Revelations
This plaque is imbedded in the pavement of Library Way, New York. Quote from Virginia Woolfe.

“A cycle of revelation has begun and will continue… adapt to it and resolve to be honest with oneself and the world. It will save us all a great deal of time, energy and anguish.”
Rest, get and out about this weekend then nose to the grindstone Monday and Tuesday. That’s the stellar recipe ahead. By mid march, the world will look different.
Blessings …

The Eclipse has passed and the energies are adjusting and stabilising – slowly. The effect can last for months so let the leaves fall off the tree when their time is complete. [ the season of autumn has begun early in Ozland]. Rest lots.
I am writing this to follow on from the astroblog. We humans are learning to connect the left and right brain hemispheres and activate new parts of the brain – it’s all in a lifetime’s work during the crossing of the Ages and quantum leaps in evolution. It’s fun being on earth, alive in body and soul conscious now huh?
I made a reference in the astroblog to the connection between this eclipse and the eclipse last August. The Sky and Telescope magazine has provided an astronomical pic of just this.
Astronomy monitors and calculates the stellar events and portrays them (these days) with stunning pics.
Astrology describes the personal journey of the effects of these stellar cycles and events for us folk growing in consciousness.
It is ultimately the combination of both that enable us to merge both left and right functions of the brain (calculation and understanding). This combination also facilitates us in connecting the inner and outer human experiences.

Here we have a pic of the eclipse taken from a point as it is occurring along the path of Serbia, Croatia and the newly created independent nation of Kosovo. The news items will present you with pics of raging demonstrations and riots as the people experience instability and insecurity within their personal sense of identity and belonging. The lower chakras and deepest instincts are activated during eclipses because our biological bodies are linked directly to stellar events and the greater cosmos. Simply put, we (humans) are made of star material and the stars and planets affect us!
This eclipse is ‘out with the old, in with the new’ on the Pisces Sun, Virgo moon axis. This axis, described as spirit (Pisces) into matter (Virgo), is a powerful anchoring of incoming spiritual energies in the few minutes of a magnetic corridor formed by the sun/moon opposition. The photographer, Ivica Skokic, chose to take the pic with the angel and in so doing, framed beautifully, the abstract archetypal understanding we have of the guardian angel (spirit) protecting the temporary loss of light (sun/moon eclipse). Photographers and artists often combine the left and right hemispheres. The technical has to be accurate (left brain) and the artistic comprehension (right brain) grasped – sometimes in a split second – at the same time.
Meanwhile, the USA chose the exact time of the eclipse to launch a missile to bring down the reconnaissance satellite that was failing to respond to their instructions from the ground base. Trigger time as the article describes was to capture a window of only a few seconds which also happened to be the same time as the eclipse. I do not know enough to understand why this was so … but I am sure there is a reason. Perhaps it is simply that during an eclipse there is a null zone magnetically speaking created by the sun/moon opposition: A void or vortex which perhaps facilitates such accuracy. To be sure, there will be an underlying reason for the retrieval of the satellite because eclipses always reveal something previously hidden from our consciousness. Whatever … It worked!
Update for the next week:
Gorgeous early morning displays by the inner planets which influence and enhance our personal development:

Between Sunday 24th and Wednesday 27th February, Saturn is opposite the Sun, which means every time you look at the sun you can be aware that Saturn is covering your back and supporting you.

Mars in Gemini will be in exact alignment through to Sagittarius and the Galactic Core on Tuesday 26th February which will facilitate receptivity on the plane of the human intellect. Silence and deep inner listening will enhance the accessiblity.
Record what you can of ideas, insights – those gentle, subtle and profound realisations.
An excellent few days to ground spiritual insights and open the mind, heart and body to the light of the eternal spirit. I invite the world servers and light workers across the globe to use these days to connect us all and the heavens to the earth with the Great Invocation and/or the prayer of your choice.
It is indeed a time to be both personal and worldly, spirit and matter at the same time! This is a stellar outer framework which is described in the esoterica as the axis of incarnation. It is the Celtic cross, the Rosacrucian cross, the ‘angles’ of the natal chart … it is being here now and conscious.
Blessings!
Thanks to Sky & Telescope for their pics. The gallery of people’s pics of the eclipse from across the globe – is a banquet.
No commentsOld ways and new consciousness…
This week is the second Eclipse for the year and this one links back to 28 August and 11 September 2007.
It is a time to withdraw a little and find the inner self again.
We have changed so much in our consciousness that to speak of fate, faith, destiny and karma* seems old fashioned: yet the astrology of this week is traditionally highlighting these areas of our journeys/archetypal understanding.
Now, this week, is a time to open to precipitation from the heavens, to let the radar of the Higher Self find the connection to our creative Source, to the eternal spirit.
The 16 year cycle of Pluto in Capricorn has only just begun – but already the political landscape is changing: Kosovo is celebrating independence; Pakistan is claiming back its democracy, East Timor is in upheaval with its democratic leader injured from an attempted assassination and Fidel Castro is handing over his leadership in Cuba. Listening to the news we hear the words: “Let us put it all behind us and move on…” being applied to a variety of situations.
Aaaah! Sun in gentle Pisces! What a relief – and here comes the much needed rain for our hot and parched kingdoms …
Blessings!

No commentsLots on our Minds…full hearts.
The flowering gums and Moonah trees are native to Australia: their time is now.
Today is the Opening of Parliament and for the first time in Australia’s Parliamentary History a Native Elder welcomed the settlers to their land. From today, we all belong here. Opening ceremony ABC tv 7.30 report. 12 February 2008.
Tomorrow is ‘Sorry‘ Day. Oh yes! It has taken this new Goverment just 11 weeks to do what has never been done before. Healing for us all begins.
Full text of PM’s speech
“Today we honour the Indigenous peoples of this land, the oldest continuing cultures in human history.
We reflect on their past mistreatment.
We reflect in particular on the mistreatment of those who were stolen generations – this blemished chapter in our nation’s history.
The time has now come for the nation to turn a new page in Australia’s history by righting the wrongs of the past and so moving forward with confidence to the future.”

We are human and we experience and live in a human world. Our human created societies and civilisations are just outward forms and of course, they can change! Indeed, as we are changing, so will our created worlds.

I have added a side bar with links for your convenience. The erratic energies occasionally see the system crashing so each time it is reloaded – I recreate something new.
Welcome to the Eclipsed New Moon in Aquarius: and the Chinese New Year of the Rat! Thursday 7 February at 2.44 pm AEDT.

May your year bring many opportunities to develop intelligent resourcefulness.
