The Smell of Myrrh and Lilac- Happy Full Moon!

The planet Saturn is a slow mover. It takes its sweet time as it moves around the wheel, spending about 2 and a half years in each zodiac sign. Saturn began its journey through the sign of Scorpio on October 5th, 2012 and continued along its path into Sagittarius on Dec 23rd, 2014. However, as all planets appear to do as they pass closely to Earth, Saturn began its retrograde in Scorpio on June 14, 2015, and it will return direct tomorrow! (Yay!) Saturn will continue its journey through Scorpio until September 17, 2015 and will not return to the house of Scorpio for another 26 years. 

So what does this have to do with anything? For starters Saturn is the planet of judgement, the planet of the slow processing of information, the trudging delineation of sifting through experiences searching for reason. Saturn deals with karma, and the endless span of the transfer of energy. Scorpio is the 8th house of the zodiac wheel, the house of death, transformation and rebirth. Like the human emulation of this house, those with the Sun in Scorpio, the 8th house is not one for shallow thinking. This is a house of deep subconscious information, of small treasures that are hidden in the caves of monsters. 8th house energy is scary, but truly this fear comes from the knowledge that facing whatever is hiding there will be a process of transformation, and change can be tough!  

For this beautiful second full moon in Aquarius I have channeled a message for you all from an Ascended Master whose energy is deeply rooted with Saturn. Master Hilarion felt like a wizard to me, a cosmic wizard of space who understands the frustrations of the human experience and has advice to share with us all. I feel that this particular transit of Saturn through Scorpio is a powerful and important transit for all of us in regards to confronting our egos and transforming our shadows into brilliant light. I have asked Hilarion to share with us his advice about the importance of this transit and how we can use this knowledge with tonight's full moon. 


Me:  Ascended master Hilarion, please tell us the importance of Saturn's transit through the 8th house of Scorpio at this time.

Hilarion: I am Master Hilarion and it brings me great pleasure that you've asked me to talk about Saturn tonight.I love Saturn and when I died my energy returned here (Saturn), and I do surely have lots to tell you. Firstly great job deciding to channel me, I could feel your hesitation all week but I must say good job on sticking to it. Let's see here Saturn, (at this time I sensed that Hilarion was looking at a bunch of small glass viles, searching for one in particular) Ah yes here we go, (He then grabbed a vile of periwinkle liquid, marked with the planetary symbol
for Saturn, which he poured out in front of him creating a plume of periwinkle smoke around him. He then took a deep breath...) Ah yes, smells of myrrh and lilac, I do just love Saturn energy. So, Saturn, the important word I want to be connected with Saturn is cycles, more specifically, karmic cycles and the effects that these cycles have on you from day to day. Everyone on your planet Earth is reliving a cycle directed unconsciously, invisibly, by karmic energy.  that is to say that each person is reliving at least one karmic cycle they have already experienced in a past life. It is the pattern and simultaneous breaking of the pattern, that is appearing now and it's very important at this time of Saturn's transit through Scorpio. Scorpio is the sign of the deep subconscious , and in order to fully immerse yourself in the energy of this transit, you will have to dig deep, and face some of your perhaps very dark fears.

Me: What is the importance of breaking karmic cycles?

Hilarion:  What isn't important about breaking cycles? (Hilarion began laughing then, as he flipped through the pages of a big old book) No but seriously, karmic cycles are sort of like a coded map that will ultimately lead you to your truest self. Every person has dreams and aspirations for their life, and those people simultaneously believe that "it just wasn't in the cards" for them in this life. That is one of the biggest ego lies, and it keeps so many people away from their true shining light. The simple fact that you as a human even has these dreams to become or transform into your wish come true is a message from your soul that it's possible. Karma is like the old shabby pieces of wood boarding up a window in an abandoned house. If you don't look at what's right in front of you, and dig through the muck, you'll never find that one window which will let all the light in. Funny metaphor, but it's very true, breaking karmic cycles is uncovering that window that lets in the light that will show you to your dreams. The first step is realizing that you are worthy.

Me: Hilarion, what advice do you have for us about using the next full moon's power?

Hilarion: Firstly, as a rule, I always say that any bit of full moon magic, no matter how small, is always much more powerful than any other time. This is a very special moon, the second one in a month, which means if energy is special. This moon truly has the power to heal your wounds, more than any other moon we've had in about a year. Many of you may have noticed being overly tired, cranky, or sensitive in the past couple of weeks. that is because this particular full moon is really trying to get you to see how self love and wholeness and healing of yourself is the first step to any sort of "enlightenment" you may be desiring. I would suggest taking extra time to care for yourself from Friday to Sunday, really soaking in those moonbeams, they are charged with extra power. For those of you lovely little humans out there interested in full moon cleansing and charging, I suggest charging your beauty, hygiene, relaxation, type objects, so that the energy of self-love can be brought to you throughout the month. For those of you intrigued by Saturn in Scorpio, I implore you to have a little sit down with your demons and the skeletons in your closet. it's time for a good cleansing in which you confront your trauma and fears and do the energetic healing work you need to do to release these things away from you. This transit won't come again for a long time, so if these ego obstacles aren't overcome during this transit, this may hang around holding you back for a long time. The key to your dream life is inside of you, dear ones, all you must do is begin cleaning out the clutter so you may find it. I feel that this time is coming to an end. it's always such a pleasure to talk to you Earthlings, I sure do love it. I hope to have the pleasure again soon. Thank you.

me: tThank you so much Hilarion.

Hilarion: Yes of course, if anyone out there would like to call on me, I like green, and Labradorite. Seriously my favorite. again, Thank you for listening.






This full moon is very powerful, as I've been editing and finishing up this post it has been slowly rising, beckoning me to finish up and come and play with my little ghouls and ghosties and shine some super loving light on them. I implore you all to head outside tonight and just look up and the beautiful moon and let her sweet silver loving moonbeams shine on all your troubles. Sending you all magic wishes for this moon!
