\nWithin the Shamanic Astrology Paradigm Capricorn, is a culture-bearer sign, that has been
\nholding the distortions of the Patriarchy. At the Turning of the Ages the essence of Capricorn is
\nbeing remembered as Feminine as it is after all an Earth sign. When we engage the Capricorn
\nMysteries we are in service to the Circle of Grandmothers, whose mission is to restore a human
\nculture in harmony with the Earth and the next seven (or several) generations. In 2004, the
\nIndigenous Council of Thirteen Grandmothers came together for the first time. The Circle of
\nGrandmothers was brought to life in a literal, embodied way. This is when humanity most needs
\nCapricorn Grandmother Wisdom fulfilling an ancient prophecy of peace and plenty for all when
\nthe Wisdom of the Grandmothers is again honored and welcomed.
\nIn 2020, The Great Planetary Alignment of Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn is all about
\nGrandmother and Elder Wisdom. The Circle of Grandmothers are at the helm of this Great
\nTurning of the Ages, hospicing the Death of the Old Culture and Midwifing the New Earth. By
\nattuning to our Grandmother Guides and the Grandmother Wisdom residing within each of us,
\nwe will be powerfully guided and strengthened in our work to vision and create new sustainable
\nstructures and culture to replace the dissolving cultures from before.
\nThe Grandmothers Questions To Us\u2026
\n\u2022 What is the impact of the Legacy you are leaving for this world? Is it sustainable, does it
\ncreate beauty?
\n\u2022 Does it empower people to be who they really are?
\n\u2022 \u2022 Is it kind, loving and forgiving?
\n\u2022 Are you creatively communicating your Legacy in joyful, fun and loving ways? \u2022 Are you
\nhelping to restore your sacred relationship with the Earth, inspiring others to do the same?
\n\u2022 Are you wisely caring for your body your personal physical temple that you are living in in
\nthis life?
\n\u2022 How does what you do affect your children, your children\u2019s children and\/or any children you
\nknow and the generations that will follow?
\n\u2022 Are your actions supportive to the Earth, to all those around you, to those who follow in your
\nfootsteps?
\n\u2022 Are you stepping up to consider how important taking loving inspired action is for you, the
\nEarth and the generations to follow?
\n\u2022 Are you calling on the wisdom of your ancestors helping to transform their trauma if there is
\nany, changing the legacy going forward so that it\u2019s not old patterns of competition – killing off
\nour competition – killing off our world – killing off anything that feels threatening – whether
\nfiguratively or literally.

\n\u2022 The Grandmothers Remind Us: Awareness is the first step to changing your point of view and
\nwhen you change your point of view you change your life.
\n\u2022 When you become aware of fear driving your choices are you willing to make conscious
\nchoices that are sustainable for your life and all those connected to you?

\nThe Iroquois Confederacy and the U.S. Destiny:
\nIn 1142 a Total Solar Eclipse swept across Canada and the Northeastern United States.
\nSoon after, the Iroquois Confederacy was formed.
\nThe Confederacy was formed of five previously warring Nations: the Mohawk, Onandoga,
\nOneida, Cayuga, and Seneca.
\nThey were brought together under the counsel of the Peacemaker, who helped them develop the
\nGreat Law of Peace.
\nIn 1987, the United States Senate acknowledged that the Great Law of Peace of the Iroquois
\nNations served as a model for the Constitution of the United States. (U.S. S. Con. Res. 76, 2 Dec.
\n1987).
\nThe Iroquois Confederacy and the U.S. Destiny
\nThe Great Law of Peace includes: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right of
\nwomen to participate in government, separation of powers, checks and balances within
\ngovernment. A government \u201cof the people, by the people by the people and for the people,\u201d<\/p>\n

Grandfather Sky,<\/p>\n
I have walked out here on Mother Earth to speak to you about my purpose. Through a series of unintended events I have found myself here on this land praying to you for guidance. I will speak to you of my gratitude for having this day to touch the mother and sink my toes into her grass. I am thankful for each breath of air that fills my lungs, for the taste of the spirit of water in the bounty which has been provided for me on this day. I will give thanks for the fire of the sun and the light in my eyes. I am thankful to be able to feed from the earth\u2019s abundance and so I can be strong and free from dis-ease.<\/p>\n
Thank you for giving me the time to move through the phases of the moon until my lessons are learned.<\/p>\n
I will stand here at the center of my world and be strong of body, wise of mind of heart. I will build the kingdom, speak the law, know the \u201cMother\u201d and seek the \u201cFather.\u201d<\/p>\n
But mostly I am here to pray. Pray for the enlightenment of the world to create a better understanding of our relationship as stewards of this earth, so we stop exploiting its resources and our brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n
I will pray, but I will also sing and dance with joy in celebration of being a part of this creation.<\/p>\n
