CAPRICORN Prayers & Affirmations

Change is created by those
whose imaginations are bigger
than their circumstances!

Responsibility Equals Freedom
Experience More Freedom in Your Everyday Life

As with most things, there is one catch ... you have to know what you want. Do you know what you want? Out of life? Your career? Your relationships? Your friendships? It’s not easy narrowing it down, but it can be done. It takes all the things that Capricorn, Saturn and the 10th House represent. Focus, consistency, order, and being responsible for your Self and your actions. This is the month you can really connect to that extra boost of power that may be just what you need to put you over the top. I suggest you use the available energy to tap into what it is you really want. Priorities change throughout life, but especially for a lot of us in the last year. Take some time each day to focus on your priorities and what exactly it is you are trying to accomplish with your life.

Prayer/Affirmation:
Thank you God for connecting me to my truth and purpose.

Do you work long hours, just to come home and collapse on the couch until you crawl into bed? Do you create projects or obligations that take you away from the people and projects that really nourish and support who you are? I know people who have been going to work and coming home for years. They have given up any semblance of a true life, let alone a personal or social life ... all under the guise of it being “for the family”. GET OFF THE TREADMILL ! Finally, you wake up one day and decide to make yourself create a way to make the same amount of money (or hopefully more - think BIG!) in less time so that your time would be freed up for your personal needs, desires and goals. All it takes is one step in the right direction too. Once you have made one decision to free yourself from your self-imposed prison (of sorts), more ideas will start flowing to mind. It’s like opening a treasure, once you start digging you find more and more, in this case, ideas! Just changing your mind can make you feel better and more capable of living a fulfilling life. And you haven’t even done anything yet! But when you feel better, aren't you naturally more productive?

Prayer/Affirmation:
Thank you God for connecting me with the ability to release any and all self-defeating beliefs or belief systems.

All that sounds good, but a lot of people ask “how?” You have to take responsibility for who and where you are in your life before you can move on. You have to see how your choices have gotten you here in the first place and how making new choices might take you somewhere better. Opportunities or good ideas do not usually knock on your door. You must actively seek them and be open and receptive to the form they come in, because that too, may be different than you expected.

Prayer/Affirmation:
Thank you God for helping me to see clearly how my free will and choice (which You have bestowed upon me) has created my life.

Prayer/Affirmation:
Thank you God for connecting me to my innate ability to connect with only those people, places or things which are for my Highest good.

The other thing I suggest is, to choose only one area of your life to improve at a time. Many of us get very excited about new concepts. We set some goals, spend some money, tell anyone who will listen, get started ... then get overwhelmed and give up on everything. It’s too hard to change your whole life at one time. Then you have this awful sense of failure, which keeps you from trying ... again and again and again until you get it right. Don’t set yourself up like that. Try to find one common denominator; some one thing that is, somehow, connected to everything else.

Prayer/Affirmation:
Thank you God for connecting me to the one common denominator which is connected to all areas of my life, so that I may strengthen and affirm it.

WINTER Solstice 2011

Our life is an apprenticeship to the Truth
that around every circle another can be drawn;
that there is no end in nature,
but every end is a beginning,
and under every deep
a lower deep opens.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Hi All ~ Happy Solstice! I have more to share before year's end, but wanted you to have the *Winter* Solstice energetic *support* to guide you through this weekend and in to the First Qtr of the year. There is a 37-min Audio that covers the *Winter* Solstice Overview, Chart and I-Ching Guidance. As you listen and *Initiate* your *NEW* Year, consider all the tremendous *support* we have from the current planetary movement, cycles and alignments. Solstice initiates our long-term goals, while within 48-hrs the Capricorn New Moon initiates our *personal* goals, the *NEW* Reality we'd like to fully experience in the coming year *2012*. You may want to reflect on the July 2011 Capricorn Full Moon *Release* work you did to clear a space for this New Reality to anchor. Capricorn energy is all about how you hold your own structures, maintain your own foundations and are responsible for your own contribution.

Now, consider Jupiter going Direct at Zero *Taurus* (12/25) right after the Capricorn New Moon (12/24). We've now (theoretically) completed the *Annual* Editing process Jupiter brings with its Retrograde. Taurus brings up what everything is *Worth* ~ what you're worth, what your investment in Self & Others is worth, where your values lie at this time and what your priorities are around your personal *comfort* and 3D existence are concerned. Jupiter is the larger *Story* but if you have any Taurus/Scorpio or Leo/Aquarius Activated in your chart, then it gets *personal* for you. For the rest of us, we need to consider the Houses ruled by those Signs to see where Jupiter is evolving our own personal stories.

The other thing that jumps out as relevant to mention is all of this Capricorn/Cancer Energy is a *Response* to the last energy (Sag/Gemini Eclipses etc) and *Preparation* for the next leg of the journey come Aquarius/Leo work. So Sag/Gemini got us all thinking in completely new ways, which is now catalyzing *Choices & Decisions* ... which will lead to what we are able to manifest in *Form* and stabilize so that it supports us going forward in to the next round of energetic *Work*.

The *Rhythm* goes something like this ...

Mutable Energy ~

~ Gemini/Sagittarius/Virgo/Pisces
~ Inspires the Ideas, Thoughts & Concepts

~ which catalyzes Direction
Cardinal Energy ~

~ Aries/Libra/Cancer/Capricorn
~ Inspires the Choices & Decisions

~ which catalyzes Action
Fixed Energy ~

~ Taurus/Scorpio/Leo/Aquarius
~ Inspires the Grounding & Consolidation

~ which catalyzes Stability

With all that in mind, note that Mercury will finish its extended stay in Sag by Jan 8th when it will move in to Capricorn. I suspect that will be when many of the *Ideas & Concepts* you've entertained and invested in over the last year will finally begin to take on a discernable *Form & Shape* that you can then build on. Jan 9th brings the Cancer Full Moon, which too will *Illuminate* which ideas will actually *Feed* you in some substantial way in the coming 6-months, most likely by revealing any *Famine* you've experienced over the last year. Now & Always, despite holiday *obligations* or any challenging *appearances*, the Universe continues to support our *Evolution* so tune in when/where you can and give a nod to the *Source* Energy which brings the *Blessings & Miracles* truly possible as we step in to this delicious & potent New Year! More Soon! I wish everyone a *Joyous* New Year!

PS - Click Here for Weekly Forecast to guide the remainder of the year. I'd like to point out the usefulness of co-creating with the Sun/Pluto *Annual* Activation (12/29) and all the Activations leading up to that one are your *Prep* Work.

*SAG/GEMINI* Eclipse Overview & Support
Click Here for 28-min Audio + Archives

The things we fear most in organizations,
fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances ...
are the primary sources of creativity.
~ Margaret J. Wheatley ~

Hi All ~ I worked Major *Mojo* 11/11 thru 11/22 and then shifted for family obligations and like you, had to *simultaneously* navigate the intense Eclipse energy and incoming Mercury Retrograde. I have used the *Overview* + *Chart* portions of the Sag *Lunar* Tele-Class (11/17) as our Guidance for *NOW*. I just re-listened and found it tremendously useful! Sagittarius time every year, affords you the opportunity to *Deepen Your Truth* and *Expand Your Story* ~ to move from the revelations of Scorpio's *Raw Truth* ... to the inspirations of Sag's *Higher Truth* ... to make *meaning* out of all that has been brought in to the Light. We're also at the *Mid-Point* in the Jupiter Annual Cycle (Sag's Ruler) with one month left to complete the *Editing* Process Jupiter Retrograde brings (every year). Once it moves forward (12/25), so too will ALL that you *Clarify* at THIS time, when the Sun/Moon/Mercury/Venus/North Node all make their way through the sign of the Archer!

I have always thought Scorpio was my favorite time of the year but I'm amending that to include the whole last quarter of the year. Scorpio is the best because it clears out the old, Sagittarius is the best for dreaming up the future and Capricorn is the best for initiating the foundation for those dreams to expand on. I *LOVE* this time of year! It so beautifully supports this natural evolution. I can also testify that after working mojo *WITH* the energies over the years, it has always produced results directly equal to the investment of my own energy. I say that to say, you can invest a little or a lot and yield tangible results based on your efforts.

Another thing to consider is that the Sag *Work*( (11/22-12/22) is leading to the ONLY (almost) 30-day period of the entire year when ALL the planets are moving in forward motion ~ which means NO HOLDING BACK! Dec 25th (Jupiter Direct) until Jan 23rd (2012 - Mars Retro) provides a small window of opportunity to hold your own counsel, tune in to the cosmos and your Higher Self and come up with a new and improved vision for your life. I suggest you use the holiday season to give your Self the GIFT of TIME to reflect and plan. You are standing on this side of a bridge, about to crossover to completely new, and as yet, unknown territory, which deserves more than a fleeting thought.

As I ruminated the relationship between Sagittarius and Capricorn, many things started to dance in my consciousness. The energy of faith, optimism and enthusiasm (Sagittarius) to create a reality (Capricorn) based on your personal Truth (Sag) and ultimate Purpose (Capricorn) for being here. It CANNOT just be the proverbial 'struggle from the cradle to the grave'. 'Survival-Mode' is a state of mind and we have free will and choice to re-vision the "Mode" in which we navigate through this life. We've practiced transmuting 'Survival-Mode' for *Self-Preservation* in recent years and it is starting to pay off. Sag's gift is *Exploring* the possibilities, while Capricorn's gift is turning those possibilities into *Tangible* Reality. We need BOTH energies, and the lessons they bring.

If we can also use the energy of Mercury Retrograde in Sag (11/24 - 12/13) as well as the Sag/Gemini Eclipse Season this month, then NEXT month when ALL Planets are *Direct* for a brief time (12/25 - 1/23/2012) you can work with Capricorn's energy of ... Defining Your Reality ~ Creating Your Structure ~ Building Your Foundation ~ Renewing Your Definitions (of Everything) ... not to mention this is *INITIATING* 2012! It is vital to at least set your *Intentions* during this *OPEN* Field ... it is the most Fiery Creative Energy available for *Change* and Birthing *ANEW*! Yummm!

PS ~ Also consider the on-going Cardinal Cross which directly engages Uranus (Liberation) in Aries (Independence) ~ Saturn (Structure) in Libra (Balanced Relationships) ~ and Pluto (Transformation) in Capricorn (Responsibility) and this is the time it is *Activating* the Pluto in Capricorn "leg" (11/26 - 1/27/2012) making things fairly *Personal* for us all. Your frame of reference should be Spring & Fall Equinox and Summer Solstice, this Winter Solstice *Initiates* a NEW Year of work and the final one that Saturn will contribute to in this particular way. The Cardinal energies have to do with our *Fundamentals* ~ Home/Work ~ Private/Public ~ Self/Others ~ Individual/Collective. This is an EXCELLENT TIME to deeply *process* the past couple of years and recognize the truly *NEW* Level you're at and *NEW* Reality you're living. It is a NEW Day!!

· Take some time to reflect on 2011
· Set intentions for 2012
· Tune in to the forward movement on the horizon
· Clear the old, make way for the new
· NO MORE "RE-" anything ~ you're starting with a CLEAN SLATE
· Release anything you do not want bigger
· Release anything you do not want anchored for the next 16-20 years
· Use discomfort as a motivation to change
· Change sooner than later that which you KNOW needs to be changed
· Do not put off to tomorrow what you can do today
· Use the current energies to "break to realign" whatever needs it most
· Take personal responsibility for your own success
· Face the consequences of past choices and commit to change (from this day forward)
· Do not be extreme but be vigilant
· Do not be rigid but be consistent
· Do not be apathetic or pessimistic but be flexible and relaxed
· Do not be stagnant but finish what you start
· Think bigger, expand your realm and consider other possibilities
· Invite the invisible help of your angels and guides to bring you creative solutions
· Find a need in the community and fill it
· Choose a cause to contribute some energy to (start w. SELF)
· Get out of your comfort zone but have FUN (this does not have to be painful)

Whosoever wishes to know about the world
must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth
be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season.
~ Heraclietus of Ephesus ~

**Heracleitus of Ephesus (ca. 540-ca. 475 BC) ~ Greek philosopher who thought of the universe as a place of ceaseless change ("flux"), going so far as to suggest that a new Sun was created each day. He believed the fundamental element was Fire, because it was always changing, and felt that evidence from the Senses was untrustworthy and had to be used with caution. He was interested in understanding the processes occurring behind the "veil" of appearances. © 1996-2007 Eric W. Weisstein

KARMIC TOOLS ~ Weekly Forecast:
November 27 - December 3, 2011

11/27 ~ Venus (socialize) ~trine~ Jupiter (optimism):
This is a most pleasant energy, although short lived. This is a good time to enjoy some kind of social activity. No pressure - just easy, laid back fun. It can make you prone to laziness, but only if you’re already prone to it. Otherwise, if you are typically constantly on the go, this energy gives you permission to kick back a little and release the usual pressures to produce. Take some time out to “smell the roses” or at least reflect on all that you HAVE accomplished and give your Self due credit for coming this far. This is a good time to go on a vacation or short trip. This energy tends to bring forth rewards for past actions. Take a moment to give thanks to the powers that be which brought you to this point!

12/1 ~ Venus (relationships) ~conjunct~ Pluto (transformation):
This energy intensifies relationships, for better or worse. Because your values and priorities are shifting, relationships must also undergo a similar adjustment. Beware of value differences that can cause power struggles which are unproductive. Try to create circumstances that are win/win, and mutually beneficial, this will allow the relationship to EVOLVE, rather than revolve back into the cycle. It is best to use this energy to consciously transform your personal values and define how you’d like to be engaged with others in the future. You may feel really intense at this time, it is the best time to tap your Infinite creative flow and create something AMAZING!

12/2 ~ Sun (core-Self) ~square~ Mars (passion):
Knowledge is power - and in this case, it is better to know than not know. You KNOW it's going to be a challenging time, so don't act surprised when it happens. This energy's sole purpose is to test the validity of a position you took or a statement you made about six months ago. The Universe, and a couple of humans for good measure, will be pointing out your weaknesses, short-comings, lack of preparation and mistakes you've made. Be careful not to be overly sensitive to others or impatient with the progress, or lack thereof, of your current situation. Be assertive but not belligerent and beware of it in others, toward you. This energy brings conflict with authority figures too. If possible, find a positive, physical outlet for your energy this week. If you don't allow your frustrations to be expressed at all, they will explode in the worst way, at the worst possible time; possibly manifesting themselves in illness or accidents. If you don't feel any aggression, anxiety or frustration then you may be suppressing it all, and again, it WILL manifest, ready or not, so beware. And if you are not suppressing it, you may be projecting it and attracting angry, frustrated people to you. If you work WITH this energy, you have access to the ability to do the work and CREATE an authentic life.

SAGITTARIUS Prayers & Affirmations

2011-12-02T04:19:00.012-05:00

When you follow your Bliss,
doors will open where
you would not have thought
there would be doors; and
where there would not be a door
... for someone else!

Expand Your Horizons!
Going to the Next Level

Sagittarius energy is all about expansion! Expand means to: make or become greater in size, scope or range or it means to open up and out; unfold. We want to do ALL of that this month! There is a story that Wayne Dyer tells on one of his tapes that illustrates my point perfectly. If you take a pair of shorts with an elastic waist and pull them as far as they will go, they will snap back to normal with no problem. However, when you pull the elastic BEYOND ITS LIMITS, the shorts are NEVER THE SAME AGAIN. That's what we want to do. Extend your Self beyond where you usually give up or stop. Start slow and easy but take some aspect of your mind, body, spirit or life and take it to the next level in some way. Growth isn't always easy and it can sometimes be painful, but the end result is so worth the effort. There's a quote by Vincent Van Gogh, "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced!"

Prayer/Affirmation:
I fearlessly move to the next level, welcoming all the lessons and the blessings that come to me by Divine right.

Another Sagittarius aspect is about exploring other philosophies and ways of living (religions, cultures, etc.) It's about trying new and different things and then taking the parts that resonate with you and combining various beliefs to create your own unique belief system, which works for you. Explore and experiment with different concepts. For a lot of us, we hold on to outdated belief systems that no longer serve our Highest good, it's just old habits dying hard. However, in this day and time, it has become essential that we roll with the changes and adapt. We are being forced to release any preconceived notions about life and the best way to live it. Release any old conditioning that may not even be yours, but you picked it up along the way and don't even realize it.

Prayer/Affirmation:
I am open and receptive to new belief systems which will serve my Highest good, now in this moment and always.

Another principle Sagittarius brings to the table is honesty! However painful or uncomfortable it may be, now is the time to take a good long look at how you're living and if it is really your Truth. This energy is not honest in a critical way (and you shouldn't be either - with your Self or others) but in a detached way, where you access this ability to stand back and accurately assess who and where you are in life. Detachment is not a bad thing when you're trying to figure out where the changes are necessary; where you need to expand and where you need to pull back in your life.

Prayer/Affirmation:
I am detached from the 'how' and 'when' things manifest in my life (that's God's job) and I choose this day to live as honestly as possible, thereby attracting my Truth and Purpose.

Enthusiasm is sometimes ALL we have to attract things into our lives with ... and sometimes that's all it takes. Have you ever been around someone with a contagious personality? They just exude enthusiasm and it gives you permission to be more enthusiastic as well. We need more people like that in the world. But really, when you're trying to manifest, you may not have the money or background that you need, but if you are FULL of enthusiasm, people will listen. A good way to know if you're truly enthusiastic is when it is natural. If you have to think about it, you're on the wrong track - what I'm talking about is a feeling - a gut feeling.

Prayer/Affirmation:
The Eternal Essence of who I am is not my mind (which thinks), but my heart (which feels); I live each day from my heart, come what may.

You are on a Spiritual Quest, whether consciously or not, at this time. Higher learning is underway and you have probably gathered a considerable amount of information lately, and now it is time to assimilate and integrate it all. Take some time in nature, in silence, to listen to what your Higher Self is trying to convey to you at this time. Question long-held beliefs about your Self and others. Rather than living your conditioning, tune in to the Truth as YOU define it and exercise your free will and choice to choose a new path.

Prayer/Affirmation:
I lovingly release long-held beliefs which no longer serve my Highest good and embrace a new truth.

This is the month to expand your thinking. If you are not even open to an ideal, if you haven't even tried to cultivate your own Truth, then this month gives you the incentive to access that part of you. Next month, with Capricorn energy, you can give that ideal a structure and develop a plan for making it tangible, however, this month, only focus on the HIGHEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME. One month of your life, you can free your thinking just enough to allow a new seed to be planted.

Prayer/Affirmation:
I commit to taking the time to discover my Highest Truth and expand my thinking, to dream and dream BIG, then taking the next step to fully expressing the wonder that is my life, the life I created.

Most of you receiving this first are already involved, so I created a web page to *SHARE* with others that has these *3* Audios + Activations for YOU! and I encourage those who would like to experience the calls before contributing any further to definitely check them out ;-)) My Spring *GOAL* is making a conscious effort to *INVITE* MORE people to join the calls and the Power Circle Community. Many of you already *share* KarmicTools with others so please feel free to share THIS LINK whenever you feel called to. This information will be vitally useful throughout the year (2011) and our Gatherings & on-going Focus will continue to create a sanctified space of mutual support.

The *Lunar* Tele-Gatherings ~ are when we check in with the Full Moon/New Moon, planetary energies twice a month and honor the ebb/flow of daily life by aligning our Individual/Personal goals with the Moon's rhythm. This alone, guides us on when to *plant or prune*. Each month, we also gather to go over one major planetary shift or alignment affecting the Social/Collective realms, including Retrogrades, Nodes & Eclipses. The Gatherings for the Sacred Seasons are done in *LIVE* Ceremonial Circles when possible, but available via phone or online as well. I would *LOVE* to hear from anyone with *Sacred Space* to accommodate small, intimate gatherings (of 10-15 people) and/or 3-7 day retreats. I absolutely cherish my online community. I am also feeling called to gather in person when there is a *Vibrational Match* and things flow organically.
eMail Kelly

These Gatherings are *DELICIOUS* for those people who:
· Are *Passionate* about managing their own energy
· Are *Deeply Dedicated* to serving their unique purpose
· Are *Joyfully Committed* to accomplishing their goals
· Like knowing the *Cycles & Seasons*
· Like working the *Monthly & Annual* Cycles
· Like the Group dynamic of *Energetic* Support

The energy of these tele-gatherings has also evolved over time, with the powerful group dynamic and the alchemical mix of people who constitute the Circle. The Power Circle is an amazing (and growing) community of master teachers, dedicated students and lightworkers of all walks, sharing this Path. My intention is always to create Sacred Space for those who like to listen and gather information, as well as those who like to share their *Illuminations, Discoveries and Ah-HA* Moments. (Online Radio is in our future ;-)) You can pop-in for Periodic *Infusions* or there are a couple of Subscriptions to choose from which support the site & keep a steady stream of *energy, info & support* flowing to you in Divine Time & Order. You have an *Open Invitation* to the Power Circle Gatherings ~ Anytime!

Also, please consider that much of what I do is in both *WRITTEN & AUDIO* Form, so there is always information available that you can apply immediately, no matter your personal preference. I am dedicated to supporting those consciously working their own process and am happy to address any questions or concerns you have along the way. On the *LUNAR* Sampler page, you will find SEVERAL *Audios, Activations & Additional Tools* that will *Support & Guide* you throughout the year of 2011. Be sure to scan all the way to the bottom of the web page at least once to see all that is offered, then double-back over that which *speaks* to your Soul.

Our deepest calling is to grow into
our own authentic self-hood,
whether or not it conforms
to some image of who we ought to be.
As we do so, we will not only find the joy
that every human being seeks --
we will also find our path of
authentic service in the world.

ARIES: Faith ~ Risk ~ Courage ... *NOW*

A non-doer is very often a critic.
That is someone who
sits back and watches doers ...
and then waxes philosophically
about how the doers are doing.
It's easy to be a critic,
but being a doer requires
EFFORT, RISK & CHANGE.

Happy Re-Birthday to all, and especially Aries folks! For many people (past the age of 25), birthdays come with a mixture of hope for the new and stress over the old, what's done (or not done) by now. We all experience some degree of "review" during birthday time. So - good news first - those who are craving a clean slate / fresh start - THIS is your chance!! Bad news is - it will not be an 'easy' new start, except maybe for those of you who love a challenge and thrive on overcoming obstacles.

This month of Aries, as I do every year, I give you PERMISSION TO BE SELFISH!! One month is no time to assess and plan for one year (and beyond). This month you should be focused on YOU! Your needs, your desires and what you deserve in exchange for the energy you share in your personal and professional life. Exchange, flow, reciprocity are all mandatory but the only way to ensure that energy flows freely is to remove all the blockages within. Mars and Pluto are working diligently, over a very long period of time, to ensure a permanent shift in your perception of need vs. desire.

FAITH ~ RISK ~ COURAGE ... *NOW*

~ FAITH ~ that you ARE in the right place, at the right time, with the right people for the lesson and the blessing. Faith in your Self, your Truth, your abilities, and your contribution as worthy and necessary. Faith that God is the Infinite Source of your supply and you already possess all that you need to maintain your life.

~ RISK ~ a willingness to risk investing in your own potential ~ for your own sense of accomplishment ~ for your own forward movement ~ to make progress in your own life. It seems that we are all willing to take incredible risks on behalf of people or entities which, in my humble opinion, are hardly worth it (in this context), not to mention the fact that these very same people and entities would NEVER risk (to any degree) for YOU! Remember, never allow someone else to be your PRIORITY ... if you are only their OPTION!

~ COURAGE ~ to face your fears and do it anyway, which is TOTALLY supported, even encouraged by Mars/Aries energy by the way. Courage of your convictions - to stand up for what you believe in even if no one close by agrees with you. Right or wrong in the end, when you are courageous enough to go after what you want, stand up for what you believe in, do what others are afraid to even try and/or take a step in the direction of your goals, you earn self-respect as well as the respect of others.

So this month, there are a couple of things to keep in mind while you go about organizing your life for spring renewal / re-birthday / and all these initiation energies (among others). This Season in particular, the transformation (Pluto) of your values & relationships (Venus), the expansion (Jupiter) of who you are and your core drives (Sun), and expressing your thoughts (Mercury), your deepest desires (Mars) and emotions (Cancer) are all giving you an opportunity for a breakthrough!

Squares in astrology are usually described as "hard angles" that the planets make to each other, so while it will likely be stressful in the moment, please keep somewhere in the back of your mind, as you move through this month and interact with others, that the whole point of any challenge(s) or blockage(s) which do pop up, are only to help you facilitate some very necessary (and long overdue) change(s). They are also giving you a palpable opportunity for ULTIMATE MASTERY of Self, for finally 'getting' the lesson so you can move on to other things.

It is advisable to be 'courageous' and 'faithful' and take a risk in choosing a new response, which will in fact elicit a new result. Stability and healing are the ultimate goal of the current energies and change is good!

Initial Thoughts on 2011

2011-03-12T20:30:00.008-05:00

Initial Thoughts on 2011

2011 opens with 25 days of *forward* motion ~ NO Retrograde Planets. This is auspicious and juicy! These *portals* are small and rare and worth investing some conscious attention to what you are creating with your own personal energy. Every day brings another *gift* of revelation and energetic support. This year supports RE-Establishing *BALANCE* after a major *HEALING*. 1996 - 2010 had Saturn traversing Aries -thru- Virgo, below the surface, behind the scenes, working on the *fundamentals* of our evolving Saturn Reality. It may have felt very personal to many along the way. As it hits Libra, it moves above the horizon and out in to the world to work on the Social/Collective realms, assuming the Individuals have done the groundwork. As Planets *finish* every Sign, Cycle and New Direction ~ very often, there is a *TEST*. I would encourage you to look for the areas of life where you have done the most personal growth and Self-work, honor what is truly *done* and prepare for the *Test*. We never want to look at life's tests as malicious, it is a natural occurrence, not to be feared, but to be embraced! It will validate your level of mastery (more of Saturn's domain).

An astrological chart is basically a *snapshot* of the sky at any given moment, so if you want to know the *energetic blueprint* for anything or anyone, all you have to do is get this snapshot and study it for the *energies and patterns*. The chart of 1.1.2011 @ 00:01am in Washington, DC/USA ~ has 7* Libra on the Ascendant setting the tone for the year. Where's Saturn? That's right, in Libra! This year will reveal much greater *results and rewards* for the Harvest of Fall Equinox / Sept 2010 -thru- Winter Solstice / Dec 2010 and beyond that, many of you will also see the *results and rewards* of the last 2.5 ~ 7 ~ and 14 years as part of the natural Saturn Cycle. According to Barbara Hand Clow in Liquid Light of Sex, when Saturn passes over the Ascendant like this, there is a major *emptying out* of sorts. This leads to the empty space ~ in-between the old and the new ~ the Sweet Spot between Seed & New Life. So that *in-between* vibration continues in 2011, but at a much higher level because so much *healing* has already been integrated.

My guidance from Saturn has shown that the deep and permanent *healing* done 2007-2010 in Virgo is leading to the renewed balance between all levels of Masculine/Feminine energy, Human, Divine and Galactic. To the degree that the Masculine/Feminine *balance* is restored within the Individual, Social and Collective realms, will be revealed 2012-2015 when it enters Scorpio. Theoretically, after a great healing, you cannot jump back in to *life* too soon, balance must *FIRST* be restored. Once you're healed and balanced, then you can start building power, strength and endurance. It is my feeling that *if* we've healed (Virgo) and reestablished balance (Libra), then directing our power (Scorpio) to create a clean, new 3D/reality (Saturn) is granted by Saturn, The Great Teacher. For those who have not done their Saturn Due Diligence may find they're more in touch with Saturn, The Lord of Karma, which always teaches (one way or another) that your outer 3D/reality is a direct reflection of your internal reality and the labor that goes in to maintaining it.

Part of the lesson of the eternal cycle of Saturn and Uranus, especially in Virgo/Pisces (like 2007-2010), is RE-Aligning life as we know it, one aspect of which is being a Spirit (Uranus in Pisces) in Human Form (Saturn in Virgo). Reverberations from the 1960's ring out. Huge (and numerous) major Cycles converged then and now ~ remember, Earth's 26,000 Year Cycle is not anchored in a day. But how incredible is it that we are all here at this particular turn of the Eternal Wheel? Okay, okay, I'll come back down to Earth and say that Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (consolidation) represent basic principles of Life and also ALWAYS facilitate great shifts in the Social and Collective realms, while deeply activating the Individuals born under their influence along the way.

This leads me to the other Star of the Show for 2011 ~ Jupiter! When I looked up all the Outer Planets' Activations, Jupiter is, by far, the most active with *7* major Activations. Saturn, Uranus, Neptune all have one Activation each and that's it. The rest is up to us Individuals and how we work with the Personal Planets as they zip around the zodiac engaging our Souls on deeper levels than ever before. Jupiter starts the year (1/4) aligning with Uranus, both in Pisces, the end of the zodiac, to complete their *Initiation* of a 14-year Cycle. This will be the first 14-years of Uranus' NEW 84-year Cycle, which is vital, if you are focused on Truth (Jupiter) and Liberation (Uranus). We have our work cut out for us during this time, beginning stages of anything are delicate. The First Test of this Cycle comes in 2013-2014.

But let's get back to 2011 specifically. Where Jupiter is concerned, those with Planets in Aries/Libra and Cancer/Capricorn will be Activated January to June. Those with Planets in Taurus/Scorpio and Leo/Aquarius will be Activated June to December of this year. Jupiter *expands* all that it touches in an effort to educate you, to open you up to a larger vision and deeper version of the Truth as you know it. Aries brings the *clean slate* energy many of you are feeling. It really is the Beginning of a new 12-year Jupiter Cycle. Whatever New Truth and Story you are initiating will be tested in February as it tags Pluto/North Node in Capricorn. This is to, among other things, ensure that your new beginning is clean and will ultimately serve and benefit both YOU & OTHERS. It is time for you to be responsible for your own Truth & Purpose, as well as the Story you're telling with every thought, word and deed.

Then in March, the third and final Activation comes as Jupiter tags Saturn Retrograde in Libra. This is a major (and personal) *Integration*, especially for those with Aries/Libra Planets. For you, I think it will be a matter of re-visioning your own personal reality, in light of Jupiter's education of the last 3-6-9-12 years. How have you suppressed your Truth to please and appease others? This Activation will help you expand your idea of who you are on a core level and reveal where *stability, balance and reciprocity* may be lacking, within or around you. This Activation will stimulate those with Cancer/Capricorn energies in a different way. For you, there will be more movement and choices involved. I suspect that post-Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses, there isn't much left of your OLD Story or OLD Reality. This Activation is designed to push you "out of comfort zone ~ in to new territory". In this case, I think most of your "movement and choices" will have to do will you *choosing* what Story you want to tell NEXT!

By May, the Element of *FIRE* will be Activated by Jupiter (Aries) and the North Node (Sag) and you may feel a wave of energy that carries you right on to the shore of your NEW Truth & Story. This one is tricky because it is one of those Activations that really requires your conscious intent to benefit from the stellar rays, but I think you can receive a *delicious download* regarding the next step on your NEW Path, if you attune to it. I suggest you develop an *outline* of your NEW Story and then review it for its Social relevance and evolutionary potential. What I mean is, it must reflect your own passion and truth, and also, lead to greater things for you and the world. Remember, these are fairly large and general themes. The Signs that are Activated along the way is what will make it feel personal for you. I recommend knowing the dominant pattern of your own energies and lessons.

Stay Tuned for MORE in the months to come!

Mercury Retrograde provides 3-4 opportunities per year to pull back and check on your ideas, thoughts, concepts and perceptions of reality. Outer, worldly things seem to go awry, but I truly believe this is to encourage you to pull back and examine the data from a different perspective or using different methods to process all that is on your mind at this time.

2009 ~ Mercury Retrograded in Air Signs and went Direct in Earth Signs, which gave you the opportunity to review your thoughts and ideas before getting to apply them in the 3-D. Now ...

2010 ~ Mercury Retrogrades through ALL Earth Signs, suggesting that "practice" is over and it's time to really see what / how your thoughts and ideas are truly *working* in the 3-D.

2011 ~ Mercury Retrogrades through ALL Fire Signs (with one brief exception), suggesting it is time to get creative with what IS working and infuse it with some energy and passion.

Mercury Retrograde @ 24 ° Aries ~ March 30, 2011
Mercury Direct @ 12° Aries ~ April 23, 2011

Mercury Retrograde @ 1° Virgo ~ August 2, 2011
Mercury Direct @ 18° Leo ~ August 26, 2011

Mercury Retrograde @ 20° Sagittarius ~ Nov 24, 2011
Mercury Direct @ 3° Sagittarius ~ December 13, 2011

This is a good time for almost anything beginning with "re" - re-evaluating, re-doing, re-arranging, re-building, re-covering, re-discovering, re-viewing, re-peating, re-newing, re-storing, re-pairing. It appears I could go on here, but you get the gist. Basically, it means two things: (1) you must communicate more internally, with the Self and (2) you must go over things with a fine-tooth comb, looking for anything you may have overlooked to begin with. That's the opportunity of Mercury Retrograde, you get re-check the details and correct things before they're too big to fix, hopefully.

Life is a process of becoming,
a combination of states we have to go through.
Where people fail is that they wish
to elect a state and remain in it.
This is a kind of death.

Hi All ~ I am so excited to celebrate the New Year with YOU! Whether you can physically participate or not, we always hold you in the Circle. In fact, MANY of you are already planning Sacred Ceremony around the world. There are all kinds of meditations and celebrations scheduled and the energies are really incredible because of converging cycles and rare planetary alignments, this year and next in particular (2010-2011). To that end, most of the *FREE* calls are geared toward the cycles and astrology of the time, however, we have *8* Sacred Seasons and *Winter* Solstice *INITIATES* the New Year and signals the Return of the Light! So this is more of a Sacred time and we are moving in to a space where our ways & means of *communication* are changing. Linear is tough. Heart-Centered is all that works these days. I want to invite you to share in our Solstice Celebration ~ which has evolved over the last 3 years. Together, we will honor the guidance, anchor our intentions and surrender to the *First* Step ... on the New *Path* of 2011.

We are honored to have Kathie Giove, a gifted artist & intuitive, joining us to close the Circle. If you feel called to submit a question regarding a symbol or dream, Kathie will pick one or two to interpret the message and decipher any Universal wisdom for us all to benefit from. She will also tune in to the energies and her guides and bring us other guidance for embarking on the New Year. Some of the things that have been mentioned so far are ... *heightened* sensitivity (sense when to be open or not) ~ fear of loss (visualize new forms) ~ powerlessness (liberation to shift your focus) ~ people have been having *wild* dreams bringing these issues in to the Light, and there are other ways to interpret the messages. Sometimes it's a warning, but sometimes it's guidance for the next step. Kathie is great at this!

~ CYCLES ~

Fall Equinox / September 2010 brought *2* Aries Full Moons, *Initiating* everyone to (at minimum) the next 6-months (to Spring Equinox 2011) of Full Moons at their final degrees, which are pushing the *Individual* each month to recognize, release and recalibrate ~ in preparation for ~ many more *major* Initiations coming soon. This was a delicious opportunity to clear the last 20-years (or more) and prepare space for a completely *NEW* Individual, Social and Collective *IDENTITY*. Now, we are coming up on Gemini Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse (3 of 6) which is also *Initiating* a major cycle last seen 2001-2003 (w. Gemini N Node) and 1991-1994 (w. Sag N Node). We can use the next 6-12 weeks (Winter Solstice to Spring Equinox 2011) to consciously course-correct aspects of our lives related to Gemini/Sagittarius. We are being asked to release the old, stale ideas, belief systems and stories and cultivate more vibrant, diverse, life-affirming stories which preserve and promote *LIFE*. When one rises, we all rise. It is time. Try to get out under the sky if possible, whether you can see the Eclipse or not, you can *infuse* your Being with the energy and vibration of this Full Moon that bathes and prepares your mind-body-soul connection to better assimilate the *Initiation* of Winter Solstice ~ a Clean Slate. New Beginning. 0* Capricorn / New Reality is seeded, simply through your focus ~ whether 5-minutes or 5-hours ~ it's the *quality* of your focus that matters. Take some time on your own to clarify what you've released with 2010 and what you're initiating with 2011. To simplify, use Dec 20th to *Complete/Release* (past) and Dec 21st to *Initiate/Anchor* (future) and be *PRESENT* the whole time!

~ ECLIPSES ~

The other thing worth mentioning at this time is that we will experience the Lunar Eclipse, a brilliant time to release old thought patterns and lifeless stories ... and then about *16* hours later, we have the brand New Beginning of *Winter* Solstice, when we seed our (Capricorn) reality for the coming year. Based on all that is stable and worthy, we expand on what we birthed in 2010 ... while that which has not taken root or proven sustainable, must be released so your individual resources can be redirected more efficiently. This is the time to plant your seeds that will quicken by *Spring* Equinox and fully bloom by *Summer* Solstice 2011.

~ SACRED SEASON ~

*Winter* Solstice ~~ Initiates the Solar year and welcomes the Return of the Light. Things appear dormant on the surface, however, much life is developing beneath the surface ~ in preparation for Spring. Still a time of relative darkness and limited mobility, you are most supported for working behind the scenes, communing with other realms, honoring darkness and silence and receiving information, nourishment and replenishment with a clear intention of strengthening yourself for soon-to-come action and forward movement. Next Season is a little more 'mental' but this Sacred Season is about what you *feel* on the deepest levels and creating space to move from that Center within ... out in to the world to be a useful and dynamic participant in Life. This is the time of year to set your intentions for what you want to create, within your own Being and out in the world through good works. It's time to strategize about the future, while building on what is solid and worthy. It's time to take the past year's 'fruits of your labor' and put them to good use. It's time to get serious and practical about what you want and create a plan for success.

Sagittarius 2010 ~ Activating Your NEW Truth & Purpose

2010-12-07T01:31:00.002-05:00

SAGITTARIUS 2010:
Activating Your *NEW* Truth & Purpose

To move into true spiritual power
requires an INTERNAL discipline -
to sit each day with ourselves,
to renew our behavior and choices,
and develop consciousness.
~ Caroline Myss, Author ~

Sagittarius energy launches a personal and global Spiritual Quest to create a life that reflects our Highest Truth. There are some incredibly powerful shifts affecting everyone this month and next. It is vital that I remind you of the planetary support we all have access to at this time as it is more than the usual "shifts" - we are ALL AT A MAJOR LIFE CROSSROADS!

Sagittarius requires us to take a moment to make meaning out of all the information we have gathered over the last 6mo - 2yr. And last month, Scorpio energy brought some very real, deeply buried issues to the surface and further revealed what is truly ending, complete and finished in your life. The reason for this is the end-of-an-era energy going on at this time. We really are ending some HUGE cycles, personally and globally, and beginning completely NEW ones. There is no more postponing, putting on the back-burner, avoiding, burying, or sweeping under the rug - basically, there is no more rug - no more cover! Not to totally negate free will and choice, you must remember that you can run but you can't hide (from Self) so you can "choose" to postpone or face things once and for all and move freely, LIGHTER, to the next level. It is time to subjugate your ego to that of higher, Divine Will.

If you find that things are dis-integrating in your life, keep in mind that some things have to "break" to heal correctly and re-integrate stronger. Many people are experiencing career change, relationships ending, income streams shifting, health issues popping up (or getting worse), please know that it truly is Divine Order. You are changing, growing, evolving, and when YOU change - everyone (and everything) else around you must shift too (or go away, even temporarily). These are "growing pains" or "labor pains" you are feeling and while they may seem unbearable in the moment, it is not a permanent condition. You are in the VOID - between the old and the new - where you have to focus - you have to breathe - and be present, keeping in mind the most optimistic possible outcome because if you give in to the fear, you only create more pain, more challenges & more karma to clear.

When you catch yourself giving in to the fear (False Evidence Appearing Real) and gravitating toward the worst-case scenarios, it can be infinitely effective to immediately correct those thoughts with the Highest outcome you can possibly imagine in that moment. My thinking is, if we are in a space where "anything can happen" - which I believe we are - then why not only connect to the miracles? Why can't that "anything" be fantastic rather than horrible? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? It is your choice. But know this, it is an infinitely creative time - WHATEVER you think or imagine is instantly created and eventually (sooner or later) manifested.

Sagittarius time is the time in between the end (of the old) and the beginning (of the new), in between the invisible (Scorpio) and the visible (Capricorn) energies, where the possibilities are only limited by your imagination and ability to believe in your Self and the Universe (faith). (Next month we move in to Capricorn where we begin to make the vision tangible and the physical work begins.) Sag asks everyone to reconsider their definition of Truth, Faith and Purpose. We are being presented with a tremendous OPPORTUNITY (Jupiter) the whole month of December. One month is scant time to free your mind of limitations, detach from appearances and focus ONLY on the Highest possible outcomes you can imagine (to any issue / problem / goal / objective). There are some powerful planetary shifts which are opening gateways to energy allowing us to readily connect to the Infinite Source of all creation. Take advantage of this time!!

Sagittarius 2010 ~ Next Step is FAITH

2010-12-07T01:25:00.003-05:00

SAGITTARIUS 2010:
The Next Step is FAITH

Most of the change we think we see in life
is due to 'truths' being IN and OUT of favor.
~ Robert Frost, Poet ~

This month's theme is:
FIERY ENTHUSIASM, EXPANSION
& SPIRITUAL QUEST!
As represented by
SAGITTARIUS, JUPITER
and 9th House.

SAGITTARIUS:
Expansion Requires Conscientiousness
GEMINI:
Information Requires Wisdom

Scorpio brought some very real, very heavy duty stuff to the surface for most people. That kind of deep, energetic-shift is the catalyst for the *Spiritual Quest* energy of Sag. Sagittarius is the adventurer and researcher of the zodiac, curious about the deeper meaning of all things and cultivating Truth. Since we know all seeds germinate in the darkness, where Scorpio's magic breathes life in to Taurus' Garden, we now encounter the most vital part of the process ... Sag's unwavering FAITH ... faith in the process that leads to Capricorn's tangible Earthly results (form).

With all this transition and energy to integrate, we have so much to be grateful for, and a small window to connect to the Infinite possibilities (one month in this context). It is time to free your mind, allow your imagination to be free, tune in to Sag's fiery, passionate energy for The Quest: for knowledge, for meaning and Truth. What story do you want to tell? What contribution do you want to make during this pivotal point in history? How often have you 'wondered' what the world would be like if everyone would do their part for their own development ~ AS WELL AS ~ do their part for the community to which they belong?

If you are having a hard time getting in the Spirit of 'imagining a new world', the "I-Wonder" method is very effective. As Caroline W. Casey would say, "Believe nothing, entertain possibilities!" If you struggle with believing or having faith, then don't 'believe' ... just allow your Self to WONDER. Here are few starters, then make up some of your own.

"I Wonder" ... what my life would be like if I did what I LOVE and loved what I do?
"I Wonder" ... what my life would be like if I was in a loving, reciprocal relationship?
"I Wonder" ... what my life would be like if I was completely debt-free and connected to Infinite *FLOW* ~ cash flow, creative flow and energetic flow?
"I Wonder" ...

This is your opportunity to tap that part of your consciousness, bring some ideas that you have buried over the years back to the surface, dust them off and see if there are any remaining components worthy of a renewed investment.

Think ahead ...
•What are the needs of the short and long-term future?
•What are the needs for you as an individual? for us all as a collective?
•How can you contribute to this evolution?
•What has meaning for you?
•What gets you excited or outraged and motivated to action?

Pick something near and dear to your heart, something you want to be a part of and start there. Even if you get there and things are not what you thought they'd be, it may be leading you somewhere else, useful and relevant to your journey. You can hear your MIND out on ideas and concepts, but choose your course of action based on the *response* of your HEART. You're in new territory on many levels at once. Tune in to the spirit of adventure, rather than the fear of the unknown. We have expanded beyond previous parameters and there is no going back, so it is time to chart your course FROM HERE & NOW. Enjoy this time because, trust me, the Capricorn WORK is right around the corner.

Sagittarius time gives you PERMISSION to expand out to the far reaches of the Universe, cast the net of aspiration and see what you make it back with by month's end. Whatever is delicious and nourishing, useful and relevant and solid enough to build on, is what you begin the next leg of your journey with.

If you made it this far (if you "Wonder"), perhaps you will go a little further and imagine all that you need, desire and deserve *is and always will be* provided so you are free to CO-CREATE & SERVE! Remember FEELING is how we bring things in to the 3-D, so tune in to your HEART and FEEL this new level of existence, as well as the next step.

Sagittarius 2010 ~ Aspire to a NEW Truth & Story

2010-12-07T01:20:00.002-05:00

SAGITTARIUS 2010:
Aspire to a *NEW* Truth & Story

Too many people are thinking of security
instead of opportunity.
They seem to be more afraid of life
... than they are of death!
~ James F Byrnes, Govt Official ~

If you truly aspire to a *NEW* Truth, then a *NEW* Story will unfold organically. It helps to read the cues from the Universe and face your own Truth so that you can consciously *aspire* to something greater. Then your Higher Self begins to assist and molecules begin to move. Last month, Scorpio dug it up, this month, Sag will help you make *meaning* out of the revelations of the last 1-6-12 months. Sagittarius is the most spiritual of all the energies. Among many other complex things, it represents wisdom, higher learning and exploration. Gemini, Sag's opposite represents *information* and how we gather along the way; Sag represents *wisdom* and how we making meaning out of the info gathered. This is the energy of learning all about new philosophies and ways of life.

At this time, you are in the unique position of being awake and conscious during a global shift, and you can now CHOOSE the Truth you would like your life to be/express. You are ready to take things to the next level with your spiritual development and learning. This is about expansion and growth, going beyond where you are now. That requires a certain amount of trust, which comes when you're connected to your Spirit and your Truth. This whole year has been preparing everyone to live in some completely new (and sometimes totally foreign) ways. Now, you have direct access to this energy and this month, you have a chance to add your "intent" to what the Universe is cooking up. Don't wait for things to happen TO you - connect to what will make your life have more meaning and expand your horizons and EXPECT things to happen FOR you!

This energy comes on the heels of Scorpio's excavation of Soul. Some heavy truths were revealed, for better or worse. Now, Sag gives you the opportunity to make meaning out of the information coming to the surface. Whatever has come to the surface in your life at this time (in the last 6mo-2yr) - ask your Self is it TRUTH for you (here and now today)? It turns out that many things, especially as we enter this new energy / new frequency, are simply no longer true. It does not totally invalidate them, or negate their value, it is just that what WAS true in the past is no longer true in the present, nor will it be of any use in the future.

SAGITTARIUS ASKS ...
· What did you learn on your journey thru the dark night of the soul?
· What do you want your Truth to be?
· How can all that struggle and sacrifice bring you closer to your ideal?
· What can be improved upon at this juncture?

Scorpio dug it all up, now Sag gives you an opportunity to tell a *NEW* story. This is the time you can dream big, expand your mind releasing all (perceived) limitations and see what comes up. It is time to question many long-held truths and beliefs which will not serve you on this next leg of your journey. One month is scant time, indulge yourself at this time and allow your Self ONE MONTH to consciously practice connecting with the Highest ideals for your life, environment and community. Really stretch!! It is so true, until you can actually picture it - VIVIDLY - in your mind's eye / your imagination - you will have a hard time manifesting it - whatever it is. And when you add feeling/emotion to the *thoughts*, and it will manifest even quicker. Practice *feeling* your desires as if you've attained them. What would it feel like to have your deepest heart's desire come in to being? Practice. Familiarize your Self with the feeling that you're exploring. Allow your Self the creative visualization time. (Next month, Capricorn will help you ground it and form a strategy for making the vision tangible, for now, just dream as big as possible!)

When working with this energy (and that includes Sagittarius, Jupiter and 9th House issues), you want to think outside the box - think BIG!! It's hard for most people to think big because their inner dialogue is usually, "I don't have the time or the money or the whatever-it-may-be". Release that JUST for today (just for an hour) and imagine that you have ALL THE MONEY AND TIME IN THE WORLD - EVERYTHING ~ is provided and taken care of ... now what would you do with your time, energy and resources? THAT'S Sagittarius energy - it's fiery, passionate, enthusiastic, go-for-it energy. So for this month, even if it's only on paper, THINK BIG!!

One of the things that will help you in connecting to this energy also is being in nature. When you cannot get to a place in nature, then put on an ocean or rain CD (or any soothing nature sounds). If not, then use your imagination and take time to go to a place that gives you peace and meditate there until you feel completely peaceful and then start writing things down that you'd like to do, be or have. The Sag energy is about being so enthusiastic about a philosophy that you become it and express it and you actually become a larger presence because of your enthusiasm for it, expanding your own and others' horizons. It's time to walk-the-walk and actually LIVE YOUR TRUTH ... in action, word and deed.

SCORPIO 2010 ~ Embrace the Unknown & Expect Miracles

SCORPIO 2010

Embrace the Unknown & Expect Miracles

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared,
ambition inspired, and success achieved.
- Helen Keller -

*SCORPIO* time reminds us to ... "be ever-mindful of the cues the Universe is giving you."

Now that we are entering Scorpio time, in addition to several very rare planetary alignments, more than ever we are being called to believe in that which we cannot see. The "cues from the Universe" are increasing with the current Scorpio energy of karma and creation.

If you tune in, which is simply the act of being still and quiet, you will receive guidance you may not have ever realized was available to you. This is the time of year when the veil is thinnest between the visible and invisible worlds. The Scorpio/Taurus polarity is the personification of this principle. All seeds germinate in the darkness - under the surface (Scorpio) before they break through that real or perceived top layer of "soil" to manifest and blossom in the physical realm (Taurus) of your current reality. This is the time of year when you have ready access to ancestral (and astral) help. I have said for some time now, that due to the unprecedented planetary shifts, we can no longer rely on "human help" as we may like to, or have historically done. Invisible help is much more readily available and even more effective. This month, call on your angels, ancestors and guides as they are waiting only for your invitation. They cannot help if you do not ask or invite their assistance.

You will encounter more endings this month as your Path is cleared for the new energy to more fully exist in your daily reality. (Your old reality cannot support nor sustain this powerful new energy coming in.)

·You may notice things that used to work, no longer work for you
·You may notice people leaving your Path (for a myriad of reasons) who may or may not ever return
·You may notice you are being forced to face and actually deal with some very dark, repressed parts of your Soul
·You may notice your new Path solidifying as the old Path dissolves behind you
·You may notice initial fear, which will force you to surrender to the process (which is unfolding whether you think you are ready or not)

You will find that if you do NOT surrender, your Path will be that much more challenging and dark. Do not for one moment allow this blanket of darkness hold you hostage, that is not the point of this energy. The point of this energy is to allow the natural process of creation to occur. You can plant the seeds, you can nurture the seeds, but you cannot force or hasten them to grow. Everything develops in due course (and in Divine Time and Order). But always remember that if you do not plant the seeds and if you do not nurture them, then you can GUARANTEE they will not grow. So on faith, you must do your part in the co-creation of this reality, you must be consistent, patient and above all you must plant these seeds with an unwavering KNOWING that they will explode in to reality one day very soon.

This is the time of year you are reminded of your innate power to create your life, on every level. Your thoughts, words, and deeds will manifest with lightning speed and it is your CHOICE whether to surrender to the darkness or to the Light. In every moment, we choose how we are going to respond to whatever person, energy or circumstance is before us. It requires a tremendous amount of personal responsibility to face both the blessings and the challenges of your chosen path. And that is what time it is - time to inhale back your own authority to make decisions for your own life; to assume total responsibility for the choices you have made thus far; to own the responsibility of shifting your personal direction (if need be); as well as assuming total responsibility for faithfully staying the course which resonates most deeply within YOUR Soul.

So often we humans are gifted at holding on to all the negative people and circumstances. This is an opportunity for you to acknowledge ALL THE BLESSINGS you have attracted, manifested and created from your positive thoughts, words and deeds. It is a powerful affirmation to recognize and honor that goal which you set some time ago and now are clearly amidst its manifestation. YOU DID THAT!! You brought it in to existence. That is a powerful gift you can give your Self that will create more momentum than you can imagine for further creating all that you need, desire and deserve. So as you are "clearing karmic debris" in order to plant more seeds of wonder, recognize the little blossoms which you have carefully cultivated and brought in to being. Honor the blessings you have attracted in to your life and environment, for they are many. And putting your thoughts on these blessings, focusing with powerful feeling & intention, will attract even more to come in to focus for you, broadening your vision.

This Scorpio time, more than any recent year, is about taking that GIANT STEP FORWARD ... in to the unknown! We are wrapping up another Venus Cycle, 2004 & 2012, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for everyone (it only happens every 140+ years), redefining our values and resources individually, socially and collectively. We are on the back-side of this cycle, where do you want to end up come 2012? You are the one who determines what the next leg of this journey is going to be like for yourself. This is your "clean slate" - your chance to really co-create your reality anew. Just do the work - seeds germinate in the darkness and sometimes you cannot actually, physically see the growth (and progress) but that does not mean it is not happening. You must still tend to your creation faithfully and when it does begin to sprout, nurture it to full development. It is your responsibility to nurture and protect what you create. Everyone is at different stages of this ... some of us are still gathering compost - really digging deep and clearing karmic debris; some of us have cleared our karmic debris and have started building; and yet others are directing their energy to sustain what they've created and which is thriving.

How much have you already cleared?
How much have you already created?
What is the next step in your current evolution?

This year, Venus (values/priorities) is Retrograding through Scorpio/Libra, indicating that we all need to review how we direct our power within relationships, what our motivations are for relating with others and what we are willing to commit to. The last time Venus Retrograded through Scorpio was 2002, which is worth reflecting on what *transformations* occurred since then, as well as any gifts suppressed since then. This month, we have a chance to plant the seeds of our heart's desire, especially with both Mars and Venus together throughout Libra and Scorpio, recalibrating Divine Masculine & Divine Feminine within and around us. This suggests to me that before we can truly CREATE (Scorpio) the relationships we deserve and express the truth of who we are, we need a review of what's most vital and important (Venus). Once you get things organized in your own mind and heart: who you are, what you have to offer, your own self-worth, your authentic voice ~ only then, can you create (Scorpio) and/or attract in (Venus) the passionate, reciprocal and balanced interactions you need, desire and deserve, both personally and professionally.

Remember that everything and everyone in your life is a reflection of you and you attracted it in, for better or worse. Do not focus on the negative, as much as acknowledge where you were not clear in your intention so you did not attract what you wanted. And yes, adjust accordingly, but focus primarily on the positive things, people and events you have attracted in for they will fortify you to deal with the rest. As humans, we are prone to holding on to and remembering the negative (pain is a heckuva motivator) but the truth is if you are not using that information to IMPROVE on your circumstance, then it is simply a distraction delaying truth and your good. It’s a new day, and it is time for you to connect to all the strength you can muster, all the good you are capable of, all the truth you can handle (and even some you don’t think you can), all the courage you possess and all the wisdom you have acquired thus far to navigate these choppy waters. You can do it, but you have to "be ever-mindful of the cues the Universe is giving you".

Heart is Essential to ALL Life

Heart is Essential to ALL Life

Only connect!
Only connect the prose and the passion,
and both will be exalted, and
human love will be seen at its height.
Live in fragments no longer.
Only connect.
~ Edward M Forster, Writer ~

LIBRA: Balance Requires Loving Self & Others
ARIES: Independence Requires Responsibility

HEART
You can live without many organs, but NOT the HEART! That transcends your physicality and reminds you that NOTHING LIVES WITHOUT HEART! And the overall health of any living thing can be assessed by the strength and health of the heart. Venus, when it rules Libra, reminds us that love really does conquer all and not that mushy, passive stuff ~ I'm talking love the *verb* ~ strong, fierce, passionate love. Love of life; love for the planet; love for your work; love for your family; love you would fight and die for ... love you cannot live without!

Where there is LOVE,
there is LIFE.
~ Gandhi ~

How is your heart at this time?
Physically, the heart (which sustains your life force) is it healthy and strong at this time?
Meta-Physically, the heart of your life's work (which feeds and sustains you and your community) is that in proper working order?
This year has been pivotal in planting the seeds of your future. How are things growing in your personal garden?
Have you planted things that will grow, evolve and feed one another and, ultimately, feed you and others?
Have you planted things that will bear fruit and/or bring beauty in to your world?
Or perhaps you just realized you need a garden of your own and have been clearing a patch in your life where you will eventually plant the seeds of your future.

Wherever you are in your personal process, the planetary energies are supporting your evolution and reminding you that nothing you do will ever matter if there is no HEART involved.

Libra energy reminds you to connect with inner balance and cultivate community with love and compassion. While Venus, Libra's ruler, is currently traveling through Scorpio, reminding us that seeds germinate in the darkness and planting a garden or building a community can be funky yet necessary work. Venus in Libra will attune you to the beauty, peace and balance. But in Scorpio, she reminds you that beauty is not always pretty but can be fierce and powerful, deep and transformative, but above all, PURE & HONEST.

TIME
During 2010-2012, Saturn is moving through Libra, where it is considered *exalted*. This is a time to re-establish balance within the structure of your body, as well as the structure of your life. It's time to re-negotiate all relationships, partnerships and co-ops, to bring all agreements up to date. This only happens every 28-years, so this is definitely an opportunity to release all toxic interactions (and relationships) and blockages to balance in your life. Now, theoretically, when you change, everyone around you has to change - or go away. There is a path within that has been cleared and now you are better able to commune directly with your own heart, listening to its promptings and following it wherever it leads. If/when you're ready, you will be ready to invite love and abundance in, you have an opportunity to share the "new you" and create new and delicious new collaborations. Power Wishes should focus on magnetizing the people, community, love and abundance that will match your energy and level of consciousness.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.
~ Rumi ~

Time to delve within your own heart as Venus, Libra's Ruler, asks:

Are your priorities in order?
What's it worth to you?
What is most important to you where love is concerned?
What is most important to you where your resources are concerned?
Are you worthy of love and abundance?
Are the people you are currently invested in worthy (those who get the lion's share of your personal resources of time, energy and often, money)?

RESOURCES
Remember, whatever you invest those precious resources in ~ is telling the Universe that it is what you value the most and what's most important to you. Are the people you have closest to you an accurate reflection of who you are? So often, we block ourselves from love, literally and/or emotionally. Sometimes consciously, owning your fear of commitment, fear of loss or fear of betrayal; sometimes unconsciously, sabotaging things as soon as there is any kind of conflict, real investment or compromise required.

Love and money, Venus' domain, seem to be front and center for many at this time. This is time to focus on how you manifested the relationships you are experiencing now, how worthy of further investment they are and what you are really willing to sacrifice and compromise on.
Are your current relationships: reciprocal? balanced? nourishing? loving? beautiful?

SCORPIO
And with Venus traveling through Scorpio, is it all worth it? where's the substance? where's the deeper connection(s)? Mars recently joined her in Scorpio, where lies, deceit and hypocrisy will not be tolerated provoking folks to ugly outbursts and confrontations, demanding truth. However, be sure if you are in that position (demanding truth from others) that you are prepared to accept the truth you receive.

There is nothing in a caterpillar
that tells you it is going to be a butterfly.
~ Buckminster Fuller ~

Inanna is the Goddess most closely associated with Venus as she expresses the Scorpio side her nature, which suggests that in order to return to the Light, you will have to sacrifice many aspects of your being which you've accumulated over time and which may be weighing you down and blocking love and abundance from fully manifesting in your life. She asks that you look within for a deeper perspective, face your fears and commit to listening to your own heart, acting with courage and integrity in all your associations with others ... and then that will be all you attract.

Libra time is our annual opportunity to focus on relationships, collaborations and what you're cultivating in the community. You will magnetize and bring in the people, places, resources and circumstances which MATCH *YOUR* ENERGY.

Cultivating Kinship ~ Within & Without

2010-09-27T02:11:00.005-04:00

Cultivating Kinship ~ Within & Without

The artist has a special task and duty -
the task of reminding men
of their humanity and
the promise of their creativity!
~ Louis Mumford, Historian/Philosopher ~

Venus rules art, and art is one undeniable demonstration of our kinship. Art transcends language and communicates something directly to your Soul that needs no translation. Kinship means, "a close connection marked by community of interests or similarity in nature or character" - that applies to us as a human race and as a planet. From our households to our place in the solar system, we are all connected. However, Venus also rules sovereignty, and humans in general are simultaneously seeking a level of independence and a deep connection within, as well as within the context of our relationships, communities and countries. It is time to cultivate that sovereignty and kinship ourselves. A healthy Libra energy working in your life would facilitate balance ... balance and reciprocity in your relationships (personal and professional), balance in your approach to your health, and balance between the self vs. other dynamic.

As Venus preceded the Sun, passing through Libra, together they animate true kinship and remind us of our humanity and ability to attract all that we need, desire and deserve when it is done with unconditional love and contributes to the good of the whole. Twice a year (at least) we get to focus on the push-pull between individual needs and desires and the collective needs and desires. It is our obligation to exhaust every possibility to create win/win situations in all our interactions.

Because no man is an island, no one "does it/gets there" alone or all on their own, it is imperative that you live your life and set your goals in a way that, yes, absolutely serve your needs, but ALSO serve others in some way, shape or form. An example of something tangible, would be my R*Evolutions Datebook. I wanted a datebook that had all the info I think is relevant in one place, at a glance, and in words rather than symbols. Once I mentioned it to a few people, many agreed, that was something they would love to have as well. So now I have created something that serves my needs and others' needs as well, making it an automatic success.

An intangible example would be a common desire for a sense of belonging. Generally, that comes when one is surrounded with unconditional love and infinite beauty. I asked around, it seems others are looking for that same sense of belonging, a sense of community where everyone contributes joyfully to the success of the whole, where everyone is eager to support, uplift and exchange energy as well as resources with each other so that the whole group is exalted to a higher level of existence.

When you want anything in life, you have to broaden your scope and you have to BE what you want to ATTRACT. Libra wants peace, love, beauty, balance, justice and fairness. So you have to BE all that to bring it in to your 3D/realm of existence. You cannot "be" all that if you are drained from making sure everyone else is being or doing all of the above and you are not doing it for your Self. Libra energy tends to give and give and give, until they are empty without any reserves even, then their opposite, Aries anger kicks in, and they reveal the victim consciousness of the Libra energy. But that is not the highest expression of this energy. The highest expression comes when you INTEGRATE the Aries / Libra dynamic by accessing the courage to be an individual who considers all sides before making a move or decision and only does so when they have figured out the win/win possibilities.

The way of honoring (this energy)

is by making things beautiful.

Remembering that the opposite of

'aesthetic' is 'anesthetic'.

There is no solution to anything

unless Venus is involved -

unless beauty and love are present.

~ Caroline W Casey, Astrologer/Activist ~

SOLUTIONS are what we are trying to find and/or create. Venus and the Libra energy can help us in our quest. (Venus also rules Taurus, but that is where values and resources are concerned, among other things.) With Libra, it is more about the vital interrelatedness of all things, of cultivating reciprocal relationships and infusing everything you think, say and do with genuine beauty and boundless, unconditional love. Love and beauty cannot reside where all feeling and sensation have been numbed or disconnected from Source. We must commit to breathing new life back in to, first ourselves and our own households, then move out in to the community and cities across the world.

I believe that ...
imagination is stronger than knowledge,
myth is more potent than history,
dreams are more powerful than facts,
hope always triumphs over experience,
laughter is the cure for grief,
love is stronger than death.
~ Robert Fulghum, Author ~

FALL Equinox 2010 Celebration

3rd Annual *Fall* Equinox Gathering

With courage you will dare to take risks,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.
~ Keshavan Nair, Author & Speaker ~

~ The Annual Harvest ~

It is a time of ASSESSING, HARVESTING & COMPLETING the first half of the natural year, and planning & initiating the second half. What do you absolutely want DONE by the end of 2009? How can you go forward in to 2010 on more of a CLEAN SLATE?

This *Sacred* Season is About ...

~ Harvest ~

Assess what you've produced/accomplished in the last 6mo
~ Evaluate & Rectify ~

Assess what worked and what did not work
~ Balance & Integrate ~

Assess what you need to do/have/be more or less of going forward
~ Pause for the Cause ~

Transition times are times to be still, tune in and prepare for new season

We'd like to invite all of you to join me, Shanta and the Power Circle to follow up the powerful initiation we launched during Spring Equinox of March 2010.

This *Fall* Equinox is a time of BALANCE. It is time of balance between Light & Shadow and takes us from movement out in the world, to more inner, "work with what you've got" energy, using your resources and creations to BUILD ON, primarily behind the scenes in preparation for Spring Initiation.

One potent addition to the Equinoxes and Solstices is Pluto's 16-year journey through Capricorn, which will directly engage the Sun at each and every turn of the Wheel. There are several other activations and on-going themes, but Pluto's *Purification* and *Distillation* process is the longest and most transformative. A new beginning ~ fresh start ~ clean slate is available through the Jupiter/Uranus in Aries Activation ... and who better to assist with clearing the debris and releasing the non-essential to make *room* for your 'new beginning' ~ than Pluto, Lord of Purification & Transformation. Your essential nature (Sun) and the purest, deepest part of you (Pluto) connect in a rhythm every year, four times a year for 16 years (2008-2024). As it reshapes you from the inside out, so too will the collective shapeshift.

The 4 *ANNUAL* Activations ~ 2008-2024:
~ Initiation ~ Winter Solstice / Capricorn
~ First Test ~ Spring Equinox / Aries
~ Integration ~ Summer Solstice / Cancer
~ Final Test ~ Fall Equinox / Libra

Some astrologers consider Conjunctions, Oppositions and Squares as "hard" and "negative", however, I do not ever subscribe to "blanket rules or assessments" when seasons and human beings are in the mix ~ *ANYTHING* IS POSSIBLE! These connections, which the planets make to each other, facilitate movement and necessary change. If you are ready, open and receptive, they ASSIST you in moving to the next level, creating tangible results and measurable progress. If you are not ready, narrow-minded and/or resistant to change, then yes, it is going to be more challenging ... but you'll be in new territory nonetheless.

The *Initiation* is *Winter* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto get together (conjunction) in Capricorn, increasing each other's power to purify you and your intentions for the coming new year. They advise, "First, you must rest, replenish, mature and gather strength (power)." *Spring* and *Fall* Equinox, when Sun/Pluto have to consciously work out their differences (square), and you are moved possibly out of your comfort zone, but in to new territory. *Summer* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto have to balance and integrate (opposition) all that you've initiated at Spring-time; it's a time of blossoming and expanding and you are moved to accommodate all that you've created in new, innovative ways.

You are *READY*!! Don't look back, practice presence & mindfulness and apply new strategies for living. I hope you'll join us for this celebration.

Breakdown Precedes the Breakthrough

2010-08-29T18:36:00.013-04:00

The world is not to be put in order;
the world IS Order incarnate.
It is for us to harmonize with this order!

This month we get several opportunities to connect to a deep and powerful healing, for ourselves and our planet. We can heal our past, present and future by grounding our intent at this time. This month, we do a lot of sorting and sifting, organizing and clearing that which no longer serves. The first rule of the Universe is ORDER. This is the time to get your life - mind, body and spirit - in ORDER. Consider it a renovation of sorts ... renovating the "old you" - to rebuild a better, stronger, more efficient & effective "new you". The "new you" has all the old reliable and sturdy parts, but now we are "upgrading" other parts and then integrating the two. And above all, remember this is an energy affecting EVERYONE in one way or another, and we are all at different stages in the process of "renovating" our lives, whether physical, financial, mental, spiritual, emotional or all of the above. (Mutual respect for each other's process and a little compassion go a long way.)

The reason people renovate places instead of bulldozing them to the ground, is because they have inherent value which they seek to preserve. It is time for you to FIND the value within YOU and PRESERVE IT by any means necessary. In order to do that, you have to inspect and assess what's damaged and what's still solid and useful (about your self and your circumstance). Once you have assessed what goes and what stays, that's when it gets messy and uncomfortable, because then you have to actually start pulling the place apart.

Your effort to improve will inevitably make others uncomfortable too. Be ready for that. As you change, everything around you changes ... or goes away. What I have discovered is ~ those people and circumstances which leave during these periods of cleansing and healing, sometimes are only gone temporarily and eventually reintegrate back in to your life, accepting you for who you are and forging new, stronger bonds. While other people and circumstances that leave your life at this time, leave permanently and that is ultimately for the greater good - to have them gone SOONER than later, be grateful - not sad.

This month, you have access to discerning what is relevant and useful in the present moment.

Nothing is worth more than THIS DAY.
You cannot re-live yesterday.
Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.

What are you doing in the present moment to really take your life and circumstance to the next level?
And what are you doing in the present moment which no longer serves your Highest good, nor does it express the Truth of who you ARE (TODAY)?
What are you doing DAILY to make your dreams, visions and aspirations happen?
Are you stuck in survival mode? (a distraction)
Are you helping other grown folks when you don't have your own life in order? (a distraction)
Are you attracting chaos & crises? (a distraction)
What do you do to honor your word to your SELF? (We always make more effort to keep our word to others.)
What are you doing this day that feeds your soul?
What are you doing to express who you are TODAY?
Do YOU believe you are the same person from a year - 5 - 10 years ago?

If you know that you ARE a different person, then the sooner YOU acknowledge and honor that "new you", the sooner the rest of the world will too.

This month is your chance to:

Release guilt and embrace the value of each experience's lesson while forgiving your Self and others for any transgressions as well.
Release criticism and embrace compassion and patience with the process (as you would expect for yourself as you grow and learn).
Release the need to have everything "perfect" before expressing it and embrace trusting your Self to know how to respond in any given situation.
Release all petty distractions and embrace your inner authority to direct your own energy (consciously).

This is the energy of the "realistic dreamer". So take advantage of the energy which supports you in opening the channels, allowing the flow of energy between you and the Universe, facilitating the healing. As you are healed and once you clear the debris of the past, doing the work (realistic) then attracting the "dream" is effortless.

Healing & Unity ... Within FIRST!

2010-08-29T18:23:00.006-04:00

We must not, in trying to think about
how we can make a big difference,
ignore the small daily differences
we CAN make which,
over time, add up to big differences
that we often cannot foresee.

VIRGO: Healing Requires Faith
PISCES: Unity Requires Order

This season is so important, and taking advantage of every possible form of support and good energy, (planetary or otherwise) is vital to making a smooth transition to the next leg of this particular journey. This energy will feed you in a way that fuels your process, making you more effective in your preparation for tangible results. However, if you are not ready, it may also frustrate you by pointing out every crack in your personal system, scattering your energy to the point that you don't know where to even begin because there are too many tasks at hand. BREATHE! and remember you can always CHOOSE to express this energy in a different way in any given moment.

True to Virgo form, yes, a light is shining on all that is still YET to do before 2010 ends and 2011 begins. Hence all these goodies ~ I want you as healthy and prepared as you possibly can be at this pivotal time in our history. Virgo energy is here to assist you in: sorting and sifting, organizing and planning, healing and replenishing ... your being ~ your life ~ your environment ~ your community ~ and most of all, your many and varied personal and professional SYSTEMS for living ... it is time!

Honor your core being by using the current energy to genuinely dig deep, and find the SEED of who you are becoming. What will it take to bring that seed to LIFE? You have been stripped of all the non-essential (one way or another), and all that is left, is that seed of promise within ... this seed will lie dormant until the right season, perfect conditions and Divine Order collide to support this particular life. (You can help that along if you wish, with your thoughts, intentions, words and deeds.)

At the moment of commitment
the Universe conspires to
ASSIST YOU!

All the various activations (transits and planetary line-ups) throughout this year (and last year) are directing you. (How well do you take direction?) The Sign energies bring the lessons and the Houses they travel through activate those areas of your life which need attention at this time. What you do, don't do and intend to do for the last quarter of this year will determine where you end up (blossoming) come Spring 2011. Fall and Winter in our hemisphere is your chance to PROCESS the past, heal and REPLENISH on many levels, and ORGANIZE/SET UP your future.

This is the time of the year when focusing on the 'little things' is not considered a distraction, sabotage or delaying your good. This is actually your chance to PAUSE (for the cause). It is time to catch up EVERYTHING and get organized for the second half of the natural year (Spring to Spring calendar year makes each Fall the half-way mark of the year.) How is this year unfolding for you so far? What do you want to be? be doing? be giving? be sharing? come Spring 2011? For wherever you are on your Path to the next level, taking advantage of the planetary support this month and getting these things DONE ~ is made even more pertinent as Mercury Retrogrades through Virgo (8/20 - 9/12), extending the period and supporting your *process*. As that happens, you'll be forced to do a major review, replenish your energy stores and re-work your plan.

The irony of commitment is that
it is deeply liberating ...
in work, in play, in love.
Be Committed!

Virgo is the time to purify, heal and work on your Self ~ in preparation for Libra time. Libra represents relationships, collaborations and what we cultivate in the community. You will magnetize and bring in the people, places, resources and circumstances which MATCH *YOUR* ENERGY. Virgo is here to PERFECT YOU! Once you get a plan for your Self, clear your debris and get ready for sharing your energies with others come Libra time. Mercury Retrograde is actually assisting you in this process as it will help change your thinking on something critical you may have forgotten or overlooked.

This time is about YOU and your life and where it is heading. Is it moving in a direction of YOUR choosing and design? Also, in addition to organizing your life, this is your heads-up to back up your computers, get maintenance done on your vehicles (bikes or cars), and generally prepare yourself for as best you can so that if/when delays or confusion arises, you can breathe through it. The more you prepare now, the smoother the remainder of the year will go. Whatever you do not get done, simply keep moving and do what you can, because we are still amidst the Summer Retrogrades which always tend to bring delays, do-overs and/or miscommunications where both humans and machines are concerned.

The ability to simplify means
to eliminate the unnecessary
so that the necessary may speak.

Trust me, Order is the FIRST Law of the Universe, whatever 'order' you can create in your world will only make your world that much more interesting to live in. Order is usually simpler than we humans make it out to be, so simplify any/everything you can and get your priorities straight. If you tip-toe ahead a bit, dream a little, think of where you want to be come Spring 2011 (6 months) and Fall 2011 (1 year)? Then work backwards from THAT VISION and map out your steps, create a schedule, draw up a blueprint ... one that allows for re-visions as you go.

LEO 2010 ~ Attracting All That You Need, Desire & Deserve

2010-07-31T04:21:00.005-04:00

~ LEO 2010 ~

Attracting All That You Need, Desire & Deserve

The heights great men reached and kept,
were not obtained by sudden flight ...
But they, while their companions slept,
were toiling upward in the night.

Winner's Blueprint for Achievement:
BELIEVE while others are doubting.
PLAN while others are playing.
STUDY while others are sleeping.
DECIDE while others are delaying.
PREPARE while others are daydreaming.
BEGIN while others are procrastinating.
WORK while others are wishing.
SAVE while others are wasting.
LISTEN while others are talking.
SMILE while others are frowning.
COMMEND while others are criticizing.
PERSIST while others are quitting.

This month is ALL ABOUT YOU ... the NEW you!! Release all that is no longer "truth" for you - on all levels. Begin the process of integrating these amazing new aspects you've recently discovered about your Self and HONOR who you have worked so hard to become!!

As you integrate on this new level, your ego may struggle against the shift. Ego wants to lead but unfortunately it finds fulfillment in the fleeting, whereas Spirit only seeks peace. The key is to allow Spirit to lead your healthy, empowered ego. These inner urges (the ego) should be handled with strength and firmness, yet NOT repressed and broken or we lose power and potency to survive and make our way in life. Do you see animals in nature allowing other animals to distract them from their prey (goal)? No, you don't. Iron-will and great courage are necessary to manifest the Spiritual vision within you as well as out in the world. You must CHANNEL any anger/rage, which immobilizes you - in to outrage, which empowers you and motivates you to action. There will always be some sort of challenge from your environment and there may be an inner war of the two distinct identities you have cultivated over the years (as humans are innately dual on many levels), but it needn't be a "war" as much as a compromise.

As you allow both Spirit & ego to co-exist, assigning them both tasks best suited to their skills (and nature), you will discover your authentic Self. Sometimes we don't allow the authenticity that would enable us to create fulfilling lives. Be authentic - by any means necessary. You can and will survive all the humiliations and defeats and ultimately emerge stronger! Children are the manifestation of a certain conflict (men/women) being handled creatively (coming together in harmony). Stress and strife are just as necessary as peace and tranquility. Accept all of it as part of living on the earth plane. No matter how spiritually committed or selflessly loving we attempt to become, our natures don't die. Practice honoring your true nature.

Do not shy away from your intuition just because you want to avoid conflict. Follow your feeling all the way and then consciously decide how to proceed. If you back off, chastising your Self for some natural impulse (to have things a certain way), you stop any possibility for peaceful resolution within. You usually only get one opportunity to respond to life's challenges (the first time) with any integrity. Any chance for resolution after your initial reaction, disintegrates as time goes on. Honor the vital force within (your nature) and it won't destroy you. Dishonor it and it will eat you alive.

You can have peace, by your own definition. Sometimes you have to lose something precious to you (sometimes it is a part of ourselves that must go) in order to redefine your true values. When you go through that kind of loss, it can make you question all your beliefs and any faith in your Self to make decisions for your Self. That's okay - that is part of it. All that you need, desire and deserve is ALWAYS PROVIDED!! whether you can see it at the time or not.

Remember, you get back from life what you put in to life - so have you been giving half-way or full-out!!? It is said that those who are not generous when times are lean, will not likely be generous even when things improve. You must keep the flow going - give and you will receive. What are you putting out in the Universe? This is the primary use for Leo energy in all of us, it is the part of us that attracts people and circumstances to us. Whatever you are putting out - is what you will attract in to your life. It may have been really difficult lately and you may be feeling like you have paid double for your transgressions, but a new cycle is beginning and you always have a choice as to how you spend your time and energy from now on. Generosity is a key element to living a rich, authentic and fulfilling life! Be generous with WHO YOU ARE - not necessarily what you "have". When you go forward, openly and honestly, you give others permission to do the same and authenticity and choice start to dominate or lead, more than fear and settling. PRACTICE BEING THE *NEW* YOU!

~ *Summer* Retrogrades ~ 2010 ~

We are extended some grace this summer (with all these Retrogrades) to work behind the scenes, do not squander this time on people or circumstances which no longer "fit" the vision you hold for your life. If you allow yourself to get caught up in the storm (of now), you will find when things move forward that you are not in a position to take full advantage of the opportunities coming this fall. This summer is about completion and closure on all old projects and past inclinations. You are moving rapidly toward the "new you" and you can no longer "wing it" (the old way) because you are in completely new territory, where new rules apply.

PREPARE ~ PRACTICE ~ PLAN

At this moment, there are 3 planets going forward Saturn (foundation) / Mars (desire) / Mercury (communication) who are helping you define what you want to manifest and bring in, while 5 are Retrograde helping you do major "behind-the-scenes" work.

Take advantage of this time to:
Re-View ~ your life (from a Higher vantage point)
Re-Assess ~ your plan (what needs tweaking?)
Re-Consider ~ your options (you have more than you think)
Re-Evaluate ~ your philosophies, beliefs and what you hold to be true (in the present moment)
Re-Connect ~ with your intuition (open the channels)
Re-Form ~ your being (from the inside out)
Re-Write ~ your personal story (of the upcoming 12 yrs)
Re-New ~ your sense of Self (at this Higher level of consciousness)

Use this time to re-search your life for any major cracks in your foundation - any instability - any blockages - any festering wounds - any excess baggage - now is your opportunity to RELEASE IT ALL ... PERMANENTLY!!

Eclipses ~ Rhythm, Patterns & Cycles ~ Oh My!

2010-07-13T01:50:00.005-04:00

~ Eclipses: 2009-2011 ~

Rhythm, Patterns & Cycles ~ Oh My!

We have Eclipses every year so there is ALWAYS energy for change available. The Signs that these Eclipses fall in express the theme, energy and lesson(s) of that *change*. I did a little tracking and found that like 2009 and 2011, there are other years which bring 6 Eclipses, rather than the usual 4 (and sometimes 5). And on very rare occasions, years which bring 7 Eclipses in one calendar year. It happens, apparently, at least once in a decade. Because Eclipses represent pattern-breaking and permanent change, endings and new beginnings, you can see that these years always accompany intense shifts affecting individuals, as well as the Collective.

In all these years, the *intense* shifts come on the following *3* axes consistently:
Gemini/Sagittarius
Cancer/Capricorn
Leo/Aquarius

These energies and lessons lead us to conceive a new Truth/Story for ourselves and our world (Gemini/Sag); create, contain, nurture, protect and be responsible for it in 3-D (Cancer/Capricorn); and be authentic, lead by example and share our individual and collective brilliance with the global family ~ which includes ALL LIFE (Leo/Aquarius) on this planet. There are *overlap* years (with the Signs), but always, the entire set of Cancer/Capricorn is at the *Center*. Do any of the following years stand out to you, either personally or historically?

Year/Number of Eclipses

*Chart notes only the years which have 6 or more Eclipses within one calendar year.

Now, also reflecting on the above patterns, I notice that we've had quite a stretch of so-called *peace* with the big Eclipse years falling each decade. But notice when we get the big Eclipse cycles back-to-back in a 4 year period. That clearly "ups-the-ante" for what and how we co-create with these energies and shifts (of both reality and consciousness). And we're just talking the last century (100 years). But let's bring it back to human size, *NOW* ~ 2009-2011 ~ we are in the most intense period we have experienced since 1944-1946. What can we learn from that period (1944-1946) regarding our *fundamentals* (Cancer/Capricorn)? how we perceive (Gemini) and conceive (Sag) our Truth/Story? and how we can better embody, express & share (Leo) that Truth in ways which improve, inspire and uplift all life (Aquarius)?

*NOTE* ~ it's interesting to notice that we got such an influx of energy during the 1900's and during the 2000's, we experience only half of that same influx. Also worth noting, for almost the entire 200 years, the Eclipses fall in the above Signs. It is not until 2096 do things move along and activate Taurus/Scorpio for the first time. So I am sure, over centuries of time, we eventually make our way throughout the entire zodiac.

With astrology, planets, cycles etc. we do not predict actual events but notice the patterns, the repetition, the choices and the reverberating consequences of those choices during times of intense transition on Earth or within ourselves or society. There are some amazing scientists, as well as astrologers, deeply focused on human and Earthly evolution, digging, searching for the patterns so that we can learn from our past choices. I won't even call them mistakes, but choices, which led in this direction or that and the subsequent results. Be the *Research Scientist* in your own life and dig for the patterns. It will help you make the choices and decisions that need to be made at this time (2010).

During this particular period in history (2009-2011), we have a unique opportunity to co-create with extremely potent energy, the potency further increased by Pluto (purification/transformation) and the North Node (current life path) in Capricorn. This means, if we take responsibility (Capricorn) for what we create (Cancer) then we can live on a stable, functioning *Right Path* (Capricorn North Node) and release the past karma, hunger, neediness and dependency (Cancer South Node) of the old Path. We can create a better structure (Capricorn) that encourages all to be responsible for their actions and contributions to the world, while releasing the past consciousness of sucking Mother dry (Cancer), believing She can continue to produce & provide nourishment with no down-time to replenish. Let's take our cue from Mother, and replenish ourselves on a regular basis, monthly, annually, seasonally and in to the decades and centuries of time as well. We can set intentions for the larger cycles and we can actively co-create with the days, months and years that we have during each lifetime.

Cancer/Capricorn energy illuminates the lesson that: whatever is going on, on the inside, reflects in the outer structure. The health and vitality of the inside, determines the strength and integrity of the protective outside. Both are needed, both are useful and both are inter-dependent. Capricorn is responsible for the family it creates with Cancer. Cancer is responsible for containing and nourishing the life-force energy of Capricorn's work so the structure is sound from the inside-out. They are the *ultimate* Divine Mother/Father archetypes or principles. It is time to redefine our terms where business and family are both concerned. It is time to *HEAL* that primal and eternal connection to the Sacred Mother and the Sacred Father. It is time to remember that *BOTH* are necessary for emotional and material security. It is time to realize that we do not have to choose one, to the exclusion of the other, but can redefine *BALANCE* and shift co-dependence to inter-dependence and be more productive and happy. It's the beautiful quality and rightful purpose of being conscious, thinking Beings. Humans have a certain awareness that enables us to navigate our world, just as other lifeforms do. It's our responsibility to maintain and strengthen the connection on a consistent basis.

If all that sounds too "big" for you to focus on, then pull within. Use this energy to *HEAL* YOUR connection to your biological or adopted Mothers and Fathers. That will vibrate out to the ethers and affect the globe automatically. If we cannot define healthy, responsible, loving parents, then we cannot be them either (whether birthing human families or the creations of your heart). It's a cycle, one which can be worked with over and over again until the patterns you want broken can officially break and the patterns you want anchored can actually take root. But either way, you're still back to your own "conceptions/perceptions" (Gemini/Sag) ~ you're own ability to be responsible for what you create in the world (Cancer/Capricorn) and how much love and courage, rather than ego and self-righteousness (Leo/Aquarius), you imbue your thoughts, words and deeds with as you move through your own personal life. You ARE the "gift" ~ you ARE the "contribution" ~ manage YOU! and you will be intuitively led to your Truth & Purpose (Internally), as well as the love and recognition that goes with living integrity and being whole (Externally). Every time I get overwhelmed (or talk to those with the same feelings), I breathe and pull back in to my own body and ask to be guided by my gut feelings (Cancer) as to the right and tangible (Capricorn) actions I can take ~ in the *Present* Moment. One step at a time. Knowing that each step will lead me to the ultimate goal, if I stay connected to my feelings and intuition (Cancer) and if I stay focused and committed (Capricorn).

Remember that Eclipses ultimately have to do with the interaction between our Earthly reality, the Sun which brings Source Energy and facilitates life, and the Moon which controls the tides of our life-giving waters. Ultimately, life on Earth is determined by Light (Sun) and Water (Moon). Sun/Moon/Earth makes this very personal for humans (Individual), but notice the decades of influence on society (Social) and centuries of influence on the planet (Collective). It's been about 60 years (think: Second Saturn Return) since we've had an opportunity like this one to drastically change our personal and collective reality. With Eclipses, we get a Galactic Reset Button ~ there is an "interruption of flow" ~ flow of Light ~ flow of Electro/Magnetic energy between our hearts and our Mother Earth. This is an opportunity to "break to re-align" ~ between micro and macro worlds, internal and external realms of life.

Use this time and energy to pull back, as the Retrogrades completely support you in your review process this Summer & Fall. Set your intentions for Home & Work / Emotional & Material Security / Balanced Feminine & Masculine (within and without) / Inner & Outer Harmony ~ for your Self, your Community, your Planet, your Universe. Renew your definitions and then renew your commitment to living a happy, healthy, loving, balanced, fulfilling life *NOW* ~ THIS Lifetime! Change is endless and ongoing, don't fight it or try to block or delay it, work with it consciously. When you have this kind of unprecedented support for radically changing how you do Family & Work, why not at least set the intention? This is what is best supported at this time, so if you're ready to change, it can and will happen during this 2-4 year period. Look for the dust to settle over 6-months to 3-years on these specific changes, and results of your choices to trickle in over the next 6-months / 1-year / 3-6-9-years.

Relevant Reflection:
Here are *3* articles from Summer 2009 that get more in to specifics and provide even more background on the energies we are currently experiencing. And hindsight becomes infinitely valuable when reading them from the perspective of one year later ... with one year to go. The *half-way* mark is crucial to determining how and where you will end up. IN-Joy!!

June/July 2009 ~ Sacred Seasons of Change
This article is a great reminder about the general *theme* of Summer Solstice plus the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses. Last year there was different planetary support and now you have hindsight to gauge your Path for the entire year. Now during the Summer of 2010 we have Chiron, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus all in new territory moving things along with intensity and precision.

2009 Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses
This article gives the dates of the LAST Eclipse series from early 1990's and 2000's and will help with reflecting on the actual cycle and the energy and issues it brings to the surface.

2009 Eclipses: 'Tis the Season of *LIGHT*
This article covers more on the Eclipse Cycles, as well as the planetary support of last summer. This will help you see the progress you've made over the last year, as well as what choices/consequences you've faced. Hopefully, the reflection will help you work with this Summer's energy so you can set the tone for one more year of this particular (personal) work.

w. Shanta Gabriel
of TheGabrielMessages.com

*CELEBRATE* the LIGHT!
Sacred Marriage of ...

Mother Earth & Father Sky
We are the "Spirit Children"

of this Sacred Union!
The Longest Day: (Excerpt from Molly Hall of Astrology.About.com) "The bright glowing orb we call The Sun is celebrated in many traditions at the Summer Solstice. There are fire dances, bonfires, and in the olden days, the ancients rolled fire wheels down the hills. There's also a long tradition of ritual bathing, dipping in the cleansing waters. Fire and Water are celebrated at the Summer Solstice, along with the Earth as Mother Goddess, at her most abundant. It's a celebration of the Earth, the Feminine and the living natural world."

3rd Annual ~ *Summer* Solstice Celebration

With courage you will dare to take risks,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.
~ Keshavan Nair, Author & Speaker ~

~ Integration ~ Culmination ~

We have extended far and reached the Maximum Light as of *Summer* Solstice ~ this is the *Culmination* of the seeds planted at *Winter* Solstice and brings the Mid-Point of the Annual Solar Cycle ~ Balance & Integration. What intentions did you set? How are they going? What has manifested? What has not? December 2009 was a very powerful time of major reviews, endings and creating a space for what is coming in to perspective and/or manifestation *NOW*. You are completely supported for healing old wounds and freeing up space & energy within your Being to do great things. And like all cycles, one is preparing you to the next. 2010 is a response to 2009 and is simultaneously preparing your for 2011 (and beyond).

This *Sacred* Season is About ...

Assessing & Integrating the Past 6 Months
Initiating Half-Way Mark of the Year
Honoring & Giving Gratitude for the Light
Acknowledging a Turning Point
Using the Sacred Season to Process & Digest
Review Your Choices & Decisions
Tend to Sacred Space & Inner Nourishment (Mental, Physical & Spiritual)
Anchor Sacred Work & Do Behind-the-Scenes Integration
Renewing Your Commitment
Owning Your Power & Inner Authority
Being More Consistently Responsible & Self-Sufficient
Balancing Your Inner Feelings w. Your Outer Actions

One potent addition to the Equinoxes and Solstices is Pluto's 16-year journey through Capricorn, which will directly engage the Sun at each and every turn of the Wheel. There are several other activations and on-going themes, but Pluto's *Purification* and *Distillation* process is the longest and most transformative. A new beginning ~ fresh start ~ clean slate is available through the Jupiter/Uranus in Aries Activation ... and who better to assist with clearing the debris and releasing the non-essential to make *room* for your 'new beginning' ~ than Pluto, Lord of Purification & Transformation. Your essential nature (Sun) and the purest, deepest part of you (Pluto) connect in a rhythm every year, four times a year for 16 years (2008-2024). As it reshapes you from the inside out, so too will the collective shapeshift.

The 4 *ANNUAL* Activations ~ 2008-2024:
~ Initiation ~ Winter Solstice / Capricorn
~ First Test ~ Spring Equinox / Aries
~ Integration ~ Summer Solstice / Cancer
~ Final Test ~ Fall Equinox / Libra

Some astrologers consider Conjunctions, Oppositions and Squares as "hard" and "negative", however, I do not ever subscribe to "blanket rules or assessments" when seasons and human beings are in the mix ~ *ANYTHING* IS POSSIBLE! These connections, which the planets make to each other, facilitate movement and necessary change. If you are ready, open and receptive, they ASSIST you in moving to the next level, creating tangible results and measurable progress. If you are not ready, narrow-minded and/or resistant to change, then yes, it is going to be more challenging ... but you'll be in new territory nonetheless.

The *Initiation* is *Winter* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto get together (conjunction) in Capricorn, increasing each other's power to purify you and your intentions for the coming new year. They advise, "First, you must rest, replenish, mature and gather strength (power)." *Spring* and *Fall* Equinox, when Sun/Pluto have to consciously work out their differences (square), and you are moved possibly out of your comfort zone, but in to new territory. *Summer* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto have to balance and integrate (opposition) all that you've initiated at Spring-time; it's a time of blossoming and expanding and you are moved to accommodate all that you've created in new, innovative ways.

You are *READY*!! Don't look back, practice presence & mindfulness and apply new strategies for living. I hope you'll join us for this celebration.

Cancer 2010 ~ Assimilate the New & Eliminate the Old

2010-06-19T08:29:00.007-04:00

~ CANCER 2010 ~

Assimilate the New & Eliminate the Old
Which May Mean ...

Sideways, Backwards ... THEN Forward!

It was courage, faith, endurance
and a dogged determination
to surmount all obstacles
which built this bridge.

*Cancer* time, this year (2010) and next (2011), will bring us face-to-face with some major choices and decisions (Eclipses) which will likely require some form of *Assimilation* and *Elimination*. Cancer's gift is *Processing* all that passes through your *system*, taking in the nutrient (that makes the system work) and any excess or toxins that cannot be "assimilated" must be "eliminated". If you do not eliminate them, then blockages (and some form of dis-ease or discomfort) will occur. Quality nourishment (or what you take in to your *system*) is vital and *if* you have held on to anything that has not been put to proper use, then you may be particularly toxic (within or without), and you will have to Cleanse and Heal FIRST, before your can rebuild or fortify your structure (Capricorn).

Digestion, Assimilation & Elimination are truly Cancer's domain and one or all may require periodic "time outs" to process all that has come through your *system* over the last 6-months -to- 1-year (Sun/Moon) ~and~ 10-years ~ 20-years (Eclipses and because of these Eclipses, 2009-2011 Summers bring much more clearing than the usual annual process). Keep in mind that, on one or many levels, you have released the past, you've cleared space and created new *flow* that must also be properly directed ~ this is a 2-way process (in/out). Your Higher Self does this naturally, but ego/personality has preferences and can cause problems along the way. Your Soul has been very busy working on your behalf, positioning you for greatness, stripping the weakness and letting you know the areas of your life which have been in a famine (for however long, for whatever reason). *Cancer* time beckons, "come out of the storm (of life), dry off by a warm fire (your heart), replenish your Self with light-filled food and quality rest!" You are no good to your team, in fact you are a danger and liability to your team, if you are not centered, balanced, properly fortified and fully rested. When you ARE, then you can be alert and focused, strong and productive.

In more practical terms, *Cancer* is the time to restore your energy, replenish your physical and spiritual nutrients, stabilize your foundation, clear your physical body and personal space of the past, any debris and clutter and assess your inner and outer productivity with special attention to strengthening and fortifying yourself so you can CREATE come the next cycle (Leo time). If you work the *Cancer* energy to its fullest potential, you would stabilize within, clearing the channel to open the floodgates (allow flow), access your own deep well/reservoir of energy and resources (use what you've got), and ignite the fire of creativity (be heart-centered and passionate about what you are doing) so you can fulfill your potential and, ultimately, be of *Service* to your Self, your family, your community and the planet.

*Cancer*, being ruled by the Moon, is serious about letting you know that the natural cycles work best when you HONOR THEM, rather than resist! When you fight Nature (or any natural process), you will receive your due lesson unless or until you surrender and realize that (in general) "mom and dad" (Cancer/Capricorn) are right more than they are wrong. You have to give the deep emotions (which are being stirred at this time) a structure and purpose or you'll drown in them. With every penetrating realization, allow it to pass through your consciousness with the last thought being of the Light ... then, get the lesson and the blessing! from whatever memory, experience, choice, decision, and of course, feeling that comes up at this time ... and CLAIM your Truth, Infinite Light and the Highest possible outcome.

Keep in mind that whatever you're feeling can be useful. Trust that *feelings* are one of the major ways of communicating within, your moods are inner *messengers* bringing information in to your conscious mind. Often, we are bombarded by outer messages, very few of which are true or worthy, but simply there to DISTRACT you and/or DISCONNECT you from Source altogether. Your heart - your gut - your core - DEEP WITHIN your being, buried under layers and years of trying to work from the outside-IN ... is your *Inner Compass* just waiting for you to excavate and reconnect with it so it can serve Its true purpose of guiding you on your Path. Working from the outside-IN is not how it works, you HAVE to work from the inside-OUT. Yes, it is a glorious day for those of us who feel "backwards" in the 3-D world (I know I am not alone ;-)) I get the distinct impression we were just 'before our time' and NOW the Universe is READY! We must return to heart-centered, empathic, intuitive, receptive, Divine Feminine way of LIVING ... which is to create ~ contain ~ nurture ~ and protect ... and we're back to *Cancer* energy and lessons.

Remember, 'how you start is how you finish' and *Cancer* Initiates this quarter of the year ~ *Summer* Solstice -to- *Fall* Equinox ~ for there is deep value (and potency) in this (extended) moment in time. Cancer/Leo/Virgo prepares us for upcoming Libra/Scorpio/Sagittarius which will complete the annual cycle. Despite 3-D obligations, clocks, calendars, families, bosses etc all competing for your time and attention, I urge you to put on your 'invisibility cloak' and MAKE TIME for several periodic TIME OUTS (or one long one). Take some time to soak in the Light (before it recedes), bask, and while you're doing that, reflect on all that you've created with your energy and efforts over the course of the last 6-months -to- 1-year.

How well did your efforts PRODUCE?
How well did your investments (of all resources: time, energy & money) PROVIDE?
What is the QUALITY of your return thus far?
Are there areas of your life BLOSSOMING with overflow, bounty and beauty (and multiplying like crazy)?
Are there still other areas of your life WILTING, dying on the vine, not being nourished properly or receiving enough Light?
What do you WANT to do?
What does your HEART say to do?
What 'FEELS' right at the moment?
What should you NOT attempt to continue to grow (in your life)?
What should you pay some special attention to because you KNOW it will bear fruit if you would just give it some quality, direct and focused energy and attention?

This time, like all times,
is a very good one
if we but know what to do with it.

I'd also like to remind you that 2009-2011 also brings in Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses around the Solstice times, making it even more imperative that you make any decisions regarding 'course correction' at this time. With the Summer Retrogrades, you will have a unique opportunity (in this potent year of change) to regroup this *Cancer* season. *Summer* Solstice and the Sun moving in to Cancer *Initiates* the second half of the year every year and activates a deeply transformative *Integration* process with Pluto in Capricorn. Use this time, at least initially, to gather courage, cultivate integrity, tweak your plan and prepare for the delicious (and fun) creativity you will have access to next month.

Jupiter & Uranus in Aries ~ 2010

2010-06-16T02:09:00.008-04:00

Jupiter & Uranus in Aries ~ 2010
Truth & Liberation Born Anew

From the Weekly Forecast ~
Jupiter (truth) ~conjunct~ Uranus (liberation):
These two energies coming together tends to bring expansion (Jupiter) and radical change (Uranus) on social and collective levels, which naturally affects us as individuals too. Their combined power generally expands your awareness so that the parameters you have been working within (personally or professionally) suddenly feel confining and you crave immediate change. Don’t be too hasty and at the same time, recognize that *if* you are truly ready to break old patterns and routines which have grown stale, then this energy will assist you on multiple levels. Keep your personal freedom in mind, but do not shirk your responsibilities in the process or you could find your Self in worse conditions than those that you are trying to escape. With your expanded awareness, you may branch out beyond your personal boundaries and dive in to the social realms to make a bigger contribution, perhaps fighting for the rights and freedoms of others. You can also tune in and find yourself having breakthroughs that have thus far eluded you ~ be ready! No matter how you slice it, these two getting together is initiating a *new* Truth ~ a *new* Story ~ and bringing you in contact with the possibility of a *new* Path! Pay attention and choose wisely.

Streams of Consciousness ~ Word Association ~
Now, we add to the mix, Pisces/Aries ~ Ending/New Beginning ~ Womb-to-Birth ~ Completion/Initiation ~ from one, watery, (possibly) dark, completely-provided for ... state of Being ... to a very different, fiery, bright, completely new you're-on-your-own ... state of Being. Sensitivity ~ Instincts ~ both valuable and both subject to imbalances. As Jupiter & Uranus move from Pisces to Aries, so too, directly across the sky, Saturn moves from Virgo to Libra and contributes to the current activation. Jupiter (Truth), Saturn (Purpose) and Uranus (Freedom) ... Social Justice ~ Social Structure ~ Collective Liberation ~ by being responsible ~ able to respond ~ committed ~ and awake, we can move in to this new territory confident that all we need, desire and deserve is and always will be provided. If you are co-creating with these energies, and especially if you have any Aries/Libra and/or Cancer/Capricorn in your chart, then the next 3 years are vital to anchoring much larger cycles that will fortify, nurture and protect you going forward. The Cycles you should tune in to are 1-year; 2-year and 7-year and consider that all three overlap for the first 3 ~ Trinity energy is very useful to tune in to when initiating ANYTHING.

PS ~ After-Thoughts ~
These energies and cycles are also part of an even larger activation with the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses, Nodes, amplified by Pluto. I have several articles on these individual activations. Bear with me while I go through them and update them for this Summer of 2010 and perhaps add an article that synthesizes it all (check back SOON). In the meantime, ALL of this will be discussed on the upcoming *FREE* Tele-Class.

Uranus in ARIES ~ 2010-2018

Uranus is entering Aries for the first time since 1926-1934. It will Retrograde back through the end of Pisces to complete not only its 7-year Cycle through Pisces (2003-2010) but also Uranus' 84-year Cycle through the entire zodiac. Uranus' Cycle is approximately 84 years to make it thru all 12 Signs, spending approximately 7 years in each sign. It also has 4 major activations during that cycle, which happen every 21-years, when we are all tested on the Uranus material. It is, after all, known as The Great Awakener!

This next year (2010-2011) will be a *PROCESS* of Endings & New Beginnings on Personal, Social and Collective levels. Basically, this first Retrograde of the *new* cycle is about *Completion* of the Pisces plus the whole 84-year Cycle. During each Retrograde period every year, we will all get a chance to go within and PROCESS all that this energy is stirring up, loosening our grip on old, worn-out patterns and awakening each of us to the innate urge to be truly free.

During this very first step in to Aries, I think it is extremely noteworthy that Uranus will spend May 27 - Aug 13, 2010 at *ZERO* Degrees Aries ~ Zero Point of Infinite Possibilities!

We will dive in to only the *Introduction* of this energy and cycle this June, however, we will get together at critical points in the future to gather inspiration and clarity. This is a major opportunity to *REVIEW & RELEASE* old patterns which are blocking ... and *INITIATE* new patterns of true freedom, unity and the inevitable *new* Earth.

Relevant Reflection ~

It is useful to review Uranus' move through Pisces because Aries ~ was then (1926-1934) and is now (2010-2018) ~ a *RESPONSE* to the previous cycle. The old saying, "those who do not know their history, are doomed to repeat it" comes to mind. If you can see any Personal, Social or Collective *patterns* that you think could benefit from a clean slate / re-birth, then tune in and contribute your energies in that direction.

Uranus in Pisces last happened during the 'Roaring 20s', when people were simultaneously restricted by material limitation, yet liberated through a truly unique creative expression (jazz exploded), women were emancipated (on one level, by the 'equal pay legislation'), rebellion (against prohibition), many technologies became commonplace (primarily cars, but TV, radio etc), the Harlem Renaissance and many more radical shifts in our expanding Global Community let us know a re-structuring was inevitable and most necessary. And here we are again, with similar issues on the table, but on a grander scale.

Jupiter will Retrograde back and forth through Pisces and Aries before it moves forward permanently. This audio covers a lot of basic information. If you would like the entire Audio + Activations, Email Kelly.

(Excerpt from Jupiter in PISCES Audio ~ 14-min)

The thing about democracy, beloveds,
is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet.
It requires a certain relish for confusion.

Jupiter in ARIES ~ 2010-2011

Jupiter in *ARIES* initiates a brand *NEW* 12-year Cycle! You can/will improve your *Independence* and initiate a NEW Truth and a NEW Story. If 12 years is too much to wrap your brain around, I would encourage you to think in terms of 3-year *increments*. The Trinity energy is very powerful and when working with Jupiter, you are being exposed to an expanded awareness of a *larger* Truth of which you are an integral part. It is vital to work with this entity when you are consciously co-creating the Truth & Story of your own life.

Jupiter spends about a year in every Sign, taking approximately 12 years to make it through the zodiac. We are *Initiating* this Cycle *TOGETHER*. There are Personal, Social and Collective Planets ~ Jupiter is a Social Planet. This means that you too have a Personal 12-year Cycle based on the Sign Jupiter was in when you were born. However, Socially and Collectively, the 12-year Cycle is being RE-Set at this time ~ 2010-2011. It is a 1-3 year process that you can tune in to and change your Path considerably.

Jupiter Retrogrades every year and this period will help you focus and reevaluate what in your life needs to increase and what in your life needs to decrease. We will get an initial introduction to this energy, then Jupiter will Retrograde and give us a chance to truly digest and process this new energy and when it goes forward, we will anchor it for the next 12 years.

Gemini 2010 ~ Cultivating Your Authentic Voice

2010-05-29T01:57:00.008-04:00

The truth is that our finest moments

are most likely to occur when we are feeling

deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.

For it is only in such moments,

propelled by our discomfort,

that we are likely to step out of our ruts

and start searching for ...

different ways or truer answers.

Searching for "different ways" (Gemini) or "truer answers" (Sagittarius) ... May I remind you that as a "human" you are dual by nature (Gemini) ... and so much MORE! (Sagittarius) Add "human" to "being" and now you are *multi-dimensional*. I find it far more useful these days to look at the energies AND their polar opposites to get a more balanced understanding of what I am experiencing. And beyond that, I notice, I've been reminding people almost constantly that "life has become an 'AND' ... not an either/or". You have to multi-task to get ANYTHING accomplished and/or completed these days. Why is that? Because, you are SIMULTANEOUSLY: dying and being born anew; leaving the past behind and moving toward an unknown future; releasing and acquiring on a multitude of levels. You, my multi-dimensional friend, have many layers to your being which are being activated and/or shifted in dramatic and permanent ways.

Gemini time is the *approach* of the 6-month mark of the year and Summer Solstice, just as its polar opposite, Sag, is the *approach* of the culmination of the year at Winter Solstice. At this stage, we are still gathering information that will (hopefully) translate into Sag's wisdom come the completion of this annual cycle. Every year around Gemini time, several planets retrograde (appear to pull back, slow down or reverse altogether) indicating it is time to 'gather information' to make better decisions upon forward movement in a month or two. At this time, multiple aspects of our individual and collective lives require that we 'check-in' and 'assess' where we are, how far we've come and just how much further we have to go. Review the last 6 months so you can make any necessary adjustments for the upcoming 6 months, in the hopes of getting something worthwhile accomplished by year's end. At the half-way mark of any cycle you are given a choice ~ an opportunity to choose differently based on the experiences and information you've gathered thus far. So, how is 2010 shaping up for you? (Can you believe it is half over already?) Are you moving in the direction you want to be moving in? *NOTE* Summer and Winter Solstices are potent times of the year every year, they fall in Cancer / Capricorn every year, however, 2009-2011 also brings the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses. Your frame of reference for this Cycle will be 1988-1992 and 1998-2002. It is highly useful to work the Gemini/Sag Lunar and Solar energies each year, even more vital at this time.

Gemini energy brings to mind: change, duality, choice(s) to make, fork in the road or crossroads, and of course, transition. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which moves along side the Sun in its travels through the sky so it is easiest to catch a glimpse of Mercury during dusk and dawn, when the Sun's light is coming or going. These are the two times a day also often recommended for meditation as the veils are thinner and COMMUNICATION is easier between the visible and invisible realms. Additionally, dusk and dawn also represent that potent in-between stage that transition represents. We stand at this zero-point of possibilities.

Transition originally meant "going across or over" ... as in changing from one state of form or being to another. What is powerful about this is not in the 'being here or there', but in being PRESENT wherever you are. If you are consciously participating in life, then this is a potent time for you. However, if you are overwhelmed and your systems are on overload, you are going to short-circuit and most likely have to go down, before you can go back up and function effectively.

The main dangers in this life

are the people who want to chang

everything ... or nothing.

Gemini 2010 ~ Change Is Good

2010-05-29T01:49:00.004-04:00

~ GEMINI ~ 2010 ~

Assimilating Radical Shifts Within & Without

Finish each day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities
no doubt crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely
and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered
with your old nonsense.

This month you will have to take many deep breaths to maintain your equilibrium. The pressure is intense and the speed of which information is coming at you, is continuing to increase. Always keep in the back of your mind, if you cannot control it, release it to the Universe ... and if you CAN control it, then this (whatever is activating your "control" or "survival" buttons) is just a reminder to inhale back your own authority and your personal power to choose ... your power to change your mind and thus, your circumstances. In the instant you commit to your choice, change can occur. Because it is Gemini time, I am inclined to think most of us have some major decisions to make which are going to require us to choose between two (or more) distinctly different paths. These paths are going in such new and different directions, that you can no longer 'straddle the fence' or 'serve two masters' ... you will HAVE to choose.

Sagittarius (wisdom) helps Gemini (intelligence) make meaning out of the information coming through at this time. Right now, all SIX of your senses are being bombarded with information. How are your "filtering" systems working these days? We need to activate our "human spam box" where all non-relevant info should go automatically. Your main task at this time is sorting through all this information. You will know the Truth when you come across it because it will speak to you on a soul level and you will be compelled to act on that new knowledge.

These are not "small" or "easy" aspects of life to undergo such a major transition. HONOR THAT FACT by taking the time to review how you have expressed yourself up to now ... and reflect on how you want to express your Self going forward.

Who have you led your Self (and others) to believe you were (over the last 6-12 yrs)?
Who are you today?
What parts of you are solid and structurally sound?
Which parts of you are completely worn out and need to be released or recycled?

Use the current Full Moon in Sagittarius to release anything that is no longer part of your personal Story and all that is no longer "true" for you and then, plant your seeds at the New Moon in Gemini ~ take a deep breath and express your Self in a whole new way. The story of your life is not done yet. You can still choose to "edit" and change the next chapter any way your soul leads you to. Open your mind and heart this month and connect with your Authentic Voice in order to express your deepest Truth. Pay close attention, activate your filters for this particular flow of information. Some will be Divine Truth, some will be petty distraction, delaying you on your Path. It is a NEW day, and like it or not, you will have to make some (seemingly) daunting choices that will determine your course (path) over the upcoming 6-12 months and 6-12 years. Backwards is not an option, and even if it were, all that used to be back there is gone / done / over / completed anyway. So you can CHOOSE - or you can get dragged - but either way, you're going (to the next level). Actually you're already there but some people are holding on to the door as it closes on their fingertips.

It really depends on what you want to create and what you want to be a part of for the remainder of this lifetime. If you are comfortable with the "light and airy" aspects of this Gemini season, then enjoy them because this is the best time of year for creative exchange of ideas; use social situations to learn (and teach) and share information, you have more options than you think. INVITE COLLABORATION AND UNITY ~ look for circumstances that your individual personality and skill set is *valued*.

On the other hand, if you have some heavy duty choices to make at this time, solitude is probably better. Tuning in around the Full and New Moons, dusk and dawn, the turn of each Sacred Season, when the channels of communication are wide open, invites the Invisible Assistance. Ask the questions, be still and the answers will come ... then you must be prepared to accept a NEW Truth.

Enlightenment must come
~ little by little ... otherwise
it would overwhelm!

Chiron Enters *PISCES* ~ 2010-2018

CHIRON: The Wounded Healer

Without darkness

Nothing comes to birth,

As without light

Nothing flowers.

Chiron, the Wounded Healer energy is the wound we come in to heal, individually (your personal chart) and collectively (up in the sky) we move through each Sign in the zodiac during the course of a 50-year Cycle. The *A-Ha* Moment that many experience by/around the age of 50. Chiron's mythology is very interesting, as he was known for consciously choosing death, and in this case, his journey through Aquarius suggests that community and individuals' special gifts / healing abilities have all been undergoing a major healing and transformation (2005-2010). Allowing the ego-based, separatist thinking to die so that a rebirth of communal living and honoring of all living things can re-emerge. This is micro-to-macro, yes on a collective level we are definitely going through this, but on an individual level, can you make the connection to:

If/How you have ...

Separated from your Self and other human beings?

Forgotten what is special about you?

What it feels like to be part of a group energy?

Chiron has been working through many of these Aquarius/Leo issues for the last couple of years and it turns out that almost all of that 5+ years, Chiron would Retrograde during Gemini time and go Direct during Scorpio time. This suggests to me that a review of our thoughts, ideas and expression (Gemini) of community and alternative ways of living (Aquarius) were concerned. And after that review, and subsequent healing within, emerges during Scorpio time ready to plant seeds at such a potent time for creating just such a global community which supports the vital life force of ALL living beings. Scorpio energy assists in activating what needs to be purified, healed and RELEASED (wounds must be cleaned before they can heal and disappear), plunging us in to the Underworld, to be stripped of all ego machinations, humbling us - and hopefully healing us individually and collectively - to come back up to the surface clean, pure and ready to plant healthy new seeds that will nourish humanity for a long time to come.

It is still on the above schedule as it moves in to *PISCES*. And I remind you that it will Retrograde back and forth through the END of Aquarius and the BEGINNING of Pisces, extending a natural *GRACE* period of adjustment to the new energetic vibration. During the 5+ year period in Aquarius, for the collective, we realized or remembered that *either/or* serves no one, all Spirit-all the time ~ and you are no longer grounded ... all reality-all the time ~ and you are no longer free. The during the 8+ year period in Pisces. We must practice Higher Consciousness in our daily (Pisces), mundane, 3-D world (Virgo), making it practical and useful for the entire community. Use tools properly (3-D/Saturn), access Spirit (Consciousness/Uranus) regularly and honor all living beings.

As it moves through Pisces during 2010-2018, your frame of reference will be 1960-1968. A greater sensitivity is available now, a completion of a 50-year Cycle is upon us and we must navigate carefully in preparation for *Initiation* in to Aries next. This *sensitivity* is a mixed blessing. On one hand, you can be overwhelmed by the information you are "sensing" from a multitude of sources and if your Virgo-Filter is not clean and engaged to *sort and sift* what is relevant and useful information, you could drown in confusion. On the other hand, if you practice daily (Virgo) feeling ONE with the Universal energy and flow (Pisces), then you could access a very deep reservoir of knowledge and understanding.

It is time to work with your intuitive capacity and hone it so that it can serve you during this Earthly transition. And remember, Chiron activates the WOUND so it can draw your attention to the HEALING. So at first, many will feel open and vulnerable, which can make you feel the need to protect your Self, and in piling on whatever layers of protection you think you need, you LOSE TOUCH with your ability to "sense" things around you. Body - Buildings - Energy Fields - whatever you 'surround' your Self with as 'protection', when excessive or imbalanced, can block necessary, incoming energy and information. Until you find a balance and understanding of WHAT you are sensing, you may struggle to connect to God/Spirit/Oneness/BLISS (that is essential to your nature).

Chiron's Schedule ~
Chiron takes about 51 years to move through all 12 signs, and has an extremely erratic orbit where it spends much more time in a handful of signs (Aries/Taurus and Aquarius/Pisces) and very little (comparatively) in all other signs. This speaks to what I always say about Pluto's transformative energy as it too has an erratic orbit - that transformation (Pluto) and healing (Chiron) "takes as long as it takes" and neither will be boxed in to a formula that we linear-thinking humans can define, control or set our own clock to. Both occur in Divine Time and Order and all we can really do is attempt to co-create with the energies available and allow the process to run its course, making new choices along the way. Also note, that when Chiron moves through the END & BEGINNING of the zodiac, it affects the LARGEST POPULATION for quite a length of time. The current evolution begins with Aquarius (2005) and will be intense for most of us through Taurus (2034).

Chiron orbits between Saturn (our physical reality) and Uranus (Higher Consciousness) which also suggests that you must HEAL the connection (bridge) between these two vital aspects of your being. This is the first step to integrating your human and spirit selves, which is absolutely necessary to expand your consciousness (Neptune), transmute your karmic patterns (Pluto) and reach Higher Consciousness (Uranus). You have to go through Chiron to get to any of that! Wherever Chiron is in your personal chart is the healing you incarnated to do and that which you will automatically teach by your life's example.

Mini Chiron History ~
Chiron has also been associated with Sagittarius because of the centaur connection, but that only speaks further to the integration of the physical (Saturn) and spiritual (Uranus) natures within us. Traditionally, Mercury is said to rule Virgo, however, while I believe there are some definite Mercurial qualities to Virgo, I believe Chiron is the true ruler of Virgo, a more complete expression, because it is the HEALER (total Virgo/High Priestess energy) and is well known for his mastery of herbalism, acupuncture, massage, homeopathy, chiropractic and all alternative healing modalities. Additionally, Chiron was discovered (brought in to our conscious awareness) in 1977 when these modalities all really anchored in the collective consciousness and became more widely accepted and practiced. Still under the explosion of connections of Chiron on the collective, the next year, 1978, The Native American Religious Freedom Act was passed which allowed American Indians, Eskimos and Native Hawaiians to practice their earth-based wisdom and healing practices (Virgo is an earth sign) speaks to the practical application of Spirit in everyday life. These people infused Spirit in to ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE.

... and DEATH which brings me to another example of Chiron in our world, choosing death consciously, of your own free will. In mythology, Chiron lived for centuries and had the full spectrum of experiences (gods and humans) with the exception of death. He had been wounded and he suffered (like we all do) until he asked to be released from the body, a wish that was granted. So essentially, he CHOSE to walk in to the Underworld, fearless and willing to sacrifice his life for the greater good. What within you needs to be sacrificed for your own greater good and ultimate evolution? (His death released Prometheus, the Bringer of Light.) From the darkness, comes Light. From death, comes new life. Struggle is futile, going willingly UNLOCKS the magic!

Taurus 2010 ~ The Garden of Life

2010-04-28T15:40:00.003-04:00

Put simply, state of mind,
not material circumstances,
creates your states of harmony,
assurance and comfort.
Put simplest, with a few adjustments,
you can bloom spiritually
right where you're planted.

Taurus/Scorpio energy brings awareness of your deepest values, renewal of your priorities and access to the power to co-create your world. Taurus time (April/May) and the Taurus New Moon are the annual opportunities to seed the *Garden* of your life ... while Scorpio time (Oct/Nov) and the Scorpio Full Moon bring the annual gifts of power, magic and purification. Working consciously with these energies gives you a chance to truly ground your Highest intentions and bring them in to 'form' to serve the greater good, which will attract blessings beyond your wildest imagination ... *IF* you maintain integrity and DO THE WORK! Earth energy requires getting real ~ getting serious ~ and getting dirty! It is a chance to co-create, contribute and allow Great Spirit to breathe life in to the seeds you plant at this time.

This year, the Scorpio Full Moon (4/28) precedes the Taurus New Moon (5/13) indicating that a clearing and/or release is necessary before planting the seeds of the new. As we clear karmic debris, we create a space where it is clean and clear and ready for the fresh and new to be planted, built or brought in. Taurus/Scorpio energies teach us about the willing sacrifices we make for that which we truly value, as well as the lesson of hard work rewarded. This is the time when I remind people that seeds germinate in the darkness. The Taurus/Scorpio energy perfectly illustrates the relationship between the seeds developing below the Earth's surface, to produce a physical, tangible result (eventually) above the Earth's surface. So realigning your values and priorities within (Taurus) will help you create tangible results with power and magic (Scorpio). In that regard, it is also important to remain disciplined and focused. There is no time for petty distractions or silliness when you want concrete results. Time is of the essence for planting and nurturing what you want to grow in your life. This is time to do the work, get involved and create!

You have some additional assistance this year. Venus (values/priorities), Mercury Retrograde (review of ideas, thoughts, concepts) and the Sun (identity/Source) all make it in to Taurus prior to the Full Moon in Scorpio, which precedes the New Moon in Taurus, facilitating a clarification and clearing. This is an indication that you must do the internal/energetic work before you can produce the external/physical results. The Scorpio Full Moon will shine a light on the entanglements which are cutting off life-force energy, like a plant whose roots have outgrown the container and begin to choke the plant to death. The Scorpio Full Moon will help you do some pruning and release the aspects of your life which have grown toxic or are no longer "alive". These values (Venus), ideas (Mercury) and aspects of your identity (Sun) are no longer viable and need to be cleared away to make room for what *IS* healthy and taking root to expand, while also creating space for new seeds to be planted.

What are you growing? What is not thriving in your *Garden* and may need to be reconsidered? Can you create better conditions? What is or is not worth cultivating? Take this time to reflect as you move through Spring Cleaning and organize your *Garden* ~ planting the seeds, watering them and infusing the *Garden* with prayers for healthy growth and fruitfulness. Use this month to redefine what you value and what you are willing to invest your precious resources of time, energy and money in ~ to ensure a healthy, beautiful, self-sustaining, and comfortable world. You are probably working on many different things you would like to grow and blossom in your world at this time. And as in a garden, each requires certain care to grow and maintain. This is the time you ground your intent and commit to steady, consistent efforts that produce results over time.

One final thought ... anything you create, you are responsible for (also known as the 'ability to respond'), so check out the origination of the word RESPOND: Latin ~ From respondere: re- "back" + spondere "to pledge" / "respond, answer to, promise in return". You did the work, clearing karmic debris and creating a space for the garden (your new life); you planted the seeds you chose for your new garden; and with the Full Moon in Scorpio, you are entering a covenant with the Universe that if It breathes LIFE in to your dreams, you will be RESPONSIBLE for nurturing them throughout their lifespan. Which leads to the French ~ responsible: "answerable (to another, for something)" / Meaning "morally accountable for one's actions". You CHOSE to create this life, now you are responsible for it and all that comes with it ... the good, the bad and the ugly! (As well as the knowledge that ALL IS PERFECT in the eyes of Great Spirit!) So take advantage of all these delicious (and potent) Earth energies to get 'real' with your Self and your deepest desires and values and THAT will be the life you will be living. All experience prior to now, was preparation for THIS! You're more ready than you think and this is no time to chicken-out, you are standing in the doorway which leads to a whole new existence, but you still have free will and choice. However, remember, you also have the supreme strength of some very powerful planets behind you, beside you, beneath you, above you and WITHIN YOU! It is time.

Aries-Taurus 2010 ~ Spring Equinox ~thru~ Cross Qtr/Beltane

2010-04-14T05:55:00.018-04:00

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically.

We grow sometimes in one dimension,

and not in another; unevenly.

We grow partially. We are relative.

We are mature in one realm, childish in another.

The past, present, and future mingle and

pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present.

We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

~ March 20, 2010 ~

Spring Equinox

~thru~

~ May 1, 2010 ~

Cross Qtr/Beltane

*Spring* Equinox ~ Vernal Equinox ~ Ostara ~ Around March 20th each year, we have the third of *8* Sacred Seasons ~ *INITIATING* a Renewal of Life & Light, Re-Birth and Resurrection. Vital energies and resources are now more readily available. It's time to plant seeds and initiate projects that will show promise by *Fall* Equinox. It is the first re-balancing of the Light, coming from predominantly Internal/Dark/Shadow/Fallow time and returning to an External/Light/Fertile time. Spring & Fall represent *Balance* and *Increase*, equal Light & Darkness, equal Day & Night. Sunrise and Sunset are *always* the best time to meditate as the veils between realms are thinner making clear communing easier and more productive. Consider the Solstices to be Initiation/Integration times and Equinoxes to be times of Change, Movement, Choices and Decisions. Spring Initiates New Life ~ Fall Assesses the Quality of the New Life and marks its on-going progress ... Assessing: what takes root (works & evolves), what needs more time (incubation & more care) and/or what should be released altogether to begin anew (compost & re-direction of the energies).

Also, the Sun enters Aries and initiates a brand new astrological year. It's time to be more physically active, to try new things, do some Spring cleaning (on many levels). You can choose what type of *Renewal* you'd like to experience every year. For example, one year you may want to focus on renewing the body or renewing your sacred space or renewing your relationships (to Self and others) ... you decide ~ get creative and dedicate a year to see what you can create when you work with the natural rhythms as well as the time and space you live in. It's time to *Initiate* a new aspect of your essential nature and deepest Self, which you may have only recently developed or discovered, to have the courage to live your Truth and serve your Purpose. It's time to look at the world through the eyes of a child, hopeful and excited about the adventure you are embarking upon and faith that all will be well on the journey.

This *Sacred Season* is About:

Turning Point / Crossroads

New Beginnings, Seed Planting and Initiation

Fiery Creativity, Fertility and Blossoming

Energy Resurrection, Renewed Life and Vitality

(within you and your environment)

Delicate Infant Stages, New Growth and Development

Spring Cleaning and Clearing

(mentally, physically, spiritually and environmentally)

Being Physical and/or Taking a Serious Step in the Direction of Your Goal

~ *Spring* Equinox 2010 ~

A non-doer is very often a critic.

That is someone who sits back

and watches doers ...and then waxes philosophically

about how the doers are doing.

It's easy to be a critic,

but being a doer requires

EFFORT, RISK & CHANGE.

This 6-week period covers ALL of Aries and initiates Taurus. It is a potent time for internal renewal and external new beginnings! The Creative Spark of Life (Aries) and the work of Cultivating Beauty and Value (Taurus) are what this Sacred Season is all about. The Re-Birth of Spring permeates all life (in this hemisphere), we experience a brief moment of *balance* between light and shadow before moving with the increasing light and life that Summer brings. This is your *Initiation* time ~ reborn from the ashes of the past year ~ on to a clean slate, fresh new canvas ~ what will you create this year? It's time to take full responsibility for your life, what you create and how your energy affects the world around you. Aries rules *Independence* and being self-sufficient during this time of global shift is more important than ever. It's taking on a much deeper meaning this year, in that, so many things that used to "work", no longer work; structures that used to support are no longer viable; support that used to be available is not as easily accessed at this time.

The personal planets travel through the zodiac at various speeds, stimulating each Sign in succession, the order of which varies according to their speed and direction as well. For some time now, Venus has been leading the way, suggesting that we much first clarify the priorities and assess the worth and value of intended actions. Then Mercury comes in and says, "OK, you now know what's important to you, let's explore the possible range of that!" and ideas start bubbling within your consciousness, others offer their unsolicited perspectives, a dialogue begins. And finally the Sun joins them, in this case, illuminating the Aries/Libra dynamic, with emphasis on Aries: New Beginnings, Rebirth & Renewal (the emphasis is on Libra in Sept/Oct each year). As soon as we initiate this year (March 20th), we have a couple of weeks to anchor the new identity, the new idea, the new relationship or project before the above "order" shifts (because of Mercury's Retrograde). Just do it!! Get moving - get started!! Sometimes, that's the hardest part - but NOT usually during this particular annual window of time. Taking calculated risks (on faith) and implementing well-thought-out plans (with optimism) is completely supported, you need only be prepared to improvise along the way as things do not often match the vision in our heads but that shouldn't stop you from creating or having a vision to begin with. Be open to *NEW* forms. Tune in to *Essence*. Allow for evolution to unfold.

Plant the seeds of a new year, new cycle and new *YOU* and prepare for Mercury's upcoming review in Taurus (we'll get to that a little later). For now consider that this month (March 20 - April 20) the Pluto in Capricorn ~ transforming reality ~ is going to feel very personal, pushing everyone out of comfort zone, in to new territory. Work with it! Don't fight it. Determine what you MOST want to transform about your individual Self and open to the many possible outcomes if you were to successfully transform that particular aspect of Self. If you were to completely change on a fundamental level, what you and your life look like? more importantly, what would they *feel* like? After we get through the initial shock of re-birth, (rest and replenish before next big move) we can then activate Taurus and begin exploring those feelings and new sensations. Practice *feeling* whole and protected and happy and centered and *ALIVE*. Taurus energy pushes us to tune in to our physical world and create with our own hands, something both useful and beautiful. Taurus energy turns Aries fiery enthusiasm in to a smoldering passion that will last longer and create something much more tangible and lasting. If you're paying attention, you too can adjust the *flame* as needed: are you in fiery, idea-mode or are you ready to cook that in to something yummy?

Aries is the Athlete and there is no other sign so *physical* as Taurus, so this whole season is tremendously supportive of working on your physical structure and/or stabilizing 3-D in some way. Devote some time to speed, endurance, strength and flexibility. Use this Sacred Season to improve the balance and stability of your Being, your life and your environment. Reflect on the last couple of months and the Mars Retrograde in Leo, what have you discovered about 'who you are' (on a core, essential level) and 'what you want' (deep in your heart)? The chance to re-work your desires occurs with Mars every 2 years, so if you get in rhythm with it, creating what you want (Mars rules your desire nature) gets a rhythm to it too and you become much more effective in shorter amounts of time. Use the information revealed to determine the next 90-days. Keep in mind this quarter is tremendously potent and sets the tone for the entire year. Use the first *3* Lunations to clear a space (Full Moon) for the *new* to take root (New Moon) ~ set your intentions ~ do your rituals ~ stay alert and listen for guidance along the way.

This Sacred Season is about *Initiation* ~ activity, growth and expansion. It's about activating vital life-force energy and being surprised by what ultimately blossoms. You can never predict, only sow the seeds, till the soil and work with the elements to ensure *Life*. Throw all issues and (perceived) limitations in to the compost pile to be recycled into something useful, redistribute this fertilizer and tend to the seedlings that show tangible promise. Mercury is going to come along in April (and May) and spend an extended period in Taurus, which will assist you in cultivating the good ideas and simmering the others till they are ready to share.

~ POWER ~

(Conjunct/Conjunction)

The only exact hit this Season is Mercury Retrograde in Taurus, cultivating ideas behind the scenes, joining the Sun in Taurus pushing your nature a bit. This energy makes you want to "do" or produce tangible results (as opposed to "talking" about it). It is an extremely useful energy which will help you clarify and align your thinking with the identity you are cultivating at this time. Look for new perspectives on the quality of your life. Are you enjoying *present moment* ~ giving gratitude for your blessings? Are you looking for opportunities for pleasure (or blockages/delays)? You usually find whatever you're looking for. This is a potent time to re-think how you really express your values, through how you direct your energy and resources. It's time to renew beauty and pleasure in your daily life too.

4/28 ~ Mercury Retro/Sun in Taurus ~ ALL Earth

*NOTE* ~ ALL direct connections between Mercury (your voice) and the Sun (your identity) this year coincide with the Mercury Retrograde periods, which is an indication that re-viewing your thoughts, ideas and concepts of who you are ~ getting more practical and grounded ~ is all being stimulated this year. In between Retrogrades, they will connect in Pisces (March) and Cancer (June) which is an additional indication that *feelings* are communicating with you as well. Look for the messages and do some processing in between because this will be just as important as the Retrograde work. If you do well on the re-view, then the direct motion should support following your feelings and intuition because theoretically, you've gotten multiple perspectives and gained more clarity. Now forward movement will be more productive and you will feel more stable and secure.

Direct Contact Days ~ 2010:

Jan 4th / Rx / Capricorn / Earth

Mar 14th / Direct / Pisces / Water

Apr 28th / Rx / Taurus / Earth

Jun 28th / Direct / Cancer / Water

Sep 3rd / Rx / Virgo / Earth

Dec 20th / Rx / Sagittarius / Fire

~ BALANCE & COMPROMISE ~

(Oppose/Opposition)

This Sacred Season will be initiating on so many levels. The *Integration* that Oppositions bring is vital. With such larger themes of renewal, this time would be best served anchoring your *new* identity and priorities, while maintaining healthy boundaries and taking things one step at a time. Saturn is the common denominator here, the planet of boundaries, limitations and structure. These are not necessarily bad things until they are in excess, then they become blockages, delays and stagnation. All is widely available so watch your choices on how you navigate this time. Saturn is Retrograde, for these current activations, doing the overlapping work of completing Virgo (healing the structure/creating a new system) and initiating Libra (recalibrating relationships and responsibilities).

So ~ in the first activation between Sun (Identity/Source) in Aries (Independence/New Beginning) and Saturn Retro in Libra (Balance/Reciprocity), you get an opportunity to review your commitments ~ both to your Self and to others. This coincides with Spring Equinox, initiating a completely new year and this initiates the Saturn 2+ year process through Libra. This sets the tone for the on-going work of your independence within the context of relationships (Aries/Libra) ~ how your renewed Identity (Sun/Aries) is automatically shifting the Balance, Reciprocity and the Reality of your Relationships (Saturn Rx/Libra). It's time to re-think and ultimately, re-negotiate the terms of your commitments. We want responsibilities we are glad to take on because we care about what we are contributing to and release the obligations that are weighty with other people's baggage. Use this whole Season to reflect on this and look for forward movement in the Summer.

3/21 ~ Sun in Aries / Saturn Retro in Libra ~ Fire/Air

Later in the Season, April 26th, we have the 4th (of 5) activations between Saturn and Uranus. This is the final contact (for 42+ years anyway) on the Virgo/Pisces axis (final polarity) which is an indication that the Virgo/Pisces work is somehow vital to initiating the Aries/Libra work and the new cycle. This is a Social and Collective Activation that will *ping* everyone 5 times over a 2-year period (2008-2010) and it made me think of the "5-Act Structure" of a theatrical performance. Our initiation was Nov 4, 2008 (US Election Day) and we have two more in 2009, February and September; with the final two in 2010, April and July.

Something to consider as you review this activation in detail below. There are many breakdowns and descriptions of a "5-Act Structure" ... here's the "Kelly version":

ACT 1 ~ Introduction to the players and establishment of points and possibilities, as well as the time & place

~ Astrologically: INITIATION

~ November 4, 2008

~ Saturn and Uranus both Direct

ACT 2 ~ Events accelerate, momentum builds, complications and complexities are revealed

~ Astrologically: TEST of what you've learned so far

~ February 5, 2009

~ Saturn is Retrograde and Uranus is Direct

ACT 3 ~ Climax of action, choices, critical mass & crossroads

~ Astrologically: INTEGRATION, assessment and compromise

~ September 15, 2009

~ Saturn is Direct and Uranus is Retrograde

ACT 4 ~ Descent, fear (false evidence appearing real), test of faith and reversal of fortunes

~ Astrologically: TEST of the quality of integration

~ April 26, 2010

~ Saturn is Retrograde and Uranus is Direct

ACT 5 ~ Resolution, transmutation and awakening to a new level of understanding

~ Astrologically: COMPLETION ... in preparation for initiation of a new kind

~ July 26, 2010

~ Both Direct and Both in *NEW* Signs ~ Libra/Aries

*UPDATED* ~ Initiating a *NEW* ERA / *This aspect is ONGOING for the next 2yrs. This is the BIGGIE ... of the month, of the year, of four DECADES! Saturn in Virgo Oppose Uranus in Pisces, which is going to have FIVE exact hits (3 is 'normal') over the next 2 years, anchoring then next 40+ years. These are two energies that get together like this every (approx) 42 years (half of the Uranus 84yr cycle) and they shake up our fundamental foundations and structures to bring in new life, new energy, new ideas and new directions. Needless to say this energy strongly affects large groups of people, on the social and collective levels. The individuals feeling this the most will be those with any Virgo/Pisces and/or Gemini/Sagittarius in their chart. This is a time of ‘radically shifting’ (Uranus) your fundamental foundations (Saturn) in a push-pull dance. Watch extremes in either direction, too rigid vs. too radical. The point of this energy, individually and collectively, is to break you out of stagnation that is suffocating your growth and expansion on many levels, some mundane (job, marriage, long-term patterns or habits) and some on higher levels (consciousness, community, life on Earth). You will likely have an ‘aha’ moment (or several) during this 2-year process as this aspect is activating all of us five times, over the course of 2008-2010. This is a long term cycle that takes time to truly integrate. What happens initially, is you will be blocked on some level, leading you to question your entire life, and eventually work your way around to CREATIVE SOLUTIONS to very old challenges. Don’t waste this opportunity to allow change to happen within and around you ... it is time. Honor it, go with the evolutionary flow, and consciously co-create. If you KNOW certain patterns are holding you back, then consciously commit to releasing them. If you were not happy in the work you were doing, if it was just for a paycheck and not heart-centered work, then consciously commit to figuring out what you REALLY want to contribute to within society, how you - just being YOU - could best serve humanity, your community but most of all your own Being. You owe your Self not to blow this chance for an inner and outer revolution - use the energy available and release what you can, adjust what you can, integrate what you can and BE - WHAT YOU CAN (BE)! Your true potential awaits your (re) commitment.

4/26 ~ Saturn Retro in Virgo / Uranus in Pisces ~ Earth/Water

Life is a process of becoming,

a combination of states we have to go through.

Where people fail is that they wish to

elect a state and remain in it.

This is a kind of death.

~ OPTIONS & ADVANTAGES ~

(Sextile)

Early in the Season, Mars finally Direct in Leo makes its first notable contact to Saturn Retrograde in Libra. Now that you know who you are (Leo) and what you want (Mars), this is a vital opportunity to review your own structure and foundation as well as that of your relationships. Will it support the *new* you? You are going to want to define your terms, again, with Self and others and this process may be primarily behind the scenes, tangible results coming in June. This is Energy (Mars) and Stamina (Saturn) coming together, in Fire (Creativity) and Air (Ideas) Signs, Leo (Self-Love/Courage) and Libra (Balance/Reciprocity in Relationships). There is a LOT to work with during the first part of this new year. Maximize it by clarifying your intentions along the way.

3/22 ~ Mars in Leo / Saturn Retro in Libra ~ Fire/Air

As stated above, Venus is leading the personal planets at this time, so as Venus, then Mercury, then the Sun move in to Aries, they will engage the larger energy of Neptune and Chiron finishing their Aquarius work of uniting and healing the culture of humanity with all life on this planet. We will have to work very hard to ensure that technology serves as tools for evolution and positive change and right now, the collective cycles get very personal. In Aries, you should focus on renewal (life) and releasing the past (death). It's time to be pro-active on behalf of your Self, it's time to get fired up about something relevant and fully step in to a new *you*.

Venus/Mercury/Sun in Aries / Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius

3/29 ~ Venus in Aries / Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius

3/31 ~ Mercury in Aries / Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius

4/18 ~ Sun in Aries / Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius

Then, Venus continues ahead of the crew in to Taurus to take up the bigger causes of stabilizing and cultivating Truth (Jupiter) and Freedom (Uranus) and how your new values and priorities are creating a new vision (Pisces) that you are feeling the urge to manifest in the 3-D. This energy gets everyone present to how beautiful and bountiful life on Earth can be. This is an opportunity to reconnect the Taurus and Pisces aspects of your chart, getting practical about the vision and also (re)dedicating to creating it physically. This is Earth giving Water (flow) a structure so it is more effective. Life doesn't have to be a struggle from the cradle-to-the-grave, however, it does demand that you have your priorities straight. Living on Earth requires effort and dedication to maintain and preserve life, otherwise nature assumes it's ready to be composted again because there is no waste or true stillness ~ everything is constantly moving, birthing, living, dying and becoming sustenance for the next phase of life. It is an intricate system, that Venus reminds us constantly, is extremely inter-connected and related to the quality of life on this planet. This is a great time to dream up a new *routine* that supports the new vision of Truth and Freedom you are cultivating for yourself at this time. We're looking at how your values and priorities (Venus) as an individual (personal planet) affects the social vision of Truth and Story (Jupiter in Pisces) and the collective vision of Freedom to believe in Liberation for all life (Uranus in Pisces).

Venus in Taurus / Jupiter/Uranus in Pisces

~ OPPORTUNITY TO GROW ~

(Square)

This Season holds the annual evolutionary push between Sun (Identity/Source) and Pluto (Purification/Transformation) ~ Self and Collective ~ Outer Surface and Deepest Inner. Friction is created between the Individual's need for autonomy and its ability to be responsible enough to handle that autonomy with integrity and steadfastness. This is the time of year, during Pluto's 16-year journey through Capricorn, that will come every year during Aries time (and Libra time but that will have a different vibration to the work). You would want to pace your Self and set some clear long-term goals for transforming your identity and thus, your contribution. Honor the opportunities as they are presented especially the ones which give you a chance to improvise and test your reflexes. This is new territory and new responses are required. Consider this a *testing* time and be very wary of repeating mistakes. If you continue to respond in the same-old ways, then you can expect to be tested over and over on the same material until you pass (respond to same stimuli with a new response). Passing this test each year requires you to evolve in some tangible way and break very deeply ingrained patterns that block the full expression of your unique Self. This time entails making *new* choices when faced with the on-going process of being an individual (Sun/Aries) within a global and ever-expanding family (Pluto/Capricorn).

3/25 ~ Sun in Aries / Pluto in Capricorn

In April, Mercury is going to contact Mars twice, once Direct and a second time Retrograde, giving you the opportunity to review how your thinking is lining up with your actions and what needs to be done to truly anchor this renewed sense of Self (Mars in Leo). Venus is working with this process as well. It is highly recommended to use the intensity or even the frustration of the current challenges or do-overs as *fuel* to drive you to re-dedicate yourself TO your Self, anchoring the changes within and without, by engaging your BEST outlet: creativity, art, music, movement ~ channel that energy and express how you are feeling but also pay close attention to how your thinking is shifting and how Truth is fluid.

Venus/Mercury in Taurus / Mars in Leo

4/3 ~ Venus in Taurus / Mars in Leo

4/5 ~ Mercury Direct in Taurus / Mars in Leo (1 of 2 hits)

4/25 ~ Mercury Retro in Taurus / Mars in Leo (2 of 2 hits)

Toward the end of April, when Mercury is working it out with Mars in Leo, Venus will be directly opposite, working it out with the Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius energies. This is a chance for some very long-term healing to truly take root. You are completely supported for creating a radically different life for yourself that is based more on an integration of your personal Truth and the collective Truth. Big changes out in the world are forcing individuals to get clear about who they are and what they are capable of. This energy will further that along.

4/23 ~ Venus in Taurus / Neptune/Chiron in Aquarius

To exist is to change,

to change is to mature,

to mature is to go on ...

creating one Self endlessly!

~ BLESSINGS ~

(Trine)

Spring Equinox brings the Sun in to Aries and we get a quick flash of inspiration as contact is made with newly forward-moving Mars in Leo. This is a fiery blessing to tune in to throughout the entire Season. Then the action moves ... Venus, Mercury and Sun move in to Taurus and create complete inner renewal and outer transformation with Pluto in Capricorn. This is where the routine can/will easily fall in to place. You'll have access to energy that is grounding, stable and practical and as you recognize changes that are inevitable, you will move in to your new rhythm with ease and grace.

Venus/Mercury/Sun in Taurus / Pluto in Capricorn ~ ALL Earth

4/4 ~ Venus in Taurus / Pluto in Capricorn

4/6 ~ Mercury in Taurus / Pluto Retro in Capricorn

4/25 ~ Sun in Taurus / Pluto Retro in Capricorn

And late April, while Venus is still in Taurus, she will contact Saturn Retrograde in Virgo and to contribute her piece to that particular completion. Venus will help with the final healing and integration of a new system (personal, social and collective) that supports life, love and beauty! Use this time to dig deep within for your true values and priorities, to what you consider "real" (or not), to your definition of beauty. This is potent Earth energy, solidifying the work of the last two years (Saturn in Virgo), reconnecting with your *body* and recognizing the eternal connection of the two (body & spirit). This is a time to see where the structure of your daily life needs an infusion of "love, life and beauty". This is the time to call in the fusion of your body and spirit and honor your own power to create a beautiful and bountiful life here on Earth.

4/25 ~ Venus in Taurus / Saturn Retrograde in Virgo

ADD'L THOUGHTS

There are many other planetary alignments during this *Initiation* that are contributing to the tone and possibilities.

Initiate *3* High Moons ~

The *3* High Moons refer to the Lunations which usher in the Spring Festivals each year as life is renewed. They are the following: Aries New/Libra Full Moon, Taurus New/Scorpio Full Moon and Gemini New/Sagittarius Full Moon. There are many cultures and belief systems that refer to these Full Moons which *AWAKEN* the life force energy (Aries/Libra), the Christ nature of unconditional love and acceptance, then the Buddha nature of compassion and forgiveness (Taurus/Scorpio), and finally, wisdom and understanding comes (Gemini/Sagittarius) every year, activating every lifeform's genetic code on a cellular level reminding them of the annual opportunity to seed and renew *LIFE*.

StarPriestess.com's Allison Rae describes the Festivals we celebrate during the Spring Equinox ~ Sacred Season every year. She says, "This is the first of the three great spring lunar festivals. Arriving just after the Equinox point, this Full Moon represents balance, culmination and renewal. The Festival of Easter or Festival of the Christ (Libra/Aries) celebrates the advent of Christ Consciousness on Earth and relates to the resurrection and ascension of the soul. Wesak Festival or Festival of the Buddha (Scorpio/Taurus) celebrates the birth, death and enlightenment of the Buddha and serves as a focal point for the seeding of spiritual enlightenment on Earth. During the Full Moon Festival of Humanity (Sagittarius/Gemini), the energies received through the previous two lunar gateways are disseminated into the Earth grid through the hearts of planetary servers."

I highly recommend consciously working with the *3* Lunations of this Sacred Season: Spring Equinox ~thru~ Summer Solstice as they will also prepare you for the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses of June/July. Keep in mind too that the Cross Quarters in between are intense and potent times to check in on your progress (Taurus/Scorpio). The mid-point of this Season is around May 1st and sometimes referred to as Beltane.

Vesta in Leo/Virgo ~ Sept 2009 - Sept 2010: Vesta usually spends about 2-months in a sign, and what should be a 4-5 month process through these two Signs is extended in to a one year process of making your own creative process *Sacred* again and healing your connection to Source. This protracted period in these two Signs has been perfecting *YOU*. Leo is the lesson of Self-Love and Virgo is the lesson of Trust, both of which need to be mastered before moving to Libra, when you start interacting with others. Vesta is the aspect of fire and sexuality which *Creates* ~ a most potent force to work with. It is Sacred and should be expressed with care and consideration. In this case, knowing who you are (Leo) and how Sacred that is ... and knowing that your on-going contribution is the daily practice of mindfulness and order (Virgo) and how Sacred that is ... to the *Health & Vitality* (we're back to Virgo and Leo respectively) of the whole.

Chiron in Aquarius ~ 2005-2010: This is a time when people need to heal their connection to the earth and be more grounded and balanced. Until they do, they will struggle to manifest their ideals. In the 3-D, Higher Consciousness needs a structure or vehicle of expression otherwise, what good is it? We need this consciousness to be practically applied in the 3-D world.

Chiron in Pisces ~ 2010-2018: This is a time when people need to heal their sensitivity. Sensitivity is a GIFT, however, it is a mixed blessing. Being so sensitive can also make you feel the need to protect your Self, and in piling on whatever layers of protection you think you need, you LOSE TOUCH with your ability to "sense" things around you. Body - Buildings - Energy Fields - whatever you 'surround' your Self with as 'protection', when excessive or imbalanced, can block necessary, incoming energy and information. Until you find a balance and understanding of WHAT you are sensing, you will struggle to connect to God/Spirit/Oneness/BLISS (that is essential to your nature).

For the Collective ... during this 5+ year period of Chiron in Aquarius, we have come to realize that "either/or" serves no one, all Spirit-all the time and you are no longer grounded / all reality-all the time and you are no longer *free*. We must get creative to accommodate the growing family of humanity. We have to heal the wounds of the past and honor them by allowing them to close (and you to move on) ... get to the work of co-creating a renewed global family.

For the Collective ... during the 8+ year period of Chiron in Pisces, we will recognize the value of intuition and the necessity of healthy boundaries. We must recognize that some of the wounds are collective, and what is the collective - but the whole of the individuals - so it stands to reason that if we facilitate our own individual healing and wholeness, that would automatically serve to create a collective healing. We must practice Higher Consciousness in our daily, mundane, 3-D world, making it practical and useful for the entire community. Use tools properly (3-D/Saturn), access Spirit (Consciousness/Uranus) regularly and honor all living beings (Justice/Jupiter).

Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn ~

Another reason it is so intense at this time is Pluto just went Retrograde (Apr 6 - Sept 13) for the next several months provoking a deep delving for all. This too is a blessing, however it appears in your life/reality. We know how Pluto is moving the collective along, but as an individual, you should tune in to this energy for a final purge and purification of anything you've neglected, suppressed or allowed to fester and grow toxic in the dark corners of your Being, your Heart and/or your Mind, for far too long. (Look to the Capricorn House(s) of your chart for the ultimate goal of the Pluto activation. This is in conjunction with the Aries, Libra and Cancer sectors of your chart as well.) Again, choosing to work consciously with the energy will make its journey through whatever part of your chart easier to take and more productive in the end. Pluto is just introducing you to how you will be pushed to "grow up" through this 16-year process.

It's time to pull in and assess how you handle personal and professional responsibility (Capricorn) and if you have heeded the signs to move in to *heart-centered* work, by any means necessary (then Pluto's power is a delicious help). If you have coasted on the backs of others, ignored your own Truth(s) and essentially avoided reality on any or many levels, then this will be a tough (but necessary) review and adjustment period.

Saturn Retrograde RE-Enters Virgo ~

This April-July, Saturn will complete its work through Virgo, that is, restructuring our daily lives on fundamental levels and creating new systems for living. This is your chance to tie up any loose ends that have to do with you the individual, your healing, your structure, your daily routine. You must anchor that prior to the next evolution, which is Saturn through Libra, when you will have no choice but to deal with other people and relationships of all kinds, on all levels (personal, social & collective).

Mercury Retrograde in Taurus ~

Mercury usually spends about 3 weeks in a Sign and Retrogrades 3-4 times per year, extending that stay. While Mercury Retrograde does seem to consistently coincide with technical and mechanical challenges, it is also a *prime* time to commune with nature, Great Spirit and your Higher Self. Mercury Retrogrades are times to review your ideas, perceptions and thought patterns, as well as how you are "processing" life in general. April/May brings 2 full months of Mercury in Taurus, the lesson of proper values and personal priorities. This suggests that we get to review our thinking for where it is/is not grounded and practical, while also reviewing ideas and concepts for their usefulness and innate beauty. This whole year is a major opportunity to anchor some creative ideas so they can manifest in 3-D, benefiting you and serving others.

Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn launched a review of the strategy and plan (Dec/Jan); Mercury Retrograde in Taurus will launch a review that cultivates that "strategy & plan" (Apr/May); which will lead to Mercury Retrograde in Virgo, which will perfect all the ideas and prepare them (and you) for "sharing" (Aug/Sept). Ultimately, we will end 2010, like we did 2009, with a Mercury Retrograde straddling the new year and this time it will be Earth/Fire (Capricorn/Sag), leading to a predominantly *FIRE* year.

Here are my thoughts:

~ 2009 was Air/Earth giving us the opportunity to review the ideas (Air) and test them out, experiment and improvise in real time (Earth) which should have yielded some useful information for guiding 2010.

~ 2010 is giving us the opportunity (to go willingly or get dragged) to apply all that we learned last year to working the ideas in the 3-D, also garnering additional useful information on what physically works and what doesn't.

~ 2011 brings in the *Fire* which can be potently creative or explosively destructive, your choice. Earth gives Fire a *container* ~ a purpose ~ a guide ... or it smothers it. Create your *container* this year (2010) ~ the vehicle that will carry your idea(s) forth in to manifestation. Cultivate a solid base this year, and next year (2011) you'll be able to take advantage of the fiery creativity that will be bubbling behind the scenes of each Mercury Retrograde (2011).

Use this April/May to infuse your thinking with practicality, simplify your personal process and (somehow) connect with the natural beauty within and around you. Every 6-7 years, Mercury Retrogrades through all ONE Element, this year is Earth, and the last time was 2003, so there is your frame of reference. Can you remember 2002 as experimental (Air/Earth similar to 2009) and 2003 as pushing your ideas in to manifestation (ready or not)? (All Earth similar to 2010)

ALL *3* Earth Signs Activated ~

I thought it was worth noting for April, Mercury Retrogrades through Taurus, Pluto Retrogrades through Capricorn, and Saturn (which is already Retrograde) RE-Enters Virgo for the last time in 28+ years. This is a time of MAJOR Review & Completion where our personal, social and collective concepts are concerned: the concept of values and resources (Taurus), structures and stability (Capricorn) and general physical health (Virgo) for humans on this planet (Earth). It's time to master the rhythms of nature (seasons) and deepen your understanding of time and space so you can create a better quality of life, not only for you, but restoring the balance will serve generations to come. Reconnect with your own body/physical vitality and reconnect with Mother Earth in ways that support and preserve life.

The heights great men reached and kept,

were not obtained by sudden flight ...

But they, while their companions slept,

were toiling upward in the night.

Winner's Blueprint for Achievement:

BELIEVE while others are doubting.

PLAN while others are playing.

STUDY while others are sleeping.

DECIDE while others are delaying.

PREPARE while others are daydreaming.

BEGIN while others are procrastinating.

WORK while others are wishing.

SAVE while others are wasting.

LISTEN while others are talking.

SMILE while others are frowning.

COMMEND while others are criticizing.

PERSIST while others are quitting.

Aries 2010 ~ Rebirth & Renewal

2010-03-29T17:52:00.003-04:00

I prefer to be true to myself,

even at the hazard of

incurring the ridicule of others,

rather than to be false, and

to incur my own abhorrence.

~ Frederick Douglass ~

Venus (values/priorities) and Mercury (thoughts/ideas/concepts) both dive in to Aries prior to the Sun, getting your *Heart* (Venus) and *Mind* (Mercury) in alignment so that a renewed *Identity* (Sun) can shine forth. As the Sun enters Aries ~ *Spring* Equinox Initiates a new Solar/astrological year. This is a *Universal* RE-Set Button. Clean Slate. New Beginning. It is *Initiation/Integration* for my Aries/Libra babies and *Growth/Development* for my Cancer/Capricorn babies. However, everyone has Aries ruling some area of life and this is the area of life that gets activated at this time every year. Do you know your rhythm for this? How do you feel every Spring? Aries energy activates the instinctual draw toward change and new beginnings. Old ways no longer work and you must get out of your comfort zone and experiment with new modes of operating. It's time to *move* again, shake off the sleepiness of Winter. It's an annual Re-Birth that reminds you to honor both the Shadow and the Light, the visible work, done in the Light and often with others ... and ... the invisible work, done in the Shadow, behind the scenes, alone and hidden from view. How would you like to do things differently this year? What aspect of your life, being or environment could use some conscious focus and intent?

Mars rules Aries and defines your desire nature. It represents how you *DO* in the world, what motivates you to action and gets you fired up. Aries is the lesson of independence and courage, knowing who you are, what you want and embodying THAT! This is a Divine opportunity to discover what you're really capable of when you match passion with vision, align your heart/mind connection and never hesitate to take heart-centered action. It is time to embody the energy that is both wild and peaceful, always alert and ready for the next the adventure. Obstacles ~ that's a detail! Delays ~ better watch out! Challenges ~ bring it on! Aries is single-minded, determined and completely focused on present moment so it particularly adept at improvising with whatever is available in the here and now. (We could all use some practice there!) It's the fire that fuels the desire driving that moment in time.

Imbalanced Aries, demonstrates negative Libra: indecision, people-pleasing, other-directed. It is best for Aries energy to remain central and first priority. When Aries is balanced, it embodies courage and pure, instinctive drive ~ it gets things moving and it's exciting to behold. In its most noble expression, Aries energy brings out a protective warrior who defends the weak and infirm. It's very passionate (for the moment) and draws many challenges to their independence and courage to test the purity of the motivations and desires. It's time for you to be more independent and self-sufficient, using what you've got (internally and externally) and acting in present moment with faith and conviction. As you re-connect with your instinctual Self (Aries), your interactions with other life (Libra) around you will be more harmonious because you are initiating from the purest center. When you are self-sufficient, others want to support you ~ when you're passionate and clearly connected to your instincts (guiding your *now*), people want to bask in the warmth of your fire. It sparks your creativity and ignites others' and something *NEW* is born.

Aries' animal spirit is that of the Ram, fearless, agile and determined. It's time to find a cause or purpose larger than your small individual life otherwise, this same energy can be extremely selfish and one-dimensional. This energy is great for starting things, but you should also have other people or entities in place to support future growth and development. This is the energy of *Initiation* ~ getting things started ~ getting things moving in a *new* direction. Develop your own independent nature, cultivate a strong instinctual connection, improvise often, channel rage (paralyzing) into outrage (mobilizing), rise to the challenges as they are presented with heart and courage and gain the wisdom that is *YOU*! We are born on this planet with all that we need, desire and deserve coded in to our DNA. Modern life has attempted to disconnect our instinctual connection to Mother Earth, however, that is impossible. We need only be still and re-member ~ re-connect with our Source - from which we come and to whom all return ~ tune in to the cycles, honor them with your dedication and bountiful blessings for all will be the result.

Happy New Year!

for *Spring*Equinox Tele-Gathering

3rd Annual *Spring* Equinox Gathering

w. Shanta Gabriel

of TheGabrielMessages.com

~ New Beginnings ~ Initiation ~ ReBirth ~

When I dare to be powerful,

to use my strength in the service of my vision,

then it becomes less and less important

whether I am afraid.

Living on planet Earth is about natural rhythm and this is an *Initiation* of a new Annual cycle when the Sun enters Aries, the Infant on the Karmic Wheel. *Spring* Equinox honors the Light and initiates forward movement. Whatever additional Planetary Alignments of the time assist, by contributing their power and lessons to the energetic mix. This year, there are many assistants to your *process* of unfoldment, but the *stars* of this initiation are:

16 years ~ Pluto in Capricorn (transformation of reality)

3 years ~ Saturn Retrograde in Libra (restructuring relationships)

8 months ~ Mars in Leo (courage & authenticity)

1 of 12 years ~ Jupiter (truth/story) and ...

7 of 84 years ~ Uranus (freedom/liberation) in Pisces (completion of 7yrs) and moving in to Aries this summer (initiation of 7yrs)

On-going themes still apply, like the Saturn/Uranus, but herein I am referring to the current ANNUAL cycle. And Pluto in Capricorn engages every Equinox and Solstice every year until 2024. Pluto is purifying and transforming what you are truly responsible for, which is ultimately your contribution. A new beginning ~ fresh start ~ clean slate ... and who better to assist with clearing the debris and releasing the non-essential to make *room* for your 'new beginning' ~ than Pluto, Lord of Purification & Transformation. Your essential nature (Sun) and the purest, deepest part of you (Pluto) connect in a rhythm every year, four times a year for 16 years (2008-2024) that Pluto is in Capricorn. As it reshapes you from the inside out, so too will the collective shapeshift.

The 4 *ANNUAL* Activations:

~ Initiation ~ Winter Solstice/Capricorn

~ First Test ~ Spring Equinox/Aries

~ Integration ~ Summer Solstice/Cancer

~ Final Test ~ Fall Equinox/Libra

Some astrologers consider Conjunctions, Oppositions and Squares as "hard" and "negative", however, I do not ever subscribe to "blanket rules or assessments" when seasons and human beings are in the mix ~ *ANYTHING* IS POSSIBLE! These connections, which the planets make to each other, facilitate movement and necessary change. If you are ready, open and receptive, they ASSIST you in moving to the next level, creating tangible results and measurable progress. If you are not ready, narrow-minded and/or resistant to change, then yes, it is going to be more challenging ... but you'll be in new territory nonetheless. Perhaps facing these crossroads and choices will make you more amenable to the current shifts within the very essence of your Being. Most of you know by now, I am ALL ABOUT THE CONSCIOUS CO-CREATION with the available energies. It's my job to tell you what those energies are, it's your job to direct them in your own life and community.

The *Initiation* is *Winter* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto get together, increase each other's power to purify you and your intentions for the coming new year. They advise, "First, you must rest, replenish, mature and gather strength (power)." *Spring* and *Fall* Equinox, when Sun/Pluto have to consciously work out their differences, and you are moved to a new level of understanding by choice or by force, it's up to you and your consciousness to decide. Both Equinoxes bring the push to the next level in their individual ways. *Spring* Equinox is about initiation, new beginnings, getting things moving in a forward direction. *Fall* Equinox is about assessment of the harvest, how productive and effective you have been throughout the year. Both require decisions and are dynamic in nature, facilitating actual change. *Summer* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto have to balance and integrate all that you've initiated at Spring-time; it's a time of blossoming and expanding and you are moved to accommodate all that you've created in new, innovative ways.

You are *READY*!! Don't look back, practice presence & mindfulness and apply new strategies for living. I hope you'll join us for this celebration.

At this time, YOUR personal ...

Wounds will be healed

Connections will be made

Truths will be revealed

Innate strengths and gifts will be remembered

Fragments of your Self will be re-integrated & anchored

There is power in intent, and even more with the group energy all being directed at the same time for the upliftment of the global community, of which you are a primary part. What we are coming together to co-create transcends language, like art and music, energy needs no translation ... you FEEL it.

Turning point / crossroads

New beginnings, seed-planting and initiation

*Spring* Equinox 2010 Celebration

Pisces 2010 ~ Back to the Womb

2010-02-21T21:26:00.015-05:00

The world is round and

the place which may seem like the end

... may also be the beginning.

As we enter the current Pisces energy, many people will be feeling more sensitive than usual, picking up all kinds of information via all six senses. Over-sensitivity that disrupts your flow and takes you away from your center is one thing, but a better way to think of this energy is to ponder the concept of how sound penetrates when you put your head under water. It is likely the same sensation as when you were in the womb of your mother's belly. You actually "feel" the sounds more than you "hear" them, you "sense" all the activity around you. That is the essence of NOW. And like back then, you are picking up a multitude of vibrations ~ hearing, feeling and sensing the world around you at this time. To properly navigate these sometimes murky waters, you must integrate Pisces' opposite energy of Virgo, by sorting and sifting through these vibrations and connecting to the ones that resonate deeply within you while filtering out the disharmony. Then the question becomes, what does the world around you "feel" and "sound" like? Is it peaceful or chaotic? Is it loud or quiet? Is it warm or cold? Is it comfortable or uncomfortable?

You must be highly discriminating about the people, energies and circumstances you are near, just as an expectant mother would not put her health in danger as it could also harm the baby. You are at a delicate time in your evolution and *everything* matters. I have mentioned recently that things are no longer linear and everyone is being forced to adjust to that fact and what it means for us individually as well as collectively. You will be relying more on your intuition than your intellect. This is a terrific month to search your heart and soul for what "non-linear thinking" means for you personally. Meditate, commune with your invisible helpers, ask the questions and invite the answers to how you can lovingly move your Self along in this new world which is being (re)formed at this time. How will your life have to change for you to integrate more non-linear ways of being? ~ of existing on this planet here and now today? ~ of living in and contributing to your individual communities?

~ Virgo asks ...

"What is the most effective and efficient way

to accomplishing my goals?"

~ Pisces asks ...

"What is the most beautiful and unifying way

to accomplishing my goals?"

Once again, both are useful, especially when they are integrated, Earth (Virgo) can give the Water (Pisces) a structure which guides the FLOW ... Healing and Completion are the goals this month, in preparation for rebirth come *Spring* Equinox and Aries time. I invite you to entertain the Infinite Possibilities during this time. I invite you to search your deepest, core being and retrieve that precious part of your soul, that you buried long ago (under the guise of "protecting" it from harm) and bring it back up in to your conscious awareness to be re-introduced at this higher level where it can now be fully embodied by you and embraced by others. By doing so, you are connecting to your internal power Source and re-activating the part of you that knows how to live intuitively. Perhaps back then, you recognized an innate strength or gift but feared the unknown consequences of expressing it fully. No more fear, now you have 20+ years of information and experience under your belt, it is time to live soul-fully (Pisces) on a daily basis (Virgo). You've tried everything else, now try this!! (living intuitively) This month, you can HEAL that separation and prepare to move in to this new world fortified ~ perfect, whole and complete.

There comes a time when

the risk to remain tight in the bud

is more painful

than the risk it takes to blossom.

The current energy is helping you integrate your physical (Virgo/Earth) and spiritual (Pisces/Water) selves. At this time, you have to combine your intuition (Pisces) with the facts (Virgo) to determine your own reality. You can't be distracted by Pisces' delusions of grandeur, nor can you allow Virgo to obsess over inconsequentials. The imperative at this time is to take a personal inventory.

What do you have?

What do you need?

What do you want?

What is it worth to you?

What will you have to sacrifice?

What will you have to embrace?

What will you have to preserve?

During Pisces time, it is darkest before the dawn. You are preparing for an upcoming initiation. And alone, you must enter the tunnel that leads you to the other side (of wherever you are now) ... to the Light. (Nothing ventured, nothing gained. What do you have to lose at this point?) Only YOU can do this for your Self and it requires a certain determination, self-knowledge and focus.

"Focusing is the use of all of our senses, including intuition. It is from this world that women [people] come to claim their own voices, their own values, their imaginations, their clairvoyance, their stories, and the ancient memories of women [people]. And these are the work of focus and creation. If you've lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more." from Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola-Estes

What lies behind us and

what lies before us

are small matters compared to

what lies within us.

Major shifts have been happening for the last several years and continue to prepare you for the next several years and this month you will need to take periodic time-outs to rest, recognize and fully release that which is done and complete, while simultaneously continuing to grow forward, onward and upward.

Pisces time is the completion and return to the womb

in order to assimilate (Virgo) all the information

gathered over this last astrological year.

How can you unite your body and soul

to launch the new year strong & fully integrated?

FEB 2010 ~ Candlemas / Cross Quarter

+ *FREE* Tele-Gathering to Celebrate!

~ Feb 1st each year, is the second of *8* Sacred Seasons ~ *INVITING* a renewal of the Light. The light is returning, the days are getting longer and the nights are getting shorter. This is the season you commit to the process of nurturing the intentions you set for the new year at Winter Solstice. In order to create anew, sacrifices and changes must be made. This time of year coincides with Lent, when many cultures give up something cherished in an effort to cleanse and clear a space for renewed growth, within your Being and your environment. This season will culminate on Aug 1st with the Cross Quarter/Lammas, so what would you like to create by then? What are you willing to give up to further your goals? What relationships are you willing to commit to and cultivate?

Cross Quarters are considered the *Gates of Power* ~ the in between ~ the mid-point between the Solstices and Equinoxes. This is the *Sweet Spot* ~ between seed and new life, where Infinite Potential lies. Use this time to turn within and hold your own counsel. Define freedom. Define liberation. Define community.

Acknowledging a Turning Point
Using the Sacred Season to Rest, Replenish & Ruminate

AQUARIUS 2010 ~ Freedom & Liberation for ALL Life!

2010-01-24T23:45:00.007-05:00

AQUARIUS 2010:

Inner Peace & Love is the Way to

Freedom & Liberation for ALL Life!

AQUARIUS: Freedom Requires Responsibility
LEO: Love Requires Authenticity

Aquarius has to integrate the self-love lesson of Leo, in order to make its unique contribution to the community and reminds you to think outside the box (Aquarius/Uranus) & follow your heart (Leo/Sun) for the betterment of all. One month past the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses (course corrections) of Dec/Jan, what crossroads can you identify? What correlations can you make to the Aug 2008 Leo/Aquarius Eclipses? This Lunation will activate those Eclipses again this month. What has changed on a *fundamental* level (Cancer/Capricorn ~ personal/professional) for you, that has now made you aware of how vital it is to honor your essential nature (Leo/Sun) so you are able to contribute to the whole (Aquarius/Uranus) in a more useful and delicious way? We re-volve EVERY year ... this year we E-VOLVE!

A huge cycle in history just completed in 2008 (Pluto/Galactic Center/Sagittarius), and 2009 brought in considerable closure for those who go willingly and voluntarily (to the next level) and own a *NEW* Truth/Story. The way is a bit more harrowing for those who insist on holding on (fixed nature types) to that which has crumbled and dis-integrated because it has served its purpose, completed and is no longer necessary. It is time for you to further define truth and happiness for yourself. It can no longer follow the formula of generations past. You have direct access to this potent Uranian energy and you can now connect directly to a UNIQUE VISION OF LIFE, COMMUNITY AND THE PLANET.

The recent surge of Capricorn/Saturn energy has brought to the surface the need for a reality check but we're going to take that to a Higher level now, and rework our definition of reality and security. It is time to operate strictly from the HEART ... chase a PURPOSE, not a job! What is your purpose? How do you serve and contribute? If you've been stuck in "survival mode", for whatever reason, now is the time for a paradigm shift in to *Self-Preservation* ~ breaking chains of "obligation" in favor of being joyfully *responsible* for all you create. Life is too short and certainly hard enough on its own but when you are focused on a purpose, something bigger than you, you're in the FLOW, participating, co-creating a much richer experience for your Self and those lives you touch along the way (of which there are many).

There is just one life for each of us:
OUR OWN.

If you have been getting in-sync with your personal cycles and the current energy, harmonizing with nature more often, and vibrating at a new (and Higher) frequency, catching glimpses of your new reality, you are on the right track. Part of your covenant with the Universe, to be here at this time, is to usher in this new era. Your consciousness IS your contribution, how you use your energy at this time is setting the tone for generations to come. When you step out of "survival mode" even for a second, your perspective shifts and you see that you are participating at the dawn of a new age.

The beginning is the most delicate stage of evolution. You are likewise beginning anew (on one or many levels in your life). Choices made now are crucial to your long-term plan. Aquarius time is the perfect time to broaden the scope of your vision. Keep the 12 year cycle you just began in mind, what is the NEW STORY you want to tell (of your life)? If hindsight is 20/20, then what would you do differently NOW/TODAY to align your life and daily routine with your deepest heart's desire? For example, I've been using the moving metaphor lately because we have been "moving" in to a brand new, and long-term cycle.

It takes courage to grow up and
become who you truly are.

~ Say you had to move next month, what amenities would you look for that you did not think of when choosing the place you currently reside in?
~ In relationships, what would you choose differently if you were to start over at this time?
~ In career choices, how different would your career path be if you chose something you love and are passionate about versus what paid the most or had the most prestige, or worse, what someone else wanted you to do?

This is the time to apply these standard questions to the current *Time* and situation. How have you truly *moved* ... in consciousness and in reality? This is a prime opportunity to set new intentions for living your Truth & Purpose. The issues, people and circumstances that are leaving your life at this time are moving out in Divine Time. That is creating a vacuum for you to start fresh, with a clean slate. Choose wisely, be prepared to work hard but take time to recognize every blessing along the way. When you work from the heart, with passion and purpose, the angels pave the way!

The future has a way of ...
arriving UN-announced!

Capricorn-Aquarius 2010: Dec 21-Feb 1

2010-01-21T02:07:00.006-05:00

Capricorn/Aquarius 2010:

Dec 21 (Winter Solstice)

~thru~

Feb 1 (Cross Quarter/Candlemas)

*Winter* Solstice ~ initiates the Solar year and welcomes the Return of the Light. Things appear dormant on the surface, however, much life is developing beneath the surface ~ in preparation for Spring. Still a time of relative darkness and limited mobility, you are most supported for working behind the scenes, communing with other realms, honoring darkness and silence and receiving information, nourishment and replenishment with a clear intention of strengthening for soon-to-come action and forward movement.

Next Season is a little more 'mental' but this Sacred Season is about what you *feel* on the deepest levels and creating space to move from that Center within ... out in to the world to be a useful and dynamic participant in Life. This is the time of year to set your intentions for what you want to create, within your own Being and out in the world through good works. It's time to strategize about the future, while building on what is solid and worthy. It's time to take the past year's 'fruits of your labor' and put them to good use. It's time to get serious and practical about what you want and create a plan for success.

Marriage of Earth & Sky . . .
We are the "Spirit Children" of this Sacred Union!
Birthing Dreams: (Excerpt from Molly Hall of Astrology.About.com)
"The longest night is a fruitful time for setting intentions,
to be birthed with the newborn Sun. What you conceive now
can grow with the Sun, and gain momentum in Spring.
You might start a tradition of setting Winter Solstice intentions,
and in one year, see how many have come into being.
Put them in a special tin or box that has meaning for you.
The dark before the dawn, just like New Moons,
can be a powerful moment of magic, drawing in
what you'd like to see happen in the new year."

During this Sacred Season, the Sun makes the journey through ALL Capricorn and the first half of Aquarius. After Sag helps you anchor a new Truth/Story for the new year, Capricorn time comes along to anchor that Truth in the 3-D. This energy brings the Annual Reality Check: Do your inner and outer lives *match*? What's working? What's not? about your current reality. Capricorn is all about your inner authority to run your own life and will test your capacity to do so through various means. If you are being responsible for your own imprint on the planet, owning that your energy, thoughts, words and deeds are creating your reality (internal & external) and being honest with your Self, then you should be ready, willing and able to release the aspects of your structure and foundation which are worn out and require an infusion of new energy ... consider this your annual "upgrade". What will you build in 2010? What will you anchor? And how will your life become more structurally sound, richer and more meaningful?

2009 is officially over, 2010 has official begun ~ Winter Solstice is the *INITIATION*. If you cleared and released last year, then you are ready to begin building this new year. Because 2010 initiates with Mars (12/20) and Mercury (12/26) backwards, with Saturn closely following (1/13), you may feel a little limited or restricted. Release that! That is not the point of this energy. The point is that you are in completely new territory and you must take your time and process (Mercury Retro) the information presenting itself, you must review past actions (Mars Retro) to determine what will work here and now, and you must complete whatever you've started before you can expand on your plans (Saturn Retro). These three indicate that 2010 must be navigated with careful, practical thought, in connection with measured, heart-centered action so you can complete your individual healing (Saturn in Virgo) in preparation for creating solid relationships and community going forward mid-year (Saturn in Libra).

~ Power ~ Balance/Compromise ~ Options/Advantages ~ Opportunity to Grow ~ Blessings ~ ... are all available for us!

~ Power ~ (Conjunct/Conjunction)

The final connection (of 3) between Jupiter (Truth/Story) and Neptune (Vision/Unity Consciousness) happens on Winter Solstice, amplifying the power of renewal. The first one was in May, then July and now finally, in Dec. Reflecting on the previous contacts will give you an idea of how to proceed. There is always a *catalyst* (the first contact) then a *review* (pull back to go forward) and finally, fortified with healing and new information, *forward* movement. For those who have been consciously working on their healing processes for the last 10-12 years, the Healing Trinity is really solidifying all that work and rewarding all that dedication by fusing the fragments of your Soul, strengthening you for the next leg of your journey. For those who've avoided or suppressed their own true nature, ignored open or festering wounds (for whatever reason), the Healing Trinity has activated a process you can and should co-create with or it will be decidedly more lengthy and painful. Either way, while these three celestial bodies (Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron) separate (slowly), you still have access to unprecedented healing for another year or two and now is the best time to set your intentions.

12/21 ~ Jupiter/Neptune ~ Aquarius ~ ALL Air

The Sun has its annual cycle through the zodiac, however, Pluto is only in a sign for 10-20 years at a time and takes 248+ years to cycle through the zodiac. Pluto is the Purifier and the Sun represents your core essential Self. Every year they get together and clear out more of the deep, karmic debris within each individual, as well as the collective. Reflect on how your belief system was deeply altered and/or integrated over the years of 1995-2008 as Pluto moved through Sagittarius. Now that you're clear on what you believe to be "true", the shift of Pluto in to Capricorn initiates a new 16-year process of healing and purification. Those with Capricorn as their Sun Sign will get the biggest infusion over this cycle, but certainly everyone's Cancer/Capricorn Planets and Houses will be stimulated to transform and move to a new level of expression. Collectively, it is time to be responsible (Capricorn) for Self (Sun), own your innate power (Pluto) and direct it with more conscious awareness. With this combination, you can completely transcend your old Identity and step clean and fully in to a new one.

This energy extends to your thinking (Mercury) and your values (Venus), which are also being transformed as your Identity shifts. This is the year you will feel the urge to develop a whole new system for living that reflects your love for the planet, self-respect and concern for all *LIFE*. Because we are still talking Capricorn (responsibility) an Earth Sign, the energy is pushing you to make some physical, tangible moves. It's modality is Cardinal, which is the Initiator ~ it gets you moving, gets projects started and generally keeps things flowing. It's time to walk your talk on one or more levels. Keep in mind too that as you shift internally this dramatically, and since Pluto represents the *deepest* and most permanent transformation, it will affect those primary relationships and interactions near and dear to you (home, work, family, friends, relationships, partnerships and collaborations).

~ Balance & Compromise ~ (Oppose/Opposition)

As the Season progresses, and Sun/Venus move in to Aquarius, the energy will lighten up (from heavy Earth to lighter Air energy). You may want to infuse the renewed structure with your own unique *flava* ... which is developing behind the scenes with the on-going Mars Retrograde in Leo exactly opposite Sun (identity/core self) and Venus (values/priorities) in fiery, passionate, playful, fun-loving Leo. You may not be able to act on it just yet, but the Retrograde is extremely useful for reconnecting with your *Heart* and ultimately the innate *Courage* to love and BE your Authentic Self. This is a prime and potent opportunity to fully integrate your heart's desire with your unique gifts and talents, your ability to be passionate about community affairs and activate your inner flame of creativity. It's time to work from heart-center and co-create alternative solutions to how you're living. This balancing and integration will help you anchor your new priorities and balance your Masculine/Feminine dynamic within, as well as how you apply them to forward your goals and dreams. Watch the extremes to be too aggressive versus too passive. It's time to own who you are, what you want and develop a new system for going forward in this new space and time.

Venus/Sun in Aquarius / Mars Retro in Leo ~ Air/Fire

~ Options & Adavantages ~ (Sextile)

As the Sun (identity) and Venus (values/priorities) move through the last degrees of Sagittarius, engaging the power of the Galactic Center, and proceeding to activate the Healing Trinity in Aquarius, the fiery Truth creates an opportunity for the community or broader purpose to further expand. The lessons of Truth and Detachment will help you activate your imagination to create opportunities out of your current reality, no matter the appearances. Then as Sun/Venus immediately move in to Capricorn, assuming responsibility for Self and how you affect your world, they will connect with Uranus, the planet of true freedom. So it is safe to say that if you can accept responsibility, direct your power with care and consciousness, then freedom is yours by your own definition. How juicy!

12/20 ~ Venus/Jupiter
12/21 ~ Venus/Neptune

~ Opportunity to Grow ~ (Square)

As the Sun and Venus move through Capricorn, they are going to square off with Saturn in Libra who is already squaring off with Pluto. So again, because squares push us out of our comfort zones and in to new territory, you may as well co-create on whatever level you can at this time. As you begin to recognize more ways that your inner and outer lives do not match, this energy will give you the strength, courage and stamina to make the necessary, if major, corrections. With the added energy of the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses, change is inevitable, so go with it and consciously address that which you deeply desire to change about your Self, your relationships and your environment. Use the frictional energy these aspects bring to break free of old paradigms which no longer reflect the real YOU. Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE IN & DON'T GIVE UP!! Navigating this time and processing these activations consciously will be duly rewarded. If you know, love and respect your Self, then you will want to cultivate strong relationships that reciprocate that love and respect. It won't be easy, but it will get done, so you may as well participate on whatever levels you are able. This whole year will reveal how well you maintain integrity and cultivate community, then a strong individual and a solid team of support will carry you through the next few years of truly radical new beginnings. This year is pivotal!! Don't waste even a second on looking backwards or petty distractions.

Sun/Venus in Capricorn / Saturn in Libra ~ Earth/Air
12/25 ~ Sun/Saturn
12/29 ~ Venus/Saturn

Anytime planets change sign or change direction, they slow down and gather strength, while beaming intense energy down to Mother Earth. Saturn has been in Virgo for the last 2+ years, restructuring your systems and healing your foundations in many ways, essentially preparing you for this shift in to Libra when you will be called to work with your family, friends and communities in new and different ways. On one hand, Saturn in Libra is going to reveal weaknesses in the structures of your primary relationships, so any that are falling apart already are likely to break down altogether. This is not a bad thing. This is a good thing because it will force all parties involved to *define their terms* with more clarity, allowing for deeper commitment. (This is a perfect time to renegotiate contracts of all kinds, starting with your Soul Contract.) Pluto in Saturn's sign suggests that *responsibility* rules the day no matter how you slice it. It is time to be responsible for what you build in your life and in the world. Pluto, ruler of death, rebirth and transformation, never destroys anything you truly need, desire or deserve. It's whole purpose is to strip you of the non-essential so you can connect with what IS *Essential*. This combo is very serious, but can also be seriously productive if channeled properly.

This is an ongoing activation to consciously work with for tangible results. Use this initiation stage to set your intentions about who you are and how you'd like to contribute to society in a meaningful way. Both of these planets will push you hard to develop their strengths and master their lessons, resistance is futile. It is much better to take stock of your relationships, of the work you do in the world, of balance and responsibility in your own life and see where/how improvements can be made. And then, most importantly, begin implementing whatever you can. You may not be able to do 'everything' but surely you can do 'something' ~ just start where you are, with what you've got. Conscious co-creation with this combo is the only way to lessen any stress or pain associated with the changes that are truly inevitable, so you may as well participate on whatever level you can at this time. Also, keep in mind that due to the path each planet takes, we will experience the peak of intensity during their exact contacts, but the vibe is on-going for the entire 3-years Saturn is in Libra, as Pluto continues its journey through Capricorn.

3rd (of 3) ~ Aug 21, 2010 ~ Pluto Retrograde/Saturn Direct

~ Blessings ~ (Trine)

As the Sun and Venus move through Aquarius, they will form a very easy aspect to Saturn in Libra, both being Air Signs. This will assist in helping you to periodically detach from the intensity of all the major shifts. It is important that you look within first, there you will need to assess how attached you are to any people, places or circumstances. If you can honor the Aquarian lesson of detachment and the Libran lesson of justice, then this blessing can be applied to creating win/win situations, both personally and professionally. It can also serve to help you make new friends, possibly with people you would not usually consider.

Sun/Venus in Aquarius ~ Saturn in Libra ~ ALL Air

Additional Thoughts:
2010 is about your Truth (Jupiter) ~ your purpose (Saturn) ~ and true transformation (Pluto). If you're still dealing with cleaning, clearing and releasing the past, don't feel 'late' to the party - you are right on time. But truly, 2010 is pretty much it ~ after this you may not only not recognize the world you're living in, but you won't recognize your own Being because you are a completely new person here and now than ever before. Bask in that ~ strengthen that Being ~ practice till you get a rhythm ~ you're closer than ever!

Questions to Contemplate: As you head in to the New Year, here are some things to seriously contemplate which will help you solidify the basic structure of the year. You will fill in the details as life unfolds ...

What did you RELEASE over the last 3mos
(since Fall Equinox / September 2009)?

(since Spring Equinox / March 2009)?
What did you INITIATE over the last 1yr
(since Winter Solstice / December 2008)?

CAPRICORN 2010: Handle Your Business

2010-01-13T00:55:00.015-05:00

Happy New Year! Can you feel it? We are definitely in *new* territory now! Think of when you just move in to a new place: you are exhausted & excited ~ you are hopeful & anxious ~ resources are probably low (energy and funds) ... and now, you are faced with *un-packing* and setting up *new* sacred space. We have just moved in to a new realm of existence and we must get "set up". Walk with me here ... you just moved, and you did a tremendous amount of purging as you packed and prepared to *move* ... as you unload your "stuff" in this new space, you realize there is more to be cleared, things don't work or fit the space and you release attachment to things you've held near & dear for some time ~ you *lighten* up and purge a little more before starting anew. Bask in this feeling for a moment. Lightness. Space. Room to Breathe. Then turn to meet the challenges and tasks of creating a whole new structure to your *LIFE*. You've moved and you must get to know your surroundings as well as those you share it with (community). You will get a rhythm soon enough. Welcome to Capricorn! Welcome to 2010!!

Capricorn brings the energy to handle your "business" (be it personal or professional). It is the time when you are most acutely aware of things that may not be fun or exciting but are fundamentally necessary to support your life. Responsibility. That's the "traditional" vibe. How about we breathe new life in to that by adding some renewed dedication to finding / creating / accessing / activating the passion and energy ~ to create a *new* structure and foundation, as well as cultivate *new* responses ~ your ability to respond to Life has evolved over time. 2010 ushers you in to the *new* but with Mercury and Mars Retrograde at the turn of the year, (and Saturn, Capricorn's ruler, soon follows 1/13) you are further guided that a deep reflective review is underway and must run its course before implementing new your ideas and taking new actions that support your essential needs and deepest desires. Mercury rules your ideas, thoughts, perceptions and your voice, while Mars rules your passions, actions, deepest desires (and means of attaining them), as well as how you deal with conflict and confrontation. The sign lessons point you toward responsible thoughts, words and deeds (Mercury in Capricorn) and deep, authentic self-love, courage and innate creativity (Leo). These things are what you are currently supported to re-define.

Capricorn gives structure to Cancer's flow, you have a chance to (re)define (Saturn) and connect with authentic emotional (Cancer) and material (Capricorn) security. These energies require you to access that which nourishes you (Cancer) on the deepest level so that you are fortified to make your unique contribution to society (Capricorn). *HOW* you navigate this time will be the key to success and completion. If Capricorns would engage positive Cancer (the Empath) and *feel* their way, their decisions would be more heart-based and confident. Use this time of year, every year, to be your own Architect of Life, design a new structure, play with ideas of the tangible and how it can come to be through your own imagination and efforts ... then follow directions and do things in stages of *building*, take your time so you can correct mistakes as they happen rather than have to re-do anything major and focus on stabilizing your foundation in a way that supports your own evolution and dreams.

After re-reading the above *Reflections*, I found re-reading the following article infinitely valuable in assessing how well I worked the energies throughout the year 2009. It also helped me see how the energies manifested in 3-D. Well worth it ~ reflect and then perhaps (in line with the Mercury Retro season) re-work your intentions for 2010 ~ tweak ~ clarify ~ visualize ~ prepare for future action.

2008 Capricorn ~ Reflections: How We Meet Our Fundamental Needs

2010-01-13T00:49:00.004-05:00

All Seeds Germinate in Darkness

"One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that was going on inside himself. He said, "My son, it is between two wolves ... One is evil: anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good: joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed." (from Aluna Joy Yaxkin / Click Here for Full Article)

As the above parable illustrates so beautifully, we always have a choice as to which part of our shadow and light nature we will feed in any given moment, and both are widely available at this time because we are at a crossroads. We are beginning a major, new chapter, individually and collectively. And the choices we make this year will set the tone for years to come, so be present as you choose each thought, each emotion, every word, every response and every action!

The power of "now" includes a potent connection to Source because we are in the void. All seeds germinate in the darkness and depending on what your "intent" is, will determine the "seeds" you plant and the quality of nourishment/care you give them to grow properly. Will you "grow" (create) more darkness or Light in your life? body? home? environment? community? planet?

Scientists claim that 95% of our Universe is invisible, unquantifiable and considered "dark matter", they don't fully understand its magnitude or power, they cannot define it, they cannot see or touch it, but they know it's there. They can detect a "force" - a "movement" - and an "energy" that clearly exists and affects the 5% of matter they can see, touch and define. This speaks volumes to the energy of creation. This says to me that 95% of the power to create is INVISIBLE! This is another way of saying that you create with intent, emotion and passion (all invisible) ... thought precedes physical manifestation ... imagination creates reality. If we are only accessing a minute percentage of our brains, are we also only accessing 5% of the Universe and all its power, magic and gifts? The point is, you are here, living and awake during a monumental time in our planet's history, what will you create during the time you are here and how will it have meaning for you?

Our thoughts are manifesting with lightening speed, sometimes before we've even been able to complete the thought, the Universe has revealed the results before our eyes. The choices you make this year are vital to which energies and ideas you will "feed" and manifest going forward. The mass consciousness is rooted in fear, which is where the powers that be would want them, docile, controlled and predictable. However, many are awakening from their deep slumbers and recognizing their personal truth and remembering what a short period of time we have here on this planet. We must maximize the time we have left being and doing what creates and maintains FLOW ... the flow of love, the flow of energy exchange, the flow of creative juices, the flow of abundance ... flow and reciprocity.

Planetarily, we are at this crossroads, truly things could go either way, so it is up to each powerful individual to "feed" the good ~ the Light within Self and others. Create the community you want to be a part of ~ by "being" what you want to attract. "Be the change you want to see in the world." (Ghandi) Inhale back your own authority, be responsible for who you are, how you feel and what you create in this world, visible and invisible. Be honest with your Self and check all aspects of your personal structure and foundation (for your life). What supports you when NOTHING & NO ONE else does? Are you going to continue on the path you are already on? or choose a new, uncharted path? I say, use the next quarter to review, then move forward when Saturn does in May.

2010 ~ Happy New Year! I am so excited about this new year and all the opportunities indicated by the planetary alignments. In each coming year, we are being led to a new level ... of existence and consciousness. There is nothing to fear but apathy and indecision. I highly recommend taking some time to set some priorities and goals because we are in for fast-paced and magical times. The year initiates with Mercury and Mars Retrograde indicating that our ideas and actions are under review as we launch 2010. And before Mercury goes Direct, Saturn will join them (1/13) so your definition of reality will be revised over the next several months and Jupiter enters Pisces completing a 12-year journey through the zodiac. Consider the next 1-year process to be the *womb* of development of a *new* 12-year Truth/Story, personally and collectively. Because who you are and what you want has changed, your 3-D reality naturally follows so the overall theme this year is to re-structure on many levels ~ in preparation for future forward movement.

This time 1 year ago ... reflect on the "before and after" of 2009! Very poignant!

[Previously ~ 2009 (w. minor edits)]
There is what's called a "Mystical Rectangle", which is a huge *kiss* from the Universe, setting us on this new path and supporting the restructuring we all must do, in such a beautiful way. The Super / Full Moon in Cancer and Sun, still in Capricorn, criss-cross Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces, which is on-going for two years (2008-2010) so we will end up with *several kisses* over 2009 & 2010 (and beyond). The Sun/Moon dynamic is balancing and integrating your inner and outer / private and public selves so they can begin to "match" better (though you may still be at the delicate initiatory stages). The Saturn/Uranus dynamic is balancing and integrating your reality and your consciousness, your physical and spiritual, your body and mind, and the new foundation that will better support you living a more awakened, liberated life that reflects your current Truth & Purpose.

2009: Initiation ~ Release ~ in Preparation For ... the Eternal *NOW*

With so many key and pivotal events this year, I will be doing the one *FREE* Tele-Class each month to cover the biggest aspects and cycles affecting the collective, while writing more articles on the other dynamic energies kicking this year, which are just as relevant but more on an individual level. This first quarter is vital. January thru April are preparing you for a magical and potently creative and healing time come May, June & July is when Jupiter can bring expanded consciousness in the realm of Light, love and the community, as well as Jupiter's signature luck, abundance and expansion. This quarter, make sure you release that which you do not want 'expanded' and made bigger.

JANUARY 2009
Jupiter Enters Aquarius ~ is going to stir things up for sure! Jupiter expands anything it touches, and this year it will be shining its gigantic light on Aquarian issues: humanitarian issues, the community, unconventional solutions, radical theories, objective broad overviews, expanded visions, and individual contributions that make the collective *whole* work better. Keep in mind that it takes Jupiter 12 years to move throughout the zodiac, so this is our chance to expand our individual and collective realms to be more inclusive of all souls, honoring all belief systems as Truth in their own right, and detachment from moral judgments made about things we, perhaps, don't entirely understand.

FEBRUARY 2009
Saturn Oppose Uranus (2 of 5) ~ This is a Collective Activation that will *ping* us 5 times over a 2-year period (2009-2010) and it made me think of the "5-Act Structure" of a theatrical performance. There are many breakdowns and descriptions of the 5-Act Structure ... here's the "Kelly version":

ACT 1 ~ Introduction to the players and establishment of points and possibilities, as well as the time & place
~ Astrologically: INITIATION
~ Nov 4, 2008
ACT 2 ~ Events accelerate, momentum builds, complications and complexities are revealed
~ Astrologically: TEST of what you've learned so far
~ Feb 5, 2009
ACT 3 ~ Climax of action, choices, critical mass & crossroads
~ Astrologically: INTEGRATION, assessment and compromise
~ Sept 15, 2009
ACT 4 ~ Descent, fear (false evidence appearing real), test of faith and reversal of fortunes
~ Astrologically: TEST of the quality of integration
~ Apr 16, 2010
ACT 5 ~ Resolution, transmutation and awakening to a new level of understanding
~ Astrologically: COMPLETION ... in preparation for initiation of a new kind
~ July 26, 2010 / Aries-Libra Axis

MARCH 2009
Venus Retrograde ~ is a blessing that comes approximately every year and a half. We are also amidst an 8-year Venus / Sun Cycle that only happens every 100-200 years, the last being 1882. This year you get to truly RE-Invent Your Self with Venus spending over 4-months in Aries, the sign that rules your Identity and the Infant on the Karmic Wheel. Definitely tune in to Venus through Pisces this year (JAN 3 - FEB 2), as that will feel most certainly like a cosmic womb preparing you to embark on a brand *NEW* leg of your personal, and our collective, journey.

Spring Equinox w. Leilah ~ The four (of eight) Sacred Seasons this year will bring a beautiful collaboration of Kelly's planetary dance and Leilah's celestial guided tour when we can *ALL* connect in the other realms, cultivating peace and harmony to bring back to the 3rd Dimension and share. We love when you are physically with us, and will be planning the events in Florida and Upstate New York. However, you can *ALWAYS* join us energetically and know we hold you in the Light and in every Circle with us.

INAUGURAL *MOJO*
And finally, as we approach the US inauguration of Barack Obama, to also encourage you to visualize this transition to include Capricorn's solid, responsible and cool energy, infused for about 60 hours prior to the election with potent Scorpio energy, shape-shifting us (individually and collectively) to own and honor Truth as Authority, rather than authority as truth. It is also good to acknowledge here that Ceres, Mercury and Saturn will be retrograde for inauguration suggesting the *PERFECT TIME* to re-vision your life and this country's administration (USA). Ceres in Virgo will assist in cultivating a healing that begins in each heart and expands to all living souls. Mercury in Aquarius will assist with re-thinking our collective definitions of family and community, leading us to a unique resolution that honors the Highest Good for all involved. And Saturn in Virgo, of course, will assist with healing the various systems and re-structuring all the major entities which support community life (government, health care, education etc). Whether you agree with Obama's politics or not, we must send him all the prayers, strength and good energy with rock-solid trust in the Universe to guide and direct his choices, knowing he is only the channel, the face on 'change' ~ he is NOT the Source.

SAGITTARIUS: Infinite Possibilities!

2009-12-15T00:43:00.007-05:00

~ SAGITTARIUS ~

Expansion Requires Conscientiousness
~ GEMINI ~

Information Requires Wisdom

This month is the ONLY 20-day period of the entire year 2009 when ALL the planets are moving in forward motion, which means NO HOLDING BACK! Dec 1 - 20, with special attention to this week of the Sag New Moon (12/16) which completely supports planting the seeds of your *NEW* Truth / *NEW* Story. This is a small window of opportunity to hold your own counsel, tune in to the cosmos and your Higher Self and come up with a new and improved vision for your life. I suggest you use the holiday season to give your Self the GIFT of *TIME* to reflect and plan. You are standing on this side of a bridge, about to crossover to completely new, and as yet, unknown territory which deserves more than a fleeting thought.

Sagittarius requires us to take a moment to make meaning out of all the information we have gathered over the last 6-months - 12-years. Last month, the Scorpio energy brought some very real, deeply buried issues to the surface and further revealed what is truly ending, complete and finished, in your life. This time period in history is the reason for this "end-of-an-era-energy". We really are ending some HUGE cycles, personally and globally, and beginning completely NEW ones. There is no more postponing, putting on the back-burner, avoiding, burying, or sweeping under the rug - really, there is no more rug - no more cover! Not to totally negate free will and choice, you must remember that you can run but you can't hide (from Self) so you can "choose" to postpone ... or face things once and for all and move freely, LIGHTER, to the next level. It is time to subjugate your ego to that of higher, Divine Will.

If you find that things are dis-integrating in your life, keep in mind that some things have to "break" to realign, to heal correctly and re-integrate stronger. Many people are experiencing career change, relationships ending, income streams shifting, health issues popping up (or getting worse), please know that it truly is Divine Order. You are changing, growing, evolving, and when YOU change - everyone (and everything) else around you must shift too (or go away, even temporarily). These are "growing pains" or "labor pains" you are feeling and while they may seem unbearable in the moment, it is not a permanent condition. You are in the VOID - between the old and the new - where you have to focus - you have to breathe - and be present, keeping in mind the most optimistic possible outcome because if you give in to the fear, you only create more pain and more challenges.

Sagittarius time is the time in between the end (of the old) and the beginning (of the new), in between the invisible (Scorpio) and the visible (Capricorn) energies, where the possibilities are only limited by your imagination and ability to believe in your Self and the Universe (faith). (Later this month we move in to Capricorn where we begin to make the vision tangible and the physical work begins.) Sag asks everyone to reconsider their definition of Truth, Faith and Purpose. We are being presented with a tremendous OPPORTUNITY (Jupiter) the whole month of December. One month is scant time to free your mind of limitations, detach from appearances and focus ONLY on the Highest possible outcomes you can imagine (to any issue / problem / goal / objective). There are some powerful planetary shifts which are opening gateways to energy allowing us to readily connect to the Infinite Source of all creation. Take advantage of this time!!

We don't know where we're going ...
but we're on our way!

When I heard the above quote, I thought it perfectly illustrates where we are individually as well as collectively! Ready or not, the door to the past is closing and the door to the future is beckoning as you move in to the new energy ... and somehow in the void and through all the chaos, opportunity continues to blossom between the cracks in the structures which are crumbling around us.

Deep in the core of my being I feel that we are being moved in to position ~ in to a position where we can fulfill our individual and collective potential. Everyone is at different stages of this evolution ... some of you are going through some kind of purging of the old/past, some of you are just stepping in to your *new* self and learning how to walk and talk all over again, and some great souls are way ahead of most and you already have a foundation upon which you can now expand more fully in to your authentic truth and purpose. It is ALL Divine no matter what stage you are in. And there are no shortcuts to the next level. You have to get okay with where you are and what you've got before you can truly transcend it.

Of all the years, I strongly encourage everyone this year to take time out this season to reflect on who you are, where you are and what you deeply desire for your life, and further, your community and planet.

Rather than continuing to spend your precious resources on trying to save what is dying or revive what is dead, rather than using the old methods to save an old paradigm - old truth - old structure, you are better served and your resources better spent on creating a *NEW* paradigm ~ *NEW* truth ~ and *NEW* structure that can and will accommodate the *NEW* ENERGY! (The old paradigms & structures cannot sustain the new energy & activations.)

I have said for some time now, that we need to find a "new way to do the same old things" - eat / pay bills / work / contribute to society in some way. However, as each year ticks by ~ deeper layers of the truth of this are revealed. The "new way" is likely to feel very foreign initially ... that is because it IS! Get okay with it ~ get present to the adventure of it and savor each day as the tasty dessert with a surprise in the middle. (Hopefully you are getting what you "ordered"! *wink*)

If you are accessing your new rhythm and trying to find "your (new) way", it is said to court the Goddess of Wisdom (Pallas Athene) rather than the Goddess of Wealth (Lakshmi). While both powerful and useful in their own right, ultimately, wisdom allows you to create whatever you can imagine and the Goddess of Wealth will then, court YOU!

Creating from the soul *IS* the foundation of the "new" way as the old methods no longer work. Sharing your unique gift with the community and serving a purpose is guaranteed to succeed. So I guess it comes down to is: "what can you contribute"? and "what is your definition of success?" and is that 'definition' congruent with your words, thoughts and deeds?

Mars Retrograde in LEO ~ 2009-2010
Replenish Your Energy &

Redefine Your Heart's Desire

Mars in Leo: Oct 16, 2009 ~ June 7, 2010
Mars Retrograde ~ Dec 20, 2009
Mars Direct ~ Mar 10, 2010

Mars, The Personal Planets & The Process
*Moon is Excluded
Sun (your identity) ~ Mercury (your voice) ~ Venus (your values) ~ Mars (your desires) all work together and move through each sign for 1-2 months at a time, developing *YOU* as they go. The Sign energies represent the lessons the Planets are trying to teach as the activate, stimulate and animate each Sign. Normally, they follow this pattern ... until they Retrograde, which extends and expands the lesson. Leo is the lesson of Self-Love and Accepting Love from Others ~ learning how to be your authentic Self and to operate from heart-center in all you do. In order to fully develop that capability, the Universe has so lovingly provided the various cycles to assist you in this process.

Leo is a Fire Sign, so it does well and brings opportunities and blessings when interacting with Air or Fire. It brings growth and development when interacting with Earth or Water. This current Mars process initiated on Oct 16, 2009 when it entered the Sign of Leo. Sun, Mercury and Venus were in Libra indicating that this whole process is an *opportunity* to re-balance in some vital way. It's very last contact (of this particular cycle) will be a major activation, opposing Neptune in Aquarius, indicating that the ultimate purpose of this process is to balance and integrate your authentic Being, re-connect you (or strengthen that connection) to your inner power and ability to express love (Mars in Leo) ... within the context of the collective dream of consciousness, innovation and freedom (Neptune in Aquarius) on June 4, 2010.

Growth & Development
In between, you will be challenged to grow when Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Scorpio/Water (Oct/Nov 2009) and Taurus/Earth (Apr/May 2010). Those challenges will strengthen your connection to your personal Truth and power to create life (Scorpio) and cultivate beauty and sustenance (Taurus) through your own expression of love and light.

Gifts & Blessings
When Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Sagittarius/Fire (Nov/Dec 2009) and Aries/Fire (Mar/Apr 2010), you will be able to cultivate your own Truth and belief system (Sag) and true independence (Aries) based on a deep self-respect and renewed self-worth. These can/will be extremely creative times when you can re-connect with your heart's eternal flame, a Source of light and love for you and all you touch.

Balance & Integration
When Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Aquarius/Air (Jan/Feb 2010), this will be the most poignant process as this is primarily the Mars Retrograde period, indicating this is the most important part of the review. The other activations *Initiate* and *Complete* this process ~ but this will be the core, essential lesson of all. Ultimately, the Healing Trinity (Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius) has prepared you for this moment. Original wounds (Chiron) should be on the mend and your faith (Jupiter) somewhat restored and now, Mars Retrograde will help you replenish your energy stores and redefine your desires so you can create a greater vision (Neptune) for your life.

Mars Cycle
Mars usually takes about 2 months in a sign, taking it 2 years to make it through the zodiac. So on a personal level, every 2 years, you can expect a new cycle to *Initiate* where your energy, passion and desires (Mars) are concerned. On a collective level, we look to the Retrograde for that *reset button* to be pushed, where your outer life, and its direction, shifts in terms of energy and action. This year Mars Retrogrades (Dec 20, 2009) and goes Direct (Mar 10, 2010) in ALL Leo. To give you a frame of reference, the last time Mars came close was when it Retrograded in January 1995 in Virgo, and went Direct in Leo in March 1995 (same Virgo/Leo combo happened in 1980; 1977 was Leo/Cancer). However, the last time it was truly similar to *now* ~ ALL Leo ~ was December 1962 - March 1963. Again, we have the 1960's re-activated *now*. Think of the issues that got people all fired up and passionate back then, things that spurred them to action, some effective, some destructive, but undeniable moves were made and people were operating from a deep sense of heart-felt passion about their ideas and views.

Mars Retrograde in LEO ~ Past & Future
Another note on the timeliness of Mars Retrograde in LEO and what's to come. This period in history is so intense and brilliant! Marinate this: what-all happened in 1962-1963 that prepared you for the vibration which occurred when it was the Leo/Cancer Retrograde of 1977? That frame of reference will also help you with navigating *now*. The next time Mars will Retrograde in Leo/Cancer (like 1977) it will be 2024-2025 ... right as Pluto wraps up its 16-year journey through Capricorn, then does a little back-and-forth with its own Retrograde through Capricorn/Aquarius. This will put Mars (lower will) in direct OPPOSITION to Pluto (Higher Will) for several months during that time (2024-2025). That is HUGE!! We get little Mars Oppose Pluto activations periodically, but that one will be extremely significant for the collective and how we navigate *now* (and the next 15 years) where our authentic *power* is concerned will determine the outcome of this major once-in-a-lifetime cycle.
*I realize you may feel that is too far in the future to consider, but think of how fast the LAST 10-15 years have zipped by and take in to consideration that part of that is the fact that time, as we perceive it, is really speeding up. I myself, think we should take things a year or two at a time, but a periodical glance ahead doesn't hurt. Keep in mind, everything is leading to the next thing and consider these smaller cycles as building blocks of the larger cycles ... especially if you are creating a greater vision of your life and desire to contribute to the collective, your unique *piece* of the whole.

Mars
Most people know Mars for its mythology as the God of War, anger and aggression, being head-strong (Aries), diabolical (Scorpio) and always trying to get what it *wants* (sometimes, by any means necessary and without thought of possible danger to themselves or harm to others). I'm going to suggest we use this energy as *rage-to-outrage*. Rage is destructive and paralyzing, it holds you hostage and does damage to all involved, whereas, Outrage is productive, mobilizing and a much more effective use of the same energy. Not to mention, Mars is so much more! You are capable of expressing so much more! Mars represents what motivates you to action, what gets you fired up and how you use your vital life force energy to produce results in your life. It can make you cranky (within) and abusive (without) if you are not channeling that energy properly or suppressing your desires altogether.

Mars is the motivating force within you that pushes you to do anything in the world. It's your personal will and connection to power on a mundane level, and most of all, it's the part of you that needs something to *DO*. "Idle time is the devil's workshop" is never truer than a Mars with no purpose or direction. To accomplish anything, you must first have the desire, then the energy and ultimately, the action you take dictates the results you'll receive. Humans need a reason to get up and move every day, which is inspired by *desire* ... the desire to be, do, have ~ the passion to play, create, cavort ~ the vitality to ignite, spark, initiate *LIFE*! Repression and suppression of this natural instinct causes toxic explosions, and rightly so.

Mars in LEO
Mars in Leo is a beautiful gift, for those born with it, as well as the rest of us now being affected for several months as this planet animates these lessons and gifts (and activates that area of your personal chart). This is a prompting from the Universe to focus in this area. The fact that it is moving through this lesson (introduction), then pulling back, indicates a necessity to review ~ revise ~ go back over this territory ~ there is something you may have missed the first time ... then on the 3rd and final pass, forward movement resumed, you have additional information and clarity with which to consciously decide how you really want to express this Divine energy.

Any Retrograde supports a change in direction of the energy. Suggestions for Retrograde ~ ALL *RE* Words Apply ... Review ~ Refresh ~ Renewal ~ Revitalize ~ Reinforce ~ Reevaluate ~ Rejuvenate ~ Replenish ~ Redeem ~ Revision ~ Reverse ~ Rebuild ~ Rearrange ~ Repair ~ Rediscover ~ Redirect

Mars Retrograde in LEO
Retrogrades are never a time to *Initiate* but rather a time to *Review / Reflect* and prepare for future forward movement. This is a time, certainly December 2009 - March 2010, to pull back, don't force issues that are not working and do not force your will or initiate confrontations as they are not likely to turn out in your favor. This is a time to reflect on how you use your own energy to get things done in your life. Are those ways serving you or holding you back? Because Leo is the lesson of Self-Love, this particular season is about if / when / how you actively (Mars) love your Self (Leo) and how you relate to your own heart's deepest desires. Do you feel worthy of the things you dream of? Do you feel like what you really want is even possible? What motivates you to action on your own behalf ~ fear or love? This is a time when less conscious souls will not be able to control their anger with the seeming injustices, blockages and delays to getting their way. They will demonstrate their frustration by exploding with infantile rage (tantrums/fits), selfishness (lower will) and groundless pride (ego).

Don't get me wrong, we all have 'good days' and 'bad days' when we may *initially* feel all of the above, however, a conscious and awake soul will catch it ~ in that very same moment ~ and take back their power to *choose* a mindful response rather than allow their ego to ignite the explosive emotional reaction. If you are faced with power struggles, control issues, ego mania and/or outright hostility, you have to pull back and ask your Self, what within you, feels this out of control? or unworthy of respect and common courtesy? or in need of an anger-management lesson yourself? Here are some suggestions for a better use of this energy and cycle.

Check Your Personal Motivations ~ what motivates you to act on your desires? what excites you? what gets you fired up? It has likely changed in the last 2 years. And if you're old enough to remember, with clarity, this energy and cycle from 1995 or 1980 or 1977 or 1962-63 when the lesson of how you love your Self and use your energy to express your authentic nature came up, then I ask you now: what do you want to do differently *this* time? How can you use the gifts and strengths you've cultivated over the years ~ with an eye on the mistakes made and challenges encountered ~ to choose differently *this* time?

Check Your Personal Desires ~ you may not even *want* the same things you wanted 2 years ago. Many people function on "auto pilot", or worse, in "survival mode", moving through life without consciously thinking or choosing their next move. That is a dangerous way to operate when we've clearly moved into new and unknown territory. This is an incredible time of transition from an old era to a new era ~ from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age. The planets are the least of the many, many indicators signifying this shift of the ages. The same old modes of operating will not work and could even be potentially dangerous. It is imperative that you know who you are and what you truly want. Then you must act intuitively in this new realm, engaging your *heart* to make the final decisions.

Check Your Personal Energy ~ how do you use the energy you have to get what you want? Is it effective or destructive? How do you replenish your energy when it is low? How do you manage and direct your energy when it is high? What are you attracting from others (known and unknown people)? Count the blessings and acknowledge the challenges, take back your power to express your energy differently (as needed).

Perfect Your Action Steps & Responses ~ Mars Retrograde is the best time to review how your actions have helped or hurt your progress. Review ~ Reflect ~ Plan ~ Strategize ~ and ultimately, prepare for *new* action steps AND responses upon forward movement. What actions have helped (or hindered) you in the last 2 years? How / when / where can you choose differently going forward?

Step In to Personal Authentic Power ~ it is time for you to be responsible for the power you do have to direct your own life. Your personal power supports you and is vital to accomplishing the goals you set in life. Any power you rely on *outside* of Self is IN-authentic, temporary and likely toxic. Personal power begins with knowing who you are and what you want ~ clarity is a beautiful thing. When these things are in place, you know that everything is your *choice* and you are never a victim. You remember in every moment that you are connected to Source which supports only the true, authentic Being you are (everything else is ego ~ Edging God Out).

Choose a Cause of the Heart ~ Because Leo is Self-Love, I say, start there! Many people go through life serving and helping others, which in and of itself is admirable and part of why we're here, but it is not the only reason we are here. If you are giving away all your love and energy to others to the detriment and expense of your own vital life force and NOT replenishing, receiving or allowing it to be reciprocated in even flow, then eventually you will tap-out (then you're no good for anyone). If you are good at balance and reciprocity, then *expand* and share that love and vital energy. Find something to dedicate your energy to that *feels* good to your HEART! Very often, whatever you are drawn to *give* automatically feeds you in return.

Define & Establish Healthy Boundaries ~ this goes for your Self and others. For your Self, you must know and love your Self enough to develop clarity on what you can/will and can't/won't do. I remind you not to think of it as "selfish" but "self-preservation". You are in charge of YOU! When you honor your Truth, when you express your needs and desires with honesty, others will automatically respect the boundaries you have set.

Respond vs. React ~ Creative responses will yield much better results than prideful, emotional reactions, now and always. But particularly at this time, when Mars Retrogrades, we can all get a little frustrated when things are not working as we envision. Again, those with an expanded repertoire of response and vital imaginations will get to flex their muscle during this period. Those stuck in ego, terrible-two's-I-want-my-way-NOW mode will be frustrated (others) and draining to be around (you). Understand that when the planet of "action" pulls back, so too will "action" slow in the mainstream, 3-D world. Fighting it is futile but everyone will get through it in the way that is most useful to their level of Soul work. Mars movement, in either direction, is always revealing! Unconscious or unrecognized anger, pride, ego and childishness will be brought in to the light for review and release. Keep in mind that every *disruption* of the energy is an opportunity for clarity (for all involved).

Love as a Verb ~ This is the best time to rededicate your energy to actively loving your Self: body, mind and Spirit. Treat your Self like a cherished child, with love, respect, nourishment and protection. Create space to play and discover. Exercise, rest, eat living foods and drink plenty of water. Take time to read or do a puzzle (solo play) and/or make a play-date with a few special friends, spend time in nature, at a park, on the swings, at the ocean's edge. Write poetry, short stories or journal. Anything artistic, any kind of expression of creativity will strengthen your heart connection and remind you that you are *ALIVE*!

Blessings of Mars in LEO
Once you've had a chance to delve in to your own process, renewed *clarity* about who you are and what you want will inspire you, upon forward motion. You will recognize how compassion, forethought and patience enable you to dialogue rather than duel. You will learn or cultivate your own way of being direct and asserting yourself because of the renewed courage to *BE* your authentic Self in all instances. With practice, this becomes effortless and automatic. Ultimately, this 9-month gestation period will develop congruency within and without, birthing a completely *new* Being who is true to themselves and their heart's desire, radiating Love & Light to ALL! How delicious!!

Mercury Retrograde in CAPRICORN

2009-12-12T21:15:00.003-05:00

Mercury Retrograde in *CAPRICORN*

Redesign Your Blueprint for Success

Mercury in Capricorn: Dec 5, 2009 ~ Feb 10, 2010

Mercury Retrograde ~ Dec 26, 2009

Mercury Direct ~ Jan 15, 2010

You get a chance a few times a year to check in with Mercury and see if YOUR systems are all communicating properly. This should be welcomed not resisted. This is a good time to review and revise your goals, go back over all that you've attempted and see if there is anything you missed initially. This is a good time to reflect on how you would LIKE to express your Highest Self; how you communicate with your Self and others; what you are a "voice" for. It is good to back up all computers and do regular maintenance on your car for good measure and consider the down-time, a "back up" of your internal computer.

Mercury generally goes Retrograde *3* times a year, for about 3-weeks at a time. Periodically, like 2009, a 4th one will occur and straddle the year-end. Most often, it involves two elements. For example, all of 2009, Mercury went backward in Air Signs and Direct in Earth Signs. This is an indication that the initial review has to do with your ideas, concepts, thought processes and perceptions. Once that review is done, and forward movement is resumed, you can express and anchor them in some tangible way, in the 3-D, Earth realm. Most of the time, two Elements are involved, but every couple of years, an entire year of Mercury Retrogrades will be in ONE Element, like 2010. The last time it was ALL Earth was 2003 and the next time will be 2016.

How has your thinking grown and changed since 2003, in concrete, tangible ways? How would you like to develop and evolve by 2016?

Mercury in CAPRICORN ... is going to get you present to your personal 'Blueprint' of success. Definitions and Decisions are up for review this season. How do you define success? How are the details of the structure of your life holding things together for you (or not)? Mercury's rulership of the mind, thoughts and perceptions, in this placement will activate the part of your thinking that is (or can be) very grounded and practical. Your ideas are more ambitious and you're completely supported, especially during a Retrograde period, to (re)organize those thoughts. If you don't have a goal, or if your thinking is not serving you in some measurable, effective way, then depression can set in or you are capable of disconnecting emotionally as a defense mechanism. A more useful approach to that is acknowledge that you don't need to be emotional at this time, it does not serve you. Consider yourself the 'architect' of your own life, setting out to build a beautiful and substantial structure that will serve you and benefit others in the long term.

This is a time when 'actions speak louder than words' ~ so even though your mental body may be extremely active, it is also going to plant the seeds (or pressure you) to *DO* something tangible about the thoughts, ideas and concepts you are perceiving at this time. Review the last year for clues on how to be more efficient and effective, stay in the present moment (as best you can) and invite *clarity* of purpose. Plan ~ Strategize ~ Organize ~ Prepare ~ ALL behind the scenes, internally, privately, as Mercury pulls back. Commune with Nature for clues on how vital structures work together and support each other, then plan to emulate that upon forward movement, in the multi-dimensions of your own life. Complete any old projects that have been delayed (for whatever reason). Starting new things is not advised, but completing old ones is tremendously supported, especially anything that will strengthen your foundation if it were only done and out of the way.

Capricorn is all about responsibility and a broad overview, think: head of household. That individual (male or female) has to consider all involved, all issues as well as all possible solutions that ultimately must hold the greater good of the whole 'family' in mind when making choices and decisions. This is a time to see where you may have given away your inner authority to others, with expectations that were ultimately not met. Set some goals to *achieve* something tangible with your ideas in 2010 and use all the Retrograde periods to review your thoughts, words and deeds for *effectiveness*. Release those thoughts and ideas which no longer serve you, use the Retrograde periods (all year) to bless with gratitude and *release* once and for all. On an additional note, Mercury rules choices and decisions and Capricorn rules bones and teeth, which ironically, when having trouble have their root in "postponing decisions". Use this period to set the tone for the entire year (how you start is how you will finish) and re-commit to making the long overdue and vital decisions that, once made, will fortify you on the deepest level.

SCORPIO: Don't Mourn ... Celebrate!

2009-11-05T02:07:00.009-05:00

[NOTE: This article is a reprint from my Scorpio 2008 Lunar Reflections Newsletter. The above link will take you to the Taurus 2008 article that is also useful at this time. IN-Joy!]

I like thinking of possibilities.
At any time, an entirely new possibility
is liable to come along and spin you
off in an entirely new direction.
The trick, I've learned, is to
be awake to the moment.

SCORPIO: Power Requires Proper Values
TAURUS: Resources Require Creativity

Scorpio (Oct-Nov) is my favorite time of the year for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that we can simultaneously complete and initiate whole new aspects of our being. I have tracked it for years and it is by far the BEST time for consciously planting the seeds of your ideas that sprout by Taurus (April-May), which is only 6 months. When you think about it, that is not long at all to create a new experience or manifest a dream or express a newly discovered piece of your soul. In astrology, the so-called 'tough' angles may be hard to get through, however, they also propel us to the next level and open up new possibilities. *NOW* is no different. We are living at a pivotal time in Earth's history, and through some very challenging planetary alignments. However, this is a time to CELEBRATE the possibility that the seeds we plant collectively *NOW* ~ WILL blossom in Divine Time & Order.

It's not so much that we're afraid of change
or so in love with the old ways, but
it's that place in between that we fear.

We are at this "in-between" place, also referred to as the "Sweet Spot" - that very thin line between seed and new life, which breaks through that "Sweet Spot" and *IN* to new existence. This is a special time during this natural cycle to "contribute & co-create". This is the most potent time of the year, and Scorpio as ruled by Mars asks, "What do you deeply desire?" and as ruled by Scorpio, "What are you willing to sacrifice to have that desire fulfilled?" Are you willing to ... *SACRIFICE* ...

~ skepticism ... for critical thinking? ~
~ fear ... for love? ~
~ doubt ... for faith? ~
~ poverty consciousness ... for abundance? ~
~ groundless low self-esteem

... for knowing who you are? ~
~ false pride ... for true confidence? ~

Scorpio resides in 1-2 parts of your chart, and those are the areas of your life where you can sink to the depths and soar to the heights. It's where your power lies, and how you choose use your power is your responsibility, as well as your own free will and choice. In the meantime, how does ANYTHING come in to being? Life, whether a living organism who calls Earth home or a project/idea you've nurtured from concept to reality, requires both the visible and invisible to bring in to existence. There is the work you do to contribute to the healthy development of whatever you create (Scorpio is the energy of creation) and then you have to step back and ALLOW SPIRIT to breathe life force in to it. Whether creating another human, or an expression of your soul, you are ALWAYS A CO-CREATOR in the process, you are a very necessary part of the equation, but you are not the SOURCE. The void is where the unseen action is, seeds germinate in the darkness, away from prying eyes and meddling. Whatever you create, whether within you or around you, is your responsibility to protect (your creation). I personally like the custom of waiting 3 months in to a pregnancy before announcing it to family and friends, I think it should be applied across the board.

A person needs at intervals to separate
from family and companions
and go to new places.
One must go without familiars
in order to be open to influences,
to change.

Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, the planet of death, rebirth and transformation suggests that pain is part of the process of purification and certainly of 'birthing'. We know women experience pain when giving birth, but what do we leave that experience with? (most of the time, with few obvious exceptions) but a GIFT!! What do you think a caterpillar *feels* as it wiggles out of the cocoon? or any baby lifeform bursting through the container it arrives in? but in time out of time, the struggle to live is something all creatures do instinctively. Connect to your will to LIVE ~ THRIVE ~ PROSPER ~ and MAXIMIZE THE MOMENTS in your every day life. Life is not a blockbuster film, or the Grammy awards, no brass band is going to play for your every accomplishment, you have to *CONNECT* ~ in this moment ~ to YOUR BLISS ~ YOUR JOY ~ YOUR HAPPINESS ~ YOUR PEACE ... WITHIN! Within your own being, within your own heart, within your own sacred space and most importantly within as many *moments* as you can consciously count, starting with *NOW* the PRESENT MOMENT.

The opposite of Scorpio is Taurus, which rules GRATITUDE, among other things. We must in every moment, count our many blessings. I highly recommend referring back to 6-months ago and 1-year ago. I bet you will discover seeds you planted which have come to fruition and those which need more nurturing to become mature enough to be released.

In my own personal review, it occurred to me that when I remember being "most effective" - it was often because I did NOT think as much or as long before acting, but acted on instinct and in the moment. As we get older, we are more conscious of what can go wrong, and that youthful sense of invincibility, while in dire need of some temperance, actually serves an amazing purpose: More often than not ~ things go RIGHT! (Reflect on your own stats, I bet you find that things work out more than they DON'T.) And even when things went wrong, none of it killed me, but gave me another clue about my Self as well as more clarity on my true desires.

I suggest releasing as quickly as possible that which is done or not working, and embracing new options as soon as possible so you can benefit from them or count them out and move on. Really, what do you have to LOSE? failing? you've failed before. Looking foolish, I'm sure that's been done at some point too. What should scare you more than anything is giving up without even trying (to fulfill your potential). There is always a way to do what you want to do, even if you have to do it in stages, just START doing what gives you joy. Start being part of communities which support and nourish you, while also allowing you to serve in the community you care about. Artists should be in the 'artists' world ~ Writers should be in the 'writers' world etc, immerse your Self in the realm to which you wish to belong. Start with some aspect of your Self that you can BUILD ON (because expansion IS near, you must stabilize). Do the planting in Scorpio time and pruning in Taurus time and watch how the Garden that is YOU blossoms with its own unique energy, and attracts the perfect creatures you wish to live with and help sustain. Remember, gardens are home for both beauty and sustenance, two things we really cannot live without.

We have unprecedented assistance, which I speak to in the Monthly Forecast, but also at length in a Chiron in Aquarius: 2005-2010 Article. Chiron is called the Wounded Healer, and implies that we must heal Self, then others by our example and innate gifts. In other words, we teach that which we need most. Whatever your wounds, you have to heal before you can be of service to anyone else on a significant level. Scorpio asks that we purify any wounds, allow time to heal and contribute the necessary energy for healing, release them and be born anew. You will KNOW you have been born anew by the new choices you make ... it will become automatic in your behavior ~ in your body language ~ in your words and deeds. Scorpio energy burns off the dross and reveals the pure stuff within YOU, revealing what you are truly made of at the core.

And you are made of tougher stuff than you, a child of God & the Universe, give your Self credit for! You are not always privy to the grand design, but you're always co-creating on some level, so tune out the non-sense, tune IN to your common sense and extra sensory perceptions, this is not the time to take things for granted or at face-value. Tune in constantly to your FEELING nature, your INTUITION, your GUT, your 6th Sense are all available and much more reliable as a compass to direct you. And while all humans on the planet are growing along with Mother Earth, your INVISIBLE HELP ~ your Angels ~ your Guides ~ your Ancestors ~ and many benevolent energies and entities which want to see all living things thrive and prosper are ready, willing and much better able to ASSIST YOU. However, help has to be invited. None of the above will ever supercede your free will and choice, you have to invite the invisible help *IN* and create a welcoming space for creativity to occur. And this month, the veils are thinnest and you have much more access to the invisible realms than at any other time of the year, what do you have to lose by ... Clarifying your desire ... Owning what you are willing to sacrifice ... then Setting an intention ... Creating an inviting space ... then Trusting Spirit and Connecting to the *FEELING* of your request(s) fulfilled. Simple yet powerful exercise that won't take long at all.

EMBRACE *INFINITE* POSSIBILITIES
Today a thousand doors of
enterprise are open to you,
inviting you to useful work.
To live at this time is an
inestimable privilege,
and a sacred obligation
devolves upon you
to make right use of
your opportunities.
Today is the day in which
to attempt and achieve
something worthwhile.
