April 2013 Ok... NOW!
The introspective Mercury Retrograde phase officially ends April 6 and NOW it is finally time to do all those things I strongly suggested you wait to do.
The New Moon in Aries on April 10 is one of the best days of the whole year to launch new things, start new projects, initiate, plant, make public, make official any and all of your projects and endeavors.
This magical day is also the BEST day of the year to make a vision board with the energies, words, pictures of things that you want to see, feel, and experience in your life in the next year. Take off from work, don’t make any commitments, keep that day, or at least part of it clear with no phones, computer, or other distractions and cut, paste, draw, create your life for the next year and beyond.
Gather magazines before then to have ready for looking, feeling, and clipping. Waiting until that day to clip is the most powerful but if you have to do some work beforehand, at least wait until April 10th to do the board creation.
You will notice the theme of the aspects listed below involv- ing ARIES! April is all about everything Aries – it is astrological time for everything rambunctious, sassy, initiating, new, fun, active, and REVOLUTIONARY! Great for seed-planting of ev- ery kind.
Also of astrological note is that we have entered eclipse time. Starting in the middle of March, implications of the May eclipses started to show up. Dramatic events for you or those you know may continue to show up with more frequency. We often start to see the effects of eclipses about 8 weeks before they occur. Major things or aspects of life become eclipsed out with the Lunar eclipses and new doors fly open with the Solar eclipses.
Jobs, homes, people, beliefs, experiences, ways of life, lev- els of connecting with people, are all things that could disap- pear suddenly from our experience, or word of them being on their way out could come from the Lunar eclipse — usually with the corresponding Solar eclipse news of a new home, job, relationship, belief, etcetera. Sometimes it takes up to 6 months after an eclipse for the whole story to be told. As with all astrological transits, this isn’t an excuse to be nervous, or to react, it is a time to be present and respond to what comes, knowing that each step is being guided by a Benevolent Source.
Every energy that appears to exit will be replaced with new energy. Energy isn’t created or destroyed, it just changes form. Eclipse time epitomizes this Universal Truth.
DateS to note:
** Sometimes the effects of planetary transits are felt before or after the actual day that the transit occurs.
