Peace Aspects for the week beginning 13 June 2010

There is an emphasis on the constellation Orion this week, and particularly today. Earth civilization has had a close relationship with Orion, and it is one of the most identifiable constellations in
the sky. Spiritually, there are both positive and negative forces
involved with Orion, and therefore it is a good week to be aware of
negative forces, and how they come into your life, and what part your
own shadow plays. But also then to balance that and take advantage of
the higher spiritual energies available. Today the Sun is aligned with
the other two stars from Orion’s belt (continuing along from last week)
and they are Alnitak and Alnilam. Alnitak is the left hand star of
Orion’s belt, and our Sun’s current alignment with that star can
increase telepathy*. Alnilam enables us to work with the issue
responsibility, an issue that we all have a relationship with in past
lifetimes if not in this lifetime. Mintaka, another star from Orion,
also features today, and this star teaches about balancing aggression.
And the Great Orion Nebula (M42) draws threads of your life together
today: “Meditating on this nebula or using the elixir will increase
one’s ability to incorporate change and to extract from various thought
forms, even negative thought forms, certain aspects that one may find
valuable and useful.” If experiences from the Jupiter-Uranus
conjunction last week have left a lot to digest, you can combine them
or take an overview, with the help of this star. Some people work well
with crystals in connection with Orion. Tomorrow Venus enters Leo, and
a domestic vibe from the Venus sojourn through Cancer, gives way to a
more showy mood, more expression, life and colour coming into our
lives. Some of us have been reluctant to get out their summer colours,
wardrobe-wise, and this will be enough to bring them out. Later in
the day Venus trines Uranus, and a socializing, party mood takes over,
and inhibitions are thrown off. A real buck’s fizz moment. The party
season continues on Tuesday (15^th) with Venus trine Jupiter,
and the vibration graduates to celebration, not just any old party but
something really special and meaningful in your life. A romantic high
is possible, too, for those who are seeking. It is one of those days
when everyone’s a winner (except in the World Cup), for Mars trines
Pluto too. The aggressive side of Orion can be balanced, and
channelled constructively. Footballers can give it their all, and the
outcome may be a stalemate but it will have been a good competition.
There is an alignment with the star Alhecka in Taurus that day, which
favours self-forgiveness. The Venus-Jupiter trine brings social
harmony, and the Mars-Pluto trine brings psychic harmony. On Thursday
(17^th) another Orion star is highlighted, Saiph, and your perception of time may be altered. Friday 18^th
brings an alignment with the Pole Star, Polaris, so you may feel you
are aligning in some way with your life path. The approach and books
of Martha Beck “Steering by Starlight” and “Finding your North Star”
may be relevant to you at this time. Do take stock of your alignment,
physical, mental and emotional, on that day, for the next day (Saturday
19^th) brings a square between Sun and Saturn, and that may
bring another cycle or re-alignment which is started by some
awkwardness or dislocation. Balance is always temporary until the next
learning. Another connection with another star in Orion also takes
place on Saturday, and that is with the well-known star Betelgeuse
(“Beetlejuice”). Sun square Saturn can bring up our fears to be looked
at, and Betelgeuse can play a part in healing: “Fears are lessened and
insight into the source of the fear is strengthened. An awareness of
the purpose of such fears in one’s own life path is enhanced” says the
book “Starlight Elixirs”. Often, especially when we look into the
hidden past-life fears we have, the source of fear is not what we
thought it was.
