Saturn Trine Neptune & Venus Opposition Pluto (June 11, 2013)

2013-Grand-Trine-Venus,-Saturn-Neptune-and-Opposition-to-Pluto

May
your Dreams come True…

For Love and the Sacred Space of You!

I wrote about this beau­ti­ful align­ment in the Gen­er­al
Fore­cast for 2013
 where I
dis­cussed the Grand Trine in Water of Jupiter, Sat­urn and Neptune…and here is
what I wrote of Sat­urn and Nep­tune mak­ing their first of three exact alignments
in Octo­ber 2012:

Sat­urn Trine Nep­tune (Octo­ber 10,
2012)

Real­i­ty
meets Dreaming…and it is Beautiful!

Okay…this
is anoth­er one of those “big­ger” alignments…Saturn is lin­ing up
with Nep­tune in a won­der­ful trine today and again in June and July of
2013…but what you need to know is…what does this mean?

The
Ruler of the Formed, Sat­urn, greets and is graced by the Foun­tain-source of all
forms, the Ruler of the Form­less, Neptune…and you are remind­ed once again
about this awe­some pow­er, your pow­er of Dreaming-Making-Reality.

Sat­urn
rules Real­i­ty, what you and every­one else has so far brought into being on
Earth. Sat­urn’s draw­ing down into sub­stance is the ful­fill­ment of your dreams,
shaped into real­i­ty-forms. Yet these very forms at the same time necessarily
lim­it your pure poten­tial by bind­ing it into some def­i­nite (finite) Thing.

Your
Ideas, Hopes and Dreams on this plane, in order to be real, become formed into
Mat­ter and by doing so they become circumscribed…and there­fore sub­ject to the
Laws of Time and Cycles…for any and every­thing here is a com­pos­ite or
com­pound, and must even­tu­al­ly pass away.

The
les­son of this dance of life, of Sat­urn and Nep­tune, is that you must continually
Imag­ine anew. You must ever Dream, again and again, to keep form­ing and
re-form­ing your world and yourself…This is the sub­stance of your spiral
jour­ney as Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it, of you becom­ing you through countless
unfold­ing forms of self-realization.

Nep­tune
rules your Dream­ing and Imag­i­na­tion, it is the rep­re­sen­ta­tive for the Spiritual
source for this awe­some pow­er, the pow­er to unfold from with­in a new world and
a new you. You encounter the world before you, your present cir­cum­stances. You
dare to dream, you imag­ine and believe that there could be a dif­fer­ent world, a
bet­ter world…and so it begins to take form…And you have been doing
this…you have done this…many, many, many times…

How
well you cre­ate, how much of your dream will be, will depend upon you and those
with whom you dream. But with­in any cycling of Saturn/Neptune there are moments
of greater flow and ease, of when it seems “just right”, and there
are moments that present a greater challenge.

This
cur­rent cycle of Saturn/Neptune began in 1989, and an old world was end­ing and
new world was being imagined…Then in 2006–2007, Sat­urn and Nep­tune were
oppo­site to one anoth­er and a reck­on­ing was at hand for how well the dream had
been executed…or not…

Today
you are at a dif­fer­ent moment of the cycle, not a begin­ning nor a
reckoning…Now you find your­self at one of those moments where it does seem
pos­si­ble to bring togeth­er the Dream and the Real. You can take the reins of
your own life and ride that slip­stream between Dream­ing and Making…

You
are the Dream­er, Dream­ing Real­i­ty all around you…

You
can Imag­ine a bet­ter world…

And
when you share your dreams with one another…

When
you believe in your­self, and sup­port each other…

You
will join to build a New Earth…Together.

 

This ever-unfold­ing Grand Trine in Water, anchored and formed
prin­ci­pal­ly by Sat­urn to Nep­tune, com­plet­ed now by Mer­cury and Venus, is being
fur­ther mod­u­lat­ed with­in the Kite Pat­tern of June
7
and June
8

Today
you expe­ri­ence the sec­ond exact Trine of Sat­urn and Nep­tune, (which will be
exact one more time in July). This time it is brought into greater focus
through Venus adding to the Grand Trine and form­ing the Kite by oppo­si­tion to
Plu­to, (along with Mer­cury who is still there too)…well one thing is for
sure, things are cer­tain­ly busy!

For as much as Mer­cury aligned with Plu­to helped you to focus
upon the Thoughts behind your Roots and your Destiny…and helped you to bet­ter under­stand how your Will­ful­ly focused Pow­er of Mind is one of the prin­ci­ple means by which you make your Dreams into the New Reality…Today it is Venus with Plu­to who will help you to look more deeply into the nature of the Value
that Forms those Roots and so Informs your Destiny. 

For what lies at the core
of you is a Spark of the Divine, which you will often expe­ri­ence as that
won­drous feel­ing of warm famil­iar­i­ty, of Inner Attune­ment, of being Cen­tered and at Peace…of Being Home, of Being Loved. This is the Love of the Beloved for you…and your ador­ing love that
flows back in return. This is the Source of Love, and it is yours and abides with­in you, as it also
sur­rounds you too…For this is the Force that fills, binds and holds the whole of
this Cos­mos in the One Great Life…This is the seed and source with­in you, it is your Origin…and for this very rea­son it also holds the key and points the way to your des­tiny too…

This
is the Gift of Venus in Can­cer for you, to feel this source and to be nurtured
by this ever-last­ing love of the Divine for all of the Divine Sparks, who long ago
began their jour­ney through the spaces of Space…All of these Sparks are what make…Everything…They are the Forces
and Mat­ters of this Uni­verse, and they are of course you too. 

But
each and every Spark of the Divine must exist with­in its own Holy Space…For
it is in and through this Space that it can unfold and become, as each Consciousness
must have its own space to exer­cise its Pow­er of Will and Self-Becoming…Yet
as each Spark is Sacred so is each and every Space Sacred too, and so each Consciousness
must learn to form and pre­serve their own Space, while Hon­or­ing, Respecting…by Lov­ing the Sacred Space of every oth­er too…This is the Jour­ney of Self-Becom­ing that you are on.

This
is the mes­sage of Venus to Plu­to and Plu­to to Venus, your love of Self is
Inte­gral to the Love you will have for and receive from any Oth­er, just as your keep­ing Sacred the Space of You is Inte­gral to the you Keep­ing Sacred all the Spaces that sur­round you too…

For the Great Illu­sion is Separation…

The GREAT TRUTH

Is that there is but One Life…

There is but One Love…

And you are IT

And it is YOU.

Now, togeth­er, in Love and Sacred Space…

May your Dreams come True!

Mercury Square Uranus (June 8, 2013)

2013-Grand-Trine-Preview-June-Mercury-Square

These are Wheels with­in Wheels indeed…

The Dance of the Plan­ets becomes even
more com­plex as Mer­cury forms anoth­er aspect with­in this already intricate
res­o­nance pat­tern that con­tin­ues from Fri­day,
which is when Her­mes made the oppo­si­tion to Plu­to, and Venus brought her Gifts
to add to the ener­gies formed by the Grand Trine of Mer­cury, Sat­urn and
Neptune.

Now anoth­er inflec­tion is added to this
mes­sage from your Planetaries…and this comes from the oth­er great Avatar of
Trans­for­ma­tion, Lord Uranus, who through his ongo­ing, mul­ti-year grand align­ment with Plu­to is helping
to bring about this Cathar­sis of Con­scious­ness sweep­ing across the planet.

As I have not­ed for sev­er­al years now,
the changes welling up from with­in you, and sweep­ing and swirling around you in
the world, these are trans­for­ma­tion­al ener­gies that have not been experienced
for over 200 years! Of course this is a very spe­cial time for you, for you are
here!…But it is truer today than before, that you walk in Age that is ending,
you are priv­i­leged to see this Dawn­ing of a New Age…

May you live not merely
in an Inter­est­ing Time, May you live in times that Mat­ter, May you help to
bring about a bet­ter New World!

This Mod­u­la­tion of Mer­cury brings an
enhance­ment to the mes­sage of “The Kite” from Fri­day. Uranus and
Plu­to are joined in a great Dance of Meta­mor­pho­sis where each brings to bear
the neces­si­ty of trans­for­ma­tion as to how you approach your expe­ri­ence of
Free­dom (Uranus) and Sacred Space (Plu­to).

So it was on Fri­day as Mer­cury aligned with Plu­to, and the
mes­sage affirmed the inte­gral rela­tion­ship between your Ori­gins (Mer­cury in
Can­cer) and Des­tiny (Plu­to in Capri­corn), between your Authen­tic­i­ty of Feelings
and the Ful­fill­ment of your Responsibilities.

Mer­cury to Uranus now brings to bear the
equal­ly nec­es­sary under­stand­ing that in order for you to cre­ate and secure for
your­self the Sacred Space of You, which is and will always be inte­gral­ly bound
to the hon­or you show to the Sacred Spaces of oth­ers (Plu­to), that you must
ever strive to free your mind so as to more deeply appre­ci­ate and acknowledge
your own unique self as a Spark of the Divine, and that this too will equally
depend upon you expe­ri­enc­ing the Truth of the unique Divin­i­ty of each and every
sin­gle spark of the Divine.

You must ever strive for a Freer Mind
and a Sacred Space to hold your Divin­i­ty, but to do this you must equally
strive to help oth­ers to Free their Minds and to secure their Sacred Spaces too!

For you are all ones of the One, and
what you do to the least of you…you also do to the One!

This is the Law, this is Truth.

The Sacred Three shall always guide you:

A Free Mind (Uranus), Uncon­di­tion­al Love
(Nep­tune) and a Will that is Cen­tered with­in Sacred Space (Pluto)…From these three your Self-Becom­ing is Found­ed and Sus­tained, for you have a Great Destiny…

But your path­way to the Stars, that is your choice as to when and how you will make your way, for some it is steep and short, oth­ers will take a longer way…but in the end…

This is your jour­ney, from the beginning
to the Greater Mystery…

To reach the cross­ing point for the Light…

Free your Mind, Love one anoth­er and Build Sacred Spaces…

May it be so.

New Moon in Gemini (June 8, 2013)

Gemini-New-Moon

Your Medi­a­trix has slipped between you
and your Star, the Sun will set and the Night that falls is Ful­ly Dark…

And it is in this Dark­ness of the spaces
of Space, the Full­ness that is the Plero­ma, you see your Cos­mos now revealed as it is, Filled with the Light Divine, you see so much more of where you abide…and
so you know that you make your way upon this Earth graced by this
Greater Real­i­ty, bathed and blessed in this Uni­verse of Light…

The Greater Glo­ry of the Cos­mos stands
ful­ly revealed in these moments where you must wait for the next release of
Solar/Lunar seeds…You pause as a cycle ends and a new one com­mences for you
and your Plan­e­tary Companions…Yet ever around you, through­out the now revealed
greater vast­ness of Space, you can see that you are nev­er alone, for you travel
with a grand Host, a Lumi­nous Com­pa­ny of Stars…

But in this moment for you here on
Earth, you must attend to what is com­ing. For the Sun and Moon will Kiss again
and a New Cycle of Self-Becom­ing will begin for you. Twelve times a year you
receive this gift, the promise of a new­er, bet­ter way of being. Each time the
mes­sage is for your next step in your jour­ney of under­stand­ing, of who you are,
of why you are here…and where your des­tiny lies.

This Seed is of Gem­i­ni and a wel­come gift
indeed. For you have need of this, to be inspired, guid­ed and shown the Knowing
Way to yourself…For this is one of your most pre­cious gifts, your Pow­er of Manas,
your won­drous­ly curi­ous, self-reflective
Con­scious­ness that you received as a “Gift of the Gods” long, long
ago…

The New Moon of Gem­i­ni inspires you to
engage your capac­i­ty to look at your life, to approach all of your challenges
and oppor­tu­ni­ties, to remem­ber that you must always view what­ev­er is before you
as if through a many-faceted jew­el, where each facet rep­re­sents a dif­fer­ent way
of per­ceiv­ing and under­stand­ing what is before you.

You need to real­ize and become aware that
you will ordi­nar­i­ly view your life through per­haps a few of these facets,
usu­al­ly favor­ing even one way of view­ing over all…But by doing this, it is as
if you were to shine a very focused and bright light upon your world, and so it
would seem or appear to be very, very clear to you…

But you need to under­stand that you are
also, by view­ing through this one facet, by shin­ing this nar­row-cast­ed light you
are also the very cre­ator of deep, deep shadows…You see what you see, but you
can­not or will not see these shad­ows and what is hid­den by them…and so your
under­stand­ing is tru­ly lim­it­ed and illusionary.

Then it must fol­low that what­ev­er action
you will take to engage with your world, to make the most of your opportunities
and over­come your chal­lenges, these efforts and your results will also be limited
too. You will devel­op var­i­ous solu­tions and approach­es that will to vary­ing degrees
“work” for you. But over time, because you and the world are ever changing,
this or that solu­tion or approach will at some point par­tial­ly or completely
fail you…and this is when this Gift of Gem­i­ni, this reminder and re-Seeding
of your Intel­li­gence will come to your aid.

For it is in this Gift of Contrariness,
of Peer­ing through oth­er facets and so Pierc­ing through your self-made shadows,
it is this self-reflec­tive curios­i­ty that is at the heart of your Intelligence
which will help you to con­tin­ue to find you way clos­er to a more all-encompassing
Truth.

Cel­e­brate the New Moon of Gemini.…

Chal­lenge your­self to see beyond/beneath…

To see Through.

To think out­side of your
Shad­ows as you…

Question…Everything!

And with the Won­der and Eyes of a
Child…

See the Mag­ic and Beau­ty, and The Light…

That is you, that is your world.

Venus Trine Neptune and Saturn & Mercury Opposition Pluto (June 7, 2013)

2013-Grand-Trine-Preview-June

Your
Avatar of Beau­ty and Love joins the Grand Align­ment of 2013…

Your Year of the “Waters of Life” con­tin­ues, as your
Plan­e­tary Com­pan­ions align with one anoth­er and so bestow upon you their
Wis­dom, Love and Strength…but this Dance of the Plan­ets is becom­ing ever more
nuanced and profound.

The open­ing of this grand align­ment was dis­cussed in the posting
for Mon­day June 3, and what
is offered to you now and in the days to come builds upon that first gift from
Mer­cury align­ing with Sat­urn and Nep­tune. Today it is Venus who slips into the
Space that Jupiter will soon assume. But the mes­sage and mean­ing of this
align­ment becomes even more potent as Mer­cury too adds anoth­er ele­ment to the
song and dance that is form­ing up now…and all of this is real­ly just a
prepa­ra­tion for you, to make ready the greater gift of what will be offered by
Jupiter later…For the plan­ets do not exists as sin­gu­lar enti­ties, they are
part of a greater whole, their Ener­gies, Mean­ings and Mes­sages for you can only
be expe­ri­enced and under­stood as they tru­ly exist, as part of the Liv­ing Spirit
that is the Cosmos.

A sin­gu­lar align­ment or change of posi­tion is real­ly not how you
should under­stand what is hap­pen­ing around you. It is vital­ly impor­tant that
you expe­ri­ence the align­ments of the plan­ets as not “events” as much
as extend­ed moments in Time and Space, in which ener­gies and forms weave with
one anoth­er, cycling up to a crescen­do of Force and Mat­ter and then sweep on
down as they cycle onward through many-lay­ered, intri­cate and inte­gral patterns
of relationship…Truly theirs is an ever-unfold­ing dance of Light and Shadows,
which is true for your life too. Though you may rea­son­ably attempt to focus
upon and under­stand a par­tic­u­lar align­ment at any one time, the Greater Reality
is that you reside in a ver­i­ta­ble Cos­mic Body that is con­stant­ly chang­ing and
form­ing an intri­cate weav­ing of res­o­nance pat­terns that affect one and
all…wheels with­in wheels.

So as much as today is about Venus adding her mes­sage of Beauty
and Love to your under­stand­ing of the align­ment of Sat­urn in Scor­pio to Neptune
in Pisces, it is also impor­tant to per­ceive the more com­plete mes­sage by incorporating
the ener­gies of Mer­cury align­ing with Plu­to too…But it does not end there,
for just ahead Mer­cury will align with Uranus on Sat­ur­day, and then Venus with
Plu­to on Tues­day which is when the Grander Align­ment of Sat­urn with Neptune
will be exact too, which will be fol­lowed by Venus with Uranus on
Wednesday…And this is all by way of prepar­ing the way for the greater
align­ment of Jupiter with Sat­urn, Nep­tune, Uranus and Plu­to which will come
dur­ing this summer…

The truer way to under­stand the mes­sages of the stars is to
expe­ri­ence their song and dance as it is, in con­stant motion!…You need to
step back and take in this greater Truth of Life and Con­scious­ness in Motion,
form­ing ever-chang­ing and won­drous pat­terns of Mean­ing. The Truth of this dance
you are expe­ri­enc­ing today can be seen not just as a series of moments or
events or instances, but form­ing and being revealed as part of a grander
design.

There is in fact a name for this par­tic­u­lar pat­tern that the
plan­ets are now form­ing, and it is called “The Kite”, and the image
above shows clear­ly why it is so named. It is formed prin­ci­pal­ly by three
plan­ets form­ing a tri­an­gu­lar shape, here the Grand Trine in Water between
Sat­urn and Nep­tune and then to Mer­cury and Venus who form the third point. Then
it is this third point that in turn is oppo­site to anoth­er plan­et, Plu­to in
this instance, which in effect becomes the point for the release of the entire
align­ment! All of the Ener­gies and Mean­ings that res­onate through all the
Avatars in this type of pat­tern come to be focused and released through the
“point” formed at the top of the Kite, so here Plu­to pro­vides the Key
to the Mystery.

The gift of Venus in Can­cer today is to there to elic­it and remind
you that the Deep­er Union you seek by Sat­urn in Scor­pio, and the Divine
Com­mu­nion that you seek by Nep­tune in Pisces, that both of these forms of
deep­er con­nec­tion with the Beloved before you and the Beloved who surrounds
you, are found­ed and formed by you car­ing for and be cared for, by you
nur­tur­ing and being nur­tured by the root of you, by the love for and the love
from your own high­er self, which is your own true Beloved that is within.

Mod­u­lat­ing this mes­sage from your source of Beau­ty and Love, now
Mer­cury in Can­cer oppos­es Plu­to in Capricorn…and it is here that you will
find the focal point of today’s mes­sage as being formed, found and released.
The mes­sage that Mercury/Pluto offers is that your jour­ney to these Deeper
Unions with the “Three Forms of the Beloved” rely upon and require
your pow­er of Pierc­ing beyond Appear­ances, and you are able to do this through
your exer­cise of Men­tal Willpow­er. An essen­tial ele­ment of your Trans-Personal
Path­way, your Divine pow­er of Self-Unfold­ment, requires that you learn to wield
a Mind that is Focused by the Will, so that can “see through” to and
so expe­ri­ence ever deep­er lev­els of inter­re­la­tion­ship and understanding…for
this is how you come to know your truth, this is how you can humbly accept and
grow into Wisdom. 

The mes­sage is that your Pow­er can only be wield­ed well when
you under­stand the Inte­gral Align­ment of your Ori­gins and Destiny…For as Mercury
affirms that you remain firm­ly root­ed and secured to your Foun­tain-Source of
Feel­ing, Plu­to holds you to your Path of Ful­fill­ment, and that you also accept
the Duties and Respon­si­bil­i­ties that are yours, for you have a des­tiny, you are one of the ones
of the One. It is through this inte­gral rela­tion­ship between your Roots and
Respon­si­bil­i­ties, between your Foun­da­tions and your Des­tiny, it is through this
Joy­ful Aware­ness aligned and embraced by the Tri-Fold Love of your
Beloved, it is through this Weav­ing-Way that you will remain cen­tered upon the
Path­way of Light.

This
is how you Wise­ly and Lovingly…

Slow­ly
but surely…

Find
and Make your way…

To
your Home…

To your
Des­tiny, in the Stars.

Neptune Turns Stationary Retrograde (June 6, 2013)


Neptune-Rx2

Dream
a lit­tle dream of you…

I
wrote about this shift in my 2013 Gen­er­al Fore­cast:

Nep­tune Ret­ro­grade (June 6 until Novem­ber 13) 

The
Lord of Dreams and Imag­i­na­tion asks you to go with­in and con­sid­er what lies at
the heart of your pow­er of cre­ation. It is time for deep­er con­tem­pla­tions, you
need to med­i­tate and take more of those qui­et walks in forests or sanctuaries.
It is a time of ego-tran­scend­ing, true self-seek­ing acceptance…You need to
find a more trans-per­son­al way of believ­ing and being.
 

Nep­tune
is turn­ing ret­ro­grade till Novem­ber. Well, of course, that is from your
per­spec­tive here on Earth, for in fact it is you who is pass­ing by
Neptune…you are like a rac­er on the inside track pass­ing a “slow­er”
rac­er on the out­side, so Nep­tune appears to be going “back­wards” to
you!

Like
in all things, appear­ances, facts, The Truth…It real­ly or Tru­ly is all “Relative”…What
you Perceive/Understand will depend upon your point of view as deter­mined by
your Prin­ci­pal lev­el of Con­scious­ness, which is formed by your degree of
Inte­gra­tion and Spir­i­tu­al Development…and with­in that realm of consciousness
in which you abide you will call that expe­ri­ence of what you perceive
“Real­i­ty” or the “Truth”…

You
will per­ceive what you expect, for you can only expe­ri­ence and know what you
are able to com­pre­hend giv­en your Consciousness…But as you con­tin­ue your
Jour­ney, as you unfold your poten­tial through your Self-Becom­ing, you will
begin to real­ize, more and more, that there is so much still that you do not
know or understand…and this is very good, because it is this real­iza­tion that
begins to form the Por­tal, this Humil­i­ty is your dawn­ing and door­way to Wisdom!

Nep­tune
as the Avatar of Dreams and Imag­i­na­tion is cen­tral to this process of you
becom­ing more aware…Known as the Uni­ver­sal Sol­vent, Nep­tune dis­solves the
Forms and Appear­ances that you have tak­en for Real­i­ty at any par­tic­u­lar time,
for Nep­tune is the Gate­way to the Mul­ti­Verse or The Greater Real­i­ty that is
behind or beyond any par­tic­u­lar Uni­verse. You will with Neptune’s
“guid­ance”, slow­ly slip and stum­ble through “the Looking
Glass” as you descend into a peri­od of tran­si­tion, which you will
expe­ri­ence as Confusion…This is as it is meant to be, for you must let go a
less­er form of know­ing before you can move into the greater, and you will only
do this when your pre­vi­ous under­stand­ing begins to fail you…

You will
have need to re-imag­ine and re-per­ceive the world about you, which is exactly
what Nep­tune will also provide…And it is this which will allow you to continue
to move through ever more inclu­sive and expan­sive Par­a­digms of Reality…This
is your Spi­ral Jour­ney, your jour­ney of Awak­en­ing, as you move towards the Greater
Awareness…this is your jour­ney that is for­ev­er and ever!

But
this Jour­ney is not only out­ward, it is and most nec­es­sar­i­ly must be Inward
too…and that is what Nep­tune turn­ing ret­ro­grade offers to you now. Every year
you will receive this shift of ener­gies, those Dissolving/Illuminating Rays of
Nep­tune will turn your atten­tion to that which lies with­in and you will need to
explore the Nature of your Inner Worlds too.

Of
course, you must and need be doing this each and every day. But your Inner
Jour­ney of Questioning/Confusion/Awakening is just that much more potent and
nec­es­sary when Nep­tune is mov­ing back­wards through the Zodi­ac, so you really
want to take advan­tage of this oppor­tu­ni­ty to pierce through the veil that
obscures your self-under­stand­ing and come that much clos­er to your High­er Self. 

Though
you may think that you can only know and find your way through this world by
ris­ing above the illu­sion­ary nature of the out­er real­i­ty, it is in fact more
nec­es­sary and use­ful to use Nep­tune’s Gift to lift the Illu­sions you hold
with­in and about yourself…

For
the Path to Truth is the Path to your High­er Self…

And
so this imper­a­tive is found upon all the Por­tals to the Greater Awareness…

Know
Thyself”!
