Climbing spiritual summit during full moon in Capricorn - 2012.At this full moon time, when the Sun is in Capri­corn, the moun­tain top calls out to all true seek­ers of light. Capri­corn is called the “Gate into Spirit.” The moun­tain top calls you to lift your thoughts out of earthly mat­ters and make a deeper con­nec­tion with your spir­i­tual source.

The planet Mars is exalted in Capri­corn. For some­one focused only upon mate­r­ial goals, this exal­ta­tion rep­re­sents the height of mate­r­ial achieve­ment. It can rep­re­sent such a dense focus on obtain­ing money and pos­ses­sions that the indi­vid­ual com­pletely denies his or her spir­i­tual real­ity. [click to continue…]

Sagittarius Total Lunar Eclipse

in Esoteric Astrology

2012-sag-total-lunar-eclipseThis full moon in Sagit­tar­ius is a total lunar eclipse. As I have writ­ten about in the past, the eso­teric sym­bol­ism of the total lunar eclipse is that the form, or the phys­i­cal, emo­tional and lower mind, is eclipsed by the light of the Sun, the Soul, or True Self.

As the Sun is in Sagit­tar­ius, it is an ideal time to redi­rect your thoughts toward pos­i­tive spir­i­tual achieve­ment while cre­at­ing a clear-cut path toward service.

Sagit­tar­ius is a fire sign. Just as a torch lights the way in a dark cor­ri­dor, clar­ity of thought and direc­tion bring light to the mind.  [click to continue…]

Scorpio Full Moon and 11–11-11

in Esoteric Astrology

Scorpio full moon and 11-11-11For more than 275 years, the city of Carta­gena, Colom­bia was under Span­ish rule. On 11-11-1811, Carta­gena became the first province to declare inde­pen­dence from the Span­ish Crown. This event is now cel­e­brated all over Colom­bia because of the great influ­ence it exerted on the process of lib­er­a­tion of the whole country.

Carta­gena means La Hero­ica, the Heroic City.

On 11-11-1811, the planet Uranus was con­junct the Sun in Scor­pio. This direct align­ment empha­sized bat­tling for free­dom and a new direc­tion in life.

Now, 200 years later, 11–11-11 falls dur­ing the period of the full moon of Scor­pio which can bring some added sig­nif­i­cance. [click to continue…]

Life is like rid­ing a bicy­cle. To keep your bal­ance you must keep moving.

~ Albert Einstein

Often peo­ple think of bal­ance as a sta­tic state in which you remain calm and unmoved. But bal­ance is action and the abil­ity to remain poised as you act dynam­i­cally. The ele­ment that keeps you poised is in know­ing clearly what you stand for and what your pur­pose is.

When you know what your pur­pose is, you are not eas­ily thrown off bal­ance. You are mov­ing toward your goal, so you are focused and in rhythm. Bal­ance is hav­ing your mind, emo­tions and body work­ing together in har­mony with your purpose.

Still, the pow­er­ful forces of Life can throw even the best of us off course. But if you are bal­anced, you recover your strength, learn from the cri­sis, and con­tinue on your way as a wiser and more com­plete per­son. Part of bal­ance is learn­ing how to recover from the shocks of life. In the recov­ery, you move upward along the spi­ral of life. [click to continue…]
