Gemini Festival of Humanity, Goodwill & World Invocation Day
Facts about the Gemini Festival so everyone can participate. This entire week, leading up to the full moon on Wednesday, June 11, the New Group of World Servers (NGWS) is preparing for the Gemini Solar (Sun) Festival, the 3rd Spring Festival under the receptive (of the Sun’s light, of Gemini) light of the full moon.
The Gemini Festival has many names – Festival of Humanity; Festival of the Buddha’s Last Sermon; Festival of the Lord Maitreya (Aquarian World Teacher); Festival of Goodwill; and World (Great) Invocation Day (a world prayer).
The Christ (Pisces and Aquarian World Teacher) representing humanity at the Gemini festival, blends the spiritual teachings of the East (wisdom) and West (love) and all religions, and calls humanity to friendship, cooperation, community and to a human and spiritual unity.
Simultaneously, the Forces of Reconstruction stream forth into the Earth, ushering in a new era of creativity and the rebuilding of the world upon new energies (wherein the total destruction of the old forms will necessitate). The Reconstructive Forces, set in motion by the Christ at the festival, precipitate and bring into manifestation on the physical plane the Forces of Restoration and Enlightenment for the upliftment and evolution of humanity.
Gemini is the 3rd Spring Solar Festival of Goodwill, and calls forth into humanity Divine Intelligence (Ray 3). With our prayers, aspirations, visualizations (creative tool), thought forms, actions and love, we bring forth the Will to Good (Ray 1) which becomes Goodwill in humanity. Goodwill becomes Right Relations becomes Peace in the world (an esoteric spiritual equation).
During the Gemini Festival we call forth the Four Freedoms to express themselves in humanity. The Freedom of speech/expression; of worship; freedom from fear and from want. The Freedoms are the qualities of the Soul (gifts of the Holy Spirit, Ray 3).
World Invocation Day – The Great Invocation (prayer). Disciples world-wide recite the Great Invocation, a universal prayer (given to humanity at the Gemini Festival, 1945, after WW2). This invocation calls forth the Souls of humanity, of all nations (which are the people), of the planet and the Four Freedoms. The recitation of the Great Invocation creates Thought Forms of Solution to humanity’s problems. Now everyone knows. Join us, the NGWs, everyone. Bringing something new in the world, on Earth and heaven. A new “day” (light) begins.

ARIES: With Saturn now in the sign of the Initiator, it looks like you are one of the more potent energies for the rest of the year and later. You’ll not only deeply experience structural changes but will actually personify change for others, especially in your work. This means you have the opportunity to initiate completely new and transformative ideas that will re-shape the structure of your personal and professional life, co-workers, and all environments. Everyone around you will listen.
TAURUS: You, as the illuminator, the forger, the Venusian, know full well the reality of the times and are working relentlessly to provide real information and essential truths in order to establish stabilization among your circle of family and friends and then into the world. You have the knowledge, energy, impetus and constancy to reach out to those in need, offering what is needed. Many will look to you for guidance. We stand with you.
GEMINI: You know many things, bits and pieces of important information. And often you hide them from others. You wonder at the reality of your intuition but truly it’s intact and revelatory. Use it to guide others in ways that reveal to them their own life essence and the spiritual worlds. Use your intuition also to improve the life of someone entrusted to your care. I know you will do this. It’s in your heart and Venus guides you. It’s love that informs your intelligence and daily life.
CANCER: Working with others brings all your gifts forth. At first it seems difficult to come out from under your shell and to enter into groups of people. That’s natural for Cancer, preferring to remain at home. Contact family, distant relatives, tend to close relationships and friends with special care especially children. Renew vows of marriage and commitment, and march forward steadily in the radiating light of goodwill. Goodwill creates Right Relations and interactions and brings peace to your life.
LEO: Communication becomes quite interesting for you in these polarized and critical times, where everyone has an opinion and/or judgment. What’s most important for your well-being is talk of love. This is a wise way of living. Virtues of detachment, dispassion and discrimination need to interweave through all conversations. Try not to be burdened with work. Balancing the two – relationships and daily work – is what your health needs. Concentrate primarily on what creates happiness. Relationships do, and they heal wounds.
VIRGO: The challenges of the last years quietly and safely begin to ease. A more calm and peaceful time, relatively, will begin, although you may feel there is simply too much work, too many tasks, and obligations. Communications (words) may be in excess. A new sense of opportunities and possibilities not felt before will emerge. Focus on Right Human Relations with the kingdoms, a focus that can last forever. Deepen into your commitments through intention. When you do so, inspiration awakens.
LIBRA: Relationships are always Libra’s primary focus. Libra, the sign of relationships, is always learning how to be, to give, to receive, to understand, to love in relationships. And so, it continues to be a primary focus now and forever. You seek to know what sustains and comforts, nurtures, reassures and calms you. There will be situations this year offering insight into your early years. A truer, more substantial understanding will surface, creating psychological changes needed for your health and well-being. All of this is good. Travels continue as usual.
SCORPIO: You contemplate daily life in your childhood years, seeking what nurtured, nourished and sustained you. What your parents provided, and how this early psychological foundation influences your present life. Thoughts run deep, feelings deeper. Wounds resurface about self-identity, but soon they shimmer and dissolve away. A finely tuned creative vein begins to appear. You seek ways to express yourself differently than before. Play for you is serious. Find some children to play with.
SAGITTARIUS: You go through periods where you’re thrilled with life as a creative ad(venture). And then days where you wonder what that was all about and can’t find joy in your creative life, work, home, responsibilities or tasks. You are learning life’s ups and downs, duality and vicissitudes. Eventually over time they become tools for living a harmonious life. All the challenges being experienced are training you for deeper service. We don’t learn through comfort. Seek new friends and professional contacts. They are waiting. Maybe you need a studio to work in.
CAPRICORN: Always seeking to be productive, you find satisfaction, pride of accomplishment and solace through being and doing work at home. For many years, Pluto was your taskmaster. That has eased a bit. Now you are called to shape the new culture and civilization, take the lead in creating community and be part of the transformation that helps make our planet sacred. What is no longer needed in your life quietly falls away. The time has arrived to remember you are part of the New Group of World Servers. Something has changed at home.
AQUARIUS: A spiritual crisis (a good thing) unfolded in your life in the past years, and its repercussions continue this year. Many of us skirt spiritual issues or reject past religious upbringing or have no religious attractions whatsoever. You will ask deeply religious and spiritual questions and form out of your experiences a philosophy of Life. Seclusion, retreat and contemplation that will help should irritations beset you. This will pass. As Aquarius, friend to all, it’s good to recite the mantra – “I am one with my brothers and sisters. May the love within my heart lift and aid them.”
PISCES: Great benefits from unknown sources will be offered to you. You hope, pray, wish and visualize this. Spiritual studies and work deepen. Solitude will be your keynote even when you are with others and when reaching out to groups, friends and family. There will be a desire to make peace with everyone. Remember peace is the result of the Will to Good, the Will to Love and Goodwill, which create Right Relationships with all kingdoms. People will come to you. Guard them and yourself with care.
