Leo Solar Festival Full Moon
We continue in Leo, the sign where humanity begins to recognize itself through creativity and love. Leo flows through the sun, absorbs the heart of the sun and streams into earth and her kingdoms. Love comes directly from Sirius to the heart of the sun into our hearts and minds. Combining the inner esoteric influences of Leo this month, we see great amounts of love and wisdom attempting to penetrate into the earth, providing us with a great opportunity to radiate goodwill, the primary component needed for peace on earth. Sunday is the Leo solar festival at the time of the full moon. The New Group of World Servers will be calling to recognize their gifts so they can turn to the world and offer their gifts. This assists in restoring the mysteries on earth and helps to “seal the door where evil dwells.”

For his 3,000th show, local promoter Michael Horne debuts the two-day Santa Cruz Mountain Sol Festival When Michael Horne first got into music promotion in the 1980s, there was a saying in the business about what to expect any time you introduced a new act or event: the first time, you lose money.
