The Essential Component of Ester

Essential oils are made up of different chemical compositions.

This brief article will touch on one of them~ Esters.

Essential oils such as Lavender, Geranium, Bergamot, Clary Sage and Petitgrain have higher ester contents in their chemical composition.

 In chemistry, an ester is a chemical compound derived from an acid in which at least one –OH group is replaced by an –O–alkyl group. Usually, esters are derived from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.

The German chemist Leopold Gmelin was the first to give the name Ester to molecules with the –COO functional group.

Glycerides, which are fatty acid esters of glycerol, are important esters in biology, being one of the main classes of lipids, and making up the bulk of animal fats and vegetable oils. Esters with low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and found in essential oils and pheromones. Phosphoesters form the backbone of DNA molecules. Nitrate esters, such as nitroglycerin, are known for their explosive properties, while polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties.

Esters are formed from alcohols and acids, and are named after both their original molecules with the alcohols dropping the "ol" and gaining an "yl" and the acids dropping the "ic" and gaining an "ate".

The esters found in essential oils are normally very fragrant and tend to be fruity and their therapeutic effects include being sedative and antispasmodic. Some esters also have anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties - like the anti-fungal properties in geranium oil.

The most well-known ester must be linalyl acetate, which is found in lavender and clary sage.

Even though, a chemist may identify (most) of the chemical components that nature combines to make up the oils, using gas chromatography for instance, the best chemist CANNOT reproduce an identical oil, using the exact same chemical proportions. This replicated oil will not have the same therapeutic effect as the natural and pure essential oil. Science cannot replicate the brilliant mystery of Mother Nature, using the best minds and advanced technology available.

Lavender essential oil, for instance, can be used to successfully treat burns, as was first re-discovered by René-Maurice Gattefossé, a French chemist who used lavender essential oil when he suffered severe burns in his lab in 1910.

Of this he wrote, “In my personal experience, after a laboratory explosion covered me with burning substances which I extinguished by rolling on a grassy lawn, both my hands were covered with a rapidly developing gas gangrene. Just one rinse with lavender essence stopped the ‘gasification of the tissue’. This treatment was followed by profuse sweating and healing began the next day.” Gattefossé’s Aromatherapy, 1937.

But even if the best chemist using all the correct chemical components, such as borneol, terpineol, lavandulol geraniol and linolol, they would NOT have the secret formula that could successfully treat burns.

In fact, you cannot make up lavender essential oil in a laboratory, you will not have an oil that can successfully treat burns, reduce inflammation or calm you down, the way that true lavender oil can. You could even cause harm.

According to Jeannie Rose, it is the Lavendula Angustifolia that is grown in higher altitudes that has the best medicine that is distilled into the lovely and fragrant essential oil that most Aromatherapist suggest for use.

Essential oils are Organic compounds and are all hydrocarbon molecules.

These are further classified as terpenes, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones and phenols, oxides, etc.

Here we can take a closer look at esters, for instance:

The Hermitage Full Moon and the Big Bang Theory

Lady Luna is nearing her fullness now, fresh from the new moon eclipse doorway on February 15^th…she will wax into her full glowing, reflective self on March 1^st. at 7:51 EST at 11* of Virgo the Virgin.

Here we go with the ‘11’ theme again.  EL-EVEN. Since I have gone over who ‘EL’ is…so many times now…we know that EL, is Gd of the Old Testament out of Egyptian Gd’s.  Thus, EL…ement…is Gd Mind…and it is also the four directions and ELements…why?  Because EL, is an L…a 90* angle or Ang EL.
Okay, so if the 11, is an EVEN Gd…beginning with One’s…double one’s…then we know it is a gateway.  For what?  That depends on soooo many things. 

Here we have the gateway in Virgo…and Virgo is a perfectionist.

He wants all the T’s crossed and the I’s dotted.

He also is someone who has a lantern in the dark, from finding the light in the dark himself, the candle in the rain.
Just look at him, holding that lantern…he shines it in the dark and he is a hermit.  A hermit has learned to find the light in the dark, by spending time in the dark.  You can’t brush through the dark night of the soul, you have to learn to find your light there, and then navigate the dark labyrinth. Once you return, you can shine that lantern/light into the darkness for others.  Also, notice what the light is?  It is a 6 pointed star, the Seal of Solomon.  It is no ordinary light.

Okay, so the moon being at 11* of Virgo, puts the sun at 11* of PIsces.  Swimming with the fish and he is straddling Neptune who is the lord of PIsces at 13*.  A bit of a soupy mix there.

Though it is a slightly wide orb, being that it is the moon we are talking about and she is a quick moving planet, she is being trined (supported by Saturn at 7* of Capricorn, to give us a nice ground floor to build upon.
With Mercury and Venus at 22* and 23* respectively of PIsces, they are also forming a lovely trine to Jupiter/Zeus who is at 23* Scorpio right now.

This gives a nice amount of good fortune to communication, love, commerce and traveling, specifically by boat if one has the opportunity or to make plans to take a cruise.  It is also another ‘gateway/11’ to more information coming out, perhaps a bit nicer sounding, but nevertheless, Jupiter expands what it touches and in Scorpio, that is still deep, dark, secrets, almost finding a highway into our news.
Chiron, literally the ‘key’ to the whole chart, as I have been teaching and sharing for many years now, is leading the PIsces line-up at 27*.  Old wounds bubbling up to the surface, especially those that you may have thought were long since buried.  Also, this will assist the information highway, as people divulge ‘their wounds’ and who and what happened.  This can also very well be, sacred truths being poured out onto the planet at this time, perhaps those in my own book, which is coming into completion after over a decade.

Mars is on fire at 20* Sagittarius and conjunct Vesta who is kissing him at 19* Sag, and they are both forming a square to Mercury/Hermes and Venus/Aphrodite up in Pisces, so words can definitely come out and inflict a lot of damage right now.  I remind myself to try and watch what I say too, since no one wants to hurt anyone.
Words of WAR will be on the horizon….prayers will be most necessary.

War on the home front, in our own homes and on the world stage, will all come up like a bubbling crude, again, prayers and meditation, calling all angels.

Mars/Ares is pushing into a trine to Uranus who is still in Aries the Ram at 25*, expect things to come ‘out of the blue’…

So, all in all, this one again is a doozy.  Hang in there and take the good with the bad.

Aphrodite Kissing Deep Wounds as the Pink Moon Reflects

Full Moon April 11, 2017 2:08AM EDT 21* Libra

Venus and Chiron (the wounded healer) are playing kiss and tell as they occult one another, both squaring Saturn in Sagittarius.

This will bring up the past (Venus RX) as well as old wounds but also GIFTS.

As you review what you love, who you love, how you love and your connection to the Divine, flashes of insight will gain more and more traction as time (Saturn) is also retrograde until August 24^th. When he will station direct at 21* Sagittarius.  Venus/Aphrodite and all that we love, floating backwards in space (perception) is also pushing the square and asks us what we want to, or have built our life upon is at 27* PIsces (who is very dreamy, ruled by Neptune) will station direct on April 15^th. At 26* PIsces.  Aphrodite is kissing Chiron the wounded healer and this can and will bring up old wounds, our weaknesses and how people treat us or LOVE us or just plain VALUE us.

As Venus goes direct again she will soon catch up to a lovely sextile to her favorite, Mars on April 18^th, which will be a powerful day when they dance together at 27* PIsces and Taurus, respectively.

This will be especially powerful, since Venus rules Taurus (I have, possessions, daily work routine) and the universe will once again feel more like she is supporting us. 

Yes, we are in major square situations, but we also have a big ole’ grand trine going on with this full PINK moon, with Saturn at 27* Sagittarius, to the head of the dragon at 00* Virgo (new beginnings for the soul’s purpose, managing the details and putting things in order, health, service) down to our little trio starting with Mercury/Hermes, also retrograde at 4* Taurus (see that 2^nd house possessions theme cropping up again?) and also all the retrograde planets bringing back issues, opportunities and opening the door to communications, but watch those words, you CAN’T TAKE THEM BACK.

Now, it is wide but with Mercury retrograde he is bumping into the energy first of Uranus at 24* Aries (unexpected, brilliance, higher octave of Mercury/communication and thus, computers and new technology) who was just occulted by the sun, giving him a warm hug a few days ago and supercharged that desire for change and is now at 21* Aries the Ram.  The sun is identity, the ‘I AM’ but mostly "I Rule" as ruler of Leo the LION…

That is juxtaposed to the infernal T-square,) which we shall finally see separating this year (not soon enough for many) formed right now, by the sun at 21*, Uranus at 24* Aries, opposing the moon (and thus her fullness brings up all those emotions into full view) at 21* Libra, conjunct Jupiter/Zeus (the beneficent, expander and ruler of foreigners) at 17* Libra and also retrograde at 17* Libra (Jupiter will station direct on June 8^th at 13* Libra) and they are all squaring Pluto/Hades now at 19* Capricorn. 

This can be very trying to say the least, but as stated so many times now, it is also the death and destruction that clears the field to rebuild.

While the universe parts her skirt and lifts the veil disclosing far more than is comfortable for most.  The pressure of this T square (CROSS BEING ACTIVATED OVER AND OVER) can make people want to cut and run (Jupiter and Uranus) as if they can just run away from life, from the past and just take almost any option to stop that pain.  When this separates, there might be a lot of regrets from choices made to try to ‘cut out and leave the past behind’ when it is really just another terrible choice to try and stop the pain.  It also might be the RIGHT CHOICE.  That won’t really be clear until the dust settles.

By then, it might be too late.

So very many people are suffering, hurting in this life, which has turned a different direction and is running like a freight train out of control, as is the perception of many.

The reality is that just so much was swept under the rug and into our subconscious, without truly grasping the much deeper (Plutonian underworld) driving force and motivations that were not apparent, are coming to the surface as Pluto grinds away in our temp-EL’s.

We will feel ‘like we internally cleaned out our basements, attics, etc.’ through all of this.  We also can see and experience moments, longer or so quick (Uranus) that show us WHO WE REALLY ARE

AND THE LIGHT OF OUR SOUL THAT WE CAME HERE TO SHARE.

Once that cleansing is over, it will be like cleaning the lens or suddenly wearing glasses and realizing how much we missed when we thought we saw before.

Everything is IN GOD’S HANDS, as best as we can, try to remind yourselves that God loves you and is bringing us all to a better place that our souls have called into this world.

Cleansing, both mind and body, can help.  Drink plenty of water and take as many showers as possible.  Meditate and pray with newfound intention and focus and ‘dive into yourself’ and bring back those pearls of wisdom.

The earth is greening in the northern hemisphere, flowers are popping up and blooming a fragrant mind.  Take a walk in the park and bathe in the respite of nature’s caress.

You will find that the process was worth it.

Tomorrow is another day.  Christmas is coming and there will be presents under the tree...gather round the HEART-H.  

Ramming Up For Spring in the Aries New Moon

New moon, March 27, 2017 10:57 PM EDT

As our golden orb heralds the dawn rising earlier in the northern hemisphere now, we leave behind the dark vestiges of a deep and troubling winter for many.  The world stage seems far from peaceful and as rancorous as I can recall in my adult life.

The sun and moon, will ‘occult’ one another for their monthly conjunctivo at 7* of Aries the Ram.

Here in the first decanate of Aries they ram up to move spring forward in the wearing of the green.

Venus/Aphrodite has just flown by as she is Retrograde at 3* Aries and is pushing back into a square with Saturn/EL now at 27* Sagittarius, which is bang on the Galactic Center, opening the vault of the heavens, infusing our world with a potency that sizzles and crackles in the ethers, waiting to be harnessed or annihilate the unwitting whose path this live wire happens upon.  (In this case, it is in your own personal chart and on the world stage, as we see the powerful games being lobbed back and forth.)

With Venus Retrograde, she can either bring back what was meant to be yours, or move the carrot just

out of reach, depending on your circumstances.  Venus rules what we have, possessions and what we value.  In Aries, she is randy and can be reckless, but retrograde can reign in your resources, or may bring investment opportunities that have come along before.  Either way, you may find yourself questioning who you love and why, what you value or how you invest.

I would like to tell you that our markets and economy should move along swimmingly, and HOPEFULLY they will, after all, who wants a crashing stock market? 

Now, she asks us if we have invested in what we love or to put that another way, do we love our investments?

I liken the stock market to gambling in Vegas, because you have no control over what is being done with your investment, or the outcome, unless you are a major shareholder and have some small say at a stock meeting.

Mercury will Station Retrograde at 4* of Taurus on April 9^th. And almost a week later on April 15^th, Venus will station direct at 26* of PIsces, which she will enter on April 4^th.  So, adding this into the equation, we must consider that Taurus is ruled by Venus and we are right back into the 2^nd house of VALUES, EARNING A BASIC LIVING/WORK AND POSSESSIONS.

For some reason, the universe just didn’t think we would be moving in the right direction and set our astrological clock to remind us who we are.

In this sense, it is as though we are being continuously made to repeat a grade, until we are actually ready to graduate.  This can create a volatile stock market or planet volatility, as the planets pull and push one another and activate these world squares.  Every time LaLuna hits one of these Cardinal Cross points, she is triggering the stress, and in particular, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 3/22 and 3/23 when she meets up with Pluto in Capricorn immediately after hanging out with old EL hanging on the Galactic Center, she is gathering stress, as she moves over these points, some of that stress may be released.
Adding to the volatility of our markets, etc.
We have Jupiter still retrograde at 19* Libra, he is the planet of optimism, good fortune, expansion and joy.  He too, is pulled back on his energy until June 8^th when he will finally Station Direct at 13* Libra.  Expect the gusher to start moving quickly when he moves forward…

Make sure you are taking the steps you can, to ground and center.  Do NOT let anxiousness keep you from getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep during this most challenging time for many on the planet.

Pluto is still the handle at 19* Capricorn, on the T-square to Uranus at 23* Aries conjunct Mercury/Hermes at 25* Aries, in opposition to Jupiter Rx at 19* Libra. 

We have a whole herd of stallions all reigned in, waiting for us to allow them to gallop down the track, but the gate seems to keep shutting!

Oh, are they getting restless!

I hope to get a video together to better explain just what these ‘SQUARES’ SYMBOLISE.

We can see that not only do we need the SQUARE to build, it forms a ‘CROSS’, (See our recent article on “The Stations of the Cross” and check which house is being ‘pressured’ in your own personal chart.) which as we have shared many times now, also represents the EL-ements; earth, air, fire and water, the building blocks of life.  Which El-ement might be out of balance in your own life?

They can ‘block you in, or make you feel, boxed in’ depending again on your own situations and your personal chart.

Mars at 12* Taurus (emphasizing that second house of possessions again) sextile Neptune will try to energize the moral high ground but Neptune, so large and in charge in PIsces at 12* has all those ‘hooks’, but it is also the Fisher King who holds the grail, and what do we really ever have, without first the wounding?  This is how you see the face of Gd.  The universe submerges us and until we learn to breathe underwater, to realize what is ‘the illusion’…as Jesus walked ON THE WATER, SHOWING US HE WAS ABOVE THE ILLUSION, not getting ‘hooked into the material world’ that tempts us and turns to dust.

How much moral high ground becomes proselytizing without the path behind the talk as proof?  How can you show the way, without finding your own way out of the labyrinth?  If you are always skipping along the top of the water, and have not been fully ‘submerged’, then you are only capable of superficial understanding, and have not truly found your own light, that casts the shadows on the walls of Plato’s Cave.

So much will continue to be revealed on the world stage, buckle up…we wanted ‘EN-Light-en-MENT’….which turns on the light to see what we could not see before.  All sages get involved at some level politically, they spoke out, they took action because they finally ‘see what is happening’.

Some of the new age teaching is the complete opposite of ‘seeing’ and teaches ignorance, or ‘to pretend you don’t see’…I have even heard people say, ‘well what can I do anyway?’…well that is not empowerment, but disempowerment.  That is the opposite of enlightenment. 

If you hurt, cry out…cry out for help.  A well-meaning friend, thought that would ‘magnify the hurt’ by telling the universe when we hurt.  What?

All sages tell us to put our beliefs to the test.  Test it against logic…if you were in the woods, and fell, would you not cry out?  Of course you would, or no one would come to your rescue!

I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN BELLY DOWN AND CRIED OUT, and THAT IS EXACTLY WHEN HELP CAME, WHEN ANGELS SHOWED UP IN MY LIFE.

I have learned that the universe knows our voice/ our vibration and crying out is a clarion call into the universe that is BRILLIANT AND INTELLIGENT, and you cannot trick the universe by pretending.  If you don’t cry out, that means you don’t have faith in a loving, brilliant universe.  Don’t try to trick the universe.

Be REAL.  These times can be challenging to say the least, but at least we are almost through these world squares.  Get a buddy to keep each other comforted.  Hopefully one that loves you enough to let you ‘be where you are’ and if you are in pain, tell the person.  You don’t always have to learn, if you are in great pain, sometimes all we can do is be present and love someone, let them cry out, let them scream out.  WITNESS THEM.
It is sometimes, very inappropriate to try to teach someone a lesson, while they are in pain, because all they can do, is ‘get through that pain’.  It can even be cruel, please try and keep this in mind, as we move through this time.

If you are in that kind of pain, tell the person, you only want a soft place to land, and you don’t have it in you, to learn a lesson in that great pain.  It is called ‘compassion’.

Hang on, we are bubbling along the stream and sometimes those bubbles go underwater, but you will ‘emerge’ new and with a new perspective and level of kindness, you may have to learn the hard way.

We are all in this together….

Holding The Hot and Leaden handles of Hades and EL

Spring is upon us, we will meet the spring equinox on March 20, 2016 6:29 AM EDT when the moon is at 27* of Sagittarius and the sun is ingressing into Aries at 0*.
First, we settle into the full moon at 22* of Virgo at 10:53 am on March 12th.   Do you see the lovely T-square with Saturn/EL hovering at 27* Sagittarius (the Galactic Center) forming the handle to the sun at 22* PIsces swimming alongside (In occultation with) Chiron the wounded healer at 24* PIsces which drags Mercury/Hermes into the net  at 28* PIsces. We see this is a very dreamy force in opposition to LaLuna at 22* of Virgo the Virgin.  Look at it this way, you will finally feel like you are getting little bit of a ‘handle on the situation’, as you hold the opposite energies and the Lord of the Rings opens the fault line of the Galactic Center infusing a sterling centaur up from the depths of your soul.
But not so fast, just when you think you have a firm grip on our changing world, we see that Pluto/Hades still has a death grip at 19 Capricorn on the handle of the T square formed by squaring Uranus at 22* of Aries the Ram in opposition to Jupiter/Zeus at 21* Libra the scales of justice.  All of this, while Venus/Aphrodite stationed Retrograde on March 4th. At 13* Aries.
Venus you see, rules your resources and basic income/wealth.  Retrograde, she might pull back something you’ve earned and didn’t receive or she could move the carrot a little further down the road, depending on your personal horoscope and choices.  She will ram down the road and jump into the deep waters of Pisces on April 2nd at 8:29AM.  We can hear the steam as it burns off the heat of Aries and submerges into the watery depths until we remember we can breathe under water and ‘release ourselves’ at 26*PIsces when she finally stations direct on April 15th.   Here is the kicker, at 26* PIsces Venus will be meeting up with Chiron who has galloped through the sea now at 26* Pisces too and together they are not only

squaring Saturn/EL at 27* of Sagittarius, riding the Galactic Center don’t forget, but tapping into the light of the sun in the light of the full moon. Chiron being a centaur, swimming with Venus/Aphrodite we are reminded that the hippocampus is literally a ‘sea horse’.  This as you will recall is also the ‘Chariot’ card number 07.  See how the hippocampus is literally a sea horse, swimming in the Neptunian waters of your mind?  Now, as the sun has left his glow you can see your star light, your ‘essence’ rising with Venus/Aphrodite you will give birth once she reaches the shores of Aries again, dries off her drenched heart and leaves the discomfort of old EL’s cold, leaden, reality.  On April 28th, Venus will find her way back to the hot, scorched earth of Aries.  Along the way, she will also meet up with Hermes/Mercury on March 18th at 9* of Aries.  Ever see a depth charger go off deep in the sea?  Well, picture that and you will get an idea of the energy being ‘discharged’.

 Mercury rules communication and merchants too, so we will probably see a long list of ‘big box’ stores closing.  Mercury/Hermes will station RX on April 9th at 4* of Taurus the bull and Venus/Aphrodite at 27* PIsces will oppose Lady Luna who will be at 27* of sensual Virgo the Virgin. This whole period we will be seeing signs of troubled waters on the world stage financially, that will bring a very revealing ‘May Day’.
Many of us are still just learning to hold the reigns of our own chariots, and these two handles, Saturn/EL and Pluto/Hades are neither are comfortable or easy as the two levers by which we can chart our course.  Saturn in Sagittarius you can hear the horse restless in the gate, he wants to run free and yet he is harnessed.  This brings up all the issues of ‘the other’ and this time has people weaving together their spiritual beliefs with the mundane world.  Who is a foreigner?  We see the confluence of indigenous cultures with descendants of immigrants and the question of where the flow of refugees, streaming out of the Middle East and up into Europe and out into the seas like branches on a huge tree.   Pluto/Hades in Capricorn is like grabbing a hot coal and slowly over time, becoming comfortable out of necessity after the blisters subside.  He is burning down the golden pyramid from the inside.  We see the last vestiges of our government as we enter into the end of an age, when first Saturn/El will conjunct/occult the natal US Pluto preparing for our Pluto return in 2020.
We will see many structures change over the coming years.
Now for the really personal, we go to the very ‘essence’ and which essential oils or blends are important right now.  Every time you use Breathing Easy © you are helping build your immune system and preparing your temple (Temp-EL) for the Holy Spirit.  Two secret ingredients being Frankincense and Myrrh, you are always anointing your temp-el.
In addition this time of the year brings up many allergies as the sun thaws out the frozen soil and so much is released into the air.  We will do our annual Breathing Easy and Sinus special because as usual, so many are still suffering those nasty colds, Bronchitis and flu that doesn’t want to leave and in some cases, seem to have set up their own personal camp.
But you have what you need with ArcAncient’s Breathing Easy © and Sinus relief © and so do your clients!
Fortunately or unfortunately as the case may be, there is a reason I know a lot about dealing with compromised lungs.  As shared with you last year at this time, but for those who weren’t with us yet and those that were, it bears repeating.
Most of you know, that when I died, laying in that hospital bed unmoving save for being moved, I
was a prime candidate for pneumonia and got a terrible case during that hospital stay.
It was God awful let me tell you, having to use the breathing apparatus, making my hurting lungs try to expand, it feels as though they are in a lead vise.
My stomach being completely cut open, seriously…open the entire length of my stomach, stem to sternum, and being forced to cough, to move that leaden blanket around my chest,
which also made my stomach heave, so I had to try to hold both at the same time without spilling my guts out…through the bandaging.
So, when I say that I know what it is like to be very sick,  perhaps you might understand a bit more, why it is that I do what I do.
Why it is important that everything is of the most exquisite ingredients (pure organic essential oils and organic golden jojoba as carrier) possible, because I use them myself and have now for over 20 years.
So have many other people, yourselves included, and can you imagine being without this crucial helper when you feel something coming on, let alone when you actually come down with something?
I cannot.  I don’t want to think what it would be like, not to be able to reach for my Breathing Easy, simply remove the cap, roll it around my throat and chest, on a tissue to continue to inhale deeply, and yes, I am many others I have learned, roll it right inside of my nose.
In fact, another true story I tell, is of a friend of mine, Linda Green’s experience, sharing a Breathing Easy with one of the Shaman’s in Machu Pichu.  She explains that he wanted to see the Breathing Easy and he shoved the whole bottle up his nose and snorted it so she said he could just ‘keep it for himself now’…lol.  ~ Yes, even a genuine shaman wanted the Breathing Easy that bad.
With over 11 different pure essential oils, this blend is a must have, and if you feel that way, share your own story, your own comfort in knowing that you have that to rely on to help you through a rough patch.
Not only will this help you through a sickness, should you come down with something, it will help boost the immune system, and rolled on the throat and chest, will help keep you from getting sick too.
Ravensara is the major component of our Breathing Easy and Sinus blends.

The leader in this blend, is of course, RAVENSARA.
I spoke with Dr. James Duke about his favorite oils and herbs to use, and he confirmed to me the importance of Ravensara.

Hades Cross Turning The Depths To Set The Soul of the World on Fire

Happy New Moon Eclipse!

Our lovers, sun and moon are busy getting busy in this eclipse, both of them swimming at 8* of PIsces.  Who else is swimming with them?  Poseidon trolling her hooks at 11* of PIsces, ruling her waters…drowning Mercury who is barely staying afloat, in detriment at 1* of PIsces.  Holy of Holies…impregnation while our lights go out.  Communication?  On the one hand, there will be soft places to land, empath’s will be overloaded but incapable of turning away those who need that soft, listening heart.  Angels abound, while also being very necessary.  The LIGHT and the DARK.

Hermes/Mercury, ruler of communication will also drown in the illusion, submerge yourself fully, don’t come bobbing back up, only to say something you might regret..

 

This T-Cross, With Jupiter now retrograde hanging in the balance of Libra at 22* (power number magnifying relationships) opposing UR-anus electrifying Mars who is also in rulership at 21* Aries, is pushing for CHANGE/REVOLUTION!

The lovely Aphrodite/Venus is also in detriment at 12* of Aries, she is in the opposing sign of one of her domains, she would rather leave it up to Mars/Ares to initiate, so is not comfortable here…AT ALL.  She is all ALL-ONE.

Who is holding the handle to this tension?  Pluto/Hades at 18* of Capricorn.  Yes, the great malefic, has his hands all over this little party.  As if this is not enough of a good time, Jupiter/Zeus is also sesquisquare our Sun, Moon, Neptune stellium… We are adding the aspect of the Square with a SemiSquare Aspect of forty five degrees. This is an uncomfortable relationship between the planets leaving the psyche in distress. These difficult aspects, are also the basis we build upon.  As stated many times before, you can ONLY BUILD WITH THE SQUARE.  So, the discomfort, is meant to be a catalyst to create something entirely new, push us past our normal boundaries and go diving deep into Poseidon’s world.  Imagine Dorothy’s house spinning in a tornado, only UNDERWATER.  Now, she looks out the window to the frightening visions, Hades conjures up her worst fears while Uranus is changing the scene so fast, she only has time to gasp.  She also will submerge so deep, she will find she can breathe underwater. 
Now, during these ‘flashes of insight’ that will flicker in the dark and deep, look there…do you see that shiny pearl there…yes…there it is.  Grab her, hold her close, you have found the light of your soul.

Shining internally from the beginning.

Remember, this whole process has been long in the making, to CREATE THIS OPPORTUNITY, to expose your light on deck.  Shine so others can see who you really are.

Faking will be exposed.  The veil thinning like Arachne’s thread unravelling the curtain.  The mystery’s revealing themselves in a race with our monsters no longer hiding either, because they cannot.  This is also why they are trying to make people fear the ‘other’…the unseen…so they can tighten control before we ‘wake up’ and see the Light of the World.

Don’t forget, we also have EL, Lord of the Rings, Saturn at 26* of Sagittarius, in a lovely wide fire trine (ACTION) to Uranus and Mars at 21* of Aries the Ram.
There won’t be any cannonballs being shot at success now, but slow and steady progress.  We will be asked to return and review this progress along the way this year.  So, the movement is tentative.  The square might make you feel, ‘boxed in’ but jumping from one thing to the other, is probably not the best thing, or expect your feet to get a little fried when they only land in another hot plate.  Remember, this is forming…not formed, save for the seed that you came here with…to plant a future that is going to become more and more exigent.

We are here to plant a new earth, to imprint as best we can, the world we wish for.  It is not the one we have, but the one that is ‘being birthed’.

Get your seeds and bulbs ready.

This is a potent formation to tap into.

Create your vision boards, fertilize and water your fertile earth.

Light your candles that cast back the dark and call in new love.

Remember, these are tender shoots…can’t give them too much exposure, until they have gained strength, don’t go putting your little babies right out there, people are frightened and HUNGRY FOR A NEW VISION, LIKELY TO STEAL OR TRAMPLE ON YOUR OWN, IF THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THEIR OWN LIGHT, they only see their shadow from the light you cast.
This is a CROSS, it is okay to fall, try not to be so hard on yourselves.  Squares are BOXES, it is normal to feel 'boxed in', you have NOT MADE A MISTAKE that you are being punished for, this is a world cross, world squares...how they affect you personally, is designed to activate YOUR GIFT, YOUR LIGHT.  

In one word, this is AN EMERGENCE.  Know that you are being 'birthed' right now.

Be safe.  Be kind.  Be true.
The way will be made clear for you.

Eclipsed Details in a Boundless World

The full Moon eclipse comes on Friday, September 15, 2016 at 3:05 PM EDT.

The sun will be at 24* Virgo in opposition to his lunar companion who will be at 24* of PIsces.

This is a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

Where the moon passes through Earth's penumbral shadow.  This will not be visible in North America, so the effects are somewhat abated, but this is also coming inside the closing square of Neptune and Saturn, which is squared by this full moon as she waxes into her fullness, so it will bring things to a head.

You may have had a bit of a sample, last week, especially as the week closed.

This is also bringing into fruition, the new moon eclipse we had on the 1^st, at 9* Virgo.  Those who will feel this the most, are Virgo/PIsces people, especially between the degrees of 7*-29*…and it will have an effect on all of us, depending on where this falls in your own chart.

The Virgo new moon, asked us to take inventory (this always happens at this time, readying for harvest) and put things into order and make your world manageable.

The more action you took to put things into order, the less ‘shocking’ this may be to you, but as this forms a T-square to Mars at 23* of Sagittarius, after he just was conjunct Saturn who sits at 10*, we can see this is also potent for Sagittarius and Gemini too.

To add to this lovely cocktail, we have Mercury Rx at 17* of Virgo also and both the sun and Mercury are in opposition to La Luna and Chiron who sits at 22* of PIsces, both drawing on the boundary-less Neptune who is in her ruler-ship of PIsces too at 10*.

As we have stated many times now, Neptune square to Saturn/EL/Lord of the Rings, who is in Sagittarius at 10*, their square will not open again, even though Neptune/Poseidon is Rx too, she cannot move fast enough to catch her square exact to Saturn again.

This is all of our false spiritual belief’s coming into the ‘structure’ and ‘reality’ of Saturn.

While Saturn is in Sag and especially with that square to Neptune, we were challenged to make our ‘rosy belief’s’ either find a way into practicality, or face the cold, leaden walls of Saturn.

Saturn in Sagittarius, also asks us how we view ‘foreigners’ and does all that lovely Neptune talk (we are all one and we are all connected) manage in the real world?  We see we have a presidential candidate who wants to build walls to keep foreigners out (yes, illegal ones) and that has brought up the debate, and made us look at how we really feel, how do we put that ‘we are all one’ into that glove compartment?  Who really is THE OTHER?

This can come close to home, as in personally, when we are asked to support (Saturn) squaring the love (Neptune is an octave above Venus/Love/Aphrodite) those we ‘LOVE’?

What does that mean?  Especially if they are dragging everyone else’s world down into the hell of Neptune’s domain, which also rules drugs (legal or otherwise), alcohol, nicotine, etc.

How do you support and love, when someone is in the grip of an addiction?

Neptune will also play you…she rules movies, music and the 12^th house which also rules Nursing Homes, and Institutions that house the infirm, elderly, and prisons.

We see Social Security up for debate again.

In the middle of all of this, Venus is at 21* Libra opposing Uranus (also Rx) at 23* of Aries, ready to make bold, brash and sudden moves, to cut away anything that holds you back from moving into the future. 

This is what we love…opposing Freedom and individuality, and Venus is in her ruler-ship in Libra.

In Libra, Venus wants us to love our partners, even though they may feel as though they are opposing

our freedom, and our ability to break away and run from it all.

Not with the anchor in Venus, you don’t.

As stated in the previous post, this eclipse cycle will end up bringing us the fruit of our actions or the consequences of the ones we don’t take care of, in the eclipses of February next year.

So, prepare, watch what you say, this is potent…for good or ill, we will reap what we sew now, both in the culmination and full moon lunar eclipse on Friday, and in February when she is all ready to give birth.

Don’t forget, we will have Uranus trine Saturn on Christmas Eve, to help us have a very merry little Christmas.

There is so much more to say about all the potency of the stars now, Mercury will station direct on the 21^st of this month and then move forward again on the 23^rd at 14* of Virgo.

Mercury Retrograde (Rx) in Virgo is always a double whammy, since he co-rules Virgo along with the earth. 

So, prepare now…and come on down on Saturday, after this explosive time culminates the day before and see us at Whiskey Island, between 2-6PM, where I will be performing with the best musicians and right on the lake, to help us have one more summer blast.

There will be all kinds of vendors and healing…

AND it all goes to help the Pet Society.

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer, it is almost over…L

Be well,

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Gloria
