Astro­log­i­cal Mus­ings – The 2020 Pres­i­den­tial Elec­tion, A look at the Can­di­dates (March 30, 2019)

In my sixth show of 2019 I will begin to exam­ine the 2020 Pres­i­den­tial Race and the var­i­ous can­di­dates. There are var­i­ous tech­niques Astrologers use to eval­u­ate the like­li­hood of one can­di­date ver­sus anoth­er, and we will look at sev­er­al cur­rent con­tenders includ­ing Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Kamala Har­ris, Beto O’Rourke, Eliz­a­beth War­ren, Cory Book­er and oth­ers. Of course, we will also con­sid­er the like­li­hood of Don­ald Trump being the Repub­li­can can­di­date and see what his chart indi­cates for 2020.

As before, I will answer your ques­tions dur­ing the show, whether on these top­ics 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: billattride@gmail.com.

The Pow­er of Presence

Hap­py New Year!

Today marks the begin­ning of the Astro­log­i­cal Year. Today you turn a cor­ner and enter a new space, and the ques­tion the uni­verse has for you now is quite sim­ply this:

Who are you?

Some­where in your chart, whether it is your Sun or Moon, your Venus or Mars, or maybe it is just on a cusp of one of your twelve hous­es, but some­how and some­where your “being”, your nature is mod­u­lat­ed by and attuned to this expe­ri­ence informed by Aries. For the next 30 days you should take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to con­sid­er what the mean­ing of Aries holds for you in your life.

Wher­ev­er you have Aries, that is where you begin your jour­ney to know your­self, that is where you take up the task once more of expe­ri­enc­ing what I call “the pow­er of your Pres­ence”.

It is in Aries that you start the jour­ney to the truth of being your­self in the only place where you are free to be and to become. For it is in Aries that you expe­ri­ence the mys­tery of liv­ing in what we take for grant­ed, the ever-unfold­ing real­i­ty of the “Eter­nal Now”. The only place you can tru­ly be is in the “here and the now”, your being­ness is of this Place and Peri­od, in what we call Space-Time.

It is only in the Eter­nal Now that you are free to be and become what you are meant to be. Here at the razors edge, where the past is redeemed and the future is forged, here you are the liv­ing Spir­it who is striv­ing to become a more com­plete human. Aries requires you to be aware of this most pre­cious gift of your self-aware­ness, this place and time defined by your aware­ness of you and that vehi­cle you are form­ing that reveals you to your world…your Per­sona. This per­sona is what you lead with, it is made man­i­fest by your bear­ing, it is revealed in your demeanor, and is formed by the qual­i­ties of your char­ac­ter, it is quite sim­ply the essen­tial ener­gy-form of you.

The pow­er of new begin­nings, this is the joy and pas­sion of Aries. To have a flash of insight, to be inspired by a new vision, to believe and strive to be a bet­ter you and to make a bet­ter world, this is the core of Aries. But it rais­es a very big question…what exact­ly or who exact­ly are you?

Yes, before you can take the very next step, you must con­sid­er from what and whence you came. Then equal­ly you must turn and look ahead, and you must imag­ine what will be the next space and time you wish to be forg­ing too. For what you have done, in this life and so many oth­ers, form “the where and the what” you are com­ing from, espe­cial­ly in terms of your assets and strengths. But this past equal­ly forges the lim­its upon your­self as formed by your doubts and fears as well. And so, you must take the mea­sure of you, you must assess what you are attempt­ing to accom­plish, and see whether you have the apti­tude and atti­tude that will bring you to the end that you desire.

No mat­ter where you have come from, and no mat­ter where you are going, in Aries the most impor­tant deter­mi­na­tion of what will be, of what will hap­pen is, “you”. How you meet the moment, how you move your­self through this field of the now is the thing you are chal­lenged to master.

Your degree of devel­op­ment, your spir­i­tu­al matu­ri­ty, is revealed at the very first by your demeanor and by your atti­tude, by the sen­si­bil­i­ty of how you bring to bear exact­ly what is need­ed from you to meet each moment as best as you can, as best as you should. You must nei­ther be “Over-Bear­ing or Under-Whelm­ing”. You only have this one pre­cious oppor­tu­ni­ty, this one and only chance in “the now” to make the future that will be, and you want to get it right.

This is where you move from your past into your future, here in the “Eter­nal Now”. This encounter is a del­i­cate inte­gral bal­ance formed by your aware­ness of you, revealed by this essen­tial nature of you or your “pres­ence”, which is the inte­gral fusion of your inten­tion and under­stand­ing, blend­ed with what you have appre­hend­ed about this space that you are enter­ing. The ques­tion is, how aware are you of what you are encoun­ter­ing, and what ver­sion of you should you bring?

You are bring­ing “you” into this space, but what does this moment of Space-Time need from you? You must sense, you must appre­hend in the first moment what is need­ed here. Did you enter a dull space and so real­ize, “Ah, let me bring my live­ly self into here”; or, did you enter an over­ly excit­ed space and under­stand, “Oh, let me bring my calm­ing self into here”? This is how and where you reveal your spir­i­tu­al aware­ness and the matu­ri­ty of your char­ac­ter. Quite sim­ply, are you con­tribut­ing to the advance­ment of spir­it, or not? Are you a part of the solu­tion, or are you a part of the problem?

Aries rules this under­stand­ing, that you are being your­self through these var­i­ous per­sonas, as you bring to bear the best of you as required to cre­ate the most mean­ing­ful way to be in the “eter­nal now”, and this is how you forge a bet­ter future. As you become more self-aware, and equal­ly per­cep­tive of your sur­round­ings, you refine these vehi­cles of your “self”, these approach­es of you that are most appro­pri­ate to every moment of your life.

Even­tu­al­ly, as one reach­es the most refined of lev­els of spir­i­tu­al aware­ness you become what is known as “an Adept”, a human of grace, beau­ty and kind­li­ness. You are ful­ly awake, free from fear, guid­ed by the abid­ing Truth that holds all of Life as One.

You are a shin­ing one, infused with the light of Uncon­di­tion­al Love and with a Pres­ence that is forever­more “Wel­com­ing and Welcome”.

Yes, it is by Aries that you set out to be you, to set a shin­ing exam­ple of what makes you “you”, you start the jour­ney of becom­ing a bet­ter you.

It is in Aries, wher­ev­er that is found in you, it is here that you will inspire oth­ers to fol­low your exam­ple which is to be guid­ed by the Love of the One that shines in one and all.

Astro­log­i­cal Mus­ings – Cur­rent con­di­tions and Trump (March 16, 2019)

In my fifth show of 2019 I will make some obser­va­tions on major Astro­log­i­cal indi­ca­tors for our cur­rent peri­od. I will also take a clos­er look at the sig­nif­i­cance of the tran­sits in Don­ald Trump’s chart.

As before, I will answer your ques­tions dur­ing the show, whether on these top­ics 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: billattride@gmail.com.

Please join me on Sat­ur­day March 16^th @ 2 pm EDT as we look at the cur­rent astro­log­i­cal indi­ca­tions and what they mean for you.

Today begins one of the three Mer­cury ret­ro­grades for 2019, (the oth­er two being from July 7^th to July 31^st, and from Octo­ber 31^st to Novem­ber 20^th). The oppor­tu­ni­ty pre­sent­ed by Mer­cury ret­ro­grade is often­times lost in the seem­ing stum­bles, errors and break­downs in “com­mu­ni­ca­tions” that seem to accom­pa­ny its ret­ro­grade peri­ods. For many peo­ple, Mer­cury in ret­ro­grade is often expe­ri­enced as just a more annoy­ing and frus­trat­ing peri­od in a world that is already filled with enough anx­i­ety, doubts and fear.

But you must remem­ber, that the rea­son you are here, the pur­pose of your life, is to become an ever more self-aware and con­scious co-cre­ator in the sto­ry of Spir­it, this sto­ry that is Cre­ation. To that end, Mer­cury ret­ro­grade should be approached with grat­i­tude, grace and humil­i­ty. It is a spe­cial time, one that is meant to take you “out of the ordi­nary”, away from the every­day jum­ble of mul­ti­ple inputs and out­puts, to move you apart from the nev­er-end­ing dai­ly chal­lenges of your life.

It is a “time to pause”, and to con­sid­er your life and world from a more objec­tive and self-aware per­spec­tive. And, just like Mer­cury, you should use this time to turn around, to slow down, and re-con­sid­er how well your under­stand­ing of your­self and your world match­es with what you are encoun­ter­ing in the world around you.

The entire Mer­cury ret­ro­grade will take place in the sign of Pisces. You will find that the ques­tions you encounter now will bring your atten­tion to one of the ulti­mate ques­tions of your life:

“Do you live in Faith­ful­ness, or are you held by Fearfulness?”

It is in Pisces that you come to know the truth of your spir­i­tu­al nature, of being a Cre­ator whose Imag­i­na­tion and Dreams cre­ate your Des­tiny. Hence the promise (and warn­ing for you) is this fun­da­men­tal spir­i­tu­al truth:

The dreams you dream, will become the thoughts that you think; and, those thoughts will inform and form your actions; and it is by this that you con­tin­ue to make and remake you and your world.

Use the next three weeks to pon­der and con­sid­er what it is you wish for, to tru­ly know the dreams you have for your­self and for one anoth­er too. Then com­pare these to what you see in your­self and in your world. Now under­stand this, with con­sid­er­a­tion for what you are tru­ly respon­si­ble for, the dif­fer­ence between the Dream and your Real­i­ty will be formed by your doubts, anx­i­eties and fears.

The promised land your heart and soul yearn for is to be found by stand­ing in the Light of Love and Truth that form your High­er Self, your Spir­i­tu­al Con­scious­ness. It is by fac­ing and over­com­ing these fears of your less­er self, the shad­owy echoes of your past stum­bles and falls, it is by under­stand­ing and let­ting go of these shades that you will be able to make your dreams come true.

But here again the mes­sage of Pisces reminds you what you must do in order to tru­ly let go and grow. What is required of you for your­self, and what you must cer­tain­ly hold as you deal with one anoth­er, is to be guid­ed by com­pas­sion and for­give­ness. For how could you become bet­ter unless you give your­self per­mis­sion and so cre­ate a space to grow into the bet­ter you? And how could those around you do like­wise if you do not give them this gift of com­pas­sion, for­give­ness and grace as well?

This is the goal of your spir­i­tu­al jour­ney, this is how you grow:

To be Faith­ful and Fear­less, to Love and to Forgive.

Take some time with Mer­cury to clear your mind and heart of regrets and fear. For­give your­self and for­give one anoth­er for any painful thoughts, words and deeds.

Cre­ate a space for new Life and Love by approach­ing one anoth­er with Love and Compassion.

This is the gift of Mer­cury Ret­ro­grade in Pisces.

It is the gift of True Under­stand­ing and Love.

This is the Wis­dom of Love.
