Now is the time to unite the Soul and the World.  Now is the time to see the sunlight dancing as one with the shadows.
I love this Rumi quote. It encapsulates our inner longing to infuse the material side of our existence with the Higher Love, Wisdom, and Intuitive Understandings of our Soul. 
Of all the help we may receive upon the way, Astrology is one of the most valuable, shining the light of understanding on our quest to know ourselves as Spiritual Beings having an earthly experience. Our quest has always been so: to know ourselves as an earthly personality in service to, and as an expression of, our greater Self, our Soul.
But now there is another layer, another point of growth we feel with a sense of urgency.  Yes, we are individuals, wounded, gifted, vulnerable, strong.  We are capable of self-interest, catering to our fears, our longings to fill that empty bucket with a hole in it: but equally capable of acts of great selflessness, wisdom, compassion, and sacrifice for the love of other beings.
With the help of astrology and our own inner bravery, we may learn to stand with our feet on the ground and our arms to heaven, in the centre of our own shadow and light.  And this is all necessary.  But right now, we are learning how to take this even further. We are learning how to be community: how to embrace our unique individuality whilst discovering our connectedness in mind, heart, and soul. Right now, we stand in this special place at the end of our civilization as we have known it.  We all, deep within our hearts, know that we must create a better world, a more loving, equal, and inclusive world.  Many of us are living with some form of grief, uncertainty, or hope for a better future.  And it is bigger than just our personal lives (though it may be manifesting there as well).  We truly are living in an end time.  What will Pluto in Aquarius bring?  What will our own hearts and Souls manifest?  To create a different world, we must tell a different story.  Firstly, become aware of the stories we are living with. How much has advertising and materialist culture inhabited our brains and set our priorities?  How do we step out of the ingrained habits we live by? For me, Mother Earth has whispered to me in the night and the soft light of morning that our healing, planetary healing, requires us to rediscover our deep shamanic connection to the Earth itself.  It is rebalance to a more grounded, deeper and more loving reality.  Astrology, as part of our story telling, also needs to reconnect with the earth.  This is going to become a greater focus with the Astrology Community as we walk on the path together. 
A new earth, a better society. It is a task that seems more enormous that we can imagine.  But like all tasks, one step at a time.  The Astrology Collective, our community, is my first step.  In our community we value and support your journey, each of you, as well as the collective. Those of you who have joined or are going to join our community, I love the fact that I am walking this path with you.  Much gratitude   Lynette

November, ah sweet November. Despite Christmas looming, the universe is gifting us with the opportunity to sit back and give our dreams and schemes to the unconscious where they can stew, brew and return to us in usable formats. As the only God with the capacity to travel between the worlds, I often speak of how Mercury/Hermes brings us messages from the underworld. He/She brings the unconscious to light. But I neglect to think of the equally important function of Hermes to gather our conscious dreams and schemes and send them down to the otherworld where they have the opportunity to ferment, to grow and to return to us as ideas and plans to manifest them in the material world.
This I feel is the most important aspect of Novembers retrograde Mercury. There are other clues to this. As Mercury tumbles down into the quiet of a contemplative retrogradation, it also becomes part of that beautiful water trine that November is giving us. This trine is also extended as the Sun. Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars all travel through Scorpio, sending a warm embrace to Jupiter in Cancer and Neptune in Pisces. Or maybe it is Jupiter/Cancer which sends the warm embrace to the other more reticent and murky waters.
Either way, let's get together and ruminate on these events in our own charts. Oh, and yes, those ideas will return. Mercury will be passing over an opposition to Uranus, also retrograde. And Uranus always shines, or reshines, the light and brings things back to the surface.1 attendee - A$35.00
•OnlineAstrology and Fairy Tales - Spinning Straw into Gold. A Talk by Shawn Nygaard
OnlineFairy tales have gained a reputation in modern times as being a step removed from so-called “reality,” largely due to the wish for a happy ending that never really seems to arrive in “real” life. As reflections of psychic reality, however, fairy tales suggest that the soul seems far less interested in happy endings than in expressing through these varied tales the wider dynamic range of its inherent, archetypal complexity – the same archetypal complexity reflected in an astrological chart.
This webinar explores the nature of fairy tales, their roots and role in history and culture, and how they can – through understanding them as psychological complexes – enhance our astrological imagination, turning charts themselves into fairy tales. Whether entering the dark forest or an enchanted wood, or longing to go to the ball, fairy tale imagery aligns with the planets, signs, houses, and aspects familiar to all of us. Specific examples will help start spinning the straw of a chart into golden threads of insight.
