Minding Mercury REtrograde in The Archer’s Aims

“As one, one, always one.
So what do I have to do to get you
to admit who is speaking?

Admit it and change everything!
This is your own voice echoing off the walls of God.”
~Rumi

Rx Begins: 2:19am EST 24 November @ 20 degrees Sag
Direct: 8:43pm EST 13 December @ 03 degrees Sag
Approach: Began 04 November-
The last day Mercury was at 03 deg Sagittarius

Shadow: Ends 01 January 2012-
The next time Mercury reaches 20 deg Sagittarius going Direct

First things first. It’s time for us all to remove our “fears” that are typically associated with this planetary transit. When approached with the right attitude, the very REwards from a Mercury REtrograde are ones that we are not meant to miss.

“Remember that planets do not “cause” anything. If instead we go back to the idea of “as above, so below” and think once more of a stage on which the planets are moving, then the times that Mercury, the master communicator and trickster, walks backward are simply extra tricky times. After all, the image of the jester walking backwards is suspicious, to say the least. What is he up to now? What is he backing away from? The already slippery nature of Mercury is even trickier to pin down during his retrograde days. During such days, he demands that we pay extra special attention to mercurial things. We can ignore this and be tricked and bamboozled. Mercury takes great pleasure in the fact that either way we are dealing with Mercury, voluntarily, or involuntarily.” ~Laurence Hillman, ‘Planets in Play’

Like sleep, this passage offers the proper time within our planetary cycles to recharge ourselves. Without these needed times the Universe schedules for redoing, reorganizing, and reflection- the collective would not move forward optimally. Being Mercury is the keeper of our thinking, mentality, communications and movement of all kinds, it is this part of ourselves that deserves a “tune-up.” (aside from any your car may request a repair for over this time 😉

By choosing to resist the changes that a transit like Mercury Retrograde presents for us, then that “scary” energy of The Messenger undoubtedly will happily find us toying with the tricks he plays. Your free will decides upon this “fate.” The key to achieving success under any Mercury Retrograde Period is to expect change, and embrace it. Knowing like attracts like, those that choose to become aggravated and frustrated by The Trickster over this passage, willingly jump on their own chaos train. Mercury doesn’t “do this” to anyone.

This time Mercury has picked Sagittarius to bring forth the necessary RE’s of REtrograde that are well advised to follow as we weather The Messengers’ final backwards journey of 2011. The IDEAS that come to you under your reflective time are meant to be a huge part of the REwards that aim in your life as AIDES.

With Sagittarius being the sign of perspective, honesty, optimism, and expansion- these are the virtues we are meant to adhere to the most as we gravitate to the actions of: REdoing, REpairing, REassessing, REading, REvisiting, REjoicing, REaligning, REsting, REviewing, and by all means RElaxing!

As we accept Mercury’s request for reflection, REsponding vs. REacting is the key to finding REward during this passage. There will be buzzes of changes that will undoubtedly occur while this Retrograde plays out. Especially while The Messenger is backtracking in the mutable fire sign that Sagittarius is, the potential for energy to spin out of control is high to occur. While we are wise to avoid important decisions and initiations for future success at this time, our activity and behavior while in REassessment is imperative.

Look to the 03 deg to 20 degree Sagittarius piece of your personal Zodiac Pie to see where reflection urges to find you under this upcoming passage. Remember as well…

The DO’s & DON’TS of Mercury REtrograde…

DO:
REmain Calm!
Expect CHANGE: in your plans, travel, routines, & schedules to occur suddenly
Give yourself extra time to get where you’re going
REvisit unfinished projects and our past
Have Plan B, C, and possibly D REady at all times
Spend time in the RE’s: RElax, REvisit, REflect, REdo, REcharge!
Gravitate to REsponding vs. REacting!

DON’T:
“Freak out” when changes come up
Rush: speaking, driving, doing anything involving movement!
Sign important documents
Initiate anything new

Keep in mind, those events and situations that have occurred since 04 November- fall under the approach of this Retrograde. We tend to start to see the things that will undergo reassessment emerge over these couple weeks, in the specific areas of your life noted above. Equally before the shadow completes upon 01 January 2012, you will see further opportunities for final adjustments that need to be made from all action occurring within the retrograde period.

Another star secrets “tid-bit” from Numerology is able help us handle our understanding of Mercury Retrograde through its’ Name Expression, which calculates to a 13, that of ‘REgeneration – Change.’ Said the Chaldeans of this number that equally tells us to expect the unexpected: “13 is not an unlucky number, as many people believe. The ancients claimed that he who understands how to use the number 13 will be given power and dominion. The symbol of the 13 is a skeleton, or death, with a scythe, reaping down men in a field of new-grown grass, where young faces and heads appear to be thrusting through the ground and emerging on all sides. 13 is a number of upheaval, so that new ground may be broken. It’s associated with power, which, if used for selfish purposes, will bring destruction upon itself. There is a warning of the unknown and the unexpected. Adapting to change gracefully will bring out the strength of the 13 vibration, and decrease any potential for the negative. 13 is associated with genius- also with explorers, breaking the orthodox and new discoveries of all kinds.”

As always the uncanny power of Lexigrams is also here to REmind you how to best find ease under this passage. There is an important tale for every sign to hear that is told as we poetically phrase the anagrams found within the very title of Mercury Retrograde:

MERCURY RETROGRADE

DAY TO DAY, GREET YOUR URGE TODAY:
GOT TO REDO, GOT TO RETRACE
GOT TO REROUTE YOUR GAME
GOT TO RECREATE TO REORDER
GOT TO RE-EDUCATE

TRADE OUTRAGE TO A COURAGE REMEDY
GO TO A MERCY TO CURE A GREEDY EGO
GO GREET A MORE MATURE AREA
GOT TO A REMOTE AREA TO MEET A GREAT REMEDY
GO TO A GOD- ADORE YOU!

Even though we are now amidst the merry buzz of another Holiday Season, there is priceless value in just simply going along with the course that change can naturally takes us. What area of the life will you witness these RE’s to occur? Here is a handy guide from the collective perspective to guide you in making the most of this Universal gift of REflection. Taking time to ponder REview in this area of the life will be time well spent and unwrap the true blessings that can be found. Should you know your Rising Sign/Ascendant, especially check-in with your natal chart to see the area of life 03 to 20 deg Sagittarius equally REquires your attention.

Aries: How I Believe in Higher Education/Philosophy/Wisdom
Taurus: How I Transform Wealth/Death & Rebirth/Sexuality

So, My Dear Stars, it’s time to RElease your fears and become friends with Mercury Retrograde. REmember to be in PATIENCE with yourself with a little I TAP IN AN ANCIENT PEACE PACE, which will ideally manifest as you choose a Sagittarian true honest LISTEN: I SIT IN SILENT TIES IN TEN- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 TEN, I ENLIST IT.

Happy REflective Mercury REtrograde trails to you! More to come on how your Lunar-O-Scope for the upcoming New Moon and Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius all tie into The Messengers energies, so stay tuned!

Word Ponder: OCCUPY WITHIN

“The goal of any esoteric work must be that of objectivity, first in our understanding of ourselves, and then, as out filters and programs are dislodged, of the world. A true esoteric teaching will, there fore, not only focus on “Know Thyself,” but will also provide knowledge about the reality of our reality. If one or the other of these aspects are missing from a teaching, then you can be certain that it is incomplete, and in an incomplete teaching, even if through ignorance of the teacher, even if unconscious, is dangerous.” ~Henry See

Are you tired of hearing the word OCCUPY yet?

Seems humanity, as usual is on the wrong course to find a true and genuine peace of mind. Here we go again with the seeking to improve from the outside.

In the buzzing world we all exist within, with the instant now this and can’t update it fast enough that, (you know the one where you never feel like you can even keep up anymore?), now we have the epidemic of further occupying what is outside of ourselves in some bizarre attempt to amend and make things right.

But really, what is being accomplished by all the “occupy overload“ people are drumming up these days? Do we really feel any kind of satisfaction or sense of resolution from any of them? Aside from more than likely a rise in blood pressure for most, is this some kind of change we can really believe in?

Going back to the concept of “As Above, So Below,” and how this leads to “Know Thyself,” there couldn’t be more truth and validity within these phrases than ever before. Those powerful planets above always have a wise channel for us to learn from down here below. From your astrological, numerological to the wonders awaiting within your Lexigrams, taking a good look inside is the only way change will happen optimally.

Looking to the Name Expression (the numerological vibration that guides it by calculating the value of its’ letters) of ‘Occupy Within,’ as always, there is valuable insight for us to listen to. When one may stop occupying everything outside of themselves and go within, there is definitely some magic that can unfold. When you have a Name Expression of the 23’s ‘The Royal Star of the Lion,’ not only is there is plenty of protection around, but the ability to achieve success is more often than not the welcomed outcome.

Said the Chaldean’s of the 23: “This is a karmic reward number. 23 bestows, not only a promise of success in personal and career endeavors, it guarantees help from superiors and protection from those in high places. It’s a most fortunate number, and greatly blesses with abundant grace the person or entity represented by it. Other numbers don’t have much of a chance to bring about serious trouble when the Royal Star of the Lion is present during difficult times. No number can challenge the Lion’s strength and win.”

So, forget about occupying Wall Street, and every other place in the world to start making change. With the 23, you’ve also got the singular energy of the 5 to aide in presenting Mercury’s gift of movement and change amongst the masses. When you ‘Occupy Within’ you’ll create the personal platform so you can ideally handle any outside alteration that wishes to come your way. As we equally take in the wisdom of Lexigrams -the poetic phrasing of the anagrams found from any name, word or in this case, title- how interesting that we learn: the process all does start with YOU.

OCCUPY WITHIN

PHONY ICONIC UNITY NOT TO WIN IT NOW

NOT TO COUNT ON PHONY COIN COY CON HUNT

NOT TO HUNT CITY TO CITY, COUNTY TO COUNTY

WHY? WHY? WHY IN A PHONY CON ICONIC HUNT TO WIN?

HINT HINT: TOUCH UPON YIN UNITY

HINT HINT: TO PITCH OPTIC INPUT WITHIN TO OWN IT

WHO? YOU! HOW? TOUCH UPON UNITY, TOUCH UPON TOP NOTCH WIN

NOW YOU! HOW? HINT HINT (IT HOT, IT HIP, IT CHIC):

OWN IN UNITY, OWN IN TOP NOTCH YOU WON

NOW! PUT IT IN UNITY TO WIN IT, TO OWN IT, TO OPT IT, TO TOP IT

YOU! HOW? NOW! TOUCH UPON CHI TO PUT IT IN UNITY

Word Ponder: GRATITUDE

Gratitude11

“Gratitude is the vessel that we lift to the Gods that they may fill it with their wonder-gifts. If in all earnestness we foster the feeling of thankfulness, then gratitude, living devotion must be there to the invisible spiritual givers of life; and it is the most beautiful way to be led from one’s personality to the supersensible if this guidance goes through gratitude. Gratitude ultimately brings us to veneration and love of live-bestowing spirit of man. It gives birth to love, and love makes the heart open for the spirit-powers pervading life. If, after every meditation, we arouse in ourselves the feeling of gratefulness and reverence -a feeling that we can call a mood of prayer- and be aware in what grace we are taking part, we shall realize that we are on the right path for spiritual worlds to approach us.”
~Rudolf Steiner, Guidance in Esoteric Training

Sometimes, one just has to be in complete appreciation how the Universe truly does hold the wisdom in separate pieces for us all to put together. After all, if we didn’t have puzzles to figure out in life, how in the world would we ever learn anything? Rudolf Steiner mentions, after we spend time in a form of meditation, just how beneficial it is for us to leave that practice with the sense and awareness of what gratitude means within our lives for our spiritual paths to become more fulfilled.

So too do the Chaldeans -when looking to the very same word gratitude- understand that the energy behind it requests a soul to not only spend some time in meditation, but with the self in solitude to bring out those ideas that will more often than not, have a profound affect upon the world around them.

Looking at the Name Expression (the numerical value of all the letters composing a word or name) of gratitude, we have the Chaldean Karmic Mystery of the 30, the concept of  Loner- Meditation. Anyone who knows about Steiner’s teachings, knows he was an incredibly spiritually-oriented soul in multitudes of ways. While Steiner did not directly study Chaldean Numerology, he intuitively understood the energy that surrounds gratitude in a very similar way, as the 30’s meaning states:

“This is a number of retrospection, thoughtful deduction, and mental superiority over others. However, it belongs completely to the mental plane, and those represented by it often put all material things to the side, not because they have to, but because they wish to do so. The vibration of the 30 can be all-powerful, but it is often indifferent, according to the will of the entity it reflects. The energy tends to favor taciturn loners, those preferring to be alone with their own thoughts. The 30 will indulge in the experiences that life has to offer, but also desire to retreat from society as well when needed. 30 doesn’t deny happiness or success, but fulfillment is more often found in retreating from the chaos of the market place, so that one’s mental superiority may be used to develop something worthwhile to the world and to write ideas which may change the world and or to protect and develop one’s personal talents, such as art or other gifts. It indicates a lonely, yet frequently rewarding life pattern.” 

So, as we take time to retreat and partake in gratitude, this seemingly small action can truly have one of the biggest affects upon our lives. Even as one opens up to the idea that the act of gratitude creates more love, remember the Word Ponder: Love from 28 Feb 2010 that talks all about how that amore can grant tremendous benefit to any life. Funny, both gratitude and love are different vibrations of the 3: 30 and 21. Both are backed up by The Philosopher planet Jupiter- that jovial, generous, seeking to learn and always aiming to please energy most people prefer to believe in.

As always, the mysteries of Lexigrams provide us with a last piece of star secrets advice about the great word gratitude. By taking the anagrams we can derive from within it, and phrasing them like poetry or prose, we find out some more interesting insight about how we can be all the more victorious within our spiritual lives. Certainly, Rudolf Steiner would more than likely agree gratitude speaks with an uncanny wisdom that we can all truly be grateful for.

GRATITUDE
I TRADE TRITE RAGE

Remembering STEVE JOBS

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Stay hungry. Stay foolish.” 
~Steve Jobs

There aren’t enough words to express the sadness that the world presently is experiencing upon hearing the news that the man who forever changed humanity’s experience with the computer as well as film and animation, born as Steven Paul Jobs on 24 February 1955, has now crossed over in Spirit.

When one returns to earth to live in the blessings of the karmic path 24 Love – Money – Creativity, under a Pisces Sun, the harmony, balance, and beauty that will emerge from the what the imagination can probe and seek out is definitely meant to be astounding. This blend of Venus and Neptune is able to take minute details and create pleasures that will sooth the soul.

Steve Jobs took his 24 Love –Money – Creativity responsibility to heart. He got creative doing what he loved and did he ever watch the money soon follow, while he equally followed the 28 life path of the 1’s The Initiator. The Chaldean Karmic mystery behind the 28’s The Trusting Lamb did see Jobs in some challenges during his 1st Saturn Return with those he trusted by 1985 with all he began at Apple. Yet, he did not falter in continuing on to swim to greater achievements as he entered his 5 Personal Year of blossoming and permanent changes in 1986 when he acquired Lucas Film Ltd, that soon became the legacy of Pixar Animation Studios.

Steven Paul Jobs granted him the Name Expression that guaranteed he would take his creations to the masses as he worked within his career and public life. As the 14/5’s Movement – Challenge promises: “Magnetic communication with the public through writing, publishing and all media-related matters is associated with the 14. There is a risk involved in depending on the word of those who misrepresent a situation. It’s a mistake to rely on others. Rely on the intuition, the self, the voice within. The luck of the 14 includes money dealings and speculative projects, or betting, but there’s always danger of loss due to wrong advice from others, or over confidence.”



Undoubtedly, in combination with his Pisces soul, Jobs learned well from his experience with Apple at 30 years of age about whom he could trust. He had recognized what value there is in listening to his intuition and as he has been known to say, “always connect the dots from your past.” The continued years of success saw him reap achievement after achievement, because he followed the 14’s formula, alongside his 24 karmic path’s request of doing what he loved.

Known to the world as Steve Jobs, this Name Expression did nothing else but bring him to the Universal Nines. The pure 9 here guided his career and public life in another layer that assured aside from the all of his communication to the masses, he would be constantly motivated, and able to lead himself to a celebrity status. It is blatantly obvious from Apple to Pixar, the level of universal energy Jobs has had upon this world, now forever to be seen as an eternal legacy.

Steven Paul Jobs was certainly seen as the best. In a true Lexigram tribute, we honor the story that his birth name is able to affirm about this more than incredible man of imagination and genius. As we take the anagrams that can be derived from it, what a fabulous story of truth do they tell us about a man that left us far too soon.

STEVEN PAUL JOBS

STEVEN’S VESSEL, STEVEN’S SOUL SENT TO AN EVEN LOVE TONE AS STEVE EVOLVE

STEVE SENT TO BLESS APPLE TO BE BEST, TO BEAT ALL ELSE

STEVE TO BE AN APPLE BOSS

STEVE NOT SENT TO BOAST, NOT SENT TO BE A JEALOUS SOUL

STEVE’S NOT ABOUT A LOST PAST, STEVE’S ABOUT A JOB STEVE LOVES

STEVE TO BE BEST AT APPLE’S LEAPS

STEVE PLEASES AS STEVE SEE AN ABLE PASS

EVEN AS STEVE SEE A VETO LOSS UPSET AT APPLE, STEVE SEE A STABLE LOVE

AS STEVE SEES UPSETS, STEVE NOT TO STOP, NOT TO LOSE

STEVE SOLVES AS STEVE VALUES TO BE LOVE

STEVE SENT TO STEP UP TO LOVE TO BE BEST

STEVE SEE A SOUL SPOUSE TO LOVE

EVEN AS STEVE SEE A LAPSE, STEVE SEE AN ABSOLUTE VALUE

STEVE SEE VALUE TO SALUTE A PAST TO BE BEST TO EASE A BLESS

STEVE LEAVES A LOVE TO USE EONS ON

STEVE SET UP A LOVE SO SOULS USE LOVE EONS ON

STEVE SEEN AS A SOUL TO VALUE, TO SALUTE EONS ON

It goes without saying, how much you will be missed Steve Jobs. But, as true Spirit knows, you are not dead, you have only transferred vessels. Your love will never be forgotten, and most certainly, will never again be replicated.

The Brightest of Blessings to you Dear Steve on your journey home.
Namaste and Much Love to you eons on.

Remembering AMY WINEHOUSE

“If I died tomorrow,
I would be a happy girl.”

~Amy Winehouse

The average person may not have been all that surprised to hear that Amy Winehouse passed away earlier this summer. Yet, one cannot help to be saddened by a transition from Spirit that involves the soul not treating their body like a temple. Why was it, that Amy was so terribly troubled when she had such apparent and impressive success?

When she was a mere 24 years old, this Virgo 14 “to the masses” bombshell surely hit it on her star secrets mark as her 4 Grammy nominations turned into awards in 2008. In a 5 Personal Month in January 2007, Winehouse was in a preview of her 5 Personal Year to officially begin later that September, as the world started to see her true talents emerge like never before. Although Black to Black had its’ UK release in October of 2006, it was by early 2007 it truly began to reach international appeal. The momentum she gained throughout 2007 incredibly continued as she celebrated her 23/5 Personal Year that September, blossoming her further, attracting even more handsome attention from the masses.

But as one already knows, Winehouse’s world wasn’t all rosy all the time. Choosing to marry long before her 1st Saturn Return, (for any soul, happens at 28-30yrs old, when one acquires the life experience to make educated life long choices), she paired up and explored the trails and errors of a relationship involved with drug abuse. Here is where we see one choice that her free-will made that undeniably altered her fate.

While the Karmic Path of the 14’s Movement – Challenge is known to dabble in things that dilute the senses, the preferred outcome of this number is to have a positive the influence over the masses. It isn’t any surprise Amy made herself a household name at such a young age. The singular 5 here also grants her the innate ability to be talented in the realms of communication. Couple this with her native Virgo sun and her song writing skills were certainly unsurpassed.

At the very beginning of her current 9 year cycle that wasn’t able to be completed, Winehouse began it all with the album Frank in October 2003. Having just entered a 1 Personal Year, here is where she planted all the seeds in the garden she tended to over the years to follow. She received plenty of recognition in the UK for this achievement including BRIT Awards and platinum sales. By October 2006, in a 5 Personal Month, Black to Black was released as she lived out her final foundation laying 4 Personal Year. As her roots became firmly planted, all was set into place for her explosion at the 2008 Grammy Awards, oddly enough, by the numbers, to be the 50th ones ever held.

As we wrote in our “Hats Off to Amy Winehouse” on 11 February, 2008:
A word to the wise Amy, your 14 Karmic Path soul really isn’t a big fan of those drugs and abuse, you’ve truly already got all the natural energy you need with Mercury’s guidance. You’ll be onward with your self-discovery until your 1st Saturn Return begins in late 2012, you may just need to figure all that out on your own. Saturn still is requesting you do what’s right and play by the rules in the meantime as he visits your native sun sign from September of 2007 and will be in close watch until the fall of 2009.

While Amy did survive the transit of fatherly Saturn through her Virgo Sun Sign (which sits in her natal 5th house of her birth chart guiding her creative identity- and ability to shine on stage), Saturn was still visiting this piece of her Zodiac Pie for a long time to come. When one has a 5th house than spans from 19 degrees Virgo to 06 degrees Scorpio, a transit like Saturn’s will be casting the air of being responsibility here for a number of years.

There isn’t a doubt that Amy’s free-will choose to not listen to the wisdom that Saturn was trying to bring her. Instead of listening to patience and learning from prior experience in her life, the cast of Saturn brought forth a complete sense of restriction that she gravitated to. It was sadly witnessed in the weeks preceding her death, that her stage presence -which was normally a blessing for her- was nothing short of disastrous, and she barely performed with her typical awesome potential.

Today, Amy would have officially entered a 9 Personal Year, one that could have taken her to the true “Universal Nines.” 2010 marked her entrance into the 8 Personal Year, one where she ultimately should have been reaping a grand harvest from her previous 7. Yet, in one’s 8 year, hard work and discipline must accompany the rewards and recognition one is to receive, as Saturn is also the planet that guides this numbers’ request. Perhaps, it was too much for Amy to bear, what responsibility was being asked of her, as she was also walking down the 35/8 Lifepath as a Virgo 14 born in 1983. Yes, Saturn was always asking Amy for her wisdom.

As always when it comes to our names, we are granted further clues as to why a soul will live out the story that they come here in Spirit to share within another journey on earth through the uncanny wisdom of Lexigrams. This star secret, once again, equally affirms that the letters composing a name -when anagramed and phrased like poetry or prose- are able to shed light on the truth of the matter. Like Jim, Jimi, and Janis before her, Amy Jade Winehouse was never to see her 1st Saturn Return.

AMY JADE WINEHOUSE

AMY IS A JEWISH WOMAN
AMY IS IN A MANY HANDSOME WINS
SEEM AMY IN AN EASE AS AMY WINS
AMY IS AN AWESOME SHOWMAN
AMY IS IN A MANY MAIN MONEY MOUNDS

Thank You for all of your awesome gifts while you were here with us Amy. As you have gone back to black, may you still have extreme courage and light to guide your wisdom and Spirit in a brand new way.

Remembering 9/11 Under the Pisces Full Moon

“Be silent, like a fish. “ ~Rumi

As we celebrate 2011’s Full Moon in Pisces, when the collective swims with the endless possibilities of The Fishes, we are equally in deep reflection of the 10th Anniversary of the fateful day of 9/11/2001. As a whole each one of us are undeniably within this present lunation bringing forth the energy of resurfacing the past: something Pisces is well noted to do. The most positive attribute Pisces brings to our choices is equally the ability to heal in our retrospection.

So how can the fullness of Pisces ultimately help us heal and engage in helping align our emotions at this time? Think of their symbol the fish, as they swim in the myriad of choices within any given ocean. How do you think they make the right choices for themselves, in the course of nature? The Fish, as do many of our animals and any non-speaking living being, keep it real simple. The Fish takes in a LISTEN to know what to do.

Listening is a skill that we are introduced to learn early on in our lives, and it is one skill that carries on through the end of any life. While we are told to be SILENT, we are in essence being ask to LISTEN. You really can’t really do one without the other.

Pisces is a tricky energy however to ideally be still within. When you have the planet of emotion -the Moon- transiting through a mutable water sign and allowing release here, one most certainly may feel the last thing they wish to be is still. However, finding a place to be in a LISTEN to the intuition to what silence can bring anyone is a remarkable experience. Whether it is a Full Moon in Pisces or not, how often can you look around and say you are absolutely SILENT?

So, the time is now, to not only honor the Pisces area within our birth charts, but that of what requires empathy surrounding us and collectively LISTEN to what is happening here. When you give yourself the time to be SILENT; then see what comes in when you ask for insight and clarity for the best choice to make here. As you then ENLIST IT and LET IT IN, the mystery remains to unfold as the ocean continuously brings its’ endless possibilities.

What’s even most favorable is the potential of numerological energy than can unfold when one decides to ENLIST IN a SILENT LISTEN. It is a blessing to be in the presence of the 21 and the gifts of ‘The Crown of the Magi” are bestowed upon any of these three intentions. As the Chaldeans so deeply understood: “21 is pictured as “The Universe,” and also is called “The Crown of the Magi.” It promises general success, and guarantees advancement, honors, awards, and general elevation in the life and career. It indicates victory after a long struggle, for the “Crown of the Magi” is gained only after long initiation, much soul testing and various other tests of determination. However, the person or entity blessed with the number 21 may be certain of final victory over all odds and all opposition.”

Undoubtedly, as we reflect upon all that has transpired in the last 10 years, there are many conclusions we are asked to arrive at as the Universe grants this present 9/11 anniversary in 2011. Time in silent acts allows us to heal the tests of our soul and any odds and opposition we may have encountered. As the tragic and somber memories of the past swirl around in our emotional landscapes, remembering to be still is one of the most beneficial choices any of us can make.

We can find amazing gratification down here below when we honor the Universe’s gifts from above. This Full Moon in Pisces presents us with a tremendous opportunity to receive inner guidance if we let it.

I don’t know about you, but having a LISTEN, and choosing to ENLIST and LET IT SIT IN a SILENT time sure sounds worth it to me.

Namaste Dear Stars.

HAPPY NEW YEAR America!

HAPPY
NEW
YEAR

AMERICA!

The United States of America has seen more than it’s fair share of changes since the last time it celebrated its’ birth upon 04 July 2010. Whether viewed as good or bad, these alterations are part of the journey that the nation is meant to experience within the Current 9 Year Cycle it is presently circulating through.

Like the irreversible and permanent changes that fell for the United States in 2001, when it was last in a 5 Personal Year, the action seen over 2010’s year in the life, were undeniably marked with movement and furthering from the new beginnings that were implemented in 2006. As 2005’s 4th of July was celebrated, the entrance into the 9 Personal Year brought many conclusions, finalizations and endings to the nation.

Ultimately, what cleared over 2005, made room for the seeds that were then planted in 2006. Now, by the 6 Personal Year’s request in 2011, it’s time to bring forth some necessary balance to enter the picture after 2010’s stirs of change. What is of absolute certainty -as it was in 2001, what that unfolded for the United States within 2010- there is no going back to what the USA once thought it knew.

The United States, as a Sun Sign Cancer combined with a 4 Karmic Path, walks down the Lifepath of the 32’s Communication, equally guided by the Messenger planet Mercury himself through the singular 5. Destined from the start in 1776, there isn’t a doubt how this energy has collectively worked for the nation at large. Looking at the course of history, it’s been one source of movement and versatility coming from the USA after another. Said the Chaldeans of the 32:

“This Compound Number has the same magical power to sway masses of people as the 14, the same help from those in high positions as the 23. Add all this to the natural ability to charm others with magnetic speech, and it’s clear why 32 is sometimes known, by modernizing the symbolism of the ancients as “the politicians vibration.” The complexities of advertising, writing, publishing, radio, television are not always, but usually are an open book to the 32 person, who tends to work well under pressure. But there’s a warning note sounded within this seemingly happy melody. 32 is a very fortunate number if the person it represents holds inflexibility to his or her own opinions and judgment in both artistic or intangible and material matters. If not, the plans are liable to be wrecked by the stubbornness and stupidity of others.”

Think the USA has those bases covered nicely from the intense presence it has had upon the masses within the world- one can not question the influence its’ politicians have equally had, whether you agree with their party or not. While the USA is meant to have its’ hands in multiple things, allowing others to be part of the decision making process typically results in poor outcomes.

As America now welcomes the 6 Personal Year, hearty congratulations is to be extended for surviving all of the changes that last years’ 5 stirring energies brought to the plate. Collectively as a nation, it will be time to embrace the influence of harmony over the next 12 months in the life.

Readjustments in values -especially those within the family- will be requested, as well as the opportunity to bring some needed balance back into the life after the movement and permanent changes that have just occurred. Remember, the new beginnings from 2006 wish to now move optimally forward. Now that the mid way point of the current 9 yr cycle has occurred, keep in mind, there is no reversing the changes that unfolded within 2010 until now.

Aside from artistic and romantic themes, all kinds of relationships formed within this 6 personal year will end up serving The United States for years to come, so our politicians are wise to choose them well, and allow diplomacy to be their guiding light. Adhering to compassion, feminine energy, and wisdom about money will serve any American well until the next 4th of July is celebrated in 2012. Time devoted to nature wherein one can calm the emotions are also smart ways to choose to spend it.

Be sure to equally note the new energy coming from the Solar Eclipse 01 July, which asked for fresh starts in how the world takes the USA in, those first impressions and the entire understanding of “I am.” It’s time to put on a fresh new mask to world America- so don’t be afraid: “If it is new, it is for you.”

Astrologically, America is currently experiencing it’s own Saturn Return just like any human does. This is the couple year period surrounding 28-30, 58-60, and 88-90 yrs of age throughout our short lifetime. When looking to the lifespan of a country, this will keep happening every 28-30 years. Saturn sits at 14 degrees Libra in the USA’s natal 10th house of Career and Public Life, where it is also now currently transiting at 10 degrees, and about to conjunct the natal Saturn once more upon 21 to 30 August, when it will reach 14 degrees Libra.

Jobs will continue to become a source of restriction and realignment. The USA’s presence in the world economy and how it is viewed by the public will equally see it’s restructuring, as the lessons needing to be learned here will continue to let themselves teach the masses what they are meant to know. Whenever we look to Saturn- all is not to be feared. Yet, being responsible to wherever Saturn is presently transiting is wise to choose.

The United States is within a slow and patient process of restructuring its’ job sector, and how the public views it for it’s toil and ambition. What we once knew as comfortable and secure here is changing, and it order for us to move forward optimally past this present Saturn Return as a nation, we cannot expect to go back. It’s time for something different to unveil itself.

As 2010’s energies brought in swift change, we are surrounded by the request now of Venus to truly take a look at both sides of any issue within the year ahead before making important decisions. Venus also is in total favor that once properly accessed, we let love guide our true outcomes. Choices made in any other intention, may not reap positive results.

In the end, what the USA may value most is the realization that harmony does not come from the realms of money at all. Going back to how important being in nature is within the year ahead, here is where any American is meant to take some necessary time to learn. The true meaning behind compassion in all of its’ forms brings a multitude of things to ponder through 04 July 2012. Balance well, America.

Word Ponder: Solitude

Taking time alone is a genuine gift to embrace within any life, in essence it is our souls’ true lifelong homework. When we choose to engage in our own personal sharpening of the inner saw, some amazing things can happen for us. Yet, why are so many people seemingly afraid of being alone in this day and age?

By definition, Solitude can mean:
1. the state of being alone, separated from other people, whether considered as a welcome freedom from disturbance or as an unhappy loneliness

2. a quality of remote quietness or seclusion in places from which human activity is generally absent

3. a remote or uninhabited place

What some people -based on a programmed belief that allows them to fear being alone- completely miss when they deny themselves this healthy time to clear out within their lives, is actually the perfect chance to create some real enchantment for themselves. The Name Expression (the numerological calculation of the value of the letters composing it) that guides the very word of Solitude is the Chaldean’s brilliant understanding of the 33, that of Love and Magic. Said the Chaldeans of the 33:“This carries the same vibration as the 24 – except that the magic of love, the extent of originality and creativity, and the promise of eventual financial success are deepened and increased. Due to the double 3, these entities are more fortunate in every way when involved in a harmonious partnership of some kind with the opposite sex, which applies to the career as well as romantic and marital relationships. This a number of well-deserved karmic reward. The 33 vibration is advised not to abuse the astounding luck which will descend on them at sometime during the life by allowing it to tempt them into laziness, overconfidence, and a feeling of superiority. When a sense of humor and genuine humility accompany the 33 vibration, it’s a wonderfully fortunate number.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs

The 24 represents Love – Money – Creativity, which is a rich source of understanding than if one does what they truly love in life, focus upon their creativity, it’s practically a fool-proof formula that brings forth the likes of one of Venus’s favorites: money. Looking to both of these 6 vibrations, it is Venus who is in charge of anyone’s solitary moments.

Knowing the presence of Neptune over the 7 vibrations, (who seemingly can’t get enough of their alone time), one might think Solitude should tick to something like a 34 Name Expression instead. Why give the credit to Venus?

Venus is the planet that governs over harmony, peace, balance, and negotiations. No fan of lies or arguments, she’ll run for the hills to stay away from them. Also noting Venus’s appreciation of beauty and nature, one cannot deny the relationship that can be gained within the self if we choose to spend our solitary moments with Dear Old Momma Nature herself.

Time alone can bring forth such unity within our life, especially in our present day. The world we all co-exist within is filled with multitudes of choices that allow us all to attach and attract so much to us that we don’t even necessarily need. When we all keep going in the hustle and bustle pace of modern day society, it is without question a disconnection is happening for human beings everywhere.

Solitude is here to save the day and rescue our souls when we decide to step away from the intense buzz of life. Vibrating as a Master Number 33, aside from the Love and Magic, it is here to equally teach us from the two 3’s that compose it. Personal growth, learning, and honing in on what we wish to believe as our individual wisdom are all qualities guiding the 3. Unite these two 3’s together, and Venus’s harmony and peace can be a most pleasant outcome.

What else does Solitude have to say to us? Lexigrams, the poetic tale the anagrams tell from any word or title, provide further insight that is uncannily on target with what can happen to anyone when their free will decides to take that time to be in those silent listens.

SOLITUDE

I LET IT SIT, I IDLE SO I SITE SOUL TOIL
I LOSE, I OUST TIES TO OUTSIDE LIES
I SIT SO I LET OLD LIES DIE
IT IS TEDIOUS TO SIT, TO LET IT LOSE
LET a SOUL TIE IT TO SOLID TOIL DUTIES
DUEL LIES USE US, SOIL US DUE TO STOLID TIES
OLD LIES TOLD TO US LET US DIE
DILUTE LIES TO LET a LOST SOUL OUT
I EDIT: I LET LIES DUEL TO DIE TO DUST
I SLIDE TO SOLID SOUL TIES
I DO, I DO LET SOLID SOUL TIES OUT TO IDOL
LET’S USE a LOUD LOTUS TO LITE US TO LOTS O’ SOLID TIES

ANTHONY WEINER: NOT A HOT WINNER WHEN HE TWEET

Remember when another politician not so long ago from New York, by the name of ELIOT LAURENCE SPITZER: LET PROSTITUTION RUIN A POLITICAL CAREER?

Here we are again folks. Like New York’s former Governor, who was in a current 7 Personal Year of self-work and “sharpening of the inner saw” when he got exposed, we now find New York’s Senator ANTHONY DAVID WEINER, in the very same 7 Personal Year Cycle. Rather than possibly pay attention to this request from his star secrets, Weiner blissfully choose to go viral anyway with a personal obsession. This is costing him a plenty right before his approaching 8 Personal Year when he was about to harvest some reward and recognition from the previous 7.

While the scandal has been the media’s latest fixation since the story broke in late May, it wasn’t until Wednesday evening upon the 15 June, that 04 September born Virgo native Weiner decided it was best that he resign from office. Why now? Well, aside from those numbers, astrology can also provide some answers here.

Not only did we have a Full Moon upon 15 June, there was a Lunar Eclipse as well, illuminating within the sign of Sagittarius. For any Virgo, this pattern of energy requests for a completion within the home and family life -while in opposition- the Career and Public Life looks to find the necessary balance.

One of the longest Lunar Eclipses in about a decade, its’ affects promise to be all the more intense and strongly felt. Coupled with the Full Moon, the pair kicked off at 24-degrees Sagittarius. Nearby, what is known as the North and South Nodes in current transit, also were at 23-degrees Sagittarius and Gemini, respectively.

The North and South Nodes always, like the natural pull of a Full Moon, present us with an opportunity to create balance within our lives. While these periods are quite long, lasting about 18 months, where the North is in current transit is where an ultimate focus should be applied so clarity can be attained here. Looking to the South, more of a reflective and passive approach should be cast upon this area to bring harmony to what is currently occurring from the North Node’s request.

While we could not verify an actual birth time for Weiner, to examine an exact natal chart, something hints terribly at him having a late degree Scorpio Rising, which could put his natal Virgo Sun in the 10th house of ambition and work. He’s not exactly your typical shy Virgo by any means. (With a natal Leo Moon, he certainly hasn’t minded the spotlight in life.) Scorpio but of course is the sexual and power oriented sign.

Having that Scorpio Rising also could place those North and South Node current transits in opposition to his 2nd house of values/earning power and the 8th of sexuality/transformation. Hmmmmm…. Aside from that current 7 Year of inner work, Saturn would also be requesting the same of him by its’ current transit in Libra.

Diving further into Weiner’s current dilemma, there is some affirming energy as well behind his name. With a 14/5 Name Expression of Movement –Challenge he does have a magnetism that grants him the ability to sway the masses easily within his career. Yet, as the 14 also warns: “There is a risk involved in depending on the word of those who misrepresent a situation. It’s a mistake to rely on others. Rely on the intuition, the self, the voice within. The luck of the 14 includes money dealings and speculative projects, or betting, but there’s always danger of loss due to wrong advice from others, or over confidence.”

By now, it is without question Weiner was just a teeny-weeny bit over confident about his own. What a loss when one should be paying closer attention to their soul and spirit.

Like Spitzer, ANTHONY DAVID WEINER can tell the tale right from the name as Lexigrams are here to lend us more conclusive evidence of their validity. Once again, the anagrams that can be derived from the letters within a name, oddly enough, when phrased together, reveal the truth that has been hiding right in front of us. Happy Healing Anthony, you have until September to accomplish this task now… Your Stars highly recommend you start with the heart.
