The Sizzling Smolder of a Melting Lioness Moon

Full Moon, January 23, 2016: 8:45 PM EST
Snap, crackle, pop…this sun at 3* of Aquarius, detached and rational, surveys his lady now fully beaming his own light back to him, sizzling at 3* of Leo, she is melting under his gaze.
With her beating lioness heart weakened in Leo, she cannot help but succumb to his masterful plan as she is caught up on the Aquarian high-wires.   The Ace up her sleeve though, is her nobility is now exuding a warmth that can undo his re-solve, having just tripped the 01* Rx point, that Hermes stationed Retrograde. 
Hermes is now saddled alongside Pluto/Hades at 15* of Capricorn.  Winding up his next mega-blast of information that will come to light, exposing our sensitive spots, that thorn in the paw of the lion, which can now be removed.
Hermes/Mercury is preparing to station direct on the 25th at 14* of Capricorn, and remember that new moon back at 15* of Capricorn?  Yeah, well that is being triggered wide open, and the lioness is roaring back with all of those communication seeds we planted, and all those people that need to return with their message. 
Hermes is also in deep discussion down there with Hades who is also at 15* of Capricorn right now and he has recently brought quite an A-list of passengers over the River Styx; The B-one pulling back
his bow one more time, and sending it shooting out on the silver-screen all taut with Neptune/Poseidon at 8* of PIsces, still in her square to Saturn/EL who is refusing to budge at 13* of Sagittarius, even as she wicks back and erodes the very shores he thinks are so firm.
Oh those Neptune hooks are going to hurt as they are extracted, so remind yourselves to cleanse and drink plenty of water, as this is quite the toxic flush.
Watch for major coastal erosion as Uranus does his very best to re-wire this change at 16* of Aries the Ram, he is fully in support of EL’s RULE.
Mars/Ares at 10* of Scorpio is also forming a lovely trine to Neptune/Poseidon who at 8* of PIsces, is only a hop away from exact trine.  This makes for lots of energy to infuse into our dreams and onto the big screen, with more watery/snowy/blizzard pictures flooding the airwaves and internet, with Uranus at 16* of Aries and feeling the push from Pluto/Hades squaring him at 15* of
Capricorn in deep discussion with Hermes reviewing the whole shebang.  This is a very powerful exchange of words…and it will give power to the words we speak now too…So consider this in regard to your own self-speak, and try and lighten up, Pluto/Hades can be used to restore, and we are still in hibernating season north of the equator anyway, so no one will blame you if you pull the covers up spend some time in his darkness, it will TRANSFORM YOU, WILLINGLY OR NOT. 
That could make for some nasty revelations and at least one ‘Ivory Tower’ to come falling down, by the New Moon on February 8th, when Luna joins up with her lover again at 19* of Aquarius.  The internet will be abuzz and something will make its way to shocking transformation of residual thoughts and belief’s that never had any truth, clinging weakly now to any neuronal matrix.
Prepare for a giant slide of information, to begin its erasure from the hall of records, pushed away like the poison of Original Sin, the serpent will recoil ready to lunge at us, lest we fall back into the illusion of a quickly disappearing past.
Gone for instance, will be any trace of Bill Cosby as the years erode the glistening, smiling images of
a happy, successful black, middle class family.  No more jello, no more Fat-Albert, it will all be pulled save for the few that people manage to archive themselves.  But the media?  It will be SURE TO ERASE EVERY BIT OF THAT AS THE YEARS WIND OUT OF THESE SQUARES, SETTING THE STAGE FOR OPPOSITIONS TO COME IN THE FUTURE.
The idea of the  Tower, is something we will revisit a few times this year, Mary Magdalene, rules these years and all roads lead back to Rome, MM, AND she is the ‘Tower of the Flock’, according to Gematria.
Jimi asked us to face our Castles in the Sand…they are about to come tumbling down, and a steady stream of Gaia’s passenger’s will exit their flight.
This also makes for fertile ground to burst out a bit of your REAL truth, find that Witness self, which is AS ABOVE, and go BELOW in the mirror image of truth now staring you right in the face…we will no longer be able to dismiss the darker truth’s that we dare not even peak at before.
When you catch hold of the head of the dragon, Rx at 24* of Virgin territory, with the spotlight of Zeus magnifying the WAY and pulled back just enough to angle that light perfectly at 22*, the details are bound to be pulled out before the mind has a chance to catch up.

But this is such a time to be born, to be alive as the old and new worlds collide on a daily basis, the chasm widens in every way, and we choose which ice flow we belong on, the others drift slowly away, others rupture along with earth’s mantle pressuring the plates of both the earth and our very own skull’s too. 
Without finding the release valve, this could blow, but if you have managed to find a way to free some of the hostages of your past, you will find this time quite exhilarating, as a very new you emerges from this Chrysalis.

You might exclaim to yourself, “Are you watching me now?”  A new planet is discovered outside Hades who in the Goat’s domain is supercharged on the Cardinal Cross, just as a Dark Star enters and exits at the same time.  Get used to this revolving door.
Lazarus, will you rise again?

The Full Moon in Leo, the Lion Roars.


 Today, February 3, 2015 at 4:23PM EST, our moon which began at 00* of Aquarius, will wax into her fullness in the opposite sign of Leo at 14*.
She will illuminate the heavens, and Mercury will still be retrograde in Aquarius also, now having traveled back to 5*. This has been a potent retrograde, since Hermes the messenger rules Mercury and Uranus which is the ruler of Aquarius is considered an octave of Mercury. Did you get that?  Mercury will finally go direct on February 11th at 1* of Aquarius.
What is also salient, is that the new moon at 0*, was one in a pattern of 0* new moons we have had, since basically a countdown to zero began last year, leading to the first new moon at 0* of Scorpio on the eclipse of October 23rd. Now, new moons are ALWAYS A NEW BEGINNING, and 0 obviously is as close to a beginning you can get, so we were washing away the old, and with each layer, the one underneath is revealed to be seen, heard and witnessed…then healed and dealt with. Exposure of who we are, IS ALSO REVEALATIONS OR THE APOCALYPSE. We will also see, the magnification of who we are, as if we are under a magnifying glass, every look into a magnifying mirror? All of a sudden, little things you may have never even noticed before, come screaming into view. Of course, as I get older, I need one of these...AND without it, can go on in my own ignorance, and blissfully so.
Okay, so we start with the new beginning in this last new moon in Aquarius, and Aquarius is ruled by
Uranus which is an octave of Mercury/Hermes the communicator.

Aquarius likes to know what is new in this world, what is innovative and cutting edge. Uranus, ruler of Aquarius likes to know all the latest gadgets, indeed, he is known as the inventor, the aha, the insight that comes in the quick, and leaves even quicker. He wants to know who you are underneath all of this flesh and flash. He is the seed of your uniqueness, your difference. He is not fond of rules (being the former sky king and all) he wants to make new ones and break those too.
He rules the internet and the airwaves along with Mercury/Hermes. So, higher forms of communication come into play. He also rules community and group mind, isn't that interesting and seemingly contradictory? Well, what he wants you to bring to the group, is your individual gift. Uranus is forming the last square to Pluto/Hades ( I know, thank goodness!) which will happen on March 17th., at 15* of Aries, and Pluto/Hades will be at 15* of Capricorn. He isn't about 'sameness' but a bit more eccentric.
In this full moon, the universe wants YOU. In Leo, we have a warm moon, and an open heart. Feel the need to splurge a bit? To indulge in nice things, royalty? Or, a bit of drama? Some of you may think about a little something on the side, and I don't mean salad dressing. Be careful….Mercury in such a strong retrograde will have us lamenting the past and the people that inhabit our memory's. In fact, Mercury retrograde will bring people back to us from our past, and this one is a doozy.

We also have Neptune in PIsces at 6* being squared by Saturn in Sagittarius now at 3*, which will continue to strengthen until Saturn/EL goes retrograde on March 14th at 4* of Sag.
Are we starting to see what kind of month March might be? Neptune is home in his rulership of Pisces, and Sagittarius feels its unbounded optimistic self, harnessed and restricted by Saturn/EL, Lord of the Rings. The square can be most uncomfortable, it is not an easy dynamic between planets, but…it is what we build upon. So…what are you building with your choices and more specifically, your dreams, your art, and the movie that you are creating now (all Neptune) and with Saturn, what do you BELIEVE? What is your philosophy? How do you feel about foreigners or foreign systems? Because this square will have us all reconsidering, especially when Saturn draws back that curtain/veil when he goes retrograde, and tugs at Neptune's web. Neptune can have you in a dizzying height of fantasy, but in the square it can hit the cold, cruel world of reality and you will face limits to your freedoms and travel.
They will dance back and forth with each other, before making an exact square on November26th. With Saturn at 7* of Sagittarius and Neptune at 7* of PIsces. ]

In this time, where so many are suffering and some feel as though they are caring the burden for those around them, the pressure is building and releasing in this pattern. It can be very tempting, to just want to run into your phantasy, escape into alcohol or drugs, but there is so much caution with this square. On the other hand, if one does due diligence with Saturn, it could also be a testing ground, that will eventually lift off the ground, but it will not be easy. Those who are in relationships, try to hang in there, this could be the beginning of a new phase of your relationship. It just won't exactly happen until at least, after the first square in November 26th, 2015 at 7* of Sag and PIsces respectively, and their next square won't be until next year on June 17, 2016. So we can see this dance is going to be a long one. Saturn/EL has also been forming a square to Venus, which was exact on January 30th. With Venus at 3* of PIsces and Saturn at 3* of Sag. This also means that Venus is conjunct Neptune, so this is a lot of lovey dovey stuff, that could be fantasy land, but it could be used to really get a relationship HOT!!! Go dancing, see a movie a play, go to an aquarium or swimming somewhere together, and jump in the hot tub together. Play the songs that you listened to when you first fell in love. Go on an unplanned adventure together. Just do it!
We can expect this square from Pluto/Uranus to bring back up, the manner by which countries deal with each other, indeed, the TPP that is on fast track in congress right now, is just such a Saturn square to Neptune, while Uranus in Aries makes its last hard pass to Pluto/Hades. (Yes, this is the last EXACT Square, but they will still be squaring each other for the rest of the year, as they move forward and then retrograde.) During this dance, Uranus has been conjunct the south node (tail of the dragon) and then of course, opposing the North Node (head of the dragon), which brings up all that purpose in life stuff. Why are you here, what are you doing, what is your path? DO YOU HAVE A SPIRITUAL ROOT?
Now, let us remind ourselves what we have discussed many times about this Pluto Uranus square. Picture a big steering wheel on the earth, a ships steering wheel with the cross bars on it. Now, envision the handles coming out of the earth….because that is in essence what they are. It is a steering mechanism, but it has taken some hard turns. Pluto who is not always happy (think of the Balrog in the Hobbit series, where Gandolph exclaims; "You shall not pass!") he is fiery and he wants what he wants. (Just ask Persephone)

He is in there churning and burning as he takes down the pyramid schemes and exposes the hierarchy for what it is. Capricorns are getting a real makeover, and so are all the cardinal signs as these two titans square off, literally. So each of the squares, has been a jolt, an awakening asking us to make the changes. Uranus in Aries the warrior sign ruled by Mars, is as impatient as ever, wanting things yesterday and swinging from one extreme to the other, as he tries to pacify the need to win at all costs, with Pluto/Hades squaring off with him.
Usually, we can find grounding with Saturn/EL, but as he squares Neptune, the illusions come creeping in, if one has not found their root. This is deep soul evolution. This will be the last turn of this major aspect, so adjust your sails accordingly, keep your hands at 10 and 2 and don't text while you are driving.
The last thing I want to mention, is that Chiron, the wounded healer (and key to the chart, he is the Percival, also spelled Perceval one of King Arthur's legendary Knights of the Round Table, but look again at his name…Perceval..Per Ce Val, perceive all, or pierce the veil. He is conjunct Mars/Ares the warrior in PIsces too. So, as your wounds may come up and get ripped open, Mars can be a heavy hitter and really go after those internal age old wounds, the ones that get buried along the way, or you believe you have dealt with and healed. Mars is like a sledgehammer sometimes, and especially in this position with Chiron/Parsifal. Be gentle, gentle yourself into your own caring spirit. Ultimately all of this is setting the stage for major changes. B I G.
Sun in Aquarius, is not always what we would call, um…a big smooshy love story…Aquarius is technical, removed and as close to a computer mind as you can get. They don't always have an easy time of accessing the heart codes, because they have had lifetimes of their hearts getting in the way of logic, pure unadulterated logic.
And finally, Chinese New Year begins on Feb. 19, 2015 in the Gregorian Calendar (Chinese year 4713) and is the longest and most important celebration in the Chinese calendar. It is a Yin/wood/sheep also known as: Goat or Ram year. Sheep are pretty docile animals, unless of course you somehow manage to get them riled up. Goats on the other hand, are some of the most amazing climbers one has ever seen. We have the new moon in PIsces on the 18th in EST.
Yin is the feminine so this could bring a softer energy…and we sure can use it now!

We can see this is a very busy time, with a lot of activity and extreme ends of the spectrum all while Saturn/El and Neptune remove rational thinking and go slip sliding away.
Buckle up!
Having trouble sleeping during any of this? Make sure you have plenty of ArcAncient Sleep Roll On, and if your belly is not happy, then you need ArcAncient's, 'Happy Belly'…truly amazing and calming for the spirit, as well as the belly.
That is all for now, Drive the ship captain…and watch where you are going…we have not been there yet in many lifetimes…but onward ho.

New Moon In Aries Raising Up the Cross 2014


Spring has sprung…hasn’t it?  Here along the great lakes, Erie to be exact, apparently Persephone is still in the clutches of Hades and Demeter has not been able negotiate her daughter’s rightful release.

In Cleveland, we have been an average of 20 degrees below the ‘normal’ temperatures and we just had another bout of snow yesterday that continued on and off into the night. 

The forces for change are struggling for power and control, and not just in the weather patterns.

This Sunday the 30th at 2:46PM EDT, we will have the second new moon in March at 9* of Aries.

It will herald one of the most intense spring months we have had for many years.  Lady Luna will be courted and wed by her solar paramour and UR-Anus/change agent will be their best man.  Up on the altar of change, lighting up the sky they will co-conspire to martial our energies that have been stewing on the back burner since the last eclipse cycle began in November with the solar eclipse.

Which issues have come up for you to work through?  What changes have you made in your life?

With so many planets dancing back and forth, as I posted in the “The Light and Shadow of Energy and Time” see link here: http://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-light-and-shadow-of-energy-and-time.html we have been witnessing aspects within us that culminate and play out over the course of our lives in patterns of repetition that show themselves in the people we are drawn to and in the circumstances surrounding us.
This play of shadow and light, reveals layers of repeating themes, we emerge through the darkness and struggle forward.  Aries is ruled by Mars, and the “I AM”, so how would you follow those two words…I AM (insert belief here).  Mars rules passion and anger, it is found in the depths of your limbic system with the fight or flight response and the alertness for danger.

FEAR is co-ruled by Pluto/Hades who casts the shadowy depths of the underworld upon the minds thoughts and colours the world with the nagging suspicion that something is under the bed lying in wait for you to drop that foot down into its clutches.

Mars rules your survival along with the Solar furnace that heats up the center of our world like a yolk and the whites of our eyes a collective perspective.  Everyone has an opinion.  All eyes turn toward the sun like most of the natural world, lest they fall into the dark abyss of the nocturnal variety…and we are back into the occlusion of sanity with the simplest of odd sounds waking us from our deep slumber.
Where is Demeter when we need her to negotiate our own release?  With what measure have we surmounted our gravest fears to find that pinnacle of truth piercing the veil and pouring forth the light of redemption and safety?

Which ground do you now stand firmly upon?

These are the questions that may be rising to your consciousness, especially in the past few weeks.  During the Mars retrograde period, it is as though he is pulling back the veil to all that Mars represents; anger, aggression, passion, motivation, energy, action, etc.  I also often make the comparison to an oar being plunged into the water, and simply holding it in place; we see the water swirl backwards bringing everything in its path along for us to witness.
Mars retrograde, as readers of this blog would know, also goes through his shadow phase first and last in that retrograde, which brings up our own shadow sides.
While the moon and sun conjunct Uranus, we can expect great outbursts and temper tantrums, as the last few blogs have outlined.

I often view the world as a giant sea, all things liquid and which has happened to me several times now.  I will share three of them with you now: When I died, everything was lit up and liquid-like.  As I float-walked, everything would sort of morph even though it was solid and more vivid than anything I have ever experienced on this planet.  There were colours I have never seen.  I have written about that in more detail on my website: www.arcancient.com 
Another time it happened w
hen I was sitting in a forest after meditation and discussing everything in waves and vibrations, all of a sudden I was sitting inside a great river, the trees, leaves, plants oscillating in vibration as if I was at the bottom of the ocean. I could literally feel it rock me back and forth.  The last one I will share was deeply powerful too: I had two great angels pull me up through a water-like veil and transport me to witness something that an ex-business partner of mine was doing, that was of dubious content.  I talk more about all of these and many other experiences in detail in my upcoming book, that I am still working on.
Energy is moving in great waves and currents throughout the universe and being pulsed through life, through our very beings.  Circulating in our blood, the energy of Mars courses through our veins and is life giving.  Of course, all of this is the Grand Design of God.  I and you can merely witness this display and marvel, and we can seek to know more, as I do.

Ahh, but I regressed into the world of my 12th house Neptunian mind.  All this unfinished business for Mars/Ares to return back through, however he is showing up and transiting your own chart is where he is activating your desire and action or actions of the past and those you will take in the future.  He is not returned back far enough yet to form that square and ultimately his part of the Grand Cardinal Cross that will culminate on April 21st.  See my  blog on that here: http://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/2014/02/grand-cross-april-21-2014.html

This happens just 6 days after the first of the 4 Blood Moons, the first of which is on
April 15th (Passover).  If ever you've prayed, now would be the time, and now would be the time to consider our direction and the actions we must take to arrive at the destination we seek/desire.  Remember that changing even 1* will bring you to a very different destination point.  With that said, I want to remind all of us, that this cross is also very much like a ships steering wheel, on the handles: Jupiter at 13* of Cancer, Mars will be at 13* Libra, Pluto 13* of Capricorn and Uranus at 13* of Aries.  Those are the aspects on your chart we want to pay attention to using; for that is the energy of the stars as the Lord has created to guide over us.

“And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.”

Genesis 1:14-18

Now, on today’s new moon/luna/emotions/feelings at 9* conjunct the sun/ego/sentience AND Uranus we can expect the desire for sudden change and outbursts.  Quick decisions that may not go so well especially while Mars is retrograde.  However, Mars/Ares (22* Libra), even while he is retrograde will offer the power of martialing our energies, with the support of Venus/Aphrodite/love now at 23* Of Aquarius the water bearer in a nice trine to Mars; which was square to Mars when he went retrograde, remember?  So now, they are working things out and making up over their little spat.  If we haven’t worked out those issues of passive/aggressiveness and taken responsibility for our own choices and actions, this could be a little rougher.
We might be more forgiving at this time, water under the bridge.  Make this work for you, don't forget the lesson the problem brought.

Also, please remember that God does have an intention to insert life shifts to help us grow past what we might choose on our own.  If we won’t access our deep pearls, the universe will come along to help us.  This is just such a time.

Remember the supporting roles the planets I just mentioned will play, access those energies right now as we navigate through this major portal of time.  (Sun/Moon/Uranus in Aries and Venus in Aquarius).

Where else will we find help?

Well, we have been going deeper and deeper into the depths of Neptune/Poseidon (dreaming/art/music/utopia) in PIsces, and she is now at 6* of PIsces, making a lovely wide trine to Jupiter who is at 11* of Cancer.  (Um, that is a lot of water, btw) Since Jupiter/Zeus (benevolence/magnifier/higher knowledge/long distance travel) has just been retrograde and expands all around him, this wide trine has a far greater impact than we might usually consider.  Jupiter/Zeus who is King of kings, and overcame his father Saturn/El/Cronus in war after his mother Rhea tricked El into swallowing a stone (Philosophers Stone) thinking it was his son (Zeus).  So we always look to Jupiter/Zeus when working with a heavy Saturn/EL transit.

Our lord of the rings, El has been in mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn don’t forget, so those energies have been working together for quite some time now, and Saturn/El (structure/limitations/karma/resistance) in Scorpio which is ruled by PLUTO/Hades (death/transformation/sex) is also co-ruled by MARS/Ares, so we see how that connection comes back to this MARS retrograde like following a daisy chain?  And can we see how all of these issues, are being brought up to the surface, since Saturn/EL Is also retrograde and pulling back the curtains?  Some would say that their energy/power is lessened; I would say it has changed its layer of effect on us, drawing and excavating deeper aspects of our divinely inherited core being, which makes us move SLOWER.  
Rhea means flow, and is the goddess of female fertility and change with the seasons of time, as wife of Kronos/EL.  She is very sympathetic in the ways to deal with her partner, to manage time and help things flow a bit easier.
Think of the sextant, as we dial the horizonal aspects into our view in the cross-hairs, we focus our attributes and where we have energy (Mars) and what we desire.  This T-square that is forming into the Cardinal Grand Cross is shifting us back and forth until finally our passion has set our flaming inner heart ablaze.  There, if we have it right, is the fire of the Holy Spirit, licking away the dross and the past with the fire that does not burn.

Hades/Pluto churning in the underworld and we see he has not released Persephone yet, locked in the flames of passion and desire, he is exhuming the depths of the pyramid, the pyre a mid, is the central fire within.  He is shaking up the corporatocracy and Plutocracy’s of the world, displaying the abuse of power, he asks us to step into our own power and face our fears.  To stand up to the old guard, Saturn/EL and he is giving us the means to that communication with a trine to Mercury/Hermes the messenger who is the one God who can move freely between the worlds and accompanies souls to the underworld and Saturn/El.  Mercury (communication/travel/siblings) is also in a nice trine to Jupiter/Zeus right now, so we see the bridge to Zeus from Kronos, the Lord of the Rings has been forged for us in the starlit nights.  Take advantage of this before he steps into his role in the Grand Cardinal Cross.


Don’t mistake me for saying this is one easy walk in the park, if you have read the blog previous on the Cardinal Cross, than you are aware of the many warning signs to prepare ourselves for.  But, we can also shift this time into peace and work with the power of prayer in action to make even that one degree turn on the dial of our compass, in our compass-ION.

Use that compassion that this world has torn open, drop down that drawbridge and cover that moat, let the universe come rushing in with the keys to paradise.

Now that we have been forced to create new muscles, new lives, new belief’s and been drawn into the larger picture, are you ready to walk into the valley of the gods?

Many of my readers, students and certainly friends, know I have been opened stem to sternum which brought me over from this world into the next.  I now refer to that as my doorway between worlds. 

Well, there are glorious heavens awaiting us, but here…we live in a 3D world that Saturn/El is coconspirator of as he weaves his time matrix and our mass, speeds through light twice as fast as the light itself, we must be restrained and meet with resistance as we are tempered. 

Now, how do we sit inside of that Great Spirit, the Holy Mother inside of our heart?  Well, for me compassion has pointed my compass to its internal plumb line, it sits within the inner chamber of the heart, and if one were to overlay their being upon the astral circle, we will see that even the cross overlaid,
shows the cross hairs are in the upper chamber of the heart, the upper heart chakra, where the flaming heart is ignited.  The heart/thymus, which as I have often stated in the past is thus: heartthymus..the hearth (inner fires)...hear Thy muse.  Do you see that now?

If we look at the players forming the cross again; Jupiter at 13* of Cancer, Mars will be at 13* Libra, Pluto 13* of Capricorn and Uranus at 13* of Aries.  Then we see that we want to be in the middle of this cross.  Uranus in Aries is rash and wants change in a new direction, but he is opposed by Mars who rules Ares in Libra; so balance with our energy is necessary and we must consider the needs of others and the consequences of our actions.  This is no solo trip.  As we clear our paths, honing in we see the starlit runway and we will drop WHEELS (The greatest invention) connecting our inner light with the guidance system being forged in this Great Shift.  Pluto opposing Jupiter in Cancer is power in the corporatocracy vs the benevolent mother and our home.
Recall all the disintegration our friends PAN and HADES have caused since the first square to Uranus and actually starting with the Uranus opposition to Saturn/EL all the way back in November of 2008.  Between the uprisings all over the globe, the market crash (all laid out on this blog and the reason I closed my last store in September of 2008) are all the markers and the shakers to ignite the fire of justice, and to shift perspectives from the material world of success to the Inner Wisdom of Compassion, for therein lies the truth, the light and the way.


This also means that we have all of those T-squares, but remember, look back at the sextant, do you see the square?  We need that to build, no home or structure is built without using a square (unless it is round for those of you who came up with the 'opposition' LOL) So put your hands upon the wheel, we will turn our wheels ever so slightly and adjust with the planetary changes and global power plays, shifting into a kinder place, this is the world we can build upon.

That won’t see real fruit until after Mars goes direct May 20 and certainly not until after the final Pluto square to Uranus March of 2015.
We have the Blood Moons to go through (Major changes and births, as blood is the cup of life and also of death), many will leave us over the next month and into the end of this year, with the next Uranus square to Pluto that comes in December 14, 2014.

From the Gospel of Thomas: He said to them, "Anyone here with two ears had better listen! There is light within a person of light, and it shines on the whole world. If it does not shine, it is dark."

18 the disciples said to Jesus "Tell us, how will our end come?"

Jesus said, "Have you found the beginning, then, that you are looking for the end? You see, the end will be where the beginning is.

Congratulations to the one who stands at the beginning: that one will know the end and will not taste death."

So let’s get our ships ready to sail, shall we?

Ride the Tiger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBtIbaFAVTg

We also have to transit through 4 Blood Moons starting with Passover, April 15, 2014, October 8, 2014 (Sukkot), again on Passover April 4, 2015 and ending on September 28, 2015(Sukkot). The following are the coming Uranus to Pluto squares we have left:


April 21, 2014, December 14, 2014, March 16, 2015.

Pulling Back the Arrow and the Veil


Happy New Moon  eclipse in Sagittarius at 11* on Monday, December 2, 2013 at 8:23PM EST.

This new moon is in the 5th house, home of Leo the Lion and a Solar house.  Leo is on the cusp of the 2nd house, so we will see a lot about being creative and possessions, and consideration perhaps a generosity regarding how much work/labor must be done, in order to purchase gifts this year.

Leo is a generous sign, he likes to make sure others know he is benevolent, and is flush, so he has the means; however…the new moon is always the occultation of the sun, she stands before him in their marriage, the union of the male and the female, but SHE stands before him.

On the dark side of the moon, our shadow is being illuminated…as the archer sun comes out, he will want to shoot straight to the point.  And he knows the shadow, still he adoringly enlightens and guides.

The sun and the moon form a lovely trine to UR-ANUS (genius/computer savvy/individuality within the group) even as Uranus in Aries is still forming that square from a wider orb to Pluto in Capricorn (Hades/Death/Rebirth/Taxes) so what will be reborn from this formation? What will end?

They are locked in their own epic battle, Pluto/Hades ruling power and the treasures from the deep and OURANOS the Lord over the sky now in Aries, the martial change agent of force, who shares his ruler Mars the planet of war and action with Scorpio now ruled by Pluto.  While UR-Anus perhaps has been content to own the skies even as he was usurped by his son Saturn/EL the Lord of the Rings who locked him out of the inner sanctum, he is still exposing the energy of their opposition that started in 2008.

Change is the order of the day, and in restless Sagittarius, the two major lights are more than happy to energize the new order of things. 

What is it you want to leave behind?  We look to Black Moon Lilith at 4* of Cancer to see we have a T-square in wide formation on this Cardinal axis, and she is who helps to cut away…to leave the old paradigm behind and not play nice within the establishment.

So, even as the moon is planetary body connection to Cancer, we see that Lilith is asking us to make changes regarding the mother and home.  What can you do without?  Can you give something you have to someone who may find something you rarely use as an everyday treasure?

She is supporting Neptune/Poseidon the dissolver and dreamer, as she supports the head of the dragon (the north node) in Scorpio, shaking off the confinements of his recent encounter with Saturn/EL.

It would be good to take in the support of Saturn (Structure and the old establishment/man/father time) in Scorpio (sex/mystery) as he is now in a nice sextile to Venus/Aphrodite in Capricorn, so women you might want to tap into this generosity that can be bestowed upon you, especially if you are willing to give up some sexual magic and mystery…oh and this is also completely ripe for affairs…staying late at the office?  Hubby might just be playing daddy at work, bestowing his power and might…and uh…a few baubles to his little worker…but I am not letting women off the hook either…that little kind word and attention from ‘the other’ might become a bit more than just something that makes you feel attractive…because you just might want to FEEL ATTRACTIVE…WORLDLY…DESIRABLE…SO…what is in the stars is a power-packed love story with all the intrigue and even a little espionage on the world stage.
Prepare now, get that loving in because Venus will be preparing to go retrograde on the 21st of December (yes, just before we all want love on the Holy Days) at 28* of Capricorn...what will she be ashamed of?  Hmmmm?

Especially as Mars/Ares is pushing fast towards his turning the handle to a T-square with Uranus and Pluto (Opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto) we can count our blessings that Jupiter retrograde in Cancer won’t have travelled quite far back enough to form a grand cross for the party, but the energy is all there…Jupiter is expansive and he is opposing Venus right now in Capricorn…expect major events to erupt on the world stage as we near Christmas, the Winter Solstice as a preview of things to come in February and March of next year.  Take notes…

Pulling back the arrow at 11 degrees of Libra, Mars will square this point on New Year’s Eve and Jupiter will be in opposition the first week of February, so we see the time capsule that Neptune will  illuminate on our silver screens and with something heating up the screens as Venus almost makes her way back to the Plutonian degree to kiss and tell.

The sun will move over the Galactic Center (27/28* of Sagittarius) and then proceed to energize the party in Capricorn when he pairs up with Pluto/Hades as we enter the new year…Oh yes, a change is going to come.

For now, enjoy the holiday spirits, the magic that is being poured through the universe in glimpses and shards of truth, as the layers peel back and we get a glimmer of the only thing we need to really know…we all have a shiny bright uniqueness to turn on and light the world.
So, let’s turn that on with Light Spirits blend and mister © for a lovely special?

New Year 2013 Astrological Currents


Happy New Year of 2013!

Well, we have by most accounts crossed the great divide and we are beginning to move into the other side and into the light.  This is the perfect time to illustrate this using the analogy of the Winter Solstice, which is the Sun standing still in the heavens and then proceeding to move forward (after three days) increasing daylight in the Northern Hemisphere.  Now, even though this is true, the increase happens slowly, incrementally until the summer solstice, when this changes.  This is the beginning of the light out of darkness in the 26,000 year cycle.

So too is this crossing into the Age of Aquarius going to be an incremental and slow shift with the ‘Awakener’ Uranus’s domain and the Great Revealing.  We will follow the man with the vase into his house of Aquarius.

The planetary alignments all help to unlock this great lock, if we listen closely, we can almost hear the tumblers dropping the links as each aspect conspires to inspire us into the greater awareness of who we are in the universe individually and as a people/humankind.

As we have stated many times now, there is a powerful square from Uranus (the Awakener) in Aries to Pluto (Transformer) in Capricorn happening and which will continue until the last exact square on March 16, 2015.  We must add however, that the three degree orb between the square will be ebbing back and forth as both Pluto and Uranus retrograde and will not be free of each other because of this orb until April 20 of 2016! So transformation it is.

THE COST OF WAR
With the square, Uranus is ripping the fabric of time and being transformed in the fires of Pluto.   Pluto has been pounding in the death nail in Capricorn and demanding not only that Capricorns transform into a more evolved version of the previous manifestation, but that all those on the Cardinal cross do too. In the meantime, Uranus transiting Aries magnifies that Ram, the head of the chart and our version and concept of war and how we do battle; how we follow the words, “I AM” in our life and our personal world or sacrifice to the greater good of the group/community.  As Uranus awakens that aspect of us, we question what we are fighting for or about and think of new ways to deal with the aggressive nature of Mars the warrior.
Make not mistake, this is Pluto's year.  We might remember Orpheus and his quest to retrieve his bride.  The myth demonstrates the importance of Pluto "the Rich" as the possessor of a quest-object. Orpheus performing before Pluto and Persephone was a common subject of ancient and later Western literature and art, and one of the most significant mythological themes of the classical tradition. ~ from Wiki.

So, do you think you have something unique that you have not found and nurtured to bring into this world or have you done this already?  How have you evolved?  Have you made your quest to Pluto?  Have you rescued your sacred partner or gone in before the Gods to steal some fire?  Prometheus?

Can we have our own unique sense of self and the FREEDOM to express our individuality or must we sacrifice that freedom for some sense of security?

On the other end of that spectrum, how much freedom are we entitled to before that impinges on the rights of the community/others?

Our government is responding through the use of drones and increased spy-warfare and surveillance.  New Technology (Uranus in Mars) They want to remove more of our freedoms (Uranus) or we could even say, cause the death (Pluto) of them.


Now, this square is the first hard transit to each other since they were ‘married’ or conjunct in Virgo back in the 60’s.  In October of 1965 we had Uranus conjunct Pluto at 18* of Virgo.  Right there in the middle the two come together in the land of the Virgin, the service people of the world and those who want us to learn how to make more with less or do without.  They want organization and order to streamline efficiency. 

This conjunction happens in the middle of another Saturn to Uranus opposition when Saturn was at 18* of Pisces and Uranus was at 18* Virgo as stated previously.  Those oppositions happened between April 1, 1965 until January 1, 1967 and happened again starting on November 3, 2008 in reverse position at 18* Virgo and Pisces respectively.  (Now do you hear the tumblers?)

So the Lord of time was giving the opposing field of creation/stress to Uranus and Pluto in Virgo.  This is also important in the natal chart, to understand the path one has traveled and where the Transformer, the Awakener and the structure of hierarchy and time have meted out their energies to awaken, organize and transform us.

We must start back when they were conjunct in Virgo, who rules HEALTH & SERVICE and the Sabian symbol for 19* deg Virgo  is ‘A Swimming Race’.

This coincides with the full moon we had in March's Virgo full Moon in 2012 which occurred on March 8.  So we have been in a race all the way since then, but the tumult and true goal has always been within us, with the results in panoramic display all around us for those with eyes to see.

She asked us back then, (In the conjunction of Pluto and Uranus and the opposition of Saturn and Uranus in 1965 and again when it came up in 2008 then in the new moon in March, they are triggers) to watch what we were doing with our bodies, to the earth and our food.  She told us, that there was transformation of Health and the earth taking place and that we needed to pay attention.  There she was, even as Saturn opposed this very degree back then too, in Pisces the ‘swimmer/fish’ and so the emotional content pops us, the spiritual depths of our belief’s and psyche’s are all being challenged.

This all is based on how much we have learned to control ourselves, our drives, our emotions and how we have set our goals.  We have to step out of the race, to ask ourselves where are we going and who are we in the race with?  Remember, if you are looking at the other racers, you are losing the race and energy necessary to make it to the finish line.

No one does the sabian symbols better than Lynda Hill, so a look at what she wrote on the full moon in 2012, is a wonderful insight into what we are all dealing with now.


On the other end of this spectrum, Saturn in the opposition: Pisces 19
Sabian Symbol: The young man and old one have walked many miles but as master and pupil they neither are fatigued.

Now, how does that fit?  We simply must tap into our elder self, the one that has journeyed this path so many times and came for just this time.  I know, this could and probably has gotten old, with so many tired right now.  What sleep are you really getting?  That is one thing;we just need in gobs and gobs.  Don’t short this out, because without it, everything else becomes more challenging and daunting.

As these planets rip the fabric of our world apart, so too do we see the electromagnetic field around us being punctured with holes and new and very strange cloud formations.

Now, there are plenty of what are called ‘conspiracy’s’ regarding the origins of these cloud formations.  I mention that they are ‘so called’ because the word conspiracy has a lot of charge on it, but what I see it do is end any form of discussion and debate with the purposeful diminishment of thought the word conspiracy itself causes.  Cease and desist all critical thinking and get in line for the formulaic answer we have all been fed.  All from a simple word being given so much power, that even intelligent people stop using critical thinking.  We all lose out, from the lack of participation of everyone's minds thinking about all possibilities.

That said, whatever the origin, the reality is that we are witnessing plenty of strange cloud formations, many new official names for them, and increased weather extremes.

While continuing on the electromagnetic field shifting and tearing, that seems to be a result at least in part of the core shifting.  I was given this very clearly and then predicted the Haiti and Chilean earthquakes, I also predicted that there would be a major event on March 11, and we had the Japanese Tsunami following that earthquake.

All of these were posted on my facebook page before they happened and in many writings.

The reason I bring this up, is I felt the core shifting inside of the earth; this causes the tearing of the plates, the upward momentum it is not the plates moving that causes the shifting.  If the earth’s core is shifting, it is shifting within us too, that is to say, our own cores are shifting inside of us, so what do we anchor into then?  The electromagnetic field shifts along with this, more tearing.

With everything in what seems to be a race going faster and faster around us, what do we do?  First, we stop racing with the perception of what success means, it isn’t stuff, it will take us all down, and Virgo does not mean more stuff, it means using less to make more.

Anything in excess….ANYTHING will have consequences.

Our ‘stuff’ will be swept down the river that is flowing faster and faster, think of Sandy and count your blessings if you weren’t one of the people living in that storm.

But what if you were?  What is the foundation you are building your life upon?

7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Now what would a rock be?  It is where we put our thoughts, for there will our heart be also.  This brings me to the numerology:

We have the II, which is the High Priestess and always will be from now on as previous posts have described, you can read more on this here: http://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2011-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=1

We also have the number 20:

Judgment, we will also have this until we reach 2100 years, so think about this:  We must remind ourselves that we are living in the times of judgment, all our karma dues are up in our faces, and we will not get out of paying this debt.  If you have already, good for you.

It stands to reason and falls in line with astrology too, this is karmic debt we have all created together, especially since the conjunction in the mid ‘60’s of Uranus and Pluto.

If we extrapolate that onto the bigger picture, we see what happened with Agri-business and now have chem. Giant Monsanto the biggest player in the food industry and we are all paying the price for allowing this agent of death, Agent Orange to be precise as the harbinger of what we decided collectively was good for us.  We wanted more for less, without the consideration of the ecological consequences.

We are letting this go even further with the now ‘fracking’ industry, where we are literally drilling out the foundation underneath our feet, and the result is spilling chemicals into the water tables, which we cannot remove.

Wait until the opposition, if we don’t listen to the square!  That is our children and grandchildren who will really bare the pain of that selfishness and ignorance.

Ah, but technology (Uranus) will promise us new ways of cleaning this, eh?

Uranus is not a cleaner, but by sudden lightening-like episodes out of the blue.  In catastrophic earth changes.

The way we need to work with Uranus, is new technology that is the alternative to ecological devastation now.

That holds true for our bodies.  The idea of living recklessly however we want, and then letting ‘technology’ clean up by cutting out the mess later, is not rational thinking.

It is madness.
Judgement is mine sayeth the Lord, so get off of your cross and take whatever little baby step you can, making practical (Virgo) application of manifesting your light.  Whatever way seems like a uniquely you gift to the world, without taking from it or using more excess, take that step.

We also have the infamous number 13:

Yes, this always looks so ominous and sometimes this is exactly what it portends.  It also can simply mean endings of the things which really needed to end naturally anyway.

So let us start with some history on the lucky number 13.

First, 12 apostles plus one Christ is 13.

It is the 13th sperm that is said to break the egg to impregnate and start NEW LIFE.

It was On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templars — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices. None of these charges was ever proven, even in France — and the Order was found innocent elsewhere — but in the seven years following the arrests, hundreds of Templars suffered excruciating tortures intended to force "confessions," and more than a hundred died under torture or were executed by burning at the stake.

That was taken from: http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/historical/a/friday_the_13th_4.htm simply to make my life and writing easier right now, while sharing a point.

We also associate the number 13 with Ophiuchus as mentioned previously.  We must learn to be the serpent handler, the eagle that holds the snake rather than the reverse.  TAke the higher road.  Be an eagle and see the bigger picture.

I must say, I do feel we will see a number of strange illnesses, even perhaps…and I don’t like to share this foreboding thought, but plagues may well be upon us this year.

Between the radiation from Fukushima continuously spreading its doses over the planet (and largely all but vanished from mainstream news as if it is all hunky dory and thus our minds) we are having toxic dumps on us all.
 
This is being absorped into our earth, food and animals too. 

Let’s take a look back astrologically to see where we were: In the United States, where Fermi and Szilárd had both emigrated, this led to the creation of the first man-made reactor, known as Chicago Pile-1, which achieved criticality on December 2, 1942. This work became part of the Manhattan Project, which made enriched uranium and built large reactors to breed plutonium for use in the first nuclear weapons, which were used on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  ~taken from Wikipedia.

We had a conjunction of Saturn conjunct Uranus at 29* of Taurus (the earth/Goddess) back in April of 1942, where we thought we could ‘harness’ Saturn, ‘new technology’ Uranus.  We split the Atom, and as I write in my book, we have been ‘splitting Adam’ ever since.

Newer Cold Fusion technology such as this: http://jinnwe.com/quest.php?id=512

Is exactly the order of what we need.  We don’t need to split anything else apart, we need to come together.

We need this in our country, the USA.  No more of this divisiveness when what is so urgently needed is to calm the disparity, no more divide and conquer.  Don't be fooled into thinking you need the blue OR the red pill, don't take ANY pill, and if you do, make it purple!

As hard as the task may be, we need to find common ground not more of the Great Divide.

The future after all, is the one we create together.

Pluto will keep transforming (be the death of) a lot of archaic and worn out structures that just don’t work anymore.  It will continue as it did in the

Great Depression under the square to Uranus, to devastate the economy until we find newer ways of making a living with the earth, advancing our souls to the beat they are asking us to march in time to and evolving!

That last square was in 1934, when Uranus was at 23* of Aries (Aries again) and Pluto was at 23* of Cancer, the mother.

We had the Great Depression, and we are seeing that repeat itself to a certain extent, how bad will it get?  I will say it isn’t over…not until the last square on March 16, 2015, when Uranus has travelled to 15* of Aries and Pluto is at 15* of Capricorn.
 
These are the most vulnerable signs and degrees as well as what lies between starting with the first square and all the Cardinal signs by degree related, including Libra and Cancer.  You are being transformed and there is no way around this.

This is not out of the blue, it has been a steady process since the conjunction back in 1965 for all Cardinal signs, sometimes in an easier supporting role, and others more difficult.

We should see an upturn in the economy as we go along even from this time forward, with some more pitfalls along the way too.
In 2015, we will rise like the Phoenix, and keep rising.
 
Now lets add to get the final number: 6, The Lovers and representative of VIRGO again!

So, we see the theme?  Virgo…..which is also the 9 card or the Hermit.

We must go inside and find our own light, our lantern to light the way into the dark times and nights ahead.  The Lovers, wants can delude us into ‘A Perfect Love’ and thereby we never find REAL love, because it is messy, not perfect at all.

I have often written about this, alchemical love, but it needs repeating now, and hopefully the words will find a way of falling onto this page succinctly enough to take root and build a tree of the knowledge of love within all of us.

Love is not some trivialized or trite saying found on a postcard; making short quick sayings that are entirely lacking of the fierceness and richness of bold deep love.  Love is not all beautiful....it is tangled up and dark.  Oh sure, in the beginning it can trigger every dopamine transmitter we have and send us into ecstasy with just a thought, a fragrance a voice.  (Some people grow addicted to this lesser version of love, and never get to tread the deeper waters of the mystery, remaining standing at the gates).
Anyone that has been in any sort of love relationship...has experienced many facets, like a shiny diamond that seduces inside we go willingly falling after the spark and into the dark cave of desire and we burn in the flames of reality and the passions of sexuality that can float on the current of waves of life like a life raft at times, but we must let go and into that fire that transforms us, removing all the walls of protection and safety. That is what love does....it makes us more than we knew we were....we grab that fire and we see...we see for the first time a shiny jewel inside us....and we bring that out and we light up the world with it.
Anything less than this is simply not love...it is superficial as nice as it may feel and even though it can trigger those friendly little dopamine doses into our system. 
When you bring that flame out....you have something...if the relationship survives....it gets deeper and richer....cuts and bruises and tears and spit and all.
If it doesn't....then two people are not invested....and that is just shallow displays of the outside of a flame....there has been no alchemy....no distilling of the spiritual essence from one another.  Life will provide plenty of fuel to create the challenges, the sparks.  How we manage with each other, whether we have let go (Love really does not have any pride, especially false pride) or we cling to some sense of safety and never really get to take the big dive, is up to us.

But that is love.

Too bad so much of our ‘entrainment/entertainment’ is making up some fairy tale in our minds, teaching puerile versions and even stimulating preteens into believing they must be sexy, and that is love.  Instead of putting a stop to this, parents want to be friends with their children, and they don’t see the harm and the theft of childhood that is taking place in all the over the top video’s children listen to now.

Ahhh but now I digress.

Let us introduce some further information before I wrap this up in positive form and ideas:

This is the year of the Water Snake in Chinese astrology. -- which begins on February 10, 2013!  With the new moon in Aquarius.

The year of the Black Water Snake taps back into the energy of Virgo again, using wisdom in our decision making process and accessing the Virgo beginnings back in 1965, as well as the recent opposition from Saturn in Virgo (which started this recent time frame energy) to Uranus in Pisces , we want decisions based on thrift and wisdom, rather than excesses with fair labor (working towards getting our needs met and for wages, rather than a handout) shall see solutions and success to anyone who is applying this formula.  It is powerful for anyone doing intellectual work, writing and will be very strong indicators for advancements in new car technology, expect to see some pretty mind blowing new cars introduced (finally) that will have some real advancements as well as the movement into new infrastructures to support these newer versions. Let’s look at the snake:  The Milky Way is the Great Serpent in the sky, or the Great Mother, the Goddess Nut with Many Teets. (milk)

Aesclepius

The serpent is the symbol of Asculapius (Aesculapius) because it represented rejuvenation (renewal) as demonstrated by the periodic shedding of its skin. Many believed that snakes lived forever and that they helped discover health-giving medicinal herbs.

According to one legend, a snake brought such herbs to Asculapius (Aesculapius) and to show his gratitude, he took on the shape of a serpent, too.

We see him holding the wooden staff which was also designated as his symbol, for reaons too numerous to mention, but you do have a staff in your own spine.


Native American myths associate the shedding of a snake's skin with rebirth and renewal of all life.  Here we see both the repetition of health as a guiding theme and the shedding of the skin, or the death of what no longer serves us.                             

We must learn the lessons of Ophuchius (the 13th sign) the serpent handler or Aaron with his staff that turned into the snake and become like an eagle to hold the snake, to handle the snake.

This is the domain of Pluto, who rules Scorpio.

Will medicine rule over us or will we learn to master medicine?

As we heal the layers within us, we will see clearer and clearer that which has been occulted on the world stage, many things that have been going on since the beginning, as the dance played back and forth.  Good men and women of the past, have seen clearly and fought the good fight to bring us to awareness, most often called ‘crazy’ for doing so, so few can see it seems lunacy. 
We also have cognative dissonance, it is much easier to shut down the truth that is more unbearable, than to have to go out on a limb and stand against the powers that are there to present the limit, the resistance.  After all, the measurement of resistance is Ohm’s Law, which I have always found ironic, OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Resist! 

Don’t go over the cliff with the flow!

Fiscal or otherwise!

As we heal and shed those layers, we can leave the past that no longer serves us, other than the strength and wisdom (wise serpent) losing fears that may keep us from becoming authentic and exposing the beauty of who we are.  So Plutonian Virgo, Ophiuchus as the Phoenix is born out of the ashes of the past.

This is the year, ruled by the snake, the number 13 and being Pluto’s year to use the power of this to heal and emerge~Fearless.

Saturn at 9* Scorpio is supporting the Sun at 10* Capricorn, so the more we can structure ourselves, the more support we will get.  Don’t forget, Saturn rules the day of rest!

Get plenty of it as mentioned before!

Our psyche’s will be tested, but the more we build into the mutual reception of Saturn in
Scorpio and the sextiles and believe the whispers that urge us into a deeper us...the more we will have an easier time of things.

Mercury and Venus are both forming a trine (supporting) the Moon, so we must tap into the communication of feelings and once again, find the greatest of these, which is LOVE.

The heart will always be the WAY, but these astrological configurations are really peeling us open to have nothing left, less we find them on our own journey and take control with that one foundation.

We won’t be seeing the stagnation break up until Jupiter goes direct at the end of the month, so hang in there, and PLAN now, don’t try to move the mountain, it is not going to move.


Saturn is also still in a nice trine supporting Chiron, and Chiron is the key to Uranus, who wants to wake us up.  Healing will be the order of the day.

What visits as a sickness is what we chose to come and heal.

Each step is stepping into the light even if it is only the beginning of a new 26,000-year cycle, we are setting up the new us, our new beginnings.  The holes that Pluto square to Uranus will rip into our atmospheric beings and deep emotional reservoir’s; but they are weak spots to open and allow the light of the new energy into the deepest recesses of our psyche’s.  This doesn’t come easy.  In Japan, there is a saying called: “wabi-sabi” which in its general essence is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection, in the scars we bear in life that open us up to a larger version of our self; in nature, of believing in the seasons and the natural course of life, decay, and death.

From Wikipedia we find this definition:

"Wabi-sabi is the most conspicuous and characteristic feature of traditional Japanese beauty and it occupies roughly the same position in the Japanese pantheon of aesthetic values as do the Greek ideals of beauty and perfection in the West."[1] "if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."[2] "[Wabi-sabi] nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."[3]

I can’t think of a better way to end this, the Japanese concept being the perfect ending all by itself.

Except this:

“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose” ~Mathew 27:51 and 52. Now look at the Judgment Card again.

The only other thing, is this: Make sure you have plenty of Breathing Easy and Sleep on hand!
