The Gate of the Eagle – the Sun at 15 Scorpio
Yesterday, the 7th of November, marked zodiacal Samhain as the Sun bowed down before the Avataric gateway 45 days before the Turning of the Seasons at the powerful Capricorn Ingress on the 21st of December.
The coming 45 days for those engaged in spiritual practise is the time to turn inwards and explore that which has clipped your wings. The Eagle symbolises that courageous process whereby you ascend through dimensional space and connect to the gOdhead. It is within that elevated state of consciousness that wisdom can be accessed and through the development of strength of will, you can retain the memory of that knowledge when you return to this physical plane for sustenance and integration. Yet this earthy plane has many distractors and anaesthetics that need to be confronted, allowing this liminal inspiration to drift, once again, back to the upper plumes.
The passage through this Gate marks the ‘balsamic’ process, a state of unfurling in readiness ahead of the Dawn, or new beginning. The Celts marked this gate by lighting fires so that those elders who wish to return to assist with their ethereal wisdom, could find their way. They were also lit for those initiates crossing the Veil, so that they too could find their way home.
So on this, the first day of the letting go process, the question is to what are you so emotionally attached that you are unable to find peace and therefore are kept chained to the Wheel of repetition? Know that the Eagle is present to guide you through the liminal space, as you seek to raise up your emotional body and find a higher expression of your heart.
The Turning is 44 days from today.

https://www.andrewsmith.ieAstrology has been my sole source of income, my way of being and the way that I live since discovering it on the 17th Jan 1993. Self-taught, I did sojourn with a correspondence course with the Faculty of Astrological Studies under the tutorship of Christine Tate-Wheeler, completing three of the four year training modules in a little under a year. However, I never sat the exams due to my commitments to seeing clients and running a school of astrology called The Dublin Astrological Centre.I’ve been ever so fortunate to have attracted people who wanted to work with me from the very beginning of my path and I’ve worked with clients intensely on a daily basis since 1994. I have a varied clientele, located all over the world, and have worked privately with individuals and corporately with business, sports clubs, political parties and religious institutions for over two decades. My practise is based in my office in Blackrock, Dublin, Ireland, from where I write, divine, create and see clients in person or via ZOOM.Until the time of my movement onto my current path, I was reading Geography in Trinity College, Dublin and playing football, two additional passions I still have today. I currently reside in Greystones, Ireland with my family. My life-partner and wife, Karen, walks the same path as an astrologer and we have two children, Sarah and Maya. Together we run the Blue Rose, a school of astrology and spirituality and have students all over the world who download our classes, join in via ZOOM or attend in person.
My focus is evident in my extensive public writing. I am interested in helping people develop a deeper confidence in their commitment to what they lOve and living what they love. And I would lOve to share my passion with you and to work with you concerning what you love.I look forward to working with you.
