Full Moon Phase: illumination

Moon in Aquarius/Pisces

Ruling Mahavidya:  Dhumavati (Goddess of Mirrors) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: review your emotional life since June 2013 and prepare for insight

Negative Imprint: rushing, jealousy, power struggles

Positive Imprint: elevated view, shows of appreciation, answers 

The Full Moon phase continues to bring super-illumination of information that is gold to us.

Students of the Mysteries lived by the principle of "know yourself, know the universe."  Today we learn.  The trend will continue throughout the Full Moon phase, as Jupiter passes its last few days in Cancer and moves into Leo.  When Jupiter shifts signs, especially under the radical, liberating energetics in place this month, it brings tremendous insight.  Jupiter rules Sagittarius, which involves higher learning and the quest for truth.

Jupiter has been traveling through Cancer since June 27, 2013.  Since that time, our emotional bodies have undergone expansion.  We've reformed our individual sense of independence and our collective sense of Gaia Sophia.  Heart chakras have been overhauled.  We feel different things now.

On Wednesday, July 16 at 7:22 am ET/ 11:22 am UT, Jupiter will enter Leo and embers of light begin the initial stages of a blaze that will spread like wildfire.  Leo is ruled by the Sun, the divine being Sabaoth to the Gnostics.  In more ways than any, we are children of the Sun.  The Sun's light and energy grows us day by day.  The light of humanity will burn brightly through August 2015, when Jupiter moves into Virgo.  I will be happy to tell the story of Jupiter in Virgo when that time comes because awareness and connection with Gaia Sophia will have increased by magnitudes.  And much of this will be due to the efforts of light workers and wise owls between now and then.  People like you.  This will be fun.

The Spirit of Liberty, so strongly present this month with the energetics to liberate, ushers in this blaze of light of Jupiter in Leo and will softly underpin it during the long transit.

Today the energy prompts a critical review of our emotions.  We seek to understand what has happened to our emotions since last June and reframe them within a greater meaning.  We honor the teaching and review it now for mastery before beginning higher instruction.

Recognition, reward, and appreciation for long-standing efforts (an efforts of valor and labors of love) are possible today.  On the other end, some people will show off and try to capture attention today.  Themes with recognition/ignoring are strong.  Perhaps you need to recognize or show appreciation to someone.  Efforts along this line will ripple through the collective.

Remember that this month the theme of liberation of what has bound us (or of what was previously though forbidden) is underway.  Jupiter is at the last degree of Cancer, with the Sabian symbol of "a daughter of the American Revolution."  This is the Spirit of Liberty, the Goddess of Liberty.  Happy Bastille Day to all les hiboux francais sages!

Full Moon Phase: illumination

Moon in Capricorn/Aquarius

Ruling Mahavidya:  Dhumavati (Goddess of Death) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: open your eyes to what the Full Moon is illuminates for you

Negative Imprint:  anger, jealousy, projection of issues onto others

Positive Imprint: taking good care of people and things including ourselves

The energetics of this lunar month focus on bringing us liberation - freedom - from something that has blocked us.  With the Full Moon, we have fullest light to become enlightened to what that is.  We look back to what has transpired for us since the New Moon on June 27th.  From what are you being released?  What is changing?  Is it your mind?  Is it your heart?

Full Moon phases bring the fullest expression of the energy imprinted back at New Moon phases.  Things reach a head during Full Moons.  A fever often stirs.

Full Moon phase energy is closely associated with three people - particularly love triangles.  The Sabian symbols for the Full Moon phase repeatedly emphasize the number 3.  This will manifest in various ways.  You could have an unusual sighting of three animals, see an unusual animal three times, be the odd person out, or triangulate a destination.  It can show up in any way.  This energetic signature will be present for the rest of this lunar month.  It's a signal to us and usually coincides with thinking about or being in the middle of a certain situation.  This situation is undergoing shift and change.  Remember that this month, things that have been coming apart, loosening up, or breaking apart are in an accelerated process of decline.

And, as discussed yesterday at the end of the audio recording posted above at www.oraclereport.com, the other question that presents itself for consideration for the remainder of the month is What has been forbidden to you?  The Wisdom Goddess Dhumavati wields this question for our instruction as the Moon wanes back to darkness and rebirth.  Things that have seemed unattainable, unthinkable, unbelievable, or undoable perhaps are not so much so.  The point is to liberate our minds to at least entertain the idea.  It may seem quite radical to you based on previous beliefs.

One other thing to keep in mind as we continue under the heavy Mars/Eris energy of aggression, conflict, battle (and personal revelation) is that the Moon will aspect Jupiter around 10:30 pm ET Saturday / 02:30 am UT Sunday - just before the Moon moves into Aquarius.  This is the last time the Moon will aspect Jupiter while Jupiter is in Cancer.  When the Moon moves into Aquarius and as it transits through Aquarius for a couple of days, shadow sides will be activated ("Black Moon days" as I call them).  This is because the Black Moon is in Leo, and triggers not only Leo but also Aquarius.  Wise owls who are Leos and Aquarians and those with the Black Moon in Leo and Aquarius will feel this most intensely.  Themes involving caretaking, being appreciated, and recognized are present Saturday and morph into themes involving change, order, and status Sunday.  If the energy gets to be too much, go outside and reconnect with nature.  Ask for assistance.

Happy Full Moon, everyone.  Hope you enjoy the audio.

(Note:  The power of the number 3 is highly occultic.  Three 3's - as in 333, 3:33, etc. - are triple empowered.  The wisdom associated with triple 3's can be used for malefic or benefic purposes.  When you see it, it is not necessarily positive.  In fact, the Mahavidyas have instructed that it is a signal that Archons are seeking to interfere and are making their purposes known.  All it means is that we make certain we follow our normal routine of protective measures.  Praying to the directions (as described in Native American shamanism in particular) - the "Medicine Wheel of Protection" - is a pre-eminent practice.  It invokes a sphere around us that is sovereign.  It makes a complete circuit between the Earth, the heavens, and ourselves.  I have learned this the hard way, so I can attest that it works and it works very, very well.  If you see a 333, there is no need to fear.  It is merely a signal.)

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, magic

Moon in Capricorn

Ruling Mahavidya:  Dhumavati (Goddess of Mirrors) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: embrace the current of energy and go where it takes you without fear

Negative Imprint: masks, insincerity, not participating, giving up, denial of what's being revealed, feeling alone

Positive Imprint: freedom, fantasy, pleasure, healthiness, making the best of what's around and actually creating something better

On the eve of a magical Full Moon, a "super moon," we begin to feel the release and the relief from energies (situations, thoughts, beliefs, encumbrances, relationships, obstacles, habits, negativity) that have bound us.  This is the blessing of the divine feminine energy that cradles us right now.  We are held very closely.

The day's energy is so powerfully life-affirming and aligned with rebirth that I will just direct you to the past few days' reports in the Archives at www.oraclereport.com.  All of that is still in play with the new world order.  It's getting plainer and plainer for everyone to see, and the light of the Full Moon will only accelerate the vision.  So we understand that we are still under the Illuminati's favorite energy for attempts at control - the Mars/Eris energy, the Battle Twins.  Mars will make exact opposition with Eris overnight (July 12 01:00 am ET/ 5:00 am UT).  This is when the transit reaches the apex of its power.

Back to the beauty at hand.  Today's energy unleashes a wave of imagination, creativity, and heightened intuition.  It ranges from romantic to etheric to sonic to harmonic to simplistic.  It's like floating on a current.  It takes you wherever your mind can go.

With this in mind, we are super-sensitive to our own inner voice - our intuition, guidance, and stirrings in the heart.  Remember we are released from something and almost magnetically drawn toward something else.  Free your mind of what this might mean or look like.  It could be a thought or belief about yourself or a situation.  Whatever it is, it is something that has metaphorically bound you in chains.  It may be multiple things.

We are held in tight embrace by Gaia Sophia, her ally Sabaoth (the Sun) , her emissaries (The Wisdom Goddesses aka Mahavidyas), the divine beings in the Galactic Center, and their emissaries (the forces of light in the galaxy).  All we do is hold on.

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust

Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (The Goddess of Death) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: stunt overreaction and channel anger productively

Negative Imprint: jealousy, bondage, taking on too much, injustice, rigidity

Positive Imprint: loyalty, playfulness, balance, creativity (especially with writing and music), change to the status quo

This is quite a day, guys.  In fact, until the Full Moon on the 12th, the skills of wise owls across the world are needed.  The matrix is pushing an emotional maelstrom with Mars' opposition to the Eris Point and now Mars' opposition to Eris itself.

The archetypal energy of these battle forces, the twins Mars (Aries) and Eris, tears through things.  It prompts a great deal of anger and conflict, even as it tries to work the high end of the energy.  On the macro or collective level, the energy produces revelation of truth and social change.  On the micro or individual level, the truth about ourselves, others, and our lives in general is shown.  Mars and Eris blaze through on their horses, tearing back the veils.

Eris also tends to throw "apples of discord."  In the story, the Trojan War is incited by Eris after she crashes the gods' party and throws the Apple of Discord.  The Apple of Discord is labeled "To the fairest" - which is the same thing at "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is fairest of them all?"  A fight breaks out and the gods use humanity to solve the matter. 

Eris energy makes us want to throw things.  She shakes us out of superficial pursuits.

In addition, today's energy also carries a signature of consecration.  The Sabian symbol of the degree of the Sun is "a priest performing a marriage ceremony."  Be wise to what you are committing or vowing.  Don't sacrifice yourself for another and don't force things.

This energy is most effectively navigated by moving your body.  Anger is channeled productively through activity.

This month's ruling Wisdom Goddesses, Dhumavati and Kali, have a special message today.  First off, they are ON IT and they have been all month.  They are using the Mars-Eris energy to tear down the systems of enslavement of humanity - even though it looks differently, like the new world order is creating chaos and winning.  When it comes to chaos, Kali rules.

The goddesses would like us to know that all of the death, destruction, and ungodliness that the Archons and their minions are inflicting is only taking them down.  It saddens us to our souls to watch the suffering and the manipulation, but it is being rectified and we are part of the process.  Our mindsets are a tremendous force.  The goddesses would like us to take heart and be courageous.

Secondly, they wish us to consider the inverse of what we typically believe.  We tend to think we are human beings having a spiritual experience.  This is true.  But it is also true that we are spiritual beings having a human experience.  Do you feel the inner shift this produces?  We are so brainwashed into thinking that we are puny, powerless humans locked in a cycle of repetitive lives paying for our choices over eons of time.  The Mahavidyas call bullshit on that.  (Yes, they curse.)  We are much greater than this.  The goddesses would like us to remember this.

As the emotional maelstrom tries to entangle us, we see through to the bigger truth.  We understand that our emotions are triggered and that shadow sides are coming out.  Think before you act.  If someone acts or lashes out, remember that everyone's shadow side is being activated right now.  We don't ignore it (because truth is trying to be revealed) but we do not have to engage it or take it head on.  It's a shamanic feat to be able to stop ourselves from overreacting under this energy.  If you feel the need to "lob" something back, be wise about it.  Throwing an apple of discord has far-reaching consequences.

Let's carpe diem wise-owl style.

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust

Moon in Sagittarius

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of Mirrors) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: undertake a personal quest that your heart guides

Negative Imprint: inability to feel satisfied, indecision, empire-building and control, self-aggrandizement

Positive Imprint: multiplicity, mystery, guardianship, protection

The Sun released an M-6 flare yesterday at 12:20 pm ET/ 6:20 pm UT.  At that time, the Moon was located at 25 degrees of Scorpio.  Solar flares enhance the energy of the day, most specifically the energy that the Moon is broadcasting at the time of the flare.  The Sabian symbol for 25 Scorpio is "an x-ray photograph."  Energetics to be able to peer deeply into things, like the layers of an onion, were delivered.  This is the energy of insight, which reveals the structure and reality of things.  What did you obtain insight with yesterday?  What changes were you working toward?  How is the structure of your life shifting under the intensity of this month?

Today's energy takes us on a bit of a quest.  We are searching for satisfaction with something - something we need.  Along the way, we see situations that have "dried up" or no longer provide what they did.  We see what's pointless.  The search for protection or guidance is also part of this, as is the search for relief from heavy burdens, responsibilities, or things that are weighing on our hearts and minds.  Remember that this month is all about being liberated from what holds us back or drags us down.  We have all the power to leave something behind or let it go.  The best things to leave behind are negative mental constructs and beliefs about ourselves that have been introduced by the parasitic infection of the Archons.

Today's quest also reveals artifice.  Artificial shows of strength and posturing (by people and nations) are exhibited.  Over-doing, over-stating, and overreactions go over-the-top.  We find ourselves shaking our heads with the waste.

Sub-elements of today's energy involve a plethora of choices, indecision over the plethora of choices, and second chances.

Remember that the Sabian symbol for this lunar month is "gamebirds feathering their nests."  I've discussed what this means in two audio recordings (which can be found on the Audio page here at www.oraclereport.com).  We are targeted right now - like gamebirds.  The new world order is making big war moves under the Mars-Eris energy.   We have three more days to go in the window of time I highlighted.  Stay grounded with the planet and spend time outdoors to moderate the emotional effects that are being produced.  And don't forget we have two mighty Wisdom Goddesses on duty this month, including Kali herself.  All of the destruction and death that the new world order is pelting us with is being mirrored back to them in short order.  The more they do, the more they are destroying themselves.  We align ourselves with Gaia Sophia and her emissaries as the dissolution of everything contrary to natural world order happens before our eyes. 

We are the parliament of wise owls and we are grounded, aware, and watching.

First Quarter Moon Phase: take action

Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (The Goddess of Mirrors) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: embrace the natural impetus to move forward and grow

Negative Imprint: control; suppression and inhibition of ideas and opinions (and self); rushing and missing things; pushiness; exhibitionism

Positive Imprint: nurturance of the things we care about (including self); patience; a desire to reveal or expose one's truth

We are in "double" First Quarter energy as we are in the First Quarter phase of a First Quarter cycle.  If that is double speak to you, think of dividing the year into 8 parts that parallel the Moon phases.  This month is like a long First Quarter phase.  Next month is, too.  First Quarter is the energy of stepping out of our comfort zone and taking action.  It's when the seedling pops through the soil and into the light.  It's the time to reach beyond.  So there is a great, natural impetus to move forward and grow.

The Moon completes its transit of Scorpio today, tying off the control issues that started yesterday.  Saturn is in Scorpio as well, and the combination of the two planets in Scorpio brings up control issues.  Defiance is strong, lending force to the push for liberation from what binds us.  Liberation is the theme this month.  The Moon moves into Sagittarius around 9:30 pm ET/ 1:30 am UT, mellowing things out a bit.

Mercury, fresh from its backward movement to revitalize our mental processes, makes opposition to the Galactic Center today, sharpening our wits and delivering information and messages that are important to our course.  In the Gnostic view, the Galactic Center is the true home of our benefactrix, Gaia Sophia, and the place from which life in our galaxy is configured.  When Mercury lines up with the GC, a direct line to Source also opens.  Divine frequencies flood the collective of humanity and the grid of the Earth.  We always look toward Source when a planet reaches the opposition point of the GC - 27 degrees of Gemini.  The Sabian symbol of this degree is "a young gypsy emerging from the woods gazes at far cities."  We are out here in the far limbs of the galaxy with our sights fixed on something greater than ourselves.  Something greater is always delivered with this astrological alignment.  Connections are made.  Pay close attention to nature for animal sightings and close attention to your environment in general for synchronicities.  New readers will appreciate Ted Andrews' book Animal Speak to reference the meaning of different animals and animal encounters.

There is a tendency today to rush forward, missing critical details and trying to make things ready before their time.  Much of the push comes in relation to the goals, intentions, dreams, wishes, or projects that were "seeded" at the New Moon in Aries.  What did you envision for yourself then?  We are only in the First Quarter time of growth for those things.  Much time still remains for things to develop.  Think of this time as the preliminary stage and don't become angry, sad, or frustrated if things don't look the way you want them to right now.  Have patience and in the meantime, as things are shifting into a better place, enjoy life.

Enjoying life is the main thing that the matrix has stolen from us.  Wise owls endeavor to bring back the fun and the appreciation of life.  We are falling out of enslavement to the matrix and falling back in love with life.  We recognize that we are immersed in a beautiful habitat and give thanks for the opportunity to grow, experience, and learn on an uncommonly rare jewel of a planet.  (She's a goddess and a planet.)  Instead of  Descartes' "I think therefore I am," "we breathe therefore we experience."  By virtue of being alive on this planet, we are blessed.

Find some beauty while life happens today and if you are able, snap a photograph and send it to me to share with everyone.

First Quarter Moon Phase: step out, take action

Moon in Scorpio

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (The Goddess of Death) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: follow the prescribed path

Negative Imprint: rigidity, being locked in to ways of thinking and doing

Positive Imprint: movement, allowing new ways of thinking and doing

There is a "prescription" for today's energy: connect, consult, choose, and change.

Connect - For the past three weeks, our physical bodies have borne the brunt of intense energetics.  We've been in an "upgrade" process.  The first part of the prescription is to connect with our physical body and stretch it out, work it out, or conduct whatever level of activity you can.  Yoga and deep breathing are particularly good for this.  Old energy and air lingers and hides in the corners of our bodies.  The first order of business is to clear out the cobwebs.

Consult - Now that we've strengthened our bodies, we want to straighten out our minds by consulting a source of wisdom - something ancient or something that is based on ancient knowledge.  Refer to a source, a book, nature, or a divination tool in search of information that is important to you now.  Mercury is moving direct again and is re-contacting (by opposition) the Galactic Center.  Mercury transited the Galactic Center between June 23 -27, 2014.  Think back to what was going on for you then and how you were feeling.  All of this has been re-worked and re-arranged during Mercury's retrograde.  Messages and information that are needed right now are finding their way to us for consultation.

Choose - Deep in our hearts, each of us knows there is something that is trying to shift or change.  The third part of the prescription involves making a choice to move with the shift, a choice to change.  This is uncomfortable for us.  But the change is for the better.  In some way, acknowledge your choice to shift as needed.  It is an act of power to choose.

Change - I've repeated it like a mantra since the New Moon in Aries in March, but change is the keyword for the year.  This month is one of the four key months of radical change (the lunar months of change are the Moons of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn).  So the final step of the day's prescription is to make a small (or big) change to follow your heart's guidance.  The thing that needs to shift or change within you may be an emotional state.  It may be a belief about yourself.  It may be a relocation.  It's individual to you.  It may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it is important to your growth and development.  Lean toward the change and the rest will flow more easily.

Follow the doctor's orders today and the restructuring of your mind, body, and spirit will proceed fluidly.  Repeat as needed.

Saturday, July 5 - Sunday, July 6, 2014

First Quarter Moon Phase: taking action, stepping out

Moon in Libra (Moon moves into Scorpio Sunday at 3:33 pm ET/ 7:33 pm UT)

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of Death) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: find beauty

Negative Imprint: control issues, frustration, road rage, shocks

Positive Imprint: balance, liberation, nurturance, integration

Mars moves into aspect with the Eris Point energy this weekend.  Mars (Aries) and Eris are twins, the Brother and Sister of the Battlefield.  When these two archetypal energies come into aspect, in this case by astrological opposition, a great deal of power is released.  It's an alchemical explosion that can bring balance and freedom at the highest octave and chaos and domination at the lowest octave.

When these two energies smash together, battle cries are heard.  People naturally tend to voice their opinion in strong ways, especially if there is an injustice or if something has been building just under the surface.  Harsh words can be thrown.  In general, people can become more aggressive and embattled.  Frustration tolerance is lower, particularly for people and situations involving lack of respect and things that are superficial.

The union of these masculine and feminine energies is white hot.  It brings people together in beautiful ways and it severs ties between people in surgical ways.  Situations that have been weakening feel the force of this, causing them to move farther apart.  Situations that have been strengthening become even more closely welded together.

The Moon will empower the Mars-Eris energy.  The Moon will oppose the Eris Point on Saturday at 9:50 pm ET (Sunday at 1:50 am UT).

Mars makes exact opposition with the Eris Point on Sunday at 6:00 am ET/ 10:00 am UT.  You see how these energies are in effect all weekend.  It comes in waves.

Navigating this energy requires insight.  Impulsivity is high, so we want to slow down and think twice before speaking or taking action.  We tend to be hyper-judgmental, so we want to remember that there are usually two sides to anything that develops under Eris energy - the surface appearance of things and what is actually going on.

Because we are prone to wanting to take action or do something right now, if we do not have a direction or outlet or plan for our time this weekend, we can feel quite wayward.  It is not fun to feel compelled to act but not really knowing what to do.  In these cases, the best thing to do is not act.  Sit tight and wait for the Universe to provide guidance.  Don't judge yourself.  It is ok to indulge in "not doing" when you don't know what to do.  "Not doing" opens up space for change and shift to occur.

Change and shift is the name of the game right now.  We have powerful forces in play this weekend to assist us with this and liberate us from what binds us.  In the midst of it all, wise owls "feather their nests" - they take heart in the beauty that surrounds them.

Crescent Moon Phase: expand

Moon in Libra

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (The Goddess of Mirrors) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: remain open and flexible

Negative Imprint: strong-willed to control others, willing others to comply

Positive Imprint: strong willed to self-direct, willing to extend to others

Today's energy stirs great passion.

There is a tremendous amount of energy that can be harnessed today.  Take some time to think about where you are and where you want to be (mentally, physically, emotionally, etc.)  The degree of the position of the Earth today is the energy of "a fire worshipper meditates on the ultimate realities of existence."  It is alchemical energy, able to create magic.  It arouses and stokes an inner fire.  What does your heart truly desire?  The Universe hears and responds to this today.  If the thing that is blocking you is you, there is an abundance of energy to push you out of that.  The energy enables us to self-direct more effectively.

Some people will respond negatively to the passion that is incited today.  Anger, inflexibility, manipulation, aggression, and controlling behavior are manifestations of this.  Issues of dependency, appreciation, and recognition also arise.  These are signs that something needs to change or shift.

An interesting feature of today's energy is the ability to morph space-time.  This means the past and the future are fluid and ripe for re-imprinting.  Changing your view about a perceived loss or failure from the past will change your future.  Can you take hold of the reins of your mind?

The principle of resonance (like attracting like) is also strong today.  We are pulled toward those people, places, things, and ideas that are more akin to our soul's code and the destiny of our lives.  Psychic-type communications are also heightened.

The theme this month is revolutionary liberation.  Today's energy goes a long way toward this.  Though we are aware that we are in the midst of a powerful energetic window of time that could be used for nefarious purposes, we also see the opportunity to harness passion for positive expression.  The Spirit of Liberty reigns strong today, no matter where on Gaia Sophia you are.

In celebration of my favorite thing - freedom - I've posted the story of my initiation with the Mahavidyas on the About page here at www.oraclereport.com.  Scroll down to "Initiation with the Kalis."  Many people have asked me to tell the story of my first encounter with the Wisdom Goddesses.  I am happy to tell it today.

Thursday, July 3, 2014

Crescent Moon Phase: expand

Moon in Virgo

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of Death) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: endeavor to maintain balance in all things

Negative Imprint: lashing out or lashing in from fear, anger, frustration

Positive Imprint: opening up to allow transformation

By the end of the day, some sort of wisdom finds its way to us.  Today's energy teaches us something we need to know.

Two waves of energy, one produced by the Sun opposing Pluto and one produced by Mars opposing the Eris Point, begin to dominate.  These waves tend to make people grumpy, angry, critical, impatient, depressed, reactionary, and sharp-tongued.

But, with a little work, these waves can also help people be balanced, whole, light, open, self-possessed, and free.

This energy is made primarily by oppositions in astrology, so we notice opposites and differences.  We see how opposite or different we are from someone/others/situations or how opposite things are from the way they should be (or the way we want them to be).  Be aware of the tendency for things to be in sharp contrast.  This energy takes things to extremes and can swing back and forth quickly. 

Recall also that all this month, people, places, and things are loosening, breaking, or opening up.   The energy of sharp contrasts enhances this theme.

We navigate all of this acrobatically by being aware of the course.  We see the negative potential, but we understand that underneath all of the presenting issues is the hallmark for change.  We see how, in some way in some part of our lives, we need to shift.  We recognize that we are undergoing a period of transformation, liberation, and re-alignment deeper into the mystic.

Remember, today teaches us something we need to know.

(Note for those readers who follow the Mahavidyas, the Wisdom Goddesses who are aspects of Gaia-Sophia and interface with humanity: Today Dhumavati and Kali are "releasing the Kraken," so to speak.  [The Kraken is a giant squid-like sea creature that derives from Norse mythology.]  The Archons will attempt to use the power that is available from these potent astrological signatures to imprint reality with fear, chaos, and gloom.  Essentially, protection and buffering from these extremes spreads through the collective like the tentacles of the Kraken.  It is a metaphor.)

Crescent Moon Phase: expand

Moon in Virgo

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of Mirrors) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: be open to changes and opportunities

Negative Imprint: exaggerated need for attention, masking, foolishness

Positive Imprint: enjoyment of life, ambition, sense of humor

Today is a day for casting lines.  We cast off from people, places, things, beliefs, habits, thoughts that have run dry.  We cast toward new opportunities, new ways of thinking, and new ways of being.  This is part of the shifting/changing that is underway this month.

We can already see aggression and conflict intensifying as we build toward the July 3 - 6 window of time when Mars contacts the Eris Point (favored degree for insertion of chaos) and the Sun contacts Pluto.  These contacts are happening at 180 degrees apart, when these electromagnetic and archetypal energies reach fullest expression.  These energies combine to make dramatic events, aggressive and even warlike behavior, conflict, and anger turned inward in the form of depression. 

However, they also bring deep and lasting transformation, revelation of truth, energy for repairing or rectifying things, unification of our inner masculine and feminine, and re-acquisition of personal power that has eluded us.

People are responding and reacting to these energies in various ways.  Resistance to change makes it harder to handle.  The way to open to changes is to recognize that they just may, in fact, liberate you from what is causing distress or dissatisfaction in the first place.

Many things are on display today.  They stand out.  We can easily see the brilliance in others.  We see where abundance may lie.  We see where we want to aim.  These are things we want to focus on.  We want to turn away from things from the past that haunt us - especially perceived mistakes.  Along with this, there is a strong push to cover up, mask, or hide what we do not want others to see.

Everything casts us in a new direction today as a shift in consciousness takes place.  Be open to those opportunities.  Be on the lookout for them.  As a reminder, today's photo from wise owl Marie is from Lookout Mountain in Golden, Colorado.

(Note: Click here and scroll down to listen to yesterday's "Galactic Connection" radio show where I was Alexandra Meadors' guest.  We take an in-depth look at what's happening right now and how we can navigate it.)

Crescent Moon Phase: challenge

Moon in Leo/Virgo

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of Smoke) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: tending to things with care and gentleness

Negative Imprint: self-sabotage

Positive Imprint: nurturing self

Everyone hails Mercury returning to normal movement today.  The day a planet returns to direct motion after being retrograde is like a slingshot being released.  Pressured interpersonal communications and frustrating telecommunication issues have been experienced since June 20th.  All of that changes today. 

We remain, however, under heavy and intensive energies until we complete the Full Moon phase of the month.  Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of this week are the peak times, as we have the Sun moving into opposition with Pluto and Mars moving into opposition with the Eris Point.  Pluto and Eris are God and Goddess of the Underworld - the Land of Death and Rebirth.  The Sun and Mars are firing energy into this dynamic, empowering the shift/change that is underway.

This entire year is THE shift and THE change, but this month is one of the four turning points of it.

Today's energy floods into help us overcome something.  Most likely this is something that has chained, bound, or imprisoned you in some way.  If you own psyche has done this to you, Mercury's release will help release you, too.  We can really "do a number" on ourselves when Mercury is retrograde.  Mercury rules our thinking process, and when Mercury is retrograde our thinking can become fouled up.  But we always come out better for this because fine-tuning and deep insight occurs in the process.

Impulsivity is high right now and we are tempted into reckless action by giving up something that we have put a lot of time/energy/hope into.  Don't be tricked by this.  Let things rearrange and reassemble.  Take a break, get some rest, and gain some perspective.  Many things will come back together today to bring things into equilibrium.  Details are worked out.

This month's energy is revolutionary.  It brings liberation.  Though we are like game birds and sometimes a target of predators, we continue to feather our nests.  What does the "feather your nest" part of the Sabian symbol for this month's energy mean to you for your life this month?  Is your nest your psyche?  Is it your physical space - your home?  Is it your idea of home?  Is it your projects and ideas?  Is it a need to rest? It may be several things.  But it is best to figure this out now, at the beginning of the cycle, so that you can do it this month.

(Note: I am Alexandra Meadors' guest today on "Galactic Connection" at 6:00 pm ET/ 10:00 pm UT on BBS Radio.  Full show to be posted here at that time.  This show goes in-depth with what we have in store this month and how to handle it plus much more.  We go into a lot of areas on this show.)

New Moon Phase: beginnings

Moon in Leo

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (The Goddess of Death) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: maintain composure

Negative Imprint: recklessness, disharmony

Positive Imprint: consideration, harmony

Today we remain composed in all things.  Doing so keeps the grid of the collective consciousness firmly in place.  We think before taking action or rushing into anything.  We take the time to prepare for things that are important instead of winging it.  By maintaining our composure, our point is made, our voice is heard, our destiny is aligned. 

When we are composed, we generate a strong force.

In general, people are responding from fear and from instinct with today's conjunction of the Moon and the Black Moon.  If you missed yesterday's report, you can read more about this conjunction in the Archives at www.oraclereport.com.  Since people will be lashing out, we know to keep our shields of protection in place and will consider matters before responding, even if we only have a moment. 

Mercury will station direct tomorrow and will unlock all of the energy that has been building up and pressure-releasing since June 7,  Recall that communications of all types (personal, electronic, professional, etc.) have been under the influence of energy that is like a cat arguing with a mouse.  As we build to this, the cat or the mouse is likely to take action.  The proper action is to just turn and walk away from it.  Leave it behind.

Additionally, a process of winnowing is underway, which is one of the Wisdom Goddess Dhumavati's specialties.  She winnows through things, separating them.  What does not belong together moves apart.  Vibrationally, situations and circumstances (including relationships) that are no longer in harmony are being drawn apart.  Situations and circumstances (including relationships) that are in harmony are coming together.  This is part of the great shift that is happening this month.  Some things have to change.  Trust in the process.  Let Dhumavati rearrange things for you so that you are in better alignment with what is in your soul's highest and best interests.

(Note: Be aware that at the highest view of what is going on right now, we are holding a field of consciousness that is now stronger than the one created and perpetuated for centuries by the new world order/Archons.  The field of consciousness aligned with natural world order is under heavy attack through the Full Moon phase of this lunar month.  By focusing on the "Positive Imprint" listed above, you are actively participating in the maintenance of the field of consciousness (the grid) that indigenous people have held while the Archons have dominated.  Endeavoring to harmonize and radiate the positive imprint each day is the most important thing that we do no matter what transpires in our individual lives.)

New Moon Phase: beginnings

Moon in Leo

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of the Mirror) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: open up

Negative Imprint: action that aims toward disharmony

Positive Imprint:  action that aims toward harmony

Harmony is the keyword for today's energy.  We are able to "tune in" for clarity and insight about our lives and the new directions the shift in energy is opening.  

What's actually happening is that we are harmonizing with the upgrade to our energy systems.  A new symphony is being played, changing us.  It's music to our souls and it is layering structural reinforcement to the grid of collective consciousness that sweet souls have been constructing for many years, but particularly since Harmonic Convergence in 1987.

There are things that can block out the symphony.  If we can't hear it, we can't harmonize with it.  The main block to this today is the Moon's movement through the sign of Leo and on approach to conjunction with the Black Moon tomorrow (Monday, June 30 at 7:18 am ET/ 11:18 am UT).

When the Moon moves into the sign in which the Black Moon is traveling, we have "shadow days."  This means that everyone's shadow side is triggered in some way and is tempted to show out or cause trouble for us.  Our shadow sides are the things we don't want to see or own about ourselves and our core fear in life.  Mirrors are shown to us.  We see how we deal with the illusion of being separated from our Source.  We are, of course, never separated.

"Shadow days" also bring the gift of rebirth or revitalization of something.

Since the Moon and the Black Moon are in Leo, the sign ruled by the Sun, the power of vitalization is strong.  The Sun enables life.

But the Black Moon in Leo involves the fear of change and the fear of the order, status, position, or nature of things changing.  Rebirth and revitalization are at odds with this. Change is the name of the game throughout the remainder of this astrological year (through March 2015), so fears of change can cause major problems.  Leos and Aquarians and those with the Black Moon in Leo or Aquarius are the main focus of the energy.

Special assistance with this dilemma is provided this month courtesy of the Mahavidyas, the Wisdom Goddesses, Dhumavati and Kali.  Dhumavati is the Goddess of Death, Smoke, and Mirrors, among other things.  Kali is the Primary Mahavidya from whom the other nine arise and she brings all things.  She is the destroyer of the old and creator of the new.  They are helping to liberate us this month.

The goddesses assist us with change and transformation this month, enabling us to fully benefit from the energetic upgrade that this lunar month offers.

Anything that is limiting you or targeting you for negativity can be dissolved in Dhumavati's smoke.

Anything from the past that needs to be removed can be churned in Kali's destructive wheel of time.

Tune in to your inner voice today to see what you need to do to harmonize with this symphonic wave that shifts the game this month.  Open up.  Cultivate an innocent curiosity.

New Moon Phase: beginnings

Moon in Cancer

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of Smoke) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: uncomplicate things, aim for simplicity

Negative Imprint: disguise; stagnation

Positive Imprint: sincerity; progress

Instincts, impulses, and desires reach heightened proportions today as the New Moon phase continues.

But we want to be smart about this because Mercury remains retrograde with the energy of "a cat arguing with a mouse."  Many things, especially our thoughts about ourselves, are locked in a loop - a circuit - of self-defeat and negativity.  The energy is deeply imprinted with the tendency to look at things and feel deeply unsatisfied.

The feeling of dissatisfaction is one of the things from which this month's energy tries to liberate us.

Inherent also in today's energetic signature is the polarity of disguise versus sincerity.  In other words hiding/faking or being real. 

When walls come down, we see what's real.  We see who or what is trying to push forward, advancing, or pretending to be more than they are.  We also see the beauty and value of simplicity.  We see what truly matters in life.

Aiming for simplicity takes us out of the space-time pace that is too busy to see simplicity, and therefore draws us off course.

Along this line, it is very important to integrate fun today.  We are coming upon a very intense astrological window of time (July 1 - July 12) so we want to really work on grounding ourselves in nature and getting in good alignment now.  Spend some time doing something that you enjoy.  Recapture something that was fun for you as a child (or something that you wanted to do but couldn't).  Return to something you love.

I will post a separate report tomorrow, as the Moon will move into Leo, joining the Black Moon for a couple of days, and putting new energetic elements in play.

Instincts and impulses are strong today, but remember to slow down, uncomplicate matters, aim for simplicity, and keep it real.  Though it may appear that we are putting less energy into things, in reality, tremendous progress will be made.

New Moon Phase: beginnings

Moon in Cancer

Ruling Mahavidya: Dhumavati (Goddess of Death) and Kali (The Destroyer)

Skill: pivot with the changes

Negative Imprint: hopelessness about the future; fearful; dependent

Positive Imprint: sunniness about the future; loving; independent

A month-long Revolution of Consciousness begins with the New Moon in Cancer today.  The Sabian symbol for this month-long energy is "game birds feathering their nests."  This energy lays and fortifies groundwork and structures.  Old groundwork and structures that are loose and crumbling will further degrade.  So this means the things (people, places, things, relationships) that have been breaking up or breaking apart for some time reach their limits.  This brings liberation.

We have a month of revolution to bring liberation.

This will play out in a lot of different ways in the world at large and our own personal worlds.  The pain, ties, restrictions, and limits that have bound us (and no longer serve even to teach us) are freed.  No matter what happens this month or how it looks at the moment, liberation is what is really happening.  We will remember this.

The next cycle is like a month-long First Quarter Moon phase - the time to step out and take action.  Mercury is retrograde until July 1, so don't jump the gun.  The month of August, the Leo cycle, is also a First Quarter cycle, so we have two months to step out and take action.  This energy lunges us forward or in a new direction, but we want to temper this until Mercury stations direct.  Mercury is still re-arranging things.

The shift out of the struggles and challenges that took place in June (the Crescent cycle) brings a remarkable change in the energy.  We are more than ready to grab hold of this, aren't we?  This is the time in the cycle of life that is like the seed that has traveled through the earth and is now popping through the surface to air and light.  This is most welcome and joyful.

Not exactly to my surprise, Kali, the Mahavidya from whom the nine other Mahavidyas spring, joins Dhumavati this month.  She did this with Chinnamasta, the Mahavidya who was on duty during the Aries lunar cycle.  The Aries cycle was also a "cardinal" cycle, like the one beginning today.  The cardinal signs are Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.  Cardinal energy is pivotal.  It pivots us in a new direction.   The cardinal signs are the cardinal points north, south, east, and west.  Big shifts have been happening during cycles that are cardinal cycles, so the opportunity to mold reality is excellent.  Raw power is also in abundance right now with the particular combination of planets and the energetic degrees they are emanating.  The Archons salivate at this opportunity.

During the Aries cycle (basically the month of April 2014), Kali and Chinnamasta, both fierce warriors, took the brunt of the Archontic assault on humanity.  The New Moon in Aries was the beginning of an assault of great proportion.  It is the counter-action to the fact that Gaia Sophia is completely awake and fully engaged with humanity.  Forces opposed to humanity do not want this and are trying to thwart it.

Kali and Dhumavati, aspects of Gaia Sophia, are another formidable combination, and will do the same thing over the next month that Kali and Chinnamasta did in April.  They disempowered the efforts of the new world order and their Archon masters.  As I detailed in the "Shift in the Game" audio recording (available on the front page of www.oraclereport.com and on the Audio page), the Eris Point energy is activated this month, providing a chance at these negative forces' favorite pastime - trying to enslave. 

Kali and Dhumavati are right on the field with us, allied.  With those two in our ranks, well, we look around and smile and they wink back.  Higher forces have our backs.

I will record more about Kali and Dhumavati's alliance with humanity in a follow-up to "Shift in the Game." 

(P.S. Dhumavati brings crow medicine.  Be on the lookout.)

Balsamic Moon Phase: release

Moon in Gemini/Cancer

Ruling Mahavidya: Bagalamukhi

Skill: stand at the crossroad and receive information

On the eve of the New Moon in Cancer, we reflect back on the past month and release any thoughts, feelings, and beliefs that we do not want to carry with us into the next cycle.  Strong healing energies flood the collective to assist us with this today. 

If you divide the year up into eight equal parts that represent the eight moon phases, the past month has been like a long Crescent Moon phase.  Crescent energy is the toughest.  It challenges us.  It can feel like a struggle against the tide.  It is easy to give up our hopes, wishes, intentions, and projects.  The Universe asks us if we are serious about what we envision. 

The struggle to stay the course produces growth.  This past month has not been easy.  A particularly intense Mercury retrograde, which requires us to work harder at most everything, has helped us see what is not working and what needs to change.

Energetically we are at a crossroad.  Tomorrow's New Moon brings a great shift, as we change directions with many things in our lives.

It's a good idea to hit the pause button today.  Slow down and go into "receive" mode.  The veils between the worlds are thinnest on the last day before a New Moon.  Guidance, insight, answers, information, and messages abound.  To pick this up, we have to be of a certain mindset of openness.  The outer world continues to swirl with the energetics of Mars opposing Uranus, but today we stop. 

We stand at the crossroad, awaiting the shift, grateful for the coming release of the Crescent energy.  The Wisdom Goddess Bagalamukhi waits with us on the last day of her journey with us.  She has been a welcome companion this month.  Let's bid her a fond farewell as she turns over duty to her sister Dhumavati tomorrow.

Balsamic Moon Phase: transform

Moon in Gemini

Ruling Mahavidya:  Bagalamukhi

Skill: make a change

Negative Imprint: entitlement, conflict, aggression, fear, argument, throwing people "under the bus," domination, intimidation, elitism, impulsivity

Positive Imprint: respect, collaboration, true strength, defense of natural world order, confidence, inner authority, perseverance, creation of beautiful forms and structures, ancient traditions

Energies come together today to help us (finally?) see that it's time to make a change and that forces are in play to facilitate those changes.  Personal changes ripple into changes within the collective.  We change and the world changes.  We answer a call to shift and transform and are rewarded with liberation from what binds us.  Change is one of the things that frees us from limitations.

Since we are a species working past it's trauma, the word change can makes us cramp up and resist out of fear of impending pain.  But it doesn't have to be this way anymore.  We are grounded with the planet, the divine Gaia Sophia, growing up and out of our problems.

We are seeds that have been planted, have popped out of their shells, have rooted themselves, have grown through the soil, and are now preparing to break through the surface.  Light and air are on the way.  This is the cycle of life.  Life is change.

Since we are in a time of great change - an energetic Renaissance of humanity- the energies are intense.  The list of historical negative imprints for the day is long, but so is the list of positive imprints that we can make.  We can change it.

We are at a major junction - a crossroad - and most everyone can feel it.  Conditions are ripe for transformation and liberation.  It may not look pretty, but, it is.  Don't be fooled by the appearance that things are falling into an oblivion in which nothing will survive.  That's what the Archons - the Terminators - want us to think.  They are crashing and cracking things because they are having a tantrum.  The jig is up and they are panicking.  They know they have to pull out the stops because the Spirit of Wisdom has returned and she is engaging with all of humanity.

Our role is to arouse ourselves to personal change so that the macro-changes are not so jarring.  Each of us is being divinely guided if we choose to see and hear on the inside and watch and listen outside (as in outdoors and in nature).  Turn away from the tricks of the matrix and turn to the wisdom that is offered by engaging with the planet.  Nature teaches us everything we need to know.

It's a little early to start celebrating Independence Day (or maybe Re-Independence Day and you don't have to be American to enjoy the spirit), but truly that is what is happening energetically.  The matrix shows a different version.  Fireworks will certainly ensue with the volatility of things, but see into it and beyond it.  We can handle anything that comes our way.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release

Moon in Gemini

Ruling Mahavidya: Bagalamukhi (The Paralyzer, The Storm-Calmer)

Skill: be like the wise old owl in the tree

Negative Imprint: conflict, aggression, pushiness

Positive Imprint: cooperation, personal discovery

The intense energy being distributed by Mars moving into opposition with Uranus continues today.  As discussed, things are cracking up, loosening up, and breaking apart.  Yesterday's 7.9 magnitude earthquake off Alaska evidences this.  Uranus is a powerful force.

Uranus moved into Aries, the sign in which it is currently transiting, on March 11, 2011, when the massive 9.1 earthquake was recorded in Japan.

If the energy can do this to the planet, imagine what it is doing to us!

Uranus is not only a powerful force, but it is a force for change.  It brings sudden, unexpected, dramatic changes.  It is like lightning.  Mars' influence adds impulsive, fiery, and aggressive elements.

But the Sun also plays in today as it moves to the 4th degree of Cancer - the energy of "a cat arguing with a mouse" (the degree of Mercury's retrograde).

With this energy, we expect the unexpected, but the combination of these energies tells us that we have a highly emotional (even volatile) day today with increased difficulty in interpersonal and telecommunications, arguments and misunderstandings, projection of anger and aggression (or turning it on yourself), and things coming from out of the blue.  We can also expect things to break apart (and even come back together in a new way).

Just like the Earth's crust, people's psyches crack under these energies.

According to the ancient Gnostics, humanity was never intended to develop in a system with as many planets as ours.  The Gnostics tell us the Divine Beings in the Galactic Center who "coalesced" our genome, Sophia and her male counterpart Thelete, intended us to develop under a Sun, Moon, planet system.  The Archons, nemeses of humanity, created the other planets in their mistaken belief that they are gods.  Nevertheless, we become multi-faceted under the barrage of energies from a multitude of planets.  We become brilliant.

Though everyone is experiencing this, if you have a planet located at 13-19 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, you are undergoing extreme "faceting."  The energy is "upgrading" all of us, but some are destined for massive transformation at this point in time.

To navigate the energy, we will invoke the shamanic skill of being like a wise old owl in a tree, peering out and observing what is happening, but out of the maelstrom.  We understand the nature of the energy in which we are bathed and adjust accordingly.

If you are prompted to make a change or if Uranus is making a change for you, trust that this is in Divine Order.  At it's highest octave, Uranus puts us where we need to be (emotionally, mentally, physically) when we haven't been able to do it for ourselves.  My teacher always said, "We are saved by our rejections."

Emotions lead us to inner wisdom today.  Follow along, but remember that a sage accompanies us - the Wisdom Goddess Bagalamukhi.  On these final days of our journey and instruction with her this year, call upon her for assistance if things become overwhelming.  She will steer you back on course.

(Note: The exact opposition of Mars and Uranus occurs tomorrow, Wednesday, June 25 at 4:25 am ET/ 8:25 UT.)

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, transform

Moon in Taurus

Ruling Mahavidya: Bagalamukhi (The Storm Calmer)

Skill: flow with change

Negative Imprint: projecting anger outward or inward

Positive Imprint: clarity and objectivity

We may need to call upon Bagalamukhi the Storm Calmer over the next few days.  Mars is opposing Uranus, making exact conjunction Wednesday, June 25 at 4:25 am ET.  Until then, bombs drop, anger rises, surprises shock, accidents happen, lightning strikes, and change ensues.  This is a massive transit that should not be underestimated.

As discussed in the latest audio recording about the upcoming lunar cycle, titled "Shift in the Game," Uranus has moved to the 17th degree of Aries with the energy for things to break, crack, loosen, and split - especially minds.  You can only be but so prepared with Uranus because the energy always comes in unexpected ways, but everyone should understand the nature of this energy to break, loosen, and crack.  If you have not listened to my latest audio (available on the front page of www.oraclereport.com) it is probably the most important recording I have made.  The shift in the game over the next month will be dramatic.

Uranus puts things as they should be, but the influence of Mars exacerbates the manner in which the changes happen.  Changes don't "unfold" with this combination; they are abrupt.  The energy takes on an aggressive flair, with strong projection of anger onto others (which causes schisms in interpersonal relationships and the collective) and strong introjection of anger onto ourselves (which causes self-loathing and depression).  The "incidence of incidences" increases sharply.  Take extra precautions while driving.  Note also that anxiety and insomnia increase under this transit and will dissipate after it is over.

The energy also brings a level of objectivity that is uncommon.  We see things crystal-clearly.  This serves to position us differently as the New Moon approaches on June 27th.

The Balsamic Moon phase is the time between the last lunar cycle and the next.  It is the time when we "weed out" our psyches.  We "pull out" or release what we do not want to carry into the next cycle.  It's the time when the veils between the worlds are thin and magic is thick.  Messages from Spirit abound.  We enter into discourse with the Divine.  We are guided.

As this energy builds, take refuge from the storm with the Wisdom Goddess Bagalamukhi.  She calms.
