Aries Season Begins with a Fierce Black Moon in Lilith Conjunction and we Welcome the March 2020 Equinox

Welcoming The Astrological New Year and the Spring/Autumn Equinox

On the 20th of March 2020, at 3:48am UTC, the Sun will enter Aries, which signifies the commencement of a New Astrological Year. We also begin a freshly ignited cycle of the Stars and Seasons whilst honouring the equanimity an Equinox can bring.

Every March Equinox signals the start of the Western Astrological New Year. 


HAPPY NEW YEAR DEAR ONES!

Aries, our lord of the head, the first Star Sign in the Zodiac, our fearless and often naïve Star who is energetic, pioneering, and ready for combat, is now arriving!

With the Sun in Aries, we can begin to associate ourselves more with our projected image, understand better our attitude, our defence mechanisms, how we relate to our immediate environment and what exactly it is we need to kickoff in our lives.  It is the moment to start, to finish and to be ultra quick about it.

An Aries-driven month has a direct and self-involved feel that requests clear planning; otherwise we may get distracted by the hot-hot fire.

Use the first few weeks of Aries Season to accelerate your plans in a charismatic fashion and enjoy the added energy from the ever-shining cosmos! Since most of us are in a lockdown scenario, let us attempt to enjoy this FRESH  start through creative measures, also taking extra care of our bodies and planning for cheerful ways to raise our collective frequency. 

Did you know that in Ancient Greek Astrology, the constellation of Aries is associated with the “Golden Ram” of  Greek mythology  that rescued  Phrixos and  Helle on orders from the god  Hermes, and bore Phrixos to the land of  Colchis.

What is so evidently beneficial about Aries energy is the ability and willingness to LEAD.  If we invoke the support of this fire-lit constellation, we can return to a more confident state (as a whole) and begin anew with a mighty dive through a ring of flames (whilst enjoying it.)

Since Mercury is still in it’s Post-Retrograde shadow period, the boldness to take action will prove beneficial, if planned out first. So, please use this RESET time, to prepare for a courageous leap when the doors start to open.

We now celebrate ALL those born under the Aries Constellation and work with their infectious warrior-like focus.
Happy Birthday to YOU!


May the innocence that is prominent through our Suns entry into Aries, lead us to beautiful grounds, and may we believe in our goals just like the Ram does, never giving up nor slowing down until there is much much glory in the result.

How to Work Spiritually with Equinoxes and their Significance

Since the beginning of almost all belief systems, the cycles of the Sun have had a central and largely symbolic meaning to human beings.   The movement of the seasons shows us our own inner movement from the material to the spiritual, from darkness to light. Against the change of the seasons we mark our own journey through this life and our own quest towards awakening.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the 20th of March is the beginning of Spring and signals a time of rebirth, of new creation, when life dormant over the winter begins to leap back into its full blossoming joy, and when the light divinely returns to all living beings.

It is an occasion of balance and renewal, a period of new beginnings and opportunities.  It is now that the creativity that lay very quiet over the cold months can come exuberantly into renewed energy, and can build towards vital fruition.

We can work with this time just like the Ancients and celebrate the beginning of Spring through song, Sun Gazing, setting our intentions for the New Astrological Year, sit or dance by big warm fires and imagine all the accumulated negativities through the dark of the cold released from us.

Take the time to smell the flowers, like we did on a recent excursion through the local Botanical Gardens. Try to plant something if you can; planting seeds now is a symbolic and also wonderful thing to do. 

Sit with the charming energy of connecting with soil, fresh flowers and Spring returning. Let it fill you up with colourful delight. Let it open you and bring forth your enthusiasm to live and share just how the colours of every flower in bloom and even if this means whilst in seclusion.
 
In the Southern Hemisphere, we now begin the transition to the period of sleep, of inner journeying and introspection. It is also the harvest time, a period when people often feel a sense of yearning and closeness to the immutable spiritual enchantment of nature.  This is called Autumn Equinox.

It is important to note that everywhere in the world, an energetic turning point is taking place on Equinox and it is the moment when light and dark are in equipoise, when the power of the cosmos generously pours down and when the deep and wise rhythm of Mother Earth can be felt in our very bones.   Think of it as a symphony of equilibrium, the perfect, perfect tone which allows the harmony in nature, to better balance our own inner polarities! Our own Yin and Yang energies can be balanced this Equinox, through this melodious turning point, we can walk in the middle ever so consciously.


The world is full of Ancient Sacred Sites that are aligned with the Equinoxes, showing how important the Sun and these transitions are to cultures throughout the world. A few that are most significant and worthy of a Mystical Tour are:


Angkor Wat, Cambodia

The Sphinx and The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt

Temple of the Grand Jaguar in Tikal, Guatamala

The Mnajdra Temples, Malta

Stone Henge, United Kingdom

The Temple of Kukulcan , Mexico

Sharing these precious Reflections
by: Venerable Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche

Reflections on the Time

“Love humanity. Stay in meditation,
Open your heart and shut your mouth. Keep your hands on your lap or in your pockets, and bow when you meet someone. If you hear fears of death and fears of sickness, reflect upon the four rivers of life. If not this sickness or death by this pandemic, death is anyways sure to come-Mostly preceded by illness. What are we doing to prepare for that? Are you ready? If not, what can you do to ready yourself? Have you made up with all those whom you have conflict and disputes with? Have you cleaned out all the crust in your heart? Have you expanded your love to the world and people, animals around you? Have you increased compassion and kindness? Have you said, “I love you,” to your loved ones, instead of assuming that they know? Have you tidied up all your loose ends? Have you become like a bird, ready to soar out from the sheltering bolder? If not, think of this time as an opportunity to prepare both now and for the long run. Humanity will survive, even if one does not. Birds will sing, frogs will croak with summer around the corner. Flowers will bloom. Bees will mate. Let not this natural beauty of the coming season be passed over under the shadow of COVID-19.”

THE BLACK MOON LILITH AND
THE ASTROLOGICAL NEW YEAR


Please note that this Aries Season has a STRONG and FIERCE alignment with the Black Moon Lilith in Aries. The Sun is in a current wide Conjunction with BML and is proving to amplify the power-struggle of the world as we know it. Aries RULES the Emperor Card in the Traditional Tarot, this energy is now summoning TRUE leadership in how we navigate our minds and hearts. The world too, is calling for correct Leadership. With Lilith active, there will be no chance for “nice nice” and what this means is, world leaders better start to take the best of action, if not, there is a cosmic witness who will not let the ill-willed get away with it!  I am actually soon going to be opening up the Lilith in Aries Reading segment and am still at the final stages of the Piscean Reading segment. When this invitation is sent out, I will include my in-depth forecasts on this BML Aries Transit.  The general energy of this Astrological New Year has a rawness attached to it, it is not simply passing us by blindly. There are winners among us, winners who know how to work with the opportunity within this haze. We mustn’t be pulled along in fear or paranoia, there needs to be a constant heart-lit warrior like eagerness to positively Raise The Collective Frequency. Which reminds me, how much I look forward to actually schedule in our next: “Raise The Frequency Global Meditation Gathering.”  In the meantime, please let the Leadership of the Aries Constellation bring forth the power to govern wisely amidst the panic and lead others towards that supreme peace we all know is possible.


COURAGE-FILLED BLESSINGS FOR ALL!


Love and light forever,

The Awakener Uranus Awakens
New Moon and Stellium in Taurus
The Earth Sky
May 15th 2018 Astrology

“The frankincense burns, the Awakener arrives, with his respected shift into Taurus, all compounded things die. There are changes abound, in ways that we cannot comprehend, when the Awakener commands, the world shall bend. Believe in the sudden, the tempting and the light, the electrical frequencies of genius and might. There are inventors to be born and new creations of stealth, gains are possible, as are losses of wealth. Appreciate the Seers, the Shakers and the Lie-Breakers, for it is they who channel his surprise. Do not fall prey to the coming of chinwaggers, their infantile actions shan’t survive. The future times are here; the Awakener is near, Hail. Hail. Hail.” – TarotbyTashi

Hello dear ones,

How are you?

I send you infinite blessings!

Todays New Moon in Taurus shall flip the spectrum of emotive trends. With earthy Stelliums galore, the ground we stand on shall rumble.

You are actually tuning into this cosmic update just as Uranus shifts from Aries into Taurus. Wow!

The slow moving planet was in Aries for around 7 years and now commences his Corrida de Toros like transit. The last time Uranus rode the Bull was around 77 years ago. During that period in time, we were met with the Second World War, The Great Depression, Banking Acts firmly placed as well as things such as the Social Security Act. A series of natural disasters struck our planet in the late 1930’s and early 40’s too….a couple to mention here are The Guangxi Province earthquake and the Vrancea earthquake. I am bringing these historical facts into the present, so that we can get a feel for the energetic themes, when such cosmic vibrations swirl above us.

Under the current transit, there is A LOT of earth-power in our Sky, which should actually keep the wild winds of change grounded and somewhat directional. This insight into what to do, where to go and what to become won’t last long so please journal your persistent motives before the unexpected settles.

Uranus surprises even change and is the one who cannot be predicted. Dare not attempt to nail this awakener down! His frequency purposely shifts when we assume to know anything about it. This lightening bolt of a planet is known to rule the collective’s creative energy and movement; it is the electricity and oxygen that we breathe as well as the vibration that can dismantle form/matter/phenomena faster than a speeding bullet. Some call this planet the “Enlightener” because of the influential ability to awaken in ways that go beyond saying. The unconventional dwells here, all that lives outside the constricting box and all that wins through spontaneous-free-demonstration is Uranus!

Many fellow Astrologers are speaking of revolutions and I won’t omit this at all. I do believe that everything we are working through spiritually and astrologically, up until the year 2020, will give way to various revolutions and truthfully has already started to do so. What is difficult to digest is that the revolutions could cause extreme imbalances within the energetic polarities that make up our world.

The loud divide between the extremes that dwell within dualism seem to congeal and the predictions for the revolutions are in accordance with such extremes. Of course, we will also start to witness very poor regions in our world suddenly become rich as well as changes in policies and structures that can benefit the global set up. This will all however, start to manifest closer to the end of the 7th planet from the Suns bull-ride.

The tangible and the unexpected alterations, over the course of the next 7 years, will target our emotional and practical states of security. What makes us feel safe? Just how comfortable are our comfort zones?…are all questions to consider. Finances are also a major focus under this planetary combination.

The intensified period of this Uranus in Taurus time comes with strong support that should have a lot to present to us until 2020. Uranus will return to Aries for a short while later this year, before making a firm return into Taurus around March 2019. This fiery return into Aries will provide access to the wounds forgotten and support our healing time before the BIG RUN of 2019. There will be much to aim for and fight for as the year unwinds and rewinds until it starts anew. I don’t wish to spring us too far into the future because the current cosmic theme is already a lot to manage. So….how do we make the most of this Stellium Kissed New Moon in Taurus + Uranus’s Entry into the mighty Bull? Do listen to the Audio below!

If your personal Star Map is strongly held by either Taurus, Scorpio, Libra, Aries, Leo and/or Aquarius, do note that you will be feeling the effects of the next few months more forcefully than others. I do recommend that you look at where Taurus and Scorpio sit in your own Star Map because this should pin point some of how Uranus in Taurus will connect with you personally. If you would like to receive an in-depth reading on this transit, you can contact me directly to request this here. I should have openings for a Uranus in Taurus Personalised Astrological Reading come mid July 2018 and will continue to work with the transit throughout the 7-year period. It is normally advisable to see into the transit closer to when it commences and also when it directly aspects your own Star Map.

 

More on Uranus

Uranus rules Astrology and all it can offer, it also rules rebels and the act of evolution. It cuts through any delusion and is the universal spark that ignites an energy that knows no bounds. We are made to “wake up” when this planet is active and can access dimensions that possess greater levels of intelligence. A perfect human example of the planet Uranus would be “Albert Einstein” and a modern day film called “Lucy” captures the infinite-ness of this planets potential.

Since Uranus has now taken a hold of Taurus, we will come to know about so much more of the hidden world and its intelligent systems/functions. We will learn to integrate technology in ways that suit the mundane and not steer us away from it. Perhaps the farming industries will agree to work with healthier means of sustainability and will finally get the environmentally beneficial support that they desire.

We are definitely in for financial losses and gains; such ups and downs will not be easy under this influence. I did write about this aspect a few months ago and here is a useful snippet:

“Whenever Uranus makes a shift, so do we, and the shifts tend to be experienced somewhat ferociously. The trick is to not resist and to collectively understand what is changing before the change actually happens. Let’s talk a bit about this erratic and futuristic planet. Uranus is unpredictable and a very loud messenger. The energy of such cosmic influences cannot be tamed nor understood. Uranus is always in the future, advancing, evolving and managing matters linked to technology, invention and information. This planet praises individuality and vomits at conventions. All that is eccentric, surprising, rebellious and uncanny dwells here. We can often link electricity to this planet as we can lightning, the sky and chaos. Many of us appreciate Uranus for it is never still nor stuck and is constantly encouraging what it touches to take risks and to take action through spontaneity. When Uranus is at the final moments of a 7-year cycle, we must open up to a collective awareness and gather information as to what’s to come. Since Uranus is making a shift into Taurus, we need to ask ourselves how can we learn from the last gifts of Uranus in Aries? How can we let the fire become earth? This icy planet spins from east to west and is lonely in its rotation with only Venus to accompany it. With 27 moons and out of character expressions, the shift from bold and authoritative Aries into Taurus will equal to a lot of financial woes. We need to take control of our finances and practical concerns because when Uranus steps into Taurus some will win big and others will lose all.”

 

A Sweet Mythological Connection

The Ancient Greek Mythology of Uranus is interesting and….I do not think that it is a coincidence that the planet Uranus rotates in the same direction as only Venus. They are lonely but also united in their rotation. I say this to you because in the great Myths, Uranus gave birth to Aphrodite (Venus) and their connection is plentiful. Isn’t it rather sweet that the skies connect them too?
