Into the Core

Looking out into 2014 it feels like we have indeed stepped into a new landscape - everything appears the same and yet it has undoubtedly changed.  

 

Time seems to move within a different rhythm, impossible to measure in the old way - for there is no substance to the length or span of time.

 

It is now all but nine months ago since I last wrote anything on this blog.  That nine months feels an eternity on one level and yet,  on another, no time seems to have passed at all - like Alice in Wonderland we seem to be moving through different realities.

 

2013 seems to have been a time of restructuring, restoring and realigning - it feels as if it has been a time of fertility - a fusing of energy right into our DNA - a time when much has been shape shifting  in the deepest depths of our Being.

 

Indeed it has felt like a pregnancy, or at least a pregnant pause - awaiting a time to birth the gifts of this gestational time of reflection before stepping once more into the world with new insights and awareness.    

 

There has been a sense of emptiness, spaciousness, timelessness - as if we are being reborn - reborn into a Universe that has subtly changed - or perhaps, more accurately, in which we have changed fundamentally at our very core.

Later on in the Spring, on April 21st,  we will have the first of the two Uranus Pluto squares  taking place this year when  once again, this on going cycle of these two transpersonal planets will continue to encourage us all to step free of past subconscious patterning - to free ourselves from ancestral karma - and to remember who we truly are.

I listened to this message from Kryon today who speaks so eloquently and beautifully about our pathway in 2014 and I ask you too to listen and allow the resonance to inspire your steps into this New Year.

The waiting is over - now is the time for Being all that we can Be.

 

Planting the Seeds of Consciousness

Today, 14th March, we are all being bathed in a Cosmic alignment that is both healing and empowering. There are times in the Universal flow of Time when our Group Consciousness is being scanned and recorded - although this goes on all the time, some moments in time can more clearly show the state of Humanity's Group Awareness.

The energy that flows from Source is pure potential, however as it has flowed down through the Solar System over eons of time, into our own chakra systems, each of us has imbued the Energy with our own emotional and mental belief patterns, eventually clouding the pristine clarity and purity of the energy's highest potential.

The Energy that is bringing through this resonance down into our subtle bodies and auric system, today, is the aligning of Pluto Mars Venus Jupiter and Chiron held in the form of a Grand Trine/Kite within a Fixed Square.

Here is the chart of energetic Light Consciousness that will be pulsing through our Solar System - the red lines are the fixed saure and the blue the Grand Trine.

Simply put, the Grand Trine is encouraging and imbuing our personal wills/egos (Mars) to be aligned with Higher Divine Will (Pluto) and fused with the expansiveness of our Hearts (Jupiter Venus) so that we might act as conduits for true healing to occure (Neptune Chiron), not just individually, but within the Group Consciousness as a whole.

The Fixed Square links the Moon, North Node Juno to Mars SouthNode Neptune Chiron and Pallas Athena.

Again simply put, this moment in time is when our Group unconsciousnees, via the Moon, is being assessed. Each of us has the potential to assist the Group unconsciousness, through the next days, as the Moon passes through this planetry alignment, via the clarity of our own Being.

The North South Nodal Points , which are part of this planetary alignment link to a spiritual/karmic moment in time.

The degree image for the Moon, at 5.50 GMT this morning, when the alignment of Venus and Jupiter became exact, is the 'Great Pyramid and Sphinx'. From Dane Rudhyar's book this image has to do with the enduring power of occult knowledge...and of Seed-Men of a previous cycle of existence. This degree points to the greatness of a Soul's past achievements and the value of the 'Power of Spiritual Ancestry' The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx are witnesses to a Tradition and it implies that such a solid foundation is necessary, as new evolutionary developments are unfolding.

So steadiness and Centredness are the watchwords here.

Juno relates to the Sacred Marriage, to the internal balance of the Male and Female, the Yin and Yang within each individual, the Sacred Alchemy of blending opposites - this degree is asking for 'Emotional Rebirth' - a time to blend and expand our love to a level that is unconditional - seeing the Divine within our selves and others - in this way we raise the vibrational frequency of all.

Looking at 10 degrees Pisces, where Pallas Athena is - the degree image is 'Men Traveling a Narrow Path Seeking Illumination', This degree refers to the ancient and eternal symbol of the Path of Initiation. The greatness of man is that he can always be greater and the belief - deeply rooted in our inner nature - that if we fulfil the necessary conditions we will attain our higher selves, asisted by our 'Elder Brothers and Sisters'. As Dane Rudhyar says - the Path is always open to the pure in heart, the mentally aware, the conqueror of emotions and the spiritually self mobilized. The key word of this image is the Zen statement of 'Walk On'

Finally, Mars is at 9 Virgo and is the pivotal point for both the Grand Trine and the Grand Cross. The image of 9 Virgo is 'Two Heads Looking out and Beyond the Shadows' - which refers to the growth of consciousness, born out of the transcendence of duality, even while immersed in the world of duality. We are being asked to jump beyond the shadow that our mind casts upon all experiences.

At this point in time as we are transitting into a new level of Consciousness - one beyond Duality - and many blockages, sudden reversals are coming up to be cleared and cleansed - it is a time of great purification for many Souls - if we can see all that occurs as a necessary and positive realignment, then we can hold a steady foundation for this next evolutionary process that is unfolding through us all.

Indeed we do need to keep on 'Walking On' holding our dreams and knowingness in our hearts as 'Seed Men' - for this is the time to plant our Seeds of Vision Peace and Love and watch them grow through the upcoming months assisting the Group Consciousness to grow and to Flower.

A Searchlight on our Consciousness

You must not let your life run in the ordinary way: do something that nobody else hase done. Yogananda
So much is being written about this year, 2012, so many thoughts, so many beliefs, but what is actually occurring in our Solar System and how might we connect into the downpouring of consciouness that is flooding into our planet at this moment in time.

Neptune, on Feb 3rd, returned once more to its natural resonance, in the sign of Pisces. It will be transiting through this energetic resonance over the next twelve years. All that is alluring, promising and ephemeral flows within this Neptunian Piscean combination - all our highest ideals, and equally, our greatest fantasies are embodied within this archetypal energetic field.

At this point in time Chiron is also in Neptune just a couple of degrees away from Neptune. The Chiron conjuction of Neptune occurred back in 2009 at 26 Aquarius, but over these next three years or so Chiron will orbit just ahead of Neptune, as if pulling and streaming our consciousness to reach out for the highest spiritual manifestation possible.

Many of our beliefs, desires and dreams will be brought into the discerning Light of Chiron. Do our beliefs and aspirations encourage and evolve our true awareness, or do they simply delude/wound us into a false sense of illusory wellbeing.

At this time of writing Jupiter is making a sixty degree anle (a sextile)to both Neptune and Chiron and so we are bare being greatly encouraged to raise our consciousness, expand our awareness and to clarify our accumulated beliefs and desires that have been handed down to us over generations.
As Uranus is travelling through Aries we will be given every opportunity to cut through any foggy dreams and illusions that have built up within our accumulated psyches. It is as if the Cosmos is saying 'Wake Up, smell the roses and live and act in the Present' - no dreaming about the past or fantasising about the future - but be clear in this moment.
This need for clarity is being really intensified with Pluto in Capricorn making a 90 degree angle (a square angle) to Uranus. Pluto and Uranus require radical solutions - they ask that we live in extra ordinary ways - that we bring our clarity and individuality to a higher purpose - one that serves the collective consciousness in a True sense.

On June 24th, just over a fortnight after Venus's transit across the Sun (a separate blog at a later date) Uranus at 8 Aries 24 will make an exact 90 degree angle to Pluto at 8 Capricorn 24 - and the need to distinguish between illusion and high ideals will be brought clearly into focus.

One of the illusions which may well surface at this time is the sense that we are in some way separate to each other - this is the greatest of all illusions - for we are all intimately interconnected within the group consciousness that we have all created and so our interdependence upon each other may well come into sharp focus at this time.

The radical shift that we need to embody is our real understanding of the Oneness of all Life and how we can communicate and interact, with this field of consciousness in ways that will benefit and evolve our perception of what it is to be a human being.

It is said that there are only two destinies for Mankind - one is to become a Divine Human Being and the other is to become a Divine Human Angel. With Neptune and Chiron passing through Pisces we have the ability to seed this evolutionary path of Divine Love. With Uranus and Pluto clearing the way, we may yet find the clarity, courage and collective will to turn the cogs of the evolutionary wheel, to Birth the next face of Human Consciousness.

Let the Light Shine

At sunrise, on January 4th – the Moon and Sun will come together to form a partial Solar eclipse that may be be seen across much of Europe, N Africa and Central Asia. The Eclipse will occur just an hour before Jupiter and Uranus make their final conjunction in the sky

Jupiter and Uranus began this Dance in the Sky on June 8th 2010, then again on September 2010 and now finally they will be uniting their resonances at 10 am on the 4th. Jupiter and Uranus together bring about unexpected change – new ways of being - igniting flashes of inspiration and sparks of Light to cleanse, awaken and release us from past restrictions. Occurring as it does at the same time as the Solar Eclipse we can expect change – indeed WE ARE the change!!

This Jupiter Uranus triple conjunction which has been on going since June of last year has created a sense of unpredictablity - a feeling of vast potential and yet no clear direction in which to proceed. As Jupiter and Uranus are passing through the latter degrees of Pisces we can all feel as if we are at sea and the waves can create a sense of anticipation, nervousness, or excitement.

These last few months have been a training ground for being present, staying in the moment and flowing with what is.... spontaneously learning to adapt and change direction and ideas as the tides swiftly alter. personal desires and actions seem to have been put on hold for a time.

Looking at the chart for the Solar Eclipse you will see that the Sun and Moon are at 13 39 of Capricorn and they are in between the planets Mars and Pluto - this promises to bring about radical change in the way that we utilise our individual wills. Indeed with the Mars/Pluto midpoint link to the Eclipse we will need to bring our actions into an alignment with higher purpose. To clearly see that in uniting our efforts we assist each other and the whole, not only from a vibrational point of view but also practically. This energetic will also encourage a sense of purpose, focus and direction that will assist us all in utilising our own creative gifts and talents for the benefit of the whole.

In a similar way to the Lunar Eclipse chart, at the time of the Winter Solstice, the theme of co-operation is highlighted as Jupiter and Uranus are making a trine, a 120 degree angle, to Venus and this encourages new ways of co-operating and sharing our resources with each other.

Neptune conjunct Chiron in Aquarius echo this theme of co-operation - of how we need to work within a group consciousness - our need to move away from acting purely in self interest if we are to mature and to grow as a race.

The Jupiter Uranus combination has the potential to creat chaotic situations - disruptions that appear to have no benefit and yet from a larger, higher perspective, all has an underlying purpose.
Saturn at this moment in time is some 90 degrees away from both the Sun and the Moon which suggests that the changes that need to come can come in a balanced and harmonious way, that we need to practically work together.

As it is 90 degrees from the Sun and the Moon there could be tension in allowing change to occur - the more we resist change the more difficult the process becomes - however, this chart suggests that it is more about integrating whatever occurs with as little disruption as possible - with Grace and Ease. It is about holding a steady path, not throwing the baby out with the bathwater, whilst also being open to embodying change and radically new experiences.

Neptune conjunct Chiron in Aquarius echoes the theme of co-operation, individuals working as a group to assist the whole. At present Queensland Australia is a living example of coming together to assist each other during a time of crisis as the current floods have affected so many thousands. Is it by chance that in the astrological chart for when Queensland became an Independent State from NSW, in 1859, the planet Neptune, whose resonance is so linked with the Water Element, was at 27 degrees of Pisces which is where Jupiter and Uranus are right now making this final conjunction, or is there a larger pattern and design underpinning these floods which has still to flower?

From a metaphysical level - it is about being deeply Earthed and balanced so that we may embody more Light in physical form - so let us all hold a steady path, whilst also being wide open to embodying change and radically new experiences.

Just like the Light on the Peacock's feather we can Shine. The Peacock signifies new opportunity for spiritual growth and healing. The Peacock's gifts bring confidence, stature and accomplishment to the dreamer. Peacock's feathers are ringed with eyes that contain the medicine of foresight and clairvoyance. The lesson the Peacock teaches us is to watch our pride and beware of the ego. Thus, Peacock medicine encourages our ability to be truly noble, yet humble.

As we journey through 2011 may we all walk with these gifts and awareness.

Invisible Interconnectedness

Because I Love the Sun pours out its rays of Living Gold pours out its gold and silver on the sea.

Because I Love the Earth upon her Astral spindle winds Her ecstasy producing dance.

BecauseI Love clouds travel on the winds through wide skies, skies wide and beautiful, blue and deep.
Because I Love the iridescent shells upon the sand take forms as fine and intricate as thought.
Because I Love the ferns grow green, and green the grass, and green the transparent sunlit trees.
Because I Love larks rise up from the grass and all the leaves are full of singing birds
BecauseI Love there is an invisible way across the sky, birds travel by that way and the Sun and Moon
And all the stars travel that path by night

Kathleen Raine

As we are about to leave 2010 to enter into the New Year – we flow into 2011 with the resonance and seeding of the Total Lunar Eclipse that took place at the Solstice still unfolding within us.

At that moment in time, the Sun and the Moon were in opposition to each other at 29 21 Sagittarius and 29 21 Gemini respectively, forming a Grand Cross of mutable energy with Jupiter conjunct Uranus in Pisces and the asteroid Juno holding the fourth angle at 26 Virgo.

Juno is the asteroid that signifies the Sacred Marriage, the Mystico Unico where the male and female are united in harmony and in balance – where the Physical and Spiritual are joined as One. Where duality ceases to conflict and the uniqueness of each is seen as complementing the whole – a seamless blending of all that is.

Although there is great tension within this chart it is seeking to unify opposites – to bring us all into another level of awareness through embracing and embodying the unique gifts we each possess so that we might share them with all.

In many ways the Lunation cycle and Eclipses are the tidal ‘read outs’ of the emotional and mental maturity of us all.

Since time began the Moon has been orbiting the Earth and gathering and distributing the group consciousness patterns out across the airways. Each of us embodies these resonances and then distributes them through our auric field into the subtle invisible field and so it is down to each of us as to whether we assist in the harmony or disharmony of the whole.

For we are all linked within this intricate Invisible Web – and over the next months as this Lunar Eclipse unfolds within each of us we have the opportunity to share, our particular gifts and talents our Joy, Grace and Peace with all that we meet and where the ripples of those meetings will flow out way beyond our local neighbourhood.

This interconnectedness which is so beautifully expressed in the extract from the poem by Katherine Raine sums up all that we are being asked to remember and to recognise – to remember that each of us has a profound effect upon the whole and each of us can lighten, enhance and expand and Shape Shift the Fabric of Life – for that is what we were born to do.

I wish us all a Joyous New Year full of unexpected delights and experiences – living life to the full in harmony and happiness for 1/1/11 is a time that is requesting that we begin to radically express that Unity and Wholeness which is the Truth of who we are.

The Field of Dreams – Chiron into Pisces

As we move through April and May the planetary line up is bringing in Fields of Change or more accurately, perhaps, The Field of Dreams.

Over the last five years Chiron has been passing through Aquarius. During this time we have had the ability to understand and heal our unconscious link to the group consciousness – to recognise how we are all interconnected through our thoughts and feelings and how through this grid of consciousness we experience life.

As Jupiter and Chiron made conjunctions to Neptune in Aquarius, it brought a heightened awareness of the healing power of the mind. This high resonance, malleable and compassionate planetary synthesis allowed our thoughts to be mirrored back to us, so that we could clearly see our individual imprint upon the grid, encouraging us all to realise the power of our individual mind and how our thoughts influence not only our bodies, feelings and actions but also affect the Group as a whole.

On 20th April Chiron will move briefly into Pisces until August, when it retrogrades back into Aquarius until middle February 2011, when it will return to Pisces until April 2018.

When Chiron is in Pisces there is the desire to merge into Universal Consciousness to become one with God, to lose all boundaries- to dissolve back into the Ocean where all is One. It has a deeply mystical resonance that also has the potential to distort and delude yet it encourages the highest aspiration and inspiration

The last time Chiron was in Pisces was from April 1960 through to beginning 1969 – a decade which saw a revolution in thinking, music and art – a Generation of Flower Power blossomed, psychedelic music embraced all and the desire to Make Love not War, became the ethos and motivational focus of the young.

There was great idealism, but also drugs, glamour, confusion and delusion plus a childlike innocence and naivety coloured this period. Dreams of peace, and a desire for a more gentle open Society were inspirationally beautiful yet did not manifest during the following decades.

As the Beatles sang out across the airwaves, ‘All You Need is Love’ we were unaware of the need to deeply embody and integrate Love with both Power and Wisdom.

Now 50 years on, many of the young dreamers, are now Grandparents, Elders of the Tribe, and we once again have the opportunity to manifest our highest ideals - but this time we need the idealism and vision to become Earthed, so that the highest potential can manifest and unfold through the following decades. To this end we are greatly assisted with Pluto in Capricorn, at this point in time, as it embodies the potential for both power and manifestation to occur.

In the ingress chart for Chiron into Pisces, Pluto is trine the Sun and the Sun is making a sextile to both Chiron and Neptune – suggesting the potential to bring great creativity, healing, power and growth of awareness during this seven year period whilst Chiron is in Pisces.

Saturn retrograde in Virgo forms a Yod to the Chiron Neptune conjunction sextile the Sun, and is pivotal to the chart and to the unfolding of this energetic through time.

Saturn asks for focussed intent and the degree of 29 Virgo has as its image ‘Totally intent upon completing an immediate task a man is deaf to any allurement’ The keynote for this degree is ‘The total concentration required for reaching any spiritual goal’

In Dane Rudhyar’s Astrological Mandala he states ‘The last message of this hemicycle of ‘Individualization’ is that on all decisive occasions what must be done has to be done so intently that no outer voices can penetrate the mind, still less the Soul…’

He goes on to say ‘Attention may be distracted from the Now by a voice from the past, glamorizing some old memory. The outer doors of perception and thought must be closed so the soul can complete its Conquest of Illusion’.

We are all, to a greater or lesser extent influenced by the Group Consciousness, but it is in moving beyond this field that the evolution from human to Divine consciousness can emerge.

To quote Sol Luckman, ‘The evolution from human to Divine Consciousness involves healing duality and its legacy of karma and disease at the cellular and atomic levels’.

This is the potential that has been offered through the Jupiter Neptune Chiron Conjunctions and it is this focussed understanding and belief that can and will manifest through the next decades if we take this period of time to seed this intent, wholeheartedly and unreservedly.

For we are here to break the limitations that have held us for generation after generation; we are here to release our true potential and we are here to serve the collective consciousness to grow and expand into our future selves.

Next month I will be writing about this potential as Uranus moves into Aries followed a few days later by Jupiter – so hold onto your hats – we are in for an exciting ride!!
