Jump In The Deep End

The Sun moved into the sign of Taurus on April 19, so it is now the season of security, beauty, and the world around you is beginning to bloom and come to life.  The sign of Taurus is represented by the bull.  It has a fixed attitude and it isn’t looking to change unless it has to, but what if this is the time to begin to ask questions and start to do the work?
 
Mercury in Taurus will be Trine Pluto in Capricorn on April 28.  Within the next year in March of 2023, Pluto will move into the sign of Aquarius, the sign of innovation and forward-thinking, and leave behind the sign of our structures.  There is still a lot of work to do before this takes place and next week Pluto will station and go retrograde.  If you plan on beginning anything new, now is the time to act. 
 
Mercury in Taurus has been whispering secrets and asking questions of you.  What are your answers?  Now is the time to examine your inner structure.  Are you who you want to be?  Is there something that you are ready to release?  If the answer is yes, this is a perfect time. 
 
Shadow work is never easy, but to truly encompass the energy of Pluto, is essential.  Nothing that is truly important ever comes easily.  Mercury in Taurus is asking you, what do you value?   Ask yourself the same question.  If you look at your life, what you value should be clear.  It should be how you spend the vast majority of your time.  If your time and your values don’t align, maybe it’s time to start to shift that area of your life.
 
Sometimes just the idea of change can be overwhelming.  You don’t have to change everything overnight, but you have to start somewhere.  Sometimes the easiest thing is to just dive right into the deep end and get wet all at once.  Just dipping your toe in takes a lot longer to reach the same point.  Also, you don’t have to dive in alone.  Find someone in your life to either help you or hire a coach to help you. 
 
The road to empowerment will always take you through the landmines of Pluto, but you have to start.  Let the energy be your guide.

Shadow Comes to Light

The time to confront all of the information, good or bad, is about to be upon you.  The Sun in Aries is Square Pluto in Capricorn on April 18.  You may have been able to ignore your shadow side, but that doesn’t mean that it has disappeared or has miraculously resolved itself.  Like it or not you still have work to do.
 
Shadow work is something that never entirely ends, which is why it can drive you crazy.  Shadow work is like peeling away the layers of an onion, once one layer is gone, it's time to move on to the next.  You may not have the patience for the process to unfold, but it will help to grow and reach new heights that you never quite dreamed were possible.
 
Are you trying to control situations or people that you can’t quite control or have you been using power in the wrong way?  These are two possibilities about how this aspect could show up in your life.
 
The idea of confronting and changing something that is no longer working for you is one that may terrify you.  Sometimes the devil that you know is better than the one that you don’t.  This isn’t one of those times.  The universe wants you to succeed.  It wants you to become the person that you’re meant to be.  The only way to do that is to make changes.  Change isn’t easy, especially when it’s something that’s meaningful, but it’s the only want to get where you need to go.
 
The Sun in Aries loves to begin.  It’s a perfect time to start the process if you haven’t already.  If you have started the process, give yourself a big pat on the back and keep going.  This isn’t the time to stop now.

Time to Dream

Restrictions and boundaries have been the game, but right now stop and take some time to dream.  Jupiter and Neptune are meeting in the sign of Pisces on April 14, 2022.  While Jupiter and Neptune typically meet up every 13 years, this is the first time since March 17, 1856 meeting in their home sign of Pisces.
 
The sign of Pisces is all about intuition, imagination, dreams, empathy, and idealism.  Expect to find yourself more drawn to the dream world this week.  Who wants to be realistic right now?  Take into your intuition and search for the truth below the surface.  You’ve been learning a lot about what has been holding you back from moving forward.  This is a time to imagine what your life could be like if you’re willing to go to the next level.  This doesn’t mean that you need to take action yet, just imagine.  What could your life be like? 
 
You have dreams that you haven’t followed for one reason or another.  Life and other people’s expectations can have a tendency to get in the way.  Tap into those dreams.  Could you be meant to do more with your life?  Could you have it all wrong?  Or maybe you just need to make a few tweaks.
 
Your dreams can send you down roads that you never could have possibly imagined.  Your guides can whisper guidance in your ear that may seem like total nonsense but lead you to new discoveries.  This is a time to let the universal energies guide you where you need to go.  Don’t dismiss it as crazy quite yet.  More will be revealed but coming up with the idea is always the first step.

Time for Patience

Are you ready for your next Saturnian lesson?  It’s coming on April 4, when Mars in Aquarius will be conjunct Saturn in Aquarius.  The planet of action will be conjunct the planet of restrictions and boundaries.  Expect that things might not work out the way that you have expected or hoped.  Frustrations will become evident.  Plus Mercury just entered Aquarius on March 27, so expect that people might say exactly what they think.  This is a time for patience.

Patience can be a challenge.  You have an expectation for what is supposed to happen and when.  You’re finally ready to take the leap and it just doesn’t happen the way you wanted.  This isn’t a time to be discouraged.  It’s a time to persevere.  Be patient.

The universe doesn’t live on a linear timeline.  It would be great if it did.  Things happen when they’re meant to.  This can be a challenging lesson, especially in this day of instantaneous responses.  You no longer have to wait to receive a reply to a letter, you can get an answer right over the telephone.  You can book an appointment right over the internet during non-office hours.  But most of life doesn’t happen instantly.  You must have patience.

Patience can be one of the hardest lessons to learn.  To trust that what you’re feeling or working towards is the right thing, but not right now.  It could happen in a day, a week, a year or 10 years down the road.  Aquarius is a sign that tends to have you looking towards the future.  It’s not meant to happen now, but that doesn’t mean that you want to wait either.  Be patient and know that the universe has a plan for you.  Follow the clues and see where you’re being led.  Try to not let your expectations get in the way of what could unfold.  It could be bigger than you could have imagined.  Let the future take you where it will, but remember to keep going.  This isn’t the time to stop.

Feelings of Isolation

During these times of COVID, there have been many people that have felt isolated.  Are you one of them?  Pluto is in Capricorn, the sign of the Hermit in Tarot.  I’m sure you’ve felt like a Hermit at some point during COVID.  On March 28, the planet of love and beauty (Venus in Aquarius) will be conjunct the planet of rules and restrictions (Saturn in Aquarius), so be careful of the feelings of isolation and sadness.

If you do feel alone and sad, allow yourself to feel it.  It’s such a challenge to feel the deep negative emotions that come along in life, but there are times when you’re meant to truly experience them.  This may be one of those times.  You’re being asked to start a new and leave the old world behind.  You may be experiencing grief for who or what you’ve lost.

Don’t skip over the hard feelings just because they are hard.  Be careful of projecting these deep feelings onto others and being critical of them.  Most of the time when we’re being critical of others, there is a sense of that critique within ourselves that we don’t always recognize.  Proceed with caution.  Think things through.  If there’s one thing that the sign of Aquarius is known for is its intellect.  Use that to your advantage and think before you speak. 

It may seem like the world has moved on from COVID.  Proceed with caution.  There are still things left to learn.  The world is still extremely divided and we’re often lashing out at one another.  We’re on the precipice of war in Ukraine and Russia. 

Venus and Saturn are having a conversation this week.  It may not go the way that you hope, but there’s always another day to do things differently, but allow yourself to be sad and to grieve if you need to.

Don’t Be Like Everyone Else

It can be a challenge to just be yourself and either not wish you were someone else or that you had what someone else has, but this is the time to be yourself.  Don’t conform to other people’s expectations of you.    Mars in Aquarius is Square Uranus in Taurus on March 22.
 
The sign of Aquarius wants us to be unique and march to the beat of our own drum, while Uranus in Taurus is changing our relationships with each other.  In addition to our views of love and abundance. 
 
Mars Square Uranus is likely to bring up feelings of impatience and a need to break free, whether it be from the rules of life or the completion of tasks.  It’s going to be challenging to get a lot accomplished under this aspect.  If you find time from all of the rule-breaking and feel like accomplishing a task, this is a great time to be creative.  The energy level is high so it’s a great time to tap into your intuition and see what comes through you.
 
As human beings, you want to fit in.  You want to belong, and there are times when you will morph who you are to accomplish those goals.  This is not one of those times.  Be who you are.  It’s not never easy, but there’s nothing better than standing in your own power and not apologizing for being who you are.  Stand tall and be proud of yourself.  You are unique and that’s something to be appreciated and valued.  You be you. 
 
Often during the most challenging times of your life is when you learn the most about yourself.  When you are forced to grow and change, things that you never dreamed of could happen, all of a sudden happen.  Go where the wind blows you.  Feelings may still come up, let them.  It can be challenging to stand your power and be who you’re meant to be.  Don’t let those feelings sway you from harnessing the energy to your advantage.

Feel the Feelings

It’s time to get ready to feel.  Feelings that you may not even have known that you had might emerge and take you by surprise.  On March 13, the Moon in Cancer is going to be in Opposition to Pluto in Capricorn.  Have you been working through your shadow?  If you haven’t there could be some surprises in store for you.

Pluto wants us to explore the dark side of life.  Exploring the dark side is how you can start to live a life filled with more joy and happiness.  You can’t have the light without the dark.  The Moon in Cancer is all about exploring what you feel.  There could be some surprises ahead for you.

Also, on March 13, there is a conjunction between the Sun, Jupiter, and Neptune all in Pisces.  The Sun is shining a light on your dreams.  What do you want your life to look like?  This is your opportunity to explore and see what that dream might look like.  Do you accept the opportunity?  Later in the week on March 17, the Moon in Virgo is going to be in Opposition to Jupiter and Neptune.  How do you feel about it?  Do you have a plan?  Is there anything that you haven’t thought of yet?

You’re being asked to look at life differently than you have in the past.  There’s always an emotional component to life.  Sometimes you don’t stop to explore those feelings, but they’re still there just waiting for you to take the time to process and ask how does it feel?  If you never stop to feel, eventually your emotions will sneak up on you and surprise you.  Emotions want to be felt one way or the other.  If you’re not comfortable with emotions, rest assured that you aren’t alone, you can try and experience them in a controlled way.  This doesn’t mean that they still might not sneak up on you, but the disruption to your life might be lessened.  You can always watch movies or listen to music that will make you feel.

Feel everything that you need to feel this week.  It’s more important than you might realize.

Is it Time for Optimism?

Last week was a doozy of a week that didn’t seem to let up.  There was an intensity to it that might have made you long for a break.  It makes you want to ask is it done yet?  It might not be over, but there’s a little bit of optimism shining through.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is currently drifting through Pisces, the sign of the dreamer and romantic. On March 5 Jupiter formed a conjunction with the Sun in Pisces.  Jupiter is going to expand the dreamy, romantic, optimistic nature of Pisces.  This aspect may instill a more confident feeling that leads you to believe that maybe you can move beyond the past and begin to create something new.  There’s an opportunity for growth here if you decide to seize it.

The New Moon in Pisces on March 2 has opened an opportunity to shift and have a new beginning.  Pisces is not without its sentimentality and emotionality but could create a sense of awareness and connection that could be lacking from the day-to-day hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Optimism may seem like a fantasy land to some people, especially with everything that has happened in the last few weeks or even years.  Optimism is the sense that there’s the opportunity for you, your friends, your family, the world, etc. to move in a positive direction.  There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of optimism, especially when it can feel like everything is falling apart.  Optimism can help you to get up in the morning and have some hope.  There are times when hope and faith are all that you have.

Allow the Pisces energy to come into your life and escape into the world of your dreams.  Are you being pointed in a direction?  Do you have the courage to walk through this portal and forgive yourself for your past mistakes?  Are you willing to create something new?  The opportunity is being presented; do you seize it?  The choice is yours alone to make.

Transformation Through Destruction

Are you in the process of transforming your life?  You’re not alone.  Pluto, the planet and transformation, destruction, and rebirth is still in Capricorn, where it’s been since 2008, but is really making its presence known. 

In January of 2020, Saturn and Pluto had a conjunction, which many say began the world that we’re now living in.  COVID -19 changed your life as you knew it.  The repercussions of that aspect have been with us for more than 2 years, but Pluto isn’t done.

On February 20, the United States began the first of its 3 Pluto Returns (there’s debate as to whether this happens now or later).  The next Pluto Returns take place on July 11 and December 28 at 27 degrees Capricorn. One of the keywords for Capricorn is structures.  Pluto in Capricorn has been transforming our structures personally and globally, but things are about to get kicked up a notch.

Venus, Mars, and Capricorn form a triple conjunction in Capricorn on March 3.  Major revisions are starting to take place.  Fears, insecurities, and shadows are rising to the surface.  It’s time for you to face your feelings about where you need to make changes.  These energies may be deeply rooted and will most likely be uncomfortable.  Rebirth isn’t meant to be easy.  You’re being asked to grow into the person that you’re meant to be.  This is a time for you to question the direction of your life.  Where are you going?  What do you want it to look like?

Take this Plutonian energy and channel it into rebuilding your life.  Use the energy to your advantage.  It’s never easy to change or to look at the dark side of life, but when you do light begins to emerge.  You can’t have light without the dark. 

Because there are 3 passes of Pluto this year, you have an opportunity to do it gradually.  The transformation doesn’t have to happen overnight.  You can take some time and ponder it, but with Mars being involved, it wants you to start moving.  The time is now.  Start doing the work if you haven’t already.  Use your imagination to create your dreams.

Beat Of Your Own Drum

More planets have moved into the sign of Aquarius, the sign of originality and uniqueness.  Mercury moved into Aquarius on February 14 and the sun has been in Aquarius since January 19.  Saturn had already moved into Aquarius in December 2020.  So, what does this mean?  You’re being asked to accept yourself for who you are and be yourself.

Now that can be easier said than done, but it’s doable.  Are you the type of person who has spent time trying to be someone else, only to no longer know who you are, or do you know who you are, but don’t really like that person?  There could be other types here, but let’s stick with these two for simplicity purposes.

I was one of the former, I had spent so much time trying to be who other people thought I should be that I had lost sight of who I was.  Someone who says, “oh you shouldn’t be that way,” so I would try to conform myself into that expectation.  Let me tell you, it takes a lot of energy trying to be someone that you’re not.  Just because I wasn’t like them, didn’t mean there was something wrong with me.  In fact, it was exactly the opposite.  I had something that I could offer the world as I am, that nobody else could offer, but I had to be willing to let that person out and roam free.  I used astrology, energy, and trauma work to help me unravel the puzzle of who I truly am and learn to accept me.  Now 10 years into this work, I love the person that I’ve become and can’t imagine being someone else. 

Now for the other type, you know who you are but don’t really like that person.  You’re not alone.  My question for you, is why don’t you like that person?  There are many answers to this question and none of them are wrong.  Your response to this question is the key to start moving you down the path of loving who you are.  Your uniqueness is what makes you who you are.  Everything else revolves around that. 

You have an opportunity to love who you are, not who you could one day become, but who you are right now.  Loving yourself is a process.   It doesn’t come easy and it doesn’t come overnight.  Especially as women, we’re often taught that we should meld into a mold.  We should be everything to everyone else but aren’t taught to love or care for ourselves.  The time to love yourself is now.  The time to accept yourself is now.  There isn’t another person like you and won’t be astrologically for another 25,000 years or so. Step into your authentic self and you can begin a whole new phase of your life.
