This is the final of three beau­ti­ful align­ments of Jupiter with Sat­urn, and was men­tioned in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2014:

Jupiter Trine Sat­urn (May 24) *also July 17, 2013 and Decem­ber 12, 2013 This is the third and last trine of Jupiter to Sat­urn until August 2026, bet­ter make the most of this one! The first align­ment was in July 2013 and the sec­ond was in Decem­ber 2013. When the Avatar of your Prin­ci­ples makes this beau­ti­ful align­ment with the Avatar of your Real­i­ty, then you have arrived at what is known as “the sweet spot” of your unfold­ment. You can have a most won­der­ful expe­ri­ence, a bal­ance is found between your Opti­mism and Prag­ma­tism, between your Prin­ci­ples and your Reality.

Jupiter is the Avatar of your Prin­ci­ples and Truths, of what forms your inten­tions, guides your con­duct and leads you out­wards into your ever-expand­ing expe­ri­ence of your­self in the world. For it is by what you believe to be true that you inform and give life to the real­i­ties of your world, and Jupiter rules this stream­ing forth of your Self-Expan­sion­ary energies.

Sat­urn is the Avatar of your Real­i­ty, and forms the present-day, tan­gi­ble man­i­fes­ta­tion of your Infi­nite poten­tial. It is both your well-earned, mate­ri­al­ized self-ful­fill­ment of your dreams, and yet it is also the painful reminder of your self-lim­i­ta­tions too. Though it is true that you can and will become what­ev­er you dream and imag­ine some­day, (per­haps much more than you are able to imag­ine now), you can only be some-thing and not every­thing at any one time in your journey…you must lim­it your­self to ful­fill your­self, you must “fall” before you can rise. Sat­urn rules this neces­si­ty of Spir­it mov­ing through Forms and Limitations.

But twice in 20 years, (which is the cyclic peri­od between Jupiter and Sat­urn meet­ing in their “new Moon”, as when they made their last con­junc­tion in 2000, and as they will make the next in 2020), Jupiter and Sat­urn will reach this par­tic­u­lar moment of bal­ance and beau­ty. It is here that you will find that the Jupi­ter­ian ener­gies of Growth are bent and focused through this most felic­i­tous, effi­cient and ele­gant of caress­es by the shap­ing lens that is Saturn.

For it is often true that you will find your­self at oth­er moments where­in these two plan­ets will get beyond this beau­ti­ful bal­ance. (But know this, irre­spec­tive of what is hap­pen­ing “out there”, you are here to learn how to grow with grace no mat­ter what, that you are here to mas­ter your­self, and when you have done this, you will be a Wise One, who knows and fol­lows the “weav­ing way”, and you will ever keep to the noble, mid­dle path that is there between Growth and Restraint).

But until then, there will be times where your faith, opti­mism and con­fi­dence will lead to a cross­ing beyond what is rea­son­able and wor­thy of you. You will stretch too far, reach over­much and fall into the error of excess and waste. And, it is also true that you will come to moments in your long jour­ney, and being worn and bat­tered by the tri­als and tribu­la­tions of your life that you look through eyes that are wea­ried and worn, and then you will fail to see the oppor­tu­ni­ties that are right before you, you will miss the gifts that your pri­or efforts brought to you, because you are blind­ed by your anx­i­eties, doubts and fears.

Yes, you need to savor this moment. Here is when Faith and Oppor­tu­ni­ty have come togeth­er, this is when you are in the “sweet spot”, and your rea­son­able efforts will be well reward­ed, your dreams may come true, and the world be a sweet­er place for you.

Yes, remem­ber this moment…

Where your belief in some­thing better…

Found the promise would be kept.

But then take from this time…

The deep­er wis­dom of this Knowing-Feeling…

That this is the Way it is meant to be.

This is the Way it will always be,

When you reach the cross­ing point,

When you pass the Por­tal of Wisdom,

When you move out of the Darkness,

And into The Light.

Get Ready…

Get Set…

Go!

I wrote of this turn­ing of spir­i­tu­al ener­gy in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2014:

Mars Direct (May 19 until April 17, 2016)

The Avatar of Desire moves for­ward again until April 2016. Now that you have had your 80 days to recon­sid­er your Aims and Actions, it is time to move for­ward again. But remem­ber to fol­low the Noble Path of con­scious inten­tion, for what you must under­stand is that you are the mak­er of your real­i­ty, Right Think­ing leads to Right Action!

Mars, who is the Avatar of your desires is mov­ing for­ward. Since March 1st you have had an oppor­tu­ni­ty to ques­tion your Aims and Inten­tions, you have reviewed your Means and Meth­ods and you should now be pre­pared for what may come by your Self-mak­ing of you.

You will often find that your way is beset by dif­fi­cul­ties, that your path is blocked by cir­cum­stances that you see arrayed all around you, and so it is quite under­stand­able that you will expe­ri­ence them as exter­nal to your­self. You have come to quite nat­u­ral­ly believe that your dif­fi­cul­ties in the world are “out there”, and the solu­tion to your tri­als and tribu­la­tions must be found by chang­ing what is exter­nal to you. But you are Spir­it, you are in the end an Immor­tal, and you are here to learn to use your Super­nal pow­ers wise­ly, and that there is only one strug­gle that you can and must win as Spir­it, there is only one con­quest that you must mas­ter, you must Mas­ter yourself.

You have always been on the path of the Spir­i­tu­al War­rior, for you are here to under­stand that the true and only strug­gle you will wage on Earth is with­in your­self. You are here to learn and grow, and it is by your own efforts that you will lift your Self-Aware­ness out of the dark­ness and into the Light of Spir­i­tu­al Integri­ty and Inten­tion. You are here to Become, to remem­ber who and what you are…and that means you are here to learn to love your­self uncon­di­tion­al­ly. And then, hav­ing more mas­tered your­self, you are to turn around and act with, by and through this loving-intention…for you are also here to love one anoth­er as you love your­self too.

Veiled by your vehi­cles of mat­ter that you live through upon the Earth, you can fall into the error of sep­a­ra­tion and denial that these illu­sion­ary bod­ies impart to you. But you are not this body, you are not your vehi­cle, and your high­er self will always call to you with whis­pers of your true nature and des­tiny. You are remind­ed to find your way back to the Light, to stay on the path that will take you near­er to your heart’s desire. You must pierce through these illu­sions of appear­ance, and you must strive to keep your aware­ness cen­tered in the Greater Real­i­ty in which you tru­ly abide as Spir­it, that you are to live as One with one another.

As you go for­ward now, always remem­ber that before you move out­wards you must equal­ly move inwards and con­nect to your source of Light and Love. That as you take anoth­er step ahead you need to remem­ber who you are and fol­low your high­er Inten­tions and Pur­pos­es in even the small­est of actions or activ­i­ties. For every­thing that you do, feel, think and dream of mat­ters in why and how you did them. These Inner Actions of Inten­tion that stand behind your out­er efforts, they all become part of the mak­ing of the real­i­ty that you will one day seem­ing­ly face “out there”…but it is all, of course, the inevitable result of how and why you act­ed as you did, long, long ago.

You are here to learn and grow.

Be a Spir­i­tu­al Warrior…

Act in Serenity,

Strive in Mindfulness,

Achieve your Heart’s Desire,

By the one and only path that is true for you,

Act by Love, Live in Love,

Just Love.

Apotheosis.

The Promise will be kept…

The Hier­ar­chy of Light will not fail…

And, you will nev­er, ever walk alone.

For you are embraced and protected…

By the Wis­dom, Grace and Love

Of the Awak­ened Ones.

Today is the Full Moon for the month of Tau­rus, this is the Full Moon in Scor­pio. It is at this time of the year that cel­e­bra­tions and cer­e­monies are held around the world. This is the Fes­ti­val known as Wesak, this is the Full Moon of the Buddha.

It is held that Sid­dhārtha was born at, achieved enlight­en­ment dur­ing, and final­ly left his mor­tal frame by such a full moon as tonight’s. Today, Seers, Teach­ers and Stu­dents will bow their heads and give thanks and praise to he who was the first to lift him­self out of spir­i­tu­al bondage, to become Self-Awak­ened, to become a tru­ly Self-ful­filled human. This achieve­ment, of human Apoth­e­o­sis, this is the goal of each and every human, and the Bud­dha is the lov­ing, benef­ic bea­con of inspi­ra­tion for one and for all.

Every Full Moon brings a Spir­i­tu­al mes­sage for you, a teach­ing that you need to under­stand and apply in your life as you seek to fol­low the one true path, the Noble Path of Awak­en­ing and Self-Ful­fill­ment. For you are on that path in one form-stage or anoth­er, you are here to grow and even­tu­al­ly become an Illu­mined One too. One day, you will join that com­pa­ny of Light and Love who guide and inspire all who yet sojourn upon this Earth.

The Seed that was plant­ed at the New Moon of Tau­rus two weeks ago now reach­es its moment of revelation…Two Ways, Two Paths and Two Truths of Being stand revealed by the Light of this Full Moon. One is of Tau­rus, the oth­er of Scor­pio. Each with­out the oth­er is real­ly only a half-truth, for each is part of the oth­er, each is inte­gral to the oth­er. The High­er Truth that embraces all of these Truths in the Riv­er of Life, this Cir­cle called the Zodi­ac, is that there is but One Way of Being, there is but One Way, The Path of Inte­gra­tion, the Noble Path of Spir­i­tu­al Integri­ty and Wholeness.

The Great Inte­gral Les­son of Taurus/Scorpio is con­tained in the ever-unfold­ing para­dox­es you encounter as you move from world to world and life to life. For you are an Immor­tal pass­ing through many mor­tal forms, and though each world and each life is pre­cious to you, you are there in that form for a short time in the end. The Bud­dha taught of this, he reit­er­at­ed a fun­da­men­tal truth about the con­sti­tu­tion of this Uni­verse, that most of Cre­ation is formed by com­pos­ites, and all of these are tem­po­rary and ephemer­al. There is noth­ing “per­ma­nent” in these mor­tal realms, and this includes your low­er vehi­cles or bod­ies which you require to dwell upon this Earth.

There is an immor­tal core that moves with you from life to life…but there will nev­er be again the you that you know now. For how could that be, as you might very well return in a vast­ly dif­fer­ent cul­ture, in a far dis­tant time, and most like­ly change your gender…How could you pos­si­bly be the “same”? But the “pres­ence” who is behind who you are, the watch­er who is ever watch­ing, guid­ing and inspir­ing you to your next great­est self-real­iza­tion, the one who is draw­ing you ever clos­er to your even­tu­al Awak­en­ing, that is your High­er Self, that is your Immor­tal Core, and that is who returns again and again and draws togeth­er the var­i­ous pieces of you to begin a New Life, and your Beloved does this with and for you in life after life.

The great les­son of the Bud­dha, is that he demon­strat­ed and spoke of this truth: that you are here to learn to live the weav­ing way of spir­it, to live as an Immor­tal in the these tem­po­ral realms by lead­ing with Love and non-attach­ment. You must move through these realms of Spir­it-Mat­ter, to bring Love and Light into mat­ter and so lift your­self and these forms high­er and high­er. But you must also know and fol­low the path that is formed by your Dia­mond Cen­ter, that you are an Immor­tal, and there is no form, no life and no world that will be your ves­sel forever…for your one and only Spir­i­tu­al imper­a­tive is that you are here to grow. You must move in and out of all these realms, to form into, grow through and release your­self, again and again.

There is a prayer that is offered at such sacred cer­e­monies as will be wit­nessed tonight. It is the Great Invo­ca­tion that in some form or oth­er has been passed down since the first human on Earth became self-aware:

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of light with­in the Mind of God

Let Light stream forth into our minds

Let LIGHT descend on Earth.

From the point of love with­in the Heart of God

Let Love stream forth into our hearts

May LOVE increase on Earth.

From the cen­ter where the Will of God is known

Let pur­pose guide our wills

The PURPOSE which the mas­ters know and serve.

From the cen­ter which we call Humanity

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out

And may it seal the door

where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Pow­er restore the Plan on Earth.

You are a self-lumi­nous spark of the Divine,

A resplen­dent jew­el of Pure Potentiality,

A sin­gu­lar sparkling drop,

In an Ocean of Spir­i­tu­al Wonder.

You are part of a nev­er-end­ing Sto­ry of Unfoldment,

For you are the Self-Becom­ing cre­ator of You,

And a co-cre­ator of these worlds you trav­el through too.

You can and will become any­thing that you can imagine…

That is your Truth, that is your Destiny.

Yet at any one moment in your journey,

You will have to face the many choic­es already made,

That served to make what is real, yet now cir­cum­scribes you too.

Though each Form you take is anoth­er step in your Self-Fulfillment,

Each Life and Body is equal­ly your “fall” into Self-Limitation.

This is “The Para­dox”: You are an Immor­tal in a mor­tal frame, and

You can only grow by Lim­i­ta­tion, by you falling into Matter.

You can only become through being some “Thing” for a time,

Yet, being Immor­tal, you must also let go of that form at the appoint­ed time,

For you must con­tin­ue your jour­ney, as

You have far to trav­el, in this and many, many oth­er realms too.

Your one Spir­i­tu­al imper­a­tive is to grow,

Your one true Des­tiny is Super­nal, and

Your Splen­dor is to be ever revealed in the Divinity,

That shines through in all your lives,

As you Jour­ney through the Stars.

Today you stand between the two Plan­e­taries of your Becoming:

The Sun is your Avatar of Pure Poten­tial, and Sat­urn the Avatar of any Real­i­ty that you have made of you. Their year­ly cycle marks this path of your self-unfold­ing/­self-lim­it­ing jour­ney in your ever­last­ing jour­ney of Self-Becoming.

Six months ago the Sun and Sat­urn met in their con­junc­tion and so began anoth­er cycle of self-unfold­ment for you. Now they have reached their “Full Moon” moment, and you need to pause and con­sid­er, you need to look both Inward and Out­ward. You need to look back from where you have come, and to brave­ly face the here and now. For it is by this that you can then cast your gaze for­wards and so con­sid­er well your inten­tion of how you will strive to draw that much clos­er to your Destiny.

It is time once again to take anoth­er mea­sure of your under­stand­ing of this inte­gral spir­i­tu­al process, that your Self-Ful­fill­ment comes through your Self-Lim­i­ta­tion. You must pour your Infi­nite Poten­tial into ves­sels of Lim­i­ta­tion, for this is how you learn to work and play in all the realms of Spirit-Matter.

Though you will be attached to cer­tain expe­ri­ences of tri­umph and suc­cess, and why would you not, you will learn over time that these are mere­ly your well-deserved rewards for lessons mas­tered long ago. You will find your truer trea­sures come through seem­ing­ly more bit­ter fruits…your errors, mis­takes and fail­ures, that these are how you learn to become what you are yet to be, for they remind you that you have much to still learn of this world, and of your­self too.

Your High­er Self knows this, that you are here to mas­ter your­self and these worlds, and you can only do this by learn­ing to choose what is good and true. That you can only dis­cov­er this when you fall into error, reap the kar­ma and so learn to choose bet­ter the next time around…and the next time after that, and so on. You earn your Wis­dom, you find the one True Path because it is the only way to become, it is the only way, it is “The Way” to become a Star.

You are here, in this most pre­cious place, in this King­dom of Human, where you are giv­en the oppor­tu­ni­ty to choose (and often to choose poor­ly), and so face those con­se­quences you made…and so, over time, over count­less years and lives, you learn to choose Love and Kind­ness and Con­sid­er­a­tion, you learn you are here to cre­ate “The Good”…and so you will join those who have gone ahead of you, and you with they will become con­scious co-cre­ators of “the good”, of what is Beau­ti­ful and Lov­ing and True.

Today you stand between all that may be, and all that is so far. You have come very far, and you have very far to go, that is true.

But you are not alone, not ever…

And there is the promise and help of those who wait for you.

Who have been where you are now…

And just like you, they learned to choose, and

They Chose to Grow

They Chose to Care

They Chose Love.

The One becomes the Many.

The Divine “falls”, through realms of ener­gy and form,

Bring­ing Light and Love to Spirit-Matter.

It is all a play of Light & Shadows,

From Galax­ies and Worlds beyond the beyond,

To your Star and Moon, and you as well.

It is all a won­drous full­ness of Life and Light,

A spi­ral­ing, swirling, and sparkling dance of Spirit,

Of which you “see” but a little…so far.

With­in these emanating/reflecting/refracting ener­gies and forms,

You are embraced and sup­port­ed by your stel­lar companions,

In this lit­tle cor­ner of space, in this spe­cial world you call home.

Today/Tonight a spe­cial play of Light and Shad­ow will dance across your world. Twice a year the Sun, Moon and Earth align “just so”, and their shad­ows fall upon one anoth­er. It is a won­der­ful affir­ma­tion of how intri­cate­ly and won­der­ful­ly you can feel whole with the uni­verse. This spi­ral­ing dance of Light and Mat­ter forms a joy­ous affir­ma­tion that all of Cre­ation is of one Life, of one Spir­it which is you too.

This is the sec­ond eclipse and first Solar Eclipse of 2014. Here is what I wrote about this align­ment in the 2014 Gen­er­al Forecast:

Annu­lar Solar Eclipse (April 28–29)

The sec­ond eclipse of the year is an Annu­lar Solar in Tau­rus. The annu­lar type eclipse cre­ates the effect of a “Ring of Fire” around the Sun as the Moon’s dis­tance from the Earth does not com­plete­ly cov­er the Sun, and so a small por­tion of the Sun appears around the edges of the shad­ow formed by the Moon. The term Annu­lar comes from the word annu­lus which means “bright ring”.

Here is infor­ma­tion about the Eclipse and where it will be vis­i­ble. It will only be vis­i­ble in the extreme south­ern hemi­sphere, most vis­i­ble in Antarctica.

The mes­sage of the Tau­rus Solar Eclipse is cen­tered again upon the fun­da­men­tal ques­tion of val­ue: where does your under­stand­ing arise as to how you val­ue your­self and how do you val­ue this world around you? The answer is that the true source of val­ue is to be found with­in your expe­ri­ence of your High­er Self, for in your heart of hearts you are Spir­it, in your core you are sim­ply pure Love.

Each New Moon pro­vides you with a bless­ing from Spir­it, lit­er­al­ly formed as an Inspi­ra­tion that is lov­ing­ly offered so as to lead you out from with­in. As the moon aligns with the Sun, a mes­sage is impart­ed, a drop of Divin­i­ty offered up, and the Moon will mod­u­late and bring this to you here on Earth. But dur­ing a Solar Eclipse, there is a even deep­er work­ing of Spir­it through Mat­ter, a greater play of Light and Shad­ow will dance before you now.

Every year, the New Moon of Tau­rus will bring you a refresh­ing reas­sur­ance that your true val­ue, your inher­ent worth, is beyond any­thing you can imag­ine or mea­sure on Earth. Yes, at any one time of man­i­fes­ta­tion, in any one life or even peri­od in a life, you might imag­ine a lim­it to what you can do or become (but even here you would be mis­tak­en, for you do not real­ly know yet what tru­ly lies with­in the depths of you). Your mea­sure is beyond mea­sur­ing because at the core of you is a Spark of the Divine, and this means you are Divine too. And it is this which forms your Peren­ni­al Promise of becom­ing more and more, of grow­ing, learn­ing and reach­ing for the beyond, for­ev­er and ever.

But at the Tau­rus Solar Eclipse your gift of Inspi­ra­tion elic­its a deep­er welling up of pat­terns that were laid down long, long ago. For the Moon is the Bear­er of your Past, (just as the Earth is your present, and the Sun your Avatar of ever-unfold­ing Tomor­rows). So as the Moon comes between you and your Star, she will cross over and shad­ow the mes­sage that is there. You will have to be a lit­tle stronger, a lit­tle more res­olute, and so pierce through these shad­ows of old fail­ures and fears that are elicit­ed by the Sun from the Moon, for these are the remain­ders, those hopes and promis­es unmet, in a far dis­tant time, these are those loss­es that broke your heart.

For your Jour­ney is not a straight line, and there will be ris­es and there will be falls. You will feel the full­ness of your strengths, but also live through the wan­ing of them too. You will find though that in the end that there is one source of strength, that there is one abid­ing pow­er which will stand with you through it all. For behind all your lives, and with­in each life there is the Beau­ty and Good­ness and Love that will nev­er fade.

Your Foun­tain-Source of strength is with you always, for your high­er Self will help you through. So at such a time of karmic pre­cip­i­ta­tion, when a welling up of old shad­ows is fold­ed into the Sun’s gift of the New, you need to remem­ber who and what you real­ly are, to lis­ten to your beloved there with­in you, your High­er Self, who will tell you once more, that you are beau­ti­ful, you are val­ued, you are love and loved…and you will Love and be Loved, for this is who you are.

Then you can turn and face the shad­ows, and redeem those bro­ken rem­nants of yesteryear.

You can for­give your­self and one anoth­er, for you are not yet what you will some­day be.

You will see through these tem­po­rary forms of matter…

Know­ing tru­ly you are more than these.

For you are Light and Love danc­ing out of shadows…

Draw­ing ever closer…

To the Cross­ing Point of the Light.
