Capricorn energy or that of its ruler, Saturn, is a strong task master. Wherever Capricorn falls in your chart, it calls for structure and hard work to reach your goals. Capricorn and the energies of Saturn, are not necessarily comfortable with the nurturing energies of the Moon. For those of you who have the Moon in Capricorn natally, it is considered in its detriment and can cause depression, waves of sadness, lonlyness, fear and judgment. So if you wonder why you feel these overwhelming energies at times, look to your Capricorn Moon.
In some Astrological thought systems, Saturn represents the Father, the one who rules with the iron hand to make certain you make something of yourself. But there are other philosophies that feel that Saturn represents the Mother because she is the one always there to mold and push us to attain our potential. Saturn is considered a yin energy, yet represents the Father and yang or male authority, so there is duality here. Whichever role Saturn’s influence plays in our life, it is not fun and serves to motivate through heavy burden and discomfort to be all we can be. We as humans tend to learn the hard way and through Saturn’s individual influence we are pushed to look at life from a more sobering perspective and work to build a more solid base and structure to springboard from.
The 2.5 days that the Moon is in a sign infects the world with that sign’s energy. So, what work do you need to do? What lessons do you need to learn? Where are you being careless and hoping you can get by? What house in your chart is ruled by Saturn? This is a good place to start identifying the areas you need to contemplate in your life and focus on structure and disciple for improvement.
Since the Sun is in Cancer and in opposition to this Full Moon, it is wise to see what house in your chart is ruled by the sign of Cancer and therefore the Moon. This information can give you clues as to where you need to balance your inner and outer lives. As a water sign, Cancer is concerned with feelings, emotional needs, spiritual connection and family interplay. What areas need more nourishing and/or mothering? What spiritual changes do you need to make? Are you listening to our intuition and following our own inner guidance?
No Astrological energies and transits are arbitrary. They are always meant to help us evolve. With this understanding, it is a very appropriate time to integrate yin and yang energies, coming together at the heart and spreading gentle love and helpful energy toward ourselves and to those around us. Seize the day!
A Full Moon symbolizes the fulfillment of the seeds planted at a previous New Moon or some earlier cycle. Each Full Moon reminds us of the seeds that may be coming to maturity, to their fullness, to fruition, to the place where the fruits or gifts are received. It may seem that fulfillment of our goals takes a long time. Some intentions may manifest within the two week phase prior to the next New or Full Moon. Some however, depending on their complexity, may take a much longer time. Just remember that our thoughts and emotions set Universal Action in motion and much work takes place behind the scenes as everything is orchestrated for fulfillment. Keep visualizing your goals as though you have already attained them and they will eventually manifest. Do not concern yourself with current conditions or worry about controlling it. The universe takes care of those details. Just keep seeing what you want, and move in that direction with your actions, and give no energy to what you don’t want. Patience is required.
O King, when I remember the wonderful form of Lord Kṛṣṇa, I am struck with even greater wonder, and I rejoice again and again.
Wherever there is Kṛṣṇa, the master of all mystics, and wherever there is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence, victory, extraordinary power, and morality. That is my opinion.

Aloha all, Sunday night Translation is a fabulous adventure into a new consciousness and thus a new week as well. Translation is like (ruffles have ridges), remember can’t eat just one? Do one Translation and then another and another into infinitude. Tonight we as a group thought it great to Translate all three advanced seminar sense testimony’s into one :>).
Sense testimony; Some persons are less motivated and are therefore inferior, less intelligent or more confused than other people.
Conclusion’s ; 1) Truth is the personification of infinite awareness in infinite variety, the similarity in apparent dissimilarities, one substance/intelligence of equal worth in all its manifestations, the satisfaction of desire(s) fulfilled.
2) Truth is all and one being, mind constituted and mind impress, it is ‘I’ pouring I AM I into innate integrity.
3) Truth is magnum opus innately all and everything, alchemically transfused through and throughout all and everything equally, driving itself omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, toward’s it’s own ultimate relationship, marriage.
A.) Truth continuously pour’s itself into it’s own familiar relationship’s, non-dimensional, timeless, intimate current hence, incomprehensible intensity of magnetism being one infinite minded ” I amness”.
by Robert Lanza and Bob Berman
Robert Lanza is one of the most respected scientists in the world—a US News & World Report cover story called him a “genius” and a “renegade thinker,” even likening him to Einstein. Lanza has teamed with Bob Berman, the most widely read astronomer in the world, to produce Biocentrism, a revolutionary new view of the universe.
Every now and then a simple yet radical idea shakes the very foundations of knowledge. The startling discovery that the world was not flat challenged and ultimately changed the way people perceived themselves and their relationship with the world. For most humans of the 15th century, the notion of Earth as ball of rock was nonsense. The whole of Western, natural philosophy is undergoing a sea change again, increasingly being forced upon us by the experimental findings of quantum theory, and at the same time, towards doubt and uncertainty in the physical explanations of the universe’s genesis and structure. Biocentrism completes this shift in worldview, turning the planet upside down again with the revolutionary view that life creates the universe instead of the other way around.
In this paradigm, life is not an accidental byproduct of the laws of physics.Biocentrism takes the reader on a seemingly improbable but ultimately inescapable journey through a foreign universe—our own—from the viewpoints of an acclaimed biologist and a leading astronomer. Switching perspective from physics to biology unlocks the cages in which Western science has unwittingly managed to confine itself. Biocentrism will shatter the reader’s ideas of life—time and space, and even death. At the same time it will release us from the dull worldview of life being merely the activity of an admixture of carbon and a few other elements; it suggests the exhilarating possibility that life is fundamentally immortal.
The 21st century is predicted to be the Century of Biology, a shift from the previous century dominated by physics. It seems fitting, then, to begin the century by turning the universe outside-in and unifying the foundations of science with a simple idea discovered by one of the leading life-scientists of our age. Biocentrism awakens in readers a new sense of possibility, and is full of so many shocking new perspectives that the reader will never see reality the same way again.

“Sex at Dawn irrefutably shows that what is obvious—that human beings, both male and female, are lustful—is true, and has always been so…. The more dubious its evidentiary basis and lack of connection with current reality, the more ardently the scientific inevitability of monogamy is maintained—even as it falls away around us.” — Stanton Peele, Ph.D.
A controversial, idea-driven book that challenges everything you (think you) know about sex, monogamy, marriage, and family. In the words of Steve Taylor (The Fall, Waking From Sleep), Sex at Dawn is “a wonderfully provocative and well-written book which completely re-evaluates human sexual behavior and gets to the root of many of our social and psychological ills.”
