Astral meanders 10-16 Aprill 2013


 

In general: The tension between Uranus and Pluto is growing. This can be seen externally in the leadership challenges across the globe and in situations where two strong powers come to blows. There is an overall build-up of energy towards the eclipse of the 25th and there is likely to be an increase in subversive and terrorist type activity at this time. For all of us words and actions and how we use both will have deep significance now. They could also have unforeseen and long-term consequences. Do be conscious of this. The New Moon on April 10 in Aries represents a time for new beginnings. It is aligned with Mars and Venus. The focus here is on learning to balance our active and receptive sides and finding a means of fulfilling our own needs whilst still being in an intimate relationship. On April 12, Pluto in Capricorn turns retrograde; starting a five-month cycle that is best used for observing one’s hidden fears and how we use our personal power. Used wisely we can gain strong insights and a new depth of consciousness about our life purpose. On the world scene it is a time for the surprising and the unprecedented. Terrorist activity is on the increase and dictatorial behaviour intensifies.  Locally be conscious of what you do and say.

Thought for the week: Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. ~Gandhi

Aries

The New Moon on April 10 sees you focused on your goals and ready to run toward them. Make the most of this week and indeed till late next week because it is golden. The New Moon adds creativity and a little razzle-dazzle to your life and emphasizes your personal charisma.

 

Taurus

The Taurus penchant for security and comfort is undergoing some perspective change as you feel the need to learn more, explore more and transform your life. From the 15th things seem to be more rewarding and positive for you. Social interactions are more numerous, bright, and fun during this phase.

Gemini

This is a highly effective time that gives support to creative teamwork and goal setting. Your talents will be noticed and can shine with ease. You are attracted to that which is reformist or alternative during this phase. There may be more contact with the public at this time, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and approved.

Cancer

You are motivated to take a wider look at things now, rather than just concentrating on details. You are cooperating with others and are more persuasive and optimistic at this time. This is an expressly good time for you if you work in communications, advertising, or writing.

 

Leo

April 10’s New Moon highlights creative projects and bold ‘big picture’ plans. Your desire for travel and learning is also in focus. You might feel a little agitated if you don't find ways to explore. You are more animated than you have been, and your confidence in yourself is natural and relaxed.

Virgo

You are fascinated by the deeper features of relationships and social interactions at this time, rather than what you see on the surface. Mysteries enthral you and you might find yourself looking for others' motivations for doing and saying what they do. You may seem more powerful when you speak, and command authority.

Libra

The New Moon on the 10th is a commanding one, putting close devoted relationships into sharp focus. Your personal appeal is strong and others are more than willing to spend quality time with you. You are also more relaxed talking things over in one-on-one settings, and can get your point across easier.

Scorpio

You can express yourself with friendliness and creativity and you have an approving "audience" for your ideas at present. You have more conversations with co-workers, get or receive work advice, or focus on a larger work project. You could be very busy at work, and come up with original ideas.

Sagittarius

April’s New Moon plants the seeds of a new expressive and creative cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favoured. There is copious activity in your area of romance, recreation, self-expression, pastimes and children. You are personally charming in an unprompted, natural way, now.

Capricorn

This week you are challenged to change some of your old ways and be flexible enough to ask others how to do things! Your mind is particularly inquisitive; learning, short trips, and other forms of communication appeal powerfully. This is not, however, the best time for concentrating on a task or project.

Aquarius

Love and communication are tied together in wonderful ways this week! Your words are especially comforting, and you tend to use words to smooth over complications that you see around you. You could have more communications than usual with others. Everyone is trying to get in touch with you.

 

Pisces

Financial activity, including pressures or worries, can be the focus now. However, Mercury enters Aries on April 13th, and you can come up with a new financial plan that you need to stick to. You may use your mind to increase your income, or start using technology more in your work.

Astral Peeks: Planets for April

Jupiter is easy to locate as soon as evening twilight ends above the North West horizon all month. On 1 April, Saturn rises around 7.13 pm and rises around 5.13 pm at the end of April. At the start of April, Mercury is easily visible above the Eastern horizon before the start of morning twilight. By the end of the month, Mercury’s orbital motion has carried it back towards the morning glare of the Sun. Neptune is located in the morning sky above the Eastern horizon. Uranus starts April lost in the glare of morning twilight but by the end of the month is high enough to point a telescope at. Keep in mind however that both Uranus and Neptune only appear as tiny discs under high magnification in a telescope. Venus remains close to the Sun and is not visible all month.

Meditation moments: Stillness

In stillness we discover who we are. Stillness is infinite, with no beginning, no end or containment. A Psalms verse, "Be Still and Know That I Am" tells us that stillness is the abode of God or Consciousness. A Buddhist teaching says the same, "I Am That." In stillness there is no stress, no capacity to hold unto anything unreal. That which is impermanent evaporates. It rises and falls away, back into stillness. Out of this absence of sound, called emptiness in Buddhism, arises the sense of spiritual essence. In times of inner stillness, we feel incredible peace and contentment. Through meditation we recognize that stillness is fundamental to our being. Stillness then illuminates. It shows us how our entire being appears and disappears into stillness. We are then able to be less reactive to the thoughts, feelings and sensations that manifest and evaporate. We recognize them as transient.

Stillness is eternal. To really, really know oneself, become intimate with stillness.

 

I am holding a workshop in meditation as stress relief on the 14th April from 10am-12pm at the Well Being Centre in Yamba. If interested please contact as below or call the Wellbeing Centre! Places are limited.
