I make no apologies for reprinting the articles from the Aquarius Papers - I find them quite amazing in their accuracy and I am not even a skeptic about the influences of ALL other entities within and without our universe and many truths are to be found.
I have worked 4 hours this morning and will be back up at La Era for several hours either tomorrow or when it suits Frank. Isabel told me today she would prefer not to have to come up every time someone stays so she is ensuring I know all the little ways
I have just noted that the village web site has been much updated check it out Casarabonela
The Mayor seems to be very popular with many of the ladies, sadly his Mama died last week, but a happy women at seeing her nino [I know there should be a squiggly thing above the n] re-elected for a 3rd term!!

Well I am going to curl up with my crochet for an hour or so before the shops open for the evening, think a long hot soak tonight to ease the back after all that bed making this morning :)

The Week of June 18-25, 2007 - A Crowded House with Mercury Retrograde, Sun opposed Pluto, Summer Solstice, Venus trine Jupiter, Mars trine Pluto entering Taurus, Uranus goes retrograde, and Saturn opposition Neptune

by Robert Wilkinson

This is going to be a very eventful week, even if things are more than a little weird because of Mercury retrograde, Uranus going stationary rx, and Saturn exactly opposition Neptune. We're still under the influence of the New Moon at 24 Gemini, accenting the Sun opposed Pluto, so get and stay clear, enjoy what you can while you re-create what you need to, and expect dramatic upheavals in the world thanks to Uranus' station, always indicating major sea changes in people and nations.

Especially with Sun opposed Pluto in major effect through June 21, use self-discipline to implement your insights. Find self-confidence even though things may feel like they're all over the map, with exhaustion in some areas, stimulation in others, and revolution in others. It's the end of old pressures freeing many for new tasks. The fact that the Sun and Mars both shift signs during this week indicates that wherever we have planets or houses affected by Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, or Scorpio will undergo a definite alteration in energy.

Mars' entry into Taurus shows we're beginning a time to solidify and stabilize the initiatives we started during the period of the Grand Fire Trines from March through mid-June. Please refer to the numerous articles I've posted the past 16 weeks to find out more about these new inspirations and promises now being activated. You can find out more about Uranus' current effect in this Spiritual Astrology for May-June 2007 Pt. 2 article, as well as Pt. 1 preceding it.

The recent New Moon in Gemini is helping us all to be productive, releasing powerful new forces reorienting our direction of expansion. It fell the day before Mercury went retrograde, so timing will seem to slow almost to a standstill at a threshold rather than a backward falling mirror image of things. This lunation will help us overcome what binds us or holds us back, and learn skills to achieve forward movement. Find opportunities to enjoy yourself, relax, and re-create whatever you feel needs it in your mind, view, interpretation, speech or attitude. Wherever this falls in your chart is going to be the focus this week.

The Summer Solstice happens at 11:07 am PDT on June 21, just after the Mars trine Pluto and before Uranus goes stationary RX. We will all feel a definitive shift of energies since this is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and therefore the Solar force is at its yearly peak. For readers in the Southern Hemisphere, it's the shortest day of the year and the beginning of their winter, so hang in there, since from now on your days will get longer as ours get shorter. I suppose for sun worshippers the "endless summer" is less a classic surfing movie as knowing when to move from north to south and vise-versa!

Once the Saturn opposition Neptune is past, it marks the end of a certain type of tension we've been living with off and on for two years. We'll experience the last major Fixed T-square involving these planets at the Blue Full Moon of the Eastern Hemisphere on July 29, 5:48 pm PDT, falling at 7 Aquarius-Leo. The T-square at that time will involve Mars in late Taurus squaring Saturn opposition Neptune. Expect radical new developments to stem from that lunation, where we will see what is permanent and what is springing forth from Cosmos Itself. After that, there will be no more Fixed T-square lunations until the Full Moon of November 2008.

Overcoming Bad Luck, Bad Karma, and Bad Life Circumstances

by Robert Wilkinson

Sometimes I hear from people who feel like they are victims of bad luck or bad karma, and are unhappy with some aspect of their life. Often they are in some form of difficulty and having a hard time with their life choices, and believe that by "putting it in God's hands" it hopefully will be better in the future. While surrendering to a "Higher Power" is always a good thing to do, it does not mean we don't have our own part in participating in bringing good karma out of bad, or better "luck" for ourselves in the future.

Our birth chart does show how to time our life choices correctly. All "bad luck," "bad Karma," or "bad yoga" are the results of prior causes we can and should correct in the moment we confront these. None of these things has the power that your Eternal Consciousness has, since they are impermanent forms. Stop giving power to these things. You can reverse all of these things easily by being conscious on a level beyond these things. But YOU must choose to make "good karma," "good yoga," "good luck." WE create all the "good luck" there is in Heaven and on Earth by taking responsibility to choose wise actions at critical moments.

We all have past karmas to fulfill, usually through people and circumstances. These teach us how to move out of unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions, as these behaviors create "bad luck" and "bad karma" in our future. We have the power to turn misfortune into beneficial and altruistic thoughts, words, feelings, and deeds if we so choose. By doing that we lessen our problems in the future, and create beneficial "karma" or "luck" by virtue of our heart's ability to attract that which is its perfect delight. In fact, we are doing or not doing this every moment we think, feel, and act.

Though there are times we are weak in Spirit and yield to the delusion that the source of our suffering is outside our ability to cure, ultimately it forces us to take responsibility for cultivating our Highest intention, regardless of outer circumstances. When we are weak, we tend to seek the cure in other things and people. There is nothing wrong with knowing we need a healer, but we must cooperate with the cure.

That is the secret to all rituals, mantras, all affirmations, all beneficial actions and results. It is true that many times a "ritual," "mantra," "affirmation," prayer or some form of "karma yoga" done on our behalf by another has a concrete beneficial effect and "good things happen to us." That is because we pick up on the vibration and choose to align with it, whether we know it or not, or how and why it works.

There are times a high being or several are allowed by their own higher Karma of Service to put out such a powerful Thoughtform, such as pujas and "demonstrations" (a la Florence Scovel Shinn) that it creates a temporary field in which we can move forward, consciously or unconsciously, so that each of us can become that which we seek. Still, while High Beings may create "Heaven's Luck" for us, it is only so we can willingly cooperate with our Highest Self, become strong, and learn to steer our lives in beneficial directions.

We are part of a group work, and external things show us our connectedness within a greater process. When we are strong, we offer cures to other things and people, and willingly accept the cures offered to us, since we are part of a larger Ray group Soul.

Even to believe that someone calling for a "demonstration" on your behalf has more power to do that than YOU is somewhat of an illusion. You and that which heals you are ONE. All good things in our life serve to help us grow out of giving our power to external things to hinder us. When we are aligned with our Higher Self, we have the power to send out vibrations that attract whatever is beneficial to our highest intention and evolution.

Spirit, God or something "higher up in the universe" might look after us and guide our footsteps in our life's path, as those are eternally the field in which we live and breathe and have our Being. Still, from one angle of vision, the God or Spirit that guides us is not separate from our Highest Self, our Atma-Buddhi-Manas operating at a subtle but very high plane of consciousness from which all our forms, feelings, and ideas result. Our Highest Self is not separate from our Father-Mother God in Heaven that is ONE. You ARE the God you seek.

There is no power but God. Repeat this: THERE IS NO POWER THAN GOD. No thing has power. Only God has power. Thou art That. Open to the Way, and God will show you, since YOU have the power to know God. The healer, the healing, and the healed are ONE. We may be human, but we are simultaneously and indivisibly Eternal Consciousness, a spark of Divine Mind that is Omnipresent, Omniscient, and Omnipotent. We have more power, wisdom, love, and intelligence than we think.
