Death Doulas, Isis, Venus and Sirius

This is a time for letting go, renewing ourselves with faith regardless of how difficult the past has been, and stepping into a new reality envisioned in our hearts, and acted upon with all of our courage and creative self-confidence.

Sirius as our Star Guide

Sirius is an ancient and massive star system which resonates with higher frequency sound (I heard it in altered state once, so familiar and beautiful that tears flowed).

Sirius has a special relationship with the Sun, which was acknowledged in ancient Egypt when New Year would coincide with the conjunction of these two luminaries.

Fixed stars are not visible in solar conjunction, but regain their visibility from our human perspective, as they rise in the East, immediately before dawn, like a glorious cosmic lightworker literally bringing their light to the darkness of night, indicating not only a new day, but an entirely new cycle is upon us.

Sirius is considered the Spiritual Sun to our Sun, and to the Sun, what the Sun is to Earth. It’s a bit like a grandfather star system. The Sirius star system holds its own cosmic note, and our Sun knows how to hear and align with that note, as though it were responding to a cosmic tuning fork. Sirius is a bit like an elite team of spiritual mentors for our Sun.

When we connect with Sirius (with intention, and perhaps a bit of stellar light bathing at night, and perhaps also invoking the goddess Isis and the goddess Tara, both of whom have forms as the star Sirius), we are attuning ourselves to a higher frequency of consciousness that can burn through confusion, doubt and hesitation, and remind us of who we are and what we came to this planet to do.

Sacredness of Number 7 and 5

The exact moment of the heliacal rising of Sirius – when it rises just before the Sun at dawn, after being invisible to us here on Earth for a time – varies depending on location. We can all celebrate the solar conjunction with Sirius during July each year, with the 7th day of the 7th month as our marker. 

Why would we do this? It is taught in the Western Mystery traditions that Sirius is the stellar gateway for higher spiritual consciousness to reach the Earth. The 7th chakra and the 7th dimension of spiritual consciousness are spiritual gateways in Western Mystery Traditions which have evolved from syncretic spiritual traditions from Egypt, as well as Greece and India. In Pythagorean spiritual numerology, the 7 combined the physical number 4 with the spiritually creative number 3 and we end up with the number 7 representing the sacred potential of humanity. 

In Christianity, this is the four corners of the earth united with the holy trinity. In Judaism, it is the Sabbath, the holy day of rest after work. In Ancient India we have references to the 7 worlds that create the Universe, the 7 rivers from which various civilisations emerged, and the 7 great sages known as the Saptarishis.  

The 7 is a symbol of a stepping up and into a new cycle, with a quality of spiritual evolution.

In esoteric astrology, number 5 relates to paradigm shifts, especially when obstacles have prevailed for far too long. This is the type of healing chaos that allows for disruption of status quo and flow of fresh energy for positive change.

It is also connected to the five petalled rose or pentagram of the planet Venus as she makes her cosmic dance in the skies with the Sun and Earth. Venus, similar to Sirius, is a cosmic luminary and spiritual guide for Earth. Venus is like Earth’s big sister, helping reveal the path of evolution supported by wild Divine Feminine wisdom.

The number 5 is also associated with the afterlife in ancient Egyptian thought, which signifies the power of 5 to create breakthroughs into higher realities, something which both Venus and Sirius help us accomplish with the sheer power of their radiant consciousness.

The Solar Promise of Goddess Isis

The Ancient Egyptian Goddess Isis was believed to be one of the divine beings emanating from Sirius, and she ensouled the star in the form of Goddess Sopdet (or Sothis) as a divine personification of Sirius. 

With her annual stellar rising, and the flooding of the Nile, she was a goddess of prosperity and abundance, fertility and blessings. 

Recognised as the divine mother – of Venus, no less – with the five-pointed star upon her head, Sopdet – Isis, is a guiding and protective, regenerative and loving force. She brings spiritual light.

Divine Death Doula

Sopdet-Isis is also known as a psychopomp. Although I cannot help but find this word hilarious, the nature of the role itself I hold in deep reverence, for it is about guiding the souls across thresholds. If we wanted less snort-laugh inducing terminology we could perhaps call her a divine death doula or a death-walker.

All births and beginnings hold the paradox of occurring very close to death. Death itself is seen as a portal into new life in numerous spiritual belief systems around the globe, including that of Ancient Egypt. 

“Embracing symbolic spiritual death is part of how we become more alive. We shed the skins that we have outgrown, just like one of the hieroglyphs associated with Sopdet which is the cobra. The snake sheds its skin when it outgrows it. The snake can be a symbol of growth and also of cleansing, purification and renewal.

Goddess Isis and the Divine Masculine

Another symbol integral to the hieroglyphic depiction of Sopdet is the upwards facing triangle. In the spiritual traditions of India, Nepal and Tibet, this represents the upward flowing energy of awakening, or masculine spiritual energy or light. In alchemy it represents the element of fire. Sopdet-Isis shines the solar promise of light, of spiritual ascension, and most importantly, of the nourishment for the feminine earthly expressions of being that occurs when spiritual growth is genuine.

The link between Goddess Isis and the healing of the masculine energies is powerful. She overcomes the toxic, destructive masculinity of Set, who murders her husband. She moves through a challenging journey towards reclaiming her lost husband, and birthing her son, Horus, a solar deity who returns wisdom, justice, light and order to the chaos of destructive jealousy wrought by Set. Isis teaches us that the love, resourcefulness, wisdom and patience of the feminine is what conquers toxic masculinity and allows space for a healed masculinity to be born.

Amplified Healing Channels

There are certain times throughout the year when the spiritual dimensions align cosmically with earth to provide what I would describe as amplified prayer channels. It’s a bit like a spiritual sit-down with the Great Ones. Just as the moon appears closer during a super moon, during these amplified spiritual happenings, the Great Ones who are always aware of us, loving and caring for us, are a little more accessible to humanity.

The rising of Sirius is one of those spiritual boosts to bridge the divide in consciousness and that temporary vibration-elevation helps us see, sense and feel more clearly at a spiritual level. I encourage you to take advantage of this, and on 7/7 (which is a powerful number for channelling healing, spiritual wisdom and higher understanding) perhaps consider a prayer practice or sacred offering of whatever truly speaks to your heart.

To invoke Sirius, Venus, Goddess Isis (and other enlightened Divine Feminine beings) amplifies the flow of positive divine energy which can clear obstructions, infuse our hearts with the energy we need to think and move differently, outgrowing our difficulties and expanding our purposeful expression with more bliss in our hearts and minds.

Genuine Spiritual Masters

One of the most beautiful Full Moons of the year, the Full Moon in Capricorn occurs around the Sirius rebirth, typically falling in July. This is also known as Guru Purnima, or the Full Moon of the Masters.

It’s my experience that genuine spiritual masters don’t give a hoot what religion you follow. They want your enlightenment and freedom for you, they want you to embrace the truth of your soul journey and manifest your divine destiny. They want the best for you in every possible way because that is what love is and what love does.  

That sense of being totally embraced, held and supported is a reflection of what occurs spiritually during this Full Moon, and in every genuine connection with a spiritual master, regardless of what the moon happens to be doing at the time.

You could imagine every master from every tradition, every genuine teacher, every skilful guide, and Bodhisattva and saviour and redeemer, all of them, totally united at the heart level, and shining their goodness, grace, wisdom and love like a big lunar beam onto Earth, bathing all her precious creatures, including all of humanity, in a spiritual live-stream. Full moons can be very special in that regard, however as we develop this awareness in our own hearts, we can tune into it daily, aligning with a protective field of energy that is transformational and gracious in effect.

Because humanity has a special role as channels for spiritual energies on Earth, these lunar flows to stimulate unified spirituality is particularly significant to our human family. A prayer practice or meditation during the Full Moon can be spiritually potentiating in a way that uplifts you, uproots karmic stagnancy and allows you to move more freely and joyfully towards your destiny.

Our Five Enlightened Mothers – Kuan Yin, Isis, Mother Mary, Tara and Kali – are Divine Feminine activators, working with the higher heart consciousness – esoterically embodied in cosmic radiation from Venus (and Sirius, the Sun and the Moon) – to break through obstacles, and create vitalised pathways for deep purpose and personal freedom to manifest.

New Moon in Leo 

The Full Moon of the Masters is followed by the New Moon in Leo, that affirmation of heart and fresh starts once more. Leo rules the heart, and the Cosmic Lion as the signifier of Leo (its cosmic spirit animal, if you will) roars with courage. 

This is an actual happening each year, but it is also symbolic guidance for us daily to refresh ourselves in the heart and find the courage and confidence to move forward in our lives by doing so.

The New Moon in Leo can be a time to give your heart permission to take up some space in your life. The soul can be relegated to the side-lines far too often. Coming off the spiritual free flow of the shining light of Sirius, we can allow new heart truth, a soul vision, a deep yearning quest of your spirit to become known to us. Through a simple prayer offering, you can ask the Universe to support you in fulfilment of your heart, for the spiritual benefit of all beings.

When we move from the heart, and recognise the power in our heart’s energy field to shift energy and contribute to more gracious realities unfolding, we increase our magnetism and conscious connection with Divine Feminine. To invite such enlightened activity in our lives amplifies beauty, blessings and bravery to live the fullness of who you are and what you were born to share with the world.
