Happy New Era! Three Things We Can Lean From 12/21/12

As an Astrologer I can’t let 12/21/12 go by without comment.

• First of all I am so glad I am not struggling through Mexico City traffic to help save the world. But I am glad some folks are. Who will ever know, whether or not, maybe we are still here going about our daily life because of the many prayers and meditations taking place around the world today. I thank them.
• Next and more importantly, I hope that this focus on this Winter Solstice for the whole world will have attuned we humans beings more closely to the cycles of nature, the stars, and themselves. Frustration, anger grow exponentially when we are out of sync with the seasons of the year and the seasons of our own life cycles.
• As a planet we have had a shared experience that wasn’t a disaster. So far it is 2pm pst.  We all as a generation of people will probably have good stories about what we did or didn’t do on 12/21/12.

So as we move into what comes next pay attention to your heart while you set an intention for transformation of….fill in the blank.

December 2012 Relax There is Nothing to Fear

The Sun is Conjunct the Galactic center

Here is planetary wisdom from of my teachers Stephanie@ecoastrology.com

Important Dates:

December 12: Alignment of 12-12-12

December 13: New Moon 12:42 AM PST (22º Sagittarius); Uranus turns direct (5º Aries)

December 18: Sun conjunct Galactic Center (27º Sagittarius) and opposite Ceres (27º Gemini)

December 21: Solstice 3:12 AM PST; end of Mayan Long Count Calendar, end of 26,000 year cycle

December 11, 2012

Dear Friends,

This is a very intense week, and a very, very special time. The next new moon, this month, and this year mark a momentous turning point, the end of a 26,000-year cycle, known by many names: the Great Awakening, the Ascension, the Mayan End Times, the Hopi Fifth World, Christogenesis, Timewave Zero, and others. The number 12 symbolizes completion — the union of heaven and earth, sacred and secular. December 12, 2012 and December 21, 2012, the dates most often given for this evolutionary passage, do not mark the end of the world, but rather the initiation of a global shift, from living in duality and materialism to realizing our unity and divinity. The dates 12-12 and 12-21 mark the peak of two immense cosmic waves, which have been building for a long time, and whose wake will continue through the end of this year and beyond.

There is nothing to fear. Relax. Rest. Release. Receive. Remember. 

• Relax in the knowing that you don’t have to do anything, that you always have choice. Do less and be more; the best “doing” comes from your “being”.

• Rest into the loving support that is holding you and assisting you through this transition. Your guides and angels are on standby, waiting for you to call on them. You only need ask.

• Release whatever is weighing you down and holding you back. Be in the present moment. Forgive others. Forgive yourself. Bless it all. Be grateful for what you learned.

• Receive the light, the love, the information that is pouring down from the heavens. The downloads may take a while to decode. Hold beginners mind. We are making a quantum leap.

• Remember who you really are. Remember that you were born and trained for these times. Remember that everything you need is inside you. Remember your heart knows the way.

Music of the Spheres Reminds Us We Are Star Dust

 Listen to this Lovely Remix to receive a download of Star Dust 🙂

I love it when Astrology and Astronomy conjoin to create a symphony of truth. FYI these sciences were once one. Keep a hold  of the the beauty and faith downloaded during this last full moon there will be another before the August is over.  Keep in mind we are in the middle of a the cosmic shift  and it is ripe for picking NOW ! You must choose to accept it. It won’t feel as good if it is forced upon you. And when things don’t feel so good or as Pema Choron author of “When Things Fall Apart” says “you feel squeezed” ask yourself what are you being asked to pay attention too?

What has changed in your life since May 1? What do expect to change by September 23?

I would love to hear how the stars are treating you this year or do you need advise or direction about how to dance with the Stars leave me a message in the comments.

Solstice Once Again Invites Our Intentions

Passion Flower is the perfect off-kilter Compass Rose for setting our direction at the turning of the season in 2012. We are at the extremes of light and dark. Paying attention to where we’ve been and where we are going is demanded right now as we proceed through the rest of the Labyrinth of 2012.

New Moon, Summer Solstice, Venus returning from her stay in the Underworld!  The Heavens are in a celestial traffic jam!!  What’s an Earthling to do? (invitation to a ritual celebration below)

June 20 Stand still, like the sun (remember solstice is when the sun stands still). Review where you’ve been for the last 6 months. When your ready set intention. New Moon is when farmers plant seeds. The rest of us plant seeds of ideas small nuggets that will blossom into full blown projects come the Full Moon.

Again on June 20, the Sun makes its celebrated move into Cancer. The next month will demand that more time and attention be spent on your home, family, emotional life and all-things domestic. This doesn’t mean you can’t be creative or ambitious — you’ll simply find that you’re bound to have more success doing whatever truly comes from your heart. Watch out for Cancer’s moody tendencies and recognize that if you’re feeling down, it’s only fleeting. Otherwise, enjoy the comforts of home and the deeper bonds you’ll develop with loved ones throughout this time! (Thank you for your words: Care 2 Astrology)

A Word or two from super Astrologer Caroline Casey about Venus “Let’s cahoot with Venus emerging from the Underworld embarking on her triumphant global tour, with the anti-dote to the compensatory hyper-yang and sociopathic disregard for life currently wreaking havok.”

Summer Solstice and Sun into Cancer— Wednesday June 20

The seasonal cycle of the year is created by the tilt of the Earth’s axis, leaning toward or away from the Sun, north to south, as the Earth orbits the Sun. Solstices are the extreme points all over the world when the days and nights are longest or shortest. Seasonal celebrations of most cultures cluster around natural turning points, here are a few of the world’s many holydays around summer solstice. Sun and fire festivals—Niman Kachina (Hopi). Goddess Festivals: Isis (Egyptian), Lithia (North African), Yellow Corn Mother (Taino), Ishtar (Babylonian), Hestia (Greek), Sunna (Norse).

As we celebrate this year’s seasonal rituals, we ask: how can we use the energy of these points on the solar wheel to express the deep transformations of 2012? In earth centered traditions, seasonal rituals not only celebrate change, they create it. As the Chrysalis of transformation hangs on the topmost branch of the World Tree, may our seasonal rituals become the birthing chants that call forth the new society, emerging bright-winged into a rejuvenated world.

Mother’s Day Celestial Extravaganza In Taurus

Petals of beauty and practicality fall at our feet

First of All Today

Taurus welcomes Mercury into his bull pen today May 9th. Our thought processes may slow down enough to get those bright ideas we had while the messenger god was in innovative Aries. Practical and beautiful projects can get off the ground  now.

Golden opportunities are springing up all over the place

– thanks to a life-enriching Sun-Jupiter parallel (5:39AM PDT)May 9th. If you are scratching your head trying to remember what a parallel is, then the key is to realize this is an aspect connected to the Celestial Equator rather than the ecliptic or apparent Sun’s path in the zodiac. Right now – from our vantage point on Earth – the Sun and Jupiter are both inhabiting 17+ degrees north of our Celestial Equator and this is called a parallel. It is similar to a zodiacal union and this Sun-Jupiter extravaganza is actually a stalking horse for this coming Mother’s Day Sunday actual conjunction of these two celestial bodies at 24 degrees of Taurus.  Having the two largest cosmic entities in our solar system together will offer up an enlightening vibes. From Care 2 Cosmic Calendar

Take this time to seek guides and guidance from Earthy beings plants and animals, fairies and the Farmers Almanac. We are moving closer to the Pluto Uranus square that signals the opening gate for the much storied upheavals of 2012 . What ever you do to keep your feet on the ground and present to each moment will serve you well.  Rick Hanson Just One Thing  offers  insightful thoughts on how to walk in the beauty of now and not worry.

Many Blessings

Twenty Twelve Blooms Bright

Be prepared for 2012   My yearly Forecast of  Myth and Meaning and  Symbols of this year will be January 14th  7pm in Albany sign up on my face book page.

Now is Lovely Time to Make Resolutions

We are offered a clear message at the opening of 2012 that humanity needs to understand the esoteric message of experiencing Harmony through Conflict – the keynote of one of the seven rays associated with the seven colors of the rainbow linking heaven to earth. When you are making New Year’s resolutions, keep in mind that the first day of 2012 actually carries a buoyant and optimistic tone.

The  delightful Moon sextile Venus sets the tone early in the day  January 1, 2012.   How about we capture that delicate light and use it for a guiding light through the labyrinth of this much heralded “end of the world” year.

My take on all the noise about this new year being so auspicious is that it is a wake up call to pay attention and set intention. Our brains works on images and symbols and metaphors. Cultures for centuries all over the world have create images to guide human to understand the unknowns of the future. Everything from our dreams, the Mayan Calendar to the Chinese Dragon (this years animal) are here to guide and teach us to be our best self our and best community.  I don’t have to tell you how our planet is in trouble but it is our souls and our hearts are what will save it. Listening closely to that still small voices is a good way to start.

The symbols from  Astrology are stepping up to guide us right from the beginning of the year. Starting with Mars, January 22, each of the personal planets will be retrograde for a number of weeks. until the beginning of July.  We will have a chance  search the meaning of our Power with Mars, our Love with Venus our structure with Saturn and finally our communication with Mercury.  I will Keep you posted for the exact dates

There’s more astrology in 2012 coming your way through Carolisle and my forecast. I’ll be happy to be your guide.
Happy New Year, Have no Fear, We’ll all be here Next Year.
