This coming week has planetary movements that energetically will orient us in two opposing directions.
On the one hand, the Scorpio Full Moon last week pretty much brought an intense climax and end to Spring Eclipse Season 2014. And of course the Cardinal Grand Cross played a huge role in making that Eclipse Season extremely intense and one to be remembered for a long time. But now as we begin to leave that Eclipse Season, we also enter the waning slow-down half of the lunar cycle.
It is time to come down and look at what has been left to us in the wake of that Eclipse Season. We have entered a new chapter of our lives, have moved more fully into honoring our truth and the authentic soul’s path we are on. Events have shown us the way into letting go of the old chapter of our lives, letting go of old patterns of thought and behavior that are not in alignment with this new chapter of life we have entered.
We are coming down into our souls and bodies for healing, after the buzz of intensity that spiked us forward in our personal soul evolution. Hence we are ready to now reflect on what has happened and to gain some perspective and insight on where are lives are at now.
This could be a rather sobering time for some, facing up to realities or practical assessments of our life.
But yet the other counter energy on our doorstep is Mars going Direct late this Monday May 19. That means we are feeling a force that makes us feel we are ready to move forward, to own this new chapter of our lives, to find ways to make our life work in all new ways.
We are closer to knowing what we want and where we are going as Mars is going Direct. We may not know exactly what we are doing yet, but at least we sense the path we want to walk on in this new chapter of our lives.
In the greater world, everything has now been put in place for huge life altering events coming soon.
Russia and China are flexing their nationalistic muscles, wanting more power in the world. Russia has annexed Crimea from Ukraine and seems to have designs on bringing back some of the glory from their Soviet Union days.
China has territorial conflicts with Japan, Phillipines, Viet Nam and other countries, and recently has made aggressive movements, asserting their formidable power.
India has elected a new prime minister, one who does not seem to care about making relationship with the USA or western powers. Iran is at a turning point in its relationships with world powers. There is a possible deal to be made around their nuclear program, and if not there is likely military conflict on the way.
The Palestinians have become more whole as Hamas has made a pact with more moderate Palestinian political powers, and are getting further away from making peace with Israel. Big conflicts are likely coming soon.
North Korea is said to be about to launch another missile, in defiance of the UN and world powers.
Syria is still in civil war, and Ukraine is breaking apart. The world is on the verge of great transformation, a restructuring of power, moving into a multi-polar world.
Empires and Superpowers will become a reality of the past, and a more equitable Diversity in Unity world is developing. That means a wholeness is needed that holds the differences together as one. And Male and Female can be held as one, like a yin/yang symbol.
Women are becoming more powerful, and are doing so by claiming their feminine Power, moving away from a more male form of gaining their power.
’60s feminism got the ball rolling for women gaining more self respect, but the new generations of women are realizing that playing the man’s game out in the world did not bring them to true Feminine power.
Now many are wanting to change the world into one with more “femininity’, more love and compassion, more true honoring of Female and Female Power.
There has been a programming in our psyches that Female and Female ways are weak. There is programming that has sought to demean vulnerability and has sought to make fun of spirituality and a more feminine sense of what that means.
If it is not “logical” and proven by scientific methods, or is not in tune with a male God of religion, then it is put down- by both men and women.
The Feminine is needed in our world, so we are not just answering to a dog eat dog, logic driven, competitive paradigm.
And of course the true Masculine needs a revival, as we need a force of courage to speak the truth, to stand up for what we believe in and know is right. We need to learn how to be true to our authentic selves, not what authority or convention tells us to be.
And most of all we need to bring the masculine and feminine sides of nature into loving balance and relationship, working together and not in battle with one another.
And our LGBT community has been gaining more acceptance and respect. Just recently the macho dominated sports world has had people coming out as Gay, like in the NFL and NBA.
And we have a President who is half African American, and a country less tolerant of bigotry as was seen in the backlash against Clive Bundy and the president of the Los Angeles Clippers basketball team.
We as a collective human community are seeing more clearly the path into an Age of Aquarius, especially so after this Eclipse Season.
But keep in mind that the forces that want to keep the old ways and old age in power are still strong. And there are many explosive events coming our way, events that will break down that which is blocking the path forward.
Be ready for events that will include violent conflicts in the world and for financial realities to shift and change. When they do it will seem like we are going backwards and making no progress. Please remember then that it is part of the transformational process of clearing our old patterns, old beliefs, old ways of being.
We can see where we are going now, and the Age of Aquarius is in sight. But get ready for the next 18 months or so to be intense with both world and personal events that will be a part of the transformation and healing needed to bring us to our New World.
This week on the 19th, Mars goes Direct and we move forward. Then the Sun moves into mercurial Gemini the next day May 20, to add more positive energy to our lives, energy that is mentally bright and seeking to communicate.
It begins a month that is good for learning and educating, for light social activities, for gaining new information and delivering information, for asking questions and answering questions, for diverse activities and much mental activity. Be careful not to be overwhelmed or too scattered, and remember to stay grounded with all the mental activity going through you.
See you next week,
Leo
