17th April 2016 Mars stations retrograde, 18th April Pluto stations retrograde

 
Hi everyone!
 
What’s been happening: 
We’re travelling under the Aries Sun and Aries New Moon energies!
 
Integration time:  Rest and replenish!
We may feel like these zebras soaking up the rays of the sun, replenishing and renewing our beings before we take off.  We’ve been travelling on the road of intense change which has been turning us upside down, some more than others.
 
The eclipse period which came to a close at the New Moon in Aries last week has set up ongoing changes which may not yet have manifested.  Those changes can be triggered for the next month and on to the next 6 months.
 
IF you haven’t been quite feeling alive, alert and ready for anything. take heart and know that we’re being called to dig deep into our hearts and minds and it can seem like a bottomless pit.  Are we there yet? I can hear many of us cry out as we feel the languishing of the watery energies of Pisces still washing over us.  Take heart as the upcoming energies bring in the opportunity to ‘work smarter not harder’!  It’s not new but is more insistent that we fully integrate these new systems of management.
 
It’s an inside job: Resonance and attraction is the key!  
The new doorway awaits! 
It’s quite a journey for us at this time as the  universe presents all manner of shifts and turns leading us to re-igniting the passionate energies of fire to carry us forward.  So much of the fire energy is happening within bringing us back to life after a long period of feeling a little at sea, lost in the process of emotionally and spiritually cleansing and purification. Now we’re working with the fire energies the energy of passion and enthusiasm. 
 
It’s an inner journey:  Practising magnetic energies!
Maybe you haven’t quite kickstarted into that enthusiasm just yet as we’re getting our bearings after travelling the open seas of Pisces.  Which possibility is ripe for picking?  All those possibilities and potentials which have presented are all around us but we haven’t quite got the clarity to choose...not yet!  Can we wait while the universe brings the ripest potential to us?  The upcoming period of retrograde Mars, Pluto and Mercury (from 29th April for 3 weeks) is setting up those insights, clarification and understandings providing we are willing, committed and able to work with a containment of energies.  It’s going to be a whole lot easier once we attain mastery of the magnetic energies of the divine feminine. 
 
What’s coming in:
The new paradigm:  Ask and you shall receive!   Just believe and maintain the belief and vision!  Magnetic attraction!
We’re actually being given some ‘slow down’ integration time so we can collect our energies, ground ourselves after the lightning changes of the past few weeks. We’re moving into a whole new mode of operation and the sooner we get the message of these energies and how they’re offering us new and more evolved ways of living, the sooner we’ll be bringing in the clarity and insights about our hopes and dreams with a re-ignition of desire and passion for life offering a spectrum of potential which we haven’t yet accessed.
 
Shifting gears:  The self-drive vehicle!  Initiation into magnetic service!
Both our movers and shakers, Mercury and Mars in shadow retrograde with Mars stationing in stillness turning retrograde on 17th April we’re being given a strong message about the nature of the energies for the coming weeks and months.  

We’re going to be working from within, manifesting our forward movement by working with the divine feminine energies of imagination and desire, directing our focus to our hopes and dreams rather than running around all over the physical world trying to ‘make it happen’.  Yes, we have been doing this but not to the extent and depth as will during the upcoming weeks and months.
This feels like a real initiation period wherein we’re going to be pulled into the process of manifesting from within with minimum effort on the physical dimension.
 
Digging out our gifts and talents:  Undiscovered treasure!
With Pluto in Capricorn also turning retrograde, we’re being taken into the gold mine of our consciousness and once again bringing forth the gifts and talents that are lying dormant within us. Pluto rules mines and as ruler of Scorpio, is the ruler of transformation, life, death and rebirth.  Scorpio takes us into the darkness to find the buried gold of divine spirit, the light force!
 
14th April:  Mercury enters retrograde shadow...into the shadowlands!
Stations retrograde on 28th April until 22nd May
Leaves retro shadow 7th June

Gently, gently:  

Walking the talk:
With Mercury, our communication and mind manager moving into shadow retrograde on 14th April we are now in the slow down period before Mercury turns retrograde on 28th April. 

There’s an intensification of our mental energies, our mind power as Mercury gradually slows down until 28th April.  Travelling in Taurus, Mercury is asking us to connect at a heart level with Mother Earth whilst we’re re-wired mentally. 

Our values as well as our physical bodies are being re-aligned through our mental processes.  How we think about our physical lives on earth as well as our place in the world can take significant leaps of understanding.  Watch the nervous system during this shadow period. Our nerves could be a little jumpy!


Travelling in earthy Venus ruled Taurus, we're likely to discover any dissonance between heart. mind and body. Are we walking our talk or just mouthing words, beliefs, ideas which do not match our actions? Revelations increasing as Mercury is in Taurus for the long haul. Clarification comes through Mercury retrograde and shadow retrograde periods as we get the time and space to come to new insights and understandings.


Cutting the strings of attachment to the status quo:
Are we puppets on the strings of old beliefs and conditioning, held by the lure of security which is the illusion of maintaining the status quo or are we pursuing our heart's desires?
 
Saturn in Sagittarius:  The truth is setting us free!
Saturn in Sagittarius is lending weight to the call to truth and integrity. Mercury connected with Saturn a day after his move into shadow indicating the relevance of the aligning between mind and divine truth and authority.   Saturn will keep us on track for that alignment with higher consciousness as he treks through Sagittarius, the sign of higher learning, the sign which calls all seekers to the divine truth. 
 
 
17th April:  Mars stations/turns retrograde at 8 degrees 54 Sagittarius  at 10.13 pm AEST
Retrograde until 30th June

Containment of fire and drive:  Channelling our passions!  Recalibrating our bodies!
Mars is our masculine fire and drive, ruler of our physical body. With retrograde planets there is a forced containment of energy which makes us operate in different ways.  For Mars, this means we’ll be maintaining awareness of channelling our fire and drive into the recalibrating of our physical bodies, finding new ways of working with our bodies...less effort, greater result.
 
 
Light beings in physical bodies:  Body makeover from inside...out!
We are physical beings living in a physical world and for this reason we too often forget that our greatest power rests in our energetic signature, our light body.
 
This next stretch of months we’re really going to have the opportunity to drive those light bodies with a whole new operating system.  Many are likely to feel challenged particularly if their primary mode of operation is purely physical. We’re learning to be smarter and to work as energetic light beings.
 
Firing ourselves with truth and wisdom:  Alignment with our divine selves! 
Since 6th April Mars has been travelling through Sagittarius, a fiery sign like his own sign of Aries so he’s been relatively comfortable even though he’s been travelling in the slower shadow retrograde period.  He’ll be in Sagittarius until 28th May when he goes back into the watery depths of Scorpio. Until then, he’ll be firing our Sagittarian higher consciousness of truth and wisdom.  The sooner we learn to work with these energies, to pace ourselves physically, to listen to the voice of truth and wisdom within, the sooner we’ll be travelling with ease and grace!

Transforming the status quo:  Ongoing paradigm shift!  It’s transpersonal and personal!
Pluto is travelling long term in Capricorn, the sign of systems, governments, big institutions and tradition.
He’ll be continuing his deep transformational work on both the personal and transpersonal levels until 2024.
On the global dimension we can see the changes that are continuing to disrupt and reform politically and economically as the institutions established by traditional patriarchal ideology are challenged at every level. 
 


Transformation of our personal status quo:  Claiming our unique gifts, stepping away from ‘the mob’!
For us at the personal level, we are undergoing similar changes within our psyche  and in our beliefs about the physical world, where we are in relation to the Capricorn world of work. success, respect, reputation and acknowledgement of our particular talents in a monetary sense as well as in our esteemed place in the world.
 
Gold seam within:   Something new to emerge!  Dig deep within but no overworking!
It’s interesting that Pluto’s retrograde is connected with the Mars and later Mercury retrograde periods this year. It’s certainly a deep and introspective time which is going to offer up some golden nuggets about ourselves which will fire our inner light and how to express that in the world.  Accessing the magnetic fire power of Mars retrograde which is offering up our gifts and talents, we’re in a remarkable period of good fortune all arising from our abilities to magically manage our energies. Taurus is earthly abundance and Capricorn is a powerful energy of physical manifestation.  Magnets and minds ready!
 
 
Golden Oldies:
 
‘If you want to sing out’ Cat Stevens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDq36YD1ESM
 
‘Swinging on a Star’ Bing Crosby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rATftJiWdkw  Reaching for your star!
 
‘You Can’t Roller skate in a Buffalo Herd’ Roger Miller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skFWsc_-i14  Make up your mind...be happy!
 
 
Upcoming Dates:
20th April:  Sun moves into Taurus
22nd April:  Full Moon in Scorpio
 
That’s it everyone!
 
In a few days from now the Sun moves into Taurus putting the focus on our values, gifts, talents and our physical world of abundance.  If you’re not feeling abundant at this stage you’ll be dedicating your life to receiving the fruits of your labours, your divine birthright this lifetime.  Then at the end of next week we have a full moon in Scorpio.  We’re in the death throes of the old paradigm of hard work, struggle, pain, suffering and the treadmill of oppression...if you believe it is time.  

All being well, I’ll be getting out another update for the Sun and Full Moon this week, hot on the heels of this one.  Like many of you I’ve been going through some major changes and it’s taking all my energy and attention.  However, my ‘hot line’ is once again open and receiving.
 
As always, love and blessings to all of us, seekers of truth and travellers on the road of growth, expansion and evolution of consciousness!
