In the beginning of time, the sky goddess Nut gave birth to life. She stretched herself over the sun, moon, stars and people of the Pharoah.
Infamous for their wisdom of geometry, mathematics and astronomy-all being a basis for the 5,000-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza-one of ancient Egypt’s greatest feats was a lunar-based calendrical system.
The moon symbolized female and male qualities as it both receives and emits the sun’s light. And as the moon reflects the sun, the human reflects the divine.
The mysterious pyramids are now being regarded as not only monuments to queens and kings but to the stars themselves. The perfect composition of these four-sided spectacles echo the three major stars’ placement in Orion’s belt.
Divinations on the stars were broken into three parts: whether the day would be favorable, a mythological event describing the day’s fortune and the behavior associated with that day.
A revitalizing lunar eclipse next Monday trails last Monday’s solar eclipse.
This event is symbolized by the death-god Set stealing the eye of Horus (the moon) from its celestial home.
Thoth, god of wisdom and learning, searches in darkness until he finds the eye and restores illumination to the night sky.
Tonight Horus’s eye still looks upon on us with favor but it is time to prepare for it to “wink.” Don’t rely on fortune as earth spins its way toward darkness.
Eclipses portend an eternal cycle of loss and regeneration.
People who fail to learn from recent predicaments will repeat hardships until the next time Horus loses his eye. Those who let go and move forward will be blessed.
