After Wesak & the True History of Humanity
The week after the Wesak Festival (May 12), the New Group of World Servers and men and women of Goodwill, stand steady in the Light of Taurus, sign of Buddha and humanity’s illumination. And prepare for the next spring festival, that of Gemini.
Vulcan steadily works at his forge, fashioning the personality of all of humanity into a golden chalice, the Holy Grail, the chalice at the Last Supper, holding the “waters of life for thirsty humanity.”
The next full moon is the Gemini Festival, completing the triangle of Spring Festivals. At the Gemini Festival, the holy waters of Wesak are distributed to the gardens and to the animal kingdom. The Gemini Festival, June 11, 2025, is the Festival of Humanity. Between the Wesak Taurus full flower Buddha moon festival we have multiple celebrations and astrological events occurring:
1) Sun exits Taurus and enters Gemini (May 20)
2) Saturn leaves Pisces (after 2 ½ years) and enters Aries (new structures appear)
3) Gemini new moon festival (May 26, at 6 degrees Gemini) and Memorial Day
4) Christ’s Ascension into heaven (May 29 – 40 days after Easter)
5) Jewish festival of Shavuot (June 1, two-day holiday, commemorating Moses on Mt. Sinai receiving the Torah/Ten Commandments, laws for the Age of Aries)
6) Pentecost (June 8, the Holy Spirit appears as a fire, illumining the minds of disciples who begin to speak all languages, understanding each other)
7) Jupiter enters Cancer (June 9, after a year in Gemini) – a very complex astrological day
8) Gemini solar Festival of Humanity/full moon (June 11, at 20 degrees Gemini)
The history of the earth and humanity is its religions (developmental stages) and the astrological directions, energies and forces that influence all of humanity’s endeavors.
Thus. the explanations here of the astrological and religious festivals. The history books speak of humanity’s history in terms of wars. But that is only one slight segment of humanity’s history. Understanding the Ages (each 2,500 years long), the astrology of the times (then, now, in the future), the religions, teachings and festivals all represent the true history of humanity. They form the foundation as well as the entire overview of humanity’s development through time and space for the last 18 million years. And for the next 18 million years to come as well.
ARIES: You find it important to have beauty, peace and harmony at home. Along with nourishing and nurturing things. Look around your environments and create the needed order, beauty and comfort. You think about your childhood home, your parent’s marriage, the intelligence and love imparted there. You either imitate this way of living or revolutionize it. You are your own person.
TAURUS: You always choose to be kind, tolerant, tactful, the thought of ahimsa (doing no harm) to any creature. This makes you very friendly and likable, always seeking to recognize the good in others. You are learning during the new and full moon festivals that you are creative. You’re sensitive, diplomatic, and often rather silent. You have very high intelligence, which you hide. You are also, at times, mischievous, the trickster. Everyone likes you.
GEMINI: It’s important to realize and hear from others that you are creative, intelligent, loving, cared for and appreciated. You may not value or verbalize these needs to others, but it’s important to have them spoken to you. Inform loved ones that you feel safe and secure with them. And thank them. What you seek most right now are things simple, trustworthy and genuine. Soul qualities.
CANCER: The planets are affecting you in such a way that you are more vulnerable, sensitive, more aware, perceptive and intuitive. Give to yourself all that you need this year. You may need to tend to your health and well-being with more focus. Less acidic foods, more alkaline for balance. You will feel the difference. Research Chaga (medicinal mushroom), MCT oil, and dried green barley grass. Use them daily for a sense of well-being.
LEO: Parts of your life have become more hidden and will remain so for a while. In terms of love it’s as if you closed the door and went into hiding. Secrets become interesting, you or others speaking in whispers. There’s a real feeling that some essential somethings – people, situations, events, the past – have ended. Loss is always accompanied by sadness, lamentations and melancholy. This too passes. You realize in your heart what you are lonely for.
VIRGO: It’s important to have someone nearby who shares your interests. You seek this closeness which brings happiness through friendships and group interactions. You also seek peacefulness through order and organization. You waver between depth and impersonality, all the while wanting to trust. You’re here and there with your thinking. You want to feel empowered but sometimes daily life feels wounding. Relationships prove illuminating.
LIBRA: A very expansive new sense of self is growing within, and you will be surprised who and what you become in the future. In relationships, you harmonize rather than challenge. In groups of friends you are the change maker, the radical social one. Someone makes you very happy. You value their love. They teach you how to love more. You protect them from harm. Safeguarding them. You don’t talk about these things. Sometimes there’s sadness.
SCORPIO: You’re recognized for your unceasing work performance. You’re seen as a bit radical, responsible, likeable, with appropriate authority, able to negotiate and socialize at the same time. All in terms of your profession. There’s some ambition for something new, something managerial combined with art, creativity and your particular talent. Opportunities come your way. Keep a sensible heart throughout. But listen to the siren calls.
SAGITTARIUS: Several things keep coming to the surface and then showing up in your life. The usual things – money, sharing finances, deep intimate connections, dividing power, discussing emotional topics. All of these are important. Then there’s the unusual, where routine becomes a grave dissatisfaction. The appeal is other people, faraway places, attractive and charming and rather exotic. You will seek, attract, manifest and then synthesize all of it. Joy is the result.
CAPRICORN: Pay special attention to partners, intimates, friends and those close to you. Personal, patient, loving one-on-one interactions are needed by those who love you. Decide, with intention and dedication, to be more present, to slow down and to just love more. Observe carefully the needs of those in your life. One can radiate love yet still be unaware of the real needs of others. Do you recognize the subtle difference? Then the question, what do you need?
AQUARIUS: Above all other things you do this month, make sure to bring to all environments a sense of harmony and peacefulness. Be friendly and tidy, generous and a pleasure for everyone. Call for team spirit, ask everyone to be cooperative and share tasks. The outcome is everyone begins to recognize your gifts and appreciates you more and more. Wherever you are, tend carefully to all resources, finances and be aware of what you value. Be the hidden mayor of your town, city, village.
PISCES: There is a feeling that a new reality is needed. The one you’ve been living in no longer serves you. This is part of the cosmic changes and shifts of the planets playing out, part Chiron (the wound) and Neptune (things dissolving). There is a need for change, for a new environment, new ways of daily living, new rhythms, new resources and more choices. Create a magnetic field around you by visualizing the needs being fulfilled. Write, draw, paint them. Let this be your new daily creative endeavor. Then quietly observe what happens.
