SPIN SPIN SPIN

  (PART TWO)

  Hopefully for most of us, that spin has started to slow down.  Generally, when planets first start to change direction (either to go retrograde or to turn direct) they create a lot of chaos.  Hence, the first article of this series written a couple of weeks ago.

  Because Jupiter (planet of expansion) has started fully into the retrograde motion, some of the things in our life will become almost like slow motion.  Stamping our feet, and jumping up and down   simply won’t make some things happen faster!  “Darn” I hear some of you say <ggls>  All that will do is create aggravation for ourselves.

  When working with clients, I often say - - If you continue to run into a wall, there are one of two things happening:

             -either you are simply on the wrong track

             -OR…the timing isn’t right.

   Life really is NOT that difficult!!!

   It is often ourselves who make life difficult – either by not listening to the Universal messages or signs OR we sometimes are too stubborn to change our ways.  For those of you with lots of ‘fixed’ signs in your chart….it really is because you are being too stubborn.   For those of you who are clients of mine….I have written ‘how stubborn’ you are up in the top right hand corner under ‘fixed’ signs.  Anything over ‘3’…you are heading into the lineup of stubbornness.

  Presently Jupiter (planet of expansion) is in retrograde motion (appearing to go backwards) sitting at 26 deg Aquarius. Keep that tidbit of information in your mind for a minute while I bounce to another topic – I promise I will tie this all together!  Bear with me.

  Last August…..actually August 16th/08 we all had a lunar eclipse happen in our charts.  Where was it?  It was at 24 deg Aquarius.  Ahhhhhh…..close to the point of where Jupiter is playing around today!  Let’s look even a little bit closer at this.  Let me present this in a question/answer format to help explain….

What happens at the time of an eclipse?

     Often very little happens right at that time…..but what it does is that it provides a huge vibratory pathway right there….and that vibrating pathway vibrates at high speed for a minimum of 2 years.

    So..for a little bit of an analogy.  Lets make out your home is the solar system and the solar eclipse took place in your front entrance.  It means that every time someone walked through that front entrance they would feel like everything is very intense and at high speed.

    This is what the planets are like as they enter that corridor made by that eclise.

What ‘type’ of eclipse happened in August 16 2008?

    It was a LUNAR eclipse – which means it was the eclipse of the Moon.  I won’t get into the technicality of what that looks like etc here…..thats not the purpose of this article.

From a personal level what does a LUNAR eclipse do versus a SOLAR eclipse?

  A Lunar eclipse forces us to shut something down in order to start a new beginning.  Sometimes a lunar eclipse is a bit more difficult than a solar eclipse because we as a society don’t often like to shut things down, so we can be pretty stubborn about that.  Hindsight often shows us it’s the best thing for us, but unfortunately that is not our initial reaction to a planet passing thru that corridor left by the lunar eclipse.

So what does Jupiter retrograde have to do with this lunar eclipse that happened last year?

   Well, the lunar eclipse took place at 24 Deg Aquarius

Right now, Jupiter is sitting at 26 Deg Aquarius so its vibrating right in that eclipse pathway.  It’s FORCING you to give up something!  Something that was evident to you last August…or perhaps you started it last August…or it was that same thought process last August etc.

Let’s take a look at how this motion came into being…….

August 16 2008Lunar Eclipse happened at 26 Deg Aquarius

August 16 2008Jupiter sat at 14 Deg Capricorn – so it wasn’t even near

             the eclipse at the time of the eclipse….BUT…its heading

             towards it.

We know the planets don’t stop moving….they still move onward…and so once Jupiter left the sign of Capricorn….it then entered the sign of Aquarius - - heading right for that high-vibrating corridor.

Jupiter entered the sign of Aquarius in January 2009.  Still not a big deal because it entered at 0 Deg Aquarius – still not close to the 26 Deg Aquarius of the eclipse.

Let’s roll forward to May 2009.  By the time we see May 1st come around….Jupiter has now moved up to 23 Deg Aquarius.   Okeeee…..so now we are getting closer and starting to feel Jupiter coming into that high vibration corridor.  Some people may have even felt a quickening in their blood pressure, or an anxiousness overcoming them.  (Would be interesting to do a study to see how many people complained about blood pressure problems thru then)…  Also would be interesting to note – is that when the virus for the Swine Flu came into being?  Someone out there know that date by any chance?

By May 11th,  Jupiter entered into 25 Deg Aquarius – RIGHT in that pathway!

Everyone, no matter what astrological sign, are dealing with this.  Jupiter is telling each and every one of us - - IF you want to move forward, there is something you need to change in your life.  You can feel it in your bones.  You can feel it in your soul.  No longer can you keep on this same pathway.

By May 21st Jupiter sat perfectly at 26 deg Aquarius.  Smack dab in the center of the eclipse point – almost like being at the epi-center of quake.

We’ve already had a few other planets go through that corridor…but we won’t confuse the issue for now….we will stick with Jupiter….

Jupiter stayed at that 26 Deg Aquarius until 12th June and then it moved to 27 Deg Aquarius…still within orb of this eclipse.  I got tons of emails from people during that time saying WHAT is up with the planets???  The world is going crazy!!!   (Those emails actually is what initiated me writing the first Spin, Spin, Spin article).

Then on June 15th, Jupiter started to retrograde…..someone put on the brakes and the whole world felt it!

Right now, as I write, Jupiter is sitting at 26 Deg Aquarius.  Ohhhhhh my goodness!!!  Right back in the center of that eclipse path!!

Questions for you to ask yourself right now:

-What do I really need to be looking at letting go of in my life?

-What (or who) feels like it doesn’t ‘fit’ anymore, even thought I want it too?

-What an I ‘fussing’ about and why?

Where ever it shows up in your chart is exactly what this is all about!  Give up the fight!

Jupiter moves off that 26 Deg on 11th July – but it only moves to 25 Deg so it will still create that pull (just perhaps not as tense as before)…but it will still force you to think and question.  Do yourself a favour…and be very truthful with yourself in answering the above questions.  If you can’t be truthful with you….who can you be truthful with?

Then on July 22nd Jupiter moves out of the orb by moving to 24 Deg Aquarius and the theory of belief I have, is that 2 degrees away from the eclipse puts it out of orb.

Ahhhhh we say, as we wipe our brow – been saved again!  Escaped the lesson!  NOT!

Jupiter will retrograde all the way back to 17 Deg Aquarius….and then will make the stop to turn around again from doing its backward slide.  Turn around again you say??  Eeekkk……you mean it heads back to that 26 Deg Aquarius again??   Ummmm…yep…that would be correct.  We’re not out of the woods yet.

By the time we get to Christmas this year, Jupiter will sit at 24 Deg Aquarius….starting to come back into that orb…for the last time.

I suspect Christmas will be very different for a lot of people this year.  Not that I think that’s a bad thing, but Jupiter will have needed for those changes already to be in place by the time it returns to that eclipse path once again.

As I said earlier Jupiter is presently retrograding…..it will start its turn-around 13th October….and start to head forward.  (Government ALWAYS reacts to planetary changes, it  will be interesting to see how they react to this change!)  You will automatically see a lot of changes falling into place.  A lot of changes which originally initiated in August 2008!

The end of December & early January 2010…sees Jupiter sitting right in that ecliptic path….so things will need to be finished by then.  Enough of the holding back.  Enough of the muddling over the ideas.  Jupiter is saying - - get the rear in gear…..lets get ready to do the ending/move/change when I turn in October…..because by Christmas it pretty much needs to be finished.

Its all good…it really is.  Everything is for a reason – this journey can be exciting if you simply allow it to happen and work WITH the planets versus against them!
