Healing Equinox ~> 2012 Autumn Dragon

As our world turns, the Solar year experiences two equinoxes, marked by equal-day and equal-night, at Spring and Autumn. Each has a distinct signature: Autumn inclines towards the cocooned dark restful night, while Spring dynamically moves headlong into the light.

Tomorrow, 22nd September, at 15:50 BST , 7:50 AM PST, we reach Autumn Equinox, the point of Earth’s yearly solar cycle when light and dark exchange dominant directions, and dark nights extend into the northern he

misphere; while the light of life gets ready to spring into action in the south.

This point of balance and change heralds the ingress of the Sun into a leading cardinal sign Libra - the sign where karmic Saturn is currently exalted at anaretic 29degree, making it oh-so imperative to stay centred in heart-mind.

Concerned with peace, love and unity, Libra’s planet is Venus (now in fiery Leo) and the scales’ element is intellectual ‘Air’, which is yang in energy; this combination is generally quite fast-moving and brisk.

The weekend also see’s a 1st quarter Medicine Buddha Tara Moon, giving this Autumn equinox a lovely, quick-healing boost; before we know it there will be a massive Full Harvest Moon in only a week’s time :)

2012’s fiery Autumn Dragon is stirring ~> Enjoy the shift :) _(♥)_

Perfect Virgo New Moon ~ September 2012


According to Buddhist philosophy, we come into this world with innate goodness, called ‘Buddha Nature’. Though inherent purity can become corrupt through circumstance, causes and conditions - karma, choices and influences, beyond innumerable layers of dense conditioning, which there is in most everyone, a pristine consciousness can be reawakened, always with awareness and sometimes with effort.

The perfection we strive to attain is therefore already within – it is just a (small!) matter of realisation. This perfect wisdom can be astrologically represented by the constellation Virgo, the flawlessly accomplished and learned Goddess, who gives herself unconditionally to humanity, in a life of practical service.


Over this weekend, both Spirit Sun and sensitive Moon conjoin in smart, practical Virgo, to renew and energise the healing power of (and for) the Divine Feminine within everyone. We all have a feminine side, from where wisdom and intuition stem (the right side of the brain). Virgo is also mindful of body and soul. Now is the time to connect to our sensible self and the Healing Goddess, to clean up our act, our altars, and our intentions; for the New Moon Saturday/Sunday 15th/16th at 3:11 British Summer Time (7:11pmPDT) at 23 Virgo, urges one to be prepared and practice humility with calm patience and insight; during the coming lunation we also reach a point of balance at Equinox (September 22nd); and there are challenging aspects to navigate before the next new moon October 15th, which command fairness, freedom, and fortitude.

Divine Blue Pisces Moon ~ August 30th 2012

A rare Blue moon this Friday is in Pisces, the sign of the super sensitiive fishes, at 13:01 British Summer Time, (the next isn't until July 2015), when an 8 degrees Pisces Moon unites with spiritual Neptune, Shamanic Chiron & body-conscious asteroid, Hygeia, for added healing bliss, magic and wonder.

All the while, the Spirit of the Sun shines in Earthy Virgo; and the 'lights' - Sun & Moon, now
combine the feminine elements Earth & Water, giving this enchanted Full Moon an emphasis upon yielding yin, gentle and caring like the spiritual wise-woman.

The rational side of the Divine Virgo Goddess is naturally mirrored by the intuitive hemisphere, i.e. right brain active – which has the potential to impart the healing touch, aware of heaven’s universal oneness and, with a realistic approach, surf waves of immense (emotional and psychic) undercurrents with a practical kind of wisdom and compassion. Everyday kindness combined with spiritual service radiates mystical healing to the depths of one’s soul and beyond ~> to the very edges of infinite space _(♥)_ This is the Bodhisattva ideal.

Action & Reaction ~> Two Grand Crosses + Cardinal + Mutable

Rather unusually, there are TWO GRAND CROSSes in the sky at the same time this week! The 'Cardinal Grand Cross of the Central Spiritual Sun' is the power-house that galvanizes into action tomorrow, Monday 20th August, when the sensitive Moon moves into harmonious Libra (to oppose Uranus and Square Venus and Pluto); to accent the awareness of renewal and transformation.

This kind of formation ha
s the celestial hallmarks which also herald pronounced solar activity – including an active sextile from Spirit Sun to fiery Mars, and that can certainly whip UP the dynamism.

A Cardinal Cross is energetic and forceful, urging one to shift and quickly move (hopefully into a positive direction) with all kinds of important issues: self in relationship, to family, partnerships, groups AND profession. Staying centred could be a challenge especially as the Sun is currently involved in a 'Mutable Grand Cross', which gains strength as it approaches its' opposition to dreamy Neptune and squares the destiny-fulfilling nodes (24thAugust); Events this week will eventually point a way to practical and spiritual service, through being able to empathise and generate compassion. Whatever happens (I personally am going to) count blessings, as the Tibetan word for 'blessing' (jinlab) means 'a wave of grace' that also suggests having the ability to change _(♥)_

Happiness grows ~> New Leo Moon August 2012


• • •( ( (☾ ◯☽) ) )• • • This new Leo Moon (16:54 British Summer Time) accents individual strength and courage, creativity and joy. For each and every one of us, in the midst of our collective awakening to Buddha nature and the evolution of consciousness, to resolve to come from the heart and ‘grow’ the LOVE will advance us as a species, as well as enlightening own relationships.

Astro note: The Lion of Self-assertion is at the apex of a tense Thor’s Hammer aspect, with the powerful arbiters of change, Uranus and Pluto, pointing directly where to focus: Spirit Sun, funneling the light of intelligence towards liberation and renewal _(♥)_

Last Quarter Taurus Moon ~> Golden Sun in Leo ~> August 9th 2012

With today's last quarter moon, a Tara or Medicine Buddha practice (or indeed any kind of meditation practice) to overcome obstacles and banish negativity, the insight gleaned can have far reaching results. This is because both lights, Sun and Moon, are at home and exalted, respectively. Spirit Sun in his Leo domain encourages a positive focus upon self, while the sensitive Moon in Taurus nurtures, in a very real and caring manner.

With helpful feedback from personal meditative awareness, one can release any sense of worthlessness, to be ready for a confident and generous heart to shine with a new Leo moon on the 17th August.

~ ♥ ~
Homage to you, the golden lady
Whose hand is adorned with a blue lotus,
You are the Lady of the domain of the activities of generosity,
Diligence, simplicity, tranquility, patience and meditation.

Mars conjunct Saturn ~> 15th August 2012 ~> The Unshakable

__/♥ \__ Quick-to-rise Mars and karmic Saturn are currently on a cosmic journey together, to form an exact conjunction on 15th August. Best keep our cool, and bare in mind how anger wipes out karmic merit in one fell swoop.

"Anger cannot be overcome by anger. If a person shows anger to you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. In contrast, if you control your anger and show its opposite--love, compassion, tolerance, and patience--then not only will you remain in peace, but the anger of others also will gradually diminish. No one can argue with the fact that in the presence of anger, peace is impossible. Only through kindness and love can peace of mind be achieved.

...human beings can judge and reason; we understand consequences and think in the long term. It is also true that human beings can develop infinite love.... However, when humans become angry; all of this potential is lost. No enemy armed with mere weapons can undo these qualities, but anger can. It is the destroyer.

If you look deeply into such things, the blueprint for our actions can be found within the mind. Self-defeating attitudes arise not of their own accord but out of ignorance. Success, too, is found within ourselves. Out of self-discipline, self-awareness, and clear realization of the defects of anger the positive effects of kindness will come peace."

Lammas Full Moon in Aquarius ~ August 2012


A fantastic Lammas full Moon is on the rise to be exact Wednesday night/Thursday morning, 4:27 British Summer Time, at 10 Degrees of Leo and Aquarius, when the light of a confident and radiant Leo Sun is brilliantly reflected by the group-orientated Aquarius Moon.

This dynamic, fun, and positively glorious celestial connection awakens a generous heart and altruistic intention in a lightening fla
sh. Those with Leo and Aquarius planets prominent in the horoscope may be more aware than most how each and every one of us plays a unique and integral part in the continually evolving whole. But all of us could find a comfortable and favourable place within one’s circle of friends that enables connections to kindred spirits to thrive as well as nurture.

This sensitive but potentially objective Full Moon creates emotional bonds that seek to unify through a helpful ‘Grand Air Trine’ (that has an added rare ‘KITE’ formation) with expansive Jupiter in communicative Gemini, and active Mars in harmonious Libra. A Grand Air Trine tends to bring about a pleasant exchange of ideas and friendly relations.

“Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.” ~ His Holiness, 14th Dalai Lama

Grand Fire Trine ~> Guru Rinpoche day July 2012

Celebrating an extra special Guru Rinpoche day, Saturday 28th July, and rejoicing the birth of Tibet’s lotus-born ‘Second Buddha’, Padmasambhava, is symbolic of venerating all our spiritual teachers.

The golden Leo Sun, self-confident, generous and regal, makes a helpful trine aspect to the responsive Moon in far-sighted Sagittarius (sign of a wise teacher); these two also form a union with the
destiny-fulfilling North-Node, creating a very exciting ‘Grand Fire Trine’ with altruistic Uranus (and strategic Pallas Athena) in assertive Aries, so all three fire signs positively constellate to rouse creativity.

Grand Fire Trines tend to bestow high-level energy, with an excess of dynamic and exhilarating activity. Allow for unpredictable spontaneity and enjoy a cosmic and lively weekend!

Giving thanks for all my teachers _/♥\_

New Moon in Cancer ~ July 2012

In the Buddhist tradition, due to countless rebirths, we view all beings as having been our protective gentle mother, someone who has unconditionally taken care of us as best she could. Even if you don’t take on board the concept of reincarnation, this kind of thinking is helpful when dealing with difficult or frustrating situations or relationships (even if with one’s own mother in this lifetime). When we recall our Mother’s sympathy and kind-heartedness as we were growing-up, it becomes easier to generate the wish to repay such benevolence, by developing compassion, patience and love towards others.

I mention this now before a new moon at 26 Cancer (5:23am British summer time, 19th July) which highlights past memories, as well as emotional sensitivity and family connections, be it immediate or global family, as Cancer is ruled by the moon, doubling the intensity of any sentiment.

This new moon, hot on the heels of yesterday’s powerful ‘Cardinal Cross of the Central Spiritual Sun’, provides intuitive strength and determination to square-up to and act upon what may appear to be hard and difficult issues (especially during a Mercury retrograde); while the Cancerian influence also reminds us to watch hasty moves and show care to self and others, just as a Mother would her child.

Guru Purnima ~ Full Capricorn Moon July 2012

Tonight’s full Capricorn Moon (July 3rd) suggests we are all, somehow, in the midst of change. For some the changes are sudden and dramatic, for others it is incredibly subtle, but powerful nonetheless.

Whatever events currently occupy body, speech or mind, during this full Moon (over the next few days), instinct deepens and intuition heightened, stimulating solar plexus and crown chakra so individual self can align with a DIVINE purpose_(♥)_

This is Guru Purnima, the Full Moon in which we honour the Divine Guru (within) _(♥)_

Love Goddess Venus completes her epic cosmic dance _/\_♥

Many relationships will now feel renewed, deepened or released, so that compassion and kindness can blossom and bloom. This is the sum effect of the recently dramatic retrograde of the Venus transit to our heart star, the Sun, as Venus is now stationed to go forward and complete her cosmic dance at 7 Gemini on Wednesday. Look to this point in your ‘scope to see where in the sphere of life communicating from the heart-mind has taken unprecedented importance, and where learning to unconditionally love oneself is based on informed truth, a radiant kind-of consciousness, not ego. This amazing once-in-a-lifetime retrograde, as the Love Goddess aligned with Spirit Sun, together they showed how to connect in love, with beauty, to one’s self, to others, and the community at large. Now all we have to do is to add Jupiter’s ability to expand our understanding of love (July 14th- 24th) and all that we treasure, and encourage the generous heart-mind to grow and be positive in everyday relations.

Developing the celestial theme of unconditional love to also emphasise the need for balance, peace and harmony, in all circumstance, is the heaven's taskmaster Saturn (who has also just turned direct, exhalted in Libra), joined by the sensitive Libra Moon, just as Venus turns direct! Venus is therefore extremely influential, as she is the planet to rule the sign Libra. Generally speaking, when the Moon conjuncts Saturn, the reality check can seem like a day or two of harsh karmic lessons. But the more effort we consciously make to remain centred and listen to the heart, the less likely we are to be knocked off balance, but instead retain self-esteem and self-worth.

The kindest we can be, instead of passing Saturnian judgement or creating more obstacles, is to realise that time is often needed to get things (relationship/job/finances) just right and that, as long as our desires do not harm anyone, living in pleasure and love, we are all a ‘work in progress’.

Heart Star Solstice June 2012

Time now to tune into the unconditional warmth and clear light of heaven's inner radiance, feed the Spirit, and and shine like the Sun _(♥)_.•✩¨¯☼:) Our Heart Star, the Sun, is at standstill, and the cosmic wheel of light is poised to turn. Whichever part of the world you are, in the north where summer Sun is high, or south where winter Sun is low, Solstice marks a change of direction, and is when clans traditionally gather to affirm heartfelt connections.

This Solstice Sun makes a magical trine aspect to both manifesting Saturn and spiriutal Neptune, helping one to realise dreams, as well as stabilise meditation practice.


Happy Solstice! __/♥\__ .•✩¨¯`•☆٠.•..•¨*☽☀★

A new moon commenced just before Solstice and upon reflection, it ended what was a most memorable month with eclipses and the Venus transit, which events in our life surely mirror.

♥ Venus governs Libra, where Saturn is exalted. Saturn has been retrograde throughout the period, for the past four months, working on the heart and learning to love from the wisdom gained from life’s harder lessons. Saturn is soon to be going forward on Tuesday 26th, after Solstice, a New Moon and Venus also slowing down to station and  go forward on the 28th June. Hooray :) ♥

Centred at the heart and in relationship, a Libran Saturn at station to go forward is a very powerful ‘station’, in as much as it has the potential to hone-in upon karmic core-issues and go forward in peace, love and unity. Check 22 degrees Libra in your chart and see where you are currently showing considerable discipline by learning to love .  And check 7 degrees Gemini as to where self-love and self-appreciation has been processed.

~*~_(♥)_

Before the 26th, however, we encounter the first of SEVEN Uranus Pluto squares on June 24th. Having its roots in the 60's, this association between Uranus and Pluto is now at the opening square of potentially progressive, individually and collectively, ground-breaking innovation. Think back to the idealistic flower-power of the 60's, during the time of free-spirits, women's liberation, and the birth of the computer. Back then we also realised how Earth (her flora and fauna and humanity) needs healing. This is not an easy transit, but one of a series of sudden transformations that require co-operation and helpful forward-thinking from all sides, from those in authority as well as you and me, especially if we are to transform the currently destructive unequal power structures. There is also another cycle to consider: the Saturn Pluto conjunction in Libra which began in the early 80's; at its most exalted expression fairness in control is the only way to maintain balance, peace, and unity.

Saka Dawa Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini ~> June 2012

Happy SakaDawa Duchen! May all beings be Happy! :))

Full Moon full moon lunar eclipse is a big day for Tibetan Buddhists, marking SAGA DAWA, the day we celebrate the birth, enlightenment and parinirvana of Sakyamuni Gothama Buddha ♥_/|\_ ૐ

This eclipse sees the Moon at 14 Sagittarius aligning with the ‘Great Attractor’, opening a portal for the mind-stream in truth to attract, imbibe and embody the sacred heart of the cosmos. For the meditator this is an optimum opportunity for impartial observation of all sensation (internal-external, yin-yang, sun-moon) harmonising earthly heart-mind with an illuminating awakened spirit.

Be extra attentive to the subtle body, with chakras and channels super sensitive during this opening of space time: Because of the dramatic changes taking place (within & without), eclipses can be an integral (and sometimes the backdoor) passage for spiritual evolution. On a relative level we often witness watersheds and transformational situations during eclipse season, especially if the degree of the eclipse constellates our own horoscope. Lunar eclipses tend to show results quicker than solar counterparts.

This is a Karma multiplied day (x 10 million during eclipse) ♥ = Breathe, be the LIGHT ~> be kind to self & others ~> In presence, living the LOVE ♥_/|\_ ૐ x

Lunar eclipse is at total conjunction at 11:11 UT (! :)), visible in the Far East & China.

Diamond Goddess & Great Attractor ~ Gemini Lunar Eclipse Venus Transit

Sharing a nice cup of English tea and dear JoJo’s cake, as dear Queenie, Elizabeth Windsor, born under the Goddess Venus ruled sign Taurus, celebrates her Diamond Jubilee during this weekend’s Lunar Eclipse (the Full Sagadawa Moon, June 4th 12:12 British Summer Time). The Moon, in mundane astrology, represents the public mood; and during this eclipse la Luna just happens to conjunct 14degrees Sagittarius, where lies our Galaxy’s ‘Great Attractor’. Yes, the heavens are in accord, we’re attracted to the Goddess - & We love our Queen! Festivities extend into the celestial LOVE transmission during the rare Sun-Venus transit, awakening Heart-Mind over the long bank holiday on Monday/Tuesday morning :)) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Nice to bear in mind how there are two grand scale offerings to our earthly Venusian Goddess: Fire & Water. A flotilla of boats upon the River Thames (aka Isis) culminates tomorrow afternoon at Green0wich Meridian line; and Apollo’s fiery laylines of Great Britain will blaze on Monday June 4th, with Jubilee beacons and bonfires at 10pm on hilltops across the land! To top it all and add a serious sense of timing (as if being at 0degrees meridian isn’t enough), Big Ben is going to be renamed Elizabeth Tower! Time for the Goddess to ring her Jubilee Bells ;) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Sixty years is also, of course, a very important astrological landmark of her reign’s second Saturn return, and twelve times the five elements makes this an important astrological landmark for the Queen to demonstrate her regal wisdom. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

1st Quarter Moon in Virgo 2012 ~> Tara Moon

First quarter Moon May 28th = Medicine Buddha ~ Tara Moon ~> HEALING crisis in ACTION _(♥)_

Virgo Moon seeks perfection daily ♥ Conjunct dynamic Mars, Goddess Luna is the ideal mother and caretaker, actively protecting with practical logic and hands-on action; but in T-square to Gemini Mercury and opposition to Neptune, intuition rules and our emotional drive is towards spiritual realms, beyond limits of boundary-centred existence, in chaotically ordered fractal bliss.

♥ With only a week to go until SakaDawa, Full Sagittarius Moon on June 4th, the Tibetan festival of Buddha's birth, death and paranirvana _(♥)_ the awakening heart Venus transit to the Sun is only a day after, June 5/6 ♥

~> Spare a thought/prayer for all beings, nations, families and friends to enjoy heartfelt love & cordial relations, as well as for Earth herself with treasured flora and fauna; during this 1st Quarter Moon, Spirit Sun & communicating Mercury pick-up the very same Gemini degree at which Venus Goddess of LOVE goes forward at the end of June, applying Plato's dictum that 'Love is the pursuit of the Whole' _/♥\_ ૐ

Gemini Solar Eclipse ~> Breathing into Being

Sensitivity and quick reaction accompany the cosmic interplay between Sun, Moon & Earth, intensifies this weekend with a Gemini Solar Eclipse 20th/21st May (00:47bst on the 21st). Eclipses mark dramatic shifts, both within one's personal life, and without, as in the world around. And in Gemini, any change tends to be fast.

Intellectual Gemini is a dualistic sign that governs communication, thought, and how the mind perceives. As an Air sign, versatile Gemini has the ability to go with the flow, ride the wind, and breathe new-life into old ideas. Breath is also the heart-mind’s all-important vehicle to Spirit. During an eclipse meditation (which may be emotionally heightened as Sun and Moon square-up to the current Neptune/Chiron conjunction) our connection to Spirit is direct and focused; with the heaven’s advising to guard the Bodhi mind’s treasure and to be aware of breath as it fills the body with pure prana (universal energy), one is enabled to swiftly recognise separate realities and pacify any chaotic thoughts, to calm, protect, and centre the heart-mind dwelling in the magical mystery of true presence, even in the midst of a continual change _(♥)_

This solar eclipse begins a lunation which culminates in a Gemini-Sagittarius lunar eclipse at Saka Dawa, on June 4th, when Tibetans celebrate the birth, death and paranirvana of Sakyamuni Buddha. Swiftly following the full moon, Venus will transit of the Sun _(♥)_

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” Buddha

Vesek 2012 Buddha Purnima Beltane Full Moon

Get ready to touch base with magnificent and magnified shining Buddha nature, as the year’s biggest supermoon is on the rise! And in the radiant light of this brilliant Full Scorpio Moon, Buddhists across Asia also celebrate ‘Vesak’, or ‘Buddha Purnima’ as it is called in India, commemorating the birth, death and paranirvana of Shakyamuni Buddha.

When Lord Buddha was born 2500+ years ago, as the son of a King, an astrologer predicted Prince Gothama Siddhartha would achieve great powers: if Siddhartha followed a spiritual path, he would become an enlightened saint or, if he followed his regal father into the world of materialistic desire, he would be a renowned ruler. Either way, Buddha Shakyamuni was destined for greatness – such is the formidable command of the fixed and determined Taurus-Scorpio Sun-Moon alignment. Thankfully, after years of meditation and realising the true nature of reality, Buddha chose to leave the palace and walk the dharma path, to remind how our own enlightenment sparkles. No matter how much we obscure the innate spiritual treasure we are all born with, this particular sun-moon phase raises our vibration for the unconditional love-light to shine (which some in the west might call this soul-awareness Christ consciousness) that also helps one to appreciate the value of having the karma to be blessed with a precious human rebirth.

Full Moon is exact at 3:35 London on Sunday 6thMay; 9:05 Delhi; May 5th 23:35 New York, 8:35 LA ~> May your meditation, drum, dance & song during this powerful interaction between the Beltane Sun, Earth, and the Perigee Moon, lead to full realisation and heartfelt love _(♥)_

Planets in transit: technical astrospeak...
Practical Taurus Sun exemplifies a grounded spirit; opposite an alchemical Scorpio Moon, personal sensitivity is profoundly transformational. Both Sun and Moon now at 16 degrees also make good aspects to other planets. The Beltane fixed-earth Venus-ruled Taurus Sun next to auspicious Jupiter, and Earth Mother, Ceres (aka Demetre), indicates a potentially good harvest for all that has been metaphorically sown during the previous two weeks, from new moon to full.

As soon as La Luna is full, she begins to wane towards the new moon solar eclipse on May 20th at 0 Gemini. This will then mark another important lunation, as Venus in Gemini will also be in retrograde motion (think back 8 years to June 2004 to reconnect with this other incredibly rare 121-year occultation, a phenomena which occurs in pairs). This retrograde of the Love Goddess is perfect to tame the mind and restore self–love.

Cultivate a Wealth of Virtue ♥ Taurus New Moon ♥

New Moons are times of new beginnings. In abundant earthy Taurus, sign of food, flowers and finance, seeds of the new are planted to grow in the garden, as well as in the sensuous wilds of true Taurean treasure: the kind and loving heart-mind. The Taurean Bull highlights what we value, be that a thing, person, place or song.

Buddha was a Taurus. The following lines sum up his teachings:

“Commit not a single unwholesome action,
Cultivate a wealth of virtue,
To tame this mind of ours.”

We have the opportunity to tame the mind - and more, with the Taurus New Moon @8:18BST, where the Moon is exalted, as it constellates a very practical ‘Earth Trine’, a triangle formation with active Mars in healing Virgo, and transformational Pluto in powerful Capricorn. This useful ‘Earth Trine’ remains in stabilising effect for twelve more days. We need this celestial steadiness because Mars remains at early degrees Virgo in opposition to the ‘wounded-water’ configuration that is Neptune and Chiron (still in effect two years since the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico – not to mention Fukishima). And although Mars is the high-flying point of the ‘Earth Trine’ which becomes the tail of a rare ‘Earth-Water Kite’ formation – which is a wonderful opportunity to fix damaged power structures, mend broken hearts, and have deep psychological/emotional breakthrough – it might be so wonderful that we take for granted any boon, bountiful shooting stars, or stroke of genius we have or encounter, that we easily ignore the cosmic help now on offer. So be aware or you might blink and miss it and get stuck with Mars in his other tight aspect: still at ‘the bends’, being in direct ‘T’ square to destiny’s nodal axis. In fact, warrior Mars is dealing with this fast blast of karma, which requires constant readjustment throughout most of the lunation, until after Wesek, at the last quarter Moon around May 13th. To be honest, Mars in this position is not my favourite; situations can get heated for no reason other than ignorance.

Venus is often the only planet that can seduce a listless Mars. As Love Goddess Venus is the Taurean ruler, now in smooth-talking Gemini, (where she will soon perform an amazing celestial dance (more on this to come)) harmonious relations entail entering into dialogue to understand others' point of view To do so means one is truly on the dharma path, well on the way to the equipoise that cultivates a wealth of virtue, awakening the heart chakra and taming the anxious mind though love-wisdom and compassion _(♥)_

Love ♥☼♥ Light Libra Full SuperMoon ~> April 2012

Full Libra SuperMoon on the rise, to be exact Friday at 20:19 BST (NY 03:19pm (EDT); Delhi Saturday 7th 00:42 am (IST)), with Sun at 17 Aries radiating fire and assertion and the light of light itself, opposite the loving and sweetly pushy Libra; this one is all about you and me, baby!  

How we relate to others, either in business or love comes into focus - and possibly to a head. With sensitive Moon next to swami Saturn, and in a dramatic Thor’s Hammer formation with Neptune and Venus, self-initiated karma can make one feel alone, even in intimate partnership. This is good – and all part of the cosmic plan, which is to help one understand that even in relationship if we are not responsible for our own actions, who or what else is? 

The nature of LOVE is blissful, light and free; so why be weighted down by emotional drama?
Aries directness opposite balancing Libra stimulates Divine love to emanate from the heart, for this full ‘Pink Moon’ reminds us how loving kindness frees us from the ego shackles of self-centredness, paving the way for harmonious connection, be that with a friend, enemy or stranger.

The ‘Mutable Cross’ mentioned in a previous post continues to hold sway, but with a slight change of cast on the cosmic stage. We still have retrograde Mars in Virgo, about to go station direct on the 14th April (movement in the right direction at last!), opposite the ongoing Neptune-Chiron conjunction, accenting exactly where deep emotional healing is required (check for 3 degrees Virgo-Pisces in your scope); this opposition is in square to Love Goddess Venus in versatile Gemini (where she goes retrograde for 40 days and 40 nights in May-June), now conjunct the South Node (Dragon's tail) she is opposite the Juno-North Node conjunction, to form a Goddess dominated Fire-Air axis of this changeable Cross.  Experiences absorbed and imbibed during this Mutable Cross help one to remain true to goals - especially with Juno conjunct the Dragon's head, to act and react during time of fast-moving change in a manner that raises both consciousness AND planetary awareness. 

One last note about this Full Moon is that it is the first of three super moons in a row. The supermoon (a phrase coined by the amazing Richard Nolle) is when the Full (or new) Moon is closest to the earth. We normally experience more geomagnetic action and see more storms both on earth and at sea during super powerful moons. So take good care everyone. Go easy upon self and others and enjoy the wisdom of discriminating awareness throughout the beautiful Libra Moon _()_

Mercury Retrograde in Aries ~> 12th March 2012

Strength often shines through in the most extraordinary circumstances during hard times. It’s as though the will to act and create comes directly from the source. In astrology we look to Aries for such bravery and the cosmic urge that powers and propels.

We are now in the run-up to Spring Equinox, at 0 degrees Aries; and Mercury, planet of the mind, went retrograde yesterday (12th March) in the sign of the Warrior. At the solar marker of equal-day equal-night Mercury will conjoin the Equinox Sun. Mercury rules the mind, and Aries individual assertion. In the coming weeks impetus and volition are subject to razor-sharp analysis - with potentially brilliant insight.

Note that throughout this retrograde period, when Mercury even leaves the sign of the Ram and goes back into Pisces (March 24th), to contemplate the end of certain matters, Mercury’s dominant healing challenge is actually in relation to the group-oriented Uranus, planet of dramatic change as well as humanitarian altruism. Both planets are airy and intellectual, combining to initiate unusual change, making contact three times. The first was only a few days ago (on 5th March); the second conjunction is on the 18th March, just before equinox; and again a month later on the 22nd April.

From the point of view of esoteric astrology this is an important series of conjunctions. Mercury is the esoteric ruler of Aries, suggesting the hot-headed Ram needs to be smart to make right action; and Uranus is the hierarchical ruler of Aries, accenting how one distinctively operates within the crowd. Recognising the value of each unique individual's heroic contribution in the process of collective evolution is the optimum way to ensure all talents are bravely actualised and accomplished.

Also worth baring in mind is that the Aries Mercury and Virgo Mars are not only both retrograde, but they are currently in 'mutual reception', i.e. Mars rules Aries and Mercury rules Virgo; so that the hero's 'right action' and 'right understanding' work well together, particularly with self-introspection. Mercury goes forward on the 4th April. And Mars goes forward on the 14th April; until which date we are advised to exercise patience and not be too rash or aggressive - in Buddhist thinking this is actually a good reminder that anger wipes out karmic merit in one fell swoop.

Chotrul Duchen ☼ March 8th 2012 Full Moon in Virgo_(♥)_

_(♥)_.•✩¨¯`•☆٠.•..•¨*☽☀★☼
2012’s – or should I say- 2139’s Chotrul Duchen is Full Virgo Moon ~> The 15th day of the first Tibetan month since Losar, Tibetan New year, is a Festival of LIGhT and a‘Day of Miracles’, when (Pisces) prayers are offered to the Buddha and karma is multiplied X 100 million _()_

** The 18Virgo Full Moon is conjunct retrograde Mars, in opposition to Spirit Sun in the compassionate sign of the fish ~> The Virgin Luna highlights purification, dedication and practice, all the while reflecting the light of the devotional Pisces Sun, through meditation, yoga, music, dance, art (etc), internalising pure wisdom with an awareness of (the need for) spiritual healing . 

The SUN in astrology is also consciousness: the LIGHT of INTELLIGENCE. Solar Dragon X-flares are now hurling plasma, protons, and charged particles in though both of Earth’s poles, north and south: Earth’s avaduti and spiritual gateways, boosting cosmic light sustenance that we can use to align in meditation, generating even more light, and that all important Bodhicitta. 

_(♥)_.•✩¨¯`•☆٠.•..•¨*☽☀★☼ 
Yet with a still-in-aspect Sun~Mars opposition, stories of war oppress: I was wondering: does human blood's iron-count go up when testosterone-driven Mars is closer to the Earth, and associated with the Sun? (As it is right now, retrograde in Virgo and in opposition to the Sun.) I can't find anything on the net (so far) along these lines? Not sure if it were a dream I had that Japanese scientists were analysing blood iron ratio to Mars perihelion in the 90’s. I wish there were research grants for ideas like this – maybe there is - somewhere? If not, there ought to be.

The Sun~Mars also reminds that any applied patience over the past few days will stand anyone in good stead in the karmic merit bank, and may well be good practice this upcoming Full Moon, because La Luna’s light grows into culmination all the while sidling along by the retrograde warrior planet Mars. Passion is easily roused when sensitive Moon and fiery Red Mars commune in light near fixed Royal Star, Regulus, the dramatic heart of the regal Lion ♥

Mars also rules Aries, the dynamic sign in which communicative Mercury now joins forces with altruistic Uranus for the 1st of 3 conjunctions (as Mercury starts an applying soon-to-be-retrograde shadow period). Both Mercury & Uranus are in a tight square to transformational Pluto. Quick-moving change is taking place all over the show. Some change might seem choppy. Note that any issue or agreement in dispute may take another month or so to work-out and rework into a new dynamic.

It’s an excitable astral mix :) _(♥)_

Ardour is aroused, as Goddess of Love, Venus, is now at home in Taurus, doubling Jupiter's joy, feasting and merry-making, for the Full Virgo Moon and Losar’s ‘Day of Miracles’ on Thursday 8th March (9:39am gmt) ~> Jupiter’s day! This Full Virgo Moon reflecting the Pisces Sun holds potentially abundant prayerful healing, as well as a steadying of expectation _(♥)_
The Pisces Sun and Virgo Moon see the Divine in the ordinary.

Dedicating any goodness of a day when karma is multiplied to the benefit of all beings, with the wish that they may be free from suffering (Pisces), and become the best they can be (Virgo).


Enjoy! There's a splendid display of spectacular auroras already dancing around Earth’s poles with the Water Dragon Sun especially hot on winged heels during this rather vigorous Sun-Mars opposition, with its triple Solar ‘X-flare’ signature . ♥¸.•✩¨¯`•☆٠.•..•¨*☽☀★☼




Its also Holi, the Indian 'Festival of Colours' and International Woman's Day! May the miraculous blessings of the Goddess be colourful & glorious! :)

Losar Guru Rinpoche Day ~> 3rd March 2012

Spirit Sun opposes dynamic Mars during today’s Guru Rinpoche day, the first in our year of the inscrutable Dragon; and the currently perceptive Moon conjoins active Mars in a few days time for the Losar Full Moon ‘Day of Miracles’ on the 8th March (International Woman’s day!). The inspired Pisces Sun encourages spiritual service, showing compassion and kindness to all beings, while a retrograde Mars in Virgo can get ultra-critical, stuck in the discerning search for personal perfection. Though a helpful and rather auspicious trine formation between today’s Pisces Sun and the receptive Moon, now at home in super-sensitive Cancer, suggests applying skilful means – patience, insight and analytical reasoning quickly clears thinking clouded by unrelated feelings, to tell the difference between illusion and delusion. Recognising what is real or pure fantasy calms this potentially tricky aspect between Sun and Mars. Good time for healing rifts and familiarising oneself with what is truly healthy for body and soul _/♥\_ ૐ

LOSAR ~ TIBETAN New Year 2139 Black Water Dragon ~Feb-22-2012

Best LOSAR wishes to EVERYONE for the TIBETAN NEW YEAR of the WATER DRAGON 2139! _/♥\_ 

New Moon is at 22:35gmt (-5 NY, +5:30 Delhi) in 2 Pisces; Sun and Moon conjunct Neptune, Pallas Athena, Chiron & Mercury all in Pisces indicate that magic is in the air with such an extraordinary heavenly line-up, encouraging one to make a plan to heal the suffering of being a human floundering in the sea of Samsara, to dissolve duality into ONEness and experience Piscean/Neptunian emptiness & bliss
_/♥\_ ૐ And maybe even create a miracle by Full Moon on March 8th, the 'Day of Miracles' ♥ 
Although we’ve been asked not to celebrate Losar this year, and to remain in prayer for those who are in Tibet, I still want to bubble up through the Piscean Dragon water and say please do enJOY the spiritual offerings and essential greatness this combination of planets symbolises. 

Essentially there are a great many pointers that indicate that now is the time think in longer cycles, not just where we are in relation to the East’s Black Water Dragon, who is active, passionate and extremely perceptive for a whole solar year; but also our Western Oceanic Neptune is now at home in imaginative Pisces for the next 14 years; and this new way of collective sensing even reverberates with yesterday’s MahaShivratri, the Hindu festival when Shiva dances his creative-destructive cosmic dance, at the same time he saves humanity by drinking the poison which comes about from churning-up the milky universe; this rather selfless and compassionate, Dzogchen action perfectly aligns with current planetary aspirations to save or be rescued.  


With so many planets resonnanting together in the sign of samsara and nirvana, hope and hopelessness, victims and martyrs - especially those who suffer for their spiritual faith - I am also saying a prayer for all those in Tibet – including the Chinese. This currently horrific wave of violence and self-immolation or reactive crackdown is tragic for all concerned.  Yet while both cultures have much in common - and there has to be a 'middle way', I also feel incredibly helpless, as totalitarian commercialism marches upon all indigenous and shamanic beings who live in close harmony to the land and the elements, all over the world.  It is not just Tibet where 'tribals' and 'communities' are threatened and often sacrificed in the name of power. Still, it is still interesting how Tibet and China do share certain development (Much like the English and Irish, i.e. similar, but not quite.). In the calendar there are often have different starting dates for new elemental years. China, and a most of Asia, always celebrate on the Aquarius New Moon. The energy of which indicates an intellectual cool and detached approach to humanity (which also resonates with China’s Moon sign). The Tibetan year shifts between Aquarius, and where it is found more often, in devoted and spiritual Pisces. Maybe this says something about the general population themselves? All food for thought - especially if we consider the difference of being Jupiter ruled, or Saturn ruled, as is New Year for most of the world. 

This year's Losar Pisces Black Water Dragon Neptune Moon is a serious reminder us that our global theme of the moment is the state of our WATER.  To be in the flow: of water, of communication, cash, and cosmic biocognative energy is what the coming decade is all about. Good to note that Pisces's traditional ruler is Jupiter, modern ruler is Neptune, and esoteric ruler is Pluto; in this order it suggests that in the past we grew, at present we dissolve into divinty, and deep down, within the shared psyche, we powerfully transform – a process that takes generations to complete; but once it happens as a race we evolve to become more compassionate and caring, as indicated by the highest vibration of this end of zodiac sign. That’s the theory anyway. We may actually keep on swimming in our own nonsense forevermore, which would also be quite in keeping with Pisces/Neptune & the 12th House – otherwise known as the Celestial Dustbin, as dear Liz Green calls it!   

:) Me? I prefer the super-subtle but mighty-powerful spiritual evolution that’s on offer and, seeing as Pisces is on my 4th house cusp (and the angles are always very important for transits), I will no doubt see my spiritual foundation grow, dissolve, and surrender into the transformation within the magical and universal unfolding of mystical Neptune in emotional Pisces _/♥\_ ૐ

So, with that..
I wish all beings are happy, that they be free from suffering and that all are liberated from this ocean of Samsara and its pounding waves of old age, birth, sickness and death. _/♥\_ ૐ

Sun * Neptune * Chiron * Pallas-Athena * Mercury in Pisces ❤♫ ><((((º>

Spirit Sun now at last anaretic degree of humanitarian Aquarius ~> changing signs into magical Pisces at 6:19am tomorrow, 19th Feb. Sensitive Moon is also about to enter her dark and most reflective phase, to be new in the sign of the fishes on Tuesday, celebrating LOSAR and Tibetan New Year of the WATER DRAGON 2139, on Wednesday 22nd.

Our new era of merging dimensions & spiritual awareness is progressing. Setting an altruistic intention to generate Bodhicitta as the Sun, as LIGHT of intelligence, moves into spiritual water sign Pisces, to conjoin oceanic Neptune (for the 1st time in 165 years (which rules Pisces)) with Shaman-healer Chiron, warrior-woman Pallas Athena, AND informative Mercury (plus Losar Moon) this weeks' heavenly message is profound :::~~> "DEEP EMOTIONAL HEALING" ❤♫ ♥❤•

><((((º>♥><((((º>❤♫ ♥❤• ><((((º> ♥ ><((((º>♥♪•●❤♫ ♥❤•><((((º>♥

‘As without, so within’; As we heal our own delusion with love & gratitude, we also heal the world around us, including the most subtle vibration that enhances the structure of Earth's precious water.

Swimming through Neptune's undulating depths Whales are the world's record keepers; as such they're Shamanic totems for wise souls who understand the painful secrets of the deep, wherein lies a psychic and cosmic vibration that highlights connectivity and Global ONEness. Through listening to whale song we resonate with longer cycles of time and generational issues; Whales, and other beings from the seas and oceans, help us overcome any fear of the unknown, to explore unchartered realms and tune into the collective (un)conscious, emphasising ancestral healing and deep spiritual insight, with sensitivity and unconditional love and compassion _(❤)_

Love Heals ♥ ~> Last Quarter ♥ Valentine ♥ Scorpio Moon ♥

A Last Quarter Valentine Scorpio Moon on Tuesday Feb 14th has the power to help to overcome obstacles and heal the heart and Spirit of all kinds of relationships, be that with yourself, your family, your friends, colleagues or co-workers, as well as the treasured Valentine heart.

With Spirit Sun in eccentric Aquarius, in a closing square to the extremely perceptive Scorpio Moon, the lights accent the profoundly therapeutic qualities of Medicine Buddha as well as Goddess Tara’s enlightened activity. Both signs, Aquarius & Scorpio, are fixed and fearless. Aquarius is cold sharp Air, and Scorpio the inexhaustible well of Water; together they produce instinctive intelligence, combining intellect and sensitivity to delve into deep and delicate issues with an air of cool detachment, yet still emotionally engaged.  This, in my opinion, is a most shamanic Sun-Moon combination.  Not only are we one week away from Losar, the Tibetan New year, but one must also bare in mind how the Moon is also hierarchical ruler of Aquarius, suggesting that only when everyone’s needs are met does humanity evolve.  

So we say goodbye to the Rabbit Year, and before the New Water Dragon begins this Mysterious Scorpio Moon could takes us into very dark spaces and places, just as the non-conformist Aquarius Sun provides a fluorescent electric zapper that twinkles and illuminates, especially tantalising within the hypnotic shadows. In short, now is the time to liberate the psyche, and shine laser-light insight into the depths of the receptive soul, to access an assess previously ignored or hidden situations or circumstance (within, as in one’s own intuitive action, speech, or intent; as well as without, as in inter-personal and/or intimate relationship).

Throughout this global day of Medicine Buddha Insightful Goddess Love, our aspirations can be like a humanitarian Water Bearer, firmly holding an altruistic wish for all to be in their flow; at the same time our sensitive Scorpio Moon develops inner-resources that enable us to release negativity into the void, to be at once transformed and purified. During any crisis of conscience, be aware that clarity and wisdom work together at this point in time in a state of highly creative tension, dancing between crazy inspiration and total obsession - an extraordinary dynamic that can nourish and feed personal relations as well as the global family. Happy Valentine, dear heartS
