2-Janna: re. more wonderful transits analysis...

[Guest guest]

Dear Mark, Some of your insights churned overnight on the

dream plane and upon reflection this morning, I think that it is

important, as you suggested, to remember to return to a point of

simplicity in observing the planetary motions and their effects on

us with the spiritual perspective that we are spiritual beings

having a human experience.Dear

Janna: Glad to hear it! I find the more silent we are the more

clearly we'll be ableto experience such things as the

transits! Your comment " From what you say; the

thought occurs to me, to not try and look at it from so many

angles. Be slightly more innocent, and let the experiences, guide

you to the interpretation.

... " was reinforced by a western astrologer's

article on the " essence of Christmas, " which seems to be

appropriate to share with you and others, so I've copied it

below. Then too your insight of Saturn crossing so many of my

natal planets (almost all are in H1 & H2) for the past 5 years

has made it possible for me to see this planetary pattern in my

chart more clearly, which has contributed to a feeling of spiritual

and physical exhaustion, astrologically perhaps not the least is

that Saturn will be hovering around my natal Mars for some time,

perhaps until Saturn leaves Leo in September 2009.

 

That was also my own experience this last year of

so, when Saturn in Leo went acrossall my planets in Leo, Mercury,

Venus and Sun, in my 11th house. That was as much of akind of

sade sat as Saturn on top of our Moons!

 

I am reminded that it is the waxing solar cycle and may give

cause for hope, expressed in the astrologer's reminder of the

innocence and purity contained in the divine child in each of

us.

 

Just remember ALL Saturn experiences are there so

we bring more Saturn silence and wisdominto that area of our life

that is represented by either that house, sign or planets in signs.So, as Saturn is moving across your Mars, next, let all of your

Mars activities be wedded orintegrated with more Saturn

silence!

Sincerely,

 

Mark K.

 

Many blessings for a lunar and solar new year of light, peace,and prosperity. -janna " Christmas celebrates a simple

truth: Each of us is a divine child, born fragile and delicate,

pure of heart, and magnificent with unfathomable promise and

potential. Daily life makes it difficult to stay in touch

with that spark of divine light. We struggle to survive, maintain,

and cope with modern life, which increasingly grows more complex

and convoluted. We have more information than we can possibly

integrate or digest, and seemingly far more responsibilities than

we can handle. At sea in a world where we must stay in control, we

grow up quickly, and we encourage our children to do the same.

Naiveté is seen as a failing. Innocence, a useless flaw in a

ruthless world. And yet the divine child in each of us stays

alive and active, even if we are unconscious of its presence. It

dwells in our hearts, feeds our imagination, fires our desire to

believe. It allows us to hope. No matter what scars of bitterness

or brokenness our hearts may bear, this divine child endures. Its

innocence nourishes and sustains our resilience, a resilience that

supports the potential to survive suffering, no matter how brutal,

and to return to life. When we nourish the divine child within us,

we look at the world through eyes of wonder and awe, humble and

curious about what lies ahead. Willing to try again and again. Christmas celebrates our innocence. And innocence is

non-sectarian. As is joy, happiness, love, and the wish for peace

and prosperity. So regardless of your religious affiliation, take a

moment to celebrate the divine child. Honor its strength,

acknowledge its wisdom, respect its innocence. Make a commitment to

help it to mature into a compassionate heart, open and vulnerable,

and despite the challenges and complexities of life, skillful at

maintaining hope and love. " by Ralfee Finn http://www.aquariumage.com/vibration.html
