NorthPoint Astrology Journal: Your weekly guide to planetary influences September 28 to October 4, 2020 by Pam Younghans

NorthPoint Astrology Journal Your weekly guide to planetary influences September 28 to October 4, 2020 by Pam Younghans Aspects of Note This Week   All times listed are Pacific Daylight Time. For Greenwich Mean Time, add 7 hours.    MON: Venus quincunx Saturn, Venus trine Mars, Saturn stations direct TUE: Sun opposite Chiron, Mars square Saturn WED: Mercury sesquiquadrate Neptune THU: Full Moon in Aries, 2:05 p.m. PDT FRI: Venus opposite Ceres, Sun quincunx Uranus, Venus enters Virgo SAT: Jupiter parallel Pluto, Mars conjunct Eris, Mercury quincunx Chiron SUN: Pluto stations direct   THERE'S a storm a-brewin'. At times like these, our efforts are best focused in setting boundaries and staying calm. We realize that our main work is to maintain our balance, since we cannot stop the incoming waves, nor stem the tides that are turning.   The two tides that are in the process of turning are Saturn and Pluto, both of which go direct this week after being retrograde since April. When planets come to a standstill to change direction, we feel their influence more strongly -- and in a year that began with the life-changing Saturn-Pluto conjunction, to have both planets at a standstill at virtually the same time makes this a pivotal week in a very pivotal year.   We can expect delays and frustrations (Saturn) this week, as well as more evidence of dysfunctional systems that must be either renovated or scrapped completely (Pluto).   ADDING to the complexity of these days, Saturn is tightly square warrior Mars as the Ringed Planet stations direct on Monday. If we've been feeling controlled by circumstances recently, the pressure of this square may feel especially oppressive. It represents obstacles to the fulfillment of our desires, and tempts us to drink from a deep well of futility, if we take it all too much to heart.   One key to navigating this square is to call upon the qualities of wisdom, detachment, and objectivity. The more we are able to keep events in perspective, and not overreact, the easier our passage through the storm will be.   A SECOND TACTIC is to take things quite literally one step at a time. If there's an issue to be resolved, just find the next piece of the puzzle, rather than trying to figure out how the whole picture will come together. It will be too easy to go into overwhelm if we have that expectation.   Basically, we can't see around the corner with a square aspect. We are mostly aware of the obstacle in front of us. That obstacle can evoke irritation at one end of the spectrum, fear at the other end, and anger somewhere in the middle.   Actions motivated by any of these lower-vibrational emotions are likely to backfire. If you're feeling impatient, like you have to do it NOW or you will burst, stop. Take a breath. Take your time. Consider that it might be your instinctive reactions, not the situation itself, that are creating the sense of urgency.   IT MAY HELP to remember that with Mars retrograde right now, we are meant to be going inward to discover our true motivations. Certain obstacles may be in the way specifically to give us the time to reconsider where we are going, and why. We are also learning not to base our well-being on whether everything goes according to plan, nor on whether we feel our individual desires are being met.   One of the take-away lessons of this Mars-Saturn square is that our well-being need not be controlled by external events. Another learning is that the fulfillment of our desires may not depend on the manifestations we once thought were essential to our well-being.   WE HAVE two Full Moons on the calendar for October. The first occurs this Thursday, October 1, at 2:05 p.m. PDT (9:05 p.m. GMT). The Moon will be at 09°08´ Aries, with the Sun at the same degree of Libra.   Emotional responses are always elevated around the time of a Full Moon; with this lunation in impatient Aries – and with Mars, the natural ruler of Aries, square Saturn – we can expect that feelings will be running hot, but will not necessarily be channeled maturely or to best advantage. Given that Mars is retrograde, the anger that is released now may be the result of impulses that have been repressed for quite a while, which means that the response can be out of proportion to current triggers.   BUT, this Full Moon also represents a major healing opportunity, with the Moon just two degrees away from Wounded Healer Chiron. If we find ourselves acting out of insecurity or fear – the shadow side of Chiron in Aries – we are being directed by the universe to take a break, to sit with the part of us that is feeling these emotions, and to hold it lovingly in our awareness while we tell it that we understand, and that we're sorry it's afraid.   This inner child work, when done purposefully – and out loud – has a healing effect deep within our psyches. It is a powerful way both to help heal a fearful part of our nature, and to strengthen a part of us that knows it is competent and able to handle any situation that might arise.   MARS is at the same degree as the dwarf planet Eris at the time of the Full Moon, with their exact conjunction occurring on Saturday. The alignment of these two warrior planets is highly energizing, especially for those who have felt ignored, disrespected, or victimized by the ones who appear to have power and control.   However, with both Mars and Eris currently retrograde, actions taken under this influence may not have the expected results. The advice once again is to take your time. If taking action, be sure you are inwardly composed and in alignment with your soul. Our soul speaks to us in a voice that is calm and calming, even if it is guiding us to take steps that require courage.   JUPITER AND PLUTO are exactly parallel by declination on Saturday. This is a similar energy to a conjunction, but calculated based on their distance from the ecliptic (celestial equator), instead of according to their zodiac degree. Some astrologers believe that the declination is the most potent type of alignment, so this event is another important factor this week.   When working together with a higher vibrational intent, Jupiter and Pluto can manifest as strong determination and will. They enhance our ability to align with our higher destiny and support a passionate commitment to what we believe in. But, when used without integrity, they can also result in excessive pride and self-righteousness, and a relentless drive for power. How we use this energy is up to each of us individually. PLUTO stations direct in Capricorn next Sunday (October 4), which means that its transformational energies are heightened this week and next. Throughout this year, Pluto (with the help of Saturn and Jupiter) has been making it very clear which systems and structures do and do not work. It has also helped expose corruption in governments and social institutions. As the dwarf planet begins to move forward over the coming weeks, it will be taking us to the next level of transmutation.   With Pluto, it is always helpful to remember that it is the planet of both death and rebirth. Its process is aptly symbolized by the legendary Phoenix, which is reborn only after being consumed by fire. The disintegration phase is a necessary step, and requires that we release what has been so that we can embrace the new life that lies just ahead.   IF YOUR BIRTHDAY IS THIS WEEK: This year, it is especially important to notice where you do not give yourself equal rights, where you habitually deny your own needs or postpone your own agenda. Libra is highly motivated by the desire to help others feel welcome and supported, but can sometimes be less aware of its own needs. Chiron's influence in your life this year asks you to pay attention to when your mouth is saying "yes" but your gut is saying "no." Give yourself the freedom and space to get in touch with what you really feel and think. Make the commitment to be as kind to yourself as you usually are to others. (Solar Return Sun square Pallas Athene, opposite Chiron, quincunx Uranus)   In Gratitude and Light,   Pam   NorthPoint Journal © 2020 Pam Younghans. All Rights Reserved.  About the NorthPoint Journal   Astrologer Pam Younghans writes this NorthPoint Journal based on planetary influences and insights received.

Shanta Gabriel: Removing Obstacles from Your Life Path

We are drawing on the compassionate and timeless wisdom of The Gabriel Messages to provide insight and inspiration that we can apply every day of our lives.

This message from Archangel Gabriel helps us to be aligned with what we truly want to experience in life, and remember that we are not here to do it all alone.
 

The Gabriel Message Card for this Week

Pray to Remove All Obstacles to the Source of Divine Light

Recently when I was struggling with overwhelm, I was reminded that I was acting as though I was the only one working in my business life, when in truth I have a Senior Partner — with a capital S!


My Senior Partner, who is of course, God, the Source of Divine Light, the Infinite Intelligence, who is aligned with the highest good of my Soul. All I need to do is remember I am not alone, turn over all the details and the intention for which I am working and allow this Divine Presence to step in to assist me.


In times of great overwhelm, it’s easy to forget the spiritual basics! I paid attention and placed all the myriad needs on my altar. I then asked for Divine Order and Balance to be present in those situations, before offering all my work expression into the Divine Hands of my Senior Partner. What a difference it made! The overwhelming burdens I had been feeling were gracefully uplifted and the project that I was working on unfolded in miraculous ways.


I know that miracles are the ordinary unfolding of a prayer-centered life, but still I am always a little in awe when small prayerful actions change my experience in practical ways so gracefully. This is truly what I want to experience in every area of my life. I continue to ask the Source of Divine Light to work with me in my spiritual, mental, and emotional life. And this recent demonstration reminded me that my Senior Partner will always assist me with the spiritual entrepreneurship that is my work in the world. I need only to remember and ask with greater intention.


My work is the gift I have been given in order to serve God in beautiful ways. Because it is the outworking of my prayers for my Soul's mission on Earth, it is especially important that I remember to include the Divine in all aspects of my life.


Divine Presence:

Thank you for lifting the burden of overwhelm that comes from thinking I am doing any of this work in the world alone. Thank you for bringing me the creative solutions, helpful ideas, and revelations I need to expand into greater levels of loving expression in my work. I am grateful for the beautiful people who can support me as well as those who can benefit from my Soul's gifts.


Thank you for removing all obstacles to clear communication with my Higher Self and my guidance system. Once more I dedicate all that I am doing to creating more Peace and Love within me and within the hearts of all beings. I ask that all of humanity may be blessed to bring their Soul's gifts forward to serve the world in beautiful ways. Thank you God. And so it is.

The Gabriel Messages Book #42   Pray to remove all obstacles to the Source of Divine Light. Dear One, When you pray to remove all obstacles, you are expressing your desire for full communion with God. You are asking for all that is in the way of your connection with the Divine Presence to be removed, so that you can consciously feel your alignment with love. God is your partner in life. Prayer is the key to remind you of this partnership. Prayer is a deep and powerful action bringing you into the right frame of mind so your life will work for you in happier ways. Prayer is a tool for opening your heart. It brings love into every situation. Love is the greatest healing energy that exists in the world, so it serves you well to bring love into your life in a conscious way through prayer. True communion with Spirit is a state of enlightenment. It is fully loving, courageous, free, and filled with joy. It is the happy state of knowing that the Divine Presence is always there to turn to so you never feel alone. When you achieve the conscious awareness of your oneness with God, you will look at life from a state of joy, not fear. You will feel a sense of peace within you. In this state of Divine communion, your true freedom exists. Pray with your heart, open your mind and be willing for miraculous changes to take place in your life. You were meant to be happy and at peace. You deserve all that is good. Know that you are a beloved child of the Source of all Light. It is possible to live in love and full communion with God. The Angels are assisting you to make this deep connection at all times. You can call upon their grace to make joy your ever-present reality. To have more harmony within yourself today, remember this simple suggestion from Archangel Gabriel:   Pray to remove all obstacles to the Source of Divine Light. Shanta Gabriel for Archangel Gabriel November 25, 2018 ShantaGabriel.com Hold the Light for Peace on Earth   Join our 7-day Spiritual Practice to Inspire Peace on Earth & Good Will Within All Humanity                         Make Ready to Enjoy the Blessings of the Holidays   Do you experience the holiday season as stressful or overwhelming? Would you like to have the Holy Days feel more enjoyable and significant?   For just 20 minutes every day, you can join in an international group creating a sacred spiritual practice to bless your own holiday season and bring the Light of Wellbeing and Peace to the Earth. Starting December 1, we have an opportunity to transform our perceptions of this holiday season while holding a higher intention for the Earth. The power of group prayer has been demonstrated and proven in many studies, and has been practiced in the Eastern traditions for centuries. Before you decide you can't do one more thing before the holidays because that will feel overwhelming, don't worry. You get to choose how much time and focus you have to spend on your spiritual practice. And the rewards far outweigh the small time commitment. Everyone has their own history when it comes to the holidays. What is most important is that there is an intention for Peace, Joy and Good Will inherent in the holiday period, regardless of whether or not we have been able to experience that. Our expansive intention has powerful frequencies that radiate into the world creating change! Holding these attitudes as a group, raises the vibration of the collective energetic field, which creates harmony and Divine connection through our interactions. Even though we feel like escaping from pressures of life, nowadays we don't have the luxury of leaving the world for spiritual practice. Our ashram has become Life itself. As we know, the upcoming holiday period brings with it a certain amount of mass-conscious anxiety. We all need to be centered, strengthened and empowered to be ready to stay in our hearts as much as we can during the holidays. In that way we can become the true blessings that we are to ourselves, our families, and the world. As each of us allow our bodies to be flooded by the Light of Peace and Wellbeing during our Anusthan (a dedicated practice from ancient India), we empower these qualities to be anchored on the Earth. We are also radiating these empowered frequencies from our spiritual practice out into the world, like beacon lights set onto a mountain top. We will begin our group spiritual practice on December 1 for a dedicated period through December 7. At the same time every day for seven days, we will each sit in our own sacred space and raise our frequencies in spiritual practice dedicated to Peace on Earth and Wellbeing for the holidays. Even the simple ritual of lighting a candle every day with intention can raise the frequencies to bring more Peace and Wellbeing into your life. Every day you will receive a message from Archangel Gabriel, anchoring the experience of the group as well as for you personally. There is a 26-page E-book that offers suggestions for your personal spiritual practice. Will you join us?

"I wanted to share with you the profound nature that I am experiencing during the first 3 days of the Anusthan... I don't have words at times to describe other than utter bliss, joy and such deep love that I feel my heart will burst at the beauty of this life...I can't even begin to express my deep gratitude to you and all that are involved in this Anusthan..I feel truly blessed to be a part of this beautiful process." "I am so glad you are going to continue the Anusthan so those of us who want to help the world have a support group and focused cause. It can be very lonely when you feel like you're the only one you know who wants to work energetically to create a better world." "Your writing and messages are magnificent!!

"The road block is not the end, it's a detour to a better route" - Dr. Taryn Crimi

"The road block is not the end, it's a detour to a better route"


Today we would like to focus your attention upon your holographic reality; one which appears to be so very real as it seemingly fabricates the challenges that you face and the obstacles that you must surmount. Now, this is not to say that the obstacles do not exist, rather we would say they exist from your minds perspective. You have the ability to change the picture any time that you wish, all you must do is change your focus and more importantly, your vibration.


We would like to dedicate this message to those of you who are in need of some re-focusing so that the images that appear before you are more in line with what you wish to see. As we have said many times, the perceiver is responsible for determining whether any experience is seen as positive or negative. There are many extremes within your reality and you are capable of seeing both the positive and negative in any and all circumstances.


Certainly, it is easy to become engrossed in your everyday lives, within the struggles and difficulties that each one of you undoubtedly face. But we would like to remind you that you are not the body that you walk upon your Earth in, you are a limitless soul who seeks to express itself in every way possible. You have no boundaries or limitations other than the ones you place upon yourselves. We see so many become disheartened in their search to create the life they wish to manifest when they become so caught up in how their dreams are allowed to manifest.


They cannot see that the road block they temporarily experience is simply placed upon their path to ensure that they are rerouted to a more direct and appropriate path in which to reach their desired destination. The road block is not the end dear, it is simply a detour to a better route.


So very often so many are creating dreams based upon what they think they can actually manifest, rather than what they truly wish to create for themselves. Essentially many find themselves settling for far less because they do not dare to dream for more. We remind you, just because it isn’t here yet, doesn’t mean it isn’t coming. Do not believe all that you see before you, as it is projected by the thoughts and fears that you hold within your mind. Feed your dreams by starving your fears. Both cannot remain in the same space as they require opposite vibrations to manifest.


You must focus your attention so strongly upon the faith that you have in your ability to create all that you wish to create so that the fears have no other option but to fall away. This is how you dismantle the holographic images of fear as they cannot remain on your path if you hold your focus upon your desired outcome so intently that no other outcome could possibly manifest. The fears and worries that you have for tomorrow are not here in your now.


Remember, it is not your job to determine how your desires are allowed to manifest; you must only focus upon what you desire to create. It will come if you let it; it must as life is simply a mirror reflecting back to you all that you project upon this holographic screen, which you currently believe to be your reality. It is of your own making. Look past your fears, and focus your attention upon that which you wish to bring to you. You can begin right now to wipe away the images upon your life “screen” that generate fear within you as you fuel your dreams with your faith that you can create so much more. Remember, it’s just a dream, so dream something great!


We hope that we have served you in some way and that our message finds those of you who are in need of it most.

John Smallman: The Light of God’s Love shines brilliantly upon you dissolving all obstacles and misunderstanding.

The Light of God’s Love shines brilliantly upon you dissolving all obstacles and misunderstanding.

04/23/2016 by John Smallman

Saul Audio Blog for Saturday April 23rd

 

We are all one, if we were not we would not feel this intense sense of longing for relationship, to be connected, to be loved, to be seen, to be recognized, because to be truly separated would mean that there was no need and no longing or desire for connectedness. Oneness is our eternal nature from which we can never be separated. The sense of separation that almost everyone on Earth experiences is due to a sense of loss brought on by the lingering faint memory that all have of connectedness to Source.


You are One with Source, but in the game of separation that humanity is playing it seems that Source is an external Entity utterly removed from humanity, perhaps even unaware of humanity. And that is extremely painful for one who feels lost and whose only wish is to be eternally loved – and every human is that lost one, adrift in an ocean of Love and seemingly unable to access It.


Access is always available, but it requires you to release your hold on the illusory aspects of the illusion, namely, to name just a few: judgment, blame, guilt, envy, resentment, hatred, and any desires for restitution from those who have wronged you, or for their punishment.


Love is Love. Within It there is no space for anything that is not in complete alignment with It, because in Itself it is already utterly complete. All sentient life is complete because it is Love, and there are no exceptions to this. All the negative judgmental and condemnatory aspects of the illusion, and the other aspects that are in concurrence with them, are unreal and cannot enter into Reality, the only state of existence. What is unreal remains forever unreal, unseen and unacknowledged by Love because it is absent, not present, not anywhere.


For eons holy ones, mystics, guides, and prophets have come among you to inform you of this, and for eons they have been ignored or misunderstood. Finally, however, awareness that conflict, hostility, hatred, and a desire or intent to punish wrongdoers or enemies is self-defeating and does not work is being acknowledged by large numbers of humans in all parts of the world. As a result, at the grassroots level, choices are being made to come together in friendship with those of different beliefs, cultures, nationalities, and lifestyles, to discuss and identify the many areas in which they have the same needs and desires, and to understand the differences between them that lead to conflict in order to resolve them for the benefit of all.


What is occurring all across your beautiful planet at this moment in your spiritual evolution is truly amazing. Suddenly, over a few decades, people, who lived in constant fear of those who were in any way different from themselves, are coming together respectfully to honor one another in peaceful dialogue and to learn to understand each other’s customs and lifestyles so that humanity may be healed. Love heals, and all across the world people are coming together with the intent to love and heal each other. The collective intent has been made to accept and honor one another without exception, and so it will be achieved. Yes, of course there will be backslidings, and errors will be made, but the collective intent to heal one another has been made, and so worldwide healing of enmities and disagreements will be achieved.


And what is your task as a Light bearer, Light holder, or Light worker? Well, you do know, because you have been told and reminded so often, and it is to be loving in every moment and in every situation, knowing, as you do, that all are One, and that when you honor and respect this truth the Light of God’s Love shines brilliantly upon you dissolving all obstacles and misunderstandings, allowing peace to prevail.


However, to the vast majority of humanity, the illusion appears to be very real, and there is definitely great suffering being experienced all over the planet. It also seems that to be vulnerable and loving leaves one open to abuse and betrayal, and it can be clearly seen that abuse and betrayal have been endemic on Earth for eons. What has now entered humanity’s awareness is the realization that attempting to heal the people and the planet without changing the whole system of hierarchical governance which benefits only those at the centers of power cannot succeed. Continuing to use militaristic methods of problem solving that blatantly do not work to establish peace on Earth is clearly insane.


Those methods were devised to maintain the power in the hands of an oligarchy of major world powers that in turn supported sycophantic autocrats placed in strategic locations to control and enslave their respective populations. The latter would from time to time be overthrown by local revolutions giving the impression that people power could be effective, while at the same time ensuring that the oligarchy continued to hold the reins of power.


As education became available to greater and greater numbers of people, first through the invention of the printing press which led to large numbers of formerly illiterate peoples learning to read and exchange ideas, followed much more recently by instant worldwide communication becoming available to all, awareness of the hypocrisy in the rhetoric used by those in high places as they have struggled to maintain their positions of influence and power is now widespread.


There are now movements and organizations established all over the world that are working most effectively to build new smaller systems that will suit the needs of their own local communities and fill the void as the old system crumbles, as it is now doing, and then collapses. They are based on respecting and honoring the people they will be serving – in the true sense of that word – as they operate locally with proper understanding of local needs. The time of vast governments and international business conglomerates is coming to an end because it is clearly seen that they have been extremely damaging for humanity and the planet – enslavers and destroyers instead of guardians and mentors, humanity’s true rôle.


Change is in the air, and there are very few who are not to some extent aware that this is so. As enlightened groups of loving people all over the world continue to set up caring communities to assist in creating a New World where Love is the energy that flows creatively and harmoniously, all will find that they have an essential part to play and for which they will be truly honored. No one will be abandoned, left by the wayside struggling to adapt, because the sense of community that is growing worldwide will lovingly embrace all who are in need, ensuring that all are seen, acknowledged, and encouraged to take their place in the community of which they are members.


The Tsunami of Love is all-encompassing, all-embracing, and now fully established worldwide. When you make your daily or more frequent journey within, to your holy inner sanctuary, open your hearts W I D E so that the full intensity of Its Presence suffuses you with the warmth and certainty of your complete acceptance as a beloved child of God in an unchanging and eternal relationship with your loving Father.
With so very much love, Saul.
