Sun Enters Gemini (May 20, 2013)

 

The Great Journey of Spirit has come around to this most sacred way, this most holy place...for this is where innocence was lost...and your redemption was born...This is the Portal to your Greater Awareness...

Every Sign speaks to your Journey of Spirit, of the Self-Unfoldment of your powers and abilities, as you pass through many dimensions, with many energies and through many forms in this great Spiral Journey of Light. But something quite remarkable and integral to your journey back to the stars happened (and happens) here in the mystery that is Gemini. This is the moment, in the past and in those far distant-futures, but always and forever in your ever-present Now, this is that moment that is forever and ever that you became/become Self-Aware.

Whether in the "myths" of Prometheus, Lucifer, Loki, Kali, Quetzalcoatl and countless and forgotten others, the story is told as to how the Non Self-Aware Beings, in our case Humans, receive the gift from those "whose great honor and sacrifice is to do what was also done unto them", they descend so as to pass on "The Light", bestowing upon the still Sleeping Ones this Fire or Light of Self-Awareness.

This is "the Fall" from the so-called "Blessed State" of the Self that is Undifferentiated (the Pure State of "I Am"), of Being one with the One, who by becoming Self-Aware are thereby cast out of the Garden of Eden (of Blissful Ignorance) and into that Wilderness of Wandering through these Worlds of Duality...

By becoming a Being awakened to "I am That", now distinct and feeling this wondrous and yet painful separation, being aware of this, they take up the journey of Self-Conscious Beings who now strive to Understand these Energies and Forms of Reality in Matter, and so by their Self-Making/Self-Realizations they Forge their Pathway of Light back to the One...They return as Prodigal Sons and Daughters, bringing back to the One these Gifts of the Experience of Self-Realization...

This is the Portal, that leads to the Greater Awareness, the path is through Duality, to be caught between Self and Other, Darkness and Light, Being and Non-Being as you, The Pilgrim, seeks ever to understand from whence did I come, for what reason am I here...and where and what am I to become?

This is The Journey...That you left from the One as Un-Self Conscious Sparks of the Divine, winging your way through Time and Space, through Dimensions, Energies, Worlds and Forms...

For countless eons your journey was experienced but remained without Self-Knowing, until this Portal and the Gift Bestowed...

For the rest of your journey you will seek to return..

To find the way to heal these divisions of Self and Other...

From which so much confusion, error and pain arise.

To find your way beyond the Illusion...

Where each and every appear as separate from one another...

Back to the One, back in the Living Truth.

That all are ones of the One...

Whose Wisdom, Love and Strength...

Will Abide Forever and Ever...

Within you, Between you and Throughout Creation.

For you are the Prodigal Pilgrims, the Sons and Daughters...

Finding your way Home.

Mercury Square Neptune (May 18, 2013)

Feeling a bit fuzzy or distracted...Maybe you misremembered something, or you lost or misplaced something (or someone!)...Your mind wandered off or you did not pay attention to what was being said, or where you were going...And so you have inadvertently crossed over into that twilight realm, of swirling mists, of twinkling lights and dancing shadows, and you realize that you are really "not in Kansas anymore"...

Well, that's just fine because your Consciousness needed this...You always need this really, for it is this kind of experience that is most necessary for your Spiral Journey of Light, as this is how you grow into your Greater Awareness...You grow because you encounter this challenge to your Perceptions, Assumptions and Certainties and begin to realize that maybe there is more here than you have imagined.

Because when you stumble into these errors or confusion, you become turned around and about, and you have to lift yourself up and consider another way of perceiving, conceiving and knowing you and your world...Over time you will come to know and accept that your journey of Consciousness is a cycle of moving ceaselessly from Certainty, to Doubt, to Confusion...and it is then that you turn with a new-found Openness...and this in turn gives birth to your New Awareness...But of course, you again become "Certain" about that...until...

It is the Great Lord Neptune who is ever there and will make and remind you of this today. For you will only grow by letting go, and you only let go when the holding on to what is nonsense is clearly the one thing you are certain you can no longer do!

And so Neptune, who you might wish to hold at fault for bringing this confusion into your life, is equally and actually the Avatar who offers you this way through to the Light of a Greater Understanding. For only when you acknowledge that your former understanding was full of Illusions can you open your Mind (and Heart) to the Clear-Seeing, Compassionate Light of Illumination that is the Truth of Neptune.

For it is this which Neptune offers you, it is the Fountain Source of your Faith and Imagination that springs from what holds the entirety of Creation and you together as One...the One Abiding and Binding Light, the Forces and Forms of the Divine that you call Love.

Do not be troubled if you are confused...

For it is a sign that you are aware and awakening...

Letting go of your shackles of Certainty, you question.

Let yourself move into a Living Faith of Openness and Love...

Seeking and so finding a more Expansive, Inclusive and Humble Way.

For this is Wisdom, this is your path...

This is the Wisdom of Love.

Mercury Enters Gemini (May 15, 2013)

Hermes, the Fleet-Footed messenger, who flies between those Starry Realms above and your Earthly plane below, returns to his home sign of Gemini. Yet he is already beginning to slow down as he arcs his way around the Sun and approaches the next retrograde in late June. He is still moving at his top speed right now, which means he will only be in Gemini for just over two weeks...So you had better take advantage of all this delightfully engaging Airy Energy while it lasts! (Take note of this, because Mercury is going retrograde at the end of June, and he will swim, back and forth, in and out, through those Waters of Cancer for over two months!)

The realm of Air is where Hermes shines, for your growing Self-Awareness is founded upon those Mercurial Powers which have endowed you with the ability to ponder and question, to compare and contrast, to observe and reason as you seek to know your world and yourself through an ever-expanding means of Perception-Understanding.

For the next two weeks, you should do your utmost to let your mind rejoice in its pliability, ingenuity and comically contrarian nature. It is most necessary to your growth that you question...Everything. Challenge yourself and others to step outside their comfort zones and look at your assumptions and self-made "facts", which as often as they may provide frameworks will inevitably veil you from a more complete understanding.

These necessary paradigms, like steps upon a spiral stairway, reveal much to you for a time, but they equally forge and hold you enthralled, creating the very shadows, those differences and dilemmas that you must free yourself from in order to become. Like a Spiral Flame of Light, you rise from level to level, from the ordinary to an ever more inclusive and extraordinary perspective. You will discover as you let go and grow, that many intractable problems melt away by you shifting your Perspectives-Assumptions as you apprehend new approaches and solutions.

Remember, your Journey of Self-Becoming is founded upon a most Holy Trinity, the Three Principle Attributes of Spirit that are a Centered Will, Unconditional Love and a Free Mind. The Spirit within you, your Spark of the Divine, is the source of your Self-Awareness, and it is ever seeking to inspire, guide and help you to realize your Destiny, which is to grow through and yet ultimately transcend your more limited understanding as you climb the Path of Light and approach the Greater Awareness of Cosmic Consciousness.

Rejoice in Hermes, who has come to lead you through the Portal to his Realm...

He, who is named, but is not known, by many names...Trickster, Coyote, Fool and Clown.

He shows you the Way to Wisdom, through Humility and Laughter.

You Dance a Spiral Dance of Consciousness...

Your Journey of Shadows leading you into the Light...

Lifting you Homeward to the Stars.

Venus Square Neptune (May 13, 2013)

Things are not what they seem...and depending upon how you understand what the Universe is asking of you, you are either going to end up feeling a bit confused (and perhaps even deceived) or filled with a renewed sense of wonder.

Venus is dancing through Gemini now, and your sensibilities thrill to the delights of exploring the Delicious Diversities of your world. You need to partake in the many nuanced reflections of Aesthetic and Social Sensibilities that you find mirrored within yourself and seek as well in those who accompany you. For now, you are in this Gemini Way of Seeking, Evaluating and Understanding your World, and so every form and experience within it will appear to you as some multi-faceted Jewel, sparkling with many Variations on whatever Subject, Theme or Experience you are participating in. You find that you need and wish to look through the many Windows of Life with a childlike Delight in Discovery, with your Eyes Wide and filled with Wonderment.

However, you may find that these many-mirrored ways become a little more than confusing, and you may in fact stumble into realms of deception and self-deception when Neptune weighs in today. Though partaking in these varieties of value, beauty and culture are most necessary to your development, both as a deepening and broadening of your own relationship to your experience of Love, you may fall into confusion or error as Neptune pushes those facets of your apparent Universe into the Fractals of the greater Multi-Verse.

For it is one thing to understand and appreciate the varied nuances of value within your world, but as you travel beyond the ordinary, you may assume over much that the other before you shares your point of view. Those facets that joined with some agreement and understanding become bent, twisted and dissolve as you fall into the error of misreading another's intention or projecting too much of your view upon them...or it is they who have fallen, projecting their view, their wish or fear upon you. From whichever side, the chances for misunderstanding, delusion and deception are that much higher.

But the Universe is not seeking to lead you astray, it is ever abetting and encouraging your growth which requires that you leave behind the lesser and move into your Greater Awareness. At each step you take you come to the next Certainty, the next level of Truth that will and must hold for a time (but hopefully, over time, you will come to understand that it is all relative, so that you grow in Wisdom and Humility equally).

Always remember, Certainty is very over-rated. When you are certain you will proceed to relate to the other with no adaptability or true empathy, and those miscues and errors will grow and swell and could eventually undo what might have been.

Neptune here offers you a chance, to see that things are not so certain, not so definite and you must open your range of perceptions and expectations if you are to consider matters in a more nuanced light. For a time this can bring about doubts and confusion, as you seek to find your way in this new world of dancing Light and Shadows...

Your confusion is a most necessary price you must pay, again and again, in order to let go of the lesser understanding in order show you the way into the Greater...

For those who are certain, they have their self-made shadows firmly set...

They see but through a glass that is of Darkness and Doubt.

But when you truly open yourself with Wonder and Acceptance...

When you question, and seek and strive to move beyond...

Those Shadows begin to soften, and a New World stands in the Light.

You see the Greater Truth of all in One and One in All...

There Hope and True Love ever prevail...

At the Crossing Point between the Darkness and the Light.

Mercury Conjunct Sun (May 11, 2013)

Hermes has reached his Superior Conjunction with the Sun, and so you too have reached another culmination/revelation in your Journey of Mind. This alignment is when Mercury has come around to the "Far Side" of the Sun relative to you, and so it is more like a "Full Moon" for Mercury and your Mind. When Mercury retrogrades and comes back across the Sun in the Inferior Conjunction, well that alignment is like a "New Moon" for your Mind. Three times in a year, this Mercury cycle of Seeding and Reaping will repeat for you.

Your Journey of Self-Unfoldment is like a Spiral Dance, which swirls around in intricate, intersecting cycles Formed and Guided by all these Lords of Time and Space, most vividly evidenced by the cycle of the Sun and Moon, but also with Mercury and Venus, Mars, Jupiter and out to Pluto too. For they repeatedly meet up and align with one another in a series of Harmonic Alignments based on the division of the 360 degrees of the Circle of Life called the Zodiac. From Conjunction (or "New Moon"), to Waxing First Quarter, to Waxing Trine to Opposition (or "Full Moon") and then back in reverse order to a new Conjunction, each phase carries Energies and Meanings to guide your Journey on Earth.

The last Beginning or New Moon for your Mind was in early March, which is when a fresh offering of new Thought-Forms were seeded into your world during Mercury's last retrograde...Today, is when you are asked to step back and see what you have understood, formed and realized in your journey of Consciousness. The Seed of this present cycle came from Pisces, and your Harvest today is in Taurus.

However, remember, as it is like a "Full Moon" for Mercury, it really is about your understanding the integral relationship of Taurus with its opposite Scorpio, and you need to see how this Awareness is the fulfillment of that Seeding of Meaning that began in Pisces.

That Seeding of Pisces springs from your heart of hearts, and encourages you to believe in your Powers of Imagination, Dreaming and Faith. That through your most precious gift of Intuition, perhaps as you were moving beyond normal mental boundaries in a daydream, or upon awakening from your night's rest after having been graced by a whisper from your Higher Self, you found yourself with a renewed sense of the way in which to approach an old problem, or found inspiration to pursue some altogether new endeavor...Whatever and whichever, a new way of Knowing began to take shape in your mind's eye.

Today you need stand back and see what these Ten Weeks have made manifest, to see how well your new approach has allowed you to resolve the problem you faced, or how well your new idea has become established within the framework of your life.

The vessel of your understanding will be found and formed by this relationship of Taurus and Scorpio, by the Sun and Mercury together while you abide upon Earth. You see illumined the Dream and Idea of Value made Real and Substantial today, brought down from your Mind and come to life in this bountiful Taurus World of Forms. But you equally must turn and see the Truth from Scorpio too, that whatever finer form you have made is only for a time, whether for a day, a month or a hundred years, because the Divine Flame of Spirit must continue the Journey of Becoming and so the World will change and so shall you.

The story and lesson is there to remind you who you are...

Forever and always, you must grow and become...

To continue to Form yourself, and so your world, into ever more perfect forms...

But to always remember that you are Free, and that you are not the form...

You are the Form-Maker, a Creator in Training...

The Dreamer weaving Light into Forms and Worlds...

And you have only just begun.

New Moon in Taurus - Solar Eclipse (May 9, 2013)

This is the first of two Solar Eclipses this year. Here is what I wrote in my General Forecast:

Solar Eclipse in Taurus (May 9)

The first of two Solar Eclipses this year as the Moon crosses the face of the Sun, but because of the Moon's distance from the Earth, it will not completely block the Sun so that there will be a "Ring of Fire" of the Sun's light around the Moon's shadow. This type of alignment is called an annular eclipse (annulus means "bright ring"). This nearly total eclipse will be visible in Northern Australia and the South Pacific and here is a map of its path. Here is an animation showing how the Eclipse will move across the Earth.

The message of the Taurus Solar Eclipse is centered again upon the question of value, but this special New Moon will release a deeper understanding as regards your understanding about the nature of true value, how it arises, grows and is sustained...The answer, quite simply, is that it is to be found in your experience of your Self. It is this, your "treasure in heaven", that you take with you from life to life, and all the efforts you put in to better yourself today will be there as a gift to yourself in this life and in life after life.  

This alignment of Sun, Moon and Earth is a beautiful demonstration of how the Energies and Forms of your Universe are embraced within a Greater Whole, and how each finds Meaning and Support in their intricate patterns that form and informs their relationship with one another. Of course, you and they are constantly engaged in this Song and Dance of Spirit, but in a Solar Eclipse you can actually witness this wondrous example of how you on Earth and these Worlds around you are bound with one another in a great company of Forces, Forms and Formations as you journey in these Spaces of Space together.

Every New Moon provides a release of Spiritual Inspiration to help you understand the next step in your journey of Self-Becoming. But an Eclipsed New Moon carries an even deeper, more mystical message for you. The Sun is the Bearer of your Infinite Potential, it is your Pure Being that is Becoming by moving into and through these realms of Self-Realization. The Moon is the bearer of your past which you stand upon and draw from in life after life. But Luna's Ancient Offerings are often entangled and enmeshed with unseen, non-integrated and unconscious elements whose effects will often manifest as patterns (Emotional Complexes) that inevitably create obstacles and burdens for your journey.

The Eclipse of the Sun, aligned for you so perfectly with the Moon, focuses the Solar Rays so that they burn through these Karmic Shadows, illuminating for you what was beyond your ordinary powers of perception. This may of course, as indeed it should, Precipitate or bring into Illumined Activity that very Karmic Pattern. This will bring about, probably as it must, very painful memories as well as challenging re-enactments of these troubled Energy-Forms...But it is also by so doing the way by which you can ascend to your Greater Understanding...For your Integration and Redemption of these buried treasures, that were caught within these Ancient and most likely Self-Destructive patterns, can only be accomplished by removing your Self-Cast Shadows so that you can re-integrate these Energies into more developed Forms of Self-Realization.

What then is the core message of this Eclipse in Taurus? The principle message that Taurus carries for you is that your source and measure of value is within you, it lies within your heart of hearts, it is your spark of the Divine Flame you know as your Higher Self or the Beloved...it is your "Treasure in Heaven". But between you the Pilgrim seeking to be reunited and to dwell in this Place of Beauty and Peace, with the Spark of the Divine abiding in Eternal and Unconditional Love, between you and your Destiny there is the Great Work, of lifting yourself up and through these forms that Veil you from your Self. For you will often find yourself so Enamored and Glamored by these Material Forms you journey through, you forget who and what you truly are...These Forms permit you to move in these Realms of Matter, but you become lost as in a World of Mirrors, catching the Light of the Spirit in only Refracted and Broken Forms...

But if you would but open your Heart, and Lift your Eyes beyond your Self-Cast Shadows you would see-through into that clearer Sacred Space...And to help you in this, these great Lords of Time and Space Dance and Sing, they bestow their combined energies like beaming bright lights, which dispel those refracted and Illusional appearances so that you can find your way...So that you may make your way Illumined, Loving and Free...

This is what a Solar Eclipse is for...

It is intended to shake you to your core.

To make you sit up and take notice.

To remind you from whence you came...

And to where you must journey.

It is your Servant and Liberator...

Lighting the Way...

For you, the Pilgrim, reaching for the Stars.

Venus Enters Gemini (May 9, 2013)

Venus leaves her Earthy and Luxuriant home realm of Taurus...and your appreciation, enjoyment and indulgences in the Beauty of your physical world will now yield to a different experience and expression of your sensibilities...Venus moves from Earth to Air, and with Gemini the delights that matter will reside in and flow from and to your Mind as you share your experiences, thoughts and ideas with one another.

Gemini delights in comparison and contrast, in curiosities and the delights of Diversity. Your tastes are going to reach out, whether in Music or Food, in Friendship and in Love, as the ordinary will give way to the extraordinary, to expanding and appreciating the delicious variety that your world has to offer.

For the next three weeks, you will bend and stretch, compare and contrast and juggle the delights of the Rainbows of Value, Beauty and Love in your world. You will discover new sensibilities, discuss and debate and share with one another...because this is your time to let a thousand flowers bloom.

With the Eyes of a Child...

With Wonder and Amazement...

Celebrate you and your world...

Surrounded in Beauty.

Mercury Conjunct Mars (May 7, 2013)

Think-Speak-Act...Quick...Now!

There is no delay, there is no time to pause and reflect, no time to talk it over (and perhaps to re-consider)...and therein lies your error, for this is the problem...this is your lesson now (and always).

When Mercury the Messenger aligns with Mars the Passionate, well let's just say that your mind or mouth can get ahead of your better intentions. The excitement or urgency (or anger and frustration) will bubble forth and overpower your mind and disrupt your communications and lead to errors in judgment and/or the breakdown of social sensibilities and graces...

So you need to double-down on your circumspection today...Though you will feel somewhat overwhelmed by this insistent and urgent energy, pushing you to let it out, you must instead restrain those mental enthusiasms (as well as bite your lip and hold your tongue), and turn this energy back in on itself. You can instead use this wonderful infusion to consider the nature of your experience of Thought and Desire, of how you weave your way in that personal dance of Mind and Action.

For that is what this alignment is for, and that is what all of these alignments can bring to you, for they are truly the Symbolic Lessons of Life, sweeping across the heavens...and you must encounter and master them all as part of your Spiritual Journey...For this very reason, there are no "bad" aspects (or planets), it is really how you learn about, and come to be a Master of, the energies that are truly within and surround you too.  

The energies of this particular aspect, if your understanding and will are lacking, may induce thoughtless thinking, rushed decisions and intemperate speech, and that is not the "fault" of either Mars or Mercury. It is that you have not yet achieved enough self-mastery, so the energies overwhelm your more normal and acceptable behavior. Either you heedlessly have less regard and consideration than you would for the other before you, or you experience their over-whelming energies or demands upon you.

Rather than forcing your point of view upon the other, recognize that you must always approach one another with humility and openness, for you "do not know what you do not know", and it is quite likely that by engaging with them in a more considerate discussion you will find your own mind and thoughts achieving a greater nuance and depth. And, if it is the other who is engaged in a rather insistent and one-sided debate, then let them exhaust themselves of this energy before you attempt to bring the matter back to a more reasonable level of mutual give and take.

You need to always strive to become more aware of these energies that flow from and around you, to learn more about them and so harness them to a more constructive, meaningful and self-affirming experience. As always, the lesson for you, as for all who seek to become truly Wise, Loving and Free, is to walk the Noble Middle Path, which can only be found by those who abide in, yet ever strive for, greater and greater Self-Understanding and Self-Control.

Considered in this way, the alignment of Mercury and Mars heralds the beginning of your next cycle of Thought and Action, of your Mental Body imparting new Meanings and Messages to be carried forth and executed by your Desire Body. And it is equally a Quickening for your Mind, as you will receive a new infusion of Enthusiasm and Energy by which your Thoughts may be inspired to reach to even greater heights and depths within your soul, as well as spark a new Cycle of outward substantiation of your Thought-in-Forms too.

The Meaning and Energies of this meeting of your Mind and Desire reside in that most Valued, Sensual and Substantial realm of Taurus. You are offered by their joining a wonderful chance to bring into being what you have imagined, wished and longed for...to move that much closer to Creating, Preserving and Abiding in a world of Beauty, Love and Understanding.

May you pause at this time and listen...with your Heart.

May you begin anew to create a better world...by your Love.

And May you come to abide in a state of Grace and Beauty...with one another.

May it be so.

Mercury Opposition Saturn (May 5, 2013)

Mind informs Matter...Matter binds Mind...Mind evolves Matter...The Spiral Dance repeats!

The cycle of your Mind and Reality have reached their yearly reckoning...Six months ago you began a new cycle of bringing your thoughts into what you always hope to be better forms of Self-Realization...In that realm known as Manas, your Spirit through your Mind ever seeks to move, mold and re-make the Material World you call Reality. From the Ancient Wisdom comes this knowing, that on one level of understanding the Entirety of Creation is just various States of Mind or of Consciousness, that the Universe is in fact the Mind of the One.

Now you will see what you have wrought, how well and wise a Master of Mind and Forms you have become...Now you will see your Thoughts in Matter, see how much you have formed your Mind into Matter, see how Well your Matter reveals your Mind's Intent...but also feel how Much your Mind is now Bound by this Matter you made too.

Much like the general Involution of Spirit into the Material Worlds and the Evolution of Spirit out of Matter (and so the Lifting of Matter up too), your Mind must also descend into these physical realms to realize itself upon this plane. It does this both to grow for itself as well as to participate in the Great Work...For there is but One Life, and all Beings of the One strive continuously to lift themselves up, and by so doing lift all other forces and forms of manifestation, on and up to higher and higher planes of self-realization.

You exist in an exquisitely intricate Hierarchy of Forces and Forms, from the Sub-Atomic to Galactic, and also and more profoundly both Inwardly and Outwardly through countless Dimensions as well, and at the core of each and every instance of these innumerable Forces and Forms there resides a Consciousness-Center that is on its own endless journey of Self-Unfolding, of Self-Becoming...and yet at the same time each such center resides in the Greater Consciousness of the One, whose Center is Everywhere and whose Circumference is Nowhere.

In your present Human Form you experience this most clearly (yet also most painfully) in your experience of Mind or Thought. For, "as you Think so shall you Become"...At this stage of your Self-Becoming, there is no more critical nor difficult "diet" for you to be on than a "Mental Diet". It is quite simple to apply yourself to eat more or less, to move more or less...but to control your Mind? To never, ever let your Mind "wander" or be "distracted", or most importantly to never let yourself dwell in "negative" thoughts...Now that is Hard! Very Hard Indeed...But it is most essential and it is "The Work" you must complete in order to "graduate" from this Earth-Bound Plane.

For most, the only option at this point in your journey is to strive for balance or neutrality. Whenever a disturbing or negative thought or feeling is either directed at you, or arises from within yourself, you need to immediately counterbalance it with a positive thought-feeling so as to reestablish your path towards the goal of a Free Mind...A mind that is Observant but not Judging, that is Nimble but not Distracted, that is Solicitous yet not Controlling...

For your Goal is to Lift your Mind so that it is Free, to raise your Middle Self and Lower Mind and become more like Your Higher Self, To Become the Watcher who is Ever-Watching, Ever-Learning, Ever-Aspiring to be Freer and so to follow the One True path that leads you equally, for in Truth they are One, to Wisdom and Humility.

Today you face your Creation, the thoughts you Held and Wielded (Mercury) went from yourself to inform this Material Realm, they flowed into Forms and so made your present Reality (Saturn)...and you must face this accounting.

To the extent that you were able to think well and so act freely and lovingly, then to that same extent will you find delight and satisfaction in what you have crafted. But to the extent that you were held in thrall by doubts and fear, then to that same extent will you feel yourself weighed down by these self-forged chains of your negativity...

But there is always hope, always. For your Higher Self and many others watch over, guide and inspire you to try yet again...to draw that much closer to them and your destiny, to follow the path that they too followed and make your way to where you will reside with a Mind that is Free, a Heart that is Pure and a Will that is Centered...and so you will.

For your future is ever-unfolding by your own hands, heart and mind.

For all that is around you, you made this...long, long ago. And it is done and you must accept what you have wrought so far...

But what is to be, what is to come will to a very great extent be formed by How and What you think of today, and tomorrow and for the next millennia too...

Think Well, Act Wisely...

and always, always

Go with Love.

 

Mercury Enters Taurus (May 1, 2013)

It has only been 18 days while Mercury dashed through the sign of Aries, and although he is moving into that much more steadied, focused and wonder-filled sensual realm of Taurus, he is still picking up speed and will only be here for 14 days before diving into that frisson of fractal, distracting diversities found in Gemini...So, you better take advantage of this respite for your body, mind and spirit...you need and deserve this!

The passage of Mercury in Aries was a baptism by Fire, of Idealisms and Enthusiasms that inspired your thoughts and added urgency to your communications...But because you have yet to master this much energy as well as you will, the result is oftentimes conducive to, shall we say, more or less errors of excess and/or recklessness. Thoughts can fly so fast (and the words and actions that then follow) that you certainly could have found yourself wishing for some way to take part or all of it back...

But the Law of the Universe is Fair but Final, once you Create something, for good or ill, whether they be thoughts, feelings, words or works, you own it...and it will come back to you, and you must make your amends...But this is how you learn, to face and understand Cause and Effect...so that over-time you will acquire the Greater Awareness and so become Self-Masterful.

So, take a deep breath, hold it, and now release and relax...it is time to put your Mind and Spirit upon a more stable and tangible footing, it is literally time to get Earthy...Now you need to take a more gentle, easy-going approach to what you think and how you convey it...For this is Mercury in Taurus and you need to tamp down those passionate ideals and shining visions...you need to take your mind into a more real, practical and sustainable space.

Fancy slogans and fiery speeches are all well and good, but now you need to reassure, protect and preserve what is valuable, beautiful and good...

Now you need to follow the Code of the Caretakers, for one another and for your world...

You must abide in the Way of We are all Related, and be guided by the injunction, "First, do no harm".

And then affirm and repeat the great invocation...

"Now our Minds are One!"
