Cocoon
The New Moon has gently pulled us into the Cocooning energy of Cancer. This is the Zodiac sign that provides us with the means to incarnate as humans into this sometimes harsh world of matter. Our souls are sensitive and we want to feel safe, warm, secure and nurtured.
The next two days are wonderful for gardening and planting veggies and cleaning around the home. The cycles from the new to the Full Moons encourage growth above the surface of the earth. We in the Southern hemisphere feel like hibernating which is our natural response to winter and Cancerian energy.
The larger world that we humans have created bids us pay attention to Tax Returns, work and obligations to Society. It is therefore an excellent time to review how much of our true selves is seeking nurturing, and what is really important in the outer world. Do our relationships feed and nurture our true soul selves? Does our work nurture the world?
The Dalai Llama often spoke of our business interests:
‘Does (what you do) care for your self, family, community, society and the earth? If not, why do it? ’
Seems like common sense.
Cancerian energy also calls us back into the emotive, the experience of feeling and intuitive knowing. So take care, be gentle, and enjoy the feeling of being in body.
Hhhmmmm! Massage time …
No commentsSolstice
We are in the last days of our Earth’s present journey around the Sun. The Solstice marks the point of a new cycle. Here in Down Under, we shall experience the longest night and shortest day on Wednesday 21st June. Ah! Hibernation and time to ponder.
Mars in lining up with Saturn in Leo. This indicates a bit of a shake up of the ’should-have-beens’ and what we have our ‘hearts set’ upon. Focussing upon our Purpose and Plans may help. Saturn holds form for us to enjoy our brief Sojourn in this Mansion world. Mars is likely to inspire us to act upon our plans, or help to clear out what may be no longer useful.
Uranus is stationary and shall move into retrograde motion just prior to the Solstice. This provides us with a few months to review those flashes of inspiration and ideas we have been catching like seed pods wafting in the ethers.
Oh yes, and the Planetary Karmic Node standing guard at zero degrees of Aries before entering Pisces. Yet another indicator that this is a time to make decisions, and to think carefully before we act.
So here it is, the Solstice turn around, and that tedious Tax time… review and restoration.
Warm blessings for the long cold nights.
Many Happy Returns to our lovely little planet.
No commentsFestival of Humanity
The moon is Full. This means the Sun in Gemini is directly opposite the Moon in Sagittarius and shining its Light onto that old reflective surface. This will be exact at 4.04 am. EST in Australia.
This Full Moon is the third of the Shamballa Triplicity, culminating in the flow of energy from Shamballa through the Buddha , to the Christ, to Humanity. It is known as The Festival of Goodwill.
It will be a cold crisp night to be up and viewing the spectacle. But then, we are adventurous humans. For Ozland Soccer fans who are sitting by fires and watching the World Cup, now is a good time to be receptive to this incoming stream of Holy Sprinkles. There IS GoodWill around – close to 2 billion people are united in watching the evolving gladiators in the arenas of Germany, playing a game of skill. Very 7th Ray with teams from all over the world, and the players in those teams, themselves, representing a diversity of cultures, creeds, backgrounds, family lines, values and goals. Yet they are united as we are, in enjoying the human experience: Skill and athletic ability, team work, and active intelligence, all combine. And the chanting and singing – quite beautiful! All for a small round white and black ball. Rather symbolic, hmmm?
May we all receive blessings this night/day wherever we are and whatever we are doing. For we, the people, form the 4th Kingdom on this Planet, and the Third of Shamballa Centres.
We are here, now, simply being human.
Blessed and Blessing Be.

I am currently reading Brainwave, by Poul Anderson. His Science Fiction masterpiece was first published in 1953, that is 53 years ago! Hhhmmmm?
In Poul’s intriguing story, the world is experiencing a sudden quickening. He poses the possibility that we are not so much entering a period of ‘photon belt’ or ‘Golden Age of Light’. Rather, that we are being released from a quarantine restriction that has limited the evolutionary thrust of the human (and other) kingdoms for a long period of time. Presumably this was to enable us to experience evolution slowly, carefully and in full consciousness. Now, we are leading up to Graduation. What a fascinating theory!
Fast forward into our present day, we are experiencing the solar village square dancing. There is a Grand Cross, or Square, of energies holding us in a pattern. In fact, there are two.
People are feeling heavy, stuck, and tense. Our bodies ache, there is a general experience of inertia, of being unable to act or move of our own free will or accord.
I wonder about the effects of this prolonged Fixed Grand Cross.
Perhaps we have a friendly parental Universe that is timing this release like a Grand Marketing exercise:
‘So you do not want to change? You want to stay the same? You are reluctant to come to grips with issues and concerns that really need to be addressed? You are unwilling, or unable, to take action, or even make decisions to change? Okay, stay there!’
It is a rather Human-ccentric view of life. Yet there may well be a tiny seed of Truth here.
Our (Humanity’s) time as the dominating Kingdom upon this planetary world, is drawing to its natural close. Towards the end of the previous Age in which the Animal Kingdom dominated (dinosaurs etc), much devastation occurred . Our ability to read the Past to understand the Present is still in infancy. Yet we CAN see cycles, and patterns.
Now, we may well be facing the reality that the earth, and indeed, the Universe is vast, and far greater than we can begin to imagine. If we are to take our place with consciousness and dignity in this Grander Universe, then we need be aware of our place in a multiplicity of Life. Are we being ‘meeked’?
Astrologically, this is a time to become aware of the areas of our own lives that scream for change. In some ways, being held in this matrix is a mirroring prison. We can see clearly, that we are indeed, a species that yearns to be free to flow with Life. We seek to liberate our souls for greater and more conscious and active expression in this, our world of nature, and of dense matter. We do not function well under continual pressure and restriction.
Pain is a warning system that indicates stress and strain.
The Human Kingdom is hurting. Commiserations.
Thank the Heavens for the Sun in Gemini! At least we can communicate, share our thoughts and experiences, and at least, theoretically, make choices!
Ahead in the heavens, Grand Trines will be helping us to rise above it all and release the pent up energy in creative ideas (air), inspiration (fire) and water(feeling and emotions). Indeed, by the time of the Full Moon on June 12th, we will be able to experience our emotional selves with greater freedom and sentience.
Blessings.
