Message from the Wolves: Time to Awaken

Tuesday, September 1st, 2020

We live in the mountains, the forest, and hidden places where it is pristine and forgotten by man–where trees dance, and the original songs of the world can be heard. Tonight, as the moon grows full, we share some of those songs with you.

Once, you were perfect. Your thoughts and emotions aligned with the Divine. All that you saw or felt in your mind appeared in a harmonious way in your physical reality. (That’s part of the purpose of the earth. It is place for manifesting ideas, dreams, and desires, so you can delight in the beauty and create even more.)

A wild beauty appears on earth on the nights of the full and new moons. The secret rhythms of the world are released for a few moments and are carried by the whales, dolphins, coyotes, and wolves through sonar, which includes sounds too high and low for you to hear. Nevertheless, they play throughout the planet and can be felt.

The earth loved the beauty of your creations, and the sea sang songs to you. Everything rejoiced in the beauty of what you created. Over time, you moved out of harmony, and now it is time to return and create again.

The beautiful dreams of life from the beginning are still within you. Begin by finding the desires put in your heart by the universe. Know they are powerful and special—and part of your way of finding the path to divine. By following your desires, you move through limitations and open your heart to greater expectations.

You will know when your dream is real because you will feel its light in your soul. A flowing sense of happiness will move through you—along with the possibility of its realization. A true dream comes from your soul, and you explore your soul through the process of manifestation. It is how you learn to align yourself with the laws of nature and the universe. Yes, it involves repetition because everything in Nature tends to repeat. (Think of the blooms of flowers, the seasons, and the appearance of the moon. It appears, changes, and reappears. This is one of the important cycles of earth.)

Many of you will say you have had a dream, and it didn’t come into fruition. Perhaps, you did not stay with your dream or find the meditative magic, which accompanies the work. Wolves often sit in circles and focus on their dreams for hours—even days or months. At this point on your timeline, it takes fierce concentration and desire to change the fabric of life into another form.

Most people do not long for a dream deeply enough to create it, so they live with a sense of dissatisfaction—a lack of fulfillment. For those who follow the process, they receive light, gifts, and the practice of overcoming limitations. (There are many limitations on your planet along with lower vibrations, which can require a great effort to overcome. But we ask, what are you doing with your life and your time? Do you not have time to entertain the dreams and beauty of your soul?)

Keep in mind that everything on your planet vibrates at a specific rate. When your mind, emotions, and body vibrate at a higher rate, matter itself aligns with your vibration. And all dreams and desires vibrate at a higher frequency than your experience of the current reality.

The attainment of higher vibrations is part of the shift on earth. Many of you will learn how to manifest—not simply have or want or accumulate—but create from your soul. As you grasp the power and techniques of this potential, the entire frequency of the planet will increase. (It is part of the change that many of you came here to create.)

Here are some aspects of manifestation that may help you.

When you are dissatisfied with an aspect of life, take the opportunity to see it differently. It may not work out as you planned, but something different will happen. Don’t hide emotions. Express them and create your life in a different way.
It’s okay when your manifestation works out differently from your plan. The twists and turns teach about the universe’s preferences. From this, you learn about the universe’s desires for you.
Ask often if you desire for the highest and best good of all. Will the vibration of your new knowledge and life help others as well as yourself? As you pursue your dream, what changes are needed within you? Are you learning to love life and yourself more?
Big dreams and changes require work. Are you willing to give time and energy to them? Are you willing to meditate on them with all of your heart?
Nature plays a large part in manifestation. When you meditate outdoors, nature corrects and replicates your vision. Every part of nature helps in creating it in the physical world.

Full Corn Moon Forecast

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Tuesday, September 1st, 2020

The full Corn Moon appears on Wednesday, September 2. As the first leaves change color and grapes fall to the earth, it marks the turn of the world into the season of harvest. The forecast features a Virgo Sun and Pisces Moon, combining the mysticism of Pisces and the practicality of Virgo. In some ways, it’s perfect as many of us are feeling the call of the cosmos–the dreaminess of the universe speaking through our intuition and hearts. At the same time, we may yearn for positive expression in the physical world.

The problem with mysticism involves our interpretation through the ego, which is rarely obvious, and applying our insights in daily life. It’s one thing to understand how energy works a particular way –and an entirely different pursuit to remember to apply it on a regular basis. The first area of difficultly lies with misinterpretation; our ego has a way of wanting life to appear in a certain way—along with a willingness to misread it. Our hearts read life in a way that is crystal clear; it’s believing and acting, which construe the challenge. The combination of Virgo Sun/Pisces moon may give the opportunity to become more discerning and move more deeply into the true self.

Sun (life) trines (harmonious) Jupiter (expansion) and Uranus (sudden change, quantum field). Sun trine Jupiter denotes a sense of optimism and expansion. Sun trine Uranus expands mental and spiritual abilities such as original ideas, breakthrough thoughts and realizations, and a desire to express individuality.

Moon (emotion) in Pisces connects our consciousness to the unseen world; t opens the veil between worlds, increasing intuition. Moon conjunct (close to) Neptune (mysticism, illusion) gives greater reception to the mystical through prayer, visualization, and contemplation. It’s how we hear God, the universe, and angels. It’s the feeling received after prayer when we feel the lift after asking for help on a spiritual level.

Mercury (communication) in Virgo trines (harmonious) Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation), and Pluto (underworld). The three trines create the possibility of positive communication, strong structure, and the ability to solve mysteries and find answers (Pluto). (Virgo is an earth sign ruled by Mercury, which aids in communication.)

Venus (love, relationships) is placed in Cancer, a water sign. Venus opposes Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation) and Pluto (underworld, transformation). It’s likely that we may feel other people are acting out of sync with our loving nature. Venus squares (tension) Mars (energy, assertion). However, Venus is conjunct (close to) Neptune (mysticism, illusion), offering a way to move into higher love and align with beauty to overcome the more dissonant energies.

Mars (energy, male) remains in Aries, a fire sign, which pushes us into action. (Mars will move into retrograde in mid-September, and it can make life feel frustrating. Use this time to work on calm emotions.) Mars squares Saturn (limitation, karma) and Pluto (collective energies, transformation), and we may feel that it takes a big push on our part to take the next step or pursue the right action.

Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) is direct. When Jupiter in Capricorn moves out of retrograde, it expands our drive to succeed and move in the direction of our goals. It’s also supportive on the path of light. (The caution involves realism in relationship to our goals, practicality, and wise, balanced use of money and growth.) Jupiter trines Uranus (quantum field, sudden change) gives insights when combining the new and old aspects of life.

The conjunctions, associated with COVID and changes in the outer world, involve Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto. They will continue throughout the year.

Notes:

The chart helps in experiencing the mystical side of the self in physical reality. We receive energy for orderliness and clear thought of Virgo as well as the spiritual insights of Pisces. Sun trines Jupiter (good fortune) and Uranus (sudden change, quantum change), which helps with optimism and receiving new thoughts and answers.
Sun (life) and Mercury (communications) oppose Neptune (mysticism/illusion). With this aspect, it’s important to check intuitions twice before taking action because our communication from the unseen world is not always clear.
The power of writing, speaking and communicating is heightened through Mercury’s trines with Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation), and Pluto (underworld, transformation).
We may feel out of sync with our loved ones as Venus opposes Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation), and Pluto (underworld, transformation) It’s wise to focus on universal, unconditional—and know the aspects are like a passing storm.
Squares with Mars (energy, male) may make life feel frustrating—or push us into action in the achievement of individual goals.

Sabian Symbols, based on the work of Lynda Hill

Sun is on Virgo 11, “A Boy Molded in His Mother’s Aspirations for Him”. Direction and shaping in childhood can act as a two edged-sword. Our character can be altered through discipline, experience, and perseverance, which can enhance and/or detract on the spiritual path. Sometimes, personal potential is enhanced by parents and authority figures. It can also bring confusion about who we truly are. Virgo rules mental discernment, and the oracle asks that we review our memories and find the truth of our childhood for ourselves.

Moon is placed on Pisces 11, “Men Traveling A Narrow Path, Seeking Illumination.” The symbol generates an image of the spiritual path, which is wide in the beginning of the journey but narrows near the top. In this chart, Moon (emotions) conjuncts Neptune (mysticism, illusion), indicating vision and direction for those who seek a higher path.

Mercury sits on Virgo 25, “A Flag at Half-Mast in Front of a Public Building”. The imagery refers to the expression of grief and loss for accomplishment and achievement for someone or a cause. Positive appraisal and loss are expressed as a public gesture.

Venus is on Cancer 26, “Guests Are Reading in the Library of a Luxurious Home”. Venus represents love, beauty, and resources. Perhaps, the symbol asks us to take time for self-care, quiet, and relaxation, which is an expression of self-love.

Mars sits on Aries 28, “A Large Disappointed Audience”. Mars is overall energy and assertion, and the large, disappointed audience may refer to the feelings of group consciousness, particularly in response to this particular time. (We may have planned a beautiful year, but everyone feels slightly frustrated with the current circumstances.)

Jupiter is on Capricorn 18, “A General Accepting Defeat Gracefully.” It’s an interesting symbol for Jupiter, which represents expansion and good fortune. However, acceptance of outcomes in life can open our consciousness to new possibilities as well as creating character.(Perhaps, it refers to the energy of this year, which is very different from our expectations.)

The Challenge of Oscillation

By Julia Griffin · Comments (5)

Monday, August 17th, 2020

One of the challenges of the current shift is oscillation, the periodic sensations of high and low. It occurs as the inner self develops, and we move through karma. (Karma can simply mean habits, repetitive patterns, or a negative response – as small as refusing to recognize or speak our personal truth.) Oscillation can cause strong emotions. Although we are steadily moving into a higher place, we continue to experience the old vibrations of the lower self.

We master oscillation over a period of time – not instantly. But we can observe, think about the inner self, and center for a few moments, which is the essence of mastery.

Here are a few tips:

1) When life moves easily, it’s good to expand the energy outwardly into the present and the near future. It’s also helpful to “see” good things for others and project a better, happier world. (Scientific experiments prove “seeing” good for others brings healing and positive energy into our lives.)

2) When the emotional/mental waves are low, it’s helpful to know they pass more quickly when we take time to tap into the spiritual self. We can replace lower thoughts with positive thoughts; we can substitute a positive emotion for a lower one. (We do this by meditating on peace, harmony, joy, or the feeling of a higher vibration.) We can send pink light (love) to the lower self, which feels the emotion.

3) When we observe a thought or emotion, it becomes quieter. The inner self generates positive emotions and thoughts. It delivers peaceful answers. By putting our consciousness in this place, life changes.

4) Many teachings speak of “low” and “high” points as storms and rainbows. We think storms are difficult, and rainbows signal a time of abundance. Both are illusions on the path on life. Beyond the illusion is the path of light. If we remain on the journey, we find (and become) the light.

5) When we change how we see life, “reality” changes. It takes on the shape and form of our thoughts. If we know we are passing through a wave, it’s unlikely that all of our thoughts are true and real. Simply knowing this is very helpful!

6) Within the universe, there are thousands of secrets. Study and meditation reveal some of the secrets. We also perceive some of the secrets of the inner self by mastering oscillation, the interplay between the lower and higher self. (In difficult moments, call on angels, teachers, and guides. Someone or something – a book, recorded meditation, or a call from a friend – will always help.)

New Moon Forecast

By Julia Griffin · Comments (2)

Monday, August 17th, 2020

The New Moon appears on Tuesday, August 18 at 10:41 pm ET. The New Moon typically brings less energy than a full moon. For those who are sensitive, they may experience a feeling of “flatness” while moving into the void of New Moon. (The lovely part comes with our ability to focus and project wishes/dreams while watching their fruition between now and the Full Moon.)

Earth and Fire dominate the chart. Put them together, and we have new earth—the force of heat, passion, and stability. (Volcanoes come from this combination of elements.) Perhaps, we’re creating our “new” self along with a new world. (The energies definitely lend themselves to this.) It’s a wonderfully fiery and passionate forecast with Sun (life), Moon (emotions), and Mercury (thought) conjunct in Leo, the sign that rules the heart, passion, and warmth. Conjunctions (close) between Sun, Moon, and Mercury amplify solar energy and light. Mars (energy, assertion) in Aries, a fire sign, adds to the heat.

Venus (love, beauty) in Cancer expands emotional awareness, need for security, and vulnerability. While it increases our need for emotional security, it also brings vulnerability—and hypersensitivity. (If we think someone is hurting our feelings, it’s good to remember that it may come from Venus in Cancer—not a factual event.) Venus opposes Jupiter (expansion). Think of two opposite forces and receiving a ray of energy from each simultaneously or at different times. Jupiter in Capricorn is about seeking status through loving relationships, and Venus in Cancer seeks security. The opposition can dim our desire to work, increasing the urge to spend or seek pleasure.

Mars

Mars rules passion, sex, assertion, and overall energy. Its nature is masculine, particularly when placed in Aries. Mars is quite powerful in this forecast; however, it’s important to focus only on development of current projects as it will move into retrograde September-November. Think of retrograde Mars as receding physical energy. Every day, we will have a little less energy for over 2 months. (Use this time to build vitality.)

There are beautiful trines and frustrating/energizing squares with Mars, planet of action and assertion. The trines heighten creativity and passion, but the squares indicate blocks and pressure. Sun (life), Moon (emotions), and Mercury (thought) trine Mars, which provides an abundance of creativity, heightened emotion, and assertion. Mars squares Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation), and Pluto (subconscious, transformation). The squares are quite useful as they exert pressure and urge action. However, it’s necessary to separate the ego’s desires from the inner self—if we want true progress. Quiet moments in meditation and time for self-reflection will keep our energy moving correctly through the tension of the squares.

Other Planets (and Retrogrades)

If it feels difficult to complete tasks or takes more energy than usual, it’s likely due to multiple retrogrades. Jupiter (good fortune), Saturn (limitation), Uranus (sudden change), Neptune (mysticism), and Pluto (underworld) are all retrograde. It takes more energy than usual to create change in the material world.

Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto remain in conjunction, accounting for the flow of current energies on a global level. With three influential planets in Capricorn, we experience many of the qualities of Saturn such as limitation, loneliness, and isolation. Jupiter (expansion, good luck) expands the limiting sensations, associated with aspects of the Saturn/Pluto conjunction. Pluto (subconscious, transformation) brings the problems and underlying darkness of social structures and rules/regulations to the surface.

Into the Mystical

Jupiter sextile Neptune brings harmony, flow, and a sense of peacefulness. It increases optimism and good luck. Jupiter trine (harmonious) Uranus helps with adjusting to change, applying creativity in new ways, and allowing positive opportunities to flow into our lives.

Neptune sextile Pluto encourages examination of existent structures in society. It boosts our ability to tap into inspiration and faith about the future. The aspect amplifies the ability to feel the trends of the future—and the ability to merge into the higher collective consciousness.

North Node

Sun (life), Moon (emotions), Mercury (communications), and Mars (energy) sextile North Node in Gemini. The North Node represents the direction of growth attained by moving through the unknown; it also represents inner gain for humanity at large. (North Node in Gemini is about examining concrete thought forms and intellectual processes.)

Sun (life) sextile North Node heightens vitality and enthusiasm for life. Moon (emotions) sextile North Node heightens imagination and accuracy with intuition and psychic abilities. Mercury (communication) sextile North Node expands mental ability and intellect. Mars (overall energy) sextile North Node encourages forward motion, initiation, and the ability to create circumstances that move life forward.

Tips

Many aspects of the chart, including placement of Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Mars, encourage creativity, forward motion, and dedication of energy in life. It’s very important to ask your self (inner self) what is truly important—and to dedicate yourself to this time of movement.
The upcoming retrograde with Mars asks for dedication only to ongoing project—not new ones. It doesn’t provide the energy for new projects. (It’s wise to work on health and immune system between now and Sept 14, when the retrograde begins. Mars retrograde “takes” energy.)
Venus in Cancer heightens emotional sensitivity, and Venus opposition Saturn can increase vulnerability—and misreading the words and actions of others.
Aspects with North Node encourage embracing the unknown. It allows us to sense the flow of the future and move more easily into it, particularly if the objective is humanitarian.
This New Moon is perfect for visualization and projecting a kinder, better future. Aspects with Neptune may help in connecting with the mystical world.

Sabian Symbols, based on the work of Lynda Hill

Sun and Moon are on Leo 27, “Daybreak—The Luminescence of Dawn in the Eastern Sky” symbolizes renewal, hope, and possibility. Dawn marks the transformational hour when both worlds (day and night) open on the spiritual level. Perhaps, we will find a deeper spiritual vibration for the coming months as well as a heightened rapport with the inner self.

Mercury sits on Leo 29, “A Mermaid Has Climbed the Rocky Shore of a Bleak Coast; She Awaits the Prince Who Will Bring Her Immorality.” It’s another beautiful symbol, referring the alchemy of the soul, depicting the union of yin (female) and yang (male). It’s about moving into love and the next level of life after surmounting difficulties (bleak coast).

Venus is placed on Cancer 11, “A Clown is Caricaturing Well-Known Personalities”. It’s a depiction of exaggeration and satire as well as people pretending to depict themselves falsely. (We know there’s currently plenty of this in the world.) The symbol asks for sincerity, real emotions, and true expression of thoughts to move into a state of love.

Mars is on Aries 25, “A Double Promise Reveals Its Inner and Outer Meanings.” The oracle asks for perception of the truth on a deeper level as opposed to the rewards on the outer level. (It could refer to the appearance of society and/or commerce—as well as looking more intently at other people.)

Jupiter sits on Capricorn 19, “A Child of About Five Carrying A Huge Shopping Bag Filled with Groceries”. The symbol refers to someone who has been burdened by responsibilities, which may feel heavy or overwhelming. It may refer to the efforts of light workers to carry karma and/or the weight of others during this time of change. Jupiter rules good fortune, and balance can help in this situation. Make time to rest, release what you can, and focus on self-care when possible.

Love or Fear in a Time of Change

By Julia Griffin · Comments (4)

Monday, August 17th, 2020

It can feel difficult to stay positive and remain in a state of love. Every few hours, there’s a new announcement, a phone call, or email to remind us of the constant change—the frenzy of many people reacting to fear and change.

People have forgotten that voicing a fear often creates it. Talk about lack of abundance if you want to create loss, think about being sick if you want to experience it, and focus on the current problems of darkness if you want to go deep into lower vibrations. Not only do you travel into the darkness, you project it outwardly to others and the outer world.

It’s important to read about current events, stay tuned into possibility, and take reasonable precautions however, there’s a much better way to live. And that’s in a space of love.

In the space of love, there’s an entirely different broadcast that brings presence, fulfillment, and understanding of current energies. In this place of peace, we can no longer feel the waves of agitation or fear. (It doesn’t mean we don’t go there periodically, but we recognize it and pull back.)

We also feel the gifts of the present where the stars shine, and the dusk comes in twilight blue. We find small answers for the moment, which lead to greater understanding—or at least answers, which are elusive unless they are encountered in the state of love.

Problems grow smaller, and the potential reveals itself. It comes from thinking of neither past nor future but by relying on the heart’s ability to navigate directly through the force of love. It’s not possible to feel darkness or fear when we move into the heart, which brings courage and positive change.

(Actually, light workers have been practicing with this state for the past five to ten years. The difference is that love is called upon with the will, and we make a consistent effort to stay there. It’s not just a “feel” good state; it’s a necessity.)

Tips

A positive attitude is needed. Notice the quiet, the clear sky, and the opportunity to work on the body and mind.
Stay calm when going out into the world. Imagine it as an exercise to keep reactions in check. Speak positively and kindly to workers. See yourself finding everything you need.
See the pandemic as an opportunity to improve the body, quiet the negative inner dialog, and create time for connection with the universe. (It also offers more time to meditate.)
Convince yourself that a shift is occurring, and the universe is on your side. It will lead you to the right place. (It’s true.)
Find the part of you that move into life optimistically and energetically. (Every student on the path confronts this challenge.)

Quick Exercises

Health – See yourself with vitality and strength. You’re always healthy, and you’re growing stronger. See weak parts of the body as healing and act on intuitions to bring about greater health. Action: Work on the immune system through diet, nutrition, and exercise.
Loving Relationships – See the strengths and goodness of the people in your life and see the truth, too. Have healthy boundaries and work on compassion. Visualize positive outcomes. Send pink light. Action: Speak kind words and speak softly when establishing boundaries.
Prosperity – Imagine bills as smaller, see gifts coming to you, and imagine money is always coming into your life. (If not, ask the universe to reveal your beliefs.) Action: Put away money and take time to meditate and “feel” more pouring into your life.
Spirituality – Come back to a space of love. Find your heart chakra and focus on the present. Wait for slow moments of clarity to return. Action: Do this as many times as possible every day.

Full Moon Forecast: Powerful Energy

By Julia Griffin · Comments (4)

Thursday, July 30th, 2020

The Full Moon appears on Monday, August 3 at 11:58 am. The Full Moon heightens energy and intensity; it increases growth, germination and fruition in the physical world. Sun in Leo indicates the importance passion, drama, and living from the heart. It’s a fire sign, encouraging work on desires, self-expression, and creativity.

The Full Moon sits on Aquarius 12, “People on a Vast Staircase Graduated Upwards”, which may represent ascension/awakening for those connected in humanitarian efforts and/or a higher light level. Aquarius is an air sign, symbolized by the Water Bearer, a star being who pours positive emotion (water) on the planet.

Sun (life, light) trines Mars (assertion, male energy), denoting self-confidence and strength with self-assertion. It enhances leadership and creative abilities. Sun and Moon (emotions) square Uranus (quantum field, sudden change) can heighten moodiness, cause sudden changes in feelings (and outbursts) and create a feeling of instability. On the positive, Uranus supports a positive attitude, independence, and the desire to move forward in a new way.

Mercury (communications) is placed in Cancer, a feminine water sign. In this placement, thoughts and emotions are easily confused and misread, but it can give greater understanding to personal thought processes and lead to compassion for others. Mercury trines (harmonious) Neptune (mysticism, illusion), which brings a lovely interplay between the rational and intuitive mind. Mercury opposes Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation), and Pluto (transformation) in Capricorn. The oppositions can cause conflict between our desire to communicate our thoughts and the limitation of a time of isolation and structural change. (Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are three planets, which influence the pandemic.)

Venus (relationships, income) in Gemini squares Neptune (mysticism, illusion), which can cause emotional reactions and hypersensitivity in relationships. On the positive, it aids in seeing the loveliness of life and artistic creations.

Mars (energy, assertiveness) is placed in Aries, which encourages moving forward in life and acting on plans for change. Mars squares (tension) Jupiter (expansion), which heightens the drive to succeed and make bold plans. Mars squares Saturn (karma, limitation), and the aspect brings frustrations, challenges, and tests. Patience and perseverance are required! Mars squares Pluto (transformation, underworld), indicating a feeling of pressure and intensity to achieve one’s goals.

Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) sits in Capricorn, an earth sign. Jupiter trines Uranus (sudden change, quantum field), and the harmonious aspect delivers good luck, opportunity, and a broader vision of life. It can also benefit new ideas and creativity. Jupiter sextiles Neptune (illusion, mysticism), which gives uplifting feelings and a sense of optimism and lightness.

Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation) and Pluto (underworld, transformation) remain in conjunction, which influences the corona virus, changes in the structure of the world, and perception of life on a global level.

Tips:

The chart expands humanitarian energy, desire for mystical growth, and creativity. Sue in Leo and Mars in Aries heighten creativity and drive. Mercury trine Neptune helps to link the rational and intuitive mind. Venus square Neptune increases sensitivity and artistic perception. Jupiter trine Uranus opens the mind to creative, new ideas.
Some of aspects cause feelings of frustration. Mars square Saturn brings tests and difficulties. Mars square Jupiter creates the desire to push through limitations, but a slower pace is needed to move through the blocks and tests.
Mercury (communications) opposes Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, making it difficult to succinctly express our thoughts.
Sun and Moon square Uranus (quantum field, sudden change) can denote a feeling of instability—the flux of change. However, Uranus lends support when our consciousness is focused on the positive.
As usual for 2020, it’s not an easy chart, but it offers a great deal to those who want awakening and growth.

Sabian Symbols, based on the work of Lynda Hill

Sun is on Leo 12, “An Evening Garden Party of Adults”, which depicts a break from everyday life and work, which encompasses socialization and the physical beauty of the world. The symbol could refer to our zoom meetings and teleseminars, used to learn more about the universe, the sharing of summer beauty on social media, or merging consciously with others who perceive the loveliness of the natural world. (True socialization happens among peers with similar interests and desire for growth.)

Moon sits on Aquarius 12, “People on a Vast Staircase Graduated Upwards”. It’s a perfect symbol for awakening humans who desire a higher level of understanding and universal love. The energy of the moon actually pulls us together on a harmonious vibration.

Mercury is placed on Cancer 28, “An Indian Girl Introduces Her College Boyfriend to her Assembled Tribe”. Mercury rules communication, and the symbol indicates the need for diversity, open-mindedness, and a wider view as we move into spiritual maturity. It addresses the importance of stretching one’s horizon of thought, emotion, and beliefs on the spiritual journey.

Venus is on Gemini 27, “A Young Gypsy Emerging from The Woods Gazes at Far Cities”. The oracle points to the desire for new experiences, leaving the past behind, and creating new perspectives about life. Expansion of self can result from independence and exploration.

Mars is on Aries 20, “A Young Girl Feeding Birds in Winter”. Gentleness, love for nature, and benevolence are portrayed in this symbol. The value of nurturing, helping others and alignment with nature are emphasized as needed qualities in our actions, which is ruled by Mars.

Jupiter sits on Capricorn 20, “A Hidden Choir Singing During a Religious Service”. The symbol hints at “hidden” or invisible forces, acting to raise our vibration and hearts. Although we can’t see the source, we can hear and feel uplifted by the sound and energy.

Passing Through the Lion’s Gate

By Julia Griffin · Comments (2)

Thursday, July 30th, 2020

Think of the Lion’s Gate as a cosmic blast of solar light. The Lion’s Gate symbolizes the annual height of solar energy, emanated by the astrological sign of Leo. It refers to a process of purifying the fabric of our consciousness and recreating ourselves with a higher light level. It’s a quick process because the Lion’s Gate is open between August 8 and August 12—although the energy will linger for a week or more.

The Lion’s Gate occurs during “Dog Days” or when the dog star, Sirius, precedes the sun on the horizon. The Great Pyramid of Cheops was built to align with the rise of Sirius to mark the importance of a time of rebirth—an opportunity to move more deeply into our divine blueprint and resurrect the True Self. As a result, the solar year began on July 28 with the motion of the Sun into Leo (solar) energy, and the celebration of light ended on September 15.

Solar light is associated with the masculine energies such as spirituality, universal love, courage, creativity and pure light. Light cleanses, and it brings spiritual change. The light is somewhat yang; it can feel over stimulating on a mental/creative level if we don’t take time to rest and reflect. For those who are open, it alters the DNA, raising our capacity to receive more light into the body and energy field.

The light brings endings such as harvest, but it also illuminates new beginnings. This means opening up to the universe and expanding what we think is the fabric of life. For example, everyone has problems, large or small. There are desires and objects of our longing; yet, they are part of the human experience—and are eclipsed by the universal light.

Becoming who we really are (and moving into greater love) always constitutes the universal movement. When we surrender to these concepts, the solutions to our problems often emerge effortlessly. In other words, we are the answers to our problems. The answer lies in shifting our consciousness to a wider vision. It lies in accepting who we truly are—and finding a new paradigm.

Light also acts a quickening and cleansing agent. It cleanses our thoughts, emotions, and shows us the darkness in our lives. Part of the darkness (for all of us) lies in resonating and identifying with the recurrence of the shadows. What if we didn’t believe in the necessity of negative experiences? What if we could alter our lives instantly? Who would we become if we stepped more deeply into the light? What if positive events happened more quickly? (There is a “feeling” beneath the questions. Expand it if you feel it.)

There are inherent challenges in raising our light level. Sometimes, we think about what we leave behind us or worry about who we will become. Other times, we focus on our journey or how it will work. It’s good to keep in mind that visualizing, asking questions, making wishes, or believing might lead us to fulfillment with far less effort.

On the human level, there are changes with every new level of light. For simplicity’s sake, I’m grouping them. You may feel the changes on more than one level, or you may not feel them at all. It doesn’t matter. When you expand your awareness, you move into more light. (Everyone feels particular aspects of change, including the planets, stars, or natural events, in a different way.)

Group I – Light workers and light givers. If you are already giving light and service to others, you may have felt quite tired for the past week. Stepping down light for yourself and other people can feel exhausting. You may need rest, more water, or gentle exercise. The DNA changes when you reach a higher level, and it takes time to process the new light. The light can bring our personal shadow (and the shadows of others) to light. It can point to needed changes, letting go of parts of the identity, or simply moving into more love. Regardless, your energy can feel scrambled, but meditation and rest will bring balance. (Sometimes, we are forced to let go of our focus temporarily. Rest in knowing that the universe makes everything work, and it will support you.)

Group II – Open heart and awakened. The influx of light can actually support your dreams and help in gaining greater creativity with current projects. Stay aware of love and the potential to move more deeply into it. It’s okay if your thoughts feel scrambled and confused from time to time, it will pass. Project happiness and expand your visualizations.

Group III – Mass consciousness. This group tends to refuse the influx of light; they actually move more deeply into the shadow during these times. They usually become angry or depressed and can pull at your energy more than normal. It’s helpful to ask for a higher light level and ask the universe to help in clearing and deleting the attachment from lower consciousness. (NOTE: you tend to experience mass consciousness–or lower consciousness– in the areas of our weaknesses and/or karma, it’s important to think about your abilities and good points after an encounter.)

A few tips:

1) Fire brings purification and cleansing. What do you want to leave behind in your life? It can be as simple as fear or as complex as a whole portion of your life. Trust it’s for the best and take a step ahead.

2) Fire expands things. It can create a huge flame. When contained and tended, it emanates warmth. Where is fire needed to burn the dross or nourish the inner being? Where is creativity or illumination needed.

3) Where do you lack answers? Let the fire blaze a trail. Follow the light. Or imagine a pink flame, which represents love, burning away the darkness in your life.

4) Write an angel letter, detail your desires, and burn the letter. Imagine the flames taking the desires up to the light. As the light descends, it brings your desires into material form.

5) Don’t burn out with too many projects, requiring creativity, will power, and thought. Balance by resting, meditating, or napping in a dark, quiet room. Lions love acting in a lazy way and playing throughout the day. (Don’t indulge.) It’s possible to burn out when we lack true focus. Look honestly: see if your life is balanced.)

6) Let the solar light lift you up. Act with courage and perseverance when moving into desires and dreams. Let the light expand your purpose, gifts, and aspirations in the coming year.

New Moon Forecast

By Julia Griffin · Comments (0)

Thursday, July 16th, 2020

The New Moon appears on July 20 at 7:29 pm ET. It is the beginning of a new cycle, which follows a season of eclipses. Eclipses tend to stir up karma as well as awakening gifts and creating internal change. It also marks the turning of the year into the last half of the season when life heightens and diminishes as we move in the direction of harvest.

It’s an interesting forecast with a repeat of many aspects from the previous forecast. Fortunately, there’s not an eclipse, and Mercury (communications) is direct. When a chart repeats with a few positive changes, it offers the opportunity to break a karmic cycle through conscious awareness. When a cycle reappears in life or the planet (with a few improvements), it’s a sign of personal/cosmic growth. We may revisit the cycle, but we have more tools and awareness. (Also, the New Moon is quieter on an energetic level, which denotes less input from mass consciousness. If we’re truly moving through karmic patterns, it’s a good thing!)

Four planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto) are in retrograde, which can give a heavy feeling. (We are working against the tide when we’re active.) Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation, karma), and Pluto (underworld, transformation) remain in the placement associated with the corona virus and altering structural change on a personal and global level.

Sun (life) and Moon (emotions) are in opposition to Jupiter (expansion) Saturn (karma), and Pluto (transformation, underworld). Both planets are placed in a water sign, denoting emotional involvement and heightened sensitivity. The sign of Cancer brings the energies of the Mother, the Sea, and the flow of emotion. We may strongly desire the pleasant of flow of emotion that comes from family, adventures on the water, and the exchange of positive feelings. However, the conjunction between Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto brings the need for isolation and reflection. We may move between the desire to continue with the safety of isolation and the desire to interact physically and emotionally with others. (I recommend using your intuition as a guideline–as everyone has exceptions to the rule.)

Sun (life) and Moon (emotions) trine Neptune (mysticism, illusion). A trine with Sun and Moon brings the likelihood of mystical insights, artistic expressions, and appreciation for the beauty of life. It can also enhance moments of relaxation and stillness with the soul. Neptune often speaks when our inner dialog is quiet, so take time for meditation and contemplation of the beauty of life. (It also heightens positive feelings and connection with the inner self.)

Mercury (communication) remains in Cancer, and it is wonderfully direct! Mercury squares (tension) Mars (male energy, assertion), which can create frustration and anger—and also delays. It may feel like Mercury is still in retrograde, but it’s frustrated emotion and lack of knowing how to make progress. (If you don’t feel it, you may experience it in the outer world. It can also take a few days after Mercury moves direct for electronics to behave!)

Venus is in Gemini, encouraging short trips, interaction with siblings, and social gatherings. Mercury rules the sign of Gemini, so we’ll continue to see meetings via the internet and phones. This placement can stimulate writing, communication from the heart, and self-expression. Venus sextiles Mars (action, male energy), which can make male/female interaction more harmonious. Venus squares (tension) Neptune (mysticism, illusion). Think of ultra-emotional sensitivity combined with the ability to see beauty and express feelings through art.

Mars in Aries loves move forward with independent action and heightened initiative, but it rarely stops to think through the impulse. (Mars will be in this position through November, so we have time to learn about this.) It’s a wonderful position if we learn the lesson of not reacting or acting too quickly and forcefully, particularly if the desire for resonates with the inner self. On the positive, it gives ease of movement with projects and plants, particularly if we’re willing to exchange frustration/anger for expression. Mars squares Jupiter bestows strength, enthusiasm, and vigor for life. It can also cause impulsive actions and a tendency to overdo with boundaries and issues. (If we tone down our energy around boundaries and causes, it’s a good aspect.) Mars conjuncts (close to) Chiron (wounded healer), which may give insights into the spaces where we tend not to take action—or do it poorly. It’s an opportunity for growth.

Jupiter (expansion), Saturn (limitation, karma), and Pluto (underworld, transformation) remain locked–and in conjunction throughout much of the year. The structure of life is changing, and we have to make our best effort to bring about positive change and act on higher intuition.

Uranus (sudden change, quantum field) in Taurus, an earth sign ruled by Venus. Since Uranus moved in Taurus, the frequency of earthquakes and volcanoes has increased. Judging from the light that I see emanating from the earth, many changes are underground—not yet appearing on the surface of life. (Manifestation is the same. We meditate, visualize, and feel an experience as real, but it takes weeks or months to surface.) For the time being, it’s a lovely mystery.

Neptune (mysticism, illusion) in Pisces rules the astral world of mass consciousness and lower/higher emotion. As we grow spiritually and expand our vision and ability, we feel it more deeply. However, we can channel the energy into self-expression and growth by opening to Neptune’s mystical side.

The chart represents both growth and the need to review energies that have been present for a month of more. Mercury retrograde slowed our ability to move through obstacles, and it also gave time for rest and review. Now, it’s time to move through blocks, find our voices, and express our feelings in a positive, assertive way. It takes time and work, but we are clearing karma—and moving forward on the path of light.
