Hi everyone! I’m here! I’m safe! Home is safe!
Thank you for your kind thoughts,
wishes and prayers for us all in the fires!
What’s been happening:
Aries Full Moon Lunar Eclipse: Strength and courage
front and centre!
The Aries Full Moon Lunar Eclipse has pushed us out of our comfort
zone. Three days before and after the Full Moon brought a window of about 6
days of powerful times for change as the Aries Full Moon spread its energies out
to encompass a broader canvas to lead us through the eclipse vortex for the next
few weeks.
Did you get your badge of courage:
Red poppies, a post bushfire, ‘apocalypse’ full moon energy which
affected us all, some more strongly than others. We
are recovering and gathering strength for the big change coming through this
week, HOT on the heels of the Full Moon.
We’re in the throes of the eclipse cycle, driven by the fiery Aries
Full Moon energy! And didn’t I know it, being caught
up in the big bushfires in the Blue Mountains!
My challenge last week: I
don’t like to talk about my situation, but to give you an idea how the eclipse
energy is bringing change if we are prepared to take the leap of faith, I’ve
attached a brief summary of my experiences this past week as a new page 'The power of the Aries Full Moon Eclipse'. I’m sure many of you
have similar stories to tell!
Blasted out of the comfort zone:
Fired for fulfilling
our potential beyond our limitations!
If you haven’t been pushed out of your comfort zone sometime since
17th October, 3 days before the Full Moon, then be assured that the coming week
or two is likely to activate that energy. The blasting energy is continuing to
rock our foundations to bring about change for the better.
More wind and earth challenges: As I’m writing
this I see that Britain is being battered by a huge storm front with horrific
gale force winds! It’s being called ‘St Jude’ as it’s happening on St. Jude’s
Day, 28th October. St Jude is patron saint of ‘The hopeless and the
despaired’. Says it all doesn’t it!
From
good ol’ wikipedia: St Jude, Patron Saint of the
Impossible
‘St.
Bridget of Sweden & St. Bernard had visions from God asking each to accept
St. Jude as 'The Patron Saint of the Impossible'.
Over the past week and
continuing:
Solar activity!
Any number of reactions in the
bodies...emotional, nervous system, mental or physical!
We have been experiencing more solar activity over the past week.
Just so you know...it’s not just about you! The solar activity impacts the
earth and the magnetic field. We may feel tense, edgy, irritable or may well
feel nauseous and/or physically challenged in the body.
The growing intensity of the Uranus/Pluto square is likely to be
adding to the edgy, nervous energy with Uranus charging our bodies with
electrical like impulses. Getting your sleep? We just have to grab sleep and
rest where and when we can.
At
29th October AEDT: Ongoing solar
activity
INCOMING CMEs: For the next three days, a series of CMEs will sweep past Earth,
delivering glancing blows to our planet's magnetic field. No single impact is
expected to be strong, but the combined effect of multiple weak impacts could
spark polar geomagnetic storms from Oct. 28th to Oct. 31st. High-latitude sky
watchers should be alert for auroras.

Mercury retrograde in Scorpio:
Strange experiences and
meetings, revisiting the past!
Synchronicities and Signposts: Joining the dots!
Be aware of unusual situations,
circumstances and meetings for guidance and soul
connection!
We’re in a Mercury in retrograde cycle and this is a time when
information can get mixed up or confused. However, messages are coming through
as we connect with people we need to meet, places we need to go, information we
need. It’s almost like this Mercury retrograde is guiding us to new directions
through the chaos of change and even because of the misinformation.
Chaos taking us to new pathways: Out of our control! Out
of the box!
Our normal thinking is being disrupted and for that reason we are
being opened to/pushed into alternatives which may not have been considered
before now.
New unusual opportunities: Be open to
opportunities you wouldn’t have thought of or considered before now. There are
some wonderful things happening in this Mercury retrograde energy. Yes, even my
car breaking down, bursting a water hose, carried its own message to pull back
from the fired up energy of driving and to rest.
Stay open to new ideas,
possibilities, people and projects:
The cosmic forces are with us. We just need to remember this and
to stay with the cosmic forces. If you don’t know what that means for
you...listen to what brings joy to your heart and keep dropping the barriers and
resistances to the seemingly impossible!
What’s coming
in:
Doesn’t look like a lot of light when I look at these pictures.
Well, after all, it is Scorpio time! We’re mining for gold!
The energies are building and bubbling away inside and
outside:
Scream and let go!:
This week looks like another HUGE shift for us all as we are being
swept deeper into the Scorpio cauldron of immense change! We are travelling
through the ring of fire, through the cave of dark intrigue and heading for the
light of release at the end of the tunnel.

31st through to 3rd
November:
More than the dark of the
Moon!
We will be having a mammoth release heading into the dark of the
moon before the New Moon comes in on 3rd. This is courtesy of the building
energies to a meeting/clash between Uranus and Pluto, exact on 1st
November
Earning the ‘no fear’ T-shirt:
‘Feeling the fear and doing it anyway’ – Susan
Jeffers
Travelling through this next week, negotiating the energies and
returning always to the light of ‘trust, accept and surrender’, we’ll have the
earned the right to wear the ‘no fear’ T-shirt!
Magic Bag for help: We’re wearing our ‘courage
and strength’ badge, shining our heart light, driving by ‘bat-like’ radar
through the unknown changes deep within the cave of Mother Earth. We’re facing
the fears, holding to the light and stepping through into a new dimension of
experience on this earth!
31st October:
Halloween, signifying death/rebirth!
Stay
on your magic broomstick and laugh it all away!
Hehehe!
Based on the ancient celebrations of the shifting earth energies
and seasonal changes, Halloween marks the midway point between the September
Equinox and the December solstice.
For the Northern Hemisphere: signifying the
doorway between light and dark heading into the darker days of
Winter!
From Avia Venefica: Traditional meaning of Halloween...Samhain
in the Northern Hemisphere and Pleiadian associations
For the Southern Hemisphere: Our ‘Halloween’
energies were back in May. We are heading into the lighter days of
Summer!
For everyone:
Facing fears, ghosts,
memory remnants, past lives/other realities! Courage and
strength!!!!
However, for the whole earth, this Halloween is going to take us
all into the dark to meet the ghouls and ghosts and face our fears as Uranus
meets Pluto in the highly charged energies of the Scorpionic planetary cauldron
and the eclipse vortex!
These combined energies
are taking us into the ‘dark of the moon’ release time from 1st to the New Moon
on 3rd.
Just keep laughing in the face of adversity!
1st November: Uranus/Pluto square exact meeting
This is lightning fire meeting deep earth energies emerging in
possibly volcanic eruptions, personally and possibly planetary.
Uranus square/challenge Pluto:
Volcanic change through fiery lightning wake up! Expect the
unexpected!
Uranus in Aries: 9 degrees
Pluto in Capricorn: 9 degrees
Number 4 of 7 activations: Intense and
dramatic!!!
This is the 4th of 7 times this aspect is occurring and is regarded
as the most intense of the 7. We will emerge from these cycles with the last
meeting in early 2015. It’s not over yet!
More shifting of the status quo: Freedom calls us
on!
This is a significant and unusual aspect that is creating slow and
steady deep and permanent changes to our world with respect to individual
liberty, freedom and corporate and government structures and systems.
Shifting deeply embedded attitudes, values, patterns out of the
body of our being, of our earthly existence.
Completions, endings and
beginnings:
A long term ongoing quandary coming to
resolution!
You may be brought to your knees at this time by something
unforeseen arising which may cause anxiety, worry, fear, grief...any number of
negative responses rising up in you. It’s likely to be about something that’s
been bubbling away for some time which has been needing resolution. Now, it’s
time for that resolution!
Security but at what expense: The challenge is
likely to be about individual freedom triggered by a jolt to the physical
security base, the status quo of your existence. It’s like all the demons of
fear long buried, will be emerging from the unconscious and leaving for good as
we take hold of this opportunity to break through into a new life of freedom.
The universe is pushing us out of the nest, out of our comfort zone so our
creative being takes its rightful leadership role in discovering solutions.
Nines and Tens:
Endings and beginnings in the planetary pinball
machine!
From 31st there will be a line up of planets all
about the same degree which are impacting on the Uranus/Pluto exact meeting on
1st November. At the 31st/1st, most of these
planets/astrological points, are around 9 and 10 degrees. The traditional
meaning associated with 9 is completion, endings! 10 is associated with the
ending of the old and the beginning of a new cycle. This is adding extra weight
and impetus to the change driven by the Uranus/Pluto square as so many planets
will be connecting with and triggering each other in a change process that leads
us to the New Moon in Scorpio on 3rd.
Planets/points in Scorpio: Life, death, rebirth...karmic
clearance, personal and planetary evolution...a big step forward!
Sun in Scorpio: 9 degrees
Mercury in Scorpio: 10 degrees/9 degrees
North Node in Scorpio: 9 degrees
Saturn in Scorpio: 13 degrees
Mars in Virgo opposite Chiron in Pisces: Healing the masculine
and the body through purification and healing of collective emotional wounds.
Mars in Virgo: 9 degrees
Chiron in Pisces: 9 degrees

1st November:
Crunch time!!!! Help is on the way with the eagle lifting us up to
see the whole landscape!
Hold on as you’re letting go everyone!!! Help is on the way! The
Scorpio eagle is lifting us to elevate our thinking, to open our hearts to a
wider perspective. It is important to keep focussed on the light, on the higher
perspective and the greater opportunities coming our way.
The New Moon in Scorpio will be birthing on 3rd November, 2 days
away!
We’re in the dark of the moon, releasing, remembering to take an
eagle eye view of the big picture,
trusting the process and knowing that any sense of impending doom
will pass.
3rd November: Solar Eclipse New Moon
New Moon in Scorpio at 11.49 pm AEDT at 11 degrees
16 Scorpio
The arrival of the New Moon is likely to feel like a huge release
after the last few days of intensity. However, we will probably still feel
wobbly as the Uranus/Pluto is still active, even though the intensity is moving
away from us and we have so much transformational Scorpio energy still morphing
us into new forms.
New plans and directions:
The New Moon gives birth to new directions. In Scorpio, the new
directions will be transformational and life changing. These new directions may
not be very clear at the moment as we’re riding with so much Scorpio energy and
in particular Mercury, our messenger, is retrograde in Scorpio sign of secrets
and mystery.
We are travelling under cover of darkness moving towards the
gradual realisations and revelations of the coming weeks.
Solar eclipse: Changes to our physical world within a
month to 6 months!
Accompanied by a solar eclipse, this New Moon guarantees the
changes will be transformational of our physical world. Maybe not for a month
to 6 months, even 12 months time. Remember we are the change
agents.
At this New Moon:
Saturn and the North Node close to the New
Moon:
Major karmic shifts in perspective...a death and
rebirth in consciousness!
After this New Moon: Primed for taking our authority in
the world!
Providing we’ve met the challenges of
releasing old damaging patterns, we are primed to take our authority in laying
the foundations for new ways of living and being where we are answerable to our
own unique truth. Courage will infuse us as we align with divine will, love and
personal truth!
The North Node of the Moon: Collective evolution of the
planet!
We’re heading in the same direction, whether or not we know this.
At this New Moon, the whole planet is doing major transformation, death and
rebirth. So, everyone’s in the same boat, so to speak. Just be aware that we’re
all being impacted on the personal and planetary level. We all have our own
particular demons. However, the common and collective demon being released is
about physical security and personal freedom to be who we are!
Mercury’s in the mix with Saturn, the North Node and the New
Moon: Messages and guidance through the Scorpio cave!
Even though Mercury is in retrograde
motion, with sometimes confusing messages and
information, we need to remain vigilant in seeking the truth of whatever we
hear, read, observe. Double check all information, even from the inner voice.
This is not second guessing! Rather, it is the digging out of the truth from
deep within us and listening to the voice of our heart rather than our
conditioned, what may appear to be a rational response. In this energy, we are
outside rational thinking. 
Venus in Sagittarius:
Connecting with the Galactic
Centre! More power to the heart!
Listen to her voice!!!
Venus is flying outside the ecliptic, outside the realms of our
conscious minds, accessing unconscious knowledge which is empowering and
uplifting. She’s headed for a meeting with the Galactic Centre at the New
Moon.
Discovery: She is adventuring into the
Sagittarius realms of curiosity, learning and discovery through exploring
untapped realms. She is accessing her crusading energies in rescuing us from the
density of our physical existence.
Accessing cosmic power: The Galactic Centre is
a black hole at the centre of our galaxy, regarded by most as a place of potency
and power astrologically.
Clearing focus and direction emerging: Increasing insight
over the next month!!!
With the shift of the Sun into Scorpio, we leave behind the
balancing act of ‘will I/won’t I’, the up and down of the Libran Sun.
Scorpio is nothing if not decided. You could even say
tunnel vision at times, which isn’t a bad thing when you’re clear on your
direction! There is no stopping a Scorpio once the
direction is clear. Focussed, dedicated, insightful and meticulous in the
execution of any task or project.
Warning: Maintain radar! Move forward in the new
direction, but stay open while the cosmic forces keep bringing in new
information!
Don’t get too fixated on a direction at the expense of staying open
to the change process as new information is likely to keep emerging until at
least the Full Moon on 18th November and maybe even until 28th when Mercury
comes out of its retrograde shadow. We’ll feel an easing from the 9th when
Mercury goes direct.
Step by step the truth is revealed: Pieces gradually
fall into place as we are increasingly given glimpses behind the
scenes!
What we decide to pursue, begin, establish at this New Moon and the
coming week/month, is leading us to new pastures which will be gradually
revealed in the coming weeks as we come out of Mercury retrograde, we come out
of the eclipse cycle, Mercury clears the retrograde shadow and finally when
Mercury moves out of Scorpio.
Timeline for
increasing revelations: A guide
for dates and times for the gradual clearing of the veil of confusion!
11th November: Mercury moves direct in
Scorpio
18th November: End of the eclipse cycle marked
by the Full Moon in Taurus
28th November: Mercury moves out of retrograde
shadow
6th December: Mercury moves out of Scorpio into
Sagittarius, 3 days after the New Moon in Sagittarius
Knowing when to be still, when to listen and when to take
action:
The NSW bushfire warning system has 3 codes for the state of
bushfire alerts which could well be applied to us all in the planetary changes
this week:
Advice:
A fire has started.
There is no immediate danger.
Stay up to date in case the situation changes
Watch and Act:
There is a heightened level of threat.
Conditions are changing and you need to start taking action now to protect you and your family
Emergency Warning:
An Emergency Warning is the highest level of Bush Fire
Alert.
You may be in danger and need to take action immediately.
Any delay now puts your life at risk.
Listening to your heart and inner voice and trusting the
messages:
Trust your divine connection!
The main thing is we know where we are in terms
of these changeable conditions, even if we feel in chaos! The chaos is taking
us where we need to be as it’s stripping away expectations and fixed
thinking.
Remind yourself you are on track! Maintain
heart connection and the focus on the bigger picture! Freedom
calls!

The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon: 11-12 deg Scorpio
A late-comer to an embassy ball
surveys the scene before making an entrance.
The scorpionic subtlety of surveying the scene before
entering makes me think of a Renaissance ball, where interesting things are
discussed and new ideas are in the air. What group do we want to
join? What ideas excite us? When we have creative
interaction with people inspired by original creative visions, we can create a
new social order. We do have to step into our new roles as leaders
and visionaries if we are to change our politics and save the world.
With this Solar Eclipse, we come to the end of a cycle and the ground is
now fertile for new seeds, new ideas, new intentions.

That’s it folks!
Checklist: Hope you’re wearing your badges of
strength and courage, ‘No fear’ T-shirt, shining your miner’s heart light and
tuning into your bat-like radar!
We’re still caving for a bit
longer, but I imagine the New Moon energies will strengthen us in our direction
and resolution. If nothing else, Scorpio is resolution!
All we know is that whatever ‘baggage’ we’ve been carrying is bound
to be released, dropped off for good...if we’re prepared to let it all go!
Nothing less than surrender...in case I haven’t said it enough!
lol!
Love and blessings to us all for safe passage through the Halloween
and eclipse challenges!
Keep focussed on the light at the end of the tunnel! We are
travelling to immense upliftment if we so desire!
In light and love

connection!
It’s all about love
