Full Moon in Aries (September 29, 2012)

Aries-Full-Moon

Every Full Moon is special…each presents a rev­e­la­tion to you about your
jour­ney. But this one, well this one is very spe­cial as it Illu­mi­nates the pre­vi­ous
post­ing
regard­ing the Sun/Uranus/Pluto alignment…

The Winds of the Spir­it are blow­ing stronger today and tonight…But are
you open to these prompt­ings, are you lis­ten­ing to your soul? 

This tru­ly “Har­vest Moon” reminds you of the one fundamental
fact of your exis­tence: You are a unique being, a remark­able spark of the One
Divine Flame, but you are not apart and alone…Every oth­er being that you encounter is
also a spark of this Divine Spir­it too! 

This is the Rev­e­la­tion of Libra as reflect­ed in the Aries Moon…that for
every “I” there is your “Thou”. You will walk upon many
path­ways and worlds togeth­er, life after life, and reveal to and for one
anoth­er The Mystery…That you are sep­a­rate yet togeth­er for all time. You are the One and the Many and your jour­ney and des­tiny are bound­ed and secured by a love
for one anoth­er and to the greater love for one and all.

Libra pulls you to the oth­er now, as you long for, live for, give all to the
rela­tion­ship so that your part­ner becomes your guid­ing center…for it is from
with­in them, yes you see a light that shines upon you, and you smile in this
mar­velous mir­ror­ing rev­e­la­tion of your own true self through the soul-filled
eyes of your beloved…

Yet it is the pur­pose of this Aries Moon to remind you in and through this very reflection,
from the oth­er back upon you, to always remem­ber to keep the bal­ance between
the “I and Thou”. For your “I”, your space of you, is your Sacred Space. 

That you must, in order to cre­ate and sus­tain your “We”, ever affirm your unique­ness, and keep holy your own sacred space of you…for this is inte­gral to there
being any mean­ing­ful spir­i­tu­al rela­tion­ship whatsoever. 

This is the rev­e­la­tion of Libra/Aries, this is the mes­sage of your Luna
ris­ing now: 

That as you draw clos­er to one another…

As you build your sacred
Rain­bow Bridges of Des­tiny together…

You must equal­ly be true to your­self in
order to be true to one another.

So be it!

Sun Opposes Uranus and Sun Squares Pluto (September 29, 2012)

Uranus-Pluto-Sun

To Freer Minds…and Sacred Spaces

This align­ment re-illu­mi­nates, elic­its and is the con­sum­ma­tion (for now) of
the Uranus square Plu­to on Sep­tem­ber 19 and the Mer­cury align­ment to
Uranus/Pluto on Sep­tem­ber 20. As it coin­cides with the Full Moon
tonight, it is par­tic­u­lar­ly aus­pi­cious, beautiful…and potent. 

But of course you need to know, what does it mean for you?

The Sun is in Libra now, oppo­site to Uranus in Aries and square to Pluto
in Capri­corn. Those are three of the four signs that open each sea­son and form
what is called the “Car­di­nal Cross”. These Gate­way signs are about
your unfolding/evolving expe­ri­ence of your con­scious­ness and iden­ti­ty. Aries is
your Pres­ence, your pre­sen­ta­tion of “you”, your Per­sona. Libra is
your Rela­tion­ship, your expe­ri­ence of you in and through the oth­er, your
Part­ner. Capri­corn is your Respon­si­bil­i­ty, your expe­ri­ence of your “Flow­er­ing”
as you ful­fill your des­tiny in the world around you, your Duty. Can­cer is your
Foun­da­tion, your expe­ri­ence of secu­ri­ty through hon­or­ing the roots of your life,
your Cen­ter. These four realms are your expe­ri­ence of ori­en­ta­tion in time and
space, the fun­da­men­tal four-part ques­tion of life: “Who am I, Who are You,
Where do I come From, Where am I going?”

The on-going align­ment of Uranus in Aries to Plu­to in Capri­corn is bringing
about a World­wide or Glob­al “Iden­ti­ty Event” (or some would say
“Cri­sis”). There is great oppor­tu­ni­ty at moments like this, a por­tal has
opened to greater Spir­i­tu­al Awak­en­ing and participation…and, of course, there
is dan­ger too. The oppor­tu­ni­ty comes from meet­ing the chal­lenge thrown down by
these Lords of Trans­for­ma­tion so that you expe­ri­ence a Quick­en­ing of Spir­it, so
that you move that much fur­ther (and faster) along your path of des­tiny. The
dan­ger (always, always) comes from fear, from you hold­ing back, from a retreat
into the old pat­terns that will no longer meet the needs of the present let
alone for your future…

Let’s take a look at this dou­ble alignment.…

What does the Sun oppo­site to Uranus ask of you? The Sun is your pure
poten­tial, your ever-unfold­ing becoming…Your “being­ness in waiting”
that has moved out upon the “waters” and made itself man­i­fest into
var­i­ous forms of self-real­iza­tion: per­son­al and social, fam­i­ly and career…you
have made for your­self forms of man­i­fes­ta­tion that ful­fill you…but by being
def­i­nite they lim­it you too. 

Uranus is sug­gest­ing, pulling even demand­ing that you look within
your­self again at your poten­tial, and then cast your gaze upon what you have
wrought and asks quite sim­ply, “Is this you? Are you being the you that is
most true to what you now know of your­self?” Uranus reminds you that you
must con­tin­u­ous­ly seek to be open to new ideas and forms of self-realization
because both you and your world are chang­ing, becom­ing some­thing more than you
or it were…and so you must free your­self from what for­mer­ly ful­filled but now
would deny the greater you that you can become.

The Sun in Libra holds now to the prin­ci­ple of relat­ed­ness, that the
con­cern for the well-being of the part­ner and even more of that
“thing” between the self and the oth­er, the rela­tion­ship, must come
first now. But Uranus reminds you that for this to tru­ly work each par­ty to the
rela­tion­ship must be true to them­selves as well as accord that free­dom of
self-real­iza­tion to the oth­er too. For in that way your rela­tion­ship may
con­tin­ue to become that sacred space of mutu­al self-ful­fill­ment in and through
one another…For tru­ly Spir­i­tu­al rela­tion­ships can only be found­ed with­in a space of Free­dom wherein
both can be free to be them­selves in and through your relationship. 

Mean­while Plu­to brings anoth­er shap­ing force to bear. The Lord of Will
and Bound­aries reminds you that the jour­ney of self-unfold­ment takes place within
an ever-expand­ing realm of sacred spaces of self-real­iza­tion for each and every
con­scious­ness. The Sun in Libra lives for and extols the virtue and necessity
of build­ing the shared sacred spaces you call “We”…But this might
make one over-eager to form a rela­tion­ship, or to attempt to make it “work”
(work for who?). 

But to cre­ate those shared sacred spaces you must have first come from
your own well-wrought per­son­al sacred space where Respon­si­bil­i­ty and Duty pre­vail, where you
stand and ful­fill your­self with­in a hier­ar­chy of many rela­tion­ships that you
have cre­at­ed will­ing­ly with one another. 

The pow­er of the Will, to create
sacred Space must be exer­cised with the great­est care…you can­not force
anoth­er into rela­tion­ship, you can­not make any­one like or love you…for if you
do this you are tres­pass­ing upon the sacred space of anoth­er, and this is not
sacred at all, this is not love
what­so­ev­er. This is just fear and your only path for­ward is to real­ize that all you need is to employ your will so as to exer­cise Self-Control.

Uranus and Plu­to are pulling and push­ing upon the Sun in Libra…

And you find your­self faced with your own “Iden­ti­ty Crisis”…

You are remind­ed that your jour­ney through rela­tion­ship requires that
you…

Ever open your mind to a Greater Understanding…

So that you can co-cre­ate your shared Sacred Spaces.

There you will expe­ri­ence the great­est of mysteries…

Where I and Thou…becomes the We.

Mercury Trine Jupiter (September 26, 2012)

Mercury-and-Jupiter

Today is a day for Right Thinking! 

When your Low­er Mind (Mer­cury) is graced by the boun­ti­ful­ly benef­ic Jupiter
(High­er Mind), you are able to effort­less­ly inte­grate the near at hand and the
far away…you can show your adept­ness with the myr­i­ad details of what’s before
you while remain­ing won­drous and wide-open to the big­ger pic­ture too. 

You are not mired in micro­manag­ing, con­found­ed by the details, nor
paint­ing with such big brush strokes that you over­look impor­tant par­tic­u­lars. You
are able to dance the inte­gral dance that weaves togeth­er the devel­op­ment of
your Intel­li­gence and Wis­dom. Your adap­tive per­cep­tive mind eas­i­ly shifts among
a wide range of many per­spec­tives, while being guid­ed and cen­tered with­in an
unfold­ing expan­sion of more inclu­sive prin­ci­ples and truths.

Jupiter in Gem­i­ni encour­ages your open­ness to explore dif­fer­ing paradigms
and approach­es that helps Mer­cury in Libra bridge the gap between yourself
and your part­ner. Today is a day you can meet one anoth­er with a greater appre­ci­a­tion for how your dif­fer­ences are not prob­lems to be over­come. Instead, they are the foun­tain-source of how you can help one anoth­er to illu­mi­nate what you each would not have seen with­out the help of the other.

Today you will think more clearly…

Today you will com­mu­ni­cate with more understanding…

Always togeth­er, you are here to build.…

Bet­ter bridges on your path to Wisdom.

Sun Enters Libra, The Fall Equinox (September 22, 2012)

Libra

The Promise Kept…The Rain­bow Bridge Shines Eternal

You have come to this moment, to this most spe­cial turn­ing in your yearly
jour­ney through the Signs of Life. Wheel­ing round your gold­en heart, your brightly
burn­ing Star, you can espy in the slow­ly soft­en­ing light an arrival, it is a
New Sea­son here on Earth. 

Those slant­i­ng rays and play­ful shad­ows reveal new
path­ways, ven­tures and dis­cov­er­ies that lie ahead. You look back, you look
for­ward, you pause to con­sid­er, you are halfway through this Astro­log­i­cal year…What have you learned and what comes next…for you can sense it, a change is in the
Air.

You have passed through Fire and Earth, through Air and Water too. Now you stand at the point of Equi­lib­ri­um, the Bal­anced Beam­ing Point, it
is the Autum­nal Equinox and the Earth bows nei­ther left nor right, you have
reached a cross­ing point for the Light. You face this Por­tal, a Bridge to new
beginnings…with Equal Day and Equal Night…you breathe in, you breathe out…And
you know, it is time.

You cross the threshold…this time you will enter through the Realms of Thought…You
make your approach this time in Air, for you walk in Libra’s realm. It is
nec­es­sary, right and true to think it through now, to under­stand your world in
a New Light, from a new per­spec­tive, as you move from Sub­jec­tive to Objective,
from your Inner Sen­si­bil­i­ty to Out­er Awareness…you move into new spaces and
you need to con­sid­er anoth­er way. You must take some time to pause and consider
what oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges await you now, what do you face in this second
half of your jour­ney, for this is the oth­er part of your story…

The Sec­ond Half is about your “Oth­er Half”, it is about your
jour­ney of Self through the oth­er (and others)…it is your sto­ry of Relationship.
For you are nev­er alone, Not Ever. But you will con­front illu­sions all along
this path of Light and Shad­ow, at every step and turn. Per­haps none is greater or more
painful than this: to be bereft, in a bar­ren world of empti­ness, to be over­whelmed by lone­li­ness, to face the
fear of separation…that you will be alone.

But this is Illu­sion, this is com­plete­ly untrue! Your con­stant companion,
the tru­ly beloved, that you know as your High­er Self, wish­es you to see this
now through the expe­ri­ence of shar­ing and car­ing. By reach­ing across the space
between I and Thou, you span the seem­ing chasm that divid­ed the One and the
many, as you build togeth­er with your beloved those Bridges of Destiny.

It is true that in the core of your being, you know this, you know that
all are part of the One Great Life, the One Breath of Spir­it. But you need to
expe­ri­ence this now in a tan­gi­ble way, by the con­scious cre­ation of relationships
with oth­ers, by mutu­al sup­port, of love and car­ing for one anoth­er, by fol­low­ing the path­way of growth that is to be found in and through one another…You need rela­tion­ship to be Real.

You stand before the gates of part­ner­ship, before the Scales of Libra…for
you wish to belong to anoth­er and so do they to you. Each gate­way requires a
sac­ri­fice, so you must offer some­thing up…you and your offer­ing must be
weighed upon the Scales of Life in order to answer the ques­tion, “Are
you ready for, are you wor­thy of this fuller mea­sure of life…are you ready to
enter into the Holy Space of I and Thou.” 

But what is to be offered, what trea­sure is wor­thy of the such a precious
reward? In the still­ness and the silence, a qui­et voice from with­in your heart
will answer, “You have all that you require in your one priceless
trea­sure, the con­stant burn­ing flame of Cre­ation, the source of all
value…which you know as Love.” You need but extend your self-regard, to
sac­ri­fice your ego and fear, and so encom­pass the oth­er with love, to love the
oth­er as you love yourself…for you must act now to cre­ate the con­di­tions for
your shared sacred space of We.

To love the oth­er as one­self, to tru­ly walk this Rain­bow Bridge between one
and all, is what you must do in order to live in truth…That Love, the truth
that reflects what resides at the heart of Cre­ation, is the bind­ing force for
each and every…That all are One, all are loved…as you are love. 

The wheel has turned, your bridge is waiting…

The Sign, a Promise, from One to all…

Your Rain­bow Bridge…

Of Light and Love…

Spans from Heart to Heart…

And to Heav­en above.

Mercury Opposes Uranus & Squares Pluto (September 20, 2012)

Uranus-Pluto-Mercury

The strug­gle between Freer Minds
and Sacred Spaces focus­es upon your mind today as Mer­cury finds itself caught
betwixt and between these two great Lords…

It’s ” Déjà Vu”
all over again…Similar to the align­ments on June 11 when Mer­cury felt the
squeeze play of Uranus and Plu­to, these two Lords of Trans­for­ma­tion are teaming
up again and Mer­cury is caught in the middle…what does this mean for you?

Uranus, “The Awak­en­er” is oppo­site Mer­cury this time, so those
con­trary cur­rents he brings to you seem to come from beyond your­self, beyond
your present focus on Libra and your rela­tion­ships. Uranus reminds you of the
need to assert your­self and your own mind (Aries) even as you seek the poise,
grace and bal­ance of shared expe­ri­ences (Libra) with your com­pan­ions. Uranus is
there to escort you beyond your assump­tions and points of view, offer­ing you
alter­na­tives that will bend your mind upon new path­ways and outcomes. 

Uranus is always here to encour­age you to remain true to the realization
of your indi­vid­u­al­i­ty through your most won­drous gift, a Free Mind. Uranus
reminds you now that this can only be true when you cre­ate a shared space of
self-real­iza­tion that acknowl­edges and encour­ages the Freer Mind of yourself
and equal­ly accords that same mea­sure of free­dom for your com­pan­ions too.

Open­ing your mind to con­sid­er new (and hope­ful­ly) more evolved ways of
shar­ing with one anoth­er is not always easy, but it is nec­es­sary if you and
your com­pan­ions are to con­tin­ue to grow as indi­vid­u­als, and to move beyond the
old spaces that formed and bound­ed your rela­tion­ship. How­ev­er, it is without
any ques­tion essen­tial and nec­es­sary to be open to this oppor­tu­ni­ty for growth
when your sacred spaces are also being pushed and pulled by Plu­to at the same
time!

Plu­to, Ruler of Will and Sacred Spaces, is squar­ing Mer­cury this time, so
you feel the added pow­er (and pres­sure) to secure, pro­tect and grow your space
of ideas and self-real­iza­tion, to advo­cate for your beliefs, to assert your
truths. But, how do you do this in the con­text of oth­er will­ing beings who will
seek to sway, per­suade or force you towards their points of view too?

When Plu­to is pushing/pulling (as in the Square aspect), it seems as if
you need to employ your will to con­vince anoth­er of your point of view…or you
need to defend your­self as they brow­beat you with theirs…But this is only a
mis­un­der­stand­ing and mis­use of the sacred pow­er of will. 

You must always keep sacred your space, which includes your sacred space
of thought. Only by being cen­tered in your sacred tem­ple of thought can you
come into align­ment with your high­er self, your true beloved who has always
been ready, will­ing and able to lead you onto the high­er paths of consciousness.
These paths can­not be dis­cov­ered nor dis­cerned by you if you are too distracted
by the noise and tumult with­in or around you. 

Just as you can only find your way to high­er truth by secur­ing your
sacred realm of thought, you must respect, hon­or and pro­tect the jour­ney of
con­scious­ness that every oth­er soul is upon as well…You will not find your way to
truth alone, and oth­ers will help you on that path in gen­tle and less gen­tle ways. 

The cir­cuitous jour­ney to Wis­dom takes many turns and twists, and to accomplish
this unfold­ment it is very much part of the plan to debate and argue, to
per­suade or dis­suade with one another…but you must not, can­not be forced to
truth. Like­wise, even if you have dis­cov­ered “IT”, even if you know
you have “IT”, you should there­fore know (espe­cial­ly if you do have
it!) that you must allow oth­ers to find their own way to the greater
under­stand­ing too, for oth­er­wise it will not be true for them.

The strug­gle of Plu­to, the strug­gle with the Will, is always about
control…Self-Control. You must main­tain your own integri­ty of space as you
respect the sacred spaces of oth­ers too. When­ev­er you find your­self in a
bat­tle, a bat­tle of wills, the only vic­to­ry you should be seek­ing is that of
the Spir­i­tu­al War­rior. The vic­to­ry you tru­ly seek is over your low­er self and
ego, over your own pride and need to be “right”.

Instead, you should always seek to use your will to extend the cir­cle of
under­stand­ing in the world. You need to join in ones and twos and threes, and
be build­ing those rain­bow bridges of sym­pa­thy so that new shared, sacred spaces
of under­stand­ing can be estab­lished, nur­tured and expand­ed. You need to keep
advanc­ing the cause of understanding.…for this is how you dis­pel the shad­ows that come from
fear…

Uranus offers his gift…Think Freely!

Plu­to offers his gift…Create Sacred Space!

Now! It’s up to you!
