<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Full Moon in Capricorn was exact at 2:20 am UT/GMT Thursday 2nd July. In Native American lore the July Full Moon is also called Buck Moon, Mead Moon, Ripe Moon, Sun House Moon and Thunder Moon to name a few.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Capricorn represents integrity and diligence to me. The Full Moon is the culmination of a lunar cycle which began two weeks ago at the Gemini New Moon. Do you remember what you were thinking or dreaming about, or what you wished for at that time? Now is the time we see what we have planted. We may also be seeing what we planted long, long ago reaching for the sky; Nurtured by our diligence and integrity and firmly taking root now.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Full Moon name that really stands out for me is Thunder Moon. Last Thursday I mentioned to somebody that I keep thinking about Thursday being named after the God of Thunder and Thor, but I don't know why. After the Venus and Jupiter conjunction (the so called bright star of Bethlehem, exact at 21 Leo 37, less than 24 hours before this Full Moon) and the fact that the Full Moon falls on a Thursday this month, and Jupiter also rules Thursday, I am seeing a bigger picture. This bigger picture has a deeper personal meaning which I will share because lessons are archetypal in nature so may be relevant for others.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Jupiter/Venus conjunction fell within a degree of my natal Moon which is both my chart ruler and in my first house. For anybody not in the astro know, this is a strong lunar placement. On top of that, my natal Moon is the focal planet of a Thor's Hammer, a lesser known astrological alignment I was taught by my astrology teacher, the late Parampara Hughes. Jupiter and Mercury are the other two planets involved in my natal Thor's hammer planetary alignment which involves two sesquisquares and a square. In Mythology, Thor was given a powerful and magical Hammer. The Hammer was created for a greater god than Thor, so Thor needed an iron glove so the hammer did not destroy him.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Without going into any more personal stories, I relate to Thor in that I feel I have been given something made for somebody with more knowledge, wisdom and better boundaries than me; A gift that feels more like a burden than a gift most of the time; A gift which I have worked hard to become worthy of; A gift which has nearly destroyed parts of me, many times. It often destroys my peace of mind and sometimes it has felt like it could destroy me altogether. Perhaps you can relate?</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am reminded of a quote that from memory was said by Jesus in the Gnostic Gospels, "If we bring forth what is within us, what we bring forth shall save us. If we do not bring forth what is within us, what we do not bring forth shall destroy us." I have been trying to bring forth what is within me, but the gift my "hammer" brings me and my innate nature has made this extremely challenging. It has felt like I will be destroyed if I do bring forth what is within as well as if I do not. Until now. I feel I am being gifted with my iron glove, finally. Thank you Venus and Jupiter, and thank you Moon and Sun (Leo's ruler)</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This lovely Venus/Jupiter alignment has brought something for everyone, both personal and in the collective, but we must take our gift, choose it, be grateful for it, acknowledge it, be worthy of it and be humble or we risk being flattened by the energies. The energies have been powerful. The energies have felt amazing, but they are also shifting things so there have been MANY challenging moments too. This will continue. A friend just told me she is feeling waves of energy coming in very powerfully. Two days ago the <a href="http://anvisible.com/">Heart Of AN Activation</a> took place in the Sacred Valley, Peru. These energies are permeating everything. We will never be the same again. Onward ANd Heavenwards!!!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What gifts of unity, creativity, love, abundance and good fortune can you see? What fruits of diligence and integrity are making themselves known to you? Enjoy and treasure them. They are your precious pearls. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The New Moon was
exact at 2:05:18 pm/14:05:18 UT/GMT on Tuesday 16<sup>th</sup> June. As with
every New Moon the following twenty-four hours is a potent time to set
intentions and make a wish, or many.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After this intense
Gemini Mercury retrograde most of us will have a good idea or feeling about
what seeds we would like to sew at this time, so I won’t suggest any Gemini themes.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have had a busy day
and was out and about just before the New Moon was exact. I didn’t have any confrontations
but I encountered a few frustrated and perhaps angry people and found many people wanting to
communicate and interact more than usual. Perhaps that is because Mars is also
in Gemini and conjunct the Sun and Moon at this New Moon. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Earlier today I was
thinking how different forms of expression and different emotions are misunderstood
and labelled as anger, as happened to me yesterday when I was very upset and
hurt about something and was accused of being angry, something I wasn’t feeling
at the time. Once upon a time the angry label may have applied, and while some
over-reaction may still occur pinpointing the root feeling or root issue has never
been easier. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps this Mercury retrograde has brought awareness or somehow refined
and re-defined your thoughts, connections and communicating styles, as I feel
it has for me. The best way I can describe it is what was once experienced as a
7 coloured rainbow has become a multi–coloured spectrum of shades, and what was once a multi-coloured spectrum of shades has become a multi-faceted and
multi-dimensional experience and so on into what becomes utterly indescribable in
words for me, at this time at least. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently I read something
that said we are more than our astrology chart. It started me thinking about my
definition of astrology and astrology charts again. We are greater than the sum
of all physical and experienced parts, but so are the stars and the planets. Everything
is greater than what we can conceive, but it is difficult to interpret and
understand beyond what we are able to conceive. We are limited by our
imagination. When we limit what the stars and planets are, and represent, to
just the physical, we limit astrology and its possible interpretation. When we
limit Astrology to include only our solar system and only the luminaries and
official planets plus Pluto (not sure of its current planetary status) we also
limit Astrology and its interpretation. I can see how people think Astrology is
less than all they are, but ultimately this is only true of the interpretation of
Astrology. We are connected to all things, “As below, so above, as above so
below,” and we are made of stars. Many believe that Source or God/Goddess is a Star…
anyway food for thought, something Gemini loves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am way behind on so
many writing projects because this Mercury retrograde “took me out” in terms of
my usual creative focus and outlets. Even as I type this I am standing, stooping over a
table of normal dining height. I have had great difficulty sitting still this
last month and it doesn’t look set to change anytime soon. So while I have managed to paint my Oak Tree Celtic Astrology sign mandala, I have not had the chance to research
and write about it. I plan on adding it to this blog over the next few days but
I’m not holding my breath. Who knows what the coming days will bring? The last
few weeks has been very interesting and a huge learning curve
energetically-speaking. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

is exact on 9<sup>th</sup> June at 3:40pm/15:40 UT/GMT. Mercury swings back
around this week. This should alleviate any communication/miscommunication issues including wifi problems which I've experienced the last few weeks. Mercury stations on 10<sup>th</sup> June and goes direct on the 12<sup>th</sup>
at 10:33pm/22:33 UT/GMT. Mars is in play too. Mars is transiting Gemini, like Mercury, and is conjunct the Gemini Sun and squaring the Pisces Moon at this Last Quarter Moon.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It has been another
fascinating week, albeit a challenging one personally. There are a number of
themes that have been brought to my attention and I really don’t know what to
focus on so I’m going to start with Mars in Gemini. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I read somewhere
recently that Mars in Gemini is stubborn. I certainly feel like digging my
heels in on a few things today. I mean digging them in so that nothing and
nobody can move me anywhere I don’t choose to go. And yet it feels as though
some force has been doing everything in its power to try and bend me, shape me,
and mold me against my will. I keep thinking I’ve broken free and then it seems
to find a new way to hunt me down, limit me and de-energize me. This is what I
have to say on the matter: Don’t mess with my mojo!!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Originally the word mojo means a charm or a spell but now it is more
commonly said to mean sex appeal or talent. The definition of mojo in the
Cambridge English Dictionary is “a quality that attracts people to you and
makes you successful and full of energy.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pisces is the zodiac’s chameleon, Gemini is the “jack of all trades,” and
Mars rules sex appeal and energy and therefore our mojo. We can be whatever we
want and try a few things on for size right now I reckon, especially in these
last couple days with mercury retrograde! Why limit ourselves to what we have
become? Gemini has a Peter Pan quality and with the Sun, Mercury and Mars
transiting through Gemini, why not allow ourselves the fun and freedom we had
in younger years, exploring new ways of being and setting new possibilities fearlessly
ablaze?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are going through the same thing as me, dormant parts of self are
rising from deep within and unexpectedly springing to life. The restrictive controlling
forces that I have experienced and observed this week have aroused my inner
rebel, and as I said above, I’m digging in my heels. I’ll shift and change, but
I’ll do it on my terms. I’ll do it my way!! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s been a bit of an exhausting week really. I’ve felt scattered and like
I was in the next room or the next universe in more than a few moments, but now
I’m focused on calling back the scattered parts of myself. I’m calling my mojo back
home and I have no intention of letting it dissipate again. I feel this will
continue as a process as the Sun, Mercury and Mars move through the rest of Gemini,
into Cancer, and beyond!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don’t want to get
into the whole duality light versus dark thing but I do feel it is
important to work towards taking conscious and full possession of our energy
and thoughts while aligning ourselves with what brings us peace and keeps us
present and mindful; Now more than ever. I love expanding and exploring and
feeling like I’m going where Angels fear to tread, but I feel time and energy
is best spent, for the next little while at least, becoming as solid, present
and peaceful as possible. We need to fill the spaces in-between the space we inhabit,
if that makes any sense. Yes do it with fun and believe in the limitlessness of
our beings but don’t sparkle with the stars unless we also have our feet firmly
on the ground, unless we are firmly in our bodies. Spaces will be filled. We
want to choose the space-fillers with as much awareness as possible.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The burden of our
responsibilities may be felt greatly at this time. Perhaps we no longer need to
be burdened by some of our perceived responsibilities. Really, we are only
responsible for ourselves and our children, while they are children. Some of us
are overly responsible and therefore overly burdened. I dreamt I was carrying
around two large heavy wooden wardrobes the other night. Everywhere I went the
wardrobes came too. It was exhausting, carrying them, finding a place to put
them... I quickly realized one of the wardrobes does not belong to me and I
began working towards off-loading it while processing the contents of the other.
Turns out that the other wardrobe isn’t all mine either. My digestion was poor
for a few days but has continued to improve since as I digest, process, and let
go… Carting around these wardrobes has definitely been a major mojo-drainer and
the discovery of this has been both interesting and unexpected! May the
unburdening continue!!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next week is the
Gemini New Moon. We may observe the deconstruction of old parts of ourselves and
our dreams leading up to the New Moon. We may also gain insight and feel
inspired by what is being deconstructed and/or what is being, or can be,
created and constructed. Some of us may wish to be quiet, secluded and still
during the balsamic or dark Moon phase that is the few days before the New Moon.
This is a powerful time that renews and rejuvenates us for the next Lunar
Phase.</span></span></div>

times. They may feel like heavy, dark and challenging times, but they are also
full of beautiful possibilities and unfolding wonders; For eyes that can see;
For ears that can hear... We may need to remind ourselves of the beauty and
possibility constantly. We may frequently doubt it because it is not our
current experience, but we must not give up. We need to find practices that
bring us back to peace and thinking of beautiful possibilities. Mindfulness,
meditation, gratitude practices, dancing, spending time with kids and spending
time in nature are some tried and tested ways for many many of people. These
things may not appeal to you. That’s fine. Find what does bring peace and
grounding and do it often. We need all the gratitude, peace and presence of mind,
body and spirit we can create.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Full Moon is
exact at 16:18/4:18 pm UT/GMT, Tuesday June 2<sup>nd</sup>. In Native American
lore, the June Full Moon is also called Honey Moon, Rose Moon, Flower Moon and Strawberry
Moon, to name a few.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now is the time to
open our hearts as never before. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter is
the planet of expansion. Jupiter is currently transiting through Leo. Leo rules
the heart. Now whether this is the reason the heart has come up as a theme the
last week I have no idea but I have had more conversations about the heart and
love this week than usual. A friend was saying recently that you can grow the
heart energetically/emotionally or physically. We want emotional/energetic
growth. If we are unable to open our heart and expand this way we may experience
resistance that can hurt physically. We may also end up with physical heart
problems. I have found that my heart hurts when I intellectualize my feelings.
Feelings are meant to be felt. Oftentimes our feelings are intense and
uncomfortable, so it makes sense to run them through our minds, but in the long
run feeling is what is required, and we will be forced back into feeling one
way or another. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Every time I think,
feel, and see something unpleasant or uncomfortable I say to myself "love is
greater than this," because it is. There are so many confronting and tragic
things going on in the world and lately I have found I need to consciously
remind myself regularly that my heart is bigger and my love is greater than
these things. I discovered a long time ago that pretending the unpleasant and
uncomfortable does not exist prevented me from being present and feeling truly
alive. As a good friend said the other day, we are called to integrity,
compassion and empathy, not denial. Perhaps certain beings chose to experience
uncomfortable, unpleasant and tragic experiences, but we all chose to birth a
new world full of love and compassion. We must embody and live the qualities we
wish to fill our Heaven on Earth with. With great love, compassion and empathic
action we can shift everything, but that won’t happen if we turn our backs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Everything may feel
more intense and perhaps painful right now but allowing ourselves to feel
liberates our being; Being okay with not understand our feelings but feeling
them anyway liberates our being. It is okay not to know everything, to not have
all the answers. Perhaps it helps to think of the “not knowing” and “not understanding”
as a wonderful surprise that will reveal itself within perfectly unfolding moments.
Right now I have no idea what is next but I am delighting in the thrill of both
the unknown and the limitless possibilities of the times we are living in. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Personal
miracles/miraculous-seeming breakthroughs are possible as never before. This
has been one of the most amazing weeks of my life. I have nothing new to show
for it in the physical and the week’s themes have been intense, to say the
least, but I have shifted in a way I have wanted to for a very long time.
Things didn’t start amazingly well. I felt very scattered for a few days after
writing my last blog entry. I couldn’t focus on anything and found basic things
a huge challenge. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The scattering was
precipitated by an expansion that took me beyond my perception of the
collective reality’s limitations and expectations. Then, quite unexpectedly, a
few days later, something that felt like it had been holding my spirit hostage
for some years, suddenly let go. By “holding my spirit hostage” I mean that a
strong force had been squeezing me into a box that I did not fit into. It felt
like the box’s creator used judgements, projections, limitations, opinions and
so on, that were completely out of alignment with who I am to hold me hostage. The
consciousness behind the force boxing my spirit probably had no idea what it
was doing, but it was an excruciatingly uncomfortable time, and while I knew
what was happening I was unable to put an end to it. I now know that the
experience had its own timeline. There was nothing I could have done to end it
before now. All I could do was what I learnt to do in the end; To be patient;
To trust myself and my understanding of the experience; And to trust that one
day that particular lesson would come to a completion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I would go so far as
to say that right now I feel great. I am soaring, just quietly. I’ve felt
happier and more free before, but in those times, upon reflection and with
hindsight, I was a bit manic and ungrounded. Now, the happiness and freedom is
quiet, comfortable, peaceful and grounded, in my experience. I know from others
how the current energies are feeling and I am aware of the themes they are
bringing up, but they are not affecting me at the moment. It’s a personal
miracle and I’m loving it!!! Hence why I feel now, more than ever before, is
the time for personal miracles. Of course it wasn’t so much a miracle as the
completion and reward, in perfect time, for a hard lesson learned. May this
feeling last.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

illuminates what may not have been visible even yesterday. The Full Moon is the
half way point of the lunar cycle which began two weeks ago, at New Moon. The
last New Moon was in Taurus. What wishes did we sew at the New Moon? What were
we dreaming and thinking about at the last New Moon? Perhaps our dreams and
wishes have taken root and are bearing fruit. Enjoy!!! If not, be patient and
let go. Our human self wants it all now, but our eternal being understands that
there is a time, a season, a lifetime for all things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

bigger picture. This Full Moon is an opportunity to see things from an expanded
perspective. Expanded perspectives bring insights through understanding beyond
the little details many of us get caught up in on a daily basis. Seeing our
life from a more expanded perspective can bring peace, optimism, patience and
understanding where before there was a racing mind, confusion and overwhelm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I have noticed some
interesting things with time and time lines. Perhaps you have too? Most
recently has been experiencing the present as the past, while it is happening.
I’ve had this before and it has felt like intense Déjà vu but this time it’s more
like Déjà vu on super steroids. I have experienced the place, the events, the
conversations and the people before, and yet, I know these circumstances have never
before lined up in this way, in the physical. This might not make sense
unless you’ve experienced it. I believe such experiences are a sign that I am
on the right track. Things are falling into place and I am exactly where I need
to be. I am dreaming my true life into being.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I have written a few
times recently about Heaven and Earth becoming one. Yesterday I was discussing
current energies with a friend. I said it feels a bit like two dimensions are
colliding and we are caught in the middle, experiencing both the creation of
the new and the deconstruction of what no longer works. Perhaps this collision
of dimensions is Heaven and Earth colliding, rocking our world, aligning to
become one… It may feel uncomfortable, even unbearable, but it is also full of
promise and wondrous possibilities. There is much to look forward to. There is
a great celebration going on that some may be aware of, and others are consciously part of.
Sagittarius is the zodiac’s explorer. Sagittarius loves breaking new ground.
Sagittarius is optimistic, adventurous and enthusiastic. Let’s embrace these
Sagittarian qualities as we experience being both the creators and the midwives
of our new world!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Moon is in her First Quarter Phase. The first lunar square is exact at 17:18/5:18pm UT/GMT, May 25th. The Moon is in Mercury-ruled Virgo and squares the Sun in Mercury-ruled Gemini. Mercury is retrograding through Gemini and Mars is also in Gemini! All I can say is Mercury is expressing in many different ways, many of them challenging!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Virgo refines and seeks perfection, Gemini is an air sign who loves collating information and communicating; Both are mutable and therefore changeable.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I'm not sure how this Mercurial energy is affecting everyone else, but as somebody with Saturn and a Venus-Mars conjunction in Gemini I feel like I could be anywhere, fluttering and charging here there and everywhere, and in moments I am, but last night it became clear how best to use this Mercurial Virgo-Gemini energy: BREAK OUT OF THE MOULD! I was trying to go to sleep but was experiencing a familiar energetic pattern that I have always found uncomfortable and no longer find acceptable. I said STOP, no more, just like that!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The Sun has just moved out of Fixed Taurus and into Gemini. Feels like a perfect time to break out of the mould of other's projections, break the glass ceiling, move out of the box, and go beyond the limits set by others, and ourselves!! Mercury is the messenger, the God who carries messages between the Underworld, the Earth Plane and the Heavens. Mercury is not limited to any realm. Mercury can go everywhere!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Last night I experienced myself traveling in and out, up and beyond. I noticed that those who have set limits are pushing against a glass ceiling, so to speak. I allowed no other being's limits to limit me. The way I did this was to not check in on where I was. There was no comparison or levels, just expansion and limitless-ness. I soared because I can.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">We all can but so many set limits in both obvious ways and ways that don't feel like limits. Whenever we feel or think we have arrived, fully awakened, evolved, that we are at the top, the pinnacle of our last mountain, we limit ourselves because there is always MORE!! If we have a body there is always MORE, more to discover, more to expand into, more to connect with, more to come into alignment with, more to embody!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">It is not easy to let go of comparisons and attachment to knowing ourselves to be at a certain level, but doing so is the way to be truly free and limitless! Feel any tension and allow it to show where we need to break on through, to the other side, or better yet, where we need to create and be as though there is nothing left to break through, and then, so it is... LIMITLESS PERFECT BLISS!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Let's soar because we can! No limits!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Let's dance! Let's soar! Love!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">PS... Well that was yesterday, but today has been a very different story! I can't remember a time when I have felt more scattered! My explanation is that a foundation stone that no longer serves my true purpose has been removed, or my old story has come to a completion. The ensuing chaos or scattering indicates everything is shifting, the soul pot is being stirred, the pieces are coming together in a new way. Exciting but rather challenging... </span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Taurus/Hawthorn New Moon is exact at 4:11 am UT/GMT on Monday 18<sup>th</sup> may. The New Moon is a creatively potent time and is the perfect time to consciously make a wish or two. Mercury has begun its thrice yearly Retrograde period so for the next three weeks communication and the way our mind processes could bring challenges, or even some fabulous insights. Mercury is retrograding through Gemini, one of the signs it rules and is comfortable in, so I am feeling quite optimistic, and not experiencing any tech challenges yet. You can read something I wrote about Mercury retrograde a couple years ago <a href="http://astronergy22.blogspot.de/2013/09/mr-mercury-retrograde.html">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

What was seeded in Aries is nurtured and built upon in Taurus. Aries creates something from nothing. Taurus grounds that something in the physical.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Taurus New Moon is great for making wishes around manifesting physical comforts and personal resources. Taurus rules the physical senses so sensual pleasure is a big Taurus theme. Taurus rules “enjoyment of life on Earth,” says Jan Spiller in her book “New Moon Astrology” so the Taurus New Moon is a great time to make wishes around increasing or manifesting appreciation, gratitude, contentment and a greater rapport with nature. Taurus rules building and therefore wishes around creating solid foundations, persistence, resilience, perseverance and thoroughness are all supported. Taurus also rules patience, dependability and trustworthiness so now is a good time to make wishes around creating more of that in your life. Taurus rules self-worth, awareness of personal needs, appropriate boundary setting, strong values, self-acceptance and determination. A wish around this might go something like, “I wish to consciously experience feelings of self-worth in all areas of my life.” The Taurus New Moon is the perfect time to make a wish to release detrimental inflexibility, resistance to change, possessiveness, stubbornness, stagnation and holding onto dogmatic opinions. Taurus rules the throat, the thyroid gland, the metabolism, voice, vocal cords, chin and neck and wishes for health and healing in these areas will be supported at the Taurus New Moon..</span></div>

Hawthorn clears the heart and mind of negativity, stimulates love and forgiveness and offers clarity. It brings patience and stillness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Hawthorn is ruled by Mars, Venus and Vulcan. Hawthorn symbolizes purification, Sacred marriage and male–female unity. Hawthorn’s deities include Hera, Olwen and Mother Mary and it rules Blackbirds, Owls and Purple Martins. Interestingly I dreamt of a Blackbird today and last week I took some photos of the most heavenly light flooding Mother Mary’s Grotto in the forest nearby my house. I can see the influence of Hawthorn in my life at this time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In healing and herbal lore, hawthorn flowers, leaves and berries have blood-pressure reducing properties, and can be used to treat heart and circulatory disorders, migraine, symptoms of menopause, insomnia and angina. The flowers are a strong sedative when taken internally and externally can be used to treat acne and skin blemishes. The berries contain Vitamin C and B-complex and can be crushed to treat kidney problems and diarrhea. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Hawthorn month is a time of fertility, masculine energy and fire. Male potency is high at this time, following Beltane/May Day, so this is a great month for conception. The original Maypoles were made out of Hawthorn.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Hawthorn tree holds strong magic and forms a portal to the fairy realms. This is also a powerful time to focus on keeping a barrier between ourselves and things we do not want in our life. It is a great time to push away lingering and old problems, thoughts and irritations.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Around this time, five years ago, ago I spent a day with a healer out in nature. We were surrounded by jungle and a lake as we worked. We talked about goddesses, spirals, dancing, the appropriate sharing of knowledge and wisdom, and how clear our energy becomes once we are in a natural environment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">As we sat I was asked, “What do I really want?" Did I want to leave the Earth plane, ascend so to speak, into heaven? Did I want to teach on top of a mountain? Did I want Heaven on Earth? My answer was quickly delivered. I have known since I was a small child that my mission this lifetime was aligning Heaven and Earth; Creating Heaven on Earth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #274e13; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Heaven on Earth is not a new idea and I know others feel that creating Heaven on Earth is their mission too. There are many of us, but getting really clear on it was helpful for me that day. I spent the next hour mediating on bringing two equilateral triangles (one representing the Earth and the divine feminine, the other representing Heaven and the divine masculine) together in a 6-pointed star alignment in my heart of hearts. There are many dimensions to this practice, and deeper meanings to the triangles, or pyramids and beyond, but I want to keep it simple. We are each a little piece of Heaven on Earth. Know it. Keep the greater mission of your life clear no matter what little challenges are presented; These little things may seem like mountains at the time, but they pass, our greater mission is a constant, conscious or not.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The pink cross represents the collective Consciousness embodied within Christ Consciousness, which spans, and therefore connects, Heaven and Earth. The diamond within the diamonds represents the absolute heart of hearts and purity.</span></div>

this Hawthorn/Taurus New Moon is a time to let go of or discover solutions to old problems and irritations, play with
the fairies, open our hearts even more, be clear on what we choose to create
and start living Heaven and Earth as one; First with our hearts and then
grounding into our full-being, and so the physical realm! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">There
are a few things I would rather be doing right now (sleeping and sleeping:) but I feel a strong
compulsion to write and share my ramblings about the coming Scorpio Full Moon
on Monday 4<sup>th</sup> May, exact at 3:42 am UT/GMT. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">In Native
American lore April’s Full Moon is called Planter’s Moon, Pink Moon, Do Nothing
Moon and Big Wind Moon, to name a few. The Scorpio Full Moon is Wesak, the
legendary time of Buddha’s return. In Chinese Astrology this is the Dragon Full
Moon, and in Celtic Astrology it is the Ngetal/Reed Full Moon whose symbols are
the white hound and the stone. In both Modern Western and Modern Celtic
Astrology this Full Moon is ruled by Pluto.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">Scorpio’s
waters are deep, dark and oftentimes feel murky. We are feeling within the realms
of the subconscious. At Scorpio Full Moon buried emotions and psychological
impulses surface, sometimes very unexpectedly, into our conscious awareness. In
other words a spotlight shines on a deeper truth behind our impulses,
compulsions, emotions and thoughts. Scorpio probes deep. Scorpio and it’s
planetary ruler, Pluto, rule the underworld and transformation. We may find this
Scorpio Full Moon illuminates our transformation so that we may appreciate how
far we have come and make a leap forward. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">At New
Moon seeds are sewn from both our conscious wishes and our subconscious and
unconscious dreams and desires. At Full Moon we see what we have sewn. What is rising into our conscious awareness
from our inner depths at this time? </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">I am
reading “Yesterday’s Sky: Astrology and Reincarnation,” by Steven Forrest. The
process of understanding my chart’s deeper meaning, in terms of past-life
issues which have been restricting me this life, at least on an emotional
level, is proving to be very transformational. The impulse to dig to a deeper level
of self-understanding is very Plutonic and Scorpionic. I am discovering that everything
I have ever felt, thought and remembered about my previous life-times is in my
birth chart. This is illuminating and confirming the depth of my self-perception
and understanding over decades which is wonderful as I had started to question
if perhaps I had been accessing collective memories rather than personal
past-life experiences. I feel transformed and empowered at this Full Moon and
it feels crystal clear to me that the only way through to fulfilling my destiny
and embodying my full-potential is to be in a state of super awareness and
consciousness in every moment. It’s a huge ask but I feel this is the same for
many… The Scorpio Full Moon is in perfect time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">In
between writing this, I am watching “Selma,” a movie which chronicles, in part,
Martin Luther King’s Civil Rights Movement. I was already thinking deeply about
my purpose and what raising consciousness means to me when King was quoted in
the movie as saying something like, “we need to raise white consciousness if we
want racial equality.” What does raising consciousness mean to you and what is
its purpose in a broader spiritual sense? What can we hope to achieve as the
old world gives birth to the new? Will the new be a creation of elevated consciousness
or the creation of unhealed deeply buried and subconscious psychological
impulses? What is the Scorpio Full Moon illuminating for you so that you may
raise your consciousness even further? When we raise our consciousness we
contribute to the raising of the collective consciousness…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">Last
weekend (the weekend of the First Quarter Moon) while I would have liked to have been sleeping soundly, I was both
wide awake and feeling expanded. Part of me would like to keep the experience
to myself but I also feel it’s important I share the possibilities, the grace
we are being afforded at this time, as well as expressing gratitude for the
period of personal grace we were all given, which has come to a completion so
that we may level- up, step-up, or man-up (a sporting expression and a line in
the closing credits track in Selma).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">Whether
we have been aware or not, we have experienced a period of grace where all were
given the opportunity to experience raised states of consciousness and receive
information that may have otherwise been beyond our state of consciousness and awareness.
Doors were unlocked and left wide open for us to walk through energetically.
The doors are still wide open, but in order to stand on our own feet in
self-achieved expanded states of awareness, our support structure has
completely shifted. The purpose of this period of grace was to demonstrate, from within, what
we needed to align with to be whole, healed, aware and a more expanded being.
When this period abated or abates we may experience anything from feeling
abandoned, to dead inside, to understanding that the training wheels are off
and perhaps even being excited at coming into our own empowerment. We each
experience this at a different moment in time for reasons that are complex and
beyond me to explain in his moment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">After
the Full Moon, light begins to wane and there is a break-down of what is no
longer useful or relevant. The forces of creation and the forces of destruction
are one due to the cyclic nature of energy. Like the dark and the shadow,
destruction is feared. Like the light, creation is held in high esteem. Yet,
light cannot exist without dark and creation is made possible through
transformation of energy. Nothing is ever really destroyed, rather, energy has
been transformed. The breakdown of energy which is to be transformed, is oftentimes
experienced as a form of destruction, no matter how gentle. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">Last
week I heard the words, “I feel like destroying something, I feel like getting
even with those who have caused harm…” Gentle words were spoken to the likes of
the Fates, the Furies, Shiva, Kali, or whatever we may call the Goddesses and
Gods of Divine Retribution, Karma and Destruction. Personal vendettas and vengeance
for its own sake will not be supported. The priority is that Mother Earth and
her inhabitants shift as gently as possible. Apparently spontaneous collective
consciousness raising is set for the coming months and will take place in
unprecedented ways. In honour of Mother Earth’s wishes I will call the cyclic
transformation of energy, deconstruction and construction, rather than
destruction and creation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">The
Earth Keepers continue to dance through time. We are invited to join the party
at any moment and we may leave at any moment. We dance to support Mother
Earth’s shifts and to assist the conscious creation of the new where each being
is valued and celebrated purely for being, and no being is in need of
nourishment; Body, mind or spirit. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">Our
personal objectives will be supported when they serve the greater good and Mother
Earth’s plan and our true purpose and destiny. Greedy personal gain, at the
expense of Mother Earth and her inhabitants health and well-being, will likely
fail because the collective consciousness will be elevated to such an extent
that support will simply and gently be withdrawn. Liars and cheats will be
exposed and their former methods no longer tolerated. I believe we will be
gentle as these shifts take place, understanding that once old behaviours have
been released we will not hold others, or ourselves, to what they/we were,
rather, we will believe in all the wonderful that we and others are capable of,
and we will embody this from that moment forth, in all directions of time,
across all states of awareness and dimensions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: blue;">Lastly,
a timeline, of sorts… I saw within the boughs of the Willow tree, two sea
serpents and their cosmic egg at a Full Moon. The new was birthed as though
from a woman whose thighs were the two branches of a Willow tree. In Celtic
Mythology the Willow Tree was the first tree and the Sea Dragon’s egg,
contained within its boughs, gave birth to the Cosmos and the Earth. The last
New Moon was both the Aries and Willow New Moon. The Willow Full Moon is late
in the year, and I expect it will be a time when the new will be seen and
experienced as never before. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

at this Full Moon. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

party is in full swing, we only have to remember our eternal invitation to
attend and celebrate together; Both the deconstruction of what no longer serves
Mother Earth’s plan, and the construction of what does. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I first
noticed nose/sinus and eye issues at the Aries New Moon last week and since I
have had issue with my tongue and speech, have noticed a few strange heart
flutters and have an itchy red rash right over my thymus gland. About half an
hour ago I fell over and hurt my neck playing soccer with my son who twisted
his ankle just after that, and my large intestine is feeling really heavy as I
write. Aries rules inflammation (rashes) and both the sinus and eyes, Leo rules
the heart and the thymus gland, Scorpio rules the bowels, Aquarius rules the
ankles and Taurus rules the neck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It
seems the body parts ruled by the particular signs the Moon has been in, or
will be in, at key times this Lunar cycle are being clearly brought into my
awareness . The last New Moon was in Aries, the First Quarter Moon is in Leo.
The Full Moon on the 4<sup>th</sup> May will be in Scorpio, the Last Quarter
Moon on 11<sup>th</sup> May will be in Aquarius, and the next New Moon on 18<sup>th</sup>
May will be in Taurus. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) the tongue is the sense organ for the Fire Element
(Heart, Small Intestine, Pericardium and Triple Heater meridians) and the nose
is the sense organ for the Metal Element (Lung/Large Intestine Meridians). In
simple terms, the Heart’s psychological/emotional function in TCM is related to
vitality and the spirit of living and enthusiasm. Our capacity to experience
joy, love, forgiveness, self-love and process sadness are all related to the
Heart. The psychological/emotional function of the Lungs is the capacity to let
go, be flexible and to process and release grief.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Self-worth
and entitlement issues are Leo themes. Leo often looks outside self for
validation and needs can be like a bottomless pit which cannot be met, no
matter how much validation and reassurance is given, until the root issues are
worked through or at least acknowledged. The same is true for entitlement issues.
Those with entitlement issues also have an insatiable need to be validated but
demand it in a more aggressive or diva-like manner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Stringing
it all together we are being shown physically any remaining emotional blocks
and unresolved issues. I can never be sure how much of my experience is purely
personal and how much is also a reflection of the collective but I’m going to
write as if my experience is collective. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Taurus
is a loyal sign, but once hurt deeply, forgiveness or letting go is difficult.
Leo, when hurt deeply, closes their heart and the energy drops into the solar
plexus creating a neediness that may as well be an abyss. However, with a
little self-awareness and inner work, little miracles are possible in these
times. A little work or a little insight goes a long, long way. Big shifts are easily
possible now, whereas before big shifts felt like they came only after an
immense amount of work. Less is more, literally. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

chatting to a friend yesterday about all manner of things and one of the
conversation’s pearls was: “It’s time to know that when you open your heart,
you will be nourished and you will flourish!” (Sandra). Our heart’s true wishes
are within our grasp, we only have to be open to receive. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

First quarter Moon is not called “crisis in action” for nothing. Listen to the
body now, if it is drawing attention to issues that need to be resolved, healed
or released, and the fruits of our labour and inner work will be evident at
Full Moon in a week, or we will at the very least glimpse coming expanded
possibilities. If we have been putting off a trip to the doctor/therapist for a
health issue, avoiding a conversation that needs to be had, or avoiding
anything that is unresolved that we are aware of, now is the time to act. We
are worth it, every single one of us!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I saw a
post on FB the other day about us all having been given a clean slate. I
recently pulled the blank rune three times in a row. We are at a point where
everything is possible, as I discussed in my last two New Moon blog entries.
However, any unresolved issues that are being brought into our awareness now, which
we choose to ignore, risk leading to us sabotaging our dreams and wishes,
visions and inspirations all too easily because we are more powerfully creative
now, than ever. Releasing any emotional blocks evident in our bodies now will
help ground not only our heart’s true wish, but more of our expanded being into
our awareness as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Moon is a potent time to set intentions, or make a wish, as it is the beginning
of the Lunar Cycle, when seeds of the new are sewn. Tomorrow’s New Moon in

Vernal Equinox symbolizes the birth of the Fire element. Fire is the first
element we encounter on the Tropical Zodiac. Fire is the principle of action.
Fire, like Spring, is the spirit of out-rushing energy which charges into the
cosmos, obliterating all that stands in its way…Aries is Cardinal Fire…Cardinal
refers to birth, the beginning of a cycle. It is the principle of initiation
where something arises out of nothing. Cardinality is the creative urge that
allows new life to manifest itself into a universe that may already be stable
and closed…Cardinal energy reinforces what Fire
represents…Aries is the will to exist, the life-force. First there is nothing
(Winter). Then there is something (Spring). Out of seemingly nowhere, life
bursts forth, claiming its place. “ <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

innocence, courage and independence. Aries rules the brain, head, face, sinus
and blood, in terms of blood energy. Aries is ruled by Mars. Mars rules

experiencing depression or prone to depression or melancholy: there have been a
few articles recently published about research that shows depression is driven,

rules the brain as well as the blood through which hormones are transported,
make some wishes around your depression lifting or around gaining insight into
its root cause or wish to find the perfect therapist to help you work through
it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

also the Willow Tree/Sea Dragon New Moon in Celtic Astrology. Willow is ruled
by the Moon. Willow has a long and extensive history of symbolism affiliated
with ritual and metaphysical practices. Willow tree leaves have been found in megalithic burial sites and the tombs of the </span><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Pharaohs</span><span style="line-height: 107%;">. At the Feast of the Tabernacle, ancient </span><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Israelites</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> decorated their altar with Willow boughs. The Willow tree was considered one of the trees of enchantment, along with the Ash, in Northern Europe and Greece.The first tree of creation in Celtic
mythology was the Willow. In the Druidic creation myth the two scarlet sea serpent’s
eggs, which contained the Sun and The Earth, lay hidden in the boughs of the
Willow. Thus, the universe was “hatched,” symbolizing both cosmic birth and the
birth of life on Earth. In Robert Graves account of the life and death of Jesus,
Mary Magdalene was living in a Willow tree when she and Jesus first met. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The wood of the Willow has been used in
ceremonies to honour the Moon and to enhance psychic abilities. Symbolically flora
and fauna in close proximity to water were thought to inhabit the psychic realm
and inspire the imagination. Magically Willow is used in New Moon magick,
creativity, fertility, love divination, protection, healing and female rites of
passage. A wand made of Willow wood can be used for protection during
underworld journeys, to promote more vivid dreams and to draw down the Moon.
Witches brooms are traditionally bound with the branch of a Willow.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Willow bark contains salicylic acid
which is used to make aspirin. Willow bark infusions have long been used as a
remedy for rheumatism, fever and chills. Willow sap applied directly to the
skin is an acne remedy. Boiling Willow bark and leaves in water to create a
strong decoction and applied once cooled to the scalp is a remedy for dandruff.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Willow is extremely flexible. It can
bend into the most extreme poses without snapping. This is a powerful metaphor

the path of retrieval. Follow the labyrinth trail, connect with the power of
wisdom and the rhythm of your soul, and return to the ordinary world
strengthened. You will find that your awareness of your purpose is stronger and

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the "Wisdom of Trees," Jane Gifford
says the Willow encourages us to express deeply buried feelings so as to ease
sadness through tears and the grieving process. The Willow reminds us that
sometimes we need to let go completely, to surrender to the watery world of the
subconscious and emotions; So that we may be led to a deeper understanding of
our inner-most feelings, hidden motives and secret desires and fears. Suppressed
and unacknowledged emotions can lead to energetic imbalances and stress, which can
lead to illness. The Willow helps us acknowledge that within every loss is the
potential for something new.</span></span></div>

teach what we need to learn,” really! Our experience, process and
transformation inspires us to share and inspire others to reach for the stars. It ignites our passion and creativity. In a sense all creativity is ignited by
a passion for discovery. The creative process offers a spectrum of lesson
opportunities. The more passionate the creator becomes about self-discovery and
self-mastery, the longer the path, the greater the challenge, the deeper the
experience, the more developed the innate gifts, and the more expanded and
connected the resulting being becomes. This drive has an Aries flavour. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

spiritual evolution status of another being? Aries is competitive by nature.
Used most powerfully this Aries-flavoured drive can be used to propel us forward
on the path towards becoming the greatest version of ourselves. Used in a less
productive manner (long-term) this brings out the worst kind of competition,
the ego-</span><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">fueled</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> spiritual evolution game. Nothing wrong with a healthy ego, in
my opinion, but when the ego is disowned or projected it becomes like a raging beast which fills our
mind with all manner of distorted thoughts, driven by anything lurking in
denied and disowned parts of our being.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my
experience the assessment of status of somebody’s spiritual evolution is usually
based upon things like their current challenges. Let’s say Bob is going through
some kind of breakdown. Betty thinks, and maybe even says, “Oh I already had a
breakdown and recovered, I’m more spiritually evolved than Bob.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

event, near-death experience or trauma to evolve to their next level, though
for some of us it feels like </span><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">we've</span><span style="line-height: 107%;"> had one thing after another. Bob may have been on his path for a long time and been in a really aware and
expanded state of being when he began to go through his breakdown, while
Betty’s breakdown may have been what took her out of her old life and put her
on her spiritual path. How can you compare?<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Who can
tell who is where by when they had their breakdown? These challenges or lessons
are merely spokes on the Great Wheel. We don’t all do the spokes in the same
order. Some people do not do every spoke in a lifetime, some do a few spokes
over and over again. Ultimately the path to spiritual evolution and
self-mastery is unique for everyone and when we let go of comparison and
judgement we leap forward on our path. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

When the right brain predominates everything – humans, animals, plants, the
spiritual, and physical worlds – is interdependent aspects of one living being.
The right brain sees time as cyclic and is audial and intuitive. The left brain
is masculine, linear, logical, and visual. “It has been prevalent in the
analytical, technological and scientific intellectualism of modern times.” (Demetra
George) The right brain focuses on how things are alike while the left brain
sees the differences. According to George, left brain dominance sees a
separation between self and others, between us and them. Taken to extremes this
attachment to self as being external to others results in feelings of
isolation, fear, and disconnectedness.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #7030a0; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The ancients saw time in terms of
cycles; The Lunar cycle; The Solar cycle; The birth, life, death, rebirth
cycle. Now, time is measured and thought of by most in the developed world as
being linear. Cycles are circular, beginnings are also endings. Something dies
but something else is born. Energy is transformed from one thing into another;
nothing is lost. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

ourselves to others, judging others and competing is a pretty left brain thing
to do. Seeing everything in terms of oneness, win-win and interconnected, as
taught on the spiritual path (though not always practiced), is a natural
function of the right brain. Perhaps an important step towards spiritual evolution is, at least in part,
the return to right-brain dominance; the return to seeing EVERYTHING as interdependent
aspects of one living being. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

lessons, challenges, gifts and life purpose are multi-faceted and part of how we are made. We
can only address them up to the level we have reached on the spiral. As The
Great Wheel spins onward and spirals ever upwards, back towards the source of
all things, we also spiral upwards, addressing each spoke on the wheel destined
for us again and again if necessary, or not, we can always resist. We can
always choose to try and stay unaware or try and go back to sleep. Some are
quite successful, or appear to have been thus far. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

every cycle, including the Great Wheel. In the Lunar phase the shadow
phase is represented by the Balsamic Moon, the last few days of the waning Moon
and just before the New Moon. We can run from our shadow for the rest of our
days, it’s our choice, but choosing to address our shadow when it is brought to
our attention is the fast track way to unlocking our creative power. When we
allow ourselves to acknowledge what makes us feel uncomfortable with ourselves and
others, and why, we are able to make more conscious choices as to what no
longer serves us, what is no longer in alignment with us and our purpose. The sahdow is not bad or good, it is just what we are denying, or rejecting, or what hasn't been brought into our conscious awareness yet. Sometimes what we are disowning and denying are our gifts and power. If we
refuse to look at it, we won’t ever release it, heal it and become empowered by
the gifts in the lessons learnt and challenges faced. It will keep coming back,
no matter how much love and light we talk and sprinkle. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

hours before the Aries New Moon. It is still the Balsamic or Dark Phase of the
Lunar Cycle. The Shadow is likely to have come up for a review of something
that needs to be owned, healed or released in the last day or so. It has for
me. Perhaps you don’t recognize the energy that shows us what needs to be
healed, released or owned as the shadow. It truly matters not what you call it,
but allowing it to complete the breakdown of the old so that the energy may be
transformed into the new is powerful creatively. That is what working
consciously with creative cycles is about. This is more than just any New Moon.
The shifts that have taken place since the Solar Eclipse, March Equinox, and
Lunar Eclipse have been extremely powerful, even if we can’t see evidence of
them in the physical just yet. We are different as a result, whether we are aware or not. We are in a position to seed the new with beautiful possibilities as never before.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

moon wanes and makes her last square to the Sun we find the old and no longer
useful being broken down to be transformed into new seeds for sewing at the Aries/Dragon/Willow/Sea
Serpent New Moon next week. The last quarter moon is in Capricorn. The last
Pluto and Uranus square continues to slowly separate. Mercury’s square to the
Moon approaches as Mercury’s conjunction to the Sun separates. It’s only after
I finished writing the blog entry below that I realized why Saturn (Capricorn’s
ruler) and Mercury themes and archetypes have been at the forefront of my mind.
The Last Lunar Square is associated with bringing about a crisis in
consciousness, an inner revolt which is precipitated by the breakdown of useless
forms and structures. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As I
began to think about the themes on my mind as the Last Lunar Square approaches,
I was reminded of the performance artist Marina Abramović. She has allowed the
public to poke, probe and abuse her while she lay prone. As she explained in an
interview for The Guardian, she deals with what she calls “true reality.” She
is not acting. Nothing is fake. The emotions are real. The knives, guns, and
fire used, for example, are real. The blood, the wounds, both physical and
psychological, are real. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

week, since the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse last week, I have come to the
conclusion that many of us have been suffering for our lives, not unlike the
way Marina Abramović suffers for her art. There is something poetic and
beautiful about intensely sensitive experiences, and there are many wonderful
lessons to be learnt, but at some point the gifts wane, while the challenges
remain. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I have really been immersed in my own process and not so aware of the collective this last week, but I imagine others are in the process of letting go of outmoded ways of being and shifting too. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A few
old patterns have been repeating lately and I am trying to deal with them
differently. My biggie this lifetime is my energetic boundaries. Living without
boundaries or energetic buffering space is like being a performance artist, all
the time. This applies to empaths and sensitives alike. There are many
astrological aspects that create intense sensitivity and Neptune transits, in
particular, can heighten sensitivity, by dissolving our boundaries for their
duration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">From a
personal astrological perspective, Neptune is opposite Saturn in my natal chart
which, in a nutshell, means I have no container; My boundaries/structure (Saturn)
are dissolved by Neptune (the dissolver). It’s simply the way I was made and no
well-meaning advice like, “just block it out” has proven helpful. The only
thing that helped was when my Astrologer, the lovely <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KellysAstrology?fref=ts">Kelly Surtees</a>, said I was
fortunate, unlike many Saturn opposite Neptune natives, because the planet
Mercury’s placement in my chart provides me with an opportunity to create space
around me, a boundary of sorts, through communication; I just have to get it
working for me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My
astrology teacher, the late and inspiring Parampara Hughes, said Mercury was
the key to my chart; Everything leads back to my natal Mercury. Mercury rules
communication. Mercury is the only God able to travel freely between the
Underworld, the Earth plane, and the Heavens, and as such is called the
Messenger. My natal Mercury is in my 9<sup>th</sup> house, the house of
spirituality and higher learning. Writing these blog entries is helping me finally
establish some energetic space around me.</span></div>

you don’t have the usual boundary, to “know thyself” becomes a lesson of monumental
proportions, as well as a lesson of monumental importance. I have had many dark
nights of the soul, and spiritual emergencies, breakdowns, astral attachments,
mysterious physical/energetic ailments, intense visions and/or dreams and so
on, on and off, for as long as I can remember. Who knows if it was all my
stuff? Now I am finally starting to find a way to stand my energetic ground and
lay down my piece/peace first. I know the value of my own worth, I know what is
mine and what isn't! Staying alive and sane depended on me working myself out. So
now there is no more disowning what is mine or taking responsibility for what
isn't mine, whether it be energy or knowledge, arrogance, ignorance, wisdom or
power. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Perhaps some other sensitives and empaths are finding space around
themselves too? If you are struggling with your sensitivity and empathic nature remember, you were made perfectly and there is a way to create an energetic buffer zone, you just need to discover your way. After all, sensitivity is a SUPERPOWER it's a matter of finding a way to get the energy working for you rather than being used by it!! One of the keys to unlocking my SENSITIVITY SUPERPOWER is through the Dakini!</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">For
many years I have been at a loss for how to describe a powerful creative force I
feel pulsing through me sometimes. I first remember feeling it in this powerful way over
twenty years ago. When it first came I would experience panic attacks. Each one
would be less intense than the previous one and after a while I realized that
the symptoms of the panic attack were actually my physiological response to a
dimensional shift I was becoming increasingly aware of experiencing. Fast
forward until the last few years. Every time I have wondered what to call this
force I have heard what sounded like the word “daikin.” I thought I was hearing
daikon, the Japanese name for a type of radish. Until I read about the Dakini
recently, I thought my guidance was having a joke with me.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: purple; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There
are many ways to look at the layers of the multi-dimensional nature of our
beings. From an astrological perspective we can say there is a personal story
perspective and an archetypal perspective on planetary
energies. I’m a fan of a more archetypal perspective and interpretation because
that is where I have discovered the most illuminating answers for why I am
wired as I am, why I attract certain experiences, and why my interests and
passions are what they are, but no archetype in my chart provided me with a
satisfying explanation for the Dakini energy I had no name for until this current
Lunar Phase.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

get our natal and ever-evolving astro-energies working for us we transcend the
personal stories. It is as though me live in the center of our chart and only
an extremely intense transit can throw us off balance. Next we face the
challenge of our archetypal stories. Once we have our archetypal energies
working for us we are able to transcend our archetypal stories. Most have us
have only sipped the occasional archetypal transcendence. Some are able to
transcend for longer periods sometimes experiencing frying our nervous system
through information and energy overload. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the many planetary energies are frequencies being broadcast from within the
Earth and from beyond our solar system. These frequencies are increasing. The Earth’s
Schumann Resonance is one such measurable and increasing frequency which has reportedly
reached the same frequency used by scientists to spontaneously repair DNA sequences. Read what Lia Scallon wrote about the Schumann Resonance recently <a href="http://www.soundsofsirius.com/the-schumann-frequencies/">here</a>. I
wrote about the Earth deciding to level-up frequency-wise last blog entry and
was thrilled to read confirmation from a few sources a few days later. It’s all a bit fry, rest, heal,
leap, fry, rest, heal, leap for many of us… with no sign of it slowing down… We
are all leveling-up!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

dancing in the sky. Whether physically dancing or imagining myself dancing,
when enjoyable music played, I danced with the Dakini. From this state of being
many things have been revealed to me or remembered. I have felt expanded into indescribable states of awareness.</span></div>

met all faces of the Dakini at some point; Angel; Ghoul; Wisdom Keeper; Semi-wrathful
woman... I have met them in both spirit and the physical, because sometimes we meet somebody who plays the Dakini for our growth;sometimes we play the Dakini for others too, often without our awareness. Perhaps you recognize the
Dakini too? Perhaps you have always danced with her too?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

while traveling through the lofty spheres there was an assurance that we are in
safe hands, but that no outside force can save us from ourselves; We must save
ourselves. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Yesterday the forest
behind my house was uprooted and fell before my eyes with strong winds. The trees
were mainly pine and were the tallest in all the areas of forest around where I
live. I have watched these trees billow in the breeze for 3 years and marveled
at them still standing, knowing that pine trees grow tall quickly but do not
have deep roots. Understanding their destiny and having a multitude of things I
needed to prepare for holidays, I still watched in numb immobility as they
fell. This morning everything was covered in snow. As a friend wrote on FB, the
snow cleared the chaotic energy the destruction the wind had created the day
before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This event has had a
great impact on me for a few reasons; These trees had become my friends (as an
old friend pointed out); the landscape around me completely changed before my
eyes, in a matter of hours; And I was reminded of both the awesome force of
nature, as well as my inability to alter other being’s chosen path. I can only
hold space.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At the New Moon Solar
Eclipse/Aries Equinox last week I wrote about Equinoxes being about balance and
justice, particularly this recent one two weeks ago. The Vernal Equinox, according
to the Druids represented the free will of humans. Humans are accountable for
their actions, because they are capable of altering their circumstances (unlike
all other animals on Earth) but are still part of the evolutionary wheels that
affect all animals on Earth according to the Drudic evolutionary system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Equinox energies seeded
the Pisces New Moon and the Solar Eclipse seeded the Aries Equinox, and the New
Solar Cycle which began on March 20th. This Libra Full Moon Lunar Eclipse
further expands on themes of balance, justice, accountability and true purpose.
The <span style="color: #262626; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 217;">April 4<sup>th</sup>
Lunar Eclipse at 14° Libra at 12:05 pm GMT/UT belong to Saros Series 17 South. This family of
eclipses, says Bernadette Brady, brings sudden success in personal relationship
matters and group projects. Thinking of matters of love, Happiness in love,
good news concerning relationships or creative expression with a group are all
associated with this eclipse family.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We plant seeds at the
beginning of a cycle, and halfway through the cycle we see what we have sewn in
all its glory, potential or disappointment. The Full Moon is the half way point
of the lunar cycle which began at New Moon. Leading up to this Full Moon
culmination, we are being encouraged to see what we have planted. The Solar
Cycle culmination will be at the Libra Equinox in September. After the
culmination of the cycle we can continue to nurture our glory and potential and
let our disappointments be transformed into something new at the next cycle, or
we can resist. Resistance continues to become increasingly challenging.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As so many have been
saying and writing, some for many, many, years, this is a time of both a great
beginning and an ending. Endings and beginnings happen simultaneously as one
cycle ends and another begins. We are living in unprecedented times and we all
chose to take part. We can party or cry, thrive or fade, build, create or
destroy… We can do all of these and more, depending on what mood we are in, but
the way I see it, many things will continue to change and shift, die and be
created anew no matter what part we choose to take. It’s up to each person how
they choose to perceive these changes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Some people have said
Mother Earth, the Goddess, is angry but I feel the following story explains better
what is coming and what is known by many:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Europeans who built upon
what looked like an open plain were laughed at by the local indigenous
Australians. The Europeans were told that they were in a lake, and when the
rains came they would be flooded. The settlers laughed at what they thought was
complete nonsense. There wasn’t a drop of water in sight. Some time went by,
years. The Aboriginals continued to laugh and shake their heads and the
Europeans continued to think the warning was a load of nonsense. Then the
drought broke. Within hours the lake was full and the settlement was flooded. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And so it is at this
time. There have been ample warnings and discourse on topics and issues such as
the environment, local and global economic systems, banking and business
practices, inequality, our health, our healthcare, our food and water supply,
our farming practices, our government’s agendas, our energy sources, our
cultural focuses and obsessions… I could go on and on… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">These warnings and
discussions have come from a spectrum of “experts” such as scientists,
economists, psychologists, environmentalists, farmers, whistle-blowers, indigenous
tribes from around the planet, visionaries, prophets, channels, astrologers,
writers, artists and some people who just see what is out of balance. Not to
forget many ancient prophecies which harbor many similar warnings. Some of us have
listened, some continue to ignore the warnings and information, or do not
believe it. Some have made changes, and are advocating change on many levels, but
on the whole, we are in a precarious position on many fronts. Many feel
powerless to change things. Change is upon us regardless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As a teenager I became
conscious of seeing time and energy in terms of a spiral. I have seen and
experienced many things since, as many of us have, but one of the most intense
visions I have ever experienced was in early 2009 when I was hurtled in a very
tight spiral formation through an increasingly intense experience due to increasing
frequency. The pressure was beyond anything I can describe in words. I marveled
that I was still alive. I travelled roughly forty years through energetic
space-time. The intensity and frequency continued to increase. Everything
continued to get brighter and brighter–blindingly bright, but beautifully so. I
was travelling as through the eye of a needle, as has been foretold. Very cool
that before finishing this blog entry I just happened to visit a museum that
had a DeLorean DMC, the car Marty McFly travelled with into the future in the 1980s
“Back to the Future” movie Trilogy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There was no
possibility of the thread missing the needle’s eye in my experience. There was
no choice other than to make the journey, or leave the physical. One goes
through, we all go through. I knew in that moment we were in for some intense
energies in the near future. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now here we are, since
at least 21.12.12, and gaining momentum every day. Many will find this continuing
experience too much to bare energetically. Many are struggling on some level.
Many have already decided not to travel through with us. Some of us are feeling
the intensity and are struggling some days but are great other days. Many seem
oblivious and are carrying on as normal, but take a closer look; many of these
are the people deeply invested in their opinions. They are clinging to what no
longer serves themselves or the planet. It matters not. Let the sleepers sleep,
as they say, but if you are aware, there is no ignoring it now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The intense pressure
I felt in my experience was that of resistance to letting go of what is not
aligned with our truth. If the intense energies and increasing brightness do
not strip away our resistance, the falling away of the old world, as everything
strives for balance and justice, surely will. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What I understood
during my experience was that once we let go of our resistance and allow
ourselves to align with our true being and purpose we have all the space we can
imagine to expand into. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It is from this
expanded place that our creative abilities are most powerful. From here the new
and true are created in their full glory - our kingdom of gold - but from here we
must be most responsible and aware. Once we are here a little nudge into the
old is like an earthquake energetically. We must draw upon the acquired
knowledge and wisdom of our many lifetimes of experience. We must be gentle,
compassionate, empathetic and loving or risk creating unnecessary havoc.
Fortunately this is the expanded space of those living in alignment with who
they truly are with awareness and consciousness most of the time, and not a
play space for those living out of alignment and unconsciously, whatever claims
are made. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

God and Goddess dimension that is our promise, a reward for our self-mastery,
an extremely hard won battle we fight as our fractured selves so we may
remember how to heal ourselves and become whole once more. Before we deliver
ourselves into this state of expanded whole being, we are as though coal being
transformed into diamonds through the force of intense pressure. Even if we live
mostly in expanded states, any out of alignment creation will have us back in
the pressure-zone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Some of us are
feeling expanded, some of us are experiencing extreme pressure, some of us are
desperately holding onto our old beliefs, some of us are physically sick, some
of us are burying our heads in the sand, and some of us are feeling like we are
experiencing all of these and more, at once. It matters not where we are and
what we are experiencing. We are all playing our part in this momentous
beginning and ending where we are travelling through the eye of the needle; United
as a single spiraling thread; part of a spiraling consciousness living on a
planet rotating around our Sun which is part of a solar system spiraling through
a galaxy, spiraling through a universe…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

terms of levels, the Earth is supporting us and encouraging us to find our
place and dig deep roots. She is holding space but she is also striving to get
back into balance, continuing to raise her frequency/vibration to do so. From
expanded lofty spheres we are loved and encouraged to expand our consciousness
to align with our promise. These two dimensions, let’s call them Heaven and
Earth to keep it simple, are moving together in terms of frequency and
alignment. In-between is where the action is, the pressure, the drama, the physically
manifesting endings and beginnings. We are being transformed, or being stripped
of what is not in alignment with our truth in preparation to live in Heaven on
Earth, so to speak. many can feel the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual,
light-body changes or a combination of them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

comfort in knowing that it is already done. I have seen it, as have others, and
it is wonderful. There is work to do, but there is fun to be had too. Another
source of comfort has been experiencing my soul’s enjoyment even when my human
self is sometimes struggling. I regularly check-in and see how my soul is
experiencing my life. This always lifts me up, back into the lofty spheres,
back into the party where we are all dancing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wow! I do not know if it is because we are in the midst of Eclipse Season but I am feeling everything really intensely lately; the good, the bad and the ugly, or so they are called. I have found it is best for me to think of what I feel, think and experience in terms of alignment, non-alignment, resistance and acceptance rather than in terms of good and bad. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the conclusion of the New Moon Solar Eclipse last week I felt very calm. After a couple of weeks of super intense energy building up it was a welcome relief, but yesterday everything become intense for me again. I feel it is resistance to what needs to be processed and resistance to what is in alignment, but because of old scars, all feels like too much to embrace in some moments!!! From what I have read and heard from others, there is more of the same out there for many, even if we are feeling it on different days.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the New Moon seeds are planted for the New Lunar Cycle and beyond. This most recent New Moon was a total eclipse and proceeded the Equinox, a powerful time when light and dark, night and day, are experienced as equal on Earth. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As the Moon moved into its Crescent Phase, New Moon post-eclipse calm subsided as what was released at New Moon arose to challenge the old, "in a more or less intense struggle." (Dane Rudhyar, "The Lunation Cycle," 1967) My experience has been a more intense struggle this Lunar Cycle. It is not so much an outer struggle but an inner one.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since the New Moon Eclipse I have been thinking about </span><a href="http://www.viva.tv/musikvideo/63155-david-guetta-what-i-did-for-love-lyric-video-feat-emeli-sande" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">WHAT I DID FOR LOVE</a>. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many years ago I went through a very challenging time and what pulled me through was my belief in my purpose for being on Earth; to serve no matter how painful the experience for me personally, because I loved this planet and everyone on it. Since then I have come to appreciate that my purpose is more about being all that I am; Here; NOW! I feel that is everybody's purpose. We need only be who we are, we need only do what brings us fulfillment and peace and/or joy. When we are fulfilled, present and embodying all we are, we are Sacred Pagodas, as a matter of course. Sacred Pagodas hold space for others, simply by being. No self-sacrificing pain required.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: magenta; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sacred Pagoda</span></div>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead of feeling fulfilled I have felt drained through giving away parts of myself without acknowledgement from those receiving them, or even awareness, let alone gratitude, or so it sometimes has felt. By the same token I have probably taken something in return, without acknowledgement, or gratitude, or awareness. I am truly deeply sorry.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the last blog I wrote about tough love, the importance of ending martyrdom and the need to be needed, and drawing on and anchoring our own truth through connection with our personal body of experience. The last few days as I have tried to release old patterns I have been brought face to face with old hurts and scars, ancient hurts and scars. I thought I had processed them but here they are again. Perhaps you can relate. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The belief systems coming up to be reviewed/released now, in order for the New to take root and sprout, were established on foundations lined with these hurts and scars still operating within our beings on some level. The belief systems are not necessarily "wrong." They may just need to be re-potted, or weeded rather than ripped out, but in order for the next step to be clear the old hurts and scars must be processed first. As the words to the song in the link above say, "stitch myself and we do it again," but we do not want to do it again if it means stitching ourselves up. If there is something worth repeating we need to be free and fulfilled simultaneously.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Any intense struggle now, internally or externally, is so we can consciously choose to nurture the viable and potentially life-fulfilling shoots at First Quarter Moon, which we seeded at New Moon, in the soil we are making fertile through our processing and healing or releasing of our hurts and scars at the Crescent Moon. The First Quarter Moon begins at 6:42 am UT/GMT, Friday 27th March. I am writing this blog entry during the Crescent Moon Phase. At the very least we need to become consciously aware of what is still hurting within us so that we may work through it in the perfect moment, whenever that may be experienced. In the perfect moment, when we offer no resistance, miracles happen.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was asked yesterday what was going on with me? My answer went something like this: "I am resisting feeling my intense feelings. Resisting is bringing up the past. The past has some hurts I don't want to re-live. I am all shook up. Thanks for asking." In truth it was a perfect moment and that conversation helped me appreciate that if I just allow myself to feel intensely, without trying to control anything, without resisting anything, a miracle would happen. It kind of did. A little energetic treasure and personal breakthrough. I brought in a little bit more of myself. Today I am sitting with the awareness of my little shift. My way of dealing with a few things going on around me has shifted. I can feel the waves of change this creates and I'm standing strong in it for a change, really anchoring it rather than being swept away by the resistance of others.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As we move into First Quarter Moon Phase, what do we want to nurture into maturity? What needs to be released or healed? It can be a battering process but the creations that will take root and grow deeper roots and reach for the sky are worth rising to the challenge. They will support our new foundations. We will become unshakable in our truth, no matter what is flung at us, consciously or unconsciously. When we start to anchor beside each other, together in our personal truths, we create bridges or foundations that cannot be eroded, like these trees in Avebury, England, pictured below. Perched on a mound, the roots of these trees prevent the Earth beneath them from eroding. This further elevates them as the gullies either side of them deepen with weathering. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About 10 years ago I was inspired by the words of a healer/clairvoyant who said to me as I was leaving a session, "Lay down your piece first. Stop allowing yourself to be squeezed into places of other people's choosing. Be all that you truly are." I wrote the following words in a poem in 2008:</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lay it down first</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That puzzle piece that's you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Squeezing into spaces left</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is an unwise thing to do</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As valuable as anything</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That piece uniquely you</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So lay down your piece first</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To yourself you should be true</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Onward we go. Our choice lies in what we take with us and what we choose not to take into the new, but remember, what no longer serves us will become increasingly difficult to hold onto, and what we resist embracing about ourselves will persist until we own it. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our path will continue to narrow in terms of alignment and grow more intense in terms of vibrancy and frequency </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">- eventually there is only room for our truth anchored within our own being. The wonderful and perhaps miraculous thing is that when we embody this, there is "space" beyond anything we could have imagined. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am reminded of Patrick Swayze's line in Dirty Dancing, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Look, spaghetti arms. This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don't go into yours, you don't go into mine. You gotta hold the frame." </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.7199993133545px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No more spaghetti arms. No more taking what isn't ours or giving away parts of ourselves. Time to hold the frame. Let's dance. LOVE!!!</span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aries begins at the March Equinox. Aries is the
first sign of the zodiac, and the first
day of Spring in the northern hemisphere. The symbol for Aries is the Ram. This year also happens to be the Chinese Year of the Ram. This can be seen as supercharging Aries energy. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">Aries is

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of us celebrate the New Year and make New
Year’s resolutions on January 1<sup>st </sup>the first day of the Gregorian
Calendar. Energetically and symbolically the Vernal Equinox is a far more
supportive and powerful time to set the tone for a new year, to leap into a new
cycle and new projects and ideas. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The month of Aries is a time which supports new beginnings,
new ways of being and a new world where living our dreams becomes possible. With
Aries supporting us, success is likely because “all that binds the Ram’s
attention is the power of the will to shape a life” of its own will. (Steven Forrest, "The Inner Sky")</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Demetra George published a couple books in the 1990s about the Dark Goddesses and the Dark Phase of cycles: "Mysteries Of the Dark Moon" and "Finding Our Way Through the Dark." In the case of the Lunar Cycle, the Dark Phase is the Balsamic Moon Phase, the few days before the New Moon. Demetra George explains that the month leading up to the Winter Solstice is a Dark Phase, every Cycle has a Dark Phase including every Astrological Cycle and the Menstrual Cycle. </span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A Dark Phase is a time to turn within, review the cycle and prepare to birth the new. In the case of the Solar Cycle, according to Western Astrology, the time of Pisces is the Dark Phase of a Cycle which begins each year at the March Equinox, when light and dark are equal and Winter becomes Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. </span></span></div>

Friday's New Moon is in the last degree of Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac. Thirteen hours later the Sun moves into Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac. In a sense, the total Solar Eclipse bridges the old and new solar cycles.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 21.3333339691162px;">This solar cycle's dark phase ends with a total solar eclipse. What a blast to power up the new and blast out of the old!!! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">This Eclipse is an especially powerful time to review what we would like to carry forward into the new and what we should or must leave behind. </span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Eclipses are powerful energetically. The
full effects or outcomes of themes and events triggered and precipitated by eclipses are usually not experienced until four months or so after the eclipse. An
eclipse season includes one lunar and one solar eclipse, though there is
sometimes a third eclipse in a season. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each eclipse pair (a solar and Lunar eclipse in
the same season) belong to the same family of eclipses or Saros Cycle. The
March 20<sup>th</sup> Solar Eclipse at 29° Pisces and the April 4<sup>th</sup> Lunar
Eclipse at 14° Libra belong to Saros Series 17 South. This family of eclipses,
says Bernadette Brady in her book "The eagle and the Lark", brings sudden success in personal relationship matters
and group projects. Thinking of matters of love, Happiness in love, good news
concerning relationships or creative expression with a group are all associated
with this eclipse family.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

lifted from me”; “I want to consciously and consistently feel joyful and
fulfilled”; “I want to nurture gentleness so that it becomes a stronger part of
my being”; “I want to surrender all anxieties into the hands of a healing
higher power”; “I want to effortlessly find myself focused on the inner peace

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In preparing to write this blog the last few weeks I have had many inner discussions about many ideas. I wondered how I could bridge old worlds and new worlds. I wondered what information I could find to make this more interesting for me to write and for others to read. There are thirteen new moons, two eclipse seasons and one solar cycle each year. It can feel a bit same-same even though it is anything but same-same, especially in the times we are living in now.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Energies are wild just now. It feels as though anything could happen at any moment. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What can we use to seed the new, anchor the new into our beings and bridge the old and new worlds many of us still feel split between? In Celtic Astrology, both this New Moon Solar Eclipse and the Vernal Equinox happen in the same Celtic lunar sign of the Alder Tree. Like Aries, the planetary ruler of the Alder tree month is Mars (though another source listed Neptune as ruler), but in Celtic Astrology, the Vernal Equinox falls in the fourth month of the calendar, not the first. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was looking for a bridge and it turns out that due to its water-resistance, the timber of the Alder tree was traditionally used in bridge-making. In fact, it was used to build the water-covered foundations of the city of Venice. When immersed in water the timber of the Alder tree turns hard as stone. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Medicinally Alder bark was used to treat, among other things, inflammation and stiffness. Alder remedies enable us to move forward with flexibility and face up to what we have been avoiding.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Alder tree produces strong coloured red and yellow dyes and was associated with the art of fabric making and the goddesses of spinning. Spinning new worlds...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pith of the Alder's green shoots are easily pushed out to make a whistle. Different length shoots bound together can make an instrument traditionally used to entice the Air elements. The superstition of "whistling up the wind" began with this tradition.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Alder tree protects physically, emotionally and spiritually. The Celts associated the Alder tree with both weapon and shield making and so it teaches when to take up the sword and when to take up the shield. The most important aspect of the warrior is intent. This is the key to success or failure. The Alder tree teaches the need to blend courage and strength with generosity of spirit and compassion. Most of us are not wielding swords and carrying shields into battle but Alder tree teaches discrimination and the need to see beneath the surface of things so we may know when to challenge things and when to hold our peace.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Alder tree is light in appearance but is strong. Like many trees, it is linked with the creation of humans. Irish legend says that the first man was made from an Alder tree and the first woman was made from a Rowan tree. This supports my belief that our deepest and truest essence is karmically, physically and spiritually linked with trees. </span></span></div>

The bacterium absorbs nitrogen from the air and makes it available to the Alder. The Alder provides the bacterium with sugars produced through photosynthesis. This mutually beneficially relationship improves the fertility of the soil where the Alder grows. The Alder is a pioneer species, which provides nitrogen rich soil to successional species, and as such Alder is often planted to re-colonize land with poor soil. It grows well from seed but only lives for sixty years or so.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: blue;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In Celtic Astrology the Vernal Equinox represents the equinoxial line of the moral world which is occupied by humans in their present life. This is an important line, "the line of liberty," which symbolizes humanity's free-will. The Autumnal Equinox</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> is its polarity and represents another aspect of free will. </span></span></div>

These days, in ritual zodiac, were times of balance or a state of equilibrium on Earth and in the Heavens. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">It feels as though the lead-up to this Equinox is a weighing of the scales of balance and accountability for human action and inaction. It is an opportunity to see more clearly where we need to find balance, both within and out in the world. The old structures are falling. We are called to create something New but there is work to do. There is a lot of work to do and if we want to contribute and realize our potential we must wake up fully and see what is within us, right before us, and further beyond. We must take action. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">The Equinox combined with New Moon seeding and wish time is an opportunity to sew seeds for the new by drawing on the characteristics and lessons of the Alder Tree. We can re-forest and create anew through symbiotic relationships that create fertile soil and strong foundations for future generations. With Alder tree seeds we can sew seeds of strength, discernment, compassion, flexibility and courage and face what needs to be faced, and do what needs to be done. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Demetra George proposed in the 1990s that the Goddess, as a cycle, is in a Dark Phase and has been for thousands of years; ever since the decline of Matriarchal societies and the rise and dominance of Patriarchy. She feels that the New Goddess Cycle will begin soon. Perhaps it is beginning now...</span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last week I had a dream about the New Moon. A blood red colour splashed across the darkened part of the Moon. It was not the Sun's light causing the colour change. The Moon is only able to reflect a slither of the Sun's light at the New Moon. It was coloured light from another source. I have been pondering its meaning every since. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This dream ties in with some visions I had over fifteen years ago. I saw blood-coloured moons, eclipses and worlds beings destroyed. During that time whenever I heard the song <a href="https://youtu.be/evRqK-PrW5o">"Silence" by Delerium ft. Sarah McLachlan</a> I would hear "burn her" being chanted in-between the lyrics. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I can listen to any version of the song without hearing "burn her," but it took many years to release the pattern at the root of the chanting. I believe it was a painful memory from the time of the burning of the witches. Perhaps the memory goes back thousands of years to the time of the rise of patriarchy and decline of goddess worship.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I watched the original official video clip for "Silence" for the first time yesterday. The video ties in with my interpretation of the blood-red New Moon dream. A woman and man are tied together, his right arm to her left arm and they are running. They both take the lead at different points, both stumble at different points, but they must run together because they are tied together. Only at the very end of the clip is the rope untied. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These dream and vision fragments, the video clip and "imagined" chanting are part of a larger story; the story of Goddess and God; woman and man. Their stories are intertwined. Both have led, both have fallen. Now as the New Goddess Cycle begins, or is about to begin, what will we re-vision? What will we choose to repeat? </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many say it is time for the goddess to take over, but is it wise to believe that Matriarchy would be better than Patriarchy? We tried that some millenia ago and there were women and matriarchal societies who abused their power and controlled men. Perhaps there is a third way, a path of integrating goddess and god...</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">AN represents the sacred union of Sun and Moon as one being. Since I was young I have felt that God and Goddess/woman and man must be able to stand side by side as equals if there is ever to be balance and harmony on this planet; And we must integrate the many facets of our beings to find inner balance and harmony to be able to stand side by side as equals. As within, so without. AN is a way to align, to re-vision, to integrate, to live in oneness. You can read about Solara's vision of manifesting the physical Heart of AN <a href="http://anvisible.com/">here</a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the colours of AN is magenta. In my dream the blood-red colour that was being projected onto the Moon's dark face turned magenta. I am choosing to interpret this as a healing vision rather than one of gloom and doom; From blood-shed and fear to love, wholeness and oneness. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is time to finally leave behind the old story and old world and create something new. It is time to finally heal the wounds of our falls from grace, in which ever way we lived them, and allow ourselves to be renewed. It is time to finally own what we have denied and suppressed; Whether it be our power or our shame, or both. It is time to finally heal and release wounds in the collective; wounds from past cataclysms, genocide, witch burning... the list goes on and while many shocking things continue, healing and releasing the past is the only way to do it differently in the new. Creating from our fractured wounded beings is very different from creating from our whole healed beings. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We must allow ourselves to face and heal through owning/releasing what is rising from shadow parts of self into our awareness. The shadow is merely what we suppress and deny. When we bring these shadow parts into the light of our awareness and see that a whole being contains light and dark and the mysterious/hidden as well as the known we begin truly integrating all aspects of our being. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This super power time is an opportunity for powerful healing, release and personal transformation. For some of us it will be a shock to realize that we have not done our own work. We may be able to talk the talk but if it is not rooted in our being because we have not been walking the walk and addressing our "stuff," we will be stumbling and desperately grasping for anything to hold onto now. The great news is that we can do our "stuff" nearly instantly under current energies, we need only be honest and real with ourselves and then, as if by magic, CLICK, everything we dream becomes possible! </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is becoming increasing clear who is all talk and glamour and who is real. It is also time to stop piggy-backing the talkers. No more enabling and feeding them our energy, knowledge and wisdom. No more saviours and martyrs. That was so last AGE. It is time for what may seem like tough love so the talkers can discover within themselves, their energy, knowing, intuition and capacity to gain self-knowledge and wisdom through their own body of experience. It is time for the enablers to stand on their own as well; to learn how to BE without thriving on being needed.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">True healers and teachers need only be who they are. Have you noticed those people who you walk away from feeling good and more balanced and maybe thinking about something in a new way? Did you notice they felt good too? They are the natural healers and teachers who have faced their stuff. They may not practice a healing modality or teach anything "special" but they may, or they may be the housewife next door, an old friend, the waiter, the school crossing guard, the old man walking his dog... Shared pearls of wisdom but not preaching, gentleness, compassion, integrity, humility, holding space for others to make their own choices are some of the shining qualities the natural true healers and teachers exhibit. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Last Quarter Moon is exact at 17:48 UT/GMT, Friday 13th March, 2015. The Moon is in Sagittarius, squaring the Sun in Pisces. Energetically squares create tension. The Moon is waning. Light and dark are equal, but light is declining. The Moon is in a position which allows only half of it to reflect the light of the Sun. The Lunar Cycle is in her last quarter and we begin preparing for a retreat and the new cycle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How are you feeling and what are you thinking about? What are you experiencing declining, waning, losing power or dying within you? What is remaining stable? What has roots to weather the tension, even a great storm? Only what is rooted within our core being and in alignment with our truth will remain. The rest will gently fall away or blow up in our faces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am writing this while the Moon is still in her Disseminating phase, approaching her Last Square and Balsamic/dark face. This morning, on my way to a friend's house for tea and meditation, I requested some insight into what I should write about for this Last Quarter Moon blog. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been feeling pretty clear and calm the last couple of days, but the moment I asked it was like a storm very unexpectedly erupted within me. Energy began to whirl and thoughts began to race. None of it made much sense. Perhaps it was personal, perhaps not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Chatting over tea was lovely but when we started our mediation I could not settle at all. Usually I get into the space easily even if my mind is active for a while. Today was very different for me. My stomach gurgled. The energy in my head and solar plexus swirled and poked all over the place. There were no thoughts, just one question: How would we know when to stop? We had a time constraint. I decided that the answer would appear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turned out quite a few answers appeared in the following few hours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just as my friend was stirring from her meditation a voice announced a countdown...10... 9...8... We looked at each other and laughed!!! Her son's rocket toy had spontaneously turned itself on, in perfect time. This reminded me that my television has been spontaneously turning itself on the last week. One day it might turn itself on 3 or 4 times in an hour, the next it doesn't turn on by itself at all. I am still waiting to see if there is something deeper I need to understand. The answer will appear in perfect time, perhaps when the right question is asked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We meditate beside my friend's altar. She had a very pretty white feather on her altar today which I commented on. Apparently there had been two but one had vanished. We discussed an issue that required some clarity. I looked down and spotted a feather. It wasn't the missing feather, but a third white feather which had found its way into the room, as feathers sometimes do. My friend said she had seen it earlier but had not really registered, so had not picked it up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What really hit me in that moment was timing. There is a time and season for all things, even things which are right under our nose. When we push for answers and results, we only make life harder for ourselves. Answers always come in perfect time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Early in January I noticed two fallen trees in the forest nearby my house. They had been uprooted in a storm and one had landed on top of the other, forming a cross; An intersection; A symbolic cross road. What I found amazing was that the trees fell between many other tress without damaging them, and the distance between the two trees on either side of the intersection point is less than 2 meters. I found this amazing. Perfect placement. I had many ideas about what this might mean symbolically. I am still undecided.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Two days ago I saw a man with a tractor looking at the logs. My heart sank knowing that their time was over. Yesterday I saw that the logs had been chopped up. I could not bring myself to take a photo. I knew that a dream was dying, a perfect moment had passed, an opportunity had been missed. Today I know the logs will have been moved and stacked by the side of the path for removal. Soon they will be taken to be made into wood-chips or something else. One thing becomes another. This is part of the process of a cycle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And this is what happens as the Moon wanes from Last Quarter to dark moon and we prepare for a new cycle; Wishes and dreams, hopes and ideas that do not have strong roots and are not in alignment with us will fade, or die, or be removed, or blow-up in our face; In perfect time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We can mourn, we can cry, we can even celebrate what has not come to pass. We can do whatever we need to do. Some things will have strong roots and will remain. We can celebrate or mourn this too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will walk in another part of the forest today. A shift must be made, a new way of doing things found. I will take that step symbolically but I expect change in the outer world will come slower, or certainly in perfect time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Likely I will retreat for the next week; In preparation for the new Astrological and Lunar cycle; which begins with the Aries Equinox. The Equinox is preceded by a New Moon Solar Eclipse in the very last degree of the zodiac, 29° Pisces. Super Power Wish time, but more about that next week.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime I want to say that the coming Solar Eclipse belongs to a beautiful family of Eclipses. <span style="color: #262626; line-height: 107%;">The March 20</span><sup style="color: #262626; line-height: 107%;">th</sup><span style="color: #262626; line-height: 107%;"> Solar Eclipse at 29°
Pisces and the April 4</span><sup style="color: #262626; line-height: 107%;">th</sup><span style="color: #262626; line-height: 107%;"> Lunar Eclipse at 14° Libra belong to Saros
Series 17 South. This family of eclipses, says Bernadette Brady, brings sudden
success in personal relationship matters and group projects. Thinking of
matters of love, Happiness in love, good news concerning relationships or
creative expression with a group are all associated with this eclipse family.</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As the song that was playing in my head yesterday says, <a href="https://youtu.be/YdwPYuC5Y4k">Don't Believe the HYPE!</a> The gloom and doom reportedly expected at the Solar Eclipse in a couple of articles I have read is not supported by the astro-energies of the coming Solar Eclipse. Let us consciously release and close the old cycles with LOVE, not fear. Let us consciously seed the New Astrological Year and Lunar cycle at the New Moon Solar Eclipse/Equinox on March 20th with LOVE.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Virgo Full Moon is exact at 20:05 (pm) GMT/UT on Thursday 5th March, 2015.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really don't know what I expected to feel at this full moon, but not this. And yet, it makes perfect sense upon further reflection. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since re-starting my astro-energy blog a few weeks ago I have paid extra close attention to the moon. In my efforts to better understand cycles generally and find a healthy outlet for my cyclic nature and sensitivity to psychic, mental and emotional imprints as a Cancer ascendant and Moon in the first house native, writing about lunar cycles was an obvious choice. So here I am writing my first full moon blog feeling quite frankly, a bit stretched and strange. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Moon is fully illuminated in the sky now. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Full Moon marks the completion of half a Lunation Cycle which began at New Moon about two weeks ago. We planted seeds at New Moon which have taken root and grown.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Perhaps these seeds were consciously made wishes. Perhaps we were busy and didn't notice what we were processing leading up to New Moon, but processing and the planting of ideas and hopes and dreams we were doing none the less. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At Full Moon, we are able to see more clearly the form or vehicle we have created through which we are to express the vision or wish seeded at New Moon. The metaphorical tree is reaching towards the sky. Will our trees bare the fruit of our wishes? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are being asked if our foundations are solid; our roots stable? Did we plant seeds in fertile soil? Does it matter? 2015 is the International Year of Soil. I think soil matters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel a bit like a portal between worlds as well as the worlds on either side of the portal. On one side is the shadow/dark. Here I can feel shame and a lack of self-worth. This is strong solar plexus energy stuff. This makes sense now I am thinking about it; Virgo rules assimilation and the solar plexus and has archetypal associations with purity. On the other side of the portal is a lighter better integrated state of being. It is shame-free and colourful. As I write, the lyrics to Joss Stone's <a href="http://youtu.be/wcpEte4plbw">Right To Be Wrong</a> are drifting towards me from the radio in my kitchen. Right on!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"The Moon has a face like the clock in the hall; She shines on thieves on the garden wall." </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">~ Robert Louis Stevenson </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just as under the midday Sun there is no shadow, the Full Moon illuminates all. No matter how hard we try and hide our "stuff" it will find some way to attract our attention under the influence of the Full Moon, especially when this stuff has the potential to be the saboteur of the manifestation of our wishes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Disowned "stuff" is the thief of inner-peace, harmony and purity of experience. There will be evidence in the material if we are out of alignment with our inner-peace. Anything that triggers our solar plexus, anger, mind racing with thoughts, indigestion and other uncomfortable experiences indicate something we need to bring into our conscious awareness. There may be other valid reasons for our uncomfortable experiences but more often than not these triggers and reactions are clear indicators that there is something which needs to be addressed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Virgo in play the energy drive is to assimilate and purify. Resistance to this process may be felt in the solar plexus region and digestion may be affected. An over-active, restless mind might be keeping you awake at this time. Try and use these restless times to process and digest what you are being shown through the themes of your thoughts. Notice how your body is feeling. This will help you stay present as you observe and process. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Further burying any shame or feelings of lack of self worth whether it be for mistakes made, misunderstandings, perceived inabilities or any known or unknown reason - past or present - only pollutes the soil in which our metaphorical tree is planted. Our dreams and wishes need to be nourished; As do the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our beings. How can we nourish ourselves when we are self-polluting with the "stuff" we are unable to face in ourselves. How can we manifest our wishes if we are not working to keep our soil healthy, our roots nourished? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Full Moon is a Lunar and Solar opposition and so "the other," as well as "the self," comes into focus. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How can we expect others to be honest and true with us if we are not being honest and true with ourselves, or worse, blame others for our shame or the situations that trigger feeling our lack of self-worth? This lunar cycle's New Moon was in Aquarius. Aquarius looks for win-win ideas and solutions. This is something worth keeping in mind at this time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Virgo strives for purity and perfection. Most Virgos I know are extremely hard on themselves. I'm really feeling this critical perfecting drive right now across all aspects of my being and life. I'm keeping myself out of the lack of self-worth and blame pit by reminding myself that we ALL have a right to be wrong. Our mistakes do indeed make us strong, as Joss Stone says in her song. At least they do when we are prepared to be honest with ourselves, take responsibility and learn from them. Everybody has a right to their own opinion but we all get to choose if we want to take another's opinion on as our own. This is a bigger and deeper issue and theme in some people's lives than others. Freedom comes with not minding what anybody else thinks and not imposing restrictions on ourselves because of lack of self-worth and shame. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The way to be colourful and feel free and "light," or unencumbered by our "stuff" right now, is to own our mistakes, acknowledge any feelings of unworthiness and finally release them. I am talking about the "stuff" that has been buried so deep we may not have noticed it until yesterday, or today. If you have not had this experience it may rise to the surface in the coming days, or you aren't needing to process anything for yourself or the collective at this time. In which case, just enjoy the ride!!!! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for the portal I spoke about earlier.... Well I'm not entirely sure how to describe it yet, but I do feel that once this solar plexus triggery-stuff is further processed, understood and assimilated in the collective, we will be more easily able to navigate between the different aspects of our being. Perhaps it is clearer to say that we will further integrate the different aspects of our being once we release the "stuff" we are currently being shown. This "stuff" is the what has been holding back or sabotaging the manifestation of our recent and current dreams. I also feel that many of us will suddenly appreciate that the form through which our dreams are being manifested is our integrated beings, not some outer structure. This may sound like old news to some, but my feeling is that our more integrated beings will be new and colourful in ways beyond anything we have been able to imagine. Also, there is much hidden wisdom to be unlocked within us under the influence of this Full Moon and planetary line-up. Dig deep, own what is in your shadow and shine bright in your own right!!</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The Moon, with its constant
movement and alternating between light and dark faces, showed people since
ancient times that nothing remained static. The Moon came to represent the
cycle of transformation and the ability for one thing to transform into another.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">During the First Quarter Moon
Phase, exact at 17:13 (5:13PM) GMT/UT, Wednesday February 25th, light and dark
are in balance and light is ascending; the Moon is waxing. With light
increasing, the structural outline of what is to be, what has been wished for,
comes into form. This is the time when the seeds that were planted at New Moon
establish roots and a stem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I sat in this First Quarter Moon
and planetary alignment yesterday, feeling the energies, planning what to write
in this First Quarter Moon blog. I could feel a sense of excitement,
anticipation, a sense of possibilities that were just beyond my awareness at
that time. I felt as if all parts were working together, or rather singing and
dancing, in a celebration of creativity, harmony and balance. Yet, I was unable
to form words. The Moon was void of course and it was not yet time for my ideas
and words to take form. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Today is a different story
entirely. Last night I dreamt in a way I have not done for some time. I was
very busy in my dreams last night. Many ideas were discussed, though I can't
remember the discussions today; typical for dreams. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The dimension of my dreams was
fairy and fairy-tale like. In this magical-feeling sphere, fulfillment and
happiness drive the manifestation of wishes and ideas into physically felt
experiences and physical form. Fear is simply not part of this dimension. The
fairy folk do not do fear. They are pleasure and happiness driven. They are
able to bridge dreams and possible physical manifestations. Do these dreams and
ideas make you feel good. Shall we make them physical they ask? When we say
yes, when we choose happiness over fear, feel good over safe, living our dreams
over living in our dreams, the fairies know exactly how to make it happen for
us.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Today at First Quarter Moon feel
into what you are experiencing, the themes and ideas of the last week and any
wishes made at New Moon last week. Make conscious what you are bringing into
form. Celebrate the roots of what makes you happy as the roots deepen, as the
stem comes into form and then reaches towards the stars. Say no to fear like
the fairies. Say no if it doesn't feel good but don't be afraid to feel good.
Be mindful of any fears that may arise around a sense of responsibility and
duty. Limiting our dreams to those that "fit" within the constraints
of our perceived duties and responsibilities severely limits the possibilities.
There are no dream or wish police. Dare to dream big and wish freely. Then,
follow through by continuing to say yes to the big and free dreams and wishes
as they can be felt coming into form, instead of allowing fear and resistance
to stop them in their tracks. Trust that all will be taken care of, that all is
well and fabulous, that what feels good and fulfills us is good for everybody,
and a win-win is not only possible, but guaranteed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Although there continues to be some
tensions in the planetary line-up at this time, there is a beautiful Grand Air
Trine between the Moon, the North Node and Mercury. Perhaps you will receive some
inspiration around what this life is for and be able to communicate it in a
meaningful and emotionally mature and connected way? This could be a complete
game-changer!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I love when Venus and Mars are
conjunct, as they are at the moment (In Aries). Passion and adventure are the
first words that come to mind followed by God and Goddess aligned. Beautiful
possibilities of gender equality and a future world full of passion and
adventure run through my dreamy mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Today the Moon is in quick-minded
Gemini and the Sun and Neptune are in dreamy Pisces. Although they are square (First Quarter
Square) which is known to create tension, there is something really freeing
about this energy for me today, perhaps its the conjunction of the Sun and Neptune. I have heard it said many times that our true
life is lived in our dreams and that our dreams, through our thoughts, create
our reality. It feels as though Gemini is providing the mental dexterity to
quickly process and communicate current dream-states, thus assisting the
conscious manifesting of our dreams in the physical. As stem and roots come
into form at the First Quarter Moon, and through our conscious awareness of
what we are building, we are powering-up our dreams.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;">NOW we are able to harmoniously
build upon our wishes with ideas inspired by the Dream-time and, the fairy
dimension is able to be once more, in service to humankind in big and beautiful
ways.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This one, on 18th February at 11:47 pm UT/GMT, is at 29° Aquarius 59' and is exact minutes before the Sun (and the moon) move into Pisces. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm thinking of the second Aquarius New Moon as a second chance to get things right in the last month of the Astrological New Year when the Sun makes its way through the dreamy Neptune-ruled sign of Pisces. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last month I was all fired up about gaining insight into things that have been feeling unclear for some time. I was determined to quickly clear out old patterns and move forward after having personally been through over two years of a very stuck, confusing and foggy-feeling Neptune mid-life transit. Reflecting upon this last lunar month I feel like I've "Jumped the gun" and "thrown the baby out with the bath water" on a few unresolved issues in my efforts to move forward. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The last part of any cycle contains dark moon phase energy, underworld journey energy; a time of reflection and endings before a new cycle begins. The last few days before New Moon is the Dark Moon phase. The last part of the year is also a Dark Phase. The time leading up to the Winter Solstice, and Winter generally, is a Dark Phase, a quiet time before new life bursts forth. The time during which the Sun travels through Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac and the month before the new cycle begins with the Sun moving into Aries, is also the Dark Phase of the Zodiac Cycle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A cycle's Dark Phase time and energy is best spent quietly reflecting and going within which is a type of Underworld Journey. <span style="line-height: 107%;">A descent into the Underworld helps develop a
relationship with hidden forces in our unconscious, release the past, stimulate
our psychic abilities and discover a new mature sense of self and our strengths. As we emerge from the Underworld at the beginning of the next cycle, we can do so feeling transformed and renewed.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">The New Moon is a time of beginnings, a time to seed the new cycle. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">The New Moon is wish time,</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"> a magical power moment "that can transform the desires of the heart into material reality" ~ Jan Spiller, New Moon Astrology. The great thing is we know there is a reflection period followed by wish time which we can utilize every lunar month. We can prepare for the new by resting and reflecting during the Dark Moon Phase then make a wish at New Moon, bursting forth into the new cycle feeling renewed and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">transformed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">The beginning of every cycle contains New Moon energy; Wish-time magical-power-moment-creation-energy. When aware of a cycle, people will want to start the New Cycle fresh. New Year's Resolutions and Spring Cleaning are the most obvious examples I can think of in today's society. And more and more people are harnessing the new cycle energy of the New Moon by making a conscious wish each lunar month.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">This New Moon is also Chinese New Year and so the beginning of two cycles simultaneously. 2015 is the Year of the Green Wooden Sheep. <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/big-yang-theory-chinese-sheep-goat-034611362.html">Big Yang Theory: Goat, Sheep or Gazelle?</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">We have a few more days before the second Aquarius New Moon of 2015. We are currently in the Dark Moon Phase of the lunar cycle, the Balsamic Moon Phase, a time best spent reflecting and going within. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">"At the Balsamic Phase, the life impulse distills and concentrates the wisdom of the entire cycle into a capsule of seed ideas for future vision." ~ Demetra George, "Finding Our Way Through the Dark."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">As I write this I am reflecting upon the last lunar month as well as the last few years. I want to set a powerful heart-felt intention for this New Aquarius Moon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">This New Moon marks both the beginning of one cycle, the lunar cycle, and the Dark Phase of another cycle, when the Sun travels through the sign of Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac. The Aries Equinox at 10:45 pm UT/GMT on March 20th, is the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of the Zodiac. It is therefore considered by many to be the beginning of the Western Astrology Calender. The other possible beginning being the Aries New Moon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">I intend on spending the next Lunar Month, as the Sun travels through dreamy Pisces reflecting upon the last year and dreaming up possibilities to seed at the beginning of the next Zodiac cycle. I intend on going deep within during this Dark Phase month of the Zodiac and wish to emerge feeling transformed and renewed as Spring and the Astrological New Year begin in March. I intend to have gained heart-felt insight into what I choose to wish for at the beginning of the Astrological New Year and the Pisces New Moon. The Pisces New Moon in March is also a total Solar Eclipse happening earlier on the same day as the Aries Equinox, when the Sun begins its next cycle through the zodiac. What a super-powerful-magical-wish-time moment that promises to be!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">For anybody not sure what to wish for this Aquarius New Moon, Jan Spiller has some great Aquarius-inspired ideas in her book "New Moon Astrology." Here is a smaller selection:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">"I want a brilliant, inventive solution to occur to me regarding the situation of____"; "I want to easily find the courage to revolutionize my life"; "I want to easily find myself courageously and successfully following my dream of ____"; "I want to easily find myself supporting outcomes that are good for others, as well as myself"; "I want to become consciously aware of the larger picture of what is happening in the area of ____"; "I want to greet unexpected events as positive opportunities for growth"; "I want to see life in a way that sparks my sense of humour"; "I want to easily find myself realigning my thinking in cooperation with my destiny"; "I want to easily find myself ceasing to take things personally"; "I want to easily find myself making choices that are in my highest interests in promoting healthy friendships"; "I want to easily find myself feeling comfortable and self-confident in group situations, relating to others with helpfulness"; "I want self-sabotaging tendencies to withdrawal easily lifted from me"; and "I want all destructive rebellion totally lifted from me."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Aquarius rules the ankles, calves, circulation, cramps, spasms and varicose veins. The Aquarius New Moon is the perfect time to make a wish about healing one or more of these area or to find the perfect healer to assist in healing one or more of these areas. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">As Jan Spiller says in her book, wishes always come true, in one form or another. I concur. Often a wish is granted long after we first made it and sometimes we no longer want the wish to come true when it finally becomes physically manifest. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Wishes are more powerful when made in writing at the New Moon and for twenty-four hours afterwards. Sit with your wish(es) first. Feel your wish(es) through to make sure it feels authentic and your true heart's desire, not the whim of your ego-mind. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;">Happy wish-seed creation and reflection!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><br /></span>

Last Quarter Moon: Aquarius Sun Square Scorpio Moon (23°) at 3:48am GMT/UT<br />
Mercury Direct 2:57pm GMT/UT<br />
<br />
The last quarter moon is energetically and/or physically categorized by the breakdown and decomposition of old and useless forms. According to Demetra George "at the Last Quarter Phase the life impulse has completed its mission, and now begins to reorient to a dimly intuited future."<br />
<br />
The last New Moon, an Aquarius New Moon was on 20th January, 2015. Consciously or unconsciously the New Moon precipitates a creation cycle which culminates at the Full Moon. Creations which will not bare fruit are reviewed after the Full Moon and begin being broken down at the Last Quarter Moon. An opportunity for new creations and the building upon of older creations which still have potential to bare fruit comes with each New Moon.<br />
<br />
As the Last Quarter Moon square approaches a push for resolution and completion of projects can be felt. For some this is a tense time. Many will feel themselves digging their heels in as they fight for what they wish to still realize. For others the falling away of old ideas and dreams can be felt.<br />
<br />
In many ways mental and emotional energy can be felt churning deep within, chipping away below the conscious, sorting and clearing. Bursts of insight may come. Mercury retrograde has had us in review-mode for the last three weeks. We have possibly been confronted by a few communication challenges as well. As Mercury starts moving forward again and the New Moon approaches there will be great potential for further insights which have largely been fueled by processing we may not have been aware we were doing.<br />
<br />
These insights will be in perfect time to set intentions and make wishes at the second Aquarius New Moon on 19th February, 2015. A second New Moon in any sign is not a frequent occurrence. It is a second chance to gain insight and clarity over themes of the last month or so, and set right and true intentions for the following New Moon.<br />
<br />
The following New Moon, a Total Solar Eclipse, falls on the last degree of the zodiac, 29° Pisces, on 20th March, 2015. The New Moon Total Solar Eclipse occurs just over 12 hours before the March Equinox, when the Sun moves into Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. This is a very powerful ending and beginning overlap period which heralds what many western astrologers call the beginning of the Astrological Year. The First New Moon in Aries, this year on April 18th, is also regarded by some as the beginning of the astrological year. Exciting times!!!<br />
<br />
Alignment has been a key theme for a while. Many have had strong recent experiences of themselves across multiple dimensions. For some it has felt more like experiencing, across parallel realities and timelines, multidimensional selves that feel very real but may also feel very wrong and out of alignment with who we feel ourselves to be.<br />
<br />
It is like every outlying thought and emotion we've ever had through eons of time and untold lifetimes, as well as the beliefs and judgement others have and have had about us, have created multiple and sometimes fragmented versions of ourselves. These are now accessible as never before. Many of these versions of ourselves feel completely out of alignment with who we really are. No doubt we agreed to this experience on some level, but now it is possible to shut down any versions of ourselves that feel wrong.<br />
<br />
Some of these multidimensional versions of ourselves and parallel dimensions are completely unnecessary and draining. As we become aware of these multiple versions, we can decide whether to embody them or to dissolve them. We are being delivered into a space where we can lay down and embody our chosen version of ourselves, with complete awareness and authority, without obstacle or limitation, once and for all. This may mean saying goodbye to dreams and people who wish to hold us to the old and wrong versions of ourselves.<br />
<br />
The way back to choosing the versions of ourselves which feel both right and true, rather than feeling fractured and "wrong," is through our physical body. Paying closer attention to feelings in our bodies and identifying the "wrong" over-emotional and nonsensical thoughts is key.<br />
<br />
As a friend said to me recently, though perhaps in another context, "It is real if you choose it to be."<br />
<br />
We really don't need all that baggage and letting it go has never been easier. It is simply a matter of thinking and believing that an experience of our self does not have to be real if we no longer choose that experience.<br />
<br />
I feel like I am shutting down far more than I am choosing of late and feeling better than I have for a long time. Yipee!!<br />
<br />
Soon there need be only one version. This is a true new beginning, and yet perhaps the continuation of our most ancient but truest self; our eternal being embodied in the physical, in the forever now.<br />
<br />
Another theme, which is related, is the challenge of "Other People's Stuff" or OPS.<br />
<br />
I had a dream a couple of days ago that clearly illustrated what I needed to understand about OPS:<br />
<br />
I stood facing an empty Olympic-sized swimming pool. There was a presence with me I shall call the "pool master." I wanted to swim some laps.<br />
<br />
The pool master asked which lane I would like to swim in. I looked for lane 9 (my main numerology number) but there were only 8 lanes.<br />
<br />
I felt very indecisive, as I have the last few years. The pool was starting to fill up with swimmers. I started to stress-out and asked the pool master to choose a lane for me, one where I could best serve.<br />
<br />
Next thing I was before lane 1. Oh no, I should have said any lane except 1 and 8, because both had felt challenging as I wondered which lane to choose (I was born in a 1 year and my second numerology number is 8 which is interesting to me, but I digress).<br />
<br />
As I climbed into the pool a swimmer was coming at me in lane 1. She seemed worked up and it quickly become apparent that she wanted to be number 1. I was a faster swimmer but she refused to let me pass her.<br />
<br />
After a few laps of extreme frustration I stopped her and asked, "did you just see me and want to beat me without knowing who I am and how fast I can swim? Do you need to be number 1. at all costs?" She smiled and said yes. There was no malice, just her truth.<br />
<br />
I instantly decided that I couldn't stay in a lane where I was being held back and prevented from swimming at my pace, but all the other lanes were jam packed. For a moment I felt very disappointed with what my indecision had manifested. Then I remembered there was another pool. Turned out I knew this complex well. It was the landscape of many dreams, and besides, I didn't even have to swim. I could do what ever I wanted.<br />
<br />
As I turned away from the pool a fight broke out between the competitor and the swimmers around her. Not my fight, not my stuff, I thought. OPS!!! With none of the guilt and responsibility I used to feel about experiencing OPS, I simply walked away.<br />
<br />
As I write I feel a song coming on. Actually it is a track on a CD my children have been playing the last week: <a href="http://youtu.be/nfWlot6h_JM">Shake It Off</a> by Taylor Swift. It has become my week's ear worm and after writing this blog, my mantra. No matter what you do the player is gonna play, the hater is going to hate but we can all choose to "shake shake, shake, shake it off, SHAKE IT OFF!!!<br />
<br />
We all have an opportunity to self-define, to lay down our truth first from an inner authority, to dissolve what we feel is untrue and will not bare fruit, and to remove ourselves from the restrictions of OPS.<br />
<br />
For the first time in a long time, I feel excited!!!<br />
<br />

I can almost hear "oh no, here we go again" from a few, as they recall events and challenges from previous M.R. periods, and feel the flutter of anxiety from others as they prepare to complete as many projects as possible before Mercury stations and begins it's seemingly backward three week dance; And it will be through Scorpio this time, so things could get quite stuck, dense and deep.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I imagine a number of people are wondering, "what is a Mercury Retrograde?" Three times a year, every year, for three weeks at a time, the planet Mercury appears to be moving backwards from our vantage point on Earth. When the planets appear to move normally we say they are direct, sometimes they appear not to move, and we say they have stationed, and sometimes they appear to be moving backwards and this is when we say they are retrograde. As we move from one side of our orbit of the Sun to the other, the planets appear to be moving faster than they actually are, and in a sense the retrograde period, when the planets appear to be losing ground, is a correction; both of the planet's orbit position by degree and of our perception and experience in terms of the themes/objects that the particular planet, and sign it is retrograding through, rules or represents.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mercury is the planet of communication. Mercury rules the transmission and reception of information and therefore rules talking, teaching, writing, listening, learning, reading and observing, and so it follows that it also rules phones, mobile phones, car navigation systems, satellites, emails, mail/letters, meetings, the internet and even computers. According to Astrologer Steven Forrest, Planets, when direct, express in an extroverted manner, but retrograde energy flows in the opposite direction, and much of it's expression is directed inwards, deeper into the mind, away from the world, and into the unconscious.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next Mercury Retrograde period begins on October 20th at 10:30am GMT/UT when Mercury stations then goes retrograde on October 22nd, exactly 48 hours later. Mercury will be retrograde until the 9th November when it stations at 9pm GMT/UT then goes direct exactly 48 hours later on 11th November. Mercury will then be in it's shadow period and not fully "extroverted" until 9:30am GMT/UT on November 27th. From this moment things that have felt like they were on hold or uncertain since October will move forward or become much clearer.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some Mercury Retrograde periods are pretty much uneventful, but sometimes it feels like everything goes wrong. I have personally experienced, and know of many others who have experienced, a combination of the following during a Mercury Retrograde: phone cables damaged, internet breakdown, lost, frozen, damaged or broken mobile phones, computers and car navigation systems, important meeting day and time mix-ups, major communication misunderstandings, missing emails and mail, electrical problems, and so on. These things can be very very inconvenient at the time and even seem like a disaster but upon reflection there is always something deeper to be understood. For example a friend's phone broke during Mercury Retrograde and they were greatly inconvenienced but later they told me they had been wanting a new phone. I had been wanting a new laptop when my old one broke during the last M.R.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps our creative/manifesting powers are just stronger during a Mercury Retrograde. We don't really feel like meeting a particular person at the appointed time, or feel ready to finalize a particular matter, or perhaps we just want to retreat for a while but are too responsible to say so. Then along comes Mercury Retrograde and everything goes haywire: the internet won't work, our phone breaks, that meeting is delayed, an important contract goes missing in cyber space and the matter is out of our hands for a while. Yes this can cause a great deal of frustration and inconvenience, even anger, but that is only because we are trying to stay in control and go against the flow. In my experience M.R. teaches us to go with the flow and take responsibility for our thoughts and creations.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have found that Mercury Retrograde is most easily navigated when we are truly honest with ourselves and are able to simply accept what is. Last Mercury Retrograde I managed to mostly put this into practice. Last M.R. was a challenging one. My laptop and my mobile phone froze, my internet went down, I kept mixing up appointment days and times and every second thing I said came out wrong or was misunderstood in some way. The fact of the matter was that I had wanted a new laptop for ages and I had wanted to have some time to myself to journal and simply be. Mercury Retrograde gave me exactly what I had been wishing for. Once I realized this I was able to get out of the drama, have a laugh at the perfection of it all and go with the flow, mostly. I did have some moments of frustration, but my phone came back to life after a day, I purchased a new laptop, the internet was fixed with one phone call, and I caught up with my meetings and misunderstandings were sorted out once Mercury went direct.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next Mercury Retrograde is through the sign of Scorpio. Scorpio is fixed water and Mercury rules mutable air and earth. They aren't a particularly comfortable combination but where there is a challenge there is greater potential for growth. While this M.R. period may feel really stuck, intense, uncomfortable and out of control at times for some of us, the potential for personal transformation and deep penetrating insight into the workings and power of our unconscious mind and emotions is huge. Mercury Retrograde is like a vehicle for travelling through old territory in new, insightful and deeper ways because we are able to think and communicate in new ways, or rather, we are challenged to communicate and think, or mentally operate, in new ways. With Mercury retrograding through Scorpio (along with Saturn in Scorpio) it's going to be super deep and we may just be confronted by our deepest darkest fears, but once we resurface we will be transformed, and we may just find new confidence and comfort communicating about important subjects/issues we had previously avoided, maybe even pretended didn't exist.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Go with the flow as much as possible and try not to scurry away from what is revealed to you during this Mercury Retrograde. You probably won't be travelling light through this period, but come end of November you will feel lighter and possibly be a great deal wiser!!!</span><br />

ASTRONERGY®http://www.blogger.com/profile/04314621831566583228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915082881353390357.post-24561033293946531302013-09-15T10:39:00.000-07:002013-09-15T10:39:57.032-07:00Astrology and FertilityThe Natal Astrology Chart, and the many Astrological techniques, provide the Astrologer with a seemingly endless amount of information about the individual. A great deal of information can be gleaned about an individual's fertility and challenges to fertility, as well as possible ways to further enhance fertility, to overcome many challenges to fertility on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, to understand the timing of challenges, and to choose the most auspicious times and avoid inauspicious times for conception. <br />
<br />
The Moon is the most important planet, in terms of fertility, in both men and women. The Moon rules the entire reproductive process, but reproduction is such a huge and essential function of every species, that all the planets have some involvement and influence.<br />
<br />
I am going to go into more detail about the Moon, her phases and conception later, but first I would like to present a brief overview of Astrology and fertility. An Astrologer is able to see by looking at the individual's chart any fertility challenges, if indeed there are any, whether they be operating on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level, and if the challenges are ongoing or transient in nature.<br />
<br />
Different organs and functions of the body are associated with different planets and Astrological signs and houses. For example, Sex is ruled by Pluto and Scorpio; The penis is ruled by the 8th house of transformation as well as Pluto, Mars and Scorpio; The Menstrual cycle is ruled by the 5th house of creativity and children and the 8th house, as well as the Moon; Seminal fluid is ruled by the Moon; Sperm is ruled by Scorpio, Venus, Jupiter and Mars; Lust and sex appeal are ruled by Venus and Mars; The ovaries are ruled by Venus, Libra, Scorpio and Pluto; Creativity and vitality is ruled by the Sun; And the sex hormones are ruled by Mars and Venus. As a rule of thumb any physical and hormonal differences between males and females are ruled by Mars and Venus and the symbols used in Astrology to depict theses planets are the same symbols used for male and female in a wider sense, including by scientists.<br />
<br />
Astrology can be key to conception timing. For example, Astrology can be used to pick the best time to implant eggs in IVF, by avoiding particularly difficult aspects to the Moon. When the Sun and any major planets are in opposition, something an Astrologer can easily check, there is an increase in sunspot activity, magnetic storms, shifts in magnetic fields and cosmic radiation. Dr Eugen Jonas, who also discovered the Lunar Peak (which I will discuss later) found these can have subtle and sometimes not so subtle deleterious affects on germs cells as well as newly fertilized eggs. As a mother of a child with a birth defect and now in my 40s this is something I would investigate if I decided to conceive another child.<br />
<br />
Sometimes there are transient challenges to fertility and a particular client always comes to mind when I am trying to illustrate this phenomenon. When this particular client came to see me she and her husband had been trying for their second child for over 2 years. They had both been fully checked over for physical fertility issues and nothing was found to be wrong. She wondered if there was an emotional issue. When I looked at her chart I immediately noticed that the asteroid Chiron was transiting through her 5th house of creativity and children. This means that Chiron was not in her 5th house when she was born, but was temporarily passing through and had been for over 2 years. Chiron in the 5th house is linked to fertility challenges and while this can sometimes be overcome in a birth chart, I felt it was unlikely that pregnancy would be possible until Chiron had moved into the 6th house. The problem was that she was past her mid-30s and Chiron would be in her 5th house for nearly another 5 years. I was very vague about the time line because I was an inexperienced Astrologer at the time and didn't want to upset her, plus I didn't want to plant any firm ideas in her mind that pregnancy would not be possible for the next 5 years; You just never know, very unexpected things can happen. As it turned out one month after Chiron left her 5th house she fell pregnant naturally, and after a smooth pregnancy gave birth to a healthy child at nearly age 42. She and her husband had tried everything in the interim but in this case, it all came down to timing.<br />
<br />
The words for menstruation are derived from classical roots meaning month and Moon. Many cultures have made a connection through history between the Moon, women and fertility. The length of the average menstrual cycle is 29.5 days which is the same length as a lunar month.<br />
<br />
In Medical astrology the Moon rules the breasts, stomach, uterus and digestion as well as bodily fluids, including amniotic fluid, vaginal mucus and semen. The Moon, like the uterus, constantly changes shape. According to Sagan, author of "Planetary Forces, Alchemy and Healing," the uterus's functions are a perfect embodiment of the symbolism of the Moon and that of Cancer, the sign it rules. The uterus provides a "nidus" or nest for reproduction where the foetus can grow and be nurtured in a warm, fluid-filled protected environment.<br />
<br />
"Steiner's vision was that in the past, all women had their menstrual cycle perfectly synchronized with the lunar cycle... and the fact that this is no longer the case indicates an emancipation from cosmic cycles." (Sagan)<br />
<br />
A commonly held view is that women are most fertile at full Moon and so should ovulate at this time, and menstruate at the new Moon, but clinical observation and research indicates that lunar cycle synchronization is not so simple, though it has been observed that women are often fertile and conceive at full Moon, even when this does not coincide with mid-cycle ovulation.<br />
<br />
In the 1950s, Dr Eugen Jonas, a Czech Psychiatrist,<br />
<br />
"identified and assessed a biorhythmic cycle as having an effect on fertility...he concluded that a woman is fertile during the same phase of the Moon that was present when she was born, regardless of whether she was at mid-cycle ovulation." (Naish)<br />
<br />
However unlikely this may seem, this finding has been extensively tested by many practitioners and researchers and according to Australian based natural fertility specialist Francesca Naish, <br />
<br />
"several researchers have established that this bio-rhythm is like a blueprint for the hormonal cycle, and that the more relaxed, and generally reproductively healthy a woman is, the more likely she is to experience her mid-cycle ovulation at the same phase of the moon that was present at her birth."<br />
<br />
Further to this it appears that when a woman is mid-cycle during her birth lunar phase, she is more likely to conceive. The synchronization of the lunar and hormonal cycle has been observed to occur more commonly in woman who are aware of their bodies, such as those who are checking their mucus symptoms, or those who are trying to conceive because they are taking care to be more reproductively healthy. You can read more about mucus symptoms in relation to fertility and natural contraception in Naish's books, "The Natural Way To Better Babies" and "Natural Fertility."<br />
<br />
If the menstrual cycle is longer or shorter than a lunar cycle, it may not synchronize with this lunar blueprint and the lunar peak may not coincide with ovulation. Dr Jonas found that in these situations, women were still able to conceive at the lunar peak.<br />
<br />
How is this possible? In a study published in the journal "Fertility and Sterility," Pierson and his colleagues found that of the 63 women they studied, only 50 had "normal" menstrual cycles. Thirteen of the 63 women ovulated multiple times, in various different ways, and of the other 50 women, 40% experienced up to three waves of the follicles instead of the expected one. Any one of these follicle waves could have resulted in the production of an egg. The women's hormonal levels did not match this activity and so it follows that measuring hormones in the blood is not enough to predict what is happening in a woman's reproductive system.<br />
<br />
Out of mid-cycle ovulations are called spontaneous ovulations and other studies have confirmed that ovulation can also occur out of cycle as a response to sexual stimulation. The woman's lunar peak cycle is usually the priority, but if conception attempts according to the women's cycle have been unsuccessful, experimenting with sexually stimulated spontaneous ovulation might prove successful. The optimum time for this would be during the man's lunar peak, when sperm count is at it's highest.<br />
<br />
The lunar peak is found by calculating the angle between the Moon and the Sun at the time of birth, then the monthly return for that angle is calculated by an Astrologer or an Astrological/Astronomical computer program. This will produce 12 or 13 times in a calendar year, one every 29.5 days. The woman is fertile at these times whether or not these dates coincide with her mid-cycle ovulation. Women have also conceived at full Moon even when this did not coincide with their lunar peak or their mid-cycle ovulation.<br />
<br />
According to Naish, to increase conception success it is preferable for the ovulation and lunar peak to be synchronized. The following is a list of some ways that have been found to predispose women to ovulating at this lunar peak: becoming generally and reproductively healthy through improving diet and exercising adequately, but not too much, reducing stress, avoiding international air travel and shift work (which are known to disrupt cycles) and being aware of lunar phases. Medical Astrology recommends, by Astrological Moon and Sun sign, adding particular foods and activities to help create harmony and balance, which may assist the synchronization of these cycles. <br />
<br />
To conclude, Astrology is a useful tool for understanding an individual's fertility and fertility challenges, for increasing fertility and the chances of conception and is able to provide very practical help in the form of fertile times that fall outside of the mid-cycle ovulation period. <br />

<br />
I have been hanging out for the end of June all year. I had June pegged as the promised month because it felt like things were on pause, or we are in a cocoon of sorts waiting for energies to align and fall into place so that we could finally begin to move forward mid-year. It certainly feels like this is about to happen, but it might be another month, perhaps marked by the beginning of the Mayan Calendar's New Year at the end of July, before it really happens. The last year has been really mentally stimulating, and for many, very emotionally overwhelming. While the veils have been thinning between the worlds things haven't exactly been feeling any clearer, at least not for me. The thinning, while making us more sensitive and open, has flooded us with all sorts of seemingly new information on previously unexplored levels, but with Jupiter transiting through Gemini the last year, the mental buzz and expansion has had us exploring the answers with our minds dominating. The mind is a great tool but should it rule? I think not. On the 26th June Jupiter leaves Gemini (it's least comfortable sign placement) and moves into Cancer where it is able to express it's highest vibration! YES, bring it on!!!<br />
<br />
After several days of feeling a surge of optimism and expansion with the Sun and Jupiter's once a year meeting, things have started leveling out again. It felt like things were changing for the better but now it feels to me like I tasted many positive and expanded possibilities and now the obstacles to this are becoming clearer. Dare I say it, there is some clarity pouring in as the world of feelings and forward moving Cancer energy starts to take over from the busy world of buzzing Gemini mental energy.<br />
<br />
There is a delicious surge of loving and feeling communication pouring in at the moment. Mercury and Venus are meeting in the later degrees of Cancer and it feels to me like any open and loving heartfelt communication will be supported right now, whether this is internal communication or communication with others.<br />
<br />
Also approaching in a few days is a trine between the Sun and Neptune which the highly sensitive amongst us may already be experiencing to some degree. This promises to feel dreamy and romantic, maybe even as though our dreams are coming true. With Neptune in the picture however we are wearing rose-coloured glasses and feelings around events and people at this time are likely to be an illusion on some level. On the upside it is an opportunity to take the feelings, dreams and wishes revealing themselves at this time and use them to create these feelings and experiences for real in the coming months and years. We are only limited by our own imagination, or lack there of.<br />
<br />
Yesterday evening while listening to music I felt and saw many things begin to expand, spiral up and lift-off! Today my feeling is that this will stem from our true feelings. As long as we are being honest with ourselves, and others, we will be fully supported, but any denial and resistance will have us plummeting into "stuff." This stuff is the unreleased or disowned past and may not even be of our personal creation. Cancer rules the past, family and clan and our inner world. With Saturn touring Scorpio for the next few years it's all about getting deep, feeling and releasing. The focus for the next year will be on the past, family, home and inner world. Time to discern between old emotions and the flow of feelings. Feelings can be intense, deep and painful, but they flow and are lighter than the experience of feeling old stuck emotions as they make themselves known. Understanding the difference will be key to navigating these energies.<br />
<br />
The coming year is likely to intensify feelings about home and family and churn up any emotions from the past. How this will feel will depend on how comfortable we are with our feelings, how much inner work we have done or are prepared to do, and how aware and honest we are with ourselves. The Sun always brings out the lighter and sunnier side of any sign so I am seeing this as a month to really enjoy my inner world, family, feelings and home as all things Cancer are expanded by Jupiter for the next year.<br />
<br />
May your path be true and flowing now.<br />
Love,<br />
Virginia<br />

<br />
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and rotates around the Sun once in every 11 years and 315 days, which means Jupiter changes zodiac signs once a year. Jupiter is changing sign from Gemini to Cancer on June 26th at 02:47 UT/GMT.<br />
<br />
In a nutshell Jupiter in Cancer in the collective will bring the focus home; both our physical home and the realm of our inner most world of feelings. We will seek growth and improvement of ourselves through development around family values, security, empathy, instinctive nurturing and emotional support.<br />
<br />
According to Robert Hand, "at the most fundamental level Jupiter signifies the individual reaching out to include more and more of the universe and it's experience within himself or herself."<br />
<br />
Although Jupiter has it's more challenging side it is considered the most "benefic" planet, and the planet of luck, opportunity and expansion. If we want to look to the area of our lives where we are experiencing the most luck and expansion we look to the house Jupiter is transiting through. In terms of sun sign astrology, when a planet changes sign it also changes house.<br />
<br />
The area in our life where Jupiter will be bringing expansion, luck and opportunities for development over the next year are as follows:<br />
<br />
Aries<br />
The fourth house of home, personal life, family, the past and our innermost self.<br />
<br />
Taurus<br />
The third house of learning, communication, siblings, immediate environment and short journeys.<br />
<br />
Gemini<br />
The second house of values, inner resources, self-worth and material security.<br />
<br />
Cancer<br />
The first house of self-identity, physical vitality and form, and beginnings.<br />
<br />
Leo<br />
The twelfth house of the collective, retreat from the world, karmic lessons and institutions.<br />
<br />
Virgo<br />
The eleventh house of friendships, groups, causes, communities and ideals.<br />
<br />
Libra<br />
The tenth house of career, social position, public image, parents and authority.<br />
<br />
Scorpio<br />
The ninth house of travel, higher learning and life philosophy/religion/spirituality.<br />
<br />
Sagittarius<br />
The eighth house of personal transformation and healing, joint resources and what is hidden.<br />
<br />
Capricorn<br />
The seventh house of relationships of all kinds, including marriage and partnerships.<br />
<br />
Aquarius<br />
The sixth house of health, daily work and rituals, co-workers, service and pets.<br />
<br />
Pisces<br />
The fifth house of creative expression, romantic love, children, self-esteem, validation.<br />
<br />
* If you know your ascendant/rising sign you use this instead to see which house Jupiter is transiting through in your natal chart.<br />

<br />
The following is from personal observation more than feeling the times and current planetary placements but after conversations with a number of people I know that many are experiencing similar themes. In any case it's all one, above and below, within and without.<br />
<br />
The biggest thing I have noticed is that my equilibrium point seems to have shrunk and some days or for periods of most days, I have no idea where it is and begin to question its existence. Events, thoughts, emotions that used to be as though water off a ducks back easily throw me, sometimes in very intense ways. I remember once having been in balance but I forget how to find it again and so I have to apply a whole process that I thought I had already mastered and so no longer needed to be aware of, but not so. I have had to apply what I know in bigger and more creative ways, but with it has come greater awareness of energy and how we interact and affect each other on a myriad of levels.<br />
<br />
I have found that some days go from feeling awesome to very challenging within a few minutes, then back again to feeling great, often with no apparent reason, though a number have been related to solar flares and so on.<br />
<br />
I have noticed that the intense energy of these times is difficult to channel productively. Where once I would have been charged up, motivated to do things, sleeping less and exploring expanded states I have felt unmotivated, less inspired and sometimes inexplicably physically tired tough my mind at times has been very very busy. Often times I have been caught up in stories and drama that were either old or made very little sense, as though belonging to somebody else, but of course sometimes the dramas have been my own. Little things have been blown out of all proportion because I kept forgetting how much has been in play with the long and just completed first eclipse season of 2013, intense solar activity expected to peak, Neptune transiting Pisces, Saturn transiting Scorpio and the Uranus Pluto square. Plus I have personally been experiencing some intense transits to my natal chart.<br />
<br />
No matter how challenging now may feel it certainly isn't dull. There is so much happening around the world, so many things on the verge of happening, it can be felt in our minds, in our bodies, in our emotions, the way energy shifts throughout our body and energy centers, sometimes really intensely, uncomfortably and inexplicably.<br />
<br />
I have felt very challenged by third eye and solar plexus energy for quite some time. I have had bouts of dizziness and nausea that have forced me to lie down for extended periods. Sometimes during these periods my being has travelled to far away places, or expanded dramatically, or I've explored great depths and felt a great deepening of my being and sometimes I have felt as though I have contracted completely or I am being squeezed through the eye of a needle. I have had a number of healing dreams and visions, some with major revelations that have brought pieces together in ways I hadn't expected. Sometimes I've resisted and these experiences have been tormenting but other times they have brought the delight and excitement that only the new and promising can.<br />
<br />
Who knows where the next week will take us. There certainly feels to be something big on the horizon. I am not sure if the focus will be external or internal, perhaps it will be both in obvious ways or subtle change will creep in so that many don't realise what is happening until it is here. While these shifts and changes may feel intense and challenging at times they serve the highest purpose and allowing and accepting will be the easiest path to take, possibly a very enjoyable one.<br />
<br />
Love<br />

Everything feels more peaceful and lighter than it has in a long while. There is still the feeling that something big is on the horizon but it doesn't feel like life and death as it did only days ago. It feels like we have jumped through a hoop with great success and rewards are on their way, we have only to be open to receiving.<br />
<br />
For a while it felt like everything was the wrong way around, as though those who had worked hard for ages were bogged down by the weight of old responsibilities and unable to reap what they had sewed, and those who had arrived later were reaping the rewards instead. Things started shifting about 20 hours ago. I am writing this at 7pm GMT/UT and now it feels as though the burden of old responsibilities has lifted and rewards for hard work are flooding in. For me it's an inner grin, the restoration of my natural light and happy state of being, and all that is created from there.<br />
<br />
We are still living in intense, stimulating and often shocking times but this period of the Sun in Gemini carries us on mercury's wings. We are able to better navigate the energetic spectrum of now. We are more able to process in mercurial speed the volumes of information that we are receiving from seemingly everywhere. It feels like our nervous system, mind and body are no longer bogged down by dense energies.While we may still be feeling tired it is not the utter exhaustion of recent weeks, even months. Perhaps the energies we are processing have lightened but I feel it is more that we have upgraded our systems and are better able to deal with all that is happening now.<br />
<br />
In Taurus we are deep and sometimes silent within our bodies, but in Gemini we are lighter and more in our minds. This is perfect for now. Many of us who haven't felt like venturing far from home, have avoided social situations or have avoided knowing too much about what has been happening in the world are able to come out into the world now. All of a sudden we are able to handle more stimulation and information.<br />
<br />
Personally the difference between now and a week ago is like night and day. I can't exactly put my finger on what is different but my knowing tells me that the tiny adjustments that I have been making daily, with little obvious reward in the moment, have accumulated, pushed me through the eye of a needle and into an expanded now. The relief I feel is immeasurable but I am not in that excited elated state I may once have found myself in under such circumstances, instead I keep catching myself grinning, happy to feel the long missed connection with that something wonderful that I can only describe as being from beyond my wildest dreams. I'm in the expanded but still unfolding here and now after having been through a most unexpected gauntlet of emotional, physical and mental extremes reminiscent of my past. Yay!!!<br />
<br />
Once I was able to get a greater sense of the coming month's energy but now I find there is only now. This Sun in Gemini blog post may well have to be written in pieces and pulled together in the fullness of time, or in no time as the case may be...how perfectly Gemini...
