I men­tioned this shift in my 2013
Gen­er­al Fore­cast:

Plu­to Ret­ro­grade (April 12 until Sep­tem­ber 20)

Plu­to takes you inwards to re-con­sid­er the nature of your will. Before
you can forge even deep­er mean­ings between one anoth­er, before you can make the
mag­ic that comes from the join­ing of spir­its one with anoth­er, you need to
secure your own sacred space again. 

Plu­to is the Gate­keep­er, the Lord of
Will and Bound­aries, the Pre­serv­er and Pro­tec­tor of you and your Sacred Space.
He is the third of the Mighty Three, which form the Endur­ing Foun­da­tions for
your High­er Spir­i­tu­al Pres­ence. For this is the key to your Self-Becom­ing, that
at your core burns the Sacred Spir­i­tu­al Fire, and its nature is Tri­une as it
is for every Par­ti­cle and Force in the Universe.

The Sacred Three, these Avatars of
Wis­dom, Love and Will are: Uranus who leads you upon the path­way to a Freer
Mind, Nep­tune who sings your Heart-Song of Uncon­di­tion­al Love, and Plu­to who
forms and secures your Sacred Space of Self-Real­iza­tion. These three powers
form the core of you, and they are the Sub­stan­tial Sacred Promise of your Fulfillment
in this human chap­ter of your nev­er-end­ing Spir­i­tu­al Journey.

Plu­to is turn­ing now…and so you must
too. For your Jour­ney of Will depends upon this most essen­tial rhythm, of
mov­ing out then mov­ing in. It is the Weav­ing-Way of Spir­it lead­ing you to the
Greater Under­stand­ing, and it is this which is the key to your Self-Mastery,
Free­dom and Joy.

Before you may wield wise­ly and well
those awe­some pow­ers that you have (and have yet to encounter), pow­ers that you
have bare­ly learned to under­stand or com­mand, you must first clear your inner
cham­bers and redeem your mis­di­rect­ed energies…you must learn to steadi­ly and
sure­ly, cycle after cycle, learn how to draw upon your High­er Self, your true Beloved, so as to
move into the Promised Land of Peace, into your Sacred Space of the Centered
Will where you will abide with Res­olute Self-Control.

Plu­to is turn­ing, and so shall you…

You will turn your will upon yourself…

To cleanse and heal yourself…

Of fears, regrets and those shadowed
echoes of your past.

The Lord of Will reminds you…

“You are the Mak­er, the
Dreaming-Creator,

And your Sto­ry and Destiny,

Is but yours to
command!”

She slips between you
and your Star…kissed by the Sun, the Moon receives her req­ui­site spir­i­tu­al Gift
of Inspi­ra­tion which she in turn offers to you…For this is her pur­pose, to be
your Muse, your stead­fast guardian who reflects and so buffers those burning
bright Solar Rays of pure Spir­i­tu­al Fire…she does this for you always, and
most espe­cial­ly as you enter into yet anoth­er Month of Moons.

Your jour­ney is formed
by many inter­sect­ing cycles of these Great Lords sweep­ing through the heavens,
artic­u­lat­ing, blend­ing and form­ing the forces which shape this lit­tle cor­ner of
space for you…and in the end it is she, dear Luna, who stands watch above as
she gath­ers, mod­u­lates and pass­es on these awe­some forces for you.

No cycle is more primal
nor more deeply felt by you than this Luna­tion Cycle, from New Moon to Full
Moon and back again, which from month to month, and year after year articulates
the Spir­i­tu­al rhythm of activ­i­ty and mean­ing for your Self Becoming…

The first moment in any
cycle was always held and revered as the most spe­cial and sacred, for it is said
that with­in this seed­ing moment the entire­ty of what is with­in and what will become
is held, as if wait­ing with bait­ed breath to begin its jour­ney of man­i­fes­ta­tion, and so it is that with­in the Alpha ker­nel there lies the promise of those har­vest­ed fruits
of the Omega…

And that from this Omega fruit, from the very seeds that it
con­tains with­in its Sacred Heart, it is from this that the next greater expres­sion of Spir­it that is Becom­ing will emerge as the Alphas of a new­er, high­er beginning…and
so on, and so on…For as it was in the begin­ning, so shall it be, for­ev­er and ever.

As you begin this
your New Year of the Self-Becom­ing, your next great year of Awak­en­ing to your Greater
Aware­ness, you should pause at this Thresh­old of Mean­ing, you should bow your
head and humbly offer your grat­i­tude for these gifts from on high…You need to
be still and qui­et and lis­ten with your heart to this most impor­tant message
from your Sun and Moon here at their First Lunation.

And in the silence and
dark­ness, in that still, qui­et cor­ner that is with­in, you will feel a stirring
in your soul, a leap­ing of your heart…You will feel the pres­ence of this
awe­some mes­sage of Spir­i­tu­al Grace and Truth…that you may Begin Again, always…For
with­in you is your Alpha Seed of Self that is the Ever Becoming…and your most
impor­tant and tru­ly only pur­pose is to quite sim­ply know and then be your Self!

For in each and every
dawn, in each and every moment in the day, there resides the one eter­nal and
ever-present pres­ence that is your Pure Poten­tial, where the past meets the future, and you will find it there in the ever abid­ing Now.

That is where you need
to be, remain­ing always…

Ever present in this
moment of your pure Cre­ative Fulcrum…

Where you will redeem
your past and forge your bet­ter tomorrows…

Because you are,
because you will…

Be the Alpha and the
Omega…

By
remain­ing in the Now.

It
has been almost two years since you last felt this way…for that is how long
it takes for Venus to race around and catch up to Mars…Today they begin a new
cycle in the Sto­ry of Love and Desire in your world.

For these two are the com­pan­ions to
your Earth, shep­herd­ing her, guid­ing her…standing watch over her. They are
por­tals towards what is with­in you and what lies beyond…they pro­vide you with
the mean­ings and mes­sages of what is most per­son­al to you.

Venus, the Guardian of your Inner
Life, rules Val­ue, Beau­ty and Love. For at the very core of you (as at the core
of every Par­ti­cle and Force in Cre­ation) is the undy­ing, eter­nal lamp of Spirit
which you know and feel as Love. It is through Venus that your Jour­ney to Self
ever seeks to remind you that your true Nature is Love that is Unbound­ed and
Unconditional…and your Jour­ney is so that you might learn to become what you are…and to learn that what you have is to be enjoyed with one another.

Mars, the Guardian of your Outer
Life, rules Action, Desire and Aspi­ra­tion. For at the very core of you (as at
the core of every Par­ti­cle and Force in Cre­ation) is the ever-present,
ever-seek­ing Spark of the Divine whose one Desire is to become, to unceasingly
unfold and bring into being or Man­i­fes­ta­tion what you call your Self. All that
you see and touch and smell and feel and taste, and all that you can­not yet
perceive…All of it IS because at the Core of Spir­it there resides this
insis­tent, self-unfold­ing power…

As
in the begin­ning of any cycle, includ­ing the Great Cos­mic Cycle of Being and Non-Being, there is and
will always be one necessity…Spirit Desires to BE, and so it was, is and
shall be…Look up, look out and see the majesty that sur­rounds you in these Heav­ens above…Spirit Is, it Desires to Be…Let there be Light!

Now these two, your stalwart
stew­ards, now they come togeth­er to inspire you yet again, to remind you that
it all begins with your Love and your Desire…it all comes from what you hold in your Heart
and what you Seek in the world around you. In the end, these two are the
same, for what you are is what you seek…I am That, I Am.

You are here to become more fully
the Love that you are…

You are here to seek for this Love in
these worlds that sur­round you…

You are here to embrace
the Greater Reality…

That you and your Journey
are one…

To Love, To Desire.

To Be.

Trip­li­ci Coniunctio!

Today you will expe­ri­ence a triple play
cours­ing through your life, three of your star­ry com­pan­ions are align­ing with
one another…First, Venus will align with the Sun, then Venus will conjunct
Uranus, and final­ly the Sun will make the same align­ment to Uranus…You cannot
see this because of the Sun’s Glo­ry, but you will most cer­tain­ly feel this
beau­ti­ful dance of Spirit!

Venus “con­juncts” the Sun in
one of two ways. Last year you enjoyed the pas­sage of Venus over the face of
the Sun, for at that time she was between the Earth and the Sun. This time she
is on the “far side” of the Sun, and though this is called a
“con­junc­tion”, I would argue that it is more like a Venus Full Moon
for you!

Venus and the Sun are in Aries now,
while you on Earth move through Libra, and here­in lies the mes­sage of what this
align­ment means for you. This Solar Infu­sion of Aries spir­it in Venus is
nec­es­sary and good, it serves to rein­force the fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ple that your
expe­ri­ence of Val­ue and Beau­ty must begin with you, for with­out abid­ing and unconditional
self-love there can be no tru­ly healthy rela­tion­ship with any­thing or any­one else.

Yet this Venus “full moon” is
bal­anced by its coun­ter­point truth that resides in Libra, that with­out a
mean­ing­ful rela­tion­ship to the beloved, to one and to many oth­ers, to the
uni­verse in fact, with­out this…well, what point would your exis­tence have? You
find and secure the val­ue with­in your­self in order to seek and find it around
you and in one anoth­er too…You are here to real­ize that, as in all of Spirit
and Mat­ter (for they are also but mir­rors of one anoth­er too), all are part of the
One Self and that One Self is present in us all.

Part two of your dance brings Venus over
Uranus and there is elec­tric­i­ty danc­ing through the Fire of Aries now! Uranus
brings his mes­sage of Indi­vid­u­a­tion to your expe­ri­ence of Val­ue, Beau­ty and
Love.

Too often, aris­ing out of the doubts and
fears that echo from your past, you may slip into error regard­ing your true
nature…that you are, though it is as yet unrec­og­nized by you, that you are a
foun­tain-source of won­der, of immea­sur­able, ever-unfold­ing val­ue and love
with­in your­self. You may, out of fear and doubt, seek to hold or bind val­ue to
your­self, hold some­thing or some­one to your­self and so pro­tect and preserve
what you have, only to end up, of course, los­ing it, them or your­self, at least
for a while…You fall into error as you again for­get that the one great constant
of this Uni­verse, and the one great source of Hope too, is Growth and Change.

Uranus is here to remind you about your
expe­ri­ence of Love, that the core prin­ci­ple of your jour­ney is to devel­op true
uncon­di­tion­al recog­ni­tion, cel­e­bra­tion and sup­port for the spir­i­tu­al jour­ney of
your beloved. When you are able to love anoth­er as your­self tru­ly, then you can
forge a space of self-real­iza­tion that is tru­ly free, free for one anoth­er because
it is found­ed upon uncon­di­tion­al love…and it is in this spe­cial space that
you can in fact find your way to your truer self…that you can be more of who
you are with one anoth­er than you ever could out­side of this relationship…for
it is that very lov­ing recog­ni­tion of the spe­cial unique­ness of the beloved’s
spir­it that cre­ates the con­di­tions to help the greater release of their spirit
with and through yours too.

Final­ly, The Sun, the source of Self
aligns with Uranus, the pow­er of Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty. To what­ev­er extent you have
made choic­es that have bound you to con­di­tions which were not or are no longer
true for you…these will now become beyond bearing.

Being in this phys­i­cal world, you must
take your pure poten­tial and pour your­self into many forms and vehi­cles. These
forms, while pro­vid­ing you with your expe­ri­ence of self-real­iza­tion, are by
their very nature also lim­it­ing too. It is nec­es­sary this lim­i­ta­tion, and often
for you at the time quite welcomed…But over time, these roles and
rela­tion­ships, these forms of man­i­fes­ta­tion in fam­i­ly and in work, with friends
and with loved ones can become very lim­it­ing. Why? Because you and the Universe
are con­tin­u­al­ly unfold­ing and becom­ing so much more…and the forms must evolve
too or your spir­it will suffer…

This is such at time, it is a time of
Quickening…a time to break free and reset the forms of your self-fulfillment.
But True Free­dom can­not be imposed by you upon anoth­er, nor can it seized from
one and giv­en to another…The key to the Spir­i­tu­al Self-Ful­fill­ment and
Free­dom is not about divid­ing the “Pie of Self-Ful­fill­ment” differently…it
is about Grow­ing our Space of Self-Real­iza­tion together…That is your Goal
today, as it should be each and every day!

Thrice blessed you are today, three
times the bells of Spir­it will ring out…

To Love thy­self so as to love one
another…

To Love the oth­er as oneself…

To be Free, to be oneself…

May it be, may you become…

Let it be so.
