Karmic Reckoning. A Turning Point.

Image
Recent eclipses have sent waves of accelerated change into the stratosphere. Things continue to feel a bit surreal but new positive energy is beginning to smooth out the wrinkles.  At every turning point in time, at every fork in the road, at every ending, the seed of the new is being planted. Even though a door maybe closing, a window is openning to let new light in.  Be patient.  Soon a new opportunity will present itself.   Some recent posts from Aurum Astrology on FB: SUN (radiant self) JUPITER (expansive Joy) in LIBRA (harmony and balance) Mercury is slowly accelerating as it moves back through the sign of Virgo. If you've been going back over an old issue or idea ... (or relationship)... it's third strike and your out. Or maybe third time lucky! Time to get it right or change the story! Saturn (karmic lessons)  is exactly square (tension) the nodes of the Moon (Collective Destiny Point)  Squares create tension that forces us to act.   Facing our past?  A karmic reckoning?

'The Return'

Equinox Blessings to one and all.   This is a time of blessing and harvest. A PAUSE to gather ourselves when all things are in balance.  Some will notice that in the background there is still a fair bit of disruption and tension  in the air. Soon that will all settle down and we can return to some sort of regularity, although  after two powerful eclipses and a lot of mutable energy, nothing will ever be the same. Yet the seasons continue their yearly cycle and the planets their orbits around the Sun. The Sun now in Libra  is about to join Jupiter, planet of joy and expansion. Libra is ruled by Venus, planet of LOVE.  Real Love can melt away even the toughest armour and open the most stubborn heart. They meet at a special point that represents a deep hunger for love. The irony is that  'everything you are looking for is already inside of you!'  On other words, all the love we could ever want is an essential part of who we are. Seek a

EQUINOX!

This thursday is the Autumnal Equinox ... when day and night are equal. As we head into Autumn... and  the Sun enters the sign of the scales,   it's time to pause and take stock. Libra calls on our deep need for balance and harmony in our lives. Finding equilibrium is key in an increasingly chaotic world. Libra is also about that other balancing act of  SELF and OTHER. Who am I and who am I with (or not with)? Just a few days ago we had a  powerful Harvest Moon Eclipse. Something  shifted. Something changed.  (scroll down to read last two posts on the Full Moon eclipse). At harvest time we celebrate the fruits of our labour. This is traditionall the time to separate the wheat from the chaff as we begin to prepare for the change of seasons. Whatever you have been working on, or through, whatever has taken all your energy for months and months... can now be harvested. Sort of... As it happens, Mercury  turns direct on Thursday as well,  amidst some very challenging aspec

Healing Emotional Patterns Full Moon Eclipse prt 2

Image
I really want to emphasize that at its core, this eclipse is about the healing and release of old emotional patterns.  Without going into too much detail, many aspects are pointing to a profound opportunity to resolve a release the roots of stuff we've been repeating all our lives, which we probably had passed on to us from our parents and their parents and their parents etc. Some say we choose our family for karmic reasons, so this is about clearing our family karma.        Time to emerge from the crysalis.   This is why some of us of been feeling so vulnerable lately. Because what is so familiar is dissolving and coming up to the surface to be released.  Our relationships are the ground upon which all our patterns get reflected. This is a rebirth, a chance to step into our true nature as we release the layers of who we are not.  An image has come to me of one of those old English mazes where the hedges are so high all you can see is just in front of you. Each turn could be the wr

"Between the Retro Mercury/Virgo, Eclipses in Virgo/Pisces and Saturn/Neptune square, nothing is clear, real or to be trusted." Yup!  I'm writing this on my iPhone cause my computer has a virus ... perfectly Mercury retrograde ! Ahhhhhh. Please excuse typos and glitches. It's a ' very small screen' lol!    I'll be back to edit tomorrow! As far as the current astrology goes, right now things overall are weird and tense and exciting all at the same time. Mars is VERY STRONG right now.  I notice a lot of people are pretty edgy. Or maybe it's just me! Watch out for projectiles heading your way. REFLECT...DON'T PROJECT!                    Claim your power! As the energy  builds toward the Full Moon Eclipse on Fri/Sat... Mars (AGGRESSION) is in a tense angle to both Sun and Mercury (COMMUNICATION) ... in Virgo.     PIcky, picky, picky.  Aggressively so!   As I said, people are PROJECTING all over the place! Try not to TAKE THINGS PERSONALLY... Its just

Betwixt and Between

Do you feel like you are caught in a TIME-WARP? Are you feeling betwixt and between? Or LOST IN SPACE?  This  time between eclipses can be a bit surreal.  It  may feel like things in your life are melting and morphing and changing beyond recognition.  Ever since the  eclipses in April/May,  we've spinning around in a very  strange and unusual energy vortex. Reality (Saturn) and illusion (Neptune) have been dancing around around each other  as we've struggled to make sense of what is true or false.   Nothing has been  working in a linear fashion. The challenge of Saturn/Neptune  is to find a way to integrate them together. i. e. Walk your talk Make your dreams real. Do the (inner) work. Face your illusions ... Find the truth  etc 'Trust in Allah but tether your camel.'   Easier said than done! Many are experiencing anxiety, fear, disillusionment on a grand scale. Who can we trust? Who can we turn to?  WTF  is going on anyway? It's all ab

New Moon Solar Eclpse in Virgo. Time to clean up our act.

Two things before you get started:  1. If you want to be notified when there is a new post, please leave your email in the link at top right. 2.If you sign up on Facebook (tab lower right) I do SHORT daily updates. These weekly posts are longer and more involved. I am writing this just hours before we enter a Total Eclipse of the Sun. In fact, by the time I've finished,  it will be well underway. So I hope you can feel these eclipse vibes coming through the stratosphere to awaken your sleepy self. Yet again we are being thrust into a period of intense change and upheaval as our inner reality is challenged and stretched to make way for  new ways of being in this world. That's essentially what eclipses do, they get us to pay attention to areas in our life that need to change. "An annular solar eclipse is where the diameter of the Moon does not completely cover the Sun, resulting in a ‘ring of fire’ effect.  An annular eclipse is quite stunning to v
