Full Moon in Aries/Sun in Libra – 29º.

What? Two Full Moons in Aries in a row. Is the cosmos making a statement here. I think so. How could it be otherwise. The last Full Moon at the Fall Equinox was at 0º Aries and this Full Moon is at 29º Aries. Did I mention there were going to be five (5) Full Moons in a row at 29º? I did. But it bears mentioning again. What is the significance of 29º? It represents the ending of a cycle, a completion, an encompassing of all the previous aspects and influences, a summation, like the long journey up to the steps of the temple where you turn and look out over your life, acknowledging what has brought you to this point and then removing your shoes and garments and entering the temple without pretense or past. That’s where we are at this time.

We are completing a major cycle of consciousness in the evolution of our planet. We have five Full Moons in a row to contemplate where we have been, what we intend to shed and then to enter this new phase, clean and unencumbered by the past. But of course, there is work to do to enter a higher frequency energy in a clear and unencumbered state.

The Sun in Libra, also at 29º, opposite the Aries Moon has only benevolent aspects in this chart- to Pluto/Ceres and to the Nodes. The Moon also is aspected in a positive way to Pluto/Ceres and the North Node (point of growth and what we need to develop). There is no hint of the T-square of the entire summer that had us in the pressure cooker on high heat on the stove of ‘change-or-get-left-behind’. We made it. We are lighter, leaner, sobered. This is the Moon to celebrate our initiation into our relationship with our true Selves. Look around you into the eyes of your cohort that has embraced the challenge of deep societal transformation enacted from the inside out.

Aries as the first sign of the zodiac wheel is where we learn courage and create a (new) personal identity. The Ram has enthusiasm, assertiveness, and passion and loves a challenge. Its ruler, fiery Mars, calls in our physical energy and sexuality. Use the thrust of this energy to clean out the old patterns of holding yourself in a certain way and to open up the container of relationship to let in more loving kindness. Use your courage to shine out your inner gifts of beauty at the highest level possible. Let the enthusiasm of Aries fill your every contact and interaction.

Many of the personal planets are in Scorpio (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and asteroid Vesta), and we are only 1º away from a Scorpio Sun on Saturday, Oct. 23, at 6:35 AM MDT. With the Sun in Libra, the sign of relationship, and the Moon in Aries, the sign of the self, and their respective rulers, Venus and Mars in Scorpio, we are asked to take back our power for ourselves and use it to examine, penetrate, and let our secrets be revealed and surrendered. There are ways that our psyches are armored that keep our pure, divine expression deeply in check – enculturation, trauma, unsuccessful relationships, being driven deeply into survival strategies, endless witnessing of horrors to our fellow human beings via media all contribute to our inaccessibility to our relationship to our True Source. You can feel the protected places in the body where the life force no longer flows freely. The combination of Aries and Scorpio provides us with the courage to go deeply into these reservoirs of separation and release ourselves. This is our work now – freeing ourselves from the programming of the past that is locked in our very bones. Almost everything in this chart points to re-establishing a new relationship (Libra) with our selves (Aries) and from that we will be able to build a new foundation for relationship with mutually powerful others, and from that create a community/society from the ground up with a spiritual commitment to the whole. That’s what the Age of Aquarius is about in one sense, a grassroots movement to build a society based on truth, love and equality.

Pluto and Ceres are playing a big role now and in this chart. They have been dancing together for most of this year. This is the theme of balancing the power between the masculine and feminine that we as global awakeners have stepped up to integrate through our recreating of ourselves, our relationships, the way we work and live, vote, spend our resources, and how we treat others. Forgive and heal the masculine within and without. Empower the feminine in yourself and in all areas of your life. Mars, the masculine Warrior, is involved in the only stressful aspect in this chart. Mars squared to Chiron (and Neptune as witness) suggests what the masculine has carried from the past is aligned to open and heal now utilizing the detached compassion of Aquarius. Let’s all focus on our fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, uncles, lovers, teachers, friends and all the Shivas in our lives and send them love and forgiveness from our deepest selves. Much can be healed in this way. The chart is asking us to bring that masculine part of ourselves into balance.

This Full Moon will help us make our way to the top of that mountain, take a deep breath and survey all that we have accomplished. There is much to celebrate!

The Tree of Good Feeling

Posted on by

While working with one of my healing clients, an idea came to me to help better explain how the principle of, as Abraham advises, “reaching for better feeling thoughts”, actually gets us where we want to go. The analogy I saw in my vision is of a tree. If you think of a tree, you see a strong, sturdy trunk with many branches evolving into even more branches and finally ending in either leaves, flowers or fruit.

The way this was shown to me, the trunk represents your core belief; in this case, your belief in your happiness and your ability to give yourself happiness and feel good. The stronger that belief, the larger the trunk of the tree. Obviously, if your belief is not that strong, then the trunk of your ‘tree of good feeling’ will be correspondingly small and slight. Now even with a small tree, you can still find your way to happiness, but it won’t be as plentiful as with a big tree, and you won’t feel it as intensely and abundantly.

What you want to do is to get your level of belief in yourself and your happiness so strong, that you have a continuously larger and larger trunk. When this happens, you will have more and more branches. Each branch representing another circumstance of your happiness. One branch is your job, lets say, and each successive branching off this main branch shows you the different types of good feelings you get from your job. There’s the “I like my job” branch, then the “I like and enjoy my co-workers” branch, and so on. You get the idea.

Tree of Good Feeling

By looking at the separate, yet combined and attached, branches of each aspect of your life, you can begin to see how you can create new branches of happiness at will, by looking where each branch takes you and adding on new branches as you find the new happiness there. I see this as a great way of showing yourself the abundance of happiness you actually do have in your life, and by looking at it in this way, you then bring in even more happiness in all ways.

You can use this imagery for any aspect of your life to see how abundant that aspect is. Use it to see how much love is in your life at this moment, and how much peace, and joy, and well-being, and prosperity. Anything and everything can be applied to this process and you’ll get immediate understanding of where you are at with each of them. May your Tree be evergreen in all ways. =)

Reprinted from my Blessings of The Winter Solstice, 2008 post

I offer up this blessing:

Great and Eternal mystery, Great Spirit; God, Goddess, All that is; The Infinite Radiant Is. I thank you for this light and this life. For this beauty way. I thank you for this season of deep contemplation, reflection and retrospection. It is this time of season that offers us the opportunity to grow inwardly as we await the coming of the outward growth of Spring.

In this time of the short day and the long night, I give thanks for all that I have achieved this past year, and all that I will achieve in the new one. I offer up prayers and blessings of gratitude, and thanksgiving for the lessons I have learned; the relations of all varieties I have helped, and that have helped me to grow.

I thank you for this time of stillness so that I can once again hear my heart beat in time with the true rhythm of the Universe.

As we move forward from this Solstice day, I give thanks for the renewing energy that fills all of our lives with the mounting warmth of the new Sun and the new year.

In Gratitude; In Thanks; In Peace; In Wonderment; In Joy I say Ring Out Solstice Bells!

Brightest Blessings to all!

Ring Out, Solstice Bells by Jethro Tull

Now is the solstice of the year.
winter is the glad song that you hear.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Have the lads up ready in a line.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

Join together ‘neath the mistletoe,
by the holy oak whereon it grows.
Seven druids dance in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.

Praise be to the distant sister sun,
joyful as the silver planets run.
Seven maids move in seven time.
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming.

Ring out these bells.
Ring out, ring solstice bells.
Ring solstice bells.
Ring on, ring out.
Ring on, ring out.

The Power Of Thought

Posted on by

Your thoughts have the power to directly affect you and each aspect of your life. Your thoughts are the vital tools you use to create and shape the reality that you experience. Your thoughts are totally responsible for the creation of your emotional state on all levels, affecting your body, health and your daily living, influencing your responses to all your relationships, your life and in determining your choices.

Your thoughts have the power to enable reality on all levels of realities. At times however, this “reality” (let’s be honest here and call it what it is, your ego) will try to tell you otherwise. Your ego will have you believing that your fate lies outside of you. In other people’s hands, for instance, or to things that appear to be beyond your control. That is when you start to lose the power each of us has, which is the power and capability to create our reality.

When you “lose” this power, you then make it easier for others to change and manipulate your own world into that which they want it to be, instead of you transforming it yourself into what you really want it to be. Keep in mind that you and only you have that right and that power to make your own world and reality.

Whether you are creating or re-creating your own reality, maintaining a positive and healthy attitude is a major prerequisite. You have to remember that every success comes from your own capability to attract the positive energy that is available to us all. You have to recognize that you intentionally create every event that you live through for your enlightenment.

While you have been deceived by your ego self and appearances, the illusion constantly builds up like prison walls because you were not successful in bringing in the life force energy of happiness and positivity. You must concentrate on those things that guarantee a positive outlook and the concept of success.  The reason for this is simple yet very powerful. Being inside of and controlled by negative energy, it grows and brings in only negative energy.

Remember, Energy always flows to us. If we express negativity, then negative energy will stream to us, just like gasoline set on fire. The fire is attracted to the gasoline as a fuel source until the fire consumes everything and dies out. It cannot live without something assisting in its creation. The fire will wipe out everything in its path provided that there is still energy feeding it.  The moment that the fires fuel is gone, then the fire will, by the laws of nature, extinguish itself.

This is the exact same law that exists in every person’s thoughts and feelings. The energy you produce will feed on the same equivalent energy that is in existence within that certain thought.  Negative thoughts always feed on negative energy, and likewise in the same manner, positive thoughts always attract and feed on positive energy.

The more negative thoughts and feelings that you have, the more you’ll create negative energy all around you. This negative energy in time will literally build up so incredibly around your life that it can become almost impossible to achieve anything even remotely like a positive thought or feeling.

This explains why negative individuals have negative incidents happen to them.  Left unchecked, this negative energy goes on haunting certain individuals for years to such an extent that these people feel like they were born unlucky or that they are probably cursed. In point of fact, they created this negative energy solely by their thought patterns and have allowed it to accumulate to such an intense degree. 

Fortunately, you have the power to rewrite your reality. You have the ability to eliminate this negative energy that you have brought in. You can remove it with positive and inspiring thoughts, all the time, every time.  Continuously doing so will extinguish the negative fire burning within you. 

Here are a few simple ways that you can use to rewrite your thoughts and your reality:

1.  You must change your beliefs and your attitude concerning your current reality. Start by shifting your attention and focus in the direction that you believe will bring you more peace and happiness. Reverse negative thoughts into positive ones. Whenever a negative thought enters your mind, as soon as you can, recognize it for what it is, forgive yourself for having the “negative thought”, let it go and counter it with a positive thought.  Forgiveness is a huge step in the process of letting go of negativity. Remember, you are in the current position/situation, because of your past thoughts and feelings. Change to positive thought and feeling and your new reality will change to match the new energy.

2.  In your mind’s eye, create an image of what the new and positive reality that you want to achieve looks like and focus on it constantly. Make the image as real in your mind as you can make it. Add color and textures. Add sound and feeling to it. Surround it with as many positive “source images” as you can. A “source image” is an image that you already have an experience of, whether positive or negative. Bring in one (or more than one) that brought you peace and positivity and joy. When you need to decide on a certain aspect or situation in your life, refer to that image, to help you with your decision-making. 

3. Begin to heal all of your old negative thoughts. Take a look inside yourself and determine what needs to be worked on and how you want to work on it. Remember to keep focusing on the positive reality that you want to create and never be afraid to take the steps towards it.  Remember, negativity is fear. All fear is simply a fear of loss, so look at what you thought you were losing that made you afraid. Realize that you have lost nothing really, and that you can regain anything you “thought” you lost by changing how you think about it.

If you want to succeed in every circumstance in your life, it means that you must use the power of your thoughts to create the reality that you want. Bring your attention to a sharp focus on the thoughts, images and feelings that you want to project and achieve. Now, combined with the passionate, positive feeling you’ve nourished deep inside you, your thoughts will be able to bring to you all that you truly desire.

Brightest Blessings!
