GRAND SEXTILE, MONDAY, JULY 29, 2013

COSMIC ALIGNMENT

The Grand Sextile is a spectacular arrangement of planets that are sextile to one another, while in the midst of two Grand Trines.  If you look at the physical chart with the lines or aspects drawn between the planets it looks like a Star of David and even though it happens on the 29th, we've been slowly moving into this energy for a while now.  However if you Google Grand Sextile, you'll get many different and diverse interpretations of what it means.  Some say it's the opening of the Stargate, while others give technical explanations that even had my mind confused and I understand the astrological language. 

IT'S ALL A MATTER OF PERCEPTION

If you remember the hype that was projected as y2k approached, or the super hype over the more recent "end of the world" hype about the end of the Mayan Calendar in

December 2012, my advice is to keep in mind that even though this Grand Sextile is a physically beautiful pattern, try not to fall into the hype projected by spiritual babies who really don't have a clue.  The last time we experienced a Grand Sextile was back in 1945.  If something great and wonderful happened during that time, I don't remember because I was only 5 years old. 

REMEMBER YOUR BLOOD LINES

Native elders tell us to invoke our blood memory a mystical way of saying "remember who you are".  Our collective consciousness is being stimulated to shift.   Earth Mother is shifting and those souls who remain flexible and faithful will shift with it. We're all being called to live a life on purpose and to use our natural gifts and talents to help ourselves and/or others.  My life shifted tremendously the day after the New Moon in Aries (April 11, 2013).  My deepest fears came true as I helplessly watched my beloved daughter took her last breath.  It humbled me and brought me to my knees as I begged God for her life.  Then I had to question everything I thought I knew about this existence and my relationship to the Most High.  When I was writing the blog about the New Moon in Aries and how good it would be for all fire signs, little did I know that this Sagittarius was getting ready to exit the earth.  I had pushed back the fears of losing her that seemed to begin when she took her first breath, when she jumped into the deep end of a swimming pool at age 5, when she seemed to be a totally accident prone child that kept us running to the hospital as she aged up.  Each time I would say to myself "I can't lose her, I can't lose her" and then I lost her.  I reverted back to those old teachings I learned in childhood that taught me that God was a man in the sky.  "why did you do this to me" was my ignorant cry.  I questioned everything I had been taught about astrology and healing because in my mind it didn't work this time. 

Then a medicine person came into my dream and said "remember your blood ties"  It was revealed to me that each time we incarnate into a physical body that there is a soul contract that comes with us.  It would seem that my daughter fulfilled her contract and just moved on.  The other thing that came to me was the memory of saying "I can't even imagine the pain of losing a child".  I uttered those words after the school massacre in Connecticut.  The other things that kept resounding in my head was what I read in the 7 Laws for Spiritual Success by Chopra "ask yourself what am I learning in all of this and how can I use it to help others".  I'm not there yet.

IT'S GOING TO BE WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE!

I've said it before with aspects that were intense and quite frankly when I just didn't know what was going to happen.  I'm saying it again about the Grand Sextile, which some astrologers say is going to be extremely positive energy.  I do know that when we place our attention on something and then state our intention, with no tension, we're bound to attract to us our deep desires.  Ummm, I've been fearing losing my daughter, deep down inside for far too many years.  When it happened it was like a cord was cut, the burden of the fear was gone.  I'm being honest with you in the hopes that you won't allow deep seated fears to control you, or to attract to you what you don't want.  There are many free modalities on the web, designed to help you clear out the negatives and replace them with positives.  All you have to do is sign up for them and do the "work".  Deepak and Oprah are doing another 21 day meditation cycle starting on August 5th.  Then there's always Agape with Rev. Beckwith and Ricki BB.  The latter is what's kept me going these days as I enjoy the music and the ever powerful messages.  Thinking if it wasn't for Agape and a few great friends I'd be in a fetal position sucking my thumb (laughing but true).  Of course my three daughters have come up strong for me with their unconditional love and support.  Now and again I receive a message that I'm loved and supported and I am forever thankful for Anna Austin, Diane Austin, Mae Jackson, Peter Harper, Sekhmet, Ruqaiyah, Funmilayo, Ramona, Ron, Monife, Nymia Herline, Angelique, Mike,  and all the others who are keeping me in your prayers...thank you, thank you, thank you! 

I am Blessed!  Love & Light, Ayesha

FULL MOON IN AQUARIUS - MONDAY JULY 22, 2013

ALL TOGETHER NOW!

With the Full Moon in Aquarius the sign that rules large groups of people, volunteerism and humanitarian causes, it is fitting an proper that over 100 demonstrations for Aquarian, Trayvon Martin have been planned the day before the Full Moon takes place.  We feel the energy of the Full Moon two days before and one day after the actual event.  As the mother of one son, four grandsons and two great grandsons the acquittal of Trayvon's killer affected me on both the personal and human level.  It's hard to accept that six white mothers could look at the evidence and come up with a not guilty.  But maybe they were looking through the lens clouded with white privilege, racist beliefs and ignorance of the history of lynching in this country.  And maybe some of these women were descendants of mothers who would pack a picnic lunch for their children as they took them to see a Black man being tortured and lynched. Maybe this form of depraved indifference for the suffering of another human being, is embedded in their dna.  Maybe the only way they'll "get it" is when it happens to their child.  But the probability of a Black man killing a white child and getting away with it is as distant as the planets in our Solar System. 

AQUARIUS THE HUMANITARIAN

Aquarius is the 11th sign in the Zodiac. When the soul reaches the level of Aquarius, after traveling through the other ten signs, it has the potential to wake up and realize that we are all connected. Aquarius is the sign that has many friends and associates from all walks of life, all races, all economic levels, all religions.  It is fitting and proper that the people who are crying out for justice for Trayvon Martin are from all races, colors and creeds.  These are the people who "get it" that an injustice to one is an injustice to all.  These are the people who have raised their consciousness to a higher level and who will bypass their own physical safety to get out in the streets and make a human cry for justice. 

WE SEE THROUGH DIFFERENT LENSES

My awareness of lynching in this country started when I was 15 and opened Jet Magazine to see the corpse of Emmit Till, who was lynched by white men who were never arrested, but who came forward after the statute of limitations years later to tell how they systematically tortured and killed this young teenager.  From that day on I became keenly aware that lynching in this country started in slavery and continues up to this present day.  The techniques are different but the fact remains the same. A Black man or woman can be killed by police who usually say "I felt threatened", i.e. Amadou Diallo shot down in his hallway as he was holding up a wallet, by 4 depraved member of the NYPD who were acquitted, Sean Bell, shot to death in his car because "we thought he was going for a gun", Michael Stewart, tortured and killed by 12 policeman who "thought he was writing on a wall", Ramarley Graham shot to death in his grandmothers bathroom because" we thought he had a gun".  So as lynching became outlawed in this country the incidence of "legal lynching" escalated and the victims are too numerous to mention here.  So of course when George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, the date stored in my conscious and unconscious mind came forward..."what another legal lynching?" "Surely this time the murderer will pay" But wait a minute, it took thousands of people getting out in the street, demanding justice just to get this wanna be cop arrested.  Based on experience and what I've seen through my lenses...this guy was going to be acquitted.  The killer, George Zimmerman is a mentally low functioning man who couldn't pass the test to get on the  police force.  So he did the next best thing, became a security guard in a gated community.  Surely with the real cops telling him to stand down, which he ignored and surely with his words on tape saying he was following Trayvon and "they always get away with it"...and other racially charged epithets it would be clear to any human jury that he racially profiled Trayvon and he was going to make sure that Trayvon didn't get away.  Even though their was no forensic evidence on Trayvon's hands that he was in a fight...Zimmerman came up with some mysterious, superficial wounds as a part of his defense.  Even though Zimmerman was carrying a concealed weapon, the jury bought the story that Trayvon grabbed the gun (huh what) and that Zimmerman killed him in self defense.  Even a child could see through that story, but the six while women jurors bought it, because they connected with Zimmerman and didn't have the humanity or empathy for a Black child. 

PRAY, THEN ACT!

Full Moons effect the tides in the ocean and Full Moons effect humans whose bodies are about 75 per cent water.  This is a scientific fact.  So whether you're going to be out demonstrating tomorrow and releasing rage against a racist judicial system, or George Zimmerman, or just people who don't "get it".  The important thing to remember is to tune into a higher frequency first and then listen to your guidance before you take action.  Those of us who are from the old school, know that agent provacateurs could be among the marchers, urging people to act impulsively and creating justified reasons for police to over react.  Marching can be a good thing, a healthy thing that helps the body release pent up tension that feeds on hopelessness, despair, anger and depression.  It's not over yet, so prepare to be in it for the long haul.  Together, we can make a difference, we can make a change.  On the individual level each one of us can make a conscious connection to our Higher Selves. We can use the humanitarian energy from the Aquarius Full Moon to help the teenagers in our respective communities.  Grace Spotted Eagle, a Lakota medicine woman once told us that when we're in the way of a young person give them something to carry with them in the future, because they're moving into a future that we'll never see and we're coming from a past that they'll never see.  In the name of Trayvon Martin, love the teenagers in your family and in your community.  Acknowledge them, smile at them and talk to them as they are the future.  Stay safe, be cool and know that things are going to get better, day by day, minute by minute.  Aquarius keywords are "I Know". Know that the truth is all there is and Divine intervention is evident.  Love & Light, Ayesha
