The Total Solar Eclipse only visible in the Antarctic Peninsula and the southernmost tip of South America and Australia is at totality at 1:33 am Central Saturday morning, December 4. The partial eclipse opens at 1:00 am and completes at 2:06 am with the full eclipse lasting nearly an hour and totality lasting nearly two minutes.
The next Total Solar Eclipse will be in 18 months.
This Sagittarius Eclipse activates Antares, the Royal Star of the Scorpion Constellation and Mercury is aligned with the Great Attractor so the potency of our thoughts and words is increased and we can connect to our own Royal Heart--more in my podcast.
Venus at Greatest Brilliancy
As if the Eclipse weren't enough, tonight, December 3 Venus is at her greatest brilliancy.--brightest to us--in the Evening Sky TONIGHT. She will of course remain very bright through the coming week as she begins her descent to the horizon over the coming month.
Also look for her Sunday night December 6 with the crescent moon "on her throne" as the gorgeous Love Goddess she is in her brightest Evening Star apparition.
Venus is the Earth's Twin or Mirror being the same size as Earth, same composition, and spinning in the opposite direction.
There are many riddles inherent in her nature and cycles but one we have been experiencing and most powerfully today is the fact that when she is in her crescent phase (yes, planets also have phases like the Moon), she appears brightest to us.
She is completing her Gemini Evening Star Phase which began in May this year. Over that period of time she has met the Moon 7 times and in the tales of the Great Goddess Inanna this means she has reclaimed her Seven Great Powers including her Crown of Sovereignty and now sits on her throne fully exalted.
The Sumerian priestess and scholar Enheduanna devoted her life to writing praise poems to Inanna/Venus. Take note that Inanna was a Goddess of War as well as of Love.
For this reason and because there were distortions in the cultures she emerges from such as systems of power over and glorification of war, I have taken the liberty of changing the words in the final stanzas to honor her new evolving and perhaps ancient nature as one who empowers EACH of us regardless of social status or rank, to claim our FULL ROYALTY and shine our light, stand for Peacemaking and contribute to the healing of the whole.
If you speak these words aloud in addressing the Great Love Goddess in the Sky, the Great Queen who has regained her throne, realize she lives IN YOU whether you are in a male body, a female body, or a body defying labels.
Lady of all divine powers,
Lady of the all-resplendent light,
Righteous Lady clothed in heavenly radiance,
Beloved Lady of the Sky God and the Earth Mother
Mistress of heaven with the holy jeweled crown
Who loves the beautiful headdress befitting the office of her high priestess,
Powerful Mistress who has seized all seven divine powers,
My lady, you are the guardian of the seven divine powers!
You have seized the divine powers,
You hold the divine powers in your hand,
You have gathered up the divine powers,
You have clasped the divine powers to your breast!
Like a dragon you have cast your bright light upon all the lands
When you claim your right to embody and shine on the Earth at this time, all will feel the power of your divine love emanating from within themselves.
Your love so fiery and yet so sweet, offering sacred waters to heal all the dry scorched lands.
O Mighty Lady of Earth and Sky you will help them to remember and Goddess of Love, the Goddess of personal Sovereignty, the Feminine Divine Rising to Bring our World Back into Balance.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
