Finally … something to write about! I’ve been waiting for this day for quite awhile and it’s here. Pluto will move into the Sign of Capricorn at 6:37 pm PST! The importance of this planetary movement is literally historic, and quite momentous.

Pluto has been in the sign of Sagittarius since November 11th, 1995. Chances are you remember exactly where you were, who you were with and what you were doing when Pluto switched signs — I know exactly what I was doing, that’s for sure. (Insert deep, private thoughts here.)

Whatever transformations you will experience depends on a few things:

1) The placement of Pluto in your Natal Astrological Chart and how this transit will aspect it; and

2) The placement of Saturn in your Natal Astrological Chart and how this transit will aspect it;

Pluto is considered the Planetary Ruler of the sign of Scorpio, itself the Zodiac Sign of Transformation, the Occult, Legacies, Sex and Death.

Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, which is the planet which rules Career, Recognition, Restriction, Karma and — you guessed it — Death.

What happens when the planet of intense transformation enters the rather harsh sign of Capricorn? Nothing less than a revolution. A physical, economic, spiritual and psychic meltdown of epic proportions.

Not to mention the fact that the end of the Mayan Calendar (December 21st, 2012) happens to occur during this particular placement. Coincidence perhaps? Yeah, right. Still, it’s not all bad news you know. Especially if you happen to have Capricorn Rising (or anticipate positive aspects as the result of this placement).

Still, it’s going to be time to wake up and smell the cat food, as it were. I’ll post more about this historical bit of Astrological news in my Magickal Forum under the Astrology Section as soon as possible.

In the meantime, take some time to light a Candle (Indigo Blue, Black or Dark Red) and meditate on how you can get the most out of this intense time.

Today is the 60th Anniversary of the death of the avatar of Western Magick, Edward Alexander Crowley (more famously known as Aleister Crowley).

As a Thelemite, I always observe the Holy Days of Thelema, and earlier today remembered to meditate on the special energy of this day; however, at 11:34 pm (PST) the remembrance hit me full force. I felt his spirit must have left close to this time all those years ago.

Crowley, wherever you are . . . say hi to David for me.

Pluto is currently conjunct the place in our Galaxy (The Milky Way) known as The Galactic Center. As of yesterday, Pluto was at 26:52 Degrees Sagittarius, thus is activating that particular degree, effecting all life on our planet Earth (Gaia). We recently experienced this aspect on December 29th, 2006, and the last time before that was 248 years ago!

The energy associated with the 26th Degree of Sagittarius being activated will definitely affect us mere mortals. So what, you many wonder. Well, if you happen to have any planet between 24 to 29 Degrees of Sagittarius, you are in for quite a ride, (and not necessarily a smooth one either!) In fact, if you happen to have any planet in your Astrological Birth Chart between those mentioned in any sign, you will feel the energy as well.

Those of you who happen to have planets creating positive astrological aspects with those same degrees will no doubt have a more joyful (yet still, powerfully transformative) time. Case in point, those who have planets in the late degree of the Fire Signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) will be experiencing a Trine effect.

Those born with planets at late degrees (22-29) in any Water or Earth signs may feel more agitated than usual. Of course, those with planets at late degrees of Libra or Aquarius may also have a lessening of their worries. Those born under the sign of Gemini (being the opposite sign of Sagittarius) will, however, have possibly the most difficult time of all, as Sagittarius proves to stir up a whirlwind of chaos in its wake. Of course, the Chaos Magicians in the crowd will enjoy that experience immensely. LOL.

As I mentioned, the last time Pluto made this aspect to The Galactic Center was 248 years ago. You know, the time of the American Revolution, and we all know what a safe, comfy time that was! So get your tri-corner hats out, and buckle up your pilgrim boots, ‘cos this aspect is going to definitely have a major impact on The United States of America, (which is receiving a very unfavorable aspect by this placement, in case you didn’t notice!)

It’s time to wake up and take stock of your position in life — are you going in the most positive direction? If not, expect some trials and tribulations that will force you to change your ship’s direction for a more wonderful destination.

The Full Moon will occur in the sign of Taurus at 9:51 pm (PDT) and 12:51 am (EDT), at 2:23 Degrees.

The Moon (also known as Luna), is considered exalted in the earthy sign of Taurus — a fact that lends more awareness of the preciousness of Life, despite its many ups and downs.Although Taurus is an earth sign, it is ruled by the planet Venus, Goddess of Beauty, Fertility and the Arts. It’s no wonder why many of us may feel incredibly inspired at this time, especially poets, musicians and artists.

A great way to celebrate the Full Moon in Taurus is to create something beautiful, create a sumptuous feast for yourself and your loved ones, paint a picture, enjoy music — whatever you choose to do, immerse yourself totally.The Venusian energy of this lunation offers a chance to heal and come to terms with harsher realities of life, something that many Southern Californians may need right now.

Have a mystical, magickal day!

.’.93.’.

It seems that some of my greatest inspirations were born under the astrological sign of Libra. John Lennon is a musical hero, and Aleister Crowley is a magickal one.

I have to say that the writings and teachings of Crowley (aka The Master Therion), have been the most influential, especially considering my entire life has been dedicated to the learning and practice of the art of Magick.

Today, I’d like to pay my respects to Crowley on his 132nd birthday. His influence in the world continues to be felt through his Proclamation of the Law of Thelema, which ushered in the 93rd Current in the form of the Aeon of Horus, the Crowned and Conquering Child.

To learn more about Crowley’s ideas and magickal philosophies, please read The Book of the Law, or feel free to write me for more links and info.Albeit, Crowley (as a mere human) had his flaws and foibles, but as a Magician he had no equal, although there are those who might argue the point.

To learn more about Crowley, the Man and Magus, I hope you’ll spend a minute to read a bit about him at the Voxx Magickal Forum, and see for yourself.

Crowley, wherever you are … thank you for all the magickal gifts you’ve helped me to discover and use to manifest my True Will. I can honestly say, that the use of High Magick has enabled me to attract the health, wealth, knowledge and love that is every human’s birthright.

If you’d like to learn more about The Art and Practice of High Magick, feel free to contact me or check my list of available classes.

In the meantime, below are some additional links I feel might be useful for those of you who have yet to discover this incredible man for yourself. I suggest you read Crowley’s writings for yourself, and to make it easy for you, just go to the right side of this page, and scroll down a bit until you see my Magickal Library picks on the right-hand side. I’ve set up direct links so you can order Crowley’s books easily.

If you’d like to celebrate the birth of the Magus, light a candle at 11:30 pm (PDT), I know I will.
