Monthly Festivals
"True interpretation will come and true healing in all departments of human living through a proper understanding of the available potencies and energies pouring into the planet at any particular time", Esoteric Astrology, p.353, by AAB
"..astrology is bound to become one of the major sciences of the future, and when this is so, the control of the personality will be scientifically carried forward; full use will be made of the planetary influences and the energies coming from the signs as they cyclically make their appearence, and special effort will be made, for instance, to gain certain aspects of control during the month in which the Sun is in the Sign..." Esoteric Astrology p.278 by AAB
We can respond to influences in two ways: as personalities expressing the material side of life or as soul-infused personalities expressing the spiritual side of life.

Three Spiritual Festivals - Aries, Taurus, Gemini.
Aries
Aries, the FIRST of the three Major Spiritual Festivals, marks the beginning of the Spiritual year and is said to be "the birthplace of divine ideas". For most of us, these ideas might be old ones already sensed, but now they can be given that extra impetus (will) to be expressed and come to fruition. The will to look at one's experience so far and have a clearer picture of where one should be going is enhanced. Our thoughts can be corralled and brought under control. One can see more clearly. No one can escape these influences. All of humanity is involved, and evolution proceeds apace. The thought to bear in mind as we allow ourselves to respond to the influences of will and vision.The keynote is... "I come forth, and from the plane of mind I rule".

Taurus
The SECOND of the three Major Spiritual Festivals of the year. Known as the Wesak Festival.Taurus is the symbol of DESIRE in all its phases. Is my present attitude, my work, or my intention actuated by personality desire, or am I working and planning under soul urge and incentive? The LIGHT of illumination and revelation. The true vision appears. The way forward for the benefit of others. An excellent opportunity to sense and use the key to right human relations - Goodwill. Concerns for the health and well-being of the physical body of self/humanity.
The keynote is... "I see, and when the Eye is opened, all is light."

Gemini
The THIRD of the three Major Spiritual Festivals of the year. It governs the arms, hands, etheric body, oxygenation of the blood, the nervous system, and the thymus gland (endocrine of the heart). Fluidity, recognition of duality, and soul control. A subjective influence produces the necessary changes for spiritual development, which is a significant opportunity to ALLOW the prevailing energies to flow through and circulate to others. The energy of our solar system, LOVE, dominates.The keynote is... "I recognise my other self, and in the waning of that self, I grow and glow."

Cancer
The unfoldment of the personality life, specifically the emotional body is now enabled. The psychic nature and the form feel the influence. The distinction between the soul and personality (producing a conflict) may be easily recognised. Now is when Aries, Taurus, and Gemini energies can consciously guide the personality - the mental, emotional and physical bodies. The opportunity to build a personality full of light and express that light can now be most usefully undertaken.The Keynote of Cancer is ... "I build a Lighted House and therein dwell." May your house be full of Light.

The time of the NEWL Moon is on Tuesday, 14th July 2026, at 09:44:12 GMT.
Leo
The influence of Leo is that of illumination by the Light of the Soul. The will to rule, control and dominate through knowledge forpersonality (selfish) ends or for the benefit of others (soul activity). The personality awakens to soul control and expresses soul-will, desire and intent. The Lion has come forth -self-assured with a will, desire and intent to help others. The personality, too, is strengthened and shows its activity in selfish administering to the self. Therefore, it is a great time to be OPEN to the soul. A time of crisis - recognition of another influence.
By linking up with the worldwide group over the next few days, we can help anchor these energies on the planet for humanity.
The keynote is ....."I am That, and That am I."

The time of the NEW Moon is on Wednesday, 12th August 2026, at 17:37:49 GMT.
Virgo
In Virgo, we have the opportunity to become more aware of the relationship between our outer "worldly" self and the inner "spiritual" self - the soul.The available energies enhance the mind's recognition of this duality or distinction. As we each try to express our soul qualities, we are helping humanity express the qualities of Light, Love, and the Will to good—our contribution to the greater whole. Perhaps we can also get a glimpse or understanding of the purpose of the personality, i.e., preparing itself to express one's spiritual knowledge and, at the same time, nurturing those spiritual possibilities.
The Keynote is ..."I am the mother and the child. I, God, I, matter am."
