Cosmic Weather Forecast

Hurricanes Harvey, Maria, Irma Wipe Out Texas, Florida, Caribbean: On a spiritual level, the ongoing climate emergency is a golden opportunity for humanity to connect consciously with the elemental beings present throughout all the realms of nature, found in the wind, the water, the fire and the earth, in minerals, plants, and the animal kingdom.

The Cancer Full Moon puts the Cosmic focus on relationships and families, governed by Cancer as Great Mother. The incendiary nature of this Full Moon T-square/weak Cardinal Cross indicates the potential for simmering relationship issues to boil over in unexpected ways. It's important to remain calm in the face of perceived provocation, and to keep firmly focused on the big picture, rather than being triggered by passing emotional squalls or slights.

Good news! The series of Uranus-Pluto squares and T-squares in Cardinal signs that have been prominent this year and over the last several years are finally coming to an end! Read all about it!

For a variety of reasons we shall explore together, this Full Moon weekend is the ideal time to meditate upon the path of spiritual activism and political action as selfless service.

We’ve been deluged by reports of people who are stressed out, overworked, worried about money, hit with health challenges, being plunged into a transformational cauldron, and feeling overheated by it all! So it’s up to each one of us to set aside anger, fear and worry and to join together in a festival of community and community healing.

No matter how difficult our path appears to be this month, we are in this together, and as we acknowledge our connection, we are strengthened and ennobled, so that our very best qualities can shine forth! In this way we combine the energies of Leo and Aquarius and prepare ourselves to pass through the eclipse gateway that will bring us to the coming springtime and the advent of a new astrological year!

Our task this Full Moon is to absorb a flood of unsettling new information coming to light about global and personal crises and insecurities in every area of life so we can begin to imagine new solutions to our mounting problems. But there is good news too! Read the forecast to connect to the positive vibes!

Meditation practices and visualizations can produce visionary breakthroughs in all areas of life, as long as we exercise the power of discernment to separate inner spiritual guidance from wishful thinking, paranoia, and collective illusions and delusions.

This Full Moon Eclipse emphasizes the need for each of us to turn within, to subordinate our egoistic will to the Higher Purpose we each have incarnated to fulfill, and to listen carefully to the Divine Guidance available to us through our connection to Higher Mind.

This Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the water element predominates in the physical, astral and mental realms of being. Boundaries and structures are dissolving, in inner and outer worlds, and we are challenged by a turbo-charged emotional atmosphere in which even the most stolid experience trans-personal, empathic connections that call forth a heart-centered response to the suffering we see around us.

Generally speaking, human beings prefer not to change. Those of us who have a developed spiritual practice are well aware that the challenges and setbacks in life are the opportunities we need to transform our worst personality-based life patterns into more positive behavior. Be the change you want to see in the world.

At Wesak, the Enlightened Ones gather in Shambhala and send humanity a continuous energetic stream of intellectual inspiration, loving wisdom, compassion and will forces, along with immensely detailed spiritual guidance concerning each individual's spiritual path in the upcoming year. Let's meditate on that Friday night!
