The Epiphany Of Illusions

Uranus in TAUrus, is like grounding lightening into the earth.  Uranus rules Aquarius, and with the recent Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter at 00* Aquarius we now have another CONTAINER/SATURN creating the VESSEL/VASE, for Jupiter’s expansion making the container as voluminous as necessary to hold those who are evolved into the ‘ANGEL OF MAN’ which is Aquarius.

This is all about YOU learning why you came to this earth now, and how to be of service, and angel to others.

When first Jupiter 6*(1/17/2021) and then Saturn (2/17/2021)7* SQUARE Uranus (along with visiting traveler Mars when Jupiter squares) these titans are FORCING the energy of Aquarius into BUILDING THE CHANGE.

If you are conscious of this light finding a vessel (the Water Bearer/Aquarius) is so, because she is pouring out the water and Illusion from Neptune’s Piscean world into the AIR (AIRWAVES).

The Magi (astrologers) followed the Great Conjunction back in their day, to the birth of the Christ Child. (We are supposed to be birthing our own Christed/Illuminated Child).  Remember, He is born from the Immaculate Conception (this alone is part of the mystery to unravel, He is begotten not made, one in being with the Father and is born of the VIRGIN (you haven’t given birth to this light yet) who was IMMACULATELY CONCEIVED from Anna/Hannah which literally means GRACE.

Hail Mary, ‘FULL OF GRACE’.

Another important prayer to recite is the ‘Magnificat’, which is when Mary learns from the Angel Gabriel that SHE will carry the Christ Child, which we learn in Luke 1:46-55.  It is one of the prayers I say throughout the day.

Now you may ask yourselves, how can He receive Israel?

This is where your search in the mystery leads you to the first time we hear the word Israel.

That is when Jacob wrestles or ‘contends’ with God.

Israel is a biblical given name. According to the biblical Book of Genesis the patriarch Jacob was given the name Israel after he wrestled with the angel. The given name is already attested in Eblaite and Ugaritic. Commentators differ on the original literal interpretation. The text of Genesis etymologizes the name with the root śarah "to rule, contend, have power, prevail over": שָׂרִיתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִים ‎, but modern suggestions read the el as the subject, for a translation of "El/God rules/judges/struggles", "El fights/struggles". ~From Wikipedia

When does a child begin to struggle with their own parents?  When they think they are now 'old enough' to question who they are, instead of who their parents want them to be.  

Meaning of Israel: Israel is the Hebrew name Yisra'el, meaning God contends, or one who struggles with God. God gives this name to Abraham’s grandson Jacob after he spends a night wrestling with God (Genesis 32:28). Later, Israel is the name given to Jacob’s offspring and to the nation that they eventually form.

El as I have stated so many times now, is the God of the Old Testament that came out of Egypt, it is Saturn.  The Lord of the Rings, ruler of time as the chronocrator.  

Therefore, speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith,

By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand;
and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
for this people's heart is waxed gross,
and their ears are dull of hearing,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest at any time they should see with their eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and should understand with their heart,
and should be converted, and I should heal them. Is. 6.9, 10 

Harden not your hearts…

The Great Chronocrator

I believe that one phrase and this:  “The Greatest of these is love” from Corinthians, is like a master key to knowing the TRUTH, THE LIGHT AND THE WAY.

Because it is through the heart that one can see, feelings can get in the way, but if something can get in the WAY, they hold the key to the WAY.

It is true in my own experience.  I bet it is also true in yours.

I have recounted many times now, how painful experiences in my life, opened the doorway to knowing a greater insight about myself and thus, the universe.

Indeed, I have a very large scar (of many scars) that runs the length of my torso, that was my doorway out and back into this world when I had my Last Rites.

People loving me and not letting me go, masses being said, candles lit, all helped to find my spirit and bring me back, along with my own choice and willpower and of course, the Grace of God allowing me to return.

It was a WOUND.

When I died and crossed over, I experienced everything, I ‘float walked’ could SEE WITH MY THIRD EYE, my HEART HAS NEVER FELT THAT KIND OF LOVE IN THIS WORLD, and yet it feels that great love, I returned to great physical pain of this REALITY and the open wound and sickness.

The Holy Spirit is a fire that does not burn, it is water that is not wet.

But it is our feelings that that help to expose the HOLY SPIRIT.

Heart cords reach across time and space and connect us to those we truly love whether they are here in this world or have crossed over.

Recently, I have had many who have crossed over, coming to me in my dreams again, every night.

I have spoken to others who are experiencing the very same thing, LUCID DREAMING.

Astrologically, we are currently under a very hard transit of Neptune In PIsces squaring the head and tail of the dragon (the nodes of the moon).

These are WATERY PLANETS and aspects so it is all about REFLECTION.

Narcissist, can’t find anyone to love, until he sees his own refection in the water.

A narcissist reflects back to someone, what the person wants to see, what they WISH WAS REAL.  The narcissist plays this in people, their victims.

They take on the ILLUSIONS someone wants to believe and reflect them back to the wishful thinker.

And just as you look into the mirror the image is reversed, so too is the power of the narcissist.  They make you believe they are all about you, when the only person they care about, is themselves.

This is a very hard lesson to learn.  But one that keeps coming up now.

We have been seduced down a road of narcissism for many, the American Dream.

We adulate (collectively) the hero archetype. 

This time has been all about ‘leveling’ the playing field, by something you cannot even see, the exact opposite.  Yet, this unseen world has taken over the whole world stage.

Several versions of the myth have survived from ancient sources. The classic version is by Ovid, found in book 3 of his Metamorphoses (completed 8 AD); this is the story of Echo and Narcissus. One day Narcissus was walking in the woods when Echo, an Oread (mountain nymph) saw him, fell deeply in love, and followed him. Narcissus sensed he was being followed and shouted "Who's there?". Echo repeated "Who's there?" She eventually revealed her identity and attempted to embrace him. He stepped away and told her to leave him alone. She was heartbroken and spent the rest of her life in lonely glens until nothing but an echo sound remained of her. Nemesis (as an aspect of Aphrodite[4]), the goddess of revenge, noticed this behaviour after learning the story and decided to punish Narcissus. Once, during the summer, he was getting thirsty after hunting, and the goddess lured him to a pool where he leaned upon the water and saw himself in the bloom of youth. Narcissus did not realize it was merely his own reflection and fell deeply in love with it, as if it were somebody else. Unable to leave the allure of his image, he eventually realized that his love could not be reciprocated and he melted away from the fire of passion burning inside him, eventually turning into a gold and white flower.[5][6]

An earlier version ascribed to the poet Parthenius of Nicaea, composed around 50 BC, was discovered in 2004 by Dr Benjamin Henry among the Oxyrhynchus papyri at Oxford.[7][8] Unlike Ovid's version, it ended with Narcissus who lost his will to live and committed suicide. A version by Conon, a contemporary of Ovid, also ends in suicide (Narrations, 24). In it, a young man named Ameinias fell in love with Narcissus, who had already spurned his male suitors. Narcissus also spurned him and gave him a sword. Ameinias committed suicide at Narcissus's doorstep. He had prayed to the gods to give Narcissus a lesson for all the pain he provoked. Narcissus walked by a pool of water and decided to drink some. He saw his reflection, became entranced by it, and killed himself because he could not have his object of desire.[9][5] A century later the travel writer Pausanias recorded a novel variant of the story, in which Narcissus falls in love with his twin sister rather than himself (Guide to Greece, 9.31.7).[10][11] In all versions, his body disappears and all that is left is a narcissus flower.

Psychology

The story of Narcissus gave rise to the term "narcissism", a fixation upon oneself and one's physical appearance or public perception.[12][13] In 1898 Havelock Ellis, an English sexologist, used the term "narcissus-like" in reference to excessive masturbation, whereby the person becomes their own sex object.[14] In 1899, Paul Näcke was the first person to use the term "narcissism" in a study of sexual perversions.[citation needed] Otto Rank, in 1911, published the first psychoanalytical paper specifically concerned with narcissism, linking it to vanity and self-admiration.[14] Sigmund Freud published a paper exclusively devoted to narcissism in 1914, called "On Narcissism: An Introduction".~ From Wikipedia

Back to the astrology: The head of the dragon is at 19 Gemini, (Castor and Pollux) but this is also Mercury/Hermes and unless you INTEGRATE the two, he can be the trickster.

Mercury also co rules the unseen leg of this which is 18/19* Virgo.

The tail is at 19* Sagittarius, asking us to purge the detritus of ignorant thinking about what is foreign, and plain IGNORANCE, which is just not having learned the truth.  The archer wants to shoot straight into the heart of the matter.

This will take the wrecking ball to old and archaic forms of learning/education.

It is time for new ways of learning which I have been preaching about for decades.

We need children to learn in gardens and the woods.

We need to bring back the EL-e ments to elementary schools.

The Sabian symbol for 19* Virgo:

Swimming Race you may find yourself in competition over emotional issues or working your way through shared emotions and hoping to win, or to come out on top. It is through training and practice and the controlled use of your emotions that success can be achieved. It is this experience that you must call on now. Work hard at achieving the win for rewards in the larger picture (club, school, country) or for winning the race leaving purely personal gains behind may be the answer.

Have you determined your outcomes? Have you got goals in mind? Are you competing in the race? Do you feel like you’re on the sidelines? Are you feeling the heat of competition? Are you sticking to your ‘lane’? Do you sense that others are ‘competing’ with you, even though you just want to get on with your own race? Are you tired from having to push yourself? Do you, perhaps, need more physical, emotional or spiritual training?

https://sabiansymbols.com/mercury-on-virgo-19-a-swimming-race/

Looking sideways to see how others are coping with the strain of competition. Competing with one’s emotions. Wanting to be first at everything.

Virgo represents all those on the front lines of this epidemic.  THEY WILL RECIEVE THEIR RIGHTFUL CROWNS FROM THE CORONA.  They are the HANDMAIDEN'S.

It all leads up to, an EPIPHANY.

Feast of the Epiphany January 6th, 2021

Epiphany is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God incarnate as Jesus Christ. In Western Christianity, the feast commemorates principally the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child, and thus Jesus' physical manifestation to the Gentiles. It is sometimes called Three Kings' Day, and in some traditions celebrated as Little Christmas. Moreover, the feast of the Epiphany, in some denominations, also initiates the liturgical season of Epiphanytide.

Epiphanytide is a season of new beginnings .

What very real way, can you give birth to your own sacred being/your christed self?  What can YOU do on this planet to help a season of new beginnings?

What light can you shed?

And I must clarify, that if you don’t feel this, it is okay too.

You must meet yourself wherever you are.  You cannot push, if you are in a dark place (and this dark time of the year, is very hard for many) don’t beat yourself up.

The last blog I sent out, I asked you to think about NOT trying to make someone better when they are in a hard place, but just being able to sit with them in their darkness, which is one of the hardest things for any of us to do.

It’s like being mad and someone saying: ‘Don’t be mad!’… it usually makes someone even angrier.

You cannot change HOW SOMEONE FEELS.  It is their right to feel that way.

You cannot direct it.

That doesn’t mean it is not also a good thing to be able to make people feel good or better.  Wisdome is knowing the difference between the two.

Virgo is a servant, not a master.  They free themselves by serving others.

So as we try to get CLARITY in this TIME OF ILLUSIONS.

Go to the earth.

Here, I share the wisdom of other elders:

Advice  from María Sabina, Mexican healer and poet - 

“Heal yourself with the  light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river  and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of  birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with  lavender, rosemary, and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a  hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking  at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and  the hugs of the rain. Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground  and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter every day by  listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead.  Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with  beautiful love, and always remember ... you are the medicine.”

It is time for AN EPIPHANY!
We have had the star come out to show the way.  And now, Jupiter pushes into square Uranus.

EXPANSION.

Pay attention to your dreams and insights!

20/20 Hindsight In The Rear View Mirror, We Flow Gracefully Into Peaceful Landscapes and Streams. 2021

 

As we say goodbye to 2020, we open a door to let the remnants and carcasses no longer necessary scamper out.  We invite in all prosperous and uplifting thoughts and actions, filled with a kind heart and spiritually joyous and holy momentum forward into 2021.
Neptune dissolves the decaying occlusions of the dark and deceitful thoughts that kept out the light of truth and freedom.
We are no longer hampered perpetuated ignorance and all ill wishes and negative energies are burned up in the flames of the past.  Casting even greater light to shine a clear path ahead, while GRACE magnifies all that is good, just and beneficial.
We move with ease and that grace, gently forward on a clear stream, grateful for the lessons learned and revealed and no longer necessary in our lives.
All is well, Good bye 2020, hello 2021.
All the best to you all, God Bless. 

The Panorama Of Pandemic, A Mother's Sorrow

Clinging to the craggy cliff’s edges, the cold wind blowing, stinging your face, you cover your eyes to protect them from the penetrating rays of the blinding, blazing sun.  Capricorn.  When you consider the work and ‘monumental’ effort it takes to climb a mountain, it gives a clear picture of 2020 for so many.

It is also an apt description of Saturnian energy, and wherever Saturn is in your chart by house and sign, that is where you must put forth this effort.

For it is this planet (as well as where Capricorn falls in your chart placement) where you develop your discipleship. 
Without that discipleship/discipline, you cannot attain the rewards and perspicacity, wisdom of Saturn that eventually brings FREEDOM.

The beginning of this year, started with a line up in this sign, the planets all taking us mountain climbing and when you add the planet Pluto, the ruler of the ‘underground’ and of course, known by his other name, Hades the far more ominous sounding of the two, and then imagining literally the gates of Hades opening up the icy cliffs and exposing all the detritus, as well as the wealth that the earth holds (Ploutos is also the Greek word for wealth and the root of the word, Plutocracy)as shared in the 2013 blog here:  https://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/2013/02/pluto-in-capricorn-evolution-of-world.html

Saturn rules GOVERNMENT.

What has been exposed is just how many and how much, people do not trust the government.  A lot of corporate money has been INVESTED in making sure people don’t trust the government, because privatization is on the schedule, but in many ways will lose out with Saturn and Jupiter’s Great Conjunction in Aquarius.

Those are some biblical examples of Ploutos, which I though fitting since this has been a year of biblical proportions, including ending the year with the Star of Bethlehem that the Magi followed over 2000 years ago.

You see, the Book of Light is much deeper than most people ever go, and then miss out on so much ILLUMINATION of the MYSTERY’S. 

Saturn and Pluto together can be MAGNIFIED FEAR which can cause DEEP DEPRESSION.  It can have a lot to do with measuring ones WORTH as their achievements on the top of the mountain/peak or CROWNING doesn’t add up to their hopes, dreams and ambitions (Saturn/Capricorn/10^th house rules ambitions).

You can also reach your goals only to discover they are not as fulfilling as you thought they would be.  It is at this point, that some people can fall into despair, others turn inward and do some deeper reflection, and still others turn their focus on new goals.  None of this is either/or.  It obviously can be, it doesn’t take too much delving into historical figures to see this play out.

A clear example of this is when men turn a certain age (Uranus opposition or Saturn return) and buy a sports car and want a new younger woman. 

It does not help that the Western Mind is obsessed with celebrity and fame.

I point out that fame, in and of itself is not bad, but it can be very difficult to handle that energy, power and RESPONSIBILITY which is also a key word for Saturn.  These men (and yes, some women too) have set themselves up to ‘live the American Dream’ and can feel as though they have fallen short or feel cheated out of that ‘promise’, which of course, is the opposite of the deeper gifts Saturn and life can bring.

Saturn rules structure, your home, business, bones, teeth, and knees of the body.

Pluto rules the Mob, other people’s money, insurance and inheritance, and the reproductive organs, sex and secrets or what is hidden. (like a virus)

Can you see how bringing these two together and then adding the Great Magnifier, Jupiter to the mix might bring to yourself, to society?

The saying: “It’s lonely at the top” can be further elucidated during this years revelations, in just how lonely so many people feel.

Which brings me to the full moon in Cancer on Tuesday, December 29^th at 10:28PM, when the moon stands across from the sun at 8*53’ Cancer and the sun is at 8*53’ Capricorn, and both ILLUMINATE THAT ENERGY.

Cancer the Mother, ruler of the 4^th house, the moon, which is also symbolic of people, can be missing her children right now, for all those mothers who didn’t get their dose of family during the holidays.  It can feel like the ‘empty nest syndrome’ for some mothers and fathers.
Even during facetime, or skyping/zooming whichever new Aquarian medium that is used, parents and mothers in particular watching their children enjoy the holidays, can still feel left out and unnecessary.

Here is a really wonderful article on loneliness, closeness and emptiness:
Microsoft Word - 07-OnEmptinessandClosenessII (cflarchives.org)

~By THOMAS F. FOGARTY, M.D.

“... Consequently, everyone is at least a little lonely, feels that he is inadequate, a failure — in a word, feels some emptiness. It is important to realize and acknowledge this natural incompleteness. The myth that completeness exists, the desperate search for it, leads people to attempt the impossible. If one learns to accept incompleteness, to define the fifth dimension of self, then he will engage in the possible. One cannot have complete emotional tranquility, do everything intellectually. If one tries to fill the fifth dimension of self, he can do it only by the unfulfilled expectation for it, by wishful thinking, by fantasy. When not acknowledged, people fill it in by drugs, sex, alcohol, money, attempts to accumulate self from others, conflict, helplessness, mysticism, causes, power seeking, phony types of religion, activities, etc. It leads to an unreal picture of life governed by what should be fairness, righteousness, what people ought to do, doing good — a dream.” ~excerpt

You can see just by that one paragraph; how many deep emotions are being triggered by the planetary
aspects. In the sense that we are COLLECTIVELY going through this time TOGETHER, we are not alone in the EXPERIENCE OR FEELINGS OR EVEN FEARS.

This flies in such controversy to so much of what is taught, and many believe that are not complete spiritual truths, now known as ‘spiritual bypassing’.

That also triggers many people, who REACT WITHOUT REASON OR CONSIDERATION.  They wear that false spirituality like a cloak that they hope will protect them from what lies hidden in the depths of their own psyche or past. 
This in part, is why so many truly great teachers of wisdom and spirituality, like St. John of the Cross who I brought up in previous posts.  His bittersweet poem now known as, ‘The Dark Night Of The Soul’ is just such a treatise.

How many were ‘following all the signs’ only to find themselves feeling abandoned?  Where did those signs go?

And a sign was given, The Star of Bethlehem on December 21^st.

They lit up the early dusk canopy and filled many telescopes with their lens trained on these two planets, Saturn and Jupiter coming closer together than they have in hundreds of years.

And, as I have stated, we are now in the MIDDLE of the Great USA Fire Eclipse.

The middle obviously means we are not out of this, but like the Solstice that happened on the very same day, the daylight will start to increase, however we still have long dark nights to get through.

St John in traversing his own dark night, came to the realization that GRACE is necessary.  That without GRACE there is not REDEMPTION.

I am also reminded of the ‘terrible angels’ in this moment, which can be so fulfilling an experience, whether it is angels coming through the dimensions to help you, or earth angels who appear on your road, when you need them.

It can also portend the NEED for such angels, healers or teachers on your path.

The saying’ ‘when the student is ready the teacher appears’ is very true.

But as anyone who has experienced the journey of learning different healing modalities can attest (Like Reiki) you can go through your own healing process and even crisis.  I have joked in the past, that this is in part the meaning of the sign in cartoons and fables at the entry to the forest that say: ‘Turn back now!!!’

This is not for the faint of heart.

This year has not been for the faint of heart.

And so, this is a gentle reminder to all of you, to be gentle with yourselves and others, as much as possible.

Yes, we have climbed mountains and overcome obstacles, but just as someone can feel an ‘emptiness’ after attaining a goal they worked so hard to achieve, the saying: ‘the higher they climb the farther they fall’ is also appropriate.

Here, I am shown a Glacier.  What we see is the beautiful peaks, but what lies below the surface, is far greater, and as in the case of the ‘Titanic’, far more dangerous and even deadly.

Interesting that name, Titanic.  The planets that Jupiter/Zeus releases when he meets up with his father Cronus/Saturn are called: ‘The Titans’.
Poseidon/Neptune and Pluto/Hades being two of them.

In this full moon in Cancer, it can be emotionally overwhelming.  So let the tears flow if there is sadness or sorrow now leaking from the vase that is so full.

You don’t have to feel ashamed or broken, but HUMAN.

The fifth verse from St. John:

In an obscure night

Fevered with love's anxiety

(O hapless, happy plight!)

I went, none seeing me

Forth from my house, where all things quiet be...

Do you see the comparison that is so lucid, to the time we are now all living?

Safe distancing, quarantining, isolating?

The thing about Aquarians, they can seem ‘unhuman’ at times, like a computer themselves, or the first android model, they rationalize so much, that they can APPEAR to not have feelings.  That is not true of course, they are often just compartmentalizing to deal with events, or conversely completely NOT DEALING WITH REALITY AT ALL.  As if they are just above this, it can be maddening for those around them that don’t view life through that lens.

They just use that mental AIR and decide it is not WORTH IT. (The square to Aquarius in the FIXED CROSS, is Taurus the Bull, who is all about ‘VALUE AND WHAT IT IS WORTH’.

The sun and moon form a T-Square, (Tau Cross) to Chiron the Wounded Healer who is at 5* Aries.  This puts the pressure on that healing to take place.  Be forewarned that trying to avoid this will make the new moon on January 13^th far more excruciating, since the sun and moon will meet up with lord Hades who will be only 1 degree and 1 day away. 

Currently a 26* Mars in Aries who is conjunct a 23* Eris the Destroyer (Goddess of self-righteousness and justice with the sword) is squaring Pluto/Hades who is at 24*Capricorn, so this can bring up all kinds of unresolved anger issues.  It can be very EXPLOSIVE.  People can feel (especially Cardinal signs; Capricorn, Cancer, Aries and Libra) or those with strong aspects to those ruling planets, signs or houses can feel like they are cornered with nowhere to go.

For some, it can seem as if they never can reach their goals or as stated previously, unfulfilled.  Futile. 

A lot of buried pain and fear being unearthed and exposed.

Another bi-product of spiritual bypassing, people not facing their own inner demons or worse, pretending they don’t’ have any and are perfect, this is someone who is even more terrified than those who actually deal with them and acknowledge the shadow self.  All psychologists learn this lesson early on in their studies.

Pluto/the 8^th house rules psychology.
Neptune/Poseidon at 18* PIsces is also still squaring the head and tail of the dragon, the north node at 19* Gemini (Castor and Pollux) and the South Node at 19* Sagittarius, disgorging all that he has digested, the past and activating ancient karmic lives, which may come visiting like the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Neptune dissolves this hardening square, making it somewhat elusive but also softening the sharper
edges, so it can be dangerous but not always so lethal.
This also brings the appearance of the Vaccines being produced now.

And yet, as we see from what you’ve read, many will still have a lot of fear regarding this issue.

Uranus is getting ready to station direct on January 13^th just before the new moon when he is at 6* Taurus and Mars has saddled up alongside of him at 3* Taurus, so this is going to be another powerful day, all leading up to the Inauguration on January 20^th.
What can we do?

Get one thing out at a time, try to focus on what is immediately in front of you, and break it down into a digestible, manageable process.  Unpack one difficult memory from your past and sit with it, comfort yourself and realize NOONE IS PERFECT.  Even if you don’t think you did your best, know that you did the best you were capable of at the time.  Unresolved issues that can hold you hostage to the past, also can create a barrier to the present.  Saturn wants to solve things and bring things to an end/peak experience and lesson. 

Sitting in the darkness with another can be profoundly disturbing and can provoke the need to ‘solve’ the issue, so someone (friend, relative, etc.) is no longer in pain.  Sometimes that is just not possible and all someone really needs is for someone to come and sit with them in that darkness.  Not to resolve an issue or make it all better.

When people have serious unresolved issues and trauma from the past, they can tend to want to skip over your issues too.  Put that pain away, let’s put on a happy face. 

The real gift to another, is simply to WITNESS THEM.  To see them in their darkness, that shadow and still want to be with them, WITHOUT making them better to help YOU feel more comfortable.

You tell them you accept them AND their darkness.  Their dark past, their wounds, or whatever painful episode they may be enduring in the present moment.  Wisdom tells us we cannot fix everything.

And so, being able to be PRESENT to someone, is the GIFT all by itself.

Take a bath, a shower, smudge yourself, cleanse your aura during and/or after you have experienced any resurfacing of your own issues or another’s, because that can drudge up your past too.
Take a bit of salt and put that in your hand with a bit of water, wipe this over your head and shoulders, down your arms.

Wash your hands up to your elbow’s like a surgeon.

Do a foot soak.  Of course, ArcAncient’s salts will be of optimal assistance for just this purpose.

So too, Light Spirits Mister, Sleep Angel, Stress Relief, Breathing Easy, Inner Glow, Courage and even Sensual Healing.  The moon blend is always helpful for that and the following moon, mother is guiding us always.

If you don’t have any of those, then use plain salt and mix that with Epsom Salt.

Go out and find some Pine Trees and inhale that scent deeply.  Feel that power and strength that comes from the Evergreen!

Light candles or light up the corners of your house/room.

This is in large part, why we bring out coloured lights and decorate this time of the year.

Aren’t they pretty?  (Even this one line, can make some of us who are feeling sensitive burst into tears, so don’t feel inadequate or guilty, it is a PROCESS).

Then kindly reassure yourself, you have gotten through tough times in the past and you will get through this too, even if you don’t feel that hope now.  That is okay too.  If you need to reach out to someone, please do.

Be careful who you reach out to, they may be going through their own difficult patch (Yes, even the most trusted and stalwart among us) or they just may not be capable or the right person to reach out to.  Comfort yourself.

Especially leading up to this powerful full moon and then BEFORE THE NEW MOON.

Make yourself a nice cup of tea.  Watch a good movie.  Draw, paint, find your Neptunian release!  Take a nap and journal your dreams.
This is the pressure that forms DIAMONDS.

Do some small project, even if it is to organize a drawer or even a part of a drawer.  Change the sheets on your bed.  Even that, can be effort enough for some, if they are undergoing a hard time/depression.

BREATHE.

Take good care of yourself.  If you can manage, reach out to others and assist someone in need.

Sit back, feel the power of the mountain and her majesty, and all you’ve managed to get through, until

YOU ARE THE MOUNTAIN HERSELF.

And as my own guru taught me many years ago, see and witness what frightens you, and say: ‘Now I have seen you, and now you can go away’.
The light is on its way.  Hang in there.

A Star Is Born In The Dark Night Of The Soul

The light is upon us now, soon this long dark year of distress and turmoil in so many ways will enter new beginnings.

In 2008, the planet Pluto entered Capricorn the Goat. 

We saw people rising all over the planet in protest of their governments, such as the Arab Spring that erupted in 2010.
Pluto, the planet of death and rebirth, ruler of Scorpio, is also what we call a ‘transpersonal’ planet of EVOLUTION.

Scorpio has three different symbols: The scorpion, snake and the eagle.  Recall in Genesis, the serpent (who is wise, and we must be wise as serpents, gentle as doves.) is commanded to crawl on its belly for all his days. 

        Genesis 3:14בראשית ג׳:י״ד

Then the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you did this, More cursed shall you be Than all cattle And all the wild beasts: On your belly shall you crawl And dirt shall you eat All the days.

I liken this also to our own esophagus.  The lower snake or alimentary canal, of which we digest food, that reminds us that we are in and of this world in this mortal coil and connected to all things.  We have a pandemic of consumerism that has all but usurped our connection to something much deeper.  The living well.  Historically, we have a disease called, ‘consumption’.

Tuberculosis, also known as consumption, is a disease caused by bacteria that usually attacks the lungs, and at the turn of the 20th century, the leading cause of death in the United States.  They cannot BREATHE.

As an astrologer now for 40 years, I have also been anticipating the Pluto return to Pluto in the US chart.  I have written many times about this, and that lead me to researching other upcoming astrological events to better comprehend what that Pluto return might portend.

That query inspired me to the long writing in 2013, sharing major events of the time leading up to the founding of the US.

What other planetary ‘ang les/El’s’ were communicating energetically to each other and transmitting to earth back then and how would that relate to this time?

Once I saw the line up of other significant planets in Capricorn taking place in the beginning of this year, I KNEW that 2020 was going to be a far more difficult path to navigate than any of us have ever experienced collectively and in many lives previous.

I combined that with something I had been guided to do back in 2000, based on other dreams and visions, to use the Major Tarot for all the years starting with 2000 as a zero/0 or the Fool, that meant that this year, was also going to be the ‘Judgment’ card.

We are on one of the Cardinal axis points on the winter solstice, Capricorn the 

Goat.  Cardinal signs portend a change, just as the red cardinal pops out in a winter snow scene, so too does that colour red signify a change you can see and experience.

In this case, the LIGHT is returning, and in two weeks, we will see a daily increase of the sun’s light, expanding day into the night.  The northern part of the earth is tipped toward the sun at 23.5 degrees during the winter solstice.  Interesting that it is colder.
The sun will set a little bit later every day, but it will also rise a little later too.  It won’t be until January 8^th, that the sun begins to rise earlier and also set later.
But let’s get back to the ‘in between’, something in which am fascinated.
To change or alter something in life, you want to go ‘in between’, and anything that is in between adds to this energy.

For as long as we can recall, humans have all celebrated this time and all the Cardinal points, the change of seasons.

The solstice was at 5:02 AM EST on December 21^st, when the sun ingressed (entered) into Capricorn.
Sunrise was at 7:50AM EST.

This is a time of renewal.  A global reset.

Mercury/Hermes is a mere 43 minutes past the sun when he enters Capricorn, this is a ‘combust’ aspect, the powerful sun’s rays overtaking the energy of Mercury and amalgamating.  It is a fusion of those two energies, as they beam into the planet.

Communication issues can emerge, especially as the energy of Capricorn is reignited, and all the conversations and disagreements that Pluto helped to drudge up, the devastation that has taken place as so much of what many of us have taken for granted as being a constant, has been shaken to its core.

Pluto, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Sun, Ceres and the Tail of the Dragon were all lined up in Capricorn on January 12^th while Saturn and Pluto made an exact conjunction to each other.
Saturn is Pan, as I wrote back then, and with Pluto setting the stage for this year, I knew Pandemic, Pandemonium and all things Pan, would likely hijack the world we all had taken for granted, the things we loved, and all we hold dear would be held hostage.
We were forced into our homes like hermits to isolate.  For some, that was not an easy experience, as so many run to and fro and just don’t take the time to turn inward and listen to the Great Spirit who yearns for communion.

Have you found the living well?  Has your slate been wiped clean, so that you can see clearly and rebuild or simply continue to build on your solid rock/foundation?

If ever there was a year of judgement this was that year. 

We also see on that card, the big red X on the flag. 
We are now in the middle of the Great USA Fire eclipse, that will draw and quarter us, the division and hatred being disclosed for all to see, no longer hidden.

No matter what your feelings are about the current US president Trump, you cannot deny that he has taken a wrecking ball and exposed all the cracks in the government and in the frailties of people’s belief’s.

So much of which has been deeply disturbing, with people flung to one side or another, a truly binary equation.

We have been exposed as the divided states, with some states even calling for secession.  United?  Are we?

The Great Experiment, that would shift power from kings and queens, from an elite who rule to leveling the playing field, so that these truths (from the Magna Carta) would be self-evident, that ‘all men were created equal’.

And yet, we find people fighting in the streets.  Not against a king or queen, but against each other. 

Millions of people have lost their jobs, food lines extend for miles.

Parents, largely mothers find themselves not only trying to work from home, but also homeschooling, or helping their children with the new online learning formats inserted into routines and disrupting habits and patterns.

We also see family’s doing things together, eating together, exploring the outdoors together.  Isn’t it interesting how something terrifies and unifies at the same time?

Last weekend, we had a TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, that was the very eye of the USA FIRE ECLPSE PYRAMID. 
As the sun was occluded by a 23* Sagittarius moon, only his CORONA became visible for those who were able to see the eclipse.  President Trump was born on a lunar eclipse.  He was destined to be president during this time. All of this lead to what the Maji followed back in 7BC as astrologers and mystics, the Star of

Bethlehem, the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter which is also taking place on December 21^st of 2020 at 1:20PM EST at 00* Aquarius, when they lined up closer to the earth than they have since 1623 .  This changes the BINARY EQUATION ADDING THE 2, PARTNERSHIPS, WORKING WITH EACH OTHER AND GOING IN BETWEEN WORLDS, HYPER-DIMENSIONS OF SPACE-TIME.

When was the last time they conjoined in Aquarius?  That would be when they met at 23* back in 1405.  When was the last time they met up at 00*?  That would be when they met in Leo at 00* all the way back on July 23rd 769!  That also happens to be an exact opposition to this 00* Aquarian conjunction.

Did you know we had another Great Conjunction back in Dec 5^th, 7BC when they conjoined at 15* PIsces?
So the current conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter at 00* Aquarius is a BIG DEAL, it is all over the news (finally, been forecasting this Great Event for years).

And it cannot come at a moment too soon, if ever there was a dark time on planet earth that needed a sign from God to show us all will be well, this is that time.

The moon and Neptune have also just fused their energies at 18* PIsces, crystalizing and catalyzing the energy of dreams and casting the hypnotic spell that has permeated everything during the Age of PIsces.
Your dreams, visions and prayers are extremely powerful at this time. 

Wise people are using ArcAncient’s Sleep Angel © making sure they can hear the great call in the dark night, to elucidate your soul’s inception, whispering and animating the glowing lantern of your spirit to cast your truth along the walls of your heart so you can see and feel why you came here at this very time.

We have plenty of work to do, to help us navigate through the rest of this window (until April 2024) but take comfort in knowing that we are living in the very times our soul’s have evolved to witness and experience.

Now, comes the building.

Now we take the structure of Saturn, and the jovial expansiveness of Jupiter and forge new worlds in Aquarius.

Riding this wave until we officially enter the Age of Aquarius in 2026, after Neptune leaves her rulership in PIsces.

Yes, this is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

Saturn and Jupiter will both be pushing into square with Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) in Taurus.

That will force us to inventing new ways to live peacefully and less destructively with the earth, our mother ship.

AND with each other.

So, we must set about the task of building bridges, even as we have finally learned to build animal bridges for them to cross SAFELY over highways in their migration, so too must we find the overpass to each other.  Not to dismiss what and how we feel, but to discover WHY anyone feels so hurt, damaged or fearful.  How can we help, rather than destroy the fabric of society?  How can we HEAL?

A smile can go a long way, opening the door, allowing someone into your lane, just a kind word or look, can do wonders for another.  Who knows what battles someone is fighting?

Our soul hungers to be fed, to COMMUNE and helping another build that internal bridge from heart to mind opens that door to the Great Elixir of Life, the LIVING WATERS.

You can watch the conjunction on video from Exeter and this is also an awesome channel for astronomy information/news. Exeter.

Are you ready to give birth to your own Christ self? 

That is what that star portends, not to simply worship a deity, but to become as much like that deity as possible.

How does that happen?  Through Grace and good works.

When you find that still point, and the heart and mind meet, you will be met by grace as it pours into you as you sit inside God’s love.

What is it you would like to see increase as we sail through the universe on our flight ship, the earth?

What shift do you see that is necessary?  What personal shift do you believe you both need to make and are willing to make, to help that shift happen?

Many of the cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and yes, even Capricorn’s or those with powerful planets positioned in these signs, will finally find the road clearing and a light, literally illuminating the path ahead of you.  If not right away, little by little you will see the dark clouds lifting.

00* Aquarius also forms a very nice supportive trine to other air signs, Gemini and Libra and also late degrees of earth signs, Capricorn, Taurus and Virgo.

Mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and PIsces are being forced to make decisions, as the north and south nodes of the moon are sweeping through Gemini and Sag, Sagittarius is trying to swallow all that karma they have built up, good or bad and it will lift and support or feel as though they can’t breathe under a pile of debris, while Gemini’s will feel the hair pin’s click and want to fire away, taking aim at their new, more clarified goals, as long as they too, have not occluded their paths with hubris or duplicity, they will see their sails fill with wind and begin to enjoy some freedoms, with the son literally pouring down on their faces as they ride the waves.

The fixed signs, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius and Taurus will find themselves birthing over and over, new idea’s, stellar insights and for some, especially Taurus, changes that come out of the blue, disrupting their reality that they prefer to be solid and unchanging.  If you are being provoked or prodded, know that the safety you are trying to ensconce yourself in, is being threatened with changes because you are limiting your abilities and your path has become too narrow.  Time to open and let the new light, guide you into a much brighter future than you had planned for yourself. 
Hey, just think, soon we’ll be walking on water, as we finally leave the Age of Pisces behind us.  Follow me, the water’s fine.  Put that crown on your head (Corona) and prepare to share your crowning achievements, just remember it takes HEART, (coronal artery, the crown of the heart) that is beating inside the EARTH. 
The earth herself will also be creaking and moaning as she
literally gushes forth her own blood/lava to light up the nighttime sky in response to the Star’s approach.

You see, even though we have been walking through the valley of darkness, we are
also about to become more illuminated, as the Age of Aquarius, is the 'Angel of Man' on the fixed cross of Ezekiel's Wheel, with  Taurus the Bull, Leo the Lion, Scorpio the Eagle (as the serpent handler who no longer crawls on his belly).

By January 7^th, the sun starts to wake us up a little earlier and we will have sunrise at 7:53AM and sunset at 5:13PM.

Hold on, a just a little bit tighter now baby.

When God began to create heaven and earth—

the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the deep and a wind from God sweeping over the water—

God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.

God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, a first day.

God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the water, that it may separate water from water.”

God made the expanse, and it separated the water which was below the expanse from the water which was above the expanse. And it was so.

God called the expanse Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.

God said, “Let the water below the sky be gathered into one area, that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.

God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of waters He called Seas. And God saw that this was good.

And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: seed-bearing plants, fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so.

The earth brought forth vegetation: seed-bearing plants of every kind, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that this was good.

And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.

God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate day from night; they shall serve as signs for the set times—the days and the years;

and they serve as lights in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth.” And it

was so.

God made the two great lights, the greater light to dominate the day and the lesser light to dominate the night, and the stars.

And God set them in the expanse of the sky to shine upon the earth,

to dominate the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that this was good.

Follow the hope of the star the Magi's followed, believe in the birth of something pure in our world to LIGHT THE WAY.  Anoint yourselves, your newly birthed Christed being with Frankincense and Myrrh or ArcAncient's Ascension or Innter Glow (c) blends.  Make sure you are using ArcAncient's Breathing Easy (c) and Immune Up (c).

Be the change you wish to see in the world, we will need to create new roads and ways in the coming months and years to prove to ourselves and this good sweet EARTH, that we LOVE ONE ANOTHER AND WE CAN BE GOOD CARETAKERS AS WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN CHARGE.  Let's do this.  Let's do this TOGETHER.
