New Moon in Cancer – June 23, 2017

The New Moon in Cancer will be exact at 7:30pm PDT tonight. The further east you are may find you sleeping through the partile moment when the Sun and the Moon come together; therefore, if you are going to set any intentions for this new cycle, you may want to do so before going to bed tonight. And since Cancer is a water sign, make sure that whatever you do, include some water. Cancer invented bathing, so have at it!

After all of this fire and air, we must take the expansion of the past month and incorporate it into our inner Being. Cancer is all about what happens behind closed doors. Who are you when no one is looking? What do you do in the privacy of your home to prepare yourself for your day? How to you handle moments when your feelings are hurt? What is your relationship to unforgiveness when it rises up out of your experience? Are you truly putting your needs first so that you can effectively care for others? These are the questions that the New Moon in Cancer is begging us to ask and answer.

The Mystic Rectangle and the Kite Formation that was created by the Sun and Mercury’s passage through Gemini is over. However, it is interesting to me that it is still being held in the cosmos by the placement of Ceres, an asteroid that is named for the Goddess of Grain. She is responsible for making sure that we are well fed. So, while the Sun, Mercury, Mars and the New Moon are asking the same question (how are you fed?) in a deeply personal and intimate way, the expansion of the past few months is still very much with us in an esoteric way (asteroids fall under esoteric astrology, simply meaning more subtle).

We must be feeding ourselves from a high level of consciousness in order to enjoy the benefits of that consciousness. This means everything you are putting into your body, everything you are exposing yourself to through media, social media and outside mental influences, the physical way you move your body through space (some form of exercise or even just basic movement) and the relationships you continue to cultivate with others in your life. This has never been more important for both your personal experience and the state of the Planet. Yes, the stakes are that high.

Pluto and Venus Trine each other as part of this New Moon. I LOVE when these two interact in this way. Pluto rules the Shadow and the Underworld. Venus is our Heart. When they are in harmony, we are comfortable with going into the depths where sometimes we are afraid to pass. You cannot afford to let fear move you these days. This does not mean you are not allowed to be afraid, but you must respond to fearful moments with a practice instead of indulging the sensation. Pluto and Venus in a Trine allows us the comfort to expose our underbelly in a way that Cancer also exposes us to. Though this is a tender lunation, we are courageous and ready to create from an extremely powerful place.

Neptune and Jupiter are still holding fast to this Inconjunct, the fork in the road where we get to use our spiritual connection to release blocks to receiving more Good in our lives. In fact, it is essentially in place till just before the Full Moon that’s just two weeks away, so this passage between New and Full Moon is very much about this practice. And if you don’t have any clarity about what this might be for yourself, pray in this way: “I am ready to have everything come up that needs to come up to be healed in order for me to receive the Good that is coming my way.” Then let the Cancer mansion guide you to a higher level of self-care than perhaps you have allowed yourself in the past. When your own House is in order, then you can attract the most amazing things in the outside world.

June 20, 2017

Mercury pulls into the place where the Sun just was, activating the Kite Formation along with the other delightful patterns that are currently forming this month. The peak today involves Mercury and Uranus in a Sextile, and so we are inventive, inspired and facile with our intellect. Flexibility is key right now, because this connection between the archetype of the Mind and the Great Awakener is often responsible for sudden changes in direction; new ideas that cause us to do things differently, and to do so quite suddenly. If you have a notion (or one comes toward you) that seems outlandish this week, just go with it and see where it takes you.

This week’s big news is, of course, the Summer Solstice, that moment when we are basking in the most Light our consciousness has to offer. It is marked by the Sun crossing the demarcation of the zero-degree point of the sign of Cancer, which happens this evening at 9:25pm PDT (so tomorrow in EDT and points east). It is less of an event and more of a marker, but it is quite significant in our solar cycle, where this season could be considered the In Breath of the Planetary Being. In this way, anything that happens as we prepare to cross this threshold has great significance.

Yesterday, I caught you up with regard to the Neptune station, and the Inconjunct between he and Jupiter, the Great Expander. Jupiter is only days out of his recent retrograde and both of these planets are standing still in the sky where they are, which puts them in their most objective and powerful stance. Neptune, which rules our spiritual nature, is turned within, where he can do the most profound work on our inner experience. Jupiter has just turned around and is facing the outer world, where his capacity to create Abundance can finally start having some impact in the world of form. In the Great Eliminator angle, they are holding a pattern through which we are all invited to use our spiritual nature to drop absolutely EVERY limiting thought to what we are capable of producing in the world. This is a moment – by letting go of blocks – to step more into a sense of deserving, of actually receiving all that we can at this level of our development.

Therefore, it is quite a blessing that Venus in her home sign of Taurus (and earth sign very much connected to what we create here in the world of form) is creating a Finger of God with these two heavy hitters today. If you re-read yesterday’s post, you will notice that I wrote briefly about Venus and Taurus also in an Inconjunct, setting us up to let something go. Today, Venus pulls into the other geometry that creates a Finger of God, with a Sextile to Neptune. Our Hearts are in perfect alignment with our connection to Spirit. The Moon in Taurus drives this home to an even greater experience. Both the lower and upper octaves of Love are operating in great productivity, making this a wonderful day.

There is plenty of challenge built into the day that should balance things out from all of this extraordinary expansion. Firstly, any time we are faced with choices and forks in the road, we are subject to the grief that emerges when we leave things behind. Mercury Squaring Chiron will keep us plenty aware of anything that seems like it might hurt a bit. And an agitation between Mars and the Nodes means that as we move from the past and into the future (which all of these other transits are designed to help us do), this geometry assures us that the road will have plenty of bumps in it to remind us exactly how life works. We make our best choices when we are confronted with things that no longer serve us. Resistance is part of the mechanism, so stop judging how you resist. And then let the natural rhythm of contraction/expansion do its perfect work.

Mercury Conjuncts the Sun at zero degrees of Cancer tomorrow – tune back in for more on that with tomorrow’s post.

We use the same word to describe the mystical phenomenon that happens during sleep and the aspirations that we hold for our unfolding lives. I had a dream. I have a dream. Additionally, we are told of a spiritual principle that invites us to view life itself as a dream, unfolding magnificently in a way that reflects the notion that anything can happen and probably will.

I have noticed that the idea of lucid dreaming is gaining more traction out there in the zeitgeist. When we become more consciously aware of our dreaming experience while we are sleeping, the more we can bring that conscious awareness to our dream-like waking life and the aspirations that we hold dear as we create our magnificent futures. I feel quite blessed to have devoted my practice to holding the dream as sacred and powerful. And never before has it been quite so clear that we must treat all three of these dream states with the exact same reverence.

There is a mystical text that most people in the Western world are quite familiar, even if they don’t recognize it as a mystical text. I committed it to memory when I was about three years old. It goes like this: “Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream!” This may sound like I am trying to be funny or clever, but truly, this is a piece of wisdom that we all learned at a very young age and everything you need to know about how life works is held within these four lines.

As you might imagine, it is the last line that interests me the most, as life is indeed but a dream we are dreaming up as we go along our way. However, the entire piece can be interpreted to both understand the journey on a deep and profound level. At the same time, doing so can offer insight into the principles of interpretation that inform all of the work that I do in my own spiritual practice and that which I teach to others.

One of the most powerful tools in interpreting a symbol is the principle of implication. Much like a detective surveying a scene for clues, the landscape of an image offers an enormous amount of information. Firstly, we recognize that we are on a journey as represented by being in a boat on a stream. This is symbolic of how we are to move through life. It is, ultimately, a navigation of emotional territory for water represents the emotional body and a stream is a small current, individual-sized flowing of water, much like our individual selves. When we connected in large numbers, we form a river and we are all heading toward the ocean of the collective. When examined more closely, we are part of the ne3ver-ending cycle of water flowing, evaporating, being redistributed to flow again. The stream is the fluctuating path that our life is to take and the boat we are in connects to our individuated sense of self.

We are given an instruction right off the bat. We are to row. We do the rowing and we are to row our own boat. Not each other’s. Not someone else’s boat; just your own. Row YOUR boat. And there is going to be some effort involved. How do we know this? The instruction is repeated three times. Clearly, there is going to be some effort involved.

Now just in case we are overwhelmed by all that rowing, we are given a powerful qualification. Several in fact. The first one I’ll point out is that we are moving down stream. It won’t always feel like it, but we are to know that even when the going is the most strenuous, we are still going down stream. To me, this is akin to the principle that consciousness is always expanding and that everything that occurs happens for your benefit. Even when it looks like anything but this, the truth still remains. We are expanding at every moment of the journey. And it’s a gentle ride, which is a very clear suggestion to lighten up and go with the flow. Row gently. Stop fighting. Resistance is pointless. When it doubt, choose the gentle path.

And here is my favorite part. It’s supposed to be fun. We are told to do all that we do with a sense of merriment. This is such an important principle it is given a lot of emphasis. It is repeated four times; one more merrily than there are rows. That means no matter how hard it gets, it’s STILL supposed to be more joyful than effortful. It’s supposed to fun, so do everything you can to cultivate joy.

And of course, the best part of all. Life is but a dream. And what are the qualities of a dream? It is a magical landscape in which anything can happen and probably will. It is a time when we are profoundly creative, causing the seemingly impossible to happen just by using the power of our thought. It is a state in which we get to see our blatant humanity while simultaneously becoming acquainted with our precious divinity.

This is one of the biggest weeks, astrologically speaking, of this entire year. If you were to read back over my daily posts posts throughout this time (see Daily Astro Alerts for info about my daily subscription), you would absolutely recognize in my words an enormous sense of hope and delight in the expansion of consciousness that is happening RIGHT NOW.

And then we are asked to do the near-impossible. Our world demands that we incorporate into this idea of things getting bigger and better something so senseless and tragic. How could a world so filled with Good contain something so Evil? Does this terrible act mean that we are wrong to say that consciousness is unfolding toward more Light?

Remember that when the Light increases, the Shadow becomes long, sharp and very very clear. And so here we are, basking in the ever-increasing Light and there is the Shadow, revealing itself with a clarity that grows exponentially. Each of us has a role in moving toward and dissolving that Shadow. I believe that it happens for the Planetary Being at the level of the individual and so I devote my entire life to that process. I do this because I know who I Am.

Your job is to find your way and do it. Do it publically. Or privately. In the classroom, or perhaps at the grocery store. Possibly you usher in Peace for Humanity in the pages of your journal, or maybe you turn your pen toward writing your congressperson. Maybe you are an activist who shouts words of protest at the top of your lungs, or it could be that you are the sensitive empath who stays home and weeps for the pains of a world gone mad.

THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO DO THIS. And there is no escaping your responsibility to find your way and do it with all your might. When in doubt, start right where you are, inside your own consciousness where your Heart and Mind are probably still at war with each other. Find Peace there, and it will reflect out into the world and begin to bring it on a global level; incrementally and irrevocably over time.

The Summer Solstice is coming and this year it is accompanied by a rare second Full Moon in the sign of Sagittarius. If that weren’t enough, there are three MAJOR planetary transits that are exact on the very same day. This is an unprecedented moment in the course of 2016 and it bears taking notice in a very conscious manner.

So much is going on this year and it is all happening in layers and increments, with retrograde after retrograde causing delays, and things unfolding in anything but a linear course. This download will ground and help navigate you in this very powerful month and in the months to come. Some of the topics covered in this 60-minute MP3 recording are:

• The expansion from Jupiter and the North Node!
• Pluto in Capricorn Trining Jupiter and the North Node, creating yet MORE change.
• A Mutable Grand Cross, an exact Square in the cosmos implying endings and yes, more change!
• Mars completing his retrograde cycle!
• Powerful New Moons in August and September!
• Crucial Mercury Retrograde cycle in Virgo in September!

March 21, 2016

The Moon is still in Virgo so the perspective that I described yesterday that this archetype is the one responsible for integration of new information and expanding wisdom applies to today as well. In fact, even more so today, because the lunar aspects include a Conjunction to Jupiter and a Trine to Pluto. If you look back to the post for March 16th, you will see how much emphasis this particular passage has by virtue of the connection between these two planets by Trine. That enormous energy is triggered by the Moon which makes today, though otherwise somewhat quiet, fairly important in the scheme of things. We are changing at very deep levels and expanding in hidden ways that will reveal themselves in the months to come. There may be some progress in those narratives for some of us today, whether they are obvious or not (many things right now are happening behind the scenes.

There is another importance to that day through the principle of rulership. Mercury, the planet that is the archetype of the Mind, has rulership over two signs; Gemini and Virgo. What this means is that any time the Moon is in either of these air signs, there is more emphasis placed on what Mercury is doing, if anything. At 5:30pm PDT this evening, Mercury will cross the same birth canal threshold between Pisces and Aries that the Sun traversed yesterday.This passage is an important part of the wormhole that we are in building to Wednesday’s eclipse and it carries even more weight because this change of signs happens under the light of the Virgo Moon. We are giving birth to a new landscape; a new Self, a new world. We all have an enormous responsibility in this to know who we are the gifts that we bring so that we can impact the world at this time of crisis.

Remember that there was a rare configuration of Mercury, the South Node and Chiron, all at the 22nd degree of Pisces back on March 17th. That began a process of diving into the depths (Pisces) for information (Mercury) that is part of our healing (Chiron) and processing the past (South Node) that is leading us toward a great releasing as part of the Full Moon on Wednesday. Mercury is the guidance system and when he moves out of the watery realm of Pisces and into the fiery charge that is Aries, he is likely to be bringing with him some valuable guidance, inspiration and information with him. Starting tonight and tomorrow, look for insights, flashes and material designed to help you do just that.

It’s a big week, with Wednesday being the pinnacle of what has been a pretty intense passage. Let the next few days guide you; keep your eyes and ears wide open.

TOTAL Solar Eclipse March 8th!
Lunar Eclipse March 23rd!

The first round of eclipses are coming and this coming wormhole is truly one of the most important passages of our time. Jupiter’s placement in Virgo is not only a game changer in terms of helping us manifest the life of our desires, his EXACT opposition to the total Solar Eclipse in just a few days is wildly fortuitous. How you approach your life during these next weeks could have an enormous impact on your future, so make sure you are well prepared.
