May you re-state your commitment to being here.

On March 11th at 3:51 PM EDT, the Moon renews herself in the 22nd degree of Pisces. This is the last New Moon of the relatively placid period we’ve enjoyed since early December. There is a lot I want to say about it.

“The very best expression of Pisces is to be in exile from the Divine while still opening one’s soul to search and longing.” Ellias Lonsdale

This Full Moon is one of the pivotal points in the astrology of this year. What we are needing to do, what is being asked, the theme of our times you might say… is that we cease to sense ourselves as separate from each other or the Earth. We need to learn what it means for us as individuals to be human and we need to learn to see that same basic humanity in all the people of the world. Because what we will see then is that every one of us came here to experience and express “exile from the divine.” Only then will we embrace ourselves and each other with a recognition that the Earth herself is the expression of the Divine we have been seeking all along.

2013 Aquarius New Moon

22° Aquarius

 
At 2:20 AM Eastern on February 10th, the Moon is New in the 22nd degree of Aquarius. This Moon opens the cycle in which Saturn will station retrograde for the next 5 months and so offers significant insight into the astrology of 2013.

Thematically speaking, the first 3 Lunar months of 2013 are asking us to value the work of evolving. In other words, while it would have been nice if on 12.21.12 we all became fluffy butterflies of radiant golden light, there have been some rather denser experiences since then. And so the impulse, the temptation, is to drop the ball, to resign ourselves to being encased in our karmas.

But everything we wanted to be true about 12.21 is still real, it’s just that the relationship with spirit is interactive and we’ve actually got to demonstrate some of our own perseverance here. There is work involved, and it has to do with continually opening and allowing what is to be, to be grateful for what is as a perfect opportunity, and to create an energy of welcoming so that more and more can flow through us.

The passage of time itself has to happen if we are going to get where we’re going – what are you holding onto? What that you “know” has become obsolete? Continue

Let the Game of 2013 Begin!

Gather together. We have work to do.

For the last several years, we’ve enjoyed the post-holiday period without hard retrogrades.

It’s sort of like we’ve been offered a couple of months to rest, to just be. Like there’s a been a little bit of a spiritual vacation granted between Uranus going direct in early December and Saturn going retrograde in February. This pattern goes back to at least 2008.
