New Moon Phase (Saturday 11:00 pm ET/ Sunday3:00 am UT: begin, set intentions

Moon in Gemini

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Bagalamukhi, Goddess Who Dissolves Illusions

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

Skill: consider what is really motivating any dramas; what is trying to be revealed?

True Alignments:  signs and indicators, discernment, influence spreading, independent, discovery, expression of emotions, out of the ordinary, open to possibilities, desire for deeper wisdom, peace

Catalysts for Change: illusions and denial, tricks, faking, trying to win sympathy, important actions taken unconsciously or without thought, resistance to the truth of matters, pushy (especially pushing one's point of view), dredging up things, insensitive, diminishing self, avoidance of responsibility

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a woman activist, in an emotional speech, dramatizing her cause" (moving beyond victimhood, change that comes about through drama)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending the unraveling control paradigm, taking up the spectacular adventure of life)

The show begins.

The New Moon in Gemini enters this weekend, opening the curtain on a month of drama.

The key is to remember that a drama - a performance, an active narrative - is taking place, and not to get too sucked in to it.  We want to remain in our seats, which are not really seats at all.  Energetically speaking, we are seated on comfy magic carpets and can leave the "theatre" any time we like.  We can return any time we like.  And there are no lines.

Subplots of the drama this month include the following themes, which may be introduced into the story this weekend:

1- LIKE MINDED PEOPLE BROUGHT TOGETHER TO SHARE, CREATE, and COLLABORATE - As the sign of The Twins, Gemini energy is related "the other."  Mercury rules the sign, networking and delivering within the field of consciousness.  During the New Moon phase, people/places/things may show up on the scene for development throughout the lunar month. 

2- RETURN/REPEAT OF AN OLD PATTERN, HABIT, or SITUATION - This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it brings the opportunity to go back and refine or re-assert something.  Things are pointed out to us for review.

3- THE PAST BROUGHT TO LIGHT - When this occurs, it is to bring relief to emotional, mental, and physical strife.

4- LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AND FINDING IT

5- FORTIFICATION OF WILLPOWER - Something inside each of us wants expression this month, and the impetus to get it done is empowered. 

6- NOT SETTLING FOR LESS

7- EXPLORING THE UNCONSIDERED OR UNFAMILIAR

8- ACTIONS AIMED AT DIVIDING AND CONQUERING - This will be big this month.  Let's not fall for the trick.

9- VENTING AND BLOWING - Ample potential for eruptions is present.  Conflicts and issues drastically present themselves to be addressed.  There is also a theme of filtering out what is no longer appropriate.  Along with this is also ample potential for inspiration and ideas. 

10 - WIDE OPEN FIELDS CHANGE VIEWPOINTS AND DIRECTIONS

Showtime.  Happy New Moon!

Balsamic Moon Phase: clear, release

Moon in Taurus (Gemini 11:02 pm ET/Saturday 3:02 am UT)

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

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

Skill:  let go and see where it goes

True Alignments:  sharing, bonds of love, honoring the past, strong foundations, mysteries, going the distance, the healing power of music, psychic communication, preparing space for the new

Catalysts for Change:  hard on oneself and/or others, making more rules to follow, the need for approval and validation from others, robbing someone of something, conflict, opposition, destroying/rewriting history, feeling alone, manipulation

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

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending; the unraveling of the archontic control system)

Today our "magic carpets" twist and turn through the last day of the lunar month of "a symbolic battle between swords and torches."  This sight-seeing tour is rapidly becoming the greatest show on earth. 

The lunar month that starts tomorrow will be dramatic in what it produces and changes.  My title for the overview of the upcoming cycle (recorded Tuesday, May 31 and posted at the homepage of OracleReport.com) is "Standing Up (Or the Drama of Second Renaissance)."

Today, on the eve of the New Moon in Gemini, we are guided in new directions (new thoughts, ideas, feelings, perspectives, etc.) as the energetics of shift weave their way through our lives.  Both Chiron and Neptune (which are both in Pisces) move to new degrees in the sky today.  We also have the Grand Cross activating, pointing things in new directions and aligning things with True North.

Chiron moves to the degree of the Sabian symbol "the New Moon reveals it is time for people to go ahead with their different projects."  Perfect timing with the New Moon beginning tomorrow.  Chiron is the planet that heals us of our wounds and teaches us that there are other ways.  Hold this thought.

Neptune moves to the degree of the Sabian symbol "a sword used in many battles in a museum."  The energy is about putting things down but keeping a reminder of them so that we remember to do things different ways.

Now let's put the two together.  Chiron at "the New Moon reveals it is time for people to go ahead with their different projects" and Neptune at "a sword used in many battles in a museum" equals "put down the swords that we use to wound ourselves and do things a different way."

In the audio overview for the Gemini cycle, I discussed how we would see evidence of a "unification" of the sacred feminine (Sophia) and sacred masculine (Thelete).  Follow this with me:

Today, the Sun is discharging "two people living far apart in telepathic communication."  The two aeons, Sophia and Thelete, have always been linked, even though Sophia was "unconscious."  In the microcosm of our individual lives, our inner sacred feminine or inner sacred masculine may have felt cut off from us for some time.

The location of the Earth today is "the pyramids and the sphinx."  In symbology, pyramids represent the masculine principle (among other things).  My grandmother visited the Sphinx in the 1970s and she said it was quite clear that the monument was of a female, but damaged in certain areas in order to make it look like a male.  At any rate, it is feline-ish, which is symbolic of the feminine.

Additionally, Saturn is located at the degree of "the pyramids and the sphinx" and it made exact opposition with the Sun at 2:38 am ET/6:38 am UT today.

The Sun, Earth, and Saturn are directing us toward unifying our inner sacred masculine and feminine, and it will continue throughout the next lunar month.

Today, Mercury gives us a clue with how to go about this.  Mercury is disseminating the energetic of "wisps of clouds, like wings, moving across the sky."  Mercury says, "Let it go and see where it goes."

We are seeing where things are going today, as we prepare for the New Moon.  We are following the shifts, watching as the two Divine Principles begin to manifest in our worlds and in our lives.

Note:  Here is a summary of the items I discussed in the audio recording for the Gemini New Moon:

1- The lunar month is the second month we have that is like a month-long Crescent Moon phase.

2-The month is detail-oriented.

3- Evidence of the return of the sacred masculine and the principles of will and desire (through openings and opportunities).  Ian, God of the East

4- Evidence of the return of the sacred feminine and the principle of wisdom (through leaks, breaks, splitting, venting, diversifying, spreading). Bagalamukhi, Goddess Who Destroys Illusions and Goddess Who Stuns and Silences

5- The month brings bounty and inspiration.

6- Mars and the Black Moon in Scorpio

7- Hillary Clinton attempts a comeback but is thwarted.

8- Dates to note:

June 6-8: Sun-Venus conjunction

June 17-26: Black Moon transits Chiron Point

June 29: Mars stations direct

July 4: New Moon in Cancer

Wednesday, June 1, 2016

Balsamic Moon Phase: clear and release

Moon in Aries/Taurus 10:48 pm ET/2:48 am UT

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides, Matangi, Goddess of the Wind, and Shodashi, Goddess of Beauty and Goddess Who Absolutely Sonically Pummels the Archons

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): all four - Ian, Kathe, Elias, and Seth

Skill:  be fluid like an acrobat

True Alignments:  going into the mystic/the unknown, safe and secure, honing a talent or skill, new attitude, new opportunities, things coming to light/understandings, sympathetic, productivity

Catalysts for Change:  restrictions of growth, the need for approval or validation from others, insecurities, the need for absolute proof, arrogance, lost in the past, resisting change

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

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending limitations/the past/old systems)

Welcome to a world-class day.

Have you ever seen or heard or felt something that was so profoundly beautiful that it brought tears to your eyes?

This is the highest octave of today's energetics. 

Beauty has many forms and definitions.  It applies to anything and everything.

I write almost every day and I do not have words to describe what is happening today.  It is one of my days when I wish I was a musician because words fail me when attempting to deliver the message.  Playing an instrument or using the voice for singing would be the only way to fully engender the meaning.

Thus, I will honor the beauty of the heart of it as purely and as simply as I can: We are greatly loved, and the totality of it is realized by us only in flickers.

The stars flicker for us today. 

We are being lifted above and beyond.  Out of harm's way.  It is a beautiful act of love.

A great wave of wind (the Wisdom Goddess Matangi) arises underneath us, a great push in the proper direction (Tara) snaps us into position, and then a great line of power (Shodashi)  lifts us up.

This happens today as the Sun (Saboath to the Gnostics) discharges the energetic of "a world famous pianist giving a concert performance."  Today is nothing less than that.

For us humans, the energetics may feel like we need to be an acrobat to manage it all.  Acrobatically adjusting to changes that are taking place, challenges that are being met, and emotions that are surging is the key today.  The "magic carpet ride" of the course of your life may be swaying to and fro and up and down.  It is gliding along the currents, which are dramatic right now.  A Grand Cross has formed in advance of the New Moon on Saturday, June 4, and it is changing the course of things.

Today, three of the ten "faces" or "aspects" of Gaia Sophia and each of the four "faces" or "aspects" of Thelete (with the Grand Cross) are in play to smooth out the ride for us as a "symbolic battle between swords and torches" is being "waged" or is happening at higher levels of consciousness.  The tide has turned for the Archons and their agenda.  They suffer a massive blow today courtesy of Tara, Matangi, and Shodashi.  Let's watch what happens on the first day of the Balsamic Moon phase of the Aquarius and Pisces lunar cycles later this solar-lunar year (February and March 2017 in the Gregorian calendar).  This is when what happens today will manifest or represented in the reality of our world.

Today, after something from the past provides insight for us, new things open up.  The Earth is discharging "a widow's past is brought to light," Venus is discharging "newly opened lands offer the pioneer new opportunities for experience," and Mercury is discharging "a new continent rising out of the ocean."  As I said, the day is world class.

When the Moon enters Taurus, it will begin opposing the Black Moon in Scorpio.  Those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Taurus or Scorpio (opposite signs) experience one of the stages of rebirth that they are under until Valentine's Day 2017.  This is our first experience with the Moon in Taurus since the Black Moon moved into Scorpio, so we will see how this is.  Everyone's shadow side is faced in one way or another and to one degree or another when the Moon and Black Moon are interacting.  Projection of one's one feelings onto others is the modus operandi.  Issues related to insecurities and losses are in focus.

Nonetheless, it is a world class day.  Wonders never cease.

(P.S. Audio overview of the New Moon in Gemini now posted.)

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Aries

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

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

Skill:  change perspective

True Alignments: relevance, breaking free of conditioning/habits/limitations, being heard, seeing a brighter side, creativity and creation, proud expressions, liberty, leadership, seeing the future in current patterns, clearing

Catalysts for Change:  intimidating or dominating others, unjust assumptions of power, the power to sway, stuck in being a victim, expecting others to fix things, holding in feelings, difficulty letting go of what is no longer acceptable, feelings of worthlessness, giving away one's power, cluttered up

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 the past, past beliefs, past systems)

Four planets are positioning to form a beautiful pattern in the skies.  When planets make patterns, their energetics combine in special ways to produce certain effects.

This particular beautiful pattern is called a Grand Cross.  It is an equilateral cross, with one planet anchoring each of the four points.

Grand Crosses change things.  The planets are at right angles, so changes in the direction of things occurs.  Rectification, realignment, and revision is the purpose.  It begins at the perfect time -- the Third Quarter Moon phase, the time of the lunar cycle when the energetics naturally favor revising and realigning.

The Grand Cross occurs in what astrologers call "mutable" signs, which means the energetic effect of the Grand Cross mutates, changes, transforms, transmutes, and morphs into (often unexpected ways).  Mutable energy is like a running river.  It meanders and goes into different places.

The activator of this Cross is the Sun.  The other planets involved are Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.  A divine bit of loveliness is bestowed upon us.

But the loveliness is not confined to today.  This Grand Cross begins today, and will still be in effect at the upcoming New Moon in Gemini on Saturday, June 4.  This means the energetic is "imprinted" by the New Moon and then plays out, unfolds, and develops through the entire lunar month.  So it will be with us for a month.

Even more loveliness is added tomorrow when Venus moves into range of the Sun and begins to add its influence at that point on the cross.  Venus is the Planet of Loveliness.  When Venus conjuncts the Sun, beautiful things occur.  The power of love is activated.

The Sun hyper-empowers things.  Jupiter hyper-expands things.  Saturn hyper-structures things.  Neptune hyper-spiritualizes things.

That is a pretty good combination in my book.  What do you think?

Grand Crosses activate four directions, and the Four Directions (the Medicine Wheel) are the domain of the Knights of Sophia or the Kings of Thelete or the Band of Brothers, which are my preferred names for the four emissaries or "faces" of the aeon Thelete.  In the ancient Gnostic view, Thelete is the principle of the Divine Masculine which centers on will and desire.

All of this starts today and continues throughout the next month.  It's a giant smack down of love for the fellowship of humanity.

For today, here are the themes we encounter on our "magic carpet ride" through the Theme Park:

1- RISING ABOVE - The Sun is discharging the might of the Sabian symbol of "a Black slave girl demands her rights of her mistress."  This energetic is a fortification of inner strength that comes out into the world to set things right.  It seeks justice.  It seeks alignment with inalienable rights.  Sabian symbol Queen Lynda Hill writes that it is the energy of "spreading your wings in order to improve your situation."  The lower octave of the energetic falls into victimhood. 

(Side note:  How interesting that rapper Snoop Dogg is calling out the [mind control] programming with the remake of the Roots miniseries to incite division and victimization and living in the past instead of being part of creativity now [Second Renaissance]. --Italics mine.)

A possible indicator of what we need to rise above today may have shown up in some way last Sunday (May 29).  Venus comes to the degree that the Sun was discharging on Sunday: "an airplane performing a nosedive."  In our terms this year, our personal magic carpet may have been in a nosedive.  If so, was it a total crash or did you pull up in time?  Either answer is fine and correct.  Magic carpets do not really crash.  They do not break apart.  They fall and hit the ground, but they are kind of a built in parachute.  They just land as they are and fold in on themselves.  This year, "crash downs" are really solid landings.  We are perhaps a little bruised and sore from it, but nonetheless intact.

2- IDEAS AND IDEALS RING OUT - The loveliness continues with the Earth discharging the energetic of "a flag that is seen turning into an eagle."  Our minds and imaginations soar, and things become physical and real.  Declarations become real at some point.  What we focus our energy and attention on today holds great power to bloom later (and maybe sooner than we think).

3- CLEARING - Third Quarter Moon phase is the best time of the lunar month to clear up and clean out (change a mindset, habit, belief, environment, anything).  Today Mercury returns to the degree of "a woman airing an old bag through a sunny window."  With this, we take the best and discard the rest.  The energy wants to gets things in order, get them ready.  The energetic seeks to "de-clutter" the mind, body, and soul.  It wants to air out and bring things to light.

The Magic Carpet Ride of 2016 is nothing if not surreal to witness.  There is a lot to see, but let's remember to look UP.  There is a Giant Cross happening in the sky.  It harmonizes.  Let's tune into THAT.  Let's look.  And listen.

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Pisces/Aries 9:10 pm ET/Tuesday 1:10 am UT

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

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

Skill: be a pioneer

True Alignments:  non-judgmental, epiphanies, moving past a fear, breaking away from something that is limiting, a new opportunity, bringing light to something, caring, self-nurturance, open minded, a new outlook

Catalysts for Change:  rationalizing behavior and actions, self-sacrifice just to keep the peace, defensive, arguments, unprepared, restriction of growth, clinging to the past, domineering, repeating an old pattern, divide and conquer tactics, heightened anger

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (reconciling the inner and the outer)

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

Today, I will list the primary themes and then cover a couple of things coming ahead on our Magic Carpet Ride of 2016:

1- BE A PIONEER - The Sun discharges the energetic of "newly opened lands offer the pioneer new opportunities and experiences."  This is a fabulous energetic to move past a fear or barrier to get to a better place (physically, mentally, emotionally).  Pioneering requires breaking away from the familiar, to some degree or another.  It also usually involves the unknown.

2- FULL PACK - Once again, Venus has our backs, helping us pioneer into the unknown with the re-activation of "a quiver filled with arrows."  Recall that the Sun activated this energetic on Friday.  Venus is "chasing" the Sun and will unite (conjunct) with it on June 6.  (We can expect strong geologic effects that day, per the Electric Universe principle.)

As Venus chases the Sun, we can track the "variations on a theme" first when the Sun activates a degree and then again when Venus re-activates it.  In other words, things that developed on Friday (events, moods, feelings, etc.) recur or are built upon today (since on Friday the Sun activated "a quiver filled with arrows" and today Venus reaches that degree).

The "quiver" in this Sabian symbol is filled, not empty.  It is filled with what we need.  When Venus discharges this degree, the quiver is filled with love.  Anything can be accomplished with abundant love, and the fellowship of humanity is abundantly loved.  Our quiver, our pack, our hearts are full.  Where we take it from there is up to us.

3- LINKING - Today, we get smarter!  We put things together and figure them out.  The Earth is discharging the energetic of "the lamp of physical enlightenment at the left temple."  Spirit and mind unite.  This symbol underscores the need to be "in body" and to care for the body as a temple.  This is wonderful for realigning and balancing.  There may be some resistance with this, as Mercury completes its discharge of "the symbolic battle between swords and torches."  Dualities are trying to reconcile.

4- ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY AND BEING LENIENT - Mars (retrograde) is now at the degree of "an Indian woman pleading to the chief for the lives of her children."  There may be a need to stand up for someone (or oneself).  Take a look at any hierarchy (any power and control dynamic) before making a case.

Finally, at 10:23 am ET/2:23 pm UT, the Black Moon will move to 2 degrees of Scorpio and "a broken bottle and spilled perfume."  The Black Moon will discharge this energetic through June 8.  It will be in effect when the Sun opposes Saturn on June 3, at the New Moon in Gemini on June 4, and when Venus conjuncts the Sun on June 6.  June 3-8 will be energetically intensive.

But today we have the beginnings of some things breaking loose, spilling over, and becoming known.

Pioneers make the unknown known.  The Black Moon begins to speed the process, and the magic carpet ride continues to relate wondrous sights.  What is new today?

(NOTE: The Black Moon is now one degree closer to opposition with the Chiron Point, the energy of the wounded healer and teacher.  Those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Taurus or Scorpio, be aware that your "rebirth" experience may be sharper or cut a little deeper until the Black Moon moves out of range of the Chiron Point (June 26).  Be gentle with yourself, rest when you feel tired, and turn your feelings over to the energetics of the transit if they become overwhelming.  Release your burden.)

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, complete

Moon in Pisces

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

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

Skill: rectify or make something better

True Alignments: support, sincerity, protection, last minute saves, creativity, beauty, offerings, self care, recognizing a good thing when you see it, ability to redirect the course, the mysteries of life

Catalysts for Change: always chasing something else, mistrust, propaganda, unsupportive, shake ups, diving in without looking, self-sabotage or working against oneself, control issues, loss of faith or belief, drama

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

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

Today we enter the seventh of the eight phases of the Moon, the Third Quarter phase, which essentially signals the end of this lunar month.  The eighth Moon phase, the Balsamic Moon phase, exists "out of time" somewhat, because it is the transition phase into new energy.  We revise and realign before preparing for the New.

Today, Mercury, which has newly stationed direct or is appearing to move forward in the sky once again, returns to the degree/energetic theme for this month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches."

Mercury rules our thoughts, thinking processes, and communications.  We think about things in a new light today.  We see and understand something that has eluded us.  The psyche wants to "put down" a battle it has had with itself.  The energetic of the "symbolic battle between swords and torches" helps us overcome anything in which we are mired.

This may come about as a result of something "falling down," "falling short," "falling away," "shaking up," or "taking a downturn."  The Sun is discharging the energetic of "an airplane performing a nosedive."  There can be a tendency to self-sabotage when this frequency of energy is in effect.  Defiance is more common, but the higher purpose of the energy is to take care of ourselves or save ourselves from something.  We pull up.

New directions (even with things that seem too good to be true) are offered with the Earth discharging "a theatrical representation of a golden-haired goddess of opportunity."  Each of us is playing out a story - a narrative.  Internal or external shifts happen today to put us on the path of opportunities.  Using discernment is always best, so look twice at things before acting.  We do not want to be fooled by an act, play, or performance.

To assist, Venus discharges "an old fashioned well," which tells us that the golden opportunities and the new perspectives we gain are those which are supportive and sincere, not degenerative and halfway.  We have a plentiful "well of experiences" from which to draw and discern.  The hardest part may be believing that something better could actually result.  We rarely expect "better," but it is time to rectify that.  Today's energetics help.

Today, Spirit turns over the controls of our magic carpet rides.  We can take them anywhere we would like it to go.  All of the world is our stage.

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Aquarius/Pisces (5:08 pm ET/9:08 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: launch a lot of love

True Alignments: patience, breaking things down in to steps, personal fulfillment, pursuing a dream, creating a vision or idea, assistance, overcoming difficulties, able to see in the dark, the inner child, following the heart

Catalysts for Change:  going into something unprepared, rushing, foolish risks, things that are obscured, hopelessness, feeling that there is no point and giving up, exhaustion (what needs to change?), going in circles

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

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

The core dynamic for today is wanting to get what we want, but not knowing what we are going to get.  It is wise to remember this before getting ahead of oneself today.

The Sun is discharging the energetic of " a quiver filled with arrows."  At varying levels, this motivates us toward obtaining, achieving, catching, seeking, or experiencing something we desire.  This is stronger for some than others today (depending on how one's astrological chart is being aspected).

What actually results from what we achieve, catch, seek, or experience is more unknown than it normally would be.  This is because Venus is discharging the energetic of "workmen drilling for oil."  With this dynamic, what we find is uncertain, possibly even risky.

The combination of two energetics tells us to be fully prepared, consider all potential consequences, and make sure their is a point to it before engaging it.  The aim should be true.

Instead of launching into or toward something impulsively, we can follow the energetic of the Earth today, as it disseminates the energetic of "a mother leads her small child step by step up the stair."  We understand that when this Sabian symbol degree is activated, it is best to take one thing at a time.

This solar-lunar year is like a magic carpet ride, and today is natural for things that interest us to cross our flight path.  Wanting to learn somethingis a strong influence.  Past interests or hobbies may "return" for us to resume.  All of this relates to what is meaningful to us.

Yesterday I discussed Mars' re-entry into Scorpio (joining the Black Moon in Scorpio).  Scorpio has a pointer - a stinger.  With the Sun at "a quiver of arrows," pointed conversations, sharp stabs, and piercing emotions all too easily ensue.  Again, we want to think twice.  These energetics bring anger to the surface quickly, especially until the Moon moves into Pisces.  Then, that energy tends to turn inward, and can become gloomy and defeatist.  When Scorpio and Pisces energies intermingle, emotions become tidal waves from which people seek escape.  Overconsumption of alcohol would tend to exacerbate this effect.  This is a holiday weekend in the US, when alcohol consumption is already higher.

Love arrows of consciousness fills our quivers.  Let's launch a volley of them today, wise owls!

(P.S. I will be back tomorrow for the shift to the Third Quarter phase.)

Disseminating Moon Phase:  communicate, share

Moon in Aquarius

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

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

Skill: change; adapt to change

True Alignments: able to compromise, breaking free, standing up for what is right, unity, acceptance, motivated for change, new awareness, release, examining the status quo and taking action, the importance of the individual, leadership, decisive, the essence of things

Catalysts for Change:  argumentative, negative outlook, mood swings, obsessions, uncompromising, false starts, demanding, cover ups, hidden motives and rituals, greed, immature, greed, bossy, overreacting

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (understanding/becoming enlightened to something; the might of light)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending worries/difficulties, the past, the control system)

Today is a day of change.  Mars, which is retrograde, is changing signs, leaving Sagittarius and re-entering Scorpio, and the Sun, Earth, and Venus are discharging variations on the same theme.

On the Magic Carpet Ride of 2016, the ability to adapt to change is essential.

This means we become as fluid as possible today, flowing with the changes instead of being rigid, resistant, and refusing.

Because we are a traumatized species in the process of coming out of our trauma syndrome, changes trigger fears in us.  But the Planet of Changes, Uranus, is preparing to assist.  Uranus will move to the 24th degree of Aries tomorrow, and Uranus only brings beneficial change.  They are always for the better.  So there is truly nothing to worry about.  In fact, it means our luck is about to change.  We are lucky to know this about Uranus.

Tomorrow Uranus will move from the energetic of "a woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable but veiled load."  Certainly Uranus seeks to release us from burdens today as it completes the discharge of this frequency of energy.  It wants to "take a load off" of us.  Today is a day to shed what weighs on us.  Lucky for us, the Disseminating Moon phase provides optimal conditions for expressing thoughts and feelings, which goes a long way toward unburdening.  This can come about in various ways, through conversations with others or even a conversation with a journal, for example.  The purpose is to unburden or release.

Accompanying energetics for change, we have the Sun discharging "aroused strikers around a factory," the Earth discharging "deep within the depths of the Earth new elements are being formed," and Venus is discharging "a radical magazine, asking for change, displays a sensational front page."

So we have 1) recognizing a need for a change with the Sun, 2) deep inner changes with the Earth, and 3) potentially radical changes -- especially within relationships -- with Venus.

Individually and collectively, the fellowship of humanity undergoes a profound shift today.

Changes seem to be a little easier when you know they are coming.  We have some time to adjust.  The changes that come about today may be quite sudden and surprising, but the effects can be tempered by knowing change is in the air and remembering that the changes are for the better.  Even things like accidents (especially things like accidents) will yield some sort of silver lining.  Most often, that silver lining is not visible at the time of the event.

At 9:53 am ET/1:53 pm UT, Mars will leave Sagittarius and re-enter Scorpio.  The day a planet changes signs can be quite intense (and often produces geophysical effects).  When planets retrograde, they re-work things based on the nature of the planet.  The nature of Mars is to provide energy and motivation to act, achieve, begin, survive, thrive, defend, and assert.  The higher octave of Mars works for the good of all, and the lower octave of Mars works only for the good of self.

Mars is the original or first ruler of the sign of Scorpio.  Pluto is now the primary ruler of Scorpio.  By their natures, Pluto and Scorpio rule the 8th House -- the House of the Underworld, among other things.  (In astrology, the 12 "houses" or "segments" of the zodiac represent certain areas of life experience.)

So, in a manner of speaking, today Mars re-enters the underworld.  And we go with him.

Given the energetics of the Sabian symbols for today, we can accompany Mars very deeply into the journey.  The underworld is not bad.  It just provides another perspective.  And since Mars is retrograding or moving backwards, it is re-working things for the better.  We may be going back to something from the past, but it will yield valuable changes for the present and future.

Mars is fire energy, so its movement out of the fire sign of Sagittarius and into the water sign of Scorpio will be a nice relief from heightened aggression.

There is one more piece of this.  Earlier this week, the Black Moon also entered Scorpio.  Essentially, we now have the archetypal masculine and feminine energies united in Scorpio.  From the watery depths of Scorpio, shadows of the underworld are revealed.

In another sense, Mars and the Black Moon are warrior energies.  They represent the archetypes of the god and goddess of the battlefield.  Mars and the Black Moon are now combined to engage this month's "symbolic battle between swords and torches" to bring the might of light into our lives and into the world.

Mars will continue to retrograde back through Scorpio until June 29 at 7:40 pm ET, when it will station direct.  So we have a good little while with Mars re-working how we use our energy and resources.

Mars stationed retrograde on April 18, 2016, and on June 29 will station direct at 24 degrees of Scorpio.  The Sabian symbol for this degree is "crowds coming down from the mountain to listen to one inspired man."  This means that since April 18 Mars has been working toward this energetic.

For whom have crowds been "coming down the mountain" to hear?  It is interesting, is it not?

This report traveled deeply, changing a lot.  So, too, do we today.  We keep in mind that changes are afoot, and we are luckier for it.

Happy Friday, everyone!

Disseminating Moon Phase: communicate, share

Moon in Capricorn (Aquarius 10:27 am ET/2:27 pm UT)

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides; Shodashi, Goddess Who Aligns With the Highest and Best, Goddess of Beauty

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

Skill: confidence (in self and the Divine)

True Alignments:  risking rejection and vulnerability, the power of belief, rewards from hard work and effort, the beauty of form, guidance, the heart's desires, respect, inviting, tapping inner wisdom

Catalysts for Change:  rejection before consideration, fear of opening up, commitment issues, trust issues, elitism, rigidity, controlling, unwilling to look deeply, feelings of powerlessness, overthinking, overcomplicating

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

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending worries, challenges, and old beliefs/systems)

Welcome to a beautiful day, courtesy of beautiful energetics.

One of the primary dynamics in effect today is to not make things harder than they need to be.  When we ease up, things will begin to flow and even lead to something fulfilling (dare I say fun?).

In the spirit of this theme, let's lay out the day's the energetics, and then get on to something else.

1- RELEASE STRUGGLE - We are in the time of the solar-lunar year that is like a month-long Crescent Moon phase.  Crescent phases are characterized by perseverance through challenges -- what could also be described as struggling through difficulties.  The struggle is not necessary.  Struggling involves judgment.  Perseverance means we just keep showing up, keep going, head forward, without stopping.  The wisdom of the Crescent phase energy is "Don't give up; don't ever give up." - basketball coaching legend Jim Valvano.  Struggling is exhausting.  Releasing the need to push for a specific outcome is much easier on the body, mind, and soul.

2- OPEN UP SPACE - If and when things become complicated, mentally stop and step out of them.  Take a few deep breaths.  Allow the field to realign.  Doing so enables the interplay of the energetic that the Earth is discharging today: "Cupid knocking at the door of a human heart."  Allow things to take different forms.

3- CONFIDENCE - Today the theme of confidence in self and confidence in Divine guidance and direction repeats within the Sabian symbols today.  The Earth is located at "an old fashioned well" and Venus at "the garden of the tuileries in Paris."  These are about things that are reliable and supported.  We can draw deeply from the well of consciousness that dwells inside of us - our inner resources.  The exact things we need are neatly laid out for us to visit or revisit. 

The energy takes us somewhere specific today - someplace where light will enter, someplace that helps us understand.

This is what's in store on the magic carpet ride today.

Now, on to the beautiful part.  (I am publishing this main part of the report and continuing with  the P.S.)

Disseminating Moon Phase:  communicate, share

Moon in Capricorn

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): Tara, Goddess Who Guides; Kali, Goddess of Beginnings and Endings

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

Skill:  listen; be receptive; follow intuition

True Alignments: collaboration, recognizing or utilizing a skill set, quests, delving deeply into something to understand or "master," integrity, remembering things take time to develop, preserving through challenges

Catalysts for Change:  sneaking something in or out, true intentions hidden, taking high risks, mind chatter that prevents active listening, disruption in operations, lack of vitality, overlooking, disregarding

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (becoming enlightened to something; further erosion of old paradigm control systems)

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet ride of Oriental imagery" (transcending worries, troubles, the past)

The mighty, fiery "Full Moon with Mars" phase ends today.  What did the fullest light of the cycle bring you?  To what did you become enlightened?  What was shown to you about yourself and your course in life?

Now we begin the Disseminating phase of the Moon, the time in the lunar cycle when Divine messages are communicated.  This happens via direct, indirect, and overheard conversations, synchronicities, contact or sightings with animals or other creatures in Nature's kingdom, seeming coincidences, prompts to go back and read something, seemingly-random surfing of the internet, brief interactions (like in line somewhere), and the like.

It is very important to follow intuition during Disseminating Moon phases because Divine messages are trying to reach us.  Guardian angels, spirit guides, animal guides, emissaries of the forces of Wisdom and Will, and the like, feed back information to us.  When we follow our intuition and gut instincts, we facilitate the process.  It can be a fun adventure to follow the "breadcrumbs of consciousness" through the Disseminating Moon phase.

I say it just about every month at this time, the Disseminating Moon phase: listen and pay attention.  In order to gain the full benefit of the spiritual communique, we step back and listen.  The source field/information field is speaking to us.  If we are immersed in the moment, we hear better.

Try it now.  Stop and listen.  What do you hear?

It may be random noise right now, but stick around.  Keep doing it and, sooner or later, you will get the message.  You will hear a repeat of a word or theme that provides guidance or information.  Or, someone may flat out tell you, with no puzzle involved.  The object is to be receptive.

Further skill comes into play when we follow our instincts and intuition about sharing something with others.  This does not necessarily mean our deepest, most personal thoughts.  The time and place for that sort of in-depth sharing often arises during Disseminating Moon phases.  But the randomness of casual conversation cannot be minimized during this Moon phase.  This requires the willingness to engage with others.  The object is to be open.

This astrological year, I think the "magic carpet ride" takes us through open air markets of free exchange during Disseminating Moon phases.  There is no limit to the unusual and eclectic this year, since Uranus, Planet of Weirdness, was conjunct the New Moon in Aries (which sets the themes for the year).

As we are listening and paying attention today, here are a few notes on the journey:

1- DRILLING DOWN - The Sun is discharging "workmen drilling for oil," bringing the desire to get to the bottom or bottom line or heart of an issue (or it comes to us).  The planetary effects of fracking are being shown to us right now.

2- ESTABLISHING NEW THINGS - The Moon will conjunct Pluto at 10:20 am ET/2:20 pm UT today at the degree of "the Union Jack flies over a new British warship."  Deep things come up with this energetic, and we already have the "deep" energy of "workmen drilling for oil."  Expression of pent up anger can arise.  There is a tendency to rail against anyone or anything that tries to control us. 

The G7 starts today, but their "wheelings and dealings" will not manifest as planned.  A Grand Trine between the Moon, Pluto, Mercury, Jupiter, and the North Node is in place, and will counter all agendas based on domination.  Bad call, Illuminati.

3- PRACTICALITY -  A level of practicality underlies today's energetics.  What serves a practical benefit has more support than efforts or things based on superficial, material gain.  The Moon-Pluto conjunction is in Capricorn, which wants us to be ultra-practical.

We have our listening ears on today.  Ready to receive?

Full Moon Phase: clarity, understanding, revelations

Moon in Capricorn

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

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): Ian, God of the East (the direction of beginnings; Ian is on duty until July 4)

Skill:  attend to wisdom (pay attention, connect with nature, recognize patterns)

True Alignments:  enlarged or changed perspective, observation, motivation, reforming, breaking free of a burden or challenge, attraction, reflecting, reunions, ideals, memories, beauty of form, bridging

Catalysts for Change: not wanting to get involved, self-aggrandizement, harsh self criticism, denial, argumentative, close-minded, going too fast, propaganda, lacking direction, high drama, going along with what others want for you instead of what you want for you

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

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending old/unnatural beliefs and systems)

Today, the Earth (Gaia Sophia) discharges the energetic frequency encoded in the Sabian symbol for 5 Sagittarius: "an old owl up in a tree."  This is the "founding energetic" of the Oracle Report, and one of the reasons I call readers the "parliament of wise owls."  A group of owls is called a parliament.  Owls see what others miss.

When the energetic of "an old owl up in a tree" is in effect, wisdom is certainly gained.  However, there is another aspect to owl energy that is not discussed as much as the "wisdom" theme: strength. 

It takes strength to gain wisdom.  We forget this.  Strength is needed to truly (accurately, objectively) reflect and contemplate.  Reflection upon what we experience is how we gain wisdom.  Wisdom is much more than knowledge.  Wisdom requires a certain strength of Will.

Strength of will is always just as much in effect as wisdom when the Sabian symbol of the "owl owl up in a tree" is activated.

Strength of will to stay (or get) on track, to hold one's own mind, to stick to one's convictions, to not be easily swayed, and to prompt a beneficial change is our blessing today.

It is important to understand that we remain in the Full Moon phase of the cycle.  The characteristics of a Full Moon last longer than the day that the Moon is Full.  Most people do not understand this because the wisdom has been suppressed (almost to the degree of eradication, but behold the return of wisdom).

As we recall, Mars was conjunct the Moon when it became Full.  Mars is fire energy.  It is tempestuous, impulsive, and oftentimes aggressive.  Mars activates anger as well as depression (they are polarities).  Full Moons bring everything to heightened (fullest) expression.  Full Moon Fever naturally has people saying and doing things that are out of the ordinary (extreme, cathartic), but with Mars right there with it takes it to another level.

One manifestation of this is an increase in accidents and violence.  Another manifestation would be the concentrated geophysical activity we are seeing. 

The pressure can be intense.

Today, as the Full Moon phase continues, Mars and Venus will come to exact opposite places in the sky.  In astrology, this is called an opposition.  The planets come to exactly 180 degrees apart.

In the natural cycle of time, an astrological opposition is called a Full phase.  The two planets engage in their own Full Moon together.

So we have Venus and Mars making opposition (Full phase) during the Full Moon phase.  This means double the trouble and double the fun.

Combinations of Venus and Mars focus on relationships and the masculine and feminine principles.

At the time of the opposition, Mars is located at the degree of "retired army veterans gather to reawaken old memories."  This energetic brings like-minded people (people who are in resonance) together.  It can also tend to hold on to the past.  The highest octave is reflecting on the past in order to understand something that is going on now.

At the time of the opposition, Venus is located at the degree of "a glass-bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders."  This energetic brings the ability to see beyond or see through what is normally hidden or inside boundaries.  It can also tend to put up barriers.  The highest octave is recognizing that there are wonders that we never see.  Under the surface, life is teeming.  Beyond the matrix, wonders never cease.

With all of this, the Sun is discharging the energetic of "a radical magazine, asking for action, displays a sensational front page."  What is sensational today?  Will our perspective change?  What is induced within relationships?

This is a long explanation of the energetics.  It probably required some strength of will to plough through it.  But that is what wise owls do.  We persevere.  We find our Inner Thelete, our Will and Desire (to Know).  We know that the tendency today is for us to see things either more fully or from a different perspective.  We understand that a spark is trying to galvanize something for us.  We realize that people are being brought together.  We see the past come to light.

We attend to Wisdom.

Full Moon Phase: realizations, insight, clarity

Moon in Sagittarius

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

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

Skill: have patience with self and others; refresh

True Alignments:  graceful, focused, permanence, determination, returning to nature, small pleasures, progress made one step at a time, genuine, deep emotions, dazzled, heightened creativity, traditions that hold

Catalysts for Change:  irritable, hyperactive, not asking for help, performances to sway things socially, neglect, rejection, feelings of meaninglessness, overreacting, ego centric, overcomplicating

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

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet ride of Oriental imagery" (transcending difficulties/worries/old beliefs and systems)

In many ways, we are in "fresh" energy right now, which always requires a little time to adjust. 

The Sun and Earth moved into a different sign of the zodiac, Black Moon moved into a different sign of the zodiac, Mars (which is retrograde) was conjunct the Full Moon, and Mercury stationed direct all basically at once this past weekend.

Any one of these happening would have strong energetic effects, therefore strong effects on our personal lives and the collective life of humanity.

Since we remain in the Full phase of the Moon until Wednesday, the Mars component remains in effect.

Between now and then, a major astrological aspect occurs: tomorrow we have Venus making opposition with Mars.  More on this tomorrow.

In preparation, the wisdom of today's energetics tells us that recognizing that we are acclimating to fresh energetics and also having patience with one's self and others will completely alter our experience.  It will not be as much of a struggle or disruption.  The Earth is discharging the energetic "a little child learning to walk."  We are young to these new energies, so patience is needed.

To facilitate an easing into these fresh energetics, here are a couple of themes to be aware of with some suggestions for navigation:

1- NERVOUS, HYPER, DISPROPORTIONAL - Mars completes its discharge of "an ocean covered with whitecaps" today, completing the stirring up of emotions and energy.  This energetic brings a lot of energy or takes away a lot of energy.  You may be on one end of this spectrum or bouncing between the two of them.  Either way, it is an "extreme" energetic that can wipe us out.  This completes before Venus reaches opposition with Mars tomorrow.  Be aware that there can be some element of not being shown the whole picture or truth when this degree is activated.  Diving deeply below (extracting emotions and coming to a place of objectivity) may still be needed today.

2- CENTERED AND HUMBLE - These two states of being are priceless today.  Venus discharges the energetic of "a peacock parading on the terrace of an old castle."  We do not need any prancing or parading around today.  The need to be the center of attention will not work out well today.  This energetic is more about what is "proper," and in the Second Renaissance, the current awakening and rebirth of humanity, what is "proper" is what is aligned with truth, liberty, free expression, respect for others, and inalienable rights  FOR ALL.  This energetic provides the antithesis of the systems of the globalists. 

The peacock does not parade around because he is on a fine estate.  They saunter and fan out their feathers just as much when they are on a dusty back road.  Peacocks are brilliant, beautiful creations that create breathtaking spectacles of nature when they fan out their full glory.  The peacock does not show off for its own sake.  It amplifies the recognition of a higher force of creativity.  In other words, it evidences the extreme brilliance of nature, not itself.

3- EVOKING FEELINGS OF HOME - The Sun discharges the energetic of "holly and mistletoe bring Christmas spirit to a home."  The feeling of home comes from nature.  The symbol is specific in this.  It also tells us that a "holiday spirit" or the ideal of home can be found in nature.  An inner feeling (an inspiration) is found by connecting with the natural world.

AT 11:38 am ET/3:38 pm ET, the Moon will trine Uranus, potentially heightening levels of anxiety/nervousness and surprising news or twists in the process of something.

At 3:23 pm ET/7:23 pm UT, the Moon will square Chiron potentially heightening the odds of learning something important (possibly through something that stings).

At 6:33 pm ET/10:33 pm UT, the Moon will conjunct the Galactic Center, opening a streaming channel with Source.  Tune in and be inspired.

Today, let's have patience with ourselves and others.  Let's refresh.

Friday, May 20 - Sunday, May 22, 2016

Friday:  Gibbous Moon Phase:  trust, magic

Saturday & Sunday: Full Moon Phase: revelations, clarity

Skill: dive beneath the surface for objectivity

True Alignments: enlarged perspective, idealism, reflection on hopes/wishes/dreams, drawn toward something, rewards, piercing the veil, out of the ordinary, safe, reverie

Catalysts for Change: avoidance, putting up barriers, wanting guarantees, exaggeration, seeking glory for glory's sake, not using common sense, blinded to something, struggling

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches" (the might of light, becoming enlightened to something, tearing down old paradigms)

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

Several different (but interrelated) energetics are in motion over the next few days.  Here is a run down:

Friday is an interesting day in that we will almost have a repeat of it on Tuesday, May 24.  On Tuesday, Venus and Mars will be in opposition at the same degrees where the Sun and Earth are today.

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 2016 - On Friday, the Sun is located at "a glass-bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders."  This energetic enables us to objectively see things that are not usually visible or apparent.  This comes about from a rather detached perspective, with some safety between us and what's below.  What we see is not necessarily "negative" or disruptive, just filled with wonderment or amazement.  In other words, it is a sight to behold.  We can see beauty just as much as we can see sea monsters (of the psyche).

On Friday, the Earth is located at "retired army veterans gather to reawaken old memories."  The Resonance Principle is in effect bringing like-minded people together.  There is a tendency to look back at the with nostalgia, often glossing over the "bad" and emphasizing the "good."  Reflecting enables us to do things a different way.

OBJECTIVITY IS THE THING TO KEEP IN MIND FRIDAY.  DETACHMENT FROM ISSUES IS BEST, AS THE ENERGETICS WILL CHANGE WITH THE FULL MOON SATURDAY.  BEST TO WAIT-OUT MAJOR DECISIONS UNTIL MONDAY, IF POSSIBLE.

Themes, events, circumstances, situations, and developments that occur today will in some way recur or be revisited Tuesday, when Venus and Mars come to these same degrees.  It is a good idea to note or journal today to compare Tuesday. 

SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2016 - At 10:52 am ET/2:52 pm UT, the Black Moon will leave Libra and enter Scorpio, where it will transit until Valentine's Day 2017.  The day a planet (especially an outer planet or the planetary anomaly called the Black Moon) changes signs can be intense.  It can feel like the ground beneath us has shifted, knocking us off kilter a bit.

The themes of the Black Moon in the polarity of Scorpio (issues with loss) and Taurus (issues with security) now come into focus for rebirth.  The Black Moon will attempt to help us solve and relive these things.

Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, but was originally ruled by Mars.  Scorpio gets a bad rap most of the time because it can carry a great deal of anger and aggression, and can go very deep and get very ugly.  In astrology, Pluto and Scorpio rule the 8th House, the house of the underworld.

Ultimately, Pluto and Scorpio transform in the deepest ways.  This is what we can expect over the next nine months.

Over the last nine months, the Black Moon in Libra (ruled by Venus and Eris) brought harmony and unity.  Certainly, the collective of humanity came together in new and unprecedented ways during the Black Moon's transit through Libra.

Now it's time for transformation.  And it is a major transformation, as the overarching theme for this solar-lunar (natural) year is transcending the past, transcending worries and difficulties, and transcending the crumbling Archontic power and control system.

In the current trend of exits, with the "Brexit" and possibly the "Texit," humanity, as a fellowship and en masse, will have a "Matrexit" -- an exit from the matrix -- during the Black Moon in Scorpio.

SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2016 - 5:14 pm ET/9:14 pm UT - The Full Moon phase enters while the Moon is conjunct Mars.  This means the Full Moon phase will be fiery! 

The themes involved with the Full Moon phase are 1) gifts - seeing our gifts, accepting our gifts, sharing our gifts, and giving, and 2) wishes - making them and fulfilling them.

At the time of the Full Moon, the Sun (which is what enables the light of a Full Moon, let us not forget), will be discharging the energetic of 02 Gemini and "Santa Claus filling stockings furtively" (secretly, stealthily).  This is where we get the "gifts" and "wishes" components of the Full Moon's themes.

The flip side of this Full Moon is much greater potential for deception, hiding things, and trying to get away with something.

At the time of the Full Moon, the Moon and Mars will be discharging the energetic of 02 Sagittarius and "the ocean covered with whitecaps."  THE NEED TO DIVE UNDERNEATH MAY ARISE.  Things can get very choppy when this Sabian symbol energetic is activated.  Honesty and dishonesty often come into play.  This is where we get the "deceptions" and "hidden" components of the Full Moon's themes.

SUNDAY, MAY 22, 2016 - MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT at 9:20 am ET/1:20 pm UT.  Praise be!  Interpersonal communications, telecommunications, electronics, travel, and our thinking processes are released from the massive revision and realignment that Mercury retrograde endeavored to accomplish.  Mercury retrograde reworked things.  Now they can begin to move forward and make progress.

The day a planet moves - stations retrograde/direct or moves into a new sign -- is always intense because a sling shot effect happens.  Both Saturday and Sunday have these characteristics.

So this weekend could be quite eventful with the Black Moon, Mercury, and a heck of a Full Moon in effect.  Emotions always run higher during Full Moons.

I would say "forewarned is forearmed," but we need not view this weekend as something to battle.  A battle IS happening at higher levels of consciousness this month, and the Full Moon always brings the peak of that.  Our job in this is to maintain equilibrium -- keep it together and act like a sane human being.  Spiritual warriors dive deeply when the times call for it.  This weekend may be one of those times.  Dive under the choppy surface and find the place of calm.  From here we can see and act objectively.

Happy Full Moon, everyone!

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, magic

Moon in Scorpio

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

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

Skill:  go outdoors, deepen connection with nature

True Alignments:  beauty and form, neat, attraction, ancient things, fun-loving, useful, sustainable, all for One(ness) and One(ness) for all, integrity, laughter, the true nature of humanity (loving), behind the veil

Catalysts for Change: unkempt, contempt, illusions, disconnected, immaturity, tricks and false flags, misbehaving, bragging, jealousy, the need to be the center of attention

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

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

Today the energetics settle down a bit.  In turn, I will forego lengthy explanation.  The over-arching theme for today is taking time for self-care and care for loved ones.  It is a day to get back to basics, re-aligning ourselves with what is most precious about life.  This is important to do before the onset of the Full Moon phase.

Saturday's (May 21) Full Moon bring Venus and Mars with it.  The Moon is in tight or close conjunction with Mars at the time of the Full Moon.  Venus is in range of conjunction with the Sun.  This means all of these planets will be working (playing) in concert.  Mars-Venus energetics are about romantic relationships, of course, so things will develop or occur within those.  But Mars-Venus is also about how and where we use or expend our energy.  Is it directed toward love or anger?  Is it directed toward what we truly value or siphoned off in the opposite direction?

Today offers us an opportunity to "recharge our batteries," in advance of the blazing fire energy that will come with the Full Moon in Sagittarius.  This is best accomplished by spending time in nature (connected with the mind of Gaia Sophia) and taking time for self-care in whatever form is needed.  Self-care enables optimal care of others.

Let's stop, take deep breaths, and seek beauty.  If being outdoors is not possible for some reason, take time to look out of windows.  Conscious effort to reconnect with the natural world is the goal.  Sophia heals and restores us, and she is available 24/7.  Step outside and feel the magic of her Gibbous Moon phase.

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, magic

Moon in Libra

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

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

Skill:  hold the line; think twice

True Alignments: cooperation and collaboration, like attracting like, getting a result, standing up for others and ourselves, making a case, forgiveness, harmony, determination, confidence, releasing responsibility or shame, seeing new opportunities and beginnings, the continued rise of the grassroots

Catalysts for Change:  playing games, unfinished, commitments that do not bring satisfaction, working with a team but taking all the credit, trying to dominate or intimidate others, sacrificing self, stressful environments revealed, overly competitive, aggression, repeating a self-sabotaging pattern, invading territory or space

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 worries, old beliefs and systems)

If we could hear the music of the spheres (the planets) right now, we would hear a particularly frenetic part of the  arrangement.  There is a lot going on.

Let's break it down and also spool up the "FTL" (faster than light) on the "magic carpet" for a look a little bit ahead:

1- QUICK CHANGES - The Moon will oppose Uranus today, but this time around is much more impactful.  This is because it is the last time for 9 years that the Moon will be in the same sign as the Black Moon (and the fact that Uranus is opposite in Aries this time).  The Moon will move out of Libra and into Scorpio tomorrow at 1:58 am ET/5:58 am UT, ending the massive push for change that is happening. It is epic or monumental (as in marking a point in time) levels of change.  The exact opposition of the Moon and Uranus occurs today at 11:22 am ET/3:22 pm UT, but is effectively in operation until the Moon leaves Libra.

2- RELEASE OF BURDENS IN ANTICIPATION OF NEW BEGINNINGS OR OPPORTUNITIES -  At the time of the opposition between the Moon and Uranus, the Moon will be located at the Sabian symbol energetic of "a chanticleer's (rooster's) voice heralds the rising Sun with exuberant tones," and Uranus will be located at "a woman in pastel colors carrying a heavy and valuable but veiled load."

The last days of the Black Moon in Libra are producing "rebirthing" effects for everyone to some degree of another, but especially for those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra.  Today's energetics seek the release of something we have been carrying, possibly for a long time.  The "internal battle of swords and torches" wants to come to an end with the release of something that weighs on us.

As the Black Moon transitions into Scorpio (exact movement on Sunday, May 21 at 10:52 am ET/2:52 pm UT), those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Taurus or Scorpio are most likely feeling the approach of the Black Moon.  A lack of energy combined with feelings of loss and concerns about security for the future are the first signs.  Wise owls who fall into this category are beginning the time of rebirth.  See my book on the Black Moon (which is available for free download) on the Books tab for more information.  Be assured that I will be tracking this time just as I have with the Black Moon in Libra, so there will be help along the way.  We are always better from the transits of the Black Moon, so prepare to become a better (happier, more balanced, and more spiritually aligned) you.

3- TWO BY TWO AND GAMES - At 6:39 pm ET/10:39 pm UT, Mars (which is retrograde through June 30) moves to the degree of "two men playing chess."  The Sun is discharging another energetic of "two's" today with "two cobblers working at a table."  Cobblers make shoes (I have come to understand that the term "cobbler" is not as widely known as it used to be).  Shoes offer protection in our travels.  Chess is a game of strategy and forethought -- the mind has to travel ahead to plan moves.  What does this evoke for you?  What needs to happen?

Endeavors, projects, goals, ideals that are underway in collaboration with another (especially someone of like mind or "resonance") are greatly supported today.

4- INSTINCTS - What is natural or native to us comes out today.  Two Sabian symbols images involving Native Americans are in effect today.  The Earth is located at "an Indian woman pleading for the lives of her children," and Venus moves to the familiar "an Indian warrior riding fiercely, human scalps hanging at his belt."  The "Indian warrior riding fiercely" energetic has been hyper-active lately, but today it focuses on interpersonal relationships, since Venus is activating it.  Metaphorically speaking, the tendency is for "heads to roll."  This can manifest in any type of interpersonal relationship (professional, romantic, familial, etc.)  The combination of these two Sabian symbols suggests that there me some degree of guilt, remorse, or shame after one "unleashes."  Let's by-pass all of this.  Clear, concise communications delivered respectfully are best.

5- A LOOK AHEAD - Several major astrological events are on the horizon.  Here is a list so that we can be aware of the timing, along with some key intel:

BLACK MOON ENTERS SCORPIO - SATURDAY, MAY 21 - 10:52 am ET/2:52 pm UT - A major transition of energetics occurs, just before the Full Moon.  Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and is "underworld" energy.  What has been in the shadows of the underworld will be brought to light during the Black Moon's transit of Scorpio.  Look out new world order.  The King of the Fairies (the Sacred Masculine) cometh and his name is Thelete.

FULL MOON - SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2016 - 5:14 pm ET/9:14 pm UT - Mars at 02 Sagittarius will be conjunct Full Moon.  The Sabian symbol energetic involved is "an ocean covered with whitecaps."  It will be an intense Full Moon with Mars there.  Things go deep.

MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT - SUNDAY, MAY 22, 2016 - 9:20 am ET/1:20 pm UT - Mercury finally sling shots forward again, enabling things to progress.  Mercury stations direct at the degree of "a man with a rakish (tattered) silk hat muffled against the cold braves a storm."  End of storm.

And this is the end of this very long report.  Hang in there, everyone.  The magic carpet ride is getting interesting!

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust; magical

Moon in Libra

Aspect of the Aeon Sophia (Wisdom): all

Aspect of the Aeon Thelete (Will/Desire): all

Skill: persevere

True Alignments: talent within, rising above, having a parachute, ploughing on, sharing, second chances, the right reasons, celebrations, deeper understanding of something, revitalized, romantic, chivalrous, prophetic, secure

Catalysts for Change:  greedy, deceptions/delusions/denial, superficial or surface concerns, numb, sad, lethargic, lost, self-loathing, suppression of emotions and expression, domination, misguided, settling for less or whatever is available, the wrong reasons

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

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

"The king of the fairies approaches his domain."

Welcome to the first day of the Gibbous Moon phase, the phase before the Full Moon and the time of the lunar cycle when magic is afoot.  This Gibbous Moon phase, the Aeon of Will and Desire, Thelete, cometh.

We might call what transpires today magic, but it is actually energetic frequencies at work.  The frequencies are rather magical.  It is a mighty day.

The Earth is discharging the archetypal energetic of "the king of the fairies approaching his domain."  In an expansion on the Gnostic teachings, the King of the Elementals would be Thelete, the partner of the Sophia, the Aeon of Wisdom, who is currently in physical construct as planet Earth - Gaia Sophia.

This report is departure from tradition al reports, so if you do not follow the Gnostic part of my work, please read the True Alignments and Catalysts for Change for the fundamentals of today's energetics.

This report is a report about the ELEMENTALS of today's energetics.  A heavenly exchange is occurring today.  At other levels of consciousness, the Archons will be the recipients of a tremendous "wave" that sets them back, pushing them closer into re-integration with their source -- Gaia Sophia.  The shadow side undergoes a degree of reintegration.

Thelete and his emissaries (the Knights of Sophia) lead a grand collaborative effort with Sophia and her emissaries (the Mahavidyas, the Wisdom Goddesses), and a contingent of the fellowship of humanity (anyone awake and wise to it).  Today, Thelete and Company push back.

What's asked of us is two fold:

1- TRUST.  Gibbous Moon phases ask us to trust.  In what do you trust?  It does not have to be related to anything written here.  It's the ability to do it.  It is an elemental spiritual function.

Can we trust that life is evolving out of tyranny over the heart, body, mind, and soul?

If you knew the outcome was a win, would it make the effort easier or, shockingly, more fun?  Would it be an adventure instead of a battle?

Would your attitude or perspective change?

Venus discharges the energetic of "a white dove flying over troubled waters," one with which we are very familiar lately.

Mercury discharges another one we have experienced a few times recently: "a man with a rakish (tattered) silk hat muffled against the cold braves a storm."  Troubled waters and cold storms are turned on the Archons today.

2- PERSEVERANCE -   Since the Archons are generally clinging on to humans to some degree, we feel the energetics, too.  We are asked, once again, to practice the skill of perseverance.

At a higher level of understanding, shadows are returning from where they came.  It is a good thing, a happy thing.  It does not necessarily feel good when it is happening.

If we can change our perspective -- radically -- toward the celebratory energetic that would be felt when the "king of the fairies approaches his domain," we can experience today much differently.

We can return home, in our hearts.  We can feel assured.  We can feel safe.

The Aeon Thelete speaks.  "All is well."

Calling all wise owls...

First Quarter Moon Phase: step forward

Moon in Virgo/Libra 1:32 pm ET/5:32 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:  look at something a different way and then try a different way

True Alignments: hidden talents recognized, clear indications, success and achievement, wisdom, respect and care for elders, acknowledging capabilities, building morale, integration or reintegration, capable, happy memories, changing perspective

Catalysts for Change:  things that are automatic or not thought out, feelings of superiority, selling out, underestimating self and not recognizing skills, being demanding, pompous, hyper-critical, poor loser, dismissing other's ideas before consideration, devaluing

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)

The Sun, Mercury, and Venus often travel together through the same sign of the zodiac at the same time.  Right now, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus are trailing through Taurus in tight succession.  This means that the same energetics are activated and then re-activated, as these planets pass through the degrees, one by one.  Specific themes stay in play, as each of these planets contacts the specific degrees and their associated energetic (as encoded and described by the Sabian symbols).

Mercury is retrograde until May 22, and as it does so, it goes back to re-do, rework, revise, re-think, and re-work situations, so repeating themes are common.

Today, Venus wants to make sure we get the picture about something (see something important that we may have overlooked, ignored, or disregarded).  Venus reaches the degree of the "moving finger points to significant passages in a book."  Something in the external world intervenes to help us see anything that needs to be taken into account or put on the table for consideration. 

Mercury activated this energetic on May 7 & 8 and the Sun activated it on May 10.  Today it is Venus' turn.

This means that the recognition and revision focuses specifically on Venusian issues - relationships, comfort, beauty, money, love, nature, the feminine, and satisfaction.  We see things we missed before.

The ability to go back in time, so to speak, and make things better for the present and future is the blessing of retrogrades.  All of the energetics involved with this particular retrograde amplify this blessing.

The feelings of wanting to be "unstuck" and wanting things to move forward become quite strong the closer Mercury comes to stationing direct (or appearing ot move forward once again).  The sling on the slingshot is reaching its maximum stretch backward, creating tension.  We will need to deal with this as May 22 gets closer.  The slingshot forward will come with a burst (and a relief).

There's a hitch in this, and it is, of course, the Black Moon.  May 22 is a big day not just because Mercury stations direct, but also because the Black Moon moves into a new sign. The Black Moon will move from Libra into Scorpio.  The day a planet enters a new sign (and it takes about 9 months for the Black Moon to do so), is always a powerhouse.  We have two powerhouses going that day.

But today the Moon itself enters Libra, joining the Black Moon in Libra for THE LAST time this go around.  The Moon will enter Libra today at 1:32 pm ET/5:32 pm UT, and it will transit through Libra until Thursday, May 19 at 2:30 am ET/6:30 am UT.  This period of time will be exceptionally intensive, with shadow sides (core fears) coming up to be seen, re-worked, and re-done.  It is a rebirth of great importance.

Issues related to our self-esteem and senses of self-worth, perfectionism, identity, and belonging are highlighted.

With this, today the Sun is discharging the energetic of "an Indian woman selling beads."  The dynamic is about not selling ourselves or others short.  It's about seeing true value, not the value imposed by superficial sources.  We also see the value of our time and energy when this symbol is in effect.  If what is being offered to us is valuable, the counter-offer should be generous, in kind.

The Earth is discharging the energetic of "a military band marches noisily in the streets."  Big shows and loud announcements can give us a headache today.  Rhetoric, beating war drums, trying to stir up trouble, and keeping things in dis-equilibrium is a tactic of the military-industrial-occult complex.  We rise above the ruses.

For those with the Sun, Black Moon, or Chiron in Aries or Libra, this pass of the Moon through Libra hails the end of the journey through the underworld to face oneself and be "reborn."  The things that limited or held one back have tried to break loose and fall away.  The Black Moon seeks to free us from the chains that bind us to the past, to our old ways, and to the fears that keep us repeating the same patterns over and over again.  It seeks to stem or eliminate our downfalls.  The Black Moon is truly a guiding light, but it rarely feels that way.  Relief is on the way, wise owls.  May22 approaches.  We endeavor to see it through with grace.

To assist, here is the breakdown of this last round of the Moon and Black Moon in Libra:

MONDAY, MAY 16 1:32 pm ET/5:32 pm UT:  Moon enters Libra(Black Moon Days in effect -- days when people's fears and shadow sides surface)

WEDNESDAY, MAY 18 11:22 am ET/3:32 pm UT:  Moon opposes Uranus (change that is often radical, surprises, accidents that later reveal a silver lining)

THURSDAY, MAY 19 1:58 am ET/5:58 am UT: Moon conjuncts Black Moon (most intense time of this transit, shadow sides come out in major ways)

THURSDAY, MAY 19 2:30 am ET/6:30 am UT:  Moon enters Scorpio

Until then, things could get very noisy, very dark, and very ugly.  People will tend to lash out and speak before thinking, project their own feelings onto others, and seek scapegoats.

We will do this a different way, a wiser way.  Since we know that rebirth is the theme, we step aside and let the energy work in its own way.  Can we do it gracefully?  Absolutely.  That's the goal.

See you tomorrow for the start of the Gibbous Moon phase, the magical time of the lunar cycle.

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

Moon in Virgo

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

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

Skill: glide with the currents of change

True Alignments: enthusiastic, aiming, taking an opportunity, feeling at home, feelings safe, adjusting, innovation, quick reflexes, recognition, trusting in Spirit

Catalysts for Change: accepting less than one should, coming in and taking over, unsettled, deceptions, unease, homesick, damaged ego

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)

Did you becoming enlightened to something yesterday, with the Sun and Earth activating Chiron?  Did you see and learn something about yourself?

As mentioned in yesterday's report, events, circumstances, conditions, developments, possibilities (and the insight gained from these things) was activated to clear a path -- to gain clarity, solid foundation, definitiveness with something in our lives.

Yesterday's report also discussed how the insight would start out as personal, but then would fan out to produce changes in our personal lives (which in turn produces changes in the world and changes in our experience of life as the fellowship of humanity).

The fanning out begins today -- air currents on which on our "magic carpets" glide. 

We might say an intelligent Source, the Divine Force of Wisdom, guides the course.  How aware and collaborative we are with it is up to us.  The desire to know and understand is all that is needed.  The process is happening to everyone, whether one is cognizant and engaged with it or not.  Engaging it is a great adventure because life becomes richer, deeper, and more vibrant.  Life is more colorful and enjoyable.

So, with that backdrop, things begin to fan out and change.  Today, an "acceleration" of sorts is implied with Venus making its way to the degree of "wisps of clouds, like wings, streaming across the sky."  It's time for something to fly.  Time to see what's "on the wind."  Time for new opportunities.  Time to glide.

The speed of things may require very rapid adjustment or acclimation.  The Earth is discharging the energetic of "Indians making camp in new territory."  This can also bring issues with invading (personal or geopolitical) space, territory, or limits.

The Sun is discharging the degree of "a Spaniard serenading his senorita," telling us that action may be needed.  A situation may arise where we just have to take a chance and do the best we can. This energetic is more about taking action when the outcome is uncertain, moving beyond the fear of rejection because we don't know until we try.

Acceleration, adjustment, and action are streaming us along the magic carpet ride today.  Let's glide.

First Quarter Moon Phase: take steps; take action

Moon in Virgo

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

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

Skill: gain deep insight

True Alignments:  heightened creativity, orderly, clarity, layers and depths, restructured, beginnings, respecting privacy, finding missing pieces, productive, working together, seeing the benefit of things

Catalysts for Change:  uncooperative, not taking others into consideration, violations of privacy, self-sabotage, feelings of failure, picky, tricks/ruses, feeling closed or boxed in, self-centered, sharpness, criticism, surface appearances and fakeness, battles behind the scenes

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Month: "a symbolic battle between swords and torches"

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

Saturday's energetics can be monumental in the insight that they bring.  This is primarily insight of a personal nature (personal growth).  Insight about other things comes after the personal understanding.  We begin to adjust things according to what we newly understand.

On Saturday, the Sun and Earth are activating Chiron.  The energetics involve cleaning up, clearing out, rectifying, cutting away, purging, releasing.  You might say our lives are being manicured, as the Sun is discharging the energy of "a well-kept public park."  It endeavors to fix things up and make them "spiffier" (which in our terms means a richer experience of life, liberty, and happiness).

The Earth is discharging the Sabian symbol of "an x-ray photograph."  Sabian symbol writer Lynda Hill describes this precisely with the term "penetrating insight."  We see straight through things to the core of them.  Many things are revealed when a planet comes to this degree of the zodiac.

The Sun and Earth are making aspects with Chiron, which is located at the energetic of "the purging of the priesthood."  Chiron is the healer of wounds and the teacher of knowledge, which in combination brings about wisdom.

Venus shines brightly on Saturday, discharging "a new continent rising out of the ocean."  Once again, we are blessed with the potential for epic possibilities for the future.  What is arising from emotional depths?  What seeks manifestation in your life?  What is sparking?

The beautiful potential of this day is worthy of a stand-alone report -- one that is not within a combined weekend report.  One day at a time, one step at a time, one thing at a time today.  Keep in mind the first two paragraphs of this transmission:

Saturday's energetics can be monumental in the insight that they bring.  This is primarily insight of a personal nature, relating to the growth of our souls.  Insight about other things comes after the personal understanding as we adjust to what we understand.

Have a monumental Saturday, wise owls!

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

 Moon in Leo

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

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

Skill:

True Alignments:  liberty, leadership, admiration, respect for boundaries, prepared, integration of new insights and information, synchronicities, new approaches, spiritual inspiration, shining stars, abilities and efforts recognized

Catalysts for Change:  control issues, conflict over territory, difficulties with interpersonal relationships and communication, aggression, violations, naïve, propaganda, ruthlessness, base level instincts and impulses, cutting someone down, not listening, domination

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

Sabian Symbol for the Solar-Lunar Year: "the magic carpet of Oriental imagery" (transcending the outworn ways, beliefs, and feelings of the past)

If you missed yesterday's report and the Friday the 13th energetics portended today, it remains posted below.  Adding to that, here are other things to keep in mind:

1- GETTING A MESSAGE OR INFORMATION - The conjunction of Venus and Mercury (which is retrograde) attempts to deliver something important to us.  Since Mercury is retrograde, the message or information may come about due to something going "sideways."  If we can hold judgment, the insight we need is available.  Communications may become muddled or confused.  Patience is required with this type of astrological aspect.  The conjunction occurs at the degree of the New Moon in Taurus, our current lunar cycle, with the accompanying Sabian symbol of "a symbolic battle between swords and torches," so things are coming to light.  It is an aggressive dynamic, and, in this case, can prompt sharp tongues and ugly words.  We want to transcend this tendency, and keep things aligned with Light.

2-   STANDING UP/CLAIMING ONE'S "TERRITORY"/CLAIMING ONE'S SOVEREIGNTY - The Sun's discharge of the Indian warrior with the scalps is paired with the Earth's discharge of "crowds coming down the mountain to listen to one inspired man."  The messages and information that seek us today provides guidance and inspiration.  Both symbols carry themes of power.  It's "take charge" energy.

3- HUNG UP OR CAUGHT UP IN A PROBLEM OR WORRY - If you mind has been on overdrive, it is a good idea to try to suspend that today, and allow a higher power to intervene.  The Crescent Moon phase ends and the First Quarter phase begins at 1:02 pm ET/5:02 pm UT.  The struggle of Crescent phase fades somewhat.  Open up space for solutions.

4- REVISIONS TO VALUES - The messages or information that the Mercury-Venus conjunction offers may change what we feel is important -- what we truly value.  Things are seen in a new light.

5- TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS/ACCIDENTS - Take extra care while driving today.  Be present.  Give wide berth.  Road rage and risky driving is prevalent.  Take your time and step aside from the fray.

We are blessed to be under Mars' dissemination of the Sabian symbol of "an old owl up in a tree."  Up in a tree, transcending what's happening at ground level, may be very wise today because the magic carpet ride will twist and turn.  We come to a new place by the end of it, but it is certainly a wild ride with these energetics.  Align with light, and in the midst of it all, remember to find beauty.

Let's reclaim Friday the 13th from the shadows of darkness.  Let's turn it inside out and make it about luck and life, not about stuck in strife.
