Dear Friend - here is the latest Blog from Og. The Sun , today, 21 Dec., will enter Capricorn at 17.47 U.T. - and thus begin the deep, dark, solemn, sacred days which deliver us, step by step to Christmas Day - the day upon which the Sun can be observed to rise a little earlier, set a little later, evidence of the Return of the Light! - a time of great relief and joy to our forefathers, and none the less significant to all of us, now.
It might be appropriate, in this edition, to take a look at 2010, from the Astrological viewpoint. Astrology, properly understood and interpreted, does seem to indicate What The Universe Is Thinking- all Creation, manifest and unmanifest, or explicate and implicate, if you prefer, is a Unity; Wholistic, Fractal, even, and Man -"The Measure of All Things", able to interpret what is being "thunk" by the Great Cosmic Being. New Thoughts constantly arise, possibly including suggestions and encouragement as to How To Prepare for a major change of Ages -as in:- Pisces to Aquarius. As well as the end of a great Epoch in the Mayan, and other traditions-no great mystery if, as they did, you understand the nature of the cycles involved ;- as many clocks strike "Midnight" simultaneously.
One is reminded of the story of the Prodigal Son- that's us, folks, humanity in general- are we preparing to return "home" after a very long self-exile, enriched and strengthened, though, through our repeated and intensive experiences in this Earthly environment?
In the short term though ! - In 2010 probably the "busiest" area of the Zodiac is the region we know as the Sign Capricorn. The North Node of the Moon remains there for the year, suggesting
we depend a little less on tribal and familial allegiances (though they have their place), and begin to move out of the Nursery- and "plant ourselves out" in the wider world and the greater Universe - to evolve a little. Symbolically, we climb the hill (Capricorn) above our "village" (Cancer) , to appreciate the great span of the sky and stars above (Aquarius), and to gain objectivity concerning our lives, sensing the long-term prospectus, touching the Timeless in our solitary time upon the Heights. Reminds us of the Tarot Card "The Hermit".
Saturn Square Pluto in 2010 has been described as a "shrinking transformation" , as pressure is experienced on all fronts ; best encountered with authenticity and simplicity of outlook.
Saturn Opposite Uranus, on and off during 2010 represents contrasting and opposing opinions. For/against change. For/against the precept of Global Warming. For/against remaining in the E.U.You get the picture. Down here we see in black and white."Up there" we see in a vast and harmonious range of colours derived from the eternal Love and Intelligence of a great central, spiritual Sun.
Both Neptune and Uranus reach critical stages in their cycles - Neptune for inspiration and deep insight into the nature, effect and sustaining power of Spirit, as well as the great gift of friendship, as it contunues its progress through Aquarius- see the waters pour!.Uranus -be surprised! The unexpected, the radical; news and views of and from Space. Revolutionary rumbles, too - as when Popeye says:- "I can't stands no more!!"...especially in the Summer months when Uranus is joined for a while by Jupiter in early Aries. Things move quickly at such times when so many planets aspect each other from early degrees of the Cardinal Signs. If we can remember to be STILL ! and practice kindness in the midst of it all ...
Many thanks for your kind attention. I wish a Happy and Peaceful Solstice time to all Friends of Og's Blog..
As Ever;- David Matthews. (aka OG.)

The Great Attractor
Dear Friend -another mailing from Og, this time with more percentage of Astrology to the Pound..... The Sun, from our Earthly perspective is now approaching the middle degrees of the Sign Sagittarius, the Archer, where lies, at 14 Degrees, one Minute Sag., the "Great Attractor", a massive concentration of Tens of Thousands (really!), of Galaxies. Our "home" galaxy, the Milky Way, together with our "neighbour" the Andromeda Galaxy, and a host of others are speeding towards this great Cosmic Metropolis. Everything, it seems, is in motion. And "down here" you are scarcely aware of it, so well does Mother Earth hold us in balance as she twirls along in her weaving dance around the Sun. Which itself is orbiting Galactic Central Point, at approx. 27 Degrees Sag..( vide. - Monty Python's "Universe Song" by Eric Idle.).
No wonder, on the principle of "as above, so below", do events move quickly in this, the Season of Sagittarius; people are drawn together, messages and mutual greetings fly around the Planet like a sheaf of arrows from the Archer's Bow. There is excitement, as when a great Ship approaches Port after a long voyage - passengers and crew are glad to see the twinkling lights of "home", and there is an outbreak of fellow-feeling, exchange of Addresses (E-mails!) , expressions of friendship and Goodwill, etc. All aboard the S.S. Jupiter !
Meanwhile, here in Totnes (the current physical location of the writer, Og), the Transition Town movement is active, and growing, and, on Saturday last, was the inspiration for a "Free Market" in the Civic Hall, where the good citizens of Totnes were encouraged to bring unwanted items, and to take away desired items, no money involved; fun, liberating, a great idea, may it spread across the Planet. On that day there was a Grand Trine in Fire Signs, of Moon, Mercury and Mars, with Generous Jupiter, in Aquarius, as the "point" and outlet of the said "Fiery" energy and enthusiasm, as a Community "Event" with extensive, positive effect, the message, the INTENT , as always, broadcasting far and wide through the Ether.
Whether or not you assent to the "official" line on Global Warming (surely the Sun has something to do with it ?) - the Transition Town movement certainly draws attention to How We Live On The Planet. Yet, the concept is not new to very many who have always lived "cleanly" and conscientiously on the Earth. Not to mention the majority of Earth-Dwellers who have scarcely been able to enjoy the Benefits (?) of our Consumer Society, and therefore, perhaps have little upon the Conscience for which to atone and make good by Transitioning, except perhaps UP, to a more decent and humane life in a fairer world, inspired and infused with Spiritual Wisdom and a Freedom which we have scarcely known, but which is now on the horizon (2012 and All That - of which more, later, if you will bear with me..).
Wishing you a Happy And Peaceful Solstice Time (- a greeting sent in keeping with the season and the Spirit of Sagittarius.. ),

Dimensions
You may have noticed the sudden upsurge of interest in 3D films and television programmes- you need a pair of 3D specs, then, off you go on a voyage into the additional dimension. Our "normal" perception of the world is, of course , 3-dimensional, via our two, if properly functioning, eyes. With a developed , or developing "third eye" function, then, we are able to "see into" the 4th Dimension.
I mention this partly because of the burgeoning awareness that the year 2012 will soon be "with us", with all the attendant speculation as to what that might imply for us all. It is possible that we may have the opportunity, though not necessarily in 2012, to "shift" or "ascend" into the 4th, or even 5th Dimension, where money is irrelevant, where the discomforts and fond deceits of the material world have no purchase upon us, and where the soul is free to travel where it will .
A realm, in fact, not unlike the place we go when we "die". Is this what St. Paul means when he says that "we shall not die, but shall all be changed in the twinkling of an eye..." ? I've got that more or less right- remembered from Sunday School circa 1958, Cornwall.
The 3D craze could be a manifestation of the Collective Unconscious, then, in anticipation of the opportunity to come - the 4D, or 5D world: -roll up for your viewing specs now!
While on this subject, there will be a "2012 Forum" to be held at Lupton House , Brixam Road, Churston Ferrers, on Thurs. 3 Dec. , 7.00 to 9.30 p.m. £5.admission. facilitated by Sue Minns. With input from Dr. Grahame Blackwell (Scientist), Anne Bruce (Shamanic perspective) and myself (Astrological view.). A chance to give the subject a good public airing - and bring Light to(what may be) the lost souls of an ancient atmospheric "ton"/settlement.
Experience with, and participation in Quaker Meetings over many years has confirmed in me the knowing that there are many things that, with the conscious mind, we do not know and cannot guess.Yet to sit quietly in the hope and anticipation that the Inward Light , with gentle power, will illuminate the path, is, as many have found, a tolerable and spiritually refreshing practice which brings undefinable, yet unmistakeable blessings. May we hope for similar understanding regarding the 2012 syndrome...
Forgive me, if you will, while I run the following Ad.;- If you need a Birthchart, set up, interpreted, I have plenty of experience in that department. Cost £60. Update on Chart (Transits, Progressions)- £45. A session with Tarot £35(negotiable). Please enquire about other Astrological services - including Synastry, Astro-location, Tuition, Workshops. etc. My phone no. - 01803 867145.
Incidentally, I know we/some of us once made the solemn pledge to live in a condition of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience ( in that other life)... but reason to rethink the whole position now, especially the Poverty bit...at least, until the 4th Dimension "arrives". Meanwhile, we here, at what has become a small but active "centre", wish to express appreciation and thanks to all the friends and clients who have supported and encouraged in so many ways us over the last 12 years or so, and continue so to do.
Address;- 6, Plymouth Road, Totnes, Devon, England. TQ9 5PH.

Glastonbury Phoenix
As I write, the "Media" is buzzing with the news that the Lisbon treaty will now almost certainly remain unchallenged, and the EC moves into another stage of integration. A study of the original EEC chart for 00.00 hrs. 1 Jan. 1958, Brussels, with accompanying Transits and Progressions will describe this development, so, no surprise to the Astrologically inclined.The next session of Totnes Astrology at 6 Plymouth road, Totnes, at 7.30 p.m. on Fri. 13 Nov. will explore this issue, along with The Saturn/Pluto Squares; and, charts and inspiring concepts connected with Chalice Well in Glastonbury, a place I know well (no pun intended) through past association.
Any arrangement, political or otherwise, which has material rather than spiritual concerns and values at the very core of it's philosophy, may prove in the long run to be seriously deficient in both Light and bouyancy- how long can it run? A water source such as Chalice Well can pour forth its blessings until the end of Time; simple, natural, freely given to all who thirst.The same can rarely be said of Man's constructions. Abbott Whiting of Glastonbury, the last holder of that office, standing on the summit of the Tor, awaiting execution by the order of Henry the Eigth, on a dark November morning in 1539 may have similar thoughts.Confined the previous night in a small room over the Abbey Gatehouse he had, I can sense, been visited, in his desolation by an Angel, or comforting Spirit, and received much comfort and reassurance concerning the Future- his own, and that of his beloved Glastonbury.
He would, he knew, return in a new form to this, the plane of Earth, at a time of crisis and transformation, during and after which there would be a restitution of much that had been lost through the fear and greed of some of his fellow men. Consider the legend of the Phoenix, perhaps, as an apt metaphor for the era we now enter...
Meanwhile, in this year of the Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron conjunction in Aquarius the development and acknowledgement of many links and friendships far and wide continues. I can think of no better advice at this time than that of the Quaker, George Fox, to... "...walk cheerfully over the World, answering that of God in everyone."
Hope you are still enjoying these messages from - your old Mate - Og the Blog.

Fires of Scorpio
The golden days of October are gradually yielding to Winter's dark embrace; it will be 6 months before Sun lovers again adorn the beaches and coves of South Devon - yet a few hardy Winter Swimmers will continue the daily homage to the sea, La Mer.
1 November , to the Celts, was/is the beginning of Winter, a time, when the veil is thin, to remember the departed, the Ancestors. The fires of Scorpio are, of course, a salute to the life-giving Sun, which returns in strength in early May when Taurus hosts the Divine Orb, causing Nature to don her new Gown - and Morris Men to leap and jingle in faithful celebration of Summer reborn.
Death and Rebirth - and change the only constant - the essence of our experience in this, the Physical world. The Eternal self , the still point in the centre of the turning wheel, sits calm, uninvolved in the "struggle", the many lives as spokes, radiating out to touch the rim of close engagement with the gritty old world. A part of us that was never born and has never "died", observing , with compassion, the progress of the Little Self along the varied road of Life.
Still one more Conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune, in 24 Degrees Aquarius, to come, on 21 Dec. 2009, the day of the Winter Solstice, the major turning point of the calendar, with "wounded healer"/inspired Educator Chiron close by. A Day of spectacular aspects, appropriate for affirming the Good, invoking LIGHT, setting forth our intentions for 2010.
Have just become a Grandfather for the first time, on 23 October - my "middle" son Hugh and his partner Ulrika have given life to a baby girl - a new stage of life for all concerned, many lives are touched by a new Arrival. One can only salute the soul who takes the plunge into the Physical world and marvel at the ingenious way in which the God, or Goddess, has devised the means of perpetuating the species/all species on this Planet,which is evidently a great Cosmic Laboratory /Nursery for a multitude of life-forms including our own.
If only we can maintain the Love, on every level for the duration of a lifetime. It's a condition to aspire to, and, while on that subject, I am keeping an eye on the Venus-Jupiter Trine on 29 October, and, later, the Venus-Neptune Trine on 2 November 2009- neither aspect incompatible with gifts and blessings of the Spirit, especially in the case of the latter, Venus being "at home" in the Sign of Libra on both occasions. I am curious as to what, if anything, you notice on/ around those dates?
Trust you are benefitting from these musings of old Og the Blog ...
All Good Wishes - David.

Fruits and Fire Festivals
Hello, Friends- a few observations to share as we (in the Northern Hemisphere) head into the Season of Lights - the Lights that lighten the darkness:- the Fires of November and the Candles of December. The Libran Sun now brings the time of Fruits - in Devon the Apple Festivals are under way and continue until the end of October. Try the Cockington Festival on Sunday 18 Oct. ( No, Torbay Tourist Office are not paying me for this !).
Saturn will enter Libra on 29 October at 17.09 UT, concluding its 2 year overhaul of Virgo , where its concerns have included :-Public Health, Armed Services, what our "Public Servants" have been up to, and, of course, Environmental Issues (whether or not you subscribe to the "Global Warming" concept). Perhaps the Sun has something to do with it ?? After a brief re-visit to Virgo from 7 April to 21 July 2010-just to check that we are at least thinking about growing our own vegetables and thinking twice about chucking out perfectly good food -Saturn shuffles on into Libra to focus on the issue of Fair Play (deep down the British know what this means...).
When in Libra, Saturn "tests" the balance of most things within our lives - a kind of Cosmic Weights and Measures Inspector. Saturn Libra suggests poise, deliberation over legal and ethical issues ; commitment or not within relationships; calm and impartial asessment of one's own, and other's positions. However-"The stars impel- they do not compel" - much depends on one's inner orientation towards values of the Spirit, the Eternal values which are of the Light which never fails, always has been, and always will be.Was Jesus a Libran ?Did he visit Cornwall/Devon??Perhaps there is some truth in the legend he and Joseph of Arimathea visited Looe Island. I was there recently and could see ( I venture to say) the event registered on the "ether".
The next session of Totnes Astrology, here at 6 Plymouth Road, Totnes, at 7.45 P.M. on Fri. 16 October £10/£8- is upon the subject "Saturn in Libra", plus an update on Pluto in Capricorn (the restructuring of just about everything over the next several years) plus some other "goodies"
from the Astrological Agenda.tel. 01803 867145.
Hope you are well and feel Blogworthy/Blogready - As Ever, David.

Sparrows and Saints
Hello, friend;- if you can bear it, some more insights from an overflowing drawer of Astrological/Spiritual bric-a-brac .Lifetimes of experience lie behind each of us -no time like the present to bring those abilities into the Light.(...no more hiding that Light under the proverbial Bushel...?).
Today, 4 October, is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi.Also the Full Moon of Libra- Moon in Aries.The old Christian Calendar is gradually fading out as a new Paradigm -Circular, rather than Cruciform, comes into focus (six Billion seats at the Round Table..), yet it's probably worth a moment to consider the life and example of Francis. The Assisi Earthquake of a few years ago also rattled the teacups in Totnes - via a subterranean connection ?
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun at 11 degrees Libra at this Full Moon at 07:10 BST is "Miners emerging from a deep Coal Mine"; while the Moon's Symbol for the opposite degree is " A triangularly shaped flight of wild Geese - a symbol of Cosmic Order".. From the depths to the heights- from the relative gloom and heavy toil of the "mine" to the freedom of the air as ideas and GROUPS of like-minded souls take flight in response to the Cosmic imperative. Interesting, and I hope you enjoy, as I do, this way of evaluating Astrological patterns.
This Full Moon, in addition, is significant for the United Kingdom, especially. (Chart for 1 January 1801, Asc.7 degrees Libra..) more on this chart later. Albion awakening ?
Many thanks for your kind attention.. All the Best -David Matthews (aka OG.).

Mercury has now completed its Retrograde journey - having backtracked from 6 Degrees Libra to 21 Degrees Virgo from 7-29 September. Mercury performs this Retrograde(backward) journey 3 times a year, for 3 weeks or so each time as it loops in between the Earth and the Sun - creating the illusion, from our Earth-based perspective, that it is moving backward.Retrograde periods are often marked by delays in communication or transportation; people or items from "the past" turn up; unusual insights can occur and "Mercurial Mischief" is afoot, generally.
During the recent Retrograde period my radio/tape deck went bonkers and had to be replaced; I "bumped into" Prince Charles twice in one day in Exeter; visited an old Tumulus on a hill near Looe, gaining much insight concerning past visitors to the site (how about the young Jesus and Uncle Joseph of Arimathea ?) :attended an excellent talk on "Mystery Schools" at the Torquay Theosophical Society; watched series 2 of "Merlin" on BBC 1; and , on 29 September, Michaelmas Day, at St. Michael's Mount, met Hamish Miller at the Chapel there, later, as Mercury turned Direct, was sitting in a quiet corner by the Castle, sensing the currents and exhilarating power of the several great "Ley Lines" which meet on the Mount..
A cornucopia of Mercurial Magic, on this occasion, assisted by Jupiter/Neptune Chiron in Aquarius. Have you been quickened by a quotient of quixotic quicksilver quiddity of Mercury, messenger, Psychopomp,and possibly, Avatar of Alliteration ?

Great Bear in Winter
Do try to get outdoors and watch the Stars this winter(or summer -depending on your physical location...) - bathe your soul in the resplendent eternal caress of the Cosmos, and know that every impulse to the Good is known and applauded by the Heavenly Father.
Jupiter in Aquarius until 18 January, along with Neptune and Chiron ,encourages networking and intercommunication on a grand scale - anyone can be a Friend, one per cent awake can change everything - the yeast within the dough :- and now the Waters of inspiration pour as a Starry stream from the upturned Waterpot of Aquarius.
... and keep growing those vegetables ! All Good Wishes -Og.(David Matthews.).
(.. next session of Totnes Astrology 7.45 P.M. 16 Oct. 2009, "Saturn in Libra" ; and "Sleeping Beauty and a Grand Quintile". Plus;- Pluto Update.).
