...Many Paths to Personal Empowerment & Healing


Astrological Perspectives

August 1, 2008 - This is a wonderful place to begin this new page.    I say this because I see this New Moon Solar Eclipse, heralding the beginning of the new manifestation of the 'Higher Vision' offered as a potential reality, which is supported by the 'Universal Energies' symbolized by the astrological archetypes.   Understanding the energies represented in the Mayan Calendar teachings, further clarifies the signposts indicating an extraordinary opportunity for Humanity to participate in choice of the type of reality being created or more precisely, the choice of energy alignment.  How will we choose to express this expansion of human evolution, which is tied to Universal  or Cosmic evolutionary cycles and pulses.  'I' in relationship with our social group.  Leo eclipse opposing the healing of humanity indicated by the Node/Chiron conjunction of  the Summer Solstice with Neptune symbolizing a re-view of our spiritual goals, with that harvest being brought to this dimension as Neptune stations direct in Nov. just in time for the 6th day of the Mayan cycle bringing to fruition to our choice after awakening from the darkness, or negatively/immaturely expressed energies.  My only concern is the possible lag time between awakening and implementation on a large enough scale to visibly impact daily experience in the positive.  This eclipse in Leo suggests a focus on values, which raises my hopes, as miracles are indeed possible when a human becomes inspired.  A serious adjustment must be made in order to come into alignment with our purpose as a species illustrated by Mars quincunx the Node in Aquarius, yet Saturn supports giving structure to healing in our daily experience.  The Sabian symbol for the degree of this eclipse speaks of rejuvenation....of limitless potential of self if alert to opportunities.  I have watched as humanity continues awakening, wave upon wave, and now to see an alignment with many indicators from many disciplines pointing to this time and the critical decision time based in active and aware energy focus to tip the balance in deciding which probable reality will be manifest.  I am ever convinced of the inherent heroic heart of the human being, and therefore I am confident that if only we humans will acknowledge our capabilities, awaken to the current realities, accept our responsibilities to determine from our own will what reality we choose to create....and finally to courageously discipline ourselves to act in alignment with that higher vision...we will triumph in accomplishing that alignment.  What better energy than a New Moon in Leo (the awakening of self) supported with the added power of an eclipse, supported in a 30 degree aspect (fruition) to Saturn (holding the energy of structure and form), with Mars ready to take action to align with Humanities Purpose (square to N Node in Aquarius) from Virgo (implementing flow with daily life).  Meanwhile Jupiter continues to re-view in retro motion Capricorn (authority structure).  From that higher philosophical perspective...Do our authority structures actually model our philosophical truths?  Sept. 9, '08 Jupiter stations direct bringing these revelations into manifestation.  Sabian symbolism for 13 Cap.  Speaks of Man's  inner strength which comes from his inherent understanding of the creative potential in his connection to the Divine.  The key is Magic as he knows he must demonstrate his independence of circumstances in his alignment with the potential of his inherent power and authority.  As we awaken to this knowing we may choose to discipline and manifest this Higher Vision of independence from seeming victim hood of circumstances beyond our control with the acceptance of responsibility and choice of alignment with the  divine energies.  August 16, 2008 Full Moon Lunar Eclipse:  Sun at 24:21 Leo opposes the Moon conjunct Neptune at 22:49 Aquarius.   Symbolizing the fruition of the Spiritual awakening of humanity with Uranus making a 30 degree aspect in Pisces, indicating a dramatic change manifesting the results of this spiritual ideal.   This is my vision and I'm sticking to it.   We are still looking at values as they apply to individual expression as we harmonize that expression with the welfare of humanity as a whole.  All energy is only energy until we focus it's expression, and so this energy symbolized through these astrological archetypes, has the opportunity to be focused and expressed from this higher spiritual perspective.  We can also choose to express these energies in an immature manner , thus choosing an alternate reality.  With transiting Chiron continued conjunction to the North Node....I see the Universe supporting an opportunity for a healing of Humanity through spiritual Attunement, or the opportunity for deception and manipulation.  Pluto at a wide sextile continues to move to support this transcendence through expanded consciousness awakening, as Mars assists in lending energy to the analysis of what action may be taken to align with the flow on a daily basis.   Meanwhile Venus has us looking through our meaningful relationships with loved ones to determine how we may harmonize with our authentic selves, guided by the teachings mirrored in those relationships.  Vesta supports our integrating on a core level, what information we receive from our intellectual realizations, as we analyze what is our truth regarding our heart's desires, as the light of practical manifestation in this dimension leads us to clarity of our personal truth, illustrated in those meaningful relationships, that can then be expanded on the Universal stage.  Clarity of practical alignment, flow, and expression in this dimension, of those higher truths is the core of the potential realization that I see being supported by the Cosmic Mystery.   I am confident that Humanity has chosen to align with that Higher Energy....and as the Universe is supporting that manifestation, I trust we will succeed in the realization of the great potential creation based in the spiritual frequencies which resonate with Love.  August New Blue Moon - 8/30/08 -  A third moon within a single month labels this New Moon a Blue Moon.  The Sun and the Moon conjunct at 7:48 Virgo at 3:58 pm on Sat. afternoon on the East Coast.   Let's look at this new pulse generating Virgo energies to see how earth may experience this new pulse.   From the perspective of being human, Virgo is about analyzing how to express the 'I' or ego self realized through Leo in relation to the world seemingly outside of self.  Discerning what the current of that reality is and how the  ' I ' may flow with that current.  Our last eclipse had us finding balance through the lens of the 'ego' in relation to humanity.  Now that that awareness is awakened, we must discern how best to go with the flow.  This moon has the Universe lending support to this intention.  It is interesting that it occurs on the first day of the ten portals in a row, which occurs twice within the sacred Mayan calendar known as the T'zolkin.  A portal has the energy of thinning the veils between dimensions, facilitating influence directing manifestation in those dimensions.  This coupled with the power of the new moon makes this a particularly auspicious event.  Mars in Libra, is making a 30 degree aspect to the moon indicating our implementation of action to bring balance within our philosophically expanded understandings, with Poseidon supporting the ideal manifested in the world.  Tis true, that these indicators oft times require an extended period before we witness their arrival in our material experience, and Jupiter going direct just before Equinox in September with Uranus bringing those dramatic shifts into this dimension with it's direct movement after the Mayan 6th day commenses in November, portends the actuality of these energies are on the horizon.  It is with great excitement and gratitude that I join with other Light Workers throughout the planet and the Universe to celebrate the choice of Life with Mother Earth.  Sept. Full Moon - 9/15/08 -  At 22:54 Pisces, 5:13am in Eastern North American.  The fruition of the Universal support of transition to alignment with the values of the higher spiritual vision.  Mercury, Venus and Mars are in a 2 degree conjunction in Libra impulsing the planet with the energies to act on the information regarding the need to harmonize with human values.  The Sun in Virgo illuminates the understanding of what path aligns with that ideal of Pisces, that the moon inspires the masses to seek through their feelings, which inspire that choice.  The cosmic truth of Neptune in Aquarius in quinqunx requires an adjustment by Humanity, to align with these truths illuminated by the Virgo Sun.   Uranus conjunct the Moon gives the energy needed to dramatically make those changes within our selves to align with the ideal inspired by the emotions of the masses.  Meanwhile Pluto, newly direct in motion, brings into being those transformations empowered by the expanded understandings emerging from the Galactic Center, which require adjustments on the world stage inspired by the quinqunx of Pluto to the Midheaven in Taurus, to bring them to fruition and manifestation.   This energy is being supported by the Cosmos...it is but one possible expression of these energies, yet as the North Node in Aquarius trines the Mercury, Venus, Mars conjunction, I read the intent to materialize or bring into our experience in this dimension,  those values held in an idealistic, Piscean vibration, to be the direction of flow indicated by astrological symbolism.   Humanity has come to that time in which we will witness what direction our choices and intention have created.  As we approach this Equinox at which time we will be guided to refine those energies giving opportunity to balance once more before the next Mayan Day of Flowering which opens in November.
