Hi everyone!
What a time it’s been with so much emotional energy
surging up within us and within the world. Some of us have been affected more
than others by this meltdown.
I’ve posted this picture of calm water with shades of
pink and purple as a representation of the deep calm place within us which is
waiting for us to accept our entitlement to love and fulfilment.
As we move through the cleansing purification of
these times, we need to remind ourselves of this energy of deep peace which
exudes from us when we’re in a place of acceptance of who we are and why we’re
here.
The upcoming energies are inviting us to accept
ourselves and to access why we are here and what we have to share with the
world.
So much happening. I am attempting to condense it
into an accessible form as I come to grips with it myself.
What’s been
happening:
It may feel like we’ve been in the doldrums out on the ocean, no
wind behind our sails, listlessly floating, whilst the waters of emotion churned
below.
- Day after day, day after
day,
- We stuck, nor breath nor
motion;
- As idle as a painted
ship
- Upon a painted
ocean.
- Water, water, every
where,
- And all the boards did
shrink;
- Water, water, every
where,
- Nor any drop to drink.
- From: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor
Coleridge
-
- We can put it down to the Grand Water Trine, 9 planetary bodies in
water signs plus Mercury retrograde in a water sign.
The Grand Water Trine: opening us up emotionally, learning to
‘go with the flow’ and accept and allow! Nothing to do but
surrender!
These are the major planetary players forming the Grand Water
Trine:
Saturn in Scorpio
Neptune in Pisces
Jupiter in Cancer, joined by Mars from 20th to 23rd
Cleansing and purification of
the emotions: Suck it up, spit it out!
‘Trigger’ point events/news have/has been happening in our everyday
lives which have worked like a plumber’s plunger...sucking up all the blockages
in our being and clearing our emotional energies.
Old ‘stories’ are evolving and/or
leaving:
Ancient and core memories have been surfacing as the planets in
Cancer are flushing out those emotions which have been holding us to ransom,
pulling us back into the reproduction of old patterns of behaviour and
thinking. Remember, Cancer rules family, ancestors and the divine mother
energy.
Round and round we go until we’re sparkling
clean:
Grand trines can give us the sense that everything is happening and
nothing is happening as they spin us around in a whirlpool of energy. This Grand
Water Trine energy is all emotion offering major cleansing of the cell memories
individually and collectively as the slower moving outer planets which impact
the collective consciousness interact with the faster moving ‘personal’ planets
which impact our individual lives.
The collective ‘wave’ of emotion collides with the
personal ‘wave’ of emotion:
It’s like we as individuals are meeting the waves of the collective
like two waves of water collide. There is no boundary in the waters of
emotion.
We are joined with the collective forces of purification as we come
face to face with our own ‘collective’ inheritance of conditioning and
repetition of history. Our world consciousness is being awoken with the
Uranus/Pluto square and now being washed in the oceans of this Grand Water Trine
energy.
Dreams, dreams and more dreams:
vivid and maybe a little
surreal
Neptune is the dreamer and in Pisces is very much at home in that
energy. The doorways of the unconscious are opened and alive in this
energy.
Over the last week I watched ‘Cloudstreet’, an adaptation of an
Australian novel. One of the characters nearly drowned as a child and now with
brain damage is obsessed with water and just wants to go back to it, so the
whole movie was inundated with the water images and the boy saying ‘the water,
the water, the water’ over and over again.
Now, if you haven’t got into this water energy, there’s plenty of
movies out there to bring up some emotions...’Titanic’, ‘Jaws’...?
18th July:
Uranus turned retrograde...surprise! at least for the days surrounding this
date.
At this time, the week before and after this date, there’s the
possibility of unexpected events, surprises, insights, significant change of
thinking.
Uranus retrograde until mid December 2013:
Review, revisit,
rediscover...insights, changes, surprises of the past few
months.
The slower moving planets influence the broader picture of the
world and trends of all kinds, social, economic, intellectual, artistic.
For the personal charts, Uranus strongly influences us if we have
planets being aspected by Uranus (that is, within 5 to 8 degrees of Uranus at 10
degrees)
Birthdays in last week of:
December/first week of January
March/first week of April
June/first week of July
September/first week of October
21st July: Mercury turned
direct at 4.22 am AEST 13 degrees
Cancer.
Glitches start ironing out! we’re moving again!
Communication becomes clearer, confusion and chaos clearing
gradually as Mercury gets on the move again. It’s a slow movement and we really
won’t feel the full affect of Mercury back on track for about 13 days.
We’re sailing under full sail, not full steam ahead just yet. But
at least we’re out of the doldrums.
Communication, decision making...all emotional:
We’re on the move at last!
We’re still ploughing through the water energies of
Cancer so communication will be coming through the
heart energies of Cancer which seeks emotional security, feeling ‘safe’ in
ourselves and trusting ourselves emotionally. So cautious, slow and steady
rather than scaring ourselves to death. We’re learning to trust ourselves and
to come from a positive emotional place when making up our minds, making
decisions.
Are you squeaky clean?
As Mercury treks back over the territory of the past 3
weeks, we find out how we’ve been recreating ourselves:
Remember, that whatever has been happening over
these past weeks in relation to conversations, commerce, travel and social
connections, will be re-visited in the coming few weeks until 4th August when
Mercury gets back to 23 degrees Cancer, the original position prior turning
retrograde.
Ideas which bring me joy: Ideas and
possibilities which popped up during the last 3 weeks may be recovered as the
way forward becomes clear. Be open to reviewing those ideas, projects,
solutions which seem more attractive than before, which offer a sense of
emotional security and joy in your heart. Be aware of your emotional response
to what’s being presented.
21st July:
Grand water trine expanded by Mars joining
with Jupiter in Cancer.
It’s big, worldly, karmic, cleansing,
purifying.
We’re all in the same boat and yet, at the same time, our masculine
selves are in the waves, surrendering to the ocean of emotion whilst allowing
all those trappings of social conditioning, all the ancestral and planetary
memories to be washed free.
How is our masculine energy handling the water:
You can
float, swim, surf, dive, ski, sail...whatever gets you
through!
Our masculine warrior energy is being cleansed by the grace of the
divine feminine energies of the water. Our Mars energy has been here in Cancer
for about a week, since 13th July. We are now learning to handle our masculine
drive through the medium of water which is flowing, sensitive, artistic and in
Cancer...home loving. We are being forced to give our attention to the child
within and the children of the world.
Lost your drive, enthusiasm, passion, motivation:
Mars is fire and our driving force to get things done. Understandably,
Mars is not happy in Cancer as he is dampened, sodden and feeling washed out.
It’s frustrating, irritating, especially during this Mercury retrograde period
of the past 3 weeks.
Anyone else been feeling absolutely exhausted
lately???
When will it end you ask:
some movement this week...
back
on our boards!
There will be some alleviation from the relentless lethargy of
water energies this week when the Sun moves on from Cancer into Leo, a fire
sign.
Also, now Mercury is travelling direct, we’ll feel some movement at
least. Then, on the 7th August, a New Moon in Leo followed by Mercury moving to
Leo will all help. Mercury and Mars are our movers/shakers on the personal
level.
Mars will be in Cancer until 28th
August:
Our masculine energy is learning new ways of living and being and
we won’t win by fighting with fire. Our drive and enthusiasm has to work
through the emotional energy of water which tends to be slow and gradual. We
just need to be aware of when to float, swim, surf, dive.
At the end of the month, Mars meets up in a challenging T square
with the Uranus/Pluto square. This will be a big emotional purge of all those
unresolved masculine energies.
What’s coming in:
Harmonic Convergence:
It’s all about love and evolution
of consciousness!
Yes, the star of consciousness in the personal and universal
spheres is calling us to tune in, attune to the changes!
From Jonathan Cainer 20th July:
This week brings what some astrologers are calling a
Harmonic Convergence. For a few days recently, we've had a rare Grand Trine
taking place between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. That, in itself, is auspicious. Now, as the trine
culminates, Mars forms a conjunction to Jupiter, Venus forms a harmonious
alignment to Saturn and there's a beautiful Full Moon.
It is as if the planets are sending
a message. 'Dear People of Earth, do you have some special hopes and wishes?
Please focus on your most noble aspirations and we'll do all we can to help them
come to fulfilment!'
Links with further reading on the Harmonic
Convergence of July:
From July 25th is known as the Day Out of Time, since
it is a day that belongs neither to the last cycle or the next one. It is a day
of stillness, the birth place for Creation to renew Itself. Certain days hold
the ability to activate and amplify intentions; this is one such day where we
can place our intentions of peace and love to initiate the new mayan year and
beginning of the next 26,000 year cycle.

Convergence’ – more on world meditations for this week.
22nd July:
Venus moves into Virgo at 10.40 pm AEST...purifying,
healing the heart and mind through love, beauty and the
earth!
Getting in touch with your earthly mission:
Virgo, where
we enact our everyday lives of work...now turning into
PLAY!
This is a great energy for grounding heart and passion into the
earthly dimension...making joy a reality! Make the most of this great energy
for heart healing changes on the earthly dimension, with us until 16th August.
What is your mission on earth: If you’re not
happy in your work, utilise this energy to get in touch with what makes you
happy in your working life. Virgo always offers practical steps to get you
where you need to go. Virgo calls us to our earthly ‘calling’.
When we’re fired by Venus, we feel uplifted and carried forward,
providing we’re ready to listen to her. And in Virgo it’s about the reality of
action plans.
Healing perfectionism : Be who you are, accept
yourself! Stop the criticisms, comparisons, self-punishments, shame, blame...in
their tracks!
Venus is the heart, the feminine expression of ourselves seeking
harmony, beauty and of course love. Virgo is the sign of the healer and the
purifier of our energies. Unevolved Virgo energy within all of us can lead to
nitpicking and criticism as Virgo asks us to purify and heal yet so often we
find ourselves expressing this energy as perfectionism, never good enough! And
we can put this onto ourselves effectively holding us back from expressing who
we are for fear of criticism.
‘I am perfect in my imperfections’
Harnessing the positive mind power:
Once you truly make
up your mind, doubts, fears, insecurities fall away!
Like Gemini, Virgo is ruled by Mercury (as well as Chiron
,the wounded healer) which is an energy of the mind
and intellect. Getting in touch with the ‘heart’ of Virgo can best be accessed
through Mother Earth and connecting that energy with the heart and mind. For
Mother Earth everything is perfect.
23rd July: Sun moves into Leo at 1.55 am
AEST
Happy, happy day!
Let the sun shine and shine it does!
‘Here comes the
Sun”!!!
And Leo comes in as the open-hearted child calling us to SHINE!
Let’s play!: The Sun is Leo’s ruler and brings
in the energy of love, romance, creativity and children. The Leo Sun brings in
the heart of the child calling us to play, to live life as playful children
filled with the joy and wonder of life through fulfilling our creative
potential.
Saved by the Sun of Leo:
Marching to the beat of our own
drum!
What perfect timing! Just when we felt washed up and shipwrecked
by the waters, along comes the fire of Leo waking us up to march to the beat of
our own drum. The Sun is about our identity and in Leo, it’s the open-hearted
child-like part of ourselves that is being awakened.
If ever there was a perfect time for Leo energy...it’s now!
Courage, strength and confidence:
Call on your inner lion of leadership who has the courage
to be ‘you’!
‘If I only had the nerve’ sang the lion in the Wizard of Oz. And
when he reached Oz, he discovered he had the courage all along!
Such a powerful message for us all. Courage along with confidence
is one of Leo’s life lessons. It’s a challenging energy to shine with
confidence which comes from within without tipping into overblown ego...one of
the challenges of this time.
And as we all probably know, when we meet people challenged by the
shining, they can hit out at us.
Many years ago, a significant ‘other’ in my life accusingly said
‘You’re so full of yourself!’
From somewhere came my response ‘If you were more full of yourself,
we wouldn’t have a problem.’
I
hope you get my drift from the telling of this story. We walk a fine balance and
sometimes we allow ourselves to be pushed down by others, when really we need to
back ourselves.
For the next month, Leo shines on us:
Indulge in this
creative power!
This is a perfect time to call on your inner strength and courage
to be you...no holds barred! No excuses for being you!
The upcoming energies of the Lion Stargate starting 26th July
through to 12th August will be supporting us in accessing this lion energy and
inspiring us to take leadership of our own lives!
This will be a good counterbalance to the Cancerian cautious energy
which would have us sitting in our little shells, too insecure to venture
forth.
I have confidence
I have confidence in sunshine
I
have confidence in rain
I
have confidence that spring will come againBesides which you see I have confidence in
me
23rd July:
Full Moon in Aquarius 4.15 am AEST at 0
degrees 06
...our third ‘Supermoon’ in a row!
Reach for the stars:
Hearing the call of destiny to your
own personal way of being in the world
Aquarius is about reaching for the stars, your own personal star
which sits amongst the other stars and planetary bodies within the whole
spectrum of the universe, seemingly ‘hanging together’ like a huge cosmic
family.
Freedom calls:
Getting out of the jail of conditioning!
Leaping off the treadmill!
The first of two Full Moons in Aquarius this year. There’s another
one in a month’s time. The focus is on Aquarian energies over the next two full
moons. And Aquarius is the ultimate energy of freedom from the restrictive ties
of conditioning.
Innovative ideas and new
possibilities:
Ruled by Uranus, innovative ideas, alternative solutions are likely
to drop into our minds and hearts at this Full Moon as the Full Moon engages
with its opposite number, the Leo Sun who is all about shining as
individuals.
Detachment emotionally: Aquarius is a mental
sign who has the capacity to detach emotionally, a quality which is likely to
work in our favour at this Full Moon, a time when emotions are big and
demanding.
Leo Sun opposite Aquarian Moon: Where in the world do I
belong?
The personal experience of love balancing the universal experience
of loving humanity! The energy of this Full Moon is asking us to balance the
personal and the transpersonal, of finding where we fit in the bigger scheme of
humanity’s family. It’s about discovering how to fulfil our personal joy
through being an active member of the world family, contributing to the
upliftment and betterment of the world.
When you wish upon a
star: Make a wish!
Aquarius is about the bigger
picture of humanity and community about friends and hopes and
dreams.
This is the time to put
out your wishes to the universe and ask for fulfilment of those wishes, at least
some of them!
.
Breaking point!:
Ready to break out, breakthrough and
break the rules!
A crossroads and the new road beckons!
Saturn in Scorpio will be squaring/challenging the Full Moon and Sun
‘I’ve gotta be me!’:
Leo creative power and drive expression with Aquarian innovation
transforming our authority to be real. We’re ready to break Saturn’s
rules!
A driving force within us is likely to well up, giving the
emotional power and the mental clarity to know what we need, where we need to
be, what we want to do even if we haven’t got the details in order...all in good
time.
Jailbreak:
The rebel in us comes alive as it accesses the Leo desire
to be fully ourselves and enjoy life!
Rules do not fit this scenario.
When we experience Aquarian rebellion opposed to the Leo fire to
express individuality squaring off to sober old Saturn/status quo in Scorpio,
then we know there’s likely to be a jailbreak.
Tipping point: The riot has been brewing for
some time as old Saturn/status quo is getting a huge long term makeover in
Scorpio sign of life, death, rebirth and transformation. Frustrating and
irritating ‘blocks’ in your life are likely to come to the fore in order to be
resolved. It’s likely to come to a head in a somewhat detached manner, even if
the emotions are powering the breakthrough. Detachment emotionally is an
Aquarian specialty. This is despite all the Grand Water Trine which is all
emotional.
Fortunate energies: The Full Moon is in
Aquarius so all that emotional energy is charging up our radical rebellious
selves which have been kept under wraps for so long. Just keep trusting that all
is well. You may have expectations about what all this means to you, but it may
turn out quite differently. With Aquarius involved and the Uranus/Pluto square
still operational, anything could happen. But the energies are auspicious...so
trust this!
Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon in
Aquarius:
I am referring you to Linda Hill’s site for an extensive coverage
of the symbols for this time:
26th July to 12th August: The Lion’s
Gate
The following quotes are just to give you some idea of these
energies coming in.
I will include more with the next update on the New Moon in Leo on
8th August.

From Celia Fenn:
‘The Incoming Wave of Light and the Lion’s Gate
2013’
Quotes from ‘The Incoming Wave of Light and the Lion’s Gate
2013’:
The Lion’s Gate
2013
Many have asked us,
what is the Lion’s Gate and why is it named for the Lion? Well, it refers in
part to the fact that the Sun enters into the sign of LEO at this time, and
these energies are integrated into the Earth under the energy of the Lion, the
Feline Energies of Sirius which are fierce and proud and very “royal”. The
“Gate” or “Stargate” is a period of approximatley two weeks in which a vortex
opens and a wave of intense Light from the Galactic Center is received on the
Earth. This “wave” contains the new Light Codes for the Evolution of the Earth
for the next year/cycle, and so it is known as the Planetary New
Year.
The Wave of Light 26
July to 12 August
Beloved Family of
Light, this incoming Wave of Light will effectively “Recalibrate” the Planetary
Frequencies for Higher Levels of Consciousness. This means, of course, that the
old third-dimensional “illusion” will continue to crumble and break down. To
those who still hold to the Third Dimensional Consciousness, it will seem as if
chaos is breaking out everywhere, and they will become paranoid and angry and
despairing. To those who can see and feel with the Higher Consciousness, it will
seem as if a new dawn is breaking and that a new way of life is rising, as of
course, it is.
What can expect at
this time? We think that the Key word will be “intensity”. Everything will seem
very intense to the point of being surreal. In your personal lives, whatever is
still remaining of your old third-dimensional consciousness will need to be
removed and replaced by something at a higher vibration. This may be difficult
if you have an emotional attachment to the old energies. However, if you simply
release and allow the changes, then they can be achieved with the minimum of
disruption and hardship. The idea is simply to TRUST the PROCESS and allow
whatever needs to happen.
From Archangel
Gabriel: The Lion’s Gateway Initiation – July 26 through August 12 –
Channeled through Shanta Gabriel
And so it is now as you approach the Lion’s
Gateway from July 26 through August 12 – a two-week portal with extreme waves of
Light that will activate the coding within your DNA to the next level. This will
assist your integration of the 5D imprint that is a part of your Soul’s Destiny,
if you are the one reading this work.
Golden oldies:
For the Grand Water Trine:
’Emotion on the ocean
The
moon still keeps on moving,
the
waves still keep on waving and I still keep on going.’
For the Full Moon in Aquarius:
New posting from Lauren Gorgo:
The quote below was posted by Stephanie Azaria and came from the
full version of Lauren’s message:
There is a moment or two of stillness left before you, take not
this time for granted. The inward expansion that you have undergone since the
eclipse cycle is beginning to bleed into your physical world. There may be
periods of overwhelm as these energies unlock the gears for forward
movement, be not afraid. Allow the chaos of the new to swirl about
your personal lives, the upheaval will serve to catapult you to new heights. The
coming tide is prepared to take you to new shores. For the moment, your anchors
are dropped as you patiently await the waters calm. When
the storms subside, the tide will beckon. Be fluid. Allow the new
waters to carry you o’er the waves to your destiny.
-PHC
Upcoming Dates:
7th August: New Moon in Leo
8th August: Mercury moves into Leo
That’s it folks!
We’re in big energies as you can see. We’re already in the
change process which is rolling on with a domino effect.
I’ve limited my focus
to the major planetary influences rather than extend into the Harmonic
Convergence or the Lion’s Gate energy.
There are many writers who have written
extensively about these energies and are extremely knowledgeable. I offer a
couple of links to this information. But of course, a Google search will
uncover even more.
Wishing you all a wonderful week.
As always, love and blessings to you all, ‘my family’ and trust
that we all have exciting times ahead.

29th to 30th July AEST: 
Make a wish
and bring your dreams to earth!
On 29 July 2013 the Grand Water Trine and the Grand
Earth Trine will metamorphose into a “Star
of David ” Star Tetrahedron – a sacred building block of all Life on
earth. The Star Tetrahedron will morph into the Merkaba,
a personalized 4-dimensional Light Body. In other words, if you tap into the
mystical Merkaba or Star Tetrahedron energies, you can activate your own 4th
dimensional Light Body, which can be used to transport yourself to dimensions
beyond this reality.
