The things we fear most in organizations,
fluctuations, disturbances, imbalances ...
are the primary sources of creativity.
~ Margaret J. Wheatley ~

Hi All ~ I worked Major *Mojo* 11/11 thru 11/22 and then shifted for family obligations and like you, had to *simultaneously* navigate the intense Eclipse energy and incoming Mercury Retrograde. I have used the *Overview* + *Chart* portions of the Sag *Lunar* Tele-Class (11/17) as our Guidance for *NOW*. I just re-listened and found it tremendously useful! Sagittarius time every year, affords you the opportunity to *Deepen Your Truth* and *Expand Your Story* ~ to move from the revelations of Scorpio's *Raw Truth* ... to the inspirations of Sag's *Higher Truth* ... to make *meaning* out of all that has been brought in to the Light. We're also at the *Mid-Point* in the Jupiter Annual Cycle (Sag's Ruler) with one month left to complete the *Editing* Process Jupiter Retrograde brings (every year). Once it moves forward (12/25), so too will ALL that you *Clarify* at THIS time, when the Sun/Moon/Mercury/Venus/North Node all make their way through the sign of the Archer!

I have always thought Scorpio was my favorite time of the year but I'm amending that to include the whole last quarter of the year. Scorpio is the best because it clears out the old, Sagittarius is the best for dreaming up the future and Capricorn is the best for initiating the foundation for those dreams to expand on. I *LOVE* this time of year! It so beautifully supports this natural evolution. I can also testify that after working mojo *WITH* the energies over the years, it has always produced results directly equal to the investment of my own energy. I say that to say, you can invest a little or a lot and yield tangible results based on your efforts.

Another thing to consider is that the Sag *Work*( (11/22-12/22) is leading to the ONLY (almost) 30-day period of the entire year when ALL the planets are moving in forward motion ~ which means NO HOLDING BACK! Dec 25th (Jupiter Direct) until Jan 23rd (2012 - Mars Retro) provides a small window of opportunity to hold your own counsel, tune in to the cosmos and your Higher Self and come up with a new and improved vision for your life. I suggest you use the holiday season to give your Self the GIFT of TIME to reflect and plan. You are standing on this side of a bridge, about to crossover to completely new, and as yet, unknown territory, which deserves more than a fleeting thought.

As I ruminated the relationship between Sagittarius and Capricorn, many things started to dance in my consciousness. The energy of faith, optimism and enthusiasm (Sagittarius) to create a reality (Capricorn) based on your personal Truth (Sag) and ultimate Purpose (Capricorn) for being here. It CANNOT just be the proverbial 'struggle from the cradle to the grave'. 'Survival-Mode' is a state of mind and we have free will and choice to re-vision the "Mode" in which we navigate through this life. We've practiced transmuting 'Survival-Mode' for *Self-Preservation* in recent years and it is starting to pay off. Sag's gift is *Exploring* the possibilities, while Capricorn's gift is turning those possibilities into *Tangible* Reality. We need BOTH energies, and the lessons they bring.

If we can also use the energy of Mercury Retrograde in Sag (11/24 - 12/13) as well as the Sag/Gemini Eclipse Season this month, then NEXT month when ALL Planets are *Direct* for a brief time (12/25 - 1/23/2012) you can work with Capricorn's energy of ... Defining Your Reality ~ Creating Your Structure ~ Building Your Foundation ~ Renewing Your Definitions (of Everything) ... not to mention this is *INITIATING* 2012! It is vital to at least set your *Intentions* during this *OPEN* Field ... it is the most Fiery Creative Energy available for *Change* and Birthing *ANEW*! Yummm!

PS ~ Also consider the on-going Cardinal Cross which directly engages Uranus (Liberation) in Aries (Independence) ~ Saturn (Structure) in Libra (Balanced Relationships) ~ and Pluto (Transformation) in Capricorn (Responsibility) and this is the time it is *Activating* the Pluto in Capricorn "leg" (11/26 - 1/27/2012) making things fairly *Personal* for us all. Your frame of reference should be Spring & Fall Equinox and Summer Solstice, this Winter Solstice *Initiates* a NEW Year of work and the final one that Saturn will contribute to in this particular way. The Cardinal energies have to do with our *Fundamentals* ~ Home/Work ~ Private/Public ~ Self/Others ~ Individual/Collective. This is an EXCELLENT TIME to deeply *process* the past couple of years and recognize the truly *NEW* Level you're at and *NEW* Reality you're living. It is a NEW Day!!

· Take some time to reflect on 2011
· Set intentions for 2012
· Tune in to the forward movement on the horizon
· Clear the old, make way for the new
· NO MORE "RE-" anything ~ you're starting with a CLEAN SLATE
· Release anything you do not want bigger
· Release anything you do not want anchored for the next 16-20 years
· Use discomfort as a motivation to change
· Change sooner than later that which you KNOW needs to be changed
· Do not put off to tomorrow what you can do today
· Use the current energies to "break to realign" whatever needs it most
· Take personal responsibility for your own success
· Face the consequences of past choices and commit to change (from this day forward)
· Do not be extreme but be vigilant
· Do not be rigid but be consistent
· Do not be apathetic or pessimistic but be flexible and relaxed
· Do not be stagnant but finish what you start
· Think bigger, expand your realm and consider other possibilities
· Invite the invisible help of your angels and guides to bring you creative solutions
· Find a need in the community and fill it
· Choose a cause to contribute some energy to (start w. SELF)
· Get out of your comfort zone but have FUN (this does not have to be painful)

Whosoever wishes to know about the world
must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth
be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season.
~ Heraclietus of Ephesus ~

**Heracleitus of Ephesus (ca. 540-ca. 475 BC) ~ Greek philosopher who thought of the universe as a place of ceaseless change ("flux"), going so far as to suggest that a new Sun was created each day. He believed the fundamental element was Fire, because it was always changing, and felt that evidence from the Senses was untrustworthy and had to be used with caution. He was interested in understanding the processes occurring behind the "veil" of appearances. © 1996-2007 Eric W. Weisstein

KARMIC TOOLS ~ Weekly Forecast:
November 27 - December 3, 2011

11/27 ~ Venus (socialize) ~trine~ Jupiter (optimism):
This is a most pleasant energy, although short lived. This is a good time to enjoy some kind of social activity. No pressure - just easy, laid back fun. It can make you prone to laziness, but only if you’re already prone to it. Otherwise, if you are typically constantly on the go, this energy gives you permission to kick back a little and release the usual pressures to produce. Take some time out to “smell the roses” or at least reflect on all that you HAVE accomplished and give your Self due credit for coming this far. This is a good time to go on a vacation or short trip. This energy tends to bring forth rewards for past actions. Take a moment to give thanks to the powers that be which brought you to this point!

12/1 ~ Venus (relationships) ~conjunct~ Pluto (transformation):
This energy intensifies relationships, for better or worse. Because your values and priorities are shifting, relationships must also undergo a similar adjustment. Beware of value differences that can cause power struggles which are unproductive. Try to create circumstances that are win/win, and mutually beneficial, this will allow the relationship to EVOLVE, rather than revolve back into the cycle. It is best to use this energy to consciously transform your personal values and define how you’d like to be engaged with others in the future. You may feel really intense at this time, it is the best time to tap your Infinite creative flow and create something AMAZING!

12/2 ~ Sun (core-Self) ~square~ Mars (passion):
Knowledge is power - and in this case, it is better to know than not know. You KNOW it's going to be a challenging time, so don't act surprised when it happens. This energy's sole purpose is to test the validity of a position you took or a statement you made about six months ago. The Universe, and a couple of humans for good measure, will be pointing out your weaknesses, short-comings, lack of preparation and mistakes you've made. Be careful not to be overly sensitive to others or impatient with the progress, or lack thereof, of your current situation. Be assertive but not belligerent and beware of it in others, toward you. This energy brings conflict with authority figures too. If possible, find a positive, physical outlet for your energy this week. If you don't allow your frustrations to be expressed at all, they will explode in the worst way, at the worst possible time; possibly manifesting themselves in illness or accidents. If you don't feel any aggression, anxiety or frustration then you may be suppressing it all, and again, it WILL manifest, ready or not, so beware. And if you are not suppressing it, you may be projecting it and attracting angry, frustrated people to you. If you work WITH this energy, you have access to the ability to do the work and CREATE an authentic life.

Initial Thoughts on 2011

Initial Thoughts on 2011

2011 opens with 25 days of *forward* motion ~ NO Retrograde Planets. This is auspicious and juicy! These *portals* are small and rare and worth investing some conscious attention to what you are creating with your own personal energy. Every day brings another *gift* of revelation and energetic support. This year supports RE-Establishing *BALANCE* after a major *HEALING*. 1996 - 2010 had Saturn traversing Aries -thru- Virgo, below the surface, behind the scenes, working on the *fundamentals* of our evolving Saturn Reality. It may have felt very personal to many along the way. As it hits Libra, it moves above the horizon and out in to the world to work on the Social/Collective realms, assuming the Individuals have done the groundwork. As Planets *finish* every Sign, Cycle and New Direction ~ very often, there is a *TEST*. I would encourage you to look for the areas of life where you have done the most personal growth and Self-work, honor what is truly *done* and prepare for the *Test*. We never want to look at life's tests as malicious, it is a natural occurrence, not to be feared, but to be embraced! It will validate your level of mastery (more of Saturn's domain).

An astrological chart is basically a *snapshot* of the sky at any given moment, so if you want to know the *energetic blueprint* for anything or anyone, all you have to do is get this snapshot and study it for the *energies and patterns*. The chart of 1.1.2011 @ 00:01am in Washington, DC/USA ~ has 7* Libra on the Ascendant setting the tone for the year. Where's Saturn? That's right, in Libra! This year will reveal much greater *results and rewards* for the Harvest of Fall Equinox / Sept 2010 -thru- Winter Solstice / Dec 2010 and beyond that, many of you will also see the *results and rewards* of the last 2.5 ~ 7 ~ and 14 years as part of the natural Saturn Cycle. According to Barbara Hand Clow in Liquid Light of Sex, when Saturn passes over the Ascendant like this, there is a major *emptying out* of sorts. This leads to the empty space ~ in-between the old and the new ~ the Sweet Spot between Seed & New Life. So that *in-between* vibration continues in 2011, but at a much higher level because so much *healing* has already been integrated.

My guidance from Saturn has shown that the deep and permanent *healing* done 2007-2010 in Virgo is leading to the renewed balance between all levels of Masculine/Feminine energy, Human, Divine and Galactic. To the degree that the Masculine/Feminine *balance* is restored within the Individual, Social and Collective realms, will be revealed 2012-2015 when it enters Scorpio. Theoretically, after a great healing, you cannot jump back in to *life* too soon, balance must *FIRST* be restored. Once you're healed and balanced, then you can start building power, strength and endurance. It is my feeling that *if* we've healed (Virgo) and reestablished balance (Libra), then directing our power (Scorpio) to create a clean, new 3D/reality (Saturn) is granted by Saturn, The Great Teacher. For those who have not done their Saturn Due Diligence may find they're more in touch with Saturn, The Lord of Karma, which always teaches (one way or another) that your outer 3D/reality is a direct reflection of your internal reality and the labor that goes in to maintaining it.

Part of the lesson of the eternal cycle of Saturn and Uranus, especially in Virgo/Pisces (like 2007-2010), is RE-Aligning life as we know it, one aspect of which is being a Spirit (Uranus in Pisces) in Human Form (Saturn in Virgo). Reverberations from the 1960's ring out. Huge (and numerous) major Cycles converged then and now ~ remember, Earth's 26,000 Year Cycle is not anchored in a day. But how incredible is it that we are all here at this particular turn of the Eternal Wheel? Okay, okay, I'll come back down to Earth and say that Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (consolidation) represent basic principles of Life and also ALWAYS facilitate great shifts in the Social and Collective realms, while deeply activating the Individuals born under their influence along the way.

This leads me to the other Star of the Show for 2011 ~ Jupiter! When I looked up all the Outer Planets' Activations, Jupiter is, by far, the most active with *7* major Activations. Saturn, Uranus, Neptune all have one Activation each and that's it. The rest is up to us Individuals and how we work with the Personal Planets as they zip around the zodiac engaging our Souls on deeper levels than ever before. Jupiter starts the year (1/4) aligning with Uranus, both in Pisces, the end of the zodiac, to complete their *Initiation* of a 14-year Cycle. This will be the first 14-years of Uranus' NEW 84-year Cycle, which is vital, if you are focused on Truth (Jupiter) and Liberation (Uranus). We have our work cut out for us during this time, beginning stages of anything are delicate. The First Test of this Cycle comes in 2013-2014.

But let's get back to 2011 specifically. Where Jupiter is concerned, those with Planets in Aries/Libra and Cancer/Capricorn will be Activated January to June. Those with Planets in Taurus/Scorpio and Leo/Aquarius will be Activated June to December of this year. Jupiter *expands* all that it touches in an effort to educate you, to open you up to a larger vision and deeper version of the Truth as you know it. Aries brings the *clean slate* energy many of you are feeling. It really is the Beginning of a new 12-year Jupiter Cycle. Whatever New Truth and Story you are initiating will be tested in February as it tags Pluto/North Node in Capricorn. This is to, among other things, ensure that your new beginning is clean and will ultimately serve and benefit both YOU & OTHERS. It is time for you to be responsible for your own Truth & Purpose, as well as the Story you're telling with every thought, word and deed.

Then in March, the third and final Activation comes as Jupiter tags Saturn Retrograde in Libra. This is a major (and personal) *Integration*, especially for those with Aries/Libra Planets. For you, I think it will be a matter of re-visioning your own personal reality, in light of Jupiter's education of the last 3-6-9-12 years. How have you suppressed your Truth to please and appease others? This Activation will help you expand your idea of who you are on a core level and reveal where *stability, balance and reciprocity* may be lacking, within or around you. This Activation will stimulate those with Cancer/Capricorn energies in a different way. For you, there will be more movement and choices involved. I suspect that post-Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses, there isn't much left of your OLD Story or OLD Reality. This Activation is designed to push you "out of comfort zone ~ in to new territory". In this case, I think most of your "movement and choices" will have to do will you *choosing* what Story you want to tell NEXT!

By May, the Element of *FIRE* will be Activated by Jupiter (Aries) and the North Node (Sag) and you may feel a wave of energy that carries you right on to the shore of your NEW Truth & Story. This one is tricky because it is one of those Activations that really requires your conscious intent to benefit from the stellar rays, but I think you can receive a *delicious download* regarding the next step on your NEW Path, if you attune to it. I suggest you develop an *outline* of your NEW Story and then review it for its Social relevance and evolutionary potential. What I mean is, it must reflect your own passion and truth, and also, lead to greater things for you and the world. Remember, these are fairly large and general themes. The Signs that are Activated along the way is what will make it feel personal for you. I recommend knowing the dominant pattern of your own energies and lessons.

Stay Tuned for MORE in the months to come!

Heart is Essential to ALL Life

Heart is Essential to ALL Life

Only connect!
Only connect the prose and the passion,
and both will be exalted, and
human love will be seen at its height.
Live in fragments no longer.
Only connect.
~ Edward M Forster, Writer ~

LIBRA: Balance Requires Loving Self & Others
ARIES: Independence Requires Responsibility

HEART
You can live without many organs, but NOT the HEART! That transcends your physicality and reminds you that NOTHING LIVES WITHOUT HEART! And the overall health of any living thing can be assessed by the strength and health of the heart. Venus, when it rules Libra, reminds us that love really does conquer all and not that mushy, passive stuff ~ I'm talking love the *verb* ~ strong, fierce, passionate love. Love of life; love for the planet; love for your work; love for your family; love you would fight and die for ... love you cannot live without!

Where there is LOVE,
there is LIFE.
~ Gandhi ~

• How is your heart at this time?
• Physically, the heart (which sustains your life force) is it healthy and strong at this time?
• Meta-Physically, the heart of your life's work (which feeds and sustains you and your community) is that in proper working order?
• This year has been pivotal in planting the seeds of your future. How are things growing in your personal garden?
• Have you planted things that will grow, evolve and feed one another and, ultimately, feed you and others?
• Have you planted things that will bear fruit and/or bring beauty in to your world?
• Or perhaps you just realized you need a garden of your own and have been clearing a patch in your life where you will eventually plant the seeds of your future.

Wherever you are in your personal process, the planetary energies are supporting your evolution and reminding you that nothing you do will ever matter if there is no HEART involved.

Libra energy reminds you to connect with inner balance and cultivate community with love and compassion. While Venus, Libra's ruler, is currently traveling through Scorpio, reminding us that seeds germinate in the darkness and planting a garden or building a community can be funky yet necessary work. Venus in Libra will attune you to the beauty, peace and balance. But in Scorpio, she reminds you that beauty is not always pretty but can be fierce and powerful, deep and transformative, but above all, PURE & HONEST.

TIME
During 2010-2012, Saturn is moving through Libra, where it is considered *exalted*. This is a time to re-establish balance within the structure of your body, as well as the structure of your life. It's time to re-negotiate all relationships, partnerships and co-ops, to bring all agreements up to date. This only happens every 28-years, so this is definitely an opportunity to release all toxic interactions (and relationships) and blockages to balance in your life. Now, theoretically, when you change, everyone around you has to change - or go away. There is a path within that has been cleared and now you are better able to commune directly with your own heart, listening to its promptings and following it wherever it leads. If/when you're ready, you will be ready to invite love and abundance in, you have an opportunity to share the "new you" and create new and delicious new collaborations. Power Wishes should focus on magnetizing the people, community, love and abundance that will match your energy and level of consciousness.

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.
~ Rumi ~

Time to delve within your own heart as Venus, Libra's Ruler, asks:

• Are your priorities in order?
• What's it worth to you?
• What is most important to you where love is concerned?
• What is most important to you where your resources are concerned?
• Are you worthy of love and abundance?
• Are the people you are currently invested in worthy (those who get the lion's share of your personal resources of time, energy and often, money)?

RESOURCES
Remember, whatever you invest those precious resources in ~ is telling the Universe that it is what you value the most and what's most important to you. Are the people you have closest to you an accurate reflection of who you are? So often, we block ourselves from love, literally and/or emotionally. Sometimes consciously, owning your fear of commitment, fear of loss or fear of betrayal; sometimes unconsciously, sabotaging things as soon as there is any kind of conflict, real investment or compromise required.

Love and money, Venus' domain, seem to be front and center for many at this time. This is time to focus on how you manifested the relationships you are experiencing now, how worthy of further investment they are and what you are really willing to sacrifice and compromise on.
Are your current relationships: reciprocal? balanced? nourishing? loving? beautiful?

SCORPIO
And with Venus traveling through Scorpio, is it all worth it? where's the substance? where's the deeper connection(s)? Mars recently joined her in Scorpio, where lies, deceit and hypocrisy will not be tolerated provoking folks to ugly outbursts and confrontations, demanding truth. However, be sure if you are in that position (demanding truth from others) that you are prepared to accept the truth you receive.

There is nothing in a caterpillar
that tells you it is going to be a butterfly.
~ Buckminster Fuller ~

Inanna is the Goddess most closely associated with Venus as she expresses the Scorpio side her nature, which suggests that in order to return to the Light, you will have to sacrifice many aspects of your being which you've accumulated over time and which may be weighing you down and blocking love and abundance from fully manifesting in your life. She asks that you look within for a deeper perspective, face your fears and commit to listening to your own heart, acting with courage and integrity in all your associations with others ... and then that will be all you attract.

Libra time is our annual opportunity to focus on relationships, collaborations and what you're cultivating in the community. You will magnetize and bring in the people, places, resources and circumstances which MATCH *YOUR* ENERGY.

3rd Annual *Fall* Equinox Gathering

With courage you will dare to take risks,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.
~ Keshavan Nair, Author & Speaker ~

~ The Annual Harvest ~

It is a time of ASSESSING, HARVESTING & COMPLETING the first half of the natural year, and planning & initiating the second half. What do you absolutely want DONE by the end of 2009? How can you go forward in to 2010 on more of a CLEAN SLATE?

This *Sacred* Season is About ...

~ Harvest ~

Assess what you've produced/accomplished in the last 6mo
~ Evaluate & Rectify ~

Assess what worked and what did not work
~ Balance & Integrate ~

Assess what you need to do/have/be more or less of going forward
~ Pause for the Cause ~

Transition times are times to be still, tune in and prepare for new season

We'd like to invite all of you to join me, Shanta and the Power Circle to follow up the powerful initiation we launched during Spring Equinox of March 2010.

This *Fall* Equinox is a time of BALANCE. It is time of balance between Light & Shadow and takes us from movement out in the world, to more inner, "work with what you've got" energy, using your resources and creations to BUILD ON, primarily behind the scenes in preparation for Spring Initiation.

One potent addition to the Equinoxes and Solstices is Pluto's 16-year journey through Capricorn, which will directly engage the Sun at each and every turn of the Wheel. There are several other activations and on-going themes, but Pluto's *Purification* and *Distillation* process is the longest and most transformative. A new beginning ~ fresh start ~ clean slate is available through the Jupiter/Uranus in Aries Activation ... and who better to assist with clearing the debris and releasing the non-essential to make *room* for your 'new beginning' ~ than Pluto, Lord of Purification & Transformation. Your essential nature (Sun) and the purest, deepest part of you (Pluto) connect in a rhythm every year, four times a year for 16 years (2008-2024). As it reshapes you from the inside out, so too will the collective shapeshift.

The 4 *ANNUAL* Activations ~ 2008-2024:
~ Initiation ~ Winter Solstice / Capricorn
~ First Test ~ Spring Equinox / Aries
~ Integration ~ Summer Solstice / Cancer
~ Final Test ~ Fall Equinox / Libra

Some astrologers consider Conjunctions, Oppositions and Squares as "hard" and "negative", however, I do not ever subscribe to "blanket rules or assessments" when seasons and human beings are in the mix ~ *ANYTHING* IS POSSIBLE! These connections, which the planets make to each other, facilitate movement and necessary change. If you are ready, open and receptive, they ASSIST you in moving to the next level, creating tangible results and measurable progress. If you are not ready, narrow-minded and/or resistant to change, then yes, it is going to be more challenging ... but you'll be in new territory nonetheless.

The *Initiation* is *Winter* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto get together (conjunction) in Capricorn, increasing each other's power to purify you and your intentions for the coming new year. They advise, "First, you must rest, replenish, mature and gather strength (power)." *Spring* and *Fall* Equinox, when Sun/Pluto have to consciously work out their differences (square), and you are moved possibly out of your comfort zone, but in to new territory. *Summer* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto have to balance and integrate (opposition) all that you've initiated at Spring-time; it's a time of blossoming and expanding and you are moved to accommodate all that you've created in new, innovative ways.

You are *READY*!! Don't look back, practice presence & mindfulness and apply new strategies for living. I hope you'll join us for this celebration.

*CELEBRATE* the LIGHT!
Sacred Marriage of ...

Mother Earth & Father Sky
We are the "Spirit Children"

of this Sacred Union!
The Longest Day: (Excerpt from Molly Hall of Astrology.About.com) "The bright glowing orb we call The Sun is celebrated in many traditions at the Summer Solstice. There are fire dances, bonfires, and in the olden days, the ancients rolled fire wheels down the hills. There's also a long tradition of ritual bathing, dipping in the cleansing waters. Fire and Water are celebrated at the Summer Solstice, along with the Earth as Mother Goddess, at her most abundant. It's a celebration of the Earth, the Feminine and the living natural world."

3rd Annual ~ *Summer* Solstice Celebration

With courage you will dare to take risks,

~ Integration ~ Culmination ~

We have extended far and reached the Maximum Light as of *Summer* Solstice ~ this is the *Culmination* of the seeds planted at *Winter* Solstice and brings the Mid-Point of the Annual Solar Cycle ~ Balance & Integration. What intentions did you set? How are they going? What has manifested? What has not? December 2009 was a very powerful time of major reviews, endings and creating a space for what is coming in to perspective and/or manifestation *NOW*. You are completely supported for healing old wounds and freeing up space & energy within your Being to do great things. And like all cycles, one is preparing you to the next. 2010 is a response to 2009 and is simultaneously preparing your for 2011 (and beyond).

This *Sacred* Season is About ...

Assessing & Integrating the Past 6 Months
Initiating Half-Way Mark of the Year
Honoring & Giving Gratitude for the Light
Acknowledging a Turning Point
Using the Sacred Season to Process & Digest
Review Your Choices & Decisions
Tend to Sacred Space & Inner Nourishment (Mental, Physical & Spiritual)
Anchor Sacred Work & Do Behind-the-Scenes Integration
Renewing Your Commitment

They advise, "First, you must rest, replenish, mature and gather strength (power)." *Spring* and *Fall* Equinox, when Sun/Pluto have to consciously work out their differences (square), and you are moved possibly out of your comfort zone, but in to new territory. *Summer* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto have to balance and integrate (opposition) all that you've initiated at Spring-time; it's a time of blossoming and expanding and you are moved to accommodate all that you've created in new, innovative ways.

You are *READY*!! Don't look back, practice presence & mindfulness and apply new strategies for living. I hope you'll join us for this celebration.

Jupiter & Uranus in Aries ~ 2010

Jupiter & Uranus in Aries ~ 2010
Truth & Liberation Born Anew

From the Weekly Forecast ~
Jupiter (truth) ~conjunct~ Uranus (liberation):
These two energies coming together tends to bring expansion (Jupiter) and radical change (Uranus) on social and collective levels, which naturally affects us as individuals too. Their combined power generally expands your awareness so that the parameters you have been working within (personally or professionally) suddenly feel confining and you crave immediate change. Don’t be too hasty and at the same time, recognize that *if* you are truly ready to break old patterns and routines which have grown stale, then this energy will assist you on multiple levels. Keep your personal freedom in mind, but do not shirk your responsibilities in the process or you could find your Self in worse conditions than those that you are trying to escape. With your expanded awareness, you may branch out beyond your personal boundaries and dive in to the social realms to make a bigger contribution, perhaps fighting for the rights and freedoms of others. You can also tune in and find yourself having breakthroughs that have thus far eluded you ~ be ready! No matter how you slice it, these two getting together is initiating a *new* Truth ~ a *new* Story ~ and bringing you in contact with the possibility of a *new* Path! Pay attention and choose wisely.

Streams of Consciousness ~ Word Association ~
Now, we add to the mix, Pisces/Aries ~ Ending/New Beginning ~ Womb-to-Birth ~ Completion/Initiation ~ from one, watery, (possibly) dark, completely-provided for ... state of Being ... to a very different, fiery, bright, completely new you're-on-your-own ... state of Being. Sensitivity ~ Instincts ~ both valuable and both subject to imbalances. As Jupiter & Uranus move from Pisces to Aries, so too, directly across the sky, Saturn moves from Virgo to Libra and contributes to the current activation. Jupiter (Truth), Saturn (Purpose) and Uranus (Freedom) ... Social Justice ~ Social Structure ~ Collective Liberation ~ by being responsible ~ able to respond ~ committed ~ and awake, we can move in to this new territory confident that all we need, desire and deserve is and always will be provided. If you are co-creating with these energies, and especially if you have any Aries/Libra and/or Cancer/Capricorn in your chart, then the next 3 years are vital to anchoring much larger cycles that will fortify, nurture and protect you going forward. The Cycles you should tune in to are 1-year; 2-year and 7-year and consider that all three overlap for the first 3 ~ Trinity energy is very useful to tune in to when initiating ANYTHING.

PS ~ After-Thoughts ~
These energies and cycles are also part of an even larger activation with the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses, Nodes, amplified by Pluto. I have several articles on these individual activations. Bear with me while I go through them and update them for this Summer of 2010 and perhaps add an article that synthesizes it all (check back SOON). In the meantime, ALL of this will be discussed on the upcoming *FREE* Tele-Class.

Uranus in ARIES ~ 2010-2018

Uranus is entering Aries for the first time since 1926-1934. It will Retrograde back through the end of Pisces to complete not only its 7-year Cycle through Pisces (2003-2010) but also Uranus' 84-year Cycle through the entire zodiac. Uranus' Cycle is approximately 84 years to make it thru all 12 Signs, spending approximately 7 years in each sign. It also has 4 major activations during that cycle, which happen every 21-years, when we are all tested on the Uranus material. It is, after all, known as The Great Awakener!

This next year (2010-2011) will be a *PROCESS* of Endings & New Beginnings on Personal, Social and Collective levels. Basically, this first Retrograde of the *new* cycle is about *Completion* of the Pisces plus the whole 84-year Cycle. During each Retrograde period every year, we will all get a chance to go within and PROCESS all that this energy is stirring up, loosening our grip on old, worn-out patterns and awakening each of us to the innate urge to be truly free.

During this very first step in to Aries, I think it is extremely noteworthy that Uranus will spend May 27 - Aug 13, 2010 at *ZERO* Degrees Aries ~ Zero Point of Infinite Possibilities!

We will dive in to only the *Introduction* of this energy and cycle this June, however, we will get together at critical points in the future to gather inspiration and clarity. This is a major opportunity to *REVIEW & RELEASE* old patterns which are blocking ... and *INITIATE* new patterns of true freedom, unity and the inevitable *new* Earth.

Relevant Reflection ~

It is useful to review Uranus' move through Pisces because Aries ~ was then (1926-1934) and is now (2010-2018) ~ a *RESPONSE* to the previous cycle. The old saying, "those who do not know their history, are doomed to repeat it" comes to mind. If you can see any Personal, Social or Collective *patterns* that you think could benefit from a clean slate / re-birth, then tune in and contribute your energies in that direction.

Uranus in Pisces last happened during the 'Roaring 20s', when people were simultaneously restricted by material limitation, yet liberated through a truly unique creative expression (jazz exploded), women were emancipated (on one level, by the 'equal pay legislation'), rebellion (against prohibition), many technologies became commonplace (primarily cars, but TV, radio etc), the Harlem Renaissance and many more radical shifts in our expanding Global Community let us know a re-structuring was inevitable and most necessary. And here we are again, with similar issues on the table, but on a grander scale.

Jupiter will Retrograde back and forth through Pisces and Aries before it moves forward permanently. This audio covers a lot of basic information. If you would like the entire Audio + Activations, Email Kelly.

(Excerpt from Jupiter in PISCES Audio ~ 14-min)

The thing about democracy, beloveds,
is that it is not neat, orderly, or quiet.
It requires a certain relish for confusion.

Jupiter in ARIES ~ 2010-2011

Jupiter in *ARIES* initiates a brand *NEW* 12-year Cycle! You can/will improve your *Independence* and initiate a NEW Truth and a NEW Story. If 12 years is too much to wrap your brain around, I would encourage you to think in terms of 3-year *increments*. The Trinity energy is very powerful and when working with Jupiter, you are being exposed to an expanded awareness of a *larger* Truth of which you are an integral part. It is vital to work with this entity when you are consciously co-creating the Truth & Story of your own life.

Jupiter spends about a year in every Sign, taking approximately 12 years to make it through the zodiac. We are *Initiating* this Cycle *TOGETHER*. There are Personal, Social and Collective Planets ~ Jupiter is a Social Planet. This means that you too have a Personal 12-year Cycle based on the Sign Jupiter was in when you were born. However, Socially and Collectively, the 12-year Cycle is being RE-Set at this time ~ 2010-2011. It is a 1-3 year process that you can tune in to and change your Path considerably.

Jupiter Retrogrades every year and this period will help you focus and reevaluate what in your life needs to increase and what in your life needs to decrease. We will get an initial introduction to this energy, then Jupiter will Retrograde and give us a chance to truly digest and process this new energy and when it goes forward, we will anchor it for the next 12 years.

Join us THUR/June 17th ~ invite others ~ and we will go over an *Introduction* to this energy and cycle. Register at the following link and submit your Birth Info to receive the Post Call Notes & Activations.

for *Spring*Equinox Tele-Gathering

3rd Annual *Spring* Equinox Gathering

w. Shanta Gabriel

of TheGabrielMessages.com

~ New Beginnings ~ Initiation ~ ReBirth ~

When I dare to be powerful,

to use my strength in the service of my vision,

then it becomes less and less important

whether I am afraid.

Living on planet Earth is about natural rhythm and this is an *Initiation* of a new Annual cycle when the Sun enters Aries, the Infant on the Karmic Wheel. *Spring* Equinox honors the Light and initiates forward movement. Whatever additional Planetary Alignments of the time assist, by contributing their power and lessons to the energetic mix. This year, there are many assistants to your *process* of unfoldment, but the *stars* of this initiation are:

16 years ~ Pluto in Capricorn (transformation of reality)

3 years ~ Saturn Retrograde in Libra (restructuring relationships)

8 months ~ Mars in Leo (courage & authenticity)

1 of 12 years ~ Jupiter (truth/story) and ...

7 of 84 years ~ Uranus (freedom/liberation) in Pisces (completion of 7yrs) and moving in to Aries this summer (initiation of 7yrs)

On-going themes still apply, like the Saturn/Uranus, but herein I am referring to the current ANNUAL cycle. And Pluto in Capricorn engages every Equinox and Solstice every year until 2024. Pluto is purifying and transforming what you are truly responsible for, which is ultimately your contribution. A new beginning ~ fresh start ~ clean slate ... and who better to assist with clearing the debris and releasing the non-essential to make *room* for your 'new beginning' ~ than Pluto, Lord of Purification & Transformation. Your essential nature (Sun) and the purest, deepest part of you (Pluto) connect in a rhythm every year, four times a year for 16 years (2008-2024) that Pluto is in Capricorn. As it reshapes you from the inside out, so too will the collective shapeshift.

The 4 *ANNUAL* Activations:

~ Initiation ~ Winter Solstice/Capricorn

~ First Test ~ Spring Equinox/Aries

~ Integration ~ Summer Solstice/Cancer

~ Final Test ~ Fall Equinox/Libra

Some astrologers consider Conjunctions, Oppositions and Squares as "hard" and "negative", however, I do not ever subscribe to "blanket rules or assessments" when seasons and human beings are in the mix ~ *ANYTHING* IS POSSIBLE! These connections, which the planets make to each other, facilitate movement and necessary change. If you are ready, open and receptive, they ASSIST you in moving to the next level, creating tangible results and measurable progress. If you are not ready, narrow-minded and/or resistant to change, then yes, it is going to be more challenging ... but you'll be in new territory nonetheless. Perhaps facing these crossroads and choices will make you more amenable to the current shifts within the very essence of your Being. Most of you know by now, I am ALL ABOUT THE CONSCIOUS CO-CREATION with the available energies. It's my job to tell you what those energies are, it's your job to direct them in your own life and community.

The *Initiation* is *Winter* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto get together, increase each other's power to purify you and your intentions for the coming new year. They advise, "First, you must rest, replenish, mature and gather strength (power)." *Spring* and *Fall* Equinox, when Sun/Pluto have to consciously work out their differences, and you are moved to a new level of understanding by choice or by force, it's up to you and your consciousness to decide. Both Equinoxes bring the push to the next level in their individual ways. *Spring* Equinox is about initiation, new beginnings, getting things moving in a forward direction. *Fall* Equinox is about assessment of the harvest, how productive and effective you have been throughout the year. Both require decisions and are dynamic in nature, facilitating actual change. *Summer* Solstice, when Sun/Pluto have to balance and integrate all that you've initiated at Spring-time; it's a time of blossoming and expanding and you are moved to accommodate all that you've created in new, innovative ways.

You are *READY*!! Don't look back, practice presence & mindfulness and apply new strategies for living. I hope you'll join us for this celebration.

At this time, YOUR personal ...

Wounds will be healed

Connections will be made

Truths will be revealed

Innate strengths and gifts will be remembered

Fragments of your Self will be re-integrated & anchored

There is power in intent, and even more with the group energy all being directed at the same time for the upliftment of the global community, of which you are a primary part. What we are coming together to co-create transcends language, like art and music, energy needs no translation ... you FEEL it.

The Houses being activated by this *Sacred Season* are the areas of your life where you are:

Turning point / crossroads

New beginnings, seed-planting and initiation

Fiery creativity, fertility and blossoming energy

Resurrection, renewed life and vitality (within you and your environment)

Delicate infant stages, new growth and development

Spring cleaning and clearing (mentally, physically, spiritually and environmentally)

Being physical and/or taking a serious step in the direction of your goal

The House Being Activated for the COLLECTIVE Here & Now ~

TRUTH ~ 9th House of: your spiritual quest, religion, philosophy, publishing, higher learning/education, distant travel, foreign languages/countries
PURPOSE ~ 10th House of: career, reputation, social status, financial security, responsibility and the other parent (usually father)

*Spring* Equinox 2010 Celebration

Beginnings Are Delicate, Yet Vital

Beginnings Are Delicate, Yet Vital

Time period to be considered *now*

... October 14 ~ Nov 20, 2009

The following 4 entries started out as one article of "Highlights" and quickly became individual "Details" and still requires even more in-depth exploration (and explanation). I will be writing follow up articles to most of what follows as their combined influence stretches far and wide. However, this initial period is most important for setting the tone and attracting all that you need, desire and deserve in order to best navigate this time. The more consciously we all move through this period of time, the better positioned we'll be to build/expand in the future. Take in whatever you can, work on what intuitively jumps out as *vital* for you personally, and come back to visit the rest periodically over the next year.

Large individual and collective patterns are unfolding at this time. Control is an illusion. I looked up the origins of the word "control" and found: contra (against) roll (wheel turning). Only humans oppose Nature, all other lifeforms just Adapt. Another take on the word "control" was "to check, verify, regulate". Now, as a supposedly "evolved" species, perhaps we could use our intelligence, awareness, technology and Infinite ingenious gifts we possess, naturally I might add, to work *WITH Life* ~ with Mother Earth ~ with Nature ~ with Cycles. We cannot control or predict EVERYTHING, but there are loose guidelines upon which we can depend for certain periods of time and at regular intervals. The following is a snapshot of *now* to get you started. The last Sacred Season of the Solar year and the Forecast is coming the first week of November ~ stay tuned!

Initiating Collaborations

&

Renewing Relationships

First things first, Saturn takes 28-30 years to travel through all 12 signs, spending 2-3 years in each sign. Saturn is also known as the Great Teacher, Father Time or Lord of Karma ~ its whole purpose is to teach important lessons, determine healthy limits and remind you that YOU are responsible for all of it ~ who you are as well as what you create in the world. As Saturn moves through the sky, and thus through each sign, it will activate Saturn lessons for the collective. During the 20th Century, Saturn moved through Virgo: 1919-1921 ... 1948-1951 ... 1978-1980 ... and now, the 21st Century brings the first one to a close, 2007-2010. You can reflect on the history of those times to assess the collective lessons and repetitive patterns (there are many).

Your Saturn placement (sign/house) indicates your personal definition of reality, relationship with your 3-D / physical reality and the lesson you must master in order to build a solid foundation upon which your life can grow and expand. To that end, most people usually have to first learn what it feels like to be confined / limited by outer reality in order to determine what they are willing to truly be responsible for, how well they can build their own structures and how they will ultimately cultivate the inner authority to define their own reality. For example, Saturn in Aries requires the individual be as independent as possible, while somehow also maintaining balance (Libra) in their dealings with other people, relationships and society. Often, these people have to "learn the Saturn lesson" of standing up for themselves, defining their terms and being responsible for all aspects of their lives, which gets tested depending on how and when they attach their definition of reality to other outer forms, entities, people or structures.

As it is, the current Saturn lesson is that of Virgo: the lesson of discernment, knowing who, when and how much to Trust ... a strong connection to your inner knowing (intuition) in order to create an integrated Spirit (Pisces) having this human experience (Virgo). This lesson presents many possibilities, exposes all the "little things" wrong with your personal structure, which is also affecting the collective structure and gives you repeated opportunities for 2-3 years to assess (Virgo) your life's structure and create a plan to improve it so that it will last another 30 years. Consider also, that Virgo is the last of the "Personal Lessons" we go through before we venture "Above the Horizon" ~ "In to the World" culture of Libra. For now, the focus should be healing (Virgo) your own (personal and collective) structures (Saturn) so that the structure of your new (or re-newed) relationships (Libra) can receive a much needed infusion of Saturnine Strength and Fortification.

While Saturn is in Libra, the people and communities that you engage with over this next 3 years will reflect the (Virgo) healing self-work you already have under your belt, while also revealing what needs to be balanced (Libra) when working or playing with other life forms. This is a magical time for those who have truly cleared much karmic debris and positioned themselves well for contributing to the collective and interacting with other Beings on a much Higher vibratory level. For those who have avoided the self-healing work of strengthening their own structures by pouring their own precious resources of time and energy down the drain of failing structures in the world, families or communities, are being put on notice. Libra is a cool Air sign, Saturn is the planet of "Cool", demanding that "cooler heads must prevail", balance maintained and all must be fortified to sustain the structure you've been working on, that includes your life as well as the outer structures which support and protect life for all.*A more in-depth article on Saturn in Libra is coming soon ~ stay tuned!

2nd (of 3) ~ Jan 31, 2010 ~ Saturn Retrograde/Pluto Direct

3rd (of 3) ~ Aug 21, 2010 ~ Pluto Retrograde/Saturn Direct

Responsibility Squares-Off with Power

Another very important, and rare, alignment is the Saturn/Pluto dynamic, bringing the Ultimate Transformative Power to the Primary Structure of 3-D / Physical Reality for all life forms on Earth. Mother feels the stirrings deep within her belly, and eventually, each one of us will feel the reverberations too. On a personal level, this is tremendous power to direct on your own behalf. You can tap in to this potent alignment and *Synchronize* your Being/Body with our Source/Mother's Being/Body. Square position is a mixed blessing. In the Power Circle, we look at all Squares as necessary for growth and evolution. This is a challenging position, no doubt, but it also generates the much needed energy and resources to move you (out of your comfort zone) in to new territory. Essentially, Responsibility (Saturn) and Balance (Libra) ~ are Squaring off at ~ Power (Pluto) and Worldly Structures (Capricorn rules society, government, education, health care, institutions and corporations). It is time for change and the Square ensures a definitive new direction, for better or worse. Your intentions, as well as conscious efforts, can contribute to the ultimate outcome. Do not ever under-estimate the power of your own Heart and ability to focus and co-create your reality.

Individually, you will have to prioritize the most fundamental elements of your life (food, shelter, health care and education) and then begin, inch-by-inch, taking back your personal authority to govern your own life. It is time for many to remember that "Education & Exercise are the PUREST forms of Self-Love". It will be up to how invested you are in your own evolution. You can "settle" for what is available or you can "supplement" what is available but your own health and education should not be solely dependent on any outer entity. Culture, school, community are all "guides" but ultimately, what you learn in life is truly YOUR CHOICE. Maintaining a healthy body is YOUR responsibility. Advertisers and corporations are not sitting at your table determining what or how much you spend or consume. Again, they may present options, but you ultimately choose what makes your life more expansive or more limited. Most have a preference, but the key now is balance and integration. Consolidating and Expanding.

Collectively, the fundamentals of sustaining collective life on this planet must also shift. That means the systems (Virgo) which support and protect all life must get an "upgrade" of sorts. Theoretically, this "upgraded system" (based on what was revealed by both these planets' recent travels (Saturn in Virgo and Pluto through Sag) will help support the global community (Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn). "New and Different" would actually be living in balance, peace and harmony with each other ~ THAT would be "new and different" ~ compared to the war and oppression people seem to always have to experience before remembering we are ALL ONE.

This 3-part Activation will peak around the dates above, but the influence stretches the entire 3 years Saturn remains in Libra. In fact, when you look at what "lessons" Saturn is bringing ~ during the 16 year period of Pluto in Capricorn ~ an even more broad (and potent) story is revealed. The years 2007 - 2026, Saturn will traverse Virgo through Pisces. On a collective level, from the structure of our physical form and daily life (Virgo) ... to the structure of our ultimate Oneness and spirituality (Pisces) ~ Saturn is going to infuse an old reality with new lessons and new definitions, more reflective of "here and now". 2017-2020, Saturn will be in Capricorn, in the exact space as Pluto for almost 3 years, transforming life as never before, just prior to the USA's Pluto Return in 2022.

This will be an unprecedented time in our collective history, in the USA's history, and entire generations of individuals with Saturn in one of those 6 signs. Perhaps, we will gather our collective ingenuity, strength and inner-responsibility to create societal structures that are practical, realistic and effective when Saturn joins Pluto in Capricorn. This will lay the groundwork for Saturn in Aquarius, creating renewed structures which will ultimately benefit all life on the planet, as a unified whole. The USA's Pluto Return is a collective RE-BIRTH on a grand scale. America can be born anew in the Aquarian Age, with the balance of Leo/Aquarius energy, supporting all life, large and small. Try to direct your focus toward the Light (however minute and far away it may seem from our limited individual perspective) and allow your heart to lead you through the dark patches.
