Awaken CreatorsSteve Rother – Greetings from Home.

We join you this day from afar, watching the magical game that is unfolding on your planet. It is a wonderful time to be here and come together to celebrate unity. We see you quite differently than you see yourselves. You are creator beings, unaware that you are creator beings. And there are some fascinating things taking place with that.

Eris’s Feminine Imprint

Let’s journey back a few months to revisit the remarkable encounter Earth had with the planet Eris. This meeting marked a significant crossroad in our cosmic timeline, showcasing Eris’s rapid evolution and substantial balance.

A New Moon Eclipse of Standing Your Ground

~ admin ~ 4 Comments

eclipseHenry Seltzer – Thursday’s solar eclipse and New Moon in late Aquarius has some interesting features. Because an eclipse configuration is considered to be an especially powerful lunation, this presages a set of relationships between archetypal energies that may well last us into the second half of 2018, conditioning our collective response to this brave new year of fundamental transition.

The most obvious factors are, again, the outer planet energies of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, with emphasis on the first two of these, associated with a dawning spirituality as well as feelings of universal compassion and the dissolving of strict walls and borders.  Continue reading →

A January 2018 of Progressive Impulse and Conservative Holding Back

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

new moonHenry Seltzer – The astrology of January features Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Eris. As we have been saying for months now, this continues to be a very Uranian time, since the Sagittarius New Moon that preceded January made a close trine to the Trickster planet, while the Capricorn New Moon of the 16th demonstrates even greater highlighting of Uranus.

Individuality therefore runs high, and there is a rebellious impulse to do unexpected things in branching away from what is perceived as a dysfunctional status quo. Countering these indications of a progressive agenda is the powerful presence of Saturn, strongly highlighted in last month’s Winter Solstice as well as in the lunations of the first two weeks of January, when Pluto is also greatly emphasized.

All the traditional outer planets are very much in play this month, with the January 1st Full Moon making a close trine aspect to Neptune, signifying numinous feelings of divine insight as well as confusion and illusion in the horizontal physical realms here below. This implies that we have a both a difficult passage into the New Year and, as well, a golden opportunity to develop character and to make progress along the lines of our highest intention toward renewed spiritual evolution.

A Dynamic, Surprising, and Insightful Month of February

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

uranusHenry Seltzer – The astrology of February features Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Eris, and two eclipses. By now, Mercury has fully recovered from its recent retrograde, as of last January 27th, and as it does so, conjuncts Pluto in mid-Capricorn in the chart of the January 27th New Moon that holds the keys to this month’s astrological cycle. Many of the themes from January, involving outer planet combinations, are true for this month of February as well, and with even greater intensity.

Jupiter stations at 23 Libra in the first week of February, late on Sunday evening, and thus maintains his recent and very strong opposition to Uranus and Eris, the new planet beyond Pluto. Uranus and Eris continue to be separated by less than two degrees, increasing the active potency of both archetypes. In particular, with Uranus conjunct Eris, opposed to Jupiter, and also still in square with Pluto, there are loads of brilliant new ideas and insights flooding in, with consequences for individual and collective agendas. Things will not go at all the way that was planned, but what is equally true is that there will be a great deal of learning in the side roads that are unexpectedly taken.

Then too, we have the very powerful Lunar Eclipse in Leo of February 10th, which aspects Eris, by trine and sextile, within 10 minutes of a degree, and therefore also triggers the Jupiter-Uranus opposition, and Uranus square Pluto. The February 26th New Moon at 8 Pisces also makes many powerful outer planet connections, indicating that our massive structural transformation continues into the following month. Of these, the most notable is to numinous Neptune. Everything, it is said, is an illusion here below, which might explain the recent rise of “alternative facts.”

Perspective Shifts and Studied Responses

~ admin ~ Leave a comment

erisHenry Seltzer – Thursday’s Last Quarter Moon is an interesting lunation, in part because the Sun changes signs, moving from business- and practical-oriented Capricorn into Aquarius, indicating a major and relevant shift of perspective in the midst of these transformational times. Then, there is also the shift in point of view indicated by the very nature of this lunar phase, which seminal 20th century astrologer Dane Rudhyar referred to as a “crisis in consciousness.” By this he meant that the accumulated trials of the previous three weeks of the existing lunar cycle have put us in a different place, so that our state of knowledge and understanding concerning our situation has reached a kind of impasse; we need a new starting point in order to go on.

There is thus an implied perspective shift inherent in this lunar phase, a new way of seeing the world around us that will, as seed idea, carry us into the next cycle. Couple that with the Sun in Uranus’ sign and we have before us another dynamic juncture. Perhaps the biggest news in the current astrology is Uranus, being in close conjunction with Eris, and opposed by Jupiter. This brings surprising events, trickster activities, and unexpected enlightenment to the fore, just as the Sun entering into Aquarius further supports this archetype. We can therefore expect that the astonishing twists and turns of these past few months will continue.

Of course here in the U.S., this is also the timing of the inauguration of a new administration, on the 20th, and as well the coming weekend’s Women’s March on Washington in protest of this particular president-elect. This latter event reflects the highlighted presence of the new astrological archetype of Eris, Feminine Warrior energy in support of deep soul intention, as my research has shown.
