As you are working to redefine your boundaries and clear out all that is no longer effective in your life, you are continually confronted with the duality of this world.

Yet as you look into the duality of all that is, you will see that many seeming opposites are more closely related than they first appear.  For instance,  sweet and sour are both tastes, red and green are both colors, faith and fear are both states of our relationship to the world around us.  You live in an eternal moment of the ever present now and the only real choice you have is to live the highest caliber life you can aspire to.

At this time in the human experience we are gaining awareness of the impact of our thoughts on our experience.  Mind is the builder, thoughts become things, and your thoughts create your reality.  How many of your thoughts are your own.  We know many of our thoughts our formed from the moment of conception, some believe even before conception.  Then we have the Mass Media, the air waves the local and family prejudices.

And all the subliminal nudges by people who can think of all kinds of applications for your talents, we must remain true to our inner guidance at these junctures.  Who do we wish to become?  What innate gifts did we bring to share?  When we act on our own highest inspiration what doors will open to us?

 The current energy in Aries gives us the initiative to try new things at this time.  The Jupiter sextile Uranus all month will allow us a point of view capable of propelling us into a more authentic life.  The on going trine in earth signs between Saturn and Pluto offers an excellent opportunity to put long term support structures in place as we weed out all those inefficient systems we may currently be using.

  Politics, pollution, economy, these are the questions on so many minds and that is just how some folks want it to be.  Can you say redd herring or look over their?  The truth that underlies all things is that we are light beings created of energy, divinely inspired.  God force imbued with the light of creation and if we keep looking over there to the point of forgetting our divine gifts we will miss the magnificent opportunity to co create what we came together to experience.

  Don’t condone fear or hate in any form, focus on the good.  I hear so many say, “it’s all good”

 I notice many use this as an affirmation when we are not sure what to think.  Why not?  Of all the things I hear, this one rings true.
 

At the end of March 2008 a star at 19 Scorpio exploded.  If you know where to look in the constellation Bootes, this is an area still visible to the unaided eye.  It set the record for most distant visible event.  It is believed to be half way across the known universe.

 This happened in international women’s month, as it coincides with the position of my natal Saturn I wish to make a small adjustment in my column that I believe will help to celebrate women. By recognizing that there are two Female goddesses who have lost there name to modern times. We can expand our archetypal thought to include a more balanced paradigm. I would like to introduce two beings already precious to us. Here on Earth our Mothers name is, Gaia how can we nourish our mother if we have forgotten her name. When we look in the sky we most clearly observe Diana let’s give these courageous women back their names and welcome there sister planets newly acknowledged Ceres, keeper of our crops expelled from her planetary status over 100 years ago and newly reinstated. God bless her in her work. Mike Brown  and his team started the revolution when they found Xena, Thank you, this is an Energy that will guide many through there dark side to uncover there best potential, I vote for Xena.  TPTB took charge and named her Eris.  Eris, oh! Discordia may we see you for who you are when you show your face. Also please welcome sister Sedna long lost and forgotten in the cold, invites us to retrieve our soul and discover the amazing inner reserves we possess.

• Neptune is occulted by Diana on the 2^nd and again on the 29^th check and see if you can see a different reality let you emotions be your guide the hunt is on.

• On the 7^th the Diana makes her nearest approach to Gaia, watch your soft spots now.

• Diana will occult Mars on the 11^th this is one Friday night you may want to stay home and explore your Martian side from the land of Nod, if you can get there.  If not journal, exercise, Kundalini.  Yoga anyone?

• The Lyrids Meteor shower visible after midnight 21^st ,22^nd ,and 23^rd

• Diana moves furthest from Gaia, on the 23^rd a good day to observe emotional responses, your own included.

• As it gets dark start looking for Mercury on the western horizon he maybe visible any day now.

• As the month progresses before Ol’Sol rises look where you expect him.  You may glimpse Neptune the Master of Illusion, ruler of the Piscean Age.

• On the 27^th Jupiter will shine down on Diana.  Make a wish, these two are lucky together.

• All month Mars will already be over head by the time it is dark.  He fades a little as the month goes on.  Use this Aries energy intentionally be the seed that emerges victorious into the light. Grow in health.

• Jupiter brightens as the months go on; look in the early morning to see him in the southeastern sky, this lucky star will bring increasing light as April progresses.

• Saturn is turning his rings more away from us at this time, adding the effects of his retrograde motion at this time; we can consciously lift inner restrictions and imagined limitations.  After you lift them be sure to bless and release them. Be bold break that cycle, the restrictions are temporally lifted by the heavens above Take your telescope to a field and see for yourself.

Mercury starts the month in Pisces.  Making dreaming and planning take on energy of their own when Mercury moves into Aries.  If you have dreamed and planned carefully you will have the inspiration and the energy to begin implementing your new ideals.

Mercury moves swiftly through Aries.  On the third he returns to his energetic stronghold for one fortnight only, being on military time I suppose.  On the 18^th of April Mercury flies into the land of Taurus.  Still running he reaches his home in Gemini on May 3^rd and settles in for a long visit.  Really he has scheduled a home stay to end on the 11^th of July.  More than two months for a fellow who can traverse a sign in 2 weeks may be this is a lesson we want to explore.  Mercury’s retrograde begins when he reaches 21 Gemini on the 27^th of May.

 Venus also starts the month in Pisces.  I find it so much easier to see the beauty in all things when Venus is in Pisces.  Enjoy this dreamy mood until she floats into Aries when Diana is New on the 6^th.  This is the day to start a new energy project if ever there was one.  Venus will remain in Aries challenging us to get the best value for our energy out put until May Day when she moves into her spring home in Taurus.

 Pluto and Charon station Retrograde on the 2^nd.  The dynamic duo need to retreat to the Galactic Core for a little more expansion before committing to their foray into Capricorn.

Don’t worry, this will not happen until Thanksgiving.  Until then just let the gravity of the black hole pull all that dross out of your energy field.  Relax and trust that all is well in Gods Hands and allow yourself to grow when and where ever possible.

 Saturn again remains retrograde until Stationing Direct on the 3^rd of May as Mercury enters Gemini.

The Full Moon is April 20^th  5:25 AM CDT, 0° 42" minutes of Scorpio
