Kelly M. Beard: Weekly Forecast: March 31 – April 6, 2019

Kelly M. Beard:  Weekly Forecast: March 31 – April 6, 2019

4/2 ~ Mercury (communication/expression) ~conjunct~ Neptune (imagination/spirituality): (3 of 3: 2/19 ~ 3/24 ~ 4/2)

This is a mixed blessing, but definitely an initiation either way. It can be miraculous for creativity, art or exploration. I like this one for a personal ‘conversation with God’, your Higher Self, your SoulSelf. As with any initiation, a completion must come first, and in this case with Mercury, it’s time to expand your thinking in some way – go deeper. Invite your Ancestors, Angels & Animal Guides to answer your questions and guide you at this time. Communing with them is much more supported than communing with the humans around you. So if you need to think about the mundane or confront someone about something which requires complete honesty from both parties, things could get a little hazy & confused thanks to Neptune here. There is always a veil to contend with when dealing with Neptune, but you have to know which side of it you are on so you are in alignment with the Nature around you (3D vs 5D). This energy tends to color reality, misleading you to think you are being perfectly clear in your communication or what you’re trying to express, while others are completely lost. It’s better to say nothing, rather than be completely misunderstood.


4/5 ~ ARIES New Moon:
This is an annual Initiation of the New You, the New Year and a brand New Beginning that is available for those who choose the New, leave the Old/Past behind, and bravely stepping into the unknown. The Libra Full Moon (3/20) may have revealed where more *Internal Balance* is required for you to truly anchor this emerging Identity. It may have also revealed where more *External Balance* is required for you to maintain relationships or agreements with others (or not). Most likely, some of both will manifest. This is an annual opportunity to release imbalances within ourselves and our relationships or environment, anything that is preventing the Aries/New Beginning from unfolding naturally. The Capricorn Last Qtr Moon (3/28) illuminated what you, personally, are responsible for at this time and happened the same day as Mercury Direct, allowing for some additional insights. You are on completely new ground now and the Aries New Moon launches us all to the next level. Consider how much has been cleared and released just in the last year alone. This first *Seed Point* is vital to the next 6-12 months of growth and expansion. It is truly time to close out and release anything no longer essential to your reality or evolution. The message is: Don’t Rush and Neither Postpone. This is the week to dedicate your Self to taking responsibility for whatever you have chosen to create, then consciously prepare to go for it in the very near future! Any residual imbalances can be released with the second Libra Full Moon (4/19). This month’s lunation sets us up for some very new territory, stay alert and present, especially when navigating with others.

Kelly M. Beard: Weekly Forecast: March 17 – 23, 2019

Weekly Forecast: March 17 – 23, 2019


The video version of this forecast, as read by Kelly, is available here.


3/17 ~ Mercury Rx (expression) ~sextile~ Mars (passion):
(2 of 3: 2/7 ~ 3/17 ~ 5/1)

This is a healthy selfish energy (aka self-preservation). Do not hold back this week. If you have a big dream or serious goal you have been working toward, then this is the time that may attract the assistance you need from the Universe. This is definitely a “work” energy, however, it brings with it the caveat that it is best if you work alone on something important to you. No one else is (or ever will be) as dedicated to your goal as YOU will be, nor should you expect them to be. You are now connected to the extra energy it takes to push your goals to the next level, bringing you a sense of accomplishment while outlining the next tasks to be done. Opportunities present themselves all the time, all you have to do is be ready!! If you are given the opportunity to make a presentation, go for it! Your clarity, energy & enthusiasm will be unmatched and that’s what people respond to. Don’t choose this time to be “shy” or doubt that you’re ready – you are definitely ready … otherwise you wouldn’t be here!! One of my favorite sayings is: “At the moment of commitment, the Universe conspires to assist you!” It’s time to decide if you are committed and how truly committed you are, to your own success.


3/20 ~ Mars (energy) ~trine~ Pluto (transformation):
This is an active, transformative energy that will help you to change your life in a healthy, positive way. You may have the energy & inclination to make major personal (and permanent) changes to who you are and what you want on a deep Soul level. Because it’s a Trine, it promises more ease than is usually associated with Pluto, and in this case, makes transformation smoother. You may be especially focused on what needs to be done or changed in your life at this time. You will want to take action and the Universe supports that decision, as long as it is righteous and not totally self-serving. This is a good time to get moving, take action regarding your long term goals – and you will be able to create momentum. You may realize some of your recent actions or choices do not necessarily support your deepest drives or desires. As you get in alignment within & without, the results can be miraculous. Be creative ~ be brave!


3/20 ~ Mercury Rx (communication) ~sextile~ Saturn (responsibility):
(2 of 3: 2/19 ~ 3/20 ~ 4/7)

This energy is really good for being able to objectively see what needs to be changed, fixed or stabilized in your life or environment. One expression of this energy is a tendency toward depression or apathy, but a better expression would be facing what needs to be done and following through on what you have begun. You may feel the need to organize things at home or work, or perhaps take a class or workshop of some sort that will help you attain your current goals. Either way, be focused but not too serious – balance in all things. It’s when you focus on the lack and limitation that you feel overwhelmed and sometimes helpless. That’s not the point of this energy. It’s just time to do some serious thinking, tend to the details, take stock and make changes accordingly.


3/20 ~ LIBRA Super/Full Moon (1 of 2: 3/20 & 4/19):
This is the last Full Moon in a series of six that fell at the Zero Point of Possibilities. Can you feel the process that you have been through, personally, over the last 6-months? Can you feel the Universe reshaping, repositioning you to birth a whole new way of living on Earth and relating with other living beings? In order to do that, relate in a whole new way with Life, we’ve undergone quite a rigorous release process over the last 6-months alone. When you ‘shed skins’, you have to know that you are raw & vulnerable as you grown new skin or if it is a new birth of any kind, there is an initial stage of development that immediately follows birth that is the most vital for the health & well-being of the (creative) baby.


When we get two Full Moons in one 28-day lunar cycle, it facilitates what I call the *Lunar FLIP*. For the last 18-months, the Full Moon has been preceding the New Moon. During that time, often we have to finish things before anything new will take root. So reflect on the last year and a half and see if that may be true for you as well. I definitely found that every time I went to start something new, something old and in the way would pop up out of nowhere. Now, for the next 18-months, the New Moon will precede the Full Moon so now we will have to plant seeds and walk by faith. During this time, I usually feel like we have to initiate with many unknowns and proceed to the Full Moon which inevitably reveals something we overlooked, creating an opportunity to clear anything in the way of our New Moon Intentions. There is no right or wrong to this, it is the Moon so we feel it on very subtle levels but what I’ve learned is that most of us have a preference so if you know what the cycle is up to, you can prepare better as well.


As for our two Libra Full Moons, this is giving us two chances to do this deep clearing in the relationship department and honor the annual opportunity to complete things and tie up any loose ends in our relationships, personal, professional or both. That means anything and anyone that you have to relate to on a regular basis has this annual opportunity for renewal on a very deep level. It is a time to notice what is out of balance and take advantage of the initiatory energy of the Spring to clear it out and make space for new relationships and for new ways of relating in general. This one has so much additional power & juice for clearing out old, toxic, imbalanced relationships in a way that is so obvious that it makes it almost effortless to finally let go. You will also be shown the new possibilities for nourishing & supportive, balanced & reciprocal relationships, partnerships & collaborations that are being seeded at this time in your life.


Where is the beauty? fun? joy? supportive, helpful, peaceful people? What nourishes your body? mind? soul? spirit? Think in terms of how that has evolved over the last 6-months, 1-year and over the last 8-years for sure. What you used to be magnetized and attracted to has likely evolved, deepened and/or changed completely from 7-10 years ago. It’s time to do some internal reflection on the lessons & blessings you have gained through all your current relationships. No matter how grueling or treacherous they’ve been, you’ve learned something about your Self and humanity and how peace must be nurtured. Now, the Universe, the planets, Mother Earth herself all support you in stepping up and into NEW ways of being your Self, which automatically shifts how you relate with Others, on every level. Many small Circles and Communities have strong roots and are growing amazing things that will feed us all in the end. Find your inner balance, tap into this Spring Season when physical balance is naturally available and call in more balance & reciprocity in your personal & professional relationships. It’s time to allow more good into your life. Practice with more Light this season.


3/20 ~ SPRING Equinox 2019:
Spring Equinox brings the Renewal of Life & Light, Rebirth & Resurrection! There are vital energies & resources that are now more readily available at this time. It’s time to plant seeds and initiate projects that will show promise by Fall Equinox, 6-months from now. Spring brings the first access to literal balance in the new year. Check in with balance, within and around you. We are supported to discover & feel for ourselves, this renewal of Spring. We are coming from a predominantly Internal/Dark/Shadow/Fallow time and returning to an External/Light/Fertile time.


On an Individual level, this is a time to tune-in and honor whatever is stirring within, and positioning for *birth* in the near future. We are living during an incredible convergence of energy & cycles. All is vital, all is necessary, and the time is now ~ as we are deeply supported to seed the intention for Self, as well as Community & Mother Earth.


3/21 ~ Venus (values & priorities) ~square~ Mars (desire & passion):
This is your Inner Sacred Feminine & Masculine pushing out of comfort zone and into new territory. It is time to recalibrate how you give & receive, as well as how you BE versus DO. It helps to know the Signs & Elements to consciously choose how to work with this activation. In this case, it is Venus in Aquarius working it out with Mars in Taurus. These are Fixed Signs, so on one hand change is difficult, however, once you do change, it is likely to be permanent. Even for those of us with no Fixed energy in our charts can benefit from this activation as it will help you anchor something real and release something that has run its course in usefulness. It’s time to tune into how you direct your own power, as well as what you magnetize & repel naturally. Anytime Venus & Mars interact, the energy has to do with your relationships, both personal & professional, private or public. Squares create the necessary tension to catalyze action. As an individual, it is time to grow, change and integrate your own values & priorities (Venus) with your own desires & passion (Mars), however, on another level, it can activate sexual energy as that too is the energy of creation. If you are in a happy, healthy relationship, then it is a great energy for you expressing your love in a physical way. However, if your relationship already has tension (especially in the physical realm), then this can be a difficult energy to deal with and the only real solution is open communication and a willingness to compromise, so good luck!


3/21 ~ Venus (relationships) ~sextile~ Jupiter (optimism):
This energy expands your relationships, personal or professional, allowing you to gain traction in expressing the Highest vibration that’s possible for that connection. In personal relationships, things are sociable, light & fun. In professional or public relationships, things can go more smoothly as folks are more relaxed & easy-going, upbeat & open to exchanging ideas & concepts. This energy activates our innate optimism and natural positive thinking, so it is a good time to look into expanding your knowledge base in some way that makes you more valuable to the team. You will have both the connection to your instincts and confidence with others that is a winning combination!

DailyOM: Letting People Know You Love Them: A Gift of the Heart





Love exists to be expressed, not withheld.


It's easy to take our feelings for granted and to assume that the people we care about know how we feel about them. But while those we love are often quite cognizant of our feelings, saying "I love you" is a gift we should give to our loved ones whenever we can. Letting people know you love them is an important part of nurturing any kind of loving relationship. Few people tire of being told they are loved, and saying "I love you" can make a world of difference in someone's life, take a relationship to a new level, or reaffirm and strengthen a steady bond. Everyone needs to hear the words "I love you." Three simple words � I - Love - You. When you declare your love for someone you admit to them that you care for them in the most significant way.


It can be difficult to express your love using words, particularly if you grew up around people that never expressed their affection verbally. But you should never be afraid to say "I love you" or worry that doing so will thrust you into a position of excessive vulnerability. It is important to share your feelings with those that matter to you. Part of the fulfillment that comes with loving someone is telling them that you love them. Besides, love exists to be expressed, not withheld.


If you love someone, let them know. Don't be afraid of the strength of your emotions or worry that your loved one won't feel the same way. Besides, the words "I love you" are often best said to another without expectation of a return investment. As each one of us is filled with an abundance of love, there is never any worry that you'll run out of love if your expression of love isn't said back to you. Saying "I love you" is a gift of the heart sent directly via words to the heart of a recipient. Even though it may not always look that way, love from the heart is an offering that is always unconditional and given without strings attached. That is the true essence of the gift of "I love you."

This is Your Brain on Meditation | davidji

Welcome to this week’s edition of The Source in which we
explore the scientific results meditation has on the brain.



The newest brain science has shown very specifically how meditation affects our brains. In the groundbreaking 2012 Yale stress study published in the online journal Biological Psychiatry, researchers found that stressful life events such as divorce or job loss impacted the brains of even healthy individuals making them less capable of enduring subsequent stressful events by hindering their emotions and self-control.


Image Credit: The image is credited to NIMH and is in the public domain.


Prior to this study, the effects of stress on the brains of healthy individuals had been unclear. But after brain scanning 103 healthy subjects who had been interviewed about traumatic stress and adverse life events, such as the death of a loved one, loss of a home to natural disaster, job loss, or divorce, scientists observed “across-the-board marked shrinkage” in the medial prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate, and the insula, the parts of the brain responsible for personality expression, emotions, decision-making, self-control and goal-achievement. And, these parts of the brain shrunk with every additional stressful life event a test subject had experienced.


The lead author of this cutting edge study, Emily Ansell concluded that, “the accumulation of stressful life events may make it more challenging for these individuals to deal with future stress, particularly if the next demanding event requires effortful control, emotion regulation, or integrated social processing to overcome it.” And, as we now know, the next “demanding” event will indeed require those skills.


Neurological surgeons operating on brain tumors had previously known that eliminating up to two thirds of the medial prefrontal cortex resulted in concentration issues, judgment, problem-solving difficulties, and inability to think in the abstract. And this is exactly what happens to our brain after we experience an intense stressor leading to the conclusion that stress has virtually the same impact as surgery on the brain!


But, don’t despair – this is not a Cuckoo’s Nest moment. One of the most potent benefits of meditation is the suppressing of cortisol so the body’s functions can return to normal following a stressful event. “The brain is dynamic and plastic and things can improve — but only if stress is dealt with in a healthy manner. If not, the effects of stress can have a negative impact on both our physical and mental health,” said Rajita Sinha, the Yale Foundations Fund Professor of Psychiatry, and a professor in the Department of Neurobiology. When it comes to stress and the brain, size really does matter. And right in your hands, you hold the key to dealing with stress in a healthy manner.


Studies have shown that people who secrete higher levels of cortisol in response to stress tend to eat more carbohydrates than people who secrete less cortisol. Increased levels of cortisol shrink the hippocampus, impacting memory formation, new brain cell development, and our ability to learn. Simultaneously, cortisol increases the size of our amygdala, keeping us in fear-based learning mode.
In my book “destressifying” I outline a meditation study at the University of Massachusetts, in concert with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School, tracked changes to the physical structure of the brain using MRI scans over 56 days. All 16 test subjects meditated on their breath for 30 minutes a day and experienced the following structural shifts:


  • An increase in the size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for learning, memory, and spatial orientation
  • A decrease in the size of the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for fear, anger, and stress

As brain-imaging software develops and improves, we are finally able to look deep into the brain and see what happens when someone meditates!!! The benefits are undeniable, and by cultivating a daily meditation practice, you will feel better, sleep better, make more conscious choices, communicate more effectively improve your relationships, and finally get really clear on what it is that you want in life!!! Let’s get busy!!!


Peace. -davidji

Kelly M. Beard: Weekly Forecast: January 13 – 19, 2019

Weekly Forecast: January 13 – 19, 2019


Note from Kelly:
This is another potent week. Despite chaotic, collective madness, you must take some time this week to clear your own mind, do a data dump and try to hear your Self think. It is your Soul Self that wants to reach you this week and your Soul Self cares little about politics or the rest, your Soul Self just cares about you – you and your individual evolution. Mercury is the star this week, linking up with Saturn & Pluto, suggesting that if you can transform your thinking, you will naturally transcend your current reality. The other activations this week are equally important. The rare Jupiter/Neptune alignment is going to happen three times over, so pace yourself by noticing what is coming up for you around your faith & belief system at this time. Is it serving you or holding you back from evolving to the next level? When an activation happens 3-times like this, there is usually a catalyst, like our New Vision for 2019, then there is a crisis of faith or a burst-your-bubble moment (when you find out something you believed is actually not true) and then there is the revelations by the third time that, hopefully, leave your faith in your Self and a Higher Power both stronger & wiser for the experience. And ultimately, that Sun/Uranus contact suggests that we are ready, as individuals, to do things a completely new & different way. Honor that impulse. Improvise often. Ask (your Self) lots of questions, don’t take anything at face value but go deeper and ask your Self what you are *feeling* and then, go with your gut.


Weekly Forecast: January 13 – 19, 2019  

1/13 ~ Mercury (thought process) ~conjunct~ Saturn (definition of reality):

This energy is excellent for any important project that requires your undivided attention. If you’ve got a vision and have already outlined how to manifest it, now is the time to really fill in the blanks – flesh it out – bring it to life! Do the work! If you do not channel this energy toward patiently and methodically taking the necessary steps to get to the next level, then it can manifest as frustration and feel as if you are not doing what you know in your heart you are supposed to be doing at this time. It leads to negative thinking and self-sabotage. A better expression would be to not think of the things that can go wrong, but entertain the possibility that every door opens and all paths lead to your goal, no matter how they appear at the moment.



1/13 ~ Jupiter (Truth/Belief) ~square~ Neptune (Faith/Spirituality):
(1 of 3: 1/13 ~ 6/16 ~ 9/21)

This combination gives us access to miracles, if you believe in them! But for those who are not grounded in their bodies or clear in their minds, this combo can be crazy-making, it seems to agitate some who can never pinpoint the source of the agitation. It’s time to pay close attention to what you think, say & believe in any given situation and constantly clarify it for your Self so that you don’t get too far off-track following your Monkey Mind. It’s a time when your faith & spirituality may be tested to grow as well, but all the more reason to believe in good things being possible too.


In general, these two are somewhat related because they both have to do with what we believe to be true or possible but they seem to also create a possibility for “too much of a good thing” ~ over-idealizing (Neptune) ~ over-extending (Jupiter) along with faith & charity in the wrong direction. Squares always create the necessary friction within to make you want to grow & develop skill so you can change something in a fairly tangible way. These two are like a lightning storm whose flashes enable you to catch “glimpses” of your new reality as the illusion of this old reality “cracks” revealing its inability to withstand the upcoming changes. Hopefully, it will spur you on to integrating a little more magic in your mundane, as well as manifesting your ideals in more practical/3D ways. By recognizing what you no longer believe, a new vision begins to emerge, though it still needs to be nurtured & cultivated. The test that squares bring, push us to grow and develop in a way that moves things along in a good way. When a Social Planet (Jupiter) hits a Collective Planet (Neptune) then large numbers of humans evolve around the same time. Additionally, if you have the Signs activated in your Individual chart, then it becomes “personal” for you (in this case, Sag/Pisces). In general, these energies coming together should help you develop a Truth/Belief System of your own, while still creating the Daily Practice that will animate and support it going forward. This energy will activate your generosity of spirit, so make sure to give to those worthy of your investment and try not to be foolish, deluded or tricked. Use this combo to expand your consciousness and practice what you preach.



1/14 ~ Mercury (expression) ~sextile~ Neptune (dreams):
This is a great energy for imagination, consciousness and intuition, however, keeping a good filter to distinguish between your own perceptions and what you are picking up from those around you will be crucial to your success. Your mind may be tuned-in to a different channel than usual this week and you may have to rely on other senses, like your feelings or intuitive hunches. You may be very perceptive, picking up on the thoughts & feelings of others, which if/when you are clear (and your filters are working) can yield some surprising revelations about where their consciousness is, at this time (for better or worse) and reflect an aspect of your own consciousness that you may not have been aware of. Try to avoid work that requires any attention to detail. Allow your creativity to flow freely without censoring what comes through you at this time. You can organize it later. This is the energy to explore, create and free-flow!


1/18 ~ Venus (feminine & receiving) ~trine~ Mars (masculine & giving):
Venus rules your values & priorities where your relationship with love & money are concerned. It is the Sacred Feminine within that innately knows how to co-create with nature, and what to cultivate & nurture to full development. Mars rules your desire nature and your Inner Sacred Masculine, which is responsible for getting your ideas into the world, maintaining your personal boundaries and negotiating on your own behalf. When both are channeling through you in a balanced way, like now, what you create and how you move through the world becomes a beautiful dance or, at least, a much more interesting story. The trine is a blessing of ease & grace, an easy-going energy that paves the way for balance & reciprocity and encourages independence within the context of relationships. Communication is usually smooth at this time and exchanges can be mutually beneficial. Any relationships started under this influence have a good chance at success whether personal or professional.



1/18 ~ Mercury (mind, thoughts & ideas) ~conjunct~ Pluto (purification & transformation):
This activation takes you into the depths of your own mind & consciousness, deepening all communications. You may find yourself obsessing over something, either by yourself or in an attempt to convey something to another. Superficial, quick once-overs, trying to keep things ‘light’ will not likely be possible with this energy. You may feel determined to dig deeper until you get to the core or base issue. It’s good for soul-searching when it’s motivated by a genuine desire to know the truth, rather than to evade it. It’s not-so-good when you’re obsessing over someone or something which no longer serves you (or your Highest good). The challenge with this energy is the tendency to be really intense and locked-in on your own point of view, which is no less valid, but often this type of mental intensity blinds you to something obvious that you overlooked because you were not being objective, but being driven by much deeper (possibly unconscious) emotions. Your intensity is capable of influencing others but be aware of the difference between sharing information and trying to “convince, convert or cajole” others, as that can naturally attract challenges & opposition. Remember, the opposite can also be true, where you are on the receiving end of this intense energy from someone else (trying to convince you of something). The best way to use this energy, as it doesn’t really last that long, is to turn that intensity toward Self, peel the layers to your own Truth & Purpose. The channels are open for a time and you can communicate and receive information from the deepest part of your SoulSelf. This is an Initiation.



1/18 ~ Sun (source & essential Self) ~square~ Uranus (awakening & radical shift):
As with any Uranus activation, this one disrupts the normal flow in order to facilitate a ‘break to realign’ moment. While sometimes disruptive & challenging, the ultimate result is refreshing in some way. Consider the energy that thickens, gathering for a severe thunderstorm, then releasing buckets of rain, for hours, you sleep deeply and awaken to a bright sunny morning with birds chirping unusually loud outside your window. Got the visual? ; -)) This activation is the necessary challenge that gets your attention that something better is available, if you’re willing to improvise and think on your feet. If you’ve been unusually restricted in some way, you may feel restless. Rather than being reactive to the unexpected shift (within or without), it’s best to take a pause for the cause, step back and try to gain some perspective. Remember to be present, too far in the past can be depressing and too far into the future, and you cause your Self unnecessary anxiety. Breathe, be under the sky, invite clarity about the next step and trust your gut. This energy, while sometimes uncomfortable and often sudden, is very necessary to disrupt any illusions/delusions you may be holding on to. It’s time to express your Self in new ways so the old ways naturally stop working to get your attention.


~~~
The Karmic Tools Weekly Forecast covers the current planetary transits which affect people in different ways and to various degrees of intensity. Take notice when it is a Personal planet (Sun / Moon / Mercury / Venus / Mars) interacting with a Social (Jupiter/Saturn) or Collective planet (Uranus / Neptune/Pluto). And pay extremely close attention when it is a Social planet interacting with a Collective planet because that means something *big* is brewing that will move large groups of people along their evolutionary paths. Tuning in to the energy and rhythm of the planets can serve as a useful *guide* as you move along your Individual Path. It also helps to understand your place within the context of the larger Social & Collective Story. Below, you will find out how these energies tend to manifest, as well as guidance and direction.


*NOTE*  There are some days when there are NO CONTACTS (besides the Moon), please note that there are no missing entries, we just list the actual Activations of each week + the day they happen.


Monday, February 12, 2018

Kelly M. Beard: Feb 11 – 17, 2018: Weekly Forecast + Venus Circle ReScheduled

Feb 11 – 17, 2018: Weekly Forecast + Venus Circle ReScheduled



2/13 ~ Mercury (expression) ~square~ Jupiter (truth):

This energy challenges you to integrate your individual vision (of your day-to-day) with the larger vision for your life (goals). On one hand, you can see the big picture in new ways, but on the other hand, you may not be very interested in the details that bring it into form. This is another good one for expanding your consciousness and thinking outside the box, but as the insights come into your conscious awareness, be mindful of the steps it will take to make your ideas a reality. This activation is also great for course-corrections where your ideas are concerned and will open you up to learning something new or bring in a crucial piece of information, just keep in mind that you will have to stabilize anything you start and probably have to review some details down the road because of something you overlooked in your enthusiasm around this new or expanded Truth & Story, which is revealed at this time.

2/13 ~ Sun (source & essential Self) ~sextile~ Uranus (freedom & individuality):   This activation will help you access a deeper sense of authenticity as everyday routine events may be enlightening this week. Anytime Uranus is involved ‘ah-ha moments’ are available, those sudden inspirations or the surprising clarity that changes everything is bubbling near the surface, you need but invite it in (to your conscious mind to be useful). Eventually, you will have to ground these breakthroughs in some physical form, but this energy supports the exploration of possibilities. Where can you use a dose of freedom & liberation? This energy also promotes ‘authentic living’ – you won’t be able to be phony, nor tolerate it in others, this week. Just remember that truth sometimes rattles those who would rather play ‘nice’ (keep up appearances/status quo) than face the facts, so watch out for rebelliousness, if not in you then in others. This is not a disruptive energy, except to those who resist change. Don’t fight it – embrace it! Change is good, it means you are growing!

2/14 ~ Venus TeleCircle: PISCES/Crown Chakra/Reclamation:
This potent activation brings the ultimate Sacred Feminine Wisdom of the Moon & Venus together in Pisces at the culmination of one year. You are pregnant with possibilities that will be birthed this Spring/Summer. In January, we renewed our connection to the Soul Star Chakra, which connects us to this month’s Crown Chakra, where we receive guidance, ideas & inspiration from our Highest Self. We are on the Reclamation side of Venus’ cycle now and in Pisces, we are cultivating a New Vision, seeded in our Soul, and ready to come into being in the coming year.

Even if you don’t join us for the call tonight, I highly recommend the Astro/Tarot Reading ($100) anytime during the first quarter of the year. We are currently IN the Eclipse Portal, being rewired on multiple levels. We are at the MidPoint between Winter & Spring, so life is beginning to quicken, and whatever gets rolling in the next month or so is going to be what you are dealing with for the year. And this is the best time to get guidance and support for your goals of 2018. We look at where you are in any current personal cycles, and then we ask for guidance via the Tarot that is often literal, but always useful & relevant. These readings are pre-recorded for you to digest and prepare your questions for when we connect directly.

2/15 ~ Mercury (acumen) ~sextile~ Uranus (the Awakener):
This energy says, it’s time to go with the flow – “new and different” being the flow. It wants to shake it up a bit – in a good way. However, if you feel like new & different is more like chaos & disruption, then you need to reflect and see if you aren’t being too rigid. Unwillingness to go with the (new) flow will make this energy harder to handle. This is also a good time to try to resolve any old issues or challenges – they are not going away without resolution and conscious release. Perhaps you’ve been trying the same thing over and over and it’s time to try something NEW – now is the time new ideas can/will come to you. Pay attention! Try to be open and receptive to unusual things, events or ideas and allow room for spontaneity. You may think you are doing one thing and look up and being doing something completely different – be open to exploring the new path!

2/15 ~ Venus (relationships) ~sextile~ Saturn (responsibility):
This energy has to do with your obligations within the context of relationships. They are not difficult obligations (in this case) but more emphasis is placed on enjoying serving those you love. This is also what I would call the “keep it real” energy, regarding relationships. This energy makes you want to really sit down and define your terms within your relationships (which I am a total advocate of). It’s really hard to grow to the next level when each person is not clear on what the other needs or expects. Of course, this starts with you knowing what you want/don’t want and what you are willing to compromise about so you can articulate that clearly too.

2/15 ~ Aquarius New Moon/Solar Eclipse:
Eclipses come every year, bringing energy for change, every year. What shifts with time, is the sign energy, which represents the lesson & blessing of now. In this case, we are past half-way through the nine total Leo/Aquarius Eclipses, which are related to the recent years of 2008-09 and before that, 1999-2000. Leo is where the focused, forward direction is moving, that is, heart-centered, authentic, loving & bright Souls, creating a new world, a new global family, a new awareness that we are all connected, yet still individuals (thanks to Aquarius). These eclipses are pushing us all to develop our own individual character, and then contribute that to improving our world. Radically different is what this break-to-realign promises, so set your intentions that ‘different’ is better not worse, that you are ready to learn something new and improvise more often, and open your heart in the process!

2/17 ~ Mars (action & desire) ~square~ Neptune (dreams & illusions):
This can be an annoying energy, to say the least. Basically, you may be confronted with challenges which are a direct result of earlier choices. These are the kind of choices you eventually realized were wrong and “hoped” the consequences would somehow pass you by. Not. You may feel very discouraged, possibly depressed, and be filled with fear & doubt. The key to getting through this energy is to take a step back, reflect on your choices and what led you to this point and, as objectively as possible, evaluate what went wrong. The tendency with this energy is to want to give up completely on the path you have chosen when all that is probably necessary is a little tweaking. Try to identify the aspect that is causing the conflict. If you don’t feel that you can be objective enough or that you struggle with identifying this aspect, enlist two other people to give you their opinion and then follow your gut instinct on the direction to take from here. The other temptation with this energy is to be deceptive – either to your Self or others. Either way – don’t give in – it will only come back to bite you (harder) later. Your physical energy is likely to be low as well. Do not force your Self to do anything you are truly not “feeling” right now. Instead, meditate on what action may be necessary when your energy returns. Be still. Avoid confrontations with others as it is just the energy pushing you out of comfort zone, into new territory. This is a test of sorts and the best way to deal with it is to face your fears and clarify your desires. My personal two-cents about these two planets (Mars & Neptune) in a difficult angle, is to reflect on what actions (Mars) have been taken (and NOT worked) toward the fulfillment of your dreams (Neptune) – and start your “tweaking” there.

2/17 ~ Mercury (communication & self-expression) ~conjunct~ Sun (core essential Self):   This energy will compel you to express yourself on many levels. Communication will be a focus, just make sure it is reciprocated. You will have access to some powerful energy that can (and probably will) make quite an impression on others (if you need to). This is a good time to travel if possible too. However, if not physically, then mentally and certainly within your own area, you will take in more information per square inch than usual. Pay attention! You may even gain the much-deserved recognition from others that you have worked so hard for.

NorthPoint Journal: Your guide to planetary energies for November 13 to 19, 2017 By Pam Younghans







Highlighted Aspects this Week
MON: Venus conjunct Jupiter, Mercury square Neptune
TUE: Venus sesquiquadrate Chiron
THU: Venus semisquare Saturn, Venus trine Neptune, Sun trine Chiron, Mercury trine Ceres
FRI: Sun quincunx Uranus, Mercury sextile Mars
SAT: New Moon 3:42am PST (11:42am GMT)
SUN: Mars square Pluto, Venus square Ceres


SCORPIO
is a profoundly complex sign. Perhaps that is why I've had a hard time finding the right words with which to begin today's Journal. I've made five attempts at writing this opening paragraph, each one coming from a slightly different tack.


Here are the beginning phrases of my first five efforts:
​

"We look into the mirror this week ..."
"The door to deep transformation opens before us ..."
"We are truly in a Scorpionic time, with so many secrets being revealed ..."
"It's an interesting paradox, having a New Moon in Scorpio ..."
"We often experience a healing crisis when we are transitioning from one state to
another ..."



Or perhaps I can blame the Mercury-Neptune square that perfects on Monday for my mind's inability to get on board a single train of thought and ride it to its destination. But no matter what the reason, the truth of the matter is that we have another powerful week ahead of us, and I'm feeling some resistance about diving into its energies
.


THAT'S WHY the idea of a healing crisis came to mind -- we rarely enjoy such an experience, but we accept it as a necessary step in the curative process. Our perception of such an event can change when we see it through the eyes of wisdom.


I received that message through two sources this morning -- the first came as I read a few more paragraphs in John O'Donohue's book Anam Cara, in which he wrote:


"To the fearful eye, all is threatening. When you look toward the world in a fearful way, all you see and concentrate on are things that can damage and threaten you. The fearful eye is always besieged by threat.


"The loving eye can look lovingly upon anything. If we could look at the world in a loving way, then the world would rise up before us full of invitation, possibility, and depth. The loving eye can even coax pain, hurt, and violence toward transfiguration and renewal."


SYNCHRONISTICALLY, reinforcement of this theme arrived in my inbox this morning, through Shanta Gabriel's "Inspiration for the Week" email. Her message for the coming week is: 


"A disruption of energy serves to bring more clarity. Bless it."


As Shanta explains, "Blessing the situation will cause it to vibrate at a higher frequency. To bless means to confer energy upon. When we bless something, it brings the Infinite Intelligence in Divine Light to the circumstance. It also gives us the opportunity to ask for a Creative Solution if it seems so dire that we can't see our way through it."


There is little, if any, difference between looking at the world in a loving way and blessing a situation. Whichever way we choose to verbalize the concept, this is our guiding directive for the coming week.


ON OUR WAY to the week's main planetary events -- both of which occur next weekend -- we are first blessed by an alignment of Venus and Jupiter that perfects in the very early hours of Monday morning. This conjunction finds the two "benefic" planets joining forces, providing a helpful energy boost to our process of transformation.


We can feel more hopeful and optimistic with the assist of these planets, but since they are in Scorpio, they also require that we do some honest soul-searching as a part of our journey of renewal. And what do we need to ask our soul?


With Venus, we may want to ask: What do I really value? What does my heart need? Am I willing to reveal the truth of my being to loved ones, to myself? And with Jupiter, our questions may be: What do I believe in? What can I invest my energy into that will increase my joy and my sense of life's meaning? 


And with Scorpio, the questions might be: What do I feel passionate about? What empowers me? And what fears do I need to release so that I might experience greater depth, intimacy, and commitment in my life?


THE THEME OF HEALING is very present this week, and especially strong on Thursday. On that day, we have three supportive trine aspects, all perfecting in the morning hours (Pacific Time).


A harmonious Venus-Neptune trine, building on the energies of Monday's Venus-Jupiter alignment, opens our hearts to new levels of forgiveness and compassion. Also in effect, a Mercury-Ceres trine increases empathic communication and expands our ability to relate to animals and others in our care. In other words, this is a great day to sit down with your beloveds of any description, since emotional and telepathic bonds are more easily established.

The third trine on Thursday is between the Sun and Chiron. This influence is also woven into the energies of Saturday's New Moon, at which time both the Sun and the Moon are in positive aspect with the Wounded Healer. This means that we carry the potential for deep spiritual and emotional healing into the new lunar cycle.
 
TWO TRANSFORMATIONAL EVENTS occur next weekend -- the New Moon in Scorpio and a Mars-Pluto square.


The New Moon occurs on Saturday at 26°19″ Scorpio, at 3:42 a.m. PST (11:42 a.m. GMT). This lunation is notable for several reasons -- the trine to Chiron and its therapeutic effect being one of them.


But there are also a total of five planetary beings in Scorpio at the time of the New Moon: the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Vesta. This line-up greatly increases the "Scorpionic" impact of the event, energy that is carried into the new lunar cycle. We can expect heightened emotions, more secrets and suspicions being revealed, deep transformations occurring, loyalties being questioned, and plays being made to gain power and control.


The New Moon is also in a strong quincunx aspect with Uranus, which can feel uncomfortable, but is actually a helpful catalyst for necessary change. As astrologer Emily Trinkaus writes in the current issue of The Mountain Astrologer, this quincunx "reinforces the theme of being shaken out of our comfort zone. To renew our own vitality, and to breathe life back into our relationships, we need to interrupt our habitual patterns of reacting and defending." 


MARS AND PLUTO form a square aspect about once a year, so Sunday's event is not rare -- but Pluto and Mars are the modern and traditional rulers of Scorpio, so their conflictive relationship at this time (with the New Moon and so many planets in Scorpio) could have particular impact.


What can we expect? Most likely, an increase in the "Scorpionic impacts" I listed above. With Mars in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn, we see at essence a struggle between the desire to collaborate and the need to wield unquestioned authority.


With this aspect, we are challenged to rise above co-dependent behaviors to more fully claim our personal power. Our test may come through encountering feelings of powerlessness and needing to find new ways of asserting ourselves. To pass this test, we must not devolve into anger and competitiveness, or resort to old "work-arounds" such as passive-aggressive behaviors that never address the problem directly.


THANKFULLY, some of the other planets are well positioned to help us utilize the most positive characteristics of Mars in Libra. These qualities include the courage to fight for what is fair and just, and the ability to manage conflict.


Throughout the weekend, Mars is at the midpoint of Mercury in Sagittarius and the North Node and Ceres in Leo. This means we have access to the best qualities of Mercury in Sag -- intuitive wisdom, a positive perspective, and the ability to inspire through meaningful communication -- and of Ceres and the North Node in Leo -- creativity, confidence, and the ability to lead with heart.

IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: You are in a healing cycle as you embark on your new year, with greater compassion and faith being incorporated into your sense of self. At the same time, your self-concept is shifting in ways that will ultimately allow you  greater freedom and autonomy. As you move beyond old emotional patterns, you will likely need to make adjustments in how you relate to others, and old contracts will need to be rewritten. This year requires you to explore themes of honesty and assertiveness, and to find new ways to express your desires.


In peace,


Pam

Natalie Glasson: Become a Facilitator of Miracles
by the Venus Beings

Our all-encompassing love extends to you now, awakening the presence and truth of love within your being. We are the Venus Beings; we continue to connect with the Earth and her humanity, sending our love vibrations to all. Our mission is to support Mother Earth in her evolution into a planet of love and to aid those who currently exist upon the Earth in achieving their love initiations and ascension. Our support is available to all; we have much to share with you and remind you of. We continue to aid all in recognising the wealth of love within their beings and essence, while encouraging many to realise the power of love, creating actions born from the essence of love within. Our greatest wish is for humanity to live and experience a life of love upon the Earth, experiencing the Creator’s love fully flowing through their beings. Through the embodiment, expression and experience of the Creator’s love, fulfilment is activated and created.


Many may say that to speak of and explore love so deeply and fully is to speak generally of the Creator, to lack focus and depth of knowledge. They may disbelieve in the power of love, recognise love and those who embody the Creator’s love as weak or feeble. The love of the Creator, its power and truth has yet to be explored fully and embodied by humanity, when this takes place humanity will realise that the love of the Creator is one of the most powerful and magical embodiments to experience while living upon the Earth. A realisation will dawn that the love of the Creator is the stepping stones into the heavens and inner planes. A pathway of embodiment, activation, remembrance and expression which leads you into the core essence of the Creator. Those that disregard the power of love, disregard the presence of the Creator, therefore without realising experience themselves as separate from the Creator. Our purpose is to support in reprograming your being with the Creator’s love to awaken a deep remembrance of truth.


Seed Codes


Today, we the Venus Beings, bring forth Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing. Seed Codes are akin to very pure vibrations of energy and light which can be embodied to transform and reprogram anything that is not of the same vibration. Seed Codes extend from the core and essence of an energy; they hold the purest frequency of Creator light and consciousness. It is often that Seed Codes hold a very specific purpose, they can unlock energies, bring forth powerful healing, awaken wisdom which seems to have been lost forever and distribute sacred information from one planet to another. Seed Codes allow expressions of the Creator such as yourself to recognise the oneness, similarity and unity of the Creator in existence within all, encouraging this to manifest divinely for the greatest good of all. We, the Venus Beings, are drawing upon the pure energy of our core, our Seed Codes and delivering them to the Earth and humanity where they will be embedded and synthesised to share sacred light, love and information from our planet of love to yours. We wish to invite you to transmit our Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing through your being into the Earth, humanity and your own being. Thus, embedding the Venus energy into the Earth to share healing with all as well as information concerning the power of love. The more souls upon the Earth to recognise and experience the power of love for themselves, the quicker Mother Earth’s ascension will become. All will accelerate forward in their spiritual evolution, experience the love of the Creator and all the beautiful qualities that love creates.


Facilitator of Miracles


Through transmitting the Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing, we wish to invite you to become a Facilitator of Miracles, for yourself, the Earth and humanity. Love brings the truth of the Creator to the forefront of the conscious mind, it opens up and attracts new opportunities, expands possibilities and accelerates the speed of manifestation. Before we guide you in becoming a Facilitator of Miracles we wish to share with you our intention for the Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing transmission. Our intention is to support all in recognising and experiencing the power of love within their beings, reality and spiritual growth. We wish to encourage many to realise that they embody love. This love can be used in beautiful, harmonious ways in their realities to support them in taking responsibility and experiencing fulfilment. When the Venus Seed Codes are shared, they will always awaken the power of love within a being; this may appear as if their determination, strength and inner power is awakening. They may feel inspired to be their truth, to share the Creator love and to assist others in doing so. When the power of love is activated miracles occur thus, you become a Facilitator of Miracles.


Becoming a Facilitator of Miracles:

  • Breathing deeply, activate the love of the Creator present within all aspects of your being and body. Ask this love to be present within your chakras, physical body, energy bodies, mind and emotions now so you may experience it fully.
  • Ask us, the Venus Beings, to support you by encompassing you in our energy of pure love. Our energy of love will magnify and empower the love present within your being, encouraging your experience of your inner Creator love to intensify.
  • Ask the Creator to be present with you, sending energy and love into your being with the purpose of reconnecting you to all that is the Creator. Thus, allowing the love of the Creator to flow with ease and perfection free from blockages or boundaries of any form. This may feel as if you are synthesising your energy with the Creator in a new way, as if the Creator is present observing all that you are with deep compassion, gratitude and love.
  • Invite us, the Venus Beings, to transmit our Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing into and through your being. We will surround your higher heart chakra, soul star chakra, casual chakra and throat chakra with intense vibrations of light as if we are cupping your chakras in our energetic hands. These chakras will assist in you receiving, understanding and delivering the Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing. The Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing will be transmitted into all your chakras where they will merge and synthesise with your energy. Take time to feel and acknowledge the presence of the Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing, recognising how they impact your being.
  • With a focus on each breath you exhale, allow and encourage your energy to expand to encompass all of humanity and Mother Earth.
  • From each of your chakras simultaneously energy flows as your chakras distribute the Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing. Now humanity holds the same Seed Codes as you within their chakras, as does Mother Earth. Visualise, sense and acknowledge the Seed Codes present within all beings and Mother Earth.
  • Call us forth, the Venus Beings, to transmit our love throughout Mother Earth and humanity energising and intensifying the presence of love within all and the Seed Codes anchored. Let the energy build until you feel a powerful and pure vibration of love forming and radiating throughout all beings and the Earth.
  • Repeat out loud as if you are speaking to all beings and the Earth, ‘The Creator’s love is our power, love moves through us facilitating miracles and fulfilment.’ You may feel, sense or acknowledge the Seed Codes activating, radiating their light creating powerful and magical transitions. Observe the miracles that are being created and activated within Mother Earth, humanity and your being. These are being created on the energetic and etheric planes first before they anchor into the physical planes for all to experience. Observe the beauty and power of love unfolding. Even if you do not recognise or understand it, it is taking place with ease and perfection. You are reprograming all in order to awaken the power of love and facilitate miracles on the Earth. The more time you give to practising this exercise and transmission the more powerful it will become until you can recognise the powerful shifts and transmission the Venus Seed Codes of Love and Healing are creating. As well as recognising that they first are created in energetic or etheric form then with divine timing you experience them on the physical Earth.

Through this process we, the Venus Beings, will begin to reveal to you the divine plan of the Creator for the Earth, humanity and your own existence, encouraging you to recognise with greater understanding how we, the Venus Beings, are supporting ascension and what to expect to experience in your near future and ascension. We, the Venus Beings wish to work in close collaboration with you in reawakening the presence and power of love on the Earth.


In eternal Creator love,

The Venus Beings

Selacia: Fire Up Your Sacred Voice

lotus with candle 


Selacia: Fire Up Your Sacred Voice


Your inner fire is key to how you express your sacred voice in the world. Right now in these intense moments is a perfect time to energize your inner fire and balance it – helping you to express your unique voice and life mission. In this article I give the background of what this means on a practical and spiritual level.


About Your Voice

What is this voice? It is your active expression of soul in human form. It is the way you as a being materialize spirit here on Earth.


Examples: thoughts spoken out loud or written, music or other creative arts, and “voting” about what is important to you by how you spend your time and money.


Your voice is one of your treasures, in the package of gifts you received at birth. This gift must be used to have an impact. It can help you be a force of good in this world. It can help you accelerate your own enlightenment, too.


Current Energies and Emotions

Sometimes there can be challenges to fully express your voice and be all that you are meant to be. It’s not easy to be living now in a world being turned upside down and remade. Your passion to go to the next level on your path could be met with resistance, a brick wall, or surprises triggering frustration.


The current planetary energies are stirring a plethora of emotions and desires to break free from limitations. Everyone is feeling this on some level, even if they are unconscious to the feeling. The current emotional roller coaster can destabilize your fire energy and bring very old buried emotions to the surface.


When this happens, don’t judge it. Instead, look at it directly and welcome the old stuff coming up for you to heal and move beyond. The emotions you feel are not fatal. Move through them consciously to avoid acting on them with later regrets.


Emotions have a direct connection to your fire and ability to create what you want. When they are intelligently managed, they add positive qualities of passion and enthusiasm to your activities. Emotions poorly managed can be a toxic force in your creative process.


Divine at Core Level

At your core, you are divine. On this level, your fire is that sacred spark within that helps you positively engage with the world to make a difference. Your inner fire represents a living energy that is divine. It is the part of you that is timeless, creates fearlessly, and can transform out of old thinking and limiting life stories.


When you balance your fire, it’s easier to be in your heart. That’s the place you need to be to create abundance and success on all levels.


Your Active Love Presence

Connecting with your sacred fire indeed will help catalyze your active love presence in the world. It is this fire, when put into motion in your life, that helps you be the shining light you are meant to be – and to create miracles!
As your fire is balanced, the love that you are at your core can manifest more fully in everything that you do. Your loving presence can change a current challenge you may be having. It could also create a mega shift in your life circumstances.


Trust that Anything is Possible

Trust that anything is possible, including a grand finale clearing of an issue you have struggled with your whole life. Know that spirit is always right by your side.

Weekly Forecast: April 19 - 25, 2015 ~ a message from Kelly M. Beard


Weekly Forecast: April 19 - 25, 2015


Weekly Forecast:  April 19 - 25, 2015     
4/19 ~ Mercury (expression) ~sextile~ Neptune (dreams):


This is a great energy for being imaginative and intuitive. This is not an intellectual energy, you will have to rely on other senses, like feeling (intuition). You may be very perceptive as to what others are thinking or feeling. Try to avoid work that requires any attention to detail.  Allow your creativity to flow freely without censoring what comes through you at this time.  You can organize it later.  This is the energy to CREATE!


4/19 ~ Venus (art & beauty) ~square~ Neptune (vision):


This energy is great for creative flow. If you are artistically inclined in any way, you will have access to an energy that will allow you to create something amazing. This energy is not so good for relationships. There may be a tendency to idealize your partner, only to be let down by the reality of the situation. If your relationship happens to end under this influence, it's not necessarily a bad thing because it suggests that it was never on solid ground to begin with. Be thankful and move on.


4/20 ~ Mercury (expression) ~square~ Jupiter (truth):


This is usually a good energy, making you optimistic and positive. You are probably going to feel like setting some long-term goals. The only challenge with this energy is a tendency to overlook the details if they are not in line with YOUR plans. Just plan carefully and remember the big picture. Remain open and receptive to information that could help you down the road.


4/21 ~ Mars (energy) ~trine~ Pluto (transformation):


This is an active, transformative energy that will help you to change your life in a healthy, positive way. You may be especially focused on what needs to be DONE in your life at this time. You will want to take action and the Universe supports that decision, as long as it is righteous and not totally self-serving. This is a good time to get moving, take action regarding your long term goals - and you will be able to create momentum. You may realize some of your recent actions or choices do not necessarily support your deepest drives or desires. You must align within and without. Be creative ~ be brave!


4/22 ~ Mercury (inner-voice) ~trine~ Pluto (deep connection): 


This energy provokes deep delving WITHIN. You will be most inclined toward learning the meaning "behind the meaning". You will want to explore your inner Self and try to understand it better. It is best to be alone for such research. Take a day or a weekend and grab your most powerful books and music and get somewhere beautiful if you can, if not your bedroom will do just as well - and dig deep! You are finally ready for the deeper truth, and you will be transformed by what you learn. If you must communicate with others, plan on that being deep as well. Nothing superficial today. The only warning with this energy is not to become obsessive about one particular idea - and certainly don't try to force your particular opinion on others. If you feel the deep need to focus on one particular thing, that is fine but try to keep some perspective or write down all your revelations so you can reflect on them at a later time when you are more objective.


4/22 ~ Venus (relationships) ~sextile~ Jupiter (optimism):


This energy may help balance out the rest of the things happening this week (hopefully).  Try to tap into it if you can, but it is up against some major movement so don't be surprised if you miss its influence altogether.  It is usually an easy energy to deal with, usually involving friends and social activities; optimism and new friendships or relationships that help you be the best person you can be.  You will want to deal with positive, uplifting people under this influence.


4/22 ~ Mercury (thoughts) ~conjunct~ Mars (energy):


I have to preface this with two things: (1) is when Mercury is involved, it is a relatively fast-moving energy.  (2) is when Mars is involved, being the lower version of power (Pluto being the Higher version), reminds us that with power, also comes responsibility.  Now, that all said, the positive expression of this energy is that you can control your mind and direct it with passion, getting tangible results.  This heightens your intellectual ability and mental capacity (for better or worse).  You will be able to clearly articulate your thoughts and you should have quick, effective responses.  If you maintain your integrity, this is an excellent time to ‘fuel' major creative expression.  If this energy manifests is negative side, it can make you petty and combative, arguing over nonsense and wasting precious time and energy in ego control-dramas.  And if it is not coming FROM you, it is just as possible to be coming AT you (from others).  This is the best time to put your energy (Mars) behind your thoughts, ideas and words (Mercury).  The power of this pairing is that they are occupying the same space, essentially energizing each other.

NorthPoint Astrology Journal by Pam Younghans October 27 to November 2, 2014



NorthPoint Astrology Journal
by Pam Younghans
October 27 to November 2, 2014


Highlighted Aspects:MON: Neptune trine Venus, Ceres enters Sagittarius; TUE: Neptune trine Sun; THU: Neptune trine Pallas Athene, Mercury conjunct North Node; FRI: Neptune sesquisquare Mercury; SAT: Jupiter sextile Mercury, Pluto sextile Venus, Neptune sextile Mars; SUN: Jupiter sesquisquare Mars




OCTOBER HAS BEEN
, and continues to be, a very powerful month! On top of the astrological events we could foresee -- the eclipses and Mercury retrograde -- we now have heightened activity on the Sun as well. In the past three days, we've had three X-level solar flares, and so far today, another mid-range M-level flare.


Solar flares are explosions on the Sun, and are rated A, B, C, M or X, with X being the strongest. Within those letter designations, there are also levels of potency -- so an X-1 flare is at the low end of the X level, and the numbers go up from there.


In "real-world" terms, strong solar flares can affect electromagnetic fields on and around the Earth. Here's what SpaceWeather.com reports about these three recent X-level flares:


    "There was an X2 on Oct 22, an X3 on Oct. 24, and an X1 on Oct 25. All three of these explosions produced strong HF radio blackouts over the dayside of Earth. In each case, communications were disturbed over a wide area for approximately one hour. Such blackouts may be noticed by amateur radio operators, aviators, and mariners."


FOR THE MOST PART, science has yet to be convinced that humans are affected by electromagnetic events. But, I would guess that most who are reading this journal are of the opinion that, like the Earth itself, we have electromagnetic fields (auras) around us. And, just like the Earth, we receive and react to fluctuations in the energy field.


So, when SpaceWeather.com reports that HF radio signals were affected by the recent X flares, I think we can accept that part of our experience over the past few days has also been affected by those explosions of energy on the Sun.


TEACHER AND HEALER Jim Self writes this about the effect of solar flares upon us Earth beings:


  "As the charged particles pass through us, many things are happening in our emotional field, our thought/mental field and our physical body. Our DNA structure is expanding, and alterations are occurring in the way we receive and understand information, as well as how we experience and express ourselves. These light patterns are providing choice and realignment. Where we put our attention now is more critical than it ever has been before. If we focus on the external changes and challenges, the path of transformation will be far bumpier and less comfortable than if we cultivate allowing, rest and ease."


Is it any wonder many of us are on edge and/or exceptionally tired these days? There is a LOT going on energetically. Every energy wave requires us to make emotional, mental, and physical adjustments, on both consicous and unconscious levels.


WATERY NEPTUNE takes center stage this coming week, appearing nearly every day in our list of highlighted aspects. This is a very helpful influence as we assimilate the effects of last week's Solar Eclipse.


Neptune's lessons are always about Trust (yes, with a capital "T") and Unconditional Love. When Neptune is in flowing relationship with other planets, we seem to have greater access to those higher vibrational spiritual, creative and emotional aspects of our beings.


FOR THE FIRST HALF of the week, Neptune is fulfilling some of the spiritual/creative unfolding that was promised in last week's Solar Eclipse. The trine aspects that Neptune formed in the Solar Eclipse chart are exact on Monday (with Venus), on Tuesday (with the Sun), and on Thursday (with Pallas Athene).


That means that the beginning of this week is an especially fruitful time for us to access our creative muse, tap into the perspective of our high heart, and take that next step in our spiritual awareness and evolution.


THE OTHER Neptune aspects this week also support these developments, although there may be a small bump in the road on Friday, when our rational minds rebel against the other-worldly perspective that Neptune requires (Neptune sesquisquare Mercury). But by Saturday, we are feeling more fully in sync with that new perspective, and ready to take action based on the inspiration we receive (Neptune sextile Mars).


That forward progress is encouraged by the other planets, too. On Saturday, Jupiter and Mercury work together to excite us with new creative ideas, while Pluto works with Venus to encourage collaboration with others who share our passion. Even the Jupiter-Mars sesquisquare on Sunday, which is technically a somewhat challenging aspect, may only cause difficulty if we forget to check our egos at the door.
