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

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

Where Do We Come From? What Are WE? Where Are We Going?  Paul Gauguin, 1897 - oil on canvas, 139 x 375cm   a few thoughts to share  about this Scorpio full MoonDay 22.04.2016 @ 05:23 UT if our world makes us feel insecure it is not because we are ultimately meant to die or because of Nature or the outer Cosmos as they all fall under the same rule and principles as our Natural Selves if our world makes us feel insecure, it is because of our social selves  and our human-made rules  which follow the single rule  of "business" in previous times busy-ness was a noble activity, it was a way to exchange goods and services to enrich our lives and improve our personal and collective destiny; in our present times business has become a weapon for alienation and mass destruction .. we give it many names "small business", "big business", "to give someone the business", "to get the business", "mean business", "monkey bus

from the catalog of Fixed Stars  Kitab al-Kawakib suwar al-Tabita   by Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (903–986) from Esfahan  persian manuscript Aries New Moon 7.04.2016 @ 11:23:40 ut a very strong impetuous beginning for this solar year that began with Noruz' F I R E Sun, Moon, Venus, Uranus in Aries and Mars, Saturn in Sagittarius some of us may still be dealing with the after-taste of the recent two eclipses.. a sign that we are doing the work and taking things deeply the New Moon alignment indicates that for all our frustrations and discontent with the past we may have come to terms with the challenge and knowing that there is no easy way out we now trust our Selves, have the courage and the confidence not to follow the herd, crack that shell in order to be reborn.. after this month there will be no turning back: this period is a time to make sure you have learned from mistakes to wash off the past, you see things clearly and are ready to make choices with your "he

New Moon chart : 27 June 2014, 8:08:27gmt - 7e15, 43n42 Less than a week after the solstice, this New Moon in Cancer is stamping its tempo for the summer (winter in the southern hemisphere) and with - a prominence of planets in Cardinal signs  - Mars just coming out of opposition to Uranus   - the Sun moving into opposition to Pluto - Venus square Neptune it heralds an extremely active month - if not compulsive - during which, issues of 'Belonging' will be  on our minds. On the other hand, Neptune in trine to the New Moon, a majority of planets in the water element and Jupiter slowly ending its year-long transit through Cancer also indicate : a timely focus on our need for intimacy and nurturing, on our inner life, a general softening of our past judgements, the mending and healing of our bruised emotions. as there is a risk for emotional dramas  if we delude ourselves, become preys to extreme moods and lose our sense of boundaries  some sol

may "Light"  always  overcome "darkness" ... as i write there has been much delirious buzzing about the coming grand cardinal cross line-up (April 2014) which is to occur shortly after the March 2014 equinox/ingress point and Aries new moon: the speculations involve many dark scenarios because the planet Mars will be joining the cardinal cross...  let us try to remember the various times of our lives which carried a drastic sense of "before and after" the kind that was all transforming on many different levels... weren't these periods of our lives usually confusing, sometime very painful and full of darkness? most likely, yes. despite any intuition or foreboding, could we have been able to predict the exact outcome for these transformations? most likely, no. even the most capable seers and psychics can only be 'approximative'... that's because so much seems to happen outside our ultimate human

' Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. ' —  Einstein ' Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that draws it. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves. ' —  Buddha   Just days before the winter solstice, a full Moon in Gemini opposing the Sun allows for a frosted clarity in our perception of reality... This December Full Moon is an invitation to realize how we create the world we live in with all our thoughts, wishes and fears. As energy never gets lost but changes in form, we therefore have the power to shape and transform our inner/outer environment.. so that a different world eventually 'materialize'.   snow-covered pyramids december 2013. symbol Gemini 26°: Frost-covered trees against winter skies.

  A butterfly emerging from a chrysalis. Key: The capacity to utterly transform the character of one's consciousness by radically altering the structural patterns of everyday living and the types of relationships one enters upon. Here what is emphasized is the process of metamorphosis itself. The symbol stresses the essential character of the activity required at this stage of the cycle; i.e. nothing short of a complete renewal of all the implications of being alive as a human individual will do. A radical change is needed. At this stage, this change is individual and mental, and it should be seen against the background of humanity as a whole. What is revealed is the potential ability of every human being to participate in a higher realm of evolution AFTER his or her emergence from a critical state of transition. At this stage the Keyword is METAMORPHOSIS. In spiritual terms, this implies "Initiation," i.e. entering a higher realm of conscious existence an

There is a great Master of Masters, the Indweller of your heart.  Turn the gaze inwards, withdraw the Indriyas and seek His help.  Rest in Him. Identify yourself with Him. Search Him in your heart.  - Swami Sivananda Full Moon 22 July 2013, 18:52:32 gmt, 7e15 43n42 hear your inner master is he calling you to meet the current challenge of sustainability? interestingly Guru Purnima celebration this year (our thanking of teachers and masters) coincides with Jupiter (conjunct Mars and Lilith) aligning in a grand trine with Saturn and Neptune announcing the Star of David configuration An old Adobe mission in California. Key: The power inherent in all great human works to endure far beyond the workers' life spans. The works and spirit of the Spanish priests who directed the building of the California missions have had a lasting influence on the development of this land; these remain as a monument to the men who were able to make their mark upon this alien

"Geometrically speaking, the equilateral triangle is the most stable of all forms. The astrological grand trine normally links the three aspects of each of the four elements. It presents every mode of existence in its essentially threefold nature. It is unique in all astrological configurations in that it is composed of only one kind of aspect — and just as the grand cross is the archetype of all rectangular patterns in astrology, the grand trine occupies the same position in relation to triangular configurations. The equilateral triangle symbolizes in most religions perfection of being — i.e., God as the supreme foundation of all existence. In that sense, it is the symbol of both a static and transcendent condition. It contains no opposition aspect; therefore, it is essentially subjective. It simply is, without conflicts, what it is. However, if an expansive planet like Jupiter dominates a grand trine, this 'what it is' may keep enlarging itself
