30th April 2018 Full Moon in Scorpio

 

Hi everyone!
 
What amazing times we’re in with incredible challenges and opportunities being presented for shifting of gears, perspectives and consciousness. This year has been relentless for us all asking us all the time to maintain hope, focus on and commitment to the ideal of manifesting divine life on this planet. 
 
We’re growing stronger all the time:  Crusaders of energetic change!
We’ve been given moments of great joy and blessings in our personal lives whilst we observe the world stage and our place in the great scheme of things. New babies seem to be everywhere and new babies give hope and joy, a testament to our faith in life on earth.  Just one of many indicators!
 
Keeping the focus, maintaining the commitment:  Strength and courage!
As we grow stronger in our focus on what’s good in our lives and enact our creative spirit in bringing in the joy of life to our hearts, we’re healing history, the history of this planet we all carry in our beings. 
 
Living the divine life every day:  Clarity and focus!
Whatever we’re dealing with in our everyday lives, the commitment to focussing on what we desire in the deepest part of our being is what’s important.  And we need clarity for that, so clearing the memory banks is essential to restore our vital essence of divine truth and love.
What’s been happening:
The Sun is in Taurus holding us for the past week as we worked through some dramatic reboots of consciousness.  If you felt rocked by situations coming to a head during this past week, we can thank the meeting of Mars, Pluto and Black Moon Lilith for giving us a foretaste of the ‘Scorpio Full Moon’ experience.
This created a major ‘letting go’ clearing a heap of energy out of the way as we headed towards the Full Moon. So if you’ve had a big explosive situation in your life or within your own psyche, know that you’re not alone.
 
Reboot of the masculine warrior! Mars met with Pluto and Black Moon Lilith!21 degrees Capricorn Exact 9.00 pm AEST  Effective 24th to 28th April

A magnificent breakthrough of volcanic proportions as our masculine warrior of fire meets with Pluto, Lord of the Underworld in the sign of Capricorn. We're atop the Capricorn mountain and/or deep within its volcanic centre.  With the shadow moon ‘Black Moon Lilith’ and the asteroid Aphrodite on the same degree, the divine feminine is very much present in this reboot.  It is about love.
 
A reboot of our masculine warrior consciousness!
Planets meeting is a reboot of consciousness and the reboot is focussed on our fire, drive and physical bodies. What a magnificent gift as we head towards the Scorpio Full Moon on 30th April. Talk about clearing out the old ways, the 'dead wood', the dross, the path of fighting, conflict and war within and without. What an opportunity!

A new chapter, a fresh start:  Laying down the weapons of war!
Welcome this fresh start which will ignite our spirit of adventure and our capacity to back ourselves as we break down the barriers of resistance within the old patriarchal structures. No, we don't have to take to the streets with banners and protests. It's an inside job setting us up for the most dramatic full moon of our astrological year.

Meanwhile, Mercury squaring off to Saturn added to the whole Mars reboot!
Mercury, our mind manager in Aries squaring off to Saturn in Capricorn rams home the message of the higher pathway of consciousness. Be open to messages about our divine authority within and our higher calling to the divine mind.
9 degrees Aries/Capricorn Effective 24th to 27th Exact 26th AEST

In retrospect:  Manifestation of these aspects on the world stage!
Korean leaders meet and agree to nuclear disarmament

Full Moon in Scorpio approaching!
Warning...toxic releases, spitting of dummies and projectile vomiting as the big release process triggered by the Mars/Pluto/Black Moon Lilith carries us towards the big Scorpio 'let go'! Be alert, stay out of the firing line, own your stuff and keep clear of the emotional release from the masses. This energy is infectious as the earth percolates in humanity's bubble of unresolved emotions.

This too shall pass as we look up, raise our vision, trust, accept and surrender. When anger, fear or sorrow arises we need to consciously choose love. It's all in the intent.



30th April 2018:
10.58 am AEST Full Moon 9 degrees 39 minutes Scorpio
’Death becomes us’

This is it! 
The biggest life after death experience for the ‘full moon calendar’ year.  Scorpio takes no prisoners.  Just demands we die to the toxic elements clogging up our lives and brings total release if we're willing and open to change and transformation.
 
Divine will and planetary evolution is in play!  Just do it!
And this one is a sure fire full moon as it squares off to the planetary nodes in Leo/Aquarius.  When the planetary nodes are in play the message is ‘You WILL align with the evolution of consciousness on the planet.  Squares are challenges in a way as they call us to break through impasses blocking our progress.
 
Sun in Taurus opposite Moon in Scorpio:
Taurus and Scorpio, like Leo and Aquarius,  are both fixed signs which means we can experience more resistance when working with these energies.  However, fixed signs, like squares and oppositions are the energies we need to challenge us, to bring to light impediments to our progress and to make incredible progress in our growth and expansion of consciousness and therefore in our lives on earth.
 
Backs to the wall:  A call to total surrender!  


Hand over all the toxic baggage!
Fixed signs, squares and oppositions bring us to the  feeling that our ‘backs are to the wall’, total surrender and there’s nothing to do but come charging out of our ‘muggle’ closet with all guns blazing with determination, willpower and focus.  

When we bite the bullet of the fixed signs we access a strength and courage hidden deep within us, resources that are not evident until a crisis, a turning point arrives.
 
We’re raising the ‘dead’ and releasing the trapped souls of other times and places:  Into the graveyard everyone!
Full Moons are turning points, challenges to us all to face the deep subconscious energies which emerge like gremlins at Full Moon time.  The Scorpio full Moon takes us to the graveyard, to plough up those discontented ghosts buried within us and within the earth. The memory banks are open and asking for acknowledgement and release.  Feel the emotions and let go!
 
Follow the GPS guide to love:  
Transmutation, forgiveness, accepting and surrender it all!
If we keep stuffing down our emotions then the problem continues so finding a safe way to release our pain, anger, grief and suffering is the key to negotiating the Full Moon release.  If we choose to take ourselves into an emotionally vulnerable situation then we need to take care of ourselves.  There’s no right or wrong way to do things but taking care of ourselves with loving acceptance is a good GPS guidance indicator.
 
 
Saturn, Lord of Karma a player at this full Moon:  
Karmic release on offer as we open ourselves and surrender all the old karmic burdens!
Art Tran Nguyen
Saturn is in a flowing harmonious trine to the Taurus Sun as well as a positive sextile connection to the Full Moon at this time which indicates major karmic healing is being offered to us all if we are open and ready to receive, open and ready to let the unresolved toxic energies leave our energetic being.
 
Pack it up, pack it in:  Choose now and keep choosing every day to close the door on the ‘package deal’, the karmic commitment mystery tour! 
We don’t have to carry the problems of our world on the shoulders.  We don’t have to carry the burdens of our partners, family, friends, loved ones.  Some of us committed to carry our karmic ‘burdens’ and along with that we got the package deal of carrying those unresolved pains for others.  It was part of our soul commitment this lifetime. 
 
It doesn’t mean we won’t be still working with karma and our commitment to the planet, ancestors...whatever.  But how we fulfil our karma is up to us.  And when we’re ready, because it’s all about readiness, we can fulfil such commitments through joy, creative projects and divine upliftment.
 

 
 
Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon: From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
 
Scorpio 10
A FELLOWSHIP SUPPER REUNITES OLD COMRADES
This Symbol shows getting together with people with shared visions and histories which can be very rewarding and renewing. A “Fellowship Supper” can help connect with old friends, or provide a place for meeting new ones. Often with this degree, issues around food come up, whether it’s providing food and drink or sharing it with others. It’s important to find time to socialize with like-minded people as true friendships can come from simple gatherings. Also, there can often be the sense that one’s known people before, on a karmic level, or, stretching back into a past life. True fellowship and fraternity can bring a sweet sense of nostalgia and uplift to each individual's life. Renewed bonds. Feeling like you've known each other before. Reunions and memories. Past life connections. Fated meetings. The Last Supper. Reaching out to others.

Taurus 10
A RED CROSS NURSE WITH WARM SYMPATHY
This Symbol shows caring, sympathy and nursing others so they may find health and comfort. You probably have a lot of work of your own, but you may have to give your time to those needing help first. A great deal of inner healing can be achieved when helping, however, this can be difficult when you have to do too much. You may have to cross over to the ‘dark side’ in order to bring light to situations. Adopt a hands-on attitude when looking after others and ensuring they get their needs met. Compassionate understanding and caring. Breaking down borders between one self and others. Finding reserves of energy to keep going. Giving but also receiving. Healing.

Lyrics:  ‘He aint heavy..’
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Isn't filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

Hugs all around!
 
We’re holding together energetically even as we live across all parts of the world, separated by distance geographically yet united in the commitment to the power of divine love.  I’m talking magical love here as we are all so connected energetically when we are holding to the same vibration.  We don’t even have to talk to each other or meet each other as the invisible thread of unification holds us like the bonded threads of a great new tapestry we’re weaving together.
 
It’s a vision that strengthens us all, even as one of us may fall over, feel they’ve failed or fallen short of their own ideal, we hold them in the knowingness that we are loved as a soul energy that is beyond us and yet within us.
 
Love and blessings to us all as we embrace these wonderful opportunities which are beyond the vision of so many people who are floundering in the fear of the unknown.  We know the unknown, we accept that this is our pathway forward and we break all barriers with the dissolving power of love and forgiveness.
 
I remember this when I am alone and feeling lonely.  We are never alone.  We are travelling this road together and we’re getting stronger every day!

20th April 2018 Sun moves into Taurus, Pluto retrograde, Venus into Gemini

 
Hi everyone!
 
I’ve been unable to get this out to you in time for the arrival of the Sun in Taurus as I’ve been rather waylaid by my physical body, an ‘injury’, old spiritual ‘wound’ that’s needed my undivided attention. More on this below in the Pluto retrograde section.  I’m hopeful that my writing of this today signifies that I’m coming back to life spiritually and I trust physically as I proceed.
 
Goodbye to the Aries Sun:  What a month it’s been!
The picture to the left is a depiction of the last rays of the fiery Aries Sun which brought to culmination a somewhat tumultuous week for many of us.  The Uranus energy that birthed with the New Moon in Aries seemed to send lightning strike energies right through us throwing us off balance. If you have a sensitive nervous constitution you could relate to this.
 
The big turning point:  It’s happening...maintain the faith!
We’re at a very big change point in our lives and most of us don’t actually know what that is but we know we’re kind of floating in a vacuum of what seems like never-ending waiting.  However, we need to remind ourselves that so much is happening energetically which we can’t see manifesting physically.  We need to keep clearing away those energies which are keeping us from divine truth, new renewed vigour and life force and new possibilities.  Being in the void brings us those new doorways as we keep up the letting go of resistance and fighting.

What’s been happening:  
Closing the door on the castle impossible...the old order!
The New Moon in Aries was like a fireworks show which just kept rolling out all week with astrological aspects hitting us and triggering us for the whole week. For those of us heavily involved in the masculine makeover and patriarchal revamp, it’s been intense and growing more intense each day, culminating in the Sun meeting Uranus in Aries on midnight AEST on 19th April, the day before the Sun moved into Taurus.

Shaken up, rattled and ungrounded:  From 17th to 19th April  Sun/Uranus reboot!
It was like a series of reverberations going through our whole being assisted by the intensity of Saturn slowing to a standstill at his turn around point. Let’s remember that Saturn rules the patriarchy, status quo and karma! So many of us were sucked into intense karmic work for this lifetime.  The only way to get through this was just carry on.  No good comes from fighting or complaining but sharing with others on the same ‘brief’ is sometimes good for the soul!

Meanwhile from 17th to 22nd Mars connecting with the shadow moon goddess, Black Moon Lilith, exact on 20th April was adding to the release/reboot of the masculine warrior/dark goddess energy.


Chiron in Aries:  
Guidance into deep healing of the warrior wounds of war and war mongering and conflict!
You can see by all these connections it’s been a full blown Aries, masculine focussed time starting with that dynamic New Moon in Aries accompanied by Chiron, the healer moving into Aries, Saturn stationing retrograde in the sign of the patriarchy, along with Mars, ruler of our masculine warrior meeting Black Moon Lilith!

Chiron, our centaur of healing now in Aries is giving us excellent direction as we venture into the world of our masculine warrior energy, the energy of Mars, God of War!  It’s  time to heal the wounds of war, the wounds of the warriors of war, past, present and future. Time to accept, forgive, release the pain and find deep reunion with our Aries selves...our ‘I am’.
 
This has set the tone for the lunar month until the New Moon in Taurus in mid March.  We’re in the ‘death throes’ of deep archetypal energies which have been keeping us on that path of war and conflict.  Big, big doorways are opening when we’re ready.  Next stop is Full Moon in Scorpio on 30th April.  Now that will be the death knell.

20th April:  Sun into Taurus at 1.12 pm AEST
Heart time, grounding and earthing agitation!
Until 21st May
When the Sun entered Taurus on 20th, we were called to take time out from all the agitated energies, to slow down, earth the agitation and tune into our hearts. 

Mother Earth!
heart beatingTaurus is ruled by Venus and offers us the chance to plug into Mother Earth’s heartbeat.  It connects us to the World Tree both within us and within the planet. It offers divine love in our earthly bodies.

That being said, Taurus energy can put us in touch with our emotions through experiencing these in our physical vessel.
Taurus is a fixed sign and an earth sign so is the most dense of all the zodiac signs.  Tune into the earth for clearing during Taurus solar month.

‘War wounds’/memories arising in the physical body:
With Chiron now in Aries, we may well experience some of our ‘war wounds’ of other times, places and people within our physical body.  We need to be aware that these aches and pains may be physical but also spiritually based.  Doesn’t mean we don’t seek medical advice from a doctor but remember that when we work with the spiritual ‘wound’, we can do much to clear the pain.

Hearts open:  Feeling the love!  Sing, listen to the song of Taurus!
Also worth remembering that the heart energy is to the fore so we may be processing much ‘illness’ through our hearts.  We may need to consciously do this channelling of love into the heart and sending through our bodies.  We are opening to the divine abundance of Taurus and all the joys of living on planet earth. 

Just keep singing:  
We are singing in the healing powers of Mother Earth and divine abundance!  That’s Taurus!
Taurus rules the throat and neck and is very attuned to music, singing, chanting and releasing through the voice and the throat.  This may be especially beneficial as we travel through this solar month.  Listening to music which is heart opening, releases any blocked in emotions will work especially well with our warrior, fighting energies as it softens and comforts.  All is restored, come home!


23rd April:  
Pluto retrograde at 21 degrees 17 Capricorn at 1.26 pm AEST
Until 1st October at 12.03 pm AEST at 18 degrees 45 Capricorn

The transformational journey within!
For the past 5 days I've been brought to a standstill as my physical body said...stop! I've had to put aside my astrology updates whilst I contacted the deep wounds that were crying out for acknowledgement and release.

The body speaks to us:  Are we listening?  Acknowledging?
I've learned long ago that my body always tells me when I need to be still, turn in and speak with what's hurting, what's been buried as traumatic fragments in the cell memories. It's not just about me and this lifetime. We all carry the memories of the ancestors, other realities so we need to reclaim these fragments that have been split off and left in desolation, despair, guilt, shame, failure, doubt, fear, grief.

Until we accept all of ourselves, we sit outside divine love and fulfilment!Sure, there's happy memories but it's the traumatised aspects which hold us back from full acceptance of divine love, divine healing and coming to wholeness. If we truly desire creative fulfilment this lifetime, we need to retrieve the memories and bring them into the light of divine abundance on all levels of our life here and now.

Pluto is our guide:  Embrace the archetypal death energies as he takes us deep into his cave!
Pluto is the dark lord of the underworld and he's in Capricorn, ruler of the status quo, tradition, the patriarchy and success in the world. So if you want that feeling of accessing your divine potential this lifetime, he's our guide into the cave of our subconscious. He rules life, death and rebirth so there's huge potential when we connect to this darkness within.

Pluto meeting Mars:  
A reboot of our warrior selves!  The beginning of a resurrection, restoration to life!
He meets with Mars, our masculine warrior energy, exact in 2 days but happening now working with Chiron now in Aries bringing up the wounds of war. I've been embracing war movies and biographies on line which have been helping those 'memories' of other times re-experience the emotions and bring to the surface of my body the feelings of grief, loss and yes...failure. We all have 'lost the war' some time, somewhere, whether the victors or not. Anzac Day in Australia tomorrow brings this to the fore.

Taking in the stories of war from books, movies:  A way to heal!
I'd really like to avoid war stories of cruelty, genocide and terrible punishment but I cannot when my body needs to live through this to heal. And I choose to heal. We're all now in a position to enact a divine healing of conflict, fighting, judgement and war within as our 'memories' are given permission to emerge, to feel the pain and come back to the fold of divine love and reunion.  I always feel my ‘memories’ are watching these stories as I watch them.

War is still happening on this planet with the threat of extreme ideologies still challenging our own willingness to choose love.
That love starts within, Remember, 'think global, act local'!

Sabian Symbol for Capricorn’s ‘station’:  
This degree carries significance for the retrograde period and aligns with my message above

Capricorn 22
A GENERAL ACCEPTING DEFEAT GRACEFULLY
This Symbol shows being able to see where and when to “Accept” that things are not working and letting go of events or people or thoughts that no longer work for you. There’s times when we realize there is no longer any point in fighting and to ‘win’ in some situations may be impossible. At the time of surrender, it is the valor of the battle and the way you handled it that will be remembered. Sometimes, it is how gracefully you handle defeat that will be the measure. You will go onto other endeavors and win. You don’t always have to “Accept Defeat”: sometimes you have to accept your own victories. Truth of inner worth. Learning that every minor skirmish is not a defeat. Giving up and being willing to start again. Nobility of character. Letting go of the charge around anger.

25th April:  Venus into Gemini at 2.39 am AEST
How high can our hearts fly?
Until 19th May
Venus calls our split minds into divine harmony and union:
Venus, our heart energy, moves into the sign of ‘the twins’, the sign of ‘the lovers’ signifying the divine reunion of our masculine and feminine energies in the Mercury ruled air sign of Gemini. 
 
Flying solo and ‘together’:  United in dual focus for Are we flying solo, in union with our hearts and minds, in union with a divine partner or are we still dealing with the conflicted mental energies which keep us divided and in battle with ourselves? 
 
Set your intent, your GPI:  Divine reunion!
We’re about to find out so set your navigator to flying high into love and reuniting with ourselves first and foremost.  Get your new ‘vehicle’ of love to take you through these next few weeks.
 
Balance and harmony:  Divine partnership!  Twin engined power!
We’ll always be challenged by the search for balance and harmony, for being in the flow and allowing Earth’s rich abundance to fill our lives creatively and joyfully.  Gemini is the sign of that challenge to find balance between our active masculine oriented energy and our ‘passive’/allowing oriented energy.  We need electric and magnetic forces to work in harmony and that’s the brief for this Venus in Gemini time.
 
Bring love into our minds..
and watch our balloons fly, our hopes and dreams take flight!
Mercury rules Gemini and has a capacity for messages from higher consciousness if we but allow our heart energy to come into our crazy, mixed up minds.  They’ve been so bogged down with the old thought processes, mind sets and predictable solutions that we’ve left our imaginations behind.  Get that imagination into its balloon and let’s fly!
We do create our reality and it’s so much easier once we release the old memories of past times and lives.

Big doors closing as we embrace big endings in our lives.  Pluto is helping us to find our what goes so we need to follow his lead as well as Chiron in Aries who’s put a very new canvas in front of us.  Does it mean we’ll be in suffering and pain forever or is this just what we’ve been waiting for...the deep transformational changes of the spiritual wounds of war, conflict and our masculine warrior energies within? 
 
I feel the current energies are offering huge release if we are prepared to fully face up to what is causing any ‘pain’ in our spirit.  It’s not glossing over things pretending we’re ok at the expense of letting ourselves fully feel the pain. 
 
We’ve been in the Pisces ocean of the wounds of the collective unconscious for years and now we’re being activated and aligned in the energies of our divine Aries ‘I am’ presence so it’s all about coming into our own fiery presence without taking to war and conflict, anger or the overpowering of others.
 
On the way to a dynamic Full Moon in Scorpio which promises major endings with the promise of fresh new directions ahead once we embrace the full ‘let go’!
 
Love and blessings to us all as we dance in the light of our combined fire of universal spirit of oneness!

16th April 2018 New Moon in Aries, 15th Aril Mercury direct, 17th April Chiron to Aries, 18th April Saturn retrograde


Hi everyone!
 
We’re travelling under the Aries Sun and even if you feel you’ve been standing still marking time waiting for plans, ideas, dreams and physical changes to eventuate we need to remind ourselves that the energetic changes which have been occurring at a deep level within us are bringing us to the physical reality coming to life.
 
Last week’s post full moon ‘shoot out at the ok corral’:  Getting the shift and drift!
That was quite a Full Moon in Libra that set off all manner of triggering of old wounds within whether you were ‘holding the gun’ or getting the bullets. 
 
It was a huge awakening of close relationships and the patterns in our relations along with a call to own ourselves, let others be who they are and generally clear the way for this incoming new moon in Aries...proud to be me! 
It was a rebalancing and re-setting of how relationships need to be operating if we want to attain our full potential.  I accept all of myself...good, bad and ‘ugly’!
 
We’ve been marking time. clearing and clarifying:
We all know that the physical follows on from the changes we make within, those changes mentally, emotionally and spiritually which re-align us and clear the blockages within.  Mindsets, negative emotions we’ve carried from old conditioning are generally the main blocks which keep us from accessing our deepest desires.
 
Preparing to open ourselves to new directions and life force:
So the massive clearance that’s been going on has been making way for new directions, a spiritual rebirth that will be initiated in the coming weeks of April kicking off with the New Moon in Aries and Mercury stationing direct.
 
Ongoing changes till the end of April:  Stay flexible, alert and pace ourselves!
We’re in for some ongoing change processes right through till the end of April as planets change signs and direction.  Just check the upcoming dates to give you an idea of the next two weeks.  The end of the month culminates in a Full Moon in Scorpio which guarantees a major transformation of the first order! Scorpio, rules life, death, rebirth and transformation. 
 
Physical body:  Astrological rulership of signs and planets relevant to the Libran Full Moon and the New Moon in Aries
I didn't post the info on physical body and the astrological associations for the Full Moon in Libra. This info may alleviate anxieties people may be experiencing in the release process. 
 
For the Libran Moon: Moon brings up memories and the Full Moon a big release!
Libra – kidneys, skin, lumbar region, buttocks
Venus - rules Libra as well as Taurus:
Venus – neck, kidneys, thymus gland, lips, chin, cheeks, palate, eustachian tubes

For the Aries Sun, New Moon in Aries and Mercury in Aries:
Aries – head, face, brain, eyes,

Out of the Mercury labyrinth:  Clearing the mental ‘fluff’ and old constructs!
Mercury’s been taking us over some old territory getting us in touch with who we are, owning who we are and igniting the fire within. 

With all the other aspects and influences impacting us through these past 3 weeks it may have been difficult to get to the bottom line of accepting ‘I’m okay with me, confident, courageous and ready to go forward!’.  We’ve been working through so much mass consciousness and ancestral/karmic ties that it’s taken many of us to the bottom of the barrel.

Kick-starting our fire energy we’re coming back stronger than ever...
Mercury on track, New Moon rebirth and Mars grounding our energies:
However, we are going to come out of all this with so much more clarity we’ve had for quite a while as Mercury stations direct in Aries the day before the New Moon in Aries which is always a fire-starter!  Mercury, our mind manager is clearing the cobwebs mentally. 

Mercury and Mars, our shakers and movers working together:  Grounding the fire!
With Mercury moving forward and Mars now back from his out of bounds data gathering journey to the Capricorn mountains of mystery, our two shakers and movers are ready to carry us forward.  Mars in Capricorn is going to help us feel grounded and temper any wild craziness that may be stimulated by Mercury in Aries daredevil stunts. Mars will keep our Aries Mercury vehicle on the road!

Mercury is the ruler of our mental body, communication, travel and commerce: 
This forward movement accompanied by the New Moon in Aries will give a real boost to our confidence, clarity and help us get started on commercial ventures which take us forward with the fire and passion of our higher Aries consciousness, our ‘I am’ self.


16th April 2018 11.57 am AEST New Moon 26 degrees 2 minutes Aries
Freedom calls!

A New Moon in Aries:  A new lunar month and lunar year!
Pisces is the last sign of the astrological calendar so it always marks a completion month for the year, whether solar or lunar.  We’ve been in the new solar energy for the year since the Sun went into Aries at the Equinox.  Now, it’s the New Moon ushering a whole new lunar energy for the next year. So, we’ve just finished off, finishing off a whole lot of loose ends as we prepare to step into the Aries power!

Big, fiery, power packed Aries New Moon: 
A New Moon that’s going to feel more like a huge full moon release than a new moon rebirth. Trusting that a whole lot of this old ‘baggage’ will clear in the dark of the moon, the period of 3 days preceding the New Moon.

Prepare to be the ‘pinball wizard’:  Planetary ‘triggers’ to clear the debris!
There’s a few powerful planetary trigger points to this New Moon which will get the release happening and the ball rolling with kicking off our old boots and getting into our Astroboy boots! We just need to be aware of these ‘triggers’ so we don’t blow a head gasket and overheat our new engines!

It feels like a radical breakout as we harness our inner fire and feel the need to break down the barriers of restriction, limitation and karmic contracts.

New Moons set the mood, focus and pace for the next month:  It’s electric!  It’s fiery!  It’s dynamic!
With Uranus at 28 degrees Aries close to the New Moon/Sun in Aries, higher consciousness is bringing in leading edge ideas with bolts of electric insight!  This looks like a dramatic and electric kick-start for this lunar month with the Aries ‘boots’ kicking free of so much ‘baggage’ as Pluto in Capricorn , closely accompanied by Black Moon Lilith and Mars squares off to the New Moon.

Freedom to be me!  Own ourselves, deepest desires, the lives we’re living, the lives we want to be living!
Uranus awakens our consciousness and being in a reboot with the New Moon/Sun suggests we’ll be offered the kind of insights we need right now to get in touch with who we are as a divine being, what we truly desire and also what needs to go.  The potentials being revealed at this New Moon planetary spread will illuminate all those aspects of our lives which are or are not aligned with us.  We might get a bit of a shock of surprise as these truths about ourselves and our lives strip away extraneous matter. 

If there’s any dissonance in our lives, these energies will be shown to us and suddenly we get it!   With Mercury now moving forward in Aries, albeit slowly, we’re going to feel a new found clarity and confidence to bring our spirit back to life in our lives.

Activate the spiritual warrior wizard connection:  
New Moon in Aries in square/challenge to Pluto in Capricorn!
This New Moon is fiery and could offer challenging releases if we harness the power of the masculine warrior energies and the Pluto in Capricorn inner wizard to negotiate the potential minefield of dramatic releases and change. 

It’s the young fiery New Moon/Sun/Uranus squaring off to Pluto, Lord of Transformation, rebirth and death to break down the walls and benchmarks of the old paradigms which have kept us boxed in and unable to access our greater spiritual potential in the world.

Wake up and accept who you are:  I am what I am!  
The walls of the old paradigm are challenged by individual liberation!
Uranus playing a major role in Team Aries is making sure we get some higher consciousness and wake up calls to knowing and owning who we are.  We’re being called into saying ‘What you see is what you get!’  Guess what!  It’s called a human being living on a planet which is kicking over the traces of war and conflict held within our beings, our memory banks, our ancestors and our lives here and now.  The universe is backing us big time to take hold of that light sword and move into the power of divine will, divine truth and divine love!

Activate our Aries ‘Astroboy’!  We’re raising the roof, lifting the lid on those old burdens of limiting ‘rules and regulations’!


We’ve got a powerful Aries team squared off to a Capricorn team so the radical masculine trailblazer, rule breaker challenging the Capricorn tradition, structure and status quo. 

It’s personal and it’s political!


Diffusing and releasing the energies: 
Jupiter in Scorpio opposite Venus in Taurus!
Assisting with the whole release process is Jupiter in Scorpio opening up the channels to the Pluto ‘minefield’.  This could be a heart opener, heart stopper with Venus in Taurus 19 degrees opposite Jupiter at 21 degrees Scorpio.

Jupiter is in a positive connection with Pluto in Capricorn so if any connection can release and alchemize this energy safely it will be Jupiter IF we tap into the Venus in Taurus energy.

Venus is opposite Jupiter and as we know opposing planets call for a balancing of the two energies.  Venus is exalted in Taurus and providing we tap into our heart energy and the heart of Mother Earth, we can safely ground this energy as Jupiter transforms and heals as only ‘the surgeon’ can do.  A little bit of Scorpio psychic surgery will go a long way at this time.

Team Capricorn:  Pluto in charge with Mars meeting Black Moon Lilith
A reboot and release of buried anger, resentment and bitterness!
Pluto 21 and Mars/BML 16/17 degrees Capricorn
Mars, our fiery warrior masculine energy is close up to Black Moon Lilith, our shadow feminine energy which suggests that there could be more explosive angry releases from those who have swallowed the anger and buried the frustrations and irritations in their lives.

This energy is tapping into the feelings of disempowerment engendered by frustrations dealing with the status quo, the establishment and being played out in personal relationships. This whole release and rebalance process kicked off at the Libra Full Moon just 2 weeks ago.  Divine karmic justice is being restored gradually as we release the old inequities.
 
If you’ve swallowed your anger over the years, this energy may bring it out in the open.  It’s already been happening at the Full Moon in Libra when it seemed a whole lot of people let off steam.  Just take care that we don’t get trigger happy! lol



Sabian Symbols for the New Moon in Aries:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com

New Moon and Sun:  Aries 27
THROUGH IMAGINATION, A LOST OPPORTUNITY IS REGAINED
This Symbol shows the talent or the ability to be able to use inner creative energy to revitalize ideas or opportunities that seemed to be lost. Whatever it is that you need to do, believe that it is possible and create an image in your mind and you will most likely succeed at gaining it or recovering it. Always take heart; there is energy here to recapture things that seemed to be lost. Visualizing what you want, allowing time and watching for it to manifest can bring astounding results. Sometimes, however, the “lost opportunities regained” are in a different form than we had first imagined. Creative imagination and visualization. Hope renewed. Second chances. Last minute reprieves. Being forgiven or pardoned. Imagineering. Making up for losses.

Uranus:  Aries 29
THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES
This Symbol speaks of the beauty of music and harmony and it is particularly intuitive. It doesn't matter if things are going well or not, if you are in tune with the inner voice, this can show an inner accord with your path. Savor the lessons that come and know that everything happens in its own time and you’ll grow in wisdom. ‘The Music of the Spheres’ can show attuning to the messages of astrology, numerology, mathematics and science. Sing, tune into the planets, listen to music, dance and celebrate life. Voices bringing messages. Music, harmonies, chords, keys, octaves. Circadian rhythms. Days of the week. The planets speaking. The measuring and the passing of time.



17th April:  Chiron moves into Aries at 7.09 pm AEST
Healing the wounds of our warriors!
Until 26th September when Chiron enters Pisces retrograde:  A window of healing opportunity for the self.
Until 18th February 2019 when he re-enters Aries for 7 years

Welcome to Chiron the Master Healer:  
Opening, releasing and healing the wounds of our ‘I am’ warriors!
Astronomically Chiron is not a planet.  He’s a Centaur named after the centaur in Greek Mythology who was disowned by his parents and reared by Apollo. He’s known as ‘the wounded healer’ as by healing his own wounds he was recognised as a master healer. 

Shaken, stirred and catapulted into the Aries fire!
Moving into Aries straight after the lightning strike. earth shattering New Moon in Aries gives us the strong message that anything that was shaken up at the New Moon in terms of sudden insights, breakthroughs, breakdowns in relation to ourselves is now ready to be healed. 

It’s a releasing and healing time:  The old anger and power plays of ‘war’ are releasing...if we allow!
The old spiritual wounds held in our bodies, psyche are being opened up to be released. What kind of wounds can we expect to be revealed?  Let’s remember that Aries is ruled by Mars, the God of War and Mars, as ruler of our physical body and our masculine fire and drive is going to be undergoing some amazing healing energies if we are open to re-experiencing old ‘war’ wounds whether from this or other lifetimes.

Energetic healing of spiritual wounds in the physical body:
In energetic/spiritual healing, spiritual wounds can emerge as pains in the body and can manifest as bruises, marks of chains, ‘shrapnel’ wounds from swords, daggers, spears, bullets as well as thongs or bonds on any part of the body. 

Chiron rules Virgo along with Mercury so we’re dealing with the manifestation of these ‘old’ wounds in the physical body.  The old emotions emerge in any part of the body and with Chiron in Aries, it could be the head, eyes, face, brain but any part of the physical body.  Mars is the ruler of our physical body along with our fire and drive.
Prepare to be astounded and amazed if strange energies emerge.  We just need to let them go and hold the energy of love and forgiveness for ourselves or any others that are connected to that wound.

Chiron was last in Aries from 1968 to 1977 so you can imagine when he changes signs it impacts upon the whole of society and of course being in Aries it impacts directly on our masculine warrior energy within society.  How we enact our ‘warrior’ self depends entirely on our spiritual consciousness and evolution and that of course varies as we move backwards and forwards from 3D/muggle reality to 5D/magical upliftment.

18th April:  Saturn turns retrograde at 9 degrees 09 Capricorn at 11.46 am AEST
New wisdom!
Until 6th September at 9.09 pm AEST stations direct at 2 degrees Capricorn

Clearing karmic backlog:  Our Capricorn wizard awaits!
Saturn, Lord of Karma, is taking us back over some old ground to make sure we’ve cleared the karmic decks so we can move fully into claiming our spiritual authority, respect, reputation and success in the world.

How has Saturn in Capricorn helped you before?
This is a yearly process so there’s nothing new here.  What is new is the Saturn in Capricorn retrograde which hasn’t happened since Saturn’s last stretch in Capricorn from November 1988 to February 1991.  If you think back to that period of time you may get some idea of how Saturn in Capricorn works for you even though the planetary aspects would have been different at that time.

New found wisdom and understanding:  Finding out what success means for you!
Capricorn is all about tradition, benchmarks and doing our best and societal trends have turned this into framing success as making mountains of money, attaining power and influence through status, position, fame and fortune.  It is up to us to choose our own personal framework and paradigm as our guiding light to doing the best we can and gaining self-respect and creative fulfilment of our potential.

Lyrics for Sacred Ground https://genius.com/Janis-ian-walking-on-sacred-ground-lyrics  out of the treadmill, onto the sacred path
First few lines of Sacred Ground:  Full Lyrics above
I once was much like you
Had a nine to five and a mortgage due
That rat race got to me
First it ate me up, then it set me free
One day it buried me alive
I snapped and almost lost my mind
I crawled out just in time, to go
Walking - walking - walking
Walking on sacred ground’
At first I lost my way
But I stumbled on until one day
I came across a stone
With the name of every soul I'd known
I edged around it carefully
'til it became a memory
That set my spirit free, to go

Upcoming Dates:
20th April:  Sun into Taurus

Hugs all around!
 
Here we all are celebrating the New Moon in Aries and the new beginning to our lunar year!
 
Fire energy is what we need for life force, enthusiasm, the energy that keeps us moving if we are focussed and aligned with that inner spirit of truth.  We need this fire to give us the courage and strength and the absolute faith in ourselves as light beings living an earthly life.
 
If we’re prepared to clear the old energies blocking our inner fire and tune in to our I am selves, the pure form of our Aries presence, then we’re on a roll!  Just need to take our time, ground the fire energy into practical reality supporting ourselves with faith in our pathway forward and in our spiritual fire within. 
 
In a few days after the New Moon, we’ll be welcoming the Sun in Taurus which will help stabilise all the New Moon fire energies and support steady movement forward.
 
Love and blessings to us all as we activate and welcome our divine fire spirit and embrace our willingness to grow and expand in consciousness and commitment to ourselves, the planet and the cosmos.
