Sacred Star Astrology

In 2005, when Uranus was transiting through Aquarius in my star chart’s Ninth House, I experienced an extraordinary shift in astrological consciousness. It occurred during a Spirit Journey, during which I surprisingly fell asleep. When I awoke I could only remember the feeling of it. I knew I had experienced something profound, so I decided to sit in front of my computer with my fingers ready. I hoped that writing would jog my memory. It sure did. The entire experience flooded my heart and mind. I was back in it, seeing and remembering everything. Here’s how it went:

At the very beginning of my Spirit Journey, it was as if something was approaching me from within a misty place that lie at the edge of my consciousness. I became aware of a very unique presence. I felt like I was in the company of someone with strikingly powerful awareness. Slowly, the apparition became clear, and I was surprised to see a bizarre looking entity with ancient Egyptian clothing standing attentively before me. This being felt more male than female.
His appearance so different, he seemed to have walked out of a world that was light years away. Standing on two legs with the adorned head of a jackal, he seemed like a human-fox hybrid. His statuesque body was strong and lean, and his refusal to depart from his genuineness made him stand out as extremely dignified. I found myself wanting to learn how to be as authentic, whereby I lived my truth like he did.
His steady eyes, tall pointed ears, and long graceful nose suggested he didn't miss a thing. He felt strangely familiar and I oddly found myself trusting him. He was Anubis.
Without uttering a word, Anubis transported me to sun-lit grounds outside an Egyptian temple. The building's architecture felt like a symphony shaped in stone. I followed him through an archway of flowers. Passing through the sweet scent of jasmine, I left the piercingly bright desert behind and found my self in a room of total blackness. Disoriented, I didn't know where I was or where the walls were, and there seemed to be no up or down. In the heavy silence, I stood waiting, until a soft whisper swirled around my ears, “The Chamber of Darkness."
That was my cue to move, and as my eyes adjusted, I was lead down a dimly lit long corridor. Shadows lurked here in the dankness. The place seemed to be inhabited by gross sticky energies that had been discarded in years long past. They crept along the walls of the passageway, looking for something to grab and cling on to. Their presence pulled at me like parasites looking for a host. The air had a stifling quality to it, as if it were somehow being caught and held back by an invisible force.
Still trying to get my bearings in this eerie corridor, I hesitated. I felt very alone. ”What is this place?" An image of hurdles, like those seen on an athletic track, appeared in my mind’s eye. “The Hallway of Limitations,” came the whisper again.
It was my task to jump over the hurdles that lay before me. There was something strange about them, too, as if they had labels on them, like: “My Fear of Loss and Failure, “My Dread About Not Doing Things Right,” “My Worries About Not Being Liked,” “My Fear of Being Alone, and “My Reluctance to Embrace Change and Walk Into The Unknown.” These were big obstacles to me and I could sense how they kept me from feeling free and adventurous. Anubis was honest with me. I could go no further with him unless I stopped imprisoning myself in these limiting fears.
So I had a choice. I could stop squelching my Spirit and run over the hurdles or I could go back into hiding and let my fears run me. There was no judgment or pressure from Anubis. The decision was mine and would be honored as sacred. It was a moment of truth for me. Either way, I would find out exactly where I was with my own willingness to grow and transform.
I was tired of being held back by fear. What kind of life would I lead if I didn’t go for it? That thought of that was painful. The pain of not living the life I wanted was bigger than the fear that I needed to face and overcome.
So I went for it, and down the corridor I ran, meeting each fear as it came, leaping over each one. The more I leapt the easier the hurdle-jumping became. I would have more inner work to do, but my running forward was giving me the momentum I needed to move beyond my fears.
The darkness receded and I came upon a rectangular room with a high ceiling. Bright ribbons of lights freely danced about in the open space, “The Chamber of Colors.” The vaporous snake-like pastels swirled into a stunning blue-green holographic image of the Earth. Beyond beautiful the image broke up into a stream-like flow of quantum particles that quickly shape-shifted into a huge shimmering dragonfly.
Suspended in air, the fluorescent insect hovered over me, its wings beating loudly in a rapid rhythmic manner. Mesmerized, I watched it, and a deep booming gravelly sound thundered under me. The entire chamber filled with increasing pressure, pumping in and out like it had lungs. Just as my chest was about to burst, my breathing re-regulated, and bizarre sensation buzzed through me. A high-powered current ran through me, so intense my mind couldn’t stay with it. I seemed somehow caught in two polarized oscillations that were tugging me apart. The upper half of me was vibrating with the high-pitched winged movements of the dragonfly while the lower half was shaking with the great thumping from below. Stretched to the point of popping, I swayed dizzily back and forth, until a third undulating frequency finally emerged and pulled me into a delightful state of being. With much relief, I soared into a kind of stillness and smoothness that pilots experience when they soar past the speed of sound. As if a hidden world were suddenly uncloaked, I was standing in “The Chamber of Planetary Alignment and Awareness.”
The chamber, alive and softly pulsating, was shaped by smooth massive stone walls. Hanging mid-air in the middle of the room was a floating solar system. Planets and moons appeared in the shapes of round stones and orbited about the central Sun Rock.
Following at his elbow, Anubis took me to various places throughout the chamber. From each position, he indicated for me to reach out and sense at a very subtle level the energy field of the solar system. As I turned my attention to sense the field, I was captivated by the unique beauty and harmony of its steady “hum.”
Anubis then instructed me to sense the vibration of every stone, each one holding the distinct vibration of a different Sky Being. As I did, I became very aware of how each entity had its own identifying vibratory signature in the universe. It became clear that the Sun, Moon, and each of the planets radiate unique bodies of information through their signature vibration. This information included knowledge about their specific characteristics and energies. These were their gifts that they freely shared with the universe.
Anubis gracefully moved around the floating solar system and stopped by every Sky Being. While standing by him, I aligned with each one and noticed how different each position felt. Each Being stimulated different images, sensations, feelings, and thoughts, and like a radar, I was able to receive and perceive its specific consciousness.
Although the journey had come to an end, it was really the beginning of a journey into another wondrous level of astrological perception. In transcending fear and limitations, I was able to see the Sky Beings in a whole new way. Anubis, the Keeper of the Temple of The Sky, had touched my consciousness and gave me a whole new spiritual basis for understanding star knowledge.
