THE STORY

I mapped a trail of roses through time.

2015: The time I was handed a rosary from a stranger, an old man, his grey hair buzzed short beneath a blue knit cap. He handed me the rosary, gestured for me to place it around my neck. Then, with my permission, he took a picture of me wearing it, walked his camera over to show me. He never said a single word, only ever communicated through gestures, except for when he showed me the picture on his camera screen: “See?” He asked, as I looked at the picture of myself - sitting there in the sun, the rosary around my neck.  I laughed, not really knowing what he was talking about but finding it all quite amusing and strange. I returned the rosary to him, went on my merry way.

2017: I stood in a boutique in Brooklyn a few days before my 31st birthday. I was surrounded by pillows and sheepskin rugs and candles but what jumped out at me was a headband, made of gold, adorned with gold roses. As I placed it on my head, it felt like a crown.

How many roses are there? I wondered while writing these memories in a journal - bound in blue cloth, a white rose printed on the front.

I stood up from my bed and walked over to the bookshelf by the bedroom door. There, the gold rose headband lay, encircling an amethyst mala, encircling a rose scented candle.

I counted the gold roses around the band: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

A dozen. I smiled. And laughed a little bit, noticing the mala’s placement for the first time - right next to the headband - and realizing how it’s like a rosary - a string of beads for meditation and prayer. I’d never thought of it before. Why I placed the mala there, around the candle, why I placed the headband around it. I never saw them like I saw them today: as the first two markers on a trail.

I walked back to bed, wondering: Why is it called a rosary?

I looked it up. Rosary means crown of roses.

The golden headband, adorned with roses! I always call it my crown.

I picked up my journal and kept drawing my map. A whole long line of roses through time. Like the time in January 2020 when I heard that I needed to start washing my face and hair with rose soap. Like the time in July 2020 when my friend had a vision for me of a blooming rose, like the time a month and a half later when she had another vision for me of another rose. This time, the rose was dark, its petals were falling by my face. What she didn’t know is that roses had been coming up for me for years. That I’d been washing my hair with rose, surrounding myself in roses, that that very morning - when I’d gotten curious about the idea of the Sisterhood of the Rose for the very first time and decided to do a Google search - I’d read this:

“Once the last rose petal is released then the universal symbols are received and remembered - it is then and only then that the Sister will go on to do her true work.” (source)

What my friend didn’t know is that as she was texting me with these visions that were suddenly flooding her system, I was standing at the threshold to my home office, standing beneath a bouquet of dried roses. Roses that I’d bought to be with me while editing my book, that I’d later strung up like this, to stay at the entrance to my work space.

As she described the dark rose, the petals falling, I looked down at the floor, saw a single dark red rose petal that had fallen from the bouquet above. I picked it up and held it in the palm of my hand. I looked at it with immense curiosity because in the year that the bouquet had been hanging here, a petal had never fallen. The roses had stayed, intact.

I sent my friend a picture of the petal I held in my hand, and she sent me a picture of a variety of rose I’d never heard of before: Rosa virginiana. She was guided to look it up, to send it to me.

It was unlike the typical rose. Unlike the roses hanging above me, the ones commonly found in most florist shops. This rose was wild.

It had five purplish petals encircling a golden center.

And then my friend reminded me of a dream she’d had of me months earlier - in April 2020, four days after my vision of God resembling a black body (see The Message). In her dream, I was wearing a white dress and walking through a field with purple flowers, up a small hill, and the sun was “SO BRIGHT.”

“I think these are the purple flowers I saw!” She told me. (quote from memory, not exact)

And as I looked at the picture of the wild roses bearing my name, my eyes got all wide because I realized that they looked just like the flowers on the pocket watch that belonged to my great-great grandmother Cora. Looked just like the flowers on the ring (also from Cora) that I started wearing on my right ring finger a few weeks earlier.

All of this happened in August and part of it was included in the September Guide. The issue that included the Virgo new moon, the Virgo new moon that paved the way to the Virgo full moon on February 27th, the moon whose energy we are riding now, at the beginning of March.

What I wrote in September:

I’d been looking at the flowers engraved on the surface of Cora’s golden pocket watch. I wondered what kind of flowers they were. Something told me they were roses even though they didn’t look like the typical roses that I was familiar with, but now this, the virgin rose. They circled the face of the watch like a crown.

Of course, I didn’t know then that the crown of roses was - in part - an allusion to the rosary, for I only just learned (in February 2021) that rosary means crown of roses, but of course, the September Guide was alluding to this, the channeled words moving through me were anchored within the collective unconscious, within the body of wisdom and knowledge to which we are all connected - IMMERSED - but only sometimes given glimpses of - if we’re paying attention, if we let the knowing move through us, revealing itself to us beyond all that we’ve been consciously taught.

(If you’re curious to know more about roses and their specific connection to the sign of Virgo, return to the September Guide. Start with The Message.)

My friend told me about the Virginia rose, the virgin rose, the wild rose. She told me that behind the dark red rose - its petals falling - there was a portal - sparkly and blue.

She told me I had to go through it.

As soon as she said this, I saw the portal too - in my mind’s eye - saw myself standing in the middle of it.

I made the choice to enter.

☆

At 9 PM on August 27, 2020, I lit the candles from my Leo new moon ritual, the candles connecting the future and the past, sending me (and all of us who performed this ritual) through the Portal of Destiny.

I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, inhaled with the intention to step through the portal. As I did, I had a powerful vision of two halves of myself - light and dark - merging completely, and then, my ears went BLANK. Like a vacuum. A void. Like all earthly sound was sucked out of them, but I was left feeling like I could hear more clearly than I’d ever heard before, and I heard: You can hear everything. Anything you want. You can hear, and we will tell you.

I, of course, wanted to know about the roses, wanted to know about Cora, but I don’t remember asking the question - at least not with words or thoughts - when suddenly, I heard Cora speaking.

She told me all about the roses.

Told me things that seemed so strange and impossible that I felt myself cringing with skepticism as she spoke, but to this resistance of mine she said, It’s okay. You are safe. I love you. Listen:

You have to know the secret women have been holding for years, for generations really - no one told me and I felt so alone:

…

We were the 13th tribe, and we were enslaved in Egypt, and we held inside us the great secrets of the earth and how matter grows and how to create...Man wanted to entrap our power so we would forget, but we never forgot. We remembered. We placed the memories - sealed them - in the bodies of our high priestesses to be bearers of wisdom through the ages.

…

And the world needs its priestesses as it always has or else the earth will shrivel and die and the air will become toxic for man without our magic - which they stole - the earth would be not habitable.

The magic comes from where we come from. *hearing: oxygen oxygen oxygen, seeing: trees growing from the soil, growing tall, seeing animals come out of the oceans and the evolution of man*

The organism that brought the oxygen was FEMALE. The birth of the feminine energy wave on Earth that came from the stars.

…

You are so much more than you even realize.

...

Stay humble while we teach you.

…

Then - in my mind’s eye - I saw myself, surrounded by women. Generations of priestesses, who told me: We will help you remember.

I sat in the middle of all of the women as they surrounded me in beautiful circles of different colored roses.

So many roses.

White roses encircled the front of my body.

Black roses encircled the back.

Then blue roses outside the white.

Dark red outside the black.

And onwards.

Circles and circles of roses.

And then - in my mind - I stood up, and as I stood standing, the roses were swept up into my dress and into my arms. I became full of roses until I saw a single rose opening at my third eye. It was all of the colors. Like a kaleidoscope.

Afterwards, I felt very calm, but my left arm was almost completely numb, and my legs were tingling.

I went to bed. I had to rest.

☆

Roses, you will see, play a pivotal role in this month of March.

I knew this - because of the astrology, because of the messages coming in. I knew that I would be sharing Cora’s message now. A message that I’ve continued to simply stay curious about. Not knowing exactly what it all means or what to make of it or what to fully believe.

For this issue - before any words - I saw the image for the cover in my mind: a single rose. With the title: The Return of the Rose.

I sat down to draw it, and as I was drawing the picture, I received a spam call from a phone number: 331-1313

The call came in at 11:28 AM.

At the exact same time - 11:28 AM - a friend (whose name is Rose) sent me a picture of a pink rosebud, covered in snow - about to bloom.

The next day, I woke in the morning with the song Cracklin’ Rosie by Neil Diamond playing in my head. (A song I highly recommend giving a quick listen to because really, if you can listen to this and not dance with joy, well….then you have something I do not have.) This song always feels like pure joy to me, and on that February morning, these lyrics in particular were sticking out to me: “We’ve got all night, to set the world right.”

I always assumed this song was about a woman named Rosie, but that line made me wonder: What is this actually about?

I looked it up, and to my great surprise: Cracklin’ Rosie is believed to be about an indigenous tribe in Canada where there are more men than women, and the men - lonely - apparently often sit around the fire and drink wine. (Crackling Rosé is an inexpensive Canadian wine.)

Tribes...men without women…

I couldn’t believe it.

I searched my digital journal for the word “tribe.” Searched to find Cora’s message. When I did, I saw for the first time that somehow the word “tribe” is mentioned exactly 13 times within the 653 pages of this journal. First mention is in 2019, long before I heard about the 13th tribe from Cora...

At 12:22 PM, my husband calls me in for lunch, and I close the computer.

☆

It’s snowing here in New York City as I write this.

The snow came out of nowhere for me. I didn’t recall having seen it in the forecast. The flakes started whipping outside my window just as I started typing Cora’s words for you.

After lunch, I poured some whole milk into a metal pot on the stove. Added cocoa and sugar. Vanilla and salt.

I was determined to drink the hot chocolate and rest a bit before returning to channeling this story for you.

I turned on the TV. Put on the next episode of A Discovery of Witches, which I was now weeks behind on. As I did, a scene in the “previously on” struck me, I felt called to record it, send the video to a friend.

In the scene, a powerful man approaches a powerful woman. He demands she give him her memories. He places his hands on her head and starts taking them from her. She screams - “They’re mine!” - gets hold of a blade and stabs him while saying, “I said no.”

The scene immediately reminded me of these lines from Cora’s message:

We held inside us the great secrets of the earth...We placed the memories - sealed them - in the bodies of our high priestesses...Man wanted to entrap our power so we would forget, but we never forgot. 

I looked down at the video. It was exactly 13 seconds long.

I watched the show for a little while longer, sipping my hot chocolate, but soon, it was clear that I just needed to get back to this, so I paused the show exactly where I was. When I paused it, it was exactly at 13:03 minutes with 31:30 left.

13 again.

Alongside all the 3s. 

The number that called while I was drawing the rose: 331-1313

Ever since Cora gave me the message, 13 has been following me.

The morning after Cora’s message, I woke with the knowing: “This is why 13 is considered unlucky in certain places. Why it’s often removed from the floors in certain buildings (going straight from 12 to 14).

13 has been buried, hidden, shunned. Like the women burned at the stake as witches, the women all over the world whose power is oppressed, controlled, denied.”

*80-91% of high-rise buildings in the U.S. do not have a 13th floor*

I looked up the number 13. I learned that in certain ancient cultures, 13 represented femininity because of its connection to the moon and the female reproductive cycle. (There are 13 lunar cycles in a year - when a lunar cycle is set with the female cycle at 28 days.)

And Friday (which is the day associated with Venus) the 13th was traditionally a day for honoring women and feminine creative power, and in Ancient Egypt specifically, 13 was considered lucky and (perhaps) symbolic of immortality and spiritual completion.

When Cora first mentioned the 13th tribe to me (in Egypt), I immediately thought of the twelve tribes of Israel in The Bible. They were all named after the sons and grandsons of a man named Jacob. In other words, the 12 tribes in The Bible are all about a paternal line: the descendants through men.

There is no 13th tribe in The Bible. And while there are some women in The Bible, they pale in comparison to the men (accounting for only 5.5-8% of characters), and their significance is often controversial and disputed (e.g., Was Junia an apostle? Could there possibly have been female apostles?!) This is a far cry from Ancient Greece (and many other societies) where women played a powerful role in spirituality (e.g., the Oracle of Delphi, the Vestal Virgins, the Eleusinian Mysteries, etc.). But in Christianity in particular (the most dominant religion in the world), female power has mostly been removed, buried, and hidden from the story and the structures of the church.

Only just this year - on January 11, 2021 - did the pope formally change church law to allow women an expanded role in the church. Now, women can (officially) serve as readers and altar servers and assist the priest. But still, that’s all they can do. They cannot be priests. They cannot be pope. They cannot be elevated too highly. Lest the whole Catholic, Christian power structure collapse on itself. The one that tells you that you must come to the church and surrender your power to its authority, for within its hierarchy, God has chosen the (all male) leaders.

And it’s largely because of organized Christianity that 13 evolved to be considered evil. In part because of the story of the last supper. During the last supper, there were supposedly thirteen people. The thirteenth of which was supposedly Judas, who - as the story goes - betrayed Jesus and led to his crucifixion.

☆

So here I was, facing a message about the number 13 and how it is connected with powerful, magical women. How their story and power has been suppressed and stolen by men, and when I started researching, I right away uncovered that 13 has been historically associated with women.

And this is how Cora’s rose message has been unfolding: One thing after another, illuminating, confirming, keeping me curious and open to what it all means but also increasingly convinced that maybe - just maybe - it is all true.

☆

I took a break from writing this and went out to run an errand and get the mail. I reached deep into our mail slot to get the last couple of pieces - all the way in the back. I pulled them out and placed them on top of the stack. I looked down and saw:

I’d never seen this publication before. We don’t subscribe, and it’s never just shown up in our mailbox like it did on this day - the day I woke hearing “Cracklin’ Rosie” and saw that tribe was mentioned 13 times in my journal.

Celebrate Women

Vol. 30, Issue 3. The numbers that keep showing up alongside 13: 3 and 33.

The Pisces new moon is coming. It’s coming on March 13th - on 3/13 - and that moon? It will be perfectly conjunct the asteroid ROSA. Rosa as in Rosa virginiana. As in the genus containing all species of roses.

The rose moon is coming...but first:

☆

On March 3, 2021, Mars moves from Taurus into Gemini. It begins its transit across the Pleiades before preparing to cross the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic. (See the special reading for this world changing transit in last month’s issue.)

As Mars moves through Gemini, a new world order is established.

I see two worlds, like shifting tectonic plates.

This is all connected to what’s been happening. The Great Doing we’ve been in since January. We’ve been sowing the earth, preparing for growth.

This is all connected to the splitting timelines, the split in consciousness, that I talked about in December.

And this big Mars transit is happening in Gemini, the sign of the twins - two halves. Light and Dark. Yin and Yang.

And this is where the destiny point is - where it will continue to be through the end of 2021 - in the sign of Gemini. This whole year is about addressing this great divide and laying a foundation for unification.

What I channeled in January:

2021. A year where unification thrives as the founding principle.

But there is a split happening, a tension, as the unification takes hold and becomes rooted.

Those shifting tectonic plates.

That storm at the north pole that split the polar vortex in two as the Cancer full moon delivered our collective rebirth at the end of December. The rebirth - not yet fully formed, but here, for us to build upon. Build through the transformation that has and is taking place internally and externally. Inside each and every one of us on the other side. Outside, with every action we take.

For these first two weeks of March, give yourself time to PLAY and TAKE A BREAK.

BIG THINGS ARE COMING.

BIG THINGS

SHAKE THE EARTH THINGS.

☆

In last month’s surprise, I described this Mars transit as a massive DOING (like an explosion of ethereal energy) that helps lead to peace. 

I also mentioned how I’d been guided to see that Mars was crossing the same stretch of Gemini (that it’ll be crossing from March 3 - March 20th) when the first nuclear bomb was detonated (as a test) and then when the first bomb was dropped (on Hiroshima).

Since then, I was guided to a series of explosive events from 1780 through 2021. I was guided through dreams and more to these events. Events that just kept coming up everywhere I looked (in books, on TV, in visions, etc.). All of these events resulted in some sort of major disruption in life, particularly disruptions in the electrical grid, and I started seeing wild patterns in all of it.

Every event is connected to similar asteroids (Midas, Gold, Pele, Gaea, Victoria, Klio, Vesta, and Juno), and every event is connected to the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic. In the list that follows - just to simplify things - I’ve chosen to mostly only mention the connections with the Golden Gate.

1. In 1780, when a massive wildfire darkened the sky in New England - called New England’s Dark Day - the sun was moving through the Golden Gate and the destiny point (north node) had just completed its transit through the Golden Gate.

2. In 1859, the Carrington Event marked a geomagnetic storm with such intensity that people saw auroras at the equator (typically only ever seen at the poles), and while people weren’t using electricity much in 1859, the storm wrecked the telegraph system. (A storm of this magnitude today would cause extensive blackouts and more.) Then, Uranus had just finished moving through The Golden Gate and was currently transitting the Hyades (the V shaped stars at one end of the gate that were detailed last month). 

3. In 1883, when the volcano Krakatoa erupted in Indonesia, killing tens of thousands of people, and darkening the sky worldwide for years, Pluto, Midas, and Chiron were simultaneously crossing The Golden Gate and Saturn was finishing its transit through the Hyades. And it took Pluto and Chiron YEARS to cross The Gate.

4. In 1902, when Mount Pelée erupted on Ascension Day - creating an explosion akin to a nuclear blast in magnitude - Midas and Gold were conjunct after having just crossed The Golden Gate, Ceres (the nurturer) just finished crossing The Gate, and Mercury was about to enter the Gate.

5. In 1921, a major solar storm caused major electrical issues as Mars and Mercury were crossing The Golden Gate.

6. 1965, a major blackout affected over 30 million people in the US and Canada as the north node entered The Golden Gate.

7. In 1967, a major solar storm caused a blackout of polar surveillance. Midas and Mercury were crossing The Golden Gate.

8. In 1972, a major solar storm happened that thankfully was timed in such a way to not interfere with the final Apollo missions, but (and this is a bit hilariously on the nose) the sun was perfectly conjunct the asteroid Apollo when all this happened, Saturn had recently finished its transit through The Golden Gate, and Vesta was moving through The Golden Gate. And while this thankfully didn’t interfere with the spacecrafts, it did cause multiple sea mines to detonate.

9. In 1977, a major blackout hit New York City as Mars approached The Gate and Venus moved through it.

10. In 1989, a solar storm on MARCH 13TH (this month’s Pisces new moon marks this anniversary) brought darkness through a massive blackout hitting the entire province of Quebec. People in Florida and Cuba saw the northern lights. And radio signals were jammed from Russia, almost resulting in nuclear war before American military realized that the Russians weren’t intentionally jamming the signal but instead, the sun had done this through the massive eruptions on its surface that equaled the power of thousands of nuclear bombs. There were numerous electrical issues occurring throughout the world. On this day, Jupiter, Mars, and the moon were moving through The Golden Gate! (click if you want to learn more about this one)

11. In 2003, a blackout affected 55 million people in the US and Canada. This happened four months after the north node cleared its transit through The Golden Gate. Two months later, on Halloween, there was also a huge geomagnetic storm when an unexpected outbreak of 17 solar flares affected satellites, communications, aircrafts, etc. On that day, Pele was perfectly conjunct Chiron. Gaea perfectly conjunct the south node. Which they both will be again soon. All of this happened within 6 months of the destiny point clearing The Golden Gate.

12. In 2012, a massive solar storm happened as the south node, Jupiter, and Ceres moved through The Golden Gate. Now WE WERE BLESSED/FORTUNATE/SO LUCKY that the earth happened to be on the other side of the sun when this happened. Because had our planet been positioned at the opposite point in its revolution, then the solar flares would have WRECKED our electrical systems. But, also in 2012…just three months later, Hurricane Sandy blacked out New York City, as the sun, Saturn, and Pele were conjunct, and the south node had just completed its transit through The Golden Gate.

13. And in 2020 - in the energy of the Virgo full moon and just four days after NYC went into lockdown because of the coronavirus - a 5.7 magnitude earthquake hit Utah along a “virtually unknown” fault line. While the consequences of this event were minimal when compared to everything else on this list (leaving tens of thousands without power versus millions), I had a vision on the Virgo full moon last month (exactly on February 27th) that led me to learn about this quake, and it wants to be included in this list. AND on that day in 2020, Vesta was moving through The Golden Gate.

Does this mean that every volcanic eruption, earthquake, solar storm, and major blackout is connected to The Golden Gate? Of course not...at least…I don’t think…But what I can say is that every event that I was specifically guided to and then every one I subsequently looked up out of curiosity (such as major NYC blackouts and every solar storm)…they ALL had connections with The Golden Gate (as well as other patterns that I didn’t get into here because it would just be too much), and I don’t think this is a coincidence.

What do all these events have in common (the dropping of the bombs, the volcanic eruptions, the solar storms), they all had AN EXPLOSIVE FORCE THAT SENT US (AT LEAST TEMPORARILY, PARTIALLY) INTO DARKNESS.

And I am particularly curious about the geomagnetic storms because auroras (the northern lights) and magnetism have been coming up here for months. And literally even last night - after I told my husband how we will someday go to the Isle of Skye and see the northern lights - he turned on a random episode of a TV show, and as I was falling asleep, I overheard the characters talking about the auroras and the northern lights.

And the big solar events that cause most of these geomagnetic storms? They often follow solar flares, and they’re called CORONAL MASS EJECTIONS.

Corona has been coming up for a year - because of the virus and because of all of the messages I was getting around crowns and coronations and THE SUN. (See the 2020 Summary Story in December.)

What does all this mean? What is going to happen? Will anything happen?

Don’t know. Can’t say for sure.

What I do know is that just a few days after I finished this research, a massive winter storm, resulting from the split in the polar vortex at the north pole, hit the southern USA, leaving millions of people without electricity.

(And I know other people in the world have already been feeling the affects of some of this even earlier. For example, an earthquake hit Croatia ON the Cancer full moon just as the polar vortex split - ushering in our collective rebirth.)

I am always a bit wary to share messages like this because I don’t want to spread fear and I don’t want to freak people out, but also, sometimes things happen - like power outages and earthquakes and global pandemics and if we can be a little prepared (physically, emotionally, etc.), then why not be?

I don’t actually think there’s too much that can be done to prepare for any of the things I’ve mentioned, but I personally have gone ahead and bought some flashlights - just in case. That seemed like a prudent thing to do.

And to be VERY CLEAR - I don’t know exactly when something will happen or what will happen. What I can say is that there are patterns suggesting that significant disturbances like the above are more likely to happen over the course of the next year, and based on the patterns, I think one may happen very soon. As in, this month.

My sense is that if something does happen this month, it may be the beginning of a series of events connected to The Golden Gate and the weaving of peace and the shifting of the two worlds (that I see like tectonic plates in my mind) happening during 2021.

I also want to note that if/when something happens, there’s no telling what the actual ramifications could be or how long it would last. It could literally be a massive blackout that just lasts a couple of hours and then we all go back to our days (hearing *probably not*). BUT IT COULD. 

The point with all of this - for me - is that I don’t want to jump to conclusions, I don’t want to fuel fear, I simply want to share what I’ve seen/been shown/intuited so you have the information and can buy yourself some batteries too if you - like me - did not even own AA batteries.

I still hold and FEEL that this is part of creating the golden earth. That these events are here to teach us things, that I am being shown this because in sharing it with you, something can be done. If nothing could be done, what would be the point? (hearing *EXACTLY*)

☆

OKAY, so I think there may be a big electrical disturbance this month, and I will be totally happy if that turns out not to be the case!

maybe in reading this, seeing the pattern, we even have the power to change it?

☆

On March 6th, the north node of the moon (destiny point) and Psyche are perfectly conjunct for the third and final time this year! This is happening at 15 degrees Gemini (check your chart).

THIS MARKS THE START OF OUR FINAL TRANSCENDENT RISING.

*Seeing one of the plates lifting higher than the other - one world lifting up beyond the surface of the other.*

Also on this day, a series of major conjunctions are about to happen. SO MUCH IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN in the days that follow.

1. On the 7th, Mars fully crosses the Pleiades and ENTERS THE GOLDEN GATE. (Again, I highly recommend re-reading last month’s surprise.)

2. On the 8th, PLUTO AND DNA PERFECTLY CONJUNCT. This marks a massive transformation/shift in material reality and in THE BODY. Especially because this is happening in Capricorn, an earth sign, I think we will see the effects of this tangibly on Earth. This apparently is also International Women’s Day…and apparently all of March is Women’s History Month...something I did not know when I started writing this/this issue started writing itself and in so many ways, ended up being about women’s history!

   The rose moon is coming...

☆

We are evolving

weaving

every piece of it

a piece of peace

I don’t know where it ends

I don’t know where it starts

There is no beginning or end

It is all existing in a woven textile

Pieces lighting up at different times

Bringing us

Delivering us

To what comes next

☆

The rose moon - the Pisces new moon - arrives on March 13th at 5:21 AM EST.

On this new moon, the sun, moon, and the asteroid ROSA perfectly conjunct at 23 degrees Pisces.

What I channeled with the Pisces full moon in September:

“There are many roses ready to bloom, to unfold, unfurl. Promising. Promising forever. Promising fortune. Promising, promising.”

UNDER THE DARK OF THIS NEW MOON (3/13 - 3/27), we experience THE CULMINATION OF THE GREAT DOING.

This period of DIVINELY GUIDED ACTION that we’ve been undergoing since January.

In the days leading into this moon, we have experienced expansion after expansion as the sun conjuncted Jupiter (March 3rd) and Mercury conjunct Jupiter (March 4th), Psyche conjuncted the north node, and Mercury left its retrograde shadow (March 12th).

WE HAVE RISEN. WE ARE RISING. WE ARE READY.

*seeing a great gathering of people, lined up in row after row after row, standing*

WITH THIS NEW MOON, MARS COMPLETES ITS TRANSIT THROUGH THE GOLDEN GATE AND ENTERS THE V OF THE HYADES.

The V for Victory.

What I channeled in the year ahead reading before ever learning about the Hyades or their role in the month of March. This, for the STRENGTH card, the first major arcana of the year, the sign that this month WILL BE HUGE:

“The woman is perched atop the lion, the white light - in the shape of a V - shines on her like a spotlight as she’s surrounded by reds and oranges and yellows.”

A victory for WOMEN.

Literal, physical women, and also FEMININE ENERGY.

So often I want to SCRAP THAT IDEA. The idea of feminine energy and masculine energy, and all the ways that this idea can reinforce stereotypes of what it means to be a man or a woman, for all the ways that it can ignore the UNIFIED NATURE OF SPIRIT and reinforce dualistic, prejudicial thinking.

But then I remember Cora. I remember the message, and I feel in my body, in my anatomy, in my being, how I am a woman. Capable of creating life (if I so choose), and I feel all the ways that this shapes me and my energy and my CREATIVE energy. I encounter it constantly, monthly with the cycle that roots me to the cycle of the moon, the cycle of the earth. And I feel it in my magic.

Don’t get me wrong - there are many magical men! Some of you are here, reading this, and I see you, and I am grateful.

In elevating the feminine, there’s no need to deny or oppress the gifts of the masculine. And in recognizing and validating all that lives beyond these dualistic divides, there’s no need to deny the divide that presents itself again and again in the material world - in the bodies of animals and the flowering of trees, in a specific form of sexed reproduction that thrives here on Earth. In other words, we are perfectly capable of holding in our minds a nuanced and layered understanding of nature in which all is unified and then various aspects of that unification materialize in various ways - including, but not limited to, the feminine and the masculine.

And for now, in this moment, it feels very important to recognize the feminine.

THE GREAT WAVE OF FEMININE, MAGICAL ENERGY

UNFURLING IN THE EARTH RIGHT NOW.

What I channeled in January:

“This year, THE WOMEN ARE SET FREE. Which is to say, the literal, physical women, but also “feminine” energy.”

And this feminine energy moves through every person in different ways, and it moves through all the animals and the trees and the flowers and IT MOVES THROUGH THE EARTH.

IT MOVES DOWN THROUGH THE EARTH, DOWN TO THE CORE, AND IT SHOOTS ITSELF UP THROUGH THE MANTLE, BREAKING FREE, WRAPPING ITSELF AROUND THE EARTH, GIVING US BREATH, OXYGEN, SPACE TO BREATHE AND BE FREE, TURNING THIS COLLECTION OF STAR DUST AND GAS - HELD TOGETHER BY GRAVITY - INTO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN BREATHE AND BE FOR ALL ETERNITY.

Earth, an Eden in the cosmos.

☆

THE OCEAN WAS BLUE AND GREEN.

But first, it was molten, fiery. The earth was black.

The air was full of nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

THERE WAS NO SPACE TO BREATHE.

Then, some two billion years ago, in the vast expanse of ocean that covered the earth, bacteria began to multiply. BREEDING, CREATING, in the water.

Creating more of itself and also producing OXYGEN.

For the first time, life taking water and light, converting it to oxygen, releasing oxygen out into the water, into the atmosphere. So much oxygen that these organisms changed the entire planet.

These early, basic lifeforms CHANGED THE EARTH AND MADE WAY FOR LIFE.

They created the ozone layer. Creating a world where it was safe to exist outside the water, where the sun’s rays no longer were beating down on the surface of the earth with punishing intensity, but instead, they were ABSORBED by the atmosphere and the earth’s surface, and still other rays were reflected back out into space.

“Imagine something so profound, so fundamental, that it changed the whole world...Think of something so revolutionary, that it forever changed the chemistry of the atmosphere, the chemistry of the oceans and the nature of life itself.” - Donald Canfield, Oxygen

This is what happened after earth was a fiery molten mass, after it was BOMBARDED BY OBJECTS FROM SPACE - FROM DISTANT PLACES. After the heavy bombardment, life began to development here on Earth. It developed through something “new” that we now call DNA. It formed single celled organisms that lived in the ocean because what else was there? The continents had yet to form. And also, the planet was too harsh for life to exist above the water. Harsh because of the sun, the nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.

But then, bacteria learned to USE THE SUN. Photosynthesis evolved, and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) delivered OXYGEN to Earth. “Their innovative water-eating, light-powered, oxygen-producing metabolism led them to become the most powerful force in the history of the planet” (Adam Frank’s Light of the Stars, pg. 116).

Over a few hundred million years, during what’s called the Great Oxidation Event, Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere developed, protecting life from the sun’s dangerous radiation, and most of the life that had existed up until that time? It died. It wasn’t built for this new world.

☆

At the end of A Trumpet Sounding, the special issue I shared in January, I described what the energetic creation of Heaven on Earth looks like to me. I described all these little lights rising above the surface of the earth, forming a lattice of golden light around the earth, kind of like - I’m realizing now - oxygen being sent up above the earth, the atmosphere transforming…

What’s transforming the air now, leading to disastrous climate change? Carbon dioxide and methane, altering the chemical makeup of our atmosphere.

What do we need more of, to heal our oceans and our atmosphere? Oxygen.

Oxygen…an atmosphere of golden light.

For the earth is currently experiencing deoxygenation.

☆

The organism that brought the oxygen was FEMALE. The birth of the feminine energy wave on earth that came from the stars…

It was sealed in the bodies of our high priestesses to be bearers of wisdom through the ages...

And the world needs its priestesses as it always has or else the earth will shrivel and die and the air will become toxic for man without our magic - which they stole - the earth would be not habitable.

Regardless of how factual the specifics of this message are or how closely they can be connected to our current scientific understanding of evolution and planetary events (and certain overlaps and echoes are clear), the truth seems to be (and this has been echoed to me in message after message after message over years) that embracing our “feminine” nature, our intuition, our magic is essential for healing and protecting the earth.

This lush green and blue world where oxygen looms in the sky, and we breathe freely, and life abounds.

I don’t understand how all of this works. I don’t know the facts or the science. I have ideas, notions I can trace, messages and studies I can connect, but I can’t PROVE TO YOU that this is true. I can only ask you to close your eyes, to take a deep breath, to place both hands on your chest and BREATHE and ask yourself what wants to come forth - what magic in you - wants to be expressed? Then simply follow it, trust it, see where it leads you.

☆

On this Pisces new moon, we are LED. We are guided to OPEN OURSELVES to greater truth and greater understanding. THE MEMORY HELD INSIDE OUR BODIES.

Memory - that funny thing that can come in all different shapes and sizes. That isn’t just a matter of direct and specific recall of an event that can be clearly described in words and seen in your mind in images. But memory as something bigger. Something that is sometimes just felt and known beyond all reasonable understanding...beyond all reasonable doubt.

On this new moon, Neptune conjuncts Venus (right by the sun, moon, and Rosa). In short, Neptune, Venus, the sun, the moon, and Rosa are all joining forces to HELP YOU REMEMBER. In Pisces, the sign of ALL THAT IS. The great river of memory.

You may need to lie down a bunch today. To let yourself feel and be and receive and remember.

On this new moon, YOU ARE BEING NURTURED AND HEALED.

Ceres (the mama nurturer) is perfectly conjunct Chiron in Aries. This brings a massive healing of your SELF in acccordance with the river of memory, the blooming of the rose -

Roses

All over the world

Roses

Opening

Radiating

Light.

☆

Our DNA is healing, repairing.

The whole Earth is remembering.

The Pisces new moon energy - this great blooming, an awakening akin to the one that started in May 2020 (when the worlds first split, when the roses first appeared in The Magic Guide - not consciously, not in the written words, but in the part of me that for some reason chose pictures of roses for every section of that issue) - what’s happening now is another great awakening - another LEVEL of awakening - that will be rippling through and acutely shaping the world from March 13th through March 27th, but it’ll keep on rippling through us all in larger ways we may not always be conscious of until the Pisces full moon in September, the full moon that marks a great unification of Earth as the asteroids GAEA (earth) and JUNO (unification) perfectly conjunct.

☆

The Virgo full moon on February 27th ushered in the birth of the COSMIC MOTHER, that ecstatic, creative, dark womb space within the universe or God or wherever this thing actually is that I have only ever seen/experienced/heard of beyond any human understanding of time and space, but this cosmic mother was delivered to the earth. Birthing now on the Pisces new moon a GIANT ENERGETIC WAVE OF DIVINE FEMININE ENERGY COMING TO EMBRACE THE EARTH, to aid with the great unification.

☆

In the days following the Pisces new moon, from March 12 - 20th, Mars finishes its transit through the Hyades, delivers the grand awakening that came through in last month’s surprise:

“Now, We are awake, awakening, receiving all that the golden gate had to give us, integrating it all INTO THE GREAT BODY.

Nothing will ever be the same.”

All of this is leading to the grand conjunction between Mars and the karmic north node of the moon (a.k.a. destiny point) in Gemini. This is happening on March 26th, but first:

☆

On March 15th, Mercury enters Pisces, joining the sun, Venus, and Neptune.

SO MUCH INFORMATION IS BEING EMBODIED AND REMEMBERED RIGHT NOW. I see myself (and others) holding our head, like we have a headache, like we’re all a bit overwhelmed by it, so make time to rest and BREATHE. Trust in the magic of breath, of oxygen, to move life through your body.

This Pisces Season feels intense when it comes to psychic awakening.

February brought the cosmic wisdom (courtesy of Aquarius) into your mind for thinking and knowing about things, but Pisces is delivering it to EVERY PART OF YOUR BEING. It’s like all that cosmic wisdom that’s been gestating inside you for the last three months is opening up at the same time, and energetically spreading itself out within your body, and I sense you’ll feel this more IN YOUR BODY and through FEELING than thinking.

The great unfolding, blooming, roses everywhere.

This is what integration looks like.

This is what all of these planets in Pisces deliver. Deep integration of your being into the web of all that is. Your energy rippling out into everything.

It was never wholly yours.

This doesn’t feel like a dissolution of boundaries in a problematic way, this feels like AN EXPANSION OF BEING.

Energetically

Physically

Through the invisible

To the visible

Onwards to the equilibrium, the unification, that lies ahead. 

Seeing now:

Y   O   U

________________

THE UNIVERSE

in perfect balance

☆

On March 20th, the sun moves from Pisces to Aries, and FIRE MOVES THROUGH THE WORLD.

ACTION.

MOVEMENT.

RAPID CHANGE.

This starts on the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere. Here, the day finds its balance between day and night, dark and light.

(see The Surprise for a special reading to listen to today.)

On this day, two major conjunctions are moving into alignment.

1. The south node (the past and purging) and the asteroid Gaea. This helps the earth LET GO of the past and what’s no longer serving it. This is really about the earth, not about us. How the earth will express this, we will see. This is based on where the earth is now - not where it was before. But I will say that this same aspect was present during the big solar storm of 2003. And generally speaking, strange geomagnetic occurrences are more common in March and October with the equinoxes. This is something I’ve observed in my own life (e.g., the TV turning on and off in March 2020 (which I described last month) and the massive flock of birds that flew straight towards me in October (more on this soon)), AND this is something that has been tracked and is known within the scientific community. (source)

   When I really tune into what this is about, it feels like we release our OLD WAYS of associating with the field around us in order to step into a new understanding. One coming with the Libra full moon.

   Gaea and the south node perfectly conjunct on March 22, 2021, but the conjunction will be in effect for days on either end of the 22nd.

2. The other major conjunction coming with the equinox is Jubilatrix and Jupiter. This brings AN EXPANSION OF JOY. And here’s the thing about all of these kind of earth-shaking, somewhat-scary messages: I sense that for the most part, WE ARE FINE, and THIS HELPS US. This is about sowing the joy, sowing the peace. This is just a process…not a snapping of the fingers. This big EXPLOSION OF JOY that we are building towards arrives on March 26th when Jupiter and Jubilatrix perfectly conjunct at 22°2’ Aquarius. 222. Everything’s on track.

☆

On March 21st, Venus moves into Aries, moves towards the sun, is about to conjunct the sun, is about to help us all TOTALLY HEAL our relationship with our SELVES and what this means about how we relate to the world.

YOU ARE ON FIRE!

In a good way.

Hearing: “She’s just a girl, and she’s on fire.” (watch)

☆

Oh, we got our feet on the ground
And we're burning it down
Oh, got our head in the clouds
And we're not coming down
This girl is on fire

☆

On March 26th, Jubilatrix and Jupiter perfectly conjunct at 22°2’, AND Mars and the destiny point perfectly conjunct at THIRTEEN degrees Gemini.

We are moving towards our destiny. With every step. We are not backing down. Full of fire. Full of grace.

Grace is a gift given often and easily. Again and again.

☆

There is a rose that lives inside you. At your solar plexus. Sometimes, its petals are burning. It is ablaze. But the rose remains intact. It cannot be scorched. It cannot be harmed. It is perfectly protected, perfectly divine, incapable of mutation, alteration, or harm. Whenever you are stressed or concerned or feeling out of sorts, close your eyes. Tune into this flower here - inside you. Notice how it looks, how it feels, from day to day. Breathe into this space inside your body where the rose is in bloom. Know and trust that everything is okay. You are completely held, protected, and guided - being guided still - towards the everlasting divine.

☆

The Libra full moon arrives on March 28th. It comes in the shape of a grand kite, pointing straight towards YOU. You and your healed self, perfectly in balance, perfectly you. UNIFIED.

See?

The Libra full moon radiates lines of energy. It trines Saturn in Aquarius, and it trines Mars and the destiny point in Gemini.

As it does this, Saturn and Mars and the north node reach towards each other, connecting their energy.

And all of them together - the full moon, Saturn, Mars, the destiny point - they all create a free flow of energy, circling an equilateral triangle, circling around itself again and again, spinning up dust, spinning up energy - IN THE AIR - and then thrusting all of that energy at YOU and at US.

This triad of AIR energy is directed towards a huge conjunction of the sun, Venus, and Chiron in Aries.

In fire!

And you know what happens when you send a bunch of air at fire right? Well, sometimes the wind FEEDS the fire, but other times, it blows it out.

*seeing a candle being blow out*

And you’re in the dark now.

It’s a balancing act.

The dark and light.

The fire and air.

To keep the fire burning, to keep the flame alive.

The Vestal Virgins who tended the flame at the temple of Vesta knew this all too well.

As did our forebears, who had yet to even take our form, who had yet to develop our complex cerebral cortex, but who did - some 1 to 2 million years ago - learn to start a fire. Likely learned to keep it going, maybe even started experiencing longer days, their waking hours no longer defined by the rise and fall of the sun.

On this full moon, the sun is healed. Our exchange of energy with the sun is healed. And YOUR exchanges with the world receive a big healing. How we as individuals RELATE to the world is healed.

The sun, Venus, and Chiron fall at 8 degrees of Aries. 8 8 8.

into infinity

Connecting to the Leo full moon coming on 8/8, marking the third and final conjunction of Juno (unification) and the south node (letting go of the past) within the cycle of unification. Juno and the south node conjuncting three times this year...at 8 degrees Sagittarius...more to come on all of this. I simply share this piece now to share that in order for the UNIFICATION to TAKE HOLD, some things will need to be released. The first south node/Juno conjunction happened with the storms that hit Texas, took out the power there. We have two more to go, and what happens with this Libra full moon is preparing us for what’s to come.

It’s strengthening us.

It’s balancing us.

It’s setting the stage for Jupiter’s first crossing of the 25th degree of Aquarius, for Jupiter to make that first stitch of 2021 in the blanket of peace. That big expansion towards peace.

This comes in early April.

Along with major conjunctions on April 6th before an earth-healing Aries new moon.

It all just flows forward from here.

At the end of March.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

The Great Doing is largely behind us now.

Now, we move deeper into THE WEAVING OF PEACE.

☆

On October 16, 2020, with the Libra new moon, I placed two roses - one red, one white - on the table, in the shape of a V.

*when I look back at the pictures of this ritual now, my crown goes crazy, tingling, something big is coming.*

Then, I picked up the roses, and I removed all the petals. I blended them together - the red and the white, the sun and the moon.

The next day, I walked the de-petaled stems to a plum tree in a nearby park. I gave them to the tree. I placed them there, by its roots, in the shape of a V.

marking the earth with the V for victory

Six days later, I was lying down to take a nap when suddenly my whole body felt like it was falling, rapidly falling down to the ground from the tenth floor where I lay. This kept happening. This intense falling sensation. Like everything was collapsing, exploding around me. Like the ground was falling out beneath me, and I was falling to the ground.

It terrified me. Every time. I didn’t understand it. I feared it meant something bad (read: very painful) was going to happen.

But on that day in October, when it happened again, I was struck with the strong knowing that I just had to get my body to ground level, and I had to return to the tree. So I did.

I shared this story in part in November, but we know more now, so I’m sharing this again - both for those of you who are new and for those of you who may appreciate the retelling within the context of all we know now:

As I walked to the park, I walked over golden leaves.

As I entered the park, I walked past a bench where seven birds were sitting in a row.

*Remember that there are seven sisters guarding either side of The Golden Gate. (see last month for more on this). And on this day in October, I walked through the gold and then saw a cluster of seven, just as Mars - at the end of March has moved through The Golden Gate and past the final cluster of seven stars.*

In October, in the energy of the Libra new moon, I walked to the plum tree. I stood beneath it, stood in the same spot where I’d left the V. The V for Victory. Victory because the Libra new moon had been perfectly conjunct the asteroid Victoria (named after both the Roman goddess of Victory and Queen Victoria).

The rose stems were no longer in the shape of a V. Now, they were in stacked in a pile of sticks. A pile that had been clearly, intentionally created. By whom? A human? A bird? A squirrel?

As I stood there looking at the pile of sticks and two rose stems, I turned my attention up. I looked up at the plum tree and its red leaves, noticed that there were no birds or squirrels in its branches or anywhere near me or any of the other trees. The green space where I stood was completely devoid of any immediately visible animal life - other than me.

Then, all of the sudden, I felt A HUGE RUSH OF WIND, THE POWER OF ONE HUNDRED BEATING WINGS RUSHING TOWARDS ME. I looked up and saw a massive flock of pigeons - 50 or more - flying towards me, coming down towards me, moving right by my body as they landed on the ground, encircling me and the tree.

Tears filled my eyes. I was overwhelmed by the immense power of the wind, the deep knowing inside that this was not some strange coincidence. This was real. This was happening. This was a message…

…I’ve since learned that pigeons are particularly exceptional at detecting the magnetic field. They have magnetic particles in their beaks that allow them to detect different magnetic fields. And that day - October 23, 2020 - they detected something different about mine - that falling sensation that sent me for a walk. And maybe - also - there was something different about the plum tree, the earth beneath it, the place on the ground where the V had been marked.

The great internal victory.

Culminating now.

Reflect back: What were you experiencing from 10/16/20 to 10/29/20?

It was just a precursor.

☆

After the birds, I decided to finally directly channel about the falling sensation I’d been experiencing for months. It was happening more and more, scaring me every time. While I’ll keep many of the details of what I now know about this to myself for now, I will share that I was told that the falling sensation was connected to my energy expanding. An expansion into the bigger body. What came through in The Message for February:

You are expanding INTO YOUR BODY

INTO THE BODY

THE WHOLE BODY IS EXPANDING

I was resisting my expansion into the body. The feeling of falling? This was just my resistance. It was me trying to stay small, keep myself in the circumference of energy I’d grown accustomed to. But, if instead of recoiling when my energy expanded, I instead breathed into it, opened myself to it, let myself be big, then - I was told - the falling sensation would stop.

So that’s what I started to do. Every time I started to feel like I was falling (which was happening just about every time I lay down), I instead just breathed and visualized my energy expanding out as far as I felt myself falling. As I did this, the falling sensation immediately stopped.

Everything that’s happening now is big. It can be scary. You may feel yourself resisting it in a number of ways. It: the explosion of ethereal energy, the expansion of golden light, the absorption of yourself into the greater body, you absorbing more of the greater body into yourself.

It’s all happening in the invisible layers, but it shows up in the visible. In the TV magically turning on and off, in the birds flying, in the polar vortex splitting, in everything else you have seen that I have not.

As we continue to expand - the atmosphere adjusting - there’s no telling exactly what all the short term consequences will be, but the more we can surrender to it, let ourselves expand into the greater body instead of recoiling, the less scary and easier this expansion will feel.

The more blessed.

The more free.

The more joyous.

The more peaceful.

Because that is what it is. Everything else? All the scary, unpleasant stuff? It’s just temporary, and what’s coming, what’s really here is this:

What I channeled in December, in the year-ahead reading for this month of March. Inspired not by any conscious knowing that this was the month of the Libra full moon - thus the expansion of the Libra new moon with the V - but instead, I was guided by the imagery in the tarot card from the specific deck I happened to use. The image of the woman, the light shining on her face, forming the shape of a V:

“This is the energy of Victory. Yin energy (downward pointing V) victory. You have surrendered and trusted yourself. YOU LET YOURSELF RECEIVE. You let yourself be guided. Now, you hold in your hands: your victory.”

☆

In February, my husband - completely out of nowhere - suggested we watch The Da Vinci Code. As we did, my mind was blown because so many of the symbols that have come through me for The Magic Guide were in the movie! Including the Diamond - the downward facing V and the upward facing V - and also the hexagram (described just as I described it: complete unification). And - to my great surprise - the movie was all about the rose.

(Pause reading here or skip to the next star if you’d rather watch and see for yourself. SPOILERS AHEAD.)

During the movie, the main characters are looking at Da Vinci’s The Last Supper, and they are shown the shape of a V.

Between Mary Magdalene and Jesus - their bodies tilted away from each other just so, just like the rose stems (touching at one end, veering away at the other) - Da Vinci painted the shape of a huge V. (See for yourself.)

In the movie (as in the book), the V represents the holy grail, the chalice, the FEMININE - the downward facing V for yin energy. Specifically, in The Da Vinci Code, the V represents THE WOMB. Women’s ability to create life, and in this instance - in this story - specifically Mary Magdalene’s womb and the descendants of Jesus Christ.

In The Da Vinci Code - which, to be clear, is highly researched fiction - Mary Magdalene (and her descendants) is the holy grail, and in the movie, the symbol for this - for the holy grail and the femininity and secrecy surrounding it - is The Rose.

The rose - a bloodline, a trail of descendants. 

Something else that Cora said that night in August: You are one of the priestesses as have many of the women been in our line - it skips generations.

She laid out the names for me. The first names of the women. There were seven, including myself.

The next day, I checked my mom’s extensive ancestral records to confirm a more recent name that I didn’t recognize. (The two earliest names are earlier than our records, so unable to be confirmed.) But the woman who was searchable was named Eva.

I found an Eva in my family tree from the 1700s. She lived in a town in Pennsylvania that I’d strangely dreamt about in June. Her last name was Magdalene. (It was previously unbeknownst to me that this was in any way a family name.)

Now…to be clear…I am not saying that I now believe I am a descendant of Jesus Christ! Or that I believe The Da Vinci Code. What I am saying is that there are very strange synchronicities.

Something is happening, and I don’t have all the answers.

What I know is that Cora came to me and delivered the message. She spoke of a great feminine energy and power, a secret sealed in a line of women’s bodies. Much like DNA is passed down from one person to the next, especially mtDNA, which is passed through the mother. And interestingly, when I searched the line of names Cora gave me, it wasn’t straight. It was more like a web within my ancestry, and truly, we are all connected, all related. Any one person’s ancestry is just a snapshot of a much larger web that we are all a part of, all of it leading back to mitochondrial Eve, the woman, the womb, the V, who connects us all.

The birth of the cosmic mother.

WE ARE ALL CONNECTED, including - however distantly - to the once living, human man named Jesus.

And in The Da Vinci Code, there is a line of roses through time - the Rose Line - which represents the descendants, the humanity of Jesus, and the highly significant yet hidden role women have played in baring his tradition.

Hilariously, it wasn’t until I started channeling this section here and sharing about the movie that I realized why Spirit wanted to start this month’s story with these words: I mapped a trail of roses through time.

☆

I finished mapping the trail of roses (to date) in my blue journal.

Just as I finished, the doorman rang. My husband was in the shower, so I answered and was told: “There’s a flower delivery here for you.”

“There is?!” I was completely surprised.

Excited, I went downstairs to collect the flowers.

They were waiting for me on the table.

Twelve red roses from The Mini Rose Co (of all florists).

I couldn’t see my face, but I could feel it: full of joy, gratitude, excitement.

I read the note in the elevator, realized they were from my husband. “Of course!” I remembered. “It’s Valentine’s Day.” So roses weren’t wholly unexpected, but what were the odds? That they just happened to arrive right after I suddenly felt called to sit down and reflect on all of the ways roses have magically shown up in my life? That they just happened to arrive right as I finished mapping the trail?

These roses now in my hand: the next marker. I added them to the list.

And my husband got out of the shower. “Oh finally! It’s so late, I worried they weren’t going to get here!”

But they did. They arrived. All the roses, together.

I removed the cardboard box from around the vase, noticed that the vase was gold.

“Perfect timing!” I told him, then gave him a kiss. “Happy V-Day!”

I grinned a big grin, and he laughed a little bit - as he always does at my immense enthusiasm.

“Happy V-Day.”

I was lying on the couch, one day after finishing this story, four days before it was scheduled to go out.

I was lying on the couch, resting, watching TV, when my phone - on the wooden coffee table in front of me - started buzzing, its vibrations sent down through the surface of the wood, sound waves radiating out towards me, entering my ear, my brain, causing me to pick it up, see who was calling.

The number on the screen read: 424-4242.

I sat upright. 42. 42? What’s 42?

I googled, “asteroid 42.”

Isis, I said her name quietly.

Then I looked up at the space around me - all that empty but not actually empty air. I remembered the day before, shuffling my goddess deck, the Isis card flying out. I’d had the deck for years, and I couldn’t recall ever getting her card before.

As I looked at her image - the crown on her head and the words beneath her - “This situation involves your past-life memories.” - the soles of my feet began to tingle.

And as I looked at the missed call on my phone and all the repeating numbers - 424-4242 - the soles of my feet began to tingle again. I felt a jolt of electricity through my body. The truth of something so big suddenly becoming clear - because Isis had, in her way, been coming up for months.

I started to breathe faster and faster.

The Virgo full moon was coming. I looked back at my notes from September, from the Virgo new moon, and I saw in my journal the sticker I’d peeled off a golden apple and stuck on the page. The number on the sticker: 4020. 42. On this full moon, the sun is in the same place as the asteroid Ra-Shalom. Ra, from the Ancient Egyptian sun god.

Isis, the Ancient Egyptian goddess whose magical powers were thought to be unrivaled, unrivaled because of what she learned from Ra.

Isis, who elevated women throughout Ancient Egyptian society, all in service of harmony, balance.

Isis, whose mysteries were stored in ancient practices and secret rites carried out by her followers - high priestesses and priests. Their practices spread throughout Ancient Greece and Rome, her mysteries enfolding themselves within the Eleusinian Mysteries, and then - or so some people say - certain aspects of Isis and her mysteries were enfolded into Christianity.

Isis, who was sometimes known as the Queen of Heaven - a name now granted to Mother Mary. Mary, who’s associated with the rosary and…the rose.

Isis, who in Ancient Rome was associated with...the rose.

Where is Isis?

Asteroid 42 is in Pisces.

I entered the date for the Pisces new moon - the thirteenth of March - and gasped.

The Pisces new moon isn’t just in the same place as the asteroid Rosa...it’s conjunct Isis too. The sun, the moon, the rose, and Isis. All in unison, in perfect harmony.

The wisdom, ready to return.
