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: Cry for Help while working with Tarot?Continue reading →

I need your insight on some odd experiences I've had. One night I was practicing reading tarot in my room when suddenly I heard a young girl's voice asking for help. I heard it from my window. This had also happened to me before when I was outside taking out the trash. Since then the voice has stopped, but I'm not sure what it was. Was it a neighbor's daughter playing a joke on me, or is there something here that I haven't figured out? Thank you for your time.

Dreamchaser:
Noberto, this was definitely a neighborhood child playing a trick on you. She thinks it is funny to watch people look around when she calls for help. You are not the only person she does this to. She has entirely too much time on her hands, and she is over-indulged. I think if they got her involved in things that kept her mind busy, she would stop playing pranks on the neighborhood. She is also the one who knocks or rings the bell and runs.
You DO have spirits living in your house with you, though. You actually have a man and a woman that were living together on that land. They are not attached to your home but to your land. There was water nearby when they were there. She liked to go down to the water and put her feet in and cool off. They had a child while they lived on that land. They were very happy there together and they share a deep love for each other.
Their story is quite sad in some ways. He went off to hunt or trap or find food. She stayed home, obviously. He did not come back. She waited for a couple of years. He never came back. Meanwhile, the neighboring landowner would come and check on her and the child. He would do the heavy work around the place for her when he could. He ended up wooing her slowly but surely, and they started a physical relationship. She was fond of him but she did not love him. He was kind to her and the child and that was important to her. They made a life together.
The child grew up and married and started her own life. The neighbor man died in some freak accident. That is when the woman started to have dreams of her dead husband. The long and the short of the story is that the neighbor killed the husband so that he could have the wife. When the wife discovered this, she was of course horrified. She could not believe that a man as kind as the neighbor had done such a horrible thing, but she "knew" that her husband was correct.
When she died, he was waiting for her and they resumed their life as it once was. That is why they now "haunt" the land where you live. They are still there doing their daily routines and loving each other. So if you feel energy around you, it could be one of them.
We all have MANY spirits living around us, we just usually do not know they are there. If you have pets, pay attention to them. They will always see what our eyes cannot. My cats often stare at or play with things that I cannot see.
I wish you vision BEYOND the veil that separates the two worlds.

We often get snippets of energy from people who are trying to cross over but are for some reason stuck on the earth plane. If we can locate that person, it is usually not hard to help them find their way to the Other Side. Since reading the Tarot and taking out the trash are two totally different events, I think that the voice you "heard" was a wayward Spirit who was trying to find her way "Home" back to Heaven. Since it only happened twice, it would seem that she went on her way shortly after asking for your help.
When a Spirit comes to us for help, it usually happens at random times, when our minds are not so cluttered with the other things we do daily. While you were reading your cards, you opened a channel to the Other Side, so that she could come through to you. When you "heard" her while you were taking out the trash, your mind was probably CLEAR of all other thought while you were performing that mundane task.
When you weren't able to "lock in" on her energy, she left and went somewhere else, looking for the help she needed to get where she wanted to go. If this begins to happen on a more regular basis for you, you should try to explore what kind of assistance is available in the area where you live to help these Spirits find their way "Home."
Of course, it could be that you opened a PERMANENT channel to ONE Spirit while reading the Tarot, and she just hasn't "tuned into you" enough to talk freely with you yet. Often, when I feel a lot of that kind of Energy around me, I check the obituaries in the newspaper to see if a child or a young person has died. Younger people seem to have the most difficult time realizing that they have left HERE and they need to be moving on to THERE. A life cut short by a sudden death can leave a young person in a Wandering Phase.
In many places throughout the world, there are groups that work that kind of Energy, helping restless Spirits get to the places they need to be going. Ask at metaphysical bookstores in your area to find out if such a group exists nearby. When you find these people, tell them of your experiences. I'm sure they will welcome someone who is sensitive to this kind of Energy. They probably will need all the help they can get! So many Spirits are lost and alone, with no idea how to travel or move on.
Whatever you decide to do about this gift, remember: it is a HUGE responsibility to try to help someone find the Light, and as with anything else, practice makes perfect.

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.
