The Centaur meets Magdalen

Since the beginning of time humankind has been subjected to cosmic forces.  Astrology is a tool to understand and consciously work with these forces. It is also a tool to awaken and accelerate consciousness. The only way to develop self-awareness and higher consciousness is through personal experience.  This spiritual evolutionary process is now accelerating at an exponential rate at the same time as the human mind is being challenged to embrace an unending supply of new information.  Specialization is necessary.

The human mind is the greatest computer of all time and is a storehouse of knowledge. No computer has yet been made that provides the blinding flashes of illumination we experience through intuition and our bodies’ senses.   This kind of knowledge and truth is not only accessible from our current lifetime experiences but also from experiences in other lifetimes. Science is being re-written. Scientists now understand that humanity and everything that exists operates as a hologram whereby  each individual component is connected to the whole.   One small piece of the universal hologram contains the information of the whole. Our brains are inter-connected and information can be transferred from one brain to another, holographically.

Our cells store memory. The cosmic forces determine when this memory is ready to be awakened. It is usually awakened in the form of unusual or upsetting feelings, intuition and emotions. Saturn, in his 2005/2007 sojourn through Leo, offered many opportunities for humanity to learn the system of creation and to develop the understanding that we are the creators of our personal reality.  As a result many more people are now accepting total responsibility for their creations and choose to create consciously all that is Good (God).

Sedna, a cosmic body discovered in the far outer reaches of our solar system in 2003 represents the Goddess/High Priestess archetype that personifies the feminine Christ Consciousness.   In the Inuit myth, from which her cosmic name was derived, Sedna surrendered to her earthly fate and reluctantly descended into the watery realms of Neptune (the veiled unconscious).   She emerged transfigured as a highly evolved and much respected mermaid Goddess.

She learned much from her surrender experience and, as a consequence, developed mastery over the ‘watery’ realm of dense emotion.   Water is a carrier of consciousness and our bodies are made of 80% water.   A new cosmic body is discovered when it is time for humanity to take a courageous step forward in the evolutionary game of life.  Humanity’s next step is to embrace Christ Consciousness, the spark of divine love resident within each individual’s heart centre. The Intelligence of the Heart is gradually being consciously comprehended and experienced by many people. 

Enter Chiron, the Centaur, who personifies the wounded healer and wise philosopher/teacher/healer archetype.  Transiting Chiron squares Sedna from April 2007 to the end of 2009.  As Chiron was only discovered in 1977 and Sedna in 2003 this transit has never been consciously experienced before.  So how will this challenging cosmic transit manifest on Earth? 

Ancient wounds will emerge to be healed, especially those relating to unconscious rejection of the feminine principle within both men and women. These wounds can be buried very deeply in our cellular memory banks. Many wounds that manifested in the physical body in previous lifetime psychological theme behind the cause of the wound will be the same. It will be based on separation from love. Love is our divine essence.

For aeons of time the feminine intuitive wisdom of the heart has been rejected, devalued and degraded. Logic and scientific ‘facts’ are the valued currency of our modern world.  So called ‘facts’ once held so tightly are rapidly being dissolved as new scientific discoveries are made. In our western world the left hemisphere of our brain, the part that contains logic, facts and reason currently holds dominance over the right hemisphere.  It has not always been this way and our cells contain memories of more refined and balanced experiences. 

Our deeply rooted wounds to the feminine principle are associated with our ability or otherwise to value, respect, honour and love our precious planet.  Gaia is a cosmic name attributed to Mother Earth.  She is a feminine archetype.  In Peru and Bolivia she is known as Pacchamama and is honoured and valued there for her beauty, bounty and gifts. In our western world she continues to be unappreciated, devalued and destroyed. 

Humanity has destroyed civilizations before. Al Gore, in his DVD An Inconvenient Truth implores people to wake up and take action to save our planet from man-made devastation. He is willing to fight for truth.

There is hope of a better future.  Sedna operates far away in the outer reaches of our solar system beyond Pluto. She is uncontaminated by energetic pollution of all kinds.  She is pristine and clear.   Her orbit around the sun takes 10,500 years to complete and she is now closer to Earth than she has been for thousands of years.  Why?    A new cosmic body archetype is discovered when it is time for human evolution of consciousness.  Since the time of Sedna’s discovery ‘the lights’ of higher consciousness have certainly been turned on within the mind of humanity.

The incredible energetic wave that embraces the feminine aspect of Christ Consciousness is revolutionizing mass consciousness.  Dan Brown did an amazing service to humankind through his best selling book The Da Vinci Code.     The feminine archetype of Mary Magdalen is now alive and well and growing in considerable status.  She was the equal counterpart to Jesus and was entrusted with the truth of his teachings.  She understood star law and was a highly evolved conscious human being.  Many of the themes associated with her life with Jesus are now being seen clearly.

There are two psychological themes that I uncovered at the time of first writing the article and both are related to the time of the crucifixion. Through my penetrating inner research I discovered that our many and varied life stories containing psychological themes can be reduced to an equation of words.  Words have enormous power.  They can destroy or enhance life.  One word equation I uncovered was: Failure = Lack = Shame.     Let me elaborate using the theme of the crucifixion as an example.   What individual would enjoy seeing a loved one crucified? The crucifixion can be symbolic or real. A feeling of failure is likely to be experienced.   Through the perception of failure the emotion of shame can arise.  This can lead to the experience of lack in the physical world.  Countless millions experience lack.  The emotion of shame can be experienced as a feeling of heat coursing throughout the body.  Physical wounds to the body that carry an underlying inflammation can be based on shame.  Taurus rules our senses.  When we tune into and listen to the messages of our body we can learn to de-code the energetic blockages that take the form of physical wounds.   This is a spiritual science based on inner technology.

There is another psychological theme associated with the crucifixion of Jesus that I uncovered and one that is continually and unconsciously perpetuated.  How many have “washed their hands” of a life situation by their unwillingness to take a stand and fight for moral and ethical right?  Herod ‘washed his hands’ of the situation when confronted with the dispensation of justice and truth at the time of Jesus’ crucifixion. Reflect on the result of this.  This energetic theme is stored in the cellular memory of the collective consciousness.  When one person who allows this theme to rule their life is brave enough to confront and acknowledge it, is willing to feel, accept and own the truth of it, the light of higher consciousness will shine through the former density to shatter the old patterning. A chemical process takes place, internal balance is restored and a lightness of being results. This illumined and liberated energy then begins to work on the collective.

Chiron the Centaur offers many opportunities for wholeness working subtly on bringing into balance body, mind and spirit.  Reflect on the huge surge of natural healing modalities that have emerged since 1977.  As the wounded healer, half-human and half animal he has a challenge, through Sedna, to present opportunities to humanity to consciously create wholeness by integrating body, mind and spirit through the experience of the feminine aspect of Christ consciousness. This requires the willingness to be fully attentive to the body, mind and emotions to allow experience of Divine Spirit.
 
Duality reigns supreme upon our planet.  The huge number of wars amply demonstrates the degree of imbalance. These wars are the out-picturing of the internal warring nature of the mass consciousness beliefs.   Through the energies of Libra we can each choose to balance and harmonize our internal polarities.  This takes the willingness to confront the inner aspects of self that are at war.  We do not need to live our lives in robotic duality.  There are many people who have worked on themselves to consciously develop internal balance and peace as a constant.

In 1977 Chiron rocked into our solar system, seemingly from outer space.  Sedna revealed herself in 2003, 26 years later.  She does not receive the light of the Sun because she is so far out in the solar system therefore she must generate her own light from within.  This is star status.  From my research Sedna is the cosmic body that energetically connects human consciousness to the galaxies beyond our Milky Way through the Galactic Centre.

Jesus attained Galactic or Christ consciousness and transfigured into his light body. He said that whatever he did we also could do.  Mary Magdalen was his equal counterpart.  He valued her feminine intuitive wisdom and high level of conscious understanding and self-awareness.    He entrusted her with his teachings.  The truth of these powerful teachings is now being revealed.  The discovery of Sedna played a vital role in this activation.

Chiron in Aquarius squaring Sedna 18 degrees Taurus is providing the opportunity for a huge leap towards galactic/Christ consciousness through the divine feminine archetype. For those who have planets positioned close to this degree, especially in the fixed signs of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius, you have the wonderful opportunity to heal forever past lifetime soul wounds by developing conscious self-awareness.  You can do this by tuning into your body and listening carefully to the messages contained within the energetic blockages of pain.  The energy is there to willingly release all separation and open your hearts to divine Love. 

In November 2003 Sedna was discovered in the sign of Taurus.  In November 1977 Chiron was discovered in the sign of Taurus. The rising sign for the birth chart of Chiron’s discovery is 26 degrees Sagittarius, the degree of the Galactic Centre.   The Galactic Centre symbolises the cosmic womb through which our solar system was birthed. Buddha relates to Taurus and his enlightenment is celebrated throughout the western and Asian worlds at Wesak time, when the Full Moon is in Scorpio and Sun passes through Taurus.

Taurus and Aquarius form part of the Fixed Cross experience.  The Fixed Cross represents a level of consciousness in which individuals have great difficulty in budging from their comfort zone of old values.   In order to move beyond this level of dense and stagnant consciousness, which can be experienced for countless numbers of lifetimes, much debris of soul experience needs to be consciously transformed.  The themes associated with this stagnation can now be accessed if one is willing to do so.  Self-knowledge leads to clarity and clarity leads to power.  “Know thyself and thou shalt know God”. 

Transiting Chiron square Sedna in Taurus offers an opportunity to heal deep soul wounds on both the individual and collective level.   Our human development has not been offered this opportunity for at least 10,500 years. All that is required is to consciously embrace the realm of deep feeling to discover truth, act constructively on that truth and it will set you free from ancient chains.

At the time of writing transiting Neptune/Chiron and Jupiter are squaring Sedna. Jupiter is the prime mover and shaker activating me to rewrite this article.  This cosmic patterning will continue its influence until the end of 2009 so providing a monumental opportunity for the acceleration of consciousness through the feminine Christ Consciousness.  When the veils of illusion lift, and a bigger picture is perceived, healing begins.   By choosing consciously to heal separation from love hearts can fully open and the Intelligence of the Heart becomes a paramount source of truth.    What a bright future this state of being will create for our children and our precious planet.

Blessings and love,
