Sarah Varcas – Neptune retrograde is many things: unity with the divine, flight into unreality, immersion in love, avoidance through self-deception and compassionate repose. It is both our return to sacred source and all we do to avoid the stark terrain we must sometimes cross to get there. Neptune offers a choice: to embrace the divine or avoid ourselves. We simply cannot do both.
The healing offered by Neptune requires faith so deep we are willing to relinquish our very identity if we must. To experience the deep peace of Neptune’s unconditional love we cannot maintain a narrative about who did what and when, how our life should be as opposed to how it is, or re-run past hurts, old triumphs or future imaginings. Neptune knows nothing but everything all as one. When it turns retrograde it provides as a backdrop to the ups and downs of everyday life, the opportunity to let everything go and immerse ourselves in the divine flow of love forever emerging from the heart of Sacred Source. In this flow we are nothing and no-one and yet everything too, complete and forever whole.
“Dare we set our course for a new direction, keeping our gaze on a world in which we participate fully as conscious and responsible beings? Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds.” ~ Bob Marley

Fiona Almeleh – We are part of a world that pulses with consciousness. A door is being opened to the greater reality and it calls us to enter as beings freed of fear and filled with love. As we wake to each new day, our very first thought and feeling determine the quality of our experience. This is our opportunity to enter the miraculous and consciously create the reality we dream of.
Are you warmly lit from within with deep gratitude, or do you simply choose to fall into it, resigned, allowing yourself to succumb to all the different inner weathers, mechanically following learned and required responses to whatever life presents you with? In this light, accepting, through your indifference or acquiescence, to be a part of a society where breaking free of normal constraints and fully taking responsibility for what you have helped to create in terms of disharmony, becomes personally extremely disturbing, far too risky and completely destabilizing.
Apparently, it is so much easier to keep redefining one’s reality according to difficulties or the status quo, which is ironic because it requires less energy to change than it does to stay the same. Do you actively choose to meet with yourself in the routine of life, transforming this into sacred ritual time, time that is no different to that which is specially designated and assigned to special places, whether they are for prayer or politics? Is it only when we gaze upon life’s wonders that we accept and rest into our divinity? Surely humanity’s quest for itself needs to continually align with a higher modus operandi, as we birth new generations and go through the cycles of life experiencing the full gamut of emotions. Perhaps this search involves surrendering to finer levels of being as we make those choices to love and cherish the gift of life, honouring our planet and taking full advantage of the opportunity we have whilst here.
