Hi everyone!
It’s a Taurus party travelling under the Taurus Sun accompanied by Mercury,
our mind manager and messenger. Slow down, relax and take some time to enjoy
the beauty of our earth, to count our blessings and to feel the power of
love!
Time to fill the glasses with the fruit of the vine and drink to the beauty
of this earth! The fruit of the goddess is abundant and ready for picking!
Treading the earth with Taurus: Ease and grace! Patience is on
tap!
We’re setting course into a new energy which is
more grounded and steady and with Venus’ entry into Taurus this weekend, it
promises a greater sense of stability and security than we’ve had for some
time. We’ve been experiencing fiery urgency these past weeks with so much Aries
activity. Now we can experience the patience and persistence of Taurus which
makes marking time pleasant rather than irritating.
Uranus in Aries until 2018: Ongoing wake-up calls to our ‘I am’!
We still have Uranus, the awakener, in Aries
until 2018 so ongoing ‘wake up calls’ to our ‘I am’ presence, our authentic
original self as we strip away the layers of conditioning and the projections we
take on from others. We’re in the melting pot of our own discovery process
uncovering our unique and original self!
Post Scorpio Full Moon debrief: How much happens
in just one week! Death process as a new doorway! Goodbye to the ‘old’ and
ready for the new!
The Scorpio Full Moon always carries a big
impact although it was the ‘smallest’ moon/furthest away from us for the year.
Scorpio cuts us free from attachments and does it with a deathly scalpel.
Resistant forces give way in this energy. The full impact of this Full Moon may
not be immediately evident in our mind’s eye but as we moved through this week
to Mercury’s station/turn around we might have found the uplift that comes from
the release of old karmic energies, ties, bonds and contracts.
We’ve been stripped bare of core wounds from this and other realities.
Yes, there’s more to go which is residue and depends on our commitment, focus
and absolute faith in our pathway forward to the fulfilment of our divine
potential and hopes and dreams.
To assist us with our dreams, accessing our deepest desires we’re likely to
get a big updraft with Venus’ arrival in Taurus on 30th April.
What’s coming in:
Retrograde planets: Journey to the centre of our
being!
Homeward bound! Coming home to ourselves!
An inner journey that builds the spirit and sense of self! New
knowledge about ourselves!
With Mercury’s move into retrograde motion, we now have 5 planets
retrograde, something that’s not happened for 10 years. Retrograde planets
offer a period of acceleration and growth of our inner being, our spirit and a
deepening of our soul connection.
An expansive inner journey: Prepare for the journey to the centre
of your being!
With so much retrograde energy nothing much seems to be happening as far as
forward movement in our physical world but our inner selves are expanding at a
rapid rate accessing dimensions of ourselves which we didn’t know existed. This
is particularly true at this time with 5 planets retrograde but in particular
our two movers and shakers on the physical dimension, Mercury and Mars, are now
both in retrograde motion.

We’re already well on the way: Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and Mars
already retrograde! Deep inner changes personally and in social
consciousness!
Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and Mars are already in retrograde motion. Now
Mercury joins them guiding our mind and thoughts to reflection and examination
of our place in the physical world, our place on earth (Mars) and our place
within the social fabric of society (Saturn and Jupiter). It’s interesting that
Pluto retrograde in Capricorn and Jupiter in Virgo are a contributing factor in
focus on the world of work, health, service, career, systems and governments.
29th April: Mercury stations retrograde at 3.19 am
AEST at 23 degrees 36 Taurus...coming home!
Retrograde until 22nd May
Spiritually:
Travelling on, travelling in: We’re on the move
spiritually!
We’re travelling across the earth in all its beauty! It may not seem
beautiful to many of our earth family at this time but the call is always to
visualise the ideal and bring it into manifestation. Mercury retrograde is a
perfect time to get in touch with those inner images of the ideal and to harness
our thoughts and mind in positive directions for change for the better.
Revisiting the past, dreaming in the future: No time, no
space!
Mercury’s retrograde period opens up all manner
of dimensional doorways to other realities, other times and other places. As
the messenger, Mercury’s gathering data we need in order to proceed once our
vehicle moves forward after Mercury moves direct. This is a time to be receptive
and to listen to our inner, divine self who is reaching out to us with valuable
knowledge and insight.
Reconnections, renewals, revitalisations: People from the
past!
During Mercury retrograde periods we often
reconnect to people and places from past times. It may be to close off loose
ends and/or renew connections in a whole new way. Just remember that ‘past’
times can mean from other lifetimes where we knew each other as different
entities. With Mercury in Taurus and Venus in Taurus too, we could find a strong
heart/mind connection along with an earthy sensuality that draws people
together.
Old knowledge, new tricks: Review, revise, revisit, recover or
renew!
Similarly, during this time period we dig out,
recover or rediscover past ideas, project, hopes and dreams that were put on the
backburner or even discarded for any number of reasons. With Mercury in Taurus
our mind is opened to new possibilities which can be grounded in earthy reality
and which offer a deep heartfelt joy. Let’s not forget that Taurus is governed
by Venus and is concerned with the joy of earthly existence, hearts overflowing
with the joy of creative expression which can be translated into earthly
pleasures. That really opens up all manner of possibilities which will please
Mercury no end!
On the mundane level:
Retrograde glitches:
Stay aware and utilise risk management strategies...calm, patience
and awareness!
It’s just Mercury retrograde!
Mercury is our mind power ruling communication, travel, education and
networking. When retrograde we know that Mercury can affect any or all of these
areas of our life as it calls us to tune in to slow down, tune in to the higher
mind and activate risk management procedures that flow from our intuition.
Time and motion become fluid: Mercury retrograde can be ‘manyana
is good enough for me’!
Mercury’s natural speed is fast and mercurial and he doesn’t take well to
those glitches which can arise during a retrograde period. Awareness of
potential disruption is the first step in working with this energy. Anything
related to times, appointments, communication devices, travel
arrangements/bookings, any means of transportation. Double check all equipment,
vehicles, communication devices, batteries etc. Make extra time for possible
traffic delays and double check appointment times and arrangements. Let go of
the ‘rage’ at the universe running the show!
Mercury in Taurus: The physical body
Any of the following areas may be affected with clearing
energies:
brain, central nervous system, thyroid gland, five senses,
hands
30th April: Venus moves into Taurus at 10.35 am
AEST
Home is where the heart is!
Until 24th May
Dreams are made of this: Relax and
breathe in the earth and her beauty!
Ruled by Venus, our heart energy, Taurus helps
us bring our heart’s desires into the earthly realm. With so many planets in
retrograde motion we’ll be concentrated on re-igniting old dreams and desires
which are still active in our beings. What do we have to do to access these
deep desires within? Relax, connect to the earth, open our hearts to the beauty
of life and be receptive to the messages coming through our ‘dreamtime’, night
time, daydreaming, contemplation and meditation.
Living the abundant life: It’s love, love, love...all the
way!
Venus in Taurus offers us the cup of earthly abundance if we are ready to
accept our entitlement and worthiness to live as an earth being filled with
love.
The five senses come alive: ‘Touch me in the
morning’
Venus in Taurus offers an earthy sensuality to our
desire to experience love and we seek love and joyous expansion through
interactions with our earthy world. I think this is a ‘twitter’ kiss...short and
sweet. Not exactly Venus in Taurus!
It may come through touch, taste, smell, sound or sight and can encompass
any number of experiences whether it be in nature, working with some kind of
physical material in an artistic creation or in loving connection to another.
The sky’s the limit with this one! We’re being awakened to the joy of being a
human being.
The Sun, Venus and Mercury all in Taurus:

The Sun our essence, Venus our heart and Mercury our mind! Celebration!
Now we have the Sun, Venus and Mercury all in Taurus at least for a few
weeks until Venus moves on. Make the most of this line up of spirit, heart and
mind all on the same page. There’s agreement all round and it gives us the open
door for accessing these 3 key aspects of our creative life force to bring forth
something truly beautiful, harmonious and
It’s an uplift into the power of love, beauty and earthly joy:
Reclaiming our earthly human lives!
After the past months and years of purification and cleansing which have
been dampening our spirits, this is just the uplift we need!
Although Mars is still shifting our physical bodies into higher
consciousness, the heaviness of heart, mind and spirit that has been with us for
so long is now being lifted as we taste earth’s richness and all it has to
offer. For those continuing to experience physical shifts, aches and pains we
are likely to find the intensity alleviated a little if we take time to connect
to earthly joys.
25th April: Latest message from Lauren Gorgo
‘Embodiment of Love: revelation phase’
Quote from above:
‘There
is coming a deliverance. This conjures up many connotations so let us be more
clear in what we are conveying: you are moving out of an old cycle of human
dependency and into a new cycle of self-sustainability.
After
several weeks of very thorough inner-excavation and demolition of old life
structures, those working with their highest aspects can now begin to assimilate
to what I am hearing called a
new, higher life force energy…a stream of personal energy that
is self-contained, self-informing, but
most importantly, self-governing.
To
activate this new life force energy is to make
space for it, to clear the remaining residue of our past so that we
are free to expand into the cocreation of the new world consciousness. The
extent to which we create space within will yield the new space around us, one
constructed of the true inner essence of who we ultimately are.’
Why have so many celebrities died in 2016: Coming into our own
power and creativity!
This article makes complete sense to me. However, I can see the broader
changes happening in the shifting consciousness of the masses. Celebrities hold
the projections of the people, the part of them that would like to be
successful, famous, wealthy, creative etc. that haven’t fully manifested in the
world. Celebrities hold ‘the ideal’ image of people’s aspirations. Yes, it’s
about admiration, love and respect and a whole host of other emotions.
So what is happening as these icons leave physical existence? I feel that
we are letting go, being forced in a way to let go of those projections through
which we’ve lived our lives, those heroes/heroines who have lived out an
existence on behalf of us. We’re growing up, growing into being our own
‘celebrity’ in our lives. Time to find our own star and let it take us into the
bigger picture of our own lives. It’s finding our own ‘I am’ presence.
I wrote the above two paragraphs before I received Lauren Gorgo’s latest
message which absolutely convinced me we’re on track as she talks of moving out
of dependency and into ‘self-sustainability’. Owning/releasing projections and
attachments is all part of that process as we choose to stop living our lives
through others and step into our own power, strength and uniqueness.

That’s it folks! Looks like an interesting few weeks, couple of months
with Mars working our physical bodies over with cellular regeneration.
As always, love and blessings to us all as we take time to really
experience ourselves as earthlings and own our journey as such. We’re being
accelerated in our spiritual expansion whilst being given some of the earthly
pleasures which haven’t been as accessible as we cleared all that has been
keeping us from the joy of life. The promise of spiritual rebirth in the
coming weeks is palpable.
In joy and celebration
