Hi everyone! This is the beginning of lift off!!!
What’s been happening: How did you all cope with the Easter weekend...Libran Full Moon and the Grand Cross?
Well, I don’t know about you but it felt like I was on the cross! We all were, whether you know it or not. Full Moons are a culmination and it sure felt like something coming to a head...all tied up with relationships...with self, significant others and with our personal/collective destiny at this time. The Grand Cross is shifting us all into directions which align with healing old heart pain, unifying the duality and bringing our personal ego-centred wilfulness into alignment with higher will. The old time warriors were challenged to let go of the battle and surrender to love!
Getting off the cross...hang up the boxing gloves!: The Grand Cross will be with us for quite a few weeks yet, so stay tuned to that wise inner voice. Venus is working with our South Node in Gemini, healing the polarity/duality of the past. We can only come to peace, serenity and love. There is no point in struggling! I have included a channeling which is a great reminder of what’s happening this month. I have highlighted the words that seemed most relevant to me in terms of the bottom line...practical application!
Quote from ‘April 2012 Monthly Visions: Re-booting, Re-wiring and Recalibration’:
What feels like a big void and an inability to get your thoughts straight is part of a massive re-booting, re-wiring, re-setting and recalibration process that was triggered onto a whole new level by the recent Mercury Retrograde.
11th April: Pluto in Capricorn went retrograde until September...a blessed respite with review time in the transformative process! Breathing space!
We tend to think of retrograde periods as an irritating slowdown of energies which prevent us from getting things moving in the physical world. And they certainly have been this year with Mars retrograde for so long and Mercury retrograde piling in on top of that. Those two energies fire us to action.
However, Pluto retrograde is a different story as Pluto rules deep transformational forces. It is a deep subliminal force working in the unconscious, in the shadow of both individual and mass consciousness. Travelling as it is in Capricorn, it has been dredging up deep primal earth energies, the buried cell memories of this planet and its peoples. Lightworkers, old souls, we have been clearing and purifying the unresolved energies of the history/alternate realities of this planet. Yes, this is going to continue for some time. Pluto is in Capricorn until 2024. Now, no moaning...the cleansing on a personal level will not necessarily continue with the same intensity as consciousness is evolved and uplifted into the heart centre.
Capricorn rules systems, governments, bureaucracies, organisations, rules, big business, big money, stockmarkets, banking, underground energies of all kinds including mining, volcanoes etc. You’ve got the picture I’m sure. The makeover of all these systems is well underway as we work towards the redistribution of resources on this planet. We need equity if we want to create heaven on earth.
“This is your ‘get out of jail’ free card!
Go directly to the light, do not pass go, do not collect $200. You are now officially off the Monopoly Game Board aka the Karmic Wheel!’
14th April: Mars direct in Virgo...and we’re off!...’I think I can, I think I can...I KNOW I can!!!’ Slow, steady...but on the move!!! At last!!!
Finally, after months of delay, the little red engine is ready to climb the hill, to overcome the doubts and fears. We have the fire back in the belly and all being well, will find a noticeable difference in our physical well being. Mars is the body and Virgo rules health, wellbeing and healing. These past months we’ve been clearing and processing, often in the physical body, but not necessarily so.
Whilst Mars is fire energy, we need to remember that it’s still moving through the dense energy of an earth sign, so the steam engine will be pretty much our speed...moving, but at a relatively sedate speed compared to a modern hi-speed express train. Mars is in this Virgo energy until July, so we need to be patient and content that this energy will be thorough...a Virgo characteristic...in whatever physical domain is our focus – physical health, healing, wellbeing, everyday work, pets.
Keep calm!!!: Since Mars went retrograde in January, we’ve been working solidly with healing our masculine energies and bringing them into peace and harmony. This next stretch will be a testing period to see how far we’ve come.
Once Mars moves forward, in the coming weeks it will be moving into a tighter opposition/challenge to Chiron/Neptune in Pisces so it’s still very much about spiritually healing and evolving the masculine energy. Being part of the Grand Cross energy, we’re bringing that forceful masculine energy into alignment with the collective direction at this time.
Whilst Mars is still in Virgo, the body recalibration is continuing, but with Mars moving direct we’re likely to feel progress is being made.
The good news is that you will notice a big change in getting plans underway (very Virgo activity) in terms of physical everyday life. Earth signs like Virgo support manifestation of earthly needs, desires, security. This earth energy will get a further boost when the Sun and Moon energies move into Taurus on 20th/21st respectively.
Virgo ensures that Mars doesn’t run away with crazy schemes, impulsive or rash actions. Virgo is cautious, security oriented and level headed. This will offer some tempering of the Mercury in Aries energy which will be tempting to run off in all directions with all kinds of schemes and dreams. Remember, we’re on the steam train, not the hi-speed express!
17th April: Mercury moves into Aries...
it’s all systems go!!! The express train is off! All minds and intellects on board!
On the 14th Mars starts moving forward again and with Mars being the ruler of Aries is really going to fuel forward motion of Mercury as it moves into Aries. Aries is the fire and passion energy that gives us the drive and ambition to get things moving. Aries is about ACTION! Mercury is the mental quicksilver energy of air which offers connection, ideas and mental clarity. Mercury stimulates the intellect.
Prepare for action and crazy freedom!: Both Mercury and Mars are ‘movers and shakers’ and with them now both travelling in direct motion, we’re going to really feel that all that steam we’ve been building up is ready to take our own personal engines of communication and commerce into action!
It could feel a little frantic, even chaotic as the mind opens to solutions, clarity and feels fired for action! Rest assured, the Mars in Virgo energy will help keep us focussed and calm that crazy mind.
We are called to create tuneful resonant ‘music’ aligned with our higher self, although some initial thumping of the keys may release some built up tension!
Bright ideas abound, Commerce and plans get the go ahead!: With Mercury in Aries (the first sign of the zodiac), we’ll be prompted with new ideas and new schemes. Aries energy initiates. Mercury and Mars together are going to stimulate and ignite ideas and plans bringing them to earth through the grounded Virgo energy. Together they can be a formidable team. We’ll probably notice the greatest leap will be with the New Moon in Taurus on 20th as it brings that powerful Taurean earth energy to support all that fire and earth energy.
Mercury rules commerce as well as communication so it is highly likely that commercial ventures have been languishing while Mercury dipped in and out of the Piscean waters of all number of resort destinations. Well, the holiday in the ocean of limitless possibilities is over! If we’ve made the most of this vacation time, we’ll be rested, restored and fired up ready to go.
Upcoming Dates:
20th April: Sun moves into Taurus
21st April: New Moon in Taurus
Well folks, that’s it for the time being. Another one out before the 20th.
As always, love and blessings to all my fellow travellers! Happy travelling on the Orient Express? Trans Siberian Railway? The Ghan? Others???
