Jupiter Enters Scorpio – The Way of Truth

Jupiter is the Avatar of your Truth. In your birth chart, it pro­vides an indi­ca­tor as to the way in which you will work towards what is known as the “greater under­stand­ing”; it illu­mi­nates the path of Truth you are to fol­low in any life.

By rul­ing what is true for you, what gives mean­ing and mean­ing­ful­ness to your life, Jupiter also indi­cates how you will relate to the larg­er world around you. By hold­ing and shap­ing your moti­va­tions or your inten­tion­al nature, Jupiter helps you to find and fol­low your path of Self-Fulfillment.

Jupiter will move through the 12 signs of the Zodi­ac in rough­ly 12 years. Though your own place­ment of Jupiter in a sign indi­cates how your will find your way in gen­er­al, it is also true that you need to inte­grate your own way of truth and being with the oth­er 11 ways too. You are here to learn to mas­ter all these ener­gies so that you may become ful­ly human.

Every year, if you open your under­stand­ing to a more com­pre­hen­sive and inclu­sive approach, you can devel­op a more inte­gral, nuanced and spir­i­tu­al­ly pur­pose­ful way of being. By mod­u­lat­ing your own way with that of the cur­rent place­ment of Jupiter, you lift your own under­stand­ing into the Greater Under­stand­ing that is your destiny.

But there is per­haps no greater les­son or gift than the pas­sage of Jupiter, (or any plan­e­tary body), through the sign of Scor­pio. Because of all the mys­ter­ies and truths you will encounter in this life, or in any life, it is this one that stands at the cen­ter of them all.

It is here that you meet “The Great Illu­sion” that is formed by you being an “I”, a sep­a­rate self-con­scious­ness of being, so that your very nature clear­ly seems to cre­ate an unbridge­able divide between you and every oth­er being.

For you have for­got­ten your truth: Long, long ago, you left from the One Spir­it as a mon­ad of con­scious­ness, to become anoth­er sparkling dew­drop among count­less oth­ers who in their pere­gri­na­tions through Space-Time form the Body of the One. Yet this seem­ing sev­er­ance or sep­a­ra­tion from the One brings about nev­er-end­ing pain and con­fu­sion, and it forms the soul­ful aching, the eter­nal long­ing for your return to the envelop­ing Peace and Love that is the One.

You seek to become unit­ed again and so become whole once more. You seek to shat­ter your alone­ness, and by reach­ing out to your fel­low sparks of the Divine you hope to feel this joy again, to be brought into the grace of peace, love and under­stand­ing that is of the One.

But what you will find, in life after life, is that this expe­ri­ence of reach­ing out to one anoth­er, of form­ing Unions of Sacred Space you share with one anoth­er, and of neces­si­ty mak­ing sac­ri­fices for and to one anoth­er, that it is pre­cise­ly here where you learn that by this giv­ing up the less­er in your­self you dis­cov­er the great­ness that is always and for­ev­er in them and in you too.

The mys­tery that is Union, the sub­lime mys­tery and gift of Scor­pio, reveals this Ker­nel of Ancient Wis­dom and Truth to you: That as you sur­ren­der the less­er parts of you to one anoth­er, as you draw clos­er to them and them to you, you are brought into the pres­ence of your own truer Self. You reach beyond your mor­tal frame and touch the Divine with­in and around you.

You come clos­er to the essence of you as you feel your way to the under­stand­ing that the One that you for­ev­er seek was (and will always be) there, right there as the very cen­ter of you…and of every­one else too. The Great Illu­sion is your feel­ing of sep­a­ra­tion; The Great Truth is that you are nev­er alone, you are not and can­not be sep­a­rat­ed from the One or from one anoth­er, for what you are and what sus­tains you through world after world, and in life after life, is the Love of the One that is you, and this equal­ly forms the Ocean of Cre­ation in which you and all the sparks of the Divine abide.

As much as Jupiter in Libra brought you into the Space of the Encounter with one anoth­er, and that Truth informed the Third Space that is Rela­tion­ship, it is here in Scor­pio that you lift the Veil of Isis and you must bow your head to the Gift of the Spirit.

You do this for one anoth­er as you join in com­mu­nion with each oth­er, for you have bro­ken the bonds of the great­est illu­sion; now you know, now you feel the truth that you are That. You know you are here in this mor­tal shell that brings you from such awful pain into the most unimag­in­able joy; you know that you are an Immor­tal danc­ing through worlds and lives as you draw ever clos­er to the one before you, and the one with­in you and to the One that is All.

You say the words to yourself:

I am That, I am.

You look upon one anoth­er and say:

Namaste.

You are one with one anoth­er, and with the One.

(Saturday October 14, 2017 @ 2 pm EDT)

Jupiter Enters Scorpio – The Way of Truth (October 10^th, 2017 — November 8^th, 2018)

Today’s show will con­sid­er the sig­nif­i­cance of Jupiter mov­ing from sign to sign, with a par­tic­u­lar focus upon the shift from Libra to Scor­pio which occurred on Octo­ber 10^th, 2017.

Jupiter is the Avatar of your Truth. In your birth chart, it pro­vides an indi­ca­tor as to the way in which you will work towards the “greater under­stand­ing”; it illu­mi­nates the path of Truth you are to fol­low in any life.

By rul­ing what is true for you, what gives mean­ing and mean­ing­ful­ness to your life, Jupiter also indi­cates how you will relate to the larg­er world around you. By hold­ing and shap­ing your moti­va­tions or your inten­tion­al nature, Jupiter helps you to find and fol­low your path of Self-Fulfillment.

Jupiter will move through the 12 signs of the Zodi­ac in rough­ly 12 years. Though your own place­ment of Jupiter in a sign indi­cates how your will find your way in gen­er­al, it is also true that you need to inte­grate your own way of truth and being with the oth­er 11 ways too.

Every year, if you open your under­stand­ing to a more com­pre­hen­sive and inclu­sive approach, you can devel­op a more inte­gral, nuanced and spir­i­tu­al­ly pur­pose­ful way of being. By mod­u­lat­ing your own way with that of the cur­rent place­ment of Jupiter, you lift your own under­stand­ing into the Greater Under­stand­ing that is your destiny.

As before, I will answer your ques­tions dur­ing the show, whether on this sub­ject 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.

The Gift of Companionship, The Way of I and Thou

Life is Spir­it; Spir­it is Life.

At the core of any par­ti­cle of Cre­ation, there abides Light and Love, there at the cen­ter of every­thing and every­one there is the Spark of the Divine.

This dew­drop of divin­i­ty is Pure Con­scious­ness; it is a Dia­mond Body of True Love.

Each Mon­ad of the Divine exists in its own Sacred Space, which over time is formed more per­fect­ly into the liv­ing abode of a Self-Aware Cos­mic Con­scious­ness, which is guid­ed and informed by Uncon­di­tion­al Love and held in its Sacred Space as a unique “one of the One” by its Spir­i­tu­al­ly Cen­tered Will.

This is what forms the entire­ty of Cre­ation, rang­ing from the infin­i­tes­i­mals of inner space on up to the Galac­tic Con­scious­ness­es that encom­pass a celes­tial host of Stars, Plan­ets and Life-Forms.

And This is what you are too, a pre­cious dew-drop of Spir­it who is slow­ly but sure­ly becom­ing self-aware, draw­ing clos­er and clos­er to your own true nature: that you are a Divin­i­ty that is learn­ing to be a Con­scious Co-Cre­ator of this Uni­verse; to be a Lov­ing Cre­ator who is Wise and Hum­ble too.

This Jour­ney of Spir­it, this Path­way of Light and Love, is the Jour­ney of Awak­en­ing that is forged and made by you and by your com­pan­ions too. You could nev­er be what you are, “a self-becom­ing human”, with­out one anoth­er. A sin­gu­lar, uncon­nect­ed, unre­lat­ed human is just not even pos­si­ble, it would quite sim­ply not be “human” at all.

For you are tru­ly made of and by one anoth­er. In world after world, in life after life, you are formed by all with whom you have direct and indi­rect inter­re­la­tion­ships. You are formed by your par­ents, by your sib­lings and friends, class­mates and col­leagues, by your loves of for­mer lives and in the eter­nal now too, so that all your broth­ers and sis­ters in Spir­it are there with you, and you in them too. Your Thoughts-Val­ues-Morals, and the Love that holds them all, the essen­tial ele­ments of you, are all shaped by the count­less encoun­ters you have with one anoth­er. You are your rela­tions; you are an “I” and a “host of we”; and it is out of these many that you become the one that is you.

We are all “Mixed-up”; each of you is in so many oth­ers, and so many, many oth­ers are what makes you what you are too. That is why this next expe­ri­ence in the Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones, the Twelve-Fold ener­gy forms that hold this Uni­verse togeth­er, is so impor­tant for you to under­stand and mas­ter. For in truth, you are made of all Twelve Signs, just in dif­fer­ing pro­por­tions and com­bi­na­tions. If you are to know your­self and become what you tru­ly are meant to be, then you must embrace some part of each sign as an essen­tial part of you.

Today you move into the realm of Libra; Today you meet with one anoth­er in that most Sacred Space of I and Thou; Today you enter the Mys­tery, where you will meet and make your­self through one anoth­er in the “third space” that is Relationship.

After the attune­ments, align­ments, adjust­ments and heal­ing of Vir­go, you are ready for this. You have done your home­work, you have won greater self-mas­tery through crit­i­cal self-exam­i­na­tion, and you are now more tru­ly you, and you are more at peace.

Now you see before you the Truth of Spir­it; that you can only become who you real­ly are when you are with one anoth­er. You gaze into the eyes of the one before you, and what is shin­ing back from those win­dows of the soul is so famil­iar. It is the same or essen­tial “aware­ness or pres­ence” that is there with­in you too. It is the One, it is the Love of the One for all the ones that comes shin­ing through each of you.

In any rela­tion­ship, there are three “spaces”. You exist in your own sacred space; and the oth­er before you, they are in their own sacred space too. Nei­ther of you may or should tres­pass upon the oth­er, nei­ther of you should lose your­self in the oth­er. But togeth­er you can build this “Third Space” of We, the space you make togeth­er. This is the play­ground of your “self that is becom­ing”; this is your space of self-trans­for­ma­tion and self-ful­fill­ment by and through one another.

It is here that you learn, work and play; here is where each of you become as you live for your­self and for one anoth­er too. By mov­ing into rela­tion­ship, you move into greater self-aware­ness through your dance of spir­it with one anoth­er. You can­not mere­ly do what you want with­out care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion for them too. You form a space of mutu­al ben­e­fit by at first uncon­scious­ly, and then ever more con­scious­ly, cre­at­ing a frame­work to guide, sup­port and pro­tect your inter­ac­tions with one anoth­er. Each of your own indi­vid­ual self-ful­fill­ments depends upon the ful­fill­ment of the oth­er. You expe­ri­ence the liv­ing real­i­ty that their dreams com­ing true are the very sub­stance of your dreams made real too.

Yes, it is here in Libra that you expe­ri­ence the Quick­en­ing of your Spir­it; it is here that you lift one anoth­er up into the Greater Aware­ness that is forged and found­ed by being part of one anoth­er, cre­at­ing one anoth­er by Love.

You need one anoth­er to be yourself.

You look back to your ances­tors, and under­stand how much you owe to those who came before.

And, you look around your­self and real­ize how much you need those with whom you jour­ney now.

You are one, and you are many.

Bow your head; Open your heart.

Smile at the one who is before you.

Know that you are one and the same,

Namaste.

You have been wait­ing for this. Mer­cury has been “slow­ing down” for a few days now, and it begins mov­ing for­ward once again today. It was ret­ro­grad­ing from August 12^th until now, but it will take a lit­tle while to get back to its reg­u­lar motion. You may expe­ri­ence or observe that your per­son­al thought-forms and exter­nal com­mu­ni­ca­tions may not com­plete­ly nor­mal­ize until Mer­cury leaves its ret­ro­grade zone on Sep­tem­ber 19^th.

The past three weeks would have been best spent in qui­et reflec­tion, con­tem­pla­tion and self-cor­rec­tion. But of course, in our mod­ern world life goes on, and hav­ing that kind of oppor­tu­ni­ty is rare indeed. Hope­ful­ly, you did find some time each day to bend your thoughts back upon your­self, and you were able to clear away some of the accu­mu­la­tions of mis­ap­pre­hen­sion, incon­sis­ten­cy and con­fu­sion that often cloud your consciousness.

Now, it is time to apply this clear­ing of your thought-forms to the world around you. While most of this ret­ro­grade was in Vir­go, Mer­cury is turn­ing direct in the sign of Leo. That brings the focus of your mind (and dis­pos­es oth­ers like­wise) to be most shaped by con­cerns regard­ing Respect, Hon­or and Love. These thought-forms and sen­si­bil­i­ties are in everyone’s mind and upon everyone’s tongue. Much like the phys­i­cal weath­er, it is best to be pre­pared for what may come by under­stand­ing what con­di­tions pre­vail at any one time.

You would do well to pause and con­sid­er how to approach any mat­ter with a true con­sid­er­a­tion of the respect you need to show to one anoth­er, always. Cer­tain­ly, you should have a keen appre­ci­a­tion for your own self-regard, which is found­ed upon know­ing who and what you tru­ly are, a self-aware spir­it whose core is formed by spir­i­tu­al love. From this, you should find com­fort and grace in endur­ing and healthy love and respect for your­self. You can stay cen­tered and true, with clear thoughts and inten­tions as you hold your­self with this knowl­edge of your ori­gin and destiny.

But you must equal­ly acknowl­edge, that any per­son who is before you is owed this same con­sid­er­a­tion too. Whether that per­son be friend or stranger, your “mas­ter” or “ser­vant”, that per­son before you is fun­da­men­tal­ly your equal, walk­ing the same path of self-awak­en­ing and self-ful­fill­ment as you. If you want their respect, you must earn that by show­ing them the same respect you wish to receive from them.

Think respect­ful­ly, speak kind­ly and lis­ten atten­tive­ly because it is how you wished to be treat­ed too. If you wish to under­stand one anoth­er, to grow in con­scious­ness which can only be accom­plished by com­min­gling your thoughts with one anoth­er, you must do what­ev­er you can to open your minds to one anoth­er by acknowl­edg­ing the fun­da­men­tal and com­mon val­ue you share; that each of you is a spark of the Divine, and each of you is ulti­mate­ly a lumi­nous being whose true nature is formed by Divine Love.

You have had time to reflect and make amends for wrong­ful thoughts and deeds.

Turn the page in the book of life, and face the promise of bet­ter days.

Your thoughts, words and deeds will forge your future.

Choose wise­ly, act lovingly.

And you will shine.

The Gift of Peace, The Way of Healing

There are Three Lessons in Earth:

In Tau­rus, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Value.

In Vir­go, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Perfection.

In Capri­corn, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Fulfillment.

Today you enter a most spe­cial realm as the Ener­gy-Forms shift from Fire to Earth once more. Each Fire sign of Ide­alisms, Visions and Enthu­si­asms is fol­lowed by this reminder that what mat­ters in the end on this Mor­tal plane is this: “Does your fab­u­lous Vision actu­al­ly work; Did your Per­for­mance elic­it a con­se­quen­tial response and result; Will your Truth align with Reality?”

In Leo, you strove to release from your cen­ter a truer expres­sion of who you are. To the extent you had met and secured your­self in your Cen­ter (in Can­cer), then you were able to let shine the Cre­ativ­i­ty and Love for your­self and for one anoth­er more truly.

But after each per­for­mance, comes the review. The Time of Vir­go, and the place of Vir­go in everyone’s chart, is when and where you must now use your most won­der­ful and nec­es­sary gift for crit­i­cal obser­va­tion, (and crit­i­cal self-obser­va­tion). Because this is how you grow, this is how you become an ever more com­plete human. You learn by tri­al and error, to see what works and what does not, you face the won­der­ful and painful con­se­quences of your pre­vi­ous choic­es and actions for this very rea­son: so that you may lift your­self and one anoth­er up onto a high­er plane of self-under­stand­ing and self-realization.

You do this for your­self, and for one anoth­er too. For the Vir­go path is the Path of Ser­vice. We are here to cre­ate and pro­vide for one anoth­er the very means by which we can remove imper­fec­tions in our­selves and in our works. The time and place of Vir­go brings you to the ful­crum of your self-becoming.

You have come far along the path of self-awak­en­ing/­self-unfold­ment which will lead to your self-mas­tery and ful­fill­ment in your human form. But as you look through the lens of Vir­go at your­self (and observe one anoth­er), you will see revealed the flaws, defi­cien­cies, errors and mis­takes that have made you what you are today. Oh yes, you have abil­i­ty and tal­ent, but you look in that mir­ror of spir­i­tu­al reflection/revelation and see so clear­ly all the work you have before you still.

That is pre­cise­ly the point; this is what Vir­go is for and about. Your present-day strengths, gifts, apti­tudes and tal­ents, where do you think these came from? Do you think a per­son like Mozart just hap­pened? He strug­gled, prob­a­bly through many, many lives to bring him­self to that excep­tion­al state of facil­i­ty and refine­ment that flow­ered into a giant of musi­cal genius.

But actu­al­ly, (and quite often), genius is a curse as much as it is a bless­ing. Because that sin­gu­lar purpose/focus of excep­tion­al qual­i­ties may leave oth­er qual­i­ties lag­ging or absent. Spir­i­tu­al­ly, the true goal of human self-unfold­ment is for you to achieve a dynam­ic and inte­gral bal­ance of Thought with Feel­ing; you are here to weave togeth­er your body, feel­ings, thoughts and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty into a most spe­cial and unique reflec­tion of the Divin­i­ty inside us all.

But often we will com­pare our­selves to these “great ones”, espe­cial­ly those who did secure that greater mea­sure of all their fac­ul­ties shin­ing and true. We look to the exam­ples of Krish­na, Bud­dha and Jesus, or in our age to some­one like the Dali Lama or Amma, and say “who I am com­pared to them, look how lit­tle I have, how flawed I am in comparison.”

But take com­fort, they were once like you too. They strug­gled and strove to make their way into the Light of the Greater Under­stand­ing. And most of them, the great­est of them indeed stopped right there, at the por­tal to the beyond. They were “done”, they had fin­ished their Earth­ly path of Human Awak­en­ing, they had reached their Apotheosis.

They could have con­tin­ued on their jour­ney on their own, for there are worlds and won­ders beck­on­ing, and there is no end to the realms of Love, Light and Beau­ty. But they knew, because they under­stood that this is not “the way”.

And so, they turn in Free­dom and Love, because it is not about “I” in the end, and know­ing what they did, there real­ly is no oth­er way. They stand and wait upon you, and they will wait with love, kind­ness and com­pas­sion for each of us to make our way. The door will be held open, a can­dle will light the way, and you will be wel­comed home on some joy­ful day.

For now, and in every life, you will strive for ever greater self-mas­tery. You will be guid­ed by those who extend them­selves in lov­ing ser­vice to you, shar­ing their wis­dom, lift­ing you up when you are weary, heal­ing your body, heart and mind. As they share their expe­ri­ences and knowl­edge with you, as they tell you their sto­ries, you will hear your future echoed in their Mas­tery now.

And, as you turn, as you must because you know, you will extend your­self to those who need that kind­ly, com­pas­sion­ate assis­tance from you. You are part of an end­less Hier­ar­chy of Light and Love, and we are all here to Serve one anoth­er, to care for one anoth­er, to help one anoth­er to be bet­ter than we were, as we move togeth­er, ever clos­er to the cross­ing point into the Greater Light.

That is why Vir­go holds the Path of Per­fec­tion, because we are all mov­ing towards that sub­lime moment when we become all that we can pos­si­bly be. Yet do not be blind­ed by this goal of “per­fec­tion” as being per­fect! There is no such state!! There is no final con­di­tion or des­ti­na­tion for Spir­it or for you.

All you can be, at any point in your jour­ney, is more com­plete, a more won­der­ful­ly bal­anced, inte­gral­ly whole shin­ing star of love and light. You will find by this the great­est trea­sure that is sought by one and all, you will find your­self in a state of Grace, and you will meet your high­er self in your place of Peace.

For this is the great Gift and Promise of Vir­go. This Path of Per­fec­tion, which is found by this cir­cuitous jour­ney marked by Suf­fer­ing and Heal­ing, you will find that in the end you are beau­ti­ful, and you are loved and lov­ing too.

You fol­low the path, that Truth is Love, and for all your days you will be at Peace as you walk in the Way of Beauty.

You will sing and you will shine, join hands and say to one anoth­er once more:

As I walk, as I walk

The Uni­verse is walk­ing with me

In beau­ty, it walks before me

In beau­ty, it walks behind me

In beau­ty, it walks below me

In beau­ty, it walks above me

Beau­ty is on every side

Sur­round­ed by Beauty

Liv­ing in Beauty

Lov­ing in Beauty

May you walk in Beauty

May you live in Beauty

For all your days

May you be at Peace

Sur­round­ed by Beauty

It is done.
