Constellations & Asterisms

Greetings Beloved Kin,

I stepped out to a “clear dark sky” and the Summer triangle was brilliantly shining! The StarWalk post links to an explanation of the difference between Constellations and Asterism’s. (Virgo is an example of a Constellation and the Summer Triangle is an example of an Asterism star formation.) If you haven’t observed the Summer triangle, it is stationed straight up – like the Divine Trinity!

 

The Summer Triangle is a prominent star pattern. Its stars (Vega, Deneb, Altair) are so bright that the pattern is visible even on bright summer evenings in the Northern Hemisphere. But don’t let the name fool you — although it’s called the “Summer” Triangle, it’s actually visible all year round! Use the Sky Tonight app to easily find the Summer Triangle tonight. Read on to learn all the interesting things about this star pattern.

StarWalk’s article tells you how to find it and the best times to see it, along with the details of the 3 Constellations that each share a star in the formation.

Love, Debra

THE TRECENA OF JAGUAR/IX: A VISION QUEST OF SPIRIT TO LIGHT A DIVINE WAY

6 Storm/CAUAC (Cherokee, Redbird/TOTSU’HWA))  – Day 6 of 13 of the 1 Jaguar/IX trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 6: Six is responsiveness and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.

Storm/Cauac: Day of the blessing of rain, giver of all life and lightening, a gift of nitrogen to Mother Earth and ozone to Father Sky. Cauac is also associated with the moon and the cycles of the moon, which are the meter of the feminine aspect of creation. The essence of Storm is the feeling of unity, security and warmth experienced in the home while the tempest of trouble rages in the world outside. Perpetually youthful, Storms exist to experience the ecstasy of freedom. They have the great capacity to both learn and teach. Their constant quest for novel experiences often leads to difficult tests and storms of emotion. Looking at these difficulties for the lessons they indeed are, will enrich our lives rather than destroy. Cauac individuals teach much through their electricity of being. Lightning energizes earth, this same energy energizes humans. Divine connections can be accessed.

A GOOD DAY TO: Count your lessons as blessings and your enemies as angels. 

Cherokee, Redbird/TOTSU’HWA: Redbird’s symbol is Alcyone of the Pleiades Star in constellation Taurus.  Alcyone is the Central Sun of the Universe, heart of heaven. Lightning is the visible evidence of the presence of Redbird Spirit in the Sky, daughter of the Sun Spirit, sign of Fire, Sun’s alter ego on Earth. Redbird is a feminine sign; the hand that rocks the cradle. The symbol of nurturing, the lightning nurtures and energizes, with energy for zest, curiosity, imagination, and ideas. Lightning adds spiritual force to the human by way of “lightning of the blood” of a healer, directly body to body vibration. The key to spiritual communication and access to the wisdom of the Ancestors lies in the ability to bestir the blood to speak. Sacred stones such as flint, obsidian, crystal are created by lightning striking the ground.
