Harness your Inner Fire and watch your Vision manifest!

Are you enjoying this cosmic summer? Since May we’ve had an incredible array of energies streaming into the planet in the form of full moons, eclipses, convergences, and even a grand planetary alignment! This sort of thing does not happen often, so when it does, it’s a good time to take advantage of what is being offered. Now is a time of incredible transformation, and you can work with this energy to bring about changes in your own life, as well as the manifestation of your visions and dreams.
July is filled to the brim with this energy, as the effects of the recent planetary alignment will be felt until early August. The nine planets (Pluto is still a planet, as far as The Astrarium is concerned) form a cross shape around the sun, with our moon blocking the energies of the Sun and all the other planets. This alignment hit its centerpoint on June 26th with a Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse, and will culminate on July 11th with the Solar Eclipse. See the diagram for a visual representation, or visit the Planetary Alignment article for more detailed information.
Since this article is about July, we’ll be focusing on the tail end of the alignment, as well as what comes after it. Indeed, you are probably already feeling the effects of the June 26 Full Moon. It was a period of transition, of releasing the old and bringing in the new. Energies were anchored that day that will be in great use from now until December 21st, 2012 and beyond. This alignment will build in energy before reaching its climax on July 11. At that point, the Solar Eclipse will block a great deal of celestial energy from the Earth, marking a point of rapid change, growth, and transformation. If there is anything you wish to leave behind at this time, set your intentions on that day!
Also worth mentioning is that the Summer Solstice on June 21st brought us into the sign of Cancer. This will last until July 22nd. Cancer, ruled by the moon, brings us deep into the emotional waters. It is likely that the Solstice of 6/21, the Full Moon of 6/26, the Solar Eclipse of 7/11, and further dates of importance in July will also include great emotional transformation. This may be rather difficult, but can be eased if you let go of your attachment to outcomes. Try to let the emotional waters wash over you, rather than drown you in a sea of old hurts and feelings. Flow down the river instead of trying to fight the current.
When the Earth comes out of this momentary eclipse, it will be entering into new energies entirely. Think about it. What energies, patterns, and beliefs would you like to leave behind, and which would you like to enter into on a whole new level? Start thinking about this now and perhaps hold a small ritual gathering or create sacred space in your home that evening to set your intentions and enter into your new reality. It is a wonderful time to consciously work with the energies being offered.
We anticipate the destabilization of “the world as we know it” will only continue and intensify over the coming months. This release of energy and download of new patterns is here specifically to facilitate this time of transition at a higher frequency. 2010 has been about the preparation for this transition, and 2011 will find us in a world rapidly falling apart. Do not fear, however. If you are reading this, you are one of the conscious ones who will be facilitating the transition. It is time for you to focus on offering your true talents to the world, to help in any way you can during this time. Simply focusing on your passions, taking up opportunities that are offered, and following the flow of Life will bring you right where you need to be. We are needed to facilitate the building up of the New Earth that is already underway, and there’s no doubt your individual talents will be put to good use. Early July is a great time to begin making these plans or solidifying them, and later in the month you’ll find new opportunities arising as your dreams begin coming to fruition. More on that however, in just a moment.
Next we must discuss a most exciting event also taking place this July, on the 17th into the 18th. This is the Conscious Convergence, which marks the preparatory stage of the Ninth Wave discussed by the Mayan Calendar. According to Carl Johan Calleman, Ph.D., a celebrated Mayan Calendar scholar, the evolution of our Universe and indeed our collective consciousness is affected by a series of nine waves. These waves increase in frequency as they decrease in their length of time. This ninth and final wave officially begins on March 9th, 2011. The time between July 17/18th and March 9th will be a period in which we must work to find alignment with the new Unity Consciousness that will be available at that time.

As you can see from the diagram, the Nine Waves increase in magnitude and frequency, beginning from individual cells and expanding to encompass the entire cosmos. These waves correspond perfectly with the Nine Rites of the Munay-Ki, a Q’ero Peruvian Shamanic tradition we’ll be expounding upon in future posts and content. As we continue evolving as a collective, we begin to embody Unity Consciousness.
Unity Consciousness. Sounds wonderful right? Indeed it is, but it won’t happen by default. We must consciously enter into that new space, accepting the new energy and working with it in order to bring it into our lives. This period between July 2010 and March 2011 is about stepping into our roles as Co-Creators and as facilitators of these changes. It is time for us to step up to the plate and declare our willingness to make this transition happen. Like the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, those energies were anchored consciously by a large group of individuals dedicated to bringing the new light to Earth at that time. We are the ones who will continue that work by anchoring Unity Consciousness into the planet.
It may be difficult to understand how these ancient prophecies and calendars have anything to do with your life at this time. We’re not here to convince you of the truth of this, only to offer relevant information for those interested. However, we can say that the celestial bodies and energies out there in the Universe do have a profound effect on our subtle energies, which manifest in our personal lives. This is why astronomy and astrology were so important to the ancients, and why they were able to predict these changes many centuries into the future. It is all written in the stars, if we only knew how to decode the information!

If you look around during this time, there should be no doubt in your mind that now is a time of transformation. Our society as it exists today simply cannot sustain itself much longer. It is up to conscious individuals around the world to facilitate this transition from the old into the new, and one of the ways we’ll do this is by facilitating this new Unity Consciousness, as well as stepping into our roles and offering our unique gifts to the collective. There are many ways to help out during this time. Even holding the intention and being a vessel of light will do wonders for yourself and those around you. You may find new opportunities and ways of serving that you’ve never thought of before. Now is a time where new ideas are sorely needed, and only YOU can offer your unique talent to the world. Something to think about as we continue moving into these exciting new times.
So yes, this Ninth Wave is indeed a big deal. It is no coincidence that this is happening alongside the planetary alignment, eclipses, and the rapid destabilization of our current society. It is no coincidence that these events precede December 21st, 2012 and indeed lead up to that date. It is no coincidence that individuals all around the world have reported feeling incredible changes in their personal lives as well as in their careers, passions, and relationships. Consciously working with these energies will bring greater transformation, and will make the whole process much more smooth and easy to deal with. So it would be wise to focus on your own transformation at this time, releasing the old and making way for the new, whatever that means to you. It will affect each of us differently, but there is no doubt you’ll be affected. Doing the work consciously will save you much trouble later in the year, and especially next year.
Looking ahead, another Eclipse will take place on December 21st, 2010 (this year). This date, the Winter Solstice, essentially marks the death of this year, and the time before rebirth into a new year. As this year progresses, we’ll find more and more releases happening leading up to this date. You may look back to July and notice how much your life has changed in the last 6 months. Again, these changes will be much smoother if you consciously work with them instead of fighting against them. Release your attachments and flow with Life, it will take you exactly where you need to be. The Spring Equinox of March 2011 coincides with the time of the Ninth Wave’s activation. If you are prepared for it, this wave of Unity Consciousness will carry you through 2011 in a beautiful new space. 2011 is bound to be an intense period of destabilization. Indeed, the darkest time comes before the dawn. So do prepare now by getting yourself in alignment with the cosmos, the Earth, and with your divine Self.
But back to July, for there’s still more to discuss! By the way, if you’d like to read more detailed information about the Conscious Convergence, click here for Calleman’s Ninth Wave article.
Astrologically, July 23rd marks the beginning of the sign of Leo, lasting until August 22nd. Still affected by the planetary alignment and the pre-ninth-wave, this will be a very powerful time indeed. Leo is ruled by the sun and embodies such attributes as fire, personal power, will, service, passion, and manifestation. The solar plexus chakra in the body, represented by fire and the color yellow, embodies this energy as well. It is all about the manifestation of the divine YOU, who you are and the talents you brought with you onto the Earth plane. That which you love to do and that which most helps the collective. So as we’ve been discussing for many months now, July and this summer in general is a wonderful time to start bringing that energy out into the world.
The world needs what you have to offer. You wouldn’t be here without your unique talent! Now the time is ripe to begin offering these gifts, and the new waves of energy will carry your plans through to fruition.
As we’ve been saying, use early to mid July as a time to start setting your intentions. On July 11th, make your broadcast to the Universe sharp and clear. Know what you want and begin stepping into that new space. Mid July, the Conscious Convergence, will find you releasing still more patterns, beliefs and ways of Life. All of this can be used to prepare you for manifesting your new career or other plans you may have in the works.
The best time for these manifestations will be between July 23rd and August 5th. After that point, the transformational energies of the planetary alignment will begin to dissipate. That certainly does not mean transformation cannot happen afterward, though August will not be an ideal time to start new plans. It’s just something to keep in mind, if you are working to advance your vision. Keep in mind other astrological energies that may be in effect in your individual sign. Perhaps there is a particular day during this time that would work best, or days that you should avoid. While these transformational times can be incredibly helpful, they can also be rather unpredictable. Use your intuition and act when you feel guided in order to have the best result. If your plans are meant to succeed, they will do so in flying colors. If not, you’ll find the proper guidance in order to bring your plans about when the time is right. Remember that all things are divine, and you need not worry and strain to manifest your soul’s vision. It is already there, a book that has already been written, and you must merely step out of the way to allow it to manifest. Do that and you’ll be delighted by the results.
In conclusion, July is indeed a transformational time, and one we can work with for wonderful results! Looking ahead, August may not be as intense, but there will be some important dates to note for sure, as the planetary alignment transitions into a new and equally rare formation, the Cardinal Cross on the 7th of the month. August will continue the transformational shifts from the summer and begin to integrate them more deeply into our daily lives and into our surrounding society, which may be even more uncomfortable, yet not nearly as fast-paced. At the very least, things will begin to settle down in our own lives, even as events in the outside world begin happening at a greater pace and in increasing intensity. But more about that in August.
As always, we thank you for joining us at this time, and for consciously stepping into your new roles as co-creators. We wish you the best of luck and a smooth transition through this very intense period of 2010.
In love and light,
