8:8 STARGATE + SIRIUS RISING 2019: Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

8:8 STARGATE

As the energies of the summer light heighten and grow like an un-mowed weed, we are escorted to a new conjunction of time and im-possibilities. We are asked to expand our horizons and expectations and our ability to receive. We are asked to become more, to do more, to see more, and to be more. Our gifts that come on the winds of change escort us into new understandings of how we are to boost our innate abilities. You are commander and chief of your cellular content; you are a directional for human consciousness. Your body seeks your direction and wisdom. Place this newly freed power/energy/light/ into any section of your life that needs and extra boost. It is pure energy, spend it well.

As we round the corner into the den of the Lioness in the month of Leo, we find ourselves face to face with our ancient future and our past.  Reflections in our world mirror our inner needs on all levels bringing to the surface all that has been buried alive.  Emanations from the light behind the sun rearrange our brain waves, readjusting the thinking patterns that have kept us hostage in an elliptical orbit.  The blue light from the star Sirius shines down onto all of our choices.  Stellar gateways open conduits are created.  Everything we do or do not do will be felt in all sections of the universe.

It is time for the solar lion to rise from her enigmatic posture of guardian and unleash what has been subjugated to human restriction.  A full positioning of this event transpires within the secret chamber of the left hemisphere of the brain for females and the right hemisphere of the brain for males.  Like an unexpected tsunami the ocean floor parts to release a surge and clear the mental shorelines of self.  Emanations from the stars reach down to work there healing magic upon all of us.  The light behind our Sun lifts her skirt exposing her stellar body for all to see. The dance of the seven veils of eternal time cleverly keeps most concealed.

On August 8, a living power will once again move into material form.  Like a cool breeze on a hot day just allow the solar emanations to encircle you without trying to corral them and tie them down.  The 8:8 is symbolic of the human DNA.  The star Sirius rises every midsummer this rising is associated with new thought, new light, and new beginnings.  It rises before the sun purposefully after being in stellar hiding for about 70 days.  Sirius houses the Great White Brotherhood, the Lemurian Elders and the Christ Consciousness. As the sun sends forth her rays of clarity a personal and planetary sonic boom is heard throughout the land.

Explosions of the old are atomic as they are cast off the old paradigm like dust in a dirt devil.  Truth unfolds itself to be seen in the long and short of it, Narrating a new bedtime story that can only be learned by heart.  Sleep beckons but the energy shouts so loud and is so demanding that sleep is short and not so sweet.

As the vibrations of the 8:8 Stargate is birthed the human body bucks at the thought of housing more light, downloading more encodings, or receiving any more truths. What was once hidden is seen, what was once seen is changed.  The eyes of the soul see with a new clarity redefining what was once considered dark.  The overlapping of the two suns creates a portal  for all to enter or exit depending upon choice.The tiredness comes to slow down the body and the ancient angers that stir in the emotional layer. The gravitational pull has increased as earth begins a new evolutionary spin.  Centrifugal force fails as all that was within the spinning bucket falls changing scientific truths to a point beyond confusion.

SIRIUS RISING 2019

The heliacal rising of a star occurs when it first becomes visible above the eastern horizon, for a single moment just before sunrise.  Each day after the heliacal rising, the star will rise slightly earlier and remain visible for longer before the light from the rising sun makes it disappear. The same star will reappear in the eastern sky at dawn approximately one year after its previous heliacal rising. Because the heliacal rising depends on the observation of the object, its exact timing can be dependent on weather conditions.

Sirius rising is different for every latitude, for the Smokey mts of Tennessee, it is on 8:8 this year. this date is a powerful doorway of unequaled opportunity to swim forward into a place of understanding your divine light skills.

Sirius has been honored since ancient times. In Atlantis, the mysteries were created on information received from the Sirian Star Masters. After the third fall of Atlantis, the Sirian mysteries spread into ancient Egypt. As early as 3000 BC the Egyptians started celebrating the helical rising of the star Sirius declaring this the New Year as the Nile flooded its banks in the time of the great lion, in the month of Leo.

Sirius is the home of Cosmic Christ for this entire Galaxy. It has ‘always’ been a spiritual prototype for Earth.  As the rays from Sirius arc onto earth via the sun, we have another opportunity to activate the Cosmic Christ seed within. The little solar jewels that are dormant DNA encodings, wait for stellar emanations to open sealed cellular files. When Sirius rises in your part of the world go out before dawn and look to the east. Whether cloudy or dark seen or unseen, the star Sirius will rise to meet you energetically. It is in the quiet times in-between words and thoughts that you will find the key that unlocks what has been sealed until now. Go outside, face east, and allow the pre-dawn energies to enter you. Ask to be released of all that no longer serves you and be filled in completion with that which serves your highest soul path and spiritual evolution.

Visualize the emanations and radiance of Sirius coming forth into your earth Heart from your star heart. Sirius gives you the gift of the ‘cycles of Time’, reconnecting all sacred spaces through time and space, on and off planet. The tone of creation sounds in every cell of your body on earth and cycles through all 144 levels of your light body. Without humans, the light from deep space, far off galaxies and event horizons would just continue to travel endlessly without ever stopping to gather and share the teachings and truths from other places of time and space. Light needs you as much as you need light; you are a receiving vessel.

This August 8, 2019 before the star Sirius rises, the winged messenger planet Mercury will make a morning appearance, escorting brilliant Sirius just before sunrise.  For Dandridge Tennessee latitude this would be August 8, 2019.  For locations farther south, this occurs days earlier and later for latitudes farther north. Go to this link for your actual date of Sirius rising per your latitude.


https://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/a-real-scorcher-sirius-at-heliacal-rising/



Start looking for Mercury and Sirius about 30 minutes before sunrise.  A binocular may help in viewing them.  Mercury is low in the east-northeast, about 10 degrees up.  Sirius is very low, in the east-southeast about 3 degrees up when first visible.  Sirius may twinkle wildly this low in the sky.Sirius, the Dog Star, is sometimes called the Nile Star because of its heliacal rising coincided with the flooding of the Nile River.  The first sighting of Sirius and its association with the rebirth of the Nile was so important that its heliacal rising marked the start of the Egyptian calendar year. Heliacal relates to the star’s proximity to the Sun. in the ancient past, Sirius made its first appearance in early July as seen from the ancient capital of Memphis, but due to the precession of the equinoxes, the star now rises in early August.

Spring has sprung, ~🐱
and Summer's about to come! 🌞-p




The little impish neighbor Calico cat that I occasionally see (so cute I want to steal her) spooked me the other night late when I was sitting our front on the steps, suddenly rubbing against my legs then bounded off just beyond reach. Then she was lying in the driveway, rolling around, but just as I was about to rub her belly, b~o~i~n~g~ -gone!


She should not be out at night, especially around here, we have coyotes here in the city. The cat I used to pet-sit disappeared years ago when out at night, we had seen coyotes on his street just up the hill from here. There are patches of woods despite all the construction and gentrification.


Anyway, she was chasing bugs and things and pranced off towards the back yard, which has access to the next street over. But even a smart, quick cat can't out-run a pack of coyotes, which we learned with McKinley.

One night, right after I had been pet-sitting, I was asleep and felt the weight of a cat walking on me. I was astonished when I opened my eyes to find that I was in my own bed, and not pet-sitting. I didn't know what it meant until a few weeks later when I got an email letting me know he was gone, just a few days after I had been pet-sitting, and they believed the coyotes got him. 😔


I do believe McKinley's spirit found me and came to say goodbye.

Selacia : Solstice Gateway Process

Solstice Gateway Process

a message from Selacia

Create Positive Energy Shifts

Ready to shift some energy in your life? This week we have a powerful Solstice gateway, providing a new doorway for transformation and progress. Continue reading for a simple process you can do now and throughout the week to take optimal advantage of this doorway.


Background


Solstice is June 20-21 depending on your time zone, but energetically it's more than one day. Indeed Solstice is a potent gateway occurring over several days and into the weekend of June 24-25.
Think of it as a quantum pause, providing opportunities over several days for you to see yourself more clearly. With more clarity, positive intentions you've recently focused on receive an energetic upgrade. This means that your intentions have increased aliveness and more focused direction. This upgrade can make a huge difference in what you are able to manifest!


Keep in mind that this is not an automatic upgrade. You must be present and consciously involved. What you need to do is not complex or difficult. However, your personal action is needed. Below are the steps. It's recommended that you work with these now, even if you plan to take part in a Solstice-related event this week.

Solstice Gateway Process

The following simple steps can be a guide for making the most of this Solstice gateway. As you work with them, do so with new eyes and be willing to change your mind about specifics. This gateway gives you the opportunity to revamp even current projects. So keep an open mind.


Preliminary steps include centering yourself and inviting the wisdom of your higher self. If desired, have a favorite crystal with you, holding it  as you do this process. As you do the process, don't overthink responses - go with the first ideas that come to you.


First step, consider the direction of your life. Give yourself some quiet contemplation time to explore your life direction. Get all of your senses involved, visualizing what it looks like and how it feels in your heart. Factor in both practicalities (like your actions and response of other people) and energies (like your energy state and mindset). Create a sentence or two describing your life direction. Example: being energetic and healthy as you apply a sense of adventure and experimentation with new things supportive of your life mission. Know that you can come back to this over the next several days for additions or revisions.


Second step, consider your place in the world. This is more about your role and life mission than it is about a job. As an example, you likely see yourself as a divine changemaker. Invite clarification of what this means on both practical and energetic levels. Create a sentence of two describing your role. Examples: your role may involve modeling heart-centeredness or authenticity. Like with the first step, you can come back to this later.


Third step, consider what needs to shift internally and/or in outer world circumstances. This part relates to inner qualities and belief systems, along with divine timing and situations with others. Examples: you may need to become more positive about results, having more patience before good things fully materialize; the ideal partner you need for expansion to the next level may not become known until after you do more on your own.


Fourth step, consider what is missing from your life. Knowing the answer to this question can be more important than what you discovered in the first three steps. Tip: most likely what's missing is more a feeling or approach to being than it is material success or having a romantic partner. Examples: laughter, joy, feelings of self-acceptance, being able to let go, or having persistence when nothing seems to be happening. Whatever is missing on these inner levels cannot be satisfied by career success or by being with a soulmate.


Fifth step, consider your support team. Reminding yourself that you indeed have support is helpful. Visualize the faces of your team, inviting a remembrance of how they assist you in both ordinary and extraordinary ways. Examples: friends and family, business associates,  counselors and healing practitioners. Be sure to include the support of spirit, your invisible team of helpers on the inner planes. Daily get in touch with a sense of gratitude for what these people and nonphysical beings bring to your life.


Over the next several days through the weekend, you can come back to this process for updates and more energizing. As you do this, your intentions will have more aliveness and more focused direction. Be prepared for wonderful new developments!

Gillian MacBeth-Louthan: Summer 2016

Summer 2016

a message from Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

Thursday, 26 May, 2016 

This summer many planets are bass-ackwards making all of us jump thru emotional hoops, as if we have not already been doing that for months. Understand this dear ones, as you walk forward toward the three eclipses of 999 you will be at a juncture of soul.  The past months/ years for some/ have left many faltering dangerously close to leaving the earth, and some are ready to ditch the light. Many are so emotionally consumed they are one step away from falling into a very large all consuming black hole. The human biology listens to every single word and inner thought you have. On the outside you are Pollyanna, on the inside you are Eleanor Rigby ‘wearing a face you keep by the door.” Every thought is either a blessing or a curse. By your words you shall be known.


Love yourself for doing the very best you could in any given situation and forgive your self for everything else. Do not carry guilt’s from any time frame.  They burden you, and weigh you down keeping you from flight.  They block you from feeling, they keep you from loving, and they limit you from seeing your true light. Stand in these energies of Light as you walk through the shadowed corridors of your own mind.  Every instruct, every failure, every guilt ridden thought comes and points its finger out. The guilt outweighs the good and the soul grows heavy.


There has been so much sadness and disappointment that the human heart is weary and just cannot consume one more morsel of bad news. As you walk through your own inner thoughts that are cloaked in fear realize that they too are trying hard to become light. The only way you can move ahead is with the vibration of love.


Everything is changing and becoming very demanding. The universe is pulling your ear and twisting your arm trying to get your attention.   It is demanding that you listen with your true one heart.  You are so afraid to look at your beautiful self.  You busy yourself in relationships, in cleaning; you busy yourself in everything and anything just so you do not have to spend time in the inner sanctuary of your own soul. The secret place the silent witness lives. That which echoes  loudly, bouncing off old hurts and hates.


When one hears the beating of ones own heart a cadence is created bringing a library of cosmic truths that wish to be seen from a different angle of thinking. As we all dimensionally shift everything we knew as truth also shifts causing great havoc in our souls. For what was our truth is like quicksand as it sinks to the bottom of what seemed so structured and powerful.

What's Happening in the Stars? June 22-28, 2015 ~contributed by Hillory Skott

It is said that the “Dog Days of Summer” are the days in between
July the 3rd till August 11th. Those dates are considered to be the
hottest and muggiest days of the year. Well it seems that the Dog Days
of Summer may start a little bit early this year for us ...weather forecasts
are predicting 35  degrees Celsius temperature mid week!

Hip Hip Hooray! Bring it on!



Salma was wondering....

But why do we give this expression to these hot days?
Why are dogs credited for such hot temperatures? I started
looking for some information and finally found the answer.
To those that are curious you will find it interesting.

In an Article written by Jerry Wilson he explains the following:
In ancient times, when the night sky was unobscured by artificial
lights and smog, different groups of peoples in different parts of
the world drew images in the sky by “connecting the dots” of stars.
The images drawn were dependent upon the culture: The Chinese
saw different images than the Native Americans, who saw different
pictures than the Europeans. These star pictures are now called
constellations, and the constellations that are now mapped out in
the sky come from our European ancestors.

They saw images of bears, (Ursa Major and Ursa Minor), twins,
(Gemini), a bull, (Taurus), and others, including dogs,
(Canis Major and Canis Minor).

The brightest of the stars in Canis Major (the big dog) is Sirius, which
also happens to be the brightest star in the night sky. In fact, it is so
bright that the ancient Romans thought that the earth received heat
from it. Look for it in the southern sky (viewed from northern latitudes)
during January.

In the summer, however, Sirius, the “dog star,” rises and sets with the
sun. During late July Sirius is in conjunction with the sun, and the
ancients believed that its heat added to the heat of the sun, creating
a stretch of hot and sultry weather. They named this period of time,
from 20 days before the conjunction to 20 days after, “dog days” after
the dog star.

The conjunction of Sirius with the sun varies somewhat with latitude.
And the “precession of the equinoxes” (a gradual drifting of the
constellations over time) means that the constellations today are
not in exactly the same place in the sky as they were in ancient Rome.
Today, dog days occur during the period between July 3 and August 11.
Although it is certainly the warmest period of the summer, the heat is
not due to the added radiation from a far-away star, regardless of its
brightness. No, the heat of summer is a direct result of the earth’s tilt.


There you have it....now we all know just a little bit more...

Go out and enjoy the weather....run barefoot on the grass....hug a tree...
get in touch with nature...this is the greatest stress reliever in the world!
Because sometimes you just need a break. In a beautiful place. Alone.
To figure everything out!

~scroll down for this week’s forecast~


June 22- 28, 2015
~Contributed by Hillory Skott 


...is the first week of summer it starts off with a supportive trine
between our great benefactor Jupiter and Liberating Uranus.
Followed closely by fuzzy Neptune and fact loving Mercury in
a growth creating square.  Mars will move to Cancer as well
which creates a possibility for indecision, frustration and possible
epic passive aggressive behavior.  Any energy directed towards
home and family will be more powerful. Find a productive channel
and launch yourself. The week ends with a zany freedom seeking
mix between other loving Venus and edgy Uranus.  Anything is
possible- Live in the moment- it's really all we got.


Summer is a much more stable time than spring. Things slow down.
You can slow down.  You can stabilize and slowly build on what
occurred to you during the beginning of spring.  Weight loss efforts
are often more successful at this time of year. It's a time for growth
but in a way that is predictable and less chaotic.


The week does start off with a lucky mix between Jupiter and Uranus.  
Be ready to jump at opportunities, but make sure there is an out if you
decide to change your mind.  The lucky energy shifts to a difficult mix
between Mercury and Neptune.  Things might get fuzzy, communications
can become unclear.  Hence, be sure there is a way out if you happen
to be on the wrong track. There are lessons in every direction. D on't cry
over spilt milk and all that.  Fail fast and move on if need be. The situation
has yet to clarify-don't allow yourself to be manipulated.   And most
importantly, don't manipulate. What goes around comes around.


Mid week fiery Mars moves into Cancer. These two don't really jive with
each other.  Mars charges ahead and Cancer likes to get there sideways.  
Cancer controls with a vibe and Mars just takes control.   This could create
some next level passive aggressive behaviour.  Yikes.  If you can focus on
a project that takes all your efforts to get ahead and build a more solid home
for you and your family this energy can be the wind in your sails.  It is all
about perspective and int ention.  


Sunday has a fun combo between Venus and Uranus.  Uranus is so quirky
and alluring with it's rebel perspectives and alternate lifestyle.  Venus loves
to connect. These two together could create an unusual love scenario.
Or urge you to bust out of restrictive relationships. Ruts don't work here.  
How boring! Get yourself out into the work on Sunday because it could
be such a lucky day. Put yourself into the positive flow of the Universe-
Life is waiting for your direction. You are the true wizard of your own realty.  
Think Big!

Gillian MacBeth-Louthan: Black Hole Summer 2015

Black Hole Summer 2015

a message from Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

Thursday, 18 June, 2015

Just like Time itself, Black Holes have an all or nothing temperament offering no in-between. This summer asks us all to enter places in our awareness that we have never even considered an option. To venture into our own personal cave and come out clearer than we have ever been. To enter a black hole in consciousness requires a letting go of all you knew yourself to be. Emerging into a place of complete metamorphosis.


The phenomena called black holes can be seen as bottomless pools of consciousness. Places where you enter and are forever changed. Many of the great ones from the past went into deep dark caves for years and returned profound. They used these dark caves of consciousness as one would use a black hole, an entryway to other worlds allowing them to see more than ordinary man. When they exited the caves it was obvious they had lost fear of life and death and everything in-between.


This year is an all or nil experience. As you stand at the edge of who you once knew yourselves to be the universe is asking you to embrace a future that has not been scripted. Allowing new encodings to be fired off in the brain that had not been accessible before now. The ultimate choice is to live and love without thought of loss. To jump without fear into the abyss with the knowing that in all darkness light is held captive. To come to the ledge and fly without remorse. There is no growth in a safe space.


Embrace the energy and light that you house and reach for the sky. Seek what inspires you as you idle in neutral waiting to see. All emotional flailing about weakens the immune system in a world that is already on edge. The planets will align this summer in a form that creates a sacred geometry. Bantering with the future does not place one in the cockpit of destiny. What is yet 'to' be is still unformed and embryonic of state. Waiting to be birthed.

Ride Positive Winds of Change Ahead of Solstice | Selacia

Ride Positive Winds of Change Ahead of Solstice | Selacia

A new lighter energy is coming in this week through Solstice. Take advantage of this by planting some new seeds in tandem with Tuesday’s new moon. Contemplate specific changes you want to see manifest over the coming weeks. Energies now support new approaches, new ideas, and unheard of breakthroughs. You must be present, mindful and heart-connected to access and act for optimal results.


New moons typically are like a doorway to new starts. This particular one is even more powerful, its energy reverberating for a couple of weeks.


Solstice and Post Wesak


Keep this at the top of your mind throughout this week leading up to Solstice and Post Wesak celebrations with the Masters who set the template for enlightenment on Earth. The beneficial energies of those beings is quite potent and palpable in these moments. Consciously tune into them and invite these blessings into your life.


Invite miracles, too!


Watchwords for the week are mindfulness and heart centeredness. If you become aware of anger, fear, or other negative emotional responses it is vital that you work through them and shift your focus to love. There will be challenging energies, as we typically have because of these tumultuous times. Do what you can, however, to avoid letting negativity poison your thoughts, actions, and new seed planting.


No anger or disappointment – regardless of reason – is worth carrying into the light-filled pursuits you want to create. None of these things will matter in the long term.


From that big-picture perspective, you are a divine changemaker who is eternal and a key player in shifting the scales from dark to light.


You are that light that you want to see prevail. Keep that mantra in your mind these next two weeks.
Set the Example for Others


Right now, so many around you are challenged and perhaps confused. Many may be unknowingly influenced by their fearful unconscious, unable to perceive things you understand. Be mindful of this when you encounter loved ones and even strangers. No one is exempt from the turmoil of our world being transformed out of the dark ages.
Remember that we are all connected – not only energetically and physically living together on this small planet – but we share common human stories through our lineages, past lives, and the mass consciousness.


Your pain is everyone’s pain. The pain of others is your pain. Similarly, your joy is everyone’s joy and you are influenced by the joy of others. Why not choose joy as your focus? It’s contagious and healing for everyone including you!


As you set the example for others – shifting into joy and doing your best to act from that place – you become an even more powerful force for turning our world right-side up again, into love.

If You Want To Heal Anything, You’ll Have To Do This a message from Cheryl Richardson

If You Want To Heal Anything, You’ll Have To Do This
a message from Cheryl Richardson
Monday, 15 September, 2014  (posted 17 September, 2014)

Today is an exemplary fall day.  The skies are bright blue with a few pale, wispy clouds.  The temperature is a cool and comfortable 65 degrees.  There’s a lazy wind bending trees this way and that.  And the sun is casting long shadows over the pots on the deck filled with the remaining flowers of summer.

Autumn is a tricky time.  While I love being able to tend to plants in the middle of a cool afternoon, I hate watching the petunias and geraniums fade.  The shock of color from zinnias and marigolds sends me running for my camera, and yet I feel a hollow kind of emptiness, knowing that I’ll need to say goodbye to them soon. 

I always get a little depressed when the flowers start to die back.  They’re like children I’ve nurtured and cared for all summer long and I’m not ready to say goodbye.

This year, with the help of a wonderful woman named Roberta Horsman, I created a healing garden on our back deck.  I filled it with vegetables, flowers, and statuary and it became a magical second home.  The energy and beauty of the plants and statues have inspired creativity.  I’ve loved writing in this special space.  New succulent plants have been a source of surprise and wonder when unexpected flowers suddenly appear.  And it’s been the perfect place to hang with Michael and friends for a dose of peace and serenity while enjoying great conversations.

This afternoon, while deadheading flowers and fertilizing the soil so the last annuals are encouraged to bloom, I thought about how a garden is such a metaphor for life.  We plant our seeds, watch life grow, tend to our needs and the needs of others, and eventually come face-to-face with having to say goodbye.

Goodbye.

I have a hard time finding the good in goodbyes.

I know life requires us to be present to everything – the success and sadness, the peace and pain. Learning to be with all of our feelings is fertilizer for growth and healing.

It’s just not that easy.

So today, as I appreciate this magical world I’ve cared for over the last few months, I do my best to stay with the joy and the sadness. 

It’s a healing garden after all.

And you can’t heal what you don’t feel.

This is one of my favorite gardening videos ever.  I’ve posted it before but I know some of you may have missed it.  And for those of you who didn’t, it’s great the second time, too!  Check it out here.
