29th May 2020: Mercury moves to Cancer, 2nd June: Mercury into shadow retrograde

Hi everyone!

 

Flying in the light of the Gemini Sun and now in the vortex of eclipse energy as from the New Moon energy which ushered in the next couple of months. 

 

Our spirits flying with our feet still on the ground:

Our spirits are feeling the need to lift off from the incredibly dense energies which have been holding us for this and last year.  But we need to remember that with a number of planets in retrograde, we are treading old grapes, old pathways and revisiting old memories, old conditioning from the past.

 

Staying the distance with the release process:

There’s a craziness in the air and many of us are not necessarily feeling aligned with the flock at this time as so many old imprints, emotions, thought patterns are being flushed out of us, our minds, hearts, bodies and spirits.  The bottom line...it’s all spiritual healing, part of the process.

 

In the confusion of the eclipse energies:

Eclipse energies have this impact on us all as new information is revealed and we can’t necessarily sort out all the information while we’re being tumbled through myriad memories surfacing from all humanity.

 

What is the pathway for spiritual evolution:  

Gemini Sun, Venus and North Node!  From duality to unity!

The whole planetary history of earth demonstrates our consciousness.  It’s all been about power, powering over, ego driven by the need to be ‘right’ to be superior to others, to compete against others and to be a ‘winner’.  

What is a winner in our current world? 

 

Our planetary evolution is focussed on unifying duality within and without...quite a brief for us all at this time! 

It’s important to remind ourselves that Gemini energies put the focus on the duality of our psyche and our lives on earth.  Spiritually, for our own evolution, the call is for unification, rather than division.  This is the perfect benchmark for our own intuitive responses to the happenings in our world.

 

Nothing is very clear at this time:  

We are working at clearing through these old miasms of past oppression, of fear, doubt, insecurity!

With so much political focus and chatter going on, the current tendency is to choose ‘sides’ like backing football teams.  However, our propensity for backing our opinions, beliefs, ideas could well be misguided at this time as we are acting out from the past, from memories, from old spiritual ‘wounds’ surfacing.

 

We are experiencing individual needs and desires of the individual and societal demands through the lens of our memories and other realities. 

 

My personal benchmark for when things emerge from the past is having an irrational reaction or observing what seems to be an irrational reaction in others. When aware of these reactions, we can process them in current consciousness and come to a new understanding in present time of our lives here and now. 

 

 

29th May:  Mercury enters Cancer 4:09 am AEST

...a long walk on the seashore

Until 5th August

18th June:  Mercury turns retrograde in Cancer until 12th July

Mercury is our messenger, ruler of our mental body:  Profound messages coming in! 

He rules communication, transport, making connections and the collection of information, joining the dots and disseminating information.

Mercury in Cancer:  Bringing in messages from the unconscious, from the past!

Cancer is ruled by the Moon, a highly psychic, intuitive energy once it works us through the emotional energies surfacing from the past, the ancestors, past lives, history. 

Straddling the two worlds of the unconscious and conscious:

Cancer, the Crab, finds home on the seashore, the shoreline, straddling the two worlds of the earth, the conscious world and the ocean, the unconscious.  With a propensity for connecting with both worlds at any time, usually in an empathetic, emotional sensitivity, the Cancerian focus is directed towards receiving the messages being channelled in by Mercury, our messenger.

Our airwaves are open and receiving...receiving what?

We’re already travelling with a focus on the Gemini energies of channelling information from a variety of sources.  Our discrimination regarding the source of our information is particularly relevant during the next couple of months as Mercury has an extended stay on the beach.

Home, family, ancestors, nurturing, mothering, emotional security:  Commerce?

Mercury rules commerce and commercial transactions so I imagine we’ll be feeling a greater focus on the monetary affairs associated with any or all of these areas.  There may well be a need to re-frame, re-work agreements, contracts, financial affairs in relation to the above.  Homes?  Homeless?  Costs?  Accounts?

2nd June:  Mercury enters shadow retrograde 5 degrees 30 Cancer

We’ll be travelling this part of the beach again once Mercury turns direct on 12th July.  Whatever information is flowing in between now and 18th June will be revisited from 12th July to 26th July.  This time is getting us used to tuning in to the two dimensions opening to us in the Cancer energy. 

18th June:  Mercury retrograde until 12th July...Calling the cosmic home!

Mercury retrogrades at 14 degrees Cancer, the degree of the fixed star Sirius and opposite Vega, the brightest star in the constellation Lyra.

With the ongoing eclipse waves we’ll be receiving some very cosmic messages during this upcoming retrograde period. 

We are already in a time of big galactic energies:  

Eclipses and galactic messages...Time to phone home?

Beyond our time and space: Finding our inner 'ET' ;)
With the planetary nodes now in Gemini and Sagittarius, it’s a good time to look to the stars, to raise our vision to a picture beyond our earthly world. With the world in so much chaos and confusion there couldn't be a better time to explore our cosmic 'roots' and connections to other realities and dimensions beyond our limited experience, mindset and knowledge.

For many years I've been posting messages from guides and teachers who mention other realities, 'alien' worlds and other dimensions. I have connected to other dimensions unknowingly until I became aware and my sight was opened by myself and some profound messages.

 

I have called on these other dimensions of higher consciousness for years to assist me in the healing process of my physical body which brought me to the understanding of spiritual healing, the core 'dis-ease' within me. These other dimensions are my friends and family as much as those on earth.

We are entering a time astrologically of awakening to galactic origins, cosmic roots and other dimensional realities. The upcoming Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius on 6th June is the opening doorway to this information. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will be sitting 1 degree from the big cosmic energy of The Great Attractor.

Starseeds:

My experience is that these other 'life forms' are all around us, unseen except those of us who seek connection to them.   Many people on earth feel their connection to star families, recognise their role as ‘starseeds’, beings who have existed in other realities as well as earth and who chose to be here at this time for the evolution of earth and humanity’ consciousness.  This may or may not resonate with you. 

I invite all to open minds and hearts to these more evolved realities and feel the vibrations rising within.

ET...phone home!

The Sabian Symbol for Mercury’s entry to Cancer:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

This degree is particularly significant as the New Moon in Cancer Solar Eclipse of 30th May will be on 0 degrees Cancer and will be activating this Sabian Symbol for the lunar month and indeed for up to 6 months until the next series of eclipses comes in.

Cancer 1

ON A SHIP THE SAILORS LOWER AN OLD FLAG AND RAISE A NEW ONE

This Symbol implies a time of dropping the old whilst adopting the new. To 'Lower an Old Flag and Raise a New One' marks real turning points in one’s life. Something is changing, possibly dramatically, and the transformation should be taken seriously. Something that once was useful or valuable is, or has, ended and something brand new is beginning or emerging. There should be a symbolic gesture or expression of this change of allegiance. It may help to run any new ideas or plans up the "flagpole" to see if anybody salutes. You’re could change countries, professions, relationships, etc, as these are very significant times. Changing loyalties. Turning points in obligations or duties. Announcing new standards. Letting go of old allegiances and taking up new ones. Divorces, marriages, shifts.

2nd June:  Venus returns from out of bounds...a renewal of heart consciousness has been occurring!  Venus, ruler of the heart, love and money!

At 14 degrees Gemini

Venus has been travelling into new consciousness, gathering new information and knowledge, all while she is travelling retrograde.  So, it’s been back to the past, into the cosmos and other dimensions beyond our knowledge and experience this lifetime.

As a ruler of our heart, Venus has been working with bringing our ‘split’ hearts into oneness.  Just as Mercury is bringing ‘in two minds’ energy into unity, so Venus is bringing a profound healing to our heart consciousness.

We have been accessing our cosmic heart connection and new ways of being while revisiting past emotional connections and experiences.  Once Venus returns to current reality, we will start getting some sense of what has changed for us as we discover new ways of approaching old heart issues, problems, concerns, wounds.  

Venus will still be in retrograde energy until 25th June before she turns direct at 5 degrees Gemini, so plenty more discoveries, twists and turns but we can hope that our hearts have accessed new ways of feeling and being.

That’s all folks! 

Hugs all around!

We might feel we’re all in separate trees and struggling to make sense of what’s happening in our world with the confusion likely to continue for a while yet.  Spiritually, we are all together sorting out personal issues and memories so we can come into clarity within ourselves and reaffirming our focus and direction.

Trusting that all is well and in a positive future with all of us making the commitment to building a vision, at least a bigger picture vision of an evolution of consciousness for all.

Love and blessings to us all as we work through despair, frustration, irritation, confusion, grief, fear, anger or conflict.  We will return to the power of love!

20th May 2020: Sun enters Gemini, 23rd May: New Moon in Gemini

 

Hi everyone!

In the final rays of the Taurus Sun we are called to rest on our luxurious carpet of divine abundance, of growth and plenty, of hope and promise of renewal of our rich earthly resources. We’ve had weeks, months for some of us, living in a state of chronic stress, on alert, on tenterhooks and activated by all our survival mechanisms. 

Fight, flight or freeze syndrome: ‘Outed’!  Almost done and dusted!

In Australia, the bushfires started rampaging through the country from August 2019 and continued into February/March 2020.  With fires and smoke, many of us have been in the ‘lockdown’ of high alert for months. The pandemic energies were rolling in from January, with the whole of humanity challenged to release major cellular memories and karmic imprints from our psyche, from our bodies.

Enforced time out, rehabilitation, detox for all: 

The past month of the Sun has brought all these energies to a physical culmination, maybe temporary, as the most earthy and dense of the planetary signs, the sign of Mother Earth, has brought us down to ground zero, the bottom line of our deep seated, buried history. 

In choosing spiritual freedom, we let go of conditioning, addictive behaviours based on neediness to be powerful and loved.

The road to freedom:  Learning to lighten the load!

Feeling in crisis, frustration, grief, anger or irritation, has brought up old fears, doubts, insecurities, unhealthy addictions and attachments which have been effectively flushed out of our bodies and from the earth herself.  She’s been getting some time out from the neverending pounding of billions of feet across her surface. The negative memories from our history are just that...in the past.

Time for some creative solutions:  As the old releases, the new wave of possibilities streams into our consciousness!  We are wide open to the new!

We’ve all been in a major confrontation with our primal demons, a global healing resolution which clearly is opening the doors to new ways of being and living on the earth.  We cannot go on as we have done.  Too many people, over consumerism can only result in Mother Earth going into her own replenishment.  In this year of the crisis of responsibility, the energy of Capricorn, we all need to accept our role and what we have to offer in the future. Innovative, unique problem solvers all welcome!  We’ll be coming up with possible solutions, our role in the future as we progress through 2020, ready for December kickoff!

There’s been a lightening of the planetary energies in some ways after Saturn moved into Aquarius and Mercury moved into Gemini...both air signs...last week.

This week we’ll be welcoming the Sun and New Moon in Gemini with half of the major planetary energies in air signs.

21st May: In the dark of the moon...the wise owl, the guide!The Sun is now in Gemini, joining Mercury and Venus, mind and heart in the sign of choices, the smorgasbord of possibilities, communication, ruled by the air and all life which connects to the air energies.

In the dark of the moon: Mostly a Taurus Moon until 22nd May 11.36 pm AEST. However, we are in what's called 'the dark of the moon', the time of release of the past lunar month, year as we head towards the New Moon in Gemini on 23rd May AEST.

Although the Sun is bringing in light to our mental energies along with offering clearance in our airwaves, nervous systems, the Moon is in Taurus until 22nd May 11.36 pm AEST. The Moon is always an indicator of the past, the emotional energies and the ancestors and in Taurus it's working on our physical bodies and the body of Mother Earth. clearing a lot of old psychic energies locked into our memory banks and the memory banks of the earth herself.

So, much spiritual/psychic energy surfacing and maybe adding to frustrations, disappointment, despair, fear, grief, anger...whatever...all that and more. Better out than in!

I constantly remind myself that 'this too shall pass' and we can re-stablilise. We're in the whole release process up to the birth of the New Moon in Gemini on 23rd May at 3.38 am AEST.

The Owl is a perfect totem guide for the dark of the moon as it negotiates the darkness, the undercover world of the unseen as we release the locked in.trapped energies from the earth.

It's a bird, it's an owl....it's Super Owl!

20th May:  Sun entered Gemini 11.49 pm AEST...antenna up!  

Are we listening? 

Until 21st June

Butterflies, birds and bees:  Taking to the airwaves!

Gemini is an ‘air’ sign which rules communication, travel as well as the duality of the mind, the masculine/feminine energies. All animals who travel the airwaves are associated with Gemini, the birds and flying insects such as bees and butterflies who go from flower to flower gathering food, pollen, spreading the pollen to give new life.

Welcome to the deer totem, just one of the Gemini energies! 

The deer is regarded as totem of the astrology calendar for Gemini time by the native American people.  Its highly strung, sensitive, nervous energy picks up all manner of information from the environment as part of its survival mechanism. It can take off in a flash at the first sign of trouble.  The antler of the deer are like receptors even though used as weaponry by male deer.  In reindeer, both male and female have antlers. 

Finding inner/outer balance in information overload time:

Because it’s one of the dual signs, it calls us to bring balance as we open our minds to masses of information, people, places and ideas.  It’s a big data gathering sign which amasses knowledge by connecting to a variety of sources.

The mind and nervous system can become overloaded with so much information which requires sorting and sifting.

In this time of limitation, lockdown we’re all looking for some stimulation to ignite the spirit:  Gemini can ignite with ideas but overload is the danger!

Gemini energy calls us to get out and about, to socialise, to network.  We’re needing to pace ourselves with this energy coming in joining Mercury, Venus and the North Planetary Node all in Gemini....messages galore! 

Too much mental stimulation can take us into a mental muddle, addled thinking. 

The need to step back and be still requires awareness and attention to ourselves and how we may be going into spin out.

Discrimination and time out for resting the mind is the essence of surviving mental spin out and coming back to our focus for our energies and life direction.

Time for evolution of our minds, mental consciousness:We are evolving mental consciousness, so we need to be aware of the many 'voices' within and without, the restless resistant voices of the unresolved memories, the reflections, projections from the outer world. Time out will help us to connect to our divine mind and bring clarity and strength.

The deer asks us to choose the path of gentleness trusting that our divine instincts will take us on the right path.

23rd May:  New Moon in Gemini at 2 degrees 04 Gemini at 3.38 am AEST...potential plus

North Node of Moon:  29 degrees Gemini

We’re all gathering in the light of the moon, socialising spiritually if not physically.  The urge to connect and interact with others will be a driving force in the next couple of years and this new moon is the first in Gemini since the planetary north node moved into Gemini.  It’s setting the agenda for us all.

Sun and Moon: 2 degrees Gemini...coming together at last!

A new lunar month and the Sun and Moon give birth to a whole new impetus for this lunar month and for the upcoming eclipse energies which kick in with the Sagittarian full moon on 6th June. Sudden and dramatic changes in the coming weeks, months. Think positive and let the traumas and fears subside and depart...for good!

United we stand strong in mind, heart, body and spirit: Setting the intention and focus!

The unification of our duality is front and centre as the Gemini twins are called into harmony and equilibrium.  Mind and heart energy will be rebooted at this new moon as Mercury and Venus meet on the same degree, 20 degrees Gemini. The New Moon gives birth to a new impetus and it’s up to us to decide, make up our minds how and where we will invest our energies, our focus and our way forward.

Planetary energies at the New Moon carry through the whole lunar month until the next new moon: 

There’s so much planetary interaction at this new moon we may well feel everything’s being re-aligned across all the energies.  We could feel pulled in many directions all at once but essentially, it’s about getting all our planetary ‘voices’ to come together as one voice, a choir of song united in focus, synthesising the diversities and conflicts to become an organic whole. 

It’s a universal makeover with a particular focus on our mental evolution and balancing of heart and mind.

Mercury and Venus: 20 degrees Gemini...mind and heart heading in the same direction!  Finally!

Mind and heart getting a reboot, a kickstart a reunification in the harmonising energies of the New Moon in Gemini.

Throughout this month we’ll be checking in between mind and heart to ensure that they’re on the same vehicle, heading in the same direction, attuned to oneness and our divine vision and mission.

Even though Mercury moves into the sign of Cancer on 29th May for an extended stay, the ongoing balance of heart and mind will be a ready reference until the birth of the New Moon in Cancer/Solstice on 21st June.

Neptune:  20 degrees Pisces

...offering a spiritual uplift, a beacon of light to our heart/mind Vespa travelling duo!

Dropping the emotional baggage!

Squaring off to the Mercury and Venus is Neptune in Pisces challenging the heart/mind combo to reach for the sky, to enter the great ocean of spiritual consciousness and fly with Neptune’s pilot light shining the way.

The collective unconscious has been a sea of teeming emotions surfacing from our collective banks, flushing out all the memories, doubts, fears, insecurities, grief, pain and suffering from past times on our earth.  The distrust and paranoia of so many across the planet is a testament to the collective release of our history of oppression, the imbalances of power on the planet.

‘Finger of God’ formation:  

The promise of Libran ‘balance’, equity and divine justice for our masculine ‘warrior’ selves! 

A working out of the ‘missing leg’ of this formation which is in Libra, opposite Chiron.  It is through our choosing peace, we will find peace.

Mars:  6 degrees Pisces...our fire, drive, masculine warrior washing clean in the Pisces ocean.

Chiron:  8 degrees Aries...our masculine warrior is healing the spiritual ‘wounds’ of the past

Uranus:  8 degrees Taurus...awakening and evolution of our physical bodies, the earth and our true values, divine love

Saturn:  1 degree Aquarius...our Saturn authority wizard is guiding our Gemini New Moon/Sun in karmic release and the way forward!

In a flowing trine to the Sun/New Moon in Gemini...three is good company in divine energies!

Who’s driving this spaceship? Saturn!

Gemini astronauts in the guiding light of Saturn, accessing the higher authority in the cosmos

Saturn is asking us to align with our divine authority if we choose to take charge of our energies, to come into balance, harmony within and without.  As we do, we align with our divine power, the powers of cosmic magic and physical manifestation.

Tandem travelling retrograde:  On the mountain trail...backtracking and double checking

Jupiter:  27 degrees Capricorn Rx

Pluto:    24 degrees Capricorn Rx

These two are continuing to ‘work over’ the systems. structures in society along with out own benchmarks, social conditioning and patterns of behaviour that perpetuate these systems.  

The balancing of individual needs against societal powers is up to us starting from the personal and expanding to the transpersonal.

THE CHARMING COURT LIFE AT THE GARDEN OF THE TUILERIES IN PARIS

This Symbol speaks of enjoying the finer things in life; luxury, big estates, good food, beautiful gardens, a fabulous social life and mixing with the elite of society. This implies enjoying the rewards of self confidence and authority that you and others have developed and achieved. This does not make you greater or better than others, but the work you've done entitles you to a little luxury, comfort and prestige. Are you relaxed and comfortable enough to be able to sit back and join in with others and enjoy it all? A loving of tradition. Cultivation of beautiful forms. Symmetry of form shown at its best. Gardens. Statues and fountains. Good food and bottles of wine. Polite society. Politics.

That’s all folks!  Hugs all around!

Here we see the present reality of our world with so many of us still cocooned waiting for our souls to be reborn into a rebirth, a manifestation of the butterfly energy.

The picture off the butterflies amassed is the future potential once we emerge from our cocoon, from our time of transmutation of inner changes and physical renewal. 

At this New Moon, let’s focus on the potential within us individually, as a society, to come to clarity despite the external confusing forces, to return all the time to one pointed thinking. 

It may take some time as we’re heading into eclipse season following this New Moon with the first in the Gemini/Sagittarius eclipse series kicking in at the Full Moon in Sagittarius on 6th June. 

Sudden unexpected changes to our world...let’s make them positive!

We’re not quite finished with the Cancer/Capricorn eclipses as two more in June/July which will plunge is into completion through the second half of this year. There will actually be two lunar months of Cancer with two New Moons in Cancer taking us through late June/July and into August. So plenty of focus on home, emotional security and sudden unexpected changes.  Get the Gemini mind on board to bring in wonderful changes for the better.

Nevertheless, this New Moon in Gemini is the sign of things to come, the way ahead if we can but harness our minds, evolve our mental consciousness into a more cosmic picture beyond our physical reality and perception of physical reality.  Gemini offers imagination and a direct line to cosmic energies if we so choose.  It’s all up to us.

Love and blessings

13th May 2020: Mars moves to Pisces, Venus turns retrograde in Gemini, 15th May: Jupiter turns retrograde in Capricorn

 

Hi everyone!

Here’s the second instalment of this week’s changes: Mars, Venus and Jupiter

We might be on the Saturn in Aquarius collective ride of our life exploring the cosmic airwaves, but our personal beings, mind, body and heart energy are very much focussed on our individual lives. The three ‘personal’ planets, Mercury, Mars and Venus are all in mutable signs, signs of adaptability.  The opportunity for personal evolution is high!

The individual in or against society:  Our choice...a global detox!

Our personal selves are undergoing huge changes this year as ‘the individual and society’ come into focus, the juxtaposition of personal growth and expansion in relation to social growth and expansion.  Our ‘addictions’, dependencies and ego attachments to collective beliefs, values and attitudes are being revealed, exposed thanks to the lockdown.

Monkeys reaching for the stars!

Our higher consciousness beckons.    We’re evolving our ‘monkey minds and hearts’ and in so doing uplifting the whole of the societal and collective consciousness. 

Where do we fit in this big picture?  This year is offering new realisations and awakenings to us all as we learn new ways of being, living and growing into the powerful energetic cosmic beings that we are.

Personal power? Divine power?:  Our source manifests in our physical life!

Everything we do makes a difference in the world, no matter its source as consciousness, no matter its original motivation.  Everything on earth and in the cosmos is about ‘power’ and how we translate that in our belief system.  How we build power, how we structure it, our basis for feeling powerful.

13th May:  Mars enters Pisces 2.17 pm AEST

Mars has time out in the hot springs!

Until 28th June

Our fiery warrior:  Time out!

Fiery Mars isn’t especially happy taking to the great watery Pisces ocean so we’ll take him into the hot springs where he can have some time out from the battle, the warring, the anger and the conflict in the world.  He’s able to relax and let all the burdens of the fight just melt in the waters of peace and harmony. Mars is ruler of our physical body, our warrior self.

Mars rules the head so ‘head stuff’ can be released during this time.

Mars experiencing and evolving  emotional energies of the collective:

Mars in Pisces gets in touch with the collective unconscious, the emotional energies within the collective which could dampen his fire and drive.  At the same time we’re being offered the higher spiritual vision of our physical bodies and our warrior selves as Pisces activates the visionary.

Make the most of this time...relax, let go, unwind and surrender!

This time may be a blessing, a tempering of our energies as we calm down the masculine ego, the fight or flight syndrome. We are learning about the mass consciousness we hold within our physical body, freeing the memory banks as we relax.  We need to take this time so we are prepared for when Mars is reactivated when he moves ‘home’ to Aries at the end of June where he’ll be until January 2021.

The physical body recalibrating, ascending in consciousness:

Our physical bodies are healing lifetimes of battle, of war, embedded memories of earth’s ancestral history which has been built upon war and fighting.  It’s not an easy brief for us to change this pattern and our attachment to this mode of ‘winning’.  As we experience the old emotions, we let go. It’s the higher perspective.

Potential for big healing, clearing old consciousness:  

Personal and collective healing...all possible...pandemic panic easing? 

I’m wondering how the pandemic energies will be affected by this immersion of our physical bodies into the unconscious collective energies of Pisces.  Pisces is regarded as one of the energies carrying collective illness of a fluid and/or spiritual nature.  Expansive Jupiter in Capricorn has made this a global de-structure, giving it political power and emphasis.   Interesting to see what will happen to our physical bodies during this time.

Our drive is directed onto our physical/spiritual healing:  

We won’t fail if we take the right steps for us personally!

Mars wants to ‘win’ whatever it takes.  However the Piscean pandemic energy is changing everything. Whatever the pandemic means to you is relevant to us as individuals and to our call for evolution of consciousness.  How we respond is right for us.  After all, Mars is our ‘I am’ divine self, our divine identity!

13th May:  Venus stations retrograde at 21 degrees 50 Gemini at 4.45 pm AEST...into the heart!

Until 25th June:  Direct at 5 degrees 20 Gemini

Art:  Rassouli ‘Revealing the Self’

Unification of the heart:  

Coming home to ourselves...love and acceptance!

Venus takes us into the labyrinth of exploration of our hearts, a journey to the past to help  us find unification, peace, harmony and divine love within us just as our Gemini mind is being awakened by Mercury.  

Gemini is a dual sign, represented by The Lovers Card in the Tarot, coming into divine union of the inner masculine/feminine.

Here’s an opportunity for coming into harmony and peace with ourselves:

This is going to be an interesting one but nevertheless promises a resolution of old conflicts, warring memories of the inner heart, masculine/feminine polarity.

These heart breaks may have played out in our lives in relationships of all kinds, disappointments, loss, grief, fear, despair. doubts, insecurities, feelings of unworthiness.  This is about all ‘relationships’...with ourselves first.

Heart and mind both travelling in Gemini:  Mercury reaching out, Venus reaching in!

The exploratory journey of Venus in these next weeks at this time in tandem with Mercury also travelling in Gemini offers the promise of unification of heart and mind, a coming into oneness of the mental and emotional bodies.  Mercury, our messenger may well be bringing in messages to the centre of our heart.

Accelerating potential for spiritual expansion of the heart:  

Hearing the voice of our heart...new dimensions calling!

Mars is taking a back seat for a few weeks, healing the physical body, fire and drive in the Pisces waters giving our hearts a chance to really feel into the deep love within us, reconciling our differences and accessing a new beauty, a new vision of how life can be.  

A retrograde is an inner spiritual acceleration opening the doors of our minds and hearts to higher consciousness, a new vision of ourselves and our place in the world.  Plenty of messages from our higher consciousness will be coming through if we open to feeling our hearts, opening to our deeper yearnings for the experience of love beyond previous experience.

The Sabian Symbol for Venus’ station: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

This symbol sets the agenda for Venus’ retrograde journey until 25th June.  Naturally, the beginning stages of the ending of ‘lockdown’ in many parts of the world could well be likely in the coming months.  The return and embrace of the simple pleasures of life is most certainly already happening and possibly building in value and importance in these coming months, taking us on to new potentials.

 

Gemini 22

DANCING COUPLES CROWD THE BARN IN A HARVEST FESTIVAL

This Symbol shows the need to regularly celebrate life and its bounty and harvest. When the work’s been done, achievements have been made and there is a sense of security and 'Harvest' in the air, it is time to celebrate with one another. Gathering people together, there is a need to get back to a simple, conservative level of enjoyment. There's a sense of being in tune with seasonal rhythms and taking some time out to enjoy and de-stress. The feeling of a healthy heart and a healthy mind, while taking a break from the struggles of providing, can bring joy to everyone. See if you can take time out to celebrate and to enjoy your relationships, friends and environment. Celebrating the warmth and providence of the Earth. The joy of nature's harvest. Joining others to celebrate. Rhythmical or seasonal adjustments. Dancing. Barns and dance halls.

15th May:  Jupiter stations retrograde at 27 degrees 14 Capricorn at 12.32 am AEST...a pause!

Until 12th September

Seekers and crusaders awakened to truth and justice in ‘the system’:

Jupiter is the crusader, the seeker of divine justice, freedom, truth and wisdom.  He’s been travelling all year in the sign of ‘the system’, the status quo, tradition, structure which govern the rules, laws and the structure of the system.

‘Easy Rider’ meets the power brokers of the world:  Collision or collusion?

The expansion of government power and focus on maintaining physical and financial security has been a global expression of Jupiter’s expansive energies as he calls everyone for an uplift and expansion of consciousness.  In what ways have we bought into the system?

Integrating the physical and spiritual:  Awakening the spirit within!

It hasn’t been easy for him travelling in earthy ambitious Capricorn which is currently so strongly based on the power of money, consumerism and economic interests.  That’s the world we’ve created.  With the contraction of this economic basis of our world, we are being forced to re-examine new ways of growing and living.

Temperance:  Ongoing balance of ‘us and them’!

Jupiter’s ‘easy rider’ is learning to temper the wild adventurous freedom loving side with the inner growth. It’s all about the expansion versus contraction energies of this year. When does compromise become a dirty word? 

Time to ‘fess up to our own complicity in creating our world:  

We are players in the whole societal game...needing to ‘belong’!

With so many realising who holds the reins of power, there’s been a big waking up to what controls our world, what we eat, wear, think, feel, believe and how we spend or invest our money.  All advertising appeals to our base instincts, the need to be loved, accepted and to belong. It’s all conditioning for us to be working with the family, the community, the society.  That’s how society keeps going. 

Acceptance of our role in feeding the world power base opens up our own consciousness to new ways of thinking, feeling and acting!

Our call is to find where we fit in this whole interdependent world, society, community, family. Once we accept the ways in which we are ‘addicted’ to societal norms, keeping up appearances, being ‘cool’, we are in a position to deal with the inner bonds which hold us to the group mind. We are part of society and we need the support of society but we also need to take responsibility for our own behaviours if we are going to take on the world.  We’ve all been ‘feeding’ the power base of consumerism which controls the world.

Good time to choose our new pathway:  

War and conflict or peace, harmony and love...energy follows focus

In our history it’s only when individuals or groups went on strike, stopped adhering to the social or economic rules that the powers were awakened.  That has been the way of the past, through uprising, revolution and war, the combative war-like way of confrontation.  

Maybe this will continue, given that Mars, God of War will be in his own sign of Aries from June to January 2021.  We have the capacity to say no in a direct manner.  We have a legal system. But we also have the power to exercise economic choice and utilise our inner powers of manifestation. We can give energetic support from a distance.

From now to 12th September: 

All ‘undercover’ work...growth and expansion within leads to expansion without! 

Where do we send our energy?

I like to think there is a better way aside from direct confrontation and war if we can but put our energies into energetic work with our innate creative spirit, building our power through this time of inner expansion. At this time, our greatest source of power is investing our energies in ourselves as aware, creative beings knowing where we put our attention, our focus, our being.  Everything’s an illusion, a physical creation manifesting from the minds of the masses.

How many of us can imagine a new world, envision a different way of living and then back it up with right action?

Jupiter is interested in spiritual evolution, the evolution of consciousness through ‘higher’ learning, whether academic, religious or spiritual.  He dips into all spheres of understanding including the spiritual warrior on the pilgrimage to the top of the mountain.  However, his mountain of achievement is very different to what Capricorn energy has become in our world. Achievement is based on building money, power and success through the status quo, the economy and global capitalism.

Sabian Symbol for Jupiter’s retrograde ‘station’: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

The Sabian Symbol for Jupiter’s station seems to capture the present spirit of the collective with a lot of information coming forth from mainstream media along with social media.  This symbol sets the agenda for Jupiter’s retrograde journey until 12th September 2020. 

Capricorn 28

A LARGE AVIARY

This Symbol shows being able to take in a lot of information, to be social, yet have some time alone. The “Large Aviary” has a lot of citizens, all buzzing around, all interacting and full of life. There is a lot of chattering and flitting from one thing to another going on and while there is no harm being done, perhaps, sometimes, there's nothing much really being achieved. Is this because there is a level of mental confusion happening? At the least there is likely to be a feeling of brotherhood and not being alone, in fact, finding time alone can be difficult. Clairaudience. Many inner voices. Lots to say - little content. Communicating only in the immediate environment. The Internet. Bird songs. Confined spaces. Psychic. The media.

That’s all folks!   Hugs all around! 

We’re getting a good soaking and relax if we can but allow it to happen. Our physical bodies are ready to release old toxic energies we’ve gathered from the collective unconscious, from history, from the past and now we’re taking time to release and renew in preparation for the second half of this year which promises more ongoing changes.

On our way to the Sun in Gemini and a New Moon in Gemini so working with Venus, Mercury and the planetary north node in Gemini makes it very clear we need to steady the polarised mind, heart as we wash away the collective victim consciousness in the Pisces waters and travel the cosmic star light with Saturn in Aquarius. 

Are we ready for the ‘100th monkey’ to tip the balance of consciousness?  It’s up to us to invest the energy and vision in the new world and convey our insights and creative ways of thinking to others.  We are the ‘creative think tank’ who can inform the masses as we send out our images and thoughts into the airwaves...telepathically!

Love and blessings to us all as we negotiate these tricky times, allowing each other to work things out for ourselves.  It’s all good as long as we stay focussed on being true to ourselves and living in love. Take care of yourselves.  These planets stationing retrograde can be totally draining, exhausting.
