MARS RETROGRADE Sept 9th-Nov 13th 2020: 

Lay down your sword & shield,

and rest and replenish yourself

By Psychic Cynthia (Rev. Dr. Cynthia Killion)

Reprinted from 09-10-2020 Cosmic Newsletter

 

Dear Cosmic & Psychic Friends and fellow Stargazers, greetings to you!  And happy Fall!  This is just a quick note to let you know that Mars went retrograde recently.  (Just to be clear, that is MARS we are talking about here, not Mercury.)

Since this is a retrograde that literally only happens every TWO YEARS, I wanted to be sure that you knew about it, so that you could best take advantage of this once-every-two-years energy shift.

This recent Mars retrograde started on September 9^th and will continue until November 13^th 2020. 

 

THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO:

 

--Meditate, meditate, meditate. 

--Get a psychic or astrological reading, or have an acupuncture or Reiki session to strengthen & re-balance your energy field.

--Listen to relaxing music.  Drum, dance, stretch, move your body gently to help ground & center your energy field.  Walk often.

--Tie-up loose ends.  Deal with what you have been procrastinating dealing with but still needs to be done.

--Resurrect & pick back up old projects that you had previously set aside, but still see value in completing.

--Clean, re-organize & re-structure your existing home, life, & schedule.

--Reconnect back with old passions & interests.

--Review your health, diet, exercise & supplement routines—you may find you need EXTRA doses of energizing herbs, supplements or foods while Mars is in retrograde.  It is also a good time to get back on a GENTLE exercise routine.

--Give yourself permission to rest & sleep as needed (you may need more sleep when Mars is retrograde, or just extra times to sit and relax throughout the day).

--Cultivate patience, and the art of cheerfully waiting and/or being resilient and dealing with obstacles & challenges with a more POSITIVE attitude.

 

--Review what you have accomplished & created in your life during the last two years, since Mars was retrograde last time (back in June 26th to August 27th 2018). 

--Plan for & consider where you would LIKE to be in two years from now, when Mars goes retrograde again (Oct 31st 2022 through Jan 13^th 2023).

--For some, it might be a good time to re-connect back with an old flame or love interest….but be careful about making any long-term plans with such a person right now, as you’ll need to wait until AFTER this retrograde is over to see if they plan on sticking around long-term.

 

MORE INFO

This is our scheduled two-year Mars review, a time to take stock of what we have created and the actions we have taken (or not taken) in the last two years.  Rather than starting new things right way, this is a good time to reflect upon what you need to let go of, and to tend to CLEANSING on all levels. 

Even if you are planning on tackling a major new project soon, this is an excellent time to get RE-CENTERED and renewed before taking on anything new—definitely find your footing & clarify your priorities FIRST, before leaping off into the unknown.

Physical and etheric energy levels tend to be LOWER when Mars is in retrograde, so you need to conserve your energy for the next couple of months, and focus it towards those areas of life that matter the MOST, rather than trying to take on too much at once.

Now is the time to slow down and focus on repairing & rejuvenation of self and projects already started.  You don’t necessarily have to put your life on hold for the next two months, but you will need to use wisdom & patience when pursuing goals.  Most importantly, with energy levels being somewhat lower, you will need to PRIORITIZE and be wise & selective about where & how you channel your energy.

 

REST FROM THE BATTLE

The astrological glyph or symbol for Mars is exactly the same as the universal symbol for male energy.  It contains a circle with a pointed arrow emerging out from the circle at a right-diagonal.  It is said that the circle of this symbol represents the SHIELD of the Roman warrior-god Mars, and the arrow represents his SPEAR. 

          When Mars is retrograde, it is time to LAY DOWN your spear (so to speak) and to rest from actively engaging in conflict or taking on new battles.  It is a better time for your inner warrior to return home for a bit of nourishing & replenishment, and to get yourself rested up and prepared for FUTURE battles & projects at a later date.

          When Mars is in retrograde (as it is now, and until November 13^th), it is best to concentrate on being more sensitive to other people’s needs, and to focus more on cooperation & compromise, rather than engaging in conflict or trying to do things your own way without taking into consideration how it will affect others. 

Even if you do feel like taking on a battle with someone (which this is NOT the best time for), it is best to be courteous & honorable—as those who are overly aggressive or unnecessarily rude often experience an INSTANT karmic blowback during Mars retrograde.

Again, rather than getting entangled in a battle or power-struggle, it would be best for you to utilize this Mars retrograde period to get replenished & renewed, and to focus on taking care of long-standing projects that need to be resolved & finished up, so that you can move on to a NEW cycle after Mars turns back direct.

Creating a bunch of new karma won’t help you move towards a new cycle, so be mindful of your words & actions, and consciously practice kindness & self-restraint in the next couple of months!

          To learn more about this current Mars retrograde cycle we are in, I invite you to check out the special video I have created for you on this subject on my PsychicCynthia you-tube channel.

          If you would prefer to read (rather than listen) to this info, I have also put together a special transcript for you of this Mars retrograde video.  At 10 pages, it’s a bit long, but just like the video, it is VERY informative, and can help you to make the most out of this special time that only comes once every two years.

          You can access the video transcript in my google docs HERE.

          Hope you find this guidance on Mars retrograde helpful.  Here’s to a time of replenishment & tying-up loose ends so that we can all move forward to a new cycle soon!

 

Cosmic Love & Bright Blessings,

Mercury Direct (but still in storm)

A Standstill, Followed by a Time of RE-ALIGNMENT

By Rev. Dr. Psychic Cynthia Killion

re-printed from 07-11-2020 Cosmic Newsletter

 

 

 

Dear Cosmic & Psychic Friends, hello there.  This is just a heads-up that Mercury will station DIRECT very early this Sunday morning, as in, on July 12th. (Here in central time zone, it's happening at 3:26 am.)

          When I say that Mercury will station direct, what that actually means is that the orbit of Mercury will slow down to such a point that it is barely moving at all, before starting to move in a more direct way about a week later.  For this reason, many of us astrologers often say “Station = a STANDSTILL of energies”. 

 

Indeed, there is usually some kind of standstill, stagnation or even a STAND-OFF right around the time that Mercury stations.  The days right around this time of Mercury stationing direct can feel as if you are in a state of SUSPENSION, neither here nor there in life, and not at all sure where you might be headed in the future.  Learning to dance with uncertainty is part of the energy of this shift.  Uncertainty can be approached with fear, OR it can be approached with more empowering emotions, such as curiosity, optimism, or faith.

 

No need to fear any of this though—for it is all just part of the passing sands of time.  Energy is always in a state of flux and change, and indeed, even when it feels stagnant (even when YOU feel that your life is stagnant), there is still change happening underneath the surface.  However, at times like these, the change may be happening so DEEPLY, that you might not notice it is happening at all.  Or perhaps the change is happening in such unexpected or unplanned areas, that you find yourself still not believing it is really happening.

 

If you have been struggling in any way lately, or if things seem pretty bleak or down at the moment—it is entirely possible (maybe even LIKELY) that things will begin to turn around for the better for you AFTER Mercury goes back direct, and especially after it leaves its post-retrograde storm on July 19^th.  

At the very least, expect your MOOD to turn around for the better after Mercury goes back direct, and especially once the post-retrograde storm is over on July 19^th.

 

    In the meantime, there may be a sense of DIS-ORIENTATION at this time, a feeling that you are living in more than one realm at once (which of course, you are).  The stations of Mercury (either direct or retrograde) tend to weaken psychic shields and open up psychic awareness.  In other words, this planetary movement has a very UN-GROUNDING effect.  

If you feel dis-orientated or overcome with TOO MUCH energy or psychic awareness, you can quickly re-balance your energy by walking barefoot in the grass.  Sitting at the base of a tree for a few minutes with your spine against the trunk can also help to re-ground and re-balance your energy circuits. 

If none of these are available to you, you may try putting your hands onto the soil of a healthy houseplant for a few minutes instead.  Nature is a powerful ally at this time.

 

  

Don’t be surprised at all if you experience some kind of temporary impasse or delay around this time, as impasses and delays are just par for the course when Mercury stations. 

If you do experience delays or setbacks, or if you in any way feel blocked or depressed around this time, please know that most likely these delays or setbacks are only TEMPORARY, and do not let them get you down too much.  In fact, you will find that a positive attitude goes a LONG ways towards helping break up any delays or challenges you may be experiencing at the moment.

 

The tendency towards MIS-COMMUNICATIONS and emotional conflicts can also INCREASE right around the time Mercury stations, and for about a week afterwards. 

Whenever you can, it is helpful during this time to lead from the HEART in your communications, and to set aside the desire to be right for another day.  Even though Mercury is stationing direct tonight (Sunday morning), the energies will still take a while longer yet to re-align themselves, and during this time of re-alignment, it is MUCH more important to be loving, caring, and understanding, than to try to prove yourself or assert your intellectual dominance over another.

Even though Mercury is now turning direct, keep in mind that we will still be in the post-retrograde storm of Mercury up until Sunday, July 19^th. 

The storm is the period AFTER the retrograde during which the energies are picking up again and re-align themselves.  If you give yourself time to GRADUALLY adjust to these re-aligning energies, then the transition can be wonderfully smooth for you.  However, if you try to move forward too quickly before the time is right, then chaos can ensue. 

The storm only lasts a week after the retrograde, and during this time, you can still make some positive strides forward—the emphasis just needs to be on GRADUAL improvement, rather than attempting to take on too much or push too hard too fast.  After all, this week after the retrograde ends is called a post-retrograde “storm” for a reason.

So if you can, it would be best to continue focusing on what you have ALREADY started and avoid making long-term or binding decisions for a little while longer, as the facts are not at all clear at this moment, and most likely, things are not as they seem.  

For this reason, it is best to not become overly-invested in any one perspective or point of view at the moment, as your entire perspective is subject to change once Mercury leaves its post-retrograde storm, and more facts begin to become available to you.

If you are able to, rather than focusing on pushing forward in an external or material world way, give yourself a little while longer yet to concentrate on nurturing & re-energizing yourself. 

Give yourself the gift of participating in those activities which rejuvenate and replenish you, and especially give yourself the gift of taking the time to spiritually and psychically connect.  And if you can (and as MUCH as you can), leave the cares & conflicts of the world (Maya) for another time. 

Happy Mercury goes back direct time!  May the road ahead be blessed & smooth for you & yours.

 

Cosmic Love & Bright Blessings,

Summer Madness OR Awakening?

Retrogrades A'plenty

(and 2020 energies--2nd half)

 By Rev. Dr. Psychic Cynthia Killion

adapted from Cosmic Newsletter

dated May 29th 2020

 

 

 

DEAR COSMIC FRIENDS, hello there, and Happy Weekend, and Happy (almost) June!  I know you didn’t hear from me much in this newsletter during May.  Partly this is because May is my busiest month of the entire year in my Fairy Garden (for the planting & creation of the herbs & flowers for my Flairy Essence line).  And so that doesn’t leave me as much time for writing as the other months.

     However, I had an additional complication this month that REALLY slowed me down (even in the garden) and had made it more difficult to get things done—and that is that I dis-located my right knee while dancing a few weeks ago.  I was doing some very impressive alternating high kicks, when I heard a popping sound from my right knee, and it literally collapsed underneath me. 
(And yes, it was as painful as it sounds. But boy, it sure did get my attention and get me to lay off that knee for awhile, lol.)

    Although this seemed like a sudden injury, in reality, it had been coming for a few weeks, as I had really amped up my physical training this spring, and my knees were giving me signals for at least a week before that they were experiencing stress & strain from the increased running & other physical training. 

    (Not to mention, I tend to experience EMOTIONS in my knees, especially the emotion of SHOCK, as the knees are both physical & emotional shock-absorbers.  With all that’s been going on in the world this year, it’s no wonder that my knees got overloaded with the energy of shock.)

 

 

 

2020 Capricorn Energies—
Stress Test & Challenge of Endurance
 
   In any case, I’m sharing this personal story here with you because it very much illustrates the workings of the retrogrades & other cosmic shifts we have been experiencing lately.  With all the Capricorn energy that we are having in 2020 (for most of this entire year), this entire year will be a STRESS TEST and a challenge of major endurance. 

Pluto in Capricorn is bulldozing and de-constructing our very sense of foundation & security.  It’s also bringing to our attention the SHADOW side of our collective & personal financial patterns, especially our DEBTS.  Karmic debts are included with the financial ones as well here—wherever we have been over-extending ourselves and living beyond our means, whether it is money, health, love or some other area, this will come to light for us in 2020, and we will experience the challenge & the purge of Pluto’s energies.

      Saturn also re-enters Capricorn in early July, and remains in Capricorn all the way through mid-December.  During most of this time, Saturn will also be in orb to a conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn, and will TEST the strength of our commitment and maturity in the areas of family, career, life purpose, finances, business—even health.

    With all this Capricorn energy a’foot, this is a time for being sensible & grounded and returning back to more traditional ways of living.  When I say “traditional” here, I mean:  ancient, sustainable, life-affirming, communal, sharing, simple, gentle, natural, conserving, harmonious and well-balanced.

 

Also, whenever there are major transits like these in Capricorn, we are usually called to learn to get by with less than we had before, or we must learn to reach deep inside and be more self-reliant and RESOURCEFUL.

    Keep in mind too that Capricorn is THE sign of self-reliance and self-empowerment.  In general, the more you look to others for your happiness or to be your “savior” during this time, the more MISERABLE or ANGRY you will be.  Instead, it is better to focus on doing YOUR own part for improving your life.

      For example, if you are concerned about your health & physical well-being during these energies, you would be wise to concentrate on what YOU can to do strengthen & improve your health, rather than waiting for someone else to come along and “save” you.  The same is true for finances and relationships too—whatever the issue, Capricorn demands that you take responsibility and do YOUR part in your growth.  Then, once you have done that, some unexpected HELP may arrive when you most need it—but only if you have made the effort to deal with YOUR PART in your karmic situation. 

(As nothing can BLOCK blessings & Divine support faster than refusing to take responsibility for dealing with your own karmic situations.) 

       Incidentally, Capricorn rules the knees (literally), so I’m pretty sure that with all this Capricorn energy being highlighted, I won’t be the only one feeling the energies in the knees this year.  (My only hope is that the rest of you who feel the energies in your knees will be WISER than I was, and listen to your body and BACK OFF when it tells you that you are asking too much of it.)  

 

Preview June Energies—and beyond

A short poem:

Retrogrades aplenty
shed the light on the shadow
Revealing hidden aspects of self
Purging and releasing
Activating Divine Help
Step up to the next level
of the Karmic Shelf....
 
These retrograde energies we are experiencing this month are something else!  In case you missed my earlier memo about it, we have FOUR major planets in retrograde in May, including Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto.  We are thick in the midst of a cosmic storm, a storm which will continue all the way through June and into July too. 
 
    In June, these above-mentioned retrogrades will be joined by Mercury retrograde on June 17^th AND Neptune retrograde on June 22^nd.  We also have a solar eclipse coming up on June 20^th.   Luckily, Venus will go direct on June 25^th, so at least we can start to see some relief for financial & relationship matters before the end of the summer.

   Each of these above-mentioned retrogrades (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto) are worthy of their own separate Cosmic Newsletters.  But for now, this is just a PREVIEW and an OVERVIEW of this summer’s raging retrogrades….so let’s just look at the BIG PICTURE here for a moment, and then we can go into greater depth over some of these in future Cosmic newsletters. 

 

 

 

 SHADOW SIDE ACTIVATION

      The big picture here is that with the upcoming June 20^th solar eclipse, and all of these many retrogrades we are having, the SHADOW SIDE of humanity is being activated right now.  So we are going to see more of the angry, fearful, hateful, and dark side of humanity right now (what I sometimes prefer to call “the reactive side”) and we are going to be able to see this more easily.

     Basically, what is happening is that the veils are thinning (and our etheric bodies are also becoming more porous) under the influence of these cosmic shifts, and all of the UNRESOLVED EMOTIONAL ENERGY that we ALL carry inside is spewing and leaking out.  So don’t be surprised at all when you see behaviors that shock & appall you, whether is in your SELF or others, for not a single one among us is without the shadow.

       By the way, this shadow activation is happening on the COLLECTIVE level, as well as the personal level.  Perhaps you’ve noticed an escalation of conflict & divisions among people lately, and an increase in fear and hate-based actions in some.  This is because there are many of us INDIVIDUALLY who are conflicted & divided inside—as each of us heal our own INNER conflicts, we assist with bringing greater peace to the Whole.

    There is definitely a DIVINE PURPOSE to this shadow side activation, in that it is all being brought to the surface to raise awareness and give opportunity for RECOGNITION, HEALING and RELEASE.  

   Although we can’t force OTHER people to change or even do the work for them, we CAN do the inner work for OURSELVES.  Which in this case means looking within to where WE still have unresolved emotional issues and doing OUR PART to heal our own hearts, so that the energy we give off can radiate outward with greater love, light, compassion and understanding.  In this way, by healing ourselves (one-by-one), we heal the collective.
         

    And the UP side of having all these planets retrograde at once is that the energies are definitely ripe & supportive for healing, for this is a time to REPAIR, RENEW, AND RE-SET the aspects of our self and our lives that are in need of re-balancing and renewal. 

    In this sense, this is a GREAT time for making SMALL and GRADUAL changes, and for taking the first small steps towards a larger vision.  It may not be the best time for launching something completely new or radically different (then again, it MIGHT be, depending on the energies in your own personal birth chart).  Cosmically speaking, for the next couple of months, we are all being given a chance to REVIEW & RE-ASSESS the direction we have been headed in, as well as an opportunity to GO BACK and RE-VISIT or RE-DO that which has already begun but is not yet re-solved or completed for us.

    Much GOOD can come out of a time like this, even if it is usually accompanied by increased challenges or obstacles and a mandatory slowing down of a kind.  Just think how EASY everything else is going to feel after going through these challenges & taking care of your spiritual homework!

Cosmic Love & Bright Blessings,

CHOOSE CALM & CARRY ON-

Full Moon in Libra & Accessing Your Inner Heart

By Psychic Cynthia

(Rev. Dr. Cynthia Killion)

Excerpted from April 7 2020 Cosmic Newsletter 

 

 

 

Dear Cosmic & Psychic Friends, hi there.  Tonight (Tues April 7^th) is the full moon supermoon in Libra.  (In fact, the full moon was exact just a little while ago at 9:35 pm Central daylight time.)  Have you been outside to see the moon yet?   If not, you might want to look outside and check it out, as it is so luminous & beautiful. 

You can watch my video message about these week's full moon, along with the other shifts happening this week too, here:

 https://youtu.be/RucV1IWIres

 

FULL MOON IN LIBRA =

Spotlight on RELATIONSHIPS & Social Connecting

—Balancing needs of self with needs of others

—The quest for connecting & forming close partnerships (both personal & professional)

 

          Note:  Due to the accompanying Mars-Uranus square, relationships & alliances will be TESTED at this time.  Be careful about making any quick decisions regarding relationships, and avoid taking action while under the influence of extreme anger or irritation.  Give yourself a moment to PAUSE before throwing any existing relationships out the window.  In the next few weeks, you may gain greater clarity about which relationships are the most meaningful & supportive to you, and which ones have out-lived their purpose. 

SUMMARY

The annual full moon in Libra usually calls our attention to the need for creating greater harmony, peace or BALANCE in one or more areas of life.  It’s a time for finding CLARITY or CLOSURE regarding relationships & partnerships of all kinds.  However, with that explosive (and somewhat stubborn & insensitive) Mars-Uranus square ALSO bearing down upon us this week too, do remember to make the effort to be EXTRA gentle & kind in your relationships & dealings with others in the next few days.

 

Some helpful affirmations for this full moon in Libra/Mars-Uranus square week might be: 

1.)  I choose peace.  Even in the face of chaos or drama, I choose calm.   I choose to see the world in a way that adds beauty and joy, rather than focusing on drama or negativity.

 

2.)   I easily harmonize & balance the different parts of myself and my life.  There’s no need to go to extremes.  I find joy & happiness in balance and moderation.

 

3.)   I am open to seeing others people’s points of view.  I am patient with others, I slow down and really listen when they speak.  I don’t have to agree to listen, and I can be loving and kind to others without compromising my own beliefs. 

 

4.)   I create a safe space in my energy field that allows for true, genuine sharing & connecting with others.  I choose to love myself & others unconditionally.

 

5.)  I choose to embody beauty, harmony, elegance, grace and poise.  My life is an expression of divine beauty & harmony.

 

 

 

MORE INFO

          Libra is a sign that brings our attention to RELATIONSHIPS & social connections-these areas may be suffering tension & strain right now due to stress of the current Covid-19 issue and the accompanying wide-spread quarantine. 

Current conditions don’t make it easy to connect with others, although if we are willing to be flexible we can still find ways to stay connected--albeit not always in the ways that we prefer.  Libra is a sign that would prefer to hold hands and dance together (or at least sit together sipping wine) rather than connecting through a computer screen.  Still, however it happens, connection with others is of primary importance to this sign. 

While we are under the rays of this Libra full moon, we are all on a quest to balance the needs of the self with the needs of others—particularly those with whom we share strong partnerships or social connections. 

If you find yourself getting short or impatient with another, or perhaps even find yourself slipping into the lower energies of self-righteous judgement, remember that we are all under a LOT of stress at this time, and we are all doing the best we can, in whatever way we know how.  The world needs MORE love, compassion and understanding at this time—not less.  If you can, try to see the OTHER person’s point of view, and let them know that you see them as a PERSON, not just someone you are here to pass judgement on or argue with.

          During times & energies like these, it’s important to be KIND and show unconditional love, not only to others, but to yourself as well.

 

 

 

Other Dimensions of Current Energies

MARS SQUARE URANUS

 

          Earlier today (04-07-2020), we also had Mars in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus exactly.  Ouch.  This particular combination stimulates & increases unrest & social discord (something that probably doesn’t need any stimulating right now).  The desire to REBEL against real or perceived limitations will be particularly strong for the next few days. Which isn’t necessarily a negative thing in and of itself.  However, it might be difficult at the moment to find the CLARITY that is needed to make wise decisions.

I always like to look for the silver lining, and although it’s a bit difficult to see with this one, I feel that this shift can give ENERGY & IMPETUS to help us break up stagnation & apathy.  In other words, this shift can help us get off our butts and take ACTION to do whatever it is we need to do to further attune with our souls and express our higher purposes.

Nonetheless, this is a potent, unpredictable and potentially explosive or DANGEROUS shift that is not to be underestimated.  Even under the best of circumstances, this Mars-Uranus square combo is a volatile energy that can cause people to blow their tops and lose their tempers.  Patience is in short supply with this one.

          Although it was exact today (Tues 04/07), the energies of this square are being amplified & by the intensity of tonight’s full moon supermoon.  You can expect the effects of this shift to be extended by a few more days, up to another week at least.

          Many of those who are in top positions of power (government, CEOs, policy-makers & influencers) no doubt have access to astrological information about this shift. After all, governments and rulers throughout time have utilized the predictive skills of astrologers. 

Most likely, these top-level decision makers are aware that energies like these could incite social unrest further and push an already frustrated populace over the edge.  No doubt, they will be looking for ways to calm things down a bit in the next few days, perhaps promising more economic stimulus or medical solutions.  We will probably also see a tightening up of quarantine guidelines this week, as the powers-that-be try to take steps to rein in the tendency towards rebellion and discord.

 

 

 

JUPITER-PLUTO:  Healing & Regeneration? 

(Or more shady secrets that make us sick?)

 

          Tonight’s full moon also shares energies with the recent Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn.  This shift has a real spiritual dimension that can be healing & regenerative, that is, if we are willing to be sincere and true with ourselves and others AND if we are willing to face our shadow sides and deal with any secrets, shame, or guilt that we have been carrying.  In other words, we have to face our karma!

There is an old saying that goes, “You are only as sick as your secrets”.  If that is true, then as a collective, we must have MANY secrets we are needing to deal with, as we are currently experiencing plenty of sickness. 

Because Pluto is involved (not to mention, Capricorn) it is also important to not let ourselves become victims or overly controlled by others.  There may be much propaganda and exaggeration of facts with this shift, which unfortunately repeats itself throughout the year all the way into November.  Nonetheless, there is still a potential for great healing, regeneration & transformation here—especially if we are willing to do OUR part and assume responsibility for using our energies to create a more beautiful reality.

Dear one, I hope you found this forecast helpful!  As you can clearly see, these are pretty HEAVY energies we are dealing with at the moment.  Luckily, there is a kind, gentle & beautiful side to the Libra full moon—a side that is linked to the wise & unconditional love of the Divine Heart.  If we wish to free ourselves up from the heavy feelings, then we must be willing to step into the beauty, grace, and harmony of the higher self. 

No matter what the situation, if you choose, you can be a channel for beauty, peace & harmony.  Here’s to choosing to create greater beauty, joy and harmony in your world!   Until next time….

From Dark Night to Soul Light-

 By Rev.  Dr. Psychic Cynthia Killion

excerpted from March 18, 2020 Cosmic Newsletter

 

The darker the night,

the greater the inner light….

 

 

Dear Cosmic & Psychic Friends, hello there.  I hope that you & your loved ones are holding up well & weathering this cosmic storm as best as you can.  I’m sure that you have noticed by now that things have gotten a bit crazy out there in the outer world lately.  I don’t know if you recall or not, but back at the end of 2019, I predicted in this newsletter that the energies of 2020 would be HEAVY and intense and that this would be a GAME-CHANGER year.

Of course, at the time of making these predictions, I had no idea that it would get THIS heavy & intense, nor did I have any idea that the energies would specifically manifest as a world-wide virus spread & the accompanying mass fear & panic. 

At the time of that forecast (end of December 2019 and then again in early January), I only saw the general patterns of heavy & intense energy for 2020, and a feeling that we would be somehow stripped bare and challenged & restricted like never before.  At the time, I did try to share this message with as many people that I could, in hopes of empowering them & preparing them for the challenges that would lay ahead.

But alas, as my friend (and fellow astrologer) Ross Long says, “few look to the astrological aspects".  And I would add, even fewer actually LISTEN and take note when someone like me tries to point out what might be reasonably expected in regards to specific shifts.   But of course, YOU, dear cosmic newsletter reader, are among the exceptional people who have the wisdom & good sense to pay attention to cosmic shifts.

 

Mercury is out of retrograde, but NOT YET out of its post-retrograde shadow….

          As I explained in a newsletter earlier this month, retrograde Mercury already stationed back direct on March 9th.  However, we are still in the post-retrograde shadow until Sunday, March 29th.  Until now and then, we are still in suspension (energetically speaking) and things may continue to feel as if they are on hold for a little while longer.

I wouldn’t never say that Mercury retrograde was the “cause” of recent events and world-wide panic, but I would say that this latest retrograde certainly has ADDED to the confusion & chaos. I expect that some of the confusion and chaos may begin to lift after March 29^th.   

At the very least, Mercury leaving its post-retrograde shadow could help tempers, fears & emotions to settle down just a bit, and assist people with being more calm & rational.  Which I think will be just wonderful, as a calming and centering of the collective psyche could certainly help society to begin running more smoothly again.

To be clear, I am NOT saying that things will go back to “normal” overnight starting on March 30^th.   Frankly, I don’t believe that we can go back to where we were before this current crisis began—we can only go FORWARD to create something new.  And with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction that is in effect on again and off again for most of this year, I’m pretty certain that it will take us quite some time to regroup and rebuild. 

Nonetheless, it will help to life spirits just a bit once we are free & clear from the residual effects of this current post-retrograde fog.

 

 

Are We Experiencing a Spiritual Ragnorak?

 

On January 11^th of this year, I posted a video on You-Tube about the heavy and intense energies of 2020 and how I thought that these energies would lead to a “dark night of the soul” for many.  I named that video “Tree of Life & Standing Strong During Your Own Personal Ragnorak.” 

For those of you who don’t know, Ragnorak is basically the Nordic doomsday or apocalypse myth.   Which is interesting, considering that it almost feels like we are going through a COLLECTIVE Ragnorak at the moment.

One point from that video that I want to touch briefly on again here is how it feels to me that 2020 will be a year of inevitable—but also, unwelcome, ENDINGS.  It is a time of purging and letting go, and also a time of going through the fires of initiation and burning off all that does not serve our higher good.

Most likely, this year will also be a TOUGHENING UP year that will require us to become more STRONG & MATURE.  For the intense Capricorn energies that we are under the rays of for most of this year demand ACCOUNTABILITY and taking personal responsibility for as much of your own life as you can. 

This doesn’t mean that we can’t work together in cooperation to help ensure the good of each other in 2020.  However, it does mean that spiritually & emotionally speaking, we are being called to evolve beyond the tendency to try to hoist our own issues off on others, or to point fingers or blame others for our situation.

(As the saying goes, whenever you point a finger at someone, there are several more fingers pointing back at YOU.)

These are very KARMIC energies operating here in 2020, and we are all getting a chance to FACE OUR FEARS and subconscious issues and clean out our karmic baggage.  Which will hopefully lead to more of us becoming more kind, loving, spiritually centered & cosmically-orientated people—the journey should be interesting!

 

By the way, in order to face our fears, these fears will actually have to be triggered and brought up to the surface for us to look at.  (Which is what is currently happening with the world-wide panic.)  The key when confronting subconscious issues & fears it to approach these things with WISDOM & DETACHMENT.  Learn to OBSERVE & WITNESS your fears, rather than letting them overcome you or take the reins and lead you around like a pony.   

 

 

The Dark Night (but not of the soul)

 

Last night, I asked my guides what wisdom They might offer us about this collective dark night of the soul we are going through, and they answered by saying something like this:

 

       “The darker the night, the greater the LIGHT that is called for.  The darker the night, the greater the INNER LIGHT can shine forth.”

       “What you think is a dark night of the soul is really only a dark night for the ego; for the soul has its own light greater than any darkness, and it is only the ego that experiences suffering, fear, despair, doubt & panic, not the soul.”

 

          Bam! That message hit me like a lightening bold of inspiration.  Hearing these words come forth, it became very clear to me that while my ego may be suffering with worry, fear or despair in regards to present world conditions, the soul is still very much at ease and is shining the light that can help dispel the fear and anxiety. 

And the same is true on the collective level, for we are collectively experiencing a dark night for the collective ego, and the collective mind is filled with panic, fear and despair.  Even so, the collective has a SOUL too, which can unleash the light and beauty needed to restore equilibrium and peace again.

 

This dark night of the ego may be necessary (cosmically speaking) to help us face & recognize any scarcity beliefs, survival issues and fears that we have buried inside. 

In past lives, many of us have experienced death by sudden illness or plague type events.  Or we may have had the past-life experience of having lost a loved one in this way, or having had our livelihood or survival negatively impacted by illness related circumstances.  For some, these kinds of traumatic past life experiences (and the intense fear & anxiety associated with them) are being re-triggered by fear-based reports currently broadcasting almost constantly via the media & social media.

Furthermore, many of us have at least one or two (if not more) ANCESTORS who died from some type of respiratory related illness, and the fear, panic, and hysteria around that can also be carried through the bloodline, in the physical & spiritual DNA. 

Even if you don’t believe in past lives, the idea that we inherit fears from our ancestors isn’t so difficult to believe, even if you only consider it a matter of ideas & beliefs being carried on from one generation to the next.

In any case, it is natural and healthy to have some concern when faced with a situation such that we are collectively facing at the moment.   However, having some concern, and taking reasonable, prudent and wise action, is VERY different than acting from the unconscious & irrational fear and terror of the ego. 

In the days ahead, I hope that more and more of us will strive to connect with the light and the peace of the SOUL, rather than only coming from the fear & panic of the ego.

 

         

     As for me, whatever will come, I am not afraid.  For I walk in the light.  And for those of us who walk in the light, neither death nor worldly plagues have any true power over us, for we know our lives did not begin here in this world, nor will they end once we leave this earthly realm.

 For a short time, I did have a brief moment of empathic panic and fear during which I was telepathically absorbing the fear of the masses--but once I realized it was not my own fear, I just shook it off, and went back to dealing with the situation calmly & serenely again.   Whatever may come, I am trusting in Spirit, and trusting in my own inner spirit too, to light the way.

 

Dear one, no matter what happens, never forget that you too are an eternal soul!  And if you can, lean in to that wise, mature and intuitive soul-part of yourself, and let it guide you in your journey in the days ahead.  For these may be trying times we are living in, but they are nothing compared to the vast wisdom and healing presence of the soul and Spirit itself.

          Until next time, sending you healing peace and light, and wishing you an ever-deepening connection with the light of your own soul!
