Soul Searching
It's been nearly a week since the Full Moon Eclipse. I mentioned that i'd keep you in touch with 'events' from the Full Moon Eclipse's conjunction of my natal (birth placement) Moon.Predictions are tricky things - and most Astrologers will admit to that. It's possible, and easy for some, to understand the possible dynamics created by the relationships between our neighbouring planets - but how that will actually unfold for the individual, or country etc, is near impossible to accurately predict. Although saying that - a lot of Astrologers were 'spot on' with predictions regarding the cataclysmic changes facing our economic system.
But personal predictions, i personally, steer clear of. How certain energy patterns are going to unfold is almost impossible to know, before hand anyway. Certainly somethings can be 'sensed', visions of future events are possible for some. Astrological techniques and a psychic 'sense' combined can be an impressive tool for future gazing. But not all Astrologers are psychic or psychics Astrologers.
Anyway, back to the Full Moon Eclipse conjuncting (sitting on) my Moon. The degree was exact, it caught my attention, i figured some effect would become evident.
The Moon rules over our emotions, our instincts, our home, our family, our fluids, our ancestry (particularly maternal), our receptivity, our psychic sense and our deepest needs - what we need to feel comfortable and safe. It has quite an impact on us, the Moon, as she does on our planet Earth. My natal Moon sits in the 8th house (Astro chart) - a house of deep, deep vibrations. An energy of deep union, the support of others, death and rebirth - transformation, and the deepest of deepest psychic connections with others. The 8th house is Scorpio's house - everything there is deep! What lies beneath the surface of things, no superficiality here, but the bare basic truths, ensconced in a rich tapestry of emotion.
So what happened? Like most things it took a while to unfold, or for me to notice. So used to walking in a sleep, unaware of the energetic movements within me. It started in true Virgo fashion - yes you're right - the body. Horrible, horrible headaches for nearly three days followed by the most uncomfortable indigestion. Well, i know that Virgo's weak spot is digestion and it doesn't take much to upset it. My partner would often draw my attention to my hand on my stomach - he knew immediately that i wasn't happy!
But this time, the upset was big - and as usual, my conscious mind had no idea what was happening. I hadn't had that kinda tummy upset for years!!! It's still happening (off to the Naturopath on Wednesday). Tried to focus on what 'i should be' doing - ie work etc - but very little energy, strength or motivation for it. What was/is happening wants my full attention. A Flower Essence i thought! I forget - and i make Flower Essences!!!!!!! Is there any hope!!!!! I can be quick to make one for someone else, but myself. . . . . i just forget, or do I? Or is it more like i don't think i'm worth the time! Sounds drastic, doesn't it, but do we really lose the love of ourselves so readily! Is the harsh conditioning and weathering of our life on earth, so damaging? But thank god there's hope - more than hope, we learn, we grow, we evolve and the longing to do so, if kept alive and flourishing, carries us to further flowering - of the divine beauty of our true self.
So made the Flower Essence - only 3 essences came to the fore - Wedding Bush, Greek Basil and Pink Poppy. At first glance thought - well, fairly concentrated, only 3 - about relationship with self, family karma, visions and obsessive, addictive behaviours.
I started taking them - and as always, with the Flower Essences, something 'magickal'' occurs. I feel it in my entire system - they move somehow (Meridians) through the body system, focusing gentle light on areas in need of healing. And they begin their work, of bathing and caressing - restoring to energetic balance. This can be felt - it amazes me!
I make them - or more correctly, i have the incredible gift of being a communicator for them (the Flower Deva) - yet it never stops amazing me how extraordinary they are. They can bring about an altered energetic state that lets me see what the 'problem' is, what is holding me back, what i'm still carrying. 'Cause we carry it all, in energetic form, until it's released, forgiven, let go of.
The Deva-line Flower Essence Brochure in on the manymagickmoments.blogspot.com
for further descriptions.
I went back to the brochure to look again at the meaning of the essences in my new blend. As their gentle energy was with me, i could feel them doing their work - so powerful is our Mother Gaia and her superlative gifts. It feels like gentle waves gently moving through my body, lighting, focusing, clearing, nurturing and re-orienting the focal points of imbalance.
Wedding Bush connects us with our relationships - our relationships with others, ourselves, our bodies, our communities, our earth. In life we have a relationship with everything - she shows us our relationship with our self, how healthy is it? Our relationship with our self is the basis for all our relationships.
Greek Basil helps us to uncover deep family connections. For long standing wounds and healing family karma. This evolves family energetics to a higher level, enabling a celebration of unity and growth. Uncovers the true, vibrant family essence.
Pink Poppy be flexible and go with the 'wind', uncovering the gift of visionary site, bringing dreams and visions of healing. Helps us to see what needs healing in our self, to 'see' beyond the obsessive, compulsive and addictive behaviours to what we really need and crave.
I could feel and see the 'uncovering' of the picture - deep and fathomless as it may be, steps were being taken to heal it.
A reminder, once again, that all that needs healing is within me - not in another. Only through the healing of my own loss of self love will any interaction outside of me change. Another Flower Essence that initially came up in the reading, but was not a priority for now ( pendulum) - was White Rose - the picture was becoming clear.
White Rose experiencing the lessons of unconditional love, we learn the alchemical process of attraction. Where the greatest transformation comes from changing one's own vibration. What we are is what we attract. Helps with clarity in matters of the heart, showing that only by changing our own vibration can we attract new and different experiences and people into our life.
That i 'stumbled' across the Flower Essence and the knowledge 'remembered' for creating them - has been, and is, a wonderful and cherished gift in my life. Flower Essences work in a very real way - so gently yet so focused in clarity, combining the innate wisdom of the body systems with the natural genius and love of Mother Nature.
So yes, the Eclipse did have a big impact on me - i'm still working with it, with the help of the Flower Essences, willing (albeitly indirectly at times) to face the truth - without which forward evolution and full participation in life is not possible.
much love to you all

Astounding
I just did the 'Your ecological footprint' quiz - boy did i bum out - and i thought i was ecologically conscious.
The results of mine said that it would take '4.6 PLANETS IF EVERYONE LIVED LIKE ME TO PROVIDE ENOUGH RESOURCE' - how disgusting!!!
You can do the quiz on www.earthday.net/footprint
You might do better!

Are you in tune with yourself?
Are you in tune with yourself? Am I in tune with myself? Neptune's Return is a good time to review this.The planet Neptune is sitting at 25 degrees in the constellation of Aquarius - the same place as when it was first discovered in 1846. When a planet completes it's journey through all the constellations and returns to the same place, in this case it's place of discovery, in Astrological terms this is known as a Return.
Neptune being one of the outer planets of our solar system - travels slowly (from our perspective anyway!) - it's taken him 263 yrs to complete his journey. Neptune is 30 times further from the Sun than Earth.
Neptune rules the Zodiac sign Pisces - so it's not surprising that at the time of his discovery both Ether/anaesthetic and Photography appeared. Also significant contributions from both Darwin and Marx.
Neptune particularly influences fashion and music! So whatever constellations Neptune is visiting will influence both of these considerably. It's easy to track fashion cycles - just look at the sign Neptune was in at the time. Music, like fashion, is also influenced by this giant mass.
Neptune has the reputation for being evasive - or is he just hard to see clearly. Often surrounded by mist or fog - his contribution is not always obvious. With Neptune you need to 'feel' - he's not so easy to 'see'. In fact Neptune is all feel - he's the master teacher in that realm - he doesn't have another way of operating - he's all about 'flow'. Like the ocean, which he is linked - Neptune King of the Sea - he moves in rhythm to natures cycles. His sensitivity is extraordinary, he needs this to sense the mood, hear the rhythm and move with the cycle. He operates in the element of water - which flows. Water can be a powerful force- and faced with it's power, surrender is often the only recourse. He connects with the abundance of water within our bodies - they communicate, no words are needed. We sense, we intuit, we know, without having to be told - such is his ability to communicate and our ability to 'hear'.
Neptune also rules over the domains of artistic expression and the healing arts - both so dependent on intuiting, feeling and sensing.
So Neptune has returned what can that mean for us? In the Astrological Natal Chart a return is quite significant - particularly those of the outer, slow moving planets. During a period of Return we are often reminded of something, often forgotten in our busy scramble ahead. Reminded of something we knew was important in our life but put aside because there just wasn't enough time! When the planet returns to it's natal placement it brings back the energy of that placement - and we are reminded. Depending on the planet and it's placement this may not always be easy, but necessary for our way forward. This is often the case with the Returns of Saturn.
For me, I sense that Neptune's Return makes him more powerful, easier to be feel. Neptune is also connected to our desire to escape, to avoid - so maybe a time to see more clearly how we create situations that anesthetize us, so we can escape from our unconscious pains. Also an amazing time of creativity - maybe new awareness into healing with sound. The oceans and our waterways will also be more in focus. And in this time of transformative healing of the earth - possibly more storms and high tides.
But for me, I want to tune into him more - easy to ignore Neptune, or try to anyway - as he makes us feel so damn sensitive, it hurts! But sensitivity is the vehicle to explore his oceanic realms, his far away lands, his deepest mysteries.
Neptune's been a close companion of mine during my lifetime - I've feared him, tried to block him out, ignored him (or tried to), and plain refused to believe he existed. But that didn't change anything - just prolonged the desire to escape! He's powerful Neptune, but in a way that seems so diffused, so untouchable, so evasive, so hidden. But you have to feel with all your being - you see you can only feel him - your head is of absolutely no use here - I've tried it, I keep trying it - it's simply useless. Neptune has his own unique pathway and once you find it and have the faith in yourself to follow it - magickal realms of incredible beauty await you.
It's Neptune time - may you discover his etheral beauty and divine healing.
lotsa luv

The times in which we live!
Are you feeling it? Are you feeling it? I’m sure you are, just what is happening on this planet of ours???
Well it’s been a pretty full on time! The big Solstice event on June 23rd was potently aspected! The energy of two of the heavy weights Uranus and Pluto challenged this event – Uranus squaring both the Sun and Moon and Pluto opposing them. These planets impart powerful energies of change, revolution, innovation, death, rebirth and power. A potent brew!
The day after this great event – there was a New Moon – a significant time of new beginnings! Pluto – the harbinger of power, death and rebirth – opposed this New Moon.
Beautiful, loving Venus and creative, active Mars snuggling together in Taurus has been a welcomed relief. A sense and need to comfort and nurture ourself, has been somehow easier to feel – thank god! – so needed during these trying times.
The big Chiron, Neptune and Jupiter cha, cha, cha – is moving things in huge ways – can you feel your awareness moving at lightening speed? I sure can, sometimes I just want to say ‘stop!!!!!! Give me some peace for a while. . . . .please!!!!’ Where’s the stop button! ‘Do I have to feel everything???"
Openings created by Neptune and Chiron can be stressful! This would be a good time to seek out your favourite therapist, particularly modalities that can realign the energy fields, which are being powerfully transformed and reshaped as we speak!
Well, these are big times – and big methods are needed! We really don’t like to be woken up do we? We much rather get all cosy on the couch in front of the fire, watching our favourite movie or reading our favourite book, warm drink in hand. Safe away from the troubles of the world – ‘just leave me here please!!’
But alas – this is not the time. Time for hiding away has gone – nowhere to hide, it’ll come and get you wherever you are.
But if you’re a good girl/boy and pay attention, step forward and act – then you can have your cosy times on the couch in front of the fire (we need those) – but not as an escape! ‘Cause you’re never going to be able to forget – ‘they’ are never going to let us forget what’s happening and what we need to do.
This is 2009 – I remember watching cartoons that depicted these times – cars flying through the air, people dressed in space gear. I have lived through the ‘50’s, ‘60’s, ‘70’s, ‘80’s’, ‘90’s’ and now here in 2009. Things may not have changed as we projected, on the outside – but on the inside – things are really flying! Awareness is flying, understanding is awakening and the community of the world is communicating.
These are very big times indeed.
The energy surrounding the Solstice sets the energy for the 3mth period ahead. The energy contributed by the big boys Uranus and Pluto at the Solstice event created a powerful and portentous (borrowed this from Babula, great word!) start to the new season. Portentous means solemn, ominous, alarming, significant, threatening, crucial and menacing.
To quote Babula (lovely Astrologer from Qld) ‘stay tuned as there will be more major world events coming in the coming weeks’
I remember having a peak at the New Year chart – on Jan 1st this year. I remember it, as normally I’m an optimistic type who usually looks for the strengths and positives – but looking at this chart I got the shivers, and felt an ominous sense. I couldn’t help but feel that things were going to be difficult this year.
And I sense that this is just the beginning – there is more to unfold. A lot of people are aware that the way we’ve structured our social systems simply isn’t working. And anything that’s not working eventually breaks down.
Things aren’t working in big ways – so a major overhaul appears to be before us. Major overhauls take a lot – a lot of patience, a lot of awareness, a lot of realness, a lot of understanding and a lot of courage.
These big fellows up in our Solar System are not just doing ‘their thing’ – we are all connected. They effect us and we effect them.
These are major transformational times and it is not a question of can we change but how will we change – change is a necessity not an option. The sooner we realise this, the easier it will become.
In just a few months Saturn, the taskmaster of hard work, discipline, focus and ‘building from the base’ strongly challenges Pluto, the bringer of death, rebirth and renewal of power. This is a huge combination with portentous (that word again) possibilities.
This aspect continues through 2010 following this in 2011 – Uranus squares (challenges) Pluto as well.
Adding to this potent brew we have arrived in an Eclipse period – two is July and one in early August. Eclipses are also potent times – they bring change (not that word again!), endings and beginnings for the world at large. They have a particular significance for those people who have planets at the same degrees of the Eclipse. The Lunar Eclipse on June 7th is at 15 degrees Capricorn (smack bang on my Moon, I’ll keep you in touch!) – the Total Solar Eclipse on July 22nd is at 29 degrees Cancer – and the Lunar Eclipse on August 6th is at 13 degrees Aquarius.
Eclipse energy can last over a period of 6 months – sometimes for years. So to have all this powerfully potent energy happening all around the same time – is significant indeed. We are already seeing some of the consequences. But hold your hats guys – there’s more on the way.
So dear fellow citizens of earth – choice of change we do not have – this is going to happen regardless – so the choice we do have now is – are we going to be a part of this change or are we going to resist it? Resisting the flow is always much more painful – energy likes to go with the flow, in this way it has much more strength (martial arts) and more power.
So from my protected little space – so warm and cosy, our very graced lives here in the land of Oz (for a lot of us anyway) – how can I contribute, how can I be a part of this incredible, spectacular event which is happening NOW – before our very eyes.
These are big time indeed – and require big people, big individuals to open their minds, open their heart to things we could never have dreamt of.
Consciously focus your time – lovingly structure your life – have fun and enjoy ever moment – ‘cause they never return.
So this month’s message for all the different ‘signs’ of the Zodiac is;
"This is a universal message and sent to each of you – ‘go into your heart, rest in your love – listen to your answer when you ask ‘what can I do now to be a part of the healing of this Earth? Within that, I’m sure you’ll find your own healing’
Have a great month!
lotsa luv
