Easy Astrology for Fun!

It’s no joke, astrology is pretty complicated. I was trying to break it down for my friend Gudrun from Iceland and I think I came up with a pretty good analogy to share – but you can let me know!

If you think of yourself as a spaceship flying through the Cosmos - your spaceship make & model is your Sun.

The windshield by which you see what is coming towards you is your Rising Sign (or Ascendant).

The crew on board making things happen is your Moon.

The interior aesthetic design of the ship is your Venus.

The fuel-power is your Mars.

The data-system on board is your Mercury.

The "warp speed" function is your Jupiter.

The “abort mission” function is your Saturn.

The smooth or treacherous terrain of your ship’s journey through space & time is determined by Uranus, Neptune & Pluto.

You’ve all got it now, right? Now you just need to know how the planets are working for the particular & unique you!

~Enjoyment~

At the end of the day, it is all about enjoyment, isn’t it?

This was the thesis of one of my favorite books in Theology School – that our true human purpose to activate our fullest enjoyment of each moment.

That is definitely the theology I am down with!

Tomorrow is our New Moon is Taurus – the sign that knows enjoyment the best!

So sometime tomorrow, give yourself the gift of enjoyment. Take a moment to muse, what do I really, really enjoy about life the most?

Ask for more it!

May all your wishes come true.

Enjoying you,

Love Springs True

Today is a radiant Full Moon in Libra – the sign of beauty and partnership/love and justice. This Full Moon passage brings to us the opportunity to reflect on where we are standing in our most meaningful relationships.

How is love showing up in your life? Is there lack or unfairness?

Where are you centering your values? In yourself, your true being?

Are you fulfilled by your life path? Who is carrying that responsibility?

What are you giving away in Love’s name? Should you be?

And, most importantly, where is love’s source? Really.

Now is the time for being really honest with yourself about love, values, relationships, fulfillment. In one more week, the Venus Retrograde will be through. Love and enjoyment will rise more apparently to the surface of your life. If you are honest with Love today, you will reap her reward tomorrow.

Love,

Do You Know Your Rising Sign?

Last week, at a yard sale in my neighborhood, I found a brilliantly insightful astrology book for only $1!

It is all about the importance of the rising sign (also called the Ascendant) in an astrology chart.

It has changed my thinking a lot.

According to this astrologer, if we all stay centered inside ourselves, viewing the world at large discriminantly through our particular viewing lens (our rising sign), much of life’s chaos would pass us by.

What if Aries rising would seize their self-confidence, so as not to push others out of their way?

What if Taurus rising would feel secure inside themselves, so as not to hoard friends and belongings?

What if Gemini rising would filter out other people’s details, so as not to excessively compare themselves?

What if Cancer rising was at home in themselves, so as not to take on other people’s negative emotions?

What if Leo rising would embrace the magic of inner glory, so as not to lose themselves in life’s glitter & drama?

What if Virgo rising would dismiss the endless details that do not matter, so their pure spirit shines forth?

What if Libra rising enjoyed inner balance of love and harmony, manifesting their own beauty in the world?

What if Scorpio rising would realize the darkness in existence is not personal, so their powerful soul can become a beacon of transformation?

What if Sagittarius rising would realize that true enjoyment is within, so they will unfold into luminous success?

What if Capricorn rising would see their own self-worth, so their climb to success is not self-punishing?

What if Aquarius rising would realize soulful truth from within, so as not to be a rebel without real purpose?

What if Pisces rising knew with confidence that all phenomena is illusory, so the strange myriad of appearances do not all have to be about them?

Our individual lives have so much to offer us once we see through illusion and touch our own soul.

Part 4, Tenet 2: Stepping in the Unknown

Picking up from where I left off: if the unknown ultimately holds more realizable potential than the known, how do I -the individual- effectively navigate my existence without falling into countless imprisoning pitfalls?

The answer lies in maintaining a careful balance between self-awareness and other-awareness. I, the self, am infinite. There are a million processes occurring every milli-second that manifest as me, the self.

If I choose, I can devote my entire life towards exploring the sensate nature of my existence without ever reaching even closely to the edge of Who I Am. Monks and Yogis are people who have decided to embark upon this quest to the best of their ability, just to see what they find.

Spiritual Masters and Enlightened Gurus are people who have surrendered this search in favor of a fully open acceptance of their own unknowable infinity in which their mind floats gracefully like a petal upon the deepest ocean.

However, most of us live in a pre-created social reality over which we have limited control. Every morning we wake, we are bombarded by obligations and laws that restrict our freedom of choice. Even if we reject society in favor of a rebel-fueled drop-out existence, every day we still encounter and must navigate this massive other we have rejected.

So social reality becomes a trap; we can do little to change it and nothing to escape.

However, what is often not known is that our human beingness comes equipped with a highly astute "electrical guidance system" - the aforementioned "intuitions and emotions," by which a more precise navigation of the social reality can be accomplished towards the achievement of our goals.

From a stabilized position of centered indwelling by which I intuitively perceive the realities of both my infinite vastness and my limited selfness, I can take in intuitive feedback and attune my attention towards optimal opportunities.

There are loop holes in the Universe. In sci-fi movies, these are presented as "worm holes". In real life, these are the uncanny happenings that allow us to slip through the see-able system to achieve beyond what is openly available.

These loop holes are far more of a reality than will ever be presented or taught, for if every person had the knowledge that they really, really, really could have exactly what they want, no system currently would stand. The "Corporatocracy" would fall trembling to its knees!

However, there are a few catches. Your "guidance system" must be turned on, and most peoples' is not.

So Tenet 2 of revolutionary self-empowerment is "Activate your guidance system!"

Here is where the techniques outlined by our Gurus and Spiritual Masters is sometimes useful:

* Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong really do release body toxins, tone subtle muscles, and enhance awareness of sensations.

* Meditation and precise contemplation really do activate perception.

* Gratitude practice will quiet down negative distractions that side-swipe intentions.

* Simple, clutter-free living will refine incoming environmental vibrations.

* Living within unhampered nature brings health and clarity.

* Living in accordance with nature's cycles attunes individual existence to existing energetic forces, so that appearing phenomena is more easily sorted through the psyche.

This is not "religion". These are time-tested ways by which human beings have found empowerment in the face of oppression.
