Aphrodite Kissing Deep Wounds as the Pink Moon Reflects

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By then, it might be too late.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You will find that the process was worth it.

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

Holding The Hot and Leaden handles of Hades and EL

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

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

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

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

Riding the Cosmic Bull

Full Moon October 27, 2015 @ 8:05AM

Under a big fat harvest moon riding the bull at 3*44’, lady luna stood opposed to our ambassador, who is now flying through Scorpio seas after recently opposing Uranus, the planet of change and brilliance.

Can’t seem to get it all done almost?  So much now flowing in your life?  Well, you wanted things to ‘break free’?  Hang on…

Venus/Aphrodite at 17* Virgo, has been rising in the morning with Jupiter/Zeus at 15*, hot on her tails, but all she sees is her paramour, Ares so close just ahead at 20*….and the threesome is cooking up some good mojo in Virgin territory, making us all want to clean up and organize, with the energy we need to actually accomplish our tasks (unlike the beginning of summer, when nothing could get started) and Poseidon at 7* is forming a nice little sextile to laLuna, so we are ‘shedding’ now….good time to start to ask for what you want to ‘rid yourself of’ in life as the moon begins to wane…some of us will feel as though we accomplished much, excited for the future.

So many new things have opened up in our lives, whether that took the form of death at first (Pluto/Hades) along with the grim reaper, Saturn/EL…who was a DARK LORD in Scorpio.  So, as our hearts filled up, with the pain, with the loss, with the struggle, breaking…and getting up and starting all over again, in what often may have felt like a tangled up mudslide.  Getting nowhere fast, but communications taking us just as fast, into complete hurt and confusion.

Well, as Uranus stands opposed to Mercury/Hermes now, it may feel some frustration bubble up here and there, and at times, absolutely overwhelming again, especially for Virgo’s and PIsces…and of course, all planets being aspected by the Cardinal Cross, that forms over and over…we have to have deaths…we have to rise again…WE ARE WALKING OFF GOLGATHA, THROUGH THE DEATH’S, THROUGH THE CAVE, TO BE REBORN AGAIN, AS HADES HOLDS US LONG

ENOUGH, FOR US TO CHERISH LIFE ON THIS GOOD, SWEET EARTH.

Venus/Aphrodite in the Virgin and amorous as she dances with Ares…and Jupiter/Zeus beaming in the background (taking credit as usual) but magnifying the whole passionate embrace…they stand against Chiron/Parsifal, the ‘key’ to the chart as we have explained for many years now.  See, he wants to ‘perceive the all’, but that only happens through the wounding…what wounds have been brought up for you to heal?

Where do you take charge in life?  Uranus at 17* of Aries the Ram, is lightening on any ivory tower that you have in your life, he wants you to break free and FEEL THAT WOUND...LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT YOU LOVE.  That is your doorway.  Your portal…Chiron is a centaur…a mystical teacher.

As Saturn/EL moves into Sagittarius the Centaur/Archer…now at 3*, he wants us to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for all that dark matter that was brought up to the surface, like a bad BP oil spill that forms a reflection of your dark self.  We all have that side.

Who loved you even with that dark matter exposed?  So much of what we are going through, is excavating us on such a deep level, we need the people who REALLY LOVE US…those who are still with you even when you are not the ‘perfect’ person, spouse, partner, lover, child, parent, friend, teacher, student, boss, employee, whatever that is, someone has come along and exposed you, and you them…now as Mercury/Hermes speeds along and away from his opposition to Uranus, communication will clear up and you should feel lighter now that the boil has been lanced.

Because, we are not, none of us are ~‘perfect’.  Some people, have been hiding in their ‘shells’ for so long, trying to be ‘perfect’ with the fear, that when the ugly slips out, we will be abandoned, and to be sure, there is a lot of teaching and trite little sayings about a silly little love, that is actually non-existent.  The kind where everyone is always nice and nothing goes wrong…maybe in a cave on another planet.  Or in a movie, like the ‘Stepford Wives’…but real love, the kind that connects the heart…doesn’t abandon.

It cannot…because it is eternal.

Nonetheless, we are having our ‘small deaths’ and big deaths…and some things will last, and some things will just not, because the tether is just not strong enough to handle the hurricane forces that are increasing…in our world, both on the planet, and in a spiritual way, we see it playing out all around us.

I hope this full moon, finds you counting your blessings, with those you love around you, knowing what you truly ‘VALUE’.

I VALUE ALL OF YOU.

We are also feeling the opening of the big door, All ‘Saint’ Day…All Hallow’s Eve, get out pictures of the loved ones who have passed, and light some candles, think fond thoughts and get in touch with them.  I like to pray, so that is also what I will be doing.

Happy Full Moon!

Sangreal

Fire in The Hole! Full Moon in Sagittarius

Just after the wolves howl at midnight, we will have a moon full of honey in Sagittarius at 22*.  It will take place on Friday the 13^th at 12:13 AM.  So, we have the power of the master number 22 in the helm of the magical 13.  In Sagittarius, LaLuna is reminding us to aim straight and set our goals high, but she is also opposing (by wide margin) a very crafty Mercury/Hermes retrograde at 2* of Cancer.  Now Hermes will retrograde all the way back to 24* of Gemini before he stations direct on July 1^st. at 8:45AM. He won’t quite travel back far enough to exactly oppose this degree, but with only a 2* orb you can be darn sure his presence and effect will be made known.

 The moon only barely forms a trine to URanus, so aside from her opposition to the Sun in the dual land of Gemini the twins, and a sextile to the head of the dragon, she is only on speaking terms to father sun right now.  She will be a beautiful golden umber colour as she flirts across the sky’s with her paramour.  She wants the truth, but with the sun deciding in the moment which of the twins he will be, what is and what shall never be may be as elusive as a hall of mirrors.

 The tension is all out there though, and energy (Mars hanging out in Libra at 12* pushing into that 13* space and forming that old T-square to URanus and Pluto/Hades again) might be a bit hard to come by, though confusion, cross communications, and mix-ups are bountiful right now. 
So try and hold your tongue if you can, since this is where men resort to behaving like little boys and old patterns and habits are just too tempting to deny.  They just want a little fun?

For some real fun though, we look at Saturn/EL/Lord of the Rings holding steady in exact opposition to Venus/Aphrodite right now.  So, pattern and structure, the old man and the sea (the sea of the Scorpion Kings) is standing belligerently across the starry seas to what we love, and she is in the earthy and lusty sign of Taurus, so gals, you may want that little extra bobble that you have attached to the thought of love, but come back to earth…not likely to happen.

Venus/Aphrodite is HOME in Taurus, being her natural ruler, so she will definitely want to dress her up and make her look pretty, but it will be on a budget for most of us.  The price? ~ A little sexual healing probably, so get it while you can! 

You can follow this link to find out more about the scientific aspects of the Honey Moon: http://www.weather.com/news/science/space/friday-13th-june-2014-full-moon-honey-moon-20140611?cm_ven=FB_JB_61204_5

Anyway, while Saturn is hanging out in Scorpio, still in mutual reception to Pluto/Hades in Capricorn, we can expect the strangest of strange to almost lift its head both in our personal lives and on the world strange.  It really may be all we can handle of the bizarre anyway.  Sexual proclivities that most of us didn’t even know about growing up in what seems a lot like Mayberry now, back in the late 60’s and 70’s.  Pluto is divulging or regurgitating, or both, the tangled up and dark and Saturn/EL wants to act all important and in charge, so more control will be given as the answer.

The other obvious thing that jumps out; is the will she or won’t she scenario.  (YOU can insert he if you like, makes no difference)  Do I want to stay or go and if I am staying, than I want to COMMIT!  What will that mean?  If you are in a relationship, I strongly suggest you make a re-commitment ceremony and invest your energies into making things work.  Otherwise, ole Mercury is likely to play some ticks on you both and get you spinning and guessing and perhaps not the best suspicions might be entertained.  They may be true, but are you really ready to take that chance and regret your hasty decisions and thoughts later?

The other big thing in the heavens right now, is Neptune/Poseidon (dreams, art, music, illusions, magic) went retrograde on June 9^th at 7* of PIsces, in a bit of a wide trine to Mercury/Hermes (communication, cars, short trips/crossroads/siblings) we do have a bit of a dream world to tap into, just make sure you aren’t building castles in the sand, for this won’t last.  It is a good time to make music, to dream, and to paint.  She will draw out the artist you left behind and whisper down the hallways beckoning you to come hither, as she flirts with your heart you will soon find yourself floating on the moonbeams bright and shiny from this full honey moon with a lofty vision lifting you higher and higher.

Now, even though this Mercury retrograde began in Cancer, he will soon be returning to his rulership in Gemini on June 16^th, and with the recent new moon in Gemini, now full in Sagittarius, Gemini’s will really fell this but so will the effects be doubly strong.  So, cross your T’s and dot your I’s, and listen, repeat, rinse, I mean…listen.  As Mercury loops into the eye of Cancer and makes his way back, old friends, lovers and a bit of trouble may find its way back to you…so will karmic experiences and Déjà Vu’s…old lovers?  Watch for them, you are bound to see them at obvious and some of the oddest places.

What do you have to learn from them?  What lesson has not found home and settled itself into the very depths of your being?  All that wondering and curiosity (a major attribute of Gemini may have you going back and forth, not sure of what you really want or think.  It is a good time to laugh at yourself.

And if you are feeling the weight of Saturn’s lead right now, rest if you mist for a bit, but try and push forward even just that little bit, don’t let him get the best of you, and remember, this too shall pass.  The Sagittarius Full moon might lift and lighten your load with a little bit of Saggies notorious humour.

All is not quiet on the Western front.

Come to the Fire Class if you haven’t signed up yet, we are tapping into the Holy Spirit and breathing fire.  There be dragons in those hills.  http://www.arcancient.com/Upcoming-Events.html                                                                  

Soon to come, my post on Helichrysum.  For now, make sure you have plenty of ArcAncient Sleep Angel to be sure to get enough sleep and tap into those powerful dreams that are forecasting from the great beyond.

Dante's Inferno Cracking Open the Depths

At 12:11PM EST the sun seemingly slows to a ‘standstill’ and we arrive at the golden gates of in-between as sun shines for the least amount of hours and we are covered in darkness, yet in many parts, the sparkling snow will blanket the ground and the stars will appear to have fallen to the ground.

Yes, we have arrived at the time of the Winter Solstice, which officially marks the entrance to winter, but in a few days, we shall see the return of the sun…finally!  Enough of the dark days already!

The sun has reached its southern-most position and will start its course northward in the early degrees of Capricorn, the goat.  He is starting his trek towards an alignment with Pluto/Hades and will meet up with the Lord of the underworld on New Year’s Day, which also happens to be the New Moon at 5:15AM.

But on his way towards his rendezvous with La Luna and Hades at first 10* then 11*(with Pluto/Hades) he has some powerful points that will open the depths of the universe; already the turning spiral of stars has been buzzing with powerful if not crushing energy, especially as the moon went into her full light in Gemini at 25* on December 17^th.

For many, it may have felt as though we were navigating Dante’s Inferno, with powerful emotions being triggered as Mars (drive/passions/motivation/energy) motored forward at 4* of Libra, beginning his T-square  as he squared Pluto (death/sex/taxes)and began his opposition to Uranus (Lord of the sky/community/genius/aha moments/sudden changes).  With the duplicitous and frenetic energy of Gemini, the moon becomes scattered, emotions are like a windstorm, and opposing the sun in jocular Sagittarius, with the cardinal cross looming, the sense of dread, of doom and of frustration emerges.  Sag the Centaur wants freedom to roam and move forward.

With Uranus newly gone direct with the new moon too, it is hard to keep things in your hands, as they seemingly fly out and crash onto the floor, papers, pens, whatever it is, wants to be heard and irritate as the static energy bursts open, computers, cell phones all things technological do their darndest to go haywire and not run smoothly.

Gemini rules children, and Mercury the messenger guarding the crossroads of temptation can be a very alluring trickster, with all the bells and whistles tempting the child in us to ‘break free’ of restrictions and climb down the stairway all bedazzled and sweetly scented for the descent into the inferno, though they are completely unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.

Yes, Dante’s Inferno has all but cracked open, and we still have yet to hit the harder aspects forming…because Jupiter has reversed his course, his Sagittarian realms of joy and abundance are being sucked into the Grand Cardinal Cross which we will surely feel on Christmas day, even though the degrees are a bit wide, Mars/Ares will be pairing up with LaLuna in Libra bringing the energy of the square to Jupiter/Zeus as they squeeze the heavens together.  For anyone who has planets in these Cardinal signs, especially in the degrees between 8-13*, you will surely feel the weight of these great changes even more acutely.  A change is going to come, and we haven't even hit the next big square in April, let alone the culmination in 2015, so set your sails with the right winds NOW!

So, Cerberus may seem as just a playful ‘two-headed’ (as this theme is rampant with Gemini/Janus) dog when the children approach the lair, but returning is another story altogether.  Who can cross the river Styx?  Saint Barbara will be called upon many times during these days by those who are wise, and Saint Christopher would be a wise bet too, for if you have ventured into the time of no time, of the dark swallows, best you have the tools of the Arc with you, or a lament with the sweetness of Hermes lyre playing in the background, might be more like the wales of the gallows, tormented by the ravaging wolves returning hungry and cold.  One can only hope you have fed them, lest your cries be hope rising from the depths.  We can expect many to transition now, and this is said with the heaviest of hearts, but we cannot always be laughing on the sunny side of the street.
There will be sickness, we will see the first of what will become more and more predominant as we fight back the ravages of technology gone wrong on our planet, and deal with the doorways that have been opened through genetic manipulation, and the real cost of nuclear power (ruled by Pluto/Hades) as it casts its pall across the blue ball of Gaia, will we wake up in time?

And where is Jupiter/Zeus retrograde?  He is in Cancer which is ruled by the moon, so this square is potent, and the grand cross in Cardinal signs of: Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Aries are like flint-stones ready to start fires, instigate and they will burn down the house that Cancer rules if you don’t watch the tempers or fuel the flames with ‘the spirits’ of sorts.

Questions such as ‘what is home’ and being as it is the wanderlust Jupiter/Zeus, ‘where is home’ will also be tugging at the heart-strings.

 ~Because if we aren’t grounded and rested, we won’t have the energy necessary to deal with the onslaught that keeps coming and coming.  And we will need plenty of Breathing Easy © to help us keep breathing and fight off the nasty bugs floating around, that will surely overtake us if we let our systems run down too far, trying to keep up with the hectic pace that is spinning in all directions.

Now, the new moon on January 1, 2014 at 5:15AM has the royal wedding of the sun and la Luna hitching their lights to Hades with Mercury the Messenger (one of the few God’s that Hades will entertain) all having a party in the cave of the underworld, we can expect some depraved thoughts and worse to swallow and entice us, should we ‘break’ our own moral compass and step out of the safety zone of the heart.  Expect some of the most unusual stories to emerge on the big screen, as the theme of what is perverted permeates the celluloid world and begs us to have the conversation about right and wrong and what is LOVE?

With Venus/Aphrodite leading the line- up, as if she is running away, being chased by daemons at 26* of Capricorn, what Pandemonium may ensue or Plutocratic blanket will cover us, perhaps sympathy for Persephone as Hades drags her down for company will lap over our darkened spirits and heart, as our own hearts break under pressure and we all commiserate, there but for the grace of God go I.

Saturn/El, the Lord of the Rings, (structure/hierarchy/establishment) now at 20* of Scorpio, is no longer ready to assist Hades, as their mutual reception has widened we will no longer feel the firm ground beneath us, and floor may seem as it has fallen out from under our feet.  Watch your step, your knees as they buckle under the immense weight of the watery depths of Scorpio, look to the firm anchor you may have created (hopefully) in the home, as only Jupiter/Zeus will support his disloyal father in a trine, yet even he is moving away, as he seems to move backward, stepping deeper into the crab’s clutches, and not wanting to let go of the treasures he has buried there.

And to think, all of this is only the foothills of what is to come, when the end of Janus turning her head like Medusa on January 27^th, we can only hope and pray that we are on the right side when she turns her head towards us…

The energy is like pop rocks inside, bursting and buzzing with both anticipation and trepidation…something very big is about to happen…Fasten your seatbelts!

Better take some nice baths with ArcAncient’s ‘Inner Glow’ for the heart:

Happy HolyDays.

 "The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." John 1:5

 

 

The Seal of Sol o Mon Squaring the Heart or Divine Timing?

The Great Sol and Mon Sun and Moon Seal

We are fast approaching the great Seal in our Heavens, of Solomon.

Two interlaced triangles, one pointing up which represents the male or solar principle and the other pointing downward, which represents the lunar or female principle.  This is the marriage of the pairs of opposites and is also the symbol for the heart chakra.

This is also known as a grand sextile, which is an extremely rare, six-pointed star or hexagram, that forms in the heavens when six planets align, each approximately sixty degrees apart.

What does this mean for us? 

Well, get out your ArcAncient ‘Inner Glow’ and get into your heart center.  Don’t worry, you won’t be late, the energy is active for at least three days.  You can thread the needle.  Anoint your heart chakra, meditate and pray.  Light your candle, for the heart, for the ‘Lion-Hearted’ which means to be brave-hearted and open up your compassionate glow, that heart-center that connects to the Great Divine and into the Bridal Chamber, where you will marry the pairs of opposites, connecting with Jesus (Saviour) and Mary Magdalene.

Place your hands together in prayer position at your heart chakra, feel the connection.

Open your arms and legs into the ‘Vitruvian Man’ position, as you connect Above and below and call upon your angels. 

This is also a Sun in Leo square to moon in Taurus, so an earthy moon dances with her lion-hearted lover and the square ignites the passion…the passion of the Christ.

This can bring difficult positions from people, see if you can take a breath, step back and look at things from a detached perspective, and how can you come to a mutual agreement, where is the center point?  With this earth and water trine, we have the two feminine energies supporting communication, save for some possible snafu’s between Mercury/Hermes (communication and travel) and Uranus (genius, sudden and unexpected events and also the octave above Mercury)which wants us to reach a higher calling, a new approach.  Suggest some possible alternatives and ask for the same.

Saturn (El, Lord of the rings and time) is opposing the Moon in Taurus (possessions, what you have and DESIRE) So, you may feel as though the hierarchical older male is against your feminine needs and wants what you have  but does not want to give in return.  Again, take a step back and see if the view can be altered with a new perspective and possible alternative outcome.

This may bring increased hostility between different countries, especially with the Mars (energy and action God of War and impulsivity) conjunct magnanimous Jupiter (joy/jove, abundance, laughter, children, animals, higher learning and the magnifier of other planets he touches to activate) in a tight square to Uranus (which is the handle on the T-square) and opposing Pluto (death and rebirth, secrets, sex magic) who is also still in mutual reception to Saturn/El, so the secrets will come out in unexpected ways.

Black Moon Lilith is finishing up in Gemini at 29* so all that duplicity that we have been experiencing, twin flames and everything going in so many directions, having to do things twice to get things done right, (literally the do over, after Mercury went direct finally!) is making last call…

What is it you really want?  What makes you come alive?

What is your heart song?  Can you hear it, do you even listen?

Now is the time.

Hear that faint drum beating?  It is you, your ancestry, your lives and life you have lived to make you who you are, and YOU ARE READY.

SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY!
