Welcome to Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine. I'm your host, Jill Jardine, Master's in Counseling Psychology, longtime astrologer, psychic, healer, and Yogi. In today's episode, I'm going to discuss why astrology and tracking of the planets is so important for our personal and Planetary evolution here on planet Earth. You'll want to stick around for the second part of the episode when I share a healing meditation of golden light. You'll feel better and energetically prepared for the upcoming month, so stay tuned.

Well, we made it through the eclipse on June 5, number one in the current series of three eclipses during the summer of 2020. We still have the Summer Solstice Solar Eclipse of June 21 to look forward to and another lunar eclipse on July 5. It's unusual to have two lunar eclipses right after one another. And that's what we're having this year. The other strange ecliptic fact about 2020 is that we have six eclipses all together. I had mentioned this in my earlier podcasts, go back and listen to the two on eclipses. The eclipse in general podcast, and then the June 2020 Eclipse podcast. So the six

eclipses in 2020 are: 2:07

We had one on January 10th, and just came through that June 5 lunar eclipse. We have another lunar eclipse on July 5, and November 30 is a lunar eclipse. And then the two solar eclipses of June 21 and December 14, 2020. It's a rarity to have six in one year and as I said, unusual to have lunar eclipses follow each other within a month. So these eclipses are bringing lots up to the surface. We are noticing some volatility, and very aggressive and strong energies. I just want to let you know the eclipse fallout will go on for six months. We'll start seeing some real by-products three months out so that will take us to the month of September 2020 when we really see personally and collectively- What was that Eclipse season about for me? But things should calm down a bit in July and August after the July 5th eclipse. September will be another activating month. There'll be major planets, Saturn and Jupiter, going direct after retrograding for four months. And we also have from the 17-25 June, six planets retrograding at once which is very unusual, again astrologically. All these unusual astrological transits happening in the summer 2020. Usually there's only two or three planets going retrograde at a time. So I just want to let you know what to do during this eclipse season of June 5 - July 5. I'm going to have a whole episode speaking of the July 5 Eclipse and the astrology of July but during this time, practice some restraint. Around the eclipses especially, be very prudent with the choices you make. Keep socially distancing. The other thing is not to make big decisions until this eclipse season is over. And I have a lot of clients that always come up and call me and ask me, you know, I'm feeling really weird in my body. Is this an eclipse symptom? And I'm going to tell you, yes, we have "Eclipse Fallout" symptoms, or what we call in the consciousness or Ascension movement, "Ascension symptoms." And I'm just going to share what some of those are so you can understand what's happening to you. They are things such as exhaustion at weird times in the day or just lethargy, even depression, not being motivated to do anything. And then on the other side, you can be too wired or too tired, unable to sleep. Or you're sleeping more. You could have bouts of vertigo. In other words, feeling dizzy or lightheaded. There's also a lot of flushing through the body like heat flashes, heat coming up into the head rushing up or in the torso. People can feel, again, very lack of motivation, depression. And then there's the unusual aches and pains that kick in, such as in the legs or in the back. A lot of people feel in the back and the hips, feet. Well, I attribute that all to our fear of moving forward. Or perhaps our body knows we're going to be moving forward soon, but it wants to just chill out and get our attention for a little while with these weird aches and pains. The other things that the eclipse might bring up for people are weird food cravings, or the opposite, no appetite, and even digestive issues. So these are all energetic. If you really do have some things going on, please do see your doctor. But as some of say in this movement, the energy healing movement that, you know, it's interesting how some of the symptoms can be confused with Coronavirus. But really watch how you feel because the ascension or the eclipse symptoms tend to come and pass rather fast. If something hangs out for more than let's say three to five days and you should definitely consult your MD. But a lot of these are energetic and they run through our body so pay attention to that "eclipse fallout symptoms"and especially in the days leading up to these eclipses. So that was in early June. We're going to have another bout in mid June around the 21st. And then again around July 5, pay attention to how your body's feeling and track and see what it's trying to tell you. Welcome listeners. I am going to discuss why astrology is important. In all my previous podcasts, I never talked about why we should track the movement of the planets and why it is important to know collectively where the planets are, and what is happening with the transits to our personal birth chart. And make sure you stick around because I'm going to share a powerful meditation of the healing golden light that will help you during these precarious planetary times and help to mitigate planets in your own chart. So, why do we need to know what is going on in our charts? I'm going to quote a famous Yog, Paramahamsa Yogananda from his pivotal book on consciousness and yoga called"Autobiography of a Yogi." Paramahamsa Yogananda was an Indian saint who lived from January 1893, and died in March of 1952. He has a lot to say about astrology. And I think that it will give us an understanding on a soul level as far as what is the significance of astrology. So I'm going to quote him now. "Astrology is the study of man's response to planetary stimuli. The stars have no consciousness, benevolence, or animosity. They merely send forth positive and negative radiations. Of themselves they do not help or harm humanity, but offer a lawful channel for outward expression of cause and effect equilibriums which each human has set forth in the past." So in other words, he's referring to our soul's individual karmas, the laws of cause and effect. There's actually a certain type of karma in astrology that is addressing. In Sanskrit it's called "prarabda karma." And that is specifically the karma that shows up in our astrological chart. And we can work through that by knowing what's happening in our astrological chart either by transit or in our Natal birth chart. And we can mitigate it with certain practices, such as chanting Sanskrit mantras, and donating money or food at certain times, or performing other acts of selfless service to help mitigate planetary afflictions. So, according to another Indian saint, Sri Swami Shivananda, about prarabda karma, is that prarabda is that portion of karma, responsible for the present body. That portion of sanchita karma which influences human incarnation. Sanchita karma is the full spectrum of karmic debts or credit that we owe as a soul when we come into our lifetime. Prarabda karma creates circumstances which we are destined to experience in our present lifetime." Prarabda karma places limitations via our family, our physical body, our life circumstances, relationships, and things like that, that we are born into which as astrologers we can read through your birth chart and see. Your birth chart is like a map of the soul. But this prarabda karma is also known as destiny or fate. In other words, there are certain things we come in with that are fated, and they are our destiny. And I see that a lot as an astrologer. Like I can kind of see the time period in which someone may marry, if they will marry. I can also see in a chart when they may have children or if they are indeed destined to have children. So there's a lot of certain things like major life situations when they may experience the loss of some Important than their life through death, and marriage, and other major transitions that are fated. We can certainly see that by looking at somebody's astrology chart. But I want to go back and talk about Paramahamsa Yogananda because he also refers to transcending our karma as well. In other words, that we're not necessarily limited by our astrology chart and by the planets. So of course, there are some things as I mentioned, that are fated, and that they're almost like written in stone because your soul is like, nope, you have to have this experience of having a child, and you will, and it will happen during this time period in your life. And yes, you have to have the experience of being married and then divorce in order to learn some soul lessons and to build character. So certain of these destined or prarabda karmas are there for our soul to grow and evolve. But then as Paramahamsa Yogananda says there is the ability to transcend our karma by knowing our birth chart. And this is one of my favorite quotes by Yogananda. " A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with the individual karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future results. But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by men(or women,) of intuitive wisdom. And of these there are few." Very interesting about transcending one's birth chart or karma. Yogananda says," the message boldly blazoned across the heavens at the moment of birth, is not meant to emphasize fate, the result of past good and evil, but to arouse your will to escape from universal thralldom. What has been done can be undone. You can overcome any limitation because you created it by your own actions in the first place. And you possess the inner spiritual resources which are not subject to planetary expression. The wise person defeats their planets by transferring allegiance to the Creator. When one realizes their unity with spirit, the less dominated by matter." So, after deep prayer and meditation, one can get in touch with their divine consciousness, there is no greater power than inward protection. So, in other words, the planets are dictating certain cause and effect outcomes that will present in this lifetime, but by truly connecting to source, Creator, God, God consciousness, Goddess, divine connection, connecting that way to God consciousness trumps the planets. So later I'm going to lead a meditation which will help you connect with this powerful inner light. I just want to say this quote again, that Yogananda says in

his book: 14:28

"The wise person defeats their planets by transferring allegiance to the Creator. When one realizes their unity with spirit, the less dominated by matter. And this is where we can use deep prayer and meditation to get in touch with the Divine. So basically, he is saying that we can go directly to source and by-pass planetary influences and aspects. So interesting. It makes me think of something one of my mantra gurus, Sri Muralidhar Pai, says in referring to chanting Sanskrit mantras. He is a lineage holder and I have received that lineage from him and his mother Guru Rama Mata, the Guru in the tradition. And we chant mantras in Sanskrit to mitigate planetary karma. He told me you can chant the specific planetary mantra for your issue, but the planets are like the manager in the company that is your life. You should go directly to the CEO, which is God, which in his tradition would be Vishnu or Krishna and chanting Krishna or Vishnu mantras. And that would help with planetary issues as well. I have found that planetary mantras are good to pinpoint specific karmic issues that need help such as problems with health or the back which can be mitigated by chanting to the planet Saturn for, for instance. Another famous soul who used and understood astrology was the famous 20 th century psychologist Carl Jung. He brought astrology into his psychoanalysis therapy work. I, myself have used astrology so much over the years with clients who are in psychotherapy. It is an invaluable tool. And what we understand about astrology, that if used correctly and facilitated properly, that a client can get to in one astrology session through something that it would take 10 years or attend sessions of psychotherapy to get to. Clients have even told me that, wow, I've gotten to more content and understanding of myself in this session than I have in the whole five years of therapy that I've been in. But anyway, Carl Jung says, "Astrology is the summation of all ancient knowledge of psychology." The 12 signs of the zodiac configure what Jung called the archetypes, which are psychological patterns that inhabit the collective unconscious. That word collective unconscious, I've used a lot my podcast and people tend to throw it around. What is it? It is a term that Carl Jung coined which means that the structures of the unconscious mind which is shared by the beings of the same species. The human collective unconscious is populated by instincts and archetypes, which are universal symbols. For example, if we talk about the great mother archetype, we can relate that to the moon in astrology. Then there's the wise old man archetype, which we could refer to as Saturn in astrology. Carl Jung says, "astrology, like the collective unconscious, with which psychology is concerned, consists of symbolic configurations. The planets are the Gods, symbols of the powers of the unconscious." Carl also says about astrology that, so far as the personality is still potential, it can be called transcendent. And so far as it is unconscious, it is indistinguishable from all those things that carry projections, symbols of the outside world and cosmic symbols. These form the psychological basis for the conception of man as a macrocosm through the astrological components of his character." And the last Carl Jung quote, I want to share about astrology,

which is fascinating: 19:11

" when astrology makes accurate news predictions, sometimes to the exact day, sometimes, years before they happen, people ask me how it works and I say synchronicity." So what is synchronicity? It is what seems like a coincidence but really has been universally arranged. And beyond something that we know. In other words, the heavenly bodies are in sync with us. So we like these moments of synchronicity. When certain what seems to be happenstance things occur. Anyway, think on these things that I have shared, you guys. A lot of content to absorb and digest and when I come back, you're going to enjoy the healing golden light which can help you mitigate any of the fallout from any planetary aspects in your life. So stay tuned. Now we're at the segment of the show where you can relax and receive. Give yourself 10 minutes. Find a comfortable place to either lie down or sit to receive this golden healing light meditation. So finding your place and knowing that it's easy for you to relax and go inside and receive this powerful healing today. I'm going to ask you now whether you are lying down or sitting to allow your eyes eyes to open and just stare out straight ahead with your eyes open. Letting the rest of your body be still. Letting the eyes stare open. I'm going to ask you now to look past your eyebrows and find a spot on the ceiling above your head.Stay focused on that one spot.It's easy now to remain focused on that spot.Letting the rest of your body be still. Giving yourself permission to let the rest of your body be still. And as you lay here said here, staying focused on that spot, allowing the body to be still. And in a moment,I'm going to count down from one to 10 and with each number you hear your body can remember A deep state of relaxation. With every number every cell can remember what it's like to feeldeeply relaxed, and with every number, your eyelids can become more and more relaxed andmore and more heavy and drowsy. just focusing on that spot with each number. Your eyelids will feel a little happier. So by the time I get to touch, your eyelids will be firmly shot. Your body will be deeply relaxed.

One - Going deeper inside, 2, 3, just relax even more. 4 - eyelids getting heavier. 5, 6. Your body likes to let go. Seven, deeper now, 8, eyelids are very happy. 9. eyelids close. 10. Relax. As eyelids close, you feel yourself even more relaxed and sink even deeper inside yourself. Because you're so relaxed it's easy to imagine. it's easy to imagine seeing a beautiful golden sun far off in the universe. The source of all that is. A beautiful golden orb beaming light down onto you and you can feel yourself receiving that golden healing light from that beautiful golden orb far off in the Universe. And then you realize that there's a beautiful golden orb. This beautiful healing light, this beautiful healing sun. Source of all that is. Is hovering right above your head. And as you breathe this beautiful golden orb comes through the crown of your head and illuminates the head centers, the Third Eye Center. and the entire head center is infused with the golden healing light. allowing the brain chemistry to receive this fusion of healing light. Allowing all the head centers to be lit up by this healing, golden light. Activating the crown center, the pineal gland, and bringing healing into the eyes, the ears, the cheeks, the mouth, the jaw. The jaw is relaxed. The teeth and tongue in the mouth relax. The chin relaxes. And the golden healing light goes into the throat center, bringing healing into the throat. activating your ability to speak your truth, to speak with your wisdom. Healing the glandular system there, the thyroid, the parathyroid. Healing the throat. The golden healing light and the throat center and it moves down into the heart and you feel the infusion of this golden light. Feeling so much love for yourself so much love and connection to your Divine Self and your heart receives even more of the Golden healing light.

The hips, the hip flexors, the low back the glutes, the legs, knees, calves, ankles, toes all inhaling light to the root chakra. So you're now totally embraced by the goal and healing light. All your energy centers immersed. And you're surrounded now by a Golden Aura that continues to bring in healing. Take a moment and allowing it to bring more healing into your body. And in a moment, I'm going to count up from one to five. And when I get to five,you're going to come back into the room refreshed, relaxed and able to remember what's transpired. One. coming back now. Two. Three, maybe moving your arms and your feet. Four. Hands, fingers, toes, and Five. Open your eyes coming back into the room staring at that point on the wall or ceiling.
