SEPTEMBER ASTROLOGICAL UPDATE

by Marci McCaffery

On August 28th,  our energies shift as the Sun and Venus align with the New Moon in the earthy sign of Virgo. Many natives of this sign possess a fondness for health, order, routine, precision and attention to detail. Mercury, the traditional ruler of Virgo, provides a keen ability to analyze, dissect and assimilate life through the mind of perfection. Although this sign is frequently labeled  as “the critic,” Virgo does its best work through humble service to others, including pets.
Highlights for the month include a fortunate alignment between Jupiter and Venus as they headline the beginning of the month. Jupiter, the planet of good fortune, expansion, and opportunity, slows down, as it reverses its motion in retrograde from Aug. 30th until Dec. 25th.  Our thoughts turn inward as we deepen our ability to expand and grow in consciousness. We are advised to embrace a higher vision of possibilities in order to expand.
Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn, form a Grand Earth trine with the New Moon as it conjoins with Venus and later on with Mercury in Virgo. An easy flow of energies provide great support to help us release and transform our own inner critic. We will finally be able to balance, realign and feel more integrated and self-accepting.  As we appreciate who we are, we are more inclined to accept others. Chiron in Pisces opposing the Sun, Moon and Venus in Virgo suggests that the best way to make a difference in the lives of others is through compassionate service.

The Harvest Full Moon at 20 Pisces, on September 12th, reminds us that “Life is not what we see, but what we have projected.” The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon implies that we are collectively heading toward a new frontier. “We will be given what we need to reach our destination”.
On September 16th, Pluto completes its five month retrograde cycle, unblocking and releasing any negative energy we may have stored since last April.  On September 18th
 Mars moves out of Cancer into Leo, inspiring confidence and creativity for the next eight weeks.  The Fall Equinox, known as the Autumnal Equinox, arrives on September 23rd, marking the end of summer. This is the time of year when day and night are equal. On that same day, Mercury, the planet of communication, moves out of Virgo to take its position in the sign of Libra.  This is an excellent placement for resolving relationship issues, negotiating contracts and handling legal disputes.

UFOs AND THEIR SPIRITUAL MISSION

with Ron Liggett, of Share International

Sunday, Sept 11, 2pm – 3pm, Free Presentation

• Unprecedented numbers of UFO sightings all over the world
• Huge crop circles appearing overnight
• Brilliant luminary objects shining in the sky

What does it all mean? Is there a relationship between these events and the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher into our every day world?

Come see a multimedia presentation and draw your own conclusion… Call 303-758-9113 to reserve your seat.

by the Master —, through Benjamin Creme, 11 June 2011   ~~”When the history of this unique time is written, men will realize, perhaps for the first time, how important, how central, have been the recent events in the Middle East. In an astonishing six months, following the example of the people of Tunisia and Egypt, the inhabitants of many Middle Eastern countries, subdued, and locked into centuries-old tribal dictatorial regimes, have risen and demanded their right to freedom and democracy, to social justice and work. What media call ‘the Arab Spring’ is costing many lives and much suffering for these courageous people who die willingly for freedom for their brothers and children. They are called, and are indeed, martyrs.”

“From now on, this same phenomenon will manifest throughout the world. Already, many peoples are organizing themselves to do likewise. A blueprint for change has caught the imagination of many millions and soon will command the attention of the world. Men have understood that, when organized and brave, they are invincible. Nothing can halt this movement for change. It embodies the concepts of the future and of the Plan. Maitreya has given it voice, which is now the voice of the peoples of the world.”

THE ULTIMATE PHYSICAL ATOM

by Bruce Johnson

Occultism defines the atom as a vortex or nucleus of life, encased within a sheath of matter. Atoms, also called life-atoms, can be accurately described as bubbles of force within the Akashic Ocean of energy. Each atom is a miniature life of living substance, with its two poles expressing magnetic and electrical forces.
To understand the life- atom, we must study its qualities. The following list includes 12 characteristics common to all physical atoms.

1-Every atom has divine life flowing through its core.

2-Each atom is triple in nature, containing and radiating three fires or forces. These three forces manifest as different types of motion within the atom. These three fires of the atom correspond to the energies of will, love, and active intelligence, and the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow respectively.

3-All atoms rotate on their axis at a certain speed, vibrate at a certain frequency, and as a result, sound their own note.

4-Every atom is a sepentary entity that manifests on seven planes of existence.

5-An atom is divisible into sub-atoms which number 14,000 million archetypal atoms. These sub-atoms are again subject to division, ad infinatum.

6-Physical atoms are divided into two basic types, male and female.

7-Atoms are spheroidal in shape, with the top of sphere slightly flattened, and the bottom slightly pointed.

8-The spheroidal shape of the atom is its ring-pass-not, and defines the periphery of the atom’s influence.

9-Atoms as tiny invisible lives are evolving and have the potential of developing self-consciousness.

10-The atom has three major spirals and seven lesser spirals within itself, and expresses both centrifugal and centripetal forces.

11-Magnetism affects the atom’s inner subjective life, while electricity influences the atom’s outer objective form.

12-All physical forms are aggregations of individual life- atoms.

Occultism teaches that the atom and the soul are synonymous terms, and that human souls, planets, and solar systems, are simply macrocosmic atoms. The book Occult Chemistry, by Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater goes into greater depth concerning the nature of the atom.
The physicists at the University of Colorado at Boulder working on atom-smashing might find the nature of the ultimate physical atom a bit of a surprise.

Bruce Johnson has over 30 years of study in the fields of Ancient Wisdom and occultism. He has taught classes on a wide range of topics, from Atlantis to mediums to Zoroaster. He is also a spiritualist minister, with a background in spiritual astrology. He lives in Colorado with his wife and their cat.

Originally based in Norse mythology, the Futhark Runes are a classic system for divination and magickal energy work. These mysterious symbols each represent aspects of nature and the world we live in. By learning their individual meanings, they can be used to gain insight into questions, discover deeper wisdom within, and be used to help bring about positive changes in ones life.

Living Magick’s Runes Learning Cards help to do just that in a simple “flash card” deck. Each card bears one of the Rune symbols on one side and its meanings & associations on the other. There are 25 runes in all, including the more modern addition of the “Wyrd” or “Blank” rune.

Each card provides the following information for the specific symbol: The name of the rune; The pronunciation; The theme or concept represented; Keywords & Phrases it relates to; The reversed meaning (for those runes that have one); Types of magickal working the rune is appropriate for.

Use these cards to by themselves or in connection with a set of clay, stone, or other runes to perform readings or “castings” as they are properly called. Eliminate the need to refer back and forth to a book with the meanings right on the card! You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can learn to interpret the symbols and become very proficient with this system.

There are 55 cards in this deck including the flash cards and several text cards to explain how to use them, how runes relate to divination, how to cast the runes, etc. They are large (3.75 by 5.25 inches), printed on heavy stock for durability, with large text for easy readability. They come in a sturdy box with a lift off cover for storage.
