Contemplative Thoughts Heading into 2013

 

I find it interesting that as we move past the Solstice point of 2012 that so much misinformation is flying around regarding the so called Mayan Apocalypse.  Daily on the news we are bombarded with senseless tragic stories that can grip us and send us into a negative state of reflection, during this most magical and potent of times.

It is funny that as much as I have loved the study of the occult, from the time that I was a teenager, the Mayan end date for their calendar never really struck me as important.  And yet, the sync nature of my studies led me to take a closer look at the end date based on books that stood out to me on two separate occasions at the book store.  Red Ice Radio I believe was the first point that got me in touch with Dr. Carl Johan Calleman and Barbara Hand Clow and their synthesis of his Calleman Matrix, in which Dr. Calleman unlocked the time acceleration factor that exists within the calendar.  Getting in touch with both of their theories regarding 2012 served as a beneficial tool for unlocking the patterns that were occurring within current events of the collective, as I listened to radio interviews with both of these teachers that linked the cycles of time to current events at specific points throughout 2011, I realized that human are led by a force greater than themselves.  Throughout time the human race has lived in cycles, and Dr. Calleman does and excellent job tracking these cycles in his book The Mayan Calendar and the Transformation of Consciousness.  Hand Clow then took Calleman's theories and merged them with her own in her analysis within the book Mayan Code.

In fact Calleman's theory for the Mayan Calendar placed the end date at the end of October 2011 (on the same day that the occupy movement began to sweep the nation) so according to these two researchers the Mayan end date had come and gone months ago.  And yet, I feel it is important to note that the Mayans understood time cycles and patterns.  And therefore, with the end date comes a rebirth, where things start anew.  This fact is embedded within the symbol of the circle, in which the Mayan calendar is.  In Tarot the allusion for the wheel of life can be seen in the Wheel of Fortune card, marking the fact that all humans once they incarnate into the third dimension are caught in the sine wave and cycles of time, which ebb and flow in a cyclical nature.

So, now that we have passed the end date recognized by the collective, I find it funny that I hear so much misinterpretation of what the Mayans meant by placing an "end date" on their intricate and mysterious calendar.  We have passed the fulcrum point of December 21, 2012 in which leading into this most auspicious of dates, we encountered the date portal of 12/12/12 during the energy of a New Moon and a meteor shower.  Then on 12/21/12 we had the longest night of the year, in which Earth passed through the Galactic Center, as we now transition into the Age of Aquarius.  This was followed by a Cancer Full Moon on December 28, 2012.  And on Christmas night Jupiter and the Moon shown side by side in the night's sky!  

Even if you were not cognizant of all of these celestial events, your body which is in tune with the planet and its cycles was well aware of the subtle changes that these events have on you and your psyche. And yet, if you were plugged into the programming of mass media, you may have been caught up in the reflection of yet another mass trauma, that was most likely removed from your life and your daily struggle and situation.  So, in these times remember to be reflective, and discern the message that is at the heart of things, knowing that you are always okay, even in the midst of crisis.  Change is always a marker for new beginnings, and life is a constant cycle of death and rebirth.  This time of year it is easy to get caught up in the material nature of things, when in truth, the winter is the time to rest, reflect, and hibernate.  So, remember to also make time to turn within.

Dream, Love, Know... Wishing you all the best in the upcoming New Year! JYN Star

Current Astrological Energies~ Venus Transit 2012



The above picture was taken by Soho at 7:12 am EST on this magical 5th of June, as Venus for the second time in 8 years will transit the sun starting around 3:09 pm PDT, this astronomical occurrence will not happen again until December 2117. Space Weather will be offering a live feed of the transit, which we will not see again in this lifetime!  Jess Stern in A Time for Astrology sates, "Venus is closests planet to Earth, and the  brightest object in the sky next to the Sun and Moon.  When ahead of the sun it is the morning star; behind the sun it is visable in the western sky just after sunset as the Evening Star. Veiled in impenetrable cloud banks, its mysterious surface is truly symbolic of the ethernal feminine."

This is followed by yesterday's Lunar Eclipse, and third consecutive super moon (when the moon is full and closets to the Earth).  Lots is going on in the skies right now. For a review of current energies, please visit my Astrology & Astronomy Page where I just posted DL Zeta's and Lotus Light's astrological run-down of the current energies! There are some other goodies on that page, so be sure to check them out as well!

Full Moon Last Night

Capitalize on the energy of last night's full moon!  Burn a white candle, and meditate, seeing what lies within...

Some information on last nights moon is below:

Full Moon in Scorpio, April 28, 2010

Moon Above the Water

The Full Moon in Scorpio normally is a magical time of regeneration and rebirth.

That’s all the more true for the Scorpio Full Moon on April 28, thanks to a smooth, flowing connection between the Sun, Moon, and Pluto, Scorpio’s ruler. Moreover, the Sun is in tight conjunction with retrograde Mercury, and Pluto is retrograde, too. Retrograde periods are good for activities starting with “re.” So why not regeneration and rebirth?

As we go through the great cosmic shift of 2010-2012, much in our lives is dying in order to be reborn. We are healing and regenerating, according to ancient cycles of the stars, gods, and humans.

In the Buddhist tradition, the Full Moon in Scorpio is Wesak, celebrated as the day of the Buddha’s enlightenment. Now, technically, Wesak isn’t until May 27, because Buddhists use sidereal astrology, which is a sign “off” from our Western tropical system. Still, we can use the symbolism of Wesak to help us understand the significance of the Full Moon with Sun in Taurus and Moon in Scorpio.

Ruled by lovely Venus, Taurus is the “earthiest” of the earth signs, while Scorpio is the sign of death, regeneration and rebirth. Seeing how the unmanifest comes into existence in the physical world and then disappears back into the unmanifest is key to enlightened consciousness. It liberates us from errors in our thinking that lead to needless stress and suffering.

The Sun at 8°07′ Taurus tightly conjoins Mercury at 8°24′ Taurus, opposite the Moon at 8°07′ Scorpio. Mercury is just under halfway through his retrograde phase, which is often right about the time we really start feeling the effects.

Some of us may feel a bit lazy. If you’re going to succumb to being a couch potato, this is the time to do it! While it may seem like “unenlightened behavior,” I don’t see it that way. To the contrary, it’s often helpful to get your mind completely off a problem so that the deep psyche can work unimpeded. The trine from Mercury to retrograde Pluto will help gain deeper insight, if you just step out of the way and let the process happen. When you return your attention to the issue at hand, you may experience sudden new insight and inspiration. I especially recommend this for intellectual types who live a lot of the time in their heads.

On the downside, it may be hard for some people to open up to new ideas under this influence. If someone is giving you a hard time for being too entrenched in ideas or habits, listen! They may or may not be right, but the fact that they’re bringing it up is your cue for self-examination. Consider the message as a gift.

Also, Venus is at 4° Gemini, inconjunct Pluto and in mutual reception with Mercury. Venus in Gemini loves to talk, talk, talk, but that may get you in trouble when Mercury is retrograde. Words can be misconstrued. It might be better to let our actions speak for themselves, but that could lead to problems, too, with action planet Mars squaring the Sun and Moon. It will be hard for everyone to shrug off perceived slights.

Saturn and Uranus are approaching opposition, which may end up being the real news at this Full Moon. I wrote about this in my weekly forecast and will have more in tomorrow’s post.

Lastly, Ceres is stationed near Pluto, set to turn retrograde later in the day. According to classical mythology, Ceres dared to confront Jupiter and Pluto over the disappearance of her daughter and held them accountable for their actions. I think we’ll see this mostly in societal terms, as the powers that be are forced to take responsibility for bad public policy, especially concerning the economy and environment.

However, we may see some effects in our private lives, too. At the very least, we may need to reflect on how past decisions or behavior are affecting us in the present. It’s never too late to change!

For the Moon at 8°07′ Scorpio, the Sabian Symbol** is dental work, with the keyword PRACTICALITY. Most of us don’t pay nearly the attention to our spiritual health as we do to our physical bodies, and yet this is what’s needed in order to maintain a “healthy soul” that can connect with others in our soul community.

The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at 8°07′ Taurus is a Christmas tree decorated, with the keyword SYMBOLIZATION. An image of the winter holidays might seem out of place at this time of year, but its message is of spiritual renewal through sharing with friends and family. One of the most important things we can share with others is our unique gift to the world, and often we must go through a spiritual “death” and regeneration to find it.

It’s the classic tale of the hero’s journey, which takes us to hell and back.
