Hi everyone!
We’re
travelling under the fiery Aries Sun and at times it seems a little distant as
we are experiencing the challenges and/or opportunities of major ongoing shifts
in consciousness. We’re learning to take time to rest along the way, rebuilding
the fires of desire and life force from a place of calm and stillness.
Travelling on the karmic ferris wheel: Stay
with it!
We are
travelling...spiritually even though many feel like they are stuck on the ferris
wheel of never ending karmic clearance.
In some
ways we are going round and round in circles progressing with the release of
karmic patterns and contracts.
We are
being challenged to be in the stillness at the centre of our wheel whilst
letting go of our own inner fervent desire for movement and change of our
physical situation and world.
Hold
steady: The retrograde labyrinths call us to our point of power!
We just
have to hold steady and let the old stories unravel, the old templates release
as we go deeper into the labyrinthine energies. As we go to the centre of the
labyrinth, we go deeper into ourselves to find our source of energetic power,
the power that works with inner stillness, strengthening the authority of our
spirit. We are learning to manifest physical changes from this point of
power.
Retrograde
Heaven: Acceleration of our spiritual growth and expansion!
Welcome to a
powerful time of manifestation....from within!
We're in retrograde
heaven. Heaven? Yes...heaven! We've got so much happening with the planets
coming and going moving into retrograde, towards retrograde motion or well and
truly ensconced in the process.
Sliding Doors: Planets coming and going
shifting our consciousness!
Talk about 'sliding doors'! We're going through a period of
accelerated spiritual growth thanks to all these planets calling us to the
centre of our being, to be in the stillness of who we are, to travel the
labyrinth of self discovery.
The paradigm shift is on! Manifestation power is palpable if we
can let ourselves be in the stillness and feel the power of creation welling up
from within. Just stop the hard work and struggle!

Coming out! Fuelling our heart fires with our magical manifesting power...as
within, so without!
Finding ourselves stronger, braver, more loving...much more!
Finding ourselves stronger, braver, more loving...much more!
Resistance is
futile as the retrograde planets call us to let go in order to travel the path
of ease and grace:
It’s time
to take time out to rest, recuperate from the challenging shifts in perspective
which are taking us across the bridge to higher consciousness. As we rest and
feel ourselves strengthen, our state of relaxation brings to us messages from
our inner being. Frantic activity will set us back at this time as we are being
challenged across the board to go with the flow as never before.
The
message of the mass of retrograde planetary energy: The new paradigm emerging!
Abracadabra! Time for the magic wands!
Welcome to the powerful energies of a bundle of
retrograde planets! We’re being invited to travel within to find our true point
of power, the alignment of mind, heart, body and spirit with our heart’s
desires, our dreams, our passions and utilise this alignment in drawing to us
magnetically the fulfilment of our creative potential.
The bottom line: Are you
ready to accept your magic wand of manifesting potential?
Just take charge of the magic
within by dispersing and releasing those sub personalities, attachments to the
past, the obsessive addictions to old patterns of feeling, thinking and acting
which are keeping us from the expression of our true power, our ‘I am’
energy!
10th April:
Mercury turns retrograde at 4 degrees 51 Taurus at 9.14 am
AEST
Until 21st April when Mercury retrogrades into Aries
Until 3rd May when Mercury turns direct in Aries
Time out: Time to regroup
mentally!
Mercury our
mind manager turns retrograde in the sign of earthy Taurus calling us to ground
all the scattered mental energies that arose during these past weeks of Mercury
in Aries. We’ve had a few days to get accustomed to the slow and steady Taurus
energy taking us on a trek across Mother Earth, inviting us to tap into her
heart ruled Venus.
Time to
enter the healing lavender labyrinth of Mother Earth:
Slowing,
relaxing the mind!
The
insistence to enter this healing labyrinth is incredibly powerful as Mercury
starts the retrograde journey in the waxing light of the growing Libra Full
Moon. Our mind is taking some R & R joining Mars who’s resting in Taurus
until 21st April. After 21st we’ll feel more active with Mars activating our
mind when he enters Gemini and Mercury retrograding back to Aries. Whew! Make
the most of this time until 21st April!
Physical
and Mental healing power:
Breathing,
throat, lungs, sinuses clear as we relax the mind!
Mercury is
the ruler of our mental body, our mind manager ruling our nervous and
respiratory systems. As an air energy, it’s the oxygen in our lungs, our
breathing and the supplier of this vital energy to our brain power.
Calming
and clearing old memories and patterns of anxiety, panic, fear in the
mind:
Consciously
utilising breathing techniques at this time will help heal and clear ailments
impacting the nervous, respiratory systems as well as the mental crises such as
anxiety, panic reactions. Resting with the earth will be especially powerful at
this time.
Feeling
the heart clearance offered by Taurus:
Mind and heart can align with Mother
Earth’s heartbeat when we take time out!
Taurus is a ruler of our physical body, a fixed
earth sign so the most fixed sign of the zodiac. As such it feels all the aches
and pains of the earth and impacts us strongly depending of the placement of
Taurus at our time of birth.
Taurus is
ruled by Venus and for that reason this Mercury retrograde puts the focus on our
realignment with Mother Earth at her heart centre and the realignment of our
mental energies, thoughts, beliefs with Taurus’ Venus energy. Spending time
with the earth, we connect to Taurus’ energy of the world tree, the heartbeat of
our ‘mother’...pure love!
Mercury
Retrograde: Reviewing, revisiting, rediscovering, recollecting...the past
revisited!
In Mercury
retrograde periods it often feels like there is no time, no space. We lose
track of time and our mental faculties are not necessarily in present time as
old memories surface. Of course this can include, people, ideas or any past
memories that are seeking resolution during Mercury retrograde time. Let’s
remember that this can be a joyful time of reunion with the past as well as
releasing past unresolved pains.

Taurus 5
A YOUTHFUL WIDOW, FRESH
AND SOUL-CLEANSED FROM GRIEF, KNEELS AT AN OPEN GRAVE TO RECEIVE THE SECRET OF
ETERNAL LIFE
This Symbol speaks of
things from the past that sometimes block progress in the present or for the
future. Don't let loss beckon you to give up and throw everything away. There
must always be a time to grieve, but what is lost is lost and cannot be regained
by losing yourself. Know when it’s time to fill in the grave and let go, whether
it’s literally letting go of people who have passed away or have disappeared
from your life, in order to move on. Gather up your energies and move towards
new objectives letting go of the old. Letting go of relationships and things.
Purging the past. Gradual realization of the illusion of matter. The passage of
grief. Redundancies. The gifts that loss and separation can bring.
11th April:
Full Moon in Libra at 21 degrees 33 Libra at 4.08 pm AEST
...completion!
Love,
balance and harmony: Justice will be served! Libran team calls for loving
resolution!
The Full Moon is in the sign of Libra, divine
justice, harmony peace and love. In the Full Moon ‘corner’ is the big expansive
Jupiter lending his weight and predisposition to divine law and wisdom to the
Moon’s power. It’s her most powerful time of the month and she’s got a good
‘second’ in Jupiter.
From
boxing matches to a match made in heaven: Jupiter on board!
Jupiter’s
positive support ensures that the potential boxing match between the Sun and
Moon will bring divine justice to all those unresolved memories of injustice,
unfairness and unloving partnerships as they emerge from the darkness of the
memory banks into Jupiter’s jovial presence.
Uh
oh! Uranus/Eris lending weight to the feisty Aries Sun! Look
out!
The Aries Sun sitting opposite the Full Moon is
known to enjoy the fighting spirit, ruled as it is by the planet Mars, our
masculine warrior energy. Lending weight to the Aries Sun is that wildcard
combo of Uranus and Eris, partners in disruption and potential chaos. Of
course, that’s what happens when we’re stuck in a hole, drifting along aimlessly
or needing a kickstart!
Pluto’s
in on the act: In square/challenge to the F Moon and the Sun at
19 deg.
Capricorn!
From a
potential boxing match, we have Pluto intervening as umpire or making it an all
in wrestling match. It’s up to us! It’s our choice how we respond to these
potential fighting energies.
Choosing
the moon for settlement of conflict and aggression!
When we
choose the feminine power of the Full Moon, we’re seeking a peaceful settlement
to ongoing conflicts and resistance to peace in our hearts and relationships.
Let’s not forget that the moon rules memories and the past so all relationships
in our lives are front and centre for settlement under cosmic law and justice.
Asteroid
Vesta, the spiritual flame is offering the fire of refuge:
The missing leg of
the big T-square and creating a Grand Cross!
Vesta, Goddess of hearth, the spiritual fire of
‘home’ is at 24 degrees Cancer, squaring off to the Libran, Aries and Capricorn
teams.
She might
be just an asteroid but offers us a powerful way of coming home to ourselves in
Cancer the sign of the divine mother, home family and place of belonging. At
this time take spiritual refuge within the fire of Vesta in the nurturing sign
of Cancer. As we tune into the spiritual flame at the centre of our being we
come home to ourselves, we find our place of belonging, our refuge and our joy.
Mars is
finding solace and healing in the sign of Taurus, Mother Earth:
He’s on R &
R from the battlefield!
Mars, the masculine warrior sitting just 30
degrees away from the Sun in Aries is feeling somewhat subdued and withdrawn in
the sign of Taurus and in retrograde motion. It’s all too much for Mars to
interfere and add fuel to the Aries energies. He just wants to keep enjoying
Mother Earth and her divine abundance. When Mars is in relaxing mode we let go
of the ‘hothead’ who wants to stay in the struggle energy of ‘making it all
happen’. He’s learning that Mother Earth has it in hand and he’s aligning with
that energy of trusting earthly support. He’s healing!
Saturn,
Lord of Karma: Another door of opportunity Saturn and the Aries 'team'!
At 27 degrees Sagittarius, Saturn is lending
positive weight to the Aries team as he opens the doors of our ‘I am’ Aries
energies in an opportunity to offload the karmic baggage we’ve taken on for
others which we no longer need to carry or we never needed to take it on!
Whatever
way it has been can now be released. We only need to do the soul work we’ve
chosen to do and that is changing all the time as we work with the light
shifting our energies in the release process. As we complete our soul work and
come into our ‘I am’ power we are releasing others who are working with similar
energies.
Venus
meeting Chiron in Pisces: Key players in heart healing energies!
Venus (27 deg.) is smooching up with Chiron (26
deg.) in the late degrees of Pisces the ocean of emotion guaranteeing some deep
wounds surfacing and healing all at the same time. The Full Moon always brings
up big emotions so when we have an aspect like this we know that this full moon
with its focus on love, partnerships, relationships and harmony, will draw out
those wounds buried in our hearts and in our physical bodies which have been
gnawing away at our capacity to love.
Revealing
the sad love songs of the past brings healing:
Joy awaits as Venus comes to meet Chiron on 15th March...Venus moves direct!
Venus is
still in retrograde movement so will be moving back right onto Chiron on 15th
April when she is stationing to move direct. How that meeting impacts us will be
dependent on how we open up to experiencing the full healing power of the Libran
Full Moon line up. I would anticipate that Venus’ meeting with Chiron on 15th
will be powerful in a joyful way if we can allow ourselves to open the old
wounds at the Full Moon. Vulnerability is power!
Something
comes to a head, a culmination, an ending:
Full Moons always bring some kind of
completion, a settlement...a potential resolution!
Full Moons carry big emotional energies bringing
unconscious and/or unexpressed emotions to the surface as though they can no
longer be contained. This may manifest as a bursting out like a balloon
exploding. It doesn’t carry negative or positive energy except for the way we
feel the emotions and express/act out the emotions.
How do we defuse explosive situations?
How do we take hold of the fabulous balloons of opportunity hanging
around?
Awareness
of the building of emotional energy within as well as often a need to speak up.
If we’ve been stuffing our emotions down, blocking the way we feel in an effort
to keep the peace and balance, then the chances are they will surface during a
full moon, especially a full moon which is all about love, equity and
partnerships.
I look in the mirror and what do I
see?
And let’s
not forget that the speaking up is as much to ourselves as to others. Libran
energy is all about reflections whether in others or whether we are seeing
ourselves in the mirror. Let’s start giving ourselves some accolades and love
as we accept our humanity and earthly lives.
Time for
some loving forgiveness of ourselves as well as others to complete the past
hurt, sad love songs as well as self recrimination, blame, shame, guilt or
criticism. Time to celebrate together and find a more evolved state of love and
relationship...soul love!

The Full Moon: Libra 23
A CHILD GIVING BIRDS A
DRINK AT A FOUNTAIN
This Symbol shows a
giving nature, someone who usually goes out of their way to lend a hand to
others, or provide for the needs of people or animals, especially for those who
find it hard to help themselves. Simple unconditional gestures of giving, love
and joy that are done for others can revitalize situations beyond expectations.
Dropping the "what's in it for me" attitude and adopting caring and sharing ways
can bring relief to all concerned. Taking time out of your busy life in order to
nourish and protect others can bring rewards far greater than you might expect.
Enjoyment of nourishing simple souls. Innocent reaching out. Interacting with
nature. Water and the need for it. Hydration. Fountains. Birdbaths. Moments of
innocence.
The Sun: Aries 23
THE GATE OPENS TO THE
GARDEN OF ALL FULFILLED DESIRES
This Symbol brings up
fabulous opportunities and possibilities. You could find yourself in beautiful
places with your desires met. There can be the promise of happiness; stability
and feeling like you’ve arrived where you want to be. At times, though, you may
be right at the point of what you want, but perhaps you need to make the
deliberate action of opening the gate; admitting to your self what you want and
where you want to be. Perhaps you need to knock, showing your intention of
wanting in. Maybe you already have everything you need - look around. Craving
for happiness. Gardens. Pathways to joy. Rewards and treasures. Domestic bliss.
Passages to a better life. Acquiring property. Realizing luck and wealth.
Utopia.

Swans mate
for life and always remind me of the Libran energies of partnership in balance,
harmony, peace and equity. Libran partnerships are about commitment and
‘marriage’ of two, whether it be an intimate partnership of lovers, friends,
family or business connections. Intimacy is an energy which crosses all loving
connections when we allow ourselves to feel deep love and respect for another.
It’s about soul love, a precious love which we all seek whether consciously or
not.
Love and
blessings from this swan here in the pond to all the swans out there staying
afloat on the waters of life, transforming on all levels from that ‘ugly
duckling’ into magnificent being of light energy. Loving connection to
all.
