The celestial smile and the Golden Age

I had lunch in a cafe today, and one of the songs that played in the background was "The Moon Is Made of Gold" by Rickie Lee Jones:

I noticed the song and looked it up because of the unusualness of the metaphor. Normally, the Sun is associated with gold, and the Moon with silver. Then I remembered that the same imagery is used in the Frank Sinatra song "Blue Moon," in which the blue Moon of the title is "turned to gold."

On Oswald Wirth's Tarot card, the Emperor's breastplate has the Sun on the right breast and a Moon on the left. In "The Emperor's Urim and Thummim," I identified these with the Urim and Thummim in Aaron's "breastplate of judgment" and with the square and compass on the breasts of the Garment of the Holy Priesthood.

More recent syncs (see for example "More Urim and Thummim syncs") have added more symbols to this schema. The summarize the ones relevant to this post:

• Urim = Sun = gold = red lens for the right eye = square on the right breast of the Garment
• Thummim = Moon = silver = blue lens for the left eye = compass on the left breast of the Garment

[Note added: After publishing this, I noticed I had accidentally written "gold lens for the left eye" -- the blue Moon turning to gold again! I've corrected it.]

In a recent comment on "Taking both pills," WanderingGondola provides two links. The first is this image:

As WG notes, the colors are backwards. Saturn, the golden planet, is shown as blue, while Neptune, the blue planet, is shown as gold. If the planets were shown in the correct colors, it would match our schema, with red/gold for the right eye and blue/silver for the left. The inversion syncs with the blue Moon turning to gold. A golden Neptune also syncs with my poem "The Golden Age," which reimagines blue-haired Poseidon (Neptune) as a blond. That poem also features a blue Sun, again paralleling the blue Moon turning gold.

What really got my attention, though, was the name given to this triple conjunction: Celestial Smiley Face. Having no Mormon background, WG was almost certainly unaware that "celestial smile" is Mormon slang for the neckline of the Garment when visible through one's outer clothing. Here, for example, is Killers frontman Brandon Flowers, a Mormon, displaying a "celestial smile":

Here is the second thing WG linked:

Again we have an inversion of the expected colors, this time including a blue Sun, for an even more direct link to "The Golden Age."
