John Wadsworth ~ Total Solar Eclipse: 13th November 2012

Kairos Astrology | November 12 2012 | Thanks, Constance

Tomorrow, Tuesday 13th November, at 10.30pm GMT, there is a total solar eclipse (visible only in parts of Northern Australia) and this is a significant moment astrologically.  A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly across the face of the Sun. It is one of the synchronicity ‘miracles’ of our geocentric perception that the Moon and Sun just happen to be appear exactly the same size in our sky, despite being vastly different in their actual size.  In an astrological chart, one can identify a solar eclipse when the new moon is conjunct with the north or south node within a few degrees.  This typically happens twice a year.  In May we had an eclipse with Sun and Moon conjunct the south node, and now they are conjunct the north node at 21 degrees of Scorpio.

Eclipses carry a powerful energetic imprint at a collective level and can be especially impactful at a personal level if they contact planets or angles in a person’s birth chart.  They focus energy and bring issues to a head.  They can be catalytic and accelerate change.    So anyone born with planets (especially Sun, Moon, personal planets or angles) between, say 18-24 degrees of Scorpio will be particularly sensitized by this eclipse.  Also, if you have planets at 18-24 degrees of the other fixed signs: Taurus, Leo or Aquarius, then the energy of this eclipse will be strong, and potentially challenging, even transformational.  If you have planets at these degrees in the other water signs, Cancer or Pisces, then the energy is likely to be more harmonious, or at least easier to integrate.

Carl Boudreau ~ The Astrology of November 2012 – for Everyone [Video + Full Text]

A Test, Really

In some respects, November is a good news/bad news month; in others, it is a Rorschach (ink blot) test. What we think we see will have a lot to do with what we get. And for a great many of us, for those who choose so, November is a portal into a new and better time.

The difficult aspects are in the foreground. The good aspects are powerful and lasting, but they are in the background. So how we come out of November, the choices we make, will depend a lot on where we put our focus.

The bad news for November is a month-long series of challenging aspects with a respite in the middle of the month. These are, as I said, very much in the foreground.

November opens with a series of astrological events bound to generate immense, all but overwhelming, confusion and frustrating delay. It closes with a series of potentially explosive aspects. A potential for radical, unexpected change and crisis pervades the month.

With two eclipses in November, the choices we make will be fateful and, realistically, irreversible.

These difficult aspects affect all of our most important relationships, from their spiritual, physical and emotional foundations to their outermost social, economic and political manifestations.

The Test

To escape the worst effects of the obvious bad aspects and benefit from the powerful, but more subtle, supportive aspects, we need to release any negativity built up over the last several years, respond constructively to November’s challenges and embrace the opportunities that are now rapidly emerging.

We’ll need to meet the challenges of November optimistically and focus on the profound, and profoundly positive, potentials now emerging.

In September and October many of us committed ourselves to a new course of action. November is a test of how clearly we understand the task we have set ourselves and the depth of our resolve to overcome the inner and outer obstacles to our goals.

For a great many of us, the challenge will be a struggle to make deep, difficult changes in important relationships so everyone can move forward, materially, emotionally and spiritually.

The Crusader: The Third Loop of Time of 2012 ~ Retrograde through Sagittarius and Scorpio

For the third time this year Mercury will appear to “reverse” his orbit and turn retrograde on the 6th November inclusive of the 26th November.

The usual advise that you read about online and in astrological literature is to hold off doing anything as you spend the time double checking your diaries for errors and omissions; making sure that there is a whistle sensor on your “about to disappear” keys; that you hold off on signing any sensitive documents and legally bound contracts; and gleefully suspend all important commercial transactions on the premise that what is about to come to pass is not full thought out and not all information has been provided; the question for me remains is this really what Mercury Retrograde is all about?

There certainly appears to be a higher concentration of communication mishaps, delays and technology outages but is the purpose of this cycle to frustrate and annoy us?

Rather than focusing on the practical implications of this cycle, after all there are myriad articles online about the 10 things you need to remember during any Mercury Retrograde cycle, I would like to again reflect on the psycho-spiritual process that is more consciously invoked during this thrice yearly cycle. But before I explore the emotional implications inherent to the invocation of the symbolism of this process I will digress slightly to describe what is actually physically happening to Mercury during the retrograde phase.

Oracle Report l  Disseminating Moon Phase – Moon in Gemini/Moon in Cancer

A relatively weak, but long-duration CME (B-7) was released yesterday and will reach us on Monday. This will tire out our bodies, so get some rest in reserve this weekend.

We will be adjusting to the energy shift of Saturn in Scorpio for a few days, but most heavily this weekend. It’s especially intense on Saturday, and it will be important to take breaks.

Scorpio energy is heavy and it is a big change from the airy feeling of Libra. You may interpret this new energy as a feeling of “lock down.” We aren’t on lock down, but the shift may bring up feelings of confusion and feeling like you either need to be going somewhere in life but you don’t know where or that you are already somewhere else but don’t know where you are. Don’t panic. This will settle out and become clearer as we acclimate.

The thing that will help is the thing that always helps: going outside and grounding/connecting yourself with the Earth. Grounding with the Earth is what will keep us sane while insanity reigns. Remember that this month we are engaging in direct conversation with the planet herself so keep the line of communication open by paying attention to nature.

Carl Boudreau ~ September 2012 An Autumn Of Decision

Carl Boudreau blog | September 1 2012 | Thanks, Minty

The Beginning of the End of Stalemate

By now we are all aware that the astrological energies have shifted. They now support constant, systemic change. Everything is changing at once and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The new planetary arrangement keeps things unstable enough to support change, but not unstable enough to cause disaster, at least not in otherwise stable situations. The changes are not simply economic or political. They are also deeply spiritual and psychological; they affect our most important relationships at a profound and intimate level.

Adding to the difficulty, since this new energy mix went fully into effect last February, no single group has gained enough power to implement coherent, guided change. Things have been turbulent and chaotic rather than changeful.

Beginning in September 2012, people will see the consequences of decisions and actions more clearly. A majority consensus will begin to grow around a particular course of action. A direction will be chosen.

Since September brings the Fall Equinox, September’s chart will set the tone for the next three months. Fall 2012 will be a season of decision and commitment.

Another Good News/Bad News Chart

In September, challenging aspects block existing pathways; supportive aspects support the growth of a majority consensus around emerging new ideas.

September’s chart pivots on nurturance issues – issues surrounding a society’s obligation to provide life’s essentials – and, in a sense, life itself – to its people. A majority consensus will begin developing around either essentially conservative or essentially liberal views, or some new, hybrid version of these two views.

There will be a collision of interests related to nurturance obligations, again. This time, events will clearly reveal the consequences of various approaches to resolving these issues. Choices will be made.

Oracle Report ~ Saturday August 18 – Sunday August 19 2012

Oracle Report | New Moon Phase – Moon in Virgo

This weekend, after a very long wait, the time has finally come for new beginnings. This is especially true if something has been sacrificed or removed from your life over the last month. Light is returning and the movement is forward, but some may have a hard time letting go. This is ok because some people have been so deeply in the dark that more time for transition is needed. It may be more gradual for some than others, but regardless it is forward movement.

New ideas, new perspectives, and new realizations are emerging. There is a strong element of self-care that goes along with all of this. Sunday’s energy is much faster and mental that it may make your head spin or give you a headache. It may generate some degree of confusion. We need to relax and gain a little more perspective until things settle out. Our energy can easily become scattered and we can become overwhelmed or immobilzed. Sunday is not a good day to make big decisions because truth is hard to make out amongst all of the information. We need to find simplicity within Sunday’s energy. But in the midst of Sunday’s energy, remember that this month is like the rainbow after a strong storm and the colors are developing.

Djwhal Khul ~ Fire Sun And Moon

Terri Newlon | July 26 2012

Djwhal Khul here. Tashi delek.

Alright. We are going to begin with a violet flame and purifying the energy field with as much violet flame as possible. Very important during this time period.

Then focus on peace. We have the Olympics going on and we have what I would call a lot of disturbances in the ethers, people specifically wanting to be very aggressive.

We’re going to end up having both the Sun and the Moon in fire signs. So while the Sun is in Leo and the Moon is in Sag, that’s going to be, again, kind of a weekend filled with a lot of fire. Personally you can use it for accomplishing things or maybe just being passionate about what is going on in the world or whatever it is.

And then of course for global reasons, we want to really put in that request for peaceful coexistence amongst all sentient beings.

That’s it. Just a very short article this week.

As always, thank you and my love to you,
Djwhal Khul

Henry Seltzer ~ July 10th Last Quarter Moon – Time of Recognition and Realization

Posted on by

Astrographs | July 10 2012

Tuesday evening’s Last Quarter Moon, taking place about a week before the mid-July New Moon in late Cancer, is traditionally a time of reassessment, when we look back to the more familiar lunation now ending and attempt to make sense of what has already gone down, as we prepare for the new cycle that piggy-backs as always on the shoulders of the past. This time in particular we are aided in this quest by the transformative nature of the Uranus-Pluto square still so very prominent in our summer skies, and by the confluence of Jupiter and Venus in aspect to that stunning combination of powerhouse outer planet energies. Since Pluto is about bringing to awareness our hidden motivations, we will all go through a great deal of soul-searching at this time, as we assess our relationships in a perhaps painful and yet still radically honest attempt at resolving some of our potentially dysfunctional patterns in this area.

Djwhal Khul ~ Psychic Protection

Terri Newlon | July 5 2012

Djwhal Khul here. Tashi delek.

Alright. Today and for this week I want to talk about “Psychic Protection” because there is quite a lot going on and you might have noticed maybe some odd dreams or maybe even just a desire to put your shields up a little more than normal.

I would say pay attention to your instinct. Intuition is being tested to see if you can obey it or how you deal with it. So there’s a lot going on, in other words.

If you like tools and things like that, whatever seems to work for you, I do have a blend created by one of the students that’s at www.SonoranLight.com, like the Sonoran desert, Sonoran Light. And there is an oral spray now as well as drops under the tongue called “Multilevel Protection”.

It works physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. So certainly psychically as well. You might find that helpful or a little easier than doing other work.

Henry Seltzer ~ A Dynamic July Of Epiphany And Turn-Around

Posted on by

Astrographs | July 2 2012

The Astrology of July features Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The primary story line continues to be that of revolutionary activity in pursuit of meaningful change, as symbolized by Uranus in square to Pluto, now slightly fading but still quite active and highlighted by the lunations of the summer months. Venus has just turned to direct motion in aspect to these powerhouse outer planets, emphasizing still further their dynamic alignment that will last through the remainder of this decade. Our desire for connection thus has its dark side now, and epiphanies equally abound. Meanwhile, Mars is about to enter the Venus-ruled sign of Libra on July 3rd – coincident and T-square to a Capricorn Full Moon conjunct Pluto – there to trine the May 20th eclipse degree and also to make an imaginative and yet problematic quincunx to flighty Neptune. The emphasis on Mars with Neptune takes us away from our mundane selves and out of this world into a shape-shifting multiplicity of points of view, and yet paradoxically has the power to bring us back into the world as more fully realized beings.

Radical transformation is thus once more in the offing as this intense summer begins. And this brings up one of the great gifts of Astrology. Without its benefit one might assume that the worst is over, but this turns out to be far from the case. We know from the repetition and the severity of these transiting positions that things will tend to get worse over the next few years before they begin to get better. We will continue to be amazed by the unending revelations that spur us on to necessary changes, both in our individual lives and in the life of the collective that surrounds us. As Pluto conspires and interacts with the social innovation symbolized by Uranus all hell breaks loose – literally. This is because in order to create a new foundation one first must destroy the old order. Destruction is never pretty, nor comfortable, but it might turn out to be entirely necessary.

Oracle Report | Gibbous Moon Phase – Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn

Today’s energy shows us that whatever we need or whatever we need to know is right in front of us. It is simple, but the tendency is to become so mired in complexity that we fail to see it. The energy also has us asking ourselves big questions about our lives and pushing us into the desire to retreat.

The way to stay on track with this today is to maintain the attitude of innocence and selflessness. Don’t personalize things. The energy is building toward a release tomorrow. Mars will finally enter Libra, where it will begin its approach to oppose Uranus and square Pluto, both at the same time later this month on July 17th. On that day, the Sun will also square Saturn and the Moon will oppose Pluto. Big eruptions in the status quo and sanity of everything with all of these planets in cardinal signs! So we need to begin to prepare ourselves for this and the way to do it today is to practice staying the course of simplicity. We know that the sure-fire way to do this is to reconnect with some aspect of the natural world around us. The skill requires only for us to stop and look – to be conscious. The Earth is what grounds us.

Today’s photo comes from www.spaceweather.com and shows a solar prominence, a huge, super-charged magenetic filament, that is dancing across the Sun. If this prominence collapses today as Mars prepares to enter Libra (to join the other powerhouse planets in cardinal signs), it is going to be felt through the intensification of today’s events. If it happens when Mars crosses the threshold into Libra, well, then we are going to need to go into crash-course wise old owl mode. The filament may not collapse at all. But, given the confluence of the electrical effects of the planets in cardinal signs, it is something to watch. I will keep up with this today and send out a message on twitter if it collapses. (You can follow me on twitter @OracleReport.) Remember the first sentence of this report: whatever we need or whatever we need to know is right in front of us.

Dorene Carrel ~ Astrology Report for July 2012

Astro Connections Blog | July 1 2012

July is highlighted by intense planetary activity, followed by a calmer period that extends from late July into August. Both Uranus and Mercury turn retrograde in fire signs within two days of each other. This is followed by active Mars transits setting off the Uranus/Pluto square that occurred in June. Both the new and full moons also strengthen these aspects, which could bring unexpected and volatile changes during these periods.
The Full Moon occurs on July 3 at 12 Capricorn. This lunation is aligned with both Pluto and Uranus, which sets up an intense period of dynamic changes during the next few weeks. Pluto rules death and rebirth, while Capricorn represents the old guard, authority figures and those resistant to change. Entrenched, unsustainable structures and outworn personal patterns will likely change form at this time. This can set up an intense struggle for power and control, as breakdowns and endings occur both around us and within us. However, cultivating a calm, optimistic perspective helps facilitate a more harmonious rebirth.

The Sabian symbols for these lunation degrees seem to echo the power/rebirth themes of Pluto/Uranus: “A hand with a prominent thumb is held out for study; the power of the will in shaping character,” and “a fire worshipper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence; the subjective quest for ultimates beyond the interplay of life and death processes.” As we grow and develop new powers and strengths, we are also challenged to act with increased wisdom.

Jupiter aligns with the South Node in Gemini during the first half of July, which can cause a mental overreaction to daily events. We can get too caught up in details, or even misperception, without seeing a broader view (as represented by the North Node in the opposite sign of Sagittarius). On July 3 Mars enters Libra, which motivates us to act with more balance and harmony to achieve our goals.

Djwhal Khul ~ Divine Love

Posted on by

Terri Newlon | June 28 2012

Djwhal Khul here. Tashi delek.

Alright. Well, we have Saturn having gone direct, we have Venus having gone direct and we have Mercury in Leo. I thought this might be a time to talk about Divine Love, or Love at more Cosmic levels.

This is a time when we might be seeing sort of self-love and self-loathing kind of moving back and forth, that sort of thing. Might also see such a deep love for an ideal that nothing else is appreciated and that sort of thing.

So we get out of the personal level of Love or our attachment to what it’s supposed to be like and we move into those more Divine levels. It’s just really a peaceful bliss.

One moment here, the channel has got a little tickle in the nose.

And what I call As Is Acceptance.

So work with your own consciousness to sort of transcend what the personality wants, what the subconscious agenda is, living what you, as a soul belief that you want and how it should look.

And when you just sort of keep transcending it consciously, invoke Divine Love. “Thy Will be Done“ And keep working with it. It will bring you into a different kind of zone or energy field where you are quite comfortable with everything.
