As the World Shifts
If you thought the past few years were exhilarating, exhausting and exuberant, wait till you see what’s ahead.
The
countdown to the Golden Age is on. As vast cycles of cosmic time
come to a close, new and wondrous cycles are beginning. We live
in the transition period, the Shift of the Ages.
The
Mayan calendar teaches that the evolution of consciousness is
accelerating. There’s a 25-year window from the Harmonic
Convergence in August 1987 through the end of the Mayan Calendar in
2012. During this period, special planetary alignments guide us
in an accelerated learning lab.
The
Grand Fixed Cross Solar Eclipse on August 11, 1999, catalyzed a mass
spiritual awakening. This signpost in the heavens was a turning
point, a wake-up call for Lightworkers to move more fully into their
path of service.
In
2001 and 2002, Saturn and Pluto faced off with three exact oppositions
that reshaped our world. Most memorably, the attacks on the World
Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.,
occurred between the dates of the first two oppositions in 2001.
By
2003, planetary servers had expanded their base of experience, and on
November 8/9, 2003, solidified their commitment as six planets created
an elegant Star of David/Merkabah pattern in the sky. This
alignment, known as the Harmonic Concordance, opened a portal of divine
consciousness and called us to a deeper level of union and service.
Last
year, Venus danced with Pluto and crossed the face of the Sun in the
historic Transit of Venus, transforming our ideals of love and
abundance.
At
the end of 2005, we stand at the threshold of a major new passage, the
conjunction of Pluto, God of the Underworld, with the very center ofour
galaxy. The Galactic Center is a place of mystery and awe.
From the black hole at its center, entire worlds are obliterated, or
formed.
Pluto’s
conjunction with the Galactic Center in 2006-2007 is at least as
important as the ending of the Mayan Calendar just seven years from
now. Pluto roots out spiritual sludge and brings to light issues
held deep within the subconscious. The effects of this transit
will be felt individually, collectively and throughout the cosmos.
The
Pluto alignment offers a gift of profound healing, potential
enlightenment, new levels of service. On this Sagittarius New
Moon, may we aim like the archer for the stars as we prepare for the
next round of transformation.
Join
us for an afternoon of optimism and understanding on December 10 at
Noble Path Books in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “Earth Changes and
Planetary Enlightenment” will feature ancient and contemporary
perspectives on the evolution of consciousness accelerating toward 2012
and beyond. Visit our web site for details: http://www.InfiniteStarWisdom.com To register, call Lynn O’Brien at (505) 292-5216.
Soul
Readings and Transformational Healing Sessions are among the services
we offer to facilitate your individual process of soul evolution during
these times. For details, visit http://www.InfiniteStarWisdom.com and click on Consultations.
Message from Prophecy Rock
Thirteen
years ago this month, Hopi Elder Thomas Banyacya addressed the United
Nations in New York City, warning of upheaval and destruction that
would result if humanity continued on its present course.
His
spiritual appeal to the political leadership of this world came the day
after a total lunar eclipse. The following day, a flood ravaged
Manhattan, and the UN building was evacuated. These natural
events punctuated the urgency of his message.
Earth
changes continue today in what the Hopi of North America call the Great
Purification. The timing of the evolution of consciousness is
connected to the changes. Everything is accelerating.
Through
their ceremonies and healing intention, the Hopi are among the
spiritual elders holding space for the transition of Mother Earth and
humanity to a more hopeful and enlightened future.
Grandfather Thomas Banyacya has since returned to spirit, yet his message grows more meaningful with each passing day:
"This
rock drawing shows part of the Hopi prophecy. There are two
paths. The first with technology but separate from natural and
spiritual law leads to these jagged lines representing chaos. The
lower path is one that remains in harmony with natural law. Here
we see a line that represents a choice like a bridge joining the
paths. If we return to spiritual harmony and live from our
hearts, we can experience a paradise in this world. If we
continue only on this upper path, we will come to destruction."
We
are at choice in each moment which path we will follow. Are we
living in balance with the Earth and all beings as the prophecy is
revealed in our lifetime? What changes do we need to make in our
lifestyle, in our relationships, in our communities?

“Every beginning is a consequence - every beginning ends something.”
- Paul Valery
On
this Sagittarius New Moon, we celebrate the completion of a 12-month
cycle that began at last year’s Winter Solstice. The fires of
purification burn through spiritual and psychological debris from our
past, from childhood, past lives, other realms of existence.
Right now, a mixed bag of celestial energies supports our transformation and allows us to glimpse possible new realities.
In
recent days, a Grand Cross in fixed signs has gripped our emotional
bodies, bringing into awareness those patterns of thought and behavior
ripe for release before we move into the next solar cycle beginning at
the Winter Solstice.
Sagittarius New Moon - December 1 - 10:01 a.m. EST; 2:01 a.m. GMT
Each
month the night sky darkens as the New Moon approaches. Against
this backdrop, the stars shower us with consciousness and the voice of
creation whispers of new beginnings. This is home. Create a
ceremony of healing and pray your intentions into being. Jupiter,
planet of expansion, trines renegade Uranus through mid-December,
helping us lighten up and discover new approaches to life, love and
learning, even through chaos. The Grand Fixed Cross ushers in
expansion, freedom and passion, if we’ll allow changes that are needed
on our evolutionary path.
Mercury Stations Direct - December 3
Plans,
projects and journeys get the green light when the planet of
communication and transportation returns to forward motion. What
have you revised, revisited, revamped and reorganized during Mercury’s
retrograde period that began back on November 13?
Chiron into Aquarius - December 6
The
Wounded Healer enters the sign of the Aquarian Age. Advanced
healing abilities blossom and radiate through our hearts. What
are your healing gifts? How are you sharing them? Chiron
will remain in Aquarius - except for a brief journey into Pisces and
back in mid-2010 - until February 2011.
Mars Stations Direct - December 9
Feel
the passion of your inner warrior as Mars returns to forward motion in
his extended transit of Taurus. How have your finances
transformed since Mars stationed retrograde on October 1? What in
your life provides a sense of physical security now? Where do
your passions lie? You’ve been dreaming of that new creative
project. Now jump in and do it!
Full Moon in Gemini/Sagittarius - December 15 - 8:15 a.m. EST; 12:15 p.m. GMT
This
is an especially potent Full Moon with Pluto conjunct the Sun. A
loose Grand Fixed Cross continues to churn up subconscious
issues. Light a candle, relax, meditate and draw a hot bath with
soothing oils. Experience gratitude for the progress you’ve made
on your spiritual journey. Request assistance from your spiritual
guides to release patterns that will not be carried into the next
cycle. Prepare for the Solstice stillpoint when your soul will be
reborn into Light.
Winter Solstice - December 21
Another
solar cycle comes to an end on the shortest day of the year in the
Northern Hemisphere. The promise of Winter Solstice is the return
of Light to Earth symbolized by the birth of the Christ Child, a mystic
healer who remembered his oneness with Source and left a legacy of
personal mastery to inspire us. At this Winter Solstice, draw on
the memory of inner divinity to guide you toward a state of
consciousness that inspires others.
Pluto and the Galactic Center
"This era exceeds, for physical, symbolic and enlightenment purposes, the significance of the expiration of the Mayan Calendar."
- Philip Sedgwick
In
2006 and 2007, Pluto will align with the Galactic Center three times,
ushering in an unprecedented period of cosmic awareness and
healing. This passage will also be marked by chaos and turmoil.
Pluto’s
conjunction with the Galactic Center occurs only once every 248
years. While some astrologers report Pluto as conjunct the exact
center of our galaxy earlier in the year, the alignments are actually
in late December 2006 and again in July and October of 2007.
Because
of Pluto’s proximity to the degree of the Galactic Center (26:55
Sagittarius) throughout 2006, we will feel the effects all year.
How each of us experiences this transit will depend on our consciousness.
Pluto
is the spiritual plunger of the solar system, forcing us to face issues
submerged in the unconscious that hold us back from our highest
expression of divinity. The Galactic Center is a black hole
around which our Sun and other planetary systems revolve.
The nature of black holes, and Pluto, is annihilation.
Pluto’s
passage over the Galactic Center will accelerate the natural process
the Hopi refer to as the Great Purification. As a transpersonal
planet, Pluto influences the collective consciousness as well as the
individual. Watch for political upheaval, revolution and chaos,
as well as Earth changes that restore balance to human systems and the
natural world.
In
December 2005, we’re put on notice. This is the time for
Lightworkers to heal spiritual, mental, emotional and physical
imbalances in preparation for the changes to come in 2006 and beyond.
A
crescendo of emotional release and fulfillment culminates in the Gemini
Full Moon on December 15. Between now and then, our priority is
to acknowledge and release patterns from our past that will not be
carried into the new cycle.
Key issues for Lightworkers during this phase include...
Self-esteem
not cultivated in childhood must be nurtured now in order to achieve
greater expressions of creativity and leadership.
Ego
imbalances will be corrected. As you recognize and heal issues of
low self-esteem and create a unique, individuated identity, check in
often to be sure you’re operating from essence, not ego.
Patterns
of codependency must be released. Healing codependency requires
periods of solitude to develop right relationship with self and Source,
which eventually leads to healthy relationships with others.
Addictions
of all kinds - to substances, relationships, activities, even feelings
- are obstacles to soul growth and need to be released.
Recognize and rewrite thoughts and beliefs that hinder your experience of yourself as Infinite Divine Light.
Heal
the illusion of separation that stems from “original separation” when
your soul individuated and descended from Source to experience growth
through human experience.
On the path of healing these karmic issues, we encounter many forms of
resistance. Emotional outbursts, rage, hysteria, anxiety,
depression, illness, accidents, body aches, digestive problems,
allergies, acute pain and injuries, chemical and other dependencies are
some of the experiences we create as we begin to break away from past
patterns.
As we grow in awareness, we begin to welcome these challenges as confirmation that we’re making progress!
Meanwhile, strategies that will help you through the changes include...
Daily
meditation. Twice a day, at least 15 minutes each time, will help
you ground, center, reconnect with Source, and integrate the changes on
all levels.
Develop
a support network with others on the path of mastery. Release
non-supportive relationships that attempt to hold you in past patterns.
Set clear intentions and express them in ceremony, prayer, poem, dance, song and/or art.
Explore transformational healing tools including energy and bodywork, essential oils, flower essences and sacred sound.
Many
astrologers have been writing and speaking about Pluto’s alignment with
the Galactic Center in 2006-2007. Some presentations are
fear-based, some hopeful. While the effects of these conjunctions
will be dramatic and far-reaching, they’ll serve to strengthen and
unify us as the shift to higher consciousness intensifies.
We’ll explore various aspects of this important passage throughout the coming year in the Alignments Newsletter.

Love as Gratitude
"Gratitude is the memory of the heart."
- Jean Baptiste Massieu
As
we move toward wholeness, our hearts fill to overflowing with divine
love. We beam with gratitude for the blessings in our lives, the
gifts of this creation, the opportunity to serve.
We yearn to express creatively, to give openly, to share the bliss of creation. From our lotus hearts, compassion blooms.
In
this season of gratitude and giving, I’m celebrating with a joyful
heart the circle of oneness created by our connection through this
newsletter.
You
and I stand in this circle together, determined, devoted, sharing our
gifts and exploring the expansion of consciousness that unites us in
purpose at this special time in Earth’s history.
