Sitting in a tide pool

As we move forward in this week following Sunday's Solar Eclipse, we might expect to feel energized -- after all, this was an eclipse, which is supposed to feel like an amplified New Moon, with all the accompanying energy for new beginnings...

But the effect of this Cancer Solar Eclipse has been, perhaps not so surprisingly, to increase our sense of vulnerability. It has opened the space for emotions to pour forth, sometimes unrelated to anything in particular, but equally as often connected to conscious yearnings of the heart. We feel for our Mother Earth and the plants and animals affected by the oil in the Gulf. We long for the innocence of childhood, the deep knowing that all is well because we are tucked into our beds and Mom has kissed us goodnight. We feel the combination of gratitude and sadness for what once was, and pray for the guidance to lead us forward with compassion and grace.

It may also feel like we are in a bit of a holding pattern because there are very few major aspects this week. Even the three I listed on this week's Journal -- Pluto trine Venus today (Tuesday), Saturn semisquare Mercury on Saturday, and Uranus sesquisquare Mercury on Sunday -- are not typically the kinds of planetary interactions that are felt very strongly.

So perhaps this is a week when we are meant to be inside our caves as much as possible, leaving the external activities for another day. After all, we have much to process on emotional levels, and understandings to gain that connect the past with the present. What comes into our awareness with this processing is meant to open our hearts further, as we learn to nurture ourselves and also have compassion for those with whom we are sharing our journey.

Next week will probably feel very different, especially around July 21 and 22, when the Sun enters Leo, and Saturn enters Libra to set up the final Saturn-Uranus opposition on the 26th. There's a lot going on astrologically then and through the first two weeks of August -- so we may want to take advantage of any cave time we can find for now.

It all depends...

I've become fascinated by crop circles in the past week. Today, a new one in the United Kingdom, at Clay Hill near Warminster, Wiltshire:

There isn't any interpretation yet posted on the Crop Circle website (http://www.cropcircleconnector.com/), but just looking at this one makes me think the message is "It all depends on how you look at it."

Seems a very appropriate reminder for us now, as we deal with so many physical manifestations that from certain viewpoints look horrific, but perhaps from a higher perspective have a purpose we may not yet see.

Lunation misspeak

Hi everyone,

It's been brought to my attention that I mistakenly wrote in my NorthPoint Journal this week that the Solar Eclipse next Sunday, July 11, is a Full Moon -- when obviously, it's a NEW Moon. My apologies for any confusion that was caused!

Hope you're all enjoying this first week of July...

Blessings,

Pam

Channeled resources for a powerful week

Greetings!

This powerful week has brought forth channelings from a few people whose words I have come to trust, and I would like to share a couple of them with you, to offer them as support at this time of transformation and transition.

Here is the link to the latest "Expect Wonderful" post by Meredith Murphy, who channels Archangel Michael:

The Holographic Reality of the New Earth is Within YOU

And, here is the link to the new "Think with Your Heart" post by Lauren Gorgo:

Lunar to Solar Eclipse -- The Big Push

I hope you find them helpful!

Many blessings,

Pam

Crop circle and the grand cross

It seems the Jupiter-Sun square is filling the airwaves with hope and possibility today!

This morning, I have also come across this information about a crop circle that was first seen on May 22. Here's the beginning of a longer interpretation -- if you wish to read further, I will include the link at the bottom of this post.

On May 22, a crop circle appeared near the windmill of Wilton in Wiltshire, South of England – a crop circle with an encoded message. This crop circle speaks of a profound paradigm shift, a reverse of polarity.

It alludes to two dates: The Grand Cross on June 26 2010 and December 21, 2012.

It contains a powerful warning, speaks of a global crisis and at the same time it shows the solution.

On June 26, 2010, there is an extraordinary planetary constellation, a Grand Cross. According to the message of the crop circle, the sun creates a new room, a healing room, a new field of consciousness on that day.

Here's the link, as promised, to the rest of the interpretation of this crop circle (the website is in German -- to read the English version, scroll down the page):

And here's a picture of the crop circle itself:

Onward and upward!

Dr. Masaru Emoto's healing prayer for the gulf

Hi everyone,

I received this e-mail this morning, and thought it very worthwhile to post it here for more to read -- if you are inspired to do so, please copy it and send it on to others!

And if you're not familiar with Dr. Emoto's work, I highly recommend discovering more...

Dr. Masaru Emoto's Healing Prayer for the Gulf

Yesterday at our spiritual center we read a letter from Dr. Masaru Emoto, who many of you will recognize as the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water. Among other things, his research reveals that water physically responds to emotions.

Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emoto, himself, has proposed.

I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings.

To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton, coral, algae, and all living creatures ...  I am sorry.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

I love you.

We are passing this request to people who we believe might be willing to participate in this prayer, to set an intention of love and healing that is so large, so overwhelming that we can perform a miracle in the Gulf of Mexico.

We are not powerless. We are powerful. Our united energy, speaking this prayer daily ... multiple times daily ... can literally shift the balance of destruction that is happening.

We don't have to know how ... we just have to recognize that the power of love is greater than any power active in the Universe today.

Please join us in repeating this healing prayer of of Dr. Emoto's. And feel free to copy and paste this to send it around the planet.

Let's take charge, and do our own clean up!

And so it is! Pass it on.

Just when you think...

One of the requirements of any Saturn-Pluto interaction is that we learn how to navigate situations that are outside of our control. We've had experiences recently of that effect -- just when we thought we had something figured out, a new direction to move in, or the solution to a problem found, we look around to see what appears to be a reversal.

It's good to keep in mind that we couldn't be aware of the "one step back" if we hadn't already made the "two steps forward." And, it's important to realize that these two planets are very thorough, and are not likely to move past a point if there are any details left to be taken care of (Saturn) or structural problems to be revealed (Pluto).

We've been working with the current Saturn-Pluto square since early this year, and are now slowly moving toward the final exact aspect on August 21. Next week's grand cross formation, which involves Pluto and Saturn and five other planets, should reveal even more about where we still need to take responsibility for creating change, rather than trying to find a convenient party to blame.
