Buddha Purnima ~ ☼ ♉ -- ◯ ♏ 3rd/4th May

Buddha Purnima – Wesak - Vesak is the Full Moon (exact tonight/tomorrow morning 4:42BST @14 Scorpio) when much of southern Asia celebrates the birth, death and paranirvana of Gothama Siddartha Buddha. The Himalayan Buddhist community will celebrate the same features during Saka Dawa, the ‘Star Moon’ next month (June 2nd).

☸ Like the Buddha, one can reap now profound insights during this extremely powerful Full Scorpio Moon, which one can apply to maintain a healthy sense of self-worth and emotional stability. Spirit Sun in Taurus encourages us to appreciate what is of value in this life. Whereas the Scorpio Moon imparts an inner sensibility, which intuitively knows when it is time for renewal, and when to let go or ideals, materials and even people that no longer serve the union of spirit and soul, and the part one plays within the soul groups’ contract.

☸ With both Sun and Moon in hard aspect to expansive Jupiter in generous Leo, this tends to magnify any self-made drama so it is essential that we become big-hearted, kind to ourselves and others and generate faith in our optimism. While it is important to harness Jupiter’s ability to view a bigger picture, it is also imperative to be realistic, and keep a close eye upon personal expectations. With Jupiter’s unrestrained nature we can set ourselves up for disappointment if we watch things, people and events come and go without understanding that all is transitory.

☸ This Full Moon is also called 'the Flower Moon'. Buddhists use the symbol of a flower to symbolise life’s fleeting nature: resting one’s gaze upon nature we can appreciate the beauty and joy inherent in all things, yet understanding that beauty fades and dies, only for the seed of consciousness to be reborn, by releasing any propensity to rely upon the material world for fulfilment. Now is the time for the spiritual seed of enlightenment to grow and shine.

With thanks to Visual Alchemy for Beautiful Buddha, & sending ℒℴѵℯ on the moonbeams, especially to everyone in beloved Nepal, where there were 3 more eathquakes today, and renewal is for the future to rise like a phoenix from the ashes, but for many survival is the present. Please give generously: a kind thought, prayer or donation can go a long way.
Thank you, Laura__/❤\__ ☼✶•*¨*•.¸¸❤✫

△ Grand Fire Trine ~ April 2015

△ The beautifully inspiring 'Grand Fire Trine' between the exalted Aries Sun with Uranus/Mercury, forming a triangle between fellow signs with Jupiter in Leo, and Saturn in Sagittarius, generates a dynamic kind of magnetism this week which can raise the heat in certain situations, as well as burn away the dross. One of the planets involved in this fabulously creative Fire Trine, Jupiter, the cosmic magnifier is also going direct on Wednesday, after four and a half months retrograde motion, giving a greater perspective on matters of the heart, devotion, and spiritual treasures.

△ When a planet ‘stations’ upon certain degrees (to go either direct (as in Jupiter’s current case) or retrograde) it heightens the importance of the issue denoted by that degree, deepening the meaning of any associated experience. At 12 degrees Leo, beneficent Jupiter suggests it is now time to be strong, shine, and grow the love by opening one’s heart to the creative spirit.
△ It’s also worth bearing in mind how the degrees 12-15 Leo are amongst this year’s celestial hot spots, because both planetary benefics, Jupiter AND Venus (when she retrogrades in the late Summer), constellate these degrees for the heart-mind to re-balance yang motivation, solar channels and the solar plexus, for spiritual practice to operate within distinctly warmer and more confident and loving conditions. ॐ_/♥\_¸¸.•*¨*•☆

A SPIRITUAL EXPLORER FUELED by LOVE AIMS for & ATTRACTS a POWERFUL GALACTIC HEALING of the HEART ❤

☆ •°*☾ ◯☽ *°•.☆ 5th-6th-7th December _/❤\_
The Full Moon is rising in Gemini, opposite Sagittarian Sun - with the sign of the Archer aiming directly at the Great Attractor, the centre of our home Galactic supercluster, called Laniakea ‘Immeasurable Heaven’. This rare celestial alignment (every 19 years) suggests one takes aim for the next couple of days and hold focus upon the great convergence of truth, love, and our innate, light-radiating wisdom. Because the Sagittarian ruler who encourages one to see the bigger picture with greater clarity, the great Cosmic Guru, Jupiter, is now stationed to go retrograde immediately after the Full Moon (on Monday the 8th); and cautious Saturn is about to change signs from Scorpio into Jupiter’s sign, Sagittarius (on Xmas Eve), when the Lord of Karma gives lessons in fidelity and freedom; it suggests that now is not the time to move rashly, but to focus upon what pleases, and to turn one’s wisdom eye towards the rejuvenating healing power of light, compassion and love. Even if prepared to relinquish attachment and desire and renounce all: goal, aim and object, only a super-realised super-heroic spiritual warrior with nothing to lose, but perhaps heart and soul, would now leap into the unknown without taking time to now relish the immense infinite joy of life’s great multi-dimensional interconnected adventure.

Warning: Be careful what you concentrate upon during this Full Moon: it might just show you how loving kindness actually works for the benefit of all

☉ ☽ ♃ ♌ Sun-ruled Leo New Moon conjunct Cosmic Guru, Jupiter

“The more you are motivated by Love, The more Fearless & Free your action will be.” ~ His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

☉ ☽ ♃ ♌ The new Sun-ruled Leo Moon is conjunct the cosmic Guru, Jupiter, at 23:40 bst, 26th/27th July. demonstrating how to shine the infinite radiant LoveLight. In Spiritual astrology, this almighty conjunction between solar system stars, Sun & Jupiter, also accents individual Spirit connection to the student-teacher relationship, i.e. who or what provides the bigger picture for the heart-mind to rest in loving truth? And what do we impart to others through our own creative achievement?

☼☽¸¸.•*¨*•☆ The Moon with the Leo Sun and Jupiter is, according to Alice A Bailey, akin to a crisis of the collective soul seeking liberation. With Jupiter inflating the Soul crisis through the illustrious Sun in fiery Leo’s burning grounds, world affairs must be dealt with a Divine and noble wisdom that teaches each and every being is a sacred shining star. In the ‘Kingdom of Souls’, Jupiter is our hallowed teacher, the Lama initiating the path of discipleship for the World Server; while the Sun illuminates our natural Spirit, strength and courage to remain happy, confident and optimistic.

Jupiter also provides drama’s overview; and now in playful loving Leo (for a whole year!) this New Moon is the start of a direct focus upon one’s self, with steadfast strength to self-consciousness, recognising individual accomplishment in the interconnection of self with nature and the divine, finally free from ego’s restraint; though one should now note that self-cherishing is not the same as loving oneself! The former fears and compares, while generous LOVE allows, forgives, and shines like the stars that we are.

❤ ☼ Radiate a Courageous Loving Heart ☼ ❤ ~> Jupiter in Leo

Majestic Jupiter in Leo ~> July 16th 2014 – August 11th 2015

Roll out the red carpet! Sound the fanfare! Ta-dah! For today magnificent Jupiter changes signs. Leaving Cancer, where for the past year the Cosmic Gurus’ influence has been upon stabilizing support, expansive Jupiter now moves into regal Leo to develop artfulness, determination and courage. Interestingly, there's also mutual reception between the Sun and Jupiter at this time of ingress: The Sun rules Leo, but is now in Cancer, the sign of Jupiter’s exaltation, and Jupiter is now in the sign ruled by the Sun, meaning the heavens are in accord when acclaiming the powerful star-like potency of the creative Spirit.

The Sun radiates LoveLight from the heart of our solar system; and Jupiter is the great beneficent. In the sign of the brave Lion, Jupiter in Leo enhances bravery and determination, as well as the ability to open the heart to creative expression, generous romance, and majestic, playful drama. Having Jupiter in this warm and fiery sign for a whole year can encourage us to cultivate personal happiness with a tenderness that comes from the heart, so that one can be unconditionally true oneself; the downside of which can be self-seeking ego indulgence.

The Lion in Tibetan symbolism represents ‘perkiness’, which has vibrancy and the capacity to generate youthful enthusiasm, by maintaining discipline and confidence. The Buddha is often referred to as being a ‘lion among men’ meaning his might, speed and courage are outstanding. Indeed, Buddha’s teachings include ‘the lion’s roar’, expounding heroic fearlessness in any situation by remaining in the non-egotistical self-existing centre that enables resolution and transformation when being clear and precise, kind and loving.

With ℒℴѵℯ_/❤\_ and thanks...
