Entering 2012 purposefully

Dear fellow travellers on Planet Earth,
How is your ride going? 2011 sure has been a very intense year, to say the least!

We entered the ninth and final wave of the Mayan Calendar in March, and moved into a very fast vibrating evolutionary pace. We experienced evolutionary leaps in mere days, that previously took years - or even decades, or hundreds of years to reach. The world has seen so much intense change this year: Old and outworn patriarchal structures have been, and are, breaking down, which will leave room for a much better world to develop.

Then, on October 28th, all of the so called underworlds of the calendar came to an end - this date marked the end of a 16 billion years long evolutionary wave, according to scholar Carl Johan Calleman and more. I know many people have been so curious as to what "would happen" on that date, and many people were also eagerly anticipating the date of the portal of 11-11-11. Some of us may have felt a bit disillusioned that "nothing happened" on any of these dates - but is this really the case; that nothing happened? I absolutely do not think so. I think that we've been given great opportunities to ride these energy waves and work upon ourselves, and that the toughest job, for many of us, is over. But we're all on different journeys, and all on different evolutionary "stair steps" (as Denise LeFay on her excellent blog Transitions often mentions). And so some work remains.

I read somewhere that after the ending of the Mayan Calendar, we've entered into a sort of transition state where the old "ways" - or energy patterns - are, to a large extent, gone, while the new energies are not really grounded yet. The 21st of December, 2012, will be a very important date, because of different planetary and galactic alignments. So, between now and that date at the end of next year, will be a very important period of time. And it feels a bit like a void now, I think, for many of us, as we have for a long time been focussing our attention onto the final "days" and "nights" of the calendar and greatly anticipated its completion... without really knowing what we expected. But it is so important not to give up, not to go back to old and outworn ways, but to keep on dedicating ourselves to our own spiritual evolution and to the new and better world that we will all co-create, together with the other-dimensional realms (in fact we are evolving into multi-dimensionality).

Now is a very good time to think and feel deeply about what you would like to create for yourself and the world during the next year. Right now we're in a very special energetic "pocket", between eclipses, and even if you didn't use the energies of the past New Moon (solar eclipse) at 2 degrees of Sagittarius, you can still try to feel into it, find out where it falls in your chart, and pay attention to what will be highlighted this Saturday (December 10th) when there will be a lunar eclipse (17 degrees Sagittarius/Gemini). This eclipse period is special and magical. Feel into it.

Then, the next New Moon (new moons are excellent for manifestation work!) will be on Christmas eve! That new moon will be in Capricorn, which means it's such a good time to think about what you would like to get done for the next year. Capricorn focusses on the material, on structures and also on vocational goals and social standing etc - so it's good for organizing and getting practical things done, and putting energy into major goals, even one's life purpose. Possibly you will be busy opening Christmas gifts and eating lots of (heavy) good food that day, so it will be a very good idea to get prepared a bit in advance. Still, try to make use of the manifesting energies of the new moon, on Christmas Eve. Then, you can take your "new moon wish list" with you to that New Year's party, and into the next year...

An offer to guidance

As a help for you to use these energies to move consciously and with purpose into 2012, I'd like to offer you the service of working with your chart to help you get clear and conscious on the most pressing things/areas of your life - areas where you feel stuck and don't know how to move on - or simply to gain a deeper insight into who you are and what your purpose is, here on Earth, in this life. If you'd like to work with me, here's what you'd need to know: The readings I offer for the time being are relatively short (4-6 written pages, Times New Roman, 12pt). They are completely synthesised by myself, no computer programming involved. They zone into those areas of your life that you yourself feel are the most important for you at this point in time - or, if you don't have anything that you're experiencing as a particularly important area, I'll tune into what I feel is most important and urgent as seen in your horoscope. No matter if the reading focusses on a particular area of your own choice, or if is a more general reading, I'll always use my intuition to tune deep into the archetypes and into your higher self as I perceive it. I'll also work with tarot and oracle cards to further gain insight into your energetics.

After you've received the reading, there's the possibility of requesting even deeper insights into particular areas, if new questions and issues should be raised, for an additional, smaller fee. If you'd like, you can also request a very full and complete reading - please contact me to find out about details and cost. Also consider working with me regularly during a time period following after the reading. There might be some energy/pattern/issue that you'd like to explore more thoroughly within yourself, and I can help with that. Also in this case, please contact me.

The cost for a regular reading is 50 USD.

To go about requesting a reading, first contact me at capricorniancancer@gmail.com. In this mail, I welcome you to tell me a little bit about why you're seeking this guidance, what your biggest and most pressing questions or issues are - or if you're just looking to receive a deeper insight into yourself and your life purpose. I'll also need to know your first name, and if you're a man or a woman, and the exact time of birth (year, day, hour and minute) and place of birth (city, state, nation). Please note that the time of birth needs to be correct - otherwise the reading will be inaccurate. Please also note that I do not do readings for people under the age of 18 years.

When I have received your request and the data needed, I will confirm your request with an email and await your payment 50 USD (just click on the Buy now button under Soul Purpose Astrology Consultations, on the top right of this page). After I have received your payment, you will need to wait 2 to 3 days to receive your reading of 4-6 full text pages.

I greatly look forward to working with you!

Many blessings, and wishes of magical winter days,

~Anna~

Full Moon in Aries - the Goddess and the Sacred Warrior

We are in the energies of the Full Moon in Aries right now. The lunation was exact at 4.05 this morning here in Sweden. Luna is embracing her fullest visibility, her femininity lit up by opposite masculine Sun in Libra, and her fullness glowing in the potent warrior energy of Aries. Yes, she is in such a powerful position right now! She is even supported by Mars himself - the ruler of Aries, the sign she's in - as he is in a harmonious trine to her from his current position in Leo, where he's strong and proud.

The feminine, receptive Moon may feel a bit awkward in the combative and assertive fire energies of Aries - but the trine from Mars in Leo makes her better able to stand firmly in this power. And so we truly have an opportunity for a strong and powerful Moon, a fully embodied Goddess - the Sacred Feminine is thoroughly supported by the Sacred Masculine - the sacred warrior.

Also on the other side of the polarity of this Full Moon - in Libra - there is a great potential for a marriage between masculine and feminine energies. Libra is a masculine air sign, but is nonetheless ruled by Venus, the love goddess. In connection with Libra, Venus is about balance, harmony, peace, fairness, justice, aesthetics, relationships, partnerships, cooperation. So, in Libra the Sun is influenced by the feminine principle via Venus. The Sun is also in a close conjunction with Saturn, which provides stability and structure. Both the Sun and Saturn represent the father principle, and so Saturn's influence with the Sun on this side of the Full Moon polarity lends a sense of safety and trustworthiness - a grounded feeling for Luna as she stands in her feminine power.

And so it is an interesting and powerful combination of masculine and feminine energies that we are experiencing during this full moon. The yin/yang polarity is always inherent in a full moon (Sun/Moon), but in this Aries/Libra combination we have the other classic yin/yang combination at play, too - the Mars/Venus dynamic. The interesting part is that the lunar, feminine energy combines with Mars which is masculine (Aries), and the solar, masculine energy combines with Venus which is feminine (Libra). Mars himself truly has the potential of playing his role as sacred warrior during this lunation, through his trining the Moon, and sextiling the Sun. Oh of course, that is to say WE - all of us - have the potential of letting our inner sacred warrior support our inner Goddess.

A great part of the ascension process that is happening now on our planet is this return of the Goddess. Today's full moon happens only one day after we entered the last Day of the Ninth and final Wave of the Mayan Calendar - and it actually is the very last full moon of this evolutionary cycle. The potential for a balance between the Sacred Masculine and the Sacred Feminine that is inherent in this very special lunation is an amazing blessing. I wish for many beautiful insights and the serenity that comes with the knowing that balance has been achieved, between Masculine and Feminine, and between Self and Other, for all of you during these days.

Blessings,
Anna

Entering Autumn - the Third Part of the Astrological Year

We have recently entered Autumn, the third part of the astrological year, and it feels perfect to resume working with this blog - and working as an astrologer - within these balancing energies of the recent Autumnal Equinox (September 23, when the Sun entered Libra) and Libra New Moon (September 27). The Libran energies represent balance, harmony, relationships and co-operation, and the energies of the Autumnal Equinox are what's setting the scene for us all up until the Winter Solstice, when the final part of the astrological year begins. So, what is characterizing this autumn? What are we working with? Where are we, energetically? Well, I'm quite certain I don't need to say that the energies at play are intense - but still oh, so beautiful. Looking back....

(Picture: Autumn leaves by John Everett Millais)

... A very dominant energy of this year of 2011 - the very final year of the Mayan Calendar (ending October 28) - is the influence of both Uranus and Pluto in early degrees of cardinal signs: Uranus in early Aries, and Pluto in early Capricorn. These two slow-moving, outer planets play a HUGE part in the collective wake-up call and breaking down of old and out-worn structures that we are now experiencing on Planet Earth. Them being in EARLY degrees of cardinal signs means that they'll have an influence on ALL the solstices and equinoxes this year - which are so important markers during any year - as these are the times when the Sun enters the cardinal signs.

So, this year began DRAMATICALLY with the Spring Equinox Sun (0 degrees Aries) being tightly conjunct Uranus, and square Pluto (although not so tightly, Pluto being at 7 degrees Capricorn). At that time, we had just entered the Ninth and Final Underworld of the Mayan Calendar, and time had sped up x20! The tragedies of the earthquake and following tsunami, and then the meltdown of Fukushima, in Japan, had just happened. Personally I could definitely feel we were entering another phase of our evolution, and the chaotic and powerful energies ushering it all in. I also experienced much turmoil in my own life, and have gone through SO much change since then - especially during summer when we had three eclipses working very transformationally upon us. I'm sure many of you also can look back onto this first half of the astrological year of 2011, and feel that it has been... well, intense. Though that seems like a very small word. Special? Even smaller word, but yes, indeed. Deeply transformational, for sure.

And the Autumn Equinox keeps up the pressure - now, the Sun is in early Libra - opposing the point where it was at the Spring Equinox and opposing Uranus in early Aries. Both the Sun and Uranus are squaring Pluto in early Capricorn, so we have a so-called T-square in effect, and the profoundly disruptive and transformational energies are still very much at play. In all this seeming chaos, we need to recognize that transformation is needed, and we need to do our best to keep our inner peace and balance, and not allow ourselves to become involved in the outer dramas. Yes, BALANCE is really the keyword for the Autumn Equinox and entering Libra. Traditionally we set intentions for the year to come at the Spring Equinox, and come Autumn, we look at what has manifested and how we need to balance our creations. It's a lot about LETTING GO of what's no longer needed or wished for. Although you may not have been aware that you were doing this at the time of the equinox, you may have still done that kind of energetic work. And it's not too late. You should really use this time of the year to find balance and let go of superfluous ANYTHING. Especially this year.

Find your inner stillness, balance and peace

I would like to point out that it's definitely not all just chaos and upheaval in these times. Looking to outer events and what's being reported in mainstream media, this is probably what we see. It may also be what we feel inside of us. But might there be something completely different hiding in the stillness of the center point? Yes, and this is where we now have our very big challenge: Our firm decision to leave our old and outworn false identities and all its superfluous and heavy baggage behind us, and embrace a whole new paradigm where we live from our hearts and resume our intended "roles" as galactic citizens with multidimensional consciousness, and keepers of Gaia. And so when we let go of the chaos and drama, and move into Heart Consciousness, we move into the beauty and magic that are the TRUE nature of these times.

So, you know those rose-coloured glasses that people always told you that you needed to remove? - Well, what you saw through them is THE REAL THING! Because in truth, everything is LOVE. And existence is a magical adventure, which YOU create just the way you want it to be. You still need to know what energies you are working and playing with though, and that is how astrology can help you. If you are in the midst of emotional drama and feeling like you're only experiencing the negatives of the chaos and upheaval around you - perhaps feeling that nothing that you used to believe in is true, or that you have no idea who you truly are - it can be very difficult to find center space, balance and trust to be able to move on in a new world. In that case, please allow me to help you. I am here to guide you to move closer to your true self in these challenging but beautiful times. Astrology is my primary tool for this, and I combine it with my heart consciousness and my intuition. I also use tarot cards to tap deeper into what's going on for you right now, and what you can do to support yourself on your path. Please don't hesitate to contact me at capricorniancancer@gmail.com, to request a reading. There are different alternatives - I work both with written readings, and readings over Skype. If you are located in Sweden, I also work with in-person consultations. Right now I am located in Gothenburg.

I wish you very blessed, magical and balanced Libra days ahead!

With love, Anna

Unlock your potential with astrology

In the last two posts I've been trying to convey a sense of the grandness and importance of the time we're presently in - that is, the Ninth and final Wave of the Mayan calendar, which began on March 9 and ends on October 28 of this year. We are all experiencing this vibrational raise, and the best thing we can do is surrender to the process and become our True, liberated Selves. The evolution of Gaia and humanity is aimed toward us becoming multidimensional and experiencing unity consciousness. This means that we will be able to, while living in 3D - the physical world - simultaneously have a connection to both the 1st and 2nd dimensions, which represents Gaia's inner core - her iron core - and the elemental worlds, respectively, and then the 4th up to 9th dimensions. This will mean remembering our connection with Source and our cosmic origin, and truly living the truth that We Are One. This is all according to the plan, and it is also very, very needed. We humans are destroying not only eachother but Gaia, and it cannot go on any longer.

Rest assured that Gaia will not allow us to destroy her, and the plan is unfolding as it shall: humanity is waking up from deep unconsciousness. But, although this is already a done deal, You are needed to do your part! Each and every human being alive on planet Earth right now needs to wake up from their unconsciousness and step into their authentic, divine selves. There will be no more sleepwalkers abusing Gaia, but openhearted, spiritual humans tending to eachother and to her.

So, you are needed to do your part. And deep inside, although you may feel terrified, I am certain you are longing to align with your true, divine, purposeful self. What's so beautiful about all this, is that as all of us work with ourselves to liberate ourselves from our ingrained patterns and transform into the beautiful souls that we are - we help the Whole at the same time. You have an effect and an impact on everyone and everything that you interact with. Your love, your smile, your inner light spreads like rings on the water... and when you are in alignment with your soul's "blueprint", you will be able to help people around you, or animals, or the planet herself. There may be many, many different ways to do this - you are unique - and it is your uniqueness that is needed on the planet right now! What is needed is that you release yourself from ingrained, unconscious patterns that are dominating you until you become aware of them. There just needs to be light - consciousness - shone onto them, and you can liberate yourself from them. Consciousness is the first step. You may then need some guidance, coaching or the like to not fall back into your patterns - but what is so beautiful about this time, when the frequencies are so high and our planet is bathed in Light, is that karma transmutes very easily and quickly, and our potential to be conscious creators - or co-creators - is very great.

One step on your path to shine consciousness on who you are and where you're stuck can be to receive guidance from an astrologer. Gaia is intrinsically connected with the whole solar system (and of course, with the All), and everything that ever happens here is connected to the cosmic energies around us. You are imprinted with these cosmic energies, too, and exactly how this affects you is shown in your astrological birth chart. So, this chart really shows how you, as an Earth inhabitant, is connected to the Whole, and thus it shows your purpose here on Earth, what qualities and challenges you chose to come in with. And as the heavens continue their ever-swirling dance, the movements of the planets and the stars keep on affecting you in a special way according to your basic astrological make-up - or your basic nature.

If you are feeling stuck, or if you're just wanting to be your best, to understand yourself and why you're here, and be able to play your part in what is unfolding with love and purpose, please do not hesitate to contact me for an astrological consultation. The fees are very reasonable and I will aim to get to your most important issues that needs to be resolved or understood right now. You just need to email me with your questions, and I will suggest to you the type of reading that will suit you best.

Please see this post for more information on astrology consultations.

Sending you lots of love!

Barbara Hand Clow on the Ninth Wave of the Mayan Calendar (March 9 - October 28, 2011)

In a previous post I discussed the Mayan Calendar and how we recently - in March - entered the very final phase of a large evolutionary cycle. This final phase vibrates 20 times faster than the phase before, which vibrated 20 times faster than the phase before that one etcetera, etcetera - and so during this very short time, from March until the end of October this year, we experience an evolution of consciousness as great as what we earlier in history took hundreds, or thousands of years to achieve!

So what is this about? According to Barbara Hand Clow and others, our solar system has been sailing in the Galactic Night during thousands and thousands of years, but is again entering the so called Photon belt. Our solar system will align with the Galactic Center, that mysterious powerful point from which the Mayan Calendar itself is said to emanate. At about the same time, we are experiencing an astrological age shift - we're moving from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. All the details and explanations about what these events are really about - us entering the Photon Belt, us aligning with the Galactic Center, and us entering the Age of Aquarius - are too many for one post... To sum up though, Barbara Hand Clow says that what we're evolving towards (and this is happening NOW!) is a re-awakening of our multidimensional nature and our knowledge of who we are - cosmic citizens - and a re-awakening of unity consciousness or oneness.

In the previous post I started out by writing about how strange everything has felt since we entered the Ninth Wave. The speed-up of time can really be felt. And Gaia is undergoing intense changes as well, which was clearly illustrated by the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Japan, which happened at the same time that we entered the First Day of the Ninth Wave. Here's an interview with Barbara Hand Clow in four parts (you'll find a link to the next part of the interview after this first one's been played), where she speaks about this entrance into the Ninth Wave or Universal Underworld of the Mayan Calendar:



Sending you much love, joy and courage in these spectacular times!

Clarity of Intention and Being In Time - The Mayan Calendar

It's been two and a half months since I last wrote here, and I feel like I've been in a completely different world during this time! I'm asking myself, Whatever happened? - and perhaps some of you are asking yourselves the same question. I'll try to discuss a bit of what it is that is happening with us all at this point in time and space, with the help of some very knowledgeable and intuitive people whome I've come to lean on and respect, two of them being Barbara Hand Clow and Carl Johan Calleman who have both written on the Mayan Calendar and how it seems to describe an evolution of the human consciousness.

I haven't written much about the Mayan Calendar in this blog. I have mentioned Barbara Hand Clow a few times (check out this post for more on Barbara's work on the New Moons, Solstices and Equinoxes, and this one to read about her work on Chiron), but I haven't actually elaborated on her work on the Mayan Calendar, which is built partly upon the research of biologist Carl Johan Calleman, and partly upon her own past life regressions and channelings. Calleman found that the Calendar represents a purposeful evolution of consciousness on Planet Earth (as a living being - Gaia - with her own role in Cosmos), where several cycles of time overlay each other: each representing a different evolutionary period with a special purpose; each vibrating at a rate 20 times higher than the "previous" one (which accounts for a sensation of time being sped up each time we enter a new cycle); and each ending at the same time: October 28, 2011 (this is the date Calleman uses for the end of the Mayan Calendar, not December 21, 2012 as most people believe).

We are approaching the simultaneous culmination of all these (nine) cycles of evolution on October 28 this year at the speed of lightning! On March 9 we entered the fastest vibrating of the cycles, or Underworlds as Calleman calls them - the Universal or Cosmic Underworld. This cycle vibrates 20 times faster than the previous cycle (the Galactic Underworld), which began in 1999. To gain some perspective of the extremely fast developing world we're living in now, though, I'd like you to know that the cycle before the Galactic (the Planetary Underworld) began in 1755, and yet another cycle back, the National Underworld began 3115 B.C! So we're evolving as much as a species during less than one year, in this period between March and October, as we as a species evolved during much larger cycles, earlier in history.

Here's a graphic illustration of the nine cycles of evolution (I know it says that the Universal began in February and not in March and I've seen different dates for this - but everyone seems to agree that the First Day of the Ninth Wave (each of the cycles consists of seven days and seven nights) began on March 9):

(click here to view larger image) When Barbara Hand Clow, who is an astrologer, came upon the works of Carl Johan Calleman, she wanted to test his hypothesis against astrology to see if she could find relevant correlations in the astrological constellations taking place at the time of the big shifts of the Calendar. She found that there were and had indeed been major astrological extraordinarities taking place in the heavens during these shifts - and for her that was "evidence" enough of the truth in Calleman's work. Much of the material she had earlier channelled from the Pleiadians started to make sense to her in a new way. This post is going to become much too long if I go into the details of Barbara's work, but in short she says that we, the human species, are evolving to (once again) becoming true cosmic "citizens" and knowing our origins as starseeds and multidimensional beings. This is what we have the potential for now that we're moving towards the end of the calendar. And the chaos of our times, which seems to have become even more intense since we entered the Ninth Wave or Universal Underworld this March, is a "natural" outcome of the old, 3D focussed world and its structures falling apart.

I chose to call this post Clarity of Intention and Being In Time because we really need to be very, very clear on who we are, why we're here and what our role is in this MAJOR cosmic event taking place right now. We cannot afford to put our heads in the sand and pretend everything is normal or that it soon will get back to normal. We have to step up to the plate and remember who we are. My purpose with this blog is, partly at least, to provide information about this huge shift we're going through, and I can help you align with your true purpose and understand your role and why you're here, via astrology.

A vision of Urania, lit up by the Leo Full Moon

Yesterday's Full Moon in late Leo highlighted my asteroid Urania which it conjuncted. She was one of the muses and she was, according to Darkstarastrology, the goddess of astronomy and astrology (they of course were the same in ancient days) and was also associated with universal love and the holy spirit ( read more in the link above). It was not long ago that I found out where my asteroid Urania is situated - or perhaps I re-found out about it, but it was not until very recently that I truly started paying attention to this asteroid and its placement. It is conjunct my asteroid Medusa which is the asteroid that I was actually interested in at the time when Urania made herself known to me, too.

I found out about these asteroids at the New Moon in Aquarius, which fell in my 8th house, and it was the 8th house emphasis that led me to exploring the dark moon goddesses (as this house has connections to Pluto and Scorpio, plus the new moon itself is a dark moon), one of which is Medusa (see Demetra George's book Mysteries of the Dark Moon). Medusa guarded the ancient female mysteries and had a connection with serpents - an animal which is of importance to me. What she represented got thwarted when she was adopted into the greek, patriarchal pantheon, and well - nowadays we think of her as that horrible woman with snakes instead of hair on her head, who kills you by just one look - especially if you're a man.

Connecting to positive Medusa can, I think, be a very releasing and healing experience for many women today - I know she is an important archetype for me to try to get in touch with. She is the clue to my primal, female, serpent power! And, she is conjunct Urania! And, I want to become a professional astrologer! And both of them are linked with my Mars, which I know I have some difficulty expressing positively. And the whole bunch were lit up during yesterday's full moon. This is really profound as I "discovered" them on the new moon leading up to this full moon. On the other side of the opposition were Sun, Mars, Mercury, Chiron and Neptune! Wow.... this line-up must have added to the feeling of profundity and sacredness this full moon had to it.

My intention for the new moon was connected to both Urania and Medusa, so I expected them to be highlighted right now, to be understood a bit better. And what happened, this afternoon, was I really "connected" with Urania. I was meditating, asking for guidance, and went deep into my inner imagery and felt that I was really in the flow. Then she was there. First, there was a beautiful , exquisite dress being shown to me: pale yellow, with a sweet pattern of embroidered dark red/brown flowers, and with a pretty lace collar - it had a renaissance feeling to it. Then I saw myself in this dress, up in a tower in the starry night, gazing at the heavens through my two (!) telescopes. I knew I was Urania, or embodying Urania, and I heard a voice assuring me that I am on the right path with astrology and need not worry about it, I already have it in me and am really talented at it.

I reappeared from the meditation by the phone ringing, and it was a friend who is an astrologer. She said: I just bought the most lovely, delicate summer dress!

So, there I had it! There are still more questions to be answered - the Medusa connection to Urania is not very clear to me yet - but I know now that astrology is a clue to gaining access to positive Mars. Medusa will probably follow.... I just find these things amazing. We are truly moving into a much better world and we need to start listening more to our inner guidance, and connect with our multidimensional selves. We need to align with our soul blueprint and step more firmly onto our true path. Astrology can help us getting attuned to the cosmic energies and align with the flow. If you would like me to help you understanding yourself and your path better, please contact me.

For more info about astrology consultations at Capricornian Cancer, please read this post.

I hope this post will inspire you to be receptive to what is shown to you at a Full Moon, and that this is a natural outgrowth of intentions set during the New Moon leading up to it. I will write more about "moon magic" in a forthcoming post.

I'm sending you much love and care! Please feel very free to comment upon any of the posts in this blog. I would love to get to know my readers a bit!
