The wheel of life turns…and you turn too, so as to face a New Sun ris­ing in the East…And you know, that it is time, it is time to take your­self deeper…time to go with­in and con­sid­er your next step in this, your jour­ney of discovery.

You have been through a time of Fire…of Inspi­ra­tions and Visions, of enthu­si­asms and plans for your future…but now you must under­stand what you have with­in you to make it become True.

Now you must move from con­sid­er­ing “Who You Are” to “What You Have”. Now you must come into the won­drous realm of Earth, you must touch and smell, taste and hear, and you will see what is of val­ue in your­self and around you too.

Now you come back to Earth, you come around the wheel into your time of Tau­rus. Those visions, those plans…they are excit­ing and grand, but here you walk upon a mate­r­i­al plane and you must take your ethe­re­al into the Real.

You are a cre­ator pos­sess­ing pow­er, pow­er deter­mined by your self-knowl­edge. You pos­sess the pow­er to make a world, to cre­ate your life after your own fash­ion. What you have, what you hold, is the val­ue of yourself…and what you make, what you cre­ate, is the val­ue that you give.

This is the jour­ney of Tau­rus, the jour­ney into the heart of you, into what makes you “You”. This is your jour­ney to secure your val­ue, to mea­sure what you have and what you can cre­ate. This is your jour­ney to the Foun­tain-Source of you…and what will be revealed is your true self-worth.

And the won­der of that revelation…

What you hold and what you will give…

Is beyond the pow­er of any instru­ment or imag­i­na­tion to measure…

For you are Spir­it whose jour­ney is ever unfolding…

And what you make is the nev­er-end­ing sto­ry of Creation.

Okay…now you’re mov­ing! Mer­cury has come ’round again and re-enters Aries for the next 3 weeks…You’ve been dream­ing and drift­ing, review­ing and recollecting…Now it is time for Action!

While in the Pis­cean seas your mind was swept along, through those many lay­ered dimen­sions of the Greater Mystery…now your mind is fer­vent, focused and filled with the Fires of Presence.

You take your delight in enthu­si­asms and eager­ness, in your flash­es of bril­liant insight and impetu­ous ide­al­ism. There’s no time to wait, it’s Thought-Action, imme­di­ate and inde­pen­dent. One-mind­ed, striv­ing to excel…yes indeed, your mind is on Fire!

It’s your com­pet­i­tive spir­it that dri­ves your mind into high zeal.…there is no hes­i­tat­ing for you, right?…But of course, by now, you know what you must do, you know the path you fol­low and whose foot­steps you seek to match…you need to slow down, you need to stay cen­tered and not go off with­out true understanding.

Yes, use that enthu­si­as­tic energy…but lose your impa­tient attitude!

Be bright and bold…but be wise too, and not so eager to claim your way as the truth!

Your mind is on fire, but let your spir­it keep you calm so that you may show intel­li­gence too!

Be wise, be gentle…and always, always…listen and learn…

Remem­ber, always remem­ber, that the most impor­tant sign of true wisdom…is humility.

A Reck­on­ing is at hand…You face the Light (and your Shadow)…It is your time to look back, and your time to look ahead. What have you done with your last six months; where should you go for the next six? It is Time to Stop, to pause in this moment between the Infi­nite and Finite, to trea­sure this chance to understand…because you need to consider…You need to take stock and con­sid­er your expe­ri­ence of Real­i­ty-Mak­ing thus far…You need to bet­ter under­stand the nature and rela­tion­ship between your infi­nite poten­tial and your lim­it­ed reality.

Today you have reached the turn­ing in this year’s expe­ri­ence of you becom­ing You, of your real­i­ty-mak­ing, of you mov­ing from your seed-form to harvest-home…Today you stand in the mid­dle, between the Sun and Sat­urn, between the Light Ever­last­ing and the Ring-Pass-Not found in those shad­ows that are Sat­urn’s bound­ed bands.

The Sun rep­re­sents all that you can ever become, your pure poten­tial wait­ing to be unfold­ed by you. To do this, on this mate­r­i­al plane, you must embody your­self into some “Thing” and so ful­fill your­self by form­ing and fill­ing some ves­sel of being­ness. But by so doing you also become lim­it­ed to that thing, bound to what you have made…you have left the worlds of dreams and fall­en into mat­ter (Sat­urn). Whether it be a job or a rela­tion­ship or any “thing” at all, you have made it for your­self, from your­self and it is there­fore lim­it­ed by your lev­el of understanding.

Now you need to look at that form of self-man­i­fes­ta­tion and com­pare it to your orig­i­nal intent. How ade­quate is your real­i­ty-mak­ing to your dream­ing? How does this real com­pare to your ide­al? Have you cho­sen well, have you per­formed (act­ed in a role and upon a stage) that is right, true and mean­ing­ful for you?

Well, unless you are a Bud­dha, you will and must answer that, “this “thing” is not what I intend­ed, this real­i­ty is not what I dreamed”. Of course it is not, how could it be?…For you are still learn­ing to be a co-cre­ator of this Universe…

But do not be troubled…This is your jour­ney and you must con­tin­ue to strive, to draw clos­er to the greater real­i­ty that is with­in you (ever-wait­ing for you to release it in a more per­fect form). To do this, you must learn from what you have done before, to under­stand what was right, and what could have been better…That is what this moment is for…to pause, to con­sid­er and to learn to become better.

Then, you can turn and face the Light and the Dark­ness and have that greater faith, the know­ing belief that pro­pels you to be a more per­fect Creator…

You will become what is with­in you…You will unfold more per­fect­ly the beau­ty that is with­in and make it the Real­i­ty around you too. You can accept these lim­its, those shad­owed bound­ed bands of Sat­urn, because you under­stand that they are the very instru­ment of your learn­ing, of how you unfold from poten­tial to being, of how you become the becoming…

Stand now between the Dark­ness and the Light…

Between What is and What will be…

Stand at the crossing…as you move from the Dark­ness into the Light.

Eighty-two days (and nights)…that’s how long you have trav­elled on that dim-lit path, your world with­in, for 82 long, long days…This is how you have been there…Bending back, return­ing, review­ing, reclaim­ing, restoring…so that you might bet­ter under­stand and move to fulfill…you and your heart’s desire…

For almost 12 weeks, you have jour­neyed through the re-con­sid­er­a­tion of what mat­ters to you, of what you tru­ly desire, and of how you might obtain it. You have had this oppor­tu­ni­ty to go back and make sure that the aims you have and the actions that you employ ring true…to make sure that you are on your path and walk­ing it well…

Now you are at the next turning…for Mars is turn­ing Direct!

This is your time to move ahead, your time to aim a lit­tle higher…and so move your aspi­ra­tions into a greater real­i­ty. Hav­ing done your ret­ro­spec­tive and brought your inner and out­er worlds into a bet­ter align­ment, now you are ready to move through the world with a greater integration…and integrity.

Your bear­ing, demeanor and pres­ence are clear­er so that your authen­tic self is appar­ent to all. You can be your­self because you move through the world with a new­found pur­pose­ful­ness and a deep­er Virtuosity…

Pro­grams, plans and activ­i­ties that have seemed on hold, caught with­in the dol­drums of your jour­ney, for a time out­ward­ly direc­tion­less because that was the point of this pause…now they all can become engaged and car­ried out. Your phys­i­cal renew­al, emo­tion­al con­nect­ed­ness, men­tal clar­i­ty and spir­i­tu­al intent align to inform and light your path ahead.

Right think­ing is your Foun­tain-Source for Right Action…

Right Action leads to Right­eous results…

The path of self-mas­tery is your one true way forward…

This is your jour­ney, dhar­ma to karma…

You on the path of Truth.

Plu­to, Lord of Will and the Col­lec­tive Uncon­scious, the Lord of the Under­world, is going deep­er still…For the next five months you are offered this oppor­tu­ni­ty to do a lit­tle dig­ging into your very own per­son­al, sub­ter­ranean depths…

That’s right, it is time to turn around, grab a lamp and take that cir­cuitous path­way through the cat­a­combs of your inner world. Plu­to, one of the three aspects of the Divine with­in you (Uranus/Mind, Neptune/Love and Pluto/Will) is the Lord and Mak­er of Boundaries…

With­in your space, cen­tered upon your spir­i­tu­al core (the mon­ad with­in) you mark off and define the bound­aries of your life so as to define your sacred space as you sep­a­rate your­self from all the oth­er sacred spaces that sur­round you. Your sacred space and exer­cise of your free will is cir­cum­scribed by your lev­el of con­scious­ness. The more spir­i­tu­al­ly aware you become, the more you become free-willed and your life less “fat­ed”. (And, the more igno­rant and unaware you remain, the more your life will seem to just hap­pen to you.…because you remain unaware of what you have set in motion…of how you have bound­ed your­self by your unconsciousness).

Through the count­less lives of your unfold­ment, as well as ear­li­er in this cur­rent life, you have tak­en many steps, set many things in motion by your will, some with greater aware­ness but some with less…and so you have also cre­at­ed shad­ows with­in your sacred space. With­in those shad­ows lie ener­gies that are trapped, unpro­duc­tive if not destruc­tive to you and to others…they are whirls of ener­gy, of spir­it-mat­ter that loop around with­in and around you (they are what mod­ern sci­ence call “emo­tion­al com­plex­es”, “com­pul­sions”, “pho­bias”, “neu­roses”, etc.)

Now with Plu­to turn­ing, you have an oppor­tu­ni­ty to dig into those bound­ed but unpro­duc­tive spaces with­in your space, to lift up your aware­ness a lit­tle high­er and so make freer your spirit…You can release your­self from this lev­el of pur­ga­to­ry, of self-bondage, from this lev­el of lim­it­ed consciousness…as you walk the path­way that leads you to the Greater Understanding.

The goal, of course, is to reach the end of this human part of your jour­ney, to cre­ate the sacred space of you that is clear, unshad­owed, lumi­nous and ful­ly con­scious. The goal is to pass through that por­tal where the exem­plars and teach­ers gone before you, to become a shin­ing one endowed with Cos­mic Con­scious­ness, to be as Krish­na, Bud­dha, Christ and many, many others.

But for now, at this turn­ing, what is required is the next lit­tle step, the next jour­ney with­in so as to clear and clean your sacred space and make it a more fit­ting home for the being who lives there…

Let Plu­to take you down, into your pit of the shad­ows that you your­self have made…and take com­fort in that knowledge…that you made these shadows…and you can unmake them as well…

Your goal is before you…Three core prin­ci­ples to ful­fill your destiny…

A Free Mind…Unconditional Love…Centered Will…

Now…Take your next step…
