Summer eclipses and Cardinal Grand Cross

Well I definitely felt the effect of this past eclipse starting from a few days before, when I experienced intense free-floating anxiety for days.

No amount of deep breathing seemed to dispel it, and I was wondering what the hell I was tapping into. This was later accompanied by diarrhoea so I got the physical purging also. Being a sun in Capricorn type I expect that is why I was feeling it more than others, and I did wonder at the time whether it had anything to do with the very intense astrological configurations going on this summer.

This is what it says about the eclipse:

This Lunar Eclipse happens on June 26 at 7:30 a.m. EST at 4 degrees and 50 minutes in Capricorn. Those with natal planets/house angles within 5 degrees of cardinal signs will more strongly feel the impact of this eclipse, presently and in the future, more so than others. Capricorn-Suns born on or around December 26 will have this eclipsed Moon and Pluto conjunct their natal Sun and would definitely feel the impact of this eclipse in the days approaching the eclipse, as well as the longer term.

There is of course the upcoming Cardinal Grand Cross that everyone, or at least every astrologer is talking about. I expect cardinal signs, such as Capricorn, will also get clobbered more than some of the other signs. As it is supposed to be such a major astrological event I have quoted some paragraphs about it below, with website links to the fuller articles. I suppose we will not know how exactly it will play out in the physical 3D realm until after the event, and then there is also the inner realm and how these energies influence, reflect and symbolise our challenges and transformations on more personal levels.

You are entering of one of the most powerful and intense energy crucibles experienced on the planet in many millennia, and the relative 'temperature' is about to drastically increase. It is the Diamond Triad, and is the purpose behind the encouraging 'OM Wave' that the Cosmic Council of Light have graced you with.

There are three very significant astrological occurrences over the next five weeks (June 26-August 4). These are:

· The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse June 26

· The Solar Eclipse of July 11

· The 5 Planet Alignment of July - The Grand Cross

The June 26 eclipse of the full moon is extraordinarily powerful and will set the stage. Indeed this full moon eclipse is a double edged sword and can be the impetus of great change to the positive, if correctly understood and utilized accordingly. Or its intensity can rupture your auric field and set you in a downward spiral. It is up to you, depending on if you react in impatience and emotion or if you wisely utilize this resonance for creativity and inward cleanse.

As is the case of all crucibles, it will use intense heat to purify.

We tell you that the recent solstice and the impending Diamond Triad of the Grand Cross are among the most powerful energies felt on the planet for millennia, and many of your savant astrologers have recognized this....and so must the wise among humanity. Indeed the 5 planet configuration and associated angles represent an extremely rare and extraordinarily unique frequency that can offer a template of magnanimous change, yet within a resonance that can also be quite chaotic.

It is well during this time to carefully consider your actions. Be cautious in your demeanor, and take extra efforts to maintain the integrity of your auric field. Think before you speak, and do not allow untoward emotion; that of anger, envy, depression, guilt or doubt to invade your energy. It will be easy to mismanage both communications and emotions in this crucible, and the results could be quite detrimental to relationships and state of mind. Better to use this cutting energy to go inward, and review for hidden habits and obstacles that may yet lurk within. There is no better time to release these. And Dear Ones, almost all of you still have cleansings yet to perform. More often than not in duality, those that do not recognize the tarrying residues of negative traits are the ones most needful of the search, including those of you on the spiritual path. Spiritual ego can especially be cleansed, if dutifully examined, in this crucible.

You see, the obstacles that were easily seen, for most of you seekers, have been dealt with. What now remains are the residual ones your ego's have quietly swept under the carpet, and hidden in the darkness in deeply embedded boxes.

Utilize the interim phase between the eclipses then to decide who you truly are. What are you here to do, what will you do with the years of this sojourn you have remaining. You see Masters, the energy of the period you are entering, offers you the ability to enter a state of profound 'Beingness'. A state beyond the mind, an energy beyond that you term thought. And for many of you, Beingness is a state that you have not truly engaged; such is the control you have given the inner narrator. In a true sense the Diamond Triad offers those of you who can silence the mind, the opportunity to more easily enter the solemn vibration of still wisdom, of 'mindless' Beingness, and truly Masters, it is a state far higher in frequency that that of mindfulness. Does that confuse you? We tell you that there is an identity of your Divinity that is above the mind, and it is an aspect of your soul, and is far closer to your true Beingness. Indeed mind is simply a companion of your Beingness relative to the 3rd dimension, and we beckon you to explore this aspect more deeply in the following 4-5 weeks, for many doorways are opening. You are capable of investing your Beingness in a higher level of engagement during this time, and while this may surprise you, your mind invites this opportunity, in all its aspects of creativity, for it knows that there is a level above it that is quite necessary for your evolvement into higher dimension.

The Diamond Triad, the Grand Cross and Eclipses are the pathway to the 10-10-10 in this your year of 2010, use this time well, and you will make a quantum leap.

This coming summer- set to officially begin on monday june 21st at 4:30am PST- is definitely one for the books. The fast-approaching cardinal grand cross that is being formed by the social and transpersonal planets (jupiter, saturn, uranus and pluto) at the aries point degrees of 0 aries, libra and capricorn is something astrologers have been talking about for YEARS! i recall an astrologer friend telling me that when he was 18 back in the 60's and began studying astrology his peers - who were older women - looked at him and said 'oh you will be alive in 2010 when that grand cross happens!' This ain't no run of the mill astrology - what is in the works is huge.

I am due to move home at around the time of the Cardinal Grand Cross (end July), and although I am no astrologer it does feel significant to me that the ending of my old energy life and the beginning of my new life is happening at such a powerful time.

All of the latest Lauren Gorgo also felt very relevant to me, and I quote some of it here:

Physical Happenings

We are definitely still in between the new and old. On one hand you may continuing to wrap up past details (finances, legal matters, relocation, old business endeavors, relationships,etc), and on the other, your new life is coming more clearly into view...albeit one piece at a time...and patiently waiting for you to make the full transition. Kind of like you moved to a new house but you are still unpacking your boxes and have not quite settled into your new life, met your new neighbors, or figured out where the grocery store is. Flashes of new opportunities may be popping up on your new landscape and you may be feeling intense pressure to get a lot of things done (so much to do, so little time), however, we can't quite move fully forward with one foot still in the old world.

This will change soon and we will be supported to embark upon those journeys that we have dreamed about for years, but not until the integration is complete and we are completely cut loose from the past.

And the same energy of the eclipse period that is restructuring our outer life to match our inner being to become self-sustainable, is also happening on a biological level. As we cut each cord completely from our past, our biology shifts...or mutates...to align with our future. We are becoming self-contained energy pods capable of re-energizing ourselves from our core source of power.

There is also a lot of energy running down our antennas (spine) which is causing anxiety, restlessness, disconnection............................etc

The Pleiadians say that right now its very important to not keep this energy stuck or contained within the body...we do this by worrying or getting attached to the process. To ease the discomfort they say to visualize the energy running through you and into the earth continuously when you are downloading massive currents. And if it gets really unbearable, it will help to move your body so the energy can move on out and bring relief.

Overriding Stuck Energies

June has been a strange month for me so far, in that I have consciously been aware of myself resisting doing things including joy-related stuff, that I need to do as the energies have not felt terribly supportive. My mind has not felt supportive either and has been digging in its heels over some things, so yesterday (Sunday) I made a huge effort in trying to override some of these energy gridlocks. It reminded me of college days when I would leave it until the very last minute to complete an essay, feel stressed about it, yet feeling incapable of just getting stuck into it - finding anything, even housework, as a means of distraction and avoidance. I haven't felt like this for some time, and as one who prefers to choose the easy way rather than struggle, it felt like going against the grain when I had to "force myself" to make that appointment or just something simple like a phone call.

So knowing I had a Munich conference and Salzburg workshop coming up in a couple of weeks time I just knew I had to book my hotel rooms regardless of the current state of the energies, and ended up spending the whole day searching for a hotel on the internet as everything within a few miles radius of the event was either fully booked by now or not good value for money or seemed to be in the middle of nowhere. In fact it was hard to work out where exactly WAS a few miles radius of the conference as I had no street map to work from. Maps on the internet didn't help - either too lacking in detail or too small and unreadable. Maps in my local bookshop didn't help either - they were either covering the central zone only rather than the suburbs, or it was a motoring map of the country. And as I don't drive I needed to be able to walk to a train station rather than rely on taxis all the time or shuttle services to the nearest train station, yet maps didn't show how to get from the hotel to the conference by public transport anyway. There seemed to be nothing the equivalent of the London A to Z.

As my mind was continuing to freeze up in resistance and sheer boredom from this pointless exercise, and as I felt disillusioned by all the big bland chain hotels that I couldn't feel excited about staying in (assuming they were anywhere near where I needed to be, which I probably wouldn't know until I got there) I went from that to reading the customer reviews of any hotel or bed and breakfast in the whole of Munich. I was becoming less focused with my research, but at least my mind was a little more entertained and I was still on topic. Then I started reading up about day trips I could be doing from the city, and castles or medieval towns I would love to see. Part of me was still screaming at me to just sort out the bloody hotel booking or I would be going nowhere. Another part of me was saying (to that part) "just chill out - and in any case it is not 'your' job to be in charge of this. 'Your' job is to be able to fill in booking forms accurately and do the mundane mental stuff that I instruct you to do once I have decided what that will be. My whole consciousness does this stuff and 'you' don't have to be responsible - indeed how COULD you do this work when we have so little information to go on and it all feels like putting a pin on a map with a blindfold on. "

So I could feel my inner resistance and stress start to diminish from that moment on, and I just continued reading up on other things to see and do in the city. My enthusiasm for this trip started to return once again and I no longer had to do battle in overriding this inner resistance within me. Eventually I went back to looking at hotels again once I realised I wanted to stay in a smaller and more quirky one, and that actually the central zone was probably better for me than being out in the suburbs where there would be less to do and see. It slowly dawned on me that this was a combined holiday as well, and that to commute for just two days to the conference was preferable to having to commute out of the suburbs every day of my stay to have fun and sightseeing in the centre of town.

I had read up about different areas in the city while my research had been less focused and more generalised. My whole consciousness had also been noting all my likes and dislikes, or my preferences, along the way - about anything and everything. The other part of me that had been freaking out before was just quietly observing in the background, relieved that it didn't have to bother it's pretty head about it any more because it wasn't fun, and was just hanging around on standby in case I needed it.

Eventually, and without a map or a map-centred consciousness, I eventually booked a hotel that seems ideal. I only later noticed that the name of the district was the same as the one I had felt an attraction towards as sounding interesting when I was doing my reading earlier, yet this district had not been named as such on the hotel booking page, and I had no map of course. The hotel had its own website on which I found a clearer map of the local area, and was delighted to learn that it was an easy distance from the main station without being too near it. It was also an easy walk to the place where I would need to catch the tram or streetcar to the conference, with no requirement to catch trains as well. So location-wise it couldn't have been easier for travelling to the conference despite being in the city centre, plus I had all those sightseeing places, shops and cafes, gardens, museums and architecture around me to discover, not to mention more choice of nightlife on my doorstep for my non-conference days, should I be feeling sociable that is. The hotel rooms also have their own kitchenette, which makes it easy to prepare food if I don't want to keep eating out in restaurants. None of the other hotels had this. Plus to top it all off I got the room at a really good price, much cheaper than the average prices I was seeing elsewhere, yet it still had all the usual facilities that the other hotels were offering and more.

The other part of me was noticeably impressed. It had observed the results, and had also felt the energy of my enthusiasm return. It got its needs met, and the rest of me got mine. I'm sure we will make a great team. And so whenever I encounter that feeling of inner resistance again, I will know that I am delegating it to (or dumping it on) the wrong team member, also known as my mind/intellect/ego construct, and will not hesitate to relieve it of something it doesn't want to, or wasn't even designed to do. It makes my life go so much easier when I don't involve the left-brain analytical, logical side where it is not supposed to be. It only deals with facts and when I don't have enough facts to feed it with, it pouts and folds its arms and goes on hunger strike or panic attack. It wants to be relieved of having anything to do with my love life also. Which is why the term 'let you head rule your heart' is actually wrong when referring to the realm of relationships or matters of the heart.

As I didn't know where this post was going until I reached the end of it (the mind/ego is also ok about that, now that it knows it doesn't have to know the outcome in advance because that's not its job) I realise that there is some connection between what I have written in this post and the Bashar channel I posted a while back about Ego Negotiation. I suppose this example would be a prime example of negotiating with the ego and its needs. Whenever IT had felt distressed or blocked I had always assumed it was ALL of me that had been experiencing it. Yet it is just two different operating systems, and actually letting my greater consciousness take over, even when I don't really know what I'm doing from the mind's standpoint, is a wonderfully expansive way of embracing new potentials and experiences.

Now, I just have to find a way of getting the overdue housework done, because the ego is telling me that housework is also not it's job !
