Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you

So baby talk to me
Like lovers do

Exploring Astrology: Eclipse in the Garden (Podcast)

–

Dear Friends,

We’re nearing the third and final Eclipse of this season and I just got done recording the podcast above with Adam Sommer, on his show Exploring Astrology. We explored the energy of the upcoming Eclipse, went off on a few interesting astrologically relevant tangents and stumbled on some deep insights. And you can listen to it all at the link above.

–

This Sagittarius Lunar Eclipse occurs at 4+ Sagittarius at 12:24 AM EDT, 5:24 AM and 9:54 AM INT GMT on May 25, 2013. Significantly, the Sabian Symbol for the Sun in Gemini, at the time of this lunation seems potently symbolic to me given Neptune will be in a T-square to this lunation at the time of the Eclipse.

Here is Dane Rudhyar’s interpretation of this degree:

PHASE 65 (GEMINI 5°): A REVOLUTIONARY MAGAZINE ASKING FOR ACTION.

KEYNOTE: The explosive tendency of repressed feelings and root emotions.

Every movement overstressing one direction calls forth in time an equally extreme movement in the opposite direction. This is particularly true at the level of the dualistic mind symbolized in the zodiac by Gemini. What is rigidly bound in form and convention tends to explode into formlessness. It may do so violently if socially oppressed — through revolution — or at the psychological level in psychosis; or it may withdraw inwardly into the mystical state in which one identifies with an unformulatable Reality.

This fifth stage is related to the first, for it is the experience of a world of being so far unperceived by the everyday consciousness which starts the process. In the same sense a psychedelic experience may momentarily make the mind transparent to a non-ego-structured realm of consciousness, and may lead to a sustained attempt at understanding what has been revealed of a transcendent Reality. Whether the revolutionary action is violent or peaceful, bitterly resentful or loving, the one desire is TO REACH BEYOND ESTABLISHED FORMS.

Gemini is the sign of duality, night and day, dark and light, hot and cold — but what we see as night and day – is really one eternal now. The Sun and Moon both exist simultaneously, it’s just a matter of a ‘higher perspective.’ With Jupiter, (Mercury and Venus) the contrast to life has certainly been turned up to the max.

There is a LOT of information coming through, and Neptune’s aspect suggests there could be a lot of projection, denial and confusion. So stay sober, grounded, seek clarity, then you won’t get caught up in others people’s movies. But there are also lucrative financial opportunities arising, as well as a chance to share deep truth and intimacy with another, deepening love and trust.

Perhaps the most exciting revelation came when I was speaking with Adam earlier. He started to speak of the story of Adam and Eve, when I suddenly realized how symbolic and deep a meaning it might hold for us now and the insight it gives us into the mutable signs of the zodiac.

God (Pisces) created Adam and Eve (Gemini, in the Tarot this is the Lover’s card, also Eve was made from the rib of Adam – suggesting “One” – that was then divided into “two”) they ate of the fruit of knowledge (Sagittarius,) which resulted in their “expulsion” from the Garden of Eden (Virgo.)

Hello Friends,

We’re past the Last Quarter of the Moon, as we move towards the Lunar Eclipse on May 26, 2013.

As the Sun moves through its last days in Taurus, it would help to ground yourself in the understanding of what you are creating, and what you need to let go of so you can move forward.

To help with that, here is a brilliant, deep and insightful podcast by my fellow astrologer Adam Sommer on this recent Taurus Eclipse. As I listened to it last night, I forgot I was an astrologer. It took me on a journey, opening new doors within and I had to share. You will want to hear this!

Exploring Astrology: Bull Eclipse

(Adam Sommer writes at his website www.holestoheaven.com)

I’ll be back with more astrology soon, perhaps a podcast with Adam even around the time of the Full Moon, so stay tuned! (Today, I’m working on an article for Venus through the Signs – so I hope to have that for you soon as well.)

Until then take care of yourself and be open to magic. It abounds…

Love,

Priya

Cosmic Diaries: 2013 – 2014 Annual Horoscopes

Astrology Consultations

Dear Friends,

We’re half-way between Eclipses now, approaching the Last Quarter phase of the Moon in the next few hours.

The recent Eclipse in Taurus wiped the slate clean in at least one area of your life. And hopefully you are beginning to see the abundance of choice, options and a more fertile reality.

With Jupiter in its final days in Gemini – it may seem like the contrast between the ‘light’ and ‘shadow,’ is even more magnified and acute. And we edge closer to the Eclipse and in the days that follow, it could very well bring you huge, life changing news with choices to be made.

With Mercury now in Gemini, information is beginning to trickle in. Some of it more insidious than we’d like, but be grateful for all you are learning, it bears the gift of wisdom within it. Sometimes it takes another to offer us a different perspective, to be a mirror or a voice of reason. So ask yourself if there is something you are clinging to in fear of change.

Expect things to pick up lightening speed as the Sun enters Gemini on May 19, 2013 bringing even more information to the forefront. And On May 21, 2013 Uranus and Pluto square each other for the third time, followed by the Full Moon and Sagittarius Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, releasing a blast of energy.

But for now while the Sun is in Taurus and as we reach this final quarter of the Moon, this is a final turning point as we move toward the last Eclipse of this season. Life is not black and white, and ultimately you are the source, and the center of your world. Look within and you can begin to see the infinite, raw, abundant, creative energy and colors within you waiting to burst forth.

Ground yourself in what is real, and in the awareness of who you are at your core. Then you can move forward with an unshakable inner confidence and humility, allowing you to make wise choices that allow you to manifest your greatest potential.

Hello Friends,

A quick check-in with the astrology, on this very auspicious day. We are just past a very fertile New Moon in Taurus, with the Moon now in Cancer.

According to the Vedic Calendar, today marks ‘Akshaya Tritiya.’ “The word “Akshaya” means “the never diminishing” in Sanskrit;” [and "Tritiya" meaning "third."] 

It is said, that what you  set into motion on this day grows, and never diminishes. This is also a very popular and auspicious ‘tithi’ for marriages in India.

“It falls on the third Tithi (Lunar day) of Bright Half (Shukla Paksha) of the pan-Indian month of Vaishakha.” This coincides with the third day after the Taurus New Moon in the Tropical Zodiac.

This also gives us a deep insight into the nature and root essence of this current energy of the waxing Moon in Cancer after a New Moon in Taurus: moist, fertile earth in the spring, an infinite creative source and fecund womb to plant seeds of permanence, growth, abundance and eternal life.

Significantly, the recent lunation was the first Solar Eclipse in Taurus since 1995. And with it’s conjunction to the South Node there is a sense of coming full circle with the past or with something that began then.

As we move to the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse and the planets move from Taurus to Gemini, there is as yet untapped potential that is being released. There could even be second chances now to create a new reality. You’re in the possession of magic beans. If you feed negativity, suspicion or doubt that is what will bear fruit.

Choose wisely, let your roots go deep into the earth, beyond the surface material treasures, as you nurture what is truly of value, with love, care and patience. And this is something that could take on a [new] life of it’s own, growing larger than life, allowing you to reap rewards for many seasons to come.

“There is a danger in being too stubborn, inflexible, greedy, getting stuck in the past, holding on to pain, resentment, “security,” or a sense of entitlement which may cause you to miss out on an opportunity. Especially in your personal relationships, or if love is on your mind, heartfelt communication will be key. Love is not something you think about or understand, but something you feel. And if you move beyond perception and listen to what someone is saying, you can discover a sweeter truth about someone and their commitment to you…”

“Ring Of Fire”

Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire…

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.

The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our’s meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild.

– Johnny Cash

I’m watching the Taurus Annular Solar Eclipse online as I write this. And it’s an absolutely awe-inspiring, humbling, breathtaking sight, that I had to share the link for anyone reading right now.

The Taurus New Moon exacts in just over an hour from now, at 8:28 PM EDT at 19+ degrees of the sign. I’ll be back with a Blog a little later. In the meanwhile, remember even if it feels like have touched rock bottom, this is a fertile new beginning. With Venus in Gemini, you can breathe easier again knowing you have options, and if you can’t see them yet you will soon.

For now, pay attention to the seeds you are planting and what you are feeding a situation, for they will, without discrimination, bear fruit. As you sow, so shall you reap…

Happy New Moon!

Love,

Priya

With Her:

“This time is difficult, wait for me:
we will live it out vividly.
Give me your small hand:
we will rise and suffer,
we will feel and rejoice.

We are once more the pair
who lived in bristling places,
in harsh nests in the rock.
This time is difficult, wait for me
with a basket, with a shovel,
with your shoes and your clothes.

Now we need each other
not only for the carnations’ sake,
not only to look for honey:
we need our hands
to wash with and to make fire,
and so let our difficult time
stand up to infinity
with four hands and four eyes.”

― Pablo Neruda

 

 

This is where the shadows come to play
‘Twixt the day
And night
Dancing and skipping
Along a chink of light

Somewhere in between
The waxing and the waning wave
Somewhere in between
What the song and silence say
Somewhere in between
The ticking and the tocking clock
Somewhere in a dream between
Sleep and waking up
Somewhere in between
Breathing out and breathing in
Like twilight is neither night nor morning

Not one of us would dare to break
The silence
Oh how we have longed
For something that would
Make us feel so…

– Kate Bush, Somewhere in Between

Dear Friends,

We’re in between Eclipses now, and May brings us two more Eclipses changing the landscape of our lives. Below is an excerpt from the Cosmic Weather for May 2013 sent out to subscribers.

Also as we approach the Taurus New Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse, this is a time for release and letting go of everything that we’ve been holding on to in fear of change. Taurus hates change and will often hold on to the familiar even if it is unproductive or painful, just because it is familiar.

But we need not fear losing anyone or anything important. People and relationships, especially, are meant to be cherished and valued but they cannot be possessed. And the more we can let go of holding on to something, someone or the way things used to be, we can discover a richer more fertile reality, that holds deep tangible potential. And you can be certain what remains, will be real, of value and worthy of your love and commitment.

But first, comes the process of weeding out the unwanted — be it possessions, spending habits, or even personal habits and attitudes that are detrimental and prevent your progress. And now is not the time to think about gain, but rather to dig deep for what you value in a person or a job or any situation – beyond the material security it might bring in terms of income, or a “relationship.”

Only then can we create space to space to plant new seeds and nurture something to life.

Love,

Priya

May 2013 Cosmic Weather

An Excerpt ==

“Late last month, on Apr. 26, 2013 a Scorpio Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse, in close conjunction to the North Node and Saturn revealed what we need to confront and the emotional baggage we need to let go of, so we can evolve towards our destiny.

“Life isn’t linear, it is more of a spiral. We need to learn from the past only then can we grow, using experience as a stepping stool, and climb the next rung in our journey of evolution. Eclipses are said to be ‘gateways,’ aligning us with our destiny. And the time between Eclipses is when we can bring about magical changes that may not have been possible at any other time.

“Now as we enter May, the planets are all gathering in a Taurus stellium as we move towards the Taurus New Moon and Annular Solar Eclipse on May 10, 2013. Mercury joined the Sun, Mars and Venus and enters Taurus on May 1, 2013; and will transit through the sign until May 16, 2013. Venus will transit in Taurus till May 10, 2013, the Sun till May 20, 2013 and Mars until May 31, 2013.

“With all the planets in Taurus, especially in the first half of the month and while the Sun transits through the sign, makes May a rather sensual month. This is very sensual, sexual and very physical energy. Taurus is all about the senses, the things you can touch, taste, smell, hear and see.

“And there will be plenty of opportunities to indulge in good food, wine, song, and other hedonistic pleasures — and only you know when you’ve had too much of a good thing. But this energy is too bountiful to waste only on eating, drinking and making merry. With a little effort you could make substantial progress and tangible gain, strengthening your most important personal and business relationships and your sense of material security. We’re standing on a gold mine, but if you get caught up in the short term gain, you are likely to miss out on the deeper treasures that lay hidden below the surface.

“All the planets in Taurus are a clear sign of the solid potential in something. But first as we move towards the New Moon and Solar Eclipse on May 10, 2013 and the planets move towards the South Node — there is a sense of being dragged deep into the past, bringing up issues to be resolved and released.

“We’re going to have to dig through dirt that’s sure to come up, but be patient with this process. And more importantly make sure you are making a conscious effort to acknowledge, learn from and release the past while moving forward and not getting “stuck” in it.

“That’s really the only pitfall here, which is you get so caught up in something that you can’t see the forest for the trees. In being so busy with sorting out the past you could miss out on this luscious, fertile climate and abundant reality before you. And what you are really digging for is your self-esteem.”

TAURUS

With a Scorpio Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse in your 7th House, your relationships and one relationship in particular are in the spotlight now. And there is a good deal of letting go of the past you can do before you can truly move forward. But the good news here is there is space for friendship, freedom, healing as well as your desires to all co-exist. Begin by acknowledging these to yourself first. Your vulnerability is strength so don’t be inclined to see it any other way or feel the need to control your emotions be it anger, hurt, pain, passion or desire. But it is important that you release them consciously. Share your process without projecting your blame or anger, or holding on to expectations. Let another know how you are feeling then you can create a space for a partner to be present, stand in your shoes and offer you the support you need. There are still trust issues you are working through, but you are reaching a deeper understanding of someone and their behavior. You are reaching a milestone in your journey of learning what someone or something means to you and what a situation is really trying to reach you. It may mean the end of a chapter, but with a Partial Eclipse this story isn’t over yet — you are setting in motion events that will lead you to your destiny with another. Then even if it means letting go of someone or something so it comes back to you in the right way, or creating space for something real to enter your world do it. You have more weight in a situation than you realize and you don’t need to throw it around to get what you want. And then even if you have trust issues to work through, anyone who can withstand the intensity of your emotions is someone worth having in your life. You cannot change the past, but in awareness you can create a new future.

Once I ran to you

Now I’ll run from you

– Tainted Love, Soft Cell

And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens—The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.

– John Steinbeck

~~

Things are getting hot, heavy, explosive and emotional…

Like an animal that has tasted blood, there may be a sweet ravenous hunger or passion building for something now. Love and hate. Pleasure and pain. Fear and desire. We can’t have one without the other. But what is the driving force in your life?

Mars conjuncts the Sun in Aries today in a few hours of my writing this. Meanwhile, Venus is now in her home sign Taurus, with the Moon in Cancer as we reach the Last Quarter, heading towards a Partial Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio.

As the Moon squares the Sun-Mars conjunction this energy calls deep self-awareness of ones feelings and desires, or things could get rather emotionally volatile with explosive outbursts.

The more we are able to resolve feelings internally now, we can make an easier transition in the coming week as the Scorpio Eclipse which is bringing even deeper perhaps darker emotions to the surface for release, leading to revelation and change.

The fact that we can feel anything at all is a sign that we are alive. And the more we can get in touch with our own feelings we can extend compassion and empathy to others.

As much as there may be rage, anger, bitterness, pain, resentment or helplessness about the past or what you cannot change, there is also love. And Venus in Taurus is a reminder that only love is real.

But love is not something that can be possessed, (neither is money for that matter, for we die empty handed.) it can only be nurtured and shared. This is a wake up call and call to action: to the life you are creating, rather than one that has passed.

If you can dare to chase your passion or share your love for the sake of it, while being patient and not getting distracted by the ‘fruit,’ you can harness this energy to become the force of change you seek.

And change always begins with oneself. You can run, but you can’t hide. Not from yourself.

And perhaps the best advice under these skies, in any situation, comes from John Steinbeck who said in a letter to his son, (responding to his son’s letter earlier that day telling him he had just fallen in love):

“And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens—The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.”

 And if I told you that I loved you
You’d maybe think there’s something wrong
I’m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear are lost

Love myself.
I am not innocent.
Actions have consequences.
So does my inaction.
Being is the only way to be.
Being is dharma.
Feel the fire.

Remember who I am
I am innocent
I am being
I am fire
I am Love

I slapped my head as the Moon entered Aries yesterday. I left out one of the most crucial points in my last Blog about the Venus-Mars conjunction. Yes, relationships are heating up right now with all the Aries action, but this conjunction and now New Moon in Aries, really is about the Self.

As I write this, the Sun and Moon are less than a couple of hours away from their conjunction at 20+ Aries, at 5:35 AM EDT; 10:35 AM GMT and 3:05 PM INT. At the time of this lunation New Moon, Venus-Mars are still in close conjunction making this an extremely fertile energy for new beginnings personally, in relationships, financial situations and for creative pursuits.

But the days and time before the end of a Moon cycle is always unnerving. One may still feel raw from the past experiences, heartbreak, rejection, abandonment. And it’s true a cycle is ending, but the end is always a new beginning. Especially given this is the Aries New Moon — the first sign of the zodiac, the sign that represents raw, primal fire of creation, where the un-manifest becomes manifest.

Acknowledge and release the pain, anger, bitterness or resentment you feel. You can’t change the past, but as the lunation takes place and the Moon begins to grow, this is unequivocally a sign of new beginnings and new life. This is a re-birth of the self and return to innocence.

In relationships mistrust can be replaced with trust, fear with passion, but again the key here is learning to trust one’s self. Lay down the armor and weapons and lead with love. When one is able to love oneself, then one automatically attracts the resources, relationships or circumstances that liberate you to be the best they can be. But rather than focus on others right now — this is about knowing the Self, one’s own desires, fears, impulses, and loving one’s self first.

Then love becomes an outpouring of one’s being, a blossoming of the self, a process of sharing oneself (rather than a need) — a naturally attractive and charismatic quality. When one is committed to being their best self, then we automatically become the force of change in all relationships and our Universe in conscious and unconscious ways; not by “doing” anything but simply “being” oneself.
