Core Matters ~ December 2, 2010

Venus inched back into Scorpio where she retrograded back in early October. Officially, she clears the shadow - or past the point where she began backing up - on the 20th. Missed opportunities or deals that feel through, it’s time to get back at them. A touch of perseverance on this side of a planet’s motion might just produce the polish required to get the project into the perfect light. When Venus stationed, she was aligned with a most unusual black hole, APR 220. Unusual because black holes gobble up light. Here, the devouring consumption of this black hole heats the atmosphere and emanates radiation making it the brightest object in our local group. Go figure. But on the 20th as she clears the shadow and aligns with this potent black hole. Look out for shiny objects, glowing opportunities and shimmering chances. Not all of them can be mirages. Some require immediate engagement on your part. Pick and choose only the ones you need and/or can carry.


More immediately and occurring over the next days we have the continuation of the annual parade of personal planets over the Galactic Center or Galactic Core. This year the parade is intensified by the addition of Mars’s conjunction to the GC and soon the crossing of the lunar node to the GC. Typically in December or thereabouts the Sun, Mercury and Venus meet up with the Galactic Center. This year, the latter planet takes her sweet time catching up on the heels of regaining full speed following her recent retrogradation. Added to this amazing pot of transits, soon Jupiter and Uranus form an awareness-producing, solution-rendering square to the Galactic Center. It’s time for paring into core matters.


A note about transits to the GC: below the exact dates of alignment are given, relative to SGR A, a radio source assigned as the core of the GC, presumably the point of the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy. In fact, the breadth of the GC in the sky could be as wide as a degree and a half or more, depending upon what one includes and what radiation spectrum is measured. So the pinpointing is a bit academic, perhaps silly. Given the transits detailed below, you can figure at least five days of influence either side for the Sun, Mercury and Venus. Mars receives a week to ten days of influence and the lunar node passage to the GC can last weeks.


Mercury made direct contact to GC last Saturday. It’s not too late to capture ideas that stirred your grey matter. How? Take some time out to sit in stillness and capture all those ideas. Often asking a rhetorical question (definitely not a personal concern) works well. Formulate the first viable step you can take given today’s resources that can make that idea come into some level of reality. No doubt some lament the upcoming Mercury retrograde commencing on December 10th. No doubt online orders of holiday presents will endure their challenges. But consider that if you cannot recollect the exact context of recent ideas, you get a refresh from Mercury retrograde back to the GC on December 20th, which insists that ideas reclaimed be put into place not later than the last passage of Mercury to the GC in this cycle on January 10th.


Mars compares longitudinal position with the GC during the next fifteen hours (from the release of this GT). Whatever cosmic and conscious stirring you realize as the nagging “somebody’s got to do this” voice inside your head for the past week to ten days, needs active attention. Any start up activity that you have the resources to presently conduct, do. Hesitate not. The thing with the GC is that if you linger, wondering how crazy or too far out of left field your idea may be, someone else will also dip into the collective consciousness, grab the idea and run with it. It is a bit of a galactic gold rush, really. The ideas circulating potentially contain great, innovative, world changing, consciousness-shifting, progress-making potential. While not the goal, the proponent of such ideas receives the mundane benefits of being courageous enough to dip into the cosmic pools and drink up the insight.


Come December 18th, the Sun makes it annual passage to the GC. Here, GC insights need to be identified as yours. Speak up if someone claims what you said as their own. It’s about “branding” to use today’s marketing term that actually goes back to livestock rustling days.


As next year begins, wide spread receptivity to change presumably exists. This is not the kind of change that politicians tout that only supports invocation of their narrow agenda. This kind of change is evolutionary, progressive, sky scraping, earth enhancing. This receptivity occurs because of two major pattern replays from this past year, both occurring within the first three days of the New Year.


Fresh out of 2011's gate on January 2nd, Uranus square the Galactic Core, adding exuberance and receptivity to the progressive vibes coming down the pike. Yes it should be exciting. But to make the energy more than titillating some harnessing and useful application shall be required.


January 3rd Jupiter reaches the Galactic Center also through quarter circle angle. Make sure ideas makes sense in your own head first. Ensure the idea appeals to the greater good, progress of the planet and helps humankind in its current plight. Then, talk it good, carefully observing reactions. More progressive minded folks jump on straightaway. The more cautious, cynical, skeptical and fearful make take time to warm up to valid innovations. They do not need to be pushed. Get the needed backing and the more consciousness conservative folk join in when they do. The key to invoking change consists of establishing a secure foothold while do the best to alienate no coinhabitant of the planet.


Given the idea has been captured, initiated and called your own, you’ll be ready for Venus to the GC early next year on February 1st. With a valid plan, prototype, progress in progress and a clearly refined pitch, you possess the credibility to reach out to sources that hold the missing piece: resource. Resource can mean someone with a technical or engineering skill you do not possess, funding to bring a project to healthy fruition, marketing expertise, or any means required for what you attempt to accomplish in a time efficient manner. Be not shy. Those who go tentative and apologetic about presenting important concepts may fall behind.


The short term karmic/dharmic result comes along on March 31st as the lunar node crosses the center point of the Galactic Center complex. Within this pattern, a cause and effect culmination is likely for those who tracked along.


The short flow schematic. Grab ideas > apply energy of initiation > develop awareness of what is in progress and claim it > cultivate a presentation of any meritorious idea, pitch a concept, show a mock up or reveal the blueprint > following lingers the realization of the mission statement of the original idea. It just might be that ideas live a life of its own and it may take a month or two for blooming.
