Your Weekly COlor Scope

April 24 to May 3:

 

The theme of these days is Where is it All Going? People, animals, and things will be leaving on all levels. It is aprt of the current energy. Grief is appropriate in some cases, but it must be tempered by a knowing that there is plan and there is choice in all of this.

 

Overall Color for the Week:

 

There is sorrow in the air these days. It is a wave that is traversing the galaxy, and, as such, there can be some moving emanations coming forth from the cosmos. This can mean some odd events in surrounding planets and the Sun. Within the Earth, there is a sigh and a sorrow, and a knowing that certain things, though difficult, perhaps disastrous, even traumatic sometimes have to take place for the greater good to prevail as time goes on.

This is a week for being grounded and centered at all times. See things through the eyes of the heart, and practice compassion in all you encounter. This is also a time of great busy-ness, and you can find yourself immersed in various trivial tasks each day. Take a look at what you are doing and why you feel the need to be doing it. There are both meaning and direction in all of this. This is a time also when people are moving into new ways of acting and being. Some are aware of what they are doing and are in control of the changes they are making. Others are floundering as they find themselves without any real purpose, seeing their daily routines as empty, and not knowing what to do to make things more worthwhile. In those kinds of people, you will see that they are going out to do things just to do them, to buy things just to buy them to set up schedules just so they will not have to look at the fact that they have lost a sense of purpose. It is important to know into which group you fall, and to take control of your direction in order to build the foundation for the coming times. You have all that you need within, and it is well to take time each and every day to breathe and to connect, however that works best for you. There is a tumble coming within your routine, and you will also see people’s positions beginning to shift. This is a time for perspective, for seeing things from the long range, and somewhat from the outside. You are knowing what is truly important for you and everything that is around you must find a place according to your own path. This is an unsettled period, and you can find yourself adrift at times, but know that always you are in charge of that drift and can take the helm at any moment. You are moving towards your goal, there are some rough waters that need to be crossed. You have the power, the skill, and the knowing to navigate all of this.   Stay grounded and centered and let the true knowing of your heart be your guide.

On the larger scale, these days will bring a lot of ouches to the fore in so many areas. Gaia is twisting and turning as she is attempting to reach a kind of temporary equilibrium. This can lead to things being brought up from old times along with a toppling of current icons and regulations. There is weather in the offing this week. Heavy winds, surf, tornadoes, volcanoes, quakes, and lightning are in the offing. This will lead to questioning on all levels, leading eventually to a new respect for Gaia and her needs and even, for some, her very existence. Gaia is a living being, and she will make that known in these days. There is a holy spot that will come to the fore as a place of miracles. The transportation industry will be facing more challenges as the winds and currents are no longer predictable. Meanwhile, those who feel they hold the power will be staging some crazy events in different parts of the world to attempt to show the masses that they are still in charge. Unfortunately, people are not buying it anymore. There will be repercussions that these … what would you call them, jokers had not expected. All is changing and this time will make that very obvious. As markets go up and down and collapse is hinted at, as government’s move to the place of crises, as programs are shown to be mockeries, as even the animal world makes it clear that it will no longer subservient. Theses times, these days are bringing such change.   It is starting now, and will continue.   There will be also more activity in the skies from those extra-terrestrials who are concerned at the way things are continuing right now. There can be an interesting change of philosophy in science that will affect the energy industry.

Your COlor Scope for Saturday, 4/26

Saturday, April 26:   Spring Green

It is time to start doing all of those things that you have been putting off. You know what they are. It is also time to take a look at why you have been putting them off. And then, there is the whole idea of timing. You are shifting into the vibration with which you came in her to resonate. There will be many indications of this today as you find yourself inspired by something that just seems to pop up out of nowhere. This is a day for reviewing projects that you have started, to see what the impetus was behind them, to see whether it is worth finishing all or any of them, to know whether you are still the same person who started them, and if they have no more purpose for you, it is time to jettison.

Here is a photograph I took in my yard back in the fall as the wood pile was being formed.  It looks as though the energy of fire was ready to work with the wood:

Your COlor Scope for Friday, 4/25

Friday, April 25:   Lavender Rose

Just what is going on? At one moment you are feeling totally in control and at one with everything, and the next you feel as though the rug has been pulled from under you. There are a lot of distractions in the air today, and it is important that you can see what is important through all of this. There are some rather critical decisions that need to be made today. There are a number of conflicting energies in the mix right now, and if you can feel your way through those that are illusion, you will be able to discover that truth that will give you the answers and the confidence that you have been looking for. You are never alone. There is a message that will come to you from friend or coincidence, but it will make you smile.

UFO Fleet Over Thailand 4/20

Fleet of UFOs Recorded Over Thailand On April 20, 2014, UFO Sighting News.

Date of sighting: April 20, 2014
Location of sighting: Thailand

This fleet of glowing orbs appeared two days ago over Thailand. The objects fly together at a matched speed. At the end of the video the objects disappear and reappear, which looks like they are passing behind a nearby tree. I don’t believe its the UFOs flashing. I messaged the person and will have an update soon on the exact city in Thailand. SCW

UFO Over Australia

Commercial Pilot Take Photo Of UFO Over Australia, April 2014, UFO Sighting News.

Actual photo taken by pilot, April 2014. Click to enlarge.


Date of sighting: April 2014
Location of sighting: Caloundra, Queensland, Australia

Sunshine Coast Daily News States:
A COMMERCIAL pilot with more than 30 years’ experience has been left scratching his head over mysterious lights he saw over Caloundra on Good Friday. The pilot, who does not want to be identified, said he had never seen anything through the cockpit window that compared to the experience. It has the self-confessed “world’s greatest sceptic” questioning everything he believes about UFOs. The Pelican Waters man was admiring the sky with friends about 8pm last Friday when they first saw two coloured lights in the sky. He said they reminded him of Chinese lanterns, rising high into the sky and heading south and then east. Then a third warm-orange glow appeared and suddenly changed direction, tracked north-east and quickly disappeared. “We were looking for an identifier; a beacon or strobe light but there wasn’t any,” he said. “I thought it had the characteristics of an object that could fly and I was curious as to what the lights were.”

Your Color VIbe for THursday, 4/24

Thursday, April 24:   Sea Blue

It is time for a lot of things to get done, and you will be aware of that today. Take advantage of the energy right now to get done some of those things that have been hanging over you for some time now. You know that change is coming, and yet, you are still holding onto the past, to things that are just mere stuff, to people who may not have your best interests at heart or even those Psyche Sappers who cling to you because you allow them to. It is time for a shake up, and the current energy gives you a boost in that direction. It may seem scary or overwhelming at first, but as you move into it, you will wonder why you hesitated for so long. You will feel good afterwards. Done is enough

Kansas Safe Hitch-Hiking Project

In Rural Kansas, an Experiment Makes Hitchhiking Safe Again

The people behind the project borrowed some tricks from ride-sharing apps like Lyft, but tweaked the details so the rides are free.

“We’re not stuck in a traffic jam. We are the traffic jam.”

What I love best about the sharing economy is how it squeezes good value out of the unused bits of our society that would otherwise go to waste. And nowhere do you have so much waste as in our transportation system. A personal car uses less than 1 percent of its energy to move a passenger, and 80 percent of our passenger capacity is driving around empty.

That’s hundreds of millions of empty seats in this country! Meanwhile, 45 percent of the country has no access to transit. What a perfect opportunity to share!

Of course, plenty of smart people are already employing new Smartphone apps to put those empty seats to work. For example, I could use the Lyft or Uber apps to call up a citizen taxi, or download the Carma app to share my morning commute. That is, I could do these things if I lived in a big city like San Francisco or Austin. Unfortunately, I live in rural Northeast Kansas where we have neither transit, nor the critical mass of people needed for those apps to work well.

Hitchhiking is an easy, cheap, and flexible way to get around—in many countries it’s a primary mode of transit.

We denizens of the countryside have historically accepted a big trade-off. Peaceable enjoyment and low housing costs come at the price of a tremendous amount of driving. And when the car is our only option, we are incredibly vulnerable to fluctuations in the price and disruptions in the supply of gas. I spent two years grumbling about all the driving, but feeling helpless to do anything about it.

Then I heard a radio podcast about hitchhiking and how it’s not nearly as dangerous as the media have led us to believe. The point was made that hitchhiking is such an easy, cheap, and flexible way to get around—in many countries it’s a primary mode of transit. So the show argued, we should give it another chance. For some reason, this idea grabbed me so fiercely that I thought about little else until I had designed a way to do just that—mainstream hitchhiking and make it safe, easy, reliable, and fun. What I came up with was a nonprofit organization that I called Lawrence OnBoard.

Here’s how it works: participants can sign up as riders or drivers or both. Drivers can sign up for free. They get a window cling with their member number. Riders pay a membership fee and we provide them with a background check, a photo ID and a folding dry erase board branded with the club logo. The rider can write his destination on the board, stand by a safe roadside, hold up the board and wait for a passing car to stop. The rider can then text in the driver’s member number (or license plate number if the driver is not a member) to Lawrence OnBoard.

That makes a record of the ride which is important as a safety backup, as a way to leave feedback and it enters the driver in a drawing for a prize. The prize is a fun incentive for the driver that doesn’t require an awkward cash transaction and doesn’t turn the driver into an unlicensed taxi service. Lawrence OnBoard will provide training, a map of good locations, and a marketing campaign.

With the power of the sharing economy, we now have the chance to build a brand new model for public transportation.

That’s the plan, and in 2013, I conducted field tests to see if it could work. Twenty-three volunteers went out on 121 test rides in and around the Lawrence area and the results were pretty astonishing. Even with random strangers picking up, 95 percent of the volunteers got a ride in less than half an hour, and our average wait time was less than seven minutes! In some prime locations, we could reliably get a ride in less than two minutes. When I saw these results, I know we were onto something.

I personally used my dry erase board to commute to town for most of the summer and I found that it was safe, easy, and reliable and saved a lot of gas. But even better, I met more of my neighbors, learned what was happening in the neighborhood and even made a couple of business deals. Building community like this is the big strength of the sharing economy and it’s something we are sadly missing when we all drive alone.

Of course, this ridesharing concept does have its limitations. One shouldn’t do it at night, it’s not good for transporting small children, and riders need to be over 18 and use good judgment. We still need to conduct another season of research to back up the preliminary findings and continue to test and map good locations to ride from. We’re also raising funds through grants and some crowdfunding to launch a pilot, hopefully before the end of the year. You can help our efforts by making a donation at RocketHub.

Americans are eager for better transportation solutions. The carless college students in Lawrence, environmentally conscious families who want to pare down to one car, and populations who can’t drive are especially interested in this project, since it focuses on short, local trips.

When I presented the research findings to the Transportation Research Board I got an enthusiastic response from transportation professionals all across the country. Lawrence OnBoard has been featured on podcasts, public radio stations, blogs, and the news. Most recently, we were named a finalist in the TEDxFulbright Social Innovation Challenge and got to pitch the idea on a TED stage!

We are so fortunate to live in this modern age. With the tools and technology currently at our disposal and the power of the sharing economy, we now have the chance to build a brand-new model for public transportation. Imagine a network of neighbors driving neighbors. This network is nimble and can fill in the gaps between trains, buses, and bikes. It’s cheap and efficient because it makes better use of the cars already on the road. And it’s a transportation system that’s built on our best resource: our human kindness.

Check out on our progress at www.lawrenceonboard.org.

See you on the road!

The PEEPonauts

PEEP-O-NAUTS TAKE RISKY TRIP TO THE EDGE OF SPACE: On April 20th, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus launched a pair of suborbital helium balloons to the stratosphere. One payload carried a radiation sensor to measure the effects of the Easter geomagnetic storm on Earth’s upper atmosphere. The other payload carried a colony of halobacteria in an experiment to find out if the extremophiles could live at the edge of space. In honor of the holiday, the students launched some peeps as halobacteria companions. As this movie shows, it’s risky being a peep-o-naut:

The near-miss only 2000 ft. above the launch site almost brought an explosive end to the mission. Fortunately, the two balloons carried on to the stratosphere, gathering data on the solar storm in progress during the flight. Here is what peeps look like at the edge of space. Later, the peeps and halobacteria parachuted to Earth, landing in a tree in the Inyo Mountains of central California.

Strong Quake Off British Columbia

Very strong earthquake near the coast of Vancouver Island, Canada – NO Tsunami – NO serious damage

Last update: April 24, 2014 at 5:42 pm by By

 

Update 17:35 UTC : And to complete the story we add a video from CBC where a meteorologist/seismologist explains exactly the same what we have reiterated soon after the earthquake struck :

Update 14:55 UTC : The seismogram from this earthquake as it was registered at a station in Oregon.

Screen Shot 2014-04-24 at 16.54.32

Update 14:15 UTC : The aftershocks so far :

Screen Shot 2014-04-24 at 16.15.13

Update 13:28 UTC : A video roundup (compilation) which we like a lot

Update 09:33 UTC : Lower Mainland videos as compilated by Gloalnews Canada. Nothing spectacular, but some swaying of chandeliers.

Update 09:25 UTC : Pat Quealey from Emergency Management B.C. said they are hearing there may be some minor damage, but no significant damage. However, they are checking into reports that a First Nations lodge may have shifted on its foundations during the earthquake.

Update 05:03 UTC : A word of “Thank You” to all those people who have felt this earthquake and have reported what they have felt to this site. We (the people behind earthquake-report.com) and our many readers from all over the world are really appreciating your contributions. Together we make the best report in the world!

Update 04:38 UTC : The graphic below gives an overview of the historic earthquakes in the greater epicenter area (courtesy British Columbia Institute of Technology)
+
On October 28 2012 a Massive (much stronger than today) Magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck along the Queen Charlotte sound. Click here to read our in-depth article of this earthquake.

Screen Shot 2014-04-24 at 06.38.27

Update 04:30 UTC : USGS has now decreased the Magnitude by one point to M6.6 (initially M6.7). Recalculations of Magnitudes are a normal aspect of earthquakes (very complicated science). The main movement should have been a North-West to South-East (see beachball below)

Update 04:23 UTC : The map below shows the tectonic plates in the greater epicenter area. The star represents the epicenter below the North American plate. Very strong to even massive earthquakes are not uncommon here due to the strong movement of the plates. Left plate : the Pacific plate – Right plate : North American continental plate – South plate : Explorer plate – The area has really complicated tectonics partly with all kings of faulting along the different tectonic plates.

Screen Shot 2014-04-24 at 06.16.44

Update 04:15 UTC : Max Wyss theoretical damage engine does not expect any injuries or fatalities from this earthquake. Always nice to see our expectations confirmed

Update 04:06 UTC : Every experience report we receive from Canadians has also an MMI shaking intensity value as it was perceived by the reporting people. This tels us a maximum average light shaking (MMI IV) which would not lead to any damage. A report from Port Hardy (close to the epicenter) is confirming this.

Update 04:06 UTC : In downtown Vancouver some residents in high rises buildings said they felt their building or chandeliers sway.

Update 04:02 UTC : Historical seismicity map for area around Vancouver Island M6.6 strike-slip quake (courtesy Jascha Polet). The historical Faulting Mechanism map shows mainly a horizontal strike/slip mechanism in the area. Earthquakes are occurring at both sides of the subduction zone.

Screen Shot 2014-04-24 at 06.01.30

Update 03:56 UTC : Residents in Port Hardy said the ground shook for about 35 to 40 seconds. The I Have Felt It map below shows only weak to very weak shaking on Vancouver Island.

Screen Shot 2014-04-24 at 05.57.44

Update 03:54 UTC : Most reports we are seeing right now are telling fallen objects in houses, nothing seriously. Groceries were knocked off the shelves at the local Overwaitea store. People are saying they felt it as far away as Langley and Kelowna. People are also reporting that the shaking lasted about 20 to 30 seconds.

Update 03:52 UTC : We notice multiple moderate to strong aftershocks in the epicenter area

Update 03:49 UTC : The same area was hit by a M6.9 earthquake in 1918. That earthquake was a little to the South East and below land. The epicenter of this earthquake is on top of the subduction zoner where the Pacific plate subducts the North American plate.

Update : Initial Focal Mechanism of the earthquake as reported by Jascha Polet, seismologist. The beachball shows a strike/slip mechanism (mainly horizontal movement). This was also the case in most historic earthquakes in the area.

Screen Shot 2014-04-24 at 05.44.41

Update : The strongest shaking as perceived by people along the Vancouver Island coast should be MMI V or moderate shaking.

The Cardinal Grand Cross

Crucify the Old Stories, Resurrect Your Divine Body – the Peak of the Cardinal Grand Cross, Venus in Pisces, and the Grand Water Trine

cardinal crossWelcome to the most intense astrology of 2014, the Cardinal Grand Cross – humanity at a crossroads, a radical turning point in our personal and collective stories. What’s dying? What wants to be born, reborn, reclaimed?

The peak activation of the Cross (April 20-23) just happens to coincide with Easter, honoring the death and resurrection of the crucified Christ. Like all Christian holidays, Easter has its roots in a pagan holy day – the Spring Equinox celebration of fertility and rebirth (in case you were wondering what eggs and bunnies have to do with Jesus).

The co-incidence of the Cardinal Cross and the Christian holiday of crucifixion points to the bigger story of now – our transition out of the Age of Pisces (the Fish), which started around the birth of Christ. We’re working through shadow Pisces dynamics of worship, martyrdom and victimization, resulting from projecting god outside the self, and separating spirit and matter, consciousness and embodiment, divinity and sexuality. Where are you playing the victim or martyr? Where are you sacrificing your truth, denying your desires, giving away your authority and feeling crucified?

cardinal cross

The precise alignment of the Cardinal Cross (see image) occurs at 13 degrees, the number sacred to the Goddess. Venus, the archetypal divine feminine since ancient times – known as Inanna, Isis, Ishtar, Astarte, etc. – completes five synodic cycles, forming a five-pointed star (pentagram) in the sky, every eight years. 5+8=13. The Moon, another signifier of the feminine and traditionally associated with the Triple Goddess (Maiden, Mother, Crone), completes 13 cycles in one year.

As I wrote in my previous post, Venus is extra-powerful right now – both of April’s Eclipses occur in her signs (Libra and Taurus), and she’s in Pisces, the sign of her exaltation. The symbol for Pisces is said to come from the Vesica Piscis/Pisces (literally, “the bladder of a fish”), an ancient geometrical figure (see image). The Vesica Pisces has been associated with the Goddess for thousands of years, and more specifically, with the feminine power of giving birth – the almond-shaped figure in the center symbolizes the vagina.

vesica piscesDerek Murphy, in the brilliantly titled article Mary’s Vulva: Jesus Christ, Vesica Pisces and the Christian Fish Symbol, explains:

“In the mysteries of Ephesus, the Goddess wore this symbol [Vesica Pisces] over her genital region, and in the Osiris story, the lost penis was swallowed by a fish which represented the vulva of Isis. Likewise, in many examples of Christian art, Jesus Christ is proceeding from this symbol, representing his birth from the Goddess.”

Murphy goes on to show how the Christian Fish symbol comes from the Vesica Pisces – which you can see in the center shape plus the lines of the tail. (Now when I see the Fish on the back of someone’s car, I think: Mary’s vulva.)

Why am I spending so much time on this? Who cares? One of the major themes of the Cardinal Grand Cross is transforming, healing and breaking free from the old, disempowering “origin stories” – signified by Jupiter in Cancer opposite Pluto and square Uranus. Whether or not you were the direct recipient of religious conditioning, we in the modern West are steeped in the Judeo-Christian paradigm of “original sin.” Sex is dirty and evil, women’s sexuality is especially evil, and so we’re all, so to speak, screwed from the beginning.

venus in pisces

Can we all just pause for a moment and imagine what adolescence would have been like, what our intimate relationships and sex lives would be like, what our relationship with our own bodies would be like, and what the whole freakin’ world would be like, if we’d grown up with a sexual Jesus, a lover of women? With a Mary Magdalene who was Jesus’s spiritual equal and partner in sacred sexuality? With a Mother Mary whose “divine birth” of Jesus had nothing to do with chastity and everything to do with the sacredness of ALL life, as if the ability to create another human in one’s body were a divine miracle in and of itself?

Mars, the Sacred Masculine, is the most “personal” planet involved in the Cardinal Cross, i.e., the planet closest to Earth and therefore the most accessible entry point. Mars in the Cross is about shedding old, distorted versions of masculinity, which we see living large in the culture in the form of war, rape and planetary destruction. The masculine becomes distorted without the balance and integration of the feminine, and this is the agenda of Mars Retrograde in Venus-ruled Libra – the re-wedding of opposites, the restoration of the Sacred Marriage. We transform the origin stories that have distorted the masculine and excised the feminine by embodying our own divinity, by divinizing our bodies and sexuality.

grand water trine

Support for this healing and transformative process comes in the form of a Grand Water Trine (which looks like a big triangle – see image) that’s happening simultaneously with the Cardinal Grand Cross. Venus conjoins Chiron in Pisces – signifying healing the feminine through dissolving the false separation between spirit and body – and they trine Saturn in Scorpio (shadow work) and Jupiter in Cancer (origin stories, the roots of religion).

While a Grand Cross holds the energy of maximum friction – and, let’s face it, friction is usually what it takes to motivate us into action and make a change – a Grand Trine is an alignment of ease, flow and harmony, and requires more intention and awareness to access its power. In the Water element – the uber-yin, invisible realm of feelings, intuition and dreams – this Grand Trine is about FEELING and BEING, though, with Saturn (structure, boundaries, discipline) involved, this being-ness wants to happen in a structured way. This could look like: setting aside a specific time to let yourself cry it all out, grieve, really feel everything – and then come back; or committing to a consistent practice of meditation, yoga, sacred sexuality, dancing, making art, communing with nature – whatever activity (or non-activity) helps you connect with that feeling of expansion beyond the “little self,” the feeling of union with all life.

The optimal use of the Grand Water Trine is to help us dissolve the false polarities and dualities that keep us stretched between opposites, and return to the truth of our wholeness, our embodied divinity. This is the consciousness that can support us in following the call of the Cross – stepping into our authenticity, authority and power. The unconscious, shadow expression of this Grand Water Trine brings a feeling of poor me, it’s all too much, I just want to check out/escape/go back to sleep. Again, balancing the yin and yang is key – there’s a time to soothe and nurture and comfort and rest, and a time to take a risk, step outside your comfort zone, and do the very thing that terrifies/excites you.
