Eclipse Season commencements with Mars and Mercury Squaring Saturn in Aquarius whilst Conjunct in Scorpio November 10th 2021

Star Medicine TarotbyTashi 2021 Nov 10

When Scorpio and Aquarius meet in such a manner, we are negotiating with a vicious bipolarity that cannot be tamed through logic. What many of us forget is how an Aquarian driven Saturn is just as stubborn as all the Scorpionic force we have available in our skies right now.

Hello dear hearts,

How are you?

As the Mars and Mercury conjunction blasts its way into the 10th of November and simultaneously squares Saturn, please do not expect this week, leading up to the partial Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on the 18th/19th to be that of an easy one.

Scorpio intensity meeting with the Aquarian energy riffling through Saturn is a mess of its own.

If the days are heavy-weight, confrontational, slower paced and yet full of irony, connect it to the message of these planetary events and give way for working with those skeletons in our closet.

When Scorpio and Aquarius meet in such a manner, we are negotiating with a vicious bipolarity that cannot be tamed through logic. What many of us forget is how an Aquarian driven Saturn is just as stubborn as all the Scorpionic force we have available in our skies right now.

So, what is the actual tension all about? Could it be that such conjunctions and squares are fighting for the same King? I would like to think so but there is actually a catch, and we are all going to be potentially deceived by it.

Before I announce in red-writing what the catch here is, could we take a sweet moment to examine just how impatient we are becoming? If we are noticing our anxieties, needs and expectations getting raised without explanation, we can too, connect this to the “oh so intense” cosmic condition.

There are a handful of reasons for this fuss and one of them is ”another voice” that wishes to speak. If we just take the time to listen, or rest enough to let the communication process through us, the entire approach to this Eclipse Season should firmly align.

A dear friend of mine has made her way into the mountains to simply be, the call for solitude and contemplation are speaking to her. I concur, as such planetary influences need all the quiet and aloneness we can get. They are not silent diggers of our fates! These planetary influencers are the bigger players when it comes to what makes and shakes this world, we need to know how strongly placed such squares and conjunctions can be, as well as the “leap of opportunity” that is often underestimated within them.

If we read my own Diary entry from the last few days, it would read how heavy things have been atmospherically and, how hard it has been to adjust to the cosmic condition well-enough to enable its opportunities. You would also read about the weather itself and how the grey in the Sky strengthened as Saturn’s squaring approached. I wrote in bold: “please do not condemn your anxieties, needs and impatient demands, for them to be calling out to you with more emphasis proves of their importance.”

Going over this with you now confirms that we have to enthusiastically apply a gentleness as all of this dirt starts to become visible. I am not solely referring to a personal level here, a lot of collective dirt is about to present itself and as that becomes apparent, I do not think it is going to be easy for us to all emit tenderness, but we are going to have to try.

It is going to be natural to witness flair ups of power-struggles, the blame game and long put to rest disappointments resurface. We will too, hear about just how fed up so many of us are and borderline incapable of marching on with the same optimism that was present when 2020 first started.

The Catch is however: “to not assume the exhaustion a permanent phase, to not get comfortable in the will of stagnation. We will be deceived if we think this slump is part of the long-term cosmic condition for it is not.”

Since we rarely can control the pressure-cooker like experience of Eclipse Season, let us do what we can to be present for how it wishes to exchange with us. As many Astrologers are saying, this month is cosmically noisy and so will the dying portion of the year be. In apprehending all of this, you may stumble into that ticket of opportunity and unleash what both Scorpio and Aquarius have in common: “POWER.”

Even though the Planets are currently challenging they are simultaneously empowering, and Scorpio won’t shy away from the challenge, Scorpio organically thrives when provoked.

Let’s pick up the pieces of where our POWER currently lives by noting down where the Scorpio/Taurus axis is situated in our Star Maps. To understand how the lessons will unfold for us personally, let us make a note of where Aquarius and Leo is.

Whatever rugged sense of progress is in the air, appreciate the grounding because whether Saturn in Aquarius likes it or not, Mars, the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio are going to kick that discipliner in his bottom. Uranus in Taurus as well as the upcoming Eclipse is supporting this.

What exactly happens when Saturn gets a big kick in the bum?

Well,

He no longer manoeuvres the fates so rigidly.

He will have to negotiate.

So, I guess what this means is, NO World War 3.

Love, Light and Cosmic Conditions,

Tashi

Ps. As we are magnetised towards the Taurus Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse, “things” will matter. I am talking about literal, useful and collected things. What we own, our possessions, what makes us feel safe, our self-worth, our bare and naked essentials, all of what we refer to, our references and above all, that which we earn to survive. As these themes start to make noise, please keep a pen and paper handy as there will come a time, wherein you will need to remember. If you ask me personally, I am sincerely looking forward to this Eclipse Season.

August 2017 Astrology
Total Solar Eclipse
The Rishi Stars &
The Way of The Heart

We are approaching the end of a powerful Eclipse Season Vortex, with less than 24 hours until the Final and Total Solar Eclipse arrives. There is so much to go over and yet so little words to communicate just how mighty this time will be. Let us witness history together, joining hearts and preparing to never see anything again, as it was or as it is right now! When the Sun dances in Leo it dances in its most prized and powerful place, predictions and magical convictions are all underway. Let there be light, a blazing light of renewal. Yes, let there be light!

Hello dear ones,

The Total Solar Eclipse in Leo is just around the corner and this in-between Eclipse time is moments away from coming to an end. I don’t know if I want it to end, and I want to talk about why.

It’s been almost 3 years since I have seen my mother. It actually feels a lot longer than that. I didn’t expect to see her so soon, during such Astrologically significant times and in the condition I was in. Seeing her face always gives me the sweetest hope. I have never met a more positive and openhearted person. Seeing her makes me want to curl up in a warm bed and sleep a deep and restful sleep because I know I am safe.

As you may recognize, I have lived so much of my life alone, far away from family and many that I love and cherish. It was never really a choice; it was more along the lines of my destiny…to be zapped out of a typical family setting and hermit myself through life and it’s countless songs. From the age of 12 I was already independent and had to be. By 15 I was travelling the world and never really stopped. No, I didn’t do any of that with Mum and often wished I could. It was really only me for the most part. Me and the wind and the water and all the other elements! I had my purpose of-course and wishes that extended further than just necessity yet I never, ever wanted to leave her. I bring this all up because these current times have a lot to say about our deepest and truest relationships (including our relationship with ourselves.)

They have much to say about how we really feel about those we love most and bring to light the areas we have so strangely ignored. It is not because we need to rethink anything or understand it; it’s just a time to clearly release ourselves from how we were. Or in better words, to free ourselves from projections of how we wanted things to be / ourselves to be.

A lot gets locked away; the subconscious is full of endless trails that lead to endless caverns and it is not easy managing all of what is hiding beneath. I mean, how can we if we have a day job to maintain, kids to feed and our basic needs to attend to?! The subconscious hollows are not areas we can just tap into nor comprehend overnight but we need to remember that such hollows must not be flouted. Such hollows are the key to good health, our awakening and many other alchemical treats! So, make it possible to explore them and to listen when they speak.

This is a period where quite a BIG LOVE is needed, the center stage and loud kind of love. If we have been holding back to give a little more, to love a litter louder, well, there is no need for that. Love is all there is, I believe it and always will. I mean, doesn’t it come back down to that? Isn’t it the love we seek, whether it is altruistic, romantic, physical or spiritual?

It is – isn’t it!

You see, we demand love in what we eat, in the way we dress, in how we get things done at work or when we are simply trying to unwind. We search for it through our favourite Netflix shows and in a melody. Some of us look for it in more obvious places, like in the warm embrace of a loved one, yet all of this happens and who knows if we even notice.

The point is, this LOVE you seek needs YOU.

Have you thought like this before?

To really get to this Lighter State of Being a leap of faith is needed, a leap that requires the courage of a Lion and the view of an Eagle. This Solar Eclipse in Leo will support you if you choose to give yourself back to LOVE. And what is love?

The way of the HEART!

Yes, the way of the HEART is calling you back. Not in an emotional way but in a way that is noble and fair. The heart is noble and when left to rest in its natural state it will explode in generous gestures that will not omit anyone or anything.

So why do I not really want this Eclipse Vortex to end?

Because… it is pouring onto us, quite forcefully what we really need and it is ripping away all that we do not. I appreciate amplified cosmic help and appreciate it even more when we work with the themes correctly.

Ok, yes, a finish line makes sense and we are really almost there. I just need to remind you that what we should be valuing here is all the insights that have tickled our core in the last 6 weeks and especially in the last 2 weeks. We need to value the intensity of how we have been feeling and even if it doesn’t make any sense we must somehow find a way to learn from it, or record it to reflect over at a later date.

The influences will continue to churn until early October though what we have established during this Eclipse Vortex time is really the FEATURE.

Some Practical Tips:

Eclipses force us into action and never take NO for an answer. When in an Eclipse Vortex it is the perfect moment to allow major changes and to be receptive to them even if they are appearing cruel, eventually the results will be kind.

This Total Solar Eclipse in Leo will take place on the 21st of August between the hours of 3:30pm and 9:10pm UTC.

Total Solar Eclipses are rare and to put a little more zest into this, the Sun rules Leo so therefore the effects of this Eclipse will be amplified even more so.

The Sun also rules our persona, what we project onto the world, our characteristics, who we wish to be, our creativity, the ego, our traits and initiatives. The Sun in Astrology is a major influencer and one to respect so in this case, we are being asked to see ourselves clearly and from the heart. If we see ourselves clearly we will also be able to then see the truth around intimate situations or anyone who is linked to ones identity. There are strong cosmic requests around healing certain bonds and allowing ourselves to feel for those we love, to not block out feelings because they are too painful or overwhelming. We really need to feel for those we love or have lost and let the healing rays in.

The post Aquarian Full Moon Eclipse energy is telling us to basically prepare to be reborn during this New Moon in Leo / Total Solar Eclipse and emerge from what may have felt like being rushed off in a haze somewhere in the lonely desert. We have been wandering in the quantum field of a powerful Eclipse Season Vortex with intense groundless-ness smashed up by Mercury retrograde, along with 5 other planets keeping us on the inner and silent journey. What planets are these?

Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Chiron and Pluto

This is indeed absurdity at its finest hour and we are almost there, at a needed conclusion.

The Aquarian Full Moon Lunar Eclipse flushed out so much useless information, old energies and habits that really were not helping us. Many are continuing to deal with the release of these energetic blocks and are trying to work with ancestral cleansing. Some of what may have come to light would have challenged us deeply. Yet we must carry on forward and trust in the support for renewal in ways that are not comprehensible on an intellectual level. We are being driven to Lighter States of Being and need this deep elimination of the muck – however it emerges.

Through the portal of the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo at 28 degrees and the last rays of this Star, a surge of confidence to see us clearly will emerge and through that knowing a renewal will be possible. All intimate relationships and what is linked to our identity are under deep investigation. Matters long hidden or situations we thought were already dealt with will resurface for a final evaluation.

In the momentary darkness brought on by the presence of this Solar Eclipse, a magical gateway that will support truth and the way of the heart will appear. The inner works we have been yearning to complete, the years of accumulated subconscious callings and missed opportunities to evolve are all available again NOW to act upon. It is really remarkable what can be accomplished in as little as 5 hours of this Eclipse, if we just sit and feel it out, so much will be possible. We can relax and start by making the best of aspirations and prayers for our universe followed by some serious sitting. When I say sitting I mean being still and letting the mind rest, this will allow clarity and a sincere present moment understanding. After this you can write down what appears and close your sessions with some loving dedications. There are so many ways one can work with this energy however it really is optimal to dedicate sometime to be still and feel it, let it flow through you and clean you whilst you rest your mind and watch your breath. The intention needs to be clear and as you already know, the intention is for the benefit of the entire universe, this should be your mindset and aspiration before commencing.

I see this as quite the pinnacle, and not something that can be easily described in words so therefore have selected a song that captures a lot of what this Eclipse is trying to say. The only lyrics in this song are as follows, please listen and try to do so LOUDLY…..

“When I listen to the old voice of my blood that sings and cries remembering past centuries of horror, I feel God, who scents my soul and in the world I keep on sowing roses instead of pain.”

….some closing points

The Rishi Stars will return to us again next month. According to Tibetan and Vedic Astrology there are clusters of seven stars called the Rishi Stars that appear once a year – usually in September. This year (according to Tibetan Astrology) the Rishi Stars will be blessing us from September the 9th until the 15th.

Lama Dawa Rinpoche explains that according to a Hindu legend, these stars (called Sapta Rishi – the seven Rishis) were once great sages of the past, who, upon their death, rose up into the heavens and became these stars. When they are visible in the night sky, their light is said to possess special healing powers that transform all water into healing nectar. Typically, Tibetan Doctors and healers would place buckets of water outside during this time, and then use this water for making their medicines.

Another way of benefiting from this healing water is to bathe in pools, ponds or rivers during this time. One could collect water in buckets and use that for bathing. Any water – whether it is ocean, river, stream, or water in pools, is imbued with the healing qualities of the Rishi Stars. This water can be used to make healing tinctures, or for giving to pets and plants. Even the water in our own bodies can be blessed and purified by this special healing energy by exposing our body to the night sky when the stars are out.

We will be Raising the Universal Frequency on the 21st of August 2017 between the hours of 6pm and 8pm UTC. You can learn more about this free event here:

Please continue to take part in Freeing Lives, August is a highly beneficial time to do so. If you want to know more about what this means, please read the part 1 of my 2 part Astrological post for August here.

With anything but logic available, let the fires of renewal burn and dance yourself a passionate dance. The fire is burning now, with so many planets joined by fiery Stars, we cannot avoid the heat nor the truth of expression that Leo is offering. All that is unnecessary can be eliminated now and all that brings on fear, hate and aggression must be faced with noble clarity. We must combat these poisons with LOVE, a love that is large and wide, that fears not and acts gracefully. These times command this wide and grand way of the heart. Just being still, and feeling it all flow through you, will be enough to allow the giant change and evolution of being.

Thank you so much for being a part of all of this with me.

Please feel free to share your thoughts and questions here.

May all be auspicious!

Love and light,

August 2017 Astrology
Eclipse Season Vortex
& The Freeing of Lives

We have just entered the Eclipse Vortex, held by the Aquarian-Leo axis and spun by Jupiter and Saturn. Everything we do from the 7th until the 28th of August must be Sacred. This time expands time, bends time and loosens its grip. Let the interstellar influences support your Eclipse Season transformation!

Hello dear ones,

How are you?

Greetings from my birth land and loving salutations from this hollowed dimension.

Wouldn’t you call Aquarians and Leos extreme opposites? I know I do! And…can you imagine how radical an Eclipse Vortex would be, held by such opposites? Well, here we are, entering this mad and activated season.

Many of us have been looking forward to the final Eclipses of 2017 and to be honest, there really isn’t a better way to close the bright red curtains. I mean, we are bowing out with a Total Solar Eclipse in Leo and what rules Leo? The Glorious Sun!

This is a magnetising time and a time for closure of all sorts. It is also a time to think of the bigger picture and our immediate communities. With a partial Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius that took place on the 7th/8th, we are being requested to think of our global impact, how we are contributing as a whole and if we contribute enough, for the greater good that is!

Aquarian Moon energy is unpredictable and extremely wise. There is a futuristic element to everything Aquarius and no matter what we know; Aquarian stars are always 10 steps ahead. Thankfully, this wisdom is in our favour now and if we are in positions of power, it really is the moment to speak up, to share what is true and needed so that the larger masses can receive some benefit.

Please work with this energy to contemplate on all of our worlds First Peoples, the Aboriginals for example, the Indigenous beings from every corner of our globe, The Gypsies who evolved from Rajasthan or anyone who you feel a sincere connection with that embodies the wisdom of our worlds First Peoples. Think of how you can learn from their knowledge and how you can share some of this needed information with others during this powerful Astrological season. Even if you are simply quoting a passage, reading a book, planning a fundraiser or attending an event, whatever the act under such influences, it will not go unnoticed! In my case, I plan to spend some time in Uluru and complete Divinations from there. I also aspire to share some moments with the Indigenous Australians who I missed so much. Here is a little hymn I wrote whilst flying over the Blood Red Desert:

That was my view from the other morning, whilst crossing several seas and hovering high above a land I cherish and call my birth place. It’s interesting how a land can claim you, how it can anchor your spirit after longing for something you didn’t know was missing. I travel a lot, I have been doing so since I was 1 month old and yet very few lands scream to me, very few lands say “hey, – you’re mine.” I can’t say I feel comfortable with being claimed, I do however love the feeling of an old song, a melody that captures countless echoes of songs well sung. I love the Sunrise Rainbow over the Blood Red Desert and its majestic respect to my endless departures. A good land lets you leave yet loves you even more when you return. A good land doesn’t grasp at your heart but lets you fly away trustingly. I see the Morning Star rise above this Thirsty Ruby Desert and I cry. The timelessness never left it and nor did the gates of ZangdokPalri. Keep singing to me sweet and cherished land beyond time, where sleeping is hard yet living awake is forever.”

Another mighty good things to do under this Aquarian Lunar Eclipse influence is the act of “Freeing Lives.” This is something I was kindly taught from my spiritual teachers and if you want to know more about this do email me. One thing that is for sure, anyone can do it and the base of this beautiful act is “Divine Intention.” What I can say now is, if you buy any animals that were destined to be killed and release them into their natural habitat, with the intention that they are freed from suffering, that is enough! I know people who do this with Crickets (even if they are factory produced) or fish for example. The point is to free the being from its untimely death. Another nice way to call this is “Saving Lives.”

As you can see, this Lunar Eclipse demands some healthy consideration, some extra thought about how much plastic we use, do we really need all the lights on? is it time to start a compost? And… lets give away more things to the poor.

The cool and detached Aquarian star sits quite high, and when in the mood lets the emotions flow through the mind like a filter. “Do we really need to hold on to so much emotion?” asks Aquarius and… the correct answer from the world should be “NO”.  So, let it ALL go, let it out, release the past, the muck and the useless self-involved thinking. Adjust yourself to the wave of a grander view that doesn’t fall to the ground like a mat to let everyone step on it. Instead, lead through your example, an example that does care and connect (without the sticky bits) and without the expectation. Fly high like an Eagle, see it all from up there and see how tiny it really is. Think big; think about everyone and everything – this is the point.

An Aquarius Moon will start a lot but not be there to worry about how it ends, so start! Do not worry about outcomes, please just start! There couldn’t be a better time to clean out all the unwanted residue of our own expectations that were not fulfilled and instead sow some new seeds of victory. Start anew from within and be open. Aquarius really wants you to be open.

How to work with this Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius

  • Transform subconscious blocks or fears
  • Think of the bigger picture
  • Free some lives
  • Work from a higher perspective
  • Protect the mind
  • Invent
  • Start anew emotionally
  • Unresolved karmas will appear now for a final clearing
  • Meditate to stabilise the overflow of energy
  • Write

The influences have only just begun to impact us and will last for quite sometime so please keep this information on file. Lunar Eclipse energy can last up to 3 months and depending on where this sits on your own Astrological Birth Map, the influences could last a lot longer.

I suggest we ease into this mood, this uncanny and cosmically expansive mood. Lets just sit with it over the course of the next 4 days and feel how it works with us. It will be surprising and clever; so don’t be alarmed if the unexpected happens. Just ease into it!

This is the Part One of a 2 Part post that I will conclude later this month. What I wish is to hear from all of you and to learn about how this Eclipse Vortex is unfolding in your world! Please comment here or post your questions. I will be delighted to answer them.

Finally, if you have the time we will be Raising the Universal Frequency on the 21st of August 2017. You can learn more about this event here:

www.facebook.com/raisethefrequency

https://www.tarotbytashi.com/raising-the-frequency/

Do note that Sirius will be rising in the night sky ever so brightly after a 70+ day absence. Sirius wants us to be careful what we wish for and to only wish / aspire for the best whilst being open to the bigger picture. You should be able to see Sirius shine his bright blue rays on the 8th night. An empowering night if you ask me. Make the most of it.

Sending you so much love from here,

Tashi

An Astrological Update
10th February 2017

Hello dear ones,
How are you?

Did someone say Lunar Eclipse in Leo?

Yes, you heard correctly and we can expect to see the Full Moon grow darker from approximately 22:30 to 03:00 UTC on the 10th to 11th.

Many expect this to be a Total Lunar Eclipse but it will only be visible as a Penumbral Eclipse. It’s actually not often that the Astrologers I know over do their statements about cosmic events and when they do I automatically think it is for a useful reason.

To me, this Eclipse WILL have the power of a Total Eclipse.

The fact that this Lunar Eclipse is in such a potent and solar powered sign like Leo equals to a very auspicious union of energy.

The Eclipse will amplify dramatic levels of awakening for so many and will not let us rest until we step into the limelight of our own creative passions including loving more, giving more, receiving more and allowing our hidden talents to be recognised.

In order for some of us to learn we may get slapped around by the energy of this obviously fiery time. We need to be careful to not have any accidents or injuries and instead aspire for confidence to face the jewel that is being offered here. It is a jewel because it has a high dosage of truth attached to it and the fire element in Astrology cannot wait for us to “get it” or “understand” it just takes action even if we are ready or not. This is why wishing to NOT MISS the blessing of this Eclipse and the awakening support it provides is needed.

We are entering a time of nobility and making good use of our common sense between right and wrong. Sometimes it really is as basic as yes and no or black and white. We either like something or we do not, we either behave or we do not, we either walk away or we continue on and the black and white, clear-cut truth is ever so available now.

To work with this energy we need nobility and action, to act from a place of sincerity and to not care too much about what “needs to appear correct” on an external level. Being noble is about being honest and most importantly maintaining a sense of dignity or truthfulness.

A lot of fame can come from this astrological time and when we look into the meaning of the word FAME we can find a deeper significance. Let us challenge this now… when you hear the word fame, what does it mean to you? Do you automatically assume it means to have some form of public eminence? Is it only a word that refers to outer recognition? The dark side of Leo demands to be known, to be heard and to be seen. When the Leo energy is used correctly it goes beyond popular interest and enters a healthy land of nobility. Nobility is fame without the effort and without the expectation! Learn from this and you will find your magnificence.

The benefits of this Eclipse and how to use it:

  • start to do more of what we really want and be more of who we really wish to be
  • focus on creative projects and passions
  • have a tantrum of truth, let it all out, scream and cry (with an episode of laugher a few hours later)
  • dance more and express through the arts
  • make a movie, write a story, sing a song and be heard
  • open our hearts to our community, to our world and hear how much wants to be expressed. the world is talking and we need to listen
    allow recognition for a job well done and give credit to oneself where needed
  • appreciation is so important and to not take what is precious in our lives for granted. this eclipse wants us to share our love and true feelings without pride or fear
  • be extremely generous and try to give at least once to someone you do not know and may not ever see again. any gesture of sincere generosity is encouraged
  • be confident and magnetise the better parts of you

This IS a very boosting time astrologically but it is just that things are moving so fast and the power that is dancing in the air may intimidate us. We need to remember to not be scared and to keep it simple. If you want to avoid the dark side of a Leo infused Lunar Eclipse the trick is to keep it simple. Use your common sense and have valor when taking action.

There are already enough dark sides of this moon being activated on a global level and since we (the common people) are still the majority, we must use this power by being sincere and keeping the flame of noble-heartedness alive.

What use is a world of hate? What use is a human life if we do not use our ability to empathize and actually care for others? The times are too messy now to even begin to comprehend so it is wiser to keep it simple and be proud to still know right from wrong. We need to be proud to still be able to feel what is beneficial or not, to be able to recall what is love and to still have a choice, a freedom of how to be!

There is definitely cosmic magnificence available and this Eclipse commands it so…please please please, walk through the fire of feelings and you will begin to feel beneficially alive again. This is because you will learn to express at levels you yourself forgot was even possible. All of this loud and vibrant truth is needed before the Solar Eclipse in Pisces on the 26th.

It is actually rare that we are given the chance to burn with a soothing rain to follow. If we trust in this fire, the rain to come will pacify and not drench us. The soothing rain is the Eclipse in Pisces and in order to be ready, all of this is needed first. May it be a healing, fun and clarity bringing time with many blessings.

For more information on these Eclipses click here.

Anyone who has a strong Leo, Aquarius, Virgo or Pisces placement in their Birth Chart will feel the impact of these times most and please note that the influence of Eclipses lasts several months. How we apply ourselves this February will influence many of the months to come.

If you need to make serious life changing choices, this is the month to do it and it is also a month full of blessings that will support what we really need. I encourage everyone to use the in-between Eclipse time for reflection, prayer and cutting cords where necessary. This in-between eclipse time (the 11th night to the 25th night) is one of the most powerful in-between Eclipse periods that we will get to taste for a long stretch. The grandness of the intergalactic support for those who really wish to advance spiritually is at a peak now so please use it carefully.

For more information on how these times are affecting you personally you can request an Astrological Reading. I am taking bookings for Mid March onwards.

We will be Raising The Frequency again on the 26th from 3:30pm UTC and you can keep up to date about this here:

www.facebook.com/raisethefrequency

Feel free to contact me with your thoughts and feelings. It is important to share and connect with each other whenever we can.

I will be working again from Mid March however do know that you can connect and share whenever you feel.

Greetings from the Oracle of Delphi in Greece!

Hello dear ones,

How are you?

Greetings from the Oracle of Delphi in Greece!

Here we are smack bang in the middle of the final Eclipses to grace 2016. We are also about to witness the glory of the Rishi Stars (Big stars of Ursa Major) and numerological facts tell us that 9/9/2016 is the mark of the end to a long cycle of heavy “loop like” toxic patterns.  Can I mention that Mercury is in retrograde now too and all our planets are doing very awkward things!

It really is a time to introspect and look up at the sky, attempt a little retreat as well as just be quiet with oneself. This upcoming and final Eclipse of 2016 will change allot for many and in our world. The world will seem VERY different after November and our universe is preparing us this very second for that major shift. I suggest we continue to make blessed aspirations and pray with all our hearts. The cosmos want us to honour nature now, to connect with the Earth and listen to the voices of where we stand. We need to shut out the fabricated noise for some hours and listen to the wind, feel the air, its loud loud song and how the earth responds to it. Watch a fire burn, the crackling will enliven us and bring us strength. Sit by a body of water and long for clarity and see how swiftly it will purify fears.  Numerous insights will shine forth for us during this time. In-between Eclipse energy is ever so mighty so let us work with it now for the greater good!

This water can be used to make healing tinctures, or for giving to pets and plants. Even the water in our own bodies can be blessed and purified by this special healing energy by exposing your body to the night sky when the stars are out.

Numerological importance of 9/9/2016:

The 9th day of the 9th month in a number 9year (9-9-9) is probably the most powerful day in 2016 according to numerology. The number 9 is said to represent karma, karmic debts, endings, completions, deep spiritual understandings and releasing the old so what is new can emerge. The death of unnecessary habits, beliefs and defenses is always traumatic but such deaths are necessary if we want to move into the new numerological vibration that will begin in 3-4 months. This powerful day really does mark the end of what no longer serves a purpose in our life and uproots all that is dry or left to rot in the dark. Use this day to bring light into the wish for newness. The energetic journey will ascend to clearer perspectives if we are willing to see the truth and allow certain ends to take place.

A little on TarotbyTashi in Delphi:

Many of you may already know how deep my roots are in Greece. I try to pay homage as often as I can to this enchanting land and tend to cry for it when away.

At present, I am at the end of a little writing project here in Delphi and am making use of this precious time completing divinations too. I made an effort to collect some sweet treasures blessed here to present in a cute Gypsy Caravan Sale. Attached to this email are a couple images of some charms that I am selling. There are limited pieces though am happy to receive emailed interest and can post internationally. The charms you see here are gold plated and made in Greece. The charm is called a “Mati” or in English “Evil Eye” and I will include specifics on the magical importance of such charms below. As for Delphi, I’m currently booked up to complete many more readings however I shall return in October and am taking bookings now for then! If you would like to receive your divination from Delphi please email me so I can book you in. I will also be revisiting a favourite spot of mine called the Oracle of Dodona (the oldest Oracle in Greece) and look forward to connect from there too.

The TarotbyTashi Mystical Tour program for 2017 is almost complete and the spotlight will indeed be Ancient Greece! 

There is always so much to share and I look forward to share more soon (especially about the upcoming and final Eclipse of 2016).

Have a transformative September and all my best of aspirations.

Love and light,

Tashi

Symbolic Significance of Mati / Evil Eye:

The evil eye is something like a curse that is cast by a malevolent glare and usually given to a person when they are not noticing. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury. Talismans created to protect against the evil eye are also called “Evil Eye” (such as the charms below).

The idea expressed by the term causes many different cultures to pursue protective measures against it. The concept and its significance vary widely among different cultures and primarily in West Asia. The idea appears several times in translations of the Old Testament. It was a widely extended belief between many Mediterranean and Asian tribes / cultures. Charms and decorations with eye-like symbols known as Nazars, (which are used to repel the evil eye) are a common sight across Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Southern Italy (Naples), the Levant, and Afghanistan.

Classical authors attempted to offer explanations for the evil eye. Plutarch’s scientific explanation stated that the eyes were the chief, if not sole, source of the deadly rays that were supposed to spring up like poisoned darts from the inner recesses of a person possessing the evil eye. Plutarch treated the phenomenon of the evil eye as something seemingly inexplicable that is a source of wonder and cause of incredulity.

Wearing an evil eye charm wards off evil, jealousy and negativity. It is said to wear one made from a land that honors the magic of intention behind such charms and not to purchase evil eyes that are factory made for business only purposes.

Full Moon in Aquarius (Almost Lunar Eclipse)

Where does it come from, this will to continue? Does it stem from our nature; an inevitable fact? Does it arise from our sophisticated pride? Is it caused by our unavoidable responsibilities? Or…. are we simply idealistic beings always believing that something better will come about?

This Full Moon will have us pondering on such questions and will provoke us to look at the GREATER PICTURE, to see and feel how linked up we are to so much more than just ourselves.

Bravo to so many of us who recently had to make life changing decisions and considering this planetary influence the decision would have been surprising. I can assure you though that most decisions made around this Full Moon will put us straight back onto the right path.

In Astrology we are compelled, influenced and tickled by the planets and stars. This statement seems to negate free will however if we ask the question “has mankind the ability to overcome the pressures of the cosmos” the answer would be yes.

There is always s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g manipulating and maneuvering our every second yet we regularly forget just how “out of control” we actually are. It is time to be a little more aware of the every day pushes and pulls and Astrology can help.

To work with Astrology assists us in knowing how to make the most of certain elements, influences and cosmic events. It teaches us (if worked with properly) what energetic waves to surf on and when.

I bring this all up now because we have indeed entered Eclipse season and our planetary influences will be crowning over the next 10 weeks. I will have much to say and share about this as the weeks pass.

Thinking about all this, know that we can overcome the grandiose pressures of the cosmos if we choose to work with the supportive facts that arrive with the various upcoming Astro events.

Lets talk about the importance of this particular “almost” Eclipse and Full Moon in Aquarius.  When we think of Aquarius we think of FREEDOM and not just any FREEDOM but one that promotes unpredictable expressions.

If the world is walking to the left the Aquarian energy will happily rebel to the right. This can be seen as predictable yet the key theme here is not to conform or do what is PREDICTABLE. Aquarius wants what is best futuristically and generally on a humanitarian level. It also needs to be fuelled by invention and expansion that encompasses more than just petty detail.

Since this almost Lunar Eclipse is singing on the Aquarian Star we can predict a shower of unpredictable expression (incoming and outgoing). We can also guarantee that ALL of us will be compelled to rise up to a level of being that cares for the greater purpose and wants to think about the world, all its people and how we do have a role in serving each other collectively.

I know this may not be as specific as you wish so to narrow it down I will tell you that whatever crazy impulsive feelings you have experienced over the last 2 weeks are directly connected to this Full Moon. Allot of the “out of this world” ideas that support inventive projects are worth your while. If you have been yearning for community and social outings this too is connected.

To maximize this Full Moons magic over the next 3 days, consider the following:

  • attend group / social spiritual gatherings or humanitarian workshops
  • write down all the “out of this world” ideas that pop into your creative mind
  • pursue at least one of the “out of this world” ideas
  • inspire and support underprivileged youth
  • connect with children and play fun games that connect you with your inner child
  • make jewelry
  • think of ways to contribute to your local environment / community
  • think big
  • join / support a cause
  • dance an electric dance
  • use indigo or bright purple colours
  • trust in the closure that arrives through communication (direct or indirect)
  • make positive aspirations
  • work with crystals
  • honour ancestors
  • write

Here is a poem by the wonderful Marlow Brooks that I feel connects to this Full Moons theme:

AFTER THE RAIN

After the rain hits hard

It breaks through

And sets the dew on fire

Looking forward to hear from you all and to know how this Full Moon is unfolding for you?

Please feel free to share your feedback here. I am taking bookings for September now.

Some closing notes:

If we really look into “where this will to continue comes from” we will find an immaculate loving golden heart. We continue because we are ALL linked up from the heart and the love that can be experienced (even for a second) outlasts all the doubts that arise when contemplating existence.

This Full Moon wants us to respect and remember how we are all in this together. Yes, we have gone over this phrase quite a few times though it is probably never ever really enough. Lets remember the glory of interconnected-ness. Lets remember just how important it is to see the bigger picture and to choose wise compassion for all beings no matter what.

Love and light,

Tashi

An Astrological Update
Hello 2016

A Capricorn Climax will take place in 2020 when Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto land up in Capricorn. We all have a series of choices to make until then and these choices will transform our world for the better or worse. These choices will bring a long yearned for harmony or brutally oppress our future.

Astrologers fear the outcome of world affairs in 2020 because the last time Capricorn held these planets it held them and bled. What I want to say is if we are aware of the cosmic turning points we can indeed attempt to change outcomes. All cosmic turning points have both their negative and positive influences so the trick is to work with whatever is useful and don’t look back!

What we are all scheming now will lay the ground for the “new world way” in 2020 and this way (I repeat) will be harmonious or brutal. If people start to wake up and see the distortions of our reality and through understanding make necessary changes, we will then heal the pain and decondition from the falsification on a collective level.

The extremes in the current chaos thicken and as the years pass whatever divides us from the peace within will increase. It is urgent to be a wise contributor to support the ground we step on. The elements we depend on are crying and whatever toxic emotions stir the pit of our collective pain is in total control now. Rise up in loving kindness and protect this earth through seeing where you are.

2016 looks bumpy, bumpy because we are quite confused now and all who are attempting to carry us cant really care. We are basically being tricked and kicked further and further away from ourselves. Can you feel it? A good way to examine this statement is to see just how much time per day is spent in unnecessary indulgences. Over the years we have been taught to do so and this indirect manipulation holds us down and away from seeing how urgent it is to care. To care for others and this precious earth requires us to care for ourselves too. How we dedicate the next 4 years will play a hefty part in the grand scheme of things. Are we going to decide to connect more with where we are or will we lock it all out and swim in this obvious numbness?

Astrologically, the end of December 2015 surprised us with a feeling of release and this feeling will continue to work with us in January. From what I can see, 2016 will only really start in February. I say this because the release from December had direct access to the way we perceive the world and its pain, it provoked us to recall the nurturing aspects within ourselves and how useful it is to care for everything a little more now. After the New Moon in Capricorn on the 10th we will start to awaken into the New Year and by the 1st week of February the energetic push to start anew will be ours. Use January to let it all go, release the shocks and learn from 2015’s unfulfilled promises. There are teachings in the challenges of 2015 and we can still learn from them. In-fact, we must.

2015 proved to us that security is overrated and won’t have much worth so… to rely on the notion of security has absolutely no relevance. This ever-changing wild ride within and without is screaming for peace; the peace from within.

Try not to expect much now because systems have been designed to fail and the real astrological message is to strengthen your inner world. Since the weight of the planets is shouting for order let’s at least attempt to find it within. Lets stop this outer need for confirmation and unite with our hearts to heal the contractions of the mind.

How do we REALLY enter 2016?

Well… it’s time to kiss the moment and not take anything for granted. See this year as a chance to connect deeper with the divine and to develop our hearts. With aspirations and open arms we can heal all wounds.

Saturn in Sagittarius gives us access to divine knowledge and that knowledge will come easily if we seek it. For those of us who want to undergo productive study know that 2016 / 2017 is an empowering time.

Jupiter in Virgo promotes how correct it is to remember our great mother Earth and nurture her back through eating well, helping the environment and simply knowing she’s alive. This knowing will automatically encourage us to nurture ourselves. This knowing enables us to feel more and to really see where we are.

Take January as a time to firmly mark your promise on this earth and towards others. Make the wish that you will do your best to see and feel where you are so that you can inspire and change 2016 for the better.

The New Moon on the 10th wants us to work harder and to map out what needs to be done so that we can tread a little lighter. It’s really not so complicated, our intention and awareness will help so much and if we walk into 2016 aware the overall ability to rise up for complete benefit wont fail.

Eclipse season arrives in March and despite Mercury’s current backspin, we are actually cosmically supported so let’s use the space to plan well and love so much more.

Love and light,

Tashi
