ASTROFLASHES

LIBRA CHARACTERISTICS - If I must be in a box, then make it a pretty one. Libra characteristics depict us as loving beauty, peace,equality, and harmony however, did you know that more wars are fought for Libran issues of fairness and equality than any other?
Yeah we Librans have a great big FAIR BUTTON that won’t quit and its our blessing and curse. Some may call us codependent because we always seem to be in relationships or wanting them. Lady, save your labels because it is our nature to want to partner and be in love. we are just wired that way. For you this may feel obsessive, to us its the way it is. It is a true textbook Libra characteristic to be a bit of a people pleaser and those that revel in controversy will even call us fence sitters. Here’s the deal, we want to be loved or at least liked by as many as possible and we also like and need to keep the peace even if we are the ones who stir the pot from time to time.
If you don’t have a year or two, never ask us to make the decision because we just can’t do it quickly or sometimes at all. We need to look at all sides to, you guessed it, TO BE FAIR. Our ethics can be second to none. Sting, and TS Eliot are Librans.

[Just an aside, Flash is channeling this information and if it were coming purely from me, Ms Libra, I would not be quite so direct and crass. I am first and foremost, a lady and even if I am a dude, I am refined.”Yeah Yeah Dude looks like a lady!” (read on…)

ARIES PROFILE - ARIES profile! Take a good look, here I am, do ya like this Arian profile? I know, the nose isn’t quite as straight as it could be but see we rough and tumble Aries lead with our heads. Sometimes our own bodies are the scene of the crime as it were, and often enough its literally our heads that wear our badges of courage or impulsiveness.
It’s not so much that I am selfish but I do tend to get tunnel vision when I want something. Its not even that I mean to hurt you, but I just simply do not see you in my rush to the object of my affection or interest.
Hmmmm, not painting such a pretty picture here but you have got to know that I never lie, what you see is what you get and that’s the truth about the Aries personality.
If its passion that you want baby I am hot hot forget me not even Johny/Janey on the spot and I always like to leave you wanting more. (read on…)

INSPIRATIONAL JUPITER
I really do like to do the right thing when I can find one. I have been so damn frustrated with Saturn squashing my Mars that give me a little expansive Jupiterian juice and I am off screaming against the wind FREE AT LAST!
For those who might noy know ASTROSPEAK, Jupiter is the rotund planet o expansion, generosity, wide ranging spiritul phiosophies, and an oveall buoyant countenance. Jupiter has recently entered my sign of Pisces and I am liking it already.
Mind you, even with the inspirational boost, it’s like pulling teeth to keep my 3 ring kozmic circus spinning like a top. I believe that the essence of the Jupiter trine that I am experiencing now was cooking during last years never ending Jupiter return mixing it up with Neptune and Chiron.
You enjoy a Jupiter return about every 112 years when it returns to the placement at your birth.
Jupiter of course doesn’t know the meaning of “enough” or”no” which can place one on the excess express even if its good stuff like festivals and benefits, or radio shows or…..!
I believe that I will not even know exactly what and how I have changed in such big ways til good old Uranus starts cuddling up with my Sun and Moon zapping them into the next dimensional shift! As I write this, I can even sense the universal master plan as each transit does its work on my consciousness. I am wanting to say ” dirty work” because sometimes it really pisses me off when the transits feel so restrictive and also because my wise mouth Pluto in the third house opposes Jupiter widely and its kind of demanding some underground street cred for its deep doing.
If only my body can handle the intense energetic shifts that are clearly happening. Perhaps I can have some positive transformations in that way as well.

ASTROLOGICAL MUSINGS, PLANETARY SHIFTS, AND 2012
I am and have been dealing with the relationship or planets Pluto opposite Uranus in my chart for the better [or worst lol] part of the year and it has been most interesting to be sure. Today I finally had a real aha moment standing on a powerful ley line in my yard. I feel as though my identity and relationship with others has morphed.
I have been watching and listening to fascinating information re revelations about the actual location of the North Pole and some quantum physics stuff about the wobble of the earth and calculating this certain type of earth physics [I forget the exact name of this term] and how there needs to be a re alignment with the North Pole as it should be and where it is and I just had this incredible notion.

WOODSTOCK 40 YEARS LATER:
SEEDS FOR A NEW CONSCIOUSNESS

by Flash Silvermoon

It’s really hard to wrap my head around the fact that Woodstock happened 40 years ago on Aug 15 1969! They say that if you can remember the 60’s, which were really the late 60’s, then you weren’t there but I beg to differ.

It amazes me that my memories of those days and particularly Woodstock are as vivid as if they were yesterday. Considering the substances that flowed through my system that weekend, it is even more amazing.

There were two festivals occurring in my hood that month and I knew that I could only manage getting to one of them and thank the Goddess and all the Muses, that I decided that Woodstock was a better concert than the Atlantic City Fest which also looked pretty good.

During the summer of ‘69, I had gone cross-country to California and actually saw and met Grace Slick singing with the Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore West in San Francisco. She and Janis were my idols and I was still flying high from the experience by the time I returned to New Jersey and prepared for Woodstock. I mention this adventure in Kali-fornia because while waiting on line to get into that Airplane concert, a funny little man saw me at the front of the line and asked me to save him a seat near me and he would “give me some good dope.” I said yes and would have helped him without the offer. I figured that he would give me a joint but instead he gave me a little purple pill that I immediately tucked into my amethyst poison ring for just the right occasion. I was actually traveling with my parents so this was clearly NOT the right time. As I write this part of me is saying, “Are you crazy taking a pill from a stranger?” But you must understand, those were different days and amongst the circles of folks that I traveled, people still had honor and trust with such things.

PLANETARY STATE OF MY UNION
I guess that Pluto planet or not thing is all settled. Whew maybe now Pluto will behave her/himself and not be so over the top.Poor thing began Capricorn as a dwarf for Goddess sake so is it any wonder that this little Napoleonic Planet would kick serious butt in Capricorn so doing the overachiever thing yet feeling somehow “less than.” Maybe now that Illinois has affirmed its true planetary status, Pluto can return to intenseity and not overkill.
I mean oh my aching horrorscope with little Pluto jumping up and down on my descendant like Bernadette Castro on her 1957 convertible sofa! Who knows just who will come knockin’ on my door with Pluto dilligently and seductively lurking at the doorway? Sort of staggers the imagination and makes one want to run for cover or at least eat a few pomegranate seeds and get a new black and scarlet wardrobe. (read on…)

Raise the Vibe for the Tribe/We Won’t Be Fooled Again
Flash SilvermoonI moved from NYC in ‘75 to be here in Florida in the country near a larger community to prepare for these “Interesting times”, not that I am as prepared as I want to be.
It is so importnat not to fear and panic though the economy is certainly a scarey wild ride and folks are scrambling to find something solid to hold onto as a bunker against diminishing financial security.
I think the gathering of food is a really good investment
within reason and gathering  supplements and the kind of things that we need that will keep is good planning as well. Basically the more self, and community sufficient that we can be will surely help us throough uncertain times. (read on…)

PLUTO IN SAGITTARIUS PASSING IT ON TO CAPRICORN
In trying to explore the last 12 years of Pluto in Sagittarius one cannot miss the fact that our government as well as others have become a theocracy, where one’s God or lack thereof becomes a major point of political power. Beliefs have become paramount with each side claiming to have the last word on what God wants.
Jupiter ruled Sagittarius is all about expanding beliefs and I believe that in spite of the bombastic over blown missives of the No-Fundamentalists of every stripe, we have also enjoyed more awareness and sharing of Cultural Diversity. (read on…)

Questions by Ayedo

1. How do you get by spiritually when the world turns cold, icy,
dark, rainy or foggy?

2. Who are your spirit friends?

3. How do you connect with community for spiritual survival?

4. What spirit, deity or animal helps you get by during winter,
helping you find daily pleasure instead of angst as you maneuver
the dimly lit, slippery path in winter’s wake

Thanks so much for posing these provocative questions as I am very much struggling with them myself. I have been quietly acknowledging to myself that I am feeling blue and missing my core of friends all of whom died within a year of each other. I have made other friends but the deep kind don’t come easy.
Being the community Priestess and Shaman doesn’t always help either as all assume that you are fine always.
I rarely if ever get really depressed but I can feel it poking around my edges like a little frost in this cooler time.
So after contemplating these questions, I said to myself, Enough of This and lit my favorite incense in every room and proceeded to go out to feed my beautiful Appaloosa Mare.
I know that I find my deepest peace and sustenance in this Shamanic realm that I co - create under the loving arms of the Grandmother Tree in my White Room (read on…)

Aphrodite and Oshun/Imbolc and Beyond
 

I like to celebrate the coming of the Sacred Love Goddesses starting on Feb 2 with Imbolc,Candlemas,Brigid’s Day and so on.
Mainstream culture likes to deify St. Valentine and give this bloodthirsty slayer of women the one day of the year that Love is supposed to Rule. How totally bizarre  and how the hell did he manage to grab that gig? I could research but let’s just chalk that up to the  badass patriarchy.
This just does not work for me at all so for years, I have celebrated  the time between Imbolc and Feb 14 or so as the Feast of Aphrodite. During this time one can delight in all manner of love rituals [as long as they are non-manipulative] and generally pump up your love groove. (read on…)

Creating Grids, a Fifth Dimensional Tool for Healing Yourself, Your Animals and the Planet.
by Flash Silvermoon

Are you willing to approach the possibility of creating a miniature temple for you and yours that cannot only offer you elevation of the body, mind and spirit but can actually facilitate healing? Are you willing to walk that Rainbow Bridge into the magical, mystical world of the Fifth Dimension, the place where the miraculous can unfold..if you believe?
To do this, we are required to entertain a “beginner’s mind,” that is, to approach these concepts as a willing, curious child open to wonder and magic!
Spirit is clearly telling me in every way that if I am to write about the Fifth Dimension, then I must also live it. As I write, I am daily given opportunities of how to live more attuned to this space and it is one of profound peace.
WHAT IS THE FIFTH DIMENSION? (read on…)
