Weekly Astrology

The silent re-birth rises

A silvery scythe cutting the night

Tender as a new scar.

Her mewling light shadowed in cloud

Sets unknown templates

Initiates new destinations.

Push back the darkness

Heed the call to ‘beginner’s mind,’

Skywalk her spirit,

The talisman waits within.

Turn now, with courage as your sacrament

To enlist for the unknown journey.

by Samantha Cameron

(Latin root of the word ‘sacrament’ –sacramemtum, was a pledge, or oath, with no religious meaning, often taken by Roman soldiers when enlisting.)

“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.”  Joseph Campbell

Venus at the Threshold

The door opens upon her radiance,

The quiet poise of a still-life beauty

Wearing wings

Visible to all who know her.

We knocked seeking water, to receive bread.

We arrived in tears, to be held by hope and

Fed by luxe generosity.

We surrendered all, embraced in laughter.

She remains here, within,

A forever talisman of Grace,

Luminous perception at the ready

Waiting for the knock at the door.

“It begins with me.  It ends with me, no matter what life offers.  I am my own Alpha and Omega”

Wisdom Body Notes for March 27-April 5 by Samantha Cameron

Headlong we run into the Spring Portal of new life, beckoned by the 2nd spring Eclipse at the New Moon of 9 Aires, on 31st.  As this is an Eclipse of the North Node, we are invited to explore avenues of spirit and soul growth, despite the heaving changes and emotional depth charges, pay greater attention to the quiet voice calling you upward and inward, using Eclipse energy to cleanse and release. As all New Moons are thresholds for fresh starts, you may feel that with the Eclipse chaos involved it’s difficult to know how to start.  My advice?  Pause, listen to your intuition, let go of the old voice of anxiety, refuse to engage in habits that harm, or relationships that do not honor you.

Spring stands at her threshold without objection Or larking second thought. Within chartreuse landscapes Pink buds push through old skin Where they have cocooned in liturgies of peace Embraced by cold grace

An equinoctial balance as day dissipates dark
In momentary side-by-side harmony, Sandwiched in Mysteries of Meta and material.
A soulful asylum of neither right nor wrong, Here, not there, first or last
Let us stop to honor Gaia’s pulsing extravagance  Before onward,
Before life, green with love, bursts old boundaries.

The Equinox, like the Solstice, are meta moments of higher harmony, beckoning our connection to Mother Earth and her place in the Cosmic firmament.  They are opportune shifts when we can replenish personal energies and set intentions to move into a new season, especially from winter dark to vibrant spring green. 

This year, oh lucky us, Ostara is wedged between the spring Eclipses, March 14 and 29th, helping us refresh consciousness by clearing old debris and tired ideas.  Chaotic as this may be, it adds to the spiritual drive and magic of the Equinox, when the veil is very thin between worlds. This energy is a gift.  Use it wisely to create a higher, loving vision of your life.

LEAN BACK

Lean back, dear heart, empty handed 

Inner wrists revealed, palms open to surrender.

Turn from grasping and fear-fueled choice,

Arc into sunlight

Risk unknown happiness,

In windblown hair and laughter.

Now, wrapped in courage

Take the leap!

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. 

Wisdom Body Notes for March 14-20 by Samantha Cameron

I had to slow my dance in awe of the plethora of Cosmic energies directing traffic. It is important to keep the choreography simple, as we are entangled enough as is.  Yes, it feels confusing, chaotic, perhaps compressing.  Yes, it feels like a standstill moment as planets turn inward and backward, and Eclipses bounce us around with demands of surrender and change.  What was simple is now slippery. What were common structures and boundaries are now boundaryless and confusing.  We are in the throes of mayhem and mystery, magic and mess……clearly a time to reconsider a new choreography!

Let this Blood Red Eclipse lunation be a portal into surrender.  Let buried rage be revealed and healed.  Suspend judgment in the coming weeks to fully integrate the inner process you are in.  With both Venus-the heart, and Mercury-the mind, now retrograde in Aires, the warrior, but deepening back into Pisces, the spirit~ our path forward is backward, twisting and turning to morph and regenerate.  Time to turn around and dance into unconscious depths for revelation.  If you would like some ‘movement guidance’ -go to https://shaktidances.com/shakti-dances/ and scroll down to choose one of the magical dances to join.  I promise you will fill with light.

The Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces/Virgo intensifies desires for evolution, acting as a sextant into growth by dismantling the past.  We care, we can heal long-standing issues asking for forgiveness and mercy- Pisces.  But the Virgo Moon requires we analyze and revitalize what has value before relinquishing everything.  Be mindful of holding judgment and /or needing to be right.  Things are not necessarily are as they appear, especially in this doorway between the two spring Eclipses.  As we dive deeper within, ask for new light to expose dark corners that have imprisoned you.

It is an intensely complex time therefore it is imperative to keep it simple, mindful, heart-happy, compassionate, practical AND magical! Become the visionary you long to be.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BODIES! If you are not yet on fire this birthday, give it a couple of weeks, then you will feel flames heating up.  Use this time between the Eclipses to plan your year ahead, to acknowledge what your heart yearns for, to release the past without judgment.  Given time, you will find that this is an extraordinary birthday year of transformational shifts and change.  Don’t get distracted.  Stay on point for what matters most to you!!

We are here to be alive! This is our work despite tears, angst, destruction and sorrow.  Consider the idea that YOU chose to be here, alive for ‘the changing of the guard’.  You have heard me refer to the days we are living through as, ‘epic-epoch, threshold of a new era, and/or revolutionary times.’ All true!  Its unfolding is about to be more visible as we move through spring, with big outer planets moving direct to change signs.  Plus, we are about to be personally wrapped in the tangled arms of Venus dancing with Mars.  The celestial energies unfolding are unprecedented in our lifetime as we move into ‘The Aquarian Age’ in tandem to beginning of ancient Mayan Calendar.  Questions rise as to how we are to mindfully meet this quantum-unknown of change and transformation.  You can run but you can’t hide. You can tango with the devil but beware the tail. Whatever your moves, do them with heart, mindfulness, and higher intention.
