Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for April 13th is The Hierophant

Your Crowley Thoth Tarot Card for Today

The Hierophant



The Hierophant represents the protector of a culture’s heritage and traditions. His purpose is to defend and teach the established ways and beliefs a group embraces. He is inherently conventional and a true believer in the power of the group. He loves the structure of the group and its values. It is the task of The Hierophant to bring new members into the group—to prepare the uninitiated to take their rightful place in his culture. In this sense he is very much like a teacher or a priest. He also acts as the repository of his group’s history. The Hierophant is certainly not one to buck proper authority. However, he is staunch and worthy defender of the tried and true. He represents the positive aspects of tradition and conformity.

Something We Haven’t Discussed Much At All – Bindrunes

I feel it is my fault that we haven’t discussed the Bindrunes, especially since I am a Rune Reader. I ran across this page and there are a few Bindrunes I use to make for family, friends, familiars and myself. The Bindrunes are a combination of different runes that are put together for the practitioner’s purpose. The one I used on several occasions was the one in the upper right-hand corner. I will not lie to you it does help if you have some knowledge of the Runes. I believe for Bindrunes it is best that the practitioner make his or her own. With the Bindrunes, you can create any spell you want and if it is a not so nice spell or in this case Rune, you can give it to your intended victim. But I would never dream of doing anything like that, lol!

 

When we get a routine again, I will show you all the different Bindrunes there are. I think you will be like I was, totally amazed. I believe after I saw all the things that Runes can do is the reason I gave up on Tarot cards. But when we get to that, I will let you be your own judge.

 

Now back to business, I just found something from the past that I wanted to share with you.

Life is at a standstill. Difficulties will probably remain as they are.

This card signifies the closing of both heart and mind, which leads to stagnation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Element Influence

Earth Reversed

Earth reversed denotes a lack of positive connection with the life spirit–a lost soul. If you are not careful you may miss much of what life has to offer you.

 

Your Tarot Power Card for April 13 – 14 is The Lovers

Your Power Card for April 13 – 14

This reading represents strengths you were born with and you will need in the next few days.

The Lovers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lovers indicates both the most powerful of unions and the most of challenging conflicts humans must face. On one side The Lover’s embodies love and union on a cosmic scale—a love so strong, so inherently good that it actually makes the lovers better, more than they really are. All of the elements are there for the perfect union. The Lovers represent all powerful unions in general, and the elements that create/sustain them. The problem The Lovers face is temptation and the decision to act morally or abandon their ethics to take advantage of other opportunities that would be defined as transgressions.

Learn the Tarot: The Star Card

The Star


Rise above your day-to-day and connect with the divine.

General Meaning

The Star Tarot card is about reconnecting one’s soul with the divine — the transcending of personality, family, community, and reputation. It has to do ultimately with the freedom to be one’s self. The soul is responding to celestial influences — forces that can provide the personality with a stronger sense of purpose. The Star card helps us to remember our exalted origins and our attraction to a higher union.

This card could also be called The Celestial Mandate — that which refers us back to our reason for being, our mission in this lifetime. The Star reminds us that, in a sense, we are agents of divine will in our day-to-day lives. If we let go of the idea that we are supposed to be in control, we can more easily notice and appreciate the synchronicities that are nudging us along. In this way, we become more conscious of the invisible helping hand, and we better understand our place within — and value to — the larger cosmos.

In the Advice Position

Your time is better spent in reflection and spiritual pursuit.

The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.

The Star card advises that you rededicate yourself to your higher values, increase your spiritual cultivation and meditation practice, and surrender to the greater good. Connect to your higher self — a being of a larger realm traveling on an evolutionary course that started long ago and runs indefinitely into the future. This is the part you wish to contact and communicate with.

Now is a period for quiet contemplation. Listen for the voice within. Anything that would interfere with this communion may not be serving your best interests right now.

Your Tarot Card of the Day for April 13th is The Anchoret

Tarot Card of the Day

The Anchoret


April 13th, 2017
The challenge of The Hermit card is to be able to recognize a teacher in a humble disguise. This font of mysterious knowledge will not make it easy for the student to acquire his wisdom, as it takes time and long contemplation to fathom what he knows. He often speaks wordlessly, or in ancient and barbaric tongues, communicating with the elements, animals, and nature herself.

While an hourglass was an identifying feature on the earliest Hermit Tarot cards, more modern cards have shifted the metaphor, showing more or less light released from his lantern. In either case, the Hermit card reminds us of the value of time away from the hubbub of civic life, to relax the ego in communion with nature.

Mercury Retrograde Dos and Don’ts

Mercury Retrograde Dos and Don’ts

Keep moving forward while Mercury moves backward


 

There is one golden rule when it comes to Mercury Retrograde phases. Interestingly enough, it’s grammatical. If you can commit this simple tenet to memory then you’ll find that retrograde cycles of Mercury are not only easier to navigate, but also rich with potential for growth and personal development.

Ready class? Here’s the rule. Remember back in grade school when you learned about the prefix “re?” Well, a prefix is placed before the root of a word and this one means “again.” All you need to remember is that during any Mercury Retrograde cycle, if you’re doing something that begins with “re” such as reassess, revise, revisit, reconnect, redo, recall, resay, refresh, you’re right on track. If you’re not then stop immediately or else suffer the Mercury Retrograde migraine!

Here’s a top list of dos and don’ts that will help you navigate the confusion around any Mercury Retrograde phase, and don’t forget to save and share the graphic below for a reminder all Mercury Retrograde!

DON’T initiate. DO finish what you’ve started.
No matter how fantastic your new plan may be, hold off on the launch while Mercury is trekking backwards. There’s a high probability that you’re missing crucial information or that whatever you pitch to others isn’t going to sound as phenomenal to them as it does to you. Instead, use Mercury’s Retrograde as a time to take stock of whatever you’ve already got going on and do your best to polish up and finish existing projects.

This certainly holds true for writing projects (and Mercury Retrograde is a perfect time to edit and revise work). However, it also applies to all areas of your life, from work, money and relationships. Usually, it’s best to not start a new job, get married or begin a new financial chapter in your life now. Polish up your resume, plan your wedding or research investments instead.

DON’T purchase big ticket items. DO comparison shop.
You should not purchase any big ticket item such as a car, computer, appliance or even a piece of jewelry during Mercury’s retrograde for several reasons. First, if it has moving or electronic parts, there’s a good chance that you’ll find a glitch. Repairs are fine (and a perfect prefix) on existing equipment … however no one should have to repair a brand new item! In addition, during Mercury retrograde you might not receive the best bargain if you rush to purchase. If you can wait for your item, it’ll be wiser to shop after Mercury is direct. In the meantime, comparison shop and spend more time thinking about what you really want. You might find that you’ve changed your mind completely by the time Mercury turns direct!

DON’T sign contracts, make verbal agreements or life altering decisions. DO renegotiate, mediate and reconsider existing ones.
This might be the most widely known tip about Mercury Retrograde, but it bears clarification. If at all possible, avoid new agreements! Because once you sign the dotted line or give that handshake, you will likely find that a series of events or misunderstandings cause the initial pact to change or fall apart. Instead, this is a good time to consider a renegotiation. Is your lease up for renewal on your apartment? Now is the time to either shop around or do research on a better agreement to propose to your landlord once Mercury turns direct.

Are you considering asking for a raise? Use this cycle to recognize what you are worth but also to reevaluate whether or not you’re offering your best to the company you work for. If you’re not, now is the time to implement revisions. Are you ready to break up with your lover? Even if your mind is made up, you’ll want to wait. A life altering decision implemented under Mercury retrograde has a waffling effect. You might go through a “make up and break up” phase that is exhausting. If you want a clean break and you’re sure, wait until Mercury is direct. There will be no confusion or second guessing!

DON’T hide under a rock and stop living. DO expect delays and snafus.
Preparation and patience are key during Mercury Retrograde cycles. If, for example, you have a trip planned and you notice it’s during a Mercury Retrograde, don’t cancel your plans and stop living! Instead, consider the added potential for mishaps and prepare accordingly. Recheck your baggage to ensure you’ve packed everything vital. Make sure you have all the proper documentation for your trip. Anticipate delays due to the added issue of miscommunication. Roll with it!

In short, Mercury Retrograde cycles are not meant to be the source of endless aggravation. However, if you go against the flow of this cycle you’re likely to experience more stress. Taking pause every now and then allows us to gain a new perspective and realize what we might have missed in the past. Now we get a chance to fix it and become even stronger because of it … thank you Mercury Retrograde!

Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes Spring 2017

Mercury Retrograde Horoscopes Spring 2017

Get back on the right track during this Mercury Retrograde

This spring, Mercury will retrograde through two zodiac signs, giving us a cosmic opportunity to re-evaluate more than one area of our life in order to make sure we’re on the right track.

On April 9, he’ll turn retrograde at 5 degrees of Taurus. Then on April 20, Mercury will back into Aries, where he’ll remain retrograde until May 3. Re-assessing the material side of your life (Taurus) as well as your personal identity (Aries) during this retrograde will keep your mind extra busy…

Be sure to read your sign’s horoscope below to see what this Mercury Retrograde cycle will bring up in your world!

Aries Horoscope (March 21 – April 19)

Money and identity are very much intertwined. This will be quite an interesting Mercury Retrograde cycle, because you’ll start out revising your ideas and thoughts connected to finances, but by April 20 your concerns will turn toward your self. How are you communicating — or miscommunicating — to others? Is it affecting your ability to earn money? Are you on the right track when it comes to developing your talents? These are a few of the many questions you’ll want to tackle during this time.

Taurus Horoscope (April 20 – May 20)

Initially, you may take a giant step back and realize that your words are not coming out in the way you intend during this Mercury Retrograde. If they are, then there might be something amiss in your delivery, because they are certainly not being received in the correct way by others. Use the first part of this retrograde phase to address this.

After April 20 you might want to spend more time alone revising an important communications-related project. Or, you might rehash unresolved matters during therapy. A breakthrough is possible after May 3 when Mercury turns direct.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – June 20)

You might fly under the radar during the first half of this Mercury Retrograde cycle. There’s something about your communication that you may feel insecure about. If so, until April 20, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to work through it. After the 20th you’ll begin putting it into practice as you notice there’s more happening socially. If you are working on a presentation or speech, this will be a perfect time to have a few practice runs in order to work out any kinks. Schedule it after May 3.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – July 22)

If you’re working on a website, social media campaign, or other internet-related project, there might be a few hiccups to work through during this Mercury Retrograde. After the April 20 you will have an opportunity to revise the strategy you’re taking in order to achieve a significant career goal. You may also realize that this is not the time to start anything new, but instead to perfect what you already have in the works. Your boss will notice. Lastly, be wary of miscommunication to a higher-up. Avoid vital conversations until after May 3 when Mercury is direct again.

Leo Horoscope (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Even if you’re not ready to take on an entirely new career path, it may soon become clear that unless you go back to school or study for a license or certification, you won’t be able to get ahead. Until April 20 you’ll re-evaluate your professional goals, then after this point you’re likely to hit the books. Hire a tutor or ask someone to help you with the more difficult material, since it may not be easy to assimilate on your own until after May 3.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

You might feel as if you’re having a crisis of faith until April 20. Re-evaluating your beliefs or spirituality is likely during the first half of this Mercury Retrograde cycle. Fortunately, you’re likely to have a deep breakthrough that will lead you to your truth.

After the 20th and until May 3, you’re likely to focus on fixing any financial mishaps you discover. Errors in taxes or financial documents may be found just in the nick of time.

Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

During the first portion of this Mercury Retrograde cycle you’re likely to pay close attention to your financial life. One possibility is that you’re applying for a line of credit, student loan, or mortgage. If the paperwork is delayed, be patient. Do what you can to ensure you have submitted all of the proper documentations. Same goes if you are experiencing any frustration with insurance claims.

After April 20 you might have to work through a misunderstanding with your partner in business or in your personal life.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

During the first portion of this Mercury Retrograde cycle you and your partner might feel as if you’re in relationship rehab. There might be extra misunderstandings, so exercise patience. It’ll be a great time, however, to resolve a previously unsettled conversation.

After April 20 you’ll focus on polishing your professional assignments. Expect to spend more time revising your work. Avoid office gossip though — it’ll get out of hand very quickly.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

If you’re going through any health situation, it might feel quite difficult to make a decision regarding what protocol to follow or even what doctor to hire to help treat it during this Mercury Retrograde. Until April 20, spend time doing research on your condition and then be sure to ask your health care provider plenty of questions. Make final decisions after May 3 if possible, when mercury is finally direct.

After April 20, you might notice a strange situation happening regarding your love life. An ex might come back into your life. It should be interesting!

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

Miscommunication between you and your sweetheart or one of your children is possible during this Mercury Retrograde. You might not be able to agree on a major decision and if so, the frustration may not let up until after May 3, when Mercury is moving direct again. Another possibility is that you’ll feel creatively blocked. Use this time as an opportunity — revise your approach to any artistic endeavor. After April 20 you might hear from relatives who fell off the grid. It’ll be nice to reunite.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

This is not the time to sign any real estate contracts if at all possible. On April 9 Mercury turns retrograde in your home and family sector, where he remains until April 20. At that point he’ll retrograde back into your message sector and will not turn direct until May 3. You, more than others, will likely experience frustration connected to contracts, decisions, and other communication-related to domestic matters. Be patient and do what you can to clarify any misunderstandings on your end.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 19 – March 20)

On April 9 Mercury, the planet of communication, will turn retrograde right in the area of your chart ruling all matters of communication — your 3rd house. As a result, until April 20 you’ll be especially sensitive to mishaps during conversations and any type of correspondence from written to telephone to email. Be aware!

On the 20th Mercury will back pedal into your earned income sector, and will retrograde here until May 3. View this as an opportunity to reconcile your finances, despite the initial headaches.

Get A Jump on Tomorrow……

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, April 14th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope

The Moon’s move into your adventure sector today can be uplifting, dear Aries. While you may do battle with conflicting desires to tend to the hearth and break out on your own, the overriding theme of the day seems to be spiritual and emotional growth. Your ruler, Mars, forms a creative aspect with Neptune, reinforcing a need to let your imagination take you places you haven’t been for awhile. Compassionate acts may figure strongly now. There can be unusual dreams that seem to resonate more deeply with you than usual today, both of the night and day variety. Even on this day before a Venus station, which is often a little tricky, you can find reasons to feel inspired.

Taurus

Taurus HoroscopeAgain today, you’re likely to rebel against the routine, dear Taurus, but you can also be quite private or a little withdrawn now. Some of you may be holding on to an exciting secret or simply enjoying more time to think and imagine. Mars in your sign in creative aspect to Neptune today can point to benefits softening your approach to pursuing a desire or asserting yourself. This is not necessarily about being conniving, but more about looking for creative ways to reach your goals, and with retrograde activity particularly strong on your sign, this can be especially helpful today. Tomorrow, Venus turns direct, but don’t be too quick to jump into action.

Gemini

Gemini

The Moon’s move into your partnership sector this morning turns your attention to social matters, dear Gemini, with increasingly less emotional investment in your work and routine. Not all of the usual channels for expressing yourself and making connections seem to be working up to par, and this prompts you to find new ways of making things happen. You may be doing some creative maneuvering behind the scenes now and making some impressive progress. Venus turns direct tomorrow, but while it’s making this shift, it’s better to process and take in than to jump into anything brand new.

Cancer

Cancer

This morning, the Moon moves into your sector of routines and daily affairs, dear Cancer, and you’re more likely to prioritize duties and order over fun and games. This is a fine day for applying yourself to something you deem worthwhile, but doing things completely to plan or in a conventional manner may not fare very well at the moment. You’re better off injecting imagination and spirit into whatever you’re doing. It’s a good time for creative ideas about the future, even if quite a few influences are turning your attention to the past these days. Patience is essential today.

Leo

Leo Glyph Symbol Horoscope

This is not a day for doing everything by the book or according to schedule, dear Leo, but this doesn’t mean you can’t be productive. In fact, you are particularly creative in your approach to your work, bosses, or associates now. Not all of the usual channels for getting your message across are working out smoothly, but this puts you in the position to make the best of things – a place where you naturally shine. The Moon’s move into your pleasure sector this morning further enhances your good mood and spirit. With Venus close to a direct station, exercise patience and allow yourself time to adjust to this shift in direction before making major moves.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol Horoscope

While today and tomorrow are days of a shift in Venus’ direction and patience is important, dear Virgo, you can nevertheless be productive and enjoy some creative thinking and imagining now. The Moon’s move into your sector of home and family this morning can pull you into yourself for some necessary down time. However, a lot is going on under the surface of things now, and you can be feeling quite excited about some of your dreams, which are seeming more and more realizable. It wouldn’t hurt you to break down some of the focus now to let a little more imagination into your plans.

Libra

Libra

In some ways, it can seem as if life is standing still with Venus, your ruler, set to turn direct tomorrow morning but at a station, dear Libra. You may very well feel as if you’re in limbo, waiting for some area of your life to unclog. However, today is not only about waiting, as you have a very creative connection between your solar eighth and sixth houses suggesting good hunches that lead you to just the right information or methods that help you out. Projects already underway and “sure things” can benefit from a more freeform approach today. This morning, the Moon moves into your communications sector, stimulating a need for more movement and mental stimulation in your life.

Scorpio

Scorpio Horoscope

With Venus on the verge of turning direct and Mercury rather newly retrograde, dear Scorpio, this is not an ideal time for clarity in your close relationships. However, actions are speaking louder than words these days, and today is no exception. Sharing activities or working together with someone towards a common goal can be very satisfying now. This can also be a day for rich fantasies and imaginings. You’ll have a stronger desire to bring a dream to life. The Moon moves out of your sign this morning and into your resources sector, helping you to muster up the patience to wait for clearer times to move something forward.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Horoscope

This morning, the Moon moves into your sign, dear Sagittarius, ending a brief theme of relative anonymity. You can experience a greater need to connect with the world around you, to seek out feedback or validation, and to be heard or acknowledged. With Venus about to turn direction, however, it can be a somewhat tricky time to navigate on a social level. There can be some misunderstandings. Even so, you’re in a great position to decompress and allow yourself some extra time to dream and imagine or add creative flourishes to your current ventures, particularly related to home and work endeavors.

Capricorn

Capricorn Horoscope

After some rather busy or socially-focused days, dear Capricorn, the Moon moves into your privacy sector, and you’re entering a short cycle of relative anonymity. It’s a period for increased attention to your inner world, and it comes at a good time for introspection with Venus about to change directions. Venus’ direct shift will have the effect of smoothing out or clarifying certain projects and relationships, but this doesn’t happen in one fell swoop! Take your time and process your feelings now. You can be deeply entranced by your dreams today, finding it very easy to get caught up in your imagination. Plans seem more realizable, but patience is necessary for now.

Aquarius

Aquarius

This is not an ideal time for new projects or launches, dear Aquarius, and it’s not great for clarity and warmth in relationships, either. This temporary lull is about directional shifts and isn’t personal! However, you don’t have to act as if you are stuck or in limbo, particularly with a Mars-Neptune influence today that points to real benefits to decompressing, slowing down, and taking a step back from what you’re doing so that you can look at it in a more creative way. Today is also good for money and home affairs – you’re finding unique ways to make yourself feel more secure and comfortable.

Pisces

Pisces

You can be feeling particularly energetic now, dear Pisces. With Venus reaching a station early tomorrow, today and tomorrow require restraint and patience. Brand new beginnings may not thrive now. Further, if they did happen to take off, you might change your mind later. However, this is a good time for fabulous ideas and inspired work on endeavors you already have in the works. There can be engaging conversations and unusual news or surprising coincidences. You are adding more color and flair to all that you do now.

If You Were Born Today, April 13

Roses for You On Your Special Day

If You Were Born Today, April 13

You are a success-oriented person. Although you may not actively pursue success, it tends to come to you anyhow as you work determinedly. While you are willing to take some risks, you are basically very security-conscious. You rarely ask for help, feeling that if you can’t learn or do something on your own, it is somehow not very satisfying. You can be a bit of a workaholic and should try to avoid being so consumed by your work that your personal life suffers. Famous people born today: Thomas Jefferson, Don Adams, Ron Perlman.

Your Birthday Year Forecast

Your birthday occurs around a First Quarter Moon this year, and you are reaching an important turning point in terms of personal growth. You may be more emotional this year, and should watch for unnecessary conflicts and making hasty decisions as a result. Otherwise, this is a year of great energy, motivation, and growth. You are more ambitious and desirous of action in the year ahead. This should be a busy, dynamic period in your life.

You have a special way with people this year, and your personal magnetism is strong. Making connections with others comes more easily, particularly on romantic and creative levels.

With Uranus electrifying your Sun this year, you can expect a rather liberated and interesting period ahead. Changes are in store for you, and they’re likely to be very positive if you recognize and honor your need for newness in your life. This influence brings about big changes, sudden events, unanticipated disruptions, and surprising situations into your life. These happenings are likely to have a major impact on your character, vitality, and individuality. You may feel the urge to break out and embrace new and exciting things. Life will be exciting–and the changes positive–if you go with the flow. If you deny your urge for change, feelings of restlessness and rebelliousness will unexpectedly erupt, prompting sudden lunges for freedom that can have surprising results and reactions. This influence stimulates your creativity, excitability, self-will, and originality. Sudden flashes of insight increase your spiritual awareness. You may become more outspoken, even rebellious. Career breaks or changes are possible. Alternatively, you might change the direction of your life path to suit the “new you”. Unexpected events may cause you to rethink some of your goals and ambitions. In the area of relationships, there could be sudden attachments and equally sudden breakups. Ongoing connections with others may also undergo abrupt fluctuations.

Transiting Saturn harmonizes with your Sun from January forward, however, and this can be a steadying, helpful influence. You are practical in your choices (for the most part), keeping your feet on the ground and paying attention to, and honoring, tradition as well as tried-and-true methods. You have the power of practicality, realism, and caution on your side in the year ahead. Work you have done in the past begins to pay off this year–not necessarily in dramatic ways, but in small, measurable ways. You may be recognized or rewarded in some way for the efforts you put forth. Because you project a more responsible and credible “you”, people in authority are more inclined to appreciate you and recognize your work.

Your ability to express yourself and to solve problems is enhanced this year. You may have opportunities to travel, and matters related to publishing, teaching, and writing should go especially well. You could also have big ideas and plans, as your mind is filled with ideas. The desire to expand your mind is strong, and this is a good year to take up studies or to further your education. It’s also excellent for teaching and speaking. With greater receptivity to new ideas and perspectives, you are more likely to attract positive energies into your life. You are likely to be popular with others when it comes to your ideas and communications, especially as you are communicating with optimism and cheerfulness, and this can bring rewarding experiences and opportunities into your life.

This is a good year, generally speaking, for motivation levels regarding work or projects and personal interests. There can be opportunities to pursue absorbing topics and projects of interest. More joy and meaning can be found in your work or obligations.

You are more sensitive artistically, your imagination is stirred, and you have an increased appreciation for subtleties. You are inspired and could even inspire others with your words. Some of your hunches could be prophetic. You are thinking more creatively, and express yourself with more sensitivity, compassion, and warmth.

However, you need to be aware of a tendency to be attracted to impractical ventures at times this year. As well, your energy can vary greatly from one period to the next, so take advantage of the “high” periods in order to offset the possible loss in productivity during the low-energy stages.

Relationships can be motivating this year, as a partner or good friend may inspire you to pursue your dreams and goals. You are playfully competitive and might win a major competition, if applicable. This is a good period for creative projects and joining with others in pursuing a common goal.

Your personality is sparkling, and you’re ready to take on new projects and experience new things. The second half of the year is particularly good for getting your life on track through improved work, attention to practical details, and increased self-discipline overall, although there will be times when you battle with varying energy levels. Positive plans and lifestyle changes can be made at this time in your life. Personal magnetism runs high.

 

2016 is a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It’s generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice – take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.

2017 will be a Number Nine year for you. Ruled by Mars. This is a year of completion and transition. It is a time when we need to let go of things that no longer serve their purpose, and hold on to things that have a future. It is a time of cleaning out dead wood, not necessarily for new beginnings. It can be a time when a burden has been taken off your shoulders, and it can be a year of giving of yourself. Advice – let go of things that are holding you back, give of yourself and express your sympathetic, compassionate side.

Your Daily Horoscopes for April 13th

Your Daily Horoscopes for April 13th

Aries

Aries Horoscope

The Sun and Uranus are forming an alignment in your sign, dear Aries, and you can be itching for a change! Your rebellious side can emerge. However, you’ll be in the best position if you answer to a genuine need to make changes and progress rather than just reacting to limits or restrictions. You may be feeling especially alive and excitable today. You are taking people by surprise with your choices or actions. This is a time when you want to reinvent yourself concerning your personal manner or appearance, although significant reconfigurations are best saved until after Venus turns direct and Venus returns to your sign (late April and early May). Make your stand but avoid going to extremes. Your individuality, uniqueness, and free spirit are all in the spotlight now. While there is certainly an exciting, edgy quality to the day, you can also be extremely productive now, particularly around the home.

Taurus

Taurus Horoscope

With the Sun and Uranus coming together in your solar twelfth house today, dear Taurus, something from your past or deep inside you can emerge and surprise you. An awakening or sudden awareness is figuring strongly now, and it’s meant to get you past an obstacle. A private matter can reveal itself and may very well open the doors to a healing process or a “next step” moment. There can be uncanny coincidences or meetings now, and these can change your entire focus. Secrets or past lovers might surface for some of you, but if this happens, it may, in fact, help you to detach yourself from the past. If you’re resisting change or fearful of what’s next, then you may be dealing with inner restlessness now, and if this is the case, then it’s time to get in better touch with what’s causing discontent. While a lot is going on behind closed doors or under the hood today, it’s also an intense time for producing, organizing, and dedicated energy to studies or projects.

Gemini

Gemini

This can be a day of interesting surprises, dear Gemini, some of which may be coming from your friends or networks, and others from within you. You can detach yourself from situations just enough to make bold moves or to enjoy yourself more thoroughly without overthinking things today. Events, moments, meeting, thoughts, and coincidences may stimulate a new goal, dream, hope, or ideal. There can be teamwork or a group setting that encourages new thinking. You’re not content with restrictions and limits right now as you seek out change, excitement, and newness. While plans may not work as expected and this can be initially disorienting, the detours you take now can be quite magnificent. You may be reaching out into new social territory. However, do keep in mind that Mercury, your ruler, is retrograde, and so is Venus for a couple of days longer, and new beginnings may not yet get off the ground. Laying the groundwork is possible now. You may be seeking out unconventional friends and alliances, and while this has been a trend for some time now, it’s a stronger theme today than usual.

Cancer

Cancer

This is an excellent time for activities with friends, dear Cancer. You can be very productive as well on a pet project now. There can be some surprises today with the Sun and Uranus coming to an alignment at the top of your solar chart. This influence is designed to shake things up a little and can see you hungering for a fresh start or increased freedom. You are slightly more detached than usual when it comes to work, reputation, and finances, and this can lead to bolder moves. Some of you could be dealing with some form of job instability or inner stirrings that have you feeling rebellious against the path you’re currently taking, or perhaps against authority figures. Your image or reputation may face changes. Do keep in mind that much of what’s going on now should be treated as inspiration, as it’s not the best time to move things forward in formal ways. Resisting change or creating change without meaning both can lead to disorientation – somewhere in between is best!

Leo

Leo Glyph Symbol Horoscope

This can be a powerful day for working hard for what you believe in, dear Leo. With Mercury and Venus both retrograde, it’s great that Mars is in such good shape, and since it’s at the top of your solar chart, pouring dedicated energy into your career or professional image can be useful. There is also electric energy in the air, and it’s in harmony with your sign. You’re in a great position to find inspiration, particularly if you branch out and explore places or topics you wouldn’t normally explore. Opportunities to learn, teach, and travel can be sudden and exciting, and interactions and ventures tend to be mind-opening right now. Your enthusiasm is also attracting support or positive attention from others. Your thinking, belief systems, education, travel plans, legal matters, or projects can involve surprises. Your unique ideas, approach, or guidance can be in the spotlight now.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol Horoscope

The need for change is real right now, dear Virgo, but if you’re not in touch with this need, you may act out, rebel, and react. As such, it’s important to recognize that you need to make improvements, overturn expectations, and perhaps break some of your usual routines so that you can grow and thrive. The desire to make significant lifestyle changes can be healthy as you’re no longer satisfied with the status quo. Disrupted plans can stimulate a change in dependencies, spending, or deeply ingrained habits. There can be unique attractions or a desire to push others’ boundaries. You may need to take a break from overthinking things or worrying, and this may be just the right time for doing so. Use this time for a boost of courage to make a change that’s meaningful to you, but do keep in mind that both Venus and Mercury are retrograde and major new beginnings are not appropriate now.

Libra

Libra

Fresh energy is brought to your relationships with others today, dear Libra, and particularly to one-on-one pairings, negotiations, and partnerships. People may be bringing surprises into your life, or you may awaken to relationship needs. No matter what the case, you tend to begin fresh on some level related to your connections. You may have a hard time accepting rules and limitations now, or you could find that a partner or special friend is rebelling against you. Unpredictability may be disorienting, but it can also lead to a new understanding of what you need and what you’re capable of on your own. Alternatively, through someone else’s input, you may arrive at an exciting new perspective. This can be a good time for making a commitment to put outdated methods of relating behind you. While your social life can be somewhat up in the air, today is quite excellent for hard work. You may find it easier than usual to dedicate a part of your day to a practical and useful project.

Scorpio

Scorpio Horoscope

The long-term transit of routine-bucking Uranus through your sector of routines has been an unusual one, dear Scorpio! Today’s Sun-Uranus alignment pulls up this theme and awakens you to the need to make changes or progress. Uranus is not here to take routine out of your life but to have you question certain elements of your daily life or work and habits that are no longer serving you well. Changes in plans today can lead you on the path to discovery of new methods to improve wellness and other systems in your life. If you’ve been stifled or confined in your work or restricted from getting out and about, then you’ll be itching to change things up now. Beyond breakthroughs, this day is also good for pouring energy into a special project or even a person. Shared activities are once again well-favored.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Horoscope

You’re in excellent shape for getting things done today, dear Sagittarius, although it may not appear this way as you tend to approach things rather unusually or even haphazardly. There is method to this madness, however! In fact, you are motivated and inspired. The Sun and Uranus align in harmony with your sign and this points to a tendency to work with this somewhat erratic and disruptive energy rather than against it. This helps you to see where change is necessary instead of resisting it and letting it mess with your life. Romantic and creative matters can be surprising, changeful, and stimulating. You may want to stand out for your unique creations or personality now. This is not the time to do the same old things or to approach others in the usual way – opportunities open up as you make changes and breathe fresh life into your projects and relationships. Even so, avoid overly abrupt moves as both Mercury and Venus are retrograde, and not all is likely to go over swimmingly now.

Capricorn

Capricorn Horoscope

With the Sun and Uranus meeting up at the bottom of your solar chart, dear Capricorn, you’re likely to feel some very distinct inner rumblings. Discontent with the usual routine or with your living arrangements can emerge quite strongly now. You can have an adamant urge to break free of limitations that have kept you from exploring and discovering new ways to live or to express yourself. Uranus always brings with it a fair amount of detachment, and this can help you move out of your comfort zone so that you can make changes that are necessary for your growth. Because Uranus is in conflict with your sign, this can be a harder lesson for you than others, and your first instinct may be to resist change. However, if you choose to make small moves instead of dramatic ones now, and resolve to make these changes one step at a time, you’ll effectively build your confidence about changing things up in general. Falling back on the same old conditioned approaches in relationships will only frustrate you today, so aim to make progress with a new style or plan. This way, you may be breaking out of the mold that others have created for you, especially if this pattern has felt particularly limiting recently.

Aquarius

Aquarius

This can be an excellent day for reworking or reorganizing around the home or office, dear Aquarius. You may throw yourself into a task that’s truly worthwhile now. On another level today, there can be quite a bit of mental excitement or news that excites you, perhaps disturbing your schedule or routine at the same time. You may find that you can’t always rely on the usual channels for expressing yourself these days, but that answering to your inner rhythms and responding to intuitive cues can lead you in the right direction. Others may be treating you with more acceptance or fairness now. Your ideas, advice, or guidance might stand out as particularly unique. Conversations, news, and information coming to you now can be catalysts for a new interest or method, or possibly a whole new path. While this is not the time for major launches, you can feel quite inspired to make improvements, and you can certainly set the stage for future progress.

Pisces

Pisces

You can experience a strong desire to unburden yourself of excess possessions or clutter, dear Pisces, but do be careful that you don’t throw out something of value, as this is a distinct possibility with Venus still retrograde and nearing its station. The Sun and Uranus meet up in your resources sector, and this can stimulate a whole new approach to money and things. Circumstances are such that you’re more acutely aware of what you’ve been holding onto both emotionally and physically, and how some of this may be holding you back. Whims are sometimes great, but they don’t always work in your favor. It may be a good idea to work with your inspiration and play with it in your mind a while or jot things down before making final decisions. And, while you are at it, you might want to take notes about new ideas that come to you about business, work, and money, as these can be very innovative and useful to return to at a later date when new launches have a better chance to take off. There is excellent energy for throwing yourself into an editing project or studies today, however.

Metatron Activates Your 3rd Eye

Metatron Activates Your 3rd Eye

The Goddess began this channel by speaking about the changes taking place. Once in the All That Is, Metatron came forth and activated everyone’s 3rd eye! He spoke of the long time changes that have taken place.  He spoke of the support that is now here for us.  He spoke about how the activation of the 3rd eye for all present was also stimulating the pineal gland which is a way of balancing these energies in our physical self.  He confirmed many of the changes taking place. He spoke of the fact that a number of the angels would be manifesting in our reality; mostly at the high 5th to 6th dimensions.  He also spoke of how we can now teleport as we align with these energies.

The Goddess of Creation is God/ Goddess as source.  This is a very high vibration that could not come into the earth until year 2000.  Therefore, sometimes she is not as aware of the specifics in history or what it is to be human.  Metatron, on the other hand, is very aware of physicality, how we struggle and the merging of ego with soul.

This is a very powerful channel filled with exciting changes!

Shelly

Nama sika Venia benya, I AM the One, I AM the Whole

I greet you beloved family.  I reach out from my heart to yours.  I reach out to embrace all who are here and to invite you to embrace your own self taking this moment to just be in the space of who you are.

So often people get busy in their everyday lives.  So often you’re feeling the impact of the energies as they come into the Earth and it may knock you off kilter.  So often you may be picking up on energies from experiences that are happening in your community, or around the world, that really has nothing to do with you, but yet you feel that energy and you take it on.  So often your daily life becomes enmeshed with tasks, with responsibilities so much so that you forget to take time for yourself.

When you join me for these teleconferences this is an opportunity for you to bask in the energies of God and Goddess, of your own divine light energy, so that it may become a stronger bond between you the human and you as your divine essence.

There have been tremendous transformations in the energy upon the Earth most especially over the last two to three years. There have been so many years of release, release, release that this year is now a year of integration in your life.  A big part of that moving forward is for you to get to know who you are. Not as the mother, father, brother, sister, worker, giver, receiver; whatever that may be that are the tasks in your everyday life. But you the person that represents your immense divine essence of your soul.

When I speak about taking time for yourself this is the foundation.  You the human is having the life experience that you are having.  Your soul is there anchoring you, supporting you, helping you in all that you do.  Take this opportunity and perhaps put forth the intention, that whether you are conscious or unconscious of it, there will be some time during your day in which you open to your divinity and you receive the flow and the reboot that takes place within your physical body.

Many of you have known that during your sleep state you go and have many, many adventures. Sometimes you spend that time with your higher self-talking about the day that just passed and perhaps working on something you are seeking to manifest. Sometimes you will go to places of healing.  There are many ships that are out in the universe.  The majority of which have places for meetings, or gatherings, or healings, because you were going into that vibration that is you as source.

Sometimes in your dream state, or your sleep state, you gather your angels and your guides around you.  They are here with you all the time, but that is your opportunity to be with them in a conscious way.

Yes I hear you.  You are saying if I’m sleeping I’m not conscious of it.  I would say to consider your sleep state as that step down from your higher self to your everyday reality.  (This is true) because, sometimes you remember your dreams; because what happens in your dreams can manifest to assist you in your everyday life.  So too many of your dreams are just chaotic without a direct relation to your life.

So my intention as I speak of this is to remind you that this is a place to help you, but also there’s no need to get concerned about it or let your everyday mental body get focused upon it, because it is there as a part of you as the human, and you as your divine.

Take in another breath where you really breathe down through your energy bodies.  As you do so send that breath of light all the way down into you your own self, but then down to the Earth.  As you connect with the Earth allow that intention, that breath, that energy to just spread out going in many different directions.  There you go and as this energy anchors you it allows your consciousness to shift so that it moves into a much higher light vibration.  It therefore goes out through the top of your head and you immediately stream into the space of your higher self.

As you look around recognize that your higher self is that is of creation to you.  So it may look like a particular location.  It may be a sense of just emptiness.  It is completely your creation.  Just know that it is that step or two upwards so that you can have a more expanded perspective of your life.

Therefore as you allow your focus to be there in a very conscious manner look around.  Perhaps you have a sense of things that are here representing your everyday life.  You can connect with that or not, but then have a sense of letting your consciousness moving out even further.

There is a stream of light that moves from you the human all the way out to your divinity, and there’s this stream of consciousness that takes you into your divinity.  Have a sense, not only of feeling your whole consciousness expand, but have a sense of receiving the unconditional love, that fullness, that acceptance for who you are because your divinity fully love you and supports you.  Feel the flow.

l the Goddess walk in and amongst each one of you.  I reach out to embrace you as the consciousness of your divinity, you as the consciousness of your human self so that as we blend our energies together I amplify and reflect back to you all of who you are as we move into the All That Is.  Whenever we arrive within this space it feels as if there’s a sense of celebration, there’s a sense of anticipation, of joy, of acceptance, of that awareness that you chose to come here seeking this clearer vibration of yourself;  seeking to create change in your life, seeking to perhaps understand who you are in a deeper sense.

There are a number of Angels and Light beings that are joining us this evening.  I invite you to have a sense of everyone joining together in what looks like an amphitheater.  It’s as if there are stair steps that go up creating a space for everyone to find a place a place to be.

As you get settled in Metatron is here and would like to speak with you.  I would like to invite you to see perhaps a platform or a stage created for him, but you also see around him Melchizedek, St Germain, Kuthumi, Mother Mary, Quan Yin.  There is a whole stream of people, of energies, that I coming to share this time with you as they work with your own vibration.  I will step aside as we invite Metatron to come and speak with us at this time.

Metatron Speaks:

I greet you from my heart to yours.  I reach out to all who are here.  I speak to you at this time, because of the dramatic transformations taking place upon the Earth.  I as Metatron have a direct link into every single human who is upon the Earth.  I, therefore, have been asking to speak with this group for a while.  Goddess is always busy with what she is doing with you so I needed to put my name on her energetic calendar!  The lucky thing is that in this time space reality I do not have a linear calendar therefore whatever time we agree upon is perfect for me to speak with you! 

How many of you feel as if you are more than just this lifetime?  How many of you have perspectives or perceptions of other lifetime, and you sometimes question are you disoriented or if you are getting confused about events that are happening in your life?  How many of you are in that place where you were saying to me year after year after year this is not what I signed up for.  This is way too hard.  I’m tired of it.  I’m ready to go home.  I see the hands.  

I wish to speak to you off a couple of different things.  First of all with this transformation of the energy upon the Earth that has taken place which is allowed that 5th-dimensional vibration to be so prevalent upon your Earth.   You each have the ability to speak with the aspects of your own soul with a much greater ease.  When you come on these journeys with the Goddess you are anchoring your physical reality.  You are allowing your consciousness to stream to a higher, light vibration and your thoughts and your mental party still have that perception of what’s going on.  Some of you may get here and feel it.  Some of it you may see things distinctly.  Others of you may just feel it is equal to your everyday reality.

I wish to take this time so that each one of you if you will just close your eyes for a moment and have that sense of letting your focus and your awareness beyond your 3rd eye. I am working with everyone’s 3rd eye so as to clear out any old energy or debris; so as to strengthen the alignment with this and your pineal gland, so as to activate and strengthen that alignment within you.  If you feel a lot of pressure in your head just stretch out your energy, clear it out so that you can feel better. 

When I have said that the transformation upon the Earth is unique to this time space reality this is not spoken out of turn.  I have been here with my friends (speaking of Melchizedek, The Ancient Ones, etc.) from the very beginning of time when people came to the Earth. Some were here… okay, let me back up… when the star beings came to the Earth.  There were those indigenous people who were not from the stars that were already upon the Earth and some of you are them.  Our intention as we noticed it and thought what a beautiful potential for growth and expansion and this is why you are here.  There was, of course, a group who spoke with Gaia.  We had her full permission. 

One of the things that was chosen as an intention was to have complete free will.  Many of the places out here live as a collective consciousness.  I recognize the collective consciousness of the Earth, but every single soul is different and unique.  Every single soul has the potential to create their own life.  Every single soul is living lifetime, upon lifetime, upon lifetime with the intention of their own personal growth.  When you are out there in the universe you do have that uniqueness of the different soul, but if one person feels pain everybody feels pain.  If one person has an accomplishment everybody has an accomplishment.  They know nothing different. 

As your Earth continues to vibrate so solidly within the fifth dimension you are leaning towards that type of collective consciousness.  Already there are groups of you who can feel this and participate in this type of awareness.  Within the third dimensional reality of your Earth, it is very hard to conceive what that may be.  Therefore this is one of the transformations that is taking place because the Earth is vibrating at this high level. 

In the higher Vibrations, your physical body is going to transform dramatically.  What you choose to eat may be different.  You may not eat as much as you needed to before.  Your physical reality for many people is going to be more transparent, because of the integration of even higher vibrations. 

As you feel this physical transformation taking place.  You may feel it as aches and pains in your bones.  You may feel your body as being sometimes weaker and sometimes stronger.  You may feel that alignment with your thoughts and beliefs transforming.  The integration between soul and ego is going to continue in a unique way. You are already feeling these changes taking place and people are in all various stages of the spectrum of transformation.  Be aware that as with everything there is no right or wrong there is just your experience which is your own. 

There is a great deal of clearing out that has taken place in the collective consciousness of the Earth.  There has been a release of millions of stuck energies that represented the souls that did not transition fully when the physical body died.  There has been a great deal of transformation around the lower vibrations such as fear, anger and everything that goes along with that.  The only reason it continues to be evident is that there are those that are still stuck and therefore they keep speaking about it, or writing about it, or blogging about it, or posting about it, or hashtagging about it.  They are simply on their own journeys in the space which they are. 

For you my beloved friends you can let it go.  You can release that and if you find yourself reading about it, and reading about it, and reading about it, you’re getting hooked in again.  So the question comes to you how long are you going to be hocked into that energy?  How quickly can you release it and let it go?  For some, it may be seconds.  For others, it may be minutes, hours or days. 

Again remember that you, no matter who you are, have this vibration that is a direct link with your divinity.  We activated your third eye.  You have been activating your crystalline light body.  Let these be parts of your everyday life, so that they may assist you in living this life in an expanded state of awareness and balance. 

I recognize that the Goddess of Creation is here for a very specific reason.  She is all encompassing.  She is masculine and feminine.  She is a vibration of unconditional love and this is what the earth needed and what each of you needed since you are drawn to this group channelings.  I as Metatron am well aware of how it is to be human.  You may see some of us walking upon the Earth with you.  You may see the Starships come and closer to help you.  You may see aspects of your own self from your own divinity here and present with you as it assists you. 

You are not alone.  You are extremely evolved.  You have the ability to manifest anything you seek in your life.  Look around you this has been created by all of you and supported by all of us and it is integrated into all this universe in which you live.  I am so very pleased to be a part of you. 

When I speak of us manifesting upon the Earth it will be in those places that have the higher vibration.  So while we may want to go down into the nitty gritty of what is happening that low, low vibration is very painful for us.  We, therefore, seek to vibrate……. we don’t really even come to 5th Dimension we come to the 6th maybe.  However, the more that you are in the 5th-dimensional reality the more access you have to the 6th dimension and more, and there are places all around the world that vibrate at these very high light vibrations, and those other places where it is easiest for us to come in and share time with you.

For some, it may be that you sense us energetically.  For some, you may see it physically.  Be aware that the more you transform the more that you would have the potential to teleport from one location to the other.  To come physically on to the ships if you so choose.  All is possible. 

As the energy continues to transform upon the Earth be aware that you are the ones that are anchoring and balancing this vibration.  Be aware that Gaia continues to work with us.  Most particularly right now with the crystalline vibration coming in it is activating those places within Gaia so as to create an anchor and a balance.  

I wanted to speak to you to say that I am here.  I wanted to speak with you so as to create this vibrational alignment that will assist you through the link with me.  I am eager to see where this next level of communication takes us. 

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your gathering and know that I have great love for you.

The Goddess of Creation

Greetings once more it is the Goddess. I love when these other energies choose to be a part of our time together.  They bring such a different dynamic into our space of healing and transformation.  We are not alone just as you are not alone.  The greater the alignment that is created with all of these Masters and Light beings the greater your potential to transform with ease upon the Earth.

As I look at each one of you I see everyone with bright stars shining in your forehead.  I see each one of you with even more of that crystalline vibration surrounding you in your aura.  For those of you that wish to have it I send out the vibration of balance and the vibration of acceptance so you go to that deeper level of acceptance within you.

This was an opportunity to share with you and remind you that you have all of this potential.  You can access all of it through your I AM presence.  You can access it through coming into here to the All That Is.  If you can when I speak of this moment of acceptance accept that you are transforming.  Accept that your 3rd eye has been cleared out and activated as has your Pineal Gland.  Accept that you now have the potential to see things in a new way.  Accept that the potential to teleport is higher and higher in your physical reality.

All of what he said is for all of humanity upon the Earth.  It is not just for one or two.  It is for everyone.  For those who may be unconscious of this it is still working with them creating potential, creating a foundation, helping to transform all of reality.

There was a great deal of energy work done on each one of you as Lord Metatron spoke. So I ask you take a moment and let that all wash through, letting it integrate, and then allowing potential to flow within and around you.

I invite you to come back together in a circle.  As we do so you have a sense of that Hologram coming up from within the center of you.  Metatron himself is infusing a great deal of energy into the Hologram as are all the other Angels and Lightbeings.  For you I invite you to take a moment and just get in touch with whatever it was that was most prominent as Metatron spoke when you accepted potential and opportunities.

Then you send that into the Hologram.  You send all into the Hologram so that it can integrate on every level.  The Hologram itself begins to sparkle and take on its own vibration.  Each one of you can feel that which is changing and clearing out and activating in the collective consciousness; kind of focused into this space at this time.

Then you release it as if everyone takes a step back and that Hologram flows down from here in the All That Is.  It moves into the Earth and there is that piece of it goes out into the Universe and it aligns creating balance between the Universe and the Earth.   We follow it as it goes down into the Earth.  It anchors within Gaia connecting with the crystals, the magnetic center of the Earth and then it moves up through all levels that have created Gaia.  As it moves through all these levels it comes up through the Earth itself and it is coming up within you.

You already sent your consciousness down into the Earth and it anchors you so that it connects to everything bringing it back in you.  As you breathe deeply you bring all that energy back up into your heart center and then send it consciously into your 3rd eye and let that go out from you. Allow all that vibration and all that energy wash through you coming up through your energy bodies, your physical, your mental, your emotional bodies creating balance and expansion within you.

So too this expansion comes up through the grass, the trees, the water creating a place of activation for anyone who is ready to step into this potential.  There is a clearing out of the collective consciousness and a deeper integration within the collective consciousness of the Earth.

I invite you to once more as if you are opening up your heart center, go back touching into that part of you within the All That Is and have a sense of bringing it back to you.  It flows through the I AM presence.  It flows down through your Higher Self and as you breathe down into your heart center you’re bringing all of your expansion back within you.  You’re bringing all of that energy from the Earth up within you so that you can be in this place of awareness, this place of expansion, this place of acceptance and allowing.  You can feel it.  You can integrate it and you can know it.

All right beloved family as you move through the next couple of weeks upon the Earth, recognize that you will feel the energies of Metatron in and around you on very consistent bases.  Be open to this integration of your third eye as it expands and balances.  Become aware of the many gifts that you have and are working with upon the Earth.  There is so much integration taking place.  There is so much opportunity that is here for you right now.

Beloved family I feel such joy and love in my heart for you.

Ansaluia.

April – May 2017: Mercury Retrograde in Taurus & Aries and Conjunct Uranus

April – May 2017: Mercury Retrograde in Taurus & Aries and Conjunct Uranus

Intrepid Peace

Mercury is retrograde between 9th April and 3rd May 2017 (GMT). Beginning in grounded and consistent Taurus and retreating into impulsive and instinctual Aries on 20th April, it highlights where we set anchor and strive to remain when in fact we should move on through. Conditions maintained through fear, laziness or uncertainty will become increasingly problematic in the weeks and months to come. This Mercury speaks of the need to trust our instincts over and above the reason of ‘common sense’ logic. There exists great mystery within this process. We may find ourselves thinking in ways we never have before, considering options that have seemed too outlandish to contemplate. We may encounter new sides to our self which take some getting to know and whilst we can sense their potential, to others they may feel like a threat to the status quo.

The developmental arc of this retrograde curves towards the final week of April and the first two weeks of May, which takes us beyond the end of Mercury’s retrograde journey. During this time, Mercury is conjunct Uranus and (more briefly) Eris in Aries, heralding unexpected revelations and fresh insight that could turn our world upside down. The power of the spoken and written word is amplified by this alliance, such that being considerate in our expression whilst still striving to speak the truth is essential. The notion that sticks and stones can break our bones but words do no harm whatsoever couldn’t be more wrong at this time! Careless speech now could trigger a chain of events that change the world as we know it, for good or ill, so wise and compassionate speech aimed at building bridges, not barriers, is vital. The more people who can remain open to hearing difficult truths, facing unpalatable people and still seeking reconciliation where only division has existed before, the better, for this is a time full of raw power and it is we – every one of us – who is charged with using it wisely.

If conflict seems impossible to avoid, we must act to de-escalate and normalise rather than impose our will and insist on having things our way. This doesn’t mean we must let ourselves be walked over, but seeking even the most obvious common ground – we all breathe the same air, my breath in your lungs, your breath in mine – can help take the heat out of difference and create space for a meeting of hearts and minds. We must allow fierce compassion to shape our choices and guide our way, standing strong in the face of abuse of power and exploitation of the vulnerable, whilst softened around the edges of divisive rhetoric which sustains a polarised and hateful narrative. We are called to be spiritual warriors now, emboldened not by weapons of war but by the seeds of intrepid peace sown in the fertile soil of our daily lives.

This Mercury retrograde provides an opportunity to adjust our alignment and review our allegiances to both people and circumstance. If we regret choices made or unmade in recent months, rest assured they’re not yet set in stone and the opportunity to choose again has arrived. With relationships still in the spotlight we may have to react in new ways to old dynamics, or adopt tried and trusted behaviours in new situations. Finding the most productive combination of past and present will help birth a dynamic and more fulfilling future for all concerned, even if it doesn’t quite feel that way right now!
