Some fullmoon.

It has been hectic lately, but a lot of fun. Mars in Sagittarius joining forces with the Sun has made sure that every moment has been used for something that is moving. If you are one of those who has experienced the phenomenon we could label "time-stand-still", then clearly, something is out of order, and you should seriously consider getting a life outside of routine. These last weeks has been for the adventurer in us all, and it is not stopping now, by all means. We are heading for fullmoon.

Saggy energy is all about exploring and expanding, and it has a rather wild side to itself, which is especially good for the vitality and could really boost your energy..But you have to dare to be bold and shameless . This is a straight from the liver type of energy, thus many a truth can come bursting forth without you not even noticing. Until it is too late , off course..Calmly laugh it off by making a joke or two about yourself, and the mishap will be going down in history as not-too-well-placed joke. Better that, than an insult. These coming few days will be fullmoon-days. Especially the first 24 hrs where the moon is waxing to become full is especially auspicious. The energy normally runs very high around when the moon is showing off her full beauty , and this coming one is not your average fullmoon either, it is , in lack of a better word, intense. It can greatly affect your nervous system, so be sure that you don't glide over emotions or worries , but process according to demand. Otherwise you might find yourself grinding teeth all night long, or even worse, not sleeping at all. It is indeed a fullmoon that can be very inspiring on many levels, it could be filled with new visions for the future, both conserning work, health and politics. It is a day to follow your soul impulse and let your personality be what it is, an instrument for a greater energy.

The esoterics and the tibetans use the fullmoon as a booster to get in touch with the soul, and it is belived that during the fullmoon , the soul will be available for conscious contact. When the soul ascends into your personal emotional, mental and physical being, it can overstimulate the blockages that you have and create a day with emotional chaos or with a feeling that you really need to work on some issues to be able to have a good life, a full life. It is like your shadow comes alive and starts showing off in front of you. Which can be a very educating experience, cos you have the oppurtunity to work on old patterns and release them, but which will very much be felt like something unpleasant. Facing your shadow, well, not so fun maybe and I guess this is why so many people avoid this and then rather become real lunatics , especially around fullmoon. I am certain that this is why the legend of the warewulf was born out of the collective psyche.

As a final warning before you head off into the jungle to meet your inner Tarzan. Allthough it is a great time to explore your wild side, don't do it while you are tipsy and on the way home from a social gathering. These are unpredictable energies that can be accident-prone. We have had this conjunction between mars and the sun for two weeks allready and it will all be intesified during this fullmoon. So take care, breath with your stomack and take time out to meditate or do whatever neutralises your extremeties.
So wishing you a great journey through fullmoonland-and-may you find your treasure.

Scorpio.

The sun is again crossing into the sign of Scorpio, a sign of heigths and depths, of drama and intesity, of hunger and desire, of the instinctual mind and the strong ability to sense. It is a dimension many feel uncomfortable with, cos it is so good damn confronting. Scorpios sense and confronts. So it can be a really revealing time, where issues from the subconscious emerge with the power of ten horses . It is a most learning experience though, you get to know yourself from a deeper level, and really understand what motivates your actions. What emotions triggers your growth? Isn't it a feeling of lack that takes us to the next level ? When you appear to lack a quality, your strive to transform , so that you can integrate a potential into form, and thus become more than you were yesterday. Stronger. More.
Maybe there is something in those famous words "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" . A Scorpio must have written that one, I am certain of it.

We have had Venus and Mars in Scorpio for a while, and whereas Venus has allready crossed into Sagittarius, we will have Mars and the Sun fuelling up the Scorpio engine for another month.
And if you thought that the economy had hit rockbottom, think again, there is more to come.
The big collaps of -29 had similar astrological signatures as we have for the present moment, Mars in Scorpio touching the nodal axis, thus making it stronger. The first real hit of this economical crises came when Venus in Scorpio squared the nodal axis , shaking us with news of Iceland going bankcrupt. Now, during the course of the coming days, Mars will be where Venus was, and take us back into the lacks of our current economical system. It has apparent lacks, lacks that people are not willing to face due to greed and fear. But Scorpio is relentless in that sense, if you don't want to face it, you have to..There goes the story of cathartic Pluto and the symbolic lava that pours forth when the pressure is too much. It burns the lot, but creates new ground for growth.

And in the meanwhile, we better do what Neptun on the nodes tells us, face the Truth of it all.
This system we have created, each and one of us, with our thoughtforms and desires. And maybe you are not a part of it directly, and try to not be a part of the astral movement of the Dark Age , but then you need a good cave, this is how merged together we are.You will still have to work a lot to free yourself from the collective thoughtforms that spread through us like fires.

Remember though, that in times like these, there is a good opportunity to break free from old patterns of fear, and release your awareness into a higher realm, where all this that goes on in people, between people, ceases to control you.

A crises is always a point of opportunity.

Seems like we really need Saturn in Virgo these days, where our ability to sustain ourselves is being cultivated. How do you heal yourself? How do we let go of the darkness?

I say it again, we have only this moment, this moment is all, all that is, is this moment. You are this moment. Kind of liberating.

We get fragments .

Enjoy this one too..

With courage of a true Scorpio, let's face the challenges of building a more functional world together.

I let you in on a little secret that is not a secret ; The only requirement for mastery is Courage...and the only requirement for courage is Love..My super-capricorn friend, Runi, pointed this out so eloquently.

A nice reminder..

Let's love...

Stability

It has been a rough week, due to intense planetary contacts, and the bombing in Pakistan is again another reminder of the collective forces that are stirring in people.
Especially vulnerable are we in our astral dimension, the place of our emotions. Show me the person who has mastered the art of true neutralisation, who is really above it all and I will run over and ask "how do you do it" . What is the Secret? When do we start to have our gravitational pull to a higher dimension, where clarity reigns and suffering ends? When are we liberated from the push and pull of astral forces.? So much trouble and disease are due to either indulgence or suppression of the emotional body and therefore, in our culture, we need to take extra care to understand the inner workings of our mental-emotional plane.

Allthough Saturn hasn't been too strong lately, it is always there, and now, more than anytime, we could certainly need a little dose of this Master. Saturn in Virgo, which we have for the moment, is about management of our inner, as well as our outer life. It is currently trining and ruling Jupiter in Capricorn, enlightening us in the realm of stability and productivity. Without a certain astral stability, there is no way that you will be efficient nor productive. Without a certain stability, your creativity might ebb and flow with the moon. You will find exuses for not being inspired, exuses for not creating. Saturn-Jupiter in these two earthsigns grounds us, takes us into the physical realm, and teach us about the art of manifestation.Makes us understand that we need to discipline our minds in order to create stability.
This last week might have been challeging on the astral realm of both you and me, so I thought it was due time to introduce you to one of the esoteric pearls that I stumbled upon before Sun-Pluto hit the fan.

This is taken from esoteric astrology by Alice Bailey, and it is indeed a gem and a brilliant insight into the true nature of our dear Saturn:

"Amid the whirling forces, I stand confused.
I know them not, for, during all my past, they swept me
up and down the land wherein I moved, blinded and unaware.
From place to place and point to point, they drove me up and down
the land and nowhere was there rest.
I know them now and here I stand and will not move
until I know the Law which governs all this movement
up and down the land. I may revolve and turning face
the many different ways; I face some wide horizons
and yet today, I stand.
I will determine for myself the way to go. Then onward I will move.
I will not travel up and down the land, nor turn in space.
But onward I will move. "

Saturn is the Law. Or the Laws of the Universe. Not the manmade laws only, but the ones that are in effect in our Creation, the essential keys of Life itself. If man understands the Laws, he will merge with Higher intention and the ebb and flow will stabilize. Saturn checks on us to see if we get this point in our own lives, and if we ourselves , are willing to take on the task of creating the understanding of the Lifeforce. Which can be quite humbling, but very effective. :)

Have a sweet evening..
Many blessings.

Vacation overload

I never thought I would say it, but finally my vacation is near its end. Phew! Vacation can be hard, allthough I am very happy it happens in the month of Cancer and Leo, the more playful signs of the Zodiac. The focus is simply enjoying life, understanding the necessecity to breathe in and nourish the Soul. And the planets has been crossing the nightsky without me noticing, nor blogging about it, vacationmode is its own little bubble, mostly protected from the movements in the sky.

But there is a limit to everything , and a few days ago, Venus crossed into Virgo, pushing the work-button, the party is over. Soon, Mercury will join and makes sure you put into practise whatever paritcular task you have at hand in order to realise your potential. According to my father, a survey done amongst the elderly , posing one question : "what did you reget in your life" reavealed that most of them regetted not working more. Work develops us, it is a creative playground for us, it makes us stronger, if the attitude is right. In our society, we have a tendency to critizise and fight almost everything, and I do not think that it is a surprise that auto-immune illnesses are popping up everywhere, the internal battling is really coming to the front. This battle is fought also with our jobs, and to tell you the truth, each and one of us is beyond compare. We are all unique, not something the competitive Dash Parr of the Incredibles was too enthusiazed to hear when his mother said : "but Dash, we are all special". He replies rather dryly : "That is the same thing as saying that none of are special" and he has got a point. Having a job that doesn't fullfill your thirst for life is a though challenge. Leo, where the Sun currently resides, is the sign of self-actualisation. On a more spiritual level it is important to understand that this has nothing to do with "fame and glory". That is the Ego-desires operation. Which is ok, but can be quite draining to the more spiritually inclined individual. The Sun operates then on a different level, it brings forward another dimension, making us understand that true success is the ability to enjoy life, without anything special, nothing external to make us feel good. Hard to achieve maybe, but certainly possible. Joy for no apparent reason. Living life without making demands all the time. Such bliss. Such freedom. This is the self-realisation process the Indians speak of. It is always there, heaven is always there. You can always enter.

Venus in Virgo is telling us that whatever you do, do it with dedication, with your full attention. In this way, everything , even the dishwashing, can become a blessing, a meditation, something that replenishes your energy. And Virgo is all about replenishing. This is why it is so closely tied up with health, it tells us how to use energy in order to stay healthy, and that all has a consequence. The way you think, the food you eat, the routines that you have in your life, they all make a difference. The health of the treetrunk will tell you if there will be any fruit on the branches.

Venus in Virgo enjoys work. It is grateful for service, it thrives with work. I read somewhere just recently a short interview with a doctor coming back to work after a month of vacation. He was asked about the challenges of returning to work with an overload of tasks awaiting. "Being busy, is not the same as being stressed out" he answered..That's the attitude..:)


I slept and dreamt that life was a joy I awoke and saw that life was service I acted and behold, service was joy. - Rabindranath Tagore

The moon is ripe.

The sweetness of summer is at its fullest, the forest is ripe with blueberries and the ducklings are allready fat and ready to swim alone. And the cancerian Sun makes us all feel slow and quiet. It seems like everything is moving in a calmer pace, and Mercury, our favorite neurotic, has allready been a few days in Cancer, changing his face yet another time, this time putting on his robe and chilling under a Sun that does practically nothing. Eating, resting, going for a few walks, being with family, playing with the kids, all this is the Cancerian domain. Sleeping. The benefits of good rest and the time to meditate. Summer at its sweetest.
Minor things cannot upset us for long in this state. Mars is in Virgo however, so frustrations might surface, which could very well taint out vacationmode. If you have the chance you should let it all go.

It is a time to tune in, Mercury in Gemini these last two months could easily have been a mental race that made us all feel that we have had enough of chit-chatting, cyberspacing and networking. Mercury in Cancer is another dimension entirely. What is inbetween the words is much more interesting than what comes out of the mouth. What you say and how you feel might be two different things, and you will perhaps feel much more sensitive to other people's emotions these days. This is both good and bad, being overly sensitive can overpower you , and tomorrows fullmoon might just be a reminder that we need to stay alert in the face of emotional manipulations, minor and major ones. Boundaries and taking time to really explain and go thoroughly through things might ease some of the guilt that so easily occurs when we are in contact with eachother, and especially when we perhaps feel that we hurt someone. This can be very sensitive and vulnerable energies, so stepping lightly and with compassion through this fullmoon might be adviceable.

We all carry our histories, even small children have theirs allthough we might not think about it. Taking each person as he or she is is a great challenge as we tend to project ourselves out on the world and onto people. Listening to the subtle realms is perhaps a lesson that we need to learn again and again. And knowing how to approach what we hear when we truly listen is another challenge. For how do you use the knowledge of others vulnerablities? How do we help eachother becoming more secure beings ?
To validate eachother is all well, but how do we evolve beyond neediness?

Cancer is a lesson of self-love. If we don't accept and love ourselves, we will create a battle with the world sooner or later. Before you know it an enemy has shown up on your door, challenging your sense of security. It is the true law of attraction, and if we don't master selflove, which is true selfmastery, then we wont be able to manifest in the outer world what we naturally are. It is, as I have said so many times, our inner foundation, our emotional relation first and foremost to ourselves. The child that once ran into obstacles and got cut and bruised in more than one way. The familyhistorie on re-run. This is also Cancer, and this fullmoon marks the end of the solar month of the Crab. From an evolutionary point of view, if the Cancerian lessons of selflove are well integrated, the entry into Leo can be a really creative one. From water to fire, from emoting to expressing.
This coming solar month can bring a lot of goodies in that regard, but more about that later.
For now, make sure you can honor the goddess power of both the fullmoon and of Cancer.

"The more she emotes, the less he listens, and the less he listens, the more strident and emotive she becomes" Maggie Scarf.

This might very well sum it all up.

Realignment

Mars and Saturn are becoming best buddies in Virgo these days. That is, and I quote Liz Greene, the famous astrologer, if anyone ever could become Saturn's best buddy.
He is known to be a bit stern, and a fella like Mars, wild and free and out to get things done, might feel the castrating Saturn, making sure you chew on those intiatives, checking that they are realistic. Is there a point to all your action?

Pluto retro makes a trine to these two and it furthers the tendency to withdraw and question-
Life is a constant movement in and out, and Pluto describes this impulse. Being able to gracefully let yourself go is a big challenge for ambitious people, and with the Cancer Sun soon making an opposition to retrograd Jupiter, we might feel like we are in some way simply forced to take it easy, or to focus on basic issues primarily.
All the energy is directed inwards and a low energy level, a bad back or too much to do will make us all feel a bit down. Let that be okey. Being a bit down, and accepting it, knowing that this too will pass, reflects wisdom. Life is not always fireworks and creative bliss, hungry as we are for constant reassurance that we are here.

Let someone go home all day, ill or unemployed, and you got the best way to make people feel invisible, unworthy. The Sun, Leo, is the shining light. I am here. Here. This is what I have to offer. I give it.I don't question it. I am it. If I love astrology, I am astrology. If I love music, I am music. I am the creative impulse. The solar fire.

But who are you? Many people don't know. They think they are something, and then this something changes. It is never the same light, it is always evolving. We peel off layers. The process can be frustrating, because we face the unknown.

Saturn describes the form that we take, thus it is the body. Of anything. The structures of you life. If that structure is outdated, out of balance, out of alignment, Mars will now fire the energy up so that you will feel the misalignment physically. There is no way that nature can be one constant outpouring of energy. There is a point in creation that must inhale.

Why am I doing what I am doing? Why am I here? How can I be sure that it is the right thing? Many questions, and the answer. Is there one? Well, maybe not in terms of guarantees. You might and you might not is often what you get.
And maybe you search outside of yourself to get an answer. And the same amount of uncertainty is reflected back on you. If you are clear, the answers will be too. If not, let it go, don't dwell too long on things you can't do anything about today.

Taking the action to move on further, despite the uncertainty is a brave way of living. Then you feel that this I give, it is my service. I will do my best, which is what I have to offer. And the best you can do is relative, all depending on your daily cycle. Saturn-Mars will tell you about this, especially now that the Sun opposes Jupiter. Maybe there is too much ambition?
Is it wearing you out? If it is , there is this famous medicine called ZEN. Desire=Ambition=Doing.
Doing all sorts of stuff all the time is a tireing experience. The mind is always active, thinking, worrying; am I doing enough? Did I do that right? Will I succeed?

Instead if simply being. When the answer is there, it is there. When you have no security need of having you desires met instantly, you let go, and letting go is healing. Only then is the body in a receptive mode. And when there is balance in the yang, the outpouring of energy, and the yin, the receving of energy, then there is a constant flow of Divine Creation. All you do is to let the flow be. You are making space for grace.

If there is being, there is patience. And patience means peace. So when you find peace, you will be creative. That must be why it is called "to be creative", not "to do creative" ;)
I am creative. Even when I rest. When I rest, I am creating energy. It is replenishing the system. So, there you go: Virgo-Cancer. Taking care and nurturing. The pulse of the moment. The flavour of the days to come.

Just be nice to yourself. Even though you feel like you are worthless for the day. It will change. Let yourself become receptive again. And then tomorrow you will flow through all the stuff that you have been dying to be. It is time to realign.

Much love.

Ceres and the Sun.

The Sun and a small asteroid named Ceres are joining forces together with the beforementionned Venus in Cancer. Translated to understandable lingo, that means that familyvalues, mothering energies and Divine Nutrition is on the menu. The planets cropping up in Cancer furthermore form a sextile to Saturn in Virgo these days, making sure we take it all seriously. The time to change the diet is now. Saturn will stay another two years in Virgo and during that period, people will see their lives be reorganised on all levels. It is focus on health in every dimension, through the purification of the body, the emotional body, the mind and the Spirit. The coming days will be a correction of the trail the hyperactive Gemini-energy left. Still , Mercury is lingering in the Twins, creating lots of little stuff to do all the time, you might call it "being distracted...all the time" Now ,we've had Cancer energy highlighted for some time now allready, and the need to slow down is really making headlines. These two, Gemini and Cancer will battle eachother for a while, creating a lot of stress and forcing us to readjust, to realign with our deepest core, represented by the Crab.

The Crab is a soft soul, needing lots of time, space and freedom to explore the inner realities. There, deep inside, we replenish, we nurture our Souls. To be able to let go of all the insane activity of the Mind, we need acceptance. And we need to show ourselves compassion, a virtue greater than anyone. For the art of true compassion is one that releases the inner judge, thus making the world a safer place. We will be much less judgemental of others and this again, creates an atmosphere of love and care. And this is the ultimate goal for Cancer, security. We are all aware of the subtle energies that are being played out while we are smalltalking, trying to create this security, but we end up with feeding the fear,
When you notice the fear that jumps from one person to the other, it is easy to turn the energy in any space into a safe haven, a mothering home, a place where we all can take off the though shell, release the tension and flow from our hearts.

Love is easy, all you have to do is to let go of the fear.

So give yourself the oppurtunity to nurture your inner child, love your moodiness, embrace your flaws. It will lessen the pressure on other people as well.

I wish you love. Nothing less.

Fullmoon and cancers

Today is a fullmoonday. Just like we normally experience every month. Allthough this month, there is a special vibe to it, we might just be going through some exceptionally high tides.
The ebb and flow of our emotions might just pull us into gravtiational forces that is stronger than we might be comfortable with. The fact remains that us earthlings are forever under the spell of the Moon, and in astrology, the Moon reflects our emotional nature. The lunation cycles affects our emotional nature, and we are being pulled into the intimate zones of others through the body of the moon. There, we experience life in its most personalized form.
It is a reflection of our needs, and when we get out of balance with ourselves the danger is always there that we project those needs on other people. And when someone answers to our projection, attachments are formed. That is how we keep together year after year. Ideally, we feed eachother. Sometimes when someone needs us, we need them, like with your children. We need to be needed. It is a way of finding purpose on earth.

But these dynamics can be highly distorted. Humanity's lack of inner security leads to compensatory behaviour. We find security everywhere but where we ideally should find it, we find it in our televisions, in food, in our partners, in our jobs. Which is okey, as long as the outer circumstances stay the way they are and continue to affirm us. But the moment there is a change, the moment the feeders are cut off, that moment can both challenge us and it can trigger enormous growth. People seem to shy away from this, we tend to prefer staying in our comfortzones, but when there is no more growth there, we are pushed our whether we like it or not. And then, you will have to affirm yourself, you will have to find God within yourself, in order to take the next step as a human being constantly becoming.

We all have days that we don't feel like a million bucks and when we become needy for others to be there and feed us, hold us, nurture us, when we can't seem to find it in us to do it ourselves.
It is not always easy looking in the mirror and say "I love you". We tend to be pulled into the reflection about our oversized noses or the wrinkles that disturbes the peace on our facial expression. Sometimes we wake up and we don't know how we will manage or survive. Maybe you lost your job, medical care took all your money, your car was stolen or you lost your pet.
Your life is being challenged. This is the point where you need to be awake and instead of just moving with the flow of your own emotions, indulging in them, take time to work through them instead. You will empower yourself. You will be the one that supports you, and not by denying emotions all together, no, by facing them headon, and process through them, once again clearing the field, and making you capable of being creative again.

Nothing can be denser than emotions. They can pull our heads out of the skies and into the less fun sides of ourselves. My friend would say, we are emotional animals. And we are. There is something about us humans that at first glance can seem highly contradictory, and still, it is a part of our human nature. It is what makes us feel connected to eachother. Unless we are completly blocked from our emotions, we all have it is us to empathize, we can understand and respect the time it takes for people to release whatever projection they got going on. We understand that we create attachments, and we release attachment.

A fullmoon like today is one that goes quite deep into the emotional nature of human beings, giving us the opportunity to see how each and one of us go through the creational process of emotions. Why we react the way we do, why we become defensive, or how easily we adapt to the changing environment and to different people. How much energy we spend to avoid fear. How we project and how quickly we are able to release. This breating in and out happens everyday. The tides are always moving. We are constantly in some movement, nothing ever stands still, except perhaps our fixed ideas about life. In the flush of today's movement, those ideas might have to leave you. Your ideas about emotions, your justification, your projections, maybe they all should leave, and you will see what is left. Might just be that you feel intensly liberated, because you hold the key to Creation. Creation happens in every dimension of existence.

Venus is heading into Cancer. This is the time for us to turn the attention inwards and confirm ourselves. We are emotional beings, respect that, take care of yourself and treat people around you like your equal. Go to the mirror, look at yourself with respect, your body with gratitude for carrying the sometimes heavy load of your inner being, and stream out love to every part of your being. Let us feed ourselves, so that the world can become a less starving place to live.
Abundance comes from within.

Revolution.

I might just pull out my special astro-flag and salute the World and that cunning Creator of ours, the matrix of evolution and life never ceases to amaze me. I love it. Just as Mars is about to shake its booty and really flex its muscles, Uranus comes along and fires up the skies with fireworks never seen before on this planet. These are energies that really rock. I doubt that it will be boring. They are in essence a mark of a revolution, perhaps just a subtle one, but an energychange non the less. The small changes, the small corrections, the little word you where looking for, that letter in the crossword that triggers a whole set of words. That is the energy that I am talking about.
Mars, that currently resides in Leo, has allready been quite agitated for a week or so, and we might have noticed some tension, so when Uranus joins the club and issues a special invite to Venus and that small asteroid, Juno on top of it, we might see some real relationship dramas. Mars never likes being picked on the nose, and especially so when in Leo, a sign known for it's power and the need to come forth. This is not the time for subtle language, get it out there. Let the tension go. If it has been brewing for a few weeks, just take a deep breath, and either talk to yourself in the mirror (if you have some sort of unfinished buisness with the (Wo)Man in the Mirror), or let the dog take it..No, no, just kidding offcourse. Communication is still highlighted (when will it not be?), but this time there might just be some sort of impatience with repetion that lets itself be known. Real change is wanted. How long will we keep repeating ourselves. When is enough, enough?

This is a really good time to find the solution. It is as if God itself is streaming down to you, letting you hear the subtle whisper of your own voice. Maybe will your creative talents finally be seen, Mars is in Leo, marks the time to show yourself off a bit. Yes, let that hair loose, do that particular move that is you. It is about individuation, you are you. Maybe the relationship that really needs some upgrading, is the one you have to yourself?

Some sort of revolution will be happening whether you are ready or not, most probarly you will feel a vibrant spirit moving through you as you, freeing up whatever stagnated energy that has been collected there, deep within.

And if the energy is really, really thight, well, maybe just a little bit of cosmic shocktheraphy is just what you need.

So, in-joy..As usual. :)

Tiptoeing through the wilderness

Mercury has been going in a retrograde motion in the sign where it rules, Gemini, for about two weeks allready, and it will continue the rethinking process for another week ++. We hear many rumours about Mercury retro, and some of them, yes, they are true..It is a fact that the mental energies and the left side of the brain works so hard that there is a really good opportunity to blow a fuse. It is true that computers and keys and cars behave a littlebit unusual, and that people are distant, their eyes are somewhere in the clouds as they reassess, rethink, trying to remember something they thougth they forgot, trying to forget something that they suddenly remembered.
It is true that stuff gets lost in the mail. But what is truer that anything mentioned above is the opportunity to really grow mentally. Maybe you feel like your mind is going through a purificationprocess? It will happen sooner or later as we grow more mature. Maybe you see that you drag along mental garbage, thoughts on repeat, that no longer serve you, they are just blocking your devotion to life.
You can see it in the eyes of people when they think too much. You probarly have done this before, but trying to observe what goes through your mind the minute you move around people, you realise that your mind labels everything. And labelling is a way of judging. Always the mental chatter. "Look at that dress" ..."Ohh, that was a really cute one"..." what will we have for dinner?" It is amazing how the mind can think so much, but it is also just a flow of energy, energy that moves in any direction, until it is disciplined and directed to better use..Like moving into the heart. And thus to peace..And this way you will be walking peace for other people..You will do a service to the world, just by being.
We all have this choice, but we tend not to use it. Maybe we aren't made aware that there is a choice. Most people find that letting go of thinking is really hard. A friend of mine explained it well when he said :"Just remember the love"

Letting go of thinking about all the imperfections that we see around us , is for many people very hard, because we don't have enough faith. We are taught that we should always be alert in this jungle of life, so that trouble will not come lurking up from behind and surprise us when we are not watching. One thing is being open and direct, facing problems head on, and then move into the flow again. Another thing is being ignorant , and flow artificially through drugs, dreaminess or numbness. Or, on the other side of the axis, to overthink and to worry about the minor details of life. Both these two latter options are draining to the system.
As always , the answer is in the middle..And it is green :) Just like nature. It is harmony. Drinking coffe will not take this harmony away. Eating chocolate or sleeping too little, will not take harmony away. You find your way back to the middle through every breath. It is meditating while walking, while doing your tasks, while working, while having sex.

These coming days we will have the planetoid Chiron's energy highlighted, and all this is about embracing the middleway, finding the balance that serves you, that makes you feel whole. The recipies on how to live life has to be thrown out the window. There is no need to do anything but to observe. If you feel like eating chocolate or drinking a bottle of wine and have a party on your own, do it..I know, we are afraid of going overboard, that is why we mantain so thight control over ourselves and the people we have in our lives, but Chiron is all about sensing balance, and understanding how to mantain it. It is all about listening to the body, and trusting it again. We are complex beings, and the time has come for us earthlings to align again with the power of the feminine.
The Godess accepts imperfection as life. The masculine condemn imperfection. Just think about it..Think about all the anger that the world has against that which is deemed imperfect. The Godess knows more. She is aware that we are all in the making, and that nothing in nature can be called perfect. For something to be perfect it would have to stand still.
Too bad everything in the Universe is constantly pulsating on one frequency or another. We are vibrant.

Chiron is a reflection of the wound, for those familiar with the myth, you know that he was an educated and inspiring centaur (half horse, half man), someone who was able to sublimate the raw lifeforce into compassion and acceptance. He is the symbol of the wound inflicted upon humanity through the patriarchy, namely the constant battle with human's instinctual and sexual nature. The symbolism of the beast within us that needs to be integrated.
Our connection to nature, to nature in ourselves, the power of the feminine.

So let the wild Godess soar. Feel the power of your earthconnection, let the feet walk you where you need to go. Let yourself out of the prison of the mind. In this way you will fulfill the ultimate intention of Mercury retro, to transcend duality.

New moon in Gemini

Yes, I celebrate the new moon in Gemini with my first post here on blogpost.
And what a great way to celebrate a new moon, especially one that is dedicated to understanding life's events like this one is..Gemini's are the seekers of knowlegde, mostly because knowing how things works is elementary if you want to survive in this world . The trouble is that we don't know when to stop taking in information, and the end result might be one of confusion, the system ends up overtaxed by all the tidbits and factoids that circulate endlessly.
With so much going on in media, on the web, and in your thoughts, this might be a time to seek the inner truths as well..Remembering that you have the final answer to your own life is a very empowering and uplifting message.
The intution will always guide you through the jungle and if you are aware, alert and listening, there is a great oppurtunity to toss out what you don't need and keep that which resonates within as well as without.

This newmoon however is a calling to break those mental patterns that doesn't serve you anymore.
Other elements in the sky suggests that a change of attitude is vital for further growth and that overthinking anything has never led to any good, except for those who nurture themselves on mental energy alone.
We live in our small worlds, in our particular culture, and gemini is here to create a brigde between what is known for you and what the world has to offer to complement your awareness. There might be a need to move beyond the known and see things from a totally different point of view, enhancing your ability to understand the world, and the conflicts that arise between races and cultures. If you where an alien entering this planet , you would call us all earthlings, and that is the truth, no matter how much you twist and turn it, we walk under the same sky, we all see the same sun. And within us , the same light is shining, the rest is our cultural imprinting and condittioning.

So move deeper, dive into the truth, it is a very liberating experience, the contradictions of gemini becomes a play of consciousness.
