Wheel of Life Full Moon Meditation – Pisces Sun / Virgo Moon

Tuesday 3 March

Wheel of Life Full Moon Meditation - Pisces sun / Virgo moon – 3rd March 2026
12-noon

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.

Sun in Pisces, Water, the Mystic and Healer
Moon in Virgo, Earth, the Artisan Crafting Beauty

Bolingbroke Castle

This month with the moon in Virgo on the British Landscape Zodiac, we pilgrimage to Lincolnshire and Bolingbroke Castle.

Bolingbroke Castle is situated in east Lincolnshire, in today’s village of Old Bolingbroke. It is now a ruin, having been dismantled after the Civil War. The castle would have been situated on the edge of the extensive marshes that ran south to The Wash before they were drained in the 1800’s. Built in the 1220’s by Ranulf de Blundeville, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, the castle was later inherited by the powerful John of Gaunt, guardian of Richard II, through his first wife, Blanche of Lancaster, who was born there. In 1367 the future Henry IV was born at the castle. Blanche died soon afterwards aged only 22 she had given birth to 7 children, of whom 3 survived.

Possible painting of Katherine Swynford

The romantic story of John of Gaunt and his mistress, Katherine Swynford, began here. Katherine was married to Hugh Swynford who was in the service of John of Gaunt. Katherine became a trusted member of Blanche’s household and when Blanche died, Katherine was appointed governess to John and Blanche’s children. After the death of her husband, Katherine became the long-term mistress of John of Gaunt, continuing at Court to manage his household. Together they had 4 children who were given the surname Beaufort, from their father’s lost lordship of Anjou. The relationship was (supposedly) broken off when John of Gaunt married his second wife, Constance of Castile. However, when Constance died in 1394, John openly continued his affair with Katherine and in 1396, to the horror of the court, he married Katherine, who was not of royal blood. This legitimised their children who became powerful figures in history. Their great-grandson was Henry Tudor, son of Margaret Beaufort, who became Henry VII, the first Tudor King of England.

Here is a powerful message from Peter Dawkins to our Irish friends on turning the three wheels and the importance of the Triple Goddess at this time.

“Thank you so much for all your work and effort that you are putting in to turning Ireland’s wheel St Brigid-wise. Yes, she is truly wise. The effects are enormous and all in right timing. As Sarah says, Britain (England and Wales) is in somewhat of a doldrum, pressed down by many centuries of ingrained dogma; but this year there is going to be a rapid shift, freeing up all the goodness and good energy, good thought, in people, and thereby releasing the land from its captivity. I can feel it; I can see it. Even outwardly it is starting to appear. For me, it is all so heart-warming, so encouraging, and at the same time so overwhelming. I weep at the same time I am feeling joy. I weep at all the suffering in the world, and I joy at all the friendships and love expressed, and the breakthroughs out of all the imposed negativity. I am reminded again and again that this is only the beginning, and that there is still some time for all the wheels to turn in the world; but the Three Lands is the start of it all. They are the home of the Triple Goddess, and she gets things going! She inspires, she motivates, she loves; and all we have to do is to love her in return and do her bidding. She is Brigid, she is Ériu, she is Britanna, she is Minerva, she is Athena, she is Sophia; she is the goddess of many names. She is the goddess of wisdom because her pure intelligence knows the wisdom. She gives form to the life-force energy of divine Wisdom known as the Word, the form of which is the Name – names such as we give the goddess in our many languages, but also all the wheels of life that fill the universe, including our planet and solar system, with each wheel being a cosmos. Microcosms within macrocosms. She is the intelligence behind all outer form. Landscape angels are part of her. Nature beings are part of her. Zodiacs or chakras are part of her. We are part of her. The joy is to be able to work with her, be guided by her, and to love her just as she loves us, always, devotedly. It is humbling to be so loved, and to be able to love her. Lover and beloved, reciprocated, in unity.
With lots of love, Peter”

As we turn our wheel I pass you on to Charlotte in the British Landscape Zodiac sun sign of Pisces.

PISCES – our inner ‘mystic’

Devotion to our Beloved unconditional love and truth – we are incarnating the spirit of universal love and truth, creating new worlds in co-creation with the soul of perfection within our planet.

THE ‘BOAR’S HEAD’ OF THE BRITISH LANDSCAPE

The PISCES SUN Quest: how can I express my inspiration and devotion for unconditional love?
The Intuitive suggestion (VIRGO MOON) – perfectionistic crafting, purity, precision testing, cultivating perfection of beauty within a material/personal context.

Expressing our star-self cosmic heritage: ‘Incarnational Spirituality’

Extracts below are from ‘Links with Space’ by David Spangler:
SELF LIGHT …acknowledging self light as a felt sense within you, within your body, and not just as an abstraction
or intellectual idea, the value and importance of being who you are, the rightness of loving who you are, and the recognition that you have something to give the world that no one else can give. They enable you to see your subtle nature as a radiant source and yourself as a “star” of Light, a producer, not just a consumer. It is important to affirm that subtle action is a complement to and not a substitute for physical action. We are physical beings with thoughts and feelings, and we live in a world that is responsive to these things. We are incarnated precisely to take advantage of our physical and psychological abilities in service to the world.

THE CREATIVE PURPOSES OF OUR INDWELLING ANGELS

Our cosmic purpose - the cosmos and its creation, insights about our role on Earth - serving a cosmic whole and healing ‘creative experiment’

Angelic Guidance through David:

‘Terra became a schoolhouse in the experiences involved in confronting and resolving the challenges of primitive creativity and evolution.’ (p. 38 )

‘The fine tuning of Terra, our schoolhouse of the cosmos, where humanity became part of a schoolhouse for cosmic humanity to learn to be purifiers and redeemers. For, as the Universe was in the process of being created, snippets of ‘disconnected’ creative energy needed to be ‘reincorporated’.

How can we test this in our experience as craft-people and gardeners of creation? If we accept this ‘uncheckable’ information, it might give us more leverage in terms of accepting the ‘shadows’ of earth experience. In our lives we grow in wisdom through non-judgmental acceptance and through nurturing our innate capacity for love wisdom and its power to convert ‘darkness’.

LANDSCAPE TEMPLE RECREATION of MYSTICAL IDEAL - as Gatekeepers, we enquire into the process of incarnation as ‘co-creators’ with a Universe of life, form and spirit. All our experiences are designed to teach us how to re-establish harmony and beauty, reincorporate by-products of creative processes… like all crafts, work can leave some processes incomplete..

Revealing the inner logic of the ‘chakric energies’ as experienced through our bodies, we may also reveal similar ‘energy systems’ of the landscape temples around us, or even create new ones where outgrowth of cityscapes etc encourage the focus of creative energy working.

LANDSCAPE TEMPLES IN PISCES IN THE BRITISH ZODIAC

South Wales – ‘Pumpsaint Temple of the Stars’ by Lewis Edwards. https://www.morien-institute.org/pumpsaint.html is often referred to as the ‘Caer Sidi’ of tradition:

‘Caer Sidi (or Caer Siddi) is a mythical, revolving "Faerie Fortress" or "Otherworld" castle found in medieval Welsh literature, specifically the Book of Taliesin and the poem Preiddeu Annwn. It is depicted as a magical, sea-bound island fortress where Arthur and his men travel to steal a cauldron. It is often associated with the Welsh Otherworld (Annwn) and the goddess Arianrhod.’

As we quest for our spiritual work for this present day global transition, how do we become finely tuned to the needs of Humanity?

VIRGO - ‘fine tuning’ as gardeners of beauty…. Incarnating our ‘star self’ and activating evolutionary paths. Down the history of the last Great Age of Pisces I expect that leadership and craftsmanship through devotion were the focus. Now we welcome Aquarius ‘unity in diversity’ and deep-bedded thinking tools now gather our highest insights.

Opposite Pisces our full moon in Virgo reflects all that is extraordinary and inspiring from our cosmic origins: our quest is how to express our creative, cultivator of beauty within our intuition. How does this reflect within our hearts and daily life?

MEGALITHIC ALIGNMENTS WITH WALES

GATHERING OUR DEEPEST ROOTS: THE MEGALITHIC CONNECTION

Howard Crowhurst asks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCrhZxZpH14

‘What I have discovered over the years is that there is a science unknown to us that lies behind the primitive aspect of these stones. They are perfectly orientated using Advanced Geometry [Music] They are linked to astronomy, use precise measurements, they include symbols with deep meaning and they are linked to each other over long distances …. Is this the lost language that the whole earth once spoke?’

Migration of the Veneti and the Druids away from the Roman Invasion…

The quintessence of PISCES is that our star origins lay the foundation of our ‘inner mystic’ and after Aquarius ‘the thinker/visionary’ in the ‘roundtable’ path of initiation. It is here that we send our devotion up to higher levels of resonance, declaring our commitment to ‘limitless love and truth’, our divine origins. From this point in the early springtime of the year that we bring our heart vision to the altar of our ‘star self/self-light’.

LINKS WITH THE EAST AND THE KYMRY migration:

https://sovereignwales.com/tag/kolbrin-bible

‘Wilson and Blackett are also renowned for their huge body of research on Brenin Arthur /King Arthur and state that two Arthurs existed: King Arthur I who died in 400 AD and King Arthur II who died in 579AD.
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.’

In his book ‘THE HOLY KINGDOM’ by Adrian Gilbert, he features these Welsh historians to create deeper roots as he sets out the historians’ work of Baram Blackett and Alan Wilson. These historians present maps of the circle of forts of the King of Glamorgan. He records these historians discovering the true origins of the Welsh King Arthurs:

‘Arthurian research: In 1976, after a chance meeting with historical researcher, Anthony Thomas 'Baram' Blackett, at the public library in Newcastle upon Tyne, the two men decided to put up many thousands of pounds of their own money to fund full-time research into the origins of King Arthur. The Arthurian stories, so popular today, came out of South-Eastern Wales into France, via the Normans, in the 12th century and this encouraged them to start their search in the same place. The search soon moved beyond Wales to include the English Midlands which had been dominated by the old Welsh Kingdoms for centuries. To date, Wilson and Blackett have published seven books that provide information based upon Old Welsh records that date to the 12th Century. They believe that these provide a final solution to the King Arthur story and have clearly identified the true sites of the battles of Badon (Mynydd Baedan) and Camlann. https://world-lecture-project.org/videos/B0D3DB4A-81DE-11EB-BBE1-00D861A8BA28/

He quotes Blackett and Wilson’s work to establish the language link between Welsh and middle eastern languages.

Mr Wilson states that the known recorded history of Britain starts in and around 1500 -1350 BC, possibly earlier, with large scale migration into Europe and Britain from ancient Mesopotamia (corresponding to modern-day Iraq and Kuwait, north eastern Syria and parts of Turkey and Iran) and a later mass migration from around 500BC of those descended from both the lost tribes of Israel and those descended from the besieged city of Troy in what is now western Turkey. These are believed to have travelled to Britain via northern Italy and the European continent. To add to this, 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 from around 1170 BC and became the first known King of the Britons, starting what is the true Royal Brythonic dynasty of Britain. ,,,,

This research builds upon the geomantic precision building techniques recently discovered at Gobekli Tepe where Howard Crowhurst questions whether Abraham visited those extraordinary sanctuary sites SE of Turkey. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdo-L32m3kk

GLAMORGANSHIRE AND THE WELSH KING ARTHURS

Baram Blackett worked to establish the origins of King Arthur. In S. Wales the castles of the knights of the king were situated around in a circle, so that the king could visit his country courts and establish the law of the land.

Alan Wilson and his colleague lectured extensively in the United Kingdom, including Manchester and Jesus College at the University of Oxford, and Alan Wilson gave the prestigious Bemis Lecture in Boston in 1993.
https://world-lecture-project.org/videos/B0D3DB4A-81DE-11EB-BBE1-00D861A8BA28/

The tradition of the ‘warrior king’ was taken to France where the legend of King Arthur’s knights and their Round Table was born.

The ring of forts around Caerleon

 

Hill forts around Caer Melyn

 

Hill forts in North Gwent

 

Hill forts around Pentremeurig.

We have here a template for Welsh kings to both protect their kingdoms with their knights and to travel round the periphery with constitutional law courts of the land, in which the people could engage in sovereign debate.

Quest: are the alignments of ancient societies, that later generated ‘Pythagorean’ measurements and sacred science proportions, used as ‘song lines’ and vibrational construction of sacred groves and sanctuaries of cities and other areas?

THE LANDSCAPE TEMPLES OF PISCES/AQUARIUS IN WALES

On the cusp of Aquarius and Pisces is the Bristol Channel.

THE THREE ZODIACS OF WALES As foundation stones for the ‘New Aquarian Age’: Llansennen, Pumpsaint and Gwenneth.

THE PISCESAN LANDSCAPE AS A DEEP RECEPTACLE OF WISDOM
‘TheOrigin of the Zodiac’ by Hugh Evans, and the work of Wilson and Blackett both seem to be hinting at the very early origins of the way the zodiac was subsequently translated as ‘King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table’, following the tradition of the King of Glamorgan and his circle of first.
HUGH EVANS

A screenshot of Gwynnedd zodiac.

Hugh Evans has rediscovered a stunning landscape 'Star Map' in Gwynedd, North Wales. Centred on the mountain range of Cader Idris in Gwynedd. All around are standing stones and castles.

What is extraordinary is that Hugh Evans has interpreted ‘The Origin of Number’ and what he analysed as the early Sumerian language roots.

It points to this area of the planet as a place of ancient civilisation, laying down a blueprint for cultures that followed. Other research quoted above by Baram Blackett and Alan Wilson show the links to the Kolbrin tests and the use of the name ‘Kumri’ in the East.

LAMPETER/PUMPSAINT ZODIAC
‘In Wales its significance was greater. ‘Sidydd’ is the Welsh word for Zodiac. Caer Sidi, the ‘Paradise’ of ancient Welsh literature, has always puzzled commentators. May it not be a reference to the Circle of the Zodiac formed by the hills, rivers and valleys of the Pumpsaint area?’

THE THREE ZODIACS OF WALES

  1. Llansannen
  2. Gwynedd – Hugh Evans – the origins of language and number depicted in landscape shaping.
  3. Pumpsaint

The triplicity of ‘wheels of life’ and of the cosmos…

Further analysis of the symbols encoded in landscape design point to the archetypes of the human psyche - and the growth of language connected to mythology that was designed to awaken the ‘inner star self’ within humanity. The ‘inner mystic’ within us is connected to the cosmic logos expressing through Planet Earth’s human civilisations. As the wisdom of the stars impacts upon the planet through human evolution, so does the wisdom of the Universe manifest:

THE PISCEAN QUEST FOR THE SPIRIT OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE INCARNATE IN A NEW WORLD:

THROUGH ‘TEMPLE’ CREATION – Our lives are an ongoing experiment of love in action, invention, innovation in the present instant.

The daily ‘Mystic Moment’

EVERYDAY MYSTIC DIARY: My experiences have been very illuminating: having tuned into the ‘Kindly Luminous Beings’ of my living landscape – having driven over our local hilltop, the town in which we lead our daily lives, working, communicating, building energy fields between each other…. I sense a surge of relaxation through my feet, a lightness of emotion, an opening of the heart, a translucence of mind…. It is a reality, it is happening, lifting our heavy burdens of memory and yearning. This is our environment enclosing our physical energy systems, and setting free our etheric insights through our mind, our astral ‘felt sense’ through my body. This is where new creation is born, as I explore my open heart of self acceptance, and willingness to be a conduit for the timeless mystery of our human incarnation. Where we meet is the praxis, the intervention of an aware mind, open heart. We have shared coffee together, we share fleeting insights, we digest recent events briefly and compassionately, we accept the conditions of conscious emergences, yet with simple terms of reference: empathic responses: we are all in a ‘trans-section of reality’, working to allow new insights to form between us. A simple litening acceptance is all that is needed, and we as conscious witnesses to physical circumstances await the warmth of human laughter, light hearted joking reflections and the recognition light in each other’s eyes. Here we are in the present moment, reaching out and accepting a new moment that will work through the days ahead into our memory, our incarnation of love and enjoyment of each other. The unique moment of union of ‘inner selves’ of light, the initiative of awakening together. Angels of cosmic intent fly between us in these meetings of everyday ‘communion’.

THE ARTS, and ‘CULTIVATING TEMPLE CHAKRAS’ THROUGH SOUND

Attuning to ‘LEELA – Goddess of Evolution and the play of evolution. As researchers reveal lost iconography and alphabetical continuity within the landscape, we can also develop a playful relationship with Nature’s landscapes and plants. She inspires us with cosmic laws recreativity.

‘Nature is Our Teacher Cards’ – a Creative Journal approach – being inspired by montage images of natural growth.

Montage of the tall purposeful trees of Exmoor.
The arts as ‘tuning fork’ for capturing the living resonance of Nature.

‘The Forest of Learning’ – journaling the ‘stretch of imagination’ which is a part of growing through evolutionary challenge and change…. Nature knows how. Each experience of internal challenge brings new insight, through playful interaction with Nature, as we learn to ‘catch’ a new perspective, as we watch plants grow and adapt. This inspiration came to me as I walked through Exmoor’s moss-covered paths, and captured the small details of new growth and old growth competing for space. We are exhilarating in adapting to new experiences and growing. In sacred space this ‘wonderment’ can be celebrated and reflected, colouring our lives with the joy and dance of growing new selves and abilities.

We are at the interchange of ‘great ages’ of evolution. A deep shift of perspective is emerging into our human family’s consciousness, where boundaries are dissolving, and values re-considering. Nature is drawing our imagination into deeper resonance as we ‘tune in’ with technology. Older tradition confirms a universal language of our ‘inner life’ which now we access through eastern mysticism, mindfulness, chants and meditational techniques.

PERSONAL GROWTH THROUGH TRANSCENDENCE

The roots have been laid, and in Gatekeeper pilgrimages we explore the use of the arts in honouring the spirit of place, in a dialogue of love that brings natural wisdom to mind. The ‘Great Age’ of Aquarius symbolises the archetypical path of ‘unity in diversity’ that King Arthur and the ‘Round Table’ democratic ideal of ‘Constitutional Law of the Land’ represent.
