Aquarian Energies & Ascension














(From Barbara Hand Clow’s 2007 book The Mayan Code – Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind )
Today is the New Moon @ 6° Capricorn 8′, and so, here is Barbara Hand Clow’s New Moon report. www.handclow2012.com/astroflash.htm
Capricorn New Moon: December 27, 2008 View Chart
“The New Moon in Capricorn begins the most formative lunar cycle of the year. The Sun goes into 0 degrees Capricorn at the Solstice every year and then the Capricorn lunation follows, which releases the potential of the Winter Solstice chart. The New Moon in Capricorn occurs sometime within twenty-nine days of the Winter Solstice, and this year the Capricorn New Moon occurs only a few days after the Solstice; this intensifies the force of the Solstice, the return of the light. Pluto was close to the Sun during the Solstice and exactly conjunct the day after, and this New Moon with six placements in Capricorn is a really potent lunar seed. You have probably been feeling like your soul and body have been compressed and purified since the Solstice and up till now. Well, you are right.
Capricorn challenges us to mature, to intentionally choose the most meaningful road in life. If you have planets in Capricorn, they encourage you to mature throughout your whole life, and the house that contains Capricorn describes your most important lessons in life. During this time of the year, we may ask ourselves: What really is the most important for our personal lives and our planet? Nobody is going to get off the hook on these issues this month and season with Mars conjuncts Pluto in Capricorn right on the Solstice degree. This conjunction challenges us to completely create a new vision of our cultural and economic conditions that are the natural result of five thousand years of war and male domination. The structures of the Planetary and National Underworlds are disintegrating before our very eyes. [See The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.] We are simplifying our lives, which can transmute the murderous alpha-male culture, as we are coming to the end of the Mayan Calendar. As Mars conjuncts Pluto and releases the potent Solstice during this lunation, true soul searching will arise in the hearts of the people.
The Winter Solstice and Capricorn New Moon charts are exceedingly subtle and loaded with meaning; they were not easy to analyze. You may want to reread the Solstice interpretation again before considering the Capricorn New Moon. During the Solstice, there were two great manifestation forces-Sun/Pluto/Mercury/Jupiter in Capricorn and the North Node/Venus/Chiron/Neptune in Aquarius-and aspects from the Moon in 24 Libra activated these forces. During the New Moon, the Moon has moved to the Sun in Capricorn. Without this playful Libran lunar tickling, these great Capricorn and Aquarian forces roar and grumble like frustrated Titans in the sky. Regarding the consumer collapse in the US, I see these Titans in empty box buildings, shattered display windows, and odd pieces of clothing left on the floor by employees who spent their last hours on the job preparing inventory for liquidation. I see a great Titan, Barack Obama, being handed a bankrupt country after the people’s money was doled out to the big banks. What Titans do you see looming in the winter sky?
Remember that house positions for New Moon charts vary according to your location, so if you want them, you have to cast a chart for where you live. Thus, I leave house interpretation out of these readings except for an occasional glance at the chart cast for Washington, DC. In the Washington, DC, chart for this New Moon, notice that Mars/Pluto sextile the MC, Mercury/Jupiter square the MC, and Venus/Neptune trine the MC, which suggests a lot of action. Once the house positions are removed, the only aspects left besides conjunctions are aspects to Saturn-Uranus opposite Saturn, Venus/Neptune quincunx Saturn, and Mercury/Jupiter trine Saturn. Simply put, now that the Moon has joined the Sun in Capricorn, the great energy locked up in these late 2008 Capricorn and Aquarius forces is further intensified by Saturn. This lunation is a kick-butt chart that can activate each one of us, but only if we are extremely thoughtful and contemplative. Possibly, it is good that people dumped out of the system have time to think a lot for the first time in their lives. As a species, we are not just cogs in the National and Planetary Underworld systems; we are a time-coded species scheduled to become enlightened during the Universal Underworld during AD 2011.
The grand square during the December 12 Full Moon fully exposed the agendas of the people in power in the US. At this point after watching Paulson and Bernanke hand out public money like Santa throwing Ronald Reagon’s old jelly beans to crowds, most Americans know that they are in the middle of a managed collapse of their personal resources. If anyone still doubts this, the great Ponzi pyramid created by Bernie Madoff collapsed, and everybody could see he’d been scamming major financiers and charities. The Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagoyjevich got caught trying to sell Barack Obama’s seat in the US Senate to the highest bidder. Some say, how can I do anything when I don’t know what is going on? Well, first of all, you do know what is going on, especially if you are informed about the cycles of the Mayan Calendar as discovered by Carl Johan Calleman. [See The Mayan Calendar: Transformation of Consciousness.] For those of you who understand the Calleman/Clow time acceleration model, can you imagine how you’d be feeling this December if you didn’t know that we are experiencing the crash of the National and Planetary systems? I am saying this because we must empathize with the vast majority of people, the ones who don’t have any idea why this is happening.
This Capricorn New Moon offers you the chance to figure out what your next series of actions needs to be in light of the obvious stress through AD 2011. This chart evidences great potential for individual comprehension, since the outer reality is unusually disconnected from each person. I will read this subtle and tricky chart looking for ideas of how we can utilize our masculine and feminine powers to craft a new holism in our lives: The masculine and feminine forces grab our attention because Saturn opposite Uranus is stirring up old structures and transmuting them into their spiritual essence; Mars conjunct Pluto stirs up the depths of our inner male psyches; and Venus conjunct Neptune in Aquarius exactly quincunx Saturn stirs up the most revolutionary essence of our inner feminine psyches. Mars/Pluto in Capricorn wants to comprehend the real meaning of maleness since the dawn of evolution; Venus/Neptune in Aquarius transforms feminine power as she challenges father/Saturn by the tense aspect-quincunx-to free her from bondage. What can you do with these revelations? Well, the judicial, papal, and media battles over gay rights are not the point, since each one of us possesses and expresses both the feminine and masculine spectrum. This New Moon chart may forecast a great battle over “gay rights” this month. As a teacher, I would suggest that you explore the depths of your own male/female polarity.
The New Moon in 6 Capricorn is conjunct Pluto combust Mars. Pluto in Capricorn has arrived to break down the control of wealth and power by the Elite to make space for new structures to be created for all the people, animals, and plants. As we know, this process is already in gear, but we haven’t seen anything yet. Mars combust Pluto in the Winter Solstice degree says the structures of war are what must go, and significant steps in this direction can be expected during this lunation. Remember that war usually ends because the players are financially and spiritually bankrupt, not because peaceniks have their way. War is the negative realm of the masculine-domination and control-when what is needed is the protection of women, children, and culture. Mercury (awareness) is close to Jupiter (expansion of fortune) in Capricorn, and Jupiter is also conjunct the 1776 USA Pluto. That is, the US is going to experience a wakeup call on using war for power and domination because the people are finally getting the point. Also, Saturn in 22 Virgo is conjunct Neptune in the 1776 chart. Mars in Gemini squares Neptune in the 1776 chart, and this tight square has been thoroughly examined by many great astrologers over many years; it is the source of American fantasy ridden tendencies to get involved in foreign wars and eventually lose. So, now Americans will be getting a dose of realism by Saturn transiting the USA Neptune square Mars while Saturn opposes Uranus in Pisces.
How could such changes come about? Let’s start with the Aquarius stellium for guidance. Venus and Neptune are conjunct in 22 degrees 18 minutes Aquarius exactly during this New Moon, and “22″ is a great mastery number that arrives when multidimensional forces are running the show; feminine spirituality is going to transform reality this month. This indicates a wave of disgust with killing, military waste, and children used as fodder by old men and cynical women. If you doubt this, Chiron is right there guarding this healing force. Venus/Neptune in 22 degrees is exactly quincunx Saturn in 22 Virgo (ruled by Chiron), which, of course, opposes Uranus in Pisces. Interpretation: The healing force of Chiron is with the spiritual force of the feminine (Venus/Neptune) pushing the recalcitrant controlling father (Saturn) to change radically (Uranus) into a more idealistic pattern in life. Saturn’s ability to change is enhanced when it is in Virgo, and Mercury/Jupiter in Capricorn trine Saturn in Virgo, so that our comprehension of these new levels is strong.
If you think I am way out there with such definite ideas, remember that we are right in the middle of a radical evolutionary leap of our species. When the first fish dared to climb onto the shore and become an amphibian, he/she didn’t know that wondrous legs for running would eventually evolve. When the first hominid stood up probably just for a better view, he/she didn’t know that freed up hands would create tools. When we chose computers and put our brains into boxes that connect everybody on the planet, we didn’t know that this would show us how to dematerialize. So, use the great power of Mars/Pluto in Capricorn to object to your resources being thrown away in warfare. Use the potency of Venus/Neptune to discover how to birth whether you are in a male or female body. And, allow the reality-shredding forces of Saturn opposite Neptune to sweep away the old and make space for the new. Do not forget that the lunar North Node is in Aquarius, which will help you release attachments and ego. It is easier to surrender when the Titans in the sky demand change at all costs.”

I’ve had this strange phenomenon happen off and on over the past few years now and I’m certain it is ascension related. There are a lot of very strange, very intense, very miserable ascension symptoms and each one is pretty unique. But this one, this smelling certain scents for days or weeks and months, is one that can get very frustrating and nearly unbearable at times.
Over the past 5-6 years I’ve had certain cooking food smells remain with me for many days or a week or so despite opening all the windows and doors to try and remove the smells from the house. I discovered that no one else has ever smelled the smells I am, which means it is not “physical” in nature but is something within me. Imagine having to constantly smell the scent of fried hamburger meat for a week, or some strange chemical smell for a week straight? It is horrible.
I want to also talk about how common it is (or was) for certain positive higher dimensional, non-physical beings, ETs, Lightbeings, Angelic beings, Guides, Ascended Masters etc., to manifest some type of beautiful scent before They made a connection to us in our (old) lower dimension and world. It was almost like an announcement via a wonderful smell that a higher frequency non-physical Being is coming into your local space. There are of course other phenomenon when this happens but I want to talk about smelling unusual scents and higher levels or states of being in this post. Here’s a list of some scents I’ve repeatedly smelled in years past when ETs and other higher dimensional beings would come through into my lower 3D reality and physical space:
I’ve smelled these scents numerous times just before and during telepathic and etheric meetings and communications with different ETs beings and other higher dimensional, higher vibrating non-physical beings. They would drop-down vibrationally just enough to be able to interact with me psychically/telepathically/etherically, and I would speed-up vibrationally as much as I could at that time to meet Them in the middle. In most cases some visual phenomenon like a warp, a portal in a corner where two walls and the ceiling met, would happen a few minutes after the initial smell manifested. After that, I and any other person present would experience altered consciousness and then telepathic communications, information shared, discussions, etheric visions and feelings, and other things would transpire. (Every time this ever happened in years past, my cat or cats would always react strongly to the incoming higher beings and/or ETs, by meowing frantically and trying to physically get into the portal or warped area in the house. I think the cats wanted to go back Home too!) That was how some (positive) ETs and other higher dimensional non-physical beings would go about making contact with me, with me and my Mom who was also present during many of these meetings in years past. I’m stressing this point because everything is very different for me and many of us today because of the ongoing ascension process.

In Nov. 2008 I suddenly started smelling burning incense very close to my body. It was like I had some burning incense in my lap and the smoke is constantly floating up into my face, eyes, and throat. It is a pleasant smell of burning incense, however, smelling it for the majority of the time every day and night is getting really bothersome. At times it’s even irritating my throat and making is sore…and, there are no ETs or higher vibrating beings or non-physicals around etherically or telepathically, or in any other way. There is only me now and that is what has changed between now and 5-10-20 years ago! Ascension process at work for me and for Them as well because everyone/everything is shifting and ascending or evolving, not just the humans in 3D. We’ve all moved forward, upward vibrationally during this past decade or so and it is perfectly normal for what’s happening via the ascension process. Many of Them were aspects of Us existing at other higher vibrating levels and dimensions anyway. Many of our “Guides” are also other aspects of Us existing at faster, less dense levels and dimensions, which is well worth the time spent contemplating, feeling, sensing and discerning in your high Heart.

So what is this burning incense smell that’s been with me constantly since Nov. 2008 if it’s not any of my old past ET buddies or other non-physical higher dimensional Beings, Friends and Family from Home? I sense it is ME more integrated with aspects of Them, plus my existing within a new and much higher, faster vibrating level than just a short month ago. Or it is yet another one of the many ongoing ascension symptoms which is about you and I becoming increasingly integrated with some of Them and also existing within a much higher, faster vibrating level. In other words…it’s all the same thing really.

2008 Winter Solstice: December 21, 2008 / View Chart
“The Winter Solstice has arrived north of the Equator, the moment when the light begins to increase again and we seek spiritual inspiration. Hope springs eternal during this special time of the year, when we are drawn to reflect on what we have been creating since the Spring Equinox only nine months ago. During the precarious and creative balance of last spring’s emergence, those utilizing Goddess Alchemy-an ancient Paleolithic way of life-carefully selected three things to manifest from spring ‘08 to spring ‘09. When the Summer Solstice came, we deepened these nascent creations and they blossomed during the summer. With the Fall Equinox, we balanced our new creations with all the other elements in our lives; and now it is time to assess the value of these works within the larger whole. Many of us have been quite amazed to see that our intentions actually did create new things and new adventures.
What did you create this year? Was it difficult or easy? How has your life been changed, and how have your creations influenced things around yourself? I always check my little manifestation box during the Winter Solstice, and ask myself these questions. Wintertime is when I can finally see the wisdom of these creations to assess their impact on the greater whole. With this review, I always feel great trust in this ancient tradition. If you investigate your ancestors, the farther you go back, the more you find reverence for the Winter Solstice within the planetary megalithic system that was probably constructed after the cataclysm in 9500 BC. This year, two of my creations were growing throughout the year, while nothing much was going on with the third one. Then, magically, everything came together with my third desire just a few weeks toward the end of the fall season. So far, I have never failed to create the three things I’ve intended during the spring. Often these works were very demanding, and after more than twenty years of crafting my life in this way, I am still astonished at the power of this technique. Some of you who know me will laugh when I confess what was the most difficult manifestation this year-to become a decent cook. I thought I had failed until just recently!
If you are a greenhorn reading this web site, please read the general description of the process-Goddess Alchemy-in the “Seasonality” section of AstroFlash! The winter part of the process is the very best, especially if you are philosophical, which is Capricorn’s nature. Capricorn is the most philosophical sign, and this year we are getting a huge dose of Capricorn, since Pluto has just moved into Capricorn until 2024. As you can see in the Winter Solstice chart, as the Sun moves into Capricorn (the solstice) this year, the Sun conjuncts Pluto. Pluto’s journey through Capricorn is going to orchestrate the early stages of the Big Ending-not the end of the world, not the end of time, merely the end of the Nine Underworlds of the Mayan Calendar.
Our first really big energetic dose of the meaning and content of the Big Ending has been going on since the New Moon in Sagittarius, November 27, 2008. Since then, each one of us has a feeling for how much the world will change in just a few short years, which seems impossible and overwhelming. As some of you know from my work, during the Galactic Underworld (AD 1999 through 2011) we have been processing the themes and creations of the past, especially industrialization (AD 1755-2011), and authoritarian rule and hierarchical control (3115 BC-AD 2011). [See The Mayan Code: Time Acceleration and Awakening the World Mind.] Now that we have entered Day Six of the Galactic Underworld (Nov. 13, 2008-Nov. 7, 2009), the essence of what we are creating during the Galactic Underworld has become apparent; we can clearly see that we have been developing complex societies that seek comfort for 5,125 years and now we need to move to a new level. Although creating civilization was the direction of evolution during the last 5,000 years, this creation is now out of balance with nature as well as our own deeper sensibilities; we all sense that our culture must become less material. This was merely a stage we are going through, we don’t really want these ways anymore, yet it is so difficult to imagine what is coming next.
I will examine the Winter Solstice chart to see how each one of us can use its energy field to deepen and reflect on what we are creating. Your creations make the world what is it, which is why you must master co-creating. One thing about the future that I feel I know is true is that hierarchies are going away, which will mean each creation by each person will have equal value. This year during Day Six of the Galactic Underworld, we all need to deeply consider how what we are creating is part of the new path that is emerging, to see how what we have chosen is our personal ticket to freedom and blessedness. This is different for each person, and one choice is no better than another one. This is the new information that I am attempting to tease out of the systems that are crashing, the natural ending of the nine Underworlds.
It is very difficult to see anything clearly right now, so I’d like you to consider something. Imagine that way back in the ancient days spirit said that you must build a wonderful boat. Back in those days, you always just followed the impulses of spirit, so you went to work on your boat. As things went along, lo and behold, your boat was chosen to be the Ark-the refuge for the species gathered two-by-two, not just a boat you would be using for fishing in the summer! Well, what you are creating these days is a little bit like that because the things you are creating will be the seeds for a world that has not yet been born. Things feel really unreal as the old world passes away, like the time when Atlantis disappeared beneath the sea. With this idea in mind, do you have hidden feelings that your creations will be destroyed? Or, do you feel that you are crafting devices that can weather the great storm-the rising waves of groaning, whiney, greedy people who clutch desperately for comfort. That is to say, focus on what you are creating and manifesting, not on what is passing away. If you do that, you will be bobbing on the waves in your wonderful boat, not being flushed down the Bailout toilet.
The Winter Solstice chart is extremely subtle this year, which will enhance your ability to really take advantage of the new light. As always, I caution you to do everything you can to keep Christmas chaos (primary consumerism) out of your life; the Elite uses this season every year to keep the people from empowering themselves. The people are hypnotized by the fairy story of the sacrificial god hanging on the cross, which is a disgusting parody of the World Tree. The exquisite mystical grace of the indwelling Christ is lost in the dollar signs when your inner hunter-gatherer self is targeted with mind-control technology to get you to run around shopping centers where the shooters lurk. Just stop it! If you haven’t garnered that special gift for the one who matters until the last moment, what are you doing?
The solstice energy floods your world starting about three days before the Sun goes into Capricorn, exactly when the Sun transits the Galactic Center at 27 Sagittarius. If you have kept yourself in a heightened, spiritual state of mind, you will feel extremely high frequencies from other dimensions and spirits. All the ancient ones revered this time of the year when Earth feels the sky. They built magnificent stone cairns to capture the first new light, such as New Grange in Ireland. This potent infusion of the subtle realms will build and build through the climax of the Sun going into Capricorn, and you can burn candles or place soft lights in special places to remind yourself of the light and to connect yourself with all the ancient power places. If you take advantage of this special time of the year, you will know your purpose, and you will find much greater meaning in everything during the winter. Because Pluto went into Capricorn a few hours before the Sagittarius New Moon, the whole period during early December has been soaked with great structural changes. There is so much significance in these times that you must take time to capture its essence; Pluto is in charge of the new order coming in now, so this Solstice period will telescope the coming changes. Aligning with the deep and knowing frequencies coming in during the solstice, and when the Sun exactly conjuncts Pluto the next day, offers all of you a jumpstart on change. Attune to it, discern it, feel it, know it, and you will easily become part of the Milky Way Galaxy’s mind.
Astrologically, two great manifestation forces are arranged in two groups, while all of the planets are on the left side of the Saturn opposite Uranus line. These two groups are set up to get things done. The first big force is Sun, Pluto, Mercury, and Jupiter in Capricorn, an earthy stellium that is bringing in the new formation and will activate on December 26, when Mars also moves into Capricorn. Of course, with this much Capricorn, a crisis over who is in charge may occur. The second big force is the North Node, Venus, Chiron, and Neptune in Aquarius-the essence of the creative potential in this chart. The Aquarian placements suggest new creation will be for the direction of a greater whole (North Node), from our inner feminine (Venus), healing (Chiron), and very spiritual (Neptune). These Aquarian elements will explode when Jupiter goes into Aquarius on January 5, 2009, a few days before Barack Obama takes the reins. Regarding the Capricorn formation, its identity (Sun) is to craft deep and transformative systems (Pluto), that will be thoroughly understood (Mercury), and these systems will be practical and expansive (Jupiter). Saturn in Virgo trines the Capricorn formation, thus an orderly and disciplined transition is possible. Yet, Saturn squares Mars in Sagittarius on the Galactic Center, which suggests that forces that oppose the new path will be active, creative, and aggressive. This strife will serve to vent pent-up frustrations and feelings in the populace, since the Moon in Libra sextiles Mars in Sagittarius.
Saturn opposite Uranus, a battle between structure and transformation, is the key to this solstice chart because the grand square of Saturn opposite Uranus squaring the Full Moon on December 12 really exposed the beliefs and agendas of the people participating in the power struggles. On the day of this potent Full Moon, the Senate refused to bailout the auto industry, so whatever is going on with that issue during the Winter Solstice will be a central issue until the Spring Equinox. During the Winter Solstice, Neptune quincunxes Saturn, an aspect that continually pushes people to opt for spiritual goals and solutions, to not abandon their idealism; the people may push hard to keep their jobs and for a restructuring of the car industry. The Moon in Libra trines Neptune in Aquarius, so the people cry for balance, harmony, and decency. Wanting a spiritual instead of a materialistic perspective, they demand a vision of the future instead of the same old thing. With the great emotional tension of the Moon in Libra square practical Jupiter in Capricorn, there will be deep public frustration over financial matters all winter. But, since Jupiter still trines Saturn in Virgo, there is an underlying belief that things will work out in time. Feelings of trust are strong, since Mars sextiles the Moon as well as Neptune-which, of course, is trine the Moon in Libra. There will be a feeling of a world about to end when Mars goes into Capricorn on December 26 (Boxing Day), and then the new world coming in will burst through when Jupiter goes into Capricorn January 5. Even though spiritual direction is critical now, the emphasis will be on practicality.
This winter season will be a time to face hard realities, to struggle for meaningful change, and to think more of our selves in terms of the whole. The final key into what the winter might bring is that Jupiter in 27 Capricorn is conjunct Pluto in Capricorn in the 1776 USA Foundation Chart. [See "Methodology" below.] The US will experience its Pluto Return when Pluto gets to 27 Capricorn in 2022, when it will go through a great purification and a new creation based on new systems of power. With Jupiter conjunct the USA 1776 Pluto during the Winter Solstice and Pluto entering into Capricorn during Day Six, Jupiter’s aspect to the 1776 USA chart suggests the US will experience a great financial reckoning this winter as Jupiter moves into Aquarius from January 5, 2009, through January 2010. Remember, your essence is not contained in financial systems that express only a part of you. This will be the winter when everyone comes to a whole new relationship with money as energy-instead of being a people who are controlled and limited by it. I can’t imagine how this scenario will work out, but Jupiter in Aquarius says: “We need to be freer now, so we will.” Have a great meditation!”

Sunday December 21, 2008 is the Winter Solstice (WS). The transiting Sun enters 0° Capricorn and we reach the shortest day/longest night point of the year. Then the Sun’s Light begins to Return, or slowly increase a bit each day despite it being cold dark Winter. I’ve always loved the Fall and Winter quarters even though they’re very different energetically. I deeply enjoy the quite, reflective time that Winter is. I like going deep and still inwardly and reviewing the previous 9 months and all that’s manifested since the Spring Equinox (March 19, 2008 Sun is 0° Aries). The Winter quarter is energetically sort of like one big retrograde period in a way, in that it’s the time of the year when we’re supposed to go deep within ourselves and contemplate the previous three seasons – Spring, Summer, and Autumn. The Winter quarter has always been the period where we can cross the River Stix and visit the Underworld if need be, to make whatever inner changes, releasings, purgings and adjustments that are required before the Spring Equinox energies arrive and we enter the cyclical process over again but on a higher rung of the spiral.
This WS happens on Dec. 21st., and only a few hours later the transiting Sun will conjunct Pluto on Dec. 22nd @ 1° Capricorn. A few hours after this on Dec. 23rd is my birthday – my natal Sun is 1° Capricorn 2′ so I’ll be having a big ol’ Pluto Birthday Party this year for sure! I love the energetic onslaught of the Winter Solstice, then this Sun/Pluto conjunction, and then my birthday/solar return with all this conjunct (to the degree) my natal Sun (and Chiron @ 4° Capricorn but that’s another story.) Gadszooks, what a way to enter Winter this year! Many months ago I was a bit concerned about this transit for myself, but now I’m just excited to get on with it and let the further transformations happen as they’re supposed to.

You astrologers out there remember all the buzz the past couple years about transiting Pluto conjuncting the Galactic Center (GC) in late Sagittarius? Keep in mind that all things manifest first on higher, faster vibrating unseen levels, realms, or dimensions. Eventually they get filtered on down vibrationally until finally it manifests within the physical plane – 3D. Capricorn/Saturn has to do with physical 3D reality, not just certain “structures” and “authority figures” within it, but with the very physical reality we find ourselves in. With transiting Pluto in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn the Lord n’ Master and glue of 3D physical reality), all the previous layers of Unseen Inner Work (planetary ascension work and Lightworker Work) done while Pluto was in Sagittarius (and the previous signs of course), and the repeated conjunctions to the GC, now physical 3D reality is and will externally manifest numerous global changes via Pluto in Capricorn. What has been done already on other unseen inner levels energetically (especially in Sagittarius), and also the Pluto conjunctions/downloads from the GC, is now manifesting in the physical world via Pluto in Capricorn. Dense physical SEEN reality will now transform because these energies are intensly focused and manifesting within 3D. Steps, layers, cycles and phases, otherwise this amazing process would destroy us all.
It will look scary, it will feel scary, it will no doubt BE scary at different periods these next two years, but this is how the old lower ugly corrupt and dead-end negative greed mongers of the planet will be removed, one way or the other, via the Pluto in Capricorn transit. Physical 3D reality is and will, continue to change dramatically because it’s the last level to manifest the other higher unseen inner energetic changes. The planetary insanity, greed, global corruption, the monstrous egos running the planet have naturally reached the point where their time ends, and a higher heart Way will replace them and their toxic world reality. I also believe that the next two years worth of Saturn/Uranus oppositions in Virgo/Pisces are going to assist and speed up what Pluto in Capricorn is and will continue to be doing to humanity and reality. 2012 is right around the corner people, and the transits and other cosmic cycles are helping and pushing humanity in so many ways to get as many of us energetically up-to-speed vibrationally in a new and higher level of being NOW…not later at 2012!
USE the Winter Solstice this year like you never have before. With the Sun/Pluto conjunction only hours after the WS, those few days from late Dec. 20th through Dec. 24 will be very potent not to mention the New Moon on Dec. 27th @ 6° Capricorn 8′! Happy Winter Solstice everyone.

The other day I had a special conversation with the Hispanic man who does gardening in town. He speaks English well but there are plenty of words that have such a heavy accent that I can’t always tell exactly what he is saying. If I don’t catch the exact word, a few more sentences later will let me know what he was talking about. And so occasionally we have these stilted, sometimes strained language misunderstandings but, we still manage to have some very nice deeper level conversations with each other none the less.
In this case Antonio wanted to talk briefly with me about the horrible state of affairs the world is currently in, and how god isn’t much impressed with humanity. One of the many highly interesting sentences that flowed, rapid-fire, out of his mouth was, and I quote – “Daz too much computies in da sky!”
I agree completely, there are far too many satellites in orbit around earth, like an energy net holding humanity IN and DOWN. Here are some images I found for this particular blog post and they speak for themselves.


Yes there are way too many “…computies in da sky…” just like there’s way too much everything/everyone else back on the planet being really selfish, lazy, unaware, and greedy. This insanity on and off planet, will not continue for much longer now. When did humanity turn into the homeless insane, living in their own junk, filth and waste both on planet and off, and acting like it’s all perfectly normal and acceptable?

It sure has been an abnormally expensive Autumn quarter for me personally. And from what I’ve been hearing from other people, it has been equally expensive for them too. A near constant flood of unexpected repairs on their vehicles, homes, having to replace expensive appliances in the home, unexpected and very expensive vet bills for the beloved family pet/pets, costly medical bills because of no medical insurance due to unexpected trips to the dentist, the doctor, the sudden unexpected death of a family member, unexpected and costly computer repairs, and on and on and on.
I’ve had to tap into my Emergency Funds stash repeatedly throughout the entire Fall quarter. I’m not talking about spending ANY money on Christmas gifts but on all these other not-so-fun, but absolutely necessary purchases. One situation after another with hundreds of dollars going out for each of them, each month, but with no extra money coming back in to replace it. A test? A test of faith? A phase where many of us are having to pour lots of money back into the “falling” systems out there? The long transiting Saturn/Uranus opposition? The much longer transit of Pluto in Capricorn? Certain physical devices not coping well with the intense and ongoing energy shifts and ascension process? Certain humans not coping well with the intense and ongoing energy shifts and ascension process? More letting go of certain belief systems, expectations, actual possessions, and even maybe some much loved people? I believe it is a resounding YES to all of the above, and more.
A few days ago my computer suddenly had a NDE - a Near Death Experience. In fact it did ‘pass away’ and was brought back from The Other Side by a gifted computer tech guy, but it’s not the same….they never are, are they? Because the computer problem was far more serious than I realized, the whole thing cost a couple hundred plus dollars. Before that was some car maintenance, before that a trip to the dentist with no insurance, before that was replace the washing machine which did die completely, before that was, well…a lot more stuff.
I find the timing of all this rather interesting actually and I’ve pondered how it’s probably another aspect of the “falling” systems and structures of the old lower world/reality/consciousness. I sense simply exchanging goods and abilities as the way of the very near future. No money required finally, just honest giving and exchanging with no lower ‘negative’ motives, greed, or power/control issues.
I live in SoCal where I sense many of these old lower systems are ‘passing away’ very quickly. California has always been unique (which is just polite for weird!) and a place where many things and trends get started first. California has been through the energetic ringer repeatedly over the past few years with it’s numerous Fire Storms, mud slides, earthquakes, and come Feb. 2009 the state is financially broke. Lots of deep purgings, transformations, releasing of ego expectations and certain lower consciousness belief systems, repeated ‘letting go of’ by so many people who’ve lost their homes and everything in the purging Fires, and lots of people helping other people all on their own because the Systems won’t or can’t any longer. And it’s going to get worse, or so it will seem at first glance. But this is the “falling” we’ve all been hearing about for the past few years now. The old lower must fall, must ‘past away’, so that much higher vibrating people can create new, higher ways of living and being for themselves where
does not exist.
Even though I haven’t always been in the best of moods when another couple hundred dollars needed to be spent on some something that just broke…I’ve sensed that all of this is really indicating something very, VERY positive for all of us.

Here we are again, making the speedy annual Fall pilgrimage up the Energetic Ladder. That’s not to say that we don’t do this throughout the rest of the year because we do, but the past couple of years now, the Fall 9, 10, 11 and 12 months have been incredibly intense and life changing. It really is a time of Harvesting and then adapting to these inner and outer changes.
Because I had been so busy during the Spring and Summer months working on my new book, (The Temple Of Master Hotei) and then the big rush during Sept. and Oct. to edit, re-edite and publish, I wasn’t paying much attention to the building Fall Harvest energetic pressures. I was really more in a state of confusion and dismay over the book manifestation in late Oct. and was trying pretty hard to not acknowledge that big shifts and changes that were on the near horizon for me, again. But as always when we hunker down and try to remain where we had been when it is clearly time to move on, it is often a difficult and/or painful transition. It shouldn’t be but it often is.
And to make this years Fall Harvest more stressful and painful for me at least, was the fact that I didn’t really want to leave where I had been for the past 14 months. For the first time I had a little online Family and a place to hang out and share that was safe and sane. What a special rare gift it and they were too.
But by the time transiting Pluto made his great Costume Change from Sagittarius into 0° Capricorn on November 26, 2008, I simply couldn’t resist that powerful rush of new energies and was literally, energetically, shoved out of that familiar and much beloved club. Not by any one person or group of people there, but by Pluto, and one doesn’t screw with Mr. Pluto when He is knocking on your front door! You just ride the white-water on out and try to not freak out too much.
And now it seems to be that period, that phase, where many of us adapt to our new surroundings and wait for the Winter Solstice Sun to reach 0° Capricorn (and my birthday Sun at 1° Capricorn 2′). I suspect the Sun/Pluto conjunction on Dec. 22nd, only hours after the WS (Winter Solstice) (and hours before my birthday), will alter humanity and “reality” in brand new and highly dramatic ways!!! I now see that this is one reason why I had to go through my recent Harvesting process and hang out by myself for awhile in No Mans Land. What a birthday present this year….PLUTO and me….up close and personal, for a good long while.

Seriously, this should be fun at this point. Last night at 8:18 PM (I’ve seen numbers like this for years now; 2:12, 3:13, 5:15, 7:17, 8:18 etc.) we had another small but close earthquake here in SoCal. Hello Pluto in Capricorn, yeah let’s shake n’ bake the old falling reality so that a new and vastly higher, better world “reality” is available for those ready for one finally. This all-over-the-place post is really about the stages and phases of ongoing TRANSITIONS each of us goes through via the ascension/evolution/shifting process. What seems and feels so horrible one day, is easily seen a few days later as another very necessary change so as to be able to deal with more of what is coming soon. Things are rarely what they first appear, and we need to get ready for what’s coming with this years Winter Solstice and Pluto/Sun conjunction during it; some of us Mt. Goats more so than other folks.

In September 2008 a book manuscript of mine was accepted by Booklocker.com, Inc. and then the mad dash really started. Ignorance truely is bliss as they say. Wow…from accepted to physically manifested in about 30 short days. I’m positive I was in a state of shock during the whole confusing process because I sure didn’t know what I was doing through most of it. But after 23 years of waiting The Temple Of Master Hotei: A Unique Past Life Memory was finally birthed into the physical world in 30-some blazing fast short days! I can clearly hear Master Hotei laughing hysterically from very far, far away…
So what is The Temple Of Master Hotei about? It is based entirely upon a past life memory of mine. The great part is that even if you don’t believe in past lives, reincarnation, multiple time-lines and dimensions, it is still a very warm, unique, humorous and heartwarming story about spiritual learning’s, respect, and eternal love between a young male student and his great spiritual master teacher…and oh so much more.
There are two main characters in the book; Master Hotei and his initially very young male student (age seven), Ivory One. Another highly interesting and possibly controversial aspect of all this is that Master Hotei is more commonly known as the Laughing Buddha. That fat, jolly, generous, loving, jovial and very wise ancient Chinese master we’ve all seen statues and pictures of. That is Master Hotei. The other very interesting thing is that I didn’t know this for many years after I’d written the book manuscript! Like I said, the whole book is based only upon a past life memory of mine, and I’ve had numerous amazing synchronicities, conscious re-connections with Master Hotei in this life and time-line, and further discoveries unfold many years after I wrote the original book manuscript in 1985. (I explain about it all in the Introduction.)
Another interesting and possibly controversial (only to some people) aspect of my past life memory - The Temple Of Master Hotei: A Unique Past Life Memory - is that it also deals with a fully conscious death, the highly conscious state after the “death” or complete separation from the physical body, and then, a seemingly brief meeting with what were known to me/Jade One as, the “Lords of Humanity” or “Ray Lords”. I can’t say much more without ruining the end of the book for you but hopefully I’ve roused your curiosity enough to buy the book and take the wonderful journey with Master Hotei and Ivory One/Jade One for yourself.
This book isn’t strictly about the distant “past” as you may first believe, but it is also about what we’re living through right now in this time-line. There it is again…the blessed sounds of Master Hotei laughing far, far away…
I’ve offered two free Chapters to read at my Booklocker book page. Click on the first Booklocker link below and then look for the “Free Excerpt From The Book” link there to read them both. I hope they give you an idea and feel of what the book is about and the energies within. Enjoy.
