Synergy — Sun in Aquarius/Moon in Pisces

The Sun in Aquarius/Moon in Pisces

Unexpected events from the past may resurface over the next few days.  The opportunity for us is to begin the healing process and come to terms with situations and circumstances which may have wound us in the past.   The Moon being in fluid Pisces provides us with the healing energy to get beyond our past problems and circumstances.  Take this time to breathe in the experience and release it as the sell by date has expired.   You can begin living your life once again!

Meanwhile, the Kabbalistic energy available to us speaks volumes to those that are new in spirituality.  Yes, we have all been there.   When we become new to spirituality, there is a natural tendency in us to try to change everything about us.   We begin to hide our negative tendencies and habits, yet the problem is our negative thoughts remain.   As we grow spiritually our thoughts and actions begin to match our words, and this is a process that everyone on a spiritual path goes through.   Hiding ‘who you really are’ is not spirituality, changing ‘who you really are’ is.   The spiritual journey is ‘what is’ important, not spiritual perfection!

Eclipses, Mercury, and the Pharaoh

by Leave a Comment

Astrology and Kabbalah are perfect bedfellows.  Each week, I am amazed at how the Kabbalistic energy aligns perfectly with astrological transits.  This week we experience the first of 6 eclipses of 2009.   Despite our modern ideals, customs, and intellectual sophistication eclipses still evoke fear and trepidation.  However, for “most” people the eclipse will be a mild annoyance and uneventful.   However, to add insult to injury, we are still within the grips of Mercury retrograde.

Why all the fear?  Most of us have gone through life regretting something that we have done or said.  Whether that was a breakup, argument with friends, or altercations with those we perceive are against us.  We go through life with a “karmic” bank account, and most of us are in deficit spending.  In fact, according to Kabbalah every negative action or action done with negative (usually desire to receive for the self alone) intent accrues debt.  Sooner or later we must be to a -0- balance and astrological transits, whether planetary or eclipses often provide us with opportunities/events to learn lessons to move us past our karma.   

This weeks Kabbalistic portion is called Bo.   The portion itself is about removing negative experiences in our life that prevent us from achieving spiritual growth and/or consciousness.  Kabbalah reveals that the only way to achieve this is by connecting to the Light (Sun), which is a metaphor for self awareness.   However, the most important message out of the portion involves astrology.  

In this portion, Pharaoh’s advisors tell him to release the Israelites.   Pharaoh asks Moses who should be released and Moses replies that all the Israelites must be set free.  Pharaoh then informs Moses that his astrologers have informed him that negative planetary energies were against them.   Moses still instructs Pharaoh to release them all, despite the challenges that the Israelites may face.   Moses, does not doubt the astrology (and considering they wandered around the desert for 40 years, Pharaoh may have had a point), but he makes the choice to face it and go through it.

What does this story tell us?   The planetary energy that was upon Moses was a planet called, “Ra’ah”.   There is very little information provides as to which of the 7 visible planets “Ra’ah” refers to.  However, the term is Hebrew means “to perceive”.   However, if you look at the story with an astrological eye, it is clear that Ra’ah refers to Mercury in retrograde status.  (The Israelites wish to return (Mercury) to Israel and Pharaoh warns them not to travel (Mercury Rx)   Moreover, the story is clear that despite the astrological conditions that are upon us we must work with them rather than running away from them.   We can achieve this by understanding the energies in our own charts, and how planetary energies are affecting us.  

On the astrological level eclipses and Mercury retrograde occur often and with frequency.  They are not excuses for not living our lives, and making choices to not experience opportunities as a result of their presence.   We need to remember that you cannot add anything to the chart that is not already in the natal horoscope.  Although the houses that eclipses and Mercury Rx land are often highlighted, if there are no planets that are in aspect, then there is no energy for manifestation.  However, if the eclipse or Mercury Rx hit upon a major planet, configuration, or sensitive point within the chart then you may find the areas ruled by these planets activated for good or for ill.

This week we have a unique opportunity to rise above negative influence.  The more we are aware of ourselves and understand our natural rhythms the more power we have to utilize the productive energy available in each transit.   Eclipses and Mercury Rx are what they are, and are not inherently good or bad, negative or positive, benefic or malefic.   They instruct us to know ourselves!   Are you up to finding out who you really are?

 

 

 

 

Solar Eclipse: 06 Aquarius

by Leave a Comment

PARIS (AFP) – A few lucky people in the Indian Ocean will be treated to a rare event on Monday when an annular solar eclipse will transform the Sun into a dark disc with a blazing ring-shaped corona around its rim.

In solar eclipses, the Moon moves between the Sun and Earth, casting its shadow on the terrestrial surface.

In an annular eclipse, a tiny shift in distance that results from celestial mechanics means the Moon does not completely cover the Sun’s face, as it does in a total eclipse.

Instead, for those directly under the alignment, the Moon covers most of the Sun’s surface, and a ring-like crown of solar light blazes from the edge of the disk.

For those watching from the fringe of the track, the Sun is partially obscured, as if a bite has been taken out of it.

According to veteran NASA eclipse-watcher Fred Espenak, the total eclipse track will run from west to east on Monday from 0606 GMT to 0952 GMT.

It will traverse the Indian Ocean and western Indonesia before petering out just short of Mindanao, the Philippines.

The partial eclipse will be seen in a much wider swathe, including the southern third of Africa, Madagascar, Australia, Southeast India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia.

It will be the only annular solar eclipse this year. The last was on 7 February, 2007, and after Monday, the next one will be on 15 January, 2010.

The big event for eclipse junkies this year is on July 22, when a total solar eclipse will be visible from India and China, the world’s two most populous countries.

Serpent Of Light Beyond 2012

by Leave a Comment

Every 13,000 years on Earth a sacred and secret event takes place that changes everything. Mother Earth’s Kundalini energy emerges from its resting place in the planet’s core and moves like a snake across the surface of our world. Once at home in ancient Lemuria, it moved to Atlantis, then to the Himalayan mountains of India and Tibet, and with every relocation changed our idea of what spiritual means. And gender. And heart. This time, with much difficulty, the Serpent of Light has moved to the Andes Mountains of Chile and Peru.

Multi-dimensional, multi-disciplined, and multi-lived, for the first time in this book, Drunvalo begins to tell his stories of 35 years spent in service to Mother Earth. Follow him around the world as he follows the guidance of Ascended Masters, his two spheres of light, and his own inner growing knowledge. His story is a living string of ceremonies to help heal hearts, align energies, right ancient imbalances, and balance the living Earth’s Unity Consciousness Grid— in short to increase our awareness of the indivisibility of life in the universe. We are all—rocks and people and interdimensional beings—one!

“Life may seem to be business as usual, but it is not. We are changing fast . . . Remember this for life is going to present stranger things to you in your lifetime, and they all have meaning and purpose . . .Only Mother Earth and ancient Maya know what’s going to happen.” —from Serpent of Light
• Part travel adventure, part spiritual instruction—a firsthand account of a once in 13,000 years process.
• Drunvalo Melchizedek has a story to tell—an adventure story, a story of healing ceremonies that takeplace from the Yucatan to Kauai and Moorea to the Grand Canyon and New Zealand and to Peru.
• See what can happen when we choose to open our hearts and follow the path of light.

Get Back On the Resolution Train

by Leave a Comment

 

The celebration of the New Year is a time honored tradition.  In fact, its roots are actually derived from the Judaic customs of Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah.   During this period, the religious custom is to reflect on one’s wrongdoings over the year and both seek and offer forgiveness.   The process is to reflect upon self improvement annually.  We have simplified this process and summed it up as New Year’s Resolutions.  However, Astrology never sees anything as a one day process.  In fact, it views life as movement and a continuous flow of growth and maturation of consciousness.

So, what does Astrology tell us about the New Year’s Resolution?   According to J. Lee Lehman in her, “Book of Rulerships,” the word ‘resolute’ is ruled by the Sun.   The Sun is the center of consciousness within the individual.  It is our center, and what makes each of us different and unique.   The Moon in astrology is the ruler of change.   She reflects the flow of our day to day life, and is one of the primary planets of timing in many astrological traditions.   The relationship between the Sun and the Moon is how we measure time on the astrological level.  This process is called a lunation.

Each month the Sun and Moon goes through several stages.  For the purpose of this article the focus will be on the major moon phases.  Each phase represents a different and unique part of the monthly process.

So, what astrological sign is the best to break old habits?   According to the 12-step recovery movement, it takes approximately 28 days (a lunation cycle) to break a habit or an addiction.  Since we are concerned with resolutions or breaking negative habits we must direct ourselves astrologically to the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) as these are the signs concerned with our senses and physical life.   Most resolutions are concerned with giving up something unhealthy such as quitting smoking, losing weight, abstaining from alcohol, giving up chocolate and candy or any other behavior that the social milieu deems as unacceptable or unhealthy.   In essence, our resolutions are based on social codes or morals.  The sign that rules social codes and morals is Capricorn.  So, we can use this Capricorn (interesting that New Year’s Day falls under this sign) lunation to successfully focus on resolutions and letting go of behaviors we wish to let go of.  The Capricorn lunation cycle began on December 27, 2008 when the Sun and Moon conjoined in the sign of Capricorn.   It comes to its conclusion on January 26, 2009 (day of the Solar Eclipse) when the Sun and Moon conjoin in Aquarius.  We are currently in the last phase of this process, which is the energy period of turning away from the old or things we wish to let go of, and beginning to envision a life free of old habits. 

Storm’s Lunar Phase Action Guide:

New Moon:    This is the initial phase or seed level.   When making resolutions it is best to have a plan, and the best way to incorporate a plan is for you to write it down.   Make a list of all the things you wish to change in your life.   During this phase, you can put down many different potential resolutions.  Do you wish to lose weight?  Do you want to spend less money?   Do you want to eat healthier foods?   It is my belief that writing things down create a relationship with the areas of your life that you would like to change.  According to Kabbalah, the eye is the most powerful organ in the human body, because it is the transmitter of information.  Writing things down is the first process in letting something go or giving something up.

First Quarter Moon:  This phase is about action.   Let’s make a plan!   For example, you plan to stop smoking.  How do you plan to go about this?   Are you going to stop cold turkey or are you going to use patches?   In addition, research (Google is an all powerful spirit guide) ideas to help you stick to your goal.   Use this for each of the areas that you wish to quit.

Full Moon:   This is the structure building phase.  Look at your list and your action plan.  Which one of these areas of your life do you wish to let go of?   I believe that to be successful at letting things go is to work at one thing at a time.   Make your choice!

Last Quarter Moon:  In astrology, this is considered the crisis in consciousness phase.   This is a time to turn away from the old unworkable structures and preparing to focus on the new.  I believe that this is another action phase.   During this phase (approx 6-9 days) you make your change.  You begin to become resolute, and you take all the information that you have used in the aforementioned steps, and apply them to your plan.  Be gentle with yourself, and remember the famous recovery phrase,  “One Day At A Time.” 

We all have areas of our lives we wish to change and work on.  However, many of us find it difficult to point to the calendar and vow to quit on a certain day.   Understanding that there is an astrological period where we can let go of the old and embrace the new is a comfort to many, who sincerely wish to make changes.   Focus on the area of your life you wish to change and use this energy cycle to finally succeed.   You have 7 more days – you can do it!
