Hermes Stations Direct with the Aries New Moon

Lord Hermes Stationed Direct on April 14^th.  Communications might ease up a bit now, but so will the terrible things he held back.  I couldn’t write the new moon blog, because it was still too heavy.

The thing for me, is that I love to learn and know all about life, history, especially language and art.  To really learn or know anything, you have to LIVE INTO THE ANSWERS, as Rainer Maria Rilke would say.  So for instance, I wanted to learn about Animal Speak, how they communicated with us.  Who knew I would end up living in a barn, without running water, but a prime location to truly learn about animals. 
Have you ever heard cats on a hot spring night, er, ‘making love’?

Well, if you are woken from a deep sleep in the middle of the night, by Raccoons that live above you, doing the same thing…you have no idea!  Talk about scaring the living daylights out of me!  I grabbed the nearest weapon I could find, a handy broom and began stalking the place, looking for openings and fixating on the crawl space opening, sure they would barge through at any minute with all the screeching and thumping going on.
I didn’t clean off the spider web when I was preparing the space to move into either.  I negotiated with the mice, who liked to eat the filters on my cigarettes in the middle of the night too.  (Yes, I smoked back then).

All of that pales in comparison to learning what the ‘crosses’ in astrology actually meant.  Because I have a critical 13* degree Libra sun that was nailed on those crosses the last decade.  So, I write about that.

Today, in conversation with a client/friend, she told me of a difficult situation that she is now enduring, and a woman who told her: ‘Life never gives you more than you can handle’.  I am sure the woman was well-intentioned, but what she and many others who glibly parrot those words, don’t realize is just how cruel that actually can be to say to someone.  Almost as bad if not worse, than the’ just bless it and let it go’.

When you are LIVING IN THE PAIN, words like this are hurtful…more guilt for not being all ‘positive’ in the face of a difficult time.

This new moon, which began her new phase on April 15^th at 9:57 PM EDT, has some good aspects, there will be some light poking through for those who have been having a hard time, yes some are oblivious and having their own grand time, but for some this has been anything but an easy time.

You can’t, ‘not focus on the bad and wish it away’, like a child.  Not if you are even trying just a little bit to consciously evolve.  Don’t worry, though I have been saying this for over a decade now, a lot of others are finally coming to the table with this truth.  Guess with things the way they are, they are realizing that steady drum beat of ‘destroying the earth at our own peril’ is finally coming home to roost.  Not soon enough.

Oh well, I only know how to share the truth, even though it has cost me dearly.

Just before Lady Luna teamed up in her darkest hour with her Solar paramour, she made an exact square to Vesta, Saturn/EL (Lord of the Rings) at 9*, Mars/Ares (the war planet) at 16* and then to Pluto/Hades (death and transformation/rebirth) at 21* Capricorn, and of course only hours later she will bring the burning fury of the sun to Uranus who is at 28* of Aries, readying to ingress into Taurus on May 15^th.  Did I mention, these are squares?  Squares are not comfortable, they FORCE US TO DO THINGS, THEY FORCE WORDS OUT THAT HAVE BEEN BURIED MERCURY (ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING RETROGRADE AND ONLY STATIONED DIRECT THE DAY PREVIOUS), EMOTIONS IN THE CASE OF THE MOON, PASSION AND DRIVE IN THE CASE OF ARIES, STRUCTURE, LESSONS, LIMITATIONS, THE FATHER OR OLD MAN IN THE CASE OF SATURN AND WITH PLUTO, IT COULD BE ABOUT TAXES, INHERITANCE, INSURANCE, SEX, DRUGS, AND LITERALLY, LIFE AND DEATH.

So, no…I was not all ready to write about the new moon. 
There is good news in the middle of this, whatever you have managed to hand onto, keep building during these times, and has weathered the storms, is probably a pretty solid bet that will grow, if not without hard labor and effort, but it will prove to be a pretty solid bedrock in your life.

Relationships that have been tested, and survived, will most likely find themselves on good footing, even if it is not the most romantic variety, it will have proven even more valuable…’STABLE’ AND ‘TRUE’.

These times might make you feel as though you are Sisyphus, almost making it over the hurdles of life, and then sliding back down.  Sometimes it is best just to rest and wait for a better opportunity or timing.

On a brighter note, the sun is actually poking his head through the dreary days of cold and grey, and flowers are rising up to see the sun too.

Take a clue from them, get what sun you can, get that vitamin D cooking and take in a hike, enjoy the world around us, let mother earth know you see Her, you love and appreciate Her, all of life wants to be ‘witnessed’.  To be continued….

Getting Squared Away In the Scramble

Getting Squared Away In the Scramble

You know, I love when I get to share good news and tell you all about the exciting things we have to look forward to, where money rains from trees and love is all anyone knows.  Joy to the World and all of that.

Yeah…not so much right now…but there is light at the end of this tunnel, er shall I say ride?  Hang in there…

Now what we got here, is a failure to communicate.  So…everything just bursts out of nowhere at the most inopportune moments. ~ Sometimes that is.

But I am going to start this a little differently this time.  I am going to ask you a question, and I want you to think about this for a minute.  Have you been in a constant review of your life and the decisions you have made in the past?  A loop?  You start joyously flying into the sunny moments, and you recall something from a previous time in your life?  Or…Déjà vu?

Are you considering making choices that you already may have made last year, the year before, a decade ago, a couple of decades ago; but questioned the choice you finally made and the life-curve it took you on?

As if to say…oh no…not this again…this time…I will do A, B, C?

Alpha, beta, gamma?  Abracadabra?  Something different?  Like…a second chance?

I’ll tell you why it MUST be something different…Because we are dealing with the planet Uranus and the planet Pluto…change and transformation and we have been dealing with this square these two Angels have been forming with one another, for the past four years, starting on June 24, 2012 as you have read right here.

Oh…but this time…you can almost hear the tumblers falling, can’t you?

ARES the RAM is a CARDINAL SIGN.

RED…just like the Chinese colour for this Monkey, Red, Fire year.

RED is the first colour that the eye can see…it is a touch me colour, it stimulates ~ blind people can ‘feel’ the colour red.  We have ‘red light districts’ for a reason as well.

It is on red and white checkered table cloths at restaurants, it stimulates the appetite, as well as yanks you into attention and makes you want to pick something up in a store and buy it.

It is the first colour that the eye can see…RED.

ARE YOU SEEING RED YET?

This new moon on April 7, 2016 at 7:23 AM EDT, will fall on 18* of Aries the RAM.  This is only a slight 2* away from Uranus, and Luna will bring all that emotional CHANGE up to the surface…even if it only gurgles at first, you will feel the discomfort in the area that needs attention, unless of course you are already sitting in the flight deck, in which case you are ‘aware’…and watching…so it will come as no surprise to you, hopefully just reading this will be enough to trigger any reticent cells that may withhold you from this important opportunity.

I want you to recall an old ride, the ‘scrambler’ often found at travelling carnivals… you feel as though you are going to ‘crash’ right into the other circle of cars that is spinning concurrently with you?

All of a sudden, you could be on an entirely new track, and then think, what just happened?  I was going along so merrily I tell you…and all of a sudden…

And THERE, RIGHT THERE TOU HAVE IT BOB.

You see, that’s Uranus…’out of the blue’…

But now, we have our Ambassador and LaLuna right there with him, the original sky god Uranus, just ask Shakespeare.

And whilst Uranus is ganging up with LaLuna and ElSol, infusing them both in Aries the Ram/Mars…coming out of the last eclipse pairing on the Dragon’s head; Saturn/EL/Lord of the Rings is Retrograding (returning through that time field) Rx at 16* of Sagittarius, he is also squaring, Zeus/Jupiter Rx at 14* of The Virgin and Neptune/Poseidon swimming powerfully across from Zeus, forming the T-Square wide at 10* of PIsces.  Do we see the Rx or retrograde theme, the returning, the re-spiraling through our pasts, our visions, our dreams?

Lord of the Rings on the handle of that MUTABLE T-SQUARE, AGAIN we see the ‘change’ theme repeating itself.  As hard as squares are…THEY ARE WHAT WE BUILD WITH (I am paraphrasing an old teacher and friend of mine, Anna Cook).

I never liked hearing that from her, especially when I was only 15 years old when I met her, because they can also be very HARD.  They are NOT easy.

With all this Cardinal, RED, FIRE energy…it is the PERFECT TIME TO SET INTO MOTION YOUR PLANS TO FORGE A NEW LIFE, SOME DIFFERENCE IN YOU TO BRING TO THE WORLD STAGE NOW.

On April 18^th. 8:14 AM, Mars will also go retrograde at 8* of Sagittarius.  This will inhibit the forward momentum, so prepare yourself to review your actions at this time, re-evaluate the choices you are making right now and the ‘feeling’ of the energy flow and the direction you are moving. 

We can adjust during this time, until May 9^th, at 8 AM, when Jupiter/Zeus will station direct and also square Saturn/EL exactly, AT THE VERY SAME TIME!  This will begin to push us forward again, until the mighty push of Mars direct again, on June 29^th.

This can also be a stressful time for earth changes, and of course, we will see the continued escalation of the clashing between political beliefs.

This is the power and wisdom of our Divine Creator, who has all these angels/angles timed for us in such precision, there should never be a doubt as to our faith.

Mars/Ares will go direct on June 29^th 8:14AM at 24* of Scorpio, that’s right, the RAM is going to go digging up all that Plutonian detritus and scandal again.

And speaking of Pluto/Hades, at 16* of Capricorn the Goat/PAN, he will have just formed a lovely and exact trine with Jupiter/Zeus, who at 16* of Virgo, will also be conjunct the head of the dragon.

So, we will have support, if it is done in the name of service. 

We want the support of Zeus, and Zeus is opening the head of the dragon for us.  It could go very badly, for those who are not recycling and regenerating themselves now or their lives.  Hopefully you have visited purge-a-tory enough to have the vessel ready for this new movement.

This is about saving money, and helping those who are less fortunate.

That time frame around June 29^th, could be very explosive on the planet, but we will get to that later.

For now, this new moon in Aries is also in a lovely trine to Saturn/EL…so we have support to make changes and initiate whatever new approach, venture or partnership we have been considering.  The next two weeks leading up to the full moon, on April 22, 1:23 AM in 2* of Scorpio, four days after Mars retrogrades on the 18^th.

Mercury/Hermes will retrograde on April 29^th at 23* Taurus.

So, now that you have the dates, for forward motion and can see when we will also have some resistance, and it will be more difficult to actually move forward completely, we see we will still be learning and upgrading the recycled lessons, which will be exhumed to complete the process and illuminate the path ahead.

So, just know that during Mars retrograde, starting April 18^th until Mars goes direct again on June 29^th; the energy to ACT will be diminished, our motivation and passions could be harder to access, yet we may feel the discomfort of the squaring energy to want to change faster, to stop the pain.  Oh will it ever end?

This often leads to short tempers, confusion about the intention of others actions, especially after April 29^th, when the added energy of Mercury/Hermes is also retrograde and harder to access, this can cause some serious arguments…I mean heated.  If you can avoid trying to have a discussion that you 

know is already red-hot, it is probably wise to do so.

We will have roughly 40 days during that period, when we should be contemplating, revising reviewing our strategy, and preparing for that huge forward push that is going to come on the 29^th of June.

So, we are cleansing and renewing, re-shifting and reshaping in so many ways right now, that can be terribly frightening for people, with that uncertainty in the air, if you can reach down and rooted into the earth, be calm and supportive and access ANY wisdom during this time (That is the Golden Rule, it will be readily available if you seek to find during these times too, bend the knee my friends…do it on purpose).

We are gonna have one EXPLOSIVE SUMMER.  HANG ON!
