Kaleidoscope Consciousness and Astrology Forecast May 19-25

by Leo Knighton Tallarico

A kaleidoscope of shifting consciousness is upon us.  Be present for the shift as much as you can, as there are plenty of nuggets of information and changes in awareness coming our way.

Within this shift there is a losing trust in government and the established world,  ’60s revolutionary drumbeats, as we enter a powerful week of planetary action.

Uranus square Pluto is exact on Monday May 20. Of course we know this aspect of 2012-2015 is the first major meeting of Uranus and Pluto since they were conjunct in 1965-66, which set off the huge wave of revolution and evolution in the ’60s and ’70s.

If you are zoned out on your computer or video games, in any way in your own personal bubble of protection, sleepwalking through your life, you will miss the magic and mystery swirling through our lives.

This coming week brings the Universe’s can openers popping open our minds, so we will open up any closed down belief systems or attitudes.

Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, no more life in that duality belief system.  Both Big Corporate and Big Government are corrupt and vie with each other for dominance over our minds, hearts, and souls.

There is always an interaction, on this rung of consciousness in Earth reality, between freedom and gravity.   Gravity keeps us here in Earth reality to do what we came here to do.  Freedom allows us to find our own way, guided by our souls and the Universe.

But governments, corporations, dictators, kings and queens from the past have convinced us they control the force of gravity.  And as such they have set up a dominance over our minds, hearts, and souls.  They seek to keep us in their hold by programming us with rules, regulations, and guilt that defines beliefs and attitudes.  Our loyalties are to states or families or churches that seek to tell us who we are, who we should be, and what we need to believe.

But now walls are coming down, and will come down faster and faster.   Fear not, the world is not ending, but the world as you know it is.

These walls are mainly in your consciousness, that is where the transformation seeks to bring in new light.

President Obama, when he spoke before being first elected as President, sounded like Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln all rolled up into one.  For me personally, he was Abraham Lincoln reincarnated.  But who is he now?

If Lincoln, he has been dropped into the modern era in America, no longer a country fighting to be whole and connected to its founding values of “liberty and justice for all”.

Now America is an Empire, dominated by( as President Eisenhower called it), the “Military Industrial Complex”, something he said would usurp our liberty and American values, and take the power away from the people.

Obama no longer is that shining light of inspiration, whoever his soul truly represents.    He is part of our disillusion now, motivating us to look beyond the saviors of the Pisces Age, and to find our redemption in ourselves, in “we the people”.

You can expect events to occur in the world now that will help us to let go of any beliefs and attitudes that keep us holding on to our familiar security blankets.

More and more it is easy to see that the people who are running our world are not who we thought they were.  Did you know this past week President Putin of Russia told our American leaders that the bee population was becoming destroyed because of genetically modified seeds and the pesticides we are using?

You do know our government and President Obama allowed a bill to be passed, one that had a rider attached that allows for more power of Monsanto and  other corporations that produce GMOs?

There is more disillusion for our institutions as we learn about unfair practices of the IRS, the Justice Department intrusions of the AP, and a cover-up in Benghazi, Libya.

There is war heating up for Syria and Iran and maybe even North Korea, which would take our eyes off the ball of these scandals.

Our world is transforming out of an old Pisces Age of over 2000 years and into an Age of Aquarius, establishing itself, in my estimation, after December 2020, when Jupiter will conjunct Saturn at 0+ degrees of Aquarius.

Much turmoil, as there was in the 60s, much disillusion of our world establishment, will keep increasing and opening our minds and hearts to new ways.

We are in the process of being Awakened!   Do not be surprised if soon new events will totally blow our minds open and show us new realities.

The old world programming into us a certain Paradigm for Reality is breaking apart.    New world events will show us new possibilities for how our world began or what makes it run.    Nature or Nurture? is a limited belief system that does not allow for the fact that our souls are already “mature” when we are born, formed by past lives and other factors we do not completely understand.   Astrology, for instance, shows us we are a soul with varying energies and patterns when we take our first breath.

Evolution or Creationism is another limited concept that presents an obsolete battle between science and religion.   Neither is correct, there is another way to view our origins and development.

And how about the fact that we are trained to be so self-centered in our views of life in the Universe.   There is life in many places in this Universe, and soon we will know without doubt that this is true.   UFO’s and life from other realms of the Universe, from other dimensions in our consciousness, will be making some grand appearances before too long.  This by itself would change our programmed Paradigm by leaps and bounds, on a scale even greater than when we learned the world was round not flat.

This week brings a groundswell of planetary aspects for this Spring Eclipse Season 2013:

On Sunday the 19th Jupiter is conjunct the USA natal Mars from its birth date of July 4 1776.  Transiting Mars will follow at the end of June with another conjunction of the USA natal Mars.   During the time in between, the USA military might, its gun issues, and violent tendencies will be in the spotlight with powerful events occurring. Look for signs and synchronicities over the next couple of days as to what may be coming.

On Monday the 21st is the Uranus/Pluto square, this on the day the Sun moves out of Taurus and into Gemini.

The Sun in Taurus brought us into the physical, material side of life, and as a fixed Earth sign helped us to make things real and practical.  Now with the Sun moving into Gemini, our minds open up to the possibilities, as we take in new information, and vary our interests.

We are more mentally active, and may need to communicate and socialize more.

That Sun in Gemini will keep moving through Gemini until it gets to around 4 degrees of Gemini just after midnight, at 12:25 AM EDT on Saturday May 25.  At that time the Moon will be exactly opposite at around 4 degrees of Sagittarius.  This forms a Full Moon.  And since the Earth’s shadow will block the Sun’s light from the Moon, it is a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse.

This is the last of the eclipses in this Spring Eclipse Season 2013, though the intensity and totality of the Eclipse Season will not be over for a few more weeks   This eclipse can be seen in America, but it is a penumbral eclipse, one not easily ascertained by the naked eye.

It will nevertheless still be strong in its effects, and will tend to open us up energetically, spiritually, and mentally. This is not an “uptight” eclipse, not one that will bring gut-wrenching emotions of deep intensity.

It should instead bring an opening of the faucets of information and inspiration.  The difficulty for some will in balancing the tide of information and feelings with finding solution, answers and meaning.

It may be easy to be confused or overwhelmed as Pandora’s box opens, and therefore a challenge to bring things together in a cohesive and clear wholeness.

Yet for others this will feel like open channels of information and inspiration, new revelations, new ideas, and great communication with others.

So this week ahead shifts the tides again, and brings us to more active and open energies.

Remember that overall what is most important is that our consciousness is changing, our lives are transforming.

It is most important to be present, to stay aware, to be in the moment as much as possible now.  The Universe and your inner light will show you the way, no matter what is going on around you.  So being aligned and centered will do that for you.    Getting more serious about your meditative practice can only help now.

See you next week,

Leo

Spring Eclipse Season 2013 Continues, and Astrology Forecast may 12-18

By Leo Knighton Tallarico

We have a lot more to go before Spring Eclipse Season 2013 is over.  There is a third eclipse on May 24/25, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini/Sagittarius. There also is another exact pass of powerful and transformational Uranus square Pluto on May 20.

Many personal lives during this Eclipse Season have become very unsettled.  People have seen big red flags go up over various issues in their lives. Some have experienced threats to their usual ways of doing things, new doubts or breakdowns in their relationships, challenges over their security, jobs, or careers.

Some are seeing new possibilities now, breakthroughs out of old stuck places have given new hope.

So many know they are in transition in their lives, ending an old chapter, and moving into a new phase of life.

If something is not right in your life, if it is not aligned with the evolving YOU on your soul path, then it is ripe to be released.  Can you hold onto that which is not aligned for you? Sometimes yes, but perhaps that means you will not progress and evolve as you would like.  Security or change?   Which way to turn?

If what you are hanging onto for security no longer has any spirit or life in it anymore, then you know what price you have to pay to hold on.  Your soul will continue to die, your light will get more dim.

On the other hand, if the change will bring you to complete chaos in your life, with no practical way forward, then how can you go forward?

Perhaps the situation or relationship does not have to be let go.   Instead maybe old beliefs or dysfunctional patterns of behavior or communication can be transformed, so there is a rebirth and a relighting of the flame of spirit.

But if there is a need to truly let go of the relationship or job or home, then the best scenario, one that is usually what happens when change is right, is that you let go of that which has lost its light for you; and you make strong intention to the Universe and your self to make new possibilities work for you.

If what you are choosing is right for your evolving soul, then soon you will find the Universe and your own ingenuity bringing you the practical solutions you require. Maybe the new situation will not have everything you want, but will have enough of what you desire for you to take the leap of faith.

As you make your personal life changes during this Spring Eclipse Season, you are aligned with what is happening in the “heavens” too as the planetary aspects show us accelerating change.  Of course the greater world is also in the process of big change.

As you watch our dysfunctional government, as you watch our lives get more and more controlled by big money interests, as you watch people commit  abusive and violent acts on one another, as you see different religions and countries and peoples filled with such venom for one another, as you witness more and more people escaping into their own personal bubbles of drugs or alcohol or electronics, etc.;  the proof that our world is ripe for powerful transformation is all around us.

The Eclipse Season began at the New Moon in Aries on April 10.  5 days later there was the Boston Marathon bombing.    On April 25, on the first actual eclipse, the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio, it was announced that there was proof that Syria had used chemical weapons.  That was important as President Obama had previously stated that if Syria used chemical weapons it would be a “game-changer”, meaning the USA would then need to get more deeply involved in the crisis.

That has not happened yet; but then last week, just 4 days before the next eclipse, a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus, Israel most dangerously dropped bombs just outside Damascus Syria, invading that sovereign country for what it determined were for its security needs.

This country of Syria has become a crucible for the future state of the Middle East and the world.  The planetary aspects from now till mid July promise powerful events surrounding Syria, events which could destabilize the Middle East region and the world.   Transiting Jupiter conjuncts the natal USA Mars in late May and is followed by transiting Mars conjunct that same spot in the zodiac, at the USA Mars of 21 degrees of Gemini,  at the end of June.  The USA becoming involved in some kind of a military adventure or action is likely soon.

The Military/Economic Empire that dominates this world is in a quandary about Syria.   A full blown war will destabilize the world, and cause havoc to the world economy, something they would hate to happen.  But they also see an opportunity to gain control of a crucial spot of the world.  If they gained control of Syria, then they would have a stronger foothold in the much coveted Middle East, and they would weaken the strength of Iran, seen as a threat to the Military/Economic Empire.

But Syria is a really complicated problem, as the so-called rebel faction fighting the government of Syria is made up to a large degree by AlQueda and other fundamentalist Muslim forces. This is a complicated civil war going on in Syria.

And countries Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Iran, Lebanon and others have stakes in the outcome of this conflict.  So any match lit there could bring great fires of conflict, which would disrupt the global economy and oil markets.  Pandora’s box would open and nothing would be easily solved.

So world powers do not know what to do.  If Israel bombs Syria one more time, however, then for sure Syria will retaliate. Many other possibilities could also bring conflict.   A major world conference to solve this Syrian problem is also in the works.

The transformation of the Middle East is inevitable as part of the changing power structure of our world.  It is where most of our world’s major religions were born and where many of our first civilizations were created.  What happens there will clear out much of the negatively violent old paradigm rules for living on the Earth. That paradigm includes much fear and mistrust for another; intolerance for those who are different or believe differently; a sense that some people or races or religions are superior to others.

For us to create a world of equality, of fairness and caring, one whose foundations are built on Love and Truth, we need to clear out and release the old world’s dysfunctions and toxicity.

So you can expect over the next few years and especially over the next year or two, much turmoil and chaos in the greater world.  For the Military/Economic structure of our world to transform so all the peoples of this world are served, not just those with money and privilege;  you can imagine how much disruption of the status quo must happen.

But this also means that people are waking up all over the world.  And it will take “we the people” of this world to truly heal the world and transform it.  And we do that by healing and transforming our own self  first.    As you honor your authentic self and then naturally honor everyone else’s authentic self, you are by the law of attraction helping to build our Aquarian Age, an age of Love and Truth, an age of Diversity in Unity, an age whose time has come, and will arrive more fully in 2020-21.

As the old world burns out, we are each an integral part of a new creation on this Earth, and Age of Aquarius.  We are each cleaning out our old programming, our wounds and toxins. We are opening to the collective Soul Source, to our own individual light, to the Love and Truth that keeps the wheels of the Universe turning.   There is no stopping this train of evolution.

Keep your seat belt on this Eclipse Season and ride the changes with trust and faith.

See you next week,

Leo

Solar Eclipse New Moon in Taurus and Astrology Forecast May 5-11

By Leo Knighton Tallarico

Until Thursday May 9 this week , when the New Moon Solar Eclipse gets the ball rolling forward, we are moving down through a darkening moon time period.  Let your self come down into your body and soul now, nothing too elevated is recommended.

As you come down and have been coming down into your body and soul, you may experience discomfort, anxiety, difficult feelings.  The eclipses and other strong planetary aspects are shaking things up, urging us to transform and heal.   The discomfort is an urging to get out of comfort zones, as the old plateau you have been living your life on may not be quite right anymore.

Your body and soul feelings are wanting to be noticed and nurtured as things are shifting.  The body of your life, the material and physical parts of life are calling for attention.

This is because there are 4 planets in fixed earth Taurus now: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars.  And at the New Moon Solar Eclipse this Thursday there will still be 4, as the Moon will join the Sun in Taurus, but Venus will leave Taurus to enter Gemini.

So your body, your home, your finances, your land may be issues to concentrate on now.  The practical grounded side of life is calling us more.  Yet, since there is so much shifting beneath the surface, such deep transformational change, being grounded may feel uncomfortable for some.

Extremely sensitive people may now be feeling shifts in the Earth if there are earthquakes coming soon, which may very well be the case.  They also may be feeling all the building turmoil, especially now in the Middle East and Korea.

There is a growing possibility now that the Middle East will have a huge breakdown of its current structure and power balance.    Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Iran, and other countries may soon be drawn into a big conflict.  The USA could then be motivated to engage its military strength there also.  This could all occur during Spring Eclipse Season or just after in the early summer.   It is truly a tinder box in the Middle East, and even a small match of conflict can ignite a huge fire of war. Korea is also a tinder box now.

If something does happen soon, remember that this is all part of a disintegration of the world’s paradigm and structure, as we move from an old Pisces Age to a new Age of Aquarius.

The western world and America especially are in the process of losing their dominance over world affairs.  The years of colonization have ended, and many of the countries who were controlled or dominated during those times are fighting for independence and freedom to find their own destiny without outside influence.

And each world citizen, including those of us in the western world and America, is wanting to break the chains of programming from the paradigm created by society.   We want to be free of corporate and government corruption, dominance, and dysfunction.

In an Aquarian Age we want to own and honor our true individuality, not to be what will fit into the needs of the state or corporate interests.  We want our purpose to come from the voice of our soul, the calling from the Universe, the needs of our Earth and human community.

The challenge is that we need to make a living, have a roof over our heads, and feed ourselves and our families.   That societal structure that needs to disintegrate and transform is, on a practical level, providing much of our semblance of security.  So it is easy to be tempted by fear, as the familiar world we have relied on for our stability, is in big trouble.

Our government is really dysfunctional. Our economy is presented to us through smoke and mirrors, as in reality it is being held together with scotch tapes of printed money.  We are trillions of dollars in debt, much of it owed to a thriving China.

Our military is spread thin over much of the world, getting out of two wars, but ready now to start new ones, as we continue to get involved in the business of other countries, cultures, and peoples.

In an Aquarian Age, as is aligned with the sign Aquarius, we will build a multi-polar world free of empires and superpowers.  We will build a world of equals born into a paradigm of Diversity in Unity.    As is written in the founding documents of the Moon in Aquarius United States, “all…are created equal, with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”  And of course self determination is also a  value from those documents.  Those values come from the Universe, for all peoples, not just Americans.

Aquarius is also about power to the people, not kings and queens, or dictators, or governments, or corporations.  We are each free and responsible for our selves, our role in our human family, our Earth, and our connection and alignment with the Universe.

So as these Eclipses bring more and more disruptive energies, remember they are meant to help us to untie the knots that control our soul’s true path, not the path programmed into us.

When you begin to feel the anxiety from the shifting in our world and your personal life, remember that we live in a meaningful Universe.  As such the changes are meant to be, meant to help each of us to evolve, to move more fully into our authentic self and soul.

Each of us is safe in the arms of the Universe, and as we find alignment and centeredness, connection with source and soul, we will find our way, no matter what is changing around us.   Meditation, spiritual practices, spiritual guidance, therapy, healing, nature, inspirational people and readings are ways to keep you on your path.

Being with people or in situations that breed fear, lack of trust, cynicism, co-dependence, or attachment to rules and judgments that keep you controlled, are not good for you now.   Keep your self surrounded with people and situations that help you to stay on your path.

So this week Thursday May 9 brings in the second of three eclipses this spring, a Solar Eclipse New Moon in Taurus at 8:28 PM EDT.  What was begun or conceived last month, will want to be made real this lunar month.   It is time to manifest what you were motivated to do last month.  If something broke down recently in your life, this new lunar cycle begun at the Solar Eclipse this Thursday will help you to move forward to new horizons.

It will help you to make real what you have been visualizing or intending.  Remember the winds of change are strong, so know the Universe is supporting your efforts, especially so if your heart is leading you and your mind has agreed too.    Let your heart lead, but make sure you are covering the practical concerns too.

One more eclipse will follow on May 25, a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon again, as there was on April 25. This time the Lunar Eclipse will be in Gemini/Sagittarius.

See you next week,

Leo

Holding On or Letting Go and Astrology Forecast April 28- May 4

By Leo Knighton Tallarico

We have made it through the first of three eclipses this spring 2013.  There was much energetic pressure building up to it and on the day of it. Now however,  there seems to be some let up.   But keep in mind we have only just begun the experience of Spring Eclipses 2013.

Many people have been challenged to release and let go.   For some that has played out in their body, which has been clearing out and cleaning out.   For others there has been a push and pull between holding on to a relationship or letting it go.  Others have been letting go of stuff in their house or elsewhere.  Some have been letting go of old beliefs or perceptions or attitudes.

This tug of war between holding on or letting go and releasing comes from the Taurus/Scorpio dynamic of the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon of this last week.  The Sun and Mars were in Taurus opposite the Moon and Saturn in Scorpio.  Taurus possesses and hold on, Scorpio bursts open and releases.

Judging what to hold onto and what to let go is often not easy.  There is a feeling of security in holding onto what one has.  Though it can be difficult to release and let go, there is a feeling of relief when one does.

If a relationship does not work anymore, causes much pain and suffering, and no matter what you do the issues do not change and get better, then it is likely time to let go.

If you have a new life or new love, then though painful, it is time to release and let go of your old life and what came with it.

And of course money and possessions are always tangled up in our attempts to extricate ourselves from old relationships or chapters in our life.  We fear making moves that will make our life difficult, and even fear not being able to make it if we leave that old relationship or job or life chapter.

But if the move is right and aligned, everything will fall into place.  One needs to watch for the synchronicities and signs from the Universe, then make sure you make intention that what you plan to do will be in the best interest of all concerned.

And you will not know exactly how it all plays out, so you must have faith and trust in your own wisdom and the Universe.  It will all unfold in just the right way, unless you are making your moves based on fear or hatred or on a desire to escape or avoid.  You also need to make sure your heart and mind are connected.  Sometimes our heart may tell us something feels right, but actually we are living in a fantasy or seeing only what we want to see.

Sometimes our mind sees only the basic facts or conventional logic and gets us skeptical or fearful of something that is truly aligned and connected and right for us.  So heart and mind or love and truth need to work together.  Then what we see from our own intuition, from the signs and synchronicities, will be aligned and light our way.

You may need to continue the process of getting in touch with what you need to hold onto and what you need to release for a while longer.

This process will help you to be ready for the greater change coming into your life.  As you release the old, you are “clearing the deck” of what is holding you back or weighing you down. And as you do let go you will then be ready to move on in your life, to enter a new chapter or season of your life.

For some the reverse will be happening.  They have been undecided about holding on or letting go of something or someone, and have decided to hold on , at least for now.  Their change then is more about a new lease on an old life, a decision to find a way to make work what has been challenging or difficult.

By the end of May or early June, you will have shifted more toward your new life. Maybe by then you will not be fully engaged with this new life, but you will have done the clean up and releasing.  You will then be ready to embrace the new, at whatever time it comes or whatever form that it manifests as.

So yes the winds of change are strong this Spring Season, and in the greater world this is true also.

The Boston bombing erupted at the beginning of the Eclipse Season and other explosive events have also happened, like the Texas fertilizer plant explosion.

I do expect other powerful world events to erupt this Eclipse Season. Be alert to what may happen with Iran and North Korea, and most especially with Syria. On the exact day of the Scorpio Full Moon Eclipse this past week, President Obama declared that Syria was using chemical weapons in its civil war.  He had previously said that would be a game changer, meaning the USA would then get more deeply involved there.

Also especially large earthquakes or other powerful life changing world events are likely this Eclipse Season, as there will be an exact Uranus square Pluto meeting on May 20, right in between the Solar Eclipse on May 9 and the Lunar Eclipse on May 25.

We are just begun our journey through Spring Eclipse Season 2013.

This coming week of April 28 through May 4, we are in between two Eclipses, in the waning Moon phase of the current lunar cycle begun at the New Moon in Aries on April 10, and which has included the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on April 25.

The last quarter Moon phase begins on Thursday May 2 of this week in Aquarius.  We will be winding down from whatever issues came up during the waxing part of the lunar cycle, that climaxed at the Full Moon last week.

There is a Mars in Taurus opposite Saturn in Scorpio aspect Wednesday May 1, as well as a Sun trine Pluto aspect later that day.  So Wednesday/Thursday could bring a kind of turning point in world or personal affairs, especially around what has been brewing over the last few weeks.

In world affairs there is much more to the Boston  bombing than has come out so far,  much more will be revealed.

In personal affairs, will you keep to the track you have recently gone on or will you reverse direction?   In most cases it will be best to not let anything distract you or get you to change your mind.

The next New Moon and Eclipse will be on May 9.  It will be a Solar Eclipse New Moon in Taurus. More on that next week.

See you then,

Leo

Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Scorpio and Astrology Forecast April 21-27

By Leo Knighton Tallarico

As we have been letting you know, Eclipse Season began with the New Moon in Aries on April 10, followed by Pluto going Direct on April 12.

And of course everyone knows that three days later, on April 15,  there was the bombing horror at the Boston Marathon.  That was followed by an explosion at a fertilizer company in Texas that killed and injured several more people.

The first actual eclipse, of three in a row, is this coming week Thursday April 25.  It is a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Scorpio at 3:57 PM EDT.  There is continued and increasing intensity coming our way over the next several weeks.  In the bigger picture we are in a powerful transformational transition between ages, and the next 5-7 years will be filled with events and energies that are meant to wake us up to change our consciousness and lives.

It is so tempting to fall into old age and old paradigm thinking and to see the bombing at the Boston Marathon as a simple case of the good guys against the bad guy terrorists.   Many people right now will see it that simply.

They will demonize certain countries and cultures, and start or continue to hate and fear Muslims or dark swarthy peoples.

I remember in the ’60s and ’70s and even now for many people, the sight of a black man walking toward them on the street would bring grave fear to their heart.   There is a human tendency to look for enemies or bad people, and to stereotype certain groups as those enemies or bad people.

The events that are and will continue to erupt in our world are not so black and white in meaning.  On the contrary, those who are awakened or awakening view events in a much different manner.

We need to find a way to live together in tolerance, respect, and peace with all peoples on this Earth.  The reasons for “terror” are complicated.

Our society, created in an old paradigm, sets us up (programs us) to believe in certain ways.   Many who see America as part of the problem of terrorism go over the edge, in my estimation, and begin to demonize the President or America.  They believe, for instance that the American government directly caused the 9-11 tragedy by imploding the Towers themselves, and killing the American people so they could further dominate and militarize all our lives.

Talk about demonizing?  That kind of thinking is unhealthy also, as it causes us to hate our own country, and to see enemies and evil people who are separate from us good people again.

It is true when you wake up that you see how colonists invaded and destroyed native culture. You see how we took African people, turned them into slaves to make profit.

You see how we have invaded other countries for oil or resources or geo-political gain.  You see how we killed over 300,000 Japanese with nuclear weapons to end World War II.  You see how our domination of Middle Eastern peoples has brought much hatred against our country and European culture.

But to believe we are killing our own children in Newtown CT., or Boston, or in the twin towers?

Our evolution now into Aquarian Age consciousness depends on our ability to imagine a world of unity, of Diversity in Unity, of Love and Truth married as One, of an Earth and environment that are healthy again.

America is an Empire, it is true.  And Empires dominate the hearts and minds of humans.   But Empires have existed since the beginning of the Pisces Age, when Rome dominated so much of the world.

And when Rome died, it died because its values were becoming corrupt, and this created the “enemies” who invaded and ended the Roman Empire.

But Italy was created in its wake, and still exists today.  The Ottoman Empire collapsed in the Early 20th century, yet Turkey still exists today.

So we are now seeing the Empire of the USA beginning to crumble, as we have been losing the values at the heart of our country’s founding in 1776.

They are such grand values, guided by the hand of the Universe/God.   And now we see an attack on the place where so much of our country’s beginnings were: Boston.

We do not need to come together to fight the enemies in the world.  We need to come together to re-member our values, values that are God given for all humans, not just Americans:  Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness; All Peoples Are Created Equal; Liberty; Self Determination.

Our domination of other peoples and their countries has taken away the freedom all peoples’ need to determine their own fate, and to be free.

This crossroads for all humanity now is not a time for more hatred or for a feeling of military victory.  It is a time to come together as ONE HUMAN FAMILY.

The events that will still be coming our way during this Eclipse Season and beyond are to help us to wake up to the reality that we are one human family, a quite dysfunctional and violent one at times, but one that is evolving and transforming into alignment with an Aquarian Age.

If you need to find demons, look inside your own heart and soul, and see your own shadows.   That 19 year old boy who is suspected of being a bomber is also a victim, a victim of a world that teaches us to be separate and to hate.

There is increased tension coming this week, as we move into the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon on April 25.  More important world events are on the way.  This Full Moon Eclipse is in Taurus/Scorpio, so potential issues to address now are about money and sex, real estate and land, emotional intensity, jealousy and envy, and secrets coming out.

In personal lives now, many have or will be experiencing more turmoil.  What is happening is that the band-aids that were put on serious problems to keep them from bleeding into bigger problems are being stripped away.

Issues that have been previously swept under the rug are being seen again. Relationships are especially vulnerable now to opening of old wounds, and to then question the health and viability of that relationship.

But any area of your life may need transformation now.   If you or someone else has kept important emotions in check, they will be ripe to open up.  If you are unhappy about any situation, events or inner promptings may open up a discussion or change of direction.

Since this is such an important time period for healing and transformation, all cards are wanting to put on the table, so to speak.  If some part of your life is not resolved or understood, circumstances may open issues up so you can subsequently find direction or deeper insight.

It is not a time, over the next several weeks, to keep an unsatisfying status quo.  It is time to untangle your life knots, to accelerate your process of growth, to commit your self to living your life more free, dedicated to love and truth.

It may be time to question your attitudes and beliefs, to question your choices, to look beneath the surface for truth.

Eclipses often bring both breakdowns and breakthroughs.  And if neither of those happen in your life during this eclipse season, then at least it is time to move faster toward what you growing into in your life.

Open your heart and mind now; and at the same time do your best to stay centered and grounded, with healthy boundaries.

See you next week,

Leo

Winds of Change and Astrology Forecast April 14-20

By Leo Knighton Tallarico

The winds of change are blowing strongly now, and will increase in strength as we move further into our Spring Eclipse Season 2013.

Some people, however, are really struggling with letting go.  They are finding it difficult to let go of “how it used to be”.    The stronger the tide of change, the more we need to let go of the past.   And sometimes what we hold onto the most is an old belief or attitude that defined our sense of personal reality.

Perhaps we have been used to having low self esteem, or being abused, or abandoned, or rejected. Or maybe we are used to being popular, or wealthy, or young, or secure in our relationship, or feeling comfortable in our job or home.

What is familiar to us is gives us a sense of safety and security.   Yet change takes us out of our comfort zones, and challenges us to move on from an old phase or season of our life.

And now with change getting more powerful, we have not as much time to process our feelings, or to lick our wounds.   We are or will soon be asked to learn “new dance steps”, to get into new rhythms for our life.   And old emotional baggage weighs us down, and makes it difficult to dance freely into a more liberated life.

This does not mean you should or can avoid your feelings. On the contrary, old emotional wounds may be erupting in your consciousness as change blows in, and cannot be ignored.

The crisis many are facing now demands they move more quickly through the emotional upheavals, however, and let go what cannot be easily healed or resolved, and move forward.

If you have gone back and forth over your issues recently or even for many months or years, it is time now or soon to move on, to act, to decide, to make the best of a situation. Perhaps what you are moving forward into is not the perfect solution or exactly what you wanted. But it is what is right to do now, what fits best of the choices you currently have in front of you.

For some, they will need to move more through this Eclipse Season before knowing fully the direction they need to take.  Nevertheless, it is important to know that you need to release the past, release the way it used to be, so you can more fully embrace what is coming.

The New Moon in Aries last week sounded the alert for change.  This coming week, at or near the second quarter Moon in Cancer on Thursday the 18th, feelings and needs for nurturing may challenge this desire and/or need for change.

But the Sun will conjunct Mars in Aries around the same time, following up on the New Moon in Aries last week, so the force of change will be much more powerful than softer feelings. Nevertheless, the second quarter Moon in Cancer suggests we find time to rest and check in with our feelings.  A recharge of your energy batteries may be needed.

At that second quarter Moon we will only be one week away from the first eclipse, a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Taurus/Scorpio on April 25.  That will be only the first of three eclipses, but it should be quite strong, additionally so as both Mars and Saturn will be in aspect to that Full Moon Eclipse.

In the greater world, military threats are getting stronger, especially as North Korea is threatening and will likely launch missiles soon, perhaps this coming week.  Syria is also threatening to get out of control, and with the Iran talks going nowhere recently, Israel is making plans to destroy Iranian nuclear facilities.   With the USA having its natal Mars aspected by both transiting Jupiter and Mars this spring and early summer, you can count on the USA military muscle being flexed.

These conflicts are meant to shake up our collective sense of reality, to bring out the true intentions of the powers of the Old Paradigm and Age, and to break down the status quo.    This will also inspire many to wake up even more, and to realize how much we all need to be involved in changing the paradigm and creating a New Paradigm and Age.

I am sure most of you who read this forecast blog are aware of how the President and Congress are doing their best to perpetuate the Military/Economic structure that runs our country and so much of the world, even if that means doing what is wrong for humanity.

The Monsanto rider was sneaked through Congress and signed by President Obama. This rider puts Monsanto and their genetically modified foods above the law here in the USA.

Sequestration is beginning to be felt in local communities and personal lives, and people will no longer be able to count on certain services and monies anymore.   But the stock market keeps going up as companies are making huge profits, even as regular people are out of work and/or work so hard to make ends meet.

This manic and out of touch stock market cannot stand for long.  A downfall is likely before the end of the year.

So the changes that are happening in your life are the microcosm or what is happening in our world.  These changes are your opportunity to release what you were conditioned and programmed by society and family to believe about your self and the world.    You do not need to stay in roles that do not truly represent who you authentically are.    You cannot still expect others who do not truly “see” you, to one day accept you and love you the way you want to be loved.

By letting go your expectations of certain people and your self, you become free to self actualize and to draw to your self people who you can truly relate to, and who can relate to you.

If people at work or in your family or your mate or friend treat you badly or cannot relate to you, and have so for a long time; it is time you stop investing your energy and time in trying to change them.   Let go wanting for it to be different, and either accept and make the best of the relationship as it is, or move on from it.

Do your best now to take the ride of change, to let in new ideas, and new ways of seeing your self and life.  You do not need to feel trapped by limited options.  There are always doors of solution that are outside the box.  Black or white options are usually a way of painting your self into a corner of frustration.

Open your heart and mind to what the Universe can bring to you. There are a rainbow of possibilities when you leave either/or consciousness.   You are not meant to be stuck and depressed.   There are no problems without some solution, even if it is not the one you expected.  Life is meaningful and the right direction for you will appear if you know that to be true.

Inaugurating Spring Eclipse Season 2013 and Astrology Forecast April 7-13

By Leo Knighton Tallarico

The winds of change will be blowing in more strongly this week, after the New Moon in Aries Wednesday April 10 at 9:02 AM EDT.   Up to that point we will still be in the last quarter phase of the lunar cycle, a time to reflect and contemplate and get ready for new beginnings.

This New Moon in Aries will effectively be inaugurating Spring Eclipse Season 2013, as this new moon will be the last major lunation prior to the first eclipse of this spring season.   That first eclipse will be two weeks later, a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Taurus/Scorpio on April 25. Then 2 more eclipses will follow:  a Solar Eclipse New Moon in Taurus on May 9, and then a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Gemini/Sagittarius on May 25.

So if you have not yet let go of the winter slumber in your soul, if you still cling to past hurts and wounds, it is nevertheless almost time to let go of those ghosts of the past (as much as now possible) and move forward with your life.

Aries is active, bold, and ready for a challenge.   It is not wise, with all the action and intensity of this Spring Eclipse Season, which begins with this New Moon in Aries, to sleepwalk anymore.  Let go of the emotional baggage as much as possible now, so you can be “on the edge of your seat” and ready to go.

As the New Moon is erupting in Aries, Pluto will slowing down appreciably, which puts its explosive and transformational intensity in the energetic spotlight. Pluto actually changes from Direct to Retrograde on Friday April 12.

So together, the New Moon in Aries and Pluto changing directions, gives a strong chance for conflict.   North Korea is angry, and Israel is getting ready to attack Iran.   Crisis is brewing in Korea. Crisis is also brewing in the Middle East, with Iran and Syria both being potential targets now.    Some kind of attack could very well happen around this New Moon in Aries.

And if it does not, then the next three New Moons: on May 9 (also Solar Eclipse); June 8; and July 8, are also dangerous times of potential attacks.

The USA natal Mars in May and June is being ignited by conjunction with transiting Jupiter and then Mars.   Possibilities of intensified conflicts remain high through Spring and early Summer.

Other very extraordinary world events are likely this spring and early summer also. Expect the unexpected, and be ready to adapt to the changing winds of time.

In your personal life and soul’s journey this week, with the New Moon in Aries, 5 total planets in Aries, the Pluto station, and Saturn in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus in Aries, things could begin to shake up this week.

It is best to be active and alive, and motivated.  If you have been shy and reticent, it will instead be time to assert your self, to speak your truth.   An Aries natural mantra is “I AM’.   To be true to your self and authentic being is in alignment now.   That is more important now than what people think of you or what is socially acceptable.

Of course you can see how this can cause conflict, especially so if people are used to you being always agreeable or accommodating.

This is definitely a week of opening up and being straightforward and direct.

Passions could be high by the end of the week, and it is best to stay aware of what emotions are stirring inside you, to avoid issues getting out of control.

There will be a lot of “fire” stirring in our bodies and souls this week, so staying active is good therapy.  Walking, running, swimming, and just generally being active is good now.

Life is changing now, and there can be a lot of confusion as we get taken out of our normal center.   As issues intensify this spring, remember that what is familiar to us is not necessarily what is good for us anymore.

Life is changing and we are needing to change too.   Who do you feel you need to answer to?   If you are controlled by anyone, they cannot be right for you.  These changing times are meant to help us to liberate our minds, hearts, and souls, and lead our lives as we see fit within the guidance of the Universe or God.

Of course some people can be our mentors or guides at different times in our life, but no one should be controlling you or making you do anything.  You are responsible for your own soul’s journey this lifetime, and you are setting your self up for resentment and victim consciousness if you make anyone else responsible for you, and that includes a spouse, parent, boss, or guru.

Use this Spring Eclipse Season beginning at the New Moon in Aries this week, to shed programming from society and family that keeps you stuck in limiting beliefs about your self, life, spirit, and others.

You are meant to be a free spirit, on a meaningful and sacred Soul Journey.  It is becoming more and more apparent that we cannot trust the mainstream world, its corporate rule, its governments, its media, and its institutions.  We are being forced to turn to our own truth, our own mind and heart and instinct.

We also have a relatively free internet and more and more alternative voices and choices.  More and more people are waking up and you are not alone. There are healers and guides who care and will help you to trust your own heart, mind, and soul.  So you can then find your sense of purpose, the people who are good for you, and your sacred alignment with the Universe.

We are moving together into an Aquarian Age, something that is happening quite naturally. Yet at the same time we must be proactive in its creation, believing and having faith that we are being supported in creating this new world, regardless of the fear and violence and greed that our Old World wants us to believe is Reality. It is in actuality an old paradigm on its last legs, but dangerous as it falls from its heights of hubris.
