2021 Aquarius Full Moon in Sheep Month
July 23, 2021 at 7:37 pm PDT is a full Moon in Aquarius. Aquarian individuals are unique thinkers and innovators. Air sign Aquarius rules the 11th house of friends, networks, and social values. Now is the ideal time to widen your social circle, connect with friends, and share communal activities.
Venus conjuncts Mars that favors love relationships, the creating of new friendships, and the blossoming of your current connections. Plus this full Moon marks the peak of Sheep month. Creative Sheep brings peace and harmony — and enjoys a good party!
Venus and Mars are opposite Jupiter, newly in rulership sign Pisces, for both social and financial good luck. Under the influence of Jupiter, you can indulge a bit, it’s great for entertaining, and it’s a fortunate time for launching a new enterprise. Just don’t overextend. Keep your plans simple in this Ox year.
This full Moon conjuncts Saturn and…

Daily Words of the Buddha for July 22, 2021
Saddhā tarati oghaṃ,
appamādena aṇṇavaṃ.
Vīriyena dukkhamacceti.
Paññāya parisujjhati.
Through conviction one crosses over the flood.
Through heedfulness, the sea.
Through persistence one overcomes suffering & stress.
Through discernment a person is purified.
Sutta Nipāta 1.186
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Hau’ōli aloha Pō’ahā
Aloha ē Hau’ōli aloha Pō’ahā nā Kānaka! Ē ‘oli’oli kō ōukōu aloha ē alohi mai nō nā mea a pau ē ʻike. ‘Ō kā maluhia nō me ‘oe.
Hello and Happy Aloha Thursday, People! Let your aloha shine for all to see. Peace be with you.
Daily Words of th Buddha for July 21, 2021
Aññā hi lābhūpanisā,
aññā nibbānagāminī.
Evametaṃ abhiññāya,
bhikkhu buddhassa sāvako,
sakkāraṃ nābhinandeyya,
vivekamanubrūhaye.
One is the quest for worldly gain,
and quite another is the path to Nibbana.
Clearly understanding this,
let not the monk, the disciple of the Buddha,
be carried away by worldly acclaim,
but develop detachment instead.
Dhammapada 5.75
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita

Aloha e Hauʻōli Aloha Pō’akolu kākou! Ē hōmai ē. Ō kā maluhīa nō me ʻoe.
Greetings and Happy Aloha Wednesday, everyone! Return me to all that Is. Peace be with you.

Lilith in Gemini Part 2
Lilith, one of my fave Astrology and Archetypal queens moves into GEMINI July 18 until April 14, 2-2022. GEMINI is the sign of duality, choices, thinking, communications, marketing, analysis, childlike, social butterfly, non-committtal, merchandising, and tricksters.
I see Lilith as ruling SCORPIO totally. She is tied to sexuality, menstruation- retreating to the Red Sea is an obvious metaphor, taboo things, death, transformation, abortions, all the feminine mysterious, power control secrets, which are projected onto Her.
Note the significance that the death bringing feminine aspect of Nature came before the life bringing Shekinah aspect of God who appeared after the 2nd woman Eve was created and she and Adam were “expelled from paradise in shame.”
Lilith, the most demonized figure in the Bible, is the very first woman created equal to Adam from the red earth it says in the original Mystic Secret Initiated version of the Bible, she is…

Yassa nittiṇṇo paṅko,
Maddito kāmakaṇṭako,
Mohakkhayaṃ anuppatto
Sukhadukkhesu na vedhatī sa bhikkhū.
That bhikkhu who has crossed the mire,
Crushed the thorn of sensual desire,
And reached the destruction of delusion
Is not perturbed by pleasures and pains.

CURRENT EVENTS | Operation Underground Railroad
WHY THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD
The Underground Railroad was a network of secret routes and safe houses established in the United States during the early to mid 19th century. They were used by African American slaves to escape into free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists and allies who were sympathetic to their cause. The original Underground Railroad was a group that acted and infiltrated.

Meditation Moment …
Reframing negative thoughts into positive thoughts, over time changes the way I think. My outward circumstances change too. As I experience more optimism, I attract greater prosperity and abundance into my life.
Daily Words of the Buddha for July 17, 2021
Uṭṭhānenappamādena,
saṃyamena damena ca,
dīpaṃ kayirātha medhāvī
yaṃ ogho nābhikīrati.
By effort and heedfulness,
discipline and self-mastery,
let the wise one make for oneself
an island which no flood can overwhelm.

Hello and good morning. It’s a wonderful Saturday. Sending aloha to all of you. Peace be with you.

Astrology | Intense quirky weekend July 16-18
The moon moves from social loving Libra into intensely secretive, power hungry controlling, obsessive, emotionally transformative and sexual Scorpio moon.
You know what that means. The big gun shadows come out. Watch out for arguments
There are many inconjuncts or quincunx energies between the moon and planets this weekend and these are irritating AF and difficult.
150 degree angles, 5 signs away different elements, they no comprehend each other. So conflict is bound to happen not just with what’s obvious but in your blind spot.
Watch the video. it’s dark lol like scorpio. I know but felt you need to know.
Lilith also enters Gemini ♊️ July 18 until April 14, 2022. Lilith has been in Taurus since October 21, 2020. Lilith Spends about 9 months travelling through a sign. Nine months is a pregnancy cycle and Lilith is tied to the moon as her apogee. Reflect on how lilith…

Astrology | Be aware of an urge to stand up to power – make a wise decision; three quincunx aspects says right timing is not with us
It’s Already Happening But People Don’t See It – Alan Watts on Duality
An inspirational and profound speech on Duality, the music of life, and How It Is All Happening Around Us from the late philosopher Alan Watts. Original Audio sourced from: “Alan Watts – Coincidence of Opposites”
“The problem comes up because we ask the question in the wrong way. We supposed that solids were one thing and space quite another, or just nothing whatever. Then it appeared that space was no mere nothing, because solids couldn’t do without it. But the mistake in the beginning was to think of solids and space as two different things, instead of as two aspects of the same thing. The point is that they are different but inseparable, like the front end and the rear end of a cat. Cut them apart, and the cat dies.” – Alan Watts. (1915 – 1973)
Chiron Retrograde in Aries, healing time.
Chiron turns Retrograde at 12 degrees Aries from July 16 until December 19th. That’s a five month long period where we can heal our wounds if we surrender into them. That is the only way to get healed. We cannot defend ourselves against our own pain and vulnerability. The greatest strength is being vulnerable. There is no war except our internal split between matter and spirit.
Toxic masculinity started a long time ago. It was ratified in the Old Testament with splitting off from the Mother Earth and the Divine Feminine to conquer and control what was scary and more powerful than men’s physical strengths. The warrior and top down Hierarchies are woven into our culture so we think it is natural but it’s not.
A true warrior knows when to be vulnerable and intimate and honor his own nurturing Divine Feminine and to honor it in women and to create…

Sabhaggato vā parisaggato vā
ekassa veko na musā bhaṇeyya.
Na bhāṇaye bhaṇataṃ nānujaññā.
Sabbaṃ abhūtaṃ parivajjayeyya.
Having entered a royal court or a company of people
one should not speak lies.
One should not speak lies (oneself) nor incite others to do so.
One should completely avoid falsehood.

Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni
yo daṇḍena vihiṃsati,

pecca so na labhate sukhaṃ.
Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni
yo daṇḍena na hiṃsati,

Whoever takes a stick
to beings desiring ease,
when one is looking for ease,
will meet with no ease after death.
Whoever doesn’t take a stick
to beings desiring ease,
when one is looking for ease,
will meet with ease after death.
