It's time to think about prosperity. You want it. You deserve it. You work for it. You think about it....But do you know what it is? How will you know when you've got it? First, realize it's a mindset, not a destination. All that longing and struggling is the antithesis of prosperity. Here's something to consider: Prosperity is not how much you HAVE, but how little you NEED. Want all you want and enjoy the pleasure of the game, but vanquish NEED. You're OK now!
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." -Winston Churchill

Full Moon in Aquarius-Activating Trust and Big Mind Consciousness
On Sunday we experience a Full Moon in Aquarius at 7:38 pm MST. The 3 day window surrounding an Aquarius Full Moon can be the most potent time for meditation, where we can access Big Mind consciousness. We can set aside time to be still, to quiet our busy minds and tune into the deep, silent and vast ripples of consciousness within and without. We can create ceremonies where we write out the burdens and beliefs that restrict us from living lives of inner freedom, spaciousness, and joy. Then we can burn them under the full moon, reducing them to ash and smoke... the ash we can feed to our plants, recycling our waste into food for new life.
Monday Saturn opposes Uranus at 10:07 am. This is big news, as it is the final of five oppositions that have occured since the first on November 4, 2008, coinciding with Obama's election. We have been in the cauldron of this Saturn/Uranus energetic since that time and from this point Saturn will be quickly moving into the later degrees of Libra. Saturn/Uranus aspects can be understood as the tension between progressive, expansive, liberating and change-oriented energy and energy that wants to maintain stablility and restrict change.
We could say that it is the tension between the forces that would maintain the status quo-the institutions, norms, and consensus reality of our current human culture-vs. the impulse to break free, innovate, and unleash all our creative potential in service to a new way of being on Earth. The wave of optimism and hope that swept across the globe when Obama was elected demonstrated the longing so many of us feel to connect across divides of race and nationality, and do away with the old orders of heirarchy and elitism.
The above description can be understood as too "hard on" Saturn, however. The truth is that in an oppositional context when we choose sides-as in "I hope Uranus wins!" we find ourselves locked in endless battle, missing the profound opportunity presented by the aspect. As mentioned earlier, to the degree that we (in this case humanity as a whole) can learn to integrate and balance Uranus (radical change and liberation) with Saturn (need for structure and containment in order for manifestation to occur)-we will discover the "irreconcilable third"-a new way of being that is absolutely new-but emerging from the fertile matrix of our past experience.
Obama may not have the ability or authentic desire to enact fundamental change. But we cannot wait for him or any other leader to save us. It is truly up to us, the people, to enact change at personal and community levels. I feel certain that we will be called increasingly over the next months and years to develop stronger links of support and exchange within our local communities, with inspiration and information exchange from networks of allies across the globe. In my mind it is this capacity to act collectively and creatively for the whole that represents the best qualities of Saturn (human-made structure) and Uranus (evolutionary leaps, expansion of consciousness at the individual and collective levels).
Mercury Opposite Neptune, Chiron, and Regulus-Integration of Mind, Body and Heart
Venus and Mars have both aspected this threesome, helping us to access greater universal compassion and empathy-and inspiring us to practice heart-centered action. Now Mercury provides us with a final dose-infusing humanity's collective Mind, Intelligence, and Communication with this uplifting, loving consciousness. This is Big Energy-expansive, celestial, radiant and powerful. And it is precisely the spiritual antidote we need to assist us in working with the Mars activation of Uranus Saturn.
Mars Activates Uranus and Saturn-Integrated Structure and Innovation Embodied in the World
Mars opposes Uranus on Friday and is conjunct Saturn on Saturday. You can see Mars in the night sky near Saturn for several days before and after the conjunction. Mars is active, embodied energy in the world. This aspect is an invitation to step fully into our roles as actors in the unfolding changes, and fully embody the balanced energies of revolutionary Uranus and grounded, practical Saturn, as we play our roles in creating a new earth experience.
Tami Brunk is a Shamanic Astrologer, freelance writer, poet, permaculture student and biophiliac based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. She calls her astrological practice "heart centered astrology," always asking the question-how is this sign (Gemini, Aquarius, Scorpio, etc.) expressed through the heart? She believes that humanity is currently moving from a mind-oriented Information Age to an era of intuitive and heart-centered knowing-and that this shift will enable us to powerfully emerge the new social structures, values, and modes of being to serve all humanity, the Earth, and future generations.
Intimacy is the great pathway to your divine nature, the way of the awakened radiant heart. Whether you’re being deeply intimate with yourself, or another, feeling this delicious closeness can be one of the most powerful spiritual experiences we get to savor and enjoy in human form. At the same time, if you’ve ever suffered from a broken heart, experienced great betrayal, or dealt with intense grief or loss, the mere thought of intimacy can be incredibly frightening, even paralyzing! Perhaps you’re stumbling your way through life numbed out to ease the pain of your broken heart. Or maybe you’ve built a giant fortress of protection around your heart to keep yourself from ever feeling intimate with others again.
If this is so, it’s a very natural response to protect oneself from experiencing the agonizing pain of a broken heart. Surprisingly, it is here in the deepest dark crevice of your heart lies an opening to your soul’s awakening, a glimmering light of grace welcoming you home to your Self! Here a perfect invitation awaits you, out of the very root of your suffering, beckoning you to inquire and discover what the true essence of the heart actually is!
"Heart" is merely another name for the Supreme Spirit, because He is in all hearts. The entire Universe is condensed in the body, and the entire body in the Heart. Thus the Heart is the nucleus of the whole Universe.” ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
This deliciously juicy opportunity has patiently been waiting for you to peer into your broken open heart and clearly see who you truly are! Take this moment to ask yourself, “Who benefits by keeping myself closed off to the rest of the world? Who am I really protecting by keeping others at bay, and who is it to truly suffer? Who wins in the face of entertaining these fears?” The answer is no one wins. This vision of world peace will never be established as long as we say “no” to intimacy with others and buy into the illusions of fear. Peace begins within.
The world is your mirror. If you’re a stranger to yourself you’re a stranger to everyone else. If you’ve been holding back from allowing yourself to be fully open, receptive, and exposed, you are simply protecting an illusion of who you think you are. You are buying into the lies of the ego-mind. You must stop this nonsense if you truly wish to wake up. You are not your ego-mind. Give it up. It will never ever be satisfied. Remember, nothing can harm that which is indestructible. Any thoughts, feelings, and emotions you buy into that inhibit your true nature from shining and feeling free just keep you locked up in a self-imposed prison.
“If you are waiting for anything in order to live and love without holding back, then you suffer. Every moment is the most important moment of your life. No future time is better than now to let down your guard and love.”~ David Deida
What are you waiting for? Take a chance, and see what do you truly have to lose? Who do you have to lose? If anything is to be lost it is only remnants of the false self. Nothing real can be threatened, and nothing unreal exists. There is only Love. Everything else is a deviation, a distortion of love. All that appears in this world that is not love or loving is a misunderstanding, a misinterpretation of this Love.
You are here to awaken, to rise out of this illusion and shine! This is your soul purpose, your true mission in this life. If you really wish to transform your life in the most powerful ways and awaken, begin by cultivating this deep intimacy with yourself. Engage in the most profound intimate love affair with yourself! Don’t wait for anyone or anything from the outer world to fill you, or complete you with love. It's not out there. You know this to be true. You know this love is within you and has been all along. This love breathes you. It is you! You can call off the search now, you're already home.
