2011~A New Cycle Begins

Elizabeth — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 06:59:22 +0000

Many have an awareness that the times in which we live are different and somehow significant, even special and unique. Great emphasis has been placed on 2012, for one, but whether you place much credence in that or not, there are many other indicators that this is a turning point for humanity. Certainly it is true economically, politically, culturally and in regards to our institutions of education, government and religion.

Trying to make any sense of it and then to try to figure out “what to do about it” can be quite bewildering and even overwhelming.

Two Critical Questions
If you are on a path of consciousness or a Spiritual path of some kind, then you may be asking yourself two very important questions these days:

From a practical viewpoint you wonder how you are to thrive, or just survive, in the times we live. This may be financially, regarding your job or work situation or personal relationships and/or family life.

From a spiritual viewpoint you may ask something along the lines of: Why am I here now? What is my part to play at this critical juncture? How can I be of service?

And very importantly, how do these two dynamics intersect in my life? Where do they merge?

One of the key shifts available in 2011 is this: to get the order of these two right. Meaning, to see that in order to thrive in a practical sense, you have to make it your priority to better understand the relationship between your spiritual path and your life path.

In fact, the merging of these two is where the alchemy occurs and magic happens.

Where To Start?
A good place to start is this:

1. Recognize that you do have a part to play at this critical time on planet Earth, and then claim it.

2. To do this you must raise your vibration, up your game, step up to the plate and own your significance.

You signed up to being here now. And you consented to doing something, to being a vehicle for a higher purpose in some way or another.

Wassily Kandinsky

Does it need to be grandiose and involve a huge effort? Not necessarily. What it needs to be is authentically yours. For doing so is what will give you every tool, every resource and all the support you need to carry out your Soul Purpose, or what I often call “Your Task”.

Keep in mind that your task may not be an “out in the world thing” and could be more of an inner experience. Opening to the Light on the inner brings Light to all that are near and can have a significant impact in raising the vibration on the planet.

And this is the year, I feel, many will experience a shift from seeking or trying to do this to actually manifesting it. But again, getting clear about the order of this is a must.

The Astrological Cycles at Play
One of the great gifts of Astrology is that we can see the bigger cycles at play. And this year, a new cycle is about to begin.

Uranus

For seven years, Uranus has been in the sign of Pisces. All astrological influences have an agenda and Uranus in Pisces, during this last seven years, was clear: open a channel from our higher mind to our lower mind. This was so we increased our capacity to grasp new knowledge and insights.

The impact of this influence has, over time, opened our minds and hearts to new wisdom and understandings. Most of you have also likely experienced an increase in your own intuition and inner knowing during these years. Hopefully you have also come to trust it more, even rely on it.

During these 7 years, many changed how they saw things and this could have created a kind of chaos as the old way of perceiving didn’t seem to fit aspects of the new insights and higher knowledge now available. The old patterns stubbornly held their position in our psyche, often resisting this new information. But over time, and with the help of other astrological influences during this past few years, the beliefs and ways of perceiving your life have likely changed.

The old patterns and precepts served their purpose and now don’t seem to fit. This can be uncomfortable as going back isn’t even possible anymore. This may be to a career path, how we support ourselves or relationships to our family, friends or partners. It can feel as though the path has actually dissolved when we look back.

I have heard many say such things . . . that significant aspects of their life now seem “old, out dated and just no longer an option.” Yet it would seem that a kind of limbo set in for many in 2010, because the “next steps” or new path were not really all that clear. Or perhaps it was clear but just not happening for one reason or another.

On To 2011 and The New Cycle
Yes, I feel we are entering a New Cycle. The planetary energies, patterns and shifts point in this direction.

Yet to the degree that we are in sync with the energies, is the degree we will be able to truly avail ourselves to the magic pulsing through them.

In other words, to embrace this New Cycle, we must align ourselves through exerting our personal will, in a conscious way that embraces and stabilizes the natural rhythms of life, as these are the “carriers” of the current of the creative/creator, or the Pulse of Life itself.

“Rhythm is the carrier of Life.”
~Rudolph Steiner

There are lots of ways to get in sync with this natural flow of life, and some are quite simple to do, such as:

Breathing exercises.
Through movement: such as dancing, walking, yoga, tai chi, etc.
Normalizing your daily patterns, such as eating and sleeping

What is most important is to be consistent. This is what will increase your capacity to be able to bring this Universal Energy into your life.

Yet if you are out of sync in other, fundamental ways, these may not be enough.

Another, effective way is this: to align your life, at least to some degree, to the cycles of the Heavens, using Astrology as your map to do so. I simply know of no other body of knowledge that better shows us how to get in sync with the natural order of things than Astrology.

This is what Astro Currents Monthly, my new offering, is all about: finding out how to use the natural cycles of life to your advantage by being aware of the planetary influences, the lunation cycle, the retrograde periods and more. This will increase your energy and empower you to act in ways that are in accord with the Universal energy.

Think of Astrology as being a language—the Language of the Stars. The planets could be considered portals of energy from a higher realm. Astrology can show us how to align yourself with these energies, this “Breath of Creation”.

In our current culture, it almost goes without saying that we are out of alignment with the natural flow of life. Can you see how when you are out of alignment your life can seem chaotic or unfullfiling? When you go against the grain you set up circumstances in your life that make it difficult to manifest?

The Life Pulse is strong in 2011 and so you want to be in that flow. This is how you will be able to sustain the energy needed for, and in, this new cycle.

Even doing so in some way will help tremendously.

Key Events In 2011
Next, I want to address the keys that I see as most significant to the New Cycle we are entering, particularly in the first half of the year:

The Uranus-Jupiter conjunction in Pisces in the first week of the year.
Jupiter entering Aries the 3rd week of January.
Uranus entering Aries mid-March for 7 years.
Neptune entering Pisces briefly for the first time in over 140 years.

========

1. Right out the door~Jupiter is conjunct Uranus!

When I look over the year ahead certain days or series of days will jump out at me as being of particular significance. This year, it is interesting because one of the most potent one is this week, January 4th, and the few days surrounding it.

The 3rd of three meetings of Jupiter-Uranus is happening this week (there were two last summer). This time it is occurring at the end of Pisces, which are the final degrees of the Zodiac. The influence of the conjunction of Jupiter & Uranus this week will last another 2-3 weeks.

These are powerful planets and their combined energies set the tone for the year for all of us. (Also on the 4th is the first New Moon of the year, which also happens to be a Solar Eclipse! This adds yet more potency to this week, and says that the seeds and thoughts we plant now are especially important to our entire year ahead.)

As we enter this year, it would be good to reflect not only on the past year, but the last several years. For they are the foundation to better understanding what this year is about, and what it isn’t about.

Supertramp Album Cover

A major theme is to seek freedom from limiting beliefs and patterns, to forgive others and yourself and to let go of whatever holds you back. During this time, if you have done the “work”, such as reflection and being willing to be responsible for your part, “just letting go” is absolutely possible during this time! This alone will open the space within for what comes in the new cycle.

Say Good-bye Old Programming!
We all have programs that run someplace in the background of our unconscious that sets our limits and says “yes” or “no” (mostly “no”). And of course some of those are necessary and just common sense. Yet others are based on old precepts of what we are capable of, what we think our best is, what we think we deserve or are able to do.

And yet, to grow, to become more of who we are and to accomplish what you set out to do this lifetime we must at times reach far beyond our “no’s”. I know we have all heard some version of this . . . yet we still find it hard to actually manifest the desired expansion in our lives.

One reason may be that we haven’t opened aspects of our own being to accept this expansion and so we fit our dreams into the old form, or formula. And then wonder why they don’t manifest. What can you conceive of? What do you think is truly possible?

The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction is a most expansive influence, happening now, right in the first few weeks of the New Year, inviting us to open to the part of yourself that can increase your consciousness, your capacity to accept your own higher self and your greatness.

Now is the perfect time to broaden your current perception of the reality of your life and then to see new possibilities. “What we can’t conceive of we can’t create.”

This energy is blowing the top off our own limitations, opening us to a new capacity to see what we are capable of!

There are keys to turning this lock open. First it is no mistake, I feel, that you are reading this. I say take that as a sign in and of itself that you are open and ready for this year to be a dynamic one for you. Believe that it is time, that you have all the resources and support you need to take whatever is your task to a higher level.

Take the next 2-3 weeks to focus on the inner. Surrender to your path, even if you aren’t exactly certain as to what that is. This, in itself, is an act of trust and faith in you believing that you have a purpose. Allow not knowing as to what is coming in. Most importantly, acknowledge that the past is no longer an option.

This can wake us up to what is possible. You may well sense that something is stirring and indeed it is. There may even be a feeling that your life is about to take off. Trust and nurture that!

The emphasis is now on taking part in your own life in a more dynamic and proactive way.

2. Jupiter in Aries ~ Activator of Enthusiasm

On January 22nd, Jupiter enters Aries until June 4th. Jupiter goes through each sign every 12 years and while in Aries can spark enthusiasm and bring some form of excitement into our lives. How amazing that it is happening now, in the first few months of this most amazing year.

Here are some keywords for while Jupiter is in Aries: Being bold and having courage to be who you are; be pioneering and entrepreneurial as it encourages new beginnings.

Qualities to focus on while Jupiter is in Aries: Optimism, inspiration, faith. Being open to change that brings more joy to your life. Doing things that are being true to yourself and increase your confidence.

Questions to ask during this time: Where am I ready to change and grow? Am I open to see what is truly possible? Am I willing to expand even if it means real change? If I were feeling bold and confident, what might I do? Do I wait for others to act before I take action?

What to watch out for during this time: While Jupiter is in Aries is great for expanding in many ways, yet you do need to be careful to not take on too much, too fast. Excesses of any kind are possible and need to be avoided.

This heralds a dynamic time, one that will usher in many changes, some you may have been working towards for some time.

3. Uranus in Aries ~ Enter the Spark

Uranus in Pisces has done a lot to lay a new foundation for spirit to enter our lives, for Light to enter our being. Yet it has been primarily on the inner and hasn’t really been conducive to outer manifestation. If we try to take action on something prior to it’s time, before the inner landscape hasn’t been laid, it is very possible that it will not sustain in physical form. So timing is everything.

Uranus is entering Aries on March 11 until May 15, 2015 and will act as a spark and catalyst. We can lay the logs on the fire but without the match it will not provide us with heat. And once Uranus is in Aries there will be many sparks to keep the fire going, through enthusiasm and renewed optimism.

Further, the channels that were forged in the last seven years are now ready to receive Light in a more dynamic way. We can more easily see how the insights that came through in that time now directly apply to our life.

Keywords for Uranus is in Aries: Expect unusual, unpredictable events that change how you view things. There is an acceleration of energies and a feeling that everything is happening very fast.

Qualities to focus on during this time: Being open to change that will bring you more aliveness and vitality. This is a primary element of all this—to feel more alive by being open to the life-giving pulse of Spirit. If you feel stuck, ask yourself if your lower will is still out of alignment with your higher will.

Questions to ask now: Am I willing to change those things that will truly change my life? Or do I back away from them, fearful that I will lose what is familiar? What would be the first thing I would change in my life that would make it better if I could?

What to watch out for during this time: Being erratic and making changes without any forethought. Seeking freedom and independence in impulsive ways. Resisting new ideas and information.

To attune to the higher frequencies of this Uranus influence, find ways to be yourself, to be authentic to who you are, be willing to be different, to step away from the crowd or the norm. The pulse of the Divine aspect of self is strong and it has a unique signature that is yours alone.

4. Neptune enters Pisces ~
The Pull Towards The Divine & The Life We have Chosen

Neptune enters Pisces for the first time in 140 years on April 4th and is a major part of the New Cycle we are entering. It is the beckoning of the Divine and draws us towards our higher self. Our devotional natures increase under its influence as we yearn for our God-connection to become stronger and more real.

The heart opens to unconditionally loving ~ ourselves, others and the life we have chosen. The sense of separation between ourselves and God and ourselves and others dissolves.

It is the missing piece to the puzzle and where our willingness to surrender to our own life agenda, set forth before we were born (and indicated in your natal chart) can now exist and come into being with less resistance and greater ease.

This is a long-term aspect, one that will be influencing us until 2025. It hasn’t been in Pisces in over 140 years).

As we enter the new cycle it is critical that we find ways to get in sync with the energies, as this is where we will find our strength and courage on an ongoing basis. I encourage you to check out the Astro Currents Monthly page to learn more.

It is an exciting year, one that I feel many have been waiting for a long time. Perhaps even lifetimes.

My prayer for you this year is that you open to your true self, and that you know many blessings along the way,

Get Your Ticket To The Stars

Elizabeth — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 22:32:31 +0000

It is a strange, almost surreal time, don’t you think?

Sometimes an aspect that doesn’t seem like it will be all that strong surprises us (me) and turns out to be quite potent indeed. We’re under such an influence now.

I’m referring to Venus at late Libra quincunx Jupiter conjunct Uranus at late Pisces. Just the words sound strange, don’t you think? (This will be hanging around through about the last weekend of November.) While these energies can be very positive at times, they can also be confusing and overwhelming.

Here’s some of what you may be feeling or experiencing. See if you can relate:

Overwhelm. Just too much to do or to even think about!
Yes indeed. This aspect can send the arrow to tilt easily. Can feel like Micky in the Sorcerer’s Apprentice (from the Disney movie, Fantasia).
Feeling uninspired, tired or lacking in imagination, especially just when you really need it!
Or you may be just the opposite and be feeling so inspired that ideas are coming in from every direction and you can’t keep up! So you just ignore it all.
Feeling unmotivated and out of focus.
Feeling spacey? Tired? Want to sleep more than usual? Or are your sleep patterns felt kind of strange? Had a few vivid and weird dreams?
Chaos seems to be ruling the day! Things fall out of order when you’re not even looking. Again, the image of Micky trying to get control of the mess in the Sorcerer’s Apprentice comes up for me.
Worried about finances? I’m hearing it on many fronts and seems to be up more than ever these days. It’s as though in the battle of Expenses vs. Income, the former has won.

There are two underlining energies here. One is excess to one extreme or another. There seems to be too much of whatever is going on. Too much to do. Not enough inspiration. Too many ideas. Not enough time. Too many bills. Not enough money.

The other is along the lines of “Whoa, I didn’t see that one coming!”. Meaning something is upon us before we even knew it was coming. (Quincunxes bring forward what was lurking in our blind spots).

Here are my suggestions:

One: Do not take on ONE more thing right now unless it is critical that you do.
Two: Diligently practice doing one step at a time. Put something in front of you, and only one something, and do it, otherwise you will get scattered and tangent and do nothing at the end of the day. I know this is one well. . . and under the current influences it is especially important.
Three: Say this as often as necessary: I Have Enough. I Do Enough. I Am Enough.
And finally, remember this, too, shall pass. We only have a few more weeks of this.

I just can’t end this without offering a thought or two on what might be the higher expression of this energy. Here goes:

I think this energy is here to open us, maybe even force us, to see new possibilities. Things you may have never considered. Some may be uncomfortable. Some may be bizarre. Or maybe they just feel impossible to you now. I say, just write it down. Capture it before it goes away. Think if of as writing down a dream while it still feels real.

As I said, it is a strange, almost surreal time. Yet to see new, I mean truly new, options and possibilities for our life, things have to get stirred up and seem unsolvable at times.

Remember what Mr. Einstein said? “You can’t solve a problem at the same level it was created.”

Reach higher for the solution. And do not rule out anything that comes in now. Just write it down so you can consider it later.

I will now leave you with the words to a song I think rather says it all:

There is a voice shouting in my head
And there is a voice
That is singing there instead
And there is a choice
To which one will I listen
For one the road is long and hard
The other yeah, the road will glisten

And not a day goes by that I don’t think I’m crazy
And not a day goes by
That the answers don’t seem hazy

Sometimes I’m lost and I’m down and out
But then I’m lost and lazy
But if I were lost in the middle of the Light
You know it would surely save me

And there are forces to guide you
Spirits beside you
Rivers to ride you home to the stars

Get your ticket to the stars.

From “Ticket to the Stars” by John Stewart
For those of you who don’t know about him, he was an original member of the Kingston Trio.
Here he is doing this song solo. Absolutely wonderful.

May you always remember that there are forces to guide you, Spirits beside you and rivers to ride you home to the stars.

Blessings and Light,

~Elizabeth

The Veils are Thin—a la Jupiter conjunct Uranus

Elizabeth — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 00:14:50 +0000

There is something quite amazing happening: the veils between our physical, emotional and mental worlds and the higher planes are thin now.

Jupiter is conjunct Uranus at 28 degrees of Pisces. This is occurring in the skies right now, this week, and the influence will be felt for the next few weeks. This event will not happen again, exactly like this, in the sign of Pisces, for centuries.

Free Spirit by NM Smith

The chances of this happening at the same time are well, astronomical. When I see this type of events, those that are so rare, I know they are by Cosmic design. And having awareness of them, to be able to attune to them consciously, is a gift. And will help each of you to access the gifts more easily, and willingly.

One more thing before I go into the impact of this amazing influence. This is the second of 3 conjunctions of Jupiter and Uranus. The first was on June 8th of this year and occurred at the first degree of Aries. And the last one will be on January 4th, 2011 also in late Pisces. Then it won’t happen again for a long time.

So what can you expect? Let’s look at each aspect of this first.

Jupiter, the great benefactor, opens us to higher understandings and knowledge. It helps us to see how the information we take in, through learning processes, becomes knowing and wisdom. This process impacts our attitudes and beliefs as we assimilate the information.

Uranus, called the great awakener, can open the channels to your higher mind, to higher levels of awareness. This is where your own direct knowing resides, if you will. It’s influence, when strong as it is now, can and will upset the apple cart . . . the status quo. Truth in this form has a way of doing this. So don’t be surprised to see things change around you . . . and perhaps quickly and in unexpected fashion.

And lastly, where this event is occurring in the skies makes it all the more amazing, as it is happening in the final degrees of Pisces. Let me explain . . . this is the end of the Zodiac, in a way, and can be like a portal to other dimensions. It is through these portals that you can also access past lives, your Soul Essence, inner guidance and more.

And it is THIS place that is being opened and activated. And everyone has it some place in their chart.

Here are some things you might experience:

You may notice certain abilities or talents you have that you hadn’t paid much attention to before. Could these be from another life to help you now? Yes…
You could be having experiences where you sense or feel your own true essence. These influences are expansive in nature.
Are you feeling spacey or ungrounded? Seeing things out of the corner of you eyes? Feeling that you are not along? Perhaps your own higher self is near by. Or your Guides or Angels.
With this gateway now open, you may be able to see or get a glimpse of what you know, of who you are. NOW you can sense and experience this more clearly.

Here are some things you may be feeling:

1-Tired, spacey, confused or just off and ungrounded. These are potent energies! And the lower parts of us often REEL when these energies enter our realms. What you usually count on may not be feeling so reliable.

Be gentle with yourself. And with others.
Do your grounding things—walk, yoga, eat well, rest when you need to.
Allow not knowing. Suspend judgment. Rest as needed.

..
2-Information could be coming in at a rapid rate, and you may be overwhelmed with it all. Or perhaps in unusual ways.

Write stuff down!
Don’t worry about it all making sense now.
It most likely won’t! You can sort it out later.
It is very important to pay attention to the subtle, or maybe not so subtle, messages you are getting now.
Watch your dreams, the words to a song you hear, a book that falls off your shelf or in a variety of other ways. The Universe is trying to get through!!

..
3-You are releasing something that has been a gift to you in past., and it may now be time to let it go.

Sometimes we just need to let go.
To trust and have faith that it is okay to do so.
Now is one of those times.

Some other things to keep in mind:

These energies are opening up the space where our reality is actually created, so for one, be careful what you think and what you are putting out there now. Hold the highest vibration possible. Think of it as the next steps or phases of your life is being created in a most mystical fashion. (A really good thing to say, as often as needed is this: Thy will be done.)
Notice what is happening in your life right now that is serendipitous, or coming from out of nowhere. Miracles and wonderful openings are very likely to be happening now.
Pay extra attention to your hunches and intuition. Messages about your path and life direction could be coming out of nowhere. Remember, the veils are thin and so more can get through. But we must be attentive to what is ethereal and subtle.

Where might all this be leading?

These are very initiatory energies. Higher levels of YOU are coming into your being.
This influence is wanting to reveal something to you . . . and the way to “get it” is to be willing and open and to say “YES” . Yes to knowing and seeing. Just let it into your consciousness . . . you can decide what to do with “it” later!
Really getting how trusting your life to God, to your own Soul, to the creative and benevolent energies of the Universe is the only thing you really want to do and is actually what you signed up for.
We are all being lead and guided to where we are meant to be. To our Souls’ intention for this lifetime. The energies to support this are accelerating.
And, you did consent to this. And you do have the tools and capacity and deep desire and all that you need to take the next steps in your life.

One last thing. As I mentioned, the final conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus will be occurring in early January. So it may around then that all that is happening now, and started in May or June, will come to fruition then and make more sense to you.

Trust. Have Faith. Surrender.

All is well.

Summer of 2010 Is In Full Swing Now!

Elizabeth — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 05:35:11 +0000

The astrological energies are just so very amazing now, and this will
definitely continue into next month.
Here’s what’s going on, and in the just next few days!

23rd-Jupiter stations retrograde at 3 degrees Aries until 11/18.
24th-Jupiter (while stationing) squares Pluto in Capricorn.
25th-Full Moon in Aquarius (at 3 degrees at 6:37 pm PDT).
26th-Saturn opposite Uranus at 0 degrees Libra/Aries.

Rather than go into each of these separately, I will write about their collective influence because they are occurring so close together. First, this is rare. It just doesn’t happen too often that four events, of such magnitude, occur in such a short time period. This will only intensify each of them. Intensify how? Let’s look at this.

www.spacetimeart.com

There are common energetic threads running between these influences: they all can expand whatever they are influencing. So for several days this sense of expansion and feelings of things increasing beyond where they were originally will be pervasive. Things can blow up out of proportion, increase in size, develop into mountains where they were just mole hills…perhaps you get the picture.

Current Events
There are two events in the news that are concerning me now. One is that the hurricane season is upon us. Under these influences any storm that arises could expand quickly and in unexpected fashion. How this may impact the Gulf oil situation is beyond what anyone can predict, but I feel things will go in unanticipated directions.

The other situation is regarding No. Korea. The headlines say they are “ramping up” threats against the U.S. military. Sounds ominous to me. And even if nothing comes of this in the immediate future, it does concern me because of the fact that it is occurring now, under such potent events that will have long-reaching influences. This suggests that this move on No. Korea’s part is only the beginning, or continuation of, their aggressive behaviors. An acceleration of this event could happen anytime during the next three weeks as the square of Jupiter and Pluto will last that long, and the impact of this could be war-like in nature.

Another time to watch is February, 2011 when they square again. And yet another is when Jupiter stations direct in mid-November. I cannot stress enough how rare and truly volatile these astrological events can be. It is certainly a threat to take seriously.

These are not the only influences occurring during this Summer, and there are others that may well act like triggers. In general, the influence of these are that things could change quickly, and in unexpected ways. I fully expect there will be other unusual and even extraordinary current events taking place during this time. Some may even be shocking and upsetting. Those involving or impacting groups and/or large numbers of people are possible. Others may also include “natural phenomena” such as earthquakes, extreme weather or rapidly spreading fires.

. . . . . .

So how might these be impacting us personally?
In a variety of ways. Here are some possibilities:

Whatever is taking place, it could happen quickly, as these events will move energy along at a brisk pace.
Expect the unexpected. Don’t assume you know outcomes.
While some things may come to an abrupt end, others may begin just as quickly.
Keep this in mind: things want to change. There is a shift happening and it is in full swing.
You may notice lots of coincidences and strange things occurring around you. It could get interesting.
New vitality and excitement are available. Look for the spark and follow that.
New cycles are starting, and it warrants new and fresh perspectives and approaches.
Think outside the box. In fact, think with no boxes at all. All bets are off. Anything is possible now.
All of the above could impact any area of your life: relationships, work, finances, home, etc.
Opportunities could arise out of nowhere. Pay attention to what is entering your life now.

In essence, we are being challenged to enter into new territory. To embrace change.
A good place to begin is wherever you have become stagnant.

. . . . . .

Feeling anxious, panicky, tense, edgy or uneasy are all possible during this time.
Two primary reasons for these feelings at this time are:

We humans don’t like too much change as a rule, especially if we don’t know what it is that is coming or from which direction.
Also there is a lot of energy swirling around the ethers during this time, and if you are sensitive to picking up the emotions of others, then you will especially notice this.

Protect yourself by calling on the Light. And do those things that help you stay grounded and centered (eat well, walk, get rest, hug trees…stuff like that). This feeling of empathy will be especially strong during the time of the Full Moon, on the 25th, as this particular lunation increases the sense of unity and oneness by dissolving the boundaries that separate us.

Overall, this is an amazing time. And in case I wasn’t clear, the four events I list above are only part of what is happening. There is another “round” of events happening at the end of the month and into August. More on that later.

For now, hold on, and pay attention. In the midst of all this craziness and intensity, there may be a miracle thrown in.

Blessings and Light,

~Elizabeth

Jupiter in Aries~Learning to Thrive

Elizabeth — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 20:27:26 +0000

When Jupiter entered Aries this weekend, it was an invitation to us~to learn to thrive, not just survive. This is an opportunity to expand into the life we were meant to live. This kind of living requires energy and enthusiasm. And this is just what Jupiter in Aries can provide. Are you open and ready for to change in the ways necessary to create this?

Learn all about this at my new article here.

Mars Station & Jupiter Conjunct Neptune

Elizabeth — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:49:59 +0000

Every so often there is a combo of celestial events that really gets my attention and one such time is occurring in the 3rd week of December. Here is what is happening:

Mars in Leo is stationing retrograde on the 20th (while opposing the Moon, btw. More on that in AstroLite in a few days).
Jupiter is conjunct Neptune on the 21st.
The Sun enters Capricorn, which is the Winter Solstice in the No. Hemisphere.

At the least, you can expect to be busy, overwhelmed and excited all at the same time. I have lots more info on this at AstroCurrents on these influences and how they will affect us.

Mark your calendar to check back around that time for up-to-the-minute insights as to this most dynamic of influences.

In the meantime, my hope is that you are enjoying this Season of Light in a myriad of ways, as there are so many available to us during this time. A key is to spend some time in silence and alone, especially important during these busy days. Your Light will always be found there.

In Light and with Blessings,

Elizabeth
