Brighten Up ~ July 19, 2005

Leos are thrilled. Astronomers report that the star HD 188753 located in Cygnus the Swan (17 Aquarius 02 to us astrological types) actually shares solar duties with two other stars fostering a planet evidently in a direct orbit around HD188753. Leos might fancy what it would be like to have three ruling planets! Woo hoo! Yes, well Saturn is in Leo and let’s clarify the fact that this report occurs with Neptune more or less aligned with the system in question. Sure, you get to be three times as good, manifest three times the number of personality traits and you can get a lot more credit cards. Rumor is you can have one Galactic Gold card for each star to which you are subject. Overlooking the word subject, let’s continue on. There would also be three distinctive elements of the will of soul symbolically seeking manifestation.

Way back last century in the decade known as the seventies, metaphysical types took lead (ruled by Saturn) crystals (ruled by Saturn) and hung them by threads in windows. I did this myself. I had one on the rear view mirror of my car. When it dangled in late afternoon San Diego sunlight (where I lived at the time) sparking images burst forth in wildly vacillating prism patterns. It was hard to tell when these flickers entered your retina if that was a flashback from a past life or a life yet to come on a planet in a multiple star system that you witnessed. Nevertheless, the point goes back to photons and lead. With one of these Saturn things and a steady stream of photons or light a lovely full spectrum rainbow, representing the colors of the chakras C to R beamed forth full spectrum. Indeed it was a lovely site to behold. The message of three Suns envisioned by an alignment with Neptune and Saturn in Leo might be a reminder to reflect all the light you can. Be full spectrum in your own energy and your own light.

Astrologers report to clients that during life challenging times planets are like table salt - when it rains it pours. Evidently, this remains true of galactic effects. After NASA tried to breakup the ice ball core of Comet Tempel 1 (we can only hope they made methane margaritas to celebrate and put the ice to good use), the X-ray emanations of that comet intensified. Comet Hale Bopp Shoo Bopp Doo Bopp a few years ago sang out the first chorus of confirmed X-rays from a comet. X-rays, in a medical sense, indicate inner structure and condition in a completely nonjudgmental manner. X-rays, in a cosmic sense, conduct a reality check to see what’s really going on in there - there being the inner workings of one’s psyche on a soul-motivated level. From the July 3rd - 4th impact (depending upon where on Earth you were) the X-rays intensified in the blast, which surprised astronomers with its magnitude. Until the 9th of July, the X-rays from a reasonably close human stimulated event intensified. Did we get it? What did it mean to you, if anything? Did you look? Were you full spectrum and/or did you bother in the new light to look at your shadow.

Want more? Recent observations of the Blazar PKS 0537-441 (20 Cancer 06) indicate a dramatic increase in its optical variability. The black hole Circinus X-1 (24 Sagittarius 08) recently displayed another source of dramatic brightening (dramatic = astronomers’ word, not mine). Add to that the discovery of a supernova in IC 178 (10 Taurus 52), which flared out from a stellar nucleus in that source. Is this more that normal? That’s not really important. What’s important is that the astronomers report “dramatic” events being captured by the receptivity of the variable frequency telescopes. Dramatic, of course, is a word astrologers often apply to the archetypes of Leo and the Sun, let alone three stellar sources in one.

You getting this down yet? Seems to be a Universal musing point appearing to us all. Look within. Find any limitation, real or imagined, that defies the certainly of soulful confidence. Blow it to smithereens in much the same way humanity attacks comets. Then, go full spectrum. Dare to fan your feathers. Show your true colors. Shakespeare said it best, “All the world’s a stage.” Find your mark and above all do not be upstaged by doubts, especially your own.

There will be more cosmic flashes to come. There always are. The Universe evolves in its own way always with the creation of new objects and entities that unfold as the plan allows. I’m willing to reckon that astronomers are the equivalent of the sky watchers in ancient, indigenous cultures. The wise ones and elders always heeded the urgings of the watchers. Regardless, the telegrams I’m receiving from those who watch indicate it’s time to brighten up.
