It's important to be informed. However, remember we can go beyond the negative drama by connecting to our Soul and subconscious mind and integrating the SHADOW. That is true Service to Others. Revelation - Zeitgeist BLACKWATER & Other Mercenaries North American Union
THE 2008 OVERVIEW by Solara 2008 is the year that we've been waiting for. Everything is absolutely ON THE LINE in 2008. This is MAKE OR BREAK TIME without question. What will help us most is centering our beings in the Heart of the Lotus. Rowing night and day with our full beings. Living our mastery in every single minute. And expanding our beings so that we become Master Servers of the One. We cannot afford to be sloppy with any aspect of our lives. Carrying any illusion within us will be extremely harmful and could hold us back. At this point in the game, we simply cannot allow ourselves to do anything untrue. And please remember: Don't doubt what you know to be true. And don't doubt who you really are. During the Monumental Year of 2008, our lives will undergo profound changes. There will be many doors closing and many doors opening. We will continually be rerouted until we connect with our truest path. All year long, we have the possibility of encountering a series of Major Intersections, each of which will be totally life changing. We will be super humanly busy all year. And we will often have to get things done in the midst of Choppy Surf in a Sea of Distraction. But we will have lots of energy and enthusiasm to achieve what's before us, as long as we are following the Compass of our Hearts and giving it everything we've got. Many of us will be called to change our place of residence, finding the perfect place where we can begin our New Lives. These new locations may well be in totally unexpected areas, such as a country that you never thought of moving to. There is an array of potential places to move to, just as there are several potential One True Loves. However, one place will call to us stronger than the others. We must remain open to any hints and clues as to where we should go, and let go of any preconceived personal preferences, knowing that when we connect with our perfect new location that it will have a very specific alignment with our True Destiny and Purpose that will be unquestionable. When the time is right to move, we will know exactly where we are meant to go. Many new people with whom we share a deep kinship will enter our lives. We will discover that the time for being independent and alone is over. Now we must live and work together with others who share our purpose and who are walking our same sacred paths. Because of this, some of us will start forming small hidden communities where we can set heightened energetic fields and live immersed in the Lotus World while we anchor the resonance of the Ultra Greater Reality for all. Our jobs will also undergo dramatic shifts. We may find ourselves changing our career direction and taking up something totally new and unexpected. There is a strong connection between our new careers and our creativity which is very important. Creativity and careers must now be fully merged and made manifest. Each of us must find our unique way of serving the One within the work we do, for without the component of service, we cannot be whole. This will fling open the door to abundance and the fulfillment of our Wildest Dreams. If we follow the deepest promptings of our Heart of Hearts and do what we would love to do, all will go well. But if we compromise ourselves in any way, we will get sidetracked and miss these amazing, once-in-a-lifetime Golden Opportunities. Throughout the year, there will be some shocking surprises. These will be shocking because they are so unexpected. And because this is the Time of Completion, we will occasionally feel twinges that we have reached the end of the world. Which it is. It's the end of the old world of duality and the beginning of a whole new era. And we came here specifically to be here at this time. In 2008, we shall reach the shining shores of our New Lives. We shall start creating our new foundations. We will forge new friendships. Our creativity will burst forth in our new careers. We will walk down the Path of True Love arm in arm with our One True Love, deeply grateful for the long journey that brought us here. And then we will forget our journey, releasing it to the cosmic dust, and simply live in the HERE and NOW.... In the NEW and TRUE. 2008 is the year that we've been waiting for....http://www.nvisible.com/
2008 By Eric Francis TWO THOUSAND EIGHT is a year of an unusual transition: Pluto will begin its move from Sagittarius to Capricorn. Pluto is one of those bottom-line planets. That is the energy you feel -- the energy of a threshold; it is Pluto changing signs. It sets the theme for the rest of what we experience, spreading out so wide that it colors the entire landscape of existence. With Pluto in Sagittarius between 1995 and 2007, we had many opportunities to focus our vision, and we may have done so with obsessive intensity. It may have been what some call a spiritual vision, of growth, enlightenment or a better world; or something you have perhaps decided was much less valuable.
The Pluto in Sagittarius phase became and remains a time of all things global, from world beat music to international cuisine restaurants; from 'free' trade agreements to the anti-globalization movements and the fair trade movement; and finally, global war on terror. Anyone with the power to do so kept making the pie higher. Capricorn is a more practical sign, the sign of structuring physical reality. Where Sagittarius meets Capricorn is the place where we begin the process of converting our ideals into tangible creations. This bodes in many different directions, because among other things, Capricorn is the sign of corporations, and for the past decade we have seen multinational firms put out a vision for what a fabulous place the world would be if they owned the whole place, down to the last little clam at the bottom of the deepest sea.
On an individual level, we need to take the visions we have held for ourselves personally, and for the world, and put them into action. We may feel that the world is an illusion and/or is not really subject to change -- but Pluto is the harbinger of progress. This power that is about to be turned loose on the known cosmos basically has no moral predisposition. It does the job we give it, yet to give it any job at all, we must take an actual risk, and dare to bear full responsibility for our choices. Pluto Enters Capricorn, Jan. 26, 2008 & Nov. 27, 2008Since the Chiron-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius, exact on Dec. 30, 1999, Chiron has been ahead of Pluto in the zodiac, as if 'running vanguard'. Thus, since late 1999 (astonishing as it was that this conjunction was on the eve of Y2K), Chiron covers the territory before Pluto arrives. I would be a lot more concerned about Pluto in Capricorn were it not for all we've learned during Chiron in Capricorn. And it's not just that we've learned; I am confident that Chiron's presence in the sign associated with powerful institutions has made life very difficult for certain political, religious and corporate leaders the during past three years -- extremely so. It's much easier to get away with murder when nobody is looking, and whether anyone is willing to admit it or not, we are looking. One of Chiron's properties is that it produces documentation. You might get a great psychic reading from Neptune, but with Chiron you can write down a tarot spread and bring it to another reader for a second opinion. The information that's come out the past three years, all of which has accumulated on the Internet, has a powerful bearing on the Pluto in Capricorn era, when the tendency will be for institutions, governments and corporations to try to consolidate their gains. Chiron will have raised awareness to the point where this is more rather than less difficult. Note that the 2008 election occurs with Pluto still in very late Sagittarius.Jupiter, Chiron, Neptune conjunction, May 23, 2009This one-time-only event occurs in the 27th degree of Aquarius near the end of both Neptune and Chiron's visit to Aquarius. It is exact to the degree. Curiously, it's exactly conjunct the asteroid Pandora, the first woman of Greek mythology (of 'Pandora's Box' fame and fortune). We can speculate that something comes out. Mercury and Memoria are in the aspect structure. Maybe it's a lot of old articles, video tapes and documents that people are finally ready to see. This is a culmination point in the Aquarian cycle; it looks to me like one of the high towers of the suspension bridge. I suggest that it's a crucial orientation point, particularly if 2012 is not quite visible or manifest to you yet. Something positive takes hold here. The evil of mankind is at once too obvious, and obvious enough to see. But finally, it's seen as the psychological wound that it is. There are several interesting aspects in this chart, including Nessus conjunct Psyche. Suddenly, it seems that history teaches people to learn from the psychological patterns that have become so pervasive. Another interesting aspect in the chart is a conjunction of Hylonome and Pholus in Sagittarius. I think we may get a look at the global suffering caused by the abuse of religious ideology, and make up our minds to do something about it.Chiron enters Pisces, Apr. 20, 2010 & Feb. 8, 2011The second of these is a shocking chart. The last of two ingresses to Pisces by Chiron, this chart also has six major planets in Aquarius and five in Capricorn. Something is up. Adding a further clue, Jupiter is sitting on the Aries point (at three degrees and 20 minutes of Aries) in a conjunction with Uranus in the next-to-last degree of Pisces. If you ask me, something has gotten very old and is looking to be made new. All the major planets except for Saturn and asteroid Juno are set to one side of the lunar nodes. Saturn in Libra is the only one that is to the other side, and it's about to be opposed by Jupiter in Aries (the 'two lifetimes in one' setup). Venus, Vesta and Pluto are in an exact conjunction in early Capricorn, squared off by Jupiter in Aries; technically all of this is sitting on the Aries point. The Sun is conjunct Mars. I'm sitting here thinking, "What is this a chart of?" and I'm hearing, "It's a good day for journalism." Anyway, it's the chart for the final ingress of Chiron into Pisces.Neptune enters Pisces, April 4, 2011 & Feb. 3, 2012I am looking at the chart of the first date above. Curious. The Moon is in the exact same degree as it is Feb. 8, 2011, the exact moment Chiron enters Pisces for the last time a year earlier. That's really really really strange; the Moon occupies one degree for two hours per month. So Neptune's first ingress into Pisces is at the lunar return of Chiron's last into Pisces. There are a couple of stelliums in this chart as well, this time one in Pisces and one in Aries, involving 10 planets. The North Node in Sagittarius is conjunct the Galactic Core -- this means that eclipses are gathering around the core in these years. There is an Aries New Moon conjunct Jupiter. Mars is conjunct Uranus in the second degree of Aries, square Pluto. Chiron and Neptune are conjunct in Pisces, with a three and a half degree orb.Venus Transit of the Sun, June 6, 2012This occurs near the return point of the 2004 Venus transit of the Sun; the aspect is about two degrees off. It is opposite the Great Attractor, closer than 2004. And it's a southern hemisphere event, visible below the equator. The Pholus-Hylonome-Ixion conjunction is still within two degrees of orb, opposite the occultation. There has just been a lunar eclipse. Uranus is coming in for a close square to Pluto, which square is being set off by the Moon to within a few minutes of arc. In other words, Uranus is square Pluto. And the Moon, approaching Pluto, is square Uranus to the degree. You could roast pork chops on this chart. I can only imagine what the transit itself is going to feel like. Uranus square Pluto, June 24, 2012, Sept. 19, 2012, & May 20, 2013This is THE pivotal event of the year and perhaps of the past 10 years. Occurring for the first time in the same month as the Venus transit, however, the magnitude is amplified. Uranus square Pluto is the aspect under which the word "revolution" was coined, according to Uranus cycle expert Richard Tarnas (author of The Passion of the Western Mind). The last major aspect on the 4th harmonic (90 degrees) was the Uranus-Pluto conjunction of the mid-1960s. It was in a relatively peaceful, integrated and community minded mutable sign, Virgo. This one, a major turning point (first quarter phase) in the Uranus-Pluto cycle, occurs from Uranus to Capricorn. I think we might be hearing the word revolution again. By definition, because it occurs early in the cardinal signs, this aspect involves the Aries point; but it really involves the Aries point because Uranus has just finished working the point, stirring up the intensity of the aspect from the first moment Uranus entered Aries. That was May 28, 2010. The Aries point means people -- THE people -- are involved in whatever process goes on. Uranus is usually pretty good to the people. He is a creator god, and a creative god; he is not afraid to buck and rear authority; and he's full of ideas. The Uranus ingress occurs with Pluto at about five degrees of Capricorn, Venus in early Chiron in the first degree of Pisces and Neptune about to change signs.Up for Grabs: the Infinity Point: Dec. 21, 2012I read in a book this summer, which I think was quoted from another book, and God knows when that was written, that the horoscope for Dec. 21, 2012, day 13.0.0.0.0 in the Mayan Long Count, was an "unsatisfying chart." I guess maybe they had not heard of Pluto yet; you never know, I think it was back in the 70s. In any event, there's no reason the chart has to look dramatic to be about something important, and also, this is not an event; it's a day in the life of a calendar. Furthermore, we have no idea what planets are going to be discovered between now and then, and therefore what degrees they are going to occupy. And that comment was made back before many planetary discoveries now available for use were made. For example, this chart contains a close grand conjunction in Sagittarius. That conjunction is on the Great Attractor, edging onto the Galactic Core, which pops the whole affair up to 90 times its size. It involves the following points (not including asteroids): the Great Attractor, Mercury, Charilko, Ixion, Pholus, Okhyroe, Hylonome, Quaoar and the Galacic Core, all within 12 degrees. This is not just in any 12 degrees, but on the sensitive galactic points used by the Mayans. None of these I mention are 'asteroids' -- which I have not checked yet. With the exception of Mercury, they are all either centaurs (planets like Chiron) or transneptunian planets, in the region beyond Pluto.++

2007 - by Marcus Mason You ain't seen nothin' yet... Things are about to get a whole lot faster and more intense next year... and the good news is the Abusers of Power can't possibly continue to resist these frequencies and energies !!! So, stay true to your deepest truth and integrity, and You Shall be Who You Are and All Will Be What It Is.
Still enjoying the ride? Or are you Just holding on tight?
2007 is Time to Let Go Completely and Trust your Innermost Will, which is One with the Divine / Universal Consciousness, which lies only Within You and Nowhere Else. No-one "out there" can have power over us, unless we give it away to them at some level, and next year - 2007, there is the possibility for the whole planet to begin to discover and know that this is a reality, as Pluto (you know, the one that isn't a planet any more) oscillates back and forth over the position of the Galactic Centre (26deg. 56mins. Sagittarius) - we're about to discover just how significant this "non-planet" can be. As the saying goes - "Anyone who does not believe that a very small thing cannot make a big difference, has never shared their sleeping back with a mosquito!"
The Story so Far: Fresh from dealing at a collective, global level with almost a year of the three outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) being retrograde (see last Update), Uranus was the last of these three to turn direct on November 20th. This seems to have resulted in some unexpected and rather shocking turns of events - the attempted storming of Stormont (interesting wordplay there), the Northern Ireland Parliament, and the poisoning of ex-Russian agent, Alexander Litvinenko, to give just a couple of examples. Oh, and then there's the upcoming "debate" about the foregone conclusion of the UK cabinet to spend billions to renew its nuclear deterrent, while our soldiers in Iraq remain inadequately equipped (Uranus and Pluto are a little bit involved here, methinks...uranium, plutonium...and the tendency for the outer planets to become so detached that they can lose touch with the day-to-day reality, in favour of some far off vision...or projection...or delusion if our deepest inner issues are not confronted).
However, the really, really good news is - Jupiter entered Sagittarius on Friday 24th Nov at 15.49 Universal Time (GMT) - hurrah! It will stay in Sagittarius for a year until 18th December 2007 - so make the most of it while you can, as it is the Blessing that will help to make everything else more acceptable. The only cautionary word here is don't expect waa-ay too much of Jupiter, as it can lead us to be over-optimistic and to exaggerate possibilities - however there is enough going on elsewhere to keep our feet firmly on the ground, and believe me, we are all going to need to do that if we are going to successfully integrate those Pluto/Galactic Centre Energies into our lives, our thinking, our feeling and our cellular structures...so, no big deal next year, just take one day at a time, or perhaps one minute at a time is better still...it's a bit like the Universe saying to us "learn to live in the moment...or else!" - Tough Love, huh?
So what will it all mean? The Galactic Centre (GC) currently lies in the direction of 26 degrees and 56 minutes of Sagittarius. We move very slowly in relation to the GC, so by next May 2007, the GC will have progressed all the way (1 minute of arc)to 26 degrees and 57 minutes. So, if you were to point a big enough telescope in that direction, you would see the centre of our Galaxy, if it were not for all the interstellar dust and debris that obscures the view. However, in 2002, observations made using gamma ray, X-ray, infrared, sub-millimetre and radio wavelengths finally led many astronomers to confirm that there is, as long suspected, a supermassive black hole at the GC, surrounded by hundreds of densely clustered stars.
Whatever lies at the centre of the Galaxy, it is in some way the motivating force behind the Galaxy, it is the core and the heart of the Galaxy, and the impulses that flow out from it physically, energetically and at the subtle-energy levels carry within them the impulses of the First Ray of Manifestation, the Ray of Power or Divine Will. This is akin to the Creative/Destructive force of Shiva. It is believed that roughly every 500million years the GC sends out a massive starburst, with hundreds of stars forming and very rapidly turning into supernovas, although we are not due one of those for another 200million years...phew!
Pluto is, if you like, the receiver of First Ray energies within our own solar system, so when it conjuncts the GC, it will be as if the Will of the Solar System Logos re-alignings fully with the Will of the Galactic Logos, and comes right down into our own planetary and human realms. We have been seeing the awakening of a gradual refinement in our understanding of First Ray energies with the discoveries of trans-Plutonian objects (TNO's/planetoids/dwarf planets/whatever) in the Kuiper belt - to date, we now have Quaoar, Sedna, Orcus, Varuna and Eris, (and the, as yet un-named 2003EL61 and 2005FY9) to help us differentiate and integrate these powerful and transformative frequencies that lie at the very edge of our outer understanding and inner spiritual experience...arguing about whether they qualify as planets or not seems somehow futile in the light of the profound energetic changes, opportunities and challenges which they are presenting to the Collective consciousness of our planet.
The Timing of Pluto / GC contacts Pluto makes its first exact conjunction with the GC on 29th December, 2006 - however, we will be feeling the approach of that already, as it is within 1 degree of orb of the GC now. There is an interesting sequence of cosmic events leading up to the Pluto/GC conjunction, which will make it touch us all at a very personal, as well a more detached spiritual level: On 8th Dec. Venus conjuncted Pluto, then on 18th Dec. the Sun conjuncts Pluto; on 20th Dec. the Moon conjuncts Pluto; on 26th Dec. Mercury conjuncts Pluto. All these planets will have passed over the GC before Pluto reaches it on 29th Dec. So first our emotional body (Venus) attunes to the Pluto/GC energies, then our spiritual-heart (Sun) attunes, then our energy body (Moon), then our mental body (Mercury), so by the time Pluto (our spiritual-will body) gets there, everything else will be either zinging in anticipation, or struggling to integrate these powerful GC energies, and perhaps in some cases producing physical symptoms as our physical body tries to integrate them. So, don't be surprised if you get strange abdominal symptoms (stomach and spleen - Venus), or maybe heart palpitations or anxiety feelings (Sun), or lower abdominal symptoms (kidneys, bladder, intestines, sexual organs - Moon), or throat and head symptoms, or mental confusion (Mercury) - the likelihood is that you would feel this wherever your most vulnerable areas normally lie. This is not to say that you will necessarily feel such symptoms, as many will not, but just to help understand what is happening if you do happen to experience unexplainable, weird, or undiagnosable symptoms. Remember that any pain or discomfort experienced in these regions is probably due to the resistances in your physical and energetic structure to these highly transformative energies pushing through the resistance of your cellular structure and crystallised energy patterns in the body, thoughts or feelings. So any form of energy-medicine could be an appropriate first choice at these times, (ie: acupuncture, cranio-sacral, homoeopathy, bowen, reiki, healing, kinesiology, energy-based massage, shiatsu, tui na, etc, etc) - symptoms, if they occur should pass quite quickly, although the really deep-rooted stuff may take longer and not get fully resolved until the end of the Pluto/GC conjunction next year. Wherever a symptom may be, regard it from the viewpoint of "how am I not expressing my true will in this area of my life? What is the underlying pattern of disempowerment that is causing my energy to get stuck here in particular?" When the energy shifts, then the symptoms will improve. (Of course, if such symptoms persist for a prolonged period then you should seek medical advice.)
Pluto/GC will bring up all of our power issues - how we use it, how we abuse it, how we accept it, how we fear it, how we give it away or blame someone else for what is wrong, how we separate ourselves from the Oneness, how it's all "the government's fault", or "the banks' fault", or "the terrorists' fault", or "the E.T's fault", and on and on. It is ultimately about seeing and fully understanding how and at whatever level we disempower ourselves, and thus prevent our lives from fully manifesting our true beauty, wisdom, strength, love and unlimited possibilities to be the creators within our own Universe. Pluto is challenging us first to fully align our spirtual will with the Divine/Cosmic Will, and then to step into the creative possibilities that this offers. Sounds simple put like that, doesn't it? And...we have the whole year to accomplish this, or rather to allow it to be accomplished through us. Pluto also represents how we project out, and then identify with the deepest levels of the Collective Shadow, so every time we "buy into" some negative collective belief, fear, judgment or opinion, we are giving away our Divine creative power and becoming more a part of the problem than the solution, and the more we project our beliefs or opinions out into the Collective Shadow, the more hopeless and disempowered we will feel that nothing is going to change for the better, or that it's too late to make a difference anyway.
It's not too late - IT'S NOW - it's only ever now, and we are the ones who can make a difference - NOW, by aligning positive thinking, with positive feeling and POSITIVE WILLING. Many have become so accustomed to feeling powerless at the Collective Will level that many of our positive thoughts, feelings, beliefs and affirmations just tend to fizzle out in the (apparently overwhelming) negativity of the Collective Shadow. It does not have to be that way, and it's not the way it works anyway. We may tend to feel disempowered when we believe that the politicians are getting it all wrong, or are complacent, or don't really get the magnitude of the problem, or have other secret agendas which we cannot influence. At the Collective Will level, when we think like this we are just reinforcing the negativity, and our mistaken belief that "they" have any power at all over us, or over outcomes.
However, just think back to the (literal) over-running of the Berlin Wall, and the subsequent collapse of Communism. This was recently used as a justification for the renewal of our nuclear deterrent, and a British Cabinet Minister (I forget which one) actually claimed that it was the maintaining of our strong deterrent which was the cause of the Collapse of Communism (quote "we won the Cold War") - no it wasn't - it was the Collective belief and conviction and re-taking of inner power by the people of Eastern Europe - plain and simple. So what looked like an impossible situation, literally changed overnight when the Collective Will became aligned, focused and strong enough to withdraw the projections and fears that kept the dictators in power. Similarly now with Iraq. Most people on the planet have known for some time that this was an ill-considered and probably illegal war, based on misinformation at best, or downright lies at worst. And most people on the planet have felt powerless to really do anything about it. However that deep Collective Conviction and Indignation has finally filtered up into the awareness of the "wise" elder statesmen of the Iraq Study Group (sounds cosy doesn't it) and its recommendations, so that now the only two people on the planet who don't think the continuation of our presence in Iraq is a good idea are Bush and Blair...and one of them's not that sure any more...so where does the power truly lie?
It actually starts from the bottom of the pyramid up, not from the top down. What is at the bottom supports what is at the top, but its so easy to lose sight of that. Imagine how much more powerful our individual will can be at affecting positive outcomes, when it aligns fully with a positive collective intention, and the Universal / Divine / Cosmic Will - now THAT'S DEMOCRACY at work. Aligning with the Universal Will has nothing to do with belief systems or religious viewpoints. It derives from going deep enough into our Core energy to allow the energy of Universal Will to remove the obstacles that the ego throws up, which prevent us from being fully empowered, positive, effective and creative participators in the processes of change on this planet. When we can align this level of will-awareness with spiritual wisdom and compassion, then nothing and no-one who abuses a position of so-called "power", can stand in the way of that. We literally do create our future at the collective level.
That's what's on offer from Pluto and the Galactic Centre in 2007 - take it or leave it, but it's a Once in a Lifetime Offer, and it won't come around again for another 240 years or so, so what have you got to lose?...well. the ego for one thing. Oh, and despite of what you may have read or heard in the past about Pluto being a dark and destructive force, it only appears to act in that way when we are in denial of the true creative power of our own inner Light...if you try to push the Creative Power of the Universe down into your Unconscious, sooner or later it will come up and bite you, just to get your full attention. The deeper you have pushed it into the Unconscious, the harder it will bite until you listen to it...it's the mosquito in the sleeping bag, or maybe the tarantula, or God forbid, the crocodile!
The Sequence of Events Note: Although the exact timings of the conjunctions are given below, Pluto remains close enough to the GC for it to have significant effect throughout the year, so the times given are likely to be the most intense and challenging turning points - the rest of the time in between, we will all be dealing with how to integrate these energies according to our own particular levels of awareness, depending on our individual psychological/ astrological and spiritual propensities.
Soon after the first Pluto/GC conjunction on 29th Dec 2006, Mars will conjunct first the GC on 12th Jan 2007, then Pluto on 13th Jan. This will bring our personal will patterns into the picture. So here, we will get the opportunity to completely align our personal will with our spirtual will and with Divine/Cosmic will...aah enlightenment!..or, it may also just make us more acutely aware of what we still need to do in order to accomplish this level of alignment in order to realise that we are, and always have been enlightened - we've just been in denial for several lifetimes. So now we get our worksheet for the year ahead. We will get a chance to discover how well we have done in January 2008, when Mars goes retrograde in opposition to the GC, and again in February 2008, when it goes direct in opposition to the GC.
On 1st April (!) 2007 Pluto turns retrograde. (Retrogrades occur when the Earth effectively "overtakes" another planet, so that planet looks like it is going backwards along the zodiac.) So now the work really begins. Pluto, at the best of times will dig into the deepest recesses of our psyches to get to the Light. When it turns retrograde, it just digs in much deeper to get through the Really Tricky Stuff. It is significant that this occurs on April 1st, and it offers a BIG CLUE as to how we can best deal with this challenge - it will either make fools of us all, or we can individually choose the Path of the Fool, and step off into the Unknown, trusting only in our inner truth and the Divine Light within us. This is the time to LISTEN TO YOUR INNER VOICE and ignore the fears of others, or the fears generated by the unintegrated parts of your own psyche - this is a time of turning within in order to regain the Power that we have given away to others - so no-one else can tell you what to do whilst Pluto is retrograde - we have to find and then trust the answers ourselves. This is not to say don't listen to others' advice, but make up your own mind and don't take anything on trust unless it comes from, or aligns with your own inner voice. Test out everything - even this Update, for accuracy - it may not be true for you.
On 17th July 2007, Pluto once again exactly conjuncts the Galactic Centre, whilst it's going retrograde (Pluto, that is - we'd be in really deep trouble if the Galactic Centre started going retrograde). So now we really get to see where and how we are still resisting Universal / Divine Will, and we will come to realise that Resistance Is Futile! If we are a part of the Oneness (and how could we possibly not be) then we ultimately have no choice but to follow the Universal Will. The ego may try to make all sorts of excuses and reasons and arguments as to why it should be allowed to remain separate from the Reality of Oneness, and try desperately to stand resolute against the overwhelming creative force of the entire Cosmos - aah, the ego, you've got to love it really, haven't you, it's just so silly at times. King Canute might have gained more respect if he had learnt to become a really great surfer instead of trying to stop the waves; and that's what we all need to do with the energetic waves coming in from the Pluto/GC - learn how to really surf these energies at the cosmic level. And when you fall off your board, get right back up there again and feel how exhilirating it can be - yeeeehaaa!
A Brief Note about the "Photon Belt" There has been much talk in recent years about the so-called "Photon Belt". Some of the more whacky assertions that have grown up around this theory are at best rather misleading, and at worst spurious astronomical absurdities or mathematical impossibilities, which there is not space to refute here. However, the research of Dr. Alexey Dmitriev of the Siberian department of the Russian Academy of Sciences at Novosibirsk, has come up with some very interesting results that appear to confirm the existence of the "Photon Belt": He and others have been measuring increased plasma and photon activity at the leading edge of the Heliosphere. The Heliosphere is the tear-shaped "bubble" created by the solar wind as it streams out beyond the far reaches of the Solar System. At the front edge, where the Solar Wind stops, the "bubble" becomes flattened as it pushes forward into interstellar space. Normally there is an area of highly charged plasma and photon (light particles) activity in this area. Before 1999, this was about 10 astronomical units (AU) thick (I AU is the distance of the Earth from the Sun - 93million miles = 149million km). Since 1999, the thickness of this has been growing steadily at a phenomenal rate, so that it is now at least 100 AU thick (ie:9,300million miles)! This is causing vast amounts more plasma and photon particles to flow into the helioshphere, which is affecting the activity on the Sun, and is thereby changing the weather patterns on every planet in the solar system! Far from absolving us from responsibility for Global Warming, this knowledge makes it even more imperative that we do everything we can to help counter-balance the effects of these vast cosmic changes.
It is believed that the Photon Belt is one of several doughnut-shaped bands of energy that radiate out from the Galactic Centre, and which our solar system is moving into as we hurtle along the outer reaches of the galaxy. The alignment of Pluto with the Galactic Centre means that it (Pluto) now lies directly in the path of these highly charged frequencies flowing from the GC into our solar system, so that Pluto can somehow act as a transformer to step down these frequencies, making them more easily assimilable to our human consciousness. (For more background on the research of Dr. Dmitriev, visit: www.tmgnow.com and the excellent site of David Wilcock, who claims, very convincingly to be the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce: www.ascension2000.com )
Back to Pluto and the GC On 8th September 2007, Pluto turns direct again, and on 27th October makes its final conjunction with the Galactic Centre. So, one last chance to align!...Well actually, it might take the rest of your life, but this IS THE PIVOTAL TURNING POINT, after which there is no going back - not that there ever was, but the ego likes to hear that sort of ultimatum...gives it a sense of purpose and something to aim for, so it doesn't have to acknowledge its futility. Seriously though, if you want to plug yourself fully into the Cosmic Mains, now will be the best time to fully surrender and do it...the only real question is whether you choose to do it willingly, easily and quickly, or prefer to make it a long, drawn-out and uncomfortable process - the ego likes that kind of thing also, gives it something to complain about and thus continue to justify its existence. I'm sorry, I just can't get really serious about all of this...remember April 1st is a BIG CLUE - DON'T TAKE ANY OF IT TOO SERIOUSLY - we are being shown just how much of an Illusion our experience of this Universe really is, so why would we take it too seriously. We might as well believe that the characters in our favourite soap operas are real! The difference here is that we now have a 'real' opportunity to realise that we are the writers, directors, set designers and stars of our own soap operas, so we can decide where the plot goes next and what the outcome will be...subject to Divine Funding of course...some plots just won't get approval from Upstairs, especially if they go against the Overall Long-Term Programming Plan. (Unlike the BBC, God is not probably not open to lucrative offers to defect to other Realities.)
How will the Pluto / GC conjunction affect the Earth-grids ? There are some interesting planetary and Earth-grid alignments during the pivotal points in the Conjunction, so for those who like this kind of thing - read on...
Remembering the "Problem" Pluto becomes exactly conjunct the Galactic Centre on 29th December 2006 at 12.00 USZ6 (Russia Zone 6 Time = 05.00 Universal Time/GMT): The North-South Meridian line of Pluto will be passing directly over the Fault Line off the West coast of Banda Aceh, Sumatra, which caused the Boxing Day Tsunami on 26th December 2004! I do not believe that this presages another earthquake there - however, the shift in the Tectonic Plates and the instability of the Earth's crust there suggests that it is through this region that the First Ray energies of the Pluto/GC conjunction can anchor into the Earth-grids. Pluto's meridian will also have just passed over Bagan, site of a thousand temples in Myanmar (Burma), and within minutes will pass over Lhasa in Tibet. At the same moment, Saturn's Meridian line will be passing down the central Atlantic, through "Ruta" which lies near the north end of the Mid Atlantic Ridge, and is believed to have been the most sacred temple site of Atlantis. Saturn is particularly concerned with the structures and energy patterns inherited from the past, and so memory too. This is likely to bring up collective fear-memories about what went wrong in Atlantis, and an increased sense of urgency and responsibility to prevent us from upsetting the natural balance too far this time. In the same moments, the Moon's Meridian will be passing directly over Hawaii, the planetary Alta Major Chakra, the energy centre which receives input from the Cosmos and flows directly into all of the earth-grids simultaneously. The Moon connects us with etheric energies and wiht feelings. Hawaii is like the Shamanic Centre of all the Earth-grids, connecting us to the Spirit of the Earth and the Spirit of the Ancestors - the Moon means that this can be a felt experience for everyone...at some level we will all feel the shift that is taking place. The Meridian of Ceres - the Mother Goddess, largest of the Asteroids, will be passing directly over New Caledonia, regarded by some as the most beautiful and paradisical island in the New Hebrides, to the north-west of Australia. The Goddess returns to Paradise, to the ancient Lemuria! So, all four of these planets will be "triggering" places on the Earth-grids which have been in the past, or are now regarded as the nearest places to Paradise on Earth. All this as the frequencies of the First Ray of Divine Will aligns with the First Ray frequencies of Pluto within our solar system...as the frequencies of Heaven literally come to Earth, through these places, into the Earth grids, and potentially into each and every one of us on this planet. Breathe in...breathe out.
The "Healing Crisis" At the Retrograde Conjunction Of Pluto / GC on 17th July 2007 at 22.25 BAT (Baghdad Time = 19.25 UT/GMT), Pluto's Meridian line will be passing over Mecca, and within a few minutes of that over Aksum, Ethiopia, probably the last resting place of the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the ancient codes of the First Ray energies of Divine Will. This will renew the First Ray impulse within the Islamic and Judaeo-Christian traditions, and continue to root out any distortions within their teachings which have come about over the centuries. Also, within minutes Jupiter's Meridian will pass over Mount Olympus and Delphi, Greece - Zeus, the Father God of the Greeks and western mythological/psychological archetypes, returns to his traditional Abode on Olympus! The Meridian of Vesta, holding the feminine aspect of the Solar Logos will be passing directly over the Teufelstein / Lucifer's Rock in Austria. This remarkable site lay directly under the Eclipse Path in August 1999, and has carvings that depict a calendar of the cycles of Venus, as Lucifer the Light Bringer - yet another example of how the Divine Feminine became demonised by "Christianity", much of which had little to do with the actual teachings of Christ. The Meridian of Juno (wife/consort of Jupiter), carrier of the soul aspect of relationship will now pass directly over Ruta on the Mid Atlantic Ridge (see above), anchoring the new frequencies into the soul body, and healing the negative soul-memory and fear that we collectively carry about the destruction of Atlantis. Our souls have at some level been expecting it all to happen again, and it doesn't have to be repeated in that way...it is what Barbara Hand Clow calls "Catastrophobia" - the fear of the repetition of the past catastrophe (Atlantis) - a sort of global post traumatic stress disorder at the unconscious soul level - if we keep resonating at that old frequency then we will attract it again...or we can choose to heal the fear-memory, change the frequency and attract the energies that will create a different outcome. The Meridian of Venus will just have passed over Macchu Picchu, Peru, anchoring the new frequencies into the emotional body. The Meridians of the Moon and Saturn will be passing either side of Bimini in the Bahamas, anchoring the new frequencies into the etheric and physical body. The Sun's Meridian will, within minutes pass over Sedona, Arizona, anchoring the new frequencies into the Spirtual heart and mental body. The Moon's North Node Meridian will be passing over Bali.The North Node anchors in the Spiritual Purpose of an event. There is something here, as with the Pluto Meridian passing over the Tsunami Zone at the first conjunction, of the creative activity of Shiva, who destroys the old patterns first in order to create anew. The Meridians of Neptune and Chiron will now pass over the Tsunami Earthquake zone off Sumatra. Chiron and Neptune together are concerend with deep healing of the Collective Unconscious, and the healing power of Unconditional Love, presaging their exact Conjunction in February 2010. This is the deep healing energy and Grace that can transform the fear-memory frequencies of Atlantis and Lemuria.This retrograde phase of the Conjunction will be the most crucial for releasing the old and anchoring the new frequencies into our collective consciousness, energy bodies and cellular structures.
The "Resolution" At the Final Conjunction of Pluto / GC on 28th October 2007 at 15.24 AWST (Australian Western Time = 07.24 GMT/UT), Pluto's Meridian will be passing over Broome, on the north coast of Western Australia. This will anchor the new First Ray frequencies into the Rainbow Serpent earth currents, which according to Robert Coon, flow into Australia in this region as part of the Great Energy Circle, known in other parts of the world as the Michael/Mary Dragon line. Jupiter's Meridian will be passing over Borobodur, Java bringing the positive, creative aspects of the Divine into this most sacred place. Venus' meridian will have just passed over Mount Olympus and Delphi - anchoring new frequencies of Love into the birthplace of western civilisation.Saturn's Meridian will be passing over Roma and Assisi, challenging the structures and attitudes that have perpetuated fear and limitation since pre-Christian times* and reminding us, as St. Francis did that every living being is our sister or brother, including the planet herself. (*Remember the Roman Emperors? - they're alive and well and living in Washington DC - Same architecture, same Eagle on the standard, same empire-building...and still trying to control the Brits. Caligula made his horse into a senator and advisor...GWB asks his dog's advice about his policies on National TV for his Christmas message - aah, what goes around comes around !). Mars' Meridian will be passing over Brasilia, enabling Brazil to fully embrace its spiritual role as the Hands of the World, (according to Master Kuthumi). As the location which will hold the frequencies for the future Age of Capricorn in 2000 years' time, Brazil literally holds the spiritual future of the world in its hands. Mars enacts. The Moon and Ceres' Meridians will be spanning Teotihuacan in Mexico, site of the Mayan temples to the Sun and the Moon, and assisting in the relesase of the Light memory imprinted into the stones by the Souls of the Mayan Elders...for more on this truly inspiring information from Aluna Joy Yaxk'in, visit: www.kachina.net/~alunajoy/news11-06.html
And finally - Uranus' Meridian will just have passed over Hawaii...releasing just about everything! Let go, Let go, Let go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the Ride - you might as well, with Love Marcus Mason x http://www.solarspirit.eclipse.co.uk/ The Pluto Alignment 2006
We are now approaching the half-way point in the Maya “Age of Revealing” which began in 1999. December 21 1999 began the final 13 year countdown to the zero-year of 2012. The half-way point is 2007, so we can expect some major changes on all levels of our being during and after that time. Pluto, the planet-archetype of radical change, cleansing and deconstruction will conjunct with Galactic Center in November 2006.
If you haven't been doing your SHADOW work some of the effects could be: Greater corruption and belligerance from authority structures Greater infringement of personal privacy Greater sexual debauchery Lack of respect for boundaries Heightened voyeurism and invasion of the private space Increased energy vampirism from toxic people in our midst All out criminality from unlikely sources (particularly excessive greed) Flagrant abuse of good will and help Increased and perceivable sadism Emotional depression and rising anxiety Aberrations in Nature (drought, cold, heatwaves, catastrophes, fauna death) Changes in Hartmann Waves, Schumann Frequency, Ultra Violet Light, Axial Wobble, Light from Sun, etc,.) Physical ailments (particularly affecting digestion, alimentary system, liver, colon, genitals, ovaries, and reproductive ganglia) Mental Breakdown due to stress and substance abuses Dates to be aware of in 2006: Autumn Equinox - Sept 21-23 (that week of) Samhain (Celtic Festival) - October 31(and week following or leading up to) All Soul's Day - Christian Calendar (November 2) Whole sign of Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 22) Whole sign of Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

Pluto on the Galactic Center
A CRACK IN THE COSMIC EGG 2006-2007: Are You Prepared? by Eileen Nauman
Copyright Eileen Nauman 2005 All Rights Reserved
This World is preparing to go through a change in Time that it has not seen in 248 years. The last time Pluto, the god of Transformation, conjuncted the Galactic Center at 26 Sagittarius was approximately in 1745. At that time, the Industrial Revolution was just beginning. And it changed the world from a farming/agricultural fabric to one of machines in which man became a slave too. Now, in 2005, we have computers and chips that are continuing to pioneer this technology. When Pluto conjunct the GC in 1745, it set up a NEW TEMPLATE for the world to resonate from and manifest.
We are at that juncture, that fork-in-the-road, once more. We have a chance to BIRTH a new template. A conjunction in astrology means there are no degrees between the two objects. In this case, Pluto is conjunct the heart or center of our spiral armed galaxy that we live within. Since 1989, when the Harmonic Convergence occurred, and the ratcheting up thereafter every June/July for nine years afterward, the energy got more and more refined, and higher. We had been trying (unconsciously) to adjust to this tremendous ramping and amping up of power and energy that was being systematically released by the GC.
And then, in 2000, just when I thought we couldn't possibly stand any more amping up of energy, our poor auric fields always playing 'catch-up' with this powerful new release, we entered a new level or dais. Those who are sensitive or clairvoyant have not only felt, but seen as well as experienced this new platform we are standing on. It doesn't mean that all human beings have made this quantum leap to this new level. It doesn't mean that those who made it to this level are going to be able to handle the energy or Chaos that comes with it. We are in one of the gravest testing periods for our soul and our spirit right now. Every 2.5 centuries, we get a chance to make good, positive changes for ourselves and our world.
We are on the brink of such an world altering event.
What will it bring?
What will be the tests?
How will it affect us as individuals?
How will it affect the world as a whole?
Will we be able to transcend or fall back into terrible human tragedy?
WARNINGS FROM HISTORY
The Mayans have said that we are in a destruction phase that will last twelve years. I feel that 9/11 was the BEGINNING of this disintegration phase that will be ongoing through the year 2013.
The Bible says it is the "End of Time" as we know it in the Book of Revelations. The Hopi of Arizona have said Hopi Blue Star or Blue Kachina Prophecy is coming shortly. The prophecy states, "When the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge". This will be the Day of Purification. The Hopi name for the star Sirius is Blue Star Kachina. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask.
[Note: Reality is a metaphor in which we quest to find answers to the greater truth of who we are and why we are here. Something in our souls tells us that change is happening on a global consciousness level. The blue frequency is part of that. Sirius is Isis - Return to the feminine of higher frequency energies - Rebirth of Consciousness. Blue links to higher/future frequencies of consciousness as we spiral up through the patterns of Sacred Geometry. Blue - electricity - our reality as an electromagnetic energy grid program. Blue: Indigo children, the blue alien lady, Isis, the Pleiades, Sirius, blue galaxies, blue chakra, blue ray and ascended master, and much more that will come 'out of the blue'. Use search engine to discover more about 'blue'.] ( http://www.crystalinks.com/hopi2.html )
and We Are All Related By Dr. Allen Ross
The end of all Hopi ceremonialism will come when a "Kachina" removes his mask during a dance in the plaza before uninitiated children [the general public]. For a while there will be no more ceremonies, no more faith. Then Oraibi will be rejuvenated with its faith and ceremonies, marking the start of a new cycle of Hopi life.
World War III will be started by those peoples who first revealed the light (the divine wisdom or intelligence) in the other old countries (India, China, Islamic Nations, Africa.)
The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. Bomb shelters are a fallacy. "It is only materialistic people who seek to make shelters. Those who are at peace in their hearts already are in the great shelter of life. There is no shelter for evil. Those who take no part in the making of world division by ideology are ready to resume life in another world, be they Black, White, Red, or Yellow race. They are all one, brothers."
The war will be "a spiritual conflict with material matters. Material matters will be destroyed by spiritual beings who will remain to create one world and one nation under one power, that of the Creator."
That time is not far off. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask. He represents a blue star, far off and yet invisible, which will make its appearance soon. The time is foretold by a song sung during the Wuwuchim ceremony. It was sung in 1914 just before World War I, and again in 1940 before World War II, describing the disunity, corruption, and hatred contaminating Hopi rituals, which were followed by the same evils spreading over the world. This same song was sung in 1961 during the Wuwuchim ceremony.
The Emergence to the future Fifth World has begun. It is being made by the humble people of little nations, tribes, and racial minorities. "You can read this in the earth itself. Plant forms from previous worlds are beginning to spring up as seeds [as described in SW-II, Effects and Coming Events # 1]. This could start a new study of botany if people were wise enough to read them. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in the sky as stars. The same kinds of seeds are being planted in our hearts. All these are the same, depending how you look at them. That is what makes the Emergence to the next, Fifth World.
"These comprise the nine most important prophecies of the Hopis, connected with the creation of the nine worlds: the three previous worlds on which we lived, the present Fourth World, the three future worlds we have yet to experience, and the world of Taiowa, the Creator, and his nephew, Sotuknang." ( http://www.crystalinks.com/hopi2.html )
The Incas believe the Fifth World will arise by 2013. And this will be a world of Peace. But before it arises, there is going to be world chaos.
THE LAST TIME PLUTO CONJUNCT GC
That was 248 years ago, in 1745. This was at the beginning and birth of the Industrial Revolution. And I would put emphasis upon "revolution" because what occurred in England, ground zero for this new template that swept the world into change. We went from an agrarian/farming way of living for the last 100,000 years into a technical evolution that we are in to this day, with computers and their nano chips, leading the way. Be looking for a new template to be birthed in 2006-2007. And with birth, it is NEVER easy or straight forward. Ask any woman whose had a baby, and she'll tell you of the suffering and pain she went through to give birth, and you get an idea of what is just ahead of us. All of us.
WE ARE IN CHAOS RIGHT NOW
As you can see, we are in Chaos. It is everywhere around us. All you have to do is open up your newspaper, listen to the TV news or go online to see it. Some people have become out-of-control monsters. Incest of children, rape of women, mothers killing their children, fathers killing their children, governments lying to their people and religious hatreds spawning to create terrorism of all kinds and not just limited to Islam. This also includes the fanatical Christian Right, as well. This is a world is in an unsavable tail spin and in what I call "involution" or a destruction phase.
You all have seen the following: Rudeness is now acceptable. Respect is a forgotten word. Being considerate of others is no longer around. Narcissism is in as never before. People are polarized. There is only their way or no way. Everything is black or white. There is no longer gray. Millions starve in the world but no one cares. Wars have spawned since 2000 for no reason other than a president who lied to the country -- and the people of the country believed him. There are lies, fraud and deceit everywhere that we turn on high government levels to everyday life.
This creates a vacuum of confusion where people are panicking and don't know where to turn. Those who feel this shift of consciousness but are afraid of it, cling blindly to their faith and call it the "end of Time." Others feel rudderless in a chaotic ocean of change around them, feeling unmoored and floating without a sense of where they are going or where they will land. Some feel like a stranger in a strange land, no longer recognizing the world they used to live in--it has changed THAT MUCH in preparation for the energy release that is yet to come.
The energy that has been released since 1989 is a much higher frequency that most people have labored mightily, on an unconscious level, to stay up with it or try to adjust or adapt to it. Most have failed. A few have succeeded beautifully. The rest of us are somewhere in between; the struggles daily in our lives. Each of us has a unique auric frequency. Some resonate at a fast pace; others, slow or somewhere in between. That energy from 1989, onward, has come from our Galactic Center to prepare us for the quantum leap that lies ahead of us in 2006 and 2007.
Will we be able to rise to the challenge?
I believe the Hopi are right: That there are spiritual beings, with compassion and heart, just waiting to work in the revising of a world in involution to a world of evolution.
But who are the Cosmic players in all of this? Pluto, the god of the Underworld and Hades, the trans-neptune sensitive point, known as Hell, are bound up in a spiritual dance with the Galactic Center for the next several years. By looking at these planets we try to understand what is about to occur and learn how to ride out this time of Chaos and improve our spirit--and our heart--in the process. It will not be easy.
THE GALACTIC CENTER
We live in a spiral armed galaxy. In fact, Earth is near the end of one of the 'arms.' The center of our galaxy is the hub of our universe in microcosm. The center is considered our spiritual heart and home. It is from this center that all energy for us, emanates.
ARE YOU TIED ASPECT-WISE TO THE GC?
Astrologically, anyone having any planet, the midheaven or rising sign (ascendant) at 24, 25, 26, 27 or 28 degrees is going to have a connection with the Galactic Center. For example, my rising sign is 27 Leo. That is a trine to the GC. Whatever the aspect, you can look at it and know your standing with the GC. A trine is as good as it gets--things come with ease, not struggle. And I have a Mercury/Midheaven at 24 Taurus which is an inconjunct to the GC. That's lots of struggle! Anyone who is TOUCHED by the GC degree-wise, has an opportunity to lift their spirit, improve themselves from a spiritually basis on a much larger canvas than others. That does not mean, however, that those who don't have an aspect to the GC are left out or abandoned--they are not. Rather, it means those who have a connection are working double or triple time on some spiritual aspect in this lifetime because of the coming conjunction of Pluto with the GC. It is a 'make or break' kind of opportunity. And it doesn't guarantee our making it, either. It simply means we are more actively focused and working on a spiritually related growth this lifetime more than most people.
One thing for sure as the 'battle for our hearts, minds and souls' is joined starting early in 2006, those who have a degree near this 26th degree is going to be up to their arse in alligators with no way to change it. YOU are in the middle of a raging river with no support, no help and nothing to aid you except your FAITH. And faith is what is going to be tested for all of us spiritual neophytes. We are moving into the biggest initiation in our lifetime. Are you ready for it? I am sharing a meditation and some special/insightful things you might do to help yourself during this coming time of utter chaos--to not only survive it, but thrive, deepen your faith and help others all at the same time.
SYMBOLOGY OF THE GALACTIC CENTER
What people need to realize is that the energy release that is to come, comes from the HEART of our galaxy straight to us. And it's up to us to do something with it. Whether it is positive or not, remains up to the individual. I always hope it will lift the Earth and all its inhabitants up by their bootstraps, but I'm an idealist, so it probably won't happen this way. The key word here is HEART. Compassion, not pity or sympathy. Take from the Buddhist teachings on Compassion and you will begin to understand the opportunity that is now before us.
It's interesting to watch when someone hates you because of your belief system, the color of your skin, or your gender or sexual preference when you respond with LOVE. And this is exactly what is going to happen -- the GC is going to send wave after wave of intense, powerful love toward the Earth and all its inhabitants. How will you react? Will you release your anger, hatred, prejudice and projections? Will you open your heart to what is coming? Or not? Those who do not, will go through a destructive inner process if they refuse such a gift. Those who run toward it, embrace it and work with this intense time period, will find their heart healed at the end of this arduous initiation that is going to take everything you have ever learned, and put it to use in order to work successfully in this time frame.
There are many souls who have incarnated this lifetime to take advantage of the coming conjunction of Pluto with the Galactic Center. This happens once only every 248 years and it is an momentous event on all levels and all dimensions. We have 50 yard seats on the playing field of life, right now. Who will take advantage of it? Who will not?
When there is a constant gearing up or amping up of energy as has taken place since 1989 during the Harmonic Convergence to this point in 2005, this shakes the foundation of everyone. No one is left untouched. HOW we respond to it, however, is up to the individual. Let's look at the 'players' on our stage who are setting up this ultimate test for all of us:
PLUTO, GOD OF TRANSFORMATION
At it's worst, Pluto symbolizes a human being's Shadow. This is a Jungian term. Everyone of us owns a Shadow. The Shadow are those things we don't like about ourselves; those things we push away and say "we're not like that!" But we are. The Shadow is all of the rotten, nasty things that human beings can lower themselves to become. Liars, thieves, murderers, rapists, jealous, angry, envious, competitive, arrogant, and the list goes on and on. What we do not integrate within us is bound to bite us in the butt. What we do not integrate we PROJECT out into the world and on people. And right now, Pluto is demanding that we own and be responsible for our Shadow and its lurid, putrid, infected contents. If we don't integrate it, we will be doomed by it. Pluto can be a scourge. Think of SARS as a virus going around the world. Nuclear bombs were discovered when Pluto was discovered; and we could be in a war with other countries. The collapse of the world on so many different, fundamental levels economically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. A world at war, thanks to religion and religious moralists who think they know what is right for everyone.
Pluto at its finest is about the hard work of transformation of our spirit to a new level. That does not mean things get easier; they are just different and it's like starting all over again. Pluto helps us 'burn off' that which we no longer need (nasty human vices, as example), to free our spirit so that it can rise and connect more solidly with the Creator. The myth of the Phoenix Bird fits Pluto beautifully. The bird is flying and suddenly goes into a tailspins, crashes into earth, explodes into flame and is burned up. Out of the ashes, later, a new, more beautiful Phoenix Bird flies upward, reborn, resurrected and better than before. That is what Pluto does for us--if we allow it.
Pluto's orbit is shaped like an EGG. It is the only planet in our solar system with this type of orbit. Therein lies some of the answers we're seeking to understand what is going to happen and how to take advantage of it in a healthy, positive way. The Cosmic Egg symbolizes spiritual, physiological, and cosmological sense. Among other things, it stands for primordial chaos, the universal matrix, the great Deep, the Virgin Mother, and also for the kosmos or world egg produced from it. As chaos or space, it is the virgin egg, unproduced; this is fructified by the spiritual ray, and from it then issues the Third Logos. The Egg is creator of all life.
We are about to have this Cosmic Egg cracked once again--and it can either be a step up in our evolution or a step down into involution. Pluto is at 22 Sagittarius July 3, 2005. The Galactic Center is 26 Sagittarius. In February, 2006, the cracking begins. But, as if Pluto was not enough to do this, we have Hades involved as well.
HADES, PLANET OF HELL
A trans-neptune planet, Hades is known as the planet of "dust to dust." It grinds and wears something down until it is utterly destroyed. When one dies and the body decays and eventually crumbles back into elements absorbed by the Earth, you get an idea of Hades in action. It is known as the planet of the "doctor and derelict" and the healer and the destroyer. Hades is about antiquity and history. Do we learn from the past or not? If we don't, Hades will come in to remind us one more time that we should. What we don't learn from history we are bound to repeat.
Hades, in Greek mythology, was the Underworld or Hell. Pluto was the god of that place. He dealt with dying and death. If we want to take this symbolism of Hades and apply it to the fact that it is opposite the Galactic Center, in Gemini, it is about our spirits being burned off, like the Phoenix Bird, so that we can be rebirthed and resurrected into a newer and better one.
Right now, as far as I'm concerned, we have Hell here on Earth. Looking at news headlines says it all. We're in a war in Iraq we had no business getting into. We have millions around the globe starving when we could do something to help them. We have corporate greed ascending and humanity descending. There is no longer right from wrong, there is money and who has it--and who does not. Humanity no longer counts. Money and the bottom line counts, instead. Respect is replaced with daily rudeness. We have the Christian Right trying to tell us not only how to live, but what to believe. What happened to the division of church and state in this country? It's becoming a theocracy under this Born Again president. That's not what this country was founded on, but never mind that. It is all back sliding, moving into oblivion and the changes are frightening. Democracy is threatened to its core. Women, as an equal, is also being challenged once again. We have descended into Hell.
With Hades opposed to the Galactic Center, it is holding the tension of opposites, literally and figuratively speaking. An opposition aspect is one of friction. In other words, nothing manifests without a lot of energy being poured into the situation. An opposition is supposed to give people a clarity of mind--to see BOTH sides of an argument or situation. To be aware. To SEE. Right now, there is no seeing the other side here on Earth. Everyone is entrenched and polarized, instead. And this is a choice we made, so Hades is going to drag us, kicking and screaming, into the other side of this aspect so we can see all sides, not just our own. And it won't be pleasant.
DATES TO WATCH
Forewarned is forearmed. The following dates are to be watched and taken advantage of by those who want to utilize this period for spiritual motivation and evolvement. (See Galactic Center Meditation at the end of this article).
There is no doubt that this coming period could put us in the garbage can, so to speak. Pluto and Hades don't play around and they're brutal teachers without remorse when it comes to us towing the rope and being responsible for our own thoughts and actions in the world. And, as with any planet, astrologically speaking, it has two sides to it--a healthy expression and an unhealthy one. It is always our choice to bring this energy into ourselves and how it expresses through us.
If I want to say that the worst can happen; such as a nuclear incident, a pandemic where SARS kills billions, assassinations of world leaders, a move to control the world by one or more countries, secretive Big Brother actions by governments, destruction of the environment, lethal pollution in our water and air, or other such horrific atrocities, are all possibilities in 2006 and 2007.
On the positive side, this is a time of the snake shedding her/his skin; a chance for renewal, a movement up in evolution on a spiritual template. It can also mean deep psychological work to deal with our wounds and begin the healing journey through them.
Remember, a conjunction means: birth, creation, the start of something new, a new template, a new way of thinking, believing or living your life on every level (spiritual, mental, emotional and physical)
an opposition means: awareness and taking action and making final decisions
an inconjunct means: you are caught between a rock and hard place and nowhere to go. It's like having to take medicine you know you can't refuse. It means things are completely out of your control and you are along for the ride; so adapt and be flexible. Don't be stubborn or this aspect will take you down in a millisecond.
trine means: things move with ease; there are no blocks, no obstructions as energy flows smoothly.
EVENTS AS THEY UNFOLD IN 2006-2007
April 7-8, 2006: Mars is opposite Pluto and the GC. This is the 'big one' and some global event could occur at this time. Mars rules: war, fever as in an epidemic virus, assaults, attacks and violence. Positively, it rules peak energy times and nonstop action. SPIRITUALLY: meditate on each of these days understanding that there is a lot of power around. Keep your intent to be grounded, calm and send peace around the globe.
May 1-23, 2006: Pluto is conjunct but RETROGRADE on the GC all month long. This month is the beginning of a test, a marathon, if you will, that will last through the end of 2007. The energy is going to be less powerful, but this is a time to work on wounds. A second month of this kind of energy being thrown at us is going to put everyone on tenter hooks. Hades is at 24 degrees Gemini all month and is close enough to create its own kind of Chaos. April will give us a look at what the issues are for us, individually as well as for the world as a whole. SPIRITUALLY: Try to meditate every day if possible to build up power and holding this energy within you. With Hades so near, use this time to work on your wounds and the healing of them.
May 28-29,2006: Mars is at 26 Cancer which is INCONJUNCT Pluto and the GC. Look for this time to be one of an event that no one can control or stop. This could potentially be one, last horrific act in a long play that started in March, 2006. Mars rules: war, fever as in an epidemic virus, assaults, attacks and violence. Positively, it rules peak energy times and nonstop action. SPIRITUALLY: meditate on each of these days understanding that there is a lot of power around. Keep your intent to be grounded, calm and send peace around the globe.
FINALLY, we get a rest from this intense amount of events and energy as Pluto moves off the GC to 25 Sagittarius.
September 5, 2006: Pluto goes DIRECT at 24 Sagittarius, two degrees away from the GC. Look for MAJOR transformation and chaos on this day. Pluto will now move TOWARD the GC. However, Hades is exact opposite of the GC at 26 Gemini, so there will be little abatement from what is going on. It is doubtful this shift will be noticeable from the intensity standpoint. SPIRITUALLY: meditate on each of these days understanding that there is a lot of power around. Keep your intent to be grounded, calm and send peace around the globe.
December 3-30, 2006: Pluto arrives at 26 Sagittarius to once more, conjunct the Galactic Center. Hades is at 25 Gemini, one degree from an opposition with Pluto/GC. Saturn goes retrograde at 25 Leo on December 6. Saturn TRINES the Pluto/GC and sextiles Hades, so this should provide some leavening of action, less intensity and a quieting down and more focus on where this energy is to be acting on a personal level, as well as worldwide. There is a grace period with Saturn here. This is the LAST TIME Pluto will be conjunct the Galactic Center for another 248 years. SPIRITUALLY: Try to meditate every day if possible to build up power and holding this energy within you. With Hades so near, use this time to work on your wounds and the healing of them. There should be some welcome breakthroughs, spiritually speaking for anyone who has been actively working with this energy all year long at this time. The "end of Time" has come and gone. For those who held the energy, stayed in their core throughout this extremely intense initiation, reward is on its way to you.
GALACTIC CENTER MEDITATION
I don't want to be Chicken Little screaming, "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" Rather, I look at this amped up frequency of energy since 1989 as an opportunity to take advantage of instead of acting like a victim who is helpless to do anything. Granted, it has been a tough time since 1989 and it's not getting any better--it is getting remarkably worse remarkably fast. It takes my breath away, too.
That said, my training all my life has taught me and shown me that every person counts. If one heart-centered person stands in the midst of a hundred screaming, chaotic, losing-their-mind people, it CAN and WILL make a difference. Just as in a meadow of green, one bright yellow flower draws your attention, then one person can do the same, energetically. Why is this important? Because the more of us that stand in our center; be that bright yellow flower who stands out in the meadow, we can help not only ourselves, but Mother Earth and all her relations, as well. This is not a selfish place; it is a place of compassion and being in the heart. After all, the GC is the "heart" of our universe where we live and the energy coming is heart centered for all of us.
Here is a meditation that you can utilize to help integrate the coming energy. I will be listing the dates of when this energy is going to be at its peak so that you can be there to take advantage of it as well as be a part of it for all our relations. If you will perform this meditation on the days indicated, for at least 20 minutes a day, then you'll be in a good space for what is to come.
1. For western style meditation sit in a straight-backed chair in a relaxed position. This position may be used by anyone. It is the position used by some of the ancients and western meditators throughout the ages. If you cannot sit, you can lie down with a pillow beneath your knees to support your lower back. Don't forget a pillow for your head as well.
Eastern style meditation you may adopt sitting on the floor with legs crossed in the folded lotus position. Stretch your body, then feel, tense and relax any contracted areas. Do this several times. Become aware of your body and all its parts and inch by inch relax.
2. You may want to imagine a string at the top of your head pulling your spine erect. Feel the vertebrae of your spine gently stretched and your spine elongated and then mentally place each vertebrae beginning at the bottom of your spine, one upon the other, until your whole spine feels aligned. Then hold the position, but relax into a comfortable state.
3. Now, Visualize yourself within an Egg shaped field which extends outward above your crown to below/beneath your feet. It is extending in all directions at least 3 feet from your body.
4. Ground yourself now, by imaging silver roots of a tree wrapping gently around your ankles and the tip of the root down through your feet and at least a hundred feet down into Mom Earth.
5. In your brow or behind your eyes, imagine seeing our spiral armed galaxy. At the core or center of it, there is beautiful white and gold light throbbing and emanating from it. Draw this light from there and into your aura. Imagine this living light energy above your head, the sacred white/gold energy from the spiral and you draw it down through the top of your head and into your body.
5. Anchor this light in your heart area. Breathe naturally, feel the beating of your heart and your breath and allow them to become as one: at some point your breathing and heart will be in a natural rhythm. You will notice that you become peaceful.
6. On the in breath, feel and imagine the light coming into your body. As you exhale, allow the light to expand and fill your head, then your shoulders and arms, then allow the light to fill your torso area, then allow the light to fill your legs and feet.
7. Continue to draw the Galactic Center light down through each of the chakras; allow the light to expand to fill your body from each chakra. After you feel that your whole body is filled with light, allow the light to expand past your body to fill the field of the circle then the whole of the Auric region until you can feel it three feet around your body in all directions. Imagine that the outer edge of this sphere is solid and impenetrable. You may see your entire aura 'breathe' or expand/contract as this heart energy from our galaxy throbs in wavelike motion into you and your energy field. Maintain this space for at least 15-20 minutes or longer if you like.
Notes: This is a heart meditation with the center of our galaxy. You may not be able to handle more than five minutes of it at first, but the more you do it, the more you attune yourself to this frequency of energy being released. You will always fill uplifted and peaceful during and after the meditation. Warmly, Eileen Website: http://www.medicinegarden.com

Pluto at Galactic Center - Curtis' Cosmic Report
In 2006 and beyond Pluto, planet of transformation, will be at 26 degrees Sagittarius, which is the degree of the Galactic Center.
During this winter season, the Sun is also located near the Galactic Center where the Milky Way intersects the ecliptic, an area sacred to the Mayans, known as the home of Hunab K’u, the Creator God, the Center of Consciousness that manifested our Galaxy through a whirling “cosmic womb” in space. Hunab K’u was also thought to be the gateway to other galaxies beyond our own. The Mayans believed that all activities in our Galaxy were directed and shaped by Divine intelligence manifested as periodic bursts of energy emanating from this Galactic Center.
Modern astronomers have verified that there is a “black hole” at the center of the whirling disk which is the Milky Way, and that this “black hole” emits and swallows stars.
In March of 2005, physicist and astronomer Dr. Scott Hyman announced the discovery of an intermittent signal coming from the Galactic Center, which seems to be intelligently directed. See "Strange Rumblings at the Center of Our Galaxy". The last time Pluto was at 26 degrees of Sagittarius the Industrial Revolution exploded onto the historical stage. This revolution was a cultural, economic, intellectual and political revolution that shifted humanity from the paradigm of a farming culture to the new form of a machine culture. During this period of accelerated change, humanity's spiritual task has been to develop an acute sense of self-consciousness, and strengthen the ego-forces.
In 2006 we will experience the beginnings of a new cultural revolution. Some have called this the "End Times" or "Times of Chaos".
According to Dane Rudhyar's "Astrological Mandala", the esoteric meaning of planetary placement at 26 degree Sag is “A Flag-Bearer in a Battle”. At this time, each and every one of us is challenged to identify with the best and highest in the collective consciousness, just as the flag-bearer in a battle provides his or her comrades with a focal point for their collective identity.
During battle, the flag-bearer has a tremendous responsibility to the group, because if the flag falls to the ground, then the entire group undergoes a collective depletion of energy, and as a consequence a symbolic defeat can result in a major setback. At this time Pluto, the symbolic agent of TRANSFORMATION is transiting through Sagittarius, the sign of TRUTH - or PHILOSOPHY and RELIGION.
It appears that it is time for religions to be renewed or reconstructed, and each one of us has the responsibility to connect with our own inner truth, and to connect that experience of inner truth and enlightenment with the shared experiences of the collective consciousness.
The Holy Spirit works through all spiritual traditions and all religions of the world, none of which is perfect, and none of which is the exclusive pathway to truth and enlightenment. Yet all who travel the pathways of Spirit have much to share with one another, and if they could but see the bigger picture, they would see that their different paths all lead to the same goal of inner truth and enlightenment.
Pluto in Sagittarius is the Cosmic Hierophant, empowered to utterly transform existing spiritual traditions and religions so that they may be of higher and better utility to their practitioners.
Part of that higher utility, in the dawning Age of Aquarius, is that each spiritual tradition and religion must become the conduit and the expression of the New Age energies of Universal Brotherhood and Sisterhood, in the form of Global Community.
Pluto is the Irresistible Cosmic Alchemist, and those traditions, religions and individuals who act as agents of spiritual transformation, holding high the flag of inter-denominational co-operation and common spiritual truth, will find themselves vastly empowered by this Pluto in Sagittarius moment in history.
On the other hand, those individuals, spiritual traditions and religions seeking to arrogate to themselves exclusive rights to inner truth and proclaiming themselves the exclusive pathway to spiritual enlightenment will find themselves in a life and death conflict with the emerging forces of the New Age, and with the irresistible transformative energies of this Pluto in Sagittarius moment.
Let us choose our path with care, and let us proudly serve as examples and as standard-bearers for the collective consciousness of the emerging global human community of spiritual disciples dedicated to the ageless wisdom teaching of the spiritual masters, both East and West, who have declared, “The paths to Truth are Many, the Goal of the many pathways only One.”
