The Milky Way contains about 300 billion stars and the sun (see arrow) is just one of them.

We are Living in Exciting Times

We are living through a most exciting time in the history of the planet. On 12th December, 2012, for the first time in 26,000 years, our sun re-aligns with the Galactic Centre, and the Earth, for the first time on 13,000 years, will be moving towards the centre of the galaxy instead of away from it. The resulting re-alignment is bringing about a massive shift in the energies of the Earth – her Kundalini energy is changing locations, at the same time as our sun, the central life source for Earth, is lining up with the central sun, the Galactic Centre and the heart of the galaxy. This alignment to the heart of the ‘Great Mother’ heralds the re-emergence of the Divine Feminine and a Shift from a predominance of masculine to feminine energy being expressed through all life forms and structures on Earth.

With this momentous alignment, Earth and all of us who live within her embrace, are experiencing powerful energetic influences that cannot help but transform the planet. The call is for humans to come from the heart rather than the head, to be guided by feelings rather than logic and to value our ability to contain and live in joy rather than in pursuit of the accrual of wealth and other externalised material markers of ‘success’.

Astrology

Astrology has been employed since the beginning of civilisation to recognise trends and celestial influences in human affairs. Records show that in Egypt some 6200 years ago, the interpretation of heavenly movements was used to assist the public welfare and uphold the decisions of the pharoah. It wasn’t until 332 BC during the occupation of Egypt by Alexander the Great, that  individual personalised horoscopes became popular. The reading of the individual horoscope has been the choice of royalty and  the wealthy down throughout the centuries and has only come into disrepute with the Cartesian influence of ‘I think therefore I am’ that has dominated human consciousness in the ‘Scientific Age’ of the past few hundred years. Human history has much wisdom embedded in past which is beginning to resurface with the Shift away from this singularly rational world-view that has dominated the last few centuries.

Heaven and Earth

In ancient times, life on this planet was described as expressing the ‘Harmony between Heaven and Earth’.

‘Heaven’ in this context can be seen to be the canopy of the heavens with the sun, the planets of the solar system, the moons circling the planets, including our own, the asteroids and the millions of glittering stars strewn across the night sky. Indeed it refers to the vast Universe in which our tiny planet is suspended and interconnected with and which enables it to survive and thrive.

Astrology is the study of these celestial influences, particularly from the significant bodies in close proximity to our living planet, on the myriad of  life forms which exist in ecological balance on the planet Earth.

Each planetary body, asteroid and satellite (moon) resonates at a unique energetic frequency that has an effect on everything in its neighbourhood, including planet Earth. Together, the frequencies of all the bodies makes up a ‘tapestry’ that shifts and changes, minute by minute, according to the position of the heavenly bodies in relation to one another as they perpetually circle in space.

Here on planet Earth, human beings, and other living beings, are affected by these energetic streams from the Heavens, especially at birth when the particular energetic configuration that was present in the skies at that critical moment creates an energetic blueprint that the individual carries for life. In effect, it becomes the energetic ‘signature’ of that person, affecting their physical, emotional and psychological make-up in specific ways and at specific times during their lifetime.

Popularly this ‘signature’ is described by the twelve signs that represent the twelve major stellar constellations in close proximity to the earth. A person’s unique astrological sign is determined by the position of the sun in one of these ‘signs’ at birth. The signs progress through a predictable pathway with the planet’s yearly orbit around the sun. It is this annual trek of the ‘signs’ that the weekly columnists in glossy magazines write about.

But of course, the sun’s position in the birth chart  is not the whole story because the sun is not the only heavenly body to take into account. All the other planetary bodies, asteroids and satellites (such as the various moons)  generate a multitude of different permutations and computations that provide the depth and fine-tuned differences that make up the individual chart.

Your Unique Birth Chart

When you have your chart done, the astrologer will map the unique ‘pattern’ that was frozen in time and imprinted on the energetic template of your psyche, and the cellular waters of your body, at the time of your birth. Your unique configuration plots the position of each major planet in relation to the stellar constellations that are doing their yearly ’round’, along with the angles of the planets and how they are in juxtaposition to one another. Because of major distinctions in the primary configurations of the planets and the constellations at the time of birth, some charts are more fortunate than others and vice versa.

By analysing your birth chart, an astrologer can assist you with identifying your strengths and weaknesses, even to the point of telling you at what stage in your life journey you may be expected to face them.

Heaven’s Influence on Humanity

Because certain planets take a lot longer to circle the sun they exert influence on whole generations – that is, they are placed similarly in the birth charts of people born over an extended period of time. For example, one of the outer planets Pluto has an orbital period lasting for 248 Earth years. Astrologers are keenly noting the influence of the juxtaposition of certain of these ‘long-term planets’ which clearly indicates that humanity is, at this particular time going through massive changes in their values system and old structures etc.

According to astrologer Jeannie Monks, “The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction of 2010 – early 2011 will take place during the peak of the Saturn opposite Uranus square Pluto T-Square. This is likely to coincide with unexpected new beginnings, expansive impulses and creative breakthroughs of many kinds that will shape the whole – some immediately visible to public awareness, some of a more hidden nature that will fully emerge later.” In other words we are going to experience lightning bolts of awareness that will shock us into new and higher levels of consciousness.

How do we handle the changes that are happening on a global level faster than the speed of light, as the Universe itself transits into a higher frequency vibration? We are affected and the changes are being felt by us all with rapid climate change, economic uncertainty on a global level, religious traditions showing cracks in the foundations, a push driven from the populace to withdraw from wars and boundary skirmishes and here in Australia, upheaval in political circles that appears to be blazing the trail to new and untrodden pathways to achieve political solutions.

Astrology and Spirit of Woman Australian Wild Flower Essences

Flower essences have come through in these times to assist humanity to transit these momentous changes. They carry a high frequency vibration that entrains with our own energy system to clear distortions and to bring clarity and love to the fore so that we express our highest potential in any given situation. Spirit of Woman Flower Essences are uniquely attuned to the emerging Divine Feminine, the primal energy entering the planet under current celestial influences. This energy carries the resonance of love and compassion, cooperation, support and service to humanity and a deep desire to conserve and support the earth’s delicate eco-systems, groaning under the old regime of rape pillage and plunder.

As evolving humans we are being asked to take responsibility for ourselves and others, to recognise and surrender to the interconnectedness of all life, to adapt to the rapid changes by going with the flow, to find our bliss and designate that as our highest vocation, to move from competition to cooperation and to love to live and live to love.

How does this New Reality look? In human terms it represents a heart-centred reality where living a loving, joyous existence will take precedence over other more mundane life ambitions that prompt greed and self-promotion. As this change filters through all human existence, cooperation will take the place of competition, transparency will prevail leading to a focus on the common good and individuals will value their feelings and intuition over reason, seeking to cultivate their higher wisdom as the navigating guiding light throughout their life journey. Peace will prevail and harmony with nature will be reinstated.

How can you make the most of this amazing time in the history of the Earth to express your highest potential and live a life of joy, the deepest desire in the human heart?

The asteroids in Astrology represent the Divine Feminine archetypes, each contributing a valuable and essential facet of the feminine psyche. Their placement in your birth chart describes your strengths and challenges in how the Divine Feminine expresses itself through you.
