The most profound spiritual traditions of ancient times perceived the
manifest world, at all scales of existence as being generated and
pervaded by a cosmic trinity of active, passive and neutral principles
– the divine essence of the masculine, feminin e and child. The
Vedic sages of ancient India saw the male/active life-force energy they
called the pingala and the female/passive energy they called the
idaweaving around and through our chakras and the child/neutral energy
they called the shushumna as channeling up through them.
When these divine masculine and feminine energies are balanced and so
able to fully 'birth' the divine child energies within us, the ancient
sages saw the so-called kundalini energy that otherwise lies dormant at
the base of the spine, surge through us enabling us to fully embody our
divine nature.
The purpose of the sacred marriage between the divine feminine and
masculine that the ancient peoples, such as those of Malta, enacted in
their temples was thus not only to bring cosmic harmony and fertility to
their land but within themselves. For such balance enables the energetic
activation or 'birth' of the divine child within us and the attainment
of enlightenment.
When this cosmic trinity of consciousness is harmonized and fully
expressed within us, we are truly 'healed' and 'whole' as embodied by
the universal symbol of the caduceus as a representation of healing from
earliest times.
For millennia, only the highest adepts understood and have attained such
wholeness. But elders and mystics around the world are saying that now
is the time, when we have evolved to a point where we are all able to
awaken our inner divinity.
This is our spiritual destiny at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

In mid February, we are offered cosmic support to this re-membering of
who we really are, by a rare astrological concentration that brings
together a number of planets together with the North Node – denoting
higher purpose - in Aquarius. And which energizes and inspires the
possibility for transcendental breakthrough and healing.
We measure our global sense of both space (longitude) and time
(universal time - UT or GMT) from the prime meridian located at
Greenwich, England. We can perceive the collective influence of this
momentous astrological event by looking at the alignment from this
globally 'centered' perspective. When we do, something extraordinary and
exquisite emerges.
At dawn on 14th February the day dedicated to St Valentine, the patron
saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of
relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the
twelfth house of spiritual transformation.
Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song called Aquarius, brought
the dawning of the new age
into our collective awareness:
When the Moon is in the seventh house
And Jupiter aligns with Mars.
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars.
At dawn on 14th February the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect
alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and
the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.
The Aquarian chart of 14th February reveals an incredible concentration
of cosmic influences blending with the energies of Aquarius in the
twelfth house. Expansive Jupiter and energetic Mars are aligned with the
higher purpose of the North Node. The presence of Chiron the wounded
healer offers us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated
us for so long. Neptune emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and
the co-creation of social justice. And the presence of the radiant Sun
enlightens the entire alignment.
Mercury also in the twelfth house but just beyond the cusp in Capricorn,
allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and anchor the Shift
throughout our global structures and institutions.
The Moon in Libra in the seventh house emphasizes harmonious real
–ationships.
Venus in Aries in the first house energizes and empowers dynamic
co-creativity.
And whilst Saturn the great task master in opposition to Uranus the
unexpected awakener is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the dregs
of the unsustainable old paradigm reluctantly give way to the untested
hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings practical
altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition.
Alignment view from the horizon
At 7.25am on 14th February – and for the 18 minutes of the
alignment, I invite you, in the universal heart, to add your own
intention for love and peace and to co-create the dawning of the Age of
Aquarius to that of the Cosmos. In whatever way feels appropriate for
you, you may choose to align with 7.25am (UT) or 7.25am your own local
time energizing a wave of intention that will surge around the Earth.
Having searched for over a thousand years, I can find no other
alignments in the past of this incredible significance. But amazingly,
at one moment in time nearly fifty years ago, the collective voices of
our ancient ancestors seem to have been given such a cosmic voice to
energetically seed this coming Age and the birth of the Aquarian human.
In 1962 at the same time on the same day, as 2009, Jupiter and Mars were
in Aquarius in the twelfth house and the Moon in the seventh house. But
then the awesome concentration of planets that energize the 2009
alignment was missing.
And instead of the North Node (higher purpose) being aligned with Jupiter
and Mars as it is in 2009, it was in opposition.
What this means is that back in 1962 it was the so-called south node
rather than the north node that was aligned with Jupiter and Mars.
The south node represents what we bring in from the past. So in 1962 the
potential for us the birth the Age of Aquarius came through from our
collective race memory - but only now are we able to fully manifest its
higher purpose. In 1962 we essentially took a collective in-breath of
possibility and now with the cosmic support of the Aquarian alignment of
14th February 2009 we are able to take the out-breath and make it
happen.
The second verse of the song Aquarius is;
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Magic crystal revelation
And the minds true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
