Remembering The Golden Gate: a 2021 reflection
Remembering the Golden Gate
In January, I had a dream that guided me to learn about The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic - a special stretch of sky between two star clusters known as The Hyades and The Pleiades.
If you were to look up at the sky, you may first see The Hyades (five bright stars in the shape of V) and then you’d see a blank stretch of sky before seeing a cluster of six to seven bright stars (depending on your light pollution) known as The Pleiades. But really, there are so many stars - hundreds of stars that you can’t even see, not with your naked eye.
It goes like this:
a cluster of over 500 stars known as THE HYADES
[A STRETCH OF SKY KNOWN AS THE GOLDEN GATE]
a cluster of over 800 stars known as THE PLEIADES
Here’s a picture (from The Farmers’ Almanac):
Throughout the year, I received more and more messages about this gate and what it means for us. I wrote all about it in the Astro Notes and in The Golden Gate Reading, so I won’t go into all the details now. Instead, what I want to give you now is a message I found myself rereading this fall - just as the destiny point (a.k.a. the karmic north node of the moon) finished crossing the stretch of sky known as The Golden Gate.
FUN STORY: The destiny point completed this crossing on October 20th, and two days later, I sent my first newsletter in a year. In it, I announced the whole new Magic Guide. Later that exact same day, the official The Magic Guide trademark arrived in the mail. I had first applied for this in February! And while I’d heard with Harvest Season that it was going to be approved, the actual approval and pretty certificate with the golden seal from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office didn’t arrive until October, and it just happened to arrive on the same day - of all days - that I announced the NEW Magic Guide. It felt like love and support. It felt like destiny. And I immediately ordered a basic black frame to put it in, to hang in my home office next to my growing Magic Guide vision board. The frame arrived four days later, and when I opened it up, the stock picture inside just happened to be of…THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.
And I’m writing this now - the day after channeling the Gemini Full Moon note - and laughing because that note ended up being all about the idea of THE BRIDGE. *facepalm* God I love this world. It’s wild and magical, and I just couldn’t make this stuff up if I tried. And so I will continue writing nonfiction instead of fiction because this life has all the magic I need.
And now for the message!
As we approach the end of 2021, I invite you to read this channeled message and reflect on the ways that it encapsulates this entire year. I first shared the message in February, but really, when I reread it, I realized - THIS IS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. And I’ve altered one word in the message below to reflect this.
Some Background: I channeled this message at the end of January 2021 - at the start of the year - and after I received it, I was told that it came from The Golden Gate itself and all of the stars in the The Hyades and The Pleiades. So when you read it and you see “we” - they are talking about the stars.

THE MESSAGE
Up here, we are HIGH above the earth
High high higher still
A showering of wealth and gifts from here
Showering down on us
On earth
There is a showering
A SHOWING
OF MAGNANIMOUS MAGNITUDE
For you we see a heart that is pure
We see a heart that is true
We know that you are here for a reason
We know that that reason is here on earth
For you right now
There’s no need to look up to find us
There’s no need to look down or worry or wonder if you should be doing something different or if you’re not doing enough
THERE IS PLENTY OF TIME
ALL IN GOOD TIME
In good time all will unfold and you are held in the blanket of time, held, swaddled, like a baby, rocked gently to and fro
Just let the world shower you here
In your nesting place
Your resting place
This divine waiting room
The waiting room
Of wonder
Of peace
Of love
Of curiosity
Of awe
Of transition and transformation
Of MATURITY
You and we are maturing now
Growing
Bigger bigger bigger
*seeing bodies grow - just the outline - getting bigger and bigger*
You are expanding INTO YOUR BODY
INTO THE BODY
THE WHOLE BODY IS EXPANDING
Onto infinity
Into infinity
The stars wait for no one because there is no waiting here
You are waiting because you have been blessed
With the awareness of time
Enjoy it all
Appreciate it all
Know that there is ALL OF THE WORLD WAITING WITH YOU
For you
To know you
To receive you
Your offering is going to be grand
It’s going to unfold
This realization and your knowing of what you are here to do
Because you are not here to do nothing
You are not here to just be and be blessed - though this is true, this is all there is - but there is ACTION TO BE DONE
Can you be and be blessed through the action
This year
Right here
Right now
Be the baby held and swaddled
Be and be blessed
And get ready to go
*Seeing a match lighting gas, igniting a flame, beneath a rocket*
Get ready to
TAKE OFF
AND SOAR
UP HERE
HIGH
HIGHER NOW
WITH US
YOU GO
*seeing the rocket ships zipping around space, their trajectories visible and winding around each other, on a set path, directed, going, going, and there’s nothing to do or that can be done to stop it or impede it, nothing good gets away, it all just keeps winding and spinning and you are about to take off - all in perfect timing.*

A note about this message:
After channeling this message, I wondered: what the heck is “MAGNANIMOUS MAGNITUDE?”
And this is what I heard: THE MOST GENEROUS, LOVING EXPANSION.
But what kind of expansion?
And then I googled “magnanimous magnitude” to see if it was alluding to something in the collective that maybe I wasn’t aware of. I found the words together in a poem on a blog, but what stood out most was the subtitle of the page: “fractal foundation of mathematics.”
And I was like wow, yes, because the image I saw in my mind (described in this line of the message: *seeing bodies grow - just the outline - getting bigger and bigger*) was just like a fractal.
The first body was just a normal human sized body. Then it was like I was zooming out - no longer magnified in on the human level - and I was seeing the same shape of the body but bigger. Then, I zoomed out even farther and saw the same shape again but even bigger, and this is what fractals are. Like the frond of a fern.
If you zoom in on a fern frond and look at just one little piece of one of its leaves, you’ll see that the little leaflet is the exact same shape as the whole leaf, and then as you zoom out, you’ll see that the whole leaf is the exact same shape as the whole frond. In fractal geometry, each part is a copy of the whole, so the same shape keeps repeating regardless of scale.
Fractals are found all throughout nature - in the branches of trees, lightning strikes, blood vessels, etc. etc. etc.
There is order in chaos, order in the wild. Naturally.
So what is happening in this message? What is this really about?
This message - this whole year and the movement of the destiny point through The Golden Gate - is about THE FRACTALS OF REALITY. The ways in which reality is operating on a seemingly infinite number of SCALES. We can zoom in on the tiniest experience of quarks, and we can zoom out to the entire universe and even the multiverse and even to God.
This year was about ZOOMING IN TO TO ZOOM OUT.
All of reality was MAGNIFIED. The small was made big.
So you could see. So we could see.
So ultimately, we could see that THE LAYERS ARE THERE. The big and the small. We can see the sameness in it all - the repeating patterns - and through this, we start to see THE BIGGER BODY AT PLAY. We start to see -
Well…what did you see? What have you seen this year?
To explore these questions even more, turn to The End of Year Ritual. I’ve been doing this one every year for years. Enjoy!
