Can you feel it? Earth's vibration is accelerating. Like the electromagnetism of an egg drawing in the perfect seed with which to be fertilized, so too mother Gaia opens to receive intentions woven with the devotional embodiment of your true nature.
"Know thy Self." ~ Socrates
Know also the power of your source. In astrology, the Sun (and more specifically the zodiac sign it transited through the moment you were born) represents your source. From this source you tap into the unlimited power to create, to be miraculous, and to experience the joy of being alive. What disconnects you from this divine source symbolizes your ego.
"What is your ego? Your ego is nothing more than an idea that you carry around with you everywhere you go. This idea tells you that you are the sum total of what you have, or what you do and who you are. Ego insists that you are a separate being, that your personality and your body are your essence and that you are in competition with every other ego to get your share of the pie which is limited and finite. Therefore ego asserts you must be wary of others." ~ Dr. Wayne Dyer
Countless permutations of this perpetual mechanism of separation have been exposed both in our culture and within ourselves. The lies we're told, especially the one's we tell ourselves, are up for a monumental reconciliation. Throughout this post I will highlight some important dates where planetary alignments will spark enormous opportunities to channel and create alchemy with what might otherwise be triggering or challenging. I invite you to keep in mind, the specific dates and transits are secondary in importance to maintaining an omnipresent awareness that the ego-based structures once maintained as truth are dying a timely death.
I'm going to start at the outer most weigh station of our trans-personal awareness (Pluto) and move in from there, denoting important dates associated with these planets.
Pluto squares Uranus (several times):
Pluto in Capricorn reminds us the clarity of truth we seek is revealed
when we release our grasp on the fallacy of the past. With history
untangling from the web of our unconscious fears and illusions, we're
called like never before to generate with this available energy the
conscious light of a new dawn.
Uranus in Aries demands us to step into our warrior archetypal awareness and break through the false boundaries of perceived limitation.
Dates and dynamics for exact Pluto-Uranus squares:
June 24, 2012 - this one has added punch with the Sun opposing Pluto and squaring Uranus. We will all be called to remember all despair and suffering in this world (and the global and domestic political landscape claiming to have the solution) is only the illusion of our internal memories and fears, propagated by the ego, to keep us asleep.
September 18, 2012 - once again the Sun jumps in, this time opposing Uranus and squaring Pluto. Rebel not against the outward appearance of the shadow, but your inner identification with it.
May 20, 2013 -now that you're embodying your truth, your thoughts and communication must align with it.
November 1, 2013 - this one will be a wild ride. The stage is being set for the true alchemist in all of us to step forth and be reborn by integrating all the energy freed up by the ongoing death cycle of the old structures.
Neptune: The planet of divine mother energy will be in Pisces, the sign it rules, until 2025. The paranormal will be the new normal through this progression. In a nutshell, we're awakening to faculties that are innate to the human design, but dormant in most of us until now. Tune in. Listen. Be guided not by your rational mind (ego), but your intuitive heart.
Uranus: see above
Saturn: The planet of limitation, discipline and structure has been retrograde in Libra since February, and goes direct on June 25, 2012. Everywhere relationships have been difficult, and you've struggled against irritability and feeling a lack of "something" is where your falsely perceived limitations of yourself are up for reconciliation. I encourage you to dial in your relationship to the trans-personal planets mentioned above before Saturn goes direct. They're always available, but Saturn's retrograde softens the barrier so that we can access and solidify our connection to these seemingly "other-worldly" faculties.
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing
is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~ Albert Einstein
Jupiter: The planet of expansion progresses through Taurus and into Gemini on June 11, 2012. Ground now, especially with the full moon in Scorpio, all your intentions for this year. Let the remainder of Jupiter's transit through Taurus expand the seeds your planting (RIGHT NOW) deep into the Earth. The Scorpio full Moon will water the seeds of our deepest intention, so that in six months (when the moon is full in Taurus), we will be harvesting fruits in unprecedented volume.
"You are a magical person who can manifest your clear intentions into
reality. Recall the times of your magical abilities, and then put them
to use immediately for the good of the entire planet. Resume the
mission that was once aborted through the misdeeds of past-time
leaders. Take up your spiritual arms and move with swift speed into the
night, awakening one and all to the magic that is life itself." ~ Doreen Virtue
Mars: The planet of the warrior demands great discipline and service in Virgo. Use your power and strength to initiate and create with your underlying purpose as a peaceful warrior in service to the world at large. Resistance will arise in equal measure to all that you initiate, and the 4th way (Gurdjieff's "The Work") insists that you cease identification with the denying energy that obstructs your limitless potential. Here you take responsibility for what is arising in your field of awareness and experience. Transform the negativity into creative energy. Transform the positivity into creative energy. With the full moon in Scorpio, the transformational message is to let go of ALL that has been, go deeper, plant seeds with the resonant vibration of your heart and CREATE your path accordingly.
Any path is only a path. And there's no a front to oneself or to
others in dropping it if that's what your heart tells you to do." ~
Carlos Casteneda
Venus: The planet of the lover and what (and who) you're attracting into your life goes retrograde in Gemini on May 15, 2012 and direct again on June 27. This transit invites a review of how we're communicating, the limitations of the mind and the current that projects our unconscious stuff into the world. If you thought the Republican primaries were ugly, the run up to the 2012 election will make those shadow projections and attacks look like child's play.
***We have a VENUS TRANSIT http://www.transitofvenus.org/ on June 5 at 6:09 PM (PDT). Mark your calendar, grab your eclipse glasses http://telescopes.net/store/awb-solar-eclipse-shades.html and watch the planet of love and attraction pass over our divine source. Focus your thoughts, generated from the seat of your heart, on that which you want to feel in your life, and in this world. Let go of all limitations. Say yes to love. Sing it in everything you do throughout the rest of the year. Carry the vibration into everything you create.
Mercury: The planet that rules our communication and our cognitive abilities will go from Aries, where it's added agitation and fire to our self-defeating thoughts, into Taurus on May 8. Here you can lighten up and direct your thoughts into the architecture of your worldly pleasures. Let this focus fuel Mercury as it enters Gemini, the sign it rules on May 24. This will dial the mind into the aforementioned intuition and root the vibrations we put out into the love the Venus Sun transit inspires.
Additional dates. We have a solar eclipse at 4:46 PM (PDT) on May 20, 2012, visible on the west coast of North America (among many places). For info. on when and where you can see it, visit Solar Eclipse . As far as the astrology is concerned, the sun and moon will be at zero degrees Gemini. Another potent opportunity for us all to recognize our thoughts create our reality. Step out of subjective identification and into objective oneness with all energies as they arise. Let it ALL feed your creative endeavors. Align with the groundless nature of existence, in preparation for more and more of the old constructs that are ripe to fall away in the months to come.
The moon waxes full in Scorpio as I type this. Get clear. Focus attention on the seeds of your intentions. Let the soma rain of this moon water these seeds. Play with this, for the next six months. What are you going to harvest when the moon waxes full in Taurus in November? The universe is offering us all the transformative energy we need to deconstruct the blocks that prevent us from manifesting our dreams - or perhaps better stated, allowing our dreams to manifest us! To do this, the integration of your ego, in all its complexities, is paramount to transforming the imbalances within and without. It is up to each and every one of us to look in the mirror and die to all patterns and identifications that no longer serve. Imagine what you can create with that available energy...
"God does not command that we do great things, only little things with great love." ~ Mother Theresa
Thank you for your creative contribution to our collective awakening.
