We are living in auspicious times! The T-Square between Saturn, Uranus and Pluto is rather fast chipping away at old structures and believes in our lives, and we just had the fireworks of a Lunar and Solar Eclipse a few weeks ago and the event of the Conscious Convergence (An event of the Mayan calendar) last weekend. All of these sign posts are helping us to understand and become really clear about our true passion for life and what it is all about.

We are asked to set our intentions and focus on contributing to others and the world we are living in. Each one of us is asked to be a vital part of the change of global consciousness, riding the exhilarating wave of higher consciousness and passion for life. You are the change you have been waiting for!

The last weekend was a poignant point in time to set your intentions for your personal growth and the changes you want to see in the world. All this is highlighted by the Full Moon in Aquarius coming weekend. A number of factors are prolonging the impact of this particular Full Moon, like Saturn re-entering Libra for good and activating the T-Square with Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto exactly on July 26. And Mars will be joining that already potent mix on July 29 with his Martian temperament. I will talk about that more in depth next week.

Sun Blazes into Leo

When we move month by month through the zodiac there is evolution happening through more inwardly directed energy alternating with more outwardly directed flow. The zodiac starts with Aries and the beginning of Spring; the waking up after Winters sleep to new life. In Taurus there is consolidation and manifestation of that life thrust followed by the light hearted Gemini exploring life in all its interesting and fascinating aspects and ideas. In Cancer we are immersed with inner life, with our emotions, our close friends and family. And then we are so ready again to step into the creative flow of our personal self expression and passion for life with the Sun in Leo.

Leo is full with the optimism of life energy, the eternal promise that no matter what life will continue in so many expressions. Have you ever seen a concrete road with a tiny crack in it and grass or another plant growing out of it? Or the tree growing directly out of a seemingly solid rock face at Big Sur? Isn’t it amazing?

This coming month with Leo you have the universal winds in your back to help propelling you forward manifesting your desires. Desires are a good! They keep us going. They inspire us to action and creative self expression. They are the motor of life!

Saturn Steps into Libra July 21

Good news for Virgos. Whatever you have been struggling with for the last 2 years will undergo a resolution and integration with Saturn finally leaving you alone. Also if you have planets in Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius you have been called to inner work and clarity with opposition or squares of the taskmaster. Saturn is not an easy transit to experience because he is traditionally challenging us to face our deepest fears, have a close look at our boundaries, tighten the belt and go to work.

But the results of Saturn transits offer us so much more clarity and wisdom then we had before we started onto this inner journey into the twilight zone. Saturn makes it all worthwhile by bringing his light and focus into the essential. Saturn reveals inner strength and dormant capacities. Virgo is the sign for looking into details, organizing ourselves more efficiently and taking better care for our health. Therefore many of you had trouble with health problems catching up with you in the last 2 years. Whatever was not supportive for a healthy balance of a healthy soul in a healthy body had to be examined and was put to the test.

Saturn in Virgo

Whatever planets you have in Virgo needed your extra attention. For example I have my Jupiter in Virgo. For me it stimulated my research and interest of the connection between the unavoidable pollution of my body because of all the external onslaught of environmental toxins like pesticides, phthalates, plasticizer, formaldehyde, xenobiotics and different health challenges of mine.

I discovered new ways to deeply cleanse and unload toxicity with my Infra Red Sauna on a daily base in combination with coffee enemas and liver cleanses. I had nutritional and hormonal tests done to determine my level of hormones and crucial vitamins and found out many deficiencies in spite of a pretty healthy life style. I don’t eat much processed food of any kind, I eat plenty of raw, I juice, I cook mellow macro-biotic and I supplement, so it came as a surprise to me that I was still deficient in Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium and Progesterone.

You need to keep in mind that with daily sweating in the sauna I was loosing extra nutrients. I was aware of that and this was the reason for me to have it checked after being two month on the new regiment.

I also discovered the books by Dr. Sherry Rogers one of the few true benefactors in the health field for many people who were able to reclaim their health in spite of incurable diseases. Her basic recipe for any kind of health imbalance or disease is to restore well being by detoxifying with the Infra Red sauna and super nourishing the body with macro-biotic. Sounds easy right? Or another icon I found was Dr. Max Gerson who did miraculous cancer healing with people already 80 years ago. Same basic recipe: detoxification in his case with coffee enemas and super nutrition with raw juices and raw food.

With my Jupiter in Virgo I discovered new dimensions in the healing arts because I needed to find out about the bigger picture of my own health. It was very self empowering because I could make changes accordingly and took charge of my own health. I found deep satisfaction and excitement in those new possibilities growing out of these insights and my expanded view.

Full Moon in Aquarius July 25

Full Moons are culmination points of your emotional journey throughout all those different inner facets throughout the month of one lunar cycle. Full Moon means the uttermost reflection of the light giving energy of the Sun into deepest crevices of your inner world. This Full Moon in Aquarius is receiving the energy of the Sun in Leo.

Sun and Moon are the yin and yang, the male and the female force, the complementing forces in life. Sun as the life giving entity is radiating the force to create life and Moon is reflecting the energy, taking it into the inner world, sustaining and nourishing life.

Sun in astrology shows your self- identity, the inner place of strength you act from in your life. Sun is representing the inner and outer male figure. Sun is your self awareness and consciousness guiding you into choices and decisions. With the Sun moving through the whole zodiac throughout the year it gives you different mental perspectives onto life and guides your process of evolution as an individual and as whole humankind.

Moon in astrology on the other hand reflects consciousness evolving through your inner digestive process of your feelings and guides you more intuitively. Emotions are often unclear and hidden from the light of consciousness and might take a while to float up to conscious recognition and acknowledgment. Moon is the archetypal mother, the inner woman or outer woman, nourishing you in her unique way of being.

The Potential of the Aquarius and Leo Opposition

I believe wherever this Full Moon is touching into your chart it will have a profound impact for your soul’s journey in these challenging times. Note in which house the Full Moon falls in your chart and which aspects it is forming to personal planet. It carries the potential for integration between your inner and outer world and your visions and dreams coming to fruition.

You are also called upon extending your goodwill to others, be a role model for your beliefs concerning change for the better, taking care for your friends and neighbors, acting from a place of oneness and connectedness, taking charge and stepping up. Become a leader for what you believe in! Be the change you want to see! Grass root movements are needed to move on into the Aquarian Age, into the year 2012 with all its prophesied changes in consciousness of humankind.

I think we all agree that the old ways driven by greedy ways of the ego for power and self-gratification won’t meet the requirement of the 21st century. Mother Earth is polluted like never before and we are poisoning ourselves with it. The old economy is crashing and with it the old paradigms. We have to come up with new ways to organize ourselves on this earth looking beyond old tribal, ego driven survival instincts and make decisions based on the good for all.

What is needed is the emergence of a new consciousness and astrology is giving us much hope and understanding about the challenges ahead. It also gives us tools for coping. Here are two gemstones that can help you to balance and integrate the seemingly opposing forces of Aquarius and Leo.

An Aquarian Gemstone is the Aquamarine

Uranus infuses Aquamarine with some unusual qualities and a vision beyond our limited mind-set, making Aquamarine the Rebel among the gems. This is the gemstone of visionaries fighting for a better life, supporting goodness and necessary changes. It urges you to seek freedom and independence and to express your uniqueness. Aquamarine is the stone of innovators, ahead of their time in many ways. It encourages you to always question your limiting beliefs with an open mind and to be willing to grow beyond them. It can help you to find your own vision and purpose in life and the courage to live them.

This unique gem connects you with the unlimited aspect of being that is found in the ocean, symbolizing the vastness of existence, the unlimited space and horizon that you experience standing on a beach or on a boat.

A Leo Gemstone is the Ruby

The Ruby is the warrior of the heart, the knight of your dreams. It touches the root chakra and the heart chakra, helping gently but powerfully to bring energy up from the first chakra to the heart. The root chakra is your connection with the earth, your grounding, ego identity, survival instincts, anger, sex drive, and life force in general. The heart chakra is the seat of your emotions of love in all its aspects, from self-love to unconditional love. It is the site of unresolved wounds suffered in love and childhood experiences—but it is also home to forgiveness and compassion.

If you like my astrological musings I invite you to sign up for my free weekly newsletter here on my Astrological Signs Weather Report & Healing Gems Blog for a regular update on the actual universal flow in the heavens. As you can tell I am also very passionate about the abilities of the healing gemstones to help to align and balance our flow. I have even written a book about it and the connection with astrology! If you know where your challenges are, you can then take steps to support or balance yourself with gemstones, if that is something that appeals to you.

I hope you enjoyed this article, aloha and many blessings, Shakti.

Astrological fireworks are stirring the pot of the collective psyche this week. There is the Sun moving into the sign of Cancer on June 21 with the Summer Solstice. There is a Lunar Eclipse on June 26 and there is a Grand Cross also called a Grand Square happening along with it.

I read a great quote in an article by Stephanie Austin which seems to cover it: “There’s good news and there’s bad news. The bad news: Civilization, as we know it is about to end. Now, the good news: civilization, as we know it, is about to end.” (Swami Beyondananda)

Deep Changes Awaiting Us

I believe that we as souls have chosen consciously to incarnate into these exciting times to be part of the most outrageous changes possible. As divine creators we chose this time to live new dreams on earth after millenniums of suffering in the old Darwinian paradigm of survival of the fittest. As newer research is pointing towards survival is actually more secured for individuals as well as communities in relations based on interdependency and mutual support. This does make a lot of sense of course, don’t you think?

I also believe that the changes we are facing are mainly originating in our collective consciousness and the individual realization of oneness with each other and all what is.

Many people nowadays have had enlightening moments and experiences which have changed their lives and their perspective. You can read the book by Arjuna Ardagh called the Translucent Revolution where he interviewed many “normal” people or “wise ones” we have heard about. This is not only happening to a few of us. Many spiritual teachers like Edgar Tolle, Abraham-Hicks or Byron Katie talk and teach about the changes in consciousness and how to tune in deeper and integrate them into daily life.

Collective Wake-up Calls

In the Oneness movement we perceive the year 2012 as a highly charged opportunity to enter a new area in human consciousness. Astrologically speaking this already has been starting more noticeable last year and continues with different astrological events while we are moving towards the year 2012.

We have been talking about different sign posts for that most recent development: the T-Square, Uranus and Jupiter moving into Aries, the five oppositions of Uranus and Saturn, Saturn moving into Libra, Pluto into Capricorn and the currently happening Grand Square including the Lunar Eclipse in Capricorn. You can find those articles through my search application in the side bar under the search terms.

Where do we go with all this? Is it good news or bad news for you? Usually we get into trouble when we get caught up in a place of resistance and suffering with what is. If we are able to ride the wave it is actually exhilarating and tremendously joyful. If you try to fight your way against the tide guess who is going to win out anyway?

So the questions of most interest are how can we as individuals prepare ourselves to go with the flow of the moment and keep our head above the tumultuous waters. And how can we be a force for good instead of part of the problem?

Astrology Is a Way to Raise Your Consciousness

I truly believe in good preparation. A hundred percent of preparation usually gives you excellent results if it concerns a speech you have to give, an article to write or any other project on the level of doing on the physical level of manifestation. But to truly achieve joyful contentment, unconditional love and true feelings of success we also need to consciously work on our state of consciousness. We need to raise our consciousness to higher levels in order to stay in the flow of creation and personal evolution. There is no standing still and remain happily ever after. Life is made up out of continuous change and impermanence.

Astrology is a very elegant way to pave the way for expanding your consciousness through a deeper understanding of the time quality of the moment, allowing you to use cosmic windows of opportunities and ride the wave joyously. If you are interested in astrology you are a person who is processing the world around you mentally for a deeper understanding of yourself and your surroundings. You like to ask unusual questions and you are open for answers coming from a field of knowledge and wisdom beyond the narrow main stream ideologies.

That is an excellent requisite for personal growth into unknown possibilities. You are more available for the universal intelligence to use you as a conduct to move along the collective consciousness. Your personal changes will impact the bigger picture and do change the world! This is your personal power! You can be the change you want to see in the world! Having said all this let us have a look at the above mentioned constellations:

Summer Solstice: Sun Moves into Cancer

June 21 or 22 depending on where you are on the planet marks the Summer Solstice and this is the longest day of the year. Most people in the Northern Hemisphere love this energetic time of year, when they can enjoy the light and the outdoors until late in the evening. Summer is at its high point and we feel nourished by life, full and energized and uplifted by the exposure to lots of sun energy.

Cancer is considered a feminine water sign. All life on Earth depends on water, and all land animals, including humans, are thought to have originated in the oceans. So Cancer is closely associated with giving life, and hence motherhood and a protected family environment.

The personality of Cancer people is fluid with a broad range of personal traits all based in the rich inner emotional landscape. Home and family are always an important theme for this sign, for both men and women. They make loving, protective parents and family values are highly important.

They are also very generous, giving people and often find ways to express their nurturing nature in the healing and caring professions. They tend to be ruled by their roller coaster of emotional ups and downs. They can also be quite artistic and make good artists, actors, and musicians.

There is a fullness and richness associated with Cancer. Sun and water together are essential to fuel life and make it even possible to thrive on this planet. Without neither of these energies there would be no life.

It is the time of the year to give and receive out of the abundance of life and creation. It is a good time to revel in the goodness of life and find ways to expand it in your personal expertise of self expression.

Capricorn Lunar Eclipse

On June 26 we have a Lunar Eclipse, which is a Full Moon covered up by the alignment of the Sun and earth in relation to the Moon. This happens every 6 month and interrupts the normal galactic cosmic flow of energy reaching us. It facilitates change and reconfiguration of consciousness big time. And it works on a very subconscious level beyond your conscious mind and screening system. Be open for some surprises this week and time coming. It sets the tone till the next Lunar Eclipse in half a year.

This Lunar Eclipse is very significant beyond the usual because it is so shortly after the Solstice and because of the involvement in the Big Square participated by Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury, all within 5 degrees of the four cardinal points. (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) This will greatly intensify all the individual qualities and demands inherent in each sign and planet heralding a crucial turning point in human history.

I like the way Stephanie Austin describes it: “The Jupiter Uranus conjunction in Aries awakens, emboldens, and spurs us to see and do things differently. The Sun and Mercury in Cancer sensitize us to our real feelings and needs. The Moon and Pluto in Capricorn demand that we be responsible and claim our power, while Saturn in late Virgo drives us to focus on what is most necessary and feasible.” (Article in The Mountain Astrologer, issue 151)

Maybe it is all about a balance between your heart, integrating your mind and your emotions connecting deeper with your eternal, divine soul. For me it seems to be about trusting my own inner guidance system which leads me through good or bad feelings. Maybe it is all about trusting that guidance and learning to find relieve from bad feelings moment to moment. Life has a way of confronting us with areas we still have resistance and unresolved business. But we cannot really go wrong in this endless dance of an ever changing existence. We will never be done or finished with our process. So why not enjoy the ride?

I love the work of Abraham-Hicks who is such a force for good and helping so many people with realigning themselves and integrating higher consciousness into their daily life. Their book The Amazing Power of Intent is designed to help you with that reinvention of yourself and might be helpful for your process. And of course there is always your own inner connection with higher wisdom and consciousness available to you through tuning in with meditation and contemplation.

Aloha and many blessings, Shakti.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!

This week Venus sets the tone with changing into the sign of extravagant, expressive Leo and a favorable aspect to Jupiter is enhancing her pleasurable intentions and personality. Also we have a tight conjunction between Jupiter and Uranus in the beginning of Aries starting a whole new round of evolution.

Venus the Goddess of Love and Beauty

Venus has been celebrated through the ages as the goddess in charge of love and relationships. She has been seen as the patroness of lovers and couples helping them to open their heart and allow it to flower. You can look at your ability to love unconditionally as a hint of where you are in your personal journey towards oneness and a higher state of consciousness.

So what Does Love Really Mean?

Is it just a feeling? Does it mean if I love somebody I have to like him really well and always?

Our family of origin usually has a way to put this to the test. How do you deal with your family, the love you have for them and the obstacles and disagreements? Like the situation in my family I am facing is that I love my brother but I detest his actions in the moment. What do you do with situations like that? Can you still stay in your heart?

If I love somebody from the other sex (if I am hetero) does that mean I have to be in a relationship or married to that person?

For me it was a big revelation in my twenties when I had fallen in love with this beautiful man I really wanted to be with. But it turned out he wasn’t in love with me the same way and that fact didn’t really make a dent into my feelings. I realized the first time in my life that loving a man does not necessarily mean I have to be in a relationship with him. So we embarked onto a deep friendship that has survived many years.

So obviously love does not have to take a certain form and might actually surprise us.

Love is a State of Consciousness

In my experience love is a state of consciousness where I feel in a state of oneness and not so limited by apparent differences. I recognize myself in the other. I feel uplifted, grateful, abundant, joyful, generous, at peace with what is, tolerant, respectful and appreciative towards that person in my life. In a way this is even better then being loved by somebody.

Somebody might adore and love you but if you don’t return the sentiment, it doesn’t do much for you right? But if you feel your love overflowing that is definitely a high. And of course it is pretty special to be able to experience the reciprocity and mirroring of love back to you.

Venus Enters Leo June 14

With Venus moving through a new zodiac sign around every 19 days we get a chance to experience different facets and aspects of our heart and the growing ability to love and connect with others. With Venus in Leo we might feel more self assured in social situations and care less about how much others like or love us.

As a child we are utterly dependent on our caretakers to love us and therefore take care for our survival. I think that is the reason why love which belongs ultimately to the heart chakra is so connected with deep seated anxious feelings of survival and therefore related to the first chakra as well. I was always amazed about the tremendous amount of pain I would feel breaking up with a boyfriend even after a relatively short time of being together. For me it seemed like that every separation was touching the ultimate pain of separation from God, but also from mother, my first big love, my first husband, or my brother.

With Venus in Leo we can feel pretty solid and stable within ourselves without being so dependent onto the reactions of the other as the object of our love out there. This month can be a time for you to open yourself for experiences of unconditional love and the power and fulfillment in that. The Venus in Leo is the queen who feels utterly in charge of her destiny. Of course she is worthy of love and admiration. Of course she deserves to be adored and deeply loved. Of course she is in the flow of love, generous and abundant. This Venus is playful and affectionate with others. She is showing up as the powerful, creative, sexy and loving mentor she can be.

Jupiter Uranus Conjunction in Aries

Jupiter and Uranus are within the first degree of Aries. The first degree of Aries has the strongest initiative and fiery energy to begin something anew and supports our discrimination and decision making focus, our fierce expression of will power and action steps towards our new destination. Both planets will start us into a new level of freedom and visions for a different way to live with each other on this planet. We are again presented with the theme of deep transformation as a society through the big T-Square between Uranus opposition Saturn squaring Pluto throughout the year. Change and transformation is in the air and truly needed.

As devastating and bad as the oil spill has been and rightly upsetting us, it seems it will also help towards a changed responsibility and hopefully a radical new attitude concerning our planet in peril. It seems like throughout history as humans we always needed a profound amount of pain and threatened survival to change and grow into higher levels of consciousness. We are living in exciting times and we can make a difference as individuals through our own process of waking up into a higher consciousness and a different way of action from that individual place of influence.

Jupiter is always concerned with the bigger picture and the deeper meaning and value of life. Uranus is the visionary and rebel who spearheads new evolution in consciousness and carries the potential of the New Man or Woman. Both planets in the first degree of volatile Aries might confront us with other severe and frightening events eventually stirring us towards a New World.

Venus in Trine to Jupiter Uranus Conjunction

And for your personal quest with Venus this month both planets will deliciously fuel your passion and joyful expansion of your heart. Unconditional loving from a true place of abundance and self love is the icing on the cake. Instead of gobbling it all down on your own, you can have a big party with your loved ones and share the sweetness and joy with your friends. Generosity is applied love in action. When we feel generous we feel rich and happy to share.

How about Generosity in Your Life?

Do you think you are generous? How do you see yourself?

Generosity and love can flow into two directions. You can apply it towards yourself and find ways to truly love yourself despite all the dark corners and wounds only you know about. You can work on yourself to find peace with the trauma and damage you might have experienced in your childhood. You can heal your inner wounds and grow through them. I have met amazing people who have become shining beacons of love and wisdom, coming out of tremendous trauma and drama in their childhood or later in life. Remember Nelson Mandela who is a shining example of the indestructible human spirit. It is truly amazing what the human spirit is capable off.

And you can let the love flow out into your life and touch people around you. Be generous with yourself, with your time and your skills. Share your wisdom, knowledge and expertise which are just your own unique brand of humanness. Find a way to volunteer and share and I promise you will feel magnificent!

This is a great month to deepen your ability to love unconditionally and see your own reflection consciously and appreciatively in others.  Keep your focus onto the appreciation of our oneness and sameness as humans and make your choices accordingly. We are living in extraordinary times and it is in your personal touch, in your power and your hands to make the world we are living into a little better place. I always will love the song by Jack Johnson and Ben Harper called: MY OWN TWO HANDS. Don’t miss it, it catches the energy of the moment.

Beginning of this week I have written a post about the bigger picture and a more global use of astrology to explore the major changes in society we are facing. Today I want to give you the chance to read a newsletter of Bill Herbst I enjoyed about his astrological point of view for the next 10 years. He looks at the outer planets constellations with the T square I have been talking about as well as the Grand Square in relation to the chart of the US and compares the 1930s to 2010s and the Big Depression.

It is a little more technical then you are used to with my writing, but I think it gives a great overview. Consciousness is the key for change and alignment with what is happening. I believe strongly that this is what we all have signed up for. We incarnated to be part of a revolution of consciousness and we are in the middle of its unfolding. The much talked about raise in consciousness in the year 2012 is also just a part of the bigger picture. And my mission is to help you to deepen your understanding and find tools and ideas available for you to ease the transition into the new for you personally.

I am curious to hear back from you how you liked Bill’s article and what your thoughts are about those earth changes.

Enjoy and have fun, aloha and many blessings, Shakti.
