☽★☼ Karma Multiplied Day x 100,000
☽★☼ Destiny now calls us to co-create peace, love and unity in all
affairs. As this 3rd in a series of 4 Lunar ‘Tetrad’ Eclipses (the next
is in September), to let go of the self-cherishing ego is the way to
embrace beauty, fairness and justice _/\_
☽★☼ The outer planets influence on this eclipse, specifically the last
of the now infamous 7 Uranus Pluto squares, means each individual’s
ability to change and transform can make a dramatic impact upon the
collective. As they say: if you want to see change in the world, then
start by changing one’s self. The key to success is to now bring
individual talents to the whole for all to enjoy, caring for and
celebrating each other's gifts that we share.
☽★☼ With the
astral focus upon the exalted Aries Sun conjunct the South Node, the
Dragon’s Tail of the Lunar Eclipse (Ketu), there is a potential for a
sudden release of anger, impatience, or pent up frustration - by going
to the gym, for example, or entering into dialogue with whoever is
subject of irritation, or by simply removing oneself from an annoying
situation so the mind can relax, and allow the courage to come to the
fore. The Spiritual Warrrior has the strength to release negativity
without hurting anyone, including oneself. Also it’s worth bearing in
mind how Libran Moon is about to enter a part of the sky called the ‘Via
Combusta’; walking the 'fiery path’ encourages renewal by releasing all
that no longer serves. So now is the time to be objective and
unencumber thoughts, feelings, people and situations that prevent
feelings of harmony and peace. Indeed, this Libra Moon suggests we make
more of an effort to practice loving kindness, especially with close
loved ones and the people we socialise with in order to reveal our own
inner beauty as a reflection of the strength and splendour we see all
around.
☽★☼ In the Northern hemisphere it’s also time to look
after the liver, eat bitter foods, detox the physical body and drink
light herbal teas to maintain optimum balance, so that meditative
equipoise is not also possible, but stabilised, in these times of
dramatic change _/\_
Wishing everyone a wonderful eclipse
wherever you are, and even if you don’t see it, you will probably feel
it, go lightly, with LoveLight, Laura

At the astrological Samhain, 7th November, the
Spirit of the life-giving Sun is renewed at 15 degrees of Scorpio, as
consciousness rises like the Phoenix from the ‘Via Combusta’, the fiery
path, having burnt to ashes all that is no longer necessary, in order to move forward (to the next Solar marker, Winter Solstice 21st).
The Sun is also now conjunct karmic Saturn, accenting that practice
makes perfect, especially in regard to difficult and challenging tasks
that require focus and experience. The trick is to knuckle down, take
responsibility seriously, and not get despondent when faced with
limitations and obstacles; because missions undertaken now bring great
rewards when successful – it’s a hard job, but somebody has to do it.
On the plus side, friendly Venus just entered Capricorn, (Saturn’s
sign) where she will stay until early March. This lengthy sojourn is due
to her retrograde. And while this is considered a sobering position for
the Love Goddess, at least it provides the opportunity to love one’s work, no matter how tough it may be.
Like a hopeful Phoenix reborn from flames, shine on beloved friends __/\__ ☼✶•*¨*•.¸¸✶

Retrograde
Mercury, planet of the mind, and karmic Saturn in Scorpio are enhancing
the power of deep introspection; for Scorpio is secretive sign, with the
need for privacy when delving into interior of one’s heart-mind; it is often behind closed doors that the most powerful transformations take place.
With the dark moon also going into Scorpio today, there’s already a
growing sense of tomorrow’s oncoming Scorpio New Moon Solar Eclipse 3rd November
(12:48pmGMT), when we welcome the newly risen Phoenix that rises from
the Sun’s ‘Fiery Path’. And as we approach the cosmic union of Sun, Moon
and Earth in heavenly alignment, we could also sense the need to raise
consciousness so that Spirit can fly like the proverbial reborn Sun
bird. But in order to be ready to cross this threshold, from dark to
light, we may need to rest and retreat into our own sacred space, to dig
deep within and remove obscuration, releasing old and outworn, negative
aspects of our psyche and personality.
Now, therefore, is the
optimum time to assess, from this day forward, exactly what it is that
we wish to be karmically responsible for. In other words, no one else is
able to do our practice – we have to do the work ourselves in order to
polish the most precious Dharma jewel, so Spirit naturally radiates:
When the doors of perception open, infinite LoveLight shines._/♥\_
Some moments are more enchanted and potent than others. At Halloween, when the veil between visible upper and unseen lower worlds is thinnest, mythical skeletons dance across the skies, and witches wing by on Birch tree brooms, it tends towards a magical time that gets deep, edgy, and powerful. Halloween holds a mystical magic that can transform in a dream-like instant, purely by honoring the ancestors and all that has gone before - and by being ready for a dramatic renewal. And as tonight’s is a Dark Moon Halloween, it’s advisable to call upon our protectors, totems and guides, and all that can help the Spiritual Warrior maintain emotional balance, which is specifically important when crossing the karmic threshold of the fixed and focused New Moon Scorpio Solar Eclipse, November 3rd.
Bear in mind that while we are now at the peak of the on-going 3-year Uranus-Pluto square (more on that tomorrow), astrological Halloween is actually November 7th, when the Sun is at degree where we officially pass through the ‘Via Combusta’, a.k.a. ‘The Fiery Path’, when Spirit rises like a proverbial phoenix out of the ashes.
All the while we have a myriad of sacred geometry providing anchors for practical magic, and heavenly pointers to where the fates are flying:
The ‘Kite’ formation harnesses a ‘Grand Earth Trine’ stimulating recuperative and regenerative conservation of resources; with the Dragon’s Tail (South Node) implementing the healing energies we bring with us, which can also be used in the future.
A ‘Mystic Rectangle’, made up of only helpful aspects, suggests spiritual stability throughout this eclipse period, until November 8th.
The ‘Finger of God’, pointing to Uranus, planet of awakening altruism for the next couple of days, with the life-giving Sun and destiny-fulfilling North Node (Dragon’s Head), in the sign of renewal and shared assets, joining forces with Mars in Virgo, sign of healing and discernment. All this suggests many are currently creating intrepid communities, forming Sangha and affinities with kindred spirits, individuals who feel also the need to support others in this time of dramatic change to power structures and resources.

Happy Halloween everyone!
