Thursday, July 22, 2010  Bearing Down

"We're in the thick of it" is what the unseens said the other day while I was frantically trying to balance myself in the shrinking space between electrocutions.  While on some I level I felt semi-relieved to hear those words, the smaller, less reverent, and definitely-more-frustrated-part of me couldn't hold back a "yeah, no shit."

I mean come on...these transitions are far from subtle and we can all feel the thick of it...but what we are all violently screaming to know is: where will we land and whennnnnn?

And here's what those voices in my head said:  there are two major portals left to walk through...one arising at the end of this month and one in the beginning of August.

These two major gateways are purportedly bringing us in deeper harmony with the "master creator within"..."the reconnection of your inherent creational powers will come forth through these gateways and in doing so, the next level of transformation and resurrection of physicality will commence."

If you've been on this journey long enough, than no doubt you have been stripped down to either complete apathy or cynicism...or both...but either way you should have enough wits about you to realize that those words above are always much prettier than the physical reality we will most likely experience....so consider this fair warning that though we are close, we are still climbing...and if it's not obvious, I despise that fact more than you do.

Here's what I am being shown... and please bear with me as I try to find clarity amidst generous amounts of vertigo and fatigue:

In the coming 2 weeks, there are magnanimous energies flowing toward earth as if some miraculous force of God is landing to ressurect the planet and her people.  This energy, which culminates in the full expression of major planetary bodies will directly and indirectly energize all forms of matter to step further into the realm of oneness.

Unless you live under a rock...which I guess accounts for most of us...you have most definitely caught wind of the astrological foreboding emanating from astrologers and metaphysicians in relation to the cardinal T-Square alignment involving Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto-a rare alignment and profoundly suggesting societal and socio-economic transformation.   

Well, according to the Pleidians, July 26  is one of those major portal days when Saturn opposition Uranus becomes exact, which also incidentally falls on the first day of the 13 Moon Calendar-Mayan New Year and directly following the full moon in Aquarius on July 25-26.

Then, soon after, on August 6-7ish a cardinal grand cross is activated between Jupiter-Uranus, Pluto, the Moon and Saturn-Mars-Venus...and, if all that weren't enough, the Lions gate opening directly follows on August 8th.

Now I am no astrologer...and barely know what any of that means... but it sounds & feels like some big forward moving stuff.  Truthfully, I am hearing that these astrological events will be especially impacting on the outer world, but we are experienced enough to know that we will also need to anchor and stabilize these energies within ourselves as well.

Luckily, I am also hearing that for those who have cleared the bulk of their karmic-goo... peace of mind will accompany this passage of great change.


Collective Rebirth

No doubt we are smack dab in the middle of birthing a new reality....and it hurts like hell...but I am told that the contractions over the next two weeks of labor are the impetus for grand physical restructuring by which we will merge into deeper union between spirit and matter and which will initiate a restructuring of all physical bodies of matter, including the planetary body.  This usually amounts to upheaval on one level and breakthroughs on another, where some (those aligned with love) are able to climb ahead and others (those still unawakened) will fall deeper into the abyss of cause and effect.

This merging of polarities, which peaks on the 8/8 gateway, results in a deeper realization of our god-self.  As these masculine and feminine energies merge, the left and right hemispheres of the brain unite to form a bridge between worlds and a flow of new-level information streams between physical and spiritual reality where we are able to see and know things we didn't before and which will also give us the insights needed for creative solutions to clean up our messy lives...and as always, just in the nick of time.

As a result of this incoming energy of merging worlds...which, incidentally is already beginning to seep into our personal energy fields...in the next two weeks there will be a resurgence of divine love which the unseens are referring to as "a uniting of your inner-god with your outer-form."

For us to become complete through this transition...to move beyond karmic creation and into resonance creation... requires that we are able to absorb the encoded light quotients cascading down from the great central sun into our pinneal and pituitary glands.  Unfortunately, our physical bodies are recoiling at the thought of downloading ANY more light, so it is imperative to remain neutral to these energies, let them flow through you, and not attach any human thought to their inevitability.


Using Discernment

For those of us who have been working toward the actualization of our divine potential, there is much to be considered during this time... especially as it pertains to our thoughts.  The most influencial aspect of these astrological, solar and galactic forces will be our ability to initiate change...to come unstuck...and to realize our capabilities as co-creators of divine intent...and this begins with the increasingly more powerful energy of thought.

The quarantine that each of us has been protected by over the last several years is beginning to lift which means manifestation is becoming nearly instantaneous... the space between thought and procurement is disintegrating and we are slowly beginning to see signs of this in the physical. (think phone calls...do you really need that caller ID anymore?)  Though sudden miracles are appearing, ironically, this is mostly true for things we don't need right now....but an indication of what's behind this clearing cycle nevertheless.

All in all it is very important that we use discernment and self-responsibility by not giving our power away to fear based thinking... especially during these gateway periods when collective frenetic thoughts moving up and out and are swarming us. You may find that you need to lay low for a bit, stay in a safe space or with friends and loved ones to regain your composure or to steer clear of these energies during transmutation periods.


The End of the End

For the time being, the pressure is definitely still building and we feel all but ready to pop, yet we are still wrapping up much of the past and any old business in need of resolution.   So much to tend to, so little energy.

"The completion of all wayward elements is drawing nigh and there is only a short window of opportunity left to finalize details....arriving in mid-August is an influx of energies that will need space to land...to fill up the vacuous void of your past lives and carve the new potentials for your future."

This preparation period...like the rest of this relentless journey.... seems to go on foreverrrrrrrrr and tho it is all completely necessary to take full advantage of our new beginnings, it is exhausting to try to work within these dense energies of the old paradigm when so much of ourselves is firmly planted in the new.

A perfect example of this in my own life is a seemingly never-ending bankruptcy finalization.  In order to save my home from foreclosure last year, I filed bankruptcy to apply for a much-needed loan modification and restructure.  This was first supposed to be finalized in March, then got adjourned to May, then got adjourned to July and today was just adjourned AGAIN to September.

Even tho I just. want. this. to. be. over. with...I also know in the bigger picture that everything is undergoing a major vibrational upgrade....readjusting, restructuring, and realigning to match the new energies so that when the time comes to fully move forward, everything will be in sync with my our new and completely authentic lives.

This energy of the old with the new pushing through is apparent everywhere right now...important things keep getting postponed, moved ahead...then behind...then ahead again.  Plans (if u can even make any) change at the very last minute, we think we are going one way then suddenly we are not...well aligned opportunities arise and just as quickly, disappear.

Its pure insanity really...yet, many good things do come from these universal adjustments.  For instance, because my bankruptcy kept getting postponed, I was miraculously able to align with the timing of the government equity adjustment plan and my loan...which was $100,000 upside down... qualified for a market value adjustment saving me thousands and thousands of dollars in the end.  This was COMPLETELY unexpected at a time when I had NO IDEA how this situation would resolve itself.   


Moral of the story?  When in doubt, get out of the way. 

So yes, this waiting and uncertainty is the pits, and letting our higher-self take control has been sooooo boring...but I promise it will all be well worth it in the end when we are smooth sailing in our new lives.

Physical Happenings

As usual, purification symptoms abound.  We are still integrating the energies from the recent eclipse period as well as some new symptoms that are arriving from the influx of the next incoming wave.

The most uncomfortable changes seem to still be taking place from eclipses and are manifesting in the base of the neck/head/shoulder/upper back area with tons of pressure that can feel like your skull bones are fusing together.  I actually said in a recent post on the TWYH forum that I felt like Neo being plugged into the new matrix through the base of my skull.  The jaw (TMJ), teeth, ears, throat and gums are all healing from this intense download in a major way so you may be having all sorts of related issues in these areas.  But that certainly doesn't mean we are relieved of all the other symptoms like heartburn, middle back pain, nausea, intestinal discomfort, etc...no siree Bob...they just get piled on top and counted as bonus symptoms.

Also, the Cancer/Capricorn eclipses were challenging all of us at the base levels of financial security and physical safety which kicked up TONS of fear and stress around mortality and financial failure.

You know that stress I am talking about...the kind that keeps your jaws clenched when you're not paying attention and makes everything in life seem impossible.  This was evident everywhere and in everyone (even if you don't have financial challenges) during that potent portal period, and the physical body really took a toll.  Insomnia, restlessness, jitters, vague anxiety, soreness in muscles, cold sweats, rapid heartbeat, palpitations, etc.

And now we have the lunar energy of the full moon on Sunday coming at us and kicking up increasing levels of anxiety coupled with the solar energy of the Lions gate piercing our pituitary/pineal glands as they attempt to merge in sacred union, so the usual Leo sun sinus/allergy-type symptoms are slowly creeping in.

The pituitary/pineal glands govern a lot of bodily functions and hormones including body temperature and sleep, so this is some unfun stuff....these detox symptoms vary in intensity and can include hay fever type symptoms, feeling really cold, then hot...sometimes with sweating, vertigo, dizziness, unsteadiness, feeling spaced-out, deep fatigue, sinus congestion & pressure, itchy-watery eyes, sore/dry throat, congested ears, headaches, etc.

If you are challenged by these symptoms (or any others), self-nurturing will obviously still be required as is the need to rest and ground these powerful surges of energy into our lives and bodies for a bit longer.


What's left?

The Cardinal Climax is a configuration of five-to-six planets that are all in a major challenge to each other. This is Mars and Saturn both at 0 degrees Libra, opposite Uranus and Jupiter at 0 and 3 degrees Aries, all square to Pluto at 3 degrees Capricorn. On July 30th, the Moon comes along and enters the party at 0 degrees Aries. And Mars opposes Uranus (volatile!). For this reason, July 30th is often noted as a highly volatile date for this Cardinal Climax.

These 5-6 planets have only one idea in mind: Action: Change!

These energies include revolutionary energies (Uranus square Pluto), major structural transformations (Saturn square Pluto), war or breakthrough energies (Mars opposite Uranus), and major changes in motivations (Mars square Pluto). In addition, there are also big power plays (Jupiter square Pluto), and responsibilities that must be handled (Jupiter opposite Saturn). Someone is also restraining those who want to go to war (Mars conjunct Saturn). Will it work? Let's hope so.

You're also likely to find yourself attempting to do too much with too little time, money and energy (Mars opposite Jupiter). If you can take actions based on choices from your heart though, these actions will later be considered "fortunate actions" that bring you growth opportunities downstream.

Three-to-four of these five - six planets are at 0 degrees of either Aries or Libra. This is a very unusual and powerful line-up, since that degree is the most potent degree in the zodiac. This ratchets up the speed and intensity of the changes. No more fence-sitting is allowed. You must choose.

What will you be forced to choose?

1) The future you want to live.

2) The structures you want to use to create that future.

3) The principles that form the foundation of your future.

This is why it's important to choose this future from your heart and not your head. This is the time to emulate the path that our Founding Fathers took when they signed the Declaration of Independence. They made that choice with their hearts, not their heads, because it was treason to do so. But because they made that choice, an entirely new form of government was birthed. What will you create with your choices?

To say the least, this is a tumultuous period with many changes occurring at once. Apparently it's what needed to break up old structures that are stagnant and preventing the needed new structures from emerging.

Growth Opportunities Shake Out!

In spite of the many challenges that occur in this time period, there are some amazingly wonderful, unexpected growth opportunities that shake out from the changes (Sun in Leo, trine Jupiter and Uranus in Aries). This is what's needed to breathe new life into many situations which were stagnant. These high growth opportunities begin on July 21st, peak between July 23rd - 26th and stay in range through August 1st.

Just as this is happening though, Jupiter, the planet that represents growth, starts moving backwards. This is our indication that it's time for us to grow internally, instead of externally. In a business, this is normally associated with planning new products or services, creating new promotions, or training new sales people. Jupiter retrogrades from July 23 until November 18th. Since this is happening just as these new growth opportunities appear, they'll need some development time. It could take until late January or February for the new opportunities to be ready and in some cases mid-March.

On a personal level, during this period, you may be taking training or classes, traveling, or following a path of internal development. After this is over, you'll be ready to expand to your next personal, growth opportunity.

Communications Too

In addition, peaking on July 26th, we have a cycle that's challenging for communications (Mercury opposite Neptune). The details are usually lost, wrong, or mis-spoken, making it quite a challenge to create the right solution in the midst of chaos. Deception or misleading communications are also possible with this cycle. This cycle comes into range on July 21st and stays in range through July 30th.

Fortunately, we also get another cycle related to deep, penetrating insights that get to the bottom of the matter (Mercury trine Pluto). This cycle is helpful for resolving the issues and changes at hand, since it can see beyond what someone presents. This cycle comes into range on July 26th and peaks on July 30th. It stays in range through August 4th.

Are You Prepared for Earth Changes?

These Cardinal Climax energies are very challenging and can indicate earth changes and radical weather. This is especially true of the Saturn opposite Uranus cycle. Remember that even if you live in an area of the country that doesn't typically experience earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes or major fires, these energies can also be associated with major solar flares that could take out the power grid for a few weeks.

If you have not already done so, it's highly recommended that you responsibly prepare for emergency situations as soon as possible. It won't hurt to have some extra food that doesn't need cooking on hand, along with extra water, first aid supplies, flashlights and batteries, pet supplies, prescriptions and TP. Just buy a little extra of any product you use regularly.

August: More Tension

The Cardinal Cross: August 60inh

We start August with Blue Communications, a period (August 1st - August 19th) when we're much more likely to make mistakes. So it really behooves us to slow down and double check all details during this period. Otherwise we'll probably have to fix them after Mercury retrograde starts on August 20th. Be efficient and catch those mistakes before they leave your door! They'll cost less to fix then too.

This is especially important in light of our intense energies during this period. It will be easy to make mistakes with so much happening at once during this period. So discipline yourself to really LOOK at those details before you send them out the door, in an email, etc.

Intense Power Issues August 3rd - 4th

August literally starts off with a bang! You may see explosive issues in the news, which are related to intense power issues. (Mars opposite Uranus and Jupiter, with Jupiter square Pluto) In order to resolve these issues, the motivations behind them must be transformed (Mars square Pluto).

This is one period when the Middle East could heat up intensely. It will take a lot of prayers and strong leadership to keep this area from escalating into war, but it can definitely be done. These issues come into range on July 29th, peak on August 3rd and 4th, and stay in range through August 13th.

In your own work, you're likely to see heated debates and power struggles. Violence and anger are also commonly associated with these energies. Be sure you have ways to cool things down at the office (water, popsicles, ice cream, rubber chickens, and other laughable items).

The Cardinal Cross: August 6th - 7th

This summer started with a Cardinal Cross for the Summer Solstice (June 21st) and the June Lunar Eclipse (June 26th). Now at this time we get another one on August 6th - 7th. In astrology these are known as grand square configurations, where at least 4 planets are square and opposite each other. On August 6th - 7th, the Moon in Cancer and Venus in Libra come into the cross, so we have seven planets in nineteen challenging cycles to each other -- a LOT! The tension from these energies can be overwhelming.

These challenging cycles are all in cardinal signs again (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn), suggesting a huge amount of fast action and changes. These signs initiate actions quickly and they're unlikely to sit around while a committee thinks about things for awhile. Consequently, they may take out their swords and use them before they ask too many questions.

This period brings Venus into the situation for the first time. This is when money and debt issues come to the forefront. We're likely to discover some pretty uncomfortable financial surprises at this time. Even the US chart is under considerable financial stress during this period. Don't be surprised if some of the euro countries decide to default on their debt. As much as I hate to admit this, it's probably a lot more practical for some of those countries to do so.

After this period is over, we will have had every planet involved in one Cardinal Cross or another, except Neptune! Only one out of ten planets doesn't get involved in this mess. Neptune is the planet that represents spirituality, inspiration, and compassion. It's the one that transcends our ordinary reality to a higher dimension. It's an interesting commentary that it's the only planet that doesn't get involved in these changes.
