, and celebrate what makes us (and everyone else) truly one-of-a-kind. For those of us who tend to get “in our heads” a lot, it’s also a reminder to check in with our hearts—a vital connection, if we’re going to be true to ourselves and avoid getting caught up in group think at this full moon.

Moon in Sagittarius

The Moon is traveling through Sagittarius. The grass looks greener on the other side during this time. Jump ship. Learn a new language. Tell it like it is. Make people laugh.

The Moon is at her most optimistic and upbeat in Sagittarius. We are motivated by a need to seek the truth, and we are ready to pursue a new vision. We are not interested in details just now. Instead, we focus on the big picture. New experiences and adventures satisfy a deep emotional need. Spontaneity is the key. We may also be inclined toward overdoing and overstating. We don’t want to plan ahead, and prefer to “wing it”.

The Moon in Sagittarius generally favors the following activities: Adventurous activities that involve “winging it”, travel, higher education, starting publishing projects, advertising, sports, physical activity.

Your Daily Cosmic Calendar for Tuesday, July 24th

If you sense a big series of changes about to occur, your psychic powers are working at full capacity. Mercury in Leo is slowing down in direct motion as it prepares to begin a three-week retrograde cycle tomorrow. Furthermore, inter-planetary skirmishes become the rule rather than the exception on Wednesday and Thursday — leading to a Total Lunar Eclipse and monthly full moon on Friday. The situation today also has its rough spots as a potentially mind-enriching trine between the moon in Sagittarius and Mercury in Leo (1:23am) begins a 13 hour void lunar zone that lasts until earthy Capricorn moon starts at 2:50pm. During the void time-period, Venus in Virgo makes its annual opposition to Neptune in Pisces (12:24pm). From the positive perspective, this polarity can open profound doors of love and romance on the relationship front, but it is always possible that nebulous conditions wind up trapping you in a web of illusion. Do your best to maintain clarity of thought and emotional equilibrium throughout the day. The sun trine to Chiron in fire signs (10:34pm) and the monthly lunar union with Saturn in Capricorn (10:47pm) can be a pair of aces that gives you an edge over competitors on the professional horizon.

[Note to readers: All times are now calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
