Crescent Moon Phase: persevere

Moon in Leo

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides; Kali, Goddess of Time (also said to be the "Destroyer" of Time but more accurately described as the Collapser of Time)

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

Skill: connect with nature

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (enlightened to things)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending the old paradigm and control system)

All along the watchtower...

Today's report gives an overview of today's energetics, but it is tomorrow's -- Friday the 13th's -- energetics that I also want to cover.  It's a sort of "advance intelligence."

Today is the last day of the Crescent Moon Phase.  Since this lunar month is like a month-long Crescent Moon phase, we've had "double" the amount of Crescent energy over the last few days.  Crescent phases require perseverance, so double the amount of perseverance may be needed today on the last day of the phase.

We can transform "struggles" and worries into the opportunity or challenge to make things stronger and better.  That's what happens when we persevere through Crescent Moon phase.  It is the "hardest" phase, but it is the phase that proves the mettle.

Primary themes today are:

1- THE TALENTS OF THE SOUL MADE MANIFEST:  The Sun discharges the degree of23 Taurus: "a jewelry shop filled with the most magnificent jewels."  The people I have known who were born when the Sun was at 23 Taurus are brilliantly talented.  This energetic is truly a gem, and it is in effect all day.  The treasures within us can be found and brought forth. 

2- REINVIGORATE SELF OR PROJECTS:  Venus is at work today to help us remember who we really are and help us revitalize ourselves along that line.  This works nicely with the Sun's discharge of the magnificent jewels of the soul.

3- PERCEIVED FAILURES REVISED - A theme of seeing things with which we think we have failed emerges with a different perspective today.  Time has a way of doing this.  Was it a failure or a step in the process of something bigger?  Is it "time" for a change or a new approach?

4- COLLAPSING SPACE-TIME LIMITATIONS AND COMBINING THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE INTO ONE REALIZATION:  Nothing big there, right?  It is really quite simple.  It means the past, present, and future come together to help us see and understand a clearer course.  Insights, integrations, and epiphanies occur.  This dynamic comes courtesy of the Black Moon moving to the LAST degree of Libra: "three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher's head."  The Wisdom Goddesses instruct with an alternate image: "a thinker collapses space and time to combine the past, present, and future."  The Black Moon moves to 30 Libra at 11:14 am ET/3:14 pm UT.

5- OLD OWLS UP IN TREES (or all along the watchtowers) - Mars retrograde switches to discharging the energetic of 5 Sagittarius, "an old owl up in a tree."  A window of wisdom opens for humanity through May 17.  What is old hat for us?  Practicing the skill of being like a wise old owl up in a tree.  We go inside the tree (ourselves) to the place of clarity and wisdom, observing what is happening and staying firmly grounded with Gaia Sophia via the roots of the tree (ourselves).  This energetic is activated at 11:52 am ET/3:52 pm UT.

A parliament of wise owls is spread out all over the world (all along the watchtower).  This is what we are watching:

Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, an Illuminati temptation.

Tomorrow, Venus and Mercury (which is retrograde) will make conjunction at the degree of the Taurus New Moon, "a symbolic battle between swords and torches."

Tomorrow the Sun will discharge the same degree where Mercury stationed retrograde, "an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging at his back."

Tomorrow begins the First Quarter Moon phase, the time of stepping out and taking action, in the natural (magical) cycles of the Sun and Moon.

When we add all of these up we have a recipe for drama and lots of it: dramatic events, dramatic interpersonal interactions, dramatic communications, dramatic double crosses and backstabs, dramatic conflicts, dramatic demonstrations, and a higher potential for dramatic false flags/rituals.

The Illuminati's power for manipulation is quickly waning, and most of what they do in the darkness now only comes to light faster.  I am not saying they will make a move tomorrow.  I am saying they would see an opportunity (a natural energetic alignment) to exploit or rescue a crumbling agenda.  Try as they might, it ultimately will not work.  It's the might of light now.  Their days are over.

Today we "load in" a heavy measure of grounding with Gaia Sophia.  We want to spend as much time as possible outdoors.  We want to maintain a good connection.

All along the watchtower wise owls kept their view.

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere

Moon in Cancer/Leo 5:32 pm ET/9:32 pm UT

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

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

Skill:  persevere

True Alignments: outlets for emotions, satisfaction, allowing time, braving or weathering a storm, determination, mission, rising above something through spiritual awareness, guidance, hitting the mark, encouraged, willingness, confidence in the cycles of life, group efforts, peace

Catalysts for Change:  exploiting situations, warring, angry outbursts or explosions, deep sadness, worrying, inconsolable, feeling lost, unacceptable, attempts to intimidate, missing the mark, hopelessness about the future, hardship

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (the might of light)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending worries and challenges; transcending the collapsing control paradigm)

This lunar month, the month that began with the New Moon in Taurus on May 6, is like a month-long Crescent Moon phase. 

In the parallel of the cycle of the growth of a plant from a seed, Crescent Moon phase is the time when the seed that has "popped open" in the soil makes its way through the darkness, heading for the surface and into the light of day. 

Crescent phase is the journey to break through to another place of existence (or state of being).

It is the most challenging time of the cycle.  Many give up on the hopes, wishes, dreams, intentions, and goals they set last lunar month, the month that began with the New Moon in Aries (the first sign and the first month of the new solar-lunar year, April 6 - May 5). 

We can easily forget that the seed will not grow or ever have the opportunity to flower if the seed had not made its way through the darkness of the soil in which it was planted.

The seed understands that it is only natural to go through a brief time of darkness before it reaches the light.  It operates, without question, not on faith, but on the full understanding of the process .  No leap of faith is required when one understands the way nature works: plant and water a seed, provide sunlight toward which it can aim, and it will break through the surface to grow.

The same is true for us.  Crescent phases challenge us.  Difficulties, worries, and obstacles can create seemingly-insurmountable walls.  The tendency to struggle can easily set in.  And then we give up.  The magical dreams for the new year wither.

If we give up now on anything that we hoped, wished, dreamed, or intended for our future, we abandon wisdom.  It is NATURAL to feel a sense of struggle and even despair right now because we are in the metaphysical time when Spirit asks us to believe -- not to have faith, but to BELIEVE.  We know the way a plant grows.  We know the cycle.  So how hard is it to believe?

It can be very hard when you are part of a traumatized species that has unlearned that it too is a part of the natural cycles of the Earth.  We have mass Stockholm Syndrome with the Archons, our perpetrators.

However, like the seed breaking through the soil to the light of day, we are throwing off the dark archontic influences and transcending.  We will become beanstalks, sunflowers, roses, oak trees, willows, bamboo, and great pines- human style.

Do not give up.  The mission for Crescent phase is to persevere.

To help, and to navigate through the soil today, here are the primary energetics in effect:

1- SUN: "a white dove flying over troubled waters" (rise above worries and troubles)

2- EARTH: "hunters shooting wild ducks" (aggression, hyper-masculinity)

3- VENUS: "a man with a rakish silk hat muffled against the cold braves a storm" (be determined, weathering emotional storms)

4- MERCURY (RETROGRADE): "a woman airing an old bag through a sunny window" (airing and clearing out; the Sun was just here - what does this image look like to you today?  Does it look like it did a couple of days ago when it was activated?)

5- BLACK MOON: "mankind's vast enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from generation to generation" (knowledge, creating something lasting; this is the last day that the Black Moon will discharge this degree.  Tomorrow it moves to the last degree of Libra, much to the relief of those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra.  Almost there, ya'll.)

6- JUPITER: "a family tree" (Jupiter stationed retrograde yesterday.  During its retrograde it strengthened real, true traditions - traditions based in harmony and alignment with harmony and the value of the human experience.  Our roots run deeper.)

The magic carpet ride of the Solar-Lunar Year of 2016-17 has only just begun.  It promises adventure.  Don't bail out on it now under the perceived struggle that is part of the energy.  Hold on tighter and remember that a Higher Power has a dream for us.

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere through challenges

Moon in Cancer

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

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

Skill: see developments/develop something

True Alignments: co-existence, following instincts, seeing Oneness, understanding one's values/value system, facing things, allegiance to a higher ideal or inalienable right, catching the finer details or going back to understand the details of something, return to love, the ability to respond, bravery

Catalysts for Change:  emotional eruptions, going over the top, doing something only because others expect it - not because one wants to, inability to innovate or improvise as conditions develop, robotic-like emotional responses, the extremes of automation, meddling, personal agendas that go against group efforts

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (becoming enlightened to something)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending issues and challenges, rise of the Second Renaissance)

What develops today?  It could be very interesting.

Today's energetics follow these themes:

1- IMPORTANT THINGS POINTED OUT - The Sun is discharging the energetic of "a moving finger points to significant passages in a book."  Things that we may have missed, overlooked, not understood, underestimated, or undervalued are shown to us.  The key element here is that things are shown TO us, as in by something or someone else.  You may be the one to point something out.  A Divine Hand is at work, so we follow our hearts (which are also our minds, because the two share the same types of cells - neural cells - and are ALWAYS interconnected.  The agenda to disconnect them or make us believe that they are not connected is failing.).

2- STAGES AND PROCESSES - As things are pointed out today, we see how things are being re-worked under the massive retrograde factor of several of the planets.  When planets are retrograde, they re-work things.  We see how things take time to develop or go through various processes before they are finished or resolved.  We see that the best foundations are laid when we allow the time for the processes of development.  Mercury retrograde is re-working things the fastest right now, and this will be in effect until May 22.

3- CHOICES or DECISIONS - The Earth is discharging the energetic of "obeying his conscience, a soldier resists orders."  In general, this symbol involves a change-up of the status quo.  We may feels at odds with "the rules" or an old way/perspective/belief.  This energetic aligns with integrity and higher callings.  Consider the consequences if you find yourself as the soldier in this image today.  Do what you feel is right.  Be true to thy self.  Express yourself with dignity.

4-OPPORTUNITIES AND POSSIBILITIES CONTINUE - The Sun-Mercury re-conjunction has a few degrees in the sky being activated and re-activated in quick succession right now.  Mercury retrograde discharges the energetic that the Sun activated last Sunday (May 8): "a new continent rises out of the ocean."  It's epic, and the times are certainly so.  Many people are under the false assumption that things can't develop properly or beneficially when Mercury is retrograde.  However, new things (opportunities, options, alternatives, directions, etc.) often cross our paths during Merc retro.  In order to re-work things, sometimes something new needs to be introduced.  It may be fleeting, but it will serve the purpose of making things better.

The Moon will oppose Pluto between 1:51 and 7:00 pm ET/5:51 and 11:00 pm UT.  During this time, anything from the four themes above could dramatically stand out for us.  The aspect involves 1) freedom from something that has blocked, bound, or controlled us, 2) nurturance of beginnings or new developments, and 3) the desire for satisfaction.

We ride on the adventure that is our lives today, seeing what develops.  What all could the day hold?

Crescent Moon Phase: persevere (through challenges)

Moon in Gemini/Cancer 1:25 pm/5:25 pm UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides; Dhumavati, Goddess Who Sorts and Winnows; Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands (Blows) the Mind; Shodashi, Goddes Who Aligns Us With the Highest and Best; Matangi, Goddess of the Wind; Kali, Goddess of Endings and Beginnings (whew!)

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

Skill:  catch possibilities

True Alignments: team work, honesty, ability to be happy for others, planning, new opportunities, courage, curiosity, things revealed, solving problems or mysteries, taking the time to communicate things that are important, seeing and valuing the essentials, sense of adventure, a rush or thrill

Catalysts for Change:  jealousy, breaking rules, blaming someone else or throwing someone under the bus, cowardly, lack of growth, blocking the truth, miscommunication, cover ups, not using good sense, filling a void with material objects, saying things that go too far, arguments, turning dark or sinister

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (the might of light, enlightenment)

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

Today, the skies around us on our magic carpet ride light up brightly with the Sun and Mercury making conjunction at the degree in the sky of the Sabian symbol "wisps of clouds, like wings, streaming across the sky."  The ride speeds up today, so we will hold on!

Ideas, opportunities, and possibilities are whizzing right by us, streaming through the air.  Since we are "airborne," so the speak, this solar-lunar year, we can reach right out and grab them.  The conjunction of the Sun and Mercury make them brilliant ideas, opportunities, and possibilities.  These range from the most subtle (cloudier) to the most pronounced (clearer).

The pace or speed of the day is rapid, and we often feel like we are being pushed, propelled, or driven forward.  Spirit is streaming the clouds and the magic carpets across the sky.

If you need an answer, option, direction, or anything of this sort, send it out into the field of consciousness -- the "sky of the magic carpet."  Something should bounce back to assist.  Since Mercury is retrograde, most likely this will be a revision of the way we think about something that enables us to see the answer or possibility.

If anything, we want to feel what is "on the wind" or "in the air" today.  What does your gut tell you?  We can "super-humanly" amplify our instincts and intuition at any time we wish, but today's energetics favor and support this sort of thing.

Also, under today's energetics, some things will ricochet today.  This is particularly true of anything that developed or was in play on March 23, 2016.  These things return for re-examination.  (This was the Full Moon phase of last cycle - the Aries lunar month).

While it is usually a good idea to slow down under these types of dynamics, the conjunction of the Sun and Mercury (even when Mercury is retrograde) has a speed unto itself and there is not much we can do about it.  The energy takes us where we need to go.  These are Gaia Sophia's streams of consciousness, so we merely follow along and enjoy the ride, attuning with her perspective.  She would very much like us to enjoy the Ride of Rectification.

In fact, today her perspective is of "a woman drawing aside two dark curtains that closed the entrance to a sacred pathway," as the Earth is discharging this energetic. 

Several of the Wisdom Goddesses have had something to say with this report.  It's almost too much to catch.  This mirrors the whirlwind energies today.

Gaia Sophia has something to teach us today.

Please refer to the True Alignments and Catalysts for Change above for specific themes on our magic carpets today.  These are the threads that form the picture or design on our carpets of consciousness.

Notes:

Potential for geophysical events is higher today.

The exact conjunction of the Sun and Mercury is 11:13 am ET/3:13 pm UT, but is in effect all day with the wave motion of the energy.

New Moon Phase: intend, begin, visualize

Moon in Gemini

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

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

Skill:  look back and learn

True Alignments: feeling what is in the wind, sparks of creativity or emotion, new opportunities, brand new/big ideas, resting the mind, the outer matching the inner, messages and synchronicities, integration, flowing

Catalysts for Change:  wasting energy, disconnected from emotions, the outer not matching the inner, always searching and never satisfied, outright denial or refusal, going too fast or getting ahead of oneself, gossip, uncooperative, control issues

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (maintaining sight, enlightenment)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending the old paradigm, our old paradigms)

Yesterday the Sun was discharging the energetic of "a woman airing an old bag through a sunny window."  It brings light to situations and airs or clears them out.  Did you experience this?  The energetic was greatly amplified because the it is similar in nature to the energetic for the next month of "a symbolical battle between swords and torches."  Both endeavor to help us see clearly or cleanly.

Like all of the Sabiain symbols, the symbol of "a woman airing an old bag through a sunny window" evokes different images for everyone.  I particularly like to ask people what their mind's eye turns these words into.  What do you see?

Who is the woman?  Where is the woman?  Is she alone or with anyone?  Is she in a structure or a vehicle?  Is she stationary or moving?  What does the bag look like?  What color is it?  How is the bag held (handles, strap, drawstring, etc.)?  What was in the bag? How does she feel?

The Sabian symbols are a "sand tray" for the mind.  Having been trained in sand tray therapy and using it with trauma victims, my anecdotal evidence suggests that it is very effective.  The Soul, via The Psyche will send messages of enlightenment -- messages of assistance.  So, looking back to yesterday, how did this "picture frequency" play into your life?

Saturn, which is retrograde ("turned and moving backwards"), has moved to the degree in the sky of the Sabian symbol of "the ground hog looking for its shadow on Ground Hog Day," adding to the power of looking back and gaining enlightenment.

Suns and shadows indeed.

Today the Earth is discharging "a parrot listening and then talking, repeats a conversation he has overheard."  The "repetition" element of this energetic adds yet another layer to the theme today of "looking back."

As we look back we are also moving forward because truly time is relative.  The insight, understanding, or "enlightenment" we are gaining molds our present and future.  It's malleable, organic, and fluid all at the same "time."

So as we look back today, we are also moving forward with the dynamics of the Sun at "a new continent rising out of the ocean, " and Mercury at "wisps of clouds, like wings, are streaming across the sky."  The insight, understanding, or "enlightenment" we are gaining leads the way to new opportunities and possibilities.  Big ones.

The Moon in Gemini will oppose Saturn in Sagittarius at between 11:00 am ET/3:00 pm UT and 12:32 pm ET/4:32 pm UT.  During that time the Moon will be discharging the energetic of "two Dutch children talking."  This is the Sabian symbol or theme for the next lunar cycle, the Gemini lunar cycle that begins on June 4.  Things that develop during this timeframe provide foreshadowing of the themes happening next month.

When the Moon and Saturn are in aspect, it can be a drag -- as in not fun.  We tend to take things much too seriously.  We also tend to be very hard on ourselves (and others, though less so).  With this aspect, any type of rejection is keenly felt, as is any circumstance involving dishonesty.

The high end of the spectrum of the Moon-Saturn aspect brings energy for structuring/creating or re-structuring/re-creating.  Our emotional bodies seek containment.  We are guided toward what is meaningful.

This month we are maintaining our sights on our ideals, aims, and dreams for our future world.  As we take a look back today (and even possibly as we go into the shadow lands), we remember to keep our eyes on the prize.

New Moon Phase: begin, intend

Moon in Taurus

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

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

Skill: aim high; maintain sight; attend to wisdom

True Alignments: opening the heart, doors opening, independence, opportunities presented, cravings, things entering a new phase, inner wisdom. family heritage, protection and guardianship, the end of empire, entering higher realms, practicality, idealistic, beautiful representations, decorative, celebration, immaculate, real, mission, removing what is holding us back

Catalysts for Change: feeling one is responsible for everything, pretending to be happy, showing off (especially things that are superficial), control issues, conflicts, battles, blaming the bearer of bad news, losing sight or giving in to defeatism, uncompromising, worry, denial of self, disconnection, issues of self worth, seeking approval, arrogance, shows of strength that are not solid, waiting around

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (the might of light)

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

Welcome to the New Moon in Taurus!

The New Moon occurs at 3:30 pm ET/7:30 pm UT at the degree of the Sabian symbol (archetypal energetic frequency) of "a symbolic battle between swords and torches."

At the highest level, this energetic involves the resolution of dualities, dichotomies, struggles, conflicts, disparities, practicalities, and realities.

At the lowest level, this energetic involves degradation through methods or issues of control, force, loss of free speech, irrationality, and conquering via division.

The word "symbolic" is key.  The full effect, impact, or influence of what occurs over the next month may not be entirely visible or understood until the very end of February and through most of March 2017.

What happens this month happens primarily at higher levels of consciousness.  It fully manifests by the end of this solar-lunar year, specifically the Pisces lunar month.  The Sabian symbol for the Pisces lunation is "the race begins: intent on outdistancing his rivals, a jockey spurs his horse to great speed."

This month, starting today, the "race" actually begins.  It's just that it is happening at places of a wider light spectrum than our collective one. 

The "visible" manifestation in our world (the place on the light spectrum from which most of humanity is seeing) happens in March. 

Few are in the know.  Wise owls are among them. 

We understand that we are participating, by proxy, in a collaboration with higher forces of Spirit to rectify and restore balance, sanity, and liberty to humanity.

We have one primary mission in the "battlefield" of consciousness this month: maintain sight.

This could also be worded as "don't lose sight, " but the positive affirmation is always best.

So last lunar cycle, the first cycle of the natural year (as calculated by the cycles of the Sun and Moon), we set intentions and imprinted the "field" with our hopes, wishes, and dreams for ourselves and for the fellowship of humanity.

This lunar cycle, which begins today, we hold the line with those intentions.  We maintain our high aim.  We do not lose sight of what we are doing: adding our awareness to what is going on so that the Hundredth (Billionth?) Monkey Effect can take hold and take humanity out of the land of being unhappy drones.

Keep in mind, we have already won this battle and this war.  We are now playing it out.  We witness the freeing of the human mind, body, and spirit.  We attend to Wisdom.

Truly, the readers of Oracle Report, the Parliament of Wise Owls, are attendants to Wisdom.  We wish To Know.

The Aeon Sophia wishes to teach us, and joyfully welcomes our participation in the Second Renaissance.

Today, we join forces with torches (of enlightenment).

Audio report to detail the above is on its way for listening this weekend.

Happy New Moon, everyone!  Let's do the New Moon thing and envision.  Let's envision our wise owl wings joined together all over the world in a big huddle-hug with Gaia Sophia.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Aries/Taurus 1:12 pm ET/5:12 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: multiple (see below)

True Alignments:  trying new things, paying attention, willingness to relate, choosing to see blessing that are around, simplicity, shining the inner light, observation, recognizing when to pause, independence, gaining wisdom, the spirit of liberty

Catalysts for Change: out of touch, unsupported or unsupportive, rigid, breaking or cracking, lost in worry, boring, exaggeration, forcing the issue, impatient, gloomy, insincere, feelings of failure, inattentive, insecure

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending worries, difficulties, control systems)

We will pick up today at the end of the Moon's transit through Aries with a reminder of the energetics for this time period, as mentioned yesterday:

Between 12:18 am ET/4:18 am UT and 10:21 am ET/2:21 pm UT, the Moon conjuncts Uranus at the degree of "the gate to the garden of all fulfilled desires."  Uranus says, "I have the answer," and we say, "Let it be."  There is no fighting Uranus.  It helps to know that it is opening the way for what we desire.  Our "inner Thelete," our inner sacred masculine, our will, is heard. (Moon conjunct Uranus)

And finally, between 10:22 am ET/2:22 pm UT and 1:11 pm ET/5:11 pm UT, the Moon will oppose the Black Moon at the degree of "mankind's vast enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from one generation to the next."  This is very much related to the overall theme of "bridging from one thing to another" with its imagery of transferring.  The symbol is specific in its value of the knowledge gained under this energetic.  It lasts.  So things that we come to as we bridge are lasting and stable.  They survive and thrive with the tests of time. (Moon opposite Black Moon)

At 1:12 pm ET/5:11 pm UT, the Moon moves to Taurus, paving the way for the New Moon in Taurus tomorrow at 3:30 pm ET/7:30 pm UT.

In preparation for the New Moon tomorrow, we follow the directive of the Balsamic Moon phase to release what we do not want to carry with us into the next lunar cycle.  Balsamic Moon phase is the time to "weed out" our "field of consciousness" to begin anew with the best possible circumstances.

This means that the mindset, feelings, beliefs, and hopes, wishes, and dreams (or the lack thereof) that we have today influence the "quality" of our experience next month.  In other words if we "load in" poor quality nutrients (fears and worries), our experience will not be as rich. 

The cessation of negativity is needed on this last day of the month that sets the tone for the rest of the solar-lunar year.

This is no easy feat when much of the day's energetics are dominated by a Moon-Black Moon conjunction, which naturally brings up fears and negativity.

But this also brings up an opportunity.  The ability to transcend a fear, worry, or issue is greatly heightened right now, and when we turn that fear, worry, or issue over to a higher power (i.e. release it), we perform an act of power. 

Acts of spiritual power underlie the entire next lunar cycle, as it discharges the energetic of "a symbolic battle between torches and swords."  Light overcomes might.

Negative thoughts seek to do battle with us today, but we seek only to recognize them and send them on their way, understanding that they are not needed.  In fact, are they real or true at all?

To navigate the field of consciousness today with intention and mission, knowing these specific themes are in effect may help:

1- GAINING OR LOSING INTEREST:  The Sun discharges the energetic of "an old teacher fails to interest his pupils in traditional knowledge."  We may move back and forth between our feelings or opinions about things throughout the day.  The notion of "been there, done that" may come up.  A new approach to something will work best.

2- CHOOSING HAPPINESS: Many things may cross our minds that tempt us to see through the glass darkly or see it as half empty.  We want to counter these thoughts.  What and how we think today will have great effect on the battle of consciousness that will wage next lunar cycle.  How hard is it, really, to cancel out a thought?  It requires only a choice and the engagement of our Will.  The Earth discharges the frequency of "a girl's face breaking into a smile."  Let's choose to help Gaia Sophia smile today.

3- STOPPED, ON HOLD, OR GROUNDED: Venus comes to the degree of "a sleigh without snow," which tends to stop things in their tracks, and Mercury retrograde moves back to the degree of "a white dove flying over troubled waters."  So if we come to a roadblock, obstacle, or barrier, we will not force the issue.  We stop and take flight.  Leave it be for a while.  Come back to it later with a refreshed perspective.  The time out will enable the situation to proceed in a better way.

The insight we gain from releasing, rising above, and refreshing things today empowers our experience of the future.  The Taurus lunar cycle, which begins tomorrow, is one of the most important (if not the most important, as I understand it from the Wisdom Goddesses) cycles of this new solar-lunar year.

All wise owls should prepare their accoutrements of consciousness.  Tomorrow, we join the Forces of Light to further the ongoing mission of restoring the balance and goodness of Life.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Aries

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Chinnamasta, Goddess Who Expands the Mind, Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With Our Highest and Best

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

Skill: bridge out of the old and into the new

True Alignments: overcoming limits of time/space/distance, avoiding danger or pitfalls, depth of heart, true service, honoring nature, respect for others, going against the status quo when it is against what is good and true, flexible, leaps of faith, letting go of the past, overcoming, uniting, the shelter of love, building the future, continuity, solving something

Catalysts for Change:  avoidance, flimsy/superficial/lacking depth, service to self only, emotional pitfalls, exaggerated ideas of self, delusion, mistakes or errors (they really aren't mistakes, they were steps in the process of learning, going with the status quo when it is against what is good and true, inability to adapt/change/innovate, seeking danger, twisting things up (especially reality or the truth in order to get one's way), separation

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

A primary dynamic of bridging from one place (a mindset, attitude, feeling, time, situation, perceived failure, fear, worry, etc.) to another is in effect.  Venus is discharging the energetic of "a bridge being built across a gorge."  The "magic carpet" kicks in the afterburners to take us there.

So it is a good idea to envision what or how you would prefer things to be, and focus less on how they actually are at this moment.  It's about "going" somewhere or being or feeling better.  It means a change is underway - a transition from one way to another.

Uranus is the planetary power behind our magic carpet ride today, and we know that Uranus sets things right.  It aligns with our proper course.

As mentioned yesterday, the Moon has moved in to Aries, opposing the Black Moon in Libra, and bringing a couple of days when shadow sides emerge (from the deepest depths this time around). 

(This is the second to the last stage of rebirth for those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra, so these wise owls want hold on loosely and let the energies complete their work.  Only one more stage or gate to go in the journey through one's own private underworld.  You will be ready to rejoin the feeling of being in the land of the living and the magic of life will be felt again after a long absence.  Thebridge to it is there today.)

Here is a breakdown of the themes and timing for the "bridging" that is occurring through tomorrow:

1- Until 1:32 pm ET/5:32 pm UT, the energetic of "a woman's hat with streamers is blown by an east wind."  This brings attunement with the "new place" (represented by the EAST wind - the direction of beginnings) we are going.  Spiritual forces take off or take away any limitations to our full expression, enlightenment, and happiness (what is in our highest and best interests). 

This is the Sabian symbol for next year's solar-lunar year.  Witness today the blow to archontic controls and see the evidence of what is to come.  Next year, in a big way, it will be out with the old and in with the brand new.

2-  Between 1:33 pm ET/5:33 pm UT and 5:12 pm ET/9:12 pm UT, the dynamic of "fairies dancing in the setting Sun" will be in effect to enable us to see beyond fantasy and delusion or anything not based in reality.  This is a wonderful energy when it embraces the magic of the world and the cycles of nature, but not so fun when it goes off into the land of narcissism.  Dissolutions and restructuring of all kinds are emphasized.

3- Between 5:13 pm ET/9:13 pm UT and 12:17 am ET/4:17 am UT, the dynamic of "an empty hammock" is in play to help the process of detachment from the "place" we were to the "place" where we are bridging.  Transformation of emotional and physical states (our emotional and physical bodies) occurs during this time.

4- Between 12:18 am ET/4:18 am UT and 10:21 am ET/2:21 pm UT, the Moon conjuncts Uranus at the degree of "the gate to the garden of all fulfilled desires."  Uranus says, "I have the answer," and we say, "Let it be."  There is no fighting Uranus.  It helps to know that it is opening the way for what we desire.  Our "inner Thelete," our inner sacred masculine, our will, is heard.

5- And finally, between 10:22 am ET/2:22 pm UT and 1:11 pm ET/5:11 pm UT, the Moon will oppose the Black Moon at the degree of "mankind's vast enduring effort to reach for knowledge transferable from one generation to the next."  This is very much related to the overall theme of "bridging from one thing to another" with its imagery of transferring.  The symbol is specific in its value of the knowledge gained under this energetic.  It lasts.  So things that we come to as we bridge are lasting and stable.  They survive and thrive with the tests of time. 

The Moon will enter Taurus at 1:12 pm ET/5:12 pm UT, ending the shadow time of the Moon in Aries.

So we see what's in store for us today and into tomorrow with our magic carpet ride.  Let's put it all into context, and bridge out of the old and into the new.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Pisces/Aries 1:05 pm ET/5:05 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: maintain the centered place of calm

True Alignments: clearing the past, weathering difficulties, realizations, filling in, honoring one's feelings, reaching out, wisdom created from knowledge and experience, taking time, integration, inner poise, determination, reflection, greater potential

Catalysts for Change: falsifying, artificial shows of strength and courage, knowing it all, overly serious, a sense of heaviness or burden, not showing true feelings, lost in lost opportunities, resisting change, put on the spot, testing others, stuck, undeveloped, pushing too fast, skipping to the end, giving up, discomfort (change is trying to happen)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month and Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending, moving to a higher level or perspective)

We enter the Balsamic Moon phase today, the time of the lunar cycle where we release anything that has developed over the past month that we do not want to carry forward into the next month. 

Balsamic Moon phase is the time of the cycle of the Sun and Moon when intuition is highest and Spirit is closest.  It is the time of stepping back and letting a divine hand direct the course.

Within this context, the Sabian symbols for the degrees of the planets today offer the following guidance:

1- BRAVING A STORM or taking something "on the chin," or having a "stiff upper lip" may be required.  The Sun is discharging the frequency of "a man with a rakish (tattered) silk hat muffled against the cold, braves a storm."  Inner strength surpasses any form of outer appearance.  We often need to remain confident in ourselves when this dynamic is in play, radiating this to others and thus spreading reassurance.  Perseverance is advised to help us through any types of "storms" we may encounter today.  Don't give up.

2- FIVE INTENTIONS are suggested with the Earth discharging "children playing around five mounds of sand."  If you have not set intentions for the new Solar-Lunar Year, this Balsamic Moon phase provides the last opportunity.  What five things would you dream into the adventure of your magic carpet ride this year?  What would you like the world to be?  With which ideas would you like to play? The image of five mounds of sand offers the "raw stuff" from which we can create anything. 

3- LIFE'S TREASURES continue to be unlocked or discovered, as Mercury retrograde discharges "a jewelry shop filled with the most magnificent jewels."  We tend to take for granted that with which we are accustomed, as brilliant or magnificent or stunning as it is.  Expressing gratitude and appreciation in various ways goes a long way today.

4- FILLING IN THE GAPS and/or releasing what no longer serves our own and other's highest and best interests comes with Venus at the degree of "a widow at an open grave."  Feelings of loss, especially loss in relationships, can call to us and attempt to "put us under" when Venus discharges this degree.  We tend to waste time looking back too much.  What is important is the present moment, and following the missive of the Sun today (the "man braving a storm") enables us to move past the past.

5- EMERGENCE FROM HIDDEN DEPTHS comes from Mars and Neptune in process of making a wide square (90 degrees apart). Mars is at "deep within the depths of the Earth, new elements are being formed," and Neptune is at "an examination of initiates in the sanctuary of an occult brotherhood."  Sanctuary is a key part of Neptune's dissemination of its current energetic.  Whatever is welling up from the Earth or from within ourselves is occurring to produce relief, peace, contentment, and opportunities for learning and growth.

6- AND FINALLY, REACHING OUT AND CREATING WISDOM AND MEANING FROM OUR EXPERIENCES begins with the Black Moon moving to the 29th degree of Libra at 11:35 am ET/3:35 pm UT.  The Black Moon will leave Libra on May 22, so those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra have a little more than a couple of weeks remaining on the 9-month long journey of rebirth.  We brave the storm.

Since the Moon is moving into Aries, the opposite sign of Libra, we have a little more than two days of shadow side activity - Black Moon days.  This applies to everyone.  Hidden or unconscious fears arise.  We can transcend whatever we need to if we look closely at ourselves, as a facet of ourselves is shown to us when we have Black Moon days in effect.  Willingness to look honestly at oneself without projecting it onto others is the skill of a spiritual warrior.

Tomorrow and into Thursday, the Moon will make aspects with Mars, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, and the Black Moon.  I will break down the timing tomorrow.

We are clearing the "field of our experience" now during the Balsamic phase in preparation for the New Moon in Taurus on Friday (May 6, 2016 at 3:30 pm ET/7:30 pm UT).  Today, our wise owl feathers are muffled against any cold winds or storms that may blow today.  We are safe and warm in the sanctuary of the Sabians.

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.)

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.
