Now you feel the need for a deep­er com­mit­ment; it is time for a more numi­nous expe­ri­ence of being one with the uni­verse (and your beloved). Venus moves into Pisces for the next 3 weeks and the mag­i­cal, mys­te­ri­ous and sub­lime are call­ing you to let go of the less­er and dis­cov­er the greater life with­in and without.

Venus in Pisces opens your heart to the great­est Truth, that all of life-cre­ation has emanat­ed from one Spir­it-Source. You look upon any oth­er… and you look upon your­self. The Great Souls who have achieved enlight­en­ment, who have come to their ful­fill­ment in the human form, do not leave behind those of us still seek­ing to find our way. They ful­ly under­stand, and so they must abide. They stand by the thresh­old; they extend their hand in com­pas­sion, sac­ri­fice and so wait for you… and there is no greater love than this.

So, dur­ing this time of Venus in Pisces, you too must do your part. Fol­low the path of truth, the path that con­nects each and every one to anoth­er. You must sac­ri­fice some­thing less­er and hon­or that which is greater with­in yourself. 

Take a step toward that thresh­old of enlight­en­ment, to that love and under­stand­ing, which waits for you… your destiny.

Venus returns to the Sea as Aphrodite aligns with Posei­don. Cre­ativ­i­ty and love surge as the dreams, visions and imag­i­na­tive pow­er of Nep­tune joins with the plan­et of beau­ty, grace and relationship.

Venus rules your val­ue sys­tem; it indi­cates what you like and how you love. The key to this is the val­ue you have and hold for yourself…your “self worth”. Your men­tal and phys­i­cal strengths, your aes­thet­ic and moral sen­si­bil­i­ties, com­bine to cre­ate your val­ue of your­self. The more you know of your­self, the more you pos­sess your “self”; and to that same extent you will then have a bet­ter rela­tion­ship with the things and lives of the world around you.

The gift of the con­junc­tion of Venus with Nep­tune is that you can re-imag­ine your worth or val­ue; you can dis­solve a less­er sense of self and dis­cov­er a greater, more inclu­sive expe­ri­ence of your­self that has always been possible.

It is true that you are lim­it­ed at any point in your life by your expe­ri­ence of what you have been able to under­stand, exer­cise and make man­i­fest of your poten­tial. But with the gift of Nep­tune to inspire you, through its gifts of dream, imag­i­na­tion and faith, you can free your­self from this lim­it­ed real­i­ty by return­ing you to the spir­i­tu­al well-spring, the spir­i­tu­al uni­verse of all those poten­tials that are with­in you.

There is mag­ic with­in you; it is the gift of the cre­ative spir­it and it is your birthright. Now let Nep­tune and Venus illu­mi­nate your path and bring you to a greater faith and a deep­er love. Be a cre­ator, be yourself!

Now, at the begin­ning of the year, there comes a flash, a spark of divine intel­li­gence, to light your way ahead.

Some­times Spir­it speaks with a soft voice, like a feath­er’s caress, gen­tly open­ing your heart and mind to the greater real­i­ty. But some­times it comes with thun­der, and bolts of light­ning announc­ing “Behold the New Day”! This is the way of Uranus.

Uranus is “The Awak­en­er” who comes to help you break free from a less­er sense of self. The Sun is the self, the source of all that you can be. But often you hold back and fail to express your greater indi­vid­u­al­i­ty because of con­di­tion­ing and fear. The poten­tial is with­in you, you can feel it, but you draw back from the light into the shadows.

Uranus quick­ens the spir­i­tu­al process of indi­vid­u­a­tion. Lim­it­ing pat­terns of thought and action are shat­tered by the aware­ness it bestows. Uranus lights the way to your true spir­i­tu­al self, and by this illu­mi­na­tion you inte­grate and so release your greater self into your life.

You are able to be more than your con­di­tion­ing because you are a spark of the divine. When that real­iza­tion of your spir­i­tu­al her­itage is secured, your life becomes part of a greater life, like a melody with­in the greater Song of Spirit.

Uranus aligned with the Sun calls upon you to free your­self from fear, to break the pat­terns that bind you, so that you can be true to yourself.

Remem­ber, you are here to answer a cos­mic ques­tion posed at your birth. It is by the release of your true poten­tial that you become the answer.

Aries is the first Sign; it is the sign of Incar­na­tion. The focus of life is on “Being­ness”. Emerg­ing from the sac­ri­fice and sur­ren­der of Pisces, the soul seeks to become itself pure and sim­ple now. The words you speak and all that you do echo pure­ly and sim­ply, “I am”.

Here at the equinox, of equal day and night, you cel­e­brate the return of light, love and new life. You feel the tides of the cos­mos pulling you toward greater self-real­iza­tion, deter­mi­na­tion and the cel­e­bra­tion of your unique spir­it. You have fin­ished your jour­ney of yes­ter­days; you have your har­vest of under­stand­ing to guide you. Now turn and move into the light that is with­out form and bring it into focus. 

Dar­ing, dash­ing and fear­less you face the ris­ing Sun of New Begin­nings. The promise of Spir­it is ever found in the eter­nal Now. Guid­ed by the forces of Light in their ascen­dan­cy you go forth “to be” again.

Fol­low your wax­ing Star as the days grow longer and shad­ows melt away. Rejoice in the return of light to the world.

Full Moon Madness.…on the thresh­old of the New Year! The Astro­log­i­cal Year starts tomor­row as the Sun moves into Aries and spring begins. But before you leap into the future you need to look in the mir­ror of the Moon and see the reflec­tion of your year just ending.

This is the real “Har­vest Moon”; this is the har­vest of Spir­it. The Sun is in Pisces, it is the time for dreams, imag­i­na­tion and the faith that makes pos­si­ble your growth beyond your present crys­tal­lized real­i­ty. The Moon is in Vir­go, and reminds you that your dreams must take form, become crys­tal­lized, if they are to be real in this phys­i­cal world. Now you must face it, your dream and your life, the vision and the manifestation.

Look west towards the foun­tain source of your dreams as the Sun sets in Pisces; then turn and face the east and see the life you have made so far as the Moon in Vir­go ris­es. How do they relate to one anoth­er? Have you cre­at­ed well?  Do Dream and Real­i­ty reflect your soul’s pur­pose; do you see your­self in your creation?

Now, take out your scythe, it is har­vest time. It is time to reap what you have sown. Do not con­cern your­self with things, they will only pass away. This is a spir­i­tu­al har­vest and what mat­ters is meaning.

See what you have learned, not earned. Cel­e­brate your greater wis­dom for it is your soul’s trea­sure. Sep­a­rate out the grain of under­stand­ing from the husk of appear­ances and then turn to the next day, a new day…the day of New Beginnings.

From the seed that is the har­vest of the year just lived, plant the new under­stand­ing in your life that is to be…you are the cre­ator and reaper. So be it.
