It is time for transformation! Not only is that what Friday’s article was about, but it is also what is called for with October 23’s Solar Eclipse.
On Thursday, October 23 at 5:56 pm Eastern Daylight Time, the Moon and the Sun will be at the same degree of Scorpio and the shadow of the Moon will partially block the Sun from view. The eclipse should be visible in the US and, in Baltimore, Maryland the maximum eclipse occurs at 6:15 pm. REMEMBER: do not look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse!
There is a lot of technical information available about the eclipse and about how to safely view it. Astrologically, this eclipse is all about transformation. And it occurs at the same degree as the eclipse on October 23, 1995. Where were you then? What was going on in your life?
You are being invited to release what is no longer serving the evolving you. Be conscious of this as you go through your week. And things should ease up after Mercury goes direct (The dreaded retrograde is over!) on Saturday, October 25.
We also enjoy a celestial show of meteors from Orion, peaking on October 22. What a fun week in the skies! Look at Orion in the early morning hours of the 22nd and see if you can see some of these ‘shooting stars.’ The Orionids, as they are called, are actually produced by Halley’s Comet – they are not ‘stars’.
In the spirit of transformation, Richard and I are offering a workshop in Maryland to help you find balance in an unbalanced world. The Alchemical Inner Marriage Workshop is offered on Saturday, October 25 in Severna Park, Maryland. We’d love to have you join us as we share an experiential journey to connect you with your Inner Masculine and Inner Feminine and to balance these two energies so that you can have balance and peace in your life. We’re very excited about sharing the day with you (we even provide lunch!) so please check out the details here: Alchemical Inner Marriage
Our short presentation on this subject recently at ACT, A Community of Transformation, was very well-received and people are eager to delve more deeply into learning tools for being peace in the world. The Early Bird investment is available through today, October 20.
If you haven’t been joining us for The Oracle Speaks events, where I channel messages from The Divine Feminine, you are really missing some fascinating teachings and guidance for these days of transformation. I am doing these events once a month (one time during each Sun sign) and attendees are experiencing shifts just by participating/listening. Check out ‘Oracle’ at the website to see the upcoming dates: ORACLE Remember that you can join us via computer or telephone if you can’t be here in person. And those who register receive the recording and can send in questions even if they can’t participate in person.
SAVE THE DATE: The next Possibilities Playshop is December 13! Come play with us and create your own Playbook for the coming Moon Cycles. Fun!
Embrace shift this week!
PS: The recording of The Oracle Speaks channeled message from last week is now available. The Divine Feminine offered incredible guidance for our evolution; and they offered amazing help as we begin to become aware of our Cosmic Bodies and expand into our Cosmic Auras! The recording can be purchased from my website: TheScientificMystic.com

Hostage Situation – Inside Yourself? – Richard’s Commentary
October 8, 2014 — RichardI can certainly relate to Rosemary’s Exploration this week. And it’s not any one or big fear that holds me back from “living my richest life.” It’s usually little things. And when I move beyond the fear and look back I think: “what was I ever afraid of?”
Most of my little fears come from my childhood. I was an only child for a long time – my next brother came along when I was already eight. I was protected and even revered within my extend and large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. And because family was always there I didn’t have to venture out much into greater society.
So, when Rosemary asks: What part of you is holding another part hostage? I can usually point to my inner child – that protected and easy living six year-old.
Rosemary is exactly right when she says:
But most of the fears that I see with clients represent a conflict between a part that wants to step forward and a part that is afraid to do that.
It can be around any issue: a relationship, a job, money, family, taking a risk, making a decision. There is a feeling of wanting to move and yet, at the same time, a sense of paralysis.
My adult self always wants to step forward; I am usually energetic, decisive and know what I want. But sometimes that six year-old digs in his heals and sets up a block out of some weird sense of protectiveness.
Does this ever happen to you? Do you ever feel paralysis as you work toward an important goal? When this happens to me I usually have to go inside to work through the issue. Sometimes I even have a talk with the six year-old to calm any fears he may be experiencing. I remind him of several factors in the situation:
This inner dialogue can take several forms: meditation, writing, even sometimes a shamanic journey (for me this is similar to an inner guided meditation) to visit my places of safety and my power animals. I can even take my six year-old into the future to see the positive outcome and allay any further fear.
Of course using a coach or counselor is always an option. Inner child work can be very powerful and productive. The tools and help are there for all of us to “live our richest lives!”
