Sun Enters Gemini (May 20, 2013)





Gemini2
 

The
Great Jour­ney of Spir­it has come around to this most sacred way, this most holy
place…for this is where inno­cence was lost…and your redemp­tion was
born…This is the Por­tal to your Greater Aware­ness

Every Sign speaks to your Jour­ney of Spir­it, of the
Self-Unfold­ment of your pow­ers and abil­i­ties, as you pass through many
dimen­sions, with many ener­gies and through many forms in this great Spiral
Jour­ney of Light. But some­thing quite remark­able and inte­gral to your journey
back to the stars hap­pened (and hap­pens) here in the mys­tery that is Gemini.
This is the moment, in the past and in those far dis­tant-futures, but always
and for­ev­er in your ever-present Now, this is that moment that is for­ev­er and
ever that you became/become Self-Aware.

Whether in the “myths” of Prometheus, Lucifer, Loki,
Kali, Quet­zal­coatl and count­less and for­got­ten oth­ers, the sto­ry is told as to
how the Non Self-Aware Beings, in our case Humans, receive the gift from those
“whose great hon­or and sac­ri­fice is to do what was also done unto
them”, they descend so as to pass on “The Light”, bestow­ing upon
the still Sleep­ing Ones this Fire or Light of Self-Awareness.

This is “the Fall” from the so-called “Blessed
State” of the Self that is Undif­fer­en­ti­at­ed (the Pure State of “I
Am”), of Being one with the One, who by becom­ing Self-Aware are thereby
cast out of the Gar­den of Eden (of Bliss­ful Igno­rance) and into that Wilderness
of Wan­der­ing through these Worlds of Duality…

By becom­ing a Being awak­ened to “I am That”, now
dis­tinct and feel­ing this won­drous and yet painful sep­a­ra­tion, being aware of
this, they take up the jour­ney of Self-Con­scious Beings who now strive to
Under­stand these Ener­gies and Forms of Real­i­ty in Mat­ter, and so by their
Self-Mak­ing/­Self-Real­iza­tions they Forge their Path­way of Light back to the
One…They return as Prodi­gal Sons and Daugh­ters, bring­ing back to the One
these Gifts of the Expe­ri­ence of Self-Realization…

This is the Por­tal, that leads to the Greater Aware­ness, the path
is through Dual­i­ty, to be caught between Self and Oth­er, Dark­ness and Light,
Being and Non-Being as you, The Pil­grim, seeks ever to under­stand from whence
did I come, for what rea­son am I here…and where and what am I to become?

This
is The Jour­ney…That you left from the One as Un-Self Con­scious Sparks of the
Divine, wing­ing your way through Time and Space, through Dimen­sions, Energies,
Worlds and Forms…

For
count­less eons your jour­ney was expe­ri­enced but remained with­out Self-Knowing,
until this Por­tal and the Gift Bestowed…

For
the rest of your jour­ney you will seek to return..

To find
the way to heal these divi­sions of Self and Other…

From
which so much con­fu­sion, error and pain arise. 

To find
your way beyond the Illu­sion

Where each and every appear as sep­a­rate from
one another…

Back
to the One, back in the Liv­ing Truth.

That
all are ones of the One…

Whose
Wis­dom, Love and Strength…

Will
Abide For­ev­er and Ever…

With­in you, Between you and Through­out Creation.

For you are the Prodi­gal Pil­grims, the Sons and Daughters…

Find­ing your way Home.

Mercury Square Neptune (May 18, 2013)


Mercury-and-Neptune4

Feel­ing a bit fuzzy or distracted…Maybe
you mis­re­mem­bered some­thing, or you lost or mis­placed some­thing (or someone!)…Your
mind wan­dered off or you did not pay atten­tion to what was being said, or where
you were going…And so you have inad­ver­tent­ly crossed over into that twilight
realm, of swirling mists, of twin­kling lights and danc­ing shad­ows, and you
real­ize that you are real­ly “not in Kansas anymore”…

Well, that’s just fine because your
Con­scious­ness need­ed this…You always need this real­ly, for it is this kind of
expe­ri­ence that is most nec­es­sary for your Spi­ral Jour­ney of Light, as this is
how you grow into your Greater Awareness…You grow because you encounter this
chal­lenge to your Per­cep­tions, Assump­tions and Cer­tain­ties and begin to realize
that maybe there is more here than you have imagined.

Because when you stum­ble into these
errors or con­fu­sion, you become turned around and about, and you have to lift
your­self up and con­sid­er anoth­er way of per­ceiv­ing, con­ceiv­ing and know­ing you
and your world…Over time you will come to know and accept that your journey
of Con­scious­ness is a cycle of mov­ing cease­less­ly from Cer­tain­ty, to Doubt, to
Confusion…and it is then that you turn with a new-found Openness…and this in turn gives birth to
your New Awareness…But of course, you again become “Cer­tain” about that…until…

It is the Great Lord Nep­tune who is ever
there and will make and remind you of this today. For you will only grow by
let­ting go, and you only let go when the hold­ing on to what is non­sense is
clear­ly the one thing you are cer­tain you can no longer do!

And so Nep­tune, who you might wish to hold
at fault for bring­ing this con­fu­sion into your life, is equal­ly and actu­al­ly the
Avatar who offers you this way through to the Light of a Greater Understanding.
For only when you acknowl­edge that your for­mer under­stand­ing was full of
Illu­sions can you open your Mind (and Heart) to the Clear-See­ing, Compassionate
Light of Illu­mi­na­tion that is the Truth of Neptune.

For it is this which Nep­tune offers you, it is the Foun­tain Source of your Faith and Imag­i­na­tion that springs from what holds
the entire­ty of Cre­ation and you togeth­er as One…the One Abid­ing and Bind­ing Light, the Forces and Forms of the Divine that you call Love.

Do not be trou­bled if you are
confused…

For it is a sign that you are aware and
awakening…

Let­ting go of your shack­les of Cer­tain­ty, you question.

Let your­self move into a Liv­ing Faith
of Open­ness and Love…

Seek­ing and so find­ing a more Expansive,
Inclu­sive and Hum­ble Way.

For this is Wis­dom, this is your path…

This is the Wis­dom of Love.

Mercury Enters Gemini (May 15, 2013)

Mercury-in-Gemini

Her­mes, the Fleet-Foot­ed mes­sen­ger, who
flies between those Star­ry Realms above and your Earth­ly plane below, returns to
his home sign of Gem­i­ni. Yet he is already begin­ning to slow down as he arcs
his way around the Sun and approach­es the next ret­ro­grade in late June. He is
still mov­ing at his top speed right now, which means he will only be in Gemini
for just over two weeks…So you had bet­ter take advan­tage of all this
delight­ful­ly engag­ing Airy Ener­gy while it lasts! (Take note of this, because Mercury
is going ret­ro­grade at the end of June, and he will swim, back and forth, in and out, through
those Waters of Can­cer for over two months!)

The realm of Air is where Her­mes shines,
for your grow­ing Self-Aware­ness is found­ed upon those Mer­cu­r­ial Pow­ers which
have endowed you with the abil­i­ty to pon­der and ques­tion, to com­pare and
con­trast, to observe and rea­son as you seek to know your world and yourself
through an ever-expand­ing means of Perception-Understanding.

For the next two weeks, you should do
your utmost to let your mind rejoice in its pli­a­bil­i­ty, inge­nu­ity and comically
con­trar­i­an nature. It is most nec­es­sary to your growth that you
question…Everything. Chal­lenge your­self and oth­ers to step out­side their
com­fort zones and look at your assump­tions and self-made “facts”,
which as often as they may pro­vide frame­works will inevitably veil you from a more
com­plete understanding.

These nec­es­sary par­a­digms, like steps upon a spi­ral stair­way, reveal much to
you for a time, but they equal­ly forge and hold you enthralled, cre­at­ing the very shad­ows, those
dif­fer­ences and dilem­mas that you must free your­self from in order to become.
Like a Spi­ral Flame of Light, you rise from lev­el to lev­el, from the ordi­nary to
an ever more inclu­sive and extra­or­di­nary per­spec­tive. You will dis­cov­er as you
let go and grow, that many intractable prob­lems melt away by you shift­ing your
Per­spec­tives-Assump­tions as you appre­hend new approach­es and solutions.

Remem­ber, your Jour­ney of Self-Becoming
is found­ed upon a most Holy Trin­i­ty, the Three Prin­ci­ple Attrib­ut­es of Spirit
that are a Cen­tered Will, Uncon­di­tion­al Love and a Free Mind. The Spir­it within
you, your Spark of the Divine, is the source of your Self-Aware­ness, and it is
ever seek­ing to inspire, guide and help you to real­ize your Des­tiny, which is
to grow through and yet ulti­mate­ly tran­scend your more lim­it­ed under­stand­ing as
you climb the Path of Light and approach the Greater Aware­ness of Cos­mic Consciousness.

Rejoice in Her­mes, who has come to lead
you through the Por­tal to his Realm…

He, who is named, but is not known, by
many names…Trickster, Coy­ote, Fool and Clown.

He shows you the Way to Wis­dom, through
Humil­i­ty and Laughter.

You Dance a Spi­ral Dance of
Consciousness…

Your Jour­ney of Shad­ows lead­ing you into the
Light…

Lift­ing you Home­ward to the Stars.

Venus Square Neptune (May 13, 2013)

Venus-and-Neptune2

Things are not what they seem…and depending
upon how you under­stand what the Uni­verse is ask­ing of you, you are either going
to end up feel­ing a bit con­fused (and per­haps even deceived) or filled with a
renewed sense of wonder.

Venus
is danc­ing through Gem­i­ni now, and your sen­si­bil­i­ties thrill to the delights of
explor­ing the Deli­cious Diver­si­ties of your world. You need to par­take in the
many nuanced reflec­tions of Aes­thet­ic and Social Sen­si­bil­i­ties that you find mirrored
with­in your­self and seek as well in those who accom­pa­ny you. For now, you
are in this Gem­i­ni Way of Seek­ing, Eval­u­at­ing and Under­stand­ing your World, and
so every form and expe­ri­ence with­in it will appear to you as some multi-faceted
Jew­el, sparkling with many Vari­a­tions on what­ev­er Sub­ject, Theme or Experience
you are par­tic­i­pat­ing in. You find that you need and wish to look through the many
Win­dows of Life with a child­like Delight in Dis­cov­ery, with your Eyes Wide and filled
with Wonderment.

How­ev­er, you may find that these many-mirrored
ways become a lit­tle more than con­fus­ing, and you may in fact stum­ble into
realms of decep­tion and self-decep­tion when Nep­tune weighs in today. Though
par­tak­ing in these vari­eties of val­ue, beau­ty and cul­ture are most nec­es­sary to
your devel­op­ment, both as a deep­en­ing and broad­en­ing of your own rela­tion­ship to
your expe­ri­ence of Love, you may fall into con­fu­sion or error as Nep­tune pushes
those facets of your appar­ent Uni­verse into the Frac­tals of the greater Multi-Verse.

For it is one thing to under­stand and appreciate
the var­ied nuances of val­ue with­in your world, but as you trav­el beyond the
ordi­nary, you may assume over much that the oth­er before you shares your point
of view. Those facets that joined with some agree­ment and under­stand­ing become
bent, twist­ed and dis­solve as you fall into the error of mis­read­ing another’s
inten­tion or pro­ject­ing too much of your view upon them…or it is they who
have fall­en, pro­ject­ing their view, their wish or fear upon you. From whichever
side, the chances for mis­un­der­stand­ing, delu­sion and decep­tion are that much
higher.

But the Uni­verse is not seek­ing to lead
you astray, it is ever abet­ting and encour­ag­ing your growth which requires that
you leave behind the less­er and move into your Greater Aware­ness. At each step
you take you come to the next Cer­tain­ty, the next lev­el of Truth that will and
must hold for a time (but hope­ful­ly, over time, you will come to understand
that it is all rel­a­tive, so that you grow in Wis­dom and Humil­i­ty equally).

Always remem­ber, Cer­tain­ty is very
over-rat­ed. When you are cer­tain you will pro­ceed to relate to the oth­er with
no adapt­abil­i­ty or true empa­thy, and those mis­cues and errors will grow and
swell and could even­tu­al­ly undo what might have been.

Nep­tune here offers you a chance, to see
that things are not so cer­tain, not so def­i­nite and you must open your range of
per­cep­tions and expec­ta­tions if you are to con­sid­er mat­ters in a more nuanced
light. For a time this can bring about doubts and con­fu­sion, as you seek to
find your way in this new world of danc­ing Light and Shadows…

Your con­fu­sion is a most nec­es­sary price
you must pay, again and again, in order to let go of the less­er understanding
in order show you the way into the Greater…

For those who are cer­tain, they have their
self-made shad­ows firm­ly set…

They see but through a glass that is of
Dark­ness and Doubt.

But when you tru­ly open your­self with
Won­der and Acceptance…

When you ques­tion, and seek and strive
to move beyond…

Those Shad­ows begin to soft­en, and a New
World stands in the Light.

You see the Greater Truth of all in One
and One in All…

There Hope and True Love ever prevail…

At the Cross­ing Point between the
Dark­ness and the Light.

Mercury Conjunct Sun (May 11, 2013)

Mercury-Conjunct-Sun-in-Taurus

Her­mes has reached his Superior
Con­junc­tion with the Sun, and so you too have reached anoth­er culmination/revelation
in your Jour­ney of Mind. This align­ment is when Mer­cury has come around to the
“Far Side” of the Sun rel­a­tive to you, and so it is more like a
“Full Moon” for Mer­cury and your Mind. When Mer­cury ret­ro­grades and
comes back across the Sun in the Infe­ri­or Con­junc­tion, well that align­ment is
like a “New Moon” for your Mind. Three times in a year, this Mer­cury cycle
of Seed­ing and Reap­ing will repeat for you.

Your Jour­ney of Self-Unfold­ment is like
a Spi­ral Dance, which swirls around in intri­cate, inter­sect­ing cycles Formed
and Guid­ed by all these Lords of Time and Space, most vivid­ly evi­denced by the
cycle of the Sun and Moon, but also with Mer­cury and Venus, Mars, Jupiter and
out to Plu­to too. For they repeat­ed­ly meet up and align with one anoth­er in a
series of Har­mon­ic Align­ments based on the divi­sion of the 360 degrees of the
Cir­cle of Life called the Zodi­ac. From Con­junc­tion (or “New Moon”),
to Wax­ing First Quar­ter, to Wax­ing Trine to Oppo­si­tion (or “Full
Moon”) and then back in reverse order to a new Con­junc­tion, each phase
car­ries Ener­gies and Mean­ings to guide your Jour­ney on Earth.

The last Begin­ning or New Moon for your
Mind was in ear­ly March, which is when a fresh offer­ing of new Thought-Forms
were seed­ed into your world dur­ing Mer­cury’s last retrograde…Today, is when
you are asked to step back and see what you have under­stood, formed and
real­ized in your jour­ney of Con­scious­ness. The Seed of this present cycle came
from Pisces, and your Har­vest today is in Taurus.

How­ev­er, remem­ber, as it is like a
“Full Moon” for Mer­cury, it real­ly is about your under­stand­ing the
inte­gral rela­tion­ship of Tau­rus with its oppo­site Scor­pio, and you need to see
how this Aware­ness is the ful­fill­ment of that Seed­ing of Mean­ing that began in
Pisces.

That Seed­ing of Pisces springs from your
heart of hearts, and encour­ages you to believe in your Pow­ers of Imagination,
Dream­ing and Faith. That through your most pre­cious gift of Intu­ition, perhaps
as you were mov­ing beyond nor­mal men­tal bound­aries in a day­dream, or upon
awak­en­ing from your night’s rest after hav­ing been graced by a whis­per from
your High­er Self, you found your­self with a renewed sense of the way in which
to approach an old prob­lem, or found inspi­ra­tion to pur­sue some alto­geth­er new endeavor…Whatever
and whichev­er, a new way of Know­ing began to take shape in your mind’s eye.

Today you need stand back and see what
these Ten Weeks have made man­i­fest, to see how well your new approach has
allowed you to resolve the prob­lem you faced, or how well your new idea has
become estab­lished with­in the frame­work of your life.

The ves­sel of your under­stand­ing will be
found and formed by this rela­tion­ship of Tau­rus and Scor­pio, by the Sun and
Mer­cury togeth­er while you abide upon Earth. You see illu­mined the Dream and
Idea of Val­ue made Real and Sub­stan­tial today, brought down from your Mind and come
to life in this boun­ti­ful Tau­rus World of Forms. But you equal­ly must turn and see
the Truth from Scor­pio too, that what­ev­er fin­er form you have made is only for
a time, whether for a day, a month or a hun­dred years, because the Divine Flame
of Spir­it must con­tin­ue the Jour­ney of Becom­ing and so the World will change
and so shall you.

The sto­ry and les­son is there to remind you who you are…

For­ev­er and always, you must grow and become…

To con­tin­ue to Form your­self, and so your
world, into ever more per­fect forms…

But to always remem­ber that you are
Free, and that you are not the form…

You are the Form-Mak­er, a Cre­ator in
Training…

The Dream­er weav­ing Light into Forms and Worlds…

And you have only just begun.
