Sun Enters Gemini (May 20, 2018)

The Awakening

Three moments mark the first steps in your journey:

I am…I am, That… I am That I am.

This is one of the most profound gifts (and tests) of being and becoming human, the gift of Self-Awareness.

This story is found in many teachings, cultures and ages. That long ago there walked among us “the gods”, who brought to us who were not yet human, (we were “mindless”, we were the innocent but mindless humans of that time), and they offered this most precious gift of self-awareness. It was their great honor and duty to do this. Because in a previous cosmic cycle, these Angels of the Light had similarly been awakened by those who came before them. This self-luminous torch, this spiritual fire of understanding, has been passed down like this through the ages. It is in truth the Ribbon of Light and Love that forms the warp and weave of our Universe. All of Creation is Spirit-Life; for everything is Living and Conscious, and the whole Universe is on this Spiritual Journey of Awakening.

These Devas or Shining Ones were duty bound to pass on this light to us, (and to become partly one with us too). Their names are found in many cultures, in the tales of Prometheus, Lucifer, Loki and Quetzalcoatl and many, many others. In the most ancient of recordings, found in what is known as the Ancient Teachings there is the story of the Kumaras, beings of a much more advanced state than we, who came at the appointed time, when the Humanity of that period was ready for the next step forward in Consciousness, and they walked among us, joined with us and we took the next great step in our journey…and we became self-aware.

This step was taken long ago, during an “Age of Gemini”, yet it is also a series of steps that you will take in each of your lives, and through many years in any one of your lives. For the journey of Self-Awareness is wondrous and hard, it requires patience and quickness, adaptability and persistence, it is the mind seeking to know, to know itself and all that is around it too. This is your journey to the gods, it is your journey to lift yourself out of the shadows, out of the darkness, ignorance and fear...it is your journey into The Light.

Each and every day, you are here to lift up your awareness of yourself and your world. You are here to learn to be a better human. You are here quite simply to discern and so understand what is the lesser and what is greater; you are here to learn from your experience in this realm governed by “cause and effect”. You are on a never-ending inspirational journey in which you lift yourself up by trial and error as you leave behind your ignorance and come to know and to live what is good, and true and beautiful.

You are always guided by your higher self; it is the light of love shining within you. This greater one within you lovingly inspires you onward and upward in life after life. Your journey, this “Walk in Beauty”, is forged in the multiple experiences you share with those with whom you travel, as you and your fellow seekers help one another to see and to know what is the “Good”. But truly, your path to awakening is founded in your Love for one another, for this is “The Way”. This is the one true path that will bring you and all of humanity to our destiny.

For this is the way of truth, that you will most wonderfully and necessarily help one another; you will be the very means to awaken one another. In fact, you could not do it at all were it not for your experiences with one another. The Truth behind your Awakening is this, you are to be for one another the quickening of your inner Light. You will illuminate one another’s minds as you exchange your thoughts, sentiments and feelings for one another. It is by the life you live in the day to day, it is by all these comparisons, contrasts, debates and discussions with one another, it is by telling your stories to one another, that you eliminate the shadows and step more firmly into the Light. You are for one another the living means by which you let go of misunderstanding and fear and more assuredly walk the path of Truth and Love.

You cannot be human without the love and affections you have shared with one another. In truth, your very thoughts are not “yours”; you cannot truly own any thought. All these notions, intimations, ideas and truths that have been passed between you and many others in your life, between parent and child, between brother and sister, with friends and loved ones too, all of these are part of you and part of them. You are all mixed up with one another; your mind is made by all these with whom you have been with now and long before too.

Yes, you must also understand that you are indebted to the countless lives of those who have come before you too; the spiritual heritage of Humanity, of Philosophy, Religion and Science is their gift to you. You walk a very ancient path of Light and Love, and you will never walk it alone.

Whenever you fall into error, whenever you divide yourself from yourself, whenever you become isolated or separated from one or many others, it is then that you will stumble and fall. But your path of awakening is clear. All you need do is to reach out once more to those who are there for you; and it is equally true, that you need to be there for them too.

This is how you grow, this is how you learn to move away from ignorance pain, darkness and fear; you learn what is true so that you can create what is better.

Choose to stay united, to not pull back in fear but to reach out with love to one another.

It is by this that you move towards the light that is all around you; and you will discover that it is the same Light that is within you too.

You discover and choose to follow the truth that is within you; and you understand that this same truth is behind the whole of Creation too.

It is by this awakening that you stay upon the Path of Light.

And you will smile, and laugh, and turn to one another.

Because this is your Destiny.

You are here to live in understanding, beauty and love.

You are on the path of Awakening.

You are here; your destiny is your hands.

Be a light for one another,

Love one another.

Shine.

Astrological Musings – Uranus Enters Taurus & Sun Enters Gemini (Saturday May 19, 2018)

In my sixth show of 2018 we will look at what might be the most important event of the year, the beginning of the passage of Uranus through the Sign of Taurus which began on May 15^th, 2018 and will continue until 2026. The last three such passages of Uranus, (1935-1942, 1851-59 and 1768-75), are quite significant for US (and for World) history as they each were followed by our greatest conflicts, World War II, The Civil War, and The War of Independence. Why might this be so, and what does this mean for this current period and what may follow in 2026?

If time permits, I will also comment on the Sun moving into Gemini on Sunday May 20^th.

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.

If you wish to suggest a subject or topic for a future show, please email me as I would be happy to hear from you. My email is: [email protected]

Please join me on Saturday May 19th at 2 pm EDT as we look at the spiritual meaning of the Uranus in Taurus, and what this means for you.

Uranus Enters Taurus (May 15, 2018 — April 26, 2026)

Today Uranus moves into Taurus. This is what I wrote in my 2018 Forecast about this important shift of Uranus from Aries into Taurus:

Uranus in Taurus – Transformation of Value
Uranus in Taurus, (2018-2026) will bring startling transformations to the realm of Values. The previous times for Uranus in Taurus were 1935-1942, 1851-59 and 1768-75. Those periods were characterized by upheavals and rapid changes in Society and Culture and brought about new orderings of Economic and Political structures. These Uranian shocks and turnings break old identifications, leading to revolutionary breakthroughs in Ideas and Technology, in Society and Culture. Uranus leads us beyond our self-created Saturnian boundaries, and in Taurus it creates a new Fabric of Meaning. Uranus in Taurus will usher in a new Value Hierarchy, and a so new kind of Human too. The self-limiting attachments to outworn ways and values are broken, and a new way of being emerges.

One critical observation of Uranus’ three previous passages through Taurus should be apparent to those who study history. Each of these prior periods were followed in US history by our greatest conflicts, World War II, The Civil War, and The War of Independence.

The past is never a perfect predictor of the future, nothing ever remains the same in these very complex, interpenetrating cycles of the planets, and we should understand that no pattern can ever truly “repeat”. But there are most certainly revealed here resonances or rhymes. These Signs and Planets hold the forms and meanings that can reveal to us the heartbeat of spiritual growth in our self-transformational journey. These “Songs of Spirit” echo down through the corridors of history and they should give us pause now to consider what may lie ahead.

Perhaps it is in the very nature of Uranus, which is to break up the old orders of Value held by Taurus, which lead to these great conflicts between peoples and cultures, both within and between nations. The historical record would certainly seem to indicate that this is so for the USA. But does this mean that our future is fated; that we are merely witnessing now the beginning of the next great world-wide conflict?

I for one do not believe that history “repeats”. The human kingdom is on an ever-rising path of spiritual awakening. There is within all of us an abiding faith and hope that we will find “the way” to more perfectly align ourselves with our divine essence, and that we will remain true to our higher self who lovingly calls to us to remember from whence we came, and why we are here for one another.

We are on a Journey of Life-Consciousness-Spirit; we are here on Earth for one reason, we are here to learn to be fully human. We are to become ever more centered in our Spiritual Essence and Truth to live with a Freer Mind, Unconditional Love and a righteously Centered Will. It is by this self-made path that we will rise above our earlier errors that were founded in misunderstanding and fear. These dark echoes, flashing forward into our present circumstances, remind us that we have fallen before.

We need not repeat our past mistakes; we can take these gifts of the spirit, offered at this time by Uranus in Taurus, to break our identification with the misshapen husks of value and reveal the deeper truth of beauty, grace and love that shines through our world and in one another. We are luminous beings; let us shine for one another. Let us love one another.

It is our ever-unfolding realization that we are part of a greater story, the story of spirit, the journey of the Divine to become fully manifest in our world and in one another. We will heal the misunderstandings between one another and come to the truth that all our errors, all our pains and sufferings, have come from this greatest illusion, the illusion that we are separate from one another (and from this creation too). We, and all of Creation, are one in Spirit. We are here to be Creators and to live our lives in Love, Beauty and Truth.

For each of you, look to where you have the Sign of Taurus in your own chart, (and equally, if you have any planets there, that will make this an even more significant passage for you). It is in this realm of Taurus that you experience and reveal your deepest experience of Value and Beauty.

Understand that as Uranus moves through Taurus it will elicit from you the necessity that is at the heart of Spirit. If Spirit is Life; and Life is Spirit, then we are here quite simply to grow. You are here to become a fully awakened human and you must be open to Change. Let go of the lesser, more circumscribed reaches of your aesthetic, moral and spiritual values. It is in your essential nature to become more than what you were, to lift yourself and humanity closer to the Divine which is shining there within you.

A new humanity is coming; but it is upon one and all to lovingly make this so.

Let us shine together!
