The past 12 hours I've been bouncing some emails back and forth with Phil Sedgwick, who practically invented the field of galactic astrology. (see http://philipsedgwick.com ). Our topic has been the astrological interpretation of the Galactic Core.

As I mentioned earlier in the week somewhere, the Sun is now working past a square to the Galactic Core, which is at close to 27 degrees even Sagittarius. So this was exact about two days ago. Anyway -- I suddenly made the connection that these cyclonic storms we call hurricanes are the same energy figuration as our galaxy and many others: they are spirals. And it seems that things with a spiral shape on Earth are gaining energy.

Meanwhile, the equinox is now occurring and the Sun is closely square something called the Road to Xibalba -- the dark band at the core of the Milky Way that is associated with all things 2012. And this weekend, the Sun crosses the mighty, massive M87 galaxy in early Libra.

We are in the full-strength regions of Aries Point activity in the astrological calendar -- things on the early Cardinal Cross. It almost seems as if all the energy is being shifted onto the Cardinal Cross at this point in history, as part of a world initiation. I'll have a look into what Alice Bailey, the most dependable source of information on this kind of spiritual astrology, has to day about this and get back to you soon.

It is time, however, to begin not just thinking about this initiation, but responding as if it is real. We can be caught in disaster consciousness, or we can apply a higher order of wisdom and information to the situation and make a movie. Okay just kidding about the movie. There is obviously a spiritual component to this; the impacts on us as individuals and as a collective are undeniable; we are in the midst of a planetary shift. It's just that the phrase "planetary shift" is not in the stylebooks of the newspapers and networks. But hey, this is Planet Waves, the CNN of the New Age.

More on the astrology at the Café Blog, and lots more in tomorrow's edition of Planet Waves Weekly.
