More Insanity

Mercury is having a busy day today. Astrologically it is trine Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron, square Uranus, opposite the Galactic Centre, and conjunct Hopi.

Just thought I’d throw Hopi in for a bit of colour really! As we all know there are no coincidences I thought I’d see what I could find out about the asteroid, Hopi. The answer, not much!

What I did discover, which is intruiging, is that the Hopi people lived in North Arizona, were known as the peaceful people and they predicted the Blue Kachina which would indicate the end times.

It was said that in these end times:

So intense will the nature of the changes be that those who are weak in spiritual awareness will go insane, for we are nothing without spirit.

Insanity is the theme apparently! Not where I was planning to go with this post, but it just popped up again of it’s own accord.

Since Mercury is part trickster who has no relationship to the truth as we may understand it, expect interesting and unusual happenings today. It’s in Gate 12, which is a portal gate that translates the abstract and symbolic to conceptual language format so that it can be shared.

What’s true for the rational world is often a nonsense in the feeling world.

Saturn and Ceres are still in the Channel that brings abstract data down through the Crown Chakra for conceptualisation. I suspect trying to understand it will drive us mad. Lucky for us, all we have to do is go with the flow and allow the meaning to unfold effortlessly and over time.

Ceres is opposite Eros (in Gate 22), beginning a harmonising journey that for our essential life force energy - sexual and creative - and our desire for nature and nourishment.

Venus is doing it’s own significant thing, being square Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter and sextile Uranus. And for 6 hours, starting at 3.30pm 2nd July (5.32am UT), the Moon will bring Venus, Mercury and Mars into connection with Pluto in the G Centre which is the place of higher love and self.

This channel sees our innate creative essence and gives us the direction to make use of it in ways that both empowers us and benefits the collective. No compromise can find its way into this space!

Our intelligence is shifting and our emotions are the key. It’s part of the abstract/dark/feminine energy that’s balancing up. Feeling irrational? Can’t explain what’s going on? Then I suspect you are right on track. Well done!!!

Insanity, no longer the best option!

I’m having an interesting time with Prince Chi and his insanity. An unexpected turn of events, you might say. Because in the past 24 hours I’ve come face to face with aspects of my life where I’ve been involved in insanity in the form of mental/emotional instability.

One example I can share. You might have read about my across-the-road neighbour who came over twice to be abusive, call me terrible names, tell me my children are hoodlums and threaten to call the police and child protection on me. Left me a bit dazed and confused, but you can never understand what goes on behind the fevered brow of some!

I invited him in to call the authorities on my phone .. save him the walk home. He didn’t come over again. I should mention that he’s a well respected local businessman, and not a local loony.

I saw him yesterday in town and he shook his head as if to say ‘I can’t believe you have the hide to show your face in a town full of respectable people’. Very weird.

My point being that here is an example of where someone has just gone mad. Some aspect of this man is completely deluded and he’s projecting it onto me.

I’ve had another few examples which I won’t share because it will break confidences. But the thing is, this is the way we’ve gone mad in order to survive not just our own lifetimes, but many generations of severe inhumanity. Sometimes, insanity has been the best option.

The Insanity of Prince Chi

Daily Transits | icon4

07 2nd, 2009| icon3

No Comments »

I wrote this post yesterday, but it wouldn’t load, so here it is a day late!

Uranus goes stationery today, which means we get to stand still and have a look at any issues we’ve got about not wanting to be here on planet earth.

In the current position, Uranus says that its sometimes better to feign insanity than to reveal the truth of who you are and put yourself in danger:

Prince Chi lived at the court of an evil tyrant who was his relative and so he could not withdraw. Therefore he concealed his true sentiments and feigned insanity. Although he was held a slave, he did not allow external misery to deflect him from his convictions.

Just another day at the office for Prince Chi! I’ve been having strong reactions to all sorts of things lately that make me feel like I’m a slave. Just normal things I do all the time, like getting up to get the kids ready for school on a freezing cold morning when all three of us would rather stay in bed.

With Mercury and Venus both making astrological squares to Uranus today, it’s a tough one, potentially pushing emotions to the Throat and then preventing their expression (Mercury in Gate 12) in order that we stay present with ourselves and find our own clarity. Our extreme layers of emotional sensitivity are being healed so that we are more able to be out in the world without experiencing harm.

Remember, emotions are not rational and we can’t always find a reason for them. No need to be concerned about that. It doesn’t make them any less valid if you don’t fully understand them.

Venus in Gate 8 is attracting those to us who support us in attaining fundamental sincerity. This strength of fundamental sincerity becomes so great that it has the power to attract good fortune to itself.

Uranus is in the Gate of Chaos, where humanity as a species has operated without emotional clarity for so long that everything is chaotic. Like Midas, but with chaos instead of gold!

The next few weeks will bring some big, and potentially difficult, shifts. With the smaller and more personal planets - Mercury, Venus and Mars - moving through the Throat Gates that will bring the transpersonal planets - Uranus, Neptune and Pluto - to expression. We’ve also got a second Cancer New Moon with a Total Solar Eclipse on 22nd July in Gate 56.4.

Be aware of how you judge the behaviour of others and remember, it’s always about you, what you are projecting, reflecting, attracting. Looking to yourself first is a major key to getting through July with flying colours.

I picked up a woman today who had a flat tyre. She was on her way to work. She told me that for 2 weeks she hadn’t wanted to get out of bed in the morning. She wanted to stay home and safe until the world ‘fixed itself up’. You are the world and it’s you who’s got the power to ‘fix things up’. Blame is not an option at the moment. Rebellion is a thing of the past. After all, what are you blaming and rebelling against but your own true nature?

While all that darkness is doing it’s thang, and integrating as any good shadow longs to do, what are we left with? The most amazing sense of peace, love, gentleness and connectedness. And the golden light of truth borne on the wings of emotional clarity.

Why We’re Under Pressure

Kim Gould | icon2

Daily Transits | icon4

07 1st, 2009| icon3

4 Comments »

The pressure we are experiencing on our mental level is being caused by the combination of Saturn and dwarf planet Ceres which are connecting the Crown Chakra to the Ajna or Brow Chakra. There is an intense download of information coming in through the Crown and putting pressure on the Ajna.

The download is activating the Pineal Gland. This pineal gland is activated by Light energy, and it controls the various bio-rhythms of the body. It works in harmony with the hypothalamus gland which directs the body’s thirst, hunger, sexual desire and the biological clock that determines our aging process. When it awakens, we can feel a pressure at the base of the brain.

The pineal gland is a link between our physical and spiritual aspects. It transmutes physical information and gives it a spiritual reality. It transmutes spiritual information and gives it a physical reality.

(You can’t see Ceres on the chart because the HD software doesn’t include dwarf planets. It connects that blue dot at the bottom of the Crown (64) to the Ajna).

Human Design Transit Chart for 1st July 2009 The pressure is coming partly from within, from our tendency to believe we have to make sense of things right here and right now rather than allowing a flow of abstract, non-linear information to flood our system.

There is no need to DO anything. No need to act. No need to find a solution, make plans, change your life in any way. Although the pressure may have you feeling like you should do something, that’s not the case.

Consciously relaxing the Crown Chakra and the Ajna Chakra will help. Take some time to ground yourself, and then imagine white light streaming down into your Crown Chakra. Be aware of any tightness, any resistance and breathe through it, allowing a relaxing and natural unforced opening to happen. Then gently allow the energy to flow down to the Ajna, again breathing through any resistance, allowing a relaxed and natural opening to occur.

Use the grounding exercise from the link above to bring the energy right down and anchor it into the earth.

Being grounded is even more important than usual when this sort of download is happening. Not engaging your rational mind in the process is crucial. This is a right brain, abstract, non-linear energy and your rational mind is simply getting in the way. It’s turn will come later, when we get to the integrative stage. Engaging your rational mind at this stage only creates confusion.

Right now we are simply being imprinted. We need to be in receiving mode only at the mental level.

With Mercury, Venus and Mars all at the Throat Chakra, there is a strong feeling that we should be DOING. Unless it’s effortless, don’t!

Sleep is good, because it allows the energy to come in without the personality filters that operate when we are in waking consciousness.

The inspiration coming through is about reinterpreting the past, to look at it with different eyes. It’s about us seeing how the existing structures of humanity have not supported our nourishment and nurturance on a personal or global level.

You’ll find on a personal level that you’ll be having experiences where you do something you’ve always done and go … omg! that feels terrible! I was talking to a friend this morning who told me she’s finding it almost impossible to make herself go to work. “There’s nothing in it that’s about me.” She was puzzled and confused because she’s always enjoyed working and it never mattered too much what the work was.

Our sensitivity has risen to a level where we can no longer engage in systems of work, play, relating, that are not truly nurturing for us at every level. This is a time to focus on what feels nurturing. There’s no need to dwell on the things that aren’t working, that don’t feel good, because they are leaving your life and that’s the only reason why you are aware of them.

This is the Channel of Dreaming. So even if you usually don’t, this week you probably will.

This transit will last till 6th July.

Splitting Apart - the new masculine and feminine

Kim Gould | icon2

Daily Transits | icon4

06 27th, 2009| icon3

1 Comment »

If life feels like it’s splitting apart, that’s because Mars, Venus and Sedna are all in the Gate of Splitting Apart. This is a gate that gives us new inspired ideas, something that’s going to change our tired old view of reality into something more rich and diverse.

The inspiration actually comes from the Ajna Centre in Gate 43 - Gate of Breakthrough, the mental Ah ha! moment. But Gate 43 can’t express because it’s not a Throat Gate. So that’s where Gate 23 comes in. It completes the Channel of Structuring (creating new structures on the mental plane) by taking the inspiration of Gate 43, assimilating and expressing it.

Gate 23 is my only Throat Gate so I’m pretty attached to it! The thing I love about it is that it’s amoral. It’s aim is diversity, not judgement. It’s looking for what is of use to the collective amongst the individual mutations available to it.

An individual cannot survive in an intolerant world and Gate 23 is here to let us know that.

This is the Gate of Mental Expression of the Self as an Individual. Both Mars and Venus can stay stuck in old structures that want nothing more than to protect the ego-self (Mars) or maintain pseudo-harmony and hoard belongings (Venus). But Mars also brings the courage to break free from the ego-self and Venus is attuned to a harmony the travels beyond social niceties to the natural world and the rhythm of the cosmos.

Sedna is a very complex mythology. The crux of the story starts out with a father and his daughter and later moves onto a man and a woman. There’s also the underwater part that involves dolphins and whales, but I’m not going to deal so much with that here.

The father/daughter dynamic of is particular interest because Pluto (lord of the underworld, where Sedna found her temporary watery home) is transiting in the gate/hexagram representing the relationship between the father and the youngest daughter. The hexagram (10) is called Treading and shows the small and cheerful (the daughter) treading on the large and strong (the father).

On an inner level it shows that we are on a journey of learning to surrender to something larger and stronger. We’ve integrated that protective energy into our vehicle, and now we are free to hear the small voice of the downtrodden within. It can trust that it will be well received rather than abused or humiliated. Listen for small subtle voices that are unaccustomed to getting a hearing.

This transit shows a shift in the masculine/feminine dynamic, where the more powerful aspects of both are now open to taking in and nurturing/protecting the more tender and vulnerable aspects of the other. There is a new structure of relating here that allows space for the individual to emerge. The role playing of macho man, sex kitten, supermum … is it just my imagination or is there only one role for the blokes? I can think of many for women and only one for men. Hmmm, maybe that’s just me….

Sedna is in 23.3, where we find that our individuality is a blessing to the world, rather than a curse. We look inwards to inform our behaviour, rather than outwards for guidelines on what’s acceptable. Looking outward left us limited and confused .. I’d go so far as to say dazed! According to the I Ching, informing our behaviour from this place brings self-knowledge that opens us up to others and removes our self preoccupation. We are more able to be objective about the effects we have on others and to make a more positive influence on the world.

Mercury and Uranus bring Rapid Easy Progress

Kim Gould | icon2

Daily Transits | icon4

06 23rd, 2009| icon3

Comments Off

Did you think it was safe to go back in the water? (Evil laughter).

Human Design Transit Chart for 23 June 2009 Today, Mercury joins Uranus in the Channel of Transitoriness. I’d like to just say here that I do not like that channel name and I won’t use it again.

Mercury will be in the Gate of Progress (35) until 26th June 18.30 UT and 27th June 4.30 AEST.

This is a robust emotional channel that takes no prisoners. I was doing a reading for a 16 year old girl who has this channel in her design and I told her she had to have the truth no matter what the consequences. She stared at me with wide eyes and asked “how did you know that?”

This channel doesn’t plan, it has no goals but to find the truth. It can be a descent into your own personal emotional underworld and probably there’ll be a bit of a look see into the underworld of those around you as well. This channel brings change through crisis.

With Mercury getting to the Throat we’re looking particularly at our patterns of communication with others. How our ‘business as usual’ way of communicating can create crisis - pushing ahead too aggressively or withdrawing in hurt. Mercury is going to show you what you’re doing now, and how you can find a better way.

There’s a really fun side to this Channel. It loves to have new experiences, so expect to feel really bored with the same old same old over the next few days. You’re going to be looking for something fresh and new. And you’re very likely to find it. This is a channel of experimentation and the asteroid Icarus is in the mix pushing us to break free from restriction, especially in our relationships with others (Juno is still there as well). Be aware that it’s not the person who is restricting you, but your mode of communicating with them. Be prepared for lots of home truths to come rushing off usually more prudent tongues. It’s also likely to bring a rash of sudden marriages as we break free from the restriction of being alone.

Mercury is in the Gate of Progress. Hexagram 35 represents the sun rising over the earth and is a symbol of rapid, easy progress with ever widening expansion and clarity. On an inner level it represents a surrender to our own higher guidance which creates inner peace and great progress.

On a global level we have something extraordinary (I’m almost over my own hyperbole but still I continue to gasp in amazement at the transits we are experiencing). This is major emotional shifting on a global scale.

Neptune, Jupiter and Chiron in Gate 30 are teaching us that what is, is. And what is, is all we need to create, regenerate and manifest in each moment. This is the only place from which we can create a sense of personal meaning, a deep connection with life. And that connection comes from integrating our emotional desires with our rational daytime selves.

The energy of Gate 30 then blends with Uranus in Gate 36. Right now, we can feel like we’re going mad. But that’s just the feeling of the sane living in an unsane world. Trust in your own sanity because it will prevail. With Mercury added to the mix, the deeper unseen truths will become conscious to many, many more people on the planet. Which means reality will shift. You, yes you, are the point it is shifting towards. There’s no need to go to meet it, it will come to you.

Cancer New Moon June 2009

Daily Transits | icon4

06 22nd, 2009| icon3

Comments Off

What can we make from the fact that Vesta is conjunct this New Moon? And that Pluto is opposite? My image of the Vestal Virgins is of their sovereignty within their own sacred precinct. They were not virgins in the way we commonly use the word now. They were priestesses, initiated into the sacred aspects of sexuality. The incoming patriarchal tribal culture looked and saw prostitutes. This represents a massive downshift in the value of sexual expression as a creative and spiritual force, forcing a dumbing down of the sacral energy of both men and women.

The denial of the sexual energy as a binding force of culture is even further diminished through the ’sin’ of connecting with our own sexual energy at all. It’s the missionary position (in all it’s manifestations) or perversity. Children, in particular, are told they’ll go blind or suffer other serious outcomes if they so much as touch themselves or act in ways that may be interpreted as sexual.

We’ve probably culled the most obvious aspects of this cultural conditioning, but the more subtle layers live on. Look at what happened to Bill Henson. I’ve been chatting to people about the current trend to brazillians and botox. As if what is most sexual is the body of a child. This seems to me to be a subconscious attempt to go back and collect the early natural sexual development that we have been disengaged from.

This disconnection blocks so much of our sacral response (and remember, 70% of us rely on that sacral response to know how to live as our true selves) even as we are simultaneously inundated with sexual images through the media as if to say - this is how you will apply your precious life force energy to your world!

Yesterday I wanted a provocative image to put on this blog and did an image search on photobucket for “sex”. Oh no! came the outraged response - we’re not that kind of site! Out of curiosity I did a search for ‘murder’. No worries, how many images would you like?

This New Moon is bringing up two archetypes for me. The orphan and the prostitute. They are not unrelated. When we are spiritually orphaned we must do what we can to survive and that means selling something of ourselves. While there is life, there is hope. When we have no personal ground zero, we accept the meaning and sustenance that is on offer, regardless of the cost.

Remember what happened when Pluto went into Capricorn ? The world as we knew it disintegrated. This is the first New Moon in Cancer (which is opposite Capricorn) since that time.

Sitting quietly behind Capricorn is our own personal well-defended lunar Cancerian landscape.

Pluto in Capricorn wants to break out of the philosophical ideals of Sagittarius and find something real, something based on an integration of home, family and work that preserves individual integrity. It wants to protect and nurture that timid inner world while still being able to prosper and succeed in the outer world.

Pluto in Capricorn topples the systems of society in order to examine the individual hiding inside. It exposes the desire for social and economic power. It force us to accept the reality that, in order to build something of true value, we must accept our humanity and our need for emotional security and sense of being at home - on our planet, in our country, in our day to day lives.

Any personal or global system that does not take account of the need to nurture and protect the inner life will not survive Pluto in Capricorn.

The Obama Effect and Global Clarity

Kim Gould | icon2

Daily Transits | icon4

06 22nd, 2009| icon3

No Comments »

The New York Times is talking about the “Obama Effect” … is it real? or just a product of our delusional desire for global change?

It’s this type of thinking that creates confusion at all levels of global management. Why not put the shifts in Iran down to a butterfly flapping it’s wings in China? When we get stuck in looking for linear cause and effect we get lost because each event is part of a larger matrix of understanding that, like our cosmos, goes on into an infinity of time, space and meaning. Obama is US President right now because he is part of the big picture of change. He’s not the catalyst, but one of the players.

Neptune and the North Node spent 4 months in the Channel of Emotional Sensitivity about the time that 2008 was tipping over into 2009. As I wrote at the time, this transit would have a profound effect on the global community by lifting our delusional attachment to the us/them dichotomy that’s at the base of so much violence in our world.

Our mythology is shifting and it’s taking familiar ground out from under our feet. Although mythology has universal application, it’s mostly used to explain cultural rules of engagement. For example, there are explicit instructions in Deuteronomy in the Old Testament about who we may buy bread and water from (the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir if you were wondering). This type of mythology relies heavily on creating an enemy without in order to maintain order within.

We are moving towards a new gobal mythology that took it’s first steps on the day we saw the earth from space. From that moment forward we were on the journey to being one world one people.

The Channel of Emotional Sensitivity contains two Aquarian gates. On a personal level it integrates the emotions into the ideology. With major activational transits also taking place in the gates relating to universal ‘brotherhood’, we took the shift to the global level - seeing the ‘other’ as a person rather than an objectified ideological enemy.

Neptune is lifting the veil of energetic glamour that has been used by the dominant forces to strip personal power from each one of us. Notice that everything seems much clearer on the world stage, as if a veil has lifted. Suddenly we can see the Taliban and Tamil Tigers more clearly, we can see the effects of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s government in Iran, we can see the issues that have plagued the Middle East with more clarity. And not just those of us observing from outside, but also the parties directly involved.

Neptune will return to Gate 48, the Gate of Revolution, in September this year. There are more layers to be revealed, but expect the revolution to continue to bring unprecedented clarity to the world stage.
