Rule of Law, Humanity & Self Rule – Regulus, the Royal Law Giver

As the US president issues Rule of Law in Washington, D.C., we are in the month of Leo and under the royal star, Regulus, the heart of Leo. Regulus is a star of first magnitude, and the star through which Sirius (Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom flows, the star that directs and guides humanity and specifically the United States).

Regulus is the Royal Ruler, the Lawgiver. Its significance is that it holds a spiritual law that man (“man” is Sanskrit for “thinker”) is to become “self-ruled,” a law unto himself.  Within each human there is the capacity to self-rule (for the Good). To be a ruler (king/queen), kind, loving, caring.

Hidden within Regulus is a group of stars called the “sickle.” The ancient Initiates/Rishis, who comprehended the essence within all stars and planets, saw these stars as symbols of an unfolding drama in heaven and on earth, a drama vaster than they could understand.

Regulus in Leo, and its cluster of stars convey three major ideas for humanity to understand: 1) man is a ruler (steward) of the kingdoms and the Son of God; 2) man is governed by the laws of nature (Rule of Law) which is a spiritual law to which all are bound by and subject to; 3) our (humanity’s) work is with the sickle, to cut out all that hinders one from living within and applying the spiritual laws of nature so that the Soul of peoples, countries and nations can come forth. Regulus, one of the four Archangelic stars in the heavens, is called the Watcher of the North, offering four “words” to humanity – purity, love, dedication and service. When one adapts these, one has attained four of the qualities of the White Magician. 

In 2011-2012 Regulus, while maintaining its essential Leo energies, moved from 29 degrees Leo to 0 degrees Virgo, sign of purification for humanity. In ancient wisdom texts it is written that Regulus will bring about a situation wherein the reorientation of the legal system will take place. Its functions and duties will become purposeful and useful for the world and legislation for the care and protection of the children of the world will be the law’s motivating power. This legal step will be primarily advocated by the United States of America. We see these events occurring now, 2025. Leaders who are true leaders bring forth the true Rule of Law for the welfare and good of the people.

ARIES: There’s an increase of creativity when relating to children and to those you love and are intimate with, also when you enter into the arts, play games and look in the mirror. Simultaneously, the past calls to you to make plans for your future. Responsibility looms over everything in your life. Goodwill too because love has a hold on you like never before. Just one important counsel – no risk taking, no gambling.

TAURUS: All things concerning home and partner, family and foundation, past nurturance and present, mother and father and tending to where you live comes up for thoughtful assessment. The shadow of Mercury retro continues ‘til the end of August. The present times call for new planning and purpose and the next new moon asks what will you do and how long will it take to make decisions in need of completion? You seek to have a plan for the future. It is a time of unknowing yet to be.

GEMINI: What are you thinking? Are you sleeping? Are ideas being impressed upon your mind concerning your present/future? There is a bit of organizing that needs doing. Is that at work or at home? And there’s some communication with someones that need communicating. What is it about? Did something from the past appear — a feeling, situation, a memory, a person? You must ponder the future seriously (Sirius). It won’t be what you expect. Prepare for surprises.

CANCER: Resources and money will be deeply considered with new ideas on how to use your finances productively. It’s possible a new value system emerges due to your knowledge of the present world situation. As the current chaotic times present you with new ideas and direction, observe any changes in your thinking concerning resources, their availability, source, and how you express yourself through them. Have cash on hand. Invest in real things (land, greenhouse, coins, etc.).

LEO: Happy Birthday to all Leos this month. How has it been to have the Mercury retrograde in your sign (now moving forward)? Leo is so potent that it contains three fires and this fiery energy streams toward you from the heart of the Sun into your heart. They are creating many changes and a lasting ending to parts of your past no longer useful. Your gifts are many (leadership, creativity, care of children, etc.) and needed by humanity. Recognize and cultivate them. Take a vow as a world disciple.

VIRGO: The Leo planets (Sun/Mercury) are resting and behind the scenes offering you retreat, shelter, haven, refuge and deep contemplation. Also, spirituality and the opportunity to listen for the voice of God. Maybe some of Leo has crept into your self-identity, too. This time for rest and relaxation continues so you can gather all strands of the past, and assemble them into what could be new work and new daily life agendas. When things are a bit chaotic, you’re able to form new harmonies from any disruptions and conflicts.

LIBRA: Mars (planet of action) is in your sign. And so, this is a most important time to review future wishes, hopes and dreams. Take time away from work and family responsibilities, from relationships and social interactions, and, in solitude, interact with your inner self. You need reacquainting with real goals, desires and aspirations, priorities and true values. The planets are shedding intense light on these issues. They shape the quality and excellence of your future, the success of which depends upon you developing Goodwill with everything and everyone you encounter. 

SCORPIO: Transformations in thinking and communicating. Now focus on daily life, too. Read and follow Libra’s instructions. Then be aware that your two rulers (Mars the tester and Pluto the transformer) are challenging you to discipleship. This challenge will be reflected and thus felt in your life with family and with your inner spiritual life. On inner levels you may be challenged to learn how to bring more harmony and goodness, more resources and kindness into your life. Hint: give, give and give some more. Then love some more, too.

SAGITTARIUS: Creativity is calling to you loud and clear. And so. maybe if you’re very observant, you’ll have the sense you’ve awakened from a deep sleep, and suddenly all you’ve longed for (others, adventure, travel, change, opportunities) may be available. And then you’ll have to make choices (not easy) about what actually enriches your sense of creative identity; how best to explore the recesses of your mind, heart and the world; and what perspectives are seeking to infiltrate your very being. It’s all in the stars.

CAPRICORN: As the last weeks of summer unfold, as Leo and Sirius flow into your heart, you easily move toward deep friendship and intimacy with loved ones. Intimacy isn’t just another word for sex. It means love and wisdom, contact (releases love) and sharing, giving and receiving, nurturing and nourishing, tending toward and moving closer to all that you love. This is an opportunity this week and the next three months. Have the intention to work consciously with and under this divine influence. The outcome is surprising. It leads to a state of bliss.

AQUARIUS: With all communication in the coming weeks and months, remember to use tones of kindness, care, nurturance and goodwill. It’s possible, as Saturn is your first ruler, that you can sound harsh (not meaning to). You will be communicating more with others due to an emphasis in your house of communication. It will affect daily life relationships, love affairs and all things artistic and creative. Remember to be thoughtful and radiate kind-heartedness. Let these define you and your ways of interacting and communicating. This is the most important guidance one could receive.

PISCES: Self-identity, creativity, health and work needs must be focused upon as you simultaneously consider what parts of the past to keep, what to eliminate and what ideas are forming concerning beginning new projects. Tend to health very carefully for the next three months. Work in creating a new work environment out of the old and create a rhythm of daily tasks, including exercise and study. You will attempt to bring harmony out of the chaos (a creative state) of continual change. Ask your angels for assistance. They are surprising and helpful beings of light.
