14 December 2016 @ 0:06 GMT at 22°25 gemini tonight the last 2016 full-moon indicates that there is more than one side to the story but also provides an opportunity to align with a deeply felt truth and express an optimistic higher view with the mystic rectangle the energies at hand require a mind-FULL creative imaginative pioneering disposition .. according to Rudhyar this pattern involves two potentially awareness-revealing, illuminating oppositions that can creatively reach ideal or inspired fruition (trine influence) thru intelligent, innovative utilization of energies (sextile influence). symbol for your consideration : Three fledglings in a nest high in a tree. Key: The growth of spiritually creative processes in an at least relatively integrated mind. In traditional symbolism birds usually refer to spiritual forces, or at least to the higher and freer aspects of the mind. Here we see only the very beginning of a process in what we might also call "

Upper part of caduceus (Hermes staff) Bronze, early 5th century B.C. as we have been walking through the shadow-zone of  the coming final 2016 Mercury Retrograde here are a couple of things regarding this cycle  on 19 December 2016 @ 10:56 UT  Mercury will turn retrograde at 15°08 Capricorn and on 8 January 2017 @ 9:43 UT  its movement will turn direct at 28°51 Sagittarius Sun will conjunct Mercury on 28 December 2016 because of its alignment with Pluto  this retrograde period will be particularly intense  despite all the flat connotations  surrounding this kind of cycle such as the power struggles, the backstabbing, threats, slander, deceit, bitter arguments... I'd like to focus on  its constructive and helpful aspects  i can only here describe a certain atmosphere  and make general suggestions  because at the end of the day  it all depends on your own chart  for one thing you might consider spending this holiday season in a self-reflective revere

“Old Man and Young Girl”   Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472-1553) Sagittarius NewMoonDay 29 November 2016, 12:18UT  in the series reap what we sow  the ebb-and-flow is unending   Karma / Dharma  Moon and Sun are conjunct Juno square Neptune and LunarNode Venus & Pluto square Jupiter, Uranus and Eris indications: the personal is a reflection of the collective and vice versa there currently is a rampant after-elections growing concern  about its short and long term effects  people tend to remember their civic responsibilities in times of elections, they don't realise how their daily behaviour and choices do play an essential part in the picture social hierarchies indicate how people bond on an intimate level and ultimately reflect their psyche in micro and macro symbol for your consideration WITHIN THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH NEW ELEMENTS ARE BEING FORMED.

Calculation of solar and lunar eclipses from 14th century manuscript:   "The Wonders of Creation"  by al-Qazwini continuing the 2016 personal/collective recalibration after we made our way through the last March eclipse and the over-six-months-long "re" cleansing period, we are now approaching the energy field of a clock-resetting eclipse season in the Virgo/Pisces axis.. Mercury is about to turn retrograde on 31 August and the following day on 1 September, the new moon aligns with the Nodes in a solar eclipse at 09°21′ Virgo which will fully activate the challenges and distorting influences of the square between Saturn (Sagittarius) Neptune (Pisces) engaging our 'being' at all levels, these enormous energies at hand indicate the disappearance of massive areas of our karmic past, this process comes with a lingering sense of angst, fear, guilt, depression... so my suggestion is to observe without clinging how they come about and let them diss

19 July 2016 - 22:56:35 UT - 0w10 , 51n30 full moon in Capricorn  call what a blessing it is  to be able to tune in with the inner Master symbol: an Indian girl introduces her white lover to her assembled tribe. Key : Inner rebirth through a total acceptance of the primordial values manifest in the human body and its natural functions. Even as this symbol was formulated in the clairvoyant's mind, a few individuals belonging to the American intelligentsia were trying to find in their absorption into the culture of the Indian pueblos of the Southwest a solution to their intellectual artificiality and personal emotional emptiness. Fifty years later this process has gained great momentum, especially among the disenchanted youth of our affluent middle class. The soul — or in Jungian terms, the "anima"— is leading the sophisticated and colorless (white!) intellect to a level of consciousness at which man can again operate in tune with the vast pr

New Cancer Moon  4.07.2016 ~ 11:01:01 UT ~ 2e20, 48n52 ( > end of Ramadan) an invitation to go through the portal your adversary will be the bearer of light fire as purifier Moon Sun Mercury Venus in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn trine Neptune in Pisces quincunx Saturn in Sagittarius outstanding pattern: combining oppositions trines and sextiles in water and earth into a strongly structured rectangle (called mystic) which allows for ultimate harmonious integration through conscious effort and increased awareness symbol for your consideration and inspiration: A hand with a prominent thumb is held out for study. Key: The power of the will in shaping character. Here again we see how a personal characteristic reveals what is behind it psychologically and spiritually. The thumb in palmistry signifies the will; a very rigid thumb shows an unbending will; a more flexible one, a more pliable individual. In the original formulation of the symbol the "hand" was sa

Sarasvati, goddess of speech, learning and the arts is especially associated with music and knowledge. This 10-11th c. sculpture represents her playing the vina and holding a palm-leaf manuscript as well as a lotus flower.         a major shift is to be expected on 20 June 2016 a chance to individually and collectively elevate our vibrations and potentially awaken and expand our higher consciousness as a shining solstice full Sagittarius Moon  @ 11:03 UT  aligns with the galactic center!! this Sagittarius Moon - the previous full moon was also in Sagittarius - opposes the Gemini Sun and Venus and just hours later @ 22:35 UT the solstice Sun ingresses into Cancer  while both rulers Mercury and Jupiter are involved in the mutable grand cross with Neptune and Saturn, and highlight the need  - to integrate our higher creative intelligence into physical manifestation  - and to be serving agents to the whole full moon chart , 20 June 2016 ,

Gibran, The Broken Wings 1912     chart for New Moon on 5 june 2016 , 2:59 UT , 7e23 - 43n42 this New Moon at 14°53 Gemini should bring much needed elegantly and clearly presented information in the midst of the current confusing "re-period" (multi-retrograde-planets-period) it comes with a septile to Uranus, a quincunx to Pluto and an outstanding grand mutable cross involving Sun.Moon.Venus (conjunction) in Gemini Saturn retrograde in Sagittarius Neptune.Chiron in Pisces Jupiter.North-Node in Virgo All these forces pulling in many direct

Le Jardinier, c. 1885  -  Paul Cézanne (1839–1906) Oil on canvas, 64.9 x 54 cm about the (re)period corresponding to the current planetary retrogrades  with Mars going retro tomorrow immediately followed by Pluto the following day << by the end of April Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Mars and Pluto will be retrograde >> i'd like to share with you what i responded to a friend a couple of days ago a time of 'crisis' is comparable to a shift of seasons during which we need to change our ways that which (in our ways) was useful yesterday no longer meets our needs and will prevent new growth if we don't do anything, as it clutters the 'space'.. while other things which will have an important purpose later seem to be useless now now imagine you enter a garden in chaos after a tempest to clean up the mess and put your garden back in working order you're not called upon keeping everything as is nor throwing everything out you can only proceed
