Beyond the Super Moon

Update: As we have passed through this gateway of a Super Moon with no major seismic activities, we should be happy and congratulate ourselves. There are ways to re-balance the planet without having to experience enormous upheavals. When lightworkers allow the planet to use them to vent steam, the planet settles and as it needs to move its axis, it will do so in a gentle, non-violent manner.

Please continue to pour love into the planet because the new Aries Ingress starts tomorrow. It has all the signatures of the charts below with the exception of the moon, which moves very rapidly.

As that chart becomes active, there are several significant dates to note. On those days we need to emphasis a meditative practice of love. I have listed some dates in my 2011 Astrology Forecast / Predictions. But I will share more of these dates in the next week.

A simple practice of love:

• Take a deep breath, hold it and then release. Feel all intensity leave your body. 
• Take another breath, hold it, then release. Feel all concerns, and fears leave your body. You are becoming relaxed and balanced.
• Take one more deep breath and know you are breathing in light, harmony, peace, balance. Now release it and feel at peace. 
• In this state, visualize the light filling up every cell in the galaxy of your body. Feel it fill you expanding your heart, flowing out through your torso, your limbs, your mouth, and bursting out the top of your head. Feel the loving power of peace and balance. 
• Now visualize it flowing in a consistent stream of light our of every meridian point in your body, out your fingers and toes, out into the earth's grid, it's atmosphere and into every part of the oceans, and earth, the mountains, the valleys, the grasses, the trees, the sand, the cities. 
• Relax in this flow as you see and feel the joy of love pouring into the earth. 
• Smile, you have helped the planet and everyone on it. Good work!

Thank you, for loving yourself. Each time you do, you send love to all life and help the planet hold its balance.

Posted earlier this morning
Later today, March 19, at 11:10 a.m. Pacific Time/ March 20, 3:10 a.m. Japan Time, the Moon will be at its closest point in its orbit around earth, It will also be in alignment with the sun and earth. This is called a Super Moon, and has historically created an increased pull on the tides, making them deeper, while also activating seismic responses from the depths of the earth, especially under water.

Considering the issues in Japan with six nuclear reactors in disrepair, due to both an earthquake of 9.0 and the tsunami that followed, we already have a crisis situation underway.

Radiation is a poison, and as we  look at the configuration of the planet at the moment that the moon is closest to the earth, we can see a stress point in the inconjunct aspect between Neptune (rules poisons and gases) and the Moon (represents the people in a mundane chart).

This Super Full Moon, not only opposes the Sun in Aries (breakthroughs, fire, ruler of the nation), but also opposes Uranus (sudden unexpected event) and Scheat (fixed star of drowning). This is a major cosmic pattern. In addition to these aspects, Jupiter (expansion) is opposing Saturn (contraction, restrictions, government, corporations, structures, buildings)

And finally there is T-Square activating between the Moon, Sun, Uranus, Scheat and Pluto (transformative power, explosions)

This is a combination that spells, explosion and expansion of earth - earthquake, volcanic eruption, and tsunamis. It also spells revolution, breakthroughs, new beginnings, brilliant inventions and struggles that may include massive drownings, fire and weather carrying poisons.

Though the world is focused on Japan and Libya, it might be a good idea to examine two areas where the activity is on the angles, which may be where we see significant activity.

Indonesia - Home of Karkatau & Numerous Volcanoes

Below is the chart for Jakarta, Indonesia, which is that nation's capital. Here the activity is significant because we have Saturn on the angle, squaring Pluto, which is applying to the Ascendant, and opposing Mercury on the descent. At the same time Mars is in a separating quincunx from Saturn. This is definitely volcanic activity, but with Saturn at the Midheaven instead of at the IC, it may not be as terrible as it looks, though the close proximity of the Moon and its aspects could create major difficulties of water, and result in tsunamis. The statement shows fire on the land moving very quickly, challenging the people with water following the ordeal. This is a difficult chart.

Europe - Home of Vesuvius

On the other side of the planet we have another chart, of course all the planets and luminaries are in the same aspect but it is the location that activates the angles.
Here is a chart for Mount Vesuvius.

Here Pluto is on the IC, Saturn is on the Ascendant opposing Jupiter on the descendant. Pluto on the IC is an explosion and transformation of the land, challenged by Saturn and Jupiter; while Uranus, the Sun and the Moon, are applying in a challenging wide orb. This is a very active chart and we need to pour light into the region to help balance the intensity of this astrological configuration.

Now you may have noticed that in Jakarta, Saturn is at the Midheaven, while in Italy it is on the Ascendant, so where would you find Saturn at the IC. This is an important question because Saturn in this type configuration on the IC can indicate a sinking of land and an inundation of water.

I know you will not be happy with the answer, but it is along the East Coast of the United States. Here is a chart for Washington D.C.

This chart is two-fold, it may be indicating an inundation and sinking along the U.S. East Coast due to tsunamis caused by Vesuvius. I do not understand the geological connection since Vesuvius is an inland volcano, but this chart has these statements. But when we take this chart and place it on the planet, there is another situation that arises. The Sun, Uranus, Scheat opposition Moon line falls along the Mississippi River, and we may see earthquakes and a terrible inundation in this area. This may also register the area where we will see sudden and serious conflict, protests and revolution unlike anything we have seen in eighty-four years.

There is so much to say about this time as the frequencies increase we must align ourselves with the light. We must learn to stay calm and call upon our higher selves, our angelic selves, our BA, as the Egyptians call it - our soul self for guidance and healing power.

Though these charts are set for the Super Moon, it is a gateway to the Aries Ingress Chart, which begins twenty-nine hours and eleven minutes later, that gives a picture of the next three months. This period will not be short of challenges and news.

If you are concerned about radiation, viruses or bacteria, please take time to read through Tom Kenyon's post on Medicines of Light.

Life Beyond Death - Do Loved Ones Communicate?

Recently, I received a note regarding the loss of a child. Because I know there are others who have had this tragic, terrible experience, I felt it might be good to share the note I wrote back to her. I have added an additional message for my readers at the end of this blog.

Here is the note.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I feel your grief as I lost my baby girl many years ago. I was inconsolable for weeks. But the Spiritual Masters I work with pulled me out of it to find life again. 


There is no loss like that of a child. But once you let go of the intense pain and emotion, you will be able to feel your child's presence, and begin to understand that her journey on earth was meant to be short. 


The higher self (soul) or true self charts a plan for its life. It makes the agreements and decides how long it will be here. For some it is very short, painfully for all who love them. But the soul who leaves, leaves having completed the karmic gifts and retributions it intended. 


Those left behind, especially the parents and siblings, go through a time of transformation and find a new way to look at life. 


Some unfortunately go to an angry space instead of finding a loving one. Then all the underlying issues of being abandoned by God come to the surface and the individuals left behind must cope with this.While in this entanglement, they lose sight of the child as soul. 


The soul is not subjected to whim or accident, no matter how it appears in the physical world. There are always multi-faceted reasons for every event.

If a person left behind finds themselves focused on the date of death, then there is likely a message in it. In this case the mother felt it was an important date, so I evaluated it, to see what message might be hidden there.


Looking at these numbers, 11, 2, 2008, 11, 2 - there is certainly a message.


11 is a master number and it relates to the number 2. It calls for mastering the intuitive gift. The dream connection to the higher self and the worlds not seen by physical eyes.


The 8 is a wonderful number - perfect in any position, a symbol of infinity - telling you life is a constant, it continues without ending.. you need only master the number 2 - the dream connection to see this.


11 + 2 + 8 = 21 = 3 The number three is the number of the Mother, the one who nurtures and cares for others, it is both a statement of gratitude for your love and caring and a warning not to become the martyr. 3's or Moms (male or female) will give to their children and to others to the point of becoming care-takers. When they reach a point where they find themselves saying: "I can't because...", they will have gone past the point of caretaker and become the Martyr. So here is the warning from your daughter saying - You are a wonderful mother, please do not become a martyr because I have left my physical vessel. I love you and am still here, just not as easily seen or heard.


11 + 2 + 8 + 11 + 2 = 34 = 7 And finally the last and most hidden number is 7. The number of change, of taking risks, of speeding through life, This number tells you that your child came here for a short run, a fast changing experience. She did what she came to do and has traveled with great energy and excitement to the next level of creation. This is a very happy, exciting and optimistic number. It tells you that the soul anticipated the change and was excited to go to this next level of creation.


I pray this has been helpful to you. That you will find solace in knowing your child is fine and that you are actually still with them in your astral form. We do not have just a physical vessel directed by soul, but on all the lower levels of creation, we have a vessel, which we use to manifest in that level. The astral level is the one closest to the physical and thus it is the one that most of us move into as we leave the physical form. It is not foreign to any human since we move into it each night when we sleep.


To help you realize this, I will ask you to think of night when you woke, and still sleepy, went to the bathroom. I am certain that you bumped your shoulder during one of these times. You did not do this because you are clumsy, but because your consciousness was active on the astral level with limited awareness in the physical. In the Astral everything is larger, and thus you saw the larger astral doorway, but of course your physical body bumped into the smaller physical one.

I do hope this has helped you.

When we experience the loss of someone we love, we need to recognize that if the loved one, who has crossed over wants to communicate with us, they will as soon as we can release the emotional pain. Only then will they be able to get their message through. They cannot reach through an emotional energy field to touch you. You must come to a calm place, so you can receive their voice, their symbol, their sound, their song, their rainbow, their butterfly, the scent of their favorite flower, or whatever method they use to get their message across.

I have had clients who experienced communication from their loved ones in all the ways I have just described and more.

Sometimes when you need more confirmation, you can ask Spirit to bring it to you and you will be surprised who will walk up to you and point something out that confirms the message.

I myself, after the loss of my daughter, had students from one of my dream classes come up to me and state, "We can see your daughter next to you, why don't you bring her to class?"

I smiled at them and said, "This is the only way I can bring her, she does not have a physical body."

Life is a continuum of consciousness. It does not stop and never will. We will love each other always.

13th Zodiac Sign? Ophiuchus

Constellation Ophiuchus by Elijah Burritt in 1850 from the plate
titled: The Visible Sky in July, August and September *

A New Zodiac Sign?

A Candid Conversation with astrologer, Michele Avanti, CAP

 

By Michelene K. Bell

Most recently the news has been abuzz with Mr. Parke Kunkle’s revelation that we now have a 13th zodiac sign and everyone now has a new zodiac sign. After all these years I have gone from Taurus to an Aries. Wow, I looked at Aries and I must say, none of the characteristics fell in place; Taurus…it was right on.

As one can imagine, Mr. Kunkle’s actions has caused quite a stir; therefore, I decided that we needed to have information…not speculation. Below is an interview with Michele Avanti, a Certified Master Astrologer who takes pride in her meticulous calculations of an ancient practice and science.

ILT: So Michele, I must say, Mr. Kunkle seems to have stirred up a hornets nest? Any thoughts on this?

MA: Yes, I have quite a few thoughts. Being a professional astrologer and a member of three international astrological organizations, I knew immediately something was not right in Kansas. So I checked to see what credentials Parke Kunkle might have to create a whole new zodiac. It turns out he is an astronomy teacher at a community college in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Being an astronomer, Kunkle observed that the sun, as seen through his telescope, did not appear in the same constellation as the zodiacal sun sign listed in his local horoscope column. So without consulting anyone at any university offering degrees in astrology, or calling any astrological organization, of which there are many in the U.S.A., he set out to correct this issue by creating a thirteenth sign.

Had he done so, he would have discovered this is not new news as the signs of the zodiac have been different from the constellations of the zodiac since the time of Aristarchus of Samos, 230 BCE. We’ve always been aware of the precession of equinoxes, the wobble of Earth’s orbit and the tilt of the planet.

Based on his comment: “You could predict when to harvest, when to plant, by the stars. So there is some predictive nature there. Then they took it too far using it to determine when to go to war and {using it to predict} people’s personalities.” It becomes obvious that Kunkle does not realize the depth of research over the last four thousand years, which is the basis of astrology. depth of research over the last four thousand years, which is the basis of astrology.

Without having any professional knowledge of astrology, he assigned a new sign, and then defined its value with no research into its connection with human events or human experiences. That said, I must conclude Mr. Kunkle’s independent creation of a whole new zodiac is irresponsible. Far worse however, is the fact that the news media jumped on the bandwagon without researching the facts and caused even greater chaos.

ILT: You mentioned that he is an astronomer. What’s the difference between an astrologer and an astronomer?

MA: Quite simply an astronomer studies the physical and chemical properties of objects outside the Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomers watch their movements, take great pride in naming any new star or comet or nebula. They determine the distances between objects in space, and they gauge velocity, obliquity, atmospheres and density of matter. They study space and whatever is out there.

Astrology is quite different. It is the study of cosmic patterns made by planets, fixed stars and constellations; their relation to events, both mundane and individual, which take place on Earth. It is based on thousands of years of time-consuming research, which now in the computer age, is reaching new levels of accuracy and detail.

ILT: You’ve been a professional astrologer for decades. Please explain briefly the differences between Western Astrology and Eastern Astrology.

MA: Vedic astrologers and a small number of western astrologers use sidereal time, which is based on the orientation of the Earth relative to the galaxy. So if you were to look at your vedic wheel, it will indicate your sun is in Aries. Because, as Mr. Kunkle noted from his sidereal position (sidereal time actually relates to the viewpoint used at a time of day to view a particular star) on May 8th, the sun seen from planet Earth will appear to be about 25 degrees into the constellation of Aries.

Most Western astrologers use what is called the Tropical system or the Solar Day System and it uses the orientation of the Earth relative to our solar system.

Many people are unaware of the depth of astrology, or the enormous variety of techniques that have been developed over the centuries. We have several house systems as well as time systems. The topic of which system is better has been going on between astrologers for centuries. However, it has never stopped the accuracy of astrology because there is much more to it than the sun and position in the constellation.

A view of the night sky in the Northern Hemisphere 

Note, Ophiuchus in the upper right of the picture, his feet 

are on the pink line which represents the ecliptic**

ILT: What is sidereal time based upon?

MA: The actual definition of sidereal time is an astronomical one. It is a time-keeping system astronomers use to keep track of the direction to point their telescopes to view a particular star in the night sky. From a specific observation point, a star found at one location in the sky will be found at basically the same location at another night when observed at the same sidereal time. Thus, when we use sidereal time for our system, it is aligned with astronomers like Kunkle.

This article spans multiple pages, to see the answers to these questions:

• How do people view astrology?
• Could Mr. Kunkle be basing his theory on the new zodiac for those being born today?
• In your opinion with what Mr. Kunkle is proposing, how would that effect a persons life or even society?
• When dealing with astronomers, do they take into consideration your birth, the time and place as astrologers do?
• I understand there are many different charts in astrology. Could you provide us with a brief overview of those charts?
• Briefly explain a luminary.
• What is the difference between a Sun Sign and Lunation horoscope?
• What are some key elements in a chart reading?
• How many constellations are there that astrology is based on?
• Of course, no interview would be complete without…Mercury Retrograde. What does it mean and are there any positive aspects?
• One last question, what would you like our readers to take away from this interview?

Astrology, Metaphysics & Spiritual Tips

Please join me at my grand opening of my new Fan Page from 8 - 9 pm PT, Feb 8th, doing a teleconference about Astrology, Tarot, Archetypes & Metaphysical Mentoring to introduce everyone to my upcoming courses. 

Conference call number is: 1 (218) 339-2699 Code: 107110

Courses will be small and limited, so if you think you want to join me, please send me a message and I will add you to my list. 

Class fees can be paid by check or online through Paypal. 

Class Sessions: 
Mentoring is weekly for 8 weeks; 
Beginning Astrology is 13 weeks; 
Intermediate Astrology is the 1st & 3rd week each month - ongoing &
Secrets of The Tarot runs 10 weeks. 

Here is a brief description of each course: 

Mentoring Course - 8 weeks

I have found that despite teaching clients or friends techniques to get beyond their 

• fear of lack, 
• fear of loss of love, job, home, or money, 
• fear of age loss, 
• fear of memory loss, 
• fear of being wealthy, 
• fear of asking for something which leaves less for someone more worthy,   
• fear of dying, 
• fear of speaking in public, 
• fear of being left alone, 
• fear of unworthiness, 
• fear of going to hell, 

Or the techniques to:

• Attract money,
• Attract abundance,
• Attract love,
• Become self-confidant,
• Increase health,
• Increase awareness,
• Increase intuition,
• Increase love,
• Release anxiety,
• Release overwhelm,
• Be grateful for everything;

Despite all these techniques that may have been given, most people do not have the staying power to complete the cycle so that these issues never return. Instead what most people do, is they use the technique for a while till they feel better, then they sail along for awhile, then they start to sink again and need to start over with another phone call. 

So based on this, I am now starting a mentoring course. 

In this course I will be there for everyone:

• Once each week on a teleconference, 
• Once each week online, 

If you attend each class, actively participate by honestly voicing your fears and needs, I guarantee:

• I will help you keep your focus, 
• I will help you achieve what you are aiming to achieve, 
• This course will change you life, and 
• In 8 weeks, you will attain stability in the area of life you have been focusing. 

I believe sometimes we need to have someone there who will give us support and continue to physically point the way. Someone who will help us re-balance and re-focus through simple loving techniques and guidance. Someone who has worked with thousands of people and knows the pitfalls as soon as we speak. 

The mentoring course requires your commitment to eight weeks. Less than this will not get you what you need. After the first eight weeks you can decide if you feel you want to continue or if you feel you are set in creating the life you want. 

Most people will want to continue because once we get one area of our lives working the way we want it, we realize there are other areas we could use support with. So that option will remain open. But in all cases a course is eight week long. 

Classes run 1 hour, the student will call a teleconference number, so please be prepared to pay for this phone call. Each class will include a meditation, an EFT session, and personal reviews, exercises and techniques to realign each student with their goals. 

What you don't see. Each student will be part of my prayer connection. I will work with you on the inner as well as on the outer to achieve your goals. This cannot be seen, but it will give you strength and will assist you to take the steps and keep the focus to make a stable change. 

Fee is $134. You can pay by check or online through paypal. 

I will post more on the following classes soon:

Beginning Astrology - 10 weeks

Intermediate Astrology - twice a month, ongoing

Enlightenment Through The Tarot - 

Birthday - Aquarius - Meditation - Love

Today, is the first day of my seventh decade of life. In astrology, we call this the solar return, for today the sun will once more be at the degree it was in Aquarius when I took my first breath of life and began to drive a brand new physical organism - my human body. 


I did not feel wonderful on the day I was born. I was frightened and was not comforted immediately upon entering. My mother did not think I belonged to her, and she did not like the way I looked, so long, thin and red. But my grandma was delighted to see me. She said in Italian; "Brutto alla nascita, Bella quando esce!" which translates to; "Ugly at birth, beautiful when coming out." 


I think of all the children born in this world and wonder how many are loved at that first moment? How many receive a small percentage of the love that they need to flower into the magnificent creators that they truly are.

For just a moment, come into this meditation vision with me.

Safe in the sea of creation

Take a deep breath, hold it and then release it. Go to that moment when you took your first breath of life. Allow yourself to feel how you felt as you entered this new world. Now let me be there for you.



I smile and say, "I love you! You are the most beautiful and wonderful child in the world." I hold you and see the angels that surround you, and we smile because we know a new light has been born in this world of chaos. You know you are safe. You know you are loved. 


I nurture you with love and direction so that you know who you are. You are divine. 


I teach you to look with love upon all of creation, for the very being who created you, created all of this universe through love. Honor all life, for it is part of creator, as you are part of creator. 


I help you realize that you can find joy if you choose it. 


For wherever there is darkness, so too there is light. If you look for the light, you will find it. If you stand in the light you will become it. When you become the light, all that is, becomes you.


As you grow, I teach you that you cannot fail. You may take unusual turns from time to time just to get the experience you need to create more of what you desire.


Allow yourself to feel the love I am sending, for you are part of creation as am I, and we are now and always will be connected.

Creation expressed in the stars

I am writing this to share with you the love that is creation. Though today is the record of my solar return, I will spend it thinking of you, sending you love, sending you angels to offer you whatever you need, and I will meditate today that peace, joy and love will fill your heart, and you will find the answers you seek,


I am honored to share this planet and this galaxy with you and with all the forms of divine creation. 


Blessings and joy,
Michele  

Happy Birthday, Aquarius - the sign of revolution, invention, scientific logic, irreverent attitudes, outspoken demeanor. They are also leaders in the art of cooperation for a cause. They believe friendship is holy and connectedness with independent thought is essential. Though they will attempt to convince you of whatever they are passionate about, they will also listen and can be swayed if you present a logical case.



At this time, no outer planets are in Aquarius, but Jupiter is in Aries which will sextile Aquarian suns offering expanded optimism, freedom to express a new appearance, a new body, competitive spirit and a doorway to explore and travel. 


Saturn is in Libra and will activate the Aquarian Sun in a trining action, which may offer opportunity to connect with stable older people, offer a nice structured relationship, an opportunity to stabilize a relationship with someone older or even with a father who has been absent.

2011 Forecast

2011 Astrological Forecast – Michele Avanti CAP

When analyzing the stars for upcoming events, there are a few things, which are important for readers to know. First, I use the same methods that the astrologers of Persia used centuries ago. I look at the ingress charts for each of the cardinal signs. In plain English, that means, I run a chart for each time during the year that the sun enters zero degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, which is called a Cardinal Ingress Chart. The chart is set for the location that rules the area. In the case of the United States, that would be the White House in Washington, D.C.

Secondly, it is important to note what an astrologer does. Astrologers study the geometric patterns made by planets in constellations and how they relate to events that take place nationally or individually. Astrology is based on thousands of years of research, where records show that similar star patterns result in similar events.

That being said, it is important to note that all life forms have free will and that consciousness does evolve. Thus, as we look at the astrological pictures presented by the stars today, and attempt to understand how life on earth will respond to these influences, we need to remember that the old ways are not necessarily capable of giving us the complete story or the correct pictures.

In the last year, we have moved consciousness forward at an astounding rate. This is due to many factors, the most obvious one being our solar system aligning with the galactic center, the strongest, most powerful energy field in the over 26,000 year cycle of our sun.

This alignment calls for a step up in our creative power, and a greater connection to all life on this planet, this solar system and the galaxies beyond from which many of us have been seeded.

So with this said, I want each reader to open your mind and heart to the answers that come to you as I go through the many pictures that will be activated in 2011. Each reader will know what resonates and will find answers and pictures beyond what I have written here. It is important to remember we are all connected, not just to each other but to the very force of spirit we call ‘Creator.’

The overall view as I look at the four ingress charts for 2011 is that from December 21, 2011 through September 22, 2011, we as a nation are on the ride of destiny. It is a period when what comes together does so because we set the karmic pattern for this time. We will accomplish everything necessary to get us to the next step in our evolvement. To make this as clear as possible, I want each reader to think of times in their lives when they felt no matter how they tried to take control, fate seemed to step in and drive the bus. That is how it will go during this period.

Once we get to September 23, we feel freer to make choices and more balanced as a nation.

The Capricorn Ingress – December 21, 2010 – March 19, 2011

The first quarter is clearly focused on employment, health and military issues. The people are struggling with these issues and feeling imprisoned by them. The president is focused and organized in attempting to transform them, but the international contractual challenges revolving around outsourced jobs, and import, export issues are great and I do not see them breaking at this time. There is discussion, there is posturing, there are headlines but the outcome is they still stand.

Property values and the housing market are still at the bottom. Emotionally this is a downer for the nation though there is some behind the scenes work going on to empower the people through mortgages, banking system, taxes, I do not see that relief happening in this period.

As this period comes to a close, in March, something does open to give the empower the people with money or tax relief, but only after a long battle and when I look at the next chart the battle continues, so I am not sure the late arrival of this relief will do much more than give people hope.

We also begin this period under a Mercury Retrograde, which pulls in memories and past Christmas-times that challenge us to think spiritually of service and charity to the world at large. Though as a nation we are concerned about all the details of work, we have a nostalgic and optimistic holiday season.

But as Mercury moves forward into the second week of January, challenges escalate, the media suddenly reveals information about national employment, health, military, or mortgages, taxes, death toll, international or legal issues, or some secrets may be revealed that challenge the mindset of the nation. These revelations will challenge the people to question what is really happening. It may test their faith in government and, or God.

Around the 10th of January, the challenges should strike clearly in the headlines, and it may come through some attack or military action. During this time, the weather will also be very wet, icy and suddenly frozen. The stock market, or investment markets will have a run it seems. It appears to involve established, old stocks, those involved with underground, or underwater properties and international imports or exports. I expect oil and gas will both be active, as well as, companies internationally selling or producing surgical equipment. Also, entertainment stocks focused on espionage or beyond death experiences should see some action.

On January 19th, the full moon may trigger a massive flood. Hundreds or even thousands may drown since it involves Jupiter exactly conjunct the fixed star of drowning. But there is support from the people and the government, so perhaps we can avert the loss of life in some way. While this may occur in America, especially the Northeast, the midland, and the northwest, it will also be happening in many parts of the world. Additionally the threat of earthquakes in the Pacific my bring danger of tsunamis along the northwest coast. These issues will be in the news.

The Aries Ingress – March 20, 2010 – June 20, 2011

While in the last three months, the president had a clear organized focus and found himself immersed in the karmic struggle of old powerful international contracts, this period shows a drastic, sudden change in him.

It indicates past karma is publicly displayed, and the President is faced with a nation separating, people posturing in aggressive ways. He also appears suddenly brilliant, once more the man who electrified the country with his bid for the White House.

With the strong energies activating the President in this chart, I believe we will see him differently. No more, Mister Nice Guy, he is inventive, aggressive and direct. He will not be the Let’s do this together kind of guy we have seen in the past. Something is challenging him to lose his head, so to speak and be forthright.

Between the 3rd and 10th of April, some explosive event will take place. It may involve a gun or the military, a cabinet member or banking head, a contract or words said, explosive emotions and will take place on home soil. It will challenge the nation emotionally, and may make the rift in the nation even worse.

This event seems to directly affect the President. I took a look at his chart and it is disconcerting to see indications that may involve someone he loves, female, possibly a child. But it may also be something that he loves, so let us hope that it has nothing to do with a child, for this would be too much for any of us to bear.

During this period what may bring some national unity is the struggle with perceived foreign enemies.

There is emphasis on reorganization of government military contracts and international treaties, which causes stress.

People are spending more money and there are more investments in social networking on the web. Technology investments, entertainment and things that create beauty through technology are good during this period.

We have a more creative, inventive and social focus and are seen internationally for our nurturing nature.

The struggle to keep government and corporate control out of the Internet is aggressive during this time and Internet neutrality will not be lost in this quarter.

The early part of June may also bring some earthquake action.

I want to add some information about this chart that is not just for America but for the world.

This Ingress chart indicates something that has not been seen in recorded history.

When we look at an ingress chart, we view the sun as the ruler of a the nation. In this ingress chart the sun is conjunct Scheat, the fixed star of drowning. Fixed stars are said to move at a rate of approximately 1 degree every 72 years. Based on that rate and the fact that there are 360 degrees in the zodiac, the last time this star and the sun of the Aries ingress were conjunct would have been around 26,000 years ago. Does that ring a bell? That is the same approximation of time when last our solar system aligned with the galactic center. We are at a breakthrough in consciousness.

This Aries Ingress Chart indicates it is time for the rulers of nations to make a breakthrough, but some will lose their heads in the process and respond with fire, belligerence, and aggression. While others will respond with unexpected brilliance!

If we take this formula to identify the last time an ingress Sun conjoined Scheat, we would go to a Capricorn contact 90 degrees earlier, which would place it around 6,480 years ago. Still before recorded history, yet according to geological records this is the actual number bandied about as the time when the Mayans predicted the end of time forecast for 2012.

There can be no doubt this is a gateway to the end of time as we know it, and a doorway to a new kind of time.

The Cancer Ingress –June 21, 2011 – September 22, 2011

The President is being seen more now than ever. He is making news here and internationally.

This period looks worse for earthquakes. A cardinal cross consisting of Saturn, Mercury, Uranus and Pluto is on the angles. This is a volatile combination with a variety of outcomes, the most obvious being earthquakes. A very clear picture states: a challenge of connectivity over water due to sudden explosive fire from deep in the earth.

Both San Francisco and Los Angeles have this signature, so I suggest some preparedness and caution if you travel over bridges in these areas during the early part of this ingress.

Another picture that fits this cross is an explosive transformation in the housing market; people are challenged to separate from their homes and mortgages. This is certainly happening throughout California and in many parts of the country even as we speak, but perhaps the final cut off for many will be during this ingress next year.

It looks like there may be employment opportunities through public contracts, which come out of this challenge. People are experiencing stress re-assessing property, and their business and their dreams.

Overall the nation is challenged emotionally, investments are down, and there may be some severe market drops during this period, every bit as explosive as any earthquake.

National income is challenged and people are saving money, not spending. Air travel is also challenged, though there may be some government support to help the airlines.

The Libra Ingress – September 23, 2011 – December 20, 2011

As the year closes, the president is struggling with cabinet members, the tax changes, bankers, estate tax issues, and behind it all are the issues, which began the year, those of employment, military, and health.

But during this time, there are definitely more opportunities for jobs, people are partying more and they are putting their energy into their dreams. They are re-examining the employment and health care issues, and though there is still stress, it appears they realize there has been some healing.

The nation is working, people are saving money and stressing over luxury spending, higher education and travel.

The housing market is at a transformational stress point, and this appears to cause builders to start building smaller, more moderate, less luxury homes.

Airlines are stressed, except for people traveling within the country to visit family.

Investments seem strongest in blue chip stocks or government bonds. The very end of September and the first few days of October could bring some issues with the stock market, so this is a time to be more cautious there.

Though there is still stress in the nation, and the President continues to struggle for change in the military, employment and health care; the year seems to end with more people working and saving, and overall we appear to be in a wiser, more stable state than when 2011 began.

The Economy - Tax Cut - Vermont Senator Sanders

As we enter this holiday season, wishing it to be filled with delight and joy for all the children in the world, our nation struggles with economic disaster. At this time when so many are spending their savings on Christmas gifts, our Congress continues to consider tax cuts for the wealthy, and even the option of ending estate taxes, which effect only the tiniest wealthiest percent of America.

Consider the abyss that is being created between the haves and the have-nots.

How many people do you know who have lost their homes?
How many have declared bankruptcy, or are unemployed and just hanging on? 

Consider what happens to counties, as the middle class suburbs become filled with vacant repossessed houses, and property taxes that had been paid to maintain fire and police departments disappear from the tax rolls. 

Now recall the events of the French Revolution and you will recognize that our nation's astrology charts are following a similar trend. (I have been speaking about this for over a decade.)

Is it all in the stars? Or is it at our disposal to choose this outcome?

Because all development of consciousness is a spiral, we know the events that now take place can have a more uplifting and balanced outcome.  

Let us all ask the question: "What do I need to do to help America step into a revolution of government without bloodshed or riot." 

We shall have the answer. We can do this together. You must know and trust that everything that comes into your life will be a benefit for you and others.  Once a person makes a commitment, Spirit brings them the means to achieve it. 

I want to share this wonderful speech by the Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. The State whose motto is: "Freedom and Unity."

This soul is actively working to enlighten people, and avert national disaster and the possible civil war, which gathers on the horizon as the Middle Class continues to evaporate. Listen and take heart. Many are doing their part, let us unite and grow the numbers for peaceful change. It is desperately needed. We can no longer say I am safe behind my wall, we must recognize we are a nation of many and the truth is in this saying: "It takes a tribe." 

So for the many who are rich that are helping with this change (and there are many!) Let us say thank you. And each of us can do our part, from giving food to the homeless and the shelters, to speaking out at county meetings and enlightening those around us that we must invest in America if we are to continue as a nation whole and successful. 

The Moon's Cycle & U.S. Elections - Astrology Connects The Dots

In a recent note from friends, I realized I have not spoken on the influence of the Full and New Moons on elections in the USA.

Because of Friday's full moon at the critical degree of 29 Aries, my friends had asked if it had an effect on me. I am certain if you are a light-bearer, or even lightly conscious, you felt some of the anger and aggressive energy of this moon.

Twenty-Nine degrees is considered a critical degree in astrology, and even in numerology. It is the degree that says, get it right now before you are allowed to take the next step of a new energy field. To have a full moon fall at this degree is rare. (1 in 30 for a specific sign, and 1 in 360 for all twelve signs) So as we roll the cosmic dice, we see how this time in our creative universe is perfect for a critical moon in Aries.

As our solar system approaches the galactic center, all frequencies increase, and we must clear out the old ways and open to a new level of love.

Aries is the constellation that started it all. It is the beginning of the zodiac and represents the moment that, that ball of fire settled into an orbit around this sun, to become planet earth. It is a sign of new beginnings with the innocence of consciousness. Like children, the Aries consciousness can be aggressive and selfish. It considers only its needs and does not consider consequences before taking action.

The Full Moon in Aries at the critical degree of 29 excited this type of emotional response around the planet. It inflamed personal wants without considering others.

So I am certain if you reflect on how you felt yesterday, Oct. 22, 2010, you may find feelings of anger within or without you. The fact that in the Western Hemisphere, this took place on October 22 also carries significance because 22 is a master number noting that we must master the issues of the day, take control and bring balance, harmony and cooperation to the table.

So as we look at the upcoming national elections, does this have some significance?

Well, let's take a little stroll through history before answering that question.

The presidential election of 2010 took place under a new moon in Scorpio.

New moons bring in new beginnings and accentuate a new energy flow. In Scorpio there is an added statement of transformation of power. This moon signaled a transformation of our election process, a new wave of power and when you look at it, you can see how this has manifest been manifesting.

President Barack O'Bama is the first person ever elected through a poor people's process. It was the aggregate monies of small contributions coming through new marketing strategies of social networking that put him over the edge. On another level, more obvious, he is the first African-American to be elected president.

President John F. Kennedy was elected on November 8, 1960 under the influence of the October 31st full moon in Aries, like the one we had last night.  October 31, is not a master number moon, but the foreboding number 31, which is a four, indicating a control situation that might be fulfilled by aggression, violence and selfish unconscious issues.

Please note that nearly every election in this country takes place under either the full moon in Aries or Taurus or the new moon in Scorpio, because this is the time of year of these moons.

(If you have never considered how the moon moves through the constellations, here is a simple look. Each month the new moon is in the constellation you usually associate with that month, and the full moon will be in the sign exactly opposite. This varies slightly because the months are not really aligned with the constellations, but that is a way to ball park it.) 


However, some people become president as a result of the death of the current president, so their day of  'election' is the day they take office. So some presidents may come under any moon.

Lyndon B. Johnson, became president on November 22, 1963, a master number day, and under the new moon in Scorpio of November 15, 1963. The twenty two day of his inauguration signified mastering issues of power, death, transformation, shared resources, taxation and the presidential cabinet. He started in office under the veil of a transformation, the death of President Kennedy. As Johnson took office, Americans were crying publicly over the loss of Kennedy, and anguish spread across this nation. President Johnson, one of the most under-publicized presidents, fulfilled the promise of this new master moon in Scorpio. Here is a quote about him from Wikipedia:

"...President, (Johnson) was responsible for designing the "Great Society" legislation that included laws that upheld civil rights, Public Broadcasting, Medicare, Medicaid, environmental protection, aid to education, and his "War on Poverty." He was renowned for his domineering personality and the "Johnson treatment," his coercion of powerful politicians in order to advance legislation."

All of the statements above confirm the promise of a master new moon in Scorpio.

Let us look yet, at another presidential election.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected on November 8, 1932 under the new moon in Scorpio of October 29, 1932.  Fascinating that the number 29 has a two fold significance, it is a critical number, and also a master number because it becomes an eleven when you add the digits together. The eleven is a master communicator, insightful, intuitive dreamer. FDR used a weekly radio talk, called his "Fireside Chat" to connect with the nation. He was the first, and as far as I know, the only President to use such a technique.

These numbers truly speak to his presidency because his election took place at one of the most critical times in our nation's history, and he masterfully communicated through airwaves and on paper. Here is a bit about his election from Wikipedia:

"The United States presidential election of 1932 took place as the effects of the 1929 Wall Street Crash and the Great Depression were being felt intensely across the country." 

During his presidency, FDR, would start what he called the New Deal, which included numerous programs to offer relief for the unemployed, help recover a failing economy, and would regulate the banking industry, Wall Street and transportation.

I will take you through one more election, then come back to present day.

Stop here for a second and consider the facts you have read thus far, and see if you can guess the date and kind of moon that set the stage for the election of Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln was elected on November 6, 1860, one hundred years before Kennedy, and both presidents were assassinated. Abraham Lincoln's election came under the influence of the full moon in Taurus of October 29, 1860. Once more we see the critical number of 29, and of course it carries the same influences seen above with FDR: critical time, master communicator. But here the sign is not in that of Scorpionic transformation, but in the fixed earth sign of values, income and possession: Taurus.

Abraham Lincoln's presidency would focus on the moral values of a nation and what rights a man has to possess or own another. This president would use the South's need for income to hold the country together by mandating all trading stop with the South.

Lincoln came to office as the nation was debating slavery. He was a great debater, and opposed the expansion of slavery. His presidency would revolve around the Civil War, and the issue of slavery. He  inflamed the argument by signing the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed only the slaves in Confederate States that did not return to Union control. This critical act of war would light the way to abolish slavery in America.

So what about this upcoming election, and the next presidential election? What can be told by the moons influence.

Under Friday's full moon in Aries at 29 degrees, remember this occurred on October 22, we will see an election engaged in an aggressive fight that critically calls for mastering balance and fairness. Those elected may be masters of the bi-partisan tongue. They will make breakthroughs and strike a cord with the original dreams of this nation.

The next presidential election will be held November 6, 2012, and will fall under the full moon of October 29, 2012 in the sign of Taurus. Do you see the similarities between this election date and the election of Abraham Lincoln?

I could go into a discussion of how the United States Chart has been following along the path of the charts that led to the French Revolution, but I will save that for some other time.

Instead, I will leave you with this. America is on the brink of choosing (the number six) its moral path again. What do we value? What do we hold dear and how will we align our income and possessions with our values? Shall we once more engage in a Civil War? Yes, it is increasingly possible.

As we have allowed our legislators to be controlled by monetary factions instead of the conscience of their constituency, we are collapsing the income stream of the middle class, and dividing America into a nation of rich and poor.

We have two years to work on this, to achieve some balance. But based on all the statistics, the affluence of the middle class is nearly gone and what is holding on has been propped in place. We have nothing but our word backing our currency, so the day may not be far off when others call the bluff, If that happens, and it takes wheelbarrows of dollars to buy milk; division will turn to revolution.

I know that's a lot to consider, but let me add some good news.

We are all in this propped up earth zone together. It is an international house of monetary and greed-directed cards that is about to implode, so in that is the key.

Values are escalating far beyond your tribe this time. They are approaching the solar system. As we activate frequencies in alignment with the galactic center, we must join the eco-system of the galaxy. We must love, cooperate and find solutions where we have never looked before - inside ourselves.

Practice love and you will see the light in this ever-darkening international tunnel.

Healing, Frequencies, The Body Electric & The Grid

It is time for human beings to stop all the ego-centric mind games and start accepting their power. We are creators of our universe and in sequence with the creative work of all our relations in every life form from mineral to galaxy.

It is time to accept our power and stand up and recognize we are participating in creation and not subservient to some unknown God or demon.

Whether we are concerned with simple issues of love, money and shelter; or international issues of war, greed and dominance; we now must recognize we are the power and the magic in our own creation.

We are not flesh and blood, we use flesh and blood to manipulate the physical reality. We must now come to the realization of who and what we are.

We are frequency, conscious moving particles self directed, animated, creative, individuated and eternally connected to all creation. The frequency we are is dependent on who we align ourselves through thought or directive. From within we have the greatest power to choose our alignment. From without, we allow others to choose for us and thus our power seems powerless because we forfeit it to another.

From television to drugs, from societal agreements to national directives, we allow others to direct our creation.

So we come into an incarnation (into the meat of physical form) masked from our own identity and reliant on the guidance of maternal, paternal, societal and cultural directives to tell us who and what we are. All the while we are directing from behind the curtain of our own minds.

Our subconscious mind holds the information that we have carried through all incarnations and to the origin of our entry to this ever-expanding universe.

Because we are now approaching alignment with the heart of this galaxy, the galactic center, we must re-awaken to the truth of creation.

The movement of this solar system is a spiral action that slowly travels upward into a greater expanding window as it once more passes through the central energy zone or heart. Here we activate a quickening of the frequency, a clearing of creative energy whereby we enter a new gateway or chakra zone.

As we pass this level we come to a new outlook, a greater understanding of our alignment with creation.

Our DNA activates. That is to say, not just human DNA, but planetary, as well as the DNA of every life form in this solar system.

We must meet this frequency in order to pass through this new gateway. Certainly there is variable but many people on this planet currently are so far from the frequency we are aligning to that they will not be able to pass through it. So they will follow the shadow of this planet into a different vibratory dimension, one more suited to where we have been.

The directive for alignment is love. Leave the battlefields of life behind. Put down your thoughts and ideas of weapons made by mental processes. Open all of your frequencies to love all life, forgive all life, be grateful for all life and you will discover your own divinity.

All that has held you back from health, wisdom and joy are the limitations of fear developed through mental and physical games of war, greed and dominance.

Love it the creative power that when activated will drive a vibration so strong and a pitch so high that no level of anger, hatred or greed can bare to be close to it without sucombing or dying.

Look with love on all things. Spare no one or thing this glance of love and you shall be whole.

  

Ebooks, Future of Publishing & The Grid

I received this question in an email this morning:

This tribute to 13 Americans is being published on paper and as an e-book. Do you think e-books work for kids?

Knopf to Publish Picture Book from President Obama

Source: publishersweekly.com

This is what I see...

I believe as we move into the next generation, ebooks will be the way all kids read.

Yes, that is between 10 and 20 years from now, but as the phone becomes the portable computer and it begins to be the ebook reader - I see all of these tools merging in the future. Children will no longer carry big back packs to school, they will carry their computer/phone/reader (their CPR)

Today many children in North America, Europe, Australia, Japan, India, and China are using kindles for their books. That is going to increase exponentially each year because it is far cheaper to buy textbooks for kindle and so much easier to access them. There is no question that this is the way of the future.

Do you realize that there is a debate going on in the schools today to drop cursive writing because there is no longer a need to write!

Okay, for those as old as I am, this may feel awful, but so does the thought that future generations will find paper books in antiquarian bookstores only.

The world is spinning forward and in the next 50 years, we will be tapping into the grid of information without the blocks of time. It is a step beyond the internet, far beyond it.

The internet has laid out the grid in plain terms for everyone to see. Now we need to jump into the understanding that we are part of it. Not just through a computer but through our very being - our frequency, our consciousness, quite literally who we are. I am not referring to your body or personality, but who you are.

Every living thing is part of the grid! Trees, bees, man, dog, dolphin, eagle, earth, water droplet, sand, mountain, Saturn, Sun, all of us are divine energy. We all have consciousness, some more active than others. But all of us participate in the integrated web of creation.

Listen to this program where I speak with Dr. Bryan Oulette on the grid. It should help you see the bigger picture.
