Spirit Sent Me...A Real Turtle Rock

I have many mystical experiences, including my own death at the age of 17, experiencing heaven, the fusing of G-d's love and light into my being as ONE, walking around with Jesus (float walking) and asking to come back.

During my divorce, I chose to live in a barn without running water, etc. To find out who I really am, what do I really believe and why.  I was also going through a financial dis-empowerment that I never experienced before.

I started to question everything, and was worried I was disappointing G-d, feeling I may have 'failed' at my commitment...to help my husband enough to make the marriage work and diffuse his overwhelming anger.  I tried to kiss and love all that pain that was buried inside of him away.  I was not in the war, I did not serve.  Was my service to help him heal?  For nine years I tried.  I wrote notes to G-d, prayers asking for help.    (One night this culminated in an awful experience, I just cannot share at this time, so please accept my apologies.)

Anyway, at that point, I lost my eternal optimism. I felt I failed my husband and the commitment I made to G-d ~ all of it.

So I was on the cement floor, sobbing, asking, and literally pleading with G-d to show me a sign ~ show me that I was doing the right thing.  Here I was with rocks talking to me, laying all around me in a circle, I had gathered feathers, crystals, and other various items on my walks following an inner voice that lead me around the island.  I thought to myself, yes...maybe I am losing my mind.

A knock came at the door of the barn.  I was a bit startled. Did I actually hear that? Why and who would be at my door? Should I be afraid?  I am alone and there is no one around here.

I went to the door and opened it....

There stood a native American Indian......he told me: “Spirit sent him to me”.....

I replied that I wasn't in a good place, that I had been crying, in case he was picking up on my energy (as I would have) so he would know that yes, I was out of sorts.

He replied with a bow and said: “You have already honoured me by telling me the truth”...very good.

I asked him if he would like to come into my barn, though I have nothing to offer.

He said yes, he came in and saw all the rocks, feathers, crystals, etc., I was gathering, we sat on the floor and he would ask me what they were 'saying to me'. I showed him some of the songs I was writing, and that I was starting to write a fairy tale about a little girl who wakes up inside a dream talking to animals.

He told me he wanted me to come to 'Sweat Lodge' that evening, and that tomorrow he wanted to

start to take me to the sacred places on the island, and that spirit had sent him to me, because he was supposed to show me these things.

Before he left, I wanted to give him something, but really had nothing to offer, save for a cigarette, since I still smoked at the time.  I offered him one and he bowed and said: “Now you have honoured me a second time.  It is tradition, to give tobacco as a gift.”

Here now, I will share another example of the magic that awaits us, if we simply pay attention.

Indian Bob and I took many hikes together.  As we walked the many different parts of the island, he would tell me the sacred stories that were connected to each particular area.

One day, while walking with Bob, the two of us cut a path in the crystalline amber stretch along the waters of the great lake on the ‘Emerald Island’ as Bob informs me of the mission he was told I am there to fulfill.

“You have been called to the island, to tell the story of the ‘Rock Tribe’ by ‘Clam digger Woman’, yes you will tell the story of the stone people who have been keepers of the sacred stories, throughout all of time.”

As he tells me this, I look down and see what looks like a clam, but slightly different.  I reach down and pick it up, rinsing off the sand in the cool waters of Lake Erie, it glistens in the sun and as the striations of grays and browns, reveal what is a stone that seems to be a petrified clam!  Immediately after, I find another rock, reach down and pick it up and it looks just like a turtle.  With that, and eagle screeches as it divides the azure skies not but 15 feet above us, coming what seems to be so close I almost thought I should duck my head.

Bob just looks at me with a look that seemed more dazzled and shocked than I was, and says to me: “They don’t usually fly that close, he is watching out for you and that was another sign that what I am saying is true.” 

We hiked up onto one of the many huge limestone rocks piled along the shore and sat down for the sunset show to blaze fire along the stretching blues running into each other in the horizon and meeting in the distance.  As he began his descent, two crescent rainbows arched into one another and again we looked at each other as we hummed in awe at the treat we had been given that day with each other.

That eagle watched me the entire time I was on the island healing and writing....if I called him...he came.....it was quite magical during an otherwise difficult time.

For some reason, I am always given the most wondrous magical times and love, even in my darkest hour.  Always angels show up to save me, guide me....real amazingly mystical times have I have lived.

The universe was speaking so loudly to me that day, loud enough for me to carry the message to this page to share with you right now.  It has been a long time coming home.

I feel each of us has a key, a sacred truth that is buried within us, to share and help each other wake up.  If we weave these stories together, we will see a much bigger picture that as individuals, are occluded enough to keep us wading through the darkness.

I apologize, for taking so long to have the guts to begin to share these stories, I have carried for so long.  Each word, is like emptying a sack of stones, to make my walk and journey lighter.

I hope it helps to act as a key, much like Chiron is the key to the astrology chart, as I was told mystically after taking a retreat with Barbara Hand Clow, and she explained that it was the ‘rainbow’ bridge.  Once I looked at the symbol (which is always a font of information) it was unmistakable.

Since Chiron pierces the veil, between Saturn and Uranus, I thought of it as ‘Parsifal’, who perceives the all…by piercing the veil.  I have taught this many times in classes in the years that followed, and shared many times on social media and with friends and clients as I read for them, or was simply sharing what was fondly coined: ‘a Gloriaism’ by one of my students.

The wounded healer, which I am quite visibly now, having a long doorway, that runs from just below my breast to the top of my thigh and across to the other.  Yes, I have been ‘in through the out-door’ and returned.  I know this, all life first comes through the wounding, even the ovum, must be ‘wounded’ by the sperm, to be impregnated.

My walking out and back into this world when I died?  That is another story, and another chapter.

Blood Moon opening up the Dimensional Doorways

Just as most of us will rise tomorrow (April 4^th), a lunar eclipse will be taking place, starting at 6:16 EDT, total eclipse begins at 7:58AM and will last until 8:03, with the greatest eclipse at 8:00AM.  The whole show will end by 9:45AM.

The moon will be in Libra as she waxes into fullness at 8:07AM at 14*.

She will be standing in front of the radiance that illuminates her, but she will be blocking us from that male solar energy, as our fiery star pours his every light into her waiting embrace at 14* of Aries the RAm, and Mercury/Hermes tries to catch up at 8* of Aries and they are both following closely behind Uranus at 16* of Aries, as he squares Pluto/Hades at 15* of Capricorn.

So, insights and inspiration should be pushing at the throttle a bit now…wanting that release, like a great thoroughbred in his gate, just waiting for the sound of the starting gun.

We have been spiraling through the galaxy, and as we do, we make certain transits, that allow us a view, of both the road we have traveled, the decisions we have made, the course we have been on, and this is all culminating in this time.

This is the 3^rd of the 4 tetrad blood moons, which I have written extensively on, and drawing the

comparisons, so many others have, to previous periods of blood moons, that fall on High Holy Days.  (Passover/Pesach in April and the last one blood moon falls on Sukkot, September 27^th. At 4* of Aries, culminating the Libra/Aries polarity.

Here, I will make a comparison for you.  Consider the Yggdrasil, world tree and the upper, middle and lower levels; or Dante’s Inferno, and the 9 levels of hell, or even Stadium Checkers, and all those layers and the different perspectives, those layers or levels present in each of those examples.

This is what we are doing…we have been on a journey that has become so intense, so fast moving, sometimes it has become just too much for some to continue on, in marriages, relationships, jobs, homes, and spiritual beliefs.  Even, to simply continue…there are many people, who may find a smile when they travel outside, but once they return to the sanctuary of their own residence, the walls to their façade falls down, the heavy weight they feel once again can swallow them up, and they begin that descent into the levels…

Since this is an eclipse, the head of the dragon is aligned with La Luna at 10* and he wags his tail between the Sun and Hermes at 10* of Aries.  We are consuming everything that is being dissected on the world stage, and the dragon is eating all that feminine energy and we see too, the discussion about fairness.  Are the Police being fair?  Was the suspect acting appropriately?  Are people paid enough?  What is a fair amount of income?  HOW AM I VALUED AND HOW DO I VALUE? 

Venus/Aphrodite at 21* of Taurus, so this will emphasize this aspect, because Taurus is ‘I Have’…so we are talking about ‘VALUES’.

Now, can you look back over the past 20 years, and see how you have been challenged on what YOU BELIEVE?  Have you adjusted those beliefs and are you now coming to a more clear and focused picture of what you believe, value on all those levels?

The path you choose now, sets the course for the next 19.5 years in very personal ways.

Once we travel so far down, what I will call a life tube, that reality is what envelopes us, and we play out that role for the duration, as we again learn and adjust and grow.

This will create intense shifting for the next 6 months too, riding on the back of the new moon eclipse

we just had on March 20^th. At the anoretic degree of 29* in PIsces and quickly moving into that 1* zone, in the very first house of Aries…so we see that we have traveled through the many mansions of the house, and we were put into the lock to wait our move, even as we began to peak out in our new garments.

We always read the last degree’s and in particular the 29^th degree, as the beginning of the next house/sign…but there are those things that need to be tied up, hopefully you have done that work, so you can move forward.

Now, imagine climbing up a spiral staircase, and you can look down the center of the well, and see the floors below…this is the kind of perspicacity that we have been given, to see ourselves, and this world, with more clarity as those veils fall down.

But, let’s get back to those blood moon tetrads, and the relationship to Israel.

Back in 1948, we had blood moon tetrad, and Israel became a nation recognized legally, following the (חרור‎ "The War of Liberation"), in Eretz-Israel to be known as the State of Israel.

The next blood moon tetrad came in 1967, and we had the The Six-Day War (Hebrew: מלחמת ששת הימים, Milhemet Sheshet Ha Yamim; Arabic: النكسة, an-Naksah, "The Setback" or حرب ۱۹٦۷, Ḥarb 1967, "War of 1967"), also known as the June War, 1967 Arab–Israeli War, or Third Arab–Israeli War, was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt (known at the time as the United Arab Republic), Jordan, and Syria. ~ excerpt from Wikipedia.

So, we can see this is very powerful indeed, and what do we see on the world stage right now?  The escalations again of conflict in the middle east, but we also just had the announcement, that we have renegotiated our relationship with Iran, discussions of Nuclear capability have been on the table, and this is being heralded as a great success from the White House, while at the same time, some believe it is exactly the opposite, and is only a mask on the impossible.

The point for this article right now, is to illustrate the importance of these blood moon tetrads and their historical past.

And we see, it is also about ‘values’…what people are willing to do, go through for their values and

the home…

By now, you feel a clearing has taken place, you may feel similar to how you felt in some ways back in 1996/1997 as we entered that time cycle.  The difference being, a more profoundly solid you, even as the more defined model, is perhaps a bit more flexible?  Sliding Doors?

You may also feel that as you clear those grey or more ignorant beliefs up, this makes room for the heart energy to fill you back up, and this is coming from the heart of the galaxy.

This all forms a T-Square, as the stellium of the Sun, Mercury, and Uranus, oppose the moon and the Dragon’s head and both square Pluto in Capricorn sitting in the middle at 90* between the two.
Sit with your being, connect with the Divine and find gratitude for all you can now, truly we have found so many new levels that we may have had a bit of a time, negotiating as we newly entered, but now some of that has settled down and we have much deeper and profound yet gentle appreciation and love.

Use your ArcAncient Ascension © blend, to elevate yourself and connect both deeply into the core of the earth, your own core and then extend out your aura, in joy, as you look around and see how you partner with others.

You can see through other people’s eyes, and find new heart-space for their path and their own battles.

So, we move forward now, in gratitude, as I am grateful for all of you.
We are in a Libra/Aries energy, who do you partner with, how do you see yourself through their eyes?  Partner with the Earth first, then you will always have firm ground to walk upon.

Before you push off, make sure you are going in the direction of your heart…but go ahead, push off…it is time to test our sea-worthiness and spin the stuff of dreams.

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 5^th house, home of Leo the Lion and a Solar house.  Leo is on the cusp of the 2^nd 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?

Lots of aches and pains will resurface as our old wounds are once again being opened for deeper healing, so we will have our Arthritis & Fibromyalgia (bone lover ©) and Muscle Ease © as well as our Arthritis roll on all on special.

Before the full moon in Gemini at 25* on the 17^th, make sure you come back for some awesome Christmas/Holyday gift ideas from your guide to a WHOLE Holy YOU, ArcAncient going on 20 years!

And find the tools to assist you through this time, get ready for the new year and help your friends while supporting a local small business.

 

Getting our Sea Legs as Hermes Looks to the Past

 

The ocean tides surround us, tugging at us and taking us deeper into the mystery as we try and gasp for air, the kind of air that is simply not necessary in the deep waters of Mercury in Scorpio.  This is a rare kind of air.

So, until you adjust your breathing, you will feel overwhelmed.  Sadness might creep in, despondence, futility; all of these ‘emotions’ can make you want to pull the covers back over your head and stay in bed.

Once again, the tidal wall emerges from the flat horizon that blocks out the sun as Hermes dives down into the Neptunian depths, on his way to sextile Pluto on Friday November 1^st, just two days before the new moon in Scorpio on November 3^rd at 11* of Scorpio.

Oh, and yes this is another eclipse, part of the pattern that has been unfolding the entire year. 

So, an eclipse in Scorpio with Mercury retrograde and just for some more fun, let’s add the conjunction to Saturn which is in mutual aspect to Pluto in Capricorn.
We can do all things with RE as a prefix, repair, rewire, rewind, remind, recall, rewrite, etc.

We have entered the time, when Hermes is looking backwards…yes the messenger God Mercury is standing still in the heavens, while we continue to move forward, almost like a petulant child, he refused to move forward until we hear his demands ~and get the message loud and clear.  Can you hear me now?

So we must dive down for the pearls, the shining truth that will emerge out of the darkness while La-Luna stands before her solar being and they merge energy, (Brave-hearted Lion energy)and She absorbs all His Radiance, for those few minutes and unless we have adjusted our sight, we will not see the gleaming truth, the gifts she bears.

Ahhhh, but in the depths of Neptune/Poseidon, which asks us to reign in our Sea Horse (deep thoughts) and whispers in our dreams, all that we have submerged into our sub-conscious  that is tangled up and dark; that we may have not totally looked square in the eyes can become a mill stone around our neck, and down, down we go; A Voyage to the bottom of the sea.

The watery ones wrap around us and sometimes may make us believe we simply cannot even breathe.

Once again, the obstacles come up from the deep, the dark monsters come calling, The Kraken is released to find the Virgin and take her deep into his underwater cave, where Pluto/Hades peers through the cracks and bellows out the magma from his deeper world yet, holding all the power he waits for the lament, the song of the heart.

Everything seems to reflect back, skew the reality like looking through water and trying to see past illusions.

We have entered the hall of mirrors, how can we triumph like Neptune and Amphitrite? 

Every which way we turn, our past flashes upon the glassy world as we glimpse the truth in shards and the mystery subsumes the insight as soon as we find it; pulling away like the trickiest fish; our bait and all our hooks are left clean.

This only leaves enough time for another image to appear, begging our attention lest we lose our footing and fall even deeper into the cavernous darkness.

Now, if one is in fact a Scorpio, this may feel super-uber intense and if we have cleaned out our closets, might find us sunning on some far away island feeling exhilarated and shining.  Any of us may feel the depths as a safety, a home as it envelopes our hearts and minds with its soft glove, nurturing and caressing our spirits great full we have found our deeper selves and a grace, that abiding kindness in the universe that reminds us we are not alone.

If not…well, you along with the rest of those signs on the fixed cross; Leo, Aquarius and Taurus (who will be sitting in opposition to the whole stellium) might find yourselves going down without a life-preserver in sight.

Wait for the Hail Mary pass, it is coming if you give in and stop trying to swim against the tides.  Any swimmer knows you cannot swim out of a rip-tide, you have to float out of that tide, sometimes going sideways or even further away from shore, but you cannot ‘swim against the tide’.  Unless of course you are a salmon ready to give birth!

An eclipse asks us to see differently, with different eyes and shed the false selves.  A lot of shenanigans go on in the world stage during the dark of the moon as she is occulting the sun.

One thing we know for sure, we need to water that which is NEW.

If you are trying the same old same old, then chances are you are only stirring up the muddy bottom and you absolutely MUST LET THE DIRT SETTLE, before you can move forward.

You are not seeing clearly if you are running in place.  It is just that simple.

We will have old friends come back into our lives, watch where Saturn and Mercury are located by sign and house for clues.

It is the same as it ever was  ~ the same as it ever was ~ only now it is on steroids.

So, this new moon will have us putting our big girl/boy pants on one leg at a time, even as we list from one side to the other trying to get our sea legs.  We can expect major earth changes, especially as Uranus moves into another one of the exact squares to Pluto in their cycle with each other.  Watch as the moon and the nodes go over the galactic center and trigger events.

With Lord of karma/the Rings/EL harnessing the occulted dark new moon’s energy, while she is infused with the sun and he couples with her, we want to check our ego’s at the door and pour our talents and our emotions into reviewing the past, to seed our new world; don't let him eat your children/ideas!  Give him a stone!

Remember, as I always like to say, even adjusting our sails a mere 1* will have has at a decidedly different point in the future.

While the sexual musings come bubbling up, asking us to return to carnal knowledge and tantric rites of passage, we ask ourselves, what is it all about Alfie?

Mars is in direct sextile to this new moon in Virgo, so we are ‘recalculating route’ and then be prepared to put our energy, emotions and actions into what makes us feel good, and how do we put a structure to that?  What really makes you feel good?

Healthy life choices, cleanses, and all processes of elimination are encouraged, to make way for the new.

Especially if we make those choices now, just after the full moon in Aries on the 18^th, it is the blood moon.

So release…surrender into grace.

Chiron is also sextile the new moon eclipse at 9* of Pisces, so all of the world is a stage, and we are the actors in the fields of dreams.

When Mercury goes direct again on November 10^th at 2* of Scorpio, and by the time of the full moon of November in Taurus at 25*on the 17^th, be prepared for the secrets to come spilling out like red wine on a white tablecloth.

Those of us hanging on the Cardinal Cross: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, are still navigating a sea of change, as Pluto/Hades (death/taxes/transformation/legacy) continues to transform us in Capricorn, and squares Uranus (change/genius/community/innovation) in Aries, but at least we have some support in the form of the sextiles spinning the wheels of life now.

February New Moon is a blizzard of energy in 2013

 

February 10, 2013, new moon 2:21AM EST

This is the chart of the heavens on this day of our Lord.

The following day, February 11, with Sun and Moon squaring the nodes of of the moon: Pope Benedict XVI, announced his resignation which shall end his Papacy on February 28, 2012, while stating the new pope should be sworn in around Easter.

Wow!

In the meantime, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands has also announced she will abdicate her throne; while making suggestions that Queen Elizabeth will also do so in the future.

So, as the moon and the sun join together in union today at 21*h,(angel of man on the fixed cross, Ezekiel’s wheel) squaring the moons nodes, the head and tail of the dragon; major announcements are making the airwaves of Uranus, which rules Aquarius.

They make no other major aspect to any planet, so they are left alone, save for the exact square to nodes in Scorpio and Leo, the serpent and the lion.  The head of the dragon is in the snake; we enter the year of the Chinese Water Snake with this new moon, which consumes the rat whole.

 TS-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S-S!

She coils up, gleaming in the light of the sun and moon in conjunctiva, ready to raise the kundalini with a powerful force of new life, new growth as she has shed her skin and is born anew.

The third decanate of Aquarius is Libra, the balancing act.  As the moon increases, or waxes we shall feel ourselves struggle to balance it all and find that homeostasis perhaps when the moon is full at 8* of Virgo on February 25, 2013.

In Libra, she wants to entertain and celebrate the good things with friends, at community plays and doing charitable work.  How will you invest in your community in this cycle?

 

Jupiter at 6*of ` (Gemini) squaring Mercury at 07*i(Pisces)may make communications and computers act up, technical difficulties along with automobile problems can all be a nuisance during this cycle.  It might feel as though Mercury is retrograde, when it is this square being activated, though Mercury will not go retrograde until March 1, at 17* i.

 

In addition, with Mercury conjunct Mars at 6* of Pisces and widely by a 5* orb to Neptune at 2* Pisces what we see is a lot of Neptunian water all clouding our ability to see clearly in this square.  We have Chiron the wounded healer leading this pack, so this could definitely be an emotional time.  Try and walk lightly with each other.

 We know Jupiter (Zeus) expands everything, in this square he can make mountains out of molehills.  Hopefully we can tap into building using the square, he is also in a nice trine to Venus at 10* hAquarius so using diplomacy and manners can go a long way.

Jupiter is also in a sextile to Uranus (Ouranos) who is at 6*  (Aries), so that is a nice support to action in the higher octave (Uranus) of Mercury.  So be higher minded, and do the best you can not to let the mundane world make you dizzy in a murky pool of obfuscation.

Now, no one knows better than I; that this is not always possible, we are in human form after all.  So, if you must, retreat…take a breath and play some music.  Meditate, pray, do what makes you feel better.

I would also recommend using either: ArcAncient’s Remember Roll-on © or Sleep (mother earth) Angel © to help you ground and fall into the loving arms of mother earth, using the root oils, will help you feel that support and not have a fuse blow.  We know we need to ground the current of energy in a home, so too do we need to do this with our own beings.

Where I am, it is a little bit too cold and snowy to go out and lay on the ground to connect and literally (ground) into the negative pole of the mother.

One can also do this by holding a tree, giving thanks either way and asking for the help.

Now, if you just want to use essential oils, then we suggest Vetiver (root oil that is also known as ‘Oil of Tranquility’ and which is in the Sleep Angel ©.

Or, if you are needing a deeper kind of connection and healing, then Spikenard (Nardostachys Jatamansi) which is also a root oil, and the oil referred to biblically as “Nard” oil, also the oil used by Mary Magdalene to anoint Jesus, which was in that act of ‘sacred anointing ritual at the wedding feast’ literally a ‘Christ-ening’.

It is for wounds that will not heal, and is also in our Sleep Angel © and in our Re-Member Roll On ©.

The roll on makes it convenient to use and carry with you.

 And yes, Pluto and Uranus are still in a wide (separate by 4*) square to each other in Capricorn and Aries, respectively; so they will be nudging each other in all the ways previous articles have expounded on in more detail.

Re-Member Roll On ©

This roll on, will help to study and remember material.  It helps to focus the mind, calming it down and increase mental clarity.   

There are medical studies, showing decreased oxidative stress (which has been evidenced to play a vital role in the causation of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s) in part because of Spikenards antioxidant and ability to enhance biogenic amines; which can slow neuronal injury.

Sleep Angel Roll on ©

This roll on, includes Spikenard as mentioned above, and another ingredient is Vetiver, which is a root oil from the grass native to India, Vetiver (Vetiveria Zizazinoids).

Vetiver’s root strength has been tested as being equivalent to one-sixth that of mild steel, according to an article at the website: www.vertiver.org.  So strong are the roots, that they are called; ‘Living soil nails’ or dowels that can pin soil together.  The roots have been recorded at depths of 6 meters which is almost 20 feet! (19’  8 ¼”)The roots are capable of punching through hardpan and weathering rock, which improves the drainage.

Long used in ritual and medicinal purposes in India, Vetiver roots were known to be fragrant, especially upon wetting the often interwoven roots.  As a ritualistic or magical use, water pots with dried Vetiver powder, Khus Khus were kept outside of Temple doorways, to cleanse the hands and feet before entering.  Vetiver was known to have fungicidal properties also, so there was the added bonus.

Also known as ‘the oil of tranquility’ it is known to calm the spirit, the mind and help to ground the being so it is not feeling anxious.

The combining of these two oils in the sleep angel, is part of our magical formula. 

*Roll on the bottoms of feet liberally and rub into skin.  You will inhale the scent that wafts up, and it will begin to help you calm down, specifically a busy mind that keeps one awake.

If you are not sleeping in 20 minutes, apply more.  You must decide for yourself, through experience, what works best for you.  I roll it on my legs and some on my arms, but I have been using it for almost 20 years, and first created this for my own overactive mind.

 

If you recall, Pluto is lord of the underworld, so we want to be able to soothe and comfort any turmoil that is being dredged up in Pluto’s transit through Capricorn and in particular in the square to Uranus, which can unhinge people.
