31st March 2014 New Moon in Aries

 

Hi everyone!
 
We’re travelling under a fiery Aries Sun since the 21st March.  
What...couldn’t find the fire???? 
 
What’s been happening: 
It’s okay, we’re clearing huge emotional and spiritual energies of the past, the memories both personal and collective!
 
Final stages of lunar year:  watery and emotional!
But...if you haven’t felt fired for change, it’s because we’ve been wading through the final stages of the lunar year under the umbrella of the Pisces New Moon of 1st March.
 
Emotional and spiritual healing:
It’s been an emotional ending of the past lunar year with so many planets in water/emotional signs and Neptune/spirit and Chiron/healing in strong play with each other through these past weeks. 
 
Here’s the line up of planets in water/emotional signs:
 Mercury in Pisces:    emotional and spiritual communication
Jupiter in Cancer:     expansion, emotional security
Saturn in Scorpio:     karmic cleansing and purification/earth and physical
Neptune in Pisces:    elevation of collective emotions spiritually
Chiron in Pisces:       emotional healing of the body and ‘wounds’
 
6th April:    Venus/our heart energy, moves into Pisces on 6th April to join all the others swimming in oceans of change!
 
8th April:    Mercury/our mind,  moves out of Pisces into Aries...the fiery mind returns from the watery Piscean depths!
 
 
 
 
Mars continues his retrograde journey in Libra until 20th May:  
The physical healing and body recalibration continues!
If you haven’t experienced any physical and/or emotional challenges in the past couple of weeks, I can only say you are not being directly affected by this recalibration of the physical body.  Of course, it depends on whether your personal natal chart/current transits are being impacted by the current energies. 
 
However, not all people are doing the intense physical recalibration, purification and rebalancing of the physical body.  It really depends on the path you have chosen.  For someone dealing with physical health, so much of it is likely to be attributed to ancestral, planetary and past life memories which we have chosen to clear for our own evolution and in our participation with the evolution of the planet. 
 
Of course, the highly sensitive, highly empathic beings on the planet are likely to experience more intensely what’s happening on the earth and often within our own physical bodies.  This is our pathway this lifetime. 
 
It’s all spiritual:    
We need the purity of fire as our driving force through challenges, whether physical, mental, emotional!

Last week was an intense week which knocked a lot of us around physically and/or emotionally but the bottom line is always spiritual which encompasses all.  It felt to me like I’d hit a black hole of despair when I awoke Tuesday morning.  I later discovered that others had also experienced this energy.  I was aware I had started taking some flower essences which had probably flushed out these feelings.  We don’t know if it’s just us going through this until we hear from others also experiencing these energies. 
 
The power of ritual:    I have my rituals which always pull me through – the cup of tea, meditation and light work, then sitting out in the garden with the sun/vitamin D, coffee to boost the blood pressure and courage.  After meditation last Tuesday, I suddenly wondered what was happening with the missing Malaysian airline.  That was the morning when the relatives were told that the plane was officially missing, lost at sea.  The resultant wave of grief was intense.  Did I experience their grief along with mine?  I believe so.  Of course, there has to be some emotion in me which connects to their emotion.  
Like attracts like...as we all know!
 
If we have these rituals, doesn’t matter what hits us, as we immediately take action to shift the energy in the best way for us at that time.  If you can exercise, dance, go for a bushwalk, it can be just perfect.  Other times, we just need to be still and bring in the light, the fire, the spiritual water and the breath.  The movement and being in nature is great for connecting with the earth energies.  
 
It is our spirit which pulls us through!  
It is our spirit which is driving us, even if we’re laid out on our beds, sofas! 
 
I have been experiencing an increasing presence of Kuan Yin/Guan Yin, the Goddess of love and compassion, protector of the impoverished, women and children.  Is it just me?  Who knows!  Doesn’t matter.  ‘She who hears the cries of the world’ is with us, just as are the other ascended masters, angels, archangels, light families, soul families, birth families, ancestors and Elohim! 
 
 
Mars and Saturn in close aspect this past week:    
Pulling us apart physically! 
Still with us for about another week but lessening in impact!!!
These two planets both work on the physical dimension, one with the personal physical body, the other with the broader society and the earth energies and human structures.  They met exactly on 30th, so their combined impact is reducing over the next week. 
 


Possible body influences:   
You may have been ‘hit’ in the joints, teeth, knees, bones (Saturn), with heat, blood pressure changes, head stuff/sinus, headaches, heaviness in head etc(Mars).

Balance may well have been impacting with falls, trips, dropping, spilling things.  Libra is all about balance
 
Sleeping patterns:    all over the shop for plenty of us!
Some of the above intensity could well have been impacting us overnight.  Possibly needing more sleep than usual with the ‘heaviness’ in the physical/emotional bodies releasing when we rest/sleep. 





 
 
What’s coming in:
 
31st March:    New Moon in Aries at 9 degrees 59 at 5.44 am AEDT
 Art: ‘Daughter of the Moon’ by Rudolph Carl Gorman

A New Lunar Year:    Aries New Moon
The Sun and New Moon align on the same degree in Aries, signifying the beginning of the new lunar year.  We went through the doorway of the Equinox, the beginning of the new solar year on 21st March. 
 
Aries fire blasting through the emotions:
We’ve cleared the ‘old’ astrological year and whew, hasn’t it been a big finishing off!  It’s not stopping here.  It’s a culmination of energies of the past 12 months and in particular the last Pisces lunar month.  Emotions that have been bubbling away, welling up, festering then clearing out, are now going to get a strong dose of fiery passionate energy, a ‘hit’ of the driving force of the warrior Aries energy.
 
 
Sun and Moon joining forces with a fiery blast of passion, drive and fire:
This New Moon is a beginning and a powerful one at that, ushering in the new astrological year with the masculine warrior Sun and the feminine warrioress Moon holding hands and calling us to JUMP!
 

Couples holding hands jump over the Ivan Kupala bonfire during the festivities. If you don't let go - you'll live together happily ever after!


 
The Aries New Moon:  
Calling us to ignite our individual passion and our unique gifts! 
The connection of the New Moon and Sun to Uranus guarantees that we are activating our unique and particular individuality along with a drive and passion to get moving with new endeavours. We will feel the call to get going, but may not be quite sure of ourselves...just yet!


This New Moon is giving us a taste of what’s to come this month and is getting us fired and ready to deal with a powerful month astrologically!
 
More information and changes through the month:    
Two eclipses and a major eruption of energies with a Grand Cardinal Cross!
Just keep leaping:
This week marks the beginning of ‘jumping month!!!  Everybody leaping, leaping, leaping!  NOT all the time...just when needed!
We will be getting ongoing ‘wake-up’ calls through the month which are likely to push us to take action!!!
 
However, we won’t be sure of the full picture...does this sound like a recorded message of Groundhog Day??? haha...until mid May as two eclipses are coming up in the next month. Those eclipses will give more insight and knowledge on direction and focus.    
 
 
 
Aries the warrior, the battering ‘ram’ :    


Courage, drive and determination are on tap!

Courage and fighting spirit is on hand to assist the inner ‘sheep’ to leap the fence out of the paddock of conditioning!

Come on sheeples!!!


Mars still retrograde until 20th May:  Cruise control!
Full power and drive becomes more accessible from May 20th.
Well, it won’t be all systems go, even though it looks that way as Mars, ruler of Aries and our fire and drive, is still being contained by its retrograde motion and the rebalancing its getting in Libra, sign of justice and harmony.
 
Cruise control until 20th May:    Remember, we are still working with ‘cruise control’ as far as managing our fiery horsepower.  You may want to take off like the ram, but may also be held back by physical circumstances including the physical body.
 
 
 
 At the New Moon:  The domino effect!
New Moon/Sun conjoin Uranus which is squaring/challenging Pluto...a taste of what’s to come.
This New Moon is the beginning of a month of changes...sudden, unexpected, transformational and powerful!
 
Priming us for the Grand Cardinal Cross activating from mid April! 
 
Uranus, the great awakener triggers the New Moon in Aries:  
A radical push for change and change now!
Just a couple of degrees off the New Moon and Sun, Uranus is adding a huge sudden impetus to this New Moon.   It becomes electric fire blasting us out of the watery emotional energies in which we’ve been swimming.
 
Walls of resistance are falling this month:
Radical, extreme energies are pushing us to take action at this New Moon.  Breaking down prison walls will happen over the next month.
Just be aware of acting at the right time for you.  Personal timing is important.  However, the impetus from now on will be intense and demanding! 
 
 
Uranus/Pluto square triggered by the New Moon:   
Reinforcing the tone of this month of CHANGE..
sudden, dramatic, powerful!
This one’s been with us for a while.  Just a reminder:  radical, freethinking, freeflying Uranus keeps challenging the Capricorn status quo whilst Pluto dredges the depths and transforms the forms and structures of our society.
 
Governments, multinationals, powerful people and powerful structures continuing to get their overhaul. 
Sacred cows will be challenged even more dramatically!
 






Heads up:   
The New Moon heralds a fiery, electric energy for the month of April!
Be prepared for the unexpected globally and personally!  Think positive!
 
DO NOT expect the worst! 
These energies are likely to blast us through so many blockages which have been holding us back. 
 
The bigger picture:    End of April
We won’t get the bigger picture until the New Moon in Taurus solar eclipse at the end of April when we’ll start making changes to our lives on earth...for the better!  Remember, Taurus is earthly abundance!!!! 
 
The full picture:    
mid May at the end of the eclipse cycle on Full Moon in Scorpio!!!  
 
 
 
The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon and Sun in Aries:  A Teacher Gives New Symbolic Forms to Traditional Images
 
The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon is Aries 10: A Teacher Gives New Symbolic Forms To Traditional Images.
This Symbol is very much about 'rewriting your story' or 'rewriting the book'.
 
Extracts from Lynda’s message for this New Moon:
 
‘This Symbol shows someone who can take a thing or a situation and transform and update it. The ‘Traditional Images’ can be ideas, objects, icons, beliefs; things we are familiar with. That a ‘Teacher Gives New Symbolic Forms’ shows the ability to restructure, reinterpret and present them more in tune with the times. It indicates a need for a fresh and revitalized perspective on things. This is what Marc Edmund Jones and Elsie Wheeler did with the Sabian Symbol “experiment”. Dane Rudhyar took the Symbols a step further, giving them further depth and insight.’
 
‘Keywords: New dimensions breaking old thought forms or behavior. Quantum
science. Innovation and re-creation. Working with educational tools. Finding new inspiration. Being “ahead of one’s time”. New-age consciousness. Ideas out of the past for the future. Sticking one’s neck out. Rewriting the book.

The Caution: Rejecting old ideas because they are old instead of reforming them. Throwing things of worth out, without examining them. Having little respect for things that are really worthwhile or traditional. Sticking with the tried and true, no matter what. Thinking that no one will be interested in your ideas.’

Upcoming Dates:
6th April:    Venus moves into Pisces
8th April:    Mercury moves into Aries
 
 
That’s it folks!
 
This is the beginning of a roller coaster ride this month, starting with the New Moon, through the Full Moon lunar eclipse in Libra mid April, the Grand Cardinal Cross hitting us mid-month and into the New Moon in Taurus solar eclipse on 29th April.  We won’t feel the full emergence until the Full Moon in Scorpio in mid May. 
 
As always, my fellow travellers, roller-coaster riders, love and blessings to us all!

Trusting that this all reads ok as it’s been a bit ‘push to shove’ for me this past week or two.  Sorry I'm a bit late with this posting today.

17th March 2014 Full Moon in Virgo

 
Hi everyone!
 
Still swimming under the Pisces Sun until the Equinox, 21st March, when the Sun moves into Aries, the beginning of our astrological year.
 

 
I’m not alone it seems in experiencing a physical exhaustion which demands nothing less than sleep, rest, meditate, sleep, sleep!  If you’re one of this number, be assured you are not alone.  Just do whatever it takes to get through.
 
It depends on your individual journey, planetary placements and of course whether your soul chose to do the biological recalibration.  All that matters is we keep taking care of ourselves during this time.  Mars retrograde in Libra along with the Saturn retrograde are players in this energy work, along with the ongoing solar flares which effectively pump light into us.
  
 
I’m trusting for a surge of life force returning, even if not in full measure, when the Sun moves into Aries on 21st, the Equinox!  Mars, our fire and life force, is still retrograde until 20th May.  However, I would expect some energy returning after the Equinox.
 
 
What’s been happening:
 
 
1st to 8th March:    
A choppy week of changes...how did you cope with all the changing currents????
A New Moon in Pisces, 4 planets changing direction and 1 planet changing signs!!!
 
Not the easiest of weeks to negotiate!  Most people I heard about seemed to be on the back foot a little but managing to stay afloat and to keep sailing through the tides of change.  When there are changes to the planets, it’s like a whole new set of behaviours and responses being called into play and we’re forced to start learning the ropes of these new energies in the management of our lives, both everyday and in the long term. 
 
The personal planets:   Mercury, Mars, Venus
3 personal planets making a change (Mercury, Mars, Venus) pushed into changes on the everyday level and in relation to the mind, body and heart. Mercury (the mind) is gaining pace and focus again whilst Mars (the physical body) is slowing us down as it backtracks in Libra, bringing balance, harmony and justice to our bodies.  Remember, our physical being is the last to make the changes, as it is of greater density than our mind or emotions. 
 
Venus moved into Aquarius until 6th April, calling us to liberate our hearts and lighten the personal load of any grief, pain, separation from love. 
 
 
The social planets:    Jupiter and Saturn
 
Saturn retrograde:    Dropping off the baggage!  Clearing the way forward, taking charge of our lives!
Saturn, turned retrograde in Scorpio, a final call to clear up and transform any burdens of pain, suffering, hardship, struggle, treadmill mentality.  We’re letting go of any unnecessary baggage and karmic burdens which haven’t been released.
 
Recovering our talents, gifts and building our new directions:    Reclaiming our earthly authority!
At the same time, we’re retrieving knowledge of our particular strengths, abilities, life calling, direction and divine mission as we reclaim our authority in this earthly life.  We may well be building new foundations for our future based on these recovered abilities and strengths. 
 
 
 
 
11th March:    Jupiter moved out of ‘port’ and takes to the open sea...moving at last!  Back to the present...and the future!
Relief at last? Jupiter started moving forward again on 11th March. He's been resting in port, stationary,  since last Thursday after changing direction and waiting to get the go ahead from the cosmic port authority. 

Jupiter is growth, expansion and optimism. He inspires 
growth and movement. He's been in retrograde motion for the past 4 months travelling through Cancer, dredging up memories and the past for resolution and laying ghosts to rest.

Now, we're all aboard and ready to move on.
Not up to full speed for a while yet as Jupiter will still be in shadow. But at least we can start accessing being 'in the here and now'!
 
 
 
From 4th to 12th March:    Mercury in Aquarius squaring off to Saturn in Scorpio...a tight squeeze and challenge to shift the thinking! 
 
From 4th to 12th March, we had Mercury/mind energy in Aquarius working with a challenging square to Saturn/status quo energy in Scorpio. You've probably been challenged to drop off a whole lot of 'old' beliefs, conditioning, patterns of thinking as Mercury called us to the freeing of the mind.
 
On 11th, they came to their meeting and intensity, so we spent the rest of the week from 11th, learning again to relax and integrate new information. 

Maybe you didn’t get any new insights or weren’t aware of any...not yet, anyway! 
 
 
Mars retrograde in Libra slowing, repairing and rebalancing, insuring we’re on track with our passions and desires! 
 
Physical body feeling exhausted?  
Mars is getting a makeover, physical recalibration and rebalancing!  In the repair shop!!!
Mars is our physical drive, energy, passion and is very much associated with enacting our passion in the world.  Now if your physical body has been calling for extra sleep, rest, meditation, quiet time, then chances are your physical body is getting a makeover, a rebalance and a tune up!
 
Just imagine that while we’re resting, all the cells of our body are filling with a
light force which clears old cell memories and renews with an enlightened energy, equipping us for new directions, lives and the energy to move forward. 
 
Yes, we’re moving slowly, balancing our relationships and bringing balance to our physical bodies.  Mars (along with Saturn)  is making sure we are truly in touch with our deepest desire and highest calling.  Nothing can be rushed in this matter. 
 
Mars retrograde working with Saturn retrograde...making sure we’re fully tuned up physically and fully attuned to our divine destiny!
These planets going retrograde at the same time, are giving a very clear message about our physical direction forward.  Mars is slowing us down to clear any blockages/limitations held within our bodies whilst Saturn, master of physical manifestation and karma, is making sure we’re aligned with our highest authority, our divine mission this lifetime, clearing up any outstanding karmic ties, burdens. 
 

Goodbye to the ghosts of the past...karmic burdens, false beliefs, conditioning!
It’s definitely time to let go of patterns of behaviour and difficult conditions within our lives! Mars and Saturn are helping us, so any slow progress is a blessing if we make sure we ‘do the work’, face and release fears, doubts insecurities, false belief systems and old conditioning which will hamper our progress. 
 
 
Saturn retrograde:  3rd March to 21st July
Mars retrograde:    2nd March till 20th May 
 
Leading into the Full Moon:   Positive energies for clearing and moving into an open space of readiness to receive the full moon messages!
 
14th to 16th March:    Mars in Libra trines Mercury in Aquarius... a perfect set up to prepare us to receive the full measure of the Full Moon energies!
Mind and body come into harmony, alignment and agreement for a couple of days.  The freeing of the mind with Mercury in Aquarius effectively opens the door for the physical body to come into harmony and balance. 
 
13th to 16th March:       Saturn in Scorpio trine the Sun in Pisces...powerful clearing and realigning energy! 
Out with the old and in with the new more evolved energies of the enlightening Pisces Sun. Keep your eye on the vision! 
 
We’re doing both at once, offloading and accessing the bigger vision of our lives.  It may not come into clarity until the Full Moon followed by the move of Mercury into Pisces this week.  Just keep open to insights and keep offloading struggle and pain!
 
 
 
17th March:    Full Moon in Virgo 26 degrees 1 Virgo 4.08 am AEDT...out with the ‘old’!!!
 
Divine Mission:    Inspired contribution of ourselves in world service!
Virgo, the sign of the master healer, the purifying force of the feminine earth energy, is the sign calling us to our divine mission.  This is where we’re called to take our authority and be excited when we give of ourselves with our gifts and talents. 
This is not ‘treadmill’ energy.  It is inspired giving!
What serves our own growth, serves the world! 

 Sun is in Pisces opposite the Full Moon in Virgo:
    
Grounding energy and seeking vision!

It’s all water and earth.  All those emotions of this Pisces solar month are needing grounding as we’ve been floating on so many oceans, seemingly going nowhere.  Of course, we haven’t been ‘going nowhere’.  We’ve been getting in touch with our higher vision and clearing the backlog of emotional energy which has blocked our forward movement.
 
A culmination, a completion, a finishing off:   
Clearing the decks!
The Full Moon marks things coming to a head in some area of our lives.  What needs completion is brought to our attention and puts us on notice to carry on with the completion process for the next two weeks until the New Moon in Aries.
 

 Virgo brings commonsense and sensible thinking: 
 Be in integrity!
Let go of the worry and anxiety!

Virgo, is an earth sign, ruled by Mercury which is the quicksilver mind, sometimes diverted by Virgo’s anxiety to ‘get everything done’ in the deep-seated need to perfect our physical existence.  We know that ‘perfection’ in 3 dimensional thinking, is an illusion.  A more evolved expression of the Virgo energy is ‘purification’ and coming into integrity.
 
 
 
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile’!  
Out with the worries!  Drop the burdens!!!
Virgo energies can bring up worry, anxiety, overthinking and overanalyzing.  The moon is a big powerful emotional energy which floods our whole being and has the potential to wash away all the anxieties and worries which have been hanging out in our aura and bodies. By the same token, these emotions can take us over if we let the emotions have their way.  Keep reaffirming the commitment to clearing purification and don’t let anxieties take hold!!!
 
Clearing unfinished business and getting focussed on your ‘calling’!  
The Virgo Moon brings manifesting potential! 
At the full moon remain focussed on insight and vision related to your higher path, your calling, your divine mission and let the blockages fall away as we keep our eye, mind, heart, spirit on that higher vision!
 
Keep your eye of the prize:    Call it in! 
Our main focus at the moon is tuning in to our true selves and calling in what aligns with our heart, mind, body and spirit.  Earth signs carry the potential for manifestation on the physical plane.  So, an earthy Virgo full moon carries the stuff of earthly dreams when aligned with our true calling, authentic selves and divine mission of earthly service. 
 
 
 
Sorting, sifting, discriminating, discerning:  
Virgo’s sharp mind lends itself to some clarification at the full moon.
Virgo energies highlight what’s of greatest significance and give us the drive and wherewithal to sort out our physical existence.
 
The sorting and sifting, cataloguing of the Virgo energy lends itself to mental work.  However, with the Pisces energy in play, it’s not necessarily a straight out mental exercise, or a physical housecleaning.  Those energies may well be available to you. 
 

Clearing the excess:    Imagine a kitchen colander. Put everything into the colander and let the excess drain out of you.  That means emotional, mental, spiritual and physical.  This could be a useful meditation focus.
 
Just let the excess drain off!
 
 
 
Wish for the Full Moon in Virgo
I open to my new pathway and call my destiny to me 
 
 
 
 
 
Both of these symbols carry an image of fulfilment, being fulfilled and fully provided for by the divine feminine energies of Mother Earth, the Moon and a communal gathering with those resonating to the feminine and abundant. Working with the feminine/inner energies and consciousness calls us to hold ourselves in the energy of abundance, believe and live as though we are abundant and to be in gratitude for our gifts.  In this way, we magnetise ongoing abundance and fulfilment.   
 
The Sabian symbol for the Sun at 27* Pisces is: The Harvest Moon illumines a clear autumnal sky.
 
In autumn when the Harvest Moon shines, it often looks bigger than other full moons.  It heralds a time of harvest, of bringing in what we have cultivated and sown.  At the end of the astrological year, we also do this on a karmic level.  What have we sown this year and what have we reaped?  As you float on the moonlit waters, see what you’ve accomplished this year and let it go, so that the seeds of this new year have room to grow.



The Sabian symbol for the Moon at 27* Virgo is:  A group of aristocratic ladies meet ceremonially at a court’s function. 
All societies need certain rituals that hold and focus the energies of the people so we can act as a community.  It is the feminine spirit that holds the hopes and wishes of any society.  And it is the Divine Feminine who is calling to us now to remember we are all one—that we depend upon each other.  It reminds us to be courteous, thoughtful and compassionate as we head into the tumultuous times coming our way this April. 

Linda Hill gives more detail and information on the symbols for the planetary energies at this Full Moon:   
 
 
 18th March:    Mercury moves into Pisces until 17th April...uplifting minds to a higher order of consciousness...Inspiration!
Get ready to receive the messages of divine inspiration over this next month!
 
Pisces is higher consciousness:  Open to the insights of divine inspiration!
Pisces is the higher consciousness, operating beyond logical thinking.  It is as big as the ocean and is open to our minds for the next 4 weeks.  Make the most of it!
 
More water in our communication channels!  That means more emotion and the opportunity to access a broader canvas of the artistic and the spiritual energies. 
 

Mercury rules communication!  
In Pisces, emotional understanding comes within reach!
Mercury is our mind, an analytical energy which is not used to negotiating the watery emotions which is the Pisces home territory.  With Mercury in Pisces, we have an opportunity to get some mental understanding of and insight into our emotions and feelings. 
 
Movement and travel:  Spiritually and emotionally
Mercury rules travel and movement and the sign in which it’s travelling, indicates the kind of landscape where we’ll be travelling.  I’m not talking physical water here.  It’s the energy of the watery medium of emotions, art, spirituality.  We’ll be travelling through the upper spheres of our spiritual being, exploring and discovering new and exciting ways of expressing ourselves in our lives and the world.  
 
20th/21st March:    
Mercury will be out of retrograde shadow
More movement forward available to us!
 
 
 
 
 
 
21st March:    Sun moves into Aries
The Equinox
 
                                                                                                   
Ready, steady....GO!  Moving, but in cruise control!
Well, maybe not full bore, but certainly more invigorated!  We’re still dealing with Mars, ruler of Aries, in retrograde motion, so the brakes are still on. 
 
Nice and steady:  
Cruise control...fired at a steady pace!  Risk management!
Just imagine we’re in cruise control.  Not a bad thing in some ways as Aries energy can be impulsive, reckless and beyond reasoning.  So, Mars retrograding in Libra, is holding us steady and operating like a risk management strategy.
 



A new year astrologically:    Make the most of a fresh start!
Aries is the first sign of the astrological year, which marks another beginning, a starting point for new energies.  No, it's not a race...truly!
 



Passion and drive returning:  
Fire burning through resistance and blockages. 
Aries is a fiery individualistic energy which can lift our spirits and get some passion and drive back into our lives.


 
Just what the doctor ordered...fire! 
We all know when we’re ‘fired’ by something, all resistance falls away and the fire energy is more than likely what a lot of us are needing at this time to help get us moving.

 
Partnership calls to our hearts:
Aries ruler Mars is in Libra, sign of partnership and now the Sun’s in Libra, there may be greater desire for building partnerships, seeking partnerships and joint ventures.  
 
 
 
 
The Equinox:    
A magical doorway to new realities!
Let the magic of the Equinox energies open you to the new possibilities and realities which have been beyond vision and understanding up to now.  The curtains open on to a different stage, a new way of being.  Are you ready to see and envision?
 
The Equinox marks a turning point in the year.  In March, it is Autumn Equinox in Australia and in the Northern Hemisphere, it marks Spring Equinox.  They carry different energies seasonally, yet both mark the same March Equinox when the Sun enters Aries.
 
The Equinox, like the Solstice, marks a powerful time of change for the planet and indicates new possibilities emerging if we tune in to the higher dimensions.  At this time, the Earth and Cosmos speak to us, if we’re ready to listen.
 
Take a few moments to switch the mind off and hear the voice of your heart beating in tune with the earth herself.  

Open your vision and imagination to the ‘worlds’ beyond, as the curtains to other realities part and let us see a different vision of our life on earth.
