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.

The activities of glutathione-dependent enzymes, catalase and superoxide dismutase in striatum, were REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY BY LESIONING.

·         Excerpt from article; Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 2006 Jan; 83;1 ~Ahmad M, Yousuf S, Khan MB, Hoda MN, Ahmad AS, Ansari MA, Ishrat T, Agrawal AK, Islam F.

That is one article, there are more including references to the obvious implications in other neuronal degenerative diseases.  Alzheimer’s, ADD, ADHD, etc., all show benefit through this one essential oil.

Spikenard is also for ‘wounds that will not heal’, be they physical, spiritual, emotional or mental.  Native Americans have been using it for ages and they believe it can cure insanity. ~You get the idea?

Now, we can add to this, that the Re-‘Member’ roll on © is also quite the little helper for stomach distress and Heartburn.

We have many, many, testimonials from our clients and distributors, students who have used this to help them get through college, etc. and all great results for all uses.

Simply roll on temples, back of neck and wrist pulse points, rub into skin and inhale.

For heartburn or stomach issues, roll on abdomen and rub in, if it is for stomach distress, follow the large intestinal tract in rubbing into skin.  Add hot cloth and cover with towel for more of an effect.

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.
 

 

** Always spot test, and consult with Physician if condition warrants or worsens.  We are not physicians and are not prescribing, simply sharing what we have had good results with for minor situations.  Use of therapeutic grade oils and blends should not be substituted for physicians care.

 

*** Cautions: These blends and Spikenard Essential Oil should be avoided during pregnancy.

Mary Magdalene Feast Day July 22


July 22, Feast Day of Mary Magdalene 7/22

Today is the day we honour you Mary, Tower of the Flock.

Every day I am guided by you, and as you are the patron saint of aromatherapy, alchemist to the alchemist (the bane Marie/’double boiler’ is named after you).  You, known as the ‘Beloved’ to Jesus/Jeshua and as the ‘apostle to the apostle’s, yet still so few truly have the eyes to see why.

First, they called you the ‘sinner’….the woman whom Jesus cast ‘seven’ devils out of.

Though you are mentioned in all four gospels in the anointing of Jesus, which makes Him the Christed One, still you are relegated to the sidelines and your sacred teachings lost through the ages.

But the oil itself, ‘nard’ oil, is revelatory.  Nard, or spikenard, Latin Name, Nardostachys Jatamansi, is for ‘wounds that will not heal’…..it is a sedative also known as ‘False Valerian Root’ and to break open a whole jar and pour it onto Jesus, would certainly sedate Him at the very least.

“ At that supper, then, Mary received the glorious encomium, "she hath wrought a good work upon Me . . . in pouring this ointment upon My body she hath done it for My burial . . . wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached . . . that also which she hath done shall be told for a memory of her."

The rhizome root connects intricately under the earth and spreads. 

So it is you, above all, who knew the ALL, THE WAY; knew and walked with the Master and taught the Greatest of All, ‘Love one another’.  For you never left His side, while the others ran to save themselves, you remained steadfast, loyal and true.  You never stopped ‘kissing Him’….while they others never kissed him once.  You were there to see Him rise from the grave, ‘Nole me tangere’….’Do not cling to me woman’…..and it was you who told the others He is Risen….Only you hold the egg in your hand and in Faith….watch the egg turn red proving He is Risen.

So what rises?

Why would an egg turn red?

How do you have such an expensive ointment as spikenard that would feed someone for two years?

I am grateful that you have imparted so many secrets to me, and ‘revealed’ so many deeper truths that I seek.  I am grateful for grace, and for the love that you teach this flawed human.

Holy of Holies.

This is often the last day the sun is in Virgo, the virgin……the anoretic degree of Virgo as the sun comes back like a Lion.

Thank you for your lessons, your blessings and your vigilant guidance and Love, the Greatest of these.

To my great friend and teacher, Marcella, you left this world on Magdalene’s Feast Day, how appropriate for you, who loved the mysteries and taught me much.
