The fire element continues to dominate the transits this week. The heavens also continue to show a dearth of the air element. Of major interest is Jupiter going direct this week, and Mercury conjuncting his tutor Uranus exactly on April 8. Sun, Mercury, and Uranus form a spectacular stellium on that day (aggressive, brilliant thinking; consciously assertive and innovative communication and ideas), and five of the planets will be within about forty degrees of each other by the end of the week (with Mars and Venus in Taurus).

This week also has characteristics of determination and will to succeed, despite the costs (Mars aspecting Saturn) and Jupiter’s aspect to Pluto creates wedge patterns with the Aries stellium – signaling abundant change? This raises potential for a very dynamic week.

What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

14 Aries 24 / 14 Libra 24

The theme for this month’s Libra Full Moon Lunar Eclipse is a line from a Crosby, Stills & Nash song: “It’s been a long time coming. It’s going to be a long time gone.”

Nothing that happens now is out of the blue, but ties back to the recent past, the last three years and possibly 1996 as well. Nothing that ends, leaves or shape-shifts is going back to its previous form, either, although it may take till October for the new contours to settle in fully.

We’re at a profoundly intense, life-changing juncture. It’s a moment of clarity, of catalyzing and of crystalizing. The structures on which we’ve lived have collapsed. The new ones are in place, or at least assembling, even if we don’t have the vantage point to see them yet. For now, there are emotions to experience and express, information to process and, more importantly, act on, and long-simmering issues to address.

Sometimes you don’t know what to do, is that true? This is a good time then to take a break. Sometimes you don’t have to do anything at the moment. Sometimes sit and take a break.
 
When the world seems to be too much with you, lean back a little. Smoke a little pipe and sit in a rocking chair on your front porch and watch the changing sunscape across the sky. Let the sun advise you. The sun has traveled, as it appears, day and night for how many years? Of course, the sun has stayed still, and Earth came to it.
 
We can say that for a while, at least, that you, in a quandary, do well to stay where you are and let a solution pop up for you.
 
You may say you trust the unfolding of the world and the unfolding of your life. Yet, as you say that, you may seem to live on tenterhooks. Trust is intended to free you from fear.
 
The sun is aware that the Earth spins. The Earth has never failed to take its daily path. What makes you doubt that all answers are not already in you and coming around the corner into your consciousness? Consider two steps of your progress like breathing in and breathing out. Inhale and exhale. You can never go wrong by choosing to breathe in and breathe out. This is a task you don’t usually have to think about at all. Your actual breath, like your heart, and all the systems of your body, is on automatic. What makes you think that the Universe is not on cue or that your mind does not already have all the answers you need?
 
Or think of this:
 

HJ: Most problems can be solved and handled quite easily by simply shifting your perspective.  And one of the fastest and easiest ways to do that is through the asking of brilliant questions which magically shift your perception.

10 Questions that Will Change the Way You Think About Your Problems

By Angel Chernoff | Marc and Angel

It’s not about having all the answers – it’s about asking the right questions.

The saying “She who teaches others, teaches herself” is very true, not only because constant repetition helps impress facts indelibly on the mind, but also because the process of teaching itself gives greater insight into the subject taught...

“The ugly duckling is a misunderstood universal myth. It’s not about turning into a blonde Barbie doll or becoming what you dream of being; it’s about self-revelation, becoming who you are.” ~ Baz Luhrmann

Much like Jack London’s story of White Fang, The Ugly Duckling by Hans Christian Anderson is a modern fairytale that explores the transformation of a swan mistaken for a duckling from birth to adulthood. It explores themes on misapprehensions over who we really are and what our true nature really is.

Many interpretations may focus on the identification with a specific family or crowd and the discovery of our true people when we come of age, or even go a step further and draw parallels with the salmon swimming against the current its whole life in order to return home. But, like White Fang, The Ugly Duckling doesn’t appear to be simply about discovering our true selves.

It represents the whole misunderstanding of our full potentials and divine nature. We believe we are mortal when in fact we are one with the Divine; expressions of pure love who have become lost on the journey and mistaken ourselves as inferior imposters, and those who don’t deserve any form of love… adoptive or otherwise.
