Crescent Moon Phase: challenge

Moon in Gemini

Goddess of Wisdom: Chinnamasta (Goddess Who Expands the Mind), Kali (Goddess of Beginnings)

God of Will: Ian (God of the East, King of Battle)

Skill: persevere, nurture your hopes, wishes, and dreams for the future

Positive Imprints: basic values, progress though practice, harmonics and harmony, expressions of self in the physical world, rewards, self-approval, expansion, inspirational messages, cooperation, regaining sight or focus

Catalysts for Change: control dynamics, manipulation, taking advantage of or not appreciating generosity, quitting, not taking personal responsibility, requiring approval from another, not making an effort, impractical, aggression, anger, blaming the messenger, struggle

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "the music of the spheres"

The Sun was quite active yesterday, sending multiple flares and one coronal mass ejection.  The CME was from the EAST side of the Sun and occurred at 6:40 am ET/10:40 am UT, when the Moon was located at the Sabian symbol of "an old-fashioned well."  Support, supply, depth, and faith was disseminated by Sun with the CME.

A key point of this is the "depth" energy, which prompts a reminder that our thoughts have more power than we have ever experienced.  Thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are being deeply imprinted (seeded) into a newly-refreshed (ploughed) field of consciousness.  With this comes great responsibility.  We are more responsible for ourselves than we ever have been. 

No pressure, right?

Well, pressure is exactly what is being applied as things that have been out of balance try to come into balance, now that a (massive) re-set has occurred with April 18's New Moon.  It's like re-tuning an instrument but on a cosmic scale.  Things are coming back to their true, basic sound and form.

It is also fair to say that this means things are more "pure" or even "raw."

The pure, raw energetics that are the stuff from which magic can be made today come courtesy of a conjunction of Mercury and Mars at the degree of "a symbolic battle between swords and torches."  Pure power to connect with (and therefore "imprint" into the energy) the power of LOVE and LIGHT is infinite.

The "battle" to do this is only within ourselves, but it may not feel this way today as the Chiron energetics of cutting, wounding, healing, and teaching are building toward apex tomorrow.  The Sabian symbol for Chiron is "the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow."  We've already bridged the rainbow (into the new era, the Second Renaissance) and are now at the pot of gold part, so there is no need to continue any suffering.  Our minds are gold mines, and we want to plant a rich field for the future.

Also, we are now in the Crescent Moon phase, which is the time of the lunar month that challenges us to not give up on our ideas, ideals, and intentions (hopes, wishes, and dreams) for the future.  Our minds are gold mines, and we want to care for this rich field of the future.

If the gravity of situations - pressure - starts to overtake you, switch back to taking responsibility for your thoughts by remembering that you are putting this into the field.  Your natural instincts (and sense of mission) to not want to hurt the field will begin to over-ride and pull you back up.  This is a skill that may take us some time to wield masterfully, so be gentle with yourself if your emotions (particularly feelings of rejection, failure, vulnerability, and inability) have a hold.  Music will help the switch.  I particularly like The O'Jays "Love Train" as medicine for this type of malady.  It is old-fashioned, but it can help us be well.

Today we may have to earn it, but we stand up with our brothers and sisters around the world to enrich the field.  Let's call it a glorious day - a pure, true Earth Day.

New Moon Phase: beginnings, set intentions

Moon in Gemini

Goddess of Wisdom: Chinnamasta (Goddess Who Expands the Mind)

God of Will: Ian (God of the East, King of Battle)

Skill: keep a cool head

Positive Imprints: staging or building a structure or idea, mind-blowing, demanding one's rights, well-grounded, surges of energy, endurance, understanding something, standing up for something, bringing forth memories of things from the past that are lasting and valuable, emergence

Catalysts for Change: growing intensity to the point of shocking release, feeling out of control, taking over, anxiety, demanding one's way, projecting blame onto others, inflated egos, ungrounded and overloaded, disconnected, interfering in other's business or stirring up things, dramatic reactions, anger, minimizing self or others

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "the music of the spheres"

Situations and emotions are "highly charged" today with the Sun moving to the degree of the Sabian symbol "an electrical storm."

In combination with the Black Moon yesterday beginning to discharge the energy of the Sabian symbol of "a volcanic eruption" through April 28, things have potential to become volatile and spill out.  An upset to the way things used to be (in our world and in our lives) is activating our instincts.  In turn, new approaches to things are revealed.  Are you seeing things in a new way?

As the Second Renaissance unfolds, so does a restoration of balance.  To re-balance things, we need to strive, and striving means effort.  But striving does not mean struggling, though it often feels that way.  This is a key concept to keep in mind because the Sun is coming to the place in the sky where the planet Chiron, the archetypal energy of the Wounded Healer and Teacher, was discovered.  A distortion of the Chiron energy is suffering and self-sabotage.  Chiron is the energetic signature of the Master Teacher, so it reveals wisdom about suffering and self-sabotage - wisdom which heals us.  The Sun will fully activate the Chiron energetic on Thursday.  It should be noted that Chiron is the energy that engineers bridges and is the energy that bridged us into the Second Renaissance.  If the ancient Greeks had the term, the mythological god Chiron would have been called a Renaissance Man.  The "inner Chiron" in all of us is activating, so we will strive for healing and learning, not suffering and failing.

New approaches, new needs, new paths, new discoveries, new everything is happening now.  From deep within us, things are reaching forth, seeking light.  With "electrical storms" come flashes of light - inspiration!  These come in radical packets today, so we want to maintain good grounding and not blow circuits.  A good use of this energy is to clean or clear.  Space will open up and energy will flow more efficiently (more happily). 

Today, connect with the stroke of lightning - the stroke of genius - that is the manifestation of your spirit on Earth.  Reach forth.  Strive.  Bring balance.

Caption for today's photograph from wise owl Jessica yesterday:

"As we are in a new epoch of humanity...I took this today of my daughter and her friends (some established, some brand new as of today) at a home school program run by the county park.  To my eye, it speaks volumes about how people can be if treated properly." 

Wise words indeed, Jessica.

New Moon Phase: beginnings, setting intentions

Moon in Taurus/Gemini (7:30 pm ET/11:30 pm UT)

Goddess of Wisdom: Chinnamasta (Goddess Who Expands the Mind)

God of Will: Ian (God of the East, King of Battle)

Skill: gain clarity

Positive Imprints: inner knowing, vitality, bursts of creativity, spiritual guidance, focus, new ideas, powers of observation, taking the road less traveled

Catalysts for Change:  sensory overload, difficulty focusing, naive, temper tantrums, clinging to the past, emotional outbursts, resisting growth, burdened, feeling spacey, fear of the unknown

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: "the music of the spheres"

As hoped, the Sun sent a coronal mass ejection from a long-duration solar filament that erupted just four hours before the New Moon on Saturday.  I have not been able to locate data on the exact duration or time of onset, but the peak occurred at 10:19 am ET/2:19 pm UT.

At that time, the Moon was located at 26 Aries and the energy of the Sabian symbol "a man possessed of more gifts than he can hold."  Could it get any better?  While the field was being swept of the old, more abundance, more ideas, more potential, and more wisdom than we can understand at once flooded in.  These are the new imprints into the energy, and they will unwind in time as we grow into our understanding of them.

Would you agree that when people are given possession of more gifts than they can hold, renaissance unfolds?

The rebirth continues today, with a little help from the Black Moon, which will move to the 17th degree of Virgo today at 4:45 pm ET/8:45 pm UT.  The Sabian symbol for this degree is "a volcanic eruption."  While this energy brings release of emotions or things that have built up, it also refers to an eruption of ideas.  If you have been holding something back (or if something seems to have been held back), we are in brand new energy for that to come forward.  And it can come forward in the manner of your choosing.  We've been holding back for a while waiting for new energy.  The Black Moon will remain at this degree until April 28 (the First Quarter Moon phase), so we have a window of time to bring forth anything that has been suppressed.  If you experience an eruption or the eruption of another, observe and consider the message.

The Sun at the degree of "a clear mountain stream" today also reinforces the revitalization.  A flowing current from Spirit comes down.  This energy is about having a direction, course, or aim.  The steam's path may wind all over the place  today or it may be a fairly straight shot, but the refreshment occurs regardless.  We are following a course toward clarity and refreshment today.

Also, today Venus disseminates the degree of "newly opened lands offer the pioneer new opportunities for experience."  This is added energy for refreshing the field and taking a direction.  There is a great deal of guidance in effect today.

I perceived the beginning of the Second Renaissance as a subtle shift, but we will see how subtle or overt the energetics are today with these themes.  As we begin to open more "gifts" (wisdom)  than we could ever imagine, aim for clarity and the way will be shown.

I think we are off to beautiful start, wise owls.

(Note on the 4/20 craze:  The old world order instigated a campaign to connect/co-opt the plant teacher marijuana to the date 4/20, which is Hitler's birthday.  It's an outworn imprint; see it for what it is.  We are about imprinting the new now, so if it is your pattern to partake in this, do it at 4:19 or 4:21 or any other time, but not 4:20.)

Saturday, April 18, 2015 - The Second Renaissance

New Moon Phase (2:56 pm ET/6:56 pm UT): set intentions/plant seeds (hopes, wishes, and dreams)

Goddess of Wisdom: Chinnamasta (Goddess Who Expands the Mind)

God of Will: Ian Achoneses (God of the East, The King of the Battlefield)

Skill: insert your intentions for your future and for the future of the world

Positive Imprints: resetting

Catalysts for Change: resetting

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month and New Year: "the music of the spheres"

Happy New Epoch!

A resetting or recalibration of the fields of consciousness occurs with the New Moon in Aries Saturday at 2:56 pm ET/6:56 pm UT.  In the natural cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Earth and the cycles of astrology, the new year begins each year when the Sun and Moon meet in the zodiacal sign of Aries.  This year is quite different, though, because it doesn't just usher in a new year, it signals the beginning of a new epoch.

The Sabian symbol or energetic code for the degree of this historic event is 29 Aries and "the music of the spheres."  The spheres are the planets, but we are also spheres.  Let's see what will be "playing" this year:

• Sun and Moon: the music of the spheres
• Earth: humanity's vast enduring effort to reach forth knowledge transferable from generation to generation
• Mercury: a Christmas tree decorated
• Venus: a quiver filled with arrows
• Mars: on the beach, children play while shellfish grope at the edge of the water
• Black Moon: children crowd around an orangutan cage in the zoo
• Jupiter: an old sea captain rocking on the porch of his cottage 
• Saturn: two men playing chess
• Uranus: an empty hammock
• Pluto: in a hospital, the children's ward is filled with toys
• Chiron: a table set for an evening meal
• Neptune: an aviator in the clouds
• North Node: three old masters hanging in a special room of an art gallery
• South Node: a crystal gazer

I will discuss how I see these energies manifesting starting this month and how they play into not only the next year, but the future.  For now, these images can swirl around the source field and return something back to you in the form of wisdom.

The recalibration of the music of the spheres brings a return to balance.  Old beliefs, feelings, and systems based on outworn or power/control dynamics will be disempowered with one fell swoop at the time of the New Moon.  It will not be apparent overnight.  But progressively we will see that new systems, feelings, and beliefs (a return to what is good, balanced, natural, and sane) are not only supported, but rising.

I can think of no better thing to celebrate.  Celebrate with music, people, nature, animals, insects, elements - anything you want.  But mark this in time and space.  Remember where you were and what you were doing when the new world rose.  Give celebration in your own way, knowing you are joining other wise owls around the world.

Here's a final thought: Is the "music of the spheres" different because we are shifting into a new sphere, a new dimension?  Perhaps it isn't the music of the spheres that is changing so much.  Maybe it is us that has changed and now we've come to a new level.

(Project for any interested wise owls:  The music of the spheres is evolving the Sabian symbols as well.  If you would like to join in tracking how this is, you can  copy the Sabian Symbol List of all 360 Sabian symbols now on the LEARN page.  Make a "journal" or data file (or whatever strikes your fancy) with a page for each symbol.  You would need a notebook or journal with at least 180 pages if you use the back sides.  The first page is 1 Aries and the last page is 30 Pisces.  Each day as the Sun moves you can make note of signs, synchronicities, or messages and any symbolism that you encountered.  You can start anytime, but if you start today, start at 29 Aries - the degree of the New Moon and the Sabian symbol of the music of the spheres.  This is a longer-term project that will help us discern the changes in the energies of the degrees, but it will be highly valuable.  Many thanks to behind-the-scenes-wise owl Anna for compiling the list.  Let's see what this symphony has to teach us.)

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Aries

Wisdom Goddess: all

Skill: stand aside and let the energy sweep away the old and outworn; prepare to seed your intentions tomorrow for the new year

Positive Imprints: going with the flow, acceptance, recognition of patterns, beacons of light, assistance from spiritual sources, standing up or owning up, unity, striking a chord, purge of the past, new paths, appreciation of someone's help, darkness abating

Catalysts for Change: blaming others, being too hard on self, feeling unproductive, scattered, ungrounded, lashing out at someone who is trying to help, taking on other's issues thus taking away their personal journey, unappreciated, divide and conquer tactics

Today is an historic day, perched as we are at the edge between an old world and a new one.

While I wish I could wax poetic this "new year's eve" on how the sweeping of the field of consciousness today ushers a new age that begins tomorrow, I endeavor to always keep it real. The truth is, today carries a combination of some of the most emotionally-challenging energetics possible.  The Sabian symbols in effect today include:

• a large disappointed audience
• a man in deep gloom; unnoticed, angels come to his aid
• aroused strikers round a factory
• a widow at an open grave
• a porter carrying heavy baggage

So the wisdom today is to recognize that a re-setting of the field is happening, and with it may come emotional catharsis, depression, anger, feelings of loss, a desire to be released from burdens, shattered illusions, and hopelessness.  You may experience this to some degree or a loved one may be experiencing it.  It's ok.  It's just an experience of shedding the old.  Don't become attached to it.  If you catch a strong, "negative" emotion, feel through it and let it pass.  It will, but it is coming up for a reason, so don't judge it.  Allow it to go.

Pluto stations retrograde (appears to move backward in the sky) today and is going to take out a lot of things as it does.  It is taking out the past so that transformation can emerge.  But, as long-time readers know, the day a planet stations retrograde or direct always makes craziness.  The best-laid plans tend to be up-ended and all sorts of chaos is unleashed when planets "change direction." 

We can choose to view all of this as a "deep clean" and let the sweeping energy complete its mission.  The only objective today is to let go of the past and embrace the future.  We honor the process that is underway, give thanks, and prepare for the New Moon.

It is for this reason - the old sweeping out for the new - that I will record the audio overview of the lunar month after the sweep.  We need to deal with what is at hand and come back under better energetics.

The New Moon occurs at 2:56 pm ET/6:56 pm UT tomorrow.  Since the Sabian symbol for the New Moon is "the music of the spheres," let's all play music (actually play it yourself if you are a musician or play recorded versions if you are not) and celebrate the beginning of an age.  Seed your intentions- your ideals of greatness, the things we have focused on all month -  for the new year.  Connect with the planet and perform your own ceremony of thanks, knowing you are doing it with a fellowship around the world.

Calling all owls..

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Pisces/Aries (5:00 pm ET/9:00 pm UT)

Wisdom Goddess:

Skill: open to opportunity

Positive Imprints: calmly transcending, revitalization, imagination, inner wisdom, renewed hope, support, courage of convictions, connections, objectivity, restoration of belief/faith

Catalysts for Change: stubbornness, jealousy, temptation, shadows clouded over visions and dreams, judgmental, mistrust, superficiality, insecurity, pessimism

If you knew you were walking through the ages, what would you do?

(Stop to create a picture of this in your mind's eye.  You are walking through the ages.  What does it look like?)

Would you memorize or in some way capture or document what it was like?  Would you want to preserve something of it?  Would you want to communicate or express the scene/experience?

Would you think it was a glorious day?

.Air returns to give us a breather from yesterday's intensive energetics and before the deluge of energetics that will occur tomorrow.  Today brings penetrating, piercing personal empowerment that comes from the clarity of, in essence, being in the eye of a storm and safely transported through.  If we are able to slow down and go within with conscious perspective of what's happening, a sublime experience awaits us today.

New opportunities open and lost opportunities return.  Elements of certain things are coming together or back on board before the re-tuning of the "music of the spheres" on Saturday.

Mercury reaches the degree in the sky where the planet Chiron was discovered (the Chiron Point) today.  This energetic links heaven and Earth.  Chiron is the energy of rainbow (light) bridges.  Chiron and Mercury will deliver key insights and messages to heal and solve and to link heaven and Earth.

Tapping deeply into things is part of today's energetic signature.  This may involve going into the past (or even your ancestry) to understand something.

It's important to make the most of this beautiful day.  Slow down.  Don't miss it.  Marvel at it.  Document it.  History is in action.

Balsamic Moon Phase: release, dream

Moon in Pisces

Wisdom Goddess: Kali (Goddess of Space and Time), Tara (Goddess Who Guides), Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills), Matangi, (Goddess Who Clears), Dhumavati (Goddess Who Sorts)

Skill: hold the line and enjoy the ride

Positive Imprints: bringing calm, integrating desire into plans, waiting things out with patience and grace, responsive, determination and perseverance, flexibility, flashes of inspiration that may be hard to handle all at once, untapped potential

Catalysts for Change: tempers, difficulty focusing, taking big risks (not recommended today, wait until tomorrow to decide), forceful, uncontained, out of reach, feeling out in the cold, arguments (not necessarily a bad things, but remain respectful)

The times are so epic that they warrant three pictures with the report today.

Yesterday, a huge solar prominence erupted on the Sun and produced a coronal mass ejection.  The first photo above is from NASA (Solar Dynamics Observatory).  The second photo was taken by an amateur astronomer who witnessed the eruption.  The third photo was taken by an Oracle Report reader and is a representation of the Sabian symbol energetic associated with the burst: an ancient pottery bowl filled with fresh violets.

At this writing, few details about the CME are available.  The time stamp on second photo is 15:09 UT (11:09 am ET/3:09 pm UT), which puts the energetic of 26 Aquarius 56 (27 Aquarius) and the "ancient pottery bowl filled with fresh violets" in play based on the position of the Moon.  But 28 Aquarius ("a tree felled and sawed to ensure a supply of wood for the winter") could also have been activated.  We will have to wait to see if more data emerges.

Effectively, the two photos of the Sun are visual representations of the energetic that is sweeping away and disempowering the old and outworn as we approach the New Moon on Saturday.  The New Moon in Aries of April 18, 2015 is a recalibration of all things back toward balance and refreshment.  It's the return of wisdom.

Today, electricity is in the air.  We have mercurial minds that want to spark things.  This can produce tension; tense interactions could be triggered.  The Moon moves into opposition with the Black Moon today, bringing potential for people to throw their own feelings onto others in an ugly way (projection).  The exact opposition occurs around 5:30 pm ET/9:30 pm UT.  Be aware of these potentials and endeavor to bring some calm to situations. 

Things may feel like they are "in stasis" with a deep yearning involved, but this is happening so that something can be illuminated for us.  A flash of lightning pauses the scene with brilliant light and gives us a chance to see.

Abundant potentials are in the air, which may translate into emotional overwhelm and confusion.  If you are finding the energetics difficult to cope with, remember that this is a time of flux and transition.  Practice the skill of being like an owl in a tree, observing the world as it goes by. This focus is "grounding" in that it centers us and allows us to step out of perceived chaos.

Although this is a new, refreshing energetic that is sweeping the field of consciousness of the outworn past, it is actually quite ancient.  The "music of the spheres," the Sabian symbol for the New Moon in Aries, is the return of ancient knowledge - knowledge of the convergence of science and spirit.  Nothing less than a re-enchantment of the world is taking place.

Don't forget to stop and smell the violets while it's happening.

(Note:  I am happy to announce that the Oracle Report will remain donation-based and not switched to subscription on April 18.  With your support, we can keep the parliament of wise owls strong.  If you were planning on subscribing, you can still make a donation.  I will periodically put up a reminder, as well.  Fun changes are in store so stay tuned!)

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Aquarius/Pisces (4:13 pm ET/8:13 pm UT)

Wisdom Goddess: Kamala (Goddess of the Lotus, Goddess Who Leaves No One Behind)

Skill: think in reverse (what's missing?)

Positive Imprints: signs and synchronicities providing solutions, ability to see far-reaching consequences and implications, promises, choosing love over fear, nurturing the physical body, reliability, like-minded people attracting, bonds, resolution of a conflict between rational and emotional

Catalysts for Change: adjustments, moving too fast or thinking too much to see what (or who)is right in front of you, fatigue from spiritual quests, neglect, over-reliance on appearances, two-faced, narrow-minded

Did you find a missing piece to something yesterday?  If not, another opportunity is at hand today.

In the imagery of the Sabian symbol for this lunar month, pieces of the "rock formation" that  form our "ideal of greatness" for the future hide the true form.  The true form is missing until it is revealed by sculpting away the surrounding rock.  We have been doing this all month, but today and tomorrow we have good tools to complete the job.

One tool comes from the Moon's entry into Pisces later today, triggering the energetics of the Black Moon in Virgo and tapping the wealth of personal power contained in the shadow side.  Even though the Sun, our primal force, is in Aries, we are actually operating under massive Piscean energetics because 1) we are in the second of two lunar months that are like months-long Balsamic Moon phases and Balsamic is ruled by Pisces; 2) the Moon in Pisces activates Neptune and Chiron in Pisces; 3) the Moon will oppose the Black Moon (exact opposition Wednesday, April 15 at 5:29 pm ET/9:26 pm UT); and 4) the Balsamic Moon phase of this second Balsamic lunar month begins Wednesday, bringing down the veils between the worlds to where they are virtually non-existent until the New Moon on Saturday.  Everything seems elusive under strong Piscean energetics.  It's hard to get a good grip, so we hold on loosely.

Piscean energy is absolutely fabulous, but when it floods in like it will today, it can make people lose their minds, so to speak.  Pisces rules creativity, but it also rules insanity.  In a way, we will all go a little crazy in our minds.  But it can be channeled effectively by using the energy to see what is missing.  We can look all day at what is there, but a wise owl will look at what is not shown, what has not been taken into account, or what hasn't been thought of.  This is hard to do because it is "inverse thinking" and requires that we jump out of the box.  The key is to release the struggle.  Like sculptors, we need to relax and breathe deeply, step back, and look with softer eyes to see what is wants to come forward.

I am devoting a lot of time to this notion because it is important.  We are immersed in the middle of a radical shift of the ages - these very days.  It would be a shame to miss it, so take some time to register it.  See it for what it is since you have a wider perspective of what is happening.

Be aware that things are in flux and emotions will be running high through the remainder of the week and may cause people to go far out of their normal bounds.  With the Black Moon in play, people will naturally be projecting their own feelings onto others.  Feelings of failure, self-criticism, and issues with trust and vulnerability surface with the Virgo Black Moon right now.  We will work hard to not project any of that onto others or ourselves. 

Remember that Pluto will station retrograde on Friday, which always is always an intense day.

We can go far out of bounds and reap the reward of insight, but it all stays in balance when we stay connected (grounded) with the planet.  Keep your feet on the ground and your ideals of greatness lofty.

Third Quarter Moon Phase: revise, realign

Moon in Aquarius

Wisdom Goddess: Kali

Skill: triangulate (find the missing piece)

Positive Imprints: compassion for self and others, ability to triage, bringing light to darkness, opportunities from out of the blue, revising expectations, balance, confidence, beauty of form

Catalysts for Change: disappointment, expecting too much of self and others, emotionally overwhelmed, obsession, telling others what to do, overworking, putting up barriers

The Sun is becoming active again with not just one sunspot, but a group of them clustered together with "several dark cores as large as Earth" according to spaceweather.com.  They forecast a 55% chance for an M-class flare and a 20% chance for an X-class flare today. 

It is not surprising that the Sun is coalescing energy now, as we are in the final days of this natural/astrological year in preparation for a massive re-setting of the field of consciousness.  A full sweep of old energetics is happening in advance of the New Moon on Saturday, April 18 at the degree of the Sabian symbol "the music of the spheres."  The Sun, Moon, and Earth will reset, but so will the energetics of all of the bodies in the solar system.  It's joyful noise.

Music is math, and today the Wisdom Goddesses wish us to consider a spiritual mathematics.  They wish us to "triangulate" our lives.  This means look for piece that is missing.  They hope that we can see that the "missing piece" is not missing at all.  A spiritual power, in whichever way you understand it, is always in place to form the balance and the guidance.

This is important today because as outworn beliefs, feelings, and systems are disempowered and swept for the field of experience, human psyches tend to go into a state of flux, disequilibrium, and transition. It can set us off balance.

There is a concerted effort to derail or impede the recalibration of the music of the spheres, a process in which humanity plays an integral part.  The most effective way to do this is to block or cut off our inner spiritual connection.  This is happening on many fronts, primarily through mechanical manipulation of the resonant fields of the Earth.

This means we go deeper, look harder, find our line, and hold it.  We turn to Nature to reinforce our connection.  No matter what state the skies are in above you - gloomy, gooey, glowing, or glorious - Nature is there.  Nature is always the "go to."  Trace back.  Triangulate.

(Note: Flooding emotions and the projection of shadow sides is heavily in place in advance of the Moon's move into Pisces (activating the energies of the Black Moon) at 4:13 pm ET tomorrow and continuing until the New Moon on Saturday.  This will amp up on Wednesday, as "Balsamic" energy enters with the Balsamic Moon phase.  It's double Balsamic energy to release and clear because it is the Balsamic phase of two lunar months that have been like month's long Balsamic phases.)

Saturday, April 11 - Sunday, April 12, 2015

Third Quarter Moon Phase: complete, revise

Moon in Capricorn

Wisdom Goddess: Saturday: Dhumavati    Sunday:  Matangi

Skill: open up the field

Positive Imprints: determination to complete, anticipation of the new, gifts and rewards, opportunities, seeing the true form or measure of things, the power of intention, happiness, joy, celebration with others, removing barriers, things coming to fruition

Catalysts for Change:  worry, creating barriers, self-denial, desperation, seeking recognition, stifling one's feelings, insincerity, facades, indecision, cover ups, over-burdened

The Sabian symbols of the degrees of the planets this weekend involve blowing the field of possibility wide open.  It's airy energy, designed to help us see within, see through, and see beyond.  The power of intention is exceptionally high, as if the future beckons us to dream a grander dream with an infusion our hopes and wishes.

Saturday begins the Third Quarter Moon phase, which is a series of days that favor closing out, completing, or revising things we don't want to carry into the next lunar month.  The next lunar month begins next Saturday, April 18, and is the beginning of the new astrological year.  Between now and then, in collaboration with spiritual sources, we are ploughing the field of consciousness of the old and outworn.  We prepare for the promise of the new.

As far as your imagination can take you is how far you want to project intentions into the future.  There sky is the limit.  In fact, the farther we can imagine, the better because, as I've discussed all month, an epic cycle of time is resetting with the New Moon, erasing the grind of an outworn past of power and control systems, beliefs, and structures.  It's a Second Renaissance.

Here are points for consideration with the "currents" of this weekend's energies:

-What do you desire?  Is it something you have denied yourself?  Do you feel you deserve it?  Would it nourish you?

-What needs to open up?  Is it time to do something to clear a situation?  Does something need refreshing or brought back to life?

-What do you want to see?  How do you want the world of the future to be?  What comes to fruition?

-What burdens need to be unloaded?  Can you share it with someone?  Does something need to be revealed or removed from shadow?  Does it keep you from being fully present in the experience of life?

-Is there room for mystery - the unknown - to enter?  Can you create space inside yourself that is a place holder for something beautiful to come your way?  This involves trust.  And hope.  And belief.

-Can you simultaneously hold the paradox of simplicity within complexity?  This is a true art.  It involves immersing yourself in the complex machinations of life and actualization of personal potential while following the line of simplicity that runs through it.

This time of year brings the strongest spiritual connection possible.  The veils between the worlds are indeed thinnest.  Mystics revel while walls come down.

(Keep finding beauty, wise owls, and when you do, snap a photo and send it in.)

Disseminating Moon Phase: share. communicate

Moon in Capricorn

Wisdom Goddess: Shodashi (The Goddess of Beauty)

Skill: find beauty

Positive Imprints : determination, cooperation and collaboration with others, like minds coming together, imagination, foreseeing the future, positive outcomes, working toward a goal

Catalysts for Change: battles, manipulation of natural frequencies, judgmental, invading personal space and mind, taking all the credit for team effort

What will you hit upon today?  The energy is all about hits - hitting it off, hitting things hard, hitting a tune, hitting the mark, and maybe even hitting a wall.

The Sun reaches the 21st degree of Aries, the Eris Point, the location in the sky where the planet Eris was located when it was discovered.  This point in space/time contains powerful energetic signatures with some of the following themes: true love, rebirth, freedom of the mind, breaking free of chains, the fight against tyranny, Oneness, finding light hidden by darkness, destruction of power and control systems, journeys to face the shadow side, and core fears.

The planet was discovered in 2005, ushering a decade of awakening to truth hidden in shadows.  Since then, the obfuscation of our personal power has been fading.  This is culminating now as the old feelings, restrictions, systems, and beliefs that are not in alignment with our highest and best interests are falling away to reveal truth.  With this, the truth of who we really are - powerful beings - emerges.

The way this is happening is different for each of us and is directed primarily by the way the planets are affecting our personal astrology charts.  For some, the falling away of the old feels like a pummeling, pounding, chipping, or breaking.  If you are experiencing this, don't judge it.  Don't hold on to it.  Hold the line and let the universe work it's magic on your field.  If it takes a blast to get back in alignment, Eris says, "So be it."

The Sabian symbol for the Eris Point, 21 Aries, is "a boxer entering a ring."  Today, think twice before engaging in confrontations.  It may be time to take a stand or it might not.  Determine this according to how strong you feel about it, but also how much you can back it up.  If you are outmatched, save it for another day.  Be aware also that people project their shadow sides onto others under this energetic.  Don't be blindsided.

The unnatural world order would have us see the Eris energy as a force of chaos and strife, but the truth is we are in the middle of a grand divine blessing.  At the New Moon, the caged birds are freed.  We are being given the gift to change our lives and our experience of life itself.  Ready to sing?

(Note to wise owl musicians:  A piece of music has most likely been coming to you over this lunar month.  This may be something you are creating or even just an element of a bigger composition, or it may be an existing piece of music.  When the New Moon of the "Music of the Spheres" enters April 18, your skills are requested.  Consider what you would like to play then.  You will be providing sounds to imprint a Second Renaissance on Earth.)

Disseminating Moon Phase: communicate, share

Moon in Sagittarius

Wisdom Goddess:  Bhairavi (The World Nurse)

Skill: determining what is needed

Positive Imprints:  free expression, rewards, simple acts of kindness, renewal of something, the return of knowledge, hope, assisting others, surviving the test of time, an inner quest, truth

Catalysts for Change: judgmental, denying self, harshly rejecting something, over-blown sense of self, seeking the approval of others at the expense of one's spirit, expecting others to meet needs that are meant for us to meet, inhibiting free speech

In the midst of swift change, it is a skillful spiritual warrior who is able to maintain the mystical connection.

Today's energy centers around the issues of needs.  What do you need?  What do you need to do, say, change, accept, release, or see?  What do you need to dream about, wish for, or hope for?  What needs to be awakened or reawakened inside of you?

In the imagery of this lunar month's Sabian symbol, as artists working in stone, what does the emerging sculpture need at this stage?  What does your "ideal of greatness" require now?

How do the needs of others fit in?

Mercury, fresh from its encounter with Uranus yesterday, makes conjunction with the Sun today.  Mercury delivers messages, and when it makes contact with the Sun, the messages are generally self-focused (inner self-focused).  Mercury's energy is always on the move, so messages and information that provide guidance and direction on how to move (move on, move through, move with, move along, etc.) are delivered.

With Mars still in range of the Chiron Point, there is a signature for messages about moving on from suffering.

If you are feeling a pull toward a gloomier or negative outlook, you are already feeling the influence of Pluto stationing retrograde next week.  Tomorrow, Pluto will reach the minute of arc where it will turn retrograde, so a tight shadow of Pluto's retrograde is forming.  Pluto's retrograde (particularly the day of its retrograde, April 17, the day before the New Moon in Aries/New Astrological Year/Major Shift) will deeply plough the field of consciousness.  While Pluto is retrograde, it will bring a re-balancing of many things, particularly the balance between the sacred feminine and sacred masculine.  Between now and then, Pluto is helping us release negativity, so this is probably why this is showing up for you.  It's not a cause for concern; it's a sign of what to let go of.

All of the energy today leads to something being awakened or re-awakened inside of us - something that seeks admission into the light, out into the world.  What is this for you?  Is it an idea, belief, composition, construction, feeling, frequency, project, calling, foundation, painting... What's needed?

Disseminating Moon Phase: share, communicate

Moon in Sagittarius

Wisdom Goddess: Kali (The Goddess of Time and Space)

Skill: lighten up and move out of the way

Positive Imprints: quests, lifting out of or transcending situations, trusting self and intuition, discernment, truth, acceptance and approval, providing help to another, the return of forgotten talents and interests, overcoming limitations

Catalysts for Change: social prejudice, selling yourself short/not recognizing self, feeling unappreciated or underappreciated, emotional eruptions or blockages, mistrust, taking advantage, victim mentality, wanting to escape, wild goose chases

Today, wise owls practice the art of moving out of the way as powerful waves of energy sweep through the field of consciousness.  There is no need to bear a hard impact of this because the purpose of the energetics are to clear away the past.  So it really isn't designed for us, per se, it is designed to clear the past out of our way.

This is happening today due to multiple astrological events:

JUPITER STATIONS DIRECT - Jupiter appears to move forward in the sky once again after a jaunt through the past since early December.  When a planet stations direct, like Jupiter is doing today, it is similar to a slingshot being released.  Jupiter is the Planet of Expansion and it's energy is vast.  When it stations direct, it energetically "pummels" the field with a complete blast.  One of the ways this is reflected in life is through things getting blown far out of proportion.  Aim to keep things in balance today.  It is always a little crazy when a planet stations retrograde or direct.

Jupiter is stationing direct and moving toward 13 Leo and the Sabian symbol of "an old sea captain rocking on the porch of his cottage."  At the same time today, the Mahavidya (Wisdom Goddess) Kali is spinning the patterns of time in preparation for a new beginning with the New Moon on April 18th.  We feel "the spin" on the "porch of our cottage," but luckily we are in a rocking chair, so it's is easier to ride it out and keep our "sea legs" grounded.

MERCURY CONJUNCT URANUS - Mercury meets up with Uranus in the sky today, bringing messages and information that is important to our destiny.  There is a "swift" element to this combination of energies, making things happen very fast.  Communications and travel are impacted, so give yourself extra time and remain attentive while traveling (especially driving).  It's harder to do with this conjunction, but think before speaking.  This year, Mercury and Uranus are joining together to facilitate breaking away from the past.  It is more like a wildfire burning away what needs to go.

It's natural to push, struggle, strain today because all three fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are heavily activated.  We want to clue in to when this starts to happen and redirect the energy.  Stop, take a deep breath, and relax your body.  Returning ourselves to equilibrium enables the field around us to reset,  We lighten up and move out of the way.

Today is an amazing day to be alive.  We are witnessing Renaissance spinning its way into the field of consciousness.  It comes from the purging of the past through a great cosmic fire today, and we will step aside.

Full Moon Phase:  realization, illumination, insight

Moon in Scorpio

Wisdom Goddess:  Kamala (Goddess of the Lotus, Goddess Who Uplifts)

Skill: strike a balance to bridge things

Positive Imprints: regaining strength, love and expressions of love, building or restructuring, objectivity, finding simplicity within complexity, taking a chance, solutions to problems, linking, being adjustable, pieces falling away to reveal truth

Catalysts for Change: seeing the need to move on from something, sacrificing self, unsettled or anxious feelings (move your body to help with this), sabotaging relationships, pushing forward when rest is needed or being lazy when action is needed, dependence, deception, highly self-critical

Sabian:

"An empty hammock."

What does this image for the energy of the Sun's position today conjure for you?

There is a balance that needs to be struck today between two of all kinds of things.  "Two's" of different people, places, and things are destined to be bridged today, and bridges are structures of balance.

The imagery that the empty hammock conjures for you is a guide to what you need today.  What is the setting for the empty hammock you see?  Is it in a well-manicured backyard or maybe perched between two tropical trees on a sandy beach?  Is it made of rope or fabric?  Is it large enough for more than one person?

You can change your initial image of the hammock if you would like it to be something else.  Doing this would be an example of bridging two different things, perhaps an old idea or mindset to a new one.

Key to this is how we balance work/rest, self/others, focus/play, giving/receiving, etc. 

This exercise may seem trivial, but there is deep personal meaning associated with the astrological symbols today.  The energy is meant to span the distance.  We are in a transition time where we are bridging from one world to another.  Today's input is very important to the shape of the future, so we want to be keenly aware of the power of the mind.  Wise owls have the Second Renaissance in mind.

Today is the last day of the Full Moon phase, but the energetics will remain "excited" and will "build" toward tomorrow's wave of Jupiter stationing direct and Mercury conjunct Uranus.  Expect messages and information to be released and delivered.  The energy will be super-fast tomorrow, so we will be ready to remain centered and out of the fray.

Today we bring balance and bridge toward something new.  The plans and supervision are readily available, so to speak.  All we have to do is engage our imagination.

Full Moon Phase: illumination, revelation

Moon in Scorpio

Ruling Wisdom Goddess: Shodashi (Goddess Who Fulfills Our Highest and Best Interests), Matangi (Goddess Who Purges What is Not in Our Highest and Best Interests), Dhumavati (Goddess Who Sorts)

Skill: recognize patterns

Positive Imprints:  FINDING THINGS, rediscovery, balance, seeing how to not lose yourself, expanding sense of identity, opening up space, cooperation, seeing beyond illusion, reflection, perseverance, inter-relating, divine intervention

Catalysts for Change: feeling like giving up on something, anger, shocks, fiery outbursts, obsession with loss, refusing to relate, issues with aging, over-emphasis on appearance, isolation, uncompromising

Where to begin?

Let's start with recapping the Full Moon/Eclipse.  The Sabian symbol for the degree of Saturday's Full Moon (15 Libra) is "circular paths."   The energy brings back the past, repeating patterns of the past, and feelings about the past.  This is the energetic that is still in effect, since we are still in the Full Moon phase.

But, in a monumental way, the past is being swept away.  The "circular paths" of the past are being eclipsed - cut off, taken away.  Two reasons for this are the Full Moon's eclipse and the   fact that this entire lunar month is a close-out of a grand cycle of time (discussed in the audio overview that is posted).

Today, as we continue our journey of releasing the patterns of the past, we have the help of the Sun meeting up with Uranus (a conjunction). This only happens one day each year.  Surprising things often happen on this day, but they always serve to make things better (even though it is not usually apparent at the time).  The Sun and Uranus set things right; they put us into alignment with our true course.  (The energy also leans toward accident-proneness.  Be patient when driving; give wide berth.)

The Moon has already made an opposition to Mars today, inciting a bit of anger into the dynamic, but also an added element of letting go of the past with Mars' location at the degree of the Sabian symbol "a widow at an open grave."  This energy often brings the culmination of a realization that has been slowly emerging, especially realizations related to losses and relationships.  We can let go of any blocks (or hardened armor) that we think keeps us protected.  We can fill in the grave and turn away.

When we do, opportunities, open doors, new paths, and unseen possibilities follow, and this is certainly the case today.

As the field of consciousness continues to be swept clean of the past, things come into disequilibrium.  A shift is in process and we are adjusting to another rhythm.  We are re-tuning.  It can produce feelings of anxiety and fear.  But what is happening is growth, and growth is nothing to fear.

Today, divine assistance is at hand to help us release and adjust.  Pay close attention to patterns (things that repeat).  Wisdom is afoot.  As always, we find our stability nestled within the consciousness of the planet, and we connect with it through immersion in the beauty of nature.

(Note:  A coronal mass ejection from what spaceweather.com describes as "a canyon of fire stretching halfway across the Sun" erupted Saturday, the day of the Full Moon/Eclipse, April 4, at 6:30 pm ET/10:30 pm UT.  The energetic of the Sabian symbol "a rabbi performing his duties" was engaged.  I see this as further evidence that it's sunset for the new world order, as I have mentioned over the past couple of months.  The eclipsing of circular paths (rituals, repeating patterns) is in play with the Full Moon phase.  As I have also mentioned, the new world order has used the degree of "a rabbi performing his duties" to ritualistically imprint darkness into the field of human experience.  I believe the power of all of that is being eclipsed.  It's cause for celebration!)

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, magic

Moon in Libra

Wisdom Goddess: Tara (Goddess Who Guides)

Skill: believe

Positive Imprints: going back to details or something that was dismissed, stories, self-expression, security, things becoming stronger, shifting focus or intention to something else in order to include it, flexibility, the fantastical

Catalysts for Change: emotionally overwhelmed, division, set-backs (because they are temporary), knee-jerk reactions, automatons, dumping feelings or responsibilities onto others, trying to do it all, excuses, routines that are soul-sucking, dismissing something without giving it a chance

Sabian

The eve of the Full Moon continues the "sweeping" energy to blow out the old and blow in the new.  Today's focus for the sweep is our emotional body.  It may be an emotional "blow out."

Issues with this only arise if we are resisting change or misunderstanding the event as an indicator that we are in chaos.  The emotional cleansing scatters our emotional energies to the four corners, but we ourselves are not uncontained.  Things are being swept clean, not shattered.  Pieces are being removed so that visions of greatness are revealed.

The Full Moon excites or perturbs the energy of the field of consciousness.  There is always a natural rise in emotionality.  We are often stirred to a fever pitch.  Full Moon Fever is already underway with this much-hyped "Blood Moon."  There is a plethora of analyses, most of which is rather doom-based.  The only thing doomed is the "unnatural world order," my favorite term for the cabal.

Why would messages about doom be fertilized within mass consciousness while messages about a new beginning face interference? 

Because power lies in belief.

The clean sweep of the field is coming from divine sources, but our beliefs, as a collective, will be what "tunes" the new cycle that begins April 18.  The universe will re-set the energetics to neutral, eradicating the powerful patterns of old systems (the past).

Wise owls have been "loading in" hopes, wishes, dreams, and ideals of greatness for the past six weeks to tune the field accordingly.  We have two more weeks of projecting these visions into the future.  This is humanity's contribution of raw material for the future cycle of time, the raw material to which the universe will respond.  It's called conscious co-creation.  It was always a part of our destiny, and the time is now.

So now is not the time to succumb to emotions and fall prey to tricks that the end is near or that chaos and strife are set to reign.  We look deeper, understanding that right along side the deconstruction of the past is the reconstruction of the present and future. 

Chaos and strife are not set to reign; they are set to unchain. Chaos and strife release the shackles of tyranny over the mind.  Chaos and strife is happening to the unnatural world order and the Archons, not humanity.  Humanity is set for a return to balance.  Don't be fooled otherwise.  We are well-prepared to hold the line for the field re-set and the aftermath.

If your emotions or situations in your life start blowing to the four corners, the four corners can handle it.  I mentioned the Band of Brothers, the Knights of Sophia, in this month's audio recording.  These four divine beings are the four corners - the four directions.  Let go of whatever is sweeping out and they will transform it.

The Sun moves to the degree of "an Indian weaving a blanket" today, but what are you weaving in to the blanket of consciousness?  Love or fear?  Stay the course and remember that as things fall away, greatness is revealed.  The point of power lies in belief.

(One other thing:  Usually the energetics favor us finding wisdom from the inside world, but today things cross our paths to bring wisdom from the outside world.  Be on the lookout!)

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, magic

Moon in Virgo

Wisdom Goddess: Kamala (Goddess of Desire)

Skill: spread your wings

Positive Imprints: following intuition, wisdom and strength gained, revelations, foreshadowing the future, rising above, recuperation, intervention by a higher power, seeing other sides, letting go

Catalysts for Change: the need for speed, feeling out of control, acting purely from instinct, quitting just before the finish line, pushing too hard or not resting, reaching boiling or breaking points, immobilized, neglecting self-care, frustration, feeling cornered

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: a majestic formation resembling a face is idealized by a boy who takes it up as his ideal of greatness, and as he grows up, begins to look like it”

This lunar month we are preparing to bring our ideals of greatness into form.  Inherently, this requires that we “spread our wings.”  Wings are the key motif today.  Here’s how:

WINGS ARE FLUTTERING to point something out, deliver a message or gift, excite us, alert us to something or something that is about to happen, or move us toward something.

WINGS ARE FOLDING in to rest throughout the day because the energetics gain intensity as the Full Moon approaches.

WINGS ARE FANNING over situations to cool them off or calm them down to release a build-up of tensions and tectonics.

WINGS ARE FLUORESCING solutions and insights from the perspective of a different light.

As wise owls spread their wings over the world today, we are mindful of the Full Moon/Eclipse that occurs this Saturday, April 4 at 8:06 am ET/12:06 pm UT at the degree of “circular paths.” 

Saturday is going to be massive.

First and foremost, this Full Moon is the last Full Moon of an ancient epoch that is ending.  Recall that the degree of this lunar month (the degree of the New Moon) was the very last degree of the zodiac.  This month began with a total eclipse of the Sun, which cuts things off, takes them away, or obscures them.

Remember also that the next lunar month (and astrological “new year”) on April 18 will occur at the degree of “the music of the spheres,” and as I understand it, will reset everything, including the cycle of time.  This is discussed in the audio recording for this month, entitled “Ideals of Greatness” and available on the homepage of www.oraclereport.com.

Astrologically, the Full Moon opposes (is 180 degrees away from) Uranus and squares (is 90 degrees away from) Pluto.  The Sun will be conjunct Uranus, in square to Pluto, and in trine to Jupiter.  The Sun will act as a generator of even more energy to fuel the Full Moon dynamic of change and transformation of the CIRCULAR PATHS OF THE PAST – the outworn imprints of the past.

More on this tomorrow, but everyone should be aware of the wave of energy that is entering as the Moon waxes to Full.  For today, spread your wings and stretch toward your ideals of greatness for your life and for the world.  Truly they are closer than they ever have been and are ready to take their place.

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust, magic

Moon in Virgo

Wisdom Goddess: Matangi (Goddess of the Wind) and Dhumavati (Goddess Who Winnows)

Skill: be open to things being refreshed

Positive Imprints: connection with spiritual source, new ideas and opportunities, inspiration, simplicity, finding beauty in nature

Catalysts for Change: anger (even explosive anger, self-loathing, secrets revealed, immaturity, mistrust, not seeing the good things that are right in front of us, lack of direction

Sabian

Things well up from the deep to be released and healed today.  The "cosmic sweeping" that is underway is the source of the uprising.

At the next New Moon, the New Moon in Aries on April 18, a grand re-set will take place within the "field of consciousness."  Old energies that are based on ugly things (control systems, activities that debase life, and shadows on self-perception, in particular) lose power.  The grip of the past - the past that limits us - loosens.

In the meantime, as the field is "ploughed," all kinds of things are being unearthed.  These are treasures, dirt-covered perhaps, but treasures nonetheless.  Feelings, circumstances, situations, dramatic events, and changes are coming up, and they may not feel good.  This is happening so that that these can be removed from the field - removed from our experience of life.  They served their purpose and we can treasure the wisdom gained.

Today, the "ploughing" focuses on relationships, ideals of love, and wounds of the heart.  This is due to Venus and Chiron in aspect and the Moon meeting up with the Black Moon at the same place in the sky.

The combination of these two astrological dynamics could prompt dramatic projection of the shadow side onto others, especially romantic partners. 

The combination also brings the tendency to highlight or over-blow our feelings of failure and incapability.

We can take the perspective of viewing what's happening from above the field, like a bird flying over.  From this vantage point, we see things coming up and then being swept away by a great cosmic force.  We do not need to be caught up in the machinations. 

In other words, we know that things are coming up inside of us to be removed and healed, so there is no need for attachment.  We don't have to own or define or even understand what is happening; we can let a divine force come through and do its work.

We know that no matter what wells up, it is a clean sweep to refresh everything.

(For those that follow such things, the Moon will make conjunction with the Black Moon at 6:30 pm ET/10:30 pm UT.)

Gibbous Moon Phase: trust

Moon in Leo/Virgo (2:13 pm ET/6:13 pm UT)

Ruling Wisdom Goddess: Matangi (Goddess of the Wind)

Skill: grow with the flow

Positive Imprints: seeking direction, passages, insight, free to express, cleaning or making room, airing out issues, freshening things up, emergence, humor, relief, fellowship

Catalysts for Change: projection of one's feelings onto others, reactions, negative outlook, cut-off from seeing potential, seeking approval or popularity, expecting others to do for you

Sabian Symbol

In the rhythm of the cycles of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, we have moved out of the assertive energetics of First Quarter Moon phase and into the receptive energetics of the Gibbous Moon phase.  Gibbous Moon phase is the time of trust.  Things get esoteric.

In keeping, the energetics of the planets paint an esoteric picture today.  A clear, streaming wave is sweeping through the field of consciousness, leveling it of old and outworn elements.  A clean sweeping of the past is occurring.  This includes the recent past and the most remote past.  It is a wave of love that is shifting the world toward balance, sanity, and wisdom.

But sweeping kicks things up.  When we sweep a floor, dust and whatnot is kicked up.  This  sweeping wave of energy is kicking up emotions, making them run high.  This is a response to the field of the future -the field of possibilities - opening up as a result of the sweep.  Reactions to this airing out and opening up can be quite strong.  We are all adjusting to the transition.

Additionally, with the Moon moving into Virgo, we have a couple of "Black Moon Days" on our hands.  At Oracle Report, I call the days when the Moon is in the same sign as the Black Moon "Black Moon Days" to alert everyone to the fact that shadow sides tend to be unconsciously projected on these days.  There is a particular flavor to this one that causes a lot of projection of one's own feelings through pointing out what others are doing wrong.  The Moon and the Black Moon are in Virgo, heightening feelings of failure, incapability, mistrust, and vulnerability.

When the "field of consciousness" is perturbed (even for a good reason) like it is right now, and the shadow components of humanity are in play, wise owls exercise the skill of flow.  The Sun gives us the clue on how to do it today as it discharges the energy of "a flock of wild geese." 

The "medicine" or wisdom of geese is found in one way through their flying V-formation.  They take turns leading the way and they always have clear line of sight.  They never fly in front of each other.  When the leader tires, the formation shifts and another member of the flock takes the lead.  This is a fluid scenario.  We are wise to follow this wisdom, flowing with the streaming wave of energy today.

The "opening of the field" that results from the wave that is sweeping also opens up wedges for "divide and conquer" or separation behavior.  The V-formation is open-ended by nature.  There are forces that do not want the world to be different and better, and they are incited to counter the sweeping wave of love.  People are easily influenced to act from a place of anger or fear.  And shadow sides are already out.

Today, see what others are missing.  There is much that is degenerating and falling away, but it is only happening to reveal something better.  If someone projects their shadow side onto you, recognize that what you are seeing is fear.  There is no need to react.  Humanity unites against shadows.  We know that they are not a real part of us.  But they do help us face our fears, which means we grow.

So, today we will "grow with the flow" as the wave sweeps through.  Let's be open to receiving the magic of Gibbous Moon phase.

First Quarter Moon Phase: step out, take action

Moon in Leo

Ruling Wisdom Goddess: Chinnamasta (Goddess That Expands the Mind)

Skill: discover something inside

Positive Imprints: uniqueness, including others, good manners, embracing the new, knowledge and learning, bringing things to life, taking another look at something from the past, extra effort to communicate

Catalysts for Change: control issues, holding back, overlooking others, disinterest, feeling superior, resistance, expanding base of power and control, lifelessness

Sabian:

The Sun returns to the degree that kicked off this astrological year, "the ruler of a nation."  At its essence, this energy is about finding and empowering our inner selves. 

As a result of this today, a sense of structure, order, self-discipline, and expansion seeks us.  We gain new awareness and understanding about better methods or how to do better with things.  Mercury, the Messenger, moves to the first degree of the zodiac, 1 Aries, with energy of the symbol of "a woman has risen out of the ocean and a seal is embracing her."  So, brand new ideas enter the field today.  Brand new insight into how to be a better ruler of our own inner nation is also delivered.  Mercury is working hard on this.

Another key theme developing today revolves around reviving and revitalizing.  Is there something inside of you that wants to be brought back to life?  Slow-moving Uranus, the planet responsible for delivering the massive shift in frequencies this past year, moves to the degree of "two prim spinsters sitting together in silence."  This energetic will be in effect for the remainder of this lunar month and releases spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental blockages.  You can sit in silence with yourself and ask the other side what it needs to feel alive again.  There may be something inside of you that is trying to rise up in your inner nation inside of you.  As the beginning of the new astrological year approaches, all sorts of things are springing to life.  Tune in to what this is inside of you.

Mars spends its last full day in its home sign of Aries.  It leaves with a final attempt to nurture and enrich us.  It desires to strengthen our true identity so that individual uniqueness is better expressed and manifested in the world.  It strives to give us courage to be ourselves.

If you encounter challenge, difficulty, or interruption, it may be helpful to stop and put on different lenses of perception (look at it from different points of view).  Solutions are found by discerning what is missing or what isn't being acknowledged or taken into account.

Today is a day of changes, and that is a good thing because we are pivoting and adapting to better ways and taking measure of our lives.  It's also good because we are taking up new rule within our own inner nation.  The inner world of greatness seeks life.  Let's find it and project it out today.
