One Fish, Two Fish and the Unified Field - Pisces New Moon March 18, 2026

 Tonight the Sun and Moon unite at 28 degrees Pisces to birth a New Moon.  Lunation periods officially go from New Moon to New Moon, so by the time we are through this lunation period, we will have sailed through the portal of Spring Equinox and straight on til Easter. The Equinox marks the beginning of the Zodiacal year and already, 2026 has moved us through a number of important planetary transits, including the inauguration of the year of the Fire Horse. 

Of all these planetary shifts, Neptune’s movement from Pisces into the sign of Aries on Feb 20 has shifted the energetics of the planetary landscape significantly.  Neptune is the ruler of Pisces and it has been transiting through this sign since 2011.  When a sign is transited by its planetary ruler, there is an amplification of the energies of both planet and sign.  Neptune will not be potentizing the sign of Pisces again for 165 years.  This is a once in a lifetime transit and it has been activating the closing of cycles on karmic relationships, patterns of behaviour based on deep conditioning, ancestral trauma and other circumstances that no longer serve the evolution of the Soul.  This has been a season of loss. 

In the bigger picture, this transit has been dissolving collective trauma resulting from the hi-jacking of true power – Soul power, Divine Intelligence power – by forces working to distort and manipulate it as an agent of control and authoritarianism.  The distortion of the messages of the many true avatars and teachers who have appeared during the Age of Pisces over the last 2,500 years has been used to subjugate humankind and extract profit for the benefit of those wielding power to corrupt and control. 

It is true that rules- based religious systems have played a role in supporting our evolution by providing guidelines for right human relationships when the dominant frequency on this planet was relatively low.  But now, the moment of our spiritual maturity has come.  The Age of Pisces cycles down and the Age of Aquarius arises.  It is believed by many astrologers that we stand now upon that threshold.

The awakening and liberation energy of Aquarius operates as a collective moment of realization that we do and have always held divine intelligence within us and that we are not separate in any way from that.  It is no accident that we have incarnated on a planet of form and materiality.  In nature forms are fully imbued and at one with their embodied divinity, making Nature our first and probably most reliable textbook.  The natural world is already awake and expressing its divine essence.  It is only humanity who has been trapped in the illusion of separation, that materiality enables. Mistakenly believing that heaven is above us, that the Creator is outside of us and that we have been banished from the Garden of Eden, has kept us trapped in the illusion of powerlessness.

But the exit strategy has always been there in plain sight as a running thread in the many stories of separation and return which run through our mythologies, sacred texts and teachings.  The Hero’s Journey – one of our most foundational stories – has the hero, usually orphaned, setting out on journey of discovery, facing disillusionment, danger and despair before a triumphant return.  He then offers his newly realized wisdom for the benefit of his community…separation, realization, unification. 

But Pisces’ glyph - two fish swimming in opposite directions, implies they are immersed in a watery realm and this adds another layer of complexity to the story.  The fish represent separation, duality, the pairs of opposites.  But it is the Ocean within which the fishes swim that, by its very nature, holds the key to resolving duality.  Because once the fishes realize that the inevitable problems arising out of division and swimming in opposition to one’s other half are resolved by recognizing what has been holding and supporting them all along, they have the key that returns them to the garden and to their original nature. 

Pisces teaches that only by experiencing duality can we learn what has been missing.  Seeking for the third element - that which is “above” the duality, and which transforms duality into trinity, moves us into a completely new frequency.    This ultimate realization is hidden in plain sight and can only really be recognized by awakening from the illusion that separation and swimming in opposite directions are the only options.   The truth is, just like the fish, we have always been swimming in Unity consciousness – we just didn’t know it.  As the Aquarian age dawns, and  we are reoriented to the energetics of a completely new frequency, what was once been veiled becomes obvious. 

And once we realize this, we can no longer be controlled by any power or authority which relies on separation to divide and conquer – the game is over. 

And yet, even knowing this, like birds in a cage with a wide open door, our freedom relies on having the insight to see the door is open and the courage to leave the confines of the cage and fly.

And so this New Moon represents both the Alpha and the Omega.  The closing of cycles that has been active since 2011, and intensified greatly over the last 16 months when the Nodes of the Moon went into Pisces and its opposite, Virgo and the opening of new cycles as Neptune, Saturn and most of the inner planets make their way to the initiatory degrees of Aries. Over the last 14 years, we have suffered many losses, painful karmic closures, illusions shattered and many tears of grief.  These next days are for rest, reflection and Inner looking.   Mercury, which will end it retrograde exactly on the Equinox, is conjoined today with the North Node of the Moon and this speaks of messages, downloads and dreams incoming.  Have your journal ready. 

Along with Neptune and Saturn’s recent movement into Aries – the sign of new beginnings Jupiter, the guru, has only days ago moved forward in the nurturing and caring sign of Cancer.  We are gently encouraged to open our hearts and arms to receive the love and support of others in our lives and of the Divine Feminine energy of the Great Mother who stands ready to help.

On Friday we pause and connect as the Sun moves onto the potent point of 0 Aries at the Equinox and after that we speed forward to Easter and beyond...

But for now it is time to just BE in this Unified field of consciousness that presents itself today as the last degrees of the last sign of the last house in the Zodiac draws to a close before a new dawn breaks.

A brief cosmology of Alice Bailey's Theosophy

Cosmology:

Theosophy as expressed through Alice Bailey and the Arcane School (an offshoot of the original Theosophists) posits the notion that humans evolve through a series of initiations, each of which are precipitated by having achieved and stabilized progressively “higher” or more expanded states of consciousness. Through many incarnations humans experience lifetimes where there is almost no awareness of anything but survival and self/ego gratification (what Gurdjieff might term as “man as machine”) through those in which choices for love, harmlessness and service plus practices of self-reflection, meditation, are the basis for a re-orientation of one’s everyday life (like Gurdjieff, the idea that one’s everyday life is the means of awakening to advanced Soul oriented life) toward one’s inner life – the life of the Soul (Gurdjieff – essence?). This process supports increasing levels of conscious awareness until “Cosmic Consciousness” (something akin to what Advaita might call Unity Consciousness or Oneness or full Self-Realization) is reached.

At this point there is an opportunity to transcend the need for human incarnation and to move to another planetary or dimensional system or, invoking might be called the Boddhisatva Vow (described by Blavatsky in her book Voice of the Silence) which is to choose to turn back and support humanity until all beings are free (in Advaita the term would be awakened to their True Nature).

This process takes many lifetimes with the 1st initiation being an awakening out of the slumber of automatic living based on fear, defense and selfishness into a deep desire to know one’s Self beyond the confines of the ego. This eventuates many lifetimes of work of resolving the results of “cause and effect” meaning balancing karma incurred from the inability to understand or to act according to Divine Principles or Laws.

Those that have moved beyond the need to incarnate and are still supporting humanity in this way are known as Ascended Masters. The Ascended Masters exist in higher dimensions as a group called the Great White Brotherhood (Gurdjieff knew about this) who include the essence of such beings as Buddha, Jesus, St. Germain, Mother Mary and others who were the source advisors for those who brought through their teachings as a guide for awakening humanity. Helena Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine, Alice Bailey’s 24 books including a Treatise on Cosmic Fire and others were the conduits for this material, with much of it becoming influential in the spiritualist movements that arose in the early part of the 20th century.

Those who have taken the first initiation (of which one is usually not aware, except for a gradual reorientation of one’s focus from outer to inner life) become part of the New Group of World Servers who, while still embodied, work on behalf of the awakening of Humanity through the medium of their own talents, abilities and areas of focus. The second and third initiations (these are non ceremonial and simply initiate -mostly through moments of sudden realization, or extreme emotional duress – more advanced levels of consciousness) require a great deal of inner work relinquishing beliefs, thought forms and emotional complexes that are at a lower vibrational frequency.

Inner Work consists of studying the teachings of those who have achieved mastery level of consciousness, meditation, daily self-reflection, acts of service, following the doctrines of harmlessness, love and cultivating inner equanimity and acceptance.

From the Voice of the Silence, Blavatsky:

Stanza 136. … Self-Knowledge is of loving deeds the child.

Stanza 137. Have patience, candidate, as one who fears no failure, courts no success. Fix thy soul’s gaze upon that star whose ray thou art, the flaming star that shines within the lightless depths of ever-being, the boundless fields of the Unknown.[4]

Winter Solstice 2022

In ancient times and on up to the present, spiritual celebrations – many of them tied to celestial events - took place in power places.  And on those sites, the container for the energy was often a configuration of stones.  Whether a medicine wheel or the great stone circles of the Celtic world like Avebury, New Grange, St. Michaels Tor, Stonehenge, the pyramids of Egypt or South America, stones, often with special properties of conductivity or crystalline structure helped to create a high vibrational container to hold and amplify the energy. 

Many of these sites were oriented to receive the first light of a Solstice or Equinox, since the turning points of the year are times of energetic intensity – times, they say, when the veil is thinnest.  In other words, times when we are most in communion with the cosmic and planetary energies made available by the patterns of the planets, stars and galaxies.

We are in such a time now.  The winter solstice takes place in the Earth sign of Capricorn which incidentally rules rock and stone.  0 degrees of Capricorn – the degree of the Winter solstice - is one of four points on a cross formed by 0 degrees of each of the cardinal signs:  0 degrees Aries is the spring Equinox, 0 degrees Cancer is the summer Solstice and 0 degrees of Libra is the Fall Equinox.  These points make what is called a cardinal cross on the wheel of the Zodiac and this cross is one of the most basic and powerful symbols of planet Earth.  Cardinal signs represent leadership as each of the Cardinal signs leads a season – Capricorn leads out the season of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern.

The theme of leadership is important here as we delve into the significance of this particular Solstice. 

As you may know the planet Pluto has been moving through the sign of Capricorn since 2008 and Pluto holds the power of evolutionary level transformation.  In the last 15 years and especially in the last three years we have seen the dark side of our institutional authority structures exposed – our political systems, corporate systems, social welfare systems and medical systems have been shown to be hollow shells, inadequate and serving the needs of politicians and administrators more than the people.

And just like in our personal growth, we must look at and heal the shadow material in order to prepare for new foundations, new structures to hold new energy.  At the time of this Solstice with Sun at the 0 degree point of Capricorn, Pluto approaches its final degrees in that sign.  New beginnings follow upon endings.  What about this new beginning?  Pluto will leave Capricorn in March of 2023 to enter the progressive, visionary and consciousness based sign of Aquarius…and so it is consciousness itself that will be transformed from what it is today over the 15 or 16 years of Pluto’s transit through Aquarius.

And just as we must have high vibrational structures to contain and shape and express high vibrational energy, our social structures are being renovated and healed in order to receive the new Consciousness dawning on this planet.  There is a Bible story that tells us that we cannot pour new wine into old bottles…and we are both the New wine and the New bottles.

Structure and form are Capricorn words.  And the structure of our own lives has been irretrievably transformed since Pluto went into Capricorn in 2008.  Most of us here have spent the last 15 years or longer shedding the past, sometimes painfully letting go of karma, generational trauma, deeply embedded cultural and ancestral conditioning – so that we can literally become lighter!

We needed to shed what has been weighing us down for many generations so that we can hold a much higher frequency of consciousness.  This Solstice at 0 degrees Capricorn is at an exact 90 degree angle to our largest and most expansive and most inspirational planet – Jupiter.  Jupiter is itself at 0 degrees of the Cardinal sign Aries.  This is called the Aries point – the most potent degree in the Zodiac.  Aries represents new dawn, new beginnings, the birth canal for new initiatives, new identities and ways of embodying our most authentic self.

At the same time this new birth is not necessarily an easy delivery.  90 degrees in Astrology is called a square and while it is highly creative, it does not come without challenge. 

The question here is how can we use the structure of Capricorn, newly purged and upgraded by Pluto, as a container for this new energy, this new more authentic and autonomous, and courageous I AM within us that is birthing itself  from formlessness into form?  And how will this new I AM move through the world in transition from old Patriarchal rigidity into the coming Aquarian age of higher consciousness and vision?

And most importantly, what is our role?  How do we take on the mantle of eldership – whatever our age – and carry on the constructive attitudes and traditions of our ancestors while burning old tribal hatreds, traumas and violence on the funeral pyre of transformation?  What does it mean for us to take on the role of the New Elders?  Eldership is about taking responsibility, providing leadership and authority.  It means that we step fully into our own authenticity and whether we express that in our own lives or in our communities, with our own unique skills and creativity that we recognize that we are needed, we have signed up for this and that we truly the ones we have been waiting for.

We are in a time of turning points – of creating new structures to contain new energy, of stepping up into our roles as elders, responsible ones, mentors, helpers, healers and helpers, all in our own way and with our own unique talents.  Tonight we celebrate one of the most important of these portals of new energy – the winter solstice.  The time where the Sun – Sol, stands still – Stice.  These are the ancient traditions that have held up under the test of time and these are the ceremonies we will carry with us into the future.

Aquarius Full Moon - August 22, 2021

In the past month we have had one Full Aquarian Moon at 0 degrees of Leo and now, today a second at the very last degree of Leo.  The 29th degree of any sign is called the anarectic degree and it signifies the culmination and intensification of the energy of the sign.  As always, the Full Moon is an opposition, so we are experiencing now the culminating point on the Leo and Aquarius Axis – with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Aquarius, it’s opposite. 

Leo is a fire sign, whose symbol - the Lion - has been a part of the iconography of royalty from the time that humans joined together in groups and chose leaders.  Leo rules the heart and today’s Sun is shining in exact alignment with a star in the constellation of Leo known as the heart of the Lion – a star called Regulus which also means ruler. 

On the opposite side of the sky – the Moon shines bright and full in the Air sign Aquarius.  Aquarius rules technology, communities, associations and networks – any and all configurations of elements where there is interconnectedness.  Aquarius’ superpower is detachment.  The ability to see the bigger picture where one can pull out far enough to see how apparently separate elements DO interconnect.

Where Leo is warm, fiery and heartful, Aquarius is cool, detached and mentally polarized.  Where Leo takes the world into its heart to feel it, Aquarius’ genius is to see it from a distance, to understand it’s nature as energy.  A phrase associated with Aquarius is “I know”.  Just as the heartfulness of Leo can degrade into egotism and showing off,  “I know” can be the words of a know it all or a true expression of clairsentience…the kind of knowing that arises from wisdom, experience, intuition and which is grounded in Universal Love.

This is a time when we are gifted with the possibility for insights of a higher order.  A time when suddenly the dots connect and we really SEE- not just what it all means but also that all along – LOVE itself was behind it all…the kinds of breakthroughs that change our perspectives forever and that can change our lives.  When the Heart of the Lion and the Mind of the Waterbearer combine – we have a turning point moment in our own evolution and in the bigger picture a turning point in which the Advanced Consciousness of an evolving civilization is possible.

This Full Moon comes at a time when the chaos seems to be escalating out there – and it seems more impossible than ever to make sense of it all.  But the energies available to us now at this Full Moon combine to make the precise formula we need to negotiate through it.

Planting the Seeds of Purpose

We were made for these times.

It is important to remember who we are.  We do not need to change, transform or improve ourselves – we just need to consciously fertilize the seeds of a purpose that was decided long ago – before we took birth, before we chose to bring our formlessness into the world of form and express it in our own unique pattern.

We are already whole and we already exist as that wholeness - with one compelling distraction – the identification with a ME that is seeking something more or better and the belief that this ME is vulnerable and at risk of harm.  These two beliefs take us in the opposite direction than where our true self - the one that is already whole, complete and Divine – sits in perpetual stillness – waiting waiting for our return.

If we also become still – and turn toward ourselves – into the feeling OF ourselves - then we can sit and hold the space of unconditional love so that all of our protective and defensive strategies can dissolve and unbind themselves from our cellular memory.

“Everything can transform in the field of love” Clare Blanchflower

Right now we are facing a global transformation of the magnitude that has not been seen in this era.  And so this process of remembering who we are and why we are here is critical, because it is time for us to step up and into our purpose with confidence and courage.  And…that purpose might not be a job description but a Soul quality that you possess - one that emanates from you and to those around you.  The demand of the time might be to embody your groundedness, your empathy, your humour, your wisdom, ever more clearly. We, in all our uniqueness, are needed now.  It’s time to let ourselves be seen and heard. 

So today, now, in this time, we are engaged in an exercise of remembering what we already are.. the world that is waiting for us! It needs us now!
