Hi everyone! I'm alive!
What’s been happening to us: Stripped to the
bones!
In the light of the Scorpio Sun,
we’ve been in the energy of forgiveness, release, letting go, transformation of
the past, transmutation of memories in body, mind and spirit. Since the Sun
moved into Scorpio on 23rd, then meeting up with Saturn, we’ve been in the
throes of karmic cleansing which is intense, focussed and sharply cutting
through blockages in our mental, emotional, physical and astral bodies.
Karma is being lifted. cleared, balanced personally and
collectively! Revelations and ‘decloakings’ are happening for individuals and
institutions around the world. No-one can escape the scrutiny and demand for
truth that is happening. The tower of false beliefs is collapsing and crumbling
for us all.
It’s a blessing for all of us who have been ‘seekers of the truth’,
even if it’s painful. It’s nothing compared to the pain in which we have been
living for too long. We’re being called to show our ‘true colours’, with
courage, conviction, faith, love and compassion.
The Global and Public Arena in a spin cycle of change:
Around the world, public figures are being exposed for their ethics and
philosophy, whether in truth or deception, whether rooted in love or hate,
whether empowering or disempowering.
In England, the revelations around Jimmy Saville as a paedophile,
is just one instance. Politicians in the Australian parliament are being
stripped bare, exposing personal and party politics for all to see. Media
moguls and reporters/shock jocks on radio are losing their footing as reporting
standards, language used and biases are brought into public view.
The American election has brought forward allegations of long held
secrets to be revealed. Will there be revelations before the
election???
This ‘stripping down’ to the bones of people, governments and
institutions is set to continue for a few more years. Divine justice will be
done and truth will be served! This goes for us all, so ‘fess up if needed,
even if just to yourself.
Freedom calls: We’re
in the valley of forgiveness and transmutation of the old energies under the
Scorpio Sun! We’ve been bathing in the fields of lavender, the violet flame of
forgiveness and freedom, of letting go of so much struggle, pain and heartache.
As we release the forgiveness and heal our hearts, we open to the
gift of love and abundance on all levels of our being. We’ve been clearing the
way for this week’s Full Moon in Taurus, opening to receive from Mother Earth!
The blockages must go for us to receive our full personal bounty for this
lifetime!
The cells in our bodies have been transmuting into love and
wholeness, letting go of the resentment, bitterness, anxiety, fear, worry and
insecurities which have plagued our earthly existences. And in doing so, washing
ourselves in the violet light of freedom, we are ripening like juicy grapes on
the vine, ready for harvesting at the Full Moon this week!
No, we won’t be dried up sultanas, raisins or currants...but plump
juicy, fresh grapes ready ripe for picking!
What’s coming in:
29th October: Venus into
Libra 12.04 am AEST until 22nd November...take time out to enjoy the pleasure
and joy of life.
Venus rules Libra and is always focused on ‘love
and marriage’, partnerships of all kinds. It’s also concerned with peace,
harmony, justice and balance. Venus represents the feminine energy. With
Saturn in Libra these past three years, we’ve become familiar with balancing of
the masculine/feminine within us and our lives as well as in mass
consciousness.
Who ate that apple of that tree????!!! It’s a
wonderful time to experience the joy of love, despite any challenges which, I
feel, will be resolved with greater ease and peace for those of us who know the
routine, us old souls who are here for purpose, to put an end to the ‘apple’
debate, once and for all!
Fruit of the Goddess: The apple has
associations in ancient mythology both positive and negative, but is often
associated with Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. Are you ready to taste the
sweetness of love which comes from a balanced and harmonious relationship with
yourself as well as your partner. It’s time to do the ‘tender talk’ that comes
from a true heart. Get out of your ‘closet’ of separation and embrace love. The
orchard awaits.
Apples are brimming with symbolic
meanings and mythic associations. In China they represent peace, and apple
blossoms are a symbol of women's beauty. In other traditions, they can signify
wisdom, joy, fertility, and youthfulnessFrom: http://www.mythencyclopedia.com/Fi-Go/Fruit-in-Mythology.htmlApple.
Trouble in the orchard? When Venus moves into
Libra, it comes into opposition/challenge with Uranus in Aries (the radical
reformer in the masculine sign of leadership and individualism), with Pluto in
Capricorn squaring off/challenging them both.
What does all this astro gobbledygook mean???
Venus in partnership with Mercury finds the voice of peace
and harmony to express in the world: Mind and heart united! Well, it
seems to me that Venus is being called out of her Libran closet to find her
voice in the world as she’s aligned positively with Mercury. He moves into
worldly Sagittarius within the same day which means they are united by positive
energy working together. Mercury in Sagittarius wants to talk with the world
and everyone in the world. The message will come from Venus with her desire for
beauty, unification of masculine/feminine, peace, harmony and
justice.
Storming the Bastille...Uranus in Aries wants to
storm the battlements and rip down any structures, ideas etc. not serving higher
purpose and evolution. Uranus is urging Venus to take action with all her
feminine energies, challenging her to step forward. Uranus will do it anyway as
change and sudden, unexpected forces are his weapons of mass destruction. In
Aries, he’s got the fire in the belly!
Venus in Libra wants peace at all costs, yet also wants
justice. Uranus is stirring her to take action as his goal is
freedom! Mercury is holding her hand. She wants peaceful, harmonious change
which brings justice for all.
Venus takes to Facebook and Twitter: Peaceful
revolution is at hand and is likely to come through words, mass media and the
world wide web. Mass media has been getting a makeover for a couple of years
and is still in the process of being cleansed, realigned and reformulated. It’s
a play off between mainstream media (Sagittarius) and social media (Gemini)
after two years of eclipses and nodes in these signs. We still have an eclipse
in Gemini in November and one in Sagittarius next June.
Stay tuned for more changes.
Truth will out!
Pluto in Capricorn is interested in slow, steady and
thorough change: Already turning ‘the establishment’ inside out, with
the help/challenge of Uranus, Pluto is the deep undermining force within the
systems and structures seeking renewal and change. It’s slower moving than
Uranus, but makes sure the job is done thoroughly. This is the breaking down of
dogma, rules and the status quo within us and in the wider world. It’s a
purifying, cleansing energy.
Bottom line...Committee of three to bring about positive
peaceful change: With this line-up, all three planets, Venus, Uranus
and Pluto want it their way but are within an arrangement where they have to
work together in a unifying force if anything is to be achieved. Think of it as
a committee who have a brief and must work together. Any conflict between them
is to work to their advantage for a positive outcome.
Personally, activation of the urge to speak up for harmony
and justice: We’re likely to feel some relief with these energies,
even though there are conflicts, as Venus has
Mercury’s help, so minds and hearts are united. Again, we are finding our inner
feminine voice and preparing to speak...if not already doing this. The
‘speaking’ may be verbal or written, private or public, in social or mainstream
media, to yourself or with others. The power of words in liberating the heart
is extremely powerful and will possibly erupt suddenly with Uranian energy
and/or go deeply to the core of an issue like a Plutonian
depth charge. Remember, it may all be a ‘conversation’ within you,
laying ghosts of heart pain to rest.
29th October:
Mercury into Sagittarius 5.18 pm AEST until 14th November...everyone’s talking,
but is it their ‘truth’???
It’s all systems go until we close in on the 7th November when
Mercury retrogrades for 3 weeks. From 15th November to 12th December, Mercury
will be back in Scorpio.
We’re already in Mercury’s retrograde shadow which means we are
already slowing down to some extent. However, Mercury in Sagittarius may find us
saying things in the heat of the moment, foot in mouth disease is likely to take
hold. Watch out. If you have to eat some humble pie, then it’s a great dessert
for growth!
Ethics is ‘in’!: But the arrival of Mercury,
winged messenger in the sign of Sagittarius, a fiery, big picture worldly
energy, means communication and commerce will take on a big picture, worldly
‘spin’. Higher wisdom, philosophy, spirituality and ethics, will take on an
expanded dimension. Sagittarius rules foreign connections/travel so expect the
communication in mass media, world wide web to be a major focus for this time,
whether under the microscope or as a means of getting at the truth. In
Sagittarius, people join together for causes across the world and become
spiritual crusaders for the ethical revolution.
Stay tuned to your inner compass:
Expect
conversation/communication both personally and publicly to be under the
microscope for truth and ethical content. Are we aligned with our integrity or
selling ourselves short, selling out/ ‘prostituting’ ourselves. If a commercial
venture is not aligned with who you are, watch out, as you may be tripped up.
This whole next couple of months through Mercury retrograde period
until the end of the year, will be a huge clearing house for ethics and truth
for everyone. Nothing to fear, providing we check in with our inner compass,
called ‘the soul’, higher self. Keep taking the high road!
30th October:
Full Moon in Taurus at 6.49 am AEST at 6
degrees 48 Taurus
...let go and allow yourself to receive!
The moon is exalted in Taurus, which means it’s operating at its
peak. Taurus is earth energy and is very much aligned to the Mother Earth
energy as it’s ruled by Venus. This full Moon, allow yourself to take in the
fullness of Mother Earth’s love as you wash clean of the Scorpionic past!
Taurus rules worth, self-worth, values and is
directly related to personal resources, including gifts and talents and capacity
to bring personal values into earthly manifestation. Taurus rules attitudes and
values about money which tie in with earning capacity, moneys earned through
work.
This full moon is about letting go of anything
that blocks your self-worth, your sense of worthiness and entitlement to having
a full, meaningful and joyful life on earth. Clear the space for feeling love
and allowing the Taurean abundance.
The Sun in Scorpio opposes the Full Moon, the two
major ‘bodies’ of our solar system coming into challenge and balance all at the
same time. We need to accommodate equally the inner challenge of Taurus,
accepting the abundance of the earth and our entitlement to that abundance. As
well, we need to embrace the Scorpio Sun which asks us to let go, ‘die’,
surrender, prune and release all ‘baggage’ from the past.
Keep opening the closet doors and let yourself shine: How
many closet doors need opening...find your unclaimed selves and live a full
life!
You couldn’t have a better message from Taurus than ‘do what you
love, what you excel at and the money will follow’. Don’t expect Taurus
energies to act quickly. It’s like Mother Earth, aligned with the cosmic cycles
and planetary movements.
Be true to yourself and take your authority:
However, Saturn is working with the Sun, helping us to be true to who
we are and to strip away any false energies, fake personas. Saturn close to the
Sun at this time is activating us to take our authority (Saturn) in the world
(the Sun).
Karmic release: Saturn rules karma. With Saturn by
the side of the Sun, we’re being invited to let the light in on the pain, death
and destructive elements of our karmic legacy. How much of our history, how many
lives have been aligned in harmony with each other and the earth?
Full Moons offer enlightenment to some area of your
life:
The full moon is at its strongest shining its light on our
subconscious. Dreams at night, insights during the day are more than likely as the unconscious
offers up its secrets to help us move forward. Don’t be surprised if unresolved
energies or issues surface, particularly around any or all of the areas listed
above as ruled by Taurus.
Hopefully, sweet dreams! But if you have disturbing dreams, then
trust that it’s a wonderful release during sleep rather than trying to get to
these subconscious energies in a waking state.
Something’s ending: Full Moons bring
culmination to some area of your life. Things come to a head and the emotional
energy of the Full Moon helps us release that pent up energy. We are coming to a culminating point of releasing blockages under
the Scorpio Sun, allowing the Full Moon energies of Taurus to uplift us into our
own particular space of alignment with the earth and our particular destiny. The
two weeks following this full Moon will see us tying off loose ends before the
New Moon in Scorpio on 14th November.
Gratitude: Nothing speaks to the universe than the ‘attitude of
gratitude’ – especially timely at the Taurus Full Moon!
A reminder to us all for a Full
Moon ceremony:
Give thanks for the bounty of your life at this time
Release the old energies
Invoke/call in the new energies
The Sabian Symbols
for the Full Moon from Cathy Pagano: http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/the-cosmic-story-taurus-full-moon-2012The
Sabian symbol
for the Moon at 7* Taurus is: The woman of Samaria at the ancestral
well. This beautiful symbol refers to a story from the Christ
mythos. On day Jesus in his travels meets a Samarian woman at a
well. At the time, the Jews despised the Samarians; and we get the
impression that this woman was also some kind of outcast from her own
tribe. When Jesus asks for water from this woman who is not bound
by the rules of patriarchy, she gives it freely from a place of love.
This woman refers to the divine Feminine Spirit who is open to new
revelations and a new order of Being. She is an earthly Lady
Wisdom, for she recognizes Jesus as someone who walks his talk. Because of this
recognition, Jesus shares his divine mission with her freely and openly.
Not so surprisingly, he does not share his mission so freely with his own
disciples, who must discover the nature of his divine being on their own.
Only an open, trusting attitude toward life and love can see the Divine
plan at work. And it is a feminine attitude that sees Spirit at
work.
When we explore
our own depths and discover that we are all in this primordial soup together,
experiencing life and death until we understand that the only truth is LOVE, we
become like this Samarian Woman, open to divine law and truth. May
we all open to this revelation!
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 7* Scorpio is: Deep-sea divers.
This symbol urges us to focus our intentions (the Sun) on exploring the
deeper causes of our fears, our insecurities, our inability to relate. Perhaps past-life experiences still traumatize
us. Or some cruel torment from our
childhood. Part of it definitely stems
from the crisis we face at the moment. To
dive deeply into the collective unconscious helps us to understand the hidden
energies of life that unconsciously move us toward greater growth or keep us
stuck in a lingering death.
Upcoming Dates:
7th November:
Mercury retrograde at 10.04 am AEST in Sagittarius until 25th
November
11th November: Neptune goes direct in Pisces
That’s it for now folks! Keep asking for the big picture, your own
