We have some transformational action in the here and now, with more to come on the horizon. Where to begin... What to say...
My Yogi Tea quote for today sums it up nicely... “When you are in tune with the unknown, the known is peaceful.”
In this way, the dance of energy in our solar system and the unique angular relationships (or aspects) of the planets transiting 360 degrees around the Sun is the unknown. If we can tune ourselves with the multitudinous vibrations these aspects generate, the frequency we dial can be exceedingly peaceful. If peace is your intent, love your religion, awakening your path and truth your mission, there's plenty of planetary mojo to support the transformation of all that is not peaceful, within and without.
Mark November 13, 2012 on your calendar. We have a solar eclipse in Scorpio happening at 2:07 PM (PST). Lacking visibility in the northern hemisphere, we need only feel this new moon and align it with our innermost intentions. Augmented by the North Node of the Moon just five degrees away, this new moon is a window into our destiny. While spring is the customary season to plant our seeds, every new lunar cycle offers a unique soil with which to cultivate. Scorpio's new moon encourages us to cultivate our innermost truth and transform (i.e. let die) anything and everything in our lives that exists on a vibratory plane other than what we feel in our hearts to be true. As the night gets longer and the weather grows colder, the time is now to transmute the darkness into light. How best to do this depends on your answer to the following question... Where does your mind obscure your light with false identifications, denial and outdated labels?
Mercury’s retrograde transit from November 5 - 26 carries with it an invitation to pause and review the laundry list of bullshit you’ve been sold and continue to resell to yourself and others. Instead of acting according to what you “think” you “should” do, tap deeply into what you feel called to do. Taking great care not to identify with the seemingly negative emotions that arise in relationship to what you feel, transform how you are with what you feel. Feeling angry? Sad? Frustrated? Limited? Less than? Unworthy? Feel it without identification. No one makes you feel what you feel. Perhaps someone’s actions stir up a feeling of anger, or sadness, or frustration, but it’s yours and yours alone to reconcile. This energy needs an outlet and while we most commonly default to reacting unconsciously, this world can ill-afford anymore unconscious projections. Now’s the time to be response able and relate with this energy from the balanced and dis-identified place inside yourself that reconciles the negativity and puts it to good use by tuning into the truth of its opposite. What if your anger is the gateway to peace, your sadness the threshold of contentment, your frustration the window to acceptance? Let's face it, it is a fundamental law of physics that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In this world of duality, it also makes sense that every emotion has an equal and opposite emotion. Whatever side of the fence you've been dialing into, the key is identifying with none of it. The waves ebb and flow like the ocean tides, and now that Neptune, the Greek God of the Sea and the solvent that dissolves the false limitation's of the ego, is progressing forward after many months retrograde, this is the time to let our logical mind rest and give ourselves over to our intuitive guidance. It's like we're being downloaded with a cosmic GPS system that can receive information from other planes of consciousness.
Neptune is orbiting through the sky in its dignified constellation, Pisces, which is it’s optimal frequency. Every planet rules a sign. Some rule two. When a planet transits through the sign they “rule,” their influence strengthens within our individual and collective psyche. What is Neptune? Neptune dissolves the veil (or ego) most of us hide behind. We veil our truth for fear of the denying influences of suppression and limitation, the domains of Saturn. Neptune helps dissolve the limiting attachments we have to the Saturnian world of form and structure. With Pluto in Capricorn's ongoing square dance with Uranus in Aries, Saturn’s three year residence in Scorpio accelerates the inevitable collapse and requisite transformation of outdated structures. Neptune in Pisces is exactly what we need to best align ourselves to create with all the available energy that arises when these inauthentic structures dismantle.
In a nutshell, Neptune’s forward movement into Pisces stirs the refined idealism of oneness with spirit (which encompasses both light and dark) and breathes this deeply into our consciousness. If you thought your dreams were taking you places before, fasten your seatbelt, hang your dreamcatcher and enjoy the ride. The wounds buried in our subconscious are surfacing (revealing our deeper purpose). Contrary to how painful this might feel, this is exactly where we want to be. This darker time of year, while often challenging, provides each and every one of us the creative fuel we need, from a place few among us are comfortable with. When we breathe into everything we feel, without identification and labels, we can align our intentions with whatever energy is arising. Imagine who you are, without attachment to what you’ve been labeled (by your self, your family and your culture) throughout your lifetime. Dropping all labels and the accompanying emotional associations (or false personalities) they generate opens us to the possibilities of a Neptune-in-Pisces-infused manifestation of our individual and collective dreams.
The warrior planet Mars enters Capricorn, the sign of its exaltation (which means this planet's awareness will be in great supply) on November 16. This will bring more focus to the transformational fires. Like a welder, we're going to be melting the steel-trap mind that's held antiquated fixations in place for far too long. I suggest you relax for the next few days. Let yourself be nurtured by the cosmic solvent of Neptune as it moves ever-so-slowly forward. There’s plenty of work to be done, much of it inner-work as we progress toward the winter solstice. Mars in Capricorn will help immensely to strengthen us through this time. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint. With Mercury retrograde until 11/26, you might want to curb the yearning to start new projects or agree to something contractually until your cognitive faculties have greater clarity. Let Mercury go direct before you make up your mind on anything. Be with the changing tides and see where they take you. Be honest with yourself, and others. Perhaps best stated in a quote from The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini... "To lie is to murder the truth for your fellow man."
With love and gratitude for everyone dancing this dream awake, I bid you a blessed winter solstice and thank you for your contribution to our collective awakening.
Stellar blessings,
