Entering the solar storms

Tom Kenyon has just posted a new channeling entitled "Entering the Solar Storms." It's been quite a while since he last received information from his other-dimensional sources (the Hathors) — over a year, in fact. As he says in his comments on the channeling:

"Whenever I went to them and inquired about the lack of a new message they said that they had already communicated everything that needed to be said up to that point. And when the time was ready — meaning poised for another shift — they would give a new message."

The new message (posted April 1) contains some interesting information. It repeats some of what I wrote about in yesterday's Journal — that as we work with the heightened solar winds and higher vibrational energies, our emotions become more volatile. Here is one paragraph in particular that got my attention:

"As you enter this new phase of solar storms understand that they are extraordinary opportunities for evolutionary advancement. They are also, paradoxically, fraught with dangers for devolution due to their intense nature. If you resist the energies of acceleration, you will experience great difficulties in this passage. If you embrace these energies and master them — finding a way to navigate through them with appreciation and a good dose of humor — you will find greater freedom. This freedom of which we speak is a freedom of the human spirit, mind and heart. It resides in a level of consciousness untouched by the dualities of your earthly existence."

The new channeling also provides techniques and an audio meditation to help release emotional toxins and heal the heart chakra.

If you're interested, here's the link to the new channeling, which includes Tom's comments at the end, and the link that will allow you to listen to or download the audio meditation (free of charge):

I plan to listen to the meditation later today — if you decide to do the same, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Blessings and Peace,

Pam

16 seconds to shift the energy

With many thanks to the two sources in my life that have presented corroborative ideas recently (Johanna Hedge, my energy practitioner extraordinaire and Suzanne Lie, author/channel of Multidimensional News), here is a 16-second process to shift the energy of something that is causing you distress:

1. Feel the emotion, and find where it is being held in your body (where you feel it the most).

2. To the count of 4, inhale, focusing on that location in your body and the emotional energy there.

3. Hold your breath for another count of 4, allowing your entire focus to be in the emotion and in the area of your body where it is held.

4. You will then exhale for 8 seconds. For the first count of 4, imagine the emotion and energy from that emotion being released with your outbreath. For the last count of 4, call Divine Light and imagine it coming in through the top of your head (crown chakra) and filling the space where the emotion was.

Repeat, if needed, and as often as it feels helpful.

And let me know if this works as well for you as it is for me!

Blessings,

Pam

Another "break" word

A client sent me this email this morning:

In your journal today you use the word "break" in many forms. What came to my mind as I was reading was "breaking silence." I'm finding the need to become a "squeaky wheel," after perhaps too many years of being "nice."

A perfect example of another "break" word that is appropriate for the coming week!

Question about the human-animal relationship

This question came as reply to one of my other posts on this site:

I'm very interested to know how all these astrological shifts are affecting the human/animal relationship in our world. As an Animal Advocate the increased awareness of animal suffering at the hands of mankind seems to be getting more publicity -- and support. Petitions are being started on a daily basis to draw attention to things -- and based on what we saw from the exposure of McDonalds poultry attrocities -- they seem to be working. Do you have any comments or insights? Thanks. 

As a vegetarian since I was 19, and now mostly vegan for the past 2 years, I very much appreciate your question!

I think astrologically we can see support for this renewed awareness of the suffering of others -- no matter what species -- from both Chiron and Neptune now being in Pisces. Pisces energy reminds us that we are all One, and so your pain becomes my pain, and vice versa.

As Chiron travels through Pisces (April 2010 through April 2018), we become more aware of the wounds in the world, and our hearts are opened in compassion and with the desire to alleviate suffering. In mythology, Chiron was a centaur -- half man, half horse -- which also reminds us of the connection between humankind and the other animals that share our planet.

And, as Neptune travels through Pisces (2011 through 2026), we become more sensitized and sensitive in many many ways. Hopefully, as a result of this high-heart opening, we also become stronger conduits of the healing power of Divine Source Energy and Love.

Question about Taurus Sun, Scorpio rising

This question arrived in my inbox today:

I had a quick question I wondered if you could help me with: If I am Taurus with Scorpio rising, how can I understand what I read in both charts/horoscopes, if it seems like what is happening in one sign is happening oppositely in the other? For example, they always say I'm supposed to be having a great time when the moon is in Taurus, but honestly, those are some of the worst days -- a pattern I've noticed! Haven't noticed Scorpio moon days being fab, in exchange, either. Do you have any tips for interpreting what I read? Pay more attention to the houses? The aspects?

Astrological interpretation and prediction become much more complicated when two planets or points in our natal charts are opposing each other -- especially when they are both so central to our self concept, as the Sun and the Ascendant are!

Of course, when any transiting planet is conjunct your Sun in Taurus, it is opposing your Scorpio Ascendant, and vice versa. This means that any generalized horoscope you might read for a specific sign is likely to bring up both agreement and opposition within you.

It would be interesting to notice how you feel when the Moon is in complementary aspect to both your Ascendant and Sun -- so, when it is in Cancer (trine your Ascendant, sextile your Sun), Virgo (sextile your Ascendant, trine your Sun), Capricorn (sextile your Ascendant, trine your Sun) or Pisces (trine your Ascendant, sextile your Sun).

You can also watch how it feels when other planets are in those signs -- but, of course, their effect will also depend on the placement of other planets in your birthchart, especially the Moon. Like many (or most) of us, you have a complicated chart, one that can't be easily contained in a "one size fits all" horoscope.

As for which general horoscope to read, I think you'll always find both the Taurus and Scorpio predictions a bit "off" from your experience!

In the silence

I know it's been a long time since I've posted to this site, and my apologies for that! It's not that I don't think about it, and I think of all of you often and fondly...

But transiting Saturn is both conjunct my Ascendant and square my Midheaven right now (and conjunct my Neptune and square my Uranus), so my work and personal lives are filled to the brim -- there just hasn't been that extra space and energy available for posting regularly here.

I'm always happy to answer specific questions, so please email me if there's an astrological/metaphysical thought or question you have that isn't being addressed in my weekly Journals, and I'll do my best to add a post here in reply.

And, I'm assuming things will lighten up eventually! Perhaps once Saturn goes direct (end of June), those of us with strong Saturn transits going on will start to breathe a little easier. But then again, the energy of these transits won't be wrapped up until the last pass of Saturn through the final degrees of Libra in September/October, which means we may have a bit to wade through, still.

So, my condolences to all who have planets, Ascendant or Midheaven in late degrees of the Cardinal signs (Libra, Cancer, Aries and Capricorn)! I can relate to what you're going through...

Blessings,

Pam

Precession of the Ages

I received a question by email today that I thought might be on others' minds as well:

Very interesting reading about the upcoming shift to Neptune in Pisces and I appreciate the way you are breaking it down. However, the following paragraph has me confused. I kept reading it over and over. Is it possible that the two signs were transposed?

As we shift INTO the Age of Aquarius, Neptune will be helping us release those roles, allowing us to shift into the knowing that each of us has the awareness and insight necessary to guide our lives.This enables us to hold compassion and understanding in very different ways, and even more powerfully than before.

Thank you for your work...

Here was my answer:

Thanks for your question!

The astrological ages go in reverse direction through the zodiac. It has something to do with how our galaxy moves through the universe -- but please don't ask me to give you the scientific explanation!

What that means is that as we leave the Age of Pisces, we are entering the Age of Aquarius. Before the Age of Pisces was the Age of Aries, before that the Age of Taurus, etc. In each of the ages, religious imagery has emerged that corresponded with the zodiac themes (such as the Golden Calf for the Age of Taurus, the Ram's Horn and Sacrificial Lamb in the Age of Aries, and the Christian use of Fish symbology in the Age of Pisces).

I hope that helps!

Blessings,

Pam
