Sun Enters Scorpio (October 22-23, 2017)

The Gift of Rebirth, The Way of Union

This is the space you encounter Ultimate Truth.

This is when you feel the highest Joy,

And when you fall into depths of Pain,

This is your time for Love; this is your time for Loss.

This is the Space-Time to face your Shadow…

And, this is your crossing point into the Light.

This is the Realm that is Scorpio.

Wherever Scorpio is found in your chart, and whenever there are planets moving through this Sign, you will find that it is here that you face the Fundamental Challenge of your Journey:

You are an Immortal; but you move through mortal forms.

Your innermost is a spark of the Divine; always and forever your Divinity is an essential and unique instance of the Indivisible One, and to all lesser forms it is what is simply known as the ineffable “That”. But to make possible your journey through Space-Time, you create/unfold from within yourself a hierarchy of “bodies” or Energy-Forms that permit your existence upon each plane of manifestation. From the most numinous and transcendent to the most material of planes (like here on Earth), all your vehicles are the mortal bodies held as one by your Higher Self.

You are born into a form; you die to that form; but you enter another. Spirit is Life; Spirit-Life is Eternal. But the Worlds, Forms and Lives you live are only for a time. You form attachments to your form; you form attachments to one another. You find the Joy of being together; and so, you must experience the pain of separation too. This is your journey bounded by the inseparable:

Love and Loss; Joy and Pain.

You are on a journey of Self-Becoming, of moving from lesser forms to the greater, of moving out so that you may come back again, now knowing, from moving through all these Worlds, Forms and Lives that you are a spark of the Divine making your way to become a Fully Conscious Co-Creator of Creation.

One day, you will break the bonds of fear. You will have an unbreakable faith because you Know: I am Immortal, I am the Light and the darkness and fear were just the phantoms of my past, when I was not the master of entering and leaving these forms...but now I know, now "I am That, I am."

And so, you will equally face the mystery of Union with one another, finally free of the fear of loss too. For countless Worlds, Forms and Lives, your Joy of Love for one another was bound up with Pain and Loss, it was (and will be) unbearable. Yet, there will come a time when you will stand in the Light that will not diminish, and you will know that we are inseparable to one another, all mixed-up together, we are made of and by one another for ever and ever, and we will meet again and again until we break the karmic cycle of unconscious birth and re-birth with our awakening. And we will break the bonds of fear and step into the undying light by our very forging of unions in life after life.

Yes! It is precisely in these loving unions that you see the Truth; you understand because you have direct knowledge of your Immortality and your inseparable oneness with one another. You go out to meet one another, to live and laugh and love this beauty, this beloved who is there before you…and wonder of wonders, it is by this very going out to them, that by sacrificing the lesser within you in order to join with them, (and they likewise do this to join with you), it is in this Union (and Re-Union again and again), with the other that you come another step closer to your true Self too.

You move out of yourself to create the Space of We.

You join together by surrendering the lesser and honoring the Greater within and between you.

And, in the end, you smile and understand.

You have met your own true Self through one another…

You are for one another the Way and the Light…

You are the Light; We are the Light.

Shine on.

Jupiter Enters Scorpio – The Way of Truth (October 10th, 2017 - November 8th, 2018)

Jupiter Enters Scorpio – The Way of Truth

Jupiter is the Avatar of your Truth. In your birth chart, it provides an indicator as to the way in which you will work towards what is known as the “greater understanding”; it illuminates the path of Truth you are to follow in any life.

By ruling what is true for you, what gives meaning and meaningfulness to your life, Jupiter also indicates how you will relate to the larger world around you. By holding and shaping your motivations or your intentional nature, Jupiter helps you to find and follow your path of Self-Fulfillment.

Jupiter will move through the 12 signs of the Zodiac in roughly 12 years. Though your own placement of Jupiter in a sign indicates how your will find your way in general, it is also true that you need to integrate your own way of truth and being with the other 11 ways too. You are here to learn to master all these energies so that you may become fully human.

Every year, if you open your understanding to a more comprehensive and inclusive approach, you can develop a more integral, nuanced and spiritually purposeful way of being. By modulating your own way with that of the current placement of Jupiter, you lift your own understanding into the Greater Understanding that is your destiny.

But there is perhaps no greater lesson or gift than the passage of Jupiter, (or any planetary body), through the sign of Scorpio. Because of all the mysteries and truths you will encounter in this life, or in any life, it is this one that stands at the center of them all.

It is here that you meet “The Great Illusion” that is formed by you being an “I”, a separate self-consciousness of being, so that your very nature clearly seems to create an unbridgeable divide between you and every other being.

For you have forgotten your truth: Long, long ago, you left from the One Spirit as a monad of consciousness, to become another sparkling dewdrop among countless others who in their peregrinations through Space-Time form the Body of the One. Yet this seeming severance or separation from the One brings about never-ending pain and confusion, and it forms the soulful aching, the eternal longing for your return to the enveloping Peace and Love that is the One.

You seek to become united again and so become whole once more. You seek to shatter your aloneness, and by reaching out to your fellow sparks of the Divine you hope to feel this joy again, to be brought into the grace of peace, love and understanding that is of the One.

But what you will find, in life after life, is that this experience of reaching out to one another, of forming Unions of Sacred Space you share with one another, and of necessity making sacrifices for and to one another, that it is precisely here where you learn that by this giving up the lesser in yourself you discover the greatness that is always and forever in them and in you too.

The mystery that is Union, the sublime mystery and gift of Scorpio, reveals this Kernel of Ancient Wisdom and Truth to you: That as you surrender the lesser parts of you to one another, as you draw closer to them and them to you, you are brought into the presence of your own truer Self. You reach beyond your mortal frame and touch the Divine within and around you.

You come closer to the essence of you as you feel your way to the understanding that the One that you forever seek was (and will always be) there, right there as the very center of you...and of everyone else too. The Great Illusion is your feeling of separation; The Great Truth is that you are never alone, you are not and cannot be separated from the One or from one another, for what you are and what sustains you through world after world, and in life after life, is the Love of the One that is you, and this equally forms the Ocean of Creation in which you and all the sparks of the Divine abide.

As much as Jupiter in Libra brought you into the Space of the Encounter with one another, and that Truth informed the Third Space that is Relationship, it is here in Scorpio that you lift the Veil of Isis and you must bow your head to the Gift of the Spirit.

You do this for one another as you join in communion with each other, for you have broken the bonds of the greatest illusion; now you know, now you feel the truth that you are That. You know you are here in this mortal shell that brings you from such awful pain into the most unimaginable joy; you know that you are an Immortal dancing through worlds and lives as you draw ever closer to the one before you, and the one within you and to the One that is All.

You say the words to yourself:

I am That, I am.

You look upon one another and say:

Namaste.

You are one with one another, and with the One.

Today’s show will consider the significance of Jupiter moving from sign to sign, with a particular focus upon the shift from Libra to Scorpio which occurred on October 10^th, 2017.

Jupiter is the Avatar of your Truth. In your birth chart, it provides an indicator as to the way in which you will work towards the “greater understanding”; it illuminates the path of Truth you are to follow in any life.

By ruling what is true for you, what gives meaning and meaningfulness to your life, Jupiter also indicates how you will relate to the larger world around you. By holding and shaping your motivations or your intentional nature, Jupiter helps you to find and follow your path of Self-Fulfillment.

Jupiter will move through the 12 signs of the Zodiac in roughly 12 years. Though your own placement of Jupiter in a sign indicates how your will find your way in general, it is also true that you need to integrate your own way of truth and being with the other 11 ways too.

Every year, if you open your understanding to a more comprehensive and inclusive approach, you can develop a more integral, nuanced and spiritually purposeful way of being. By modulating your own way with that of the current placement of Jupiter, you lift your own understanding into the Greater Understanding that is your destiny.

As before, I will answer your questions during the show, whether on this subject or some other matter, including personal questions about your astrological chart. If you do wish to ask a personal question, please be ready to provide at least your birth date and birth place, and time of your birth if you have that too.
