Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Guest]

I'm there Ulli, lol

I have Leo Sun and Leo Ascendent
Mercury was retrograde 12:33 degrees Leo, my Ascendent is close....

Looks like the effects will be felt until August 22.

Here's a bit on Mercury and the site also has a trend graph.

March/April 2012: Mercury is retrograding from fiery Aries back into sensitive, emotional and intuitive Pisces. The direction of Aries is powered by the spiritual essence of Pisces. Mercury retrograde in March/April becomes the cosmic course correction that is prompted from the alignment of the spiritual essence that charts the outer direction that will begin to unfold. In 2012 the adjustments that are slated to occur during the retrogrades are in fire signs, with the Mercury retrograde in March/April becomes the powerful transition and course correction that shifts situations with the winds of changing, blowing us all into new directions. Uranus will connect with the Mercury retrograde events during March and April, emphasizing the spontaneous and sudden changes that will set the pace for 2012's major course corrections. Mars turns retrograde early in the year, emphasizing the Virgo aspects of accountability, which will activate the changes bringing a heightened level of activity and change into the month.
July/August 2012: In the July/August Mercury retrograde, the fiery energy of Leo activates the winds of change created by Uranus in fiery Aries. These two fiery signs give us events and circumstances that blast us into many new directions. With the changes created in this FIVE year, we will find that our life has dramatically changed and Mercury retrograde in Leo creates the dynamic emphasis of change that this year is destined to provide.CLICK HERE FOR MERCURY RETROGRADE ON LINE NEWS - July/August 2012
November/December 2012: The November Mercury retrograde gives our goals as aspirations a deeper perspective through Scorpio being activated during this process. The Scorpio aspect of inner depth as shown by our inner connection to the higher awareness, will revise our directions, goals and sense of purpose. Issues of transparency showing the Scorpio inner aspects of motives, ethics, values and intensions become the major area of focus during this time.

These same signs, same degrees were the Mercury retrogrades experienced in 1933**, as the cycle of Mercury retrograde repeats with an incredible exactness, along with Mars, which activates the thoughts, ideas and communication.

Culture fades with tears and grace leaving us stunned hollow with shame we have seen this all, seen this all before.
Many tribes of a modern kind, doing brand new work, same spirit by side, joining hearts and hand and ancestral twine, ancestral twine.
Slowly it fades.
Slowly we fade
Spirit bird she creaks and groans she knows she has, seen this all before she has, seen this all before.

Thanks for sharing this, Nora.
Maybe Mercury going direct meant that yesterday finally I was inspired to do a couple of hours of jewelry work...
Jewelry work is very Mercury oriented, although Mercury (as Virgo ruler) means work anyway, but in the sense of jewelry being all about detail.
Whereas Mercury as Gemini ruler is more about communication than work, or detail.
So I was thinking how Gemini is an air sign and Virgo is an earth sign and how they represent different aspects...
Earth signs ar about the material conditions in which an individual survives, but Air, being higher than earth, deals with the polishing of the larger, collective gemstone which is human interaction and therefore human culture.

Because when communication is mastered that's when bridges are created.
And when individuals unite and form groups, and communication can flow in smooth and uninterrupted ways, in all directions, without destructive insults, then a larger piece of jewelry is created....with all sorts of sparkling gemstones embedded in it.
This is my vision of a future human society....a priceless piece of galactic jewelry.

Just playing my favorite mental game- the 'as above, so below' game.
Probably too raw at this point, and needs further polishing.....

Look Viral Spiral,

playing a bit with different background colours.
I think I will have one printed on canvas (with brownish colour) and then framed.

Wow, this is really nice. And probably would look good in any color.
Also would work as a fabric design.

I just love the drawings that VS makes and I asked her if I could use this one to hang in our bed and breakfast.

As long as I can remember my knees are in a lock position when I'm standing.
Problems with the knees as well, on and off, unable to jog because hurting in the knee's.
Several peoples telling me that the flow of energy in my legs is low during the past 15 years.
Rheumatoid arthritis in the right knee 2 years ago and still recovering from the 8 month inflammation damage.
Further... stretching my legs is the only part of my body where I'm stiff as a board for as long as I can remember.

...When I turn inward and ask what's happening... I feel that it is part of a healing process, but it sure may hurry up now, because I sure would like to have a good night of sleep now!

Hi Waky,

I thought you might be interested in this from Adyashanti's book The End of your World - which is a book that I highly recommend as it discusses many of the traps of the ego/mind that we have talked as well as physical changes when awakening.


Page 120

...In addition to an influx of energy on the physical level, there are often energetic transformations occurring on a more subtle level - the level of the mind. For a couple of years after my awakening at thirty-two, I felt like my mind was one of those old telephone switchboards where they had to unplug a jack from an outlet and put it into another. It felt like the wiring in my mind was being undone and put together in different ways....

Hi Jeanette,

I downloaded, Adyashanti's, "The End of your World". I'm only half way through the first chapter I jumped to called, "Fixating on the Absolute as a Way to Avoid Our Humanness". I had to stop because I wanted to thank you.

I've only read these 8 pages, but I'd pay 1000 times the price of the book. Going now....

Hi Ulli,

Paradise (where another bob and I live) is okay. There was no smoke yesterday, but today is smoky again. Depends on the wind. The smoke flows back and forth along a canyon, and AB and I both live on a canyon edge.

My sister-in-law (long time Paradise resident) has evacuated once in 30 years ... sez my hubby. Don't know how accurate that is. Some days we can't open the doors to cool the house, because the smoke stings in our eyes.

I have just been thinking the same myself this evening, Ulli. I don't think we have seen him since he posted about the fire.

The word Xavier... brought me to this:

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=karRE54LCCA

Fair Roseanna,
your vagrancy's a familiar tale
fraught with danger,
the lives you led were judged for fame
hatred enfolds us,
inculpates the minds with it's heresy
laymen enfold us,
clemency arrives to set you free!

Fate...
Although Xavier has prayed
that life-giving waters may rain
down on the souls of men
to cure them of their pain.

These were the sins of Xavier's past
hung like jewels in the forest of veils.
Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge
Eve bears the stigma of original sin

Freedom so high when we all are bound by laws
etched in the scheme of nature's own hand
unseen by those who fail in their pursuit of fate.

Although Xavier has prayed
that life-giving waters may rain
down on the souls of men
to cure them of their ways

And as the night turns into day
oh the sun, the moon, wish away
although your nightmares come home to stay
Xavier's love lies in chains

These were the sins of Xavier's past
hung like jewels in the forest of veils

Good morning, afternoon, evening...

Just stopped by to give an update on what's been going on here.

We've decided to fight the foreclosure, and have found a group willing to help us. Don't know what will happen, but at least we're not going to let the bank steamroll over us without a fight.

The temporary situation that led to this has been resolved months ago, and still they want to take our home...well, not just take our home, they want us to hand over the deed in lieu of foreclosure to "protect" our credit rating. BS!

This has opened my eyes fully to the degree of power and control their fiat money system has created in all aspects of our lives.

If we can "save" our home, there is another group who will then come in and do what is necessary to take it off the grid...without cost to us.

Thanks to the Village for being a safe place to practice asking for help. It has opened up a whole new 'world' for me, where people are helping people...you just have to look for it and ask.

Will pop back in from time to time as I can.

Love you all.

Hello Belle
So you managed to get this far. Hurray! Next step is to not only keep your house but also your credit rating.
Then how to make our house grid- free. That part will be more fun.

In the end you will be grateful for this issue to have come along.
Let's face it, without problems we could never become innovative.

[benevolentcrow]

Belle, good for you! Never go down without a fight. This little quote seemed appropriate. Best of luck! I dream of living off the grid!

Quote of the day: Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions..........Rainer Maria Rilke

For the past week I have awoken with the words "the only way out is through"...no running away or giving up, but making aware decisions to challenges.

Hello Belle,

I ain't got no words of wisdom. (In fact, I've lost all my words, again.) But know I send Light to You and your Family.

Peace,
