A magic moment

We've reached the culmination of a powerful alignment in the energy tides. Planets are at the exct midpoints of all four seasons, the peak power points for all four elements (fire, air, water, earth), in what's called a grand cross. It's always a big deal, but this one involves the maximum possible intensity, with potentially historic consequences. When the full heart (moon) reaches the peak of passion (Leo) on Sunday night, January 15, it joins creativity in magnetism (Jupiter in Scorpio), dreams in awareness (Neptune in Aquarius), and action in fertility (Mars in Taurus) at the turning point of an energizing crossfire. We all need to accept our place amidst this intensifying alignment, endure its potentially overwhelming experience, and ride out the release of primal forces. The power of nature is breaking through the tension of an unhealthy order, a deeper energy forging a more substantial reality. We must allow creation to run its course, sustained by the grace of genuine heartfulness.
