"Ascending Waxing Moon, Ascending Mercury, and Regulus in Leo, 6-21 to 25, 2012"


 

Dear Doves and Math Man,
 
      Thinking about the Moon as symbolic of the Bride of Christ and Mercury as symbolic of Gabriel, I wondered about their movements in the heavens approaching 6-24 to 25 this year. Gabriel is associated with the blowing of a trumpet or horn. At sky and telescope there is a representation of where pictorially the Moon and Mercury will ascend from 6-21 to 23. The Moon rises from below Mercury on 6-21, the Moon lines up with Pollux and Castor (the twins), and rises above them by dusk on 6-23. The Moon (Bride) ascends to approach Mars, known as the planet of war, as of 6-24 to 25. Mercury (Gabriel) rises to its highest, 18 degrees above the horizon in the few days ahead. Venus is associated with Messiah/Christ, in these days Venus rises nearly 2 hours ahead of the Sun.  
      Something curious happens the evening of 6-23, 2012. The moon, rising towards Mars, the planet associated with war, meets the Little King of Leo. The moon rises to the left of Regulus, associated with the Constellation of Leo. This is pictured as and called "The Sickle" which is associated with mature harvest grain ready to be reaped with a sickle. Regulus is the brightest star in Leo. Regulus is called the Little King or Heart of the Lion. The Constellation associated with the Lion of Judah (Messiah/Christ) is Leo!  By the evening of 6-24, the Moon has ascended to be in line with Regulus (Heart of the Lion of Judah) and ascending toward Mars (war). Parts of the world, like in Europe and Africa and Asia, will see the Moon even closer to Regulus on 6-24 in the evening. Might that include Israel?  As of sunset, Israel will go to 6-25. The Moon (Bride) continues to ascend, toward Mars.
      When we read Psalm 112 there are themes of ascending and horn concerning the righteous, "the upright" ones. Remember that Gabriel is associated with his blowing a trumpet (horn). Please refer to my second post about Psalm 112. Might Gabriel's trumpet (horn) be used soon?
 
With Love and Shalom,
