Today the Sun moves from Pisces into Aries. New beginnings, taking up new causes, renewing our commitment to old causes or perhaps strengthening our resolve to make something better. Aries is a pioneer, an adventurer, an energy that creates new ideas. Aries can be all about the ego and me-me-me, too. That's an attempt to gather enough resources to take care of basic needs because pioneering, adventuring, coming up with new ideas and leading a crusade require copious amounts of resources to sustain the self and the project. When these processes are done in balance, there is a quiet power that feeds the heart and soul that moves this energy along.
Give some meditative thought today and in the coming days to what you want to give your energy to. What ideas do you want to bring into the world? Or, maybe you are involved in something that's already good, but could use more support - how can you contribute to the greater success of that?
Then consider what resources you need to make this all happen. If you have an idea for a new job, allow yourself to see the full vision of it. Then take the time to research, ask questions, whatever you need to do to discover what resources, connections, whatever you need to make it happen and use the fiery-action power of this time of year to get it going. Be flexible with the final outcome of the original vision because you may get something even better!
The Moon is in Taurus this Spring Equinox. Moonin Taurus is pretty grounded and seeks out what we need to feel emotionally secure. That can include a sense of financial security (or insecurity depending on where you're at) as well as creative security and basic survival needs. Moon in Taurus asks us to consider what we need to feel nurtured and fed. It also asks us what we need to feel creatively fertile. And yes, we are all creative --- creativity comes in more forms that we can currently imagine. This combination of Sun in Aries and Moon in Taurus is giving us all a much needed boost of excitement and power to open up to what we need to be productive in a beautiful way - what do we need to create a world of beauty where resources are respected, shared with equality, where the Earth is treated with respect, kindness, gratitude and replenished with wisdom (think organic crop rotation as one example), where the basic needs of everyone are met with joy and abundance so there are no worries about basic survival and everyone can focus on the expression of the true beauty within them that connects with the Universe and uplifts the world.
One key element during this time is to consider our values; the values we live by, the true values in our hearts and the values we see in the world. This is one of the qualities of Taurus, but with Aries Sun that gets a fire lit under it and becomes a question of where are the inequities between my real values and the values of the world? Because we are moving toward a dissolving of polarities that are destructive (although part of that means we see an increase in the destructiveness of polarity activities) and a move into 4-5-6 dimensions with 7 looming closely, we are releasing the old illusion, the things that we use to divide us like religion, politics, a negative view of ethnicity and culture.
Watch out for some potentially quarrelsome energies or cranky energies in and around you. I would suggest that for this day (and the days before and after) that you make sure you are physically active, preferably out in nature. Also, if you have any creative activities going on or that you want to start, spend some quiet, alone time working on them.
Otherwise, the energies will generally have an undercurrent of good qualities that are helping us move forward with our evolution. The energies do point to a great deal of potential for being "spacey", but that is because they call out for time to be spent in one-ness with nature and spirit. I'm imagining the entire world meditating in the beauty of nature all day long - just quiet, deep, open meditation!
In fact, any time spent in nature and in any form of meditation (walking meditation, yoga meditation, basic meditation) focusing on some kind of creative work while in a meditative-like state will bring extra strong, powerful energy to the planet and all life here to ward off, push away, dissolve any negative energies that are either coming or somet that are here and won't budge. Some things may be too far along their path to stop, but through nature and meditative/prayer-like activities the outcomes will be changed to something less thant what might have happened without the energetic and spiritual work.
This applies to each of us personally as well as the planet.
This Spring Equinox is hitting one of the notes in the eight year Venus paradigm shift that started in 2004 and ends in June 2012. One of the shifts during this long phase involves our valuing system and what/how we make exchanges regarding services, products and basic resource needs. The money system is changing. How it changes depends on each of us - our awakening and our sense of balance and partnership and action in the world.
With this Equinox we will be ready to create, desing and mainfest the next level of reality. We have to be careful as there is now a 6th dimensional component involved and it can draw us in at different times. It's very different from the 4th and 5th dimensions. We are fast-tracking these dimensions because we've gotten behind. So, while we build the 4th and 5th dimensions, the 6th and soon the 7th will be opening to us, too.
There is an influx of energies that will help us with bringing balance to the feminine-masculine balance. It will also help us withthe process of raising the vibrations of where we currently are with the relationship between feminine and masculine as we move toward a time where we no longer label things as "feminine" and "masculine" but where actions, beliefs and so on are simply accepted for what they are. For example, nurturing would be simply nurturing and considered a naturally life-supporting thing rather than a "traditionally feminine" thing.
This same influx of energies is helping us shift the energy grids that sit just on the surface of the Earth to help with the Earth shifts. These energies cannot stop the shifts, but they can help us kind of soften them. Again, anything we can do to physically or thorugh visualization or meditaiton connect with nature and offer our help with these shifts would be good. We are bing called to step up our work as caretakers of the Earth. That can mean anything from an extra bit of meditation each day to asking others to meditate more. It could mean speaking out somehow to awaken others through the power of words or art in some way. Whatever you do, just do it.
With this equinox the seeds that have been germinating for us to use to create the new foundations and paradigms for thes new dimension will now be popping out - moving from little seeds to seedlings popping out from beneath the top layer of Earth. Take your ideas, thoughts, new feelings, the dreams you wnat to grow and continue to nurture them with the knowledge that they are not just growing, but they're popping out now! They must still be protected because they are still vulnerable to the harshness of the elements - negativity, fear, trampling by old footprints. We have to care for them with great love, gentleness and a fiercensss like any parent protecting their newborn. They need to be fed with love, encouragement, positivity, and soon a sense of connection to community.
From an archetype perspective, Persephone began her journey up from the underworld at Imbolc, February 2. At Spring Equinox she begins to fully emerge into the light of day. We are getting back in touch with all we have been keeping hidden and secret. I suspect Persephone brings with her knowledge of the shifts going on and coming within the Earth. She may also be bringing these movements with her as she ascends the staircase up to the surface of the Earth. I have a feeling the Divine Feminine is preparing to make a statement to really get our attention about the need for more people to step up and take responsibility for the care of the Earth - not just physically, but energetically as we all move into new dimensions of reality. These deep shifts are happening within each of as well as with the Earth.
We'll get to these new dimensions for sure. The questions are, how will we get there and what do we want them to be like? This is about taking full responsibility for our power and no longer sleeping while others grab power and create our worlds. We don't have to have a violent revolution or hurt one another. Not at all. It can be done with strength of our convictions, power of clarity and vision, and a heart-centeredness that transcends the ego need for separation based on illusionary qualities like religion, skin color, gender, age, politics, looks and so on. This heart-centeredness, or compassion, recognizes the power, strength and beauty of diversity of the wisdom and experiences of the Soul - all Souls.
Be patient with yourself, too. Not everyone is moving at the same pace and even the timing of individual experiences is moving in odd increments.
I generally find the energies of Spring Equinox to be softly powerful. This year they are intensely powerful. There is a quality of pushing that isn't usually present. A sense of some serious releasing of old stuff. There is a clearing out of the compost pile to get to a clean, fresh, new start.
Spring Equinox 2010 is opening some doors to change that will be intense and powerful. it's time to visualize ourselves planting our roots into our new dimensions and lives and really FEEL the rooting happen and know that we have all the resources we need to feed and nurture the positive, healthy growth of ourselves, one another and our community.
It feels like things will be rollercoaster-like for some time. In spite of the rollercoaster ride, the time is now to be in deep and often partnership and connection with nature, spending more time visualizing and feeling our new roots planted firmly into our new terra firma, actively creating the new world from truth, love and no more illusion-based division but rather a community of respect, expression of beauty, joyful sharing of diversity and equality in sharing all resources to meet the needs of all life. Rooting in our new world is a first step to being able to then see and create the new world we desire.
Remember, too, home is where the heart is.
Blessed Be....Patti
