BREAKING DOWN AND BREAKING THROUGH
The New Moon in Aries happened on March 30. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Libra
will occur on April 15th.
The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus is April 29th. The Grand Square (also called Grand
Cross) is April 21st.
Busy month! I am mostly
writing about the Grand Cross:
Uranus in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Libra and Pluto in
Capricorn. First, about the
eclipses . . .
Lunar Eclipse
connects with Mars in Libra: pay
attention to all relationships
Eclipses come in two’s, a solar eclipse and lunar
eclipse. There are two sets of
eclipses each year. The energy of
the eclipse can give a person a particular emphasis or subject for up to 6
months. If the eclipse connects
with your Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Mercury, Venus or Mars, it might impact your
life in a big way that involves struggles or windfalls (it can be either one). Sometimes the eclipse just impacts a
particular department in your life. For example, you might spend several months
making a job change or moving to another location. The lunar eclipse on April 15th is a full moon in
Libra (25degrees) where it connects with Mars and the North Node in Libra. Relationship issues are front and
center. There could be sudden
disruptions or endings in relationships.
There could be sudden new relationships that impact your future. There could be arguments to clear the
air. As we move towards the eclipse date, relationships (their challenges or
allure) will be stirred up. We can
work with the energy to find a new direction or a resolution.
On April 29th, we have the solar eclipse with a
new moon in sturdy, earthy Taurus (8 degrees). This eclipse looks calmer in spite of the big Grand
Square/Cross that is also present.
Maybe the Taurus energy will bring us back to a sense of stability and
security.
The Uranus-Pluto
Square: transforming stagnant
energy in ourselves and in the collective
We continue to experience the powerful, intense connection
with planets Uranus and Pluto.
Remember this is a major planetary cycle that began with Uranus and
Pluto conjunct in Virgo in 1965-1966.
Have you noticed how many news items include information about the 60’s,
especially with regard to civil rights/voting rights? This cycle will continue for many years to come. Currently we are living through the
first big challenge to the “revolution” or “awakening” that began in the 60’s. Pluto is the break down, “get
rid of the stagnant energy” agent while Uranus is the inventive, break
through planet. However, Pluto
also rules the plutocracy and its wealth controlling system. Those who have the wealth and are in
control want to keep the stagnant status-quo methods in place. They are not interested in any Uranus,
brotherhood of mankind, equality-for-all, experience! These opposing forces have been doing a fierce battle since
June 2012. The month of April is
another moment of intense confrontation between Pluto and Uranus as society
continues to struggle to find a new system that will work better on our planet.
This time two more planets are in the mix (Mars and Jupiter). The bigger picture says we are
undergoing profound changes in ourselves, in our society and on our planet.
When an astrologer talks like this, it’s easy to think we
are suggesting a cause and effect phenomenon. Not quite.
There is a connection or relationship between big planetary cycles and
what goes on here on planet Earth.
How it plays out is, in many ways, up to us.
Here are some tips to keep in mind as we breathe our way
through the month of April. Do not
hold your breath. Keep breathing!
Mars in aspect to
Uranus means short fuses are everywhere. Spontaneous eruptions of discontent—on the road, in the
grocery store, in the classroom, in the kitchen, bedroom…you get the idea. The dialogue between fiery Mars and
independent Uranus is about impulsive behavior, speech and anger. Mars is transiting Libra, the sign of
balance, harmony and relationship.
How frustrating to have all this commotion upsetting our need to believe
we are in good relationships.
Whatever issues are there will surface with this big bang going on. Mars is aspecting Jupiter as well. This also suggests big, spontaneous
outbursts stemming from irritated egos.
Then there is Mars
yelling at Pluto.
Mars and Pluto can produce repressed, unconscious anger coming from the
depths. Pluto can be mean and Mars
acts out meanness with words or even violence. Since Mars is currently in air sign Libra, the anger is more
likely to take the form of words.
These insights offered by astrology do not indicate the end of the world
or the end of your life. They are
offered as data to help us navigate the river. One strategy is to hop into your canoe, head for the middle
of the river where you can ride the current.
WHAT IS ALL THIS
HARD STUFF GOOD FOR?
Facing challenges
and opportunities is a good idea.
We do need to be conscious and awake.
These spring days are full of more than showers and flowers. These are days of challenge and
opportunity that can generate honesty inside us. We have the challenge to
acknowledge our own deep discontent and anger. We have the opportunity to find ways to breakthrough the old
patterns and move to higher ground.
We can experience this months as a “grand cross to bear” or we can
ask, “what is the grand cross to
bear good for?” What can we do
with it? Study something new? Get involved in a social or political
cause? Have an honest conversation with a person we are struggling with? Make a commitment to change certain
life style habits?
With Mars so active this month it is good to have physical
exercise to move the energy through the body. It is also good to express yourself if you are upset. On the positive side, this intense
planetary energy will encourage us to get strong through exercise and
self-improvement programs. One
cautionary note: do not overdo it.
The influence of Mars/Uranus/Pluto/Jupiter can mean we push
too hard too fast and end up back at base camp with an injury. Keep it smooth and pace yourself.
Pluto—the urge to
die and be reborn
Clean out closets, the refrigerator and your car. Get ride of what you don’t need
anymore. The way to live with
Pluto is: first of all, take
responsibility for our own negative junk and work on it. Deep issues may come to the surface now
and they need the right kind of attention. Also, to be on good terms with Pluto it is important to make
sure you don’t eat rotten food, or, metaphorically, don’t eat rotten energy. What does that mean? If we bump into negative, toxic energy
we constrict in our solar plexus and in our heart center. It could be an environment, a
situation, a memory or a person.
It is something that does not align with our energy. It just feels wrong and we want to get
away from it. Then we need to
release it from our energy field so it doesn’t stick around. Finally, find ways to clean up your act
without getting sick if at all possible.
However, don’t beat up on yourself if you do get sick. Illnesses can be experienced as a
de-toxing event: cleansing and
preparing for a new lifestyle or new consciousness about self. Die and be reborn. Mantra for Pluto: I ask for balance between MY will and
HIGHER will.
Uranus—the urge to
be free
Uranus gives us the urge to be free. This means something different to
everyone. Find out what it means
to you. What beliefs do you have
around the words, “personal freedom”?
Is it allowed in your belief system? Uranus says, be yourself. How do
feel about expressing who you are and not always trying to conform to a
situation? Uranus is the rebel,
not the conformist. What is the
balance between cooperation and individuality?
Uranus—the call to
awakening
“Human consciousness is approaching a narrow point in time
when human evolution speeds up tremendously and makes a jump into a new level
of consciousness. We become
something greater than what is now called human.” (Drunvalo Melchiadek. The Mayan Ouroboros, p. 14)
Uranus is the planet of awakening. If we don’t examine our beliefs, if we aren’t honest about
our discontent, if we haven’t learned how to be aware of our unconscious
behavior patterns when we are angry and triggered, how will we ever AWAKEN and
be members of a cosmic universe? We don’t have to be perfect. We do need
to be conscious and awake. How can we be a part of the shift in planetary
frequency if we aren’t conscious enough to catch a glimpse of it? In spite of the plutocracy, Pluto is
tearing down what doesn’t need to be there anymore. Maybe we have to see how bad the system is before it comes
crashing down. Maybe it is our
consciousness that causes the crash.
Live as if we are
entering a new dimension, a New Earth
Delores Canon, author of The Three Waves of Volunteers
and The New Earth, works with hypnotherapy. She has written about people and their past lives and their
experiences with alien life. She
has also written about people who are here on planet earth at this amazing time
because they want to be here for the new dimensional shift that is
occurring. She maintains that many
of these souls have not lived on earth before or they are from other “places”
in the universe; and they truly want to be here right now. Admittedly so many tragic things
happen. How can there be a new
positive frequency? According to
Canon and many other metaphysical researchers, we cannot destroy our planet
because it would cause too many repercussions in our solar system and beyond. Hence there are souls here to help lift
the vibratory frequency of Planet Earth.
I don’t know if this is true, but during this month of tension and
challenge, it’s a good idea to live as if this is true.
Some people are already living on the New Earth. They see it and they are living
it. For example, there are Tibetan
monks chanting everyday to raise the energy frequency on our planet. Other people are in the trenches of the
change. They are there doing their
thing to show us what needs to happen to create something new out of the
extreme polarity we are living in.
Maybe watching and observing the polarity and its tense stagnant hold on
our collective consciousness is changing us. Maybe how we change our consciousness is what makes the
society change and gives the collective body a new experience.
It is challenging to live in the tension of all that is
unfolding. This month really gets
our attention! The living Maya
elders give us hope. They . . .
“have predicted that as we approach the years between 2012 and 2015, humanity
will enter into chaos on a very deep level. But you will have no reason for fear. It is not the end; it is the
beginning.” The Mayan Ouroboros, p
15
Let’s do our best to be kind and sensitive to each
other. Watch over children and
animals. They do not have words to
express what is happening, but they are feeling the eruptions and disruptions
deeply. Remember, “everything is
connected and the web is holy.”
(Marcus Aurelies)
Keep Breathing!
