❂ A Karmic Transformation ~> Love is the way ~> Live for LOVE Lunar Eclipse July 2019

Full Thunder Moon Lunar Eclipse 16^th July 21:38UT

LOVE is the Way for a KARMIC TRANSFORMATION

The horoscope of this Full Moon LUNAR ECLIPSE, at 24°04’Capricorn, suggests mighty strong karma at work – some good and some not so, some past, some future. As usual, it is the present which matters, as what we do in the present sets the tone of future karma. Only in the present do we see how personal, familial, and ancestral karma has worked in the past, leading us to where we are now. With such weighty celestial activity in the run-up to and during this potent Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, the astral advice is stay in the present moment as much as you can - to ride the dragon keep the heart fully open and mind focused upon loving, harmonious relations. 

Though be aware how, in typical human fashion, just as one plucks up courage to confidently take personal charge to discipline’s one’s self to create a healthier world, along comes an often underestimated collective karma originating from leftfield. 'Throwing karma’ coming out of nowhere could seemingly have nothing to do you with you personally. Yet bizarrely it does.  

A long thread of human history binds us all; and we would do well to be aware how collective karma connects an entire 35-year generation to a shared and powerful transformation, particularly that of sustainability and shared resources, business and responsibility, harmonious relationships, and fair rules to live by.

Therein lies the crux of this Full Capricorn Moon Lunar Eclipse: if something isn’t working within a relationship, corporate or custom, work or home, health or heart, now is the time to take a little time out to rest in the partial light of this Lunar Eclipse and look into deep into the shadows of our own individual subconscious and shine the light of personal awareness. Indeed, it is time (again) to nourish our connection to the universal consciousness, and to work (again) on our destructive emotions and release everything which no longer serves a spiritual love (remembering that loving yourself is considered healthy when not ego-based). That said, it pays to be extra cautious right now, especially if or when consolidating, or perfecting the angle of facet cuts on a metaphoric treasured jewel. Not to be anxious, but with a relaxed awareness embedded into the cautiousness. 

Those with planets around 22-26 ° in Cardinal Signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) may already have psychic antennae sensing karmic action – in thought, word or deed – is like a rock thrown into water, creating an ever-widening ripple effect; aware how the unresolved or unfinished can slowly but surely unravel and unfold to make itself known (especially now for the leading signs), even if it takes 35 years to do so (more on this long , Saturn conjunct Pluto cycle in a moment – along with a rendition of Karma Chameleon and a Boy George comeback; only kidding on last point ;) ).

To be astrologically direct, this is an Earth-Water Sun Moon Element combo: events and situations may be most (emotionally) demanding; perhaps one of the most subtly intense and powerful Full Moons of the Earth Sow year – as well as the most potentially rewarding. Even so, shady secrets will try to hide in the swamp and obstacles remain ever-present, especially when the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is conjunct head honcho Saturn, powerful Pluto, and karmic South Node. Note, however, that overcoming difficulties is a sign of success. In fact, those in positions of Plutonic power and Saturnian authority turn hurdling over hitches, ditches, and hindrances into an art form. They also use fear as a means of control. 

Facing up to fears and doubts takes a certain maturity in the rational world. For a magical human, however, all it really takes is watching your breath, breathing deeply with awareness will also enable you deal with irrational thoughts and fears, too. Recognizing when you are afraid can even be an impetus to create a more peaceful place. If we didn’t have fear in many situations, we’d be toast. Fear can motivate – as well as freeze. Some may even be rewarded for facing their fears during this Full Moon.

How we handle a potentially obstructive and restrictive Saturn, Pluto, and South Node in Capricorn matters, especially in this interconnected world. Just remember if you’re in a hot spot, there are always ways to resolve even the most heated issues: being grown-up and organised helps. As does breathing, slowly and steadily to clear the mind; answers and resolutions will appear – even if it means asking for help (in how to handle the situation) from your nearest and dearest – before calling in professionals, which you may or may not need. 

At this shared moment in time, in as much we are all together under the same transformational Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, Mercury is Retrograde! And the usual drill for a detailed triple-check turns into a triple deep inspection within our own sweet self, going back to why we do the things we do as well as discover foundations of support, and historical memories.

The greatest gift from Mercury retrograde can overcome adversity once and for all; Mercury in Leo works on transforming the mind from the inside out, from deep within our own synaptic plastic mind, rooting out laziness, vanity, anger, greed, resentment, bitterness and fear, and replacing destructive emotions with love, patience, joy, compassion and kindness. In other words, any of the same-old ploys we have used for-ever-and-a-day to manipulate, schmooze, and control anyone to do what we want are no longer appropriate. Leo's influence demands integrity intact and loyalty pure, particularly when consciously interacting; releasing (emotional or past-life) hang-ups and blocks as best we can – and thereby let go of self-sabotaging habits that do no one any favours, least of all ourselves.

To provide strength and support when going through any kind of metamorphosis it is good to be surrounded with people, things or ideas you love, love you, and nurture spirit and soul; the Sun in Cancer tends to care for all beings, as a Mother would her child. And for another week the Sun basks in Cancer, the Sign of the Great Mother Goddess, which rules and is ruled by the Moon. The Moon right next to taskmaster Saturn and forceful Pluto can make one feel besieged: at once bringing an all-or-nothing obsession to certain areas: double check 24 Capricorn mark in your scope to see which area of life ‘karmic wisdom-lessons’ may now appear (in an open astral portal until January (or longer, throughout 2020).  

While this quite long Lunar Eclipse, which is over 5 and a half hours, will pass in an evening or three, associated feelings could come around with a certain monthly regularity until November, when issues of love and security, authority and control, will begin to clear, if not sorted to some degree. 

Take note: 

☆ ☆ The two ‘power-house’ planets, Saturn and Pluto, conjunct exactly January 12^th, 2020, @22Capricorn to then complete a momentous cycle which began slowly, taking most of 1982-85 to get going. This is therefore a message to all, but thirty-somethings especially: try not to get bogged down by relationship materialism. Recognise also, how none of us are perfect: we are all in the process of becoming responsible and loving human beings, learning how to live by the heartmind and embody wisdom in action. 

☆ Be aware how the Moon is now on the fifth of ten occultation’s of Saturn, Pluto AND the South Node, Luna’s natural flow, i.e. our own intuition and personal emotional flow, could be dangerously restricted by (even self-imposed) rules and regulations. A South Node with Saturn produces a certain kind of elitist tendency that lacks empathy, resulting from ancestral privilege from this or previous lives; those holding onto to perceived hard-earned power but not wanting to evolve or make changes to benefit anyone else but themselves are also exhibiting major transformation and how this pans out will also depend upon the collective will to release, transform and heal.  

☆ Meanwhile, nature has its own course as time and tide wait for no man. And the Moon is watery ruler of said tides; at the point of culmination Luna is emerging from a triple looping epic Eclipse time tunnel, and a seemingly close initiation into the dark side with omnipotent Pluto, devilishly karmic Time Lord, Saturn; all the while all three – Moon, Saturn and Pluto – reckon with mega-strong past-life-action-relationship indicator, the Moon’s invisible crossing point on the elliptic with Earth and Sun, called ‘the South Node’, aka ‘Ketu’, or the ‘Dragon’s Tail’, making it all theoretically fantastic. if a little dramatic, to have the past so clearly laid out – and just a little daunting as the future bekons.

☆ Still, there is every reason to keep romance alive and the love-light shining in your heart because Love Goddess, Venus, is conjunct the means to a kind and caring helpful future, i.e. the karmic Moon’s North Node, aka Rahu, or Dragon’s Head, revealing LOVE is the most precious human gem.

Venus in Cancer further empowers the Cancerian Mother Goddess (within – remember even guys have a feminine side (i.e. right brain)) to bathe in love, sweet love, and all that feels secure within our most familial sphere (global family also), and to nurture our ability to love patiently and be patiently loved, calmly authentic, supported and supportive somewhere safe; somewhere called ‘home’. 

☆ With no less than SIX planets now retrograde, this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse marks the need for creature comforts at the beginning of a fairly long season of rethinking, renewing, reviewing, reworking, reinvesting, redeeming, re-visioning, and researching. Mercury, for instance, is retro until the New Leo Moon, August 1^st, going back from self-serving Leo into family-serving Cancer. Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Neptune and Pluto are also retrograde until the turn of the Fixed Fire Cross, or even Equinox, making it difficult to immediately forge ahead without having to re-do.

While there will certainly be breakthroughs along our own personal journey, Mercury’s recent conjunction with Mars, suddenly exposed a right royal drama and secrets that could sway finances and other shared interests to extremes. But it isn’t resolved until early September, when truly practical solutions are acknowledged and/or implemented with some serious feminine wisdom. 

☆ Also over this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse, there are Fixed Stars to add sparkle into the cosmic mix; as the Moon is with the three other astral markers, it is also with an important Fixed Star, ‘Rukbat’, adding a steadying influence to the Earthy Capricorn. Although, the Water element dominates, suggesting any transformation is through movement and flow.

Spirit Sun is in Moon-ruled Cancer, also conjunct a Fixed Star, ‘Pollux’; this could indicate how trying to bring the negative into fruition is taking its toll – and it is time for a rethink to avoid any (more) heartache.  

Consider how love and trust go hand in hand; and how things of value are also often borne from the pain of creativity; so events around this Moon could also be labelled ‘challenging’ – Luna is in her detriment in the ambitious sign Capricorn, after all. And even though this is just a partial eclipse, it may still be one to remember. As Earth blocks Sun’s light upon the Moon, a trinity aligns to create transformational shifts that can be both personal or collective, as well as spiritual or physical, geo-physical or cosmic. So go easy out there dear readers: remember everyone has a story. And (not that one should really compare) remember to give thanks as your story isn’t as mad, bad or as sad as others, or even as you think it is. ;) 

☆ For those lucky enough to view this eclipse include much of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Pacific, Indian Ocean, and the South-Eastern part of North America. Basically, everywhere except the Norther United States, which has already seen a fair share of eclipse earthquake action the past couple of weeks.  

☆ In India this Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is called Guru Purnima, i.e. the ‘Teacher’s Moon’, to honour the spiritual teacher. From a meditator’s point of view this is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse for ripening one’s practice. Actually, truth be told, this is THE Full Moon for everyone’s practice to ripen. Just try not to make a crisis out of any karma drama ;)  

Last words from ~ Dongzar Jamyang Khentse Rinpoche ~
“Fearlessness is generated when you can appreciate uncertainty, when you have faith in the impossibility of these interconnected components remaining static and permanent. You will find yourself, in a very true sense, preparing for the worst while allowing for the best....By knowing that something is lying in wait for you just around the bend, by accepting that countless potentialities exist from this moment forward, you acquire the skill of pervasive awareness and foresight like that of a gifted general, not paranoid but prepared.”

Tara Moon ~> Venus & Uranus March 19

With the Moon now in Sagittarius, the last quarter Tara – Medicine Moon indicates wisdom in action before the dynamic New Moon, only a week away March 6th. 

In Tibetan astro-science Venus is considered to be Tara’s ‘star’. One of the brightest celestial orbs, Venus is known in astrology as ‘Queen of the Heavens’; she is also the ruler of Taurus, the same sign into which the planet of change, freedom-loving Uranus is moving into on the New Moon. Airy Venus has featured in all Uranus’ recent moves; as such it’s crucial to watch Venus whens she interacts with Uranus over the coming years, as issues of freedom and changes to everyday values come to our attention. 

Like Tara, the ‘Great Mother Liberator’, Venus is the planet of love, creating balance and harmony, fairness and fertility, peace and love. Venus in Capricorn is currently holding steadily to tradition, charming those with sway and control with beauty and brains, experience and dedication. While Venus reaches the degree of the sign of Mars’s exaltation (28 Capricorn), Mars is in Venus’s home sign, Taurus. Thus the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, can at least get along politely and connect diplomatically over a glass of something smooth, even if there are other kinds of relationship tension. 

At the New Moon, however, a foremost feminine principal comes into sharper context, as Goddess Venus enters into Aquarius for a three-week period of 'mutual reception’ with socially minded Uranus highlighting our kindred spirits, human rights and natures’ freedom: beginning March 1st Venus moves into Aquarius, the sign rules by Uranus, all-the-while Uranus is in Taurus, the sign which rules Venus. This Uranus-Venus 'freedom-closeness dilemma' is a major theme even to be continued whenl Uranus leaves Taurus 2027, and enters Gemini, conjuncts Venus at 0degrees of the sign of the twins: a change in understanding duality, perhaps ;) . 

Don't get confused now. Know your rights, and remember that love is all. Because this is basically a time for diplomacy when implementing wisdom-in-action. Get ready now: March will be quite a serious and busy time for the Sacred Goddess! 

Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha! 🙏🤩🕉💚💜

and Mercury will be retrograde!

Day of Miracles ~ Great Light Festival ~ Wheel Turning day 2019

The Heroic Lion’s Roar ~>Awakening the Spiritual Warrior

“A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown”. Tom Hanks

The first month of the voracious and fertile Earth Sow year shows initial promise bestowing magical light blessings that inspire and culminate with a fantastic Full Virgo Super Moon, Tuesday 19^th (or 20^th) February at 16:53 GMT.  This Full SuperMoon reflects the light of the Sun in watery Pisces, and will look larger than usual, impacting upon (emotional) tides for up to a week after Luna’s climax.

Should anyone offer you a metaphoric surfboard to ride overwhelming or choppy emotional waves, it is a realistic Virgoan influence that makes sure you can first swim before jetting through a rip tide with slip-sliding, groovy moves.

Whatever you are doing over the coming Full SuperMoon, get ready to be super versatile, especially when venturing into unchartered territory. At 0° Virgo, the Full Super Moon has a changeable and versatile quality which highlights the feminine strength of devoted LOVE WISDOM in action, a bit like an exotic temple filled with Italian Mama’s making sure you have eaten, slept, and loved enough.

This Supermoon also spotlights collective undercurrents as well as personal welfare and happiness – especially at work. As the sign of the Fish is an all-consuming, all embracing collective sign, it’s possible many will also intuit the imperative (Virgoan) need to heal underlying toxic turmoil. Pisces can be easily lost in artistic creativity (or by hypnotised manipulation) and tends to spill-out, leaving the environmentally aware and pragmatic Virgo to mop-up the mess. In any event, if it all gets too much then this Full SuperMoon will provide the opportunity to fill your life with meaningful activity, be of service and dedicate karmic merit to the benefit of others.

As well as being deeply mystical, psychic Pisces is sensitive and compassionate, poetic and oceanic in feeling, the Fish shows how we struggle on fuelled by devotion (or confusion looking for confirmation and acceptance), while the virtuous Virgo is compact, organised and, dare I say, almost perfect in her nature.  

·✰·  To help the Goddess on her quest for perfection, this Full SuperMoon also conjuncts one of four ancient ‘guardians’, Royal Fixed Stars, Regulus. A heroic ‘Lion Heart’ star of the first magnitude, Regulus moved by precession into the sign of the Sacred Goddess, Virgo, in 2012.

Planets conjunct Regulus indicate valiant courage and supreme success. Regulus is the ‘Watcher of the North’, a direction associated with accomplishment and recognition. The Moon with Regulus tends to make women ambitious, highly-spirited and independent. There is, however, a caution to beware false friends and enemies. Wherever 0° Virgo lies in your own individual horoscope, it is where honour, wealth and brilliant feminine wisdom is often revealed and where there is also the potential for unbridled success – but only as long as the intention is pure; should the motivation be revenge or anger, any success is short-lived.

·✰· Another interesting observation is how this SuperMoon is in the position of being another ‘Handle’ or ‘Singleton’. In fact, for the first four Full Moons of 2019, the Moon is a stand-alone ‘singleton’ at these powerful solar-lunar moments, when consciousness aligns with the subconscious. With the Moon representing our sub-conscious, as a singleton it means sensitive but smart Luna intuitively grips the rest of the ‘bucket-shaped’ horoscope. As such, memories are based upon our feelings about certain events, people and/or things, which are held in sharper emotional focus, in this case in order to be rejuvenated, restored and revitalised.

In mundane astrology, the Moon represents ‘the people’, which is significant these days politically. The mood of the masses can now reveal a helpful and sensible feminine wisdom, also giving the general public enormous influence. 

·✰·  Also coinciding with the Full Super are two major long-term celestial influences now dramatically changing by leaving signs they will not visit again for 50 years – and more. How these changes impact upon our lives will rely upon several factors, including our ability to adapt and embrace alternatives and far-out tech, as well as poetry, music, dreams, sky-dancing and nature as personal medicine.

Time now to implement measures that quickly adjust the perception we have of ourselves in relationship, especially as an individual within our peer-connected friendship circle, to that of the Spiritual Healing Warrior.   

Chiron in Aries

Check where Aries is in your chart: that’s where a Spiritual Healing Warrior is currently making a major shift, as asteroid Chiron flows from watery Pisces into fiery Aries. Chiron is a mythical centaur, a wild Shamanic out-cast; half-man, half-horse, Chiron’s wisdom is found in the healing arts. This astral alchemist will now stay in Aries, as the Spiritual Healing Warrior, to direct self-healing for seven years, leaving Summer Solstice 2026.

Now at 0° Aries, Chiron with Fixed Star ‘Sheat’ hones and trengthens the Shamanic Healer’s intellect, to think logically and clearly about what needs to be healed in our physical world, within the body, and psychologically, by how we present our egoic selves to the world, reconciling personal identity with personal values.

Noting now the Sun is at 0° Pisces, and how the collective psyche is deeply affected as the Wounded Healer leaves the sign of the fish. Although the negative side of Pisces is viewed as the zodiac’s garbage can, conjuring a vivid a picture of 7 billion of us disposing junk and whatnot into the sea, it’s bizarrely heartening that most of the planet can now see the reality of insidious chemicals and plastic polluting our precious water. Because now is the time for action, and to do something about it!

Bear in mind how the human body constitutes 65%+ water, and as the oceans become polluted so do we. While no one in their right mind would intend to create these poisonous environments, it appears we have accidentally and quite royally harmed ourselves - and every other being in the natural world. Thus, it has been the wizardry of the celestial Shaman, who has brought our attention to our dependency upon the toxic and our carelessness with water, land and air. Now, however, with Chiron’s move into Aries we can begin to rectify and heal our self and our personal identity as human: indeed, when we heal ourselves, we also contribute to healing the Earth.

There is a danger, however, of overwhelm when Piscean energy pervades; when it’s all too easy to seek oblivion and solace in drugs and alcohol etc. Beware of opting for the path of the sleepwalker it leads away from your authentic truth. Know that when we are willing to accept there are certain things we have no control over and just go with our personal flow, we can more easily induce an enlightened and peaceful state. 

Uranus in Taurus

On the New Pisces Moon, March 6^th (The same day Mercury goes retrograde!) inventive and revolutionary Uranus leaves Aries for 84 years, to move into the solid and determined Taurus for 7-ish years (until April 2016), from where this crazy humanitarian oddball will wield a dramatic and often extreme influence upon the simple Taurean value system: food, love, Earth, nature, finances are all bound to areas of sudden and dramatic change. And as Uranus is connected to technology, Taurean nature and weird Uranian machinery could even begin to merge so that ‘virtual reality’ itself develops a seriously mechanistic twist. Singularity, when robots and humans merge, may not be far away, not just strawberry-picking robots. Uranus is in detriment in Taurus, as the planet of invention and electricity buzzes erratically, which will certainly present new-fangled challenges for the more ordered and traditional Bull to consider.

Interestingly, dynamic Mars is in Taurus over this Full SuperMoon, acting as a slow and thoughtful reconnaissance for both visionary Uranus, with whom he travels, and his boss, the Sun, to which there is an easy opening sextile aspect that also boosts warrior Mars. Mars in Taurus tends to be seriously unflappable, even when immersed in the ‘wacky cult of busy’ Taurus finds the same steady joy in breathing fresh-air as in holding hands with his or her honey, or counting out money. Nonetheless, financial markets in commodities could start to see erratic swings, either way, up or down.

·✰· Two more planetary conjunctions also have an influence upon events over this Full Moon.

1) Mercury the messenger and dreamy Neptune are in mystical union in Pisces, and with Fixed Star, ‘Aschenar’. I have been watching this Fixed Star for a while now, as Neptune has a long orbit it can stay in similar degrees for almost a year, and conclude it brings up from the depths fast-moving events that can no longer sustain an illusion. And while aware all life IS an illusion (from Buddhist & Quantum point-of-view), we could still witness a threat of sudden endings to long-held dreams. If that is the case, over the coming weeks there could be an almighty scramble while Mercury goes retrograde from the 6^th March until the 29^th March. Including shadow period, i.e. for the next five week Mercury will conjunct Neptune three times, accenting the need for compassion at every turn, including for oneself. Mercury-Neptune helps to develop faith and breathe new life also into collective dreams. Rearrange thoughts and schedules if you have to – and learn to let go of this, that, and the other, which no longer serve higher truths.

2) The last astral activity of note over this SuperMoon involves a stellium between Venus, Saturn and Pluto, as a power trio in Capricorn (making an easy sextile to the above Mercury/Neptune conjunction that offers an escape route should Venus feel hemmed-in). Venus is the ruler of Taurus, the sign into which Uranus is moving, as such it’s key to watch Venus with Uranus over the coming years, as issues of (women’s) freedom and changes to our everyday values come to our attention. Venus is the planet which creates balance and harmony; currently flanked by both authoritative Saturn and Pluto, Venus likes to feel steady and holds with tradition, charming those with sway and control with beauty and brains, experience and dedication. There is also a mutual reception to take into account: Venus is in the sign of Mars’s exaltation – Capricorn; and Mars is in Venus’s home sign, Taurus; the cosmic lovers Venus and Mars can at least get along politely and connect diplomatically over a glass of something smooth, even if there are other kinds of high tension.  

Time now to generate the positive altruistic intention!
Bless YOU dear ones on this ‘Day of Miracles’!
With Love and Full Supermoon light,
