Dawnings

We had a glorious weekend with sunlit skies and spring blossoms. The light sparkled on the water and the breezes brought us fresh air from the melting icebergs across the seas. Now storm clouds are gathering.

The Sun has entered the region of the sky we call Scorpio. It is connected with Orion and some parts of the planet got to see and enjoy the meteoroid showers from that region.

Legend has it that there was a mighty battle between the forces of Darkness [devolution, materialism, ignorance, greed etc] and those of Light (evolution, life force, growth & consciousness), in Orion’s realms. [evil/live]

We seem to have refugees from both sides on this planet.

Our planetary Logos is apparently going through its own initiation in a bid to become a Sacred Planet. Good timing as Pluto in our Solar system aligns with the Galactic Centre. Pluto and Mars are happy with the Scorpio/Orion energies. A-huh?!

So how are we to weather this? The Solar Logos is burping out its energy. Astrologically, the Sun is ahead of Mars in, and Venus (just entering) Scorpio, and the moon is ahead of the Mercury/Jupiter conjunction at the other end of the constellation. That gives us all our personal planets and our biggest (consciousness expanding) royal Jupiter, cavorting through the wild storms.

We are having minor little earthquakes here in South Eastern Australia, which is quite rare. Our continent is an island on its own little tectonic plate so we can be lulled into a false sense of stability. Other places in the world – especially the Pacific section of the ‘Ring of Fire’ – are experiencing upheaval. A Cyclonic storm is building around Fiji as I write.

Above the earth’s surface ‘though, the Land of Oz is facing the consequences of changing climate conditions exasperated by too many years of ignorant and brutal ravaging of the delicate land. It’s old, our land. Not much top soil and shallow rooted trees. The rivers have been dammed, polluted and drained of their precious flush. The trees have been torn down for agricultural methods that were transplanted from watery, cool England and Europe. Suburbs of ill conceived housing sprawl across a tired landscape. Leading busy, busy lives is exhausting.

The Sun transitting the Zodiac each year is a fast moving astrological system that hilights our personality characteristics rather than the long term evolution. As humanity, we are experiencing a massive revelatory expansion of consciousness with regard to our personal instincts, blind ignorance, survival stuff, greed, power games, and business/monetary interests. We are being confronted with how lust (be it for power, money or sex) has brought us to this point. Whoops and Ouch!

This can be a stressful time, or a time to rise above it all – become the phoenix rising from the ashes and learn from our mistakes. Scorpio is all about energy. Do we force issues, or ride the wave? How do we learn to use what IS rather than continue with those old ideas of pitting ourselves against nature in an antagonistic relationship?

Personally, I think it’s a great time to go surfing… and to invest in Solar technology.
