The *FIRE* of Your Authentic Heart, Deepest Passion & True Purpose has Been Activated

9/25 ~ Jupiter (Education/Faith)

~trine~ Uranus (Awakening/Liberation):     

(1 of 3:   9.25.2014 ~ 3/3 & 6/22.2015)

     

You have 1-year to set your Intentions and claim your Vision. That's not to say that there won't be some other juicy, potent planetary alignment to support our goals next year but this one blesses the crossover between 2014 & 2015. And if you're feeling really strong, think in 1-3-6-9-12 year increments and set intentions but know that this first year sets the tone going forward, especially for those with strong Cardinal, Fixed & Fire energy in their chart.

    
This is a delicious relief for some who have had enough of the Cancer/Aries challenges of the last year or more (personal security vs. independence), though developing the strength & tools to work it out was critical to maximizing the potential of the current blessing of *Fire* energy now that Jupiter has moved into Leo. We still have to deal with the independence/liberation issues that Uranus is 'cracking us open' to, but hopefully, now that we've redefined personal security and deepened our faith in our own ability to sustain & protect ourselves, Leo energy encourages us to believe in ourselves and express more authenticity in every moment. It's almost like you rewired your internal system and now you'll be working on the outer expression & appearance (how it really works in the world). I don't necessarily mean your looks or physical appearance, although upgrading that too is deeply supported, but this is more about what your unique energy radiates out to the world, and how others receive & respond to your energy. Think: Magnetize & Repel and then define your terms and invite your Higher Self, Angels, Ancestors & Guides to assist you.

      

Jupiter & Uranus affect groups of people, so this energy is 'in the air'. If you have a lot of Fire in your chart, this is going to increase it, so you may want to use your Earth energy to ground & contain this fiery time, or at least take some precautions. If you don't have enough Fire, this will really help you bring in the Fire energy consciously and balance out certain aspects of your life, in a much-needed way. So, in general, these two getting together activate your consciousness in a huge way. There are sudden ah-ha moments and more clarity than you've maybe had access to in recent years. Uranus always activates us to learn or try something new or try something in a new way (to the tune of 3-6-9-12 years, a Jupiter Cycle). In this context (with Jupiter) you will want to express something you've only just recently discovered or realized is Truth for you, and you're bursting at the seams to show everyone how you and your consciousness has grown. That's great, but make sure your new Truth is grounded first. Think of the first trimester of pregnancy or a new sprout that hasn't totally rooted itself yet, new beginnings are delicate and require extra care & protection at first, so pace yourself with your new discoveries. This activation spans a year (June 2014 - June 2015) so pace yourself and pay attention to what comes up now (Sept 2014) that is re-activated or revised in March 2015 and finds its footing (roots) and finally gets its final polishing activation in June 2015, right around Summer Solstice (wow!).

    

See this as an 'unfolding new Truth' or new aspect of Self emerging. Get a feel for the Fire. It's a great time to expand your learning or education, get certified in something that you want to share with others, but try to avoid ideas (and people) with more flash than substance. The combination of Jupiter's luck (which is really a strong faith & following it) and Uranus' sudden, seeming out-of-the-blue-ness (which is really a sudden opening in your consciousness that allows you to see things in a completely new way) things will feel very "ordained" or magical or destined. Just stay grounded & present, because often when things seem 'too good to be true' - they are. What I'm talking about here is more about inner & outer alignment, faith & opportunity, when the path just opens before you and you have NO DOUBT that this is the (new) direction that you're supposed to take.

    

Also unique to 2014-2015 is the Leo/Aries combination. As long as we maintain integrity, lead with the heart, be creative & authentic, remaining free & independent becomes much easier. However, if you are struggling with self-esteem/self-worth issues, as well as being independent and capable of defining who you are/what you want, then this is the year to face your issues square on and make some real progress. Just keep in mind that what these energies trigger for you, is really bringing these issues/relationships into the light to be transmuted and purified with this Fire. It's going to first illuminate the excess & non-essential, then melt it away and reveal your true beauty & innate value. Believe in your Self! Know that you are here for a reason and while your Path is unique for you, we are all sharing this journey of self-discovery & evolution of our planet. Activations (which I can help you with, just reach out) will be personal, social & collective and during the next year or so, we will be creating containers for this *Fire* to burn safely & productively. Use this potent, creative *FIRE* to connect to Your Authentic Heart, Deepest Passion & True Purpose!

JAN ~ Mercury Retro *WATER* ~ 2013
FEB ~ Saturn Retro *SCORPIO* ~ 2013
MARCH ~ Eclipses & Nodes *SCORPIO/TAURUS* ~ 2013
APRIL ~ Mars Cycle Midpoint *VIRGO* ~ 2013

DEC ~ Pause-for-the-Cause/NO Call ~ 2013

       
The focus of my work is Cycles, Patterns and Personal Rhythm. I enjoy helping people unlock the potential of their own unique blueprint (chart) and I am deeply passionate about supporting people as they explore & develop their own personal *Rhythm* (cycles).  Beyond that, I love when people start to master their rhythm and begin to dance with the Universal *Rhythm* more freely and effectively because they are stronger and more centered in their Authentic Self. In addition to assisting Individuals, I am also interested in holding *Sacred* Space for the Power Circle Community to explore these cycles together. My ultimate goal is to serve both the Individuals, who prefer private sessions and one-on-one guidance & support ~ as well as those who enjoy Group energy & the exponential support of others navigating the cycles and consciously co-creating too.
     
The following introduces the *As Above* (planets/cycles) we will explore and develop this year (2013) *So Below* (our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual reality) unfolds deliciously for one and all!  The schedule has already been altered because we are doing both the Mercury & Saturn calls in February, so it is but a loose guideline for the year and my *Intention* to cover these things with you.  Please *respond* to this mailing with your interest as Community (your) participation will largely determine this.  For any gathering I host, there must be a minimum of 10 people registering. Below is my quick, initial snap-shot of what we are likely to cover at those gatherings.  Consider this a *Sneak Peek* as well as an *Open Invitation* to join me and the growing Power Circle Community.
   

2013 Highlights

  
SUN ~ Annual Solar Cycle 2013 ~ every month the Sun changes Sign around the 20th of the month.  It is this time when you should consider getting your personal Monthly *Tools*.

MOON ~ Eclipses/Nodes 2013 ~ we will be dealing, primarily, with Scorpio/Taurus Eclipses, however, we still have one Sag Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (5.25.2013) to complete the last couple of years of energy work ... while we will also get introduced to what's coming next with the Aries Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse (10.18.2013).  Keep in mind, Eclipse themes that *overlap* like this make the year (2013) extremely *transitional* and usually more intense as well.  These Eclipse Cycles coincide with the Lunar Nodes movement and this year we are dealing with a Scorpio North Node, while releasing imbalances around the Taurus South Node issues.
LAST Cycle ~ 1993-1995
PRESENT Cycle ~ 2012-2014 
NEXT Cycle ~ 2031-2032
     
MERCURY ~ Retro ALL Water 2013 ~ every 5+ years, Mercury does its 3-4 Retrogrades in a year through ALL One Element. 2013 brings ALL Water, meaning our ideas, thoughts, perceptions, conceptions, as well as how we communicate & express ourselves, is going to be *Emotionally* Based and decidedly driven by our *Feeling* Nature.  For some, that will be a piece of cake, for others not-so-much. Either way, we will ALL learn more about Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces this year.
Previous Cycle ended on Water / 1993
(1998) FIRE ~ Creativity / Courageous / Passion / Enthusiasm / Impulsiveness / Transformation
(2003) EARTH ~ Stability / Endurance / Practical / Form / Tangible Results / Building / Outer Realms
(2008) AIR ~ Information (large amounts) / Ideas / Talking / Processing / Expression / Voice
(2013) WATER ~ Emotions / Feelings / Flow / Vibrations / Depth / Intuition / Surrender / Inner Realms
Next Cycle Initiates on Fire / 2018
  
VENUS ~ 2nd Leg of Gemini *Journey & Process* 2012-2013 ~ Reclamation of Divine Feminine/Gemini in Preparation for Capricorn ~ This deserves a complete article to truly describe the energetic work we are doing with Venus this year.  But there are two points I want to make: (1) Venus in Capricorn Jan 8 - Feb 1, 2013 is the *preview* of the coming extended 4-month stay in Capricorn toward the end of this year (Nov 5 - Mar 5, 2014) and subsequent Retrograde: 12.21.2013/Direct: 1.31.2014.  And (2) Venus still has much work left with the Gemini *Theme* as she embarks on the second and final leg of that journey initiated April 2012.
    
As Venus goes to the Underworld (pause for the cause) mid-February, she has a couple of *KEY* Meetings with Sun/Moon/Mars/Uranus before Rising as the Evening Star in early-May 2013.  We should consider using this time to clarify the value of all the ideas, thoughts and concepts we have *released* over the last 9-12 months, and acknowledge that we've created *space* for NEW ideas, thoughts and concepts to infuse every Chakra with an Authentic Voice that expresses Self in a higher, more delicious Venusian way.  This work will anchor your NEW *Values & Priorities* so they support you going forward. Remember:  Sun (Identity/Source Energy) ~ Venus (Love/Beauty/Abundance) ~ Uranus (Awakening/Liberation) are linking up at 8* Aries on March 28, 2013.  Then Venus/Mars do *Sacred* Union on 4.6.2013 at 19* Aries.  These *behind the scenes* contacts (and where they fall in YOUR chart) will inform your Self-Work and Soul-Searching before the VERY DISTINCT shift of Venus' direction from *Release* to *Reclamation* kicks in to action.
    
MARS ~ 3rd Leg of Virgo *Journey & Process* 2011-2013 ~ Mars spent 8-months in Virgo (11/2011 - 7/2012) in what I've since dubbed the 8-month *investment* for a 16-month *return* and we are now at the *Mid-Point* of that 16-months as Mars moves through Pisces (2/1 - 3/12.2013).  It's a good time to review those materials and check to see if you are on-track.  Those most directly affected are my *Mutable* Babies:  Gemini/Sag and Virgo/Pisces.
      
JUPITER ~ 2nd Leg of Gemini *Journey & Process* 2012-2013 ~ The remaining Gemini work that Jupiter is doing will be:  (FIRE) with the final Sag Eclipse (5.25.2013) and Uranus in Aries ... (WATER) Chiron/Neptune/Pallas in Pisces ... (AIR) and Ceres/Vesta in Gemini lending Divine Feminine *Power* to the remainder of the Gemini Self-Work.  This indicates we will have to bring in our own Virgo energy of healing/assimilation to stabilize all this stirs up.
     
Jupiter is a 12-year cycle that moves in 3-year increments, so it hit Aries in 2010/Taurus in 2011/Gemini in 2012 ~ we return to Cardinal energy with Cancer in 2013 and thus engage Uranus in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn, which will leave us having to bring in the Libra energy of balance/fairness on our own but keep in mind that it will also *challenge* the *Truth/Story* you activated back in 2010 to truly (and physically/literally) EVOLVE in the coming year (2013-2014). 
  
SATURN ~ 1st Retro in Scorpio *Journey & Process* 2012-2015 ~ I did write an article detailing the work I propose we do which I will post very soon but for now, you should just know who Saturn will be working with during this 2+ year time.  Anytime the Personal Planets are in Taurus/Scorpio or Leo/Aquarius, you will feel it.  Beyond that, Saturn will connect with North Node around Fall Equinox (9.16.2013) and Venus will be there at the same time as she moves through Scorpio 9/11 - 10/7.2013. Saturn will be directly involved in several of the Eclipses and will work well with all the other Water energy this year: Jupiter in Cancer; Chiron/Neptune in Pisces and the Mercury Retrogrades all year.

*Energetic* Guidance & Support

*WINTER* Solstice 2011

Our life is an apprenticeship to the Truth
that around every circle another can be drawn;
that there is no end in nature,
but every end is a beginning,
and under every deep
a lower deep opens.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~

Hi All ~ Happy Solstice! I have more to share before year's end, but wanted you to have the *Winter* Solstice energetic *support* to guide you through this weekend and in to the First Qtr of the year. There is a 37-min Audio that covers the *Winter* Solstice Overview, Chart and I-Ching Guidance. As you listen and *Initiate* your *NEW* Year, consider all the tremendous *support* we have from the current planetary movement, cycles and alignments. Solstice initiates our long-term goals, while within 48-hrs the Capricorn New Moon initiates our *personal* goals, the *NEW* Reality we'd like to fully experience in the coming year *2012*. You may want to reflect on the July 2011 Capricorn Full Moon *Release* work you did to clear a space for this New Reality to anchor. Capricorn energy is all about how you hold your own structures, maintain your own foundations and are responsible for your own contribution.

Now, consider Jupiter going Direct at Zero *Taurus* (12/25) right after the Capricorn New Moon (12/24). We've now (theoretically) completed the *Annual* Editing process Jupiter brings with its Retrograde. Taurus brings up what everything is *Worth* ~ what you're worth, what your investment in Self & Others is worth, where your values lie at this time and what your priorities are around your personal *comfort* and 3D existence are concerned. Jupiter is the larger *Story* but if you have any Taurus/Scorpio or Leo/Aquarius Activated in your chart, then it gets *personal* for you. For the rest of us, we need to consider the Houses ruled by those Signs to see where Jupiter is evolving our own personal stories.

The other thing that jumps out as relevant to mention is all of this Capricorn/Cancer Energy is a *Response* to the last energy (Sag/Gemini Eclipses etc) and *Preparation* for the next leg of the journey come Aquarius/Leo work. So Sag/Gemini got us all thinking in completely new ways, which is now catalyzing *Choices & Decisions* ... which will lead to what we are able to manifest in *Form* and stabilize so that it supports us going forward in to the next round of energetic *Work*.

The *Rhythm* goes something like this ...

Mutable Energy ~

~ Gemini/Sagittarius/Virgo/Pisces
~ Inspires the Ideas, Thoughts & Concepts

~ which catalyzes Direction
Cardinal Energy ~

~ Aries/Libra/Cancer/Capricorn
~ Inspires the Choices & Decisions

~ which catalyzes Action
Fixed Energy ~

~ Taurus/Scorpio/Leo/Aquarius
~ Inspires the Grounding & Consolidation

~ which catalyzes Stability

With all that in mind, note that Mercury will finish its extended stay in Sag by Jan 8th when it will move in to Capricorn. I suspect that will be when many of the *Ideas & Concepts* you've entertained and invested in over the last year will finally begin to take on a discernable *Form & Shape* that you can then build on. Jan 9th brings the Cancer Full Moon, which too will *Illuminate* which ideas will actually *Feed* you in some substantial way in the coming 6-months, most likely by revealing any *Famine* you've experienced over the last year. Now & Always, despite holiday *obligations* or any challenging *appearances*, the Universe continues to support our *Evolution* so tune in when/where you can and give a nod to the *Source* Energy which brings the *Blessings & Miracles* truly possible as we step in to this delicious & potent New Year! More Soon! I wish everyone a *Joyous* New Year!

PS - Click Here for Weekly Forecast to guide the remainder of the year. I'd like to point out the usefulness of co-creating with the Sun/Pluto *Annual* Activation (12/29) and all the Activations leading up to that one are your *Prep* Work.

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.

Hi All ~ I am so excited to celebrate the New Year with YOU! Whether you can physically participate or not, we always hold you in the Circle. In fact, MANY of you are already planning Sacred Ceremony around the world. There are all kinds of meditations and celebrations scheduled and the energies are really incredible because of converging cycles and rare planetary alignments, this year and next in particular (2010-2011). To that end, most of the *FREE* calls are geared toward the cycles and astrology of the time, however, we have *8* Sacred Seasons and *Winter* Solstice *INITIATES* the New Year and signals the Return of the Light! So this is more of a Sacred time and we are moving in to a space where our ways & means of *communication* are changing. Linear is tough. Heart-Centered is all that works these days. I want to invite you to share in our Solstice Celebration ~ which has evolved over the last 3 years. Together, we will honor the guidance, anchor our intentions and surrender to the *First* Step ... on the New *Path* of 2011.

We are honored to have Kathie Giove, a gifted artist & intuitive, joining us to close the Circle. If you feel called to submit a question regarding a symbol or dream, Kathie will pick one or two to interpret the message and decipher any Universal wisdom for us all to benefit from. She will also tune in to the energies and her guides and bring us other guidance for embarking on the New Year. Some of the things that have been mentioned so far are ... *heightened* sensitivity (sense when to be open or not) ~ fear of loss (visualize new forms) ~ powerlessness (liberation to shift your focus) ~ people have been having *wild* dreams bringing these issues in to the Light, and there are other ways to interpret the messages. Sometimes it's a warning, but sometimes it's guidance for the next step. Kathie is great at this!

~ CYCLES ~

Fall Equinox / September 2010 brought *2* Aries Full Moons, *Initiating* everyone to (at minimum) the next 6-months (to Spring Equinox 2011) of Full Moons at their final degrees, which are pushing the *Individual* each month to recognize, release and recalibrate ~ in preparation for ~ many more *major* Initiations coming soon. This was a delicious opportunity to clear the last 20-years (or more) and prepare space for a completely *NEW* Individual, Social and Collective *IDENTITY*. Now, we are coming up on Gemini Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse (3 of 6) which is also *Initiating* a major cycle last seen 2001-2003 (w. Gemini N Node) and 1991-1994 (w. Sag N Node). We can use the next 6-12 weeks (Winter Solstice to Spring Equinox 2011) to consciously course-correct aspects of our lives related to Gemini/Sagittarius. We are being asked to release the old, stale ideas, belief systems and stories and cultivate more vibrant, diverse, life-affirming stories which preserve and promote *LIFE*. When one rises, we all rise. It is time. Try to get out under the sky if possible, whether you can see the Eclipse or not, you can *infuse* your Being with the energy and vibration of this Full Moon that bathes and prepares your mind-body-soul connection to better assimilate the *Initiation* of Winter Solstice ~ a Clean Slate. New Beginning. 0* Capricorn / New Reality is seeded, simply through your focus ~ whether 5-minutes or 5-hours ~ it's the *quality* of your focus that matters. Take some time on your own to clarify what you've released with 2010 and what you're initiating with 2011. To simplify, use Dec 20th to *Complete/Release* (past) and Dec 21st to *Initiate/Anchor* (future) and be *PRESENT* the whole time!

~ ECLIPSES ~

The other thing worth mentioning at this time is that we will experience the Lunar Eclipse, a brilliant time to release old thought patterns and lifeless stories ... and then about *16* hours later, we have the brand New Beginning of *Winter* Solstice, when we seed our (Capricorn) reality for the coming year. Based on all that is stable and worthy, we expand on what we birthed in 2010 ... while that which has not taken root or proven sustainable, must be released so your individual resources can be redirected more efficiently. This is the time to plant your seeds that will quicken by *Spring* Equinox and fully bloom by *Summer* Solstice 2011.

~ SACRED SEASON ~

*Winter* Solstice ~~ Initiates the Solar year and welcomes the Return of the Light. Things appear dormant on the surface, however, much life is developing beneath the surface ~ in preparation for Spring. Still a time of relative darkness and limited mobility, you are most supported for working behind the scenes, communing with other realms, honoring darkness and silence and receiving information, nourishment and replenishment with a clear intention of strengthening yourself for soon-to-come action and forward movement. Next Season is a little more 'mental' but this Sacred Season is about what you *feel* on the deepest levels and creating space to move from that Center within ... out in to the world to be a useful and dynamic participant in Life. This is the time of year to set your intentions for what you want to create, within your own Being and out in the world through good works. It's time to strategize about the future, while building on what is solid and worthy. It's time to take the past year's 'fruits of your labor' and put them to good use. It's time to get serious and practical about what you want and create a plan for success.

*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,
have the strength to be compassionate,
and the wisdom to be humble.
Courage is the foundation of integrity.
~ Keshavan Nair, Author & Speaker ~

~ 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
Owning Your Power & Inner Authority
Being More Consistently Responsible & Self-Sufficient
Balancing Your Inner Feelings w. Your Outer Actions

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.

Cancer 2010 ~ Assimilate the New & Eliminate the Old

~ CANCER 2010 ~

Assimilate the New & Eliminate the Old
Which May Mean ...

Sideways, Backwards ... THEN Forward!

It was courage, faith, endurance
and a dogged determination
to surmount all obstacles
which built this bridge.

*Cancer* time, this year (2010) and next (2011), will bring us face-to-face with some major choices and decisions (Eclipses) which will likely require some form of *Assimilation* and *Elimination*. Cancer's gift is *Processing* all that passes through your *system*, taking in the nutrient (that makes the system work) and any excess or toxins that cannot be "assimilated" must be "eliminated". If you do not eliminate them, then blockages (and some form of dis-ease or discomfort) will occur. Quality nourishment (or what you take in to your *system*) is vital and *if* you have held on to anything that has not been put to proper use, then you may be particularly toxic (within or without), and you will have to Cleanse and Heal FIRST, before your can rebuild or fortify your structure (Capricorn).

Digestion, Assimilation & Elimination are truly Cancer's domain and one or all may require periodic "time outs" to process all that has come through your *system* over the last 6-months -to- 1-year (Sun/Moon) ~and~ 10-years ~ 20-years (Eclipses and because of these Eclipses, 2009-2011 Summers bring much more clearing than the usual annual process). Keep in mind that, on one or many levels, you have released the past, you've cleared space and created new *flow* that must also be properly directed ~ this is a 2-way process (in/out). Your Higher Self does this naturally, but ego/personality has preferences and can cause problems along the way. Your Soul has been very busy working on your behalf, positioning you for greatness, stripping the weakness and letting you know the areas of your life which have been in a famine (for however long, for whatever reason). *Cancer* time beckons, "come out of the storm (of life), dry off by a warm fire (your heart), replenish your Self with light-filled food and quality rest!" You are no good to your team, in fact you are a danger and liability to your team, if you are not centered, balanced, properly fortified and fully rested. When you ARE, then you can be alert and focused, strong and productive.

In more practical terms, *Cancer* is the time to restore your energy, replenish your physical and spiritual nutrients, stabilize your foundation, clear your physical body and personal space of the past, any debris and clutter and assess your inner and outer productivity with special attention to strengthening and fortifying yourself so you can CREATE come the next cycle (Leo time). If you work the *Cancer* energy to its fullest potential, you would stabilize within, clearing the channel to open the floodgates (allow flow), access your own deep well/reservoir of energy and resources (use what you've got), and ignite the fire of creativity (be heart-centered and passionate about what you are doing) so you can fulfill your potential and, ultimately, be of *Service* to your Self, your family, your community and the planet.

*Cancer*, being ruled by the Moon, is serious about letting you know that the natural cycles work best when you HONOR THEM, rather than resist! When you fight Nature (or any natural process), you will receive your due lesson unless or until you surrender and realize that (in general) "mom and dad" (Cancer/Capricorn) are right more than they are wrong. You have to give the deep emotions (which are being stirred at this time) a structure and purpose or you'll drown in them. With every penetrating realization, allow it to pass through your consciousness with the last thought being of the Light ... then, get the lesson and the blessing! from whatever memory, experience, choice, decision, and of course, feeling that comes up at this time ... and CLAIM your Truth, Infinite Light and the Highest possible outcome.

Keep in mind that whatever you're feeling can be useful. Trust that *feelings* are one of the major ways of communicating within, your moods are inner *messengers* bringing information in to your conscious mind. Often, we are bombarded by outer messages, very few of which are true or worthy, but simply there to DISTRACT you and/or DISCONNECT you from Source altogether. Your heart - your gut - your core - DEEP WITHIN your being, buried under layers and years of trying to work from the outside-IN ... is your *Inner Compass* just waiting for you to excavate and reconnect with it so it can serve Its true purpose of guiding you on your Path. Working from the outside-IN is not how it works, you HAVE to work from the inside-OUT. Yes, it is a glorious day for those of us who feel "backwards" in the 3-D world (I know I am not alone ;-)) I get the distinct impression we were just 'before our time' and NOW the Universe is READY! We must return to heart-centered, empathic, intuitive, receptive, Divine Feminine way of LIVING ... which is to create ~ contain ~ nurture ~ and protect ... and we're back to *Cancer* energy and lessons.

Remember, 'how you start is how you finish' and *Cancer* Initiates this quarter of the year ~ *Summer* Solstice -to- *Fall* Equinox ~ for there is deep value (and potency) in this (extended) moment in time. Cancer/Leo/Virgo prepares us for upcoming Libra/Scorpio/Sagittarius which will complete the annual cycle. Despite 3-D obligations, clocks, calendars, families, bosses etc all competing for your time and attention, I urge you to put on your 'invisibility cloak' and MAKE TIME for several periodic TIME OUTS (or one long one). Take some time to soak in the Light (before it recedes), bask, and while you're doing that, reflect on all that you've created with your energy and efforts over the course of the last 6-months -to- 1-year.

• How well did your efforts PRODUCE?
• How well did your investments (of all resources: time, energy & money) PROVIDE?
• What is the QUALITY of your return thus far?
• Are there areas of your life BLOSSOMING with overflow, bounty and beauty (and multiplying like crazy)?
• Are there still other areas of your life WILTING, dying on the vine, not being nourished properly or receiving enough Light?
• What do you WANT to do?
• What does your HEART say to do?
• What 'FEELS' right at the moment?
• What should you NOT attempt to continue to grow (in your life)?
• What should you pay some special attention to because you KNOW it will bear fruit if you would just give it some quality, direct and focused energy and attention?

This time, like all times,
is a very good one
if we but know what to do with it.

I'd also like to remind you that 2009-2011 also brings in Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses around the Solstice times, making it even more imperative that you make any decisions regarding 'course correction' at this time. With the Summer Retrogrades, you will have a unique opportunity (in this potent year of change) to regroup this *Cancer* season. *Summer* Solstice and the Sun moving in to Cancer *Initiates* the second half of the year every year and activates a deeply transformative *Integration* process with Pluto in Capricorn. Use this time, at least initially, to gather courage, cultivate integrity, tweak your plan and prepare for the delicious (and fun) creativity you will have access to next month.

Gemini 2010 ~ Cultivating Your Authentic Voice

The truth is that our finest moments

are most likely to occur when we are feeling

deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.

For it is only in such moments,

propelled by our discomfort,

that we are likely to step out of our ruts

and start searching for ...

different ways or truer answers.

Searching for "different ways" (Gemini) or "truer answers" (Sagittarius) ... May I remind you that as a "human" you are dual by nature (Gemini) ... and so much MORE! (Sagittarius) Add "human" to "being" and now you are *multi-dimensional*. I find it far more useful these days to look at the energies AND their polar opposites to get a more balanced understanding of what I am experiencing. And beyond that, I notice, I've been reminding people almost constantly that "life has become an 'AND' ... not an either/or". You have to multi-task to get ANYTHING accomplished and/or completed these days. Why is that? Because, you are SIMULTANEOUSLY: dying and being born anew; leaving the past behind and moving toward an unknown future; releasing and acquiring on a multitude of levels. You, my multi-dimensional friend, have many layers to your being which are being activated and/or shifted in dramatic and permanent ways.

Gemini time is the *approach* of the 6-month mark of the year and Summer Solstice, just as its polar opposite, Sag, is the *approach* of the culmination of the year at Winter Solstice. At this stage, we are still gathering information that will (hopefully) translate into Sag's wisdom come the completion of this annual cycle. Every year around Gemini time, several planets retrograde (appear to pull back, slow down or reverse altogether) indicating it is time to 'gather information' to make better decisions upon forward movement in a month or two. At this time, multiple aspects of our individual and collective lives require that we 'check-in' and 'assess' where we are, how far we've come and just how much further we have to go. Review the last 6 months so you can make any necessary adjustments for the upcoming 6 months, in the hopes of getting something worthwhile accomplished by year's end. At the half-way mark of any cycle you are given a choice ~ an opportunity to choose differently based on the experiences and information you've gathered thus far. So, how is 2010 shaping up for you? (Can you believe it is half over already?) Are you moving in the direction you want to be moving in? *NOTE* Summer and Winter Solstices are potent times of the year every year, they fall in Cancer / Capricorn every year, however, 2009-2011 also brings the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses. Your frame of reference for this Cycle will be 1988-1992 and 1998-2002. It is highly useful to work the Gemini/Sag Lunar and Solar energies each year, even more vital at this time.

Gemini energy brings to mind: change, duality, choice(s) to make, fork in the road or crossroads, and of course, transition. Gemini is ruled by Mercury, which moves along side the Sun in its travels through the sky so it is easiest to catch a glimpse of Mercury during dusk and dawn, when the Sun's light is coming or going. These are the two times a day also often recommended for meditation as the veils are thinner and COMMUNICATION is easier between the visible and invisible realms. Additionally, dusk and dawn also represent that potent in-between stage that transition represents. We stand at this zero-point of possibilities.

Transition originally meant "going across or over" ... as in changing from one state of form or being to another. What is powerful about this is not in the 'being here or there', but in being PRESENT wherever you are. If you are consciously participating in life, then this is a potent time for you. However, if you are overwhelmed and your systems are on overload, you are going to short-circuit and most likely have to go down, before you can go back up and function effectively.

The main dangers in this life

are the people who want to chang

everything ... or nothing.

Capricorn-Aquarius 2010: Dec 21-Feb 1

Capricorn/Aquarius 2010:

Dec 21 (Winter Solstice)

~thru~

Feb 1 (Cross Quarter/Candlemas)

*Winter* Solstice ~ initiates the Solar year and welcomes the Return of the Light. Things appear dormant on the surface, however, much life is developing beneath the surface ~ in preparation for Spring. Still a time of relative darkness and limited mobility, you are most supported for working behind the scenes, communing with other realms, honoring darkness and silence and receiving information, nourishment and replenishment with a clear intention of strengthening for soon-to-come action and forward movement.

Next Season is a little more 'mental' but this Sacred Season is about what you *feel* on the deepest levels and creating space to move from that Center within ... out in to the world to be a useful and dynamic participant in Life. This is the time of year to set your intentions for what you want to create, within your own Being and out in the world through good works. It's time to strategize about the future, while building on what is solid and worthy. It's time to take the past year's 'fruits of your labor' and put them to good use. It's time to get serious and practical about what you want and create a plan for success.

Marriage of Earth & Sky . . .
We are the "Spirit Children" of this Sacred Union!
Birthing Dreams: (Excerpt from Molly Hall of Astrology.About.com)
"The longest night is a fruitful time for setting intentions,
to be birthed with the newborn Sun. What you conceive now
can grow with the Sun, and gain momentum in Spring.
You might start a tradition of setting Winter Solstice intentions,
and in one year, see how many have come into being.
Put them in a special tin or box that has meaning for you.
The dark before the dawn, just like New Moons,
can be a powerful moment of magic, drawing in
what you'd like to see happen in the new year."

During this Sacred Season, the Sun makes the journey through ALL Capricorn and the first half of Aquarius. After Sag helps you anchor a new Truth/Story for the new year, Capricorn time comes along to anchor that Truth in the 3-D. This energy brings the Annual Reality Check: Do your inner and outer lives *match*? What's working? What's not? about your current reality. Capricorn is all about your inner authority to run your own life and will test your capacity to do so through various means. If you are being responsible for your own imprint on the planet, owning that your energy, thoughts, words and deeds are creating your reality (internal & external) and being honest with your Self, then you should be ready, willing and able to release the aspects of your structure and foundation which are worn out and require an infusion of new energy ... consider this your annual "upgrade". What will you build in 2010? What will you anchor? And how will your life become more structurally sound, richer and more meaningful?

2009 is officially over, 2010 has official begun ~ Winter Solstice is the *INITIATION*. If you cleared and released last year, then you are ready to begin building this new year. Because 2010 initiates with Mars (12/20) and Mercury (12/26) backwards, with Saturn closely following (1/13), you may feel a little limited or restricted. Release that! That is not the point of this energy. The point is that you are in completely new territory and you must take your time and process (Mercury Retro) the information presenting itself, you must review past actions (Mars Retro) to determine what will work here and now, and you must complete whatever you've started before you can expand on your plans (Saturn Retro). These three indicate that 2010 must be navigated with careful, practical thought, in connection with measured, heart-centered action so you can complete your individual healing (Saturn in Virgo) in preparation for creating solid relationships and community going forward mid-year (Saturn in Libra).

~ Power ~ Balance/Compromise ~ Options/Advantages ~ Opportunity to Grow ~ Blessings ~ ... are all available for us!

~ Power ~ (Conjunct/Conjunction)

The final connection (of 3) between Jupiter (Truth/Story) and Neptune (Vision/Unity Consciousness) happens on Winter Solstice, amplifying the power of renewal. The first one was in May, then July and now finally, in Dec. Reflecting on the previous contacts will give you an idea of how to proceed. There is always a *catalyst* (the first contact) then a *review* (pull back to go forward) and finally, fortified with healing and new information, *forward* movement. For those who have been consciously working on their healing processes for the last 10-12 years, the Healing Trinity is really solidifying all that work and rewarding all that dedication by fusing the fragments of your Soul, strengthening you for the next leg of your journey. For those who've avoided or suppressed their own true nature, ignored open or festering wounds (for whatever reason), the Healing Trinity has activated a process you can and should co-create with or it will be decidedly more lengthy and painful. Either way, while these three celestial bodies (Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron) separate (slowly), you still have access to unprecedented healing for another year or two and now is the best time to set your intentions.

12/21 ~ Jupiter/Neptune ~ Aquarius ~ ALL Air

The Sun has its annual cycle through the zodiac, however, Pluto is only in a sign for 10-20 years at a time and takes 248+ years to cycle through the zodiac. Pluto is the Purifier and the Sun represents your core essential Self. Every year they get together and clear out more of the deep, karmic debris within each individual, as well as the collective. Reflect on how your belief system was deeply altered and/or integrated over the years of 1995-2008 as Pluto moved through Sagittarius. Now that you're clear on what you believe to be "true", the shift of Pluto in to Capricorn initiates a new 16-year process of healing and purification. Those with Capricorn as their Sun Sign will get the biggest infusion over this cycle, but certainly everyone's Cancer/Capricorn Planets and Houses will be stimulated to transform and move to a new level of expression. Collectively, it is time to be responsible (Capricorn) for Self (Sun), own your innate power (Pluto) and direct it with more conscious awareness. With this combination, you can completely transcend your old Identity and step clean and fully in to a new one.

This energy extends to your thinking (Mercury) and your values (Venus), which are also being transformed as your Identity shifts. This is the year you will feel the urge to develop a whole new system for living that reflects your love for the planet, self-respect and concern for all *LIFE*. Because we are still talking Capricorn (responsibility) an Earth Sign, the energy is pushing you to make some physical, tangible moves. It's modality is Cardinal, which is the Initiator ~ it gets you moving, gets projects started and generally keeps things flowing. It's time to walk your talk on one or more levels. Keep in mind too that as you shift internally this dramatically, and since Pluto represents the *deepest* and most permanent transformation, it will affect those primary relationships and interactions near and dear to you (home, work, family, friends, relationships, partnerships and collaborations).

Sun/Mercury/Venus/Pluto ~ Capricorn ~ ALL Earth
12/24 ~ Sun/Pluto
12/28 ~ Venus/Pluto
1/4 ~ Mercury/Sun
1/5 ~ Mercury/Venus
1/11 ~ Venus/Sun

~ Balance & Compromise ~ (Oppose/Opposition)

As the Season progresses, and Sun/Venus move in to Aquarius, the energy will lighten up (from heavy Earth to lighter Air energy). You may want to infuse the renewed structure with your own unique *flava* ... which is developing behind the scenes with the on-going Mars Retrograde in Leo exactly opposite Sun (identity/core self) and Venus (values/priorities) in fiery, passionate, playful, fun-loving Leo. You may not be able to act on it just yet, but the Retrograde is extremely useful for reconnecting with your *Heart* and ultimately the innate *Courage* to love and BE your Authentic Self. This is a prime and potent opportunity to fully integrate your heart's desire with your unique gifts and talents, your ability to be passionate about community affairs and activate your inner flame of creativity. It's time to work from heart-center and co-create alternative solutions to how you're living. This balancing and integration will help you anchor your new priorities and balance your Masculine/Feminine dynamic within, as well as how you apply them to forward your goals and dreams. Watch the extremes to be too aggressive versus too passive. It's time to own who you are, what you want and develop a new system for going forward in this new space and time.

Venus/Sun in Aquarius / Mars Retro in Leo ~ Air/Fire
1/27 ~ Venus/Mars Retro
1/29 ~ Sun/Mars Retro

~ Options & Adavantages ~ (Sextile)

As the Sun (identity) and Venus (values/priorities) move through the last degrees of Sagittarius, engaging the power of the Galactic Center, and proceeding to activate the Healing Trinity in Aquarius, the fiery Truth creates an opportunity for the community or broader purpose to further expand. The lessons of Truth and Detachment will help you activate your imagination to create opportunities out of your current reality, no matter the appearances. Then as Sun/Venus immediately move in to Capricorn, assuming responsibility for Self and how you affect your world, they will connect with Uranus, the planet of true freedom. So it is safe to say that if you can accept responsibility, direct your power with care and consciousness, then freedom is yours by your own definition. How juicy!

Venus in Sagittarius / Jupiter/Neptune in Aquarius ~ Fire/Air
12/20 ~ Venus/Jupiter
12/21 ~ Venus/Neptune

Sun/Venus in Capricorn / Uranus in Pisces ~ Earth/Water
1/13 ~ Sun/Venus ~ Uranus

~ Opportunity to Grow ~ (Square)

As the Sun and Venus move through Capricorn, they are going to square off with Saturn in Libra who is already squaring off with Pluto. So again, because squares push us out of our comfort zones and in to new territory, you may as well co-create on whatever level you can at this time. As you begin to recognize more ways that your inner and outer lives do not match, this energy will give you the strength, courage and stamina to make the necessary, if major, corrections. With the added energy of the Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses, change is inevitable, so go with it and consciously address that which you deeply desire to change about your Self, your relationships and your environment. Use the frictional energy these aspects bring to break free of old paradigms which no longer reflect the real YOU. Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE IN & DON'T GIVE UP!! Navigating this time and processing these activations consciously will be duly rewarded. If you know, love and respect your Self, then you will want to cultivate strong relationships that reciprocate that love and respect. It won't be easy, but it will get done, so you may as well participate on whatever levels you are able. This whole year will reveal how well you maintain integrity and cultivate community, then a strong individual and a solid team of support will carry you through the next few years of truly radical new beginnings. This year is pivotal!! Don't waste even a second on looking backwards or petty distractions.

Sun/Venus in Capricorn / Saturn in Libra ~ Earth/Air
12/25 ~ Sun/Saturn
12/29 ~ Venus/Saturn

Anytime planets change sign or change direction, they slow down and gather strength, while beaming intense energy down to Mother Earth. Saturn has been in Virgo for the last 2+ years, restructuring your systems and healing your foundations in many ways, essentially preparing you for this shift in to Libra when you will be called to work with your family, friends and communities in new and different ways. On one hand, Saturn in Libra is going to reveal weaknesses in the structures of your primary relationships, so any that are falling apart already are likely to break down altogether. This is not a bad thing. This is a good thing because it will force all parties involved to *define their terms* with more clarity, allowing for deeper commitment. (This is a perfect time to renegotiate contracts of all kinds, starting with your Soul Contract.) Pluto in Saturn's sign suggests that *responsibility* rules the day no matter how you slice it. It is time to be responsible for what you build in your life and in the world. Pluto, ruler of death, rebirth and transformation, never destroys anything you truly need, desire or deserve. It's whole purpose is to strip you of the non-essential so you can connect with what IS *Essential*. This combo is very serious, but can also be seriously productive if channeled properly.

This is an ongoing activation to consciously work with for tangible results. Use this initiation stage to set your intentions about who you are and how you'd like to contribute to society in a meaningful way. Both of these planets will push you hard to develop their strengths and master their lessons, resistance is futile. It is much better to take stock of your relationships, of the work you do in the world, of balance and responsibility in your own life and see where/how improvements can be made. And then, most importantly, begin implementing whatever you can. You may not be able to do 'everything' but surely you can do 'something' ~ just start where you are, with what you've got. Conscious co-creation with this combo is the only way to lessen any stress or pain associated with the changes that are truly inevitable, so you may as well participate on whatever level you can at this time. Also, keep in mind that due to the path each planet takes, we will experience the peak of intensity during their exact contacts, but the vibe is on-going for the entire 3-years Saturn is in Libra, as Pluto continues its journey through Capricorn.

~ Blessings ~ (Trine)

As the Sun and Venus move through Aquarius, they will form a very easy aspect to Saturn in Libra, both being Air Signs. This will assist in helping you to periodically detach from the intensity of all the major shifts. It is important that you look within first, there you will need to assess how attached you are to any people, places or circumstances. If you can honor the Aquarian lesson of detachment and the Libran lesson of justice, then this blessing can be applied to creating win/win situations, both personally and professionally. It can also serve to help you make new friends, possibly with people you would not usually consider.

Sun/Venus in Aquarius ~ Saturn in Libra ~ ALL Air

Additional Thoughts:
2010 is about your Truth (Jupiter) ~ your purpose (Saturn) ~ and true transformation (Pluto). If you're still dealing with cleaning, clearing and releasing the past, don't feel 'late' to the party - you are right on time. But truly, 2010 is pretty much it ~ after this you may not only not recognize the world you're living in, but you won't recognize your own Being because you are a completely new person here and now than ever before. Bask in that ~ strengthen that Being ~ practice till you get a rhythm ~ you're closer than ever!

Questions to Contemplate: As you head in to the New Year, here are some things to seriously contemplate which will help you solidify the basic structure of the year. You will fill in the details as life unfolds ...

How Saturn, Uranus & Pluto

Are Changing Your World

"In Initiations, spending a significant period of time

under difficult conditions is part of the dismemberment

that severs one from ease and complacency.

As an Initiatory passage, it will come to a conclusion,

and the newly "sanded down" woman [person]

will commence a refreshed and enwisened

spiritual and creative life."
~ Clarissa Pinkola-Estes in Women Who Run With the Wolves ~

If Winter Solstice/December 2008 was the "Initiation" ~ then where do you stand 9-months later, with 3-months left to go on this year's evolution? How can you consciously contribute to living a "refreshed and enwisened spiritual and creative life"?

Back in December 2008, Pluto was working (for the first time) directly with the personal planets in Capricorn, clearing space for what Saturn in Virgo is ready to build *NOW*. As Saturn moves in to Libra over the next year, it will spend close to 3 years working with the Lord of Transformation to lay the foundation for the next 30 years (and beyond). This suggests that ... the thread that links *ALL* LIFE on this planet and the duality that forces us to cultivate balance (Libra) in our every move is the MOST IMPORTANT factor when considering what we will build (with Capricorn) to serve and support a large group of people (culture, community, country, society at large). The lessons of Libra and Capricorn are *BALANCE* and *RESPONSIBILITY* (respectively). The planets facilitating these lessons are Saturn and Pluto, who will teach you these lessons each in their own unique way, but bring them together and you will truly not be the same person on the other side of these particular activations, nor will it be the same physical world.

Saturn teaches through exposing the cracks in your personal foundation, where you are weak, fearful, frustrated, stagnated, and where you lack commitment and inner authority to make good choices for the long term/big picture (30 year cycle). (Whatever Sign your Saturn is in will have further implications worth examining.) Pluto teaches through exposing your deepest, darkest fears and blowing up any pent up, repressed, unexpressed natural energies ... leaving you raw, completely vulnerable and without any visible assistance (Invisible Assistance is needed here and always available). Pluto is the Ultimate Healer because it goes to the *ROOT* and prepares a truly *CLEAN & CLEAR* space for rebirth or re-creation to happen. You should want this clean start, because very often, 'how you start is how you finish'. So your own inner toxicity levels will determine how long and difficult the clean up will be. Whatever is dead within or around you must be removed for new life to even be able to take root. Pluto in Capricorn will leave us all with a renewed commitment to being responsible, individually and collectively, for the planet (and anything else) which gives and supports LIFE. We know the macro level manifestation of this, but on an individual level, what are you doing to clear a space, to live a life that PRESERVES LIFE & LIGHT?

These two TOGETHER ~ yikes! Change is inevitable, so you should consciously co-create when it is possible ... which is ALWAYS!! Your thoughts, feelings, words and deeds all manifest and, therefore, contribute to the collective results. This will not be easy, but it can be beautiful. We have a double dose of Saturn because it also rules Capricorn, which leads me to believe that we are *BUILDING* twice as much as we are *BULL-DOZING* (with Pluto). Pluto's most delicious contribution to Saturn's 'building' is that this is an unprecedented opportunity to build on *CLEAN* slate! Venus gets involved as She is the ruler of Libra and this too, is poignant. This reminds me of a quote from one of my teachers, on Venus ...

"Remembering that ...

the opposite of "aesthetic" is "anesthetic".
There is no solution to anything unless Venus is involved
- unless beauty and love are present."
~ Caroline W. Casey of CoyoteNetworkNews.com ~

Venus rules what we cultivate, where our priorities lie and what we value most about life. Adding Her to this potent mix can ONLY HELP! Venus also rules magnetics, how/what/who you attract. Venus is considered a personal planet; Saturn, a social planet; and Pluto, a collective planet. Venus has an 8 year Cycle; Saturn, a 28 year Cycle; and Pluto, a 248 year Cycle. So you can see how each affects us at these different levels, and now, simultaneously. It's now officially *ALL* vital ~ individuals / communities / species ~ ALL are vital and participating in the current evolution.

You can (and will) contribute to this evolution in ways that are likely closest to your own nature. Do you do things with calm, ease and grace? Or do you plan and execute with force and sheer will? Would you like to change from one way, to the other? Ahhh ... where does this lead? Right back to *BALANCE*. How about a delicious combination, in equal measure (by your own definition), the strong commitment and unwavering dedication (it usually requires to 'plan and execute with force') ... and ... self-assured grace, style and faith in Divine Time & Order. Yummmm! Use the available Elements, Air & Earth, at their most challenging and creative combination. This takes ideas and concepts and makes them tangible and 'real' (in some way). We must have balanced, creative thought ~co-creating~ with physical work in order to create positive, tangible, useful results. Squares in astrology sometimes mean "squaring off" and sometimes "crossroads/turning points" but always, they mean "moving out of a comfort zone and in to new territory". And from several years of close observation, I can attest to them also manifesting in both challenging and exciting, happy and sad, productive and debilitating ways. It usually comes down to your own individual nature, your available inner strength and fortitude, your personal view of the circumstances (pessimistic or optimistic) and ultimately, your faith and innate desire.

What do you want? How do you define "quality" of life? These *3* planets will assist with this very process ... aahhh - another useful Trinity! Tune in. Invite their energies to animate through you, in the Highest possible way. Embody each planet in the most positive way you can conjure at this time. Co-create. It is time. It is also completely supported. Envision the Infinite Potential of *NOW* ... go with it and build something even better than before.

2009 Eclipses: 'Tis the Season of *LIGHT*

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.

Nature's peace will flow into you

as sunshine flows into trees.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you ...

while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

John Muir, Naturalist

Eclipses are all about *LIGHT* distribution. We always talk about "BEING the Light" ... "Embodying the Light" ... recently Caroline W. Casey used "Translating the Light" and I came across an eclipse picture, "Catching the Light" ... Tis the Season of Light! We have an unprecedented opportunity to tap in to this *Light* energy for deep soul work, fusion and strength and the calls have been a tremendous resource for all who participate, near and far.

This two week period between the Capricorn Full Moon / Lunar Eclipse and the Cancer Super / New Moon / Solar Eclipse is your opportunity for a *CLEANSING* ... to *RELEASE* the true potential of the seeds you planted at the Capricorn *NEW* Moon December 27, 2008, clearing a space for your intentions to manifest. You can *CLEAR* blockages where your 'flow' is concerned; you can see the Divine Order in delays; you can release fear and over-sensitivity; and with all the releasing you do, keep in mind you are *CLEARING* that which is no longer necessary to the structure and foundation (Capricorn) of your life. Acknowledge any regrets, mourn any losses and say goodbye to the past, while acknowledging that your journey thus far has led you to here. Now, it is time to *BUILD* a life based on a reality of your own choosing and definition, a life you create with your *HEART* and your own two hands. I love Eckhart's question: "Can I BE the SPACE for This?" Can you "be the space" for ... Quality of Life. Present Moment. Laughter. Silence. Sunshine. Rain. Rhythm. How are you preparing the structure of your body, your life and your life's work to handle what you say you WANT? Are you READY? If so, BUILD! If not, continue to PREPARE until you are!

This is no small cycle, it is 9-10 years and 18-20 years long. 1990-1992 was Capricorn and 2000-2002 was Cancer, so our individual experience of this energy is going to be: some are at the point of CLOSING out the last 20 years and INITIATING the new 20 years (before we experience the current energy again). Note that *NOW* is the Capricorn cycle which is further intensified by Pluto's 16 year journey simultaneously. Some will be attuned to the Cancer cycle, the half-way point, and will get to their completion/initiation in 9-10 years (2018-2020) when we hit Cancer again. Be assured that we are *ALL* deeply processing *BOTH* on some level, probably wherever Cancer/Capricorn resides in your chart. I highly recommend the Divinations for this special Lunation and recent calls.

Every astrologer has their primary focus, and one of mine is: *CYCLES*. 6-Months of the year, we are reaching toward the life-giving Sun, while the Light lasts longer, facilitating blooming and blossoming within and without ... now we are shifting toward the next 6-Months of focusing on *ROOTS* ~ anchoring all that we've seeded this year and working behind the scenes, remembering that 'seeds germinate in the darkness' so Mother, in Her Infinite Wisdom, has encoded this *RHYTHM* within all living Beings. What will ground and sustain you during transition and the general storms of life on Earth? What is working - what is not? As you connect with what you've co-created this year, rather than allow the distraction of what DID NOT happen as you planned (or at all), focus on *PRESERVING* the best aspects of what you did create. In other words, work with what you have, *BUILD* on what is delicious and juicy and full of flava! and throw the rest either back in the cauldron for further cooking or out to the compost pile to be recycled altogether. It is time to find ALL the possibilities in the Here & Now in preparation for clearing and planting new seeds come Winter Solstice 2009.

We just passed Summer Solstice and move toward the mid-point to Fall Equinox, some call it Lammas, another Sacred Season and energetic shift that happens around August 1st or when the Sun hits 15° Leo (August 8th). With Pluto intensifying things and the Eclipses bringing sudden endings and new beginnings and Venus/Mars traveling together, tag-teaming the larger Cycles (Healing Trinity and Saturn/Uranus among them), it can feel overwhelming at times. However, that is not the best use of this energy. Right now, up to August 8th, you should be conscious of all that you have created and helped to grow. Then August 8th to Fall Equinox you should be assessing the results of your choices, thoughts, words and actions throughout the year and extending your current resources to sustain you when you close out the year, rest, replenish and initiate the new year at Winter Solstice. And how *PERFECT* is the cycle between Fall Equinox and Winter Solstice is Samhain (15° Scorpio / Nov 8th), All Saint's Day (Nov 1-2), Halloween (Oct 31) ~ a time we, in the Power Circle, devote to honoring the *ANCESTORS* ... so you get to process your year, and call on your Invisible Helpers for additional guidance and direction, then pull inward to hold your own counsel before planting the seeds of the *NEW*. Yummmmmm!

I am comforted by life's stability,
by earth's unchangeableness.
What has seemed new and frightening
assumes its place in the unfolding of knowledge.
It is good to know our universe.
What is new ... is only new to us.

Pearl S. Buck, Writer

Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses ~ 2009-2011

Re*Calibrating Who You Are

Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually. Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.

The Eclipses are considered "course correctors" ~ whether you're a little (or a lot) off 'course' ~ and they are "intensified" solar and lunar energies pouring around and through you (no matter your level of consciousness). Things will be particularly intense now as we approach the eclipses. In addition, the first Super / New Moon in Cancer falls on June 22nd during one of the Sacred Seasons, Summer Solstice celebrated around June 20-21. This is a celebration of the LIGHT ~ a peak in the energies and a culmination of all that you initiated at Winter Solstice for this year. This is the half-way mark, how is your year unfolding?

The Solar Eclipse will be activating your physical body, while the Lunar Eclipse will be activating your emotional body, but together, your spiritual body should go to a completely new level. The lessons this month will center around emotional and material security; home and work; sacred space and sacred work; private and public life; Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine; Archetypal Mother and Father. How can you be more responsible for your feelings and what you create in the world? How can you connect to a deep sense of belonging and an authentic sense of responsibility for your life and life's work?

The Cancer/Capricorn Eclipses happening 2009-2011 will activate energy reminiscent of 2000-2002 and 1990-1992. This does not mean that events from then will repeat now, only that you will be facing similar choices in the same areas of your life you were dealing with then. As it relates to your Sacred Space/Home ~AND~ your Contribution/Heart-Centered Work ... consider the following questions.

• What were you going thru then?
• What lessons of emotional balance and responsibility were you completing? and initiating?
• How were your definitions of Home & Work shifting, changing, evolving?
• What were you learning about your ancestors?
• What "primary mountain" were you trying to climb at that time?
• How was your family structure changing?
• How was your career evolving?
• What was your definition of Emotional & Material Security?
• Who were the people in your private/intimate circle?
• Who were the people in your public/professional circle?
• How were you opening up to a new level of existence? How was the millennium kicking off for you?

... NOW ... How are things shifting and changing in your life TODAY? Consider the above questions for here and now TODAY. How will you CHOOSE DIFFERENTLY NOW?
