Happy New Year! (December 31, 2014)

Saturn Enters Sagittarius (December 23, 2014 )

I wrote of this turning in my 2014 Forecast:

Saturn Enters Sagittarius (December 23, back to Scorpio June 14, 2015 and back into Sagittarius Sept 17, 2015 until December 2017)

The Avatar of Reality is moving into Sagittarius, but he will pause at the threshold of this sign and go back into Scorpio from June until September of 2015, so you will be straddling these two signs too as he dances between them. You have faced many lessons of Union while Saturn was in Scorpio, and now you will be encouraged to take your next step...to Understand and move towards Wisdom.

Avatar of Reality,

Your Weaver of Forms,

Master of Manifestation,

Dear Saturn…is Moving on.

 

For over two years now,

You have met your “Tests of Union”.

Your heart did tremble in Joy,

For here the Illusion was shattered,

Two, now one, held in a supernal light.

 

But the path you walk ,

is a winding and circuitous way.

With Joining comes Separation,

In Joy you will also meet Pain.

 

For this is the Way it is done,

You will learn, and learn again.

Although you are Immortal,

You are for only a short while,

In your temporal, mortal frames.

 

You have laughed,

And you have wept.

You went beyond your Fear,

And you fell into Despair.

 

So it is time,

For the wheel to turn again.

To move through and beyond,

The swirling, sweeping tides of your emotions.

It is time, it is time,

It is time to Understand.

 

After all you felt in this realm of Water,

You need to return to source,

To bind together, what was-is-will be,

Into the One Reality, into

The Everlasting Now.

 

You look for that peace

That lies deep within yourself.

To bring what is beyond your words,

To bring it now into the Light,

And so know the Truth you bear.

 

So you dip your beggar’s cup,

Into the Well that is Wisdom,

But you must also Give.

Your soulful story, you gentler heart,

Is what you kindly offer up.

 

For you and I are Storytellers,

Sharing precious moments along the way,

Moving in and out of shadows,

We walk the Path we Made,

We are the Path we Made,

We are the Light we Made. 

Sun Enters Capricorn & New Moon in Capricorn & Uranus Turns Direct (December 21, 2014)

Initiation

The Twelve Stations, The Twelve Steps…

You have arrived at the next turning.

This is the Fourth Portal,

This is the step of Mastery.

 

The Four Turnings, The Four Initiations…

The Sacred Portals to Perfection,

This is your Path.

For you are here to Square the Circle,

To Reveal the Inner Light, and

You will rise into your Splendor.

 

You are at the Fourth Turning,

Climbing your Path of Purposefulness.

At this tipping point you turn again,

To Face the Darkness, the long Winter’s Night.

You turn with your Faith,

You turn to face the Light.

 

The Sun will set, and you will hold your breath,

Never lower, the shadows fall.

All on Earth are standing-still,

You and your world will wait.

You look for a Sign, the Promise,

The Re-Turning of the Light.

 

You move through Sacred Spaces, for as you abide in your own Sacred Space you also move in the Sacred Spaces of one and all, and all these hosts abide in the Sacred Space that is the One. You are a spark of the Divine, endowed with Self-Awareness, Intelligence and Love. Your journey is long, taking you through many worlds and forms and lives…Why?

Why...so that you may grow, for that is your nature. You are Spirit, an Immortal in a Mortal Frame. You ever abide yet also come out from the One into these worlds of Energy-Forms. You came forth as an unself-conscious spark of the Divine to become a Self-aware being of Light-Love. You learn by Action/Reaction, by choosing one way then another, and then trying again…

And over time, over countless lives and by innumerable steps upon the Path of Light you learn to choose what is better, you learn to discern what is the Good, as you come to feel and know what is Truer, what is Wiser…and so you choose to be what you are, a being of Light and Love singing your way home.

Each and every single step you take…is a Test. A test of Awareness, a test of Love and a test of Will. Each and every moment you pass through portals, through another “Initiation”. You choose to give, or to take. You choose to act, or to react. You choose to live in Love, or to fall into Fear…but you are human now, you have a choice. The Angels envy you, for they who know the way, they are the Way, and they do not Choose as you. You are learning to be, to become a Conscious Co-Creator of Creation's Song...and you must choose.

Every moment counts, there is no wasted effort, no achievement that does not echo down through all your many lives, no lesson learned that will not form and forge your Diamond Body of Spiritual Strength. Your failures are your “treasures”, for from them you learned how to be better, it is how you found your compassion, your humility and grace.

Today, tonight you mark another special moment in your Journey of Twelve, these Magnificent Mansions of Life, the Supernal realm formed by the Living Ones, the Zodiac. You (and they) are Energy-Forms, and tonight you enter the Master Mansion, tonight you move into Capricorn.

The Fourth Turning is here, the Fourth Initiation. For each season opens with this, all of creation waits on what is to be…The first is Fire, in Aries, the Vernal Equinox. The second is Water, in Cancer, the Summer Solstice. The third is Air, in Libra, the Autumnal Equinox. Today is Earth, in Capricorn, the Winter Solstice.

At each of these turnings ceremonies are held, heads are bowed and those who are ready arise. All these turnings are sacred, but none is held as more sacred than this, the fourth. Here the Hierarchy is celebrated, the Golden Chain of Light, Love and Will that holds all of Creation in and as the One Life. You are a precious dew-drop, a sparkling particle of Spirit on this Golden Chord of Life-Consciousness-Spirit.

There are many who follow you, they look up to you, those for whom you care; and there are many ahead of you, who hold you in their hearts, as they extend what help they can as you reach for their loving hands. For this is the heart of it, standing in this Darkening Time suffused and Illumined by the brightest Inner Light, this is when Illusions will be broken, the shell will crack wide open, and the one will be with the One. Time and Space will be transcended, for there is only Now. There is only One Life, One Light, One Love...and this is Now.

There is only Now...This "now" is a special turning, for tonight is not only one of the Four Sacred Turnings, it is also a New Moon. It is at such a time, when the Sacred Portal is pushed open a little wider, it is at such a time that those who have made themselves ready will pass into an even more encompassing consciousness, for they have made themselves ready, they have become even more Self-Masterful. They have earned this, they have served and sacrificed, and they have Loved...they have become more human...and they abide in this more sublime and serene light.

But there is even more here than this, for at this Fourth Portal, and at this New Moon, here and Now there is another turning which will quicken and elicit even more for one and all. I wrote about this in my General Forecast for 2014:

Uranus Direct (December 21 until July 25-26, 2015)

The Avatar of Individuality and Freedom is leading you outwards again, and it is a most special turning indeed. For this is also the day of the Solstice, which means this winter begins with a New Moon. This is recognized as a most sacred event in the Spiritual Calendar. Whenever a New Moon is also the beginning of one of the Four Sacred Seasons, special ceremonies and initiations are observed and honored at such at time. This is a time of Quickening, and for those who have prepared and are ready to accept the next sacrifice, their Joyful Service is honored and rewarded now as they move that much closer to the Light of Understanding. All should bow their heads and lift their loving hearts to those who live for and in the One, and find their own peace in the words of the Great Invocation which will be said at many a ceremony today:

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.

 

This is the Pathway of Perfection,

This is the Way Home.

This is your Sacred Moment,

As are all steps along the Way.

Let each day be your Portal,

Your every step lived in Light and Love.

Honor your Past, live your Present, become your Future,

For All is here, and All is Love, and

All is Now.

Uranus Square Pluto (December 15, 2014)

Yet another exact alignment of this, the most defining aspect for the 2010’s. Just as in their previous contacts in the 1930’s and the 1960’s, you and your world are feeling the persuasive powers of these Agents of Actualization and their “Winds of the Spirit”, which are blowing through you and through all your many forms of self-realization. Within yourself, out through the circles of your family and friends, and then into your wider communities, these energies are also modulating and transforming local, national and trans-national institutions….Yes, you and your world are moving through a time of great change indeed.

As I have outlined for several years now, this fundamental restructuring of your world should be understood within a context that harkens back to the previous periods of Pluto in Capricorn in the 1700’s and the 1500’s. There is a rhythm to your self-becoming, so that every 240 years or so the paradigm or order of the Spiritual-Cultural-Social-Political space will break down so that it can be re-made. You are in such a time, the time when the world you know “falls apart”. It must, for to all things there is a season, and know that these Rebirths of Reality have come upon you time and time again. For you are here to grow, you are the Spirit moving through these forms. Your one Imperative is that you must grow, you must change, and your world must change too, (for what has been made by you, what were your energy-forms that got you “to here”, cannot and will not take you to the promised land, “to there”).

This is when your forms of Self-Realization “fail you”. You look at all these institutions that you have formed as your world. These are the vehicles of your-self-made manifest by and through which you seek to meet your needs (and the needs of one and all). You look at these institutions whether in the realms of Religion or Government or Business or Education…you look to them all and what you see is a mirror that is cracked and broken. What you see is the lack of Spirit, for the Light of Understanding and Truth has gone out of these Energy-Forms that you and your ancestors made…and only you, only you can bring this light back. Yes, this old world must pass away as it has done before. Your ancestors faced this same challenge too (for you were them you know), and this Old World will give way to the New World that is rising from within…and truly this Gift of the Spirit is what is rising from within you once again.

Change does not come from “above”, it arises from within each human heart and soul, it is formed by that longing for a better way, by the faith that you can re-make yourself and your world into a more just, beautiful and peace-filled place. So you will turn once again, you will turn with love and wash away this world of shadows and ash.

You might think, “well, let’s just fix the Government, lets redo Education”…But the problem, (though it is also out there, yes it is), the real problem is in each and every one of us. The Winds of the Spirit blow to stoke the flame of Love and Truth within each and every human heart, for only then can you and your companions go out and “be this change”. By being a New Human you will also change these institutions which are made by, for and through you. These Energy-Forms of your world, these Institutions, are not “things in themselves”. All of these Hierarchies of your World, all these Institutions that are now failing you are “made” by and of you and me. They are not “the problem”, though you will certainly see it there…the real problem is within each of us…and we must change, we must choose to be better, to love and to sacrifice for now and for the future, we must choose to listen to the Winds of the Spirit with our hearts, our minds, and our souls.

Given the logic and order of the system you are presently formed into, everyone is acting “reasonably”, but also with great egotism and selfishness. For example, the leaders in the Political world are doing exactly what they need to do to remain in power. They spend most of their efforts on raising funds so that they can maintain or stay in power, for that is what it takes. It makes perfect sense, but meanwhile the problems of the society remain unaddressed and unanswered, for those with the money that fund these office holders have true control, they wield the real levers of power. You do not live in a Democracy…you live in a Plutocracy. All Value, all the qualities of life, of Beauty, of Aesthetics, of Human Kindliness, all of it has become reduced to the one Value of Quantity…all are subsumed and held under the sway of Money, Wealth, Power…and that Power is held by the few at the expense of the many.

If you have not read my previous postings regarding this alignment (or even if you have you might want to read them again), here is a link to that collection:

Uranus-Pluto Alignments

I also mentioned this series of alignments in my General Forecast for 2014, and here is that again:

Uranus Square Pluto (December 15) *and March 15, 2015

The next to last Uranus/Pluto Square is here, and though you have been through this many times by now, this pivotal alignment is by no means "over" as Uranus and Pluto will stay in resonance with one another for several years to come. Though we tend to look for an instance or moment when something is most "exact", life and the dance of the planets is not about discrete points or moments. It is about Energies, Lights, Vibrations, Sounds that sparkle and dance and ring out like ripples in a pond, or chimes sounding in the air, and should be seen as marking phases and periods in time and space, and not as isolated or separate, no not at all. All of these Starry Companions weave and dance and flow together with one another, they intertwine to form a greater Song, and so we too should give ourselves some time and space to experience and understand what is being offered to us by these Wonders sweeping around our world. It takes time to understand....give yourself time, to dream, to hope, to believe...and then do.

It is important to remember that these energies which form you and this Universe are a complex inter-weaving of Light-Forms, which will rise and fall, flow in and out, and go through and around you too. They are made of you as you are made of them, and that you should not see any particular aspect/alignment as a discrete event. You should rather see (and feel) them more as waves of Energy-Forms that sweep through and around you, calling to you, reminding you, of who and what you are…You are Spirit, you are the Creators. You made this world, and you will make this New World too.

You have been here before…

For you were at the beginning,

When the World was young,

And you were at the Turning,

So, so long ago.

All that is asked,

Is that you remember,

To be what you are.

You are the Dreamer,

You are the Maker,

You are the Keeper,

Finding your way…

Home.

Jupiter Turns Retrograde (December 8, 2014)

Your Avatar of Truth is turning around…

For as far as you will seek to find the meanings of life,

In your Worlds, Forms and countless Lives “out there”,

You must and will equally seek and find these same Truths within.

For As Above, So Below.

The Truth is,

All these Realms and Hierarchies,

That form this wondrous Journey of Light,

Which is your Journey of Life-Consciousness-Spirit,

All of this is in Truth the Life and Love of,

The One.

From the Infinitesimal to the Infinite, from the Innermost to the Outermost,

All these realms are in fact the countless reflections, mirroring one another,

Of the Luminous Beautiful Facets of the One Jewel that is Spirit.

So it does not matter which way you go,

Whether you start inwards or outwards,

Or follow the Noble Middle Path,

In the end you will find your Destiny.

You will walk the Way of Truth…

Singing your Songs of Light and Love,

As you make your way...

Home.

I mentioned this “turning” in my General Forecast for 2014:

Jupiter Retrograde (December 8 until April 8, 2015)

The Lord of Truth is taking you within for the next four months, and it is time once again to consider the nature of your principles and beliefs. This time Jupiter is moving back through the sign of Leo, so you will have an opportunity to go within to the heart-source and well-spring of your Truth. You wish to extend your space of self-realization, to be expand your Creativity and your Leadership, but first you must go within and expand your understanding of the source of your Creative Spirit, you need to listen and learn from your Muse.

This turning of Jupiter for the next four months does not mean you should focus only upon your Inner and not your Outer forms of growth…for that is certainly not “the way” (nor possible). But this shift does provide you with an opportunity to remember and resolve to listen to the Winds of the Spirit and to better align yourself with your Self.

Set aside some more time, in every day, and from day to day and week to week, set aside a little more time to walk in Silence, to Look Within and Consider your Pathways of Growth, and so seek and search for your truth in this inner sanctum of your life. These attunements will then better inform and guide your steps upon the outer courses of your life.

You are there to Grow…

You are here to Understand.

So you will move in,

And you will move out.

You are a Weaver,

Of Light and Love,

Building your Luminous Pathway,

To the Stars.

Full Moon in Gemini (December 6, 2014)

Luna has reached her next station…

She has swung around to her outermost reaches,

There she stands in Fullness, in all her Glory.

Brightly Beaming, she shines for you,

She is your Magic Mirror of Meaning.

Refracting, Informing and Modulating,

The Ancient Wisdom of the Sagittarian Solar Ray,

She is your Interlocutor of Truths,

She is your Mother,

Your Mediatrix of Meanings.

Each Full Moon compliments and so balances the Sun’s prevailing energies. While the Sun soars through Sagittarius the search for and securing of Truth and Ultimate Meaning, for arriving at the last word in Spirituality, Religion, Science or Law becomes the fervent longing for one and for all. Yet, as is often the case, matters may be taken too, too far. The Truth becomes twisted by the fear-based demands for Certainty, so that Faith becomes Dogma, Spiritual Living becomes crystallized into formalized practices lacking the true essence of Spirit (Love), and in the name of that Truth or Science or Law the falling into darkness and pain returns once more.

The Full Moon in Gemini offers this necessary and spiritually uplifting reminder, that you and your universe are…complicated. You are multi-faceted and many-layered. You, just like all life forms, and really all of creation, from the most infinitesimal of atoms on up through those Galactic Beings who Ensoul their wondrous spiraling realms, (and beyond even these forms), that all of Creation is endowed with Life and Consciousness…for all of these are of the One, the One Spirit binding you and all these countless ones as the body of the One. You are hierarchical as is all of Creation, and so your constitution ranges from the physical to astral to emotional to mental into spiritual energy-forms…You are a “host”, as are all of these lives around you…and all those lives that abide within you too.

For this very reason, there cannot be “one-way” of seeing, or believing, or understanding…for the Greater Awareness is formed by the Truth that is at the heart or essence of Spirit, and that is that you and all of Creation are here for one thing…you are here to Grow. You are here to become and move from a lesser constitution to a greater, from a smaller awareness to the Greater Awareness…and there will be no end to this, not ever.

So the Full Moon in Gemini shines upon you tonight to remind you of this essential compliment to the Desire for “the Answer”…that you, and your life, and your journey are complex, many-layered and multi-faceted…that you are a Sparkling Dewdrop of Consciousness wheeling through Worlds and Bodies and Lives…and you must remember to keep questioning…Everything. You are to look at things “this way”…and then “that way”…and then another way too! You can only truly “know” something by in some way “becoming” that someday…and you have done this many, many times...and so you will live and live again in many worlds, and forms and lives...forever and ever.

For you are here to be Self-Masterful, to be a Conscious Co-Creator in this Creation…and so you must be and become it all. For as Above, so Below. You are the Microcosm of this amazing Macrocosm…and your journey is barely begun, and yet it is beyond reckoning how far back it stretches too.

The Gemini Full Moon reminds you, that as you approach your Greater Understanding, that you follow this Path of Truth with a Loving Openness and a Gracious Humility. For what counts as the greatest advances in Science or Truth today, will be dismissed with derision if not with horror by those who will follow you…as you too in your time look back upon the beliefs of those who came before you, (maybe just 20 or 30 or 100 years ago), and wonder how they could have believed and acted by their so-called “truths” then…but of course, they too felt this way about those who came before them too.

As you look at your Beautiful Gemini Full Moon tonight…

Bow your head and open your heart with Humility,

For you do not know nor can you understand, not yet.

Look up at the Spaces of Space that surround you…

Look into the Infinity, and Wonder.

What or Who is out there…

It is Spirit…It is The One…

You.

Mars Enters Aquarius (December 4, 2014)

Your Avatar of Desire and Action,

Is pushing beyond the rims of reality.

For Forty Days you have climbed a little higher…

You have pulled and pushed yourself along,

Striving to ascend that winding-weaving way.

As by Leaps and by Falls, and leaping yet again,

You have made your circuitous journey.

You have forged another well-earned space,

Upon your Path of Purposefulness.

For this is how it is done,

This is your Self-Unfoldment,

This is your Destiny.

 

You have sought by Capricorn to do your part…

To Bring your Vision in Truth together,

To Fold your Ideal into Forms,

And by Praxis make yourself a Greater Reality.

You came to this world, your Earth,

To bring Spirit, Thought and Feeling into Matter,

To be a Creator, to be what you are...and yet so much more.

Your Desire formed your Actions,

Now met in your Self-Substantiation,

Your ever-growing Responsibilities,

To be a Maker/Creator,

To be a One.

You look out now from this Higher Place, to the far, far away...And you realize, that your journey is far from done. For you are here to unfold and become, you are in fact the Self-that-is-Becoming. And this means that your Journey of Life-Consciousness-Spirit is for one thing truly, and that is quite simply, purely and wonderfully this…you are here To Grow.

But you Journey with many other ones, within a wondrous shining host. You travel with one another, with your Brothers and Sisters, for you will never be nor can you become alone, not ever. Your Aims and Intentions are modulated now as Mars moves on, through those Gleaming Ideals of your Brighter Tomorrows that is Aquarius…and you will find your Dream and your Fulfillment is to be made in, by and through one another, for how could it be otherwise…

Your Aims and Actions now will be focused upon the World that you wish to live in, in the shining dreams of what is yet to be. You will know that in fact that your dreams are made of one another, for what else is there. Your dreams are not made of “things”, of your possessions and the transient, passing objects of this or that…Your Dreams are made of one another, of your fulfillment and shared experiences by which you come to be and love one another…You are one another’s dreams, and you are made of one another too.

Your real Dream is this Living Reality of Individual Self-Fulfillment, and this is found and forged in your Dream-Making Space that you call “Freedom”. It is your freedom “to be” and “to become” which is only possible when your Aims and Intentions are to allow one another, to encourage one another to be more truly who they are by being in this Shared Space of Self-Fulfillment. For from the One has come the Many, and out of Many there is in the end but One.

Freedom is not the “freedom from” something, it is your freedom (and their freedom) “to be and become”…and this quite simply is the Shared Sacred Space you create with and for one another. And this, this is what Mars is leading you into now. For without Freedom for all, there can be no Freedom for any. That is why your sacred duty is and will always be to help to extend the Spaces of Freedom for one and for all.

This is your Sacred Path of the Self that is-Becoming; This is your Creation Song.

Your Avatar of Action is calling to you now.

You are here to help one another…

You are here to free one another…

You are here to become who you are…

You are here to be what you are,

A brightly shining one,

Singing Creation's Song.
