May 2013 - Empowering Numerology - The Number 4

This month we will look at the number four, which is the first fully physical number. Through four, we become grounded on this earth. It signifies physical Creation, the power of the four directions and the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. These sustain all life and remind us of how our planet came to be.

Earth began as a renegade fiery rock charging through this solar system.  Eventually it reached a place in space where the inertia of its movement and the magnetics of the Sun, as well as other planets in our solar system, caused it to settle into an orbit; the comfortable spot it has held for millennium in the eco-system of this solar system. While the rock cooled, it developed a balanced spin and a steady orbit, and waters that may have been trapped inside or frozen in deep pockets rose to the surface. They formed oceans, ice caps, rivers, lakes and springs. Water filled a large portion of the surface of the now developing planet, while changes of hot and cold, due to the spin and the stretch of the orbit created seasonal and regional climates; thus the planet developed an atmosphere. This created the perfect environment for many life forms.

Contained in the number four is the history of earth. In single strokes, four creates a square, the foundation of a building, a protective perimeter, a controlled space; the symbol for the basis of grounded growth.

The four corners of the space symbolize the four cornerstones of creation and in each individual’s life they are represented in several ways:

• The personal line of creation: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual parts of who we are.
• The integrating line of creation: the self, the pairing or mating relationship, the progeny and the genetic/dynastic ancestry.
• The tribal line of creation: the individual personality, the family circle, the tribal service/career and the tribal outreach - warrior or diplomat

Additionally in complex nations like ours, where ethnicities and religions are mixed the tribal line breaks into two other parts;

• The national/patriotic line of creation - identical to the tribal except it, aligns with the government, not ethnic culture.
• The religious line of creation - identical to the tribal except this aligns with religious beliefs which may be global as in Christian or Hindu, etc; or more specific as in Lutheran verses Catholic. 

This information helps us explore where we focus and how we ground. Taking time to consider each area will reveal where we are out of balance. By understanding the areas in our lines of creation, we begin to understand the number four. Bringing issues into balance, we take control of our lives, and thus create personal peace.

When we are in harmony with four. we are in total control of our lives. When out of sync with four, we discover an area where we’re telling others what to do and how to do it. We’re taking away someone else’s power of choice, taking on a karmic burden and losing control of our lives.

Being the foundation of creation for the human form, and its stability; four asks that we anchor the four elements within ourselves: fire (passion and creativity), with water (emotions, dreams, and sensitivity), with air (thoughts, words and judgments), and earth (actions, and physical health).

When each area is in balance, we have peace and happiness in our lives.

Here is a simple chant to help bring the number four into balance: “El Ka Leem Om.”  Repeat in rounds of four. These are the Sanskrit words for Earth, Fire, Water and Air. By chanting them we call in the Divine Intelligence of each element to bring peace and balance.

May 2013 & It’s Frequencies

May is M (4) + a (1) + y (7) = 12, which reduces to 3

2013 is 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total 3 + 6 = 9

May carries the frequency of the number three, the number of nurturing. Three is feminine water. It signals the union or separation of two, which results in a third part. Being an act of creation from the two, this third part must be nurtured to grow. May’s energy of Taurian earth, takes the three from watery emotion to practical action. So in May, three is about nurturing the physical body in practical ways. When we satiate the body, we nurture our emotions and mental activity flattens into a peaceful zone.

Nurturing the body can be done with food, and physical pleasures of all kinds: massage, swimming, dance, etc. May emphasizes dancing with nature. We may do a Hawaiian hula, playfully celebrate with the May pole, or waltz in the woods. Whatever dance we choose will align us with the four elements and they will ground and balance us with love, compassion, mental clarity and inspired passion. 

The full numerology of May 2013 asks us to make a conscious choice (6) to nurture ourselves and the earth (3), and to fulfill our choices completely (9).

Nine is the perfect number; it encompasses three, threes. While nurturing yourself, you will discover your dreams, and when you nurture your dreams, you will complete both yourself and your dreams. This is the perfect act of completion, which is part of the number nine.

Considering the frequencies of May 2013, whose numbers are 3, 6, 9, this month asks us to choose to complete our self-nurturing dreams. It asks us to ask ourselves, “What would I love to do, that I have said, ‘Someday’…” May 2013 contains the energy to ground our…“Someday dreams”… now.

Fear, anxiety, panic, Reactions from ancient belief systems

www.blogtalkradio.com/iamthelight/2013/04/11/fear

Last Dec 21, 2012, a new frequency flowed into our solar system. It filters through our energy fields and many people are uncomfortable with it, while others find it pushing them to change their lives.

To flow with this new frequency we need to release old belief systems, which are buried deep our subconscious. They are patterns developed through religions and tribal/ethnic cultures. 

These beliefs gave us community, but did not share truth. They taught us to fear, anger, hate, fight and flee without logic, divinity or love. 

Last night on my new podcast, which we do each Wednesday night at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on blogtalkradio.com/Iamthelight I addressed some of the issues of fear, offering deeper understanding, insights and techniques to help free you. 

Here is the podcast for you to enjoy

Mercury Retrograde, Full Moon, Saturn, Pluto = Busting Belief Systems

Saturday, February 23rd, Mercury stationed Retrograde at 19:52 Pisces, while on Monday, February 25th we entered a 7:24 Virgo Full Moon cycle. 

As you may have heard me mention before, this cycle will be filled with news, so much will happen that you will have to take extra time to learn about it and may not hear all of it for months. 

But let's look at what it means to the individual. 

Though anyone over 20 has experienced a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces before, this one is potent and unique because of where our solar system is in the galactic center, the frequencies that have been released back on December 21, and the fact that Saturn and Pluto are working with Mercury to transform old belief systems that have imprisoned the collective consciousness for the last 26,000 years. 

Additionally during this two week moon cycle we will experience the struggle of self-criticism, external criticism and all the issues of perfection and imperfection that hold us from being whole and happy. This is a period where every form of self-sabotage will rear it's head. 

Rising from the depths of ancient lifetimes through one's psyche, there may be irrational feelings of anger. To put your finger on why you are angry may be a little bit difficult because it has to do with patterns embedded in your consciousness through belief systems that were designed to control us and sabotage our understanding of our own power. 

So let those feelings rise and release them. 

If you know EFT, use it, if you are familiar with Tom Kenyon's work read his latest Hathors report and use the meditation and sound frequencies that they offer through him. 

At this time, all humanity is on a journey of significant change and this period is one direct wave. 

Lightbearers need to stay grounded because as all the controlling belief systems are uprooted, many will not be able to handle a completely new way of viewing who we are. A view that is based on truth rather than man's reaction to the physicality and his need to control it.

Empower Yourself with Numerology

Have you ever wondered if numbers have power? Do they have meaning? Can numerology empower you in life? 

Numbers are used everywhere. You can’t go through a single day without engaging with numbers. “How much does this cost?” “What was the phone number?” “Did you get that address right?” “What is your zip code?” “Please put in your pin number.” “Can I get your zip code?” “That show is on channel 231.”

Basic numerology addresses the birth date and the name that appears on a birth certificate. But is that all there is?
Every bit of Creation is connected, not coincidentally,  but logically and numbers are a key to all of it.  All numbers have a frequency, much like the notes on a musical scale. When we speak or think, we activate frequencies and each has a numeric basis or counterpart.

So what does it mean and how can this knowledge help us in our journey for joy, health, love and prosperity?

Let’s start with the most basic number: One, 1, or I. It is a single note, clear frequency, a directive of energy. It reflects what the Ancients called, The Pole*, and for which the Pole Star was named. This ancient energy calls in Primordial Creation, God/Spirit, Direction, Support and the Act of Manifestation.

It is not a unifying number but an individuating one. It is interesting when we realize that One begins all creation and it is about, I, the letter whose numerical counterpart is the number, Nine, which is the completion of all things.

So in this first number, we become aware of a basic principle of creation, it all begins with One and it is the One who will complete the act. 


This number informs us that we are the creators of our universe, we begin it and we complete it, but we must also realize that it is a great expansive circle that once we complete, we begin again on a higher frequency. Understanding this allows you to realize that nothing is flat in creation, but all things spiral and are seen as flat when we look up or down, from the center, which is where each of us stand in our worlds of creation.

Let us come back to the mundane and look at how we can use the number one in daily life.  When we focus our lives through the filter of One, we consciously engage the universe to manifest what we want.

So how do we use this ‘One’ filter? First step is to be aware, that is what we opened in the previous paragraphs. Secondly, we must focus this energy through words, song, meditation, prayer, writing and thought.

Sankrit writing of the word, OM

The key word of power, which represents the Sacred Element of Air, calling in the wisdom of the Ancients, is ‘OM.’ O=6, M=4, together they create 10, which reduced to one digit becomes the number, 1.**  See note below on how to reduce numbers in numerology.

When we focus on the word, OM, sing it, write it, and add to it the images or words of what we desire, we send a clear, focused message to Spirit.

This frequency can be taken to an even higher octave, by going to a word that is the Master Number*** of one, a word that equals 11, ‘HU.’ (Pronounced like ‘hue.’)

Modern Numerology's Alpha Numeric Chart

This chart allows you to quickly access the number related to any letter. Thus you can identify what numbers are active through a name, or address.



When looking at the chart, the letters listed below each number will activate that frequency and you can add them together to find the power of a word. For example, the name, Art. Look at the column with number one at the top. There you will find A, thus A=1, R is located in the 9 column, so R=9, and T is located in the 2 column, so T=2. Thus for Art we would add, 1+9+2=12, which when reduced = 3.

I welcome any questions about the meaning of a name, and will be addressing names in this new monthly column later in the year.

FEBRUARY 2013

Hidden Frequencies From Our Collective Consciousness

This period in the Gregorian Calendar, which has been adopted by the Western Collective Consciousness is called February 2013, or Feb. 2013, it carries a numerological frequency unlike any other time in our lives.

Here is how the numerology adds up.  February, 6+5+2+9+3+1+9+7=42, which reduces to 6. This number is also the key number for the entire year of 2013, six, which makes 2013 a year of choices, networking, and gives a more optimistic attitude.

When we add February’s 6 to 2013’s, 6, we have 12, which equals 3, the number of nurturing, family, re-uniting, working together through challenges. So the current frequency is aligned with working through challenges, new children, those who divide and naturally, how we will make choices during this time is key.

This is not the only frequency for the month, additionally, we call February, Feb, which adds up to: 13 and thus the number, 4. These frequencies tell us it is time to transform and take control instead of controlling others, or giving away control.  The four regains all the corners of the universe, it activates all centers and swiftly frees or directs.

Using all of February’s frequencies to achieve the best possible outcome, this is what is indicated: 

·       Be aware of the choices you make this month (2013 will ask this each month.)
·       Make choices to nurture others as family. Allow the love of the Earth to flow through your heart center as you approach life this month.
·       This energy will help you reclaim your power and stop controlling others. Share what you know, but remember that it is not wise to force your knowledge on anyone. It is a period to remember to honor and respect the choices others make for their lives, even if you think you know better. This is the answer to empowerment under the number four. Examine the choices you are making in each cornerstone of your life, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Focus your choices on nurturing and self-empowerment, and you will fulfill numerology’s frequency for February 2013.

*The ancients believed there was a pole that held up the heavens, and that information was sent back and forth to heaven through this mighty pole.

**In numerology, all numbers are added together and then reduced to a single digit, unless after adding them together the result is a number with double digits, such as: 11, 22, 33, 44, etc. These remain intact and are called Master Numbers.

***Master numbers are all numbers that consist of replicating digits, such as 11, 22, 111, 222, 444,444, etc. Master numbers activate the originating frequency to a higher octave and thus empower the individual exponentially.

Cross Species Friendships - An Elephant & A Dog

Here is yet another example of how the Divine Innocents (what people call, animals) are teaching us to love each other. Best friends between unusual species causes humans to take notice, and re-consider what is possible. 

This amazing film shares a story of loving friendship between an elephant named Tarra, and a dog named, Bella. It should open any heart; and cause the mind to question why we can't find common ground with other human beings.

Perhaps it is that we have lost sight of what is important and have created too many distractions through mental gymnastics, which we use to answer questions like, "Why am I here?"

We invented religions that instead of unifying us, divide us.

We have created moral grounds through ideas, and forgotten common sense.

We have set in motion a vehicle of exchange, in money or precious metals, which gives power to the few, while the most valuable vehicle of exchange, which is love, is overlooked completely.

No other species has done this. They overlook all shortcomings, except in issues of hunger.

But even hunger may not be grounds for fighting. Here is a video of a cat sharing milk with a rat.

And another amazing study* shows one rat faced with a choice of either freeing another rat or opening a capsule with food and eating it. This rat takes no time deciding. He frees his fellow rat first, then opens the food capsule. But then he again surprises us by eating exactly half of the food, and allowing his friend to eat the rest. 

Every experience that these Divine Innocents share, whether by what appears to be co-incidence or through a scientific study, expands human consciousness. 

Each surprising act of animal kindness we experience is a great gift, it expands our consciousness and also shows us we are changing. Today, there are more people then ever before who realize that Love is the only 'Valuable." 

Our desire to serve is in our Divine Nature and many are realizing this. Many are driven by their Divine passion and thus creating change across our collective consciousness. As more people shift their viewpoint to choose to do everything as an act of love, more people will begin to shake free of the mental games, which demand dollars instead of the expression of love, and we will move into a new world.

Enjoy this film and allow your heart to open to the possibilities that previously you thought impossible.

What do you love? Are you doing what you love? If not, ask yourself why. If your only answer is money, re-examine your choices. If you make money so your children will go to college, then what you are doing is an act of love. But alas, if you are not happy with it, you need to re-examine what changes you can make to insure you enjoy the work you do.

Recently a friend told me that she wanted to make a change in the way she makes money. I felt guided to suggest a job as a receptionist and she immediately said, “But I cannot type.” I said, “But you can learn.” This is an example of the blocks we place in our minds that create a personal prison. Best to take a moment to examine what keeps you from your joy and begin to dissolve those blocks.

When we are joyful, we do not see the differences of politics, creed, ethnicity or lifestyle, because joy is love. Consider these things as you watch this exceptional film.


PS:
This film was shot on November 8, 2010 by CBS Evening News. A little less than a year later on November 4, 2011, CBS reported that dear sweet Bella had died. It is thought she was killed by coyotes. But Tarra carried Bella's body over a mile back to the sanctuary center. Bella's body was free of blood but Tarra's trunk had blood on it. Tarra has been grieving over the loss of her friend and the other elephants have brought her food to make her feel better. The Elephant Sanctuary has set up a Bella Memorial Fund to help strays like Bella and to support the elephants as well as some of the fund supports other humane societies. Here is the link: http://www.elephants.com/Bella/Bella.php  or you can donate by buying a little something to remind you of Bella & Tarra in their gift shop at this link: http://www.elephants.com/tarra/TarraBella_Shop.php

Sandy Hook Massacre ~ 28 Souls Force Focus On Violence As We Enter The Season Of The Underworld

As we came to the end of the Sacred Time of Water ~ Season of the West, a time of cleansing, we experienced a deep wound that is filled with blood, tears and the well of emotions that will take generations to heal and will force change at many levels. This of course is the murder of innocents that occurred on December 14th, at approximately 9:30 am at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.

With this tragedy filling our minds and hearts, we have moved into the Sacred Time of The Ancient Ones ~ Season of the North, Air ~ Dialogue, Inspiration & Ingenious Possibilities. We have passed the day that some claimed would end in doom, Yuletide 2012 and as we predicted it would be a doorway to a greater consciousness.

Now wrapped in the pain of tragedy, we begin our three month journey to the Underworld to examine the roots of our belief systems and allow the wisdom of the Ancient Ones to inspire change.

The death of innocents forces us to address our national obsession with guns. We must shift from our Old West - shoot 'em up - consciousness to a broader understanding of how the combination of personal soul awareness and community awareness can protect us. Dialogue is the first step to this expansion. 

For thousands of years man has lived in fear and developed mechanical instruments to protect him from those he feared. Living in fear is fertile ground for bias, bigotry and hatred. It is through fear that war activates.

Now as Americans grapple with how to avoid more massacres, we must also come to understand fear, because this is the underlying basis that drives the negative use of a weapon.

As soul, we come to this human experiment to learn compassion. Over thousands of years, we have developed a pattern or matrix for change. Unfortunately that matrix is an abominable destructive act. This is what happened in the slaughter of innocents in Connecticut on Dec 14th.

These souls, innocent, beautiful and precious, have forced us to focus on change so that we may move forward in consciousness. The loss is deep and will leave a scar for generations. For many close to those slain, it is too deep to ever fill. But in the midst of this tragedy, there will be an uprising that leads us in the right direction. It will illuminate the basis of fear, the issues of how the emotional senses can be numbed, the issues of mental instability and how we must make changes in identifying and healing these health issues. There are many streams of change that will flow out of this tragedy and bring change.

Some of these changes will come from the children who survived this terrible day of destruction. Take time in your own heart to witness what has happened and allow your higher self to flow through you to see the threads of change that will flow because of the lives martyred. 

Though the time to heal and make change will be long, it is important for us to understand that this terrible event is a doorway. An auspicious doorway that opened in the 9 am hour of the moon on the day of Venus, as we were closing the season of cleansing, and seven days later we crossed the Mayan yuletide of 2012, and entered into the season of the underworld.

What do these numbers mean? What does this timing indicate?

The number nine is a time of endings, it is a bridge between heaven and earth. The day of Venus is a day of love, and social connecting or networking. The hour of Cancer is an hour of family, emotions and also mundanely it represents the people of a nation. The number seven indicates fast change, motivated directed change. 

Putting it all, you see the numerology picture of this terrible event. An ending took place bridging heaven with earth, with a nation pouring love and emotions, which would motivate individuals to take action to make change.  

Though we may first focus on how to stop the violence, I pray that we as humans will also focus on a way to end the matrix of destruction we have used as our weapon of change. Let us acknowledge those who see our shortcomings as nations and people, and instead of pushing them away, because it is too much trouble to look, let us allow courage to fill us and go forth to make change in a timely fashion.

During this past season of cleansing, we spoke as a nation to say no to money controlling our election process, let us take the next step and look around to see what must be done to create a better world. Where to begin? Let your heart tell you. It knows exactly what is right for you.

Season of The North, Sacred Element Air - Voice & Sound of Om

This is the logo I designed for the Four

Sacred Intelligences, I call The Divine 

Elements. 

The Green represents El,

Sacred Earth; Red is for Ka, Sacred 

Fire, Light Blue is for Leem, Sacred Water, 

and the dark Blue is for Om, Sacred Air. 

This Season is the time of the North, it is a time when we are meant to rediscover the deeper part of ourselves, that peaceful place within us that resonates to eternal cycles. The Sacred Element of Air, OM, rules this Season. It is a time where in parts of the world one's breath is visible, reminding us of the Spirit that we are, the Divine Being eternal and ever changing.

Like the wind, we can be quiet, bustling, and stormy. We can be icy cold or overbearingly hot, but it is the temperate air that breaths joy.

In the deep snows where the Sacred Water Element, Leem, pours it frozen flakes to the ground, the wind redistributes them in flowing patterns across Sacred Gaia, El's earthy body. So too must we freeze our emotions and desires for a moment and redistribute them. Examine the patterns of your emotions, are they grounded? If you will warm them with the inspiration of Creative Father, the Sacred Element of Fire, Ka, you will see them melt away and thus reform in a new more tempered measure.

Take time away from the hurry of the material aspects of this Season to call up your deep Sacred Wind. Let it fill your body with its power and clear out all that is not Love, breath out the desires that are not connected to your true Divine Self, and open that deep channel of peace. Let Peace empower you with Eternal Love. You are Divine, Powerful, Limitless, Eternal. Knowing this, what will you choose to create in this gift, we call the Present? 

We are composed of these four Sacred Elements, El, Ka, Leem, Om. They support us and without them we cannot exist. But man in his lack of awareness pays little attention to the Divine Intelligences that activate Creation in this plane of consciousness. Only when a Sacred Element activates in a hurricane, earthquake, wild fire or tsunami, do we pay attention, and realize that we are powerless in the wake of their storm.

When we take time each day to come into harmony with the Divine Intelligences of the Sacred Elements, we will feel and know the changes before they happen. We will flow with the current and come to understand the wisdom of elemental storms.

Please take time each day to honor and listen. You are so much more than your culture, society, ethnicity, or class. You are a conscious piece of the puzzle of creation with the power to direct and manifest. Your thoughts and actions activate a ripple across all time and space and continue eternally moving touching reverberating. If you will understand this, you will begin to administer love and peace as the solution for every challenge. In the field of conflict it will always be your right to choose how you react or respond. The practice of peace will help you respond with strength and wisdom. It clears the mind so your Higher Self will speak, direct and protect you.

Wishing you the courage to put aside the world for several minutes each day, so you can allow the peace and wisdom of your Divine Self to flow throughout your body, mind and emotions. 

2013 Astrology Predictions ~ Michele Avanti CAP

Astrological Forecast* Through The Ingress Charts** 

December 21, 2012 - December 20, 2013

Capricorn Ingress: December 21, 2012 ~ March 20, 2013

This chart immediately speaks to a sudden, wild, fast, furious and explosive fire, which causes sudden changes in property. There is also a challenge of water, which may be a need for it, or it may be that there is water in the way, making it harder to control the situation. But it also appears help will be flown in quickly.

It also indicates that the people are emotionally angry, explosive, wanting immediate help, but they are stressed by a lack of money, a need to save money, and a need for the government to cut spending. This stress causes the people to re-examine their values and what is important. 

Legislation and cabinet members talk and offer more resources to help release some of the aggressive emotions.

An interesting formation in this chart is what astrologers call a Yod, or in other words, ‘The finger of God.’ This indicates the employment rate, though stressed is slowly transforming. The people are working for less money, the government is transforming and the dreams of the American people are forced to focus on saving money, not spending it. It points to the underlying stress of outsourcing jobs and the lack of regulation to protect American jobs.  It also raises the issue of stolen intellectual property, inventions, or copyright infringements. Thus it indicates a stressful push from our government to remedy this through international bodies, probably the UN. There will be plenty of discussion regarding our international trade policies, and unfortunately much of it will be pointing fingers at enemies.

As far as the people and the President, it seems a calm, almost drugged love affair.

The nation seems to be more focused in this period on foreign enemies or religious enemies, bringing troops home, as well as employment and health care.

There also seems to be an investment issue here, which likely indicates the stock market. It seems to expand and then just flatten or drop. It is a statement of self-destruct, or self-sabotage, so I would recommend you be extremely cautious about investments during this period. If you are good risk taker, I expect there will be excellent money to be made here, but if you are on constant watch, you may miss the warning and lose big time. Areas to watch would be foreign investments in governments, intellectual properties, underground resources, health resources, health software, foreign vehicles, and foreign aircraft. 

Investment areas that should do well during this period include clothing and practical, old fashioned, high quality crafts for socializing or networking.

A Special Note on The New Presidency  ~  January 20, 2013  ~  Inauguration Day 

 This chart speaks to the next four years of the presidency, despite the fact that at this writing, it is unknown who will be President.

With Mercury combust the Sun at the midheaven, the President will be determined to get what he wants. He is leading the nation, investments in America are up, he is stressed by lies, the past, and foreign undercover agents or agencies. But he is thinking in a unique way and advancing freedom internationally while helping free us from foreign issues that have held us hostage or caused us to sabotage our own interests.

The people are learning that they have been their own enemy. They are learning to master and create a better more united future, as a result of their destructive, wild, aggressive, indulgent past. They are challenged to take action in new ways, to cooperate instead of fight. As January 2013 ends, the overspending especially involving businesses, as a result of free reign, exemption, or other bonuses in taxes, mortgages, or credit cards, will be challenged. It has stressed all our shared resources and must now transform.

The government will transform over this four-year period. It will be reborn. Business internationally, as well as within America, our national image, our spiritual outlook, our handling of higher education, the internet, and travel will all change over these four years.  Much of this will happen through legislation or executive order.

As we come to Christmas Eve 2014, our nation will finally begin to understand the structure and vision of the president, and that what he has directed is truly happening. We begin to take a deep breath and know we are going to be all right. Though the work will continue, the realization becomes clear that we are on the right path to recovery.   

Aries Ingress: March 20 ~ June 21, 2013

 This chart predicts an explosive event, like an erupting volcano or an earthquake, which happens suddenly and may bring with it both fire and flood.  At the same time this challenge may activate a positive outcome because at another level, this appears linked to the struggling housing market and empowers the government, businesses and mortgage companies to work together to resolve the issues.

There is an outpouring of compassion, money, and love by the people for the people. But money is either dropping in value or in short supply, or both.

This chart is encouraging because it seems we are pulling together to lift ourselves out of the trough of depression. Though there are still angry people, and there are employment challenges, especially for military veterans, we are focused on tackling these things.

Legislation involving taxes on corporations and the wealthy is being reviewed. It causes stress and I do not believe we get the change at this time unless it is some kind of compromise that favors housing or building home businesses in some way.

There could be a Supreme Court Judge who retires or dies during this period and there seems to be a discussion on who will be chosen to replace them. The question of reproduction rights is on the table, and if it is decided during this period, American women will get what they want.

Also during this time, there may be the change of a cabinet member or leader of the House.

There is stress regarding contracts or legislation about: the Internet, public media, higher education, taxes, mortgages, and international commerce. These issues are being reviewed and discussed, as powerful lobbyists work diligently to sway the legislators.

Healing the nation, protecting the people and getting people into homes again is the driving force of this quarter.

Cancer Ingress: June 21 ~ September 22, 2013

This is the most encouraging chart I have seen in years for the housing market and investments, though we still have Sedna destructive in our house of money and values. But Venus points to good investments, more money, more employment. Increased values in the housing market. 

During this period, passionately investing, may cause trouble. This is to be watched, for as Venus is investing in children, families and homeland; the stock market may climb and then suddenly drop. 

Here are dates to watch. These dates are active within twenty-four hours before or after: June 21; August 4, 17, 23, 31; September 5,

Members of the Cabinet and legislators stress the President as he works to reform taxes, mortgages, tariffs, and the banking system regarding issues of housing, imports, exports, investments, and military. This time period also indicates a challenge regarding internet taxation, international import of housing materials or outsourcing of housing materials, outsourcing or piracy of technology and international properties and even some issues of media.

A coalition of international governments, probably the United Nations, offers the President a legal venue to free us from the lies and abuse of international piracy. This may also break some of the issues that have imprisoned us regarding oil, medicine, and creative works.

The people appear to be happier in this period, with a focus on family, children and homeland. We are learning to master our investments and to focus on the value of family and home.

Because Uranus and Pluto will square during this quarter, this chart has the potential for physical explosion such as a volcanic eruption. Unlike the Libra Ingress of 2012, which showed the potential for a terrible storm to hit the East Coast, this chart indicates a Western experience. Of course the potential for explosive volcanic eruptions is not limited to Hawaii, but it exists for many other places on the globe.

Based on this observation, I moved the chart to Honolulu, Hawaii and there it indicates a strong possibility of eruption, and/or severe flooding due to an eruption.

There are many dates that look challenging during this summer for Hawaii, but these are the key ones with twenty-four hour windows on either side, to watch: June 22; July 16, 20; August 12; September 12, 21

Libra Ingress: September 22 ~ December 21, 2013

This ingress pictures the nation like a newly transformed butterfly trying to fly. 

The people struggle with karmic issues from indulgent and emotionally made contracts, to legislation, and international treaties, which allowed corporations to flourish overseas. Though there is some transformation happening, the power of international corporations seems to prevail, challenging the values and passion of the nation. Independent and liberty minded citizens, as well as American inventors push for reform and legislative relief.

Though there are increases in employment through the areas of health care, foreign service, teaching, home school or tutoring, international surgical and medical sales, and real estate sales to international investors; we are challenged by funding needs, outsourcing, and defense contracts.

During this period, the President is focused on loyalty to the American people, while the Congress is publicly challenged by active military, veterans, their contracts, their families, and their health and work transition.

When I run this ingress for Los Angeles, it indicates a sudden underground explosion that may burst into flames. It may be an earthquake off the shore that starts the action or just one deep underground. It may also be the result of some kind of corporate drilling. It also indicates some kind of communication, internet, satellite, highway, investment challenges. Could be an overwhelming of the system causing a brown out. These dates plus the twenty-four hour periods before and after, will be times to watch: September 22; October 17, 28, November 7; December 17.

*Astrological Forecast - astrology offers pictures and possible events through the various lenses of house, planet, sign and aspect. But it is the consciousness of humanity that steers which pictures will align into the current reality. We always have freedom of choice. It is our thoughts, fears, dreams, and directives that create the present and we are always in alignment with the energy currents from these great sentient planetary & luminary beings. We take their waves of emotional, mental, and etheric signals and contour them to our world; minimizing or exacerbating the challenges or gifts. So no astrologer is perfectly accurate, but the pictures presented will be seen if you look. 

**Ingress Charts - are charts set for the moment that the Sun enters a Cardinal Sign (Capricorn, Aries, Cancer & Libra) and for the location that is the capital of a nation, state or province, as well as for cities. This gives information for a quarter of the year for that nation, state, province or location.

Obama vs Romney Election is on every American mind, and as an astrologer, the fact that Mercury stations retrograde on the day of the election signals challenges that may keep us weeks from knowing the outcome.

I have reviewed all the election charts that have Mercury Retrograde influence, unfortunately in US history there are only nine (this will be the tenth), and that is way too small to form any serious conclusion. So this one will be excellent to watch and add to the count.

Of all nine, none had Mercury stationing on the day of election.

One did come close with it stationing direct the day after and that was Bush's election in 2000.

The election, as everyone likely remembers, was filled with challenges and took till December 12 before it settled. Mercury did station at the critical degree of 29 Libra, so this too may have impacted how it went

In this 2012 election, Mercury will station at 7:04 pm, and then becomes fully Retrograde twenty four hours later.

4 Sagittarius, indicates this will be an issue around the world, probably even more so than the Bush election. It may also call in legal process, media, advertising, marketing and internet issues.

A quick look at the Sabian Symbol for this degree. Remember added minutes takes this from 4 to the number 5 according to Dane Rudhyar.

High On An Old Tree, A Solitary Owl is Gravely Perched

Poised observation upon the drama of life. Mellow judgment. In­grained confidence in the situation and worth of the self.

Fascinating, truly indicative of what we will likely experience awaiting an outcome. Certainly a sobering symbol.

A look at the Sabian Symbol for when Mercury stations direct Nov 26 at 18 Scorpio 10:

A Wise Old Parrot Repeats The Conversation He Overheard

Dependence upon inner or outer environment for the substance of understanding. Transmission of knowledge. Channel-ship.

This will likely point to where we will be as the outcome begins to clear. It seems to point to what the majority felt or knew on the day of the election. I guess we will have to wait and see how it all turns out.

At any rate, I expect this election to show a resemblance to the 2000 race. In the fiery sign of Sagittarius, there will righteousness, religious issues, internet issues, probably hacking issues, and it will most likely be nasty.

But with the Sabian Symbol as a reference, we are fighting the right fight to examine, and evolve what we truly value in this country. (Will it be truth, justice & the American way?)

If I lived in a swing state, I would vote early before Mercury Stations. Thank goodness I live in Oregon where sanity reigns, and our ballots arrive at home giving us lots of time to discuss, decide, and vote, without having to travel anywhere except to our mailboxes.

First Presidential Debate: Obama - Romney - Astrology

In just a few hours, the first presidential debate begins between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

I have written on Facebook several pieces about these men, including their fixed stars. Romney's gaffes are easily explained by them, so I will include those notes below.

Right now, let's look at Obama & Romney's charts for the transits occurring during this debate.

I will start with Mitt because I believe most people are focusing on what will he do.

Here is Mitt Romney's chart with transits set for Denver at 7pm Mountain Time.

Mitt Romney 

In the 6th House: Transiting Mars conjunct natal Jupiter/Moon. This indicates he will have an aggressive approach to this debate, but may find himself mentally emotional, and may start to expose some of his real dreams, which could have him saying more than he should.and end up sabotaging himself.

Additionally, Jupiter is the ruler of his 8th house , which is the home that Mars naturally rules, while Mars in his chart rules the 12th house and is the hidden ruler of the 6th. This indicates that what causes self-sabotage for Romney is the people, who have supported him through their resources (money.)

In the 12th House: The Moon conjunct his Progressed Sun throughout the debate, so he will be optimistic, but his need for loyalty and protection of his wealth could cause him to be overconfident and say something that will sabotage him.

In the 12th House on the Ascendant: The South Node is applying a conjunction to his Progressed Mercury. This is a very strong aspect, and it indicates his past may sabotage him.

Additionally during this debate, transiting Mercury is quincunx progressed Mercury, which causes mental stress and may cause him to restate something or change a statement or policy, and then be called on it. This is a truly stressful contact and may cause some restatements or need to defend his past statements.

In the 11th House: Uranus is semi-sextile Mars, this is another very stressful combination, and is very close to exact. Mars is the ruler of his 12th house, deposited in his 11th, so there may be sudden public reactions that could be sabotaging.

Please note, much of what is active in Romney's chart is connect to the 12th house, the house of past karma, forms of imprisonment and self-sabotage. This is why I have said so much about it.

Barack Obama

Where Romney has the transiting south node in his 12th house and on his ascendant indicating his past will be associated with him.

The President has the North Node on his MC (midheaven) indicating that he will be publicly seen as the future, that his career has purpose and direction. But this is not without challenge because the transiting nodes are squaring his natal nodes. So he is feeling the challenge and the pressure of achieving his life's purpose.
This is a very strong internal statement about who he is inside.

8th House: Transiting Mercury is slightly separating from a conjunction to his progressed Mercury and his progressed Mars, indicating his words will be strong but not so aggressive as to harm him.

Transiting Mercury is also just separating from a square progressed Jupiter, so this will be very interesting to watch. If it were applying to progressed Jupiter, he would likely say too much and sabotage himself, but the separation may keep him from doing that.

If you are new to astrology, when a planet or luminary is in its applying aspect, it is powerfully activating. But once it separates the power diminishes, often instantly. So this will be interesting to watch.

Additionally transiting Mercury is applying a trine to natal Jupiter, so though we think of trines as opportunities and good things especially when Jupiter is involved, sometimes it can bring an overabundance of something.

In this case with Mercury, it can cause the President to say more, to reach into his past and speak about his ideals, or dreams. It may create some self-sabotage, but with the good aspect that his Jupiter has to the Moon, it should evoke an emotional response from the public.

Obama's chart is quite complicated in this respect because his natal Jupiter is the apex of a yod from natal Venus in the 5th house of all things he loves and invests in, and his progressed Venus in the 7th house of key relationships. So the energy of what he loves and the people he is closest to propel him and will either uncover his weaknesses or carry him to his strengths.

Additionally his natal Jupiter is opposed by natal Mercury, so he has been struggling to balance his dreams, loves and issues of money and resources with his karmic past. Thus something may come up and it will be interesting to watch how he handles it. He has a lot of planetary support to avoid self-sabotage.

Another planet supporting him through this debate is transiting Venus in his 7th house. Venus is 1 minute separating from a quincunx to Jupiter, and it is applying to progressed Venus, so it could create stress as he reconsiders and re-examines his words and thoughts. I will certainly slow them down. But then that is nothing new.

In the 4th House: Transiting Jupiter is applying a trine to the Ascendant, giving Obama an optimistic emotional feeling and may make him look larger than life to the people. (It is interesting that this will occur only in this first debate because Jupiter will station retrograde tomorrow and will not go direct till January.)

A final comment, as the debate ends, the Moon will be at 25 degrees Taurus which will square his natal nodes and trine his natal Saturn ruler of his 12th and his Ascendant. I believe he will feel strong and that he has done the best he could. At the same time he will feel he met the challenge and will be hoping he has done enough to achieve his goal.

As promised here are the charts and comments emphasizing the fixed stars for both President Obama and Mitt Romney.

A quick note, in case Fixed Stars are new to you. Fixed Stars are the Suns in other galaxies. They are what makes up all the constellations in the sky. In ancient times, astronomers and astrologers watched these stars and their geometrical connections or aspects to the planets and luminaries of our solar system. Certain stars appeared to have significant influences on human events. 
Today through the use of computers, astrologers have confirmed and expanded the power of these stars not only for mundane events but also clearly in the natal charts of individuals. I find they are the very backdrop of each individual. It is your fixed stars that steady who you are, form the rudder of how you drive your life and how you deal with life as a whole. They truly are key to things hidden inside ourselves. 

Mitt Romney - Fixed Stars

While I prepared for a radio show, I took some time to study the many charts for this election because I never know what I will be asked. I had not really studied Mitt Romney's natal chart by itself a

nd with all the issues he has encountered through his words, I decided to examine it for this. 

It took only seconds to realize what a challenge Mitt faces. In the field of Fixed Stars, Romney has the star Achernar (from the constellation 'Eridanus', the river) conjunct his Mercury (Communication). This creates crises and thus it is clearly defining his words.

Additionally he was born with Mercury Retrograde, conjunct his Sun being squared by Uranus and quincunx Pluto. This combination can cause him to say things suddenly when under emotional stress, or when he is caught off guard to say things that he feels are powerful or that may even be secrets he has held. The retrograde aspect of Mercury can make him think in ways that more internal or outside the common or ordinary ways of thinking.

We see a yod (also called the Finger of God) formation between Neptune/Pluto pointing to Mercury, indicating issues of power, intuition, creativity, control, hidden emotions, wishes, dreams, self-sabotage, work, investments and what he loves need to regulated through his mental and verbal processes. You may say well isn't that the case for everyone? Yes, but not in the way this is indicated in Romney's chart.

The very challenges he faces from stress, sudden changes in how he see other seeing him and his own desires, along with Achernar's tumultuous, explosive energy; make it necessary for this soul to learn to work with these issues in ways other people will never feel or understand.

Though there are lots of other things to be said about Romney's chart, I believe knowing how Achernar will will always be there activating his Mercury, makes him a less stable speaker; and more of a reactor in the case of unexpected events or triggers that are directed to him. I would not feel safe with this combination of planetary/fixed star energy in a person who would command our military. What are your thoughts?

Barack Obama - Fixed Stars

Here is President Obama's chart. I believe fixed stars and the nodes tell a lot about a person and who they really are inside. 

Romney's fixed stars include: Achernar conjunct his Mercury, which can activate the gaffes & crisis when he speaks. He also has Alcyone from the Pleiades parallel his Pluto, which gives him an aloof air, and activates an emotional arrogance and judgmental

 attitude.

Obama has a completely different variety of stars. The one most people notice immediately, is Zosma, in the broken back of Leo. Because it is active with his Mercury, everyone hears it when he speaks. It causes his speech to be delayed, hesitant, broken at times, but always deeply thought. It tells us he leads not so much for himself, as for those who have been broken. It shows a deep mind.

His Mercury is opposite Jupiter and Saturn (Jupiter & Saturn in conjunction is the sign of the guru, so not surprising that many see him as such, especially since they are conjunct in the 12th house which indicates he has been a Spiritually advanced soul in past lifetimes, whose view of the world may have caused trouble, or some kind of imprisonment for him because it went against the established/government or religious views of the time) This opposition causes him to struggle and more cautiously speak. He is careful not to reveal too much, though his nature is to want to say more, to freely speak and allow his own humor to flow through. But past lives cause him to pull back.

The trine between his Jupiter/Saturn conjunction and the Moon in the fourth house, shows he has a following, a base of people that he has from past lives. he has nurtured them in the past with his broad ideas and they love him.

His Jupiter is activated by Altair, the fixed star of The Eagle. It gives him a much broader view of the world, it can let him see outside the box, it offers a Spiritual connection with more than the people of his nation and gives tremendous courage. I believe this Star is what gives him the strength to take action where others fear to tread.

His Pluto is activated by Thuban, the fixed star in Draco. It empowers him to protect his friends, family and his standing in the world. A part of him treasures all of these and they are very important to him.

Chiron, the wounded healer, the business associates, the soul family resides in his first house and is activated by Deneb Adige, the fixed star in Cygnus, the Swan. The gives him a strong will and determination to see things through. Under hard activation from the Moon and Pluto, it can cause him to have a temper though it is also part of a grand trine to Neptune and Venus, so it would take some serious transits to make that anger last any length of time.

That said, we come to the most important and most difficult of the Fixed Stars in his chart, Regulus, the brightest star in the heart of Leo. This is one the four royal stars of Persia. These stars always bring success, but require something for that success to continue. In Obama's chart, this star activates his North Node, which is in his seventh house conjunct Uranus and quincunx his Saturn. This is an enormous challenge and gift rolled into the purpose of this soul's life.

When we look at the North Node, we look at what is this soul's purpose. Then of course we look at the placement and all aspects to it, to understand more clearly how this soul will work through and attain this purpose.

In the case of Barack Obama, the soul's purpose is about stepping beyond past life individualism, and stepping up relationships to the leadership level of patriarch.

The statement activated with Uranus takes it beyond the common relationships to a marriage with the world. While this will be challenged by a stressful relationship with those who have been in control in past lives, (Saturn in the 12th), and perhaps are still presently in control. It is a statement of re-examining the establishment that imprisons people (not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, and through all kinds of established practices from banking to religion) and re-working it to create more freedom for those who we would call the underdogs. This is a very stressful combination and though the fixed star Regulus promises success, if Obama should seek revenge, all will be lost.

The last of Obama's main fixed stars activates his Moon, it is Sualocin, in the constellation of the Dolphin. This is a lovely star that tells us what he is like at home with his family, it is a very joyful, playful star that can sometimes be naive, but it is always hopeful. I would say with this man, because of the love his the women in his life, and the activation of Sualocin, hope springs eternal.

---

I hope you enjoy the debates and that you look deeply into each man to find the qualities you hope to see in our president. I believe, as I have said many times before, America is on a precipice, we must redefine our values. So ask yourself what is the American Dream to you? And how do you think our government should be designed to make it available to everyone?
