ॐ Scorpio Dakini Moon ~ January 15th/16th 2015

_/♥\_This Capricorn lunation’s 'Dakini Day', when Spirit Sun makes the last major aspect in the form of the Sextile to the powerful Scorpio Moon, the (tantric) path of transform beckons as the means to liberation. When the waning Scorpio Dakini Moon conjuncts weighty but beauitful Saturn, planet of responsibility and discipline, this direction’s challenges are real and solid (relatively speaking ;) ). Confronting long-held fears can now bring certain karma to an end. Whether the karma ripening now is from this life’s causes and conditions may remain to be seen; there are many celestial factors currently at play which accent the realisation of the results of dedicated perseverance. Indeed, spiritual accomplishment can take many lifetimes. And as TimeLord Saturn in Sagittarius currently has the last say in present aspects - by way of planetary disposition - there’s reason to be optimistic about any work being achieved right now. Astral tip: The broader the view, the stronger and more meaningful the attainment.

❤ “Om Tara Tutare Ture Soha” Tara Moon Jan15

12th/13th January __/\__Tara Moon ~> The Capricorn lunation’s last quarter healing Moon in Libra calls upon Tara, the beautiful Goddess of Compassion, as the Envoy of Peace, to save us from being overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, or other earthly concerns. Secure in the support of the Divine Feminine (within), now is the time to seek a calm place of rest (before the next new moon January 20th), somewhere to reflect, feed the soul, and absorb the inherent fractal beauty of creation.
This last quarter Moon is also conjunct the destiny-fulfilling North Node, where a fair and just future currently beckons. Thus the astral message is to follow your heart: Do whatever makes you feel love, balanced and in harmony with the world. In the nicest possible way, let go of all that which prevents spiritual practice, all the while mindful of how karma multiplies. Any judgment should be directed towards forgiveness, to free the heart-mind and allow the healing LoveLight to shine in all ten directions.

☆ Full Moon in Cancer ❤ _/\_ Jan4th-5th ☆ •°*☾ ◯☽ *°•.☆

Events/thoughts/words can now trigger radical changes in direction towards beauty and enthusiasm, liberation and transformation. As the perihelion Sun (closest the Earth) shines upon the full and emotionally double-intense Cancer Moon at the nodal bends (@4:53GMT Jan5th), ‘The Lights’ spark into action the powerful ‘Cardinal Cross of the Central Spiritual Sun’. This dynamic ‘Grand Square’ (13-14 degrees Capricorn, Aries, Cancer Libra) accents Risen Divinity and the sacred union of wisdom and compassion, in action and loving kindness.

Tonight’s Full Moon Grand Cross is dominated by all things Lunar. It is therefore the powerful Mother Goddess archetype (who resides within) providing crystal clarity, universal connection and protection, calling each and every one of us at the very start of this New Year to raise the cosmic love vibration and cultivate a limitless heart, aspiring to take care of all beings and our environment, as a Spiritual Mother would look after her child.

Happy New Year & Full Moon Blessings to all ॐ

Guru Rinpoche New Year! 2015

__/\__ Celebrating the wisdom of the Lama as 2014 draws to a close. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the moon phase five days before a full moon, the Gibbous Moon, is a monthly feast day in honour of our Teacher (Guru or Lama, historical or modern, friend, foe or loved one), who shows us how to live in love, with compassion. With the moon not yet full (Jan4th), Luna’s light is still reflective and bright; and this is considered the monthly optimum expression of joyful and luminous ‘yang’ energy. Both Sun and Moon are always in the same element for Guru Rinpoche day. In today’s case, the initiating Capricorn Sun and an exalted Taurus Moon accent the stabilising Earth element, helping to manifest in the ‘real’ world. A practical Moon in the sign of the Bull moderates Capricorn’s austere ambition, bringing out the SeaGoat Sun’s more spiritual qualities, such as maintaining the stamina and strength to accept personal responsibility and to welcome with an open heart the unerring discipline and practice needed to master skills - talents which are so often wasted without value or encouragement. Now ‘The Lights’ emphasis the wisdom of the (inner) Guru, it bodes well for our intentions, visioning, affirmations and resolutions to materialise for the coming year, 2015.


Happy New Year All!

◯ Dark Moon Dark Sun ~ Winter Solstice 2014

Shortest day and longest night is fast approaching. At the same time the Moon cycle is coming to a close, compounding long shadow days and the need to allow subconscious thoughts, feelings and dreams to bubble up to the surface before being filtered by the light of consciousness.
Until the Winter Solstice (21st Dec 23:03GMT ), swiftly followed by the New Capricorn Moon (22nd Dec 001:25gmt ) - with both markers occurring around midnight Universal Time, this closing part of the year is also one of the year’s darkest periods. Before solar standstill, and like the animals hibernating, it is now time to relax (as best one can in the often hectic pre-xmas whirl). During these next few days the receptive and feminine Yin chi flows deeply and strong (in the northern hemisphere). Within this dark space the urge to turn inwards, in order to recoup and revive, is an innate part of our natural cycle. It is also a time of major personal initiation into our own internal light, teaching to kindle the light which resides in our heart. Soul and Spirit illuminating faith and trust, hope and compassion, qualities for the SOLstice blessings to take forward into the New Year – and beyond.

❂~❈~❂ TARA MEDICINE MOON ❂~❈~❂

15th December ~> Last Quarter Virgo Moon square Sagittarius Sun

☼ ☾ With today’s lunar emphasis upon the healing qualities of the Divine Feminine, honouring the Great Mother liberator can free us from fear and protect from suffering. All the while, the generous Sagittarian Sun inspires one to remain confident and optimistic, to know that rainbows and miracles do happen, and to encourage an open mind as the means to a kind and open heart. 

♅⚥ ♇ Tomorrow, the 16th, sees the 6th of 7 exact squares between generational planets Uranus and Pluto, accenting a particularly long struggle for freedom within this powerful period of collective transformation.  This configuration which began 2012, demands the kind of change where altruism and lucidity can flourish, where all beings are nurtured with an awareness of their authentic presence.

The Sacred Goddess (within) protects from having the wrong view during challenging times, helping to retain a balanced mind that frees from harmful negative emotions.  And as we turn towards Solstice with a New Capricorn Moon on the 22nd, when the New Light King is born (in the Northern Hemisphere), it is the unconditional love of the glorious Goddess who prepares to act and tender compassionate healing, even in our darkest hours. So follow Tara's lead and take care of yourself and others as a mother would a child, and enjoy the blessings from the great Goddess.

While her left leg is folded in the contemplative position, her right leg is outstretched, ready to spring into action. Green Tara’s left hand is in the refuge-granting mudra (gesture); her right hand makes the boon-granting [giving] gesture. In her hands she also holds closed blue lotuses (utpalas), which symbolize purity and power.”

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
