It's All Good

The Sun has entered the earth mother sign Taurus and suddenly, it's all good. 

Just for a moment, turn off the noise, put down the headlines, relax, breath deeply and come into The Present.

Taurus is the sign of the here and now, the real, the practical, the place where all the wild energy of Aries comes to a focus and takes form. Our minds this last week have been ricocheting from past to future and back exhausting us with improbable scenarios of crisis but the Sun in Taurus says, "Center in The Now. You are safe. Trust in the process."

So what is The Process this week? What are the planetary gods up to and how can we best enjoy the show?

As I mentioned, Sol has entered the sign of gardens, so all activities that get you outside close to nature are going to nurture your own soul. 

Key thought: TRUST YOURSELF.

Moon is traveling through Virgo, Libra, becoming a FULL MOON in Scorpio and then on to Sagittarius - so we start out paying attention to chores in Virgo but we're aiming for fun and adventure with Sag by Saturday. 

Key thought: VISUALIZE A POSITIVE TOMORROW WHILE ATTENDING TO THE WORK OF TODAY.

Warning: Mercury is in Aries answering demands for fast facts with what really may only be rumors. Hold off on the loud mouth opinions - especially Tuesday night when Mercury teams up to exaggerate with Jupiter. 

Key thought: BEWARE RUMORS AND EXAGGERATIONS.

Venus in Taurus will oppose Saturn Monday but trine Pluto Wednesday morning. Harsh words spoken over this last weekend will then have opportunities to heal. 

Key thought: HARD TIMES DON'T LAST.

Mars has left Aries and is joining Venus in Taurus. Hopefully this means the fast acting police who so quickly captured the Boston Bombing suspect will have a calmer couple of days now. 

Key thought: KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON.

Accident prone Uranus is spotlighted Tuesday. Keep your plans simple and allow yourself plenty of wiggle room. Sometimes difficult Uranus contacts actually bring good luck!

Key thought: TAKE YOUR TIME.

Jupiter in Gemini makes some nice contacts with the Moon Tuesday evening - Wednesday. Should be good for night owls. 

Key Thought: AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMMUNICATE.

FULL MOON Thursday and it's a partial eclipse. Stirred up emotions could make for some lively public displays.

Key thought: STIRRED UP FEELINGS.

Saturn looks to squelch the party Saturday night so keep it down to a dull roar.

Key thought: EVERY PARTY NEEDS A DESIGNATED DRIVER.

Taken all together the theme this week seems to be a series of opportunities to get riled up over rumors and half-truths. Handle these temptations with a firm decision to stay calm and grounded. 

I'll be talking to you soon,

Decisions that Shape Destiny

I've had many conversations over the years debating the meaning of Fate versus Free Will. I've come to the conclusion that free will is like a muscle. We have to exercise it or it becomes weak and just melts away. The way we strengthen our free will is by knowing what our choices are in any given situation and consciously choosing how we react. Fate may dictate our circumstances, our race, our sex, our place and time of birth, but by choosing how we respond to these givens we develop our spirituality, our ability to ultimately decide our own fate.

We have a lot of interesting aspects coming up this week and the more we understand the choices these planetary placements are giving us the better we will be at exercising our Free Will. 

Early Monday April 15 Venus will enter it's home sign Taurus. When a planet is in it's "home sign" it's more beneficial characteristics shine. In Aries last month Venus was responsible for encouraging people to get out of their winter hibernation and get active but it isn't until Venus enters Taurus that we see if any of the new starts are going to stabilize into reliable routines. Warning: Fate says without Aries, enthusiasm wanes, but Free Will says we can use Taurus to shore up our desire to stick with a program even after the newness fades.

We're all Fated to have to deal with taxes on Monday. Use your Free Will and minimize the chances of creating any unwanted replies from the IRS by not sending off your return until the Moon in Cancer goes void of course at 3:41. 

The Sun in Aries will conjunct high energy Mars in Aries on Wednesday evening, April 17. There's no stopping the action when these two get together but you can put it to good use by intentionally seeking out activities that require energy and movement.

Venus sextiles Neptune in his home sign Pisces Thursday night. A lovely aspect for art and music. Good things are fated to happen - choose to enjoy them!

Mercury will be in Aries connecting with Saturn on Friday. Now here's an outstanding opportunity to put the planets to work for you. Fate would say Friday will be filled with tedious chores but if you take charge you have an excellent day to accomplish your goals. If you do, Mercury then conjuncts Uranus Friday night and you could have a wonderful well deserved exciting night on the town. If you've neglected to take care of business however, Uranus conjunct Mercury can manifest as an accident that's been waiting to happen.   

Another opportunity for spiritual growth is coming up Sunday morning when Mercury squares Pluto. The planet of communication squaring off with the planet of power struggles? Choose to avoid the drama by remembering Silence is Golden.

And of course thanks for choosing to read my blog,

Mad about Mad Men

A New Moon in Aries this week and the next season of Mad Men starts tonight! Hip hip hooray! The creators of the program picked a fitting line up of planets to launch their next chapter. Their lead character, Don Drapper is the personification of an Aries self-made man (he literally created his identity by switching dog tags with a dying soldier), I wonder if the show's writers think of Don as an Aries? Anyway, this Aries New Moon Wednesday is the signal for all of us to start living our dream. What were you creating in your mind last month in Pisces fantasyland? The Aries New Moon signals ready or not those visions are starting to take form...

Here's the landscape we'll be entering:

The timing is perfect. Mother Earth is eager for her children to get out and start something. Plant a seed, schedule an opening, whatever you want to do. Anything you've been considering giving a try will have a special band of angels encouraging your adventure this week. Don't worry about having all your plans in place either. Just get out there and join the race. If it's new and different for you, you're doing the right thing.

After telling you to let the spirit take you, I must now caution, "Don't let it take you too far." Along with the Moon, the Sun, Mars, Venus and Uranus are all in Aries this week. Aggressive traits are coming to the surface every where we look. The sweetest of your friends may now come across as stubborn or pushy. Don't you unnecessarily ruffle feathers by insisting things be done your way or coming across as bossy either. On the other hand, you gotta be yourself. Hug'em if they can't take a joke! 

Perhaps we can learn how to handle our power struggles by watching that master power broker Pluto. This week on Friday April 12 Pluto will be turning retrograde. Suddenly the Aries push to get out in the world takes a U-turn and attention turns inward. I think it's signaling that early in the week with the New Moon we will have a burst of energy and enthusiasm, a sort of "I'm not going to let anybody tell ME what to do" kind of bravado and then..oops..it becomes obvious that we need to pause and rethink our strategy. I wonder if this line up of planets will coincide with a shift in the political scene in North Korea? Perhaps with Pluto turning retrograde the threats of force coming from over there will de-escalate. We can align with Pluto and support the process of peaceful transformation by following his example: Pluto will be turned inward for the next 5 months meaning we can tap into our own unlimited power by likewise turning inwards. If you see something you don't like in the outside world, now's the time we really should get results by working on ourselves.

When planets talk, I think retrograde Pluto's favorite expression is, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

One last planetary aspect to consider: Mercury is changing signs on Saturday April 13. He's been floating along in pleasant Pisces for the last two months sharing poems and fairytales and a lot of misinformation (Mercury's instinct for seeking out the facts is decidedly compromised in Pisces). Now he's catapulting into Aries where there's the strong probability a lot of these confused ideas will be blasting across the airwaves. Don't get caught up in any shouting matches.

In sum, this week's energy line up favors getting out and trying something new (New Moon in Aries), then pausing and deeply considering the implications of the new insights gained (Pluto retrograde), and then finally, being cautious about claiming your truth is The One Truth (Mercury in Aries).

I also recommend watching to see what Mad Men have to say. :-)

You're tops in my ratings!
