THE PATH OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - PART 1

Moving forward, we travel along our life’s path periodically experiencing some fantastic, awe inspiring events along the way.  We are encouraged to veer from the well trodden path to cut a trail where few seemed to have ventured.  At least this is how it feels. 

The venture seems new and exciting.  As we move forward we begin to see just how warn the path actually is.  Many have traveled this path ahead of us.  The course of our path has been prepared for us and if we look closely we will come to realize that many walk beside us.

 

Imagine a flow of people venturing down this meandering path.  There are many twists and turns.  It is a path highlighted in places by our life-giving sun, filled with hills and valleys and bountiful foliage on all sides.  Some valleys have deep crevices and some hills rise up to become great mountains.  Somehow, we are not intimidated by these things that stand in front of us.  We may experience flashes of fear but faith reassures us that we will persevere and conquer the route that this path will provide. 

As we move deep into the forests, we notice that the mountains and valleys are not near as steep as they first appeared.  It is as thought the path shifts as we approach to make the travel easier for us.  Although the well-worn path continues forever forward, we are not hesitant or overwhelmed.  We cannot see beyond the next curve in the path but somehow we know that we are moving in the right direction. 

This is so with all things in life.  What can appear insurmountable at first glance becomes far less intimidating as we examine it more closely.  All that is required of us is to take those first steps to conquer anything we are presented with.

 

Our path leads us to enlightenment and our eventual oneness with source.  Never fear losing your way or wandering off course for when we feel we have veered off course, we actually are experiencing part of our journey.  We may lose sight of the path from time to time but if we keep putting one foot in front of the other, it will eventually reappear exactly where it should be.  Wherever we find ourselves is not by change.  Our timing is always impeccable and we are exactly where we should be on our journey.

CURRENT TRANSITING JUPITER & NORTH NODE CONJUNCTION

Transiting Jupiter has been in aspect to the North Node (NN) since December of 2015 and will remain in conjunction until July of 2016.  The intensity does back off somewhat from March to May of this year. 

The most intense period would have been January and February, 2016, when they were in the 22-23 degree range in Virgo, but they will once again gain in intensity in mid-June when they will be at 15-16 degrees in Virgo.  This will be the final connection.

This is a positive aspect particularly if you have any planetary links or if your Ascendant, DC, MC or IC are in the specific degrees mentioned above.  The more planets in these areas and the more any significant areas in your chart make contact (defined by the ASC, DC, MC AND IC) the greater the impact Jupiter and the NN will have in your life.  Check to see which house this conjunction is in as well as any natal houses that carry planetary links to get an idea of what areas of life will be affected.

The NN (north node) has to do with our destined path, our life’s course and represents what we have come to do in this life.  In transit, it often indicative of the turning points and indicates the direction of the conjunction energy.  With Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good luck, there may be opportunities to get a closer glimpse of your intended path in life or what it may be specifically at this point in life.  You may get a gentle push to help steer you in the appropriate direction.

Jupiter will expand the NN potential and provide golden opportunities to make things happen.  With your help, you can be pushed on your way and will receive assistance in identifying at least in part, your life’s objectives in a very positive functioning manner.  With this conjunction being in the sign of Virgo, this may be the time to get organize, to promote yourself and to push forward.  Virgo has a lot to do with service, giving and putting your life in order.  You can now steer your efforts in this direction, eventually turning this energy inward and helping yourself.

Jupiter promotes confidence and has a spiritual link or religious overtones in its energy.  If there is a link in your natal chart between these two points (Jupiter and the NN) these energies are once again activated and the timing is perfect to advance forward with some confidence knowing that you are on the right track.  The natal aspect will indicate if it will be difficult for you to find this course, or if things open up and reveal themselves to you easily.

This aspect should have been posted earlier and we apologize for the delay, but we can now prepare for the final conjunction in June.  The last pass often points towards a clearer idea of where you are meant to go and what path to follow.  Use the remaining time to reflect and build on what you may have started in the beginning of this year and prepare for the outflow of energies in the final pass of this conjunction.

REINCARNATION - FACT OR FICTION?

Most of us understand the concept of reincarnation whether we believe in reincarnation or disbelieve.  It is said by some that upon death we are freed from our earthly vehicles (bodies) and at a later date, not determined by time, we may choose to come back into the physical realm once again.

It is thought that there are lessons that can only be learned through the physical existence and these lessons are so important to our higher self that we choose to experiences a material life in order to grow spiritually and gain further insight. 

It is believed that we can return many times to an earthly existence.  The soul or higher self decides on the best course of action to take when striving to learn.  Our higher self or soul is always present during the material existence and quietly guides us if we care to listen with our hearts.

Some souls, we are told, remaining in their energetic form where they can help and guide those living in the physical realm.  We are also told that some souls utilize all that an earthly life has to offer and complete the need for further earthly existences. 

It is my personal belief that we have come into this existence to expand as a whole and ultimately return to our source as one, but this is a personal knowing and I cannot prove this to others.

There are some that do not believe in reincarnation and this too is a personal choice.  The best any of us can do it stay open and objective to learning more on all life’s subjects.  Being open to anything can expand our knowing, not on just this subject but on any subject.  Being open and waiting for our own personal proof is the best we can do.  We will acquire whatever knowledge is perfect for our specific point in our soul’s development as long as we remain open to all possibilities.  We can only go with what feels right to us personally.

Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, find comfort in the never-ending cycle of life and know that you are a spiritual being living an earthly existence.  Stay open and allow the natural process to unfold.  Life is a magical gift waiting to be experienced.  Enjoy!

SOLAR ECLIPSE MARCH 8 & 9, 2016

SOLAR ECLIPSE MARCH 8 & 9, 2016

8:18 degrees Pisces 56 minutes

There will be a Solar eclipse beginning on March 8 and ending March 9 but will not be visible in most of North America (I believe Alaska is the exception).  The eclipse will be in the sign of Pisces at 18 degrees and 56 minutes.  Anyone having a planet within a 3 degree orb (16-22 degree) in Pisces will be influences by the energies of this eclipse.  If you are not into the technical information on the eclipse you can jump down four paragraphs to read the affects of this eclipse for those that the eclipse makes aspects in their chart.

If you have other planetary aspects that are in this same degree rage in other signs, this will intensify the meaning of the eclipse and its effects on you.  When we speak about other planetary links we are referring to the Opposition, Square, Trine and Sextile as well as the Quincunx.  The minor aspects may have some significance but not to the same degree of the major aspects, unless they have a really tight orb, say within 30-40 minutes.

The more aspects from your birth planets and important positions (Ascendant/Mid-heaven as well as the IC and DC) in these degrees, the stronger the influence from this eclipse.  Any planet forming a Conjunction will be particularly influenced and the aspects these planets receive and the houses they are in will determine how this eclipse will affect you.  The eclipse will last one year for every hour while it is in the eclipse formation. 

Through transit, when the Sun and other planets are in conjunction to this eclipse degree (18 Pisces 56) and when they move into opposition of this degree (18 Virgo 56), their effects will be felt.  The houses as well as the signs and the planetary energies will dictate how this influence will play out.  Remember the influence is determined by the original conjunction to a planet and influential position (ASC, MC, DC, IC, with the MC and ASC being the stronger of the four points) to the eclipse degree.  Without a contact to this degree in the birth chart, the eclipse will have minor influence on our lives.

Now that we have the technical information out of the way, this is a time to raise our awareness and be mindful of any imbalances in our lives.  The planets and areas of life represented by the degree of influence will be areas that we will see transformations taking place and where change is due.  With Neptune ruling this eclipse this may be in areas related to mystical and psychic influences and this may become a clearer area once its impact passes these critical degrees.  Neptune will often cloud things and make them foggy, but direction on a higher level of understanding is usually working behind the scenes, through the subconscious.

The time frame when the eclipse is in effect will actually set the time of the events and inner reflections that correlate with these times in our lives.  As with all important life matters, it will take time to complete the process.  This eclipse has its birth and then finally its demise as the eclipse time lapses.  Neptune is associated with spirituality, the soul’s struggle to make you aware of its earthly purpose and often relates to a connection with the self through spiritual uncovering and the opening of channels to the intuitive faculties, clairvoyant abilities and understanding.  Neptune is known as the Lord of this eclipse and will eventually open doors to truth and bring spiritual understanding usually after times that seem somewhat foggy and unclear.  Much is gained through the subconscious channels of learning and dreams can also be quite revealing.  Neptune’s energy is to dissolve and release what is required to either be figured out or what needs to be brought into your life.

This is a good time to find or discover what lies behind the illusion of life and gain entry into the bigger picture, seeing beneath the surface and opening channels of understanding.  The ensuing outcomes that are forthcoming usually bring more satisfying results as time passes.  This period brings with it a time to gain entry into your psyche, to come to a clearer understanding of the people which will be involved and to any imbalances in your personal life. 

In general most solar eclipses’ energies last an average of 3 ½ years.

INACTION VERSES ACTION

INACTION VERSES ACTION

Are you content with the quality of your life?  There are times in life that everything feels to be moving along smoothly and the ability to move forward requires no effort from us.  Life is good; life is comfortable.  You may even feel that there is no need to strive for more but this is rare with most of us.

Self reflection and inner work can be exhausting and we always welcome a reprieve.  It is during these times that we sometimes become complacent, especially if the reprieve is experienced for an extended period.  Why would we want to push forward when where we are in life is perfect?

Feeling good about our life is a wonderful reflection of how we are looking at life and our level of gratitude.   If we can feel this good with the work that we have done this far, we cannot image the gratitude we will feel as we continue forward peeling back the layers to return to our inner most core. 

We push and strive for there is nothing more beautiful and enriching than getting to the core and connecting with our higher self.  What discovery or realization will we find under the next layer? 

Stop to appreciate the wonderful moments in life.  Smell the roses and enjoy the moment but do not let the calm turn into complacency and complacency turn into stagnation.  

Enlightenment is a perpetual journey.  Stay true to your journey.  Meditate regularly, follow through on that dream, set intentions and continue to manifest even when life is adequate or even better.

Awakening is difficult when we are facing our shadows.  It can be a slow and sometimes monotonous process but it also creates feelings of achievement and contentment along the way.  Do not let the rewards manifest complacency.  Push forward!

THE DAWN OF AWAKENING

Is this life manifested in a dream?  Are we awake and conscious?  Are we living our lives in the present?  Does life as we know it truly come to an end?

Have you ever wondered if life could actually be a dream or dream like existence? 

Where does our subconscious, our spirit, our soul or our mind go when we are in a dream state?  Is that place real?  Is this place real? 

It is probably safe to say that both our conscious and subconscious states are reality for the one experiencing it.  The dream state may be as real as the waking state to our mind to learn lessons and to process information.  Most of us refer to our conscious state as our reality.  If we can alter our life’s course through mental processing, intention and focus and if we can forecast potential futures, what is really going on?  What is the big picture and how much of it do we actually see and understand? 

Many of us are aware that there is much going on beyond our veil.  There are souls, spirits, energies, call them what you will, living beyond our veil.  It is impossible to define as we are only aware of our limited concepts and our belief in the here and now.  Many speak of spirits or ghosts that we can catch glimpses of and others can tell us specifics, that no one else would know, about loved ones that have passed on.

Most of us will experience events that cannot be explained.  Some will experience visions and dreams that warn them of potential dangers.  In dreams some of us have visits from long passed relatives.  Sometimes they even provide us with insight into coming events or assist us in our quest for understanding. 

Many who practice regular meditation have mystical experiences that are not easily defined from a “normal” standpoint.  Sometimes events just cannot be explained. 

If we were to practice meditation regularly and we have learned to quiet the mind, we will experience things that are quiet difficult to understand.  If we listen with faith to these messages, we actually will learn valuable, viable lessons that can be utilized or put into practice in our day to day lives.

There certainly is more to life than meets the eye.  Our awakening will entail a knowing, if you will.  It will be a knowing that does not need validation by anyone else.  Allow the awakening to unfold in your life simply by believing and accepting that the potential is there. 

We can link with our higher consciousness and awaken our latent talents.  Our own consciousness together with our world in general is awakening to the higher energies that exist in this earthly life and beyond.  Why limit our experience by limiting our thinking?
