Ramming Up For Spring in the Aries New Moon

New moon, March 27, 2017 10:57 PM EDT

As our golden orb heralds the dawn rising earlier in the northern hemisphere now, we leave behind the dark vestiges of a deep and troubling winter for many.  The world stage seems far from peaceful and as rancorous as I can recall in my adult life.

The sun and moon, will ‘occult’ one another for their monthly conjunctivo at 7* of Aries the Ram.

Here in the first decanate of Aries they ram up to move spring forward in the wearing of the green.

Venus/Aphrodite has just flown by as she is Retrograde at 3* Aries and is pushing back into a square with Saturn/EL now at 27* Sagittarius, which is bang on the Galactic Center, opening the vault of the heavens, infusing our world with a potency that sizzles and crackles in the ethers, waiting to be harnessed or annihilate the unwitting whose path this live wire happens upon.  (In this case, it is in your own personal chart and on the world stage, as we see the powerful games being lobbed back and forth.)

With Venus Retrograde, she can either bring back what was meant to be yours, or move the carrot just

out of reach, depending on your circumstances.  Venus rules what we have, possessions and what we value.  In Aries, she is randy and can be reckless, but retrograde can reign in your resources, or may bring investment opportunities that have come along before.  Either way, you may find yourself questioning who you love and why, what you value or how you invest.

I would like to tell you that our markets and economy should move along swimmingly, and HOPEFULLY they will, after all, who wants a crashing stock market? 

Now, she asks us if we have invested in what we love or to put that another way, do we love our investments?

I liken the stock market to gambling in Vegas, because you have no control over what is being done with your investment, or the outcome, unless you are a major shareholder and have some small say at a stock meeting.

Mercury will Station Retrograde at 4* of Taurus on April 9^th. And almost a week later on April 15^th, Venus will station direct at 26* of PIsces, which she will enter on April 4^th.  So, adding this into the equation, we must consider that Taurus is ruled by Venus and we are right back into the 2^nd house of VALUES, EARNING A BASIC LIVING/WORK AND POSSESSIONS.

For some reason, the universe just didn’t think we would be moving in the right direction and set our astrological clock to remind us who we are.

In this sense, it is as though we are being continuously made to repeat a grade, until we are actually ready to graduate.  This can create a volatile stock market or planet volatility, as the planets pull and push one another and activate these world squares.  Every time LaLuna hits one of these Cardinal Cross points, she is triggering the stress, and in particular, on Tuesday and Wednesday, 3/22 and 3/23 when she meets up with Pluto in Capricorn immediately after hanging out with old EL hanging on the Galactic Center, she is gathering stress, as she moves over these points, some of that stress may be released.
Adding to the volatility of our markets, etc.
We have Jupiter still retrograde at 19* Libra, he is the planet of optimism, good fortune, expansion and joy.  He too, is pulled back on his energy until June 8^th when he will finally Station Direct at 13* Libra.  Expect the gusher to start moving quickly when he moves forward…

Make sure you are taking the steps you can, to ground and center.  Do NOT let anxiousness keep you from getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep during this most challenging time for many on the planet.

Pluto is still the handle at 19* Capricorn, on the T-square to Uranus at 23* Aries conjunct Mercury/Hermes at 25* Aries, in opposition to Jupiter Rx at 19* Libra. 

We have a whole herd of stallions all reigned in, waiting for us to allow them to gallop down the track, but the gate seems to keep shutting!

Oh, are they getting restless!

I hope to get a video together to better explain just what these ‘SQUARES’ SYMBOLISE.

We can see that not only do we need the SQUARE to build, it forms a ‘CROSS’, (See our recent article on “The Stations of the Cross” and check which house is being ‘pressured’ in your own personal chart.) which as we have shared many times now, also represents the EL-ements; earth, air, fire and water, the building blocks of life.  Which El-ement might be out of balance in your own life?

They can ‘block you in, or make you feel, boxed in’ depending again on your own situations and your personal chart.

Mars at 12* Taurus (emphasizing that second house of possessions again) sextile Neptune will try to energize the moral high ground but Neptune, so large and in charge in PIsces at 12* has all those ‘hooks’, but it is also the Fisher King who holds the grail, and what do we really ever have, without first the wounding?  This is how you see the face of Gd.  The universe submerges us and until we learn to breathe underwater, to realize what is ‘the illusion’…as Jesus walked ON THE WATER, SHOWING US HE WAS ABOVE THE ILLUSION, not getting ‘hooked into the material world’ that tempts us and turns to dust.

How much moral high ground becomes proselytizing without the path behind the talk as proof?  How can you show the way, without finding your own way out of the labyrinth?  If you are always skipping along the top of the water, and have not been fully ‘submerged’, then you are only capable of superficial understanding, and have not truly found your own light, that casts the shadows on the walls of Plato’s Cave.

So much will continue to be revealed on the world stage, buckle up…we wanted ‘EN-Light-en-MENT’….which turns on the light to see what we could not see before.  All sages get involved at some level politically, they spoke out, they took action because they finally ‘see what is happening’.

Some of the new age teaching is the complete opposite of ‘seeing’ and teaches ignorance, or ‘to pretend you don’t see’…I have even heard people say, ‘well what can I do anyway?’…well that is not empowerment, but disempowerment.  That is the opposite of enlightenment. 

If you hurt, cry out…cry out for help.  A well-meaning friend, thought that would ‘magnify the hurt’ by telling the universe when we hurt.  What?

All sages tell us to put our beliefs to the test.  Test it against logic…if you were in the woods, and fell, would you not cry out?  Of course you would, or no one would come to your rescue!

I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN BELLY DOWN AND CRIED OUT, and THAT IS EXACTLY WHEN HELP CAME, WHEN ANGELS SHOWED UP IN MY LIFE.

I have learned that the universe knows our voice/ our vibration and crying out is a clarion call into the universe that is BRILLIANT AND INTELLIGENT, and you cannot trick the universe by pretending.  If you don’t cry out, that means you don’t have faith in a loving, brilliant universe.  Don’t try to trick the universe.

Be REAL.  These times can be challenging to say the least, but at least we are almost through these world squares.  Get a buddy to keep each other comforted.  Hopefully one that loves you enough to let you ‘be where you are’ and if you are in pain, tell the person.  You don’t always have to learn, if you are in great pain, sometimes all we can do is be present and love someone, let them cry out, let them scream out.  WITNESS THEM.
It is sometimes, very inappropriate to try to teach someone a lesson, while they are in pain, because all they can do, is ‘get through that pain’.  It can even be cruel, please try and keep this in mind, as we move through this time.

If you are in that kind of pain, tell the person, you only want a soft place to land, and you don’t have it in you, to learn a lesson in that great pain.  It is called ‘compassion’.

Hang on, we are bubbling along the stream and sometimes those bubbles go underwater, but you will ‘emerge’ new and with a new perspective and level of kindness, you may have to learn the hard way.

We are all in this together….

Riders on the Storm into the Super Moon of January 30th.

We are almost ready to welcome in the Year of the Wood/Horse, which will arrive on Friday the day after the new moon a SUPER MOON, which is Thursday, January 30, 2014 at 5:40PM, EST.

Have you been organizing, cleaning and preparing?  Perhaps you are aware of subtle energies that have been pushing you as we wait in the starting gate, to begin our gallop into the new year?
This new moon is in Aquarius at 10* and forms a sextile to Uranus which is at 9* of Aries and moving into the next exact square to Pluto.

This is the supportive aspect we can tap into, which would be to make those changes and take those lessons you learned and move forward.   The changes should include new ways and/or approaches to your life, how will you invest your identity/ego (sun) as it mates with LaLuna (emotions/feelings) and how you mother your world/family.

Those steps into the future you have been preparing for and mulling over now, probably for the entire year if not longer; we are now leaving behind.

Can you work out of the home, using the internet somehow?  Can you create a mixture of working part time at home and part time in a physical location?  IF Not, then it will be time to move forward with a whole new attitude, or new way of ‘feeling’ about what you do and how you invest your ego/identity inside of that module.  When we marry the male and female aspect, we want to forge a new approach, and since this is the year of the horse, one which is well rested. We are ready to charge forward, reigned by the knowledge and wisdom the past few years have forged within us.

 We have all learned lessons, how our choices make us ‘feel’ and where we find ourselves inside our own story?  Where do those we love and those who love us, find us, both mentally, emotionally and physically?

We must find a way to enjoy our lives, and with Venus retrograde and also going direct at 13* of Capricorn on the 31^st. we have had plenty of time to review and revisit what we love, who we love and how we love.  What brings love into our world?

With all of that review, as we move forward, we now have a much better idea of the cost of love, or the cost of the ‘things’ we love, possessions, worldly goods that must be obtained through in this case, the Goat of Capricorn who climbs the ladder of
success, sometimes to look back (Janus) At the mountain climbed and purvey a hard won success, or to reassess and perhaps to reconsider that the toll has not been worth the investment and the energy expended to achieve what may have been only an illusory world that is always just one more step out of reach.

Venus asks us what we take pleasure in, and much like Hercules in his 2^nd labor, where he is tasked to kill the 9-headed Hydra (the desire for pleasure), every time he cuts off a head, three more appear in its place. The lesson in part, being that you cannot conquer the lust for pleasure through trying to avoid pleasure, we need pleasure, and Hercules learns he must cauterizes the severed head with fire to keep the passions from rising again in another form(another passion). 

So, I return to my initial query, have you been feeling restless?  Feel as though you just cannot move forward?  Well, I have been telling you to prepare for this forward momentum, and if we look to the degrees of 9, 10 and 11* of Aquarius, we are straddling the first decanate of Aquarius into the second which is Gemini of those same degrees, but also Libra in those degrees as well, since we hook into the PLUTO Square from Uranus in those same degrees on the Cardinal Cross that has been forming and then separating back and forth now, and will continue into the last square in 2015.

YOU ARE BEING FORGED, if you are one of the Cardinal signs; Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn, and in these degrees: 8* through 15* in particular, and the emphasis is now on 9-12*.   Then this time frame and astrological aspects are affecting you on a much more intense level.  On November 01, 2013 we reached the midpoint of the squares, the next exact square occurring on April 21, 2014.  Pluto/Hades the transformer of POWER and Uranus/OURANOS the planet that represents new technology and inventions (the Age of Aquarius) but also the community in their square dance, have been transforming us and how we fit into the community, as the flames of Hades lick off the dross and stagnant shell that no longer fits us, we find ourselves restless, even as we search for energy necessary to make the changes .

As we reign in our new found forces, we are ready to gallop forward towards the next square.
Mars/Ares in Libra at 22* is still forming a wide trine to support Mercury/Hermes at 29* of Aquarius, in putting forth that energy and action into travel and communications, after we sift through a bit of the unsettling energy we are currently experiencing.  Hermes will soon go retrograde on February 6^th at 3* of Pisces, to make the trine more exact at 26* a couple of days after Valentine’s Day!  As we struggle to put the right words into order, contracts being re-written to hold the power of that energy, we can find a peace and a focus for our deeper concerns.

Speaking of horses, HERmes will almost meet up with Neptune/Poseidon who is at 4* of Pisces before turning around, and that moment is also forming a lovely trine to the head of the dragon which is at 2* of Scorpio.  OOooh, we can feel the sizzle of sensual healing coming on top of the Venus/Aphrodite retrograde to follow our spiritual core/purpose. Our dreams have been flashing across our PIneal matrix with our upgraded screens making everything deeper and more profound than ever.

Jupiter/Zeus at 12* of Cancer is firmly opposing Aphrodite/Hades conjunction, the lightening across the skies cracking open an ever deepening abyss, and for some, too deep to hang into the torment unleashed.  The doorways stand wide open, as many have chosen to make their transition into the next world, the river of living waters/tears that floods our world, not enough to water the drought on the West Coast, but certainly enough for the flash frozen collision as it hits the wall of the Arctic and pours itself out on the East Coast, now experiencing bitter cold temperatures not seen in decades.
I will be writing soon about some planetary changes/climate shifts to look for with new astrological aspects forming.

Our world is changing, being transformed and we along with it as we make decisions to move forward or cling to the skeletons of the past barely clothed in their tattered garments.

This is not to say to move forward with every new gust of wind and simply ‘go with the flow’ if that is the measurement of least resistance, for indeed, as I often say, the Eternal Sound of God is the measurement OF resistance.  It is the temperance that fortifies, the exercise that builds the muscles and the discipline that brings freedoms. Ommmmmmm!

When to move and go with the momentum you have aligned yourself with, and when to resist is the art of wisdom.
