28th March 2017 New Moon in Aries, 1st April Mercury enters Taurus

Photo:  Millie Hagan 

Hi everyone!  Wow!  
What a week, what a time we’re in and a big week to come!


Travelling under the Aries Sun we’re being called to negotiate a few dark clouds with the fiery flames of our inner light!
What's been happening:
We came through the Equinox doorway right into the energies of a challenge to raise our consciousness to a whole new level of being, thanks to the connections between Mercury, Pluto and Jupiter from 23rd to 26th March.

Nervous systems stretched and minds releasing doubt and anxiety:
As we move towards the energies of the New Moon, Mercury is making his connection to Uranus triggering a whole reboot and upgrade to our mental operating system which may be has us shaking in your boots.
 
Negotiating the tensions:  Getting fired in the Astroboy boots!
Remember those boots of Astroboy firing and ready for action?  Time to put them on and access the strength, courage and will power.  I will to will they will!

Eris and Uranus rattling the ‘cages’ of comfort!
With Eris, the feminine 'partner' to radical Uranus still travelling with him on the same degree, 23 degrees Aries right into the New Moon energy on 28th, we’re guaranteed to feel unsettled, disturbed and shaken with anything that is holding us back from new directions and growth. 

Get out the boots!  Where are the Doc Martin’s?  Grounding the nervous tensions!

Eris is a feisty force that can bring forth suppressed emotions as the wrath of the Goddess, creating chaos and confusion.  Nancy Sinatra's old hit 'These boots are made for walking' may just be the therapeutic energy we are all needing to blast our way out of any ‘nervous Nellie’ energies.  This fire energy is a 'boots and all' energy which is demanding all our willpower and faith to blast through the ceiling of the old paradigm.  

As Mercury connects to Uranus and Eris all in Aries from 26th to 29th March, we may feel we can’t breathe, can’t get our breath as the sheer magnitude of old energies rise up for resolution and release from within. 
The nervous and respiratory systems are still being challenged with these energies. Let's remember that the nervous system runs throughout our whole body and is likely to impact anything from the digestive system to the skin to the breathing.

Of course Pluto in Capricorn is a major player in this primal release from within and without working with Jupiter in Libra to bring karmic justice, completion and resolution to our battered spirits.


27th March:  
Mercury enters shadow retrograde at  24 degrees 15 Aries
Until 10th April when it retrogrades
Shadow retrograde time is our indicator that whatever happens with respect to Mercury’s areas of interest will be revisited from 4th May when Mercury returns to this degree on the forward journey. 
This doesn’t mean we have to down pens and thinking while we wait for this time to be over.  Rather, it calls us to move forward with any plans, communications, thinking with respect to social and business networking as well as travel plans. 
Mercury is our mind manager and therefore needs clarity to be making decisions. At this time with Venus being a major player in revamping our heart energy, we’re gaining clarity with our heart’s desire.  During this time we need to aligning heart and mind so we can make decisions which will access our heart’s desires...Aries brief! If it doesn’t excite you then think again. 
10th April:  Mercury stations retrograde at 4 degrees Taurus
21st April:  Mercury retrogrades into Aries
4th May:  Mercury stations direct at 24 degrees Aries
21st May:  Mercury leaves shadow


28th March:  New Moon in Aries at 7 degrees 37 Aries at 1.57 pm AEDT
A New Moon:  The power of the fiery ‘I am’ erupts!  It’s Team Aries!

A powerful message delivered at this New Moon in Aries.  It’s not just the beginning of the lunar Astrological year.  It’s a line up that’s guaranteed to push the starter button on our own personal rocket ship!  Our fuel is the spirit of fire!

Team Aries breaks us in to the New Year with plenty of rocket fuel!

With the New Moon and Sun aligned at 7 degrees Aries, Venus just a couple of degrees away as well as Mercury, Uranus and Eris all together in Aries, they’re guaranteed to ignite our fire, drive, passion and give us a huge boost to our sense of self, our confidence and courage!  Be of good faith and get onto your own personal rocket!


Guaranteed to take your breath away:  Mercury snuggling with Uranus/Eris!
Mercury is our mind manager, also ruler of our respiratory and nervous systems. 
He comes into connection with Uranus and Eris the day before the New Moon reconnecting and rewiring our mental systems to the higher consciousness of Uranus/Eris with a lightning strike kickstart to our electrical systems which promises to uplift consciousness to a whole new level.

Mercury’s role at the New Moon:  Big mind clearance and shift!
At the New Moon he’s moved on just 2 degrees past these two awakeners but is very much part of our New Moon, New lunar energies setting the pace for ongoing fiery, sudden and dramatic changes in relation to our thinking, mindsets and belief systems.


Aries fire:  Just get on and do it!  Adventure, excitement and the joy of new directions is taking us through the roof of old consciousness! Courage!
If we’re locked into a rut, we’re going to be shifted out of it and thrust into sudden changes in direction.  If our current direction is not feeding the fire and passion within then prepare for the realisation that life at present is not ‘enough’. Aries is the ruler of our fiery masculine energy which wants action and fast so whatever’s languishing within us is going to be released as our fire and drive takes hold of hearts and minds. 

Venus in Aries at the New Moon is a key player in the planetary line up:  
Up close and personal to the New Moon/Sun at 3 degrees Aries!
Talking of hearts, Venus our heart energy is on her trek through Aries in retrograde motion retrieving lost, disowned and fragmented pieces from our being.  If some part of you has been ignored when it is vital for your growth to wholeness then trust Venus to find it in her search and discovery mission.  In Aries, she will stop at nothing to help us find ourselves. 
Venus is definitely getting a prime role in this new moon energy being in such close proximity to the moon and sun at this time.  It’s heart opening time to let in the love, break down any walls of resistance that have been holding you back from the full experience of divine love for self first.  Being in Aries we’re very much focussed on recovering all of ourselves in the light of love, acceptance and forgiveness.


Other significant planetary energies at the New Moon:
Mars and Neptune in harmony...upliftment in consciousness of our physical body and masculine warrior energy!
Effective from 26th to 29th March:  Exact on 28th March
Mars, our masculine ruler and ruler of our physical body is speaking harmoniously with Neptune in Pisces, our higher spiritual consciousness.  Mars is our masculine warrior energy who traditionally has gone out to fight the world to be a winner.  

At present he is travelling through Taurus, on R & R from all the fired up energies.  Mind you, we have plenty of fired up energy without Mars in full fighting mode.  Taurus is Mother Earth energy, offering our physical bodies and fighting warrior some respite from the fray.  So, whatever fighting we’re experiencing we can put down to the mind/heart energies and to accepting who we are fully and completely.

Jupiter in square/challenge to Pluto at 19 degrees Libra/Capricorn:  Karmic justice, rebalancing, release of the burdens of the past!

The scales of karmic justice are working full time to release the karmic burdens we’ve taken on from the past, the traditions which are being released, revamped and renewed.  Our status quo continues to be challenged in the personal and global arenas.  We’re bringing forward the ‘best’ from the past which offers us a spiritually uplifted perspective whilst letting go those rules, laws, traditions and social mores which have past their use by date.  Everything which is holding us back must go. 


THE SABIAN SYMBOLS:
Breathtaking energies at the New Moon:  Sabian Symbol for the New Moon
The Sabian Symbol for the Sun/Moon meetings seems so appropriate for the New Moon energies with the breathtaking challenges and opportunities presenting as we release the threads of connection to those primal deep seated energies which have held us in a ‘comfort’ zone of the old order.

Aries 8
A WOMAN'S HAT WITH STREAMERS BLOWN BY THE EAST WIND
Allow traditional wisdom to lead you to new and different solutions, but be wary of acting superficially. In deeper, spiritual messages you are afforded protection from the more disturbing elements of situations. Shifts of mind and attitude may happen as a result, indeed, they may need to happen. You may need to adjust continually to outside forces, but you have the ability to be adaptable, so hang onto your center and what anchors you and try not to get blown off-course. Attuning oneself through eastern philosophies. Protective guidance. Balloons and hot air ballooning. The winds of time and change. Being aware of shifts in the wind. 
1st April:  Mercury enters Taurus at 4.31 am AEDT
Time for some R & R for our mind energy!
Until 21st April when it retrogrades into Aries
Slowing mentally to smell the flowers, earth the mind!

Just after Mercury enters shadow retrograde and 2 days after we greet the New Moon in Aries, we find our fleet footed messenger is brought into a slower pace with his entry into earthy Taurus.  This feels like a welcome relief from all the radical fire energies of Aries which have been activating our mental bodies and nervous systems sometimes 24/7! 


Time for some R& R for our mental operating systems!
Art:  Tanya Torres
We’re still moving forward but at a more leisurely pace which will give us time to check our compass, life direction, take stock of our physical situation on earth with respect to the beauty and abundance offered by Mother Earth. 

Plug in to the heart of Mother Earth: 
Taurus is ruled by Venus and is very much about connecting our hearts into the heart of mother earth and opening to receive her gift of an abundant life.  Of course, we need to have reached a readiness to accept our entitlement to an abundant life and that’s all about self-love and the feeling of worthiness.  If we’ve done the spiritual growth with all the Aries energies, we are certainly coming into acceptance of divine reunion with ourselves and with our place on earth.

We’re grabbing or have grabbed the tiger by the tail and the tiger is holding us with love...fears faced with courage, strength and absolute faith in the power of divine spirit which is filling us with the light of new consciousness!

The Aries Sun has been filling us with these energies along with Mercury, Venus and of course Uranus/Eris, all travelling through the sign of the warrior.  We’re transforming the fighting warrior of the past into the spiritual warrior who’s focus is the ‘battle’ with the self, releasing conflict from within for us to come to peace with ourselves and our lives and to trust ourselves fully and completely as divine spirit. 


Love and blessings to us all as we take the rainbow bridge to higher consciousness!

From the Equinox to the New Moon in Aries 28th March 2017


Hi everyone!

Crossing the bridge to higher consciousness!
This is a retrospective of what's been happening in this past week challenging us to step into a higher consciousness.  I'm preparing an update for the New Moon in Aries coming in on 28th March but am posting this in the belief that many of you out there who are not on my mailing list or my facebook page may be feeling the pinch and pressure at this time.

It's been a rough couple of days for those of us on the leading edge of breaking the consciousness barrier as we've been negotiating a challenging bridge from the old to the new paradigm.
We can thank Mercury mind manager, Pluto and Jupiter for bringing us to this reckoning,confrontation, 'judgement' day which has brought many of us to our knees. These challenging energies are now dissipating today as the worst of this one has temporarily alleviated. 
However, I imagine that these energies pushed many to take a leap of faith, make some 'hard' decisions which will take us forward with a whole new vision. It may not be fully clear but once our decision is made and we set our intent to live in a different reality beyond 3D limitation, the way forward opens.

What's been happening:
I don't know about others but this past week I feel like I've been hanging by a thread. Or is it a 'backs to the wall' moment.

I'm putting it down to Mercury, our mind manager moving into challenge with Pluto in Capricorn forcing us to drop a whole lot of mindsets and beliefs about the old economic paradigm.

Jupiter in Libra moved into the picture over the past 24 hours with Mercury and Pluto calling us into expansion and growth through balancing the karmic records. That means dropping the karmic burdens and responsibilities which are weighing us down and holding us back from growth and expansion.

If ever there was a time to break out of the old paradigm it's when you're hanging by a thread, back to the wall, nowhere to go.

With Mercury in Aries a key player in this T-square line-up, our key to the door of liberation is harnessing our higher mind power and taking the higher path of authority to run our lives without the baggage and burdens from other times, places, people and traditions.


I have no doubt that many of us are being challenged by letting go some old paradigms of mindsets, commerce, big money, government. We're being invited to cross the interdimensional bridge which offers a release of karmic burdens and upliftment into a a consciousness which is above and beyond our present realities.

It's all happening and some of us on that leading edge, cliff edge are pushing the boundaries of our existence in leaps of faith stepping through an interdimensional doorway to a more evolved way of living on this planet.
As I hold myself in the light of divine faith in higher consciousness, i hold those working with these energies. 

When there is nowhere left to find help on earth we are called to look to dimensions beyond earth. We will go on!

Good message for the planetary challenges of Mercury in Aries challenging Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter in Libra from Orin and Daben.
From Orin:
'Detachment is also important. Detachment is a mental letting-go, just as surrender is an emotional letting-go. If you feel you cannot live without something, that your well-being is dependent upon your having it, you actually repel what you desire. When there is no neediness attached to having what you want, you can create it much more easily. It has been said that you cannot have something until you do not need it. This is not the same as not wanting it. Let go of what you have asked for completely. Trust that whatever comes will serve you and be for your highest good, even if you do not understand why at the moment.'
Creating Money: Attracting Abundance
From Orin and Daben

Resolving mindsets of duality:
When you're in two minds you know that there are 'voices' coming from other times, places, people and beliefs who are resistant to new ways of thinking and sitting whispering into our ear saying 'You can't do it', 'It's not possible', It's never worked before' ranting on their wavelength with all the negatives about why you can't move forward and leap into new ways of being.
We have to consciously shut them up, close them down, reassure them, command them to go all the while holding ourselves in the light of divine will, divine truth and the violet flame of transmutation, forgiveness and freedom.
At the same time we need to reaffirm our commitment to ourselves, our true self, passions, desires, divinity and pathway forward. New energies come in when we welcome them and dissolve the barriers to our thinking.
Promise of an influx of heart light today: A reboot to love!

25th March:  Sun meets Venus at 4 degrees 57 Aries at 9.17 pm AEDT
Effective 25th to 26th March
Sun and Venus reboot of our heart energy: Lightening up!
What a blessing is this wonderful energy coming in today, healing up the wounds that have been opened up these past couple of days. It's all happening in the sign of Aries, our 'I am' energy which offers us a loving acceptance of all that we are, a release of the self-criticisms and judgements which have kept us in the old energies of the dominant world paradigm.
Time to celebrate ourselves, our power and authority as spiritual beings living an earthly existence. The fire of passion, desire, excitement and adventure is pulling us out of the mire of self-pity, victim consciousness or any feelings of 'less than' or unworthiness.

Choose love, joy, optimism and faith in self today and ride this reboot of our heart energy as we head towards the New Moon in Aries on 28th March.

The Sabian Symbol for this grand meeting of the Sun and Venus today: 
 Sun @ Aries 5
A WHITE TRIANGLE IS SEEN; IT HAS GOLDEN WINGS
This Symbol shows the ability to be able to lift yourself above the ordinary, using your natural gifts to find a new perspective, an uplifted view; to expand your awareness. This can picture an eagerness for spiritual integration or a capacity to escape from reality. Try to ground the vision, while allowing yourself the free flight of vision. This Symbol often brings a strong spiritual nature that expresses itself through purity of thought and insight. Inspiration and zeal. Feeling elevated and inspired through spiritual or creative efforts. Flying to a greater perspective. Self transcendence. Angels and their messages.

27th March:  Mercury meets Uranus
Effective from 26th to 27th march
A reboot of our mind power!
Lightning flash insights and realisations coming through as Mercury, our mind manager meets with the higher mental consciousness of Uranus.  Talk about a clearing of energies as we move through the dark of the moon in readiness for the New Moon on 28th March.

New original solutions being offered:  Claiming our distinctive quirky selves!Be open, be ready to receive the knowledge of the higher path offering solutions and possible all manner of resolution to current conflicts in our minds and in our lives. 

Watch out for the 'nervous nellie' which could come in as Mercury rules the nervous system, respiratory system as well as our mind energy and mental body.  Uranus rules our neuralgic system so we need to be vigilant that any resistant energies arising in our bodies may manifest in these areas.  

Both planets are meeting in the sign of Aries which rules the head so keep focussed on the here and now as this kind of mental distraction can cause us to switch off and bring about 'accidents'.  Aries as ruler of our physical body can be prone to accidents anyway so remain mindful.

Upcoming Dates:

11th April:  Full Moon in Libra
 
That’s it folks!
 
Hugs all around!  The tiger of strength is with us!

We’re in the dark of the moon now so it’s release time, letting go the lunar energies of the past Pisces month.  We’ve already stepped into the solar new year of Aries at the Equinox.  The New Moon in Aries ushers in the lunar new year in Aries.  So, wash away the tears, open the hearts and ready ourselves for a further leap of faith into the New Moon ‘I am’ energy where we own all that we are inside and out!
 
Love and blessings to us all as we open our hearts, release old pains and prepare for a divine reunion with ourselves!

20th March 2017 Sun enters Aries

 
Hi everyone!
 
We’re moving out of the mists of the Piscean Sun and the forests of the Virgo Full Moon.  It’s a post full moon recovery which is due to take a bit of a leap forward as the Sun moves into Aries on the 20th March, the Equinox.
 
Keeping our heads above water as we swim to shore:
We may well wonder why we’re still wandering in the mists of time looking for safe refuge. A number of planetary aspects this week are keeping us submerged in the healing waters of the Pisces ocean of the collective unconscious.
 
Gathering the fragments of our heart:  Big healing!
Even though our heads are now above water in the fiery Aries energy, we have been inundated with the emotional energies of our heart healing thanks to Venus’ retrograde journey taking us back over our life to collect those fragmented aspects of ourselves.  We’ve been reclaiming the unloved parts of ourselves which were chipped off by people, places, experiences and relationships in our lives.
 
Heads fired with the Aries desires while bodies clear the emotional karma:
We may feel we have the mental desire but we’re being healed from the inside out as Venus continues her retrograde journey in the Aries energy of ‘finding our true selves’ and accepting ourselves ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’.  Of course these are all judgements coming from societal conditioning but nevertheless we all carry them within us. 
 
 
What’s been happening this past week:
15th March: Sun met Chiron at 1.41 pm AEDT
Effective from 14th to 16th March
24 degrees Pisces
A huge healing rebirth at this time as the light of the Sun, our most powerful planetary energy brings light to the spiritual wounds held in planet earth, in the collective unconscious and in the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies of every one of us.

It's an emotional release of great magnitude so letting the emotions flow is our key healing energy whether we cry them out, physically exercise them out, play an instrument, sing, paint, dance or maybe just sneeze them out of the system!

We're clearing huge history at the moment from all the cell memories and ancestral DNA. It's not just about you. If the physical body is being challenged especially in the systems of elimination, respiratory or digestive stay focussed on releasing the emotions somehow.

There's big wallops of grief, despair, exhaustion, fear, pain and suffering being freed and many of us are bearing the brunt of this release. More love to us all as we hold to the power of love and the trust that we can make a difference.

The world weather at the moment seems filled with many messages of unusual amounts of water, waves, rain and floods. The frozen energies of snow and ice are indicative of emotions to be released and freed.

The Sabian symbol for this degree is:
Pisces 25 The Purging of the Priesthood  www.sabiansymbols.com

What’s coming in:  Fast track to the Equinox!

We’ve already had a shifting week of energies turning us every which way since the Full Moon.  It really feels like we’re fast tracking for the Equinox when the movement of the Sun marks the beginning of the solar astrological year.

Quotes from Lauren Gorgo’s 5D message of 18th February:

‘Choosing New Realities: the karmic template release’

http://thinkwithyourheart.com/category/new-articles-category/

1. Since ascension hit the physical realm (and body) we have been asked over and again to put all these “higher concepts” into real life…and no doubt shi(f)t is gettin’ really REAL. We are having to bring the physical f-u-l-l-y on board with our galactic level Selves and that means 1) letting go of ALL 3D world safety nets (cue really raw feelings of vulnerability and a plethora of security fears) so that we are ready and able to 2) be-lie-ve the impossible into BEing.
It’s one thing to accept the possibility of ascension as an idea, theory, or even be-lie-f, quite another to stake your whole (3D) life upon it….especially when so many around us are now going thru really tumultuous times.  But now more than ever it is imperative that we are ALL IN…that we keep all hands, feet, legs and arms inside our merkaba vehicle at all times…that we choose ourSelves first…that we maintain our center…that we stay in our own (vibrational) lane…that we remain anchored in our own heart for truth. This is no easy task juxtaposed against a world (and loved ones) who are beginning to unravel.
2.  Realistically it looks like (for those embodying) we have until the equinox to continue resolving our karmic contracts…beyond the equinox (April-May) I am seeing a different “phase” emerge, tho not with any kind of clarity yet. Even still, and especially before we enter the upcoming eclipse, it’s important that we really examine the places where we are still holding on/holding back…where we still feel victimized or powerless to change…where limiting be-lie-fs still reign…where fear/woundedness is still impeding our efforts to cross over into the new world completely.
18th March:  Sun in challenge to Saturn at 27 degrees Pisces/Sagittarius at 8.48 am AEDT
Effective from 17th to 19th March AEDT

 
Sink or swim: 
The Sun in Pisces is lifting us in the oceans of emotion emanating from the collective unconscious and shining its light into every aspect of our being calling us to lift our game transforming the small consciousness of our current 3D world of the emotional whirlpool into an elevated perspective of the big picture.

With Chiron, ruler of our spiritual wounds still swimming close to the Sun at 24 degrees Pisces, the message is clear...let the light of divine truth clear the old karmic and ancestral wounds held in our bodies. 
  


Neptune the lifeguard:  Scanning the ocean for swimmers in danger of drowning!
Neptune continues to travel in Team Pisces calling us to elevate our whole being to another dimension. Neptune has a long term commitment to the search and rescue mission so we need to know the higher perspective is there for us and be prepared to raise our hand above the water when we need upliftment and divine salvation.  Our inner Neptune watches and waits.

We need to acknowledge a need for assistance in raising our emotional vibration!  Call Neptune!




Taking our spiritual authority in our lives:  
Saturn asks us to drop the baggage of those energies which have had a hold on our lives!
Saturn, Lord of Karma and representative of our potential for our inner authority, is calling us to take charge of our lives in terms of our spiritual authority, accessing the wisdom and higher consciousness of Sagittarius.

Dropping the old mindsets of the ‘authorities’ of past consciousness:
With these two energies in square to each other we’re being called to the higher spiritual and emotional consciousness, to lift ourselves out of the whirlpool of emotional overwhelm, the energy of 3D consciousness and of most of our planet by accessing the authority of our 5D consciousness.

We deconstruct the old false paradigms/belief systems:  
We choose the foundation of the new paradigm!
Saturn is the builder offering all the support we need in building our new paradigm of higher consciousness, with foundations of divine truth and divine law beyond the 3D world of inequity.  The tower card is a message of the inner purification that takes place when we choose to let go of beliefs which are no longer supporting our growth.  It is our heart and soul energy which is driving the destruction and the reconstruction.  All else follows. 


18th March:  Mercury meets retrograde Venus at 9 degrees 05 Aries at 11.27 pm AEDT
Effective:  18th to 19th March
Rebirth of heart and mind connection:   
Heart/mind reunion which brings greater clarity!
Mercury our mind manager meets with retrograde Venus who’s retracing her life collecting all those broken heart fragments of self.  It’s an interesting rebirth of the heart/mind connection in the sign of our essential self.

Mercury our mind manager recovering from emotional overwhelm!  Waiting for us!
Even more significant is Mercury meeting Venus on Venus’ retrograde journey reclaiming lost parts of our heart which have been split off in past traumas. Mercury mind manager has been trying to get a grip on this crazy Venus retrograde vehicle which seems to be all over the place with mixed messages as the old emotions and pains and hurts resurface.


Pieces of eight, our golden gifts await our reclamation:  Journey to the centre of our being!
However, amongst the painful pieces we’re finding fragments of golden heart energy, pieces of eight shining in their light waiting for us to reclaim this inner treasure of hopes, dreams, discarded passions and loves in our life.  Discarded in disappointment, regret or disillusionment, they’re waiting for our desire to recapture the joy of life, the joy of being who we are and what turns us on to the celebration of life.  Our inner treasure awaits!


20th March:  Sun enters Aries at 9.29 pm AEDT
Engines firing and primed ready to go!
Until 19th April
Fired ready for action:  Uh oh...could be a little tricky!
When the Sun enters Aries our spirit wants to get up and running.  It’s an energy that wants us to take physical action powered by our fire.  It’s no accident that the ram is Aries symbol.
 
Breaking out of the quagmire:  The burning torch of liberation!
The Aries Sun is going to fire us up to break through all the waterlogged emotions which have been inundating us these past weeks. It’s not entirely over and done with just yet as we have a couple of energies which are slowing us a little. 
 
Delaying and holding energies which provide risk management:
Mars, ruler of Aries and a mover/shaker of the first order is still moving slowly through Taurus, an earth energy that wants Mars to slow down and smell the flowers. He’ll be there until 21st April.
 
Mercury, our other main mover/shaker is in the sign of fast moving Aries but is about to enter shadow retrograde moving into retrograde in early April.Venus of course has a way to go on her retrograde journey. She turns direct 15th April in the later degrees of Pisces.
 
Don’t be disheartened at these ‘brakes’ on our energies as we need to recognise that the brakes are a necessary safeguard to make sure we get it right.  They are the universe’s risk management strategies!

So what do we do with the torch of liberation?
Art:  Vladimir Kush
Aries wants physical action:  We’re called to harness this physical drive in the most productive way!
Aries is our fire and drive and wants to take the physical actions empowered by this fire and drive.  We’re wanting action but may feel a little hamstrung by an unsure and reluctant heart energy that isn’t too sure about clear direction.
 
Physically step by step to fulfilling our physical desires:
Our physical energy in Taurus is asking us to ground our energies in slow, steady steps grounding our desires in the Taurean energy of physical abundance.  Containment of our physical energies is helping to focus on what will be bring the greatest return with the least effort in our physical lives.  This is the art of manifesting from the energetic field of our consciousness...the art of allowing.
 
Mentally Mercury, our mind manager is still up and active travelling through Aries. 
He doesn’t enter shadow until 27th March so we’ve got a good week of mental focus and fire driving us.  He doesn’t actually enter Mercury retrograde until 9th April so we have some time to get some planning done and sort out some of our fiery desires until all that happens.
 
The bottom line is allowing the fiery Sun energy to carry us forward without getting out ahead of ourselves.  That can happen with Mercury in Aries in active mode.  Our hearts are our crosschecking energy keeping us aligned with our emotional truth!  Trust!  Accept all our ‘pieces of eight’ inner treasure and let them be the guiding light to access our inner joy and next step.
Be open to those old projects, hopes, dreams. loves and lovers reappearing from out of the past. 
 
 
Doorway to the new astrological year:  The Equinox portal!
The entry of the Sun into Aries marks the beginning of our astrological year and the March Equinox, a portal of energy where the energies are held in balance with an opportunity to access the balancing forces in the earthly and solar realm. The moment that the Sun enters Aries is the Equinox.
 
The Equinox:  A portal of consciousness!  Honoring the Sun!
In the Southern Hemisphere known as Autumn Equinox.
In the Northern Hemisphere known as Vernal Equinox and marks the official beginning of Spring
 
The traditions associated with spiritual growth towards enlightenment have been connected to the movements of the Sun, Moon and planets and celebrated accordingly.  These traditions come from ancient peoples who built and created sacred places across the earth honouring the planetary energies. 
 
The Sun and its movement across the skies bringing changes to the seasons and marking times of growth and times of stillness and fallow fields in agriculture were reflected in understandings held by the ancient people who aligned themselves to these movements. 
 
They aligned their lives, their growth and prosperity to the movement of the Sun and the Moon and celestial bodies.  Their own spiritual growth and expansion was a reflection of these cosmic shifts and the power of their influence on the earth. They had sacred rituals which honoured these sources of life, of growth and change.

Astronomical information:
Not Entirely Equal Day & Night
On the equinoxes the Sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal – but not quite.
The March equinox marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north and vice versa in September.
 
 
The Sabian Symbol for the first degree of Aries is so significant as connection to the seal represents ‘homecoming’.  We’re coming home to ourselves.
If you’ve read ‘Women Who Run with the Wolves’ and/or seen the movie ‘Secret of Roan Inish’ you’ll get the picture.

Aries 1
A WOMAN HAS RISEN OUT OF THE OCEAN, A SEAL IS EMBRACING HER
This degree is the beginning of the zodiac where the old gets left behind and a new understanding and awareness comes to light. Something new is emerging and it needs to be welcomed and nurtured. This is the beginning of a whole new impulse, creative and responsive. There's an emergence of a whole new potentiality. Resist looking back to outgrown and unsatisfactory conditions in your life as they can pull you back to old and unrewarding ways of being. This is also about finding your voice and your feet. Beginnings. Emergence of the feminine into concrete manifestation. Cycles beginning. The beginning of spring or autumn. Confidence in a whole new arena of being. Shedding old skins. 

The Caution: Using the masculine drive to overshadow the emotions. Refusing to move into a new state of being because one is held back by previous life conditions.


25th March:  Sun meets/conjoins Venus retrograde at 4 degrees 57 Aries ...kickstarting our hearts into the light!
Just a bit of a heads up for this magical connection offering a huge heart clearance as the Sun shines its light into the deepest recesses of our heart. We’re clearing up so much old heart pain, uncovering wounds that have been deeply hidden in our psyche which have been preventing our light shining through to the outer world.

It’s been like a thick mist, a grey veil taking the shine off our hearts and keeping us in a ‘less than’ state of being. Having come through the rebirthing of our ‘I am’ energies at the Equinox we are now ready to be ourselves in a whole new way.  Venus still has some more to do on her retrograde journey which will help us take us back a short way into the Pisces collective unconscious when we can dip our toes in to find and clear those energies which are not of our essence.

As we move through the Equinox doorway we’re on our way to the new moon in Aries on 28th March which offers us a fresh start to the lunar astrological year as Aries is the beginning of the zodiacal calendar.
 
Hugs all around!
 
All of us beings are swimming with our heads held high above the waters of planetary emotion.  We just need to remember that when we feel ‘overwhelm’ to call on the higher forces of love and light.
 
 
Love and blessings to us all in Team Pisces reaching for the fire and spirit to jet ski ourselves out of the watery emotional cleansing and catapult us into the fire, desire and passion of the Aries Sun.

from the chair...’jetting out of the overwhelm’
 
 




 
It’s all about love
Divine reunion with our ‘I am’
