ECLIPSE INFORMATION:

Eclipses are the universes attempt to balance us if we look at them in Metaphysics. In Metaphysical teachings we see the eclipses as an energy being BLOCKED so that

we can MORE clearly see within self and what our outside world is doing… …

But what are we seeing? In Solar eclipses we can see the past, as the SUN OR THE NOW is being eclipsed and in Lunar eclipses we more clearly see right now and what is in front of us.

as the Moon (the past) is being blocked

The advantage is that we are forced into a new way of looking at and seeing things in an eclipse. Eclipses reverberate for up to 6 months and usually have a theme.

Right now we are in the energy of the North node in Gemini Air, ideas and communication The South Node is in Sagittarius, Fire, truth freedom and justice

Looking at Eclipses in the language of Astronomy, a Lunar eclipse is a FULL moon always and it is a time when the Moon’s reflectivity becomes shielded by the Earth, which crosses through the path of sunlight. Since we are standing upon the earth the moon is blocked thus perhaps our unconscious motives and our past.

Since in Astrology the moon represents our emotions, nurturing or lack of them, past, past lives, and how we react from a gut level…. the Earth is the NOW, and the sun

is the light taking us to where our soul decides it needs to travel this incarnation.

At a lunar eclipse (June 4th) time daily matters represented by the Earth, align with the inspiring light of the Sun to override those instinctive emotional surges which normally come to us from the moon. Thus it oftentimes seems that our RIGHT NOW is right in front of our faces and our past recedes a bit and we are forced into seeing the

reality of the NOW:

May 20th 2012 NEW MOON Solar eclipse 0 degrees Gemini 4:47pm PDT

June 4, 2012 4:12am PDT FULL Moon Lunar eclipse with the sun at 14 degrees 14 minutes of Gemini and the Moon at 14 Degrees 14 minutes of Sagittarius: Sabian symbol for 14 Gemini is Two people, at widely different points, are in conversation with each other by means of telepathy.

and 14 Sagittarius : A vast panorama of sand and time is unfolding; the pyramids and sphinx in their glory rise before the eye. THIS speaks loudly to me about us rediscovering our own ancient and wise souls, and opening to communication and recognition that we MUST RECOGNIZE and HONOR differences.. Remember the 0 Gemini Mantra was: A glass bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders

So, perhaps, just perhaps this energy is going to allow us to really GROW UP into who we truly are spirit and soul wise, I am praying for us all that we can make the leap and these eclipses assist us on our path…Love and JOY and abundance in all good things to you all Love Carol

Wednesday May 16, 2012 ASTROLOGY UPDATE AT CRYSTAL VOYAGE   in Tacoma Washington Tonight

Today the moon in Aries really gets into some action as it touches on Uranus at 5:11am, Squares Pluto at 9:10am and we are off and away for a day of huge shifts, changes and more than a little bit of fate tossed in at us.

Mars the planet of action at 9:20am makes a happy aspect with Pluto and trying to control today and make it nice and orderly…well, I kind of doubt that is going to be too successful, be open to shifts, changes and miracles and try not to get your knickers in a knot if things have a mind of their own and it does not agree with yours today.

This is NOT A bad day, just a wild and wooly west day

- Kiss Experimentation and lively exchange

are part of this day as well as practicality; by

evening low key and trying to avoid arguments

should be our mission and this is a great night to open your mind

to new OPTIONS and recognize your magnificence

- Color today Blue for Clarity before you act

Or speak

- Red Jasper to me is one of the most protective stones and

is cheap and easy to find. Long worn by Shamans to protect themselves during travel (physical as well as Spiritual soul travel) This is a great balancing stones and we all need one of these stones.

- Oil of peace and calming, sage, or lavender

To calm and soothe us today. Action is good

But truly haste will make waste right now especially in the

Telling others how we think department

May 15, Tuesday.

I am home LATE today getting ready for the update tomorrow at CRYSTAL VOYAGE IN TACOMA: Hope you have signed up to come, there are MANY Interesting things we are going to be talking about.

At 4:59am the moon moves v/c after making an nice aspect with the sun and so the moon in Pisces is working well with the sun in Taurus for this v/c

then The Moon moves into Aries at 2:45 pm. Moon occults Pallas Athena (29 Aquarius) at 1:13 pm: Meaning that Pallas Athene, the intellect and the moon, emotions are a bit at odds today. use care with relationships and remember your ANIMAL TOTEM today.

THE Astrological BIGGIE IS Venus (24 Gemini) (the Sabian symbol is Gemini 24: Carefree children skating on ice…. Stations or in astrology speak looks like it STOPS in the sky at 7:33 am PDT. (I need to write an whole article on the GEMINI experience for us all through July 1st and will try and get that up on the site)*** after I return..

Venus retrograde always is a time when we reprocess what and WHO we want and HOW we are going to get what we want. With this in Gemini we have lots of options and shifts and changes coming and with VENUS MOVING ACROSS the face of the sun the day after the June 4th eclipse, this is a very unusual year for us all with tremendous possibilities and opportunities. Be open to Listening to your wise and ancient soul and also listening to the Voice of your spirit calling our more and more loudly, sit quietly and Listen and see what you hear.

- Kiss for today: Intuition awakens and we reconnect to

source if we are open

- Color today BRIGHT GREEN for bright healing

- Use Turquoise or Lapis Lazuli for spiritual connection

- Oil of Frankincense of course since this is one of the best oils to go beyond the

blood brain barrier and increase in the defense of the body against infection.

Monday May 14,

At 4:42am yesterday the moon entered the sign of Pisces, where we have some very interesting planets set up for the next few years. Neptune (visions, illusion, psychic powers, dreams) Merging with Chiron the wounded healer is trying to bring us into a more powerful connection with the body, mind spirit link, and today.

. The Moon conjuncts Chiron (9 Pisces) in the early morning hours.. The Moon is activating both Neptune and Chiron illuminating themes of shamanic healing that occur in the Celestial and the Underworld. This goes beyond our Middle World concepts of cellular and psychic healing. Keeping in mind the importance of alchemical healing within ourselves Neptune and Chiron are operating together to help facilitate deep healing at the cellular and DNA level literally creating or inventing a new operating system within our physiology.

Haven’t you noticed the shift lately with our bodies and how they are rebelling against pollutants, and certain foods and chemicals?

Today we are asked to move into a greater understanding of our own PERSONAL Power as 1:09am Mercury trines (a easy aspect) Pluto (Death , regeneration and rebirth) and we are offered PROUDOUND Dreams and ideas last night and today of what we can do to shift our bodies in this new world which seems already here for some.

For others, who are still struggling with this energy, recognize that when we are all united and begin to accept differences as GOOD rather than scary, then we are in the groove and we can then really change the world, but how can we do that without first changing ourselves?

- Color today pink for love, rose quartz for the same

- Oil of Lemon or tangerine to further increase joy

- Kiss for today, be Joyful, , be understanding

and be open to magic and watch the magic happen

when you slow down and move into the dream; and it

could be REALLY EASY to do today..…

- Another great stone for today would be Larimar which

has wonderful psychic connections. OR

RUTILATED QUARTZ the crystal with the gold

wands in it. THEY KIND OF CALM folks down But I would also use JET or agate to ground and center and if you are a stuck in the mud person, today will help UNSTICK you…

I personally absolutely love TOURMALATED QUARTZ Which has black tourmaline wands in it and is protective and blocks negativity and BLOCKS energy..

But some of you probably do not want BLOCKS do you?

Have you visited my website to see what some of these stones I write about look like?

http://www.magicalgemswithcarolastro.com

You are welcome to shop, but you are also welcome to go see, the stones and read a bit more about the energies, and please visit the AMULETS and see the BLACK DRAGONS as 2012 is the Chinese new year of the BLACK WATER DRAGON READ and enjoy and when I get back I will post the stones for May, with me being gone I really did not want to have folks shopping the website and me not there to assist you.

Animal totem for this week is one which makes total sense to me with all this shifting energy about ideas and maybe others having different opinions than ourselves right now, the Totem Card I pulled was Fox Totem Medicine Teaches Us When fox comes to you to share its spiritual medicine, it is giving you a sign that you should observe the acts of others instead of the words they use. Use the cunning nature of the fox to keep silent about who, what, and why you are observing. Learn the art of camouflage, pay attention, stay a bit low key and recognize that you are learning quite a bit this week by Observing

TAROT CARD FOR YOUR WEEK IS the HIEROPHANT

Law Holy Respect Ceremony Knowledge

Tradition Conformity

This week There may be situations that come up that cause us to struggle with questions of major significance. We may be forced to examine our own values and belief systems. The Hierophant encourages us to find freedom through knowledge and exploration. He may indicate that it is a good time for us to seek counsel from someone who is more experienced.

The Hierophant is the bridge between our outer perceptions and our inner world of spirit. He is there to offer his wisdom and can be an adviser of truth. In essence, he represents man’s search for meaning. (I Never read the cards different when they are upside down but drew this 3 times upside down)*** which I am going to have to say means that many of us may be struggling this next week with the above.. and

Considering what these words Law Holy Respect Ceremony Knowledge

Tradition and Conformity really mean to us.

This card represents a desire for structure based upon inner wisdom rather than worldly energy…and it REALLY insisted on coming forth for all of us as a lesson this week…Oh well, who is to argue with fate?

******************************************************************

My tiny bit of wisdom for the week, long ago I learned how incredibly difficult it was just to change Myself, and that led pretty much to a decision that very likely I was not going to be able to change others, and wow, did that make life easier

Sunday May 13, Happy Mother’s Day.

The Moon moves into Pisces at 4:42 am and conjuncts Neptune (3 Pisces) at 10:25 am. The Sun and Jupiter (23 Taurus) are conjunct exactly at 6:24 am. (A conjunction is planets mixing their energies, Taurus wanting stability, Pisces wanting the enter the void where all is possible, mixing these 2 today you could create GOLD from nothing or even imagine something and make it happen.

Keep thought thoughts and visions POSITIVE TODAY please… We end the day with some nice aspects towards communication and transformation and maybe you had a wonderful Mothers day as we have our last time in 12 years when the SUN IN TAURUS

Touches Jupiter in Taurus. Jupiter moves to Gemini on the 11th of next month and the BALL GAME is firmly established in the COURT of anything is possible Gemini.

- Color today white for purity of vision for your future

- Use oil of Release to let go of that past junk

- I shall use CITRINE for clarity and clearing (this is the only

stone which automatically cleans and clears itself of negativity)

and known as the merchant’s stone…get some today… (I have a pair of

Smoky quartz and citrine earrings I always wear as I write to funnel out

negativity and allow more positive vibes in…

- Kiss for the rest of your life… yesterday is a memory, tomorrow

is a vision, today is what will create that vision for tomorrow…

by what you say, feel and think you create your future

KISS is keep it simple sweetie you know….

Saturday May 12,.

The Aquarius Last Quarter Moon (22 Aquarius) is exact at 2:47 pm PDT meaning that we are now 1/2 of the way to the major eclipse on the 20th. We now have one more week of releasing and letting go energy before we begin to really crank out our new life changing aspects of the NEW MOON Eclipse at 0 Degrees of Gemini .

There are Sabian symbols and as astrologers we look at them for major events and 0 Gemini is GEMINI which is Air, Mutable and the ENDING of spring

Gemini 0 to 1:degree of Gemini: A glass bottomed boat reveals undersea wonders.

What this means in English is that we are going to be much more able to SEE underwater, emotions, feelings, and very probably understand ourselves and others better, this does not mean we will agree, just that visions and options will become much more available. Where is 0 Gemini in your chart?

Today we have squares from 2:47pm until 5:13pm indicating that many of you are trying to do too much and perhaps finding some frustration as the moon would like you to tune out and have fun, while the sun and Jupiter want you to make hay while the sun shines.

At 5:52pm the moon moves v/c but before that a nice aspect with Venus (what we want and an timed out aspect of the moon and Saturn means that many of you will be much more open tonight to listening to others opinions and also with Saturn there is always the option of CONTROL issues, so avoid that and you will have a great v/c and a GREAT Saturday:

- Kiss for today is, keep it clear, and keep it simple

when dealing with others and especially yourself

- Color today Orange for creativity or RED for passion

- Garnets are energetically much like RUBY, they are get up and go

stones which help us know we CAN DO IT, I think this stone helps us commit to a path so I always do intentions before wearing it..

- Use oil of release and using sage or smudge

Would be wonderful today.

I have ordered lots of garnets and rubies and they are posted

on

http://www.magicalgemswithcarolastro.com meanwhile you can go

to the website and read about the powerful energy of RED: and begin to recognize the POWER OF yourself with RED, get a scarf, jewelry, something to remind you to anchor yourself into your POWER and your passions.

Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself. Chinese proverb

Friday May 11,. 2012

The Moon is entering Aquarius at 10:03 Pm PDT last night set us up for some real shifts of energy and probably of ideas, so at 5;12am the moon in Aquarius desiring freedom and the ability to be and do as we choose, squares Mercury in Stable Taurus and begins a 48 hour passage where our emotions (the moon) wants one thing and the other planets in the sky want another thing for us.

As always YOU RULE, remember that Taurus energy wants stability and security and to HAVE while Aquarius energy is more concerned about being than having, both are good in moderation so that is our key today and tomorrow.

10:33am a nice aspect with Uranus (change) makes this day a bit of (lets leave early and just leave this for another time) type of day. GET out early and enjoy this great eye opening and mind expanding energy tonight if possible:

We might expect others to not go by the rules and do as we would

like today. Rid yourself of expectations and you will have a great

day, expect others to behave as you would…and you are going to f not perhaps be the happiest of campers.

- Color today pink for love, rose quartz for the same

- Oil of Lemon or tangerine to further increase joy

- Kiss for today, be open and watch the magic happen

when you slow down and move into the dream

- A great stone for today would be Larimar which

has wonderful psychic connections. I personally

LOVE RUTILATED QUARTZ the crystal with the gold

wands in it.

TOURMALATED QUARTZ has black tourmaline wands in it and is protective and blocks negativity and BLOCKS energy..

*****************************************************

Thursday May 10,

With the may shifting from Capricorn to v/c at 12:11pm and not into Aquarius until 10:03pm tonight we have a very interesting v/c :

Let me personalize this on how one can use v/c. Since I know I am on the road and needing to arrive at my motel at 3pm today at the ocean. I shall leave before the v/c at 12:11pm and be well on the road. Expecting that things may not go my way with the square at 12:11pm ruling the v/c. Expecting the unexpected and being open to not controlling circumstances are our tasks today, and like you, I oftentimes am doing things in not the best time.

So, be open to shifts, do not attempt to control others, be really wide awake and paying attention 3pm PDT as Mercury and Neptune come in to give us some really psychic insights, pay attention to your feelings and intuition and today will maybe not go OUR way, but it could bring us much better events than we expected.

Sleep well tonight as dreams should be quite vivid and with Mercury is 2 Taurus, Vesta is 4 Taurus, Ceres is 12 Taurus, Sun is 2 Taurus and Jupiter is 22 Taurus preparing the way for the Solar Eclipse on May 20. With so many planets in Taurus wanting stability and the moon shifting to somewhat freedom loving Aquarius expect tomorrow to be challenged and if you rise to the challenge you are laughing at life and getting ready for a fun weekend, not sweating the small stuff, but being open to miracles of the universe.

- Use Turquoise the stone of the shaman, teacher and protector

- Oil of Oil of purity and renewal. Pine, fir, frankincense,

or maybe how about the YOUNG LIVING OIL ABUNDANCE? -

- Color today white for purity of vision and just go ahead

And get it done today and get it over with

TODAY I take the advice of Thoreau and am gone for the next week at the OCEAN:

Do what’s important first. As Thoreau suggested, “Live deep and suck out all the marrow out of life.” The trick, of course, is to make every moment count before it is your last one. One of the gifts of facing death is to gain the appreciation of life. Many people who have been given a terminal diagnosis shift their life to enjoy every moment so richly that their disease disappears.

***********************************************************

Wednesday May 9th

The Moon is occulting Pluto (9 Capricorn) for the first time this year at 10:33 am.PDT This is not visible without a high powered telescope if viewing from Antarctica. With the moon as Emotions and in Capricorn and the energy of Pluto, death, regeneration and rebirth this could be a significant day for the planet and you personally on many levels

this morning at 6:32am a square to Uranus sets us up for being open to change today, then 6L59am a trine to Mars, creates good actions, providing you have thought them out a bit before taking action

Tonight if all goes as planned (and things seem to rarely be doing that lately) I shall be sleeping in Portland Oregon and on the way to the beach in the am.

Sometimes to get through you just have to KEEP ON GOING: Which will be our kiss (keep it simple Sweetie for today)

- Color Yellow for joy

- Use Golden Citrine for an UPPER stone

If you are feeling a bit down from some of

This rather intense energy

- I am using RELEASE and peace and calming in the car driving

And also working with some new oils which

Are all about purification and will take them with me for sure, if you have questions about oils while I am gone, or even when I am here, please contact

asksharonbrigance@comcast.net but she does have some big stuff going on this week, so be patient it may be a couple of days before she can get back to you.
