“I Seek My Self Through What I Have” Symbolized by the Bull, Taurus is the second sign of the Zodiac. “The Penetrating Light of the Path,” Taurus seeks to establish a deeper meaning and value in life through lessons of non-attachment. Connected to the principle of Illumination and the Archetype of the Artist, its task is to cast light upon the physical world with beauty and harmony through form. In doing so, it raises the energetic vibration of the physical plane freeing itself from the nature of desire to attachment. Its challenge is not to become trapped by the very same physical plane from which it seeks to transform. The initial stage of Taurus is an instinctive attachment to the material realm. Motivated by practical outcomes it gives greater significance to literal mind action than intuitive inspiration. Willfully seeking the desires of earthly pleasures its pursuits to have more of everything directs “blind will” thus determining personal value(s) i...

“The soul is the Middle Way as it stands between and mediates the primary polarity of life: Spirit and matter. The Soul therefore acts as an intermediary between the Essence of Life and its various forms of manifestations. Thus Soul provides the necessary channels through which consciousness may exteriorize and we may come to know ourselves. The grace of this knowing is that in the process, each of us comes to identify ourselves eventually as Divinity in manifestation. We learn this through the frequently painful process of transformation. We thus grow and develop until we finally realize that the quality of our consciousness, of our Soul, is Love.” –A.Q. Pisces Two fish connected by a cord facing opposite directions symbolizes the sign of Pisces.   Both of these representations signify the duality of the separation of the soul and the personality. The cord connecting the two fish is the Middle Way that allows Unity to...

Aquarius A man in a kneeling position resting an urn of water over his shoulder, it’s contents pouring in front and underneath him symbolizes the archetype of Aquarius. Having perfected his understanding of the oneness of Mankind, the Water Bearer distributes from its urn the waters of consciousness.   Right Human Relations is the theme of this sign.

Capricorn Whether or not we are born under the sign of Capricorn we all have an aspect of this archetypal energy in our birth charts. So let’s take a deeper look into the symbolism of this archetype as it pertains to all of us. A mountain goat precariously perched and sure footed upon a rock of his chosen peak symbolizes the sign of Capricorn. In search of material sustenance each calculated step takes him closer to his goal of consuming the succulent vegetation that he craves. A journey is not possible without ambition, discipline and hard work, all which are attributes assigned to Capricorn. The initial “work” accomplished through Capricorn is earthbound in orientation and encased by structure. Career, money, resources, lofty goals are all part of the early stages of this phase of evolution in life. Like the mountain goat that seeks to satisfy it’s own insatiable hunger, we work to attain success and security through physical form. Attached to the form of physical exis...

Saturn in Scorpio On October 5 transiting Saturn moved into the sign of Scorpio where it will remain for approximately for the next 2 1/2 years. Saturn is the planet that structures our lives through achievement and responsibility.   Saturn is known for its “taskmaster” qualities, testing our character through limitation. The lessons associated with Saturn shows us where potential lies through the paradoxical box it seemingly holds us in. Scorpio deals with the inner sanctums of life and the underworld of our psyche. There is nothing casual or aloof about Scorpio. Power, control, conflict, death/rebirth, vulnerability, secrecy, co-mingling of resources (connection), and sexuality are some of the key descriptions associated with Scorpio. Bringing a theme of intensity that gets down and dirty. Saturn entering Scorpio’s realm immediately challenges control and power. Showing us the box we have built in the name of fear and summoning us to break free from its l...

Location:   Top of head. Influence: Cerebral cortex, upper skull, skin. Associative Color:      Violet or White or Gold   Central focus:  Connection to spirit, enlightenment, self-realization, fulfillment, faith, individuation, humanitarianism, , selflessness, transcendence, attachment. We work our way up awakening each chakra to arrive at a form of enlightenment in the Crown Chakra. This is not a journey’s end, but a rebirth and beginning that which some describe as “Kundalini Awakening”.  Here in the seventh chakra awareness of our spirit is realized and our connection to a more encompassing spirit outside ourselves. This spiritual connection is not religion. Religion speaks to the tribal mind and is associated with the first chakra. When we awaken to the seventh chakra we are open to cosmic energy that is linked with Divine wisdom and thought. At this level the intellect is abandoned and the experience of a “knowing” is realized as is an establis...
