June 2006 Celestial Timings
Wow!!! This is an powerful pivotal month within this pivotal year with
the 19 year Lunar Standstill reaching its exact center point this
month when the Nodal Axis arrives at zero Aries/Libra at the Summer
Solstice, plus Pluto is still near Galactic Center and the fixed Grand
Cross that has been active most of the year is coming into exact
alignment this month at the Summer Solstice. Certainly it will be
interesting to see what transpires in personal and world events. The
best way to be with all of this is to pay attention to what your
intentions are and to continue practicing self-forgiveness, self-care,
and self-love because green trees make a green forest or said another
way loving caring people create a loving caring world.
With that in mind and taking my own advice (prompted in part by my
Chiron Return and my own health and well-being on the line as I am
still recuperating from the intensity of the Pluto cycle and all the
changes that has been bringing into my life) I am taking June and July
off and will not be available for readings or mentoring sessions until
July 27. If you need to get in touch with me please do so before June
5 as I won't be returning emails or phone calls after that time until
the end of July.
This is the free Celestial Timings for June and I am including some of
the Introduction and a few of the days I wrote for June as well as the
amazing offering by Katy Morikawa. If you would like to receive the
rest of the Celestial Timings I wrote and are not yet a subscriber

Maybe human is Divine?
What matters is what you believe!
~Tom Hanks in the Da Vinci Code
When The Moon Walks On The Land
At The Calling Of The Cuckoo
The Shining Ones Will Return
Ancient Scottish Prophecy
Once upon a time the Gods divided up the Earth between them. They
produced a native race of good men and gave them suitable political
arrangements. Their names have been preserved but what they did has
been forgotten because of the destruction of their successors and the
long lapse of time. For as we said before, the survivors of this
destruction were an unlettered mountain race who had just heard the
names of the rulers of the land but knew little of their achievements.
They were glad enough to give their names to their own children, but
they knew nothing of the virtues and institutions of their
predecessors, except for a few hazy reports; for many generations they
and their children were short of bare necessities, and their minds and
thoughts were occupied with providing for them, to the neglect of
their earlier history and tradition. For an interest in the past and
historical research came only when communities had leisure and when
men were already provided with the necessities of life. That is how
the names but not the achievements of these early generations came to
be preserved.
From Plato's dialogue The Critias c 355 BC
THE SHINING ONES
By Christian and Barbara Joy O'Brien
www.goldenageproject.org.uk/shiningreview.html
Da Vinci Code
Synchronistically aligned with the power of this year 2006, maximizing
the Solstices now aligned along the Galactic Plane, Pluto at Galactic
Center this year and next in its 248 year cycle and being at the
center point of the 3 year Lunar Standstill window or "out of bounds"
Moon where the Moon is occulting the Galactic Center and the Galactic
Edge for three days each month, is the release of the long awaited Da
Vinci Code movie amidst a lot of controversy and not so great reviews.
However, this movie is amazingly activating for those who are open to
receive the codes of consciousness and awakening information through
the visual experience this movie evokes. When Tom Hanks gets down on
bended knee at the end in honor of the Divine Feminine, Sangreal
(Royal Bloodline) or Holy Grail it is one of the most moving and
powerful images of the brilliant caring masculine principle honoring
the long suppressed power of the feminine with a long overdue sense of
returning balance of these energies. The opening of this movie in most
places around the world could have hardly been timed more perfectly as
May 19 was in the window of the Mayan "days of no shadows" when the
Sun and Pleiades were aligned and codes of information were being
illuminated through that stargate as well.
Lunar Standstill and the Great Shining Ones
This year and next on the Isle of Lewis, in Scotland at the ancient
Standing Stone Circles of Callanish the Moon walks the land once again
activating the ancient prophecy that says; When the Moon walks on the
land, at the calling of the cuckoo, the Shining Ones will return."
Mythically we remember the Great Shining Ones are from the stars (the
Pleiades, Ursa Major or the Big Dipper, and Sirius etc). They were the
wise ones - the Magi - master builders who erected the standing stone
circles and other megalithic sites around the world for the purpose of
energizing and anchoring a crystalline grid connecting the Earth to
the super computer of our intergalactic space-time grid. These days
the galactic gateway is on the forefront of our experience as the
Solstices are now aligned along the galactic plane for the first time
in 13,000 years and Pluto is now aligned with Galactic Center for the
first time in 248 years.
Remnants of the knowledge and skill left by the Great Shining Ones
remain in the sacred sites they left behind and in the ceremonies
still performed from ancient times that honor and activate these
mysteries within these sacred sites. Some of the ceremonies honoring
the Solstice, Equinoxes and Cross-Quarter times as well as the 19 year
Lunar Standstill and other events are still known and often practiced
today.
One example is the lighting of the fires in the Stone Circles and
places of power reminding the people to remember and renew our
awareness of the mysteries the Great Shining Ones left us. These
Shining Ones have been known to return at certain times especially
when they are called.
The Callanish Standing Stones, Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, Chitzen Itza,
the Egyptian Pyramids, and many other sacred sites around the world
figure prominently on the planetary crystalline grid. The main sites
at Callanish, have an astonishing orientation to the 19 year Lunar
Standstill and are designed to amplify and anchor these energies
sending them through the crystalline grid in a continuous rhythmic
pulse each month when the Moon is crossing Galactic Center so that
these energies or incoming galactic vibrations cover the entire Earth
further awakening all life. The Lunar Standstill galactic download is
felt most strongly when the Moon is in late degrees of Sagittarius or
early degrees of Capricorn and in late Gemini and early Cancer every
month but most especially when the Moon is near Full. There are six
days each month within this window actively amplifying the incoming
galactic energies. This activation began in 2005 and is occurring for
all of 2006 and all of 2007 with the 2006 June and July Full Moons at
the center point of this Timing. (See Lunar Standstill Article)
Over the next couple of years (and especially during the Full Moons of
June and July of 2006) it is worth our time to visit these sacred
sites when ever possible to further participate in the great awakening
and transformation that is occurring. However, you do not have to
visit sacred sites to receive the gifts of these transformative
energies. All you need do is have the intention to receive and amplify
the energy wherever you are.

Special Note: There are so many profound Celestial Events taking place
these days it is challenging to give them all proper voice. The events
taking place in the Great Above help to inform us about what is taking
place in the Great Below. When we remember we inform the mysteries as
much as they inform us then we also remember it is helpful to know
what these events are so we can more consciously participate in
informing the unfolding mysteries through our intention and attention.
However, more important than knowing all the details of so many
amazing events in a mental way is to take time to tune in and get your
own guidance and sense of what these Times are about for you. Any one
of the ways I am sharing with the Celestial Timings or ways others are
sharing through their channeling and personal insights about these
Celestial Events can be useful as a place to begin accessing our own
conscious relationship with the incoming energies. It helps to
remember that the mind can not know it all but we can feel into what
is unfolding and trust our inner guidance is supporting us in
successfully navigating these rapidly growing, changing, evolving
times even if it doesn't always appear that way on the surface. It is
important to find your own tools and your own way through these times,
however I will share that some of the best navigational tools I am
finding include self-forgiveness, self-love, loving kindness and
compassion for our transformational journey.
June 1, Thursday. June starts with the Moon in Leo again emphasizing
the importance of practicing self-forgiveness and self-love. True
self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others is the singly most powerful
thing we can do to heal ourselves. Practicing daily self-forgiveness
until we feel we have fully forgiven ourselves for every possible way
we might judge ourselves speeds us along the path toward total genuine
self-love.
I forgive myself for all the mistakes I have ever made that harmed me
or harmed others in anyway.
"Radical Forgiveness is much more than the mere letting go of the
past. It is the key to creating the life that we want, and the world
that we want. It is the key to our own happiness and the key to world
peace. It is no longer an option. It is our destiny." ~Colin Tipping
June 2, Friday. The waxing Moon moves into Virgo passing near Regulus
today visible just beyond Regulus tonight. Regulus is the heart of the
Lion and one of the four royal stars, watcher of the North, and linked
with Archangel Raphael whose specialty is healing. The healing
energies of Regulus and the mysteries of the Virgo Moon, transmitting
ancient knowledge of the healing patterns within the web that can
transform any imbalances in our vibrational expression, further
illuminates the possibilities of the changes already in progress.
Spider Woman weaves the web of life utilizing all the wisdom gained
from the past keeping in mind the possibilities of even greater
harmony and wholeness that is yet to manifest.
June 3, Saturday. The Virgo First quarter Moon (13 Virgo 13) builds on
the healing energies already being transmitted and Mercury is moving
into Cancer as Mars is moving into Leo actively (Mars) engaging the
information and knowing (Mercury in Cancer) that helps us to create
our reality around healthy, radical, radiant Self-Love (Leo). Actively
practicing self-forgiveness powerfully transforms the wounds of
self-judgment and self-punishment.
I forgive myself for all the ways I do NOT trust myself to know what I
know and have judged myself as not good enough or not worthy of life.
June 4, Sunday - The waxing Virgo Moon is at Perigee or its closest
approach to Earth in this lunar cycle affecting the tides and possibly
our emotions. Venus (7 Taurus) squares Saturn (7 Leo) challenging us
to pay attention to the forms of beauty we encounter and the forms of
beauty we create everyday intended to inspire our ability to love
ourselves and to savor and enjoy the blessings of life. Ralph Waldo
Emerson reminds us.
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful, for
beauty is God's handwriting -- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in
every fair face, in every fair sky, in every flower, and thank God for
it as a cup of blessing.

June 2006 Overview ● ● ● ● ● ●
● ● ● ●
This is the month of daylilies, lilacs, and roses in my garden, summer
vacation and playing on the river, and a wild full moon that rises so
far to the south that it baffles the mind. But then, the planetary
life force is resonating in Gemini, which loves anything mind-blowing.
During most of this month, the sun hangs out in the lively, playful,
constantly changing archetype of Gemini. Lest we become too fixed or
earth-bound, Trickster mixes things up, sweeps us through wide
experience, cross-pollinates ideas and energies, lightens us through
humor, teaches or shares information through stories, and frees the
mind through irrationality that allows it to transcend duality and
experience true BEING.
Add to this Mercury in the evening sky at its greatest northern
declination all year at Galactic Anti-Center (June 1 - 3) followed by
its highest apparition all year for mid-northern latitudes (June 15),
so that it emerges at sunset in the western sky farther north and
higher than normal and-and we may expect the unexpected. Mercury in
the evening sky is known mythically as Hermes the Magician, the
unpredictable Trickster and creative mind-and it is out-of-bounds and
farther from the sun than any other evening phase of Mercury this
year. Wow! An iconic story about Hermes involves his infamous theft of
Apollo's (aka Mercury Morning Star, radiant teacher with his sacred
teachings) cows, so remember: nothing, not even the sacred cows are
safe.!
.or Sacred Chaos, as it were.What a juicy digression.
Sacred Chao (pronounced 'cow') comes out of Discordianism, which
adherents themselves describe as "a religion disguised as a joke
disguised as a religion." It's a whacky, irreverent view of reality
that celebrates disharmony and chaos as equally valid to harmony and
order. The Principia Discordia, primary sacred text of Discordianism
written by 'Malaclypse the Younger,' opens thus: "we are a tribe of
philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists, clowns, and
similar maniacs who are intrigued by Eris Goddess of Confusion and
with Her Doings." Eris is famous for having tossed the golden apple
inscribed "To the Fairest" into the banquet of the gods, which started
the goddesses' quarrel that spawned the Trojan War.
All philosophies and religions are understood as windows on reality,
relationships with chaos that seek to generate order, that aren't
inherently any more correct than any other window (or lack of window).
"Some.can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others,
some more pleasant than others, etc., but none can be more True than
any other." (PD, page 00050)
To diverse gods
Do mortals bow;
Holy Cow, and
Wholly Chao
More fun, a Discordian koan:
GREATER POOP: Is Eris true?
MALACLYPSE THE YOUNGER: Everything is true.
GP: Even false things?
M2: Even false things are true.
GP: How can that be?
M2: I don't know man, I didn't do it.
Needless to say, Discordianism is both a major ode to the spirit of
Hermes Mercury and a fabulous antidote to the Saturn superego, which
is mythologized in the Discordian legend of Greyface, who cursed the
human race to a life of serious and gloomy order. "The unfortunate
result of this is that mankind has since been suffering from a
psychological and spiritual imbalance. Imbalance causes frustration,
and frustration causes fear. And fear makes for a bad trip. Man has
been on a bad trip for a long time now." (PD, 00042)
"This book is a mirror. When a monkey looks in, no apostle looks out."
(PD, 00022)
Primary Source: Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia online. I love the
inernet.
But not all the energies this month are aimed at tipping over the
cosmic coffee pots. .Or maybe they are! The constellation Sagittarius,
which marks Galactic Center, is also known as The Coffeepot. The moon
continues its Lunar Extreme activations, rising twice a month (all
this year) farther north and south than at any other time in the past
nineteen years. Ordinarily, the 19-year Lunar Extremes correspond to
times of community renewal when we "dream the dream forward," update
the operating manual for society, and bring forward new ways of being
and doing in the world. But since we are at a unique time in the
26,000 year equinox precessional cycle, these extreme out-of-bounds
moons align each month with Galactic Center and Galactic Anti-Center,
an alignment made even more significant by the fact that the sun
itself never precisely intersects Galactic Center which lies 5.5
degrees off the ecliptic (the sun's path through the sky). But the
moon, during its extreme southern and northern journeys, does. All
this infuses the current work of community renewal with an intense
underworld dimension-facing the shadow, surrender, annihilation of all
that no longer serves, transformation, and empowerment. While the
questions around healthy structures for the ongoing survival of
humanity have taken on intense and catastrophic overtones, there is
also intense reason for hope, for the information seeded during these
lunar extremes is an answer to the huge challenges we face. From the
highest perspectives, galactic intelligence is giving us the
information we need to come into a profound state of harmony as a
planet. And this month, the full moon rises farther south than any
other full moon this year, aligned with Galactic Center and Pluto!
--This is an EXTREME FULL MOON--transmitting blessings and solutions
to a troubled planet, and catalyzing catharsis and transformation.
Wow!!! This is an powerful pivotal month within this pivotal year with
the 19 year Lunar Standstill reaching its exact center point this
month when the Nodal Axis arrives at zero Aries/Libra at the Summer
Solstice, plus Pluto is still near Galactic Center and the fixed Grand
Cross that has been active most of the year is coming into exact
alignment this month at the Summer Solstice. Certainly it will be
interesting to see what transpires in personal and world events. The
best way to be with all of this is to pay attention to what your
intentions are and to continue practicing self-forgiveness, self-care,
and self-love because green trees make a green forest or said another
way loving caring people create a loving caring world.
With that in mind and taking my own advice (prompted in part by my
Chiron Return and my own health and well-being on the line as I am
still recuperating from the intensity of the Pluto cycle and all the
changes that has been bringing into my life) I am taking June and July

Da Vinci Code
Synchronistically aligned with the power of this year 2006, maximizing
the Solstices now aligned along the Galactic Plane, Pluto at Galactic

further awakening all life. The Lunar Standstill galactic download is
felt most strongly when the Moon is in late degrees of Sagittarius or
early degrees of Capricorn and in late Gemini and early Cancer every
month but most especially when the Moon is near Full. There are six
days each month within this window actively amplifying the incoming
galactic energies. This activation began in 2005 and is occurring for
all of 2006 and all of 2007 with the 2006 June and July Full Moons at
the center point of this Timing. (See Lunar Standstill Article)
Over the next couple of years (and especially during the Full Moons of
June and July of 2006) it is worth our time to visit these sacred
sites when ever possible to further participate in the great awakening
and transformation that is occurring. However, you do not have to
visit sacred sites to receive the gifts of these transformative
energies. All you need do is have the intention to receive and amplify
the energy wherever you are.

June 2006 Overview ● ● ● ● ● ●
● ● ● ●
This is the month of daylilies, lilacs, and roses in my garden, summer
vacation and playing on the river, and a wild full moon that rises so
far to the south that it baffles the mind. But then, the planetary
life force is resonating in Gemini, which loves anything mind-blowing.
During most of this month, the sun hangs out in the lively, playful,
constantly changing archetype of Gemini. Lest we become too fixed or
earth-bound, Trickster mixes things up, sweeps us through wide
experience, cross-pollinates ideas and energies, lightens us through
humor, teaches or shares information through stories, and frees the
mind through irrationality that allows it to transcend duality and
experience true BEING.
Add to this Mercury in the evening sky at its greatest northern
declination all year at Galactic Anti-Center (June 1 - 3) followed by
its highest apparition all year for mid-northern latitudes (June 15),
so that it emerges at sunset in the western sky farther north and
higher than normal and-and we may expect the unexpected. Mercury in
the evening sky is known mythically as Hermes the Magician, the
unpredictable Trickster and creative mind-and it is out-of-bounds and
farther from the sun than any other evening phase of Mercury this
year. Wow! An iconic story about Hermes involves his infamous theft of
Apollo's (aka Mercury Morning Star, radiant teacher with his sacred
teachings) cows, so remember: nothing, not even the sacred cows are
safe.!
.or Sacred Chaos, as it were.What a juicy digression.
Sacred Chao (pronounced 'cow') comes out of Discordianism, which
adherents themselves describe as "a religion disguised as a joke
disguised as a religion." It's a whacky, irreverent view of reality
that celebrates disharmony and chaos as equally valid to harmony and
order. The Principia Discordia, primary sacred text of Discordianism
written by 'Malaclypse the Younger,' opens thus: "we are a tribe of
philosophers, theologians, magicians, scientists, artists, clowns, and
similar maniacs who are intrigued by Eris Goddess of Confusion and
with Her Doings." Eris is famous for having tossed the golden apple
inscribed "To the Fairest" into the banquet of the gods, which started
the goddesses' quarrel that spawned the Trojan War.
All philosophies and religions are understood as windows on reality,
relationships with chaos that seek to generate order, that aren't
inherently any more correct than any other window (or lack of window).
"Some.can be more useful than others, some more beautiful than others,
some more pleasant than others, etc., but none can be more True than
any other." (PD, page 00050)
To diverse gods
Do mortals bow;
Holy Cow, and
Wholly Chao
More fun, a Discordian koan:
GREATER POOP: Is Eris true?
MALACLYPSE THE YOUNGER: Everything is true.
GP: Even false things?
M2: Even false things are true.
GP: How can that be?
M2: I don't know man, I didn't do it.
Needless to say, Discordianism is both a major ode to the spirit of
Hermes Mercury and a fabulous antidote to the Saturn superego, which
is mythologized in the Discordian legend of Greyface, who cursed the
human race to a life of serious and gloomy order. "The unfortunate
result of this is that mankind has since been suffering from a
psychological and spiritual imbalance. Imbalance causes frustration,
and frustration causes fear. And fear makes for a bad trip. Man has
been on a bad trip for a long time now." (PD, 00042)
"This book is a mirror. When a monkey looks in, no apostle looks out."

But not all the energies this month are aimed at tipping over the
cosmic coffee pots. .Or maybe they are! The constellation Sagittarius,
which marks Galactic Center, is also known as The Coffeepot. The moon
continues its Lunar Extreme activations, rising twice a month (all
this year) farther north and south than at any other time in the past
nineteen years. Ordinarily, the 19-year Lunar Extremes correspond to
times of community renewal when we "dream the dream forward," update
the operating manual for society, and bring forward new ways of being
and doing in the world. But since we are at a unique time in the
26,000 year equinox precessional cycle, these extreme out-of-bounds
moons align each month with Galactic Center and Galactic Anti-Center,
an alignment made even more significant by the fact that the sun
itself never precisely intersects Galactic Center which lies 5.5
degrees off the ecliptic (the sun's path through the sky). But the
moon, during its extreme southern and northern journeys, does. All
this infuses the current work of community renewal with an intense
underworld dimension-facing the shadow, surrender, annihilation of all
that no longer serves, transformation, and empowerment. While the
questions around healthy structures for the ongoing survival of
humanity have taken on intense and catastrophic overtones, there is
also intense reason for hope, for the information seeded during these
lunar extremes is an answer to the huge challenges we face. From the
highest perspectives, galactic intelligence is giving us the
information we need to come into a profound state of harmony as a
planet. And this month, the full moon rises farther south than any
other full moon this year, aligned with Galactic Center and Pluto!
--This is an EXTREME FULL MOON--transmitting blessings and solutions
to a troubled planet, and catalyzing catharsis and transformation.
