April 2014 – Lunar & Planetary Energetics

The moon and its position within our celestial sky holds a powerful frequency that affects our day to day beingness here on Earth.  The moons electro-magnetic frequency as it waxes and wanes each month effects our physiology, our emotional/mental responses and spiritual potential.

The energy from the New Moon up to the Full Moon is gradually building in strength and intensity;  thus the New Moon is a great time to set your intentions, write down goals or begin new projects for the forthcoming cycle.  Consider sitting in ceremony or personal meditation and affirming to the Universe your intentions & inner-most heartfelt desires for the cycle.

From Full Moon to the New Moon the energy is gradually decreasing in strength and intensity… thus is a time to release and let go of any areas in your life that no longer serve your higher purpose.  The Full Moon is a perfect time to connect in ceremony (personal or group), light a candle and release/transmute through sacred ritual that which no longer serves.

All times are Queensland Australian Eastern Standard Time (QAEST with NO daylight savings) unless otherwise indicated. Nearest capital city is Brisbane in the State of Queensland, Australia.  Please not that daylight savings ends in Australia (NSW & VIC) on Sunday 6th April (clocks move back one hour).

Lunar_Eclipse

TOTAL Lunar Eclipse – 15 April 2014

Maximum Eclipse 5:46pm AEST
View time/best locations to see the Eclipse >

A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Moon is full and the Earth blocks the Suns rays from partially/fully reaching the Moon, thus the Moon is cast within the Earth’s shadow.

A Lunar Eclipse provides a quantum opportunity to release deep-seated wounds, move beyond old fears and to transcend negative patterns or traits within the shadow self.  It is time to ECLIPSE anything that maybe holding you back. During a Lunar Eclipse it is an opportune time to do much inner-work, and illuminate yourself from the inside-out.

You will be inspired during the Eclipse/Full Moon to open your gifts to higher degrees of frequency and anchor these on the Earthly plane.  It is time to take ownership and acknowledge your divine magnificence and shine brightly from within.  Honouring of spiritual unity in humanity.

Cardinal Grand Cross – 23/24 April 2014

Cardinal_Grand_Cross_SqApril 2014 heralds a very rare astrological event, where four planets (PLUTO opposing JUPITER  &  MARS opposing URANUS), are at exact 900 angles  to one another, hence forming a Grand Cross in our celestial skies.

In addition, each of these planets are sitting at ’13 degrees’ of the 4 CARDINAL signs (Pluto 13 degrees Capricorn, Jupiter 13 degrees Cancer, Mars 13 degrees Libra & Uranus 13 degrees Aries).  Plus Mars is Retrograde (appearance of going backwards) during the Cardinal Grand Cross Alignment.

Please read my full article on the Cardinal Grand Cross to understand more about this transformation astrological event:

New_Moon_PTuesday, 29 March 2014, 4:14 pm
Maximum Annular Solar Eclipse
: 4:04pm
Moon & Sun in TAURUS
Moon – past, Intuition, unconscious, emotions, nurturing, feelings
Sun – now, Identity, consciousness, self-esteem, expression
TAURUS (Earth) – Patient, pleasure-loving, material, determined, conservative

Our April New Moon falls in Taurus – thus this is the perfect time to be practical about your life and review what is it you need in order to make your souls physical existence a more comfortable one.

The vibration of Taurus brings with it determination, focus, ‘stick your heals in and get things done’ energy. As we move into this new moon, make a gratitude list of all the things in your life that make you ‘wealthy’ on the inside and out… even if it doesn’t already exist in the your life, add it to the list and be grateful for it.

Now make a list of how you can share that ‘wealth’ with others. Just by making the committment to share your wealth, you are creating more wealth and bringing abundance of wealth for all to share ….joy, hope, opportunity, healthful food for all, medical care, loving relationships and compassion for all.

Channel the Taurean energy this new moon, to create a practical vision for a new world.

Annular Solar Eclipse – 29 April 2014

Solar Eclipse Ring of FireMaximum Eclipse 5:17pm AEST
View time/best locations to see the Eclipse >

On the 29 April 2014 we have an ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE.  A Solar Eclipse occurs on the New Moon, whereby the Moon moves between the Earth and Sun, obscuring Earth’s view of the Sun.

This will be an ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE as the Sun behind the Moon will be seen as a very bright ring of light (an annulus) around the dark disk of the Moon.. ie thus the Moon will be emblazoned with a ‘Ring of Fire’ (see image right).  This occurs as the Moon is it’s furthest distance away from Earth, thus the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun.

The energy of a Solar Eclipse ‘obscures’ our vision forward, such that we can take time to reflect on the present and truthfully see how this relates to our past.  The veil of illusion is parted during a Solar Eclipse and the opportunity to see/be/feel/experience our truths unfolds.

The insights gained are not about dragging up old energy, or reliving painful events or experiences, but rather to positively reassess where you have been and use this knowledge to make quantum leaps on your path moving forward.

Whilst a Solar Eclipse can create upheaval in your life, this ‘forced’ opportunity to reassess or re-evaluate your life provides a profound opportunity to leap into a new sphere of existence beyond your perceived limitations.

For this New Moon Solar Eclipse, the Moon & Sun are in the Earth sign of Taurus, bringing a sense of grounding, nurturing and practicality to this eclipse.   What do you really value in your life, what makes your heart-n-soul rejoice, and how can you live your life as an expression of that joy.  As we move into this New Moon Solar Eclipse , make a gratitude list of all the things in your life that make you ‘wealthy’ and make a vow to LIVE these truths as part of your everyday existence.

To help ground this Taurus New Moon Solar Eclipse energy vow to spend time in nature, cook with passion, polish your crystals and open your Heart and receive the LOVE of Mother Earth.

Planetary Energetics – April 2014

Not only does the moon have an effect on our day-to-day lives, but so do the position of the planets in our solar system.

Having knowledge of planetary movements helps us understand our physical/emotional/mental states of being… so we can consciously work with planetary energy pro-actively.

Here is a brief overview of some key planetary movements at the present time…

Mars (Retrograde)

Mars2 March 2014 to 21 May 2014:  Mars (action, energy & drive) moved retrograde (appearance of moving backwards in our sky) in early March 2014.  It will be retrograding through Libra (romantic, indecisive, harmony, social, helpful).

When Mars is retrograde there is a lack of energy or drive to initiate action, thus not a great time to start things new… as projects will stall, equipment will break down or you will lose (eg if you initiate a legal action).    This is a time to relax, slow down and gather your strength in this retrograde period.  It is a time to review  your actions and new seeds to be planted once Mars once again moves direct.

Please read my article on Retrograde Planets :
https://www.universallifetools.com/2014/03/retrograde-planets-explained/

Jupiter in Cancer

jupiter7 March 2014 to 17 July 2014: Since 8 Nov 2013 Jupiter (abundance, luck & expansion) has been moving retrograde (appearance of going backwards in our sky) in Cancer and will finally be moving direct next month.  When Jupiter is retrograde we may find ourselves slowing down and our pace of life becomes a little less frenetic as our ‘drive’ to achieve goals is somewhat hindered.

Now with Jupiter moving direct in Cancer (nurturing, family, sensitive, emotional, moody, psychic) in early March, we expand our energy into our emotional and familial well being.  It may herald a time to delve into our family tree, get to understand our gene line a little better and spend more time nurturing our home life and the people in our lives that matter most.

 

Saturn (Retrograde)

saturn3 March 2014 to 21 July 2014: Saturn (life lessons, wisdom, karma, responsibility) moves retrograde (appearance of moving backwards in our sky) in early March 2014.  It will be retrograding through Scorpio (Passionate, emotional, willpower, psychic, determined).

When Saturn is retrograde there is a lack of boundaries.. so be mindful of saying YES to everything and then feeling overwhelmed and a loss of power.  A retrograde period is a period of inner-reflection and with Scorpio such an inner-reflective sign, this may be a time of great soul-searching & exploration.  Again, just like Mars Retrograde, not a great time to initiate new projects as you may find the need to go back and re-do or re-organise everything !

Please read my article on Retrograde Planets :
https://www.universallifetools.com/2014/03/retrograde-planets-explained/

Uranus in Aries

uranus27 May 2010 to 15 May 2018: Uranus (rebellion, freedom, unconventional, technological advancement, humanitarianism) moved into Aries (Leader, impatient, risk taker) in May 2010.  It will be in Aries for 8 years, briefly entering Taurus in May 2018, then it will retrograde back into Aries on 6 Nov 2018 until 6 March 2019.  The last time Uranus was in Aries was 84 years ago !

This period heralds a time of finding your own two feet, your independence and finding freedom to be YOU.  This is a time to move beyond the boundaries of the BOX and own your I AM and not be drawn or defined by the memes of society.  As Einstein said ‘you can’t solve a problem from the same level of consciousness that created it’… thus this is a time to think / feel / be expanded consciousness to solve the problems of today.  Expect the unexpected during this time… and live your life as a direct expression of spirit unique to you… and allow your rawness to empower others to do the same.

Neptune in Pisces

neptune4 April 2011 to 15 May 2018: Neptune (Illusion, deception, creativity) moved into Pisces (Sensitive, psychic, dreamy, creative, charitable) in April 2011.  The last time Neptune entered Pisces was in 1848, three years after it was discovered in 1845.

Neptune in Pisces in it’s fullest potential is an awakening to the DIVINE from within.  It fosters a movement beyond materialism / consumerism and the foundations of religious dogma.  Neptune in Pisces fosters spiritual transformation.   This energy provides a potential for humanity to expand beyond perceived limitations through dedicated spiritual practice and to find AUTHENTIC TRUTH.  Allow your IMAGINATION to SEE beyond the illusion and awaken to living with Spirit through heart-n-soul.

 

Pluto in Capricorn

pluto26 Jan 2008 to 23 March 2023: Pluto (transformation & empowerment) moved into Capricorn (Practical, realist, reliable, hard worker) in Jan 2008.  Pluto was in Sagittarius prior to moving into Capricorn, where it had been transiting since 1995.  Pluto was last in Capricorn Nov 1762 until Dec 1778.

Heralding transformation, Pluto in Capricorn is about death and rebirth or endings and beginnings.  It is a time of breaking down all old outdated structures… structures that embody power & control such as governments, corporations & religion.  This dismantling then creates opportunities to rebuild solid foundations from the ground up and inside-out… structures that support communities, humanity and the sustainable life of this planet.

Chiron in Pisces

chiron20 April 2010 to 23 April 2023: Chiron (wounded healer) moved into Pisces (Sensitive, psychic, dreamy, creative, charitable) in April 2010.  Chiron was only discovered in 1977 (though there are pre-discovery photos dating back to 1895).  It takes 52 years for Chiron to transit out sun.

Chiron is the wounded healer, be it our wounds that are physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.  As Chiron transits Pisces it opens a potential to ‘heal our wounds’ beyond just structure & the physical, to a more conscious state of healing of the body, mind & spirit .  Thus this 13 year transit provides a real opportunity to ‘heal’ areas of your life and facilitate deep transformation.  I

t is an opportunity to repattern the hologram, or transcend deep cellular or DNA imprints and attune to higher states of consciousness.  Victimhood will become a thing of the past (if you so choose), and forgiveness along with all things mystical and unseen heals.
