I also wanted to share with you lots of new talks on many esoteric metaphysical spiritually minded systems of enlivening the higher self,
the Spirit Self, the ‘Consciousness Soul’ as HP Blavatsky in the Secret Doctrine , and later Rudolf Steiner, called it.
The world is so divided and struggling for peace of mind and creative heart, that it is time for each of us to look deeper in our holy stillness heart
for a yet greater understanding and voice. Its time to learn new things, or have new thinks slap us with reality. The whole spiritual thing is to awaken out of freedom and love, Higher Truths, Higher Self, Spiritually creative becoming rooted in virtue being, wholeness being. I lack words.
As an Astrologer , i thought to alert you to a few crazy aspects coming. The Planets are the ‘karma and dharma’ agents for creative positive spirit change. Sometimes we lose the higher minded way to be and go, lose touch with our own inner self, guardian angel, let alone the destiny making ArcAngels or Dyani Chohans. Our own higher dreams somehow turn to nightmares and we need return to higher love and truth, meditation and soul gardening, weaving. Planetary aspects can become trite, or troubling so called ‘ bad aspects, agitators and strict time keepers, tough school masters. The Planets impel and influence, but each of us has a choice to choose out of freedom the higher way, the higher octave way to go. We can choose to be better.
This friday moon/saturn/venus for example, is an opportunity to attune to a higher love all inclusive healing, a ‘ Oneness’ enriches rather than diverstiy, division, empovering. A higher virtue or sense of ‘ at-one-ment’ that enlivens, that lasts. A compassionate courage to change our own view, our own self, to help the bigger world around us.
Full Moon October 20th with its Moon/Mars/Pluto is chance to let go of what we can’t fix, and behold anew a divine view activating a new sense of joy, wonder, wisdom and compassion. Awakening a right thought, feeling, action from a deeper soul spirit meditative stillness and wholeness. Otherwise this time period full of more of the same old same old nothing new, more dirty politics, reactive weather and emotions, shaky markets and supply lines, throwing money at things and inflation, deflation in parts. There may be trouble at the top influencing the ground holding the pyramid up. Its always a good time than to act wisely or hold back into deeper stillness still learning till right timing unfolds the flowering heart of insight, virtue bravado holds us all, not divides to conquer.
Christmas eve last of 3 Saturn/Uranus squares along with dec 25th Venus/Pluto aspect calls on us to discover the real meaning of birthing the divine light and love within our own heart. The real love compassion Bodhi Mind Dharma will be ‘present’ rather than the ‘me, me, me, nothing is good enough’ along with impotent negative emotions, a chance to renew and rebirth self as cause rather than effect! Love as universal.
Here is new 3 part series on ’The Astrology for Sept to December 2021 Astrological and Esoteric Insights ~
The Planets influence the vibrations and the space. We find the mind for it all in the heart, the true inner ground and human earth, the still point at the center of the astrology chart, the circumference and all the many passing connections, but stillness is chief. The head may be superior but the heart is supreme. The planets impel, not compel. There is a higher and lower octave to planetary aspects. The stillness transcends duality. Each of us out of freedom of virtue thinking, heart, and good will, may activate the higher octave to reach to the deepest and highest good, true, and beautiful (Plato’s experiencee of Deity) peace and joy to and from the heart of the world. With the heart we can hear the World Word (see Steiner), the smallest root or movement in the garden, and the enjoy the dance of opposites still!
Overview and bigger picture~
Pluto in Capricorn gives one a feeling of an untiring climb to the top, with fear of being buried with all that won’t stop. A feeling of being burdened by the mountain of work before one, or a feeling of needing more control over one’s life and fate; or still yet, a wanting to be free of all controls or unnecessary burdens. A wish to just be part of it all, not separate or alone, but ‘all one’. (Plato’s ‘At`One’ or in music a tone, or tuning).
Pluto in Capricorn is caught between Sagittarius far seeing wisdom arrow and eye, and Aquarian ideals of ‘the most for the many’ and one for all, all for one. Otherwise the many distractions can eat your peace of mind!
One can get big insights into individual and collective karma when pondering Pluto’s cycle of 240 or 250 years cycles as well as its approximately 500 year Phoenix cycles (a positive and negativa, electro-magnetic, double cycle of receptive reflective vs active energetic of pluto empowerment. A poor open empty heart will inherit the world, or is is ‘Plutocracy’ and ‘plutocrats’, brats running things).
In such cycles’ think of the time of the Declaration of Independence. Who and what creates or allows true freedom and independence? Think of the 12 and 13th into 14th century Gothic Cathedral building by the Templars and guardians of the Holy Grail (Steiner), the birth of the Consciousness Soul and the Tarot Cards including the Fool (the ZERO or selfless one) and the 21 (two plus one, equals 3 the trinity)!? Think ‘Troubadours’ and ‘Elenor of Aquitaine’ who was queen of both England and France and promoted the arts, troubadours, grail, and mystical christianity as well as the virtues of paganism (Platonic). Think 7th Century and Steiner view of 666 AD time of over concretization of spiritual principles, as well as a premature introduction of the ZERO in Math leading to lack of rhythm and a form of mechanical occultism and spiritual materialism. But also rediscovery of Plato and more! Think 2nd and 3rd century time of Roman Imperialism and church authority (not self evident truth) taking over the very spiritual teachings of Platonism, NeoPlatonism, Hermetics, India, the far East, Chaldean/Babylonian wisdom. Think Alexander the Great’s time and the planting of Plato, Aristotle, Greek Philosophy, Ancient Wisdom, in books all over know world to be rediscovered in late 14th into 15th Century and with the dawning of the Consciousness Soul. Obviously this is a future conversation too.
Pluto is making its natal return since the USA Declaration of Independence and as in the Bosch painting, all hell is breaking out as heaven descends upon our true hearts and mind. (See Steiner’s Foundation Stone Meditation for how our hearts join in one mindful chorus for peace and compassion/love for this planet! And Voice of Silence HPB). None the less, Pluto opposes Cancer sign reflecting the endangering of the worlds water and food supply as well as wild life and mother nature, family and friends and quality of life for most all of us. Pluto in Cap relates too to Medusa like frozen brains stuck on electronics and electro magnetic fixations. The lack of the democratization of information while appearing medusa head like to give freedom while freezing the free thinking and natural life. Here Compassion and selfless learning is healing and repair of fried nervous system and atrophied breathing lung heart rhythms. (See Science of Breath by Yogi Ramacharacka). Simple exercise and food, chewing well and silent reflection, goes well with health and longevity. Take long walks if you don’t know what to do! Be still study and read deeper minded spiritual books!
Neptune in Pisces liberates spiritual perceptions as well as deceptions on the mass social cultural level. Danger here of over indulgence of nearly everything; also legalization of drugs, over prescribing over medicating, over doing pleasures and unnatural urge to reach escape velocity in inner or outer spaces is a bit much, very ‘luciferic’ in Steiner’s view. Neptune in Pisces can be falling asleep or unconscious in externals, other, or group. Jung called this the tragedy of modern relationship. Ideally we awaken to the divine in each other and the world sparking virtuous activities. Neptune can facilitate this spiritual group and individual with world (the Word, the OM, or Christos identity).
Uranus in Capricorn is urge to be independent with money and things. Free of weight or burden. Yet finding new ways to weave with earth and her monthly and yearly cycles is key. Having heart is inner earth and landing, rooting, grounding. ‘Heart’ spells ‘EARth. The heart is the inner ear. Many reconnecting to such hearty earth, others feel disconnected from wholeness and higher self.Spiritual practice and weaving breath tween head and heart is helpful. In that light, read HPB’s ‘Voice of Silence’ and Steiner’s ‘Foundation Stone Meditation’. Yes!
Uranus wants to always say yes to new thinks and things. One needs Saturn’s ‘No’ or Not Now, be patient, to balance. Perhaps this is key to Uranus/Saturn triple square, the knowing and gnosis of ‘yes and no’, light and dark, the heart’s middle way and balance tween heaven and earth, self and other. The ‘Unknowing’ or spiritual retreat can be helpful. Its a question of balancing the scales between heaven and earth, ideal and practical.
Saturn in Aquarius. Is it big plans with no practical foundation? Big block buster foundations and ‘matters’, but no higher awareness, higher consciousness, spiritual insight nor higher vision and virtue? Difficulty seeing what’s right in front of you as your artistic and spiritual opportunity and work, art?
Jupiter retrograde into Aquarius from Pisces is reawakening from the dream and trying to figure out what’s good for the planet this moment. Pisces can be love of solitude, private garden, cuddling and staying in safe secure or very nature oriented realms. Relating to plants and serene environs good, but can be lazy or lax, belittling or flowing with the sleepy over enjoying. Very kind though and compassionate. Jupiter in Aquarius now returning for a spell is strong social thinking, creative ideals, new friends, unique everything, busyness and spontaneousness, ever creative new arisings, new goings and comings, new connections, love of the new.
In 2022 Jupiter will trine USA Venus and then for real, happier times come, free of much of today’s worry.
The last quick ‘bigger view’ astrological aspect i want to mention is the next Election for President in 2024. As you may well know, i had used astrology to Predict Mr. Trump’s first victory and election to President, as well as his loss on second run. I now predict the distinct possibility of his victory in 2024. Whether he’s re-running, or more likely his ‘victory’ in supporting another running such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who also has very good aspectsto possibly win, or be on the winning side. President Biden has very tough aspects for winning in 2024, and either he miraculously chooses to activate higher octaves of his planetary configurations to amaze us with success, or President Biden may drop out or choose not to run and leave it to a new contender. More on this possibility later.
As stated in my book, Astrology is the science art of possibility, probability, and potential event, experience, and realization. The science is in the calculation of the chart, the art is in interpreting the possibilities of the chart. Each out of freedom and higher love can activate the virtues of the planets. The Hermetic NeoPlatonists thought this way.
With Venus in Virgo/Libra/Scorpio next two months, sensitive feelings awaken higher and deeper values of the heart. Mahayana principles of helping others to make good karma is important. Virgo is unconscious friends, working fellows; Libra is more conscious friends. Scorpio is making choices and investment of time to get results. Working on self, sharing with others, finding deeper commitments to renewal and selfless workings to benefit greater sense of humanity. Here indecision is overcome by pulling weeds, not planting anew. Yet its also true; by creating the new, the old is composted.
With Mars in Virgo and Libra next two months, over critiquing or deconstructive energetics work to undo oneself from true calling and positive futures. Mars in Libra wants to work more co-equally and cooperatively for better results for one and all. Tidiness and cleanliness so to create space for new arrivals or insights is good. Also good to create space for ever emerging creative renewal, no obsessiveness and crazy fixations, but a breath of fresh air is called for. Virgo can be too clinging to false security, Libra can give way to easy to what’s outside oneself. The key here is service to the higher self, higher virtue, and helping others to help themselves.
AstroNews for August into September 2021~
Aug 1st Sun conjunct Mercury in Leo , Mercury oppose Saturn. A senseof right mind on long term wisdom goals is called for here. A sense of spiritual presence in heart and mind. On the flip side possible obstacles, stormy parts of the world, extremes and intensification in weather or nature phenomena; or is it all saturnine quiet and thoughtful? Meditation and yoga?
A Sense of ‘hard thinking’ needing play in the inner and outer sun to clear thinking and the heart’s way. Personal values work to meet world work demands/needs. A call for individual and collective wisdom. Positively, a wisdom that comes through time creating better times. Break throughs into new renewed thinking Aug. 3rd, 6th, and 9th.
Aug 2nd Sun oppose Saturn, Venus in Virgo trine Uranus in Taurus Aug 3rd; with Aug 6th Sun square Uranus , New Moon on Aug. 8th; littlebig turning pointsfor events setting up better end of the year into next year! Esoterically the Sun Spark Angel heart is working with karma to learn through time, the art of wisdom and loving kindness. Good aspects for inner work as well as outer arts, beautifying, making music. On simple level good for cleaning and fixing up things (Venus in Virgo).
Uranus is like a Uriel Angel attempting to make lemonade out of lemons, art out of refuse, With all these planetary energies in fixed signs, difficulties letting go, freeing one’s self from fixations and stuck points. Positive is slow steady growth, perseverance in the art of being human and angelic. Simple gardening, walks, yoga, gentle sports exercise. No expectations, no let downs. Aug 6 to 8th shifts in direction from new insights gives more positive direction to those needing it. The ‘Negative’ turns to ‘Creativa’ and ‘illumination’ in weeks to come.
Aug 8th New Moon 16 Leo.
Aug. 9th Venus oppose Neptune, Aug. 10 mercury oppose Jupiter, Aug. 11th Venus trine Pluto.
Aug 18th Mercury conjunct Mars in Virgo, Aug 19 Sun oppose Jupiter, Aug. 20 Mercury trine Uranus
Aug 19th Uranus goes Retrograde in fixed sign of Taurus making, for some, sharp reversals. Uranus is progress and change and its 3 times square affects the thinking, feeling, and willing (oft in reverse order) during its 3 times square. With Uranus comes upgrades and transformation, with Saturn and fixed signs comes wanting things to continue the way it was, or a clinging to what gives one a sense of continuance or security. Together uranus/saturn (rulers of Aquarius/Capricorn) calls for positive change in home, work, social relationships, and personal appearance. Uranus calls for new or renewed friendships; more creativity, less possessiveness or clinging, higher love over loss or fear (overcoming Scorpio); a better relationship that frees one from being obsessed over possessions or money (overcoming Taurus), yet using such matters to free or make more intelligent; and new ways of being creative artistic and healthy in play, playing, having fun (overcoming Leo). In the Rites of Mithras (ancient persian mysteries), the to be initiated pilgrim soul had to (like Odyseus, Hercules, Ulysses, and more, had to go through the trials and ‘soul tortures’ , the shadow side of life (health, estrangement, lack of wise social life or healing good nature) of the 12 signs of the zodiac. The 12 fold dodecahedron of Steiner’s spiritualizing the world with what was once the 9 muses and the trinity of Zeus and company, now becomes the Dionysian 9 spiritual Hierarchies and the Holy Trinity of ‘Father (Oneness), Sun Christ (Universal right Mind) and the Holy Spirit (Holy Mother, Goddess Action Hero Divine Sophia wisdom love, and the Mary Madeline (the new Hecate/Istar/Inanna/Persephone). The 12 trials of Mithras through the 12 signs of the Zodiac is metaphor and myth reality of one’sovercoming one’s animal nature and lower mind, to enter into a 7 fold planetary virtue ladder through mediation, or through death and rebirth soul traveling through the planetary spheres (See Steiner’s ‘From Death to Rebirth’ or HPB’s pamphlet ‘States after Death’, online or at MayflowerBookshop.com. The 7 virtues awakening the higher side of the theosophical rosicrucian 7 roses or planetary evolutions, is what was once called ‘Homer’s Ladder. Homer’s ladder of the gods’ connects heaven and earth by 7 virtue steps or rungs (See Rudolf Steiner’s book on virtues opening and protecting the chakras in his ‘Knowledge of the Higher Worlds, and its Attainment’, or H.P.Blavatsky little meditation manual delineating the 7 virtues ‘The Voice of the Silence’. I have several talks attempting to awaken such heart intelligence, such ‘heart sutra and mind mantra’ on my youtube channel.
Here’s one, check em all out and share with friends~
Astrology continues~
Aug. 22 Full Moon 29 Aquarius, with Mars in Virgotrine Uranus in Taurus. Creative Change holds the wisdom of the past as impulses of will work toward a more creatively free future. Over critical or non constructive thinking is metamorph’d into positive futures. A sense of constructive continuance prevails with ‘right action’ (one of Buddha’s 8 fold path seeking octave over 7
(click pic for little talk!)
virtues). Look to the good, true, beautiful, more eternal, in every situation and encounter.
Aug. 23 Venus in Libra trine Saturn in Aquarius, air signs. Here a sense of fairness and balance calm the mind and nourish the soul to transcend contesting opposites and dualities. Practicality and art meet.
Aug 24 Mercury in critical or healing virgo oppose Neptune in spacey but universally compassionate ‘Bodhi Mind’ Pisces. Critical discursive mind challenged by oceanic tides of social cultural necessity and change. Art and culture either help or hinder clear thinking or healing. Have you seen Dr. Tom Cowan’s take on present world health situation. Much to debate or share, think about, eh? Healing is to me made whole, at one, with inner and outer big world.
Aug 26 Mercury in virgo trine Pluto in capricorn works to make practical and good for everyone decisions. Details and pieces of the puzzle integrate with bigger picture or world conception holding all of us.
“When there is no anger inside, there is no enemy outside.”
~Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Sept. 2 Mars Virgo oppose Neptune Pisces. Active imaginations sparks ideals to quest new experience, vaster spaces, and new art, culture, social life. Danger of wanting something for nothing, wanting without having to work or earn. Moodiness if energies can’t find right creative or healing activity. Good for long walks or gentle yoga, mediation. Danger of imbalance in biochemistry through wrong use of meds, drugs, drink, or diet. Good time to simplify to beautify, here less is more. Mars/Neptune is notorious for misuse, mis calculation, misfortune, lack of clarity, toxic envious or ingestion, wrong or difficult diagnosis. Simplifying, clarifying, purifying, called for. Positively, a heck of a lot of energy is invoked. Opposite is lack of energy or ‘what to do’. Good time, if feeling lost or down, to read and study various teachings available with Manly Hall, Tibetan Buddhism, NeoPlatonism and Hermetics (Kybalion anyone?), H.P. Blavatsky’s Isis Unveiled or her Key to Theosophy, Rudolf Steiner Archive and Audio!?!
On flip side mars/neptune is waste and decadent craziness lacking healthy garden and good earth values. Things find healthy mothering of inner heart baby spiritual self, or seem to get lost in fantasy or illusion, maya, delusion, and lack of simple earthy clarity. A need to understand ‘dharma’ as all teachings leading to freedom, insight, illumination, higher self, virtue and social cultural art and spiritual science, co-creative happiness in work and play.
“The circumstantial, temporary absence of war is not real peace. Real Peace comes only from the heart.”
~Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Sept 4th Mercury trine Saturn. Keeping to the true, tried, reliable, and what is in harmony with ‘the best for the rest, just enough for me’ mentality of what i call ‘YogaMind’ in my book ‘Astrological Aspects, the Art’.
“How do we fill up the emptiness of our heart?
The answer is meditation.”~Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Sept 5 Venus in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn. Here ‘patience over pressure’, ‘art over farts’, ‘balance in challenge’, and learning to ‘listen rather than blistering miserableness’ over happenings to self and world. A sense of reincarnation and karma balanced with personal view and needs can be very helpful to find one’s place in bigger World Conception and future holds all of us. See Rudolf Steiner’s ‘Outline of Occult Science’ for glimpses of what is a World Conception. Also see his Reincarnation and Karma talks, as well as HPB’s ‘Key to Theosophy’.
“If you don’t remember death, you don’t remember the Dharma.”
~Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Sept. 6th New Moon at 14 Virgo. This day, Mars in Virgo trines Pluto in Capricorn, Venus in Libra trines Jupiter in Aquarius, Sun in Virgo trines Uranus in Taurus. Lots of practical forward motion here. Matters at hand seem practical and clear cut. The Virgo/Libra axis puts work and others in the light. Selfless service to the higher self in all furthers progress.
Sept 14 Sun in Virgo oppose Neptune in Pisces, here again the light of clear thinking, dharma mindfulness, needs bridge active imagination and high ideals, projections, or quest. Urges to travel or escape feelings of being too little in one’s view or heart.
Sept 16 Sun trine Pluto in Capricorn. Right Work and livelihood frees the mind of worry and stress
Sept 17 Venus square Saturn. A sense of self worth willing to work on self, ever rebirthing a new day and another way to love and heal the world. Avoid all work and no play. Try stretching or doing bit of yoga, walking in nature, as well as sitting up still listening with one’s heart to one’s deeper stillness holding and beholding all.
Sept 20 Full Moon 28 Pisces, Mercury trine Jupiter in air signs. A sense of joy and camaraderie. mutual views of ideal worlds create working friendships and spiritual sharing.
“Live with compassion, work with compassion, die with compassion, meditate with compassion, enjoy with compassion. When problems come, experience them with compassion.”
`Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Sept 22 Equinox sun into Libra, mercury square pluto. A sense of World Destiny and higher calling vs a sense of stuck with a jack in the box, or fated circumstances needing higher ArchAngelic intelligence and humbler Christian Rosencruetz surrender to collective wisdom and karma to re-incarnate or renew the mystery of life. In the old egyptian hermetic myth reality, when one dies or does proper stillness meditation or YogaMind, one’s heart is weighed against a feather. The heart must be lighter than a feather to arise and ascend in higher consciousness. In Goethe’s Faust, at the end, Faust is redeemed by his good heart, the ‘devil’ or duality of the world can’t find him in his head nor belly. The higher angels and divine feminine Sophia save him from destruction through the Heart and its identification and alchemical (Chymical) wedding of Spiritual and Material ethics, virtues, awakening the mind stream continuum and resurrection body of the Spirit Self, the Spiritual Soul, in and from the altar of the Heart. See the story of ‘Psyche and Eros’ in my book ‘Astrological Aspects, the Art’.
Thus Libra configures and reflects the heart holding the balance between thinking and willing. The Heart awakening the YogiMind of mind stream continuum, being the key to the true rosicrucian hermetic alchemy of both the christian mystic and modern pagan materialist, whether Tibetan Buddhist, Om Mani, Platonic, Aristotle’d, Egyptian Hermetic, or even modern good witch.
“Everything depends on what you do with your mind.”
~Lama Zopa
Mercury square to Pluto reflects the need for more research, compassion, and universal concern, right contemplation and mediation of the virtues. Here negativity is its old reward, it can make one sick. But so is higher spiritual revelation and workings, works’; it can make you well, star, and human again!
sept 23 venus oppose uranus. A tendency to reach beyond oneself, an over reach forcing one to return to start as to feelings and affections. Urge to art, love, knead, weave, garden, beautify. Urge to erratic thrusts of creativity with no lasting effect. On the other hand, need to find new intelligence to go with creative outbursts of feeling.
sept 25 Mars trine Saturn. Arousal of energies to overcome difficulties or obstructions. Working hard or hardly working? Making it one’s job to find what Buddha called right work. Finding one’s true inner and outer work to marry or meet and agree.
sept 29 venus trine neptune, sun trine saturn. A dreamy sensitivity as to artistic and practical futures before one.
sept 30 venus square jupiter. Happiness making others happy vs. self indulgent laziness. Happiness with others, or working with others.
“In every second of this human life you have the freedom to choose between hell and enlightenment, samsara and liberation.”
~Lama Zopa Rinpoche
Dec. 24 Third Saturn square Uranus of Christmas Eve. A sense of willing and thinking derived from the outer structure and inner energetic of a world both in crisis opportunity and materialistic genius or even an idiot savant override coupled with a complex animal and vegetative appetite, as well as a mechanicalization and over concretizing of spiritual potentials and ideals as to what one thinks, makes one happy. Such aspects work and play for structural change of work and home, self and relationship. But also here one can react to changes and feelings forced into ill fitting structures and patterns of world and self, work and play, day to day.Such aspect also indicate an ever changing view of what is ‘money’, currency, real current event. Its use, its reality, its sense of security or play is ever changing. What is currency or the experience of being present, current, alive to life. Is it not related to the greatest sense of cosmos as well as stillness listening heart? And how to find healthy spiritual rhythms between highest ideals and practical and physically real day to day, etheric month to month, astral 7 day periods or rhythms, and ego (self and/or other) yearly cycles!?! Spirit Soul has to do with the whole of one’s life, and lifetimes. (See Rudolf Steiner’s ‘Mystery of the Universe’ at mayflower or ‘Steiner Archives’.
Here the question arises, do you drive or does it drive you? But also, can you let your higher self drive sometimes? Your Stillness land things?!
Stresses and pressures call for new ways to release creativity in both work and play. Silent reflective mediation and meditation may help!
At one level, Saturn represents being 30 or 60 or 90 and having wisdom that can only prove itself in time. Christ as ‘Lord of Karma’, Steiner would say. Buddha as lord of dharma.
Uranus then represents the energies of being 21 years old (Uranus square), 42 (Uranus opposition), 63 (Uranus waning square) and 84 (Uranus return) revealing new freedoms and genius (Angelic) insights into self, life, and world urging one to freedom, renewed thinking, and reaching for the stars of higher love/compassion and truth (Neptune Pluto); thus in anthroposophical terminology, the redemption of the fallen light, chemical, and life ether by way of higher truth, love, and selfless learning and compassion for ALL of LIFE! But beware, Uranus can be at lower octave a sense of going through changes but nothing really changes.
Perhaps Sat/Uranus can be a few days of personal disappointment, karmically urging one to greater participation with those less fortunate as well as a gaining of a bigger picture, a bigger dream to aspire to. A love and respect for the collective urge for peace and compassion is golden key..

~trebore tau bodhi
friends,
Jupiter just went retrograde and was almost trine Venus and Jupiter in USA astrology chart! Many of us felt almost there! Like beautiful summer was on the way, but Jupiter went retro and doesn’t come back to make exact trine till January 2022 when love and beauty, right good relations, will work well on a mass level. Not that some of that summertime love isn’t here now, but darn!
Next year will be big new wave for happiness for many.
With the USA Pluto nearing its 240 some year return, everything that’s wrong, or perceived wrong, with anything and everything is pinching our powers of peace and love, good true beautiful.
With N.Node (moon’s node) coming to conjunct USA’s natal Uranus, a huge wave of new creativity and higher consciousness is on the way as well as more upsets and surprises, turn arounds, and reversals.
There aren’t aliens out there, they’re here on earth! We need to once again re-evaluate and renewwhat it means to be human with a divine spark sparking our heart mind soul.Much new creative insight coming, but also more one sided genius throwing things further out of balance. Its more important than ever that we find balance and peaceful center each day. Each day try to find 3 to 7 minutes to be radically still while listening to the heart of the world.
It doesn’t help to have transit of Neptune square to USA Mars while opposing Neptune/Midheaven in Virgo (Sage Sagittarius rising chart)This is a notorious aspect for wrong diagnosis of events and symptoms. Such Neptune aspects trigger hyper active imagination, fantasy and conspiracy, fear and paranoia as well as mis-spent energy and restless mind and sleep. Also problem of grand standing and ego inflation/deflation. Weird weather and pollution, expressions extreme for or against. Unconscious inner struggles of ideal vs reality, as well as ahrimanic/luciform astral dualism. Condemnation rather than elucidation and healing realization. The danger of Neptune is living in projections, scapegoating (pluto), shame/blame cycles, and dreamy pictures and ideals that can’t really become real. A need for new healing techniques for subtle bodies and not just symptom shooting physical. A real need for new art and music, new dreams and ideals that can be loved and truth’d into reality. Danger of inflation followed by deflation. Gardening, healthier food, exercise, working on oneself good; but without true spiritual realization holding us all in long view, poor results to follow.
Positively its a deep quiet healing force arising in the heart and circulations of the world due to arrive as we enter fall late summer fall into next year. Positively its the USA deeply within awakening a Great Mother Compassion and loving kindness once again. Once we were the ‘bread basket of the world’, we need to do this now again, but with great mother love and wisdom compassion unending. We now need a ‘re-imagination of the World’ in peace and harmony with mutually beneficial kindness andhelpfulness.Many of the ideals and dreams, hopes and wishes we have now will dream come true next year. This summer its making little things work and avoiding negativities that fragment us and trip us from wholeness.
Everywhere is a good place to start,
a difficult place to end.
Stillness still knows it all,
past. present. future
here now!.
Be still and know the way of TAO,
AUM!
~robert of mayflower
July 1st Mars oppose Saturn. Mars is courage and wisdom to go forward in one’s positive spirit in spite of past karma and world situation. Even in a storm, the flower is a flower, the stone is a stone, the spirit is not bothered nor fears being alone. None-the-less, this is hard work needing a good break to catch up to oneself. Fixed signs feel the pressure the most and need patience and wisdom to maneuver. Mars/Saturn can be ahrimanic materialistic mechanical mischief, or it can be a Jesus on the Cross mantra, ‘Father forgive them, they know not what they do’. Harp not on the cross, look to the good true beautiful allows more an ascent to higher consciousness. Also such aspect may indicate too much going on at the same time and a division of decision needing more time to enfold for wisdom to unfold. Mars is cars, accidents, fights, excess bravado and pushing things to the limit; its tough politics and hard to get ahead. Its good side is the spiritual hero, the wisdom sun of arch angel Michael (Mikael) and with Venus (one the 6th, the healing ArchAngel Rapheal) the fresh breath of spring and new things, possibilities for new work and play arising.
July 6th Venus oppose Saturn. Patience in love and patience for the things you love. Tendency to wish for or fight conservativeness. Let wisdom and love for the long run, not fear nor acting out of separatist action motivate you. Here Venus is more Artemis and her mysterious healing powers, persistentwisdom weaving and flowering, right aim for spiritual equality. Patience of the Great Mother, not little one, may here be needed.
May all beings find true belonging and good work heals, not wounds, the soul. Feeling tired of the past or stuck in patterns. My old friend Matthew Fox told me that ‘tiredness’ comes from not being one’s self. Perhaps not seeing or being true to one’s higher self, one’s stillness infinite potential self blocks the infinite energy to be and become, yet at still point? Here thinking clear and feeling at peace need meet in mindfulness and creative art.
July 8 Venus opp Uranus, Creativity and novelty jump out of limitation’s box and request freedom from and freedom to, freedom to be. In creating the new, the old is composted. Venus is the inner mirror of reality, the inner waters of feelings , here being jolted by Uranus the lightening quick flashes of genius and smarts. Take a few deep breaths when thinks and things move to fast. Look to the heart soul breath and stillness to reveal the true way of wholeness. Possible sudden upsets and new directions. These days may trigger unusual destiny and karmic meetings leading into July 13th or more Venus/Mars aspect. Many feel a need for relationships more creative toward better futurity. Relationships that feel stuck in same old, same old, tire one out.
July 9th New Moon 18 degree Cancer. New impulses start setting the stage for better home and garden, better diet and mood for good, true, beautiful. New moons bring out the inner moods and one needs stay practical and inwardly listening for 3 days for voice of silence to wisdom speak. June 9th to 12th a holy time to listen in to the higher self. Here the inner and outer, the light and dark meet in the heart soul birthing better futures.
July 13th Venus conjunct Mars in Leo is a heavenly call to the Spiritual big Heart to interact with the world. Breath to the Heart, Heart to the World, may all beings find happiness and the true causes of long lasting happiness and creativity. Otherwise, venus/mars is cats and dogs fighting, ego over rather than learning through experience. Venus is inner planet to earth and mars outer one. Push and Pull and tug of war? Internalizing feelings and experience struggle with externalizing one’s experience or needs? When in right harmony and tuning, Athena and Hermes work together to ascend and grow anew in heavenly estate.
July 17th Sun Oppose Pluto. Home concerns vs work concerns, personal vs big world concerns challenge one to find higher octaves and peaceful means to the goal. Divining the divine in ‘self’ and ‘other’ first before challenging the status quo may prove wise. Good for cleaning and throwing unneeded past out. In creating the new, the old is composted into fertilizer for the future. Here individual concerns clash with worldly concerns. The Sun is ‘the Woman clothed with the Sun, the divine wisdom Sophia attempting to heal and make whole, stirring an uprising in consciousness. Watch out for emotions to over run rationality. World problems come to clearer light.
July 22 Sun enters Leo and Venus opposes Jupiter. Inner light and spark of the Sun reveal new ways to go. Avoid overdoing, excess, or escapism; yet, yes, this is good time to party or socialize. Avoid over spending, but yes…..it may be time for updating and making things new.
Compassion for less fortunate over flows to flower more wisdom take on thins. Unusually creative new rapport and relationships arise from ruins of past years. Avoid the ‘Pride’ or arrogance always right attitude triggering one into the backseat for a break or downtime.
July 23rd Full Moon 1 degree Aquarius brings out the colors and artsy future fantastic displays of hearty good times. Ego inflation leading to deflation should be avoided but yes, its a good time. Full moon tends to manifest external form of soul. Beware of reflections of self in waters of maya illusion. Good for upbuilding positive spirit.
July 24th Mercury trine Neptune with July 25th Mercury oppose Pluto may be a magical time for making spiritual discovery and good intellectual research. Difficult time for rough debate. Merc/Nep in water signs wants wonderful soft flowing feelings, Merc/Pluto is money struggles and wish to be free of negativity. Good time to read/study/meditate on a more transcendental/universal truth big enough to envision the whole world making it to peace and enlightenment, starting with this little moment here, here now. Mercury can be the trickster, but more often its a message of the gods on how to flow, flower and go, for good luck and cheers, good fortune not misfortune, way of dharma over karma, breath and blessing.
July 25th Mercury oppose Pluto. Tough decisions in need of going a more positive path rather than always fighting needed here. Otherwise a healing or spiritual retreat?!
Aug 2nd Sun oppose Saturn and Aug 6th Sun square Uranus , New Moon on Aug. 8th; big turning points for events setting up better end of the year into next year! Esoterically the Sun Spark Angel heart is working with karma to learn through time, wisdom and loving kindness. Uranus is like a Uriel Angel attempting to make lemonade out of lemons, art out of refuse, With all these planetary energies in fixed signs, difficulties letting go, freeing one’s self from fixations and stuck points. Positive is slow steady growth, perseverance in the art of being human and angelic.
Spiritual mystical shamanic views, music and more! May into June 2021.

friends,
This coming Full Moon May 26th is thought my many to be the Holy Grail Moon. From May 11th to 26th is a magical etheric time of springing forth from within ourselves to find that which will heal our separation from the earth, that which will nourish us in our heart and soul for the further quest of the Grail, freedom and enlightenment, lasting happiness. To a very real degree, this starts from within, but overflows and flowers to the whole of the world, friends and foe alike, as a healing force of peace and love, wholeness.
Yet, we live in a time of huge deception as to what really matters when its all done, start to finish, its truth and love. This is a higher reality, a higher consciousness we must all individually learn to live up to, root down to, strive to make conscious.
Truth is no longer a priority. Truth is what holds us all heart and soul. Fact is, we don’t love the earth and invest in healthy rhythms of life, self and each other. All addictions and hardening habits block our divine spiritual powers and virtue capacities from coming out. Without inner creativity, inner flowering, inner richness, outer wealth only buries us, blocks us from rising in Higher Consciousness.
There is no religion, politics, psychology, philosophy, ego or money, higher than truth. Truth in this world starts with a deep silent selflessly learning awareness of how we could be loving each other, life, rather than pirating and plundering each other and all the world’s resources for short term pleasure and profit. Often we unconsciously steal from our individual and collective future rather renewing here now. Rather than putting things to right use for self and other, for good of us all, we build our castle walls, living in head pictures and unfinished emotions awaiting the art of the heart to recompose and divinely play, work, relate to the real world We need to put ‘God’, the ‘Goddess’, the sense of the sacred and holy, back into self, other, and the spaces between and all around us, mother nature. All needs (kneads) become sacred once again, in this ‘once upon a time’. There may be many lifetimes, but there is only this once, this one moment and life, in this form, to redeem past karma and create a better future, and the time is now. The present is the child of the past, the mother and father of the future, the ‘be here now’ and ‘power of the now’ is the Spirit of creativity, freedom, love and truth. Be yourself now!
In my mind, all the worlds’ guns got to go, or be turned into garden tools for all the world! Medicines and drugs, food, is here so we can co-create better times. Its not about escaping the world, or hardening ourselves. Without higher consciousness, wisdom and ‘right suffering’ as Buddha taught, right healing compassion, YES we need good police! But we need ‘police’ ourselves from negative thinking and unruly unconscious emotions.
Metaphysical and virtue mind training books should be part of the curriculum in every school and house hold. Read Isis Unveiled by HPB, or Osho’s Book of Secrets, or Manly Hall’s Secret Teachings of all Ages. Get a spiritually conscious life. Read Steiner’s books on gardening and spiritual science! Learn don’t burn. Bless and be blessed.
How do we now find a science of breath, mindfulness, hearty embrace understanding of each others past and future, each other’s dreams and necessities? How rid self and other of unnecessary suffering which does not bring peace and wisdom understanding, beneficial results? How can this long short life make sense without right understanding of reincarnation and karma? What is social justice without an understanding and appreciation of the last and next seven generations?
The last Jupiter/Saturn conjunct in Aquarius in the 12th century triggered sacred get togethers, sacred gathering places like cathedrals and sacred spaces. Much came from Grail holders, thetemplars, troubadors, spiritual romantics. Much loving wisdom came into play, and now again is at play. Here is where Plato and Aristotle both had a say, where pagan (nature) and modern religions (inner calling), where heaven and earth in our collective grail heart meet and can agree to better futures. The time is now to both be still in meditative prayer, moving in outer work and service to Higher Self, Universal Virtue. Here now is where the dream of peace on earth had its best bet. Here where Pagan and Christian, all religions can meet to share virtue minds and creative ‘forget me nots’. Such gatherings inward and outward can honorbothearthy rhythms pagan and the spirit of the sun heart spark Christology. om inner sun heros.
This last december jupiter/saturn in Aquarius triggered the slow but sure beginning of the new Aquarian Age to be fully incorporated starting materially in a few hundred years according to the precession of the equinox, but spiritually already starting late 1800’s according to Yogananda, Steiner, Blavatsky, and more. I say its now if we let it!
The question is , do we discover each other as one big family on earth, all spiritually minded brothers and sisters? Or do we face Big Brother authoritative policing lock down of freedom of speech, even thought?!
We are at a breaking point with the triple Saturn waning square Uranus this year, indicating last struggles to hang on to our projections of false freedom and insecurity rather than a search and discovery for higher truth and universal love holds us all, educates us all. Educates or flowers, leads out, higher purpose, love, healing earth energies. All God’s creations, rhythms, and rhymes calls for a new peace, a new world, built on inner freedom and love to start. A love for self, other, and all mother nature, inner spirit soul nature. All equally rediscovering God, or a unifying sense of ONENESS underlying and permeating all life’s diversities, forms, intelligences.
This year, as you may know, there are 3 Saturn/Uranus squares. The Civil War in the USA began with a similar Saturn/Uranus waning square and ended at the time of the trine.
Here now the Past and Future collide as to how to move into the future. Serious questions of ‘what is security’, ‘what is freedom’, ‘what is love’, ‘what is truth’? are struggled with by us all.
Much patience and mutual understanding, compassionate wisdom and heart listening is called for. I will post soon a talk more about our planetary aspects soon on my youtube channel. We certainly seem in a psychic and monetary tug of war.
Astrologically i’d think the economy good , though perhaps too hot, through the year into next year, but more coming in my talk.
With Jupiter having just transited (conjuncted) the USA natal Moon in Aquarius, inflation and higher prices for homes, food, many items needed day to day is on the rise. Printing more and more money without always having real work to represent the money is also contributing to inflationary impulses. Jupiter is coming to trine USA venus (almost) in june, but due to jupiter retrograde won’t come back to do it again till early next year. This good inceptor of higher love showing up for many, most.
I wonder if folks will be kicking into high gear concerning having babies, intensified social life and more fun pleasurable time.
But again times are rough with USA Pluto return and more. During the civil war , Neptune transit was in Pisces opposing the USA midheaven. Neptune is there now in Pisces and we in the USA need to clean up the soil, air and water everywhere, cut use of plastic, and attempt to arouse a ‘higher angel of compassionate smarts’ to renew our relationship to earth, gardening, and a more natural way of healing, finding wholeness.(i use the Sagittarius Rising Chart, but other USA charts can work too).
See Rudolf Steiner books and talks on agriculture, gardening, honey bees, and healthy social life. Another great book on truth and falsities in religion, philosophy, science is the HPB book Isis Unveiled. Steiner praises this book which he well read and actually said CRC wrote the book though HPB! Dig it. We need to unite not divide our common spiritual initiatives and futures!
Yes! We need a ‘Mother Love’ song in our hearts and minds to reawaken a real new age of love and respect sparking the good, true, beautiful in ourselves and other. See my ‘Mother Love’ song on my youtube channel.
Its also a question of rediscovering what truth and lasting friendship is! Something that heals the present into the future, rather than continuing past negative karma? Awakens co-creative impulsetoward a positive future three fold collective social value of wholeness, selfless learning, truth and love one and all, sharing and caring for each other, back yard gardening;without killing the heart, earth, and bees with pesticides and ‘over kill mentality’. See Steiner’s Three fold Social plans and ideas for further sparks of creative political moral imagination.
There is no religion higher than a truth holds us ALL rather than separates us all. There is no science greater than a love that holds us all sacred, together, as family and friend. We need a love and don’t destroy another’s right to a back yard of healthy freedom, freedom to grow and learn, experience, grow unique in contribution and insight.
There is no science other than learning to know the self as ONE with all life, the self alone with inner divinity and connection, inner light. Sacred Aloneness, yet still at ONE with the universal Soul all around us. Unity is diversity! One for All, All for One is a spiritual principle and higher philosophy.
There is no art greater than being human, holding the smallest life and greatest life together in our hearts and minds. Art of being human and divine, spiritual and material is a good way, in a the creative free way, self and other.
There is no good news other than learning how to grow together good, true, beautiful, mutually creative.

May 6 Venus trine Pluto. (affecting week before and after) Make love work no matter. Plan for a love lasts forever. Find ‘forever friends’ to hold you into next life time. Those who feel alone with this aspect need to stop serving your little elf and other little self. Time to find big love, and to help those less fortunate. Good for flowers and flowering good times, friends, love. With debris of Halley’s Comet lighting up the sky in quick flashes this week, there is a sense of clutching to the old true and false tried ways, a seeking of solid anything even if a bit foolish or atavistic.

This full moon opposes last Neptune/Pluto conjunction in late 1800’s in early Gemini. Thus this week coming up to full moon may be filled with huge spiritual insights and realizations. Great time to get the best mayflower bookshop has to offer for further enlightenment, freedom and good times. But also, such aspect reveals the huge shadows modern science and materialism has left us with. Anything and everything wrong with the world and this time in history is making itself known, calling upon each of us to offer our wisdom, love, and good will to correct and heal, to wizen and enlightenment, awaken good, true, beautiful in thought, word, and deed.
Eclipses good for pulling weeds, cutting things out that interfere with higher free minded spiritual activities.
May 27th, Venus square Neptune, as well as Comet Winneke at perihelion this day (once every 6 years) making this comet impel one to boredom and same old same old routine. Avoid dumb sex, seek the eternally divine in each other. Look to Comet Leonard in December, a 70.000 year come around, if you want more excitement in novelty, creative new impulses, and deep messages from the universe to connect and vibe.Venus square Neptune here on the 27th influencing 3-4 days before and after with nostalgia and trivial pursuit; or are creative artists and shaman mystics afoot with joy and over the top learning and attunement. Learn to Love no matter what, love any way you can, garden trees people! Try locking to what lasts forever, ‘forever friends’ and a theosophy of the seven fold soul, 7 earths, 7 levels of consciousness.. (see Steiner and HPB’s Isis Unveiled! beware though of fake love, glamour and external rank and fortune, looks and appearance over inner lasting virtues and values. Good time for the arts and to follow what your deepest heart enlivens. Some feel lost and need to read Foundations of Esotericism by Steiner. Or perhaps Marion Woodman books, i.e.. ‘The Pregnant Virgin’. Difficulties with women or the mother. Need to ‘Mother Love’, to mother and love the little ones as well as the lost one, the earth, stars, hearts, self and other! Yet too, need to love in a way matters to the soul and spirit, as well as the body. High ideals hard to realize and incarnate without good meditation practice, yoga, exercise (gardening), the mindful spiritual knowledge of theosophy, Steiner, Manly Hall, tibetan buddhism, grail christianity, jewish mysticism kabala, neoplatonism, hermetics, wicca, and magical mind.Good for the arts and mystic dreamers. Weather can go in extremes here and there.
May 28th- 29th Mercury conjunct Venus. A mind for true love and communications with forever friends appears again. An appreciation of the arts, harmony of mind and heart, thinking and feeling.

Important aspect for correcting mistakes and cleaning things up, purifying, shifting into higher gears. Avoid knee jerk reactions and hasty moves causing accident or mishap.
***Remember to donate and support this newsletter!!!***
May 31 Mars trine Neptune. Strong ideals motivate to future you as well as make present unfold. Dreams move us into the future. For some, dashing into a foolish future, a mindless lazy projection, necessitating in the future a rude correction. For the others, the quest of the holy grail, what nourishes and is good for us all appears. The quest for the real inner gold. Intelligence and superior nobility, virtue, easy going ness that brings fruition. Danger of going unconscious or being too comfortable causing one to lose track or lose self foolishly, laziness or wrong imagination. Positive for virtuous deeds and brave love, ideals realized.
None-the-less this is good aspect for travel or planning such, music and the arts, playing in nature or voyaging into spiritually mystical experience.
By June i will hone in and rewrite update the following, but here is cliff’s notes of what to come in June.
June 5 Mars oppose Pluto. Weed and cut out wrong habits of eating and thinking. Bad ‘shit happens’ and this may be one of those times. Negative emotions screw things up. Let not fear void you. This aspect brings out the need for good police and military to keep the law and support what is right, good, socially just. Otherwise this is an aspect where some feel abused, or abuse. Good aspect for research and representing truth. Need to support what is right, truth, lasting love, a sense of eternity and ever deep love wish for enlightenment as many levels,many life times. For some its a time to be really stupid about one’s own soul life and spiritual failures coming in the future, if not now. Avoid others who go overboard with negativity and projecting evil without giving inner work to transform self to change the world. Avoid crowds and travel with such aspect unless very well planned. Take care not to use force, but wisdom, to try for change. Weird tensions of opposites at this time. Stormy blistering fighting spirit. Sense of the enemy. Much wisdom and love needed here, as well as right action and defense. Weird weather and times for next few weeks.
June 10 New Moon Solar Eclipse 19 Gemini, Sun conjunct Mercury. Now a you that lives forever talks. Love and truth light reveals shadows of what needs work on, weeding, composting, and being patient for. Some need strong change. Demon Lovers are what we do that thwart and diminish us. Angel lovers are the virtues noble that make us big enough to handle anything with truth and love and creative interacting. For some its a time period coming that will cut them off from freedom. For others its a time to heal and pull themselves back into healing, re-uniting mind and heart, feeling deep spiritual soul weaving capable of creating family, friends, social life, and renewing the world mindfully. Hard facts emerge forcing tough quick decisions now and in coming weeks. Much good can happen when real TRUTH emerges and heart wisdom compassion, head smarts prevail. Sun Mercury makes for strong truth to emerge which enlightens and raises consciousness, or burns in a way because one wasn’t in the past listening well with one’s heart. None-the-less new beginnings which will better things is at hand.
June 13 Sun square Neptune. Some run and escape, others show up for the dream. Here fools rush in orangels come at last moment to help. Can’t always trust angels to immediately appear so beware, be careful, be alert, be still with wisdom love peace and heart. Don’t fall apart, take heart and listen deep to what the whole of your life is teaching you. Here some plot and plan and project good or bad, others pull back and dream anew. Beware of lies to yourself which blind you to lies of others. Beware of not loving self which attracts others to not love you. For some , soul weaving and mating at higher level. For others, time to plan better futures. If inspired, this is good aspect. For some its draining and one has to not do things that vampirize nor drain energy of self or other.
June 14th Saturn square Uranus. Ex President Donald Trump’s Birthday…..so he’s part of this tough Sat/Uran struggle for what is perceived as security vs what is freedom. Truth holds all of us makes us free, an inner stillness and inbreathe to the heart holds all of us gives true security. May love and truth find us all not fool.
Tough real issues emerge. Sense of good and evil , right and wrong, black and white. Need to heal and reconcile past, but also need to move into a future includes us all.This is the second of three squares of saturn/uranus. Securing freedom, and freeing what is stuck. Grounding the wildest genius to matter, mattering to resound the highest genius. The past and future conflict. Freedom versus lack of.Wisdom and genius combine for some to create a new self, a new world. In the news lots of quarreling without much wisdom and loving way. Saturn wants to control and Uranus in Taurus wants to create a new ground, a new space, and new currency or current of current affairs; a new conversation more pliant to future needs, future worlds, future heart. Need for security and freedom search for harmonious solutions. Old out worn structures cracking.
June 20th Summer Solstice, Sun enters Cancer; Jupiter goes retrograde. Here one can discern what Angels know, truth and love is now abundant. Yet many can’t handle the light and avoid being seen. Whew! May truth free, love conjoin deepen renew, may art renew and save the world. Some try to turn back the clock, attempting to find the wisdom of the past, the true insights rising from our past mistakes, trying to rediscover the true friend, as we move into the unsure future. The days now get shorter and yes, enjoy summer but fall is coming. If good fruition, seeds for future forming; no worry of falling,back to ground of truth, love, emptiness practice, will hold you into fall. A sense of inner self whispering secrets of the ‘way to go’.
June 21st Venus trine Neptune. Imagine the future with you in it! Be the holy one you idealize ! High ideals of art, movies/pics, kisses and imaginations of melting into higher unity, spiritual love motivates one now to dream the impossible dream, scheme the incredible yet to be, free what you true believe to be you, true, divining self with others that co-creatively renew your sense of belonging, satisfying your longing. For some its feeling lost enough to look again, imagine again, what could be if only…..we could love ourselves rightly, be still long enough to grow in new ways.

Here’s a new song not out yet as i wait to rejoin the Detroit Jewels in recording…
Astro News from robert of mayflower
April 9th Mars square Neptune. This is a major weird aspect. On one hand one can reach and kiss the stars, magic can happen; on the other hand weird wrong turns, accidents, fears, ecology pollution/problems, guns going off stupid, bluffs lies and false dreams waste some away. Courage for real friendships and love can’t fail as golden friendship emerge. Mysterious partings and comings together almost make one believe in God, Karma, Destiny, genius, or on the other hand foolish devils of ignorance and delusion. This may be worst aspect of the month for lies and wrong turns wasting life, or does one rise with the angels to higher love and truth, gardening and mystical experience of oneness with God, Nature, the universal mind, art and healthy food and fun!?!
Major aspect for toxins in body and earth and mind, avoid risk taking, gambling, blind belief, or getting too high or drunk. This aspect notorious for over dosing, wrong prescripts, weird reactions to things, substances, others. Don’t let your imagination run off without you. For some this is crazy good music or art time, love and adventure. For others, its getting lost and losing boundaries. For some, affairs of the mind and heart reveal higher truth and love, creative happenings, divine arts of the mystery schools are revealed in spirit and soul holding all futures here now. Neptune Mars can be fires, floods, crashes, weird deaths or endings new beginnings. Positively its creative ‘active imagination’ in Jungian sense. Hard to know what’s real with this aspect, what’s true or not. One needs imagination and inspiration, intuition in Rudolf Steiner meaning of it , here now.
Others may reject you, but never reject your own possibility of learning, growing, awakening, divining ultimate truth and love.
April 11 Venus square Pluto on New Moon 22 degrees Aries. A sense and need for a love heals the world! Deeply moving times. Interesting endings and new beginnings. Be happy for others if you wish them to ever be happy for you. Many interesting endings and new beginnings. A sense of plutocracy and insider controls, or a sense of renewal and new times before us. Good time to renew our sense of self and let go and let god.
Time to cut out the ‘dumb stuff’, rid oneself of the chaotic animal people peeing on your party and parade. Time to quit being caught in psychodrama and petty life styles stuck in limitation, rejections, denials, estrangement, separatist values. Attachment to perishables brings fear, love and a touch of the eternal virtues banishes fear and brings luck and good destiny. Fearful of unknowns (the misunderstood self, lacking nature of mind and virtue) brings downfall. Love everyone, even if you don’t like em or need to part ways. Love anyway.
Love all the earth, dispel illusion of separateness. Learn to see the love and truth screaming in everyone to come out. Let others take turn shining in the light. Envision many lives rolled into one heart mind stream.
For some this next few weeks is opportunity to learn to sing and love in new ways healing self and world round. For yet others; rejection brings quietude and reflection, conscience and hopefully, new wisdoms insights and future goings. This aspect carries into April 16th Sun square Pluto. Avoid jealousy and negative emotions, attachment. Love others for who they are. Love yourself enough to keep learning, not burning. This aspect can separate one from others, or more strongly unite one with others. Love and hate make us immortal, choose love!
Let go and let God is a good one, but so is ‘God helps those who help themselves”!
April 16th Sun square Pluto. New light on old problems? Good time to go on spiritual retreat? Awakening the heart of infinite compassion? Need to help mother nature help us? Partings of sweet sorrow? Need to dig in deeper or pull out? Pulling out old foundations or thinking and laying new foundations, inner realizations, to formulate better tomorrow’s today! Letting go and letting God? Some come to Completion, others just come good. Some feel bad and let down, others grow by learning from mistakes. Love anyway, you don’t have to like. Condemnation or forgiveness? Inevitable endings and/or new beginnings. Intensified unions or communions, or is it need again to be alone. Coming to power or losing power is the theme here. Loving anyway, every way, not losing self but gaining deep research and prospective. Making serious plans, but avoid attachment, jealous craziness.
Seeing is the first step, action the second. The third step is listening again to see.
April 22 Venus conjunct Uranus. Creative opportunity inner and outer to flower!? Sudden realizations that free, sudden realizations that make angels fall and rise again from the heart. Here genius joins heart and mind to create new circumstances and opportunities. Fast as it comes, fast as it goes; so take it easy and slow, enjoy.Sudden intensification of the love urge and/or creativity propels events. With Moon in Virgo avoid over criticalness which may make lucky times backfire. Good for body work and cleaning, rearranging and redreaming, rebooting, re-energizing.
Knowledge without love is crazy.
April 24 Mercury conjunct Uranus. Time to read the 7 best books at mayflower and get over yourself to find and save the world you know, maybe don’t know! Opportunities to free the mind obscured by attachment, projection, desire, fear, and lack of truth holds all of us. Sudden creative insights and thoughts, opportunities and connections.
Love without knowledge, wisdom, is blind.
April 25th Venus square Saturn. Good for meditation, yoga, Steiner, HPB, NeoPlatonism, Manly Hall, tibetan buddhism all in one day.

June 10 New Moon Solar Eclipse 19 Gemini, Sun conjunct Mercury. Now a you that lives forever talks. Love and truth light reveals shadows of what needs work on, weeding, composting, and being patient for. Some need strong change. Demon Lovers are what we do that thwart and diminish us. Angel lovers are the virtues noble that make us big enough to handle anything with truth and love and creative interacting. For some its a time period coming that will cut them off from freedom. For others its a time to heal and pull themselves back into healing, re-uniting mind and heart, feeling deep spiritual soul weaving capable of creating family, friends, social life, and renewing the world mindfully. Hard facts emerge forcing tough quick decisions now and in coming weeks. Much good can happen when real TRUTH emerges and heart wisdom compassion, head smarts prevail.

None-the-less new beginnings which will better things is at hand.

June 14th Saturn square Uranus. Ex President Donald Trump’s Birthday…..so he’s part of this tough Sat/Uran struggle for what is perceived as security vs what is freedom.

Tough real issues emerge. Sense of good and evil , right and wrong, black and white. Need to heal and reconcile past, but also need to move into a future includes us all.This is the second of three squares of saturn/uranus. Securing freedom, and freeing what is stuck. Grounding the wildest genius to matter, mattering to resound the highest genius. The past and future conflict. Freedom versus lack of. Wisdom and genius combine for some to create a new self, a new world. In the news lots of quarreling without much wisdom and loving way.

Some try to turn back the clock, attempting to find the wisdom of the past, the true insights rising from our past mistakes, trying to rediscover the true friend, as we move into the unsure future. The days now get shorter and yes, enjoy summer but fall is coming. If good fruition, seeds for future forming; no worry of falling, back to ground of truth, love, emptiness practice, will hold you into fall. A sense of inner self whispering secrets of the ‘way to go’.
June 21st Venus trine Neptune. Imagine the future with you in it! Be the holy one you idealize ! High ideals of art, movies/pics, kisses and imaginations of melting into higher unity, spiritual love motivates one now to dream the impossible dream, scheme the incredible yet to be, free what you true believe to be you, true, divining self with others that co-creatively renew your sense of belonging, satisfying your longing. For some its feeling lost enough to look again, imagine again, what could be if only…..we could love ourselves rightly, be still long enough to grow in new ways.
When the World Word brushes the strings of our heart, and the soul in harmony with such higher love and truth awakens in virtuous Spiritual deeds, the new age of joyful peace, the true Aquarian Age, will appear, sing, and walk this world together with us.
The prevention or healing of tension is sought by harmonizing the internal life with the external life, the holy inner life flowering in harmony and attunement to the outer world. In creativity and spiritual practice, meditation and yoga, the inner and outer nature reflect each other to rise in a higher commerce, intelligence, and union. This creates both wellness and inner wealth. overflowing and flowering in stone, plant, beast and animal, wind and star, hearts and mind
. We become human by mindful virtue, stillness and deed. The heart mind soul learns to balance body/mind, spirit/soul, earth/body in cosmic harmony, love and truth. With feet upon the earth and head in the stars, heart in each other, each other in our hearts; we learn to discover and rediscover our hugeness, our wholeness, our littleness and smallness; and like in the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, our resurrection self, our ascension self, our raising of consciousness self may then aspire and inspire us onwards in virtue and deed, in helping others be free, awakened, ennobled with one’s highest dream ideal realized in every day life. It all starts with stillness, peace of mind, and invoking at oneness with all life. To know the self is to know the other, to know the other is to know oneself..

Awaken the dream in virtuous actions.
March 10th Sun conjunct Neptune into New Moon on 13th has some people reaching for the stars and others going crazy with split personalities, projected dreams and ideals, illusions and fantasies, false fears and desires. Great aspect for the arts, music, creativity, high romance and psychic intuitive experience as long as one can stay grounded, practical, with common sense. With Neptune aspects drink or smoke seems much stronger, delusions and obsessions can put one over the top. Strong shifts in what one believes in. Danger in over betting or gambling in stocks or more, reversals of luck, states of unconsciousness precipitating misfortune and downfall, loss of name, fame, game. Some go over the top and can fly, most when getting carried away crash. Avoid mass hypnosis by living a simple virtuous life, especially now. Again, for some its a super wild creative higher love time and fun get-a-way. But many a future promised these days will not reach fulfillment. Many feel lost and abandoned, while some feel found.
Reflect the truth, then Shine.
March 12th Moon conjunct Venus may trigger events of adventure, love, romance, or illusionary escapes be it good or bad. Spirits of the past conflict with future needs and spiritual callings. If inspired March 9th to 13th, much can be attained, much can be done; Otherwise nebulous dreaming and fantasy, ‘getting high’ etc. can side track one into getting nothing done. Yet Moon/Venus invokes feelings of love and appreciation, receptivity artistic and feeling wise.
Truth is what holds all of us. The ultimate conspiracy is that the heart has not yet fully flowered with intelligence. All other conspiracies are shadows of the self. (See ‘Isis Unveiled’ and ‘the Secret Doctrine’ by Blavatsky, as well as ‘Foundations of Esotericism’ by Steiner for full explanation of spiritual science.
March13th Venus conjoins Neptune on New Moon in dreamy Pisces ruled by idealistic Neptune. Personal love and self interest at odds and may conflict with greater big love or projects. Mother love and universal love strong now. Take care not to day dream too much of the past and future depriving one’s sense of presence and present. Keep to the higher truth and love holds us all so that one’s private life doesn’t conflict with one’s public life. Neptune is on negative side, lies and scandals and half unconscious affairs that can lead to disappointment.
Some retreat to quietude and contemplation of more eternal truths. Other’s pursue high adventure and the romance of the world. Still others not resonating at the higher octave of their planets plummet into confusion or let down, disappointment in love, obsession and weird emotions of attachment and over active imagination. Again, all the planets have higher and lower octaves of inclination and evocation, choose higher love and truth, and turn off the TV, off the News, Off the electronics and experience pure inner and outer nature in self and other.
Each day is a new beginning, each glance another chance, to find spiritual wholeness, hope.
March 20 Spring Equinox Sun enters Aries ruled by Mars. Now is the time to enter into the spirit of the Christos, the infinite universal understanding and love for good potential in all. Now the awakening mind stream messenger comeths, Hermes Sophia, the wisdom message of the gods. Here the etheric Christ is possible to experience, the fresh breath of spiring, the glimpse of the aquarian age and the return of the New Jerusalem, the renewed garden of eden can be felt in our hearts. Its a feeling for connection to all life that every true artist feels. Its a stillness awakening from dream in our heart mind continuum, in our YogiMind (see my ‘Astrological Aspects, the Art’ book) to be co-creative with all that is divine inward out. Now into full moon March 28th, things really quicken and take off in many a good highly energized direction.
March 29th day after full moon , Mercury conjuncts Neptune, so many a thing started early March continues to grow; for some its turning point and wilting of the flowering. None-the-less, its magic. Many born and many leave, the spiritual worlds are thinning their veil. Many start to experience a very real spiritual possibility for the world and self. Some others wilt or give up wrong paths and directions misguided and unfruitful. What is real and what is not real becomes more evident now.
Actions speak louder than words.
March 21st, Mars trine Saturn. Some design to resign, others more bold plot for the future willing to sacrifice bad habits or superficiality so to deepen waters and success and strengthen one’s way for sureness, attainment, and truth. Some surrender to karma or authority, some have too much to do and work out; while others work to be alone if not with the sacred other. Need to strongly separate from negativity or what’s not working. Strong urge to have right purpose in life, will to succeed.
A holy mind is a stillness forever friend, the tongue is at best the edge of the garden we aspire to. Have heart. Anger is the worst non virtue, attachment keeps us stuck there.
March 23 Mercury square Mars. Some succumb to the same ole, same old; some fight argue and conflict; while still others quiet the mind and learn to let love and higher truth persist. Avoid talk without action. Avoid action without thought. Breathe strongly inward and let go, before acting or speaking, before re-thinking. Positively , much could be quickly achieved.
True love considers at least 3 lifetimes at once. True love blesses the world and avoids acting out of separateness, yet a garden fence can be helpful. Imagination of world peace is the beginning…new creative opportunities a sign of the path.
March 26 Sun conjunct Venus brings love and friendship into the full moon coming… Being Love, living it! Rather than just talking it, or future promising it, Be Love Now. Being and shining it doesn’t mean one has to ‘do’ anything. Be it, breathe it in, bless the world, and give yourself to all you love. Share. Bless to be blessed. Be happy for others who find happiness, don’t compare. Each person is unique, and each brings out some virtue or non-virtue in us. Avoid rash spending. Beautiful gifts are right on.
No one can take the full moon, the full expression of the Buddha of Compassion and Wisdom, the holy grail of serving the heart of all.
March 28th Full Moon 8 degrees Libra. One now can relax into relationships or partnerships. Some others persist in fighting for everything. Great time for friendship and the arts, music, feeling connected. If feeling alone, do art, write a poem, journal, be still with yourself and listen with your heart to art the way to happiness.
To imagine the impossible dream can invoke the inspiration to the good true beautiful , intuiting the divine in each of us. Psychology alone is full of ghosts. The Holy Ghost is the wish of enlightenment. Emptiness practice is just the beginning of the magic of knowing this for oneself.
March 29th Mercury conjunct Neptune followed by March 30th Venus sextile Saturn. Strong ideals wish to manifest and incarnate, become real. For some, false ideals and dreams begin to face practical realities, limitations. Positive and real possibilities can manifest if willing to work. Some see need to escape, others to dig in deeper. What is real and what is not real may reveal itself now more clearly. Avoid gamble or believing in another, believe in one’s self. Read Emerson’s ‘Self Reliance’ yet? Read Steiner or Manly Hall? NeoPlatonism or Hermetics? The Mayflower Bookshop is awaiting you!
All lies begin with lying to ourselves about the true nature of self and other. Stillness listening to the heart listening, the wish of holy virtue, knocks on the door to enlightenment, lasting happiness, and right mind.
April 9th Mars square Neptune. Major aspect for toxins in body and earth and mind, avoid risk taking, gambling, blind belief, or getting too high or drunk. This aspect notorious for over dosing, wrong prescripts, weird reactions to things, substances, others. Don’t let your imagination run off without you. For some this is crazy good music or art time, love and adventure. For others, its getting lost and losing boundaries. For some, affairs of the mind and heart reveal higher truth and love, creative happenings, divine arts of the mystery schools are revealed in spirit and soul holding all futures here now. Neptune Mars can be fires, floods, crashes, weird deaths or endings new beginnings. Positively its creative ‘active imagination’ in Jungian sense. Hard to know what’s real with this aspect, what’s true or not. One needs imagination and inspiration, intuition in Rudolf Steiner meaning of it , here now.
Others may reject you, but never reject your own possibility of learning, growing, awakening, divining ultimate truth and love.
April 11 Venus square Pluto on New Moon 22 degrees Aries. Deeply moving times. Interesting endings and new beginnings. Be happy for others if you wish them to ever be happy for you. Many interesting endings and new beginnings. A sense of plutocracy and insider controls, or a sense of renewal and new times before us. Good time to renew our sense of self and let go and let god.
Time to cut out the ‘dumb stuff’, rid oneself of the chaotic animal people peeing on your party and parade. Time to quit being caught in psychodrama and petty life styles stuck in limitation, rejections, denials, estrangement, separatist values. Attachment to perishables brings fear, love and a touch of the eternal virtues banishes fear and brings luck and good destiny. Fearful of unknowns (the misunderstood self, lacking nature of mind and virtue) brings downfall. Love everyone, even if you don’t like em or need to part ways. Love anyway.
Love all the earth, dispel illusion of separateness. Learn to see the love and truth screaming in everyone to come out. Let others take turn shining in the light. Envision many lives rolled into one heart mind stream.
For some this next few weeks is opportunity to learn to sing and love in new ways healing self and world round. For yet others; rejection brings quietude and reflection, conscience and hopefully, new wisdoms insights and future goings. This aspect carries into April 16th Sun square Pluto. Avoid jealousy and negative emotions, attachment. Love others for who they are. Love yourself enough to keep learning, not burning. This aspect can separate one from others, or more strongly unite one with others. Love and hate make us immortal, choose love!
Let go and let God is a good one, but so is ‘God helps those who help themselves”!
April 16th Sun square Pluto. New light on old problems? Pulling out old foundations or thinking and laying new foundations, inner realizations, to formulate better tommorrow’s today! Letting go and letting God? Some come to Completion, others just come good. Some feel bad and let down, others grow by learning from mistakes. Love anyway, you don’t have to like. Condemnation or forgiveness? Inevitable endings and/or new beginnings. Intensified unions or communions, or is it need again to be alone. Coming to power or losing power is the theme here. Loving anyway, every way, not losing self but gaining deep research and prospective. Making serious plans, but avoid attachment, jealous craziness.
Seeing is the first step, action the second. The third step is listening again to see.
April 22 Venus conjunct Uranus. Sudden realizations that free, sudden realizations that make angels fall and rise again from the heart. Here genius joins heart and mind to create new circumstances and opportunities. Fast as it comes, fast as it goes; so take it easy and slow, enjoy.Sudden intensification of the love urge and/or creativity propels events. With Moon in Virgo avoid over criticalness which may make lucky times backfire. Good for body work and cleaning, rearranging and redreaming, rebooting, re-energizing.
Knowledge without love is crazy.
April 24 Mercury conjunct Uranus. Opportunities to free the mind obscured by attachment, projection, desire, fear, and lack of truth holds all of us. Sudden creative insights and thoughts, opportunities and connections.
Love without knowledge, wisdom, is blind.
April 25th Venus square Saturn. Here is an opportunity to grow with hard earned insights quietly attained with patient persistent perseverance. Here is an opportunity to realize how love lasts but forms change. Over awareness of problems weigh one down. A psychosis won’t let you go.

Now we try to turn back the clock, attempting to find the wisdom of the past, the true insights rising from our past mistakes, trying to rediscover the true friend, as we move into the unsure future. The days now get shorter and yes, enjoy summer but fall is coming. If good fruition, seeds for future forming; no worry of falling, back to ground of truth, love, emptiness practice, will hold you into fall. A sense of inner self whispering secrets of the ‘way to go’.
June 21st Venus trine Neptune. High ideals of art, movies/pics, kisses and imaginations of melting into higher unity, spiritual love motivates one now to dream the impossible dream, scheme the incredible yet to be, free what you true believe to be you, true, divining self with others that co-creatively renew your sense of belonging, satisfying your longing. For some its feeling lost enough to look again, imagine again, what could be if only…..we could love ourselves rightly, be still long enough to grow in new ways.
June 23 Venus oppose Pluto. Jealousy and attachment mess reality up now. Or is it digging in and letting go, trusting the eternal to hold your soul. A sense of the deeps and what one should keep or not keep prevail. Rid yourself of old things no longer needed to make space for the new. Don’t give what you can’t afford. Share, don’t give, share. Time of super sensitivity so don’t freak our but breathe deeper to find right connection with self and others, higher self and world. Forgive but don’t forget lesson. Make connections good for all time.
June 24 Full Moon 3 degree Capricorn. Live for today, yet live into tomorrow next year and years to come. be deep grounded yet flower to the stars and back again. Prove its the Aquarian Age by getting beyond yourself and becoming the dream you are. Good time to gain sense of life long learning direction you and your world is going in. Take nothing personal other than your own higher self hard earned wishing to become, ever change and renew, to know it all by proving it in deeds of virtue, love, and truth. Live the life to come to know the true teachings.
July 1 Mars oppose Saturn. Ok, everything blocks you from success, being yourself, or playing god, being virtues in the becoming. Your other choice is shut up and be the lasting one, be the loving one, be the deepest one holds all of us; but shut up……be patient, keep working, blame no other but self cherishing, be and become the one you never had who would have saved you back then…

July 3rd Mars square Uranus. Dangerous times. Or is it highly creative and demanding of new thinking, new freedoms, daring adventure? Don’t go through changes, be the unchanging truth, stillness, emptiness practice, the genius behind the whisper, the ground of dreams, the stillness recognizes happiness and avoids projection, anger, and judgement. Be the one changes your world.This aspect stormy, angry, short tempered, accidents, sudden quick nature events. Can get lots done, but too much nerve or force not good. Danger when gambling or moving too fast.
july 6 Mercury square Neptune, Venus oppose Saturn. Don’t lie, live your highest truth alone without blaming others. Don’t fall, don’t fly, just be here and suffer the little ones to come close, heal and joy. Good aspect for real conversations, coming out of the clouds, making practical plans, cleaning and deepening spiritual practice.
July 8th Venus square Uranus. Let love have its say, but don’t wreck your world unless you are willing to let go of the past and ascend to the next higher level. Need for freedom of thought, inner deep heart, spirit soul creative co-operation. Patience and creativity enlivens friendships.
July 9th new moon 18 Cancer. Make food heals, make love reveals, make it land to newly truly understand, each of us is child of the universe but its time to become adult about it. Be still and know. Plant your mind in your heart after pulling all the weeds of negative thought.
July 13 Venus conjunct Mars. Love works best when yr in the mood. No one can make you love. Love has ‘a real you’ involved. Make it a wise investment, a freeing yourself of material attachment, a commitment of self to fully knowing, loving, awakening, head/heart/hand. Make it into play, free, transcendent, gently enlightening of everything and nothing, no-thing. Avoid fights or attracting differences. Playfully redirect things to higher awareness, otherwise tomorrow.
July 17 Sun oppose Pluto. If things seem to have gone the limit, make a return to love, compassion, or at least wisdom for the future. Things that go to extremes, break. Much jealous behaviour or actions of selfishness and power over rather than power through. Power plays can backfire or go astray. Compassion and social political justice need prevail over anger/hate/violence and losing it. Good aspect for Christ Consciousness, Compassion and Bodhi Mind, Buddha heart mind. Here negativity is its own reward as my first spiritual teacher Philip Knight use to say. Great aspect for intimacy and deep inner connection for some.
July 22 Venus oppose Jupiter. Some over do, go over the top, give too much, or take in too much and fart, over do, over indulge, or are cheap and deny love’s art and mind for peace, joy, happiness. Share equally with give and take, seek social justice leaves free the thinking, art, religions, and culture; making every man and woman, child, a brother and sister, family, of the art and science of money, angels, every day work and play whether sweet or tart, good. Astrology is the art of invoking stars within us, radiance of the good/true/beautiful all about us.
July 23 Full Moon 1 degree Aquarius inspires, what some astrologers say, is the Aquarian Age which is coming now or the world is ending, like it or not. Last Solstice Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aquarius hadn’t happened since high middle ages grail cathedral templar troubadour times. Beware of accidental materialists, who are mechanical occultists who deny in spirit and soul, a greater ‘Oneness’ and ‘Universal Mind Heart’. This higher octave accessible in our Soul is operative in the relationship of our own self and others, as well as in the energetic influences of the wandering stars, planets, of astrology. The Aquarian Age is coming in few hundred years as to the vernal equinox. But, according to Steiner, Swami Yogananda, and more, me; the Aquarian Age is here now in the Etheric realm precipitating spiritual events, in the heart mind realm of reality. To Steiner, Alice Bailey and more, it is the reappearance of the Christ in the Etheric. Just saying then, that this and many other moments in astrological reckoning, one is able to access such high energetics and higher consciousness at will, divine will.
July 29 Mars oppose Jupiter. Those who oppose real friends who art to love and love to art, thwart progress in freedom, truth, arts and culture. Freedom of thinking is imperative. The quest of the good true beautiful is a necessity to life like breathing and food. To impose on us the force of control, demonizing, over riding, without social and political justice world wide is a real problem to future happiness. Education is everything! Forcing upon us rather than sparking, inspiriting, inspiring, invoking, unfolding truth and love in each and all is foolishness. To the good true beautiful for all, we unite to resist, not divide to conquer. To see truth within us all, beautifulness within us all, love within us all is the art and divination of angels. Be an angel. Mars/Jupiter knows how to have a good time but needs to not over indulge and escape long term realities.
August 22 full moon Mars trine uranus, and moon conjunct jupiter. Now is the time to connect with everyone you know who is beautiful, lovable, true, magically able to spark, inspire,pull or push us toward our own divinity, freedom, and higher love, truth. Go forward to loving this world whether it comes or goes up or down. Great time to make amends, party for awakening happiness joy friendship. Great time to study and do creative music, arts, research, allowing breakthroughs and new flight.
August 23 Venus trine Saturn. Nice time to surrender to those helped you be you, better than you, forever true to the big picture holds all of us co-creatively at peace, happiness, joy. Avoid conspiracy negatives without positive change for good. Avoid scapegoating others instead of working on self for real change. Learning to love good work is at hand.
Aug 24 Mercury opp Neptune. We lie to ourselves, that’s why its easy to lie to others. Materialists think others should change. Spiritual ones think self is secret of real change to awaken and rearrange the world for better. Believe in what you can do for yourself today , not others promising a better future. On the other hand, for some, the world is trying to tell you to try something new. But be patient as to what that is…., unless sure. Don’t let fear decide, let love.
Aug 26 Mercury trine Pluto. Now is the time to think, make a few demands honor all of us, state our needs, complain but yet dream, of better worlds than just fish and chips, or fun snacks and idle entertainment. Dig deep into higher wisdom truths, Study and meditate, don’t vegetate.

Robert of Mayflower’s AstroNews feb 2021 ~ Super Bowl and More!
The stars impel, don’t compel.
The planets are the wandering stars.
The planets reflect what we think/feel/do, not cause;
though at times they can strongly tell us what time it is
and give strong hint as to our possibilities, tendencies, probabilities;
but still one if free to resonate at higher or lower frequencies.
There is always free will, and a higher and lower octave to planetary
influences. It is out of our free will and creative heart mind to reach
for the higher octave of our starry nature, and to resonate to the best
in both ourselves and other.
Ask for anything, but accept the way it is for now, and don’t fail
to turn up the universal love, live your highest truth. Be patient
or become a patient. Ha! Aha!

Super Bowl Sunday News~Who’s gonna win? Me or You?
With transiting Uranus opposing natal Uranus in Buccaneers’ quarterback Tom Brady’s astrology chart, thinks and things may be a bit upsetting and not go as planned. Transiting Sun opposing his natal Saturn portends of ‘contractions’ and need to concentrate, avoid mishap, and work practical ground better, playing things safer and not over thrown. Hopefully no more scandals. Jupiter transit trines his mars/pluto making grand trine but opposes his Sun.Whew! Trines can make for winner but often make one lazy or over confident. Tom Brady is a super star no matter what happens. He’s a million dollar baby if cockiness and ego don’t sweep him away. With Saturn transit about to square his Uranus, he may be in for a good sit down for a spell, and this aspect will make him want to root deeper, retreat a bit, and think harder about the future and the bigger picture, long run. And yea, this could indicate tougher time, but there is always a higher octave to planets and aspects that each of us can attune to, activate, and manifest. It could be big projects he’s about to undertake, maybe. Although other astrologers (who predicted Mrs. Clinton to win 4 years back) are predicting Brady and the Buccaneers to win today, and yes why not with his transit Jupiter grand trine; i wonder if its in the stars for him to be good loser. Have to admit though, he is not your average guy, he purports to be into many healthy eating and lifestyle, and seems happy no matter what~ He is a star of his own becoming being in ten Superbowls. His venus/Jupiter natal gives him love and happiness, his Sun/Saturn in tenth gives him long lastingness and wisdom, His Uranus in first house gives him originality and willingness to change, grow, learn. Moon in Aries in natal chart gives him get up and go, wanting always to count and score first. .
There is a higher and lower possibility to all events, choose higher love and truth. ~rt
“If we can stay with the tension of
opposites long enough —sustain it,
be true to it—we can sometimes
become vessels within which the
divine opposites come together and
give birth to a new reality.”
― Marie-Louise von Franz
All Aspects influence bit of time before and after exact date.
jan. 28 Full moon
for two weeks~ Many feel misunderstood, alone or rejected, perhaps things not working as expected or projected, need to get out of stuckness and old patterns. Finding time for ‘down time’, ‘alone time’ reflective and meditative stillness is key to sure roads ahead.
Feb. 1st Sun squares Mars making for assertive forward motion right or wrong. Avoid running over others dreams without offering better dream. Aha! Avoid ‘angry for no good reason’ other than personal feelings of hurt or persecution. Right action toward higher truth and love works wonders. As does the assertion of the good true beautiful you are, or wish to be.
Feb. 6th Venus conjunct Saturn and Venus square Uranus ~
Here folks can feel love or lack of such…..driving urges for change, or to invoke higher octaves to activate ascension or descent of consciousness depending on the circumstances, karma, and conscious or unconscious activity and prowess. Its wild with Venus coming next week to conjunct Jupiter. We live in a world where opposite realities fight for main stage and often appear simultaneously pretending to be one, or within one moment.
Feb 7th is the Super Bowl, Super join up for fun? … or Stupor Bowl, Stupid Bowl, or Super Escape fun depending on how you think. Although a number of astrologers who four years ago predicted Trump to lose and avoided recent hard predictions are predicting Brady and Buccaneers to win, i wonder. Perhaps we’re nearing the philosophy of the game ‘GO’ where both sides equally win in time, versus chess where there is always a loser for one to win?! From looks of astrology chart for start of game, Mars off midheaven indicates more for ‘Chiefs’ or favored team to win. As does Moon in 5th trine Uranus in 9th. (for you astrologers). Not that it matters for many. I’m sure both teams and quarterbacks see themselves as winners financially and with popularity. I myself with gardening was as popular and fun for majority, clean air, water, healthy food, and world peace making, social justice, co-creative futures good for one and all!
May the Good times roll.
Feb 8th Sun conjunct Mercury retrograde sparks a week plus, into Feb. 24th, of sudden turn arounds or wake up calls. A time where and when thinks and things can spiritually start to make sense. One can begin to feel more sure of the way with self and other, work and play, security and freedom, all in a sense of knowing oneself better.
Lots of truths and love begin to come now into happier spring summer.
Feb 10th Mercury square Mars, Moon conjunct venus/jupiter. A struggle for lasting truth, truce, and socially creative participation, two way conversations. Don’t bark as others if you don’t want to have em bark or bite back.
The third degree of [Alchemical] conjunction is universal: it is relation or identity of the personal with the supra-personal atman, and of the individual tao with the universal tao. . . .
~Carl Jung, CW 14, Para 762.
Feb 11th New Moon influencing next 2 weeks if not four. Think and work positive. Venus conjunct Jupiter. Attempts to make greater peace and love with world around.
Generosity and compromise for important matters. Beautifying.
Into cosmic distances I will carry My feeling heart, so that it grows warm In the fire of the holy forces’ working;
Into cosmic thoughts I will weave My own thinking, so that it grows clear In the light of eternal life-becoming;
Into depths of soul I will sink Devoted contemplation, so that it grows strong For the true goals of human activity.
In the peace of God I strive thus Amidst life’s battles and cares To prepare myself for the higher Self;
Aspiring to work in joy-filled peace, Sensing cosmic being in my own being, I seek to fulfill my human duty;
May I live then in anticipation, Oriented toward my soul’s star Which gives me my place in spirit realms.
—Rudolf Steiner
Feb 12-13th Mercury conjunct Venus brings opportunities to further, deliver, gain, come to know, explore, communicate better, more harmony.
Feb 14th Mercury conjunct Jupiter. Hopefully more good news how Virus receding in many parts. More good news about economy and friendships, money and love.
What, on a lower level, had led to the wildest conflicts and to panicky outbursts of emotion, now looks like a storm in the valley seen from the mountaintop. This does not mean that the storm is robbed of its reality, but instead of being in it one is above it.
Feb 17th Saturn square Uranus first of 3! This is what this year is about. Moon aspect Uranus/Saturn sparks events making for grinding contrasts and oppositions, feisty controverse, testy times, stormy weather or upsetting nature or human events. Freedom and security fight struggle for harmony. Compromise and patience is called for. Many a difficult ending or new beginning at hand. Urge for freedom and rights at odds with bottom line, and perhaps what’s best for long run. What is real necessity and truth or freedom needs be looked at deeper. Perhaps Rudolf Steiner, HP Blavatsky, and Osho could help. Do your research at Mayflower bookshop.
Feb 19 Venus square Mars. Great for making good friendships grow, difficult for fighting or arguing to get point across. Venus is cats, Mars dogs; be careful ! This aspect intensifies everything. Need to balance receptiveness with assertiveness and vice versa. Keep to the verse or song of life and not the vices. Aha!
It requires no art to become stupid; the whole art lies in extracting wisdom
from stupidity. Stupidity is the mother of the wise,
but cleverness never.
~Carl Jung, CW 13, Para 222
Feb. 20th Mercury goes direct, so now the mind has opportunity to be clearer, to progress into forward motion with clarity and more free will.
Healing comes only from what leads the patient beyond himself and beyond his entanglements in the ego.
~Carl Jung, CW 13, Para 397
Feb 24 Mars trine Pluto. The world seems like its progressing. Put your best foot forward, and your other in the mouth of ignorance.
Correct ideas have a healing
effect on man, and wrong ideas make him sick. One can find a
wrong idea behind every disease, if one traces it back.
Mankind in general is responsible for this and not
individuals. Interest also has a destructive effect when
people run from one sensation to the other and always want
to be amused. That makes people sick. It’s also a
hindrance to progress to have a personal interest in higher
knowledge. Men become scleroticized thereby. A man must not
become indifferent to his surroundings. He must retain his
feeling and sympathy for his surroundings. Some say that
sympathy can also come from egotism. That may be the case.
Many kinds of sympathy only arise because one doesn’t want
to see other people suffer. That’s even a good thing.
It’s better for a man to help someone out of egotistical
sympathy than not to help him at all. But we must learn to
develop a sympathy that stands above egoism, that helps
neighbors because it’s one’s duty to help
them.

As for astrology, we (the World) needs get past venus pluto conjunct on full moon
jan. 28 where many feel rejected and things aren’t working.
For some its a ‘must get serious and buckle down, clean up stuff, rid of unneeded baggage, and time to learn to love oneself better.
Jan 30 Mercury retrograde till Feb 20th adds to the confusing times of catching up to oneself and the world, getting facts straight, making sacred time for yourself and others. Fixed signs Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio getting hit hardest by this mercury retrograde but we all have those signs , if not planets, somewhere in our chart. Our fixed side at odds with our wish for creativity and freedom?
Need get past Feb. 1st when Sun squares Mars precipitating anger for no good reason that works, or over assertiveness towards goals or others. Such aspect can be courage to ‘live the virtuously high life’ incorporating best one can, ‘the good true beautiful you are or wish to be’!
Need get past Feb. 6th Venus conjunct Saturn and Venus square Uranus
where folks don’t feel loved and crazy for change, or ready to lay it down for the real thing.
Astrology has higher octaves one can attune to to avoid ‘bad aspects’.
Need get past, Feb 8th illuminating beneficent Sun conjunct Mercury, Feb 10 feisty retro Mercury square Mars when many fight without thinking, and others thinking too much stuck in their heard and tongue flap.
Feb. 11th new moon with Venus conjunct Jupiter brings weeks coming of new hope and good friendship. Happy times coming!?
Yet, Until we get to week into Feb. 24th things may be wrangling too much.
After feb 24th, thinks and all things slowly start to make more wholistic sense and one is capable of feeling more sure
of their own intelligence rather than others.
Lots of truths and love come now into spring summer.
I hope this is helpful towards your figuring it out for yourself
how you and the world can work together. i give lessons private
