Dreaming Divine

This morning I awoke

from a dream,

feeling like a weathered habit

held together by

flesh & grace…

so filled with God even

the emptiness brimmed over.

– Niles Comer, www.paintedsoul.org

Dear Friends and Readers,

We begin the week on a dreamy note, but there is definitely something bitter-sweet about this. It’s about 4:15 PM EST, Sunday, Feb. 7, 2010 as I write this. Venus is now approaching her conjunction to Chiron exact at 6:45 PM EST and then overnight (just after midnight in the NYC) on Monday she conjuncts Neptune in Aquarius coloring the energy over the next couple of days.

There may be painful truths to deal with. But if we can be in no denial now, there is a way to heal from what may have been a difficult past. Chiron’s force can be rapidly transformational and often what we consider our wound turns out to be our gift. Look at the way’s you’ve been hurt in the past — and see how you may project those fears (especially surround rejection or acceptance) onto your present. Or how painful memories or experiences from the past, prevent you from experiencing a deeper intimacy and trust within your relationships today. Only in acknowledgment and self-acceptance can there be a move towards healing, release and renewal.

In Aquarius the danger can be of isolation. We’d rather be alone than risk being hurt. But often to make a heart connection, we have to be the first to open up. As I heard the Dog Whisperer say the other day — any relationship is established by “giving” love first before expecting and then giving mother nature “space” to respond. Financially and emotionally and within relationships — transparency is what is needed rather than blind trust. If there is love, any gap can be can be closed with honesty and understanding. Those who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. Question doubt with projection or unnecessary suspicion but with an attempt to seek and be open to truth. In awareness of our gifts and wounds, we can afford to make choices based in our softer intuitive nature — without falling for a fantasy.

There’s a sense of idealism arising, which can be deeply healing if we make conscious choices in trust and honesty. No doubt this can also be a time to deepen intimacy, get in touch with a deeper soul, divine kind of love (it does not have to be romantic.) This is also extremely creative, imaginative energy — be inspired by a vision that brings beauty, joy and hope to a greater collective. Here is today’s blog from Painted Soul, in line with today’s Venus-Neptune conjunction, reflecting this energy and beautiful truth… Painted Soul: 10 Spiritual “Reminders” for the Journey (and 3 Vows…)

As we move towards the Aquarius New Moon on Feb. 13, 2010 (conjunct Chiron and Netptune,) personal planets Mercury and Venus change signs to Aquarius and Pisces respectively later in the week. Pay attention to the lessons you are learning now, by the end of the week we can get a new start within relationships, financial and creative situations that may seem a little more than chaotic right now. The New Moon brings a chance to make a new start with a new perspective and with refreshed hope in our hearts.

in Love,
Priya

The recent past has taken a lot out of you. You may be dreaming of a sweet escape, while fearing it will need a miracle to free you from a difficult situation.  Now as you see a glimmer of hope emerging on the horizon, you may not yet be sure if you can trust this. You are not stuck as you may have feared and the love or freedom you pray for for is not a far fetched fantasy. Stay true to your heart and allow it to guide when you don’t feel so sure of yourself. Early next week a New Moon, as Mercury and Mars make aspects to Saturn. Overcome your own fears and insecurities and stay grounded in your inner truth. You can see creative ways beyond any roadblock you currently anticipate. You can create the future you dream of, if you can remain open to inspiration.

Be in no denial of your truth, even if you fear rejection. Ultimately you can only be true to yourself - so dive deep to find the yours. This is about you discovering the eternal soulful individual essence of your being and learning to love it.

AQUARIUS

Your recent journey through the abyss has been tricky, but something inside you now can see a way forward. Something or someone touches you deep in your soul this week awakening emotions that you may have long denied yourself the presence of. Or it may be a deeper love and creative vision emerging within you. You stand in a moment of deep and divine self-discovery of your gifts and your wounds. Be in no denial. Your ability to be honest with yourself and love yourself flaws and all, is allowing you to bloom gracefully into the person you were born to be and are becoming. Be inspired by your deepest soulful feelings and creative vision. You don’t need to fear opposition or judgment. Those that love you — will accept you and support you no matter what. But sometimes it means giving others a chance to prove the depth of their commitment to you as well.

FEBRUARY 2010 MONTHLY HOROSCOPES

==

ARIES

You’ve recently learned a few blazing truths about yourself, your heart, its needs and desires. You were indeed born for greater things. Be in no denial now about your need for greater freedom of expression as well as acceptance from your peers. But this will begin with self-acceptance and having confidence in yourself. Be inspired by your own passion, as you share your vision. As long as you can keep an open dialogue there is something very solid and soulful emerging. You have access to a greater pool of resources and more support from partners than you may imagine. This is not about ego, pride or selfish gain — so you don’t have to fear opposition. Trust there are greater benevolent forces acting on your behalf even on days you fear you’re fighting a lonely battle. Focus on the greatest good and that is what you will manifest.

2010 Annual Horoscopes | Weekly Horosocopes | Personal Astrology Consultations

TAURUS

You’ve had to rise above your insecurities and recognize your own power early in the month. Now, you are at the brink of crystallizing an important professional vision. Stay focused and you could be about to stumble on a genius idea whose time has come. It will require dedication to manifest, but you have the support of a close partner where it matters the most. Be led by passion rather than fear. Far from being about any selfish motives, you are learning your own ability to be a voice of truth. Why shouldn’t you be rewarded for your efforts? Success will come as you evolve to accommodate a greater world. You don’t have to fear getting lost in a crowd. Your gift to the world is your soulful wisdom that seeks to liberate and enlighten in soft, gentle, bountiful ways. Trust the Universe is kind, benevolent and the greatest good, includes you. Dare to reach for a great big hope and you could be pleasantly surprised.

GEMINI

You been walking the perilous edge for so long, that it may take you a while to recognize you are actually free. Early in the month brings you an important message from destiny. You don’t need to fear this is the end of the road. Rather just the beginning the journey into your future. The recent past has asked for a core resurrection. Your heart longs for freedom and stability but may be scary to hope again. Keep a higher perspective and an OPEN mind to the events unfolding. You are not trapped, now do you need to fear it. Instead use any anxiety or fear you feel as a clue to open up to inspiration. There are possibilities and horizons opening up, that can stabilize you where it matter most. Speak, truthfully with integrity and think win-win and you could be about to strike a pretty sweet deal. No fear.

CANCER

You’ve had to acknowledge your deepest insecurities recently, which may have left you feeling rather vulnerable and exposed. We can only change what we acknowledge and in welcoming “in” the truth, you’re actually liberating yourself to experience a deeper surrender. Be in no denial about that which needs healing.You have nothing to fear and your dream of deeper intimacy or greater financial solvency are not a far fetched dream. Nor do you have to give up on your personal dreams to please another. As you evolve to an understanding of your own power and worth. You can ask for what you want and need without feeling guilty. If you keep a open dialogue you are more than likely to increase your level of trust. Giving you a firm footing as you start over with a deeply intimate or financial situation. As the dust settles, there’s a sweeter hope dawning.

2010 Annual Horoscopes | Weekly Horosocopes | Personal Astrology Consultations

LEO

A passionate encounter early in the month asked you to get real with yourself about how you feel about someone or something. A situation would benefit from your honesty and more than any judgment you fear. If you encourage an honest dialogue and you are only likely to deepen your level of trust and intimacy. Relationships act as a mirror for our wounds and gifts, so be in no denial of your own. Go deeper into the source to seek healing, rather than project them onto someone else. Financially as well as intimately you are reaching a point of evolution bringing you a chance to experience the richer pleasures making their way into the world. Dare to be honest and clear the air. You are making a new start within your most important partnerships. Rather than anything you fear, the well is deep and bottomless.

2010 Annual Horoscopes | Weekly Horosocopes | Personal Astrology Consultations

VIRGO

You’ve been working through layers of doubt recently regarding a matter close to your heart. This has forced you to dig deep to find your self-worth and take responsibility for your desires. Recognize your own strength and what you have to offer. You are starting a new cycle allowing you to recreate your life as you envision it. Be guided by inspiration not fear. Give to that and those relationships that you value and what you gain will be a recognition of your own undeniable worth. Be in no denial of that or those relationships that need healing. There is nothing that will disappear form your life that you want it to. Be honest of the activities and people that you drain your energy, rather than energize you to be productive. Financially and emotionally seek depth and that’s what you’ll find. You don’t need much — but somewhere in your world is a surplus.

LIBRA

This may seem risky, but as long as you stay grounded in your truth you can find a solution that takes you closer to a cherished dream. You  can’t set sail on a ship with one foot on the shore, so there will be an element of surrender. As long as you are honest, keep an open mind and dialogue you will find more support than anything you fear. Stay strong within who you are and what you are trying to manifest in your world and you can’t fail. This will also mean taking responsibility for the structures that need to be dissolved, if you want to explore the opportunities to expand your world. You have every chance of manifesting a hearts desire, if you can remain aware of it against all odds. Believe in yourself.

Hopefully you’ve risen above your insecurities to see you have the emotional and tangible support you need as you work on fulfilling your ambitions.

You reach a point of deep release this month, starting you on a new cycle of finding your sense of security. Be in no denial of your wounds as well as gifts.

AQUARIUS

You’ve learned a few important truths about yourself in the light of a deeply personal relationship or situation. This is taking you on a journey deep within yourself to a point of crystallization. If you can gain clarity on what you value the most you can manifest it. This is true at anytime but you currently almost have the magical ability to attract that which you desire. Be extremely honest within all your conversations. You may fear or even face opposition but if anything you’ve learned you can’t please all of the people all of the time. All you can do is be a messenger for a greater good. Use your highest sense of judgment as you speak a Universal truth. This is the story of your becoming. It may be painful to look at the ways you’ve been wounded and a partner may just seem to shine a light on these. But in this is also your greatest gift of healing. The deeper you are willing to go in releasing past wounds, the greater you will discover the depth of your worth. Financially as well as emotionally you are due to make a grand discovery.

2010 Annual Horoscopes | Weekly Horosocopes | Personal Astrology Consultations

PISCES

You reach a point of deep introspection this month asking you to become aware of a soul truth. You are becoming increasingly aware of your gifts and your mission. But also be in no denial of any deeper need for healing. Now is not the time to lose focus. There is a genius idea, that could be as lucrative as it is creative. Explore your options and be receptive to your intuition. You may wonder if you have the support you need on this journey. You do, but you will never know unless you voice your doubts and ask for help where you need it. This has little do with pride or your ego, but a greater truth you are creating. It may feel like you are trying to create something out of nothing. But isn’t true creativity comes from — that void of nothingness? Dare to explore your psyche and as you birth a crystal vision. As you expand in your self-awareness make room for a sweeter truth floating into your world.

Hello and Welcome to February!

January’s Eclipses aspects have shifted the landscape. But that’s what Eclipses do — they bring us a recognition of truth as it stands. We always have a choice. We can continue and go back to old patterns. Or we can see with fresh eyes and choose differently in light of what we’ve learned.

On Feb. 3, 2010 Mercury conjuncts the North Node. It moves out of shadow the next day for the first time since Dec. 26, 2010 when it first stationed retrograde.

Expect to have important conversations bringing important messages from destiny. It may feel like we’ve heard it all before. But we aren’t where we were last week, let alone December — which is at least how long ago this story began. Perhaps even further.

Mercury’s aspects this week suggest, it’s time to catch on to the new world we’re in. This week provides a vantage point for the journey into the future. There is a new way forward in an old situation.

Also on Feb. 3, 2010 Venus sesquiquadrate Saturn. It may feel like being on perilous edge with certain financial and relationship situations. There’s a sense of having to balance individuality and mutual desires. Perhaps if we find self-acceptance first for our own needs, we can find a way to stay grounded in reality and truth of the matter — while being open to new ideas. Be creative, but stay focused on goal you are working towards. The process of creation starts with an idea, but needs a level of time, commitment and dedication to manifest into the physical.

But certainly the big aspect unfolding this week is Jupiter’s sextile to Pluto in Capricorn on Feb. 6, 2010. When major outer planets make aspects, the effects linger longer than just a day — so we are likely to feel the effects for a few weeks. But still this a rare aspect, offering rare opportunities that may not come along again in our lifetimes.

This aspect feels like watering and seeding, a recently plowed land with grand dreams. Pisces is the sign of cosmic consciousness. It brings an “experience” of “the magical” or God. Magic by definition is the experience of something, that defies logic. But if we look more closely — Magic and Logic are two sides of a coin. This is the polarity of the Virgo-Pisces axis. Virgo represents our most ‘logical nature;’ it is energy that seeks to organize and streamline inner workings on a physical plane — down to the last detail.

Pisces is only the extreme opposite of this energy, which can’t be understood by logical thought — rather a full bodied experience, soaking and floating in inspiration. If we keep trying to figure something out, often the magic is lost. Magic or intuition is not meant to be “understood.” We can only experience, trust and allow it to move us. With Jupiter in Pisces this is an expansive influence asking us to be imaginative  and explore the infinite possibilities. But also be aware of the danger of getting lost in a fantasy and hen being disillusioned.

Pluto in Capricorn has asked for an evolution of past structures, ideologies. The global economy is changing. Unemployment is as high as it’s been and corporate structures are feeling the stress of this climate. The old idea - “I have a job - so I have security” is gone. But if you think about it — as scary as this may seem. It is ultimately liberating one to find the highest essence of their own personal wealth and worth.

As Jupiter sextiles Pluto — Be very conscious of your desires. If we can be realistic, we can room to explore a soulful vision in this extremely alchemical climate. With Mercury’s aspects this week, of all the possibilities there’s at least one idea that’s pure gold.

On another note — the 2010 Annual Horoscopes are UP! If you ordered them and have NOT received the Passwords — please check your spam box or email me at priya@priyakale.com and I will send it right away.

It’s been a long road, but well worth it… I’ll be back shortly with February Horoscopes and a peak into my mail bag with feedback on the horoscopes. Or you can scroll down the order page to read User comments and post your feedback. To everyone who commented and emailed me, thank you from my heart for your faith and encouragement.

And last but not least. It’s good to be back.

“You don’t know if it’s fear or desire” — Bono, So Cruel

We’re leading up to one hot heaven of a Full Moon in Leo — exact at 1:17 AM EST; 6:17 AM UT; 4:17 PM AEST on Jan. 30, 2010. I’m pretty sure we’ll all catch the show where ever we are. With the Moon in Leo and it’s gonna be show-time even during the day time.

No doubt emotions are bubbling and passions run high.  Keep some level of calmness and consciousness as you burn through the insecurities. With the Sun and Venus in Aquarius, this could really clear the air. Over the weekend Saturn squares Pluto and the Sun opposes Mars in Leo. So expect to be feeling the energy through the weekend. This is the second Saturn-Pluto square, unfolding a greater process which began November last year.

We can see the first signs of what took seed two weeks ago with the Annular Eclipse and New Moon in Capricorn. Also next week Jupiter in Pisces sextiles Pluto in Capricorn. This is can be hugely evolutionary energy. But for that there will also be a willingness to dissolve the past and be open to the serendipitous opportunity. But again look around us, “this world is changing fast.” [I said this so often in the first round of drafts for the 2010 Horoscopes that I got a "editor's note" from Niles.]

By the time of the second set of Eclipses mid-year and the final Saturn-Pluto square, this wheel’s turning around. We can see the very real shift’s of what’s unfolding in this moment now, in our lives and globally. With the Moon and Mars in Leo, and Sun in Aquarius — this is about learning to surrender to the truth of the moment. Acknowledging what we feel honestly, in consciousness of a greater truth of the collective which we are each a part of. There is some comfort in recognizing, if we’re all ‘alone,’ we’re all in it together.  This is true on a personal level in terms of our friends, lovers and family as well as on the larger scale of our role in society and existence.

For now, it’s back to the drawing board for me. I am busy publishing the 2010 Horoscopes, with a lot of help from my friends — so look for those in your Inbox this weekend. Also I have the Weekly Horoscope column to get through tonight, so I’ll be riding this creative wave well into the moonshine. The Weekly Horoscopes will be up sometime tomorrow. There will be no official Moon report this week - but this blog covers it’s essence. And I look forward to getting back to “normal” next week.

For all my friends and family, which includes all of you who read this blog and who’ve been patient with me being a hermit over the past 6 weeks [both in the real world and cyber world]- thank you and I love you and am grateful for you giving me this space.

I wish you all a passionate and compassionate, loving, living, creative, kind and magical Full Moon,

Love,
Priya

Here is a previous post from this week as a re-read.

It’s a big week — but I don’t think you need astrology to tell you that. We leading up to the Leo Full Moon on January 30, 2010 at 1:17 AM EST; 6:17 AM UT; 4:17 PM AEST, as Saturn squares Pluto the next day.

First tonight as Venus opposes Mars in Leo, there could be lover’s quarrels, as well as a recognition of awakening passion and desire. Currently Venus and the Sun are in a close conjunction and the Full Moon this week will be conjunct Mars. There could be tension now, but the energy will release after the Full Moon bringing resolution and release to a lot that seems difficult right now.

This is an internal struggle of readjusting boundaries, releasing guilt. We can shift something, but the Venus-Mars aspects with the Full Moon, suggest there are creative solutions to what seems so serious. Mars-Venus contacts highlight creative, financial and relationship situations.

With Mars retrograde in Leo we are being asked to push through the insecurities or look at the source of anger. Look closely at issues surrounding pride, or a bruised ego or fears stand in the way of expression your true feelings. Venus in Aquarius suggests a need to be light-hearted yet honest, rather than disconnect, detach or isolate.

With the planets in air and fire signs, creatively, financially and sexually this is a necessary inflaming of energy, passion and desire, so we realize what truly matters.  this can be a passionate release of energy. Sometime it takes a little friction to get the sparks going, for change to happen.

Just be aware of what you truly want to happen in your heart - and work towards that. At any given time we are contributing to either the cycle of creation or destruction in our lives. Both are necessary, but just know which one you are contributing to. Often we end up standing the way of our own happiness and self-sabotaging. Let go of guilt and look closely at any boundaries we feel we “should” not cross.

Any restriction we feel is pointing to a need to push past our own past that holds us from making authentic choices in the present. True to who we are today.

Lovingly,

Priya

An Excerpt ==

It is interesting to note that original ‘root’ meaning of the word “faith” comes from the word meaning “to trust” – fides/fidere/fidelis. Faith involves building and nurturing an ever deepening trust with, and in, someone…or Someone.

Kathleen Norris reminds me time and again that faith is indeed a Kindred Soul to poetry because much like faith, “poetry is expressed through that which is lived, breathed, uttered, and left silent (62).”

Faith is like poetry precisely because the Process is as important (if not more so) as the Product.  Because in faith, as in poetry, when humans are involved the Product is always somewhat flawed through its finiteness. And the (so-called) goal is not the end, but rather the Journey is.  So, if the process is in truth “the point,” then the journey will be a great deal messier than we could imagine.

In poetry, as in the journey of faith: we must “pay attention” – for it is this clarity of attention that allows for imagination and creativity to have full range and a deep and freeing life, for the poet, the readers, and so to for the people of faith.

In poetry as in faith, revision is as much a part of the Journey as the first thought or draft, and in this revising process the poem (and the process) can make a mess of the original.  We see things in a different perspective, see things new for the first time, we start over, and we redefine: these are the tools of poetry…and these are the tools by which we grow in faith.

Faith is like this as well; and in learning to discover a Living Faith – one that is real, authentic, Velveteen Rabbit-like – we sometimes have to make a damn mess of the whole process and then surrender all of it to God. We learn to let go in order to get going. – Niles Comer, Painted Soul: On the Poetics of Faith

Any restriction we feel is pointing to a need to push past our own past that holds us from making authentic choices in the present. True to who we are today.

Lovingly,

Priya

AQUARIUS

You’ve had a few revelations in the light of the recent Full Moon regarding a partnership or a deeply personal situation. You can have the financial and emotional security you need if you recognize your own worth now. Be very real about with yourself, about what you value and what your limitations are. By limitations I do not mean how high you can reach. Rather the time something will need to evolve if it is to stand the test of time. Recognize your own depth and worth is indeed infinite. You stand to gain spiritually emotionally and tangibly, but you well know is not purely about selfish gain. You carry are the flag bearer for a greater mission, that you pour yourself into. Trust your deepest instincts are guiding you to your destiny.

Hello All,

Just quickly checking in with the astrology… It’s 3:00 AM EST on Friday as I write this, just a couple of hours ago Venus in Aquarius trined Saturn in Libra. This may have helped in being able to clear the air and stabilize important financial and personal relationships and situations.

Speak from the heart when you can. Venus in Aquarius suggests the need for honesty and trust that those that love us will love us for who we are. But recognize this kind of a connection is a two-way street, and if we want to be accepted it is also important to extend love, trust and acceptance to others.

Recognizing that love needs space to breathe, but we can find a way to have our needs met. When it comes to creativity and finances to truly capitalize on a genius idea, it takes effort to create and manifest something into reality, but the rewards are always worth it.

The Moon remains in Aries through the day and enters Taurus late Friday at 11:28 PM EST; on Saturday in UK and Australia. Use the weekend to ground yourself in what and who you value.

Also, given the astrology of the Eclipses and the global reality we live in, I have been posting excerpts from Painted Soul. I will re-post the Cancer and Capricorn Eclipe reports in the coming days and get back on the blog sooner rather than later.

Thank you for all your love and energy at this time,

Priya
