Spring Equinox: March 20, 2007

Spring Equinox: March 20, 2007

It is the Spring Equinox 2007. The time has arrived to tally up all the changes, advances, and difficult lessons that have come since the Spring Equinox 2006; get ready to develop a whole new direction in your life. The New Year is not January 1, it occurs during the Spring Equinox each year, the ideal time to set new intentions for a whole new creative year. The megalithic people understood the great power that is available during the Spring Equinox, and now this wisdom is coming back into our world again. Since this equinox occurs during Day Five-the advanced unifying synthesis-it is especially auspicious.

The degree of change in the world and in our lives has been intense during the past twelve months, and so we need to have a brief look into this period, and into what has transpired since the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2006. A major influence during 2006-07 has been Pluto transiting the Galactic Center, with an exact conjunction after the 2006 Winter Solstice. The shift in the world by means of weather and great transformative events has been so awesome that many of us feel overwhelmed and confused. This is because the tides in the world have turned. We are like schools of fish or plankton seeking the new current, a current that can only be found with psychic skills and open feelings. No matter where you are in your process now, you are admitting to yourself that you do not know what the future holds, and that has to be okay. What choice do any of us have?

Considering the Galactic underworld-1999-2011-as defined by Carl Johan Calleman, we are in the middle of the advanced unifying synthesis. Earthly geomagnetic and historical tides have shifted so radically since 1999 that we all just have to surrender and trust. Those who cannot do this, such as the Bushites, are like swimmers fighting the current and being pulled to the bottom. If you have surrendered to the flow, you are allowing yourself to be carried along with all their loot, and you may even be experiencing the collective currents as assisting your movements. Meanwhile, George Bush refuses to play his role as Lame Duck; he still thinks he is the global leader! This is forcing every politician in the system to choose their own path, something that is very new for many of them. The citizens are cheering them on. In our personal lives, we are being pushed against the wall to change and create something entirely new, and it doesn't feel as bad as we thought it would! Or, because it feels so bad, we just surrender, which is the power of the inner feminine.

Pluto on the Galactic Center (GC) is unleashing into Earth the full spiritual powers from the universe itself, and old methods just will not work any more. Pluto on the GC has inspired a titanic evolutionary struggle in our lives: We are all focusing on survival instead of pursuing short-term comforts. On the day of the 2006 Winter Solstice, Jupiter conjunct Mars in Sagittarius (the use of great powers to expand spirituality) was squaring Uranus in Pisces, which rules the spiritual transformation of our reality; this is the aspect that pushed the tides in a new direction. Then, during the New Moons of the Winter Solstice phase, Uranus in Pisces moved closer and closer to the lunar North Node in Pisces, which is circulating all the karma from the past into current time. Because of this complex, we've turned to focusing on survival inspired by Pluto on the GC, and we've realized that the next stage of our evolution is spiritual creativity, not killing each other off in the name of God and his kings.

3. Thanks for posting this, Dream. This is amazingly right on.

I am personally feeling the magnitude of this push, but there truly is the surrendering to knowing there is a higher cause. Gotta go with the flow and enjoy the ride if you can. I am continually astounded at the fact that all the veils are, one by one, being lifted.

As our dear Stella said in another thread, the truth is what truly trumps all and will win out. Looking forward to all the changes that are ushering in the light.

Happy Spring!

6. May your Ostara be a happy one!
Spring reaches its midpoint. Night and day are in perfect balance. Light is on the increase. This is a time to celebrate the end of winter!!!

The Sun God now celebrates a marriage with the Maiden aspect of the Goddess. She conceives and goes on to become the Mother.
It is a time of fertility, new growth, and newborns.

The next full moon (a time of increased births) is called the Ostara and is sacred to Eostre the Saxon Lunar Goddess of fertility (from whence we get the word estrogen, whose two symbols were the egg and the rabbit. The Christian religion adopted these emblems for Easter which is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. The theme of the conception of the Goddess was adapted as the Feast of the Annunciation, occurring on the alternative fixed calendar date of March 25 Old Lady Day, the earlier date of the equinox. Lady Day may also refer to other goddesses (such as Venus and Aphrodite), many of whom have festivals celebrated at this time. The Roman Festival of Venus is on April One (which is where pranking comes from, BTW. They'd send their lovers out on senseless errands to prove their devotion.) (It also happens to be my Wedding Anniversary, so I celebrate anyway!)

Traditional Celebration foods are Leafy green vegetables, Dairy foods, Nuts such as Pumpkin, Sunflower and Pine. Flower Dishes and Sprouts.

Herbs and Flowers commonly associated with Ostara are Daffodils, Jonquils, Woodruff, Violet, Iris, Narcissus and all spring flowers.

Celebrate with Incense or oils scented with Jasmine, Rose, Strawberry, or Floral of any type. Make Moon Cakes (which are round cakes marked on top by a cross dividing it into quarters or 'farls' symbolizing the quarters of the moon and the four elements (they are the original hot cross buns) Bury a piece of the cake then pour cider on to show the earth what it is expected to produce. Plant trees or plant a few seeds to start some plants for your garden! Watch a sunrise or do some spring cleaning (to symbolize a new beginning!)

Have fun with tradition but be sure to celebrate!

8. Woah. Heavy. But right on, for me. And very comforting.
"What choice do any of us have?"

Exactly.
