July 2025 to June 2028
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto -The Magic Triangle   
Picture
The Minor Grand Trine between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto will last from July 2025 to June 2028. This extremely rare and very powerful configuration is the most significant and consequential planetary alignment in our lifetimes and this century.  It is also powerful for a long time, within a two-degree orb for over 45 weeks.
The beginning of this decade has been a struggle for most of us, marked by the pandemic, inflation, war, and natural disasters. Saturn conjunct Pluto in 2020 and Saturn square Uranus in 2021 have left people feeling scared, worn out and worried about the future. Since then, the relentless crises in Ukraine and Palestine has left many believing there is no hope left for humanity.
However, from July 2025 to June 2028, the Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto Minor Grand Trine gives us reason to be optimistic and hopeful about the future. The Magic Triangle should make us more open-minded, progressive, receptive to change, and accepting of others. It will bring about amazing discoveries, inventions, and breakthroughs in science, technology, travel, communication, and medicine.
A Bright Future
Uranus trine Pluto is the primary aspect and forms the triangle’s base. It is expressed and manifested through Neptune, the apex planet. Uranus trine Pluto opportunities are developed and implemented harmoniously through the sextiles and expressed through Neptune without stress and conflict.
Neptune is where goals are achieved and abilities are optimally used, often for the benefit of others. The technological advancements and social, economic, and political changes associated with Uranus trine Pluto will incorporate the spiritual, idealistic, enlightened qualities of Neptune.

The first decan of Aries, Gemini and Aquarius are most affected, however, this amazing period of discovery and revelation can benefit everyone. 
Uranus – 2° to 8° Gemini. Neptune – 2° to 8° Aries. Pluto – 2° to 8° Aquarius.

People of all faiths and philosophies are welcome.  The cost is $10 per person.  See poster here: www.summerlandchurchoflight.org/our-church-services.html#SummerlandEvents
-------------------------------------
Hybrid SCOL SERVICES: Our church is having two hybrid services a month now (services that are in-person at UUFSB and also live-streamed on Zoom) . They are usually on the first and third Saturdays of the month, but this may not always be the case.  If anything changes concerning our in-person services, we will let you know.
We are looking for more people to serve at our hybrid services.  If you have an interest in offering a Spiritual Address, offering a guided meditation, or being a greeter, please let us know in an email. Please email our church with your reply or for any questions you may have:  [email protected]

Spiritual Healing Requests

​-------------------------------------
Spirit healings result from law-governed forces being put into operation following the sending forth of a thought directive (prayer). Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms.
Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs.  Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know.
