The Sun moves into Sagittarius today, Saturday, with a New Moon in the
sign of the centaur, advocating we make the most of the creative spark
during this last fire sign month in the year
of the Wood Horse. Sun and Moon are with Goddess Venus, helping to
raise the cosmic love vibration and general back-slapping bonhomie. But
be aware how ‘The Lights’ are also conjunct prudent Saturn, suggesting a
cautious kind of optimism is called for, also that we need to cultivate
tact, patience and tolerance, especially when dealing with long-term
travel plans, business expansion and religious differences.
The
Archer encourages positive progress, urging one to open the mind, think
big and aim high. Saturn is soon to enter this philosophical sign: from
the end of December, and for the next couple of years, the spheres which
are increasingly important to grow general overall happiness are
through faith and hope and, perhaps most importantly, by being kind and
willing to understand those who don’t appear to have the same beliefs as
us. In the words of His Holiness, Dalai Lama "In the practice of
tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher." Its worth bearing in mind
how the enemy needn't be external, but internal with our faults and
delusions.
Ultimately, Sagittarius teaches us that we inhabit a
big wide world, full of wonder and joy; and it is our experience within
this sphere that gives life its most profound and perceptive meaning.

☼ ✶☽ The purifying and healing power of this lunar cycle's Balsamic Virgo moon is phenomenally strong, as Lunar Dakini provides the Divine feminine's much- needed therapeutic touch in degenerate times. With dedicated care and organization, negativity can now be banished into the void from whence it came.
✶ Among four celestial bodies in Scorpio (including asteroid Pallas Athena, strategic female policy maker) the fixed Scorpio Sun conjuncts Karmic Saturn. Lessons we learn from authoritative Saturn are always serious and important; in Scorpio, the issues tend to be emotionally charged and intense. And when the Sun meets Saturn light is shed upon profound and sometimes dark and difficult subjects, such as death and inheritance, letting-go and renewal. Marking boundaries and being more disciplined and responsible may help to operate easily within a framework that transforms challenging circumstance into stabilized, workable situations. Good time to get real and tidy-up one's act.
Be ready for the New Moon at 0Sag on the 22nd, which brings enthusiasm, hope and truth to the fore…. ~~>
Happy Dakini Day! _/\_

Thursday, 13th November 20014 it is the last ‘Buddha Day’ of the year, and a
multiplied karma day, when the effect and merit of actions, thoughts.
and words are multiplied by 100,000,000!
Be mindful throughout the day. Lha-bab Duchen is one of the most
important days in the Buddhist calendar. This 22nd day of the 9th
Tibetan month sees the celebration of Buddha’s return to earth after
three months and seven days of dharma teaching to his mother in the
realm of the 33, the sphere of the Deva’s. So that his mother could be
liberated from Samsara, and to repay her kindness, is an act considered
to be one Buddha’s eight ‘great deeds’.
From the heavenly
bliss realms, Buddha Shakyamuni returned to Earth to continue teaching
dharma via a triple ladder made by Vishvakarma, the Hindu god of
architecture and machines. Built from gold, crystal, and Lapis Lazuli,
the ladder stretched all the way from Mount Meru. At the appointed hour
(on the last quarter moon) on the right-hand golden ladder appeared the
all-powerful, all-seeing Bramha, with the fine form deities; on the
left-hand crystal ladder came Dorje wielding Indra, with the Lords of
the sensual worlds; while Buddha descended via the central Lapis Lazuli
ladder, representing the middle path, as well as an intimate relation
with the realms of meditation, infinite space and infinite
consciousness; thus bringing heaven to earth, illustrating how to
overcome the duality of form and formlessness.

Tonight’s intense Full Moon in Taurus @ 22:22 GMT (double master
numbers!) highlights our need to feed spirit and soul, heart and mind,
with nourishing food, ideas, and feelings that strengthen and encourage
our natural, inner-radiance to shine.
Spirit Sun in Scorpio
also conjuncts Venus, the sensual Love Goddess and ruler of Taurus,
doubling the emphasis upon beauty and joy and LOVE’s transformational power, as well as offering insight into our personal and shared values, and all the heart holds dear.
Remember that only Love conquers Fear. And that self-love is as
important as loving others. In the words of Stevie Wonder “If you can’t
love yourself, who can you love?”

Honoring ancestors, as well as the recently departed, tonight’s
Halloween festival venerates the profound emotions of Scorpio, sign of
death and rebirth. Over the next few days and nights, during this month
of regenerative Scorpio, the veils thin between the worlds of the
living, those passed and those yet to
come; as the hallowed souls of those gone beyond bequeath a reminder of
magic and mystery, and the connections to kindred spirits enhance
psychic abilities, intuitive insight and prophetic dreams.
So
when looking up and around to see if any witches are flying on
broomsticks, or Kinkara* dancing the cremation grounds, also note a
beautiful First Quarter healing Medicine Moon, gliding across the starry
firmament like a golden offering bowl, brimming with unconditional
compassion. In Aquarius, this First Quarter Halloween Moon accents the
human soul’s capacity for tremendous restoration by delving into the
beauty, joy and meaning of life, in all its intensity. Reap now the
blessings of the departed, knowing spirit never dies, but in the never
ending cycle of life, death and rebirth, it is the essential spirit
which only transforms.
May all souls, saints and spirits be happy and healed, now and always, with ℒℴѵℯLiGHt
