Mitakuye Oyasin -- We are all Related

You are of one Family, and
you walk the same Noble Path in...

Truth

You are here to Grow,
As you help one another from darkness to Light by...

Love

You are the Path as You Live by Truth & Love, and
this is known as "The Way"...it is,

The Love of Truth...The Truth of Love.

Your Avatars of Beauty and Meaning have a message for you today...

Today these treasured two offer you a wonderful affirmation of your precious Foundation and awesome Destiny. Jupiter and Venus have aligned on either side of you, and they each hold forth from these realms of your Origin and Purpose, from Cancer and Capricorn. From these Polar Positions, they embody the Twin Pillars that form the Heartwood of your Tree of Life, of how Truth and Love are the two integral Principles that form the core of your Path through this Universe. 

Jupiter is your Avatar of Truth, who is shining by the Light of Cancer now. It is here that Jupiter Illuminates the Fountain-Source of your Journey in Time and Space, which is quite simply that your path was set by your origin as a child of the One Divine. That you are a spark of this Divine who abides in your core, and because of this you are part of a vast extended family that encompasses the whole of Creation, for "we are all related" as we have our beginning and our end in the One.

Venus is your Avatar of Love, who is shining by the Light of Capricorn now. It is here that Venus Illuminates the Heart of your Journey in Time and Space, which is quite profoundly that your Love, which is the force that holds you to one another, that this love is most beautifully felt and shared as you extend a helping hand to all those who come after you, while you in turn with gratitude accept the love in the hand stretched out by the ones who watch over you...For you are part of a magnificent Hierarchy of Life-Spirit-Consciousness, and that your Caring Responsibility for one another is how you give and receive the blessings of love and fulfill your destiny as a one of the One.

From these two Avatars you can know this, that you are in your spiritual essence the same as every energy, particle and being in this Creation. Those beautiful Planets above were once as you are, and you will become as they are too...and more. You, like those Stars and Planets, and all the forms of consciousness within and around you, all of THAT forms a luminous, self-unfolding ribbon of Life-Consciousness-Spirit, and this is the Divine dancing and singing Creation.

What you share with everything and everyone is this, that behind and residing at the core of every speck of this wondrous, ever-unfolding Creation is a unique Monad of Consciousness, which is a Spark of the One. That spark of awareness is the Prime Mover, it is the ever-striving, the "forever reaching upwards" (and inwards), and it is this that propels you and all of Creation too.

For each and every Monad share this same Spiritual Drive, formed by this Essence, an Energy you have come to know as Love. And because of this, all of Creation is guided by one fundamental Spiritual Injunction which is "To Grow", and all follow one Spiritual Imperative which is to "Love One Another".

All of these countless Infinitesimals and Infinities are working through these Realms of Spirit-Matter, where all Energies and Forms have as their essence and at their core a Spark of the Divine. Every Individualizing Consciousness is on a never-ending journey through these bodies of Spirit-Matter, that in their totality form the One Body of Creation, which is the Manifestation of the Divine in Time and Space.

All of this Supernal Creation is within you, surrounds you and binds you with and to one another. The Divine that is The One is becoming through you and your companions, as you reach higher and higher to ever more sublime planes of Awareness, Love and Being.

You are part of a vast Hierarchy of Spirit and Light. You are like a younger sibling to those magisterial Planetary beauties who sing and dance through the Empyrean realms above...you are part of their family and they are part of yours...And just as you will help your children to find and to be themselves, your elder brothers and sisters extend their love to help you as you make your way to the stars too. Their swirling dances sweep all around you, their Song of Light and Love is your song too, and so you will look up in wonder and gratitude, as you read their signs and symbols that they trace above for Inspiration and Guidance while you sojourn here below.

Venus and Jupiter offer their gift of Inspiration for you today:

Your truth is that you travel in a family of Light...

That is encompassed by a Love Divine.

You are here to Love and to care for one another...

And You will give, and you will receive

With Gratitude, with Love.

Gazing in Wonder and Humility

At Your Luminous Family above,

See them Dancing through the spaces of Space,

With Love for one and for all.

Uranus Square Pluto - Heliocentric (November 23, 2013)

Your world changed.

Fifty years ago,

Things would never be the same...

And you realized, you sensed that,

There's something happening here.

So,

All you Sleeping Souls,

Wake Up!

This is the day that Uranus and Pluto make their one "true" alignment of a waxing square, when perceived by Sun-Centered or Heliocentric Reckoning. The waxing square marks the moment in any cycle when one is faced with a choice, and there is joyful opportunity and sorrowful danger at each corner you turn...The square is experienced by most as a Crisis, encompassing Danger and Opportunity, and what is to be faced is your challenge to face down your Fear and abide in Faith, to know that you are Spirit, an Immortal and Self-Luminous, to answer Hate by Love, to rise and abide in a Higher Form of Being...or, to fail and fall again, to surrender to fear and fall back...and have to wait for your next opportunity to let go of Fear, and grow...

It is a choice, the most important decision you will make in every single step you take, for in every moment, as you turn all those corners of your life, the question is will you be Awake, will you be Present, how will you choose to live NOW...For in every day you face such moments, to choose to care or stay removed and apart, to help one another or not, each such challenge and opportunity that comes to you in all these turnings in your life can be the next step in your becoming part of the solution...but this turning, this time right now, this one matters more than any you have faced so far...

For this is about your Spiritual Truth, of how you reconcile Freedom and Order, and you need to find the way of Truth, to hold to the Way of Love to heal yourself and your world too...

Roughly Fifty years ago, Uranus and Pluto renewed their cycle of this ever-unfolding offering for you, so that you might again experience a renewal of Self-Quickening, to rise above your personal desires and fears and turn towards the Light and Love within you, to live as you are destined to be...And by so doing to also help your brave and loving companions to lift this world of shadows into a greater Light and Love too...

Yes, Fifty years ago your world changed, and you are now at the next Turning in your life...and now you must choose...Listen to the poets of "Public Enemy" as they sing to you of your choice. Here are the final lines in their song "He Got Game", which many will recognize as a restatement, as a truthful testament held in the song from when Uranus and Pluto last called for you to "wake up" in the 1960's, the Anthem of Awareness by Buffalo Springfield, "For What It's Worth":

HE GOT GAME

There's something happening here (Yeah yeah)

What it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man, with a gun over there (Yeah that's right hah haha)

tellin me, I got to beware

It's time we stop, children what's that sound?

Everybody look what's goin, down

(Aiyo, I don't think they heard you Stevie

Kick it to em again one more time)

It's time we stop, children what's that sound?

Everybody look what's goin, down

Haha, that's right boy, PE in full effect boy to the year 2000 yo

Stop, look, what's that sound

Everybody knows what's goin down

Come on sing it

Sing it again y'all come on

Hey!

He-hey!!!

Aiyo, these are some serious times that we're livin in G

And a new world order is about to begin, y'know what I'm sayin?

Now the question is - are you ready, for the real revolution

which is the evolution of the mind?

If you seek then you shall find that we all come from the divine

You dig what I'm sayin?

Now if you take heed to the words of wisdom

that are written on the walls of life

then universally, we will stand and divided we will fall

because love conquers all, you understand what I'm sayin?

This is a call to all you sleepin souls

Wake up and take control of your own cipher

And be on the lookout for the spirit snipers

tryin to steal your light, y'know what I'm sayin?

Look within-side yourself, for peace

Give thanks, live life and release

You dig me? You got me?

 

Here is the Music Video:

He Got Game

Sun Enters Sagittarius (November 21, 2013)

 

The Way of Truth 

You have sung for the joy of Union,

and wept heartfelt tears for your Losses too.

You have sought that sweet promise, the Self-Transcendent,

For though Immortal, you still struggle...

To Understand and Master this Mortal Way.

Having scaled the heights and plumbed the Depths of your Feelings for one another, you have need to see all of this now in a more supernal light, you look for some way to make sense, you search for greater clarity in the joy and solace for your pain...you seek the way that leads to Peace.

You must ever strive to reach a higher, more encompassing view...And, if you wish to Understand, you will need to let go of what you think you know, for only by this will you find a way to a more accepting and inclusive path...Only by this will you find an answer...and if you assent and if you accept... well, then you will truly Grow.

You must take your leave of Water now, and enter this last of the Realms of Fire, you will enter this Sanctum of Serenity, the way that is known as Sagittarius.

Now you will walk in the Halls of Wisdom, and you will bow down before Sages and Seers. For though your journey is your own sweet song of Spirit, and you are here to make it authentic and true, you should know that many have come this way before and they sought what you long for too...

These questions of life are the ever-returning reminders that in your essence you are a Sparkling Star of unfolding, awakening Self-Awareness. That your journey is encompassed within an ever-evolving Hierarchical Host, seen as a wondrous Ribbon of Light, in which you are as a drop in a continuous stream of Life-Consciousness-Spirit...And because this is the Journey of Spirit, a spiraling and never-ending procession through time and space, countless ones have come before you as they sought and won their way to a Greater Understanding...and because of this, because of what and who they became, you will find their Gift of the Spirit, their offering of Solace and Serenity for you.

Whether in the Halls of Science or Philosophy, or in the Catacombs of Religion or Law, there abides behind them all the Ancient Teachings which form the true Fountain Source of Understanding. These teachings are revered and preserved by those who form the Vanguard of Wisdom and Love, for it is they who hold and pass on these Perennial Teachings that have been the hidden Treasure, the Pearl of Great Price for countless Ages.

It is your time to dip your cup of seeking into this Well of Wisdom, to better explain and understand what you have experienced thus far in your journey. For you have need to harvest the meaning of your experiences so that you can accept and prepare for what is yet to come...

Yet, it is equally true and wondrous that you are here to add your measure of truth to this Well of Wisdom too. For every story is a treasure that must be told, every hard-earned lesson should be shared to help another upon their path...For the core of the Teaching is that you are never alone and that as you have been helped, so must you offer what help you can too.

You will expand your frames of reference, finding much delight in those so-called foreign ways. Though reminding you of your common needs and nature and yet how you differ in the way those needs are met, you will be given by these contrasting views a clearer sense of your own ways of being, and how this forms and informs the way of you.  

The Wisdom you seek is found in many forms and in many spaces. In halls of learning and with those wise ones, yes. But also in the simple yet elegant examples found in the beauties of Nature, in Forests and Fields, in the rhythms of the Seasons, and the cycling of the Sun and Moon and Stars...and in that simple necessity of learning to live in harmony with your world.

The Wisdom you seek is all around, and resides deep within you too...

And, if you sincerely seek for this guidance...

Then a way will open...

Your answer will come,

In the Light of a Dawning Day.

Full Moon in Taurus (November 17, 2013)

The Path of Spirit

The Perennial Truth....in Ever-Changing Forms

The Absolute...in Time and Space

Divine Love...seen through one and All

The Way, the Path...

To Hold, to Let Go...To Grow Forever.

Your journey through the Stars, your Self-Unfoldment in Time and Space has brought you to this wondrous time, this most critical moment in your Spiral Journey upon this luminous Hierarchical Ribbon of Life-Consciousness-Spirit. The Beings who follow after you as well as those who extend a helping hand from above, they tremble with awe and reverence for what you face now...For the Human Kingdom of life forms is most special, for here you have reached "The Crossing" of the Spiritual Journey, here you face the Awesome Challenge...For here you are given the great Gift of Choice, here you will learn, for you must learn this here, you will learn to Choose to do the Good, here you will choose to face down your fears, it is here that you choose to Love.

The beings who follow you, they have not yet fully come into their self-reflective awareness, they do what is right because of what you call instinct (the guidance of their Group Soul), and those Shining Ones ahead of you, well for them they made their choice long ago, and part of that choice was their sacred decision to abide on this side of Creation and extend their helping hand for you...for in the end it is only this...it is All about learning to Love, you are here to choose Love.

This Full Moon in Taurus is the companion, the necessary compliment and "answer" to the Full Moon in Scorpio...For that is the way of this, each and every Sign and Planet are in a wondrous Polyphonic Harmony of Song and Dance with one another. They are of and form a Whole by integrating, complimenting, informing and balancing one another.

Each Full Moon illustrates a Great Truth that you must know and live, each provides you with another marker so that you may stay true, to hold to that One True Path, The Way.

The Full Moon in Scorpio six months ago was offered to help you, lovingly embodied in the great Exemplar and teaching of The Buddha, so that you might Understand and Accept the transient nature of your Physical Forms and Life Experiences that you will encounter upon these many Worlds and Forms through which you travel. For you must accept the Wisdom to find and follow this Noble Path of Non-Attachment. Your True and Abiding Nature is Spirit, and though you will pass through many, many Times and Spaces, your never-ending journey is beyond any Fixed Form of Self-Becoming.

This Full Moon in Taurus offers another of these annual gifts that mark your Journey through the Stars. For as much as you need to accept and understand the ephemeral nature of these worlds of Matter when the Sun is sweeping through that most Earthy Realm of Taurus, you need this Loving Offering of Taurus now to find your way in this time of Water, in this Realm of Scorpio. As you face the Joys of Union and the Pains of Separation and Loss, as you seek to find your way when all is Changing and you fear there is nothing that will last, you need to know that there is Hope and there is Light, for there is an Abiding Love that will never fade away.

The Message for you is this: That as much as these worlds of Manifestation are Ephemeral and Transitory, they are also the very embodiment of the One made manifest by and through the many. These Hosts of Light and Consciousness form the Radiant Raiment, the Robe of Glory of the Divine that resides at the heart of each Spark of the Divine, for each is a Self-Unfolding Presence, each is an ever becoming Life-Consciousness Spirit...and you are one of these ones...

For at the Core of every single instance, at the heart of every Infinitesimal Speck of Creation there resides the One, the Spark of the Divine, who you know and you will feel, and so you will Smile and you will Sing for Joy, for you shall live forever and ever in this Pure Unconditional Love.

This is your Destiny...

To be the Ever-Changing, Yet Changeless...

To Be, and Not to Be...

To be One, and to be Many...

To be Love, and be Loved.

As it is was invoked six months ago at the Sacred Turning of the Full Moon of Scorpio, and should be lived and reside in the Heart of all of the Ones of the One through every step in their journey, hold now in your mind and heart and may your steps be guided by the Great Invocation:

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of light within the Mind of God

Let Light stream forth into our minds

Let LIGHT descend on Earth.

From the point of love within the Heart of God

Let Love stream forth into our hearts

May LOVE increase on Earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known

Let purpose guide our wills

The PURPOSE which the masters know and serve.

From the center which we call Humanity

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out

And may it seal the door

where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Neptune Turns Direct (November 13, 2013)

You are the Dreamer...

You are the Creator...

You are the Architect and the Builder,

You are the Cause and the Effect,

You are the Sleeper who is Waking...

To the Dawn of your New Day.

I wrote about this shift of sublime energies in the 2013 Forecast:

Neptune Direct (November 13 until June 9, 2014)

The Lord of Faith and Imagination bids you bring your dreams into Reality...You have been travelling upon those inner pathways of Inspiration, but now Neptune will show you the ways in which you can weave those numinous webs of what might be into your Reality. 

You have dreamed and imagined much in the past 5 months, as Neptune in retrograde encouraged you to turn your awesome powers of Clear-Seeing Illumination back upon yourself. This was so that you might re-consider the ways in which you perceive yourself, to discern and grow in wisdom, to pierce beyond the Illusion and be humbled by the Insight of your true nature.

For it is only from this Greater Self-Awareness, only by removing another layer formed by your Assumptions and Misperceptions, only by approaching your Higher Self with Greater Humility and Faith, only in this Pathway of Self-Perfection can you prepare yourself for what you are meant to be. For by Seeking, Striving and Gaining this Self-Knowledge you are then prepared to address with Brighter Beams of Illuminating Wisdom these Wondrous but Illusionary Worlds through which you must travel.

Clearer now, wiser now...Lord Neptune, your Avatar of Illumination who helps you to dissolve the Illusions of Separation, your Blue Orbed Mystical Muse is calling upon you now to turn more of your Dreaming-Clear-Seeing powers upon the world around you. For as much if not more than your misconceptions of yourself, those shifting patterns of appearances are greatly magnified by the myriad confusions that will be encountered when you attempt to understand one another.

Neptune, as before, will offer aid and comfort here. For as much as you needed to forgive yourself, to let go of your misunderstandings about your true nature, you must equally approach the question of the one before you with even greater Humility and Grace. Neptune reminds you that what divides you from one another is so much less than what holds you to each other.

For Neptune is the Avatar of Spiritual Love, founded upon the Awesome Truth that you are of One Spirit, you are of and for one another, and that the Source of Light and Truth in this Universe, what holds all of Creation together is this Love, this force that Binds one and all to the One Everlasting.

You must lead with Neptune now, you will lead with Compassion and Kindliness, for this is the only path you can take if you are to truly meet one another as it was, is and will always be, in Spirit and Truth. You must humbly look beyond your misconceptions and little differences and see the Greater that is there before you, for what you behold is but a Mirror and Muse of your own true nature.

You must look with Neptune, to look through and beyond this Veil of Matter, you must step into the Light and the Shadows will fall, these Veils of Earthly Finery will be swept away to reveal the Glory that is before you.

And if you do, if you look with no expectation, no preconception...

If you look upon one another as you were made to do,

With Unconditional Love and Understanding...

Then, you will gasp and you will bow...

You will drop down on bended knee and declare,

"Oh, what a wonder, what beauty...

This Presence, This Joy,

This Divinity"!

Mercury Turns Direct (November 10, 2013)

Time to Turn...

The next shift in your Inward/Outward Web of Connectivity is here as Hermes pivots and so must you. Now is your time of opportunity to apply the lessons learned over the past three weeks, now is your moment to renew your unions with one another.

I wrote of this turning in my General Forecast for 2013:

Mercury Direct (November 10 until February 6, 2014)

The third and final of the three Mercury retrogrades is over. Time to put into motion the purposes and plans that you had to put on hold for the last three weeks. You have cleared the way for deeper, truer Unions and it is time to see how much more you can grow...together. 

For three weeks you have peered within. You were given this opportunity to consider once again what qualities, conditions and patterns have their hold on you and might hold you back, consciously and unconsciously, from the Union you seek, have or wish to preserve. You quite simply but profoundly had to face your fears...

You are endowed with this power of Self-Reflection because of your Spiritual core, the Spark of the Divine, that ceaselessly urges you to grow and become. You can and should use this wondrous gift at any time, but it is during these Mercurial passes between you and the Sun that you are given this greater power to perceive your shadowed-self.

For your present self-awareness is a dim reflection of the Self that abides at your center, the one who is The Watcher. Your human or developing self, who is being ever guided by this Higher Self, is still bound and caught by many reactionary patterns, those energy-actions formed by the echoes of your past that hold you in thrall to your anxieties and fears. 

You had another opportunity, in the last three weeks, to make some small or greater effort towards removing those shadows that might prevent or harm your unions with one another. You found a deeper Truth about your Fear of Rejection.

For when acting on the basis of this fear, the Fear that you will be rejected, you ended up creating self-protective, reactive patterns that brought about the very thing you were attempting to avoid. By acting in Fear, you could only bring about the very thing you were most trying to avoid, Rejection and Loss...for Fear begets Fear.

You learned that it was about facing down this fear that you really hold within yourself. You learned to transform that reactionary pattern through acceptance and Love...of Yourself. You moved closer to what is your Truth, closer to Unconditional love. You let go of Fear, and you chose not to reject yourself. 

And now you must move forward again...

Now you must apply your new-found wisdom...

And, if by chance the one before you has done their work...

Well then a better, brighter day will dawn for you two.

Jupiter Stationary Retrograde (November 6-7, 2013)

This turning was mentioned in my General Forecast for 2013:

Jupiter Retrograde (November 6-7 until March 6, 2014)

Jupiter, who ever encourages you grow beyond your former frames of reference, takes you on another inner journey of growth, to explore your beliefs and truths as you listen for those whispers from your higher self. This time he is in Cancer, so you need to reexamine the root beliefs that nurtured your beginnings and may still inform, inspire and guide you now. Ponder a piece of wisdom in this very old saying, "That it is a very good fortune to be born and brought up in a belief...but it is a terrible misfortune to die in that belief."  

You are here to Grow, but not all of your growth will or should lead you to something Higher, Larger, or Greater in scope...

In fact, you will find that your most important growth will take you Inwards, as you travel within and experience those Infinite, Inner Worlds and more Subtle Dimensions that are the source of all these outward forms. Your greatest explorations and discoveries will take place in these realms, that lie beyond and behind this physically beautiful but often Illusionary plane of your Earthly vehicle. For you must remember, and you should literally "pinch" yourself and say, "This is not what or who I am, this is merely the form I must take to be in these worlds of Matter..."  

Whenever a Planet turns retrograde, its function and purpose for you is turned too, turned so as to bring the focus of its Meanings upon your Inner Worlds, to bring more awareness to you regarding your Subtle Bodies and Higher Nature, to bring you back to your Truth in Spirit.

In fact, because of this (or some would add, because all Planets will make their closest approach to Earth when retrograde), the Power and Strength of a Planet's offerings for you are that much greater when Retrograde, because it is now focused upon and helping to elicit and bring forth the very Noumena of your Being, the Underlying and Undying Truth of what you truly are...For you are Spirit, who at this time happens to be learning and growing through and upon this material plane...but you need to remember from where you came and to where your Journey will take you...you need to live by and you need to be your Truth.  

So, though many projects, functions and activities of your life over the next four months will continue to grow in and through this Material Plane, of course they will and must, for you have given them Energy and Form and they will continue upon their own path of Material Unfoldment...It is you, The Dreamer and Creator, it is you who will need to turn your intention and attention to consider more what is behind and within yourself and your world.

Jupiter is your Avatar of Principles, Truths and Understanding and helps to form the Attitudes and Intentions that direct you upon your one True Path, which is to grow. This turning is for you, and being that Jupiter is in Cancer, you are offered another opportunity to understand what forms the Fountain Source of you in this part of your Journey. What are the Spiritual Foundations of your life, what Root Principles, Beliefs, Truths or Religions inform and guide your ways? What do you stand upon, Where do you come from...and Where are you Going?

Take this time to look within, to consider what forms your Foundation in Truth, what holds you to your Intention to become and grow...

For you are ever Seeking, to Find your Way, to Find your Path...

You will go here and there, asking of many Seers and Readers, Wise Ones and Teachers, Guides and Gurus, seeking to know, "What should I Do, Where shall I go?"

When all along, of course, the answer was there waiting...Within.

The question you need answered is not Where are you Going...

The question is, Do you know from whence you came?

For Knowing this, you will smile, and you will turn...

Pointing to your Heart, as you look up to the Heavens, you will say...

"Here is my home, there is my Destiny".

Venus Enters Capricorn (November 5, 2013)

Well...you best take a deep breath and sit down, get comfortable now because this is going to be a rather long journey for you and Venus. Your Avatar of Value, Beauty and Love will normally skip through a sign in about 3 weeks, but this sojourn in Capricorn is going to last over 4 Months!

Of course, there is a very good reason for this, as Venus will be turning retrograde just before she makes it to the next sign of Aquarius. Then she will "back up" into the middle of Capricorn, as she moves from her position as your Evening Star (Hesperus) to become the Bringer of Light as your Morning Star (Lucifer), before she moves forward again. She will finally enter Aquarius on March 5, 2014, all in all that is a very long time for Venus to abide in the Realm where Saturn rules...

You have had your time in Sagittarius to prepare for this, to extend your sensibilities, stretch your understanding and enhance your appreciation for art and beauty, all so that you might bring new growth to your life and new depth to your love.

But after every soaring moment in those realms of Fire, the Circle of Life must bring you back and through another Earthy Realm. For it is not enough to be inspired by visions, to dream great dreams and ponder greater truths...You are here on this Plane of Substance to bring this all into manifestation, to take your Values, Beauties and Loves, to bring them into Matter, to make them Tangible and Real, to make and leave a legacy of your Love.

Venus in Capricorn is about your Responsibility to Value, Beauty and Love, for you are part of a marvelous column of Lives that stretch back beyond imagining, and you and they have fashioned and formed your selves and your world for a very long while indeed.

You need to honor what has been passed down to you, for it has stood the tests of time. Knowing this, your awareness will lift and so guide you to this moment with Gratitude and Reverence, for it is the time, in the here and now, you shall take up your Duty once again and add a little something more.

For The Work is far from over, your Destiny too distant to see or understand. But you can discern "The Way" in this moment, of what is asked of you, always...You will extend a helping hand below to one who needs you now, as you reach with your other to clasp the hand which is lovingly offered to you from just above. For you are here to be Faithful to one another, you are here to be Responsible for one another...You are here because of Love.

For this Unbroken Chain of Creation is formed and forged by one and all...

You are one another's Keeper, steadfast and holding True.

You are coming out of the Fire-Mists, with Singing and Burning Love,

You are coming to this Earthy Realm again,

To Bring Light and Love,

For One and for all.

New Moon, Solar Eclipse in Scorpio (November 3, 2013)

This second and final Solar Eclipse for 2013 is rather special as I noted in my overview for 2013:

Solar Eclipse in Scorpio (November 3)

The second of two Solar Eclipses this year, and it is putting on a rather unusual show...in fact it is for this reason named a "Hybrid Eclipse". What is that? It is sort of a total and partial eclipse combined. Here is the scientific analysis. Here is an animation of the eclipse moving across the Earth. It will be at least partially visible in eastern North America and northern South America, and crosses over to western and central Africa by the end.

The Eclipse in Scorpio will more starkly reveal an awesome challenge and opportunity that is to be found in this seeding of meaning. There is no greater struggle and no higher reward than what you will find here...But first you must confront your greatest fears that now will stand revealed to you. For it is always in these darkest hours that you will find your answers...and you will see that from the shadows a presence veiled reveals its wondrous Light. 

Every New Moon is special for it brings the promise of renewal, another gift of Spiritual Inspiration to help guide you upon your path of Self-Awakening...But two times per year (usually) you will get an even more special Gift of the Spirit when the Sun, Moon and  Earth align perfectly to form a Solar Eclipse. You will witness a play of Light and Shadows that beautifully Illuminates how you and these Worlds with whom you travel are spiraling through these magisterial Spaces of Space in a most wondrous and magical Dance of the Planets.

Every year, the New Moon of Scorpio releases a most special Seed of Meaning, to guide you in a most important task, which is to become freed from the shadows cast by your lower bodies or vehicles, these Illusions of Matter. For you will eventually move beyond these Shadows, beyond the crossing point and into the Light, as you Awaken to the Heart and Truth of the One Reality, of the Underlying/Overarching and Infinitesimal/Infinite Reality in which you truly abide...Spirit.

You are a Spark of the Divine, you are Spirit who is now "caught" in your necessary, but separate from one another, vehicles of matter...and yet you will hear those intuitive whispers, you will feel the essential nature of what you truly are, as you constantly strive in all these worlds and forms through which you journey, as you ceaselessly, longingly and lovingly seek to reach across that apparent divide and "touch" one another, to join with one another, to become one with one another again.

So it is at the New Moon in Scorpio that you are given a renewal of this Knowing, a reminder that the Illusion is Separation, and the Enduring Truth is that you are part of one another, for you are made by and through one another. This being so, your guiding principle should always be with whomever is before you now, that as you look into their eyes and see there behind and beyond the present form, what you lovingly know and recognize is there you are too...for "I am That, I am".

You will one day achieve this knowing-loving way of being, but you are held back for now by the Shadows of your Past, you are not what you could be because of your fears...And here is where the Eclipse in Scorpio provides an even more potent gift for you.

Each New Moon brings a renewal of Spiritual Meaning from the Sun passed down to you through the Moon. The Moon is your Mediatrix, the Keeper and Bearer of your past, and so she helps to form the forms of your present reality. The Moon modulates and passes onto you these Solar Rays so that they may become integrated into your life here on Earth.

But this also means that mixed into the Gifts from the Sun will be the Karmic Shadows of your past: your doubts, your anxieties and your fears. So the promised re-birth of the New Moon will be circumscribed, necessarily, by how far you have come upon the path of Karma. Here is where the Eclipse provides another Gift of Spirit.  

Because the Solar Ray is so perfectly aligned with the Moon and then to Earth, it creates a sharper Illumination and Burning through of those Self-Cast, Karmic Shadows. What might have been missed, or misunderstood, is seen in a clearer light and you are able to step across that Divide, to stand between the Darkness and the Light and experience the greater Truth that is there.

You can see more clearly how some patterns you have held to also have their hold on you, they are very dear and familiar for you, yet they will often propel you into reactive-actions that were not self-affirming but truly self-destructive. That is because they were formed in and based upon fear and not love. The Eclipse will illuminate these Shadows, they will be thrown into stark relief and become activated. But you will have the new-found wherewithal to see them for what they are, and you will be given a chance to choose...

You will face your Fears, which in Scorpio is the Fear of Rejection, the Fear of Loss. And you must choose to not reject yourself by acting in fear, but instead by showing your Truth in Faith and your Strength in Love.

You have Faith, for you know what and who you are, you know from where you came and that your destiny is to be Fearless.

You have Love, for you know that at the core of you and the one before you resides the same Spiritual Spark, and that as in your Origin you are to live and love as One.

By this Faith and in this Love you will offer to the Beloved a Shared Sacred Space...

You will take your chance, you will face down you fears...

And so by choosing wisely, in Faith and Love,

Then maybe, just maybe, they will smile and join you there.
