Astrological events:
April 7 Pluto went retrograde until September 13-14. Now that we've seen how truly corrupt so many of our social institutions are, we get a chance to turn inside ourselves and root out all the dead matter ideas, beliefs, values, goals that no longer serve us.
April 17 - Mercury goes retrograde at 13* Taurus, turning direct on May 11. Mercury retrograde periods are great times to redo, review, rethink, re-evaluate and release what isn't working. The Sabian symbol for 13* Taurus is: A porter carrying heavy baggage. It symbolizes self-mobilization for social advantage. So take responsibility for your life and rethink what you need to do to make the most of these transformative times.
April 19 Chiron enters Pisces for the first time since the 60s. For the flower children who remember those times, we get to reclaim the great music and powerful feelings of community that were the best parts of our 60s experience. It's time to heal our collective emotional wounds from 2000 years of war, rape and pillage.
This new Moon is a time to engage in physical activity as well as meditate on your new vision. Perhaps some Chi Gong, Tai Chi or yoga will put you in a meditative space to plant your seeds. Mars and Aries both need physical activity, so align with the energy. You can also meditate holding a crystal or rock to ground in the meditation (thanks for the suggestion, Tamara!).
