...for the children of the earth

Tuesday 31 July 2012

Hi everyone! Let’s take that stairway to heaven! This update is all about the Full Moon this week.
 
 
 
We’ve been travelling step by step along the pathway to freedom. The upcoming Full Moon in Aquarius opposite the Leo Sun is giving us a huge boost to activate our hearts and minds. The planetary configurations at this time are supporting these inner changes and preparing us for a big leap forward.
 
 
 
2nd August: Full Moon in Aquarius 1.27 PM AEST at 11 degrees Aquarius...a call to liberation and freedom! I am that I am!
This full moon is shining its light on our own personal essence, calling forth our radical individualism, what is unique to us, what has been hidden away inside us in some secret chamber.
 
 
Find your tribe...call them in: Wolves are pack animals, despite the ‘lone wolf’ image. It seems particularly appropriate at this time...our lone wolves have been developing our capacity love and acceptance in somewhat isolated situations...as we are being called into connecting with our ‘packs’, our soul families. 
 
Why am I here?: The Aquarius energy strengthens us with a true sense of self and an insight into our place in the world. With this Full Moon, we’re given glimpses of what we have to offer the world. 
 
Be unique and find your unique ‘tribe’: Aquarius energy is focussed on humanitarian concerns, communities, friendships. Think ‘soul family’. Aquarian energy offers us a sense of pride in being who we are and the inner strength to break the shackles that limit and confine us.
 
It’s time to say ‘Enough is enough!’
 
 
Come out and shine...no more fear:  
The Leo Sun gives us the courage to live our passion, to lead ourselves out of the woods!
 
The Leo Sun opposite the moon is supporting the Aquarian moon’s mission...being more of who you are and stepping up to the plate.
It is calling forth our willingness to shine the light on ourselves, to be willing to shine.
You don’t have to be an extrovert in the popular sense of the word, like the advertising images imply...‘Things go better with Coca Cola’, people jumping around acting happy. It’s about BEING content, self-contained, at peace with yourself.
 
 
 
Offload doubts and fears: This is about no ‘second-guessing’, ‘will I/won’t I’ conflicts. Are you ready to trust your inner guidance, inner voice? Have you broken with the patterns of the past that hold you in doubt and fear. It seems it’s time to clarify, gain focus and build resolution. Soon it will be time to test the water of our resolve. For now, build our strength, self-belief and throw off all the ‘false’ selves.
 
 
Waiting and watching, building strength and resolve: However, we are still in Mercury retrograde until 8th August, so the resolution of new directions is happening mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Allow the new developments in thinking and emotion to take form. Call in from the universe what you need to move on...and wait, trusting that all is well.
At the moment, many of us are in a void of nothing, with nothing significant on the horizon. We’re WAITING...remember that word???? And in the waiting time, we’re building our energies...strength, clarity, dedication, joy and passion.
We’re on the diving board, preparing ourselves to take the leap of faith when the time is right.
 
 
What’s happening with the planets at this Full Moon...playing together and firing us up!
It’s all fire and air energy and you know how fire and air work together. The mind and heart are being fired up, igniting us mentally and emotionally to bring together our own particular recipe for success and fulfilment in the world.
 
 
 
The Air trine, three air sign energies working together: 
liberating memories of past imbalances of the masculine/feminine, reunion and balance
 
The full Moon in Aquarius, Mars in Libra and Jupiter with the South Node of the Moon in Gemini
                        ...what does this gobbledygook mean????
 
 
Let’s float some new ideas! and work together!
 
The Moon...the feminine, intuitive, memory - in Aquarius...radical break through of the individual into humanity
Mars...the masculine, fiery warrior, driver of our own personal vehicle – in Libra...harmony and balance in relationships, inner/outer, masculine/feminine
South Node of the Moon...past energies of the collective – in Gemini...re-unification and reunion of the polarised energies, especially of the mind
 
 
 
The Fire trine, three fire sign energies working together: 
igniting passion, stimulating new courageous action to align with earth’s evolution 
 
The Sun with Mercury in Leo, Uranus in Aries, North Node of the Moon in Sagittarius
 
                          ...more gobbledygook???
 
 
 
Let’s fire the inner child with exciting ideas which resonate with the heart and call us in to expression in the wider world!
 
 
 
 
The Sun...the masculine, authentic self with Mercury...communication, movement – in Leo...passion, creativity, expression of true divine child self
Uranus...the awakener, the eccentric, the unique – in Aries...the courage and self belief to take action
North Node of the Moon...where we are currently developing as a collective – in Sagittarius...big picture, world view, wisdom, truth, crusader energy
 
 
Other planetary energies at this Full Moon:
 
More air energy with Venus in Gemini trining Saturn in Libra: Experience some karmic rebalancing of our divine feminine energy
Uranus continues to challenge Pluto, but at this time we have a bit of a reprieve as to the intensity of this energy as we had a couple of weeks back. They come back into an intense meeting in mid September.
 
 
 
The Sabian symbols from Cathy Pagano: http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/aquarius-new-moon-2012

  
The Sabian Symbol for the Moon at 11* Aquarius is: During a silent hour, a man receives a new inspiration which may change his life.


When our ego-consciousness quiets down and we listen inside, we can receive life-changing messages. We just have to believe in them, which doesn’t mean mindlessly following a message that goes against your deepest moral values. If our inner voice says ‘to kill’ – please check in a good therapist. But when a message comes to us that is centered in our personal values – not in the cultural values of state and church– then listen, for I’ve seen those messages change people’s lives. Sometimes these messages come to us in dreams and visions – so learn symbolic language to understand what messages are trying to come through.
 
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at 11* Leo is: Children play on a swing hanging from the branches of a huge oak tree.
This image suggests that we have to ‘become children again’ – (engage our imaginations) and hang and play, suspended on the great old traditions that have sustained us
 
 
PS. Please note that last update under Upcoming Dates had the incorrect degree of Full Moon...my error. The truth...the Full Moon is at 11 degrees
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
7th August: Venus moves into Cancer
8th August: Mercury goes direct
8th August: Lion’s stargate
 
 
 
That’s it for now. There’s so much happening, it’s difficult to simplify. The ‘bottom line’ is in the pictures and bold typeface, so you can ‘cut to the chase’.
 
 
 
Love and blessings

Sunday 29 July 2012


Hi everyone!
Welcome to the Lion’s Gate portal!
 
 
 
 
I felt the need to send out this information, although I know that many of you are already aware of this alignment. 
 
 
This year, the alignment carries extra weight as we wind down our ‘old’ lives, slowly dying off to the energies of this lifetime, experiencing the shifts and turns of the ongoing recalibration of our cellular structure, trusting that a process is underway which is bringing us to the new energy which will carry us forward into our new soul’s mission.
 
 
 
Tired? I know that many of us are experiencing endings, flatness, ongoing tiredness no matter how much sleep we’ve had.
 
No, it’s not sitting up watching the Olympics
 
 
 
 
 
The old passions, goals, stimulations cannot hold us as we reach for something more aligned with our hearts and minds. We don’t know what...yet! If you do know, well and good. Not all of us are going through these change processes.
You may have been experiencing the healing energies of chills, sweats.
 
We’re still in Mercury retrograde period, so take time to rest, contemplate, meditate, to be alone (if possible) and to really chill out. All we have to do is DIE...peacefully.
 
 
 
The Lion’s Gate Portal: Keep open heart’s and minds and allow the old to just ebb away...
We are now inside the solar month of Leo. The 23rd of July(AEST) marked the entry of the Sun into Leo until late August. We are now inside an earth portal known by the ancient Egyptians as the Lion’s gate.
The 25th/26th July this past week marked the end of 2012...by this ancient Egyptian calendar aligned with Sirius. According to Celia Fenn, who has been writing about this for years, we are completing our soul’s work this lifetime.
I certainly feel this ‘dying to the old’ energy is happening astrologically as we shift consciousness and recalibrate physically, moving towards the portal at the end of 2012, between 12.12.12 and 21.12.12.
The 8.8.2012 is regarded as a significant date within the month, the opening of the ‘lion’s gate’, a portal of energy available for the shifting of consciousness. This year, it’s also the date when Mercury moves direct at 1 degree Leo!!! A fresh start for our heart energy!
The Dog Days of August
The Lion's Gate is also known as "The Dog Days of August". It is said to be an activation portal, because of the energy generated by our Sun's alignment with the the Star Sirius, this has been regarded throughout ancient times.

The following is an article I found which pertains to the positioning of the sun and it's alignment with the Sirius star systems, during July 23rd to August 24th.
There are many other articles. If you (the reader) felt compelled enough - I'm sure you can do some googling on it yourself.

(1.) "The Lion's Gate is the most powerful stargate that activates Earth's energy field. It was known to the ancient Egyptians, and they celebrated their New Year on about the 26th of July. This celebration was marked in the skies by the "heliacal rising" of Sirius. This is the time when Sirius rises in conjunction with the early morning sun. It is visible as a bright star as the sun rises. It was an alignment of the sun and Sirius that was understood to be the herald for new life and abundance in Egypt..."

"This event is also concurrent with the movement of the Sun into the Fifth House of the Zodiac, Leo, the Solar sign of Creativity and Passion. This is why it is called the Lion's Gate. Leo, or the constellation of the Lion, guarded the entrance to the Sirius Stargate."
For further information, there is a 40 minute video clip from Celia Fenn in Latvia at: http://www.starchildglobal.com/
 
 
The star Sirius: This is the fixed star Sirius, the brightest star in our sky. It is known as the blue star because of it’s appearance and the ‘dog’ star because of it’s placement in the constellation ‘canis major’.
Lots of information on the net.
Of course, Wikipedia gives an outline of Sirius’ significance to some of our ancient societies and spiritual practices: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirius
Sirius is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major (Greater Dog).[12] The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt and the "dog days" of summer for the ancient Greeks, while to the Polynesians it marked winter and was an important star for navigation around the Pacific Ocean.

The colour blue: I thought that the Opening of the Olympic Games was interesting in the lighting...electric blue/turquoise(communication, peace, divine will). Then, lots of pink, shades of pink fireworks (unconditional love) Also, the golden, fiery yellow shades we associate with fire and Leo energy(heart’s desire, passion). Colour brings energy into our beings. Check out aura soma some time. http://www.aura-soma.net/index.asp?Q=peace_to_all_beings_may_they_be_well_and_happy_and_free_from_fear_peace_to_all_beings_may_they_be_well_and_happy_and_free_from_fear&BT=1&PT=1&BG=00&PID=33&SID=2&ST=1&LID=1
 
 
 
 
The Aquarius Full Moon comes in on 2nd so will be mailing out within a day or two...all being well.
As always, love and blessings to all,

New Moon in Cancer 19th July 2012

Hi everyone! Do you want to play a game???
The theme for the coming month is ‘Coming Home’...to yourself...to life!!!
 
 
 
 
Golden Oldies:
John Denver: ‘Country roads take me home to the place I belong’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oN86d0CdgHQ
Simon and Garfunkel: ‘Homeward Bound’
‘Homeward Bound,
I wish I was,
Homeward Bound,
Home where my thoughts escaping,
Home where my music’s playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me’
 
 
 
What’s been happening?...Coming and going like the Cheshire Cat!
Lots of endings, dying off of ‘the old’ energies as we reacclimatise after the eclipses of May/June. Yes, they brought endings and the promise of beginnings. We’ve been coming and going like the proverbial Cheshire cat! Where do we begin and end??? What’s going and what’s coming???
The physical recalibration has been continuing and the masculine energy is continuing to be a healing focus until the end of July. Hopefully it hasn’t been as challenging for you since Mars moved into Libra on 3rd July. See attached article ‘On Purpose’ for more info on the recalibration.

13th July: Uranus retrograde in Aries –
from 8 back to 4 degrees until mid December...
awakening to a new perspective...freedom!
Uranus has only just gone retrograde until December this year...a good stretch of time when Uranus wakes us up to new perspectives, a more evolved vision! New solutions to old problems are highly likely...if we listen.
Uranus is radical, rebellious energy and is here to help us break out of the confines of our limited thinking and fixed obsessional one-tracked living!
Uranus calls us to find our unique selves, what is particularly peculiar to us, what sets us apart from the masses. This is the jewel in our own personal crown, the jewel which is our guiding light to finding success, fulfilment and abundance on all levels of existence. Uranus in Aries is giving us the courage to dare to be different, to walk to the beat of our own drum. Are you ready???
 
Tune in to your very own ‘field of dreams’:
Retrograde energy is calling us to wake up,
 look at ourselves and listen to the higher mind of Uranus!
 
Our ‘field of possibilities’ floats ‘out there’ in the universe awaiting our attention. Each balloon of an idea is ours to take hold of when the time is right. We don’t have to fulfil all these possibilities, or to act on them all at once. These next few months, whilst Uranus is retrograde, we’re being invited to tune in to our heart’s desire as manifesting in our divine mind.
Just reach up and grab hold of ‘the balloon of possibility’ which beckons, which is the most insistent...and bring it down to earth. One possibility will lead to another!
 
Be spontaneous! Dare to feel excitement and exhilaration: Aries energy wants us to take action with resolution, vigour and speed! However, in the retrograde period, especially the next 3 weeks of Mercury retrograde, it is best to channel the fiery urgency into passionate commitment and to expand and grow the idea. It will take off when the time is right...maybe even immediately.
 
 Be prepared for the unexpected, sudden changes and disruptions to the status quo...both personally and globally!
The Uranus/Pluto square which is an ongoing disruptive influence, on and off till 2015, is breaking down barriers of resistance to change for the better. Established ways of living and established systems of business and government are being broken down so that more equitable systems of management can be initiated. It’s a long term process.
 
15th July: Mercury retrograde in Leo
until 8th August 12.16 pm 
Time seems to slow down...
patience, calm, go with the flow! Let’s play!
It may seem as though just as we’ve started to get things moving we get a Mercury retrograde period which slows us down a little...however, this is likely to be a good time to review, reconsider, contemplate the current course of action.
You’re likely to find this Mercury retrograde period more auspicious than irritating as it’s getting us in touch with the child energy, creativity and romance. With Mercury extending its time in Leo until early September, we have the time and energy to devote to creative pursuits.
 
An ideal time for reviewing, completing, polishing creative projects: With Mercury retrograde in Leo, this could be an auspicious time for digging out creative projects which have been on the back burner, in the filing cabinet, put aside to be completed later.
 
 
 
Mercury in Leo...writing/communicating with child-centred themes will benefit: Creativity is the order of the day. In particular, projects involving communication of all kinds, children’s writing and/or child centred creative projects.
 
Romance: Also, the likelihood of past romantic interests to be revisited, whether physically, emotionally or spiritually. Plenty to talk about with romantic interests. Possibility of work on romantic writing...review writing pieces/stories in the romantic style.
 
 
Influence on communication, travel, technology, plans, arrangements, commerce:
...pigeon post applies!...Keep calm, remain aware...double check all arrangements, vehicles, machinery, technology, conversations etc etc etc!
Communication – miscommunications, arrangements, meetings
Mechanical – possible breakdowns
Technological hitches, breakdowns
Travel – delays, confusion, traffic jams
Commerce – delays, hitches
If there were ever a Mercury retrograde period to look forward to, this is it as Mercury will be very well aspected throughout most of the retrograde period
Retrograde Mercury in Leo will be particularly helped by Mars in Libra and Uranus in Aries which is great news for Mercury-ruled Geminis and Virgos who have been battered for 8th months by Mars prolonged transit through Virgo. Minds (Mercury) will be innovative (Uranus) and creative (Leo). People will think (Mercury) courageously (Mars). Ideas will be fresh, with Gemini and Virgo leading the way.
All the regular cautions apply. Don’t sign papers if possible, etc. Do go back and touch up any written work, chat with your neighbors (Mercury) or their children (Leo). Experiment (Uranus) creatively (Leo), especially in the realm of writing and communication. Mars is involved here so those who exert themselves will make the most of the period.
The first two weeks of the retrograde period are best. Jupiter and Venus are also in Mercury-ruled Gemini so all the thinkers out there – rejoice!
19th July: New Moon in Cancer 26 degrees 55 Cancer 2.24 pm AEST
...at home and at ease! 
Birthing our emotional selves into a new energy!
             Come home to you!
The moon is all about emotions, particularly significant at this New Moon as the Moon rules Cancer. New Moons are always about a fresh start for the next month and for the next year in terms of the Cancerian energy. Yes, in terms of the lunar month, we are still working with the nurturing ‘mothering’ energy being called to get in touch with those energies...people, places, experiences...which nurture us, which nourish us and bring us to live fully in our own lives.
 
 
Questions arising at this New Moon are concerned with a sense of belonging: Do you belong in your life???
Are you at home with yourself? your life? family? physical home? general sense of wellbeing?
 
What energies do you need to encourage, contact, incorporate which will bring a deep, abiding joy and sense of wellbeing? These are energies which ENERGISE you!
 
Which energies need to be released over the coming month/year? These are the energies which deplete us, drag us down, drain us of life force.
 
The more we contact the energising forces, the easier it is to let go of the depleting energies. So the emphasis now is on bringing in the new energies and new ideas!
 
 
New Moon squaring/challenging Saturn in Libra: the impetus to bring harmony and balance into home and partnerships!
Come home to yourself!
This New Moon is really going to call us home to ourselves and to bring harmony, peace, love and balance back to our lives. 
Saturn is insistent and in Libra, is demanding karmic justice and balance be restored to ourselves and to the planet. Saturn completes its 2 plus years in Libra in early October. The push for justice(Libra) in relationships of all kinds, both personally and globally, has been demanding and intense as Saturn brings us to accept personal responsibility and to take our authority in the world.
This next few months will see the planetary forces offering us ways and means for us to step up to the plate and take new directions which will fulfil ourselves and our planetary evolution. Note how many ‘injustices’ in the world are being put right and will continue to do so. For example, Lindy Chamberlain, Schapelle Corby. Watch out for Julian Assange resolution!
The page ‘Uranus Retrograde’ has a paragraph on Saturn moving into Scorpio. I will be writing more on this as the time gets closer.
 
 
 
 
At the New Moon: Mars triggering the Uranus/Pluto square...issues of personal and universal power and energy are brought to the fore! WAKE UP TO YOU!
Expect to feel the fire in the belly as new insights and possibilities are ignited, exploding the illusions and myths of the past and catapulting us into the dimension called ‘our authentic, passionate selves’!
 
 
 
There will be an urge and impetus to take immediate action. If it’s about creative projects, good. Insights could well involve partnerships and resolving imbalances in partnerships of all kinds...marriage, friendship, business. This could well relate to your place of employment, relationship to employer and the nature of your work. With Mercury retrograde in Leo, the inner child is calling us to PLAY. This is a positive energy calling us out of the forest of darkness. Just take your time with taking drastic action. Any possibilities/opportunities are not going away!
 
 
 
 
The Sabian symbol for the Sun and Moon at 27* Cancer is: A violent storm in a canyon filled with expensive homes. This symbol refers to a confrontation between our social norms and Nature. This kind of intense energy can destroy superficial, materialistic world-views which are out of alignment with Nature. And it reminds us that as we face the karmic crisis of a depleted environment and a soul-less society, we have to change our values - or rather, begin to live by those values we say we believe in. Our expensive houses and comfortable way of life will do us no good unless we work with Nature, and our own human nature, not against her.
 
22nd July: Sun moves into Leo at 8.01 pm AEST... Time to lighten up! Time to play! Our ‘child’ calls ‘Come out, come out, wherever you are!’
The Sun rules Leo, so at this time of year, the Sun’s energy is enhanced and enlivened. It’s all about creativity, children, romance. Leo time is such a change from Cancerian energy of the last month where we’ve been saturated in the emotions, the emotional energy of the mothering/self-mothering energy, issues of emotional security, the home and the childhood memories. Cancer challenges us to go deep whereas Leo calls us to fire up the playful, joyful inner child.
 
 
This Leo time will work beautifully with Mercury (communication) retrograding through Leo as anything to do with lighthearted communication, communication with, for or about children, is enhanced. Also, romantic communication/connections can be positively reviewed, ‘rewritten’(from the past) re-communicated.
Even with Mercury retrograde, Leo puts a positive spin on everything!
On a personal level, it’s time to SHINE the light on yourself and uncover your deepest and most cherished desires...what brings you JOY!
 
 
See yourself as that child saying ‘this is ME!’
Songs for Leo time: ‘May the Long Time Sun’, Snatam Kaur...
Also, for the inner child: ‘The Sun shines on everyone’, Snatam Kaur... about 8 to 9 minutes, but great pics of children!
New Pages to the right:
‘Uranus Retrograde’- astrologer Salvador Russo..lengthy but captures the essence of upcoming changes
‘On Purpose’ – Lauren Gorgo...reinforces much of what has been written above, aligning with the astrological forces of next few months!
Upcoming Dates:
2nd August: Full Moon in Aquarius 1.27 PM AEST at 17 degrees Aquarius
7th August: Venus moves into Cancer until 7th September
8th August: Mercury moves direct in Leo
That’s it for the time being everyone!
Slow down a a little, take your time with everything, reconsider, review and regroup...take a breather! And PLAY!!!
 
Love and blessings to all
