Inner Strength to Endure & Triumph through Resurrecting our Creative Nurturing Feminine

June 30, 2018 Connecting the Dots Report



Today’s Connecting the Dots report brings us inner strength to endure and triumph as we resurrect the creative nurturing feminine within. Our ancestral lines are being upgraded and shaken loose of fear and sabotage patterns as we illuminate and activate our own spark of revolution and resurrection.  Look to the oracles of The Stag (#wildwoodtarot), New Birth reversed (#sacredrebeloracle) and the #sabian symbol 17º Sagittarius (see images); these link into today’s Jupiter (rules Sagittarius very much the Stag) in Scorpio (all about resurrection); this Jupiter-Scorpio is in resonance with the 17-Sag degrees making it potent especially with its square to the Mars/Moon on the South Node (past life) and squaring Venus-Leo.  Venus-Leo brings in a YOD (finger of God today) TRULY being resurrected by the touch of the divine (Neptune-Pisces quincunx Venus); she is birthed by the push to transform and release her creations by her own authority with Pluto-Capricorn.  The Nodal axis at 6-LEO / 6-AQU is in resonance with the June 27th potent ancestral Full Moon (it was at 6º Cancer/Capricorn with its rulers conjunct during the peak of the full moon - Moon and Saturn at 6º Capricorn).  We are breaking old cycles (Mars), upgrading our own authority and activating our leadership of our own destiny especially if we come into our heart-center, in alignment with the Truth of the Universe and of our Soul’s intent.  Go gently with yourself as you find your new skin with the birth of a new you.  


Planetary ‘Weather’ Today (June 30, 2018 astrological transit):  In addition to the points discussed above, Mercury is helping to bring communication and self-expression more fully into a creative and heart-centered place (at least that is an evolutionary GOAL with it conjunct the North Node).  When that same Mercury is not engaging in creative or compassionate navigating, it is self-critical, mental vitality weakened and can bring self-centered needs to over analyze or over talk.  Venus-Leo that is blinded to her own worth will have paradoxical difficulty in standing in her own authority and rebirthing herself, landing her in overwhelm, chaos and even victimhood (it can also be self-inflicted or other sabotage because her self-worth is magnetizing lower vibrations). There is potent power to clear away that old pattern with the New Birth oracle and 17-Sagittarius Phoenix Rising, strengthened by the Stag.  It takes courage to face into our own self-defeating patterns and stop projecting our failings to perform and be recognized by our audience on the various outside forces; ultimately we are the ones in charge of our own performance and own ability to stand in our authority.  With these transits and affirmed by the oracles, there is considerable opportunity to shake lose those old self-imposed bonds and Soar into the Our Glory!       

Today’s Sabian Symbol – Sagittarius 17 -  AN EASTER SUNRISE SERVICE DRAWS A LARGE CROW * RESURRECTION * COMMUNITY EXPRESSIONS OF FAITH * PEACE RALLIES * RISING PHOENIX * REBIRTH * RELEASE OF DOUBT AND DESPAIR * RENEWED SENSE OF LOVE, FAITH, COMPASSION
There is a need for a communal or tribal connection that revives our creative flow as Resurrection of the inner truth of our nature.  That connection to nature and a ‘familial’ (let’s just call it true-ancestors) tribe gives us a foundation to build the inner strength (linking to the Stag) that gives us the courage to step outside our old patterns and old identities to rebirth our Truth Essence that can bring forth a sense of love, faith and compassion because we are connected and contributing through our creations to this life.  Watch out for going through the motions of a ceremonial / spiritual practice; also beware of Messianic complexes or closed-mind spiritual practices that exclude the recognition of compassion for all beings.  When engaging in this Resurrection energy for the next several days you will have a high resonance with the Jupiter, Venus, Pluto and Neptune energies noted above.  It is a potent time to take stock of your spiritual practices and let go of old self-sabotaging patterns.  
The Stag (Lion Strength) from the Wildwood Tarot* STRENGTH * HEART-CENTEREDNESS * COURAGE* RESPONSIBILITY TO OBSERVE SACRED LAWS * REAPING WHAT ONE SOWS – REALIGNMENT OF PERCEPTIONS IS DUE * DETERMINATION THAT IS SOLID, HUMBLE & RELIABLE
The Stag is a combination of Capricorn, Leo and some Taurus energies.  That combination places the Stag’s energy squarely into the Physical Center of our well-being – giving the opportunity to ground the high frequency downloads and interference coming in from all around you.  It allows you to come into your heart because it is intimately tied with the Natural world; if you need or wish to tap into the Stag’s energy, go out into nature, barefoot, and hug a tree.  The Stag also loves for us to embrace the Divine Laws of Nature and Mother Earth where we honor the resources of the earth and all beings on it; it is an environmental protector.  Rejecting the Stag energy brings a weakened karmic state of affairs. 
New Birth, Guarded Vigilantly REVERSED - (Sacred Rebels Oracle – Alana Fairchild)[i] * FRESHLY RELEASED OLD PATTERNS THAT MAY BE LINGERING * SABOTAGE AND FEARS ARE SUBSIDING * NEEDING TO ENGAGE THE CREATIVE ENERGIES THAT ARE NEW * SENSITIVE AND VULNERABLE BUT GAINING STRENGTH 
With the reversal of this card, the New Birth that was so carefully guarded because you had felt bombarded by fears and sabotage is finding a waning of the insecurities as the life of the new creation is gaining strength (thanks to the Stag and Venus Yod position in the heavens).  Continue to clear the clutter of patterns and other attachments to clear your Sacred Heart Space so it that Venus-Leo’s creative heart can really step into her authority.


Closing:
May you find your heart-center Truth and ride the updraft of these lovely energy.  Many blessings.  

So be it!  With all the blessings of my heart, may this be part of CONNECTING THE DOTS TO A THRIVING YOU!

Compassionate Removal Doesn't Always Work - Sometimes you've got to get Aries-Scorpio on things


Self-Sabotaging? Toxic Situations?  Stagnation? Needing to Rebirth in Alignment with the Playfulness and Flow of the Universe

June 4, 2018 Connecting the Dots Report


Following the Purging of the Temple and Hygiea shift into Aries on June 3 (see my Connecting the Dots Report), it was undeniably apparent that self-sabotage and toxic situations have been holding back the playful flow of creativity, intuition and support of Universal Truth.  With the appearance of four (4) live and active scorpions in my Arizona home yesterday afternoon and at bed time, I received a shocking and undeniably clear message about the importance of this lesson.  Today’s Connecting the Dots Report is a blending of two days of oracles because they all speak to the imperative nature to engage the inner child and release the toxic patterns of stagnation, self-sabotage and engagement in limiting, dualistic views.  Here’s where this is stemming from:


Yesterday and Today’s Energies[i]:
Scorpion Medicine – the REAL THING FOUR TIMES in one day– * Transformation and Empowerment * Letting go of TOXIC situations * Determination and SELF-PRESERVATION * REBIRTH after ENDINGS * Power to HEAL and CARE FOR OTHERS * FACING FEARS AND SHADOWS * ASTROLOGICAL CONNECTIONS: PLUTO, SCORPIO AND 8TH HOUSE. 
Astrologically, Jupiter has been in Scorpio, retrograde, since March 8th through July 10th – traveling ‘alone’ that retrograde motion has put a lot of doubts and reconsiderations of all the big plans and dreams we may have had; it is in large part directly behind our self-sabotage (ties to the Release the Dark Wound card below) as individuals; as a collective we’ve been forced to face the darker elements of our world’s belief systems (which is a reflection of what’s going on within ourselves too).  Pluto’s excruciating slow drag and zig-zagging over 20-21º Capricorn since last fall (about the time Jupiter went into Scorpio), has felt like a constant open dark wound (in ourselves and collectively) that just can’t let us move on into the Jupiterian happiness and expansion until we do the Capricorn work of making things practical and measurable while facing the digging pain of needing to rebirth ourselves (Pluto and Scorpio) into something more meaningful and authentic (to ourselves and the Universal Truth).  It’s been an incredible time for growth on a personal and soul level; but it continues to dredge up that Scorpion TOXIC sting that could lay us out if we’re not careful. 

Yesterday’s Sabian Symbol #351 – Pisces 21-  A Little White Lamb, A Child and a Chinese
Servant (Purity, Innocence and Watchfulness)[ii]  * PURITY OF SPIRIT (MODESTY & SIMPLICITY) * TAKING CARE OF OTHERS * PURE LIVING * ALIGNMENT TO SOUL-PURPOSE * BEING OF SERVICE WITH HUMILITY * HEALING SELF AND OTHERS
Reconnecting to the inner child full of creative ideas and dreams (Very Jupiterian and also Pisces – related to Neptune’s very long transit through its own sign of Pisces) brings an opportunity to align with your soul purpose, thereby healing yourself and giving you the opportunity to be of service to support and health others.  This oracle is directly linked to today’s ‘The Wanderer’ and yesterday Page of Vessels – Otter - for their innocence and child-like playfulness that is required (see below). The references in the ‘Chinese Servant’ brings in an element of the alternative way of doing things that can provide support and protection.  We have to be willing to lean into that other worldly support; this concept is further supported by Today’s Sabian of 7-Leo.  The caution is the victim mentality or experience; it is also not ‘growing up’ and taking on the responsibility of being in service carrying out your soul-purpose.  It is racial prejudice too because of the symbols reference to the ‘foreign’ servant. 

Today’s Sabian Symbol #127 – Leo 7-  The Wonder of the Constellations of Stars in the Night Sky (COSMIC ORDER) * THE BIGGER PICTURE * ASTROLOGY * WHAT DOES LIFE MEAN TO ME? * SYNCHRONICITIES * BEING STAR-STRUCK
‘Why are we here and what does my life really mean?’ may be lingering in your hearts and minds lately, especially with the intensity of all that has been occurring in the world from global politics to major natural disasters (yesterday another major volcanic eruption began in Guatemala killing dozens of people added to the persistent ‘less violent’ destruction of Hawaii’s Kilauea that has been going on for over a month now).  We are getting this individual and collective calling from Uranus’s newly arrived position in Taurus (requiring us to refine and upgrade what we value and what our resources are) as well as Mars near-retrograde position in Uranus’ sign of Aquarius.
  We are being pushed to get a hold of who we really are and make grounded and potentially shocking changes to express that creativity in a meaningful way that is heard. Note too that Aquarius and Uranus are directly linked to Astrology and Astronomy (doubling the importance of this Cosmic Order card given the potency of today’s transits). With the Moon transiting yesterday and today in Aquarius the Uranian influence is very strong.  The Caution with this symbol is ignoring the practicalities of how to carry-out those shifts or overlooking the details; it can also be that we are so shocked and frozen in place for the awe of how massive a shift is in process and try to pretend we can’t do anything about it or that it’s not really happening. 

Page of Vessels – Otter -- from the Wildwood Tarot * CREATIVITY and IMAGINATION * A MESSAGE TO CONNECT TO THE INNER CHILD AND THE MAGIC IT BRINGS * A CHANCE FOR LOVE AND DEEP FEELINGS AND PASSION * A LIFE INFUSED WITH SPIRIT OF LOVE AND PASSION * LIGHTHEARTEDNESS
This was the card for yesterday; it signaled to lighten-up and allow for the creativity flow to come by being more child-like – full of wonder, imagination, dreams and boundless sense of everything.  With “The Wander” and Pisces 21 above, there is a tripled emphasis of engaging the inner child. The caution, of course, as noted above, is grounding those potentialities with practicalities and not getting caught in sabotaged reluctance to leap because of those same practicalities. 

The Wanderer (also known as the FOOL in traditional Tarot) REVERSED #0 -- from the Wildwood Tarot * FAITH IN THE PROCESS DOUBTED * NAIVETY & FOOLISH INNOCENCE * OVER-TRUSTING * UNGROUNDED RISKS * IMPULSIVENESS.  
The Reversed Wanderer (the Fool) reminds us to have practicalities to this boundless vision of our inner child; while it’s about growing up in our expectations of this dream, it is an empowering card when we realize the Wanderer brings us the unknown, delivers inspirations from left field and keeps our life’s full of wonder and excitement.  The key is balancing the leaps of faith with calculated steps toward where the jumping off point is, jettisoning excess baggage while bringing along tools (wings) to guide ourselves to safety on the other side of the plunge.  Being prepared and aware makes that leap not only exhilarating but garners the support of the Universe.  The transit of Neptune in Pisces is, in its most naïve state (not the evolved perspective) the utterly boundless and magical child trusting the goodness of life without worries of how things are to unfold; but in that naïve state we inevitably experience overwhelm and possibly victimization. Chiron and Hygiea recently entered Aries (see my June 2 report) out of Pisces (that same Neptune naivety influence was on them) and will be dipping back in there for a few months starting in the fall 2018; as discussed in my recent report, Chiron and Hygiea are our healing potentials by engaging in the Aries (Mars) principle of breaking old patterns, releasing baggage and seeking our true selves like the Wanderer; Aries / Mars fights to shed the victim state to gain it’s power, voice and creative expression.  Thus, with Chiron and Hygiea’s help from the transits we can lighten our karmic baggage and engage our creativity to salve our deepest wounds of the inner child as we take the plunge into our new selves.  Mars/Aries is impulsive like the reversed Wanderer.  Thankfully, transiting Mars is in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus, so it is requiring we have strategy, calculated risks and seeing the full scope of our trajectory (Aquarius and Uranus) before we leap so that there are resources (Taurus) there to support our flight.  The caution is over-calculating the plans with too much detail losing the inspirations and spontaneity that gives the Wanderer the potency it needs. 

Release the Dark Wound, Let Love Live #25 - REVERSED - (Sacred Rebels Oracle – Alana Fairchild)[iii]  * SELF-SABOTAGE & SELF-DOUBTS FADING * LOOSING THE PERFECTIONISM * LETTING CREATIVE IDEAS COME TO LIFE * RELEASING THE CRITICIMS STRANGLEHOLD * FINDING COURAGE TO FEEL THE JOY & EXCITEMENT OF INSPIRATION
The scorpions (and Jupiter-Scorpio, Pluto-Capricorn) came along yesterday to remind us to release those dark wounds, face our fears and shadows so we can let our creativity and passion for life live.  It reminds us to stop judging (Capricorn) the ideas and visions (or the projects in process) to the point of never letting them see the light of day.  We must realize the toxins are within our own system and need bled out, captured-released or exterminated in order to begin to find true joy and thriving. 

Focus on the Light #37 – REVERSED- (Sacred Rebels Oracle – Alana Fairchild) * FOCUS ON YOUR PURE-HEART INTENTIONS WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS * UNIVERSAL SUPPORT FOR YOUR DEDICATION (IF ON YOUR PATH) * BLOCKING YOUR OWN SUCCESS THAT COULD BE FANTASTIC (reversed status) * DOUBTING YOUR WORTHINESS TO CARRY OUT THIS TASK.    This card was pulled this morning emphasizes all the themes above.

Planetary ‘Weather’ Today (June 4, 2018 astrological transit):  The transits have changed only slightly from two days ago; thus I encourage you to read that report.  Its summarized lesson:  “We do have our work cut-out for us to take advantage of the Aries transits now until the Fall 2018.  We do need to come into heart center as individuals, so it can happen collectively – it is a daily action of stopping and feeling from a place deep in your heart before interacting with rhetoric or old patterns; it is a daily action to align to a place of seeing the other in its ‘sameness’ with you before polarizing the exchange.  Make efforts to understand where they may be coming from (there is some root fear and insecurity at the heart of every one of our outrageous behaviors).  
The key change from the 2nd of June is the movement of the Moon (Mercury and the Sun have only crept up a couple degrees and are still contributing to Jupiter’s Yod – need to purge the toxins).  As discussed above in the 7-Leo and Wanderer, the Uranus and Aquarius influences are a focal point today.  The Moon opposing Ceres’s need to find our own personal (Moon) happiness through reconnecting with the Child (Ceres) by getting the darker Plutonian / Scorpionic (Jupiter-Scorpio ruled by Pluto-Capricorn) forces to come into a balanced transformed way of being; the Aquarius Moon is giving us perspective on this transformation process and abilities to tap into higher intellect and creativity for our emotional healing process of those dark wounds.     



How can we stop self-sabotaging, releasing the toxic situations and get out of stagnation and find that flow with the Universe guided by our inner child? 
Tying this all together… It is to continue the Purging of the Temple with connection to the Mars/Aries principles in the healers Chiron and Hygiea.  It’s one of Scorpionic medicine that we must face into that darkness and bled out the toxins.  Engage in the Martian-Venusian-Uranian energies that are so potent today especially (but for months to come with Mars-Aquarius squaring Uranus-Taurus); those energies give us the opportunity to be see things from a higher perspective, gain clarity (Uranus/Aquarius) and move on (Mars) from stagnating old ways of relating to our inner self and others around us (Taurus).  The caution with the Uranus/Aquarius principle, the Moon reminds us, is rushing to fast to ‘rise above’ emotional wounds that need time to heal (Moon); the Scorpionic principle also demands lots of time to process emotional wounds (but it can also inflict them); that Scorpionic drag can help keep the ‘spiritualizing’ Uranus/Aquarius from too quick of skipping on.  Scorpionic energies are potent for a long time here and have been part of the stagnation because we are look at the shadows. 

We need to HEAL and EMBRACE OUR INNER CHILD. 

So be it!  With all the blessings of my heart, may this be part of CONNECTING THE DOTS TO A THRIVING YOU!
