Astro­log­i­cal Obser­va­tions April 2017

Today I will con­sid­er a Astro­log­i­cal review of cur­rent con­di­tions, and tran­sits to charts in the news. Among the charts we will look at are the USA, Don­ald Trump, Vladimir Putin along with charts of oth­er nations and world lead­ers. Lis­ten­ers may call in and pose a ques­tion regard­ing the top­ic, or about their own charts (please have your birth infor­ma­tion ready if you wish to do this).

If you are not able to lis­ten live, all shows will be avail­able on demand. I will also be adding to the library by cre­at­ing short­er clips of commentary.

In addi­tion to these hour-long broad­casts, I intend to host short­er live shows for a top­ic or event.

If you wish to sug­gest a sub­ject or top­ic for a future show, please email or call me as I would be hap­py to hear from you.

Hap­py Astro­log­i­cal New Year!

The Les­son of Pres­ence — Mov­ing through the Eter­nal Now

What are you going to do now; how do you begin; where do you begin? How should you start the day, the week, the year? Because this is most impor­tant, it is fate­ful­ly impor­tant to you.

The first thoughts you think, the first feel­ings you feel, the first actions you take, they flow forth from you, and they will both mold you and give form to what you cre­ate. By these first steps, “you make what you make of you”.

Each and every step you take will set in motion a chain of cau­sa­tion that echoes down through time and space. Though every sin­gle step mat­ters, it is the first one that sets the pat­tern for what is to fol­low. So, con­sid­er wise­ly what are you going to do; who are you going to become?

Today you begin the Astro­log­i­cal New Year in the “Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones”, the fun­da­men­tal Spir­i­tu­al Hier­ar­chy of Life you know as the Zodi­ac. Today you start the next jour­ney of you in Aries.

In your life, as in all things, first things come first…This is the Les­son of Aries, this is your les­son of “Pres­ence”. It is here, right now in Aries, it is always here that your past and your future are brought togeth­er in the only place you are free to be the cre­ator, here in the Eter­nal Now.

You must remem­ber this, that you are in fact a unique com­bi­na­tion of all twelve ener­gy-forms of the Zodi­ac. Some part of you is Aries, some oth­er part Tau­rus and even Gem­i­ni is part of you too. This is because these Sacred Twelve form the Spir­it-Sub­stance of Cre­ation. From the small­est infin­i­tes­i­mal on up to the grand­est stel­lar won­ders of Galax­ies and beyond, each part and par­ti­cle of Cre­ation is at its core a radi­ant par­ti­cle of the One Spir­it whose “Cen­ter is Every­where and whose Cir­cum­fer­ence is Nowhere”.

In life after life and through all the moments in any life, you move through Space-Time in this “vehi­cle” of you: your body, feel­ings, thoughts and spir­it. In each moment, you bring your­self into some “space”, and that space changes, and so do you. You turn a cor­ner and encounter something/someone; you enter a room and are faced with the Ener­gy-Forms that were already present. And in the very next instant, you must deter­mine how you will be, what you will be, and who you will become.

Aries is the begin­ning, it is you aware of you. It is by Aries that you take the first step. It is by Aries that you are self-aware and new­ly awak­ened to and so inspired by the pow­er and joy of new begin­nings. But before you leap into the next moment or the new day, before you move out you must under­stand you…before you go “out” you must look within.

How you meet the moment before you is formed by your lev­el of self-aware­ness, which is most cer­tain­ly revealed by what informs your “Pres­ence”, your Moti­va­tions and Inten­tions. What is in your head and heart, what do you “Desire”? Because if you wish to know “where” and “how” you might be going, you must look with­in to under­stand the “why” you are com­ing from.

As you move through space-time, as you enter a “new-space”, you must imme­di­ate­ly ascer­tain what you should bring to bear to meet this moment well. If the sit­u­a­tion is already too ener­gized, then you need to bring your calm­ing self. And if the sit­u­a­tion is lack­ing in ener­gy, then you must bring more live­li­ness to bear.

If you lean in too much, you will be over­whelm­ing; and if you hold back over­much you will be under­whelm­ing. But it you can bring to bear in each moment that per­fect bal­ance of you that fits, then you will be wel­com­ing and wel­comed, and you will be well-met indeed.

For each encounter with the Now, there is a hier­ar­chy of con­sid­er­a­tions that should be formed into your pres­ence. It will often mat­ter how you are attired. It will very much mat­ter how you hold your­self, as your demeanor or dis­po­si­tion will be crit­i­cal to your recep­tion. It will mat­ter how well you speak, and how well you listen.

But all of this and more will flow from your aware­ness; all of this comes from your inte­gral com­bi­na­tion of Right-Inten­tion, Right-Think­ing, and Right-Feel­ing. It is by this that you are tru­ly you in Right-Action. Your spir­i­tu­al aware­ness, your lev­el of inten­tion, will deter­mine how you will be and what you will next become.

If you under­stand the “Why” of you, then you will know that you are one of many ones whose jour­ney is the Song of Spir­it. If you can tru­ly under­stand that each of you is pre­cious, then you will know that you are equal­ly pre­cious for one anoth­er too. Then you will under­stand this “Why”; you will know that the truth of you is Love. Then you will stand in the Eter­nal Now, the place of Free­dom and Truth, and when you do this you will tru­ly shine.

You are here to be who and what you are, and only you will make it so. If you have lis­tened to your soul’s true nature, you will bring ever increas­ing Light and Love into every moment met in the Eter­nal Now. You will take your next step in your self-becom­ing as you:

Lead with Kindness
Act with Courage
And love one anoth­er as you love yourself.

Because this is who you are; this is who we are.
You are one of the ones of the One.
You are here because of Love,
You are you to be this Love.

Fol­low the Wis­dom of the Ages,
It is writ­ten there in your heart.
Know Thy­self; Love One Another,
And you will be you as you,
Live by Love in the Eter­nal Now.

The Sto­ry of Love

Your Avatar of Val­ue is turn­ing around; your plan­et of love is going ret­ro­grade once again.

Of course, what is real­ly hap­pen­ing is that, like on a cir­cu­lar race track, Venus is pass­ing Earth on its “inside track”. Where­as Mer­cury will turn ret­ro­grade every 3.8 months for about 21 days, Venus turns ret­ro­grade every 19.2 months for about 40 days. (The last two times it turned were July 2015 and Decem­ber 2013, and the next time will be in Octo­ber 2018).

The gift of Venus ret­ro­grade is to take you on a jour­ney with­in your­self so that you may recon­sid­er your expe­ri­ence of val­ue. You are offered a won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to refresh-renew-restore your rela­tion­ship to beau­ty in the world, and to lov­ing­ly reaf­firm your affec­tions for one anoth­er. But this is all because the prin­ci­ple gift of Venus ret­ro­grade is to bring you back to the fun­da­men­tal truth that that the true foun­da­tion-source of val­ue is to be found in Spir­it, in that spark of the divine shin­ing there in all that sur­rounds you and equal­ly with­in you. It is this, this divine love, that is source of the immea­sur­able val­ue with­in your­self and your world too.

Venus retrograde’s gift will be mod­u­lat­ed by what­ev­er Sign Venus is mov­ing through. In this turn­ing, Venus moves from Aries back into Pisces, and so there will real­ly be two dis­tinct offer­ings of Venus for you this time.

While Venus loops back through Aries you are offered an oppor­tu­ni­ty to re-con­sid­er how well you have formed your nature or val­ue into your “per­sona”, into your “pres­ence”. Aries rules the way in which you meet and greet your world, it is your bear­ing, your demeanor and your atti­tude. All these ways you are you, all of it is ulti­mate­ly formed by what lies beneath, there in your heart of hearts, all made by your love. How you love (and what you love) flows out­ward to be revealed in the ways in which you move through time and space.

The fun­da­men­tal ques­tion of Venus in Aries is this: Do you under­stand that first you must love your­self. Or more exact­ly, do you under­stand that you are loved, and that you are always loved by your own high­er self, who is your ever-present beloved in life after life?

If you can move a lit­tle clos­er to this, then this will be reflect­ed in how you hold and con­duct your­self as you move through your world and how you treat one anoth­er. And how will you know?

Do you move with grace and ease? Do you encounter oth­ers with a lov­ing warmth and gra­cious­ness? Do you shine with what is with­in you, a lov­ing char­ac­ter and kind­ly pres­ence? Or, does your coun­te­nance reveal a soul that is more trou­bled, more inse­cure, in lack­ing true healthy self-love?

For you should know this by now, it is how you meet the world, and how you treat one anoth­er, it is by this that you sow the seeds of kar­ma, and of what will come back to you one day. The real­i­ty you encounter tomor­row you made today, by how you held your­self and by how you treat­ed one anoth­er. You and only you can make a bet­ter you.

Then on April 2^nd, Venus will ret­ro­grade back into Pisces for her sec­ond gift of spir­it. Here again the par­tic­u­lar expe­ri­ence of Venus-val­ue will be focused through the prin­ci­pal sen­si­bil­i­ty that Pisces encom­pass­es. As much as the expe­ri­ence of Aries is about your­self, about know­ing that the source of love must first to be found and held with­in your­self, and that it comes from your High­er Self lov­ing you…the expe­ri­ence of Pisces is the per­fect com­ple­ment to this.

For it is here in Pisces that you under­stand that the entire­ty of Cre­ation, from the small­est forms up to the grand­est stel­lar expans­es, you expe­ri­ence the feel­ing-know­ing that all of this is because of Love. You see that this Cre­ation is Love, and that it is resplen­dent with the Light of Love.

You feel exalt­ed and hum­bled by a Liv­ing Faith, know­ing that in the end there is but One Spir­it hold­ing one and all togeth­er, and that behind and through­out every part of Cre­ation, there is the One from whom all came, and whose true Nature is Pure Love.

And from this you under­stand that as much as you are here to love your­self, you are here to love one anoth­er too…for there is no dif­fer­ence. If you tru­ly under­stand, and know why and how you love your­self, then you will inevitably turn around and feel and live this uncon­di­tion­al love towards one anoth­er, and for all of Cre­ation too.

True Self-Love begets Self­less Love; the many return to the One.

The First Sign and the Last Sign of the Zodi­ac are tru­ly the Alpha and Omega of Life. You begin your jour­ney of self-dis­cov­ery, of being a one among many oth­er ones.

And you end your jour­ney being one of many who are held togeth­er by the One.

But through it all, from Sign to Sign and from Life to Life, you are a pre­cious spark in this Lumi­nous Jour­ney of Spirit.

You are in this great­est sto­ry ever told, the sto­ry of Love.
