From the Galactic Centre to Winter Solstice 2023 – Light Returning…

Pre-Winter Solstice Greetings, Cosmic Friend!

Galactic Cente – The Heart of the Milky Way Galaxy

What grand finale of yet another intense game changer year of 2023!
What a Galactic Transition into Light Returning!

These days, more precisely Dec 17 – 19, is the yearly time when (in the Northern Hemisphere) the SUN in late SAG points to the Heart of our Milky Way Galaxy – the Galactic Centre, a dark rift, ‘black hole’, AND a birthing place out of stillness.
Honoured by indigenous cultures as the Womb of Creation.

If your birthday is these days, or your AC, MOON, or Planets are at 26 – 28° SAG, big themes are to align from our loving Heart, with the Heart of Hearts, to follow ultimate Truth, inner Guidance, and trust the inner Soul Light on our Path.  

What also can come up here as a lower vibration is (ironically) are unrealistically high expectations towards oneself, others, or something happening from the outside – inevitably prone to disappointment.
A not-so enlightened way of living the Galactic SUN square stat. NEPTUNE energy which was exact yesterday, Dec 16).

And if your SUN / MOON or other cosmic features are in early CAP:
Happy RE-Birthday soon!
Thank you for carrying the Light into the World!

On the Winter Solstice intersection of SAG / CAP, we’re also at the Space-Time cross(roads). SAG rules Space, and CAP rules Time.

Galactic Alignment of the Pyramids in Teotihuacan (“City of the Gods”)

What does it take to show up simply and ‘magically’ at the right Time and right Place? And to attract ‘synchronicities’ and cosmic guidance?

We increase the odds when we’re in resonance & coherence with the Universe, and follow inner Heart Guidance, the inner teacher who is connected to the bigger sphere, or even ‘simpler’: When we’re in egoless alignment with Integrity as-Nature, and move with LOVE.

The Winter SoUlstice Point is the Space-Time Point, Integrity Point, or Inner Guru Point.
Here we can find the Teacher & Guiding Light within

Voyager Tarot card V Hierophant – the Spiritual Teacher, with Crystal & Ganesh activation. 

Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.

This cusp is ruled by JUPITER (for SAG) and SATURN (for CAP).

The two biggest planets in our Solar System, SATURN & JUPITER, came together to start a new 20-year cycle at Winter Solstice(!) 2020 at 1ºAQ.
What a celestial spectacle that was – and what a pointer to 
A New Era for our Shared Humanity!

SATURN, the ‘obstacle bringer’ teaches us, via ‘what’s in the way’ (hint: old patterns and conditioning, fears and limitations, ego contraction, sense of separateness, and need for control) and where we need to drop the excess ‘baggage’ of these heavy duty engagements.

SATURN is these years in PISCES (March 7, 2023 – Feb 14, 2026).
Spiritual Teachings – and perhaps even a Pisces Age culmination / completion (as SATURN will approach NEPTUNE in 2025 / 26)?
How about:living in The Dao of Unity & Flow?

JUPITER this passing year in TAURUS (May 16, 2023 – May 26, 2024) shows us a lot about The Value of Nature & Everything Organic

The big news will be JUPITER’s connection w. URANUS, on Apr 21, 2024.
This connection happens every 13 years, yet this one is special.

Since by then, PLUTO will have entered URANUS’s sign AQ, once again (from Jan 20, 2024 on).
A New Era for our Humanity is well underway – what does that mean for Nature?!

Mercurio a la Alameda Central (CDMX)

And our Friend MERCURY crosses the ‘Space-Time’ point 3 times this time!
Dec 1 in forward motion, coming up: Dec 22 / 23 in retro motion, and again in forward motion on Jan 13.

Can we practice in the forward-retro-forward course to bring what gives us meaning and happiness, and what lifts the Spirit (SAG)...
Into lasting implementation / practice / priority (CAP)?!

Reflections for the Winter Solstice Point – esp. in 2023

* What have been the Gifts you received in the last year (and beyond)? Including those in disguise (usually the most spiritually important ones…) – compliments PLUTO end of CAP / VENUS now in SCO?

* Which of your inner / hidden / not applied Gifts have you been reminded of?

* What would be the best way of doing something / more with them?

* How can this implementation bring out your Best?

* How does the Inner Light return for you?

* How do you offer and contribute it to the Greater Good – AQ – to help co-create a New Era for and in Humanity?

* Living by ancient, timeless teachings, and bringing them into this time and into our shared future can be very beneficial.

* How are surrendering & connectedness the gifts of this time for you?

The SUN will reach the sacred SAG-to-CAP transition,
at WINTER SOLSTICE on Dec 21, 2023 at 7:27 pm PST.

Here is the Winter Solstice ‘Birth Chart’

What’s the cosmic energy of Winter Solstice 2023?

What a unique alignment, of the SUN freshly in CAP – with MERCURY retro approaching it for the ‘Day of Enlightening Insight’ (Dec 22) when it passes behind the SUN – for the 2nd half of M-r, the ‘Promethean’ phase, while also re-entering SAG 11 1/2 hrs after the conjunction!
Basically the SUN enters CAP, and M-r re-enters SAG within 2 days.
All on the ‘Space-Time’ Point.

May Spirit / Consciousness / the Inner Light guide us on (SUN in CAP)!
May we find Happiness and Freedom within (M-r in SAG), beyond having done things ‘the hard way’ – according to the mind’s mandates – or: After having experienced how the ‘Old / Traditional World’ operates and communicates in simpler, ‘more real’ ways (M-r in CAP)!

Also ON, at the onset of Winter 2023 / 24:

* CHIRON in AR retro / stationary will go direct on the Full Moon day (Dec 26):
Showing up a-New, with our Authenticity and / as our Medicine

* VENUS still in SCO / crosses the ‘Phoenix Point’ to enter SAG on Dec 29:
Love A-Rising. Walking in Truth, Freedom, and Beauty.

* JUPITER in TAU is also retro / stationary now, and will go direct on Dec 30:
Bringing the gathered / re-connected Inner Gifts out into the World.

Celtic Wheel of the Year, w. the cardinal Turning Points of the Equinoxes and Solstices
Incl. YULE – Winter SoUlstice

Let’s link up with the deep cosmic energy at this time of year!

And honour ancient traditions – in our Time & Place.  

Speaking of Space-Time: 

Space as we knew it has changed massively and irreversibly (Internet, globalization, worldwide travel boom etc.), during the period when PLUTO was in SAG (1995 – 2008).   

Time as we know it is changing now, with PLUTO in CAP (2008 – 2024).
Time is VERY relative, in fact it’s just a dimension that can be also molded, stretched, and transcended: 
We energetically ‘run out of it’ when we race around in scarcity mode, and, with consumer mentality (esp. before Christmas…), want more of what we don’t seem to ‘have’. Like a ‘hungry ghost’.

One of the shadows of CAP (the never satisfied materialist).

In contrast, we ‘have all the time in the world’ when we slow down, and tune into ‘Kairos’ (time-quality) rather than ‘Chronos’ (time-quantity). 
When we tap into ‘Deep Time’, and tune into Heart Time…

Undivided Time (and attention) – one of the best gifts we can give others, to ourselves, and to the World.

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.

Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.

I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!    

Feeling called to explore your own Cosmic Map, and how it can guide you on your Earthly Journey?
Come over / let’s meet online, for Your private Astro session!

From the Galactic Centre to the WINTER SOLSTICE 2020 – Light Returning…

Winter Solstice Greetings, Cosmic Friend!

Galactic Cente – The Heart of the Milky Way Galaxy, via NASA infrared Space Telescope

 

These days, Dec 17 – 19, is the yearly time when (in the Northern Hemisphere) the SUN in late SAG points to the Heart of our Milky Way Galaxy – the Galactic Centre, a dark rift, ‘black hole’, AND a birthing place out of stillness, honoured by indigenous cultures as the Womb of Creation.

 

If you with birthdays these days, or AC, MOON, or Planets in our birth chart at 26 – 28° SAG, are strongly called to align from our loving Heart, with the Heart of Hearts, to follow ultimate Truth, inner Guidance, and trust the inner Soul Light on our Path.  

And if your SUN / MOON or other cosmic features are in early CAP: Happy RE-Birthday! Thank you for carrying the Light into the World!

On the Winter Solstice intersection of SAG / CAP, we’re also at the Space-Time cross(roads): SAG rules Space, and CAP rules Time.

What does it take to show up simply and ‘magically’ at the right Time and right Place? And to attract ‘synchronicities’?

We increase the odds when we’re in resonance with the Universe, i.o.w., when we follow inner Heart Guidance – aligned with the Universe – the inner teacher who is connected to the bigger sphere, or even ‘simpler’:
When we’re in egoless alignment with Integrity as-Nature, and move with LOVE.

 

The Winter SoUlstice Point is the Space-Time Point, Integrity Point, or Inner Guru Point – here we can find the Teacher and Guiding Light within.

Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.

SATURN, the ‘obstacle bringer’ teaches us, via ‘what’s in the way’ (hint: old patterns and conditioning, fears and limitations, ego contraction, sense of separateness, and need for control) and where we need to drop the excess ‘baggage’ of these heavy duty engagements.

On Dec 16, SATURN completed its ‘job’ in CAP (since Dec 20, 2017), and entered AQ – to be joined in AQ by JUPITER on Dec 19. The two biggest planets in our Solar System meet and start a new 20-year cycle on Dec 21 – Winter Solstice(!) at 1ºAQ  – A New Era for our Shared Humanity.

JUPITER hasn’t given us an ‘easy’ / ‘fun’ time in CAP (where it’s the most challenged / challenging) – the gifts show up in hindsight / over time.
But maybe you can already honour them – clearing the path for the transition into AQ.

MERCURY crosses on Dec 20 over the Space-Time Point into CAP where it reminds us to keep the mind clear and ‘real’.

 

Reflections for the Winter Solstice Point – also and especially in 2020:

• What have been the Gifts you received in the last year (and beyond)? Including those in disguise (usually the most spiritually important ones…).
• Which of your inner Gifts have you been shown / reminded of?
• What would be the best way of doing something with them?
• How can this implementation bring out your Best and serve the Greater Good?
• How does the Inner Light return for you?
• How do you offer and contribute it to Humanity – AQ – to help co-create a New Era for and in Humanity?
• Living by ancient, timeless teachings, and bringing them into this time and into our shared future can be very beneficial.

 

 

Blessings for the Galactic RE-Birthday to all of us NOW!

The energy to align with essential deep Truth (the ultimate Gift that comes ‘down the chimney’) so that we can actually Walk the Talk, Implement the Vision, and BE the Truth, the Light, the Love – Together!  

 

The SUN will reach the sacred SAG-to-CAP transition, at WINTER SOLSTICE 2020 – this year on Dec 21 at 2:02 am PST.

If you’re up at this time it would be wonderful to do a ceremony, inviting the Light!  

 

 

Here is the Winter Solstice ‘Birth Chart’:

 

What’s the cosmic energy of the WINTER SOLSTICE 2020?

What a Year!
What grand finale / grand transition alignment from 2020 into 2021!
I’m sure you know about it and are feeling it…
What a Galactic Transition into Light Returning!

 

We’re just coming out of the Galactic Total Solar Release Eclipse in SAG (Dec 14) – End of Old Story. Into the Heart of the Deep Unknowable.

VENUS still in SAG until until Jan 8 helps us with Walking in Truth, Freedom, and Beauty, and Being in Heart Connection.

MERCURY (from Dec 20 on) leads the SUN into CAP, after their ‘Superior Conjunction’ on Dec 19 in the Galactic Centre: Deep Truth seen, spoken, shared (SAG), and lived by (CAP).

The BIG theme: JUPITER and SATURN leave CAP during Galactic Centre days (Dec 16 / 19)!

And align at 1º AQ – on Dec 21, 2020 at 10:21 am PST, just 8 hrs after Winter Solstice at 2:02 am PST – on 12/21/2020!
A New Era for our Shared Humanity!

 

Whoa – striking all these 0’s, 1’s and 2’s. In Tarot the respective Major Arcana cards are

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card 0 – Fool-Child – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 0 = Fool / Child – Pure Potentiality Openness, innocence, fresh beginnings, baby steps. Goes with CHIRON in ARIES (stationary in Dec since it went direct on Dec 15) – the Medicine of Authenticity.

 

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card I – Magician – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 1 = Magician – Power & Manifestation How do you use your power to create? How are you the change you wish to see? You are more powerful than you might ‘think’ (esp. in 2020). Your words, your actions, your love – they help transform the world. Don’t give power away / project it onto ‘them’, and find deep inalienable power within. A PLUTO in CAP (still with us until 2023 / 24) theme. MARS squares PLUTO on Dec 23 – put Soul Power into action.

 

Crystal activated Voyager Tarot card II – Priestess – Crystal Activation and Photo by Melanie

 2 = Priestess – Sacred Feminine Our life and our body is a Temple. Being in alignment with your cosmic self keeps you in integrity. The SAG – CAP Winter Solstice is also the Integrity Point in the Zodiac. Doing the work and being in service in an intentional, clear way, connected with Spirit / Higher Self. Everything is spiritual practice.  

 

SATURN & JUPITER leaving CAP where there’s been a historic conglomerate of Planets in 2020 (JUPITER – SATURN – PLUTO, showing the intensity & immensity of the Old Empire as it Expires), entering AQ, and aligning at Winter Solstice to initiate a new 20-year cycle is huge!

And of course deserves separate blog explorations.

Here’s the first one, for SATURN in AQ – We the People. Our Humanity Matters.

 

Also on the Day of the WINTER SOLSTICE and beyond:

The MOON end of PISCES, after passing NEPTUNE on Dec 20 (a biiig wash-out, release, letting go of old vibrations) will be about to enter ARIES on Winter Solstice Day at 2:32 pm PST for her monthly alignment with CHIRON on Dec 22.

Linking back to the Spring Equinox New Moon with LILITH & CHIRON on March 24 – Show Up with the Medicine of Spring.
Also – and esp. now at the onset of Winter – as the Light Returns.
What’s fresh and new, brave, authentic, and alive in you?
Show up with and as it – NOW.
Receiving and offering Medicine (CHIRON) can be so direct.

MARS in ARIES – in its last phase until Jan 6 (has been since June 27!). MARS comes out of a Fire Trine with MERCURY and the SUN end of SAG (was exact Dec 10 / 14) – lots of ‘War on…’ Mission, and lots of opportunity to Be the Warrior of Light and Life and Love.
The grand finale of MARS in ARIES is coming up: The square to PLUTO end of CAP, on Dec 23 (the 3rd of 3 contacts in 2020):
Connecting with Soul Power, and acting from there strengthens the genuine Inner Warrior.  

URANUS in TAU will be met & passed by LILITH exact on Dec 23 (happens only every about 10 years).
Being Free & Thriving as our intrinsic, unconditioned, ‘Wild’ Nature, our senses and as Nature herself always ARE.  

 

Celtic Wheel of the Year, with the cardinal Turning Points of the Equinoxes and Solstices, incl. YULE – Winter Solstice

Let’s link up with the deep cosmic energy at this time of year!

And honour ancient traditions – in our Time and Place.  

Speaking of Space-Time: Space as we knew it has changed massively and irreversibly (Internet, globalization, worldwide travel boom etc.), during the period when PLUTO was in SAG (1995 – 2008).   

Time as we know it is changing now, with PLUTO in CAP (2008 – 2023). Time is VERY relative, in fact it’s just a dimension that can be also molded, and transcended: We energetically ‘run out of it’ when we race around in scarcity mode, and, with consumer mentality (esp. before Christmas…), want more of what we don’t seem to ‘have’. Like a ‘hungry ghost’.

One of the shadows of CAP (the never satisfied materialist).

In contrast, we ‘have all the time in the world’ when we slow down, and tune into ‘Kairos’ (time-as-quality) rather than ‘Chronos’ (time-as-quantity). When we tap into ‘Deep Time’, and tune into Heart Time…

One of the best gifts we can give others, to ourselves, and to the World.

I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.

Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.

The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’ and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life.

I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life. I welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

If you’d like to tune in astrologically, whether there’s an outer ‘occasion’ and change, or you just have ‘that calling’ I invite you to get in touch. I’m happy to support you being re-aligned and re-empowered, on your own path, and in relationships.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!

From the Galactic Centre to the WINTER SOLSTICE 2019: Light Returning…

Solsticey Greetings, Cosmic Friend!

Galactic Cente – The Heart of the Milky Way Galaxy, via NASA infrared Space Telescope

 

These days, Dec 17 – 19, is the yearly time when (in the Northern Hemisphere) the SUN in late SAG points to the Heart of our Milky Way Galaxy – the Galactic Centre, a dark rift, ‘black hole’, AND a birthing place out of stillness, honoured by indigenous cultures as the Womb of Creation.

All of you with birthdays these days, or AC, MOON, or Planets in our birth chart at 26 – 28° SAG, are strongly called to align from our loving Heart, with the Heart of Hearts, to follow ultimate Truth, inner Guidance, and trust the inner Soul Light on our Path.

 

On the Winter Solstice intersection of SAG / CAP, we’re also at the Space-Time cross(roads):
SAG rules Space, and CAP rules Time.

Star Cluster in the Galactic Centre (NASA) – at the end of SAG where the SUN travels just before the WINTER SOLSTICE Point

What does it take, to show up simply and ‘magically’ at the right Time at the right Place? To ‘attract synchronicities’?

We increase the odds when we’re in resonance with the Universe, i.o.w., when we follow inner Heart Guidance, the inner teacher who is connected to the bigger sphere, or even ‘simpler’: When we’re in egoless alignment with Integrity as-Nature, and move with LOVE.

The Winter SoUlstice Point is the Space-Time Point, Integrity Point, or Inner Guru Point – here we can find the Teacher and Guiding Light within. 

Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.

SATURN, the ‘obstacle bringer’ teaches us, via ‘what’s in the way’ (hint: old patterns and conditioning, fears and limitations, ego contraction, sense of separateness, and need for control) and where we need to drop the excess ‘baggage’ of these heavy duty engagements.
SATURN crossed just before last Winter Solstice 2017 over the Space-Time Point into CAP (which it also rules), and where it reminds us of what’s real and has priority, and shows us through clear feedback what works and what doesn’t (esp. long term).

And ‘Guru’ JUPITER has just on Dec 2, 2019 crossed the Space-Time Point into CAP.

Reflections for JUPITER now on the CAP side of the Winter Solstice Point:

• What have been the Gifts you received in the last year (and beyond)? Including those in disguise (usually the most spiritually important ones…).
• Which of your inner Gifts have you been shown / reminded of?
• What would be the best way of doing something with them?
• How can this implementation bring out your Best?
  Not to say it’s easy but can be very rewarding – a theme JUPITER in CAP just loves.
• How can your Best serve the Greater Good?
• How does the Inner Light return for you?
• Living by ancient, timeless teachings can be very beneficial – always, esp. in times like these.

 

 

A whole different energy with JUPITER round the GC than with SATURN in the last years:

Rather than dealing with / buying into and needing to unburden ourselves from old conditioning and limitations (SATURN) it’s now a time to find opportunities to bring out our best qualities – and having said NO to the old paradigm sure helps.

 

Blessings for the Galactic RE-Birthday to all of us NOW!

The energy to align with essential deep Truth (the ultimate Gift that comes ‘down the chimney’) so that we can actually Walk the Talk, Implement the Vision, and BE the Truth, the Light, the Love!

 

The SUN will reach the sacred SAG-to-CAP transition, at WINTER SOLSTICE 2019 – this year on Dec 21 at 8:23 pm PST.

Here is the Winter Solstice ‘Birth Chart’:

 

What’s so special about the WINTER SOLSTICE 2019:

 

SO much in CAP!

It leads up to the yearly SUN – JUPITER union – this year on Christmas Day – when we’ll also see a ‘Ring of Fire’ annular Solar Eclipse in early CAP.
Plus, the much anticipated union of SATURN & PLUTO in CAP on Jan 12 is coming.
All 3 cosmic activations point to the End of an Era where the CAP shadow (top-down authority, abuse of power, exploitation, waste….) have been rampant and overall destructive, and the Return & Regeneration of Living in Integrity.

 

Also on the day of the WINTER SOLSTICE:
Spirit of Fire

LEO Rising (on the West Coast), MERCURY in SAG, and CHIRON stationary in early ARIES  – having just turned direct on 12-12.
More opportunity to find and speak our Heart Truth, be authentic, have fun, celebrate, see the bigger picture and the gifts of Life, and share generously.
With the MERCURY – NEPTUNE square, a romantic, dreamy, mystical and musical vibe is on from the Full Moon to Solstice – perfect. It can be also prone to fantasies, illusions, and disappointments when expectations (SAG) aren’t met.
So take it easy, tune into wonder, and sound and song that unites.

 

Celtic Wheel of the Year, with the cardinal Turning Points of the Equinoxes and Solstices, incl. YULE – Winter Solstice

Let’s link up with the deep cosmic energy at this time of year!

And honour ancient traditions – in our Time and Place.

 

Speaking of Space-Time:

Space as we knew it has changed massively and irreversibly (Internet, globalization, worldwide travel boom etc.), during the period when PLUTO was in SAG (1995 – 2008). 

 

Time as we know it is changing now, with PLUTO in CAP (2008 – 2023).
Time is VERY relative, in fact it’s just a dimension that can be also molded, and transcended:
We energetically ‘run out of it’ when we race around in scarcity mode, and, with consumer mentality (esp. before Christmas…), want more of what we don’t seem to ‘have’. Like a ‘hungry ghost’. One of the shadows of CAP (the never satisfied materialist).
In contrast, we ‘have all the time in the world’ when we slow down, and tune into ‘Kairos’ (time-as-quality) rather than ‘Chronos’ (time-as-quantity).

When we tap into ‘Deep Time’, and tune into Heart Time…
One of the best gifts we can give others, to ourselves, and to the World.
A theme that’s up now big time, and to REflect upon, with MERCURY in SAG, and JUPITER / SATURN in CAP!

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.

I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.

Why?
Because it leads to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel connected with yourself in the bigger evolution. Ultimately, you can dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less and less affected, more and more liberated, and self-realized.

The birth chart is an incarnational map to identify your ‘original imprint’and themes that are showing up as ‘issues’ in your life. I help you see how you don’t need to be unconsciously identified with them, and they don’t have to run your life.

I’m always happy to welcome you as a client who is not seeking a ‘reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transitions, stuckness, transformational crisis, or for perspective at a crossroad, dilemma, or empowered choices.

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!

From the Galactic Centre to the WINTER SOLSTICE 2018: Light Returning…

Solsticey Greetings, Cosmic Friend!

 

 

These days, Dec 17 – 19, is the yearly time when (in the Northern Hemisphere) the SUN in late SAG points to the Heart of our Milky Way Galaxy – the Galactic Centre, a dark rift, ‘black hole’, AND a birthing place out of stillness, honoured by indigenous cultures as the Womb of Creation.

All of us with birthdays these days, or AC, MOON, or Planets in our birth chart at 26 – 28° SAG, are strongly called to align from our loving Heart, with the Heart of Hearts, to follow ultimate Truth, inner Guidance, and trust the inner Soul Light on our Path.

 

Star Cluster in the Galactic Centre (NASA) – Heart of our Milky Way, at the end of SAG where from Earth perspective the SUN travels just before the WINTER SOLSTICE Point!

On the Winter Solstice intersection of SAG / CAP, we’re also at the Space-Time cross(roads):
SAG rules Space, and CAP rules Time.

What does it take, to show up simply and ‘magically’ at the right Time at the right Place? To ‘attract synchronicities’?

We increase the odds when we’re in resonance with the Universe, i.o.w., when we follow inner Heart Guidance, the inner teacher who is connected to the bigger sphere, or even ‘simpler’: When we’re in egoless alignment with Integrity as-Nature, and move with LOVE.

The Winter SoUlstice Point is the Space-Time Point, Integrity Point, or Inner Guru Point – here we can find the Teacher and Guiding Light within. 

SATURN, the ‘obstacle bringer’ who teaches us via ‘what’s in the way’ (hint: old patterns and conditioning, fears and limitations, ego contraction, sense of separateness, and need for control) and where we need to drop the excess ‘baggage’ of these heavy duty engagements, was 2015 – 2017 in SAG, and crossed just before last Winter Solstice 2017 over the Space-Time Point into CAP (which SATURN rules), and where it reminds us of what’s real and has priority, and shows us through clear feedback what works and what doesn’t (esp. long term).

Reflections for SATURN now on the CAP side of the Winter Solstice Point:

• Where / how can you find the Sage / Elder in you? 
• What’s your experience of the Ground of Being?
• When all is still and dark, what is undying?
• How does the Inner Light return for you?
• Living by ancient, timeless teachings can be very beneficial – always, esp. in times like these.

 

Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light. 

 

This year, JUPITER is in SAG. It will come close to the Galactic Ctre when it stations at 24°21′ SAG on Apr 10 to go retro from there, and will cross the GC in Nov 2019 before entering CAP on Dec 2, 2019.
A whole different energy with JUPITER round the GC than with SATURN in the last years:
Rather than dealing with / buying into and needing to unburden ourselves from old beliefs and stories that are obstacles and cause separation, with JUPITER in SAG, Deep Understanding, Trust, Heart Truth guiding our Path, the Freedom to live by it, and OpportUnities arise.

 

Blessings for the Galactic RE-Birthday to all of us NOW!

The energy to align with essential deep Truth (the ultimate Gift that comes ‘down the chimney’) so that we can actually WALK the Vision, and BE the Truth, the Light, the Love!

 

The SUN will reach the sacred SAG-to-CAP transition, at WINTER SOLSTICE 2017 – this year on Dec 21 at 2:25 pm PST.

Here is the Winter Solstice ‘Birth Chart’:

 

What’s so special about the WINTER SOLSTICE 2018:
It leads up to a FULL MOON  at the very first degree of CANCER (CAP for the SUN), just 19 hrs later, on Dec 22!

At WINTER SOLSTICE, the waxing MOON will be still in GEM, and the Solstice night will be an almost-Full MOON night (when the lunar energy is even stronger than the day after).
A polarity between the need to belong to a tribe or family, be with children / with the Inner Child, and to focus on priorities and purpose, which may be but doesn’t have to be a dilemma, ‘bridged’ by MARS / CHIRON between them (a square):
SoUlutions come from doing actively something about unity and connection, and surrendering to the healing quality of it. When we connect from the Heart it all comes and flows together, time flies or stands still – either way, it’s magical.

 

Also on the day of the WINTER SOLSTICE:
MERCURY in SAG (coming out of post-retro ‘shadow’) unites with JUPITER, and gears up to a square with NEPTUNE in PI on Christmas Eve, Dec 24.
This alignment is also quite relevant for the U.S., with MERCURY / JUPITER just 3° away from the country’s AC at 12°12′ SAG. 
More opportunity to find and speak our Heart Truth, be authentic, have fun, celebrate, see the bigger picture and the gifts of Life, and share generously.
With the NEPTUNE square, a romantic, dreamy, mystical and musical vibe at Christmas. It can be also prone to fantasies, illusions, and disappointments when expectations (SAG) aren’t met.
So take it easy, tune into wonder, and sound and song that unites.

 

Lastly, on the WINTER SOLSTICE day and the day after:
On Dec 21, VENUS in SCO goes into Water Trine with NEPTUNE in PI – Surfing the Waves of Love…
Then on Dec 22, VENUS in mid-SCO (doubly-SCO energy there) will square LILITH in mid-AQ (doubly-AQ there).
Intimacy and Depth of Love and Connection vs / and? Freedom and Independence?

 

Celtic Wheel of the Year, with the cardinal Turning Points of the Equinoxes and Solstices, incl. YULE – Winter Solstice

Let’s link up with the deep cosmic energy at this time of year!

And honour ancient traditions – in our Time and Place.

 

Speaking of Space-Time:

Space as we knew it has changed massively and irreversibly (Internet, globalization, worldwide travel boom etc.), during the period when PLUTO was in SAG (1995 – 2008). 

Time as we know it is changing now, with PLUTO in CAP (2008 – 2023).
Time is VERY relative, in fact it’s just a dimension that can be also molded, and transcended:
We energetically ‘run out of it’ when we race around in scarcity mode, and, with consumer mentality (ha, esp. before Christmas…), want more of what we don’t seem to ‘have’. Like a ‘hungry ghost’. The shadow of CAP (never satisfied materialist). 
In contrast, we ‘have all the time in the world’ when we slow down, and tune into ‘Kairos’ (time-as-quality) rather than ‘Chronos’ (time-as-quantity).

When we tap into ‘Deep Time’, and tune into Heart Time…
One of the best gifts we can give others, to ourselves, and to the World.
A theme that’s up now big time 🙂 and to REflect upon, with MERCURY& JUPITER in SAG, and SATURN in CAP!

From the Galactic Centre to the WINTER SOLSTICE 2017: Light Returning…

Solsticey Greetings, Cosmic Friend!

 

These days, Dec 17 – 19, is the yearly time when (in the Northern Hemisphere) the SUN in late SAG points to the Heart of our Milky Way Galaxy – the Galactic Centre, a dark rift, ‘black hole’, AND a birthing place out of stillness, energetically honoured by indigenous cultures as the Womb of Creation.

All of us with our birthday these days, or other planets in our birth chart at 26 – 28° SAG, are strongly called to align from our loving Heart, with the Heart of Hearts, to follow ultimate Truth, inner Guidance, and trust the inner Soul Light on our Path.

 

Star Cluster in the Galactic Centre (NASA) – Heart of our Milky Way, at the end of SAG where from Earth perspective the SUN travels just before the WINTER SOLSTICE Point – this year also SATURN!

On the Winter Solstice intersection of SAG / CAP, we are also at the Space-Time cross(roads). (SAG rules Space, and CAP rules Time).

Showing up at the right place at the right time matters, and meets the mark…

What does it take, to show up simply and ‘magically’ at the right Time at the right Place? To ‘attract synchronicities’?

We increase the odds, as it seems, when we are in resonance with the Universe, in other words: when we follow inner Guidance, the inner teacher that is connected to the bigger sphere, or even ‘simpler’: when we are in egoless alignment with Integrity as-Nature, and move with LOVE.

The Winter SoUlstice Point is also the Space-Time Point, Integrity Point, or Inner Guru Point – where we can find the Teacher and Guiding Light within. 

SATURN, the ‘obstacle bringer’ that teaches us via ‘what’s in the way’ (hint: old patterns and conditionings, fears and limitations, ego contraction, sense of separateness, and need for control) to drop that excess ‘baggage’ of these heavy duty engagements, is this Solstice also crossing over the Space-Time / SAG-CAP Point – on Dec 19 / 20.
See fresh Astro~News blog post for SATURN in CAPRICORN.

• Where is the Inner Sage that shows the way, and whom we can trust? 
• What is the Ground of all Being?
• When all is still and dark, what is undying?
• Living by ancient, timeless teachings can be very beneficial – always, esp. in times like these.

‘After’ the Galactic Centre New Moon (Dec 17 / 18), see blog post,  the SUN will reach the sacred SAG-to-CAP transition, at WINTER SOLSTICE 2017 – this year on Dec 21 at 8:30 am PST.

 

Voila – here is the Winter Solstice Chart:

What a potent cosmic Winter SoUlstice Sunrise energy!
Here on the West Coast, it’ll happen just after sunrise, with CAP Rising, and with CAP SUN / SATURN on the Solstice Point united (exact alignment  4 1/2 hrs later, at 1:08 pm PST!!!).
LILITH in CAP is exactly on the horizon, and PLUTO is in the 1st house, coming up on the horizon within an hour after Solstice sunrise.

• How can visions and ideals (SAG) be brought into reality (CAP)?
• What’s the Soul Force (PLUTO) that drives your ‘purpose’?
• What does it always ‘come down to’, have us get up in the morning and ‘do the work’?
• What’s intrinsically rewarding?

 

Celtic Wheel of the Year, with the cardinal Turning Points of the Equinoxes and Solstices, incl. YULE – Winter Solstice, and the fixed ‘Gates of Power’.

Let’s link up with that potent energy that’s available, at this time of year.

And honour ancient traditions – in our Time and Place.

Speaking of Space-Time:
Space as we knew it changed massively and  irreversibly (Internet, globalization, worldwide travel boom etc.), during the period when PLUTO was in SAG (1995 – 2008).

A theme that’s up now big time 🙂 and to REflect upon, under MERCURY retro (Dec 2 – 22, now into retro-to-direct ‘storm’)!

SATURN in CAPRICORN (Dec 20, 2017 – Dec 16, 2020): About TIME…!

SATURN, the Archetype of the INNER ELDER / TEACHER / SAGE  will enter its own ‘mountainous’ domain of CAPRICORN on DEC 19 (Dec 20 AST, and anywhere East of it).

It wants (us) to climb – saying: Humanity, you can do better!

SATURN in CAP until DEC 16, 2020 will shape us up, and help us grow up, to be more fully on purpose, and not waste (anymore) precious time and resources.
2020 btw will be a huge CAP year, with JUPITER, SATURN, and PLUTO – big time structural changes!

 

SATURN has a 29-year cycle, and hasn’t been in CAP since NOV 1989 – JAN 1991, a time of huge structural changes esp. with the Berlin / East German Wall coming down, with a domino effect on Eastern European Communist regimes…

Societally, are we into times of more control, restrictive laws, and authoritarian, ultra conservative regimes?
Definitely a possibility. I trust that LILITH and PLUTO in CAP, ahead of SATURN, are ‘regulating’, and show how empowerment of people (esp. those usually on the ‘bottom of the pyramid’) is now underway, not to be controlled anymore.
JUPITER in SCO this year (Oct 2017 – Nov 2018) also helps to bring out hidden agenda.
And URANUS going into TAU (first brief phase May – early Nov 2018, then from March 2019 on) is a big Wake-up call of the Earth, and of values that matter.
Change is upon us. We gotta step into our natural authority, and not give it away (old mode SAT – CAP).
SATURN in CAP helps us with being resilient, and not give up – when the goal is worth pursuing and attaining.

And it helps us with saying NO to what’s a waste of time and energy.
Apropos energy:
SATURN in CAP is super energy efficient, and therefore into
Refuse – reuse – repurpose – recycle.

 

First things first (a la CAP):
What a Winter SoUlstice this will be, with SUN & SATURN aligned on the ‘Integrity Point, the first degree of CAP (see chart below)!
Hasn’t happened since 1870 that SATURN entered CAP just before Winter Solstice.

Here’s the SABIAN Symbol of 1° CAP:

Chief Seattle

“AN INDIAN CHIEF CLAIMS POWER FROM THE ASSEMBLED TRIBE.

KEYNOTE: The power and responsibility implied in any claim for leadership.

The religious ideal implied in the preceding symbol has now materialized or crystallized into sheer power — the power to lead the community and to ensure its welfare or even its physical survival. The energies released through group cooperation (Libra), deepened and emotionally experienced as forces of great potency (Scorpio), and given meaning and conscious purpose (Sagittarius) are now stabilized and hierarchized. The power of the group is turned into a measurable and carefully managed “capital.” The words “chief” and “capital” come from the same Latin word, caput, meaning “head.”
A time comes in many lives when the individual finds themselves placed in a situation that allows them to assume power over their comrades, however limited this power may be. Is he / she ready to do this effectively and responsibly? This is the supreme test of a human being in society.
It complements its polar opposite (Summer Solstice degree), which refers to the acceptance by the individual of a new kind of allegiance as a foundation for the integration of a mature personality. Such a foundation may, but need not, refer to establishing a home.

This represents the first stage in a five-fold process — the fifty-fifth sequence of five symbols. It refers to the capacity latent in every individual to claim and assume AUTHORITY in a vital group-situation.”

 

SATURN in CAP is clearly about Authority – a notion to claim it where appropriate, and the repercussions of its use (or abuse).
Quite clearly, we’re seeing plenty of evidence of the necessity for responsible leadership and authority, and for the misuse of it. The theme becomes more prominent in the SATURN in CAP years that can also have a heightened karmic effect (SATURN being the ‘Lord of Karma’, in its own domain CAP), across the board.
What / who’s evidently not fit for authority must adjust, or go.
Actually quite simple.
May better leadership and authority establish itself in these years.
What in us doesn’t step UP to the occasion, and assume leadership (because you can, you have the cap-acities)?
What’s in the way of truly leading your life?

 

Ganesha – Elephant headed Hindu god, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles’ on the path, and Guru that takes us from the darkness (of not seeing what the obstacles is / was) to the Light.

Elephant headed Ganesh, known as the ‘Remover of Obstacles on the Path’ is buddies with SATURN, and can be invoked (if you resonate with him), to bring the (actual) obstacles to the light, whatever they may be, and a path to overcome or release them.

Speaking of The Path, SATURN comes out of SAG as it enters CAP.
And SAG is a lot about the Path we’re on.

RE-CAP:
Under SATURN in SAG over the last almost 3 years (since DEC 2014, and fully from SEPT 17, 2015 on) we’ve come to see through the ‘fake’, manipulative agenda, empty promises, and not so much light bringing but perhaps even life threatening ‘stories’ and beliefs. And we were called to be done with our own old stories and limiting beliefs.

Have you been able to cut through and rise beyond that, and be in your intrinsic Truth?
What does that look like now, vs 3 years ago? Comparing before – after is a great SATURN tool.
We’ve been challenged (SAT) to stay focused (SAG) on what matters most, and to come from the Heart (SAG Archer), rather than be pulled into divisive right-wrong polarization. 
SATURN from SAG to CAP – what I call the Integrity Point in the Zodiac – shows:
Being more solidly in our Truth, having cropped and pruned all sorts of BS that’s out there and can waste our time and energy, we see what’s real and meaningful.
Now it’s Time to live in Integrity and mature (inner / outer) leadership!
Rather than judging others we lead by example.

 

11 of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, with the white scarf offered to them by HH the Dalai Lama…

Speaking of maturity, SATURN, esp. in CAP, is also the Elder, the Sage, the Crone Archetype.
A group participant in one of our SATURN into CAP groups reminded us that Crone and Chronos = Greek name for SATURN relate!

“Her own child baring days are past; she is the wisdom keeper, seer and healer and midwife, whose knowledge is sought out to guide others during life’s hardships and transitions.” from: the Goddess Guide that also offers a list of many Crone Goddesses in different cultures (like Ereshkigal, Grandmother Spiderwoman, Hekate, Lilith, Frau Holle…). All of them can be invoked in these times where the Wisdom of the Old can lead us on.

With SATURN in CAP, Elderhood becomes important, and the Elders need to be respected and can help in precarious times, as experienced leaders. 
Societally, issues of old age security will become big, esp. since a big wave of baby boomers retire now.

 

The stakes are high, and Integrity is the key.
Growing-up time for humanity.

Say what you do, and do what you say, be the mature adult, and let SATURN be your accountability coach.
Integrity and accountability – essentially all good leadership qualities (or rather the lack thereof – SATURN’s job is to also show what’s missing, and why it would be so important to re-attain this) are a big deal these days in society, and perhaps also in our personal world. 

 

Vibrant Country Goat

 

If you have a CAPRICORN side in you it gets ‘SATURN-ized’:
SATURN’s TTTTT brings Tests, Tasks, Teaching, and Training, in Timeliness.

 

The following Themes will become important Priorities under SATURN in CAPRICORN:

AUTHORITY:
Who’s the Boss? You are. Bottom line – it’s your life. No one to blame or judge. Wouldn’t that be simple?

LESS is MORE:
End of guilt and ‘shoulds’, taking too much on, feeling resentful... you name it. Heavy, heavy stuff.
SATURN in CAP is quite ZEN about things: Simplicity beyond complexity, on all levels. Quality over quantity. Minimalism becomes more attractive to many.

INTEGRITY:
Say what you do, and do what you say, walk your talk, lead by example, and be the Change you wish to see. Hold yourself accountable, and honour the incremental progress (rather than being hard on yourself), like a good coach.

TIMING:
“…is everything” says CAP which works with the natural seasons of the year and the day, like a good traditional farmer. And yes, there are therefore times of focus and concentrated work, times of play, times of rest. To everything, there is a season, and a reason for the season – for YOU. Remember: with SATURN, you’re the boss, and it’s your time. Just say yes. Just say no.

The LAW:
Living by the Inner, Universal, Natural and Cosmic Laws.
Yet also important reforms of societal Laws that are not a reflection of common sense and constitutional rights will be due.

RESOURCES:
SATURN in CAP teaches us to become masters in resourcefulness (sometimes through necessity) and in self reliance. Perhaps through tapping into the CAPacities of our Ancestors to work with the land and the seasons – CAP rules Agriculture…
The shadow = exploitation of resources, people and ourselves, backfires with karmic SATURN. We only get away with so much, before it comes back at us…
The smart CAP Goat says: “I use. I use optimally what I got. I get (only) what I use. I use everything for the highest purpose.” (applies to everything, any life situation, like: rather than wasting it on the lower vibration of judgment and self judgment, how can we use it as a teaching, or…?)

RESPONSIBILITY:
What is it that we need to be good stewards and guardians of? I can think of a few things… esp. all that Mother Nature provides and makes life on Earth sustainable.
On the other hand, there can be lessons about not to take on what’s not ours to carry (like: by taking over, rather than letting others shape up and mature, or – similarly – by burdening ourselves with other people’s stuff).

MATURITY and AGING WELL:
Being mature and wise, instead of old, judgmental, and rigid. The societal issue (burden?) of an aging baby boomer generation will be a big deal under SATURN in CAP. Anti-aging will be popular – and aging well can be quite simple, by living well – which comes back to self-responsibility.

 

The CAPRICORN constellation is a fish-tailed Seagoat / Goat-Fish(did you know?). 

The CAP Being who has attained mastery on the height of ‘the mountain’ – but not just for their own purpose. The accomplishment / mastery must be made available to ALL (Fish).

Sometimes, this theme turns for our CAP side into the lower vibration of martyrdom.
Keep an eye on it, and say NO when taking too much on FOR others just isn’t right.

…
There are more SATURN in CAP themes…
Like – did you know? –

SATURN relates to the ROOT Chakra.
People with a strong SATURN in their chart are / need to be very grounded, and convert fear (a SATURN expression) into being in the here-now, grounding, and checking in with the physical body and its sensations.

 

 

On the note of Chakras, I’m so happy to announce that there’ll be another ROOT to CROWN Astrological Chakra Journey (first one after 1 1/2 years), starting with a free intro, on Jan 17 – the day after the CAP New Moon. 

 

Voila, here is the Chart of SATURN entering CAPRICORN:

As you see, it’s quite a celestial concentration from mid-SAG to mid-CAP, with MERCURY retro (almost ready to go direct again, on Dec 22 – yet in stationary slow moving / turnaround ‘storm’, VENUS, the late SAG SUN, and then over in CAP: SATURN, LILITH, PLUTO, and on that day also the newly waxing MOON, aligned with PLUTO.

All gathering around the Winter SoUlstice Point of the Cosmic Tree / the Space (SAG) – Time (CAP) point, where we’re called to be at the right time at the right place.

Sounds simplistic perhaps. But can be hugely relevant, and perhaps even sum up Integrity.
What guides us, in this darkest point of the (Northern) year???

LILITH is ahead of SATURN in CAP, and so it PLUTO (SATURN aligns with PLUTO in Jan 2020). 
Therefore, CAP ‘success’, ‘mastery’, ‘resource & time management’ and ‘planning’ must be aligned with LILITH’s Crone Wisdom, and the core of what matters most (PLUTO in CAP).

 

SATURN in YOUR Chart…

…shows where YOU are called to be on Purpose, in your Authority, Self Mastery, and Bring out YOUR Best, which areas of life call you for that (money, children, relationships, travel, career…), in what way (Sign), and in which  other dynamics (Aspects to other Planets).

If you have SUN, MOON, AC, Nodes, or Planets in CAP, and for all of us, where CAP is in our charts, this is a 3-Year Initiation phase to cultivate Living on Purpose, and in authentic Integrity and Leadership from within.
It’s Your Life, and Your Time, and Your ‘Mountain’!

 

Are you in a SATURN Return ‘Generation’?

If you were born between NOV 1988 and JAN 1991 you’ll have your 1st SATURN RETURN (round age 28 – 30).
If you were born between JAN 1959 and DEC 1961, this will be your 2nd SATURN RETURN (round age 57 – 59).
And if you were born between DEC 1929 and NOV 1932 (I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a lot of people out there in that group, since SATURN in CAP is about aging well…) you have your 3rd SATURN RETURN (round age 86 – 88).

Full Circle to be in your Natural Authority, and to bring out YOUR Best!

 

Would you like to join the Astro~EmBODYment of the Winter Solstice and SATURN in CAP?
On Dec 20, all participants step into the energies of the Planetary Archetypes, where they are at Winter Solstice (the slow ones in the years ahead), incl. SATURN, feel out their energy, and share it in a safe circle! So much direct inner guidance can come from being in the EmBODYment.

 

On the first 10 days of SATURN in CAP (Dec 20 – 30) I’ll offer a SATURN in CAP Start-up Message a Day – stay tuned on my FB Page Astrology for Self Realization.

 

Blessings to all of us for a fulfilling and well grounded-out finale of 2017, with SATURN in CAP, and all the other ‘Cosmic Players’!

Melanie

Always, the Inner Compass is the ultimate guidance. Yet some cosmic nudging helps… (and sometimes ‘simply’ gives you permission to follow what’s already calling).

 

ASTRO~EXPERIENCES, via Courses. Workshops, and Embodied Astrology:

Our experiential and embodied Astrology groups have over the last 13 years become quite potent and catalytic.
Come join us, in person here in Victoria, or as an online participant, if deep synergy in an intimate (up to 6 participants) circle speaks to you!

Please find upcoming Astro~Experiences as well as offers, plus almost daily updates (more frequently than here on the Blog), incl. YouTube videos, on my FB Page:
Astrology for Self Realization.
Welcome!

This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gifts of Astrology!
