- Astrology, Humanity and the CoronavirusContinue reading →by Kaliyani SundariWhat could the present microcosmic war against a virus have to do with Babylonia, Sumerian history and the beginning of the establishment of a new world consciousness and order? Our current cosmic planetary and stellar alignments are pointing to what's possibly the rarest of parallels between our present and our ancient past. Could we use this subtle sign post in natural law to assist us in navigating and transitioning from our current chaotic, vulnerable and unstable global condition? This is an attempt to doing just that and planting the seed for further exploration.As soon as we began this new 2020 year, around mid January, a unique and very much talked about conjunction between the planets Saturn and Pluto also happened, while in the shadows, lured the beginning of a viral infection that slowly built its way into our current pandemic. Aside from all challenging circumstances it has brought, it's important to become aware that, on the other hand, our precious mother Earth, our beloved Terra-Gaia home, is certainly breathing better and deeply detoxifying, simply because us humans, her unconscious children, are now on lockdown and thus locked out of our toxic affairs, factories, cars, etc. Let's take a moment to really take this in.Saturn in astrology is loosely referred to as a "malefic" planet, together with Mars and sometimes Pluto. Though such a term can be misleading at times, it denotes that these planets, especially Saturn and Pluto are powerful catalysts for our most painful growing lessons and transformation. Saturn represents Time, Karma, Restrictions, Structures, Law, Government, Discipline, Responsibility, Obligation, and Ambition. Pluto represents Power, Death, Rebirth, Transformation, Exorcism and Evolution; and has often been throughout history found to be inherently involved at times of war.Jupiter, though usually considered a Benefic planet, representing Luck, Growth, Expansion, Optimism, Abundance, Understanding, Travel, Learning, and Teaching; when associated with this duo of Saturn and Pluto, it can become an amplifier for all other things, at least on the surface, apparently not so great.Saturn had been in Capricorn, its ruling sign, thus in its full strength and exalted, since December of 2017 and Jupiter had entered Capricorn just this past December of 2019, when on January of this 2020 year, Pluto, which had been there since 2008, and Saturn, met at the same exact degree, forming the long anxiously awaited conjunction. This was also about the time when the first viral infections, even though unbeknownst to most, began to appear. By mid-March they were all 10 degrees of each other and by then, the pandemic had started to become a conscious global reality. If that were not enough, Mars and the Moon joined the stellium, however, on March 21-22, "luckily", Saturn moved temporarily into Aquarius for a short time where it will stay for around 3 months, until July 1st, while Jupiter, expanding Plutonian energies will remain in Saturn's sign of Capricorn.Could Saturn's temporary move out of Capricorn mean we're being given a chance to integrate and process its karmic impact from January to March, so we could gain a little more perspective on how to handle the future when it returns? Possibly! Come July, Saturn will retrograde back to join Pluto and Jupiter again in Capricorn for the whole Summer, and beginning in October, all of them will be moving forward together, this time closer, only 6 degrees from each other, until mid December 2020.Even though these two planets, Saturn and Pluto, conjunct in average every 33-34 years - 3 times per century - they do it in different signs, and the last time they were conjunct in Saturn's own sign of Capricorn, maximizing its potency, it was just for a few brief months in the late fall of the pre-historic year of 1894 BCE ! Looking at what was happening then, that was a time when the ancient city of Babylon was established by the amorite King, Samu Abum. In the following few decades that followed, a new establishment took its roots, and during King Hammurabi's empire, a whole new order established itself, which consequences, to this day, for better or worse, still affects and influences us.However, though similar, our current astrological confluences are, believe it or not, much more unique than that. Unlike our Babylonian counterpart's astrological aspects, in which Saturn left Capricorn before Jupiter transited Pluto, our current conjunction between Saturn, Pluto and Jupiter in the sign of Capricorn, is so extraordinarily unique that, in addition to the fact that it'll last almost an entire year, such astrological configuration in Capricorn has actually never occurred until now for 6,594 years! That's right. This circumstance we are in may have only had a similar parallel in early pre-history circa 4,500 BCE !What can the relationship between that time in pre-history and today be? Can we draw a parallel and attempt to gain clarity, even if in a broad sense, as to what we could be facing at this point in time?Looking back around 6,500 years ago, that places us pre-historically around the Ubaid period of Mesopotamia. The Ubaid period is still very shrouded in mystery as they are seen as a more advanced people that were the original settlers of the region of Sumer, but were not the same people we came to later call Sumerians.Â"The first settlers were not Sumerians but a people of unknown origin whomÂarchaeologists have termed the Ubaid people - from the excavated mound of al-Ubaid whereÂthe artifacts were uncovered which first attested to their existence - or the Proto-ÂEuphrateans which designates them as earlier inhabitants of the region of the EuphratesÂRiver.  Whoever these people were, they had already moved from a hunter-gatherer societyÂto an agrarian one prior to 5000 BCE". (Ref. Ancient History Encyclopedia)Who came later? Who were these people that changed everything from what it was and reshaped us to whom we are today as a race?Regardless of who they were, from a wide perspective, looking that far back at the place which we refer to be the beginning of your civilized history, in Sumerian pre-historical translations, we will find both the beginning of the establishment of Kingship and that of the first institutionalized religions, beginning with Judaism, which is intrinsically connected to the establishment of Kingship in the Sumero-Akkadian periods, giving rise to the old testament, soon followed by the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church and later Islamism. Together, we can see that these past events point to what can be viewed as the culprits of the early Patriarchal establishment.The Kings were considered to be the middle-men between those ancient alien gods, possibly a demiurge, and the management of the Earthlings. Did such "astronaut" gods leave precise instruction as to what should the new establishment be and how it should be established? Or did their local representatives distort their directives to fit some other agenda?Regardless, since then, what we have witnessed is the growing abuse of power in religious institutions and governments exploiting their people; blunt white-male supremacy, the brutal repression and enslavement of women and non-white people, the rivalry between nations and the establishment of war. In sum, what we have been witnessing over a few millennia, is the establishment of an energetically and spiritually obscure kingdom of Earth-Damaging-Narcissistic-Greed, which is slowly corroding the fabric of all that we deem most sacred. As a curious thought, if we were to look at its energetic acronym, EDNGR, it reveals in code the hidden message: Endanger. Curious coincidence?! The kingdom of Endanger, In Danger, EdenAnger, End the Anger...?I wonder, could we be about to be visited by some other sky "gods"?If Saturn represents Karma, could these beings be coming to help humanity reverse this dire social-economic trend and decrepit state of morals and consciousness? Could we be witnessing the beginning of a Kaliesque chopping of ego-heads necessary to end this cursory path and shift us towards a much more benign fate?I choose to believe that things can't possibly head in any worse direction than we have been now for a long while, so why not imagine the best outcome of all possibilities?Regardless of what may ultimately happen, I strongly recommend that we tighten our seatbelts and put our helmets on, as it looks like we may be on for a rough landing into a new reality, in which, I envision we may have to (happily) dump our Fossil fuel mid-air and open the luggage compartment to leave all that old baggage behind.May Spirit bless us all, and this new world we are about to be birthed into.May the shock of this landing serve to awaken us to a greater spiritual reality so that we may begin to understand the importance of becoming true allies to one another in stewarding the nurturing and protection of this magnificently beautiful planet home and learn the true meaning of LOVE for the first time.                                                                  ~*~By Kaliyani SundariAll copyrights reservedKaliyani Sundari is a Spiritually Inspired Visionary and a passionate midwife to the rebirth of the Sacred Feminine in our global conscience today.

- Double Vision: When you Make a Big Mess of ThingsContinue reading →
Recently I jumped to a conclusion concerning a friend that I had just asked out on a date. After she said that she'd call me back, I assumed that since she was my friend, she would, but she didn't. Later that night I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk to tire myself out, and I found her car parked in front of a guy's house. (I know who this guy is.) After that I blew up because I assumed the worst possible things and I didn't care. I understand that I made a mess of things by blowing up at her, but I felt that I was justified. Now I just want to repair what has happened, and no matter what I try to do (meditation exercises, distraction, distancing myself) I can't get what I did or her out of my mind. Am I wrong to feel this way? I want to have her friendship in one form or another, but how can I fix something that was completely my fault when she won't give me a second chance?

Dreamchaser:
Jamie, I hate to be the bearer of "bad" news, but people do NOT have to give us second chances. I'm sure everyone has begged someone else for a second chance and received the blow off at some point.
The reason for this is FREE WILL. We are each given FREE WILL when born into human form. As a result, there will be times that we really think we know what is best for ourselves or someone else, but people will not listen to us.
This is not the first time you blew up around her. This is not the first time that she's felt your wrath (in one form or another). She does not want to deal with that and she does not have to. Her free will allows her to make that choice. Now as her friend, you have to respect that decision and leave her alone. If she wants to contact you, she knows how to go about doing so.
You cannot force someone to love you. You also cannot force someone to forgive you. She chose not to take it past friendship. I know you think that she would be good for you, especially at your current stage in life, but she has the right to choose what she wants in her life, and no matter what you feel, you have to respect her right to choose.
As much as you are going to hate hearing this, you have to trust that some higher power has a better understanding of what you need in your life. I know this is an old cliche, but it REALLY does stand true:
When one door closes, another one opens.
You need to take some time to work through the issues that her "rejection" of a date (but NOT of your friendship) sparked, along with your discovery of her car at someone else's house and everything else that transpired. You are striking into some very deep and painful scars. These scars go way back to previous lifetimes, but in this life, go back as far as your early childhood. You are dealing with issues of abandonment, betrayal, and a fear of being unloved. All of those lead to feelings of inadequacy. If you deal with them now, you will come out of this stronger, with better understanding of yourself and why you react to women the way you do.
You are a wonderful person and will have the love you are looking for. You will look back on this particular woman and swipe your forehead and say, "Whew. I'm glad that did not work out. I am SO much happier now than I think I could have been with her." I know you cannot see that now because you are too close to be objective, but the day WILL come.
I wish you a swift "education."

Yes, this is a big mess, and you're right, you have only yourself to blame.
I hope someday the girl sees that you're not dangerous and that she CAN be your friend again. It will take you a long time to get her to trust you, and a lot of hard work on your part. If you really want to make up with this girl, be ready to work at it, and be ready to be PATIENT, too!
The night this happened, you asked her on a date and she said she would call you back - but she didn't. That would indicate that she didn't want to go out on a date with you, and for the time being, you should have left things the way they were. By following her around and losing your temper, you have ruined any chance with her for a long time. She's seen you out of control, and she REALLY doesn't want to go out with you now.
The first step in repairing your friendship, if you can, is for you to realize that what you did was WRONG; there was no good reason for you to lose your temper because she was visiting someone else's house. YOU COULD have been angry with her for not calling you back, but you overreacted and took things over the top.
You had absolutely NO BUSINESS walking by "this guy's" house that you "know about." If you were really walking to "tire yourself out," you would head in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION, where you wouldn't be tempted to check up on where she was. This was something that might be considered STALKING in some places. You're lucky that you weren't arrested!
Then you lost your temper because you "assumed the worst." Whatever she was doing with him wasn't any of your business. You think it's okay because you felt "justified" at the time? I can't figure out why you would think that you had any say about that girl's whereabouts, who she sees or what she's doing, since she is just a friend and you weren't even dating.
I know you have apologized to her over and over (that is, if she'll speak to you at all.) Now you have to LEAVE HER ALONE until she is ready to talk to you again.
It's very important that you try to PUT YOURSELF IN HER PLACE and understand what she is feeling now. Trying to apologize more will only make her more afraid of you. You can't MAKE her forgive you any more than you could MAKE her date you before this happened.
I'm sure if this girl is really your friend, she'll forgive you after some time has passed. What I hope you LEARN from this experience is that you shouldn't be trying to control someone else's actions.
Astrea:
Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.
Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!
While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!
I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!
As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.
I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.
You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!
Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.
A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.
You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
