Wheel of Life Full Moon Meditation – Aquarius sun/Leo moon

Wheel of Life Full Moon Meditation

The full moon link-up is offered as a way of connecting with other ‘inner pilgrims’.  You are invited to join in at 12 noon on this date - Meditation is a personal journey, which unfolds in our unique ways. As we attune together at 12 pm we can make our prayers more powerful with a common focus. For those who feel connected to this particular work of the Gatekeeper Trust perhaps we could share the focus of a wheel of silver light spinning in the British Zodiac, radiant and happy.

AQUARIUS SUN LEO FULL MOON 2025
February 12
12 Noon local time

Aquarius the ‘water bearer’ and the ‘thinker’ who seeks pure thought, the ‘light of truth’ – divine wisdom sings its song through our own physical reality, we are Apollo’s Lyre, and our song is endless.

Cosmic Wisdom like warm sunlight, creating reflections through the senses, music through the waters of life, entangling with the rocks and stones of experience, we seek the sunlight of cosmic wisdom stored within holy springs (baths, river courses, springs and wells).

The beautiful Chalice Well, Glastonbury and its ‘vesica’ lid hinting at the Pythagorean mystery of the ‘holy centre’ alignment of ‘Apollo’s Arrow’.

‘Legend whispers of hidden springs and the veil between worlds thinning in specific locations. Chalice Hill, with its sacred Red Spring, considered holy water by many pagan myths, is said to be one such place. Visitors can drink from the well's water, dispensed through a striking lion's head, while marvelling at the well cover, designed by Frederick Bligh Bond, which replicates the Vesica Piscis symbol. Just opposite this famous site, down a little lane at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, lies its counterpart: the ‘White Spring’.

Glastonbury, Bath and surrounding pagan sanctuaries. Between Bath and Coit Mawr, the three stone circles of Stanton Drew are said to represent a ‘model of the universe’ as training in astrology for the druid academy. The ‘Royal Road’ of the Fosse Way passes south from Bath between Glastonbury and Ilchester…. An ‘Apollo’s Arrow’ in the landscape perhaps.

Wisdom and ‘unity in diversity’ is the key to Aquarian principles of divine creation at work in our planetary incarnation. According to Pythagoras, the ‘vesica piscis’ is fundamental to all form: unity as well as polar diversity – this is the key principle of Aquarius where pure thought encompasses all diversification of life forms, therefore calls for us to discover this ‘divine principle’.

These qualities are those that APOLLO’S ARROW brings daily to our planet, in musical form, purely refined and geometric, the song of life within our veins, from Apollo’s Lyre: – the wisdom of divinity unveiled in the sun god’s lyre and its interpretation as divine inspiration.

Anthony Thorley (‘Apollo’s Arrow: the Secret Knowledge of the Bronze Age – Eternal Knowledge Festival 2012; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_1Oj7kRSEY ) the sun god who represented the proportions of life on earth according to the sun’s passage across the sky. The measurements were adopted from the Megalithic culture of the Eastern Atlantic seaboard civilisations. Anthony quotes musicologist Anne Macaulay’s study of the Pythagorean musical proportions within stringed instruments, as can be seen in the mythology of ‘Apollo’s Lyre’ in Greek tradition.

‘The lyre symbolized not only musical harmony but also the philosophical ideals of balance and order. In the teachings of philosophers like Pythagoras, music and mathematics were intertwined, with the lyre embodying the mathematical proportions that governed both music and the universe.’

Are we interpreting the rays of the sun as a creative stimulus for evolution? The sun (the sun-god Apollo) is seen as creating music upon and within the planet. Apollo’s Lyre has always been there for us to learn about the music of holy proportion (mathematics)… which the sages and the magi of old kept secret yet encoded within sacred art and architecture.

Let music be the food of love – we make music as we send out love out into the landscape and listen to the spirit of the land’s ‘Kindly Luminous Beings’:

Apollo’s ‘Lyre’- here depicted, is the ‘music of the spheres’ that are promised to us in Aquarius: divine harmony is possible through being divinely guided from within our own incarnated physical form. We listen to each minute molecule its harmonic note, through mindful awareness in our landscapes. Then, as we listen to the ‘somatic resonance’ that our bodies pick up from the geography of our environment, we hear and see the collective voice of coherence and connectivity, of wholeness. Let us listen to the ‘lyre’ of our hearts and minds and cells.

Stage 2 adding equal circles – the vesica denoting sacred space, at the centre of our being.

[Highlighting the ‘arrow’ of wisdom centred on the vesical in the centre.[

Stage 4 – the ‘arrow’ dissecting the vesica between the circles, then becomes a resonant ‘lyre’ of balance and harmony: the essence of all life.

MEGALITHIC CIRCLE ON LUNDY ISLAND – on the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces in the British Zodiac – is aligned to St David’s Head and the Wicklow mountains, connecting the two landscape zodiacs.

https://robinheath.info/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/LundyEgg.pdf . ‘Thom’s blue stone ‘lunar circle’ on the island speaks to us of a Pythagorean proportion, creating a NW alignment with the Wicklow Mountains of Ireland.

‘Archaeology still has to catch up with the rest of us concerning Alexander Thom’s geometries and the astronomical realities measurable at many many sites.’ John Michel: ‘… the Lundy / Stonehenge / Preseli triangle which is exactly a 5 / 12 / 13 triangle , normally associated with the name Pythagoras but which was known by our ancient forebears long before Greek civilisation. This triangle effectively marries the Sun with the Moon and enabled those ancient people to predict eclipses’. Alexander Thom – ‘Cracking the Stone Age Code’ by Robin Heath.

The Pythatgorean geometry of Alexander Thom includes Lundy Island off North Devon, making a magical triangle with Stonehenge. [See reference below to Maria Wheatley’s ‘The Music of Stonehenge’. Are these landscapes creating invisible harmonics of wholeness under our very feet?

The right angle sets an alignment through the centre of the three landscape zodiacs. The importance of Stonehenge at one corner of Thom’s 5-12-13 triangle is that it goes through our ‘Aquarian’ landscape in the British zodiac, and then the Presceli mountains from which the bluestones were transported from an earlier stone circle. The alignment is shown below by the Zoence map of the ‘Maia Temple’ which traditionally was called ‘the isles of the Hesperides’ ruled over by the goddess Cassiopeia.

The extraordinary news today hits the BBC news: - ‘The six-tonne Altar Stone at the heart of Stonehenge came from the far north of Scotland, rather than south-west Wales as previously thought… [see later in this article the discovery of Platonic Solids – balls carved that depict the ‘harmony’ or song of the spheres of rock].

THIS IS THE YEAR OF NEW REVELATIONS sparking a new ‘Great Age’: A 400 yr period has passed since the super nova in Cassiopeia, which in the Rennaisance prophesied the birth of a Great New Age 400 years ahead of them and a dawn of our digital era. This period now concludes with the conclusion that Pluto again appears in Aquarius and this time for 20 years. The dawn of cryptography is said to have begun bringing a fresh look at the scripts studied by the European magi, and externalised through the regeneration of the arts and science. At that time, the Magi travelled to Milan and there established a city design: a ‘Pythagorean’ sacred triangle. This has been at work with the geometry of Apollo’s musical lyre, uncovered last year in Milan on a pilgrimage lead by Peter and Sarah Dawkins. This city layout features the Cathedral, the Castle and the South Gate. Pilgrims walked into this sacred space, discovering its symbolic position along the ‘Sun Line’ from South Portugal, passing through Milan: the Hercules Way. Symbolically this heralded an activation of landscape geometry. Pilgrimage with hearts and minds open, activates the ‘Lyre’ of divine wisdom in the landscape. I sense harmony is being activated in this emerging Aquarius Age.

Peter Dawkins interprets this triangle formulation as a central symbol of our human-cosmos incarnation of divinity. Within us each is an emerging ‘child of the universe’ brought to life through a ‘nurturing’ (mother) and ‘activating’ (father) principle. The three are represented in the triangle proportion of 3-4-5, where perfect balance and eternal movement can be reproduced within human evolution (the ever-emerging ‘creative child’). This David Spangler calls this the marriage of the planetary soul and human soul, creating ever-new forms of beauty, light and love.

Message of the Stars: The Renaissance ‘magi’ studying the constellations, saw a super nova, emerging from the centre of Cassiopeia. Thereafter, publications often included a W with a gap between two parts: V V. It signified that a hidden cypher could be detected in the text alluding to the magi philosophers of that time.

While we start a new ‘great age’, says Peter Dawkins, we find that mathematical measurements unveiled by researchers, revealing a deep Iron Age philosophy. This was to become the origins of a Pythagorean Mystery tradition starting a cultural revolution just ending of 2,000 years of mathematical brilliance. There have been obstacles of greed and coercion, but taking all into consideration, as we are a new human ‘holy child’ of evolution, we need these experiential ‘gateways’ in order to grow our own diverse forms of wisdom-in-action, in order to come to another form of collective enlightenment.

Three Circles (Britain, Ireland and Scotland) and a possible double ‘Apollo’s Arrow’ through the middle at the SW end of Anglesea. The line from North Devon goes through Lundy to St David’s Head, and then on to Wicklow.

APOLLO’S LYRE: Are we interpreting the rays of the sun as a creative stimulus for evolution? The sun is seen as creating music upon and within the planet….Apollo’s Lyre has always been there for us to learn about the music of holy proportion (mathematics)… which the sages and the magi of old kept secret yet encoded within sacred art and architecture.
It is the science of the inevitable, surviving one Great Age and transforming into the next. The sun culture ‘rituals’ migrated to the Mediterranean and re-emerged in Greece where Pythagoras received his initiation and developed his ‘sacred triangle’.

Notes from the last section of ‘Apollo’s Arrow’ include the discovery of Megalithic geometrically precise sculptures:

Platonic Solids that all have the triangle in their construction, each solid has points that fit into a circle. The dodecahedron has the 345 triangle. Plato identified the three basic triangles that are found in the foundation of the Universe.

Keith Critchlow’s triangular measurements of crystals.

[Anthony Thorley] ‘In Keith Critchlow’s book: ‘Time Stands Still’ he points out that Plato was not the first person to identify Platonic solids, each enclosed by a sphere. He also points out that they are also in Scotland: over 400 were found aged from 3000 bc, carved in granite. These were created in Scotland in the third millennia, people whittling these things. They are not grave artifacts, they have never been found in graves, they have been found kicked up in farmers’ fields, down sewers in Scotland and not been found elsewhere in Europe.’

‘Carved Stone Balls’ by Dorothy Marshall – in a paper where she describes all 400 of them. She had to write an addendum because 26 people came out of the woodwork all over Scotland and said, ‘I’ve got one of these on our mantlepiece as we did not know what they were’. So she had to write a further paper.

[AT] ‘She never ever said what they were for or what they were about, of course she didn’t know. The archaeologists have hardly ever than these seriously: they are natural products.’

THE OCTAHEDRON: [AT] ‘It’s got eight sides and six points, and if you put a kind of mushroom thing on those six points and try to carve it, you get the impression of the original octahedron and at the same time a sphere that it also is. And that is an incredible thing to carve in the third millennium it really is. There you are sitting there dressed in skins, you have just come out of a cave or something like that, and this is in Scotland!’

Identifying the surface geometry: [AT] ‘And then the gift that the Scots gave the world. This is of course you know what it is, it’s a football… a dodecahedron, a symbol for ether that fills the whole universe because it was the closest to a circle in all these figures, and of course Pythagoras talked about it using his mouthpiece Socrates, when someone asked what the universe looks like. Plato replied ‘like a child’s leather ball’

[AT] Lastly this is the most exciting of them, it came from a sewer in Aberdeen. It's my favourite because not only is it a tetrahedron with the implicit extraordinary wisdom, but it also has the symbols you see in passage graves in Scotland, Ireland and Malta. The spirals are associated with a change in dimension. The spiral is most likely to be found in the first third of a passage grave as you are walking in. [Anthony Thorley].

‘Musica Univeralis’: What is the connection with these solid stone carvings, the ‘Lyre’ of Apollo, and the musical properties of the different sanctuaries of stone?

Wiki: The Music of the Spheres: ‘Pythagoras proposed that the Sun, Moon and planets all emit their own unique hum based on their orbital revolution,’

Maria Wheatly’s project ‘The Music of Stonehenge’ involved feedback from participants: The ‘Bank/Bluestone circle: (Fabien) This brings tension between the two polarities, creating movement that is used in modern classical music. To Kay Gardner this interval creates a feeling of lightness, openness and has a mild dissonance. The Q and R holes also resonate to 9/8.’ [Ley Hunters Magazine, Imbolc 2025].

AQUARIUS AND A GREAT NEW AGE OF 25,000 YEARS BEGINS WITH THE SIGN OF AQUARIUS THIS YEAR 2025.

Our imagination spans to around 4,000 bc and the mysterious ‘mathematical insights’ of the Megalithic cultures of the Altantic seaboard. How are we to interpret the length of time it has taken to mature human knowledge? Only the invisible ‘lyre’ of divine wisdom within all things brings us to this day and age.

Here is Anthony’s timescale, which if we calculate the ‘stone balls’ of Platonic Solids from Scotland being in the same time frame as Stonehenge, gives us a picture of the whole ‘three zodiacs’ of the British Isles being linked in a culture that then migrated to the Mediterranean and Pythagoras’ Greece:

ORIGINS OF THE MEGALITHIC CULTURE:

• Early Stone constructions in Ireland and Brittany fromm 5,500 - 4,000 bBCE.
• New Grange in Ireland - 3,200 BCE.
• Stonehenge in England, early bluestones, 3,150 BCE.

INCLUDE in your research: this year’s new findings that the altar stone in Stonehenge had been transported from North East Scotland, not Wales. This is an inspiring addition to the musical landscapes of our British Isles, now linking the mythology of the Hesperides with Megalithic wisdom and Apollo’s Lyre.

A Screenshot adapted from news item from https://archaeologymag.com/2024/08/stonehenges-altar-stone-came-from-scotland/

‘The revelation that such a massive stone was transported from so far away is astonishing. The Orcadian Basin, located in what is now the Inverness area and possibly even as far as the Orkney Islands, was identified as the likely source. This means that the stone was likely transported either overland or via a marine route, both of which would have required a high level of societal coordination.’

These places predate the pyramid culture dynastic Egypt Anthony informs us. ‘The earliest reports from the Isles of Hesperides, are from Diordurus Siculus: ‘Here Apollo has a stately grove, with a renowned temple, of a round form, beautified with many rich gifts… And to this God there is a city consecrated to whose citizens are most of them great harpers. … The moon in this island seems as if it was near to the earth, and Apollo comes into it once in nineteen years; at which time he plays upon the harp, and sings and dances all night from the vernal equinox to the rising of the Pleiades…’

We can now - as harpers of the ‘lyre’ - link Scotland with British Zodiac features, and bring a new dimension to our Pythagorean philosophy of Apollo’s sanctuaries of the sun and moon, and listen for Apollo’s Lyre, which ‘represents an extraordinary degree of knowledge’ long before our modern scientific age.

MUSIC AND ARTS IN THE LANDSCAPE:

We might now have more encouragement for using music in our pilgrimages, in order to activate the ‘music of the spheres’ and bring our Megalithic roots into focus. Anthony raises the question, ‘What is the significance of the Megalithic culture in terms of Europe and more? Did this mathematical and Calendrical knowledge move from the Western Atlantic Seaboard Neolithic towards the Mediterranean, to be taken up by Classical Greece and become the foundations of modern life and then redistributed to the world? Is this system of knowledge of Apollos’ Arrow, partly the foundation of Western Civilisation?

If this is so then we ourselves are custodians of a mysterious knowledge embedded within our earth herself: Gaia speaks to us as the herald of a new age being born, the resonant roots of it are already laid under our feet, a music ready to be danced and sung. Our individual environments are the orchestras.

‘The particular focus we have is on developing an understanding not only of ourselves but also of our environment and how each affects the other at the deeper levels of consciousness and existence. In doing so we tap into the wisdom that is embodied in ourselves and the land, learning to work with this wisdom and its spiritual archetypes or intelligences’,
