Hi everyone!
Well we’re finally into 2017 on all levels
now that we’ve stepped through the astrological doorway of the New Moon in
Aries. Seems like we’ve been travelling forever stepping through new doorways,
gateways and crossing bridges into new consciousness.
Of course that’s the nature of life with all its
cycles of growth and expansion followed by death and rebirth. We’re always
being invited to go through new doorways which offer growth and fulfilment. It
is only our own fear of change and disruption to the status quo which holds us
back.
We’re working with the bridges to new
consciousness as the ‘oppositions’ between planets present themselves. It’s the
slower moving planets which really bring up the shifts on the wider perspective
and long term as the faster moving planets meet them. They are the
intersections which bring up new energies, challenges and opportunities. Growth
and change is guaranteed!
April: A retrospective exhibition of
our inner gifts and talents!
This picture captures the essence of April
showing reflections of sunlight and clouds on the water as we take to our cycles
and return to the essence of ourselves which may take us back to the past. The
retrograde planets this month are calling us to slow down, take time out and
tune in to our inner light...our own personal Sun, the truth of our ‘I
am’...empowering!
Slow and steady is the way we go:
Accessing clarity while the fire burns!
This picture may not look like a
fiery Aries Sun as we are under the influence of a number of energies which are
keeping our wild fire in check, in a holding pattern. Venus retrograde, Mercury
about to go retrograde on 10th and already in shadow, Saturn taking us on the
inner retrograde journey from 6th to reclaim our authority and Pluto turning
retrograde on 20th April. Jupiter continues his retrograde in Libra. The inner
exploration is on! The labyrinths call! Let’s not forget Mars, one of our
movers/shakers along with Mercury, is trekking through the fields of flowers
learning to walk the talk of divine abundance in the sign of Taurus, Mother
Earth.
Venus retrograde taking us
into the centre of our heart fire:
Of course Venus has been in Aries but in
retrograde motion and moving to watery, emotional Pisces this week for the next
couple of weeks so we have been experiencing a softening of our heart energy
with the inner journey to recover our joy of life and the fullness of love for
ourselves on all levels of our being.
We are building the inner firelight of our
heart energy as Venus asks us to find ‘the lover’ inside. We’re clearing
impurities, painful memories and negative recollections which have kept our
spirit dampened down with doubts and insecurities from other times, places,
people and experiences. These are the places where we gave away our heart energy
and lost our fire power. We’re now stoking the fire within to return to life in
a new form.
3rd April:
Venus enters Pisces in retrograde motion at 10.25 am
AEST
Oh sweet love!
Until 15th April when it
turns direct at 26 degrees Pisces
20th April: Venus enters
Aries direct
Into the ocean of unconditional love:
Venus is awash in a sea of pink unconditional
love! She’s not moving far from this delicious feeling at the centre of her
being as she luxuriates in the ocean of divine love. That’s the potential of
Venus moving back into Pisces for just a few weeks as she helps us recover bits
of heart energy, fragments which have split off in our immersion in the
collective unconscious.
Into the swimsuit of
courageous love: Strip off and dive in!
Why courage you may ask? Well we’re being
called to strip away all those walls, barriers and defences which keep us from a
full loving experience...of ourselves and of others. How much do you want a
full experience of love? Our willingness to drop the layers of protection will
open the doors of a divine love which says 'the sky's the limit!'.
All in the same boat, same
ocean:
You may think that there are people you just
can’t bring yourself to love but you can choose to accept that we’re all in the
same boat, the same ocean whether we like it or not. Our choice comes from a
place of desiring the fullness of a loving life without the thorns and barriers
which block us.
Time to drop the emotional baggage:
Just keep choosing love!
We have about 3 weeks to let go of all the
emotional burdens we’ve picked up in the ocean which are not supporting our
essential selves. As we purify emotionally of all the excess we’ve taken on
from family, society and the collective emotional bank of ‘soap opera’ and old
dramas we find our heart!
Our heart has been overwhelmed by the intake
from not just our world today but the history of emotional responses deriving
from times without the consciousness of a higher, more elevated love. Be not
afraid and drop the veils and walls of resistance to the full experience of
love!
20th April: Venus re-enters Aries
direct!
Discoveries of a new lightness in our
hearts as we turn to move on with our lives renewed and uplifted!
When Venus comes back into Aries she’ll be
moving direct again as she changes direction in just a few weeks. That’s when
we’re going to discover just how much we’ve overloaded that’s just been a whole
lot of baggage that we’ve been carrying without even realising that it was this
baggage that’s been weighing us down and exhausting us.
6th April:
Saturn turns retrograde at 27 degrees 48 Sagittarius at 3.06
pm AEST
Respect!
Until 26th August turns
direct at 21 degrees Sagittarius
Into the galactic labyrinth to find ourselves:
Respect!
Saturn is sitting on the degree of the Galactic
Centre, the black hole at the centre of our Milky Way offering us a galactic
perspective of ourselves and our journey to truth, wisdom and higher
consciousness.
Allowing the Galactic Centre to ‘suck up’ the
old karmic baggage:
The Galactic Centre is distinguished by a super
massive black hole which has such a strong gravity it draws into it space
objects from its near vicinity. It is not a vacuum scientifically speaking.
However, astrologically we can see it as a
strong energy which cannot be resisted by near objects which have lost their
strength and capacity to hold orbit. So let’s allow ourselves to feel the
cosmic pull of the Galactic Centre as Saturn, Lord of Karma stations to turn
retrograde until 26th August.
Time to release the karmic baggage! It’s
as easy as Daisy vacuuming!
Warming ourselves by the light of
our inner authority: Claiming respect! Coming in out of the
cold!
This photo might depict a snow labyrinth but Saturn’s
not out in the cold when we reclaim his energy as the power and authority within
each of us. It’s time to acknowledge our pathway through life and to honour our
journey as spiritual beings of light energy on an earthly journey.
From the Galactic Centre:
Can we get
out of this super black hole with new knowledge? Yes!
Saturn enters his labyrinthine journey through
Sagittarius helping us retrace our steps where we got ‘cold feet’, lost our
inner authority and sacrificed ourselves on the altars of the authorities in our
3D world. Being in Sagittarius our focus is the higher consciousness and
reviewing where we compromised our divine truth for the sake of maintaining our
position in society. Let’s not forget Saturn is tradition, the status quo and
calls us to maintain that while clearing karmic contracts and commissions.
Warming the cold shoulders:
Reviewing,
releasing, reclaiming the fragments where we lost our esteem!
Benchmarks of our world are ever present and
insistent that we comply with both government laws and the ‘hidden’ laws of
society. Success is based on money, status, social position, lifestyle,
geographical location, education, compliance with the dominant ideology in every
aspect of life.
Reclaiming our personal benchmarks for
success: Warming the cold shoulders!
For those of us who have challenged and continue to
challenge the status quo we experience the censure, rejection and disrespect
from the dominant forces in society. We have been given the cold shoulder by
individuals, groups and organisations who have stuck rigidly to the older order
at the expense of growth. Saturn likes tradition but respects growth,
aspiration and taking the steps towards success!
Claiming higher consciousness and our swag
bag of strategies, personal qualities and new insights for plotting our way
forward:

Human law and divine law:
When is it appropriate for us to break human
laws for the sake of justice and divine law? This is one of the current debates
in our world as the powers that be in many different countries seem to be taking
greater liberties from the people in the name of ‘protection’. Are we familiar
with this in stories from history? Yes, we are. If it hadn’t been for many
lawbreakers in the past we wouldn’t have some of our freedoms today. How do we
elevate the consciousness within and without when our lawmakers are stuck in a
third dimensional mindset?
Letting go of the burden of ‘hard work and
struggle’:
Claiming our magic bag of ‘tricks’ our bag of
new pathways guided by our ‘I am’!
As we release the old baggage in this 5
month journey of truth and acknowledgement, we purge ourselves of the outdated
consciousness and gain the insights, the glimpses of a different way of living
which has been our deepest desire. We’re finding creative solutions as we tread
the icy path of the old order. We’ve been out in the cold too long!
Trusting our spirit and instincts within
of our higher consciousness we are learning to negotiate a new way of living and
feeling the success of taking that new pathway.
Short Explanation: Is a
black hole a giant cosmic vacuum cleaner?

Symbol degree for Saturn as he stations retrograde: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
Sagittarius
28
A SPLENDIDLY BUILT BRIDGE, A HERITAGE OF UNKNOWN
AGES, STILL SPANS THE BEAUTIFUL AND WILDLY PRIMITIVE STREAM
This Symbol speaks of building bridges
between places, people and events in order to bring them together and to add
cohesion to society. The “Bridge” implies strength, dependability and passage to
other places. The bridge was built many years ago and it presents the ability to
be able to reach back into time, to reflect on what was important then and
what’s important now. Often these values are one and the same. Traditional ways
of approaching things can lead to the best solutions. There is a linking of
people, places and things with clarity. Note: the Galactic Center is moving onto
this degree. We need to act as bridges in order to truly create! Enduring
elements from past traditions providing a link with the modern. Reverence for
things of worth that stand as reminders of yesterday. Permanence. Getting in
touch.

Hugs all around!
Love and blessings to us all as we enter
this month of April with retrograde planets calling for review and
reconsideration of so many aspects of our life.
Our heart energy is a central energy in this
whole month as it carries within it all we need to fire us on once it’s cleared
up past hurts and pains. It’s in our hands and merely asks that we listen to
ourselves and to follow our joy!
Helen
from the chair...on the ship of love
It’s all about love
