Souledout.org's Meditation Focus theme for 2009 continues as we enter the Virgo full moon cycle.
Beginning five months ago in Aries, we have been exploring Divine Identification and the Secret of Creation. During the 2009 spring festival cycle, we attuned to the inflow of energies through the Spiritual Kingdom and aligned with this focus. Now, as we continue through the yearly cycle, we are endeavoring to assimilate the new impressions and to integrate these into our service in the world.
We invite all to join us as we continue the Divine Identification Meditation theme for 2009, to embody our awareness of the zodiacal energies of the Lighted Way.
This month, as an interlude following the outpouring of the past five festival full moons, we are taking a haitus from the daily online Calendar focus.

2009 Virgo Meditation Theme
The Virgo cycle offers an opportunity for each person in the Holy Grail ~ the Sacred Chalice, planet Earth’s Light Grid ~ to further participate in the distribution of the Life which in turn implements the Divine Plan on Earth. The constellation Virgo itself holds the hidden Holy Grail in the night sky, and as the Sun traverses the sign Virgo, we are able to tap into this energy towards advancing our service.
Virgo ~ the Virgin ~ symbolizes the form nature. Soul and body are blended in Virgo, and we're told they are of great importance to each other: "matter guards, cherishes and nurtures the hidden soul." (1) The following additional notes from Bailey's discussion of Virgo in Estoteric Astrology are helpful to consider.
• Virgo also represents the Hidden Light of God.
• Virgo is the guardian of the light of wisdom.
• Virgo is, therefore, the opposite pole of spirit and stands for the relation of these two after they have been brought together .... "
• Virgo is ... the cosmic mother because she represents cosmically the negative pole to positive spirit; she is the receptive agent where the Father aspect is concerned.
• ... Virgo "involves the service of the immediately present" or in other words ... God immanent evokes reaction from the form side and is thereby served. (2)
The Hierarchy, Deity, and the Great Lodge of Sirius are calling on each of us to act wisely, as revealed through the Leo~Sirius Full Moon Festival. It is here in Virgo that the intentional uniting of sprit and matter occurs. In creating the form, Divinity planted the seed in Virgo. Through our working with the form, the end result is the Sacred Form ~ ultimately, the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
Virgo
~ The blended dual Light.
Two
lights are seen ~ bright and strong, the light of form;
one faint and dim, the light of God. This light is distinguished
by a waxing of one and the waning of the other.
It differs from the light in Gemini. (3)

Full Moon in Virgo ~ Pisces Guidance in preparing for this meditation
We mentally link up with people of goodwill everywhere, as part of the united group channel through which the spiritual forces can become available. Affirming this channel, "We stand poised united as One Soul with our Spiritual Hierarchy." We hold the focus. We now visualize and become the Chalice we have created together as a grid of light all over the earth that connects the light of every lightworker and each sacred energy vortex. This network serves as a conduit through which the heavenly blessings may flow through every one of us and to the planet Earth. When we have achieved this ...

The Lighted Way The entire zodiac can be approached and understood from the angle of light ~ the inner light, soul light ~ and its unfolding, increasing radiance is the manifestation of our divine nature. (5) Study of the 12 different lights for each of the constellations of the zodiac reveals the symbolic story of the growth of the light body within the Soul of Humanity (the Macrocosm) and within each of us (the Microcosm), and will finally make clear the very purpose of God.
7 Ways to Enlightenment There are seven grades of focused intention in meditative work, leading to results of a creative nature. (6)
Virgo Zodiacal Deity Virgo, the cosmic mother, imparted to humanity her sacred gift of love ~ the birth of the Christ consciousness in the human heart.
Virgo Labor of Hercules The sixth great test of Hercules in Virgo was to obtain the girdle of Hippolyte, representing unity achieved through struggle and conflict. Hercules failed but then redeemed himself, as is the case with every human being in the attempt to become spiritual.
Night Sky ~ Moon Dances During each lunar cycle the Moon, waxing and waning, journeys through the zodiac. It partners with and enlivens the sparkling stars and glowing planets along the way. As the Moon grows in the light provided by our Sun, we too grow in the light of our Soul.
A new lunar cycle begins August 20 and a strong Sirian conduit is established for the building of a humanitarian world. Saturn and Mercury awaken our integrity, honesty and leadership. The Virgin nurtures the seed that grows a sacred form. Lunar Theme: Personal Integrity Builds a Humanitarian World, Creates a Sacred Planet
August 27-28 First Quarter Luna nestles near a fiery heart and a burning ground is activated. August 29-30 ride with the cosmic Archer toward the light of the inclusive Galactic Heart, then journey along a cosmic river and travel through a transformational gateway! September 1-7 Large Luna visits 3 planets and humankind's ideals and compassion are awakened; new unconventional energies are freeing themselves from the conformity of the past and a significant turning point is arriving 11 days after the September 4th Full Moon. September 12-16 predawn's gems and jewels bring about the interaction of opposing forces for a global rebirth that is seeded with integrity, service and love-wisdom. Celebrate the birthing process with all of its pains and labors of love!

Preparation for Participation in This Meditation Focus
If at all possible, we suggest being in meditation at the exact time of the full moon. If you are unable to do this, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to align with these energies and be part of this global meditation.
Prior to your meditation take the needed time to create a sacred space and spiritually align your energies.
Consider what is the appropriate way to join in this meditation ... you may wish to participate in group formation on the physical plane as well as on the inner planes. Whether or not you choose to be "alone" on the physical plane, know you are uniting with many others who also are attuning to the energies available at this Global Festival, and that this group focus creates a powerful channel for the meditation to be potent and effective.
The Full Moon Festivals Culminate over a Five-Day Period ...
Our meditation focus beginning at the new moon leads into the two "days of preparation" immediately preceding the full moon. These are to be dedicated to spiritual reflection and detachment from everyday concerns, as each prepares to become a vessel for the energies of light and love they will receive and channel. At this time we hold the attitude of dedication and service, and seek to assume that attitude of receptivity to that which our soul will impart which will make us of spiritual use.
The day of the full moon itself is the "day of safeguarding," one of inner peace and silence during which we attempt to contact and consciously hold the energies for the rest of humanity. We will not formulate for ourselves what will happen, nor will we look for results or tangible effects. While one may not observe the exact moment when the moon is full, it's important to find some quiet time to reflect alone or use this opportunity to meditate with others of like mind and focus.
The two succeeding days are called the "days of distribution." We now turn the attention outwards, away from ourselves, and our efforts are to pass on the spiritual energies that have been contacted. We assist these spiritual energies, transformed into goodwill, in flowing to where there is greatest need.
We now continue to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious day of the full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain inner peace, a time of spiritual retreat and contact. If you wish, feel free to continue use of this meditation for the entire month of Virgo.
The Full Moon Cycle We Are Observing ...
From new moon to new moon, Thursday, August 20 through Friday, September 18, 2009.
