In the First Circle
beyond your world, he march­es ’round ever stand­ing guard, he watch­es over your
borderlands…He is pro­tec­tor, defend­er, the one who will not yield…He is the
Prince of Self-Realization…and now he returns to his most famil­iar, the Realm
of Aries wel­comes home its very own.

For the next 40 days,
Mars moves through a most spe­cial place for him and you. He has not been here
for almost two years, for that is how long he takes to dance through those
Man­sions of Life, the Wheel of Won­der known as the Zodiac.

Mars rules your
Desires, Aims and Aspirations…for once you have dis­cerned what you need or
want, it is Mars who takes up the call, it is Mars who gets you there. Mars is
back in Fire now, and you thrill with Resur­gent Idealism…You burn that much
brighter with bound­less Enthusiasms…and you move with greater longings,
urgency and a new­found Vigor.

Where­as in the past
weeks you felt the need to pause, to hold, to restrain your­self and turn your
actions inward, to be strong enough to make your right­ful Sac­ri­fice of Self…Now
you feel the urge to move out­ward again, to push ahead, to charge head­long into
your self-real­iz­ing striv­ings of Mind, Life and Love…you need, you must…and you
leap into the fray.

Yet, as is true with
any shift of ener­gies, but espe­cial­ly with this Mars in Aries move, there is a
need for Greater Understanding…You feel this mighty resur­gence of Ener­gy and
Dri­ve now, but such forces and forms need prop­er Moti­va­tion, steady Guidance
and Focused Purpose…For as with any use of great pow­er there comes great Respon­si­bil­i­ty too.

So let you Spirit
soar with renewed Enthu­si­asms, feel those Fires of Desire that burn so bright­ly now…but remem­ber to be Patient with your­self and
with one anoth­er too.

Be guid­ed by your
“Burn­ing Brights”, your won­drous­ly Ide­al­is­tic Dreams…but remember
that you are on Earth and that you do not want the pur­suit of the Per­fect to
become the obsta­cle to what is tru­ly Good and Beau­ti­ful too.

Aim for what you know
to be your Truth, go for your Heart’s Desire…but remem­ber that your way is
but one melody in this Cho­rus of Cre­ation, and though you will play your part, you
must allow oth­ers to find their way too.

Rejoice and raise your Ban­ner, the Self Awakening…

Spir­i­tu­al Fires are mov­ing now…

It is time, it is time…

It is time to sing your Song of Songs!

One last kiss before the year is done,
one more meet­ing of Dear Luna and Mighty Sol…Their dance of Light and Shadows
plays across your Opales­cent Orb, caress­ing, inform­ing, guiding…inspiring you
as you walk upon this won­drous path­way of Light…They meet one more time, to
begin again…one more time, before you begin again…

All New Moons are begin­nings, but the final
New Moon of the Astro­log­i­cal Year car­ries a very spe­cial mean­ing and significance
for you…For this is the time each year that you bring in your Spiritual
Har­vest, this your time for Reck­on­ing and Reward.

It is a time of clo­sure, for
seek­ing the mean­ing behind the forms, for bring­ing all these myr­i­ad threads of
your life just lived togeth­er, to see what you have made, to look upon what you
faced and formed in the year just past…

You look upon this mir­ror of your life, to see what type of Mag­ic Cloak of Life you wear, it is the out­er form, the Veil of Man­i­fes­ta­tion you made and moved in, of many shapes and count­less colors…It
is time to see what you have made of your­self in life this year, and to consider
what lies ahead…

Though every New Moon is a Alpha moment,
a fresh infu­sion of Spir­i­tu­al Hope and Mean­ing, the New Moon of Pisces is an
Omega moment too…For as it is said, “As it was in The Begin­ning, so
shall it be in The End”…Star Stuff you are, and to the Stars you will
return, it is your des­tiny. The Source of All, the Pow­er of Cre­ation, is also
with you, but you must learn to use it Wise­ly, Carefully…Lovingly.

So it is time once more to bow your head
and ask for For­give­ness, Guid­ance and Inspiration.

For­give your­self for the errors of this
past year…you can only learn through the mis­steps and cor­rec­tions that you
make, For­give Yourself…and Grow.

Lis­ten in the Silence, your High­er Self, always there to lead you to a bet­ter way and place…Believe and Know, You will nev­er walk alone.

Look up, and gaze with Won­der and Joy,
for you are a Star in an Ocean of Light and Love…Let your Heart be filled by the Won­der of Creation.

You are the Alpha, and you are the Omega…

You are the Light.

Who must ever fol­low the Ancient Injunction…

Walk on…Look up…

Be the Light.

Nine days in…pensive, introspective,
reflective…seeking, search­ing, wondering…

Nine days you have been turn­ing back
upon your­self, try­ing to catch a reflec­tion of your­self in your mir­rored Mind-ways.
Your high­er mind, your High­er Self all the while attempt­ing to lift you free of
your old attachments…

You are nev­er alone and help is offered
as you try to pierce these shad­owed forms that are the echoes from your past,
that can and do hold you in thrall…they are your fears (who like you wish to
live on), but can­not, they will not…unless you give in, again…

But now you are here to choose…there
is an answer is offered. For Mer­cury has come back, he pass­es over and aligns
with the Sun, whose burn­ing, bright light can dis­pel these shad­ows and reveal a
bet­ter way of Belief, a truer path of Dreaming…and a clear­er more lucid Mind flashes
free from shad­ows and fear.…

Today, an answer, your answer is offered
up…and in the still­ness and silence, in the tem­ple of your High­er Self you
can see with greater clar­i­ty your way ahead…

It is not time yet to Act, but it is
time to Believe…

A seed has been plant­ed, but you must
wait a lit­tle longer…

This New Under­stand­ing must be cared for
ten­der­ly, lovingly…

And a New day will dawn.

For now, be still, be grateful…

For now, just let it be.

Venus skips into Pisces till March 21
and you feel that greater call­ing, the need to appre­ci­ate your Life as it was, is and will always be…as filled with Imag­i­na­tion, Deeply Intu­itive and Spir­i­tu­al­ly Sublime…your Greater Real­i­ty of Beau­ty and Love.

Your sen­si­bil­i­ties have turned again,
beyond that just depart­ed Aquar­i­an realm of Human­i­ty, beyond your yearn­ings for
Broth­er­hood and Sis­ter­hood with your Kith and Kin…Now you seek for the Super­nal, for that tran­scen­dent com­mu­nion with Life itself, you yearn to feel
your one­ness with all of Creation.

Beau­ty in Pisces moves you beyond your
world of words, beyond what you so far have imag­ined. Col­ors and Sounds, Shapes
and Tastes will make you trem­ble with antic­i­pa­tion as that cool, calm feeling
comes over you, as the Beau­ty of your Uni­verse unfolds before you as never
before…you will Hear Col­ors, you will See Sounds…

Love in Pisces moves you deep­er, into
the source of Love itself…it is Soul-Full, it is Com­pas­sion, it is
Self-For­get­ful, it is the Union with the Beloved and you feel the Wind of the
Spir­it, the Gift that is Grace…it is God-Like, as are you.

For the next three weeks you will walk
in realms that you remem­ber, where you have been and will be again…While on
Earth there are lim­its beyond which your phys­i­cal form does not bend…but now,
while in Pisces, Venus will take you to the oth­er side…and you will remember,
and you will smile…and you will understand.

That there is but One Truth, One Reality…and It is Love.

Twelve times ’round The Wheel of Life, Luna
weaves those webs of des­tiny, she cir­cles in and out, up and down, as she will
ever stand between Earth and what for you is the Incom­pre­hen­si­ble Infin­i­ty, those spaces of Space that surround
you. She has but one call­ing, she is there to look after you, her child and
hope, as she weaves and mod­u­lates those Awe­some ener­gies that sweep over and
through you.

For Space is not an empti­ness, it is not
a mere ves­sel or container…Space is the Plero­ma, it is the Full­ness of Spirit
and Mat­ter, of Inner and Out­er Spaces and end­less Hier­ar­chies of Being beyond
your Knowing…and they all are but the many, mir­ror­ing aspects of the One Life
Divine…which is your life too.

These Uni­ver­sal Forms and Ener­gies for
you stream forth from the Shin­ing One, the Roy­al Regent you know as Sun, and
then take Form and Mean­ing, as they stream from and between his Court, those
oth­er Lords, those Plan­e­taries who togeth­er cre­ate the Sacred Songs of Space that
ring out, as in a Won­drous and Beau­ti­ful Majesty they hold to their appointed
places and rounds in your Solar System.

Between them all there stands dear, dear
Luna. She stands between those Uni­ver­sal Ener­gies that stream from the
Lumi­nous One and his Court, she stands between them all so as to mod­u­late and
medi­ate their gifts for you here on Earth…for she is Moth­er and will ever
pro­tect, nur­ture and care­ful­ly atten­u­ate those awe­some offer­ings for you her
children.

She comes once more to her outermost
post, out beyond your orbital path and so she is bathed there in the Fullest
Light of the Sun. She stands out in that beyond, a Mag­ic Mir­ror of Solar Force
so that you might not lose your way. For in each and every Sign you can go “too
far”, you may burn so bright­ly with that Solar Force and for­get that there
is but one true way, The Way, that Inte­gral Path of Whole­ness where all these
Twelve are as One. You can­not be in Aries with­out Libra, you can­not hold in
Can­cer with­out Capri­corn, and now you must com­plete the Cir­cle of Life, you
must hon­or and live in Vir­go as you move through Pisces too.

So as the Solar Song sings through this
time of Pisces, Luna brings you the gift of Bal­ance and Com­pen­sa­tion from the chorus
that is Vir­go. The noblest gifts are to be found here in Pisces, for in this
Twelve of the Twelve you stand at the Sum­ma Codex of Life, and you can Intuit
and Feel, per­haps even under­stand and so bow your head before the Great Mystery
Revealed…That all are sparks of this Life Divine, that all are held
togeth­er in the Love which is the Abid­ing Force that springs from the very Root
of Cre­ation itself, and from you too…

But from these lofty Heights of Universal
Love, Bound­less Joy and Infi­nite Com­pas­sion you may still stum­ble and fall, yes
even here you may for­get to main­tain that most fun­da­men­tal Principle…that you
are a Sacred Cen­ter and there are lines and bound­aries you should not cross, (at
least not until you are tru­ly ready and under­stand how, when and why this may
be done)…For with­out this under­stand­ing you can give too much, lose too much
of your­self for anoth­er, and instead of mak­ing a sac­ri­fice you stum­ble and fall
into being the very sac­ri­fice itself…and this is not the way, this is not your
way to Beau­ty, Truth and Love.

So the Full Moon in Vir­go pro­vides the
way of under­stand­ing now. That you must Love with Wis­dom, expe­ri­ence Joy with
Understanding…and to do this you must live a Life that is marked by a
Dis­cern­ing Compassion. 

For you must not cast your Pearls (Your Love) before
swine…you must Live the Truth of being a Spark of the Divine and bring forth
this very same expe­ri­ence by relat­ing in this man­ner with that won­drous being
that stands before you.

Dear Luna is there, rid­ing high and
illu­mined, and she is there to show you the Way…

She offers the Gift of Beau­ty, because
you must make your­self Whole…

She offers the Gift of Truth, because
you must under­stand why you are here…

She offers the Gift of Love, because you
must be the Love that you are.
