I like it especially because it coincides with my sense of anticipation and hope about the energies of the year ahead.

This is another very large, very active spot -- since it appeared last week, there have been almost a dozen strong flares.
I've been feeling it again mostly since yesterday, my run Friday morning feeling like I was pushing my way through molasses as my legs struggled to do the usual route.

Such an active time for the Sun, and therefore a profound time for us!
Sleep well...
Postscript Monday morning, Oct 27: Another flare this morning, this one an M6. According to NOAA forecasters, potentials for more flares today are 85% for M-class and 55% for X-class.

Three events are happening in quick succession: Pluto's station at about 5:30pm on Monday the 22nd, followed just two hours later by the Equinox, followed a day later by the New Moon. We're already feeling the shift, which has been building over the past few days.

These high-level explosions happen from time to time, but most times, the CME (coronal mass ejection) that's released -- which creates strong solar winds -- is not directed toward the Earth.
Today's X-flare apparently was directly facing Earth when it exploded, and so scientists http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006907433948383278noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122174313378901633.post-45398900017040532272014-09-07T09:05:00.002-07:002014-09-07T09:05:42.527-07:00Heart healing chantAs promised in today's Journal, here is the link to the hour-long "Holy Harmony" chant by Jonathan Goldman:

My apologies all around -- Mercury did go direct at 5:49 AM today, rather than 5:49 PM.
Phew.

I've not been especially aware of the day of Chiron's station in years past, but it certainly got my attention today.
In general, Chiron in Pisces is revealing -- and offering healing around -- the wound of faith. http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006907433948383278noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122174313378901633.post-7497300834212224262014-05-25T12:22:00.002-07:002014-05-25T12:22:44.898-07:00Early Mercury retrogradeOK, so I just did it again -- sent out this week's journal with last week's dates in the masthead.
It must be that I'm just so excited about the Neptunian New Moon and Mercury retrograde that I've already leapt into the effects!
I'm sure it's my reminder about the need to let go of certain aspects of this reality, especially that Virgoan need for perfection.

She channeled it during the Lunar Eclipse yesterday, and I find it to be both good and inspiring information.

My only complaint about Aisha's website is the small white print on the black background -- if that is hard to read for you (as it is for me), you might http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006907433948383278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122174313378901633.post-64737997873969030612014-04-13T10:37:00.000-07:002014-04-13T10:37:09.293-07:00IntegrationI'm in the middle of writing today's Journal -- just finishing the paragraphs about the Sabian symbol for our Lunar Eclipse. As I was reading Dane Rudhyar's interpretation of the symbol, I remembered the "Integration" card from the Osho Zen tarot deck. Here's a picture of that card:

"I just finished reading your weekly newsletter. Why does anger gets settle in the arms? And where can I read more on how our feelings or emotions get stuck in our bodies and how to release them? Would you recommend any literature please?"
Here's my reply:
I read about anger and the arms in a study called "Bodily maps of http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006907433948383278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122174313378901633.post-46527910172780281482014-03-30T09:22:00.003-07:002014-03-30T09:22:46.197-07:00Just in caseBecause my computer barely started this morning, and because we're entering this powerful time of change, I'm thinking that there's a slight possibility I won't be able to write this week's journal today. If all goes well, I should have it out by early afternoon as usual -- but if you don't receive it, please know that I'm just having computer issues.

Vesta is goddess of the HEARTH, rather than goddess of the HEART.
Although, I can see it being true both ways.

The first meditation, entitled "Opening to a Higher http://www.blogger.com/profile/08006907433948383278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9122174313378901633.post-55605873676708230752014-02-23T09:19:00.003-08:002014-02-23T09:19:51.896-08:00Guided meditations from OrinTwo decades ago, I became aware of the work of Sanaya Roman, channel for Orin. I enrolled in and completed their "Awakening Your Light Body" meditation course, which I credit for having opened my awareness to perceiving energies.
Now, they are offering two meditations free for download from their website. I used one of them in my meditation this morning and found it very powerful.

Regarding your dates for the solar flips, there was a significant shift in my life at each one of the cycles, except for the first -- I wasn't born ( though as a history teacher, I realize that '44 was near the end of WWII).

So, even though the subject line of the email is OK, the header still has last week's dates.
Oh, well. If that's the biggest error I encounter while Mercury is retrograde, I'll consider myself fortunate! Thanks for smiling through it with me.

Do you know anything about these two 'blood moons' this year, at the spring and autumn equinoxes? Supposedly the last time this occurred was 2,000 yrs ago when the Romans destroyed the Jewish temple.
I decided to post my reply here, since there may be others who are also wondering about these lunations:

The dates of solar maximum seem to occur about 4 years into each solar cycle. Our current solar maximum is a bit later than expected -- it was originally predicted for 2012-2013.
