Aquarius Lunar Eclipse: Free Your Wings

July 27, 2018 By Jacqueline

“Every Individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the whole universe.” Alan Watts

Free your wings.png 200x300 - Aquarius Lunar Eclipse: Free Your WingsTake a leap and fly towards the sun,
the sky is a door.
Go and let go.
Freedom is not for the chosen few.

No patience for untangling the web.
Persistence of vision
through the labyrinth of mirrors.

The speed of light will free your wings
as you step into the unknown.
Go and let go.
Your breath and the universe are one.


“I’ll tell you right now, the doors to the world of the wild self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door; if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much that you almost cannot bear it, that is a door. If you yearn for a deeper life, a full life, a sane life, that is a door.” Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Eclipses are always a bit or a lot strange, eh? The irrational is enhanced and we find ourselves in a particularly unstable time. Emotions are aroused and seek expression, although there is rationalization, distancing or difficulty in expressing feelings and many are apt to “act out” rather than “feel in”. Impulsiveness runs high and perhaps there are a series of circumstances when caution is thrown into the wind and we just have to run with it.

The eclipse axis in air and fire may result in impatience and frustration as the “stop and go” quality of Mars and Mercury retrograde turns our attention to previously unconsidered paths of action or thought. This eclipse prompts a changing of minds.

Mars is opposite the Sun, a significant point of tension in the retrograde cycle, fueling strength, determination, anger and competition. Uranus squares both Mars and Sun at the eclipse and Mars reaches its exact square to Uranus by August 1st. It is a volatile and powerful time of extremes. BOOM!

Get the Mars transmission – go outside and see Mars in the night sky! It is at its brightest from July 27 to July 30. Mars comes closest to Earth every two years during the Mars retrograde cycle.

crisis (n.)
early 15c., crise, crisis, “decisive point in the progress of a disease,” also “vitally important or decisive state of things, point at which change must come, for better or worse,” from Latinized form of Greek krisis “turning point in a disease, that change which indicates recovery or death” (used as such by Hippocrates and Galen), literally “judgment, result of a trial, selection,” from krinein “to separate, decide, judge,” from PIE root *krei- “to sieve,” thus “discriminate, distinguish.”

What are the doors that are opening in my life?

Where am I drawn to “break the rules” of my conditioning?

What is the identity or habit that I am shedding?

Note any recollections about the summers of 1999 and 1980, as previous lunar eclipses at the same degree in Aquarius were July 28, 1999, July 27, 1980.

“Just wanted to thank you again for doing such a great chart for me and taking so much time to explain it in depth. It was enormously helpful in all ways.” Margaret W.

Solar Eclipse Cancer: Confrontation

July 12, 2018 By Jacqueline

“I want to feel both the beauty and the pain of the age we are living in. I want to survive my life without becoming numb. I want to speak and comprehend words of wounding without having these words becoming the landscape where I dwell. I want to possess a light touch that can elevate darkness to the realm of stars.” Terry Tempest Williams

shaping spirit by Debra Bernier 300x300 - Solar Eclipse Cancer: ConfrontationMoon shadows the Sun.
The edges of power
and powerlessness,
the haves and have-nots.
Conflict and struggle
brings awareness…
or numbness and avoidance.

“Edges are important because they define a limitation in order to deliver us from it. When we come to an edge we come to a frontier that tells us that we are now about to become more than we have been before. As long as one operates in the middle of things, one can never really know the nature of the medium in which one moves.” William Irwin Thompson, The Time Falling Bodies Take to Light

Each of us holds the seeds
to nurture and grow
beyond the limitations of fear.

We must seed this new cycle
with sensitivity and emotional attunement.
There are further challenges ahead.
Now is our time to affirm a place for nourishment, nurturing and inner security.

“With our actions every day, and just by being our truest self, we are a conduit of possibilities for others. Just by living the best lives we can, the kindest, the most compassionate, we have done something to sustain and illuminate a path to freedom.” Sharon Salzberg

A Solar Eclipse changes the way we perceive the order of our lives. We see darkness where we depend on seeing light. The shadow is more obscure. The light is more brilliant. The grand display of contrast can accentuate a sharp focus of clarity.

A shadow is created by the Moon, voice of instinct and mystery of the unconscious. The seed of this new moon incorporates the shadow. In the sign of Cancer this may manifest as hiding in a shell of self-protection while avoiding what needs to be seen. Dysfunctional nostalgia. Feelings of being threatened or thwarted.

Saros Cycles: Series of Eclipses

In the grand cosmos of magnificent and mysterious design, a solar eclipse is not an isolated event. The Babylonians discovered that each eclipse is part of a larger pattern spanning over a thousand years. The Solar Eclipse of July 12, 2018 is in the Saros Series 2 Old North. Recent dates in this cycle include July 1, 2000, June 21, 1982, June 10, 1964 and May 30, 1946.

The first eclipse in this series was June 24, 792 (not a typo – yes, 792!) This partial eclipse is the next-to-the-last eclipse before the series ends in 2036. Here we have an Saros Series (nearing the completion of its cycle) that has a theme of separations and endings in relationships. This theme resonates on a worldwide basis, as refugee families are torn asunder. The world history of domination and greed is an old story. The trauma resonates through our collective bones. The world is getting smaller. It’s time for compassionate consciousness to grow larger and evolve anew.

Pluto, “Lord of the Underworld” is exactly opposite this eclipse, bringing a quality of ruthless confrontation to the themes life and death. There is power in persistence and in knowing when to let go. Unconscious needs are intensified. A significant time for revealing inner motivations.

☽ Cancer Solar Eclipse Seeds of Inquiry & Contemplation ☼

What are the life-defeating memories I cling to?

What are the old stories that undermine me?

Spit out the poison. Drink from a nourishing cup.

What part of my life needs nourishment, care and attention?

Can I ask for help?

Each present moment is an ever arising opportunity to discern the validity of our instincts, our gut level intelligence and make conscious choices from a place of integrity.

Capricorn Full Moon: Vein of Gold

June 27, 2018 By Jacqueline

“In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.” Wilma Mankiller

Limits frame our viewpoint. 200x300 - Capricorn Full Moon: Vein of Gold Bright sunbeams of Summer Solstice,
the pebble in your shoe,
and the boulder in the road.
Exuberance and obstacles.

Limits frame our viewpoint.

Life force contained, tethered or
bound to the weight of the world.

The pressure of polarity:
heavy handed rules,
restrictive oppression
and the insistent voices within.

Dysfunctional patriarchy
and the resistance of inner authority.
The tension of power and responsibility
to self, family and community.

Each life is precious,
the inner life is gold.
Full Moon shines into the cracks and crevices.
Find the map.
follow the veins of gold,
hear the wisdom of your ancestors speak
deep in the dense matrix of life.

“‎The desire to reach the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise and most possible.” – Maya Angelou

Full Moon tightly conjunct Saturn (Capricorn’s ruler) is not a comfortable pair. This is the first Full Moon in Capricorn since the Saturn ingress to Capricorn on December 19, 2017. Reality hits home. The seriousness and reserve we may appreciate about Capricorn and Saturn can be downright gloomy and depressed now. Paired with the Moon <sigh> , the mood can be overly cautious, fearful and pessimistic. We are more inclined to put up fortresses than to go with the flow. Make a cozy nest and be kind to yourself and others… OK?

Mars in Aquarius, fresh in the retrograde quest (June 26-August 27), incites impatience, rebelliousness, and anger. Some individuals will face the inevitable when Mars conjuncts the South Node in mid-July. Mars revisits Capricorn (mid-August) bringing a revolutionary impulse into the status quo. Anger must be handled appropriately or there will likely be a backlash.

We are also heading into Eclipse season, with a triple-header this year: July 12, July 27 and August 11. Instability and synchronicity rearrange the mundane.

“Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different.” Neil Gaiman

Does self-sufficiency alienate me from my partner, friends and/or family?

How may I provide structure and stability for my emotions and create a sense of inner safety?

How may I be attuned to my feelings without allowing my emotional experience to interfere with my work?

“This morning I realized I needed to let my rational brain rest a bit, or a lot… I only want to listen and let you be the oracle that you are, and absorb the message you bring to me. Thank you for what you do and who you are! ” J. K.

Gemini New Moon: Multifaceted Jewel

June 11, 2018 By Jacqueline

For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.
T.S. Elliot

You are here..png 200x300 - Gemini New Moon: Multifaceted JewelDiscover yourself in the kaleidoscope
of lost and found,
crossed wires, change of plans turned around.
Fresh breath of clarity, please.

In the maze of information,
dashed pieces, pick-up sticks
and fragments of your imagination.
Too much distraction,
turn the dial down low.

Remain curious in the mandala of life,
the connection between all things
and the designs within.

Allow the duality of life
to encourage flexibility
and objective awareness.
Whose life are you living?

Turn your head around,
a moment in and out of time,
and the bits and pieces of the kaleidoscope shift.
To be the music and muse this curious life
with fascination, laughter and delight.

Multifaceted jewel of a Gemini New Moon.

“Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.” Frida Kahlo

What new ideas are awakening in my life?

How may I be selective about where I direct my attention?

How may I refresh my mind each day?

How may I change my attitude?

“Thank you so much for the astrology reading yesterday. My experience of the reading is energizing, validating, providing me with more perspective. After I left your magically grounded office, I felt a lot of energy, yet a certain settled peace in my core. Whether it is from the actual information or from your energy and attention, I felt a sense of well-being.”

Sagittarius Full Moon: Uplifting Truth

May 28, 2018 By Jacqueline

Dream delivers us to dream and there is no end to illusion. 200x300 - Sagittarius Full Moon: Uplifting TruthThe Sun’s powerful brilliance
is captured by the Full Moon
at night
overflowing moonlight spills
upon every pathway,
mountain and river.
Though city light’s glare
diffuses and scatters heaven’s lights
and tricks our eyes,
no one is immune to the lunar tides
that ebb and flow within.

“Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is like a train of moods, like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue. . . . ” Ralph Waldo Emerson

Moon face turns toward us
and translates through the lens of Sagittarius.
The lens is expansive and multi-faceted,
we look towards diversity and possibilities.

On the quest for truth,
some will twist the facts and trumpet righteousness.
The truth path is wide, not exaggerated
inclusive, rather than exclusive.

The opportunities are here
to question and quest,
to be inspired by the cosmic wisdom of eternity
and to be bold and outspoken
of the truth that uplifts rather than divide.

The tension of this full moon is how
to apply our inspired perspective and philosophy
into the conversation of daily life.

Allow the tension to empower your intentions.

You are the arrow and you are the bow.
Full Moon flame. Full Moon fire.
Allow the tension to empower your meaningful intentions
and release your flaming arrow of truth.

Sagittarius Full Moon : Spaciousness

A grand trine in water stands out in the design of this month’s full moon. The positive tendency is to awaken inspired sensuality and compassion. The imbalance is indulgence in excess and avoidance of truth and understanding. It is important to wake up with the realization that we are all in this together. There is danger in escapist (and often addictive) behavior and the retreat into ideals that we think will shelter us from our collective reality.

Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius) retrograde in Scorpio, can urge us to dig for truth and meaning. Neptune in Pisces dissolves boundaries with the potential to inspire compassion. Venus in Cancer resonates with love for home, family, safety and nostalgia.

“There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.” Aldous Huxley

How may my senses, in both discomfort and delight, inform and inspire me with meaningful understanding?

What is meaningful in my life?

How am I living and practicing my truth in everyday life?

Am I living my life with my eyes open?

“I’ve learned so much from your understanding of me, whenever you speak to me about myself, I listen hard
