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

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

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

Oil painting on wood - of Hades abducting Persephone. (18th c.) Persephone used to live far away from the other deities, a goddess within Nature herself before the days of planting seeds and nurturing plants. In the Olympian telling, the gods Hermes and Apollo had wooed Persephone; but Demeter rejected all their gifts and hid her daughter away from the company of the Olympian deities. The story of her abduction by Hades against her will, is traditionally refer red to as the Rape of Persephone. It is mentioned briefly in Hesiod's Theogony, and told in considerable detail in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Zeus, it is said, permitted Hades, who was in love with the beautiful Persephone, to carry her off as her mother Demeter was not likely to allow her daughter to go down to Hades. Persephone was gathering flowers with the Oceanids along with Artemis and Athena—the Homeric Hymn says—in a field when Hades came to abduct her, bursting through a cleft in the earth. Deme

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

liens vers quelques conférences de Alexander Ruperti (1913-1998) - français Alexander Ruperti est né le 23 mai 1913 à 21.11.16 TU à Stuttgart. De père russe et de mère autrichienne, ayant passé sa toute petite enfance en Sibérie, son enfance et sa jeunesse en Angleterre, puis sa vie adulte en Suisse, Alexander Ruperti se sentait plus «citoyen du monde» qu’appartenant à une nation particulière. Son intérêt pour l’homme en tant qu’individu prit ses racines dans ces nationalités multiples et s’est développé à travers une recherche constante d’explications philosophiques, religieuses, ésotériques, psychologiques et médicales de l’homme. Ses voies principales étaient l’ostéopathie et l’astrologie à travers lesquelles il enseignait un «art de vivre», une philosophie qui réponde aux besoins de l’homme actuel dans la période de transition que traverse l’humanité aujourd’hui. Dans cette voie, il a été, pendant plus de quarante ans, le porte-parole en Europe de son ami e

They come into being and possess nothing. They fulfil their functions and make no claim. When merit has been achieved, do not take it to yourself; for if you do not take it to yourself, it shall never be taken from you. Follow diligently the Way in your own heart, but make no display of it to the world. Keep behind, and you shall be put in front; keep out, and you shall be kept in. Goodness strives not, and therefore it is not rebuked. He that humbles himself shall be preserved entire. He that bends shall be made straight. He that is empty shall be filled. He that is worn out shall be renewed. He who has little shall succeed. He who has much shall go astray. Therefore the Sa
