Venus Retrograde
Dear John, Blessings to you and yours!
Many people I know - most, it seems - are experiencing a lot of triggering lately. Even the most conscious among them are having to do their shadow work.
Maeikisala and I are no exceptions. As I write in my new post, "Stationing Pluto Triggers My Relationship," the direct station of this potent outer planet strongly affected us.
I also offer up a second post for your reading pleasure. "Have You Polarized Yet?" explores a core teaching of the Law of One: that we're now in a special window of opportunity to evolve beyond humanity.
My podcast features a fascinating interview with astrologer Renn Butler, author of the wonderful new book The Archetypal Universe. I offer a quick update on the growth of my new life coaching service, announce this month's free session winner, and announce the October birthday discount.
In the forecast, Venus turning retrograde will give us a lot to contemplate ... but not act on just yet ... during the first half of October. We also have a Libra New Moon with challenging aspects, a challenging Venus-Mars square, and five mostly challenging aspect patterns.
Oh dear, that's a lot of "challenging," isn't it? But never fear, as always I'll show you the high-side opportunities in every situation! Details below. Enjoy this AstroShaman News! |
| Stationing Pluto Triggers My Relationship
In my 9/17/18 feature article, I speculated that some of the emotional triggers I was experiencing might be related to transiting Saturn stationing on several sensitive midpoints in my natal chart. ( Ouch! Why Was Saturn Direct so Intense?) Since then, Maeikisala and I experienced the most intense emotional triggering of our relationship so far. As always, we did our shadow work successfully. We cleared the layer of old wounding that had come up for each of us, and emerged more spiritually awake on the other side of the experience. Our relationship is better than ever! I thanked Maeikisala and the universe for my good fortune in having such a conscious and capable partner. But it made me wonder: were there more astrological catalysts at play? Pluto: the Obvious SuspectPluto, a specialist in shadow work catalyst, stationed direct yesterday (9/30/18) around 19° Capricorn. I have sensitive natal points on either side of 19° Capricorn, as the chart above shows, but nothing within the 3-degree power zone. But wait - what about midpoints? Sure enough, Pluto stationed near the midpoint of my three most important Capricornian planets: Saturn at 14°, and my tight Venus-Mars conjunction at 23-24°. Why would this affect my most important relationship? ... |
| Have You Polarized Yet?
Most people haven't heard of the Law of One. It was channeled about 35 years ago from a being called Ra, who is apparently several billion years ahead of humanity in evolution.
I can't prove that the Law of One information is true. But in my 40+ years of metaphysical study, it's the best explanation of "life, the universe and everything" I've found. (It's all free online if you'd like to check it out.) Harvest Time
According to this material, humanity is near the end of a 75,000-year cycle. It's harvest time! Those who polarize adequately on one of two paths - service-to-other or service-to-self - will move to the next level.
Those who don't polarize will repeat the grade. This could mean another 75,000 years at third density, the human level of consciousness. (There are seven densities in our universe, and we humans aren't even halfway through the evolutionary cycle!)
If you're on the path of service-to-other, like me and Maeikisala, the harvest requirements aren't actually that stringent. You only have to be ...

Awakening to EmbodimentThere are tools out there to help us awaken to our true embodied selves. AstroShaman, Benjamin Bernstein, carries those tools and reflects them in an inviting and practical way in his astrology session. I am grateful for the insight, wisdom and gifts he offered me in our reading of my chart. I feel supported in my journey to awakening. Sometimes I need reminders and bread crumbs to stay on the path and not lose hope or give in to the shadows. Benjamin has a way of illuminating that path. - J.S., September 29, 2018 (5-star review) Very Insightful, Thorough and EnlighteningI have worked with Benjamin several times now in different ways. Very insightful, thorough and enlightening in every aspect of working with him. Excellent integrity, caring and empowering! - M.S., September 17, 2018 (5-star review) Releasing the Fear of the ShadowBenjamin, you have a beautiful ability to hold the mirror ... thank you. My work has been made clear. You helped with releasing the fear of the shadow and embracing the light within. You are truly gifted and have a keen ability to manifest the divine. I look forward to working with you again. Thank you, kindly. - Liz Hlavsa, September 22, 2018 (5-star review)

"I am shocked ... I can't make it start even if I try" "Hi Benjamin, I listened to your Invocations for Healing & Awakening yesterday. I am shocked. My mind rarely stops unless I am in meditation, doing energy sessions or readings. I am amazed. After your invocation it is as though my mind is on a vacation. Every time mind chatter starts I become aware and it immediately stops. I can't make it start even if I try. Thank you."
