'Simple Mantra: A simple Mercury aid (putting your mind to work for you!)

Wanna know my SEEEECRET?  My Secret is while a useful tool, you don't NEEED Astrology to learn anything. Because Astrology is a useful tool that allows us to get into stuff, that when we're working at our peak our own intuition is perfectly privy to.  Why do we use astrology?  Why hopefully to get us at peak of course.  (peak being in-tune and listening to the vibratory symphony of the universe, and yes we all fall a bit out of tune from time to time- Thus Astrology!- and Things like-and unlike it!)

But lets share with you a little all-purpose trick, helps most of the time, never frickin' hurts.  When we feel overwhelmed it can be coming from all sorts of sources symbolized by all sorts of placements of any astrological body.  But ultimately manifestation, which is what we're after (even if just manifesting a mood) takes a certain course through the planets, beginning with the sun and the moon (I am, I feel) coursing through mercury (I think)up through Venus (I enjoy/want)  and into Mars (I attain), from Mars to Jupiter (I grow), and From Jupiter to Saturn ( physical reality, I am in the now, I am limited- IE Manifest).  

Now if we can get those inner couple firing well and running smoothly we can leverage them to help the rest of the works, and the easiest tool for the job?  Why it Mercury!  It moves so fast, it is easily influenced.  The mind wanders easily, the conversation does too, but because they wander so easily they are also what we are most capable of actively and consciously focusing (in fact I do believe the very concept of consciously focusing may be embedded in the very identity of Mercury).

So if we can train our minds and thoughts we can eventually leverage this out, and through small 

of easy changes (such as repetition of a thought or word... A Mantra.  We may influence how all other parts balance against each other.  Mind you nothing may be in balance that is not in balance with the rest, and nothing is in balance with the universe that is not first in balance with itself.

But here's a nice thing to do, when you are flustered worried, in doubt, freaking out or out of whack:

1. Remember that Mars and Venus in perfect balance (IE attraction and how I pursue me)  What I want desires me back, and thus are magnetically drawn to one another.

2. We push away things by dealing in negatives, stressing about what we "should be" making ourselves more acceptable etc etc.  

3. positivity energizes and nothing is as loud to the universe as a big thank-you!

Translation (and your new mantra):

   Relax, Be Yourself, Be Grateful (repeat as necessary)

focus on what you want, or just joy and Love.  It sounds simple but it will make things better, and practiced enough it will bring amazing things into your life!

Over-Coming Isolation. Saturn Restrains, but Climbs with Intent

I also want to focus in on a specific aspect of the Cardinal Grand cross that may well be causing a marked effect on all our lives... and in fact because its been in a rough spot in more than one ways before this, our Saturn In Libra probably evokes feelings that seem to have been building over a long time.
Libra is the house of intimacy, Saturn is the king of boundaries of limitations of taking things slow and building them securely.  As such while Saturn is getting hit from all sides: Pluto: which fosters a question of personal power and distrust (until of course we claim our power and can trust fully because of it!), Uranus in Aries : which fosters feelings of things being out of control chaotic, and everything changing very fast without respit (until we embrace the newness to come and recognize that it is the harbinger of hope!)  and finally a loose Solar -Venus Conjunction in Cancer (Here I have increased the orb for reading the conjunction based on the amount of energy  envigorating both of these planets just by being in this grand cross)  which of course causing a longing for gamily and close intimacies... (just making the other 3 worse... but this is the one drive I think probably just needs to be embraced as a positive goal... IE stop focussing on the lack and start thinking about the goal).

When it comes to the Saturn of the matter here is the plan.  Saturn is asking you to build real reliable intimacy.  It asks, is this relationship really what we think it is?  Maybe it works better in another way.  Saturn asks us to  put ourselves on a step by step long term trajectory of positive healthy intimacy, not just accept the ones we have.  In the long run this can be SUCH a good thing!

The point here is to start reallocating our time (yes Time is a key word of Saturn) and work (another Saturn word) so that we are putting our energy into arenas in which we are liukely to find the kind of intimacy we desire, it asks us to build our house in this world around what we want on a spiritual level.  What feelings, values, ideas do we want?  and where can we find them.
Then one step at a time we do a small thing every day to put ourselves in the place we want to be... really its that easy.

To all of us feeling lonely: Stop.  Find the best intimacy you can in the now.  Set up your time to build new intimacy that meets your needs, and rejoice, because you are on your way to such wonderful wonderful riches   of love... in fact you already have them!

In the mean time, find a comfortable space to sit or lay.  Put on some soft music if you like (best without vocals or in a language you do not understand)  breath in as slowly and as fluidly as you can until your chest is full and abdomen extended, hold for a slow count of 3 exhale slowly in the same manner until your lungs are completely empty again hold for a slow count of 3.  Repeat this until your mind is empty.  As thoughts occur to you think irrelevent, and release them.  then feel the love of the universe inside you and focus on that.  do this as long as it takes to stick, and repeat as often as necessary.

Doing this alone will in and of itself increase the joy of your life and open the door to intimacy.

A Mantra for A Saturn in Peril in Libra:


I build strong open beautiful intimacy every moment of every day, enjoying the process and loving my way through it.  I build a life with all the opportunities I need and rejoice for I am a child of the Universe and as such have a great wealth of Love around me at all times.

And for those who have lost a lover:


I embrace the trueness of my new relationship with my love, and I rejoice that every moment a new love blossoms as the old friendship deepens.

And for those for whom a beloved have crossed over:


I open my heart to a new relationship with my beloved as a spiritual brother/sister, teacher, healer guide and ancestor.
