The visionary artist Alex Grey specialises in spiritual and psychedelic art with symmetry probably being the paramount on the bill of necessities to creating his work…

A stirring eulogy given at the funeral of Steve Jobs, the brains and the drive behind the persistence and pioneering brilliance of computing giant Apple, has revealed Steve Jobs’ final words were spoken after he took a long gaze at the family members who surrounded him, then looked at something over their shoulders and said:

“OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW”

3 degrees Scorpio (keep for 2 weeks)

The 28th October is said to be the end of a grand cycle of the Mayan (Olmec) calendar by one school of calculation. (The other camp says 21 December 2012). This New Moon hosts 4 planets in Scorpio – Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus.

Falling just before Samhain, the energy of this New moon is profoundly mystical.

Samhain

The Sun passes from the Zodiac sign of Libra into Scorpio on Sunday 23rd October and this marks the beginning of a magical transition. Samhain (pronounced Sow-een), is the original celebration that some now call Halloween. Aligned to the setting of the Pleiades constellation, it is said that the veils between the worlds are thin and spirit communication channels open at this time. Honour was also given to the ancestors and those that had passed during the last year.

As we enter into the darkest months of the year, we also retreat into our inner dark spaces to explore the hidden realms. Introspection and meditative or shamanic journeying take us deep into unchartered territory, with Pluto – ruling planet of Scorpio – guiding the way through the Underworld of myth and legend.

Neptune turns direct

On 5th April 2011 Neptune moved from Aquarius into the sign of Pisces. Retrograde since 3rd June, this planet of spiritual connection has dipped back into Aquarius to put the finishing touches to the works achieved here over the last 14 years. Now turning direct again we may feel a growing sense of oneness which will be with us completely from 4th February 2012 for over a decade.

Where the Aquarian phase connected us all via the global technology networks, Neptune, at home in Pisces, will dramatically increase our psychic abilities and reconnect us to our ancestral inheritance. The original tribes of the world are coming together to share the long kept secret knowledge of the ancients. With this inheritance comes responsibility.

Mars Sign

Mars rules Aries and Scorpio. It is a dynamic force often depicted as masculine although women have all these qualities to. It is the divine masculine principle in ourselves and partners with Venus, the divine feminine aspect.

As with all the planets, there is a constructive and destructive side to the energies of Mars. On the plus side, we have the dynamism, passion and drive necessary to activate projects and relationships. On the flip side we can experience Mars through misplaced egotism, frustration, impetuousness and anger. (more…)

Following closely behind Venus, Mercury will search out truth and reveal that which has been hidden. A lot depends on where we engage our mind during this transit. Scorpio can be tempted into gossip and political drama or use it’s penetrating focus for spiritual insights and personal realisations. Tragic or Magic, as the saying goes, the choice is always ours to make. Self mastery is the key.
