Becoming a Master of Paying Attention!
The astrology right now continues to be INTENSE!! The
Cardinal Grand Cross is in Full activation, plus we have two eclipses coming up. Everything is going so fast right now that it will take a concerted effort to stay focused and centered.
All of April will be like this, as the combined planetary pressures continue to bear down on us (read last post by scrolling down) with the Uranus/Pluto
square peaking Easter weekend (April 20th). Mars' extended transit through Libra, sign of relationships, will continue to be active well into July.
Though a bit daunting, this is also a very exciting, dynamic time. Much can be accomplished if the energy is handled well. We will be tested to see if we can be Masters
of our own destiny!
It is time to step up folks. Seize the day!!
Caution: there is a highly impulsive, almost primitive streak within these elements
as Uranus in Aries clashes with the obsessive/compulsive influence of Mars and Pluto. All three together are extremely reactive and potentially violent; i.e. an immovable object meets an unstoppable force.
We feel pressured; yet blockages continue to frustrate our
ability to act. Impatience or anxiety pushes us to move too soon. We push too hard, and end
up getting sideswiped by our own momentum, (or we get pushed there).
Try to bring in some of the famous Libran diplomacy. Be careful of your words as well as your actions. Feel your way through rather than listen to your reactive mind. Remember what I said last week about the zen balancing act it will be to stay on two feet in this push-pull energy field.
And when all else fails... DUCK!!
A sense of humour helps as well!
Luckily, alongside all this wacky energy, there is also a beautiful wave of beauty, ease and grace coming our way. Venus is merging with Neptune right now, and both are in sweet harmony with expansive, joyful Jupiter. This lovely
fluidity can help smooth out t the oppositional energy field that is
triggering some of us.
Neptune brings us into the spiritual realm, Venus is the
planet of love. Jupiter expands both by taking us deep into our soul self,
which is love and joy. It shows us there is a third option, which can save us from ourselves.
As this aspect taps into the infinite healing potential of
love, it also brings forgiveness. So if you are in conflict with someone, and
feel stuck, remember, there is another
way. It doesn’t have to be about being right, or getting revenge. Something
surprising and beautiful just might come
shining through when you least expect it.
Use this harmonious aspect to access prayer, mediation, music
making, artistic expression,writing. Listen to those gut feelings right now. Open
your heart. Take time for stillness. Walk in nature. Connect to your feminine
side. Breathe in. Nurture yourself.
And stay in the here and now. With so much tension in the air, is tempting to try to escape … yet there is too much going on to allow for a total retreat (well you can try)
We can use our activated creative side to channel some of the angst, as my sister did with her soul collage practice. Her wild images certainly express the powerful feelings that are surfacing for her as Mars crosses her Libra Ascendant (safer than dumping it on someone). Art is one way to claim our power in a creative and positive way. Physical movement helps as well.
The increased intuition can also help us navigate some of the crazy stuff, as long as we pay attention. If you try to float away or get too spaced out, the oppositional stuff could hit you from behind. With so much chaos all around
we need to be awake and alert. Use this inner focus to be more present, rather than to escape difficulties.
