Spiritual awakenings and transits

[Deleted]

People have reported that their spiritual awakenings, which could mean various things, were triggered by particular transits. Will add these below as I find them.

1) Saturn transits or returns:

"we get opportunities for small amounts of Kundalini Rise every 7 years when a Saturn square to Natal Saturn occurs" (iQ).

- Saturn transiting over asteroid Spirit caused the opening of the 3rd eye.

2) Pluto square Pluto - kundalini awakening

Did anyone experience a spiritual breakthrough during a particular transit?

[Violets]

Yes, by my definition anyway...

T Pluto conjunct my Vertex and trine my Moon (which was followed only a few degrees later by t Pluto square my Pluto).

And more recently, t Uranus conjunct my Chiron.

To some degree, t Chiron conjunct my Sun and Jupiter.

T Neptune conjunct my Sun was...not an awakening exactly, but very...weird and otherworldly.

I had something once also when I was younger and we lived out in the mountains. I spent a lot of time by myself out in nature, climbing rocks and thinking about my love for God. I was around 8 years old, so I'll look to see what transits were taking place around then.

I made a thread recently about the sound OM.

That is the sound I heard when I had this experience:

"I felt like I was ascending through multicolored rings of living, pulsating light."

I call it a dream there, but I don't consider it a dream. It was hyper-real.

Transits (27 January, 2013)

- Full moon @ 7 Leo opposite my Mercury, squaring my Uranus. 7 Leo is my rectified ASC.
- Transiting NN conjunct natal Kaali @ 22 Scorpio. Natal NN @ 20 Scorpio, so a nodal return.
- Transiting Uranus conjunct Pallas @ 5 Aries, sextile Jupiter @ 6 Gemini, forming yod with my 6 Scorpio Uranus.

The last eclipse before this was a lunar eclipse exactly conjunct my Venus @ 6 Sag. The first eclipse after this was @ 5 Scorpio, conjunct my Uranus.

It was all so Uranian...out of nowhere. I don't meditate or anything.

Edit: Transiting Pluto was @ 10 Cap, square natal Pluto at 11 Libra.

Both Saturn square Saturn, and Pluto square Pluto transits were happening for me when my oldest son was born, but I really don't understand what kundalini is even supposed to be, or feel like. Before and about a year after he was born, I went through my first introduction of energy healing, and then Reiki combined with therapy. It helped, and energy was released, absolutely. Other than that, I can't speak for kundalini experiences.

Interesting that Chiron and Uranus have been mentioned. Barbara Hand Clow focused on the planets Uranus, Saturn, Pluto and Chiron as major triggers for releasing the kundalini in her book: Liquid, Light, Sex: Kundalini, Astrology, and the Key Life Transitions.

[Violets]

I had to edit my last post. T Chiron wasn't conjunct my Neptune, it was (is a bit still) conjunct my Jupiter.

[Violets]

Also (excuse the multiple posts, please), I did look at the ephemeris for around the time I was 8-9 years old, and yep... T Uranus was conjunct my natal Neptune, and T Pluto was conjunct my natal IC/Uranus.

I have nice aspects to all involving Mercury, PoF, Dsc, Pluto, Sun, and Uranus, but about 2-4 degree orbs.

The Pluto/Uranus/IC conjunction really makes sense though, because it was at that time that we moved from my hometown where all of my family and friends were, to the mountains of Colorado.

Anyway... There's that.

[Violets]

Ava, that sounds amazing and beautiful. 💖

Thanks, Violets ❤️

I get self-conscious talking about things like that. I'm really curious about your experiences, but I wouldn't want to pry. 

Lexx quoted this on the thread I linked above. I'm just removing the sexual references because I think they confuse the issue and make it sound wordly, and this wasn't.

"...your body is no longer felt as matter; it vibrates like energy, electricity.
It vibrates so deeply, from the very foundation, that you completely forget that it is a material thing. It becomes an electric phenomenon.
Now physicists say that there is no matter, that all matter is only appearance;... deep down, that which exists is electricity, not matter.

...you come to this deepest layer of your body where matter no longer exists, just energy waves; you become a dancing energy, vibrating. There are no longer any boundaries to you - pulsating, but no longer substantial."

That's exactly how it was. I was immaterial, and when I say that I heard "Om" that is not accurate, because it permeated me. I was an energy field and that was the wavelength going through. 

It only happened once in my life, but of course it shaped some of my opinions. I remember asking a Buddhist if she meditated to get to the point where she hears "Om," and she corrected me saying, "Om is nothing you hear, it's only something you chant to get to the higher state." 

She had a very comprehensive grasp on Buddhism, so her opinion carries some weight. Still, now I have to suspect the way people originally came up with the idea of saying Om is, they heard it and tried to duplicate it. I have to assume it was perceived as something real; I can't be the only one who's had that kind of experience.  
 

[Violets]

Your feelings about Om rang true for me, clearly like a bell, Ava. I believe you must be onto something with that. How amazing... 🌷

I know what you mean about feeling self-conscious talking about experiences like these.
I'm personally in the midst of finally purging some seriously gross energy right now, so I don't feel like I want to speak of the higher experiences I've been blessed to have, yet. Maybe give me a few days, you know how my Leo Asc likes to talk about myself! 😂
It must be your Sun that keeps your Asc in check!

[Ava]

Violets, you're so nice I could cry.

Thank you ❤️

My Leo ASC is out of control though...maybe I should just get my own obscure YouTube channel and get it out of my system where no one has to see it.

About your story, no pressure of course. I just think it's great that something happened!

[Violets]

Thank you, Ava. ❤
I don't think anyone has said anything like that to me since I quit working, lol.

Weird (we should be used to it ) that you mention getting a YouTube channel, I literally was just thinking of doing that with my son last night (but not showing our faces, just our funny commentaries on Minecraft when we play it together).

Anyway, waaaayyy off topic, I just think it's so funny how either one of us can be like "Hey, what?! I was literally just thinking that!" 😅

I forget that every time I like, quote, or tag someone they get a separate notification for each. 😬

I think I had one in 2003. That's when I'd started to get over my agoraphobia, and then started to listen to Brian Weiss' relaxation CD. I also started to get past-life regression CD's out either later that year, or the year after. Even though trouble had just started with my sister's husband causing trouble, I was feeling so happy a lot of the time. It was my Saturn Return, and I was having dizzy spells/migraines whenever Saturn got really close to my natal Saturn, but otherwise I felt great. Uranus was conjunct my Mars, square my Moon/Venus/Nodes, and trine my Uranus/ascendant. Neptune was probably still sextile Neptune, and conjunct my IC. The year before, I felt like a sponge, and wasn't feeling so happy: I felt like I was soaking everything up, and couldn't touch the rocking chair that a certain someone favoured when he was here, without feeling gross. I remember washing the whole thing down just before Christmas, tossing the messed up cushion downstairs to be washed, only for the rest of my family to get home, and throw the cushion back into the chair. I was really upset - I wanted to clear the energy that I felt had sunk into it.

I think I was that way a lot when I was younger, though. I thought I saw an angel when I was 3. My sister saw something, too. Now, I'd love to experience something like that again. That's what I've hoped for over the past eight years; instead, it's been one long Pluto-Uranus transit, with Neptune too. I was hoping that Uranus would shake things up in a positive way; instead, we were busy at the hospital, and then couldn't stand staying in the house after we lost mum, my sister was here, so we were going out to the movies occasionally, shopping a bit more, driving back and forth to Canada several times. I can't believe I was at my busiest because my mum died! And this year, I've been more stuck than ever, but this will turn into a vent if I continue.

[Ava]

I like to imagine how that went, at your work, Violets. That level of kindness really does make me tear up.

I'm amazed you can play Minecraft! It makes me dizzy My sons all play. I love that you would make a channel with your son, it seems like it's always the fathers playing with their kids...you would be a trendsetter as a mother! I love it.

anela,

Hope you feel better! It's okay to vent whenever you like. You keep it real. <3
