Seek the Higher Ground Always...

Saturn/Pluto/Jupiter Conjunctions of 2020

The force of the alignments the planets are making is all about change; from the ground up. Astrologers and many others saw a tidal wave of energy coming our way; with the potential to level us, or to bring about big changes. It began with Saturn in Capricorn in concert with Pluto in Capricorn. The time frame for this close alignment was 12/29/19-1/31/20. Saturn rules structure, building the foundation, government, rules....and the consequences of our actions. Pluto is the destroyer; it rules death and transformation. It breaks down structures in order to rebuild them. There is a power struggle between these energies that force us to change our usual lives and habits, and transform our social order.

Then Jupiter joins with Pluto at 24 degrees Capricorn from: 3/29/20 until 4/5/20 for the first of three conjunctions 6/22/20-6/30/20 for the second 11/7/20-11/13/20 at 22 degrees for the third

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with the energy to expand upon the sign it’s in, and planets it travels with. It is a blessed planet with generosity and indulgence tendencies. Here Jupiter and Pluto can stir the pot up and enlarge the Capricorn principle of building a new foundation. Pluto wants to blow it all up, and like the Phoenix rise from the ashes brand new. Jupiter in Capricorn is practical, hard working and goal oriented. Both in Capricorn have the goal of strong beginnings and are not afraid to start from scratch.

This inspiration peaks on these days. What does it mean for you? You are witnessing and part of a huge transformation that is taking place right now. You are being tested, your beliefs are being tested, the very foundation of your being is being tested. Is it true anymore? Can you count on anything you used to count on? We are under construction, our new foundations are being created on shaky ground or firm concrete. We must begin at the beginning, one more time, in order to find the feather of truth within our hearts.

The first thing to look at is what are we still afraid of? What limits us? Is it really true anymore? Then to ask ourselves, what can I do about it? May I suggest a journey you can take to find the answers time and time again to these questions.

Journey Meditation:

Sit or lie comfortably where you won’t be disturbed for a while. Create this space for yourself and once you do, surrender to it. Be at peace and grateful for this time. Close your eyes and pay attention to your breathing, as it slows down and becomes rhythmic, it leads you to that place between the here and now.

As you open your inner eyes, you find yourself looking at your library, your personal library. It can take place in any form, so do not compare or judge it’s appearance, but do take note to remember. Find your way into your library through the opening and look around. Face all

directions and take in how your personal library looks. Discover how to find information either through an apparatus or a librarian or a guide to help you. Here you can ask any question, research any answer, receive help that information can provide you. You have full access to your past, your present and your future; as it pertains to your current questions.

When you have satisfied your curiosity for today, once again look over your library in gratitude. You are grateful for the help you received, the insights you’ve gained, and the wisdom it’s provided you. Find your way out of your library and to the path that led you there. Breathe deeply and exhale slowly before returning to your physical awareness. At this point I suggest you write down what you’ve experienced, as journeys are fleeting like dreams; best captured and recorded right away. We all have resources within us to access. The old adage, knock and the door will be opened to you. Sometimes we forget to ask for help, for understanding; but here with practice you will KNOW you will receive help and answers. You can build that connection between you and Spirit and know you aren’t alone. Ever.

These are powerful times, this is a powerful year! The whole planet is reeling from these planetary transits, and we are all under construction. Another big event on it’s way; The Summer Solstice/New Moon Eclipse! Seek the higher ground always and watch our world and our lives transform.

The Strawberry Full Moon in Sagittarius

This month of June has many inspirations, signals, and possibilities. June 5th at 12:12 PM, PDT heralds the Full Moon in the Sign of Sagittarius.

In these times where we wonder will we ever return to our lives we led in 2019? With the planets and luminaries signaling change, that is unlikely. We are creating our new selfs, from the inside out.

While Full Moons heighten our emotions and push our buttons, a Full Moon Eclipse magnifies this by 10. In the sign of Sagittarius, which rules travel, higher learning and foreign cultures; we are feeling the energy of this Fire Sign urging us to get out and seek new paths to creativity and unlimited thinking. We are being shown the opposition of the Sun and Moon with Full Moons, and we see the battle of consciousness weighing on our minds in the Gemini/Sagittarius axis. Gemini skims the surface while Sagittarius leaves no stone unturned in it’s search for truth. We are pushed to our limits to break free and find our own truths, our own power and seek our own wisdom.

On June 5th we have Mars stationed at 15 degrees Pisces, exactly squaring the Sun and Moon. This means there is more energy added to this Full Moon from Mars, the warrior planet. While Mars transits the sign of Pisces this warrior is sympathetic to the cause of the victims, those who are disenfranchised or taken advantage of. Add to this Venus Retrograde conjoined the Sun in Gemini. It slows down our forward movement in our relationships and financial affairs so we can rethink, renegotiate and reappraise our values and needs.

So this Full Moon is full of potential. The highest use of this energy is to look deeply within, admit our limitations honestly, and work with the highest goals to free ourselves from our past. Recreate our future free from self deception. Free from fear of the unknown, as we’ve been living through the unknown for months now. If we seek our own enlightenment over all else, we clear the path to our higher mind and higher version of ourselves. These planets and luminaries support us in this quest. Life becomes magical when we treat it as so. May I suggest you create a sacred space, an altar, and as you create it consider what you are bringing into your new reality, as represented by this altar. Sagittarius is a fire sign, so a candle would bring in this element. It is the sign of higher learning, and religion, so a representation of your highest beliefs could include a statue, a symbol, a deity you revere, or a crystal that links you with the beyond. Get creative, add flowers, divining tools as Runes or Tarot cards, whatever you are guided to add to your altar. The purpose here is not the “stuff” but the intention behind it. Sacred is sacred.

On this Full Moon Eclipse, feel the power of the universe guide you to reveal your stumbling blocks that need clearing in your path. Sit by your altar, indoors or outdoors, and begin your journey. Close your eyes and imagine you are in your Sacred Garden. You unlock the doorway into this garden through your heart chakra. This is your garden, and the garden will reveal itself to you in a stage of needing work or as a glorious work of art; or everything in between. Our sacred garden is our own to create and we plant the seeds of our future hopes and wishes there.

If you come to your garden and are seeing a barren place, it is time to recreate it. Is it full of rocks that limit the growing space? Choose the most notable ones and one by one put your hand on them and ask who they are and why they are there. Have dialog with them and learn why they impede your path into your lush garden. They can simply disappear once you’ve understood what they represent, or you may use them to build with, as they’ve been transmuted into wisdom. Or when you enter your garden you may be pleasantly surprised to find a beautifully landscaped place full of unknown gifts and delights. You can explore and learn of all the beauty that lives within you and your heart.

However you find your Sacred Garden, it is always up for change, and ready to fully support your seeds planted, your buildings built, your bridges over waterways; all creations. This journey can be revisited time and time again to check in on the progress of your creation. Once you have explored and learned, thank your garden and those Spirit Helpers who help to tend it for their assistance. Come back to your physical reality and write what you’ve learned in a journal or file. You will be amazed looking back on these journey notes at how far you have come due to your passion to be your highest version.

There is much more in store this month; The Summer Solstice Saturday June 20th coinciding with a New Moon Lunar Eclipse. Pluto and Jupiters combined energies inspiring the Phoenix principle, and 6 planets Retrograde this month. So seek the high ground and keep an open mind.

For(give)ness

(v) to stop feeling angry or resentful toward (someone) for an offense, flaw, or mistake.

We are so used to hearing to “forgive” those that have hurt us and betrayed our trust... But what if you took FULL ownership of this pain and betrayal? RIGHT NOW is a powerful time with many shifts happening in our planets, our environment and within oursevles. Stay aware and take notes!

This month is a great time to truly focus on your deeper feelings so you can let go of any stagnate energy that has surfaced. This is showing up purposely to help you conjure up forgiveness within yourself and to others!

When you find yourself in chaos with another person or within your self on a spiritual soul level, you have personally chosen these people to come into your life to teach you life lessons and possibly forgiveness. A great way to understand this belief system is to understand that we have two ways of teaching and being taught emotions that set our souls free of pain, and puts us into understanding the growth that can come from weighted experiences and interactions.

Here are the 2 ways:

1) If a soul has done inner work and has learned & grown from their past experiences, they will come to teach you forgiveness to encourage and help YOU forgive a past pain.

2) If a soul has not done their work, they will teach you by hurting you so you can eventually understand and learn to truly forgive.

When you can look at these two ways from your heart, you can find compassion for the soul that has “hurt you.” It’s our ego that wants to “punish” them for not evolving and not doing the teaching with grace. We are always in free will to teach a soul lesson. The more inner work you do, the more you will attract life lessons and teachings from more evolved souls. You are never powerless in any situation and to forgive, means to forgive yourself for the part you have played!

With the energy of Spring entering into our daily lives, it’s time to rebirth our lives by watching nature bloom, grow and spring forward! When we stay present, we’re able to see the beauty of our surroundings which brings the now energy into our hearts and lives.

Here is a great forgiveness prayer that I personally love and also share with my clients and anyone who is in need of an uplifting vibration.

I sometimes use it to forgive myself for making choices that I can’t let go of, or I use it if I’m holding negative feelings towards someone else... It’s bring so much peace and joy into my heart!

Ho’oponopono works by releasing and correcting relations from our past, present and future. In quantum physics, it is to believe we are living our past, present and future simultaneously, which is exactly what this prayer does)!!

When you work with this prayer you are clearing the waves of energy to cleanse and let go of these negative feelings and low vibrations. This helps raise your frequency to a higher vibration which can connect to higher vibrational experiences and relationships (more evolved people and experiences of inspirational growth).

Healing prayer technique:

Hoʻoponopono (ho.o.po.no.po.no) is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. The Hawaiian word translates into English simply as correction.

There a few ways you can do this prayer:

1) Closing your eyes, meditating on the situation and repeating the prayer.

2) You can write down your name and/or the persons name you’re having to “forgive” and handwrite the prayer 10 times.

3) You can look at a picture of yourself and or the person you want to forgive, and repeating the prayer out loud in a repetition of 5 times. Once you finish the cycle of prayers, close your eyes to feel the release in your heart.

Prayer:

I love you (for who you are as you are),

I'm sorry (for whatever pain I've caused and for any karmic interaction),

Please forgive me (for creating this dynamic),

Thank you (for being my teacher)

-Namaste-
