Dawnings

We begin the weekend here in Ozland on Saturday morning of the 22nd November, with storms raging along the East Coast and unseasonably cold winds with high humidity. Strange weather patterns indeed. By 9.45 am, the Sun will have entered Sagittarius AEDT. In Melbourne, a Capricorn Ascendant and Virgo Moon will greet the Day.

Here in Rye, we shall be celebrating an Inter-Faith festival with ceremonies, workshops, dancing and music, market stalls and children’s activities. The weekend’s offerings on the foreshore will be fascinating and bring lots of life to a community well aware of its delightful diversity of cultures and beliefs. This is appropriate timing as we prepare to farewell Pluto’s 15 year journey through Sagittarius which nudged us into the next evolutionary cycle whereby spirituality will emerge as a natural expression of the human. Many folk are retrieving their own direct connection with spirit and wanting to share what they are discovering. 

The role of religions was to maintain that connection through a long Age of a dispersed humanity. Each faith and belief (religion) emerged from its own cultural context. The essence uniting us all is the natural and instinctive drive towards what we call ‘the spiritual’. As we develop our intuitive selves we shall sense and know more and more directly and in tune with nature and our selves.  

On the 23rd (Sunday AEDT) Mercury will activate itself anew in Sagittarius – and we can talk about the last few weeks and seeing ahead into the future. Watch the media people fall over themselves and each other to keep up as the pace quickens. Do keep track of those ideas tumbling through the ethers and record them for us all – we shall need them. Communications may be inspired and inspiring.

On Thursday 27th November at precisely 12.03 pm, Pluto will enter Capricorn [ pluto-ingress-capricorn ] where it shall preside (with dignity and integrity) until 2024/6. The presence of Mercury and Sun in Sagittarius at this ingress heralds a revival of the classical folksy – in fashions, music, festivals, dance and song. Practical futuristic development and scientific innovation will be created from active mental planes and simplicity will replace the glamour and complexities of the past few decades. Markets will replace large shopping malls and bartering will emerge as necessity calls forth more realistic survival plans.

In Melbourne, an Aquarian Ascendant will serve us well – it is here that a local group are championing the need for an Australian Charter of Human Rights. The people will challenge the Scorpionic Business interests and the issues of water and the sea will be in our sights. The stellium of Jupiter, Venus and Pluto in Capricorn in the Aquarian ruled 11th house reinforces the Government by and for and with the people.  Community organisations and groups will feature strongly for the decade ahead. Local Councils will need to revise planning permits to create communities of dwellings which enhance sustainability and self sufficiency rather than developers estates which are often isolating and impractical.  Support community groups which serve the people, renovate and maintain community buildings and co-operatives for food growing and support; community banks and voluntary organisations will be busy. There will be more migration out of cities into rural areas where decentralisation will develop larger and more beneficial townships. [For localised charts and insights into house placement - adjust for your own time zones. ]

For our beautiful little planet – a long cycle of Reformation, Renaissance and Revolution begins in earnest. Those who have rarely considered responsible and ethical behaviour will be embarking on a crash (?) course. Those who love the adventure of responsive human creation, development and community organisation – will thrive. According to the Urantia books and the Keys of Enoch, ours is a Creation Universe of immense diversity and therefore Relativity is vital. Equality is of the Absolute which is why we are described as equal in the ‘sight of God’. We shall become more aware of this when Saturn moves into Libra late in 2009.

Life will not be boring – it is a celestial offering of stupendous potential. 

These next few decades will challenge everything we know about humanity, about civilisation and governance, about living on a planet and about our Purpose in being here and now.  If you want to know how you fit into this grand scenario, ask yourself what is important to you and what vitalises you in body, heart, mind and spirit. Integrity utilises the ability to be true to the essential self. Whatever sense and vision we have developed over the past two decades will be well seeded – conscious or not. Now, we get to actualise – to implement and to create and build anew. Nature is changing of its own accord and the planet itself is ‘initiating’ its new cycle. Many people are choosing, now, to experience and co-create with nature with a developed consciousness and physicality launching into a quantum leap of evolution. Some aspects (forms) will slowly dissolve, some will disintegrate (quite suddenly) as if the glue has worn out, some will simply cease to function as the new cosmic frequencies streaming into our world attract and repel in the everlasting dance of life. Some will prepare for sleep and withdrawal – tired from a long and demanding life cycle. Faith is simply, the knowing that new Light upon the Waters of Life is the gift of the eternal spirit of creation of which we are active and aware fragments. The miracle (gift) is that we get to experience being whole and alive – with an added bonus of consciousness.

I am reminded here of an experience way back in the mid 1980’s. I ventured to Fossil beach in Mt. Martha with my then teenage daughter and son. The wintry day had created stormy clouds through which streams of light emerged to shine on the sea. We stood on ancient rocks, surrounded by fossilised creatures millions of years old. I commented that such a sight, ”reminded me of God”. My daughter chuckled: “it IS God”. My son stared at us both then at the scene and stated simply: “It is sunlight on the water and lots of old rocks”. All 3 of us were expressing our perception and experience of a dynamic world. All 3 were correct. There is no need for comparison, competition, right nor wrong. Life IS.   

These next few years we will be witnessing the completion of a few cycles – some on a magnitude difficult to grasp.  We are sophisticated and learned enough these days to know of these greater cycles from our own calculations. The more personalised prophesies and descriptions are found in vague records and hidden in legends and stories, in religious texts and ‘sacred’ documents. Risa describes these cycles – some involving many thousands of years. 

I have been contemplating the subject of Love and wisdom which is our Solar Village theme, the beautiful blue 2nd Ray and the challenge of forgiveness.  Learning to forgive the person – whilst retaining the wisdom of seeing clearly what is nurturing of our own souls and life – is quite a process.  The Saturn/Uranus opposition brings to the light, why our most recent Avatar on Urth taught us about loving, compassion and forgiveness.

The New Moon at 5 degrees Sagittarius [Friday 28 November at 3.54 am AEDT] will revive our optimism and foresight. We will be able to see a little further across wider horizons as we surface from the intensity of Scorpio. The hymn, Blake’s Jerusalem, flickers through my mind.

This is what it is all about – reviving our passion for Life, for the liberty to embrace life, for the vision that can see life: eternal, dynamic and oh so precious.

May the mysteries continue to intrigue the mind, love revive the heart, and our little wills be one with the essence of God’s unfolding magnificence. 

Dance on …

With grateful Blessings,
