The events and experiences in our daily lives are moving much more rapidly than they ever did before. More and more of us are becoming aware of this excelleration in time…
The intention of this astro-based newsletter is to share relevant information on the current celestial forces that are shaping and changing the world that we live in.
Mayan Calendar
In order to resonate with what is going on we need to have some understanding of the Mayan calendar and its prophecies. The ancient mayans were very sophisticated astronomers and astrologers. Specifically, the calendar know as the ‘long count’ covers a span of over 16 billion years. Starting, presumably, from the big bang and ending, specifically on — dec. 21 2012. Mayan astrology is galaxy based (the milky way) where as conventional astrology is solar system based.
There are 9 ‘underworlds’, each consisting of 13 ‘heavens’. Each underworld is 20 times shorter in duration than the last one and –interestingly– each exists simultaneously– all of them coming to an end at sunrise Dec 21 2012 , when the sun will be in direct alignment with our galactic center –27 degrees sagittarius.
The calendar is NOT a marker of linear time as we know it (as is our regular seasonal calendar). Instead it is a system that organizes, sequences and directs the ‘evolution of consciousness’.
The 8th underworld: the Galactic Underworld
We are currently in the 8th underworld — the galactic underworld—12.8yrs. long. It began Jan. 5 1999. Its purpose is to balance the right and left sides of the brain. Typically, left brain , rational/ material thinking tends to dominate us. Unfoldment and harmonizing of the intuitive nature is the purpose of this underworld. This is playing out on a personal level as well as on the global stage.
Currently we are in the ‘5th night’. —the 360 day basic unit of time, called a ‘tun’. It began on Nov.19 2007. Specifically this period of time is referred to as the ‘budding’ and its energy is about internalizing and integrating what is ‘budding’ in your life — as your personal truth.
A major part of the process in getting to one’s ‘personal truth’ is about facing and releasing ones shadow material or deeply held cellular pain. To the maya the 5th night is associated with what they termed ’shebalba’ –or the dark night of the soul. In essence the experience of this ‘tun’ is the inner journey of clearing and healing deeply held cellular memories which cause dis-ease (your personal ‘un-truths’) and to break free from the cultural ‘lie’. (the rational/material imbalance)
Alchemy, deep healing and the cleansing of the luminous energy field are necessary to embody the spirit of your truth. This cleansing is required to ‘lighten’ the body so that it is able to hold the vibrational level of pure light that is currently coming in waves to the planet–and completely by 2012.
Collectively this process gives us the opportunity to make a ’standing way’. The more our physical bodies lighten the more divine light can come through us and intensify and amplify its effect on the planet.
Some current celestial information
spring equinox until summer solstice
This is the annual time of seeding.
Traditionally it is considered the most fertile time of the year to act on your plans.
New projects undertaken during this time have a high likelihood of success.
aries new moon (April 5)
Is the first moon cycle of this season. Aries is the sign of new beginnings and the pioneering spirit. The waxing moon (1st 2 weeks before the full moon) is the best time to start projects, whether it is seeding the garden or initiating a valued personal project
neptune, chiron, north node in aquarius
A very signifigent and rare combination has been forming in the sky over the past few weeks between neptune ( the planet of spirituality and universal love), chiron ( the ‘wounded healer’ ) and the north node of the moon (point of our unfolding destiny). They will come to their closest conjunction on June 2 of this year and will continue to stay in close relationship with eachother throughout 2008. This is a major transit which facilitates the healing of the ‘darkness’ in ourselves and the opening up to unconditional love.
The negative side of this combination is: increased confusion and denial used as a defense mechanism to avoid healing those painful areas. This course will only lead to a continued sense of seperateness, limitation and dis-ease on a soul level.
We can only go with the flow of the cosmic plan
All other movement will only direct us away from ’source’
