Dawnings

The newest of our technologies have brought the Opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics into the hearts and minds of a major portion of the human species on this wondrous Urth. What a fantastic display China!

Each of these Olympic Ceremonies has enabled a different culture and nation to emerge and present itself on the world stage. China has people aplenty and their ability to work together in unison is evident. This nation of China has experienced much of what the world has to offer: feudalism, monarchies, communism and now embracing much of capitalism – and on Friday night it displayed its history and culture to the world. It has given us the basis for printing, paper, fireworks, silk, martial arts and much more. Billions of us are learning to read downwards as we scroll down our computer screens.

I loved the small details amidst the finely tuned masses working together for one purpose: the people running around the globe, the unfolding pics of the torch passage through the world, the 9 year old boy from the earthquake province quietly walking with his tall minder, the thousands of individuals functioning together with a common unified purpose.

People are wondering how these huge numbers of people could all work together so well – the timing, the accuracy – as if of one unified mind. This is an example of the ability of a group to work as one (It is the new emerging Aquarian Age actualised). It is 21 years since we linked across the globe for the Harmonic Convergence – and the Eclipse on Sunday falls on that exact date. We created a unified field on that day. Now the world is awakening in ways we could not have forseen. It takes singular focus, group consciousness and willing hearts to achieve this. We, humanity, are well prepared for this next stage of planetary growth.  

In thinking of the world situation – China has a great deal to offer the global village. They have self mastery down to a fine art. Yes, it is the collective at its extreme, just as America has individualism as its extreme.

The astrology for this upcoming eclipse enforces these themes: the individual shining Sun in Leo, Chiron and Karmic Node conjunct in Aquarius, Neptune conjunct the Full Moon in Aquarius and the stellium in Virgo.

In discovering our own spirit and our own relationship to Life, to the world and to our human experience, we may also discover what we have to offer.

We can no longer ‘go along’ blindly: our human consciousness is expanding as the inevitable path of the unfolding evolution, beckons. Jupiter retrograde in Capricorn is urging us to uncover the beliefs and social norms to which we have bound ourselves – unconsciously. For some, these have been associated with money and power; for some, social conservatism and expectations; for some, finding the ‘right’ set of beliefs and doctrines. The healing of humanity is hilighted.

We can no longer feign a blind obedience to loyalties we have not questioned nor examined in the Light of Truth and the Light of Love.

The truth – one aspect of it – is that our humanity is evolving. It is unfurling like the scrolls of human experience through the passage of time and space. It is this experience of seeing and witnessing and knowing first hand, this process of unfolding evolution in time and space that is unique to our dimensional incarnating experience as souls in matter.

We have the unique and wondrous knowing of first hand subjective experience and objective observation.

This is the gift of our living now.

The human species is indeed growing towards one species of much diversity, one human family of many peoples and cultures, creeds and experiences.

‘One world, one dream’ is playing itself out right now: the Sun in Leo will be eclipsed by the Full Moon in Aquarius – right on the planet Neptune (dreaming) next weekend. [I am well aware of the high probability of astrological knowledge being applied by the Chinese creators and writers! They chose the exact timing of 080808. See the crop circle* that emerged in to join in the celebration.]

One world, one dream is a work in progress. Humanity is a work in progress.

The Stellium of Saturn with the personal planets in Virgo may bring out our narkiness and criticism, our pettiness and mean spirited tendencies. As I feel these well up in my mind, I am consciously redirecting this careful analytical ability into sorting my files, completing my taxes and cleaning. Most of the time (Saturn) it works. I am discovering lots of programs and files in my intellect/brain that are now redundant.

This second Eclipse will be at sunrise for us on the East coast of Australia: Sunday 17th August at 7.17 am AEST. The Sun in Leo will be just above the horizon and the Full Moon in Aquarius will be sliding into the shadow of the planet. It is saying to reflect back in a group conscious humanity, the courage to shine. This is the emergence of our human spirit, the spark of the divine which we all nurture and keep safe deep within and which once ignited, draws us closer to God transcendent.

The exact angle of Mercury to the Midheaven (AEST) in Gemini indicates communication is timely. Communication is the way we, realising our separateness, reach over the great divide to engage with each other. A picture (visual) speaks volumes.

By lunch time on Sunday 17th, Saturn will have led Mercury, Venus and Mars in Virgo into our day. This Virgo stellium is fabulous: for focussing on what really matters, for clear thinking, cleaning, sorting, gathering and accuracy. Virgo is all about the environment – without which we do not survive. It is about the micro and detail. Small does matter. The exact trine from Venus in Virgo to retrograde Jupiter in Capricorn is a ‘sign’ of our next great gift: Venus guides us to our next stage of growth emerging later this year. Mundane astrology refers to this as a time to dream and wish: it is also a time to discover what really matters to us – what we truly value. And the Virgo/Capricorn backdrops infuse us with the realisation that we must act upon what we discover for it to be real.

Pluto back in Sagittarius and aligning with the Galactic Centre, is exploding, triggered by an impulsive and overly critical (fearful and insecure) Mars. Those with power, prestige, wealth and the knowledge of the BIG – need to discover gentleness and wisdom, humility and gratitude before embarking on the next decade or so of grounded application and realistic creation. Quality shall beckon as quantity diminishes. The critical journalism and comments re China are reflections and expressions of those unwilling or unable to recognise that perfection in this world of time and space, is a process and is never achieved without cooperation. Competitiveness is passé. The athletes now speak of their own Personal best (PB) as the measure. By growing, changing and ‘doing our best’ we achieve with, for and on behalf of, humanity.

This spark from Mars to Pluto, ignited the war in Georgia. Territorialism and ownership are outmoded ideas: to eliminate people, human creations and resources in the name of ownership or ‘rights’ is a dead end in terms of evolution. Old beliefs and loyalties have become inflamed and cause disease. This challenge to transform our lowest evolutionary impulses will be exact on the day of the Eclipse. The environment is hilighted.

In many ways, it is fitting that China hosts this Olympics – China offers us the how of managing the 1st Ray – of power and initiative. Directing that energy stream consciously is a fine skill to learn.

The fine tuning, the superb timing, the group consciousness and the artistic display and ceremony of the Olympics are all there in the stellar formations.

Truth is – we need to include everyone in the overall celebration of living that is our heritage, our human right, our duty and our privilege. None of us can do it alone. The world needs what each of us can offer and therefore the issue of human rights is really all about the value we place upon life itself.

The aggressive claiming of what we think are our ‘human rights’ have at times, been quite destructive of nature and of each other: What we claim for ourselves must also be made available to all humanity if it is to be described as ‘rights’.

These two eclipses are gently nudging us towards an expanded view – that of discovering a more humane way of living and creating on this our precious planetary world. What this means – ‘humane’ – is something upon which to ponder.

The second of these Leo Eclipses grants us a window to view the greater humanity’s purpose into which we can contribute our own particular individual gifts.

China has shown us a way: particles (individuals) moved in harmonious rhythm to create a wave.  Light is made up of particles (individual units of matter) which together can form a wave. In this ceremonial new tradition, a ’rite of passage’, humanity is expressing in ceremony, how Light works!

May this Eclipse reveal the individual you – and the purpose and the way - that you may consciously and willingly participate in humanity’s unfolding evolution.

My dream is of a round table of the world’s cultures, creeds and gifts which together enlivens a symbiotic whole: a table where co-operation and creation are the valued methodologies.

One world, one dream,
In – deed …

Blessings.
