The power of love, and chocolate

By Cal Garrison, a.k.a. Mother of the Skye

This week’s Horoscopes are coming out under the light of Virgo Moon. Starting at 7:30 a.m. (EST), it will turn Void-of-Course and remain in that mode until it enters Libra, at 3:30 p.m. (EST). With Valentine’s Day at hand, instead of dwelling too much on the aspects, and the impact of planetary changes on the course of world events, it might do more good to get back to square one and focus on the power of love.
I have discovered that the creation process begins inside us, in a tiny space that lies hidden inside the heart. Whenever we enter that space, the visions that appear form the “stuff” that our dreams and our lives are made of. Like the sap that rises into the trees, those visions flow upward, and whatever they consist of gets projected via the pineal and pituitary glands out onto the spheres of consciousness that create and define our reality.
At this moment in time Mother Earth is deeply engaged, on a planetary scale, in the very same process that we use whenever we have a desire, or a dream, or a prayer. Her heart is wide open; the valentines, and the chocolates, and the preoccupation with romance are there to remind us that she is in love, stirring up the juice that feeds and nourishes everything in creation. For the next 33 days all of that female passion will rise up and increase until the Vernal Equinox, when the Goddess and the Sun come together at the Aries Point.
If we wanted to we could spend the coming weeks exchanging love notes and playing the games that people play whenever Saint Valentine and Cupid arrive on the scene. Anything done in the name of love would be enough, I suppose; but in this year that looks like it’s stacking up to be the year of all years, if we truly are “The ones we have been waiting for,” doesn’t it seem a little stupid to keep doing the same old thing? Knowing what we know, could we take the customary rituals to a whole new level? Could we use this time of hearts and flowers to go into resonance with the Great Mother and begin stirring up the visions of the coming year?
Give it some thought. The heart is always there and it is timed to her rhythms.  All of us have a desire, or a dream, or a prayer. The flood of love that is already pouring out of the Great Mother is full of life. This carrier wave has enough raw female power to turn on the Sun. Seen in that light, there is no better time than now to include everything we envision, for ourselves and for the planet, in with the love that is flowing out of her heart. Keep that in mind, let it come to life in your world, eat some chocolate for me, and enjoy this week’s ‘scopes.
