The ful­crum of 2014 draws closer…

Deci­sions, choic­es, challenges…they

Are all around you.

Behind, before, above and below you,

But most espe­cial­ly, the ones that count

Are always found within.

Many oth­ers will pull and push upon you,

You may become confused,

Or you may become disillusioned.

But all you need remember,

Is that always and forever,

There is a calm, qui­et sanctuary,

A source of love and light for you.

When­ev­er you become unsure,

As you seek The Way,

Just lis­ten to that gen­tle, lov­ing voice within.

Your true Self is there,

With you for­ev­er and always.

The kind­ly lov­ing “Voice of the Silence” is there,

And you will remem­ber, oh yes you will know,

What is right and what is wrong.

For in the end, there is no oth­er way,

“To Love or not”,

That is the only question.

Remem­ber this one Truth,

Be at Peace and be assured,

You true Self, your Beloved will for­ev­er keep you,

Cen­tered, safe and loving,

In your walk among the Stars.

The Dance of the Plan­ets is build­ing to a most seri­ous and aus­pi­cious crescen­do. Though many voic­es will be heard preach­ing and pre­dict­ing the very worse, (and some­times more that this!), you should know that these align­ments are not excep­tion­al, they are most cer­tain­ly not “bad” (or “good” for that matter).

These kind or type of align­ments have and will hap­pen again and again. All that mat­ters for you, all that you are here to learn is how to Mas­ter your­self. For it is from your degree of Spir­i­tu­al Aware­ness, it is from your pre­sid­ing lev­el of self-con­scious­ness, self-con­trol and self-deter­mi­na­tion, that you fash­ion your life from what­ev­er is flow­ing around and from with­in you. For it is you who forges your Real­i­ty, and your Future too. Remem­ber, these ener­gies that sweep around you in the Star­ry spaces above are no more or less than the awe­some pow­ers that reside with­in you as well, “For as above, so below”. Be not afraid and choose to be who you real­ly are, always choose Love.

Remem­ber, no one can say when you will awak­en to the Greater Aware­ness, and so live in the Truer Real­i­ty that is with­in and around you too. But as you slow­ly begin to par­tic­i­pate more con­scious­ly in lift­ing your­self (and so your world) to a more cre­ative and lov­ing space, so too will these awe­some ener­gies that are the true you be put to a more cre­ative and lov­ing purpose.

What you have and need to do always, (as a more or less self-con­scious, self-aware spir­it that is learn­ing to be a con­sid­er­ate, lov­ing co-cre­ator of this Cos­mos of Won­der) is this:

You have a respon­si­bil­i­ty to choose how you will use your Pow­er, you have to stay focused and cen­tered and not be con­fused or dis­tract­ed by those who tell you that things “hap­pen to you”, that you have no choice, when in fact it is you as a Liv­ing Spir­it that is help­ing to make it all hap­pen. And know too, that when sev­er­al of you gath­er togeth­er with this greater spir­i­tu­al under­stand­ing, well that is when the real “mag­ic” begins!

Though every day you need to draw clos­er to this Truth of your Spir­i­tu­al Iden­ti­ty, there are times in any life that will stand out and remind you that what will be the mea­sure of you at the end of this sojourn on Earth is this:

That what you gave is what you did receive. In this pre­cious time that you have to live here, every sin­gle moment, every thought you share, every feel­ing you express, every action you take…all of it is or will become your Future. You are your Kar­ma, and you with your com­pan­ions are the cre­ators who make your own heav­en or hell here on Earth.

Today the Grand Car­di­nal Cross of 2014 is most cer­tain­ly acti­vat­ed as Mer­cury, the Lord and Avatar of Thought and Com­mu­ni­ca­tion is align­ing exact­ly with three of the four plan­ets who now stand in those Car­di­nal Cor­ners, (and he will align with the fourth cor­ner held by Mars on Wednesday).

And, not only does Mer­cury align today with Jupiter, Uranus and Plu­to, but Plu­to is chang­ing direc­tion and “stand­ing still” too, turn­ing ret­ro­grade (until Sep­tem­ber 22), and that will bring into even greater focus the qual­i­ty and con­di­tion of your Will and Sacred Space.

More­over, not only is all of this “hap­pen­ing”, but today/tonight is also the day of the first Lunar Eclipse of 2014. Every month, at each Full Moon, you are remind­ed to stand back and con­sid­er the potent mes­sages and guid­ance that is offered to you by this pri­ma­ry dance of your Sun and Moon. But a Total Lunar Eclipse is a mes­sage that rein­forces the mean­ings of this moment, and reminds you by the beau­ty of this dance of Light and Shad­ows of the com­plex­i­ty and inter­con­nec­tiv­i­ty of your life here and what is hap­pen­ing “up there”.

Yes, this is quite a time, this is quite a month…but what you need to know, of course, is what does this all mean? Since I will exam­ine in more depth the mes­sages of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross when it is most exact between April 20–23, for today let us focus upon the par­tic­u­lar mean­ings of Mer­cury’s elic­i­ta­tions that are here in this moment. I will post anoth­er com­ment after­ward with regards to the Total Lunar Eclipse as well.

Where­as all 4 align­ments of Mer­cury with the Cross should be held as one com­plete mes­sage, as they only form a com­plete spir­i­tu­al mes­sage when inte­grat­ed and bal­anced by one anoth­er, it is help­ful exam­ine them sep­a­rate­ly, each as one melody in a four part har­mo­ny of truth.

The first melody of Spir­it is that of Mer­cury in Aries Squar­ing Jupiter in Can­cer. The Enthu­si­asm and Ide­al­ism of Mer­cury in Aries is most need­ful of tem­per­ing by the ancient, famil­iar and cen­ter­ing truths that flow to you now from your Spir­i­tu­al Roots by Jupiter in Can­cer. As you “lead” with your mind­ful inten­tions now, as you prac­tice the Art of the Pres­ence in Aries, you need to con­sid­er most care­ful­ly the feel­ings that bind you to one anoth­er, for you are all part of the fam­i­ly of human.

For as much as you need to stretch your thoughts into new spaces of self-expres­sion, you must equal­ly remain in touch with the con­texts of mean­ing formed by the lega­cy and efforts of those who came before you, as well as remain under­stand­able to your present-day com­pan­ions. For if you push your­self (and them) to far, you may slip beyond what is rea­son­able and sound, and your Ide­al­ism could cre­ate the very oppo­site of your well-inten­tioned meaning.

There is always present this ten­sion in Spir­i­tu­al Truth, between what is Ide­al or Right and what is Tru­ly the Good. That if the Law is such and such, then so be it, let it be done. But always between the Let­ter of the Law, between what is seem­ing­ly absolute and true, comes the inter­ces­sion of Love and Com­pas­sion in how one should Think and then Act. That as much as you must hold to the High­est Ideals, there is no high­er Truth than to Care and to Love one anoth­er. So you must find the tru­ly Spir­i­tu­al Way, the way between, to find what is right and lov­ing too.

The sec­ond melody of Mer­cury today is elicit­ed by his Con­junc­tion with Uranus who is also in Aries. Here you will find one of the most potent keys to the mys­tery of your Self-Tran­scen­dence, of how you are able to walk the path of Mind­ful advance­ment. For it is by Uranus, the Avatar of your High­er Mind that resides with­in your­self, it is by this that you are aid­ed in step­ping out­side of your nec­es­sary but self-lim­it­ing and self-made bound­aries of thought-forms. For these Thought-Forms have been cre­at­ed by you, and they form your per­cep­tion of what you see as your world, that is true. But these very Lens­es of Illu­mi­na­tion that you have formed will then also shad­ow and obscure from you what is the Greater Real­i­ty beyond your present know­ing too.

Through­out your jour­ney, you have to assume cer­tain para­me­ters, prin­ci­ples, ideas and beliefs in order to cre­ate your par­a­digm of life, and so you must. But that very par­a­digm will become its own prison of per­spec­tive that will hold you in a shad­owed world. That is until some sparkling, shock­ing, often­times upset­ting but won­drous burst from Uranus will reveal to you some­thing beyond what was known, expectable or accept­ed by you or your world…And it is then that you will have your Epiphany, the scales will fall from your eyes, and you rise into a greater, more inclu­sive under­stand­ing, once again.

The third melody of Mer­cury is formed by his Square with Plu­to in Capri­corn. Much as with Mer­cury to Jupiter, Plu­to here is mod­u­lat­ing the enthu­si­asm of Mer­cury by one of the three core prin­ci­ples of Spir­it. You are here to mas­ter your­self in order to devel­op and exer­cise your will, for by this you will cre­ate and live in Sacred Spaces with one anoth­er. Your most impor­tant task here is to main­tain Men­tal Self-Con­trol, hold­ing your own Mind as a Sacred Space, but at the same time to equal­ly treat all oth­ers with this same con­sid­er­a­tion, for of course their thoughts and men­tal space are sacred too.

If you mis­un­der­stand or mis­use your will with regards to your mind, you may be tempt­ed to bend anoth­er to your way of think­ing, and even go so far that in so doing you feel you have “won” or proven right when you force them to think as you. But all you have done is dimin­ish them and their will, and equal­ly cause dam­age to your own soul too.

For by think­ing and act­ing in this way you most cer­tain­ly reveal that you have failed to appre­ci­ate the very nature of how your Con­scious­ness formed, and you have failed to under­stand how it is that you will grow beyond your own lim­it­ed space of know­ing. The word Con­scious­ness lit­er­al­ly means “Togeth­er-Know­ing”. It means that the only way in which you are able to form your under­stand­ing, the only way you will advance your under­stand­ing is through and by shar­ing, blend­ing and inte­grat­ing your thoughts and sen­si­bil­i­ties with one anoth­er. You are made of one anoth­er and the only way to see beyond your own self-cast shad­owed thought-forms is by bring­ing into your own thought-forms the per­spec­tive and light that comes from many oth­ers too.

This Pow­er of the Will is most empha­sized now, for it is also today that Plu­to turns ret­ro­grade. I men­tioned this in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2014 where I noted:

Plu­to Ret­ro­grade (April 14 until Sep­tem­ber 22)

The Lord of Will and Sacred Space begins his annu­al peri­od of ret­ro­grade, and it is time once again to re-con­nect to the well-spring of your Sacred Space, to re-affirm one of your three Prin­ci­ple Spir­i­tu­al Gifts, the Pow­er of your Will. It is time to use this pow­er as it must and will be even­tu­al­ly mas­tered by you, to use this pow­er for what must come first, which is that you are here quite sim­ply to Mas­ter Your­self, to have Self-Con­trol and there­by Self-Deter­mi­na­tion. For only then can you com­bine with oth­er Cen­tered, Self-Con­trolled Com­pan­ions to cre­ate and build your shared Sacred Spaces together.

Yes, Mer­cury the Mes­sen­ger is acti­vat­ing the Grand Car­di­nal Cross today by form­ing a tri­par­tite link for you and these three of four Avatars.

From Jupiter the imper­a­tive to stay cen­tered with­in the Ancient Truths that have guid­ed your jour­ney from the beginning.

From Uranus the gift of Self-Tran­scen­dence that is there with­in your own High­er Mind.

And from Plu­to the pow­er to choose to ful­fill your respon­si­bil­i­ty to pro­tect all Sacred Spaces, start­ing most impor­tant­ly with your own mind.

Now what remains is your Fourth Car­di­nal Cor­ner, and we will look at Mars when Mer­cury meets him on the 16th, Wednes­day, which is Mer­cury’s day.

Now, lis­ten for the whisperings,

Gen­tle stir­rings from within.

The Light is draw­ing closer,

The Path­way now is clear.

You are an Immortal,

Upon a Long Journey,

Lift­ing up your Soul.

The Four Sta­tions of the Car­di­nal Cross.

There you will find a way,

A way through and back to the center,

A way to remem­ber and live with what is sacred.

This is your awakening,

Your fate, as always,

in your hands.

You will Square the Cir­cle and be steadfast.

Being whole and com­plete, behold­en to Spir­it only,

Cen­tered in Truth and Will, by Action and through Love,

You will be a bea­con in the Dark­ness, for

You are here to help one anoth­er find your way…Home.

Today the Sun aligns with Mars, and your Star illu­mi­nates the Fourth and Final Gate of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross. This past week, where the Sun aligned with the four quar­ters of the Cross, has been more or less a wake-up call, a reminder for you about the con­nect­ed­ness of all things, and of your need to pre­pare for the cli­max of this Plan­e­tary Cross Pat­tern which will occur from April 20 to 23.

(Though there will of course be many oth­er stim­u­lat­ing elic­i­ta­tions before and after these exact dates for the Grand Cross too. One is just ahead, when Mer­cury makes this same four-fold pass from April 14 to 16, which will also just hap­pen to coin­cide with a Full Moon Total Eclipse of April 14–15…Oh yes, there is a lot going on “up there”, and you bet­ter believe there will be quite the same down here too).

The Sun is the Avatar and source for you of the Spir­i­tu­al forces that flow from the cen­ter of your galaxy, your Milky Way. But of course what abides at the core of the Sun is also in you. It is also your inner­most, your spark of Divine, there at your cen­ter, and so those self-same spir­i­tu­al forces also arise from with­in you too. For don’t you know, you came from a Star, you are upon a jour­ney through these many Man­sions, through the many Spaces of Space until one fine day, when you have mas­tered your­self, you too will shine ful­ly, freely as a Star too.

Dri­ving the sto­ry of this ever-unfold­ing Cre­ation, from the small­est of infin­i­tes­i­mals on up through to the plan­ets, stars and galax­ies, from the bare­ly sen­tient on up to the con­scious and then self-con­scious life-forms and beyond, from those Inner­most Realms to the Infini­ties beyond your know­ing, behind it all is the one pri­mal drive…Desire.

For at the core of Spir­it is this one imper­a­tive that is yours too, you are here to Grow. You are here to Become, to unfold your Infi­nite Poten­tial, both inward­ly and out­ward­ly, and so unfold your Divine Spir­it into the Infi­nite spaces of Space. There is no “begin­ning”, there is no “end”, there is the ONE and the Many. There is Cre­ation, there is Being and Becom­ing and your Jour­ney in Spir­it that is everlasting.

You and you and you too, and all that is around you, all of this IS because sim­ply and pure­ly Spir­it desired to Be, to grow and become as you do too. Your Avatar of this Pri­mal Force, at least while you sojourn here on Earth, is that burn­ing bright red “Star” glow­ing in the heav­ens of late. It is Mars of course, whose posi­tion just beyond your Earth places him between you and the Infini­ties that lie “out there” in the vast­ness that is a full­ness called Space.

Today the Sun, your Avatar of Self, of all that you can and will become stands oppo­site to your Desire. There is the Sun on one side, and Mars on the oth­er, with you there on Earth between them both. Today you are asked to see step back for a moment and con­sid­er, “Where am I going? Why am I going there? And, and is this the way to get me there?” You need to ask your­self, what is your Desire, what is your Inten­tion, what are you Aim­ing for and How to pro­pose to get there?

To answer any or all of these ques­tions, you must first know this…Where are you com­ing from? What is behind this urge that pro­pels you for­ward, that makes you reach for some­thing more, for some­thing high­er, greater…what is it that makes you Desire to become some­thing more?

The Sun, your High­er Self, has the answer. It is your nature, it is because you are a Spark of the Divine and your Des­tiny is to take part in this nev­er-end­ing sto­ry, this Song of Cre­ation, and you will become so much more than you can even imag­ine. But at moments such as this you are asked to pause, to look back at where you have come from, to con­sid­er how you got this far, to see what you did to ful­fill your desire, and to look out ahead at that far, far hori­zon and remem­ber and under­stand as best as you can at this stage of your unfold­ment, what it is all about.

If you do, if you lis­ten to your heart, if you can catch those whis­pers from your soul, you will also know that it is not about the des­ti­na­tion, it is about the jour­ney. That it mat­ters why you do this, it mat­ters how you get there, for these thoughts, feel­ings and actions will become what you will be. And not mere­ly for you, for every­thing, every mote and speck, every being and plan­et, star and Galaxy…it is all part of the One Life. And what you do with or to the least of these, you do unto yourself…For that is the Law.

The Sun, your High­er Self, illu­mi­nates Mars your Avatar of Desire and Action. Mars shines brighter now than ever, burn­ing now in the Sign of Libra, the Sign of Beau­ty, of Jus­tice of Fair­ness for one and for all. This is your where you come from, this is how you will act in the Now, and this in the end is what you will be and Cre­ate. You and yours are here to strive for Equal­i­ty, to act Just­ly and restore the Beau­ty to your world.

As I wrote in the New Moon for Aries, the mes­sage that the Sun elic­its now from Mars is this:

“From Mars in Libra you are to Act to restore Beau­ty and Justice.”

As the Sun, your star, sets in the west tonight,

Turn and look to the east­ern horizon.

See him ris­ing there, that shin­ing red one.

There is your Heart’s Desire.

He is here for Righteousness,

He is here for Justice,

He is there to show you,

The Way back to Beauty,

Found in how you walk the pathway,

As you jour­ney to the Stars.

Time to leave that Watery Realm of Feeling-Thinking…

Where swirling won­ders swept through your soul,

Stir­ring your Imag­i­na­tion, mod­u­lat­ing your Dreams…

Where worlds with­in worlds came and went,

Reveal­ing to you Mul­ti­plic­i­ties and Mysteries,

Resolv­ing, dis­solv­ing into Infi­nite dimensions,

Your one­ness with­in the One. 

Your Avatar of Mind, who links you from your Inmost Spark of the Divine through all of your vehi­cles or souls, and then out­wards to all of the oth­er count­less life-forms with whom you trav­el, your medi­a­tor of mind-stuff is shift­ing once again.

Mer­cury, known as the Mes­sen­ger of the Gods, weaves togeth­er all these many realms and forms through which you trav­el by the Ener­gy you know as Thought or Con­scious­ness. Mer­cury has been mov­ing back and forth between the last two realms of Air and Water, (between Aquar­ius and Pisces), for about three months now. Con­sid­er­ing that on aver­age he is usu­al­ly in an Ele­ment and Sign for about two to three weeks, you have had quite a long sojourn between these two of late, and you are most cer­tain­ly in need of this change of per­spec­tive and sensibility!

Today Mer­cury moves into the Orig­i­nal Space of your mind…he brings you back once again to where this Jour­ney of Spir­it and the Jour­ney of Mind will always begin, back to the Sign of Aries.

In your own life and in your own chart, your posi­tion of Mer­cury will always pro­vide you with the indi­ca­tions as regards your own men­tal dis­po­si­tion and apti­tude. To do your part and ful­fill your des­tiny, you must under­stand what is the Mind­ful Way you are here to live by, to mas­ter this Song of your own true Life, and play your part in the Mind of the One. 

The move­ment of Mer­cury through the Zodi­ac, in what I call the “Chart of the Now”, does offer you a won­der­ful twelve­fold elic­i­ta­tion of the full­ness of Con­scious­ness and Aware­ness which you will some­day mas­ter. As Mer­cury moves through the twelve signs, you can and should bend your own under­stand­ing to this shift in sen­si­bil­i­ty, and seek as much as you can to learn from and so to view your world through anoth­er facet or lens of illumination.

Aries is the Sign of your Pres­ence, of your Atti­tude and Demeanor, and so it brings to you the Aware­ness of this most crit­i­cal and impor­tant Truth, “First Things First!” For it is how you begin any­thing, how you enter a space or turn a cor­ner, how you start a project or begin a rela­tion­ship, that when­ev­er you release a feel­ing, thought, action or any­thing whatsoever…you changed your world, and you changed your future. For this is the Law: what­ev­er you release from your­self, that is what is com­ing back to you someday.

How you lean into or Ini­ti­ate any­thing what­so­ev­er, that is the most impor­tant thing to be aware of, for it is from this first release of ener­gy, it is from this that all else will fol­low. Mer­cury is now singing to you of this melody in the Song of Spir­it, that “right now” is what mat­ters most, it is tru­ly the one thing that you can and need to con­trol. You need to be Mind­ful of your atti­tude and actions.

Keep your­self atten­tive to what you are doing, always. Remem­ber, that you need to be most atten­tive to your Inten­tion, for it will shape and guide what­ev­er it is that you release. To bring about right results, you must hold your­self with a Focused Inten­tion, and remem­ber to be what are here to learn, Be Mindful.

For it is from Right Think­ing that you are able to pro­ceed into Right Action. And this is most cer­tain­ly a time for that! For though Mer­cury will only be in Aries for a lit­tle more than two weeks, you will do well to bend your own sen­si­bil­i­ty to this first of the Fire Rays.

You need this now so that you will also be pre­pared to stay present and mind­ful as you enter into the great align­ments of this month. For just like the Sun before, Mer­cury too will light up each cor­ner of the Grand Car­di­nal Cross between April 14–16.

It is time to leave those Waters of Remembrance,

and bend your Atten­tion to what is before you now.

A Time of Fire is again at hand…

New Begin­nings, a fresh start.

The only Time that matters,

Your Pres­ence in the Present,

Mind­ful­ly.

Love

It is, in the end, your only story…

The Sto­ry of Love.

Venus comes home…

To her sweet­er space.

And you will find,

That there is no greater Beauty,

There is no fin­er Peace, and

That there is no deep­er Love,

Than what you will see, feel and share here,

In this Max­i­ma Amor.

For in this heart of your Heart,

Found in the Well of Souls,

The Cycle is done.

You are at the Gate­way once more,

Har­vest Time, Sow­ing Time…

As your Spi­ral Jour­ney con­tin­ues, in

The Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones.

Venus is your Avatar of Val­ue, Beau­ty and Love. She, just like you, moves through this Cir­cle of Life, the Zodi­ac, and so mod­u­lates her mean­ings and sen­si­bil­i­ties for you as she trav­els through the realms of Fire, Earth, Air and Water.

Like all of the “Wan­der­ing Stars”, Venus reveals her sto­ry, which is your sto­ry of Beau­ty and Love too. For it is in these Twelve Lessons of Life and Mean­ing, it is here that you will find the Peace that you seek, the food for your Soul, the Man­na from Heav­en. It is here in what sur­rounds you, in the Waters of Life, that you will find your Heart and Peace, for it was always here in the sacred Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones.

Though you will in any life have your own Venus locat­ed in a cer­tain Sign, and you are in that life­time to find ful­fill­ment by bring­ing that par­tic­u­lar expres­sion of Aes­thet­ic and Social mean­ing to all that you are and do, you actu­al­ly have all the signs present with­in you, just in won­drous­ly vary­ing ways and combinations.

So all of these sto­ries, all of the mes­sages and mean­ings of the plan­ets in each and every sign are pre­cious and potent guides for you. For as you seek to become a more ful­filled per­son, as you seek to move clos­er to your one true goal of becom­ing an Enlight­ened or Awak­ened Human Being, you need to learn all these Songs of Spir­it to become what you are meant to be.

For the next three weeks you will cer­tain­ly expe­ri­ence a spe­cial benef­ic gift as Venus swings through the last Sign of the Zodi­ac. For though each sign is Spe­cial, Com­plete and Per­fect in its own way, there is some­thing even more spe­cial when you come to the end of any sto­ry. It is here that you are asked to use your won­der­ful sen­si­bil­i­ties to look back upon your life, to per­ceive and under­stand the whole of the Sto­ry that you have lived in these past many months.

You will under­stand the Arc of that Sto­ry of Beau­ty and Love, as you review, encom­pass and under­stand the Hopes and the Highs, the Errors and your Lows, and to see it all as bring­ing to you now this most pre­cious gift. That you have a more nuanced and enlight­ened sen­si­bil­i­ty of the mean­ing of each part of your sto­ry that could only come into the clear­est focus when seen in this whole­ness or One­ness found at the End. That you would not, could not have had this Know­ing-Feel­ing unless you had gone through all of it, through thick and thin, through High and Low, for it is how you come to move beyond mere Under­stand­ing. This is how you with Grace move into Wis­dom and Com­pas­sion and the Purest Love. This is the offer­ing now, this is what you will have if you will but take some time and bend your­self to the won­drous ways that are offered by Venus in Pisces. 

For if you do, you will remem­ber and appre­ci­ate all of these Cre­ative and Lov­ing ways that you were, are, and are yet to be. You will leap to the Enthu­si­asm of Aries, delight in the Curiosi­ties of Gem­i­ni, feel the warmth in the Car­ing of Can­cer, the depths of Pas­sion in Scor­pio, you will Hon­or the Duty that is Capri­corn, and smile at the Accep­tance of Aquarius…you will see all of your Cre­ations and Loves through each of these Twelve Rays of Light, and you will know that they are all good, they are all of you, and that you are in your heart of hearts Love. You will smile, and laugh and know this: that you are Loved beyond any mea­sure, that the whole point, the whole jour­ney is this: it was, is and will always be about Love.

Venus, the Light-Bear­er is Singing her last song…

Of Grace and Beau­ty, of Kind­ness and Love…

There is no-thing beyond this,

For Love is the One, present in one and all.

There is no Reli­gion high­er than Truth,

There is no Truth high­er than this,

Just Love.

The Four Sta­tions of the Car­di­nal Cross.

There you will find a way,

A way through and back to the center,

A way to remem­ber and live with what is sacred.

This is your awakening,

Your fate, as always,

in your hands.

You will Square the Cir­cle and be steadfast.

Being whole and com­plete, behold­en to Spir­it only,

Cen­tered in Truth and Will, by Action and through Love,

You will be a bea­con in the Dark­ness, for

You are here to help one anoth­er find your way…home.

Today the Sun aligns with Plu­to, and the Keep­er of the North­ern Gate is call­ing to you. This is the Third Sta­tion of Four, and after today you will need to pause and wait upon the final pass of the Sun through this Car­di­nal Cross when he aligns with Mars on Tuesday.

The Sun is your link to the Cen­ter of the Galaxy, it is your ever-renew­ing source for the lit­er­al­ly Cos­mic ener­gies that flow in, through and around you. The Sun is the out­ward source that brings the Love, Light and Life of the Divine into your lit­tle home cor­ner of this Cos­mos. Yet what is at the core of this most Lumi­nous Being is also at the core of you too. For every speck and mote, every ani­mal and human, every plan­et, star and galaxy, every form of Ener­gy-Mat­ter is the same…for “as above so below”. Every­thing has at its core the same pre­cious spark of the Divine as its foun­tain-source of Spir­it and link to the Divine. This is why all of life is One Life, all of Cre­ation is held as one Great Life by the Love of the Divine, for there is only One who is there at the core of every sin­gle space in all the spaces of Space.

The heart of each of the innu­mer­able life-forms that fill the spaces of Space is a con­scious­ness-cen­ter or Mon­ad. Each Mon­ad or Spark of the Divine is unfold­ing its poten­tial in its jour­ney through Time and Space, slow­ly but sure­ly mov­ing through its many lives, forms and worlds as it dis­cov­ers its nature and becomes ever more con­scious and aware. This Mon­ad or Spark is formed by the three Divine Prin­ci­ples: the Mind of God, the Love of God and the Will of God, which in your Solar Sys­tem are rep­re­sent­ed in their out­ward form by their Avatars, which are Uranus, Nep­tune and Plu­to. It is by and through these three that the High­est Part of you resides in “Heav­en”, where you are a com­plete Spir­i­tu­al Being: A Mind that is Free (Uranus), a Love that is Uncon­di­tion­al (Nep­tune) and a Will that is focused and Cen­tered (Plu­to).

Today you must pause and con­sid­er the third in this Trin­i­ty of Spir­it. Plu­to is the Lord of Will and Sacred Space, and you are here to learn this Inte­gral Truth: That you must strive to estab­lish your own space of self-real­iza­tion while you equal­ly learn that this means you must hon­or and respect the spaces of all oth­er life-forms with whom you jour­ney too. For you and they share in the One Mind, the One Love and the One Will of the Divine. Your Sacred Space depends upon every Spark of the Divine being secure with­in their own space of self too.

Your por­tion of space is defined and held by your Will, for you need your sacred space as your own Field of Man­i­fes­ta­tion, your own par­tic­u­lar Can­vas of Cre­ation. By your Will you deter­mine and define your Space as your own sacred ground. But you will of neces­si­ty encounter the many sacred spaces of all these oth­ers as you do so, for all of Space is filled with the Sacred spaces of oth­ers. For you to Mas­ter your­self, to have Self-Con­trol and Self-Deter­mi­na­tion, means that you must learn this Inte­gral Les­son, that your Sacred Space depends upon you hav­ing the respect for and hon­or­ing the Sacred Space of all oth­ers too…For the Law is the Law, “thou shall not trespass”.

As you encounter one anoth­er, as your spaces “meet”, you must learn how to join togeth­er as “you will it to be so”, by form­ing shared spaces of the sacred. You may not, you can­not “take” the space of anoth­er, nor should you allow anoth­er to “take” your space. But you will and must learn how to join with one anoth­er and cre­ate these share sacred spaces where­in you will trans­form your­self and the other.

For in this Pow­er of the Will, when you are cen­tered in your­self and hold the oth­er with right regard in their space, and you agree to com­bine with one anoth­er to cre­ate the “Sacred Space of the We”, well that is where the “mag­ic” will hap­pen. That is how you grow beyond your­self by leaps and bounds, that is how you renew, restore, rebuild, regen­er­ate and trans­form your­selves and move from one lev­el of being to the next. For when two or more are gath­ered togeth­er, unit­ed in a com­mon pur­pose and guid­ed by spir­i­tu­al integrity…that is when you become the Co-Cre­ators of Cre­ation you are des­tined to be.

The Sun align­ing with Plu­to reminds you that your own Self-Real­iza­tion and Ful­fill­ment, your own Can­vas of Cre­ation, is part of a greater Sacred Space that you are here to forge and grow with one anoth­er. Your Respon­si­bil­i­ty is to Ful­fill your­self, to become a Self-Con­scious Co-Cre­ator of this Creation.

As I wrote in the New Moon for Aries, the mes­sage that the Sun elic­its now from Plu­to is:

“From Plu­to in Capri­corn you are to Ful­fill your Respon­si­bil­i­ty and Be what you Are.”

The Third Sta­tion of the Cross is call­ing to you now:

With a Free Mind,

Guid­ed by Uncon­di­tion­al Love,

And Focused through a Cen­tered Will,

You will heal your­self and one another.

You will make a New Earth together,

By hold­ing all the Sacred Cen­ters as they are,

Togeth­er in the One.
