A metaphysical blog to answer questions on astrology, predictions, psychic experiences, psychics, metaphysics, relocation astrology, fixed stars, constellation, astrologers, astrocartography, horoscopes, world events, economy, national disasters, life crisis, health issues, disease, death, dying, children, karma, karmic connections, soul mates, etc.
We question why, what could possibly make anyone want to mindlessly kill others? What nightmare in their head could be so loud as to bring them to weapons and premeditated murder of innocent people? How does one speak to God while witnessing no protection for It's Innocent Children?
I expect these and many more questions are running through your mind as you are reminded of the horror that took place at 12:30am Friday, July 20, 2012 in the premier of the Batman movie at a mall multiplex theater in Aurora, Colorado.
Then as we reflect on the wild or empty stares of the murderer, we may be plagued with other questions. Where is the truth hidden? How does one know what is truth and what is smoke screen?
We live in a time when Maya* (illusion) is not just in the separation of soul's 360 degree awareness from the cloudy physical 'reality,' but also in a time where mind control experiments* have been part of the secret military agenda* for more than 70 years. So how can we know what is truth?
We must take time each day to connect with our higher self, our true self, the souls that we are. Focus on loving you and over time you will come to peace with you. You will learn the value of being the unique individual you are and the joy of witnessing unique qualities in another.
When tragedy strikes if you have practiced self-attunement, self-love, you will not see the tragedy as others see it. You will hear the way others speak of it, witness the tragedy with them, but you will see other patterns beyond those of the physical acts.
Though the ones in control, who may have driven this young man to murder and injure so many people are hidden from view, and have an agenda with no regard for life; the Souls of the beings under siege will have the last word, and the agenda of the few will backfire. But Soul's plan is long and may take years to unveil.
Looking from Souls viewpoint, we can see a gathering of energy and once more the question of what is important rises to the top of the list. People all over this country and the world must refocus on what is valuable. This is the first of the gemstones we receive from those who gave their lives in this tragedy.
Each tragic event shocks the universal system of consciousness, awakening it to re-align with truth. Truth is what we are, for soul is transparent and always true to the light. We are unique, we are here to love and love is the most important gift we can give and receive. Not money, movies, clothing, cars, status, fame, recognition, awards. Love, simple love. From the heart of love comes compassion, a striking antonym to the indifference of the a cold-hearted murderer.
Let the bell of truth ring clear as we morn, pray and honor those who have died, been injured, traumatized or suffered the loss of a loved one, in this terrible tragedy. Their deaths strike a chord to awaken our hearts to what is truly important in this physical journey - Love.

Though the 4th of July is the date we Americans celebrate the birth of our nation, as astrologers we look at what we call the 'Solar Return,' the time when the sun comes back to the exact position it was at the moment of the original birth, whether of a nation or a person.
This Solar Return speaks to the year ahead and actually to a bit of the year behind. It tends to cover an 18 month time frame.
So let's take a look at what it indicates for our nation in this most crucial election year.
Here is the United States Solar Return Chart for 2012. As you can see the actual return took place on the 3rd of July at 3:37 pm ET.
Just looking at
the angles, which are the areas of greatest power in a chart, we see Mercury
is the most elevated planet and the closest to an angle. It is at 8 degrees
Leo, in the 9th house of legislation, media and the Internet. Mercury here
rules the house of other people’s resources, bankers, taxes, mortgage brokers, credit card companies,the president's cabinet, etc. Mercury is trine to Uranus who is sitting in the house of
investments, the stock market, and it is the ruler of the nation’s property,
our homes. This is a good sign for some kind of legislation that may get
through the legislature suddenly and open a door for more help with mortgages,
and housing issues.
A further look shows Mercury is quincunx Pluto, who sits
late in the second house, our home of national gross product, our income and
our spending. Pluto is the co-ruler of
the first house, which represents the people of this nation. So this statement
shows the people stressed about money and they are re-assessing the Congress
and explosively, even violently calling for change. Some of this may be by
phone calls, but there is a definite indication that social networking through
the Internet may be involved as well as petitioning or igniting the media.
The square between Pluto and Uranus shows the explosive
nature of the challenges at hand, both in our investments of real estate, our
credit, income levels, and our stock market may be volatile during this time.
The aspects between Pluto and Uranus make other statements
as well. They indicate the emotionally volatile nature of Americans over the
issues of money and housing.
Though this looks violent, there is a yod action with Pluto
as the point in this chart. Look at Venus in the beginning of the 8th house.
She is sextile to Mercury and thus also quincunx to Pluto. In astrology when
you see a close sextile which focuses to a planet on the opposing midpoint,
this is called a yod, or as the ancients called it, ‘The finger of God.’
Venus rules the house of enemies, and the house of karma, self-sabotage, imprisonment, and hospitals. She also represents money and possessions. As she is
speaking with Mercury and in Mercury’s sign of Gemini, we see her working to
create more money through legislation, Venus also gains some influence from
Jupiter who is focusing her on expanding money or making more mortgages and
loans available.
But in order to relieve the stress created by her quincunx
aspect to Pluto; money, loans, taxes, and mortgages must be pushed through the
legislature. Pluto is the focal point of the yod, so there is a call to fully
transform the monetary system, or the way money has been handled and spent or
sold, or loaned for centuries. It is indicative that there must be an overhaul
to relieve the stress due to our own past actions, karmic, self-sabotage.
The fact that Mercury is most elevated in the sign of Leo
(the sign of the president) and that it is in a positive aspect with Venus,
Jupiter (ruler of 2nd house of money, and fifth house of investments) and
Uranus seems to indicate that the contract that the president has made with the
people will become more noticeable, and this should help to open doors for the relief he pledged
when he was inaugurated.
While we have no absolutes about who will be elected
president in November, this chart offers more information that leads me to
believe Obama will continue and that he will get more done now than ever
before.
Mars is the other ruler of the people of the nation, and the
ruler of the 6th house of the military, national employment, and the health of
our nation. It sits in the 11th house of large organizations and the hope of the
nation.
Mars continues to tie the chart together by applying a sextile to
Mercury, and a trine to the South Node, Jupiter and Venus, and it is in Venus’
sign of Libra. It is as though a safety net is being woven together for the people.
Work, health, military and housing will receive some kind of relief or money.
It could be through tax relief, loans, credit card or mortgage relief, or
through some other legislative means. But there is a strong indication with
this chart that something good is on the way. Because Mars is applying, it will
not be there today but will move into place soon.
Mars is also applying a wide orb opposition to Uranus, and
thus a square to Pluto, making it part of an explosive and rather scary
T-square But a closer look, seems to
soothe some of the potential for explosive violence, because Uranus is in
Aries, the sign that Mars rules, giving Mars the edge in this otherwise scary
opposition. And since Mars is in Venus’ sign of Libra, while he is courting Venus,
it appears to indicate a challenging transformation and sudden change in
actions, to one of more congeniality, to more cooperation rather than
aggression. Mars’ contact with Mercury gives still another signature that shows
talk, leadership, information, rather than violence.
Please remember that astrology is based in consciousness, it
is not fate. We as a nation can take these pictures and find new ways of
manifesting them, all still in alignment with the planetary actions. We do not
have to bring out the negative energies but can use our own awareness to
activate a more positive change.
I see a lot of hope in this chart.
I love that Mercury is
the most elevated planet and that it is in Leo with Leo at the Midheaven. It is
a bright signature of leadership, joyful talk and when you consider that it is
in the house of the legislature and media, you may want to dismiss this statement as off
target completely. We certainly have seen little but arguments and derisiveness
in our Congress since President Obama was inaugurated. But this signature is
not without some conflict that must be and will be resolved.
The ruler of the 9th house in this chart is the Moon, she
sits in Mercury’s third house, the house of communication and contracts. The
Moon is 27 degrees of Capricorn and separating from a square to Saturn at 22
degrees Libra in the 12th house, ruler of 3rd and 4th. Here is an emotional
nation challenged by its past actions, challenged by its contracts with
corporations and government regarding housing, property. It is also challenged
emotionally by what it hears through media controlled by corporate structures.
But with the Moon in Saturn’s sign, the people have a better understanding,
they are more willing to meet the challenge and do some homework, or
research. So again I see this as a sign of hope. To take responsibility for our
actions, thoughts, or what we hear through media, we can start to make better
choices.
Additionally, the Moon is moving into a trine with Mars and
the south node, which indicates a doorway is opening for new contracts or the
fulfillment of an old contract that is part of the dream of the people.
So when I look at this chart in the long picture of a year,
I see promise, not without challenges but one which offers possibilities.
Now there are other ways to use this chart for timing.
Some astrologers will take the chart and move the wheel forward for each month to see the experiences projected for each month. I have already run some of these charts and will come back in part two and share these with you.
We are in for a bit of a ruff and tumble summer, but I truly believe we will be the better for it. Please let me know your thoughts. There are many signatures in astrology and we come to these pictures with different perspectives. Sharing our knowledge allows us all to grow.

The Solar Eclipse of May 20, 2012 began another step in our transformative process. On this day, Earth, Moon & Sun came into complete alignment with Alcyone, the great sun, and brightest star of the Pleiades.
Many significant activations occurred in this process. First as the planets became aligned, we experienced an annular solar eclipse. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth. An annular eclipse happens when the moon is at its apogee, which means it is at its farthest distance from earth, and thus cannot completely block out the sun as in a total eclipse. This of course creates a spectacular image called the 'ring of fire', which is seen as the moon covers about 94% of the sun leaving a ring of fire.
Eclipses can be seen only in certain parts of the world, and the May 20th eclipse was visible to anyone with a cloudless sky along the northern Pacific rim and across most of the US and Canada except along the Eastern coast.
Watch this NASA video to easily understand this annular eclipse
According to the ancients, the path of the eclipse, which is clearly shown in the video above, indicates where the results or events of the eclipse's activation will occur.
Astrologically speaking, an eclipse declares there will be key events taking place under its path and that those events will continue for years depending on the amount of time that the eclipse takes to complete. This eclipse will have repercussions for nearly six years.
Because of the alignment with Alcyone, we know this will bring turbulence, insight, honor and glory. This alignment last took place about 26,000 years ago. To be in this position allows the frequencies from Alcyone in the Pleiades, to activate the pituitary glands in every human being in it's path.
It is the Pituitary Gland that is the Stargate for all humans. Wrapped in this tiny gland is a capsule of water, which is our doorway between worlds. We call it imagination, but Spiritually, it is the eye of the needle that the camel will pass through, as stated in scriptures. This Stargate allows us to move into the unseen worlds, parallel universes, and numerous time-lines.
Through activation of the pituitary gland, we ascend into a higher frequencies. This eclipse took us another step in this Ascension process, which is moving us to a fourth dimensional awareness.
You may experience a greater awareness quickly or may take several years to adjust to it. No matter, it is happening.
Mayan Calendar Day of The Rattlesnake
According to the Aztec Calendar, the May 20, 2012 eclipse is also the day of the Rattler. Here is an excerpt from the Insight Blog
"This is the Maya day known as 10 Chikchan, a “Foundational” energy associated with Lifeforce, Liberation, and Higher Consciousness. This is also a Burner Day, traditionally associated with an idea referred to as “running with the fire”, this time in conjunction with an annular solar eclipse. This is the day of the solar zenith passage, when the sun and the Pleiades are conjunct as they pass through the zenith over the Pyramid of Chichén Itzá in the Yucatan. Since the great serpent that “slithers” down this temple on the solstice was thought to be a rattlesnake whose tail points to the zenith, this special day has been referred to as “Rattlesnake” Day. This 10 Chikchan day is symbolic of the great Feathered Serpent that is representative of higher knowledge in conjunction with an energy that represents the “foundation for resurrection”."
The eclipse itself activated at 0 degrees Gemini. When we put these two facts together, along with Alcyone's influence, we note a new message or warning is being sounded by the great sentient bodies of our galaxy. We are about to learn ancient truths and must clear the illusions to see again with the third eye.
With the onset of Uranus & Pluto coming into an exact square on June 23 - 24, and a Lunar trigger activating them on the 21st, the words turbulence will be clearly understood as an earthquake, or earthquakes activate in the shadow or path of the eclipse. Where exactly it will hit, I have not had the time to examine, but since the Eclipse path covers the ring of fire on the Pacific and across through the middle of the USA, there are many possibilities.
June 20, 2012 - Cancer Ingress*
As I look at the Cancer Ingress Chart for the USA, I can see there is going to be turbulent activity on our soil. Here you see that Uranus, the bringer of sudden, unexpected experiences, is in the fourth house - house of our property or our soil. Uranus is squared (challenged) in this chart by the great transformer and explosive Pluto, late in the first house (home of our people) and ruler of the 12th (home of all the issues we have hidden from ourselves from prisons to karma), while it is also opposing the Moon (our land, property and emotional attachments to it) / Sun (our president and our egos) midpoint. Additionally the fourth house cusp, or Nadir, IC, is at the critical degree of 29 degrees Pisces (an ending before a new beginning), while we have Neptune (ruler of water, gases, drugs, illusions), the co-ruler of the 4th house of property in a terrible T-square with it's 4th house co-ruler Jupiter (the expander, making all things more obvious and bigger) and the North (our purpose or goal) & South Nodes (our karma and foundational skills).
Putting all of this together, which for most of you are who are not studying astrology may find complicated and confusing, here are some of the pictures it gives. Please note, I am giving mundane pictures here, but there are many levels to all of this, and it can be explained in terms of contracts, lies, transformative struggles between corporations, old structures opposing the president and the people; the housing situation, employment and a lot of other issues as well.
We are likely to experience, as a result of a violent eruption in the earth, on our soil, which may be earthquake or volcanic explosion that rumbles the earth, a major flood. This looks like a critical experience of major flooding that is a physical result of karmic issues. When I say karmic issues, I am pointing to choices made in the past, which could be nuclear, or driven by power or greed, or made for us secretly behind the scenes.
The Longitudinal Fixed Stars add to the picture.
The most challenging one here is Pluto in exact conjunction to Facies.
Facies** is the star in the face of the constellation of the Archer. It is a star known for blindness, ruthlessness and causing victims or being a victim. It carries Mars energy. When you consider that this chart has Mars most elevated and that Facies is a Mars energy, we have a very war-like chart. But as Mars is in the sign of Virgo, which can be armies, but also can be service, I am inclined to say the chart tells us of armies focused to serve the victims of a sudden, explosive event that causes fires and major destruction by flood or inundation of water.
Also in these fixed stars, you can note that the Moon is exactly conjunct Canopus.*** This fixed star is a point that cuts the water steering the ancient ship and name of the constellation, the Argo. So it will take the people of this nation in a new direction.
Now add in the Moon's contact to Sirius**** and Arcturus.*****
Sirius, the brightest star in our galaxy, part of the constellation Canis Major and often times called the 'Dog Star,' was named by the Egyptians, "The Scorcher." It's mundane activation with the Moon can bring a burning of the land, but more importantly an emotional burning that brings to a new understanding of what is Sacred.
The fixed star, Arcturus in the constellation Bootes, gives us a new direction, a new approach, a new more civilized way of doing things. So with the Moon it give the land a new direction.
Facies is also the evening Rising and Setting Star across the United States and actually across all these Northern latitudes around the world setting on June 29th and rising on the June 30th. So these dates may be activation points as well.
In Conclusion
When we put these indications together, it seems to paint a picture of a transformation that may come from an earthquake, flood or major explosive event involving the land mass, property or homes in this nation. It points to an emotional time where we are challenged to take a new direction. It indicates that we must take a new approach to what we call our property, each other and the way we will respect both the water and the land.
The most important thing for any of us to remember is that we are in a time of expanding consciousness. It is a huge leap we are taking that will bring us a time of peace. So keep your attention fixed on this vision of peace, stay aware of the outside world but remember it is the 'outside world', and listen to your guidance, your feelings, you inner voice. Then I am sure you will find all the information you need for a safe journey in this time.

At this time in our expanded development, as we leap forward into the elastic universe, a place where manifestation is faster, we must understand and accept responsibility for our creations.
We are dissolving layer after layer of illusions (maya) and beginning to see the truth of those who have wielded power and control.
We are removing the blinders that we allowed others to place over our eyes, which caused us to believe in our damnation & to forget, forbid, and fear the truth, that we are limitless and divine.
I wish each of you, every blessing in this Season of Peace & Love..
May your heart expand and overflow with love for all life in every form.
May your eyes open to your own Divinity
May you recognize the Divine nature of every life form on this planet,
May you feel the love that pours to you from all Beings of Light,
May you discover abundance always flowing into your life, &
May all forms of fear evaporate like fog in the light of the sun.
Wishing you the courage to love yourself, and recognize your true power.
