Uncharted Terrain
“The future of the universe is not completely determined by the laws of science. God still has a few tricks up his sleeve.” - Stephen Hawking How are you feeling in this year of big changes, the much-anticipated 2012? Is it going the way you thought it would? May and June promise more sudden turns and surprises. I’ve been astro-publishing since 1999, and I’ve never seen astrology quite like the cosmic line-up of 2012. This weekend the Sun and Moon meet in a transcendent solar eclipse that will be...

What would life be without contrast? Day and night. Happy, sad. Youth, age. Yin and yang. Beginning. End. Darkness. Light. Epiphany. Solar and lunar cycles dovetail engagingly this week as Beltane culminates in the Wesak Full Moon on Saturday. In the northern hemisphere, days grow longer, leading into the Summer Solstice just six weeks away. Farmers ready the soil for planting. South of the equator, light recedes. Eclipse season arrives with the next new moon. Within this weaving of time, I notice the play of shadow and light. Sometimes the...

Feel yourself being quietly drawn by the deeper pull of what you truly love - Rumi Are you restless or anxious, aware that something big is about to happen but unsure what it is? You’re not alone. Uncertainty seems to be the new normal. I’ve been studying the astrology of 2012 for a long time now, and I understand one thing. Much will be revealed over the course of the next 10 weeks. The passages of May and June are a feast for the senses: Beltane (Samhain in the southern hemisphere) cross-quarter gateway –...
read moreSupermoons and Mastery
“The human race is challenged more than ever before to demonstrate our mastery - not over nature but of ourselves.” - Rachel Carson This weekend’s full moon marks a turning point. Spiritual energies flowing through the lunar gateways in April and May culiminate in a series of breathtaking planetary alignments in June. Along the way, we’ll enjoy three consecutive supermoons that coincide with the three major festivals of esoteric tradition. These are the Festival of the Christ (April 6), Festival of the Buddha...

Is not a kiss the very autograph of love? ~ Henry Finck Here, where ages meet, weaving tendrils of time, a pause. A kiss. Infinity. These nights, if the sky is clear, you’ll witness the sacred dance of celestial lovers. Venus and Jupiter reign in the west after sunset. They draw closer together each night through mid-March. In the east, Mars holds court. Their invisible partner, Pluto, cavorts in the distance. Together, these planets form a rare and auspicious grand trine, a majestic prelude to the more intense, chaotic energies...

What an altered reality check 2012 is turning out to be. I remember having brunch in Sedona, Arizona, on New Year’s Day 2012 with two of my favorite soul brothers – Mongolian shaman Jade Wah’oo and shamanic astrologer Sao. As the sun shone brightly in a crystal-blue sky, we savored the sensual delights of a marvelous meal and conversation, a warm breeze dancing on our bare arms in the middle of winter. We chatted about the potential and possibilities of this pivotal year, including the astrology (of course), the...

Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life… Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the spring. - William Alexander Spring beckons. Nearly imperceptible at this time of year, the slow turning of the seasons quietly promises rebirth. I linger beneath heavy blankets these mornings as dawn comes a moment or two earlier each day. We’re leaning into an awakening in March when the Sun crosses the threshold into Aries and a zodiacal new year begins. This spring, a host of cosmic...

Can you feel it? Creativity and ingenuity are really flowing with today’s full moon. The Sun in Aquarius opposing the Moon in Leo sparks creativity in service to the collective. The power of the individual strengthens the solidarity of the group, and vice versa. 2012 is such an amazing time to be alive. Not only are the rules changing radically day by day, the game itself is constantly in flux. Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, inspires solutions to the challenges we face individually and as a people. If you’re in touch with your inner...

“No one can get any higher than anyone else. No one’s better than the others, more spiritual. We all go together. It starts with each of us taking responsibility for the planet.” ~ Jose Arguelles So here we are. Like a much-anticipated visit from a beloved friend, it seems like it took 2012 forever to get here. And now it’s flying by. I’m in awe of the transformation within and around all of the amazing beings I’m privileged to know and serve in this lifetime journey. It’s inspiring to see so many people...
read moreStillpoint
Solstice. Stillpoint. Night of creation. Ancient memories echo from the depths of this vast womb. Listening, silence fills the soul. Heartbeat of the Mother, felt, not heard. This is home. In the pre-dawn hush of Solstice morning, I dream of a new beginning. For humanity, for the Earth, for each of us. Gathering with family and friends somehow carries more weight, more meaning, this holiday season. Beyond the prophecies and predictions, 2012 will be a significant turning point for us as individuals, and for society. By now it’s...
