NorthPoint Astrology Journal: Your weekly guide to planetary influences April 1 to 7, 2019 by Pam Younghans

NorthPoint Astrology Journal Your weekly guide to planetary influences April 1 to 7, 2019 by Pam Younghans Aspects of Note This Week   All times listed are Pacific Daylight Time. For Greenwich Mean Time, add 7 hours.    MON: Moon square Mars 9:45 a.m. PDT TUE: Mercury conjunct Neptune, Venus semisquare Pluto WED: Mars sextile Chiron THU: Pluto conjunct South Node 12:17 p.m. PDT FRI: New Moon 1:50 a.m. PDT SUN: Mercury sextile Saturn, Mars sesquiquadrate Saturn APRIL is a time of sharp contrasts. The planetary events this month are one of the main reasons I entitled my recent webinar "Into the Heart," because it is during this month that we are most likely to become aware of issues that are at the heart of current challenges. We are also called to become more heart-centered in how we approach those concerns.   Our experiences this first week of the month will give us a good idea of what we will be working with throughout the next thirty days. We will want to pay particular attention to occurrences on Thursday and Friday this week, as indicators of key themes that will be with us for at least a fortnight, if not longer.   WE START the week on a quieter note, with no major aspects and the Moon in subdued Pisces on Monday. How appropriate that the Moon is in the sign that specializes in illusions on April Fools' Day! If planning a practical joke, be aware that not everyone will respond kindly, especially around the time of Luna's square to Mars in Gemini (9:45 a.m.).   A Mercury-Neptune alignment occurs in the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday (2:36 a.m. PDT), energetically bridging Monday and Tuesday. This alignment in Pisces inspires a rather mystical or creative Monday evening. It can enhance our intuition and our imagination, as well as our ability to receive messages from spirit throughout our dreamtime and in our meditations.   THE WIND SHIFTS as early as Tuesday, when a Venus-Pluto semisquare is in effect. The tension of this aspect, which calls our core values into question, is felt in our relationships and in our pocketbook, areas ruled by Venus.   Wednesday's Mars-Chiron sextile is an opportunity to reinforce our knowing of our ability to be strong in the face of chaenges. This is a healing aspect, designed to be encouraging and uplifting, if we take the time to tap into its potentials.   PLUTO'S alignment with the South Node on Thursday is the big event of the week, and perhaps of the month. The effects of this joining are not limited to the one day, but Thursday is the day that Pluto and the South Node are both at exactly the same degree, at 23°03′ Capricorn.   As Lord of the Underworld, Pluto oversees the greatest transition we make as humans, that of death of the physical body. But Pluto rules far more than literal death -- he also rules the transition process that occurs whenever something has reached the end of its viable life span, and must change form.   Pluto's energies are currently focused on the transformation of those areas ruled by the sign Capricorn, which includes governments, politicians, economies, social structures, corporations, and authority figures. In particular, Pluto is revealing ways in which society and governments have abused authority, ignored the plight of those who require protection, or otherwise strayed from highest integrity. It exposes the behind-the scenes strategies of those in power who have yet to learn the lessons of the heart.   THE SOUTH NODE is the Keeper of the Cosmic Law. By the sign it transits, it shows us where we are dealing with karmic issues that require our attention and resolution. The South Node has been in Capricorn since last November, calling us to dismantle old patterns of fear, cynicism, and pessimism. These attitudes are the Achilles' heel of our progress, and must be evolved both personally and globally.   The South Node in Capricorn also reveals how we have allowed the need for control to undermine our capacity for caring. Under severe challenges, it is common to steel ourselves off from the deeper emotions we are feeling. We resist being truly vulnerable, perhaps seeing it as a sign of weakness, but also fearing that if we truly allow ourselves to experience the true depth of our emotions, we will be taken advantage of.   We may also fear that the feelings will be more than we can handle, and that we will never again emerge from their grasp once they are allowed to come forth. And so, we protect ourselves. We close off our capacity to feel our deepest emotions, which eventually also closes our hearts to the needs of others.   WE MIGHT CONSIDER this lack of empathy to be a core issue that we are dealing with in today's society, and we wouldn't be wrong. But, since each of us believes ourselves to be caring and empathetic, and that it's the "others" that are the problem, "What's a mother to do?"   In essence, Pluto conjunct the South Node is uncovering anywhere that we are choosing fear over trust, separation over connection, suspicion over appreciation, materialism over heart-centeredness, and pessimism over inspiration. This revelation is occurring for all of us -- not just those "others" who we can clearly see making these unevolved choices on a regular basis.   As we work with whatever issues come forth this week and this month, our challenge is to become more openhearted, not less. We may experience the bitter taste of fear and cynicism, but we do not need to let it flavor every meal. If we allow emotional wounds to harden into scars, we will simply be reinforcing the cold-heartedness that we see in the world -- the very qualities which injured us in the first place. THE NEW MOON on Friday occurs when the Sun and Moon align at 15°17′ Aries, at 1:50 a.m. PDT. This lunation is notable primarily because it reinforces many of the themes we've just been discussing. In the chart for the New Moon, the Sun and Moon form a cardinal T-square with Pluto, the South Node, and Saturn in Capricorn, and the North Node in Cancer. In other words, it triggers the energies of that Pluto-South Node alignment and adds Saturn's influence to the mix as well. To quote myself (!), I wrote in my forecast column for The Mountain Astrologer that with Saturn's involvement: "Chickens come home to roost; the repercussions of our actions (or inactions) can no longer be ignored. Whatever Pluto has revealed, Saturn brings into sharp relief."   IN ESSENCE, this is the energy of April. It will be strong throughout the month, but especially this first week when Pluto aligns with the South Node, and again in the last week, when Saturn exactly aligns with the South Node (on April 30).   As beings who are aware, it is up to us to hold the higher intentions of this time, to consciously choose trust over fear, connection over separation, appreciation over suspicion, heart-centeredness over materialism, and inspiration over pessimism -- in every area of our life experience.   Into the heart we go ...   IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: This year, you are challenged to get very clear on what you truly want and what you need to do to make it your reality. It is not a time for wishful thinking, but for patient planning. This is energy you work with every seven to eight years, and it provides the opportunity for a course correction, if needed. Any seeds planted now will take until the fall to sprout, giving you plenty of time to do all the necessary work of preparation. (Solar Return Sun square Saturn) In Gratitude and Light,   Pam   Copyright NorthPoint Astrology 2019. All Rights Reserved.  About the NorthPoint Journal   Astrologer Pam Younghans writes this NorthPoint Astrology Journal based on planetary influences and guidance received.

John Smallman: Relax, allow Life to flow – you cannot stop It or change Its direction – and enjoy what arises.

Relax, allow Life to flow – you cannot stop It or change Its direction – and enjoy what arises.

05/04/2017 by John Smallman

  Saul Audio Blog for Thursday May 4th

Love is not giving up on people!  There is only Love, as you all well know even if you choose not to acknowledge It, so to give up on It is to pretend that you are not alive, is to close your eyes and go to sleep thus refusing to acknowledge Reality.  That is what humanity has been doing for eons by loading itself with extremely negative self-judgments while it has been playing its games within the illusion that it constructed to experience separation.  The experience of separation was only meant to be momentary, and in truth it was, that unreal state was terminated but an instant after it was imagined into being.  But humanity, you, were captivated and fascinated by it, by being free to play with it and cause mayhem and confusion which were totally at odds with Reality, totally different from anything you had ever encountered, strange, exciting, and challenging.


But then you got lost in the dream you had made and were unable to find your way Home.  It was a little like entering a Halloween stage or movie set and finding yourselves in almost complete darkness, enveloped in clinging cobwebs as strange flying things brushed across your faces and pulled at your hair.  At first it was fun, but Creepy!  And then it appeared to become increasingly real, and you became terrified, you panicked and started attacking everything within reach.


And it is from that dismal and unhappy dream that you are in the process of waking up.  As you do so remnants of the dream, or more realistically the nightmare, flow through your consciousness as weird and unsettling sounds and images.  Do not dwell on them, they are merely unwanted egoic distractions, distractions from your awakening process, so just let them go.  You could think of them as your core issues – issues of pain and suffering from the past buried deeply within your psyche, unacknowledged or denied because they are so painful – that are breaking into your awareness so that you can release them and yourselves from the negative energies on which they feed.


Everyone is dealing with this ancient and buried stuff as part of the awakening process.  Holding onto the angers, bitterness, hatreds, and the resentments that they represent keeps you in the nightmare attempting to resolve them.  There is no need to resolve them, in fact they cannot be resolved, so just acknowledge them, forgive those you believe caused them, and yourselves, and let them go.  They will only stay with you if you continue to dwell on them – hold onto them while thinking about them and apportioning blame amongst those you believe responsible for your pain – after they have arisen to be released or dissipated.
Letting them go will bring you an enormous sense of relief, rather like when a police car, all lights and sirens blaring, appears behind you on the highway . . . and then passes rapidly by on its way to catch some other miscreant.  And that sense of relief will last because you will no longer be shouldering the burden, the weight of that ancient baggage.  Baggage you never needed but with which you chose to burden yourselves.
You are all the beloved children of God, and you are all in the process of awakening from the nightmare of separation and unreality which presents itself to each of you quite differently and independently because it is attempting to prove to each one of you that you are separate and alone.


If what you are experiencing is different from what everyone else is experiencing, and that certainly seems to be the case – obviously your experience is much more intense and painful than anyone else’s – then there remains no doubt in your mind that you are a separate being.  And separate beings have to stand up and take care of themselves – look after # 1 – because no one else will or can, even your most dearly loved partners.  You are alone, and death proves that without a shadow of a doubt, because in the end everyone dies, there is no return from it.  And no one has returned to report about it.  It’s not a wonder that, collectively, you have chosen to awaken.
The good news is that you have unlimited resources to assist you in your awakening process – help on a grand scale – because as well as all of us in the spiritual realms who are watching over you in every moment, and answering your calls for help and guidance, everyone whom you meet and interact with in any way at all in your daily lives is on your path in that moment, and can and will help you if you are open to the Love that surrounds you all constantly.  In human terms it may not seem like help in the moment that it occurs, but when you reflect honestly afterwards you can see there was a lesson to be learnt to move you further along your Homeward path.
In every moment you are being helped if you choose to be open to it.  But frequently you entertain preconceived notions of how help should appear and fail to see the help that is there, because you are attempting to control life instead of accepting what arises.  Life always flows at Its own pace, you just need to accept that instead of trying to change it.  “Going with the flow” is a very wise and enlightened approach for humans to take, and when they do, and accept whatever arises, they find the flow is far less turbulent than when they try to direct it, because then there is less conflict and it is conflict that causes turbulence.
God is with you everywhere, in every moment, and He, the Source, Mother/Father/God, wants only for you be in joy.  When you surrender your will to His – in truth your will is aligned with His because you are One with Him – and accept what arises you will deal far more easily and effectively with whatever issues and problems do arise in your daily human lives.  You are always where you are meant to be because you designed a path to follow, with divine assistance, before you incarnated as a human.  To be apparently off your path or diverging from it are just the results of trying to direct life in the direction that you egoically think it is meant to be moving.
When you stop attempting to direct and control the flow of life and instead just allow it, you will find it far easier to deal with whatever arises for you because you will have far more energy, energy that previously you would have been using to change the unchangeable, and in the process exhausting yourselves both physically and emotionally.  Attempting to control the flow of life, even if you think it is “your,” life can never work because you remain almost completely unaware of the multitude of influences at work on it.  There is only One Life!  And that is God, Source, Mother/Father/God, of which every single conscious entity is an inseparable and essential part.
Relax, allow Life to flow – you cannot stop It or change Its direction – and enjoy what arises.  You can choose to enjoy It or you can choose to find fault with it; it is always your choice, and you have all experienced the vast difference in personal feelings and emotional responses that occur when choosing between finding fault with what arises or accepting and enjoying the moment that arises.
You cannot control the life flow, but you can control your choices and responses to it!  And those choices directly affect how you feel in the moment.  You are all very powerful beings, divine children, so use your power to bring you peace and joy.  When you do you directly affect everyone with whom you interact in that moment.  You have all also been aware at times of how your moods affect others in your vicinity.  So choose joy and watch it engage very positively with those around you!
With so very much love, Saul.

The Energies of the 11:11 Portal a message from Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

The Energies of the 11:11 Portal
a message from Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
Friday, 7 November, 2014


The energies of the 11:11 portal are accentuated as Mother Nature becomes all she has secretly desired to be. Allow the pulsing of your human earth-blood and the sound of your breath to be heard as music. You exist multi-dimensionally. All of your actions of earth are as a centerpiece a lazy-Susan that spins as each energy surge elevates earth changing her. You are an intersection of dimensional fluxes and experiences. All of your choices here on earth also influence the outcomes of other stellar and bio-cellular experiences. All avenues of time and space deliver you messages, incoming and out going.


As you sit at the energy doorway of 11:11, you will become a deciding factor. You have been told since time began that ye are Gods in swaddling clothes. Earth is A place where those that are destined for greatness meet to play and manifest.


As you stand in this Creational portal there will be no more excuses. There will be no more victims. Everything that you do in upcoming time influences the outcome of events to be seen. Every negative thought that you have about yourself or others shifts the scales of polarity in a to and fro experience.


Every positive thought that you have shifts in accordance with your energy interpretation of events. No longer are you at the mercy of others. All of life and light sits and awaits your actions, your thoughts, and your interpretation. In the mind fields of human evolvement, there is a tendency for you to hold on to what keeps you afloat.


All 11:11 doorways since 1992 continually intensify in accordance with earths needs. Like one who stands in front of an automatic door walking back and forth pondering, should they enter or should they exit. You no longer have the luxury of playing with those automatic doors of expansion and contraction, Your every word, your every thought; your every intention is received. Octaves of what is hidden reveals itself as a scroll that is rolled out to be read in the language of the heart, not understood by the eyes. Everything holds a holy composition within it.


It is time to make internal peace. It is necessary before you can ever see the external peace that you so seek. Another cannot birth peace for you, only self has that ability. It is time for you to enter all that you have held secret and sacred within yourselves. Everything that you seek lives within the cellular memory and the DNA composition.


On 11:11 God will take a very deep inhale reaching deep into all of his creations. As this occurs on the out breath of the Universe a deep liberation will occur, releasing several levels of psychic, mental, and physical debris. The universe is cleansing many layers of your being, loosening and redistributing blocks so that can easily be dismissed on the next inhale of the Creator. In other words, all that is solid and dank and dark within you is breathed loving and exquisitely by the prime creator back into itself. The angers that have been keeping you down and stagnant will be lifted.


The reason for the heaviness of self as of late has to do with the many portions of you that have gathered as a depository. They migrate to a magnetic point in your physical body. From this magnetic point, they will exit and be sent to Prime Creator. Not only will this be experienced within the physical body, but it will also be experienced within the planetary body, the planetary emotional body, and the planetary memory body. For Earth herself will be lifted out of the ever clinging memory of the tar pit of death and annihilation that has happened throughout time. The Prime Creator, the Universe will escort this back into original source to be purified recycled and used again.


The Prime Creator is taking the thickness of the energies and birthing new universes. He/She/They run a little bit short on the very fabric of livingness and the atomic structure of what has been created. So He/She/They take from the stockpile of humanness and earth, the thickest and darkest of all and bring it into a formation that is beyond your measure of beauty.


With this knowing allow this coagulation to happen within your body. You may have pains that come and go in the body, in the heart memories, in the heaviness of all emotion, but it gathers to be birthed anew into a new universe. So the very fabric of your being and all that you have been through time after time as well as all Mother Earth has endured, will be birthed into beautiful cellular structures of baby light and beginning life in another part of God, and you will be part of that.


As a gift for allowing all of this to take place (as if you needed a gift for releasing all of this thick emotional debris) you will be lifted several levels of light towards Ascension. This will be equal to climbing a mountain of 5500 feet and looking over your world with a gentle knowing and a heavenly appreciation of everything that has brought you to be who you are now.


It takes more molecules to create anger, than it does a joy. It takes more molecules to hold disease within a body than it does to heal it. All that is holy is very light and non-fattening. I ask you to allow the Creator to breathe you in deeply. Feel yourself being lifted by this holy breath. Allow the out breath to bring you into the expansion that you so seek.


As all of this is happening you may find a lightness of head and vertigo of nature. You may find emotional surges come forth to you in great tears and fears. You will feel the presence of the holy ones as they stand by your side. You will be alleviated of what has stuck to your soul as tar and feathers for so many existences.

A short update on the energies~ by Aisha North on September 15, 2014

Channelings and words of inspiration

A short update on the energies
~ by Aisha North on September 15, 2014


"As many of you have noticed the amplitude is once again increasing as we all prepare you for that incoming blast of light that will once again envelop your entire planet in this upcoming period. For as many of you know, you are approaching an important time of your year, when you once again enter what we like to call a focal point of energies. For what you call your Equinox is once again approaching, and with it, a whole new set of coordinates will come into being.

You see, this period will this time also come accompanied by a whole host of energetic messengers that will serve to strengthen the foundations for all those seeking balance while at the same time serve to further destabilize those still intent on creating fear in the hearts and minds of humanity. And so, that rift between the two worlds will once again widen, and for those trying to straddle this expanse, the ensuing confusion will also increase.

In other words, make sure to prepare yourselves for this incoming light by consciously going through your entire list of fixations, and we do mean that in a very broad way. For what needs to be fixed should be looked at in this upcoming period, and when we say fix, it is intended to cover the entire gamut from severance of old ties, finalisation and closure, and all the way to fixing up solid anchorage to the new. And so, what may seem to be a long list of contradictions will eventually clarify your situation more and more as you begin to survey the scene that lies before you. Are you entirely free from any old inhibitors, or have some of them started to resurface again? And if they have, have you realised the reason for it, or has your mind started to play out the same old tales of disbelief and diminishment?

You see, as these incoming energies continue to squeeze and pull at you, it will also continue to extract the old and outdated juices if you will, and so, you may all at some time get that lingering sour taste of yesteryear in your mouth. But again it is essential to understand that this is all about extraction, and so, whatever may surface is doing so in order to make it disappear from your foundation, but in doing so, it may serve to confuse you even further. For this time, it serves you all to keep in mind that this is not for you to hold on to and scrutinize, no matter how foul a taste it will leave as it exist you being. No, this is simply something that you need to sever any attachment at all to in order to clarify you for that next step of final separation that looms ahead.

For now, so much will begin to leave your being it may be likened to veritable storm of confusing emotions for many of you, and so, we will once again repeat our old message of maintaining your focus on your inner being, not on your immediate surroundings where more chaos may erupt at any moment. For this period will serve to convince many of you that you might be losing the grip on yourself, but try to keep in mind that if you do, it is because you are meant to. For what you need to lose grip on, is everything that is being pushed out to the very perimeter of your existence in order for it to be able to exit your field completely, and so, if you try to catch it in the flight as it were you will simply delay the departure. And doing that will also serve to increase your bewilderment as soon as the ship you have bordered begins to drift ever further out into those clear blue waters of tomorrow.

For what is leaving you now is something you will need to let go of in order to make that journey outwards ever more speedy and indeed less intense, and so we will once again leave you with this short advice: learn to let go of anything that arises within you that leaves you feeling uneasy, unsure or even unworthy, for it is all part of your old setup, all packed up and made ready to leave you. For if you start to cling to these old remnants in an attempt to unravel the mystery they still hold for you, you will only serve to make yourself more entangled in this old web of insecurity and inability to soar as high as you are more than capable of at this moment in time. And now, as the incoming light will once again start to push the buttons in so many of you, learn to distinguish between those buttons that will serve to increase your abilities to soar ever higher and those that will only serve to slow you down. And now, that will be more imperative than ever, as the proverbial train has indeed left the station and the speed is picking up. And if you continue to try to sort through all of the unclaimed baggage still cluttering up the station, you will make it exceedingly difficult for yourself to literally catch those waves of incoming light that will soon arrive, ready to lift you all ever further and ever faster onwards and upwards, away from the old and into new layers of interesting formations of energetic compatibilities that again will serve to increase your momentum.

You see, this process is like an ever unfolding origami-like structure of interconnected energetic strata, one leading to another in a very detailed sequence. So if you in any way try to hold back the force of this momentum, you will only make it that much harder for yourself. For then, what can only be likened to a powerful but smooth river of light will for you seem to be nothing more than a churning morass of pulsating light, all doing what it can to bring you out of that stale backwater you so tenaciously try to cling on to. In other words, the light will do what it can to give you another mighty push in the back to speed your progress, but if you try to push your way backwards you will find yourself having a really hard time catching your breath or even keeping your head above the water.

So again we say prepare yourself by making that list of what to focus on and what to simply let go of one that truly favors the last category, and then, you will realise that all you need to bring along is you, the very essence of you. That is all it takes, and everything else is indeed optional. That is, the more you think you need to carry with you, the less comfortable this next part of the journey will be, and the more you will be apt to be dragged under by that extra burden you place on yourself. So let go and let be, and give yourself the opportunity to simply allow yourself to float as freely as you can in this ever moving, ever increasing flood of light. And do not think you have failed to do your lesson if nothing untoward at all will surface for you in the next few days. For if you already feel as free as a bird, that is actually what you are. And remember, do not make yourself the disservice of comparing your process to that of others in a way that will make you feel at fault. For that is indeed the surest way to exceed the limits of any “carry on luggage” you might be tempted to try to take along with you on this next stage.

So again we say know that all is well, and again, remember to let bygones be bygones, and continue to keep that uppermost in your mind as these days and nights come and go. For that way, you will learn the lesson as quickly as possible, and the lesson in once again the same it has been countless times before: whatever emerges is not for you to take care of. It is simply letting you know that it is exiting your immediate surroundings, and if you remember to not hold on to it, it will soon dissipate forever."
