Astrology is an exploration of energy, tendencies, possibilities, as well as established patterns that can challenge transformation and integration. This blog has many articles on the wide subject of astrology. All weave traditional understandings of the planets with the esoteric and consciousness-maturing aspects and potentials of the same planets. We are this mix; we live this mix, each of us. Cultures and countries do, too. For example, the current conjunction of Neptune and Saturn effects everyone everywhere like an outgoing tide. Moreover, if a person or nation-state or head of state or business has a direct transit with this pair, that entity is well served in admitting that change is unstoppable, is happening, and will dissolve (N) the old (S) in order (S) to succor (N) the Possible (N).  New will arise from authenticity (S higher vibration) and authoritarianism in all its forms (S lower vibration) will fade (N).

If you explore some of the articles linked below, you might notice that my focus tends to be the planets. Why? Putting aside the conundrum of astronomical location of planets versus western/tropical placement, the planets are how each of us lives, breathes, and matures. Mars: blood. Mars: vitality. Mars: excitement or excitability. Mars: volition. Mars: perseverance. Mars: ability to accomplish, complete, or achieve. Mars: bravery in the face of whatever from within or without. Mars: breaking through to enlightenment which is the ultimate protection for all beings and true liberation.  – You see what I mean?!

Each planet is lived: in our anatomy, emotions and sensitivities or lack thereof, in mode of perception, how we create individuated reality as well as participate in collective dream-space reality. Each planet is a Path, a methodology of spiritual practice and a type of consciousness expansion. No planet is malefic; but the blessings and empowerments that each planet holds out open-handedly require the individual (person, culture, state, or business model). Soften and open. Notice the indications of a planet’s potential blessing. Soften and open into the potential. It is actually your spectrum of Being and full expanse of Awareness-Compassion that you are opening into; the planets, then, are merely symbols of Wholeness.

*Please note that, since these are past posts, any mention of a class is also past. No programs are current, only the morning online meditations.

Posts related to planets that highlighted a certain placement or retrograde feature might seem irrelevant now since the planet has moved along into a different sign or is not currently retrograde. In that each article will speak about the range of the planet and the human consciousness, every article holds something for us to ponder and integrate. BTW: Jupiter and Uranus are currently retrograde.
