Spring in Southern Australia

It is spring here in Ozland down under: Nature’s theme is new growth.

It was indeed delightful to hear Bill Clinton on the Dave Letterman Show speak of the need to ‘start again’. In my life experiences , I have learnt that the essence of healing of any situation or circumstance is the ability, courage and willingness to begin anew.

What grand ideas President Clinton espoused: cutting back on mortgage payments to keep people IN their homes; that money making money merely serves the already wealthy and that we need to invest in practical projects that benefit the community. Why is it that the best emerges from people when they are no longer dealing with the oppressive demands of power and are happy to just be themselves?

With Venus in Scorpio now, we shall see more clearly the predatory and competitive intentions in personal, business and commercial interests.  The pyramid models of the past are decaying. [see Pendulum: Beyond the Pyramids ] Evolution calls for a personal development of sharing. 

Mars and Mercury in Libra assist in honest communications and creative endeavours. Annihilating each other serves no-one. Honest communication facilitates sharing which MAY lead to understanding. We need talking sticks to come into fashion worldwide that all may have their chance to speak their truth. 

I suggest again my idea from a few weeks ago that each New Year’s Day we declare as Honesty Day: from sunrise to sunset on the first day of the year we endeavour to be honest with ourselves and each other. On the basis of what we discover, we may then begin each year more naturally our real selves.

The human species is being offered some fantastic opportunities to be truly creative. Neptune, The Karmic Agenda and Chiron (our vulnerability) in Aquarius speaks volumes about the 4th kingdom (Humanity) rethinking – what is the Highest Good for all concerned?  There is a profound cycle with Mercury retrograde in these next few weeks to detach and observe: to become the witness and watcher. Much shall unravel and be revealed. Each day will be new.

Saturn in Virgo and Jupiter in Capricorn are beginning to move slowly forward again. They together guide us to take one small careful step – then another – then another. Slowly and carefully we can consciously take responsibility for the well being of our own lives, our civilisations and our planetary world.

The New Moon in Libra is exact at 6.12 pm on Monday 29th September here on the east Coast of Australia. [AEST]. That’s right on sunset. The yin and yang; the inner and outer; our feeling and thinking selves; our soul and human personal self -  can be experienced as one. 

May we find within ourselves our own seed of the eternal – our divine spark – to inspire, encourage and light the way ahead.

… For the Love of our planet, our species and life itself.

Blessings,
