Chuck’s Place: Artemis In Our Midst

Cosmic Mandala…
-Artwork © 2026 Jan Ketchel

In Greek mythology, Apollo and Artemis are fraternal twins, born to Leto and Zeus.

Apollo becomes the masculine deity identified with strength, intelligence, the sun and civilization.

Artemis becomes the feminine goddess of the moon and nature. She is the fierce huntress who protects young women, wild animals and the process of childbirth.

Together, Apollo and Artemis form a balanced wholeness of masculine and feminine energies. The actual Apollo space program was the first to land on the moon. The current Artemis program is the dominant space mission program of now, scheduled to land on the moon in 2028.

In the actuality of our time, the spaceship, Artemis II, just completed her mission to the far side of the moon, providing the greatest perspective of Earth ever witnessed by humankind.

The myths of Artemis and Apollo come to life in this time as the feminine rising, which the rising of Artemis II captures. The masculine Apollo element is represented cooperatively on board the Artemis II.

The crew aboard Artemis II was a balanced quaternity, which included a white man, a black man, a woman and an interconnected neighbor, a Canadian man. This imbalance of masculine to one feminine was compensated for by the spaceship itself, representing the womb of Artemis, that safely brought the crew to the heart of her domain, the moon.

This quaternity, circling the moon, formed a perfect circle and square, a cosmic mandala, the new wholeness we are moving toward.

The perspective from outer space reveals truths that only such a perspective can provide; that the deep subconscious truths rocking the Earth we stand upon, as well as the Wisdom to be acted upon as we make our evolutionary leap to create a new civilization, must be based upon wisdom, truth and the greater good for all.

The perspective from above reveals an unstable planet, failing, due to its materialistic errors, whose only karma can be one of self-destruction. Despite the breadth of the current breakdown upon our planet and within our society, it is merely the culmination of the need for the human race to be completely freed of ruling materialist ideas that deny humankind access to their true spiritual potential.

Artemis rising foreshadows a New Age that obliterates the obvious non-inclusion of feminine wisdom in the worldview that currently governs humankind.

Artemis, the warrior, rising, puts an end to the unchecked abuse of women and girls.

Artemis rising restores sustainability and protection to all of nature.

The quaternity in Artemis II rising shows the interconnectedness and equanimity possible, for all beings.

Fixate not on the mist of madness everywhere before us now. Be assured instead of the presence of Artemis in our midst, protecting and leading us to the greater good for all.

Focus, at the subtle level of the imagination and intent, upon positive thoughts and ideas that reach out to the subconscious mind to manifest loving dreams for the whole world. And finally, rest assured that Artemis is shepherding that birth.

From a broader view,
Chuck

Transformative times call for inner transformation as well as outer transformation. To keep up, one must change the self in some way. There must be an agreement with the transformative times, an agreement to go with the flow, especially as one sees that it’s ridiculous to resist. How far does resistance get you? Far better to make a decision that you can live with but one that you can also challenge yourself with. For transformative times are innately challenging times. When it’s obvious that it’s time to change, the best plan is to get in alignment with those changes but to also call upon your spirit helpers to guide you and keep you safe as you journey forward.

All our love,

Inventors invent, artists create, the Earth births new life, animals seek food and rest. The world continues ever-evolving, no matter what comes to disrupt. Life itself will not stop just because someone tries to do something that is not appropriate. Let life itself show you how it continually devises new creations, how it reinvents and recreates itself over and over again, how it only knows how to keep on growing, changing and transforming. You live in transformative times. How that transformation will come about is unknown, but you can be ready for it by being constantly aware that change is always on the horizon, every day.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

A day of rest has surely been earned. A day of respite from the world and its troubles is surely warranted. Take some time today to give yourself a little quiet time. Step back from the chaos and the hustle of life and just breathe for a few minutes, with kind thoughts in your mind, with love in your heart, with calmness in your body. A few moments of quiet will do you a whole world of good.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

Many people are feeling stressed out right now. There is so much going on in the world to worry about, to be anxious about and to wonder about. What will happen in the future? What will the earth be like? Will we still have fresh air and fresh water? Will we be safe? Practice your calm breathing and remind yourself to stay in the present, in this moment. Remember that the only thing that really matters is right now, this moment and this day. Find your equilibrium within your strong self, the part of you that you have been nurturing and supporting for so long now, preparing to be the best you can be. Perhaps this is the time to allow what you have kept inside you for so long to emerge now and participate more in life. Perhaps it’s time for the real you to step out into the world and take command. That person is well prepared for anything. That person is well on the way to becoming their true self, and that’s what really matters.

All our love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne
