“You Want a Teacher? Try Sitting by a Waterfall…”

Credit: wallpaperstuff.blogspot.com

By Wes Annac, Culture of Awareness

Lately, all I want to do is get out to nature. I can’t really describe the feeling that washes over you when you’re out there and you’re connected with the grass, bushes, flowers, tress, birds, insect life, etc. It’s a feeling of universal connectivity and oneness that can help you understand your place in the big picture, and for me at least, it provides an abundance of creative inspiration.

Nature gives us a feel for what it’s like to be connected with the earth on a deeper level, and depending on how often we go out there (and how quiet, in mind and spirit, we can be while we’re there), it can connect us with our higher consciousness in a more authentic way than meditating indoors.

Some spiritual seekers want to leave this third-dimensional world behind, and to them, the true treasure lies in their higher consciousness. They don’t think nature’s any more sacred than anything else that constitutes earthly reality, and they’re only interested in evolving away from this world and discovering what else is out there (or rather, within). I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this, and we have to embrace the things that mean the most to us.

If nature doesn’t help you on a soul level, then by all means, do what does help you.

Personally, it’s an intrinsic part of my spirituality. I think connecting with it is one of many ways we can connect with All That Is, and this world, as illusory and incomparable to a higher consciousness as it is, holds more spiritual treasure than we realize. The treasure is found primarily in nature, and this becomes apparent when we can get out there and meditate.

I appreciate the stance that the late great Terence McKenna took about nature, which is that it’s our best spiritual teacher. He advocated the use of natural entheogens, such as cannabis, psilocybin mushrooms (i.e. magic mushrooms) and DMT (which is usually brewed into the Ayahuasca potion) for the expansion of consciousness, and to him, these natural substances were/are the greatest teachers that give us access to something nobody on earth can fathom.

I’ve always enjoyed these famous words of his, which I’ll loosely quote:

“You want a teacher? Try eating a mushroom or sitting by a waterfall”.

I agree that we can learn a lot by getting out to nature and finding some wonderful place like a waterfall to sit, meditate and connect with our higher consciousness. I’ve never tried mushrooms, DMT or the vast majority of other natural psychedelics (I think cannabis is a beneficial spiritual herb if used for the right purpose, and I’m pretty passionate about it), but I totally agree that nature has given us these things to teach us more about the realities beyond.

McKenna even went as far as to say that none of our living spiritual teachers know much about the actual higher state of consciousness that things like mushrooms or DMT help us access. I think we should give spiritual teachers a little more credit, because they really can help us connect with the enlightened Self, but I also think we should give nature more credit.

I’m sure plenty of spiritual teachers encourage us to get out to nature and meditate in a quiet spot, but McKenna felt that we give too much praise to spiritual teachers, incarnate or not, and not enough attention to the natural teachers the earth has placed here for us. Again, it comes back to doing what works for you. If spiritual teachers help you, then you should definitely let them guide you. If not, maybe look to nature to see if you can learn a thing or two.

My point is that perhaps we should embrace our reality and the realms beyond our comprehension, because this world is just as much a part of creation as any higher state of consciousness.

Not to mention that the earth does everything for us. It feeds us, provides us with materials to build homes (and entire cities and societies), and if you believe in the spiritual potential of natural psychedelics, you could even say it’s our greatest spiritual teacher. For this and plenty of other reasons, I don’t think I can stay away from nature anymore.

Even when it’s unbearably hot outside, I want to get out and connect with the natural world. I want to let it, along with my own inner tools (like meditation), teach me more about this existence and the higher realms, and I no longer want to resist the lessons that nature or life in general have for me.

I’m itching to get outside, write a lot, meditate, and strengthen my connection with the earth.

The time has come to take the next step in our individual/collective evolution, and for me, retreating out to nature on a regular basis will be a big part of it. I intend to learn a lot about this world and the realms beyond, and connecting with the natural world in all its divine awesomeness seems like the best way to do it.

Triple Water Astrology – The Critical Degree! Weekly Horoscope – Week Starting Friday, July 31, 2015

Galactic Free Press's picture

Please like my page at http://www.facebook.com/triplewaterastrology!

This week has potential as a fortunate week for all of the signs. Four planets form a stellium in the Sun’s home sign, Leo, all week long, including Sun, Venus, and Jupiter! (Mercury rounds out the stellium.) Mars trines Saturn in water signs, connecting the two traditionally malefic planets. Mars in Cancer trining Saturn in Scorpio actually forms a trio at the end of the week, with both planets aspecting the mighty Vulcanus (Transneptunian). A great deal of force and control is behind ambition by the end of the week, a superb combination with the Leo stellium for those on earth, who recognize and seize the opportunities from the heavens.

Indeed, with so many planets in late degrees this week, opportunities to benefit from the persistence and stability of Admetos (Transneptunian) and the good fortune and multiplication effect of Apollon (Transneptunian) abound. All three of the outer titans beyond Saturn (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) are retrograde and either in home sign (Neptune) or in mutual reception (Uranus-Pluto). The outer trio gives the sense of a chance to retreat or consider what the “big picture” has in store over the longer term. For now, the Leo stellium is stealing the show.

What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

Aries

Half of the planets in fiery signs (and at times, six, with Moon in your Sun’s sign for several days this week) is favorable for Aries Sun. Growing stronger through competition and taking assertive action this week works especially well for Aries, with strongest days from August 3 to 5. Structure and authority is influential this week for you as well, but has a sense of going with the flow. Creativity within parameters has potential to be very productive this week. Random shocks might feel more disconcerting than authority this week, but also suggests a chance to “think outside of the box” and adjust in an innovative manner in disruptive situations. Perhaps most importantly, August 5 and 6 are days of using power, force, strength, and controls to push your interests forward and relentlessly move closer towards various goals you might have. Final thought for Aries: Mentoring or coaching has potential for Aries this week.

Taurus

The Leo stellium is squaring your Sun by sign, but that doesn’t necessarily suggest an uphill week for Taurus Sun. Responding to structure and authority is a renewed, intense theme for Taurus and the uplifting Leo stellium can be a plus in determining how to benefit from demands from those in command. For example, a strong theme for Taurus this week is the “controlled expansion” theme. Focusing on Jupiter’s encouragement of personal growth makes using structure a convenient way to do so, although it will definitely demand effort. Multiplying your work, increasing your influence, and learning are helpful themes from July 31 to August 4. Use of the mind is also a strong theme for Taurus this week, strongest by the end of the week. Logic and reasoning receive a boost via flashes of insight and bursts of intuition in order to solve problems. Final thought for Taurus: you might feel more reliance on other people than average this week; making sure the “playing field” is even might be wise.

Gemini

This is an interesting week for Gemini Sun. The week might feel like building up to a crescendo. The fiery week in the transits is not a bad fit for your airy Sun, particularly with your natural talents for gathering and using information, and learning, “ramped up”. Flashes of insight, spontaneity, and innovative ideas tend to flow well all week, with a peak day on August 2. Authority might start to feel heavy by the end of the week, but you also have access to the “controlled expansion” theme in the transits. Efforts to work within structure tend to bring success. August 6 is a potentially fantastic day for Gemini. Besides the direct access to ease and abundance, the day represents opportunities to be influential, build and share your knowledge, and expand and multiply what you give attention to. A potentially productive week for Gemini and watch for that August 6 date! Final thought for Gemini: in unlikely situations that occur nonetheless, watch for someone unlike yourself for assistance or for an interesting alternate perspective.

Cancer

An unstable beginning of the week ends in a rather stable manner for Cancer Sun. Uranus’ shocks and surprises are of influence for Cancer this week. While the unpredictability can be an annoyance, the opportunity to be spontaneous, express your unique self, and be brilliant compensates for the inconveniences. (This theme is strongest on July 31 and August 4.) Cancer’s watery Sun is very much in the fiery thick of the week. Water dominates fire, and gives the sense that “the world is your oyster” this week. Action and adventure, creativity, and self-expression are fun themes for Cancer, borrowed from the sign after yours, Leo. August 6 is a more productive and stable day of the week, in contrast to the rest of the week. The last day of the week is opportune for considering your perspectives of various issues and enjoying close relationships. Final thought for Cancer: if an unexpected situation causes disruptions, what strategy might you quickly implement to deal with it?

Leo

As the powerful core of the solar system marches predictably towards the middle of your Sun’s sign this week, Leo Sun has the opportunity to shine. August 1 is a day of dealing with high authority, or showing it. What might your specialty be? Leo has potential for showing leadership and authority on August 1, particularly in your area of expertise. This fiery week suits Leo quite well! Activity and passion characterize the week. Also of note, August 1 to 5 are days of “powerful inspiration” for Leo. Envisioning how you want to transform yourself or various situations can be a productive exercise during the middle of the week. Close relationships become more influential for you from August 4 to 6. Showing passionate commitment (to a cause, for example), and using creativity in discerning perceptions of various issues or events, works well for Leo throughout the week. Final thought for Leo: using organization can be beneficial this week – or finding another method to prevent misallocation of resources.

Virgo

A four-planet stellium in the sign preceding your Sun’s has its opportunities. “Inspired service to others”, “energetic analysis”, and “activity focused on details” are just a few ways for Virgo Sun to use the fiery energies in the transits productively this week. The week has its variances and tendencies towards ups and downs, but it’s also potentially quite interesting. August 3, for example, is a day for enjoying marriage, togetherness, and contributing to group efforts. Responding to authority, at work, for example, can be tough this week, but it also has its benefits. Considering how to implement the help of others and what will encourage expansion, rather than stagnation, helps Virgo push forward through difficult situations this week. August 6 is a key date for Virgo. Of great interest, the week can culminate in either a sense of optimism and enjoyment based on your efforts, or a sense of stability and consolidation. Or perhaps with all of the fire in the transits, you can find a creative way to obtain both. Final thought for Virgo: is your enemy your best teacher? Look to those who are not necessarily on your side to help find the source of a difficulty.

Libra

Libra Sun has a generally uplifting week. The emphasis with Sun and three other planets in Leo is on the self, however, that serves as a good reminder that one’s own self is an important half of any relationship. An emphasis on fire in the transits this week is also not a bad fit for Libra. Enjoy the activity and busy interaction between yourself and other people, perhaps with a flair of competition in the mix. Your airy Sun also has a week of exercising the mind, if you so choose, and this theme is strongest at the end of the week. Even with the good vibes and penchant towards expansion touching your Sun this week, Libra has the opportunity to consider how to use the “mighty force and ambition” theme in the transits this week. Also watch for some potential tension, but also potential progress, in relationships on August 3 and 4. Final thought for Libra: how to shift gears, or change course in mid-stream, is relevant for Libra this week.

Scorpio

So many planets in the sign squaring yours! Yet, Scorpio Sun perhaps has the greatest opportunity to benefit from the “luck” in the transits this week. Benefits and advantages can be attained, but they tend away from excesses. The vibe this week for Scorpio is one of giving effort, but also to expect commensurate rewards. Another vibe for Scorpio involves the “retreat” type theme, symbolized by your Sun’s ruler, Pluto, retrograding along with Uranus and Neptune. August 5 is probably the most productive day of the week for Scorpio, and close relationships tend to flow well all week. Watch for August 6 as strong, stable, and harmonious for close relationships. Final thought for Scorpio: assessing risk is important for Scorpio this week, especially in terms of choosing sides.

Sagittarius

Relationships return to the forefront for Sagittarius Sun this week. Your ruling planet hits the anaretic degree of Leo by the end of the week, suggesting edginess and anticipation in addition to the varying activity in the transits affecting Sagittarius. The week nonetheless has a sense of fun and adventure for Sagittarius, with many of the planets in the fiery signs. The active and energetic influence is kept in check somewhat by several sources, including Saturn. Competition or action taken under the umbrella of structure (competitive sports would be a good example, as would many other concepts involving work or doing business) tends to be very productive this week. Hence, Sagittarius Sun can make use of the “controlled expansion” theme. Watch for the second half of the week to use persistence and pertinacious focus in order to expand your influence, increase your popularity, and heighten productivity, particularly through use of knowledge. Final thought for Sagittarius: no additional thoughts for Sagittarius this week.

Capricorn

Your Sun’s ruler, Saturn, is retrograde, in addition to Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto retrograde. While Capricorn Sun is in the midst of the “mighty force and driven ambition” theme at the end of the week, you might also enjoy reflecting and stepping back to see the big picture. Relationships are more work-oriented this week. Difficult work can have its rewards this week, particularly in areas such as problem-solving and networking, again more oriented towards career. Your earthy Sun makes an odd angle by sign to the planets in Leo this week. “Digging deep” and creating methods to use the expressive, creative, and romantic qualities of the Leo sign can be a productive way to incorporate the fiery energies in the transits into your week.Final thought for Capricorn: Listening is important for you this week, especially listening to the inner voice/self.

Aquarius

This can be a week of accomplishment for Aquarius Sun, and this theme builds up until the end of the week. Use of thought and logic is also important this week and flows well for Aquarius, with a peak day on August 2. Four planets opposite your Sun’s sign, with both of the benefics, certainly suggest a theme of “ease and abundance” for you this week, but you also have Mercury’s communicative qualities and the powerful Sun’s consciousness at your disposal. Aquarius, well-attuned to groups of people, has the opportunity to shine alone this week. How might you spontaneously (or otherwise) express your unique qualities? Definitely, teamwork, in leisure or work, is also something to consider. Expressing your best qualities as part of a unit makes it stronger and more competitive. The tendency in the transits towards action and adventure fits your inquisitive and innovative mind well. Final thought for Aquarius: seeking a nurturing guide in times of need can be of benefit this week.

Pisces

A long-running theme of authority, based on your expertise, is still in effect for Pisces Sun this week. Showing leadership and adhering to regulations is more prominent this week for you. Close relationships also affect Pisces more than average. A sense of being outside of the activity of this week is also present, and naturally, Pisces (associated with Neptune and the mundane twelfth house) can embrace the ‘retreat’ type theme this week, whether for only a few minutes a day or through August 6. While most of us cannot spend a full week in a retreat, reflecting on the big picture and stepping back can be a particularly effective exercise for Pisces. Neptune is in your Sun’s sign; this gives your consciousness direct access to bliss. Even Saturn’s retrograde into Scorpio is suggesting a retreat (using behind the scenes structure to incorporate spirituality into one’s life). Expressiveness, creativity, and romance certainly are potentially useful themes for Pisces this week. Of great interest, can you think of ways to use these Leo type qualities to meet a greater collective? Final thought for Pisces: Don’t be surprised if you’re the “go-to” person for help this week, especially in your area of expertise.

Caroline Oceana Ryan ~A Message to Lightworkers – July 29, 2015





The latest guidance for Lightworkers, from our friends, the fifth and sixth dimensional beings known as the Collective:


Greetings, friends! We are glad to have the opportunity to speak with you once again.

We see many great changes occurring!

And though you have heard us say this before, in our descriptions of what your blessed planet is experiencing, we put special emphasis on both “great” and “changes” this time.

You will have heard of the solar rays being emitted now, called gamma rays, which carry special energies that are uniquely structured to aid in the liberation and enlightenment of all creatures upon the Earth.


They are also aiding your Ascension in ways you have not even begun to guess.

For one, you will notice, in this continuous upward movement into fifth dimensional reality, that time is no longer what it was.

The day slips by quickly and quietly, as if the hours were only 20 minutes or so long, while you are at times perhaps, barely conscious of time passing.

Beyond that, you are all increasingly realizing that time does not actually exist in the ways that you have been taught.
It does not consist of minutes, seconds, hours, and days. It cannot be marked.

It merely is, and the “is” is all you need—the present moment is the only moment.

And much can occur in that moment that you once would have allocated to many days’ work, or several times and places, occurring in a horizontal line upon a flat plane—an idea that is a third dimensional construct.

Increasingly, you are sensing other dimensions and communing with them, and those dimensions do not live in time as you learned to do in the third dimension.

You are increasingly becoming used to operating outside of time, in the sense that you are no longer constricted or directed by it.

Your days meld into one another easily—Was that last week that I spoke with my friend, you may wonder, or was it yesterday?

Understand that you are not growing “dim” of thought and reason—quite the opposite.

You are recapturing that higher reasoning and understanding that you left when you came to the Earth plane, or rather, when one slim portion of your higher consciousness took on the veil of third dimensional living.

That veil is quickly dissolving, and as you have noticed, much truth is being revealed as a result.

Some of that truth is outer, and will involve the arrest and indictment of numerous once-powerful criminals all around the planet.

But the greatest shifts are occurring within, and your own cellular realignment and reconstruction are witness to that.

You will increasingly notice now that your tastes are changing.

Some foods will no longer appeal to you. Some people will seem to resonate on a level that feels foreign to you.

Much that you see on television and film, which is still for the most part following the old order, will feel bizarre and uncomfortable to you.

You may feel the need to move to a new town and/or a new home, find another job, or find a new relationship.

Understand that none of this is bad, and that none of this indicative of loss on your part.

There can be a letting go, without the feeling that you have done something wrong, or ceased to fit in with those you once knew and cared for, or ceased to be of positive use in the roles you have long played.

Understand that there is a sort of splitting occurring now, between New and old Earth.

As part of New Earth, your Light will increasingly direct you to do that which is heart-based, following that wisdom that comes from the higher mind, channeled through the third eye and crown chakra.

There is no right or wrong on that level; there is only learning, and forward movement.

You will need to “take yourself off the hook” as they say, many days, when you feel that the new is pulling you in directions you could never have foreseen, and some of those directions take you from what you have formerly known and loved.

Allow this beautiful process, as you would step back and watch in wonder as the butterfly emerges from his or her cocoon.

Allow it, without stopping it, anymore than you would order the wind to stop blowing or the stream to stop flowing.

Allow it as you would allow a child to dance joyfully in the rain—and why? Because you are that child, dear ones.

Because now is your time to dance, even amidst the shock of painful news reports, of economic shifts and changes, of personal changes that leave you exhausted some days and dizzy and confused other days.

Understand that this glorious changeover into Divine government has already begun, and not only within Earth’s outer systems.

It has begun in every cell of your increasingly Light-based, crystalline-forming self.

We invite you to bask in the Light of the Blue Moon, coming up on Friday, July 31st.

This is an important moment, for that Blue Moon is part of the August 8, 2015 (8-8-8) Gateway that is ushering in energies that will greatly accelerate both outer changes upon the Earth and the Ascension journeys of all those who live upon Her.

Take in that beautiful Light, and understand that it is doing more than presenting a lovely image and an inspiring astrological turn.

It is beckoning you to consider yourself a Galactic citizen, a person of influence, one might say, on the cosmic scale.

It is encouraging you, with its brilliance, to see yourself as moving into a place no other Earthly citizens have stood in.

And you are here to enjoy every moment, even as the shifts and evolvements rattle you some days, and confuse or exhaust you on others.

Remember! Remember who you are, on a soul level.

Knock daily on that door, and say to your guides and Angelic guardians, “Yes – I am ready to remember who I am. Tell me my mission, and my true identity. Let the last of the veil be dissolved! For behold—all things are made new. I am of the Light, now and always.”

And so it is, dear ones! From the Light you came, and now, quite conscious and awake, to the Light you return.

Namaste! You are never alone.

5 People Changing the World As We Know It

Changing the WorldPhillip J. Watt, Contributor
Waking Times
Thanks to bamboo-water

There are important changes happening on so many levels in our society. Collectively we are waking up, driven by the deep lack of satisfaction that we have for the way our social systems are designed and the destructive impacts that they’ve had both on humanity and the environment. Inspiringly, these changes are being led by many people who have devoted their lives to the cause.

First, we need a philosophical shift, because individualistic behaviors which are driven by materialistic and consumerist ideologies have rotted out our values in terms of how we treat each other, as well as our natural systems. The metaphysics of materialism, whichdogmatically plagues modern day science, is the core of this problem.

What we truly require is to collectively move into a philosophy that respects all life on earth with a unified perception of reality, something that spiritual traditions have expressed for eons and an idea that the scientific fields of quantum physics and parapsychology are ‘rationally’ proving in our modern era. Without this deep shift in thinking, changing human activity to better care for Mother Nature, and each other, won’t occur naturally. Think about it this way: if we don’t view the world outside of us, as us, then it’s hard to imagine why we would have the same respect for it as we should ourselves.

There’s been some amazing progress made by humanity; however the dysfunctional outcomes of our social systems are now abundantly clear. For a quick introduction to these issues, have a read of 11 Toxic Realities Society is Finally Waking Up About. These toxic states of human activity are thankfully being exposed by many leaders who understand the need to change the way we think and live. The results are nothing but impressive too, especially because individuals are being shocked out of their slumber at an ever-increasing rate.

The following five people, therefore, deserve to be household names, as they are contributing important energy to the shift that we are going through on a global scale:

1. Helena Norberg-Hodge

Helena starred in and was the producer and co-director of the award winning documentary ‘The Economics of Happiness’. She is the founder and director of ‘Local Futures’ (formerly the International Society for Ecology and Culture’ projects).

Helena works tirelessly to awaken society to the adverse impacts that arise from global power and economic structures through engaging in lectures, film screenings, workshops and international conferences, as well as writing for various publications. She also focuses on the shift we require in the way that we organize our communities so that we transcend the socioeconomic disadvantage, ill-health and social isolation that is increasing on a global scale.

2. Steve Keen

Steve is a ground-breaking economist at Kingston University in London. He has developed a revolutionary model on how tomanage our economy, called Debt Deflation, which includes a government controlled central banking system, something likeHungary has implemented and Iceland will be following soon. Steve and some of his colleagues support ‘quantitative easing for the people’, instead of for the banks, which is also called a modern debt jubilee (yes that means injecting money into everybody’s bank account). This strategy will decrease the massive private debt bubble that he has illustrated as one of the causes for the 2008 Global Financial crisis.

He believes that the fraudulent behaviors of bankers and financial institutions, which set up the toxic conditions before the GFC of 2008, needs to be dealt with by the full extent of the law, likeIceland have already led the charge in. In addition, given the current fragility of the world’s interdependent economic system, we need to prepare with strategies that will mitigate the impact of the next collapse, which unfortunately the real data indicate is not far from being realized. The fact remains that there are alternative solutions to the mess that a corrupt financial system, austerity and crony capitalism has caused for the world’s people.

3. Rupert Sheldrake

Rupert is a British scientist who has worked in developmental biology and consciousness studies. He is an active researcher, author and public speaker and has been a leading voice in pointing out the dogmas that are restricting contemporary science. His latest bookScience Set Free (US version) or The Science Delusion (UK version) shows how the sciences could be liberated from the dogmas of materialism, and regenerated.

He has shown with class and leadership why science has become an ‘institution’ instead of a free-to-explore discipline. That’s because the spirit of enquiry has been prioritized first with corporate and financial interests. It’s also a human enterprise, so it is subject to politics, jealousy, corruption and bias. Yet most importantly, as already mentioned this bias has hardened into a materialist dogma that has hijacked the philosophical interpretation of evidence that is emerging from the mind-altering disciplines of quantum physics and parapsychology. This is what Rupert is committed to exposing so that humanity’s worldview can evolve with the true state of scientific endeavor, one in which ‘consciousness’ and ‘interconnectedness’ become integral to our collective understanding of reality.

4. Geoff Lawton

Geoff is a leading expert in the growing field of Permaculture. Since the mid-nineties he has specialized in all things permaculture, including the education, design, implementation, system establishment, administration and community development of it across the world. Geoff is a true leader in building a sustainable and healthy future for humanity.

Permaculture transcends many of the problems that we are faced with today. It is a design science based in ethics, and aims to provide most of the resources that we need, including food, medicine, fiber and fuel. Geoff has proven that this system is applicable in any climate and region on earth, so an abundance of materials can be provided no matter where we live. It isn’t just a system for individuals either; it can be used in a community setting to provide true wealth for the people and reintegrate communities at the local level.

5. Dean Radin

Dean is the Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences and leading researcher into parapsychology. For around three decades he has developed and implemented robust scientific models for experimenting with and capturing data of a range of psychic experiences. He has written some highly successful books, including The Conscious Universe, Entangled Minds andSupernormal, among others.

He is one of the growing number of scientists who have not fallen victim to the materialist rhetoric. For example, in 2014 he was part of “A call for an open, informed study of all aspects of consciousness” which was made by around 100 scientists. In addition, in the same year his colleagues created a “Manifesto for a Post-Materialist Science … to visualize what an emerging scientific view may look like”, which was developed by eight respected scientists, including Rupert Sheldrake. Simply, both groups have called upon the scientific community to face their hypocrisy and transcend their philosophical bias.

Final Thoughts

All of these experts are guests in the ‘Redesigning Society’ series, which you can view onThe Conscious Society YouTube Channel. There are many more to come too. Each interview contains knowledge that desperately needs to be integrated into the mainstream mindset and are important pieces of the puzzle for the philosophical and social changes that we’re evolving towards.

The following video contains a quick overview of the project, as well as an introduction to the information that the series has explored so far:

Where do you fit in the new scheme of things? The 2015 Aquarius Full Moon delivers a status report on what all the recent changes mean for you and your pack — and motivates you to express your boldest self, no holding back.

As with any Full Moon, this event brings a culmination of feelings and developments that have been in process. This summer we’ve started to see possibilities and benefits opening up in the aftermath of three years of structures collapsing around and under us. Much of the new regime is still up in the air — not quite taking shape, not yet delivering substance we can rely on, not yet landing on the ground.

Some may hit a construction milestone under this Aquarius Full Moon. Whether your outer circumstances change much at all, though, your inner journey promises to be a wild one. It’s releasing hooks, both known and unsuspected, and prompting, yea even daring you to act on your feelings, act on your dreams and do something to pull sone of those possibilities into being.

The Aquarius Full Moon is jacking up the radical, rebellious, individuating end of the recent cosmic change imperative and making it highly, uniquely personal. Aquarius may in theory be a detached and intellectual placement for a Moon, but the table tilts coming under this particular one have the capacity for derring-do, passion, steaminess and, possibly, pissiness.

This comes from a round robin of rulerships that pulls two planets into this Aquarius Full Moon. The Moon is in Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, agent of unforeseeable, perspective-tilting change. Uranus is in impulsive, free-agent Aries, which is ruled by Mars, the planet of push. And Mars is in sensitive, emotional, prone-to-take-things-personally Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon. They’re connected like a Moebius strip, each leading inextricably to the other.

The linking makes for visceral, forceful, startling and unpremeditated action. Well, unpremeditated at that particular instance, maybe. Odds are great the notion will have been stewing and stewing for some time.

Friends, organizations and wishes figure prominently in many of the areas of focus, as well as the triggering events. You’re discovering how you really feel about some of them, and then acting on that awareness.

In some cases this means separating from a friend or a group or, more likely, embracing the realization that you have already separated. (You’re in the first wave of processing data coming off retrograde Venus squaring Saturn in Scorpio, which is smoking out secrets, missing pieces and rectified balance sheets from all manner of past or longtime connections.) In other cases it means a sudden leap into the future — recognizing a shiny brass ring and grabbing it, spying an opening and diving through it, seeing a Bat signal in the sky and showing up with cape billowing.

The deciding factor is your unique path. If a situation does not dovetail with that, breaking away is easy now. (Perhaps effortless, even necessary; situations might simply snap apart). (No pity parties, please.) Friends, groups and dreams that are in alignment will not only feel more right, but also trigger — and deliver — epiphanies and developments that inspire, catalyze and propel.

You’re blasting off. Yes, you’ve done this before, this summer even. Every blast allows you to move more freely. This one is injected with triple-action fuel (like the sprays and powders with alleged supernatural powers). It facilitates processing all that has happened lately, pulls emotions out from logic and delivers a catalyst customized to you. Let it rip. It’s taking you ever further into yourself.
