ROBIN ARMSTRONG'S ZODIAC PREDICTIONS FOR AUGUST 2010

ARIES: MAR. 21 to APR. 20:
There will be powerful contradictory energies for Aries to deal with this month. You will run into opposition and every instinct is telling you to attack, but the truth of the matter is that you are supposed to retreat and bide your time for a while, until a more positive outcome is likely. This is not the time to stand in front of the tank! Move out of the way!
The New Moon of Aug. 9th will be a positive one as far as New Moons go, but your choice will be problematic and your timing will be off. The Full Moon of Aug. 24th will be a relatively uneventful one as long as you refrain from complaining and from vulgar expressions.

This is not your month to lead. Stay in the background. Keep well rested. And don’t complain about the behaviour of others.
The New Moon of Jun 12th will also be a difficult one. Your timing will be off. Don’t trust your instincts. The Full Moon Eclipse Jun 26th will be a positive one. Go with the flow, but do not contend. Move away from arguments. Drive carefully.
Special Focus:
If your birthday falls between March 17 and 20 then this is a time of excellent opportunities. Good connections are likely to fall in your lap, but there is a need for you to maintain respect and some restraint. If you push ahead too fast, you will run into unforeseen expenses. Don’t turn away good opportunities, but take a few days to reflect on the implications and time demands.

CHANTING HARI OM newsletter, May 2010

Hari Om,

Please pass this on to anyone you think is interested. If you receive this

newsletter from a friend and want to be on this mailing list, just email in your

request.

The exact New Moon occurs on Wednesday, May 13, at 7:08 PM (EDT), (May 14, at

6:36 AM in Gujarat) in the I Ching hexagram “The Taming Power of the Great”.


Included below are the relevant interpretation segments of the hexagram from my

ebook The I Ching: The Sequence of Change, An Astrological Perspective. Relevant

portions of the text are listed below. (Can be ordered online at

www.thewakingdream.net)


First is the hexagram that the New Moon is happening in.


26. TAMING POWER OF THE GREAT

ABOVE AND BELOW:

The mountain above, heaven below.
The heavenly mountain.
One cannot reach the kingdom of heaven by force.
To be firm in what is right
And patient about receiving benefits
Is appropriate.
Do not speak until you are spoken to.

THE IMAGE:
The mountain causes one to delay.
To force the moment is folly.
To cross the great water is fortunate.
Be patient.
Be prepared.
Rest before you start.

THE JUDGEMENT:
Restraint without, creativity within.
One does not overstep the limits of one’s position.
One maintains restraint.
One pauses before one starts.
One breathes in and pauses before one breathes out.
One thinks before one speaks.
There is no music without restraint.
To gain quality one must limit quantity.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIP:
The father to the third son.
The father is firm. The third son is patient.
The father is creative. The third son shows restraint.
The father talks freely.
The third son has a measured approach
And is selective in what he says.
The father learns not to force his way on the third son.
He must make a quiet approach.
If he laughs too loud or is insensitive,
The third son will not respond.

ZODIAC CONSIDERATIONS (Pentans):

The effects of light are increasing.
The power of warmth ascends.
There is much to be happy about.
Life is good.
Some restraint is in order.
Hasty and insensitive words can spoil the day.


Now we look at the line of the hexagram or degree that the New Moon is happening

in.

THE LINES

Nine in the first place: (23° - 24° Taurus)

The first step is taken.
A noise is made.
One’s effect is limited.
One cannot turn back.
If one’s action is selfish
There will be humiliation and damages.


The first place: 23° - 24° Taurus: 22. Grace
Standing on hot coals
One must be graceful.
One rests in clarity but must restrain one’s words.

Nine in the first place:
One action is worth a thousand words.
One begins strong and powerful.
It would be wise to conserve some energy for later.
There is no need to announce what one is doing.


In the face of delays and setbacks, it becomes ever more important to think

positively. Affirmative action can overcome great setbacks and it inspires

confidence in others. Much is happening that will cause delays and inconvenience in

the world. The challenge here is to not lose your centre and to avoid getting

caught in negative projections. Inner peace will bring joy and contentment. Outer

worries will not! Even when it seems that something horrible has happened it

becomes important to realize that nothing happens without God. It is just as hard

to accept disease, poverty and war! No doubt the universe is unfolding as it

should! Problems arise and in time awareness is raised and solutions are found. Do

not let the news, disturb or diminish your faith!
This is a big challenge!
Chanting is a way to diminish mental worries and increase inner happiness. Which

voice is the more important one for you?


This brings to mind an old Cherokee teaching that was included in this newsletter

six months ago.:

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside

me," he said to the boy, "It is a terrible fight and it is between two

wolves...it’s a fight to the death!

One is evil -- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity,

guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.

The other is good -- he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,

benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.""

And then he said: "This same fight is going on inside you --and inside every other

person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which

wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed!"


Chanting helps to keep the thoughts clear and clean. It cleans the psyche filtering

out negative vibrations and doubts.

This is the New Moon in Taurus. It is impressed with the beauty of Spring. This is

a very physical and material time when personal comforts and desires come to the

surface. The passions and pleasures of Spring are in full bloom.
The seasons, however, do change in time. Taurus is ruled by Venus the planet of

attraction and repulsion. Either one has what one wants or one is likely

complaining about it.
This is a materialistic New Moon, however, it is also filled with a need for

appreciation and rewards. A special value of chanting now, is that it can reach our

deepest emotional values. True love will be deeply appreciated. Love is its own

reward!
It is useful to remember that all that glitters is not gold, and love is usually

experienced through giving more than receiving!

There are a lot of temptations involved with this Taurus New Moon; circumstances

that can pull you away from your true inner worth. There is also a messianic

tendency to convince oneself that one can do anything and get away with it.
Truly this is a New Moon that cries out for stillness and calm, rather than

aggression and anger. “Go placidly amidst the noise and haste…..”

Keeping the inner light lit is the higher challenge. It is not about having things,

but rather about improving one’s capacity for experiencing heartfelt feelings.

Unconditional emotions! Imaging feeling happy for no reason!

There are many harsh realities out in the world. That does not mean that it is

justified to throw away courtesy and respect. Very little good can come out of

anger. This is a time to send goodwill to others and to the world at large!
Try to make some time to stay in the moment, ... with heartfelt sincerity.

Take some time to plant seeds of heart felt sincerity. It will change the quality

of your memories tomorrow.


Chanting on the New Moon gives extra power to the chant, as it is the seed moment

of the month when the past (Moon-Krishna) and the future (Sun-Rama) embrace each

other. Bring your sensitivity to God into the moment. Really, into every moment!

Chanting on the New Moon will purify your psyche and give reinforcement to your

inner feelings and faith. Enjoy it!

Chant while you walk! Chant while you drive!

New Moon Chanting 2010-04-14

CHANTING HARI OM newsletter, April 2010

Hari Om,


Please pass this on to anyone you think is interested. If you receive this newsletter from a friend and want to be on this mailing list, just email in your request.

The exact New Moon occurs on Wednesday, Apr 14, at 8:29 AM, Apr (Mar 14, at 5:59 PM in Gujarat) in the I Ching hexagram “The Marrying Maiden”. Included below are the relevant interpretation segments of the hexagram from my ebook The I Ching: The Sequence of Change, An Astrological Perspective. Relevant portions of the text are listed below. (Can be ordered online at www.thewakingdream.net)


First is the hexagram that the New Moon is happening in.


54: THE MARRYING MAIDEN

ABOVE AND BELOW:

Thunder above, the lake below.
Amidst all the fun there will be dangerous warnings.
Excitement above and pleasure below.
Enjoyment that will have shocking consequences.

THE IMAGE:
Thunder on the lake.
It is dangerous to be on the water.
Excess brings danger and misfortune.
The arousal of joy has great consequences.
The force of happiness cannot be stopped.
It is important to strive for appropriateness.

THE JUDGEMENT:
Movement without, pleasure within.
Impulsive desire is rarely worthy.
The more one wants, the more one does.
If one does not question what one wants
One will attract what is intolerable.
Attractions comes first, repulsion will follow.
The end does not justify the means.
This is a difficult lesson.
Inconsiderate and selfish movement will have shocking consequences.
One who behaves in this manner will be a difficult companion.
Where is the patience? Where is the restraint? Where is the tolerance?
The more one forces issues, the less contentment one will have.
If one lives by the sword, one is likely to die by the sword.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIP:
The third daughter to the first son
If the third daughter gets in trouble,
The first son will get her out of it.
She acts to have fun.
He will react quickly.
She likes excitement.
He sees danger in her behaviour.
She does what she wants.
He sees what is appropriate and what is not.
He will be undermined by her actions
And repulsed by her desires.

ZODIAC CONSIDERATIONS (Pentans):
Carried away by a sense of self importance,
One takes the lead without listening.
One looks for helpers,
But good help is hard to find.
Criticism and impatience will make matters worse.
One would be wiser to keep busy
And improve oneself!



THE LINES

Nine in the first place: (24° - 25° Aries)
Progress.
One takes the first step
And sets desires in motion.

The first place: 24° - 25° Aries: 64. Before Completion
Inappropriateness.
Difficult timing.
One must make the most of the challenges that arise.
The right approach is to make improvements.

Nine in the first place:
Movement towards laughter.
An impression is made.
The implications are not considered.


This is one example of where thoughts, or at least heart guided thoughts can help to control outward impulses. If you are pushing forwards, who is being pushed backwards. At what expense will your advances come? This is a matter for heart-felt discrimination as to what is right and what is wrong. True discrimination takes much time and grace to develop. If you force it, you will diminish it!
In this hexagram lies a warning about going too fast or too strongly towards what one wants without consideration of others. There is a big difference between acting out of personal desire, and initiatives evolving out of true joy.
There is a meditation in Tai Chi called the smiling face meditation in which one smiles at each internal organ and sends it joy and positive affirmations. This has the remarkable effect of removing fear, doubt and darkness. However it does require a letting go of outward desires and forces at least for a time.
Acting on one’s own desires often leads to rejection or repulsion and a growing sense of not liking oneself. Here the challenge is to smile inwardly and let the joy radiant out. If one is stirred to action, let it be action that helps others and improves their circumstances. Try to qualify the quality of your choices and subsequence initiatives.
What is happiness or contentment without moral fibre? What you put out, will sooner or later come back, so why not put out a smile, an unconditional smile!

The New Moon in Aries will be ruled by Mars, the planet of courage and initiative. Unfortunately, Mar will be afflicted by a square to Mercury and Venus. This stress pattern will increase impatience and irritability. It also implies a corruption of what is beautiful and pleasant by too much force. This tends to create a rowdy sense of discontent, which if acted upon will increase difficulties and diminish beauty. Contentment will not come by force. There is a challenge here on a personal spiritual level. Don’t complain! Fix your own character. The question is not what someone is doing to you, or how they are interfering with you but rather how come you are attracting disturbances to the peace and quality of life.
A Shakespeare quote refers well to this, “The fault dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlings.”
It will take effort and some self sacrificing to improve the spiritual quality or your life and even to improve your personal circumstances. It is important to not make your advances at the inconvenience or expense of someone else.
It truly does become difficult to share with others during such times, and yet it is so essential for us to do so. Impulse to make improvement and to help the lot of others will be a noble and loving impulse that is trust worthy and healing. Help, don’t hurt.

It will probably be a good idea to carry your prayers and meditations into action this New Moon.
One of the wonderful things about chanting God’s name is that it can be done while you are engaged in activity. You can chant while you walk or do dishes. May I suggest that you go out for a chanting walk. You can chant silently to yourself, or hum it or sing it out loud. Just try to put the Name of God into action! Not preaching, but intertwined with some physical action that you do.
In the morning when you wake up, chant out loud during your exercise routine. Multi-task your sadhana. It won’t be long before you are smiling about it.
This spiritual smile is healing and it spreads magnificently to all who see it.

Keep it simple! Chant and smile! Chant and smile!

Chanting on the New Moon gives extra power to the chant, as it is the seed moment of the month when the past (Moon-Krishna) and the future (Sun-Rama) embrace each other. Bring your sensitivity to God into the moment. Really, into every moment! Chanting on the New Moon will purify your psyche and give reinforcement to your inner feelings and faith. There is nothing to lose! This is a win, win, win situation. Enjoy it!

Chant while you walk.

First is the hexagram that the New Moon is happening in.


13: FELLOWSHIP WITH MEN


ABOVE AND BELOW:
Heaven above, Fire below.
Great clarity that reaches to heaven.
Simple words of insight will have a powerful effect.
Secure your associations before you ask for anything.
Do not make promises that you cannot fulfill.

THE IMAGE:
Many footsteps.
Abundant opportunities.
One who hesitates loses.
If you are sincere
You will make great progress.

THE JUDGEMENT:
Strength without, clarity within.
One believes in oneself.
One acts on one’s conscience.
Great activity. Great change.
It furthers one to be sincere
And to follow through on what one starts.
One must know who to align with
To insure continuity and success,
And one must not compromise one’s principles.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIP:
The second daughter to her father.
She goes out of her way to win his attention.
He is strong. He likes to play and laugh, but he is not sensitive.
She will usually get what she wants.
He is the magnet. She is the nail.
She sees what she must do and will actively pursue it.
Sometimes she will do more than she should.
It is important the she take the right approach.


ZODIAC CONSIDERATIONS (Pentans):

Great change in the light.
The dark will soon lose its grip.
One runs through the water.
Social obligations are weakening.
One rushes towards freedom.
One should be considerate of those who cannot rush
And of those who are not free.
The light of kindness will lead to greatness.




THE LINES

Nine in the fifth place: (25° - 26° Pisces)
Someone in authority keeps the wolves at bay.
One maintains one’s responsibilities
And is honourable.
Good fortune.

The fifth place: 25° - 26° Pisces: 37. The Family
Family concerns surface.
Gentle words of clarity.
Preferential treatment is not given.
Everyone is welcomed.

Nine in the fifth place:
One moves quickly and shows no weakness.
One uses one’s authority and power.
If one has the welfare of others in heart,
Great works can be accomplished.





Great clarity and great dependency! A little fire or spark can set many large fires. Small initiatives can have great repercussions. If one is kind and sincere and holds the welfare of others in his or her heart, then a successful conclusion is likely. In the same way a little country is often at the mercy of larger ones. However even such a small place as the Falklands or Tibet can generate clarity which can upset the affairs of the biggest countries.

On a spiritual level, this hexagram implies that if one aligns one’s own inner light with those who have even greater insight, then much benefit will occur. If one deviates or compromises one principles then it will take much effort to regain one’s composure.

What is really true? It has been said that the only truth is that God is. Everything else is less than that. Our world is filled with visual images tempting us on all sides. It would be a significant error to interpret the new media as a spiritual thing. There is a significant distinction between the wondrous light and love of a true avatar, with what is presented in the 3d movie Avatar.
It is sad to see the gross degeneration of a truly spiritual concept. It actually trivializes the real truth while it is getting great attention around the world.
Truly it is an Age of Kali or darkness and quarrel, when such a degeneration becomes so idealized.
The great Avatars that I have heard of, all got their enlightenment from a relationship to silence and solitude. Simplicity is an incredible state of Being. The state of no thought and no desire or anger is subliminal and profound.
One can find many religions, churches and temples where enlightenment is promised. One can find numerous workshops and new age schools that offer true wisdom. Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, Zoroaster, Chaitanya, Buddha, Lao Tsu, Fu Hsi and many other great beings did not find their enlightenment in the temple, church, synagogue, mosque, or around groups of others. They all spend time alone, in silence until they became one with it. Without thought, from a very simplistic and innocent state of being, they truly were manifestations of great light with a profound influence that is still present today.
This influence cannot be measured in words. Words are simply trails to images. Images are traps of meaning. Meaning and relevance dissolves in the light of inner truth. Even if one has learned of some processes through words, it becomes all the more important to put it to the test of life.
So many people are using the new medias to persuade and influence the thinking of others. This hexagram implies a challenge to see clearly and discern the distinction between inner and outer light. There is a warning here concerning what fires you start, and the company you keep.


This month’s New Moon horoscope reveals three other planets joining the Sun and Moon in Pisces.
They are Jupiter, Uranus and Mercury. Mercury conjunct Uranus implies radical and innovative thinking filled with great new insights. With the close proximity of the Sun and Moon imply that the inherent depth and effects of the New Moon will be naturally directed to new ideas and thoughts. With Jupiter also in Pisces, the sign it rules, spiritual insight and guidance are present.
The weakness in this seemingly positive process is in the mind. The seed impressions and ultra sensitive experiences that happen on the New Moon will very rapidly get expressed, without much time taken for reflection and restraint. It would be easy to convince oneself that anything is possible and to talk about it.
A better suggestion would be to sit in the silence and hold to the inner feelings for a few days, especially if you feel strongly about it. Be patient. Give the spirit of the New Moon time to settle and mature. Nurture your simplicity for a while. Wait at least 2 ½ days before you start expounding about it.
The road to hell is lined with good intentions. Hold on to heart felt feelings. Don’t be too quick to intellectualize them. Make sure that you practice what you preach before you act on your ideas.

Chanting on this New Moon will bring many benefits. New insights and understandings will surface if you can prevent your energy from dissipating or going out in too many directions. Turn off the media! Sit wordless for a while, and then chant a name of God that you have sincere feeling for. If you are chanting with others, keep words and thoughts to yourself, especially after chanting. Don’t talk about it. Just hold on to it. See how long you can maintain your heartfelt feelings.

When you come out of your meditation, try to stay focused on how to be of service to the heartfelt feelings of others. Protect your own and assist the devotion of others, without words. One loving action will light the hearts of all around. If everyone could maintain this, what a wonderful world it would be.
