Dawnings

 We are in the zone of new beginnings. Our experience of life cycles in this planetary realm takes us through the beginning, middle and endings of life forms. This applies to stories, stages of life, relationships, created objects, nature’s gardens or even whole continents. It is the essence of life to be dynamic, ever changing and growing anew. We celebrate this at Easter.

The Aries/Libra Full Moon rose in the indigo skies for us all across the planet, shedding light on the path ahead for this next round of the Sun’s cycle through the zodiac. A grand Trine in Fire linked the Sun in Aries, Saturn in in Leo and Jupiter in Sagittarius.

The Sun grants us the Light of Life itself, nurturing our courage and originality.  I was in Hawaii at the time. I loved the warm balmy nights and warm oceans to swim in.  On the top of the the tallest mountain on the main Island of Hawaii are observatories for astronomers who seek the outer worlds of the galaxies and universe in which our little planet is placed. It is icy cold in the thin air and nothing grows on these heights. Yet down below closer to the sea, are the swamps and marshlands teeming with life. Giant banyan trees, mega flora and abundant flowers are prolific where the sea meets the land. Beside this mountain, is another, very much alive. The Goddess Pele streams forth her hot lava in continuous regeneration from the depths of the earth. The lava is greeted by the ocean and together they form new solid ground for the earth.

Saturn in Leo is the reminder of the responsibilties we have to be masterful in our outward expressions, to realise the effects we have on others and the limits of our own sphere’s of influence. I was intrigued by the template of chiefdom which permeates the native Hawaiin stories, legends and philosophies. Careful and mindful leadership is important in tribal life. This valued perspective permeates through the culture to the modern family units.  

Jupiter in Sagittarius enhances our explorations and discoveries beyond the parameters of the playpens in which we have been dabbling with our abilities to create. The seekers join with chiefdoms and both are enhanced by the continuous stream of life that feeds and nurtures our souls.

A fixed T-square linked Venus in Taurus with the much needed healing enegy of Chiron in Aquarius. The Human spirit is bored and boredom leads to stress and unnatural fatigue. Nature regenerates our natural love of beauty and this seems to enliven our souls. I am writing this from Pennsylvania. My 7 year old neice awakens in the morning and checks the day’s weather forecast on her computer.  It is important information for her day. We had snow squalls here yesterday and today is the Easter Egg hunt in the local park.  It is fascinating for me to be experiencing Easter in the Northern Hemisphere for the first time. Snow is melting and hyacinths and daffodils are emerging to greet the spring sunlight.

On April 11th, Venus shines brightly amidst Pleiades. A full magnification of Urth’s Higher Self and Venusian guidance beams thru to us. A good time for manifesting and wishing. On the Higher Soul level, a time to reinforce one’s real values in life. A sense of wonder and recognition of natural beauty takes us into the 5th Dimension.

Uranus conjunct the Karmic Syllabus in Pisces awakens us to our True Paths. The Light of the Soul traverses the realms of the spirit of life stimulating the Higher Mind. Aha’s! and Epiphanies are the Easter gift of the Holy Spirit. A timely reminder that the eggs we utilise as symbolic of new beginnings and spiritual resurrection are welcome food for the boredom and tedium that has infected our civilisations. Amidst the rampant materialism and consumerism that barely satisfy the hunter gatherer instincts, the thrill of surprise and discovery grants the soul some relief. The awakening of the Christ seed within the planetary world may well outgrow the current preoccupation with our human created prolific shopping centres. I see the reality of nature’s cycles to be so much more powerful than the lure of transient satisfactions.

The theme for the astrologically defined year ahead is established. This is the seeding of a new direction emerging from within humanity. We seek new ways of being that regenerate the spirit of Livingness. 

Happy Easter to us all.

May the resurrecting of our own spirits within bring forth new frontiers of possibility well founded in reality. 

May Life shower us with Holy Sprinkles of Light and wisdom.

May Love of Life feed our hungry human souls.

Aloha!
