The day after...

I feel a strong urge to write down few words on the “day after” ,Virginia's bewilderment.

I am not delving into the personal or national mistakes, there will be, already, lot of talking about it.

I would like to participate in the huge work of building new avenues for the betterment of this society.

Wherever you are , there, is the road; and the youngsters learn it,the hard way!

By experience, I saw, that this youth need to be helped by us all, parents and educators, because of their enormous potentiality.

They are sent to fight in wars, they are deadly shot for stupid reasons, they find difficulties and blocks in finding all kinds of jobs. This, is happening under our eyes, in America and Europe, on a daily base.

This generation was born with the planet Pluto in the sign of Scorpio, (1982-1995), and this is a combination which generates a fighting generation, a “delving one”!

There is strength to fight for the good and stamina to win , against all odds, but if you try to obstruct it

this force can turn back, with heavy consequences.

They were born during the spreading of the AIDS in the world,, and they had to confront, for the first time in the modern era, the problem of sex.

Spiritually, they are the ones who will learn the death of desire, so that, true Love, may flow.

They are “the Transformers”; some, among them, will be able to change human consciousness.

Please , in silence, stare them into their eyes, especially when they speak from their heart!

You may find conviction.

The collective is really important to them, and they will regenerate present conditions, with concrete actions.

On the other hand , they are born with the planet Neptune in the sign of Capricorn (1984-1998), because of this configuration, they have hard time to develop the mystical side of this planet, the Soul has difficulties to raise above lower levels.

They seem to be trapped in an hypnotic struggle for personal power.

Again, some of them, will find the way to climb heights, because true values stand on their side!

The are the “Climbers”.

Often, in my work I am involved with this youth, and I encourage them to show new values and be responsive to Uranus, the planet which was in the sign Sagittarius, at their birth.

Uranus, in this sign, points to the “New Philosopher”, brings forth the flag of the New Age; this generation can be a Path-finder, for the new children.

I have experienced, that, if I tell them, some true values, these suggestions can represent a key to clarify their believes .

We should always be ready to help them ; if we heal friendly, with an open heart, we can find answers and relations from them.

You are never alone, beautiful youth; there is much Love by your side. And ,for sure, you are starting to build, in your own, unique way, a new Society!

Full Moon in Aries

The day of full-moon occurs when the moon is in opposition to the sun. This month the sun is in Aries and the full moon is in Libra.

This is a very special period of the year, the winter solstice is past and the spring equinox has just begun.

Winter seems to be the most spiritual period of the whole year, it is a reflective period. We are more self contained: our ideas, our projects, our way of thinking become more intimate, and we tend to grow, mostly, within ourselves. We are more on the yang-side of the yin-yang polarities.

Our potentialities, like seeds,
lie dormant during the winter.
When the springtime comes, these seeds come to the surface searching for the light. We are like the flowers, giving birth, to ideas, projects, and aspirations, as with the sunshine, prana reaches us with encreasingly strength.

From the spring equinox to the summer solstice as, from March 21 till the 21 of June, there is a growing energy in the air: This is a real help for the physical body, the mind and the spirit, a healing wave which restores and motivates us, once again.

During winter-time we tend to be more assertive spiritually, more yang. During the spring and the summer-time, we should shift to a more yin polarity.

To aid this shift, our attitude becomes more receptive, more open to the rays of the sun, the spiritual energy is able to “impress” the one who is open and prepared to receiving it. The full-moon in Aries carries a lot of energetic inputs, is time of the rebirth in anything.

This times marks a “passage” (Easter means, also passage), from dark to light, from life below the earth to her surface, from silence to sound.

In reality, each full moon is the celebration of more light, it is the Moon which is receiving the Sun's rays for twentyfour hours.

Knowing this, there is a worldwide act of meditation, at each full moon but in particular, when the sun is in: Aries, Taurus, and Gemini.
An encreasing spiritual energy is at our disposal at this time, and the meditators are fused on a higher level with heightned spiritual activity, which cannot be found, in such way, during other days of the month.

This mass meditation is a huge work on the higher levels, it is extremely beneficial for us all, because it is shared with the whole of humanity.

This bridge connects the higher levels with the lower level, it comes from different sources all over the world with a focussed intent to bring more peace and harmony; it can inspire people to solve difficult problems and find solutions to change difficult world-conditions.

The group is greater than the sum of the parts: it is a world-group-meditation, the like of which has never happened before.

The quality of the energies of each sign energize the entire month. During the day of the full-moon, this type of energy reaches its climax.

A true loving and enlighted network of people is in action during the whole year, and we, all, can benefit from it!

YOUTH, ADOLESCENCE AND VENUS

How beautiful is our adolescence?

Any way we spent our adolescence, or are spending it right now it is a breathless period in one's life: colorful and magic, desperate and happy!

Venus in Astrology is the ruler of youth. Under her influence, youth discovers love, sexual attraction, social gatherings, new alliances, creating new attitudes towards society!

Along with all that, adolescence brings an acute, inner turmoil; Venus pushes young people from one extreme to the other ( Libra is ruled by this planet).

To harmonize this continuous imbalance shifting, from one scale to the other, the minds of the young, need be trained to discriminate. To experience what is essential and what it is not, to separate genuine desire from fake desire, freedom from fake freedom.

With discrimination in youth, real values begin to take shape and we can really say that youth is a very educative period of our lives, whatever this means for you.

Studies have shown that although we have learned history by memorization, it doesn't mean that we understood the real causes of events. Probably the real explanation lies in a non-obvious relationship between a subjective cause and its outer reality.

The external world might be just a symbol, an effect of this truth, because often reality veils the real causes of an event.

Youth is well represented by the coming of the Aquarian Age, and a new cycle of history has already partially begun. Youngsters desire to know that they are not learning through blind faith, but wish to understand with both heart and mind what is going on.

These coming generations, have a greater interest in their surroundings than the previous one. This is a sign of the Aquarian Age.

In the future, it is possible, that psychology will be studied in higher school and this will be a great progress. The turning of the youthful mind to a more reflective approach to life, will put them in touch with the nature of their Souls and in consequence their relationship with the World-Soul!

Under good direction, Meditation, might be a valuable subject for them, helping to focus and giving them more intuitive capabilities.

Venus can be refreshing and inspirational if turned into arts or creative expressions, therefore the acute pain of adolescence can be transformed into burst of creative outlets.

Aquarius age will bring a new wave of education, allowing youth to be more aware of their place in society, their place in the family, and the potential of their generation.

Venus, in Soul- oriented Astrology, rules the principle of Loving-Intelligence and the youth, in the future, will become more attuned to it.

BAGHDAD,AN ASTROLOGICAL EXPLANATION!

I was very surprised to see that the sign of Virgo rules the city of Baghdad, and I found myself delving into the astrological history of this city.

It is said that during the period from 810-865 A.D., when the Byzantines were spreading their magnificence, and Charlemagne initiated a cultural flowering in Europe, lifting it from the Dark Ages.
At the same time, the Islamic Dynasty of al-Mamun in Baghdad, brought Muslin science, literature, medicine, astronomy and architecture to a new higher level.
This magnificence was the seed that led to the flowering of Western European culture.
Parallel to these events, the mystical sect of Sufism and in India the Hindu Vedanic philosophy, was inaugurated.

This was a period that was called “the Copper Age”, and it is very much impressed by the passage of the planet Neptune from the sign of Scorpio, up to the sign of Aquarius.

Whenever we find the collective outer planets: Neptune, Pluto and Uranus, high in the sky, transiting from Scorpio to Aquarius, we can be quite sure that some changes, in the collective sphere, are at stake, because the masses of the world population respond to vibrations of these outer planets.

Human culture develops.

Baghdad was founded on the West bank of the Tigris in the year 762 A.D., it was probably the largest city in the world at the time,,nearing one million of inhabitants and became famous as a seat of learning; the first astrological school in Baghdad was founded in 777 A.D., the famous astrologer Abu-ma'shar influenced the European scholars in the West, at that time.

Why, you can say, am I taking into consideration Baghdad with Virgo, I am trying to see Bagdad's astrological history in relation with her past to understand her present?

The answer might be that Virgo, the city's sign is, right now, in deep stress from the continuous energies which come from the outer planets, positioned, all three together, high in the sky.

Currently, Uranus is in Pisces, Pluto is in the end of Sagittarius and Neptune is in Aquarius.
If we take Uranus in consideration, we see that is opposite to the sign of Virgo, this relationship causes revolutions which, later, can develop into innovations: Uranus causes changes and the city can take the change, or totally deny it!

Change and revolution is made up of lots of shocking events and upheavals will occur before an innovative independence can be achieved.

Neptune too, is in a stressful position, for the city-sign, and this state of things indicates the city is dealing with a lot of suffering, but there is healing, and help and compassion is needed. Disintegration, either mental or physical, it is a chaotic situation. Remember that Neptune rules oil.

The World's people will cooperate with this city, helping to raise herself again from the ashes. Making Bagdad, shine once more!

On the other hand, Pluto, the other outer planet,still in Sagittarius, in relation to Virgo, shows a disturbing aspect, it can bring into the open shadowy psychotic outbreaks in the collective unconscious, causing many unseen secretive events with Pluto high in the sky.

In the 2008 Pluto will leave Sagittarius and enter Capricorn, the planetary interactions will then be much more in tune with Virgo because both signs are in the same element: earth.
Many outmoded trends will be burned out, in a kind of purification, but the new and fresh start of the city will be instigated by world wide good will.

Here, again, Astrology allows us to read between the lines of world-events: the outer planets are indicative of development and future evolution, when all of them are found high in the sky, but the field must be fertile, and there must be harmonic equilibrium. Without harmonic equilibrium there will be just disruption.

Like in the past, Baghdad will flourish again, one day, on an higher spiral motion which characterizes the development and growth of the whole planet Earth.

URANUS IN PISCES

Uranus the awakener, Uranus the flash of intuition, entered the sign of Pisces in March 2003, and will remain in Pisces until the end of 2011.

Uranus creates a type of energy which brings sudden revelations. Uranus within the sign of Pisces creates a very mystical and musical inspiration, and will show many spiritual insights into the mysteries of life and death.

The skill of the newborn generation, under such a configuration, will be its capability to catch sudden sparks of clarity, and to understand what is behind the appearance, either on personal and on collective level.

Pisces is a sign related with the mass of the people, it is also the sign of Karma, and mass-Karma. Uranus is bringing an energy to the world which can awaken the consciousness of the masses, changing and intervening in the karmic debts of the World.

For instance, the United Nations (ruled by the sign of Pisces) shows concern for every difficult national issue of the world. The UN with Uranus in their sign, might take sudden new dispositions in the

difficult task of solving the problems of humanity.

With Uranus in Pisces the sociability of the individual is held in much esteem, to the detriment of materialism. As well, compassion is awakened as are imagination and humility.

Much of the unconscious collective stuff, which has to do with international problems, can be solved in a sudden way, with Uranus in Pisces.

Electronic music has the shape of Uranus in Pisces. Music as a healing art, is born as a brand new scientific instrument, also for tapping the higher levels of the Soul, I experienced this personally!

Uranus is the rebel of the Zodiac, and Pisces the most imaginative sign, if we blend the element of water with electric-magnetic vibes, the result is chaos or the birth of a brilliant Einstein!

THE ELEMENT OF AIR IN ASTROLOGY AND PRANA

The element of Air is the life-energy which has been related by the Eastern Wisdom to Prana.
Prana it is a part of our breath, the eternal inflow and outflow of the vital air.

Prana not only is linked to all the living beings on earth as a basic factor , but it is “the life essence of every plane in the Cosmos” (Master D.K.).

The air brings within this aspect of life a vivifying and correlating energy pervading everything, anywhere. Prana radiates from the sun and when it comes into contact, via the ether, with our inner thoughts, ideas or ideals, it can modify their vibrational qualities; prana strengthens the fertile mind and the open heart.

Prana gives birth to all creatures, sustains them, and nurtures them.

The element of Air in Astrology rules relations, Prana energizes them, it is “the active power behind all vital phenomena “( Blavatsky).

In the East they believe Prana is the seventh element existent, the sixth, they say, is represented by the mind (“Manas” in Hindi), the others are :Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Ether.

If we take into consideration the relationship within the interconnection of Prana-mind-air, via ether, we can understand why man creates, partially, through his ideas.
The Heart helps these ideas to be more inclusive towards other beings.

A spiritual principle has to be an universal truth, therefore its strength lies in the brotherhood of sharing. Prana-mind-air ,via ether, in its universality, acts upon the planet in a concrete way.

In Sanskrit language, Prana is Pra= forth, An=to breath.

To whom who wants to Know and Experience , consciously, the Prana-energy, the help and the direction of a good willed disposition, along with the right training, such as studying the Ageless Wisdom, and Meditation, can expand the heart and the mind to achieve a succession of expansions.
A graded series of awakenings which put us in tune with the Whole.

IT IS ALL IN THE AIR!

It is Spring, get out, enjoy the changes, and open yourself to Prana.
