entrusted with the responsibility of working with subtle energies believed themselves to be more important than the buildings themselves and began to manipulate the energy of the sites unleashing a global chain reaction and paving the way for centralised power. Because these temples were designed as analogs of the Earth, misuse of energy collected at the sites released sympathetic resonances that triggered all kinds of geological and ecological catastrophes across the planet. But the effects were not just physical, they were also biological: for the next 4500 years, humanity experienced a gradual disconnection with the Earth, a loss of intimacy with the invisible spiritual world and a shift towards the material world. But what exactly is this subtle energy and
where does it reside? At the Rollright stone circle in England,
surveys show how the local magnetic field collects into the circle in a spiral flow. A person standing at the site is literally drawn down a vortex into Earth’s energy field. The specific types of stone used at the sites contain high amounts of quartz which is programmable by electromagnetic frequencies. The temples operated as energy storage devices to help humans renew, recharge and reconnect.
In Australia we are incredibly fortunate to have access to the 40,000 year old wisdom of our own indigenous people who have never severed their connection to the spirit world and who understand that the spirit is in the land. In fact, a central concept of Aboriginal Australian culture is that people and land are one. Bruce Chatwin’s book ‘The Songlines’ describes how language started as song, and how, in the Dreamtime, the land was sung into existence. He writes: “And it struck me, that the whole of classical mythology might represent the relics of a gigantic 'song-map': that all the to-ing and fro-ing of gods and goddesses, the caves, temples and sacred springs, the sphinxes and chimaeras, and all the men and women who became nightingales or ravens, echoes or narcissi, stones or stars – could all be interpreted in terms of totemic geography."

FEATURED SIGN – LEO From 23rd July to 23rd August, the sun travels through fire sign Leo. Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac with keywords ‘I express’ and ‘I stand out’. Leo’s symbol is the lion, king of the beasts, but also the beast within who must be subdued and civilised. Lions
in art and myth are symbols of strength, supremacy, glory and brilliance. Leos are extremely creative and love to show off their talents. They are often attracted to the performing arts or any role where they can shine and lead others. At best they are loving, loyal, affectionate and sincere, displaying willpower, courage, dignity and leadership and radiating confidence. Negatively, Leos can be arrogant, bossy, vain and over-dramatic. Leo rules the heart, circulatory system and spine. When Leos are out of balance they can suffer from back pain, nervous palpitations, high blood pressure, fever, stroke and heart disease. The Leo colours are gold and orange. Leo’s greatest lesson is to learn that they are not the centre of the universe. The true leader is the servant of all!
MOON PLACEMENTS – AUGUST Launch projects at the new moon, bring them to completion in the period from just before the full moon to the third quarter phase and wind them down and reflect on developments in the week before the next new moon. Important events such as parties, conferences and weddings are best held close to the full moon or when the moon is in the same sign as your sun (star) sign.
