Universal Sky NewsletterSun in Pisces 2006The Sun moves into the sign of Pisces on February 18, 2006 bringing another Zodiac calendar year to a close before the New Earth year begins. Now is a time for introspection. What have you learned over the past year? Did you find completion within an area of your life? This is the month where many aspects or situations in life may come to an end. It is the last month of hibernation for the earth, so take this time to re-evaluate what the last zodiac year has brought or taught you. As the energies all month are supporting internalization, there will be a slow down of sorts. Enjoy any creative process that comes your way now. For when we tap into our creative abilities this month, we are being given the opportunity to speak with our Soul. In order to understand what your Soul is trying to communicate to you, all must be still, all must be quite and the channel to your creative mind must be open and clear. On February 27, 2006 at 19:32 EST the Moon enters into a New Phase. On this New Moon, again, we are being asked to tap into our creative stillness. I suggest a meditation, focusing on Soul alignment. It will be supported now as this is a great time to start a meditation routine. Try not to ‘over think’ your New Moon Wishing or affirmations this month. Just allow ‘Spirit’ to speak to you through your pen. Allow the inner dialogue within you to flow like the water down stream, and understand that as the water flows down stream, you are like a salmon swimming against the current. In the spring you will have the ability to plant new seeds of awareness. The New Moon happens at 9 degrees of Pisces 16 minutes. The Sabian Symbol* for 10 Degrees of Pisces is “AN AVIATOR PURSUES HIS JOURNEY, FLYING THROUGH GROUND-OBSCURING CLOUDS.’** The keynote of this symbol is letting us to understand that by transcending life’s natural limitations we can develop powers and skills which will allow one to operate in mental-spiritual realms. Over thinking is one of those human limitations. Over thinking is not something one is born with, but develops over time within this experience we call life. The key to shut down the thinking process and taping into the spiritual realms is the ability to turn off the thinking aspect of the mind and just allow images, sounds, concepts, experiences to develop within the creative aspect of the mind. Just allow the flow of universal messages to come to you and you are then in the process of meditation – you are in the process of taping into the mental-spiritual realms of the universe. There are limitations within each person, and most of those limitations are set by perception, perception based on the belief that it is our intellect that represents who we are, coming from the ‘thought’ part of the brain, however, it is through ones personal development that does not alter their external reality until they can alter their internal reality. Your external reality does not shift into a healthy mode until your internal one does. For they are as the Pisces symbol, projections which are reflections of each other, as one fish swims up stream the other swims down. Alternate directions of a perception, both being connected together by truth. On March 2 , 2006 the planet Mercury goes into a Retrograde motion at 26 Degrees of Pisces 52’. When Mercury goes retrograde in the sign of Pisces we are being asked on a very subtle level to tap into our unconscious mind. This energy supports the process of meditation and amplifies the receptivity of the messages. Here we are re-evaluating our Higher Self’s beliefs and purposes, allowing for completion and resolving ‘old’ mental conflicts. In order to give us the ability to achieve ‘Peace of Mind’. Now ‘peace of mind’ does not mean that all your problems come to an end – it just means ‘re-think’ about what is bothering you and allow for new perceptions to come into your mentality and then when you have an alternate perception, you will have ‘Peace of Mind’. Use this Mercury Retrograde period in a healthy way by scheduling yourself time at home alone, to do what you enjoy doing whether it is a creative talent or just relaxing, give time back to you. For you will find that if you don’t schedule time yourself, the universe will schedule it for you. Imposed universal alone time, is not something that I recommended as it usually brings with it something that one would not enjoy to the fullest extent. The Sabian Symbol* for 27 Degrees of Pisces is, “THE HARVEST MOON ILLUMINES A CLEAR AUTUMNAL SKY’***. This symbol energizes the degree of this Mercury retrograde by allowing the light of fulfillment to bless work well done. However since it is tying in the symbolic vibration of the Moon we can also experience some emotional explosions during this retrograde period. Remember that the message of this symbol is telling us we can reap not only what we have sown, but also what we have NOT sown. Take time for you, so that you have the energy to do what you need to do when you need to do it. Also, Mercury rules short distance travel, it would not be wise to meditate while driving. I have personally noticed that now we are in the pre-shadow of this period, and the recklessness of drivers is increasing daily as we approach March 2. Give yourself plenty of time to make your appointments, so that you are not carelessly and recklessly driving and allowing the intellectual side of your brain to fall asleep at the wheel. Remember to use your indicator’s and look over your shoulder when passing lanes, never assume everyone else knows what is going on in your head or that they know the direction you are going to take while driving. If you want to use your learned knowledge this month, use it while driving or operating heavy / dangerous equipment. For you may find that it is difficult to stay in the logic and easy during this time period to turn on the automatic mental pilot. Arrive alive – Don’t meditate and drive. Then 2 days later, on March 4th we will experience a Jupiter Retrograde at 18 degrees of Scorpio 51’ which will last until July 6th, 2006. When Jupiter goes into a retrograde phase our lessons internalize, our external growth slows down and all the busy energy starts to revert. Again we are experiencing an internalizing energy allowing everyone the opportunity to review their ‘Big Plans’. Here is a direct supporting energy that allows for the re-connection with the higher self and the re-evaluation of the growth that we have permitted. ‘Un-learning’ is also a great way to experience this energy… so lets UN-learn what does not work for us anymore – and re-learn TRUTH! When you tap into your TRUTH and utilize it for the betterment of yourself and others, then there is growth, it is the false truth that needs to be un-learnt! The Sabian Symbol* for 19 Degrees of Scorpio is, “A PARROT REPEATS THE CONVERSATION HE HAS OVERHEARD.”**** The keynote to this symbol expresses the ability to convey transcendental wisdom. In order to convey or share the wisdom that exceeds your own personal ‘normal’ mental understanding, one must be an individual of sustained faith. Knowing, believing that the universe only expresses a modality of Love unto humanity. The Divine creator extends faith unto man to share in the wisdom and knowledge of the universal forces, however on this earth plane of existence there is an alternate side to love, one of which I choose not to give energy when ever possible. And due to this alternate side, I encourage those out there to tap into their faith, have faith but also open to Truth. For we are not superhuman and in order to find the line between Universal Love and it’s opposing forces one must use the gift and power of discernment on their journey within this existence. During this Jupiter Retrograde, you will find that discernment is a key factor. Do not Judge, but discern that which will aid you, and that which will not. On March 5th, 2006 Venus moves back into the sign of Aquarius with only one day left to complete her shadow period. For on March 6th, she is back where she started before her month long retrograde on December 24th, 2005. Starting on a fresh new path in an exocentric sign. As she moves into the sign of Aquarius she is allowing for the outward expression of your personal values and beliefs. If you believe in your uniqueness, now is the time to express yourself – and remember, be TRUE to you - Always! The Moon then shines it’s fullest on March 14th at 18:37 EST, in the illuminated sign of Virgo. Criticisms are enlightened now, so if anyone in your life is being overly critical, they will see it now. For all the lights are on and there is NO being in the dark. By this day, many people will break through the confusion that they may have been experiencing. When we are in Soul communication mode, our ‘human’ self often gets confused. This Full Moon brings with it a Lunar Eclipse allowing for illumination of that which does not serve, that which is not perfect or in alignment with the Creator. Please don’t be too hard on the self, for if you can see your faults now, look at it as an opportunity to course correct, not one to get stuck and wallow in. Know that the energy of this eclipse is confirming that you can not fix what you don’t know is broken, so light will shine on those less impressive parts of the self. It is allowing you to see what is not the healthiest for you – so that with your ‘will’ or Diving given gift of ‘Free Will’, transform. You can transform the behaviors or lifestyles into ones that you enjoy or that work for your highest good. The Sabian Symbol* associated to this Lunar Eclipse is one that will be found at 25 Degrees of Virgo is, ‘A FLAG AT HALF-MAST IN FRONT OF A PUBLIC BUILDING’*****. The keynote expresses the social acknowledgment of a job well done and a destiny fulfilled. Any individual who accepts responsibility eventually reaches the end of service to your community or to mankind and in turn, gains social immortality to some extent. This symbol is implying that everyone within their existence has found a place in history, and they have the ability to carry any task they attempt to its ultimate fulfillment. When aligning this vibration of this symbol with the Lunar Eclipse we are beginning a journey of completion, which will, when completed allow for better and newer opportunity. In order to complete this journey of alignment one must see fault within themselves, not to ‘change’ who they are, but to embrace who there are, for within each personal fault lives a gift, and once acceptance has been embraced, you will identify with the gift that is shadowed beneath the fault – thus transforming the lower vibration into a higher one, with Love. Enjoy and embrace this slow period within the heavens, and perhaps I should explain that I do not really mean slow, but a variation of the word. That variation I will leave up to you to come to an understanding about. Blessings, Nancy Arruda
