Can you imagine us 19 years from now? Will we survive the supposed awakening that's coming this year, at the turning of the great wheel of time---a 26,000 year cycle of our central sun's evolution? If so, what will it look like? Will we move through the polarities of right and wrong, good and evil, us and them, to a humanitarian civilization? Will science and spirituality merge? Will we acknowledge the Earth is a living organism, and will we finally take responsibility for life giving soil and learn how to collectively compost, so that we may renew the Earth rather than rape it?
Gemini represents logic, the collective people and their thinking process. Sagittarius, the opposite sign of Gemini, represents living within the parameters of Natural Law, meaning being in tune with nature. Of course, both these signs represent more, but for this post let's keep it simple.
This Sunday's Eclipse leads us into a series of planetary phenomena that are rare and very significant, because these events rally around the culmination of the transit of Venus, which has taken place over the last eight years and only occurs every 108 years! So none of us alive (hardly any of us are 108) have we been exposed to the extraordinary energy Venus' travel has bestowed on us. As Venus transits in the sky, she weaves an star pattern, the Star of Illumination I call it, of five points. This ancient pattern relates to the ancient understanding at the core of the Earth and the five elements: earth, fire, air, water, and metal.Eclipses facilitate the integration of our masculine (Sun) and feminine (Moon) sides, and occur close to the same degree every 19 years. On May 21, 1993, there was a partial solar eclipse at 1º Gemini; something you began that year is being completed or needing to spiral to the next level. What was important to you that year? What is calling you now? (SA)
Nineteen years ago, this past April, my mother passed into Spirit and I began a journey into another way of life. I literally began communicating with the other side, as my mother and I healed our painful past. I became fascinated and wanted to learn as much as I could about the afterlife. Betty Eddie's book, Embraced by the Light and James van Pragg's books helped me know I was not alone in my experiences. Now as this eclipse cycle closes, all my experiences and the wealth of blessings and gifts I have received are almost ready to be birthed in book form. You may ask yourself, what began in the spring of 1993 for you and where are you with it now? Is it complete or is there more you need to gather?
Even if we have full lives, making time to quiet ourselves, and listen to the wisdom in each breath and each moment, we will fill up with the grace of these times.
Solar eclipses, which are extra powerful new moons, always signal major endings and beginnings. The solar eclipse on May 20 initiates a continuous set of transformative waves in the coming weeks (see important dates above). We are experiencing the close of a 26,000-year cycle — offering a quantum leap in consciousness for each of us and for humanity as a whole. These astrological alignments are galvanizing a massive quickening and acceleration of our evolution. Give yourself as much mediation/prayer/soul time as you can, so you can integrate these huge downloads and upgrades more easily. Ironically, the best way to deal with everything speeding up is to slow down. Stay in the present moment. As soon as you catch yourself worrying about the past or future, fasten your spiritual seatbelt. Take a few deep breaths, ground yourself, focus on your heart, ask your angels/guides for help if necessary, and remember you are participating in a planet-wide, cosmic process. Being mindful of your breath and the big picture will stabilize not only yourself, but all those around you and beyond; everyone and everything is connected.
The eclipse will be visible across the Pacific ocean, from southeast Asia to the western US. Depending on location, the eclipse begins around 5:30 PM PDT, peaks @ 6:24 to 6:28 PM PDT, and ends about an hour later. As an annular, not a total eclipse, the Moon will block about 94% of the Sun, forming a “ring of fire” in the sky for those close to the center line of the eclipse.

If we chose to our align with the nature of the universe, rather than solely adhere to the third dimensional realms of the man-made culture/society we live in, we may benefit greatly now, through conscious soul evolution, personally and collectively.
In addition to the eclipse, two days ago, May 15th Venus turned retrograde, which in itself is uncommon, as it only occurs every 20 months, plus this retrograde of Venus culminates her 8 year transit through the sky. (The first link above talks about the retrograde function of Venus, the second highlighted link is a comprehensive description of the Venus transit).
The return of Venus to the sign of Gemini completes the journey of her transit that began in June of 2004. It was the summer of 2004 that I began to consciously communicate with animals from a distance. I also began to write about astrology at that time, and my relationship to Mary, the Divine Feminine, increased exponentially, and my soul moved closer to its authentic desire and expression that ever before.
What happened for your over the last eight years?
FYI~When any planet moves backward, it creates an inward yin focus, calling for quiet time to reflect and review our lives. Because Venus represents our relationships, to self, other, to money, the earth, and it represents what we value, while it is in the sign of Gemini, and while this eclipse is in Gemini, our minds will hopefully be reviewing what we truly value, and we hopefully will choose to speak our renewed awareness and valued desires. This may be best done once Venus returns to direct motion, June 27th at 7 Gemini.
At the same time, the planet Jupiter, the planet of expansion, moves into Gemini and will eventually square Neptune in Pisces and then Chiron, which is soon to be retrograde as well. Then on June 19th we have another new moon in Gemini, believe it or not! The other significant simultaneous event is the 1st Uranus-Pluto square on June 24th. Without going into a great deal of explanation of this aspects, one thing I can say is, HOLD ON TO YOUR SPIRITUAL TOOLS BECAUSE THE RIDE MAY GET INTENSE, and beautiful if we are grounded and awake to evolution and its phenomenal dance. Otherwise, we can get caught up, and dis-oriented, in the extremes occurring in politics, the weather, the economy...you get the picture.
I haven't written for quite some time. I'm glad to be back and will continue to post.
God Bless.
