Cardinal Climax: Take 2 - August 2010 and Beyond

"You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star."

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, German Author (1844-1900)

"There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent."

Michel de Montaigne, Author and Statesman (1533 - 1592)

"Dance today is clearly in an unsettled state....A time of change presents a confused picture. That there is change is proof that dance is organically vital--and much more so than it has ever before been in this country."

Margaret H’Doubler, Master Dance Instructor (1889-1982)

In this age of great uncertainty and shift, the movement of the human spirit to new ground and higher frequency requires conscious action, surrender at times, and discernment. Yet, this trying time can also make the brain/mind quite active as it seeks a strategy of either survival, security or risk. How to still the mind? Spiritual practices, bodywork therapies and creative arts hold the answer. In this latter realm, revisit this wonderful video demonstrating how a simple dance can prove uplifting and unifying. In this space of joy it's easy for your inner spirit to lead the way.

Aquarius Full Moon - Seeding a New Planetary Vision

"Whenever you become empowered, you will be tested."
Caroline Myss, Author, Mystic and Medical Intuitive

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

Gandalf, Fellowship of the Ring - J.R.R. Tolkien, Author (1892-1973)

"Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool, or you go out in the ocean."
Christopher Reeve, Actor (1952-2004)

New Horizons by Joseph Mina

Aquarius Full Moon arrives on Sunday, July 25th at 3:36 PM in Hawaii, 6:36 pm on the West Coast. Meanwhile, Europe east to the International Date Line witnesses the Full Moon on the 26th. 

The 25th is  the Mayan Calendar "Day Out of Time"; a day of contemplation, forgiveness and celebration of artistic freedom and creativity. Artists...start up your brushes! The 26th corresponds with the Mayan New Year and rising of the brilliant star Sirius - a wonderful time to tune into higher Galactic frequencies.

The Full Moon positions at 3 Degrees Aquarius. This places the Moon vibration in the same degree realm as the potent planetary members grouping now in early degree Cardinal signs, better known as the "Cardinal Climax". We view this timing as a potential seeding point, strongly infusing Aquarius intentions and influences into this dynamic, once-in-a-lifetime Cardinal mix. Sort of like "priming the pump" (as if it needed any more energy!).

What's being infused? The Aquarius archetype embraces the widest possible perspective, the future, technology, social groups and humanitarian, philanthropic pursuits. Hence, this higher vibration aspires to make the world a healthier place for everyone through altruistic and philanthropic means

Solstice 2010: The Cardinal Climax

"If we don't change direction soon, we'll end up where we're going." 

"Professor" Irwin Corey, American Vaudeville comic and actor

"We fear only what we haven't understood." Byron Katie, Spiritual Author

"We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing." R.D. Laing, Psychiatrist

Solstice 2010 and the 2010 Turning Point

The Solstice arrives on June 21, 2010 as the Sun enters the Cardinal sign of Cancer. In Hawaii, Solstice is at 1:28 am; 4:28 am on the Pacific Coast; 11:28 am Greenwich Mean Time (GMT); and 8:28 pm in Japan.

In the northern hemisphere, the June solstice is the longest day of the year, marking the first day of Summer. This rich, abundant season expresses the ripeness and fullness of life. Let your light shine! In the "as above, so below" mysteries, this maximum expression of solar radiance may be seen as a symbol for celebrating your external physical creations here on Earth.

At the Solstice this year, astrological patterns line up near the early degrees of all the Cardinal Signs. These zodiac signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are the initiators for each season of the year. They are the 4 cornerstones, or foundational points of life. Aries focuses on creativity and new initiatives; Cancer feeds the realm of community/family; Libra frames our relationships; and Capricorn establishes our rules, organization and structures of life. 

This day serves as the sounding bell for the unfolding of events over the next four years. Its dominant Cardinal sign energy reminds us to create something new. The energetic ethers are super ripe now with inspiration and new insights. Some Astrologers refer to this energy the "Cardinal Climax", or as we say the "2010 Turning Point" - a symbolic arrival at the "crossroads" in our personal lives, and as a collective for humanity.
