Heartfelt Creative Courage & Support - Total Lunar Eclipse

In less than 6 hours from now, as I write this post, we will begin to experience a Total Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon - the first of two this year! During a Total Lunar Eclipse time is accelerated. We will emotionally undergo a 29-day Moon cycle during the 3.5 - 5 hours of this eclipse! Some of us will be sleeping, some of us awake. No matter what - Time will Accelerate your state of  emotional consciousness - be it coming from Love, Fear, Guilt, Shame, Joy, Peace and/or Light!

Almost Full Moon January 31, 2018

This eclipse will begin as of 3:15a MST Calgary time (Calgary lies 36' west of the MST zone), with the maximum eclipse occurring roughly at 5:53a MST Calgary time, and ends around 8:28a MST Calgary Time. Add or subtract 1 hour and 36' from this time if you are East or West of MST (or 2 hours 36' - you get the picture!).

This eclipse is located within the fixed fire sign of LEO - at 11 degrees of Leo 37' - hence bringing forth the themes of HEART, Courage, Creativity, and Support - Leo rules the heart, back and spine of our physical bodies. How are you heartfully supporting yourself, your creativity, and taking the courage to roar like a lion (assertively vs. aggressively) to SHINE your Light of You out into the world? Heartfully, what is it you'd like ACCELERATED early tomorrow morning, positively, honestly, without judgement or criticism of self or others?

Wherever Leo resides in your birth chart - this is where Time will be Accelerated - to clear off that which you'd like to let go of, to bring forth that which you'd like more of. Leo rules the 5th House of the birth chart, where the Sun is ruler - therefore the SUN is also the Lord of this Total Lunar Eclipse (and sits in Aquarius this night)! Interestingly, Leo is about Leadership, leading with heart, as part of a team, leading by example. Leo is about having fun and play, connecting with the children in your life AND your own Inner Child. Leo is about the romance/heart centred energy you already have or wish to have in your life.

I find it fascinating that President Trump chose tonight to deliver his State of the Union speech! In time? On time? Past time? It was interesting to hear all of what he wishes for his country and for the people who live and work there. Was he coming from the heart? Time will definitely tell...what has he ACCELERATED this night? We now know HIS intent...

Then Robert Kennedy JR - grandson of Robert Kennedy and great-nephew to JFK, former President of the US - made the Democratic Response speech. Interesting choice there. Third term Senator, aged 37, and is he the Democrat's future hope for the next Presidential race? Again, Time will tell...

Here in Canada - scandal now abounds from the ripple-effect of the US abuse of power scandals of the Fall of 2017...who says Canada isn't connected to the US? Or affected by their decisions, doctrines and trades? Time will tell yet again...

Almost Full Moon January 31, 2018

January 31st, 2018 holds the INspired Fire of the Creative Source of ALL - are you listening to your INspired creative heart? What is it you truly wish to create for your life these next 3.5 years? Why 3.5 years? An year for every hour of this Total Lunar Eclipse - give or take 45' each side.

Bring forth your heartfelt wishes and dreams, stir in some courage, stand tall, and take a Leap of Faith FORWARD into your life - and do it now, before you go to sleep - or get up early and meditate within the love, creativity, intuition, and FEEL your way forward into your future self. Leo is the opposite sign to Aquarius - our future self resides within this fixed air sign - which pours forth, from the Heavens, future knowledge required NOW. What future knowing do you carry Within, that needs to be shared Without? As Above, So Below. Create it!

One can list all the things, people, circumstance they wish to be accelerated tomorrow - however, if it's missing the HEART feeling, it won't fly! Bring your HEART into it - all of it - BE it! Love it, bless it, and let it go into the hands of the Universe to deliver it as it is meant to be received within the next 3.5 years of your life.

Ego and applause and greed have nothing to do with any of this. Aquarius asks us to BE our true authentic self; Leo asks us to BE so, heartfully. Support yourself, and your community, with heart. Assert with heart. Create with heart. BE heart.

Namaste

Worldwide Currents of Outrage...

It's been a while since I last wrote here. Lots of changes happening (all good!) within my life. And interestingly, quite the change going on in the world today.

My good friend Diana Frajman, from Vancouver Island, wrote a post in her Crone Confidence blogsite called, "Is This a Feminine Awakening or a Reckoning of Man?" now that Canada's leaders are being outed for their power and control abuses after the USA male leaders were outed before Christmas. The debate is this: are the women going too far, somewhat doing to the men what the men did to begin with?

I commented the following, and I thought everyone who reads this Astrological blog would benefit knowing what's going on Astrologically, in perfect timing. Please read on...

Hi Diana, love what you wrote here. 

Astrologically, due to ERIS (the gender role rebalancer ever since she was discovered earlier this century) and sister planet to MARS, dancing closely with Uranus (rebel with a cause, Expect the Unexpected, with individuation - how can I BE my true authentic self?) since June 2012 within the cardinal fire sign of ARIES - ruled by MARS! - we are seeing women taking back their power, yes. We are seeing men stumbling due to their abuse of power, yes. We continue to see the wars ensue in the Middle East, the underground wars re guns, drugs, trafficking of people etc.

The KEY planet who is helping along the way, who started her Synodic journey in ARIES back in March 2017, is VENUS - our Desire Body - bringing forth a renewal of HOW we Desire to do ARIES - helping to change the bloodthirsty, war-like energy that has been known as Aries since the Patriarchy began. Now with the two feminine planets - ERIS and VENUS - working together as their true individual aspects of the Feminine WITHIN the masculine energy of Aries - we are coming to the Full Moon point if you will - according to Venus' journey in the night sky, akin to the story of INANNA, we are currently undergoing a collective Inner Death as we walk with Venus in the Underworld - dying to our former selves - consciously or unconsciously - we are ALL undergoing this transformation.

By February 2018, Venus will begin emerging as the Evening Star (she began as the Morning Star in March 2017) where she regains the vestments she discarded over 7 months last year. Now, the following 7 months, beginning in March with the New Moon energy, there will be a steady RENEWAL of how we all DO Aries energy in our lives - men and women, boys and girls.

Venus brings Love, Acceptance, Diplomacy, Equality, Discussion, Debate and 'seeing' beyond the Ego-self. Over time, this will grow more and more. The Venus Synodic Cycle is what I am talking about, and have been writing about (see my previous posts in three parts), where she meets up with our Moon, 7 times, to remove / cast off that which she no longer needs, letting go of the distortions of what she's been carrying with her up until now. For 7 months, after her walk through the Underworld (where we are now) she picks up a RENEWED sense of self, again 7 times, to become whole.

Each Venus-Moon connection (x 7) reflects one of our Chakras - the first round of 7 (since March 2017) had all of us removing the distortions from our Crown down to our Root Chakras (until October 2017). Do you see the timing of it all?!

Coming up in March 2018, we regain our Root Chakra, this time having let go of those toxic distortions we've been holding for far too long. And on for the next 6 months following, until again in October 2018, we finish off with the renewed Crown Chakra. Very cool how our solar system assists with our Inner/Outer Growth here on Earth!

At the same time, Jupiter has been in Scorpio since October 2017 - bringing forth all the ugly fears, deep dark emotions of abuse, power and control issues that have been buried collectively for way too long. Jupiter expands us beyond current boundaries and helps us take courage to walk a wider path than we ever thought possible before! Going beyond the boundaries we created for ourselves up until now. Jupiter calls us to expand ourselves; Venus calls for us to Love Ourselves and each other; Eris calls us to assert the wrongs that BOTH genders have caused over time.

The current struggles, while BOTH genders deal with an equalizing of their Inner Feminine/Masculine energies, are indeed coming to a head. WITH LOVE, Acceptance, and honouring one another, we will see ourselves through to the other side. These next 10/11 months will be interesting to witness. We Live in Interesting Times....Namaste, your Astrological Friend, Laurie Rae Rezanoff 

All timely, which is why Astrology speaks to me and anyone who is looking for the WHY of NOW challenges we undergo as humans. The Ancients knew what they were doing 5,000+ years ago, assigning the right and proper archetypes to our planets, the Moon and the Sun, connecting our collective Spirit with our earthly lives as people evolving over Time.

It will be an incredible journey, for all of us, this year of 2018! Numerologically, 2018 reduces to the Master Number of 11 - to be of service beyond the Ego-self, to gracefully show up no matter the challenge, and to do so With Spirit and Heart and Love and Forgiveness.

I plan to create a monthly workshop for Venus' next Synodic Journey from her next position within SCORPIO (beginning in November 2018). Healing all our buried fears within our chakras. Stay tuned for more information about this.

In the meantime, listen to your Inner Feminine AND Inner Masculine - be you man, woman, boy or girl. BOTH genders have wonderful aspects to offer (always have) and within the New Age of Aquarius, we have the opportunity to RENEW these energies within the sense of allowing each of us to BE our true authentic selves, AND grow/evolve Within Community, together.
