“ I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.” Hafez As everyone has been writing extensively about the significance of having a Total Lunar Eclipse occur just hours before the Solstice, I will not enter the dispute over the last occurence of such astrological event and will only add my two penny with a few considerations. This total Lunar Eclipse occurring at 29° Gemini while the Full Moon is closely aligned to the Nodes, is joined by Mercury retrograde and Pluto, and is squared Uranus .. Days prior to this Sagittarius Sun. Gemini Moon opposition, time speeded up with Mars joining the North Node before a triple meeting with Pluto and Mercury gone retrograde: many probably have experienced breakdowns and breakthroughs .. revealing in due course the 'karmic' dimensions of the current times. But feeling that time to take important decisions was inevitably approaching, we've probably pondered over all poss

I will light the match of smiles. My gloom veil will disappear. I shall behold my soul in the light of my smiles, hidden behind the accumulated darkness of ages. When I find myself, I shall race through all hearts with the torch of my soul-smiles. My heart will smile first, then my eyes and my face. Every body part will shine in the light of smiles. I will run amid the thickets of melancholy hearts and make a bonfire of all sorrows. I am the irresistible fire of smiles. I will fan myself with the breeze of God-joy and blaze my way through the darkness of all minds. My smiles will convey His smiles and whoever meets me will catch a whiff of my divine joy. I will carry fragrant purifying torches of smiles for all hearts. I will help weeping ones to smile, by smiling myself, even when it is difficult. In the cheer of all hearts I hear the echo of Thy bliss. In the friendship of all true hearts I discover Thy friendship. I rejoice as much in the prosperity of my brothers as

Moon in Sagittarius from a Persian Manuscript Today a free-spirited New Moon in Sagittarius augurs many opportunities this month with the promise of solid results thanx to its exact sextile to Saturn in Libra .. this sensation of general improvement will be accelerated when hours later Uranus in Pisces turns direct. The new moon is also quintile Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius, asking us to think outside the box! And once Mars enters Capricorn just two days later on the 7th (date chosen for a mass run on the banks), confirming that action with the goal of achievement may move mountains.. it will activate high tides again when joining the Moon's Nodes after Mercury's passage and present conjunction to Pluto: as if recent civil protests and the revelation of certain leaks were only opening the way for a real stage Event in December! In short, on December 11 when Mercury and Mars' transit trigger the T-Square, it will prefigure precisely the path for a powerful lunar ecl

Children In Halloween Costumes Indulge In Various Pranks social rituals that periodically allow the release of rebellious immature energies and tensions By taking a slow look at the varied aspects of this Full Moon, its mixed messages urge us however towards an inspired and truthful grounding of our passionate self within Reality.

Mathur The spiritual meaning of the Diwali celebration is about the awareness of the inner light , something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, also called the Atman. Diwali is the celebration of this inner light, in particular the knowing of which outshines all darkness .. to rejoice in the Inner Light (Atman) or the underlying reality of all things (Brahman) brings Ananda (joy or peace).

A few things I notice here: - The Sun and Moon stand alone with Vesta, in a bare semi-sextile to Saturn in Libra and a trine to Lilith in Pisces. - Water is largely predominant with 5 bodies in Scorpio : Retrograde Venus which recently conjuncted the Sun is to leave it sho

  29 10 2010, 1:10:25 GMT, 7e15 43n42  Venus goes retrograde little over every 1,5 year thru an inverted motion. If we keep in mind that the markers of our experience during any planetary cycle, are the very degrees of the inferior and superior conjunctions, then each of the movement's phases highlights certain areas of our lives. This year, the Venus cycle occurs in Scorpio, same sign as the recent Venus/Mars. The present conjunction of Venus with the Sun happens at 6° Scorpio: The Gold Rush Tears Men Away From Their Native Soil  and refers to a process of be-coming, of going beyond the familiar .. doesn't each quest originate in Desire? The water triplicity being here its predominant element, the visual figure that stands out in the above Venus cycle chart, is the familiar shape of a pendulum. "When a pendulum reaches the end of its swing, there occurs a brief instant of pure potential energy when the pendulum is motionless, before it begins its swing in th

23 10 2010, 1:36:32UT, 7e15 43n42 This full moon occurs at 30° Aries which corresponds to the symbol: A Duck Pond And Its Brood Each sphere of activity is necessarily limited by its natural environment. In fact our universal consciousness, no matter its span, needs to be localized into concrete actions as Dharma is given substance in the material world. Worthy of note, this is the second of two subsequent full moons in Aries since the last full moon occurred at one degree of Aries: A Woman Just Risen From The Sea; A Seal Is Embracing Her what was implied in the last full moon is reaching a culmination of sorts now. Through the transformative fire and sheer energy giving of Aries, we are reminded that the current times are about new seeds and principles, that we are to move forward into virgin fields of consciousness and that with confidence in our 'destiny' and who we are, we may initiate this new process. This chart looks like a basket made of many symmetrica
