Good Rising. Great Awakenings. Beautiful Existence Arising.
Uben Nefer NEHAST Uben UN nefer!!!
While preparing for the presentation tomorrow, Call to Consciousness, something was brought to my attention. It has been stated that the Summer Solstice occurred at 10:54 am CDT. This would normally coincide with the Sun moving into Cancer….
Look at the position of the Sun: STILL IN TAURUS!!! So, I checked with the NASA Horizon site, to see exactly who the Sun moves into Gemini:
TODAY! June 22 at 2:09 am CDT.
And the class tomorrow
This causes me to wonder about so many things. Have the solstices and equinoxes changed due to the Precession of the Equinox? When I was in Heru, at Macchu Pichu, the Celestial Shaman there the Guardian of the Equinox marker told me that the equinoxes were now in February and October. When I went to Kemet last fall, it was to witness the Sun shining into the door way at the Temple at Abu Simbel on October 22, for 22 minutes, a very ancient fest8val celebration. I feel this is the time of the actual Equinox, but I have not really begun my investigation as of yet. I would like to measure the realtime number of daylight hours and see exactly when is the longest day. But does it have anything to do with the Sun moving into Sidereal Gemini? In the Babylonian system, it begins when the Sun moves into Cancer…..Solstice means Sun Stops, after the Solstice, the days grow shorter until the Winter Solstice, when the Sun Stops, and the days grow longer again. At the Solstice, the Sun Stops moving on one direction, and starts moving in the opposite direction….it is a time of powerful alignment.
anyway, GOOD SUMMER SOLSTICE TO YOU!!! Stay tuned for more from HeruScopes and Good Rising TV. For more info, visit horoscopes.com

Saturn can be the voice of your conscience, the remnants of a parent who restricted you or limited you in early childhood. The planet is known as The Great Teacher, Fate or Karma, and Father Time, because it puts you through repetitive cycles that turn out to be lessons in becoming responsible for yourself. Saturn functions on the social level of our experience (along with Jupiter), and it represents the place where you feel social stigma, less than adequate with regard to others, where you feel judged by others, or afraid to assert yourself for fear of social rapprochement.

According to Vasilis Kanatas inAstrology of the 13 Signs, “The location of the Moon along the ecliptic is independent of our geographical location at birth.

Sedna: represents overcoming Trauma and betrayal through self love and forgiveness. Helps us across difficult waters and through trying times…be careful what you wish for” syndrome; selfishness and greed hurt everyone; When we’re forced to let go of something we feel victimized, powerless, and that life is unfair, which it is.
http://darkstarastrology.com/sedna/ “The lesson here is not to accept being the victim, to turn the situation round and turn an extreme negative into an extreme positive. “
“Sedna’s myth may exemplify a female who does not want to commit in marriage, participate with men, or even be here on Earth, due to her fear of being hurt–an unresolved issue or molding from her unfortunate past, one that only perpetuates a life of loneliness. “ [Lunar Planner]
Mike Brown of Caltech commented on the naming of Sedna “Our newly discovered object is the coldest most distant place known in the solar system, so we feel it is appropriate to name it in honor of Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, who is thought to live at the bottom of the frigid arctic ocean.”
“The encounter with what has been lost, drowned out, or frozen long ago… In other words, our own ‘Ice Age’: the wounds in the soul caused by the impatience, condemnation, dismissal or anger of the father; the living hell of unresolved outrage; the violence of hardship where we cut off from what is desperate and vulnerable in ourselves or others in order to survive. “ [Melanie Reinhart, in her article “The Goddess of the Frozen Waters.”]
“Sedna swims into your life to tell you to stop being a victim. The way to wholeness is to recognize how you’ve been caught up in and are living the victim archetype, then to change the pattern by empowering yourself. Are you fond of saying, “Why is this happening to me?” Don’t get stuck in the “why”. … Sedna says we have all been victimized by something, by patriarchal institutions, discrimination based on race, gender, sexual preference, religion, or color. She encourages you to claim your power “ [Lynn Koiner]
“The goddess Sedna teaches us that we must delve into the dark, cold places that we fear most if we are to find the riches that rest there. Sedna reminds us that, in spite of all our infirmities and our foolish mistakes, we are still worthy of love and respect and have every right to expect, and even demand, that others treat us well” [Goddess Gift]
Sedna takes approximately one hundred years to travel through thirty degrees of the zodiac. (i.e. one zodiac sign)so like the three transcendental plants (Pluto, Uranus and Neptune) her effects will be felt most strongly by humanity as a whole – unless there are any strong contacts in the natal chart. Transiting planets in our charts will also activate Sednas influences though, opening our awareness of the unknown and the vastness of the universe. The role of Sedna seems to be to move humanity to the next level of cosmic awareness.
From 1865 through till 1966 Sedna travelled through Aries. This hundred year period saw the emancipation of women around the world, beginning with the forming of the suffragist movement and ending with the bra burning women’s libbers of the sixties. This seems an appropriate illustration of the collective influence that Sedna has. (Remember as a goddess in the myth, she cared for her people as a collective)
In 1966 Sedna gradually made her way into Taurus, where she remains today. So what can Sedna in Taurus hold for the collective influence of humanity? Taurus governs things that we value, to my thinking it is likely that our values will change and become increasingly orientated towards spiritual considerations during the next hundred years.
The Goddesses: Asteroids
The first Asteroid, Aset/Ceres, was discovered in 1801, and herald in the rise of the Divine feminine Consciousness. Now there was more space for the feminine celestial archetypes, to balance out the preponderance of male archetypes. The first hundred were named after Goddesses, and there seems to be no end in sight…. learn more at neptunecafe
The asteroids were all named after the female family of Jupiter. Ceres his sister, Juno his wife, Pallas Athena his daughter and Vesta another sister. Much of the feminine is left out of astrology aside from Venus and the Moon. The asteroids help add the feminine back into the astrological chart.
Aset/ Ceres
Ceres was the first to be discovered in the asteroid belt. It has since been reclassified as a dwarf planet, which would make Ceres at least as important as Pluto in the astrological chart since they are both dwarf planets.
Ceres was the sister of Zeus (Jupiter). She is the quintessential Earth Mother, and rules over food, cooking and nutrition. Wherever she appears in your chart, she shows how best you feel nurtured. This is also the area where you can easily provide love and comfort.
Your Ceres Sign influences mothering, hard work, parenting, and gardening as well. It will show how well we go with the flow… the universal one, that is. This is the unification of both giving and receiving through ourselves as an exchange of energy. Ceres is associated with fertility, the uterus and stomach. On her negative side, she influences grief, work problems, eating disorders, custody issues and kidnapping. She may influence low self esteem, fear of abundance, feelings of abandonment or unworthiness, over-attachment, possessiveness, parent-child complexes and barrenness.
Maat/ Pallas Athena
Pallas Athena was the second asteroid discovered. Named after Jupiter’s daughter, Pallas Athena is intelligent and cerebral. She is the weaver of patterns, linking ideas together. She is strategic command in both the warrior and the peaceful general.
Cities are her domain. She has an interconnection with Libra because of her focus on ideas. Like Libra, she can see both sides. She is not blind justice… she is only just. She is creative and artistic. She is a survivor. She expects everyone to claim their personal power.
Where her influence falls is where you will find talents in the following areas. Jupiter’s daughter carries influence over many things, such as the immune system, the arts, the father/daughter relationship, intuition, justice, wisdom, defense, horses and the kidneys.
With her spotlight on daddy’s little girl, Pallas Athena will help determine how you interpret your relationship with your father, and in turn how you treat all males in general. On her negative side, Pallas Athena touches on conflict, legal battles, injustice and illnesses due to a weakened immune system.
Juno
Juno was the third asteroid to be discovered. Juno is the wife of Jupiter. She has some similarities to Venus, but while Venus sparks that initial attraction, Juno makes the commitment. She sings of soul mates. As she moves through the sky, the face of relationships change, but she still stands for commitment of one kind or another.
Where you find Juno in your chart is where you may meet someone that you will remain with for a long relationship. She covers marriage, fashion and beauty. She is the patron of relationships and true love. Diplomacy is part of her sphere.
She has influence with the weather, flowers, fairness and female genitalia. She also dealt with many of Jupiter’s infidelities, and thus has influence over the negative issues of spouse abuse, powerlessness, women’s rights (both positive and negative), rage, inferiority complexes and unfairness. She may also affect issues of denial, betrayal, inequality and of course bitterness.
Vesta
Vesta is the second largest asteroid in our solar system and the fourth to be discovered. Vesta is a sister of Jupiter, the virgin goddess. Vesta is the keeper of the hearth. She is focus and dedication. She is mental clarity and self-respect.
Vesta brings out your purest potential and Essence into being. Vesta is organized and perfect. She has a talent for breaking things down into its components. She rules the metabolism and the upper intestine. She carries influence over locks and keys, sisters, security, investments, insurance, and inheritance. She is the epitome of the home and family, ritual, chastity and sexuality, and devotion.
Her negative aspects include insecurity, lack of focus, promiscuity, segregation, secret societies and family troubles. There may be a fear of sex or intimacy, as well as an invalidation of self. Denial can be a big aspect when she is negative.
Chiron: The Wounded Healer. Closely associated with Ophiuchus, as this was his student. from http://www.cafeastrology.com/chiron.html “is a comet with a unique and erratic orbit. In the natal chart, Chiron is symbolized by the “wounded healer”. It represents our deepest wound, and our efforts to heal the wound. Chiron was named after the centaur in Greek mythology who was a healer and teacher who, ironically, could not heal himself.
Chiron in our natal charts points to where we have healing powers as the result of our own deep spiritual wounds. We may over-compensate in these areas of life. Chiron, as a wounded healer, first must face issues of low self-worth and feelings of inadequacy and learn to rise above these issues. Because the wound goes deep, and we may work hard to overcome the wound, healing powers are potent.“ http://www.alwaysastrology.com/asteroids.html
Chiron deals with all aspects of health and disease and how they affect our spiritual path.
Chiron in our charts shows where we are on a quest for healing and wholeness. As we follow that quest, we find how we can serve particular others in their own quest for well-being. M. Kelley Hunter
Chiron was wounded himself, and despite his great skills, he never healed. He symbolizes everyone who finds their strength through their suffering. Everyone gets wounded in some manner. Whatever our wounds are, Chiron influences us to overcome our condition and go on. Like Chiron, we may find that in healing others we gain some insight and salvation even though we are unable to fully heal ourselves.
Chiron has an unusual orbit, rather like Pluto. Many astrologers think of Chiron as a “mediator” between Uranus and Saturn. Chiron gives wisdom and patience as well as mastery over the darkness of our souls. Our wounds are gifts when looked at from a different angle. They give us character, lessons in life and perseverance. Chiron teaches us these things whether we are ready to learn them or not. Chiron is the Key…..
