The New Moon of Transformation

Our New Moon on Monday is in Scorpio which is a great energy for change – the deep transforming kind, rising like an eagle, taking to the sky for a larger view and soaring far above the upheaval that may lay below. Its about taking the high road. Transforming from the lower self ego to the higher self, our divine self. Its about uncovering the hidden meanings of life and the infinite power we have at our fingertips as spiritual beings. Its about discarding anything that would hold us back from discovering our heartfelt passions and purpose.

This New Moon gets a little added energy from Uranus in Pisces. Uranus also brings the energy of change, often creative and inventive, usually sudden and “out of the blue”. I’d say just be ready for anything. Pisces energy can add imagination and intuition to the mix and Pisces waters can help dissolve those limiting things we discarded.

Neptune in Aquarius also aspects the New Moon. Neptune rules Pisces and Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. These energies have already been brought into the equation but this aspect is a square, meaning internal conflict and friction (hey, without friction the car wouldn’t stay on the road, right?). And with all this water we could easily hydro-plane without a little friction for grounding.

There is strong healing energy available to us in this New Moon of transformation.

On Monday evening, drop down out of your head and into your heart when you make your list of New Moon desires. What do you want to create, build, experience, learn, share, contribute, receive? Put your desires out there with passion and then release them to soar on the currents of infinite possibilities.

Change

Saturn’s on my Saturn, Pluto’s on my Chiron.

My heart hears the siren, of change, change, change.

Parts of me must heal, So I can move beyond.

But my heart fears the song, of change, change, change.

Who am I really? What’s the key?

My heart sings ‘just be’ the change, change, change.

My birth chart shows a cardinal square which involves Uranus (unexpected happenings) opposing Chiron (achilles heel), both squaring Mars (action) and its opposing Saturn (structure, responsibility). This cardinal square, when activated, throws me into a whole new chapter of my life, actually more like a whole new book. I feel like I’ve lived several very different lifetimes within this one.

Anyway, it was recently activated when the current transitting Saturn/Pluto square collided with two of my strategic spots, Saturn and Chiron.

On top of this, our full moon (fullness, fruition, completion) in Taurus (self-worth, value, money) shined brightly last Monday, Nov 2nd and ….. BAM!

Catapulted out of the old and into the new… Still a little blurry-eyed about this new adventure, not knowing what’s around the next bend, but I am willing to embrace it and listen carefully to the guidance of Infinite Love and Wisdom as I go.

Jupiter Moves for Bigger and Better

Jupiter, at 17 degrees Aquarius, goes direct in a few days, October 12th. Have you started feeling some optimism, hope, and sensing a light up ahead? Jupiter represents a feel good energy, cheerful and lighthearted, all about bigger, better, expansion, expectation and success.  In fact, if not held in check just a bit you could prematurely splurge…. Hate when that happens.

This is a good time to pursue your ideals of how life could be, expand on those mind bending ideas and dreams, land that new job or expand on the old one, know your truth and speak it, travel, explore new places and new consciousness raising ideas.

At this same time Venus and Pluto trine each other. Venus represents love, beauty and pleasure and a trine is a beneficial aspect…. and anytime powerful Pluto is involved there is intensity, passion and usually drama, maybe even compulsions and obsessions. Even if you adhere to “there is no such thing as too much of a good thing”… when Pluto enters the picture fasten your seat belts.

Fired Up

We have a Full Moon in (11*) Aries this weekend.

Have you noticed how fired up people are? Be careful on the road.  Aries energy is fiery, assertive, active, take charge. It can even be impulsive, explosive, aggressive.  Repressed anger can make its way to the surface and easily ignite a situation. This fire energy can be used destructively …or wisely and constructively. Be aware and handle with care!

For people feeling stuck, anger can energize them, bringing them out of a funk, getting their motor running when they need something to snap them out of depression or stagnation.

I’ve noticed many people this week feeling the need to make personal changes. If you’ve been sitting still or holding your position even though you sense the need to make personal changes, you may find this Full Moon propelling you forward, giving you the impetus and/or courage to change it, make it, start it, clean it, finish it, say it, move it, hug it, love it, sponsor it, support it, celebrate it….. “just do it”.

In the midst of all this action…. keep in mind, we have a Saturn/Uranus opposition in the heavens.  Adding to this active Aries Full Moon, “expect the unexpected” (Uranus) applied to physical structures; bodies, vehicles, buildings (Saturn)….. leads me to say Stay Alert! Pay attention. Be aware of your surroundings. Drive carefully, Watch what you’re doing.

Once I literally ran into a wall rendering me unconscious during a time with this mixture of energies present. My emotional state was aggravation and frustration about a family situation, and I was reading a piece of paper while walking up to a cafe from the parking lot, didn’t see the curb, jammed my foot into it, falling forward I tried to get my feet back under me as quick as possible which threw me forward into head butting a concrete wall, which immediately knocked me unconscious and flipped me backwards flat on my back, right in front of all those people trying to have a nice lunch at the cafe. I came to, circled by those frightened, concerned strangers asking me questions that I couldn’t quite understand much less answer.  If you were there, yep, that was me and I want to say thanks for your compassion and help. I would have expressed my appreciation at the time had I been able to find my thoughts and tongue.

So often I learn things the hard way. hmmmm

On the up side, used with conscious awareness:

1. Applying the energy of taking initiative (represented by Aries) 2. to inventive, unique, unexpected ideas/concepts/happenings (Uranus) 3. to the construct of our bodies, buildings, vehicles, homes, planet, etc. (Saturn) ….. 4. holds unlimited potential for making needed changes, discovering creative and healthier ways to live and solving challenges.

I can get safely fired up for that!

Collapsing the Wave

Enlightening scientific discoveries form the basis of quantum level healing work, including my own practice.

Quantum physicists have demonstrated that what we previously thought was solid matter, is, at its core, fundamentally fields of information, intelligence and energy. Simplistically, we’ve all seen how a different perspective can alter an experience for someone. When consciousness is applied or observation is made, things fall into place at that point. Scientists call this “collapsing the wave”, meaning the act of perceiving, observing something causes the energy waves to fall into form at that point.  In other words, stop in their tracks, fall into position, take form.

Our level of belief, awareness, intent, imagination, consciousness is powerful. We create with it. We get well with it. We make art pieces, sing and plant food with it. And if coming from a place of higher awareness, wisdom, integrity, and compassion we can shift and direct energy with inspiring results.

We are more capable than we realize. We live at the point of infinite possibilities. And we have choices. Where do you want to “collapse the wave”?

In the Spotlight

Our Full Moon in Sagittarius and Sun in Gemini make beneficial aspects to, and shine full spotlight on Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius. A higher level of awareness is called for, expanded consciousness, heart centered integrity, and higher vision.

Dan Furst says they bring us the opportunity “to claim our true power and abundance (Jupiter) and link with the universal heart that unites us all (Neptune) in a spirit of individual, communal and planetary healing (Chiron).” www.hermes3.net/june109.htm

Sagittarius and Gemini being mutable signs, accommodate change. And new innovative ways of living are the clarion call.

The time is now.

Ground Yourself

I had a very mysterious thing happen yesterday at work. Money just disappeared out of my hand, just seemed to vanish into thin air. One minute I was holding it, the next it was gone. Bizarre. On top of that, I got a parking ticket.

Neptune is retrograde and I have several planets in Pisces. Eeek. Dissolving is one of the energies of Neptune. Did my money dissolve into thin Aquarius air? Regardless, my message especially to you air and water people… Stay grounded.

Tips: Get outside, work in the garden, sit on the grass, dig your toes into the dirt or sand, bask in the sunlight, moonlight, or starlight. And you can imagine a cord that connects you to the center of the Earth where it is anchored into the Earth’s core. Don’t snicker, it works! Try it, you’ll like it.

To further complicate things, Uranus (expect the unexpected), which rules Aquarius (air sign) is just sitting there twiddling its thumbs at 26 degrees Pisces (water) while it exactly aspects my moon in my second house (money and personal resources – hmmm).

Pressing the point for me… and many of you…Keep yourself grounded.

Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron…oh my

Reminds me of Dorothy when she was off to see the Wizard.

Well, having Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron sharing the same degree of Aquarius make for some wizardly-ness of their own. Its riding on the wind, actually on the electrical currents in the air (Aquarius).

Neptune, in its highest sense, is our connector to the ideal; Oneness, wholeness, our completeness, our higher true self. Neptune and Pisces symbolize the gathering and integrating of all the zodiac signs, all the puzzle pieces into the whole, our oneness with Source.

Jupiter is the Truth connection; higher consciousness, integrity, enlightenment, the Truth of our being the essence of the Divine.  When the ugliness of greed and cruelty parades as truth, its important that it be uncovered and revealed. This energy of Truth is working, like yeast in bread dough, to raise the level of consciousness.

Chiron shows us the wound and pushes us toward healing. Chiron represents the Wounded Healer, the part of us that doesn’t run from the issue but rather looks for the gift, the strength, the transcendance of the challenge. When the *%&# hits the fan, Chiron would have us use it as fertilizer for growth…..so to speak.

Anyway….. With these three biggies together in Aquarius, you’ve probably noticed some wizardly things. Divine grace is active and easily touched. Can you feel it in the air? Have some mystical things happened? Has an innovative idea come to you out of the blue? Did you manifest rent money when there seemed no way?

Mercury Direct in Taurus

Mercury makes its station to turn direct today, May 30, 2009.

This means it stops appearing to move backward in the sky and appears to pause to change to a forward movement once again. Of course all of this is an optical illusion as seen from Earth because we are also in motion. The sensation of the backward or forward motion is enough.

Now it will be easier to let “reflecting” take a back seat.  It will be easier to get back into our heads; thinking, learning, writing, communicating, sending emails to the right person, driving, making deals, making decisions and all at a quicker pace.  (chop, chop)

So recess is over boys and girls, let’s put on those “thinking caps”.
