Cosmic Weather Forecast

This Christmas season is full of challenging astrological aspects that have provoked a chorus of dismay from astrologers around the world, and we here at Satya Center are providing our readers with a treasure trove of Wisdom teachings and Solstice and Christmas meditations to help you cope with the Cosmic cross-currents we are encountering in every area of life!

We can expect that this Full Moon Penumbral Eclipse in the Cardinal sign of Aries will pump up the tense, conflicted energy that is being unleashed by the recurring Grand Cardinal Cross. However there are also several potent Trine aspects that indicate ease and grace, and promise that if we make an effort to connect with our spiritual guidance we will find we have all we need to navigate through the economic, political and environmental crises unfolding simultaneously on Planet Earth today.

This month the sky is filled with signs and portents of earth-shaking change, some hopeful, some ominous, and the energy streaming in to us from the Cosmos is so powerful that our very physical vessels are challenged to maintain equilibrium. The task of humanity is to step forward into the Light with courage. The courageous are not necessarily fearless at all. The courageous are those who follow their Higher Purpose despite their fear!

An extremely rare Full Moon Total Lunar Selenelion Eclipse marks this as a time of dying dreams and simultaneously as a time when new visions for humanity's future are incubating within the collective consciousness of humanity.

With six planets in Pisces this week, expect this unusual super-watery configuration to unleash a flood of difficult and long-repressed emotions, a cascade of confusing astral glamours, and simultaneously an undeniable soulful yearning for a transcendent realm of peace, unity and healing.

Romance is in the air! A rosy emotional glow permeates the atmosphere this Full Moon and is likely to touch each and every one of us. The moon is in its sign of exaltation, Taurus, a position that is associated with the fusion of love and sexual attraction, the rare alignment of heart and head. Understanding others is easier this week, and opening the heart completely to a compatible love partner can lead to a transcendent experience.

We all need a break from the Long Emergency. We are in a marathon run, not a sprint. Nothing less than a superhuman commitment to peace, diplomacy, selfless service, magic and wild joy will see us through to the other side of this epochal transformation of human civilization.

Auspicious planetary forces will harmonize conflicting energies this Wesak Full Moon Festival. That's good because the long-term Cosmic Weather Forecast is conflicted. We must soon manage the looming end of the Industrial Revolution, raging religious and resource wars, peak oil, environmental catastrophes and the decline of the American Empire.

Feeling stressed? You're not alone. The Sun, Uranus, Mars, Mercury retrograde and Jupiter are all in Aries, opposed by the Moon and Saturn retrograde in Libra. All these planets are part of a T-Square formation which features Pluto retrograde in Capricorn as the linchpin. On the plus side, the Full Moon trines Neptune in Pisces and Chiron, providing a highly charged spiritual current of healing and inner transformation, which is quite likely to manifest as a stream of meaningful synchronistic events that act as guideposts for us during this time of stress, when we most lack clarity. These synchronicities will open up new doorways for us, providing us with golden opportunities for accelerated spiritual advancement.

The Full Moon this week is beautifully aspected which helps to offset the continuing global difficulties we have encountered during the Year of the Iron Tiger. It's time for Lightworkers to connect with Archangel Michael and summon the Spiritual Warrior within!

This Full Moon in Pisces humanity ascends the cross of transformation. The challenge for us all, individually and collectively, is to leave behind our everyday concerns, our mental maps of the world, and our typical emotional reactions to stress and conflict, and to allow Spirit to open our hearts and connect us with Higher Mind. The path is one of suffering and the destination is a place where suffering is no more.

This is a weekend to celebrate our own unique individuality, and to honor our own deepest heartfelt impulses and intuitive spiritual guidance. It's time everyone on Earth began to trust their own heart and their own Higher Self rather than what they see or hear on TV, radio, Internet or newspapers. That's the first step toward global transformation, after all.
