Astrology: New Moon of Gemini/Full Moon of Cancer

THE NEW MOON OF GEMINI

new moon of Gemini

The most recent new moon (Gemini) took place June 16th, which created the stage leading up to this upcoming full moon, the full moon of Cancer. Normally I only discuss the energies and influences of the full moon, but because of the intensity of this new moon, I want to write a little about it.

This Gemini New Moon was still in the grey area of retrograde Mercury, retrograde Mercury lasting approximately three weeks plus the week of approaching and the week it is waning. Mercury is the powerhouse behind Gemini—let’s say its “influencing hand.” During this time, there are broken promises, broken contracts, misunderstood communications and more.

Mercury rules the nervous system. It rules the nerves and channels of the body, the parts that connect to other parts. Any imbalance with Mercury can cause some difficult problems. You will notice in the above chart that there are four planets in Gemini, including Mercury and Mars. Mercury, the main theme of this planetary stellium, is forming a square to Neptune. So where Mercury is a  neutral planet, the fact that there are four planets in Gemini with the ruling planet Mercury in square to Neptune fired up by Mars, you have a pattern that can give some extraordinary experiences, from failed contracts, physical body ailments, mental confusion to higher world, higher plane experiences. Those with a Mercury-ruled chart (exemplified by this new moon chart) are most likely going through a pretty “jittery” cycle of nerves, requiring some specific vitamin supplements to get through it all, and rest.   (If you have any questions, please post them and I will try to respond, or anyone registered to this blog is also welcome to respond.)

There can be an unending flow of poor communications, arguments, anger, and the more serious: deaths due to out-of-control anger (Mars rules guns), serious mental health issues or deaths caused by mysterious means (Neptune).

Neptune is a very challenging planet for most of us. I believe, in its more negative sense, that it rules not just illusion, delusion, and confusion but also deception—both an inability to detect deception as well as the deliberate intent to deceive. Neptune is impressionable, dreamy, other-worldly, deluded, addicted, evasive, secretive, and deceptive. And when Mercury forms a square influence with Neptune, it can find a person falling into negative traps, either through his/her own doing or through the doings of others. The combination of these two planets in a square influences one’s life and relationships, such as health, such as inflammatory problems; one’s thinking is superficial; the nervous system is jittery; one becomes self-deluded, inattentive, gossipy, untruthful, and acts stupidly; one becomes foggy in thinking, in memory, is forgetful, has mental health issues, and more. So either way, whether your birth chart is heavily influenced by Mercury or Neptune, this new moon (June 16 to the full moon on July 1) will be one “for the books.”

Not to leave Neptune in such a negative way, in its most positive sense, it sees the more advanced Neptunian-type person as sympathetic, compassionate, gentle, sensitive, responsive, selfless, and sacrificing. But whether you are a Mercury or a Neptune person, we will all come under the heavy influences of this new moon chart up through the full moon of Cancer.

 

Full Moon of Cancer 2015

In this full moon chart, you will see that Mercury remains in Gemini, and while Mars has moved into the sign of Cancer in conjunction with the Sun, nonetheless, it continues it fiery energies in this conjunction while in opposition to the moon. Flared tempers and emotions and nerves can still be a problem in some people’s lives, so the test is to be non-reactive and instead use the energy at its higher octave, which means in a positive, creative manner. The Moon can either be nurturing and submissive or oversensitive and emotional. Mars can be active and dynamic or in its negative influence impatient, aggressive, arrogant and combative. If you have a strong Aries or Cancer or Capricorn influence in your chart (Sun, Moon, Rising Sign, or two or more planets in Aries or Cancer or Capricorn, you will need to observe yourself to see if the Moon/opposition Mars energy is evoking reaction and creating an imbalance in your life. And if so, you will need to bring things back into balance.

The Attitude of Inclusiveness

We have spirit and we have matter. The Law of Spirit is inclusive. The Law of Matter is isolation. I think that a person cannot really understand this law, feel this Law of Spirit, feel and understand inclusiveness until they shall, with all their heart, establish a deep understanding of the Teaching of Life.

yaroslav-the-wise-1941_jpg!xlMediumTo engage in a deep understanding of the Teaching of Life we must be standing within the fountain of the outpouring Teachings of the Great Ones. Without drinking the water of Life, the Ageless Wisdom Teachings, many default to living a life of confusion, delusion, and illusion; of unreality.

To achieve inclusiveness, it is not a method of imposition or forcing, but experiencing a transformation of the aspects of life, the virtues and values that we choose. As we go through a process of transformation, of spiritual change, we tend increasingly toward inclusiveness, and adapt the nature of our daily life, to the process of inclusiveness. To do this, we must feel the Law of Spirit. Once we feel the Law of Spirit we begin to live a life of inclusiveness. I know these are a lot of words but once you begin to touch and feel and yes, even taste what it is like to experience inclusiveness – the joy of living the Law of Spirit will touch your heart.

The Teachings of the Great Ones tell us that to respond to the Law of Spirit we must develop:

-discrimination

-Goal fitness

-Adaptation

-Unfoldment

-Readiness

-Cooperation

-Intuition

-Renouncement of ego

Helena RoerichHelena Roerich writes that “Each one must find the key to the Teaching in his own heart. The understanding of the Teaching of Life should inaugurate the creativeness of [your] spirit. The Image of the Teacher, the Master, the Avatar, can give an enlightened path toward cosmic space. Thus, when we accept within our hearts the chosen Image, do not our hearts become aflame with love toward all beings? The creative Materia Lucida (Cosmic Love) serves as embodiment for the high spirit, but this energy is attracted through love. The whole Cosmos is upheld by love. Love is the greatest magnet. Yet conceit stops all progress.”

GRATITUDE _child_daisyThen to develop inclusiveness and to evoke a response in our heart to the Law of Spirit, there are certain values we must strive to put into practice. Let me share this list again. Discrimination, Goal fitness, Adaptation, Unfoldment, Readiness, Cooperation, Intuition, and Renouncement of ego.

These eight values are actually road signs in the process of transformation of changing yourself from being a “materialist” to waking up and hearing the beautiful call of your Spirit.

After a busy day or a busy schedule the man tends to be in stress which could either be in tactile or maybe emotional and secretworldchronicle.com order levitra mental type .

IUniverse-skyn essence all that exists in the one Universe is related to each other. And the transformation process is to make all these relationships conscious.

 

Isolation and separatism eventually create so much pain and suffering that the spirit escapes and discovers the way to inclusiveness.

Leadership is based on the Law of Inclusiveness. A leader tries to include and be included in something Higher. This powerful statement needs some pondering. Inclusiveness means to attract those elements, those values, that will help your growth and include you in a higher goal.

In true inclusiveness you let people and elements nourish themselves and nourish you, making themselves a part of you and making yourself a part of them. Do you see? This is the Law of Spirit. This is feeling the Call of Spirit. By living these eight values you are responding to the Call of Spirit and living within the Rays of the Great Ones.

An inclusive person searches for the diamonds of virtues and values and repulses all that are based on self-interest. Self-interest causes disintegration within any formation.

We must exclude all that is false, cosmetic, pretentious and selfish, to find the way leading to inclusiveness.

Mulla NasrudinSTORY: Nasrudin was eating a poor man’s diet of chickpeas and bread. His neighbor, who also claimed to be a wise man, was living in a grand house and dining on sumptuous meals provided by the emperor himself.

His neighbor told Nasrudin, “if only you would learn to flatter the emperor and be subservient like I do, you would not have to live on chickpeas and bread,”

Nasrudin replied, “and if only you would learn to live on chickpeas and bread, like I do, you would not have to flatter and live subservient to the emperor.”

Do you see, Nasrudin has already excluded all that was false, cosmetic and pretentious from his life. He lived the life of inclusiveness. He had no need to be seen; to be favored; or to flatter himself or others with a life born from self-interest. He had true humility. It is in humility, in the truest sense, a person lives a life of inclusiveness.

HELENA ROERICH-MOTHER OF AGNI YOGA

[1]The highest manifestation of this Feminine Principle has been called by many names, among them, Mother of the Universe, World Mother, Isis, Ishtar and Sophia. To the Esoteric Christians She is known as the Holy Spirit, one of the Divine Triad, where as in ecclesiastical Christianity the Holy Trinity is regarded as entirely masculine.”

Helena RoerichHelena Roerich and her life portrays such an image. There are others, such as the Mother Mary, Isis, and Maya (the Mother of Buddha), but in this writing, our focus is upon the Mother of Agni Yoga, Helena Roerich.

Agni Yoga teaches that the Mother of Agni Yoga and the Mother of the World are two concepts, which emphasize the Feminine Principle as Divine Motherhood.

How “Helena Roerich, whose ceaseless striving and selfless service through many incarnations brought her to that stage of evolution which made her a living example of what woman many achieve, under Hierarchical Guidance.”[2]

AUM imageIn AUM verse 544 it says: “It is not at all easy to be the Mother of Agni Yoga. Only in the course of time will people appreciate all the selflessness which is indispensable for proclaiming the fiery might.”

Helena Roerich is the Mother of Agni Yoga. Who is an Agni yogi?

“The Agni Yogi unburdens space and absorbs all emanation. [A person] who is a mighty warrior, battling with darkness, and [one who] is that power which the dark pack is endeavoring to destroy.”[3] It is to these sacrificial one’s the symbol and life of the World Mother serves as their protector.

700193_093Helena Roerich wrote in 1935, “How beautiful is the Image of the Mother of the World! So much beauty, self-renunciation and tragedy is in this majestic Image! Aspire in your heart to the Highest, and joy and exultation will enter your soul.” [4]

On the 18th of June, 1935 Helena Roerich wrote: “The Mother of the World is at the head of the Great Hierarchy of Light of our planet…Behind each symbol stands a High Individuality, and each symbol covers a great reality. Each Great Individuality has its deputies, or personifiers, who are nearest to its Ray, and sometimes one of these Great Individualities personally incarnates – hence the concept of the Avatar.”[5]

In another letter the revered Mother answers a question from one of her students who asked her about the “Khatak of the Mother of the World.” She answer that the Khatak is the sacred silk scarf which Mongolians and Tibetans present to all spiritual representatives and all especially revered persons, as a sign of respect.”[6] There is a most beautiful painting by Nicholas Roerich in which the Khatak is displayed with the Mother of the World where she is using the sacred scarf as a bridge to help the seeker to climb toward greater heights.

Portrait_of_HRIn another letter Helena Roerich talks about the Goddess Dukkar. She says, “the great time predicted long ago has come. Do you not feel it in all the tension of cosmic and human explosions? All the crust of the earth is aquiver, and a great change is approaching. This time it is not the comparatively harmless tail of a comet but our own emanations which, by their discord with the approaching higher fiery energies, may evoke – or rather will evoke – an unexpected change. It is good during such perturbations to be on the solid indicated rock, under the Umbrella of Dukkar. Our tasks will all have room under this cover.”[7]

“ ‘ Dukkar’ the many-eyed and many-armed, is a Tibetan Divinity of the Feminine Element. She is an equivalent of the Hindu Kali and Lakshmi, the symbol of the Mother of the World. …”[8]

In 1935 Helena Roerich wrote: “the Star of the Mother of the World is the planet Venus. In 1924 this planet for a short time came unusually near to the Earth. Its rays were poured on Earth, and this created many new powerful and sacred combinations which will yield great results. Many feminine movements were kindled by these powerful rays.”[9]

In conclusion:

“The mother, the life-give, the life-protector – let her become also the Mother, the Leader, the All-Giver, the All-Receiver.”[10]

“Now, let woman – the Mother of the World – say, ‘Let there be Light’…

Let every woman enlarge the boundaries of her heart to encompass the hearts of the whole world. These countless fires will strengthen and embellish her own hearth….”[11]
