The Eclectic Eclipse-Triad In June of 2011 will begin a 30-day period that will offer important shift completions and change to the Earth and indeed mankind. This period completes many of the movements that in truth began months earlier. The release of 'old-energy' scenarios, situations and relationships that no longer are in resonance with the New Earth will occur in macro and micro, globally and individually.

Highlighted Aspects for This Week
Monday: Chiron sextile Mercury; Thursday: Mars trine Sun; Friday: Saturn trine Venus, Pluto conjunct Mercury, Neptune conjunct Venus, Venus enters Pisces; Saturday: Jupiter sextile Venus
IT HAS BEEN an emotional few days leading up to tonight's Full Moon in Cancer. The Capricorn New Moon two weeks ago planted the seeds for new goals and seemed to promise that we could reach those goals by being self-reliant and strong. But the Cancer Full Moon reminds us of our vulnerabilities and fears, and how much we truly need the support of other beings as we make this earthly journey.
With rare exceptions, lunar cycles include lunations (new moons and full moons) that are in opposite signs of the zodiac. Because of this, each month we are being reminded of the need to balance our lives between the very different motivations and characteristics represented by the two opposing signs.
This current lunar cycle began with the Capricorn New Moon on December 24. This sign's positive traits include responsibility, self-discipline, self-reliance, practicality, goal-orientation and dependability. These, of course, are all admirable traits -- but if we were to focus only on building these qualities, we would be ignoring the need to integrate equally valuable, but in many ways, opposite qualities.
ENTER THE FULL MOON in Cancer, Capricorn's polar opposite. This Full Moon is designed to show us that merely living according to Capricorn's view of reality would both make our lives out of balance and cause us to miss important aspects of our life experience.
Cancer's positive traits include sensitivity, sympathy, nurturing, emotional expressiveness and a focus on home, family and security. Again, valuable qualities -- but so very different from Capricorn.
In essence, Capricorn represents the quintessential father, while Cancer expresses the energies of the quintessential mother. We all need both qualities within us to create a life of fulfillment and satisfaction.
SO, IF YOU have been playing the Capricorn card and asserting that you can "do it all by yourself," this Full Moon may be bringing up the negative traits of Cancer to get your attention and to show you where things are out of balance. Those negatives include moodiness, living in the past, fearfulness and defensiveness, over-sensitivity and possessiveness. It can also be trying to get your attention through exaggerated or unhealthy attempts at self-care, such as overindulgence (overeating, overspending, etc.) or depression.
To find the medicine for this emotional malaise, we can again explore the positives of the Cancer experience. We may need to let go of the Capricorn hermit persona and allow ourselves to be a little less self-reliant, letting others know that we're feeling vulnerable and afraid, and asking for their help. We may want to look for healthy ways to nurture ourselves, with positive, self-supportive, calming activities or non-activities (such as taking a warm bath, lighting candles, sipping hot cocoa or tea by the fire).
CANCER SUPPORTS US in letting a few items on the "to-do" list sit a while longer, if what we're really needing is some quiet time to take care of ourselves. Remember, this Full Moon represents the energy of the "perfect mother." If you were your own perfect mother, how would you be caring for yourself right now?
Of course, we must also remember that at a Full Moon, both polarities are represented -- so, while the Moon sits in Cancer during tonight's lunation, the Sun is holding the Capricorn energy. This means that the issue is about balance, not swinging too far in the direction of independence and practical perspectives, but also not remaining dependent and over-dwelling on emotional issues.
We must use the information given to us emotionally (Cancer) and from there take action to make improvement (Capricorn). Luckily, we don't have to have it all figured out today, but we can use this Full Moon to help us see what rebalancing is needed.
AS IF GIVING US time to incorporate the energy of the Full Moon, the first few days of the coming week are relatively quiet astrologically. But then, making up for lost time, there is a flurry of planetary activity on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
For the most part, the planets are in mutually-helpful relationships: Mars trines the Sun on Thursday to provide the courage and incentive to help us take action on the goals we have set. Saturn trines Venus on Friday to smooth the way for us to work well with others, and helping us look at relationship issues from a very practical perspective. On Saturday, Jupiter sextiles Venus, providing a relaxed, laid-back energy for weekend activities.
TWO CONJUNCTIONS (when planets are at exactly the same sign and degree) occur on Friday, with very different effects -- but with the potential for working together to great benefit.
The Pluto-Mercury conjunction in Capricorn powerfully focuses our attention and intentions on whatever plans or ideas we are working to manifest. This can be a very productive combination, as long as we remember that it is easy to be tactless, and our words may have extra impact now. Hurtful words can sometimes masquerade as a truth that "must" be told. We might also be tempted to coerce others into our way of thinking, so will need to be extra vigilant about our own motivations.
At virtually the same time (two hours later), Neptune aligns with Venus in Aquarius, bringing very different energies into play. This is a compassionate, understanding, unselfish planetary combination, which softens our hearts and makes it easier for us to see issues from another's perspective. In the negative, we may not see reality as clearly (wearing rose-colored glasses with regards to another person), or we may too easily fall into self-sacrifice or martyrdom.
All in all, we can use the best of both of these alignments -- the focus and intensity of Pluto-Mercury and the open-heartedness of Neptune-Venus -- to set intentions to be both more passionate and more compassionate in the coming year. What can be better than living a life that is uncompromisingly Truthful, and that, at the same time, is guided by Love?

Sagittarius New Moon: November 25, 2011
1:10 AM EST; Washington, DC
The New Moon in Sagittarius has arrived! It is a subtle partial eclipse that encourages us to go within to discover the spiritual fire. This lunation is quiet and meditative, so it could be easy to just pass it by. Meanwhile, it is an optimal time to strengthen our multidimensional connections, since this New Moon culminates in a very intense total lunar eclipse on December 10. This will inspire a huge reality shift when the world realizes that the huge changes already in gear cannot be stopped. Those who follow these readings know the Mayan Calendar influence has culminated, and now we flow into 2012 seeking a whole new relationship with Earth. In this sense, 2012 is as important as the wild Universal Underworld time acceleration just completed on October 28, 2011. As we prepare for more great shifts, this New Moon is the perfect homeopathic remedy to wake up our cells; the coming times require cellular intelligence, the ultimate form of human unity.
This New Moon and some comments about the Full Moon offers some reflections on October 28, the first New Moon after the Calendar's completion. I think astrological factors are going to have a greater influence on our species now that growth driven by the World Tree has completed. Gerry and I been part of a few groups during the Universal Underworld, and we taught two workshops on November 17 and 19, which really helps us know how people are feeling. Most everybody thinks something really happened during 2011, even though it is hard to define and describe it. The fall of so many world leaders, radical scientific theoretical shifts, and the gyrating world economies strongly support Carl Calleman's theory as well as the McKenna brother's Timewave Zero, which also ends at the end of 2011. A directive evolutionary process has completed itself, and we are poised to live differently, yet we don't know what that will be. This New Moon report offers some sense of direction by also including the Full Moon that follows on December 10. Both are needed in this case;
Mercury turns retrograde half a day before this New Moon and then goes direct right after the Full Moon; and Uranus is still retrograde during the New Moon, and then goes direct a few hours before the Full Moon. Mercury retrograde pulls our awareness deep within to shed light on the inner truths, while Uranus direct in 0 Aries is the mover and shaker of reality fields. Finally, the Full Moon's T-square with Mars at the head resolves the New Moon T-square with Mars squaring the dark Moon, so Mars must be examined in both charts.
First considering the culmination of the World Tree influence, Calleman noted on November 8, "Unity consciousness manifests primarily in the absence of dominance especially in the world's economical and political systems." ["The Mayan Calendar Has Come to an End" on www.Calleman.com]. The breakdown of male dominance this year has been spectacular, and now people are struggling for new ways to lead and follow, a crisis that is the most visible in Egypt. Exactly on October 28, the British monarchy scrapped male succession; Euro leaders asked China to come to their aid; Exopolitics announced that Bush and Blair would be tried for war crimes in Kuala Lumpur; a super-hacker sucked out the data of 760 of the world's largest corporations and stored it away for future use; and the exposure of an abusive football coach was rising to the surface at the venerable Penn State University. These events are all major breakdowns of dominant systems, and the events in science on the 28th are the most astonishing. Exactly on that day, physics announced that the Faster-than-Light Neutrino experiment was to be rerun, and if the results were the same, Einstein's Relativity Theory would have to be challenged by physics. On November 17, the experiment was rerun and the results confirmed the original findings. This is a primary sign of a breakthrough beyond Quantum Theory to Multidimensional Theory, probably Superstring Theory. Also exactly on that final day, cold fusion produced energy in Andrea Rossi's E-Cat Cold Fusion Laboratory. These new possibilities for producing energy are huge, since the Universal Underworld opened with the destruction of the Fukashima Nuclear Plant in Japan, the death knell of nuclear power.
If you've been feeling peculiar since the Calendar ended, please register that the accelerated events of 2011 are creating fundamental cracks and warps in reality! We can all feel this and it takes time to adjust. The cold fusion experiment especially caught my eye because the first successful cold fusion reaction accomplished by Fleishman and Pons in mid-March 1989 was connected to major Maya ceremonial work that I participated in. The Global Elite dunned Fleishman and Pons's successful energy creation and then stole their results, yet this happened during "Maya Initiatic 1989," when Hunbatz Men created a three-week ceremonial cycle for planetary stability. Hunbatz sure knew what he was doing because as we started our work near Palenque in the jungle, massive solar flares knocked out power up north and the first cold fusion succeeded while we were working in the sacred caves of Lol Tun. Then when we completed our ceremonies at Chitzen Itza, the asteroid 1989 FC flew so low over the Yucatan that we could hear the sky imploding! The energy coming to the planet in March 1989 was greater than anything I have ever experienced, and I think these same forces are to be created by the Sun and cosmic influences during 2012. As usual, Hunbatz continues to be right in the flow, as during October 2011 he traveled to American sacred sites with crystal skulls, just when cold fusion was happening again! We all have to be highly conscious and remember to breathe, since now it is time to examine the fields we will be playing in during this New Moon that culminate in a total lunar eclipse.
The New Moon is 3 degrees Sagittarius expresses very fresh and potent spiritual fire, which is intensified by the lunar North Node, Mercury, and Venus in Sagittarius with Venus right on the Galactic Center. This New Moon intensifies our feelings about our spiritual identity; the North Node gives us spiritual direction and intent, Mercury inspires spiritual thoughts and expressive words, and Venus opens us to the influence of the Galactic Center. Galactic gamma rays, light rays, and star emanations shower Earth in a veritable bath of universal intelligence. The events on October 28 show significant destructions of male dominant patterns, and during this New Moon, waves of Sagittarian energy will sicken abusers with awareness of the great pain they inflict on their victims. These lights in Sagittarius bring us great clarity as they pierce reality with the sword of truth. Change happens at the quantum level with waves collapsing into particles that carry new thoughts since matter is not solid, and there are times when even physical forms can transmute instantaneously. During the workshop in Portland, for example, we were informed that the new Keeper of the ninth dimension is the Super Galactic Center, so anything is possible now!
The New Moon is the top of a T-square to Mars in 7 Virgo opposite Neptune in 28 Aquarius and Chiron in 1 Pisces. Normally, this opposition would be a bit wide to be influential, but the New Moon in 3 Sagittarius pulls it together, so I'll read it. Mars in 7 Virgo is a pack of structured transformational power that entices and activates the wounded healer, Chiron, to deliver Neptune's spiritual guidance. Then this potent and activated spiritual delivery force is seeded into our minds and hearts by the New Moon in Sagittarius. This energy builds up to the Full Moon when the Moon in 18 Gemini on the South Node opposes the Sun in 18 Sagittarius on the North Node. Mars in 13 Virgo squares the nodal axis, which directs and releases the mutable powers of the Full Moon. These patterns with Mars and the eclipses penetrate into cellular and quantum dynamics that alter probability dynamics. These changing fractals shine rays of light onto completely new solutions that nobody even imagines right now. This is how the new creative potential of our species arrives, and this process is actually visible in this T-Square activating the New Moon. Simply put, the New Moon will implant a seed of fiery creative power that will be unleashed like a pack of totally free wild horses running free in the light of the Full Moon.
Nothing is going to harness the switching in quantum probability fields going on for two full weeks. Like solidifying ruby-red Jell-O, these oscillating fields will respond to waves emanating from our hearts, so intend what you desire. All the other planets are in league with the lunation, except for unaspected Mercury, which has just gone dormant in retrograde motion. Floundering male dominant controllers will just sputter and howl, as they find they have no words for their rage when their treats are withheld. New paths coming in will not be blocked, because Mars in 7 Virgo trines Jupiter in 2 Taurus trines Pluto in 6 Capricorn. This magnificent grand trine in Earth grounds and absorbs the new creativity that is flowing into Earth: It suggests that the world financial structures will not collapse totally because unexpected levels of support arrive that ease the transition into more fairness and equality. Uranus in Aries exactly trines the lunation, so the Sagittarian creative powers are unleashed without blocks. Uranus squares Venus on the Galactic Center, which activates high galactic intelligence for the great work of Earth. The creative potential of this chart is almost unlimited, because it is so beautifully supported by the grand trine in Earth and so powerfully activated by the trine to the lunation from Uranus in Aries.
Remember to tune in for the Winter Solstice reading and the December New Moon that follows four days later. And please read my personal note below.
I've chosen my words very carefully in this reading because my voice in this format is about to go away. While looking over the new moon and seasonal charts for 2012, I've realized I'm complete with astrological analysis. This column has been available since 2002, through most of the Galactic Underworld, and it will complete in December with a few more thoughts about the amazing experiences we've had during the Universal Underworld. During 2012, I will switch to making periodic statements that you will be able to access through our website. One of the reasons I am letting this voice go is because I need to assess the current form of modern Tropical astrology, which limits our access to the cosmic consciousness flowing into our world because it does not read the influence of the stars. Thank you for all your support for my work on this column over the past decade!

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS:
Understand this is an opportunity to reinvent ourselves in a better way.
Understand there will be a price to pay, something may need to go.
If you lose something or someone, understand this is the sign of these times, use a crisis to venture into new horizons and create something new.
Understand this is an adventure and risk must be taken.
Understand that this is not a time when we can expect security-we are in transition...
Listen to your inner truth, make you life truly happen now.
Take care of your immune system: avoid bad diets in generalthey render you vulnerable to opportunistic viruses.
Support your friends and family, we all shall need one another for support during this transition time.
Cultivate your spiritual practice: this is also important for your immune system.
Do your best to do good: whatever you seed now will have effect now and later.
There is probably more than can be said and explained, but you get the point An incredible opportunity is arising, now and throughout 2010this type of cycle has not happened in recent history. We can expect a certain level of destruction to occur-that is the price to paybut the prospect of experiencing an awakening and creating a better future is now within reach. We are now in the midst of a revolution-a cultural, social, and political revolution. On a personal level, it is a conceptual, emotional, and or spiritual revolutiontruly, it is in the making!
As she orbits the Earth, the Moon varies in her physical distance from us. When she is closest, she is at "perigee"; when when she is furthest away, she is at "apogee."
This photo, copied from Moonconnection.com, compares the size of a full moon at apogee and at perigee using the same camera lens. The Web site explains that:
"The apogee and perigee of the moon have a definite affect on the weather and tides here on Earth. When the moon is at apogee, the furthest distance from the Earth, it has less gravitational pull. Weather conditions can be more stable and the tides more predictable. When the moon is at perigee, closer to the Earth, there is much more gravitational pull and it can whip up the tides and cause weather to become more unstable." The increased electromagnetic field felt on Earth when the Moon is at perigee affects not only our physical weather, but our internal "weather" as well.
We are learning to think in new ways, using the right half of the brain as well as the left. It is the right half of the brain that gives us access to higher-level experiences, while the left half allows us to deal with the physical world and its rules and limitations.
There's a fascinating and inspirational online video that explains more about these ideas, for those who wish to view it:
This link takes you to a 20-minute talk given by Jill Bolte Taylor, a brain researcher who experienced a stroke, but who retained her conscious awareness of the experience. The stroke interrupted the usual activities of the left side of her brain, allowing the right side of her brain to take over.
This woman's experience of "nirvana" during her stroke has given me solace during a time when my own father has been having multiple strokes. And, her story gives considerable insights into how developing the right side of the brain is perhaps the experience of "ascension" we on planet Earth are working toward.
If you prefer to read the text of Jill's talk rather than view the video, here's the link to that transcript: http://blog.ted.com/2008/03/jill_bolte_tayl.php#more
As time speeds up, the left sides of our brains are going into overwhelm on a regular basis, just from the sheer magnitude of information and experience coming in. It occurs to me after hearing Jill's story that perhaps one higher intention of this overwhelm and subsequent shut-down is to encourage us to utilize the right side of our brains, thereby gaining access to a higher level of wisdom.
Blessings,
Pam
The planet Quaoar (pronounced KWAH-o-wahr), a "minor planet" discovered seven years ago that, due to differences in orbit, is sometimes closer to the Sun than Pluto.
Quaoar is still being defined as to its astrological effect, but here are some opinions to consider:
Quaoar inspires our return to the sacredness of life and to natural law, to synchronize with and live according to the natural laws of creation. (Nick Anthony Fiorenza)
Quaoar will reshape the way we think about ourselves, our spiritual evolution, and our place in The Universe. (Richard Brown)
Quaoar allows us to directly access our ability to manifest our reality without the use of super or extra natural means. (Beth Turnage)
Quaoar is associated with the power of our personal creation mythologies -- everything from how we were created, to how we 'create ourselves' in the process of life. (Kirsti Melto)

On June 13, Pluto re-enters the sign of Sagittarius. Why this transit is so significant and what does it mean to you?
Pluto is a tiny, distant body, invisible to the naked eye. Yet, Pluto is incredibly powerful, a force for total transformation, regeneration and rebirth. Pluto asks us to go beyond what we know, redeem ourselves in the process and come out stronger as a result. Pluto represents how we direct our lives.
It takes Pluto a whopping 248 years to complete its orbit around the zodiac and, it takes between 12 and 31 years to pass through a zodiac sign. For the past 12 years Pluto had been stationed in the sign of Sagittarius. Then on January 25, for the very first time since 1778, Pluto moved into the sign of Capricorn!
Now that Pluto is retrograde, it returns to the sign of Sagittarius for about six months until it turns direct again on September 9, moving back into Capricorn in November -- where it settles down for the next 16 years! This six-month period is the last time in your lifetime that you will experience the energy of Pluto in Sagittarius!
Sagittarius is associated with foreign travel, foreign countries and cultures, religion, the law, higher education and all things that expand one's experience and freedom. The sojourn of Pluto in Sagittarius has seen significant events on a global level. On a personal level, the issues you may have had to deal with for the past few years would be very dependent on where Pluto is placed in your individual birth chart as well as where it has been transiting.
Do you know where Pluto is placed in your birth chart and how it impacts your life? The Real You Reading is the perfect place to find out! This insightful and highly accurate reading allows you to look in the cosmic mirror by interpreting the astrological influences occurring at your moment of birth. Discover the purpose of your life, how you love, your values and aspirations, your karmic direction and so much more with this easy-to-read, comprehensive reading! Gain a better understanding of yourself and your relationship to the world around you, and open yourself to personal improvement and self-discovery. Act now and save 20%!

Fact or Fiction? ... A 13th Astrological Sign ?
Full Article : Click Here
The mainstream mediasphere lit up in the past few days with tales of a new zodiac. Yes, there is potentially a 13th sign of the zodiac known in ancient times, and it's re-emerging into the astrological lexicon today. This is Ophiuchus, the Serpent Holder, also known as Serpentarius. Unfortunately, the news reports are hopelessly garbled, and the table that's circulating showing "new dates" of the astrological signs is flat-out wrong. I'm hearing from people all over asking about this announcement and a so-called "new zodiac." As a former journalist myself, I know how easy it is for the media to distort the facts when they don't understand the subject matter they're trying to explain, especially if they only quote one source.
For the record:
1. There is no "new zodiac." There's a sidereal zodiac and a tropical zodiac, both very old. There are other zodiacs, as well, in various traditions.
2. Yes, there is a constellation called Ophiuchus (or Serpentarius), and the Sun transits this region of the sky each December.
3. Ophiuchus may or may not be a sign of the zodiac, depending on your perspective.
As you discern your own truth about all this, here's something to consider. If the zodiac suddenly changed, don't you think you'd hear about it first from a reputable astrologer rather than NBC Nightly News? The gift of the Serpent Holder is a sacred mystery to be explored and savored. I've been teaching and writing about this subject for the past several years and invite you to read about it my Evolutions blog.
There is a new book out called The Dictator's Astrologer by Roberleigh H Claigh. The book is all about Afra Waesch (the astrologer) and Hitler, comparing their paths, hers toward the light and his toward darkness. Afra was my mother's teacher, and her best friend, whom we children were all fortunate to have influence us also. It was she who introduced my sisters and I to spirituality. Fascinating read. Thought some of you might be interested, especially the people who know astrology as charts are done and analyzed on the top people who surrounded Hitler. Basically it is a great comparison of two people whose paths intertwine and how one's choices make all the difference. The book also indicates how well Afra's Light protected her, even in the most difficult of times. Sharon Wyeth lightkeepers.name@mac.com
