Our Newly Found Inner Flame Lights The Way In The Cancer New Moon

New Moon, solar eclipse, June 21^st, 2020 at 2:41AM, 00*21’ Cancer

Part of Body: Sixth rib

Sabian Symbol: Sailor ready to hoist a new flag to replace an old one.

The sun and moon at 00* Cancer, form an exact inconjunct to Saturn at 00* Aquarius, this means that there is movement forward that is uncomfortable, and that the old must be left behind, though it will create dissonance in the field, trying to hold on to ‘the way it was and always has been’.
That needs to give way to the new, without throwing away beneficial aspects of what the structure does to support the new creation.
Also known as the quincunx, the sun and moon want to start a new chapter as we can see by the Sabian symbol above.  Saturn, the OLD LAW, Lord of the Rings will have to give up or concede to create the balance that is out of order. So much has been lost, the past four years for those of us that are aware, are all about moving forward but NOT losing balance, just as I wrote months ago in; the ‘shift of the balance of powers’.

Lady Luna, upon meeting up with our solar ambassador, steals a little light, occludes him and passes

that torch off to the Head of the Dragon, Rahu as he and his partner, Ketu have just moved out of the Cancer/Capricorn axis and will now wake up Gemini and Sagittarius, the mutable signs, along with Virgo and PIsces.

This is also at 00*, which is POWERFUL SYMBOLIZING CHANGE.

But it is ASLO in a CARDINAL SIGN.

Red, the first colour the eye can see.  It is a touch me colour.

The Cardinal signs signal a change of season, the four cardinal points of the zodiac wheel, spring/Aries, summer/Cancer, fall/Libra, winter/Capricorn, midnight, noon, north, south, east and west.

The moons nodes, Rahu and Ketu shifting from the Capricorn/Cancer axis into Gemini/Sagittarius, is also why, the last full moon in Gemini/Sagittarius, which squared Mars the war god, was also so powerful.  Can you hear the war drums or that horn blowing?  This is CHANGE.  Like it or not, and now that it is out of the cardinal axis, which STARTS THINGS, and lit up that fuse in the RED square of Capricorn, FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN/VOLCANIC ENERGY, now what was seeded will GROW IN THIS NEW MOON.

This new moon is also just a few degrees away from the galactic center which is at 27* Sagittarius. That is an additional sign that this is going to be very powerful, as it taps into the Milky Way, MOTHER of creation and our source.
Cancer, the mother.  Moon Child.

The signs are all around us.

Mercury has stationed Retrograde on June 17^th at 14* 43’ Cancer.  He will travel all the way back to 5* Cancer, when he stations direct on July 12^th.

On June 22^nd, he meets up with Lady Luna while he is still at 14* of Cancer, so this is a touchstone point, for anyone that has planets or points at that degree, of any of the cardinal signs.
This is communications coming back, as Mercury pulls back the curtain and unseals what was ‘Hermetically sealed’ before.
Ever try to open a bag of something that you are supposed to be able to open simply and it turns out to be a struggle?

As Mercury/Hermes peels back the layers, expect old acquaintances and thoughts about the ‘mother’, how to mother, and for those with children to have them come front and center in their lives, possibly bringing up regrets on how they raised their children.

No one is perfect.  None of us are, and we all have our faults.  Please remind yourselves of this, nor

was your own mother perfect, though for some that seems to be an easier relationship than others.

This also creates fertile ground to REBIRTH YOURSELVES.  For those who took the Inner Child Playshop, you might want to listen again.  Go through that ritual again.  Light your candles again.  Get out baby pictures and design your path forward.

When you go in and rescue that inner light, this is so prescient now, as we are living inside the Great USA fire eclipse, that began in August of 2017, the ‘middle’ doorway is December 14^th and that will be another Total Solar Eclipse, visible in the US skies again, where this will be less visible for the US.  That doorway ends in April of 2024.

Now, what is happening around the world?

We have people marching for their freedoms and rights, to say that black lives matter.  I wish they would march in Flint, Michigan, where the water has STILL NOT BEEN MADE SAFE TO DRINK, that supplies much of the area that is predominantly black and poor.

They fixed the water long ago, for Chevy and Ford who complained it was ruining their cars.  Can you imagine?  That was the priority?

This was all set off when Officer Chauvin, put his boot/knee on

Lightening hits the Washington Monument, the signs.

Floyd’s neck and held him for 8:46 seconds.

Now, there are several salient things that jump out, the first of which is of course, the incredibly sad death of George Floyd.  The second thing is that for some reason, the time was MEASURED.  And we know the time of 8 minutes and 46 seconds.  Now, here is an interesting analogy that popped into my head.

Did you know that the first plane, hit the twin towers in NYC on 911 (IXXI) at 8:46 AM?  In Jewish Gematria, one of the meanings of 846 is, “Living God”.

I try to remind myself and others, that God is still very much here and ready to listen, we all can WALK WITH GOD, like Enoch or Ezekiel.  Though it may seem like we are abandoned, we are going through a doorway, as I have stated before, a mass ritual together, our CORONATIONS.

8+4+6= 18, which is the Moon Card in the Tarot.

When we add the 1+8=9 which is the Hermit card.

So, we see the both the moon, that will take a powerful position with this new moon, as she occludes

the sun, and the Hermit, and both of them are luminaries, the moon reflecting the sun and the hermit having done the work, ‘sequestering’ to find his INNER LIGHT.

What is in New York Harbor that is the iconic greeting/welcoming statue to all who enter though New York?  The statue of liberty, and she is holding a torch, for FREEDOM.

Washington’s Farewell address, tells us that the United States, is the Great Experiment.

Indeed.

She is Lady Liberty.  See her own ‘twin towers’ and the twin towers on the Moon card?

All of this, as the moon occludes the sun, (Identity/masculine aspect/patriarchy) and Mercury/Hermes retrograde motion, tells us to follow and respect the MOTHER, NURTURING, WISDOM and the hermit tells us we were to go inside and find our own inner light.  Hopefully, this period will have led people to do just that, rather than simply fight the flow of all this water.

This also serves as a great reminder to those who followed their INTUITION and knew enough to take that class, that was so necessary and the feedback, confirms this in the most wonderful ways, I am eternally grateful for having been inspired to do that workshop and yes, there will be more.

You can still get that workshop, it is still vital to participate even though it was tapping into Gemini, Venus retrograde motion RX 5* Gemini, stationing D 6/25/2020 at 5*Gemini, still has us learning to love our duality and integrating this and our darker/less comfortable aspects.

So, please try and take that class, for those who already paid and took the class, you can do it again, if you recorded that zoom, just remember it was FOR YOU, one ticket, one person’s entry, and if you feel someone else would benefit, send them to the link to purchase, thank you for honouring me in doing so, and honouring anyone you know will benefit.  (many would)

Now, let me remind you that it was officer ‘CHAUVIN’ who took that life.  The truth is, we simply must start to honour women/mothers and that energy on this planet now, rather than the long history of male dominance and its ugly extreme, CHAUVINISM. 

This is also killing this planet, and we all must find a way to integrate this energy, not to create another imbalance by making women more powerful than masculine energy, but the BALANCE, listen to Venus as she also pulls back the curtain and reminds us, we must learn to appreciate all that we are, and with Saturn RX 00* AQ, here too, we are given a ‘do over’, as EL pulls back the curtain and retreats back into his own territory of Capricorn, REVEALING the road we have led, what we have built our world upon and where we can improve.  The earth only has so much, we live in a finite world, but with infinite and eternal spirits/souls.  We are LEARNING TO LIVE IN 3D AS ETERNAL SOUL’S as spiritual beings, all with certain gifts or skills, for just THIS TIME.
Now, for those who have not navigated the ‘dark night of the soul’ or who may need to do this again, but avoid this embrace of the aspects they may not be so comfortable with, and who have not found that true north, inner light to guide them, officer Chauvin represents You.  You still want someone outside of yourself, to lead the way, an authority figure to discipline you.  (This is Saturn in your chart, EL, the Lord of the Rings) and in order to become a true disciple of God, you must learn to individuate and express your own unique identity, NOT THE GROUP MIND, of what the ‘broken system’ has you BREAKING YOURSELF TO IDENTIFY AND FIT IN, but the TRUE YOU.  Otherwise, this is a form of suicide.  You are not here to be anyone else, but YOU.

Embrace all of you.  You are no more sunny and warm all the time, than the earth, the MOTHER is.  This is not a license to behave badly towards others, just an acknowledgment of all that beautiful power, that you are too afraid to use.

It is normal, to be storming and raining sometimes.

The dark night of the soul teaches us to feel lost, without a rudder, without ‘authority’, as if God has abandoned us.  It forces us to find that inner light/calling, out of the dark land, the fertile soil of   (EL/AL-CHEM-Y).

Egypt, Chem/Khem or ‘ALCHEMY’.

Those who were more disgusted and felt the plight of Floyd, and ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, have done more of the work successfully, to integrate your own oppressed aspects.  For some, it is still too fresh and they don’t want to go backward, RETROGRADE, they don’t want to live in that pain, or even think of going through such a terrible time again, they are STILL RUNNING FROM THEIR PAST TOO.

So, we all have work to do.  These are cycles, just like the cycles of the planets, of the sun coming up every day as the earth turns, the seasons, and once this is integrated and acknowledged more fully, this new beginning is welcomed and utilized to its fullest potential.

Just as a new day, can bring peace and a fresh start, even when the previous day may have been a difficult one, and sleep is always such a wonderful healer.

There, God can whisper to us, lead us through our own subconscious, and again the more fully one has done the work, then you also begin to DREAM AWAKE/LUCID.  An unexamined dream is like an unopened letter from God, from our subconscious that is taking dictation from our higher self.

Make sure you have plenty of ArcAncient's Sleep Angel (c) to help you get a good night's sleep AND to help stimulate those dreams.

On December 2, 2019: Jupiter entered Capricorn to join Saturn and Pluto/Hades. When the planets are retrograde, they give us the opportunity to do just this, to review and examine the cross we came to bear, and once we do integrate that and accept, heal and appreciate those dark times, they become the gift to give to the world.

Right now, Jupiter is also RX 25* Capricorn, he has not been retrograde in Capricorn since May 8^th through September of 2008, when he went from 22*Capricorn back through 12* Capricorn.  You can look at your own charts and see how this affected you, and that time frame, to realize the review you are making now, through that same territory.

Do you recall that in October of that year, we had an economic crash, where many people lost their homes?

There were huge bailouts for banks, as the common working man suffered often greatly, many people lost money that has not been recovered.

Well, we could very well see a repeat of this financial crisis during Jupiter’s retrograde now, and we already know that many banks, and huge corporations and CEO’s have been caught with their hands in the till, getting bail-outs again.

It is already more than $50 thousand dollars, for each person in the US.

To help facilitate your own dark night's journey, I suggest any of the works of St. John of the Cross, especially his examination of Psalm 23.

Jupiter will travel back to 17* Capricorn, before he stations direct on September 13^th.   On July 14, He will oppose the sun at 22* Capricorn, while the sun is at 22* of Cancer.  So we can see, that Jupiter is repeating the retrograde in Capricorn in these degrees: 17*-22*.  (This is the clues for your own chart, and then looking at new territory for review, 22*,23*,24* & 25* Capricorn, hopefully you learned the lessons back then, so this will be a time when you can look back and give a sigh of relief, for the changes you integrated/made back then.)

First he will join up with Pluto/Hades again on the 30^th, at 24* and they will both be squaring Eris (strife and discord), which is not a good aspect, this could portend trouble on the world stage, but with Pluto also making a sextile to Neptune at 20* PIsces, this can soften the edges of the cliffs the ship might be tossed upon, music, theatre and art can help, as well as essential oils of course. Hopefully we will find positive ways to transform into the new paradigm we are entering.  (We are transforming, there is NO GOING BACK, OUR WORLD WILL BE FOREVER CHANGED, it is only a matter of our participation to be the change you want to see in the world. Hint: you must get past the binary thinking we have been reduced to, creating new neuronal pathways and implementing those changes in actual, physical ways/structures. )

Jupiter does not station direct until September 12, 2020: at 17°24’ Capricorn, eluding his meet up with Saturn, until the end of the year.

This new moon is also leading up to the next full moon, lunar eclipse on July 5^th, when the sun and the moon meet up at 13* Cancer.  Readers of this blog know, I have been talking about this period for an awfully long time.

Again, watch Putin emerge in a big way on the world stage, with his own sun at 13* Libra which squares the US natal sun at 13* Cancer, he is destined to have a hand in changing the US, and he swore to do so, long ago after Perestroika, the Afghan war, in which he has never forgiven or forgot, the US hand supplying arms against Russia.

Now, in this cycle of the Great US Eclipse, remember this fire pyramid (and I believe this has a lot to do with the pyramids on the dollar) this again, tells us what we all must do at this pivotal time.  PYRE A MID, FIRE IN THE MIDDLE.

Many of us believe that all darkness is an unholy darkness.  St. John of the Cross introduced us to the gift of a holy darkness, one that is given to some, as they delve deeper into their journey of faith, however, once you have done that deep diving, your soul evolves and you are strengthened, YOU BECOME THE LIBERTY OF SAFE HARBOUR for others.  Your vision expands when you no longer dismiss who you truly are and climb back up that mountain with your newly found gifts, through this self-examination. You realize that which turns to dust takes time, money, energy that could help you on your journey.

The work of St. John of the Cross has been described as “purgative contemplation,” (Purgatory) in which God specifically darkens a person’s will, intellect, and senses in order to test the authenticity of one’s love for God.

The spiritual novice may still be enjoying the ‘signs’ God gives us, the universe provides and when they evaporate along that path up the mountain, become fearful, this is when the Dark Night begins.
As far as how long that time might take, (we are all in a version of this through 2024) it is up to God, as St. John said: ‘we don’t know how long God intends or feels it is necessary to endure this crucible of darkness’. (cross/crux of the matter, Mars provided this cross starting in the last full moon cycle.)

 
Another great psychologist who has myriads of work on this, disintegration and

And then re-integration is Dobrowski.

The theory of positive disintegration (TPD) by Kazimierz Dąbrowski is a theory of personality development. Unlike mainstream psychology, Dąbrowski's theoretical framework views psychological tension and anxiety as necessary for growth.

I have been using cymatics as an example of this ‘breaking down’ since 1995, when I first started sharing the work I developed in one of my own ‘dark nights of the soul’ experiences, living in the barn without running water.

At that time, there was a visitor that blessed my experience when she stayed at the manor, and she asked me to share what was happening to me.

Dr. Staphanie, works with gifted children, and it was my good fortune to have been gifted this insightful woman, who turned me on to Dobrowski.

It was a magical, and yet frightening time for me in many ways.

Some of which I have shared via my blog and with some of you.
In cymatics, as the tone rises in pitch, the formations that are created, via sand, or some form of liquid, etc., breaks down and reforms again in a more intricate fashion.  Sacred geometric formations form living displays of just what can be happening, as we ourselves, go through positive disintegration and develop even more sacred doorways into our own higher self.

This is just such a time.

We have the ability, to get past ‘either/or’ scenario’s and create new dimensional doorways, as we fire our own new neuronal pathways and see both sides and find new ways to harmonize the two.  That is old coding.  (Go back and review all the new and full moon's with all the binary coding, and then adding the 2... literally a countdown.)

00* means we can create new codes and new paths, just as we did with Mars and Saturn at 00*

Aquarius and will again at the end of the year when Jupiter and Saturn meet up at 00* Aquarius too.

This is not to say, that all is lost, just that if you are still trying to live in the ‘old system’, and have not found new purpose and a life that is less dependent on ‘things that turn to dust. (a false sense of self) This period is sure to make you more aware in part, that you need to find security in the wilderness, as we create new worlds out of the destruction and chaos of the old worlds/systems/governments that are crumbling.  (This is represented by all the planets transiting through Capricorn, especially Pluto/Hades, and the aspects to them, along with the triggering aspects with the inner planets, new and full moon cycles.  The additional clue, is that Pluto/Hades is returning to its natal position in the US chart in 2022, and I have written plenty about that too.)  
To this we add that we are also in the ending of a longer cycle, the end of the Age of PIsces and entering the Age of Aquarius in 2026, though we certainly feel the shifts already at the foothills of this New Age.

Have your candles ready to light on Saturday, plant something that will bloom into tomorrow with your new dreams and visions.

We are boldly going where we have not gone before.

You Are Everything, Scorpio Full Moon Illuminates The Soul

Lady Luna waxes into her fullness at 6:45 AM EDT on May 7th of the year 2020.  She will be fully pregnant at17*20’ of Scorpio when she stands across her paramour the sun who will be at 7*20’ of Taurus the Bull.

Mercury who is flying alongside the sun has just crossed his path reporting to him of all his findings that traveler’s whispered to him at the crossroads and he is now at 20*23’ of Taurus.
That is the essence of the Scorpio moon, divulging secrets, revealing what has been buried, as Scorpio’s ruler is Pluto who rules the underworld.

If you have been following along then you know just how much Pluto/Hades un-earthing has been and blowing up on the world stage as he has NUKED everything in his path in Capricorn/Pan, the Goat.

Pandemic, Pandemonium, Pandora’s Box, Panorama, Panacea, Panoply: NOUN, a complete or impressive collection of things. "a deliciously inventive panoply of insults" synonyms: array · range · collection and this: a full suit of armor, Knights in panoply were ready for battle. b: ceremonial attire. The nobles were in panoply for the coronation. 2: something forming a protective covering; ‘faces dim in a panoply of smoke.’ — William Baucke
Is not panoply a delicious word?  All the words are wonderful descriptors for the times we are now living.

And so, with this full moon, she discloses so much of what has been buried.  Scorpio also rules sexual reproduction and this may bring up the past assaults and we see some of the detritus of this Corona/Crown/Coronation/Coronary virus has magnified abuse of POWER in so many ways, in homes between partners, lovers and on the world stage we see the fight over power, and CONTROL.  FEAR.  No human has the right over another, not to control, not to force, and certainly not to abuse anyone.
You may also find yourself releasing the build up of highly-charged emotions running up to and after this full moon, the tears may surge like a river of darkness, trying to wash away all the hurt and pain that is ‘overflowing’ the banks of our hearts, the walls of our memories breached.

“How could we drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What were we doing when we unchained this earth from its sun?” ~Nietzsche

And so, we go on, we light our candles to stand back the dark pall, and the moon shining is our reminder that even in the darkest of nights, we are given a light to find our way home.

And find that light we must.

We do not have another option, we must go inside, find the INTEGRAL HUMAN we may have lost?  What/who do you love? Husband, wife, partner, child, dog, cat, neighbor, boss, friend?

Let that energy you feel for those you love, rekindle the lost self and let that help you find your way home now, to that INNER LIGHT AND LIFE.

Do we all know this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6StORhP7n2c

YOU

ARE EVERYTHING

Let that resonate.

Pluto just went retrograde on April 26^th at 24*50’ of Capricorn, so this is time to review that power, intensity, secrets, thoughts about sex, wills, health care, taxes.

The sun is starting to form a nice trine to Pluto, Jupiter and then Saturn, so that will give us a little help, to put a little light on matters and identify issues.

Mercury is too, and this will give us the words to say, speaking truth to power and he is also squaring Mars so this could get harsh or even physical, be careful.

Luckily, Venus is also forming a lovely trine to Mars her paramour too, so this kind of energy can make for nice heat in the boudoir. And help to calm down that square from Mercury to Mars.  Better to put that passion into something that will help you both feel good if possible.
^th at 21*50’ Gemini, so we will definitely be reviewing past loves, where we went wrong and what we did right.  It is also money, but a lot more about communications about money, or buying and selling. 
Good time to review why you need to love yourself, first.  Self-talk, write yourself a letter, even a past you.

Venus is also in shadow, she will station retrograde on May 13

Jupiter is still conjunct Pluto, that is a lot of expansion on this whole Plutonian concept that I listed above.
CAUTION.

Hang in there, what a ride we are on, eh?
Well, we are heading into an eclipse cycle next month, so...yeah...things are going to start heating up.  Hey, I am just the messenger!  PRAY, MEDITATE, YOGA, REIKI, WALK IN NATURE, do what you got to do!

The New Moon Finding Balance Between the War of the Sexes

Our lovely Luna is in perfect harmony as she nuzzles up to her solar paramour at 15* of Libra in the new moon at 11:46 PM EDT on October 8^th, 2018. The duo also forms a hard square to Pluto/Hades who is at 18* of Capricorn may put the somber realization of just how much there is to be done, to achieve the transformation that is necessary.

Many may be feeling as though they have hit a wall of resistance right now, and deep inside the cold nagging fear that something ominous is floating on the horizon, even as the sun and moon do their best to find peaceful resolutions and moments of calm.

The storm?  While Jupiter/Zeus has drug up a lot of painful memories as he transits Scorpio, Venus/Aphrodite now Retrograde in Scorpio is forming a challenging square to Mars who is at 9* Aquarius, another fixed sign…this will have people digging in on different sides of the issues…and the classical, ‘male vs female’ dynamic stimulated into full charge with the energy of the new moon.

Uranus is opposing Mercury/Hermes who is at 28* of Libra, also trying to find the balance before his exit, but ultimately realizing there needs to be a new form of communication.  We have to reach a higher level of awareness to deal with the detritus of the past.

As we near the full moon, we will find the sun has cozied up to Venus at 01* and 04* Scorpio respectively, as the sun has now found his way to illuminate all that dark mess that creeped out, that magnifying love EL-ement opposes a 0*Uranus now electrifying the moon who is at 1* Taurus, and EL is supporting both via sextile and trine, so what we have here, is some reconciliation and medium ground being found, that hopefully has indeed found that virgin ground of shared values, pain and healing…together.

That of course, comes AFTER the blow ups that could spill out onto the merry making, as Neptune trines Venus on this new moon, from her perch at 14* PIsces.

Careful what you are energizing now, it is going to become much bigger in the future screen of your life, as Venus/Aphrodite/Inanna makes her decent, she is retrograde and does not begin to station direct on November 15th when she has travelled all the way back into Libra, where she will rule again at 25*, coming just weeks after Jupiter ingresses into Sagittarius, where he also rules.  Justice may be on its way after all.

Aphrodite Backing Into Old EL Pushing Open the Galactic Center

Tomorrow, March 30, Jupiter will form the second-last square to Pluto and on April 4^th, and the moon in cancer will activate the Cardinal Cross again.

These energies can be tense, and with Venus backing into that square to Saturn/EL again, (who is sitting on the Galactic Center) these are MAJOR TRANSITS ON THE WORLD STAGE.

We must do the best we can, to keep this in our mind and hearts at all times.  Some people have already rebirthed in the process, their light is shining brighter than ever now.  Some are still in the birth canal being washed and rocked.  Some are right up on the cross, and some are just dragging that cross as best they can.

The Galactic Center is a very powerful opening. 

Now, let’s add what we have told you many times now about Saturn/EL.

EL the Lord of the Rings, is the planet of restriction.  He rules Saturn’s Day, Saturday.  He is the God of the Old Testament and one of the ancient God’s of Egypt, along with Sin. 
Remember our definition?  The Eternal Sound of God is the measurement of resistance?  Resist he does, until the opening appears, a slight twinkling light in the distance at first…perhaps it is an idea that caught your heart and lit you up.  Perhaps it was your knowing we are eternal beings in our human vessels, and on earth, there is resistance?

Resistance, just like in weight training, makes your muscles stronger and more developed, able to lift
It is okay to fall with your cross, rest if you must, but GET BACK UP.
This is a major OPPORTUNITY TO TAP INTO ALSO.

more weight in time. 

Venus/Aphrodite, what we love, and as ruler of the 2^nd and 7^th houses, our possessions and our partners.  “I Have” and “I Balance”…if your 2^nd house is accented with a heavy hand, you may only see yourself as ‘what you have’…if it is an afflicted 7^th house, than you may only see yourself through your partner.

Saturn/EL, is the Capricorn goat that climbs to the pinnacle of success, ruling governments and those with authority.

Now, he is tasked with the responsibility of the ‘stuff’ that Venus may have acquired in her pursuit of loving beautiful things that turn to dust.

Venus, is now the ‘morning star’…she is heralding the sun rising…or ‘the light bringer’.  She is also in a mutual reception with Mars at 14* of Taurus, while she is still in Aries and don’t forget, she is retrograde, which can make her energy a little harder to access, but in the mutual reception, she and Mars are sharing that energy and accessing each other through the astrological daisy chain.
On April 3^rd, Venus will enter PIsces where she will be much softer and more receptive.  Now, she is a bit agitated, but this can also add heat to the bedroom, if you happen to be in a loving relationship already.

The square might activate the pressure to ‘produce’ or have you questioning whether what you have, is worth all the hard work to maintain…conversely, she may ask if you are working hard enough.

On April 4^th, when that cardinal cross is activated with the moon in Cancer, all Cardinal Signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn will once again, feel the pressure to ‘DO SOMETHING’…since that is what Cardinal signs do, they activate, they start, they are harbingers of what is to come as they sit on the Cardinal Points, and open up every new season.

The New Year, officially begins with the Aries new moon for me, it is the ruler of the first house and “I AM”.
This is also an explosive astrological chart, expect many things to go off on the world stage…and we are still in the process of REVEALATIONS.

Just when you thought you had seen it all, and had your eyes peeled open to see more truth about what is happening, EVEN MORE WILL BE EXPOSED.

So, get your plans ready, set your FOUNDATION STONE.
What are you building?  If you fill in the blank, what would it be: “I AM______”?

Why do you want to ‘have’ those possessions?  How big of a house, do you really need?

The moon in Cancer, will ask us about family values.
What does family mean to you?  What does country mean to you?

What is balance on the planet?  Are you in balance?  How much do you work, and how much do you play?

Are you constantly obsessing about what you have? 

Old EL, is not usually happy in spring, since he has to allow Persephone back up to the surface to help her mother wake up the earth in the northern hemisphere and perfume our world while she paints the landscape with delightful colours and scents. These astrological configurations will have you learning a lot more about yourself and others.

Communications can also start to combust too, Mercury, already in his shadow will station retrograde, on April 9^th at 4* of Taurus the Bull.  (2^nd house of possessions/possessed) again.
YOU are stronger than you think.  Time, is a wonderful healer and this too shall pass.

Ramming Up For Spring in the Aries New Moon

New moon, March 27, 2017 10:57 PM EDT

As our golden orb heralds the dawn rising earlier in the northern hemisphere now, we leave behind the dark vestiges of a deep and troubling winter for many.  The world stage seems far from peaceful and as rancorous as I can recall in my adult life.

The sun and moon, will ‘occult’ one another for their monthly conjunctivo at 7* of Aries the Ram.

Here in the first decanate of Aries they ram up to move spring forward in the wearing of the green.

Venus/Aphrodite has just flown by as she is Retrograde at 3* Aries and is pushing back into a square with Saturn/EL now at 27* Sagittarius, which is bang on the Galactic Center, opening the vault of the heavens, infusing our world with a potency that sizzles and crackles in the ethers, waiting to be harnessed or annihilate the unwitting whose path this live wire happens upon.  (In this case, it is in your own personal chart and on the world stage, as we see the powerful games being lobbed back and forth.)

With Venus Retrograde, she can either bring back what was meant to be yours, or move the carrot just

out of reach, depending on your circumstances.  Venus rules what we have, possessions and what we value.  In Aries, she is randy and can be reckless, but retrograde can reign in your resources, or may bring investment opportunities that have come along before.  Either way, you may find yourself questioning who you love and why, what you value or how you invest.

I would like to tell you that our markets and economy should move along swimmingly, and HOPEFULLY they will, after all, who wants a crashing stock market? 

Now, she asks us if we have invested in what we love or to put that another way, do we love our investments?

I liken the stock market to gambling in Vegas, because you have no control over what is being done with your investment, or the outcome, unless you are a major shareholder and have some small say at a stock meeting.

Mercury will Station Retrograde at 4* of Taurus on April 9^th. And almost a week later on April 15^th, Venus will station direct at 26* of PIsces, which she will enter on April 4^th.  So, adding this into the equation, we must consider that Taurus is ruled by Venus and we are right back into the 2^nd house of VALUES, EARNING A BASIC LIVING/WORK AND POSSESSIONS.

For some reason, the universe just didn’t think we would be moving in the right direction and set our astrological clock to remind us who we are.

In this sense, it is as though we are being continuously made to repeat a grade, until we are actually ready to graduate.  This can create a volatile stock market or planet volatility, as the planets pull and push one another and activate these world squares.  Every time LaLuna hits one of these Cardinal Cross points, she is triggering the stress, and in particular, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 3/22 and 3/23 when she meets up with Pluto in Capricorn immediately after hanging out with old EL hanging on the Galactic Center, she is gathering stress, as she moves over these points, some of that stress may be released.
Adding to the volatility of our markets, etc.
We have Jupiter still retrograde at 19* Libra, he is the planet of optimism, good fortune, expansion and joy.  He too, is pulled back on his energy until June 8^th when he will finally Station Direct at 13* Libra.  Expect the gusher to start moving quickly when he moves forward…

Make sure you are taking the steps you can, to ground and center.  Do NOT let anxiousness keep you from getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep during this most challenging time for many on the planet.

Pluto is still the handle at 19* Capricorn, on the T-square to Uranus at 23* Aries conjunct Mercury/Hermes at 25* Aries, in opposition to Jupiter Rx at 19* Libra. 

We have a whole herd of stallions all reigned in, waiting for us to allow them to gallop down the track, but the gate seems to keep shutting!

Oh, are they getting restless!

I hope to get a video together to better explain just what these ‘SQUARES’ SYMBOLISE.

We can see that not only do we need the SQUARE to build, it forms a ‘CROSS’, (See our recent article on “The Stations of the Cross” and check which house is being ‘pressured’ in your own personal chart.) which as we have shared many times now, also represents the EL-ements; earth, air, fire and water, the building blocks of life.  Which El-ement might be out of balance in your own life?

They can ‘block you in, or make you feel, boxed in’ depending again on your own situations and your personal chart.

Mars at 12* Taurus (emphasizing that second house of possessions again) sextile Neptune will try to energize the moral high ground but Neptune, so large and in charge in PIsces at 12* has all those ‘hooks’, but it is also the Fisher King who holds the grail, and what do we really ever have, without first the wounding?  This is how you see the face of Gd.  The universe submerges us and until we learn to breathe underwater, to realize what is ‘the illusion’…as Jesus walked ON THE WATER, SHOWING US HE WAS ABOVE THE ILLUSION, not getting ‘hooked into the material world’ that tempts us and turns to dust.

How much moral high ground becomes proselytizing without the path behind the talk as proof?  How can you show the way, without finding your own way out of the labyrinth?  If you are always skipping along the top of the water, and have not been fully ‘submerged’, then you are only capable of superficial understanding, and have not truly found your own light, that casts the shadows on the walls of Plato’s Cave.

So much will continue to be revealed on the world stage, buckle up…we wanted ‘EN-Light-en-MENT’….which turns on the light to see what we could not see before.  All sages get involved at some level politically, they spoke out, they took action because they finally ‘see what is happening’.

Some of the new age teaching is the complete opposite of ‘seeing’ and teaches ignorance, or ‘to pretend you don’t see’…I have even heard people say, ‘well what can I do anyway?’…well that is not empowerment, but disempowerment.  That is the opposite of enlightenment. 

If you hurt, cry out…cry out for help.  A well-meaning friend, thought that would ‘magnify the hurt’ by telling the universe when we hurt.  What?

All sages tell us to put our beliefs to the test.  Test it against logic…if you were in the woods, and fell, would you not cry out?  Of course you would, or no one would come to your rescue!

I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN BELLY DOWN AND CRIED OUT, and THAT IS EXACTLY WHEN HELP CAME, WHEN ANGELS SHOWED UP IN MY LIFE.

I have learned that the universe knows our voice/ our vibration and crying out is a clarion call into the universe that is BRILLIANT AND INTELLIGENT, and you cannot trick the universe by pretending.  If you don’t cry out, that means you don’t have faith in a loving, brilliant universe.  Don’t try to trick the universe.

Be REAL.  These times can be challenging to say the least, but at least we are almost through these world squares.  Get a buddy to keep each other comforted.  Hopefully one that loves you enough to let you ‘be where you are’ and if you are in pain, tell the person.  You don’t always have to learn, if you are in great pain, sometimes all we can do is be present and love someone, let them cry out, let them scream out.  WITNESS THEM.
It is sometimes, very inappropriate to try to teach someone a lesson, while they are in pain, because all they can do, is ‘get through that pain’.  It can even be cruel, please try and keep this in mind, as we move through this time.

If you are in that kind of pain, tell the person, you only want a soft place to land, and you don’t have it in you, to learn a lesson in that great pain.  It is called ‘compassion’.

Hang on, we are bubbling along the stream and sometimes those bubbles go underwater, but you will ‘emerge’ new and with a new perspective and level of kindness, you may have to learn the hard way.

We are all in this together….

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.

HERBS Additionally recommended by Dr. James Duke, formerly a scientist working with the USDA, living with indigenous people all over the world and studying what they use to heal naturally.  They took back the plant material and de-constituated it to find the medicinal properties that they would then try to replicate as best as they can in many instances, the root source for so much of our drugs today.
Turmeric or its major active ingredient curcumin are active against CVB3, FHI, FIPV, Flu, HBV, HCV, Herpes, HIV, Japanese encephalitis, papilloma, parainfluenza; Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Vesicular Stomatitis Virus.
That is directly from James Duke’s website.  Dr. Duke also recommends Milk thistle, which is also a good tonic for the liver, and we want that working in top order.
We also use: Echinacea, and another great herbalist, Rosemary Gladstar designed, Traditional Medicinal’s, so for a half-way decent herbal tea from your local grocery store, try her Echinacea tea.
Increase Garlic and onion intake.
Take a good Vitamin C (not just ascorbic acid) at least 1,000 mg.
Ginger will also add some heat to the system/digestion keeping you running smother than sluggish.
Dr. Duke also recommends the following: Bilberry, Celery seed (think chicken soup), Evening primrose, Ginkgo, Hawthorn, Horse chestnut, Kava kava, Saw palmetto, and St. John's wort
