Aug 1st New Moon solar eclipse in Leo.
What’s going on at a Solar Eclipse? Solar Eclipses happen when the orbital paths of the moon and Earth align precisely enough for the moon to block the light of the Sun. For a few minutes you could say the moon –the soul, or intuitive mind overshadows the Sun, the rational mind. And energetic matrixes are opened, reorganized, and reconfigured creating new pathways and new patterns. And we are given a new glimpse of our souls intentions.
The sign qualities receiving this new matrix are those of the sign Leo. Leo represents the journey of discovering and expressing our individual spark of self expression (Our path of heart).
Maybe you will have a new path opening to you after this eclipse for expressing your heart path or for doing what brings you joy. So listen to your heart and set soul inspired goals. (New Moons are a good times to set goals) And explore what you need to be creating to express your core self.
New goals might also revolve around looking for where you need will power (sun power) to walk your heart path and not get lost in someone else’s. Dare to make changes that are in alignment with your true nature.
“The secret of change is to not focus all your energy on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Socrates
As most of you reading this already know, Nietzsche was a German philosopher who taught that traditional values represented a "slave morality." His quest for personal liberation is associated with some New Age thinking today. He maintained that all human behavior is motivated by the will to power -- the power over oneself that is necessary for creativity. As role models for what Nietzsche called an "overman," he mentioned Socrates, Jesus, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Shakespeare. When questioned about the "Live Dangerously" sign, Nietzsche claimed it was to remind him, "My fear is great." Nietzsche advocated "letting go" and living life as a great adventure. What about you? Your inner nature calls for you to quest and learn and grow."No," you say. "I want security. Aliveness is dangerous. I cannot follow my inner nature."But when you try to protect yourself from change to maintain security, more often than not, you'll experience a reduction in your life-force. Your soul will suffer. And for what? Security isn't secure. Life always changes. Living dangerous means when you're offered a choice, you take the growth choice not the safe choice, the comfortable choice, or the socially acceptable choice. You choose based upon what generates aliveness for you. Whatever results will provide an opportunity to learn and grow.

Pluto’s Journey through the Last Degrees of Sagittarius
Pluto’s Journey through the Last Degrees of Sagittarius
A personal account experienced through meditation journey
I spent a lot of time yesterday contemplating Pluto’s journey through the degrees of Sagittarius it is retrograding back to in its last pass through the sign of Sagittarius (which it began June 13th 2008 where it will reside until November 26th.)
Pluto’s journey in Sagittarius has exposed our shadows philosophically and transformed many of us into broader minded individuals.
I did a journey to talk to Pluto about its expression in Capricorn and Sagittarius and what I encountered symbolically was Pluto the God of the Underworld changing his clothes. As He left Capricorn to return to Sagittarius’s realm he took off his business suit and put on academic robes and went into a room full of books and paper stacked everywhere and told me to sort through my philosophies and get rid of the things I no longer believed in so that when he returned to Capricorn He would know which of my beliefs to give form and structure to and what to tear down to make way for what I was choosing build.
He had a rather ruthless attitude and was wadding up a lot of the papers and throwing them in the waste basket and saying no this is not in alignment with your soul and where the world is going. This must die and this over here can live to be built into the new world structures that are emerging.
And this thought here is incomplete and must be revisited and refined so I think I will put this attitude of yours into the fire and help you see what has to be done for what you have to give the world to fit into the world that is emerging.

FW: Attend to Your Journey - a note from Linda Fitch
.Today I ran across a talk by Alberto Villoldo about the Mayan profhecies for 2012.
It ended with the following thoughts.
I got really turned on to the question "am I going to continue to learn from suffering or am I going to be part of the new world and learn from joy and grace and beauty? " I think I have been having an attack of suffering the last couple of weeks and glad to say today I am getting out of it. I noticed on my own today that maybe what was blocking me was that I did not believe I could have my preferances that I wanted to learn more than I wanted to have my preferances (and then I noticed that I must believe I could not learn from preferance only from suffering) and then I thought "I want to learn the lessons I could learn from living my preferances." So I asked to have help surrendering to learning from receiveing my preferances. Then I decided to listen to Alberto Volloldo's talk and at the end he was talking about learning from suffering or from joy. First time I have felt in the flow for a few day. And it came through the Alberto connection. I truly choose to learn from joy.
Thank you thank you universe for the choice of leaning from joy and beauty and grace.

The Nodal Shift to Aquarius/ Leo Dec. 9, 2007 through Aug. 21 2009
The Nodal Shift Dec. 9, 2007 through Aug. 21 2009
The Call to Develop Aquarian Traits
The journey of evolution and growth for mankind can be interpreted astrologically by where the nodal axis is in the Cosmic Sky. The placement in the Zodiac of the North Node, or the dragons head, indicates where our growth is and what is calling to be developed in our individual and collective lives. The placement of the South node, or dragon’s tail, shows us what is ready to be released or revamped.
Since the summer of 2006 we have been called to quit trying to “fix it!”, "analyze it", or "figure it out", (Virgo south node); and to let go and let God, (Pisces north node). We have had opportunities to let go of rescuing and self sacrifice. We have been asked to develop spirituality, creativity and to follow our dreams.
As of Dec 9th, 2007, the Collective Karmic lesson has moved into the signs Aquarius (North node) and Leo (south node). Now the collective destiny has shifted to lessons about developing Aquarian traits and releasing immature expression of Leo. We will spend the next 18 months developing progressive alternatives, experimental solutions, and learning to think from “we are all in this together”(Aquarius). We will be asked to let go of being in love with our own self development (Leo) and to fall in love with the tribe (Aquarius), and to bring our gifts (Leo) out and use them for the tribe.
See the list below for some examples:
- Expressing deep authenticity (Aquarius) vs. performing and scripting everything (Leo).
- Cultivating diversity (Aquarius) vs. it's all about me (Leo).
- Developing the witness position (Aquarius) and letting go of getting lost in our roles (Leo).
- Creating community (Aquarius) vs. self centeredness and inequity (negative Leo)
We will be asked to be applying our individual self expression and creativity (Leo) for the good of something greater than ourselves (Aquarius). We are asked to let go of negative Leo traits such as narcissism, feeling too important or trying to gain love and approval. It is time to develop our unique self expression within a frame work that is good for the whole and with an eye to what is good for the next generation.
The lessons of this time will help us let go of worrying about not being loved or performing to gain acceptance so that we can come from deep authenticity with no apology. An Aquarian weakness we must overcome is that of running away, while we develop the ability to give ourselves and others the space to contribute our uniqueness.
Romantically, we are asked to release our attraction to the glamour of romance (Leo) and to slow down and create success in relationships by discovering who the other person really is (Aquarius) before beginning sexual relationships. We are to let go of scripting everything and to look past our own projections and accept what is actually being offered. We will grow by allowing others to give to us and by graciously receiving the gift of their love in whatever form they package it (or offer it). We may also be asked to release self reliance and “do it myself” tendencies while we gracefully invite or accept the help of others. We must create win-win situations and not just focus on "what I want.”
In the end, the lesson of this phase will teach us that when we think in terms of contributing to the tribe (Aquarius) we will find the love and approval (Leo) we crave will already be included.

New Year's Message 2008
Since I was 10 years old I have believed I was here on earth to be a part of a new spirituality. At 10 I would have said I was here to be part of a new religion as I had not yet separated the two concepts (and I would have added that all religions had a piece of the truth and that none of them had it all and the new religion would take what worked from each of them and put it together in a new way).
So, needless to say I was attracted to the so called “New Age movement”. What the New Age movement meant to me at the time was the idea of honoring and blending all old spiritual paths in a new way. It meant letting go of dogmatic religious structures which said “this is the only way”. We came to speak of Spirituality, not of Religions (the forms and structures man had developed to express Spirit).
I tried to identify why I cared about blending the spiritual paths and came to know it was part of evolution; part of mankind’s maturation, to embrace a broad inclusive experience of Spirit. To help others claim their own ability to connect directly to Spirit in a meaningful way not dictated by a form someone else made up became my imperative.
What I have found worked for me out of my explorations is something I have named Eclectic Spirituality. I believe all religious forms have value and have parts of the puzzle of life, and Spirit. My Guides are fond of saying that if established religions had all the pieces we would no longer need to be here.
I have found the fundamental principals of Spirituality are love, peace, joy, light, openness, and abundant life for all. And after 52 years of consciously watching and participating in creating this new Spirituality, I believe that what I knew as a child was that I was here to be part of the Evolution of Mankind’s relationship with Spirit.
Now why I am writing about this is that I want to share with you through the astrological perspective where we are regarding this Spiritual evolution. I am an astrologer amongst others things and astrologically speaking the last 12 years of Pluto’s passage through the heavens has brought this issue foreword for all mankind. Pluto has been in the segment of the heavens called Sagittarius, the sign of the philosopher and the seeker of spiritual truth. Pluto, being an underworld Deity, has dredged up for all to see the folly of ridged religious beliefs and the use of religion to excuse violence and domination. Pluto has pushed us as a world to transform our beliefs and find room for all religions and spiritual paths.
And now currently, as Pluto leaves Sagittarius, having matured us philosophically by making us look at the skeletons of fundamental thinking, it is about to start in on a 15 year journey through the sign of Capricorn. What Pluto will do in Capricorn is dredge up from the depths of our individual and collective subconscious what ever shadows are in the way of our giving form to what our spirit finds meaningful. We will be asked to face our shadows and take a stand, step up to the plate and walk our talk responsibly.
Over the next 15 years Pluto, the archetype of transformation, in Capricorn, the sign of form and structure, will transform worn our structures and help us to embody evolved institutions, including political, business, and family structures.
Capricorn is a feminine sign whose original symbol was the sea goat representing a blending of the feminine (the ocean) and the masculine (action of walking on the planet). Pluto in Capricorn is calling us to manage the structures we build from the feminine circular way of concern for the future generations and the well being of all on the planet.
At first we may have to meet the shadow of Capricorn which is fear based control but over the next 16 years we will be taught true control is over ourselves, our fear and about staying on the highest path. We will be asked to look at where we have thought we were too small to make a difference and step up and take personal responsibility for our individual part in the evolution of the forms and structures that are out of harmony with sustaining life on the planet. It is time to embody love, light, peace, joy and abundant life for all.
