Monday, May 20, 2013 - First Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Libra - Tara

This day comes in a bit challenging. The Sun moves into Gemini later today, joining Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and the Black Moon. The presence of Jupiter in Gemini expands all of the themes associated with Gemini: relationships, travel, communication, mental processes, speed, just to name a few. The Black Moon in Gemini brings up fears of rejection and disapproval, and being alone.

We will be transitioning into new energy during a window of time between 1:00 pm EDT/ 5:00 pm UTC and 5:00 pm EDT/ 10:00 pm UTC.

It is important to be flexible and open to changes today. Most likely things will not go precisely according to plan, especially before the window of time begins. A change of mind(set) is happening today, so clinging to the old or familiar will make this harder for us. If you are restricting growth and change, it will show up (and perhaps manifest in the body). New opportunities are emerging, and we need to move on to them. If you are experiencing a problem with this, be kind to yourself - not critical. Accept that you need to make a change and things will flow from there.

If things aren't going the way you want or if you are working on something and getting frustrated, drop it and come back to it in a little while. Taking a walk to stepping outside will help tremendously.

Today is unusual in that the energy shift is dramatic and requires a conscious adjustment. This is due to Jupiter and the Black Moon in Gemini with the Sun's energy now added. The Black Moon will move into Cancer on June 9, the day after the New Moon in Gemini, so we will not have this compounded effect for long. Jupiter compounds things anyway, but with the Sun moving into Gemini also, well, it's a lot.

Expect to shift emotional and physical states as the day progresses. Think of it as being in bloom, like the roses in the photograph above of my mother's garden.

Saturday, May 18 - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - First Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Virgo - Tara

In case you are not following on Twitter, an M-3 class solar flare was released yesterday and directed at Earth. I wrote that the energy contained in any flare that might be released would be game or life changing.

The fact that this was an M-class flare and not an X-class flare (which sunspot AR1748 had only released so far) enables us to benefit from the energy without it disrupting us technologically (in the form of taking out satellites, etc.). This is by design. The divine being embodied as the Earth has no intention to let our civilization return to "zero point" or, in other words, take us back to some version of a pre-industrial or even a semi-industrial society. This does not mean that she will not take down certain individual technological elements that would strategically serve the betterment of the species by them being gone. She will do this over time and is, in fact, already doing it. We will continue to see more "proof" of how our co-creation with Gaia-Sophia is evolving.

Saturday's energy favors collaborative endeavors and sharing. Anything we do will be easier and smoother if we have some help or share the responsibility to complete it. Also, if someone feels that they have been doing or giving more than their fair share or that they are being taken advantage of, it is likely to surface today.

Sunday's energy brings the tendency to focus far too much on appearances. This is not just the aesthetic appearance of things as in how much or little beauty they hold, but also on the appearance of success in a myriad of forms. The integrity or core or truth of things determines its future success - not the outer facade. Focus should switch from superficial values to spiritual values (which I would call whatever comes from love). It doesn't matter what something looks like or what it tries to project. What matters is what is behind it - what it stands on. Don't be deceived and don't trick yourself into thinking that appearances matter that much.

Friday, May 17, 2013 - Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Leo - Tara - M3 flare

Today's photograph would not fit properly in the picture box above, so take a look at the whole photo sent to me by many wise owls. Owls are everywhere! And they are well-ensconced in the fabric of the planet.

Today's energy brings a reawakening of something, something brought back to life, second chances.

That is all we really need to know today. If you are interested in a more complex understanding, read on. But if it begins to frustrate you, leave it be. Return to it later if you want.

The consciousness of the Sun is collaborating with the consciousness of the Earth to evoke certain responses within the consciousness of humanity. Sunspot AR1748 continues complex activity, though when the spot turned directly toward Earth, it ceased flares. Relatively speaking, the earlier flares this week were pretty rapid in succession - power punches. Instead of being bombarded with the energy for change, we are being guided through changes with tenderness. Such is Gaia-Sophia's love for humanity. Did you know you were that loved?

If this sunspot does send a flare, the intent will be different from the intent of the flares sent earlier this week. Remember that we are dealing with the properties of light (which is information that ultimately leads to some sort of action, change, or alchemy).

All flares affect the electric Universe. When flares are directed at a planet with life forms, the life forms of that planet feel it the strongest because it was intended that way. Flares are coded with specific information. They are signals. Very loosely speaking, astrology is a method for explaining the spiritual-scientific processes involved in the evolution of life and it can tell us the specific information of the flare, and therefore what it is designed to do. We look at what degree the Sun is located at (from our perspective on Earth) to determine this.

The degree of the Sun today involves a reawakening of something. It brings something back to life. It brings second chances. If a flare is released today, these themes will be empowered. I, for one, am making a wish upon our Star for this to happen because it is game/experiment/life-changing.

Thursday, May 16, 2013 - Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Leo - Tara

Today, like a string being pulled, something emerges from deep within us. You may be surprised or think you didn't have it in you. This energy finds things that are latent, dormant, or undeveloped. It can be anything - a feeling, a talent, a belief, an injustice, the spirit to stand up - there are no limits with this. But it comes from the seats of our souls and it tells much about who we really are. The activation of this element from deep within us is part of the energetic upgrade that occurred over last lunar month. Something needs to come into the light today, and it is part of the teaching that Tara brings us this month.

If involved in something important to your future today, do not go in unprepared or overconfident. Double check yourself and come from your heart. While this may sound like generalized, parlor astrology talk, it is more important to do this today than it would be on most days.

The electric Universe is still reverberating with X-class flare solar energy, and spaceweather.com predicts a 60% chance of another X flare today. Remember this is "agitating" our personal electric fields, causing some to react hyper-emotionally and erratically.

If you have been following these reports for a while, you may remember that we implemented a shamanic technique of carrying around an energetic "quiver of arrows" that we shoot at "negative" forces when encountered. We mentally shoot a light arrow at something that is attacking. Most often this is a negative thoughtform - an Archontic intrustion. There is heightened need to keep our quivers filled today. We can blow away anything that attempts to drag us down.

As always, remember to find beauty and a reason to fall back in love with the planet. There are lots of reasons, but one will do.

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Leo - Tara

Today Tara, the Mahavidya who is directing this month, asks us to take ourselves out of time. That is, to suspend focus on the past or future and concentrate wholly in the present. If you take direction well, you will notice that your attention gravitates to something for intense observation. From that we gain insight or wisdom. To facilitate this little gift today, go outside and pay close attention to the natural world. This will help shift to the appropriate brainwave. I know everyone here has a deep connection with nature and I really do not need to mention that we should go outside, but life is fast and sometimes it bears reminding.

As many of you know, the Sun has been producing X flares over the past couple of days. This is "agitating" all sorts of fields, including electromagnetic. There are many subtle fields that make up who we are. Agitation of fields does not necessarily mean we are agitated or angry. It means activity. Our newly upgraded fields are being bounced with waves. It sounds like a symphony - music to our ears.

Follow impulses regardless of the chances for success. Heartfelt efforts will reverberate, affecting the fields of probability.

Desires are pressed into the forefront today. We haven't talked about Tara as far as desires go. It would be a good exercise to have this in the back of our minds while we are keenly focused on the present moment today.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Cancer - Tara

This lunar month is about opening up and venturing into new areas of consciousness. Today, amidst a long period where we were not at in control, we come to energy to produce order in our lives. We can put things in their places, freeing up even more space. Our minds will organize factors and situations that have developed since April 10 - the beginning of the astrological new year.

We are "reaching into" the new suit of clothes we are wearing (our upgraded energetic frequencies). As we become accustomed to the feel, we will see that we are more powerful than we were before the upgrade. It is up to each of us to use this wisely.

Don't hold yourself back today. Follow the path that is before you, but do it consciously. Watch the scenery. What is around you? What are you transforming? Where are things going?

Saturday, May 11 - Sunday, May 12, 2013 - New Moon Phase - Tara

If you can attach to it, this weekend's energy helps us transcend worries, especially those worries related to safety, assurance, loss, and abandonment. This is courtesy of the Mahavidya Tara, the Goddess Who Guides Through Troubles, working with the conjunction of the Sun, Mercury, and Pallas Athena at the degree known as "a white dove flying over troubled waters."

Last month we had a massive "upgrade" to our energetic fields/frequencies. We are able to take ourselves into new territory because we are able to process more information (light). This month, Tara is "on duty" and she is intimately associated with the spectrum of light. She loves multiple colors. She runs the gamut. She works with all levels of awareness. Some of the Mahavidyas favor certain groups of people (as in the way Matangi prefers those who are marginalized); Tara is working to bring everyone into clearer awareness.

The Mahavidyas are the Wisdom Goddesses but they are also the Goddesses Who Slay Demons. That means the Archons. The Archons intrude upon our minds and press negativity into service. The negativity causes self-destruction and destruction of the collective. This weekend the negativity that is pressed into service involves the issues stated above - issues of safety, assurance, loss, and abandonment. If these types of thoughts begin to intrude upon you, recognize that it is an Archontic trick to deceive you and fly over it.

There is no room for the intrustion this weekend because it's Mother's Day weekend and we honor All Mothers, including the mother of us all, Gaia Sophia. Go outside, connect with whatever the natural world is painting in front of you and send love. This parliament of wise owls knows the deal keeps it real.

Friday, May 10, 2013 - New Moon Phase - Tara

Today's picture was taken J. Schoeppmeyer by of the Solar Eclipse over Australia and posted on spaceweather.com.

We pick up even more speed as the Moon moves into fast and airy Gemini today. The tendency is toward carelessness, superficiality, impulsivity, derelection, and a know-it-all attitude. We don't want to get swept up with any sort of mindset that hints of hopelessness. So we will counter with closer attention to details, patience, and a general slowing of the pace.

The Mahavidya Tara comes on scene later today. I would like to remind everyone that most of what you read about the Mahavidyas in "ancient" Hindu texts or on the internet is patriarchal/control-oriented distortions of the truth. The Mahavidyas are not Hindu. Hindu religion assimilated them, just as all religions subjugate indigenious deities when people are conquered. The Mahavidyas pre-date Hinduism by a long, long shot. We can, however, distill their essential natures through very loose association with prevailing ideas and engaging in direct communication or instruction with them. The Ten Mahavidyas: Tantric Visions of the Divine Feminine by David Kinsley is a scholarly (albeit patriarchal) collection of Mahavidya information, but is the best I have read.

The goddess embodied as the planet, Sophia, communicates with each of us in different ways. She communicates directly, but her preferred method for general instruction and communication is through a "step down" process. She steps down into the persona of the goddess Kali, and then in turn through the personae of Kali - the other Mahavidyas.

Of all the Mahavidyas, Tara is said to be most akin to Kali. In my interactions, Kali has very dark skin and Tara very light skin. Kali is intense at all times; Tara has an almost genteel quality until she is pushed to activate her ferocity. To me, Tara is very "Scarlet O'Hara-ish" - without the damsel in distress aspect. None of the Mahavidyas is a damsel in distress, by any means. Tara is playful, flirtatious, and wily and she loves beautiful things, but she will engage in a flash and strike down darkness.

There is a Tibetan version of Tara and a Hindu version of Tara, so if you research you will see that the versions are diametrically opposed. We immediately see the schism of patriarchy.

Tara is known as the "Goddess Who Guides Through Troubles." Isn't this exactly the energy we need right now?

I will be joining the Zany Mystic himself, Lance White, tomorrow night on "A Fireside Chat" at 10 pm ET/ 7 pm CT. All are invited!

Thursday, May 9, 2013 - New Moon Phase/Solar Eclipse - Moon in Taurus - Chinnamasta

Today's New Moon/Solar Eclipse is accompanied by our friend Pallas Athena. She sure has been busy disseminating wisdom over the last three months!

The New Moon/Solar Eclipse takes place at 20 degrees of Taurus, which is known as "wisps of clouds, like wings, are streaming across the sky." It's going to be speedy out there this month, so wise owls will get into a good groove now and keep it steady. The thing we will need to watch is brushing past things too quickly or becoming fatigued by resisting the flow.

Everything that transpired and transformed over last month's "Strike Point" will be rushing forward. Since we had a massive energetic upgrade last month, we'll feel pushed to engage our new wings. Opportunity will knock this month, so be on the lookout.

Today's energy also involves issues of transparency and vulnerability, and, on the flip side, barriers to provide cover or protection. We want to open up and let some of this New Moon energy bring in air. Time to breathe!

(Note: Several people have written to me that they are not feeling the relief from the Black Moon's contact with the Galactic Center. Keep in mind that your own astrological chart may be activated with something right now.)

Wednesday, May 8, 2013 - Balsamic Moon Phase- Moon in Taurus - Chinnamasta

Energetically speaking, the Sun transforms into something different every day. At sunrise, a new day is born. Today we will feel the full relief that comes at the end of a powerful transit of the Black Moon. Over the past month, the Black Moon made a line with the Galactic Center itself - the home of the artistic engineers who, after being given/gifted the raw stuff of life force from Source/Spirit/Divine One/God/Godhead, configured life in our galaxy.

One of those Divine Beings in the Galactic Center, Sophia, branched out, if you will. She became enmeshed with the creation, mesmerized by its beauty (in all forms - destructive, creative, loving, violent). We are that creation.

Mysticism and religions that refer to the Tree of Life or the World Tree are actually identifying the Galactic Center. The branch of the World Tree that is Sophia maintains connection with the Tree and is rooted there.

So since the Galactic Center is the place from whence we originated, anytime an astrological transit is made to it, the engineers there get to tweak and fiddle around with the creation. In our case, they are assisting Sophia with the creation she became part of - us.

Transits to the Galactic Center make things shake. The status quo or energetic field of things gets perturbed. The transit of the Black Moon took the engineers' tweaking and disseminated that on Earth with a Black Moon flair. The energetic person you were is not the energetic person you are now. We all have a new energetic signature.

You may not feel like a brand new person - yet. But this energetic upgrade has given us more "room" to grow. We will be able to access information/live life from an expanded panorama. "New energetic signature" equals "new experience of life" and "deeper connection with Sources."

The bottom line to all of this is 1) a massive wave is moving through the collective of humanity, enabling people to see through the deception and trickery of the Archons and thus leveling the playing field; 2) we are empowered, i.e. made more powerful through the purging fires of a journey through the underworld; and 3) we see ourselves more clearly because we have had a face to face encounter with ourselves and our shadow sides.

Sophia and her fellow engineers in the Galactic Center want to see what one of their creations would be after cocooning in a habitat of one of the engineers herself, waking up to that understanding, and then fighting off darkness that stood against them and tricked them at every turn. The Divine Beings in the Galactic Center are not only invested in Sophia, they are invested in us.

When the World Tree shakes and the Black Moon joins in, serious degeneration of "what was" and serious regeneration of "what is becoming" ensues. Today's sunrise heralds a new day indeed. The full relief of the end of the degeneration phase of Black Moon transits happen after the sun rises the next day. We felt a lightening after 3 pm ET yesterday, but we needed a new Sun to get the pure effect. Today we are truly on the "rise" phase of the rise and fall of the phoenix.

Today is for soaring and re-integrating. Take things as they come. Reassembly of things in our lives is happening, leading us in the right (or new) directions.

The world has changed and the field is being leveled. We've been empowered and the experiment/experience is going to get even more interesting.

Happy day!

Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - Balsamic Moon Phase - Moon in Aries - Chinnamasta - Black Moon oppose Galactic Center

Today we end the transit of the Black Moon to the Galactic Center. With it comes relief from the energy of degeneration of old or outworn ideas, beliefs, and feelings. We are refreshed and renewed with the regeneration that comes at the end of the transit. Prepare for the upswing as the phoenix rises from the ashes of what has been burned away.

But before that, the Moon will once again contact the Eris point, so we need to be mindful of what we say and do because the tendency is to act or lash out. This will be in effect most of the day, but will end around 3:00 pm ET when the Black Moon makes exact opposition to the GC.

We are focusing on the rebirth aspect of this energy because we now have a truly refreshed and upgraded energy system.

However, when we have an energetic upgrade, it affects everyone differently. We can find ourselves out of synch or out of resonance with people and this can cause upset. It will take a little time for things to settle out, so don't rush to judgment. There is an element of "separation by vibration" (people not in the same frequency or mindset) anytime we have an upgrade, and there is an adjustment period. This usually only takes a couple of days, so hold off on your evaluation of things.

Instead, let's look at what the divine beings in the Galactic Center have sent to us in support of our project with the planet, Gaia-Sophia.

(Special thanks to everyone for the get well wishes!)

Friday, May 3, 2013 - Third Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Pisces -Chinnamasta

We are lightening up today so that we can make smooth moves through the energy. It is easy for us to see what is weighing us down or which burdens we have taken on that are not our own. Mostly, however, we are burdened with our own self-judgment. Self-judgment is one of the stages of the descent into the metaphorical underworld while we are engaged in the transit of the Black Moon to the Galactic Center through May 7. It is good to take stock of ourselves, but it is counter-productive to pummel ourselves with criticism. If you are gliding through this transit rather well, provide assistance or support to someone who isn't. We are all on the journey together.

To lighten up today, shift your focus to the natural world. How many beautiful treasures can you find?

This evening I will join Janet Hickox again on "Living Astrology" at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT. Click here for more information. Hope you can tune in!

Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - Disseminating Moon Phase - Chinnamasta

While a purging of grief and a breakdown of old, restrictive, beliefs and systems is underway, simultaneously, beams of energy are being sent in to not only support, but also replenish the structure as a whole. This goes for everything - the world at large and ourselves as individuals.

Picture it this way: An implosion is underway inside of us and energetic pieces are flying off. But at the precise moment a piece leaves, a beam of light is shot into the area. The beam of light is raw energy. It's nature is highly refined and it fills in the spaces. It also activates the DNA of the body to harmonize or resonate at vaster levels. It's the pure energy of creation that is being sent to us and the goddess embodied as the planet by her fellow divine beings in the Galactic Center. (See recent posts for more information on the astrological transit of the Black Moon to the Galactic Center.)

The purpose of this is not only to sustain the Earth and us while drastic changes in the collective of humanity are performed (so that "civilization" or the state of humanity at the moment doesn't collapse), but also to provide an opportunity for something truly magnificent to transpire and make the collective of humanity much better than it was before.

On the individual level, this means that energetically we're the butterfly emerging from a cocoon and pieces of us are being left behind because we are changing form. We're very familiar (and thus comfortable) with those old pieces but those pieces need changing, so they're being blown away and replaced with fresh pieces that do things differently and more artfully. In short, we have a better life.

Some are experiencing this more acutely than others. We can be of great support to ourselves and others by remembering that refreshment and healing are taking place. Remembering that refreshment and healing are taking place is the hardest thing to do when it is happening because we are enmeshed with whatever is being blown away. It is often hard to face what is being revealed. Wounds hurt before they feel better. (The wound is our core or primary fear in life - see "The Astrology of the Black Moon" in the Books tab above for free download.)

Healing is facilitated by several things, so pick a bouquet of some of these today and carry them around with you: tolerance, patience, laughter, kindness, simplicity, attention, creativity, acceptance, surrender, gratitude, generosity, interest, appreciation, service...any others?

Tuesday, April 30, 2013 - Disseminating Moon Phase - Chinnamasta

The keyword for today is cope. The energy can be overwhelming. If you find yourself feeling like you are "going down" it is because we are - down into the underworld of our shadow sides with the transit of the Black Moon. The core fear of our personal shadow sides is being triggered and this causes anxiety to the point of panic, generalized fear, utter exhaustion, and emotional volatility. So this is what we are working with while trying to ground and contain ourselves.

This is also happening due to the energetic upgrade to our energetic fields (personal energetic signature or frequency) and the fact that we are moving into a different range. The "newness" often feels like anxiety.

To work with this energy, first we learn about it and then we surrender to it because all transits of the Black Moon require us to surrender to the process. Resistance is futile and, in fact, it makes things worse. We practice acceptance by releasing the need to be in control and are grateful that we are being brought to a new "place" energetically. Remeber that the ultimate outcome of this transit is rebirth/regeneration. We end the transit on May 7. Until then, take deep breaths and rest as much as possible.

Monday, April 29, 2013 - Disseminating Moon Phase - Chinnamasta

JIM TUCKER (1934 - 2013) You will be missed and remembered.

As expected, the Moon approaching conjunction to the Galactic Center all weekend while the Black Moon was opposing it made for very complex energy. The tight conjunction of Saturn and the Earth only intensified the effects. The Moon will not be in a position again to affect the Black Moon/Galactic Center transit before the transit ends! Whew!

Wise owl Milly on Facebook asks about the statement in the last post that our experience and Gaia-Sophia's experience are the same now. We are One now. We always were, but Sophia was still in that weird half awake/half nightmare state. She is fully awake now and engaged with us to co-direct the course of things. This is why the "awakening" is spreading like wildfire. Can you believe some of the conversations you are hearing from the most unexpected corners? We are in the middle of a grand visionary experiment with the experimenter (Sophia) herself. So the collective consciousness of humanity is sending and receiving information with her and the world of "the matrix" is crumbling. In the process, we are returning to sanity. It does not look like sanity yet, does it? It is going to take some time.

During the December 21, 2012 time, I discussed how everyone was on the playground with Sophia. We can see this now, four months later. Look at the way things are changing. There is no doubt that Sophia and Humanity are taking on the archontic control system now. I really did not expect the change to happen so quickly. The goddess is delightfully surprising.

Archons use Eris astrological aspects and Black Moon aspects to invade (strike) us. The harmonic and electromagnetic effects of the current Black Moon transit make it easy for them to slip into our consciousness and press us into reacting to make ourselves or others miserable. It's stealthy action, too, because they come when the shadow is strongest, like this past weekend. Look at what transpired for you this weekend (where you had issues) and make a note in big, red letters so that as we come closer to the exact day of the transit, May 7, you will have an idea of what to expect. This past weekend's energy foreshadowed it.

Control, control, control. Control remains in the forefront of all that is happening. The conjunction of Saturn with the Earth is taking control issues to the brink. Disengage immediately if you find yourself swept up in this.

Today, the Earth is located at the position known as "a fellowship supper reunites old comrades." Connection with like-minded people will alleviate a lot of the pressure that is in play from the energy.

Through the muck of fear, we see indications that there is indeed a great deal about which to be hopeful. The divine beings in the Galactic Center (Sophia's family) are beaming in the light of love to assist and support us and her. Let's keep our focus on this and do our job by "grounding" the current within the collective of humanity. This is a good use of the control energy that is in effect.

There is light showing from the end of this Black Moon transit. Let's follow it.

Saturday, April 27 - Sunday, April 28, 2013 - Full/Disseminating Moon Phase - Chinnamasta

This weekend's energy is exceptionally complex. We can go very deeply into almost anything, so we want to be aware of where our mind is taking us. If we remember not to force anything, this weekend can become a joy ride.

Don't work or try too hard at anything. Lighten up on yourself and others so you can free up space for Gaia-Sophia to interact and experience also. Her experience and our experience is the same now, we just don't fully recognize it as that. This is how the collective of humanity is returning to sanity (another term for it is "awakening").

There are many astrological reasons this weekend's energy is complex and layered, but the primary reason is the Moon entering Sagittarius, approaching conjunction (reaching the same degree in the sky) with the Galactic Center while the Black Moon is transiting exactly opposite. Remember that the transit of the Black Moon is a month-long transit that energetically takes us into the "underworld" and brings up fears. Essentially, we are each facing our own shadow side.

Chinnamasta continues to blow our minds way out into the ethers. We have to just go with what is being revealed to us. Surrender to the wisdom and take it on board.

Issues related to our personal resources or fuel and how we spend it are in focus. We get feedback this weekend, meaning we see where time is well spent and where it is not. We are concerned with where we fit in and if there is a place at all. It may seem that there isn't enough of whatever is needed to sustain a situation, but that is just how it appears right now and it will change. For now, we pull back from putting so much energy into the outer world and focus back inward to keep the inner fire going.

The way we handle everything is always by reconnecting with nature. Keep your connection strong.

Friday, April 26, 2013 - Full Moon Phase - Moon in Scorpio - Chinnamasta

Mercury conjuncts (comes to the same degree in the sky as) Eris today. so by all means be sure to think before you speak. The conjunction of Mercury and Eris is at the Eris Point - the degree of this month's New Moon. Watch as events and feelings from that phase are revisited today.

Aspects between Mercury and Eris inflame our thinking and have us voicing our feelings in impulsive ways. We tend to get spun up easily. Because Mercury also rules travel, road rage easily comes out. Eris was the goddess who threw the Apple of Discord (no doubt something she thought of on the spur of the moment) at Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. We don't tolerate superficial or trifling behavior under this astrological aspect. If something is stuck in your craw, it will want to break loose today, so temper communications with patience and thoughtfulness. Oftentimes, this astrological aspect brings out things that need to be said, so don't suppress yourself, but don't go off like a banshee.

So much is happening this month. We are being energetically upgraded and pushed into new areas while simultaneously taking a journey through the underworld with the transit of the Black Moon to the Galactic Center. We are in deep emotional territory and our shadow sides are right in front of our faces today. If you haven't uncovered your shadow side (and thus, your primary fear in life that holds you back or causes downfall), you will want to go the "Books" tab above and look at the Appendix of my free e-book on the Black Moon. You can find your natal Black Moon and then look up the information for that sign. Recognizing and integrating our shadow sides is required work for anyone on a spiritual path.

Have a wonderful day, everyone, and remember to find beauty.

Thursday, April 25, 2013 - Full Moon Phase Partial Lunar Eclipse- Moon in Scorpio - Chinnamasta

Today's energy is flavored with feelings of restriction, separation, and distance. Life may seem overwhelming today, problems may feel insurmountable, and answers may seem far away. We can bridge the gulf by remaining patient, recognizing that we are operating in new energy with brand new "wings," and remembering that Chinnamasta has a way of blowing things out so that they can become better. We also remember that she grants wishes. The other Mahavidyas (Wisdom Goddesses who are personas of Gaia-Sophia, the divine being embodied as our planet) are not as keen to grant wishes, so we appreciate this about Chinnamasta.

Whatever we put in place (or intend) today is magically empowered.

The Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse is conjunct Saturn. Saturn brings in control dynamics and orderliness. It is quintessentially archontic and the Archons love Saturnian energy. (They may even "reside" on Saturn.) Full Moon phases are intimately connected to New Moon phases. Whatever is seeded or intended during the New Moon phase comes into special fruition at the Full Moon phase. Recall that the New Moon was conjunct Eris at the Eris Point of 22 Aries. Now we have Saturn conjunct the Full Moon. Eris and Saturn are not friends. They stand diametrically opposed. Energy of opposition is a favorite of these darker forces so there is heightened potential for the continuation of their dark ritual enacted at the New Moon.

Saturn is a drag. It limits, keeps time, tasks, disciplines, orders, and controls. But it also contains, so we can morph the energy to serve us by using it to contain and ground us so that we are not washed away with the strong tide of emotions that accompanies this Full Moon/eclipse. We can use it to maintain our calm.

Don't try to control anything today. It will only lead to upset.

Wednesday, April 24, 2013 - Gibbous Moon Phase - Moon in Libra - Ruling Mahavidya: Chinnamasta

Chinnamasta is hard at work bringing insight, understanding, and knowledge today. With this comes a release. The energy that tapped off this month's events (world events and the personal energetic upgrade event) strikes once again today as the Moon reactivates it. But what is the energy now? It has developed since the New Moon and it reaches apex or fullest expression with the Full Moon/Partial Lunar Eclipse tomorrow.

Today we effectively emerge from a cocoon (our prior energetic state). This is going to feel a little weird, a little shaky, a little vulnerable. It is this way every time we are "upgraded" because we are not familiar with our new energy.

So we skim lightly until we are familiar with it.

The more you can rely on yourself today the better. Be self-contained. Go inside. Seek what you need there and not in the outer world. Don't depend on other people to recognize or appreciate you, as is the natural tendency today.

Keep in mind that the fire inside of us is our true home, so home is always with us.

Tuesday, April 23, 2013 - Gibbous Moon Phase - Moon in Libra - Ruling Mahavidya: Chinnamasta

Today's energy produces the longing for people, places, and things. Desires run high and our eye for beauty is keen.

This is because we have several faces of goddess energy at work right now. Think of it like this: Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, etc., meets up with Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom and Battle in an arena where Eris, Goddess of Awakening and Freedom, and the Mahavidya Chinnamasta are already on scene. Colloquially, a bunch of cool chicks are hanging out.

So the true nature of today's energy is entirely feminine and collegiate. It's also quite magical, as in the power of magic is high. This is why it's the prime time to make a wish for something you want. But we can't forget that this type of energy is the favorite for manipulation, so we may encounter or experience a perversion of the energy as jealousy, insecurity, aggression, deception, materialism, and other such things.

If you find yourself doing this or encounter this from another person, recognize that it is an archontic control program that is being amplified and then disengage from it. Break off and walk away. Remember that we have all that we need inside ourselves.

Be aware also that the potential for Illuminati hijinks heightens over the next two days while we have this type of goddess energy in play and also because the Moon is in Libra (thus making another "hit" or "strike" to the Eris Point energy of the New Moon - see post in Archives for April 10, 2013).

But let's focus on the effervescent energy that these goddess archetypes are expressing today. Explosions of beauty are everywhere. All that we need is contained inside ourselves and all that is valuable comes from the heart - being on a beautiful planet of eye candy is the bonus.

Monday, April 22, 2013 - Gibbous Moon Phase - Moon in Leo - Ruling Mahavidya - Chinnamasta

We are back up and running just in time for Earth Day today. Happy Gaia-Sophia Day!

The picture of the butterfly above reminds us what is happening this month (the "strike point"). We are receiving an energetic upgrade that feels to us like being a butterfly released from the cocoon.

Once again today, we need to be careful not to wound or sabotage ourselves. There is a strong pull toward this, so if you feel like you are coming under this influence, focus on what you can learn from the situation or your feelings. Wisdom will be gained.

Chinnamasta continues to work at blowing our minds and showing us the truth of matters. She also continues her work at granting wishes and blessings.

Today is a day for celebration, not strife, so let's send the love back to the planet.

Let's also send some love to wise owl Jean Haines at http://jhaines6.wordpress.com/. Jean has worked tirelessly to spread light. She's making an impact because she is under fire from ugly-acting (archontically-controlled) people. We catch hell when we've made hell mad. Keep up the amazing work, Jean, and carry on with the badge of honor. We love you!

Friday April 19 - First Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Leo Ruling Mahavidya: Chinnamasta

We are treading lightly today. Exercise caution and keep your eyes wide open to your surroundings. Today's energy is not the time for taking chances or risks, getting into a debate or arguing a point, pushing an issue, or drawing your line. In other words, today is not the day to get caught up in energy that involves conflict. Dramatic expressions of emotion are exhibited today. The keyword is theatre and you can think of all that comes with that: creating drama, making a scene, setting the stage, staging a production, theatres of war, theatres of the mind.

April 20 is historically a time when the Illuminati make mischief, so keep all of this in mind.

This energy recalls the words of Edgar Allen Poe, who probably resonated very well with this month's ruling Mahavidya (Wisdom Goddess), Chinnamasta. "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." This is a good mindset to have today.

Thursday, April 18, 2013 - First Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Leo

Today is about voices. We are tuning in to our inner voice and are engaged in aligning with our paths. Looking at what is going on with you, it may not appear that you are aligning with your path, but things are not what they appear to be today. What's important is that we are tuned in to the inner self. There is a message for each of us in the air today. To facilitate this, "drop out" as much as possible. Dampen the outer chaos and practice the skill of the wise owl going inside the tree to peer out and listen. Detach and do your own thing. Of course, this doesn't mean we ignore our responsibilities, but we alter our focus to take in the full message that Sophia is delivering through her emissary Chinnamasta. Chinnamasta loves music so make sure you play some today.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Cancer

As the "strike point" continues today, we need to make sure we are not striking against ourselves. Today's energy brings the tendency to self-sabotage and to direct anger inward. Some people always respond to this type of energy by acting it out or projecting it onto others, so be aware that anyone can become the object of this. But more serious damage is done when we inflict criticism and harsh judgment on ourselves. This cuts to our soul. (For an explanation of the "strike point" listen to the audio from April 4, 2013, linked above. I discuss the massive astrological influences that are now underway, as well as how they would be used to produce false flag type events.)

This entire lunar month is simultaneously like a battle on a battlefield (Eris astrological effects) and a descent into the underworld (Black Moon astrological effects).

The catch here is that we really aren't descending into the underworld, the underworld is rising around us.

The "underworld" is two very different things. It is the energy that we identify as archontic and it is literally the ground beneath us - Gaia Sophia. As the archontic forces rise up, so too does the divine being embodied as the planet. And she takes us with her.

If you recall, I discussed how a major "upgrade" to our personal energetic frequencies/signatures would begin in earnest this lunar month. This is happening at the subatomic levels of our mental, emotional, and physical bodies. It's all based on electromagnetics and light.

Then we have the Mahavidya who rules this month, Chinnamasta, blowing out the crown chakra so that we don't implode from the upgrade.

While individuals and the human collective at large go down fighting today, we rise with the power of all that is beautiful, good, and fierce. We have on battle armor and a shield (protection that we mentally establish and maintain) but we rise above the scene. We are elevated by wisdom - the wisdom goddess herself.

As we rise above the scene, panoramically, we recognize that sometimes a player jumps up and tries to take hold. This is be archontic energy trying to attach in the form of an actual attack from someone/something or self-criticism. The battle can take many forms.

Here's the thing to remember: we are not alone. We are intimately connected with our creatrix and through two-way commnication (which is happening on several levels of awareness) we are affecting the battlefield (the matrix) in real time. It is important to note that we are neither engaging in the fear battle that is being waged right now, nor are we passive. We are awake and aware. We respond when we are personally moved to action. This is different for everyone but takes on a general wave of action.

This report will take a couple of reads, and you may want to revisit it later today for fuller understanding. And be kind to yourself.

Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Cancer

The explosions at the Boston Marathon are the manifestation of dark deeds proliferated under the energy of the Eris Point New Moon. For over a week now, I've been talking about the strong potential for attacks and aggression all this month because the Illuminati and their Archontic controllers always use the Eris and Black Moon astrological aspects to progress their plans for fear, chaos and destruction. It's a ritual and they've demonstrated it time and again when they take advantage of this energy and alchemize it to empower strikes.

The ritual continues. Note that the night before the New Moon, the Newtown families were honored in DC. Newtown families were at the marathon. All that is missing at this point is some reference in a Batman movie.

The jig is up. Through empirical data we know that the new world order strikes when the Eris Point (22 Aries) is activated astrologically. The same is true for strong aspects of the Black Moon. This month provides the perfect storm of the two with the New Moon at the Eris Point (empowered even more so by the additional conjunction of Venus and Mars) and the Black Moon beginning the month-long opposition to the Galactic Center.

Remember that since the Black Moon is making the opposition to the Galactic Center, fears are naturally being triggered. Eris rules the battlefield and the battle is for the sovereignty of all people.

What is not understood is that this energy rails against power, control, and tyranny. Their motto is "bind Eris in chains," but it simply isn't possible. I discuss this thoroughly in my book on Eris (available here for free). More and more people will see the truth behind their actions and so their tricks will lose power.

If you are unaware that a drill was running simultaneous to the marathon, follow the story at infowars.

For us, we do what we do. We see clearly. We are not fooled. We hold to the ideal of freedom. We are not afraid. And we aren't pulled from our center because a bomb could go off around us any minute and maim us. We don't pontificate over the violence of humanity. This is a straight-up Archontic attack - nothing more. Don't feed it. We are sad for those who are victims of this act. But we know exactly who and what is behind it.

Monday, April 15, 2013 - Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Gemini - Boston Marathon

From spaceweather.com, this photo was taken by P. Johansson of the auroras and Milky Way over Sweden. This stunning picture could be equated to the stun that accompanies Chinnamasta blowing our minds and Eris delivering her own type of blow to shock us into waking up to the truth of something.

What form is this taking for you? Is someone acting in a way you never thought you'd see? Do you feel like you have disappointed someone or maybe disappointed yourself? If so, perhaps a clear stream of communication with Chinnamasta is needed. Go outside, tell her what the issue is, and see what happens the rest of the month. Point it out (mark it or strike it) and she will go to work on it. This goddess delivers blessings in abundance.

We should be using protective techniques (beam of light surrounding you or another visualization) all the time, but make sure you are doing this right now. Archontic intrustion is very high. Counter this with re-connection with nature and observance of the sheer beauty that is all around us.

Saturday, April 13 - Sunday, April 14, 2013 - New/Crescent Moon Phase - Moon in Gemini

This weekend the Moon moves into Gemini, joining the Black Moon in opposition to the Galactic Center. The transit of the Black Moon to the GC brings face to face encounters with shadow sides - others' and our own. When we face shadow sides, we are staring directly at fear - nothing else.

We can stare at fear. We can stare it down actually. There is nothing we cannot face because we are cradled in the protection of the planet herself - a divine being embodied in physicality. We have direct interface with Sophia to face whatever comes our way. Sophia's emissary, the aspect of her personality known as Chinnamasta blesses us with strength to see what we don't want to see as the energy of the Black Moon works on us.

It is a good idea to learn about the core fear encapsulated by your natal Black Moon. You can look up your birthday in the Index of my book on the Black Moon (free on the "Books" tab) to see which sign your Black Moon is located in and then read the section about the Black Moon in that sign. This will unveil your shadow so that it can be integrated into consciousness.

I talk a lot about the personal power/resources that are tied up in our shadows. If we are unaware of the nature of our shadows, the slightest touch to it causes us to react very, very strongly, usually by projecting onto to other people. So knowing how much power is there tells us how intense situations can become this weekend. Things can go far out of bounds far too quickly.

To counter the intensity, keep things as simple and clear as possible. Communicate very specifically. If something triggers a strong emotional response in you, take time to sit with a while and let it marinate before you engage it. It is hard to do this under Black Moon transits, but it is the wise thing to do.

This transit will last one month. When we come to the other side of it, the metamorphosis/upgrade that ensued with the New Moon will be complete. Until then, we need to recognize that we are in transition and are adjusting to new levels of awareness, sensitivity, and wisdom.

How much light can we hold? We're going to find out.

Friday, April 12, 2013 - New Moon Phase - Moon in Taurus

As if the New Moon phase wasn't intense enough, today Pluto stations retrograde. Longtime readers of this site know that things get a little wonky on days a planet stations retrograde or direct. Things tend to go against the plan, we are accident prone (especially since Pluto and Uranus remain in square), heavy emotions surface, and rivalries flare.

Mythologically, Pluto is Eris' husband, so we see male energy rising today amidst the dominant feminine energy. This will certainly be reflected in relationships, particularly in marriages or in former marriages.

The tendency today is to react from the need for attention. If issues arise, it is probably due to someone feeling overlooked. Be aware also that there is strong potential for double-sidedness, double-crossing, and two-faced behavior. The Eris element of two sides is strongly at play.

The theme of "two's" continues also with seconds in the form of second chances. Something may come back around to be taken up once more (a relationship, a project, an idea, etc.). Take a second look at it.

I have discussed the Eris influence during this Moon phase, but I have not mentioned the Black Moon influence very much. The transit of the Black Moon in opposition to the Galactic Center is a major event, but I wanted to separate the influences out a bit so that we could "catch" the feel of Chinnamasta and Eris before we really started feeling the Black Moon transit. Today is the last day we are afforded that luxury because the Moon will enter Gemini Saturday morning. Check back tomorrow for the weekend report about this.

Thursday, April 11, 2013 - New Moon Phase - Moon in Taurus

The Sun boosted the already-powerful energy of the New Moon by releasing an M-6 class solar flare overnight. M-6 is a very strong flare. I was hoping we would have fireworks on the Sun! I say this because the energy we are under is cause for celebration. The energetic upgrade from this New Moon is returing us to returning us to wholeness, to ourselves - returning us to who we really are. The Mahavidya Chinnamasta (who is real) and the Eris energy (which is archetypal) are blowing like wind. The Sun joined in.

We know that there are always two sides to anything involving Eris, so it is also implied that nefarious activities are proliferating, while the wonderful upgrade is happening. Make no mistake about it. Nefarious activities are happening. But, at this point, we only need to be aware that they are happening. In this way, we are not tricked or bound to any deeds, spells, curses, rituals (whatever you want to call it - I call it Archontic trickery) that are being perpetrated upon the collective of humanity. Enough said.

A tremendous amount of information is being ignited within the radiant codes of our bodies. Brilliant flashes of insight occur and simple truths are revealed to us. We make connections. But it is a lot of information and it is coming fast so just take things at your own pace. The information that is being disseminated via light is accessible at any time in the future. Don't go too fast today (driving or anything). Remember also that our bodies are responding to this upgrade; they are trying to get lighter as well.

Eris energy stirs the souls of writers and musicians. If you've been thinking of writing something (and this means anything - a letter, a book, a song, a riff), you are experiencing the call of the goddess.

Enjoy!

Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - New Moon in Aries - Strike Point

Get ready to be jacked up! The influx of this New Moon's energy will upgrade our personal energetic frequencies/signatures, bringing us to a wider level of wisdom. Remember that this month will blow our minds in some way (dramatically change our perspective and enable us to see what we previously could not). With the New Moon at the Eris Point in tight conjunction with Eris, Mars, and Venus, interpersonal relationships make a shift and the world stage is host mostly to a battlefield. People tend to be reactionary and aggressive under the influence of Eris energy, so be aware of this potential. Pick your own battles.

We understand the duality of this energy. We know we can find as much beauty as we can strife. The task for wise owls today is to hold the space for the wonderful elements of this New Moon. "Maintain and contain" and don't get pulled into emotional whirlwinds with people unless you are moved to take a stand. Keep your personal shield strong. Let's guard this mother energy so that it can do its work to bring about emergence of higher consciousness within the human collective. Today marks the "Strike Point" and intentions that are set in place over this New Moon have a great deal of power for manifestation. We know that some will use this to manifest ill will, but we never forget there is another side. Remember that our bodies will have strange responses to this energetic upgrade, so stop and rest as often as possible. If we can release the need to control, this day will move better for us.

(Note: I need to correct a statement I made in the audio from April 4. I discussed the Eris Point energies in play in November and I mistakenly referenced Sandy Hook when I meant Newtown, Connecticut. In my mind, Aurora, Sandy Hook, and Newtown are all connected in that they are different stages of the same occult ritual. They all link together and I think of them interchangeably.)

Tuesday, April 9, 2013 - Balsamic Moon Phase - Moon in Aries

Once in a great while, there is a confluence of things that are perfect for making a wish. Today is that day. How beautiful.

I would love to end the post there but two other things need to be kept in mind at the same time we are enjoying Chinnamasta's energy combined with the archetypal energy of Eris (if you haven't listened to the audio recording posted above, I go into detail about the month ahead beginning with tomorrow's New Moon, which has effectively already entered):

1) Do not let your guard down. Remember that Illuminati/Archontic forces always take advantage of any strong astrological reference to Eris and most especially the Eris Point (22 degrees of Aries, 22 degrees of the ecliptic; this also includes the opposite point,of 22 Libra). If I accomplish nothing else in my life, I will have succeeded if the relevance of this degree is remembered. This means we see the dual acts of war and aggression, chaos and strife/acts of valor, protection, and guidance at the macro-level of the collective of humanity. At the micro-level of our individual lives, we see dual acts of anger, rejection, and neglect/ acts of deep commitment, expression of the power of love within the relationship, and intense bonding. Take in the good parts of the spectrum (because they are being amplified by Chinnamasta) but be aware of the potential for any kind of strike at any time now. Don't rely on the first story that comes out about anything. A second side will emerge. There are always two sides with Eris.

2) Take yourself out of the swirl as much as possible. By this I mean let the real world of the matrix do what it is going to do and don't feed in. Don't try to control anything right now. The keyword is contain, not control right now. Eris energy will not tolerate control in any way other than the discipline of a warrior. Contain your awareness in the legion of Eris and Chinnamasta.

As always, find beauty; but this time don't forget to make a wish.

Monday, April 8, 2013 - Balsamic Moon Phase - Moon in Aries

The energy of the impending New Moon strikes hard today, two days before the New Moon begins. To handle this we need to give everything that we have to maintaining groundedness. We want to stay very close to the earth and close to ourselves while continuously holding sobriety to what is happening. We know that a massive change is underway so we "hold" while the energy enters. This will become more apparent as the day progresses. Essentially we are walking through a ring of fire again with this pivot point (the audio above goes into detail about this energy).

Saturday, April 6 - Sunday, April 7, 2013 - Balsamic Moon Phase - Moon in Pisces

When the Moon returns to Pisces for the second time during the Pisces lunar month, it is often like a deluge. Watery emotions pour out. It is good to have some water to nourish ground as we prepare to plant a new seed (intention, wish) at the New Moon phase. So if you find yourself having a release of emotion, the Mahavidya Chinnamasta and the Piscean Balsamic Moon phase are doing their jobs.

This is a time of nurturance. There is no room for judgment in nurturance and self-blame will only stifle us. If we are struggling, we need to examine where we are resistant to change or moving on or leaving the cocoon and then leave that behind. We are naturally inclined to see where we have let ourselves down. We can see it, acknowledge it, and then let it pass. We don't have to feed it. We can recognize it and let it pass through us. Don't hold on to these feelings if they crop up. Honor the insight by thanking Chinnamasta and then let her handle it. The New Moon energy that is filtering through this Moon phase is powerful enough to take anything away. If you have listened to the latest audio recording, you know that the upcoming month is the "Strike Point." One of the things this energy does is pulverize things into oblivion. We can work with this by visualizing all that we want to leave our lives compressed into a ball that is obliterated with the New Moon energy. You can even create a representation of this and then smash it. That would get Chinnamasta's attention and show her exactly what you want to happen.

The New Moon energy is so strong that it is already entering into conscious effect. Don't try to control anything right now. The deluge is taking us away and the best thing to do is surrender to it. Remember that we are emerging from a former state of being (a former energetic frequency or signature) and it has a way of blowing us away.

Friday, April 5, 2013 - Third Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Aquarius

The keyword for today is transcend. If you have any worries or are facing difficulties, the way to handle it is to take your understanding to a higher level - into the mystic. See it from an elevated point of view. This is particularly true of relationships - personal and professional. If a relationship ends today, rest assured that this is for the best. Try to transcend painful feelings through the knowledge that something more appropriate to who you are will replace what is ending.

Today is the last day of the astological year. "New year's eve" is traditionally a day for celebration. But unlike "December 31st New Year's Eve," the natural new year is not a raucous party. It's a time of spiritual rebirth and reverance for the cycles of life.

Transcend anything that reinforces a feeling of deficit or inadequacy. Leave it behind you as you sail high above and away from it. Turn it over to a higher power and trust that it will be transformed.

The Balsamic Moon phase starts tomorrow and will bridge us into the new year that begins on April 10th. There will be a fantastic amount of power in this Balsamic Moon phase. As you make plans for the weekend, be good to yourself. What do you need the most right now?

Thursday, April 4, 2013 - Third Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Capricorn

Simply stated, today is a day for deep change and growth. It is Chinnamasta's (see this week's previous posts on Chinnamasta on the Archives page ) nature to remove the obstacles in our minds and there is a tremendous amount of power available for this kind of endeavor. If you have a block, barrier, or obstruction of any kind, tell Chinnamasta and ask her to handle it. Note I say "handle." That doesn't necessarily mean remove it, although that may be the outcome because she shows us what we didn't previously know. Knowledge is gained. The Wisdom Goddesses have much to teach.

When a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, surely it's mind is blown. The upcoming lunar month is going to blow our minds. A blown mind is a good thing. Embrace the process today by following along, not becoming fearful, and not worried about what anyone else thinks or if they approve.

Wednesday, April 3, 2013 - Third Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Capricorn

Effectively, we enter the last Moon phase of this year, so you can think of the next few days as "new year's eve." Third Quarter phases tie up the energy that was seeded back at the New Moon. Since this is the final Third Quarter phase for the astrological year, you could say it completes the energy that was seeded last April (when the new year began). It's good to take stock during Third Quarter Moon phases. It's also a good time to take responsibility. As the Sun sets on this year, consider how you have grown. What has worked out well? What needs to change? Figuring these things out prepares our psyches for transformation, which will develop over the next lunar month.

We need to close out and complete whatever we can during this Moon phase so we can leave it behind. Take care of whatever impedes you or holds you back. I can hear all the wise owls groaning! I don't mean to harp on this notion, but it's important. If you are resistant, take a look at how well you are taking care of yourself as opposed to others. Is the scale way out of balance? It's enough to recognize it and endeavor to do better with the new, incoming energy, so release the burden.

Today's energy is like roaming through the mists of the land of the fairies. Time loses hold, we get "stuck" on certain ideas, we want to sleep and dream, we see life through a lens of beauty, we want to escape reality. Be aware of this and try to satisfy it in a way that is not self-sabotaging.

Tuesday, April 2, 2013

Let's welcome Chinnamasta, the Mahavidya who is now on duty. If you look up Chinnamasta, the first thing you will notice in the depictions of her is that she has severed her own head. As I've cautioned many times, most of the information about the Mahavidyas has a patriarchal slant. Chinnamasta doesn't cut off our heads; she blows our minds. She expands our awareness and understanding beyond what we have taken into consideration. This is rather perfect when you think about how we are preparing to emerge in the way a butterfly emerges from a cocoon with the energetic "upgrade" that comes with the New Moon on April 10.

One of Chinnamasta's primary goals is to bestow blessings. She gives of herself. All of the Mahavidyas instruct us and give to us through their instruction, but Chinnamasta goes a bit farther. Her bliss is involved with giving to humanity.

As a Mahavidya, Chinnamasta is as fierce as she is generous, and she is often associated with the battlefield. This means she battles dark forces that stand opposed to humanity. She is in the company of other, more well-known goddess energies of Eris and Pallas Athena (both battle goddesses). I will talk about how the nexus of Chinnamasta, Pallas Athena, and Eris energies influence the upcoming New Moon when wise owl and Facebook group organizer Andrew and I record an audio message on Thursday. I am introducing Chinnamasta now because she has already taken over for Nairatmya and is hard at work.

Today's energy works strongly on the intuitive body so follow along if your intuition is tugging at you. We are still working on completing tasks and releasing what needs to move on. To do this properly, we need to 1) end procrastination and 2) figure out why we are holding on to anything we need to release. Are we holding on based on tradition, familiarity, or loyalty or are we confused by fear?

If you feel like the energy is "taking you down" to a certain degree, this is a natural and normal feeling right now. Remember that the Black Moon has begun the transit with the Galactic Center - the cycle of taking us down to build us back up better than we were. The only thing we can do when we are in the "take down" part of the cycle is surrender. The best thing to do is rest when you get tired. This energy needs space and time to work properly, so we want to step out of the fray when we realize we are being drained. Power down.

There's a LOT happening right now. It's beautiful and exciting, but it is also pushing on our fears at a deep level and this is reflected in emotional reactions. For today, don't underestimate yourself in any way. Chinnamasta's first lesson is that we are much more than we know that we are. She breaks self-imposed limitations so that we can express who we really are. Truly we are blessed with this.

Monday, April 1, 2013

Today gives us a glimpse into what we will experience while the Black Moon transits the Galactic Center for a month beginning April 5 (see last week's posts for more information.) The Moon will make this journey today, preparing the ground for the Black Moon's upcoming journey. There's a LOT of energy in place today, so be careful to think things through before taking action or speaking your mind. We're in Aries energy, and Aries is impulsive. Following a prompt is good, but life-altering actions and decisions need to be thoroughly considered. If anger surfaces for you today, be grateful for the opportunity for release that this brings. Anger is showing us where we need to make modificiations and where we need to let go. Remember the metaphor of the butterfly trying to emerge from its cocoon. This is what is happening and it translates to us wanting to break free of anything that is restricitng us. So we want to pay attention to what we are hearing and put together the instruction (messages) we are receiving. Disseminating Moon phases do this well. The auditory sense is naturally heightened during Disseminating phases. Sophia holds class and lectures, but she asks for class participation, so share yourself and your ideas with others.

There is an incredible amount energy to create today. If you have been working on a creation about the ruling dakini Nairatmya, her time is waning rapidly. The next goddess is already hard at work (the goddesses are following a much more fluid schedule now - in fact, it is barely a schedule at all. They are using the predominant astrology for their own purposes, so if prevailing energy suits the goals of a dakini, they easily bend to that. Let's allow this energy to get in place by being open to changes.

Saturday, March 30 - Sunday, March 31, 2013

The weekend's energy will predominantly affect relationships. Venus is rapidly approaching Mars while making a square to Pluto, so relationships continue their transformation. With the Sun close to the position of Uranus in the sky, relationships are taking unexpected turns.

We continue to process and release anything that no longer serves the highest and best expression of our lives while we are tieing up loose ends and taking care of things that are incomplete. We want to do the best we can with this because the lighter we are when the New Moon energy enters, the better this will be for us.

Friday, March 29, 2013

Did you find beauty and respite in nature yesterday? Were you lucky enough to see last night's Moon? I came upon it suddenly as I rounded a hill. I can recall few things that have taken my breath away, but this Moon left me suspended. This is the best photo of it I could find in the time I have to look. Perhaps other photos will surface on the net as the day goes on.

The energy today is restorative. Pressure is relieved. People, places, things and situations will come back in to bounds. This includes emotions. We're rectifying. This is welcomed because we need to take care of things that have been hanging over our heads - loose ends, things we've procrastinated about, things we've wanted to do but haven't had the time, anyplace where we feel like we've "fallen down on the job." We need to complete these things by April 5. On April 5, the transiting Black Moon will begin the cycle of death and rebirth that comes from it's opposition to the Galactic Center. The "death" or "degeneration" part of the cycle will last until May 7. Each of us will come to have a deeper understanding of the core of who we are.

Note that this begins right before the New Moon in Aries that I have been discussing all this week. We know that we will begin to emerge from an energetic "cocoon" at that time. The process culminates with the Black Moon making exact opposition with the Galactic Center on May 7, just before the New Moon in Taurus. I will go into this more (and how the archetypal energy of Pallas Athena and the new Mahavidya who is coming on duty play into all of this) in an upcoming audio file.

For now, continue the clean up. Clear out, purge, release, forgive, forget, and take care of what remains. Look for the Moon. Notice the gradations in the colors of nature.

Astrology defines electromagnetic energies that planets emit, paying special attention to the times when the planets make angles with each other. The angles cause unique effects in and of themselves. They have lives of their own.

Today we have complex and powerful angles. The effects will be clearly and in many cases dramatically visible. In general:

people will be attempting to communicate to heal a place they feel vulnerable, but this will be rather difficult to accomplish
vast and raw power is present in this confluence of energies; struggles with it are demonstrated by ego issues; leave the ego behind
humility and a softer approach is the directive in all actions, but the principle of FREEDOM is at the heart of all matters and manifests a purer or more refined effect on anything that comes from this mindset
a feeling of being on heightened alert or in a defensive posture is natural and it is good because it is a close contact with Gaia-Sophia today; however, we need to maintain fluidity because there is no real and true danger (since we are part of the collective and the collective will experience this energy in many ways - often through fear of rejection or disapproval -it is good to be aware. We always maintain a strong shield.)
relationships are definitely a focus of this and issues related to love, sex, power, and control are intertwined; Gaia-Sophia will use these electromagnetic frequencies (which are Archontically-dictated) to her end. At this particular time she is engaged in orchestration of a massive upgrade to the human experiment in order to make modifications and co-create with the experiment itself (us). The upgrade begins on April 10, 2013 (the New Moon in Aries). We do not need to worry about anything (as the energy would tend to have us do if we didn't know what was happening. Hacking the matrix is good, huh?).

As always, find beauty and respite in nature.

Wednesday, March 27, 2013

How does it feel to be a butterfly getting ready to emerge from its cocoon? This is pretty much what is happening now. Life is and always has been a process of transformation, but things are different now as the goddess embodied as the planet has fully awakened and fully engaged in direct communication with anyone who cares to converse. The "conversation" is a mixture of the goddess' personal instruction with each of us into the nature of reality (spirituality) and the collaborative playtime that ensues from the instruction. Essentially, the experience of living life changes when we engage with her to fulfill her Divine experiment - humanity. We've all been learning how to engage with her and we've gained more ability with this as she has focused more energy toward us.

This has unfolded in earnest since the summer of 2012 (which I termed the "turning point"). In the fall of 2012, another surge was directed (the "activation point"). All of this has caused us to grow.

We've gone through a sort of metamorphosis and now we are squirming for room because we are too large for the cocoon. Prismatic wings have developed and the colors crave reflection with the Sun. These colors developed their brilliance over the winter as we undertook an inner journey for wisdom into who we really are and what we want to express in the world (how we want to play).

What happens when we are on the brink of something big?

We become afraid and then we cause lots of problems for ourselves. We become mired in anxiety, confusion, self-doubt, and grief. The grief comes from the twinge of loss that is felt when things (people, places, things, situations) are released to change form. We interpret it as leaving something behind.

As we continue to try to create space around us in which to emerge refreshed (see yesterday's post in the Archives for more information), we can remember that nothing is every truly lost. Everything comes from the Divine and is always part of the Divine. Death - or an ending - is an illusion because everything is always together at its primary source.

Pressure is building for emergence from this "metamorphosis." The body, in particular, feels it keenly because the physical body has to contain the internal transformation.

I recognize that this sort of talk is par for the course in many new agey type circles. Transformation is the nature of life, so the theme visits often. But this is different. The planet is fully awake and engaged now. She's improving the lines of communication by upgrading our state of being. The next upgrade (or surge of energy) comes with the next New Moon. We are now halfway through this lunar month of preparation. That means another half-month to go.

What can you do to facilitate your metamorphosis?

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Today it is very important to stay open to ideas or input that is completely out of the normal range of consideration. Information blows in from out of the blue and should be taken into account. This is Gaia-Sophia's way of interacting (playing) with us. What are the new/different solutions and inspirations.that are presenting themselves?

Make sure you don't mistake the feeling of being "off course" or "off track" as negative. Remember that a process of deep change and transformation is underway in preparation for a new activation at the next New Moon. Changes are happening at the energetic level. Beginning at the next New Moon and continuing througout that lunar month, dormant DNA and unutilized areas of the brain will engage. This progression has been happening at regular intervals for some time; now we are able to see when these "upgrades" will occur. So we are clearing out and releasing the past so that emotional blockages do not impede the fullest manifestation of this. The more we clear out now, the more we can experience the uplift. This means clearing out clutter. Clutter builds up in our bodies, minds, and surroundings. Clean out your closet, your desk, your body, your mind. Plow your inner and outer landscape for a complete refreshment. More on this as the time approaches.

As far as removing blocks that have turned into sore spots in the body, I was gifted with the Rumble Roller last week. I am not one to peddle products, but this has changed my life. If you invest in one, don't be like me and overdose on it the first day (the muscle release was so intense that I couldn't stop!). Take it slowly.

Finally, sincerity goes a very, very long way today - much farther than normal, and the conflictual energy that was dominant yesterday begins to abate. Enjoy the playground of life with Gaia-Sophia today!

Monday, March 25, 2013

Today we are directed toward our inner power. It's a day to go inside and become very aware of your personal energetic resources and where they are being used. Focus your center of concentration (locus of control) on the inside of yourself, not on the outer world and watch how things are moving around.

Mars makes a square to Pluto today. This energy is in conlict. Mars wants to move forward and Pluto wants to take down. Oftentimes this brings emotional confusion and a layer of depression. We are less likely to spiral into confusion if we pull in our power and settle it inside instead of trying to make strides. Practice the technique of the wise owl in the tree and huddle back to the stance of observer.

Monday, March 16

Due to considerable work obligations this week, the report will be on break until Monday, March 25th.

This is the time of year when we release the past and prepare ourselves for new energy. It's a time for going inside ourselves in contemplation and working on creative projects. Between now and the next New Moon (April 10 - the New Moon in Aries, the astrological new year) we want to clear the landscape of our minds and bodies to receive an energetic upgrade. This is our assignment.

Saturday, March 16 - Sunday, March 17, 2013

The energy to ground limitless possibilities enters this weekend. Over the past few months we have undertaken a vision quest to gain wisdom. We've been integrating new insights, awareness, and understanding. This weekend we want to lift ourselves above ordinary awareness and look at things a different way. Is there something you haven't considered? Are things taking an unexpected turn? We know that the more we ground ourselves with the Earth, the higher the perspective we can gain. We ground ourselves by taking care of our basic needs and maintaining simplicity. The mental zone of simplicity allows magic to occur.

Mercury will station direct Sunday and communications, telecommunications, electronics, and travel issues are a reaction to this. Keep this in mind with your interactions with others. Give people their space. This energy is about opening things up and bringing people to new levels and events will reflect this.

Friday, March 15, 2013

You could say that today's energy brings what is ripe to fruition. Earlier this week we discussed how this month was going to bring greater clarity and insight into our lives or enable us to see how to integrate something. We're fitting the pieces of a bigger picture together and seeing how we fit in to a bigger picture. Of course, if you have been following this site for a while, you know that the bigger picture is the story of the goddess embodied as the planet and her creative vision-experiment of humanity. We are on the metaphorical playground with her, joining in what she wants to play and her joining with what each of us wants to play. Elements of who we truly are coming to the forefront for developement. This includes aspects of our destiny, latent talents, hidden desires, and urges to pursue. The inner voice is clear and strong under this energy. What type of imprint do you want to make on the human collective? We are doing it whether we know it or not, so why not consciously choose the way we want our personal energy and resources to affect the field?

This lunar month is ruled by the dakini Nairatmya. It is her second month to rule. This gives us another opportunity to understand her teachings and the way she delivers her teachings. How is she speaking to you?

Thursday, March 14, 2013

The keyword for today is diversify. This is in response to the dominant energy that is adjusting or shifting circumstances and relationships (see yesterday's report). There's a "newness" to this energy that wants us to embrace possibilities we haven't considered or haven't given enough creedance. Undeveloped or forgotten interests and talents are trying to come into awareness to be reborn in out lives. We are still in the energy of the New Moon and the combination of astrological aspects today fosters strong development any intention that is made.

The energy is bringing like toward like and pulling unalike and unalike farther apart. If a situation or relationship is producing a loss for you, is this something you've known was not in your highest and best interests.? Holes that are left will be transformed into something else - the energy guarantees this. Release any pain to the planet and ask that it be transformed.

Just a reminder about tonight's interview on "Living Astrology." Hope you can join us.

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

Today we continue this month's theme of cleansing and purging what no longer serves us. Events may cause us to examine peoples' motives and intentions. We look at our personal resources and how things are feeding or drawing on those resources in order to make adjustments. This energy may be difficult because people are trying to energetically come together, meet up, or come into resonance from different places or levels, which may initially cause friction or cause issues to surface. This will show up primarily in communications (miscommunications) so be sure that you understand what others mean before reacting to it. Remember that we are clearing ground this month and are supported by the strongest powers of release.

Tomorrow at 7 pm EDT/ 4 pm PDT/ 11 pm UTC I will be on "Living Astrology with Janet Hickox" on blogtalkradio. Click here for more info. Hope you can join us as we talk about the Black Moon.

Monday, March 11 - Tuesday, March 12, 2103 - New Moon in Pisces

Two Goddesses hailed the entry of the Pisces New Moon this evening. The faces of the feminine that are archetypally and astrologically known as Pallas Athena and Eris joined together in conjunction (the same place in the sky) Monday.

Note that they are not in conjunction with this New Moon. However, at the next New Moon on April 9, the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Mars, and Eris will all be at the position where Pallas Athena and Eris are right now. This New Moon, Pallas Athena and Eris ring a battle cry that echoes throughout this upcoming month until the forces of Venus, Mars, the Sun, the Moon, and Eris take the baton and carry the energy forward for a double power. Today's Pisces New Moon energy clears the way all month long for the energy of the Aries New Moon (the astrological new year).

To understand this better, we look at what Pallas Athena and Eris teach. Archetypally, both goddesses are known for various things but they are both associated with wisdom and battle, or even perhaps the "battle of the mind."

The April 9th New Moon in Aries has a third goddess ready in the shadows: the Black Moon will enter three degree orb of opposition to the Galactic Center. The Goddess of Shadows closes in from another side. Her power is the power of the unconscious, where all things are birthed into light. She is The Creatrix of the New. Her motion to direct opposite alignment with the Galactic Center (which is a one month long journey) means the divine beings (Aeons) in the Galactic Center are "on the line," delivering massive energy/information/light and inserting their own implementations. Intentions that are seeded or implemented at the April New Moon will unfold over the next few months as we resonate with this new strike of energy. It will feel like lightning in the body.

You may start to pick up April's energy as March progresses. This month we finish out the adjustments and manifest the wisdom gained since last summer. We release what no longer serves us because we need to prepare for the next month. Clearing out now will facilitate the process. It will be easier to do now because clarity about our lives and the direction of our lives is unexpectedly sharp despite the heavy mist of a Pisces New Moon with several planets in Pisces. It's more important to take better care of your body now so that you can ground the strike of energy - the upgrade - next month.

(Note: The goddesses discussed in this report are archetypal energies. They do not refer to the Mahavidyas, the Wisdom Goddesses who are a focus on this site. The Mahavidyas are not archetypes. They are real. Also please note that the reference to warrior aspects of Pallas Athena and Eris do not necessarily imply war or battle in the world, which will be discussed at that time)

Saturday, March 9 - Sunday March 10 2013

Watch as things start to coalesce and make better sense this weekend. Ironically, within the Piscean mists we find clarity. We are able to see things a different way and a fuller picture of emerges.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that Balsamic Moon phases are a time of preparation. We prepare the landscape of out minds for a new scene that enters with the New Moon. Balsamic phases are the time to clear and release (weed out) energies, beliefs, and feelings that no longer serve us. We prepare fresh ground.

The lunar month of the Pisces New Moon (which begins Monday, March 11) will not be the typical Pisces lunar month. This one will gently continue the theme of this Balsamic Moon phase of bringing clarity and understanding. The month is the final pivot point before a new turn in our personal evolution with the planet takes place at the Aries New Moon.

If you recall, last summer we had the "turning point." It was a huge surge in our energetic fields - an upgrade. In November, we had the "activation point" where we set out on a quest for a vision (wisdom) that has lasted all winter. Here is an excerpt from a post in early November (you can see all of these posts in the Archives).

"The Activation Point is more specifically the activation of a vision quest -the quest to enact not only Sophia's grand vision for humanity, but also our own personal vision. Remember that life on this planet is a co-operative endeavor with a divine being. Sophia's vision for humanity was for it to manifest its personal uniqueness while participating and assisting her in her return home - in real time. So our mission is two-fold and this particular part will last through February. This mission is to undertake our own vision quest and, by doing so, pave the way for others to do the same. Our efforts will carry along the collective of humanity (like the hundredth monkey effect). This will raise the collective vibration of humanity (strengthen the signal wave). Our personal vision quests are conjoined with the vision quest of Sophia because the expression of ourselves is her vision. So we will undertake the vision quest fully conscious of the fact that our quests are maintained by and connected with the planet herself."

So it is a good idea to think back to how this has unfolded for you. Think back to July. Major changes occurred and we worked with that all last summer. Throughout the fall, we undertook a quest of personal discovery and strengthened our communication with Sophia. A new spiral of evolution/ energetic upgrade will occur in April. More on that to come.

For now, we want to do the Balsamic thing and clear out and release. That means honoring all that has happened, regardless of what the outcome has been. We want to deeply ground inside of ourselves what we have learned this winter (summer for our friends in the South).

Balsamic Moon Phase - Moon in Aquarius

We come to the Balsamic Moon phase today, the phase that is preparation for the next lunar month. Balsamic phases are "ruled" primarily by Pisces, so the combination of this, the six planets in Pisces, and the fact that we are preparing for the Pisces New Moon makes this a mega-Balsamic phase!

Let's review: Balsamic Moon Phase is the time when the veils between the worlds are thinnest. It's a dreamy, creative, and highly spiritual time of the month. Direct discourse with Gaia-Sophia and her emissaries (this past month being under the charge of the dakini Nairatmya) is facilitated by the energy of the Balsamic Moon phase. I think we should thank her for her efforts to bring down patriarchal systems of control and domination (which I believe, as many others do, is indicated by the first step of Joseph Ratzinger's resignation). It's a joyful thing to be alive and witness the awakening of the planetary goddess and the co-communication with humanity to correct what has gone awry. One of the most important requests that we can make is to request the elimination of the Archontic influence in our lives. This is something only she can do. So we need to maintain the signal that this is our desire.

Balsamic phases are the time when we mentally step out of the matrix and go into communion with spirit. It's an inner time when outer activity is banal unless the activity is undertaken with the highest integrity and spiritual intention. It's a time to chill, which is great since we are approaching a weekend.

The dominant Pisces energy has a watery effect where the energies of the days have been flowing together in time. The reports over the last week can actually be applied to any of the days. This is why some feel like they experience the energy ahead of time. Have you noticed how "time" seems to be changing? There's a great bleed-through where fluidity is more important than exactitude. It makes writing these reports different from the way I use to write them, when times and astrology were more precise. But it is wonderful to break through that Archontic tool and the restrictions that come from it. Could you get any more Archontic than switching between "standard time" and "daylight savings time?" It's a perfect way to screw with the human animal. Can't you see your beloved animals looking at you like you've lost your mind when we suddenly "spring forward" and switch time?

But this is all changing and isn't it surreal to see it finally happening?

To tap in to the Balsamic energy, slow down, relax, step out of "time domination," and attach to simplicity. You'll be there in no time at all.

Thursday, March 7, 2013

Today Spirit takes over to work with whatever we have developed since the New Moon. So this means we step out and let things take their course. These types of days are always a leap of faith, but we have strong faith here. Our part in this is to let go and place our focus and energy on nature. The message is short and simple today: get grounded.

Wednesday, March 6, 2013

Greetings from inside "Winter Storm Saturn." If you think this report is going to be US- or Northern Hemisphere-focused, bear with me. It will tie together.

Did you know that the reason winter storms are now given names (like hurricanes) is to enable insurance companies to extract higher deductibles? Deductibles are higher during these "extreme" events. The thing is some of the named storms are extreme and some aren't.

But the Illuminati are never ones to let a good astrological aspect paired with a good name go to waste. As Saturn (which is retrograde or appearing to move backwards through the sky and manifesting energetically to allow all sorts of things in life go out of bounds) makes a precise sextile to Pluto with the Moon transiting Pluto, lo and behold: Winter Storm Saturn.

Most readers here are familiar with the Illuminati's use of hyper-dimensional geometry to steer weather systems. They use math but the math also has energetic effects on life - and they know this. It looks like occult magic and in many respects it is, but it is actually an amalgm of math and the laws of spiritual science. It's gives the power to destroy through the use of weather.

Saturn and Pluto come now from the land of ice and snow from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. They are overlords who rule by power and control and also by the destruction of power and control in order to transform it into something else - something desired. Their alliance is a powerful spell because it specifically captures the archetypal energies of both destruction and transformation. Order out of chaos.

I say it a lot lately, but the transparency of these so-called Illuminati's actions and intentions is boring. They are annoying gnats. From their recent track record we can even predict (although predict is sorely inaccurate because it's just a repeating pattern and requires no powers of prediction) that whatever major motion picture release is being hyped in the media/advertising/news conglomerate will also have these motifs encoded in it (The Great and Powerful Oz translate The Great and Power Saturn translate the Great and Power Illuminati translate the Great and Powerful Supreme Archon). Boring. And it is something of a distraction to even discuss it.

There's a counter to all of this and her name is The Great and Powerful Kali. She is aware and engaged, let me assure you. She may even have hijacked the Illuminati's plan for Winter Storm Saturn et al and infusing some magic of her own in it. Perhaps she is sending a message about her own targets. She is the Mistress of Magic after all. They don't stand a chance.

Here is what all of this filters down to for us: The energy is already heavy from the astrological effects of Chiron (discussed yesterday) and the alliance of Saturn and Pluto adds considerable weight. You may feel like you are battling something. This is where what we also discussed yesterday - butterfly medicine - comes into play. The energy of Saturn and Pluto is about the breakdown and transformation of structures. But any ideas about what needs to be broken down and transformed can be inserted into the energy to produce it.

We must state what we want to be broken down and what we want that broken down energy to be transformed into.

You can take this as far as you like but we are conscious co-creators now, communicating directly with the goddess Sophia who is embodied as the Earth. One of her personas, Kali (who in turn has many personas of her own - the Mahavidyas) is working directly to shape things according to our communication. We are on the playground with a Divine Being who is asking us what we want to play (see reports in Archives just before and after December 21, 2012 for more information about being on the playground).

Thoughts are powerful right now. Mind where they take you. And if you do see the Oz movie this weekend, view it with amazement about the power of humanity to create such beautiful works of art. Put up a mental shield and recognize that it is a spell being played out at higher levels of normal awareness and this will suspend your participation in the spell. It can be just a beautiful work of art.

Tuesday, March 5, 2013

Issues related to values, love, attraction, security, beauty, finances, and health surface today. This is a wide area of coverage, isn't it? For those that follow astrology, Venus and Chiron make exact conjunction today while continuing yesterday's square to Jupiter. This energy has been heavy. Chiron energy is a lot to handle and we've had a lot of Chiron in play. The thing to remember is today is not the end of the story. Whatever looks like the end is not really the end. We can't see things clearly right now, only hazy outlines. It's nebulous. So if you feel defeated about something or feel like giving up or giving up hope, just park that for today. Put it on hold. Skip out. Walk away. Let the universe take over and work with it for a while. Ask that it be transformed. "Butterfly medicine" is at work but in order for it to work we have to give it space.

Saturday, March 2 - Sunday, March 3, 2013

We are moved to share our thoughts, ideas, and projects with others during Disseminating Moon phases. In doing so, we add on to or build on what we already have based on what we learn from others. So it is important to share yourself this weekend even though the energy inclines us toward wrapping ourselves up so no one can truly see us. Fears about judgement from others, rejection from others, and disapproval from others are strong Saturday with the various astrological aspects. The energy pushes an element of division and separation from others (emotionally, mentally, and physically). The common reaction is to self-protect, isolate, and put up a barrier so that we don't get hurt. But this is the exact opposite of what we need to do. We need to share ourselves authentically and let the chips fall where they may.

Sunday's energy is rather unique in that we find ourselves engaged in important practice for something that is upcoming. There is a high degree of foreshadowing of future events. It is a good idea to take notes or journal what is going on in your life, what you hear from others, and what sparks your interest. Sunday is a day to fill yourself up or replenish your resources for something that is in the near future. Jupiter moves to the degree known as "a quiver filled with arrows" and the Sun is located at the degree of "an officer drilling his men in simulated attack." What do you make of that?

Friday, March 1, 2013

Let's see if I can untangle the nest of brambles that is today's energy. Let's take them one by one:

Fight or Flight: Today brings circumstances or events where we will need to choose between fighting (directly engaging something/ someone head on) and fleeing (mentally retreating to reason or think things out). Circumstances and events may be taking us out of our comfort zone or range of experience/expertise. There's "battle energy" in play, so don't go about unguarded. Use the technique of visualizing the shaft of light surrounding you, moving with you. We will need to stalk this energy or it will stalk us. Be aware. Above all, don't pretend to be more than you are. Humility goes along way today because it is stealthy.
Crazytown: The crazy is likely to come out today and it involves religious/spiritual motifs. "Religious ideation" and "messiah complexes" are present to varying degrees. This runs the spectrum of people believing they have all the answers and are totally in control of matters to bizarre cult-like behavior.
Chiron Point Persists: The Moon will oppose the Chiron Point (see yesterday's post in the Archives) while Venus and Neptune continue close conjunction at the Chiron Point as the Sun and Chiron continue their close conjunction. That's about as "Chiron" as we could get. Chiron energy is self-sabotaging, among other things (it has wonderful teaching and healing abilities as well). But with the battle energy that is also present, we could do real damage to ourselves today. In ancient mythology, Chiron was the teacher of great warriors like Hercules, Achilles, and other heroes. So if we find ourselves in a theatre of battle (the theatre of the mind or the theatre of the world around us), we need to direct our efforts outward and not inward. Chiron wounded his foot with a poison arrow he made for Achilles (the Achilles heel). Wise owls here here at the Oracle Report are familiar with shooting arrows. Shoot them where they belong and not at yourself. Watch your step and hold the rail. Neptune/Pisces rules the feet and we are under heavy influence by Neptune and Pisces. (I could write a disseration on transiting Neptune conjunct the natal Sun in Pisces with Chiron Point ascendant. I know of what I speak.)

Hidden within today's nest of energy is a crowning jewel, so please don't mistake this report to negate anything beautiful today. The Venus-Neptune conjunction continues to bring out the highest forms of spirit and real-life manifestations of our inner world. Find the beauty within the day. Let's not forget what is truly important: We are having a love affair with the goddess embodied as the planet and joining her on the grand stage of her creative experiment of humanity.

Thursday, February 28, 2013

Quite in contrast to yesterday, beautiful and creative energy enters today with Venus' conjunction with Neptune. This happens one day each year and it is awesome if you can attach to it! Neptune is considered the "higher octave" of Venus, meaning the conjunction takes the very best of Venus and brings it to lofty new heights. It exudes the love of life.

The Venus-Neptune conjunction aspects (by sextile) the Chiron Point (4 Taurus). The Chiron Point is the degree in the sky where Chiron was located when it was first discovered (it's "birthplace"). I frequently reference it because it is such a telltale element. Anyone with 4 Taurus in their natal chart or anyone with an aspect to 4 Taurus is "Chirotic," meaning their lives embody or follow along the path of the Wounded Healer. Chirotic people suffer greatly through the circumstances of their lives, but are able to use this suffering to help others, hence the wounded healer. So today we are all Chirotic, but since it is a Venus-Neptune conjunction at the Chiron Point, the focus is more on healing instead of wounding and the healing is intensely spiritual. The highest use of today's energy is to heal our relationship with ourselves - which is the most wounded of all our relationships. Any ugly feelings we have about ourselves can be worked with and transformed into something else today.

If the healing element to today's energy doesn't resonate with you, use the Venus-Neptune to find, create, or imagine the most beautiful things you can. It's a rare day and we want to take full advantage.

One last thing I'd like to mention is my personal frustration with not having time to answer my emails. Actually I am beyond frustrated. I've been able to get the reports up each day, but that is about it. I hope everyone understands that it is not from lack of desire to reply. My day job has become rather unmanageable, which often happens at non-profits when there is more work than people to do it. I am attempting to get this back in balance and hope to be back on track soon. Until then, consider the daily reports as a love lob from me to you.

Wednesday, February 27, 2013

The emotional windstorm dies down a bit today with the Moon moving out of Virgo and into Libra.

However, there is a twist today that may necessitate rejecting something that is "unworthy." Most people on a spiritual path do not like to think about things in such terms as worthy or unworthy. It implies judgment. But sometimes things come across our path that are not in our highest and best interests and oftentimes the Archons are behind it. Today is one of those days. Remember that when Archontic forces are at work, we need to consider it an annoyance and persevere. (New readers: the Archons are an inorganic, non-terrestrial species opposed to humanity, so named by the Gnostics. These entities manipulate people on Earth toward their ends. Their efforts across millenia have culminated in what is termed both "the matrix" and the "new world order.")

We want to be extremely critical of anything that smacks of "sucking us dry" energetically or is a 180 degree turn of events. This will be the criteria on which to judge worthiness. The questions to use are "Does this nurture or feed me?" and "Is this far-fetched?"

This is very confusing, which is the trademark of the Archons. They shroud things in complexity, illusion, and trickery. So evaluate anything new today very carefully. Remember that our band of Sophia's spiritual warriors is on the radar of these negative beings and that they will try to trip up our efforts to spread light across the planet. Remember also that it is easy for them to influence human beings who are not aware and even those who are. Disempower them by perservering through the obstacles they set up and maintaining a strong, grounded connection with the planet. Make sure you are noticing nature - it's one of the best remedies. Above all, don't give this too much power. Take the stance of the wise owl in the tree peering out and observing first and foremost.

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

The keyword for today is transcend. We are going to sail over any difficulties that come up today. Be aware that we may not understand everything that is going on (some elements of situations may be hidden) so we do not want to make drastic moves if possible. Being evasive is not necessarily a bad thing today. Transcending means consciously going above and beyond the situation. It means we prevail over the emotional soup that is in play. To do this we have to be fully contained and firmly anchored with the planet. There are pitfalls along the way where dirty laundry is being aired, so we will need to remember to fly over and by-pass all of that. This day is best approached with faith in the unfoldment of Sophia's vision and a sense of adventure that comes from our participation in it. It's a day to enjoy the ride by not getting too invested in what is going on around us.

This Full Moon sees Venus entering Pisces, joining Neptune, the Sun, Chiron, Mars, and Mercury, and adding an extra creative element to the energy. Beautiful things can be created and/or projected into the future because the power of visualization is strong. Even if you aren't an artistic person, your imagination is boundless and can create amazing pictures in your mind.

There is a wide undercurrent in play with Mercury coming back for the conjunction with Mars today, and it centers around competition, ambition, and displays for attention. This could border on histeria. We want to make sure we are using our energy wisely and toward efforts that have lasting-value, not fleeting reward. Keep in mind that Mercury-Mars conjunctions give us a quick tongue and we say things before thinking. Try to temper your communication. Emotions will be close to the surface (especially sadness and anger). Slow down while traveling and take caution. It's a road-rage kind of day.

Full Moons bring the power of full illumination. What will you do with all of this power?

Saturday, February 23 - Sunday, February 24, 2013

As mentioned, Mercury stations retrograde Saturday, causing potential issues with travel, electronics, and communications. The energy borders on chaos and we may find ourselves questioning if something is worth it or wondering if we have misplaced our trust or loyalty, especially if we are sacrificing something else. It may seem like all effort has come to nothing. It is hard to fully judge this until Mercury stations direct on March 17 so bear this in mind.

Sunday's energy jars or jolts us into clarity about something that is bogged down, giving us a wake up call. Mercury is headed back for another conjunction with Mars and the energy will build throughout the day and into Monday when the exact conjunction is made. A lesson is being taught. Monday is charged with emotional energy, so let's ground ourselves firmly with the planet today in preparation.

Friday, February 22, 2013

The themes of duty, honor, and protection of higher ideals take the forefront today. We also see where or to what people are dedicated. This is heart energy and it reveals much about the truth of matters. With this, Venus has reached the degree where we are find ourselves testing, gauging, and evaluating things. Since this is Venus, we tend to test, gauge, and evaluate relationships, love, and our ideas about money and attractiveness. Insecurities have a way of cropping up. Let's handle all of this the best way possible:

Avoid testing people. Gauging and evaluating are productive, but testing people as opposed to honest dialog is counterproductive.
Hold to the mission of serving the vision of Sophia. Keep nature close by going outside and connecting with Sophia's creatures and landscape.
Provide cover for anyone who is being challenged emotionally. By this I mean just be there for him or her. We tend to think that we have to be able to fix things or provide answers, but really all we need to do is be present.
Focus on higher ideals. What is your highest ideal? How can you honor that?

Mercury will station retrograde tomorrow. This means we need to back-up important information today or take care of any unfinished correspondence or business. Communications, electronics, and travel go haywire the day Mercury stations retrograde, so plan ahead today. Mercury will be retrograde until St. Patrick's Day (March 17).

Thursday, February 21, 2013

Today is the day of the "giveaway." We want to give away some of our time, energy, resources, or attention for the benefit of another or others. Anything that is undertaken through collaboration with others will yield much better results today.

Mutations or imbalances tend to show up under this energy also. We see what areas of our lives are out of balance in proportion to other areas. When this happens, distortions arise. Use the energy of the giveaway to remove any distortion that has manifested in your life (and in your body). The Sun has developed magnetic fields that harbor potential for M and X class flares. This will make mutations or distortions more evident or visible. It shows up most readily with the physical body, but mental and emotional mutations/distortions are noticeable also.

The Sun and Neptune remain in close conjunction, helping us to see things more clearly. It takes a brave heart to look sometimes, but it is worth it. Have a wonderful day, everyone. Let's give away the love.

Wednesday, February 20, 2013

Today is a day for spiritual warriors on a mission! We can break barriers and get things that aren't flowing to move well. We can make real progress to clear up congestion or confusion or take down anything that is not in alignment with what is good, honest, and based on love and light. It is going to be hard to tolerate anyone or anything that is putting up an obstacle or barrier, anything that thrives in darkness, or anything that has had us on a roller coaster ride. The tide changes today in favor of what is good. So use the opportunity to strike out and rectify something. What needs to be fixed? Our emotions will tell us today.

Tuesday, February 19, 2013

The skills of an acrobat will facilitate navigation of today's energy. This implies that we will need to move fluidly between situations, changing and adapting to things as the day goes on. If you are locked in place with something - locked in a mindset, belief, habit, etc. - consider unlocking because rigidity will cause strife today.

The Moon made its monthly conjunction with the Black Moon earlier today, so the themes of the Black Moon in Gemini are stronger. The core fear of the Black Moon in Gemini is the fear of rejection, disapproval, and disappointment. We tend to try really hard to win acceptance from others when this energy is present. But this is the wrong way to go about things. The focus should be on what we want/need to do, not what others want/need us to do. We need to make things according to our own satisfaction. If you do face a rejection, disapproval, or disappointment today, look to see if you failed to look out or take care of yourself in some way. The Moon conjunct the Black Moon in Gemini always shows where we are lacking in our own self-esteem. So keep yourself in the equation today. Don't hide your light out of fear.

I have not talked about this month's ruling dakini because it is not a Mahavidya; the ruler is Nairatmya, a Diamond Sky Dakini. Others may disagree, which is of course their perogative. Since I have only been instructed by the Mahavidyas and have not followed Nairatmya's energy long enough to be able to comment, we are learning about her together. I can tell you that she is quintessentially Piscean. By the Disseminating Moon phase we will have a better understanding of her, so watch closely and learn, and let's share what we have found at Disseminating.

Sunday, February 17 - Monday, February 18, 2013

This is my Many Thanks Day. Many thanks to everyone who participated in visualzing the parliament of owls across the sky yesterday. It is interesting that a group of owls is called a "parliament," isn't it? Many thanks also to Oracle Report reader Mike who informed us of this bit of information.

Another reader, Cheryl, asks why I use the owl symbolism here. I began working earnestly with "owl medicine" when I started research for my first book "Eris." The owl has been long-regarded as a guardian, a protector, and force of the goddess. It also is associated with wisdom, of course. A few years ago, I introduced the technique of going inside ourselves and witnessing what was happening in the outside world, being energetically-buffered from the fray of events. The metaphor was to be like a wise old owl going inside the branches of a tree (or a hole in a tree) and peering out. I referred to this often, so this is how the notion of readers being like wise old owls began.

So now with thousands of readers and millions of hits to the site each year, the parliament has grown to a proportion that still surprises me. The word parliament is accurate because we represent and uphold the value of life and champion the dreaming of Gaia Sophia, the divine being embodied as the planet. This is the mission of this site.

There was massive black magic afoot yesterday. I am always cautious in how I "warn" of this because everyone is at a different level of understanding. But I may have to just be very blunt about it in the future because it was all I could do to get a note out and all Andrew could do to load it to the site from his location. He is a dear and assists however he can anytime Archontic forces interfere with me writing and uploading to the net. We owe him many thanks.

But there was also massive white magic afoot yesterday also. The fly-over of the parliament was a warning shot over the bow. It says that we stand with Gaia Sophia and hold the frequency of beauty, freedom, and love of life. It says that we just aren't going to stand by and be oblivious.

The Sun has moved into Pisces, conjuncting Neptune (in its home sign), and joining Chiron, Mars, and Mercury. I've been living with Neptune conjunct my Pisces Sun for many months now. My teacher told me that it blows your eyes wide open to things - as if the clouds were parted - and she was entirely correct. The popular belief is that Neptune conjunctions produce more confusion, but I have not experienced it that way.

So this is what the energy will be like for the upcoming week. Clarity sparkles and brings great relief. But it ain't easy. Emotions, psychic awareness, vicitmization, spirituality, addictions, and creativity are all triggered when the Sun goes into Pisces, but the addition of the other planets here and the fact that Neptune is in its home sign make it a mega-Pisces transit.

Let's not forget also that Pluto is playing puppeteer to Mars and Saturn via sextile, with Saturn and Mars in trine. This means mega-transformation of structures and levels of energy. It's also highly aggressive and warlike (hence the battle between light and dark yesterday). Saturn will station retrograde on Monday. This is going to bring a certain degree of bedlam. We know to take care and slow down any day a planet stations retrograde or direct because things get intense. Saturn is in Scorpio - the granddaddy of intensity.

The main thing to keep in mind is to stay grounded with all of this energy. Don't get washed away in Neptune's great wave. Temper emotions. Use your powers of expression to handle difficulties. This is a wonderful time of year and holds potential for powerful changes. Just look around and you will see it.

I will end with many thanks to all of you for holding light and beauty as the times become more turbulent.

Saturday, February 16, 2013

Everyone needs to be fully locked in to your center and grounded to the planet. Picture yourself as a gold or white cylinder of light that can sway and swing, but is completely tethered. Know that you are fully protected and shielded. You may have a shock, surprise, or insight that will take time to understand. You may need to use the skills of an archer to maneuver the energy.

Please join me in visualizing a flock of thousands of owls flying through the sunset sky. It would be even better if you go outside at sunset wherever you are on the planet and picture it.

Please understand the power of this day.

Friday, February 15, 2013

A transformation of sorts takes place for us today. Something inside of us shifts in response to the energy. We may come to see something in a different light or find something that we lost a while ago. Regardless of the circumstances in which this plays out for each of us, we need to take time to adjust to the transformation. We need to ease into whatever transpires today. "Change" is another word for transformation, but "transformation" is less scary for people. I think this is because with transformation there is an implication of the changes being for the better or for a higher purpose. This is certainly true today.

Chiron is being activated today, and it may make the day difficult for some. If you are struggling today, hold on. If you are in pain, go outside and give it to the planet. The planet will heal the wound but the pain can only be released by you. You must forgive yourself or face endless suffering. Guilt, shame, blame, and the like stifle all of life. The energy is in place to help you release and transform.

Thursday, February 14, 2013

The keyword for today is perseverance. Life may force you down the road less traveled today, which is often challenging in itself, but today's energy tests our limits. Authenticity of spirit is what enables us to persevere when we are under these types of conditions. Some will be presenting the image of success, love, organization, commitment, and strength, but can it be back up with the truth? In other words, does the mask match reality or if the veneer was stripped away what would truly remain? Does the outer expression match the inner one? Keep intentions pure and all will be well.

This is the end of today's report, but I do want to mention one thing. I usually use the word perseverance in context of the Archons. Perseverance is the strategy that defeats their interference in our lives. They are good at manipulating circumstances and influencing people into action, but they are not all-powerful. They are like annoying gnats. We can work our way out of situations they design by not giving up. Patience gives us the stamina to persevere when the attacks are heightened.

Wednesday, February 13, 2013

Today works best if we take things simply and lightly. The gentle violets in this picture remind us of this. Mars has moved off of Chiron, settling the impulsivity and tendency toward self-sabotage that was prevalent. The Moon has moved into Aries, slowly restoring our energy. We need to go slowly also. Issues involving the level of commitment are center stage. On the eve of Valentine's Day, this puts more pressure on relationships. We are coming off of a deeply emotional New Moon phase and need to take care with our words, expectations, and plans. Get down to what is really important - what you really value - and forget about the fluff. The degree of Venus makes today more like Valentine's Day than tomorrow. There's a lot more love in the air today. Ironically, the love we need to express the most right now is to ourselves. If we can connect with that, we can then radiate it outward. I always caution about the potential to become narcissitic when we follow the energy so closely like we do here. Today it is necessary to some degree because something about ourselves has to be taken care of before we can focus on anyone else.

Tuesday, February 12, 2013

As the emotional New Moon phase continues today, objectivity will temper any area where emotions have surged. The emotional body is overtaxed, so the mental body will compensate. Slip into a perspective of witness (instead of active player) and then observe. The exact conjunction of Mars and Chiron today is a powerful event. Both planets symbolize warriors (Mars is well-known as the warrior archetype and Chiron was the teacher of the great warriors such as Achilles and Perseus). They bring teaching. In Pisces, the teaching is of a spiritual nature, but usually gained through some sort of pain. Ultimately the teaching heals the wound and we see that the pain was worth it because of what we gained. We can skip all of this and forgive ourselves for whatever we think we've done to deserve pain in the first place. But that is not how we generally do it. Unconditional self-forgiveness is the aim, for any spiritual warrior/wise owl who is brave enough to try.

In context, let's not forget the larger picture while we are working on our individual spheres of influence. It is easy to become overly self-concerned because the emotional energy is so strong. We maintain the awareness that we are serving Sophia and her vision in any way we can and we are open to instruction from her in whatever way she chooses (directly, through the Mahavidyas and other Dakinis, through nature, through art, etc.). Maintaining this state of mind while at the same time living your life (and analyzing and gauging sometimes, like today) puts you in the zone to affect change in the game that is being played out on our fellow beings. It also is how we consciously participate in Sophia's dream.

Monday, February 11, 2013

Internet problems and various other annoying issues had me offline for a couple of days so I will summarize what's going on:

The New Moon energy had conjunctions of Neptune, Mars, Chiron, Mercury, and the Moon - all in Pisces (water) - and squaring Jupiter (which expands everything to the greatest possible degree. It's a deluge of emotions (water). It brings an insanity of wreckless abandonment, bursts of simmering rage, instinctual impulses to escape and escape fast, pain, and something akin to the Furies. This would have been the warning about the New Moon energy that fell in line Saturday and Sunday.

We are still under these effects and we need to slow things down. There is a tendency to drive very fast and not even know it. But the main thing is dealing with our emotions, not denying or escaping them. Even the most even-keeled, emotionally grounded individuals might be challenged by the intensity of emotions. Wrtiing can help things flow much better. Any type of creative art that is employed to channel emotions will have "magical" properties (power). With all of this you have to think like a Pisces. If you are finding this not much fun, you understand what it is like to be a Pisces. It's complicated. But the power to express/create beauty - in all its forms - and attune to Spirit is unrivalled. Pisces energy is handled best when it is spiritually connected but also creating something from it (even a thought).

Note: Discussion of the Mahavidyas will flip over to the Mahavidya Project website at www.mahavidyaproject.com where I will post material over the next few days.

Thursday, February 7, 2013

Efforts undertaken in collaboration with others are highlighted today. The energy favors bringing people together to exchange ideas and make things better. But there is a lot of confusion and waywardness, causing barriers. Neptune, Mercury, and Mars are in tight conjunction squaring Jupiter and it is quite a mixture. It is very important to think before we speak or take action. It's not a time to make huge decisions, so put it off if you can. There's a lot of chatter on the line and it is harder to gain clarity. Be patient and take things as they come. Rushing or trying to follow rigid timescales will be frustrating. I'm calling today a "remix" because things are being rearranged, reconfigured, and restored (see yesterday's report for more information). This can leave us feeling a little out of control, and we are, so the more you can go with it, the easier it will be. It's a deluge for sure, so be extra kind to yourself and others today.

Wednesday, February 6, 2013

The Moon made its monthly alignment with the Galactic Center early today. At the same time, the Sun released the first Earth-directed coronal mass ejection since December 21, 2012 - which I believe was exactly as indigenous people prophesied as the time when a "new sun" emerged. The Sun is new in that it has changed the nature of its properties. It is changing to suit the desire of Sophia as she executes corrections within the experiment. The properties of light are a major element in how she accomplishes the changes. You could say she is modifying us but it is more accurate to say that she is restoring us to an earlier state (version) before the disease of the Archons began intensive degeneration of humanity. The perspective changes when you see that it is restoration that is taking place because it implies that all that was ever needed was always there. Nothing was ever missing. The totality of who we are and what we are able to do has always been in here and not out there. Inside we glitter with potential.

But let's return to today's story of the Sun-Moon-Galactic Center-Earth - a divine collaboration with Sophia's experiment. The coronal mass ejection was not only interesting in that it is the first that is directed at Earth, but also because it is an "inky-dark plume," as spaceweather.com describes it. Indeed it does look like that in the filters of the solar telescope. The signature of its plasma is much different from the rest of the Sun. This energy is going to cast things out. It is extremely potent. Although the CME is expected to reach Earth between February 8-9, the effects began as soon as the eruption on the Sun occured.

We can participate by recognizing what is happening and casting out whatever needs to go. There is no limit with this.

These themes are at work now and will continue to coalesce over the next few days.

Monday, February 4, 2013

The Oracle Report is on break and will return Wednesday, February 6th.

Saturday, February 2 - Sunday, February 3, 2013

On Saturday we are feeling the love. It's a carefree, unencumbered feeling, but just under the surface are questions or concerns about committment and conviction. We can discern the truth about where we stand and where others stand if we look at what is truly meaningful, important, and valuable and take out anything that smacks of control. Give things the freedom to be what they are today. No pressure should be placed on anything. When we relieve conditions and expectations, love has room to come in and work magic.

Hopefully we are able to integrate the idea of loosening up control on Saturday, because Sunday's energy is completely opposite. Sunday's energy pushes control issues and the tendency to feel sorry for ourselves because we feel we lack something. It is easy to get down on ourselves or feel disappointed in some way. This will require us to be kind to ourselves - self-love as opposed to love for others, like Saturday's energy. It is much harder. But if we consider that our life force is a gift from the Great Spirit and given to Sophia to create her vision, we see where we fit into the bigger picture. We see that we are loved.

I'd like to say something about the battle between life and death (light and dark, love and fear, etc.) that has been underway since December. December 21, 2012 was the begining of a battle. But fighting battles can be subtle. If you remember, I focused on connecting with Sophia and joining her on her playground - as a celebration. I tried to lighten the density of fear that was imprinted with that date. It was a calculated measure. I am perfectly aware that we are at war with forces that seek our destruction (Archons). But there are many ways to fight other than direct confrontation. Sometimes you change the parameters of a fight, and in so doing, you alter the course of events. We were not absent in the battle that began on 12-21-12. We were not bystanders then and we aren't bystanders now. By seeking attainment with the love and joy of participating in Sophia's vision, we countered the wave of death, fear, and destruction that was so prevalent at that time. We shoot our bows and arrows on a daily basis as we fight the good fight against the Archontic forces that seep into our lives and control the world around us. We are a flock of old owls that is spread across the world in service to Sophia on a daily basis and we hold the line.

Friday, February 1, 2013

Venus and Mars move into different signs today; Venus enter Aquarius and Mars enters Pisces. So a change-up in the energy is in store today, especially regarding relationships.

During Disseminating Moon phases, we need to be aware of what we are hearing - what is being said. Pay attention to what people are telling you. Everyone wants to be heard today, so be mindful and include everyone who needs to be involved in any kind of discussion. If important decisions need to be made, ask for help or input from others. It's a "group effort" type of day, so other perspectives should be valued.

While we are listening to others, we also need to be sensitive to what spirit is telling us. Where are you being guided? Your personal dialog with Sophia (or with her emissary Matangi) can be whatever you want it to be. It's an all-inclusive package. Remember that we are engaged in the co-creation of our lives in service to the vision of our Mother. The natural world is her favorite method of communication, so tune in. We're receiving and transmitting important information today.

Thursday, January 31, 2013

Today we should pay attention to signs and symbols, especially through repetition of the same element. What is reappearing? We can easily see that events are repeating from the not too distant past. Our range of vision has been widened this month - it became more hawk-like. This enables us to understand more. We understand things about ourselves and our lives. It happens as we maintain our direct connection with the planet each day. We support her and she supports us.

Disseminating Moon phase is the time of sharing our thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others and listening to theirs and then seeing a broader perspective. This Moon Phase works best when you link with others. Any combined efforts are highly empowered.

We remain in the energy of Jupiter stationing direct and the release it has brought (it comes in a wave). This means equilibrium is beginning to engage. We aren't interested in being slaves to the energy, so we always try to maintain equilibrium; but sometimes it requires much more effort (like it has for a few months). Understand that this is underway. Matangi is supportive. Jupiter stationing direct just provides her with more to work with.

Wednesday, January 30, 2013

The big news today is Jupiter stationing direct (appearing to move forward again in the sky). Jupiter direct is like releasing a massive slingshot that has been pulled back as far as it goes. An extreme amount of pent-up energy is released with this. Pent-up emotions are released also. Jupiter is giant; the effects of its movements ripple through the collective in waves. If you have felt restricted or limited, you will begin to notice things loosening up. Things that have been a problem for a while will begin resolving themselves. Matangi will be working with this to increase her already-vast range of influence and effectiveness. There is a great deal of power in the air today. Where do you want to focus it?

Monday, January 28, 2013

A values assessment is underway today, contributing to this Moon phase's undercurrent of bringing awareness and understanding. We are blessed with the vast range that came in along with it (it seemed surreal).

But all of this needs to sink in. Everything that has happened since the New Moon phase needs to be considered. But we need to step back from any pressure that we are putting on ourselves - about anything. Today continues to soothe hurts or fears or make things more efficient and valuable in the ways that are important. It's an interesting combination - one that we don't see often.

(Note for astrologers: I am referring to the "Moon phase" - not "New Moon." Moon phases occur over days - the energy is more fluid in this method. It's more of a dance than an equation. This site is not about exactitudes. I think that exactitudes are debatable now since we don't know exactly where in the sky or in what form/property Sophia is operating from. It's multi-dimensional for sure. But I have no desire whatsoever to debate it. That would be a a diversion and it would be divisive. There is room for all when we are singular in our love for Sophia - all ways are invited.)

Saturday, January 26 - Sunday, January 27, 2013

A blanket of energy comes down this weekend to quell or soothe anything that is in a state of unrest, distress, fear, mistrust, disequilibrium, chaos, disorganization, powerlessness, or incompletion. A great number of people will "awaken" to the truth of the world during this Moon phase. Full Moon phases bring the most amount of light that enables us to see. The collective of humanity is imprinted with this energy through the full embrace of Sophia.

But we always remember that full light can be blinding and hurtful and at some point or another, each of us will struggle to stay positive. Sadness and depression can creep in sometimes. We fall subject to harsh criticisms and judgments of ourselves. It can be hard to stay cognizant of the true story that we are the creation of the Aeon Sophia and engaged in her vision in real-time. This Moon phase's blanket of energy will help with all of this.

Some will respond aggressively to the blanket of energy because there is a countermeasure in operation to incite as much as possible. Astrological conditions make this weekend tempting for them because the vast feminine force is at work. But they have no understanding of the feminine and are thus driven to try and destroy it. I say try and destroy it. There's no chance for that under this energy. Nothing that is undertaken now that is based in fear will have any long-term chances.

Special thanks to wise owl Gail for this photo from Pennsylvania. The picture says it all.

Friday, January 25, 2013

Today's energy is emotionally-charged! The tendency is to feel defeated and out of resources (time, energy, money, etc). If your outlook appears gloomy, it's time to take a rest and let things re-organize themselves. This month's energy takes things and improves them. It changes their form. Knowing this, we can consciously focus on what we would like to change. Anytime we have difficulty, the remedy is to connect with the planet. The best way to do this is to shift our attention to nature. Being observant of nature is (fast-acting) medicine. Nature reminds us of what is real, what is true. Let's use the emotionality of today to project our hearts to connect with the great goddess embodied as our planet. She's a magnificent artist who has created a beautiful home for us. Matangi, the aspect of the great goddess that is at work this lunar month, loves the symbol of the heart. It is one of her signs. With Valentine's Day approaching, there are hearts everywhere. If you notice one, think about Matangi. Or bring the energy to you by drawing hearts on a piece of paper. Matangi heals hearts and all of us could use a a little bit of help with that right now. Life is hard. If you feel yourself pulling toward the negative today, use one of the ideas in this post to shift off. Let go of the need to control and give the energy space to reorganize the emotional, mental, and physical bodies.

Thursday, January 24, 2013

Today is surreal. It might be surprising - but not shocking, which is a more difficult experience. So we aren't totally blown away by anything; we take it more gently. Matangi works like this. Even though she is associated with coming through and cleaning things up, she is experienced as a relief - a breath of fresh air, a Maori breeze. She takes care of things.

You can put this in the context of a phenomenally magical Moon phase. Creative visions have more power right now. We can also look back to September/October 2012 and see the progression of things/circumstances put in place during that time. All of that is re-empowered today. Again, this may be a surprise but not a shock. We may even be surprised about our own naivete or level of gullibility.

All of that said, surreal can be very interesting and, to some degree, fun. But it only happens if we are open to it. Don't miss the opportunity today. Stay open to ideas, people, places, events, possibilities, etc. We need to remember that we are rooted in place on the planet, but simultaneously able to take our minds into far greater spaces. Let's embrace the complexity with the knowledge that even if it doesn't fully make sense now, it will at some point. There is no pressure.

Wednesday, January 23, 2013

Today's energy brings the past into view. But this isn't happening just to give us an opportunity for insight (although that is part of it); it's happening to get us to tap into something at our core level and use it to strengthen our connection with the planet, Gaia-Sophia. So you can envision this as if you had roots of energy coming out of your feet and reaching straight down to the core of the planet. It's important that we gain some grounding today, and remembering where we came from will facilitate this. With this, we're looking at what takes precedence and if we feel we are getting our due. The tendency to react on impulse is high today, but keep in mind that Gibbous phase is not a time for reactions. It's a time to infuse things with magical properties (mindsets and intentions). Gibbous Moon phase transforms the shape of things. So instead of acting out or reacting (especially if we are seeking to fill our needs), we can fortify the vision of our lives that we are co-creating with Sophia by holding off judgment and by-passing the need for approval and acceptance from others. We must fill our own needs today. We've become familiar with the aspect of Matangi that represents the mother energy taking care of things. She asks us to do for ourselves today because she has plans in the works for the Full Moon phase. (Incidentally, I am trying to adjust for the shift in the Earth's position with regard to when the Moon phases enter. They enter one day earlier now, so today is actually the second day of the Gibbous phase. I will begin reflecting the adjustment when I list the Moon phase above.)

If you are interested in learning more about Matangi and the other Mahavidyas, check out the secondary Oracle Report site dedicated to collecting our individual instruction with them - www.mahavidyaproject.com. We're learning a lot over there. For example, Eileen shared that Matangi means "breeze" in Maori. Matangi certainly feels like a breath of fresh air. She's flow-y like that. Wise owls from the Oracle Report are sharing what Matangi is teaching this month. Everyone is invited!

Tuesday, January 22, 2013

Today we get by with a little help from our (spiritual) friends. We need a bit of help today, as things don't run the way we would ideally want them to. This is a day when we need to practice turning things over to a higher power. If you start to become frustrated or impatient (or you are harshly judging yourself and your performance), stop and let go. Let go of the struggle. Give it to a force greater than yourself and ask that it be handled. We're seeking our own approval based on a standard we have set. What is the standard based on? Is it based on the expectations of the matrix? Or is it a standard of perfectionism we have built? It may be necessary to go to books that teach spiritual truth. What makes you feel better? You may need to deploy your "bow and arrow" to shoot down negative thought forms. Mars makes a square to the Nodes today, bringing circumstances that affect our futures as well as insight that helps us bring meaning to the past. We need to outfox the dominant energy that is pushing us to be self-absorbed and feel defeated and alone today. It is an illusion. Let's get out of our way and let higher powers handle things. (Today's picture was taken by V. Scheglov in Russia on January 19th and posted on spaceweather.com.)

Saturday, January 19 - Monday, January 21, 2013

The Sun has moved out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, without the raging sunspot delivering a solar flare. All of the energy was contained by the Sun. It's rare for that level of energy not to be dispersed. But Matangi is very, very good at calming volatile situations. She cleans things up and to do that, new chaos cannot enter. She draws the line. This solar energy wasn't released in a massive ejection, but the electro-magnetic fields do affect us to some degree because the Sun sustains our lives. Internal activity on the Sun means internal activity for us. Matangi is much more "at home" when the Sun moves into Aquarius. Like Aquarius, Matangi lets her freak-flag fly. She is a protector of those of the margins of society. She takes great pleasure in expressions that are out of the ordinary. All of the Mahavidyas rail against controls, but Matangi will take the fight to the end. She does not give up. There is strong energy in place on Saturday that prompts an "I told you so" attitude and the need to be right or convert someone to certain beliefs. This doesn't help anything. Matangi allows for equality and inclusion of all. She is exceptionally non-judgmental. So, situations where there is an imbalance of power will not work out well right now, especially on Saturday.

Sunday's energy carries an undertone of disappointment, failure, or hopelessness. This may take us by surprise. But we must break through these illusions. Matangi is about breaking points. She says enough when things have gone far enough. We want to look at situations and see what possibilities remain. What can we work with? What can come from this? What can be cleared away? What can be fixed?

Monday is power-packed. Mars will square Eris, bringing heightened potential for aggression. The issues of freedom and rebellion are at the forefront. We will want to rebel against anything that compromises our freedom or makes us feel trapped or boxed in. In the mythology of Eris, she throws the "Apple of Discord" at anything that is superficial, false, tyrannical, or unjust. She upsets things. The forceful unpredictability of the Eris energy is an aspect that is used by Archontic forces to shape reality. But we must be wise and see through any attempts to mold the collective consciousness toward fear and chaos. Stay closely connected with the Earth on Monday. Pay attention to her animals and trees and the strength of her emotions through the weather. She is always closeby, but we can bring her closer.

Friday, January 18, 2013

There is often a great relief that is felt when we move from Crescent Moon phase to First Quarter Moon phase. Crescent Moon phase challenges and tests us. It can be quite exhausting energetically. The main thing to take away from the Crescent Moon phase is what we "saw." What were we enlightened about? What did we learn about life, ourselves, others, nature - anything. What did we learn about fear? Matangi teaches these things. She takes care of what needs to be taken care of, but in the process, she likes to be taken care of, too. In other words, she would be overjoyed at being appreciated. The Mahavidyas are having their own experiences, too. But it is boring and a little disappointing when it is a one way street - when we don't give back. A simple thank you is sufficient. An attempt at conversation would send them over the Moon. So consider having a conversation with them. We have a Sun-Mercury conjunction and the Moon will square it before the Moon moves into Taurus. The Venus-Pluto intensity is waning, which brings a calming effect. We are entering energy that will be very grounding. We could set things firmly in place, as if we were digging a hole, pouring in concrete, and setting a post. Anything set up or activated or intended this month will have an exceptionally strong foundation.

Thursday, January 17, 2013

Hawk-like powers of vision are available today. This is a wonderful gift. The hawk's vast range of vision is akin to seeing into the future. It's a broad scope. It enables us to make adaptations and adjustments along the way. Flying along, we can see what would work best or what would be easier and, in many ways, what would be more energetically-efficient. Venus and Pluto remain close together, though moving off from conjunction and thus bringing the intensity level down somewhat. Venus-Pluto energy causes us to burn hot and fast. It stresses the systems of the body in many ways, but in many ways it brings things back to life. It is a catalyst for events for sure! So we need to be especially kind to our bodies in order to balance things out.

The Sun has been raging, but the energy has not released. It is being contained by the Sun. It is holding back. This could change at any time. The electric universe is poised to be plugged in, but it will depend on that the dominant mother energy of this month decides to do. Many of the planets are highling charged (Mercury, Earth, Venus, and Pluto). So it could be very dramatic. We've already been seeing this played out in the weather and with the explosive agitation and activation of viruses and bacteria. All life is activated when the Sun is highly volatile as it is now. It has beta-gamma-delta fields. There is a massive amount of energy in play here. This has all been building because the Sun powered down during all of the chaos surrounding the December 21, 2012 solstice. We were blessed. But the Sun and Matangi are at work now so we will see what they do

But remember, today is about hawk-like powers of vision. What are you seeing?

Tuesday, January 15, 2013

The energy continues to be extremely complex. Our emotional, mental, and physical bodies are heightened to a sharp degree. This is causing us to examine where we want to draw the line, take a stand, or decide how much of our energy (time, resources, love) we can devote. We are examining where we have had enough. We are asking oursleves what we want to protect and what we want to preserve.

The exact conjunction of Venus and Pluto happens approximately one time each year for about a week all told. The conjunction effects relationships, obsessions, money, structures, systems, among other things. The exact conjunction occurs tomorrow night around 9:30 pm EDT/2:30 am UTC. So the energy will build until that time and then begin to taper off progressively. Remember also that Venus and Pluto are making a square to Uranus, which adds a fast, unexpected element to the mix. Since Uranus is in Aries, anger comes into play and this is happening toward the extreme end with some people really losing it. As discussed over the past couple of days, realtionships change/transform under these influences. The main outcome will be a situation that is much cleaner and works better.

The sunspot we've been watching is squarely facing Earth and poised for M-class solar flares. This is also adding a layer of intensity. The sunspot is so big that is visble on the Sun to the naked eye in misty daylight. That's a lot of energy! So stay grounded with the planet and prepare for an upgrade today. Pace yourself. Keep emotional equilibrium. Practice the stance of the wise old owl in the tree peering out if needed.

Monday, January 14, 2013

Today prompts us to "avoid" or "escape" responsibilities or something we do not want to face, but we will be better off if we do it. It's a day for taking care of details and catching up on things we've put off. If things have been piling up on you, you'll experience relief just by tackling the pile. With Venus and Pluto squaring Uranus, unexpected things are developing within relationships. Uranus will bring changes, and they are often quite fast and surprising. Mercury is rapidy approaching the Sun for conjunction and causing our minds to be very active. Focus on what you appreciate. Tell people how you appreciate them. We're still watching the behemoth sunspot and the possibility for X-class flares, which will certainly add emphasis to the energy.

Note for anyone interested in participating in the Mahavidya Project: In addition to the Facebook group, there is now a website dedicated to this effort. This enables anyone to contribute, not just those on Facebook. The site is www.mahavidyaproject.com. Many thanks to Andrew for all of his help with this. This is where we will collect wisdom that we gain from working with the wisdom goddesses each month. Remember that I've only given a rough outline of what this month's ruling Mahavidya is about. We need to go beyond my description to capture the complexities of her nature.

Also, please note that Kali is usually the Mahavidya on duty during this month. The Mahavidyas are not rigid. They work fluidly. Kali came on duty for most of last month. Since all of the Mahavidyas are faces of Kali, any one of the Mahavidyas is able to step in during Kali's month and work. This doesn't happen often, but there have been exceptional needs over the past six weeks that have caused more overlap and collaboration between the goddesses. So you could say that this month is flavored by a Kali-Matangi mix, with many of Matangi's sharper qualities enhanced. This is a bit more advanced than I would prefer it to be while we are starting out our project of disseminating the wisdom of the Mahavidyas, but it happens to be the case so we will incorporate it into our learning.

Saturday, January 12 - Sunday, January 13, 2013

This weekend's energy may require making or taking a stand on something or showing our position on something. What will we stand up for or show approval of? As discussed yesterday, the energy of Sophia's wisdom goddess named Matangi will be on duty this lunar month. Matangi is a staunch advocate. Her arguments are clear-cut and her dedication to the value of life is unwavering. Saturday's energy illustrates this aspect of Matangi's personality. For most of us, the stand we take will be of an inner and mental nature. We learn something about where lines need to be drawn with our beliefs about things and our beliefs about ourselves.

Venus' close approach to Pluto for conjunction is emphasizing all of this to a great degree. Venus and Pluto also bring up obsessions. Matangi can definitely become obsessed. When she sets her sights on something, she will get it. It will happen. So be careful what you wish for because the Venus-Pluto astrological conjunction muddies the energy with needless drama. The best counter to the drama is to use Matangi's energy to just do the right thing or be stand-up about something. She will use any opportunity to demonstrate what is in line with the will of life and the will of the goddess Sophia. Just be aware of the potential for the dramatic.

The massive sunspot has increased its activity and is turning toward Earth. This is the first sunspot in quite a while to show this level of energy. The Sun has been quiet because it changed properties. It's a new Sun, so to speak, and any major eruption will be the first of the new Sun. It's a big deal. The Sun will be playing right alongside Matangi's themes, supporting her creation of reality.

Note about the Mahavidya Project: We're working to make it available for everyone, not just the Facebook community. Check back Sunday where I will post the name of the website dedicated to that effort and link to it from here.

Today silence is being broken and things are coming to light. If you listened to my New Year's audio (posted in the Audio tab above), you heard me mention the deafening silence regarding Comet ISON (c/2012 S1). Today NOAA and NASA report on spaceweather.com that the comet could put on an unforgettable display this fall. Also in that audio commentary, I discussed the Mahavidyas, Divine Emissaries of Sophia (and by the way, most of what you can read on the internet about them is distorted). The Mahavidyas have broken their silence, so to speak, and have a project for anyone who is interested. I will be recording a new audio report with Oracle Report Facebook administrator Andrew later today to detail it. I am quite excited about it.

It's the last day of the Balsamic Moon phase and the energy prompts us to surrender and release. There is something we just need to gracefully give up on. There is a lot of truth in the term "sweet surrender." The relief it brings can be almost indescribable. It feels like a rescue boat. It lightens things overall. It is quite a gift. Light takes over and we will come to an overall lightness of being throughout the next lunar month, which begins tomorrow.

What could be better than that?

Wednesday, January 9, 2013

Venus has moved into Capricorn, joining Pluto, Mercury, and the Sun, and adding more energy to themes of power and control that are associated with Capricorn. But the main aspect that will intensify control issues today is the Sun making a square to Eris, which stationed direct yesterday. Eris is refreshed. The Eris energy abhors anything related to control, so we have strong conflicting energies at work. It's a push-pull, tug-of-war kind of day. So, knowing that is the set-up, we can avoid becoming entangled in situations where this arises. However, it will be enlightening to watch where this plays out. It may play out closer to home - with the war being an internal one. If you find yourself wrestling with any personal demons (your shadow side), take heart because this is happening at a prime time to do something about it. We're in the first Balsamic Moon phase since the Sun changed its properties on December 21st. It's a special, unique opportunity. What do you want to release today? Is it something about yourself - a feeling, mindset, judgment, disappointment, or fear? Picture it turning into a vapor and project it out from your body in a stream toward the Sun. Tzolkin (the Sun) will gladly take care of it for you. It will burn it up and transform the energy. Then Tzolkin will send the energy back to you (purified) at the New Moon. There are gigantic sunspots on the Sun right now but they are relatively quiet. We'll be watching though, because if the Sun powers up at the New Moon, the electric universe is going to rock. For today, do some releasing. This particular Sun-Eris aspect can blow the lid off of anything. Let's work with it instead of it working us.

Tuesday, January 8, 2013

Today begins the Balsamic Moon phase, the time of the month when the veils between the worlds are thinnest. It's a magical time, a time of release of what has burdened or not worked out for us over the month, and a time for preparing the ground for a new beginning. "Inspiration" continues to quietly whisper to us today, but in order to hear it, our minds must be quieter than they have been. In order to quiet the mind right now, it will help to let go of the focus being on yourself and put the focus on others. The way this will work best is to do this from your inner self. This means that our locus of control still radiates from the inside, but we target our attention on others. You never want to leave your center; you always want to keep your attention located inside yourself but today we are going to aim it outward so that it can connect with others of like mind. You may not be around anyone you would consider of like mind, but the connection is there based on the frequency with which you resonate. You belong to a specific band of frequency! Today the band of wise owls comes together in service of others. We will perform random acts of kindness, help those in need, teach what we know, and foster those who are younger. It's not about us today; it's about mixing colors with others. The goddess energy is strong today and is speaking to us from a high level. It's a quiet voice that is heard when we quiet ourselves down.

Monday, January 7, 2013

We need to make sure we aren't taking on too much today. It will be easy to become lumbered by responsibilities and get dragged down, especially if we are trying to do things with which we have little to no experience. Most days it is good to stretch ourselves beyond what we believe to be our capabilities, but today is not one of them. This also means trying to do too much too quickly. The key is to find balance between taking care of responsibilities, rest, and creativity (fun). If you start feeling weighed down, you want to immediately stop what you are doing and regroup. The best way to do this, as always, is to connect with nature. Some have said they have a hard time doing this because of the cold weather where they are. You can do this indoors, although it doesn't work as well. Looking out the window at birds, trees, or snow and connecting through your heart is always healing. A small, portable outdoor heater is worth its weight in gold, actually because nothing is as curative as being outside and breathing fresh air. There are, in fact, energies in place today that bring inspiration (even resucitation if you have been going under). Inspiration means breathing in spirit. Pay attention to your breathing. Slow down and go inside your tree as a wise owl knows to do. We are also practicing a new skill - walking around encompassed by a shaft, portal, or pillar of light that enables us to move around the swirling energies that can be so draining. Today is a good day for wise owls to practice all of their skills to stay in service to Sophia's vision and not get pulled off track. We're closing out this lunar month today (it's the last day of the Third Quarter Moon phase) so it is the last day to rectify anything that happened this month before we release it during the Balsamic phase. Remember - it's a day for inspiration, but that can only happen if we are in the mindset to receive.

Friday, January 4 - Sunday, January 6, 2013

Mercury is still causing quite a stir, moving off of its square to Uranus and moving on to making a conjunction with Pluto through the weekend. To some degree, Mercury affects our thinking. When it contacts Pluto, our thoughts can go very deep because Pluto rules The Underworld. In addition to being deep, The Underworld is also dark. Over the last several days, the trend has been to beat up on ourselves or "go dark" as in pulling down a curtain. The Third Quarter Moon phase enters this weekend to affect all of that. In fact, it is here for us to analyze where we are now as "immigrants in a new country" as the Sabian symbol of the New Moon envisioned.

Over this weekend, while our thinking is already deep with Mercury conjunct Pluto, think back to all that has happened since December 13th. Be analytical. What happened this month? Was it like the New Moon report discussed - a massive paradigm shift? If the light changed on December 21, 2012 - if the Sun changed - wouldn't we need time to adjust?

This is happening specifically with our brains and our eyes, which are an extension of our brains; they are symbiotic. We process light through our eyes and our brains read the information contained on the light. We now have different light, which means a different code. We are going to know (understand) more and are going to see (realize) more now. We're talking about nothing less than an evolutionary leap that's underway. That's quite a statement to make. But the Sun and Gaia-Sophia orchestrated, in perfect timing, a responsive action to the state of the world, the collective, the grand visionary experiment. This is how the power and control mechanisms (archontic systems) that have been in place are going to begin crumbling. This also makes them desperate. Their own countermeasure is to begin instilling as much fear, sadness, hopelessness, and depression as possible into the mass consciousness. We are tricked if we think they are not losing their power. Gaia-Sophia has begun to deal with this situation and part of that plan involves changing humanity to suit her needs. This is, indeed, a joyous fact. Analyze this: what would it take for you to see that December 21st truly was a celebration? At the Balsamic Moon phase, we'll be releasing whatever stands in the way of that.

Thursday, January 3, 2013

Mercury makes a square to Uranus today and this means we want to take care with what we say to others. Things come out of our mouths before thinking. Knee-jerk responses are common. Usually this aspect brings out things that are just under the surface, waiting to be heard. Some people will take this to the extreme and use intimidation. We have the added influence of still being in the Disseminating Moon phase - the time of the lunar month when we are directed to share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas with others. Unexpected news or disclosures are possible. Communication is the highlight today, but everything needs to be softened up and nurtured. This energy has harsh effects. We can moderate this with simplicity and getting back to basics. Show you care or show your affection if faced with a harsh circumstance.

There is a second element at work today and it involves our level of happiness, more specifically it involves attempts to self-sabotage our happiness. Our happiness with ourselves and our happiness with relationships are the focus. It will be very easy to shoot one of our own arrows at ourselves today and screw up. This is the energy that will be pushed. We are forewarned, therefore we are disarmed. Don't take aim at yourself. By virtue of being alive and on the planet, you deserve happiness. Happiness is a state of being, it isn't what one has or does. It comes from the simple things in life. It is having love for yourself as a creation of Sophia and radiating that feeling out around you. Sometimes happiness is active and sometimes it is calm. Sometimes it blazes like a wildfire and sometimes it's the glowing ember. Today is more of the glowing ember. That ember is your feeling of being home. Remember - we "glow home." Let's burn slowly today.

Wednesday, January 2, 2013

Today's energy concerns what lasts. We are looking at what's stable, consistent, and reliable. In a changeable world, these things are hard to find. We tend to look outside of ourselves. But we have an anchor and we always have. Our firmly grounded connection with the planet keeps us tethered when we feel like we are flying off. And when we are firmly grounded, we are free to explore, safe in the knowledge that we are supported and always will return home. We are still in the window of time that I've called the "activation point." Not only are we activating deep levels of our being in service to the great vision the planet has for humanity, but things around us are activating as well. Change feels uncomfortable much of the time. But these changes are broad and sweeping, and in turn we are sensitive to the instability, alienation, loneliness, and anxierty that they bring. In the midst of this, we need to remain open to options because opportunties lie within the changes. Remember that this month we are like immigrants in a new country. The energy seems foreign to us. However, even though things have definitely changed, one things remains - the guardianship of Sophia. Most beings in the cosmos are not fortunate enough to be traveling through space with their creator (creatrix). The way to handle the world now is to continually reinforce our inner connection with the planet. When things get tough, we have to take a mental time out, take a breath, and visualize being rooted. In the new year's audio report I discussed fortifying our personal energetic fields by visualizing a portal or pillar of light surrounding us. This will help ameliorate some of the feelings of the foreign energy. There's a lot in this report, so you may want to re-read it at some point today or tonight.

Tuesday, January 1, 2013

There is beautiful energy in place for harnessing personal power and beginning anew. It's not a natural time for a new beginning (that would be with New Moons) but there is much to work with if you want to start something. Disseminating Moon phase is the time for sharing. What we share with each other builds our awareness and provides information we need on our personal journeys.

Be aware that there is an element today where things are not as they appear (including some people). This is not a good day to sign anything important or to commit to something you aren't one hundred percent sure about. There's too much potential for deception.

2012

Monday, December 31, 2012

We're still in the Full Moon phase and wisdom is streaming all around us. What needs to come into balance for you? The Sun, which has been very quiet for some time, made the conjunction with Pluto this weekend and brought out heavy-duty emotional purging. Things came up from the deep! The energy will calm down as the Sun progressively moves off Pluto. The theme of "home" and what home means to us is strong today. Fears about home (keeping a home, maintaining a home, etc) are also present. We are naturally focused on our immediate physical circumstances, but there is something greater involved here. In truth, we are all home because the planet, Gaia-Sophia, is our home. I talk about this all the time, but we are engaged in a process of remembering and integrating the true story of our origins and we need to be reminded (a lot) that we are fully supported at all times. We're "glowing home" - radiating the frequency that is in resonance with the planet and her vision. If you are struggling with issues at home or with home, shift your perspective downward - toward the planet.

I will be recording a New Year's message later today so be on the lookout for that.

Friday, December 28, 2012

The Moon is shining particularly bright this phase, so make sure you go outside and catch a glimpse if skies are clear where you are. This photo was taken Christmas night from Brazil and posted on spaceweather today. It shows the conjunction of Jupiter and the Moon. Over the Full Moon phase, we are going to leap forward in some way with our personal development. Wisdom will be gained. You will want to pay close attention to what you hear and what you see. Signs and synchronicities are going to aid this process. There really is only one goal in our personal development: to align ourselves with the planet Sophia and to fully express our individuality in service of her creative vision. The leap will come within this context.

As I mentioned yesterday, despite this being a wonderful time in the history of humanity, forces that stand opposed to humanity are in high gear. They are bombarding us with all sorts of things. It is causing many, many people to get sick and stay sick for a much longer time than usual. Some are beyond depressed. Some are so exhausted they want to sleep all the time and others can't sleep at all. Listen to your body and rest if you are tired. If you can't sleep, use the time toward something that you've been wanting to do. If you are sick (but able), go outside briefly and ask Sophia to assist in your healing. Talk directly to her. And by all means, use the "skill" we've been practicing of shooting mental arrows at thoughtforms or situations that do not serve you or serve light. Fight back. This energetic bombardment is likely to last for a while. But asvwe adjust to it, we will learn to deftly move around it.

The energy will be intense over the next three days with the Sun making a conjunction with Pluto. This conjunction happens once a year and it can be heavy, but it is also rewarding. The insight/wisdom we gain for the leap in development will be profound due to this conjunction.

Let's all bathe in the light of the Moon and prepare to make a leap.

(Note: I will be taking a break from the report this weekend, but will return on Monday, December 31st.)

Thursday, December 27, 2012

Let's re-group by reviewing what's been happening this lunar month - the time since the New Moon. Here's an excerpt from the report written on the first day of the New Moon - December 13:

Fresh energy arrives today with the New Moon in Sagittarius. It's a brand new cycle - one that is going to find us streaking across the sky just like the Geminid meteor shower that is currently underway. This photo was taken last night by R. Shawley in Pennsylvania and posted on spaceweather.com. These are heavenly fireworks and we will start to make some fireworks of our own this month. Using the traditional location of Earth, the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon occurred today at 21 degrees 45 minutes of Sagittarius, and in astrology we "round up" to 22 Sagittarius. But something is off here. The Earth is not located where she was. You may have seen the evidence over the last few years that the poles have shifted a bit - at least 15 minutes in my estimation. This New Moon is actually at 23 Sagittarius. The Sabian symbol for 23 Sagittarius is immigrants entering a new country. This is exactly what is happening. We are entering into a brand new world this month. Last month's mental journey of the vision quest activated something in us that now puts us in new territory. Energetically, it is a massive paradigm shift because the boundaries of the mind - the controls that have been in place - are coming off, leaving us not only free to express ourselves to our fullest potential but simultaneously activating co-consciousness with the planet for the collective of humanity. In other words, the hundredth monkey effect goes into effect this month (or, in yesterday's Oracle Report terms, the 1,000th owl effect). Picture a blue planet suddenly lit up along grid lines as if plugged in to an electrical source and you'll get the idea. Does this mean that every being on the planet will become enlightened? Yes, to some degree, by virtue of being part of the collective. Does this mean that every being on the planet will miraculously act enlightened? No, because being suddenly drawn into light is blinding. Being blinded by the light causes a sort of insanity until eyes adjust. But the thing that has changed is that we are now going to be able to move around the swirl of chaos like never before. The "matrix" simply isn't going to have the power over us that it did.

The divine goddess embodied as the planet is awake and her name is Sophia. All those who need to be awake are awake and ready to take Sophia's grand experiment for humanity where she intended it to go. Everyone's on stage now. Now we take our roles. We are going to express the fullest potential of our individual radiant codes. If you are a musician, play music. If you are an artist, create art. If you are a communicator, communicate your thoughts. If you are a healer, heal whomever crosses your path. If you are a mother, mother all those who come to you. If you are a protector, protect those who need it. In our totality, we are many things combined. Now is the time we engage life - with presience. It's time to fall back in love with life and start living our lives with great abandon, wild colors, and bold brushstrokes - and it all starts today.

So we are approaching the Full Moon phase, which brings us full light to see things more clearly. This includes things in our personal lives and things that are happening to the human collective. Be patient. Wisdom is on its way. Look at the pattern that is progressing.

I'd like to make a note about the 1,000th owl, since it was mentioned in the New Moon report back on December 13th. Sometime in later October or early November, if I correctly recollect, Andrew, who started and administers the Oracle Report Facebook community, emailed me saying he was putting out an intent to have 1,000 members by the big date: 12-21-12. Now, there are other communities with many more members, so this doesn't seem like such a big deal. There are about 8,000 wise owls out there who return to this site daily. So, most are not members of this community's Facebook page. Even so, when Andrew set the intention, I fully supported it but I thought it was a short amount of time. I have learned to never doubt Andrew with anything. He's a shamanic wizard. And when the 1,000th person did join, the message was clear: the most unsuspecting people will come to Sophia's vision. Sophia was grinning like a cat. You see, we're supposed to lighten up a bit. Life's a playground now, remember? The Archons are pulling out the stops, no doubt about it. It's on. But of course they would pull out all the stops at the exact time when their power was about to be over. When else would you do that? You launch everything you've got when you know you're about to lose. Their power is beginning to wane because their tricks are patently clear. But the tricks are only clearer because Sophia has chosen this time to awaken and engage the mass. The "1,000th owl effect" is real but it isn't the only thing in effect. It's happening with groups of people all over the world in various ways. So this is why we need to lighten up and enjoy life (fall back in love with it) as much as we can. Reason enough?

Wednesday, December 26, 2012

It's a bit of a heavy day out there today. Venus remains in close opposition with Jupiter and the Black Moon, and Saturn is in exact sextile with Pluto. The energy is pressing and oppressive. When things are pressed to the forefront, they happen to bring about resolution. Emotions are running deep and some are struggling against an onslaught. It may seem worse because of the talk about December 21, 2012 and all that it brings because it is in stark contrast to the way some are feeling. The holidays also force a lot of expectations, which in turn can lead to disappointment and depression. All of these things make for quite a concoction of energy. But let's keep this real. Even though we know that Sophia is awake and engaging with anyone who cares to engage with her, each of us is at a different level with this (primarily due to the length of time we've been working with her). The degree to which the "real world" affects us is proportional to the degree to which we are in communion with her. When we are aligned with the divine being, our perspective about what is truly real and what is truly important shifts. If you are having difficulties, the answer is always to go outside into nature and then go inside yourself to connect with her from the core of who you are. This will automatically settle you. Ask to see things a different way. Then wait and see. There is beauty all around us and from there we can always change our perspective.

The big story today is Venus moving into opposition with the Black Moon (the Moon will hit that point again, re-triggering it, around 01:00 am EDT/ 6:00 am UTC on December 26th, keeping the theme extended). So today something related to relationships happens and continues into the day after Christmas. This will bring clarity and an associated feeling of peace or calm - if only momentarily. Venus and the Black Moon are sisters. They know each other well and they get along well. Venus is the only energy that quiets the tumult of the Black Moon, but sometimes they come with drama. The other effect of Venus and the Black Moon comes from clearly seeing the the cold truth of matters. We are observing this today- not necessarily acting on it. Don't feel pressured to make any big moves or decisions. This day will go much better if you put yourself in the mindspace of flowing with events instead of dreading or directing them, depending on the circumstances you are in.

Remember our mission is falling back in love with life. We are in control of that. Venus and the Black Moon bring beauty in the form of beautiful things to look at, beautiful acts, and beautiful words. It's a prized time for us to find beauty because it is all around if we look.

Saturday, December 22 - Sunday, December 23, 2012

On Saturday, Venus makes the opposition to Jupiter at the degree known as a quiver filled with arrows. We have been following a theme this month where we are using a bow and arrows to shatter anything that presents an obstacle, barrier, or limitation (fears, mindsets, expectations, etc.) and the energy may require us to rely on or utilize that skill. This may be harder to do today since we are experiencing what I can only describe as an "energetic hangover" that has left us a little dazed and confused. So we need to tread a bit lightly today and keep the peace as people continue to be careless and aggressive.

There are many things that indicate Sunday's energy will be all about messages and symbolism. It is the day to use the skill of being the "wise old owl" by going inside the tree (our inner selves) in quiet contemplation while observing what is happening outside. The immediate physical circumstances we find ourselves in today are not permanent, so we don't need to stress about them. The Earth, the ground of the Earth, and the grounding on Earth are strong today. Sophia is communicating with emphasis and force. Meanwhile, we're continuing to keep it real while tricks, fakery, and superficiality abound.

There isn't much else I can say about today that I didn't say in the audio recording I made last night (posted above). Many thanks to Andrew for getting this uploaded. I need to apologize in advance, however, as this was the second time I recorded it and it came at the end of a long day and what has been a very long work week for me. I work with violent crime victims and the last two weeks have broken records. So if I ever record again, I will do so when my energy level is higher. Hopefully it is not too painful to listen to this one. But the information is there and that's what matters! Enjoy the day and celebrate life. We will be having a party while most of the world goes mad.

Thursday, December 20, 2012

What will you do on the eve of a great party? While the mass mind of the collective is pre-occupied with death fantasies and apocalyptic scenarios (even if just entertaining the notions in one’s mind), we know that tomorrow is a day for celebrating the real story – that the planet is fully awake and interacting directly with us as we play our lives. It was her vision that we would engage with her on an individual and then on a mass level. In the audio I recorded, I talked about how it’s more accurate to say that we are playing on a playground with Sophia instead of saying we are playing on a stage with her. She’s on the cosmic playground asking us if we want to play and sometimes we ask her if she wants to play. December 21, 2012 is the marking point where the obstacles, barriers, and negative forces have no rule over us any longer. It is the day that we recognize them for what they are and affirm that they have no power over us. It is the day we reclaim our sovereignty as free beings engaged in co-creation with our Source – the goddess Sophia. It is an opportunity for a great party to celebrate being alive and to celebrate falling back in love with life. Anything that takes you to the idea that tomorrow is an end-game scenario is misleading you. Negative forces are pushing strong fear right now. People will be acting from their shadow sides. Be aware of this potential and don’t engage in situations where people are projecting their own fears onto you. Ignore it and walk away. There’s no reason to take that on because it only distracts you from what’s really happening. We are grounding ourselves with the planet, noticing the natural beauty that is all around us, and finding the inner ember of joy that makes us “glow home” because we are falling back in love with life. While everyone is peering out into the heavens, we are firmly rooted on Earth. In our minds, let’s choose beauty over ugliness, life over death.

Will the 1,000^th owl show up on Facebook to join us for the great party? We’ll see…

(Note: The audio file I recorded last night is not uploading well. I will work on rectifying this today, so check back later to see if it's up.)

Tuesday, December 18, 2012

There's so much fear, grief, and confusion in the collective that it is hard for us to see our way clear. But today we are going to build a bridge over the emotions to do just that. Remember at the New Moon I talked about how we were going to have the power to move around obstacles like never before? The current energy favors building a mental bridge over and above the grief and fear being pushed on us. So if you are struggling emotionally, envision a bridge opening up to guide you away from the pain and confusion. Or better yet, walk over the bridge with your bow shooting arrows at whatever is plaguing you. We are being challenged right now. Actually, it's more accurate to say that our psyches are under attack. Are you feeling the same hopelessness, anger, and depression that you did after 9/11? The planet's kundalini was on the rise and ours was in turn, so something had to be done to block that. I will go into detail about Sandy Hook as well as the 2012 issue in an audio talk I will post later this week. If you have a question you'd like me to address, post it on Andrew's Facebook community or send an email to me at laura@oraclereport.com (or use the form on the Contact page here). I will answer as many questions as I can. The audio will be posted on Thursday. For today, let's keep it real and get back to doing what wise owls do. We find beauty in the world around us, we connect with the planet, we radiate high frequencies that ripple out into the collective. Remember also that this month we are like immigrants in a new country, getting the feel for things as we enter a brand new world. Be patient and kind with yourself and others. Re-connect with light and love. Stay grounded with what's important in life and bridge over anything that isn't. Keep it real.

From our perspective here on Earth, the Sun appears to conjunct or align with the Galactic Center today at 26 Sagittarius 22. The Sabian symbol for this degree is the scultptor's vision taking form. Of course, the real question is what do you think the Glactic Center is? Friend or foe? But perhaps the even-better question is what do you think the Earth is? Everyone is peering out "there" in space, but what if the real party was right here on Earth? Would there be less fear going on in the collective? I think so because the answer to all questions of this sort is grounding down with the Earth. Keeping your feet on the ground feels a lot better. Keeping it real by connecting with what's really important - not some image of what most people think is important - is much more merry and bright. Fears are being heavily triggered right now, but there is no need for it. We can choose to fall back in love with life (and with living!) or choose to think about the end of life (death) but how about a little of both? How about the death of things that involve power and control combined with a love of things that involve beauty and freedom? The Sabian symbol is the sculptor's vision taking form. What do you envision?

Saturday, December 15 - Sunday, December 16, 2012

On Friday we had the bluebird of happiness at our front door and this weekend Cupid is knocking. The energy asks us to open our hearts and go beyond barriers that may in place around it. The Sun and the asteroid Cupido were conjunct at the New Moon, so Cupid's Arrow of Love combined with Sagittarius' Archer and his Arrow for Aiming Home makes for a wonderful combination. It's the perfect confluence to fall back in love with life. Along that line, today's energy also asks us to let our inner child out to play. The energy is a playful, loving, happy time that is even a bit mischievious. A little bit of the Prankster is present while Venus leaves the sign of Scorpio. All of this happy energy is at odds with Saturn and Pluto in sextile, which is bringing a push-pull of control and power issues. There are lingering parts that are trying to control things. The interesting thing now is that this does not have to hold any power over us. If it doesn't meet our standards of falling back in love with life, we brush it aside indifferently because it holds no significance. We are taking up arms as spiritual warriors and practicing lifting our bow and shooting our arrow at anything that stands opposed to the fullest expression of who we are individually and as a collective. So we need to practice this visualization by pummeling feelings and mindsets that creep in to pull us off track by shooting them with our arrows. Remember, right now our feet are planted firmly on the ground and our minds are aiming home. Ground down and aim home. Monday will be especially interesting with the Sun moving into conjunction with the Galactic Center so stay tuned.

Friday, December 14, 2012

The Sabian symbol for the position of the Sun today is a bluebird standing at the door of a house. The bluebird is a sign of happiness, so the energy has happiness waiting for us to let it in. The theme for this new lunar month is falling back in love with life. It's a choice, just like it's a choice to open the door of the house to let happiness in. It requires conscious control of your mind. This month is the month of the New Moon in Sagittarius. Sagittarius is known as the Archer. The Archer holds a bow and arrow which is aimed at the Galactic Center. We are Archers this month, aiming ourselves toward our home in the Galactic Center. But it's our second home because our first home is our mother planet and she is Gaia-Sophia - the divine being who is currently embodied as a planet. Our mother comes from the Galactic Center and, since she is a scientist-creator, she engineered us from that place. This is what the Gnostics (those of the ancient mystery schools) left us in their writings. (If you are new to this site, you will want to read John Lash's translation of the Gnostic texts linked on the "Backstories" tab.)

As Archers, we are doing two things. We have our feet planted firmly on the ground while we are aiming high. We are connecting with our happiness and aiming that out into the world. This involves integrating whatever self-knowledge we gained last month, letting it settle inside us like a glowing ember. This ember will develop into a blazing fire through February and it will be a home-fire that sustains us as the world goes even more insane. We will be "glowing home." The time for letting things limit, dominate, disrupt, and distance us from a real expression and love of life is over. It was all burned up last month (remember descending like the phoenix?). Nothing has power over us. This is what Sophia wants us to see now. When a feeling that disrupts you enters (after a personal interaction, after being in archontic-dominant energy, after a rejection...), aim your arrow at that feeling and shoot it. Let your arrow fly. Shatter the feeling into oblivion. You are a warrior of the heart and mind and nothing needs to stand in the way of the fullest expression of who you really are. Your personal energetic codes are radiant and nothing needs to dampen that. We are falling back in love with life and falling back in love with ourselves because we are the creation of the wisdom goddess and we do her justice.

Thursday, December 13, 2012 - New Moon in Sagittarius

Fresh energy arrives today with the New Moon in Sagittarius. It's a brand new cycle - one that is going to find us streaking across the sky just like the Geminid meteor shower that is currently underway. This photo was taken last night by R. Shawley in Pennsylvania and posted on spaceweather.com. These are heavenly fireworks and we will start to make some fireworks of our own this month. Using the traditional location of Earth, the exact conjunction of the Sun and Moon occurred today at 21 degrees 45 minutes of Sagittarius, and in astrology we "round up" to 22 Sagittarius. But something is off here. The Earth is not located where she was. You may have seen the evidence over the last few years that the poles have shifted a bit - at least 15 minutes in my estimation. This New Moon is actually at 23 Sagittarius. The Sabian symbol for 23 Sagittarius is immigrants entering a new country. This is exactly what is happening. We are entering into a brand new world this month. Last month's mental journey of the vision quest activated something in us that now puts us in new territory. Energetically, it is a massive paradigm shift because the boundaries of the mind - the controls that have been in place - are coming off, leaving us not only free to express ourselves to our fullest potential but simultaneously activating co-consciousness with the planet for the collective of humanity. In other words, the hundredth monkey effect goes into effect this month (or, in yesterday's Oracle Report terms, the 1,000th owl effect). Picture a blue planet suddenly lit up along grid lines as if plugged in to an electrical source and you'll get the idea. Does this mean that every being on the planet will become enlightened? Yes, to some degree, by virtue of being part of the collective. Does this mean that every being on the planet will miraculously act enlightened? No, because being suddenly drawn into light is blinding. Being blinded by the light causes a sort of insanity until eyes adjust. But the thing that has changed is that we are now going to be able to move around the swirl of chaos like never before. The "matrix" simply isn't going to have the power over us that it did.

Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Today is 12-12-12 and although Gregorian dates have little to no spiritual value, they do carry power in the collective since it is our dominant measure of time. There are, however, astrological aspects in effect that make this a super-natural day to break boundaries and venture into new realms of possibiliities. Two big things that are happening today are Uranus stationing direct and Jupiter making exact conjunction with the Black Moon (the Moon will oppose this point at 9:24 am EST/ 2:24 pm UTC, so take extra caution around this time.) Remember also that Uranus stationing direct can bring abrupt changes and calamities, so we want to pay special attention while doing things like driving or things that involve electricity or fire.

In astrology, there are three bodies that defy boundaries and restriction: Jupiter, Uranus, and Eris (and by proxy for Eris, the Black Moon). So when these bodies combine in the starry sky to form angles (harmonic resonances), we have a unique day that goes out of bounds. People, places, and things will go out of bounds. This can be good and bad. Let's note the bad side that people will be operating from their shadow sides to an extreme degree (their personal fears showing out strongly), but let's note with emphasis the fabulous side that our minds are boundless! The astrological angles form a "gateway in consciousness," enabling us to explore a new landscape for our lives. It's a day to explore whatever you gained over the past lunar month's journey for self-knowledge and wisdom, taking those insights and glimmers into new arenas of potential. What did you discover or rediscover about yourself? Where can you take that wisdom now for expression in the world? Jump through the gates of your mind and don't limit yourself in any way today. There's no need to implement what you learn - just play around with it. Balsamic Moon phases are not the time to initiate; they are the time to empower through the use of the creative mind.

Even if we didn't have the astrolgical aspects in play today, it would still be a day where a gate of consciousness would open with 12-12-12 because the "matrix" we live in operates on numerical (mathematical) codes - codes the Illuminati established with the Gregorian calendar. I am not trying to be a buzzkill or dampen anyone's fun. Anyone who has been reading these reports for a while knows that they center on finding joy and beauty (which is fun) everyday. But we aren't blind. We are wise owls. We are awake. We know that the minions of the Archons (the Illuminati) play in devilish ways. Be aware.

Jump the gate of your mind and the limits you've placed on yourself. There are no limits today.

(Who will be the 1,000th person to join the Oracle Report community that Andrew established on Facebook? You are out there and you have something to share. We are waiting for you.)

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

Today is about pretending. We need to look through the surface of things before making any important moves or decisions today.People will tend to pretend to be something that they are not, pretending to be more than they are, pretending to be in control, and pretending to know more than they do. But this isn't necessarily all bad because sometimes emulation leads to actualization. Sometimes we have to project something before we can integrate it. The thing to be aware of here is that the potential for deception is higher today. Let's turn this energy around and come from the angle of using the power of make-believe - the power of imagination - to envision or create something new. Venus meets up with the North Node today, bringing alll kinds of beautiful people, places, and things to us. If there ever was a day to be in a magical land, today is it. Enjoy but don't be fooled!

Monday, December 10, 2012

Today's energy is about overcoming. Planning is the key to overcoming whatever gives us difficulty today. Figure out how you can plan around or plan ahead for things. We may feel like barriers are some way in place (particularly emotional barriers, but also financial barriers and physical barriers) or that we are disempowered, ineffective or neutralized. Responsibilities are weighing heavily on us and the stress that is imposed based on expectations for the holidays can be a burden. Again, action and planning are the keys to ovecoming this. And so is a re-evaluation of what is truly of value. The Archons are ultimately responsible for inserting the fake, materialistic aspect into Christmas. They bring the opposite to whatever is sane. In the natural world, this time of year is for going inside (oneself and one's sense of home - spiritual and physical) to nestle in and merge with creative power. It's about "powering down" with the Earth in quiet celebration of all that is beautiful; not "powering up" to complete a laundry list of responsibilities. This is hard to do in the modern world. But if we hold to the idea of nestling in as much as possible, it will help with feeling overwhelmed. "Get present" when you are out getting presents and "check out" when you are checking out. In other words, focus on the joy of expressing love through giving. Disregard and disable the irritation that comes along with it (like traffic and long lines). Use the time that you are waiting as a little gift of time to transform and go into your inner tree. Reframe the waiting as time for a break. As wise owls, we can outsmart the matrix and the way it is dragging us, staying true to what is really important.

Also, it's really important that we are clearing our minds of weeds and dead roots in preparation for the next New Moon. Balsamic phase is the time when the veil between the worlds is thinnest and when we are at our most intuitive and creative. It's a wasted opportunity to focus on getting as much done as possible because it's naturally a time to go with the flow. We just completed a month-long vision quest and this phase should be about resting. Let's go contrary to the mayhem. Let's power down and get some rest! A New Moon is on it's way soon enough.

Saturday, December 8 - Sunday, December 9, 2012

We stay on the last leg of this month-long journey to find wisdom through most of the weekend. The Balsamic Moon phase (which is neither part of the last lunar month and not exactly part of the next lunar month) enters around 10:45 pm EST/ 3:45 am UTC on Sunday.

There is strong protection in place on Saturday. If you have wanted to go out on a limb or do something that might make you feel vulnerable, the action is supported. So if something comes up to take you off your beaten path, it would be a good idea to follow it. We are still on the quest, so stay open. Very valuable self-knowledge can be gained.

Sunday is the last official day of the lunar month I've called the "Activation Point." Don't confuse this wonderful thing with the day's predominant energy which has us concerned with safety and security. I started out this month talking about how dark forces would use this month's energy to magically make war and we saw that happen. There's strong potential for this again Sunday due to the astrological influences that can be used to empower war strikes ( position of Sun, Moon re-entering Scorpio to retrigger what was seeded at the New Moon in Scorpio, and the Balsamic Moon Phase opposing the Chiron Point [3-4 Taurus] - the "wounding" part of Wounded Healer Chiron can be pushed). Sunday is the closing ceremony to their dark magical spell implanted back at the New Moon and they will use it to full advantage. Remember also that I talked about how things activated during this lunar month would last into February. Powerful stuff.

But it's just as powerful for us. At the New Moon something deep inside us was being activated - something that would enable us to change the story of the human collective. First off, we were fortified. We became stronger. Second, we found an element of ourselves that empowers us to express our uniqueness and in turn blaze light. We will be "lighting up the grid" like never before between now and February. As I mentioned yesterday, there's no pressure with this. It's happening on energetic levels whether you know it or not and it is time-released to develop. It's targeted to enable us to find, create, and merge with beauty.

So as we end this month's journey of the spiritual vision quest to gain wisdom, I invite you to join me in a little magic of our own. In the Northern Hemisphere it's the time of year to bring light in the darkness. The twinkling lights are my favorite part of the holiday season. They are everywhere. And this reminds us that light and beauty are everywhere, too. We can counter the dark spell by bringing back the childlike wonderment and enchantment that comes with gazing at twinkiling lights. We can reinforce the feeling of beauty and it won't be hard for wise owls to do. Just notice how pretty they are. Truly it's joy to the world.

Friday, December 7, 2012

Take a look at this video of a magnetic filament erupting from the Sun yesterday and the reason for yesterday's madness will be graphically understood:

http://www.spaceweather.com/images2012/06dec12/filament_anim.gif

The eruption was like two arms of the Sun opening out to deliver bounty. Anytime one of these magnetic filaments becomes unstable and erupts, events on Earth follow suit (because we live in an electric universe). Yesterday morning someone asked me the astrological reason for the intensity of the energy and I said that I could find none. Now we know it was because the Sun was ready to erupt. Everyone here should know that we are beyond the astrology now. It plays a factor, but there is much more happening. We are coming into closer communication with the planet (and therefore the universe) so we can feel what is happening before we have the scientific facts to show it. This alone is a great lesson.

The energy was unstable, but instability shifts the formation of things. Great wisdom was bestowed upon us based on the events that transpired in our lives yesterday. Most likely this was the culminating factor of this month's vision quest. Unless the Sun suddenly powers up again to work its magic, it's time to turn back and return home, so to speak. In this metaphor, all month long we've been on a journey to learn or discover something valuable. In the archetypal journey of the hero, the hero always returns to his home to share his gift with others.

Which leads me to something that is important to say. We aren't engaged in narcissistic immersion here. We are engaged in actualizing our potential in service of the grand experiment of humanity that the divine alchemist-scientist Sophia set in motion. Translation: we are becoming who we are meant to be. The way your soul expresses that is personal, no doubt, but the expression is based on service to others, not service to self. The grandest experiments come alive and start doing things on their own, interacting with other elements of the experiment in unique ways. This thrills the scientist to no end because it is interesting. It's unknown. It's fascinating to watch. It is the reason for creating the experiment in the first place.

So this month Sophia, the Sun, and the Galactic Center conspired to amp up the experiment and disseminate treasure for us - the activation of elements of our beings - elements that lay dormant or forgotten within the radiant codes of our personal energetic fields. We've been on a quest to determine what it is that we now need to express in some way in the world. What do you want to start dancing or playing around with? It doesn't have to be a giant expression (although it could be). It could be to just dance around while you are getting ready for work. Where might having that attitude lead you through your day? You see, things that start small and undertaken in simple joy have a way of building. I say this to take the pressure off. Pressure stifles expression. Artsits don't need pressure. You don't have to paint the next "Starry Night" (although you could). But something has welled up in you this month to not only bring you joy and express your soul's beauty, but also to bring light to the grid - the collective of humanity - and further the experiment.

What does it feel like to be in the bubble of a grand experiment? What do you want to bring out of yourself in order to fully participate? If you don't have the answer yet, you will as you walk home from this month's quest, letting it all sink in.

Thursday, December 6, 2012

The utmost patience will be required of all wise owls in order to navigate today's energy. Things are likely to take at least two tries to accomplish today (even the smallest things). This could drive us a little mad. If you remember back to the beginning of this lunar month, I discussed how it was going to be challenging - almost like the month of last summer's "turning point" but a little less traumatic. I think this has shown to be true. This month's energy has been very hard to handle. Two things have been happening: on othe macro level, harmful forces have been using magic to make war and mayhem, which trickles through the human collective; on the micro level, something very deep inside of us has been changing (shifting formation) in order to activate higher personal energetic frequencies. The inner shifting is uncomfortable. It makes us feel ungrounded, emotional, doubtful, unfocused, and undirected. The inner shifting has been like a vision quest - the spiritual journey that indigenous people take to gain personal wisdom. Literally they go out in the woods or wherever and walk, camp, meditate, watch.

But we don't fully gain the wisdom until the vision quest ends, and that doesn't happen until the last day of the current Third Quarter phase (the phase ends on Sunday and the Balsamic phase also begins on Sunday). In general, we are very skilled at sitting tight, creating a space, and waiting things out until the wisdom is revealed. In the meantime, we struggle.

I've never had a harder time writing the reports than I have this month. I know what is happening, but I couldn't fully explain it. This, combined with Mercury retrograde, the myriad of technical difficulties (including my internet mysterously going down - it's still down and the provider can't explain why) has left each of us on our own path to some degree. But that's the nature of vision quests. They must be undertaken alone.

Stay the course. This is leading to the activation of your highest and best self so give it time. When you have trouble handling things, stop, take a breath, and go outside! Let the trouble, anger, frustration, whatever drain out of you and flow into nature. Nature will handle it. In the midst of this chaotic swirl of energy, let's stay centered and find beauty. If you keep the mission of finding beauty today, you are well served.

Wednesday, December 5, 2012

There's a lot on the wind today! It's always important to pay attention to signs and synchronicities, but today we have triple the energy to receive information this way. Mercury (communications, messages, information) is conjunct the North Node (destiny, the future) and we are in the last day of the Disseminating Moon phase (sharing, information). Since we are on the last days of this month's vision quest, today should be fulfilling in this regard. The bird messengers will be particularly active.

Be aware that there is a tendency for people to blame others for things and to project their own feelings onto others today.

Since we are talking about sharing, if you haven't joined Andrew's Facebook Oracle Report community, you might want to think about it. Not only is it wonderful to share with other wise owls, but I will be engaging the community in a new way very soon. This month's vision quest has revealed to me that I need to begin audio communications. Because my day job is so demanding, I rarely have the luxury of time to respond to most of the emails I receive. This weighs heavily on me and really stresses me out! As much as I would love to be able to do the Oracle all day every day, my path is to walk in both the world of spirit and the world of the matrix. So the Facebook community will be able to send questions and Andrew will forward them for me to address in an audio format every so often. I'm borrowing a page from John Lash in this regard (if you follow his work on www.gaiaspora.org this reference makes sense). Look for this to begin during the next lunar phase (not time just yet).

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

Darkness continues to lift as something from the past returns to be brought into the light. Today's energy carries a revision of some element of the past that will be carried into the future. This could be a change of heart, a shift in attitude, the recovery of something that brought you joy, rewriting an old story of your life, or rediscovering something important on your vision quest this month. All in all this causes a shift in formation.

If the past comes back to you in a way that you don't like, before you turn away consider if there is a lesson there that will help you now. You may not want to look, but remember that this is happening today for a reason. As we descended like the phoenix during the last moon phase, we sloughed off anything that no longer serves our highest and best. So the energetic effects of anything from the past that we were carrying around were burned off. Now all we have to do is recognize this. If we continue to carry it is only because we are attached to it in some way in our minds. The energetic elements no longer exist. We carry it only if we somehow want to carry it. That means it's on you if you continue to keep it around. The Sun, Gaia-Sophia, and the other divine beings in the Galactic Center are totally transforming energy fields and it is a great gift. Holding on to lower energetic frequencies while higher spiritual frequencies are entering will only make us miserable. It sounds cliche to say leave it behind, but truly it is a matter of choosing to do so. This is a time of vibrant new beginnings, not a time for holding on to what is outworn.

We're continuing on our quest through the last day of the Third Quarter Moon phase and this means we hold anticipation for what we will find by then. It's still in progress, so don't give up if you feel like you aren't on track. You are. Trust the process.

Monday, December 3, 2012

The long night of the Full Moon/Black Moon phase has ended and now it is time for the phoenix (us) to begin its rise from the ashes. It certainly was quite an experience. With this, the energy lifts quite a bit today. Something is happening at the deepest level of our beings: an activation. A new element is emerging within. Our radiant codes (which comprise our energetic fields aka frequencies) are recombining. This beautiful process is happening so that we can not only come into closer communication and alignment with the planet, Gaia-Sophia, but also to make us stronger. During this Disseminating Moon phase we will begin to gain insight into ourselves and into our lives that helps us complete Sophia's vision - to express our full potential and uniqueness. Consider this: the divine being embodied as our planet was so enthralled with what we create that it pulled her out of her home in the Galactic Center. The very least we can do is honor this by playing our part and expressing the potential inherent in our individual radiant codes. You may not have any idea what this means for you personally, but that's ok because we are still shifting formation and pursuing our individual spiritual vision quest until the very last day of the Third Quarter Moon phase. Continue on with the journey today and facilitate the process by spending time outside. We need the power of nature to restore us from the heaviness of this month's energy which reached its apex at the Full Moon. During Disseminating Moon phases, the mission is to pay close attention to what we hear. This is the way spirit communicates during Disseminating. I heard the birds (phoenixes) singing today. What about you?

Today's Full Moon conjunct the Black Moon and Jupiter has a way of taking us down - far down - and this report is deep. But if you have read my book on the Black Moon, you know that the Black Moon is generally misunderstood as a "bad" thing. It's much more complex than that. The Black Moon encapsulates the fall AND rise of the mythical phoenix. It descends in fire and rises from its ashes. Today is the descent. The heaviness and "darkness" of the energy will be strongest today, but it will linger to some degree throughout the Full Moon phase. There is only one way to handle this energy: surrender to it and work WITH it. At this stage of our month-long journey (vision quest) we find ourselves at midnight, waiting for the Full Moon to enlighten the night and help us see our way. The Black Moon and Jupiter, as gatekeepers on the journey, halt us. They tell us there is more to gather before we move on. This is not comfortable and it is going to test the skills of spiritual warriors/wise owls. Instead of stepping back, going inside our tree and observing, this energy forces us to perch high on a bare branch and blanket ourselves in the night. I specifically choose the term "blanket" because it is human nature to feel less safe in the dark. It's a hold-over from our early development. But we are no longer in the early stages of development, and we must now begin to integrate the complexity of the concept of darkness. The first thing to understand is that everything is birthed from darkness - the cosmic well of creation. The second thing to understand is there is immense, untapped power there. It's untapped because we are afraid to go there. The third thing to understand is that darkness - nightime - is the time of dreaming. We are recreating our dream - the dream of our lives that is in alignment with the dreaming of Sophia. This Full Moon phase needs to be seen for what it is: a beautiful opportunity. We will do this by changing our minds from the floundering fall of the phoenix to a purposeful, graceful dive with full knowledge that we will rise to new heights. The only way to handle the energy of the Black Moon is to surrender to it. If you fight it, it will only turn that back on you. Emotions will be heavy and strong. People have been acting from their most primitive, ugliest sides. Mars conjunct Pluto combined with the energy of this Full Moon phase will bring out full lunacy. But we are going to weave a more complex, glistening dream (vision) from all of it.

Since I described today's energy yesterday in preparation, there isn't much more that I can say. I have re-posted the breakdown below. If things get to be too intense for you, the best thing to do is go outside and reinforce your connection with Gaia. It may help to remember that in the midst of all of this, our frequencies are being raised.

The Sun will oppose the Black Moon and Jupiter: Our shadow sides will be tempted to engage. This is one of the ways darker forces are trying to trick us out of our journey with Sophia. You'll know this is happening if you start to doubt yourself or feel down on yourself or feel like giving up on something. Knowing that the tendency is for our buttons to be pushed, we can opt out of that. The themes will be rejection/acceptance/approval. This energy will be strongest for those with the Black Moon in Gemini (see appendix of my book on the Black Moon on the Books tab if you don't know which sign your natal Black Moon is located in - the book is free) since the Black Moon is conjunct Jupiter in Gemini right now.
Mars will conjunct Pluto: People will react to this by being impulsive and agressive. It is very, very strong energy. It's the energy of rage, but it is also the energy of empowerment. Dark forces will use it to empower their dark magic, but we will use it to power our communication with the planet and our participation in her vision. It will be easier than normal to tune in and radiate harmony in the middle of this chaos, so that is what we will do. We will do our best to take care of others, be generous, and inspire light.
Venus will conjunct Saturn: Deep issues within interpersonal relationships are triggered. This will cause some people to want to run away or escape the situation. But wonderful things can be uncovered/discovered if we are willing to take a closer look. It means going way beneath the surface and it might feel scary to be so far down, but it will be worth it. Taking a risk or a plunge is supported with this.
The Moon will oppose the Activation Point of this month's New Moon/Total Solar Eclipse before it goes to a Full Moon/Eclipse on Wednesday. How this manifests for you depends on what you seeded/intended at the New Moon. We began the month of our spiritual vision quest at that time and now something is going to come to us to enlighten/awaken/empower that intention. We will be able to integrate some sort of personal insight. A synchronicity may reveal the additon of a new animal helper. It's important to maintain our attention to our surroundings.

Today the Sun is located at the degree of one of my favorite Sabian symbols: an old owl up in a tree. We certainly know how to handle today's energy! Even if the Sun weren't located at this degree, the mission today would be to be the wise owl up in a tree because the energy is building in intensity in advance of tomorrow. Since we know the mission for today, I will talk about tomorrow's energy now so that wise owls in earlier time zones will have foreknowledge and advance preparation. There is a lot going on tomorrow (but it will begin entering today):

The Sun will oppose the Black Moon and Jupiter: Our shadow sides will be tempted to engage. This is one of the ways darker forces are trying to trick us out of our journey with Sophia.

So today we are going to take it all in from inside our trees (our inner selves). We want to prepare ourselves for tomorrow's energy by meditating and grounding our connection with the planet. This is what keeps us anchored while others fly off.

(There was a question this weekend by the Facebook community about the Chiron Point. The Chiron Point is the degree where Chiron was located when it was first discovered: 3-4 Taurus. In essence, this is the "birthplace" of Chiron, so the degree embodies the themes of Chiron. Anytime a planet aspects 3-4 Taurus, teaching and healing will ensue. Additionally, anyone with a natal planet at this degree carries the ability to be like Chiron - to teach and to heal.)

Friday, November 23, 2012 - First Quarter Moon Phase - Moon in Aries

Today's energy tends to whip up emotions to the point where they spill out. If you find yourself caught up in this kind of situation, the thing to do is to dive under the surface of the matter and go to the heart of what is really going on because the true nature of the drama is much deeper than what is being expressed. Surfacey, superficial things irritate the situation, but they aren't the real cause of it. People's nerves will be plucky today and it won't take much for them to be set off. We are still watching the Sun's activity because the Earth is smack dab in the line of fire of any erupting flares/CMEs. I will post on Twitter if anything develops.

Saturday, November 24, 2012 - Gibbous Moon Phase - Moon in Aries

Something is brought to us on this month's vision quest. It will be illuminating and it will contribute to the bigger picture of our lives. It will also cause a shift of form, which could manifest in any number of ways. But overall it causes a shift in us. This energy is all about planning, strategy, and setting up for the future. Since Mercury is retrograde through Sunday night, forward action on anything that develops should be held off until it moves direct again. Venus is located in opposition to the Chiron point (3 - 4 Taurus) and Chiron always brings healing; this particular energy activates healing of the heart.

Sunday, November 25, 2012 - Gibbous Moon Phase - Moon in Aries/Taurus

If you recall, at the New Moon I mentioned that our imaginations would be stimulated during this month's quest. A return to childhood brings back something very useful today - something that assists us in expressing our uniqueness in the world. This is Sophia's dream for each of us. She created individual radiant codes (the makeup of our DNA and the ability to evolve those codes through the dissemination of light throughout life) so that we could be like her - creators. Today we need to mentally go back to our childhoods to rediscover something that was left behind, put off, undeveloped, or simply forgotten. Start with thinking about what you liked to do - what brought you joy. This is very, very important to do. If your childhood was painful, this may be a difficult task to undertake. If so, remember that we are in 2012 - not in that past year - and go through your visualization as if you were a visitor to that time. Be a witness if you don't want to actually go back into the emotions. But find what you need to rekindle in your life. Untapped power is there and we need it. Remember the key to this is to focus on joy and see where it leads you.

Thursday, November 22, 2012

NOAA reports the Sun is poised to eject M and possibly X-class flares today. These would be Earth-directed if released. So the "wisdom eruptions" that I mentioned yesterday continue, and in the process deliver what we need on this month's spiritual vision quest. This also relates to what I discussed at the New Moon/Activation Point about available energies that would amp up our personal energetic fields. X-flares are rare and always produce "x-treme" reverberations. They blast us with light, which greatly enhances the radiant code of anyone who is grounded and connected with the planet. Anyone who is not grounded and connected with the planet (meaning their awareness is plugged into the illusory and non-organic world of the "matrix" and subsequently in opposition to their own nature, i.e. insane) loses it. This, in combination with the beginning of astrolgical aspects that are coalescing for Tuesday, will bring some really dramatic reactions in people. Not pretty. The worst of the lunacy of Black Friday (which now starts a day ahead with the Archontic pushing of cultural materialism) has strong potential to be the ugliest ever. Go outside if the elements or people you are around are just too far out of alignment with you and damaging your inner calm.

Today, insight is gained from things that happened in the past. Remember that we are paying close attention to signs and synchronicities, and are always attentive to the animal kingdom. If you don't own a copy of Ted Andrews' book Animal Speak, it is probably the most important book on Earth and a must-have for anyone engaged in the spiritual quest with Sophia. The book details all the shamanic wisdom for pretty much every animal, bird, and insect. When you spot or have an encounter with one of these creatures, you can look it up in the book and gain immediate understanding of the personal significance. It also teaches us about our animal totems. And this month we are picking up a lot of animal helpers on our vison quest.

A few notes: First, bear with me until Mercury stations direct Sunday night. I am having the toughest time communicating what is happening this month and it is extremely frustrating. What's happening this month is really incredible and I haven't been able to do it justice. I know the idea of the spiritual vision quest has been nebulous. (I have Neptune on my Sun and the Sun has been on my Neptune - astrologers will get it.) With any luck, Monday I will break out and be able to get it down. Second, I'd like to give a special nod to wise owls/readers in Australia and New Zealand (and anyone else reading in the southern hemisphere). Thanks for excusing the northern-hemisphere focus of the daily photographs. Since I am steeped in Sophia and her expression as autumn where I am located, it is my focus. But you all are not forgotten and I will try to change up the pictures to represent it. Third, please join me in thanking Andrew, who started and maintains the Oracle Report community on Facebook - which has been one of the most beautiful things to develop from this work. I am so moved by his selflessness and generosity to do this, as well as the pure hearts of everyone in the group. As everyone knows, I am not on Facebook, but Andrew often sends me comments and questions from the group. The group is pure light and I've never seen anything quite like it. If you aren't on it, you would be amazed at how uplifting it is - my daily reports pale in comparison - so might want to check it out. I love all of the wise owls out there and want to thank you for participating in Sophia's vision.

The Sun will move out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius at 4:50 pm EST/ 9:50 pm UTC, but its exit is accompanied by solar "fireworks" - two M-class flares and coronal mass ejections en route (to arrive on Friday). There is strong potential for more solar flares today. But the fireworks are better understood as "wisdom eruptions" that are being ignited and sent to us from Spirit. The purpose of this is to aid/assist/answer/disseminate whatever you set as your intention (activated with the Activation Point) at the New Moon - our "vision quest" this month. This is going to continue through Sunday. Let's get a refresher on what's happening this month (from November 13th's post - the New Moon in Scorpio/Total Solar Eclipse/Activation Point):

"We are called to the month where we will shift formation - shift form. The New Moon opens the segment of time in Sophia's grand vision where we activate the spiritual quest. This quest is two-fold: we will be activating a new level of ourselves (one that is more expressive of our full talents, capabilities, and uniqueness as well as moving into a higher level of spiritual awareness) and we will be activating counterbalances to forces that stand opposed to the fulfillment of Sophia's vision, intending harm to humanity. Regarding the latter, we will do this by progressively amping up our light through the available energies, not by engaging these forces directly. We have no interest or business in that because Sophia is taking care of this. We do have the responsibility to help our brothers and sisters and we do this by radiating a field of high spiritual awareness and acting accordingly with love and kindness in our daily lives."

The Sun shifting formation into Sagittarius will produce a major change in the energy. It will lighten considerably. We all welcome this! With it, our personal energetic fields (frequency) will also shift. A higher level/version of ourselves is being activated. We are aligning more closely with who we really are and what our true power is. In yesterday's image of the waterfall that we came to, today Gaia/Sophia and the Sun have hopped into a canoe with us to cross the stream. They are delivering what we need/seek on our vision quest so pay close attention to signs and synchronicities. As I stated earlier, this is going to continue through Sunday.

Tuesday, November 20, 2012

We have two more days of the Sun in Scorpio - today and tomorrow. Venus is going to enter Scorpio, but the energy will not be as heavy as it has been with the Sun in Scorpio. So we need to hang in there for a couple more days. Today's energy takes this month's' vision quest to a waterfall. It's a cascade of emotions, but it is also a deluge from spirit. The thing to do with this is not try to cross things today. In other words, stay in place and just watch (surrender). When we stop or disengage from obstacles today, it will shift our perspective. We will start to see the beauty of what surrounds us (the landscape around the waterfall, i.e. our blessings) instead of trying to trudge ahead. Stopping in our tracks and maintaining an inner stance of stillness will enhance the journey of the vision quest. Tomorrow the waterfall will not be rushing down and we will be able to move with more ease. But forcing things or trying to contain them (especially emotions) will not work well. It's just too much to attempt under these influences. Wise old owls (or geese in this month's metaphor of geese flying in V-formation) will hang back.

Monday, November 19, 2012

Today's energy carries us into new mental territory. There is a nebulous quality that makes it hard for us to distinguish reality from illusion, so we will need some time to process this and see where it pans out. However, this aspect also gives us the ability to create something real from our imaginations. So the poweer of visualization is strong and can be utilized for co-creation. Something special is also happening today - prayers for assistance and guidance are being answered. Mars is approaching conjunction with Pluto (exact conjunction on November 28) and this is bringing feelings of disconnection, bombardment or being under attack. In many cases, actual attacks are occurring, not just the feeling of being under attack. It's pressing a lot of fear into the collective. It can be a difficult experience for sensitive people. If you are experiencing this, remember that prayers for assistance are being answered.

Saturday, November 17 - Sunday, November 18, 2012

Tzolkin, the Great Being we call the Sun, sent us a great gift Saturday, one that will provide tremendous guidance on our vision quest. From spaceweather.com:

"A truly gigantic explosion happened on the sun today. Magnetic fields snaking halfway across the sun's southern hemisphere erupted in tandem, producing a prominence so big, it doesn't fit inside this image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)."

This happened as the Sun, Mercury, and the North Node made an almost-to-the-minute conjunction. The equation goes like this: Sun (spiritual being and guide) + Mercury (deliverer of messages and information) + North Node (the one who shows the way, destiny) = good stuff for a vision quest. We live in an electromagnetic universe and when our Sun sends out a wave like this (precisely timed with Mercury and the North Node), the electromagnetic fields of all living beings are affected. This energy is going to bring something to you. Actually, it is more accurate to say that it will take you somewhere new - the "place" you seek. Of course I am speaking of the spiritual place, the mindset, the frequency of wisdom that we are questing after this month.

When a blast like this occurs, it reverberates. It affects personal electromagnetic fields. If you aren't aware or open to the upgrade, the feeling of your field being "agitated" can be disconcerting (I prefer to call it "upgrading"). When we are upgraded, we come into fuller, deeper, stronger resonance with Gaia-Sophia, the goddess embodied as our planet. But if you aren't connected or grounded with the planet, these upgrades bring you into the chasm of insanity. People act wild because the energy is too strong for personal electromagnetic fields that are not rooted in love for not just self, but for others and the planet. Disconnection from the planet is a disease that spreads when solar activity like this occurs. Using the metaphor I proposed at the New Moon - geese flying in the V-formation - we will steer clear of people, situations, and mindsets that lead us off the quest. We will re-affirm our desire for wisdom on our vision quest. Don't fly off and become scattered. Stay focused. This is hard to do under a Mercury retrograde like this, but the trick is to not try too hard. Don't force the focus; relax the focus. Vision quests are something that happens to us based on our asking for it. We really aren't in control of it, so trying to control it keeps it at bay. Resist struggling and open up to what Tzolkin delivered to us this weekend. Take in the beauty of nature. Sail (fly) into the mystic.

Friday, November 16, 2012

Today's energy goes very, very deep. The Moon in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) will conjunct Pluto (which rules Scorpio) and this will amplify the Saturn in Scorpio energy - which is all about going deeply into ourselves to bring back wisdom. We will need to take a careful look at things today. All of us would agree that this is one hell of a Mercury retrograde we are under. It's frustrating and I am struggling to fully express what's happening. I understand it, but I cannot relate it all. This is due primarily not to Mercury retrograde, but its part in the energy of the New Moon (the Activation Point). We are tempted to make rash decisions and act impulsively. We aren't thinking as clearly as we will by the time Mercury stations direct and the Full Moon phase enters. Peel away the emotions and also your logical mind. Neither are reliable today. Insight is what is needed and this is accomplished when we suspend emotion and thought and just observe. Insight (inner sight) is the outcome of communication with Sophia. It's what we gain when we tune in to the natural world and see/hear what she is saying to us. Step back, watch, and come back into balance. Insight is a vision quest. So quest on and stay watchful of what is being shown to you.

Note for astrologers: Sometimes I hold back on writing certain things, even when I know I shouldn't. Earlier this week, when outlining the story of this New Moon's energy (with the astrological aspects and Sabian symbols), I knew that the ruling powers in Israel would strike. This was evident by the position of Venus and the energy associated with that degree, but also because Venus and Eris were in opposition within a three degree orb. All astrologers out there should remember that anytime Venus is located at 21-22 Aries/Libra (the Eris point), the Illuminati will always use that energy to empower their actions. This needs to be known (brought into the light). The Eris/Isis/Lilith/Ereshkigal energy is an intense object of love for some groups of the Illuminati, and intense object of hate for others, and both for some. Regardless, they know the power of the feminine that is contained with it. All of this, in combination with the other war-like aspects of the New Moon chart, make it a perfect strike empowered with magic. It's their Activation Point, too.

Thursday, November 15, 2012

We are super-sensitive to what we hear today. Loudness will not be well-tolerated. People are inclined to have strong opinions or messages, even to the point of obsessive preaching. This is because the energy for communication is strong and people are hooking on to this in order to be heard and in order to put on a show. In fact, appearances are more likely to be deceiving today, so don't be fooled. It's the finer details that we want to pay attention to. Simple gestures are called for today. Show your appreciation for others and what they do. It will go a long way today. Today is also the last full day of the New Moon phase - the phase when we set/seed our intention for the month (in this case our vision quest for wisdom) and the activation of participation in Sophia's dreaming.

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

Can you maintain light while immersed in darkness? This is what total solar eclipses (like the one yesterday, photographed here by L. Jean-Marc and posted on spaceweather.com) and the month that follows them ask of us. Yesterday I faced a person who has intended the darkest, most destructive harm to me than any person in my entire life (and I've had a couple of these people in my years). I wasn't too caught off guard by this because anytime I write about the dark side's intentions with the energy, the dark side always finds me that day. But the degree of darkness will take me some time to process. How did I maintain light while faced with this shocker? I knew the potential for darkness to be activated - which is the reason I write about the "negative" polarity of the energy. Knowledge is power and we are wise old owls indeed!

We journey into the second day of the activation point/vision quest under the continued influences of an interplanetary shock wave (electromagnetic force) that brings transformative realizations that move our focus from our baser instincts toward more enhanced spiritual perception. It includes a process of coming to terms with ourselves and recognizing our unique talents (which makes up our individual design on Gaia/Sophia's canvas). Hidden or under-utilized talents are shown. The astrological aspects of yesterday's New Moon included the energy of raw sexual power - power that is being transmuted into spiritual awareness today.

Our focus has been on the sky and the blocking of the Sun, but today it is time to get back down to Earth and remind ourselves of the beauty and wonder of the natural world. (The V-formation of the Canadian geese land for a breather.) Remember that the childlike imagination is empowering this month's vision quest. What brought you joy as a child? Bring it back today.

Tuesday, November 13, 2012 - New Moon in Scorpio/Total Solar Eclipse/Activation Point

Today we are called to the month where we will shift formation - shift form. The New Moon opens the segment of time in Sophia's grand vision where we activate the spiritual quest. This quest is two-fold: we will be activating a new level of ourselves (one that is more expressive of our full talents, capabilities, and uniqueness as well as moving into a higher level of spiritual awareness) and we will be activating counterbalances to forces that stand opposed to the fulfillment of Sophia's vision and intend harm to humanity. Regarding the latter, we will do this by progressively amping up our light through the available energies, not by enggaing these forces directly. We have no interest or business in that because Sophia is taking care of this. We do have the responsibility to help our brothers and sisters and we do this by radiating a field of high spiritual awareness and acting accordingly with love and kindness in our daily lives.

Today we set off in the V-formation of birds in flight. In this formation, birds are never directly behind each other herefore no one's vision is obstructed and each is part of the whole. The V-formation is like an arrowhead pointing with one end open. We are that open end. This lunar month is magical and whatever is seeded during the New Moon phase will have tremendous force behind it to manifest. Spaceweather reports that an interplanetary shock wave hit yesterday, disturbing Earth's polar magnetic fields. This is nothing other than the Sun and the Earth (who are allies) sending the energy for the Activation Point.

This month the power of the imagination is unparalleled and it works well when we invoke our childhood imagination. Stories and legends are born with this energy. If you are stirred to write, you should follow through on the impulse. In fact, get a picture of a goose or a goose quill or a goose down blanket and you'll find it easier to write. Travel is also highlighted (including the inner travel of the vision quest). Marriages that take place over the next month receive a special blessing.

By nature, I prefer to not discuss the negative aspects of energy, but my role is to move beyond that preference and call the dark out into the light. Long-time readers know that I will call it as it is. So if you'd like to stay in the positive end of the energy, today's report ends here for you. If you want to delve deeper, read on.

The New Moon in Scorpio has the following elements (Sabian symbols in bold):

New Moon at 22 Scorpio ("hunters shooting wild ducks")
Earth at 22 Taurus ("white dove over troubled waters")
New Moon conjunct North Node at 27 Scorpio ("military band on the march")
Mars one degree from the Galactic Center, home of our Mother Ship/Home, Sophia ('an old bridge over a beautiful stream in constant use") opposing Vesta, the asteroid that rules the home-fire and related feelings ("children skating on ice")
Eris ("gateway to the garden of unfulfilled desires") opposing Venus ("a Jewish rabbi performing his duties") - this brings in the strong magical qualities, feminine energy in its highest and most balanced form but is also often used by Illuminati for occult purposes
New Moon trine Pallas Athena ("a materializing medium") - more magical feminine energy
Mercury retrograde at the first degree of Sagittarius, the last degree before it retrogrades back into Scorpio ("grand army of the republic around a campfire")

These images tell us a story. What patterns do you see? Birds, aggression/war.warrior/military motifs, water, and magic. I've emphasized the transformstive and visonary power of this New Moon/Activation Point, but the inverse spectrum indicates that darker forces will undertake activations of their own. Simply put, the dark side is going to close rank. This will unfold over several months but a new level is initiated this month. (We could also see more high strangeness with the weather/water and we could see a large earthquake/tsunami.) Scorpio New Moons are ruled by Pluto - Lord of the Underworld. With the Eris/Venus/Pallas Athena influences, we have the perfect storm of magical energies that can be manipulated for ill. I write about this for those who want to know. It tells us that ugliness will be rampant and it prepares us to not be emotionally manipulated by their tricks of magic. These forces are battling for control. We aren't engaged in the battle (Sophia is doing this) but we are in the line of fire. We don't want to be collateral damage. So the counter to this is our efforts to amp up our energetic fields and become the strongest light we can be.

Monday, November 12, 2012 - Overview of the Activation Point

I discussed the upcoming energy in this past weekend's report about the Activation Point. I also discussed how this Balsamic Moon Phase is enhancing our current co-communication with Sophia in preparation for this turn. We have today to continue along that line.

The Activation Point is more specifically the activation of a vision quest -the quest to enact not only Sophia's grand vision for humanity, but also our own personal vision. Remember that life on this planet is a co-operative endeavor with a divine being. Sophia's vision for humanity was for it to manifest its personal uniqueness while participating and assisting her in her return home - in real time. So our mission is two-fold and this particular part will last through February. This mission is to undertake our own vision quest and, by doing so, pave the way for others to do the same. Our efforts will carry along the collective of humanity (like the hundredth monkey effect). This will raise the collective vibration of humanity (strengthen the signal wave). Our personal vision quests are conjoined with the vision quest of Sophia because the expression of ourselves is her vision. So we will undertake the vision quest fully conscious of the fact that our quests are maintained by and connected with the planet herself.

So what do we need to do? 1) we need to understand that we set off on the vision quest tomorrow, with the New Moon in Scorpio and the accompanying total solar eclipse. 2) we need to hold clear intent of what we are doing - personally participating in Sophia's vision quest. 3) we need to know exactly where we want to go - the fullest expression of our individual selves in our grandest forms. 4) we need to know what we want to return with - wisdom and whatever else you need.

Vision quests are undertaken to gain all tyes of things - spirit guides, information, answers, awareness, etc. Today we will all need to give thought to what our personal quests will be about. The "activation" part of this is our committment to this quest for the month. It will work best if you hold to some sort of ritual. Anything will do - lighting a candle at sunset, making an altar, prayers at sunrise, or whatever works for you personally. Vision quests are personal, so only you know what will work for you. I will be fasting from sunrise to sunset until Thanksgiving. You don't need to go to that extreme and no sort of sacrifice WHATSOEVER is required. Sophia is not into sacrifice. Fasting enhances my intuitive abilities, so that's what I am taking on.

Most of the action of the activation point will transpire over the next lunar month (beginning tomorrow) and will be processed and integrated during the latter half of December, January, and February.

There's a lot more to say, but for today set up your quest. Give thought to numbers 1-4 above. Consider yourself one of the geese in this picture, about to take flight and formation with the others tomorrow. The energy of the collective will be intense because the Moon moves into Scorpio today, giving us an overdose of Scorpio/Pluto energy. We will need to work around this as we prepare to activate the quest tomorrow. (Note: if you had a unique sighting of Canadian geese/goose this past weekend, pay special attention to this report.) Additionally, two CMEs are converging and will reach us today, amping up whatever is present. For us, what is present is direct communication with the planet, so pay attention to what's happening around you.

If you have questions about this, the best way for me to answer them is to send them to Andrew on the Oracle Report Facebook community. Everyone knows I'm not on Facebook, but pop in and send posts through Andrew. I can't access my Oracle Report email at work and have yet to be able to synch it with my phone - which makes it almost impossible for me to respond to emails. But I can respond pretty quickly when Andrew emails me as his schedule permits. There isn't a lot of time to prepare for this per se, but we have been working on it for several days in our sleep state. Don't feel pressured. Feel the joy of being a part of something greater than yourself.

Saturday, November 10 - Sunday, November 11, 2012 - Preview of the Activation Point

We opened the past Libra lunar month with the Sabian symbol a chanticleer's voice heralds the rising Sun with exuberant tones. The month brought us into alignment with people, places, and things that are more "like" or in resonance with us. And we came into closer communication and participation with our Spiritual Source - our bandwidth was widened. This weekend, as the Balsamic Moon phase begins (and prepares the way for the New Moon, as all Balsamic phases do) we have our Spiritual Source sending messages and information that is personal to each of us, but will also widen our collective sphere of operation and influence. Gaia Sophia is drawing aside two dark curtains (the stage of her creative vision) and opening a new act of her play. Remember yesterday I wrote that we were preparing for changes. Life change and transformation happens in stages. In July we had the change I called the Turning Point and we processed and integrated that change clear through to the New Moon in Libra. This past month has set us up for a new spiral of evolution of consciousness (which is more appropriately called "alignment of consciousness" because evolution is actually our awakending to our union with the Divine). The new twist will come over the next lunar month, the New Moon in Scorpio, and will be kicked off with a total solar eclipse. This new turning point won't be like the last. Changes aren't going to happen to us - we are going to change things. We will be taking up torches that will blaze through February. In March we will prepare for yet another new turn that will take place in April. This is how things will unfold.

July's Turning Point was extremely hard because our energetic fields received a massive upgrade and this shifted the events and circumstances of our lives. Corrections were made. Now, November's "Activation Point" will be much easier because it is in our control. Our inner spiritual warrior will be engaged. If the idea of this exhausts you - take heart. This isn't going to be grueling or draining in any way. Don't let my reference to a new "turning point" trigger trauma that you experienced back then. We will activate with skill and perfect execution because we will be conscious of what we are doing. All action will be purposeful with no wasted movement.

Balsamic Moon phases are quintessentially Neptunian. They are the dream time when the veils between the worlds are thinnest. It's misty and we are at our most intuitive level during Balsamic. This particular Balsamic is punched up with the pop of Neptune stationing direct, which happens this weekend (this will also bring some relief to the Pisces among us). Balsamic phases prepare the way. Anything negative that you are carrying from the past month should be released in preparation for the new energy. This is not a weekend where you want to be really busy because we need down time (receiver time) to hear what Sophia is whispering to us. All wise owls should locate to their "inner tree" and be open.

If you find yourself crying this weekend, you are on track. (This doesn't mean that if you arent' crying you aren't on track). But the love of Sophia is so close to our hearts this wekend and the common reaction is crying. It's like listening to Bach, Beethoven, or Chopin. It stirs us to beauty.

Are you excited about what is happening? I certainly am.

Friday, November 9, 2012

In some significant way, a change is preparing to take place for each of us. Today involves a "practice run" with this, so events will foreshadow it. To prepare, we will need to clean out some of our old habits or routines. Air out these things and see if they measure up in the light of day. If not, they need to be discarded. If it is outworn (especially if it is something that keeps coming up time and again, like you are on a circular path that goes nowhere), today is the day to deal with it and do it a different way. Painful memories may be brought up. If so, we will also have to deal with these. This energy is going very deep to clean up and transform. Facilitate the process by taking deep breaths.

Wednesday, November 7 - Thursday, November 8, 2012

Some days dualities are stronger than others; Wednesday and Thursday are two of those days.

Wedneday's energy brings the need to consciously choose our mindset. In other words, we will have to work at choosing a day that reflects our natural, true state of being: joyful, playful, and appreciative of the beauty of the planet. It's a wise old owl indeed who can express these things in the world today. The window of time of extremely intense energy has now closed and we don't have to worry about maintaining strong ground by invoking the rocky cliff. We don't have to hold on so tightly or rigidly. It's time to lighten up and let in some air. It's time to let things fly (meaning some things just need to go!). Simplicity is the keyword for Wednesday.

Thursday brings the potential for overwhelm if we try to take on too much responsibility (for tasks, for others and for others' feelings...) or try to be overly self-sufficient. The opposite side of the energy is laziness and falling victim to disinterest or martyrdom - believing the world is against us. The key to dealing with this is the age-old wisdom of balance. We have to find a balance between taking care of ourselves and others, balance between work and play, and balance between the light and dark sides of our psyches. Like Wednesday, this energy requires some skill to navigate because it will unbalance people and will unbalance situations. Stay even-keeled and aim for the center. Yoga will help immensely if you are teetering. Balance is the keyword for Thursday.

Tuesday, November 6, 2012

There isn't much more I can write about today's Mercury retrograde and the energy that accompanies it than I wrote in yesterday's extensive post. So if you missed that one, you will want to go into the Archives and read it.

I can say that the energy is spinning very fast and in the process it is really generating strong fields. It is empowering our fields at a great clip. This is often felt as anxiety and restlessness and produces headaches and lower back problems. The ironic thing is that when are personal electromagetic fields are being empowered, we usually "feel" weak. There's an adjustment period involved. It is important to take good care of yourself when we have these upgrades. Remember to pace yourself and not get caught in the whirlwind. The energy is weird and even bizarre, so today we will continue to be the rocky cliff withstanding the brunt and tomorrow we will revert to wise owl in the tree.

I just want to say a quick hello to everyone who is on the Oracle Report Facebook page that wise owl Andrew operates. It is certainly one awesome energetic field that is being generated!

Monday, November 5, 2012

The rocky cliffs are alive with the sound of Sophia! (Our personal energetic fields are being tuned to resonate with her and we are integating the fact that we are always sustained by her. This is accomplished through harmonics, and is reflected in astrology.)

We are in the last two days of the window of time that I said was going to be challenging. These days are going out with fireworks, primarily because Mercury will station retrograde tomorrow, but the effects of this begin today. Events today are going to foreshadow what will transpire over the 21 days when Mercury will be retrograde (now through November 27th). I will first go over why this is going to be an intense retrograde period and then I will go over the ultimate outcome of it, which is awesome. The story has a happy ending, so bare with me.

The purpose of pointing out the challenging aspects that accompany the retrograde is to assist navigation of it. By being aware of what is happening, we can maintain sanity and hold strong energetic fields when it is hard for others to do so. For those who follow a little bit of astrology, the Mercury retrograde opposes the Black Moon, squares Neptune and Chiron, sextiles Venus, and trines Uranus. That is a hell of a lot of aspects! And they aren't easy. Mercury retrograde always affects interpersonal communications, but the aspects to Venus and the Black Moon enhance it exponentially. Similarly, Mercury retrograde always affects electronic devices, but the aspect to Uranus enhances that exponentially. The square to Neptune and Chiron means our poor, dear early Pisces people that we've been trying to take care of now have the comapany of the early degree Sagittarians and Geminis. Of the mutable Sun signs, only the Virgos get a pass with this retrograde. Pisces, Sagittarians, Geminis, and Scorpios (or anyone with a lot of Scorpio energy) are the ones who are going to feel this the most. This also means that their missions are greater because they will be doing a lot of work in service of the Sophia's planetary vision. Remember we are healing the collective of humanity by healing ourselves and raising our vibrations to be in constant communication and participation with her and her plan.

But today and tomorrow it is essential that all of us be careful and gentle with our words! Be kind! Things are going to get ugly and people are going to act ugly. Soften your energy as much as you can. It helps to slow down and take your time. The energy is fast and will carry you downstream before you know it, so stay grounded and "be" the rocky cliff. You'll know the energy by the impulsivity and quickness that people exhibit. Do not rush into any type of commitment. In fact, new action is not favored. And by all means, don't buy anything electronic if you can help it until Mercury stations direct on the 27th. During this time we are going to hold the field because people are going to be blasted out of it. Mercury will retrograde back into Scorpio and amp up the Saturn in Scorpio energy we've been adjusting too. It's a crazy train.

Now for the happy ending. This energy will actually repair communications and relationships, especially those that were affected by last summer's Turning Point (new readers can see the July-August archives). Also, the Sabian symbol for the degree of Mercury's retrograde is "an old owl up in a tree." For most of the retrograde we will utulize our "wise owl in the tree peering out" technique, but for today and tomorrow we are the rocky cliff. The retrograde will be very healing, particularly for the signs mentioned above. Sophia is going to work at deep levels to bring us into closer communication and resonance with her. The show is on and we are directly engaged in lead roles in the drama. The "speed" or "pace" of the energy will provide inertia for not only her personal navigation, but also ours. The "spin" will empower vortices for healing (the "gates" or "power points" we worked with during our group meditation). More on that as we go along.

For today, slow down and remember to watch your words! It would also be a good idea to set an intention to maintain a grounded connection with Sophia over the next 21 days. Mercury retrograde with a Uranus aspect equals "ground the connection" - just like grounding an electrical outlet.

Saturday, November 3 - Sunday, November 4, 2012

The photo of Kileaua for this weekend's report carries several different layers of meaning and the layer of life that this energy affects will be different for everyone.

This month we've been practicing being a rocky cliff. Well this weekend we are going to stretch ourselves a bit and morph that image into a bigger rocky cliff - a volcano. An eruption of potential is upon us. This is due to several confluences of energy, not the least of which is Venus in Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn. Things have the potential to erupt in the world and in our interpersonal lives, but we are going to follow a different lava flow with this energy. What we want to concern ourselves with is what is happening with our hearts. The heart chakra is being activated with a blaze - what you might call a "home fire." The desire for the feeling of home is strong this weekend. The feeling of home carries many different layers of meaning. For some it is a feeling of connection with others or a special other; for some it is the feeling of being comfortable in your own skin or comfortable in the company of like-minded people. It is a lot of things. But it's a warmth that is felt at the deepest levels of the heart.

Now, if you have felt isolated, lonely, or concerned about anything related to the theme of a home or family (including family wounds) or the idea of security/insecurity in all its forms (financial, physical, emotional), this energy is going to press on you. You might feel it welling up from inside you just like a volcano ready to erupt. This is happening to bring your feelings to the surface so that they can be acknowledged and transformed into truth. What is the nature of this truth? Well, it has many layers of meaning.

This energy is being sent special delivery by Sophia to strengthen not only our connection with her, but also to enhance our understanding of the fact that we are always sustained by her. She is a constant, unseen energy always welcoming us home. Because we are on the planet, we are always home. We are never apart from home. It is not a coincidence that this notion is being reinforced this weekend. Sophia is directly interfacing with the collective now and anyone who has the desire to tune in is able to integrate her communication. She wants us to know that we are sustained no matter what transpires around us.

What is transpiring around us is dark. The potential for ugliness over the next four days is high. So we are going to take this eruption of potential and turn it inside out. Focus on love and light welling up from your heart, igniting, and bursting forth into the space around you. We are actually going to transform space and time from our location on Earth (Gaia Sophia). While you do it, know that this is coming from the core of the Earth herself and you are intimately linked to her. She is the Sustaining Fire that transforms.

Don't fight the changes to your heart this weekend, no matter what, because this is happening by Divine Co-Creation.

Friday, November 2, 2012

So it has been pretty dark out there, hasn't it? Did wisdom, insight, or whatever was imparted to you yesterday come about from something "dark" or something that was unpleasant? Last week I mentioned that the window of time through November 6 was going to be challenging. Remember that I wrote that we would need to transform into a "rocky cliff" that would withstand the battering. We've certainly seen this on the macro and micro levels. The energy has been suffocating; the way it is working is by pressing on emotions and then our minds engage in a loop of overanalysis. This is exhausting. Today we need to take all of that away. The Full Moon phase ends and it is now time to let some light shine on the rocky cliff. We're still holding our ground and taking the brunt, but let's get back to basics and pull in the beauty that is all around us in order to resuscitate. One of my cats, Max, returns to today's picture because he makes everyone happy and we need some happiness right now.

That's technically the end of today's report, but if you care to continue reading, I would like to share a story. I spent the day in jail yesterday. Not like that - I wasn't arrested or anything. I was there for work. In my overly-demanding day job, I am the director of a non-profit that provides counseling and support services for victims of sexual assault and sexual abuse. We were at the jail for a 're-entry fair" for non-violent offenders who are getting ready to transition back into the population. Many people in jail are survivors of sexual abuse, so the idea was for them to know about resources in the community. But the violent offenders are housed in this labyrinth as well, and even though I'm pretty adept at walking along the dark side, it was a pretty horrid experience, primarily because we weren't allowed to take anything inside and we were as trapped as the prisoners. Despite putting up a lot of personal energetic protection in advance, wearing the sign of Mahakali, and being in the company of two beautiful souls, my energy waned as the day progressed. I was beginning to get sick. The air was re-circulated staleness. There were no windows to show Sophia's bouquet of autumn leaves in Northern Virginia. The light was fluoresecent. The only sign of the planet was on the top floor where the administrators work. They have windows. When I got home, I could barely move from exhaustion.

My purpose in telling this is that it is a rare experience when you are this disconnected with Sophia. And when connection with her is taken away, life is lost. This is why I always say to take in the beauty of the planet. I'm criticized for talking in rainbows and butterflies, but truly that's all there is to say. That's all we need. I walk around in awe of her creation, but I will never look at her the same way again.

Thursday, November 1, 2012

Something is going to be imparted to us today. Most likely this will be knowledge, wisdom, insight, or, in keeping with this month's theme of new opportunities, something that takes you or your mindset down a new path. It may be a "renewed" path. Since Venus will transit opposite Uranus, what is delivered may be quite unexpected. The trick will be having the ears to listen or the eyes to see it when it comes. So we will need to be extra-sensitive to what is going on around us. Go outside of your box. What is the universe showing you today? We remain in the window of time until November 6 where the energy is challenging to navigate. To manage this, focus on your down-to-earth needs. The past few days have been chaotic and fast. Try to slow things down as night falls because we need a bit of restoration. Keep in mind that this window of time is trying to also help us establish new and better boundaries, so devote your time wisely.

Tuesday, October 30, 2012

I mentioned this past weekend that some days would be harder than others in the window of time until November 6. Today is one of the better ones, so we have a breather. We want to use this opportunity to focus on the idea of being like a rock or a rocky cliff because the energy favors the ability to see that what is developing is stronger and has more permanence than before. There is a distinct benefit in practicing this. Over the past year we practiced the shamanic skill of transforming perspective to an owl in a tree, peering out and observing but not being involved in the chaotic swirl outside. We are able to readily revert to that state when needed. Now, the skill of the rocky cliff enables us to be in the chaotic swirl but not be battered or thrown off by it. This will become more and more important to maintain sanity over the next two years. The rocky cliff is not just grounded - it is the ground. It is immovable. Feminine energy remains strong today and makes all types of creations empowered. What would you like to create or reinforce today? Feminine energy is the energy that creates or births things, so you can do a lot with today's confluences of energy.

Thanks for all the well wishes during the storm. All is good here. We need to give thanks to the Sun for quieting down over the past few days so that its electromagnetic energy could not be used to power the storm even more. (We live in an electric universe, contrary to what scientists say.) Let's send good energy to all of the Oracle Report owls in the path of the storm who now have to deal with the aftermath.

Monday, October 29, 2012

It's the Full Moon known as the Hunter's Moon and certainly the hunt is on. Any answer you seek today requires you to look below the surface. The Sun is located at the degree known as "deep sea divers" and discusses the need go underneath things to find the truth. This means we need to use the skill of discernement combined with intuition. Remember that this month is about new opportunities and doors opening. In other words, things change from the way they were. The past changes. This will reach fullness with the Full Moon phase, but we may not understand or see it until the end of the lunar month.

It's difficult for me to gauge the energy other than what is written above because there is such a monstrous presence overhead. Many readers have written asking about the hurricane on the East Coast of the US and if I believe it is a natural event. The answer is no. You can read my post from the weekend (in the Archives) where I was saying this without saying it. There is no question that this is a manipulation. It is quite a malicious marvel. We've known that there has been the ability to manipulate the weather since the Vietnam era. This is documented in my book Eris. Technology has certainly advanced since then. The storm is going to provide cover for a lot of things, primary among them the presidential election. But remember that since the New Moon was conjunct Eris, things are much more complicated than they appear on the surface. The energy empowers multiple occult (translation: hidden) agendas. Venus has moved in to Libra (Venus and Eris rule Libra) which brings double feminine energy - double the feminine energy to empower anything. If you have read my book you know that the Eris energy is the favorite of (at least some portion of) the Illuminati. Saturn is also a favorite.

During this Full Moon phase, we want to be the rock. Reread the weekend's post to refresh yourself with this. Remember that whatever transpires in life, it is more complicated than we know. We need to maintain equilibrium and hold the light in a strong way through November 6. If your emotions get strong (any emotion - sadness, fear, hopelessness, anger, euphoria) reel yourself back in. Don't be lead astray with that. Keep the balance.

Saturday, October 27 - Sunday, October 28, 2012

We are entering a window of time that is going to be rocky so we need to undertake special measures. This window of time opens Saturday and continues through November 6. When we have energy that is difficult to navigate, I usually suggest some type of technique like being the wise owl peering out from within its tree. The energy is much too strong for that and requires something much more substantial. This energy is going to batter us emotionally, mentally, and physically, so we need to transform into a massive, rocky shore that will resist the pounding. The energy will come in waves during this time - some days will pound harder than others. Events in the world will reflect this. I am not discussing this to "front load" or create a reality; I am discussing this so that you understand what is happening if you start to have trouble. If you feel yourself getting emotionally overwhelmed, the thing to do is ground yourself as if you were a rocky cliff - a part of the landscape of the Earth herself. Picture this cliff as rooted deep within the Earth. When things get difficult, go inside yourself and follow the rock down. We will need a strong barrier to maintain equilibrium.

I want to talk a little bit about the nature of energy. "Difficult" energy enables us to see things differently and to grow - not suffer. The grand experimental vision of Gaia Sophia (us) does not involve any element of suffering. Suffering has been introduced by forces that stand against her vision (us) and seek to annihilate it (us). They use windows of time/energy that are designed for growth and twist or amp them up to the point of suffering. They do this by manipulating us - tricking us. It is very easy to do with technology today and the mass addiction to visual images of fear and violence. One image can reverberate through time, space, and psyches. Whatever develops and whatever images are projected, realize that this is being manipulated. We are much too savvy to think that the planet or spiritual energy causes suffering. True, the planet does initiate changes and corrections and casualties ensue. But there is a difference. Those things happen quickly and without warning. The things that are pumped into the collective for days, weeks, years, millenia are manipulations. The Full Moon of the month when the Sun is in Scorpio (the next moon phase we will enter) is always a precarious time. But we have a nexus of various astrological energies that are too ripe for darker forces not to take advantage of. Don't be afraid. Just remember that whatever is being pumped into the collective consciousness is a manipulation to emotionally weaken you. But you are a rock and not so easily moved.

Since I live outside of Washington, DC, the approaching hurricane may mean I lose electricity and prevent me from posting. This weekend's report, in combination with yesterday's report, should see you through until I am up and running again. No worries.

Friday, October 26, 2012

Per this month's theme of two energies existing side by side, today we have two things at play. One side involves devotion, healing, and intention; the other side involves wounding and a push forward for power and domination. Remember that the New Moon in Libra was conjunct the planet Eris, and with Eris things are always complex and more than they appear on the surface. This makes communicating the nature of the energies a bit more challenging, but I will give it my best shot. We will of course focus on the first side of the energy, while remaining aware that the other is also happening.

Today we need to intentionally devote ourselves to some aspect of healing. This could be something you want to heal about yourself, but it also can be an intention to heal the human collective, particularly the unbalanced collective human psyche that has been tricked into believing that power and "success" in life comes from a sense of domination. If you have been following the Oracle Report for a while, you know that I write that it is our job to heal our fellow humans by radiating a frequency that reveres the planet (Gaia/Sophia) and participates in her grand creative vision for humanity. We don't need to worry about healing the planet - she is doing that all by herself. Our fellow human beings are another matter entirely because they are deeply immersed in darkness, primarily due to mass illusion and trickery. So today we want to find light - literally. Find the Sun, find a flame, find someone who holds light - whatever it means to you. Then do something to devote yourself to it (state your intention). This should be simple, like saying "I devote myself to the intention of the planet to heal the schism of humanity." Or, if you want to keep it personal, you can state "Today I devote myself to healing ______ about myself."

There is a lot of spiritual support behind our efforts with this, and one of the reasons for this is that the asteroid Vesta is now located at the degree opposite the Galactic Center. Vesta is the "fire of home" and the Galactic Center, contrary to erroneous popular belief, is not a giant black hole. It is the Source of love, light, and life in our galaxy. The planet is our home and the Galactic Center is our home away from home.

Don't underestimate things today. There is power in our actions.

(Today's picture of the Orionid meteor was taken by M.S. Moon on October 23 and posted on www.spaceweather.com.)

Wednesday, October 24 - Thursday, October 25, 2012

Well, yesterday was an interesting day, wasn't it? Hopefully you were able to stay in your tree, so to speak, and observe what was happening without too much difficulty. The month of the Sun and Saturn in Scorpio will be powerful, no doubt, and today the Sun approaches exact conjunction with Saturn. Remember at the New Moon I talked about things happening in "two's." The Sun-Saturn conjunction is a two-part/two day event with two energies. Today is definitely the day that will require some skill to navigate. Mainly we will need to hold back - hold back our emotions, hold back our words, hold back our thoughts, hold back our energy, etc. Don't let yourself get overwhelmed or exhausted by this. Things are going to "spill" all over the place. The Moon enters watery Pisces, joining the watery Scorpio energy that the Sun and Saturn are already disseminating. One of the things Saturn is trying to do is form boundaries where none exist. In order for this to happen, we have to see where we need structuring. Most often this happens in a dramatic way so that we are sure to recognize it. So things spill out in order to be picked up and contained. Wednesday things spill or fall apart in some way and Thursday brings containment. Thursday's energy brings all kinds of things together. Much can be achieved on Thursday, especially if we link and cooperate with others. This month's theme of new opportunities and open doors is in full effect Thursday and the energy will be much easier than Wednesday, The Sun remains highly volatile with potential for strong flares. I will keep an eye on this and post on Twitter and send a message to Andrew for the Facebook community should anything significant develop.

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

When the Sun entered Scorpio today, it launched an X1 class flare.

This is spectacular! It's a statement. The Sun is an ally of the Earth (Gaia/Sophia) and made the decision long ago to assist in her divine experiment. The Sun is going to join in purging darkness during its journey through Scorpio over the next 30 days. It is going to help open new doors and opportunities by taking the past very, very far away in our perception of things. So if there is anything you want to let go of, tell the Sun today. When the Sun moves into Sagittarius in late November, the world is going to look very different than it does right now. There will be power plays for sure over the next month and the potential for war and ugliness is definitely higher, but the message is clear: it is all going to be ok no matter what because the Sun is on board. By the way, the Sun sending this flare when it hit 00 Scorpio, the degree where we had our group meditation when Saturn hit the same degree, adds immeasurable power to the intention we set in place at that time to stand the ground. It is kind of like we were the first wave of intention and now the Sun has backed us up or reinforced us. A really, really nice surprise. We should give thanks.

Today is a day for wise old owls to sit in the tree and watch. Although we have a wonderful message with this X flare, the electro-magnetic effects will reverberate in the atmosphere and in our bodies and minds, and will require some adjustment. It is always a bit hard to move from the Sun in Libra to the Sun in Scorpio because VIrgo and Libra are kindred and soft in many ways and the stingers come out when it's Scorpio time. But the combination of now the Sun and Saturn in Scorpio is heavy energy and will need to be tempered. Take care of your body today by stretching as much as possible. Take care of life by sitting in your tree and observing. Take care of others by giving them wide berth. Most will not understand the shift in energy and will react unconsciously. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and Pluto gets down and dirty sometimes. People will begin to "show out" like we've not seen - and we've seen it get pretty ugly already. Not to worry. We are in force with the planet and the Sun and all is well.

(The picture above is of the flare from the Solar Dynamics Observatory.)

Monday, October 22, 2012

On the last day of the Sun in Libra, we are blessed with the first effect of the weekend's work on integrating the hemispheres of our brains - a different sort of ability to see the truth in situations. This will cause us to see things a different way (in a new light) and in turn opens us to new possibilities. We are working with pure energy that is extremely potent and may prompt you to leap into something or bring something forward. This energy creates form and concreteness . It "sculpts" physical reality. The negative response to this would be over-analyzing things or impeding progress. So the central theme today is things taking form or taking new form. What do you want to create today?

Saturday, October 20 - Sunday, October 21, 2012

As the Sun flows through the last degrees of Libra, there is a special type of serenity that we are graced with this weekend. An interesting thing is going to happen: the connection between the left and right sides of our brains is going to be enhanced. It's another upgrade to our personal frequency but this process will be softer. The bridge between the two hemispheres of the brain is called the corpus callosum. It is the interhemipheric pathway made up of neural fibers. Let's paint a prettier, more Oracle Report-ish picture to explain what is happening. Picture a field of wheat under a clear night sky. Millions of lightning bugs are buzzing around both sides of the field and then begin to swarm together until they seem to become one source of light. This is what is happening in our heads.

There are multiple effects of this. In our personal lives, we are going to handle the everyday ("real") world much better. Everyone reading this knows it is hard to walk in both the physical world and the spiritual world. It is going to be easier to intergrate these two. Hallelujah!

Because the connection between the hemispheres of our brains is being strengthened, our personal energetic fields (which can be directly correlated to brain waves) are also being strengthened - magnified. Essentially, we will walk around the planet with a bigger, stronger field - one that others around us can entrain to. Remember brains are signal transmitters/receivers and signals entrain to whatever is stronger. This is a technical explanation of the Hundredth Monkey idea. In other words, you are affecting the field of collective human consciousness in a bigger way. (We are taking on a bigger role in Gaia/Sophia's grand visionary drama.)

There isn't anything else I want to mention about this weekend's energy because I think it is best that we enjoy ourselves as much as possible and find as much beauty that the Libra Sun reveals while we can. The Sun will move into Scorpio next week and this will dramatically power the Scorpio energy that we've been adjusting to for the last couple of weeks. We won't think about that for the weekend. We will do with that soon enough.

At the New Moon I mentioned that this month would bring new opportunities. Today we see new paths and directions and the need to do things a different way. This is good! Don't let fear stand in your way with this. At the same time, use your own (keenly developed by now) sense of discernment if someone is trying to "reveal" something to you. Aim for finding what is true for you and you will be guided toward exactly what you need. Today's energy carries the desire to escape from reality. This is certainly a divine set-up because Neptune ('escape") at the first degree of Pisces is making a trine with Saturn ("reality") at the first degree of Scorpio. It's part of what is pushing us toward new opportunities that are stabilizing and satisfying. It will be interesting to see where the day takes us and what type of revelations and insights we have by the end of it.

Thursday, October 18, 2012

Today's energy has strong potential to create confusion. We will need to integrate our will and our emotions because the tendency is to swing widely between the two. Temper strong will with love and reinforce your emotions with strength. If you feel "all over the place," take a deep breath and choose one thing to focus on at a time. Act for a single purpose. This energy is overstimulating our minds and may produce the side effect of headaches. Also, we are going to want to be careful about overhearing things and then repeating them. If you don't know the full story about something, don't repeat it.

Some days are more conducive to receiving inspiration or having powerful intuition. Like yesterday, today is one of those days. The predominant energy of confusion may make it hard to trust your intuition, but if you retreat from the chaotic swirl and go to the place of stillness inside you, things will become clear.

Don't be pulled off center. Practice your skills of flexibility and fluidity and realize that what we generally think is important is usually not important in the grand scheme of things.

Wednesday, October 17, 2012

Today we see that to everything there is a season. We see where adjustments need to be made - with things that have no lasting value or are no longer relevant. Inspiration fills the air today and is falling all around you like leaves in autumn. This is happening to change your focus. We've had a taste of the heaviness of the energy since Saturn entered Scorpio and today we will have some balance from that with a lift of lightness. This will happen as the day progresses and the Moon moves toward Sagittarius. Things have become very unbalanced (mentally, emotionally, physically) over the last two weeks and the planet is working to help us bring ourselves more toward a state of balance. We've been holding our ground, anchoring ourselves to the Earth, and the energy will relieve us somewhat today so that we don't have to hold on so tightly. No matter if you are in the Northern or Southern hemisphere, the season is changing. Signs and signals will be plentiful today, so shift your focus toward the lightness of being aware.

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

The Moon has entered Scorpio for the first time since Saturn entered Scorpio. We will come to learn how these days each month, power issues raise their ugly heads. Power plays, power mongers, and power struggles bring out the worst in people. Today though, it is masked with a smile by people who think they know better or could do better than someone else. WIth power comes arrogance. The way to navigate this today is to keep a balance on your emotions with logic and groundedness. One of the positive things about Saturn in Scorpio is the increased ability to ground ourselves firmly in place. Situations and events are tipping heavily out of balance today, so don't be surprised if this energy catches up with you a bit. It is all rather exhausting, so remember to rest as much as you can if you are experiencing difficulties. And if a petty tyrant rears up, just ignore him or her. Power struggles are ridiculous and it isn't worth the energy to engage these people. Besides, the abuse or mishandling of power always turns on itself. We are interested in the real power - the power of the planet and our empowered, conscious participation in her creative experiment of humanity. We fly above petty power issues like the soaring eagle (which I've chosen to remain as the day's photograph to emphasize yesterday and today's reports - remember that things will come in two's this month).

Monday, October 15, 2012 - New Moon in Libra

As the New Moon in Libra opens, the Sabian symbol tells us what the month's energy will bring: 23 Libra - a chanticleer's voice heralds the rising Sun with exuberant tones. The New Moon at 23 Libra directly opposes Eris at 23 Aries. Geocentrically speaking, the Earth herself is located at 23 Aries - with Eris. That's some serious feminine energy.

I want to emphasize something about this month's energy. Because the New Moon opposes Eris, there will be two energies at play throughout the month. Anything involving Eris always means two things will be going on simultaneously. "The rising Sun" symbolizes new beginnings and new opportunities. On the personal level, this is a wonderful thing. Our hard-won, new energetic bodies (courtesty of the energy of the Turning Point in mid-July through yesterday) will now begin operating in the way the upgrade intended - through resonance, putting us with people, places, and things that are now like us. If you think of it in radio terms, and we should because the planet communicates through radio waves and is doing so even with Jupiter right now (www.spaceweather.com), we will begin coming into signal resonance with things that are most like us. The operating principle of the Universe is "like attracts like." The energy that made corrections within our personal fields and in turn in the events of our lives is now over. We are a new "tone" now and essentially we sound like something different than we did. Our voice is aligned to the voice of the planet. In collaboration with the planet, we are participating in communications between the Earth and the Sun, Jupiter, and the Galactic Center. This is crazy stuff I know. But as each of joins the planet on her journey, we are privy to her communications. This is complicated and too much to go in to today, but I will talk more about it another time. Just understand that you are broadcasting on a wider band now. You are stronger and your "voice" is heard at greater distances, meaning you have far more power to affect things.

That said, let's look at the degree of Jupiter, since the Earth has chosen to invite that energy into her navigation through space and time. Remember that Jupiter went retrograde the day Saturn went into Scorpio. Jupiter remains at the degree known as "a woman activist in an emotional speech, dramatizing her cause."

Additionally, the Sun sent a G-1 class geomagnetic storm that lasted 15-hours and produced exuberant tones of colors of auroras this weekend. Most likely, a solar flare will be released today as the Sun imprints its element to the month's energy. This bombardment of solar energy contributed to the strong emotions and out of control feelings people experienced over the weekend (especially Scorpios or those with an abundance of Scorpio energy and Pisces - especially those born between February 19 and 23- or those with an abundance of Pisces energy). Remember, we must look out for these brothers and sisters right now. This energy is bombarding them (us).

So this month is going to bring rich new experiences, especially if your highest goal is to work with the planet. This is where the real action (and the real fun and joy) is. This is what we are going to focus on because as I stated above, there are two things happening this month.

The second thing that is happening is that the new world order (who are oh so fond of "new dawns," Saturn entering Scorpio, and anything involving the Eris energy - which is represented by eagles, owls, and lions and why I chose the Eagle today with a little help from a message from a wise owl in Arkansas) is going to move their agenda forward at breakneck speed. War in the Middle East will continue to escalate as more chaos (and fear) is pumped into the collective so that a new "order" can be established. We will need to create our own order out of the chaos and we will do so day by day, as each day dawns. There is nothing to be concerned about here. I am not fear mongering. Wise owls see what is happening and are not taken in so easily. You are reading this because you are part of the sanity.

To figure out what two things are going on for you personally will require honest self-reflection and we will take that one day at a time also so don't become overwhelmed with the New Moon energy. Salute the Sun and honor the Earth today as we begin anew. Take time outs and engage the beauty that is all around you - just like we always do.

Friday, October 12 - Sunday, October 14, 2012

Friday's energy centers around expectations - what we expect of ourselves and what others expect of us. It is important to remain true to your own individuality and not let others project their own issues onto us. If conflicts or difficulties arise, ask yourself whose expectation is really the concern. Is someone's motive or level of commitment being revealed? We will need to remain true to ourselves and not be pulled from our path.

Saturday's energy allows things to easily get carried away and out of control. There's almost a hysteria with people's emotions. People are inclined to be manipulative, trying to sway others to their desires. To maintain a state of equilibrium, use the technique of being the wise old owl deep inside the tree, peering out and observing what is happening without becoming involved.

On Sunday, we will need to nourish ourselves and refresh our hopes, wishes, and dreams. It's the last day before the New Moon and the best time to clear out anything that remains unresolved from the past (especially the past month). The energy is about nourishing through simplicity and acts of kindness (especially kindness to ourselves).

The next lunar month (which begins Monday) is a powerful one. It heralds a vast new beginning and the month is going to bring many opportunities. More on this Monday and what we can expect from the New Moon opposing Eris.

Thursday, October 11, 2012

Today we have a big aspect with Mars opposing the Black Moon (and the Moon squaring it). This is happening in what we call "mutable" signs, meaning it mutates or changes things. We are finding that we are moving into a new phase of being but, despite all of our experience, it is surprisingly difficult. Saturn in Scorpio is a major mutation. It makes the underworld routine. We are living and breathing it, walking through it and trying to shine light. It's a tough mission because sometimes it seems everywhere you turn there is something to take you down. With the astrological aspects today, all of this will seem especially true. Anger can erupt quickly and vehemently, particularly if someone feels like they are being rejected. We need to take our time, take things step by step, and not get too far ahead of ourselves. People in general will have a difficult time coping with stressors today and will need some help. This nice thing is this energy is wonderful for repairing damage. The ability to fix things is a main component today. The Sun is amping up to charge our energetic fields, so make sure you take time to observe the natural world around you to restore your energy. We might feel like we are walking through the underworld, but the beauty of the planet remains a constant companion.

Wednesday, October 10, 2012

The emotional wave subsides a bit today and the energy calls for us to be strategic. We need to be more thoughtful and cautious, taking into account the wider picture. Impulsivity will be risky today, so slow down and think things through if you are faced with important decisions. Think things through several moves ahead. We need to sit back and contemplate from a larger perspective. This will require us to take time for reflection back to the past to carry forward what we've learned in order to create the future the way we want it. Situations that seem futile today are not; they just require a good plan in order to proceed.

Spaceweather reports that solar activity is increasing as active regions begin to turn Earthside so stay tuned.

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

Today we are going to dive. The energy is rife with complexity so when things get a little much, dive below the surface of things to the safety of the deep. We want to go under all of the whitecaps of emotions that are being stirred. Yesterday's picture was of the giant wave of whitewater. Today I have chosen this picture to change our perspective to being under the surface where it is quiet and seeing only the glimmering light. You may have to go deep inside yourself to find stillness. "Going deep" is something we will become quite adept at while Saturn is in Scorpio. Today the idea that superficiality does not lead to happiness or meaning is what leads the way. We have to get under the surface of things. Anyone who hasn't figured this out yet is going to be challenged today.

We are new to our "new" selves and we aren't masters of our new energy yet. But we'll have the opportunity to practice today. Lessons from the turning point will resurface and give us a chance to act within higher integrity based on what we've learned about ourselves. What have you learned about yourself since July? How will you apply it today? It's ok if you don't immediately know the answers to these questions. Mars is making us nervous today, so don't add to it by putting pressure on yourself to act or be a certain way. Just be aware and think before you act. This day is more about contemplation than action. The only real action that is required is to dive below the surface. The tendency is to opt out with a cop-out so don't do that.

Thank you to everyone who wrote in about their experience with last Friday's group meditation. We were uniquely blessed in our endeavor and the efforts will be long-;asting. This lunar month we've been working on strengthening our connection with the goddess embodied as the planet - Gaia/Sophia. We've been working on joining her as participants in her creative vision. Friday's meditation identified everyone as co-creators with her. Consider yourself listed on the cast of characters in the drama.

There are Oracle Report readers all over the world. Of all the places on the planet where people participated in the group meditation, the only place where people experienced any negativity were those who were closest to the power gate in Denver. This is unfortunate but not surprising, given what we know about Denver (talk about going under the surface!). The darker forces have blatantly and publicly identified Denver as a hub. The graphic, apocalyptic art and underworld statuary at the airport is displayed in full view of everyone and is enough to signal this awareness. I am not going to detail what all is going on in and under Denver because this isn't the place for that. For more information try to find "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura" and his episode on Denver. That's a good summary. But we are going to leave that area to Sophia. If we do another group meditation like this and you are in Colorado and choose to participate, all you need to do is intend to by-pass that power center and go to Yellowstone or Santa Fe. It is easy enough. Please don't misunderstand this. Denver is a beautiful place with beautiful spirits. It's precisely why darker forces are drawn there. If the goddess has seen fit to place you in proximity, you are indeed on a special mission and we thank you for your service.

Monday, October 8, 2012

Friday's weak but long-duration CME has reached Earth and is going to draw things out - prolong them - today. It may be a bit taxing. Yesterday's emotional "spillage" flows into today, so the effects of the CME will be felt most on our emotional bodies. Emotions are running the gamut. While we are trying to adjust to Saturn in Scorpio, we notice a few things: power and domination issues are surfacing and some people are irritated, angry, and acting ugly; lots of traffic accidents; fears are rising; we are trying to find ways to contain or structure ourselves in the wake of emotions; places where we've felt victimized are sore even if we think we've moved past them; and generalized confusion. This is a time when we need to ground ourselves with the planet even more than normal.

Saturn in Scorpio is in trine to Neptune in Pisces (water signs - meaning emotional and changeable). So whereas it is immediately understandable that Scorpios and anyone with two or more planets in Scorpio is being worked hard, it's the Pisces that are having the most difficult time. Anyone who is an early Pisces (especially with the birthday between February 19 and February 22) is taking a hit. Neptune in its home sign of Pisces is lifting all illusions from Pisces, but the early Pisces have had the most powerful experience so far. Now, the added influence of Saturn in Scorpio making a trine is going to make life harder for them to deal with. Pisces don't like dealing with life anyway, but now the desire to escape through alcohol and substances is going to be hard to control (it's a Saturn in Scorpio thing). I mention this because if a loved one of yours is a Pisces, take special care of them. Scorpios are strong and wield their way through the world, but Pisces are tender and, try though they might, they struggle with the insanity of the world right now more than others.

Today we need to be observant. Observe how people are handling this shift. Detach yourself as much as possible if emotions start to overwhelm. Keep in mind that all of this water energy is cleansing. Water changes course as the course dictates. Be flexible and don't engage the fray. Patience and gentleness is the order of the day. We need time to get used to the way things are going to be while Saturn is in Scorpio (Christmas 2014).

Note to readers in Colorado: I will post more information about last Friday's meditation tomorrow. I would like to give readers who may have just seen the request today time to respond. Please don't be alarmed. Everything is fine and there is no need to be concerned. I'm just taking data right now.

Saturday, October 6 - Sunday, October 7, 2012

A relatively weak, but long-duration CME (B-7) was released yesterday and will reach us on Monday. This will tire out our bodies, so get some rest in reserve this weekend.

We will be adjusting to the energy shift of Saturn in Scorpio for a few days, but most heavily this weekend. It's especially intense on Saturday, and it will be important to take breaks. Scorpio energy is heavy and it is a big change from the airy feeling of Libra. You may interpret this new energy as a feeling of "lock down." We aren't on lock down, but the shift may bring up feelings of confusion and feeling like you either need to be going somewhere in life but you don't know where. or that you are already somewhere else but don't know where you are. Don't panic. This will settle out and become clearer as we acclimate. The thing that will help is the thing that always helps: going outside and grounding/connecting yourself with the Earth. Grounding with the Earth is what will keep us sane while insanity reigns. Remember that this month we are engaging in direct conversation with the planet herself so keep the line of communication open by paying attention to nature.

Sunday brings a bit more volatility to the mix. Mercury has moved into Scorpio along with Saturn and Sunday's energy may cause things to "spill over" or "spill out." If there has been a build up or concentration of strong emotions, they are likely to pour out in a sudden outburst. If you experience this, make sure you are careful with your words and keep in mind that sometimes things break so that they can be put back together to make them stronger and better. If you feel like you are back where you started and the same pattern keeps repeating, make no mistake that this is not the case. Everything has changed.

Thanks to those who participated in the group meditation yesterday. From what I can tell, it was a wild success. It's rare for me to put out a call like that, but I may do it again as we hit other key astrological aspects with Saturn. This will reinforce what we've already put in place.

Take in the beauty that's around you this weekend. You'll find it everywhere.

Friday, October 5, 2012

Today is the day I've been discussing for a few weeks - Saturn's entry in Scorpio. Any time a planet changes signs, the day's events are a bit crazy, but this is especially true of the planets beyond Mars. You will feel the shift in the energy today and through the weekend. It is going to feel strange - a big change from Saturn in Libra. If you feel out of sorts or like you are on an alien planet, you are picking up the signals. These feelings could be extreme, so don't let it throw you off. Just know that you are experiencing the shift. Be very cautious when driving and walking. Stay in the present and pay attention to what you are doing. This shift is going to cause tempers to flare, especially if someone feels "wronged" or that others have fallen down on their responsibilities. People will lean toward being judgmental and looking to place blame. Additionally, Jupiter stations retrograde (appears to move backwards) today, and long-time readers know that this factor alone makes for a day of craziness. The Moon will be conjunct Jupiter as it stations retrograde. Interestingly, the Sabian symbol for the degree of Jupiter's retrograde (16 Gemini) is one we are familiar with - "a woman activist in an emotional speech dramatizing her cause." This was the degree of the Venus transit of June 5/6. It is worrthwhile to go into the Archives and begin reading from May 19th - the Solar Eclipse/Ring of Fire - on through the Venus transit beginning June 1 - to the Turning Point of July 16/17. Things will make more sense and you will be able to see the progression of what's been going on.

On to today's group meditation. Sorry that I had the wrong day up yesterday. Today is the meditation; 4:34 pm EST/ 8:34 UTC but it can be done anytime today after the Sun rises in your locale. Some wondered how long it will take. That's entirely up to you. It could take less than a minute or you may choose to stay in the visualization longer. There is no set time. I am not one for dogma and strict rules (Saturn is!) so the meditation is flexible toward your own individuality. You may want to light a candle if you are in a place you can do that; you may want to have items that are important to you with you. A Sun Salutation or Warrior II yoga pose may be to your preference. The beauty is in the individuality.

To clarify further, the smaller ball of light is your energy and the larger ball of light is the power point (cluster of energy, star gate - whatever you'd like to call it) of Gaia/Sophia that is closest to your geographic location. Your intention will automatically draw you to this point. There are many, many of these places all over the Earth. But these are power sources or gates that are used to "power" sordid magical activities. They are used for other things, too, but we are only going to concentrate on this aspect. This meditation fuses our consciousness (our energy) with the planet's and takes a stand with Sophia saying that we will not be party to actions that will harm our fellow humans over the next two years. We are saying we don't allow it.

So now you may be thinking that those dark forces are asking of little old us "you and whose army?" and the answer is the army of the children of Sophia who are awakening. We are the first wave and there will be many, many more who will come after us. Remember, we are holding ground - not fighting against. We are standing up, dramatizing our cause.

Two things that are absolutely critical about this meditation: 1) put up the white light of protection at the beginning and 2) find beauty at the end. Variations on the rest are completely up to you. Pay attention to what happens throughout the weekend. You will receive a message of thanks from the planet. Most likely it will be in the form of something white. But you have to be in the mindset to catch it, so keep your vibration high. I am sure the facebook community will be interested in your experiences and I will as well.

Group Meditation

Focus on the picture of the owl's eyes in the picture above.
Turn on your inner eye and visualize white light surrounding you.
Visualize yourself turning into a blazing ball of white light.
Pitcure yourself magnetically attracted to a much bigger blazing ball of white light and then fly into it. (The bigger ball may have a landscape around it. That's fine.)
Feel yourself immersed within the bigger light and repeat the mantra: you may not pass; we do not allow you to harm your fellow humans.
Remain immersed for as long or as short as you like. Open your eyes, return to normal awareness, and pay close attention to what you observe around you for the remainder of the day. Make sure you are back in normal attention if you are going to drive or engage in anything where you need to be present.
Find beauty in the world around you.

Thursday, October 4, 2012

First let me begin by saying thank you to everyone who sent warm wishes, energy, and messages about my grandmother's passing. I was overwhelmed by the outpouring and buoyed by the love. There is no way I can reply to everyone, so please know that your thoughts were well received! I am truly blessed.

We have a lot of conjunctions in the sky on the eve of Saturn's entry in Scorpio: Mercury and Saturn; Mars and the North Node; the South Node, the Moon, and the Black Moon. In addition, Venus is opposing Neptune. This makes for a lot of activity in the sky and on Earth. The position of the Sun says it all, though: "miners emerging from a deep coalmine." This speaks not only to our emergence from the inner transformation at the turning point, but to now bringing forward what we have (and who we are) into the light. WIth all of the astrological activity today, it's sure to be eventful. The keyword is "emergence" so be aware that all kinds of things will emerge. The Sun is approaching opposition with Uranus, but is in close enough range for things that are emerging to come from out of the blue, quite unexpectedly. The end result of whatever emerges will be positive - even if it doesn't appear this way as it happens. My teacher was wise and taught me that we are saved by our rejections. I have always found this to be true, but it is especially true with Uranus. Uranus doesn't only bring changes that are difficult; many are quite a relief. I mention this for those who experience an emergence that feels like a rejection.

Now for tomorrow's meditation. I re-posted last week's picture of this dog because it is its own gatekeeper. If you have any sort of negative reaction or hesitation about this picture, do not participate in tomorrow's activity. Just blow past all of this and disregard it. You can continue to read the daily reports without any other attachment.

If, however, you resonate with or find this creature beautiful, you have the go ahead to participate and are in fact called to do so. Dogs are the guardians of the underworld - the land of Scorpio. Please know in advance that there is no danger (energetically or otherwise) in this meditation. We aren't fighting against anything. We are standing with the planet - Gaia/Sophia - and have her protection in place. You see, the wild card in her great experiment (her creative vision) of humanity is humanity itself. The question of humanity's success lies in if humanity will awaken and stand alongside her as she makes corrections to all sorts of things (and forces) that would see the experiment fail. Remember that the Sabian symbol for this lunar month was "Mary and her lamb." This is the heart of it. Mary represents the planet and we are the lambs. We are going to join her at this key junction in the experiment.

What we will be doing is joining our personal energy with her energy that is clustered at power points around the Earth. It is merely a merging. But it is a merging with the following intention to those humans who are dominated by negative forces beyond our realm: you may not pass; we do not allow you to harm your fellow humans. Saturn in Scorpio is the time when the Illuminati are going to make their moves against freedom, joy, and individuality. Remember that this will last until Christmas 2014. The energy of these gates or power places will be siphoned to empower practices toward the ill of humanity. This is our time to make our move - a joining with the spirit of the Earth. The upgrade since July has made us stronger and more connected. Our eneretic voice is powerful. So be clear on what we are doing. We are not fighting; we are holding.

Now, of course this will not prevent the destruction, distress, and suffering that will take place over the next two years. But it will make a difference because we, the wild card, have emerged and are participants with the artist herself.

If you can't participate in the group meditation exactly at 4:34 pm ET/8:34 pm UT tomorrow, that's ok. It can be done any time after the Sun rises tomorrow. This is my suggestion, and any personal touches of your own that you add will only enhance the effects. It is best to do this outdoors, but not necessary.

Focus on the picture of the owl's eyes that I will post tomorrow.
Turn on your inner eye and visualize white light surrounding you.
Visualize yourself turning into a blazing ball of white light.
Pitcure yourself magnetically attracted to a much bigger blazing ball of white light and then fly into it. (The bigger ball may have a landscape around it. That's fine.)
Feel yourself immersed within the bigger light and repeat the mantra: you may not pass; we do not allow you to harm your fellow humans.
Remain immersed for as long or as short as you like. Open your eyes, return to normal awareness, and pay close attention to what you observe around you for the remainder of the day. Make sure you are back in normal attention if you are going to drive or engage in anything where you need to be present.
Find beauty in the world around you.

If you have any questions about this, please forward them via the facebook group or laura@oraclereport.com. I will set aside time today and tonight to answer.

Tuesday, October 2, 2012

My beloved grandmother (an original wise owl) passed yesterday so I am taking a couple of days off from the report. I will return on Thursday to discuss the group meditation that some may want to participate in on Friday. In the meantime, be kind to your body. In July and August, we had a major upgrade to our energetic bodies, September was full of mental processing and adjusting, and now our bodies will follow suit. Stretch and talk walks. Pay special attention to pain in the lower back/kidney area and headaches. This means you have a deep purge going on. Drink lots of water to compensate. Focus on taking care of your physical self.

Monday, October 1, 2012

The planet is reverberating from the double impact of a weak interplanetary shock wave and a stronger coronal mass ejection yesterday. Spaceweather.com reports that the magnetic field and ground currents are being affected. This is part of the reason we felt so tired over the weekend (see report in Archives for more information). All of this is making for a noisy day. It's noisy because people are reacting to the energy and talking a lot and in many ways demanding to be heard, but also because our minds are still rolling around all that we are mentally integrating. So there is a lot of chatter on the outside and on the inside. Two side effects of this that we need to be aware of is the tendency to not be in our bodies/paying attention to what we are doing and the other is taking risks because we think everything will be ok. This is not a day to take risks. We need to quiet our minds and release the mental build-up by spending time outside, noticing the changing of the season, and connected with the planet. If your body hurts (head, heart, joint, etc.) visualize the pain as a stream of vapor leaving your body and dissipating into the atmosphere of the Earth (you'll need to do this outside). Our bodies are reverberating along with the planet, but we were already in heavy duty mental processing mode, so the energy has been intense. Slow down and quiet down today.

Regarding the group meditation on Friday while Saturn enters Scorpio: this is going to be a little more complicated than I originally thought - not executing it, but what it actually is we are going to be doing. It involves points on the Earth where a great deal of energy gathers (gates). In essence, we are going to be directing our light and our good energy to these points. It doesn't matter if we know where they are, geographically speaking, because the intention will send the energy where it needs to go. It will go to the point closest to where you are located. I hesitate to say we are going to be "guarding the gates" because I don't want to freak anyone out, but this pretty much sums it up. Of course we will put up plenty of personal protection if you choose to participate in this. More as the time approaches.

Saturday, September 29 - Sunday, September 30, 2012 - Harvest Moon

Venus reaches the position of the New Moon in Leo ("after a dark storm, a rainbow") - the point which began the re-formation of our energetic fields (and lives) after the turning point one month before. But we don't have a rainbow, exactly; we have a "moonbow" - as captured in this picture taken overnight by Darag M over the skies of Donegal, Ireland (from spaceweather.com). It's a moonbow of the Harvest Moon, the Full Moon that has, since ancient times, enabled those grounded with the Earth to gather the bounty of her harvest long after dark. That's what we will be doing this weekend: gathering wisdom long after the dark. Our mental bodies are trying to catch up to the upgrade that our physical bodies received over the past three months. If you find yourself feeling exceptionally tired, this is your cue to lay down and sleep. The mental processing is enhanced by a CME released yesterday (as expected) and hitting Earth directly this weekend. Remember I mentioned that this sunspot activity was working on the subconscious mind while it was on the far side of the Sun and as we approached the Full Moon it would erupt to bring things into manifestation. It's manifesting first on our conscious mind, and once we have processed it, it will begin to manifest concretely in our lives. Change your mind, change your world - that's how it works; it's alchemy.

There's enough going on in our minds right now so I don't need to add much else, except try to catch the moonbow and view the full spectrum of things (all aspects), be kind to yourself as this processing occurs, and don't spend too much energy thinking about Saturn moving into Scorpio on Friday. (I should have mentioned that the transit will last beginning this Friday until Christmas Eve 2014.) I suggest a group meditation by all the wise owls when Saturn does enter Scorpio on Friday, October 5 at 4:34 pm EDT/ 8:34 pm GMT (and Jean, please let me know if my time conversion is off!). I will have more to say about this on Monday. For now, enjoy the Full Moon and harvest some good wisdom!

Friday, September 28, 2012 - Preview of Saturn in Scorpio

Today we will need to look after things that we care about - people, things, or ideas. There is a need for protection and nurturance. It is a day for guardianship of those who are having an emotionally difficult transit on this stage of our journey. Be aware of this. If you encounter someone who is struggling, take time to listen to them. This energy is sending a call out to spiritual warriors to help their brothers and sisters. The frequency of your heart ripples out and affects the field in your vicinity (it actually spreads out farther than you may want to know!). Random acts of kindness are a favorite tool of the goddess' creation in life.

As we approach the Full Moon, the full and final effects of Saturn's jaunt through Libra are released: penetrating insight and wisdom. Saturn is the Lord of Time, Structure, and Discipline. It is restrictive energy. Libra, on the high octave, is ruled by Eris, the Queen of the Underworld, keeper of the ideals of Freedom, Marriage, Awakening, Balance, and Rebirth. The two are not friends. The combination of energies has been rife with conflict, which has played out primarily within attainment of personal goals and the structure of relationships. These two have been in battle, which has waged an internal battle. But the outcome has produced wisdom. Massive amounts of people have awakened to the nature of the illusion of the world and who is in control. The banking cartel has been exposed on a mass scale. But each of us has also gained wisdom about the nature of our relationships and our responsibility within those relationships. Sometimes the light hurts our eyes.

Now, as Saturn's movement into Scorpio at 4:34 pm EDT/ 8:34 pm GMT on Friday, October 5 becomes imminent, we are going to notice the shift in energy. The transit of Saturn through Scorpio is when the supernatural forces behind the human controllers are going to make moves. The energy is about power and control from another dimension. These forces want to extinguish the life of Gaia. It won't work, of course, but she is going to need every single lightworker living with her to do their part to keep her creative vision intact. We were upgraded and refined at the turning point in order to withstand the dark energy that will be aimed at us. The thing is, we aim "deeper" - nestled deep within the protection of the Earth. That's why we focus on "grounding down" instead of "heading up and out." The importance of this cannot be overstated. Those who are "out there," ungrounded, or waiting for something from beyond to rescue or ascend them are going to go (even more) nuckin futs under Saturn in Scorpio. If you think the world went crazy while Saturn was in Libra, get ready because it is on. Saturn in Scorpio is about order out of chaos and the chaos will be manufactured and enhanced. During this long transit, we as wise owls are going to focus on the "order" aspect - internal order through continual connection with the planet - while the mindset of the collective of humanity passes through Pluto's (ruler of Scorpio) Underworld of Transformation. Aren't you glad you had your upgrade? It has been tough - hellish even- but we are better off for it because the process we just underwent was our saving grace for sanity.

Don't let this message overwhelm you. Don't project the darkness of it. Go back to the first paragraph and focus on today's mission. Saturn in Scorpio is not going to affect you the way it will others precisely so that you will be able to help others. And you do that all the time anyway.

Thursday, September 27, 2012

The keywords for today are crystal and crystallization. If you have had trouble tuning in and communicating with the Mother energy of the planet, break out one of your crystals and go outside. Crystals amplify and carry signals, so the boost may be just what you need. The message may not come through right at that time, but it will enact resonance so that communication is easier. Keep in mind that we are all receiving messages directly from the planet this month, but what we are really doing is tuning in to the open channel of participation in her dreaming - her creative vision for humanity, which is an ongoing conversation. This isn't just about saying a prayer of thanks and asking for what you want in your life. We are not interested in that here, although it sometimes plays a part. It's about recognizing and integrating the fact that your life is not solely your own. Your life is part of the dynamic of the whole of what she has envisioned for our collective and how we can each contribute as individual artists in the creation. It is a living, evolving piece of art.

Since you are part of the troupe of wise owls (and I am "told" to list wild as well), most likely you disdain control from others, but relish in the idea that she has everything under control. And in that, you are developed enough to not surrender your free will, but in fact are wielding it to co-create in the vision and uplifting humanity based on the frequency wave of your heart - love. The barriers of consciousness that have separated humanity from seeing that it is part of every living thing in the great canvas of life are falling. We know that there are forces that stand opposed to this. The conflict is driving people past the brink of sanity. Tomorrow I will discuss how Saturn moving into Scorpio is going to play a part in this. The upcoming Full Moon in Aries is going to kick it all off and the Sun will respond with "sunworks" (fire works). Put that on hold right now and enjoy the remainder of the Moon in Pisces and the absolute crystal clear beauty of the energy. (P.S. The "crystallization" aspect of today's energy represents the re-formation of our lives since the turning point. We've become a new crystal, so to speak, and the components of our lives have come together in a new way. We are still trying to adjust and recognize this, so be kind to yourself if you are depleted, as one dear wise owl reports to me. Get as much rest as you can. Much is happening on the unconscious level and it is easiest on us when we sleep.)

Wednesday, September 26, 2012

All of yesterday's report applies to today also. Are you receiving messages and information?

Today favors transformative realizations that take our focus away from basic instincts to a more spiritual perception. This means that kundalini energy is being refined. Our core fear (which is identified through our natal Black Moon) is going to receive some light today, allowing us to integrate more of this side of us. This is wonderful because anytime we have the opportunity to bring that unconcscious shadow side into awareness we evolve. Most of the problems in our lives are sourced in the shadow side. Since it houses our unconscious fears, it is the place that motivates negative behavior - without us understanding why. It's our personal weakness or downfall and it causes us a great deal of pain. But today, the energy is going to evaporate some of that shadow for us without a direct confrontation (usually shadow integration hits hard and heavy).

Also today you may find yourself in a position or feel the prompt to display your skills or talents or advocate for what you are worth and deserve. Let the facts and the strength of who you are prop you up. There is no need to show off but there is also no need to minimize. Remember who you are.

Tuesday, September 25, 2012

At the New Moon last week I discussed how the Mother energy of the planet was going to make communication with us this month. I also explained that in order to receive the communication we would have to maintain the highest level of integrity and maintain vigilence with nature. Today she will deliver a message to each of us. You may have an animal/bird/insect encounter, feel a movement in your heart, or receive a direct insight or message in meditation or while in a reverant state of mind. The very best way to receive the communication would be to be around a campfire or bonfire, but this won't be possible for most of us. Sitting outside and making a conscious connection will do. We've been working on being in this frequency range for a few months, and now it is time to earnestly join the dialog. Don't become frustrated if you feel like nothing happens for you today. Your brain wave must be in her hertz range to receive the communication. And it has to be strong, which means you are living in that frequency much of the time. It sounds complicated, but really all it means is your heart has reached a certain level of love - love for her and her creation. Anyone who finds this site and resonates with it has already reached that level. So what would you like to say to this divine artist?

On the practical level, which is really quite insignificant compared to what today's real potential is, the theme is cycles. In some way we find ourselves back at a certain point, place, mindset, behavior, feeling - whatever. It seems like we are back where we started, but we aren't because energetically, we have changed completely. Our energetic bodies have been entirely re-configured, so our experience of whatever returns today is not the same. So we don't need to respond or react in the same way. We've been upgraded; some of us just haven't figured that out yet.

Also, when the sunspots that are on the dark side of the Sun right now turn in our direction, we are going to see some big things. Nothing was released our way yesterday, so the Sun is still working on the hidden level (unconscious mind). Remember also that we are edging toward Saturn entering Scorpio. There is much in the offing...

Monday, September 24, 2012

Today features new and sudden beginnings. It may be hard to believe, but something will dawn on you to show that things are different in the light of today's energy. Take heart and realize that darkness that has lingered is abating. Gradually let go of what has gone. Today is about new perspectives and new realizations, but the negative end of this energy is holding on to the past despite all evidence and reason to move on and refusing to believe that things are getting better. I've been talking about this theme for two months, but today is the first day that the energy is fully in place for the re-formation of people, places, and things. The Sun moving into Libra and the configurations of the equinox set this up. If you remember way back to the New Moon in Aries last spring, I discussed how it would take until late September/early October for the full manifestation of this energy.

I generally talk about the planet and what's in play with her, but today the hero is the Sun. Any ritual or prayer of thanks to the Sun today is going to strengthen your spiritual connection and increase your level of intuition. The "dark side" (non-earth facing) of the Sun is highly active. This means that the Sun is working on our unconscious levels. NOAA estimates minimal chance for solar flares directed at us today, but we will see if the Sun decides to divert a burst into conscious manifestation. Don't get too deep, meaningful, or serious today. We will find what we need in fleeting and pleasurable moments. One final thing: the position of Mars, the planet of war and aggression (among other things), is located at a degree that outlets aggressive emotions. The best way for this to happen is through sports - in this case archery or shooting at a range or any group sport, but any positive outlet is better than an outburst or controversy. The energy must be discharged because if not, it will just shoot its way throughout our bodies and hurt us. It has the power to decimate and devastate. Be wise with this.

Thursday, September 20, 2012

Today we want to bring out the skill we honed last winter of the wise old owl in the tree. Objective observation is the mantra today. Look at the issues at hand from an uninvolved perspective. This does not mean, however, that we put up a barrier. Today is about gaining wisdom (and by all means, if you are prompted to go back to an old source - like a book or ancient divination method - do it!). We are going to be able to see "within" to forms and information that is not usually visible. In other words, we are able to look at things a different way. This will provide a nice relief. If you are trying to figure something out, there is something about the old way that needs to be incorporated.

Elements that have been clogging situations are going to be cleared away and resolved today, giving way to the beginning of renewal and recovery. It is cause for celebration.

Wednesday, September 19, 2012

Today's energy is going to move things along and we will need to keep up or get trampled. It isn't a stampede, but the energy is being carried forward with mass and with purpose. To successfully navigate this we will need to find the positives. Depending on where you are at in the process of your life re-forming, you may need to find beauty in the change of the seasons, the warmth of the Sun, or the mist of rain. There is much to look at and all types of things will be on display today - including people's egos. Yesterday I wrote that people would have revelations about themselves and their lives. Today, people will see where things are too late. If you are experiencing this, you are holding on to a past that no longer exists. Everything has changed and a part of you is resisting. But you are holding off something better. All of the changes since the turning point have been designed to upgrade (make happier, more aligned, easier, more fulfilling). What don't you want to let go of and why aren't you seeing that it is better that it goes? What are you afraid of? The nature of human experience in this stage of the Grand Vision of the planetary goddess is to correct and connect - correct what is no longer of service and connect with the vision itself.

Pluto makes the exact square to Uranus, the Moon will conjunct Mars and both move into square with Venus. Squares make drastic changes in direction. But with Uranus involved, the direction is often not what we expected. Don't move along with today's parade needing to have control or know what is going to happen. There's no possible way to do that and it takes all the fun out of it. It will be much more enjoyable to let go and be swept along. The ability to do this is a matter of trust. Do you trust the divine vision of the Mother?

Tuesday, September 18, 2012

The energy is quite unique - elegant, regal, and aristocratic (in the highest sense of the word, not the elitist sense). We are securely wrapped in the arms of the goddess today and she is engendering a "knowingness." You can easily feel this today if you open to it. Today is the last day of the New Moon phase and Gaia/Sophia has been closeby. In order to fully experience the bounty of the deepening connection with her this month, it is important to intend the stronger connection now, during the New Moon phase. New Moon phases always set the tone for the remainder of the month. Thoughts and intentions carry the power of longevity, so maintain a high degree of integrity and intend to feel her presence. On the practical level, there is no need to rush anything today. Whatever you face today, do so with composure and respect because what we put out will come back on us before the month is out. Sharing your time with people who quietly know and understand you will bring peace of mind. The position of Venus today is going to cause many to come to a deep realization about themselves and the state of their lives. This realization is going to transform lives, but it won't happen today. But we are really lucky with this day. It's sublime and I can't quite express it. Just purely beautiful, graceful, and elegant. You are going to want to take this one in and bathe in it. Let's remember it.

Monday, September 17, 2012 - Pluto Stations Direct

Today is a day of grounding. Focusing on everday routines and details is going to create inner peace and organization - bringing order to the chaos we've been under for the past two months. Doing this, and finding simplicity within everything that we do, is going to bring a refreshed perspective. This is sweet, uncomplicated energy that is a welcome rest for our over-worked energetic bodies. Find reverance within your tasks. Recognize that anything that seems inconsequential is a necessary part of the whole.

Today we also want to reinforce our devotion to Gaia/Sophia. Do this by going outside, becoming still, looking at her beautiful creation, and engaging in a conversation. A prayer of thanks works well. Remember that this month she is speaking to each of us. Today strengthens the connection.

For those who are grieving, and there are many, acknowledge what is truly happening: you are conquering life's storms and coming out not only wiser, but stronger.

I would much prefer to write only about the sweet and simple overtones of today's energy, but there is a hiccup that can't be ignored. The owls here are wise enough to integrate complexities. That said, the hiccup to today's energy is Pluto stationing retrograde at 7 Capricorn. While we want to strive for (and bask in) simplicity today, we need to be aware that there is a heightened tendency for people to be manipulative. Any suggestions or conversations that strike you as discordant should be discarded. But the experience will yield important information to you about the person's true nature. Don't let anyone else's ugly words lead you astray or go to your heart. It's just projection at its worst. Pluto is still squaring Uranus, so with the slingshot effect of Pluto's direct movement, there's potential for something shocking or surprising. If you experience this, hold to reverance and simplicity. Remember that this month Sophia is speaking to each of us and in order to hear her, we must hold the highest integrity. Overall, Pluto stationing direct is going to help things out a lot. It's just the day it happens can be a bit much.

Saturday, September 15 - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - New Moon

I've chosen this painting, The Virgin Mary, by Felicia Olin, which is on the cover of my book on the Black Moon, to emphasize the point of the upcoming month. I am aware that most of the painting is cut off and shows only her mouth, but this is significant also. This report may be a little much for some people to accept. Over the upcoming month, Sophia, the goddess embodied as the planet, is going to speak to each of us - directly. This means everyone on Earth. Most, however, will not be tuned in to hear. This is almost too much to comprehend right now. It is a radical change from the past three months - which have been the set-up for this. Can you fathom the magnitude of this? Sophia is now in constant communication with her fellow gods in the Galactic Center. They are all collaborating to help Sophia and her creation-experiment (us) succeed.

So what is Sophia going to say to us? Whatever we need to lift us up and into the upgraded frequency range that was inititated at the turning point in mid-July and whatever else we need to heal us (mainly of our core fear - the issues of our natal Black Moon). We've been reeling since then, waiting for things to re-form and come into shape. If you remember, I said things had already re-formed, we just hadn't adapted enough to integrate it or bring it into consciousness. Some of us have integrated the upgrade to some degree and some of us are still in process. This energy is going to resolve issues or problems that resulted from the turning point (if we aren't trying to avoid the real issue or holding on to the past). Things always look different by the end of the lunar month, but this is especially true for this month because of all that has happened in the last couple of months.

There is one thing that we must do in order to be "tuned in" to hear: we must maintain the highest integrity. Sophia communicates through the heart and an innocent and pure heart is what is required for the full benefit of this. However, innocence and purity does not mean perfect. The intention is what is meant here. One thing I want to make clear: in no way does this mean that we allow anyone or anything (darker energies) to move us off center because we mistakenly believe that type of action or defense isn't innocent. You would not be reading or resonating with this site if there wasn't a part of you that recognized that there are other forces at work in the world.

Wise owls easily maneuver into defense and hunting when needed, but otherwise we are going to fold into a childlike heart full of imagination. Sophia's imagination is beyond genius. It's fun for her. She likes to play. So the lighter you can make yourself, the better your insightful communication will be. We are going to work on holding ourselves to the highest standards this month so that we can get the full benefit of the upgrade. I will be able to explain this more clearly as the month progresses.

I will tell you now that this is going to require effort. Saturn is going to move into Scorpio on October 5th. This is going to be a big day that ushers in a long transit, and we are going to need to watch events closely. At the same time we are holding the highest of intentions, we will be banding together energetically in service of the planet. The Illuminati (and all the other names you want to call those forces) worship Saturn, and Saturn's entry into Pluto's Domain of the Underworld (Scorpio) is going to be intense, aggressive, and restrictive - for lack of better words. It's all about power and control. Mars in Scorpio has been preparing the ground for Saturn in Scorpio. The upgrade to our energy fields is exactly what is going to shield us from all of the hijinks and destructive alchemy of Saturn in Scorpio. Enough said for now, but be aware because this is already in play.

Let's end this on the main theme: direct personal communication with Sophia to lift us up to the frequency that was enacted in July and resolve issues of the core fear. (Note: the Sabian symbol for the New Moon is Mary and her white lamb. Mary is Sophia and each of us is the white lamb.)

Friday, September 14, 2012

I am having difficulties with this web server, preventing me from posting a report yesterday and losing Wednesday's report. Sorry about that. This is my second try today, so let's see if it works. This picture was sent by dear Anja, who is as beautiful an owl as this one. Today brings powerful emotions and energies that do not need to be extinguished or suppressed, but skillfully expressed for the purpose of self-mastery and discipline. Control your animal instincts and use the wildness to your benefit. Have faith and courage in your abilities. If there is something you've wanted to start, the position of Venus breathes life into all types of creations. It's a day where truly amazing things can be made from nothing. The negative end of this energy is boasting or showing off or believing that the direction of things is solely dependent on you. If you experienced a loss during the July-August "turning point" it is important to respect and grieve the loss now. Don't plunge past it. This is the moon phase where we release and prepare for the new energy of the New Moon. Remember that this past month has been "after a dark storm, the rainbow." If your rainbow isn't fully in view yet, the colors will begin to show as the grief lifts. Much more this weekend, so check back.

Wednesday, September 12, 2012

Today our minds are concerned with bigger questions. Even simple issues will be seen against the background of something greater. Patterns are becoming more visible, especially patterns where we have acted in accordance to what we think we deserve. This is happening to change our perspective. What is best for you? This is what we are confronted with today. There is a big answer to this and it speaks to the core of who we are. This relates directly to the Black Moon entering Gemini. It doesn't matter if your Black Moon is in Gemini or not. This is being experienced at the collective level by everyone to some degree. From my book:
Tuesday, September 11, 2012

The Black Moon in Gemini is the core fear of rejection. People pleasers, those with this placement are often left us wondering what it is they themselves like and dislike. This shadow manifests as a need to make decisions or act in accordance with whatever gains acceptance from others. It is damaging to the soul to pursue a life that others wish for us, as it comes at the expense of the expression of individual talents. Action based on or motivated by another leads to a suppression of the true self. It is a great disservice not to explore who we really are. It is also dangerous to "over-do" for others in hopes that they will like or approve or keep us; ultimately it leads to burn out. At the other end of the spectrum, this placement causes sudden and severe reactions to anything that hints at potential rejection, often causing serious challenges with relationships because we will reject someone before they can reject us. The Black Moon in Gemini will bail out too early or stay way too long.

With the Black Moon in Gemini, it is necessary to face the need for others' approval. Each of us has something special to offer the world. What is important is not if others approve of us, but if we approve of ourselves. That sounds very cliché, but with Black Moon in Gemini we need to provide our own approval. When you are able to consciously put yourself on the line to be rejected, intending that the outcome will not hinder your spirit, you will have regained the power that is trapped in the shadow side. When the shadow is healed, rejection ceases to be an issue because inner acceptance has been achieved - creating a wealth of talent that is available to the world.

As mentioned yesterday, today's energy is extremely intense. Because it is September 11th, the day is already imprinted with emotions of the past, but the Black Moon moving into Gemini, Mercury and the Sun conjunct, and something impacting Jupiter bring perpetual motion and restlessness today. Anything goes and anything can happen today and it will come from out of the blue. There is a pervasive and underlying feeling of needing to move on to new ways of thinking and doing things. New ventures undertaken today have a great deal of power to them because the momentum that is in today's energy will "mark" and sustain them indefinitely. This gives you an idea of the scope of what we are working with. It's like a rip current. So when there's a rip current, you swim parallel to and with the current - not against it. The tendency is to fight energy like this because the restlessness of it makes sensitive people very uncomfortable. It "damages our calm" so to speak. Usually we stand outside the energy and witness, but today we are going to immerse ourselves in it and swim with its direction. Resistance to anything that is happening will only create problems. Tomorrow, after this energy moves on, I will discuss what the Black Moon moving into Gemini means.

Monday, September 10, 2012

Today we will see that certain situations that seem to be on a strong foundation are actually teetering on the the edge. Along with this, there is an extreme level of competitiveness present. Adhering to formality (formal rules of behavior and engagement) will give the advantage. Today is the last full day that the Black Moon is in Taurus. This means that issues related to how secure/safe people feel is an underlying theme. This weekend I mentioned that things were going to begin to re-form with the Third Quarter Moon phase. As the Moon phase progresses, we will see glimpses of this. Tomorrow's energy is intense and a lot is happening so make sure you check back then.

Saturday, September 8 - Sunday, September 9, 2012

Saturday brings catharsis. Things that have been held inside will have trouble remaining that way because they are being forced out. This could be in the form of anger, an explosion of ideas, or laying feelings out on the table. It's important to let this happen because it cannot be resisted any longer. But with this, we need to make sure the release is truly related to what we think it is. Is it that situation or is it really another one? Some will respond to this energy by throwing tantrums. Sometimes a tantrum is exactly what is needed to clear the air. With all of this, do not place emphasis on the way things appear on the outside. It is what is inside that is important. Don't get caught in a trap of insecurity based on images and appearances.

Sunday's energy has us seeking answers. We are on a quest to learn or understand something, especially where the changes since the "turning point" and the subsequent month of reformation are leading. This is the beginning of our understanding of what everything has been about. It's going to take a while longer to see the new forms things are taking, but clarity begins to break through today. We start to see how we are being guided and protected as things re-form. Remember the Sabian symbol at the New Moon? It was "after a dark storm, a rainbow." Sunday begins the Third Quarter Moon phase - technically the last phase of the month. The rainbow is on the way. We should not expect things to be completely in place and concrete, but it is the beginning of that. The energetic changes from mid-July took place at the deepest levels. Manifestation of those changes in our lives will take a good bit of time.

As I mentioned on Friday, this is an especially strong time for communication with Mother Earth. Signs and symbols in the form of nature will abound.

Friday, September 7, 2012

Lots of things are happening today:

it is a good day to renew bonds with people (especially old friends)
people of like mind will naturally come together and unify for shared purposes
anyone who is only comfortable in the past and not changing with the cycle will find the energy difficult
curiosity will lead to something important for the future
confrontations and clashes between people who are coming from totally different places (light or dark) are indicated through Saturday (this started yesterday - I had a major confrontation with an individual who masks as a kind person; this had been building for two months)
one person's bad energy has too much potential to affect many (spread like an epidemic); on the positive side, one person's good energy does the same
inspired realizations will bring a sense of release and relief

But most importantly today, spend some time outside to connect with our higher power (Sophia) and pay attention to what you see. Signs and symbols from nature will be more prominent than usual today and tomorrow. Today and tomorrow are visual days and a special ones for Sophia (for more information you can listen to John Lash's audio (NB 22) here. Find beauty. It will help with any difficulties that emerge.

Thursday, September 6, 2012

I have been writing daily energetic reports for many years. I am no stranger to the borderlands of light and dark, and on a daily basis (in my day job and with my Oracle Report work) I endeavor to bring light into the dark. In all of these years, I have never seen the conditions that we have been under since the middle of July. If you have been following these reports since then, you know that we hit a hinge point at that time and things began to dramatically change. Since the middle of August (with the New Moon) we have been going along not knowing what was going on. We have been floating through the days, watching and waiting for things to come back into shape. This has been very unnerving and it has left us feeling somewhat "displaced." The saving grace has been 1) knowledge that things were going to change and be in flux and 2) knowledge that grounding ourselves with the planet (Sophia) would keep us sane while others came unhinged. People have come undone, no doubt about it. Everyone has to some degree or another. But there is a purpose to this: correction. We have been energetically dismantled in order to be reshaped into something different and something better. I have tried to relate this message since July. If you remember, prior to the "turning point" in mid-July, we worked on creating a space for something new to enter. I did not capture the full essence of what was happening then, although I do think it helped to prepare us as much as possible. What we created was a connection with our Source (Sophia), which was an opening for her to enter. She did and she put things in their proper order. The configuration of our energetic fields was changed. When we change on the inside, our outside world changes - but it takes time for this to happen. That's what's been going on since July. The "reconfiguration" was so deep and so thorough that it is taking at least this long for things to come back together in their new form. It will take through the Third Quarter Moon phase of this month (around September 12), but it may take longer. I do not know yet. Today's report serves only to clarify what has been happening. I don't have much else to say, other than even though it has been difficult, it will be better. This much I know for sure and I hope that it brings you some sense of comfort if you are struggling (as many who have written me are). If you are doing pretty well, well then lend a hand to someone in need. (Note: Today the Moon will make the last conjunction with the Black Moon while it is in Taurus. This will press to the surface all of the issues that I discussed in this report, so be aware that this is happening.)

Wednesday, September 5, 2012

Today involves a certain level of distortion in matters. There is a broad range to this, so you may experience it in a small way or in a bigger way. Some will present an image or attitude that is superficial or in some way not honest, so don't automatically take things at face value. Uranus and the astrological body known as Pallas Athena meet up in the sky today. Interestingly, Venus, which spends its last full day in Cancer today, is located at the degree known as "a Greek muse weighing newborn twins in golden scales." So there is a lot of Greek goddess energy today and what it is saying is that new situations are being divinely directed and created. (Remember that this month is the month where things take a different form.) It also says that if you are facing some kind of choice or decision, ask yourself if the choices are really the same thing. Do the alternatives actually lead to the same outcome? This energy causes us to make comparisons with all types of things, but what we don't tend to see are the similarities. If you need to do something important, it's better to wait until things become clearer because of the distortions that are present. Keep this in mind if something is stressing or pressing you.

Wise owls are called upon today to bring balance and equilibrium to situations. Things get out of control today and those who are able to keep their wits by understanding that we are in the last years of the Kali Yuga- the time of balance and enlightmentment - will be able to keep things on track today. So you have a mission. Nothing special is required other than being yourself and using your energy to sway things when they turn negative. Most likely it will be important to bridge the gap or go against the status quo to bring in new and innovative elements. Wise owls are nothing if not charming, and this is what saves the day today. The Black Moon is in the last degree of Taurus. It will move into Gemini on the night of September 11th. Until then, fears about safety and security are dominant. The Black Moon is traveling alongside the South Node right now, meaning it is bringing up things from the past (past lives even). Situations that are happening now are hold-overs from the distant past that are trying to come to resolution. It is important not to force things with this energy. It needs to resolve itself without impetus from us. (Today's picture is from the auroras over the Yukon produced by the CME that is in effect. Photo by J. Tucker from spaceweather.com.)

Today is the last day of the Full Blue Moon phase. If you recall, Blue Moons take emotions to a whole new extreme. In addition, we are in the process of a strong solar magnetic storm from a coronal mass eruption (CME) from last Friday. So events that took place on Friday are re-experienced today as the wave of that energy fully impacts us. Today centers on commitment. Some are not quite ready to give themselves fully to a situation, but they really have no choice. If they don't go along willingly, they will be pulled along. It's time to take the plunge with something. In the process of all of this, true motives, intentions, and identities come to light on this last day of the Full Blue Moon. Understand that this theme is not relegated strictly to commitments within relationships. This involves commitments to many types of things. It's about people/us proving themselves/ourselves without excuses or pretense and breaking down walls that keep them/us from relating on deeper levels. All of this would be entirely manageable if the position of Venus today wasn't such that brings heightened potential for arguments and feeling completely out of control. And the CME definitely amps things up. To assuage this, remember that things are in the process of re-forming. This means that final forms are not set so there is no need to think the story ends today. It doesn't. The best thing to do is take the stance of witness and watch what happens as if you were watching an artist at work. The goddess embodied as the planet is the artist in control of this. The more we give over control, the easier this will be.

Saturday, September 1 - Sunday, September 2, 2012

Saturday's energy involves dualities which can cause confusion and foggy vision. We see the parts of things, but not the entire picture. If we overthink things, the two hemispheres of our brains will go into a loop that can drive us crazy. We will naturally see two sides of situations, but we need to look beyond this and into the light. On Sunday, the tendency is to live up to the expectations of others. It is important to abide by your own spirit with this. We must reflect the path that our Source is projecting for us - not the path that others are projecting for us. If you remember, on August 23 I discussed Mars' entry into Scorpio: this is going to reform/refine our level of personal power. Scorpio is the energy of transformation! But since its ruler, Pluto, is the ruler of the Underworld, the transformation will come from a deep level and there may be other things hidden deep below that come up with it. This factor is what brings in the feelings of anxiety and fear. The hard part is standing by (letting it be) while the transformation occurs. Remember, everything is changing form now - everything - but it is leading to something better. By the time Mars enters Sagittarius on October 8, we will be much stronger individuals - physically, mentally, and spiritually. It's a spiral sort of process. This is the real thing that is happening with this weekend's energy. It serves to strengthen us. This outcome is good for our everyday lives, but more importantly, it makes our connection with Gaia/Sophia stronger. We come into closer range with her vision, making direct communication faster and easier. This is a great gift.

In the Northern Hemisphere, this weekend is the traditional end of summer. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the traditional end of winter. Both are causes for celebration, but Mars in Scorpio and the proximity of the Earth and the Sun to Chiron make it difficult to be light and carefree. It's heavy energy. Roll with it, knowing that the "down" times are serving the purpose of strength. Some will go deeply into the Underworld with this energy and that's ok because all journeys to the Underworld end in the hero returning with a reward.

Friday, August 31, 2012

Today is the Blue Moon (the second Full Moon of the month). Blue Moons cause emotions to run full spectrum, vacillating from one extreme to the other. They also cause us to have the utmost clarity into situations. But we can't forget that Full Moons are due to the placement of the Sun and Earth, and since the Earth is conjunct Chiron (and opposing the Sun), our emotional responses and the clarity that is being bestowed is doing two things: wounding and healing. Stay in the prsent moment today. The clarity is bringing foresight, but we need to focus on the here and now because too much projection into the future is going to get us off track. Don't be tempted to chase something. Remember that things are still in the process of re-forming; nothing is set in stone. (Photo taken this morning by J. Chumack, Dayton, Ohio, posted on spaceweather.com.)

Tuesday, August 28, 2012

Most days I discuss how we can be of service to others and to the planet, but today is about how we are of service to ourselves. There is a tendency for people to dominate others, and we want to counter this by focusing only on what we need to do. What do you choose today? Don't wait around for someone else to give their acceptance or approval. Stand up and stand out for whatever you want. This is an important part of the re-formation that is taking place this month because it is where we put our own desire or "stamp" on the process. Light a candle and make some sort of statement about your intentions. If you aren't someone who is good at putting yourself into the equation (meaning you tend to put others before yourself) you are going to need to put that aside today. The only ways that will work today are ways where we are taking care of ourselves.

Monday, August 27, 2012

Today is interesting because we are able to see things we haven't seen before. The keyword for today is vision (symbolized by the hawk). There's the familiar - things we've seen and understood before - and there are new things that that we see and understand because we have a wider perspective or lens. This is a result of the big upgrade to our personal energetic fields that happened last month and the re-forming of situations into something new that is happening this month. The ability to directly communicate with our higher Source has been strongly amplified. This "alignment" with the mind of the planet is a great blessing. It enables us to see things we didn't see before. When I write "see" I mean literally "see" with our eyes and "see" meaning to understand or being enlightened to. Aha moments are insightful.

Today, attention/energy will go directly for what is beautiful - beautiful ideas, beautiful hearts, beautiful dedication, beautiful acts of kindness, beautiful creations, beautiful words, beautiful souls, etc. At some point today, we will have the choice to do something the same way or a little bit differently now that we see things from a wider point of view.

Saturday, August 25 - Sunday, August 26, 2012

This weekend's energy is like walking through the mists of Avalon. There is a predominance of mutable and watery astrological energy, which heightens intuition and creativity, as well as strengthening links with the spirit realm. It is wonderfully calming if you are one who goes with the flow, but if you are trying to structure or control things, it will cause emotional difficulties. The best bet is to be on a mental vacation this weekend because the energy favors escapism. Be careful of overindulging in anything (especially alcohol) because it is easy to get lost. This weekend's energy is highly emotional. Feelings will run the gamut and can spill out like water. But as we span the emotional spectrum, the spectrum of the colors of the rainbow are forming. The planet is using this energy to reform and correct things (situations in our lives). Last month was the Turning Point and this month is The Reformation. We are witnessing a great master painting her masterpiece. The keyword is "painting" - as a verb, meaning that it is in process. It can be unsettling when we want things settled. But we want the best possible outcome so we must float along while it's happening. Resistance is futile this weekend, so continue to let go and let Gaia and don't force anything.

Friday, August 24, 2012

Everything that I wrote yesterday is still in effect, so you may want to go to the Archives and re-read the report. There is a major addition today, however. Our two guardian angels are protecting, guiding, and directing us. Those two guardian angels are the Earth and the Sun and this photograph of the auroras last night by A. Spencer in Iceland (reposted from spaceweather.com) is a graphic demonstration of this. Solar windstreams and the atmosphere of Earth combine to paint the auroras. Today, Sophia and the Sun (who are a team) intervene in the experiment (us) and will soften the energy. Nothing should be rushed today. "Ways" are going to be shown to us. Be on the lookout for things in two's, particularly animals, birds, and insects. This is how the planet will make herself known and remind us that we are under her care and protection. One thing I can't say often enough this month: everything is changing form. This makes it almost impossible to grasp and understand what is happening (because things are still in the process of metamorphosis/transformation). The only thing we can do is follow along and hold the vision that what is really happening is we are changing. (Actually, we already changed last month with the "upgrade" to our energetic fields. Now our bodies and our material world have to catch up. We've already become what we were changed into - we just haven't figured it out yet/adjusted to it/accepted it.) There's no going back. Some of us are handling this better than others of us. But what's here now/ahead is better, merely by the fact that the upgrade made it easier for us to communicate and consciously participate with the planet in her vision and correction - but also by proxy in our everyday lives. Walk around today with the comfort of knowing that we are protected by our two guardians. And it is always good to give thanks.

Thursday, August 23, 2012

Today's energy requires skillful maneuvering by wise old owls. Mars will enter Scorpio and our bodies may interpret the shift through feelings of anxiety or heightened fears. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and the combination of Mars and Pluto has the potential to get pretty ugly; therefore we energetically register the shift from harmonious Libra to domineering Scorpio. This doesn't mean Mars' transit through Scorpio is going to be a negative experience. As I mentioned yesterday, this is going to reform/refine our level of personal power. Scorpio is the energy of transformation! But since its ruler, Pluto, is the ruler of the Underworld, the transformation will come from a deep level and there may be other things hidden deep below that come up with it. This factor is what brings in the feelings of anxiety and fear. The hard part is standing by (letting it be) while the transformation occurs. Remember, everything is changing form now - everything - but it is leading to something better. By the time Mars enters Sagittarius on October 8, we will be much stronger individuals - physically, mentally, and spiritually. It's a spiral sort of process. People are going to respond to this shift of Mars by attaching to the aggressive, war-like aspect of the energy and this is often felt most strongly the day a planet changes signs. So this is where wise owls use wisdom to witness but not react. The Sun has moved into Virgo, opposing Neptune, making the next couple of days highly spiritual. This is the time when you want to turn on your conversation with our Source, the living planet. To faciliate this, let go and let Gaia (Sophia). Mars in Scorpio brings in a lot of control issues, but as we engage more fully with the planet, we come to realize that we are not in control at all. We seek only to align with the vision of the planet and assist in her fulfillment of that vision. In this way the pressure is off. We follow along in service to a higher order. There's a lot happening today. When too many people around becomes too much, seek some solitude; but when too much isolation becomes heavy, seek out your Source. Wise owls know this happens outdoors.

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

Today's energy asks us to see the true features - the reality - of situations. Today is the last day that Mars will be in the sign of Libra. While Mars has been in Libra, we've been concerned with finding and bringing balance to how we use our energy. As Mars moves into Scorpio, we are going to change the way we use our personal power. Remember that this month things are changing form to suit the energetic changes to our bodies that took place last month with the shifting points. The outcome of the reformation is for the better - like the rainbow after the storm. There's another theme at work here and it is the idea of bounty. The photograph above was taken last night by S. Ahmad in Malaysia (posted on the spaceweather gallery). What you cannot see in this picture (because the box automatically crops it) is the triple conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and the brightest star in the Virgo constellation - Spica. You can see the full photograph here. Spica has a special association with the Goddess (and the form of Mother Mary) and with abundance and fertility. This conjunction of Mars, Saturn, and Spica is embracing us and whispering to us to let things be while they change their forms. Everything must change form now. You might get off track of "let it be" if you over-indulge in ANYTHING today (food, drink, vanity, negativity, fear, self-importance, self-pity...). There is a fast remedy for this however: the goddess Sophia. She is ready and waiting for us to stop in mid-track and surrender the need to act - to let it be. After all, there needs to be time for the rainbow to form. (Note: Many thanks to the Oracle Report facebook community for their good wishes yesterday.)

Tuesday, August 21, 2012

Today is the day of the brave heart. All of the aspects in place today make it an ideal day for communicating and sharing ideas, thoughts, and feelings. Is there a message you want to send or something you want others to understand? What do you want to share or open? Along with this, however, today carries a feeling of exposure or vulnerability, particularly if we think we have been too trusting with something/someone. We are wearing our hearts on our sleeves and we can't hide it. The Sun has two more days in Leo, the sign that rules the heart. What do you need to be brave about? The energy is supporting us in this.

Monday, August 20, 2012

Something is going to form (re-form) or come together today. To facilitate this, strength of will and character is needed. We tend to want to feel in control of ourselves and our environment, and this mix of energy is what will alchemize something for useable reality. A degree of flexibility is required to keep the form malleable, as is an openness or willingness to extend ourselves to others. Some people will respond to this energy through aggression or being overbearing or feeling that they are better than others. There is an element of competition to this that should not be acted upon. Everyone's creations are unique. For those who are still coming out of the dark, the energy is trying to help you let go of the situation. Don't persist with problems that have been solved.

Saturday, August 18 - Sunday, August 19, 2012

This weekend, after a very long wait, the time has finally come for new beginnings. This is especially true if something has been sacrificed or removed from your life over the last month. Light is returning and the movement is forward, but some may have a hard time letting go. This is ok because some people have been so deeply in the dark that more time for transition is needed. It may be more gradual for some than others, but regardless it is forward movement. New ideas, new perspectives, and new realizations are emerging. There is a strong element of self-care that goes along with all of this. Sunday's energy is much faster and mental that it may make your head spin or give you a headache. It may generate some degree of confusion. We need to relax and gain a little more perspective until things settle out. Our energy can easily become scattered and we can become overwhelmed or immobilzed. Sunday is not a good day to make big decisions because truth is hard to make out amongst all of the information. We need to find simplicity within Sunday's energy. But in the midst of Sunday's energy, remember that this month is like the rainbow after a strong storm and the colors are developing.

Friday, August 17, 2012

The New Moon enters at 11:54 am EDT/ 3:54 pm UTC today and the the shift in energy will be palpable. We are wonderfully blessed with the relief that this will bring. The Sabian symbol for the degree of the New Moon is "after a heavy storm, a rainbow." "A heavy storm" pretty much sums up that last month and the turning point/breaking point theme. A release from the stress and intensity we've felt is on its way this month. The light of the spectrum of the rainbow returns to infuse our spirits. Darkness - in the form of people, places, things, thoughts, mindsets - will abate if we are willing to let it. We've been clearly shown what is no longer in resonance with us and now it is time to heal from those things. We will be re-formed, re-done, re-arranged and we will look very different by the next New Moon. (Note: Our Source [Sophia] uses the power of beauty this month and the color of choice is red so be on the lookout for this.)

Thursday, August 16, 2012

Today's energy is more complex than one would hope for the last day of a Balsamic phase (New Moon starts tomorrow). This is going to require us to be proficient at shape-shifting, like a butterfly. The day will evolve in stages for us. There's a wild and unpredictable quality also, as Venus squares Uranus. Here are the things that are happening, any of which you may experience today:

You may feel like you still have a little ways to go on an already arduous journey. The key to this is endurance. Self-sufficiency and mental self-control are needed. Rely on yourself, not others in situations that prove taxing. Try to extend your resources (in other words, don't get too emotional about any one thing; keep some energy in reserve and pace yourself).
If faced with a choice or problem, the best solution is a combination of past and future. Bring the best of past situations forward. You don't have to disregard everything about something just because the end result didn't work out.
If you struggle with maintaining focus today, follow where you attention is leading you. Something may pique your curiosity or seem mesmerizing/alluring. This situation is happening to widen your perception.
The most important one: The upcoming month is about re-formation and self-care. Events unfolded last month to change the form, shape, and structure of relationships, situations, and circumstances. Now these things will shape shiftinto new forms. This is nothing less than the alchemy of Gaia/Sophia. If you are a skilled, shape-shifting wise owl, you will try to attach to the FUN of participating in the shape-shift - watching things transform - instead of attaching to the FEAR of unknown outcomes. We are on a journey where the sights change - a grand voyage. Can you shift with the shift? Can you do so gracefully?

This is the best I can do with today's report. The nature of the energy is changeable, making analysis only semi-accurate, since the final forms are in process. Engage your inner shaman and be the butterfly.

Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Today's energy shows us an imbalance - a place where we may have put something on hold in favor of something else. In addition, the astrological aspects that marked yesterday's energy (Venus opposing Pluto and Mars conjunct Saturn) are still in effect, with control dynamics and obsessivesness in the mix. Although the Sun is relatively quiet, today's energy works heavily on the physical body, so you may be aware of some aches or pains. It is important to take care of your body today; stretch and take a walk if possible. This energy seeks to balance the burden this past month took on our emotional bodies. As everything changes form around us (the lingering effect of the past month of intense cardinal energy), we need to work on our own forms. Our own structure need strengthening. Don't make the mistake of thinking the physical body is inferior to the mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies. We are grounded to the planet through our physical bodies. The "upgrade" of the last month affected us on all levels. Today, as we continue through the quiet, dreamy, mystical Balsamic phase, we are focused on shifting forms.

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

Today's energy brings in 1) the dynamics of control in all its forms, and 2) the tendency toward obsession. Some people will demonstrate their perceived personal mastery in an attempt to control situations. People who try to show off, impress, or dominate are going to fall head first (but not necessarily today). Wise owls that follow these reports have no interest in the need to control. The only thing we want to master is our alignment with the Divine Will of the goddess Sophia. In this way, our lives are no longer our own. We surrender to the magic of the goddess' dreaming. The power and control plays that are enacted today will only drive us off our mission this Balsamic Moon phase if we become mired in them. Right now we are supposed to be releasing the past and what has changed for us. It is a time of quiet acceptance. It is a time to communicate with the planet herself. Remember that the planet is "correcting" not only us but also herself. This may help as we strive toward acceptance today. Walk with humility, keep your intentions pure, and be aware that new structures are forming around you. This is needed to counter the predominant negative effects that are present today. It is our job to maintain the integrity, beauty, and spiritual softness of this most blessed Balsamic Moon phase. We are seven thousand strong and our efforts are meaningful.

Monday, August 13, 2012

Today begins the Balsamic Moon phase that will be like none before it. As I discussed over the weekend, Balsamic Moon phase is the time when the physical world and the world of Spirit (the Divine Mind) are closest in communication. It is time to be quiet and go within to seek what you need, especially if you need guidance or direction because guidance and direction are the theme for the day. We are working on strengthening the lines of communication between us and the divine being embodied as the planet. There aren't a whole lot of people who understand who she is and what she is doing (fulfilling her vision for humanity) so when someone who "gets it" engages in dialog with her, she takes notice. Again, it is a resonance thing. When you are resonating with her and her purpose, communication is easier. As the communication becomes stronger and clearer, you'll notice that she responds via signs of nature, particularly white animals and various animals with wings (birds, etc.).

The Moon has moved into Cancer for the second time this month. This makes for an emotional day, with fears about how well we are supported (physically, financially, emotionally, and all other types of support). There is a tendency to feel expendable. If you feel this way it is important to devote some energy toward feeling more secure. It usually just means putting in a little effort. Also, masks will be taken off today and we will need to handle what we see. Keep in mind that the resonance factor (drawing things that are alike and separating from things that are unalike) is still very strongly at play.

Saturday, August 11 - Sunday, August 12, 2012

We remain in the Third Quarter phase of the Sun, Moon, and Earth throughout the weekend. Third Quarter phases are actually the last phase of the energy that was "seeded" or present back during the New Moon phase, the New Moon in Cancer on July 19th - the month of the massive cardinal energy that turned things in other directions. Third Quarter Moon phases are configured for reassessing. They give us the chance to see what we need to do differently. We see that the form of some things must change. This can be a wondrous thing and it can be a sad thing, depending on the emotions attached to what has changed. This is all about resonance. It's electro-magnetic. If you are reading this site, you can't deny that a wave of change swept through the collective over the past month of turning points! We watched it and felt it. This was a wave generated by the location of the Earth in the sky (and the angles it was making to the planets) and the power of the Sun. So now we are able to understand the resonance factor in all that has transpired this month. We are beginning to see where things truly belong in our lives. Saturday is shamanic energy par excellence. Sunday's energy is rapid and buzzy and will really engage the brain's processes. (Remember that the brain is a receiver/transmitter.) The Universe is going to engage minds on Sunday, so we want to "ground" that by being outside and conscious of the natural world. As this is being written, the yellow bird that was on yesterday's photo just showed up. I don't even recall seeing that bird in these parts before. True story.

Here's a look ahead at where this is going: Monday begins the Balsamic phase. This is the phase that prepares the way for the new energy of the Sun, Moon, and Earth. It is a spiritual time - a time when we are quieter and receptive. We easily tune in to the mind of Gaia (and the minds of the Galactic Center since they are now in communication). The Moon will pass through the end of Gemini and oppose the Galactic Center on Sunday, August 12 around 9:00 pm EDT/ Monday, August 13th at 1:00 am UTC, opening things up full throttle. This receptive time will continue with a big upgrade on Wednesday, and will then filter into the New Moon on Friday.

Friday, August 10, 2012

Today brings the potential to be unanchored or untethered or unleashed from things. This may bring feelings of discomfort or sweet relief. If you experience the discomfort end, remember that a correction is underway to bring things into closer aligment with a grander plan and that we are never unanchored from our Spiritual Source, Gaia-Sophia. If you experience the relief end, you are ready to embark on the next phase of your life, which will bring things that are completely unforeseen right now. If you are in the middle part of the spectrum, experiencing neither emotion, stay close to your path and enjoy the feeling of equilibrium. Every day is a day to find and enjoy simple pleasures and treasures, but today this is especially true. It's the little things that matter.

Thursday, August 9, 2012

Today is an alchemical day, meaning that things will mix together to turn into a higher form. Our energetic fields or "frequencies" are the main product of this transformation, but when we change energetically, our lives follow suit. We find ourselves in a new energetic place - we've hinged from our old position into a new one. This has been quite difficult for many. Andrew F, who moderates the Oracle Report Facebook community, sent me a question from a member of the group wondering why communication with someone dear to her still seemed under the influence of Mercury retrograde. My response was that the issue isn't communication. The issue is that the Turning Point changed energetic frequencies and people have gone out of resonance with each other. They no longer "synch up." You can think of this as if people are now in different realities and no amount of communication is going to bridge the gap because this is an energetic change and there are universal laws in play. But there is a second side to this. The universe does not withdraw us from certain things without drawing us toward other things - better things. Also, this does not preclude people making the "jump in frequency" at some point in the future and synching up again, but reality must be accepted for what it is now.

We are participating with the living planet to complete the vision she held for humanity eons ago. This involves periodic "upgrades" to the experiment - one of which we just experienced. If you are following this site, you are consciously engaged in this process. You've made a heart connection with the goddess. Being on the front lines - the first wave - of such a project, means you are a groundbreaker, a trailblazer, and this is different. It isn't so much that it is hard work, it is more like surrendering to the truth. The more we give in to and trust the process, the stronger our connection becomes with Sophia and the more active we become in her plan. Today. embrace the wonder that comes from new discovery from our new vantage point in the experiment. Understand that an alchemical change is taking place to put us in position to be of greater service. (The frequency or mindset that we hold and the things that result from that state of being are how we are of service.)

Wednesday, August 8, 2012

Today it is important to spend some time with people of like-mind. New people you meet may turn out to be more like-minded than you know. This is because the principle of "like attracts like" is strongly in effect. Whereas the turning point shifted us away from situations that were no longer in our highest and best interests (i.e., the ultimate vision that Mother Earth held for her creation), this energy is bringing us into resonance or closer contact with people, places, and things that are "correct" for us. The vital powers of the Earth are rising up. In kind, we are uplifted. Today is a day to stand tall and not be dissuaded or blocked in your forward movement.

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

Energetically, the effects of Mercury retrograde will begin to wane as Mercury stations direct today (sources disagree about the exact time that it moves direct, but today is the final energy). Hiccups with telecommunications are still possible. The shift in energy is also due to Venus entering Cancer, which will help calm things down. The Sun is in the middle of Leo, located at the degree known as "brilliant sunshine just after a storm." Today, emotional equilibrium and the ability to effectively communicate begin to return. The air is clearing and things that have been blocking or clogging up situations will begin to move off. Plasma from the solar magnetic filament that was released on Saturday reaches us today (although we feel the effects the minute it is released from the Sun - today is when the wave directly hits Earth). Another magnetic filament has been suspended above the surface of the Sun for days. When it is collapses, it will release another wave of plasma. These filaments are magentic. I believe what is hapenning is that the Sun and Earth are conspiring to magnetically attract whatever is attractive now that the turning point - the shift point, hinge point, breaking point - has ended. "Like attracts like" is strongly in effect and will increase when the other filament releases. So the thing to do is watch how all of this magnetism pulls you toward things that are now in your newly-upgraded field of resonance. There are remnants of fear that are lingering from all that has happened over the last several weeks, but this needs to be set aside. Remember the space that we cleared inside ourselves in preparation for the turning point? That space will now begin to be filled.

Monday, August 6, 2102

Today is the last day of Mercury's retrograde. It will station direct at 2:07 am EDT (6:07 am UTC) tomorrow. This has been an especially difficult Mercury retrograde, coming during the Turning Point when things changed for everyone. It has made communication very difficult and has amplified the anger that Mars, Pluto, and Uranus have caused to swell. Today, in order to avoid frustration and setting ourselves up for distress, be aware that there isn't much we are going to be able to do about things. We are immobilized with neither mental or physical control. It's also a challenge between closing off areas of life or overplaying them. This will all pass tomorrow, but resisting it today will only make things more difficult. Emotional reactions are going to be hard to contain, and people will become fired up very easily. But don't suppress your emotions either, because this will have health consequences. We can feel our emotions without acting them out. If you are struggling, as many who are writing to me right now are, and the pain is too much to bear, go outside and give it to our higher power. The Earth is what is causing this recalibration to our energetic fields (our DNA, our frequency - however you want to put it), and she knows what it is like for us. It's a process that must happen, so surrender to it today as much as possible. Don't make final decisions today. Tomorrow's energy will be much different and will offer a fresh perspective.

Friday, August 3 - Sunday, August 5, 2012

There isn't anything more I can write about this weekend's post that I didn't write about on Friday; however, you may find that your ideas about yesterday's post evolve. In other words, what you read yesterday may "read" differently to you on Saturday and Sunday. The lucky thing is the energy is still in effect and will be throughout the weekend. This is pure energy to create. This doesn't just mean artistic things, it means manifesting things in life. Who wouldn't want more time tto do that? Post from Friday, August 3, 2012:

Venus moves into opposition with the Galactic Center, the hub of creativity, today. Anytime a planet moves into this position it is amplified to maximum effect. This means that issues around the themes of Venus will dominate today: love, beauty, security, sexuality, needs, femininity, etc. But there are other things at play also, including gossip, selfishness, superficiality and sabotage of relationships. There is no need to pretend today; things just need to be what they are. The appearance of people, places, and things is not what is important. Today there is no guarantee of success with anything, but it is important to make an effort if we have any chance at success at getting what we want. Venus always brings up what we want, so don't disregard what you are drawn toward. We remain in the energy of the Full phase of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, and are continuing to deeply reflecting on things. If you want something badly enough, you will do something, however small, to get it. In addition to the Venus-Galactic Center aspect, the Moon will conjunct Neptune (both in Pisces), making this not only a highly spiritual day, but a highly creative one as well. Come from your heart in whatever you do - don't be lead astray.

Mercury retrograde is wreaking havoc on telecommunications and my ability to post this report! This is my second attempt. Nevertheless, we persevere. In all my years of montioring the Sun, I've never seen it do what it did on the last hit of the Turning Point (July 30/31): it released 15 minor solar flares within 18 hours. As I discussed then, the energy pounded us in long-standing, sustained waves (the imprinting). I am only mentioning this as corroboration that the Sun is engaged in what is happening. But the Turning Point has passed and today we continue to feel the relief.

I am painting a mental picture of today's energy because I could not find a photograph to capture it fully. Today's picture should be a swing suspended from an ancient oak tree. Most of the day, the swing is still. The energy is internal, not external, and indicative of the deep process of reflection that is underway. We are still and sturdy along with the oak tree. But sometime today it is important to swing with the joyous abandon that we experienced as children on a summer day - carefree, at One with the Sun, stabilized by the sturdy oak, and immersed in the feeling of the endless summer vacation. Remember that? We had a unique reliance on the stability of the ground beneath us. We felt rooted. This is what we re-engage today as we undertake reflection (alongside the Full Phase of the Sun, Moon, and Earth) of where we are now and what has changed for us. Don't worry today. Just reflect.

Today's Full Moon brings relief from the last four weeks, which I've labeled the Turning Point, as most of you know. The shift is over now. Many people have emailed me about what this time brought them and it has ranged from things that are "good" to things that appear "bad" on the surface: new jobs, new insights, new outlooks/frames of mind, new endeavors to new heartbreaks, new long nights of the soul, new pain. But everything had a purpose. Something needed to be revealed to each of us. If the shift has been a struggle for you (which it has for most) and you experienced a loss, it is now time to begin letting go of that situation. It's time to recognize that the problem has been solved. If the shift was more joyous for you, enjoy the feeling of refreshment. It's time for us to quietly reflect and adjust to the changes, Take in all that the Full Moon is illuminating for you.

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

If you missed yesterday's report or if you read it early in the day, you may want to go back and re-read it; the last hinge of this month's turning point was the strongest of all of them. So what has changed for you? Do you find yourself, surprisingly, at a point you least expected four weeks ago? Today's energy is delicate, like the flower pictured above, and it asks us to take proper care of things. It asks us to tread lightly. This is a counter to the ugliness that was exhibited yesterday, which was destructive and long-reaching. I wanted to find the most beautiful picture I could to remind us to be gentle today. Your mission today, should you choose to accept it, is to find the most beautiful thing you can. Look for it all day long. Look for something as beautiful as the last and do it all day. We must re-connect with love today and the way to do that is to be with the beauty of our mother planet through her creations (the animals, trees, birds, flowers, plants, sky...). A coronal mass ejection from Saturday's M-class flare glances Earth today, but only after it completely blows off Mercury's atmosphere. With Mercury retrograde, this means we must be very careful with our words. The CME is slow moving, so it delivers the Sun's energy as a long, sustained force. This will feel much different than the rapid-fire CMEs we have had lately. In other words, the changes we have experienced (inner change, outer change, changes in circumstances) will be pressed deep. I struggle to properly explain this. It is like the turning point turned us into warm wax and a seal is being pressed into us and held there to make a deep imprint. So we are faced today with remaining gentle while this is happening. Blow gently in the wind.

Monday, July 30, 2012

Most often I discuss the need to "ground" ourselves firmly with the planet, but today we need to take to the air - the atmosphere of the planet. This is because the ground is rocky and the energy of the last "Turning Point" is jarring, not smooth. This energy will bring out the worst in some and they will act ugly. Power issues and manipulativeness are enhanced. Some will act like spoiled children. It's a tidal wave of emotion that can leave us emotionally swamped. The key word here is power and all of its derivatives- powerful, powerless, super-powers, etc. Today we are going to choose to be the hero/heroine or wise old owl with "super-powers." Because it is the last hinge point, things (our mindets, needs, understanding, situations) will continue to change. It's like this month's final upgrade to our energetic fields. We need to engage the super-power of wisdom so that we can acknowledge the changes and not fall victim to the trap of finding only dissatisfaction. We need to engage the super-power of extreme flexibility so that we can adjust to the changes. We will need to engage the super-power of flight so that we can rise above the emotional tidal wave. We will need to enage the super-power of vision to see that we are indeed headed in the right direction. We will need to enage the super-power of telepathy and place our trust in the Divine Goddess of the Earth.

Today's energy is destructive, and it may surprise us by taking down something we thought was solid, but the story doesn't end today. Reconstruction will begin tomorrow. Changes and adjustments need to be made and this is the purpose of today's energy. We are going to sail high above it.

Saturday, July 28 - Sunday, July 29, 2012

The Sun catches up with Mercury, which is retrograde, this weekend, causing difficulties with interpersonal communications, telecommunications, travel, and electronic devices. In addition to "ruling" communications, Mercury is mental energy and its conjunction with the Sun has us looking at the big picture for ourselves. The trouble with this is we have one more hinge of the Turning Point coming up on Monday, so it really is too early to come to conclusions about our big pictures. While it will be nearly impossible to completely suspend mental chatter and analysis of where we are and where we are going (the Turning Point energy is changing our perspectives, perception, and directions), there isn't any point in obsessing over anything. We want the big picture but we won't have it until after Monday.

Things that happen this weekend have the potential to go deep and go too far. Don't let it get that way. This is a set-up for the Moon making the conjunction with Pluto on Monday - the final hit of the cardinal energy that has dominated this month. Stay in the present and attach to the lofty, supernatural energy of the Moon transiting Sagittarius. Learn something. Follow your heart's desire. The weekend's energy can take us into the muck or into the clouds. Our choice. Take a break and find the simple pleasures of life. Otherise, if you get in a hurry, Mercury is going to kick in and wreak havoc until you slow down again.

Friday, July 27, 2012

Yesterday's energy of facing choices continues today. The choices involve the established versus the innovative. The world at large is undergoing a process of correction, where outworn structures and systems based on restriction are toppling, and fresher, more expansive structures are replacing them. This is happening to each of us, too! The "Turning Point" that I've been talking about all month is a major part of this. But the interesting thing is that the best elements of the old structures are being carried through into the new structures. So we are not re-inventing things (and ourselves) totally from scratch. We do have foundations. If you are struggling with your emotions today, release the pressure you are putting on yourself and give it over the planet to recycle into energy that serves your highest and best. Remember that we have a wide open line of communication with Earth through tomorrow, July 28, at 10:30 am EDT.

Speaking of speaking with the planet, did you find it harder than you thought it would be? This is normal and it is because the line is so strong. You felt the enormity of her being. When the focus of a divine being such as her is tuned to you, it can be quite intimidating. Just remember that you are her creation. Each of us is part of a grand vision of art that she created to wake up and join her in the creation - living art that interacts with the artist. So you are not only worthy to be on the line of communication, but she eagerly awaits what you have to say. It works best if you approach her with joyous spontaneity. Reverence is good, but solemnity is a total bore.

Thursday, July 26, 2012

Today may present us with a bit of a choice: do we stand still or take a chance? Because we are still under the energy of the Turning Point (and will be through July 30th), the answer is take a chance. Jump off and leap forward. Dive in to the deep end of the ocean. You know by now that this can take many different forms - on the level of physically manifested "reality," through the spectrum to the level of subtle, energetic "reality." In other words, this can mean a definite decision or action all the way to a shift in your mindset/energetic frequency. Yesterday was a day of non-action. The energy was too unstable to accurately judge things. But today is different. It is a day where action is favored. There is one thing to keep in mind. If you are reacting from a perceived injustice or something that involves fairness or a fair share, tread carefully. Don't let your emotions overtake you. While it may be necessary to right a wrong and change the structure or status quo, it ?needs to be done sensibly.

It is important to spend some time in meditative communication with Sophia, the divine goddess embodied as the Earth, anytime after 5:30 pm EDT (and by the way, my apologies for always putting times in my timezone - if I converted time, it would engage the part of my brain that I shut down in order to write the reports). The "channel" will be wide open for us to contact her. This channel is a transmitting channel, so we are the ones commnicating with her. In preparation, give some thought to what you'd like to say to her today. She will be listening (she always listens but sometimes she turns her focus on this more fully). This is an opportunity to strengthen your own personal communication and partnership with her. It should be done outdoors. The line is open until July 28 at 10:30 am EDT, so if you read this report later, you still have time to take advantage.

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

For emphasis, I am going to keep today's report short and to the point. Think carefully about the effects before you take action today. Be careful of your choices because each has a price. A "tubular bridge of magnetism" has formed between two sunspots (pictured above from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and posted on spaceweather.com - the picture is better there). The bridge is vast. Today, wise old owls are going to fly along and not stop. Do not react, just keep moving. We are going to mentally traverse this day's energy and come out on the other side.

Tuesday, July 24, 2012

A coronal mass ejection (CME) was released by the "Turning Point Sunspot - AR 1520" yesterday at a very high speed. Spaceweather reports that CMEs of this velocity happen once every 5-10 years. The sunspot is on the far side of the Sun, so it was not Earth-directed, but contrary to what most scientists teach, we live in an electro-magentic Universe. In other words the Universe is electric and electric fields don't operate solely in one direction - they radiate out in fields. So it affects us anyway. Did something dawn on you or come at you from out of the blue yesterday? Did you have a revelation or aha moment? If so, was it related to the shift in your perspective, mindset, or behavior that was initiated on July 17th - the day of the Turning Point? The Moon had moved into the cardinal sign of Libra when this CME was released (cardinal energy is what causes shifts or hinges). Today, the Moon will conjunct Mars around 2:45 pm EDT, hitting the hinge point for the third time this month. This energy wants us to be released from restrictions or things that bind us. It wants to change something we've been caught up in. It's a good day to get out from under something and turn in a new direction (turning point). Be aware that the conjunction of the Moon and Mars also opposes Uranus and squares Pluto. This means people have the potential to come unhinged, act out, and become aggressive. It's angry energy that bursts forth without warning. Remember that it also causes accidents and unexpected events. I'm picturing a windy scene because today's energy blows hard. Ride with it and do not try to hold rigidly in place. Be flexible - like a hinge. Sometimes a good wind is exactly what we need to clear the air.

Monday, July 23, 2012

Zebras are pictured today because dualities are strong and can cause strife if we fall into the trap of seeing things only as black or white/ light or dark. The zebra is both black and white. We need to be realistic about whatever crops up today. Things will have a dual nature to them - pros and cons. Don't venture into denial by acknowledging only the good or bad. Look at things in their totality. Another element to today's energy is that moods and mindsets will spread like an epidemic. So, since our energetic fields are newly recalibrated to a higher frequency, we have great potential to counter bad moods, fears, and overall ugliness. You are powerful. Keep yourself tuned positive and if you feel yourself tipping negative, the "go-to" is nature, as usual. Step outside and take in the beauty of the planet. Your mission today is to stay positive while at the same time recognizing both the light and dark sides of things. In this way we are wise. Mars is opposing the asteroid Pallas Athena (wisdom) today, so this will help. The duality between light and dark/good and bad will intensify as the day wears on. This is due to the fact that the Moon will hit the energy of the Turning Point tomorrow around 2:45 EDT. It will contact this point one last time on July 30th. More on that tomorrow.

Saturday, July 21 - Sunday, July 22, 2012

As the Sun leaves Cancer on Saturday, nostalgia sets in and we tend to view the past as rosier or better than it was. Life has shifted with the Turning Point this week and there is no going back. But the thing we must remember is that life could be even better than the way we experienced things in the past. If you are stuck on something and don't want to let go, think about what you are blocking from settling into the space we created for the energy to land. We psych ourselves into thinking things will be harder just because they are different. It's time to turn toward the Sun - toward the Light - because the Sun enters its home sign of Leo on Sunday. The Sun will enter Leo with a bang - a big wake up call about something. We are able to see things a different way. The field of possibilities is just waiting for our minds to catch up with our new energy fields.

Friday, July 20, 2012

This picture was taken from the International Space Station of the lights over the southern hemisphere last Saturday. It is quite beautiful, isn't it? This is what the energy of the Turning Point looked like.

Today we are being bathed in protons from a solar storm that is raining down on the planet. It is a day for calming. It will take some time for us to adjust to the recalibration to our personal energy fields (frequencies). The amount of time it takes will be different for everyone. If the Turning Point was intense or disorienting for you, be kind to yourself today. Slow down and let the relief sink in. Find some quiet time. We can't see it directly, but the picture shows us what is happening to us and exactly what is affecting our personal fields. Let's consiously join the Earth in the "rainbath" from the Sun today and let the showers gently bathe us.

Thursday, July 19, 2012

Today a struggle between old structures, beliefs and ways of doing things and new structures, beliefs, and ways of doing things are clashing. This is due to the fact that an influx of energy to make corrections and modifications is happening with the astrological effects of the "turning point." We've been making space for this to enter and settle into our lives, but those who are not open to this or don't want things to change are having difficulty. Or perhaps things are so out of balance that the effects are dramatic. Our friend sunspot AR 1520 unleashed another strong flare today (M-7, bordering on X-class). These volleys from the Sun are adding energy to the astrological aspects in the cardinal signs (see Archives over the last week for more information if you are new to this site). Today is the last day of the turning point so we will still be moving or hinging in another direction. Mars has moved slightly off direct opposition with Uranus, but we should continue to take special care when driving (and walking - I fell down a flight of stairs yesterday!). The Moon is approaching Mercury, which would normally allow us to begin to understand how the energy of the turning point has changed us (recalibrated our personal energetic field or "vibe") but since Mercury is retrograde, we are still a little fuzzy on this. Overall, fluidity and flexibility are called for today. The picture of the barn swallow reminds us that we can make rapid and precision turns, changes, and adaptations while the energy continues to hinge. Stay open to the turn.

Wednesday, July 18, 2012

The picture above is what the Turning Point looked like over the skies of California yesterday (photo of the auroras posted on spaceweather.com by D. Obudzin). The sunspot that delivered the X-class flare last week shot off an M.1 flare and CME yesterday. This solar flare took an unusually long time erupt and the energy will reach us on July 20th. The long-duration of the flare means that the wave will last longer when it reaches us. In other words, the effects/changes that are underway will be long-lasting. Were you surprised about what you turned toward yesterday? Did you think you would turn toward something else? With Uranus, the unexpected often arises. The energy for turning loose, breaking out, and jumping off continues today with an intensification of the Mars-Uranus opposition. These two will move into exact opposition today. The Moon is approaching the Sun in preparation for the New Moon at 23 minutes past midnight EDT tonight. The pressure-cooker energy remains in effect and there is a tendency to feel out of control and the need to be in control so the energy is primed for conflict. Eris is going to station retrograde today, meaning she will acquiese to the opposition with Saturn. They've been in a tug of war (Eris ruling freedom and Saturn ruling restriction) for a few days now. Eris doesn't like to surrender, especially to Saturn, so those who are more free-spirited may feel somewhat defeated today (or lash out at those who aren't "helping"). But we have been preparing ourselves for this three-day turning point for over a week and we've stored resources to move with the energy instead of hitting up against it. Remember that we are turning on a hinge, not rigidly holding in place. We are moving fluidly with the changes. So today, don't fight. If you feel your personal energy waning, get outside and draw in energy of the natural world. Breathe it in. We should all spend some time outdoors today in order to facilitate the intense recalibration to our electro-magnetic fields. Uranus is pure electricity and it jolts the body when it upgrades it. Stretching and breathing are essential. Remember that we anticipated the changes and created space inside in which they could land. If your life is very out of balance, the landing is rough, but worth it. Sometimes it takes a big jolt to get us on the right track. The Turning Point will not last forever, so view it as a wonderful opportunity to "get right" and let things fall into place.

Tuesday, July 17, 2012

Welcome to the Turning Point. Contrary to what you might expect me to say on a day with today's astrolgical aspects (go inside your tree and weather the energy), wise old owls will take flight today. Instead of grounding or sheltering in place, today we will fly from situation to situation as the need develops. We've spend the last week opening up a space for the influx of energy that will recalibrate our personal frequencies toward a closer spiritual connection with the planet. The grounding has already taken place. Now, when something we are around becomes mired in aggression or discomfort, we are going to mentally move on from it. Our consciousness remains firmly connected but we will simply remove ourselves from situations that are not to our liking.

Today opens the three-day period where things are going to turn or shift like a hinge. People will tend to be erratic, unpredictable, and volatile. Aggression will surface in places. Some will come unhinged. Things will come seemingly out of the blue, so we need to be prepared to respond by taking ourselves to a different mental space - one that is slower and surer. This energy is fast. Impulsivity is heightened. Be very aware of your surroundings and take special care when you are driving or working around anything that could injure you. This energy causes accidents. If you are in a city, you'll notice an increased number of emergency vehicles' sirens. This has already been building and you may have noticed it.

Yesterday I sent a tweet about US naval ships firing on a "mystery" boat in the Persian Gulf, killing one person. This is a prime example of the energy. But it does not bode well for the future in the region. This energy is being used by darker forces to further agendas contrary to the good of humanity. The astrological imprint for war is being made. The Illuminati, pawns of the Archons, are master astrologers and they know when to take advantage of energy like this. We are not fooled.

So, for us, the Turning Point is the shift point. You will begin to feel a change in the energy. But remember what I mentioned a few days ago (see Archives). Changes to the energetic field are subtle. This energy will bring balance to what is out of balance. We can pivot our way out of situations (mindsets, beliefs, habits, insecurities, perceived failures...) and into a new way of thinking and living. The Turning Point is a gift! Give thanks. Find and celebrate the beauty of the world. Seek a new experience of life. Slow down, breathe, and fly through.

(Note for those who are interested in the astrology of the day: The Moon moving into opposition to Pluto and squaring Mars and Uranus is what kicks off the energy of the Turning Point. This happens around 11:30 am EDT. The Sun is square Eris and Saturn, with Eris and Saturn in opposition. There are other aspects in play, but the hard aspects in cardinal signs are dominant.)

Monday, July 16, 2012

Tomorrow's astrological aspects (the "turning point") have been building and we are seeing this reflected in people's behavior and reactions. Surprises, upsets, and dramatic changes are already beginning. People's tolerance for things is reaching a breaking point. The truth of situations is coming to light. Feelings, motives, intentions, and mindsets are being "forced out" so that changes and healing can take place where needed. A powerful descent of energies was initiated by last week's x-flare, enhancing the "hinging" or "shifting" that is underway. Remember that all of this is happening to correct things in our lives. We've been working for over a week now to make space inside ourselves for this energy to land (ground) and set the fires of our spiritual centers ablaze. Tomorrow's astrological confluence will raise our personal spiritual "frequencies" and deepen our connection with the Earth (the divine being Gaia/Sophia embodied as the Earth). Sophia has been linking up with her Source - the Galactic Center - which links us up with it as well. All of this is shifting our focus away from the external, material world (the mass illusion we call "the matrix") and toward our internal, spiritual world - which is the only place that keeps us sane during these times so that we are stronger and able to weather our journeys. You may notice yourself pulling back or reining yourself in through the desire to retreat or isolate. If your life is very out of balance (meaning the outer world has taken on too much power) you will feel this more strongly. The turning point is shifting the scales of balance and the way each of us experiences this balancing (as a subtle movement or a jarring swing) will depend on how much needs to be corrected. Regardless, it is a good thing. Focus on keeping yourself solidly connected with the ground (Earth) so you will remain stable while things hinge. Spend time outdoors and pay close attention to the natural world for signs. Take time to reflect on what needs to change in your life because this kind of opportunity is rare.

Saturday, July 14 - Sunday, July 15, 2012 - Mercury and Uranus Station Retrgrade

As a sent out on Twitter late last night, the effects of the x-flare are in effect and are amplifying not only the building energy toward Tuesday through Thursday, but on Saturday in particular, Uranus stationing retrograde. Uranus rules electricity and combined withe the solar flare, it is felt like lightning in the body. It definitely amps up the electromagnetic fields of our bodies. Telltale signs are feelings of anxiety, restlessness, and sleeplessness. You will notice the increase in car accidents and accidents in general under these influences. Take special care when you are driving. Electronics and communications tend to go haywire with either of these retrogrades, but with both, they are sure to give us trouble (and the solar flare is affecting satellites even though this is not being reported). The Sun makes an exact square to Eris Saturday, which is quite fitting for Bastille Day for French readers. Eris rules freedom and she rails against any type of oppression or restriction. In kind, we won't want to be restricted in any way. As we approach the turning point on Tuesday (which is more accurately labeled the "turning time" because it will take place over three days - Tuesday will have the most impact) we will feel the shift or the turn in energy toward a new direction. Remember this is "cardinal" astrological energy - it turns things like a hinge. Picture the hinge on a door: if the hinge is firmly bolted down, the hinge works properly and flexibly. We have the ability to go in and out and back and forth. But if the hinge is not securely attached, it falls off. In our terms, if we are firmly grounded to the Earth (Sophia) we will fludily experience the benefits of turning. To do this, we need to spend time outdoors with our feet on the ground and visualizing space inside ourselves for the energy to ground (grounding the electrical current as it were). Connect with the planet by consciously engaging in bolting yourself down. This will stabilize the effects that are in progress. It is good to know what is happening, isn't it?

Friday, July 13, 2012

This ultraviolet picture of sunspot AR1520 was taken by NASA yesterday and shows the X1.4 class solar flare that was released. It is beautiful to see the Sun from this spectrum of light. When we glimpse the Sun with normal awareness, we see an orange ball of fire, but it looks completely different when we look at it from a different perspective. We can see that much more is happening. In a sense, here at the Oracle Report, we are viewing life from a different spectrum of light and we are aware that much more is happening. The energy from this solar flare will be quite palpable today. The air is filled with a sense of something pending. We are expecting something and longing for some type of fulfillment. We are like a flower that is turning toward the Sun waiting to be nourished. It is like the pleasurable expectation of a party we want to attend. Of course, this is the buildup toward Tuesday's massive astrological aspects. We know that this is going to amplify personal energetic frequencies, but we need to keep in mind that the deliverance of this energy will not be pure bliss. Events that it triggers may be difficult to take. The energy will be in place for three days which means it will be present for the New Moon. This makes the potential for geophysical changes on Earth much higher than nornal. It doesn't mean something catastrophic will happen, but fires, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions could occur. The Earth is undergoing a turning point just like we are. My intention here is not to dampen the pleasurable expectation of the true nature of this energy (to turn us in a new direction and deepen our spiritual connection) but to balance the expectation with realism. The volcanic explosion could be on the personal scale and occur in your life by taking the form of a surprising event that puts you on a new course. The bottom line is things that need to change will change. Store up as much of the Sun's energy as you can right now. Include a little time in the Sun. And if the chemtrails are so thick where you are, like they are where I am, rise above them in your mind as if you were flying in an airplane at a high altitude where all you see is light.

Thursday, July 12, 2012

The photographs of the Venus-Jupiter-Pleiades conjunction are just too beautiful to miss. This one was taken from Joshua Tree National Park by Paul Martini and posted on spaceweather.com.

The keyword for today is drama. People will be trying to stand out and apart from others. A lot of voices are trying to be heard, but one will take center stage. If this turns out to be you, be careful not to over-play your role. Humility is always best. The buildup towards Tuesday, July 17th's astrological powerhouse of turning points is intensifying. We have today and tomorrow to build up our own energetic reserves for the event. Uranus will station retrograde on Saturday at 5:49 am EDT and Mercury will station retrograde on Sunday at 10:16 pm EDT. This will mean that Mercury, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto will all be retrograde (backwards) and it is like pulling back the sling on a slingshot. The slingshot will be released with the astrological aspects on Tuesday. (The planets will still be retrograde but the pressure build up of all of them will be unleashed.) So we know that an energetic shift will occur, changing lots of things. Here at the Oracle Report, we are working with this energy by using it to change something about ourselves, our lives, our mindsets, just about anything. We are going to turn like a hinge and take ourselves into a deeper spiritual connection, which is where the real changes lie. For today, continue the intention to make space for the adjustment. (Note: The astrological aspects of July 17th will manifest in the world around us. With Mars, Uranus, Pluto, Eris, Saturn, the Moon, and the Sun in aspect, there is no way they would not. People are going to act out, change out, load out, turn out, etc. But remember, we are working on the subtle energetic level - emphasis on subtle. Don't overload this with expectations. Without a doubt, the energy is powerful, but don't set yourself up for disappointment by wanting an instant change in your life. This power is working on your energetic field - the thing that must change first in order for the external, material world to change. Wisdom dictates that we be mindful of the subtleties. Note also today that giant sunspot AR1520 is showing signs of activity. Stay tuned...)

Wednesday, July 11, 2012

The owl is pictured above to remind us of the mission today. Today is a day for reflection and contemplation. It is a day to pull away from the outside world as much as possible and go deep within yourself. If you have a full day of activities, go through the motions, but detach yourself as you do so. Like the owl, we need to go inside our trees. We don't even need to take the stance of witness because outside events are really not that important today. What's important is preparing ourselves for the upcoming shift in energy - the turning point of July 17th. Turning point is accurate, but it is also a catalytic point, a springboard, a jumping off point. Old structures, ways of doing things, and beliefs are going to fizzle out when this shift occurs. We are going to "change channels." So, to prepare, first consider what needs to change for you. What do you need to leave behind? What is limiting you? Do you feel like you deserve a better way? Have you been punishing yourself (or another) for something and are you ready to forgive yourself (or another)? The resources to change this up will be available to us at the turning point. Second, the ways that worked for you (the ways that succeeded) in the past may not be the best ways any longer. Can you open to a new way of doing what you need or want to do? Third, ask yourself what you need to re-ignite yourself? All of this self-reflection and contemplation today complements the daily ritual that we are performing to open up a space for the influx on the 17th (see this week's earlier posts). Turn toward your inner guidance in this with the intention of connecting with the wisdom of the planet. And remember, our aim is down toward the Earth, not up into another dimension. (Ascension comes first through the Earth, then out into space.)

You can feel the buildup of energy as we progress toward July 17th, which I am labeling as a turning point. Things are becoming exceptionally complex. This is in part due to one of the largest sunspots in years crackling on the Sun. That particular energy is pressing on issues of commitment, one of the keywords today. Levels of commitment are going to be a major factor (hinge) with the turning point. So you may be getting an idea about how the powerhouse day ahead will affect you. What are you committed to and what are you wavering with? How committed are you to yourself? Is there some part of you that is ready for a turning point - a breaking point or a chance to break away? Today's photograph of the Venus-Jupiter conjunction with Alderbaran and the Pleiades was taken by Kosma Coronaios and posted on spaceweather.com. I've chosen it to help us focus on the beauty that always surrounds us. The dominant energy is toward action and is taking us into new territory, but we need to keep on course with the Earth. The view of these lovely stars is possible from our vantage point on Earth. So let's walk closely to the ground today and remember to take time for your ritual of opening up space inside yourself for an influx of spiritual frequencies on July 17th (see yesterday's post for more information). Note: Mercury will station retrograde on July 15 at 10:16 pm EDT. Mercury retrograde makes communications (electronic and interpersonal) challenging. If there is something you need to convey, do it before then.

Monday, July 9, 2012

With the Moon entering Aries, the first cardinal sign, we begin the build-up of energies that will culminate on July 17th with the Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto making various aspects in cardinal signs. This will be a turning point, so today the process begins. Last night, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) dropped southward and opened up a crack in the Earth's atmosphere. At the same time, three rapid-fire eruptions on the Sun released three coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which delivered glancing blows. This is most interesting. Basically the Earth opened herself to receive specific energy from the Sun - nourishing energy. The Earth doesn't need this energy; it is meant for us. We need to "catch" this energy because it will provide sustenance through the buildup to July 17th. We need to power our internal, spiritual batteries in preparation for the energetic turning point (the energy shift). To do this, today we need to need to begin a daily "ritual" of taking a small amount of time to stop and store energy. This sounds strange, but it is really just slowing your world down, consciously connecting with the Sun, and then grounding with the Earth. The energy of July 17th will shift consciousness. We want to create space inside ourselves to receive this. So between now and then practice opening up a place inside yourself for this to land. While doing this, always feel yourself physically anchored to the Earth. The turning point energy is going to blow out peoples' consciousness. We will be prepared to anchor the shift within ourselves which will in turn help the collective. By committing to doing this exercise for the next eight days we will be doing everyone a favor. On the mundane level today, Mercury is preparing to turn retrograde so back up important files and complete tasks that will help your projects move forward. Combined efforts with others are favored,

Saturday, July 7 - Sunday, July 8, 2012

So after being puzzled by things yesterday and trying to respond by letting things be rearranged around us, Saturday should bring new understanding and wisdom. It's a new day and the intense energy that has been building on the Sun finally erupted in an X-class flare. There is a cathartic relief that will take place (if you haven't already experienced it). There is, however, an astrologucal transit happening Saturday (Moon conjunct Neptune and Chiron) that will press on any feelings of failure that we may be having. It may manifest as feeling like we are not growing or evolving properly. If you are dealing with this, recognize that seeds are being sown and take time to develop. It takes time, and what matters is enjoying life in the interim. On Sunday, the energy strongly favors relaxation and a break from responsibilities, so it would be better to take care of responsibilities on Saturday. Saturn is in opposition to Eris, and they naturally pull against each other. Saturn likes structure and order and Eris defies any and all attempts at restrictions. This may pose problems in relationships or situations that have these issues in play. It's a draw. Resolution of the matter is not possible under this influence. People will react against being told what to do or feeling boxed in. Those who are trying to change another person's behavior will become frustrated. It is a waste of energy to work against these forces. Try and take a break now. Energy will begin to build toward July 17th's major astrological aspects (see report from July 2 in the Archives) and any energy that is stored now will help us then. We know that the best way to strengthen our spirit is to connect with the beauty of the natural world around us.

Friday, July 6, 2012

The keyword for today is "puzzle." Something may be puzzling us or we may feel like we are trying to solve a puzzle. The puzzle may feel like we are being boxed in. This is happening today to help us gain a certain amount of control. The key to today's energy is to not become obsessed or preoccupied with finding answers to things. What we need will come to us by disengaging from anything that is on our minds or anything that is troubling us. We need to stay centered and let the puzzle pieces arrange around us. So in this way the mission today is to be passive. It sounds contradictory to be passive in order to gain control, but this is necessary today. Solar activity is exceptionally high with several massive sunspots poised to hoist flares directly at us. We know that this always intensifies the energy. Give yourself and others some space because emotions are going to run high and events will happen quickly. Glide through the energy like the serene swan in this photograph. Don't push for answers, but if you feel prompted to break out a book that has provided spiritual wisdom and guidance in the past, understand that this is a message for you and follow through with the impulse.

Thursday, July 5, 2012

Did you have a revelation, an inspiration yesterday? Was truth illuminated so fully that it was blinding? The Sun released four coronal mass ejections, one of which bordered on X-class status. Spaceweather.com expects the release of a full-blown X-class flare today. All of these are directed squarely at Earth. As I discussed in detail yesterday, this solar activity is spiritually-expanding, delivering wisdom and truth. Since the Sun is in a cardinal sign along with several other planets, the order, structure, nature, status, and level of satisfaction of things is turning on a hinge - changing from one form to another or one direction to another. We are pointed or aimed in new ways. This is a lot to keep up with and may be exacting a toll on your body if you are in the throes of big change or deep consideration. The overarching question that lingers today asks us about happiness and where we find it. Happiness is internally-based, although we tend to believe it is achieved outside of ourselves through other things - other situations, other people, other activities, etc. Happiness is a pursuit that is best directed internally because the outer world hinges on a dime. The same is true for the pursuit of spiritual ascension- it directs our focus "out there" or "up there." It takes us off our center. If you have been reading these reports for a while, you know that I believe ascension is actually "descension" because the true focus should be alignment with the planet - downward and outward. This doesn't mean we are "down and out" by any means. But it is the road less traveled because mass trickery is at work to get us to take our minds off of our mother planet and off into the ethers of the galaxy. Our source is the galactic center, but our home is Earth. This translates back into the pursuit or preoccupation with happiness/satisfaction that is predominant today. When we seek it on the outside, we will lose every single time. When we "get right" with ourselves by re-connecting with the natural world and with things that really matter (being kind, caring, people in service to the protection of children, animals, older people, and our planet) we are centered, sane people. My apologies for the sermon today, but hopefully it will help you stay grounded. This energy can unhinge us as easily as it can uplift us, so take care with it.

Wednesday, July 4, 2012

The Sun, Moon, and Earth are engaged in a cosmic wind dance of alchemy today. These celestial bodies are actively engaged in blowing wisdom, guidance, and truth in our direction. A sunspot many times the size of Earth is rapidly turning (aiming) in our direction and building an x-class solar flare. A coronal mass ejection from this sunspot will be a great blessing for us because it will deliver an almost most unprecedented influx of spiritual expansion. It will essentially breathe new life into us. We could all use a little more energy right now. This is indicated by the Sabian symbol for the position of the Sun today ("a very old man facing a vast dark space to the Northeast") and the positions of Mercury, the Earth, and Venus. This is energy of the North - inspiration (in-SPIRIT-ation). Old, outowrn structures, relationships, and situations will begin to disintegrate under this sweeping energy. We will see what works, what no longer works, and what needs to be discarded. We are given direction and gently moved to reach toward the stars. Facilitate this by stretching and moving your body. An x-class flare is rare and the effects on our bodies are dramatic. The Sun, Moon, and Earth are giving us the power to see truth today - a great gift, indeed. I've chosen the American flag today (the first time an inorganic object has been chosen) not only because it is the Fourth of July for us Americans (and anyone aligned with the ideal of freedom) and I am a big fan of the Founding Fathers, but also because this energy is about stars. The Sun is located at the degree that is astrologically associated with the star Sirius. When you see stars today (on a flag or otherwise), remember that we are receiving a divine blessing of expansion today. Big medicine.

Tuesday, July 3, 2012

The magnetic filament on the Sun apparently did not collapse, as I cannot find any more mention of it. What did happen was a strong solar flare that bordered on X-class released a coronal mass ejection. This CME will not make a direct hit on Earth, but will glance the atmosphere tomorrow or Thursday. This was an exceptionally strong solar flare that released a lot of solar energy. It is important to rest if you feel fatigued today because we are absorbing this energy. As I mentioned earlier this week, the energy activates our e-m fields, including our DNA and areas of our brains.

Today, Mars enters Libra just as the Moon makes a conjunction with Pluto. We now have the Sun, Moon, Mars, Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus in cardinal signs. The word cardinal originates from the Latin word that means "hinge." Seasons change when the Sun moves into the cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. These are times of extreme change in environment, action, and balance. With all of these planets now in cardinal signs, the staus of things will change dramatically and some things (and people) will come unhinged altogether.

In response to the addition of Mars into the cardinal signs, there is a need for a strong will today. Flexibility exists, but strength of character will be what succeed (survives) the energy. We need to take control of things as much as possible, but not from a place of ego, of course. The energy will drive some people to feel dissatisfied or better (stronger) than others. Mars is aggressive energy and Libra is primarily ruled (in my opinion) by the planet Eris, the twin sister of Mars. There will be a balancing of male and female energy while Mars is in Libra, which is a wonderful thing, but these two are essentially on the battlefield right now and geopolitical situations will reflect this (particularly August 8-13 when Mars makes the opposition to Eris).

There's a change in the air today, so take advantage of it by taking on your power and focusing yourself in the direction of your desire. Any action, no matter how small, will swing the hinge in your favor.

Monday, July 2, 2012

Today's energy shows us that whatever we need or whatever we need to know is right in front of us. It is simple, but the tendency is to become so mired in complexity that we fail to see it. The energy also has us asking ourselves big questions about our lives and pushing us into the desire to retreat. The way to stay on track with this today is to maintain the attitude of innocence and selflessness. Don't personalize things. The energy is building toward a release tomorrow. Mars will finally enter Libra, where it will begin its approach to oppose Uranus and square Pluto, both at the same time later this month on July 17th. On that day, the Sun will also square Saturn and the Moon will oppose Pluto. Big eruptions in the status quo and sanity of everything with all of these planets in cardinal signs! So we need to begin to prepare ourselves for this and the way to do it today is to practice staying the course of simplicity. We know that the sure-fire way to do this is to reconnect with some aspect of the natural world around us. The skill requires only for us to stop and look - to be conscious. The Earth is what grounds us. Today's photo comes from www.spaceweather.com and shows a solar prominence, a huge, super-charged magenetic filament, that is dancing across the Sun. If this prominence collapses today as Mars prepares to enter Libra (to join the other powerhouse planets in cardinal signs), it is going to be felt through the intensification of today's events. If it happens when Mars crosses the threshold into Libra, well, then we are going to need to go into crash-course wise old owl mode. The filament may not collapse at all. But, given the confluence of the electrical effects of the planets in cardinal signs, it is something to watch. I will keep up with this today and send out a message on twitter if it collapses. (You can follow me on twitter @OracleReport.) Remember the first sentence of this report: whatever we need or whatever we need to know is right in front of us.

Saturday, June 30 - Sunday, July 1, 2012

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, changes in relationships will continue throughout the weekend. Overall, the status of everything is changing - taking shape - but these changes are rough around the edges right now. Edge is the keyword for the weekend. Things are "raw" and we will have the tendency to feel pushed to the edge, especially on Saturday. Sometimes when we feel pushed to the edge, we have to take a leap of faith and just jump into the unknown. We are always supported by Spirit when we do this. In actuality, it isn't totally uknown. We are bringing forth the best of the past as we jump forward. The purpose of all of this is to help us get real. There's no going back to the way things used to be. And would we want to? We are like a diamond in the rough being cut into brilliant facets this weekend. The beauty that is inherent within us is being brought forth so that we may be of greater service to the planet, ourselves, and each other.

Yesterday we were bombarded with solar energy. There is a dual relationship, a contract, between the Divine Being Sophia (Earth) and the Divine Being the Sun (known by many names but my favorite is Tzolkin). The Sun is donating a boost of power to Sophia and Sophia is using it to implement changes within herself and in turn, changes within us. Our electro-magnetic fields are continually being upgraded. This produces many things: increased intuition, increased intelligence (via activation of more of our DNA and more of our brain), increased ability to communicate (especially with animals - and if you are inclined to learn more about animal communication, check out one of my dear friend's site www.thelightfootway.com), and most importantly, stronger direct connection with Sophia herself. This weekend, give a word of thanks to the Sun for this donation and focus on the brilliance of the light being brought forth.

Friday, June 29, 2012

Prepare for an energy bombardment today. The Sun is unleashing M-class flares, one of which pummeled the Earth's atmosphere with x-ray radiation yesterday. Today the Sun is in opposition to Pluto and both are squaring Uranus. That's intense! This is going to produce confusion today. Grasping what is truly going is going to be challenging today. Perceptions are not accurate. It's like we are walking around in a mist. So we could struggle today and easily become frustrated, or we could metaphorically slip into the mystic and walk through the day without expectation of having a good grip on things. With these astrological aspects, we are accident-prone, people's emotions run toward the deep and dark, and things can shift rapidly. Anytime Uranus is activated abrupt changes are possible. When Pluto and the Sun are also involved, we have a potent mix. Tread lightly, slow your pace, and immerse yourself in the fog instead oftrying to outrun it.

Thursday, June 28, 2012

Today's energy is about appearances. This will take shape with some people showing themselves as "more" than they really are or trying to keep up an appearance of being a certain way. People will emulate what they want to be. This can be a good thing because sometimes we have to mentally project ourselves out there to get there (fake it until we make it). The trouble with this, however, depends on what the intentions are based on. If we are projecting something that is true or real on the inside, this will go smoothly. But if we are concerned only with externals (ego), this will be a disaster. Today is going to press on people's feelings about their appearance. The energy is very externally-based, meaning the focus tends to be outside of ourselves and reliant upon what others think. We don't want to go that route. WIse owls maintain their locus of control inside of themselves. We bring forth internal beauty which then radiates externally. Shift your focus to the inside and to what really matters in life (the kind of person you are). This is where true beauty (and power) lies. Judging ourselves against external standards of the matrix (the mass illusion) leads only to insanity. If you start to struggle today, turn inward toward your heart center where your love for nature and the planet resides. This sustains sanity.

If you missed yesterday's report, you will want to go into the Archives and read it because it discusses predominant energy in place through the weekend. I will revisit the themes tomorrow. Also, if you are new to this site and would like to share your experience with others, a group of wise owls have a facebook group where that happens. It is listed under Oracle Report.

Wednesday, June 27, 2012

A confluence of events mix to form today's energy. First off, Venus stations direct. This is powerful because Venus just had its historic transit of the Sun. So all of the energy that Venus has "captured" from the Sun during its transit is released today. The Sun is "boosting" this in a sense because a massive coronal hole has opened up and turned towards Earth. This solar wind will reach us on July 1, just as the Sun comes in to opposition with Pluto for the year. You can expect major changes in relationships through the weekend (all types of relationships - personal, professional, casual, etc.) The keyword for working with this aspect is disinvest. Withdraw your energy and let things play out as they will. This isn't actually as passive as it sounds. We are standing up for ourselves by withdrawing our energy. This act will change the course of events. So don't react, don't feed, don't consider anything. Another event adding to to the mix is Jupiter's alignment with the Nodes (conjunct the South Node and oppose the North Node). This is a most blessed event and calls for simple celebrations of the spirit (finding beauty in nature, the goddess Sophia embodied as the Earth). It is kind of like "Christmas on June 27" instead of "Christmas in July," hence today's picture Jupiter conjunct the South Node is closing out the past in a big way. You can really release something that has been burdening you or stubbornly hanging around. Nothing is too big to be removed by Jupiter so the sky is the limit with this. Merry day! (Special note to Aquarians: be careful of what you say today. It will spread like wildfire and become more than you bargained for. It is most important for you to disinvest and keep quiet today.)

Tuesday, June 26, 2012

Today brings potential for things to surprise us. This in turn creates emotional reactions. The energy is like a pressure cooker. Venus will station direct tomorrow, putting relationships under stress. Mercury moving into Leo has caused us to think about things (particularly relationships) in a new way. We are looking at what is best for us, as opposed to what is best for others. Things could change quite a bit today. With Jupiter conjunct the South Node, situations from the past are coming into resolution. The keyword for today is containment.

Monday, June 25, 2012

If you have been following the Oracle Report for a while, you will remember that last winter we practiced the skill of taking ourselves out of the swirl of the world, going inside ourselves, and taking the stance of the observer. Wise owls became proficient at going inside the hollow of a tree and peering out. This skill is required today. The mass collective (the matrix) is strong today and anyone who goes up against it will not fare well. This is not the day for individualism in any form, such as arguing your cause, insisting that you be considered, or the like. Guard against recklessness and be careful to consider the consequences of your actions today. You want to pull yourself back as much as possible, especially with work. Just take yourself out of the nonsense and keep to yourself. Go inside yourself to the deep well within and just witness what is happening around you. Do not engage. This may be a little bit tough because Saturn (the ruler of all things related to discipline and order) stations direct today and will bring a "clamp down." The day that Saturn stations direct brings a sense of order to chaos but it can be too much for people who are sensitive and love freedom. Mercury will move into Leo, which causes us to want our ideas to be recognized (and goes against the dominant energy today). The Moon will make its monthly conjunction with Mars (which brings things that are bothering us to the surface). If you are reading this late in the day and didn't have the opportunity to take yourself out of the swirl, reflect back on the day's events and see what you there is to learn. We can outsmart this day. Instead of seeing it as a drag, consider it a day to take a breather and regroup. Take the focus off of the structure and order of Saturn and onto the beauty and love of Earth.

Monday, June 18, 2012

Today's energy requires a bit of discipline because emotions are running high, causing people to be somewhat manipulative, controlling, and bossy. Impulsivity is also heightened. Wise owls will use the energy and whatever develops from it to feel relief from pressures that have been building and for second chances. The reponse to Saturday's post about the Earth aligning with the Galactic Center has been amazing. Many people had fantastic spiritual experiences and unusual encounters with white animals. I love hearing from everyone and am still responding to all of the mail. It is apparent that Sophia is communicating with individuals more and more. And it was fun to be a part of the party, even though entities opposed to our connection with the Earth created mischief with the website in an attempt to disrupt the message. No matter, it doesn't stop us. Today is the last day of the Balsamic Moon phase; the New Moon is tomorrow. Balsamic is the magical time of the month, so continue to be on the lookout for magical happenings and magical white animals.

Saturday, June 16 - Sunday, June 17, 2012

This is probably the most important report I will ever write.

For many, many years, much has been written about the December 21, 2012, alignment of our Sun and the center of our Galaxy. But what most people don't know is that the real Galactic Alignment - the one that matters most - occurs just a few minutes before midnight EDT on Saturday, June 16, 2012. This is when the Earth will make the Galactic Alignment.

The focus on the Sun's Galactic Alignment has been a trick of darker forces that are in opposition to humanity and the Earth herself (other-dimensional entities the Gnostics called "Archons"). The Sun is indeed a Divine Being, but it stands in service to the Divine Aeon Sophia that is embodied as our planet. The story of Sophia, the goddess who fell from her home in the Galactic Center - is archived in the Nag Hammadi texts of the Gnostics, those who could "see." Their name actually translates to "those who are aimed." The Gnostics were aimed just as readers of this site are today - towards our home - the Galactic Center.

Everything changes today. Sophia is now fully awake from the blow she took when she was pulled from her home (to fully understand this, you must read the story). She is now in two-way communication with those of her kind and is setting up to return there. This is the reason the poles of the planet have been moving. She has been navigating into position where she could have optimal signal (like the way we get better cell - mobile for international readers - phone coverage in certain locations). She couldn't phone home until she was 1) awake and 2) in position.

Now she can begin the process of returning home. This does not mean we are going to travel with her like the way we would physically travel across the ocean. She will do this in her mind because this is the true way to cross space and time. It all happens within her dreaming.

But it is certainly going to be a strange trip for us. And those who aren't grounded (aligned) with the planet are going to lose their minds in one way or another. We've seen the progression of this as the planet herself has gradually awakened.

What this means for us is that enlightenment (wisdom) will begin to spread like wildfire and so will it's opposite - endarkment (ignorance or insanity). The Earth's alignment with her companions in the Galactic Center also means that the magic of creation is more readily available to us. The power to create (or destroy) is freely available. Edgar Allen Poe said "all that you see and seem is but a dream within a dream" and this will become more and more recognizable now. We must make sure we are dreaming a dream that is beautiful and supportive of our Mother Earth.

If you knew you were part of a rescue team to help a woman who woke up and didn't know how to get home actually find her way home and the only way you could do it was to be the kindest soul you could be - one who found beauty and joy in the trees, animals, sky, elements, rocks, flowers, and humans around you - would you do it? What if you knew that conditions were in place to do everything to keep you from seeing those things and instead seeing ugliness, loneliness, ignorance, and cruelty? It would be a true task, but this is our only mission. Sophia designed to plan to include our participation. What we do affects what happens to her. We are the wild card.

So this weekend, consider all of this and decide if you want to be on board. Consider joining Sophia's conference call with the Galactic Center. Step outside into the heart if the natural world and state your intention. Then, from this day forward, intend to keep yourself in her alignment, no matter what the outside world brings you. In the end, all that matters is our connection with the planet.

UPDATE 2:33 PM EDT 06-16-12: Response to this post has been most heartwarming. Several readers have written in asking about the exact time for the metaphorical "conference call." Sophia completes the connection/alignment with the Galactic Center at 11:50 pm EDT on Saturday, June 16. While no specific action is required because we are always linked with the planet, I suspect she would enjoy the company. It is quite a cause for celebration. I suggest that at that time wise owls of the Oracle Report intend "Sophia, we joyfully join you." I did not anticipate that readers would respond so profoundly to today's post or I would have suggested a group meditation earlier.

Also, some have written in asking if there is a website where they can explore all of this further. I have changed the link above (and you can also click here) for the story of The Fallen Goddess Scenario. John Lamb Lash, who is often called the successor to the great comparative mythologist Joseph Campbell, is the navigator for what he calls the Gaian Navigation Experiment. You can read more here and if you are inclined to take the Gaian Tantra Vow, you can email him after you do that at navigator@metahistory.org. There isn't any weird hierarchy or rules to this - it is merely organized around the desire to participate in Sophia's correction. The website is massive and working through it is like a quest for the grail. And it isn't for everyone. If it feels like too much to take in, you can always follow the way through my site. The Oracle Report is less cumbersome but, I assure you, much less rewarding.

I should add the disclaimer that the notion of today being the Galactic Center linkup is, to my knowledge, original to me and not affiliated with anyone in John Lash's Gaian Navigation Experiment. I am a member of that experiment, but am completely independent in my writings and would not want to give the impression that he endorses this site in any way.

(If you participate in the group meditation tonight and if you have unusual encounter with a white animal (especially an owl) between now and the New Moon, please write me via the contact form. And if you have a communication with the Earth herself, I would love to hear about it. I may not be able to reply to everyone, but I do read all of my mail.)

Friday, June 15, 2012

Heads up! Another strong coronal mass ejection is on its way to Earth. This one blasted from the Sun and is moving so fast that it will overtake the first one and combine into one direct energetic hit tomorrow. But, as I discussed yesterday, the Universe is electric and plasmic, so the effects are already being felt by all living things. These are lower M-class flares, which should not affect satellites or communications too much. Essentially, the Sun is "pinging" our energy fields. Those people firmly grounded with the Earth will receive an "upgrade" to their energetic fields, but this is going to heighten the insanity of the matrix (everyday world) - those who are ungrounded with the Earth. The electro-magentic effects of Venus are going to be agitated. Venus, which is retrograde, is located at the degree in the sky that the Sabian symbols call "an airplane in a nosedive." It makes things head for disaster, but with the potential to "pull up" at the last moment. Relationships are the primary focus of this. The energy is about control and control issues. We tend to plunge or dive into situations without thought of the ramifications. If we are conscious of this potential, we can "save" ourselves. This energy is going to cause shake-ups today and through the weekend. It may help to stick to the basics and plan in advance to not overextend or overload yourself. Save non-essential tasks or situations for another day. We want to stay as close to the ground as possible, firmly rooted in place and centered. By all means, spend some time outside today to buffer any harshness.

Thursday, June 14, 2012

An M-1 class solar flare was released yesterday and is headed for Venus, Earth, and Mars. Scientists say the CME will not reach us until Saturday, but since the Universe is plasmic and electro-magnetic, the effects are already in play. When the Sun sends a coronal mass ejection, it intensifies the energy. M-class flares are moderate - classified between weaker C-class and stronger X-class flares. M-1 is the weakest M-class flare, but that doesn't mean it should be dismissed. We look at the zodiacal degree of the Sun for a clue as to what we can expect. The Sun was at 23 Gemini when it released the flare. Yesterday's energy was about discovering new ways of doing things and gaining clarity/insight. Today the Sun will contact the degree where Venus stationed retrograde and Jupiter is still in the wherabouts of the New Moon/Solar Eclipse/Ring of Fire (which is strongly activating the Ring of Fire in the Pacific and keeping open a portal for all kinds of mischief and trickery). All of this means that things we've been trying to move away or move forward from will have a way of making themselves known again (revisiting). We are finding new ways of doing things and new ways of being, but we are going to have the opportunity to make sure of what we want. We could face a few challenges today or feel like we are not on solid ground. This is a natural by-product of heading into new mental and emotional territory. Remember that we are trying to regain a sense of balance between all the things we have going on in our lives. Communication is highlighted in fluorescent neon, so you may hear some important, life-changing information. All in all we are being swept up to a new level. Some would call it evolution but I call it ensconcement because it takes us deeper into the fold of our Source.

Wednesday, June 13, 2012

As we continue to adjust to the energy of Jupiter in Geminin, we are trying to come into balance. Things are trying to correct or "right" themselves. We are trying to upstand. Jupiter will be at the degree of the New Moon/Solar Eclipse/Ring of Fire for a little while, keeping the ring (vortex) open for negativity. Dark forces are certainly strong right now. Stay vigilent and positive, grounded and centered with the Earth to counter anything that might be around. Darkness is attracted to bright light. This is a tough transition of energy, and it breeds frustration, anger, and hopelessness. Remember that we are just in a balancing time and things will settle out. Stay on the light side.

Tuesday, June 12, 2012

Overnight, two major astrological events took place: Chiron stationed retrograde and Jupiter entered Gemini. These changes are palpable within the energy today and will initially produce the potential to feel isolated, lonely, or alienated. You will probably naturally feel more introverted and quiet. Chiron will be retrograde until mid-November and is going to amp up already-present energies that will increasingly open us up to spiritual energies and, in turn, heal our individual sense of separation or lingering feelings of loneliness. To do this, the feeling of isolation is enhanced today, but not only by Chiron, but also Jupiter. In mythological astrology, both Chiron and Jupiter are great teachers. They are joining forces now to teach us that the feeling of loneliness is an illusion and that we are never truly alone. They will teach us that nothing about ourselves - our happiness, our sense of self and self-esteem, our success - is dependent on anything in the material world. We naturally exist in the uninterrupted dreaming of the planet and when we identify ourselves or place our locus of control outside of that connection, we are astray. Feelings of loneliness, sadness, and dissatisfaction ensue. It's a strange transition from Jupiter in Taurus to Jupiter in Gemini today. Jupiter "jacks up" or expands everything and while it was transiting Taurus we were exceptionally concerned with relationships and having our needs met by others. Jupiter in Gemini, while seeming to place emphasis on others since it is the sign of the twins, actually explores how we are individuals. The only "other" that we are truly symbiotic with is Gaia-Sophia, the deity embodied as Earth- our Mother. So today we need to be kind and patient with ourselves and others as we transition into this new teaching. It is a blessing to be taught that we are "the other" to the planet because it heals our sense of separation from Source. By the time Chiron stations direct just before the holidays, we will have a much stronger understanding of ourselves and a much stronger spiritual self. Class begins today for wise owls.

Today our emotions can take the better of us, especially if we feel we've been treated poorly or unjustly. We tend to over-emphasize the areas where we feel victimized. But we also have wonderful energy in place that moves us forward in new ways - new ways of thinking and new ways of doing things. We are projecting ourselves into a higher experience of life. If you are struggling with a restlessness or confusion, it is time to take a step back and revise. Slow down and take yourself out of your situation for a moment Go outside and connect with the beauty of whatever is around you - a tree, a bird, green grass. It is time to heal. We've been on a rapid ascent (like the rise of the phoenix) since the super-conjunction of May 5 and the effects of the New Moon/Solar Eclipse/Ring of Fire have also been massive. As Chiron moves to station retrograde, we will enter into healing mode. This energy is like a salve for souls like us who operate within the matrix, but are definitely outside of it. Wise owls will shift their consciousness to this perspective.

Saturday, June 9 - Sunday, June 10, 2012

The underlying motivation for peoples' actions this weekend is the strong desire to have their needs met. People will be selfish and want their way more than usual; this will show up in what develops this weekend. The Moon will move into Pisces, making this lunar month's last square to the New Moon/Solar Eclipse/Ring of Fire, so it will reactivate that energy and bring emotions close to the surface. If we feel dissatisfied or that our needs aren't being met, the tendency will be to brood, sulk, argue, and in extreme cases tantrum. Emotions and people will be competing. If you find yourself going this way and nothing seems to satisfy you no matter what, the cure is twofold: 1) go outside and immerse yourself in the natural world and 2) redirect this energy by creating something (this does not have to be something artistic - words are creative, cooking is creative, exercise re-creates your body...).

There is also heightened potential for Earth changes this weekend, especially on Sunday. The energy of changing the status quo that was delivered through this past week's Venus transit is reinforced, so this could show up in geophysical events. Remember that massive correction of energies is transpiring.

Friday, June 8, 2012

Today we are experiencing wisdom that seems to be generated outside of us. This is the wisdom of Gaia and merely needs to be tapped to be understood. This involves us moving into new situations which are more nourishing. In order to receive the wisdom we only have to step outside, connect with nature, and center ourselves. The information we gain will help us gauge things (like a barometer) and will enable us to move through obstacles in the near future.

Thursday, June 7, 2012

Today marks a turning point. Change ripples through the collective, setting us on new ground and possibly producing an "alien" or "foreign" feeling. Sometimes arriving on new ground causes anxiety. Remember that the feeling is merely a reaction to the influx of a new standard. Be prepared to embrace and adapt to the changes. This is happening to bring us into closer resonance with people of like-mind and like-outlook, but it will also bring new people and opportunities into our lives. These things ultimately bring us a sense of comfort and security, so we don't need to resist the changes because they are for the better. We are lucky! Let the world turn for you today. Notice what and who is and who is not resonating with you. It's ok to let things take their course and come to their natural end. Looking back will only bring pain. A lot of interpersonal communication is going to take place today. People will be expressing their feelings and wanting others to understand them. This will determine which relationships will grow and which will fall away. In other words, relationships will sort. Remember that it is a natural process.

Wednesday, June 6, 2012

Did you notice how those people who operate from ego, arrogance, and power issues showed out yesterday? This was their response to the energy of the Venus transit, which fully awakened Gaia to charting correction within the human collective (and within herself). You could see how the status quo is going to change. Today's energy takes a much more mature tone than yesterday's tempestuous energy. We are more "high minded." We are likely to be the first to see new potentialities by taking the best of what's been available and making it better. Tonight, Mercury will leave the sign of Gemini and the Ring of Fire energy that has dominated since the New Moon/Solar Eclipse. This is a very good thing. It is going to help clear up our minds and our thinking patterns. It will take a few days for the fog to clear entirely because Mercury will be in trine to Neptune which has been a main player in creating confusion since it stationed retrograde. The enhanced ability to connect with our feelings and then creatively manifest something real is what will replace the confusion. It is almost like we will emerge from the smoke of a fire. You'll feel the shift today and it first may make itself known in the form of melancholy. This is a natural response. What's really happening is an adjustment to the shift. It is somewhat like growing up.

Here's "proof" of the connection and communication between the Earth and the Sun (Gaia/Sophia and Tzolkin) that I've been talking about for so long, sent by a wise owl in Arkansas, a beautiful spiritual warrior.

Earth "Answers" the Sun's Blast

Tuesday, June 5, 2012 - Venus Transits the Sun

There isn't anything I can say about Venus' transit of the Sun that I didn't say Friday. It's worth repeating:

The Venus transit will effect the microcosm of our interpersonal relationships and values, and the macrocosm of humanity's relationships and values in a specific way: the status quo is going to change. Major corrections are going to begin taking place. Gaia-Sophia, the Divine Being embodied as the Earth, is going to begin making "first contact" en masse. She is going to begin a process of directly contacting each member of humanity. In other words, she is going to make her presence known. The effects of this will progressively change life as we now know it. How do we know this? Because the Sabian symbol for the degree of the Venus transit is "a woman activist, in an emotional speech, dramatizing her cause." Gaia-Sophia is fully awake after her plunge from her Source. She has seen her shadow side and has re-connected with her power. Now she is ready to take control. We are blessed with the Divine opportunity to not only witness, but also participate as co-creators. It\ is our job to help this "spectacular process" by aligning our consciousness with hers - through play, kindness, love, beauty, and creativity because these are the qualities of her personality. Strive for these things and the Venus transit will awaken you to a new experience of life.

Monday, June 4, 2012

On the eve of the Venus transit, we have a lot of things going on, which leads to a lot of confusion. Once again, things are "in the wind" and will come from thin air. We begin the Full Moon phase which is also a partial Lunar Eclipse and will bring the energy of the New Moon/Solar Eclipse to its fullest potential. It will give the greatest chance for our shadow sides to come to light. Make sure you are not acting from the core fear of your shadow side. The Sun, Moon, and Venus are squaring Mars, which has moved to the degree known as "the volcanic eruption." This brings the potential for things to break loose or explode (including the positive end of ideas breaking loose). The Sun has a sunspot complex harboring M-class solar flares and a massive coronal hole continues to grow, which will make Venus' transit of the Sun tomorrow exceptionally electric. Neptune will station retrograde today and will heighten both the confusion already present and the ability to fly off (the handle, into the ethers, etc.) but also our ability to step out of the matrix and gain clarity through our intuitive sense. We'll choose the latter. Mercury has moved to the degree in the zodiac that puts things on thin ice. Situations may get challenging, especially communications and telecommunications (including electronics). Things we hear may not make sense to us. For the next week the energy is going to move very fast and things will be pushed forward as if out of our control. We will need to go with the flow and not resist the changes. As I said in Friday's report, a correction is taking place on higher spiritual levels (the Earth). All of this is enough to confuse anyone. Understand that this is the energy - not you. The advice is to root yourself firmly in the ground like a weeping willow tree and sway with the flow of the wind.

Saturday, June 2 - Sunday, June 3, 2012

The Sun is beginning to respond to Venus' transit across it this Monday. A large fissure (coronal hole) has opened, exhaling a solar wind that will reach Earth that day. The Universe is electro-magnetic in nature; the plasmic conjunctions of the planets and the star combine to elicit effects on the Earth (and of course on humanity, which is symbiotic with the Earth). Stay tuned...

This weekend we have several things happening. Saturday's energy flows nicely and favors expressing ourselves through both interpersonal communications and the expression of skills and talents. These things want to find manifestation in the real world (saying what needs to be said and creating what needs to be created). Websites, blogs, and other forms of communication can make great strides under this energy. Overall, validation is highlighted, but the need for validation will only cause problems. The need for approval from others is sourced in fear and we do not operate from fear.

On Sunday morning at 8:30 am EDT the Moon will contact (via opposition) the degree of the New Moon/Solar Eclipse/Ring of Fire. In essence, the energy from that day will re-activate. This energy will be tricky and wise owls need to be aware. There will be a tendency to be subtly manipulated if we are not careful. Negative forces will be strong like they were at the eclipse, and they are just trying to make trouble for us in a variety of ways. We need to make extremely wise decisions and choices. Choose the option that most nourishes you. Sunday's energy also brings the ability to conquer the boundaries of space-time. Psychic connections between like-minded souls are enhanced, despite distance and time. Your spiritual family is closeby, so pay attention to messages that come in the form of synchronicities or intuition. We have much protection, so do not be alarmed by anything in this report - just be aware.

Friday, June 1, 2012 - Energy of Venus Transit Begins

The ancients taught that the Gibbous Moon phase was a time when trust in the processes of the Universe led to wisdom. A spectacular process of the Universe, the historic Venus transit of June 5-6, energetically begins today. Venus transits bring dramatic overhaul of relationships and values. Astrologically, Mars will square the Venus transit, which will produce "right turns" in these areas, often through strong forces of action, even aggression. The energy has been unusually aggressive since the New Moon and the Solar Eclipse - which was called the Ring of Fire Eclipse. The energy has also been exceptionally emotional, changeable, and mutable since then. Communication has also been the focus of challenge and the focus of release. All of this has been a set up for the Venus transit which will effect the microcosm of our interpersonal relationships and values, and the macrocosm of humanity's relationships and values in a specific way: the status quo is going to change. Major corrections are going to begin taking place. Gaia-Sophia, the Divine Being embodied as the Earth, is going to begin making "first contact" en masse. She is going to begin a process of directly contacting each member of humanity. In other words, she is going to make her presence known. The effects of this will progressively change life as we now know it. How do we know this? Because the Sabian symbol for the degree of the Venus transit is "a woman activist, in an emotional speech, dramatizing her cause." Gaia-Sophia is fully awake after her plunge from her Source. She has seen her shadow side and has re-connected with her power. Now she is ready to take control. We are blessed with the Divine opportunity to not only witness, but also participate as co-creators. It is our job to help this "spectacular process" by aligning our consciousness with hers - through play, kindness, love, beauty, and creativity because these are the qualities of her personality. Strive for these things and the Venus transit will awaken you to a new experience of life.

Thursday, May 31, 2012

Prepare for a unique day where emotions trump logic. The astrological configurations at the New Moon/Solar Eclipse on May 20 indicated that we would have an exceptionally emotional month and this is heightened with today's energy. However, today's emotional influences serve to strengthen the connection between our spiritual and physical bodies. The saying "your body is your temple" is the wisdom for the day. There has been a lot of miscommunication, resistance, and static in the air since the eclipse. This has caused extreme emotional reactions - which are ultimately stored in the body. Today is the day to pay attention and take care of your body. The lion is pictured today because cats are highly spiritual creatures and their spirits are strongly connected to their bodies. They are agile, fluid creatures. We want to be leonine today by stretching, exercising, walking, or moving in some way to enable the emotional "storage" to be released. This is especially true for anyone who has been in a bad mood or has been sad. Today people will be aggressively pressing their opinions, primarily because they feel misunderstood or disadvantaged. Don't expect people to make much sense today. Again, emotions will trump logic. Take care not to overstate your case and you'll stay in bounds. Re-focus emotions by staying in your body, in the present moment, and grounded to the mother (Earth).

Wednesday, May 30, 2012

Today's energy guides us to go off the beaten track, breaking away from familiar ground and going into unknown territory. Fear of change or fear of the unknown is the greatest obstacle to this, as is clinging to what's old or familiar when we know we need to move on. Today is about growth and spontaneous, in-depth communications. Ideas abound and are accessed through brainstorming with others or through following through on inspiration. As we approach the Venus transit, we want to make sure we are paying attention to details and authenticity.

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

Today we need to be fully prepared before engaging in something important. In addition, we need to be prepared for something or someone to come at us from out of the blue or out of thin air, as the potential for an "attack" is high. Some are being directly targeted. Fortify your personal defenses and maintain them all day. This energy also brings the feeling of general dissatisfaction, which some people will be vocal about, especially if they feel they've been "done wrong." Dissatisfaction can only come into play when we are following the illusory world of the matrix, which keeps us feeling incomplete and unsuccessful. When we are connected with the Earth and the natural world, we are at home. As we approach the Venus transit of June 5/6, a re-trenching of values is necessary. Where are you placing value? Are you placing too much value on the external, material world or on things from which you can derive no pleasure or sense of harmony? Let's turn the energy around today and aim our focus on the beauty that is alive and present all around us instead of being the target of forces that are trying to lead us into a deeper illusion of dissatisfaction. The feeling of dissatisfaction is impossible for those who recognize the truth and wonder in which we are enmeshed and co-creating. (Because in case you haven't seen it yet, since the solar eclipse on May 20, we have been bombarded by those forces disaligned with humanity and nature - which means we must be extra-vigilent to stay connected and centered.)

Saturday, May 26 - Monday, May 28, 2012

This weekend brings air to situations. The theme of air has been dominant the last few days, and when air energy is in force, dramatic events take place. This is what has been happening over the past few days and will continue through Monday. Remember "Wind" days from the Mayan Sacred Calendar, Tzolkin? (Tzolkin is another name for the Sun but is also the name of this particular calendar - same thing really.) Wind days blow in strong and hard and substantially change things.

But wind energy also enables powerful forces and powerful people to really extend themselves. A confluence of astrological events of great power involving 1) Vesta and tthe Black Moon (home, comfort, sense of peace), 2) Jupiter blowing through the last degrees of Taurus (expanded perception of what home really is), and 3) this weekend's conjunction of Mercury, the South Node, and the Sun (new thoughts about the past and how to bring a revamped version into the present). Plus the energy of last weekend's solar eclipse is still popping off and spinning off its Ring of Fire (not a good thing).

All in all, this weekend's energy is about letting air into situations. An energetic window (vortex) is being opened, which is wonderful - if we are careful what we let in. I posted this on twitter yesterday when I realized what was happening. It is very easy to be affected by negative energy, but also just as easy to turn back toward the more positive side. I don't talk very much about eclipses, but this past solar eclipse energy was and continues to be impossible to ignore. The airwaves are charged. People are saying things that they wouldn't normally say. They are going out on limbs and, on the other side, going off the rails. Quick episodic remarks have great power beind them - power to heal or harm. We need to be viligent and super-careful about what we say. Give things some time (some air) before speaking them. Be aware that forces that oppose the feeling that comes with home - comfort, peace, heart, and hearth - are out in full this weekend. As a sort of tonic and counter-measure of protection, maintain a strong connection with the Earth by being outside and aware of all the beautiful things in the air and pull back into this if you feel yourself getting down or negative in some way.

Friday, May 25, 2012

Today, something from the past returns in order for us to resolve it or to see something about it that dictates a new course of action for the future. However, after the super-conjunction of May 5th, we are now recalibrated to newer, brighter personal energetic frequencies, and we will handle these situations differently. We are much stronger after the great purging and clearing that took place at that time. This means that we are able to cope with the accelerating intensity (insanity) of life right now because we are more "grounded" just like electricity is grounded. But people around us may have become more "ungrounded" and are not only not coping well, but may be angry that we are different or not following their status quo. Some people haven't figured out that they are not in control. Opportunities arise today for everyone to make corrections. We have a chance to do things a different way or look at things a different way. Maybe a situation you've been avoiding now seems less daunting. Maybe a situation can be something other than what you thought it could be. The point is to see the past through a refreshed lens. We'll really have to follow our hearts because the day is all about destiny - where we've come from and where we are going - and destiny can only be driven by the heart.

Thursday, May 24, 2012

Today is all about what's in the AIR. The energy motivates us to make changes, although we may not be sure which direction to take. We want to reform things. Listen to messages that are coming in around you. Look deeper within yourself for the change in direction you need. Overdramatizing situations will lead to overreactions, but doing nothing will lead to inertia. As people will want to break out of restraints, it may cause them to become argumentative or overbearing. Strength of character will be what wins out today. The position of Venus continues to ask us to get back to basics and simple pleasures. It is important to cultivate this in preparation for the upcoming Venus transit of June 5/6. Counter any complications by sticking to what you truly value. You can transform any situation by moving into your personal "center" and taking things down to the basic level and moving out from there. This will guide the directions we choose. To do this, however, we will need to slow down, especially when communicating something important. Mercury has entered Gemini, joining the Sun, Venus, and the South Node. Mercury is now contacting the last Sunday's solar eclipse point, so communications, telecommunications (including devices) are prone to difficulties (especially for those born in the early degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces). In other words, the eclipse energy is being re-activated to a certain degree (see last weekend's post in the archives for more information on the eclipse energy). Again, slow down and keep things as simple as possible. Visualize gently blowing the seeds of the dandelion in the picture.

Wednesday, May 23, 2012

Today we need to get back to basics and simple joys. Things have become much too complicated lately. The energy favors celebrations and gatherings with others, but radiating a spirit of joy is what is most important. Connect with your inner sense of joy and this will naturally translate outward. We can do this by celebrating the simple things in life - beloved pets, the beautiful expressions of nature, and acts of kindness. My cat Max makes a return appearance on the picture today to remind us to keep it simple. The energy is about connecting with others, so separating yourself out works the energy in the opposite direction and will create emotional issues. The theme of forward vision continues also, combining the need to be thoughtful and cautious when planning the future, especially if you are involved with a something/someone that is shady, untrustworthy, or uncommitted. Don't be impulsive with this today. Be strategic.

Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Like a hawk, today our ability to see what others miss is heightened, enabling us to gain awareness of anyplace true intentions are hiding behind a facade. People will be unveiling their true colors (in particular tendencies toward elitism and bossiness are more evident). There is also a push-pull dynamic of not wanting to commit or give ourselves completely to something versus wanting to take action. The rub comes from wanting a guarantee of success. There is no such guarantee but the Universe signals us today to go ahead and take a chance. The worst that could happen is a bruised ego and we aren't interested much in egos. All of this may be combined with a feeling of being "out on your own" or isolated. This is natural today, so don't let it hold you back. Mercury and Jupiter are conjunct, so if you need to teach or express something, today is the best day of the year to do it. The Moon will also conjunct Venus (which is retrograde) in Gemini, and Gemini's are wonderful communicators. There is a lot going on today, but all in all it is a day of "building." What we see, do, and say will form a strong foundation for the future so use your power of vision to look far ahead.

Monday, May 21, 2012

Where to begin? I'll start by saying I've chosen this picture of fish in honor of all the wise old owls who are Pisces (especially those born at the beginning of Pisces, between February 19 and 25) because they took the brunt of the energy from yesterday's solar eclipse. If you recall, I wrote that the energy was going to affect our emotional bodies, particularly for the signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces. But it's the Pisceans that took the direct hit and it was a massive one. The fact that Neptune is conjunct these early Pisces' Suns left them wide open to bear the burden. And it was a heavy one. Consider what spaceweather.com wrote: "An interpanetary shock wave possibly associated with the M5-class solar flare of May 17th swept past Earth on May 20th around 0200 UT." This shock wave wasn't a lingering result of that sunspot. That energy hit on Friday and Saturday (see Friday's report). This vaguely-defined "shock wave" was exactly what I said it was going to be: "[the energy] will be used by Archontic (the term used by the Gnostic seers to denote negative beings at odds with the evolution of humanity) forces to knock us off balance with the coding of the Earth." In essence, the Pisceans took the shock wave of negative energy into their bodies. Now they are going to have to transmute it and to do that, they need to give it to the Earth. If you are a Pisces (and if you were born in the timeframe listed above do not disregard or minimize this!) BY ALL MEANS go outside and consciously give over the emotional wave you took. The best thing to do is put your bare feet on the ground. It doesn't matter how you handled your emotions yesterday (you probably did not do well, there was much confusion). What matters is that you get it out of your body. Now, this is true for all of the people born under the mutable signs listed above. Each of you took a share. But we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Pisces among us.

So, for all of us, we need to ground down and maintain our connection with Mother Earth as we go through the aftermath of the eclipse today. Remember, it was a ring of fire - a ring of madness - and people will be responding in dramatic ways. People are going to be unnaturally aggressive. They will be territorial, domineering, and prone toward risky behavior. Some people will come with things from out of of the blue, doing (and saying) things that make no sense. This is where wise old owls will be able to see what others are missing. You'll know the reason behind the way people are acting. You may be fighting some of this yourself, and that's ok. It's strong energy, so do your best to not succumb to the imbalance that is being forced upon us. The way to maintain your sanity is to redirect yourself toward nature as much as possible. Be on the lookout for birds, butterflies, beautiful flowers, and insects. These are instant reconnectors. Stretching out your body will work wonders, too.

Again, thank you to all the Pisces out there reading. If you have a story to tell or just want to say YES, feel free to write to me. I cannot reply to everyone but I do read all of my mails. The Oracle Report facebook community that was started by readers is also a wonderful place to connect with others.

Saturday, May 19 - Sunday, May 20, 2012 - Annular Solar Eclipse

There is much ado about this weekend's New Moon/Annular Solar Eclipse, called the Ring of Fire, including alignment with the central star in the Pleiades. We live in an electric Universe and these conjunctions will certainly effect the electromagnetic fields of all things. But most of the discussion takes our minds off-planet and into the ethers of the galaxy. This is destabilizing to our psyches and causes us to become ungrounded with our mother - the goddess embodied as Earth. Earlier this week I talked about how the common belief that ascension takes us into so-called higher, cosmic realms is a trick of dark forces that stand against humanity. To ascend, we don't look up; we look down. This eclipse isn't the big deal everyone thinks it is, unless you consider a reign of madness a big deal. The really big deal is the upcoming Venus transit of the Sun on June 5/6 but more on that another day.

For wise old owls, the story about this weekend's New Moon/Solar Eclipse is that it is going to enable those who have attained a certain level of discernment (those who are "awake") to see what others miss. You may feel disconnected from the dominant energy as if you were outside of a fish tank looking in. You will see what is going on around you because you are outside of the swirl (the ring of fire) that others are intimately engaged in. Over the next month, you will find yourself puzzled by the behavior of others. You'll say "what were they thinking?" This is because there will be an acceleration of mass insanity. When light is either turned up or blocked, people lose their minds. Wise old owls have learned to operate in the dark and they are not tricked by distractions of dark forces.

This New Moon/Solar Eclipse squares Neptune in Pisces and conjuncts the South Node in Gemini/opposes the North Node in Sagittarius. The cross shape is completed by a wide square to Mars in Virgo. This means an imprint on our emotional bodies. Be on guard! Be discriminating! Don't buy into anything that takes your focus off of your connection with the Earth. We need to maintain emotional grounding and not fly off into the cosmos with fluffy talk about beautiful energy entering the planet. It isn't. It will be used by Archontic (the term used by the Gnostic seers to denote negative beings at odds with the evolution of humanity) forces to knock us off balance with the coding of the Earth. We just had an amazing direct re-alignment with the planet and we don't want all of that hard work and energy to be siphoned off and devoured.

Admittedly this is a strong statement to make. Some readers may be turned off by this report. But we are all in this for wisdom not illusion and we are engaged as spiritual warriors. Keep your owl eye wide open with laser-sharp focus.

Friday, May 18, 2012

The Moon returns to the sign of Taurus for the second time this lunar month, joining the Black Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, and the Sun. Sunspot 1476, which has been so active for the past week, shot off an M-5 class solar flare yesterday. The energy will make a direct hit on Earth today and tomorrow. If you've been part of the corps of 3,000 wise old owls around the world reading the Oracle Report for any length of time, you know that when a solar flare of this magnitude is released, it has a significant impact on the electro-magnetic fields of the planet and on us. Situations and events in our lives are "charged." The energy gets even more intense than it already is on a daily basis at this time in life.

Today's energy prompts us to clean out any old habits, routines, or situations that have lingered since the Great Purging of May 5th. The energy faciliates clearing away anything that remains cluttered inside of us. Bring air and light in as much as possible today. It is important to know that people will be projecting what they themselves want to get rid of (their own fears and insecurities) in an attempt to dump it on someone else. They will want to blame others. If you experience this today, remember that this is about them - not you. Don't take the responsibility. This may prove to be tricky, however, because the energy leans heavily toward working cooperatively with others and sharing. Egos may get in the way. Unawake people "inside the matrix" are coded to respond competitively to the day's energy. But wise old owls have no interest in self-aggrandizement. We are interested in harmony and beauty. We recognize that we are part of something much greater than ourselves - something that created the beauty and harmony of the hibiscus in this picture that was taken by a wise old owl in Virginia yesterday. In the face of this, who among us is that important?

Thursday, May 17, 2012

Today, at all costs, avoid over-reactions. Impulsivity is heightened, causing people to respond to the energy with erratic behavior. You'll see this demonstrated while people are driving and within interpersonal interactions. We also need to guard against selling ourselves short or settling for less. There is an interesting aspect to today's energy that brings second chances with things. Something may return to you - a renewed interest, proposal, or opportunity; something forgotten; or a person with whom you've lost contact. We always want to pay attention to synchronicities, but today these will take form to bring something back to us. What's showing up for you?

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Today other peoples' opinion of us can take on too much meaning if we let it. Don't underestimate yourself or limit what you think you are capable of based on others' beliefs. Today is about connecting with our inner core and strengthening self-sufficiency. It is about at-ONE-ment and living in the moment we create, not what others want us to create or what others want to create for us. It would be easy to continually try to adjust ourselves to outside forces today, but this will only scatter our energy. Stay grounded like a sturdy tree. As I discussed yesterday for the Venus retrograde, we are going to go deeper into ourselves to bring forth the capabilities for a richer experience of life. There is a plan in place here, so trust the process.

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 - Venus Stations Retrograde

Beautiful Venus stations retrograde at approximately 10:30 am EDT today at 23 Gemini 59, and will remain retrograde until June 27 when it stations direct at 07 Gemini 29. When we say a planet stations retrograde it means it appears to move backward in the sky. The day a planet stations retgrograde usually makes things, including people, go a little haywire. Sometimes this even happens the day before the planet stations retrograde, which certainly seemed to be the case yesterday. Venus retrograde is going to do three things: 1) it will strengthen relationships that withstood the recalibration of the May 5th super-conjunction of the Sun, the Black Moon and Jupiter and cause relationships that are not solid to go under; 2) it is going to increase our level of sensitivity (our intuitive, psychic sensitivity. You may have already noticed that you are more sensitive to energy and events since the super-conjunction.); and 3) it is going to shift us into different life circumstances.

Remember also that the super-conjunction brought a mystical re-connection (direct hit) with the planet. While Venus is retrograde, we will begin to participate even more deeply with the dreaming of the planet. (The planet is a divine being - an Aeon, as the Gnostics said - and we are a manifestation of her imagination, creative companions on her journey home.)

The Sabian symbol for the degree Venus stations retrograde is "children skating on ice." It references the need to make the most of challenging situations and to acknowledge and adjust to changes as they develop. It speaks to skating over difficulties and to avoid being out on thin ice or ice that is cracking. I've chosen the snow fox here as a visual representation of the energy because there is also an element to the retrograde where we can be deceived or outfoxed. In Animal Speak, Ted Andrews writes that fox symbolizes shifting situations and to keep ourselves camoflauged to some degree. It also represents that magic is afoot, which is certainly the case at this point in time. But keep in mind that people working from their core fears will be triggered into ruses to deceive others in an effort to manipulate events to their desired outcomes. It won't work, but it will create a lot of drama if you become entangled.

The Sabian symbol for the degree Venus stations direct is "an old fashioned well." It references deep wisdom and speaks to the fact that we will develop untapped inner resources during the retrograde. Both symbols reference water in some way, and water represents emotions. The circumstances that alter during the retrograde will take us into ever-greater alignment with our deepest experience of life in our journey with Gaia. (Note I say "deepest" experience and not "highest" experience because contrary to popular belief, ascension/enlightment doesn't take us "out there" or "up there" - it takes us "down there" and "in there" with the planet, not a lofty external realm. This deception is one of the great tricks - the great ruses - of dark forces.)

Take note of what transpires today and watch the involution of events during the retrograde. By the time we reach June 27, our feelings and abilities will be running deep.

Monday, May 14, 2012

The keyword for today is appearances. How things "look" or appear takes on more importance than usual. With this, we are also seeing what is underneath the surface or what is behind people's motives. We have the power of x-ray vision. Everyone is on display, so step outside of yourself and consider how your actions may look before you take action with something. There is also a dynamic in play today where we crave room to move but at the same time want a sense of order. Big tasks will most likely require more help from others. This could cause a certain amount of conflict if anyone is being too fussy. Control freaks will have a field day today.

Saturday, May 12 - Sunday, May 13, 2012

The Sun continues to unleash M-class solar flares that border on X-class. On Saturday, the Sun and Jupiter are located at the same place in the sky. Jupiter expands everything and takes it to the greatest proportions. So whatever is happening is magnified exponentially. Saturday's energy centers on what brings us joy, comfort, and a sense of home. Like the butterfly in this picture, we are drawn toward beauty and want to take in every drop of what can be beautiful in life. The effects of Jupiter enhance this, giving us the opportunity for a truly wonderful day. It is a gift for our inner, real self. If you are on the opposite end of all of this and are facing difficulties, there is ample energy to solve problems. Focus on what is meaningful. What is truly valuable and important? All week long we have been adjusting to our new wings, so to speak. The recalibration from last week has taken some time to adjust to. Saturday's energy enables us to integrate the upgrade and the changes that have resulted in the process. Resurrection is happening.

Sunday is a different story altogether. Basic, primal instincts will be activated, causing tendencies toward territoriality, possessiveness, aggression, and control. Armed with foreknowledge, you'll recognize if and when this happens around you. It is a signal that someone is not grounded and not correcting themselves to be in alignment with the planet's correction. Part of the process of recalibration involves resonance. People go out of resonance with each other, meaning their personal energetic frequencies are no longer compatible or in harmony. This is a principle of nature and there is nothing you can do about it. Each of us determines our frequency based on our psychological, emotional, mental, and physical states. Survival instincts, primarily the avoidance of basic fears (abandonment, rejection, loneliness, etc.) drive events of the day. Remain grounded in the awareness that we are deeply cocooned in the safety of our mother ship Earth. If someone is responding out of basic instincts, there is a core fear being triggered.

Keep in mind that since Jupiter is in play here, it is possible for Saturday's energy to bleed into Sunday and Sunday's energy to bleed into Saturday, so we could see a mixed bag.

Friday, May 11, 2012

Today, wise old owls will need to rise above troubled waters to find safe ground. In the process, we are going to guide others to do the same. In this context, "safe ground" refers to emotional stability. Strong solar activity is stirring up emotions and we need a place to stow them. People will tend to feel aggressive, anxious, and worrisome today. Because you are developing the ability of clear vision, you may be called upon to guide someone else through an emotional situation and into calmness. This is mainly done through resonating a sense of groundedness and inner peace, but also happens naturally when people are just around you and in your energetic field. Energetic signals always entrain to the highest frequency, so you are affecting people just by being you and walking around on the planet. However, if you are presented with a situation where someone needs direct intervention, the best thing to do is take them outside into nature and shift their focus. Allow them to verbally express their feelings and let the planet absorb them (don't take them on yourself!). Going for a walk will work wonders.

Today we are also integrating whatever was pointed out to us yesterday and deciding what is the best course of action. Today is a time of vision and linking together different things. Envision what you want to create or experience on your journey with the planet. Look ahead not backward. Stay tuned for updates on sunspot AR1476 - it is squaring facing Earth and stirring wildly.

Thursday, May 10, 2012

Right now we are undergoing growing pains resulting from the weekend's super-conjunction of the Sun, the Black Moon, and Jupiter, and the super Full Moon that was the biggest and brightest of the year. Our energetic fields were re-calibrated in a blazing interface with the planet, and the upgrade was a big one. However, if we didn't have that upgrade, the things that the Sun is doing now would be blowing us away psychologically and physically (as it is going to do to most people over the next few days). The biggest sunspot in years is extremely active with intense radio bursts and M-class flares, and it continues to amp up. It is getting stronger. This photograph was taken of the Tuesday night sky over Alberta, Canada by Z. Kenwell (on www.spaceweather.com). It shows the effects of the Sun on the Earth and the energy that is permeating us.

If you recall (or read in the Archives), on April 26, I discussed how the Sun "stood down" or collapsed growing electro-magnetic fields, which spared us significant personal distress. The Earth signaled the Sun to do this because it would have been too much for our own electro-magnetic fields to endure at the time. But our fields have now been "purified" by the burn-off from the super-conjunction. Last week's metaphorical "descent and rise of the phoenix" was an alchemical process of purging our energetic fields and re-calibrating them to be able to withstand increasingly higher cosmic frequencies. These are the technical specifics. The practical specifics today are based on the outisde forces taking over to point out something specific to us. There is something right in front of our faces that we are overlooking. We are supposed to see what's truly important in our situation and disregard (and even evade) the rest. We're facing challenging situations and we need to make the best of them. What's being pointed out to you today? What's really important in life? There is a LOT of static and nonsense that is cluttering the air. We've been recalibrated to rise above the chaos, not to be a part of it. We do this by taking ourselves out of the matrix and putting ourselves into nature. As I always say, nature is the only thing that will keep us sane as we go through these times. I will be monitoring the Sun closely over the next few days, which are sure to be eventful on Earth. If you follow me on Twitter, this is where I will report activity in real time.

Wednesday, May 9, 2012

This picture was taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory of a giant hole in the Sun's atmosphere. There is also a "behemoth" sunspot (number 1476) - the largest in years - that released not one but two CMEs on Monday, which are impacting the electromagenetic fields of the planet and our e-m fields. This sunspot harbors potential to release x-class solar flares (the strongest) over the next few days. If you are feeling things "in the wind" you are sensing this energy. It will most definitely produce dramatic effects on people and we will see this reflected in the world around us. Today's energy is extremely fast-paced. We feel propelled almost as if out of our own control. It's better to hold on for the ride because resisting it will only tire us out. Wise old owls will need to fly with the currents instead of against them.

Tuesday, May 8, 2012

As the picture of the hummingbird indicates, today there is a buzz of energy that opens up a vast possibility. This is being enhanced by a strong coronal mass ejection released by the Sun yesterday which is on its way to Earth and will reach us tomorrow. A new energetic field is expanding - one that we are now re-calibrated to resonate with. A new option is opening up to us - a new beginning, a fresh start, a new project, a new intention, a new direction, a new mindset, a new identity, anything - but the energy to do this and the potential for it to be successful is ENORMOUS. The Sun's close position to Jupiter plays a part in this, too, as Jupiter expands everything it touches. So...since the new field of opportunity is open to you, what do you want to create? Remember that we are not only firmly grounded and calibrated to a closer frequency with the planet, but we are also engaged in a co-creative journey. It is designed for experiences in the dreaming attention (life). The choice of what to seed into the field is ours today. It will take a long time to develop, but it will develop into something limitless. Does it sound too good to be true? It almost is. It is a rare gift from the Earth, the Sun, and Jupiter.

Monday, May 7, 2012

Today's energy brings fresh air and new light to situations. We are "future-oriented" and anythng that you plan or put in place for the future will yield nice results. But there are a couple of things to watch out for today. Expectations may need to be adjusted. We're coming off the weekend's super-conjunction and want to fly high. It will take some time to rise to the level that is proportional to the level we "fell." If you find yourself feeling like you are falling short or are failing in some way, check if you are trying to hang on to something in the past. We've released a lot over the past week, but psychologically we may feel the void and feel confused. We're new (renewed) but it is subtle and it may throw you off a little. It may leave you wanting. This is normal. Our bodies need some time to adjust to the physical overhaul that we received. Give yourself a break. Don't get caught in a psychological loop of self-analysis. Let this unfold naturally by trusting the process. If you feel wiped out, slow your "ascent" by resting as much as possible. Stay in the present moment by finding aspects of nature that remind you of your connection. Butterflies are your signal that transformation is in play, so if you see one, note the message.

Saturday, May 5 - Sunday, May 6, 2012

Saturday brings us the super-conjunction of the Sun, the Black Moon, and Jupiter along with the super Full Moon (biggest and brightest of the year). For the past three days, we've been in a free fall just like the mythical phoenix, burning off whatever needs to be released from our lives. We've come to the limit of what we can carry that no longer serves us on our journey with Gaia. We have streamlined. On Saturday, we hit the ground in a spectacular communion with the planet. This means that our individual energetic frequencies connect with the planet and are re-calibrated to be in alignment with her. There are many reasons for this but the main one is to enable us to withstand the increasingly intense energy that is driving most people out of their minds. A massive correction is taking place (and will continue through 2013) and anyone who is not firmly grounded in (in resonance with) the planet will suffer at the neurological level. The "descent" that I've been talking about the last three days is an actual physiological process. The neurons of the brain are receiving an upgrade but it manifests to us as changes in our thinking and feeling, which in turn affects our decisions and therefore the status of our lives. To sustain sanity, we must continually refine our level of integrity (become kinder, stronger, better people). Saturday we directly contact the planet (hit the ground) and on Sunday we begin the ascent as a new form - an upgraded human being. The internal shift will cause our external worlds to begin to shift.

On the practical level, if you tend to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, you will want to dial it down because margaritas and the Black Moon are not a pretty combination. The Black Moon causes emotions to run high and we react without thinking because our shadow sides are engaged. We naturally respond to the world from our core fear. Those who are unaware of their shadow sides (most everyone in the matrix) are unconsciously driven by this hidden force. Stay grounded in good, clean fun and steer clear of the potential for volatile situations. Remember, this is a super-conjunction as well as a super Full Moon - people will go off the rails. Spend time in nature and reinforce the direct hit with Mother Earth. Taureans, Scorpios, and those with Taurus rising take heed: this energy is affecting you the strongest.

Friday, May 4, 2012

Day 3 of the three-day period before the super-conjunction of the Sun, the Black Moon, and Jupiter: As we continue our deep descent into a blaze of transformation, bright light accompanies us. This photo is last night's sky over Poland (by M. Nikodem), capturing Venus at its brightest for all of 2012. Tomorrow's Full Moon (which also accompanies the super-conjunction) is the biggest and brightest of all the Full Moons this year. By now you are probably reaching your limit with something. You are ready to be released from something that has been weighing heavily on you. This is the last day of the "fall" of the metaphorical phoenix and with it comes emotional turbulence. If you have been following this process and have surrendered yourself to it, you are probably in a controlled dive. Those who are not aware of what is happening are not faring so well. This is a highly personal, individual metamorphosis - a journey we must undertake solely with Spirit. We can't help others with it very much. I've likened this three-day period to a vision quest, with the vision being received Saturday, and also to the descent and rise of the phoenix, with the alchemical fire combusting Saturday. Imagine the most beautiful winged being you could ever conceive. This is what we have the opportunity to become tomorrow. Whatever needs to be purged from your life is trying to be burned up and released right now. Transformation is often painful. But the farther you fall is directly proportional to the farther you will rise. Have courage and perform your dive gracefully and with impeccability in a form which befits a true spiritual warrior and honors the force of Nature which has gifted us with the opportunity.

Thursday, May 3, 2012

If you missed yesterday's report, you will want to go to the Archives and read it. Today is day 2 of the "descent of the phoenix" as we approach Saturday's super-conjunction. Several people have asked about Saturday. In the metaphor of the flight of the phoenix (which is the process by which transits involving the Black Moon operate) Saturday is when we will hit "the bottom" of the energy. Sunday will begin the rise or rebirth. Today's energy involves communication. We feel driven to express. This is part of the purging or burning up on our descent and it is designed to release or free us from something. This should not be viewed as negative. It is natural. Rest assured that whatever is welling up to be released is meant to happen. The hard part with the energy is feeling like we don't have any control over what is happening. This is also part of the process. The Black Moon is not at all interested in controlled, restrained reactions. But we can maintain grace by trying to hold to a live and let live attitude. Express yourself, but disengage from trying to control the outcome because that is out of your hands. We have to let the Universe take today where it wants it to go. This report may not make much sense this morning, but by the end of the day you may be surprised that you had an encounter that fits the description. Remember to not view these three days as negative, but as corrective.

Wednesday, May 2, 2012

The next three days are the set-up for Saturday's super-conjunction of the Sun, the Black Moon, and Jupiter. Transits involving the Black Moon are precise and follow the process of the mythical flight of the phoenix: descent, hit, and rise. Between now and Friday we are in the "descent of the phoenix." You may have already been feeling this over the last couple of days. We are weighed down. It feels like problems, responsibilities, or concerns have been mounting and dragging us down. If you have been shouldering other people's burdens or issues (or "garbage") you are getting to the point where you aren't going to be able to put up with it anymore. The descent of the phoenix phase takes us to our breaking point so that we can break free. This three day period is much like a vision quest. We will gain wisdom and insight about the state of our lives, relationships, and spirits in order to free ourselves from what is holding us back. Remember, on the planetary level, we are participating in a mass or collective "correction" which involves the elimination of that which is not in alignment with our highest and best. This is energetically draining and heavy. It makes us very tired. If you feel like you are falling, you are, but don't worry - it is all part of the process and there is no way to fight it. The best way to handle this is to surrender to it and consciously dive. Recognize that each of us is, in some way, undertaking a vision quest to release a burden. And if you find yourself getting angry or acting out, understand that this is a necessary part of what is happening. The breaking point comes on Saturday, but until then the "fall" will accelerate.

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

The theme for today's energy is "longing." We long for something other than what we have - material items, financial equality or freedom, a change in the status of something, appreciation, and on and on. The vast desire for things that seem out of our reach will elicit feelings of jealousy in some. You can go the endless route of longing today but it only leads to unhappiness (and reactions that are not healthy or even sane). Wise old owls know that anything of true value comes from inside of us, not outside of us. If you find yourself drawn into the illusion of the material world, stop and go inside yourself. Take yourself out of the mindset that is tricking you into going on an endless quest for something elusive. Examine what is of true value - peace, harmony, beauty, kindness, love, humility, sharing, and whatever else your inner self tells you is valuable. We have all that we need right there inside of us, and the feeling of deficiency is merely a tool of the powers of the matrix to keep us off-balance. We know better and it isn't going to work on us today.

Monday, April 30, 2012

The symbol for the degree of the position of the Sun today (the Sabian symbol) is " a woman sprinkling flowers." This is quite fitting for "Beltane Eve." Beltane is the ancient celebration of spring and fertility, which later became May Day. It is directly associated with flowers. Flowers are external evidence of internal beauty. They are a creative manifestation of the dreaming of Gaia. So today's energy is about spreading your internal beauty out into the world. Consciously look for flowers today and when you see one, reinforce your connection with the planet. The planet is a sentient being and we are sentient beings of her creation, gifted with the opportunity to participate in her journey. As she undergoes a critical stage in her journey, the only way we can remain sane is to connect and "ground" ourselves in the planet. Today she takes special notice of those whose psyches resonate to her own frequency (which is much slower than ours, primarily because we are dissociated from nature and are being tricked into vibrating at the speed of the matrix). Flowers are a reminder for us to slow down. Today is a day for our minds to take a rest. It is a day to nourish the body. The negative expression of today's energy is evidenced by people trying to keep up appearances (the energy is very "visual") and tumultuous emotional reactions to perceived injustices or sleights. Today is a day to loosen up and forget about the matrix. We aren't going to be interested in participating in the constant drive for success and accomplishment that keeps us off center. This is the goddess' energy and her only desire for us is to just be present with her and enjoy the beauty that is all around us.

Saturday, April 28 - Sunday, April 29, 2012

It may seem like there are many choices or decisions this weekend. There is much to do or much that we want to do, but we need to make choices that truly nourish us (what is good for us). It is important that we don't try to do too much. The themes of the energy involve "give and take" and barriers being broken down between you and others. It's primarily about bringing equilibrium to relationships. Saturday's energy is lighter and brighter and has the potential to bring us great joy and an inner feeling of warmth that radiates. Sunday's energy is a bit different. We may have to cross over into the "dark" side to bring something into the light.

Friday, April 27, 2012

It's a windy day for sure! Situations and circumstances will change several times today, requiring us to adjust course frequently. This means we should not get stuck on one thing because we will become frustrated. Don't get blown away by this energy. Remember that anytime there are strong winds, Spirit is close. This energy is changeable, but it is also inspirational (in-spir-ational, with the emphasis on the spirit part). Protective guidance accompanies all of this, so follow things through on their natural course. Don't fight it. Also, wisdom is going to be disseminated today. Sometimes our lessons are hard learned, but if we stay open and don't try to come to a conclusion too soon, it will be easier on us today. Be aware that today everyone will be trying to satisfy their needs, some more selfishly than others, and many with blinders on to those around them. We will call them the Tasmanian devils. Steer clear - they are unpredictable.

Thursday, April 26, 2012

Today our inner Wise Old Owl stares back at us. This is another way to say that our shadow side is right in front of our faces. Last night, the prevailing energy brought our shadow sides to the forefront and this continues today. This is not happening so much in the context of our interactions with others, it is happening on subtle, internal levels (so our shadow sides aren't "erupting" to the surface like lava, but billowing up like smoke). If you have been following my site for any length of time, you know that I believe that we are participating in the "dreaming" of our planet and accompanying her on her journey. The Sun was set to deliver a massive x-class solar flare last night or today (and therefore induce dramatic energetic effects to our psyches, bodies, as well as dramatic events in our lives), but overnight the energy for this was drawn down. The Sun drew down its electromagnetic field to hold this back. The Sun and the Earth are are in direct communication and, contrary to popular belief, the Sun is not the generator of life in our system, it is the generator of energy to help evolve and sustain life in our system. I think the Earth signaled the Sun to stand down last night. Becuase the energy was centered around our shadow sides coming out, an x-class flare directed at Earth would have created intense distress, strife, and chaos. We were spared this. If the Sun does power back up today to discharge the energy, it will not be as strong. So...back to the wise old owl staring back at us. Although its gaze is powerful, it is purposeful and rather graceful today. The purpose is to have us take a long look at ourselves and clear away something that we have been doing that is creating anxiety and inner distress. What can you remove or draw away from your situation today? This is probably a fear (the root of the shadow side). What kind of inner battle can you stand down from? Give the planet your struggle. She will take and return the power of it to you in a purified form. Do you know the power of purified power? Engage this process today and make the conscious connection with the planet.

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

We have two dynamics at play today. During the daytime hours, it may seem like there is no way to overcome the distance (the gorge) between you and something else (an answer, a person, a situation, an obstacle). There is, but it will take time, energy, and, above all, help. This energy is trying to help us overcome separations of all kinds and solve problems. But it does this by making us see where we need help and it will force us to seek help if the situation is important. Not asking for help or taking short-cuts is not going to work. If we haven't successfully navigated the energy of the daytime, we are going to feel it. Emotions that are clogged will come up to be cleared. Our shadow sides will come out. If you have read my book The Black Moon: Guide to Healing the Shadow Side you know that our shadow side is where our core fear is housed. Tonight's energy will bring our core fear and our "issues" up to the surface. It calls for bravery. If you start to have trouble, you may want to re-read the section of the book that discusses your particular core fear (chapter 2, according to your sign, and you can look up your which sign your Black Moon in the Appendix). This will facilitate a productive encounter with your shadow side and in turn enable you to regain some of the personal power that is lost to it. (NOTE: If you have the Black Moon in Gemini, this may be especially important for you because the Moon is in Gemini today and tonight. Instead of fearing rejection, reject the need for approval.)

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

We have a bit of an emotional, serious day in store today. Last week, new opportunities presented themselves or at least made themselves known as possibilities. Today we have the exact opposite, with the theme of loss tempting us to give up or throw everything away. This is the extreme expression of the energy, but the temptation to go to that level is strong. This is part of a process of grief and we need allow ourselves space to feel it if we begin to notice it. The energy is trying to get us to let go of something that is no longer there or is no longer working. To do this, sometimes we need to acknowledge what we have lost or what we are in the throes of losing. All of this will cause some people to become exceptionally stubborn. Stubbornness leads to inertia - not growth, which is what we are interested in here. This picture will help to remind you to look at your life in totality, not just one part of it. In the wide open field of possibilities (the white flowers), it is easy to stare at the one thing that does not fit in with the rest (the red flower). If you focus only on the red flower, you miss the rest of the picture.

Monday, April 23, 2012

The position of the Sun today is the degree known as "the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." The energy enables us to link, integrate, and connect things that have been in conflict or separated in some way. This is exceptionally creative energy that builds things. It follows on the heels of the electrically-charged weekend that brought about revelations and changes, so it will help us adjust to what is happening to us (an electrical upgrade to our mental, emotional, and physical bodies, including our DNA and nervous systems). The Universe is bridging the way we used to be with the way we are going to be. If you get a headache today, know that it is because you are changing your mind. This energy is going to hit our minds the hardest today, causing our thinking to be somewhat scattered and chaotic, which in turn could hinder our ability to communicate. Think before you speak, because the tendency is to say something we shouldn't today. If someone isn't understanding what you are trying to say, try a different approach. Write it out or show a visual representation. If people aren't paying attention, ask yourself if they are ready for what you are showing or if they are interested. Are you wasting your time? If you come away at the end of the day feeling wounded in some way, understand that this is happening to force you to recognize and release something that you don't want to let go of. What is keeping you from taking a leap to the other side of the spectrum?

Saturday, April 21 - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - New Moon

Today begins the New Moon in Taurus. The four days of this moon phase are electrically charged and will continue to reverberate throughout the remainder of the lunar cycle (until May 19, 2012). On May 5 we are having what I am calling "the Super Conjunction" of the Sun and the Black Moon at 15 Taurus 38 (with Jupiter closeby and an opposition with Saturn and the Earth). The specific data is given for astrologers who follow, but all anyone needs to understand is things that transpire this weekend are "highly charged" - dramatic, eventful, possibly painful, chaotic, life-altering, and most likely developing for some time. The energy of the Mars' retrograde primed the field for this, pumping everyone up, preparing everyone to be able to handle the charge. I am speaking literally of electrical charges - this is actually happening via solar plasma that was stunningly released this past week. Then, exceptionally intense energy enters on May 4-5th at the Full Moon phase, and it will drive people to howl at the moon (rabidly). I dislike such cliches but the metaphor is more like reality in this case. Oracle Report readers are engaged in being more like wise old owls who see ahead, so we can plan the next two weeks, knowing what is happening. The intention here is to help you stay grounded during the period of time. Let's face it, predatory behavior is at a high level. The bullies are out in the schoolyard and there are a lot of them! You can even see this in animal behavior. Aggressive breeds of dogs are responding to this energy. You won't want to be at a dog park at the Full Moon. All of these things and all of this energy is a by-product of the "correction" that the planet is undertaking in its stellar journey. No one can refute the evidence that the pole has shifted (though there is some discussion over how much - I tend to go with the reports of the native Inuit in the polar region itself). The Earth is moving and we all have to follow suit. Resistance to this results in suffering. Trying to keep things under rigid control will be what does people in this month. This weekend you are being hit with lightning in some way - some are getting a higher voltage than others. Gracefully accept what is happening, knowing that we are safely and securely folded in the arms of the planet. Happy Earth Day! (For more information about the correction of the planet, see John Lash's book Not in His Image and his site at www.metahistory.org.)

Friday, April 20, 2012

The Sun moved into Taurus last evening, joining the Black Moon and Jupiter. The next month is going to be life-altering for all Taureans and it will reach maximum power on May 5th. For each of us, our sense of safety and security will be the underlying theme. If you are feeling unsettled, anxious, or even a little fearful, you are feeling the energy. It is revitalized energy and refreshment - but it is new energy - different energy - and it doesn't feel like anything we are used to or have ever experienced. There is, however, a "suredness" behind it. Like a clear mountain stream, it is going in a certain direction. The fiery impulsivity of Aries is now quenched, slowed, and replaced by the desire to be on solid ground. It is going to take some time to adjust so give yourself and others some space today. Take things as they come, don't project too far into the future, and above all, slow down.

Thursday, April 19, 2012

Today's energy finds us concerned over how and where we feel safe. We take notice of the reality that we live in "the matrix" most of the time and we recognize the limitations therein. We question where and how we fit in or how to move toward something that is better for us. The energy is unsettling, so we need to find some serenity and comfort in things that enrich our lives - friends, family, animals, nature, children, and people of like-mind. Some will respond to this energy by exhibiting narrow-minded attitudes and feeling stuck (no place to go), but the proper way to handle today is to find contentment and allow things to be just as they are today - even if they are quite uncomfortable or are making you unhappy. Leave those things to the side and ask the Universe to take care of them. Switch your focus away from what is distrurbing or distressing you and onto whatever enriches you. Paddle away like the swans in today's picture. (Note: You'll see I have added the twitter icon to the bottom of this page. I've created an account and will use it to communicate if anything important comes up in between daiily posts - like solar flares or other events. I will also use it as a back-up when my site has technical difficulties. So, if you are inclined, follow me on twitter @oraclereport or click below to go there.)

The energy lightens today, after the extreme intensity yesterday. It is a day to attune to your inner voice and a time to accord with your own path. We will gain wisdom and insight because Spirit is whispering it in our ears (the position of the Sun is known as "the music of the spheres"). To hear this, try not to take things too seriously. Lighten up and find the humor in situations. Reject the tendency toward needing acceptance and validation from others (today's energy is about expressing your own unique individuality - not conforming to other people's ideas). Facilitate the process by listening to your favorite music (messages are being sent from higher realms via what we hear, particularly on the waveforms of music). This energy is all about communication and getting on track with what is best for us. Are you getting the message?

Tuesday, April 17, 2012

Spiritual warriors engage! Today's report is very important and our inner wise, old owl that we have been working so hard to cultivate will need to come out and soar HIGH above today's energy. The energy in and of itself is intense today, but we have the added extreme plasmic effects of "magnetic fields on the Sun erupting around 17:45 UT on April 16, producing one of the most spectacular explosions in years" (NASA). Extreme ultra-violet wavelengths are hitting us today. This is going to challenge us. There are two things going on. First, the tendency is to feel like we have failed in some way, that we have let others down, or have let ourselves down. People will be left feeling frustrated ,defeated, and emotionally wiped-out. Illusions will be shattered. Second, this is going to cause people to come undone, act out, and blame others. I have chosen an owl in flight for a visual cue as to how to handle today's energy. We aren't going to be able to retreat into our tree, grounding ourselves and taking ourselves out of the swirl. We will have to fly above situations. We will need to take the "highest road." We can stop and rest in trees as we go along, but we won't be able to stay there. We have to keep moving because the energy is fast on our heels (talons?). If you are a new reader, this may not make much sense (or sound totally insane), but readers who've followed since the winter are familiar with this shamanic skill of "mentally morphing" into the wise old owl in order to navigate the rapidly changing energy of the times. We are changing and correcting (ascending, returning home) along with the planet and this requires skill. But feeling like we've failed or that we are defeated is the illusion that we must overcome today. IT IS NOT TRUE! The energy is trying to make us see what we need to fix and where we deserve better. This does not need to come with emotional outbursts, but since most people are unaware of what is really going on, they will unconsciously react. We aren't going to do that today. We are the wise owls who are flying at a slow, graceful speed, watching everything that is happening with penetrating ferocity. If this means you have to defend yourself from predators, so be it, but don't emotionally engage the situation. BE SMART. And if the predator happens to be your own psyche beating you up, BE SMARTER, and rise above that. It's a trick and we aren't falling for it. We are better than this and we will get out of our own way today because we are involved in a much higher purpose - one that is much bigger than ourselves.

Monday, April 16, 2012

On Friday I talked about opportunities "blowing" in from Spirit. This theme continues today, with the added element of re-vitalizing something that seemed lost. What seems lost? Is it something about you - your confidence, strength, decisiveness, judgment, access to your grander self and your potential, sense of adventure, hope, or your sense of self? Today brings us the energy to recapture this or capture it for the first time if we have never had it. It takes things to new levels. What a gift! To fully take advantage of it, we need to pioneer forward (pioneer across the prairie in this picture), leave our fear behind, and resist any feelings of self-pity or woundedness. All we really need to do today is imagine what it would look and feel like to regain this part of ourselves. What would life be like? Journey into unknown territory in your mind and external reality will follow. Take a chance on yourself. Challenge yourself to break away from old, familiar, and stale attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors. The Universe is in full support.

Saturday, April 14 - Sunday, April 15, 2012

The keyword for this weekend is "temper." Some situations will be prickly, so we will need to temper our reactions and responses. This is a result of Mars stationing direct and the Sun opposing Saturn. We are kind of all over the place emotionally this weekend, vacillating between what our hearts tell us and what our minds tell us. In most cases, our minds will need to direct the proper course of action. In other words, use your head. An underlying theme involves promises or understandings that were made in the past now coming into question or review. Something that seemed simple in the past now seems more complicated. This is because things are evolving to a new level, bringing a change of the status quo. In the process, we may question the sincerity of others that are involved. We may need to rely on ourselves to bring forward a level of strength we did not know we possessed. One thing that Mars did to us while it was retrograde was make us stronger. We will need to begin tapping into this now. So...recognize that you are stronger than you know. Temper your emotions with mental clarity. Fulfill your obligations but add some fun. And regain a sense of equilibrium by strengthening your connection and groundedness with nature.

Friday, April 13, 2012

According to which source you look at, Mars will station direct (appear to move forward in the sky once again) sometime between midnight tonight and midnight tomorrow. So let's just go with today as the last day that Mars is retrograde, remembering that the day a planet stations retrograde or direct packs a powerful punch. Today, the Planet of War and Aggression impulses us toward premature action. We will need to compose ourselves, strategize, and determine the goal before we rush forward with anything. The tendency or negative expression is to be competitive, over-confident, and far too ambitious. But we want to be fully prepared and thoughtful before engaging into action. We need a sure mark before we take aim so that we are sure to hit the target.

The position (degree in the sky) of the Sun today will "blow" possibilities in from the realm of Spirit. These developments will eventually lead to an abundance that will be self-sustaining. By all means, take advantage of any out-of-the-ordinary opportunities if one comes your way (just don't rush in too soon - follow the advice above). A large sunspot (pictured here, taken by Dennis P in the Netherlands and uploaded to spaceweather.com) is directly facing Earth and it is growing. If it releases a flare, it will dramatically enhance the energetic, spiritual effect and instead of "blowing" direct spiritual intervention to us, it will spiritually "inundate" us. The outside effects of it may be hard to take (because it often causes major "corrections") but rest assured that it is Divinely directed. Here's the thing to remember in all of this: we really do have it all. We are just in the process of recognizing it.

Thursday, April 12, 2012

Today's energy relates to releasing ourselves from things that have been a burden (an albatross). This includes thoughts and emotions that have been locked up. Also, if you have been going to a great deal of effort to conceal something, the secret will not necessarily come out, but it will become apparent to others that something is burdening you and is affecting your behavior. If you are experiencing this, it is time to share - share your feelings or share the load. The keyword for the day is privacy but this does not mean isolation - they are two different things. Venus and the South Node are conjunct, meaning relationships from the past come back into the present, bringing the opportunity to resolve anything that was unresolved. This does not necessarily mean that people from our past return today, but the same issues return. This may be related to the need to stand up for yourself or needing to be treated the way you deserve. Some will respond negatively to this energy, becoming obsessed only with what they want and refusing to compromise.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Complex energy continues as we anxiously await Mars' direct motion on Sunday. Relief is on the way - we just need to hold on until then. Today's energy requires us to unlock a gate of some sort and walk through. This could mean several different things: the need to make a commitment, the need to follow through, the need to state an intention, the need to diversify, the need to go in a new direction, the need to go your separate way, the need to acknowledge your gifts and blessings, the need to accept happiness, the need to apply your full spectrum of talents, or the need to let go. Maybe you need to do all of these things? Under this energy, it is quite possibly the case. Each of us is at some sort of threshold and we have to cross it. A leap of faith may be in order. This is the best I can do with the explanation of today's energy. If things become more than you can handle, go outside and re-connect with the natural world. Give your inner chaos over to the forces of Mother Nature and she will take it. Remember: relief is on the way - we just need to hold on until then.

Tuesday, April 10, 2012

We have exceptionally complex energy today. The lion is pictured above because the main thing to remember today is to protect yourself. This means we may need to assert ourselves or defend ourselves and our space (personal, professional, etc.). People are going to try to dominate today. The Sun is conjunct Eris at the degree where Eris was first sighted. In Greek mythology, Eris was the goddess who threw the Apple of Discord at Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite, eventually leading to the Trojan War. Eris challenged them to see the superficiality of their value of personal beauty by asking who was the fairest of all. Discordant energies conflict and can erupt into war and power games (led mostly by women). The pressure of war-like Mars' impending direct motion adds to this. People who are unhappy with themselves will be most provacative. Usually I write that we need to be like the owl and approach the day from the perspective of inside the tree. Today is not a day we can retreat. If someone tries to push you around, you will need to invoke your inner lion or lioness and protect yourself. Dark forces will be on the attack. Remain in your graceful integrity, maintain your center of personal harmony, and recognize your right to freedom in all ways. The lion naturally responds to protect its territory and doesn't question the legitimacy of that instinct. Follow accordingly.

Monday, April 9, 2012

Today someone will be in need of help - someone who is the cause of their own problems. This person is stubbornly resisting moving on or changing their habits even though it is hurting them. Is this person you? The question each of needs to ask ourselves is where are we feeding our energy? We must analyze if we are feeding energy to situations that are cold, hopeless, lost, and lifeless. A small effort to change detrimental habits, beliefs, feelings, and mindsets will go a long way. A main theme for this may be trying to win the approval of others (which will only create reliance and dependence). We will have several major astrological transits this week - the big ones being Pluto stationing retrograde tomorrow and Mars finally stationing direct on April 15. All of the planets will be active. A coronal mass ejection will hit us today and kick things off. Prepare yourself mentally and physically for the upcoming week. Plan so that you have time to decompress. The energy is going to "pound" on us - it is highly concentrated - so we need to be firmly rooted in the Earth in order to not be knocked out of place. Slow your pace and take your time as much as possible. The energy is going to move quickly, but there is no need for us to move at that speed.

Thursday, April 5, 2012

Today's picture is a new, spring leaf because the energy brings opportunities to open up other possibilities. In other words, things that transpire today will lead to or develop into something in the future. You might want to take note of what transpires for you today and compare it later in the year (October). Today is about change and growth, keeping ourselves open and flexible to other people, and clearing obstacles. Currently there is a process underway that is changing us at a cellular level. This change is helping us become insulated - protected - from the massive bombardment of stellar influences that are participating in the breakdown of old structures and systems. To fully maximize this process, stay as open and receptive as possible to whatever develops for you today.

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

So, did you see peoples' true colors yesterday? If you survived the energy relatively intact, today is the day to rest your psyche and and your emotional body. We will need time to process all that transpired. Our physical bodies are quite drained so don't push yourself too hard. Cut corners and put off whatever you can. The Sabian symbol (ancient wisdom) for the degree of the Sun today is "fairies and nature spirits dancing in the setting Sun." This energy brings our intuition to greater heights, which will help us catch up and gain clarity about all that happened while Mercury was retrograde (March 13, 2012 until yesterday). Take a respite today and if the sunset is visible to you this evening, try to catch it. The Sun disseminates wisdom all the time, but sometimes we can receive more of it - tonight's sunset is one of those times. This energy is exceptionally "spiritual" - meaning the veil between our world and other worlds is thin. But take heed: this type of energy makes people who are unstable (not grounded in Mother Earth) go mad. People who are rooted in the illusion of the material world (the matrix) cannot gain equilibrium and are acting out. They cannot handle the more refined, spiritual energies that are concentrated right now. There fears are overtaking them. Steer clear of these people as much as possible.

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

Mercury will station direct overnight tonight, but communications will become progressively difficult as today goes on. Electronic devices such as computers and cell phones may also act up. Mercury stationing direct will help the energy lighten up a little tomorrow, but we are still under the heavy effects of Mars retrograde until April 15. When Mars moves direct, we are going to feel much better. Today, how we behave and present ourselves is extremely important. If things are breaking down around you, it is even more important to maintain a sense of grace and even pride (the peacock). Of course we are not interested in ego here, so don't misinterpret the peacock to think it is ok to strut or parade. The peacock is what it is and makes no apologies. Its vibrant beauty comes from the imagination of our Creator, not from its own devices. It has no need to demonstrate its beauty because it is visible to everyone. All of this means to just be your beautiful self. Don't allow anyone to take advantage of you or take you down a path that isn't yours. Don't hide, but don't show anyone up either. Stand in your center, maintain your grace, and walk through the day in your complete knowledge of the truth that you are an expression of the Creator with your own unique talents and gifts (that are very much needed in service of the missionl to raise the level of consciousness of the human collective).

Monday. April 2, 2012

All of the themes involved in today's energy center around "two's." We will need to cooperate with another to accomplish or solve things. Isolating or cutting off from others or trying to do things ourselves will not work well. There is a lesson that we will learn today about how we interact with others. Do we give in? Has temptation won out? Does ego get in the way? Is someone luring us? Are we willing to compromise? Would we rather be alone? Who is willing to help? Who only hurts? Can we reach out for help? Who is not around? Take a close look at the way people respond today. There is wisdom for us. Today's energy is relatively slow, enabling us to see things more clearly and giving us time to process.

Monday, March 26, 2012

Today's energy requires us to shift our focus from one thing to another rather rapidly. This could cause us to easily become scattered. The progression of the day's events may make us feel divided in some way. It is impossible to be all things to all people, so don't fall into this today because it will fail. There is also an element to today that is pre-occupied with wanting more than one's share of money or recognition or reward (which is rooted in selfishness, jealousy, and materialism). The best approach to the day is to remain humble, admiring the achievements of others, and recognizing the talents of others. Take your focus off of yourself and the day will flow much more smoothly. As always, if you find yourself getting off track, re-connect with the planet (the Source of our sanity) and her expression of beauty (which is all around us).

Saturday, March 24 - Sunday, March 25, 2012

Lightning is pictured here because the Sun is making its annual conjunction with Uranus this weekend and Uranus makes us feel electrified. This can be a good thing or a bad thing because it produces a lot of energy to accomplish things, but it can also produce a lot of anxiety and an overall "jangly" or restless feeling. If you aren't sleeping well, it's Uranus. We want to "ground" the current as much as possible by picturing ourselves firmly rooted in the Earth (like a tree). Accompanying this energy is the feeling of being boxed in. Uranus rules the idea of freedom, so there is conflict present already. If you are facing conflict this weekend, remember that we are in the New Moon Phase of the New Year, which is setting up the upcoming year and making an imprint. We are nowhere near the outcome of events, so don't try to come to conclusion. Just follow along and watch. Above all, Uranus rules the unexpected. Now that you know this, you can look at things from a different perspective.

Friday, March 23, 2012

Today's energy is best described as wispy clouds racing across the sky. New things are "in the wind." We are driven forward, almost out of our own control, and the risk is either blowing past things too quickly or becoming tired from trying to resist We will need to allow ourselves to follow where the day takes us, and come back later to sort it all out. This is happening to set things in place for the upcoming year, but it will be hard to handle it all right now, so don't try to. Opportunities will be fleeting, so don't hesitate to take advantage of something that crosses your path, even if it is out of your comfort zone. Trust me on this. Things will happen extremely fast and there is no way to prevent this, so we just need to go with it. Resistance is futile, so don't waste time fretting over how fast things are moving. Lighten up (like a cloud) as much as possible and things will go much better.

Thursday, March 22, 2012

Happy New Year! The degrees of the Sun, Earth, and Venus tell us that this is going to be a wonderful year. The Sabian symbol for the degree of the Sun is "a cameo profile of a man in the outline of this country" and discusses how we will make our mark - an imprint - this year. The symbol for the degree of the Earth is "the dawn of a new day reveals everything changed" and discusses new beginnings, darkness abating, and letting go of what went before. The symbol for the position of Venus is "a new continent rising out of the ocean" and discusses an enormous potentiality emerging. Pretty nice, huh? This particular blend of energy is going to strengthen us at our very core. Today all of this begins so it is time to face forward and open up to new ways because this is potent energy that will bowl over anything that is not open to new ways of doing things. Being stubborn is not going to work out well today. I often talk about waves of energy, but the first day of the new year is always the strongest energetic wave of the year and in order to receive the maximum benefits, we need to allow space inside ourselves for it to enter and settle. Since the New Moon is conjunct Uranus, we can expect massive changes that happen very quickly this year- even more quickly than last year. The Earth will change. We will change. But all signs point toward the positive and we know that all we need to do to navigate the daily energies is ground ourselves firmly in Mother Earth and conjoin her journey as she hurtles through space. The thing to ponder is how do I want to make my mark this year?

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

It is a fiery day indeed. Emotions will be running hot and spreading rapidly throughout the collective. People will react to the energy by acting out of control in many ways. Things have the potential to get out of hand very quickly. However, with fire comes light and today's events ultimately lead to insight, awareness, wisdom, and higher purposes, if only through true colors becoming visible. This energy will transmute situations into something else - something new - in preparation for the New Moon and New Year tomorrow. To facilitate the process, visualize whatever isn't working in your life burning up or melting away. Emotional, mental, and physical detritis and debris can be purged in a great fire of the imagination. Keep your own inner wildfire contained and the effects will be markedly enhanced. (WIth the Sun and Mercury retrograde making a conjunction close to Uranus in the early degrees of the fire sign Aries, the possibility of accidents and/or extreme frustration resulting from things that are malfunctioning or outworn is high. If you begin to experience this, invoke the skill we practiced this winter by stepping out of the energy and becoming the wise old owl in the tree. Shroud yourself from the outer swirl.)

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

On this first day of Spring, the Sun moves into Aries and brings new energy to move forward. Aries rushes headfirst, so we need to counter this by thinking things through before we take action. The position of Venus adds an element of conflict to the day's blend. This energy is called "might versus light." Forces are in contrast, with old structures, beliefs, and mindsets struggling mightily to hang on, and new structures, beliefs, and mindsets trying to burst out. If you are having difficulties today, look to see if there is something you don't want to let go of. Is this providing some sense of security? The Universe wants us to grow and that means growing pains. If you find yourself in a situation where someone is trying to dominate, stand firm but take the high road. This situation will resolve itself during the next lunar month. Old paradigms and hierarchies based on control and secrecy are coming down and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it.

Monday, March 19, 2012

On the last day of Pisces, we feel the approach of an energetic shift. Balsamic Moon Phase is the "in-between" phase, not part of the last lunar month, but also not exactly part of the next of the lunar month. It is the time when the veil between the worlds is thinnest and our connection to higher spiritual forces is greatest. Pisces and Balsamic phases are both ruled by Neptune, the dreamy, spiritual planet. Over the next three days, we will transition from the last astrological year into the new astrological year. It is a time for mental and spiritual preparation for "the new" to enter. We were "spiritually primed" or "upgraded" last week to be able to take on a deeper role in our journey. Our connection with the planet can now be deeper and our co-creation of the dream of life is wider. This translates into increased psychic awareness and a stronger energetic "shield" to protect us from the harsher effects of people who are losing their minds in the midst of the chaos. We know that we remain sane through our grounding with the Earth.

Today is the last day we have of the soft Piscean energy because tomorrow we lurch into the headstrong forces of Aries. You can swim through the day, taking in the beauty that is all around you (like the fishes in this picture) and/or you can gently sway with the currents (like the corals in this picture). The idea here is to slow down and flow. People will be in their own worlds more than normal today, so don't get frustrated if you feel like you aren't being heard. It will be harder to get people's attention. Just roam around in your own little world. Don't worry about it if you need to accomplish something because things will pick up tomorrow. But higher forces are listening, so tune into that slower frequency and be a part of something much greater and much grander than yourself. Remember who you really are.

Saturday, March 17 - Sunday, March 18, 2012

Of the two days this weekend, Saturday's energy flows much more smoothly, so we want to take advantage of it and enjoy! Sunday is when things become more complex. The key to managing Sunday's events is breaking things down into smaller pieces or components. We want to look at things as if they are on a spectrum and not become locked into a rigid set of rules or parameters. Mercury, which is retrograde, and Uranus will make a conjunction (in Aries) so be extra-cautious with electrical devices and flames and also while driving. Electronics will be prone to give us trouble also. When Mercury and Uranus make a conjunction we often receive unexpected information and messages. If you experience this, it is an important set-up for the year to come. It will set a tone and unfold progressively. Remember that we are in the last days of the waning year, so we want to leave behind anything that we don't want to carry forward (like a mindset or fear).

Friday, March 16. 2012

Today the prevailing feeling is one of lack. We are drawn toward thinking about all the things we feel we don't have enough of - the things we lack in abundance. Most likely these are material things or other things that bring us a sense of security. This is a by-product of the astrological effects that have been so strong this week and the intensity of the feeling will weaken by tomorrow. For today, if this is something that is causing you distress, remember that true abundance comes only from the abundance of Spirit. In the end, all other things are meaningless. Re-focus your attention on the abundance of the natural world around you and it will lighten your mood. This is grumpy energy that causes jealousy and strife and we don't need to carry this around with us today.

Thursday, March 15, 2012

The next four days are the last days of the astrological year (the New Moon on March 22, the New Moon in Aries, is the new year that is aligned with nature). It is a good time to tie up, complete, or bring closure to things that we don't want to carry with us into the new year. Part of this process is reflecting back to all the things that have transpired since April 2011 - the beginning of this past year - and honor the changes that have taken place. It was a momentous year. At the same time, we can envision our dreams for the new year. Higher forces see and hear our dreams and wishes because we are co-creators with them.

The keyword for today is time. It is important to slow down and take yourself out of the matrix. We need to give our bodies and minds some time to rest. Beginning at 5:30 pm EDT, the Moon, Pluto, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and the Black Moon will go into a powerful triangulation in Earth signs. This increases the potential for even more geomagnetic effects. This will also cause us to feel our emotions very, very deeply. It will also strengthen our connection with Mother Earth, reinforcing the upgrade that took place yesterday. The Sun is not missing out on this grand play, as coronal mass ejection energy remains in effect. All of this is a wonderful thing that is going to "lock" or "ground" things into place, but people are responding to it in different ways (some people aren't handling it very well and are acting out - projecting anger and aggression, digging in their heels and making digs). Today, remember the keyword and give yourself time to rest so that you can fully benefit from the energy.

Wednesday, March 14, 2012

After a week of being unable to access the web builder (Mercury retrograde!), the Oracle Report returns just in time for today's conjunction of Jupiter, Venus, and the Black Moon - a rare occurrence. (I suppose I need to investigate Twitter in order to communicate when these sorts of problems happen.) This photo of the conjunction was taken in taken Dayton, Ohio. We also have solar flare energy enhancing the effects of the conjunction. This event is happening in the sky at 10 degrees of Taurus, which is known for healing and crossing into the dark side in order to bring light. It is the energy of The Nightingales. This is quite fitting for a conjunction of the two sisters, the dark goddess Black Moon and the shining goddess Venus. Jupiter joins to expand their power to the maximum extent possible. I first discussed this wave of energy over a week ago and the healing effects have been building in intensity, reaching their strongest effect today. But when we think of healing, we think of soft, gentle energy that slowly progresses. This isn't how this energy works. It's abrupt, jarring, and deeply penetrating. It brings up long-held traumas to the surface in order to be purged. Healing is taking place by pulling things out of us. Higher forces are transmuting those feelings, drastically changing us in the process. We've had no choice but to surrender to what is happening to us this month. In many ways, we have had to look at the ugliness of humanity. It has been very challenging for our psyches and for our physical bodies. Venus and the Black Moon don't like ugliness in people. They believe that the only sane option is to become more beautiful. As I said before, we are receiving an "upgrade" that will enable us to experience life in a deeper, saner way through re-connection with the planet. All we need to do today is to attach to our inner beauty and radiate that outward into the collective, and in doing so, intending to become more beautiful. If you are struggling, ask for assistance from The Nightingales. Give them whatever you need to purge from your life. They will glady take it.

Thank you to everyone who has written in with their kind thoughts and BEAUTIFUL energy. It is a wonderful circuit of sharing.

Wednesday, March 7, 2012

Today's story is all about the Sun. The Sun unleashed an X-5 solar flare yesterday and the coronal mass ejection and will reach Earth tomorrow. The close alignment of Earth and Mars and tomorrow's Full Moon (when the Sun and Moon are in opposition) will bring higher potential for geomagnetic effects. This energy is already reaching us, however, amping up our emotions and the body of the Earth and will also send us back toward the aggressive Mars energy that we've been trying to work out of. This will play out with people overstating their cases, saying things that are bizarre or wildly inappropriate, uncommon or even strange behavior and reactions, crying fits and extreme reactions, impulsivity that leads to accidents, having to repeat or re-do things, and such. Solar flare energy trumps everything, but you'll remember that yesterday I discussed how a new wave of energy is also entering, reaching a peak on March 14 (with a conjunction of Venus, Jupiter, and the Black Moon). Although this wave of energy is not yet strong, it is an undercurrent that is building and we can attach or attune to it to "buffer" us from this massive solar plasmic event that is re-activating the Mars influences. To do this today, we need to jump ahead and focus on the Venus aspect of the undercurrent. Venus is at the degree known as "steps leading to a lawn blooming with clover" which involves hopefulness, inspirational possibilities, enlarging our vision, and harmony. Counter any aggressive feelings with a blanket of soft emotions. Remember that we're practicing using our skills of imagination to keep us on firm ground this month, so visualize yourself as if you've morphed into a field of clover. "Be the field of clover" as it were. Lately, I'm stretching the bounds of what people may find practical, but you would not be reading this report if you weren't operating outisde of the matrix, so take from this what you will and drop me a line on the Contact form if you have some success with it. I am not able to respond to everyone (although I very much wish I could) but I read all of my mails and would love to hear from you.

Tuesday, March 6, 2012

Today we have conflicting energies in the air. Reverberations from the alignment of Earth and Mars, in opposition to the Sun, continue, producing the volcanic, cathartic effects that have been prevalent for a couple of weeks. This is serving to correct the course of our lives, but it is difficult energy that is causing increased anxiety, impulsivity, and anger. But a new wave of energy is also entering - one designed to bring a refreshing rebirth and a new perspective that will culminate on March 14th with a massive planetary alignment. We can now re-engage and take action, whereas lately we have had to surrender to the the flow of the Universe. The resistance will lessen as we approach March 14th, when we will receive a massive "upgrade" to our energetic bodies. So we want to consciously connect with this newer wave today and allow the Mars energy to wane. How to do this? Well, as usual, we do this by concentrating our focus on the natural world around us, acknowledging our symbiotic relationship as part of it. But here's another way. Strange as it sounds, take notice of things that are yellow - particularly elements of nature that are yellow, like the yellow flower in this picture. This will automatically attune you to this refreshing wave of energy via your optic nerve. Take notice of the world as you go about your day. Set the intention to find yellow and each time your attention is directed toward it, remember that your connection with the Earth is strengthened. As I've said many times, our conscious connection and grounding with the Earth is the only way to maintain sanity as we go through the next couple of years of chaos. Finding yellow today sounds crazy, but it is actually quite a lucid endeavor.

The alignment of Earth and Mars reaches a climax, making it imperative that we practice the art of surrender and take the plunge today. Don't push forward because the energies need to take their course. The way you'll know that you are not surrendering is when you become frustrated or when you have to do things over again. Of all of the days this year, today is the day to let the waves take you where they will (hence the waterfall picture). In addition to this, the Sun is erupting plasma into our electric universe, which plays on the electromagnetic fields of the body of the Earth and our bodies. It causes events and situations to transpire in our lives. View all of this as a massive correction that is happening to make our lives better. Slow down and use your energy to keep your cool and contain yourself, especially with others. You may find yourself becoming annoyed with people, impatient (especially while traveling), and overwhelmed by responsibilities. (This energy is effecting Virgos and Pisces the strongest. They are experiencing the most challenge, but will reap the most reward when Mars stations direct in April.)

Saturday, March 3 - Sunday, March 4, 2012

I mentioned in yesterday's report that Mars, which is retrograde, is conjunct the position of the Earth and opposite the position of the Sun. When planets align in conjunction or opposition, the energies cause effects on us. In addition, when a planet is retrograde, we re-work situations. This recipe makes for a weekend with strong potential for havoc and frustration. If you are trying to move forward with something, understand that the energies are naturally creating resistance. Don't stop moving forward, but understand that your efforts will require an extraordinary amount of patience, persistance, and resilience - especially if you are forced to cooperate or work with others (and even more so if you aren't resonating with these people). Don't push things. Step back into the stance of the wise old owl and contain your own emotions and reactions. This weekend has all the components for all sorts of breakdowns and meltdowns, but it is providing a rare, crystal clear glimpse of the reality (truth) of situations. It will be helpful to have some time alone in order to slow down and process all of the stimuli. Silence is golden this weekend because we are prone to saying things before we think. If you missed yesterday's post, you will probably want to go into the Archives and read it to round out your understanding of the energy we are under.

Friday, March 2, 2012

Today we have the choice to fight or to reason. In fact, over the next three days, people will be easily carried away by the energy. Mars retrograde will align with the position of the Earth and oppose the Sun. Mercury entered Aries, the sign of The Warrior, today, and will make a conjunction with Uranus this weekend, bringing unexpected information, surprises and dramatic changes. There is an underlying theme where our idea or sense of "home" is changing. Where do you belong? What is most comfortable for you? In all truth, we are "home" wherever we are because the Earth is our home. We just resonate differently at different locations. But back to the notion of choosing to fight or to reason today. Either response may be appropriate; we just have to analyze the situation and see what is called for. Note that we are to "analyze" first - choose - not merely react. If you choose to fight, make sure the cause is just. If you choose to reason, make sure your words carry power and come from the heart. Mars is impulsive, so it will take some skill to slow down and consider things before we choose. Keep in mind that this energy will be in effect throughout the weekend.

Wednesday, February 29 - Thursday, March 1, 2012

Wednesday's energy brings out the pioneer in each of us. Where do events lead you today? Are you ready for an upgrade? The planets are squaring up to make an imprint on our destiny - "stamping" new energy - so follow along closely. Be open to new possibilities and don't be overly concerned about letting other people down. In order for this energy to properly work, it requires each of us to consider what is best for ourselves.

Thursday's energy contains an element of judgment. We will be judging situations and we may feel like others are judging us. If we are repeating a pattern that is outworn, some may be inclined to say "I told you so." The truth is, a test or initiation is happening. We need to look at things a different way. The world is changing dramatically every day, so we cannot judge things and ourselves the same way or by the same standards. But the bottom line is judgment serves a higher purpose only on rare occasions - when we use it to make decisions and self-correct. It is all too easy to take it too far, which makes for a miserable time. If you feel yourself spiraling into a loop of harsh self-judgment, stop and ground yourself back into the natural world around you. Notice the changes in nature that are happening as the season prepares to change. We can make personal changes without dragging ourselves through the ringer of self-criticism.

Tuesday, February 28, 2012

The keyword for today's energy is cloudy. It tells us that we need to transcend difficulties by sailing over them (like an aviator flying above the clouds) and that we will see things from two perspectives (which will cloud our understanding). By knowing that clarity will be hard to come by, we can avoid becoming frustrated by an inability to accomplish, complete, or properly analyse things. There is no point in trying to figure out or decide something because it isn't really possible to gain a clear picture under this energy. Our approach to people and situations needs to be delicate and airy - like a cloud. Admittedly this is a very airy-fairy post, and while I lean toward seeing the evanescent magic in the world around us, I do try to keep the direction grounded. But this just isn't in the energy today. A coronal mass ejection is expected to blow away part of Mars' atmosphere today, and this will enhance complications caused by trying to make things too concrete or structured. Remember that we are now in the process of having to practice our skills of surrendering to the course of Universe to some degree. This is surely in play today. Observe what is happening from high in the clouds and save practical action and decisions for another day.

Monday, February 27, 2012

This photograph was taken yesterday in New York of Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon. If you haven't seen this in your sky yet, it is phenomenally stunning, and not to be missed. Today's energy gallops forward, almost like a race is on. It will prompt people to be super-competitive. Make sure you don't burn yourself out too fast; save some for reserve. There is a generalized concern and possibly fear of leaving or losing our sense of security. We are trying to release the difficulties of our past, but we are familiar with them, and have grown accustomed to the way they feel. But we cannot grow as spiritual beings if we remain cocooned in what is familiar. We must move forward and allow space and opportunity for our true selves to be revealed in the world. You are a gift to the collective of humanity because you have awakened to the mass illusion, which in turn enables your fellow man to awaken. Don't hide your light under a bushel today. It is much needed in the world.

Friday, February 24, 2012

The intensity and severity of events and circumstances that have transpired during this New Moon phase (since Tuesday) have surpassed my expectations. You will recall that I discussed how we would be honing our skill of surrendering to the flow of the Universe. There is a lot taking place to move things in different directions. This is happening at such a high level that there is really no way we can reach out to it and influence it. It is far beyond us. (A prime factor for this is Neptune's re-entry into Pisces [spirituality] and conjunction with the New Moon on Tuesday.) All of this is still in play today, with the addition of energy that involves feelings of duty, the skill of discipline, and dedication to one's values and principles. We will keenly and sharply feel it if we are falling down or failing in one of these areas. We may feel like we are just going around and around, repeating the same cycle. There is potential for great suffering. Amidst all of this, I am reminded of wisdom that my teacher gave me many years ago: we are saved by our rejections. Don't judge the outcome of anything right now. Surrender to the course of events. Strive to do better if today you find out that you really do know better.

Thursday, February 23, 2012

We have two main energetic themes developing today. First, we must find time to rest. Take several short time-outs if you don't have time to for a longer break. Our mental, physical, and emotional bodies are taking big hits. There is a need to "escape from reality" because "reality" is changing rapidly and we need time to adjust. Second, Mars has retrograded back to the position in the sky known as the point of "volcanic eruption." The wisdom of the ancients tells us that cathartic release transpires under this influence. If you have been holding something inside, it may come to the surface in a particularly dramatic way today. Resistance is low, so things are forcing their way out into the open. This could take any type of form - like the release of ideas, not just the release of feelings (like anger). If soomething starts to blow, we just need to let it blow because resisting it will cause an enormous build up of pressure. The thing to look at is what the blow up is really about. There may be a misdirection - meaning it is really about something else. Pisces and Virgos will be especially prone to the energy today, so take care.

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

The last couple of days have been rather challenging, calling on us to practice the skill of moving fluidly with the flow of events. This continues today, but there are a few things to be aware of that may help. The energy is like being in heavy traffic. Patience is required, and so is give and take. There is a lot happening today and a lot of mental confusion going along with it. This can produce feelings of being boxed in and, in turn, feelings of anxiety and possibly panic. We are trying to get from one mental, emotional, or physical place to another mental, emotional, or physical place and it is hard because there is a lot of mental, emotional, and physical "congestion." So this is the nature of the challenge today. The solution is to figure out that we are not driving. We are in the vehicle but not at the wheel. If we try to "drive" situations today, we will not make progress. We must surrender and let things take their course. It isn't going to be this way every day of this new lunar month, but it will be like this many of the days. All of this will take its toll primarily on our minds and you'll know it if you develop a headache. Don't try too hard to control what is happening. Let go and trust that the elements of the situation will work themselves out. Just be in the passenger seat. It will help a lot if you watch the scenery as you move along. Remember that we return to sanity when we return to the natural world and return to the wisdom that we are really hurtling through space on a grand Mother Ship. Notice the birds, the trees, the flowers that are popping up ready to bloom, or even just the sky above and then go along for the ride.

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

Today's report is short and to the point: the energy calls on us to be flexible, mobile, and fluid. It is day to practice our skills of imagination and ability to go with the flow of the Universe. We may feel that there are immovable or insurmountable obstacles in our way, but this isn't really the case. We just need to go around things instead of trying to move or change them. Don't get stuck on trying to make something that it isn't.

Monday, February 20, 2012

Remember that we are are now working on honing our skill of going with the flow of the Universe (see Saturday and Sunday's posts in the Archives for more information). To do this, today, we need to get out of our own way. Under this energy, the best sides of ourselves are able to come out if we come out. The dominant undercurrent of the energy tempts us into feeling insecure or threatened in some way or by something that happens, prompting us to want to hide away. But we are not here to hide our light and doing so will lead to missed opportunities today. Each of us is a child of Creation, unique unto ourselves, with our own talents, abilities, shortcomings, ideas, and ways of doing things. There is only one you - you are a custom design! There is no longer any room in life for suffering or sacrifice, so hold your head high today and come out of your comfort zone. Today is a day to bring forth and show the world our true selves. (Keep in mind that bullies flourish under this energy, but only when we give them more power than they deserve.)

Saturday, February 18 - Sunday, February 19, 2012

Let's get the mundane part of the report out of the way first. On Saturday, there is a thread of opportunity for emotional explosions (specifically tantrums). This has become so repetitive to write, but it isn't going to change any time soon - some days are just stronger than others with this. On Sunday, the tendency is to "split" in some way - to cut and run or bail out of things. There is also strong potential for greed and stinginess.

Now for the interesting part and the part that concerns most of us. Throughout this winter, we have been developing the skill of going inside ourselves and taking the perspective of the wise old owl in the tree. We have had a lot of practice with this. We've also been working on grounding ourselves firmly into the planet in order to weather the level of chaos. The Sun will enter Pisces this weekend, joining Neptune (ruler of Pisces), Mercury, Chiron, and the asteroids Athena and Vesta. Now we will begin adding a third skill to our repertoire as spiritual warriors endeavoring to maintain sanity and resonate light on the planet. While the Sun is in Pisces this year, we will learn what it means to go with the flow of the Universe like we never have known. Pisces is a water sign. Water mutates things, enabling them to change form. Like a river, the course of everyone's life will be altered while the Sun is in Pisces. This will require us to practice the arts of surrender and imagination. We will need to learn when to stop and when to keep moving, and we will learn how to ramp up the power of our imagination to maintain emotional balance amidst the breakdown of the world around us (the mass illusion). Pisces is the dreamy, creative, mysterious sign and it is highly spiritual. All of this will become more clear as the month progresses. For now, a New Moon is on its way in a few days, so this the time (Balsamic Moon phase) when we prepare ourselves for the coming month and give thought to how we would like that month to go. Give some thought to what your highest desire for yourself is because this is how we will be directing our course (in conscious co-creation with Higher Powers),

Friday, February 17, 2012

The keywords for today are emergence, transformation, and metamorphosis. In some way, something new is emerging from within us. This can be anything: a new way to look at something, a new plan, resolution of an issue that has plagued you, a long-forgotten talent, a change of heart, a leap of faith, etc. The energy is that of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. When a butterfly emerges from its cocoon, it turns into something that we would say is more beautiful. It goes from being all wrapped up inside of itself to unbounded freedom. So, today we have a wonderful opportunity to come out of something that no longer serves us, especially feelings of hopelessness, powerlessness, and sadness, which are rampant now. You can do this by embracing the unknown instead of fighting against it today. This is hard for many of us, but it is a skill that must be acquired in order to effectively ride the waves of chaos and breakdown that are underway. Some people will respond to today's energy in a negative, opposite way by being super-controlling or overbearing. If you see this happening in a dramatic way, you might want to take note. These people are going to have a tough time as major changes take place in the world over the next two years. Their fears are extremely high, making them quite volatile. So for today, surrender to the internal machinations of metamorphosis, wherever they may take you. (Many thanks to readers who wrote in commenting on the orange cat in yesterday's picture. He was very popular and elicited a surprising response! He is, in fact, one of my cats, Max, and he is quite a character. Yesterday was his web debut but he will be back, I am sure.)

Thursday, February 16, 2012

Some days are better for working things out on our own and some days favor cooperating with others. Today is a cooperation day. If you are trying to accomplish, solve, or express something, other people are needed. Group efforts will work best, but even the addition of one other person's perspective or input will help. However, this does not mean that everyone else will be correct or right. In fact, some people will not give credit where credit is due or will try to minimize an important factor (your efforts?). If this is the case, it serves to point something out to you. Are you giving someone else's opinion or feelings too much weight? Are you overburdened? Today's energy tries to get us to share our thoughts, feelings, and ideas, but where that takes us will be different for everyone. Mercury (messages, communication, information) is conjunct Chiron, which wounds but ultimately heals, so today's events hold the potential to learn a great lesson and gain valuable insight.

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

A crystal clear, pure energy infuses the day. If you feel like you've been operating in a kind of fog, the fog lifts today. Mental clarity and acuity brings things into sharp focus and we are able to see a bigger picture, possibly even a plan for the future. The strength of the energy creates new beginnings, so if this sounds like something you are interested in, all you need to do is let go of the past and align yourself with the open field of possibilities for something new. This will be easier to do if you concentrate on seeing the beauty of the natural world around you. I say this a lot lately, but the truth is that the real world exists alongside of the mass illusion, and the real world is the natural world. Our planet is the safe harbor in the midst of the chaos, breakdown, and insanity that is happening with the mass illusion. Of course, we exist in both worlds, but we must be vigilent to remember the truth that we are on a beautiful journey through space and time in the company of a Divine Being, the Earth. Find some refreshment in the gift of purity in today's energy and set your course accordingly.

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Ok, today we need to "check ourselves before we wreck ourselves." This means we need to stow our emotions if something induces a strong reaction. Venus and Pluto are making a square, setting off strong themes that range from obsession to depression. Valentine's Day is usually over-charged toward expectations, social judgments, and superficiality anyway. But, with Venus and Pluto in aspect and also Jupiter and the Black Moon continuing to dance along together, we have a very volatile mix. Don't get caught up in that if things start to go negative - it is a waste of energy. Pure, simple expressions of love and beauty are what is meaningful. Make all of your words heartfelt today, and if something comes up that triggers you to react, step back and check out the situation. Do you really want to put your energy into a reaction? It might be important, so the answer might be yes, but make sure it is worthy. Today's energy asks us to check the "road worthiness" of situations. What will last?

Monday, February 13, 2012

Today, whatever is out of balance becomes obvious, so if you have any difficulties today, look to see what needs to be remedied. Things will happen in "surges." We may feel "handicapped" or incapable of doing or solving something. But this is not the case. We just need to find a new way. It is now impossible to judge anything based on the parameters of the past. Flexibility, innovation, and the ability to respond are now the qualities that lead us to a happier way. The position of the Moon, Jupiter, and the Black Moon have us in a face to face lock with brutal truths. Our thoughts about life, love, and happiness are undergoing severe alterations. Stay grounded and close to your heart, and try to bring balance to whatever you discover is out of balance today.

Saturday, February 11 - Sunday, February 12, 2012

Saturday's energy can be defined as "manic." The lightning-like effects of the Venus-Uranus conjunction (see yesterday's post in the Archives) continue through Saturday: reactions and over-reactions, panic, extreme sensitivity, and even accidents. So things have the potential to go far out of bounds. Our emotions are undergoing purging. A catharsis is happening (for those following the mythos of the Shakti Cluster, this is courtesy the Mahavidya Matangi, as we are still in that lunar cycle). So Saturday is pretty wild. Sunday brings deep sobering and a new realization about what works, what doesn't work, and how we need to get things back in balance. As night arrives Sunday in North America, people will fall asleep with a close feeling of loss (knowingly or unknowingly). Europeans will awaken Monday morning to this. Consider re-framing your emotions to I gained much wisdom from this. Do not focus on the loss, focus on the wisdom gained. The future is not written. Conditions and circumstances are changing rapidly so don't assume that you know where it will lead. What seems to be a loss now may soon turn out to be a great gain. Avoid judging it. (Spaceweather enthusiasts should follow along closely this weekend. An active sunspot is turning toward Earth. Follow at www.spaceweather.com.)

Friday, February 10, 2012

About one time each year, the planets Venus and Uranus make a conjunction. This usually brings surprising encounters and fast changes within relationships. This particular conjunction will bring to the surface anyplace where people do not feel special or important in a relationship. Romantic relationships will not be the only expression; professional relationships, relationships with co-workers, and family relationships are also included. Anytime Uranus is involved there is potential for lightning. If you see a situation developing that has potential to explode, remember that the root cause of it is someone needing to feel involved, included, and loved. You don't have to "fix" the problem, but you can be aware of what is truly happening. The Moon will move into Libra this afternoon around 3:00 pm EST, making an opposition to the Venus-Uranus conjunction, adding a strong emotional element to the equation. So this theme may amplify tonight. There is much winnowing and sorting happening with relationships now and things are happening fast. Venus and Uranus in Aries would have us fight or fight what is happening, but this will not solve anything. We are tasked with asking "what is best for me?" and then following through.

Thursday, February 9, 2012

Today's energy has an intoxifying quality. Mental clarity is not highlighted, so understand that first attempts at anything will likely require a second attempt. Plan accordingly and don't become frustrated or impatient. Decision-making abilities are also not acute, Keep things as light as possible and just focus on one thing at a time. This is wonderful energy for creative projects! However, another quality is winding its way through today also. This quality brings disappointment and disillusionment, which is what our collective is experiencing as a whole. Many feel that the future and their personal lives are empty or lacking. But this is absolutely not the case. We are actually breaking through the illusions we all have about ourselves and our world - which is a good thing because life is much more fun and enjoyable when these false ideas we have about ourselves, our successes, our failures, etc.are pierced. So today you can go with the light-headedness quality of the energy or with the disappointment flavor of it. Most likely we will vacillate. But the best stance is grounded firmly in observer mode (wise old owl in the wise old tree), taking in what is happening and what we are feeling, therefore gaining wisdom..

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Here goes my second try for today. One would begin to think that someone does not want this message delivered, given that the IT people cannot find a problem with the site, yet after I write the report and try to publish it to the web, it disappears. So let's see what we can do here. Yesterday was a big day. Saturn stationed retrograde (appeared to turn backwards in the sky). Now, both Mars and Saturn, strong masculine energies, are retrograde. Masculine energy is coming unhinged during this retrograde cycle. This means that anyone who is expressing overly dominant, masculine energy that is out of balance is going to have a challenging time. Structures and systems based on patriarchal or power-centered patterns are going to "break down" to some degree or another. Masculine energies are trying to find a place for containment and if they aren't able to find this, they will act out aggressively or with confusion, anger, or depression. You may have noticed this yesterday, even without the report I was unable to post. People are losing their minds, and maybe you are losing it a little also. Everyone is, in some way. Basically, people are going to have to "get right" while Saturn is retrograde. But more importantly, what we are tasked with during this time is to re-connect with our "home base" - the Earth - and seek shelter and containment within the expression of nature. We forget that we are not only sustained by the Earth, but we are also protected by her. The Earth is hurtling through space at a vast rate (and changing course, it seems, based on the anomalous readings at the poles). We are accompanying her on her journey. Integrating the idea that we are walking around on and are at One with Mother Earth, a Divine Being, is the only way to maintain sanity now. We must "ground" ourselves tightly to the Earth so that we don't fly off into space, so to speak. If you have not discovered the mythos of Sophia, perhaps you will be inclined to do so now and begin your return to sanity - to return "home." We need to release (lose) our suffering to fall away and crumble in the wake of our journey through space and time because it no longer has a place in our lives. Message received?

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 - Saturn Stations Retrograde

Technical issues - no post today.

Monday, February 6, 2012

Today is building up to tomorrow's Full Moon and Saturn turning retrograde. The energy will unmask things and enable us to see them for what they really are. This is going to catch some people off guard because things will come to light that they had not expected. Be on the lookout for curve balls. In general today is one of those days where we come face to face with our selves (or our shadow side, for more information see my book on the Black Moon on the Books tab). If the tzolkin (Mayan Sacred Calendar) was still in effect, today would be an Edznab or "Mirror" day. Remember those? Edznab also means "Flint" so the energy "cuts" as well as reveals. We are all human and we all have limitations. The trick is to do better when you know better, so no matter what transpires today or no matter how you feel about yourself, be brave and take a good look. Then endeavor to do better.

Saturday, February 4 - Sunday, February 5, 2012

Every day we are blessed with beautiful energy if we can connect with it. It is easy to connect with if you spend time outdoors (because beauty is visible all around you). But this weekend, we are doubly blessed because the creative energy that is radiating from the planet presents opportunities for us to have more fun. We need to have more fun. This automatically happens when we release fear. There is so much fear being hyped and piped into the collective. Following that track will only constrain us and make us unhappy. We can be completely and totally knowledgeable of what is happening economically, geopolitically, and geologically and simultaneously not be afraid at all. How? Because we we are at one with and guarded our spiritual Source, however we may define it. We can stand in a place of power that enables us to on the one side observe all that is happening in the world around us, and on the other side be ready to respond in the present moment. This perspective eliminates fear from the equation. IT is the way of the wise old owl. That said, put it on the back burner and get back to the first part of this post - have more fun. Find more fun this weekend, no matter what the circumstances.

Friday, February 3, 2012

Today's energy is dualistic. Two sides of things will be present. Commitment versus non-commitment, the easy way versus the hard way, your way or someone else's way. You may find yourself feeling that you are in a no-win situation, but this is not true. The truth is a correction is taking place, blasting away anything that is not in proper alignment with our true selves. This definitely leads to push-pull situations and consternation today. But if we take the "struggle" out of the tug-of-war, things will come into their natural resonance. Let go of the struggle and allow things to fall into their own place today. It will be much easier than trying to direct the course.

Thursday, February 2, 2012

Today we want to cut through all of the excess and go straight to the heart of matters. The energy brings us single-minded focus and determination with whatever is on our minds. But today is not a day to get "stuck" on something (a belief, thought, idea, emotion, etc.) because we have to see the day through in order to be on the right track. This energy penetrates things very deeply, but we don't want to get mired down in our thinking. We need to keep things moving today. Move on from anything that stumps you or stops your progress and don't project an outcome prematurely. This report may not apply to you at first reading, but may make more sense at the end of the day.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Today is about gauging situations before we react or make a move. We will want to "read" the environment before taking any kind of stand or voicing an opinion. Venus in Pisces and Mars in Virgo are in opposition, which often brings issues within relationships to a head. This is watery, emotional energy that is trying to transform situations. Virgos and Pisces will feel this the most. Fear of change is at the heart of any problems today. Change is the nature of life, so fear of change is actually fear of life. And we have no need to fear life because we are sustained by vast currents of spiritual energy like the wave in this picture.

Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Today's energy shows us how the status, order, or level of things is not relevant. In reality, our place in the pecking order means little; in fact, it means less and less each day because structures and hierarchies no longer function like they used to. So if you are working within what is supposed to be a highly structured environment, you will see its flaws and breakdowns. There is no reason to be concerned, however. There is also no reason to try and salvage what is damaged because it will change tomorrow, the next day, and again the following day. Nothing is static right now. In general, the way to handle today's energy is to not get frustrated about what isn't working and not get down on ourselves if we think we should be at a higher level than where we are. Turn away from anything that makes you feel inadequate or not up to par because this is a trick to stunt your real progress as a human being. We do not all fit into one mode of living and being; trying to do so is akin to insanity. Life is much more fluid than that and allows for all levels of expression. Free yourself.

Monday, January 30, 2012

Thank you to everyone who sent in their stories of butterfly and white animal encounters. The snow goose was most active, with several people seeing them in very interesting contexts. According to Ted Andrews' Animal Speak, the snow goose represents heeding the call to spiritual quest. Special thanks to JH in Indiana for sending this beautiful photo taken yesterday. Today is a signficant day. It relates to last Monday - January 23, so you may see themes from that day repeat. Remember that this was the day Mars stationed retrograde and I suggested we take notes about what was going on in our lives that day. Today's energy relates directly to JH's photograph. Today we are like this snow goose walking around amongst a flock of Canadian geese. Everyone is in a trance, going along with the crowd, but we are seeing things from a totally different perspective from the group. The presence of the snow goose makes the "picture" of life more beautiful and more interesting. The photo would certainly be lovely without the snow goose, but the stark white contrast of this creature changes the entire aesthetic. Today, accept things as they are, but more importantly, accept yourself how you are. Do not try to be something that you are not. You are not mundane nor part of the mass illusion of fear and suffering, so do not buy into anything that tries to pull you into that. The day could be tough if we resist the changes that are underway. Banish your insecurities and step into the place of power that tells you who you truly are.

Saturday, January 28 - Sunday, January 29, 2012

Another x-class solar flare and coronal mass ejection was launched from the Sun Friday evening. The effects of this will be felt all weekend and into Monday and Tuesday. The tendency will be toward (more) dramatic displays of emotion because things are trying to sort out and come into one trajectory for life. If you feel like you are bouncing around between two things or that you have no control over what is happening in your world, your life is trying to merge into one timeline - and it is probably driving you mad. There are two things you can do. One is to go inside of your inner tree and maintain your perspective as the wise, old owl (see posts in the Archives if you are a new reader and are unfamiliar with this metaphor). The other follows yesterday's report about being like a butterfly flitting about in order to find beauty and sustenance. The question in all of this is what sustains you? To maintain sanity this weekend, spend some time outdoors and connect with the Earth and her creatures.

Friday, January 27, 2012

Today we are blessed with an infusion of renewal. What is being renewed for you? Is it renewed faith? Today we need to slow things down and open up spaces. It is also a day to connect with others of like mind and spirit, even if we aren't close to them geographically. This can be done simply by thinking about them and sending loving wishes. Spend some time outdoors and pay close attention to nature. What do you notice? Nature is going to start giving us some big messages over the next week. (If you have an interesting encounter with or notice a butterfly or an all-white animal, write to me at laura@oraclereport.com. Please tell me a little about the context of when it was sighted.) To counter the external struggle and strife present in the world and mirrored in our lives at this is time, the task today, as it is every day, is to gravitate toward beauty, just like the butterfly in this picture. Reject the chaos.

Thursday, January 26, 2012

We have two things happening today. 1) Something about ourselves/our lives will change or transmute into something else or 2) we are practicing or preparing to change or transmute something about ourselves/our lives. A new way of thinking or believing is needed today, so approach the day with an open mind and heart. Remember that the final outcome of things is not necessarily guaranteed today because one element is practicing or preparing for a change. We are rapidly and continually undergoing transformation these days, so whatever transpires or changes now may change again (several times) over the next few months. The idea today is to stay open and flexible. Avoid anything that feels too rigid.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Today's energy is like kabuki theatre - what appears to be happening is not exactly what is happening. In other words, we need to look beyond the surface of situations and events. We may not have to expend any effort in this, as the energy will strip away and reveal what needs to be uncovered. This will bring the natural tendency for us to feel more exposed and vulnerable in general, which in turn leads to heightened feelings of anxiety. The way to handle this today is to not personalize the energy. If you were wading in the ocean and a big wave came crashing in, you would know it wasn't aiming for you. You just happened to be in the water with everyone else at the time. The same is true of today's energy. It is a wave that is crashing throughout the collective of humanity, bringing forth the truth of matters in order to release us from what holds us back. It is normal to feel sensitive and anxious today, but we need to let the wave pass by us without being carried with it. This should be easier to do now that you know it isn't personal. It may also help to visualize being shot along the rainbow in an upward trajectory as pictured above. If we lift up we will be fine.

Tuesday, January 24, 2011

Yesterday Mars stationed retrograde (appeared to move backwards in the sky). On the day that planets retrograde, our best laid plans have a way of changing or facing adversity. The server for this website was down, preventing me from posting yesterday's report. So, onward we go. Today's energy is about precedent. This means that we take in what we have learned from the past - our wisdom - to navigate today's events. This day will test our internal "wise, old owl," so spiritual warrirors will need to apply all the skills we've learned throughout our lives. However, don't feel you are alone. If you need help, contact someone who you think is wise. I am disinclined toward anything that feels like a battle, but with the position of Venus today, we may feel like we are battling something. Added to this, things that transpire today have deep karmic ties, which adds to the weight of the day. It would be a good idea to write down what transpired in your life and how you were feeling yesterday because it will provide insight into the spiritual initiation (or some would say spiritual ordeal) that is taking place while Mars is retrograde through mid-April. Our lives will be sorted out in new ways during this time. For now, just take notes and consider re-reading this article that I wrote about what was in store from April 2011 - April 2012 (the astrological new year) and this articlce that I wrote at the the mid-year in September. Perhaps there is some wisdom there for you today. (There are still some issues with the site, so refresh your browser if you are having difficulty loading pages.)

The Oracle Report will return on Monday, January 23, 2012 - Mars stations retrograde

Server issues prevented today's report from being loaded.

Saturday, January 14 - Sunday, January 15, 2012

Yesterday's post is the energy that is pervasive throughout the weekend, so I have kept it up below for convenience. You'll remember that Chiron is a main player right now. There are two more players on the scene and they are the Black Moon and Jupiter. The Black Moon is conjunct Jupiter, and Jupiter expands anything it touches. So it is making the Black Moon (our fears and shadow sides, as detailed in my freee e-book) especially strong. But here's the thing: the Black Moon is now located at the position in the sky where the planet Chiron was discovered ("born" as astrologers say). This means we have double Chiron energy. Chiron is known as the "Wounded Healer." It rules not only physical and emotional pain and suffering, but also the ability to heal pain and suffering. So all of this is happening this weekend on unprecedented levels. We are awakening to our own and others' suffering and moving out of it in the process. Re-read yesterday's post for further details.

Friday, January 13, 2012

Venus enters Pisces today, meeting up with Neptune and Chiron in the sky. This configuration is going to make for exceptionally emotional few days. Venus and Neptune are naturally in resonance (Neptune is often called the "higher octave of Venus") and when they meet, creativity is heightened and our concerns with love and beauty take on renewed focus. It is very dreamy energy. However, Wounded Healer Chiron adds a certain degree of pain to the mix and causes us to be very sensitive and acutely aware of our own or others' suffering. So you will want to tread lightly today. An effective way to handle this energy is to recognize others in some way. Show your appreciation for them. People will be seeking recognition today, so give credit where credit is due. Venus' conjunction with Neptune and Chiron will be in effect throughout the weekend and the ultimate purpose is emotional catharsis. If you find yourself "checking out" or "spacing out" or feeling like you want to escape or be released (from the planet?) in some way, understand that this is part of the energy. Concentrate on finding beauty and showing appreciation and just float.

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Disseminating Moon Phases always bring us information and messages that helps us. This Disseminating Moon Phase, which starts today, will be doubly informative with the conjunction of Mercury and Pluto. Pay close attention to what is going on around you, especially if you are searching for an answer or direction. What are people telling and showing you? What did you learn about your resources yesterday? This all ties together. Today, if you are having a tough time, choose your battles. What is in your best interests? Sometimes we need to disengage our energy, or at least a large portion of it. If this rings true for you, disengage gracefully. Accept what you cannot change and do not burn bridges. But remember, this is only one round. You are not defeated.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

The keyword for today is resources. This theme will manifest in several different ways regarding internal, physical, energetic, financial, spiritual, interpersonal, educational, collective, professional, and natural resources. The tendency is to feel that we lack the resources to do something and therefore feel defeated. To counter this, consider how you can connect with others and share. Today is a day to reach out to others for support. Remember that you are only one person and no one is supposed to move through life in isolation; it causes unhappiness because human nature is group-oriented. All of Creation is a collective. Also, today is not a day where we will succeed very well with slowing down the tempo to navigate the energy. It is a full-on race, so we will need to pace ourselves to conserve our resources. It is a test of endurance. Remember that you are always connected to an endless supply of love from a higher Source.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012

If a situation strongly engages your emotions today, you will want to stop and gauge what is going on before you leap into a reaction. Today's energy requires skillful maneuvering, not knee-jerk responses. In fact, we need to pay attention to what is going on in the background instead of what is obvious in the foreground. Is your core fear being engaged? A choir of messages and information is on its way as Mercury comes up to make a conjunction with Pluto over the next few days. Mercury-Pluto conjunctions often deliver messages that are hard to take, but this time around they will send information to help us align with choices that will make our lives happier in certain ways. These planets will clear up situations that have been confusing for us. Also, a look ahead tells us that the next major astrological event is Mars turning retrograde on January 23. Mars will be retrograde until April 14, during which time it will be more challenging to move forward on things - like a car stuck in neutral. If there is something you need to take care of so that it is in place for forward movement, take steps now to put those plans into action. Situations will re-work themselves behind the scenes and then jump forward when Mars goes direct, but the interim will require the skills of going inside ourselves and taking the stance of wise observer and holding ground like a sturdy tree. We can prepare in advance now by initiating action before the retrograde begins.

Monday, January 9, 2012

Today we need to make sure we are not taking on too much. The energy will lean toward making us feel overwhelmed or burdened with responsibilities - some of which may be beyond our capabilities at this time. Be on guard from others putting too much on you without thought of the consequences (in other words, dumping their responsibilities or feelings onto you). It will be essential to balance today's energy with rest and even better - play! Full Moon phases have a tendency to blow things up or out of proportion. Be like a tree towering above the imbalances and distortions.

Saturday, January 7 - Sunday, January 8, 2012

Ready to take a dare? This weekend brings the energy to go out on a limb or shed something that has been holding us back. Restrictions and limitations will not be well-tolerated. The planet Eris will station direct this weekend and with it bring a much needed rectification of situations (usually in the form of an awakening to something). If you have read my book on Eris (free e-book available on the "Books" page), you'll remember that Eris was the mythical goddess who lobbed the "Apple of Discord" at Aphrodite, Athena, and Hera - the catalyzing event that led to the Trojan War. What this means to us is that we will see something more clearly and it will unlock a chain of events that will help us actualize our potential and lead better lives. This may be a small insight, but it has the power to make significant changes. It is a face to face encounter with ourselves. This energy can also bring about change through aggression and conflict, and some will manifest it this way. If you are having a tough time this weekend, focus on releasing what is binding you and causing you to suffer. There is no need for this any longer. The cycles ended with the end of the Mayan Calendar on October 28, 2011, which fully released us from the past. The trick is to remember it.

Friday, January 6, 2012

Whereas the last few days have been days for our minds, today is a day for our bodies. Today's energy is about re-establishing our vitality. If you have been neglecting your physical body, any efforts to take better care of yourself will go a long way. This is prime Capricorn energy that faciliates discipline and structure. We will stand stronger. Since late November I have been talking about the importance of developing the skill of being like a wise, old owl who takes to the inside of a tree when things in the outside world become overwhelming and chaotic. The ability to shift in and out of the tree will become more and more crucial throughout 2012 and beyond. Since November we've had a lot of practice with this. But now we are adding another skill to our repertoire: the skill to also be the tree. Sometimes our focus will need to be holding our ground. Some of us are like sturdy oak trees and some of us are like weeping willow trees. Each is beautiful and unique, and all types of trees are needed. Certain days call for a different type of tree. So we are working on our mental bodies being like an owl and our physical bodies being like a tree. Give some thought to what type of "tree" you are (or want to be) and practice the art of standing strong and swaying in the breeze. Deep roots will assist us through the shift of energies that is happening on a galactic scale. Be good to your body and do something to strengthen it today.

Thursday, January 5, 2012

Today brings us a bounty in the form of messages and information. Mercury is located at the degree of the Galactic Center and anytime a planet is located at this place in the sky, an almost limitless amount of that planet's energy is translated to us. Our thoughts are the focus today. What is on your mind? If you find yourself preoccupied with failures, disappointments, or feeling "off track," understand that this is the nature of the energy today, and it is happening to help us break through to another perspective. Work through this as it happens today and remember that the energy changes every day. Keep in mind that today's energy is more solitary. Everyone will be walking around in their minds. Try to stay in your heart as much as possible. This will balance all of the mental energy. If you recall, two days ago I wrote that the next three days would give our psyches a workout (see Archives). Today we have the culmination of that. Try not to overthink things and don't be too hard on yourself.

Wednesday, January 4, 2012

Today involves themes of stability. Stability is hard to find in the world right now. This is because we are in a time of shift and 2012 is the pivot point of this. Some people are taking advantage of this and using the energy to their benefit. We see this in the world at large and in the microcosm of our personal lives. The things that provide us stability are not the things that used to provide stability. Jobs and mortgages are no longer anchors. This means we must fortify ourselves from an inner, deeper level with the stability that comes from our personal connection with our higher source, however we choose to know it. It also means we find comfort in those things that are truly important - friends, family, beloved animals, and the beauty of nature. We cannot stop the changes. We must learn how to adapt and find equilibrium. Adjust your expectations that are based on the past-that world ended with the end of the Mayan Calendar on October 28, 2011.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012

Today brings us the power for super-focus, new beginnings, and harnessing of resources. The energy is quite strong, so pace yourself so you don't get burned out. In a way, today is like playing with fire. We need to be careful how we approach and handle things. How far are you willing to take things? Mercury is being heavily activated today (a coronal mass ejection will impact it) and it has us mentally projecting all kinds of scenarios. This, too, can be taken too far, causing a lot of mental confusion. Don't burn out your psyche! Answers will present themselves over the next three days. so don't feel like you have to know everything today.

Monday, January 2, 2012

The Universe may call on you today to offer assistance to one or more people. This could come in the form of offering advice, information, leadership, or wisdom. Perhaps someone you know needs to share with someone who listens but does not judge. Venus and the asteroid Pallas Athena are conjunct today, which means those who are inclined to help others (as opposed to those who are inclined to only help themselves) are called upon to shine love for our fellow beings and use what we know to be true in service to others. This does not mean we impose anything upon people. It means we maintain our energetic field in high spiritual resonance, performing random acts of kindess, but are on stand-by in case someone directly asks us for something. Also today, the Moon and Jupiter make a conjunction and bring a degree of clarity that is like a clear mountain stream. If you have been confused about something, today could offer you just what you need to gain a new perspective on the matter. What is clear to you today?

Sunday, January 1, 2012

There is a brightness to today's energy that goes well with starting new years. If yesterday's post did not make much sense, it may be clearer today. The Sun delivered some much-needed love in the form of an M-2 class solar flare that created waves of ionic disturbance in the atmosphere (particularly concentrated over Europe). A polar observatory in Norway stated it proved that they, even at that extreme longitude and latitude, still had contact with the Sun. This is science catching up with common sense. Of course they never lost contact with the Sun. The light is always there, even when we can't see or feel it very well. Please forgive the obvious metaphor. It has been very dark since the lunar eclipse on December 10. Life has not been easy. But it is time to put all of that away. Just let it go or organize a space for it. "Letting things go" doesn't mean we necessarily cut it out. It means we just put it in a better, more organized, more functional place. We may even showcase it prominently. In some way today, find your own bit of luxury. This is the energy the Sun disseminated overnight. How do I know? I look at the degree of the Sun and read what the ancients told us about the nature of the Sun that day (called the Sabian symbols). For this day it is "pheasants display their brilliant colors on a private estate." It is about enjoying life's luxuries (on the negative side it is about the tendency for people to fear being overlooked, therefore trying to stand out from the crowd in an unbecoming way). Really all we need to do is make something more beautiful today with gentleness and remember the lesson that we are always connected to our Source.

Saturday, December 31, 2011

The last day of 2011 brings us energy to finally overcome an long-time obstacle, reunite with someone or something with which we have been estranged, see the truth of a situation, forgive and transcend a wrong, and accept the way things are. All of these things can be applied personally to yourself, as in overcoming a barrier you've put in place for yourself, reuniting with an aspect of yourself, seeing the truth in your actions and motivations, forgiving yourself for things you have done, and accepting where you are while taking responsibility for where you want to be. This astrological confluence is quite a blessing on the eve of a new year. It isn't the new year astrologically or naturally - that comes with the New Moon in Aries in the spring. But we'll take it! Graciously accept what your internal barometer showed you yesterday about the state of things for you now (and the state of things to come) and give thanks for the insight. One other thing: The North Node and Venus are in sextile, meaning events that transpire today within relationships have a destiny quality. Whatever happens or develops is meant to happen or develop.

Friday, December 30, 2011

Today brings the culmination of intense solar and astrological energy. Emotions remain high and situations changeable, but in the midst of all of this, we are gifted with insight and understanding about something. This information is like a barometer, helping us gauge situations. The power to "tune in" and radiate harmony is also high. Our personal energetic fields, which exists as generators of love and light on the planet, are "amped up" today. At the same time, situations or people that are radiating on the negative end of the spectrum also have their personal energetic fields magnified, so be aware of this. Mars is the big story today, prompting impulsivity and aggression but also forward movement and refreshment.

Thursday, December 29, 2011

So today we are in the middle of the three-day period of intense solar and astrological effects (see yesterday's post in the Archives for more information). The energy is unsettling and a whirlwind of rapid change is underway. The task is to be "at one" with everything, no matter what is happening. It is a test of how well we can let things be. When chaos is swirling around you, the only option is to freeze and let the outer changes take place. To me, the trees in the photograph above look like they are frozen in place with the sky all around. With the nature of the energy right now, it would be very easy to "lose it" in some way - an outburst, an over-reaction, an accident, etc. Understand the tendency for the energy to over-run you and if you feel it on your heels, counter it by grounding yourself in place and letting it blow past you. Emotions are running exceptionally high and people are at a breaking point. This will all reach a peak tomorrow, so hold tight and stay the course.

Wednesday, December 28, 2011

On Sunday, Christmas Day, a new sunspot erupted and unleashed a solar flare which then became a coronal mass ejection. All of this energy will hit Earth today and Mars on Friday. This energy is highly charged with emotion and the power to change situations. But, as if that weren't enough, the Sun hurled another coronal mass ejection our way on Monday. This energy is traveling even faster than the first and will also hit Earth today. When the energy makes a direct hit on Mars, Mars is going to feel it and then it is going to make sure we feel it. Mars is the ruler of energy to step forward, branch out, do something completely new. It is also hyper-aggressive, masculine energy that is like a warrior. Remember that the New Moon in Capricorn (Saturday, Chistmas Eve) was already being "charged" in the direction of Saturn (ruler of Capricorn) to change the structure of things. Remember also that the New Moon was conjunct Pluto, so we have a good bit of masculine energy mixing up. Today and Friday will have a strong effect on us and on the planet. The Sun will make the exact conjunction with Pluto today, pulling all that has transpired since the day of the New Moon (Christmas Eve) forward. The themes, feelings, or issues that were going on then will be supercharged now. When the Sun contacts Pluto, it brings things up that are deeply buried. It is extremely intense energy and the solar flares will enhance it. We began to feel the effects of this last night, in fact. So we want to plan ahead and make sure we are aligning with light because that is what we are always supposed to do, especially when we can't figure out what to do. Just be kind. No, be even kinder, especially to yourself. This is certainly a day for wise, old owls to keep their perspective from inside the tree. Maintain the locus of your control on the inside - not based on what is going on outside. Try not to react, hard as it may be. Let's get the message of what the Sun (Tzolkin) is trying to show us.

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

Today could bring up fears of the unknown and fears about the future, causing us to be afraid of making any type of move. There is also potential for us to be concerned about finances. Counter this by affirming that all we need will be provided. Cancel out any negative thoughts by turning things over to a higher power, if only for today. The energy will shift tomorrow so just recognize that this is the way that it is today. It is actually a very good day to move forward or make a change with something. If you read yesterday's post, you'll know that we are receiving important information right now. So take that step - it is preparation for the future, not fear of the future that we are working on. Tomorrow is power-packed, so make sure you check back then.

Monday, December 26, 2011

This past weekend certainly brought some things to light. Saturday (Christmas Eve) brought out the best and brightest and/or in some cases, a version of the darkest. Both things transferred over into Sunday. We'll revisit all on Wedneday. For today, prepare to feel a release or understanding. It is telling us something important. It's a "message day" - a day when we receive things loudly and clearly. We may not like what we see but perhaps you can see the truth in it. This information will be directly related to our future. On a side note, try to gently stretch as much as possible today because not only is it needed, but it will help a lot. You'll instantly feel good. Take things as they come today and don't force any issues. Today directly links to the events of this past December 6 -7th. Look back to what was going on for you then and see the progression.

For longtime readers/readers who study astrology: Jupiter - the planet that expands and releases - stationed direct (appeared to move forward in the sky again) overnight and this always brings a refreshing release from all kinds of things. Now that Jupiter is in Taurus, the expansion and release is gradual and slow, so we have some time to adjust to it instead of being whipped like a slingshot (like it was when Jupiter was in Aries). It is important to think of all of this in the context of transformation. Things are transforming. We are always transforming and growing as people, but this is like a bonus time. It is also a gift. In addition, Mercury ("the Messenger," information, messages) also makes exact conjunction with the North Node (destiny, the future, mission in life) today at 2:20 pm EST at 14 Sagittarius. Today directly links to the events of December 6-7, when the Sun was at 14 Sagittaruis. The Sun initiated this energy and Mercury and the North Node, redisseminate it wider so that the message is sure to be heard. It was a "marking point) because the Sabian symbol for this degree is "the pyramid and the sphynx." This energy stand the test of time, which means it is powerful and means a lot.

Saturday, December 24, 2011 - New Moon Phase

It would be easy to give in to the theme of today's energy - a buzzkill. By this I mean that there is a distinct damper being placed on fun and enjoyment. But The Oracle Report is here to tell you about the pervasive energy and then give suggestions on how to handle it more effectively (in a way that serves our personal spiritual enlightenment and the evolution of the planet as a whole). Most importantly, we will need to significantly revise our expectations today. It's a new Moon with completely different energy from last month. Last month was ethereal and nebulous and this month is hard, cold reality. So if we soften our expectations of ourselves and others, we will be way ahead of the game. If you find yourself beginning to struggle with anything, stop yourself and let it go. Don't fight it! Fall back on the inner resources you developed over the past month - this is your true home. Accept that this is just a really weird day at an inopportune time. Make your own fun and joy in whatever way you can. This energy will bring out the worst in many. Stand your ground, radiate your own field, and let it all happen around you. Doing this will change the conditions and lessen the effects. This New Moon is in Capricorn - which is ruled by Saturn and he doesn't play around. The New Moon is also conjunct Pluto - which takes things deeply into the negative in order to bring about new positives. It is heavy energy, so do your best to lighten the mood and don't allow others to make your day for you.

Friday, December 23, 2011

There are elements to today's energy that bring about emotional "bombardment" or "disconnection." We may feel like we are "under attack" in some way, or may even be attacking ourselves - berating ourselves or feeling like things are never going to change. It will be necessary to practice the skill of going inside ourselves and taking the perspective of the observer more than we have had to over the past few days. Wise old owls know when to retreat to their trees (new readers can refer to posts from November 26-27 in the Archives for more on this) . This will help us maintain emotional equilibrium and keep our inner light burning brightly. This energy also causes carelessness, especially carelessness with words, so be kind with your words today and you will counter the aggressiveness that is present. The day is going to build in intensity as it progresses, as we approach tomorow's New Moon, which will be within five degrees conjunction with Pluto - serious business. For today, just be the owl and choose your words carefully.

Thursday, December 22, 2011

Today we have a few different things going on, and you may experience one or all of them. First, if you need help, you need to ask for it. This could range anywhere along the spectrum from needing help at work to needing help dealing with deep emotional pain. If you are toward the deep emotional pain end, there is no reason to suffer because the Universe has people in place to help you and all you need to do is reach out. Allow yourself to be vulnerable enough to admit that you need help and turn to someone you trust. Second, there are leadership issues in play today. Someone (is it you?) needs to rise to the occasion to make the situation better. Step up if you see that something needs to be done. The personal side of this tells us that we need to stand up for ourselves and honor our own needs. It is easy to get carried away with giving to others this time of year, but try to keep things in balance as much as possible. Standing up for yourself may mean sitting down and resting! Third and finally, something may prove to no longer be tolerable to you today. You may reach your limit. This may not be something you want to admit. It is important to realize that this does not necessarily mean that it is "the end" but it is a sign that an adjustment needs to be made. The structure of the situation may need to be changed. Today's energy (with the Black Moon and Jupiter in conjunction) wants to free us from restrictions and limitations. This energy is extremely reactive so be aware of this and use your inner wisdom to transcend the emotions of it and see the truth that is being shown to you. Tonight is the longest night of the year here in the Northern Hemisphere - the best night for a long winter's nap and a big dream. Before you go to bed tonight, count your blessings and envision a grand dream for yourself and the planet.

Wednesday, December 21, 2011

Of all of the days of the year, today, the last day that the Sun is in Sagittarius, is one of the most powerful. For this reason, we will need to take great care with our actions, words, and intentions today. Maintain the highest frame of mind (love) and retreat into your inner self (the "tree" for wise, old owls) if you feel like you are being taken off-center. This energy will force us take full responsibility for our actions very quickly, so we want to make sure that we hold ourselves to a higher standard to avoid problems. You may feel like you are being tested. If something negative starts developing around you, step back and look where power and control issues are coming into play. This will be important information for you. The shadow side of personality will easily come out today and there is potential for things that shock or suprise us. But the thing to remember today is how powerful it will be to radiate kindness and love because it will not just ripple out in waves, it will transmit out like lightning and "charge" the field. Big medicine, as the Indians would say.

You'll see that I have released my book on the Black Moon for free download today. This book is the culmination of five long years of my life. I had not originally intended for it to be free, but this information is our God-given right and should be given for free ("freed," as you will read). The book is written primarily for astrologers, but anyone can look up their birthday at the end of the book to find which sign their Black Moon is in and then read about it in Chapter 2. You can also read how you know true love in Chapter 7. It is my hope that you will find something of value even if you know nothing about astrology. If you do know someone who studies astrology, please send them this link or print off a copy and give it as a gift. The archetype of the Black Moon (The Mother) is intricately tied to Christmas and the ancient roots of this time of year. In fact, the painting on the cover by acclaimed artist Felicia Olin is titled "The Virgin Mary." Interestingly, I had not fully integrated the Black Moon as the Mother energy a couple of years ago when the painting "spoke" to me as needing to be the cover. You can find more of Felicia's work on her site at www.feliciaolin.com. She is a gifted artist. Finally, if you wish to order a signed, paperback copy you can read about that on the "Books" tab above. Thank you to all of you who have helped bring the Black Moon to light. Merry Christmas from The Oracle Report with love.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Yesterday was about building bridges but today focuses on the water under the bridge (letting go of the past). The Moon in Scorpio will oppose the Black Moon for the first time since it entered Taurus and the position of Mars prompts the potential for outburts, eruptions, and temper tantrums. All of this will trigger the Black Moon in Taurus issues that I discussed last week (see post from Friday, December 16 on the "Archives" page for more information), particularly issues related to appearances and insecurities. It is important to look beyond appearances and on to the true spirit. We are much more than what we "appear" to be. To begin with, we are our hearts. As for insecurities, they are a mask for fear of what we think will happen to us if we don't "have enough" or "aren't enough" or don't "do enough." But "enough" what? What really matters? This is the question today. What is truly of value to you? Today, decide what that is and radiate it outward. Old insecurities and fears no longer matter, so let them move past like water under the bridge. (And be sure to check back tomorrow for a special surprise.)

Today is about building bridges. Circumstances and conditions may try to tempt us into feeling alone in the world, but is actually showing us how connected we are. It is a beautiful thing and right within your reach to experience if you think about the actual blessings you have. This time of year is about giving and the ability to receive. If you are reading this, most likely it is much easier for you to give than to receive. But the lesson lies here. How happy are you making someone? You have the power to do an amazing job. And beyond that, at a higher level, doing just as much good to strangers. Hold a door (or many of them). Notice the effort put into preparing a holiday dish (especially dessert and candy) and tell the cook how great it was. Compliment a Christmas sweater (no matter how heinous you think it is). Acknowledge in your heart how thankful you are for all that someone does for you and think of them (the message will be received, believe me). In other words, make contact in some way because this is building bridges. It is not only setting things up for the future but it is also doing wonderful things for the energetic field of the human collective and the Earth. Slow things down and plan your day, but don't over plan because you won't have as much time to think about these things and do them. To do this, go "inside" yourself (as the "wise, old owl" for readers who have been following this idea - see "Archives" page) and take the position of observer. Then go back about your routine from a normal perspective. Repeat as needed. This is the technique that will enable us to maintain a high spiritual level (stay at a better speed) while chaos ensues around us. Take what you can from today's Oracle Report and blow past anything you don't understand. Just connect with something and send back a thank you from the heart. Enjoy the holiday lights all around you and thanks for reading!

Saturday, December 17 - Sunday, December 18, 2011

This weekend the Sun will conjunct the Galactic Center and it gives us the opportunity for vision. We are the sculptors of our lives and our intentions and mindset over the weekend will have a great deal of power while the Sun is in this position. The situations and conditions in your life are able to be mentally manipulated into something else - something that serves you instead of hindering you. Yesterday we couldn't really get a handle on things, but this weekend we have the power to project anything. This is a great opportunity because the potential to be impatient, angry, dissatisfied (with ourselves and others), and disappointed is high with the mega-conjunction of the Black Moon and Jupiter in Taurus. Slow down, find simple joy, and take in the beautiful light.

Friday, December 16, 2011 - Black Moon Enters Taurus

At 2:00 pm EST today. the Black Moon will move from Aries into Taurus while at the same time conjuncting Jupiter. The Black Moon will remain in Taurus until September 2012. The Black Moon brings up fears in order for them to be purged. The Black Moon in Taurus relates specifically to fears about scarcity of resources and money and a lack of safety and security. Taurus is ruled by Venus, so the combination with the Black Moon delves deep to reveal insecurities within relationships and personal insecurities related to appearance and beauty. The added element of Jupiter will expand this to great proportions. If you are a Taurus, the Black Moon will conjunct your Sun sometime between now and September, depending on how early or late in the sign you were born (if you find yourself having a difficult time, feel free to contact me to schedule a reading). However, this energy will also affect the human collective at large, and will cause chaos for the already precarious global financial situation. Most likely, the global bankers will bring about an entirely new banking system while the Black Moon is in Taurus (for more information on the global powers, see my book Eris, available for free download on the "Books" page). The Black Moon in Taurus is going to intensify any fears you are having about money and your sense of safety in the world. Since today is the day it enters Taurus, these themes may present themselves in a dramatic way. During all of this, we will need to remember that life on this planet is transient. In the spiritual sense, the details rarely matter. What matters is how kind of a person we are, not how wealthy or safe we are. We are wealthy and safe in spirit. If you feel like you can't get a good handle on things today. stop trying. Today is not a day where we feel in control. Turn things over to a Higher Power and focus on something that brings you joy.

Thursday, December 15, 2011 - Mercury Stations Direct

Today, the door opens for us as Mercury stations direct (appears to move forward in the sky once again). Mercury went retrograde on November 25th, and I wrote: "Those born under the signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will be most impacted by this. This Mercury retrograde will find us retreating or withdrawing somewhat from our normal routine. The energy will cause us to go inside ourselves and view what is happening from a new perspective. We will go into "observer mode" because we are preparing to change something about our lives when Mercury goes direct. Also, we are going to see how the way we express ourselves (verbally, physically, emotionally, spiritually) has been inadequate. Conditions will change dramatically for some, prompting moves of all kinds (moves to new places, job changes, restructuring of relationships)."

These things have now transpired and we are free to move forward with a new mindset. It is time to venture out once again. Since we stayed in observer mode from the perspective of our inner self (our "tree") we strengthened our fortitude and spirit and began exercising the spiritual muscles that will serve us throughout 2012 and beyond. If at any time you begin to feel pulled out into the chaotic swirl of the world around you, all you need to do is turn back inside and observe (turn back in to the wise, old owl - see post for November 26th on the "Archives" page for more information). Keep in mind that telecommunications, interpersonal communications, travel, and electronics experience challenges on the days Mercury stations retrograde and direct, so be patient. These issues will pass. (Also, many thanks to the readers who sent their kind thoughts and wishes over the past few days. I sustained a back injury and was unable to post. I am "back" on the mend with the shift in energy. All of us mutables - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces - will feel some relief with Mercury direct today. Hallelujah!)

Saturday, December 10 - Sunday, December 11, 2011

Full Moon Phase - Total Lunar Eclipse, Uranus Stations Direct

With Saturday's Total Lunar Eclipse, the light of the Full Moon is "hidden" during these darkest days of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. From this, a shift in the conditions and circumstances of our lives will be born, as all things are born from darkness - the great womb of the feminine energy. Additionally, the planet Uranus will station direct (appear to move forward again in the sky) at the degree from which the zodiac itself burst out - the first degree of Aries. As I mentioned yesterday, energy with enormous potential is present also. All of this will bring a tremendous push forward - a push out of present circumstances and mind sets that are holding us back, and a push toward conditions that are more nourishing to our souls. This may be quite emotionally taxing for some, especially if your circumstances are in need of dramatic change and if themes of selfishness have been present in some way. Take breaks and retreat to your inner temple as often as possible and turn in early. Get as much rest as you can throughout the weekend. Note that this is the beginning of a shift which will take time to fully manifest. Essentially, this is the beginning of the "Great Shift" that will unfold over the next year. All that we need to do is be open to the shift and trust that we are fully supported by Spirit.

Friday, December 9, 2011

Today we have a rare combination of energies that enables us to take a risk in some way but remain protected while we do it. In essence, we can take a leap of faith with a parachute on our backs. If there is something you've wanted to do (step out, make a change) you will be supported. This type of opportunity does not come along very often and will be enhanced by tomorrow's Total Lunar Eclipse of the Full Moon and the planet Uranus stationing direct (appearing to move forward again in the sky). The best use of the energy is to consider what you fear the most right now and then set the intention to emotionally, physically, and mentally move beyond it. The energy will respond accordingly. 2012 is going to push on our fears. Take today's opportunity to take a good look at what holds you back, knowing that you will overcome it in 2012, and in so doing, become free.

Thursday, December 8, 2011

The energy calms down today, so unless you have specific aspects happening in your personal astrological chart, you can catch your breath. As I discussed earlier this month, anyone born under the signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, and Capricorn is being put to the test. The energy has shifted out of the intensity that Mars, Pluto, and Venus brought to us and the surface of the Sun is relatively calm. So today we want to keep things as simple as possible and focus on simple joys, like the beauty of holiday lights - which is actually an expression of Spirit bringing light to darkness. In the Northern Hemisphere, where most of the readers of this site access from, we are in the darkest nights of the year. Since the New Moon we have been the wise, old owl inside the darkness of our tree (our inner temple) peering out into the misty chaos of the world around us. The world is a nebulous place right now and it is hard to get a firm grip on anything. But the mission has not been to get a grip. The mission has been to become adept at maneuvering to that quiet place inside ourselves and holding there. How are you doing with this? It is the most important thing you can do at this time because it will be a necessity as we move through 2012. It is ok to venture outside of the tree today, but if things get too dark for you, come back so you can re-light your own space.

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Today's energy has a way of making us somewhat obsessive. It will drive us into being focused on one specific thing and it will be hard to see alternatives or even other positive things that are present. The thing we need to ask ourselves if we fall into the trap of focusing on one thing is if we are diminishing our essential worth while we are trying to please a specific need. Are we or the people we are involved with today just looking for scraps and are those scraps worth it? Today, we need to make sure we aren't waiting around for something, especially something that really isn't really worth it or something that compromises the truth of who we are. Right now, things are out of reach, but that doesn't mean it will always be this way. Everything happens according to a process. Today's energy will bring out jealousy, so be aware of this as well, and counter it as much as possible. It is certainly a day to sit inside your tree and look out at the bigger picture, not just one aspect of the scene. Don't let yourself get focused on one feeling, idea, or belief because it will cause you to spiral downward. The direction we need to go is inward, not downward.

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Kundalini rises today. Kundalini is life force energy that usually lies dormant unitl a certain age (around 42), unless certain techniques are undertaken to raise it or unless it is spontaneously released due to certain events. At any rate, when it does erupt it is raw power that makes us quake and shake inside, but also brings us tremendous insight and wisdom. This is happening with the energy today. The planets are forcing kundalini to rise within the collective of humanity and within the Earth herself. This will expand the emotional stirring that has been going on since last week - since Venus, Pluto, and Mars have been in aspect. It will manifest as feelings of anger, anxiety, burn out, outbursts, strong attractions, and restlessness. However, some much-needed relief (in the form of closure, release, reconciliation, revision, or modification) is trying to come into play. We are being pushed forward whether we like it or not or whether or not we feel we are ready. If you feel something welling up inside of you, know that this is meant to happen, but try to control your reaction as much as possible. We are still in the window of time where we need to be in observer mode. Focus on the wisdom aspect as opposed to the eruptive aspect of the energy. Meditate on what it is that sets your soul on fire, because this information is available today and will be useful for the future.

Monday, December 5, 2011

Today's energy holds the power for us to make a mark in some way. Something quite long-lasting could be put into place. We want to take advantage of this opportunity by thinking about what we would like to be permanent in our lives. This could be anything from a permanent state of mind, a permanent feeling, or a permanent feature. At the very least, we want to make a symbolic gesture of some sort with this, like stating your intention or commitment out loud. All kinds of things can be captured today. Until December 15th, we are continuing to remain centered inside of ourselves, observing what is going on outside. Inner guidance is what helps us right now. The planets are really stirring things up, especially within relationships. Romantic relationships are receiving the main thrust of this, but familial and professional relationships are also being affected. There is an internal push to move, shift, or change - and it is strong! Believe it or not, this is actually a good thing because it is bringing revisions and modifications that will make situations and conditions better than they were. The strongest effects of this will be felt tomorrow. Tomorrow is an astrological powerhouse, so be sure to check back.

Saturday, December 3 - Sunday, December 4, 2011

This weekend's energy relates to getting rid of darkness in our past. Mercury will conjunct the Sun with Mars making a square, which will bring up and expose some element of the past that may be causing us trouble. With the added element of Mars, things have the potential to get heated. Don't lose your cool. Old stories or patterns may crop up and some of them need to be forgotten. If you find yourself falling into an old thought or belief system, there is something here you need to evaluate. This is particularly related to feeling isolated, cut-off, and alone. Mercury always brings us messages. I've discussed how things are being revised and re-worked while Mercury is retrograde until December 15th. This means that whatever is going on now will not come into full clarity, understanding, and implementation until that time. Until then, we should be exercising our skills of going within and maintaining the perspective of the observer. Additionally, practicing the art of compromise will prevent a lot of unnecessary drama this weekend. Reflect back on yesterday's post regarding the personal energetic field that you are generating and carry yourself proudly as a strong spiritual warrior.

Friday, December 2, 2011

Since the New Moon, our focus has been to go inside ourselves to take the perspective of an observer. The purpose of this has been to learn the skill that will be most critical throughout 2012. We must become very familiar with the exercise of stepping inside ourselves and holding our ground amidst the chaos, unrest, and change of the external world. At the same time, as we do this, we are generating a field of consciousness that helps everyone with whom we come into contact (including strangers that we pass on the street) and also the planet herself. Each of us has an energetic field around our bodies that holds a specific frequency. Being the wise, old owl in the tree is a highly spiritual frequency that counters the effects of the crazy, buzzy, erratic, and high-speed frequencies that most people are holding. These buzzy frequencies are an unconsious reaction to the fact that the Sun is no longer directing and balancing all of the energy in the solar system. I am working on an article that explains this more fully, but this is why things seem so crazy and why people are "losing their minds." As we adjust to this, all of us are losing our minds to some degree or another, but it is a good thing if you know what is happening because we are actually losing what we no longer need - things that trap and limit us. The only way to maintain sanity is through the shift to the inner perspective. Today, as a reader of The Oracle Report, integrate the awareness that you are a field generator. As you walk through your office, through a store, through your house, be aware of the fact that the energetic field of your wise old owl is moving along with you. Today is a highly emotional day. Logic and reasoning will have no place, so don't try to force logical thought. Answers will only come from an emotional, intuitive source. There is simple joy to be found in life today. Slow the pace down and continue generating the wonderful field of consciousness that you are, knowing that it is not only appreciated at higher levels, but is also much stronger than you realize.

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Chain reactions that began over the weekend continue an explosive trend today. Mars, the God of War, Anger, and Aggression, is dominating the energy by making aspects to not only the Sun but also to the ultra-powerful annual conjunction of Venus and Pluto. These influences are having a direct result on hearts (the physical organ of the heart and the emotional dynamo of the heart). If this energy is affecting you strongly (which it most likely is if you are a Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, as well as Capricorn), take to heart that the conditions you are experiencing are part of a major rectification of the course of your life and your future -particularly involving personal and professional relationships and the management of grief, sadness, and broken dreams. A new response to life is coming from deep within your mind and soul. However, this new response will not be visible in the slightest way until at least December 15, so we have to trust that it is happening. Mars energy is impulsive. When it is in full effect, it is hard for us to remember to go within and take the stance of the observer (see the last several days' posts on the "Archives" page for more info). We are supposed to be emulating the wise old owl shrouded behind the leaves of the tree, watching what is happening. But if you can't fight the urge to swoop down and take something out, at least trust that your instincts are true and accept the changes that the chain reaction brings.

Monday, November 28, 2011

Today the heart chakra is in focus. The symbol for the degree of the Sun today is "Cupid knocking at the door of the human heart" and Mercury is conjunct the planetary body known as Cupid. This energy is all about messages and information (about love and about what makes us happy) trying to reach us. Barriers or defenses that we have put up around our hearts are trying to come down. If opportunity knocks today, take advantage and open the door. Our fears lie deep within our hearts, and today's energy also relates to fear of commitment or fear of losing independence. If you are experiencing this, go inside your heart, take the position of the wise old owl (read this past weekend's posts for more information on this), and perform a detailed analysis of exactly what is going on. Blocking emotions is not going to work well today - things need to flow. (Note: On November 26th, an explosion on the Sun caused a significant radiation storm and a coronal mass ejection was released. This energy will reach the planet today. Our bodies respond directly to solar radiation, so be kind to yourself and move or stretch as much as possible. The CME will also serve to ramp up the day's events and stir up emotions.)

Saturday, November 26 - Sunday, November 27, 2011

Every time Mars and Pluto aspect each other, the energy is intense and draining. This, in addition to coming off of a month of the heaviest compression ever experienced on the planet (the month since the end of October), has taken a toll on us. Our energy levels have been taxed. As I discussed yesterday, the next couple of weeks will be a time when it is essential to withdraw somewhat and go within, adopting the perspective of an observer. Saturday's energy takes all this one step further, with the added energy of the wise old owl. You will do yourself a favor over the next couple of weeks if you think of yourself as a wise old owl inside of a tree and watching what is going on around you instead of being out in it. I have changed the picture on the website to facilitate a shift in vantage point. We are inside the tree looking out from behind the last leaves of autumn into the mists of the surrounding forest. Admittedly, this report is a little strange or "out there," but it is important. We must come in from the intensity.

Sunday's energy is concerned with maintaining integrity - the integrity (or strength and design) of structures, the integrity of groups, and personal integrity. Things that are in a weakened state will succumb. The Moon will pass over Pluto (in Capricorn - the sign of structure), with Venus hot on its tail, all while Mars continues to trine Pluto. This is very dramatic energy that is like a chain reaction. Continue the view of the owl...

Friday, November 25, 2011 - Mercury Stations Retrograde

A veritable cocktail of energies mixes things up today. Mercury turns retrograde, which brings us challenges with communications, electronics, and travel today. Patience is needed if you are out and about! Mercury will be retrograde until December 15th. Those born under the signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will be most impacted by this. This Mercury retrograde will find us retreating or withdrawing somewhat from our normal routine. The energy will cause us to go inside ourselves and view what is happening from a new perspective. We will go into "observer mode" because we are preparing to change something about our lives when Mercury goes direct. Also, we are going to see how the way we express ourselves (verbally, physically, emotionally, spiritually) has been inadequate. Conditions will change dramatically for some, prompting moves of all kinds (moves to new places, job changes, restructuring of relationships). Again, the signs mentioned above will feel this the most. Today's New Moon in Sagittarius is also a partial Solar Eclipse. Those most affected by this have Sun signs at 0-6 degrees of the signs previously cited. This month it will be important for all of us to plan what we are doing. Impulsivity is discouraged. The energy is helping us recognize the truth about situations in our lives that need to be rectified. It is always a good idea to make a wish or set an intention on the first day of the New Moon. Consider a wish for clarity about what you need to do to best prepare yourself for what's ahead.

Thursday, November 24, 2011

Today there is a need to be more thoughtful and cautious, taking into account the wider picture because the tendency will be toward impulsivity (and possible anger and aggression with Mars squaring Pluto). Mercury will go retrograde tomorrow (appear to move backward in the sky) and will remain so until December 15th. Mercury retrograde causes difficulties with communication, telecommunications, electronics, and travel. Themes that are going on in your life now will be re-worked while Mercury is retrograde. This Mercury retrograde will be particularly strong because it occurs on the same day as the New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse. Stay tuned tomorrow for more information.

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

Today, each of is us is like a deep-sea diver in an ocean filled with whitecaps. On the surface, lots of things (emotions, beliefs, ideas, dreams) are being stirred up, but we need to go deeper to see what is really happening. This means that whatever is being presented actuallly has its source underneath (deep inside). So if you or someone you are with is upset or angry, there is a deeper reason for it than what is being projected. Try not to take things on face value today. It will be very easy to be reactive today, but we would just be whipped about by the wind for no good reason at all. Take the "charge" out of today's energy by "escaping" below the surface (go inside yourself). And don't take on board what doesn't belong to you.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

Today we need to pay attention to where we are expending (over-expending) our energy. Burn-out is high right now, particularly if you feel that you are the "driving force" in something and not receiving what you feel you deserve or if people are not responding in kind. An important adjustment needs to be made because these feelings are showing us where we are out of balance. If you feel that the weight or burden of something has been piling up on you, you will need to take a time out from that today. Don't do it and see what happens. It may seem that no one is noticing all that you are doing, but most likely they really are, but have been caught up in their own world. Everyone is trying to navigate life now that the Mayan Calendar has ended (even if they are unaware of it). The Sun moves out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius today. Sagittarius energy is much less serious and heavy. It is ruled by lofty Jupiter, which values freedom, exploration, and higher spiritual ideals. Today, the energy will feel quite heavy, but will lighten up as the Sun wanes.

Monday, November 21, 2011

Long-time followers of The Oracle Report will remember that Balsamic Moon phase is technically the last Moon phase before the New Moon, and so it is out bringing forward what has been positive over the past month and releasing what has been less so. A lot transpired over the past lunar month, not the least of which was the end of the the Mayan Calendar. The month was heavily dominated by Chiron, the planet that rules healing of pain. The last vestiges of this theme will play out through Thursday. Balsamic Moon phases are really about preparing for the future - for looking ahead. It is the time when we regroup and envision where we want to go and what we want things to be like. Today's energy is specifically related to overcoming an obstacle in your personal life or in your work life. Something needs to be left behind. We are given many days like this every month, but this one is especially powerful because of the astrology and the proximity to the New Moon/Solar Eclipse on Friday. On Friday, the Sun will take away whatever we put out to be released over the next four days. This energy is alchemical - it will take what is at the heart of something and transform it into something better. (Note: I hope to have the margins on this page fixed today so that the end of the sentences are not cut off. Thank you for your patience as the web host overcomes the obstacle.)

Saturday, November 19 - Sunday, November 20, 2011

Saturday is a bit noisy. The energy prompts us to want to be heard. This will cause some people to be demanding or overbearing. Everyone wants to be taken seriously under this energy, so don't gloss over anyone's feelings if they are expressing them to you. Being a sounding board for someone just may give them the second chance they've been seeking.

Sunday may necessitate an adjustment of expectations. The energy presses on feelings of failure or feelings like we have let ourselves down in some way. If you feel like you are right back where you started or are going around and around without getting anywhere, this is part of the harmonics that the planets are delivering today to change our perspective. Perhaps it is time to leap off the merry-go-round.

Friday, November 18, 2011

The energy quiets a bit today, giving us an opportunity to rest, regroup, and acclimate. Settle down and try to relax from your worries. Today is a day to practice the understanding of what it means to "let it be." During Third Quarter Moon phases, we revise and realign - things shift for us. But today we need to step back and take a breather before that can happen. In essence, today is a "day off." Things will go much more smoothly this weekend and the beginning of next week if we do this today.

Thursday, November 17, 2011

Today requires x-ray vision. Things are not what they first appear to be. That sounds very hard to grasp, but today's energy is a deluge that carries tension and brings things to the breaking point. People are very nervous. Underneath all of this is the fear of survival, the feeling of being alone, and/or anger at having to handling things because we think others are unable or incapable. We may feel like we have no influence over what is being unleashed. Stay cool and use x-ray vision to realize that people are reacting to strong undercurrents that are not visible on the surface. The positive side of this is the potential for brilliant flashes of inspiration and penetrating insight.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

Sometimes the veils between this world and the world of Spirit are quite thin. This usually happens during Balsamic phases of the Moon, but it is happening today. Angels are close to the ground today. This means that guidance and protection are right next to us. If, throughout the events of your day, you feel the need for assistance or direction, go to a point of stillness inside and ask for what you need. Turn over your worries. Just because the Sun is no longer directing the course of the evolution of consciousness does not mean we are alone. It may feel like that now that the Mayan calendar has ended, but it is only a change of reference. There are eight active sunspots on the Sun right now and an immense string of plasma erupted yesterday, headed for Venus. These electromagnetic solar waves affect everything in the system. Venus (love, relationships), Mercury (communication and information), the North Node (destiny), and the asteroid Cupido (Cupid, with his arrow of love) are all hanging out together in the same place in the sky. As this solar wave makes its way around, events in our lives will center around these things. Also, there is strong power to sway feelings today, so it is an especially good day to make a statement or plead your case, but we need to use the highest integrity and discernment with what we present and with what is being presented to us.

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

We have several things happening today. Mercury (messages, communication, information) and the North Node (destiny) come together in the sky and in so doing, come to our aid. Disseminating Moon Phases always bring us important information, as well. Take whichever of these points speaks to you today:

1) We have the opportunity to see where we have a hidden talent or remember something that has been dormant inside of us. Something comes back to life today because the energy is helping us understand where we feel neutered, neutralized, or ineffective and then remedy it.

2) We find ourselves asking Is it worth it? What is and isn't useful? Are you settling for scraps? Are you boxed in? Are you focusing on things that have no lasting value or that are no longer relevant? Listen for an inner voice to answer these questions. If you don't hear an answer, listen to what is happening around you - what others are saying (at work, in line at the store, on TV, etc.).

3) The theme of dependence v. independence is strong. If we are looking to others to nourish us or give us what we need, we are missing our chance to be creative and independent - which truly nourishes us. While trying to please a specific need, are we diminishing our essential worth?

Monday, November 14, 2011

Today is not the day to go out on a limb in any way. If you "put yourself out there" you will likely be bombarded from many fronts and have to defend yourself. So save your ideas for another day. In the aftermath of the end of the Mayan Calendar, life is different. Although we are no longer experiencing the acceleration of time and the compression of events, things are strange because everything is changing. We are changing. The Moon opposes Pluto today (which it does for one day each month). When the Moon opposes Pluto, it also brings up emotions that are trying to prompt us to transform something about ourselves and our lives. But this time around, it is causing us to fear venturing into the changes or fear being on our own. Arguments may ensue. Let's by-pass all of this today and not get mired in the fear. Cancel out the feelings and thoughts by chalking them up to the nature of the energy. Move through the day knowing that everything will manifest in the right time and that we are always cushioned by guides, insight, and wisdom.

Saturday, November 12 - Sunday, November 13, 2011

Saturday is like two curtains being drawn aside, revealing a new perspective, path, or possibility. This energy frees us up for a significant change/opportunity/insight. All of this is happening as the healing energy of Chiron continues (see yesterday's post). Keep in mind that the past no longer matters as much as it used to because being tied to the past (and past "mistakes") is what will block the process today.

On Sunday we could find ourselves in a situation where we have to make some sort of decision, however minor, where the choice may feel like we are going against the norm or status quo, but is right for ourselves and who we really are. The question to ask is what am I actually going up against? The answer may surprise us because most likely we are going against something that we have built to be more powerful than it actually is. Most likely we are going up against something of our own making - like the feeling of what we "should" do based on some vague, outdated sense of duty or responsibility. The tendency today is toward rebellion, so if you are forcing yourself to do something you really don't want to do, it will probably make you and everyone around you quite unhappy. If you go ahead and do something out of a respect for duty, own it and feel good about it instead of wishing your were doing something else.

The much-anticipated 11:11:11 arrives today. This day has been a topic of discussion for years and years. However, time and dates, especially Gregorian ones, mean little in the post-Mayan Calendar era, which is part of the solution to understanding the extremely complicated nature of today's energy. This report will require a couple of re-reads to understand. There is a tremendous exchange of information today and it is compressed into multiple layers. We are accessing 1) information that the Sun disseminated on October 28, 2011 and 2) information that is being piped in from higher sources. Bottom line: more and more of us will be able to glimpse the fact that past, present, and future do not exist because time (as we knew it then) no longer exists. We will become "enlightened" to the idea, so to speak. The implications of this are staggering, primarily because it empowers us in many ways (that are fast-becoming tangible in our lives). But there is a lot of trash data going right along the side of the good stuff, and we want no parts of that. Fear, aggession, and anxiety are riding shotgun there. Focus on gratitude for the blessings of the world around us "(in nature") and honor of those who heeded the ("inner nature") call to serve. All of this comes from the heart.

The astrology for today is rooted in the themes of Chiron, the planetary energy known as the "Wounded Healer." Chiron also encompasses the energy of teachers, healers, doctors (particularly surgeons), psychotherapists, alternative medicine and alternative practitioners of all types), service to others, sacrifice, self-sabotage, and most importantly for us as a collective, bridges (to higher spiritual awareness).. Chiron stationed direct (appeared to move forward in the sky) yesterday. Mars opposes Chiron today and Jupiter is located at the degree where Chiron was "born" (first sighted) in the sky - 03 to 04 degrees of Taurus. And by the way, it was Chiron who taught the mythic warriors (like Achilles). Today marks healing and building. Something deep inside everyone is coming to light and it is a very good thing.

Today there is a need to clean out some of our old habits and routines that are internal. There is an inner clutter of emotions and left-over beliefs that will restrict what we experience today. We need to air out things. This is an intense Full Moon Phase and things are trying to come to light and out into the open. Full Moon Fever is strong and people are having provocative reactions. It is all happening to clear out the old. The end of the Mayan Calendar was the end of the restrictive effects of time. The past no longer holds the power it did. Remember that on the last day of the calendar, October 28, 2011, we were given everything that we need. It is all inside and ready for us to access it in our own time.

Today is powerful! A surge of feminine energy is reverberating throughout the planet. On the surface, this would seem a wonderful thing, and in many ways it is. Even though most people are not aware of it, they will be responding and reacting to it. The task today is to attach to it in a positive way, and to do that we just need to take a moment to go inside our hearts and say "I wish to attach to the feminine (mother) aspect of the Sourcewave." (Newer readers can find more information on the Sourcewave on the "Articles" page). Do this and mentally picture yourself falling down into a comfy, cushioney sofa with a soft blanket wrapped around you. This is what the Mother energy feels like and it is what will keep us on track today. There is a lot of fear and generalized angst/uneasiness in the air today, tomorrow, and Friday. This is the feminine energy being expressed negatively. It is easier to express it negatively through hautiness. Remember that each of us is blessed with our own unique gifts, but the highest purpose is served when those gifts are combined.

Today there is a proclivity towards looking out for number one. Some will take this to the extreme. Also, as mentioned yesterday, today's energy is more restrictive. Events will specifically relate to showing us our level of self-esteem. Ultimately, we have a choice between happiness and unhappiness today. We will need to be conscious of this. It will become evident if we are sacrificing our own happiness for the sake of providing for another's happiness or needs. In addition, the Law of Attraction is in full force today, and you will draw things (people, information, opportunities, etc.) to you according to your willingness to relate.

Some days it is better to sit back and not take action, but today is not one of them. Today is a day for initiative! The energy can take whatever we have been thinking about (creating in our minds) and bring it into form in the world. Ask yourself what you would move forward with if your heart were open and then act upon that. This is a day for light-heartedness, not seriousness. You will be much more effective (and happier) if you approach the day from the perspective of "brainstorming" and then put the results into action. Wonderful things can be created today, so follow your impulses. Keep in mind that we are, first and foremost, co-creators of our lives. Our lives are our greatest creations. You can take something about yourself that exists as it is and transform it into something else. Tomorrow will feel more restrictive, so take advantage of today's energy.

Saturday, November 5 - Sunday, November 6, 2011

On Saturday, the coronal mass ejection that just hit Mercury will hit Venus. This energy will help us rectify problems we have had regarding communicating our thoughts, ideas or emotions. The lines of communication are trying to be repaired. Overall we are trying to make new connections and new in-roads, but have been challenged by this. In fact, we have had challenges making almost everything work this week. I believe this is because in the post-Mayan Calendar era, the planets are not weaker in their effects, but are actually much, much stronger. More on this as we have some time under our belts to see exactly how things are working now. This weekend is about repairing, settling, and healing things. The answer to whatever we need lies in trying new combinations and alternatives - things we haven't realized or considered. Continue to be on the lookout for synchronicities to point you in the right direction.

An extremely strong coronal mass ejection will hit Mercury today. This powerful wave is expected to blow out the weak atmosphere of Mercury. Here on Earth, communications (telecommunications and interpersonal communications) are facing serious disruptions and eruptions. Keep this in mind and think before you speak today. This will be easier said than done if you are emotionally triggered by something. Mercury and Venus are conjunct right now, so the effects involve Venus issues (love, relationships, comfort, and money). The CME will hit Venus tomorrow. All of this is causing general bad moods, irritability, harsh words, and an overall frenzy. Brace yourself. It is essential to step out of this wave of energy, while at the same time paying attention to the patterns of what you see, hear, and learn - synchronicities. Counter the chaos with strength, steadiness, and an inner sense of peace.
