On Death and Rebirth/ Morte e Rinascita

Saturn in Scorpio has been a very long painful journey but we are used to Saturn, the stern teacher that shakes his head and says No.
But Mars, who would have imagined that Mars in Scorpio would have been just as painful on both a personal and collective level.
We are seeing violence, shooting and killings everywhere. Intolerance and hate has become our daily bread….
Amongst the many discussions I had been through these days, Mars is always associated with war and aggressiveness. But we tend to forget that Mars is our own fundamental assertiveness. It is the energy that comes out of our 1st and 2nd chakra. It is our personal desire. It is our Kundalini.
Mars is sex and by sex I mean our own individual sexual nature that defines us as human beings. When we repress our true sexual nature, feelings and drives for many reasons whatsoever, then that assertiveness finds other ways to be expressed…and that means rape, violence on women, LGBTQ communities, minorities or anyone we deem that somehow they represent a menace to our own identity. It can be words of hatred or emotional black mail.
Mars is fire and without fire we die. It is our own force that helps us become individuals and take personal action in the name of the individuality.
When Mars is fully owned in a balanced way, it is what makes you go through the world and leave gracefully your mark as an individual living on this planet.
Mars will be leaving Scorpio tomorrow, 2nd August 2016 at 19:40 CED and enters Sagittarius shortly before the New Moon in Leo at 22:45 CED…but that is another story.
For now, perhaps, aided with this balsamic phase of the Moon, I will slowly and painfully say goodbye and thank you to those issues and bits of me that have left or died in the wake of this Mars in Scorpio. 
It has been a long long journey of death… and rebirth.

Versione Italiana:


Saturno in Scorpione è stato un viaggio lungo e doloroso ma si sa Saturno è l’insegnante che scuote la testa e dice No.
Ma Marte…chi avrebbe mai detto che Marte in Scorpione poteva essere così doloroso sia a livello personale e collettivo.
Siamo assistendo a violenza, sparatorie e omicidi ovunque. L’intolleranze e l’odio è diventato il nostro pane quotidiano. 
Nei miei molti scambi di idee che ho avuto in questi giorni, ho notato che Marte viene sempre associato con la guerra e l’aggressione. Ma ci dimentichiamo che Marte è anche la nostra assertività che ci individua. E’ l’energia che esce dal primo ed il secondo chakra.  E’ il nostro desiderio personale. E' il nostro Kundalini.
Marte è sesso e per sesso intendo anche la nostra personale ed individuale natura sessuale che ci definisce come essere umani. Quando per qualsiasi ragione, sopprimiamo la nostra vera natura sessuale, emozionale e forza di andare avanti, questa naturale assertività verrà espressa in altri modi….tipo stupri, violenza sulla donne, su persone della comunità LGBTQ, popolazioni ed individui che fanno parte della minoranza o su qualsiasi persona che in qualche modo minaccia la nostra identità.
Marte è fuoco, senza fuoco si muore. E’ la nostra forza, creatività che ci aiuta a diventare degli individui e prendere azioni in nome di quella individualità. 
Quando siamo in possesso equilibrato del nostro Marte, esso farà modo di farci andare con fiducia nel mondo e lasciare un importa su questo pianeta con determinazione e grazia.
Marte lascerà Scorpione domani 2 di Agosto 2016, alle 19:49 CED per entrare in Sagittario poco prima della Luna nuova di Leone alle 22:45 CED… ma quella è un altra storia.
Usero l’energia della Luna Balsamica per dire addio e grazie a tutto ciò che ho perso durante questo transito di Marte in Scorpione, incluse parti di me.

E’ stato un lunghissimo viaggio di morte….e di rinascita.


Lascia Divino che io mi fidi dei miei più profondi istinti e sapendo in tutti i modi, che anche quando le cose non so chiare: Che posso la mia intuizione sacra essere guida del mio cammino. Tosha Silver.

The Disseminating Moon, The Yellow Stone and a Tuning Fork

It is 03:44 local time as I am writing. The Disseminating Moon, my natal Moon phase, has just entered Virgo and crossed over my descendent. It will soon meet my natal Sun.
Till now this Moon cycle has been a very powerful one…and I was awaiting what will happen in the disseminating phase that began yesterday.

I have been awake for more than an hour. I shall blame it on a delicious Nutty cake that has raw cocoa in it and that I ate a small piece for lunch. That is the reason my mind wants to stick with.
The reason my heart wants to stick with is another…

In the living room there is a purple box, a gift I was given yesterday. In that box there is something I never thought I would have. A small piece of yellow stone from a sacred site in Malta.

That yellow stone, that I usually dream in my dreams, has just whispered me out of my sleep. And I had to open the box and take it out.
I know those voices, they are the Spirits of my native land. They are those same voices that 30 years ago would make me wake up in the middle of the night, go on the roof and watch stars.

They are the Temple Builders People that part of their DNA is in my blood. They are my Ancestors, my invisible friends.
They are the Ancient Wisdom to whom I vowed to be a Guardian and a Keeper in this lifetime and many others.
They are the creators of my dreams…

Yes, my friends are right, the Temples are calling all their children from all over the world to come and listen.
I know that Voice. 

It vibrates in my very core, in my bones, and in many lifetimes.
It is as intimate as the dance of primordial space in my body.
It makes me hum like a Tuning Fork that even from afar recognises its own frequency.

And all I can do is listen and hum….listen and hum….listen and hum…

To a lullaby that out of chaos creates life.

Happy 51st Birthday G (on a Taurus Moon) !

Happy Birthday my Love,

watching you today celebrating your 51st birthday is something so intimately special...
Since your 50th Birthday a year ago when your Chiron return started with all sorts of disabling hip pains and other maladies I have seen you grow, heal through suffering, through loss, through mutilation, through identity lost and passionately, avidly fought for, to be found again.
You have been an exquisite raw, vivid example of what rebirth is. That it is possibile to do so.
I love the Universe synchronicity: Your 51st birthday is happening with a Taurus Moon, that same energy of steadfastness, belief in life that has accompanied us in your...our journey through breast cancer and mastectomy.
It seems fitting isn't, that your Solar Return is being celebrated with perseverance, with sensuality, with those small, comfortable, sensual things in life that make us feel connected with Mother Earth.
So my Love, what else can I wish you on this special day?
May you be always true to yourself no matter what, at the end of the day your intuition has always been right...just give yourself time to listen to your own drum beat...it will take you on a unique pioneering journey...an inspiration to us all.
Dance to your own music G, it may seem strange at first, others might not understand but at the end of this journey you will have created a spontaneous, exuberant, fearless Youtube film for us all to insightfully ponder on!
Thank you my Love, for being in my life.

I love you.

Taurus Moon, cancer and her

It all started 4 lunations ago.

In September while the Moon was in Taurus...my partner found out that she had breast cancer.

There started the long journey against Time and against the medical establishment.

Saving what was savable.

Facing my deepest fears, those near....and those coming from a far away past, in deep recesses I had conveniently put apart.

Allopathic doctors proving themselves narrow minded; holistic doctors cowards in-front of the establishment.

Humming in a different tune....believing in an offbeat healing.

Opening up towards society about my lesbian relationship more than my usual comfortable, security level, just because of her.

The Mutilation of a radical right mastectomy.
The suffering, the pain, the loss.

The what if...

The constant terrorism...

The support coming from the unexpected, growing one tweet or like at a time.

The power within...

And at every Taurus Moon something special happened that moved the story in a new direction.
This current Taurus Moon has just brought the greatest news...all investigations are negative...no cancer cells roaming about...

For now we rest and catch our breath.
Savour life...and our love...our companionship.

The story is not finished yet.
