Tip of the Week:

The Jupiter/Uranus at 0 Aries seed is now germinated and in the early stages of its gestation. The cyclic nature of reality always includes germination, growth, birth or sprouting, growth towards independence then flowering, then growth of the fuller measure of the fruits, talents and characteristics promised by the seed. Growth continues until the flower bears fruit and ripens to its fulfillment. Then the harvest occurs and it is symbolic of the Full Moon and the Opposition aspect in Astrology (180 degrees) – the same angular relationship between the Sun and Moon when it is in its full phase. Like nature, humans undergo this process as well. That we are more complex than plants and undergo multiple overlapping cycles should be quite obvious. Looking to planetary alignments we can see similar patterns and the many cyclic relationships shared between any two planets manifest as synchronistic events here on earth. Many wonder how and why anyone would believe that we are in such relationship with the planets. Thus is the delusion of the lower mind assuming that we are simply ‘in’ nature and mercilessly subject to it verses the fact that we ‘are nature’, one of its many expressions and so one with it. It’s an old story but the lower mind, the ego, is persistent and stubborn. The mystics of old and the advances of science now have assured us of our inherent communion with life yet there remains this belligerent attitude to deny the implications of this fundamental truth. Thus many live short, relatively selfish, desperate, distracted rather uninteresting and unconscious lives hoping for more; more pleasure, more time, more money more success, comfort, security and assurance that the short cycle that we call life is not all there is. Due to our imbalance and disconnect with nature in an essential and reverent way, we are killing the environment. Astrology ‘proves’ that we are one with nature? Perhaps this Jupiter/Uranus seed conjunction that occurred on June 8 will produce the flowers and fruit of new wisdom for us to see the obvious. We are one with nature and it encompasses the entire universe and our big/tiny solar system is our local cosmic environment.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

Ready or not… Change is the law and it is knocking at you front door. It is compelling you to take deliberate action. Are you ready to go to work? A whole new level of commitment is rising for you.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Healing on relationship fronts is a current theme. There is a simple rule in life, if you are involved at all you are responsible for being there. Playing the victim is a ploy of the ego.
