Sun Trines Saturn (February 18, 2012)

The Sun pauses…he’s stand­ing still at the thresh­old of your dreams, gaz­ing out and mak­ing ready to set your course upon those soon to be sailed, watery seas of Pisces…he paus­es and receives one last part­ing gift from the realms of Air, a gift from his ring-round­ed broth­er, the Lord of Real­i­ty, Saturn.

You faced one of your four year­ly deci­sions in Jan­u­ary. You had to make a choice and so “lim­it” your­self, fix your­self into some­thing so that your poten­tial could take sub­stan­tial form. You had to choose one form of self-real­iza­tion, path or direc­tion over anoth­er. Now you see that your choice and efforts are being reward­ed; you feel ground­ed as you accept this con­se­quen­tial con­fir­ma­tion that your dream-poten­tial has become your reality-making.

If you have not already made your move to that greater real­i­ty, today you can bridge those worlds of thought-forms and formed-thoughts by lay­ing in a firmer foun­da­tion for your next peri­od of self-real­iza­tion. Today you are poised, attuned and rid­ing the razor’s edge of your cre­ative spir­it… today you are the Imag­i­neer of your Life.

Cel­e­brate your cre­ation, cel­e­brate your life…

This is your way; your dream­ing-way that made your today!

You are the becom­ing, you are the self-unfold­ing won­der of the universe!

So be it!

Mercury Sextile Jupiter (February 16, 2012)

Thurs­day is Jupiter’s day of the week, and he’s come bear­ing gifts for your mind. Mer­cury has been swim­ming through those Dream­ing Waters of Pisces for a few days now, and with so many cur­rents sweep­ing you to and fro, back and forth through those halls of your imag­i­na­tion, you might need a lit­tle help by now…You could use a “steady hand”, some kind of ground­ing in principles…and lo and behold along comes Jupiter to pro­vide exact­ly that!

Jupiter rules the Truths, Teach­ings and Belief sys­tems that cre­ate your under­stand­ing and point of view. With Mer­cury so mes­mer­ized by the lumi­nous, danc­ing light waves of inspi­ra­tion that flash in and around you now, it is more than use­ful to have some touch­stone or ref­er­ence point of unchang­ing val­ue from which to gaze upon and under­stand the won­ders before you. Jupiter in Tau­rus is exact­ly that, sta­ble, strong and steady…

Mer­cury is mov­ing through the dream­ing-time of Pisces, and those dreams are like the wait­ing seeds of your tomorrows…but cou­pled today with Jupiter in earthy Tau­rus you will see those seeds sprout­ing and those vision­ary wish­es com­ing true. What were once mere plans are turn­ing into real, sub­stan­tial realities…

Today, with Mer­cury joined to Jupiter, you can be thrilled by the joy of the “greater vision” and also under­stand how to bring that dream into being through the prac­ti­cal, sequen­tial steps of its self-realization.

Today…is a good day!

Venus Squares Pluto (February 15, 2012)

Well…after all those won­drous infu­sions of Saint Valen­tine’s spir­it there comes a “reck­on­ing” today. When the plan­et of Love (Venus) meets up with the plan­et of Will (Plu­to), it will all come down to this…Do you know how to hon­or your space, and do you hon­or the space of the oth­er? For know this: every space is sacred, the space you are in, the space they are in…And, all the spaces in between…All is “That”, All is Sacred.

Every one of the count­less points of the cos­mos, every point in space, (for Space is not a an empti­ness but a won­drous Full­ness, the Plero­ma), every mon­ad is at its core a con­scious­ness cen­ter that is at some stage of unfold­ing its poten­tial, (ele­men­tal, min­er­al, plant, ani­mal, human, god…and beyond)…every mon­ad is con­stant­ly becom­ing some­thing more, end­less­ly unfold­ing and express­ing its essen­tial nature in a man­ner appro­pri­ate to its present stage of self-becoming.

At your present stage of self-real­iza­tion, as a human mon­ad, you find and cen­ter your­self upon your val­ues which are formed at your core into your love of self (Venus); and then you must cir­cum­scribe and define your space of self by your will (Plu­to), cre­at­ing your Sacred Space, the sacred space of you. At the core of you, in the very heart of your eter­nal monadic con­scious­ness cen­ter, is a spark of the Divine, which forms your unbreak­able con­nec­tion with the entire­ty of Creation…for all are ones of the One.

And it is essen­tial­ly this spark of the Divine which attracts you one to anoth­er, for as you look into the eyes of the beloved it is that very Spir­it of Divin­i­ty that looks back upon you! (It is no won­der that you catch your breath, your heart races…for you are look­ing into “That”, you behold the mystery…it is the Light Divine who is smil­ing back upon you).

You want this…you are this…and so you will fall, fall in love again. But now, now the test is here too as you fall together…you must be care­ful, you must hon­or and respect the sacred­ness of space with­in which you and your beloved reside. The mys­tery is that you are one with one anoth­er in and through your sacred centers…but you are also sep­a­rate, unique and indi­vid­u­al­ized instances of the Divine…and you must remain true to your­self and to the oth­er by hon­or­ing your space and their space too.

Thus you express your Love (Venus) for your­self and for the oth­er by that very cir­cum­scrib­ing of your rela­tion­ship with each oth­er, which is estab­lished and main­tained, (your sep­a­rate spaces and that shared sacred space you have formed that is your rela­tion­ship), through the pow­er of your will (Plu­to).

Today, as Venus Squares Plu­to, you face a challenge…and the prob­lem, (as always) is your Fear…You fear that the beloved may not want to be with you, may not wish to stay by your side, that you are not loved. Or, per­haps it is you who does not feel as you had or believe you should towards the other…and so they begin to act on their fear for the loss of your love. The lack of worth, that lack of love…that Fear…pulls Plu­to to the dark­er side, away from Spir­i­tu­al cen­tered­ness, self-con­trol and respect for the other.

Instead, Plu­to’s pow­er is turned to an attempt to con­trol the oth­er, to vio­late the oth­er’s Sacred Space…it becomes the Spir­i­tu­al “crime” of Tres­pass­ing. Plu­to pow­er is turned so that it becomes not the cre­ator of space for your love, not the pre­serv­er and pro­tec­tor of love, but the very opposite…Pluto becomes all about Fear and Control…and so you fall apart, you separate…and all is lost, again…

So you must learn, to accept and understand…and that is why you are here…you must learn to love your­self and to love the oth­er too…and the only way, the only true expe­ri­ence of that is freely, unconditionally…Spiritually…for that is who you are. That means you can­not “make” some­one love you, you can­not bend them to your will and call that “love”…for that is the oppo­site of love and is the denial of your true self and your spir­i­tu­al core.

Today you must remem­ber that you are a spark of the Divine and ever before you is anoth­er who is Divine too.

Love them as you love your­self, with all your heart and with all your soul; and with your beloved, your two souls now as One, cre­ate your sacred space of love together…

You are filled with the Love that is ever­last­ing, ablaze with the Light that will nev­er fail…

You are That!

Be That!

Love!

Mercury Conjunct Neptune (February 14, 2012)

Mer­cury has just entered those lumi­nes­cent path­ways of Pisces and who is there to embrace him but the very ruler of Pisces, the lord of Dreams and Imag­i­na­tion her­self, Nep­tune. Your Mind meets the Mag­i­cal as you move beyond appear­ances into the Mystery…and there are won­ders upon won­ders to behold.

Today is a day for inspi­ra­tion; it is a day for Art, for Beau­ty and for all that inspires the good­ness of this won­drous Cre­ation that sur­rounds you. Whether you take a walk in a for­est and con­nect to the life of spir­it in those mag­ni­fi­cient cathe­drals of nature, or stroll through a muse­um and behold the won­ders of your fel­low trav­el­er’s imag­i­na­tion, or you look into your lover’s eyes and see the uni­verse in that smile, you will do so with a new-found joy for the Song of Cre­ation that sur­rounds and sup­ports you.

Your mind is open and so is your heart…today is quite sim­ply a beau­ti­ful day.

Cel­e­brate the Beau­ty of your world…

Behold the won­der of Creation…

For your Mind and Heart are one…and this, this is Love.

Mercury Trine Saturn & Mercury Enters Pisces (February 13, 2012)

Even though the cal­en­dar says this is the “Moon’s” day (Mon­day), it sure seems like Mer­cury is call­ing the tune! Her­mes gets a part­ing mes­sage from Sat­urn before leav­ing the airy realms of Aquar­ius, div­ing down into the watery depths of Pisces.

Mer­cury is blessed by a beau­ti­ful trine from Sat­urn in Libra; your thoughts are clear, cen­tered and focused…on rela­tion­ships! Mer­cury’s trip through Aquar­ius has lift­ed your mind to con­sid­er the impor­tance of your larg­er world of your group asso­ci­a­tions based upon social ideals and dreams; you have come togeth­er and re-affirmed the hopes and dreams you share with your friends and com­pan­ions. Polit­i­cal, Social and Spir­i­tu­al caus­es have forged deep­er ties between you and your com­pa­tri­ots; you dream and act togeth­er so as to pre­serve or bring about the world you wish to live in.

But Sat­urn’s caress of Mer­cury reminds you that in your life it all comes down to this, that all these larg­er asso­ci­a­tions, your col­leagues, your com­pan­ions and your friends…that all these are first and fore­most formed by you “one by one”, because you must first relate to each oth­er “one on one”. Sat­urn shines a light upon this inti­mate truth that your larg­er social life is formed by essen­tial val­ues embod­ied and expressed in each and every per­son­al rela­tion­ship of your life. Today you will have a greater clar­i­ty about, a more nuanced under­stand­ing of the nature of rela­tion­ship in your life.

Sat­urn gen­tly reminds you that the mea­sure of your social aware­ness or con­scious­ness is most clear­ly expressed in your con­sid­er­ate con­duct with each and every sin­gle per­son you encounter in your dai­ly life. Every rela­tion­ship is an oppor­tu­ni­ty for you to become more aware and balanced…You see your­self through the oth­er and more tru­ly under­stand that “I am that”.

 

Then Mer­cury takes a leap and dives into the waters of Pisces…Mercury slips beyond “rea­son” and “log­ic” into the swirling mists of your Intu­ition­al Mind…Bright lights and sharp lines give way to shad­ings and nuances. Things…are not what they seem!

The sub­tleties of your aware­ness are called for now; sen­si­tiv­i­ty to the less appar­ent yet greater real­i­ty around and with­in you form the well-spring for your visions and dreams. There are won­ders to behold but you must not look direct­ly upon them; it is the side­ways glance, the periph­er­al view that car­ries the mes­sage now…for you are at the cross­ing point between the dark­ness and the light.

You must wait and you must be still.…and you will only hear if you lis­ten for the silence that is the full­ness; you will hear it now, the song of cre­ation with your intu­ition­al ear. When least expect­ed, and often unap­pre­ci­at­ed, your inner voice will offer a way. Do not dis­miss this gift, this won­der­ful touch from your high­er self who is always there beside you, but so much clos­er now.

The mes­sen­gers will come, but not with bright lights or sounds…they come in sparkles and laugh­ter, with glances and whis­pers for those who have eyes to see or ears to hear.

Open your mind and your heart, the uni­verse is singing to you now the Song of Cre­ation, your song, which is your jour­ney in Life-Conscious-Spirit…

It is time to behold the Wonder…

It is time to Dream…

It is time to Create.
