7 Years Later

I have always believed there are significant points in time which should and do matter to our planet and humanity. My beliefs have been confirmed in studies and current events, which have included such subjects as Geology, Physical Geography, and readings of various cultural beliefs.

The truth of the matter is I pay attention to the Mayan Calendar. There is a significance to 2012, which studies in Astrology also confirm. Our current state of existence is in a precious space/time point where different types of energy fluctuate and natural occurrences recycle over time. Such action is taking place at this moment - not at an alarming rate but surely progressing. Indeed! Natural cycles appear to occur which affect humanity and other species on earth, but how does it effect our intellect? Will we all witness a transformation so epic that only a few will remain to tell their version of what happened ... as has happened in past times? Such occurrences are rare and do happen; humanity will simply respond, especially with our type of intellect.

We are in a phenomenal space/time zone where innovation is flourishing and limits are expanding. Scientists are finding planetary bodies which mimic Earth's climate -- exoplanets which could carry life similar to ours. Now is the time for us to become aware of our human potential and how it is impacting our state of existence. Even the possibility of extraterrestrial life is becoming closer to actualization while some are on the verge of replicating human existence from laboratories with their design of brain functions, clones, and expansive research that will continue to save and change more lives. It is a time to put attention to how brilliant our own species is developing and expanding.

Though such innovation and new experiences are unbelievable, our environment is sensitive to such human impact. Pollution and smog, for example, create problems which affect health and climate. Whether we like to admit it or not, Nature reacts to any and all changes which are carried out from human interference, including gaseous air, wildfires, water pollution, altered landscape, even  famine. Though we have shown enduring responses with artificial environments, which can and does mimic nature, such types of environments (and laboratories) are still at its premature levels; humanity may still have to test and use survival skills to advance or preserve natural living in these environments just mentioned.

Spirituality, on the other hand, is an intuitive belief system, dear to many. How it recalls the origin of existence, the fate of many, and the karmic reaction to all that takes place in this experience called life may be impacted not only by unseen guidance that is beyond logical comprehension, but also cyclical occurrences. It is hard to refute cycles which naturally occur or result from an experience already witnessed, but many do believe in fate and karma. No matter the differences in belief systems, time and space have shown the likeliness of certain events taking place which will eventually affect life and environment. It is happening now, but Science is still studying it. We are fortunate to experience these levels of change and occurrences which have a high likeliness of occurring but during a different time and space. Now may be the time to realize and prepare for such great changes.

Cancer Season and Retrogrades

It is no surprise some of us may be feeling stuck within our individual self, with five planets retrograde to Earth's point-of-view and Chiron, the Wounded Healer also retrograde in Aries. What does this all mean? Since Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, Neptune, and Mercury all seem to be going backwards according to our earthly perspective, it is their aspects which are driving many of us into deep thinking, deep feeling, and even going static. Many of us may experience delays, karmic relations, and even unusual solitude - as if some of us need to hideaway from our everyday experiences or worldly views. It is okay to retreat now-and-then as long as we also realize that we are at a stage where we are clearing out past experiences and trying to welcome in new ones.

It is currently Cancer Season and the sign of Cancer is known for being emotional, family-oriented, and deeply attached. Cancer loves the comfort of home and knowing there are those waiting for him or her to return from whatever journey is underway. It is also Eclipse Season, so there is a very karmic knot tied to new beginnings and overdue endings. All of this is occurring while planets are in retrograde and the north node is in the sign of Cancer, while the south node is in Capricorn. Capricorn is hosting Saturn and Pluto retrogrades, and even though Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn - meaning it is restrictive, concrete, and responsible, it is also peering over each soul as if some of us must meet certain karmic obligations. Pluto, in the meantime, is playing with our psyche and mind, and perhaps forcing some of us to dig deep into our meaning and purpose.

Jupiter is at home in its own sign of Sagittarius and Neptune, as well, in Pisces. Both are retrograde, which means for Jupiter in Sag., some of us may be actively thinking of searching for new beginnings or something different, and more than usual, while also considering changing parts of our own lifestyle. Neptune retrograde in Pisces may have us in a dreamland we do not want to leave, and to even do so may be quite foggy for a lot of us.

The notorious Mercury Retrograde may be causing electronics to go haywire, traffic to be absurd, and/or communication to be slower than usual, or perhaps that is just the way some of us roll! Sure, many of us can blame Mercury going backwards for some crazy occurrences happening in our individual life, but the truth of the matter is that Mercury is a fast-moving planet, and when it appears to be going backwards from our perspective, it seems to slow down time. So, perhaps many of us are aware that we need to slow down and things are happening before our very eye which is causing us to realize these kinds of moments.

The biggest effect most likely felt right now is Chiron going retrograde in Aries. Chiron is a wounded healer, but also an asteroid, so it is seen as an outcast that cuts deep into our healing soul. In other words, anyone who knows what it is to be hurt perhaps by those we love or had trusted is revisiting certain emotions and wounds which need more time to heal or pass. It is in the sign of Aries, so some of us may be experiencing egotistical defeats since many of us rely on our ego to dictate our self-confidence and worth. Just know that even though Chiron is reopening wounds, it is only to lead many back to their higher self.

Are you Feeling the Energy?

Today was strong in terms of solar energy -- all of a sudden, I was experiencing a high-level of stressful energy mixed with a wandering mind while dealing with business as usual, which can be tough at times! I usually look to the stars for familiar aspects which can and do often appear in natural cycles, but this energy was so strong! I have to think it was due to more than meets the eye:
