Podcast

On Sun­day Decem­ber 6^th, Mars in Libra will square Plu­to in Capri­corn, and then on Thurs­day Decem­ber 10^th Mars will form an oppo­si­tion with Uranus in Aries. This will elic­it or trig­ger the still ongo­ing major align­ment of Uranus with Plu­to, which has been the sig­na­ture, major and defin­ing astro­log­i­cal aspect from 2008 until now (and into the near future as well). You can search on my blog for the pre­vi­ous post­ings about Uranus and Plu­to if you wish. Today, in this audio/podcast, I focus upon the par­tic­u­lar and per­son­al indi­ca­tions for these linked align­ments with regards to the Mars to Plu­to aspect. In the next pod­cast I will com­ment on the Mars to Uranus side of this pattern.

Real­i­ty and Dreams, Fear and Faith

Sat­urn meets Nep­tune today, (and again June 17, 2016 and Sep­tem­ber 10, 2016).

I begin today with this new for­mat of audio record­ings. I will con­tin­ue to write for the blog on a month­ly basis, but I want to devote most of my writ­ing time to work­ing on a book.

This meet­ing of Sat­urn and Nep­tune speaks to our expe­ri­ence of Real­i­ty being formed and re-reformed by our won­drous fac­ul­ty of Imag­i­na­tion and Dream­ing. We are always seek­ing to become some­thing more, to advance our­selves and our world so as to ful­fill our dreams of a bet­ter life. But we must equal­ly be aware that this avatar of Dream­ing  in com­bi­na­tion with Sat­urn can also give rise to Illu­sions, Delu­sions and Decep­tions if mis­ap­plied or mis­un­der­stood. As always, the key to work­ing with and with­in this hier­ar­chy of forces is to remain cen­tered and secured by the fun­da­men­tal prin­ci­ples found in all spir­i­tu­al, philo­soph­i­cal and sci­en­tif­ic teach­ings (Sat­urn in Sagit­tar­ius), while equal­ly being open in a lov­ing way to the Inspi­ra­tion that leads you to the greater aware­ness and life offered up to you by your High­er Self (Nep­tune in Pisces).

Please select the link below and lis­ten to my brief com­men­tary on this sig­na­ture align­ment for the next nine months.

Sat­urn-Nep­tune commentary

The Path of Wis­dom; The Path of Peace

You are a spark of the Divine,

A pil­grim of spir­it, on a jour­ney of becoming.

Always reach­ing towards the Greater Awareness,

Ever abid­ing in a more Encom­pass­ing Love,

You are the builder of lumi­nous Holy Spaces,

Formed and filled by your mighty Will.

 

You have walked in shad­owed pain-filled places,

Those dim-lit realms of mor­tal loss and grief.

But this is the price you that you will pay,

It is the levy that leav­ens your soul,

As you seek the path of Peace,

As you find the way to Joy,

As you make you way by your Heart,

For you will one day awak­en, and you will realize,

That you abide in an ever­last­ing Love.

 

You have come through many realms,

In Airy spaces of pure rea­son and Knowing,

By Earthy orders of what is Real and True,

Swept by Waters of Feel­ing and Empathy,

You come once more to the Spir­i­tu­al Fires of Sagittarius.

You enter this Realm of Understanding,

As you find your way to Truth.

 

The Path will always seem to be “out there”,

In the Great Halls of Knowl­edge and Wisdom,

In the Philoso­phies, Reli­gions, Sci­ences and Arts,

That were formed, forged and lived by

The Mas­ters, Sages and Seers long, long ago.

For many have walked these paths before you,

And they left behind these ker­nels of understanding,

So that their spir­it lives on for you,

In these Lights of Rea­son, Faith and Love.

 

But you must know and understand,

That these truths are the very warp and weave of your Universe,

From the Cos­mic Spaces stretch­ing to the far­thest Hierarchies,

Down to the Infin­i­tes­i­mals in the Inner­most spaces of Space.

From the Macro­cosm to the Micro­cosm, as above it is so below,

And so also, most tru­ly, form­ing your own very Heart and Soul.

 

The Truth is, the Path to Truth will always be…

Found with­in, (as much as it sur­rounds you too).

The Roy­al Road is in you, and so you will find the way,

By your own Divine Spark, your “dear­ly beloved”, will be your guide,

Offer­ing inspi­ra­tion, leav­en­ing your aware­ness even in the dark­est hour.

Like a touch of a feath­er, or the faintest scent of a flower,

Your pre­cious Voice of the Silence will bring you home.

 

Truth Is.

And no Truth can be imposed by one or by many,

It will not be lived in Force or ful­filled through Fear.

Truth is drawn out from with­in, from your Quin­tes­sence of Spirit,

And each one of you will come to see and live by a Greater Truth giv­en time.

And the Pre­cious Key, the Great­est Truth, that holds and forms all oth­ers is this:

The Love of the One for one and for all.

 

And because of this, because you are all ones of the One,

When­ev­er you tres­pass upon one another,

When­ev­er you force this or that “truth” upon any oth­er, you will “sin”…

And there will be no truth there.

When­ev­er any­one claims that their truth is “Truth”, they shall fall into darkness,

For they have lost the source of Truth which is Love, Com­pas­sion and Empathy.

 

How will you know, how will you dis­cern the less true from the greater?

Your heart of hearts, your kind­li­ness and gentleness,

Your dear­ly Beloved will always help you to let go of the lesser,

And so you will move towards the greater understanding.

You will move clos­er to a Greater Love.

 

And because of this, your growth in Understanding,

Will always be matched by the depths of your Humility.

For those who have walked the path before you have shown this to be the way:

The more you Know, the more you will under­stand and accept one another.

The more you Under­stand, the more Love will inform your Creation.

The more you Love, the clos­er you will come to Peace.

 

For some, Phi­los­o­phy means “the love of Wisdom”,

But for those who tru­ly under­stand, it means “the Wis­dom of Love”.

Truth as Love is made man­i­fest by you as you Love one another.

As you should…For you are one another.

 

The great illu­sion you are here to dis­pel is your sep­a­ra­tion from one another.

And when you do this,

When you love and are loved as you are by the One,

There will be Peace for one and for all.

 

There is no Reli­gion high­er than Truth…

There is no Truth high­er than Love…

Love one another.

Love.

You are an Immortal…

A Being of Wis­dom, Love and Light.

You began this jour­ney of becom­ing, long, long ago…

Mov­ing from Age to Age, through World after World.

The Divin­i­ty with­in work­ing by count­less forms,

Sweep­ing through a ver­i­ta­ble infin­i­ty of lives.

You are a Hier­ar­chy of Energy-Forms,

From your inner­most Immor­tal Presence,

Reach­ing down into your pre­cious mor­tal frame.

At your inner­most and high­est there is the Spark of the Divine. It is your You, the “Watch­er”, your High­er Self who is lov­ing and lift­ing all these many bod­ies or vehi­cles of your Self-in-Manifestation.

This Inner­most and your less­er forms, all trav­el as one through many Worlds, Forms and Lives. It is this Inte­gral Hier­ar­chy of you that makes pos­si­ble your expe­ri­ence of the many dimen­sions of Space-Time-Form.

In each World, Form and Life, your High­er Self Inspires and Guides these less devel­oped forms of you. And, they equal­ly make pos­si­ble your jour­ney of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it by and through these many Ener­gy-Forms that are the Hier­ar­chies of the Cosmos.

With­in each life episode, each indi­vid­u­al­ly and all of you togeth­er rise high­er and high­er in this Cos­mos of Mind, Love and Will.

You are, in essence, your own lit­tle cos­mos of Life and Love…Yet you are also a pre­cious mote or spark of light with­in the Greater Cos­mos of the One.

For you, once you have crossed the razor’s edge that is self-aware­ness, there comes the poignant, pow­er­ful and awe­some con­fronta­tion with your essen­tial nature, that you are an Immor­tal in a Mor­tal frame. You are in your essence for­ev­er, you some­how “know this”, and yet you are only here in this form and life for a very short while indeed.

You are pow­er­ful beyond reck­on­ing, and yet so frag­ile too. You are Time­less and yet cir­cum­scribed by the immutable Laws of Kar­ma, by the work­ings of cause and effect, your jour­ney seem­ing­ly defined by Birth and Death…and Re-Birth.

In each life, and through many parts with­in any one life you will come to this moment you face now, you come to the Mys­tery and the Promise…

This is the por­tal you face now, this is the Time and Space in which we cel­e­brate this dance of Life after Life, of Birth and Death, of our Immor­tal­i­ty and Mor­tal­i­ty, this is the time that is known as Scorpio.

You are made of all these Liv­ing Ones, they all abide, inform and guide you, from with­in through and from all around you too. These Twelve Avatars of Uni­ver­sal Ener­gies and Forms, this Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones have become pop­u­lar­ly become known as the Signs of the Zodi­ac. They are much more than is con­ven­tion­al­ly under­stood, as they are Builders of this Cos­mos, Prin­ci­ples of the Ancient Wis­dom, a pre­cious Core of the Peren­ni­al Phi­los­o­phy, and their mean­ings and mes­sages are about the sto­ry of Spir­it. For those with eyes to see and ears to hear, they reveal, guide and inspire your jour­ney of becoming.

For you to become what you are meant to be, you must and will mas­ter all of these Twelve. To be ful­ly human, to be awak­ened you will be all of these Signs com­plete­ly some­day. But through­out these Twelve there is no greater chal­lenge, no greater test or gift as the one which is held in this the Eighth Sign of Scorpio.

In Libra you met the expe­ri­ence of the oth­er, you formed the sacred space that is shared, the Space of We. It is where that you begin to tran­scend your illu­sion of alone­ness and sep­a­ra­tion, you begin to form the rain­bow bridges of under­stand­ing between one another…but this is not enough. Not for you or for them…You must go fur­ther, beyond. Beyond the illu­sion and to the Truth of One­ness and Union.

This is the promise and per­il of Scor­pio. The sweet joy of becom­ing one with one anoth­er nec­es­sar­i­ly places you upon the path of unimag­in­able Joy as you reach beyond the illu­sion that is sep­a­ra­tion and know in fact that you are tru­ly you when you are one with one anoth­er. That what you see look­ing back at you is anoth­er spark of the Divine, and there in them you see the Mys­tery of the One. In them and in you, and by your let­ting go of fear, you expe­ri­ence what is behind it all…it is all about Love. You feel the feel­ing behind all of Cre­ation, for you now know that you have found one another…again. And there are no words for this, you are in a sacred place that is tru­ly beyond all words…

But because of this you also have tak­en anoth­er step upon the path of pain…for noth­ing and no one is for­ev­er. If you love, you will feel joy; and so you will and must feel pain too. For this is the way of Truth. How could it not be so? The pain you will one day feel, when some­one leaves, or is tak­en away, or when they pass away…You won­der how, how can you bear this pain?

And for a time, maybe a long time, it is seem­ing­ly unbearable…and that is not alto­geth­er bad, for it is the liv­ing proof that you are Human, that you care, and feel…and so you should. But it will pass, for even­tu­al­ly the pain will turn into this Under­stand­ing: that it is the Love that was there, and is here now, and that will always be that is ever-present Song of Spir­it. Your pain is your love, and you will choose to Love again and again.

Because you will accept: that this pain is the refracted/reflected mir­ror of the Joy and Hap­pi­ness that was, is and will be again. For you are bound to one anoth­er from the begin­ning until the end. You are all made of one anoth­er, as all your lives lived, all the expe­ri­ences, feel­ings, hopes, dreams, all of it has been with and through one anoth­er and so you are made by, for and of one another…and you will meet again, and again to con­tin­ue your jour­ney of Light and Love.

It is the Time of Scorpio…it is time to face your great­est fears.

Face down your fear of Rejec­tion, your fear of Loss, your Fear of Death.

You must face them all and know you are an Immortal,

And you have noth­ing to fear.

You are a being of Light and Love.

You were formed by Love,

By the Love of the One, and

By your Love for one another.

This dark­ness will pass,

The Light will shine through.

For you Jour­ney togeth­er, and

You will lift your­self and one anoth­er up.

By Love, Wis­dom and Will,

You will make your way home,

Through this Galaxy of Stars.

The Covenant of Spirit

You are made of one another…

Inex­tri­ca­ble, Indivisible…Inseparable.
You have made one anoth­er what and who you are…
You are in them, and they are all in you.

In Worlds after Worlds, in Form after Form and in Life after Life,
You are the Self-that-is-Becom­ing made by all your “rela­tions”.
For this is Truth: “We are all related”.

Your Spir­i­tu­al Intu­ition, Men­tal and Emo­tion­al Intel­li­gences and even Bod­i­ly Wis­dom, all of these attrib­ut­es have been sum­moned, elicit­ed and made more per­fect through the inte­gral rela­tion­ships you have with one anoth­er. For you are one of many, and all are part of a vast Hier­ar­chy of Self-Lumi­nous beings with whom you journey.

For in the Begin­ning, you all came from the One,
And to the One you will all some­day return.
Through eons upon eons, your jour­neys are with one another,
For you remain for­ev­er, one with this One, and so one with one anoth­er too.

From the begin­ning you must Remem­ber this, your Illu­sion is Sep­a­ra­tion…
The Fun­da­men­tal Truth of Spir­it is For­ev­er: One Life, One Light, One Love.

Today the Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones, which form the Ener­gies you know as the Zodiac,shines once more through the Great Mys­tery that is Libra. What is this mys­tery? All the oth­er signs of the Zodi­ac are rep­re­sent­ed by an Ani­mal and/or Human fig­ure. Only in Libra do we have an object, the Scales, as the sym­bol for this spe­cial expe­ri­ence in Time and Space…why is that?

In your Jour­ney of Self-Becom­ing, it is in the realm of Libra that you move into true, objec­tive relationship…you reach out­side of your­self to the oth­er, only to come back to your­self with a greater under­stand­ing, a more objec­tive aware­ness of your­self and your world.

For this is the way, this is Truth: You always abide in your Sacred Space, the fields of phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al, men­tal and spir­i­tu­al ener­gy-forms that cre­ate the space of you. And whomev­er you are encoun­ter­ing “out there”, they too reside in their sacred space or vehi­cle of ener­gy-forms too. But know this, always, in any and all rela­tion­ships, there is the “Third Space”, the Sacred Space formed by one anoth­er in which you will meet in this dance of Spir­it with one anoth­er, the spi­ral­ing dance of Ener­gy-Forms that is your relationship…and that Space, that Sacred Space of “We” is pre­cise­ly the con­cern, focus and sub­stance found in the great mys­tery encoun­tered in Libra.

You are here to grow, for you are Spir­it. You are not here to try and change one anoth­er, (though in every encounter you will cer­tain­ly bring about changes for and in one anoth­er). You are here to see the oth­er as yourself…as a unique and pre­cious dew-drop of spir­it. You must treat this oth­er as befits your under­stand­ing, that you and they are equal and of one anoth­er. You will learn to fol­low the inher­ent “Law” which is found­ed by your ori­gins: Do Unto Oth­ers as You Would have them do Unto You…for they are you!

Each rela­tion­ship you form will act as a cat­a­lyst upon your own self-unfold­ment, and an alchem­i­cal quick­en­ing will occur with­in each of you from your expe­ri­ences with one anoth­er. But you must nev­er tres­pass upon one anoth­er; you must hold their space as much as your own as a sacred sanc­tu­ary, a holy place in which you may not force or be forced to be or do anything…you must hold true to who you are, a Divine Being of Light and Love.

But where you both may “play” and “learn” and “become”, where you may cre­ate and undo, where you will try and fail and then try again, and where you can and will become more than you were because of what you cre­ate together…this is pre­cise­ly the Third Space of the We, and it is here that you can become the bet­ter you and they will also, by and through this very Ener­gy-Form you cre­ate between one another.

You must make clear to one anoth­er what you will hold to here. That in mov­ing into rela­tion­ships, into “objec­tive space”, you must artic­u­late the prin­ci­ples, rules, guide­lines, laws and sen­si­bil­i­ties that each of you will be held to in order to cre­ate an expe­ri­ence of mutu­al ben­e­fit, bal­ance and dynam­ic equilibrium.

And these “rules” or prin­ci­ples or laws that you shall set, where will you find these? Why, they come from the very heart of you, from the sacred space that is the core of you and every­one else, and it is from here that you will align your­self with the Know­ing-Feel­ing-Love that guides you to treat one anoth­er as you should…as equal, as the same…as broth­er-sis­ter sparks of the one Divine Flame.

Yes, it is in this mutu­al offer­ing, of Bal­ance and Grace, that you will both give to and receive from one anoth­er, and by each of you con­scious­ly agree­ing to cre­ate this expe­ri­ence you will form a new Sacred Space of Light and Love between one another.

It will be a bridge of Light and Love,
A Rain­bow of Affir­ma­tion shining,
Con­scious­ly join­ing you to one another.

The promise will be kept,
The Covenant will be sealed,
Between you and your high­er self,
And so to the One in whom you all abide.

For you are nev­er alone,
You are always loved,
For­ev­er and ever,

Amen.
