Friday 5/31/13

Mind leads the way into flowing feeling (Mercury into Cancer), where big energy now in mentality (Sun, Venus, Mars, Jupiter in Gemini) will be shifting as we get into summer. Heart in tender sensitivity, intensified (Moon in Pisces, Saturn in Scorpio), emerging with personal passion Sunday (Moon into Aries 11:33pm PDT Saturday). Love into emotional flow starting Sunday night (7:13pm PDT).

Wednesday 5/29/13

Alignment in awareness, reinforced earth power.

(Sun in Gemini, Moon in Aquarius. Mars in Taurus.)

Monday 5/27/13

Mind, love and creativity together in the awareness at the top of the roller coaster, spirit meets power at the bottom of things, energizing emerging wisdom. Grounding in sensitivity.

(Mercury, Venus and Jupiter meet in Gemini ahead of the Sun, Moon with Pluto in Capricorn square Uranus in Aries. Saturn in Scorpio trine Neptune in Pisces.)

Monday 5/20/13--Pluto square Uranus

On 5/20/13, a rare alignment of major astrological forces reaches the second of four peak energy pulses between 2012 and 2015, building potential shifting to powerful release. Deep nature force is energizing revolutionary development on this planet.

Pluto in Capricorn, grounding us in the physicality of primal nature, is making a right angle square to Uranus in Aries, wisdom emerging with passion, for the first time since 1167BC. This is a positive progression, but it could bring disruptive upheaval, unhealthy ways coming to a head as part of a purifying process. It is happening at a time of saturating sensitivity--centering Saturn in the emotional intensity of Scorpio trine deep receptive Neptune in the tender vulnerability of Pisces. By summer, when big, expansive Jupiter moves from mental Gemini into flowing feeling Cancer--a grand trine in water signs--it could unleash a great wave of spirit energy, just as the power of reinforced nature is breaking through the prevailing stability of the failing tension-based order.

The Mayan Calendar describes a rhythmic pattern of accelerating vibratory energy that has driven the emergence of biological life in our world. According to the traditional count, this process completed in October 2011, the range of evolutionary possibility now fully unfolded. The forces of powerful Pluto in earthy Capricorn and revolutionary Uranus in assertive Aries are converging at the crossroads where we live the way a magnifying glass can focus the rays of the Sun on a dry leaf, suddenly bursting into flames. (The Sun joined this alignment for the first time on 12/21/12, perhaps explaining the much misunderstood significance of that date.) We have entered an era with great transformative potential, where control and domination and all the ugliness that has bred will be supplanted by the enduring imperatives of interdependence and enlightened humanity.

As always, we must give in to the magic of creation at every moment, settled with the peace of awareness amidst it, and see where it leads.

Thursday 5/9/13--Taurus new moon

The mid-spring new moon. Sun and Moon meet in Taurus (5:28pm PDT). A peak of flowering fertility, solid with the power of the earth, energized with emotional intensity (opposite Saturn in Scorpio). It will move us through big mentality into a summer of flowing feeling (Jupiter from Gemini into Cancer 6/25) and ripening fruitfulness.

At a time of reinforced physicality (Pluto in Capricorn), we are building toward the second of four energy pulses between 2012 and 2015 (square Uranus in Aries 5/20) empowering the emergence of revolutionary wisdom.

Deep nature power is grounding us in reality, energizing the expression of healthy humanity.
