Sun Enters Taurus (April 19, 2014)

Taurus3

There is but One Life…All is Sacred.

There is but One Light…Pure Consciousness.

There is but One Truth…Unconditional Love.

Through­out your jour­ney, in Life after Life, in year after year, and in day after day, you expe­ri­ence these Three-in-One Prin­ci­ples in this world of Spir­it-Mat­ter. Your Life is real­ly about your Jour­ney as Con­scious­ness in which you expe­ri­ence and make your world through the Twelve Facets of the One Light. You expe­ri­ence this Cre­ation with and through the Twelve Rays that form the Hier­ar­chies of Life-Con­scious­ness Spir­it. You live these Twelve mod­u­la­tions of the One Ener­gy of Spir­it in, through and by the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac.

All Twelve Signs are active all the time, both around you in what I call the “Liv­ing Chart of the Now”, and as embod­ied and ener­gized through the var­i­ous facets of your being too. But these Twelve com­bine in delight­ful­ly dif­fer­ent ways to pro­duce what every­thing is…That every snowflake or tree or dol­phin or human or plan­et or star is unique…Every par­ti­cle or mote, from every Infin­i­tes­i­mal on up to this Galaxy and beyond in this Cos­mos, each is a tru­ly Indi­vid­ual instance and expres­sion of the One True Spirit.

In your year­ly jour­ney through the Signs, as the Sun illu­mines one facet of Spir­i­tu­al Truth after anoth­er, you can and should attune your­self to this unfold­ing Song of Life because it is your song too. Yes, you may be a “Gem­i­ni” or a “Leo” or “Scor­pio” as fig­ured by the day upon which you took your first breath, but you are much, much more than this, as you well know.

All the signs sing with­in you! And, you need to lis­ten when the Sun sings through each song for you again, because you can and should par­take of this if you wish to live a live that is Full, a life that is True, a Life as you are meant to live it, as one of the ones of the One.

Today the Song of Aries is giv­ing way to the next Song of Spir­it. Now is the time of Tau­rus and you need to bring out this Sec­ond Song of Spir­it that is also part of you.

You have met and answered again the ques­tion that is Aries: “Who are you? How do you present your­self, how do you look, what is your demeanor, what is your atti­tude, (and from which all of this comes), What is your Inten­tion?” The Ques­tion of Aries is the ques­tion of your Pres­ence, for it is from how you begin or start any­thing, from that form of Ener­gy-Mat­ter that your put forth in that first moment, from this all else will fol­low. Your Pres­ence is your Alpha, and it will lead to your Omega too.

You move through the Sec­ond Por­tal of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it, and you must lis­ten to the Divine who is with­in you, to your High­er Self who is lead­ing you onward and upward. Now you must answer this most pro­found ques­tion: “What are you? What are you made of, what do you Pos­sess? What do you bring to this world, what will you Make of Your Self…What is the Val­ue of you?”

Your under­stand­ing and expres­sion of this Val­ue is to be found in your Ori­gin. At the heart of you, in your Inner­most, you are Spark of the Divine. You are a Self-Aware Con­scious­ness-Cen­ter that is slow­ly but sure­ly com­ing into the exer­cise of your true nature. You are a Being of Light who has descend­ed through these var­i­ous worlds of increas­ing den­si­ty in order to bring your light and under­stand­ing into this realm of Mat­ter-Forms, and by so doing you will lift them and your­self up and back towards the Light.

You are here to Cre­ate, to lift your­self and this Cre­ation to a high­er plane of being, and you do this because you are here for one true Rea­son, you have guid­ing you one Fun­da­men­tal and pre­cious Pur­pose, you are here because of Love…you are here to Love.

In all your forms, in all your Thoughts, Feel­ings and Actions, in all that you were, are and are yet to be, there is one Gold­en Thread that binds you to one anoth­er and to all Cre­ation too…

You are a pre­cious spark of the ONE.

You are a Divine Being in training…

You are here to live in Beauty…

You are here to Light the Way…

You are here to Sing one Song…

You are here to Sing of Love.

Mercury Opposite Mars (April 16, 2014)

2014-Grand-Cardinal-Cross-Mercury

Mer­cury, the winged-foot mes­sen­ger of the Gods,

Links the Super­nal realms above,

With these less­er realms below.

His Caduceus of Consciousness,

Twin Ser­pents climb the rod.

Reveal­ing and Con­ceal­ing, for it is

A mys­tic sym­bol, of Ancient Truths.

It is the Promise of your Awakening,

For your Self-Becom­ing was foretold.

Today your Ser­vant of the Light, the Lord Mer­cury, aligns with the Fourth and final cor­ner of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross. You have already received his three pre­vi­ous gifts:

From Jupiter, you were remind­ed that you will find your Cen­tered Space with­in the Ancient Truths that have always held you to your true Path and Des­tiny; from Uranus, you were remind­ed that you have the Jew­el of Self-Tran­scen­dence with­in your own High­er Mind; and from Plu­to you were remind­ed that you are to use your Will in order to form your own Sacred Cen­ter as you also pro­tect all of Sacred Space.

From Jupiter you touched the Roots of Truth, from Uranus you touched the Wis­dom with­in, and from Plu­to you touched your Pow­er to Become…and now there remains but one guardian, one last bless­ing on this Car­di­nal Cross of Con­scious­ness, now it is time to lis­ten to Mars.

Mars is your Avatar of Action and Inten­tion. He moves with you through Time & Space as you stir the Waters of Life, as you Cre­ate these worlds with your Heart and Mind. He is the Pas­sion­ate Plan­et, he is your source of becom­ing, he is your Desire.

For in “the begin­ning” there is and will always be the One, unman­i­fest, THAT, pure poten­tial “wait­ing” out­side of Time and Space…and then, the Desire to become stirs, the One becomes Man­i­fest, and the One becomes the many, and this Cos­mos comes into being, again.

You are a most impor­tant part of that becom­ing, of that Jour­ney of Spir­it and Life. And in your heart of hearts, in the Spark of the Divine that is your inmost, that same Desire to be, that same insis­tent dri­ve to become is there…For you are here for one rea­son, you are dri­ven by one pur­pose as is all of this mar­velous Creation…You are here quite sim­ply for this, you are here To Grow.

Today your Avatar of Mind stands oppo­site to your Avatar of Desire, and you need to con­sid­er them as they are and are meant to be. You are to hold them togeth­er for they are nec­es­sary to each oth­er. You need to under­stand how they each are inte­gral to one anoth­er as you jour­ney on this path­way of Light.

For you will find in your many forms, expe­ri­ences and lives, that Action with­out Thought­ful guid­ance will lead to pain and suf­fer­ing for your­self and oth­ers. But equal­ly you will find that Knowl­edge and Under­stand­ing for them­selves are not enough, for you are here to become, you are here to Cre­ate and so you must Act too.

The Inte­gral rela­tion­ship of Mer­cury and Mars is how you learn to Mas­ter a most basic part of how you make and remake your­self and your worlds. That it is from Right Think­ing that you will bring about Right Action…But it is equal­ly true, that it is by Right Action that you lift your­self and your Mind from these realms below to the Star­ry realms above.

It is a most del­i­cate balance,

To mas­ter your Mind and your Desires too.

But you are here to learn,

Through the one Law, Kar­ma, Cause and Effect.

You will learn by thought­ful actions,

To make your world and yourself,

Into your Heart’s Desire.

Full Moon Total Eclipse in Libra (April 14–15, 2014)

Libra-Full-Moon-Eclipse

The Mag­is­te­r­i­al dance of the Planets,

Sweeps through your Heav­ens above.

Singing and Danc­ing, their Songs of Spirit,

Offer­ing Gifts of Meaning,

By their Intri­cate, Inter­con­nect­ed Patterns,

Of Light and Grace and Love.

Tonight, your Star and Moon join with you on Earth, to put on a spe­cial show of mean­ing for you. It is a beau­ti­ful reminder of how intri­cate, inter­con­nect­ed and syn­chro­nized are the count­less lives of each and every being who share this Sacred Space you trav­el in, named for your Sun, what you call your “Solar System”.

Twice a year the Sun, Earth and Moon will come into align­ment with one anoth­er. Tonight the Moon will be posi­tioned so that the Earth­’s shad­ow will block the Sun’s light for a short while (and the Moon will glow instead with the reflec­tive light that arcs around the Earth). It is called a Full Moon Total Eclipse and here is what I wrote about it in the Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2014:

Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse (April 14–15)

The first Eclipse of the year is a total eclipse of the Moon in Libra. The shad­ow of the Earth falls across the face of the Moon, and the Mes­sage of Mean­ing you would nor­mal­ly seek and find as revealed to you by Luna is obscured by some shad­ow formed by your present cir­cum­stance (Earth­’s shad­ow being the “Present” dims the Illu­mi­na­tion of the Moon). You will have to more deeply exam­ine the inte­gral rela­tion­ship between the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra.

Here is infor­ma­tion about the Eclipse and where it will be vis­i­ble. The West­ern Hemi­sphere, both North and South Amer­i­ca, will be able to view this eclipse.

Every Full Moon is a mes­sage of rela­tion­ship, for it artic­u­lates the inte­gral mean­ing found between the Sun’s ener­gies that are being focused through one Sign being coun­ter­point­ed (and this is the point), coun­ter­bal­anced by the oppo­site Sign’s mean­ing held by the Moon.

As the Sun swings through any Sign there is ten­den­cy to empha­size that facet of Spir­i­tu­al Truth over any oth­er. There is a need, a neces­si­ty that Spir­it will respond with so as to bring in the oppos­ing ener­gy of point of view. There is the Desire of Spir­it to restore bal­ance and equi­lib­ri­um to this Jour­ney of Ener­gies, to this Sto­ry of Light and Love.

But when there is an Eclipse of the Moon, the mes­sage that is there is some­what hid­den, for some­thing has got­ten in the way…the Earth! The shad­ow of the present day (which is where you are on Earth), is some­what block­ing the mean­ing that is need­ed in order to bal­ance and inte­grate the Sun’s ener­gies with the Moon’s answer­ing song. You will need to dig a lit­tle deep­er, think a lit­tle hard­er to see and feel the Truth that dear Luna offers you now.

The Sun is in Aries, and those Indi­vid­u­al­iz­ing, Inde­pen­dent and Self-Assertive ener­gies have been wax­ing strong­ly. That is why you have the need of the Moon, who rules your Mem­o­ry and the Past. The Moon is there now to bring to you the Gift of Remem­brance that is focused through the Way of Libra now:

That although your Song of Aries sings of you as a pre­cious one, a tru­ly unique Spark of the Divine (and you are that), you are also and equal­ly one of count­less, many oth­er ones too. That your Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty is only made True by your life that you share in as a life you live togeth­er, that you are here for one anoth­er, that you are here because of Love.

That it is in, by and through your rela­tion­ships that you have been formed into what you are, and it is through this intri­cate Dance of Spir­it, of won­drous inte­con­nect­ed rela­tion­ships, it is by this Liv­ing-Lov­ing expe­ri­ence that you will even­tu­al­ly become a Shin­ing Star in a Space filled with all your fel­low Stars.

The Full Moon of Libra reminds you…

That you are One,

And you are Many.

All held together,

By Love.

Mercury Square Jupiter & Mercury Conjunct Uranus & Mercury Square Pluto (April 14–15, 2014)

2014-Grand-Cardinal-Cross-Mercury

The ful­crum of 2014 draws closer…

Deci­sions, choic­es, challenges…they

Are all around you.

Behind, before, above and below you,

But most espe­cial­ly, the ones that count

Are always found within.

Many oth­ers will pull and push upon you,

You may become confused,

Or you may become disillusioned.

But all you need remember,

Is that always and forever,

There is a calm, qui­et sanctuary,

A source of love and light for you.

When­ev­er you become unsure,

As you seek The Way,

Just lis­ten to that gen­tle, lov­ing voice within.

Your true Self is there,

With you for­ev­er and always.

The kind­ly lov­ing “Voice of the Silence” is there,

And you will remem­ber, oh yes you will know,

What is right and what is wrong.

For in the end, there is no oth­er way,

To Love or not”,

That is the only question.

Remem­ber this one Truth,

Be at Peace and be assured,

You true Self, your Beloved will for­ev­er keep you,

Cen­tered, safe and loving,

In your walk among the Stars.

The Dance of the Plan­ets is build­ing to a most seri­ous and aus­pi­cious crescen­do. Though many voic­es will be heard preach­ing and pre­dict­ing the very worse, (and some­times more that this!), you should know that these align­ments are not excep­tion­al, they are most cer­tain­ly not “bad” (or “good” for that matter).

These kind or type of align­ments have and will hap­pen again and again. All that mat­ters for you, all that you are here to learn is how to Mas­ter your­self. For it is from your degree of Spir­i­tu­al Aware­ness, it is from your pre­sid­ing lev­el of self-con­scious­ness, self-con­trol and self-deter­mi­na­tion, that you fash­ion your life from what­ev­er is flow­ing around and from with­in you. For it is you who forges your Real­i­ty, and your Future too. Remem­ber, these ener­gies that sweep around you in the Star­ry spaces above are no more or less than the awe­some pow­ers that reside with­in you as well, “For as above, so below”. Be not afraid and choose to be who you real­ly are, always choose Love.

Remem­ber, no one can say when you will awak­en to the Greater Aware­ness, and so live in the Truer Real­i­ty that is with­in and around you too. But as you slow­ly begin to par­tic­i­pate more con­scious­ly in lift­ing your­self (and so your world) to a more cre­ative and lov­ing space, so too will these awe­some ener­gies that are the true you be put to a more cre­ative and lov­ing purpose.

What you have and need to do always, (as a more or less self-con­scious, self-aware spir­it that is learn­ing to be a con­sid­er­ate, lov­ing co-cre­ator of this Cos­mos of Won­der) is this:

You have a respon­si­bil­i­ty to choose how you will use your Pow­er, you have to stay focused and cen­tered and not be con­fused or dis­tract­ed by those who tell you that things “hap­pen to you”, that you have no choice, when in fact it is you as a Liv­ing Spir­it that is help­ing to make it all hap­pen. And know too, that when sev­er­al of you gath­er togeth­er with this greater spir­i­tu­al under­stand­ing, well that is when the real “mag­ic” begins!

Though every day you need to draw clos­er to this Truth of your Spir­i­tu­al Iden­ti­ty, there are times in any life that will stand out and remind you that what will be the mea­sure of you at the end of this sojourn on Earth is this:

That what you gave is what you did receive. In this pre­cious time that you have to live here, every sin­gle moment, every thought you share, every feel­ing you express, every action you take…all of it is or will become your Future. You are your Kar­ma, and you with your com­pan­ions are the cre­ators who make your own heav­en or hell here on Earth.

Today the Grand Car­di­nal Cross of 2014 is most cer­tain­ly acti­vat­ed as Mer­cury, the Lord and Avatar of Thought and Com­mu­ni­ca­tion is align­ing exact­ly with three of the four plan­ets who now stand in those Car­di­nal Cor­ners, (and he will align with the fourth cor­ner held by Mars on Wednesday).

And, not only does Mer­cury align today with Jupiter, Uranus and Plu­to, but Plu­to is chang­ing direc­tion and “stand­ing still” too, turn­ing ret­ro­grade (until Sep­tem­ber 22), and that will bring into even greater focus the qual­i­ty and con­di­tion of your Will and Sacred Space.

More­over, not only is all of this “hap­pen­ing”, but today/tonight is also the day of the first Lunar Eclipse of 2014. Every month, at each Full Moon, you are remind­ed to stand back and con­sid­er the potent mes­sages and guid­ance that is offered to you by this pri­ma­ry dance of your Sun and Moon. But a Total Lunar Eclipse is a mes­sage that rein­forces the mean­ings of this moment, and reminds you by the beau­ty of this dance of Light and Shad­ows of the com­plex­i­ty and inter­con­nec­tiv­i­ty of your life here and what is hap­pen­ing “up there”.

Yes, this is quite a time, this is quite a month…but what you need to know, of course, is what does this all mean? Since I will exam­ine in more depth the mes­sages of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross when it is most exact between April 20–23, for today let us focus upon the par­tic­u­lar mean­ings of Mer­cury’s elic­i­ta­tions that are here in this moment. I will post anoth­er com­ment after­ward with regards to the Total Lunar Eclipse as well.

Where­as all 4 align­ments of Mer­cury with the Cross should be held as one com­plete mes­sage, as they only form a com­plete spir­i­tu­al mes­sage when inte­grat­ed and bal­anced by one anoth­er, it is help­ful exam­ine them sep­a­rate­ly, each as one melody in a four part har­mo­ny of truth.

The first melody of Spir­it is that of Mer­cury in Aries Squar­ing Jupiter in Can­cer. The Enthu­si­asm and Ide­al­ism of Mer­cury in Aries is most need­ful of tem­per­ing by the ancient, famil­iar and cen­ter­ing truths that flow to you now from your Spir­i­tu­al Roots by Jupiter in Can­cer. As you “lead” with your mind­ful inten­tions now, as you prac­tice the Art of the Pres­ence in Aries, you need to con­sid­er most care­ful­ly the feel­ings that bind you to one anoth­er, for you are all part of the fam­i­ly of human.

For as much as you need to stretch your thoughts into new spaces of self-expres­sion, you must equal­ly remain in touch with the con­texts of mean­ing formed by the lega­cy and efforts of those who came before you, as well as remain under­stand­able to your present-day com­pan­ions. For if you push your­self (and them) to far, you may slip beyond what is rea­son­able and sound, and your Ide­al­ism could cre­ate the very oppo­site of your well-inten­tioned meaning.

There is always present this ten­sion in Spir­i­tu­al Truth, between what is Ide­al or Right and what is Tru­ly the Good. That if the Law is such and such, then so be it, let it be done. But always between the Let­ter of the Law, between what is seem­ing­ly absolute and true, comes the inter­ces­sion of Love and Com­pas­sion in how one should Think and then Act. That as much as you must hold to the High­est Ideals, there is no high­er Truth than to Care and to Love one anoth­er. So you must find the tru­ly Spir­i­tu­al Way, the way between, to find what is right and lov­ing too.

The sec­ond melody of Mer­cury today is elicit­ed by his Con­junc­tion with Uranus who is also in Aries. Here you will find one of the most potent keys to the mys­tery of your Self-Tran­scen­dence, of how you are able to walk the path of Mind­ful advance­ment. For it is by Uranus, the Avatar of your High­er Mind that resides with­in your­self, it is by this that you are aid­ed in step­ping out­side of your nec­es­sary but self-lim­it­ing and self-made bound­aries of thought-forms. For these Thought-Forms have been cre­at­ed by you, and they form your per­cep­tion of what you see as your world, that is true. But these very Lens­es of Illu­mi­na­tion that you have formed will then also shad­ow and obscure from you what is the Greater Real­i­ty beyond your present know­ing too.

Through­out your jour­ney, you have to assume cer­tain para­me­ters, prin­ci­ples, ideas and beliefs in order to cre­ate your par­a­digm of life, and so you must. But that very par­a­digm will become its own prison of per­spec­tive that will hold you in a shad­owed world. That is until some sparkling, shock­ing, often­times upset­ting but won­drous burst from Uranus will reveal to you some­thing beyond what was known, expectable or accept­ed by you or your world…And it is then that you will have your Epiphany, the scales will fall from your eyes, and you rise into a greater, more inclu­sive under­stand­ing, once again.

The third melody of Mer­cury is formed by his Square with Plu­to in Capri­corn. Much as with Mer­cury to Jupiter, Plu­to here is mod­u­lat­ing the enthu­si­asm of Mer­cury by one of the three core prin­ci­ples of Spir­it. You are here to mas­ter your­self in order to devel­op and exer­cise your will, for by this you will cre­ate and live in Sacred Spaces with one anoth­er. Your most impor­tant task here is to main­tain Men­tal Self-Con­trol, hold­ing your own Mind as a Sacred Space, but at the same time to equal­ly treat all oth­ers with this same con­sid­er­a­tion, for of course their thoughts and men­tal space are sacred too.

If you mis­un­der­stand or mis­use your will with regards to your mind, you may be tempt­ed to bend anoth­er to your way of think­ing, and even go so far that in so doing you feel you have “won” or proven right when you force them to think as you. But all you have done is dimin­ish them and their will, and equal­ly cause dam­age to your own soul too.

For by think­ing and act­ing in this way you most cer­tain­ly reveal that you have failed to appre­ci­ate the very nature of how your Con­scious­ness formed, and you have failed to under­stand how it is that you will grow beyond your own lim­it­ed space of know­ing. The word Con­scious­ness lit­er­al­ly means “Togeth­er-Know­ing”. It means that the only way in which you are able to form your under­stand­ing, the only way you will advance your under­stand­ing is through and by shar­ing, blend­ing and inte­grat­ing your thoughts and sen­si­bil­i­ties with one anoth­er. You are made of one anoth­er and the only way to see beyond your own self-cast shad­owed thought-forms is by bring­ing into your own thought-forms the per­spec­tive and light that comes from many oth­ers too.

This Pow­er of the Will is most empha­sized now, for it is also today that Plu­to turns ret­ro­grade. I men­tioned this in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2014 where I noted:

Plu­to Ret­ro­grade (April 14 until Sep­tem­ber 22)

The Lord of Will and Sacred Space begins his annu­al peri­od of ret­ro­grade, and it is time once again to re-con­nect to the well-spring of your Sacred Space, to re-affirm one of your three Prin­ci­ple Spir­i­tu­al Gifts, the Pow­er of your Will. It is time to use this pow­er as it must and will be even­tu­al­ly mas­tered by you, to use this pow­er for what must come first, which is that you are here quite sim­ply to Mas­ter Your­self, to have Self-Con­trol and there­by Self-Deter­mi­na­tion. For only then can you com­bine with oth­er Cen­tered, Self-Con­trolled Com­pan­ions to cre­ate and build your shared Sacred Spaces together.

Yes, Mer­cury the Mes­sen­ger is acti­vat­ing the Grand Car­di­nal Cross today by form­ing a tri­par­tite link for you and these three of four Avatars.

From Jupiter the imper­a­tive to stay cen­tered with­in the Ancient Truths that have guid­ed your jour­ney from the beginning.

From Uranus the gift of Self-Tran­scen­dence that is there with­in your own High­er Mind.

And from Plu­to the pow­er to choose to ful­fill your respon­si­bil­i­ty to pro­tect all Sacred Spaces, start­ing most impor­tant­ly with your own mind.

Now what remains is your Fourth Car­di­nal Cor­ner, and we will look at Mars when Mer­cury meets him on the 16th, Wednes­day, which is Mer­cury’s day.

Now, lis­ten for the whisperings,

Gen­tle stir­rings from within.

The Light is draw­ing closer,

The Path­way now is clear.

You are an Immortal,

Upon a Long Journey,

Lift­ing up your Soul.

Sun Opposite Mars (April 8, 2014)

2014-Grand-Cardinal-Cross-Sun

The Four Sta­tions of the Car­di­nal Cross.

There you will find a way,

A way through and back to the center,

A way to remem­ber and live with what is sacred.

This is your awakening,

Your fate, as always,

in your hands.

You will Square the Cir­cle and be steadfast.

Being whole and com­plete, behold­en to Spir­it only,

Cen­tered in Truth and Will, by Action and through Love,

You will be a bea­con in the Dark­ness, for

You are here to help one anoth­er find your way…Home.

Today the Sun aligns with Mars, and your Star illu­mi­nates the Fourth and Final Gate of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross. This past week, where the Sun aligned with the four quar­ters of the Cross, has been more or less a wake-up call, a reminder for you about the con­nect­ed­ness of all things, and of your need to pre­pare for the cli­max of this Plan­e­tary Cross Pat­tern which will occur from April 20 to 23.

(Though there will of course be many oth­er stim­u­lat­ing elic­i­ta­tions before and after these exact dates for the Grand Cross too. One is just ahead, when Mer­cury makes this same four-fold pass from April 14 to 16, which will also just hap­pen to coin­cide with a Full Moon Total Eclipse of April 14–15…Oh yes, there is a lot going on “up there”, and you bet­ter believe there will be quite the same down here too).

The Sun is the Avatar and source for you of the Spir­i­tu­al forces that flow from the cen­ter of your galaxy, your Milky Way. But of course what abides at the core of the Sun is also in you. It is also your inner­most, your spark of Divine, there at your cen­ter, and so those self-same spir­i­tu­al forces also arise from with­in you too. For don’t you know, you came from a Star, you are upon a jour­ney through these many Man­sions, through the many Spaces of Space until one fine day, when you have mas­tered your­self, you too will shine ful­ly, freely as a Star too.

Dri­ving the sto­ry of this ever-unfold­ing Cre­ation, from the small­est of infin­i­tes­i­mals on up through to the plan­ets, stars and galax­ies, from the bare­ly sen­tient on up to the con­scious and then self-con­scious life-forms and beyond, from those Inner­most Realms to the Infini­ties beyond your know­ing, behind it all is the one pri­mal drive…Desire.

For at the core of Spir­it is this one imper­a­tive that is yours too, you are here to Grow. You are here to Become, to unfold your Infi­nite Poten­tial, both inward­ly and out­ward­ly, and so unfold your Divine Spir­it into the Infi­nite spaces of Space. There is no “begin­ning”, there is no “end”, there is the ONE and the Many. There is Cre­ation, there is Being and Becom­ing and your Jour­ney in Spir­it that is everlasting.

You and you and you too, and all that is around you, all of this IS because sim­ply and pure­ly Spir­it desired to Be, to grow and become as you do too. Your Avatar of this Pri­mal Force, at least while you sojourn here on Earth, is that burn­ing bright red “Star” glow­ing in the heav­ens of late. It is Mars of course, whose posi­tion just beyond your Earth places him between you and the Infini­ties that lie “out there” in the vast­ness that is a full­ness called Space.

Today the Sun, your Avatar of Self, of all that you can and will become stands oppo­site to your Desire. There is the Sun on one side, and Mars on the oth­er, with you there on Earth between them both. Today you are asked to see step back for a moment and con­sid­er, “Where am I going? Why am I going there? And, and is this the way to get me there?” You need to ask your­self, what is your Desire, what is your Inten­tion, what are you Aim­ing for and How to pro­pose to get there?

To answer any or all of these ques­tions, you must first know this…Where are you com­ing from? What is behind this urge that pro­pels you for­ward, that makes you reach for some­thing more, for some­thing high­er, greater…what is it that makes you Desire to become some­thing more?

The Sun, your High­er Self, has the answer. It is your nature, it is because you are a Spark of the Divine and your Des­tiny is to take part in this nev­er-end­ing sto­ry, this Song of Cre­ation, and you will become so much more than you can even imag­ine. But at moments such as this you are asked to pause, to look back at where you have come from, to con­sid­er how you got this far, to see what you did to ful­fill your desire, and to look out ahead at that far, far hori­zon and remem­ber and under­stand as best as you can at this stage of your unfold­ment, what it is all about.

If you do, if you lis­ten to your heart, if you can catch those whis­pers from your soul, you will also know that it is not about the des­ti­na­tion, it is about the jour­ney. That it mat­ters why you do this, it mat­ters how you get there, for these thoughts, feel­ings and actions will become what you will be. And not mere­ly for you, for every­thing, every mote and speck, every being and plan­et, star and Galaxy…it is all part of the One Life. And what you do with or to the least of these, you do unto yourself…For that is the Law.

The Sun, your High­er Self, illu­mi­nates Mars your Avatar of Desire and Action. Mars shines brighter now than ever, burn­ing now in the Sign of Libra, the Sign of Beau­ty, of Jus­tice of Fair­ness for one and for all. This is your where you come from, this is how you will act in the Now, and this in the end is what you will be and Cre­ate. You and yours are here to strive for Equal­i­ty, to act Just­ly and restore the Beau­ty to your world.

As I wrote in the New Moon for Aries, the mes­sage that the Sun elic­its now from Mars is this:

From Mars in Libra you are to Act to restore Beau­ty and Justice.”

As the Sun, your star, sets in the west tonight,

Turn and look to the east­ern horizon.

See him ris­ing there, that shin­ing red one.

There is your Heart’s Desire.

He is here for Righteousness,

He is here for Justice,

He is there to show you,

The Way back to Beauty,

Found in how you walk the pathway,

As you jour­ney to the Stars.
