Wheel of Life Full Moon Meditation – Aries Sun / Libra Moon

Wheel of Life Full Moon Meditation - Aries Sun / Libra Moon – 2nd April 2026

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.

Welcome to our Libra Full Moon newsletter. The Libra constellation is reflected on the area of east England including most of Norfolk and Suffolk. Our meditation takes us on a well -trodden pilgrimage to Walsingham on the cusp of Virgo and Libra on the British Landscape Zodiac. “Boasting pilgrimage credentials beyond compare, Little Walsingham drew vast numbers of medieval visitors and has been revived as the hub of several pilgrimage routes” (British Pilgrimage Trust).

Walsingham Holy Well

In the 11th century, Lady Richeldis de Faverches experienced a vision of the Virgin Mary at Walsingham. In response, a Holy House was built nearby, close to two sacred wells. Constructed of wood and richly panelled, it housed a carved statue of the Virgin Mary enthroned, with the Christ Child seated on her lap. Among its treasured relics was a phial said to contain the Virgin’s milk.

Over the following centuries, the priory expanded as Walsingham grew into one of England’s most important pilgrimage destinations. Throughout the Middle Ages, it flourished as a centre of devotion, drawing visitors from across the land—including every English monarch. This continued until 1538, when King Henry VIII ordered its destruction during the English Reformation. The statue of Our Lady of Walsingham, venerated for generations, was burned, and eleven people were executed.

In more recent times, much of the shrine has been restored. Today, Walsingham once again welcomes pilgrims and visitors, with around 350,000 people coming each year.

The Gatekeeper Trust sees the ancient art of pilgrimage as a way of journeying with an awareness of the sacred nature of our environment and planetary healing. The Gatekeeper Butterfly, a creature often found at boundaries and gateways, is seen as the “Spirit of the Place”.

Archbishop Sarah Mullally and BPT's Guy Hayward

As we pilgrimage, we move through different spaces, some are physical such as field boundaries or gateways, others are more transient spaces but at each new place there is a guardian to whom we can acknowledge and ask permission to enter. This gives us a heightened awareness of nature around us. Peter Dawkins explains it here:

In March the new Archbishop of Canterbury pilgrimaged from St Pauls Cathedral in London to Canterbury Cathedral, a pilgrimage of 6 days. She was joined by many people including Guy Haward of the British Pilgrimage Trust. Read more about it here:

At one of our early Gatekeeper conferences, we invited the newly formed British Pilgrimage Trust to give a talk about their work and gave a donation to help them on their way.

Portland Update
March 2026

The Gatekeeper Stone in Tout Quarry and the Spring Equinox are linked as Peter Dawkins explained last year during a site visit to Portland. This heel/hail stone greets the rising sun on this day and welcomes the return of the light. Rediscovering the ancient myths, cosmological connections, and the research into this landscape temple are at the core of Gatekeeper’s educational remit.

As part of our continuing collaboration with Hannah Sofaer and Paul Crabtree of Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust and working with the new model of regeneration PSQT have developed over 40 years, Gatekeeper Trust continues to learn from the land itself - Its history, its people. Further exploration will take place in June to assist with siting and settng up the lower portal of this energetic system with the Fleet Street entrance. Dorset County Council is assisting with funding and the entrance way will be the focus of PSQT’s stand at the Stone and Surfaces Show at London Excel in May.

This month, the sun sign of Aries, is the first fire sign of the year, embodying fearless action and relentless energy; the full moon in Libra the Mediator, reflects peace and facilitates reflection whilst remaining neutral. Here we link to Charlotte in the sun sign of Aries.

SUN IN ARIES MOON IN LIBRA 2026

Aries is the sign of the spiritual warrior who grows within our psyche at ‘crisis points’ of challenge throughout our solar cycle. Seeking to move our imagination, the Earth presents resistance with her aim for us to build resilience. The intuitive Moon reflects this path of dilemma, intuiting the middle way of ‘diplomacy and mediation’, a collaborative lifestyle creating balance and harmony.

In ‘The Megalithic Plan’ by Howard Crowhurst, he shows the extent of the outreach of harmonic measurements still in practice as the ‘Pythagorean Theorem’ in the built environment.

(Screenshot from ‘Astro-Geometry in Ancient Britain and Carnac, France’ by Howard Crowhurst, Megalithomania 2021)

The pure Concept of Harmony links sacred sites over quite a distance. The Megalithic alignments strike a balance within the dialogue between Britain and Scotland. Crowhurst speculates that there are hundreds and thousands of Megalithic sites all over the world, stretching to over 10,000 years in the past, each one demonstrating a mathematical precision and vision of connectivity throughout all countries. What have we missed in our current sophisticated knowledge and understanding of the past?

This month’s quest is about Aries teaching us to have rigorous conviction of a vision of sublime, interconnected harmonious creation. It is about our own focus on a ‘passion of purpose’ and the infinite power of love in action. We are now building a new, interconnected world just like the Megalithic builders, who laid down the measurements for harmonic convergence between human architecture and the logic of Earth’s creation.

Co-creating a vision with a long view:

The Libra Full Moon speaks to us of meditation between our vision and that of others. In this Great Age of Aquarius, I see the prime formula is ‘unity in diversity’ and an intuitive back-up in our psyche that prods us to co-create a middle path of co-creation with our planet. How else could the Megalithic builders bring their unique vision into practice across so many miles of landscapes?

The Sacred Geometry of Sacred Space
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Beqn8D2yf4w

The DIVINE PROPORTION in Egyptian Art
‘Divine Proportion and Sacred Space’ by Howard Crowhurst

Howard Crowhurst deciphered the geometry of how sacred space is created.
The measurements can also be seen in Egyptian temple architecture and in Carnac, Brittany, as well as in the sacred geometry of Solomon’s Temple. The harmonic proportions emerge through co-creation and are shown within sacred art.

Moreover, in the Kolbrin, researched by Ian Wilson and Baram Blackett, the Welsh texts of Welsh history, such as that found in the chronicle of the early Britons ‘Brut y Bryttaniait’ (often referred to as ‘Tysilio Chronicles’,)clearly states that Brutus of Troy and his vast army landed in Britain around 1170 BC and became the first known King of the Britons, starting what is the true Royal Brythonic dynasty of Britain. …. Wilson and Blackett reveal ‘The Ten Tribes of Israel’ (which later included two other assimilated tribes from Judea) were known to the Assyrian Emperors as the Khumry – a name too close to our modern day Cymry/Cymru to be a fleeting coincidence.’

If this is so, then this ‘outreach of civilisation’ brings a new perspective to the ‘Megalithic Plan’ now being unearthed all over the planet.

Bran the Blessed was one of the post-Trojan kings who has been researched, and whose head is said to have been transported from Anglesey to the ‘White Hill of Caer Troia’, The Tower of London. King Brutus the Trojan landed at Totnes where his stone and castle can be found. He went on to reign in Caer Troia (London). No doubt he was guided by the ‘Royal Celtic Roads’.

ARIES IN THE BRITISH LANDSCAPE

The kings of old were destined to symbolise sacred landscape traditions. The ‘long view’ of the Celtic Royal Roads is significant as it represented the ritualistic link between Wales and Britain.

Emerging from this story, the Celtic Royal Roads, an alignment with Ireland, Anglesey and London, were investigated by Peter Dawkins and set within a modern map of the British Zodiac. It shows a collaborative oral tradition inspired by ancient alignments and the sages’ interpretations.

Sarn Wydellin, the route taken by the ‘Holy Head of King Bran the Beloved' is a story where he asked that his head be taken to be buried under the ‘White Hill’ of Caer Troia (pre-Roman London). A ‘Picture Pilgrimage’ of the Route of the Most Holy Head of Bran: Tower of London to Caer Arianrhod, Wales.

In a similar way, pre-Roman King Bladud of Bath visited the ancient stone complex of Stanton Drew south of Bath. It is said that he travelled with wings, and upon flying to Caer Troia, he crashed upon the ‘White Hill’. This links the Fosse Way to the four Royal Roads, along which pre-Roman sovereigns were ‘travelling’ symbolically.

A second ‘unequal sign’ zodiac, showing the Fosse Way linking with the Virgo/Aquarius signs in the British Zodiac, is a tectonic fracture in the rocks, reaching to Bath. This was recognised and embedded in the Celtic Royal Roads as well as the Romans who restructured the old routes.

The ancient Celtic roads seen in yellow – rebuilt and adjusted by the Romans – link sacred sites to the centre at High Cross. Nearby to the cross is Atherstone, in memory of the later Welsh King Arthur, whose tombstone was found at Hartshill amongst other mounds of unidentified sacred significance. The head of Bran would have honoured these connections and symbolised a continuity of sovereignty back in time.
The journey of the head of King Bran the Beloved to the White Hill was an archetype of ‘far-seeing’ warriorship,where kings were seen as embodying the ‘sovereignty’ of a spiritual landscape of high significance.

HILLTOP PILGRIMAGES IN ARIES

The Snowdon Peak.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowdon#/media/File:Crib_Goch_-_geograph.org.uk_-_353320.jpg

From here you can see the highest mountain of Wales, Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).

Reflections from a pilgrimage: Later in 2018 a pair of us ascended the flanks in the mountain railway, noticing each bend and perspective across to lower hill slopes, in total meditation. We climbed the last hour’s walk, watching a magnetic and powerful transformation of the higher horizon open out into this scene. From the top of Yr Wyddfa, looking back to Mitchell’s Fold circle, the experience is so breathtaking and vivid that the fluttering heart will never forget its spiritual presence. The walk down takes over 2 hours.

There is an option to walk up the slopes for a few hours: the Llanberis Pass ascends in dignity. [https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g186448-d19003152-Reviews-Llanberis_Path-Llanberis_Snowdonia_Eryri_National_Park_North_Wales_Wales.html]

My partner and I took the mountain train up to its stopping station, and walked the next hour up to the top. This was the view, an amazing panorama of Welsh landscapes and valleys made us catch our breath, and the energy of the mountain seemed to soar into the sky above us it was so exhilarating.

‘JRR Tolkien used to walk the hill when he lived in Penkridge, and is said to have given him inspiration in writing The Lord of The Rings; The Wrekin, in terms of its signifance to the landscape, has also been compared to Ayer’s Rock in Australia. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’, hardly in evidence.

Reflections: A meditating climb in the misty sunshine, overlooking the Welsh valleys to Snowdon. The symbolic ‘warrior pose’ together with the gentle rolling lowland rivers, reflects the spiritual challenge of Aries and the intuitive response of the lunar ‘Libra’ making bridges and crossing places for high vision.

Our pilgrimage in 2018 split, two walked the steep final slopes to the top, while the rest slowly meditated the climb taking pictures and creating a mandala.

Jane’s wise hound assimilating the view of the misty landscape from the top, looking towards Wales and Snowdon.

At the start of the pilgrimage before the climb, the River Severn meanders around the lowlands, in a spirit of meditation with the landscape, winding, balancing hills and fields…. The warrior hillfort looks down from the top, with its accompanying barrows.

The Path to the Top – steep and winding, meditating with the steep stony hill, an image of persistence and balance. As Libra is the ‘reflecting lunar opposite’, the resolving of the steep climb to the fort at the to, was to take photos, and to create a montage of ‘balancing images’ as we attuned to the spirit of the hill and landscape.

Two montage reproductions reflecting the skyscapes, trees and mandalas, as a creative ‘resonance’ with the spirit of place.

Using a montage of views the artwork represents how meditating images can begin to suggest the spirit of place. The mandala reflected the re-grouping, reflecting group of pilgrims sharing their different experiences. Creativity is the response to obstruction and challenge: how can we meditate with our inner, fiery ‘passion of purpose’ except by building reflective bridges preparing for new illumination?

LOVE IN ACTION CREATED THROUGH A DEEP FOCUS OF ACCEPTANCE AND DEDICATION TO AN INNER ‘HEART VISION’.

The philosophy of Aries: a passion of purpose reveals the ‘mental focus’ developing from inner emotional responses to obstacles in our way. Without those obstacles, our vision would not leave the ground, adapt and incorporate the assembled perspectives of groups for whom we are prepared to serve and release our inner light.

THE LONG VIEWS CREATED BY THE ‘GOLDEN RATIO’ OF SACRED SPACE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Beqn8D2yf4w

Howard Crowhurst: ‘Nature moves away from the sacred creation. From nothing comes unity, and from unity comes everything.’

Harmonic Proportion in Egyptian Art

In the last Pisces Sun article, we looked at how Ian Wilson and Baram Blackett researched the Kolbin Bible, discovering the similarities of early written language with that of the Eastern scripts and icons. We have seen how the Welsh language mirrors earlier literacy scripts in the East, how the Cymru national name is found describing migration of Megalithic-rooted cultures into Europe. Howard Crowhurst measured many Megalithic sites, including Egyptian temple architecture and the enigmatic stone relics of Golbekli Tepe, finding perfect ratios and relationships involved in ritual buildings shaping sacred space. All the way from pre-Egyptian Mesopotamia, the Pythagorean formulae held totally true, even to the measurements between holy sanctuaries in SE Turkey now being measured and studied archaeologically. Migrations from those areas can be traced to the earliest inhabitants of our ‘poetic isles’.

Migrations themselves can be measured in terms of the ‘Aries’ impulse of the spiritual warrior within human societies, searching for truth, logic, meaning and cultural evolution.

Sacred Space and Sacred Geometry, the language of divinity, and the proportions triggered by the cycles of the Sun and Moon which were precisely observed and recorded by early society magi: the magi in Europe gathered sacred wisdom and measurement and taught it in small groups bringing about the age of the Renaissance. Thus ‘mental focus’ and commitment to ‘love in action’ so that it became ‘love-wisdom’ manifest, was the inner teaching of the Magi.

OXFORD’s Magi – Roger Bacon, artist and mathematician, revealing alchemical formulae, a committed Franciscan in Oxford, can be seen as one of the pre-Renaissance Magi.

GRAHAM ROBB’S discussion of Oxford as an ‘omphalos’ and centre of alchemical wisdom is confirmed by recent archaeological findings of the series of circular rings running East-West through the University colleges and parks.

GRAHAM ROBB’S INTERPRETATION OF OXFORD AS OMPHALOS
(Screenshot from ‘The Ancient Tracks’ by Graham Robb-

Oxford as Omphalos has harmonic proportions mapped out between North Wales, South West England, South East England and North East England. His book ‘The Ancient Tracks’ considers the proportions and alignments in both France and Britain. As tribe fought tribe, the Celtic traditions of sacred proportion continued to develop, seeding and nurturing new cultural forms.

PILGRIMAGE, SACRED SPACES AND THE ETHERIC FORM OF THE LIGHT BODY

Peter Dawkins brings us into focus upon the purpose of pilgrimage: to build the light body of the landscape as well as our own. This symbiotic dialogue between our physical world’s and our own subtle energy fields is what pilgrimage is all about. In the process, we learn to channel the ‘fiery purpose’ of creation that our planet underpins for us: the sacral and the root chakras provide input, the solar plexus begins the dialogue, the heart holds the alchemy of loving acceptance, and our throat, brow and crown provide the channels to an infinite source of our souls.

THE ARIES FACTOR: generating ‘SHEER HUMAN WILL’: a creative urge to create unique forms of sacred monuments, unimagined even in this day and age. Our islands are anciently connected to each other, despite the cultural and historical boundaries of England/Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Archaeologists reported very recently:

THE LONG VIEW of the Altar Stone in Stonehenge: ‘The archaeological discoveries using modern technology to determine the symbolic meaning of Stonehenge’s newly discovered altar-stone’s origins in Scotland: Stonehenge Secrets Revealed…’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYTlerD5fjU

The Stonehenge ‘altar stone’ now has been tested for the friction of movement and it shows it was dragged over … miles to Wiltshire. Its crystals are unique. What was the purpose, because the other stones came from a Welsh ‘bluestone’ quarry? The implications are that the altar stone was found, extracted and dragged to Wiltshire, to represent a united landscape, a symbol of unity. AI 3D scans have been made as well as microscopic examination of the tiniest particles of its composition, confirming it was dragged across a series of different surfaces 750 miles long. It reports an extraordinary rite of passage: ‘a feat of prehistoric logistics still baffles engineers today… 750 miles from North East Scotland, from a geological feature called an Orcadian basin, across some of the most brutal terrain in Britain, across Grampian Highlands, across rivers, through dense forests, across coastlines lashed by North Atlantic weather, in 3000 bc, without the wheel, without iron tools, without horses capable of bearing loads, with only human hands, wooden sledges and sheer human will.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQUDX1VqnNA

The quarry in the Orcadian Basin is suggested as the origin of the altar stone.

‘It was not a local monument, but a deliberately built gathering of stones from every sacred corner of Britain, a physical unification of an island people thousands of years before the concept of Britain ever existed. And the biggest question of all, why the Altar Stone specifically. Why drag the central stone, the one at the heart of the entire geometrical arrangement design, from the furthest corner of the known world. What did that stone mean? What was it for? Because if they crossed 750 miles across prehistoric wilderness for it, if they dragged six tons of Scottish sandstone across rivers and mountains and coastlines to place it exactly at the centre of their most sacred site, then the stone wasn’t just building material. It was a message written in rock for someone. We just haven’t figured out who… the stones are still talking ….

‘The fact that all of Stonehenge's rocks originate from distant parts of the country suggests that Neolithic Britain may have been a far more joined up interconnected culture than we've been taught.’

The ‘sheer will power’ of a creative vision will always work to manifest good effect.

CONNECTING OUR THREE LANDS - BEING CO-CREATORS OF A NEW PLANETARY HUMAN

Gatekeeper is now working with Peter and Sarah Dawkins’ pilgrimage events across Britain, linking with groups in Ireland to collaborate with annual festivals. Our research reveals the oldest evidence of these Isles being chosen as truly sacred and ‘poetic’ in the sense of the ‘pure poet’, the spiritual interpretation of the constellation of Cygnus. Poetically, we are reaching out with different types of artistic activities, using lanterns, mandala and maps etc.

READ THIS AGAIN it looks like it is a very ‘long view’ accomplished by a culture with minimum technology: The discovery implies a huge ‘collaboration of people’ involved in bringing the stone from near Cathness. What implications are there for us regarding the ‘long view’ of bridging the British Isles with a harmonic unity discovered thousands of years ago?

THE MAJOR TRANSFORMATION OF THE PLANET AND HUMANITY IN THE GREAT AGE

As individual pilgrims, what questing focus do we create for ourselves, having a ‘long view’ of planetary transformation? Aries is now the magical focus of our imagination, as spiritual warriors. What reconstructions do we want to happen in our global culture? Who forms our ‘dream team’ in collaborating with our ‘fiery hope’ of deep ‘New Great Age’ transformation?
