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....

... 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!
