The Ancient Self Arises

I thought about calling this post Are We There Yet?
Since Saturn went into the Spleen Centre in August 2010 we have had many months of intensive clearing out of old material from our DNA – family junk and soul junk. It’s gone a lot deeper than healing our physical bodies. Radiating out through all space, time and dimension, our efforts have affected everything from the ancient deep-earth beings to our own ancestors and our multidimensional being-selves.
And so we sit here today asking ourselves this question – can we get any more healed than this!!
In the past, as each generation has learnt about how best to survive life, the information got bedded down in the DNA code and passed on. Just figured out a new way to avoid that pesky mastedon? Don’t worry, your great great grandchildren will instinctively understand what to do when they run into a mastedon on their way home from school.
Because life on earth is changing faster and faster, it’s rendered much of the information coded into your DNA hopelessly out of date, but still operational in your day to day life. Oops! Not only is it out of date, it’s also compromised and able to be manipulated by people in advertising, government and the media. It’s their job after all! This is the true ‘junk dna’ and finding and repairing it is just one of the benefits of our so-called ‘healing process’.
We have also freed up the karmic energy of the ancestors, both tribal and family. You may have experienced a feeling of release from the pressure of the past. The old fractal lines of tribal kinship, patronage and fealty are being rapidly resolved, karmic debts repaid, bonds and sacred contracts completed.
An Emotional Shift
This week our focus has shifted from the physical realm of the Spleen Centre to the emotional realm of the Solar Plexus Centre. From the current home of hard nosed Saturn and Pluto to the watery realms of Neptune and Chiron.
The Sun is in the Gate of Progress, connecting the Solar Plexus to the Throat. It connects Ceres (grief and rage within the family dynamic) in Gate 36 and Makemake (the ‘bullying’ of the natural self) opposite Ceres in Gate 6, so that the grief of the ancients can be expressed. This ancient energy is returning to consciousness – the indigenous, the people of the forest, the plains, the islands, the deserts. We each hold aspects of that ancient energy within us, and this week it speaks to us of our disconnection from what is true and real.
As the Moon passed over Gate 35 on Monday it brought up a terrible grief of what is being done to our planet. During this time I received emails and link about all kinds of indigenous issues, including a story about the flooding of the Great Bend of the Xingu River in the Amazon Basin. This new dam is designed to feed growing industrial development in the region, but will utterly destroy the homeland, culture and natural habitat of thousands of people. The emotional devastation is palpable in this photo. Click on the photo for a link to a global petition against the dam.
Apart from activating an emotional manifestor channel, this Ceres transit is powerful because creates a bridge for Neptune and Makemake to be expressed. Neptune has arrived in it’s home sign of Pisces for the first time since 1862, and is currently joined in Gate 55 by Chiron and 2007 OR10 (aka Snow White). And Makemake in the Gate of Intimacy is currently opposite Ceres, and both are squaring the Galactic Centre.
Neptune
Neptune has been hanging around the Solar Plexus Centre since 2007. It entered Pisces on 6th April 2011, and went into Gate 55 – Abundance – on 9th April. Other than a few retrograde months spent back in Gate 30 – August 2011 to February 2012 – Neptune will remain in Gate 55 until January 2015. It goes retrograde today.
The Gate of Abundance is an emotional gate, subject to being continually provoked by others. A flood of emotions can make us feel that any solid ground has dissolved and we will be washed away by the tide. The key is to understand what our emotions are telling us, to allow the flow of emotions and what they provoke in us, even if that feels like overwhelming fear. We don’t need to heal anything, act on them, judge them. All we need to do is be present with and to ourselves. And every single one of us is capable of that to at least some degree.
Gate 55 hold a tremendous power to find the abundant treasure that is our own personal and authentic emotional response to life. It is gradually revealing to us where our true treasure really lies!
Snow White
There is a dwarf planet alongside Neptune, Snow White (2007 OR10, 225088). While little has been done to come to any significant understanding of the astrological significance of this planet, my own observations have shown one big issue – to wake up to the toxins and poisons we have been ‘fed’ to keep us asleep. Think vaccinations, flouride, fracking and fast food. But even beyond the obvious physical toxins, Snow White is showing us the emotional toxins we are living in, and how they have prevented us from seeing what is really going on for us at the personal level.
Chiron
Neptune and Chiron have spent about 12 months in the Gate of Desire (30), helping us distinguish fact from wounded fantasy in what we desire in life. Do we really desire an iPad? It’s opened our eyes to the ways we’ve been manipulated using glamour, advertising, addiction.
Neptune and Chiron are now in the Gate of Abundance (55), and it seems to me that they will open our eyes, wake us up (remember Snow White is there with them), removing the poison of toxic concepts of wealth and abundance. Neptune will spend the next four years helping us get blissful about true abundance. In order to do this it will provoke our fear responses to lack, and clear poisonous toxins from our emotional field. The handsome prince was in love with Snow White, even though she was dead. She was just so perfect!
Makemake
In the Gate of Intimacy (6) since October 2006, Makemake has been having a huge effect on our ability to identify our own internal conflict. Gate 6 gives us the chance to take time to look within at what we are doing to create conflict and crisis, rather than react and project it outwards. Right now Makemake is in line 4:
You can’t win here – there’s nothing for you in this argument. Step outside of it to a wider perspective and beyond the positions the conflict defines for you. Turn away from argument and towards your own purpose.
Makemake gives our wild self a voice, a chance to be part of our existence. As the Creator God of Rapa Nui, Makemake watched as the Europeans arrived in 1720 and pronounced the island barren and the people heathens. The true joy, abundance and freedom of the polynesians who lived there was invisible to them.
It reminds me of the comments of the First Fleet, arriving at Sydney around the same time. The most miserable people they had ever seen! Or this from a dutch captain, “the most wretched and poorest creatures that I have ever seen”. All they had was clean air, water and plentiful food, a beautiful climate and stable culture, all of which had sustained them beautifully for tens of thousands of years. The days after the first fleet arrived the aboriginals put on a party with singing and dancing and feasting to welcome their guests! Compare that to the state of 18th Century London!
What does all this have to do with Makemake? The very existence of this abundant culture was written out of the history books, and along with it, the existence of the part of you that longs to live in alignment with nature and experience your birthright. We are reuniting the civilized and technologically advanced self with the wild and natural self. This is a huge deal both within and without!
Ceres helps brings these energies together. In Gate 36 she brings what is trapped in darkness out into the light, releasing the soul fragments caught up in a sticky web of emotional toxicity.
The Sun in the Gate of Progress brings us hope. Who would have expected these sorts of policy announcements 12 months ago?
In UK, the National Ecosystem Assessment says that for decades, the emphasis has been on producing more food and other goods – but this has harmed other parts of nature that generate hidden wealth. Ministers who commissioned the NEA will use it to re-shape planning policy. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13616543
and then there’s this:
Bolivia is set to pass the world’s first laws granting all nature equal rights to humans. The Law of Mother Earth, now agreed by politicians and grassroots social groups, redefines the country’s rich mineral deposits as “blessings” and is expected to lead to radical new conservation and social measures to reduce pollution and control industry

Progress indeed. The ancient self is speaking and our wild and natural self is free and able to respond to the truth.

Thank you for this post. The advice to let the emotions flow is so relevant to my experience. Especially the fear part. Much fear moving through me, and with key planets sitting in those gates (30, 55 & 6), perhaps getting a bit more rolling through than just fear.
For dealing with the emotional flow aspect, I share this piece by Rumi:
This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
****

Eve that is a wonderful sharing, thank you so much! I was looking last night at the Venus Eclipse coming up on 3oth June in Gate 12 line 3, which is about embracing shame. I may repost this wonderful Rumi piece then, it’s gorgeous.
deadly poem,he was on
it
Rumi seems always to have been on it Maedhbh, pretty incredible when I think about how much people rely on his words these days. More and more I think! Love to you xk
I have been really angry and struggling. Thanks so much for these posts. They are keeping me true to what HD represents for me. I am grateful.
My pleasure Evan <3
Thank you for this post! So delicious in it’s trueness to my experience right now.
Especially the seeing glimpses of what abundance REALLY is, not the selfishness I’d always equated it with, no matter how much I argued with it. Seems I’m getting ready to let some of it in.
What an amazing time to be in a body!
