Caduceus "Angel of Healing" | by Sculptor James N. Muir, Dec. 1 Ophiuchus

Dear Ophiuchus,

If anyone ever had a Destiny, it’s you. Despite the doubts that invariably creep in to cloud your sense of inner knowing, you always knew – and you know now – that you have an important Mission to accomplish here. In case there are any lingering doubts in your Mind about whether you will ever get your day in the sun let me banish those for you right now. Your Time is now.

It is no coincidence that your “sign” or constellation has been hidden for thousands of years only to break you out of obscurity and anonymity suddenly, magically, and so close to the pivotal date everyone is talking about: 12/21/2012.

It is also neither ironic nor by chance that the veils that parted and released you from the limbo of non remembrance as you lay suspended in the firmament of the heavens were the Scorpion’s waters of death. That was always part of a Great Cosmic Plan.

You are both harbinger of Great Change and the Angel, Magus or Shaman who is bringing it about through the simple fundamental works that you do. The mere thought of you is making some bodies of people very uneasy because they are afraid of change.

Beloved Ophiuchus your home coming calls “End Game” to what has been going on here from one pole of the Planet to the other. There is a new player on the Cosmic Game Board – it’s you. And the new Token on the START HERE square Number 13 is yours.

You probably haven’t noticed there is a new Game Board because the one you’ve been playing on hasn’t changed since the moment you opened your eyes on the world. But the Game Board that is new to the World as of January 13, 2011 is the one you brought with you when you came here. And all the current Powers That Be are scrambling to figure out how to operate and take control of it.

You have introduced yourself to all of the Earth’s Power Players to let them know you are here but none of them like you because you don’t side with any of them. Don’t let that slow your stride. When they look at you they see the demise of the only world they know anything about. You are the Game Changer.

You have quite an array of talents and past life experiences to draw from. Healing, Wisdom & Science are the gifts you bring to the table this time. You restore, revive, heal and transform. That’s the last thing the Old Game Board Players want. But the World is exhibiting signs of being very sick and these people and associated beings are nearest the root of the dis-ease.

The Planet itself is endangered. Her species are leaving in droves. Vegetation is being cleared out too. Earth Mother’s insides are being turned out, drilled, pumped, and exploded. If Humanity has a ghost of a chance to survive the Ascension process that is coming to set the Earth right again, you are that ghost of a chance.

Thank you for coming. Thank you for serving. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. But please remember that although I can make suggestions to you based on history, myth and science, YOU are the one who knows who and what you are and what you are here to do. We can only make educated guesses about you.

Do not be led. Follow your own Heart.

CliffsNotes

Ophiuchus

Also known as Serpentarius, Serpent Holder or Serpent Bearer
November 29 to December 18¹ (See footnote)

Rome

The Roman version of the God is known as Aesculapius. The cult [of Asclepius] arrived in Rome in 293 BCE after the Romans, suffering from a plague epidemic, sent a mission to Epidauros seeking the aid of Asclepius the Greek God of Healing. While the Romans were ashore at Epidauros, a giant serpent made its way to the ship. The Romans took this as a sign the god was willing to come to Rome’s aid and so they left to return home. As the ship was making its way up the Tiber to its home port, the snake slipped over the side of the ship on its own and swam ashore. A temple was built to Asclepius on the spot where the snake swam ashore. The plague abated and Aesculapius was credited with healing Rome’s citizens.

Ophiuchus Astrology Facts

This list of known Ophiuchus Astrology Facts is not exhaustive yet. Although for our purposes Ophiuchus exists ostensibly under the Astrological canopy, it is a universal energy as described in Mark Amaru Pinkham’s work The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom.

Please keep checking back for updates.

The House of Ophiuchus

• 13 ~ Using the Galactic Equator to mark the First Galactic Earth House (Solstice – December 21, 2012), Ophiuchus is the 13th Zodiac Constellation on our Zodiac Belt

• 8.5 ~ Using the Earth’s Equator to mark the First Mundane Earth House (March Equinox), Ophiuchus is currently functioning in Astrological cooperation with Scorpius in the Eighth House [Death, Transformations, Inheritances, Medicine & Magic also Malevolence and how other people acquire Our Money by whatever means necessary]

Element/Gender:

• Standing alone as a Zodiac Constellation: Ether (gender All & None)

• In combination with Scorpius: Water (gender Feminine)

Numbers: 13, 22, 4 and another number that is veiled

Color: Black

Minerals:

• Obsidian, Cuprite

• Special Purpose Crystal: Cuprite (CUO2) resonating with both Mars and Venus; substitute this for Garnet but men should be x-careful with this.

• Herkimer Diamond – “the Dream crystal” – named for the mud matrix it grows in at Herkimer, New York, USA

Metal: Titanium (TI – Periodic Chart of the Elements #22)

Plants:

• Black Spruce [Native North American]
• Olive Tree Family [Mediterranean, Asia, Africa]
• Lotus [Egyptian White or Blue Nile Water Lily]

Animals:

• Elk [Native North American] ← infolink
• Serpent or Snake [Greek, Egyptian, Minoan Crete]

Astrology

Planets (Exoteric):

• Planetary Intelligence: Mercury, Venus
• Exaltation: Moon
• Detriment or Fall:

• Greek myth: None. Pluto’s planetary status was revoked in June 2006. Pluto is now functioning virtually at peer level with Asteroid Asclepius. That was the only ‘enemy’ Asclepius had. He was, to quote Homer in The Iliad, “faultless.”

• Egyptian myth: Imhotep had no enemies, only levels of high patronage extending all the way up to the Pharaoh who was the God of Egypt in his own right.

• Minoan Crete: Judging by the disappearance of the Matriarchy beginning after Minoan Crete was overtaken by the Mycenaeans, any male-gendered body poses as potential Nemesis energy. Her special allies would be Hera (Great Goddess, the Minoan Mother Serpent Goddess) and any and all Goddesses particularly the Greek and Egyptian.

Special Allies: Mars, Saturn

Relationship Contracts: Earth, Pluto, Jupiter

Other Solar System Relationships (Small Bodies):

• Asteroids: Asclepius, Hermes, Chiron, Imhotep, Ptah, Sekhmet, Quetzalcoatl
• Relationship Contracts: Apollo, Artemis

• Writing-Documenting
• Does not prefer leadership roles but will step up to the plate if called upon
• Multi-dimensional; operates at all levels of consciousness with equal ease

Fundamental Spiritual Path Healing Modality:

• Usui Reiki – as a matter of the history of how Reiki came to this planet, Usui Reiki is the root of the celestially connected Ophiuchus Reiki Healing Modalities.

Identities

The constellation’s mythos (to the extent it has been excavated to date) is a collective consisting of three figures.² The two outer personalities validated by history and literature extant are deemed Exoteric. They constitute outer shells that veil the Esoteric, occult (hidden) identity.

The Name of Imhotep

The Exoteric personalities are:

• Asclepius the Greek God of Healing & Wisdom
• Imhotep the Egyptian God of Healing, Wisdom & Science
  

  The Name of ISIS

The Esoteric, occult (hidden) identity:

• the Goddess who is known variously as the Serpent Goddess, Great Goddess, Great Mother Goddess, or the Goddess or Angel of All-Health. She is a Living Caduceus and the Throne.

She may have been known by a name at one time, but if so either that name has not survived the times or I haven’t found it yet. Until the real Name turns up referring to her by any other name may represent a dilution of her Totality but to refer to her as Isis³ or Sophia⁴ would not be wrong.

Symbol

There are a number of symbols currently being used to designate Ophiuchus. To lay to rest the notion that the Staff of Asclepius is the symbol that should be used I need to call to your attention the fact that Ophiuchus is a descriptive noun meaning “serpent holder”, it is not the name of a particular personality.

The symbol I use was Transmitted to me in the late 1990′s before I had any idea what it could possibly mean apart from the obvious symbolism of the snake.

Today, in addition to the sacred geometry of its parts, I know that the ‘Oph Glyph’ design I was given all those years ago pictures the Planetary Healer ‘Y’ Posture and what happens when we use this posture with Intent. The Serpent of course represents the Sacred Kundalini Serpent.

The elements of this symbol include but are not limited to the following:

• The ‘Y’ part of the design is made of three line segments joined at the center to represent the Sacred Geometry of the Number 3 and a Chalice

• The three segments symbolize the one Esoteric and two Exoteric aspects of the Ophiuchus Collective as

• the two generations of Demi-god Serpent Holder Scientist-Physicians later made into Gods and Ascended Masters (one of whom continued to serve humanity in similar fashion to Jesus Christ until Jesus supplanted him) and

• the lost and revived Serpent Mother Goddess.

• The three segments joined represent the Essential Unity in any and all Trinity concepts we may be using to describe the generations of That Effect Which Has No Cause (sometimes referred to as First Cause).

• The circle is, inter alia,  a symbol of the Divine. It is levitated in the V part of the Y to remind us our physicality is driven by our Cosmic Consciousness. Taken together with the Y part of the design of course it pictures you or me in the Planetary ‘Y’ Healer Posture.

• The S shape represents of course the Serpent. The S shape reminds us not only of the undulations of the Serpent and the curves of a woman’s body but fe-male energy in motion and an opened circle.

The background of the image is not necessarily part of the design but it does have specific meaning in context. It is a sunlit beach in San Francisco and I chose it to represent the Waters Above and the Waters Below. When we employ the Planetary Healer ‘Y’ Posture we are the channel and we Unify the two firmaments (see Ether⁵), the energy being conducted through the element H2O of our bodies.
