Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Pisces

 Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East, God of Electromagnetic Fields

Skill: have a hand in something

True Alignments:  connections, all things crystal, living and letting live, solutions and resolutions, peace, healing, learning something, relief, rewards, promises

Catalytsts for Change: seeking the easy way, tempted away, greed, manipulation of or with money, rejected, moving too fast, interfering, neglect

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending what has bound or limited us)

Welcome to a Day of Chiron.

Chiron is the archetypal energy of wounding, healing, and teaching.

Before we get started, let's remember and form an image in our minds of the Sabian symbol for the degree in the sky where Chiron was located when it was discovered:  "the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."  This is called the Chiron Point.

We want to couch the day's discussion of the energies in the framework of this happy image, understanding that Chiron, though happy at its end, undergoes a bit of pain in order to get there. 

As such, Chiron rules the hero's journey.

Working at the highest level, Chiron enables the pain of the journey to eventually become irrelevant because it is understood as necessary to bring the feeling of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. 

Chiron brings the blessings from the hero's journey.

In Greek mythology, Chiron was the Healer of Healers and Teacher of Teachers.  He was a warrior, shaman, doctor, teacher, inventor, alchemist, pharmacist, writer, experimenter, acupuncturist, medicine man, signal and radio operator, seeker, herbalist, farmer, crystal worker, architect, missionary, scientist, surgeon, field surgeon, sometimes recluse, archer, data collector, healer, and builder.  This list is by no means exhaustive because Chiron was a Renaissance Man. 

If it can be done with the hands, Chiron can do it.  The energy can do absolutely anything.  It will study and learn the hard way, but it will master anything to which it sets its mind.  We apply this Lesson of Chiron today.

Today, Venus reaches the degree of "the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" - the Chiron Point.  Venus rules Taurus, and the Chiron Point is 4 Taurus in the zodiac.  So when Venus comes to the Chiron Point, we have "double" Chiron power, so to speak. 

Venus rules relationships, feelings of home, comfort, security, money and finances, pleasure, beauty, attraction, creating, and relating.  When Venus reaches the Chiron Point, wounding or healing or teaching or all of these occur with these themes.  This is the primary dynamic in effect today.

Following the natural energetics of the day, our primary objective today is to "have a hand" in something: to add; do; assist; help; build.

Woven within the Chiron Medicine Bag we carry with us today on our year-long "magic carpet ride," are these other threads:

1-REPAIRING - especially interpersonal communications.  The Earth is located at "telephone linemen at work installing new connections."  When this energetic activated while the planet Mercury is retrograde, as it is now, the energetic is dramatically amplified.  Nothing comes from fretting over the past, but happiness can occur when we fix things.

2- ADMIRING - Today Mercury moves from energy the "Indian warrior riding fiercely, human heads hanging at his belt" to "a jewelry shop filled with the most magnificent jewels."  It's a big switch! The ability to manifest - to have a hand in something - is strong with this frequency.  We gain insight, clarity, and facets.  Talents emerge.  We see beauty.  We crystallize things.

3- CHANGING - Mars remains retrograde at the degree of "deep within the depths of the Earth, new elements are being formed."  This certainly is contributing to all of the geophysical activities we are seeing on Earth. 

(On this subject, the full awakening of Gaia Sophia - the Aeon of Wisdom, A Teacher - is like the teacher coming back to her classroom after a rather inexperienced or poor substitute teacher has been filling in for a while.  The teacher straightens up the class!  And she probably puts them on Silent Lunch for their behavior in her absence - not so much in punishment, but to give time to reflect, understand, and reconnect the need to align with what is right.)

I digress, so to get back to the depth of it, changes are underway deep inside of us and deep inside the Earth.  It causes new experiences, which is one of the things that happens when you take a magic carpet ride.  It's an adventure.

Wise owls understand today that no matter what depth of pain or wounding surfaces, if we follow along, with the notion of adventure, we cross into something golden.

The Golden Age of the Second Renaissance has begun.  We join our hands and build it today.

(Note:  Speaking of Chiron, check out Jon Rappaport's latest article on "Chiron" and his ongoing investigation of this company and vaccine injury.  As usual, the Illuminati, in their naming of things, use their spin on astrology to influence the experience of humanity.  As you read this, I suggest that a higher "layer" of this story is more about the Renaissance Man behind the exposure of this version of Chiron: Jon Rappaport.  He is a demonstration of the true Chiron energy.  Many thanks to wise (Chiron) owl Logan of TrekforTruth.org for forwarding this article.)

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Aquarius

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill: rest/nurture the mind and body

True Alignments: enriched by love, breathing easier, allowing space for internal change, revision of personal values, nurturing self and others, "basking" in something joyful, contentment, inner beauty reflected on the outer, taking a risk when given the signs or go-ahead, creativity

Catalysts for Change:  panicking, stifled, advancing too fast, the need to draw attention to oneself, superficially keeping up appearances, neglecting self, close minded, overcome by the number of responsibilities or a long to-do list, resisting change, spreading fear, anger at people/places/things that bind or restrict

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending issues, adventure)

I always mention that the day a planet stations retrograde or direct is intensive.  The energetics can take their toll on our emotional, mental, and physical bodies.  This happened yesterday with Mercury stationing retrograde at the highly emotionally-charged energetic of "an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging from his belt."

Today, the wisdom of the Sabian symbols today tells us to care for our physical bodies.  The Sun discharges the energetic of "a woman sprinkling flowers."  It's a gentle, nurturing energetic that calls for resting the mind, and thus resting the body.

Further, the Earth is located at "a drowning man is being rescued," which speaks to emotional and physical overwhelm and the need for "resuscitating."

You may feel this way today or someone around you may feel this way.

Deeper study reveals that deeper things are going on with this.  Today, Mars (which is also retrograde and will be until June 30), moves from 9 Sagittarius and "a mother leads her child step by step up the stairs" (rising up, guidance, protection) to 8 Sagittarius and "deep within the depths of the Earth, new elements are being formed" (things emerging from deep inside of us, processes of foundational change).

Things are welling up so that they can be revised, rectified, and realigned.

The tectonics and volcanism of the Earth seem to be responding, as evidenced by dramatically increased activity along the Ring of Fire and other hot spots.

We are symbiotic with the Earth, so anything that is happening with the Earth is happening to us.

We can ease the deep tectonic processes that are in play today by taking it easy.

These things may help us along:

1- Recognize blessings.  Each of us has them, whether they stand out in our awareness or not.

2- Apply simple comforts.  Venus discharges the last degree of Aries today ("a duck pond and its brood") before it moves into the comfort-seeking energetics of Taurus tomorrow.

3- Disengage from limitations.  Mind chatter about what restricts or limits us should be sent away on a metaphorical hot air balloon.

4- Acknowledge needs.  Self-denial is the antithesis of these energetics, and, really, antithetical to life itself.  Reconnect with self-care.  Put yourself back into the equation if you have neglected your basic needs.  Get back to the elements of who you are.

5- Feel the safety that comes with the knowledge that we are couched in the love of Gaia Sophia, who is entirely dedicated to the fulfillment of our happiness and expression.  There is nothing to fear.  All is contained within the soul of Sophia.

Let's honor ourselves and the fellowship of humanity today by taking a deep breath and gliding with the magic carpet ride.  Go outdoors, connect with nature, and find beauty.  Let's sprinkle some flowers on our ride through life today.

Disseminating Moon Phase:  share, communicate

Moon in Capricorn

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire):  Ian, God of the East

Skill:  patience

True Alignments:  service to humanity, messages delivered, compassion, accomplishing a lot, giving, renewed bonds and connections, bringing inner darkness to light, attunement with one's destiny, sharing with like-minded people, fellowship, uplifted

Catalysts for Change: discordant, difficulty changing, fussy, overdoing it, walling off, gloomy, dominating or intimidating, war, feeling undeserving, self-delusion, divide and conquer tactics, frustration, impatience

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year and Month:  "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending)

Mercury stations retrograde today (1:20 pm ET/5:20 pm UT), taking our "magic carpet ride" for the year in a new direction.  This leg of our journey lasts until May 22, 2016, and is like the Sabian symbol for the degree of the retrograde: "an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging at his belt."

The fellowship of humanity claims its sovereignty in new and bold ways during this time.

The territory of our minds is freed with ferocity.

The inner warrior emerges to align with its true path.

The chains of domination are thrown off.

The energetic of the "Indian warrior riding fiercely" is hyper-aggressive.  Conflicts are more likely.  Anger is easily tapped.  Be aware that these things are heightened today.  People may try to "take your head off."  We will ride around these things and transcend them.

The more knowledge we have about the dynamics, the better we are able to transcend them.  To understand the full spectrum of what this Mercury retrograde is trying to re-work, re-do, re-align, and re-vise, we look at the totality of the day's energetics.

Today just happens to enact a special astrological energetic of the Moon making conjunction with Pluto while it makes a square to Uranus and a trine to the North Node.  Let's break it down:

PLUTO - is located at the degree of "the Union Jack flies from a new British warship."  The "Indian warrior" certainly would rail against imperialism.  Pluto is the Planet of Transformation.  What will be the state of The Empire by the time the Indian warrior finishes with it?  The "state" of us will certainly be transformed.  We will be even more empowered.

URANUS - is located at "the gate to the garden of all fulfilled desires."  Ah.  The warrior takes up his will and desire.  She makes honest admissions to herself, confronts her fears, and sets her sights on brighter horizons.  He is ready for surprises.

THE NORTH NODE - is located at "a caravan of cars headed to promised lands."  The North Node represents destiny.  During Mercury's retrograde, we come together with renewed vision.  We line up, one by one, on the Magic Carpet Ride to the Intended Lands.  The course is assured.

To fill out the picture (the ride), today we have the:

SUN - located at "a red cross nurse."  With this, we cross into new territory, often to save ourselves.  This energetic "triages" us if we are in any kind of crisis.  It delivers compassion and care.  It goes wherever it needs to, and does not recognize imposed boundaries.  It brings faith and hope.

EARTH - located at "a fellowship supper reunites old comrades."  We are a tribe of spiritual warriors, uniting in singular mission to free ourselves and our fellow humans to experience life unimpeded.  We are One.

AND, BEAUTIFULLY, VENUS - is located at the Founding Energetic of "the music of the spheres."  Recalibration occurs, especially within relationships and our ideas of home, comfort, security, interconnection, money, pleasure, and creative expression (since Venus is the planet).

What do you think?  Does it sound pretty good to you?

We understand the higher purposes underpinning this Mercury retrograde, and we are wise to remember that:

1- ACCIDENTS ARE MORE COMMON, with the Uranus influence, so we will take extra care today.  (I already accidentally broke a lamp this morning!)  The rate of car accidents increases.  Ride carefully and pay closer attention than usual.

2- HIGHER LEVELS OF ANGER are easily triggered.  We give wide berth.  The outcome of any outbursts serves to free up something.

3- EASY DOES IT to not overdo it.  We can overwork and burn out when the "red cross nurse" energy is activated.

4- INTERPERSONAL AND TELE-COMMUNICATIONS may have issues.  Have patience and let Mercury re-sort things.  Step back and let it do its thing.  Ride out of the way.

5- TRAVEL PLANS may be disrupted.  Again, we practice the skill of patience.

This leg of the magic carpet ride reshapes the future, so we settle in for the journey until May 22.  You may want to notate what is going on in your life, how you feel, what you hope for, and where you would like to be by the time we reach May 22.  We can then review this part of the ride and gain wisdom.

Let's revise or recalibrate our ideas about Mercury retrograde this time.  It is only trying to make things better by setting them straight.  In this way, we are actually very fortunate.  Safe travels today, everyone.

We remain in the solar-lunar month that sets the tone for the entire astrological year.  It is also the month that we want to set goals, make wishes, and visualize dreams for the year.

Disseminating Moon Phases: share, communicate

Moon in Capricorn

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill:  complete or revise things

True Alignments: realizations, improvements to situations, fixing damage, acceptance, release from stress, spreading joy, decorative, finding one's place, self-empowered, knowledge, solutions, inventing ways, prevention, adjusted expectations

Catalysts for Change:  pollution and polluted thoughts, unrealistic, false pretenses, superficial, self-centered, emotional downers, feelings of defeat, against better judgment, dishonor, feeling wiped or wiped out, disappointment and despair (another side will soon become visible), stressors

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending)

Today we prepare ourselves for a powerful Mercury retrograde tomorrow.  Mercury will station retrograde (appear to move backward in the sky) at 1:20 pm ET/8:20 am PT/ 5:20 pm UT.

Mercury will station retrograde at 24 Taurus and the Sabian symbol energetic (frequency of life) of "an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging at his belt."  As I mentioned during my impromptu call on Phoenix Rising Radio last night (posted here at OracleReport.com and at Phoenix's Soundcloud archive at https://soundcloud.com/phoenix-rising-29/laura-walker-of-the-oracle-report-4), the Sabian symbols are not "politically correct." But political correctness is an agenda to control freedom of expression.

Nevertheless, Mercury will be retrograde until May 22, 2016, which also happens to be the day the Black Moon moves into Scorpio.  So May 22 will be an extremely intensive day with strong energetics.

The Sabian symbol or energetic frequency of the Indian warrior riding with scalps is rather graphically violent, but if we delve a little deeper we find a deeper meaning.  Perhaps he is riding with renewed vigor because he has opened up his mind.  Perhaps he has freed himself from the restrictions of his mind, and now they are falling down or hanging at his side.  Perhaps he has removed what holds him back and has fastened all of it into something that sustains or holds up (a "belt").

The Moon will conjunct Pluto (transformation), square Uranus (radical change), and trine the North Node (destiny) at 5:20 am ET/2:20 am PT/9:20 UT, just a few hours before Mercury stations direct.  I will go into this more tomorrow.

Today, the energetics follow these themes:

1- REAL v FAKE - The Sun is discharging the energetic of "a Christmas tree decorated."  The pagan origins of Christmas trees are related to preserving and honoring a part of nature in the coldest of times.  This symbol has a polarity of pretense (and things being just for show) and the real joys of sharing and celebration.  What is lasting and what is superficial is evident with this energetic.

2- REPAIRS - The Earth is discharging the dynamic of "a dentist at work."  Repairing damage, reaching a point where action is needed, learning to cope, and the precision or accuracy that enables us to fix something comes with this.  This energetic also features going farther into something.  Does something in your life call for repair?

3- MAKING REALITY OUT OF DREAMS - A special configuration occurs today: Venus makes opposition with the Black Moon.  Venus is like a sister to the Black Moon.  Venus is the only planet that exalts the Black Moon energetic on contact.  Beautiful things happen when Venus and the Black Moon interact.  True loves meet or are reunited.  Rewards are bestowed.  Full light to see the reality of situations is amplified.  Worthy causes come to a new level.

The degrees of the zodiac involved with this aspect are Venus at "a large disappointed audience" and the Black Moon at "a man in deep gloom, unnoticed, angels come to his help."  I have found these two energetics to be emotionally challenging because we keenly feel our perceived failures.  Our hopes or expectations can be dashed and we can go into dark territory in our minds.  The symbols tell us that even in times of darkness (or especially in times of darkness), we are not alone.

The only other "drawback" with the Venus-Black Moon opposition is the proclivity for relationships that no longer serve anyone's highest and best interests to come to an end.  This is always for the best of everyone involved, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. 

But, overall, Venus-Black Moon aspects are quite beneficent for aligning us with what is fulfilling.

Tomorrow is likely to be rather hectic or chaotic with the Mercury stationing retrograde (as is always the case when a planet stations retrograde).  Mercury's retrograde at such a "charged" Sabian symbol energetic may activate conflict and aggression.  Orthodox Good Friday follows the day after and May Day is on its way, so potential for Illuminati hijinks and operations is higher.

Let's take measures today to be able to glide on our magic carpet for the adventure tomorrow.

Disseminating Moon Phase: communicate, share

Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius 7:55 pm ET/11:5 pm UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom):  Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East, God of Electromagnetic Fields

Skill:  make adjustments or improvise; immerse in the present moment; imagine possibilities and believe in them

True Alignments:  recovery, creating a storehouse of energy by resting and letting Spirit direct hings, independence, patience and pacing, expressing talents, connecting with nature, open to messages, reflecting, daydreaming, revitalizing or renewing, a new image, allowing room for things to change

Catalysts for Change:  personal ambition that is so exaggerated that it does not care about others, distractions and attention deficit, forcing things before their time, lack of support, dependence, spending too much energy on "cold" situations, moody, off track, not expressing talents, hopelessness, self pity

Sabian Symbols for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year:  "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending worries, chaos, or difficulties)

The Full Moon phase has passed and the Moon will move out of Scorpio later in the day.  This eases up the intensity of our "magic carpet ride."  We now begin the first Disseminating Moon phase for this year.

Disseminating Moon phase is the most "communicative" time of the lunar cycle.  Following the natural cycles of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, it is the time when we share our thoughts, ideas, and feelings with others so that Spirit can send us messages and information via the information/Source field.  The input, feedback, or suggestions that others provide helps us empower our hopes, wishes, dreams, projects, ideas, and activities.

The information or messages come from all kinds of things, not just from people.  Nature, animal sightings, synchronicities, background "noise," overheard snippets of strangers' conversations, memes, unusual communications -- just about anything -- can convey information that gives clues or validation. 

Wise owls immerse in the present moment and receive.

The "speed" of the energy changes today with the Sun disseminating the Sabian symbol energetic of "a sleigh without snow."  Sometimes things come to a complete stop.  This is ok; in fact, it is a good thing to have just two days before Mercury stations retrograde.  We have time to reflect on the status of things before Mercury re-works them. 

The Earth facilitates this with its dissemination of the Sabian symbol of "the Moon across a lake."  Emotions run toward the placid.  This is a nice relief.

View any "stops" or "pauses" as the Universe improvising situations.  The symbol of the "sleigh without snow" is clear in its mission of rectifying timing.  If we allow space for a higher power to adjust things, we will save ourselves a great deal of headaches and frustration.  Letting go of the reins a little is a good idea today.

When you follow the natural cycles of time, you come to realize that the Moon phases follow a pattern of where we are active one phase and Spirit is active the next.  For example, at the New Moon we are active in setting intentions and putting things in motion.  The next Moon phase, the Crescent phase, is when we step back and persevere as Spirit guides us through challenges with those things.  At the First Quarter phase, we step out and take action.  At Gibbous phase, we step back again, trusting that Spirit is empowering what we are doing.  It is like in-breaths and out-breaths of a collaboration with the Universe.

So at Disseminating Phase, the current Moon phase, it is the Universe's turn.  At the next phase, Third Quarter phase, we will take action to complete things and keep the ball rolling.  Balsamic phase then follows, and higher forces mystically close out the month.

This is The Way.

The main "threads" woven onto our carpet ride today are:

1- MORE THAN WE CAN HOLD - Venus starts the day at the degree of "a man possessed of more gifts than he can hold."  This energetic entered yesterday. It produces overwhelm.  We can start to feel that we cannot "process" anything more.  The Wisdom Goddess Chinnamasta is expanding (blowing) our minds all month long, so she uses this to help us make great strides in consciousness.  Turn things over to her if overwhelm seeps in.  Just stop your "sleigh" and she will refuel it -- and it will be better.  Try it and see.  ("See" the Moon shining across a lake for a reference.)

2- ADJUST OR RE-DO - Sometimes what becomes evident during Disseminating Moon phases is that we need to adjust, re-think, or re-do things.  Remembering that the energetics are adjusting the timing and the unfolding of things will help, keeping us from trying to force them forward.

3- IMAGINATION - At 2:42 pm ET/6:42 pm UT, Venus will move to the degree of "through imagination, a lost opportunity is regained."  This energy brings renewed hope, recovery, and second chances.  The key is to BELIEVE in what is possible.  What do you want to be possible?  Imagine it.

We have three skills to practice today: make adjustments or improvise; immerse in the present moment; imagine possibilities and believe in them.  We can handle that.  The rest is taken care of courtesy of the Disseminating Moon phase and the forces of Spirit.

See you tomorrow, everyone.

P.S. Remember to back up or copy important files today and tomorrow in preparation for Mercury retrograde.

FullMoon Phase: realizations, clarity

Moon in Sagittarius

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Goddess of Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the North

Skill:  see alternate possibilities

True Alignments:  leading the self, recognizing abilities, claiming what is rightful, taking a stand, clearing emotions, going deep, admissions, balancing the emotional with the rational, admiration, respecting others and self, dipping into a subject, rewards

Catalysts for Change: lack of personal depth or awareness, blocked emotions, concessions, lack of respect, shallow, two faced, doing things just for show, violating space, boundaries, borders, or treaties, conflicts, ruthless, using intimidation

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending)

Today we have three primary themes within the energetics:

1- ALTERNATIVES, OPTIONS, and CHOICES - The Moon will make its once-a-month conjunction with Saturn today at 3:47 pm ET/7:47 pm UT at the degree of "seagulls flying around a ship looking for food."  This symbol asks us to survey the scene and ascertain options.  The Wisdom Goddess Chinnamasta works with us today to expand our mind and widen our view of what is possible.  Since Saturn is involved, our "responsibilities" are usually factored in somehow.  With this, we want to aim high and not settle for "scraps."

2- DEPTH and DRAWING UPON DEEP INNER RESOURCES - The Sun is discharging the energetic of "a woman from Samaria comes to draw water from the well," and the Earth is discharging "deep sea divers."  So depth is inherent with each.  We may need to go very deeply inside ourselves to sort our emotions because emotions run deep today.  The answers we need are found through what the inner voice is telling us.

3-CLAIMING PERSONAL POWER - Though its imagery is violent, Mercury is discharging the energetic of "an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging at his belt."  This is a complex symbol that, at heart, implies that we take up our personal power.  This energetic claims its space and defends it.  Aggression and conflict is heightened when this energy is in effect.  Mercury will station retrograde (appear to move backward in the sky) at this degree on Thursday, April 28, 2016 at 1:20 pm ET/5:20 pm UT, so it will be in effect for some time.  Mercury will station direct on May 21, 2016, which also happens to be the day the Black Moon moves in to Scorpio.  Between now and Wednesday, before Mercury goes retrograde, we want to back up or make copies of files or important information.  Mercury retrograde will affect interpersonal communications, telecommunications, travel, and electronics.  Perhaps this Mercury retrograde will help us find our inner warrior, as such a skill is needed to build the Second Renaissance.

Remember that today's energetics run deeply.  Things may be come complicated.  Going outside and connecting with Mother Nature (Gaia Sophia) will help us connect with inner selves so that we can understand things more fully and see alternatives.

(Many thanks to wise owl Lance White for a fabulous fireside chat Saturday night.  What a treat!  The archive of the show is available at the top right of the homepage at OracleReport.com if you missed it.  How nice it was to share an hour "around a fire" and freely discuss current events and spiritual awakening.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.)

Saturday, April 23 - Sunday, April 24, 2016

Full Moon Phase: realizations, clarity

Moon in Scorpio

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill: maintain perspective and balance

True Alignments:  rock solid foundations, sharing a load or responsibility, letting go, seeing beyond the material world, answers and solutions, anti-establishment, bridging the gap, discernment, options, opening up

Catalysts for Change:  chasing the impossible or unworthy, immobilized, wasting time, stifled emotions, staring at losses, stubborn, making things hard, overreliance on luck, the separated mind, putting life on hold, lack of trust, greed

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending)

Sometimes the planetary energies are overwhelming.  This is especially true when planets make conjunction (come to the same location in the sky.  Yesterday, Friday, April 22, the Sun was located at the degree of wounding, healing, and teaching (the Chiron Point), and at 5:12 pm ET/9:12 pm UT Venus made conjunction with Uranus. 

Conjunctions with Uranus are like electrical blow outs of the body and mind.  Since Venus was involved, the blow out included the heart.  Changes in relationships and values, and changes with feelings of comfort/home/security arise when Venus and Uranus come together.  The combination serves to bring us into better alignment with what is best for us.  The conjunction occurred at 22 Aries and the Sabian symbol energetic of "the gate to the garden of all unfulfilled desires."  How's that for a Venus-Uranus conjunction?

For me, this symbol (which is quite familiar to me since it is prominent in my natal chart) conjures the words of Pete Townshend:

"Release yourself from misery.

There's only one thing that can set you free. 

My love."

-Let My Love Open the Door

What does the Sabian symbol of "the gate to the garden of all unfulfilled desires" conjure for you? 

It is a good idea to give it some thought. New beginnings happen when planets make conjunction, and we are in the month of the year that is like a month-long New Moon phase, the time of new beginnings.  We can open the gate to the garden of anything.  What holds us back?

This weekend, we want to keep perspective by understanding that whatever is happening or whatever we are feeling serves to enlighten us -- to help us realize something.  This is the mission of Full Moon phases. 

Full Moon phases that occur in Scorpio can go to the depths of the Underworld to bring us this clarity.

SATURDAY:  Longtime OR readers know that I don't "sugarcoat" the energetics.  That said, Saturday's dynamics could be emotionally challenging.  The Sun discharges the energy of "a widow at an open grave."  The spectrum of grief and loss along with the polarity of abundance and fruition are in focus.

The Earth discharges "a massive rocky shore resist the pounding of the sea."  People, places, things, and feelings can be relentless.  Reality sinks in.  Beyond that, the core of this energetic helps us grow in many ways and to become stronger and more resilient.

Venus asks us to release our burdens as it discharges "a woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable, but veiled, load."  What do we need to put down?

SUNDAY:  The energetics switch to themes of bringing things together.  Separation is bridged.  The Sun discharges "a bridge being built across a gorge."  The biggest gulfs between people can be narrowed.  Ways are found.  "Distance" is shortened.  (This is excellent energy for journeys of the mind [shaman style], as the "bridge" between space and time is malleable.)

The Earth discharges the energetic of "a gold rush tears men away from their native soil."  We can easily chase a temptation, but the "gold" of this symbol is the recognition of what we truly value and desire.  Lately, I often talk about the multi-level assault on our will and willpower -- the inner Sacred Masculine in each of us.  This dynamic seeks to heal that.  Human beings like a "rush" because it engages a feeling of wonder and floods the imagination.  Our curiosity and sense of adventure stirs.  We feel alive. 

Wise owls do not seek the easy.  We seek the real.  When this energetic is taken out of a base level of chasing temptation to a higher level of aligning with cosmic destiny, humanity flourishes.  We bloom.

With this, Venus discharges "an open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia."  This energetic also stirs our curiosity and sense of adventure.  It "takes" us to new places.  Opportunities and possibilities suddenly open. Refreshment occurs.  We find air.

Remember, since energy unfolds in waves, the big Venus-Uranus conjunction from Friday will still be in effect through the weekend. 

I close with another reminder that this weekend, we want to keep perspective by understanding that whatever is happening or whatever we are feeling serves to enlighten us -- to help us realize something.  This is the mission of Full Moon phases.

Tonight, Saturday, April 23, I will join Andrew on "A Fireside Chat with Zany Mystic" at 10:00 pm ET/7:00 pm PT) on BBS Radio.  I hope you join us by the fire.

And, with great sadness, I have looked at Prince's chart.  At the time of his death, the transiting Black Moon had moved into is 12th house and was beginning the month-long transit to his North Node (destiny).  He had a natal North Node/Neptune conjunction, with his Neptune at the Chiron Point.  His destiny was to wound (the new world order, through "outing" their systems), heal (us, through his music), and teach (everyone, through his brilliance).  I believe Prince always knew he would become a martyr.  He will.  His life and death will further the Spirit of Liberty - the most important thing to him.

"Goodbye sweet Prince. Pure, certified genius at the highest level. Too soon."

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, dream

Moon in Libra/Scorpio 8:19 pm ET

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill: take a higher view of situations and see what can be made

True Alignments:  rewards for effort, peaceful, shared history, similar values, hopeful, expanded vision, rising above, non-judgmental, prepared to defend, gradual realizations, knowing when to back off or back down, assertiveness, aligned with a mission, following intuition

Catalysts for Change:  uncooperative, resistant, seeking easy ways out, lazy, seeking the approval of others to one's own detriment, judgmental, cold and lifeless situations, aggression, dominating others, confusion, not following intuition, draining away one's energy, inconsolable

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending limits, difficulties, chaos, etc.)

Today we have a relatively rare combination of astrological influences with the Moon, Venus, the Black Moon and, by proxy, Eris.

Archetypally, these are all the "feminine" energies of the skies.

The Moon makes conjunction with the Black Moon, as it does one time each month, today at 1:32 pm ET/4:32 pm UT.  This occurs at 27 Libra and the energetic of "an airplane sails high in the clear sky."  This frequency of energy wants to help us see a broader view, have a wider realization, come to a place of objective observation, and overcome anything that is dragging us down.  Clarity is the aim.  The Moon illuminates and the Black Moon's ultimate goal is enlightenment.  Clearer ways forward and clearer understanding of who we really are are given.

Venus moves to 21 Aries, the Eris Point (the location of Eris when it was discovered and favored degree for Illuminati ritual) at 5:52 pm ET/9:52 pm UT.  The Sabian symbol for 21 Aries is "a boxer entering the ring." 

When Venus, Eris, the Moon, and the Black Moon "come together" in any fashion, the energy is all about relationships, even the relationship we have with ourselves.  Emotions can run high.  Sparks can fly.  Things can get out of hand.  Moods can swing.  Freedom from the superficial is sought.  Shadow sides (core fears) can show out.  Reactions can be swift.  Things can come out of our mouths before we know it.  We can take things to task.

The combination of the Sabian symbols "an airplane sails high in the clear sky" and "a boxer entering the ring" tells us to temper ourselves, to rise above potential conflicts and see the bigger view.  They tell us to take the high road -- to sail high, to be better than we were.

Echoing the theme is Mercury the Messenger sailing through the sky at the degree of "a white dove FLYING OVER troubled waters."  This energy guides us safely.

Yet there is more.  The Sun is discharging the energetic of "steps UP to a lawn blooming with clover," telling us that fulfillment and harmony of certain things are close by.   Efforts to keep going will be rewarded.  A larger vision or understanding will emerge when we take the higher perspective.

Adding to the "rise" of energies, the Earth is discharging the degree of "neighbors help in a house-RAISING party in a small village."  This energetic favors cooperation.  The Resonance Principle of "like attracts like; disalike repels disalike" is strongly in effect to bring like-minded people together.  Feelings and ideas of "home" come strongly with this energetic.  How can we help ourselves raise our inner home?

All signs indicate a clear message, even on a day when murky shadows daunt: take a higher view of situations and see what can be made.  Could that be a bigger and better dream?

(Note:  Let's ally and align ourselves consciously with Gaia Sophia today and tomorrow.  Today is Earth Day Eve -- Earth Day being the day the Illuminati chose for "honoring" Sophia, which in their inverse reality is actually about dishonoring her.  Today is also queenie's birthday.  With the combination of the Moon, the Black Moon, Venus, and the Eris Point, today is an Illuminati ritualistic heyday.  A false flag event is possible, but this energy plays better behind the shadows and behind the scenes, so what we are not seeing is really the crux of it.  It is not so hard to pull back the curtain, though.  The American Pharaoh himself  has been paying tribute to the King and then sets about to change the faces on US treasury notes..  Anything that the new world order players do today is a ritual performance.  We see beyond it.  We stand with Sophia and Second Renaissance.)

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, dream

Moon in Libra

Skill: take a closer look; what is true and real

True Alignments: elevated views or perspectives, intentions, in awe of nature, seeing the clues, brilliance, creations of beauty, opening up, alternate possibilities, tradition, desire, regaining a sense of control, inventiveness

Catalysts for Change: following the rules when they no longer apply, desire to escape, lost in a flight of fancy when the facts do not match up, afraid to act, being lured or seduced, denying self, not open to receiving, premature disclosure, power struggles

Our year-long adventure of the "magic carpet ride" offers us new scenery and unique views today. 

Venus moves to and re-activates the energy of the New Moon in Aries, 19 Aries and the Sabian symbol of "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery." This energetic is about transcending. 

Today, the magic carpet ride has a few things to show:

1- ERUPTIONS and BREAKING POINTS:  The Earth is discharging the energetic of "a broken bottle and spilled perfume." This brings the potential for things that have been building up to come to a point of release. It can be hard to concentrate when this degree of the zodiac is activated. Sometimes things have to break and spill out before we understand what we had. Feelings of loss can come up. It's what happens after things are released (the aftermath) that is important. We want to handle it with care. 

The Sun is discharging the energetic of "an electrical storm," which tends to also bring tensions and breaking points. Things happen quickly - like lightning being unleashed. 

2- APPEARANCES: Something just may not seem right or seem as it first appeared to us. This energeticoccurs with the Sun at "an electrical storm" in combination with Mercury at "a moving finger points to significant passages I a book." We are directed to go back and see what we missed. What is truly valuable and important? 

Saturn helps us see what is truly valuable and important as it discharges the energetic of "sea gulls flying around a ship looking for food." What is fake and what is real? What is just scraps and what just needs to be scrapped?

3- ADMISSION: Uranus moves to the 22 degree of Libra and the energetic of "the gate to the garden of unfulfilled desires." What do we want? We have to admit it before we can have it. We step up to the gate and open it. The gate (what we desire) is there, but do we feel worthy enough to open it? This energetic will be in effect until May 7, the day of the New Moon in Taurus, so the theme will evolve until then. Let's aim to cross the gateway to our unfulfilled desires and then fulfill them.

Flashes of inspiration and insight come like lightning on our magic carpet ride today. Much is revealed to us, all for the cause of transcending what limits us. We will rise above and ride over any storms or broken glass.

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, dream

Moon in Libra

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill: be like a wise owl in a tree - step back and observe 

True Alignments: periodically stopping to rest, assured, revitalization, connections, having a goal, ancestry and traditions, performing routines with reverence, peaceful environments, curious, adventurous 

Catalysts for Change: gullible, mired in complexity, false sense of security, pushing oneself or others too hard, not getting involved in something that is calling for you to become involved, smug, unable to see the wisdom inherent, erratic, unsure

Today we are wise to practice the skill of the owl in the tree: step back and observe. When we do, clarity and a sense of direction will begin to flow. 

The Sun moves out of Aries today and into Taurus. This is welcome news for those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra because the Sun will no longer be in the sign opposite the Black Moon (the Black Moon deals with opposites and polarities).

The "speed" of things slows down a bit. It can feel like a hard stop or a snap backward. Compared to the Sun in Aries, the Sun in Taurus can feel so slow as to be stuck. It's fixed, earthy energy.  Taurus is ruled by Venus, which seeks comfort, pleasure, and ease. Decisions and actions are often motivated from
these things. 

As the energy shifts from fiery Aries to earthy Taurus, the Sabian symbols for the Earth and Venus are what offer today's wisdom of being like an owl up in a tree:

EARTH: "a sight-seeing bus filled with tourists" (watch, observe, learn about, and/or acclimate to new  situations, conditions, developments)

VENUS: "an empty hammock" (taking rests or pauses when needed, rebuilding strength, seeing where we have sacrificed ourselves, seeing where we are hard on ourselves)

The Sun is discharging the energetic of the Sabian symbol of "a clear mountain stream." Clarity, guidance, and a sense of direction are "streamed" to us. 

Thus, it is best to step out of the course of events and observe them if any confusion, complication, complexity, and conflict arises.

Adding to the "streaming" of spiritual assistance and guidance is Mercury at "wisps of clouds, like wings, are STREAMING across the sky," and then later discharging "a moving finger points to significant passages in a book."  All we need do is follow along. 

There is one other element in play today. The Moon moves into Libra, joining the Black Moon in that sign over the next couple of days for "Black Moon Days."  This is the third to the last of the 18 stages of rebirth/rectification that has been unfolding for those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra since August 24, 2015. Almost there. Light fully returns for these wise owls around May 22.

For everyone, the next couple of days bring out shadow sides. We tend to project our feelings onto others. The inner rebel is stirred, and we desire freedom from restrictions. Caution is often thrown to the wind. Again, we want to step back and observe (like an owl in a tree) before we engage a course of action. Doing so, we will have a clearer sense of direction. 

Today streams clear guidance and strong assistance as surely as "a clear mountain stream." We are ready!

(Many thanks to everyone for sending the beautiful photographs of nature. They are "souvenirs" we have picked up on our journey on the "sight-seeing bus filled with tourists."  I often go far back into the cache for photos, so you never know when yours may show up. 

Also a note on Mars retrograde: Mars retrograde brings situations from the past back for review, reconsideration, and revision. It's about actions and reactions. The journey of Mars back into the past is underway through June 29/30.  Situations and conditions that happened between March 1-May 20, 2014, the last time Mars stationed retrograde, may return for revision. The same is true for the timeframe of January 4-April 17, 2016. Actions taken during these time are reconsidered. More on this as we follow along.)

 Thank you for supporting The Oracle Report!

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, dream

Moon in Virgo

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill: dream a bigger dream

True Alignments: freedom, the place of inner peace and knowing, comfort and security, new beginnings and potential, taking a risk in life, the feeling of home,  seeing the truth behind the image, the power of love, extra boost, signs, unrestricted, philosophical

Catalysts for Change: continual seeking on the outside, feelings of not belonging, narrow-minded, judgmental, stuck, immersed in presenting a certain image, afraid to take a risk in life, jealousy (especially of younger people), isolated, over analytical, self denial, restricted, too many responsibilities

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending)

A flash of light illuminates our magic carpet ride!

The Sun released a powerful M6.7-class flare with CME at 00:29 am UT (Sunday at 8:29 pm ET). The energetic of the Sabian symbol of "a powerful statesman overcomes a state of political hysteria." This dynamic brings increased ability to access and use our personal power to turn a situation around or surmount something. 

The negative polarity of this energy is using charisma or personal power to manipulate for personal advantage. 

People, places, and things that are aligned with integrity will be empowered by the energy of the CME as it is discharged over the next couple of days. 

It has been a long time since we have had a flare of this magnitude- September 28, 2015. This was two days after the Sun-Black Moon conjunction. 

The current flare comes three days after the Sun-Black Moon opposition. Recall from last Thursday's report that I mentioned the Sun and Black Moon (Black Sun) aspect one day two times per year. The three days before and after the day these bodies aspect carry the energetic. Friday was the day of exact opposition. 

So Sabaoth, the name of the Sun according to the ancient Gnostics, chose the window of time when the energetic of the Sabian symbol of a powerful statesman overcoming a state of hysteria was in effect. Sabaoth drastically amplified this frequency of energy for us. It's an empowerment of humanity. 

The music of the spheres is beautiful, yes?

We shall watch this evolve within the political world (and possibly with continued geological activity), but we will watch it emerge within us. Our "inner Thelete," our willpower and our desire- is being empowered by higher spiritual forces. What do you want to overcome or turn around?

While the Sun is flaring, fiery Mars is stationing retrograde (or appearing to move backward in the sky). Mars stations retrograde at the Sabian symbol of "an Easter sunrise service."

All of this - the Sun-Black Moon opposition, the solar flare, and Mars' retrograde- is juxtaposed toward one thing: rebirth. 

Within ourselves and throughout the world at large, renaissance is occurring.

It's a Spiritual Renaissance. And it is changing life on Earth. 

We are the statespeople who are overcoming a state of hysteria - internally and externally. 

Shadows that remain are being recalled into light.

This brightens our future. 

There is EVERY reason to dream a bigger dream and trust in the Divine during this Gibbous phase of the Moon.  This is the mission of wise owls today.

Saturday, April 16 - Sunday, April 17, 3016

Saturday:  First Quarter Moon Phase: step out of comfort zone; take action

Sunday: Gibbous Moon Phase: trust; dream

Moon in Leo/Virgo Saturday 7:23 pm ET - 11:23 pm UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill: Saturday: adjust expectationsSunday: listen to the inner voice

True Alignments: tuning in, realistic, spiritual intervention, reaching new depths, maintaining sight of the goal, messages from Spirit, sharing stories, bridging or reaching others, re-igniting something, adjustments

Catalysts for Change: feeling defeated or alone (something is trying to shift for you), impatience, underestimating self, expecting too much from others, overreliance on others, insecurities taking over, controlling others,

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending, rising above, innovating)

Oftentimes what develops in my world while I am working on the report is something that is important to know for the day.  That said, the skill for Saturday is to adjust our expectations.  Things may not go as planned or as they usually go.  An obstacle or barrier may come up.  If so, we just go around it.  Endurance and perseverance are part of the energetics.

It may also be helpful to consider what can be learned or witnessed while overcoming the barrier or obstacle.  Every day of this solar-lunar year is like a magic carpet ride -- an adventure in consciousness, a journey.  The ride is not necessarily in a straight line.  If it were, we might miss something important.

The primary themes this weekend are:

1- EXPECTATIONS - The main thing to remember, especially on Saturday, is to adjust expectations -- most likely "lower" them or make them more realistic.  Frustration can easily set in if we are expecting perfection or an easy ride. 

On Saturday, the Sun is discharging the energetic of "a large disappointed audience."  The Earth is discharging the energetic of "a man in deep gloom, unnoticed,  angels come to his help."  These two are always in play together, and it happens for one day two times per year.  The day can be very emotionally heavy.  Feelings of failure and defeat can lure us off. 

2- ENLIGHTENMENT or seeing/understanding something should occur.  On Saturday, Venus is discharging "a serpent coiling near a man and a woman."  Archetypally, serpents represent knowledge, kundalini, and interference (in this case with things happening to "draw off" or "come between" people or love, since Venus is the planet discharging the energetic).

On Saturday, Mercury will come to the degree of the next New Moon, the Taurus New Moon, at "a symbolical battle between swords and torches."  I have mentioned that the Taurus cycle will be rather eventful in the world.  Mercury may provide some enlightenment about what we might expect next month, and the people, places, and things that may be in focus.  What leaves a calling card?

On Sunday, an inner enlightenment seeks us and is found by listening to our inner voice.  The Sun will discharge the energetic of "the music of the spheres," well-known to Oracle Report readers as an energetic that recalibrates, re-tunes, and re-aligns everything.  The Earth will discharge "mankind's vast enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from generation to generation."  We want the real deal, not anything fake when this is in effect.  "Vast" is the keyword.  This energy tends to blow the mind, and we have a Wisdom Goddess on duty this month doing it all month long.

3- EXPERIENCES - On Sunday, Venus discharges the energy of "an Indian weaving a blanket."  Our experiences, thoughts, and actions center around feelings or issues of security.  Heaviness may be experienced, but is happening so that we can clear out or purge something, with Mercury at the degree of "a woman airing an old bag through a sunny window."  Things that have become routine, habitual, or stagnant are trying to change, but this may cause some resistance.  What can we learn from the experience?

See you Monday, everyone, for Mars retrograde.

(P.S. How did you like that Sun-Black Moon opposition with the Grand Trine yesterday?  Did you get a headache?   It was intense.

Please keep sending the photographs of beauty as you come upon them.)

First Quarter Moon Phase: step out, take action

Moon in Leo

Skill: slow and steady; align with what is right

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet (ride) of Oriental imagery" (transcendence)

Today's report is abbreviated, and is focused on the confluence of energies tomorrow, in preparation.

The Moon and the Sun are the catalysts for the astrological aspects that happen tomorrow.  But since energy unfolds in waves, the effects begin to be felt today.  This is primarily due to the Moon having just moved into Leo, and the Moon in Leois what is lighting this fire.

It's a hell of a fire.

1 - GRAND TRINE IN FIRE SIGNS: The astrology of the day (please read past this if "astro-speak" frustrates you; skip to what you need) is ignited with a Grand Trine between the Moon, Mars, Venus, and Saturn.  The Grandbegins Friday at 1:00 am ET/5:00 am UT/8:00 am MSK/2:00 pm AEDT (if I have accounted properly) and continues for 15 hours and 12 minutes, until 4:12 pm ET. 

Grand trines facilitate things happening and things balancing.  Due to the planets involved, the energetic is focused on relationships - romantic relationships and the relationships between power/control dynamics and free/loving dynamics.

The Grand Trine brings one part anger, impulsivity, and aggression; one part concern, kindness, and caring; and one part super-structured, organized, and rigid.  Hold the thought.

2- THE SUN OPPOSES THE BLACK MOON:  There are only two days each year when the Sun aspects the mighty Black Moon (or we might say Black Sun), and Friday is one of them.  (The other occurred on September 26, 2015.)

The Sun will make an opposition (be 180 degrees away from or lined up) with the Black Moon tomorrow, Friday at 8:52 am ET/12:52 pm UT/3:52 pm MSK/Saturday 11:52 am AEDT).

The opposition occurs at the very last arc minute of the degrees involved (on last chance).  The Sun will be at 25 Aries 59 and the Sabian symbol of "through imagination, a lost opportunity is regained."  Hope returns.  The last bits are understood.  A new rendition or interpretation is made.  A new way is seen.  Opposition or obstacle is removed.

The Black Moon will be at "an eagle and a large white dove turning into each other."  This fortifies or bolsters the heart, concentrates an area of metamorphosis, balances temperament, and engages a new dimension.  Look carefully at which birds appear in your life and check your references on the meanings.  (I always recommend Animal Speak by Ted Andrews, and carry the pocket version with me all the time.)

Those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra will feel this strongly.  Those with a lot of fire in their charts (planets in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius) will also.

3- URANUS CONTINUES CONJUNCTION WITH THE ERIS POINT:  And this brings THE UNEXPECTED into the bonfire of today's energetics.  There is no way to predict Uranus.  It is discharging the energetic of "a boxer entering the ring," which causes anger to rise and shadow sides to emerge. 

Alongside, Venus is discharging "a bomb which failed to explode is now safely concealed" on Friday.  More anger.  Tantrums or cathartic releases often ensue.  People's frustrations reach great height.  We want to be mindful of this.

Since the Sun is in Leo, fiery, dramatic shows are high potentials.  Emotions and agendas are in motion.

But, riding over these is Mars, which is trickling out the energetic of "a mother leads her child step by step up the stairs" as it prepares to come to a full-on stop on April 18, when it stations retrograde until June 30.  The Mother, Gaia Sophia, Mother Nature, Our Teacher is using all of the energetics of the planets right now to evolve us - to bring us to another state - to take us another step up.  We are climbing - transcending - what limits us individually and as the fellowship of humanity.

"Slow and steady" and "align with what's right" on the magic carpet ride" of this new astrological year are the keys today and tomorrow.

Where is life going?  Let's engage it from the perspective of an adventure.  We may be quite surprised what we see and learn.

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere, meet challenge

Moon in Gemini

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill:  look for opportunities; see foreshadowing of the future

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcendence)

Greetings, wise owls, from the beauty within the beast that is Washington, DC. The Mahavidyas, the Wisdom Goddesses, sent me on a quick trip East for the beginning of the Magic Carpet Ride of the new year.  I have been under heavy instruction and construction over the past few days and have much to report, but today's Oracle Report is abbreviated due to my "field trip."  This report is written in my phone and emailed to Andrew for posting, so here is the short of it:

Three main themes today:

OPPORTUNITIES will "blow" in, and we need to recognize their potential, even if they are out of the ordinary, especially so, even.  These things will be related to things that will provide long term benefit.  

THE FUTURE is foreshadowed today, meaning things that develop (ideas, projects, feelings, events, insights - anything) give us a glimmer of the future. 

BALANCE is key. Things that are going on are showing how, where, what, and when to balance. 

Two other things:

1- Uranus makes exact conjunction with the Eris Point today. Let freedom, truth, and rebirth ring! 

2- FYI- Neptune (spirituality) has moved to the 12th degree of Pisces - "an examination of initiates in the sanctuary of an occult brotherhood." Things come up to a new level with this one. It will be in place for a while.  My own "exam" has thus far been quite enlightening, as I am sure yours will be. 

And a few notes: 

1- Per a request for a fact check, to clarify, the new year as followed here is calculated by the natural cycles of the Sun and Moon. The new year begins at the time and date when the Sun and Moon make exact conjunction in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. 

2- Due to the number of requests for readings, it is taking more time to reply. Please stand by. 

3- Several readers have asked about Part 2 of the article of the Magic Carpet Ride. Well, the instruction I needed for that concludes today, so again please stand by. Much is in process and it takes the assistance of the Wisdom Goddess Shodashi (a multi tasker extraordinaire) to direct it all. 

See everyone tomorrow. Much love from the field.

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere, challenge

Moon in Gemini

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East, God of Fields of Energy

Skill:  lighten up; seeing ahead

True Alignments:  talents revealed, focused, sharing, unveiled or revealed, adaptable, self-care and self-approval, things that hold meaning, balanced or level, motivated, finding simple joy in life, beginnings, opportunities presented

Catalysts for Change:  superficial, overburdened, insincere, stopping the flow of emotions, cover ups, overblown sense of ego self, "blowing one's own horn" (self-aggrandizement), unmotivated, gloomy outlook, murky or blurry, doing too much, destabilization, difficulty adapting

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcendence)

What does today herald?

By day's end, we may find that a transition from something from a "lower," "base," or "old paradigm" method, belief, feelings, or experience comes to a "higher," "evolved," or "Second Renaissance" way.

Today we see all types of transformations, in our own lives and in the world at large.

The Earth is located at the degree of the Sabian symbol "a rooster's voice heralds the rising Sun with exuberant tones." 

What rises today? 

What is there to sing about?

What holds promise or potential?

What brings depth and richness?

As for the "exuberant tones" of the other Sabian symbols in effect today, we have help from:

THE SUN - at "a woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable, but veiled, load" (softly and gently releasing responsibilities that burden or weigh us down, especially things that others cannot see or do not know)

VENUS - at "a woman's hat with streamers blown by the East wind." Are the streamers to this woman's hat pastel colors?  Has she released a burden and "lightened up" to a pastel color?  Is a new or fresh experience blowing her mind?  What is coming in on the wind?  These questions apply, always, individually and collectively.  The Wisdom Goddess Chinnamasta specializes in blowing things wide open.  The God of Will Ian "rules" the direction of the East.  The energetics underpinning this Sabian symbol are quite powerful today.

MERCURY - is at "a red cross nurse" and then moves to "a woman sprinkling flowers."  Messages of hope, inspiration, guidance, assistance, grace, care, and compassion are delivered to us.  These energetics swoop in if there is any type of personal crisis happening.  With the Sun still close to (but moving off of) Uranus, the "fast" and "strange" (surreal and even bizarre) flavor that we've had in effect since Friday continues today.  Healing of pain and/or darkness comes when these two Sabian symbols (frequencies) are activated

MARS - remains at "a mother leads her child step by step up the stairs," giving us an extra boost (assistance and guidance).  Gaia Sophia is walking with us as we set our intentions, goals, wishes, hopes, and dreams for the new year.  (The astrological or natural new year began on April 7, 2016.) All month long we hold our minds upward, toward that which we want to reach or experience.  The mindset and beliefs we hold about the world now determine in large measure the nature of our experiences over the next year.

4:37 am ET/8:37 am UT - The Moon will make an opposition or come to a 180 degree away point with Saturn.  The Sabian symbol for the degree of the Moon at the time of the conjunction is 17 Gemini, "the head of a robust youth turns into that of a mature thinker."  Again we have a theme of "transformation" repeating (with the Sun at a rooster heralding the dawn of a new day).  Saturn definitely tries to enforce a certain amount of maturity and level-headedness.  Also, we remember that Saturn is still discharging the energetic of "an Easter sunrise service," - which is archetypally associated with the natural cycle of death and rebirth or degeneration and regeneration, depending on how you prefer to see it.  This astrological dynamic will be in effect for several hours after the exact opposition.  It causes us to "get real" with things.  It also challenges us not to beat ourselves up.  Moon-Saturn aspects can do a number on our emotions, tempting us to feel that we do not measure up somehow.  It exaggerates perceived failures, weaknesses, and flaws.  We take ourselves to task.  The Sabian symbol energetic advises us to think differently - to take a broader, more mature view.  This perspective is one that understands that life is an ongoing process -- one in which we evolve or grow. What would you need to think or believe to see your "failures," "weaknesses," and "flaws" as part of a growth process?  Could you view it from the standpoint of a painter at a canvas creatinga vision?  The canvas is not complete.  It is still being painted.  It is still becoming.  We are still becoming.  It is really just the beginning.

What does this day herald for you, wise rooster?  What is becoming?  What is transforming?

Friday, April 8 - Saturday, April 9, 2016

New Moon Phase: begin, intend

Moon in Taurus

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East, God of Energy Fields

Skill:  think before reacting; expect the unexpected

True Alignments:  no pressure, backing off when needed, true path, asserting, skills, thinking outside of the box, release, gaining ground, justice, self-defense, the awe of nature, surreal, romance, realizations, breaking illusions

Catalysts for Change:  restrictions and controls, power struggles, jealousy, wasting something, loss (particularly lost opportunities), domination, secrets, tricks with banking, false flags, avoidance, cutting off, undignified, hash judgment of self or others, giving up, fights/arguments/conflicts

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcendence)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcendence)

Heavy-hitting energetics continue during this New Moon phase, and want to be aware of them.  I am combining Friday and Saturday's reports for the full breadth and scope (and so you don't miss it if you tend to skip reading on the weekends).

On Saturday, the Sun moves to 21 Aries, the Eris Point -- the degree where the planet was located when it was discovered.  Longtime readers of OR remember that the Sabian symbol for this degree is "a boxer entering a ring."  The Sun is conjunct Uranus with this, so the effects will begin to be felt today.

The "inner rebel" in us comes out when the Sun reaches the Eris Point.  We tend to want to throw off restrictions, limitations, anything that or anyone who wants to control us, and things that we feel are unjust.  Hair-trigger reactions are common.  All kinds of things - words, fists, rules - fly.

The highest octave or highest expression of the energetic is rebirth or resurrection.  Is something trying to be reborn or resurrected for you?

The Sun will conjunct Uranus at the Eris Point Saturday at 7:06 pm ET/Sunday 11:06 am UT.  Since Uranus is in  play, it brings its specialties of surprises, shocks, and sudden changes.  The rate of accidents increases when planets aspect Uranus, so don't take unnecessary risks or chances.  Double check electrical devices and candles or fires.  Drive with care.

Uranus rules electricity and it feels like "lightning" in the body.  Levels of anxiety increase.  Uranus rules all things "weird" or "eccentric" so these days may have this quality.  Uranus will bend things and twist them up in order to affect changes that put us in alignment with our proper course.  Uranus puts things right.  My teacher always says, "Uranus saves us by our rejections."  It ALWAYS has our highest and best interests in mind.  Sometimes it takes some time for the "silver lining" of things to show up.  But they always do.

Uranus is predictable only in its unpredictability.  So there is only so much we can foresee.  Uranus has its own ideas.

There is a second potent dynamic in effect also: The Moon makes conjunction with Mercury close to the Chiron Point (degree of wounding, healing, and teaching) on Friday (exact conjunction at 9:41 am ET/2:41 pm UT).  The conjunction occurs one degree off of the Chiron Point at the degree of "a widow at an open grave." 

The Chiron energetic naturally addresses pain.  The degree of "a widow at an open grave" often brings up exceptionally deep pain - an "open wound.".  We can feel a "void" inside, which tends to make us seek in-filling (something that will fill the void).  Issues with grief or loss are felt sharply.  Ultimately, this energy seeks to remove something that hinders us.

We see that the activation of the Eris Point to throw off restrictions is much like the Moon-Mercury conjunction near the Chiron Point activating the removal of "blocks" (things that are blocking our growth).

Still, it's a lot of strong energy.

Relationship issues are highlighted with all of this.  Eris rules love that is true, not superficial.  On Friday, Venus, the planet traditionally associated with love and romance, discharges the energetic of "two lovers strolling through a secluded walk."  Sore spots in relationships surface, but so do bright and happy spots.

When the Eris Point is activated, we always keep our eyes wide open.  Since we know there could be some things coming from left field, we are not totally blindsided.

The magic carpet ride of this year is starting off with a punch.  What will it bring us these two days?

Thursday, April7, 2016 - Astrological New Year's Day

New Moon Phase: set intentions and make wishes for the new year

Moon in Aries

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East

Skill: rise above fear; recognize the good

True Alignments: unifying something, committed to or in alignment with what is right, paying attention, lucky, weaving or creating something beautiful, high ideals, insight and understanding of something crucial to our development, self-defense, honor, taking the high road, freedom

Catalysts for Change:  narrow or closed minded, aggression, lack of attention, tricks, inflicting fear, taking over, control issues, road rage, not playing nicely with others, religious persecution, weaving a false story, stealing, backward, fiery emotions, impatient, overly competitive, unable to see one's blessings

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcendence)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcendence)

Happy New Year!

Are you ready for an adventure?  The year-long "magic carpet ride" begins today, and where it goes, well, we DO know, because we know the Code of Life -- the Sabian symbols.

Let your mind glide over these currents and see how you feel.  These are the locations of the planets at the time of the New Moon, which means they are the primary archetypal energetics that will be in effect for the next year:

SUN: "magic carpet of Oriental imagery"

EARTH: "a gang of robbers in hiding"

MERCURY: "steps up to a lawn blooming with clover"

VENUS: " a cameo profile of a man in the outline of his country"

MARS: "a mother leads her child step by step up the stairs"

JUPITER: "a fine lace ornamental handkerchief"

SATURN: "an Easter sunrise service"

CHIRON: "a materializing medium conducting a séance"

URANUS: "a boxer entering the ring"

NEPTUNE: "men travelling a narrow path seeking illumination"

PLUTO: "the Union Jack flied over a new British warship"

ERIS: "a woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable, but veiled, load"

BLACK MOON: "an eagle and a large white dove turning into each other"

NORTH NODE:  "a girl's basketball team"

That's quite a tapestry of a magic carpet!

Before I give my analysis, it is a good idea for everyone to contemplate these symbols for themselves.  The symbols have personal messages and meanings for each of us, so you can think of them as "ink blots" (Rorschach Tests) that provide insight.  How does each of these symbols relate to your life? 

Over the next few days of the New Moon phase, consider how these symbols can fit into your future (how they fit on the "table set for an evening meal" that we prepared last month).

Also over the next few days of the New Moon phase, some method or ceremony to set ("seed") your intentions, goals, wishes, and dreams for the next year should be undertaken.  This makes the intangible tangible.  Make it real or concrete by writing it down, speaking it aloud, or representing it in some way (creative ways are best, like a Wish Board or collage, etc.)

We engage our inner sacred masculine, our WILL, when we do this.

There is an extraordinary amount of Aries energy in effect right now.  Shadow sides and fear are strong because it is a Black Moon Day (day when the Moon is in the same or opposite sign as the Black Moon - in this case the opposite).  Shadows will be brought to light this year.  A great healing will occur.

Aries energy is impulsive, provides new beginnings, initiates things, has ideas, gets very fired up, moves fast, and tends toward anger.  The sign is ruled by Mars.  Emotions are volatile right now, and people are responding a bit wildly.

We will take to our magic carpets and rise above the chaos, as we will do each day over the next year.

We ARE ready for an adventure, because it is going to be a good thing for humanity.  We are stepping up the ride of the Second Renaissance.

(A couple of notes: Computer issues prevented me from recording yesterday, but this is being corrected.

And a note about Planet X/Ninth Planet, Nibiru or whatever you want to call it:  Again I say, why now?  Why "announce" so much information about it now?  The answer is plain and simple.  Timing this announcement with the New Moon in Aries is the Illuminati setting an INTENTION or trying to MAKE IT REAL.  I posit that, based on the timing of dissemination of information, that PLANET X IS A PROPOGANDA AGENDA OF FEAR. It is likely nothing more than a husk of rock.  But the Illuminati are certainly trying to make it something more.  Don't fall for the fear.  Don't fall for their ride.  The planet is not doomed.  In fact, the planet is just getting started.  And we are, too, along with her.  They would not tell us the truth about the real Planet X.)

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, envision

Moon in Aries

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Kamala, Goddess of Desire, Goddess Who Leaves No One Behind

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Seth, God of the North, God of Enlightenment

Skill: detach; rest; release; prepare for the new

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a table set for an evening meal"

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres"

This last day of the astrological year's report is abbreviated, as I have a special audio message that I will post later today.  This recording is not the New Moon in Aries Overview, but some things that I want to discuss before this year ends.

As the last day of the natural year (the year as counted by the cycles of the Sun and Moon), it is truly New Year's Eve.  A new alignment with the Earth and new energetics for the upcoming year starts tomorrow.

On "New Year's Eve" today, the Sun is located at the degree of "an empty hammock."  This symbol is about resting, not pushing yourself, and withdrawing to some degree.  The energy tries to show us where we push ourselves too hard.  Aspects with Saturn today facilitate this.

At 3:52 pm ET/7:52 pm UT, the Moon will trine Mars and the Black Moon will move to the 26th degree of Libra.  Venus has moved into Aries and Mercury has moved into Taurus.  The combination, as you may have noticed yesterday, brings anger right out in front.  Volatile emotions and mood swings come with this.  The shift in the years comes at a time when people's emotions are shifting wildly.

However, 26 Libra is "an eagle and a white dove turning into each other."  Transition to a unified, balanced, whole way will occur throughout the next year, since this energy is in effect with the New Moon in Aries tomorrow.  This is most auspicious.

The Sun is only three degrees away from Uranus, which increases anxiety, insomnia, and sudden changes.  Uranus rules electricity, and today Mercury is discharging the Sabian symbol energetic of "an electrical storm."  Stormy, charged emotions swirl.

This is the overall "climate" for today, so we will keep in mind the general dynamics, but couched in the greater understanding that a shift from the past to the future is underway.  The last day of the year is special - magical, even.  It's a time of reflection and contemplation.  We linger in the "nether region," poised at a precipice.

It is a day to glide.

We, as the attendants to wisdom will never forget The Year of the Music of the Spheres, the great shift in the ages.

The parliament of wise owls stands in awe and appreciation.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Pisces

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Seth, God of the North, God of Enlightenment

Skill: widen your spiritual "bandwidth" (expand your perception of the light; look at the bigger picture); surrender and release to a higher power

True Alignments: recognizing what is temporary, many potential outcomes revealed, seeing the spectrum, adjustable, holding a vision, the inner child, repairing, multi-tasking, back to basics, figuring something out, bountiful, open to options

Catalysts for Change: wiped out, cracking up, breaking down, resistance to change, difficulties coping, behind the scenes or shrouded, maladjusted, delusions, over-analysis, stormy emotions, shattering, need for repairs, locked into specific boundaries or parameters and unable to see beyond or see other ways, mischief or misbehavior

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a table set for an evening meal" (setting things up for the future)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (the year of the recalibration of human consciousness; the year of shift April 18, 2015 - April 6, 2016)

The dreamy, etheric energetics of Balsamic Moon Phase prepare to close out this solar-lunar year, getting us ready for a new year.

The final three days of the astrological year are the most mystical of the entire year.  The "veils between the worlds" are thinnest.  It is a time of transition -- a time to release the past or release the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that we do not want to carry with us into the new year.

The Sabian symbol and theme of the astrological new year (which begins on Thursday, April 7) is "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery."  Releasing what no longer serves us lightens our load.  Balsamic phase seeks to unburden us.  What do you want to release?

SPIRITUAL CONNECTION - Today carries exceptionally high levels of spiritual connection, support, and insight, even for the most powerful Balsamic phase energy of the year.  The Sun is discharging the energetic of "brownies (fairies) dancing in the setting Sun."  The twilight of this all-important year leaves us reveling.  Setting Suns are the best times for release.

FOLLOW THE DIRECTION - Since spiritual communion is heightened, it is a good idea to release or surrender (go with the flow) today.  The Moon will make conjunction with Neptune today (exact conjunction at 7:41 pm ET/11:41 pm UT) at the degree of "men travelling a narrow path seeking illumination."  We follow along, trusting that we are being led on the right path.

EMOTIONAL OVERWHELM - The Moon in Pisces can be overwhelming at any time, but today, with the Moon's conjunction with Neptune, the watery, emotional realms are deep.  Neptune "rules" Pisces, so it's like a double effect.

Feelings of loss are amplified with Mercury discharging the energetic of "a large disappointed audience" and the Earth discharging "after a storm, a boat landing stands in need of reconstruction."  This combination is quite potent, bringing up emotions and creating conditions that prompt the release that is now needed.

BREAKTHROUGHS - Despite the tsunami of emotions, a breakthrough is indicated.  Venus is discharging the energetic of "light breaking through into many colors as it passes through a prism."  This is a spark of creation.  What we focus on today has the power to multiply in the future. 

If emotions become too much, it may be helpful to envision "shooting" or "directing them" through a prism for the universe to handle.  The prism can refine the energy, purifying it, and turning it into something beautiful - perhaps even a rainbow.

Break things down into smaller steps or components if overwhelm encroaches.

TRANSITION - Without question, today's energetics are completing the finale of this Year of Shift, the Year of "the music of the spheres"  -- the Year of the Recalibration of Human Consciousness toward sanity, balance, harmony, and alignment with our true and natural state of being.  Deep changes are happening inside us and in the world.  Mars is completing activation of the degree of "deep within the depths of the Earth new elements are being formed."  Are you resisting something?  Resisting a change?  Is the resistance making things harder?  Can you trust and release?

In the natural way, the days before the New Year are a time of celebration.  There is anticipation for the burst of the new.  New means change, and we have been conditioned (programmed) to fear change.  Change is the way of universe.

Can we be like fairies dancing in the setting Sun today?  It may be a challenge.  But wise owls are up for it.

The most important thing now is to take a step back from the outer world and connect with the inner world.  It is the  "visionary" time of the year when we want to be "setting our tables for the future" in our mind's eye.  Fear has no place on our table.  Let's release that and go back to "setting up" what we want to unfold over the upcoming year -- what we want to experience on new year's adventure of the magic carpet ride.

(Sorry for the delayed report, wise owls Down Under and in Europe.  Technical interference.  Our experiment with me posting the report at [my] night should resume tonight.)

Saturday, April 2 - Sunday, April 3, 2016

Third Quarter Moon Phase:  revise, realign, complete

Moon in Aquarius

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom):  Saturday: Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns Us With Our Highest and Best; Sunday: Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Seth, God of the North, God of Enlightenment

Skill:  practice the art of active listening and responding

True Alignments:  revelations, creativity, useful, repaired, tethered to a higher power, unwinding, courage, symbolism, emotional equilibrium, independent, pointed focus to complete a task, alluring, security, comfort

Catalysts for Change:  dullness, lack, wrong side of the road, routines, feelings of failure, disappointment, minimizing self, temporary loss, tension in romantic relationships, responding from the base or lowest level, emptiness, unacceptable to society, emotionally overwhelmed, blaming others, things coming to a head

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a table set for an evening meal" (re-arranging, setting things in place)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the music of the spheres" (recalibration of consciousness)

It has been a long week.  Let's hit the highlights for the weekend:

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS ARE STRESSED this weekend with Mercury opposing the Black Moon.   This is the only major astrological aspect happening this weekend, but it is a big one.  The "shadow of what has not been said or considered" comes out of the corner.  We can say, think, or do very harsh, hurtful things.  Inner demons surface.  Things come to a head or to their fullest part.  The instinct for self-survival is activated, prompting wild behavior and "tearing through" things.

The exact opposition of Mercury and the Black Moon occurs at 11:29 am ET/3:29 pm UT, which is when this aspect is heaviest.  The energetic is strong and will linger throughout the weekend, with other planets discharging similar themes.

Mercury is at the degree of "the purging of the priesthood" when it makes opposition with the Black Moon at "the sight of an autumn leaf brings to a pilgrim the sudden revelation of the mysteries of life and death."  These bring confessions, clearing, feelings of loss, confrontations with ourselves, and the ability to immerse ourselves more deeply in the present moment if we stop long enough.

REPEATS - On Saturday, the Sun is discharging the energetic of "a serpent coiling near a man and a woman," and the Earth is discharging the energetic of "circular paths."  The potential to be thrown off of our path and back into the past is very high.  Things repeat with this energy, and we can feel like we have failed, are making the same mistake, or are back where we started with something.  Overall, wisdom is gained from it.

STORIES AND LANDINGS - On Sunday, the Sun is discharging the energetic of "an Indian weaving a blanket," amplifying what we are weaving into the stories of our lives.  What is the story, morning glory?  All types of "narratives" are in play.  This energetic brings out the desire to express oneself.

Also on Sunday, the Earth is discharging the energetic of "after a storm, a boat landing stands in need of reconstruction."   Where have we "landed" or "found ourselves" here at the last days of this astrological year?  What has occurred since April 18, 2015?  We have all been under reconstruction.  Many things have changed.  When something is in need of reconstruction, it has an opportunity to be more than it was before the deconstruction.  The need to re-do is not necessarily a bad thing.  Could it actually be better?

CLOSING - This weekend is the prime time of the year to close, clear, or complete things.  Monday begins the Balsamic Moon phase, the last Moon phase of this solar-lunar year.  The last Moon phase of the year sends us into the mystic in advance of the astrological/natural new year that begins April 7, 2016.

In closing, we are reminded to be respectful to others this weekend.  Shadow sides do not need to be projected or "purged" onto another.  This destroys love and is against human nature.  We remember that truth and love prevail-- and they persevere, even under the heavy weavings of Mercury and the Black Moon.

See you in the mystic on Monday.
