The Gift of Respect, The Way of Love

There are Three Lessons in Fire:

In Aries, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Presence.

In Leo, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Authenticity.

In Sagit­tar­ius, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Understanding.

Today you move from the Lunar Waters of Can­cer into the Solar Fires of Leo. Your expe­ri­ence of Can­cer for the past month, (and tru­ly found in each and every day too, since all of these signs are the ever-present, Twelve-Fold Ener­gy-Forms of the Uni­verse), Can­cer has brought you clos­er to the Root of You, to your essen­tial Essence or “Quin­tes­sence”.

Now, hav­ing gone with­in and felt the truth of your “Self that is the Cen­ter”, you have the urgent and irre­press­ible need to release your­self. Through motion, or E‑motion, you out­ward­ly act in ways to ful­fill your­self. You must move from with­in and go out­wards, you must Per­form, (act through a form of self-real­iza­tion, that is to “Per-Form”). You seek to release and so be your­self by Self-Expres­sion, Cre­ativ­i­ty, Lead­er­ship and Love.

This is the realm that is Leo;
This is the Sign of the Sun; This is the place where you “Shine”!

Some­where in your chart you are Leo, and here you will shine always. It is there that you release your Self (what­ev­er is your Sun Sign) in a man­ner that reveals and cel­e­brates the truth that is in and of you.

You have come clos­er to your true self in Can­cer, as you washed your soul in the waters of life, in your roots of remem­brance. Hav­ing felt this, hav­ing yoked your life to your truer self, then you may bring forth by Leo what is a more lov­ing form of you.

Here in Leo, you are chal­lenged, for it is upon you to choose well: “What stage shall I act upon? What role should I act through? What man­ner of expres­sion should I become?”

All the world is a stage, and it waits for you to be you.

And, if you do choose well, then you will find that you are being a bet­ter you, releas­ing and reveal­ing your­self through ever more authen­tic forms of self-expres­sion; you rise into that truer you…and those who wit­ness this will cheer and applaud and say, “I see you!”

And this is what you need, and it is all you have ever want­ed. To be seen for who and what you are is what will bring a smile. You sim­ply want “to be your­self”; and you need to be loved for this too. You need to be appre­ci­at­ed and respect­ed for being exact­ly who (and what) you are.

That is all you and every­one else wants too. And, this is also the les­son of Leo: that for you to be Authen­tic, for you to be seen in your truth, to be tru­ly for who you are, it is equal­ly true that you must do this for oth­ers too. Respect and Love are not demand­ed or tak­en, they are freely giv­en when you are Authen­tic. That is why you will shine even brighter, ever more tru­ly, when you show this same con­sid­er­a­tion of Respect and Love to those who see you in your truth. You reap what you sow, you are what you give:

“I see you; I see you too!”

When you step into the right role, when you act upon the prop­er stage, you become an inspi­ra­tion for others…you become a Star. Your light, your love, shines forth and is returned a thou­sand-fold by those who love you back. You earn respect because you treat oth­ers with respect. Your shin­ing exam­ple inspires oth­ers to believe and be them­selves too, and the world becomes a lit­tle bet­ter, and the light becomes a lit­tle brighter.

You are here to lead by exam­ple, by inspir­ing oth­ers to believe in them­selves too. The world does not need “lead­ers” who think that lead­ing means telling peo­ple “what they should do, or be, or not be”. Lead­er­ship is part of your Spir­i­tu­al core, the know­ing truth that with­in one and all is the self-lumi­nous spark of the Divine.

Spir­it forms in each of us the capac­i­ty to Lead, to know that what peo­ple need is some­one who believes in them. All who tru­ly lead do so through this lov­ing acknowl­edge­ment: That by the sim­ple act of look­ing the oth­er in the eye and say­ing to them: “I see you, I believe in you…and you can do this”. This is “the Way”, and that by doing this you open your heart and theirs to a bet­ter world too.

By rec­og­niz­ing and respect­ing the divin­i­ty in any oth­er you help them and your­self to be, you help one anoth­er “to shine”.

You need to live this Leo part of you every sin­gle day. The way is this, quite simply:

“Love your­self as you love one another.”

By this, you are true to your­self and you encour­age every oth­er to love and believe in them­selves too.

Yes, Leo is about being in touch with the essence of Spir­it; You are here to be a Cre­ator, you are here to Love and be Loved.

Cel­e­brate this time of Leo:

Stretch your­self.

Lead by Example.

Love your­self; and Love one another.

Look one anoth­er in the eye.

See what is look­ing back at you, and smile…

Now, sim­ply say what you see,

Namaste.

The Gift of Security, The Way Home

Fire, Earth, Air…and now Water. These are the four ways of Being. These are the ener­gy-forms of Ide­al­ism, Sub­stance, Thought and Feel­ing. Each is in every part of you, and in every­one and every­thing else too.

These four ener­gy-forms are mod­u­lat­ed through three expres­sions, Car­di­nal, Fixed and Muta­ble. From these Four expressed through these Three are made the Sacred Twelve Ener­gy-Forms. These Twelve Forms of Spir­it are known in the Ancient Teach­ings as the “Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones”, who are the twelve dimen­sions of Cre­ation you know as the Zodiac.

In this Astro­log­i­cal Year, you have aspired by Fire, sub­stan­ti­at­ed in Earth and reflect­ed through Air, and so it is time to “come home once again”, it is time to return to the realm of feel­ings found in the Waters of Cancer.

Yes, it is time to pause once more, at one of the Sacred Four Cor­ners of your jour­ney through Space-Time, to take some time and con­sid­er once again: From whence do you come, whith­er are you going…and most pro­found­ly to con­sid­er it all, why…why are you here?

But of course, the answer to why you are here must bring you to that ulti­mate question:

“Why is this or that, why is any­thing at all?”

And the answer is to be found with­in your heart of hearts, as it is reflect­ed all around you in the min­er­als, ani­mals, and stars and the moon. From down to the most infin­i­tes­i­mal and up to galax­ies and beyond, every­thing is because it is Spir­it. Which means quite sim­ply this: All of this is Alive, because Spir­it is Life, and so all of Cre­ation is the Life of the One…and it is this very same “One” who is the heart of you and you and you.

Your “home”, your “cen­ter” is all around you as it is most cer­tain­ly to be found with­in you too. For “you are all relat­ed”, from the begin­ning to the end, and all your many lives are strung like dia­monds upon a chord or neck­lace of spir­it. And each one of these lumi­nous dia­mond chords weave togeth­er into the rai­ment or body of the One, whose “Cen­ter is every­where and Cir­cum­fer­ence nowhere”. There is but One Spir­it, Omnipresent and Imma­nent in one and all.

In Can­cer, you are to feel this, this root­ed­ness in Cre­ation, to feel con­nect­ed, sur­round­ed, embraced, caressed, nur­tured and loved by Spir­it. Can­cer is about your feel­ing whole for your­self, and yet equal­ly, nec­es­sar­i­ly and inex­tri­ca­bly, you feel you are part of some­thing much greater too. You feel the whole of you, as you feel the one with­in you, and equal­ly your kin­ship with the whole of Cre­ation too.

Depend­ing upon your spir­i­tu­al unfold­ment, qual­i­fied by your self-awak­en­ing, the con­nec­tions and feel­ings you will expe­ri­ence will vary from the most obvi­ous and imme­di­ate to the most sub­lime. For some, it will begin (and end) with Moth­er-Father, Broth­er-Sis­ter, Grand­moth­er-Grand­fa­ther, Aunt-Uncle, that is with the phys­i­cal fact of fam­i­ly and birth in any one life. This is your phys­i­cal truth, you are part of this phys­i­cal fam­i­ly from gen­er­a­tion to generation.

For some, it will extend out­wards, upwards and equal­ly inward­ly as you feel your way to that “Intu­ition­al Know­ing” that we are all broth­ers and sis­ters, and we are in truth to be “all for One and one for All”. For as you go deep­er you feel and find that you come to the very same cen­ter that is there for one and all.

You are here for one anoth­er, because you have been cared for and nur­tured and formed by one anoth­er again and again, in this life and so many lives before. Whether from Father or Moth­er, or Grand­moth­ers and Grand­fa­thers, in your fam­i­ly, tribe or your fam­i­ly of choice, your com­pan­ions whom you call broth­er and sis­ter, from wher­ev­er you feel and find your kin­ship and your truth, you will also know this greater truth that we all are relat­ed as ones of the One.

And as you go deep­er you real­ize that as much as you have risen from the waters of Earth, you have descend­ed from the waters of Space. You are the above and the below, and you are tru­ly a micro­cosm of the Macro­cosm. That is why the key to life, inscribed upon all the Ancient Tem­ples of Truth, the Key to the King­dom of Ever­last­ing Light and Life is to “Know Thy­self”. By self-knowl­edge you also will also obtain the keys to the Knowl­edge of the Universe.

Here in Can­cer you know this, because you feel this. You know beyond words, beyond the bound­aries of intel­lect, as you feel and appre­hend what remains beyond the reach of your ordi­nary under­stand­ing. You know this because it is unde­ni­able, this self-affirm­ing feel­ing of love and car­ing, and this is your true source of secu­ri­ty through­out the ages.

You know because you can feel this truth: that you are nev­er alone, that you will always be cared for, and you will always be nur­tured and wel­comed home again and again by the Divine Love that is the source of you. It is this same Light of Love that forms your heart, and which holds all Cre­ation togeth­er from age to age. And it is this Divine Love which leads you out­ward, to care and nur­ture and hold one anoth­er in the love of kin­ship and fel­low­ship from the begin­ning until the end of Space-Time.

You are all the signs, and some­where in you, in your own astro­log­i­cal chart, there is the space that is Can­cer. This is where you are to be nur­tured and it is where you will nur­ture oth­ers. This is where you will feel the warmth of being part of the One, and know that there is but One who is in us all that prompts us to love one anoth­er as you love yourself.

Cel­e­brate the Sun’s Sol­stice, “the sun stand­ing still”, paus­ing in the heav­ens as the sea­sons turn and your oppor­tu­ni­ty comes once again to decide which path you will fol­low now.

If you would know which way you should go, it would be best to con­sid­er this feel­ing-know­ing from whence you came.

To know, in your heart of hearts the great Truth:

“We are all related”

Fol­low your Heart,

Care for each oth­er; Love one another,

And you will find your way home.

Reminder:

Astrological Observations June 2017 – Donald Trump & James Comey: The Full Moon in Sagittarius & Jupiter Turns Direct 

Today we will con­sid­er the sig­nif­i­cance of today’s Full Moon in Sagit­tar­ius, which just hap­pens to coin­cide with Jupiter, the plan­e­tary ruler of Sagit­tar­ius, return­ing to direct motion.

I thought it would be very illu­mi­nat­ing to con­sid­er this Full Moon and exam­ine Don­ald Trump’s chart, because this is the very same Sun/Moon aspect present at his birth. In a way, once every year, the Sun and Moon will align as they did when you were born, and it is sort of anoth­er moment, much like a “birth­day” for you. For Don­ald Trump, this moment may not be bring­ing the gift that he desires. Indeed, “you reap what you sow”, and what any indi­vid­ual will receive in due time is deter­mined by Spir­i­tu­al Law or Kar­ma, “the law of cause and effect”, and we will see that some­times those effects can return rather swiftly.

It is also quite fit­ting to con­sid­er this Full Moon in com­bi­na­tion with the shift­ing influ­ences of the plan­et Jupiter which is turn­ing direct today. Jupiter is the ruler for Sagit­tar­ius, and quite inter­est­ing­ly that is the Sun sign for James Comey, as well as the sign for Trump’s Moon.

That’s right, James Comey’s Sun is “on” or “in a con­junc­tion with” Don­ald Trump’s Moon, and I will exam­ine that, as well as con­sid­er oth­er sig­nif­i­cant con­nec­tions between their two charts. His­to­ry, or Fate, has brought these two fig­ures into this dra­mat­ic con­fronta­tion, and we should step back and con­sid­er the Uni­ver­sal themes that are being played out for us in this polit­i­cal dra­ma of our age.

Not only is Comey’s Sun on Donald’s Moon, but each other’s Mer­cury (or Minds) are in a chal­leng­ing aspect to one anoth­er. They do not think the same nor would they agree about very much. Not only do their Suns form an oppo­si­tion to one anoth­er, but Comey’s Sat­urn squares Trump’s Jupiter and Comey’s Sat­urn is oppo­site to Trump’s Sat­urn. Yes, between Trump and Comey’s charts we find quite a few chal­leng­ing align­ments (which is not sur­pris­ing), and this has led to a rather dra­mat­ic bat­tle of emo­tion, mind and will from which we can gain insight and understanding.

The uni­verse is always pro­vid­ing lessons for us so that we might grow. The Plan­e­tary lords teach by exam­ple, and we will learn a great deal about Life, Truth and Spir­i­tu­al Integri­ty from observ­ing these two indi­vid­u­als square off against one another.

As before, I will answer your ques­tions dur­ing the show, whether on this sub­ject or some oth­er mat­ter, includ­ing per­son­al ques­tions about your astro­log­i­cal chart. If you do wish to ask a per­son­al ques­tion, please be ready to pro­vide at least your birth date and birth place, and time of your birth if you have that too.

If you wish to sug­gest a sub­ject or top­ic for a future show, please email me as I would be hap­py to hear from you.

Please join me on Fri­day June 9^th at 5 pm as we con­sid­er this chal­leng­ing moment in our country.
