✶ Medicine Buddha ~ Tara Moon ~> June 5th/6th __/❤\__ Sacred Star

There are times when the heavens specifically concentrate upon certain energies. This First Quarter Moon with the Gemini Sun and Virgo Moon is such a time, as the emphasis of ‘The Lights’, Sun and Moon, spotlight healing of all kinds: physical, mental and spiritual.

Be aware of the mind’s ability to influence progress, remaining positive is crucial to the speed of recovery. Try not to wallow in any mire, focus instead up that which brings joy. Quicksilver Gemini Sun is still conjunct healing asteroid Hygeia, who was wife/aid to Aesculapius, the father of our modern medicine, accenting the call for swift solutions (though to be fair, family/media issues may be slowed by Mercury retrograde, starting 7th June for three weeks); The Sun in hard aspect to thoughtful and considerate Virgo Moon suggests having the ability to change course and think quickly, even whilst on the move.

This profoundly healing Moon phase also configures the enchanting six-pointed Grand Sextile, a sacred star formation connecting a stabilizing Earth Trine with the deeply intuitive current Water Trine. Though this beautiful star formation is fleeting, indeed, it will be waning tomorrow, the celestial energy for 5th and 6th June is still very much geared towards overcoming obstacles by being both, realistic AND magical. En route to the karma multiplied Saka Dawa Full Moon on the 13th, now is the time for helpful visualization and practical application to any problem. So keep in the mind's eye an end image, and be prepared to move fast to apply speedy solutions to any issue, no matter how big or small the difficulty might seem.

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” Buddha

☩ Grand Cross & Grand Sextile = Metatron ~> Manifesting spirit into matter__/❤\__ May 9-10th

✡ ☩ ☼ ✶ ☽
__/❤\__
There are times when the heavens create truly sacred geometry. And in this merry month of May, on the day when we honor our (inner) teacher, Guru Rinpoche Day, we have one of these beautifully rare celestial moments that sparkles with LoveLight. While the dynamic ‘Cardinal Cross of the Central Spiritual Sun’ is still active until the end of May (and with varying intensity into next year), a most magnificent ‘Grand Sextile’, with a double tetrahedron, fleeting forms a six-pointed star to bless us for the next day or so. This star is similar to the one from last summer, in as much as it is feminine and yin in nature, with the two interlocking ‘Grand Trines’ in Earth and Water elements, accenting emotional steadiness and the ability to handle peaks and troughs more easily.

Emphasizing emotional healing through unconditional compassion (starting with one’s self), the Virgo Moon brings helpful practicality to the fore. By seeing the bigger picture of how we are intricately connected to each other and our environment, we can expand the heart-mind with loving kindness; allowing insight into past karma to continue throughout the United Nations Vesak Full Moon (13th-14th-15th May). During this period, a profound spiritual stability and transformation is inevitable when letting-go of psychological power-mongering baggage enables one to feel lighter and freer to shine and radiate natural goodness.

May your sacred stars always twinkle, my friends

△ Taurus Sun sextile Jupiter in Cancer ~ May 5-6-7-8th '14

Living in the present is the way of a mindful spiritual warrior. To be aware of each moment means we can live life to its fullest. But still, on a relative level, it sometimes helps to look back and assess how we’ve come along when developing potential. In astrology it is the planet Jupiter that provides the 360° perspective of past, present and future, giving us the ability to measure time, distance, and our association with Oneness.

Since Solstice ’13, optimistic Jupiter has been exalted in sensitive Cancer, from where he soothes painful past memories at the same time offering hope for the future. And as Cosmic Guru, beneficent Jupiter holds a key role in being able to synthesize the activity of this particular moment in time, through the currently waning Cardinal Cross which pressed the surge button for dynamic spiritual growth.

As well as being involved with a magical Grand Water Trine (leading to another Grand Sextile, Sacred Star later this week!) which generates responsible healing on deep cellular level, Jupiter is also making his last major aspect to the stabilizing Taurus Sun, Tuesday 6th May, in a closing cycle which ends, and therefore marks a fabulous new beginning with the Full July SuperMoon, still two months away. This, therefore, is the time to head to the top of the metaphoric mountain and imbibe some of Jupiter’s encouraging wisdom; with panoramic vision find space to relax with plans and ideas, and see what needs to be brought together in order to peacefully move into and embrace the changing world. All the while Goddess Venus, now in assertive Aries, is nudging up to visionary Uranus, reminding us to love living in the present, wherever we may be. After all, ‘now’ is all we have and is the springboard into the future. Best use each moment wisely. ☼✶•*¨*•.¸¸✶

✶ Sacred Star & Cosmic Cross ☩ ~> August Bank Holiday '13

✶▼△ ☼ Glorious planetary activity shines upon this August bank holiday weekend, with two very rare configurations happening at the same time; both alignments constellate together from the early hours of Sunday morning, 25th August, until the end of the month, creating magical sacred geometry that unifies the heart-mind: The stabilizing focus of the ‘Cardinal Cross of the Central Spiritual Sun’ provides direction and ambition, stimulating critical spiritual mass to encourage individual awareness to acknowledge the Divine within all things. The longer lasting pattern (until 7th September) is a welcome return of the mystical Six-pointed Star, aka Grand Sextile, the Double Tetrahedron, Merkaba, Star of David, Seal of Solomon (which I’ve written about in depth already).

The difference now is how the Sacred Star involves the illuminating ‘Lights’, Sun & Moon, highlighting feminine elements Water and Earth. As a perfect solar Virgo Goddess makes a wonderful aspect to Luna, exalted in fertile Taurus, this is Goddess power to the max, adding strength, beauty and wisdom within, sequencing subtle psychic sensitivity with a rare celestial empowerment that can at once activate deeply felt compassion and loving kindness, with the practical ability to remain grounded in peace and LOVE no matter what the circumstance. As His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama says “The more you are motivated by Love, The more Fearless & Free your action will be.”

Have a wonderfully starry end of August! _/♥\_

New Leo Moon ♥ • • •( ( (☾ ◯☽) ) )• • • ♥ August 2013

Majestic Leo is ruled by the life-giving Sun, which is central to the cross-quarter marker for the height of this season. Now, as the golden Sun radiates warmth through the light of the soul, we observe the ‘Fixed’ Solar Fire festival accenting the glowing Heart of the Leo Sun, a time of joyful relaxation and abundance, when summer's first grains ripen in the northern hemisphere, and days lengthen in the south. At the same time, a New Moon at 14 degrees of fiery Leo, on Tuesday, 6th August at 22:50bst kindles Leo’s sacred flame of unconditional love-light.

Compounding the light blessings, the commanding Leo Sun and Moon are currently with asteroid Vesta, Fire Goddess of hearth and home, who purifies and tends the sacred flame with unfailing devotion. All three are currently in a challenging aspect to the karmic Dragon’s head and tail. This mythical meeting of Dragon and Lion suggests we’re at a potentially enlightening turning point, one that could avoid burn-out and bring about practical earthy healing to a specific heart-felt cause; by shining the Leo Love-Light into the deepest recesses of our (collective) psyche we can now clearly see what needs to be powerfully transformed in order to safeguard the heart-mind, and shared resources.

_/♥\_ From the Buddhist perspective, both Lion and Dragon are symbolically important iconography. Like Leo, the dragon is a creature of great creative power, with positive yang dynamism, whilst the regal Lion is dignified and loving, playful and cheerful. Bodhisattvas, beings who attain a high level of spiritual development, are often called ‘Buddha’s Lions’; and Buddha’s teachings ‘the Lions’ Roar’. As such, Lions are also royal dharma protectors, found at the entrance to many temples, often holding up thrones for Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, indicating formidable strength and competence.

☼☽ So while this New Leo Moon provides the will to exercise wisdom that protects a faithful heart and advances the creative spirit with generosity and love, remember there is also room for a sprinkling of inscrutable Dragon magic to enhance these rare moments of the influential six-pointed star of the Grand Sextile, flowing in and out of perfection throughout this month of August. ☼☽¸¸.•*¨*•☆ ♥

 

 "Let your love flow outward through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth".
~> Sutta Nipata

☼ ✶☽ ~> Last Quarter Tara Moon & The Grand Sextile

Anchoring the flower-of-life perfection to this summer’s ‘Grand Sextile’ is an exalted Moon, in practical and stabilizing Taurus. In her last quarter phase, this sensitive and unpretentious Moon is assigned the liberating qualities of the Great Mother Goddess, Tara. With the strength and magic of today’s six-pointed Sacred Star, the double Tetradhedron formed between Water & Earth Triangles, this transcendental stargate maintains internal balance, aligned in hexagonal harmony with heaven and Earth. Now is the time to awaken the Divine Feminine (within), and open the heart chakra to love, kindness and peace.

The ancient Sanskrit word for the heart chakra, ‘Anahata’, means ‘to come unstuck’, as the heart releases electromagnetism that flows through and around the body and aura – energy that connects internal meridians within mind-body and spirit, as well as externally, interacting with each other. An open heart-mind raises self-esteem, and supports unconditional love and compassion, promoting a powerful spiritual healing that the abundantly restorative vibration of the Green Tara now quickly invokes. Today’s sacred geometry suggests this is indeed a very special last quarter moon ~> Give Love. Receive Love. Be Love.

✶ Grand Sextile _/✶\_ Sacred Geometry ▼ ▲ July 29th 2013

Loaded with creative tension and opposition, the Grand Sextile - even one as blissfully mystic with a Water Trine interlocked with the stabilizing Earth Trine - can sometimes feel powerful and impenetrable, as though we are dealing with a Cosmic Sheriff, wearing an authoritative shiny star. While some ‘hold the star’s light’, others may even sense this planetary pattern patrolling or blocking the flow (of emotion, love, money, dreams) as though there is no way out, particularly when dealing with the simultaneous trickier aspects also happening (dynamic Mars opposition controlling Pluto, for instance, or Spirit Sun square karmic Saturn). Yet take heart, there is a slight gap in this weekend’s dramatic six-pointed Seal of Solomon (aka Star of David, or Metatron), where one can slip through to calmly observe what is happening (within), and without fear.

This heavenly portal to objectivity currently operates between the destiny-fulfilling North Node and Saturn, which means that by taking personal charge for one’s own action (karma), we enable access to our own inner, moral authority. Even so, that may seem like a challenge, as current forces can seem so muddy, lacking clarity or fairness – particularly with issues that relate to ‘the end of matters’, investments and shared enterprises – personal and/or professional. But the Saturn-North-Node connection (which gets stronger over the coming months) urges one to now practice discipline and mindfulness and develop intuitive insight.

While internal and external change takes place in our lives, it is how we react that makes all the difference to a situation being something which expands the spiritual heart-mind. In the words of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, “real change happens in the heart”. For when we accept the responsibility to change the way we look at things, the things we look at also change. Thus we self-empower to do what is ethically right by all beings, with a tender concern.

✶ Grand Water trine ~ July 2013

▼ Now the summer’s 'Grand Earth Trine' begins to stabilize the ‘Grand Sextile’, as the elements Earth and Water highlight the management of resources and material ambition, as well as clarifying the flow of deep and powerful emotion.

▼ At the same time a second Grand Water Trine also begins its long-lasting constellation (until mid-September), with development between the magical Piscean Shaman, Chiron, aspecting our destiny-fulfilling North Node, presently in Scorpio; together they form a powerful triangle with a brief conjunction between Mercury & Mars, in Cancer. While this 'Grand Water Trine’s' latter two planets encourage a stream of care and active communication, the basis of the Water triangle is firmly upon renewing resources that purify obscuration and generate spiritual healing. Insight into and about previously untapped realms requires constant compassion.

Warrior Mars is weak at the moment, in its position of fall, and with fleet-footed Mercury, is often depicted as rushing and careless, where speed can become a form of aggression (which we saw yesterday (July 25th) with dangerous consequences and the train crash at Saintiago de Compostelle, one of Europe's most important places of Christian pilgrimage). Best learn the lesson: proceed with caution, tread lightly and leave a small footprint; and still aim for emotional regeneration. _/▼\_ ☼✶•*¨*•.¸¸✶

✶ Grand Sextile & the Grand Water Trine ~ purify, renew & generate Bodhicitta - July 2013

17th July ~> Perfecting over the next couple of days, and providing a portal for developing deep spirituality (& good practice days), is the Summer's Grand Water Trine between an exalted Jupiter in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio & Neptune, at home in Pisces. This incredibly rare formation between three powerful planets in feminine water signs can harmonize being in your flow, enhance intuitive psychic sensitivity, and activate deep compassion for all beings. To the power of three, trines add a magical pyramid power to the spiritual quest: Jupiter provides perspective, Saturn stability and Neptune Divinity; Cancer enhances feelings, Scorpio insight, and Pisces the imagination. The Water triangle can give us the ability to see the bigger picture and care about what we see so that we can purify, renew, and totally refresh thought, word & deed, physically, psychologically, and perhaps most importantly, our understanding of ‘Bodhicitta’, the precious essence of awakened heart-mind. ~> Om Ah Hung! __/♥\__

"Precious, sublime bodhicitta:
May it arise in those in whom it has not arisen,
May it never fail where it has arisen
May it go on increasing, further and further!" .... _(♡)__(♡)__(♡)__(♡)__(♡)_

Six-Pointed Sacred Star ✶ Grand Sextile ✶ Interlocking Water & Earth Triangles ~ July 2013

_(▼)_This triple-whammy moon-ruled Super-Moon Cancer lunation is bringing powerful waves of emotional intensity for everyone to ride, be they personal or mutual feelings, sensations are cosmically bound to be strong, as indicated by the Grand Water TrineS coming to perfection this week, on the 17/18/19/20th July (& the 20th is the day Mercury goes forward!).

_/✶ \_ A week later, starting 27th July, a magnificent Six-Pointed Star once again creates the summer’s Grand Sextile, with interlocking Grand Earth & Water Trines, invigorating celestial sweetness that can enhance and stabilize unseen bio-force, 'chi', through meditation, yoga, mantra, tantra, prayer, dance, music, healing, and basically serving humanity, both spiritually as well as practically. This Six-Pointed 'Star' has the potential to tap into the creative feminine life-force to generate peace and love - so much so that kind souls have created a 'harmonic convergence’ which we can all join and empower the Goddess (within); and has been twinkling in and out of focus since the extremely potent medicine Buddha Moon, June 16th.

This Sacred Star, a the double tetrahedron, a.k.a. Metatron's cube, creates symbols of both, the flower of life, and the Tree of Life, was also in celestial play at the first turning of the Dharma wheel, on the karma multiplied x10-million day, July12th. And it sharpens up the six-points again as we go into the last quarter Tara Moon when Venus is in Virgo, which is just after our third and final Super Full Moon of 2013 on July 22nd. All the while the double Water Trines undulate through the collective consciousness, with powerful and emotion coming up from often suppressed and deepest recesses, activating the Water triplicity’s qualities: Cancer’s personal and familial care and loving kindness (Metta), Scorpio’s social intensity and laser-like insight (Vipassanna) and Pisces’ compassionate ego-dissolving, embracing unconditional love into the communal heart-mind (Karuna).

These energies are powerful. And one must take care not to get swept along by collective hysteria or confusion. There is also a Black Moon Lilith, ‘Kali’ momentum to deal with, which involves cutting the root of ego and the prevention of anger and retaliation (more on that in another post); but suffice to say that the Grand Earth Triangle enables one to remain grounded whilst feelings, thoughts and ideas flow – a bit like the Temperance card in the Tarot, contained yet aware of a powerful flow and movement.

Thanks as always to the amazing Visual Alchemy for ‘Sprouting’
