SPRING EQUINOX: FLOWERING OFTHE NEWby Franco Santoro
The Spring Equinox takes place this year on 20 March 2011 at 23.20 GMT, preceded by a Full Moon on 19 March 2011 at 18:10 GMT. The proximity of Full Moon and Spring Equinox makes the beginning of spring a most fabulous event.
This time traditionally stands for the preparation of the opening of the Eastern Gateway, the fiery cycle of clarity, vision and illumination, bestowing blessings of authenticity, courage and honesty on all those who are ready to embrace them. Read more »

THE WAVE
Therefore whosoever hearest these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock: And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. (Mt 7:24-27)
Tidal waves and floods are common features in dreams. They often cause concern among people on the path, since it is easy to refer them to imminent catastrophic events.
Psychologically and esoterically water stands for the emotional realm. On a personal level floods and tsunamis may suggest a time of emotional upheaval, overwhelming feelings and radical cleansing. They may also indicate a rite of passage, initiation or multidimensional baptism or rebirth (Franco Santoro). Read more »

MIND THE GAP
"I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.” (Ezekiel 22:30)
In ancient times cities were built with high walls around them as defence against enemies. If a part of the walls was destroyed the enemy could easily access the city through that gap. Hence standing in the gap required lot of courage because this was the most unprotected and dangerous position.
In the above passage God was looking for someone to stand in the gap of the walls in Jerusalem and build up the wall again, yet nobody showed up and the city was later invaded by the Babylonians. The gap and the wall God is referring to is obviously a multidimensional gap. And in this respect God may still be looking.
Between Pisces and Aries there lies a gap, a Mighty Gap, which is the quantum leap from one realm to another, a cross-road leading either to a joyful radical redefinition of our nature or to yet another forlorn change within the same looping story. And it is at this gap that mankind seemingly continues to miss its chance of redemption as cultures reach their apex and then fall again into darkness.
Pisces represents both the peak of human consciousness and the bottom of ignorance, just as Aries depicts both the beginning of a new age of light and loss of awareness or going back to square one. In Christian terms Aries stands as the resurrected Jesus, yet it is also the crucifixion, the elimination of the physical Christ and his absence from the outer world, which is the return to darkness for those who are unable to see His light within. (Franco Santoro)

SPRING & THE SABRE-TOOTHED TIGER
On 20 March the Sun moves through the gateway of Aries, and Spring is at last emerging! Its glorious spirit roams and roars like the legendary sabre-toothed tiger, the embodiment of the warrior paving its fiery way through the ocean of awareness.
This tiger was a very fierce predator that lived long time past when the earth was stuck in the Ice Age. It became extinct around 11000 years ago. All that is left of its organic form can now be seen only in the showcases of natural history museums. And yet from an energetic perspective it would be more correct to say that we, as human beings, are the ones who are energetically extinct, mummified in the showcases of a separate configuration, while the sabre-toothed tiger is indeed roving free, gliding from reality to reality.
This tiger, as it is described by Carlos Castaneda, breathes with its whole body and perceives with its entire being. It exemplifies the passion of the warrior; it is aware that each moment could be its last, and yet it never gives up its purpose, holding the courage, competence and grace to pursue its unbending intent.

BONA FIDE SEXUALITY
Bona Fide Sexuality is holistic sexuality embracing every aspect of life, including spirituality and the Divine. It is aimed at unveiling and expanding the awareness of our multidimensional nature, releasing denial and conditioning, while promoting forgiveness with a deep sense of integrity and service.

Spirit Guide is a term mainly employed in the Western traditions to indicate entities that choose to operate as helpers and guardians for human beings. In Western spiritualism and occultism, Spirit Guides are regarded as beings that once lived on Earth and then decided to act as disincarnated teachers for incarnated beings.
Their guidance is usually gentle, respectful and available upon request. This means that they will not dispense information unless you are open or make a direct invitation to receive it. Read more »
THE EMPEROR-ARIES
For the introductory article to this series pleased click here.
In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck The Emperor is portrayed as an established and stern ruler holding a sceptre and firmly sitting on a throne adorned with four sculptures depicting the ram (i.e. Aries in Latin), set in a sulphurous red background. This tarot trump card is the fourth of the Major Arcana, traditionally assigned to the Hebrew letter Heh, (window) and the astrological sign of Aries.
The Emperor holds the Egyptian cross, or ankh, as a sceptre, which in other decks is the globus cruciger, the symbol of authority of Christian Roman emperors and kings aimed at representing the dominion of their religion on the planet. In Robert Place’s Tarot of the Saints, the Emperor is interpreted by St Constantine holding the labarum, the emblem he dreamt of, while hearing the voice “In hoc signo vinces” (In this sign you will win), and that he then ordered to put on the shields of his soldiers so as to win the battle against the anti-Christian emperor Maxentius. As a result of this victory Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.
