Lunar Eclipse Full Moon and Venus Passage and Astrology Forecast June 3-9

by Leo Knighton Tallarico

We are in a most important and powerful time period.

A Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Sagittarius is this Monday June 4 at 7:12 AM EDT.  This Eclipse makes an intense T-square with Mars in Virgo, and on the same day Neptune changes directions- going from Direct to Retrograde.   A rare Venus Passage is on June 5.  While Venus is Retrograde it passes between Earth and the Sun.

Things are shaking up now.   It is wise to let go of any rigid agendas.  The Full Moon Eclipse, Neptune, and a prominent Venus all suggest giving up the controls of left brain order and logic.   The less rational side of life is more powerful now.   The chaotic creative aspect is more powerful.

This does not mean you need to worry about what is going to happen. It does mean it is important to trust the process, trust the flow of Universal cycles to bring you and all of us to just where we need to be now.

In the process there may be glitches to what we have planned, disruptions to our “normal” habits and ways of being.

In the bigger picture we are moving out of of of an old Paradigm and programmed way of thinking and living our lives.  This changing of the picture of how to live life has been happening for awhile. Yet each time there is a big planetary shift as there is now, the shifting tides get stronger and our old programs get weaker.

The old economic paradigm, which sold us all on the idea that our homes would always be a good investment that would always bring monetary profit, turned out to not be true.  In so many cases people have lost value on their homes.

And now we are apparently entering another wake-up call in our economy as we find out that there is no real recovery from the recent economic downturn.    Europe is on the edge of disaster, China and other recently big growth economies are slowing down appreciably.  The USA job market has slowed again.     We are on the verge of a huge economic and world transformation, as we transition more rapidly now from an old Pisces Age to a new Aquarian Age.

The Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 14+ degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius is square Mars in Virgo.  This combination gives an emphasis on sorting through information, communications and events, trying to make sense or find clarity and solutions and meaning.   Clarity may be illusive.

It is best now to let things go wand stop trying so hard. You do not need to know right away and you do not need to control so much.  The way you have usually perceived your reality is changing now.

It is time for new ideas, new viewpoints, opening your mind and heart to other ways of perceiving, outside your usual boxes.

This current Venus Passage actually began in June of 2004, when Venus then passed between Earth and the Sun.  This Passage now is the completion of the cycle.  So Venus, the Goddess of Love, who is retrograde as it alway is during a Venus Passage, is in the spotlight of our lives now. The last one was in 1874/1882.

It is time to trust the heart more, to trust its wisdom and intelligence which is often in our conventional world not respected as highly as the mind.

“The heart has a mind of its own”, so to speak,  and understands connections in way that the brain never could. Everything cannot be “figured out” logically, there is a mystery of life that our mind can never comprehend in its usual ways.

The heart is a pathway to our souls and to the soul of nature and life.    There is a web of connection for people, from past lives, from alternative realities, that we cannot truly grasp with our minds alone.

This Heart teaches us to trust the unknown, to believe in something we cannot measure and delineate.

This Heart of life is Love, a knowing that all is connected and there is nothing to fear.  The right people at the right time in the right place will come your way.  And sometimes it is time to let someone go, to let the Universe in its loving arms carry them away.

Love lets go and love embraces, each in its own time.

So now with a Full Moon in Eclipse, which gives the Full Moon so much more strength; and mysterious and flowing Neptune changing directions; and a Venus retrograde Passage, let go of your controls and trust.

Your relationships now will be shifting also, as Venus rules heart issues. Relationships of all kinds are ready to wake up to new ways, new patterns.  The old ways that are not working want to break down, so breakthroughs can happen.

And not just with relationship.  Breakthroughs are ready for you in other ways also.   Your mind may find it difficult now with your usual thinking and communication.  And in that difficulty new ideas and perspectives may erupt in your consciousness. New inspirations may appear.

In the greater world dramas, everything is shaking up in a big way. The Powers that Be need to convince us that nothing ever really changes. If the economy is low it always bounces back they say.  The dollar is the main currency of the world, it is assumed. The western world is the great power of the world.  What you hear on the TV is the voice of reality.

This reality that is imposed on you is breaking up rapidly.  The Arab Spring has brought a new season to Egypt and the Middle East, but the old powers are refusing to budge.     This is true all over the world. The old powers refuse to budge and refuse to let in the waves of change into a New Paradigm and Age.

But their damns of resistance are showing huge cracks and holes, and steams of new consciousness and ways of being are gushing through.   Syria and Iran represent cracks in the damn that the Powers are anxiously tring to close.   This is all coming rapidly to a breaking point and war will soon spread out all over the Middle East and seep into all our lives.

This conflict and the breakdown of the old economy usher in the New Age.   Culture Wars in the USA will break out as this happens.  Liberal Power bases and Conservative Power bases will be in greater conflict.  Remember that both are run by special interests and big money.

It is best to stay out of the conflict and to remember that the New World is about the new connections, the web of connection, about that which unites us all as one family. In the new world we are looking to heal and transform and bring together.  Some people will not respond to that, and you need to not engage with them.

Unity does not mean that everyone will wake up all at once and sing Kumbaya together.  It means that each, in his or her own time, will hear the trumpet of awakening into the new consciousness and living.   And it is best to find those “birds of a feather” now to connect with.

Resist the temptation to convince others of the way you have found. Only those whose minds and hearts have opened to the new lights, even if ever so slightly, will respond favorably to you and what you are speaking.  The others will just bring you down with their skepticism and closed hearts.

So open your own mind and heart now to the powerful plantary movement. You are ready to evolve to another level. Let go of what in your mind, heart and consciousness needs to go. Release. Do not hold on tightly to that which is ready to go, no matter how familiar and secure it may feel.

We are all being asked to trust more, to let go of limiting fears, and to  move forward with our lives.

See you next week,

Leo

More Volcanoes, More Uranus in Aries changes, and Astrology Forecast for May 30-June 5

By Leo Knighton Tallarico

The power of the Earth has spoken again.  Since Uranus entered Aries Thursday, for a mostly 8 year stay, 2 volcanoes have erupted- in Guatemala and  in Ecuador.

In Guatemala, the Pacaya volcano began spewing lava, rocks and debris on Thursday, the day of the Uranus entry, killing at least two people and injuring more than 50 others.

In Ecuador, the  Tungurahua volcano has forced the evacuation of seven villages and shut the airport and schools in Guayaquil, the country’s largest city.

These volcanoes follow close behind the Iceland volcano eruption this spring, which closed many European airports for extended periods of time.   Taken together with the powerful earthquakes that have occurred this year, most notably the devastating one in Haiti, we are collectively experiencing more natural disasters than usual.

As we have spoken of many times before in this blog, this spring and summer 2010 are meant to bring much transformational change to our earthbound human family.   And now with Uranus recently moved into Aries and soon to be joined by Jupiter in Aries on June 8; the changes accelerate.

And then this summer, energies intensify even more as there is a Lunar Eclipse Grand Cross on June 26; followed by a Solar Eclipse on July 11; and a Cardinal T-Square in late July/early August with Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and Uranus.

Natural upheavals will not be the only upheavals we experience.   Like the horrific  BP oil spill and our current economic downfall, other “man-made” disasters await us.

We are at human judgement day, so to speak, as we change ages from a Pisces Age to an Aquarian Age.   As with all age changes or any kind of powerful transitions, there can be enormous birth pains.   And while the new age is in the birth canal, we all as a human family make intention for our new age.

What do we release from the last age that does not serve our evolution as a species or our citizenship in our Earth community?   What do we bring with us?   The awaiting challenges will force us to look deeper at who we are, where we have come from, and where we want to go.

Do we want to continue our paradigm of dog-eat-dog survival of the meanest and greediest?  Do we want to continue to see ourselves as separate from one another, as often times enemies who destroy one another?  Do we want to continue a world of privilege for some and poverty and suffering for others?

Do we want to continue to destroy our Earth and its creatures in order to satisfy our selfish desires?  Do we want to continue a predator/prey mentality within our human family that destroys many souls and lives of both the predator and prey?

Do we want to continue to allow our privileged members of society to use others for their own gain? As such can we continue to give privilege to priests and other clergy who molest and destroy the lives and trust and hearts of innocent children?

The Universe will bring us new challenges, which will assist us in releasing old ways that no longer serve our human and Earth community.  These challenges will come in the form of more more economic upheaval, which will give us more creative ability to create a better, more fair and just financial system.

We will deal with more man-made karmic disasters like the recent oil spill, which can motivate us to create better environmental structures and controls, and new alternative energy sources.

We will deal soon with threats of new wars that have the potential to be world wars. These threats may take us to know the fear of nuclear warfare.  Will we then as a result make a true commitment to rid our world of weapons of mass destruction as well as rid our world of the need to destroy others who we compete with or do not understand?

Are we ready to embrace the knowledge that we are all ONE FAMILY on a precious and beautiful Earth, in an awesome and complex Uni-verse?

As you personally embrace this ONENESS, this diversity in unity, as you embrace your authentic and sacred self in this greater community; you then can expect more magic and synchronicity, more feelings of love, more knowing of truth.  You will be more motivated to do your part in contributing to the New Aquarian Age upon us.

Astrology Forecast for May 30-June 5

Saturn, also known as Chronos, signifies time and the limitations time presents us with. On Sunday May 30 Saturn goes direct. It has been retrograde since January 13.  When it goes direct, it is as if Time marches forward again.

There can be a sense then of getting one’s life together or doing what you need to do.  There can be a feeling of increased responsibility, or for some an event occurs that feels somewhat fated or meant to be.   But overall there is sense of not being able to run away from something. It is time to get started with what one may have been putting off or procrastinating about.

Saturn direct can also feel very grounding, and give us order and structure to our lives now.  We are letting go of things that time tells us are ready to end, and we are ready to march forward into something new.   IT IS TIME.

The next day on Monday Neptune changes directions also, but is going from direct to retrograde. Neptune in the air helps us lay back and open up to that which is greater than our selves. It can be a turning more to the Universe or God or Goddess, more to our own inner worlds and dreams.

Together, Saturn and Neptune frequencies now bring us a slow down energetically, a time to ponder and plan.  Others will find this combination a time to feel obligation or guilt, before they are ready to move forward with their lives.

And move faster-forward we are bound to do soon. Jupiter goes into Aries on June 6 and joins Uranus in Aries on June.

These movements are bringing us to new beginnings, to breaking outside our usual boxes of of life, to break down old patterns that no longer serve our growth and progress. It is a time to embrace our independence and strength, to fight for what we believe in, to expand our horizons.

Many more world and personal changes are coming our way.  We can, as a result,  break the chains that bind us now, and liberate our hearts, souls and minds from old conditioning and programming and dysfunctional patterns of behavior.

See you next week
