Rare Astrology: All Planets Are Moving Direct From December 25th to January 6th

astrologyBeginning December 25th, 2015 with Uranus stationing direct, all major planets in our solar system will be moving direct/forward.

Stephanie Forest, who is the first known astrologer to officially recognize this astrological phenomenon, has created a hub for all astrologers and followers of astrology to communicate on their perspectives on the upcoming All Planets in Direct Motion cycle.

Stephanie states, “Now, here in this moment, from our geo-centric view, our entire solar system, moving together, in the same direction, like a flowing cosmic river, all traveling towards this one direction.  From the position of the Sun or Earth’s perspective, All Planets in Direct Motion represents an organic, holistic, synchronous, harmonious group passage through the endless universe.“

Why crows hold funerals for their dead

There's an unusual but known behavior among crows, that they gather around the bodies of their dead. A crow dead on the street or in a field will be surrounded by a few to a dozen or more crows, all seeming to contemplate their fallen comrade. The notion of crow funerals has been documented but not necessarily understood, so University of Washington biologists Kaeli Swift and John Marzluff decided to create experiments to find out what exactly is happening.

If you've ever read about experiments with crow behavior, you'll know the experiments often involve researchers wearing incredibly creepy masks. Crows learn to recognize individual faces and teach their offspring who (or what) to be concerned about. And because crows have a long memory, a researcher could be disliked by local crows for decades. To avoid a long-running feud, the Washington research volunteers donned masks. They also wore signs that explained that the exercise was all part of a crow study. (The signs were for humans, of course, not the crows, but not a bad idea: Along with the creepy masks, researchers carried around a dead crow. The things researchers do for science...)

Love In Practice: Communicating With Care In Your Heart

In all communication, there is one thing that each and every one us requires. We all want to be appreciated, honoured, and respected. None of us want to feel criticized, rejected, ignored, or manipulated. To reduce it to its simplest terms, we each want to feel loved. I do not mean love in a romantic sense, or some outpouring of emotion, but simple caring. This is the universal bottom line of every human relationship. We all want to feel cared for.

If each of us would like to be treated with care and respect, then it should be our intent to do so for others. But what often happens is the exact opposite. Instead of trying to ensure that the other person feels loved and appreciated, we end up in a vicious circle of recrimination and attack.

It usually starts by our feelings hurt over something someone said or did. Whether they intended to hurt us or whether it is all our own creation does not matter. The fact is we feel hurt, and if we are not fully conscious of our own inner processes, we are likely to defend ourselves by attacking back in some way. It’s not the most noble or wisest response, nevertheless that is the way us less-than-enlightened folk sometimes react.

False Promises

God said:

What is this that rises in you, and you feel as if you are an innocent victim of your own choices? You justify actions and inactions with excuses. You couldn't help it. If someone hadn’t hurt your image of yourself, you would be calm. You would be glad to be calm. The peace of calmness is the choice of champions. Excuses are not.

No one makes you do anything. Another human being isn't an excuse for your action or inaction. It may be you made a quick decision without seeing squarely that you yourself made a choice that was not imposed on you. It comes back to you, dear ones. You choose to do as you say, or you choose to forgo your stated promise.

Premeditated or not, you dropped the ball. Except for this and that, you would have been true to your word. Nevertheless, no one made you renege. It may have been against your will to be less than perfect in the world. However, you may say you are too busy. Naturally, being too busy makes you human, yet that doesn't make you your ideal of yourself. How you would like to be divine. You would like to be. If only others would be divine, you would have no worries.

This is undoubtedly true. This depth of equanimity is not easily come by in the common world.

No one would have set off an atomic bomb except for this reason or that. Good reasons are easy to find. Good reasons are not wonderful excuses, however. You may get away with excuses, yet they are not honestly your free pass. It may seem so, yet sooner or later, excuses trip you up. Better to look subterfuges in the eye.

God has given you a life to be lived, and lived spontaneously, with no pattern. Don't become a slave and don't become an imitator. Love yourself, respect yourself, and try to live your life the way you feel it. And even if you are a failure you will be contented. And imitating somebody else, even if you succeed, you will remain empty inside, filled with straw and nothing else. Alas!

The person who will succeed in imitating Christ will be the person who has completely destroyed his possibility of growing. He has been playing, he has not been living. And howsoever intelligently you try to imitate, imitation is unintelligent. Intelligence never tries to imitate.

How To Surrender & Accept Situations

In spirituality and personal development, we’re often told to surrender to and accept an issue or situation – but where and how do you begin to surrender to and accept situations in life?

Surrender and acceptance are among the bigger spiritual issues you’ll battle with in your life – like compassion, patience, and forgiveness, there aren’t easy answers to surrender and acceptance, they are things you learn over time. They are an energy you begin to resonate with as you practice.

Surrender & Resistance

Everything we work with when you’re dealing with personal and spiritual growth can be broken down to dualities or polarities.

In order to know something completely, you have to know both its polarities so that you can find balance in the middle, between those two extremes.

The Leap - Ted Slipchinsky

There comes a time when the current of the Divine River becomes so strong that the obstacles which you have placed before it must yield in order it for it to flow. At these moments you may curse the Heavens, but it is your own soul which commands this movement. The obstacles you have created may be buried deep within the muck and the grime of the riverbed; but the accelerating current drives them to the surface, in order to be seen and to be released.
