Nogah/Venus and the seven weeks-Rosh HaShanah5768

The most joyous of days in the Hebrew calendar is on Monday with TuB'Av, the full moon of the month of the Aryeh/Lion in the summertime of life. We are also now in the seven weeks of consolation/49 days between TishaB'Av and the new turn of the wheel-Rosh HaShanah-of the very magical calendar. This year is very special and as is stated in previous posts these few days between the 9th and 15th- we are experiencing an awesome planetary dance involving me'adim/Mars and shabbatai/Saturn in the lion and the bull. Other planets are also very involved and now it is a good time to discuss Nogah/Venus. The kamea associated with Nogah is shown above with the "49" boxes that connect us with the 49 day cycles(7X7) and the number 25 is in the central palace box and connects Venus with Me'adim/Mars who has the 25-5X5 kamea and the 25 letters of the Shema. The outer boxes of both kameas-Mars and Venus are 24+48=the 72 wings of the Seraphim and the sacred names. These seven weeks parallel the seven "lower" sephirot or depths/omakim that involve the emotional world(7 "days"of manifestating a world). The three weeks of "mourning" involved the three "highest" sephirot of the "intelligent" world. The emotions make manifest the more rarefied spheres so to speak. Today the planet Nogah/Venus goes into her 40 day retrograde(moving backwards) period that occurs every 20 months or so. This forty day period is very symbolic and archetypal in the wisdom traditions around the globe. We can especially relate to the forty days that Moshe Rabbeinu spent on Har Sinai, this weeks parsha is about the sacred tablets of stone and the ten suggestions as the Zohar calls the "commandments". The planet Nogah/venus corresponds to the 4th of the seven midot/sephirot-netzach, and during the fourth week of this seven week period-on Elul 8/August 22, Venus reappears in the sky as a bright dawn star after being gone from the sky in conjunction with the Shemesh/sun for eight days. Venus has been the evening star for many months up till now. This is a spectacular synchronicity! All of this gets quite involved since the venus cycle is geared to the number eight-years and we are also within the eight year period of the very rare Venus transit of the sun-2004-2012 which only happens about once a century. The last was 1882, a year very significant to the eventual founding of the State of Israel. This eight year period now, we are witnessing the whole world manifesting the peace of the true holy land that the entire mother Earth is experiencing. We are speaking about wheels within wheels, cycles within cycles and how the planets veil the heavenly spheres in a way that is helping bring the true redemptive dawn to the entire world. Nogah(means dawn)/venus in the kabbalistic tradition involves Moses, Mordechai and Esther(whose name means venus/star) and the "lower" limbs/legs of the complete Adam qadmon in netzach and Hod, which correspond to the planets Venus and Mercury. As stated elsewhere in these writings we began the forty year period of the prophesied ingathering of exiles in 5750/1990 and this summer we are completing two full eight year cycles of Nogah/Venus which began in the summer of 5751/1991 during the dissolution of the soviet union. In fact the eight days that venus was gone from the sky in the summer of 1991 were very tumultuous and significant in that whole process. The entire geulah/redemptive period began at that time and we are now experiencing this process at a more comprehensive level of manifestation. Since the planetary dance is so closely aligned with the sephirot and the sacred calendar cycle we can truly expect the Roar of Peace to continue to get louder as we approach the physical sound of the festival of the Shofar/trumpets. The Ram's horn is directly connected to the heaven of Me'Adim/Mars and the sign telah/aries which is also connected to the month of Nisan and the geulah. The three hags/festivals of the Hebrew calendar are intimately connected. The redemption from slavery/constriction happens in Nisan, haShem sounds the Ram's horn in Shavuoth-49 days later and then 49 days after the 9th of Av, we, the priestly people must sound the trumpet that gathers the entire Earth into the Shalom/Shalem, the peace of the Malchuth/kingdom(7th of the seven weeks) of sacred Life. The three omakim/depths of Gevurah(strength)-Tiphereth(balance)-Netzach(eternity) are veiled by the planets/spheres - Me'adim/mars, Shemesh/sun and Nogah/Venus and they hold within their dance the eternal beith haMikdash, the temple of eternal life in the being/soul continuum. These seven weeks, we as guardians of the temple Earth, dance in fields of life and marry the lovers of omak/depth(crown) and silence/ dumiyah(kingdom). Baruch HaShem.
