Why we’re under the astro weather

It’s an odd time, confusing, unbelievable. Most of us are apprehensive at best; filled with anxiety and dread at worst. When it appears there’s a way forward, it seems to lead nowhere. It really does feel like there’s scant hope at times.

What if I were to tell you the present-day astrology is reflecting our discombobulated state post November 5th US election. Many of the major planets are retrograde, except our old friend Pluto which has only just gone direct in Aquarius (the collective) after 15 years in Capricorn (money, wealth, oligarchy). The other forward motion can be found in Saturn in Pisces (boundaries, commitment & hard work meets the need to create and rebuild).

However retrogrades take us back over old ground to learn the lessons. They can catapult us into the past and we go inward, not outward, as we attempt to reset. Retrogrades also bring opportunities for rebalancing and refocusing of our goals and, for many of us, that goal is how we move forward managing the president-elect.

Let’s do a headcount of the retrograde planets, Mercury (communication), Jupiter (luck and good fortune), Uranus (sudden and unexpected change), Neptune (inspiration, dreams, psychic receptivity, illusion, and confusion) and Chiron (our wounds and healing). Is it any wonder we feel we are stuck in a 2016-early 2021 Groundhog Day, contemplating ‘how on earth did we get here, again, and how the hell are we going to move forward)?

There are some clues in the current astrology. We see how destructive the election of the former president has been on relationships. For almost half the US 2024 voting population, there is a real need to break away from anyone or anything remotely associated with the former president. Personal relationships, business dealings and patronage, social media platforms…and it appears there won’t be any let up in this process of cutting away what you can no longer ‘stomach’. The Moon (feelings) in Scorpio (endings and new beginnings) is making a trine (harmonious flow) to Saturn in Pisces. People really are considering their options, from moving countries, to moving states, to boycotting businesses and Thanksgiving too. This trend will continue when Saturn moves into Aries in 2025. Something new is brewing and people are working out right now, how to launch this new and necessary pathway forward.

Adding to this is the mighty Sun (I am) in future oriented Sagittarius, in a grand trine to the North Node (purpose) in Aries (new identities and beginnings and a new cycle) and Mars. The North Node (purpose) makes this trine to Mars (assertion and action) in Leo (leadership, perseverance, drive).

It seems going back over old ground and making definitive decisions on how we move forward, and importantly, the way we move forward and why, will eventually bring concrete and solid plans for the future. The planets will not be retrograde for long. Neptune (confusion) retrograde moves forward on December 7 and Mercury (communication) ends its retrograde on December 15. Uranus moves forward on January 20, 2025 and, importantly, Chiron (the wounded healer) ends its retrograde on December 29.

Believe it or not, this period of inwardness and regression is actually a necessary reset. There is no doubting the reelection of the former president carries with it tremendous lessons for all. What emerges after the chaos and volatility will be something new. As to what that is, look no further than Pluto in Aquarius. It both exposes the underbelly and corruption while putting the power in the collective to act for the future. Through seeing and experiencing the truth of what is no longer serving us, we get to decide how we move forward. Many assume they will be powerless in the future, however Pluto in Aquarius assures us we won’t. There is real power in the collective…history proves that suppressed people take back their power eventually. It’s often through a revolution.

Aquarius is the sign of the innovator, the humanitarian and the visionary. Pluto will help clear away what no longer serves us, personally and collectively whether we like it or not.

Remember it is in times of great change and challenge that the best of humanity emerges. Resilience, stoicism, innovation, drive, talent, ideas, motivation and commitment. We will learn the lessons well, as we must, and create something new.

Pluto in Aquarius will eventually bring the reset we need, even though there is a need for commitment and hard work in the coming days. Even now, there are new communication channels forming on new social media, alliances for the future being built and old partnerships are ending. Remember that faith is not something that miraculously drops out of the sky, it is something we hold to in desperate and hard times.

Channeling occultist Aleister Crowley

As a clairvoyant and medium, I have channeled many people on my Youtube channel, Revealing Light Tarot, Astrology and Spirituality. They have been people who have achieved great things in their lifetimes and have struggled, as we do…the channelings more powerful for their humanity, their contribution and their flaws.

It was with some apprehension that I channeled a request, not something I usually do, for occultist Aleister Crowley. Like everyone else, I had bought into the hype surrounding his name…and to be fair, Crowley himself encouraged this. I’m not sure what made me persevere and do the channeling…call it curiosity and something more…a vague suspicion there was more to Crowley than met the eye, beyond the hysteria and fear he seemed to engender.

I did the barest research before the channeling. Date of birth and death, a brief description of his life…his parents and the tarot deck which he co-created with Lady Freida Harris – the Thoth Tarot.

I went into the reading without too much awareness; and I emerged after my channeling with a new understanding of his intellect and contribution to spiritualism. I’ll let the channeling speak for itself.

Happy Halloween and Sahmein readers. There are mysteries and magic that remain hidden in the darkness of ignorance, just waiting for some light.

A wildlife warrior to remember

With the environment now in focus after four long years of the US overturning many environmental reforms enacted during the Obama presidency and, in Australia, a push towards coal and away from renewables, it’s a welcome relief to see the world again at the table to discuss climate change and its management. The US will rejoin the Paris Accord and pressure is mounting on Australia and other nations to lower emissions and meet targets.

Meanwhile, there are many environmental and wildlife warriors working hard, year after year, to protect our environment and draw public attention to the impact of climate change. Of course, you and I know that the natural disasters of the past few years should be enough warning…unfortunately, they are not.

Australia has a unique and beautiful environment. With a relatively small population compared to land mass, our wildlife has thrived however the bushfires of 2020 took a toll on many species. None more so than our Koalas, now in danger of extinction. Many organisations are fighting the good fight to ensure this doesn’t happen. Still this did not stop a recent state government attempting to pass legislation which would have given land developers the right to bulldoze Koala habitat in some parts of that state. Only one brave Member of Parliament, Liberal MP Catherine Cusack, stood up to her own party and voted against the legislation which meant it was voted down. This cost the MP her parliamentary secretary portfolio/role but Koala habitat was protected. I struggle to understand how this legislation could have got so far…

It’s the actions of our environmental and wildlife warriors that contribute to the continuity we enjoy in our local environments, even when our government leaders fail us. Australia is well remembered for one of the most prominent wildlife warriors of the last few decades, the late Steve Irwin. I tuned into the energetic vibration of Steve recently. I’ll let the video speak for itself.

Channeling Eva Peron

A few months ago, in the midst of the outrage in America at President Trump’s immigration policies which locked children behind wire fences, in camps, I felt former First Lady of Argentina Eva Peron come forward in one of my readings. I knew she wanted to be heard and so I made time for this channeling. Her profound kindness and genuine love for her people, especially those living in poverty, left an impression on me. Here was someone who was a devout person, who saw inequality, and wanted to be a force for change. And she was…

In this reading, Eva Peron talked about the current situation in the US where, under the direction of its current Trump-led government, children were taken from their parents, and put in camps, behind wire fences that many referred to as ‘cages’. These children come from South America…from countries that perhaps are not dissimilar from Eva Peron’s beloved Argentina, perhaps even from Argentina which would also explain her concern. 

For those who are unfamiliar with her story. Eva Peron was the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until she died in 1952. She was born into poverty in a small rural village of Los Toldos, the youngest of five children. She married Colonel Juan Peron in 1945, who was elected President of Argentina in 1946. During the next 6 years, Eva worked closely to provide help to those living in poverty, and to advance women’s rights. She founded the first female political party in Argentina. She received strong support in return for her caring and support from the Peron’s political base, low-income, and working-class Argentines, and was given the title of Spiritual Leader of the Nation. She passed away aged 33 years from cervical cancer. The sadness in Argentina at the loss of their First Lady was acute. The streets of Buenos Aires overflowed with mourners and flowers. Her life has since been immortalized in film, including the renowned ‘Evita’.

 

 

Channeling Robin Williams

I titled this video ‘Healing with Humour’. I’m not sure why Robin Williams came forward as a potential channel but I suspect it has something to do with keeping your thoughts elevated…the connection between our thoughts and our wellbeing.

I don’t do many of these sessions as they are exhausting and I have significant family and professional commitments, but when I do, I wait patiently – clairvoyantly – for the right inspiration. In this case Robin Williams came forward with a message on life and death, learning and suffering, self responsibility and non judgement.

I hope you get something from this video? I know I did. I know that not everybody will as there is a strong message on the right to die with dignity. I know that after posting this on my Patreon channel, a few unsubscribed. So be it. I have been around suffering and dying a lot in these last few years. Most recently my sister transitioning after 6 years of battling stage 4 cancer. My dear Nan passed sadly with dementia.

As we know, Robin Williams took his own life after battling with Lewy Body Dementia. He knew his prognosis; he was realistic about the progression of the disease. This channel makes it clear, it was absolutely what he wanted.

Around 9 years ago, in another lifetime, I researched dementia, consulting widely with the medical specialists, the carers and the non government organisations set up to manage dementia, for a publication designed to inform on dementia. A stand out finding was the severity of Lewy Body, a particular dementia type. With it, you can expect a progressive decline in mental abilities. “People with Lewy body dementia may experience visual hallucinations and changes in alertness and attention. Other effects include Parkinson’s disease-like signs and symptoms such as rigid muscles, slow movement and tremors,” the Mayo Clinic advises. This channelling session makes it clear that Robin Williams knew what he would experience, and how he would deteriorate and eventually die. For such a gifted intellect, comedian and actor, he chose to die with dignity.

This channeling is not for those who don’t agree that we have the right, in the face of terminal disease and suffering, to die with dignity. It’s for those who are listening closely to what is said in this video…that we don’t have the right to judge the response to extreme suffering that is experienced with terminal disease. Rather listening and non-judgement are demanded.

Beyond this message, Robin Williams had plenty to say on a range of things. Tapping into his energetic vibrations was a joy.  Irrepressible is the word that comes to mind when I think of Robin Williams.

 

Tuning into Nelson Mandela’s legacy

A few nights ago I tuned into the energetic vibration of former South African President, and freedom fighter, the late, beloved Nelson Mandela – known as Madiba which is ‘father’ in the language of the Xhosa clan (Mandela’s clan).

Like other freedom fighters of an impossible era, when apartheid and suppression were endemic across the ‘white’ world, in countries where colonisation had displaced Indigenous peoples, Madiba was one of the many lights that led the way…his brilliance transformational when you consider he was thrown into a jail for 27 years. Yet despite the bars, the loss of liberty, the cruelness, he had this to say when released: “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison.”

Of all the wonderful legacies Madiba left us when he passed at 95 years; his inspirational words which were a reflection of his inner journey to real freedom, one stands out at this time for me. It is: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”

I reflected on why that particular phrase resonated with me, and it is this…

Life as we know it serves us restriction; it dishes up all manner of painful situations, health issues, family dysfunction and a host of loss from the death of loved ones, career and jobs…and even identity. The inevitability of our own transition from this life to the next is felt as, perhaps, the biggest, most unchangeable loss…if you don’t understand one truth. There are always…always possibilities no matter what the situation.

I have been inspired by Madiba from the time I first heard his incredible story of courage. He was, and is, inspirational. Always the human being…a man who admitted his mistakes…those mistakes did not diminish or tarnish his legacy. When I tuned into his energetic vibration; to his story, his time, his legacy, I found inspiration again and reinforcement that whatever comes our way, and while we might flounder until we come to terms with our inevitability, “it always seems impossible until its done”.
