Full Moon in the Wesak Valley

Thursday is the Buddha Full Moon Taurus Wesak Festival. A great legend says that at the time of the full moon the great “Knowers of Divinity” gather from the many worlds to greet the Buddha who, once a year, at the exact time of the April full moon and for eight minutes afterward, streams into Earth a blessing from Shamballa, home of our God, Sanat Kumara, Regent from Venus. The blessing transmits Divine Will, Purpose, Love & Wisdom to humanity. Buddha (Wisdom) and Christ (Love) work in unison during this festival.

More than 2000 years ago the Buddha brought light to the East while the Christ brought Love/Wisdom to the West. These two Brothers continue to work together serving humanity, particularly during the Wesak festival. At the very moment of the moon, to the words of the Great Invocation, the energy body of the Buddha slowly precipitates down to a level very close to the physical plane. A powerful vibration is felt in the crowd. The Will and Love of the Father is sent forth, fusing and blending Earth’s kingdoms. All ‘waters of life” are blessed, the world awakens; light rises over the horizon and hovers above the crowd. It is the Great Lord Buddha bringing a blessing to the world. This is the supreme spiritual moment of the entire year. And now we begin the three days of Safeguarding.

Here’s the Wesak challenge for you directly from the Buddha. To establish harmony with co-workers, create Right Relations that have integrity and truth. To have social activities centered around work. To associate happiness and pleasure with work. To help others, create a cooperative spirit. Your deepest and highest level of success comes when you use your talents to create balance and harmony in all endeavors.

Capricorn December 21–January 20
This is a greatly expressive time for you. What you can and perhaps are already expressing is love coupled with playfulness and a little drama. Drama is good if it’s done well with humor.

It makes you beautiful. It’s actually fun!

Something important is occurring with your home. Perhaps you’re moving or simply staying home more, unable to leave for it’s most comfortable there. You’re concerned with the art and aesthetics of home, the amount of space you have, if the atmosphere is peaceful and loving. Some Aquarians may build a dwelling outside their homes – under a tree, a fire pit alongside, seeking to be in-tune with nature, able to see the stars at night.

Pisces February 19–March 20
Many people think Pisces are a bit dreamy. But actually Pisces has another side. It’s very analytical and mathematical. Very potent with power and purpose. Very intelligent and filled with thoughts and plans that can save the world. Pisces finds value in the exchange of ideas, especially if they contain humor, things literary, theatrical and artistic and if the art of diplomacy is apparent. It’s important to talk truthfully with siblings. They will understand.
