Astrological Musings — The New Year, Part 2 (January 26, 2025)

This will be our first show in 2025, and I will review the minor and major phe­nom­e­na of the com­ing year. As I not­ed in my last show, and it bears repeat­ing today (and through­out the year), this will be quite a year of change as all of the out­er plan­ets are tran­si­tion­ing to new signs this year, indi­cat­ing major shifts of ener­gy-forms that will be expe­ri­enced by us all. I will also exam­ine the “ordi­nary” shifts we will expe­ri­ence by the inner plan­ets, includ­ing the Lunar and Solar eclipses, Mer­cury ret­ro­grades, and look at Venus and Mars in ret­ro­grade and what­ev­er else might be of interest.

But before you join me for the show, please read the announce­ment and guid­ance below:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Many of you will remem­ber that in my last show of 2024, almost no one was able to chat with me, as BlogTalk radio had tech­ni­cal issues. It turned out that BlogTalk radio is shut­ting down in a few days, so I have had to move my old shows to a new site called “Spreak­er”, (and the link for all shows from now on will be found there, as well as on Apple Pod­casts, Spo­ti­fy, and many oth­er pod­cast sites.)

Unfor­tu­nate­ly, this ser­vice does not include a live, call-in fea­ture, nor is there any show that does both live call-in and the host­ing of a pod­cast like BlogTalk did. So, I have looked into sev­er­al alter­na­tives. But for the time being, I am going to see if I can use a ser­vice that I use most every day, often sev­er­al times a day, which is Zoom. If today’s show works as well as BlogTalk did, I may con­tin­ue with this Zoom for­mat, if not, then I will try anoth­er method.

GUIDANCE FOR ZOOM
For those of you who are famil­iar with Zoom (and for those who are not), I will be set­ting up the show with both com­put­er and phone access, with the video turned off and every­one on mute. You may either log on with your com­put­er or phone app to Zoom by click­ing on the link below or you may dial in with one of the phone num­bers below, just as some of you did on the BlogTalk platform.

If you use your phone and dial in for the show, Zoom will answer and ask you to input the Meet­ing ID and press #. It will then ask you to input your Par­tic­i­pant ID, (but you do not need to), so just press # again. If the show has start­ed, Zoom will then ask you to input the Pass­code and press # once more and you will be in the Zoom. If you have dialed in before the show has start­ed, you will be in a wait­ing room until the show starts. If you use your com­put­er or the Zoom app to reach the show, you will also need to input the Meet­ing ID and Pass­code to join the meeting.

If you would like to speak with me in the sec­ond half of the show, for those on the phone you will need to press *9 to “raise your hand”, (or press *9 again to low­er your hand). Those on the com­put­er or Zoom app can choose the “React” menu on the task bar and choose “Raise hand”.

I will click on an indi­vid­ual with their “hand raised” and Zoom will inform you to unmute. For those on the phone, Zoom will tell you to press *6 to do this. For those on a com­put­er or Zoom app, just choose the Audio but­ton and unmute so that we might speak. After we chat, I will mute you and move onto the next indi­vid­ual who has raised their hand.

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.

Sun Enters Aquarius (January 19, 2025)

One for all, and all for the One

For the past 30 days you have con­sid­ered the path and pur­pose of your life. It is in the sign of Capri­corn that you meet your des­tiny, as you take the mea­sure of how mas­ter­ful you have become, of how well you have been respon­si­ble in and ful­filled by your achieve­ments and con­tri­bu­tions, revealed in your bear­ing and by your con­duct, shaped and guid­ed into these works of your char­ac­ter. You and “your works” are the self-forged liv­ing tes­ta­ment to your spir­i­tu­al understanding.

After you have reached this sum­mit, once you have done your duty to be your very best, once you have hon­ored, pre­served and passed on what your ances­tors gave to you, after all your tri­als and labors, what will your next step be?

Today you leave the realm of Capri­corn and enter the space of Aquar­ius. At this time every year, and wher­ev­er Aquar­ius is found in your chart, you are remind­ed of what is at the root of every par­ti­cle of Cos­mos, the light ever­last­ing, the spark of the Divine. Behind the whole of Cre­ation is the One, and being a one of the One, your whole nature is divined and defined by the essence of spir­it, which is “to be, by self-becoming”.

So, hav­ing ful­filled your respon­si­bil­i­ties, to your fam­i­ly, to your com­mu­ni­ty, you might indeed won­der, “what comes next, what do I do now?” Ancient teach­ings and wise ones will gen­tly sug­gest, and your very own “voice of the silence” will con­cur, that it is not enough to pro­tect and pre­serve what was made by your ances­tors. The ever­last­ing spir­it of your divine mon­ad was not made, nor can it be held fast by what was. You are part of the jour­ney of Spir­it, and you are here to reach for the unmet promise, to make for the dis­tant hori­zon of the unre­al­ized dream of what you and your world are yet to be.

As much as it was not enough to know and tell the Truth in Sagit­tar­ius, you had to become and live by that Truth in Capri­corn, so too it is not enough to stand for what is right and pre­serve the ways of our ances­tors in Capri­corn. Because you are here to grow beyond what has been, to be the mak­er of a bet­ter you and to make a bet­ter world, for you, for your chil­dren and all who will come after you too.

You are here to reach beyond what was estab­lished and secured by your own efforts, and also by all those who came before you. Aquar­ius is the space where we dream of what might be, of who we might become, and how we will cre­ate and make a bet­ter life for our­selves and for one anoth­er too.

Because, after all, behind all the what’s and why’s of what it means to be human, it all comes down to this…why are you here?

You are here for one sub­lime pur­pose; you are on this beau­ti­ful Earth to become a bet­ter human. You are on the path of awak­en­ing, and it will even­tu­al­ly lead to your self-ful­fill­ment as a ful­ly con­scious co-cre­ator of Cre­ation, what is known as a “freed mon­ad”, where you will no longer be utter­ly bound to the law of karma.

You are on a path that leads to true free­dom, and your pur­pose is to free your­self. But this is also true about the way in which you will become free. You can­not be tru­ly free with­out being the means to free one anoth­er. Because your self-ful­fill­ment and your free­dom can only be real­ized by means of and through one anoth­er. This is the one true path of the liv­ing spir­it; we are all part of a bright shin­ing com­mu­ni­ty of light and love.

This is the Truth of Aquar­ius; that you are only what you are because you are part of a great com­pa­ny, a sacred fel­low­ship, a band of broth­ers and sis­ters who are seek­ing to cre­ate a bet­ter future. You are here to help one anoth­er to be the very means by which your dreams come true, your hap­pi­ness made real in them, and theirs in you.

This is the spark of the divine held by Aquar­ius. That you are part of a great human fel­low­ship, a great fam­i­ly of souls. The dream of human­i­ty can only be ful­filled through one anoth­er, because you are for­ev­er inex­tri­ca­bly made by and for one anoth­er, by your fel­low­ships and friend­ships, by your dream­ing and doing and lov­ing one another.

You are here for one rea­son, to become a bet­ter human.
You are on a path of awak­en­ing that leads to true freedom.
Your pur­pose is to free your­self, as you equal­ly do this for one anoth­er too.

We will be what we dream, and we will become what we were des­tined to be.

Because we are “One for all, and all for the One”.
