“As you breathe in, cherish yourself.
As you breathe out, cherish all Beings.”
~ His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama __/❤\__

June 21st 2017 @4:24UT Sun 0 Cancer Moon 18 Taurus

☼ Our Sun is ‘The Great Illuminator’ and ‘the Spiritual Centre’ which freely radiates warmth, love and light from its’ generous heart. Life on Earth thrives when we have the right proportions of light and warmth: too much light and we are over stimulated; too much heat and we burn. For the spiritual warrior it’s important to recognise the phases, strength – and courage – of the Sun so that we can mindfully tune into the innate healing power that emanates from our central life-giving source - and take cover when too hot

☼ Sun represents our consciousness. In esoteric astrology it is ‘The Light of intelligence’. In the horoscope, the Sun in individual identity, central to one’s being, determining who we are growing into (a process which can take a lifetime), as well as the dominant issues we are managing and learning in this life.

☼ Yang in quality, Sun is also authority, ego, father and boss. At 0 degrees Cancer – Capricorn Sun dertemins a major turning point: right now it begins the longest days in the North, and shortest in the south, before it changes to swap around again. align in your scope to get an idea of what, how and where the world axis activates one’s own inner-authority.

☼ When Sun is at standstill, as it is over Solstice for the next three days it creates a cosmic pause; like 'the gap' in meditation that happens in between our out breath and the in. Solstice is the collective pause. For the practice meditator Solstice could even encourage samahdi. For most of us a Dark Moon Solstice is a time in which we can rest, and gather closely our thoughts, friends and ideas .

☽ With the Dark Moon ending this Saka Dawa lunation, Luna is exalted in Taurus (Buddha’s birth sign), conjunct Venus, also at home in Taurus. As the Queens of the Night meet, Moon & Venus together provide a feminine touch for perfect days – and nights - to reflect and meditate upon that which we value, before the New Moon Saturday 24th makes it a weekend of newness and setting the right intention for healing familial, working, and personal relationships.

HAPPY SOLSTICE!

With love and thanks to all... ☸️💖☸️ 🙏🙏🙏

☾ ◯☽ New Moon in Aries 2015

☽★☼ Brave heart Aries is a passionate and fiery sign; with courage and a cause to champion, Aries also has a delightfully playful impulsive streak that dares venture into the unknown with a willingness to be open and genuine (if slightly naive and innocent). All of which can be very exciting, as well as refreshing, as Aries tends to bring in and reveal the novel and new with speed, and often a bang.

☽★☼ Our brilliant Sun is now exalted in Aries, radiating the illuminating ‘Light of Life’. Today’s New Moon in Aries ( Saturday 18th April, at 19:55 bst) ignites this divine spark, encouraging inner-light to shine from within. The Sun also rules the right eye in men and the left eye in women; thus this Aries New Moon sharpens a Spiritual Warrior’s vision to turn the gaze in towards 'the self'. Look to 28 Aries in your horoscope and note any Aries spontaneous revelations that allow clarification, to suddenly see things in a new light, especially issues sullied by (personal) anger, resentment, or other negative emotions that make it difficult to move on. Now is the time to be the Spiritual Warrior, one who has courage to exercise patience - with oneself and others, to start removing obscuration to enlightenment, and be ready to reap actual rewards at the Full Moon May 4th. And though it may be premature to say, but with Mars (the ruler of Aries) now at the very same degree as the coming Full Moon, set your intention wisely: there is an unshakable quality to one's mission 'May the fourth be with you' ;) !

#SuperNewMoon #SOlarEclipse #SpringEquinox !!! _/*\_

20th March 2015~>
✩ KARMA MULITPLIED day x 10,000 ✩
☽★☼ At 30 Pisces, the very last ‘omega’ degree of the zodiac, a new Super Moon Solar Eclipse on Friday morning (when the moon is closest to the earth) is exact at 9:31 am GMT. The last degree of a sign, the powerful ‘anaretic degree’, signifies we have already experienced the qualities of a sign and are ready to move on and embrace the next sign. In the case of this Solar Eclipse, it is the Piscean’s profound sensitivity and mystical awareness that has the ability to overcome duality to merge and blend with cosmic Oneness, that precedes the freshness the Aries Ram brings at the Spring Equinox (in the year of the Green Yin Wood Ram!), only 13 hours after Sol’s eclipse at 22:45gmt. The Sun is the star of this eclipse show, our Spiritual heart illuminating, feeding and growing all things on Earth; and in Pisces, as a world server responsive to the environment, showing loving kindness, forgiveness and compassion to all beings, especially beings, seen and unseen, suffering in Samsara’s pounding waves.

☽★☼ This degree of the Sun shines upon the Light of the World; and this alignment of Moon and Earth, with the full coronal electro-magnetic extent of Spirit Sun reveals the ‘Light of Life’ and a heavenly invitation to consciously focus upon our own personal heart-mind in direct association with Sol’s shining Spirit. As this eclipse degree inspires our wildest imagination through dance and music, poetry, meditation, and dreaming new worlds into being, it is also apt to recognise a certain phase or cycle has now ended. (Not least the 7 infamous squares of Uranus & Pluto and the techno-transformation that has taken place these past few years.)

☽★☼ A total eclipse of the Sun, with Luna darkening the Sun in totality for 2minutes 46seconds at this very last degree of the zodiac hasn’t been seen for many a year, which also suggests that while we really are at the end of something, personally and globally. At the same time a magical celestial portal opens for us to go through and explore our inner-consciousness, spiraling from Omega to Alpha and embark on the totally new and exciting armed with a greater compassion and wisdom that beckons us to cross into zero Aries with courage and confidence. By the end of the day, at the-all important ‘world point’ (the beginning of the astrological year), everyone will feel ‘the newness’ - in one way or another, like a breath of fresh air, bringing light into the awakening world.

✩ May your meditations be illuminating and the eclipse points be a beautiful balance of heart-mind-body and soul, so that all beings are nourished by the spiritual Light of Life _/♥\_
