7th April Full Moon in Libra


Hi everyone!
Well, it looks promising as the wheels of change start up, maybe groaning after months of marking time. We’re on the move from this week, whilst still recalibrating the body and aligning body, mind, spirit to work together, to ask, to allow and to receive. 
 
However will we get off the treadmill if we don’t give up the control, the hard work, struggle, pain and suffering? They’re old energies deeply embedded in us and the history of the planet so it takes time not just to release the cell memories but to practise new ways of living and to live the mantra ‘ease and grace’!
 
 
What’s been happening?
Being in the retrograde carwash: You may have felt these past weeks you have been revisiting some old issues, wounds, relationships, memories. This is very much a part of Mercury retrograde and Mars too. Maybe you thought you had finished with something then, hey!...here it is again. This could have been emotional, mental, physical or spiritual. Being in retrograde energy is a bit like being in a carwash, the energies washing backwards and forwards to make sure we really are cleansed and polished!
 
Last month I gave the metaphor of re-treading the grapes for the glass of wine. It’s the same principle as the carwash. With Mercury backtracking into Pisces you may have felt awash with emotion...more like a carwash than treading grapes! Now that Mercury is starting to move direct this week, it’s likely we’ll feel some relief from the incessant emotional release. Hopefully, we’re cleansed and purified at the deeper levels!!!
 
Last week: Karmic balancing
Wondering how you all travelled through last week’s energies where we had a challenging aspect in relation to Saturn, shifting our hearts and minds into alignment and karmic balance. It posed some tough energies...good ol’ Saturn...surrender or die!!!
 
Definitely a suitable preparation for the upcoming weeks where we will have the cosmic forces assisting us to open hearts and minds to working together instead of engaging in a perpetual war! It’s all about balance.
 
 
4th April: Mercury goes direct in Pisces...communication, travel and commerce back on track!
 
Give it a week before you start to feel the effect of this change as it takes a little while to kick in. It will be interesting to see what insights are likely to come through for you as Mercury continues to move through the emotional energies of Pisces until 17th April. We are revisiting old territory (see retrograde carwash above) but this is the third time we’ve been over this stretch of water.
 
Mercury, like Mars is speedy so we finally can get into the speedboat and trust it will start without mechanical hitches, breakdowns and delays.
Maybe we can all start understanding each other without feeling as though we’re all speaking in foreign tongues which is sometimes the impact of a Mercury retrograde period.
Hoping you’re not the worse for wear as a result of these past 3 weeks. It can be a trying time as often nothing seems to go as planned, plans fall through.
However, maybe you reconnected to people or places from your past which have had a positive impact on returning to your life.
 
 
4th April: Venus moves out of Taurus into Gemini till 7th August...
an extended stay in the sign of ‘the twins’, ‘the lovers’...
unification of opposites!
 
When Venus moves out of Taurus, an earth sign, we’re going to find a lightening up of energy in our earthly lives, including the body. We still have Mars in Virgo so body work, recalibration and change will continue.
 
Gemini is a light energy, ruled by Mercury, the winged messenger. It’s about communication and learning through interconnectedness. Twitter and Facebook are prime examples of the Gemini energy which is so aligned with technology and the electronic medium.
 
The symbol for Gemini is ‘the twins’ representing the inherent duality that is seeking unification. Gemini is the master of social networking as it seeks connection and reunification with all the variety of aspects within the self.
 
 
 
In the next week or two: Tweeters called to transformation
In the next week or two, Venus will be joining with the South Node in Gemini opposing the Sagittarian North Node, forming a challenging ‘cross’ with Mars in Virgo (healing the masculine) opposing/challenging Chiron and Neptune in Pisces ( the wound in the collective). This probably sounds like gobbledygook, so to translate...
 
 
Translation: Tweeting the warriors...
Come home to love all you lost warriors!
Be washed by the power of divine love and forgiveness!
 
The deep transformation of our masculine psyche embedded in the collective unconscious is called to a depth of wisdom and understanding through our Gemini heart connection. Our tweeting heart calls us to heal the warriors of the earth by connecting with them and reclaiming them as missing pieces of ourselves. Our Gemini heart brings them to the worldly wisdom, understanding and spiritual evolution through the Sagittarian North Node.
 
Venus will be joining the South Node in Gemini, traditionally symbolising our history, our past at this time, evolving the unresolved Gemini energies through the Sagittarian North Node of higher wisdom, learning and understanding of spirituality and worldly inclusiveness. Gemini and Sagittarius are both about education, learning, connecting socially, travel and communication. Both energies serve us in expanding consciousness and when working together like this, promise us inclusiveness and reunion.
 


4th April to 8th August: Big focus on Gemini energies...
Meet yourself...the missing twin...mind and heart being called to work together!
 
4th April to 8th August: Venus is in Gemini, an exceptionally long period of time to stay in one sign.
                                       
 
16th May to 28th June: Venus will be retrograding in Gemini, a rare once-in-8-year event
21st May: A New Moon in Gemini with a solar eclipse – change and more change
11th June: Jupiter enters Gemini for 12 monthsexpansion of positive energy
20th June: A second New Moon in Gemini
 
With so much emphasis on Gemini in these coming months, I felt it worth including this wonderful summation from Alan Oken. His book ‘Soul-centred Astrology’ gives insight into the higher potential of each zodiac sign.
 
From Alan Oken ‘Soul-Centred Astrology’: http://www.alanoken.com/newsletter/May07/newsletter0507c.html
The purpose of Gemini in terms of our ordinary life is to produce an awareness of the relationships that exist between all people, places, and things. In terms of the personality, Gemini does not resolve the dualities and conflicts inherent in these relationships. Gemini focuses our attention of the many, the multiples and the myriads, the potentials and the possibilities. It opens the door for the personality to experience itself in all sorts of environments and life situations. Gemini thus broadens the mind and expands our sense of connectedness with life. But it does not create unity on the personality level; that is simply not its role. Once the individual has evolved the faculty of intuition (through Mercury’s higher octave, Uranus), once our life orientation changes from a focus on form to an identification with energy, then the messenger of desire becomes the Messenger of the Gods and Gemini serves another purpose in our lives. This purpose allows all the communicative potentials that Gemini and Mercury make to serve the mission of the soul. This mission is Love and whenever this word is mentioned, we are taken back to the love goddess Herself, Venus.
In ‘Soul-centred Astrology’, Venus rules Gemini, so in this sense, it’s all about heart.
 
 
 
 
Tweeters arise...
you have nothing to lose but your separation anxiety:   
 
Every zodiac sign has the potential to be either sloshing around in the 3 dimensional world of ‘muggledom’ or elevating to the bigger picture of evolved spirituality. So, the question for us all in the Gemini energy is ‘Are we prepared to utilise our ‘tweeting’ capability to a new level of spirituality where the meeting with and learning from everyone can evolve into a reunification at soul level?’



 
 
7th April: Full Moon in Libra, 5.18 am AEST at 17 degrees 23 Libra...it’s all about partnership, beauty, harmony and love! The Moon calls for peace!
 
Libra rules one on one relationships/partnerships of all kinds. With a Libran Full Moon we’ve got the feminine energy of the moon in all its fullness calling for love, beauty, harmony and peace.
 
The opposing masculine sun energy will be in Aries which wants us to stand up for what want, to be fiercely individualistic to take action in the world. 
 
But the Full Moon is tempering all that fire and desire with ‘Yes, yes darling...what about me??? Can we do this together, because you’re not going to make it without me.’ We need our masculine and feminine selves working together, the intuition and the action, the inner with the outer selves knowing when to act and when to be still.
 
 
 
‘Men are from Mars, women are from Venus’: Aries is our most dominant expression of masculinity, ruled by Mars, the god of war whereas Libra is ruled by Venus which is the expression of our feminine selves. 
 
These signs are opposite each other, challenging us to seek a balance of our masculine/feminine selves. In Libra, which rules one on one partnerships/relationships of all kinds, we seek the balance between the masculine/feminine within ourselves as well as with      significant others.
 
 
At this Full Moon: Make love, not war! The Moon, ‘She who must be obeyed’, is the supreme chairperson for the meeting of the planets in the Grand Cross!
 
These are the energies mentioned above in relation to the North and South Nodes. At the Full Moon, the Grand Cross mentioned above is operational and whilst it is not being directly impacted by the Sun and Moon, the power of the Libran Full Moon, ruled by Venus and the Aries Sun, ruled by Mars indicates their significance in the power plays of the Grand Cross which involve both Mars and Venus.
 
 
Venus in Gemini, Mars in Virgo, Neptune in Pisces in a challenge: 
Body, mind and spirit challenged to elevate into the higher heart centre!
 
Body, mind, heart and spirit all want their say and their way but with the Libran Full Moon as Chairperson, it’s all about conciliation and equity. They’re all under pressure to change their ways. Consensus, conciliation and equity are the keys to resolution. The Libran Moon is guiding them all to the peace and harmony of an equitable working partnership.
 
 
Mars, the masculine, the body: Surrender to the Goddess! The masculine Mars is on the back foot dealing with challenges of the physical (Virgo).
 
 
Venus, the feminine, the heart: Think with your heart! The feminine Venus is working to bring heart energy to the mentally focussed Gemini mind.
At the same time, in a positive way, Venus is being stirred up by Uranus in Aries who is urging her to wake up, break out and do what her heart desires, what’s right for her. Venus is about values and about heart energy and this is the energy calling us very strongly at this time and on through the next few months.
 
 
Neptune, the spiritual ideal of mass consciousness: Look to the dream! Bring in the rainbow heart!! Neptune in Pisces is breaking down resistance to the spiritual, asking mind and heart to work together to bring in hopes and dreams
 
 
Libran chairperson: Everybody gets a fair go! All these energies need to be heard, acknowledged and to learn to work together in peace and harmony and the Libran chairperson will be satisfied and content...as will we!
 
 
This Full Moon is called a ‘supermoon’: a bigger energy impacting on the earth and tides. Earth changes????...possibly...a theory yet to be satisfactorily proven.
A "supermoon" is the coincidence of a full moon (or a new moon) with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit’...Wikipedia
 
 
Speaking of that full moon SuperMoon, it’s exact on April 6, at 17° Libra. (Watch for it rising huge in the eastern sky at sunset, conjunct Saturn and below Mars.) You’ll see it the headlines as well as in the sky. Strong storms with high winds and heavy precipitation are on deck, plus extreme tidal surges and moderate to severe seismic disturbances, including magnitude 5+ quakes and possible tsunamis, as well as volcanic eruptions. This one gets the usual three days either way geocosmic shock window, plus an extra two days at the end in observance of the Moon’s south declination peak on the 10th. That makes April 3-11 the time to watch for newsworthy storms, extreme tides, and moderate-to severe seismic activity (magnitude 5 and higher earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.




Upcoming Dates:
11th April: Pluto in Capricorn goes retrograde
14th April: Mars direct in Virgo...and we’re off!
17th April: Mercury moves into Aries...more action!
 
 
 
 
 
20th April: Sun moves into Taurus
21st April: New Moon in Taurus
 
 
 
 
Well folks, things are starting to move and this is just the beginning. Once Mars gets moving in mid April, the energies are really going to move along, despite the Venus retrograde period from mid May. Mars and Mercury are both planets of movement and activity so with them once again in forward motion, we’ll all notice a decided difference in our lives.
 
 
I hope you are all experiencing the wonderful synchronicities and answers to prayers which have been coming in for me and others of my acquaintance. All that ‘stuck’ energy is clearing as we call in our hope and dreams, fulfilment of our divine mission and fulfilment of our divine potential. The Goddess has been listening.
 
 
 
As always, love and blessings to you all

from the chair, still learning patience
 
 
 
 
 
It’s all about love
