Saturn Turns Direct (June 25, 2012)

Saturn-Direct

The Lord of Real­i­ty turns direct…yes it is that time again…time to make it Real!

Sat­urn turns to make a final move through Libra as he pre­pares for his ren­dezvous with the sign of Scor­pio in Octo­ber. You get one more oppor­tu­ni­ty now to work on your rela­tion­ship pat­terns before you enter into those deep­er depths, those pro­found mys­ter­ies found in the Eighth Sign, the sign of your most pre­cious longing…Union.

For the past sev­er­al months, Sat­urn ret­ro­grade has prompt­ed you to reex­am­ine the nature of your social con­tracts from with­in, to look more close­ly at the rela­tion­ship pat­terns that you actu­al­ly con­tain with­in your­self. By hav­ing this deep­er under­stand­ing of the needs and expec­ta­tions you bring to any rela­tion­ship, you have more clar­i­ty about how you actu­al­ly cre­ate the very rela­tion­ship expe­ri­ences you have.

The only con­trol you can have, the only mas­tery pos­si­ble, is over yourself…you are always on the path towards greater self-mas­tery. If you want to change your expe­ri­ence of rela­tion­ship and so grow your rela­tion­ships, the key is always to real­ize that you must change your pat­tern­ing, which will change all your exist­ing rela­tion­ships as well as lead to all togeth­er new oppor­tu­ni­ties as well.

Now with Sat­urn direct, you can move out and apply this bet­ter under­stand­ing of your­self to the way in which you meet your beloved. You can adjust the out­ward embod­i­ment of your pat­terns of rela­tion­ship and bring new life and mean­ing to your spo­ken and unspo­ken agree­ments between your­self and all others.

You must always do this, each and every day, for your jour­ney as Spir­it requires your greater par­tic­i­pa­tion in the growth of your­self as being part of some­thing greater too. Your ascen­sion in self-under­stand­ing can only become real through a bal­anced, affirmed and glo­ri­fied rela­tion­ship to all who accom­pa­ny you upon this star­ry path of consciousness.

Turn to the Lord of Reality.…

Turn to Sat­urn, your Teacher…

Accept the truth, that you are one of the ones of the One…

That we are all related…that sep­a­ra­tion is the Great Illusion…

Say your Sacred words…

I love you”

And repeat the Ancient refrain…

I am That, I am!”

So be it.

Uranus Square Pluto (June 24, 2012)

Uranus-Pluto

Okay…This, this is the BIG ONE

You are going to be feel­ing it, and deal­ing with it for many, many years to come.

I wrote exten­sive­ly about the Uni­ver­sal-World­ly effects of this mul­ti­ple year dance in my 2012 Gen­er­al Fore­cast. Here it is: 

 

Uranus Square Plu­to (June 24, 2012 & Sep­tem­ber 19, 2012, then May 20, 2013…and beyond)

 

The Cycles of the Out­er Plan­ets — Gifts of the Spirit

The cycles of the 3 out­er­most plan­ets, (Uranus, Nep­tune and Plu­to), their move­ment around the zodi­ac indi­vid­u­al­ly and their inter­sect­ing aspects with one anoth­er, cre­ate fun­da­men­tal and long-wave releas­es of spir­i­tu­al forces, what I like to think of as trans­for­ma­tion­al Gifts of the Spir­it that dri­ve and deter­mine per­son­al and social devel­op­ments for us on Earth.

When we con­sid­er the cycle of each plan­et through the 12 signs of the zodi­ac we can see how each plan­et brings to bear its influ­ence through the mean­ing of that sign for def­i­nite peri­ods. Their cycles are: Uranus approx­i­mate­ly 84 years, or 7 years in a sign; Nep­tune about 164 years, or about 14 years in a sign and Plu­to approx­i­mate­ly 245 years, which because of its high­ly eccen­tric orbit is in a sign for 12 to 32 years. Their orbits form a ratio from Uranus to Plu­to of about 1 to 2 to 3.

When we con­sid­er the rela­tion­ship of these 3 plan­ets to one anoth­er, that is their inter­sect­ing cycles, we have the fol­low­ing cycles of them mov­ing from one con­junc­tion to their next con­junc­tion with one anoth­er: Neptune/Pluto about 492 years; Uranus/Neptune about 172 years; and (the one we are cur­rent­ly sub­ject to) Uranus/Pluto about 110–140 years.

These 3 cycles cre­ate releas­es of dif­fer­ent forms of spir­i­tu­al quick­en­ing for per­son­al and social devel­op­ments here on Earth. Each has its own char­ac­ter and role to play and we have been the recip­i­ents of all 3 releas­ing new seeds of devel­op­ment in the last 100+ years. We expe­ri­enced the longer wave cycle of Nep­tune con­junct Plu­to in 1891–92; we received the sec­ond lev­el release of Uranus con­junct Nep­tune in 1993; and we expe­ri­enced the third lev­el of Uranus con­junct Plu­to in 1965–66.

What we are expe­ri­enc­ing now is the next step of that Uranus/Pluto seed­ing, the unfold­ment of that ini­tial release of spir­i­tu­al ener­gy that we received in 1965–66 has now reached the moment where they are at the point of being one quar­ter the way around their cycle, and we must face choic­es and make decisions.

**As a point of inter­est we should note that the most sig­nif­i­cant align­ment all three plan­ets can have with one anoth­er, their triple or Super Con­junc­tion (all 3 being in the same zodi­a­cal space), which should be con­sid­ered as the most sig­nif­i­cant seed­ing of spir­i­tu­al ener­gies pos­si­ble, last took place about 580 BC. This was of course the peri­od which wit­nessed the spir­i­tu­al teach­ings that were offered to the world by such great souls as Con­fu­cius, Bud­dha, Lao Tzu, Zoroast­er, Pythago­ras and many oth­ers whose wis­dom and influ­ence still guides us today. (If you are curi­ous, the next super con­junc­tion­al release of Spir­it will take place around 3,368).


But let us turn now to our chal­lenge and our opportunity…

 

The Roles of Uranus & Pluto

To meet the chal­lenges and seize the oppor­tu­ni­ties of Uranus square Plu­to we need to under­stand the spir­i­tu­al nature of what their rela­tion­ship cre­ates gen­er­al­ly, and see what their most recent align­ments might pro­vide as insights into our present stage in the ever-unfold­ing becom­ing of our spir­i­tu­al poten­tials. We espe­cial­ly need to under­stand what their last con­junc­tion released, and what we need to do to face the chal­lenge pre­sent­ed by the square we meet now.

The three out­er plan­ets should be viewed as the spir­i­tu­al agents of trans­for­ma­tion; they are emis­saries from the cos­mos that cre­ate the poten­tial for each and every one of us to move beyond our mere con­di­tioned self, the self defined and delim­it­ed by our Sat­urn­ian mold­ings and struc­tures. They do not “cause” our devel­op­ment but serve to elic­it, quick­en and sup­port our spir­i­tu­al unfold­ment and evo­lu­tion, which would even­tu­al­ly unfold since all of “That”, our poten­tial to become, is con­tained with­in our monadic self, but it would devel­op at a much slow­er pace. They are tru­ly Gifts of the Spir­it, lift­ing us up upon that steep­er, truer path of ful­fill­ment. Uranus is said to rule high­er Mind, Nep­tune to rule high­er Love and Plu­to to rule high­er Will. Togeth­er they are said to rep­re­sent the 3 aspects of the Divine work­ing in our world; The Mind, The Love and The Will of the Divine for our Solar System.

This is why the cycle align­ments of Uranus and Plu­to gov­ern the cre­ative, dynam­ic and cathar­tic inter­sec­tions of Mind and Will. It is Uranus’ role to be the instru­ment for the release of new idea forms, (Seed Ideas), that quick­en the devel­op­ment of thought in our world. At its most basic, yet equal­ly most pro­found lev­el, the entire­ty of cre­ation can be seen as pure con­scious­ness. That means that the hier­ar­chies of all forms of exis­tence in this cos­mos, from the small­est to the great­est, are the count­less instances of the uni­verse com­ing to con­scious­ly know itself (“I am THAT, I am!”). But Mind alone is not all…

It is Plu­to’s role to be the instru­ment of form­ing the bound­aries in our Space, the spaces of Space with­in which each Mon­ad unfolds and devel­ops; Plu­to rules the pow­er of the Will which is the pow­er to shape and re-shape (or trans­form) Space itself. From the high­est to the low­est, each mon­ad, each spark of the Divine, unfolds and devel­ops with­in its space with­in Space, yet each mon­ad will always be fun­da­men­tal­ly part of each and every oth­er mon­ad because they have all come from and con­tin­ue their exis­tence in and through the One.

The pro­gres­sive devel­op­ment of each and every mon­ad or spir­it, from the low­est forms of exis­tence to forms beyond our present capac­i­ty to com­pre­hend, requires the bend­ing and trans­form­ing of the spaces of Space for each mon­ad to devel­op with­in. This devel­op­ment of Space, and of the bound­aries between each and every mon­ad’s sacred space of self, is gov­erned by the Will.

Plu­to for us rules this for­ma­tion and trans­for­ma­tion by the will; and in this cycle with Uranus, Plu­to reveals the trans­for­ma­tion­al pow­er of the release of new ideas and new forms of think­ing upon exist­ing struc­tures or spaces.

This is their dynam­ic inter­play: New ideas lead to new spaces and rela­tion­ships for spir­it to devel­op through; but those bound­ed spaces even­tu­al­ly begin to prove lim­it­ing to the fur­ther devel­op­ment of spir­it; and so new idea forms are released to estab­lish new for­ma­tions of space and rela­tion­ships; and so all mon­ads, includ­ing us, can con­tin­ue their unfold­ment through Life-Consciousness-Spirit.

So let us turn to the ques­tion of our time, to see what has been revealed and required by this cycle in the lat­est series of align­ments of Uranus and Plu­to, and what might be in store for us in the next sev­er­al years…

 

The Uranus/Pluto Cycle

To under­stand what is before us we must remem­ber, remem­ber that we have been mov­ing through a series of cycles, and turn­ing points with­in cycles, for a very long time indeed. To tru­ly under­stand where we are now, and what lies ahead, we do need to con­sid­er what we have emerged from.

The Uranus/Pluto square that we face is the next step in a series of seed-forms that was most recent­ly renewed in 1965–66 when Uranus and Plu­to formed their last con­junc­tion in the sign of Vir­go. Much as in their pre­vi­ous con­junc­tions of 1710 in Leo and 1850–51 in Aries, this encounter of Mind and Will brought about a trans­for­ma­tion of thought-forms and spa­tial rela­tion­ships or bound­aries. Cer­tain­ly, any­one present dur­ing the 1960’s or look­ing back upon that peri­od can note the extra­or­di­nary degree to which change erupt­ed across the planet.

Uranus rul­ing Mind (as well as Inde­pen­dence, Free­dom and Inven­tive­ness) when com­bined with and cat­alyzed by Plu­to rul­ing Will (as well as Trans­for­ma­tion, Con­trol and Rebirth) togeth­er quick­ened devel­op­ments in our world in almost every are­na. Tech­no­log­i­cal advances then gave birth to our wired world of today along with med­ical dis­cov­er­ies that have now pushed us to the edge of the pow­er to cre­ate life itself. Per­son­al, social and glob­al trans­for­ma­tions erupt­ed through­out the social sphere as waves of social progress were released for Civ­il Rights, Wom­en’s Rights, the Free Speech & Peace Move­ments and many, many others.

But the com­bi­na­tion of Uranus and Plu­to releas­es ener­gies which form reac­tions that are not uni­di­rec­tion­al; as much as new Ideas and new Spaces emerge at such a time they do so with­in, and often in reac­tion to, the exist­ing par­a­digms of thought and struc­ture. The emer­gent spir­it of “the New” chal­lenges the entrenched spir­it of “the old ways”, and so a strug­gle is waged in all spheres. Whether the forces for change bub­ble up from below, or are imposed from above, equal­ly the push back or resis­tance to change can come from either realm.

As much as the new ideas cre­ate new spaces and new forms of rela­tion­ships, the old order will seek to exert its Free­dom (Uranus) and use exist­ing pow­er (Will/Pluto) to resist and turn back the tides of change. This too is part of the dynam­ic, spi­ral evo­lu­tion of Spir­it, part of the “the plan” so to speak, for as much as there may be tremen­dous gains in doing away with the “old order”, there is much that would be lost and should be pre­served as well. And equal­ly, the mere emer­gence of new ways of think­ing does not in fact mean that it is always “bet­ter”. So, a strug­gle ensues between the forces of transformation/revolution and the forces for preservation/reaction.

What was released by the Uranus/Pluto con­junc­tion in the Six­ties con­tin­ued to work itself through the hier­ar­chies of mate­r­i­al, per­son­al and social orders, trans­form­ing what was, but with ebbs and flows, progress and regres­sions, until we approach the next turn­ing in their cycle…

This is what we have been feel­ing now for the last cou­ple of years, we have been draw­ing clos­er to the next piv­ot point and we have expe­ri­enced a fore­shad­ow­ing, we have felt the head winds blow­ing stronger and stronger as we move to the next fork in our journey…

Now we are here and we should meet with great expectan­cy the next phase of this spir­i­tu­al drama…We face chal­lenges, choic­es and deci­sions and we can no longer post­pone the inevitable…

For this is to be the time in which we choose which future we wish to live in.

 

Uranus in Aries, Plu­to in Capricorn

Uranus in Aries will square Plu­to in Capri­corn from 2012 till 2015. What was released in 1965–66 as a new dis­pen­sa­tion, a new dynam­ic in the rela­tion­ship of Mind and Will, between the Indi­vid­ual Spir­it and the Col­lec­tive Order, will now reach a cross­roads in their dynam­ic dance of Thought and Space.

The last time Uranus and Plu­to squared one anoth­er was 1932 to 1934. Remark­ably, Uranus was in Aries then too, while Plu­to was in the oppo­site sign to now, in Can­cer. That was indeed a time of great chal­lenge and change, but it was a wan­ing square of Uranus/Pluto. A wan­ing square is a time for “decon­struc­tion”; it is a time for a cri­sis of con­scious­ness that expos­es the ideas that must be chal­lenged, test­ed and tran­scend­ed so that bet­ter spaces for spir­i­tu­al growth may develop.

This time we are expe­ri­enc­ing a wax­ing square, so this is a cri­sis of for­ma­tion, a time to make a choice about what to be cen­tered upon, a time to estab­lish deep­er, truer foun­da­tions… it is a time for action. This turn­ing point will build upon the themes that were released at the con­junc­tion (dur­ing the Six­ties), but those themes (and counter-themes) have now reached a crit­i­cal mass. What is put before us, or bet­ter, what we have put before our­selves is a cross­roads which demands that we choose one path or anoth­er. We should look upon it as an oppor­tu­ni­ty for build­ing a New World more than the decon­struc­tion of an Old World.

To under­stand the nature of the chal­lenge and choice we must look to the mes­sage bear­ers of this turn­ing, to jux­ta­pose Uranus in Aries with Plu­to in Capri­corn. By exam­in­ing each plan­et’s func­tion as focused through the sign they are in will guide us to the deep­er mean­ing of this moment.

 

The Two Themes:  Uranus in Aries & Plu­to in Capricorn

Uranus in Aries

Uranus is squar­ing Plu­to from the sign of Aries, so we must under­stand what the mes­sage of Uranus in Aries means. The gen­er­al theme for Uranus in Aries is that this is a time for the resur­gence of Indi­vid­u­al­ism, Ide­al­ism and Inven­tions. Uranus here acts a cat­a­lyst for cre­ativ­i­ty in the sci­ences, arts and social orga­ni­za­tions. Tru­ly it is a time that we expe­ri­ence the re-emer­gence of new forms of true Lead­er­ship as this time calls out for trail-blaz­ers in all walks of life.

Though the past can­not be a per­fect pre­dic­tor of the future, it still can pro­vide some out­line as to the effects of this expe­ri­ence. The last two times for Uranus in Aries were 1843–1851 and 1927–1935. In the 1840’s the US was trans­formed as indi­vid­u­als and fam­i­lies joined togeth­er in a great pil­grim­age across the coun­try to the Cal­i­for­nia and Ore­gon ter­ri­to­ries, which was then great­ly stim­u­lat­ed by the gold rush that began in 1848. The coun­try was being bound togeth­er through the pro­lif­er­a­tion of rail­roads and the inven­tion of the tele­graph. The feel­ing of a spe­cial pur­pose seized many with the claim of a “Man­i­fest Destiny”.

In the late 1920’s into the 30’s Uranus in Aries accom­pa­nied the dev­as­ta­tion wrought by the Great Depres­sion; Uranus helped to bring to a soci­ety and a cul­ture (that need­ed it) a whole range of inven­tive spirit­ed­ness, which led to rev­o­lu­tions in tech­nolo­gies, indus­try and in social orga­ni­za­tions and gov­ern­ment. Again, bold lead­er­ship was need­ed and rose to meet the challenge.

For us now, we can and should hope that as Uranus moves through Aries from 2010–19 that we too will wit­ness the present pauci­ty of lead­er­ship giv­ing way to true lead­ers who inspire us as our cri­sis unfolds. Cer­tain­ly we have already seen numer­ous exam­ples of new forms of leading/organizing emerg­ing in this time. The dra­mat­ic evi­dence of the inter­sec­tion of new forms of con­nect­ing and the desire for greater indi­vid­ual free­doms have been made man­i­fest around the world, from across the Mid­dle East, through Europe (includ­ing Rus­sia now), and on to Amer­i­ca with the Tea Par­ty on one side and Occu­py Wall Street on the oth­er, and fur­ther on across to the rum­blings now com­ing out of China…all across the globe there is a quick­en­ing of the Spirit…and much of that we should know is because Uranus is again in Aries…But of course, there is some­thing more, much more at work on us and in our world at this time.

Plu­to in Capricorn

Plu­to is form­ing its square with Uranus from the sign of Capri­corn, and so just as with Uranus, we must seek to under­stand the expe­ri­ence of what Plu­to in Capri­corn brings. Plu­to rules the Will, the pow­er to shape and re-shape spaces, it rules the pow­er of con­trol; it brings this influ­ence to bear in Capri­corn by either serv­ing to main­tain or trans­form the hier­ar­chi­cal worlds of cul­ture, soci­ety and institutions.

It would seem by look­ing at the his­tor­i­cal record that when­ev­er Plu­to moves through Capri­corn there is a pro­found trans­for­ma­tion, a death and a rebirth, of the cul­tur­al, eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal order.

When Plu­to moves through Capri­corn, which is about every 247 years or so, the insti­tu­tions and hier­ar­chies of a his­tor­i­cal peri­od have reached a turn­ing point where their space and exer­cise of pow­er has start­ed to fall apart, pri­mar­i­ly because new spaces and new pow­ers are emerg­ing. Often this end of an era and the birth of a new, this shift of spir­it, forces the old order, in the attempt to pre­serve that sys­tem, to go to ever greater extremes in the exer­cise of its power…but inevitably the emer­gence of these new forms of orga­ni­za­tion and pow­er bring about its trans­for­ma­tion or demise.

We can obtain some idea of the his­tor­i­cal pow­er of this pas­sage by look­ing back at the two most recent times Plu­to was in Capri­corn, 1515–1532 and 1762–1778. In the ear­ly 1500’s the Euro­pean world was in the throes of one of its most his­toric changes in over 1,000 years, the one church, the Catholic Church, which had been weak­ened by scan­dal inter­nal­ly as much as it was chal­lenged by the new­ly avail­able print­ed bible exter­nal­ly, was bro­ken apart by the Ref­or­ma­tion. The attempt by the Catholic King­doms to main­tain their pow­er led to dev­as­tat­ing wars between them and those who broke away to form Protes­tant realms. The old order, with its feu­dal sys­tem based on land­ed pow­er and the one Catholic Church was giv­ing way to the rise of absolute mon­archs accom­pa­nied by a new eco­nom­ic order empow­er­ing a grow­ing mer­can­tile class.

In the 1700’s colo­nial enter­pris­es of Eng­land in Amer­i­ca, the grow­ing imbal­ances between gov­erned and gov­er­nor were becom­ing increas­ing­ly unten­able. New forms of free asso­ci­a­tions were spread­ing in the New World, seed­ed by new ideas about the nature of Pow­er (Will) and Space (New Lands) as well as a new, more dynam­ic eco­nom­ic way of life. The old order attempt­ed to rein­force its con­trol over the colonies which led to protests, which led to fur­ther repres­sion, and even greater protests until a clash between Monar­chy and indi­vid­u­als in free asso­ci­a­tions led to the estab­lish­ment of a tru­ly new form of gov­ern­ment that became the mod­el for our cul­tur­al, eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal world… and that mod­el, that arrange­ment of Pow­er and Space is what is now com­ing to its end…

Three years ago, in 2008, Plu­to began its next jour­ney through Capri­corn and it will remain there now till 2024. And just as in the 1500’s and in the 1700’s a world will pass away and a new one will be born…And even more now, as Uranus and Plu­to line up in a series of squares between 2012 and 2015, this decon­struc­tion of an old order and the emer­gence of a new will most cer­tain­ly become very, very real.

The winds of change are blowing…and we must choose our path…

Remem­ber­ing that beat­en paths are for beat­en people…

This is our time…

And it is time for bright stars and trail blaz­ers again!

 

Uranus/Pluto Square 2012–2015

So we find our­selves at the inter­sec­tion of sev­er­al sig­nif­i­cant streams of Spir­i­tu­al forces, influ­ences that will pro­vide the inspi­ra­tion and artic­u­late the chal­lenges we now encounter. (Though, of course, the form and con­tent of what we now expe­ri­ence which is seem­ing­ly “pre­sent­ed” to us, the “facts” of our sit­u­a­tion, is the man­i­fest­ed con­se­quence of the choic­es we made before, of what we have done and so made by our pre­vi­ous steps in this jour­ney in Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it). What we have are 3 major influ­ences that are com­bined and cat­alyzed togeth­er by the sec­ond of the three: 1) Uranus in Aries which we have not expe­ri­enced for 75 years, 2) The Uranus/Pluto wax­ing square which we have not expe­ri­enced for 135 years and 3) (the “big one”) Plu­to in Capri­corn which we have not expe­ri­enced for 247 years.

As before the avatars of Mind (Uranus) and Will (Plu­to), the car­ri­ers of Seed Ideas and Sacred Space have come to a turn­ing point. As in those pre­vi­ous eras with Plu­to in Capri­corn, we find with­in our­selves and in all sec­tors of our cul­ture and soci­ety, that there exists an over­whelm­ing sense that the world is not “right”. In realms both Tem­po­ral and Sec­u­lar, the dis­con­nec­tion between elites and the gen­er­al pop­u­lace has widened, and that the yawn­ing gulf between lead­ers and led is grow­ing ever greater. In fact the feel­ing amongst many is that lead­er­ship, true lead­er­ship has some­how “left the planet”.

Whether with­in any one coun­try or around the world, the inces­sant, increas­ing expe­ri­ence of dis­ap­point­ment is felt by almost all…that every struc­ture, insti­tu­tion, stan­dard or val­ue has become com­pro­mised; whether that loss of cred­i­bil­i­ty or virtue is encoun­tered in Reli­gion, or Edu­ca­tion, or Gov­ern­ment, or in the sim­ple promise of a bet­ter world for one’s chil­dren and their children…all of it seems with­out hope…and there is a great longing…

And so it is pre­cise­ly in times such as this, when a great empti­ness and loss of hope begins to take hold in the world…it is pre­cise­ly at such a time that Spir­it answers…It moves into our emp­ty spaces and trou­bled minds…It lifts up our hearts and awak­ens the spir­it with­in and reminds us all that we can change…and then, as if by “mag­ic”, we do change and renew our world. Spir­it does this pre­cise­ly as we move into and through the cri­sis because it is that very cri­sis which cat­alyzes each and every indi­vid­ual to turn around, to turn and to make the nec­es­sary sac­ri­fices which must be made to bring about a New World again.

The signs of the unrav­el­ing of the old are more than self-evident…but so too are the signs and por­tents of the emerg­ing ways that are lead­ing to the New World. As indi­vid­u­als and groups of indi­vid­u­als seek to real­ize their dreams with new inten­tions and means, and seek equal­ly to cope with the fail­ures of the sys­tems they are cur­rent­ly cir­cum­scribed by, we can dis­cern the out­lines of new Ways of Think­ing and new Spaces of Being.

 

And so we must each ask our­selves, what can I do?

First, in order to be guid­ed by the high­est influ­ences, in order to fol­low Spir­it and your heart, do not be deceived or con­fused by the myr­i­ad ways that the old order dis­tracts and divides. Remem­ber always that the one true source of pow­er in this Uni­verse is with­in you…and you, and you. It is not “out there”, it is “in here” and also with­in any­one beside you.

But that is also and always where the real strug­gle is met. It is not the fault or fail­ing of a kind of gov­ern­ment or pol­i­tics, it is not the fault of the church or a faith…Do not let fetishism or the pro­jec­tion upon some­thing or some­one else con­fuse you as to where “the prob­lem” is…For every­thing in this world that seems to be fail­ing, every insti­tu­tion, every struc­ture and way of life…everything is what it is because it is giv­en life by each and every one of us…

We must change and we shall change…and so will our world.

 

Time for Action:

We are at a turn­ing. Some have called it “The Fourth Turn­ing”. Some have called it the “End of Times”…but we are at our moment of oppor­tu­ni­ty to build a New World and offer to those that fol­low us a bet­ter world than we could have imagined.

This is our time to choose, to ask of our self, “What is the greater good for all?”…

And then to sim­ply do that!

This is the time for Heroes and Heal­ers, Doers and Leaders.

This is Our Time to Become the Becoming…

And, it is your time to shine!

 

Sun Trine Neptune (June 23, 2012)

Sun-and-Neptune2

Dream on Dream­er…
It is your Cre­ation, after all…
For you are the Dream­mak­er, you the Dreamwalker!

You are the Dream­er-Cre­ator mov­ing through this space, mov­ing through this Real­i­ty. This world, this real­i­ty you forged before…you and count­less oth­ers helped to cre­ate these worlds long, long ago.

Some­times when you con­sid­er your beau­ti­ful vision, when you go back and remem­ber that dream, it can seem so far, far away. It is lost in the dark clouds of doubt, anx­i­ety and fear of the obscur­ing present…so that you feel as if you can­not believe in that dream…you find your­self bound­ed and eclipsed as you walk in a real­i­ty of grays and shadows…

But today, today is a day to walk upon that Rain­bow Bridge, that leaps across the span between your imag­i­na­tion and your reality…today Heav­en kiss­es the Earth as you find that your path­way of Illu­mi­na­tion is joined to the road of your Realization.

Today the Sun (your pure poten­tial to be) aligns with Nep­tune (your imag­i­na­tion and dreams) so that you can more clear­ly pierce beyond this dim-lit illu­sion, your so-called “reality”…and you rise into a greater under­stand­ing, rejoic­ing in your time­less one­ness with all of Cre­ation. You find your hopes and dreams are indeed well-founded…for you walk the path of Cre­ation and your Dream­ing-Believ­ing is the foun­tain-source for the worlds that are yet to be.

Today is a day to cel­e­brate your Imagination…

Today is a day to believe in your Dreams…

Today you walk the path of the Creator…

You the Dream­er, dream­ing into being…

What will be, will be…

This is your time to believe…

Dream On!

Sun Enters Cancer — Summer Begins (June 20, 2012)

Cancer3a

The Wheel of Life turns…Your next chap­ter begins…And you pause, and you ponder…where does your sto­ry take you now, what realm of life, what dis­cov­er­ies and what won­ders await, and what life lessons do you face on the path ahead…what waits for you beyond this threshold?

You have come to anoth­er crossing…you are back again at one of the four great turn­ing points in the year…For each sea­son begins with a release, each quar­ter starts in one of the four Sacred Elements…and each sea­son starts with a Car­di­nal sign, a sign of beginnings.

You began the year 3 months ago in Fire, as you moved into the greater aware­ness of your Pres­ence…You then moved into Earth, going with­in your­self to embrace more tru­ly what you have, to make real your Val­ue. Final­ly, you entered Air, mov­ing out again to extend your under­stand­ing of the worlds around you, rev­el­ing in your most pre­cious gift of Intel­li­gence.

So you won­der, what now, what is this sen­sa­tion that you feel? Well it is exact­ly that! Because now you begin again, now you move into Water, now you move through the won­drous realm of Feel­ing. You move inward again, to seek for your Center…You need to bring all of your­self togeth­er now, you need to feel Whole, to be con­nect­ed with­in and with­out by an ener­gy that words can nev­er describe…and your turn to where it all began…you bring your­self Home.

Can­cer rules your Foundations…Cancer rules your Roots. You need to feel that you are part of some­thing greater, that you come from some­where, that you belong to something…and that this makes your life mean­ing­ful. You plant your feet firm­ly upon this path you share with those who trav­el with you, your Fam­i­ly, your Friends and you give and receive for one another…because…because you Care…For you are Spir­it, and you care for one another.

You nour­ish your­self by con­nect­ing with your past and you nour­ish oth­ers by car­ing for them here and now. You take your com­fort, you find your peace­ful place, in the feel­ing that you are you, whole and com­plete, cen­tered upon your truer self. Yet you are also you because you are one of count­less ones, who trav­el with­in a great jour­ney of light, of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it, seek­ing to Know and Feel and Will into being the very Real­i­ty that is this, your Universe.

You are you because you belong to one anoth­er and you jour­ney togeth­er to a great, great destiny…You nur­ture your­self, you nur­ture one another…You Care for One Another…You are Cared for.

It is time, time to come home…

It is time to remem­ber, where you come from…

It is time to Stand upon your Rock of Ages…

As you look to the Stars…as you look upon your Destiny…

It is time, it is time…

To Come Home!

 

New Moon in Gemini (June 19, 2012)

Galactic-Center-at-1-am-on-June-20-23,-2012
Around Mid­night June 20–23, 2012

Well this is Special…Two New Moons in Gem­i­ni! On May 20, the Sun entered Gem­i­ni and there was a New Moon on that very same day as well.

Now you get a sec­ond release of Gem­in­ian inspi­ra­tion, per­haps you should see your­self mov­ing through anoth­er Por­tal, (but this time it is a “Por­tal of Depar­ture” from the Airy realm of Gem­i­ni). The Sun slips into the Water sign of Can­cer tomor­row, the sign that rules your Home and your Origins…and life offers you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to give a hearty wel­come to a whole new sea­son of your life!

The fun­ny thing about a New Moon is that for you, here on Earth, the expe­ri­ence is one of mov­ing into a time of dark­ness, you expe­ri­ence the Moon’s presence…by her absence. That is because the Sun and Moon are in the same part of space dur­ing a New Moon, and so when the Sun sets so does the Moon…there is “no Moon” for you to see. But those Star­ry Heav­ens above stand revealed in all their glo­ry for you…and at this time of year it is a very spe­cial sight indeed!

This dark­ness con­tains a Great Light…it is a won­drous revelation…This Light shin­ing in the dark­ness pro­vides you with a very spe­cial and excel­lent oppor­tu­ni­ty. Six months ago, I wrote about the Sun pass­ing over that point in space around which every­thing in our galaxy piv­ots, the Galac­tic Cen­ter. Tonight (and for sev­er­al nights to come), you will have a most won­der­ful oppor­tu­ni­ty to look up at the sky and gaze upon that Galac­tic Cen­ter itself!

Prob­a­bly the best time is around 12 to 1 am when it is most high. By fac­ing south and look­ing up you will see splashed across your field of vision what has been called “The Milky Way”, which is formed by all the stars and gas­es between you on Earth and the Galac­tic Cen­ter. You will see a non-blink­ing “Star” to your right, which is actu­al­ly the plan­et Sat­urn set­ting in the West. By look­ing to its left and up just a lit­tle, you will notice that the Milky Way is most “thick” and “brighter” there…and that is the Galac­tic Center…your home.

For ages upon ages ago, you and every oth­er being in this cos­mos emerged from that point to begin a great journey…You came from this “Cen­tral Star”, stream­ing forth with all your fel­low trav­el­ers upon this great adven­ture of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it. You, and every­one and every­thing in this galaxy are sparks of this one Divine Cen­ter, each and every one a con­scious­ness cen­ter, whirling through Time and Space as you unfold your potential…as you Cre­ate Real­i­ty and rise to a Greater Understanding.

So, go out tonight and gaze up in won­der and in awe…

For before you is your home, before you is your destiny…

You came from the Stars…

You are made of the Stars…

Your destiny…is to become a Star.

Shine On!
