DELPHINUS, THE DOLPHIN CONSTELLATION
The oracular angelic guides of Delphi merge and meander with the futureoriented visionary Aquarian influence through the rock-hard stoic past of Capricorn and spring from the ground as prophetic life carrying waters ~ a flow of guiding wisdom not otherwise available by mortal efforts alone, a flow that leads us from the crystallized past into the unbounded future to become. ~Nick Anthony Fiorenza3 Dolphins were a familiar sight to Greek sailors, so it is not surprising to find one of these friendly and intelligent creatures depicted in the night sky. Delphinus is a constellation in the northern sky, close to the celestial equator. Its name is Latin for dolphin. Delphinus was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and it remains among the 88 modern constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union. It is one of the smaller constellations, ranked 69th in size out of the 88 modern constellations. Three stories account for the presence of the celestial dolphin. According to Eratosthenes, this dolphin represents the messenger of the sea god, Poseidon. In his depiction, once Zeus, Poseidon and Hades had overthrown their father Cronos, they divided up the sky, sea and underworld between them, with Poseidon inheriting the sea. He built himself a magnificent underwater palace, off the island of Euboea. For all its opulence the palace felt empty without a wife, so Poseidon set out in search of one. He courted Amphitrite, one of the groups of sea nymphs called Nereid, but she fled from his rough advances and took

Situated to the North of the Capricorn and Aquarius constellations lies Delphinus1, the Dolphin star system. Delphinus's brightest stars form a distinctive asterism that can easily be recognized. It is bordered2 by Vulpecula the Fox, Sagitta the Arrow, Aquila the Eagle, Aquarius the Water-carrier, Equuleus the Foal and Pegasus the Flying Horse. Delphinus offers guidance for those willing to trust in greater forces for help beyond what their personal efforts can generate alone. The Dolphins, an expression of the angelic dominion, are guides for the wayward, as old salts know. They reveal the way to make safe passage to our destination provided we listen to and follow the serendipity of life. To trust in the serendipity of life is merely to surrender our personal righteous reasoning mind that needs to define and control and to allow ourselves to move with the Divine Intelligence that permeates and fluidly guides our lives. Here is the art of getting out of our own way to allow a creative solution that leads us from the conforming bounds of limited mind.

refuge among the other Nereids. Poseidon sent messengers after her, including a dolphin, who found her and with soothing gestures brought her back to the sea god, whom she subsequently married. In gratitude, Poseidon placed the image of the dolphin among the stars. Another story, given by Hyginus and Ovid, says that this is the dolphin saved the life of Arion, a real-life poet and musician of the 7th century B.C. Arion was born on the island of Lesbos, and his reputation spread throughout Greece for he was said to be unequaled in his skill with the lyre. While Arion was returning to Greece by ship from a concert tour of Sicily, the sailors plotted to kill him and steal the small fortune he had earned. When the sailors surrounded him with swords drawn, Arion asked to be allowed to sing one last song. His music attracted a school of dolphins that swam alongside the ship, leaping playfully. Placing his faith in the gods, Arion leaped overboard ~ and one of the dolphins carried him on its back to Greece, where Arion later confronted his attackers and had them sentenced to death. In gratitude, Apollo, god of music and poetry, placed the dolphin among the constellations, along with the lyre of Arion which is represented by the constellation Lyra. The third account is that the Dolphin is one of the pirates who were changed into a dolphin by Bacchus on his voyage to Ariadne. According to Ptolemy, the bright stars are similar in characteristics with Saturn and Mars. Delphinus was said to indicate a simple appearance, cheerfulness, a need to interact, love of hunting and sport in general, yet little happiness.

This constellation confers fondness for pleasure, spiritual matters, and travel; however there is potential for suffering due to ingratitude. Two stars in Delphinus bear the peculiar names of Sualocin and Rotanev, so called by Italian astronomer Niccolo Cacciatore. Read backwards, the names spell out Nicolaus Venator, the Latin form of his name. He is the only person to have named a star after himself and gotten away with it. May the blessing of the Dolphins bright heavenly light guide the endeavors of your life!
THE DELPHIC ORACLE AND THE CONSTELLATION DELPHINUS
According to the earliest legends, Delphi was originally a sacred place of the earth goddess Gaia, also called Gea, and was guarded by her daughter, the serpent Python. Later legends state that the site was the center of the world as determined by the god Zeus. Two eagles, or ravens, had been released by Zeus from opposite ends of the earth and following great flights across the skies they finally met at Delphi. A still later legend relates that Apollo, the son of Zeus, came from his home atop Mount Olympus 3|Page

to Mount Parnassus to slay the great serpent Python. Fleeing from the peak, Python sought safety in the sanctuary of the Earth Mother at Delphi. Apollo relentlessly pursued Python, however, and claimed the site. Later repenting of his crime, Apollo purified himself on the island of Crete and, returning to Delphi, persuaded Pan, the goat-god of wild places and evocative music, to reveal to him the art of prophecy. Upon the site of his battle, Apollo erected his own oracular temple, orienting its axis to align with midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset, and, at the exact place where he had speared the serpent, an omphalos stone4 was set in the ground. This omphalos stone later became the center of the inner sanctum of the shrine of the Delphic oracle. The site was originally called Pytho, after the guardian serpent. It was renamed Delphi after the dolphin, delphis in Greek, whose form Apollo took in order to bring Cretan sailors to Delphi so that they might become priests in his new temple. Regarding the omphalos, one legend tells that the original stone, now lost, was a large meteorite fallen from the sky in deepest antiquity, while another legend says it was the first physical object to emerge on dry land after the waters of the Deluge had settled. The omphalos stone currently on display in the Delphi museum while very old and indeed from Delphi, is thus not the original sacred stone. It is interesting to inspect this exhibited stone, however, for its conical form and sculptural designs derive from the old pillar and tree worship of the prehistoric goddess cults. Archaeologically, we know little about the early beginnings of Delphi. It was the site of a Mycenean village from 1500 to 1100 BC, during which time the primary religious

emphasis was on an oracular cult of the Earth Goddess. Around 1000 BC the worship of Apollo became dominant when this new god was introduced by either the Dorians or other people from the northern region of Greece. The oracular use of the site continued during Apollo's occupation and, through the endeavors of politically astute priests, Delphi achieved Panhellenic fame as a major oracle shrine by the 7th century BCE. Women, who were considered more sensitive than men to the oracular powers of the site, would first bathe in the waters of the nearby sacred Castalian spring which was said to have been created when the winged-horse Pegasus struck the ground with his hoof and to be favored by the Muses. Next they would drink from the sacred Kassotis spring, inhale the fumes of burning laurel leaves and finally, sitting in meditation near the omphalos stone, would enter into a visionary trance state. Many archaic accounts of Delphi relate that the oracular priestesses, known as Pythia, sat upon a tripod-legged chair situated over a fissure in the earth from which emanated tranceinducing vapors. Plutarch5, a Greek philosopher who served as a priest at Delphi, and Strabo6, an ancient geographer, each told of geologic fumes, known as pneuma, which caused the visionary trance states. Plutarch also commented that the gases had a sweet smell and that the oracular priestesses, after

inhaling the gases, often behaved like runners after a race or dancers after ecstatic dancing.
The dolphins ask you to hold out your hands, in it they place "the Earth." It is not heavy, but light and buoyant like a beach ball. You cradle it with your loving arms, like a newborn child. They with you begin to chant the words, "Heal Mother Earth" "So it is; so it shall be" "Heal Mother Earth" "So it is; so it shall be" "Heal Mother Earth" "So it is; so it shall be" White and purple light illuminate the Earth; you feel the healing instantly. Staying with this for a few minutes, you then return the Earth to the Dolphins; they gently place the Earth on the amethyst crystals, where it will embrace the light and love in which you nurtured and nourished it with. The dolphins take you back to the sandy shores where you feel refreshed, reenergized and your hands illuminate rainbow light from them, they ask you to carry this light to all you encounter with the message... "We are One" "We are One" "We are One" You thank the dolphins, and they thank you for your healing energy, YOU are a Master healer and Creator is your source. You begin walking back up the stairway with a calmness and peace knowing that Mother Earth is happy, healthy, healed and full of radiant light, love and joyful abundance, resonating "Peace on Earth" "Peace on Earth" "Peace on Earth" And may peace be with you.
MEDITATION: CALL OF THE DOLPHINS FOR PEACE ON EARTH 7
Begin by taking three breaths, breathing in through your nose and exhaling through the mouth (like dolphins do through their blowholes), with each breath you see yourself bathed with rainbow light. Now imagine a stairway in which you wind down, you very gently step down each step one by one and with each step you feel a warm, fresh ocean breeze. The staircase leads you to the oceans sand; when you step onto the sand, it feels warm, soft and clean. You look out into the distance where you see bright purple amethyst crystals coming up out of the water and dolphins swimming around them. The dolphins begin swimming in closer to you; they invite you to come out into the ocean with them. You gently put your feet into the water, you are not afraid, as the dolphins carry you to the shallow waters to where the amethyst crystals are. They set you on one of the crystals and beautiful purple light showers you, healing any fears, stress or worries you have, again you feel safe knowing the dolphins are Master healers and will always take care of you.

THE SELF-ATTUNEMENT OR INTUNEMENT
The Throat Chakra is located in the front and back of the throat. Sometimes called the Fifth Chakra, it brings energy to the thyroid, bronchi, lungs and alimentary canal. It is the centre of expression, articulation and communication. This chakra provides a life force energy which can manifest in the form of our creativity and self-expression. This chakra gives unification and balance in our lives. The Vishuddha Chakra provides us an inspired communication when it is functioning healthily. When one surrenders the self before the will of heaven and it unlocks the passage of Vishuddha chakra and miraculous happenings and unexplainable coincidences will begin to occur.
