This describes the theme of the message perfectly:

"On the one hand you take life too seriously, and on the other, you do not take playful existence seriously enough." Seth.

I am writing this from my favourite spot in Mexico on June 5, 2010 - the day before Jupiter moves into Aries. The energy here is phenomenal. A group of ancient boulders sit together on a sandy point with dynamic and powerful waves crashing around them. The energy here is very supportive of transformation - it destroys the superfluous and limiting and then fills you back up with purified powerful energy. If power points of vortexes of super-ultra special energy exist, there is definitely one here!

I lolled in the natural pools created at the base of the boulders, then meditated on the sand, initiated and blessed my new crystals into my life and then asked them and the energy here to help me pull a card from the Mayan Oracle deck that would be an amazing message for everyone. I was going to tack it onto the end of my Uranus/Jupiter in Aries message but then realized it would just be waaaaaay too long. I spared you!

Well, I don't pull cards very often (don't want to dilute the messages!) and since I get nervous when I do (I don't want to pull the 'wrong' one!) my method is to languidly shuffle the big cards, helping the intention in my mind, until one just falls out! That way I have no doubts at all!

SO, this is very interesting...I was shuffling when two cards fell out - I put them back in the deck but quickly glanced at them and thought "that's interesting, but no, I asked for just one!" Then, shuffling again, the same two fell out again - ha! Ok ok already...I've got it! (I like things to be really clear)

And here are the two cards that fell out: One Tone (5): Center and one Daykeeper: Blue Monkey!

If I had been consciously choosing them myself to reflect a large part of what Uranus in Aries represents I couldn't have done better that this!

So here you go...I think these energies are marvellously perfect for Uranus in Aries.


Tone Five (one bar): Center

Five is the ray of center, the first bar, the foundation of humanity in the individual self. Step into the center of your cyrstalline core. What do you find there? What is your foundation, your core purpose, your central intent, your individual vision? Use this vision as an access to the truth at your stellar core. See yourself as an ever-expanding hub of truth and light.

You are the center of your own Universe! [how apt for Aries! haha] Remember that there is great wisdom to be found wtihin the human form. In genuine acceptance of your humanness, you find your foundation in individual self. Turn inward and bring more light into your form. Discover the foundation of your sacred center. In meditation, receive the serenity of the unis mundi, the place of perfect centeredness. In letting go of who you think you are, you become who you actually are. Be simple. You are always sitting in the center. You are the Zen master, centered in beginner's mind.

Blue Monkey
The silver circle of the dolphin ring reminds us all to dance and sing. Light hearts leaven love's awakening! The divine child heaven to Earth will bring!

Chuen (Blue Monkey), the monkey trickster, breaks down structures, images, and beliefs that no longer serve you. Blue Monkey invites you to act in spontaneous and unpredictable ways! Lighten up! Smile! Don't be so serious! Believe in the magic of the moment. See what is revealed in spontaneity.

Blue Monkey represents the Divine Child, the child that is ever in a state of open-hearted wisdom, innocence, trust, simplicity and joyful wonder. What would it feel like to actually BE a magical child in this culture and time? The secret that very few know - because they may feel more comfortable trying to protect themselves - is that the divine child offers the strongest of all protections, the invulnerability of openhearted Love. Through innocence, a kind of immunity is created that allows the divine child to be TRANSPARENT so that the apparent 'slings and arrows' of the world can pass right through without being personalized into wounds, reactions or hurt feelings. This is the path of innocence regained. Transparency is the path of the new consciousness.

Enter into the great wisdom of innocence and trust. Through your innate innocence, you can be utilized as an empty vessel for divine will and wisdom to manifest. The less you hold rigidly to specific belief systems and thought patterns, the more you become an open receiving station for the Divine. The more naturally innocent and transparent you allow yourself to be, the less you will have strong reactions, and there will be nothing for the potential hurt to "stick" to. Remember, your "stickiness" is one of the most effective tools to help bring you into wholeness, because it shows you where you are most invested and identified.

Look deeply into the eyes of a happy two year old. There you will see the innocent trust, openheartedness, and spontaneous joy that typifies the divine child. Imagine yourself as an enlightened two-year old, in a state of ecstatic communion and delight. In childhood, you didn't have to remember to be playful - you could easily and fluidly express your emotions. You didn't have to understand whys and wherefores - you knew with your heart. This if your natural state of being, the state of ecstasy, the path of revealed innocence.

The frequency of ecstasy, your divine nature, is now dawning through you. A way of accessing it may be as simple as changing your perceptual lenses and life filters. How might you live as a divine child amidst the illusions of this world? Words seem limited to explain. Just be the divine child, and you will discover the answer for yourself.

In Western culture, many people have a distorted understanding about what it is to be a human being. We are often taught that successful adults are responsible, serious, rigid, controlled and goal oriented. In your journey with society, your developmental stages may have been incomplete. The natural sensitivity, fluidity, and freedom of the child may have been left behind in partial passage. Perhaps your inner child was wounded or treated insensitively, and you carried this unresolved process into adulthood. Blue Monkey encourages you to bring forth this incomplete or wounded part for integration and healing.
This process implies a bounteous connection between Essence Self and Spirit, freed from judgement, denial and separation. It encourages an unconstrained experience of feelings, living your dreams and visions, where everything is sacred and so, by nature, humorous and joyful. Life your dreams! The moment is now. In this co-creative process, your life literally becomes a work of art and the dawning of the new myth.

In this New Myth, your spontaneous, divine child will usher in and anchor the new frequency. How can you heal your inner child? Explore what truly gives you joy. Find types of work that support your sensitivity and create deep satisfaction. Be simple: love, play, dance, draw, colour, sing. These activities are for all divine children - they serve the expression of the magical child in everyone. Consciously make time for the joyful freedom and magic of play!

This is not the kind of play that avoids problems. [*this would be Capricorns serious concern!] As you freely play, the importance is taken off who you think you are, leaving room to explore all that you actually are. Often afterward, when you come back to a difficult situation, your perspective has magically shifted. Remember, as Teilhard de Chardin once said, "Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God."

As a divine child, surrender to the present moment. The universe speaks in the voice of the present. In the dawning myth, there are no road maps, no creeds or philosophies. The direction now comes straight from the universe, moment by moment, and the curriculum is revealed through your natural connection to the Divine. This is the path of innocence, the path of trust. You walk each step only once. On this path you have a willingness not to know and the wisdom to follow the guidance of Spirit.

Bring humor into the exploration of yourself - especially the issues and life's growth edges that spur strong emotions. When you come up against what appears to be a difficult issue, amplify and feel it with awareness - it can actually become humorous! Or try processing it either by making it very serious, by taking it very lightly, or by making a joke of it. Identify yourself with the "fool", the one who truly knows that things are not as serious as they seem. Humor is divinely transforming.

Blue Monkey also represents the cosmic alarm clock. The energy of Blue Monkey sets up situations that will change or "torque" your perspective. In that moment, you perceive things differently, as with the punch line of a good joke. The essence of Blue Monkey is waking up. Just for a moment, see through the cultural trance in which you've been shaped. Blue Monkey is the Mayan monkey, the trickster, the playful one who may push you off balance or catch you off guard in order to bring you a gift of a new perspective. The monkey offers you enjoyment, the ability to "swing" through the trees of life's jungle. Don't be surprised if is soon appears that you are hanging by your knees, your world turned upside down, and life's bananas have a different appeal.

Blue Monkey's playful wisdom is also represented by the dolphin. The dolphin, which represents an evolved state of consciousness, joyfully expresses in spontaneous ways in the present moment. Blue Monkey can assist you in learning to play your way through any situation. Lighten up! Monkey around! Don't take life so seriously! Remember: "Man is, that he might have joy!"

Blue Monkey can help you get the cosmic joke that appearances in this three-dimensional world are illusory, so you might as well laugh and make "light" of them! Since you are the co-creator of your reality, why not write a delightful script? You have created for yourself learning situations that may appear to be difficult and uncomfortable. Humour can serve as a pressure valve and healer, helping you to laugh and dance with the illusion.

Some people look forward to the weekend in anticipation of a changed perspective. The TGIF ("Thanks God it's Friday") syndrome often springs from the need for a release and a more lighthearted point of view. In such a setting, people give themselves permission to step outside of their usual routines and allow their expressions to become uninhibited. Experiment with encouraging your magical child to come out - and not just on weekends! For example, if you are a person who enjoys "partying," take the freed aspect of yourself that gets activated in such situations (for example, being candid and direct when drinking), and bring it into conscious play in your life without alcohol or other such stimulation. The "secondary" experience that emerges when you drink or party is asking to come congruently into your everyday life; it has something valuable to contribute to your wholeness.

The number for Blue Monkey is eleven, the vibration wherein novelty and spontaneity break down resistant forms. When unity merges with Essence Self, a mystical foundation is created that disintegrates old patterns. This is actually integration in disguise. As your walls tumble down, they crack into a smile, and the illumination of self shines through.

Speak your truth directly. Be vulnerable, sensitive and openhearted.
