The Fire This Time

August has always held special significance for me. Years before I knew anything about astrology, cosmic forces, or how energy works, the month signaled a kind of portent, when whatever happened amazed me. I now know the Leonine energies are a cosmic complement to my Aquarian sun--but well beyond this, our eighth month opens portals to power for us all.

On the Starchild Ascension site, Celia Fenn channeling Archangel Michael, writes,

"...the Sirius Star Gate opens into the Harmonic of the 8:8:8 on the 8th of August and is followed by the energy of the Full Moon (in Aquarius) the next day. The gate remains open until the 12th of August. Then, on the 13th of August, Venus transits into the fifth house of Leo, governed by the Sun and the element of Fire. The Fire Goddess Comes - the energy of the Solar Feminine floods the planet.

The fiery energy of the Divine Feminine in her manifestation as Sekmet, the lioness, has been felt on the planet in recent weeks, but now, the Fire Goddess flames forth in the fiery and intense energy of Leo. She will transit through Leo in the month of August, following the path of the Sun and creating intense and fiery energy. On the 27th of August she will cross paths with Saturn at 14 degrees of Leo. This will be a pivotal date, for at that time her energy will be under pressure to transform and change as a result of the close conjunction with Saturn.

At that point, dearest Lightworkers, the Planetary Collective will choose between continuing on the current path that will lead to continued destruction, or transmuting the energy into Global Peace and Harmony. Whatever seeds are planted at this time will grow and flourish in the next year. We cannot stress enough how important it is NOW to hold the vision of Global Peace. Pray for Peace, Meditate for Peace - create that miracle! Feel that Peace deep within yourself and your heart and believe in it totally and completely. Hold the Vision and the intention for the Highest Possible Outcome - Global Peace - starting in the Middle East."

On a personal level, we've also been working with the energy of the Divine Solar Feminine to transmute all that is not "of peace" in our own lives. Michael continues:

"The 8:8:8 'harmonic' is a vortex of pure energy that holds a powerful archetypal imprint that is made available to all those on the planet. The archetype of the 8 is PERSONAL POWER - the essence of the I AM within each person. The conjunction of this Harmonic with the Lion's Gate Energy creates a powerful moment for Personal and Planetary empowerment. The 8:8:8 is also what we would call a 'Time Gate' or 'Time Lock'. It allows you as individuals to access fully your Past and Future self in the Present Moment as you experience the entirety of your 'I AM' presence. Wherever you will find yourself physically at that time will be a power point for you. It is an opportunity to consciously integrate all that you Are and hold the balance, for yourself and the planet as part of your Lightwork.

The 'Spirit' Lions that guard the portal of the Lion's Gate were known in ancient Egypt as the Lions of 'Yesterday' and 'Tomorrow'. Enter in between the guardians of the Past and the Future, and fully claim your I AM power - NOW. This will give you great strength on your journey forward.

Then, on the 9th of August, this energy will be amplified by the energies of the Full Moon. The rising Moon will be in Aquarius, with the setting Sun in Leo. The energy of Aquarius is governed by Uranus, that planet of sudden shifts and changes. You can harness that energy to accelerate the transformation for PEACE as humanity stands at the threshold of the Age of Aquarius, or the Golden Age of Peace. You are planting the seeds for the Coming Age in your work right now!"

On the 13th, we have the opportunity to use the power of Sekmet to transmute the Solar Fire "from its lower expression of greed, power, and destruction into its higher expression of Love and Beauty and Harmony. "

Then on August 26th and 27th, resonance and reverberation begins, as we complete the 8:8:8 energies until we reach the 9:9:9 harmonic on the 9th and 27th of September in 2007. This will be the final clearing and closing of this cycle that began in 1999.

Michael assures us that as Venus in Leo transits Saturn in Leo, "This will be the important moment of Transformation and an opportunity to Restructure old patterns of hostility and transmute them into Higher Octaves of Peace and Love.

The Sun will have moved into Virgo on the 23rd of August, and the New Moon in Virgo, also on the 23rd, will allow you to GROUND your I AM power in order to create Global Peace and Harmony on the beloved Planet Earth.

Personally, and as a Planet, you can choose to transmute the Solar Fire energy into Higher Love through Global Peace. Call on the Divine Feminine through Hathor, to allow her energy to be felt at this time.

You are Human Angels, you are Christed Beings, you have worked for this moment. You are taking on your Mastery and becoming true Stewards of the planetary energy. You can make a difference!

Call Forth Peace and Joy.

And so - IT IS!"
