Astrology

July 29-August 4, 2013

Astrology is a picture of the heavens and our energy relationship to the heavens, and the planets relationship of energy to us.  Everything is made up of energy and energy is our teacher.  This week begins with a powerful alignment of potent planets lining up. A six pointed star is forming in the cosmos, with us on the Earth at the center. The key is opening ourselves up to our better intentions.  Of course there’s the inner work that’s needed to do to harness these energies to your maximum benefit.

Question like these may be answered for you during this week:
Who am I to play this big?  Why would anyone listen to me? What if I fail?  What if I succeed? What will people think of me?

Humanity is transitioning to its next level of development. Our relationship to everything is highly relevant on this planet as is our inner relationship to ourselves, and how our self expression shows up in our outer lives.  Being Unique (just because that’s who you are and not just to be noticed), Authentic, Courageous, Fearless, Allowing, and Loving will lead us through this intense transition, with the key note on being as Fearless as possible.

These certainly are adventurous times and courage is allowing ourselves to go for what will bring us into that alignment with who we came here to be and giving service from our gifts on this planet.

Monday, July 29th throughout the day the planets are shifting into a 6 pointed star position.  Imagine two triangles interlocking, one upside down to create a six pointed star. Each of these points on the triangle holds a planet that is interfacing with all the other planets.  Venus the planet concerned with the energies of friendship, love, beauty, peace, and finances, is one point of one triangle, connecting to Pluto governing transforming, endings, rebirth, purging and holding power. These 2 planets Venus and Pluto are connected to the Moon; which expresses its energies regarding family, history, food, and our soft spots the emotions and sensitivities in life.

This flow of energy can bring out intense emotions/feelings. Everything has 2 ways of looking at it, 2 possibilities; because we a living on the Earth.  This is a dual planet. Meaning: we can’t have up without down, in without out, ugly without beautiful, Divine, evil, positive thoughts, negative thoughts just to name a few.  These energies of the planets can signify a clearing out, a release of pain and negativity and they can feel strong, intense, palpable, as well as having a powerful healing to your emotional self. You can finish up and be done with something. Timing has so much to do with things in general.

As we personally cleanse, we collectively cleanse on the planet. And our planet is cleansing as well.  ‘As above so below as within so without’. When there is a transformation going on anywhere in our lives or on our planet herself, we have to step past history and create, moment by moment, a new way a new future. We can’t see the  whole picture.  It’s the mystery that we step into as we go one step at a time into the unknown with confidence and faith with a positive attitude.

The other triangle has fire action taking Mars and expansive Jupiter fused at one end, firing things up, expanding your courage and enthusiasm. With Neptune
at another point adding the ability to see great things, visualize, play the scene, or the opposite end of it: confusion and/or doubt which clouds your vision. but Neptune is where you can go for it act, play and believe in your dreams, and envision your highest reality. Or…have doubts and fears and deceive yourself about what’s needed or really going on.

Neptune is a direct line into other realms. It’s energies are more etheric: like a cloud or a mist. How do you hold on to a cloud or air? Neptunian energies delve into the Spiritual world, that of the formless.  It’s energies are intuitive and can give you great insights and where you feel more connected to Spirit.

Saturn is the other point of this triangle, Saturn is the reality check, slower in its movements, time always plays a part with the planet Saturn (we call it Father Time).  Saturn builds parameters and structures to take our ideas into form in the life, and its energies are utilized best when one is being a responsible person. Saturn’s energies are not comfortable with get rich quick schemes. Saturn is different than the risk taking expansive plans of Jupiter. This is a good combo, as it is Saturn that provides the tenacity to make big dreams come true. A good relationship towards Saturn, the task master, can help one become a millionaire.

This week will stretch us to work more on our deeper yearnings. Actually it might turn out that this week you work more than you may be hoping for. But Saturn helps you get to the point, the reason, for all this striving. You can feel satisfaction from working with the Saturian energies, because Saturn teaches us about time and patience. You can gain wisdom and respect and recognition for yourself. You can enjoy the fruits of your work and accomplishments no matter how big or small with Saturn.  Saturn keeps us grounded and gives one discipline.

The combination of these aspects propels us forward. Humanity is shifting from a warring fear based point of view. To a world that allows individuality and acceptance and support. With Uranus, speed will be evident with changes.  Uranus energies are combining in a difficult square aspect to Mars and Jupiter.  It’s more than likely that things start to heat up quickly.  There’s no grass growing under foot when Uranus, Mars and Jupiter get together.

If any of you know the Sacred Science of the Tarot: I liken this Mars Uranus energy to the 16th Major Arcana Card: The Tower Card.   Things might get heated with speed, and many times it’s what you least expect with the Tower, because you don’t see it coming, but this is necessary when these energies are in the limelight. It’s time has come. The Tower in a spiritual sense is the light bulb going off and clearing the debris from your life. False ideas and notions are broken up and you can become aware of the truth. Situations, people, and events, not any longer useful in your life are ready for a change, a cleaning out. It’s an awareness factor that comes into play with the Tower Card. You can’t miss it because it disrupts the energies that have to crumble and be cleared away for something better.

These energies combine for stepping into your power. Claiming your space. You may be feeling the pressure to step into a new world, a new beginning for yourself, while at the same time invested heavily in the status quo. Now you need to embrace your heart’s
desire. Admit what you want. Allow it to be known. Going with the flow, means letting go of your resistance and to an extent your old conditioning that has kept you back.  The ego is a master at keeping us to the old conditioning. It wants to keep us safe.  From the egos’ point of view it’s doing us a favor keeping us in our comfort zones and not growing. Then what sets in our lives is boring and boredom. Ho Hummm. Same ole, same ole, going nowhere.

These planets are saying we are conjoining to set you freeee. What can happen if we don’t answer to our call to be more of what we are capable? At that point we really feel stuck and psychosomatic disorders start to arise. Stress City!

On the positive side: The combination of Earth and Water energy of this star of David,
sextile aspect is perfect for growing things. Manifestation is heightened now. Visualize, What do you want to do, where do you want to live? And become more of that dream for yourself. Focus as much as possible, on envisioning where you choose to be. When you are going on a vacation you first have to pick a destination in order for you to get there. You need to know where you want to go or you are never going to get to a vacation destination.

This week is very important.  Live it consciously with as much awareness as possible.  It’s a good time for manifesting. Being aware of what is in need of change in your life is a good first step into moving forward. Then mustering the courage act on it. Keep asking yourself positive questions: The (what phrasing) type of questions are good to give your mind so your mind can respond to you with positive feedback answers. Example: What is the best decision for me regarding…What is the best way for me to…(fill in the blanks).

With Uranus Mars Jupiter you just might come to know your life purpose. You have a purpose to fulfill and when you clear the decks you are ridding yourself of obstacles and dissolving frustration to find the answers you have been desiring.

Have your paper and pencil ready, because on Sunday there will be an aspect between Uranus and the Sun that infuses you with courage, uniqueness, and sudden understanding. It will come to you quickly when it comes as in a flash.  It’s possible with its lightning speed that your insight might be gone as fast as it came. So be aware and ready to write down any important information you may receive. Inspired insights don’t hit you over the head and they don’t micro manage, so observe.  These insights come is peace and are subtle, like a hunch. Move on your hunches.

Inspired…ah hah! the light bulb of realization goes on and you suddenly are in the knowing, and you get flashes that can put it all together for you.. Puzzle pieces all fit together…completed. On Monday take the time to clarify your intentions while under the movement of harmonious sextile energy.  The Sextile aspects in astrology bring about opportunities in the life. It’s also the opportunity we open up to and work with. Be mindful every day this week what you are deciding for your life.  You do have choices. Choose wisely with forethought and patience to solidify your new journey. While on Mother Earth we do need to learn the right amount of patience, which brings to us humility and compassion….that’s growth.

There is a wrong amount of patience to have as well…when fear is behind it, where you stay stuck while deceiving yourself waiting for your ship to come in; while doing nothing or very little to get what you want. The right kind of patience is waiting for things to naturally unfold and not push things before they are ripe and ready. The right kind of patience is not needing to control everything by forcing the issue. Saturn gives us our boundaries.

Gratitude is the attitude to feel blessed. Gratitude is special and these are special times that can pour Divine Grace into your life.  There are no rations on Divine Grace.  So how many buckets of Divine Grace would you like to receive this week for your next upward level in life??

Fellow adventurer…planet Earth is a journey for sure as we evolve from within… outward!

Many Blessings,
