The main theme for October 2011 is Turning Point.
The image is that of facing a well-known view, in fact a view you have become so accustomed to you hardly notice it anymore. And now you have just realized that you are turning away from this view 90 degrees to the right and leaving it completely behind in order to face a new view. Suddenly it dawns on you that the old view will be gone forever, never to be seen again in the same way. There is nostalgia around the permanence of the loss of this old view. It is familiar to you and it has served to inspire, entertain, give you feedback and be a placeholder in your life. You realize that once you turn towards the new view the old one is gone forever. And despite the inadequacies of the old view in matching a new time, there is a resistance to giving it up and turning towards the unknown. What if the new view isn't as good as the old one? What if you won't be able to see the new view? What if it is not a clear view, or an inspiring one? What if there is no new view?
The Turning Point can also be called the Point of No Return. When one season ends and another begins, as in moving from Summer to Fall, there is no going back. You have passed the point of no return. And as you move clockwise around the medicine wheel from one direction to the next, you are at a point of no return as you arrive at the new position or direction. The natural progression in moving forward is always clockwise or to your right. That is the way the clock works, the seasons roll, and wheels move forward. So we are at the point of turning clockwise into a new landscape providing us with a new view.
We have been creating this new view for a while now. We just have not turned our sights on it as yet. The new view has been waiting for our much-needed focus on it to come into being and we are just now at that point but some of us still unwilling to make the final turn. What we do not realize in our resistance is that the new view is fabulous, inspiring, supportive and perfect for where we need to go. However in order to see the new view we must turn away from the old one and turn towards the new one. This is happening whether you are choosing to or not. We are truly at the Turning Point right now.
Another image to work with is the idea of the Turning Point as the point at which there is enough energy moving in a certain direction to insure a result. If you have been ill and are recovering, there is turning point in your illness where you are insured a recovery. The same thing applies to an ending or a death. There is a certain turning point at which there is a certainty about the outcome. When a lot of energy is being put into building a business or starting a project, or cultivating a relationship, there is always a turning point at which it either takes off or you see that it won't work. This month you have the opportunity to experience turning points in many aspects of your life. Perhaps you have set certain intentions, and worked with them over time. This month you may get to experience a turning point in manifesting those intentions.
Other themes of the month are Transition/Transformation and Death/Rebirth.
Transition/Transformation and Death/Rebirth are similar in that they both use the turning point to move from one point to another. The main characteristic of this change as a turning point is that there is finality to the ending of one experience that automatically turns you towards another one. What is the experience of the Turning Point trying to teach us this month?
What we need to learn is to be more present so we can fully embrace what is in front of us and then let it go with gratitude for the experience it provided. We need to learn to be less attached so that we can turn away from the old view and toward the new one with less resistance. We also need to learn to be more trusting and confident that the view we are creating that we are turning toward is exactly what we want and need. We need to face this view with confidence, enthusiasm and excitement instead of with fear.
Many of you know that there is a marker at the end of this month that marks the official end of the Mayan Calendar, namely the date of October 28, 2011. There are many predictions about what may happen at this time. Some predict 3 days of darkness, some predict major earth changes, some predict that nothing significant will happen, and other predict that the changes will be mostly personal, emotional and psychological
October 28, 2011 is simply a marker as it is impossible to predict what the Turning Point will manifest. What we can predict is change and transition that brings us all beyond the point of no return.
How the month shows up:
YOU PERSONALLY
Use the month to get present. Use the month to fully take in your experiences with gratitude and use the month to fully release what you are turning away from. You may go through feelings of nostalgia, sadness and even some grief, much of it general and not really connected to anything. Nostalgia is in the air as we are turning towards a new view. See and experience everything with presence. Practice saying goodbye to what you know, and hello to the unknown view ahead. This is an incredible time where you can experience the turning point towards the positive in many areas you have put energy into. It is a good month for manifesting especially something you have been putting your focus into for a long time. You may also feel compelled to finally let go of what is holding you back from that new view. Make friends with death and the finality of its lessons.
A good exercise to do daily would be to face a literal view that you are familiar with and then to turn 90 degrees to your right, trying on the experience that you will never see the old view again. Take in the beauty and wonder of the new view and see its possibilities as positive and supportive. Do this as many times during the day wherever you are to practice the experience of the turning point.
RELATIONSHIPS

There are aspects of relationship this month that point to moving towards more balance of the masculine and the feminine. There is an underlying practicality to the times that will govern relationships as well as other things. Since we are in a time of increased relationship awareness, be aware of all your relationships, not only to other humans and animals, but also to nature, your thoughts, work, body, health, habits, dreams and intentions. Since this is a practical time, do what is practical. If it is to heal a relationship, heal it. If it is to eliminate one, eliminate it. If it is to transform one, do that. There is a soft ruthlessness that comes with compassion but also a sense of not being willing to put up with what does not serve. Watch when things want to become dramatic. This is not necessarily a dramatic month but one of persevering towards what you know is right. The opportunity is for stronger more balanced relationships to emerge as they move through their turning points. Be careful not to blame.
THE ENVIRONMENT

The environment is in a time of pulling into itself its energy and resources. You could say it is an internal time for the environment with not a whole lot showing up on the outside. However just as a large wave pulls energy into itself before crashing onto shore, the environment is in the process of pulling energy into itself biding time until the next show. There is no predicting how it may show up.
Mother nature is certainly not finished with its support of our process of transformation, evolution and change. Our lesson is to trust the process and see it as supportive instead of inconvenient. The best preparation is flexibility and the willingness to face the wave head on. Use the exercise of turning towards a new view with the environment in mind. It will help you to feel as a co creator instead of a victim.
HEALTH AND THE PHYSICAL BODY

Your health will use the turning point theme to either get better or to get worse. Which way it goes is entirely up to you and depends a lot on where you have been putting your energy in this area. It is not too late to make choices to improve our health and your relationship with the physical body however those choices cannot be ambivalent. The universe needs to see that you are serious. You must show a strong intention by being willing to turn away from the habits and thoughts that keep you from your optimal health.
This is a month when you could actually experience miracles and situations turning around almost overnight. Your beliefs will have much to do with this.
This is also a month where you may feel fatigued and need more rest. The pace of the last few months has left many of you feeling like you need a break. It is a good time to take care and nurture yourself.
Support the immune system and the adrenals.
FINANCE, PROJECTS, PARTNERSHIPS, BUSINESS

An excellent month to fine-tune what you want, where you are going, who with and how. The turning point here has much to do with letting go of any old judgments about what you have or have not accomplished and what you have or do not have to show in your life at the moment in terms of traditional success. Turn away from the old view of how you believe things ought to be done and be willing to open up to a new way of doing things. This may require a restructure of some sort but the outcome may be phenomenally successful. Some projects you have been steadily feeding with your intentions and hard work will reach a turning point and suddenly you will see your hard earned results.
POLITICS AND GLOBAL ISSUES

Some global issues will reach a turning point that you will be able to define as positive and some will pass a point of no return that signals their demise. This is true for individuals as well as policies and global issues that affect countries, states and regions. As we delve deeper into the awareness of how everything is related, it will become more and more obvious through the domino effects of decisions impacting all the countries of the world economically and in other ways. We are building towards more awareness even thought it will still take some time. Be ready for more startling events and scandals to be uncovered. Don't get caught up in the judgment and polarity these truths could bring. Accept wit compassion and forgiveness and keep turning towards a new view.
DATES AND TIME FRAMES

October 1-7:
There is a quality of stillness to this time frame almost as a wave gathering its energy. It is a good time to reflect, to be aware, to practice staying present and to be fully in whatever experience you are having. This is more about being than it is about doing. Practice gratitude for everything and be aware of the impermanence of what you experience. Spend time in contemplation and be aware of your own process rather that be distracted by what others want or are doing. You can easily be derailed by chaos at this time. Setting up just right for the turning point requires being focused without distraction. Eliminate chaos whenever possible at this time.

October 8-15:
Feel full, feel nostalgic, feel emotional, feel expanded, feel blessed, feel supported, feel inspired, feel excited. This can be a stable but higher centered time that is marked by the full moon on the 11th. Breathe deeply and turn any sadness, grief, disappointment, anxiety, worry or despair into the peace of letting go. Make friends with death as an ally to help you let go of the old view. Get excited about the possibilities the new view will bring. What if the new view is so wonderful you could never have imagined it?

October 11:
Full Moon is at 8:06PM Mountain Daylight Time. A beautiful and practical time full of feeling, of love, of possibilities, of wonder, of friendship, support and delight. Use the turning point exercise to imprint yourself with the positive aspects of embracing the new view.

October 16-23:
You will definitely experience the turning point during this time frame. It can either be a painful experience of letting go or a euphoric one of movement to a new paradigm. The veil of the physical realm is thin and you could have a lot of astral bleed through where you feel that you are dreaming in snippets while awake. This is a great time for meditation and spending time in conscious daydreams. Make sure to be proactive with your intentions during this time. This is also where you can begin to see your hard work paying off. Never cease to prune, get rid of, or eliminate those elements that need it. Just like toenails that are too long, they will trip you and limit your mobility after awhile.

October 24-31:
This is a busy time energetically as the wave that was invisibly collecting power is now ready to explode onto the shore once more. If you are the wave, it is time to show up in your glory and creativity, proactively choosing a new view as you cross the point of no return. Many will need compassion during this time as they will feel lost, and possibly feel loss as well. Hold them in compassion without taking on their confusion. Trust in spirit and in the greater plan. The small mind has no idea what the new view looks like. The larger mind of spirit does. Your rudder in this turbulent ocean is your own anchor into your own intention, power and integrity. Be certain of your own turning point, face the new view and laugh out loud
October 26: New Moon is at 1:57PM Mountain Daylight Time. Do something to anchor something new. Honor the greater Turning Point of the collective. Celebrate the ending of something old and the beginning of something new!

Full Moon and Equinox this week-end

A full moon is coming with the usual possibilities especially since it is right near the Equinox. I received the following email and thought I'd post it here as we can all use a little extra energy right now, I think. For whatever reason I have been feeling a lot of pressure. I hope this will be a positive time. The world sure needs it.

**********************************************

Dear Friends,

The Full Moon is Saturday, March 19 at 12:10 PM (noon) Mountain Daylight Time. This is a super moon with strong energies and very close to the earth. If you can possibly be around a power spot during this moon it would be a benefit. However, you can take advantage of the amazing energies wherever you are. Being so close to the spring equinox, this full moon signifies change and opportunity.

Pay attention to any opportunity that has landed your way. If it has come easily perhaps you are prepared to act on it especially if it feels right. This is the time for a bid for power. Know that the planet is different. Our footing has shifted and quite literally. Symbolized by the reactor issue, we are being challenged to manage our own power, overcome our fears and step into a new paradigm. There will always be loss connected with change. Always look to the opportunity rather than what is no longer available. Trust the larger picture and greater design of evolution and know that spirit does not make mistakes.

The Spring Equinox is Sunday, March 20 at 5:21 PM Mountain Daylight Time. Do something to honor the fire element this month. Burn something old that represents not only what you wish to give over from the past few months or weeks, but something from your childhood or from your youth that represents very powerfully an identity of yours that is past.

This would also be a great time to identify something you are still attached to and either symbolically or actually burn it. Fire is purifying and signifies complete change and transformation. Fire is also the masculine counterpart to the feminine power of water. Both of these elements are strong this year and should be honored as representing the masculine and the feminine within ourselves. Use them, honor them, and thank them.

Blessings,

Lena

ASTROLOGICAL NOTES:
Written by Patricia A. Liles. PATLILES@aol.com
Virgo Full Moon opposite Pisces Sun 28º Saturday, March 19 12:10 PM MDT
Vernal Equinox, Sunday, March 20, 5:21 PM MDT Sun enters Aries, 1º, First day of Spring

Look to this Full Moon and Spring Equinox as an opportunity to experience a portal of intense power, strength and beauty. Much learning, shift and rebirthing can take place in this time frame. The Full Moon preceding the Equinox by less than a day is preparatory and supports intensified emotional involvement and awareness.

Because the Moon is full at 28º late in the sign, we will begin to feel the build up of energy when the Moon shifts into Virgo Thursday afternoon at 2:53 PM MDT. You will feel the intensity viscerally and your awareness of a much larger perspective will come with greater clarity. Added weight is given to this second of six SuperMoons of the year. Added weight in that this SuperMoon is the closest the Moon will be to the Earth (perigee) of all six. °Not until November 2016 will the Moon be this close to Earth. The additional magnetic pull on the Earth affects the globe's waters with extreme tides along the coasts. We too are made primarily of water and experience the concentration and pulling on our psyches.

Towards what are we being pulled? The Full Moon chart points this out clearly. The Sun at 28º Pisces is opposing this exceptional Moon at 28º Virgo, and this Sun/Moon axis squares the North and South Node axis forming a mutable Grand Cross. The North Node represents our point of spiritual growth and learning, where we are drawn to evolve.

In this chart the North Node is exactly aligned with the Galactic Center at 27º Sagittarius. The portal points us in the direction of opening emotionally, through our hearts, to an energetic alignment with that pulsing, conscious center of our galaxy availing ourselves to the energies that are evolving our planet at break-neck speed.

If we are aware of this opportunity and make a sacred space and allow time to clearly receive its download, we can be gifted with a general re-set of our entire energetic systems - something we need frequently at this time! (Read more! link here).

New Moon email

POWER PATH-- NEW MOON UPDATE
New Moon is Tuesday, February 2 at 7:32 PM Mountain Time.

Commit to your own eccentricity. Commit to your own personal healing of whatever needs to be healed. You do not need to know how or even what. A total commitment is enough to get the quantum field mobilizing in that direction. There is a wonderful opportunity at this new moon to heal disappointments of the past. Make a list of all of your disappointed expectations and commit to their release and to your healing. Commit to staying out of fear. Commit to moving forward. Commit to what's important. Commit to yourself.

Note: This is also Chinese New Year Day, the Year of the Metal Rabbit. Rabbits are fertile, resourceful survivors. The metal aspect makes them aggressively so.

Blessings,

Lena

Aquarius New Moon, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2011
7:31 PM MST, Sun and Moon at 13º Aquarius

Aquarius evolves out of the practical power of the previous Earth sign, Capricorn. This inspirational, fixed air sign moves us out of the perfection, organization and authority of the physical realms of earth manifestation and into the element of air and relationship. The culmination of the gifts of the other air signs ~ mental intelligence and expression (Gemini) and harmony of personal relationships (Libra) is manifested by Aquarius at the universal level as cooperation within the group bound by a common ideal and dedicated to the good of all.

Predictions for 2011 from Stephanie St. Claire

The following email came from Stephanie St. Claire, Tucson psychic and astrologer. I have met Stephanie, had readings from her and think she gives good insights, which she always prefaces by saying,
"I need to remind everyone that the POWER IS ALWAYS WITHIN US TO CREATE OUR LIVES. Information channeled or that I send out is to be used as a general guide. I disagree, often, with some of the information that is in a channeled piece I send out even though I might agree with the majority of it and is the reason I send it out in the first place. Ultimately, the test is for ALL OF US to learn about what is true or not. If it FEELS RIGHT WITHIN then it is truthful for you at that moment. The "truth" for us all changes as we become more and more aware. In these times we're in, now, the only way to know what is the truth for you is to go within. Ultimately, that will be our ONLY true source."

So from Stephanie St. Claire:

INFINITE BLESSINGS TO EVERYONE IN THIS NEW YEAR - 2011

The count down to December 21, 2012 is getting closer and closer. We're less than two years away from the date the Mayan Calendar ends. Over the years, many people have asked me what I think about that date. They've asked if I thought anything magical or unusual was going to take place, most especially if the world was going to end. My answer is always the same.....nothing is going to happen on that date. To me, it is similar to the frenzy that took place ten years ago with the Y2K phenomena at the century change from 1999 to 2000. If you remember, nothing out of the ordinary happened. I feel the same way about 12/21/12.

Nevertheless, that said, let's talk about what IS taking place on this planet. Since 1988, the frequency and energy of this reality has been changing quite a bit. From the mid 1990s, time started to noticeably change. Things seemed to move faster and faster. People started to notice it around that time. As the mid 2000s approached, everyone seemed to really be aware that something was going on but they didn't know what it was or how to describe it. Then, the last couple of years most people have been feeling overwhelmed, feeling more stressed out than ever before, and feeling there wasn't enough time to do anything, that the days just flew by!

So let's talk about what IS taking place. Our planet is going through a HUGE vibrational/spiritual shift. It's never happened before. All of us who are here signed up for a "tour of duty" on planet earth during this time. In translation, Earth is "the" happening place in the Universe!

Most of us were NOT born into the vibrational energies existing at this time. Therefore, on all levels of our being, that is, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual, we are being bombarded by these intense energies. We are in the last phase of the increase. Each year of the last couple of years, the frequency has quadrupled over and over again, in what Spirit calls the "nanosecond", the quickening of earth's energies. What that means is this year the energy is increasing. This will last approximately through 2012 and then it will level off.

The by-product of this increase in energies is quite noticeable. First, time as we know it, is dissolving...it hardly exists anymore. A normal day goes by in the blink of an eye. Secondly, people are so overwhelmed, they are falling apart, literally. Thirdly, many people are going functionally insane because they cannot handle the energy. And, lastly, many people and animals are leaving their bodies and moving off the earth plane. And these are just a few manifestations of the changes taking place.

Spirit has given me and others remedies to these energies which I will now share with you. You can use this information to assist you in the process we are all now experiencing or you can just choose to ignore these recommendations. First, everyone needs to SLOW WAY DOWN. What that means is to stop trying to do and be everything to everyone. Each person needs to rest. And not just rest for an hour but take one day a week and do nothing. Sit outside in nature (which rejuvenates you) in quietude. Rest in bed, sleep, read, again being silent. Most importantly, STOP RUNNING AND RUNNING AND DOING AND DOING. If you keep on with those patterns, it will do you in and your body will just stop working.

Have a lot of quiet time........no music or noise. Be alone with yourself to connect with your inner being, what Spirit calls the INNER NET. Take Yoga, Tai Chi, the martial arts, Qigong (pronounced Chi Gong), engage in spiritual practices or do anything mindful so as to ground yourself into your body. Spirit has said that it is vitally important to be grounded in one's body, not to space out! It is by being grounded into one's body that each of us will navigate these tumultuous times. Gardening and digging in the soil is vitally important. If we're not grounded solidly, there will be problems ahead. They say that being in nature is simply one of the most important activities we could ever engage in, so hiking in the woods, sitting by a stream, walking along the ocean are grounding, solidifying and vitally healthy for our mind, body and spirit. And do NOT take your ipod. That defeats the entire purpose. BE STILL, BE QUIET, BE SILENT!

Spirit has said over and over again that technology is destroying our physical, mental and emotional bodies. Most people do not want to hear this, but I believe it to be true. And the technologies will become more and more invasive as the years fly by. I could go on and on about this but I will not. It is up to each and every one of you to take responsibility for your choices and actions. All I will say is that the less technology you have or use, the healthier will be your body on all levels. The technology that will be introduced the next few years will blow you away. There are many devices available to protect yourself. I carry/sell many of them. The rejuvenizers are listed on my website. Many people have found that these devices help them to feel much, much better. They neutralize the effect of cell towers, wifi, and other invasive technologies. If the internet is ever shut down, which could happen with solar flares and in other ways I don't wish to discuss at this time, many people will go crazy because of their addiction to technology.

Madness already exists as witnessed if one drives a vehicle. I've had four incidents over the last month whereby people behind me were about an inch from my bumper and repeatedly honked their horns until I turned off the road. And I was going the speed limit each time. My friend, John, witnessed and gave his testimony on the three separate automobile accidents recently due to cell phone usage while driving. And those are just two examples. And let's not forget the Tucson shooting incident as well.

ASTROLOGY FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR

First I wish to talk about Arizona. Last year there was a solar eclipse on July 11, 2010. It was in October that the Astrology Guild speaker was Steve Weiss who lives in Scottsdale and has previously lectured in Tucson several years ago. In Saturday's workshop, Steve presented an outstanding and mind boggling piece of information. Steve was teaching us about the meaning of astrocartography, local space and geodetic lines. Eclipses are never good. One has to be wary of wherever they hit. Well, using the geodetic lines, he showed how the solar eclipse went right through Phoenix and Arizona!!!! At the time, Steve said that this will last quite a while and does not bode well for the State! He discussed the situation with the Governor and the border stuff that was going on. He said the effect of this eclipse could last through 2011 and possibly longer. And look what just took place with Gabrielle Giffords and the shooting on Saturday, January 8th. Now, let's look at the year in astrological terms. First Mercury retrogrades ..... Mercury goes retrograde three times a year for three weeks at a time. It is best NOT to sign important documents should there be a need to do so during this time. Communications and travel plans often break down. The dates for the Mercury retrogrades are:

March 30 at 2:48 PM MST to April 23 at 3:04 AM PDT (also AZ time)
August 2 at 8:50 PM PDT (AZ time) to August 26 at 3:03 PM PDT (AZ time) November 23/24 at 12:21 AM MST to December 13 at 6:43 PM MST

Next, I wish to discuss the incredible planetary lineup for this year. And it's a doozie! On Saturday, January 22nd, the planet Jupiter (good fortune, abundance, expansion) moves into Aries where it will only be until June 4th. Jupiter is usually in a sign for a year but its rotation through Aries is quicker. Jupiter was in Aries very briefly for a couple of months last summer. Sometimes the rotation of the planets is quicker than normal. Jupiter enters the sign of Taurus on June 5th where it will remain until June 11, 2012.

So, if you have any planets in Aries, while in that sign, it's a good time to expand and shift gears. The energy is with you so to speak. Of course, it depends entirely upon each person's astrological chart. Jupiter in Aries makes beneficial aspects to Leo and Sagittarius as well as the air signs, Libra, Gemini and Aquarius. When Jupiter transitions into Taurus, anyone with planets in Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn will feel a sigh of relief. Jupiter in Taurus bodes well for the water signs, Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer, as well.

The really BIG news is the change of the planet Uranus which stays in a sign for seven years. It is permanently moving from the sleepy, watery sign of Pisces where things are hidden and stay under the surface, to Aries which is an "in your face" energy. What's really major about this change is the energy of the planet Uranus. It is the ruler of Aquarius whose symbol looks like waves of electricity and is eccentric in nature. Aquarians beat to a different drummer which is very much in alignment with the energy of Uranus. Wherever Uranus is in the sky or in one's personal chart, WATCH OUT! When Uranus is in a fire sign, that's a double whammy! Uranus actually goes into the sign of Aries, at 00 degrees 00 minutes at 5:52 PM MST on Friday, March 11, 2011. Daylight savings time changes on Sunday, March 13th.

Uranus has to do thunderbolts of sudden, unexpected change. With Uranus in Aries, a sign of action, it acts like the "WOW" factor! What is most unusual about all of this is where the other outer planets are positioned. Basically, we have a HUGE amount of oppositions and squares going on, all involving massive amounts of growth on the planet as a whole.

We have the planet Pluto in the sign of Capricorn, where it's been since January of 2009, bringing about the breakdown of structures and organizations as we've known them to be. Uranus in Aries makes a very difficult, in fact, the most difficult aspect there is in astrology, an exact square, to Pluto. Then if you factor in the planet Saturn, which is currently in the sign of Libra (the breakdown and dissolution of relationships and relationship issues, in general), Saturn forms an opposition to Uranus in Aries since Aries/Libra are opposite signs. So, that makes life really intense when you add the nanosecond energy to this volatile combination.

This lineup could bring much weather and geological shakeups, not to mention problems with our financial systems, real estate, and so forth. Most people know that many countries of the world, including the United States, are bankrupt or close to it. In this country, many parks are closed. Many people have lost their jobs with little hope on the horizon. Once Uranus moves into Aries, in March, I do expect massive shifts in real estate with foreclosures hitting record numbers we've never seen before. I expect the stock market, metals and pretty much everything taking a fairly big hit. I believe this is the year we will really see some massive changes in these areas which I've been saying for a couple of years now. So, you might ask, who would be most personally effected by this lineup? People with their Sun sign in Aries, Libra, Capricorn and its opposite sign, Cancer, specifically those born from about March 23 - April 4/5, September 23 to October 4/5, December 23 - January 4/5, and June 23 - July 4/5.

Now, keep in mind that you may not be born on those dates but might still have one or more other planets besides the Sun in the degrees that these outer planets hit. Of course, as you know, all charts are different and unique as are fingerprints.

Astrological Comments by George Ward of the Pleiadian Times

George Ward writes the astrology column for the publication The Pleidadian Times and is one of the homelander group on the P's CDs which I subscribe to and share with my class. I greatly respect his analysis and his contributions to the local group in North Carolina and his column in the P Times.

I wish to quote his comments about the eclipse and new moon that just occurred.
"On January 4th, a new Moon solar eclipse at 13 degrees of Capricorn calls upon us to remember our experiences and lessons from many timelines, and integrate them with practical living skills that are simple, efficient useful. Throughout time, winter has always been a natural season for getting by on less, for a sensible use of resources and slowing down for rest and renewal. In the current era, people have increasingly relied on technology, commerce, and modern infrastructure in ways that have interrupted and distracted us from the natural rhythms of winter. Solar eclipses often foreshadow significant endings and beginnings. With world economic, social and environmental structures in chaos and contraction, the solar eclipse in Capricorn will influence the next six Moons.......until the following solar eclipse occurs in the summer of 2011. Capricorn often teaches lessons pertaining to self-sufficient, frugality and preparedness. This eclipse cycle will force many unsuspecting people to confront their most basic survival issues. For those who have prepared, challenges can be met with calmness and gratitude. With the velocity of change continuing to increase, the priority of slowing down to adjust, stabilize and receive internal guidance from our timelines is vital to maintaining a steady course and rediscovering our real purpose for being here."
Jose and Lena Stevens Comments on the Year 2011

Jose and Lena Stevens of The Power Path in Sante Fe, NM, write the Full/New Moon/Monthly forecasts which I forward to all of you. They do good work and that's why I forward them. Each year in December, they channel the yearly forecast based on the Michael material which I teach in my classes. When you have a chart channeled by my friend, Shepherd, you are given your personality overleaves/profile for this life. Jose and Lena channel the energies that are prevalent for the upcoming year. I will give you the highlights and overview of their two hour lecture on the year 2011's trends and energies. It coincides clearly with the astrological weather of this year as well.

They say that this year is a year of hard work, chopping wood, carrying water, nose to the grindstone, kind of year. It's a SERVER year which means there is inspiration through service to others, we'd better do it ourselves, have good boundaries so you're not taken advantage of. The role of Server is known for having compassion for others and forgiving others.

The casting or secondary energies are of the WARRIOR, getting the job done, being productive, willing to take on challenges especially since people are realizing that our leaders are not taking action. Learning about what it is by being served by others, how to serve the community and accept service/help from others. It's an action year, a year of getting back to basics, a reconnection with the land, with what's simple.

The goal is GROWTH which means seeking personal development and helping others to accomplish that, constant activity, feeling good that one is involved in growing and learning. It is crucial to prioritize one's activities, and to make your list a doable one. Do NOT overextend yourself or take on too many activities which will be the impulse during this year. People will tend to get very confused by taking on too much. That is the negative pole of Growth. From time to time, it will be important to take time out and to re-evaluate what you're doing.

The mode (how we accomplish the goal) this year is AGGRESSION. People will normally feel more aggressive and/or assertive which in the positive pole is being dynamic and getting things effectively accomplished. However, the aggression mode is rather difficult to handle. In the negative pole, it comes off as belligerence, pushing people around. Older souls can usually find the balance, but it's not easy. It's a year of breaking out......the need for freedom. It's a time of immense changes.

The attitude is very unusual for this year........for the first 6 months, it is IDEALIST, doing things as perfectly as possible. Perfectionism, getting the job done as best as possible, offers us all hope for the planet. Then after 6 months, it switches to PRAGMATIST. Pragmatists see the most efficient way to get the job done and they do it, they don't wait for it to be perfect.

The obstacle is what trips us all up. This year it's SELF-DEPRECATION. Self-dep is a very popular obstacle. Many people choose this one. It fosters low self-worth. It's energies are "I'm not good enough". People usually struggle to release self-doubt and choices one has made, such as being in a relationship that isn't working. It's someone who questions everything. This year there is a need to let go of what isn't working without feeling bad about any of the choices one has made in the past. Each choice we make teaches us to appreciate the value within ourselves and what we've accomplished in our lives even though those choices no longer serve us, learning to accept that we all do deserve to receive.

The centering, which is our primary way of reacting to everything that happens to us, is EMOTIONAL CENTERING WITH A MOVING PART. This usually creates a wide array of feelings, moving from one feeling to another in a very short time. For those people who are predominantly analytical (intellectual centering), they will be surprised to find themselves being more emotional than usual. Emotionally centered people react from the heart rather than the head. This year will find people bypassing the mind or the analytical sense. It could drive people crazy especially those who are used to figuring out a plan and carrying it out or finding solutions intellectually. This year is about learning to rely on your intuition rather than the intellect. With a moving part, you will not have time to figure things out or react intellectually. If one is coming from a place of FEAR, which is the majority of people, when combined with the aggression mode, one could be highly irrational and take aggressive actions. It's okay to be angry, something our society does not condone, on occasion, if warranted. The way to tell if one's anger is appropriate or not is if it feels okay, then letting off steam in a careful way is good. However, if getting angry doesn't feel good and one gets more aggressive and assertive as time is progressing, then the anger is not appropriate or in balance. So, be careful, and monitor your reactions. It's a year of losing the mind to find the heart...relinquishing the need to know (intellectualizing). Following one's feelings and trusting.

The element this year is WATER and FIRE, two elements usually not compatible. In Feng Shui and the Five Element Theory, water and fire people are not compatible since water puts out fire. Lena and Jose said they don't know how that will show up. My feeling is that there will be more flooding, water related issues and more fires and fire related issues on the planet. The focus will be on the oceans, how they work, resources available from them, how to restore them. Elephants will be in the news since they are servers.

The needs and themes of this year are COMMUNION (sense of community and being connected to other people), EXPRESSION and FREEDOM resulting in the need to express one's self, needing an outlet of some kind, and breaking free of limitations (Uranus in Aries). There could be a great deal of civil unrest. If something isn't serving you, you will want and need to break free. There will be a need of wanting to be with like-minded people, learning how to cook again.

The soul influence is MATURE, creating a sense of radical responsibility for self and the planet. For many years, the orientation in this country and the world was a Young soul orientation wanting to win and be successful. This mature soul or relationship orientation should see a switch to groups banning together, creating en masse revolt (aggression mode), adapting to changing realities, forming new identities, redefining oneself, a revolution of what we're doing on the planet, who we think we are, where we're going, generally, expanding one's thinking of who we and everyone else in the world is....bigger ideas.

Another major theme this year is the uncovering of many things which have been hidden and secret for a long time....wiki leaks is a small example of this, but much bigger and shocking revelations about the government and planet, in general, will be exposed in the next few years.

This year will be the start of the unfolding process. This year will be an understanding of ourselves in terms of mother nature who is one of the biggest servers in the universe. Many people will lead the way of exposing how we've been harming our beautiful planet. There will be a collision course with how corporations do business. Their policies will no longer be viable and will have to change. Much will be accomplished at the local level like the formation of organizations that are sustainable and wanting to solve problems at the local level.

The United States will eventually be a world spiritual leader like India has been known in the past. There are already many spiritual changes underway that are noticeable in the US.

To me, this year looks extremely promising. I want everyone to remember that your beliefs are the ideas of how you perceive your life and the world. If you change your beliefs about yourself and who you think you are, then you can change your entire life. We create our lives based on our feelings and beliefs about ourselves and our lives.

As a reminder, I have several exercises that help each of us create our lives more effectively. If you would like me to email them to you, let me know.

Wishing all of you a FABULOUS year ahead. With loving thoughts to each of you, Stephanie--

Full moon

POWER PATH/FULL MOON UPDATE

FULL MOON -- WINTER SOLSTICE -- TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE

The Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse is at 1:13 AM Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, December 21. The Eclipse should be visible in North and South America after midnight. Winter Solstice is exact at 4:39 PM Mountain Standard Time on the same day.

Needless to say, this is an extremely powerful day especially the time frame between the eclipse/full moon and the solstice, setting the stage for the next period of time. It is imperative that you stay away from any situations where conflict, violence, argument or disagreement is anywhere present. Keep your energy focused and clean.

If you have your ducks in a row and have managed to maintain balance and focus, you could experience a higher centered breakthrough with a lot of insights, clarity, intention and a great sense of rightness to your life and direction. If not, you could be in for a breakdown. Breakdowns will happen in the aftermath of this day and will affect anything that should have been dealt with beforehand.

Make sure to do something special to honor this day, set your intentions, write your wish lists and treat this solstice as the true beginning of a new year. If you are still dealing with situations that do not have closure, do something symbolic such as a burning ceremony around the issues to acknowledge your intention of completion. Practice gratitude for the elements, nature, your allies and all the help that is always available.

Herald the Rebirth of the New Year! The Sun has completed the nadir of its journey and is now renewed and reborn as it crosses the Winter Solstice point (Summer Solstice for Southern Hemisphere folks) and enters the first degree of Capricorn. The sacred point of rebirth - one of the four major astrological power points of the year along with the equinoxes and the summer solstice. We enter the domain of the Raven and ask this crafty ally to gift us as it goes into the dark and brings forth the light.

If you want to read the influences of the year, you look to the Winter Solstice chart, the longest night and shortest day. At this solstice time, the Sun enters Capricorn, the cardinal (initiating) earth sign ruled by serious, orderly Saturn - Lord of Time. The planets are aligning auspiciously on this particular solstice with the torch of a Full Moon illuminating the solstice just 15 hours before, powerfully intensifying the influences that present themselves for our examination and reflecting the upcoming year r (read more link here).

Setting Intentions with the New Moon

The New Moon is Friday and I got this about it which I liked because it's about everything I had already been writing and feeling. When things like this come together, it always makes me feel they are important to my life and maybe to someone else's

"New Moon is Friday, November 5 at 10:52 PM MDT (Mountain Daylight Time). This is a great time to honor the feminine, to go back to zero, start over, clean your slate and set your intentions. These should be your intentions about you and not about someone else. How do YOU want to manifest, create, express and feel?

"You will definitely want to spend some time by yourself today connecting in with and appreciating the power that you do have to intend for things to be just the way you want them.

Make sure your intentions are set from essence and not created by the personality or one of the obstacles such as greed. Being as this is the month for resolution, completion and healing, this is also a good time to simply observe in yourself what needs attention in these areas and set an intention to complete, resolve and heal whatever needs it."

Full moon in Aries

A lot of people don't put much credence in the impact of the moon on our moods or for that matter of astrology at all; but I have been feeling depressed and when I got this email, I thought maybe it's this and it will pass. That's one of the pluses of astrology in my mind; that it gives us a reason when there isn't one and a time when it will pass.

**********************************************
Dear Friends,

Full Moon is at Friday October 22 at 7:38 PM Mountain Daylight Time. This full moon signifies a shift in direction for the intensity of the month. Beware of suddenly feeling depressed, discouraged, shut down, off balance, lethargic or unmotivated. Be neutral about how the energy is showing up and take advantage of the letting up of the constant pressure we have been under. There is a quality of the deep feminine void to this full moon that is most helpful and restful when embraced and not resisted. Take a break, waste some time, spend the day in bed, read, relax, be in nature and allow yourself some down time even if you think you don't need it. A good day to do absolutely nothing and to be affected by absolutely nothing. Practice gratitude and awareness and be present.

Blessings, Lena

Full Moon in Aries/Sun in Libra - 29º.

What? Two Full Moons in Aries in a row. Is the cosmos making a statement here. I think so. How could it be otherwise. The last Full Moon at the Fall Equinox was at 0º Aries and this Full Moon is at 29º Aries. Did I mention there were going to be five (5) Full Moons in a row at 29º? I did. But it bears mentioning again.

What is the significance of 29º? It represents the ending of a cycle, a completion, an encompassing of all the previous aspects and influences, a summation, like the long journey up to the steps of the temple where you turn and look out over your life, acknowledging what has brought you to this point and then removing your shoes and garments and entering the temple without pretense or past. That's where we are at this time.
