Heavenly
Signs of Summer 2007
Watching & Waiting
By Steve Santini
Psalm 19:1-6
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
June 17: On this first day of the Hebrew Month of Tammuz, the crescent moon, Venus, Saturn and the bright star Regulus lined up on the celestial ecliptic stretching from the sign of Cancer unto the next sign of Leo. This appeared on the western horizon just after sunset. (skymap) Likewise, on the 18th of June the moon occulted Venus and in the evening of the 19th the moon occulted Saturn and on the 20th the moon was within .52 degrees of Regulus. Then on the 21st of June summer officially began with the solstice as the sun was in Cancer.
July 1: Venus and Saturn conjunct in the sign of Leo during the full moon on the middle day of the Hebrew month of Tammuz in the western sky over the sign of Cancer just after sunset. The ancient sign of Leo represents the lion coming vehemently to separate by fire. (Leo) Saturn represents the promised rest to God’s people while Venus represents the glorified bride of Christ. Tammuz is the month in which Moses sent the twelve spies into their “promised land” of Israel. Of the twelve spies Joshua and Caleb saw a land flowing with “milk and honey” while the other ten saw a fearful land filled with powerful inhabitants. As a result of the majority report and the belief of those that accepted it, the children of Israel wandered an additional 40 years in the wilderness until all the adults who lacked faith in Joshua and Caleb’s report had died. The tribe that represents the month of Tammuz is Reuben. The Hebrew root word for Reuben means “to see a son.” Tammuz is also represented by the Hebrew letter Daleth which means “a door.” (skymap)
July 5: As Mars passed through the sign of Aires on its way to Taurus it was engulfed in a dust storm cutting sunlight on the surface down to 1 percent of normal by July 24.
July 16: On the first day of the Hebrew month of Av, the crescent moon, the bright star Regulus of the sign of Leo, Venus and Saturn massed together on Jerusalem’s western horizon just after sunset. Regulus means “treading under foot.” According to Hebrew tradition, the month of Av is represented by the zodiacal sign of Leo in which the star Regulus resides.
July 24: Both the first and the second temple on the holy mount in Jerusalem, in the respective years, were destroyed on this the 9th day of the Hebrew month of Av according to religious tradition. Jupiter, the king of righteousness, the bright star, Antares and the moon closely triangulate in the southern night sky. (skymap)
July 30: The full moon in the middle of the Hebrew month of Av. This date is the final time, of nine times per year, that wood was gathered for donation to the Hebrew Temple and accordingly, on this last gathering, the wood was to be in used for the fires to burn the highly significant sacrifices during the month Tishri. It celebrates the day that a remnant of the tribe of Benjamin, collectively, choose wives from the virgins of Shiloh who had come to dance as a part of the day’s festivities. Since that time this particular day has traditionally been celebrated in Hebrew culture as the Feast of Wood Gathering. (Judges 19-21)
August 3: SpaceWeather.com announces the rare dramatic changes that have been taking place in Jupiter’s atmosphere. (Hubble Images)
August 6: Jupiter, in retrograde motion, stops in the raised left foot of Ophiuchus poised 1 degree over the malevolent star of Antares in the sign of Scorpio. Jupiter then resumes its forward motion between the feet of Ophiuchus. On November 1, 2007 it will cross back over the right foot of Ophiuchus in which it had stopped and then reversed its forward motion during Passover in the spring of 2007. (A Heavenly Sign For Passover 2007)
August 7: The UN Meteorological Organization announces that 2007 has already contained more severe weather events than any time since their earliest records in 1851.
August 8: Endeavor astronauts are schedule for lift-off in their journey to the International Space Station
August 9-10: Comet C/2006 VZ13 , which had a rare red tail and green center. In early July it was just beyond naked eye visibility. After bisecting Draco at it passed between the Little and Big Dipper, it will be beyond current naked eye visibility in the center of Virgo on this evening of August on the western horizon.
August 12-13: The annual Perseid meteor shower is expected to be exceptional this year. The moon will be almost dark giving viewers an excellent chance to view 60 to 100 meteors per hour. The radiant from which the meteors appear will be in the sign of Perseus. Perseus, according to ancient mythology, broke the bands of the feminine chained Andromeda and carried her home for marriage.
August 12: Those scientists that propound an electric universe and more specifically a capacitance field between the sun and the outer edges of the solar system have said it appears that the earth will enter the Annual August Return Current around this date. This year the current could be more powerful than normal due to the high number of recurrent solar coronal holes that have been spewing charged plasma to the outer edges of the solar system during the last year. In addition, at this time the earth and sun begin to align with the Moon, Venus, Saturn, Mercury and Neptune to provide a more powerful electromagnetic conduit between the outer edges of the solar system and the sun for this year’s current.

August 14: The Hebrew month of Av ends and the Hebrew month of Elul begins. The Hebrew tribal name representing the month of Elul is Gad. Gad means “good fortune.” In the biblical book of Genesis, Moses prophesied that Gad “will overcome in the end.” The month of Elul is also represented by the zodiacal sign of Virgo. The sign of Virgo represents the woman (Holy Spirit) harvesting both the barley and wheat. (masculine and feminine-figuratively the YX chromosome of the man child brought forth in a day as prophesied by Isaiah) It is considered a month of repentance in preparation for the month of Tishri, which begins with the Day of Trumpets and is followed, in order during the month, by the Day of Atonement, the seven day Feast of Tabernacles and the “Great Day” or “Octave.”
August 15: In the daylight hours, crescent moon, Venus, Saturn, and Mercury mass closest together around the bright star Regulus in the sign of Leo at sunset in the western skies of Jerusalem. As such they are aligned with the earth and sun in their orbits as a probable electromagnetic conduit for the Annual August Return Current. On this first day of Hebrew month of Elul, just after sunset, Jupiter is visible above the crescent moon, in Jerusalem’s western night sky. As Jupiter sets in the sign of Ophiuchus about 11:30 pm in the west, Mars rises in the sign of Taurus in the eastern night sky.
August 24: Venus, in retrograde motion, crosses the Leo/Cancer boundary for the second of three times between 6/25/07 and 9/21/07.
August 28: Full Lunar Eclipse. 2007 is a year in which there are two full lunar eclipses Two full lunar eclipses in a year occur about three times per decade. In this second full lunar eclipse of the year, the earth will eclipse the full moon in the center of the Hebrew month of Elul. This second full eclipse will not be visible in its entirety to the large majority of the world’s population since the complete eclipse will occur over the central Pacific Ocean. During this eclipse the sun will be in Leo and the moon in the sign of Pisces. The first full lunar eclipse of this year, on March 3rd , was visible , in antithesis, in full or partially, to the vast majority of the world’s population when the other side of the earth in central Africa was facing the completely eclipsed full moon. At that time the sun was in Aquarius and the full moon in Leo very close to the bright star Regulus. It seems interesting that the first full lunar eclipse this year was one month before the first day the important Feast of Unleavened Bread while the second full lunar eclipse will be, to the day, one full Hebrew month before the commencement of the Feast of Tabernacles. The Feast of Unleavened Bread began on the first day of the Hebrew religious new year while The Feast of Tabernacles began on the first day of the royal or civil new year.
September 13: The Day of Trumpets introducing the month of Tishri celebrating the commencement of the new royal year. It was the day on which kings were crowned and, as some have written persuasively, on which Jesus Christ was born. Celestial configurations around the star Regulus in the sign of Leo were among the signs that preceded the birth of Jesus Christ. Christians of Hebrew descent write that this day’s blowing of trumpets represents the beginning of a wedding feast for those separated and freed by faith.(Tishri)

On the first day of Elul, Moses ascended the mount that burned with fire for the second and final forty day time period during the year following the exodus from Egypt. It was on this mount in the glory of the Lord that Moses ascertained the design of the tabernacle from the heavenly pattern shown to him. He descended the mount on what has become The Day of Atonement. Because his face shown so brightly that the children of Israel could not look upon him, he placed a veil over his face. (II Corinthians 3:6-18) In this time frame he introduced the need for donated materials for the construction of the tabernacle. The children of Israel then donated abundantly. (Exodus 34) Then on the 15th of Tishri the Hebrews began their first celebration of the resplendently illuminated Feast of Tabernacles.
From the above celestial events there are some interesting correlations with biblical events as noted. There are also some interesting correlations with Egyptology. Spiritually the significance of Egypt cannot be dismissed. The Bible states that Jesus was called out of Egypt. It states that Moses was learned in all the ways of the Egyptians. It is well known from the biblical record that Abraham and Sarah spent time in Egypt, that Joseph became the administrator of Egypt and that the children of Israel spent 400 years in Egypt. Isaiah prophesied that in the future there would be a pillar and altar to the Lord in Egypt. He also said that Egypt would be healed of its accumulated deceit to become a third part with Assyria and Israel. (Isaiah 19)
The most common dating for the construction of the Great Pyramid and Sphinx of Egypt is in the early to mid third millennium during the first and founding dynasty. This dating would place the construction in a time closely after the Flood of Noah. The early descendants of Noah had lives that spanned hundreds of years. Noah himself lived for six hundred years before the flood and over three hundred years after the flood with his descendants. Noah brought forth ancient wisdom from the former world in which he had lived. Noah had been a great grandson of Enoch in that former world. This one quote of Enoch survives today in the bible, “The Lord cometh with (after) ten thousand of his saints.”
From this it would be well considered that the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx were meant to transfer an ancient knowledge of what and when. The Great Pyramid would answer the question of “what?” and the Sphinx of “when?” Simply stated, the king’s chamber in the great pyramid represents the saints who are symbolically masculine while the queen’s chamber represents the faithful in Christ Jesus who are symbolically feminine. These two chambers are joined by a descending passageway that is plugged, at its exit, by a unique block of red granite.
There are several places in the bible that reveal at the end of this age and in transition unto the next age that a “man child” is to be brought forth. Genetically, a man child is composed of the combination of the Y and X chromosome while the female child is composed of two X chromosomes. So, in the Great Pyramid, the King’s chamber represents the Y chromosome. The Queens chamber represents the X chromosome. Where the descending passageway from the king’s chamber meets the short passageway from the queen’s chamber, a man child is formed.(Y & X) The plug of red granite at the lower end of the descending passageway is comparatively symbolic to the plug in the uterine passageway of a pregnant woman. When the plug is expelled labor or travail begins. So quite simply the great pyramid represents a pregnant woman about to bring forth a man child. This is a collective figure in that the masculine saints and the feminine faithful in Christ Jesus, here represented, are each numerous.
In regards to the great pyramid and this summer’s celestial signs the sphinx becomes interesting as a possible indicator of the time that this man child is to be brought forth. First, the sphinx is a colossal statue with the body of a lion and the head of a woman. Many teachers and students of Egyptology agree that the sphinx is a representation of the sign of Leo and the sign of Virgo. From the ancient sign and star names of these two signs it can be interpreted that sign of Leo represents the regal separating lion and the sign of Virgo represents the woman bringing forth the fruits of heaven and earth since her right hand is holding barley stalks representing the masculine with their roots pointed upwards and her left hand is holding wheat stalks representing the feminine with their roots pointed downwards. As a confirmation, Coma, one of the three decans of Virgo, is represented by a woman holding an infant on her lap. Star names in the decan have ancient meanings of “the desired”, “the united” and “the twins.” The area between the forepaws of the sphinx were considered sacred. Just beyond the forepaws of the sphinx this summer’s signs seem to become most interesting. The Egyptian scripture entitled, “The Book of Coming Forth by Day” or more commonly known as “The Book of the Dead” focuses on the Leo/Cancer boundary. This summer’s signs from the above listing include nine celestial events that uniquely occur between the sign of Leo and the sign of Cancer.
