LightShift 2000 August 11th Eclipse Meditation Update
Dear Friends,
This is Ken Kalb
LightShift 2000
http://www.lightshift.com
This massive convergence of Spirit for the Total Solar Eclipse is a
vision come manifest for me. For the grand cross at the four fixed-sign
gates of avataric descent are the four points of maximum focus of cosmic
energy -- beckoning our active participation. I am ecstatic that so many
have become aware of this August 11th flashpoint and thrilled there are
gatherings all over this planet. I honor and congratule all who will be
joining in radiance and collective attunement during this sacred
marriage of Sun and Moon in the sign of the Heart. I believe this will
be the largest intentional convergence of Spirit yet in the history of
humankind. Our passionate prayer and radiant love amplified by the
potency of this historic birthing point is certain to boost the
vibrational frequency in the unified field of consciousness, and
positively boost the Earth's evolution and destiny.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "friendship can be considered to be the
masterpiece of nature." August 11th is a time to honor Spirit and
celebrate friendship and the transformative power of pure joy. We now
have the occasion to know we are one global humanity: each of us radiant
cells in the diverse and glorious collective Being with One Radiant Soul
at our center.
The Grand Planetary Alignment on May 3, 2000 is closely centered in the
Taurean or manifesting avataric gateway. LightShift -- January 1, 2000
-- is at the mid or release point of August 11 and May 3rd. I believe
our mobilization toward Unity in Spirit during each of these flashpoints
is part of the divine plan which will raise the light quotient on Earth
to birth the new dispensation in the sweetest and brightest light.
We have posted eclipse and meditation times for most localities at the
bottom of "The Eclipse of the Millennium" article in the Vital
Information website on the LightShift 2000 website, as well as new time
zone conversion resources at:

Please select the link which is appropriate.
I have also posted a few inspirational invocations which I feel most
appropriate for this convergence at:

There is also a collection of wonderful prayers, meditation techniques,
and affirmations you may find useful in the "Meditations" section on the
LightShift 2000 website:

Blessings to all who have put so much love and energy into this convergence.
We merge together now with Mother Earth in our moment of collective
birth of the Aquarian Christ. From cell to soul we are all awakening to
our greater Self. Our Will to Good is the key to Earth becoming a Sacred
Planet through our self-initiated mobilization. May the beauty in our
hearts, the brilliance of our minds, and the divinity of our spirits
greet the new dawn.
In loving service,

Let's Turn on the Light of the World
Cosmic Connection and Conception -
The August 11th Grand Cross and Solar Eclipse
by Rev.HJ Grapes <earthspirit@earthling.net>
Grand Crosses usually represent an area of challenge and stress; it is also
an area of energy. In the case of the August 1999 Grand Crosses, all of the
planets are in FIXED Signs - Eight out of ten planets form oppositions and
squares to Sun and Moon. Oppositions and Squares cause conflicts to surface.
The only planet not related to the Crosses themselves is Pluto - the planet
of death, rebirth and transformation. Interestingly enough, in the next
"big" alignment of May 2000 (where these same 8 planets will align one
behind the other behind the Sun), the only planets to be on "this side of
the Sun" will be Earth and Pluto beckoning our "rebirth and transformation "
- but we'll leave that for another article !
FIXED SIGNS here are stressing that Humanity is being impressed to
understand the Law of karma - to take stock in our evolvement and to
fulfill our destiny by teaching others; to proceed with the agonies
involved with cleansing the "ego-oriented" mind; and to have faith in our
ability to overcome all obstacles and difficulties.
In esoteric astrology, Alice Bailey described the Fixed Cross as "a
transition in consciousness and an initiation of the Soul by the Fires of God."
The placement of the Grand Cross in FIXED signs suggests a time of
"Spiritual reconfiguring" and preparation for a "quantum leap" in evolution
and consciousness.
The Cross is not just a symbol for Christianity and predates the religious
associations often assumed with it.
The Cross, in its most basic and universal meaning, is a horizontal line
(representing Matter/Form) penetrated by a vertical line (representing
Spirit/Energy). Here is the ultimate interpretation of Divine Man -
the co-joining and manifestation of Spirit and Matter, Energy and Form
as ONE.
The link point in this August's Grand Cross alignment is Earth and
Humanity, Third Dimensional density and any other embodiments of the
tension and joining of Matter and Spirit. All of earth will be "crucified'
and impressed with our need to join our Physical Self to our
Spiritual Self in the coming times.
The August 1999 Grand Cross involves these 4 signs :
TAURUS - The Bull
LEO - The Lion
SCORPIO- The Scorpion
AQUARIUS -The Water Bearer
Alchemically, the progression of Bull- Lion- Eagle-Water Bearer
symbolizes the Soul's evolution from :
brute force to intelligent force to spiritual force to life force
(The eagle is sublimated as the Scorpion).
In the west, the best known associations of the FIXED signs are the
4 beasts of Ezekiel, the 4 Christian Gospel writers, the 4 symbols in the
corners of the Wheel of Fortune Tarot card; and can also be related to
Osiris, Set, Horus and Isis.
Each of us will "know" the areas of our personal life to be affected by
finding the House placements that Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius hold
within one's Natal chart. These are the areas of Life that either have not
been addressed or will become an area of focus. But all of us will be
affected by what is mentioned below, as this is a global alignment and not
just a personal one.
Here is a synopsis of the planetary and astrological influences:
TAURUS - 2nd Sign - EARTH ELEMENT
MATTER AND POSSESSIONS-
Productivity - Determined Practicality
In the House where Taurus rules is where you need to be productive and
where to see the actual results of productivity
Positive Traits are : Perseverance and Reliability
Negative Traits are: Possessiveness and Stubbornness
Need to Learn : Detachment
SATURN IN TAURUS
Saturn refers to restraint, discipline, and security.
Saturn is the Lord of Karma - you reap what you sow,
Taurus demands adhering to traditional values. Discipline, patience, and
hard work to be at peace in practical affairs is highlighted as well as
adhering steadfast to ones principles and a need for emotional security
Excessive materialism will be addressed !
Here Saturn relates to our difficulty in rising above the physical nature -
individuality (as opposed to the whole) is has been the way (until now!)
To purify one's motives and redirect one's self from a physical ends to a
spiritual one - is now the Way
Selfishness to Selflessness is the key.
LEO- 5th Sign - FIRE ELEMENT
THE SELF-
Start of Evolution of Consciousness
Self-Expression - Persistent Enthusiasm
In the house where Leo rules is where you feel a need for 'personal
development". When using the positive energy of this House, you will feel a
deep sense of inner peace and contentment.
Positive Traits are : Ambition and Optimism
Negative Traits are: Intolerance and Inflexibility
Need to Learn : Humility
SUN IN LEO
Vitality, power and authority, new fields of action and opportunity open
at a time when it seems there is no visible solution, the Sun infiltrates
the darkest shadow. Pride and confidence plus self-criticism are the keywords
to Leo. Here we see an indication that this Life is one prepared for a
major expansion of consciousness - an "occult initiation" of the Highest
order.
MOON IN LEO
Past achievements and efforts are indicated by Moon in Leo, Here we
are shown that we should be now turning our attention toward work and
development of a higher nature - indicates that this new level of evolution
has already begun, but can be a limiting factor if allowed or not embraced.
The Sun is our "outer self" and the Moon is our "inner self" as the two
come together as One within the heavens and beckon us to do the same.
The Sun and Moon represent The Heavenly Father and
The Heavenly Mother, with The Child as the Earth It is these three
that play out within the Solar Eclipse.
As one "covers" the other, an Immaculate and Divine Conception is taking
place - within the Cosmos and within ourselves (see below)
SCORPIO- 8th Sign - WATER ELEMENT
THE SOUL
Deep Involvement- Determined Feelings and/or Emotions
In the House where Scorpio rules is where there is an emotional need for
intense involvement and secrecy in order to fulfill subconscious needs of
self and of others. You will have an intense approach to the affairs of
this House.
Positive Traits are : Efficient and Ambitious
Negative Traits are : Possessive and Resentful
Need to Learn : Forgiveness
SCORPIO represents the most critical phase in a person's development.
It is the ability to act as your own Soul. It is a period of testing and a
sign of transition. Transition from the Personal to the Universal, from the
material world to the spiritual realm of the Soul. It's the 'final" phase
of the journey that began in Leo. Here the individual is prompted to perfect
one's self for preparation for integration into the ONE.
SCORPIO brings us the to the point of decision and choice and
does have pressures associated with CHOICE.
MARS IN SCORPIO Powerful emotions and intensity; can mean
the greatest heights of spiritual achievement or the lowest levels of moral
depravity - depending on how its energy is utilized. Makes your
Physical Life a reflection of the spiritual battleground in which you face
SCORPIO's trials. There is a need to purge one's physical body and
consciousness from all bonds to materiality - the greater the success,
the higher the next evolutionary step.
Resourcefulness, courage, energy and fearlessness of death are available
through this placement. Coarseness and bluntness, intense anger and
resentment are also negatively featured. Holding grudges is a negative
trait indicated by this placement.
Mars opposes Saturn for third and final time this year.
Causes a lot of stop-and-go or stalled energy.
Mars charges ahead.
AQUARIUS-11th Sign - AIR ELEMENT
UNION WITH THE ONE
Reforming - Determined Intellect - Group Consciousness
In the House where Aquarius rules is where you need to obtain
new knowledge to break down the old ideas from the past lifetime(s).
Cooperation, brotherhood and universality are the keys as is the
reconciliation of opposites.
Aquarius wants to usher in the new.
Positive Traits are : Original and Intuitive
Negative Traits are : Rebellion and Detachment
Need to Learn: Warmth
URANUS IN AQUARIUS -
Here Uranus is in its "own sign" and very powerful Since Uranus
rules Aquarius, this sign is committed to social and planetary reform.
Uranus demands change and craves freedom and becomes a
strong impetus for forward movement and evolution.
Uranus breaks attachments to what is familiar and secure -
"Breaking down the old walls of Humanity"
Uranus in Aquarius IS the Child of the New Age
Here is the greatest impetus for the opening of intuitive insight.
Spiritual energies, scientific and inventive talents,
strong will and mental independence are highlighted; as well as service
and good will towards Humanity.
JUPITER IN AQUARIUS-
Here the "ideal" of no social class, racial or religious limitations is
strongly highlighted. Impartiality and universality are highlighted and
impressed. Great spirituality and tolerance is available through this
placement as well as respect and cooperation for Right Relations.
Higher Wisdom and Philosophy is accentuated.
Sun and Moon oppose Uranus showing that the "anything can happen" vibration
of Uranus opposes the " old view" of Mother/Father -
Inner/Outer Self - the cosmos can only reflect where Humanity
stands on these issues as we are all beckoned to choose our Path wisely.
Saturn and Uranus also form a pair of opposing factors,
again highlighting the "old versus the new"
There is tension here between tradition and innovation -
between "ONCE WAS' and what "CAN BE".
Business, family, community and global issues are affected.
Saturn in Taurus and Uranus in Aquarius accentuate and agitate c
onflict in these areas - if allowed to be.
So here we all have a "golden opportunity" through these Divine Planetary
placements to address ourselves on our physical embodiment and possessions
Within our 3D world (Taurus) - to then see "who we are" and how we present
ourselves to ourselves and to others (Leo) to then going deeper
within to the Soul Level and bringing forth that Higher Wisdom through
the merging of our Lower and Higher Selves (Scorpio) to then manifesting
it back into our World through Unity, Brotherhood and Universality
based on Higher Love and Learning (Aquarius).
So, how will this affect you?
For many there may be a few areas of agitation or distress
within you that need "clearing" or addressing.
As Spirit descends within Humanity - it cannot do so in an "impure"
Body and so we are being more than impressed through Cosmic
means to do a little "housecleaning" within our world and ourselves.
As each of these 4 corner-posts of the Grand Cross relate to the
4 elements (Earth, Fire, Water Air) and to the 4 Bodies
(Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual) we can't help but be
"touched" by these vibratory alignments in all areas of our Lives.
So truly have the Heavens orchestrated yet another "Cosmic symphony"
for us in showing our need to go from a Physical to Mental to
Emotional to Spiritual cleansing, clearing and progression, if we
wish to remain within Universal Law and Life upon the planet.
COSMIC CONCEPTION
As the Solar Eclipse passes by some 88 countries and billions of
people on August 11th, a Divine Seed of Love and Life will be
"conceived" within each of us Through The Heavenly Father (Sun)
and The Heavenly Mother (Moon) - an impetus to allow the growth,
development and birth of the "New Humanity" within us.
This "term period" is the time between the Solar Eclipse/Grand Cross
to the next "big" alignment of May 2000 - the exact number of days of a
Human gestation period ! (And no, you guys won't get a big belly !!!
*smile* )
To help aid us further in our transformation is Comet Lee -
a real 'wildcard" in this lineup - coming as a Divine Messenger to help
"turn the clock" on our cellular DNA to aid in our transfiguration and
eminent "re-birth" into The New Heaven and New Earth.
And to give one a little excitement and joy during the whole affair is the
Perseid Meteor showers - to shed some light upon the issues !
What more could you ask for !
Each moment, each happening, each person we meet, each day we face is a
CHOICE - and there are only 2 choices we can really make - either to choose
LOVE or choose against LOVE - the choice is yours.
As you go through the days and weeks ahead - remember what has been 'shown'
to you. And if you see your Human Brothers and Sisters displaying the
'release" of that which holds them back and the chaos associated with that
release - do not judge - Not all of us are graced with the fore-knowledge
of what is upon us and how to go through it. Bless them and pray that
"They may come to the Love and Light of Understanding
of their own lives and situations".
For we are but all individual Cells within the Body of Man,
and as we help others to Heal... we, too H.E.A.L.
( H.E.A.L. = Help Earth Allow Love
= Heaven Earth Are Light
=Humans Emanate Allmighty Light
= Heaven's Extraordinary Allpowerful Law
...any more ya can think of ??? )
I hope that I have 'shed some Light" on this great Cosmic Connection
and helped you to 'see" the areas of Life that you may wish to address
( before the Universe addresses them for you !)
The God in Me recognizes the God in You !
May Peace guide Your Way,
Holly Grapes

http://www.1spirit.com/alunajoy.com
It is the last days of the millennium. It is no wonder that the media is
filled with all kinds of predictions, some wonderful and others downright
scary. Many have been waiting for the Summer of 99's events and the end of
the millennium with great anticipation and others with great fear. We are
waiting for the great shift in human consciousness and shifts of the ages in
Mother Earth. Many are expecting that this will be activated by several
great cosmic alignments (grand crosses), the last solar eclipse of the
millennium (August 11), ancient Aztec (August 13) and Hopi prophecies (mid
July), the completion of calendars, the approaching Comet Lee and increasing
solar storms. Many are watching the intensified weather patterns and earth
changes, while others are watching the news for signals of changes in
current events. Others yet are watching their bodies for signs of changing
frequencies. So we wait, holding our breath, preparing for the coming events
in a way that fits our percept ion and picture of the future. We can feel
the huge wave building. We can feel the calm before the shift. Some are
preparing for Heaven on Earth and others are preparing for armageddon.
Either way, we are working very hard and preparing with great dedication for
what?... the FUTURE!
How many events, cosmic and otherwise have we prepared for since the
harmonic convergence, now 13 years in history? How many of these major predi
cted events have we actually seen come to pass. Be honest now. The prophetic
dates come and go. over and over. and the disappointment and disillusionment
that the Earth didn't ascend or that we did not fully embody Christ
conscious dulls and jades our enthusiasm for the spiritual path. We blame
the prophets for not being clear or call them fakes! We blame ourselves for
being gullible fluffy new agers that bought into all those impossible, but
wonderfully exciting predications. Let's face it. If you work diligently for
a projected future outcome and they never materialize, we eventually loose
interest in doing the work.
A good percentage of the prophets are telling the truth! These cosmic
alignments, calendars and ancient prophesies have GREAT POTENTIAL to shift
our consciousness and the Earth. The energy and the intent is written in the
cosmos. But three obvious things keep us from realizing these wonderful
shifts into the nirvana states that we dream. 1. We still see these events
as future events. 2. We have some doubt based on past disillusions. 3. Fear
of the future and the unknown.
The universe rearranges itself according to our vision of reality. If we are
always preparing for the future, we will always be preparing and waiting..
preparing and waiting. While we are in preparing mode we actually push
desired events away from us! The universe does not give us what we think or
dream we want, it gives us exactly what we are taking action on. The
universe reacts to ACTION, not desires! So as we prepare, the universe sees
our act of preparation, thus giving us more to prepare for. The trick is
being able to see and know what is coming down the road of life while being
oriented in the present moment! This is true Shamanism and is just where the
Masters, The Star Elders and Angelic realms live right now, in the NOW.
Also what we think we want, is not exactly the whole truth. The creative
force of the universe reacts, on our behalf, based on our totality. This
means the universe acts and delivers to us what is in our conscious mind, as
well as our unconscious mind. These last days of the millennium offers us a
great opportunity to dig into our unconscious and purge the limiting
programming that has been hampering our manifesting heaven on Earth. It is
time to ACT AS IF we have realized the VISION. Learn to live in the present
moment.
So let say you have mastered the first point and are acting in the moment.
When you ACT IS IF. But still have doubt that the event / ascension / shift.
will in fact take place, this sets up a self-imposed road block in the
future. It is understandable that you may have doubt because of all the
events that never manifested the desired results. Doubt is living in the past.
Doubt pushes our dreams away. We can doubt ourselves also. Sometimes we feel
that we have not worked hard enough on our spiritual path. We haven't
cleaned up our diet enough, prayed enough, forgiven enough, meditated
enough, been of service enough.. HEY, get over it! When are you going to own
the fact that in this moment ,YOU ARE everything you want to be and MORE
than you could possibility imagine. We are made in the image of God. So own
this, God does!
So now let's say we have mastered being in the moment and have erased all
doubt about ourselves and our ability to manifest the vision on Earth. Let's
act as if we are the most brilliant masterful light beings we could possibly
imagine and that everyone around us is equally brilliant! This brings us to
point 3. Oh no. FEAR of the unknown.
When we take huge steps to BEcome all that we truly are. The universe will
clean house of anything that is less than light. So before the big clean
out.. the universe will test our dedication to moving ahead by putting a
great cosmic carrot in front of our faces, tempting us to stay where we are.
After all, the universe knows we are heading into the unknown and the
unknown can be a scary place. So our old ways are re-wrapped in pretty new
perspectives to test if we are ready to leave what is safe, secure and most
of all known. It is quiet tempting. But being comfortable is not necessarily
where we need to be right now. Being comfortable means that we have walked
this road before. If we want to grow, we must step out into the unknown and
let go of the past and the fear we may have about the unknown future.
Remember fear is a giant road sign saying "This is the way to the NEW and
EXCITING EXPERIENCES" and by the way... FACING FEAR - HEALS IT!
It is true.. these last days of the millennium are powerful ones. The
predictions are thick ranging from nirvana to armageddon. But it is up to us
to choose and make changes and to create a new world. Don't wait around
another minute for the right prophecy or the right star alignment to happen
before you act on YOUR VISION. Give the power of creation back to YOU, right
where the creator wanted it in the first place. Yes. use the prophecies, the
cycles, and the stars, the sun, the moon, and the calendars to empower you
even further. Yes . use anything you need to get the job done, but don't let
them use you. You are in charge remember? The future is right here and NOW.
Quit waiting - and DO IT!

Subject: Revised Grand Cross Supplement
REVISED GRAND CROSS SUPPLEMENT (8/4/99)
This revised Supplement about the Grand Cross alignments of August 11 - 17
is designed to summarize what we know and can surmise about the Grand
Crosses as of this writing, six days before the first Grand Cross forms.
This Supplement consists of four sections:
1.) Introduction
2.) Mythic Resonance
3.) Suggested Reading
4.) Cosmic Birth: August 11, 1999 to May 5, 2000
Those who have already seen the earlier version of this piece may wish to
skip to the new material in Cosmic Birth, or go to Suggested Reading for an
updated list of recent Internet, e-mail and print articles on the Grand
Cross. The Astrology material from the original Supplement is available on
request.
1.) Introduction
The astral patterns that are in effect during the week of 8/11 to 8/17 are
called Grand Cross alignments because all but one the planets (Pluto, in
Sagittarius) will be in cross configurations, or otherwise located in the
four "fixed" signs of the zodiac: Taurus, the Bull; Leo, the Lion; Scorpio,
the Scorpion, also symbolized by the Eagle; and Aquarius the Water Bearer,
also the Water Angel.
The first Grand Cross forms on 8/11 during, but not necessarily in precise
alignment with, the Solar Eclipse that occurs on that day. This Eclipse
passes over Eurasia, and can therefore be seen by almost four billion
people. The Eclipse could be the most widely watched celestial event in
history.
While eclipses are not rare (several happen every year, though few have the
visibility of next week's) and grand crosses are not that unusual either
(some people have them in their birth charts), what is extremely unusual is
that the eclipse occurs as all but one of the planets in the solar system
is either in the Grand Cross or close to it in the fixed signs of the
wheel. This represents a very dense concentration of planetary energy
within a sacred geometric design of great significance and power.
Add to this powerful synchronicity the fact that the Eclipse and First
Grand Cross form just as the Perseid meteor shower (easily visible at the
New Moon) is about to peak -- and that a "Moon Wobble" occurring at the
same time makes the
emotional impact of these events even greater -- and we have very likely
the most intense cluster of celestial events that any of us will experience
in this lifetime, or at least until the year 2012.
The first Grand Cross is the more concentrated of the two, as five planets
and both Moon's Nodes form the Cross itself, while three other planets are
also in fixed signs.
The second Grand Cross occurs on 8/17. It consists of four planets, one at
each arm of the Cross, while four other planets and both Moon's Nodes are
also in fixed signs. It is even possible to call the 8/17 alignment is a
"Double Grand Cross", though this will be a matter of opinion.
While this second Grand Cross may be slightly less spectacular than the
first, it is a notable time marker because it occurs twelve years to the
day after the Harmonic Convergence of 1987, and 269 days (an exact human
gestation period) before the Star of Jerusalem alignment of 5/5/2000. In
this sense we can think of the Grand Cross of 8/11 as the moment of
conception; and 5/5/2000, the "Star of Jerusalem", nine months later, as
the moment of birth. The midpoint of the gestation period is 12/22/99 --
the winter solstice, which will be far more dynamic this year than it
usually is.
One way to imagine the Year to Come is that what is being hailed and feared
as the Millennium, on Jan. 1, 2000, will be more like an intermission
cartoon between the two feature films, in August '99 and May 2000, that are
the main movies, the show we're supposed to see. More on this below in
Cosmic Birth.
2.) Mythic Resonance
It is rare enough for the planets to form a Grand Cross having slow-moving
planets such as Saturn, Uranus and Neptune -- but for two Grand Crosses of
almost completely different planets (having only the Moon in common) to
form within only six days, and with all but one of the other planets in the
same signs as the Cross, is extremely unusual and portentous. The
importance of this week in August cannot be overestimated.
The attention of the world is being drawn in August to the icon of the
cross, and all that it has represented as a spiritual symbol that is far
older and more widespread than the particular religion with which it is
most associated. The Cross, in its most basic and universal meaning, is a
horizonal line representing matter penetrated by a vertical line
representing spirit. The two lines are the most fundamental expression of
duality. The nexus point is humanity, third density and other embodiments
of the juncture and tension of matter and spirit.
The occurrence of the Grand Cross in the fixed signs suggests a moment of
spiritual repositioning and preparing for an upward move. The four fixed
signs have long been considered best for navigation and ceremonies of
marking time and space because their relationship in the sky is
consistently easiest to see. Aldebaran in Taurus is a bright red first
magnitude star that is near the Pleiades and Orion, and is almost exactly
across the wheel from another bright red star, Antares, the heart of
Scorpio. The brilliant blue giant Regulus, the heart of Leo, and the Lion's
whole body, are easy to make out. Aquarius has no first-magnitude stars,
but is still easy to find.
As these four constellations were among the first ones to emerge from the
sky and take form and meaning in human consciousness, and were almost
certainly the first set of four sky pictures that were understood to be
interrelated at angles of 90°, the Bull, the Lion, the Scorpion or Eagle
and the Water Bearer have been associated in our collective memories with
new knowledge and the evolution into higher awareness since before we had
language, or could make anything taller than a tree to see stars from.
In the West, the best-known associations of the fixed signs are with the
four beasts of Ezekiel, the four Christian gospel writers, and the four symbols
at the corners of the Wheel of Fortune card in the Tarot. Another is with
Osiris, Set, Horus and Isis. Alchemically, the progression Bull - Lion -
Eagle (sublimated as Scorpion) and Water Angel symbolizes the soul's
evolution from brute force to intelligent force to spiritual force to life
force.
Finally, the week of the two Grand Crosses coincides with major holy days
and festivals from the ancient Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Christian, Buddhist,
Aztec, Celtic and Norse mythic traditions. See Universal Festival Calendar
for August, 1999.

CalenderSign (calendersign@vip.at) has been circulating e-mail messages
about the Star of Jerusalem since late last year.
The new Mountain Astrologer is out, with some excellent eclipse and Grand
Cross pieces.
The excited buzz that started two months ago, when it was reported that the
Illuminati were planning rituals at the Great Pyramid--including a grand
rite of replacing its pyramidon, or capstone--for 8/11 - 13, has died down
now. David Icke's website has an article by Arizona Wilder predicting
Illuminati rituals --starring such luminaries as George Bush--to be held at
the Great Pyramid in December, not next week.

Stay tuned. All possibilities, including those that seem most desperately
comic, remain in play. When the Book of God in the firmament is displaying
such signs and wonders as it does now, is additional entertainment really
necessary?
4.) Cosmic Birth: August 11, 1999 to May 5, 2000
Yes, additional entertainment is necessary, and it is coming soon. The
coming year, especially the "gestation period" that begins on 8/11, may be
the most astrally charged year that we shall experience until 2012. The key
power points for organizing mass meditations and ceremonies, and for
receiving and using very strong transmissions of planetary energy, are
these, ranked like restaurants, from one star to five:
***** 8/11/99 Eclipse and Grand Cross alignment. The day of
Conception
on which the cosmic seed is planted.
**** 8/17/99 Second Grand Cross alignment
*** 9/22/99 The Autumn Equinox, falling on the 100-day Countup Day
to the Millennium. More auspicious for beginning the
last harvest and season of reckoning in this Millennium
**** 10/22/99 The day of the Sun's transition from Libra to Scorpio
is very highly charged this year as Pluto moves into an
exact trine (120° angle) with the Moon's North Node.
This moment is invaluable for testing video and cyber
connections that will link mass gatherings in the
months to come.
**** 12/22/99 The Winter Solstice, occurring at the midpoint of the
Cosmic Birth cycle.
** 1/1/00 The Millennium: a media event based on an accident of
arithmetic. Considered in terms of its astral energy,
this "Millennium", like its brother and rival on
1/1/01, only appears to be dull or inert. It is in
fact
a vitally important rest and formation point, and need
not be riveting or entertaining. But it will be staged
with great production values anyway, and earns that
second star on snazzy colored lights and bells.
**** 1/21/00 The first total Lunar Eclipse of 2000, with the umbra
covering all of the Americas--and coming just
before the
Sun's entry into Aquarius.
*** 3/22/00 The first Spring Equinox of the Millennium
**** 4/6/00 ff "Star of the Magi": Now and for weeks to come, the same
star alignment that the Magi may have followed in 7 BC
-- Mars, Jupiter and Saturn conjunct, about 25°
east of
the Sun -- forms again. As the composite "star" is
moving "behind" the Sun, it remains bright above
the
Western horizon for more than an hour after sunset.
This heralds the grand alignment of the Spring:
***** 5/3 - 5/00 "Star of Jerusalem", with an immense concentration of
planetary energy in the sign of Taurus. The moment of
Cosmic Birth.
*** 5/28/00 "Ruler of Time": Jupiter overtakes Saturn, after an
interval of 20 years, to form the Chronocrator, "Ruler
of Time" conjunction for the first time in the new
Millennium. Activities of adjustment to the
measurement
of time are favored here.
This is it for now. Comments on and additions to this last entry are
especially welcome. This special "Birth Calendar" will be updated as
necessary.

Total Solar Eclipse on August 11, 1999
On August 11, 1999, there takes place a total solar eclipse. Also around
this time, the planets in our solar system are squaring off and forming a
"Cross" pattern around the Earth. These two celestial events happening
together signal a time of profound change, which has been the focus of
prophecy and prediction, from the "Book of Revelation" to Nostradamus to
Edgar Cayce and more.
A special series of web pages have been prepared to offer you a deeper
experience and understanding of what is happening at this time. The journey
begins here at:

Regardless of what you believe to be true, this is an important time for us
all to pray that humanity opens up its heart, releases the fear and chooses
to live together in peace, with love and respect for all.
Discovery Channel To Cover Eclipse
By DAVID BAUDER
= AP Television Writer=
NEW YORK (AP) _ The Discovery Network plans three hours of live
television coverage next Wednesday of something mom warned you
never to look at directly _ a solar eclipse.
The cable channel's cameras will follow the 60-mile wide path
where the sun is totally obscured by the moon, from its start in
southern England, through France, Germany, Austria, Hungary,
Romania to the Middle East and its conclusion in India.
It's the most extensive live coverage of any event in
Discovery's 15-year history and, the network believes, the first
time TV has followed an eclipse in such detail.
Eclipse coverage runs from 6 to 9 a.m. EDT, with an hour-long
wrapup that night at 10 p.m.
``Human beings have always been totally enthralled by
eclipses,'' said Discovery general manager Mike Quattrone, ``but if
you wanted to see an eclipse, you had to be geographically lucky.''
People shouldn't stare at the sun because there's a risk of eye
damage, but cameras can safely capture an eclipse.
Discovery will do more than beam three hours of the sun. It will
explain the science behind the eclipse and show how people in each
country react to it. The network hopes to climax its coverage with
an arresting image of the eclipse over the Taj Mahal.
Discovery will pull its coverage together with the help of
Discovery Europe and a dozen European TV affiliates. British
broadcaster Mary Nightingale will be the host.
The last total solar eclipse in the mainland United States took
place in 1979. Discovery has time to make plans for the next one _
it comes on Aug. 21, 2017.
