Plugged into the Grid

You don’t need me to tell you that we are living in “interesting times” but as another Taoist saying goes:” We may be floating on Tao, but there is nothing wrong with steering. If Tao is like a river, it is certainly good to know where the rocks are.”

The high Uranian vibe of the next 4 weeks is going to feel like celestial acupuncture, amped up by 2 Aquarian Full Moons-the first on July 23/24th at 1 Aquarius and the 2nd-a double Full Moon-on August 22 at 29 Aquarius the Master degree.

Friday’s Full Moon is a direct time-line jump back to December 21st 2020 when the epochal Jupiter /Saturn Conjunction at this sensitive degree catalysed the new Aquarian Era of 2021-2043.The futurist Moon is between relentless change agents Pluto and Saturn and conjunct Centaur Chariklo -adept at quietly aligning energies and holding the space for the highest outcome. In the next 2 days, the Moon will conjunct Jupiter now back in Aquarius until December 29th, then squares Awakener Uranus in Ta**us.

With Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter all retrograde, these double Full Moons are going to force you to keep your eyes on the big picture through lightning bolts of new information, new insights and constant reality checks.

Frame it as time to wake up from the deep sleep of your blind spots and repetitive karmic loops; as a chance to become fully present in Now. To move from Ego focus to Eco focus. After all, if your environment isn’t healthy, neither are you.

If you cling to or fall back into the old fictions you used to fool yourself with, the present with its potential is inaccessible. If you keep trying to second guess or project yourself into the future, you lose your power to act Now. Avoid the payback for denial, zoning out, not paying attention or sleepwalking.

Know that you are not failing, you are not dying - you are re-orienting. This is about co-creating new realities to be available to the collective.

The web within us orchestrates our entire being. In ancient traditions, these glands were referred to as and, in modern science, we see these as high-activity centers that create or respond to , which control our entire being. I see the body as literal and physical as much as I see it as symbolic and spiritual.

This particular web of organs demonstrates how we connect the physical to the psychological aspects of ourselves. It’s a portal to our science and spirit. It’s the operating system for all that I teach, write about and do in the world.

On July 13, Venus and Mars come together in a rare conjunction.

As the two cosmic lovers meet in the sky, we are called to rebirth our own relationships and to bring balance to the divine feminine and masculine or the yin and yang that lives within all of us.

Venus is the planet of love, aesthetics, and values. Its energy goes with the flow. Mars is the planet of action, motivation, and fearlessness. Its energy is direct and needs to move to make things happen.

Where can you find balance between these two dynamics in your own life?

The Gateway In and Gateway Out….....

In the waxing light of Saturday’s New Moon, this week the Sun in Cancer backlit by Spiritual Sun Sirius reveals its esoteric purpose as the Gateway into and also the Gateway out of this Incarnation. The Cancer mantra is:” I build a lighted house and therein dwell”.

Is the house you are building a lighted house or is it a dark prison? Are you dwelling in all your rooms or only one? Are you living at the beck and call of your soul or at Small -me personality level? The more brightly lit your House/Soul, the more clearly you are able to see through the worldly illusions of Maya.

On Sunday July 11th, the Guide of Souls Mercury crosses the sensitive World Axis opposite the Galactic Centre into Cancer, aligning with Jupiter in Pisces to allow an inspiring glimpse of the meta picture.

Make sure you capture your visions, dreams, insights and intuitions as they are amplified by Venus conjunct Mars in Leo on Tuesday and the Sun in Cancer trine limitless Neptune in Pisces on Thursday. Paint them, draw them, dance them, mind map them, sculpt them……..whatever embeds and imprints them in your heart, your psyche, your soma and your memory banks.

As the Sun opposes Pluto and squares Eris on Saturday 17th, commit to lighting up all the rooms in your psyche.

“Heightened perception poised, brilliant and as fast as can be. The genius of seeing things, knowing things and being there. You bring all this through with a fine-tuned ability to land in the situation at hand with only as much as can be worked with. You are guided to follow the perfect opportunities to tap what is inside in so many different ways. With a wildfire capacity to spread good news and bring realisations wherever they are needed, you work with ever more effortless capacity to bring this world alive.” Inside Degrees Elias Lonsdale

It’s so easy to take for granted that tomorrow will come, that another opportunity will be given to bear witness to a sunset, take a walk in the forest, listen in awe to the birds, or share a moment of connection with the one in front of us.

But another part knows how fragile it truly is here, how tenuous, and how this opening will not be here forever.

It’s so easy to fall under the trance of postponement and the spell of tomorrow.

At the end of this life, it is unlikely we'll be too concerned with whether we accomplished all the tasks on our to-do lists, played it safe, or resolved our unending self-improvement project.

Inside these hearts there may be only one burning question: how well did I love?

One day we will no longer be able to look at, touch, or share a simple moment with those we love. When we turn to them, they will be gone.

One moment will be our last to experience awe at a color or a fragrance or the blooming of a violet, or to enter into union with the vastness of the sea.

It will be our last chance to see a universe in a drop of rain, to have a moment of communion with a friend, or to weep as the light yields to the night sky.

One last moment to have a thought, feel an emotion, fall in love, or listen to a piece of music. To know heartbreak, joy, sorrow, and peace—to behold the outrageous mystery of what it truly means to be a sensitive human being.

What if today is that last day? Or tomorrow? Or later this week?

Knowing that death will come, how will we respond to the sacred and brief appearance of life?

Perhaps our “life’s purpose” has nothing to do with what we’ve fantasied it to be about, but simply to fully live, to touch each moment with our presence and our one, wild heart.

And do whatever we can to help others, to hold them when they are hurting, to speak kind words, to listen carefully to the ways they are attempting to make sense of a world that has gone a bit mad.

To slow down and bear witness to the erupting miracle of the other as it appears in front of us.

Perhaps this is the most radical gift we can give, to offer ourselves as a true healing space in which love can find its way and come alive here.

The basic law in life is that we attract what we vibrate. When we are feeling mentally and emotionally down on our self we create circumstances that re-enforce that feeling.
When you want to change your circumstances, change your energy and CONSCIOUSLY CHOOSE thoughts and actions that bring you joy.  See yourself as a magnet attracting more joy and love to you.

A very important aspect of creating the change you wish to see, is that actually in order for things to change, you need to see things as you want them to be, not as they are. If we keep focusing on how things are, we create more of the same and the cycle continues.

My strongest advice is that you use your practice of Yoga to change your energy first thing in the morning. CHOOSE for yourself the energy you want to vibrate for the rest of the day. Don’t let circumstances and habit choose it for you. Do your practice, raise your energy and then sit for about 15 minutes focusing on that which you want to create in your life. Believe in your power to change. See yourself making decisions in alignment with your inner self, see your life filled with people and circumstances that bring you joy.

Remember your life is 100% of your doing. Commit to not blaming others or the circumstances of your life for any of your problems and TAKE CHARGE. It all begins with your mind and energy. 🕊✨

When you start loving yourself and respecting your time and energy, things will change. Get to know your worth, and your value will go up.

Have a heart soft enough to give love and mercy...
but that is wise enough to know boundaries.

“When I run after what I think I want,
my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience,
what I need flows to me, and without pain.
From this I understand that
what I want also wants me,
is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here
for anyone who can grasp it.”
Rumi

Anna Pavlova and Jack the Swan, 1912.
