Hawaiian Problem Solving Process that brings Healing ~ Ho'oponopono

"You don't say "Please forgive me" to the divine because the Divine needs to hear it; you say it because you need to hear it"


~ Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len

Zero Limits 


Ho'oponopono awakens us as to how we can erase the negative elements that manifest as problematic situations inside ourselves by utilizing and moving energy. It is a philosophy and a tradition that virtually wipes our slate clean of practices, procedures and endless analytical activities. Huna is the Hawaiian spiritual healing model but Ho'oponopono is the healing and forgiveness methodology and philosophy at the heart of that healing.

First connect to your breath and then go to zero; by cleansing by saying to ourselves I love and support you. Please forgive me for being hard with you. How can I help you to feel safe and help both of us get what we want? The invisible change is incredible. When we say, "I'm sorry," we truly do feel responsible for whatever is in our consciousness at the moment. We no longer separate ourselves from people who disagree and we are more connected to our own sprit. We can express love for each person, asking for forgiveness for any wrongdoing consciously or unconsciously from the past or present of ourselves and our ancestors, to us and our predecessors, all the way back to the beginning of time and microbic life forms. That is a lot to clear so that we can all get back to true relationship in and of Divinity.

We have knee-jerk reactions to conditions in our earth life that cause us to want to unleash our anger but it takes discipline to remind ourselves that shame and blame never change a person or circumstance, we have something better. Things do not need our anger to change; they just need our love. Love can change people and the world. Sending love to a dangerous, ugly, or abusive situation is the only thing we can do if we are looking for drama-free healing and everlasting change. It is not always an easy thing to do, but herein forever lies the answer: love. When Ho'oponopono awakens us we can carry the knowledge that we have the power to heal the world and make a difference. Please, let us always remember: harm no one, love everything, and love everyone, Ho'oponopono travels across time.

We can drive through life hitting speed bumps now and then but with the cleaning we can be amazed what life will bring us next. We must truly value all the situations that come up so we can realize who we are. There will always be stuff coming up in one form or another be it family issues, stress, opinions, or war and we need to accept this is a part of life. Instead of saying why me we need to say without guilt "I am responsible" and simply let go through the usage of the tools and let God take over. It is a tough job but we need faith that smoothness is occurring and that we just cannot grasp the totality of it because there are so many realities that coexist in the same time frame as ours. We should not waste time with the how, why or when, rather just the "do" By doing so, we get out of the way of ourselves. As soon as we step outside of ourselves at all, in any manner, to blame, react, moan, groan and so on, we lose sight of the issue at hand - namely our chance to let go of the problem that is inside of us. If we blame, we become disconnects, like not paying our electric bill and getting cut off. The choice for us is not to get all self-righteous or depressed but simply to continue on without judgment against the most precious gift, the self. When we stop struggling with the internal conflict, the other person involved in our drama can begin to change and become much more open and receptive. Within fifteen minutes we can achieve a solution to our dilemma. If we slip up in the cleaning, we need to brush ourselves off and begin again. The proof will come with the pudding.

Acting as an interventionist, one of the largest obstacles we can eliminate or navigate through is drama. We must face up to our particular way of controlling others. As humans we always feel short of energy and tend to control each other to acquire the energy that flows between people. Getting back to zero or moving from sixty to zero away from the world of addiction to consumption we can become more detached. Life is a habit and we need to acquire the habit of a good life. Reaching the zero state, one hundred percent responsibility, apology and forgiveness are commanding choices that make a powerful impact on our life. Zero is home base. Our clearing work does not solely involve healing the present moment; our clearing work occupied going back through time and through the ages. We clean and step off the edge of another existence as we have known it and we do not fall. Cleaning and emptying the mind is one of the greatest gifts known to mankind.

Universal laws govern our health and happiness. Everything comes from universal laws, and one of those laws is circles. The universe likes speed and it likes circles. Breathing circulates our body's internal energy. The universal laws working within our bodies move internal energy in a circular fashion to create high levels of vibrant health and profoundly raise our consciousness. This is called the microcosmic orbit - breathe in and direct the life-force energy inside bringing the breath down the front of our body into the lower belly region. Next direct the energy up the spine and finally back around to the font. We thus create a microcosmic orbit within our energy-body uplifting our health and consciousness. We need to be reminded of the importance of living in a state of openness, cleansing our internal reactions and going to zero. We need to acknowledge to the universe that we are one hundred percent responsible for our life. Most of the time we try to relate to people in a bidirectional, linear fashion. We talk at each other; we argue, negotiate, point the finger and so on, with this taking place in a horizontal direction. By going to zero; down beneath the conscious layer of the mind, we can let go of our reactions and attachments to what we perceive. We can then begin to rise up toward the super conscious state and eventually tap into Divine awareness. The Divine can carry our clear and loving intention down toward the other person, basically sneaking in the backdoor of their conscious mind, allowing for a pure and unfiltered connection and relating.

The universe is gracious and provides the teacher when the student is ready. Whatever it is that enters our life be in through circumstances, a situation or another person we need to first understand that we have attracted the situation. This is not easy to do, but it is essential to the process. Then we must forgive ourselves, the other person and the energy surrounding the problem. Next we must set new intentions for how we want the situation to be and begin repeating; "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. And I love you. Thank you. This shifts the energy and helps us to move forward. We need to go inward and constantly clean and clear. Focusing on the positive aspects will turn on our passion and inspiration. Inside a light will extend way out beyond us and our physical surroundings. As these changes, revelations and reflections occur we will also become aware of ridding the home environment of clutter and of drinking water before each meal to flush out toxins. We can live in a circular fashion as the universe and our souls do.

Choose Love not Fear and Hate ~ 2012 ~ The Revolution Has Begun 

 

I Love You

"You cannot be denied anything that is perfect, whole, complete, and right for you when you are your Self first. Being your Self first you automatically experience perfection in the way of Divine Thoughts, Words, Deeds, and Actions. Allowing your toxic thoughts to be first, you automatically experience imperfection in the way of disease, confusion, resentment, depression, judgement and poverty."

Silver Birch 

The Coin of Spirit

~ Silver Birch

Wisdom from the Land of Love and Light Beyond


Over the years, many mediums visited the Hannen Swaffer home circle to hear wisdom from Silver Birch. Such was the case when clairaudient Doris Stokes went to meet the circle's guide with her healer husband John and members of her developing circle.

Originally from Grantham, Lincs, Doris became known all over the world, packing famous theatres such as the London Palladium and Sydney Opera House on several occasions. Her books became best-sellers, their combined sales running into millions of copies.

"Sometimes I wonder if I am going the right way, but it seems as if the spirit is leading me to reach people," Doris Stokes told the guide. "I may be doing it wrong; I don't know."

The guide replied: "When the door opens, you must go through it. When the door is closed, do not waste your time.

"Never worry. Worry is a bad counsellor and achieves nothing. It hinders, delays, limits and clogs the atmosphere around you that makes guidance even more difficult to receive."

A young Vietnamese visitor also sought advice from the guide, saying: "I would like to help in my spare time. I don't know what to do. Can you guide me?"

"Materially and spiritually you have travelled a long way," said Silver Birch. "The fact that you are sitting where you are now is evidence that the power of spirit was able to guide you at a time when it seemed no help was possible. When there is the desire to serve, the opportunities will be provided, but do not be in a hurry.

The criticism I have to make of many people in your world is that once they become aware of spiritual realities and that has taken a long time, they are anxious to unfold whatever gifts they possess. The way will be shown.

Life has given you many blows which almost destroyed your faith in human nature. Put not your trust altogether in people in your world. There is always the Great Spirit, the acme of love, wisdom, truth and knowledge.

When there is any doubt, withdraw into the silence where the strident noise of the physical world is stilled and your spirit can find more expression. Then as you attune yourself, you will find there comes an inner peace, tranquillity, repose and resolution that will enable you to be sure that what is best for you will be revealed.

You are in very good hands; you will not be left alone. You will find as the days unfold that they will bring you many opportunities to serve others."

Another visitor asked, "When we pass to the spirit world, do we take any form or shape as we have in the material world?"

"You don't be a ghost, spectre or phantom," Silver Birch replied. "You won't be headless. You won't have your head under your arm. You won't have clanking chains.

You will be a real individual with a body and features which will enable you to be recognised by others. You will have all the senses that will enable you to recognise others. You will have the entire spiritual apparatus which is necessary for you to function in our world.

You will have form; you will have shape; you will have individuality. What you will not have are any of the physical organs, but you will have correspondingly all the spiritual equipment necessary for you to function in our world.

What you must appreciate is that to you matter is solid and tangible, and spirit is shadowy and insubstantial. In our world, spirit is the reality and tangible, and matter is the shadowy and the insubstantial.

You do not have any of the apparatus to make you speak because you do not have to speak. All our communication is done by thought. We send our thoughts to one another ad are able to communicate as a result.

Thought is a reality in our world. Everything that exists is created out of thought. Thus, you can have whatever you deem necessary for as long as you want it.

We have oceans, seas, mountains, lakes, flowers, plants, trees, animals and birds. WE have beauty of the kind that you cannot appreciate until you come to our world. It would be the exception to find in our world anyone evolved to some maturity who would hanker after the world of matter.

Another advantage is that we do not have the problems that confront you. We do not have to pay for houses. All these exist in our world."

Another question was, "Will man ever live a life of peace with his fellows instead of warring?"

Silver Birch replied: "That is very difficult to answer. What you must appreciate is that the Great Spirit endowed man with the element of freewill.

Human beings could have been created as puppets. That freewill provides man with the opportunity of helping what I call the infinite processes of creation.

"Man has the chance to make the world in which he lives a garden of Eden, a paradise, a heaven, just as he can make it a dark, desolate and grim, forbidding world. That is the measure of his choice. You have war, violence, greed, cupidity and selfishness because materialism predominates.

Materialism exists because the vast majority of people in your world do not realise there is a life beyond physical death, despite the teaching of the many religions.

Millions do not accept the fact of an inevitable afterlife which is really tangible, where there is compensation and retribution. They believe that earth is the only life they will ever have.

They argue that if the physical is all, let us have the best it has to offer. This is the cause of war. This leads people to hate, to subjugate, to imprison and even to kill one another.

That is not the whole of the picture. I have paid tribute to the infallibility of the natural law which also places a restriction on the havoc that man can wreak in your world. We are engaged in the mighty task of helping to bring an understanding of spiritual realities wherever we can.

Mediums demonstrate that man is a spiritual being with a spiritual destiny. Man makes or mars his destiny according to the way he conducts himself. The law is unfailing in its sequence of cause and effect, of sowing and reaping.

Whatever good you do, you are the better for it. Whatever selfishness you practise, you are the worse for it. You cannot cheat the natural law. You cannot say on your deathbed that you are sorry for what you have done and automatically obliterate all the effects of the causes you set in motion.

As this truth gradually is accepted by an increasing number of people, so wars will lessen and peace obtain a greater hold in larger areas of your world.

It cannot be done overnight. Play your part. Do the best you can. Help those who come to you. Be kind, tolerant and compassionate. Serve where the opportunities come. That is how you will help.

In answer to another questions, Silver Birch said: "Service is the coin of spirit. There is no religion higher than service. It is noble to serve.

If you cannot serve where you would like, then serve wherever the opportunity comes. I said only a very short while ago that when the door opens, you go through it. Never bang on a closed door; it is a waste of time and energy.

Do not be upset too much by difficulties. Difficulties are challenges. If you had no difficulties, problems, obstacles or hindrances, there would be no opportunities for your latent powers to express themselves.

In moments of crisis, you become aware that you have an inner reservoir of strength on which you can call. Usually, you scratch only the surface of what you can get. There is no difficulty so great that you have not the power with the inner strength you possess and the guidance you can receive to triumph over it.

We have to work in your world and are aware of its limitations. We are aware that the channels we use are humans, sometimes fragile and wayward. But we have to do the best with the material we have.

I always tell people who come here that whenever they have any doubt, they should cast their mind back to the time when they had reached what they thought were the uttermost depths. It was a pit from which they thought they could never be rescued. Yet when it happened to you, the way was shown. It will continue to be shown.

You are expected to do the best you can. You are not perfect. You will not attain perfection in your world or in ours; it is an endless process.

My friends here have heard me say it many times. When you fall down, you can always pick yourself up...

If I am able to encourage you to continue the paths you tread, to serve wherever opportunities afford, then I am richly blessed because it means I am fulfilling the mission on which I am embarked.

"There is much still to be accomplished. Let us rejoice at the opportunities for serve that come our way."

Windmills of Your Mind ~ Noel Harrison 

 

"The updated Ho'oponopono, a process of repentance, forgiveness, and transmutations, is a petition to Love to void and replace toxic energies with its self. Love accomplishes this by flowing through the mind, beginning with the spiritual mind, the superconscious. It then continues its flow through the intellectual mind, the conscious mind, freeing it of thinking energies. Finally, it moves into the emotional mind, the subconscious,voiding thoughts of toxic emotions and filling them with its self."

Skipping

In One Day

Hurry, worry, wonder why?

Watch, perceive and analyse.

Wander, saunter, going by.....

 

Laughter, music of a song.

Dim, deserted, all alone.

Melancholy, grin; what a day!

 

Anger, pounding, hating one.

Stomping, wrestling; all undone......

Indifferent, humble left alone.

 

Meditate, mediate, get it done,

Settle, meddle, time goes on.

Surprise, delight, anticipate.

 

Hurry, worry wonder why?

Watch perceive and analyse.

Wander, saunter, going by......

"I am the "I."

 

Peace Begins with me."

 

"The purpose of life is to be restored back to Love, moment to moment. to fulfill this purpose, the individual must acknowledge that he is 100% responsible for creating his life the way it is. He must come to see that it is his thoughts that create his life the way it is moment to moment. The problems are not people, places, and situations but rather the thoughts of them. He must come to appreciate that there is no such thing as "out there."

Circle Game by Joni Mitchell
Yesterday, a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Then, the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, "When you're older", must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him, "Take your time. It won't be long now.
'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down"

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through.

And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and 'round and 'round
In the circle game
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game
.

Windmills of Your Mind by Noel Harrison
Round like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending on beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow
To a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to a cavern
Where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps revolving
In a half-forgotten dream
Or the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly?
Was it something that I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
Or the fragment of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her hair?

Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind

Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right

You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied

Welcome to the beat of the city street
Walk on now and don't be shy
Take a closer look at the people you meet
And notice the fear in their eyes
watching the time passing by.....

Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better keep them on your side, big brother

Focus your eye on the filthy sky
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's getting kinda tired of waiting
Cause nobody wants to cry
And nobody wants to die....

You better, get in touch with the people, big brother

Sam's Health Report

I have truly turned a corner with my health. It was a roller coaster ride when dealing with a Physician's version of reality. From what I have learned their approach to healing is based on percentages and what I can best describe as a cookbook application to achieve the desired result. If you have this and this then you need that to bring the risk of reoccurrence down to the percentage they like. But admittedly they do not know. It seems the doctors felt I needed it all. I do not mind telling you I was in a state of shock for almost a week. This I did not expect and struggled to believe.

I have felt physically well since surgery. I was brighter, happier and more energised. So I committed myself to the research I felt compelled to do based on my belief there are alternatives. I was not disappointed by what I found. These alternatives do not have studies, statistics or percentages to affirm their effectiveness and will not solicit a person using scare tactics. But there are plenty of testimonials.

Simply put we just have to help our body heal itself by putting live food and the appropriate supplements into it instead of the "blunt force trauma" of the drugs. I had already started following the alternative healing recommendations I had compiled since the middle of February. So when I met with the medical oncologist on February 24th I was feeling even stronger and that was when he knocked me off my pedestal.

With the help of a dear friend and fellow astrologer Diana Stone by March 4th I had some more of the direction that I needed to take my commitment to alternative healing a step further. Then on March 10th I found an ally in Dr. Neil McKinney, Naturopathic Physician and Oncologist here in Victoria and he has helped me balance and modify my supplements and diet to suit my needs. I was throwing what was contained in the books I was referencing at myself instead of the drugs! When I was weighed on March 11th I had gained a kilogram in one week.

As Diana warned me, you have to be strong and vigilant for there are many who will be afraid to support the alternative route. It is a brave and courageous decision to make. The radiation oncologist caught me off guard just this week and knocked me off my pedestal again with "new information" and the threat of total mastectomy. But as I picked myself up and brushed myself off I realised with just a little reading there was nothing new about what she said, just how she said it.

Taking myself back to zero I realised there is no-thing unless you think it. What is in your mind is what is in life. I was tested and found my strength again. This will be a lifelong change I am committing myself to undertaking, no small feat, but I am enjoying living up to my beliefs and the life force they are giving me. Healthier living takes up a large portion of my day but I have experienced the joy of healthy liver chi once again.

There are many friends who have helped me each in their own way and for your loving support I thank you all. I could not have come to this place of resolution without you being beside me every step of the way. I might not phone or email as much as I would like, but I hope you know you are loved.

How To Use the Planetary Alchemist

The Planetary Alchemist is broken down into four sections. First there is the Introduction where I give my thoughts on the month ahead in summary.

Where Are The Planets Now* is an article updated monthly that tracks the planetary occupation of the signs, the direction of the planets and duration.

Calendar of Days with Influences is a journal that outlines the combining planets on the days or periods they occur chronologically. By following this presentation we stay in tune with each sign as the month unfolds.

Each sign has a forecast for the month starting with the sign the Sun is in now and progressing through each sign of the zodiac in succession. Each Sign's Monthly Forecast is a series of koans that follow the chronological order of the journal of days with influences. The Sign Forecasts delineate the positions of the planets for each member of the zodiac and suggest how they will customise specifically in each case. Understanding how the days are influenced generally as well as specifically helps us to make articulate choices and understand others as well as ourselves. It is advisable to read the forecast for the Sun, Moon and Rising or Ascendant sign for your birth.

The Table of Contents is linked to each section for quick access. It is possible to scroll down the whole document. Links are included when something of interest needs to be shared.

 

Greetings!


Welcome to the New Year, the beginning of our seasonal cycle, the Spring Equinox. The winter has been drastic and our warming trend is late. Nevertheless the sun rises and sets every day and we continue on the wheel of life. The Sun and Mars will join Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus in Aries the first sign of the zodiac. We cannot help but see the ominous symbology of chaotic transformation all around us. We truly are beginning a new era as the old collapses. Neptune, Venus and Ceres join Chiron in Pisces, the representative of our collective unconscious and we seek healing for ourselves, our family, friends and all who need it in the world. A return to faith and trust in ourselves brings out the compassion we need for others. We are likely to see Spiritualism as a source for improving our experience on earth. Neptune symbolises our potential to deepen our relationship with the infinite. Transcendentalism will be inspired by a galactic consciousness and even politics can become based on the universe. Hopefully we will form a healthier relationship with our Mother Earth and her forces of regeneration. With good grace we can step forward and help the sick when they do not have the energy, imagination, or clear thought enough to heal themselves. We can all get there together.

 

What has already gone before, since January of this year, was a warm up to the escalation of planetary energies now setting a new stage. We are in the throes of major cycles involving the solar system and its relationship with the universe. Just like the pole of the Earth and land masses, each individual will be shifting and reconfiguring their place and purpose for life. Mercury is going to turn retrograde and stay for a prolonged period of time in Aries, until May 15th. I know I hear a groan from my fellow weary travellers who have experienced much over the past year and a half. But it will be working with Jupiter and Uranus to bring transformation, growth and renewed understanding of our place in the universe. Fear is the enemy, we must steel ourselves and use our higher wisdom to stretch and grow while also eliminating the unnecessary and unhealthy. We will be blessed with some of the most transformational of all planetary transits to help us do what we must do to survive, thrive and stop the extinction of certain species.

 

We can do almost anything we have to do if we believe. First of all we have to believe in ourselves, then a higher power and understand that we create our reality not the God above us. There is endless mercy from our higher powers who watch us make our choices and form our own experience in life by how we relate, respond and create with it. This is why I love Ho'oponopono as it connects us with total responsibility for things we could not possible know. It is the great equalizer that puts everyone at zero point, a fresh square one from which we can and will create new beginnings. Silver Birch explains this all very well. Please enjoy those articles.


Sincerely,

 20TH We struggle with themes of loss and return. Our source of nurturance needs to be an affirmation of our spiritual essence. We seek deeply caring and compassionate people to support our physical dimension. Our ability to be sensitive is encouraged to express itself through artistic, psychic or mystical venues. We are drawn to volunteer where needed or get involved with charitable work. But our sense of the sacred is coloured by our experience, or lack of it, in the formation and severance of emotional ties. Ties with maternal or spiritual figures are explored. We come to terms with misperceptions of our parents if we can get beyond our emotional intensity. Psychic energies or other-worldly influences can cloud our minds too. We are closely connected to those who have passed over into spirit. If there are any karmic issues we will work on them. Sympathy for people who constantly drain us because they lean on us or cannot help themselves is undeserved. They are merely escaping personal responsibility. Alcohol or drugs will lure weak souls into this form of escape. Therapy can be a source of loving and giving.

 

SUN ENTERS ARIES Welcome to Spring! The first sign of the Zodiac was never more important. With Jupiter and Uranus entering this sign our transformational processes are escalated. We have opportunities to change and grow with pioneering style and flare. This makes the Sun in Aries even more enthusiastic and spontaneous. Feeling too indomitable we may override our wisest choice. The impulse to conquer and the urge to initiate are accentuated. Taking on too much will be the burden of those born in Aries. Feeling like life is too much can happen to most of us. Disregarding reality because of blind fury and passion will only thrill us till it wears off. The short-sightedness of this sign is brave if not innocent in its lack of planning. It is necessary to catch ourselves when ploughing headlong into things with a child-like abandon. No one is invincible. People are lacking in sensitivity or emotional supportiveness so they will be blunt, emphatic, candid, self-assertive and goal minded. There is a lot of get-up-and- go in this sign but if we do not focus it can be all got up and went.

 

21ST The desire to create and build a solid and realistic nurturing structure in our life can be blocked by resistance that can comes in the form of withholding or demanding states of others. It is necessary to steer around these harsh obstacles to self-validation. We need to modify other people's affect on our need for approval. It can be as simple as needing someone who is absent or unavailable and realizing this is our pattern. We can be hard on ourselves, judgmentally harsh and self-disciplined in order to be accepted. This is not a loving approach. Those who are irresponsible have never learned how to take on mature responsibilities. For them things are harsh because they have to start doing for themselves. The obligations and constraint we shoulder for our children can cause a degree of tension to develop.

 

CERES ENTERS PISCESWe get the opportunity to connect to and become unified with a reality beyond ourselves. This can be spiritual or experienced in real space and time. It can come through alleviating the suffering of others, empathy or inspiring them with faith and universal love. We can transcend our reality, identify with compassion and touch base with true nurturing qualities. For some Chiron in this sign triggers the need to deal with the imbalances that occurred due to childhood. A lack of reassurance and emotional support can cause some to feel helpless and powerless. We will see this in the victim-martyr roles that will play out. Others will judge themselves by their ability to serve selflessly without expectation of return but this too is a misplacement of self-acceptance. We must accept the state of our soul's evolution and nurture that infancy.

 

22ND DISSEMINATING MOON This may not be the best news phase that we would normally expect. What appear to be disbursed will be some disquieting stories about close family members. Health issues surround females and it is the unexpected and unforeseen that are around males which can be stroke and heart attack. On the lighter side emotional issues are stirred up and purged which can allow for positive growth. We learn a lot from this phase and need to turn our mind to the positive or uplifting. Healing the past is a huge deal in this climate. Old issues, jealousies, avarice, abuse of power and manipulation need to be accounted. The temptation to gossip is self-serving and the adrenaline produced by gossiping can be addictive. We need to keep our energy clean.

 

Our thought forms around relationship will go askew. We can feel one way, even though it is the other because we do not want to realise it. Wherever relationship tends to limit us we will be required to give up something to retain what we value. Do we choose to fulfil ourselves or our relationship's needs? Are we putting too much of ourselves into our relationships? Or is the relationship demanding too much of us. We have the opportunity to figure this out. Wherever there is a disproportionate distribution of our time and attentions we will feel it. It is important to weigh our objectives in the balance and modify where necessary.

 

24TH This disintegration process will be disorienting both out in the world and within our internalisations. No doubt it will be conflictive. We turn things inside out in an overly self-critical manner. Uncertainty makes an expectation seem more daunting. Even those with a powerful sense of their own authority will be humbled. Unrealistic hopes will be disappointed. It is necessary to sort, restructure and learn from our frustrations and mistakes while we reformulate our long range plan. Control is a hot issue to be dissolved or reshaped. The narrows of the judgemental are shallowly perceptible. Past transgressions, apprehension or irrational fear can haunt us deluding our reality with illusion. Things seem worse than they are. Depression and self-doubt divert us from a more positive reconstruction of our understandings about the world.

 

26TH LAST QUARTER MOON A financial crisis can be looming so do not put anything out on a limb. Overt optimism and greed can move people to speculate on a bigger scale than they can maintain long term. There are positive indicators that can be used more moderately. For some this can be a winning combination, but for others it can be their downfall. Spending money recklessly is another danger to avoid. Be practical and wise, keep committed to a budget and if you gamble do so moderately. The purpose of these influences will be to rearrange our value system and flush out any self-development issues around power, greed and competitiveness at any cost.

 

28TH Two forces exactly opposite in nature are playing tug of war. One is contractive and the other expansive. This creates wavering and restlessness. The contractive force is in a phase of restructuring our limitations and responsibilities. A freewheeling expansive energy therefore creates a tipping point. We get stretched while we are trying to shrink. This shamanistic process is clarifying when approached with conscious guidance. We rewrite our agreements, boundaries and responsibilities to create a new self-order. It is the narrow rigidity of our lifestyle that is being deconstructed. The goal is to break away from the weight of the past. Self-confidence will be found with progress.

 

30TH BALSAMIC MOON We are in the hands of the magician so anything is possible as long as we believe. It is possible to step into the unknown, take the uncommon path and bring an end to situations we have long been bridled with. We will be excited and afraid but prompted to act and guided by our senses. Again financial situations are not well founded and can easily fall apart so do not invest blindly. Accidents can occur due to distraction or not being in the moment when operating machinery, equipment or sharp implements. We can cost ourselves a hefty expense if we act without discretion, care and caution. Believing in a false reality can create a shock to our whole being. It is time to assimilate what must be and get on with it.

 

Separation anxiety is particularly acute. Our sense of wounding feels bottomless. We need a deep mystical connection with the Earth to ground ourselves in why we are here and a keen sense about nature in order to heal. Deep in our essence of self mother and child issues are the keys to unlocking self-healing. Nurturing and nourishing are the things we must give ourselves. We are concerned with quality of life, environmental issues, crops and weather. Family situations can become rebellious, eccentric or unorthodox as these tensions occur. Parental tensions are a concern for our children.

 

MERCURY RETROGRADE Mercury retrograde periods are an extremely important period of getting signals that can lead us to our Soul. Take an unusual view, look back with a new perspective, see the patterns, both productive and destructive, and then when it goes direct, we implement our new insights and perspectives into new ways of seeing, communicating, and envisioning. Mercury retrograde reminds us that efficiency is built upon stability, so think of it as a maintenance period, ideal for revisiting old problems that call for action but lay ignored. If communication problems exist, Mercury retrograde will bring them back to our attention. By taking time out to resolve them now we will be better equipped to make smooth progress in the future. This is not to say Mercury retrograde is always a bad thing. Far from it, it is actually an ideal time to do some other things, like: research a new project thoroughly, catch up on paperwork, do the follow-ups on a project already started, hold an information-sharing meeting, and enjoy a wacky sense of humour. It is a good time to re-do anything we did not do right in the first place, or to do something we wanted to do again.

 

There was a new sense of financial prosperity blooming; however this is not the time to buy into this type of investment climate. We need to be very careful with financial dealings. False optimism can cause us to take foolish risks which may further limit our resources. Where we have not learned already, our ideals will be challenged for relevance, realism and applicability. Whatever egocentric lesson we have not already grasped is opportune now. Indiscretions can waste our time and energy. Avoid false fronts, dazzling pronouncements and baffling manipulations. Check the fine print. Grand expectations can anticipate equal disappointment. We are open to charitableness but may not be discreet about who and where. Impractical abstractions are dissolved so the spiritual views and ideals that remain can be actualised.

 

1st MARS ENTERS ARIESAries is always about making a new start and the Mars energy is about using our assertiveness in new ways. This first sign of the zodiac is chock-a-block full of all manner of planetary confluence. It is not a normal or natural year in any respect when you get one of the most disruptive outer planets scouting the way at the beginning of our zodiac. We are in the throes of major cycles involving the solar system and its relationship with the universe. So too will each individual be reconfiguring their place and purpose for life. It is definitely not the time to weep and wail and mourn our lot in life, we have to get on with it. This is a signal that we must deal with forward change.

 

On the more mundane side of our experience with Mars in Aries the power of our will becomes stronger, pushier and inflammatory. An abundance of independent self-assertive physical energy can be intemperate. So we have to be careful as we are quick to anger, ready to do battle, easily competitive or challenged and otherwise restless and fidgety. All of this can cause accident or confrontation. This is pioneering energy and we have a maverick companion by our side so transformational change is imminent unless we squander the advantage on reactionary inflation. If we have wanted to make changes in life we can start making things happen. In other words, through the power of our will, we will affirm to others that we are committing to a course of action! We need to take a stand about what we intend to create in our life and find others that will support and empower us in following through. Now is the time to deepen our level of commitment to implementing our goals. Let Mars in Aries be our ally, supporter and coach!

 

2ND VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUSThis is one of the most transformational of all signs for Vesta to occupy. Within this field of influence she will be constantly searching for information about what must be changed. All rules must eventually be changed as circumstances change and Vesta is the one that will attend to those details. We are connecting to the universal laws here which overrule all else, especially whatever stands in the way. This is a humanitarian, social or political influence for which freedom is of paramount concern. Rebellion against authority figures would be something to expect. The strong detached focus that will be generated can feel alienating as it seems to be unpossessive and noncommittal. We can be focused on friends, on dealing with groups of people or about new and different, even shocking, projects. We can be stimulated by our ideals and devoted to the service of humanity. Often we may have to deny our own desires to attend to new responsibilities. Groups of people can gather to share their ideals.

 

3RD NEW MOON This new lunar month starts out with a conspicuous emphasis on getting in touch with our higher self. The powers of transformation are exponential. We can grow beyond our emotional limitations. Intuitive inclinations are well worth pursuing. We are grounded in our pioneering effort to rekindle our faith and trust in ourselves within the universe. Taking 100% responsibility the Ho'oponopono way we vanquish woundedness by cleansing ourselves of whatever kinetic links there are between the soul and the experience or with others in the circumstances. The wisdom of focused serenity will guide us into the unknown reservoirs of our untapped potentials. There will be the lower vibrational entities that will use this formidable atmosphere for their own gain and acquisition, but such is the world. Heal ourselves and we help to heal others. We must not get embroiled in the more materialistic side of life.

 

This is an explosive combination of energies so we have to display the ultimate flexibility to get through it unscathed. Slow down to a snail's pace and be decidedly deliberate in every thought, word and action. Hold back, watch, look, listen and be cautious where everyone else is concerned. This means on the road, working with sharp instruments, operating equipment or machinery and every other thing that could cause harm if we rush carelessly, erratically, inconsistently and unpredictably to fulfil our cause of the moment. A fast and furious, anger, resentment, irritation, defiance or rebelliousness can put us out of control. This motivation, however, can get us out of our rut. It can help leaders rise to the top. Interesting, unusual and revolutionary activities can manifest as plans change and reactions are sharp. Sudden desires spring forth, order can be upset or we can experience a surprise. Not all of them bad. Transformation can help us break free or breakthrough.

 

4TH NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCESThis planet was discovered in 1846 and will be completing its first solar orbit since it was sighted. It will be celebrating the first birthday of its existence in our awareness. Prior to 1846 it was invisible to us, without identity or influence to our conscious reality. Coinciding with the discovery of Neptune, the birth of Spiritualism in 1848 came with the discovery that we are able to communicate with spirit which gave us our first evidence of life after death. By 1855 two million people were followers of the movement that was later disorganized by fraudulent practitioners. It resurfaced after the First World War as people struggled to deal with the loss of loved ones. We are likely to see Spiritualism as a source for improving our experience on earth. Neptune symbolises our potential to deepen our relationship with the infinite. Transcendentalism will be inspired by galactic consciousness and politics will become based on the universe. A growing contempt for militarism and global chauvinism is expected. With Uranus also entering Aries it will assist the worldwide spread of enlightenment. In the decade to come, the highest creation of the galactic and universal worlds will profoundly enlighten us with joy.

 

Neptune in Pisces is our connection to the "collective unconscious" dreams, imagination, visions, fantasy, romance, illusions, and redemption. It also has a strong connection to "inherited life issues" from parents or ancestors. These are the images and emotions that remain active within our psyche and continue to unconsciously affect us in our everyday life and in our relationships with other people. We evaluate whether our life is simply a shallow masquerade with little meaning as a spiritual being and explore our beliefs about the existence of an "immortal soul". We want to find peace and more meaning in life. Our faith is stimulated and we discover the inadequacy of the rational intellect. Psychic abilities are aroused by this influence and we will be concerned with any means for getting in touch with the deeper dimensions of existence. We must serve our spiritual needs and will encounter the spiritual dimension of life. This is our opportunity to share an essential oneness with all beings.

 

5TH In order to make our relationship to life more fulfilling and complete we will assimilate the adjustments that will intermingle our priorities to reduce self-sacrifice or its opposite, obsession-compulsion. We will peel away the layers of consciousness that have created our terms of relationship. Seeking balance we slip out of circumstances where control and domination affect equality and fairness. We are concerned with "right relationship" but may have to sift and sort through old patterns, memories, fears, anxieties, hopes, expectations and inner resistances to connect to the inner yearning for simple, unconditional, all-embracing love. In search of wholesomeness we need to harmonise our personal needs with others.

 

7TH CRESCENT MOON Enlightenment is an aggregate that builds itself through the unconscious which creates acts of synchronicity. Unusual adventures excite the molecules of our thought processes and stimulate new awareness. Destiny is our rudder and if we trust the journey we will be drawn to growth that will forever change our lives. Not much is going on with the captains of industry as conditions continue to dissolve, mutate and break apart. Many will rebirth themselves into relevancy for our times and humanity's needs. The harder we hold the bit of what must be between our teeth the greater the chance of needing dentures to prove our humility. Following the path of least resistance is a downward funnel. Directing the vortex of our being toward aspiration will help us to be drawn to what we need and what will best empower our future.

 

9TH PLUTO RETROGRADEThis is a very dynamic but subtle force. In the background of our psyche we will ponder some things, questions, decisions, conflicts, and deep urges very slowly because if these considerations were brought to the awakened consciousness we would not be ready to face them. For whatever reason, we are not ready and the pressure to face metamorphic change is easing off to let us sift through subconscious information to find our comfort zone with what needs be. Now the energy submerges into the deep, uncharted territory of our subconscious to produce dreams, visions, meditations and inspirations to link us with the path of destined unfoldment that we resonate with. Subconscious messages, the first conscious thoughts in the morning, dreams and other reliable inner dialogue are the answers that map the way. We have a psychological breather so we can make a plan of action to move forward. We have to gather the fortitude we need to make the choices we do not want to make before we are forced to do what we think we cannot.

 

11TH FIRST QUARTER We will be tested, challenged and required to defend the validity of our position. Too many ideas become a swarm that overwhelms our ability to evaluate and we tend to operate in reactionary mode. Such knee-jerk reactions are confused and misguided which only ends up hurting us in the process. Reaffirming relationship will occur for those who are meant to be together. Healing wounds of childhood or helping children will be effective. Travelling for health reasons will be rejuvenating. We have a tendency to spend a lot of money. It can be retail therapy or simply too much optimism but our spending is more than our pocket book contains. Feeling good about ourselves does not depend upon this. Look deeper into the self and listen to the voice that talks about the highest good.

 

The tendency to over dramatise and exaggerate, become obsessive about the importance of our own inner issues or try to push and control in overdrive needs re-evaluation. The strength and credibility of our assertions, efforts and self-importance will be tested. Ambitions are accentuated which can prove valuable depending on the strength and credibility of our choices. This combination of influences can produce personal transformation or an obsessive-compulsive effort to achieve at whatever means available. The atmosphere is ripe for psychological work, intense cleansing and purging, or personal grooming in or out of therapy. We are out of step with each other so confrontation and conflict is possible. Avoid dangerous places, those with road rage, violent areas or situations where there is a risk of assault.

 

14TH GIBBOUS MOON Influences are building, taking shape, gathering form and coming into existence. Take the time needed to make sure all is assembled without error. We can use our resources to make more resources. Our commitments to rebuilding what was can affect the relationships that pre-exist the plan. People will change, separate, grow apart or find that circumstances break things up. What we are left with are the nurturing, caring and like minded others who are most important. Temptations are our worst vice; selfishness, jealousy, avarice, manipulation, gossip and backstabbing can hurt everyone. If we are carrying a lot of debt this can be a time when a solvency plan comes together and we change our entire way of budgeting our financial outlay. Self-destructive or degenerative thoughts, words or actions must be curtailed in light of creating better daily life.

 

17TH We are so focused on our inner disturbances that we can become fixated on people who understand us. But they may be likewise challenged to confront the inner wounds that underlie their outer behaviour. So we need to avoid projecting expectation onto others because by doing so we seed the creation of our own disappointment. In our woundedness we can assume a posture of superiority. This will be abated by listening with a trained ear. If we do nothing, we can fall into negativity, pessimism or depression. Otherwise we become inspired by a new optimism and through this we are an inspiration to others.

 

FULL MOON Emotional wilfulness threatens to derail and undo all the good that has gone before. Too much criticism or analysis scatters clarity in too many directions so cohesiveness cannot be reached. Some have lost their way and have to find themselves again but that will not be achieved through the rational mind. We need to find our higher self connection so we can ground it to the core of the earth on which we walk. Yes, we are metamorphing and integrating our walk and talk. Positive relationships will help us to sense and feel our way, inching along uncharted territory moving farther and farther away from what would be our easy way out. Commitment to our highest good is not taken lightly by the universe. It does not matter what else we are doing with our life, the integrity of our inner self must be re-established.

 

18TH We are working on ourselves internally; analysing life structure and armour. This is a critical point in that journey. Wherever we are channelling our concentration and attention things can get critical. Turning ourselves inside out makes us touchy, protective and aggressive. We duel with rules and the limitations around us. But only if our direction is right for us will we be looking at the final leg of completion. Lessons of humility come when our self-authority meets with defeat as ambitions collapse. Delays help us to redo our plan of action so our efforts will be more constructive. Other people can cause us to feel limited by inhibition and therefore feeling inadequate and indecisive. For some this influence can cause irritation and annoyance if not ego conflict. Those who use this power to target other people's psychological weak spots may be venting their anger and grievance. Whatever we are doing we must take 100% responsibility, accept temporary limitation and learn how to assert a stable self-authority with superiors.




Aries Forecast

Aries

Be careful with illusion, fear and misunderstanding for you will have much on your mind. There are issues surrounding residence or parents. SUN ENTERS ARIES Happy Birth Days for those born in Aries! Be real, be kind and come to terms with your misperceptions. Identify your psychic vampires, people who drain you, and the psychological issues that cause you to self-degenerate and self-destruct. Be real about investment, indebtedness and legacy. Removing the blocks in communication and habitual thinking will remove the obstacles to progress. CERES ENTERS PISCES This is like food for the soul, nourishment and comfort as it compels your automatic pilot toward wholesomeness. Disproportionate involvement in other people's lives takes away from your ability to invest in your own but you are putting yourself there because you do not realise what you want. Disintegration is all around you and within you. You will fare better the more you work on grounding yourself. Disintegration of your old structures and foundational beliefs will put you in a quandary or other state of limbo. You are growing but it feels like you are only shrinking because of the control your thoughts have over your perspective. The anxiety of separation bubbles beneath the surface of your conscious thoughts. Parents may be of concern. Lessons about the ego can make you prone to false optimism and deluded factual analysis. MARS ENTERS ARIES Big changes occur with what work you do or how you do it and it has much to do with self-expression. Put health as priority number one nonetheless. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS Income and asset base are most likely to benefit from this intense transformational focus which employs other great agents of change. Kaboom! An emotional roller coaster ride will have you off-kilter unless you work on your grounding and do not exaggerate the facts. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES The barriers to free-thought will be dissolved and hard core definitions will become impressionistic as you mutate by dissolving the encrustations and aggregations of your mind. Be inspired. PLUTO RETROGRADE The morphic resonance that is calling you to another way in life will work with your rational mind so it can see opportunities for transformational progress. Drama is enticing, it gets the adrenaline going and pumps up the adrenals which make you feel alive but where does it take you? Try not to over exaggerate the flourish. Other people are not the answer to your challenge, inner wounds and inner disturbances they only lead to disappointment. Trust in yourself. You will know if you are getting things right or are trying to go down the wrong path. Perhaps parts of your plan need inspiration.


 

Taurus Forecast

Taurus

It is very possible you will realise what actually nurtures your spirit and which friends are a healthy influence for you. SUN ENTERS ARIES Slipping into the deepest subconscious self and stirring things up makes this a stabilizing and growth oriented period of self-realisation. Removing the blocks within family dynamics by assuming self-validation will modify the affect others have on you. CERES ENTERS PISCES Cleansing the psyche means eliminating old misperceptions, unrealistic projections of roles and expectation by stripping yourself down to just you in the womb of the universe. You are growing beyond the definition of relating that has always governed your identity. Taking a leap of faith from what is expected to what you believe in will take courage as the pre-existing judgemental illusion has strong hooks within your nature. Only you can appreciate the exponential growth offering that exists within your higher self and it need not be approved of or accepted by the everyday world. Issues surrounding family, mother, parents would create tension if you were not so aware of the differences between your value systems and what helps you to heal. Be sure this is not a false or foolish posturing for indiscretion can be a waste of your time if you get pulled into their vortex. MARS ENTERS ARIES A bee in a hornet's nest of the brain activates all your centres and senses, brings thoughts to mind you would never have entertained and opens the portholes of your awareness. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS Use your mind as a transformational and healing agent; the normal ten percent will not be good enough, stretch your abilities to form rational as well as inspired thoughts. Good luck with work, finding a job, building a business or career comes because you have earned it through your transformational work. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES Intuitive resources can be developed as you are receptive to their refined transmission. Accounting for human nature and knowing more than you want to know you are developing greater but wiser compassion. PLUTO RETROGRADE With this karmic assistant you can slip away from old patterns, family restrictions, habitual grooves and move more toward being one with yourself. From there it is a healthy merge to understanding collective oneness. Drama comes to you through your work, business or career and it seems never-ending until you offer others a healthier and more positive perspective. If you dwell on the disappointing lack of support you are getting from others you will lead yourself to despair and woundedness. Developing a newfound sense of self-authority is tottering in the balance of self-conscious inhibition. Keep going, fixing as you go.

Gemini Forecast

Gemini

A positive force keeps you healthy in body and spirit. Relationships that have been off-track can find firm footing. Kindness and nurturing is shared. SUN ENTERS ARIES You might get caught in a bind this month; not through lack of trying but because some people you are counting on do not perform. Work can have you strapped to curious unpredictable conditions. Removing the blocks you create through your critical analysis will improve relations and empower progress. CERES ENTERS PISCES You need to take care of yourself so you can take better care of those you love and this includes making a supportive living. It is possible for you to be caught up in your projections, what you think you see in others or what you think you are doing yourself which means you do not see things realistically. The old falls away from you with ease, you can eliminate the ball and chain that has dragged you back and move steadily forward into uncharted terrain. It is easy to give up incidentals you have clung to in the past as there is a cornucopia of blessings coming your way. The dysfunction of family, parents or children can pull you into their drama and thereby suspend objective thought by a weakness of least resistance. Grand expectations can be met with disappointment if your charitableness is indiscreet or false optimism about financial prosperity is egocentric. MARS ENTERS ARIES Just as everything gets going well you must be careful of who is working against you in the background. Be true to yourself and follow your own path. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS Freedom from the blanketing of what has confined you is an awakening to the reality that has been evolving with each action, thought and spoken word. Try not to slip back into old habits or follow the path of least resistance that appears more gratifying because there is much to be expected from these times of change. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES You can be sideswiped by what you do not know or fail to comprehend as the genius of others. Best not to be lazy in communication for misunderstandings can arise. PLUTO RETROGRADE Everything can be held in abeyance if your health is not vibrantly keeping you alive. This thought provoking process will work on your subconscious to help you want to change what you must. Other people's drama twists your understandings and manipulates you to do their bidding. If your hopes and wishes are attached to the performance and support of other people, your optimism will disappoint you. Inspire others to be more than they are. Your appearance of self-authority has a soft inner core of indecisiveness. This is your work in progress.


Cancer Forecast

Cancer

Confusion surrounds relationship and self-image. An experience of loss will ultimately strengthen you. Premonition or psychic understanding can be unnerving. SUN ENTERS ARIES Your ideals are challenged so you can see where they are not a wholesome or valuable contribution to your expectations. Removing residual prejudice, bias, self-degenerative attitudes and other toxic suspicion-based thought forms and perceptions will improve your relationship with the world and the people in it. CERES ENTERS PISCES Dissolving the boundaries between your values and those of others will nurture the richness of life. Good efforts earn good rewards. Friends will do the unexpected, even the ones you know and get along with well, so you will come to realise how they are not what you think of them. By now the old pathways and synapses of your brain have been well detailed and spelled out for you to grasp so you can make those hard adjustments accepting the unknown and trusting yourself. You will have to be inspired because your rational mind can put stumbling blocks in front of beneficial potentials. Anxiety is trying to teach you something, it has to do with family, parents, children and the lack in your individuality that the potential for separation can trigger. Loosen the tight grip you have around control because it is based on fear, appearances and manipulation to maintain expectation or avoid disappointment. MARS ENTERS ARIES Major force makes you very reactionary and prone to inflating the facts and figures tipping the scale towards your preference. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS There is a choice; you feel queer and out of sorts because you choose to change or supercharge the tension that exists because you will not. You will be exposed to shock and awe in a gentle nonetheless exponential rapid fire succession that will inspire your conscious thoughts. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES Living too tightly controlled by tradition and old standard you might fail to understand the differences other people are permitted to enjoy. Use creative inspiration wisely, it can have influence where you most need it. PLUTO RETROGRADE What you see in others will be a mirror reflection of what is deeply buried inside of you. The roots of the forces in your life come from the seeds within you. Your internal dialogue is over-dramatising the facts letting your emotions rule your reason. This is an opportunity to learn and grow not wallow in self-pity. Other people are a disappointment but you are missing the point if you are not the one learning from it. What is it in you that bring this into your life? There are corners to get backed into if you are at war or in a power struggle with another or others. In personal circumstances it all comes down to differences in value and lifestyle. In business it is over profits.


Leo Forecast

Leo

Misperception of your parents and the emotional intensity that surrounds anything that touches those relationships will bring a struggle that hopes to achieve victory over karmic issues. SUN ENTERS ARIES You need to reconsider your actions because you are operating on a rebound to a memory. What should be a positive trend can be corrupted by this. Suspicion blocks your expansion and the resultant desire to manipulate the forces of life toward your own ends so set it free. CERES ENTERS PISCES Whatever you are gripping between your teeth and will not let go of will cut you off from your source of nurturance. You long for soul-ship with others and gravitate toward those you perceive to be similar to you and this is where your realisations will come from. Changing the molecules of your being means growing beyond unrealistic hopes and disappointments and by accepting what you have been unable to accept you will make new soul contracts that will fulfil you. Elimination is rapid. Growth comes easy. You are working on the inside and outside, spiritual and physical self. Deeply embedded issues involving mother, childhood or children and/or separated family situations have created rebellious, eccentric or unorthodox tensions which you dramatise as anxiety. MARS ENTERS ARIES Abundant energy fills you up and engages your willpower. This causes you to want to take control or manage others who may not be ready to volunteer. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS A strong, critical and analytical focus detaches from others which will alienate the very people you wish to impress. Work with the universe to be inspired. It can really fire you up to make things happen centred on common good. Travel opportunities can present themselves suddenly. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES If you are not following your true spiritual path a certain degree of tension will arise within to get you to focus on well being in this way. Aroused psychic receptivity can be disturbing at first until you adjust to being more deeply in touch. PLUTO RETROGRADE The use of power creates its own dilemmas. Understanding the motivation behind seeking power is the investigation destined to take place now. Guilt can be a powerful motivator. It is easier to act out your drama than it is to see how you are creating your own karma. Your criticism of others for disappointing you or letting you down and the woundedness resulting from that is your own creation. Think differently. If your self-authority has ambitiously solicited the financing needed, which in some cases will be through sponsorship, the hard work will pay off.


Virgo Forecast

Virgo

It is through loss that you will grow, and through the return to previous circumstances that you will come to terms with your pain. There is some displaced guilt in this process and a source of knowing that is untouchable to others. SUN ENTERS ARIES Now is an opportunity to dump that vast reservoir of inappropriate blame and shame. You need to make a commitment to yourself to clean out the psychological debris. The conditional agreements and invisible contracts of your daily life are what block you from experiencing the freedom of spirit that would revive. CERES ENTERS PISCES This planet asks you to make a pact with yourself to take care of you like you do all others which will help you to be better for everyone. You will do battle with ghosts of perception and come to realise that the high qualities you think you see in others are your own. The blocks and obstacles that have been insurmountable in the past will disintegrate in their own time and plan but you will begin to witness this transformative process now. There are positive financial prospects. It is recommended that you fashion all contracts to your advantage rather than give yourself away to the benefit of others. Your insecurities, guilt and other such tension will be your area of growth. Certain anxieties are surfacing within your significant relationships for the purpose of healing and nourishing yourself and improving the quality of your life. Deeply buried in the subconscious there are remnants of agreements you have unconsciously formed around expectation and charitableness but the impractical abstractions of these treaties can be dissolved so you can become more actualised. MARS ENTERS ARIES Be careful what compulsions, instincts and reactions you operate with as you can be wound up tightly and easily triggered. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS Make a commitment to yourself to get out from behind the scenes so you can interact with people as it is meant to be which will bring messages of future fate you need to hear. Contractual agreements must not be broken to allow others their unforeseen contingencies. Create codicil arrangements to cover ever-evolving terms. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES This is the beginning of your deeper connection to the collective unconscious, your psychic receptivity and the development of your spiritual path. PLUTO RETROGRADE With the pressure taken off and no longer feeling pushed you will accelerate with your metamorphic awakening. Enjoy the journey; be aware of morning messages, dreams and other reliable inner dialogue. You understand the part that karma plays in your life but it is sometimes hard to act on your awareness all the time because of tension and stress. High expectations of other people, especially friends and associates will lead you down the garden path of self undoing. You can remain in old circumstances upholding agreements to them while breathing fresh life into their stale groove.


Libra Forecast

Libra

The idea of parenting factors in largely with a sense of loss and displacement. Every unresolved issue will return to be accounted for if it is not cleansed and altered by rearranging the culpability you bear. You are being hard on yourself. SUN ENTERS ARIES Objectivity can alter your state, and detachment can help you to see the bigger picture. Otherwise you will drag yourself through the judgement and punishment of those who have too much of it. Blocks in your life appear to be things left undone, unattended or left to chance that you need to take responsibility for. CERES ENTERS PISCES Tough love can be metered out toward one's self as much as it can be wise counsel for our children and this is the case for you now. Take self-criticism in a nurturing way. Thought forms around your relationship to money, finances and material assets appear as unbalanced happenstance that costs too much. The disintegration process is in your backyard and dragging you kicking and screaming toward overcoming your uncertainty, unrealistic attitudes and the resolution of your frustrations and mistakes. Again you are in the limelight with the letting go that is necessary to stretch into all that can fill you back up with positive prospective. It is queer what is required to unblock life. Tension and anxiety surround issues where you feel disconnected or separated from your true self perhaps due to significant others. Being too optimistic and believing in an illusion makes you prone to being misguided by the dazzling and baffling. MARS ENTERS ARIES You need objectivity, detachment, insight and inspiration to use this energy wisely and in your best interests otherwise you might squander your vitality. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS This is a time when you are definitely working on the layers of self, digging deep into your psyche to transform the programs that keep you noncommittal. High strung energies should break up the stalemate you have yourself in. Objectively you must think reason and communicate to get yourself moving forward. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES Fear can be all pervading if your beliefs, faith and trust in spiritual beliefs are undeveloped. The connection to the collective unconscious can work against you in this state. Turn instead toward a relationship with the deeper dimensions of existence. PLUTO RETROGRADE No doubt, this is a critical turning point, take it or not, but it is there for you to map the way out of your obstacles, limitations and to get out of your own way. Drama can put you on a roller coaster ride, spinning out of control untill you put on the brakes. Seeing the highest and best in others and magnifying what you can expect from them out of proportion ends up in grief, disappointment and woundedness. Be more realistic. Stand up for yourself. Develop your self-authority, ambition and a constructive approach that gets things done by paying attention. Why volunteer for defeat?


Scorpio Forecast

Scorpio

The emphasis on unhealthy attitude that filters through most every circumstance can shred your valid needs and wishes. Have compassion for yourself first and be charitable towards that cause. SUN ENTERS ARIES The unexpected, surprising or shocking will be the purging agent for old memories and emotional attachments that have outlived their shelf life. Control and old standard blocks you from being inspired and freeing your memories. CERES ENTERS PISCES Be positive and proactive about your health as it concerns your responsibilities and the hours you work or the energies you put out. How much you extend yourself and how much you take care of yourself is disproportionately distributed. Disintegration of subconscious rigidity is inevitable if you are to proceed to the next dimensional shift and you will if you do not put the bit of fear firmly between your teeth instead trudge on! Recreate your family predisposition to suit the healthier philosophy you wish to be and smooth out the kinks and contortions of your need to control. Overcome the anxiety that hoping and wishing for more from people who are supposed to love you causes because it will confine you unnecessarily. Falsehood, indiscretion, foolish risk, false optimism and other misperception is based on disappointed expectation. They are unhealthy distractions. MARS ENTERS ARIES If you experience the impulse to move away from the influence of others to follow your own path then it is positive to pursue that inspiration. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS Eureka! There can be a breakthrough, a sudden and spontaneous acquisition of awareness that opens up the portholes of your mind. Travel is for health or spirit. Something has to break up the stagnant family, parental, domestic or other genetic relations. If you have dug yourself into a hole of redundancy; live and learn otherwise get over it. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES Do not buy into fear, paranoia and other fatalistic beliefs and attitudes that are escalating within the collective unconscious, the consciousness we share with all humanity. Healthy psychology and a strong spiritual faith will over-ride such conditions. PLUTO RETROGRADE Being released from the grip of this planet is a relief for you. As the pressure eases off you begin to look inside and outside yourself for inspiration. Healthy alternatives and possibilities present themselves. You house within yourself the components of drama and angst. No one else might know how hard you are working on healing these habitual tendencies. You might not feel like you are making progress but keep on going, you are. Seeking compassion from other people because you need it to heal your self-worth will cause you to crash and burn in the criticism of your disappointed expectations. There is no collapse for you, it is completion and redemption.


Sagittarius Forecast

Sagittarius

It is too easy to believe illusion and fantasy and then follow it as if it were your true path. You are seeking to regain what you imagine you had lost. There is a gateway opening but it is the one you are not paying attention to. SUN ENTERS ARIES Take alternate routes to wherever you are going to get used to the idea that you need to carve new pathways instead of seeking to redeem the old. It is very interesting that the planets suggest you are your own blockage for this is on the subconscious as well as the conscious or physical levels. CERES ENTERS PISCES You need to challenge yourself to decide how you wish to nurture your relationships. How you nurture is how you will be nurtured. To move forward you have to give something up; a longstanding basis of life. Disintegration of what brings you emotional suffering is what is needed for you to dispel the unrealistic disappointments you harbour. These keep you from the ultimate achievement of self-realisation that brings success. There will be pathways opening up in front of you and it is up to you whether or not you follow your soul's journey but it is quite likely your curiosity will draw you into the right things. You are meant to find yourself through separation from the very people you love and cling to even though what is good for you hurts you so much it makes you anxious. Holding on and digging deeper into familiar situations is neither realistic nor applicable; it only creates more disappointment due to your expectation. MARS ENTERS ARIES Time to walk your talk, find a source of revenue and stop depending on the resources or time of others as they need all they have. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS You are guided, as if by some unseen hand, toward the direction that will bring purpose that is meant to be. The universe is calling! A creative approach to whatever you want to achieve; that is not following old procedure or standard; will bring you to a destined renaissance. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES This is the nudge you needed to get yourself onto the path of life that is truly meant for you. Inherited life issues from parents or ancestors should not be the ball and chain that hold you back. This is the time to dissolve your cognitive connections to such notions. PLUTO RETROGRADE Important life changing subconscious messages come through dreams, the first thoughts you have in the morning, inner dialogue as well as what you serendipitously overhear or happen to read. Wherever you go it seems you have to face someone else's drama so perhaps there is something for you to learn through this. Dreams, hopes and wishes are not based on realism when they are projected onto what you want other people to fulfil. The work and effort you have been putting into your goals will pay off so you can move forward easily.


Capricorn Forecast

Capricorn

Psychic sensitivity can be a scary experience when you are not prepared to mitigate what you do not want to know. It is not your place to share the knowledge; it is only for you to become more aware of what is happening. SUN ENTERS ARIES You have and will develop a new view on life, one that sees beyond the surface appearance of most people, circumstances and things. You will want to get at the raw reality. It may be the spirit of competition, or the desire to be financially self-sufficient, but in some way these things are the blocks you need to dissolve so you can merge with a more meaningful life. CERES ENTERS PISCES When what you give yourself as a treat is not good for you, it is not a treat and it will not do you any good. A major force renovates the foundations of your personal makeover. It may make work more fun. Now you may miss this cycle of disintegration; let it pass by without tuning into what it might mean for you personally, although you can see the process going on in others. How can happy get any happier you ask? Well when you shed some incidentals you open yourself up to more of what truly resonates with you. Your inspirations can then be realised. Separation from your children or grandchildren, family, parents or relatives will point out more ways you can nurture and nourish you. Do not be blind to financial realities and get caught up in a scheme that promises prosperity. MARS ENTERS ARIES Your mind will be challenged and you enjoy the game of it. Powerful strategies come from a highly focused and intelligent mind. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS Such a compelling array of things to focus on has you whreeling with ambitious desire to attend to every single thing in turn. Try as you might, there are some details you are not getting right. This is not in any way a smudge on your reputation; it is a reminder to keep updating your system in rapidly changing times. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES The world of matter is such an empowering place for your sign. But at this time you make connections with your immortal soul and want to find more peace and meaning in life. PLUTO RETROGRADE Competitiveness eases off. The demands on you can remain those that are self-imposed. This gives you a chance to make some very important improvements. Drama can be fun, entertaining and in some cases we can learn a lot from something that is dramatised. This is likely to happen for you. The false impressions that other people give in certain circumstances are too flimsy to base your optimism on them. Ego conflict will make things touchy, aggressive or critical and cause everyone to be more protective. The exact opposite is true with those who are empowered.


Aquarius Forecast

Aquarius

Deep emotional themes of loss will return to your conscious awareness dragging your senses through the experiences that are to blame for your misperceptions. SUN ENTERS ARIES Relationship is first and foremost on your agenda, all of them, as you come to terms with each one's attributes and dysfunctions. Just remember everyone has faults and failings, this is what reincarnation is for. Your attitude toward money, material objects or the assets of others will hold you back from acquiring more of the same. CERES ENTERS PISCES You have been learning how to take care of yourself and now you must apply it to your responsibilities. What you see in others is a projection of what you think within yourself; it is your story and your illusion. Self-destructive or degenerative relations with yourself and life crumble to dust easily with little effort and much inspiration. Other people are mirrors of your unconscious self and you can recognise this easily at this time which helps you to improve yourself and understand others. It is difficult to let what you have always believed dissolve in the light of greater truth. The separation comes with anxiety. Being too expectant, optimistic, idealistic or egocentric can lead you into risk, irrelevance, indiscretion and disappointment. MARS ENTERS ARIES You can be pulled kicking and screaming in a direction you had no intention to follow and experience some misguided misgivings about what was your habitual plan. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS Brilliant! This is an influence that you will really enjoy. It not only gives you focused devotion but brings whatever transformational circumstances are most important. Do not be critical of others because of the changes that happen to expected plans. Try to see that you do not know, or are confused, otherwise entertaining a misperception. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES The spiritual and psychic presence that has been with you for so long has now left your sign. This in some way is more clarifying as you get to use the abilities that were aroused by its attendance to move forward to serve your spiritual needs. PLUTO RETROGRADE The dynamic of force eases off which leaves you free to make up your own decision and plan. This allows you to make choices that might have agreed with the pressure to do what you were being asked even though that has subsided. Now at least it will be your own idea. Internal drama will cause you to exaggerate and obsess over your ambitions. Personal strength attempts to make things right by confronting others over the conflicts you have inside. The people you are depending upon are chameleons, changing shape and design to suit the circumstances but not being able to hold that shape when you need it most. There is a prediction of growth and abundance if not prosperity in an optimistic outlook, diligent focus and higher wisdom.


Pisces Forecast

Pisces

Perceptions are awash with influences that focus on loss and the desire for return. You can lose yourself in these confusions or an escape of your choice. SUN ENTERS ARIES This influx can make your life more exciting, thrilling or scary depending on what perspective you choose to adorn yourself with. Relationships make your life active. The blocks on your path are mind messages and they look like river rocks at the mouth of a river opening to the sea; beautiful and plentiful but a difficult foot path on which to make much progress. CERES ENTERS PISCES Seek wholeness and notice the ways that you limit yourself from getting the nurturance you need. Anger can surface to make you aware that people are not what you have envisioned them to be and show you how to change life by changing yourself. It is up to you. No one else can do it for you. Let go, be humbled, forget conflict, stop fuelling unrealistic disappointments that are self-destructive and trust the unknown potential that comes of facing fear. You want to go for the brass ring but may be neglecting the rights of passage that must be taken. Overt criticism of others covers your tracks. Separating from the self you have always been is a nerve-wracking experience and can bring anxiety if you do not trust that the time for his has come. You have to stop hurting yourself. It is possible to drown out the consciousness expansion that is meant to take place. You do this with reinforcing pronouncements and egocentric beliefs that are only actualised because they are in your thoughts. MARS ENTERS ARIES Settling down to a dull roar you actually get more out of your efforts and actions than you have been experiencing of late. Sure you have been busy but that is different to accomplishing. VESTA ENTERS AQUARIUS This can be a very spiritual influence whether you are looking or have found your outlet of faith and devotion. Clarity of mind enhances your effectiveness and ability to act on your own behalf. Well skittle-e-doo for you! There is a return on your investment or an increase in your revenues and the ability to add to your nest egg. These benefits can experience some diversion from acquisition appreciation due to misunderstandings and hurt feelings with others. NEPTUNE ENTERS PISCES Welcome home is what you need to say. This co-ruler of your sign will offer you redemption. Ties to inherited life issues can be cut and your life can take on a rosy glow of great spiritual meaning. You will truly come to understand that human beings and spirits passed on before us share an essential oneness. PLUTO RETROGRADE Now that the pressure is off you no longer have to sit on the fence. You are free to follow your own values and create thoughts that please you rather than conform to expectation. There is much weariness for you when you are with others as they keep playing out their dysfunctions and dramas taking you places you do not want to go. The "I" gets in the way of the "we". From your perspective other people will not live up to their highest good. It would appear that these judgements are not yours to make. There is a wobble in your goals and aspirations most likely due to a sideways approach. Straighten outworn methodology.
