Happy Taurus Solar Eclipse

Happy Taurus Solar Eclipse!  


We've entered the two-week Eclipse Cauldron with the Taurus Solar
Eclipse (Super New Moon) exact today at 3:28 pm central on the
heels of Pluto Retrograde, with Venus meeting Jupiter today in
late Pisces, in the Beltane Cross Quarter Window of High
Magic.  Exact Solar Beltane is Thursday, May 5.


May features astrology that will blow your mind with three
planets retrograde (Pluto, Mercury, then Saturn) a major Eclipse
Window opening with the Solar Eclipse today and closing with a
Total Lunar Blood Moon Eclipse May 15/16, a shift from the
Morning Sky stellium of Pisces (Jupiter, Venus and Mars) into
Aries--with Jupiter entering the sign for the first time in 12
years.


Today's Eclipse with Uranus and Venus at the Heart Chakra is
conjunct Jupiter in Pisces.   We're at the tail end of this
big Pisces portal where prayer and the dreamtime have been our
keys to making it through.


Keep it simple today, tend to your body and daily rhythms. 
Less words, more presence.  Listen to the intelligence of
your body.  Feel where the Earth and you are wanting to
connect and go there.  Create spaces to release whatever
grief, sorrow of loss you have been feeling in this Pisces
Portal. 


The energies of today are potentially ecstatic and
revolutionary.  Energy wants to be moved through, old stuck
blockage wants to be cleared.  Let the mind rest, it cannot
help you today.  The body, the heart, and the soul want to
be fully expressed today, to be in charge.  Trust the wisdom
of your body, and this Earth body.


Venus at the Heart Chakra Gate This Month


On Wednesday, April 27 the Moon activated the Venus Chakra Gate,
and this theme is felt for the entire month.   I keep
getting this little love note when I drink yogi tea saying
“Uncage Your Heart, Let it Be Wild.”  


You may feel there is an “old me” and “new me” wanting to emerge,
and experienced a confusing shuttering between the two. 
Over the past months and weeks this back and forth might make you
and those you love a bit crazy.  However,  our “new”
and “old” selves are actually closer in frequency now and there
is a mysterious blending, an integration happening. 


It can be gentle. We can shift from what might has felt like
violence, or turbulence within ourselves into a field of greater
peace and coherence.  That is what heart medicine offers to
us.  It is the healing balm bringing an underlying state of
wellness and wholeness and ease to this otherwise quite dynamic
month. 


This back and forth is happening in our most intimate
relationships as well, where a third possibility for a “new
relationship” is being birthed as we move back and forth between
old patterns that may appear at times quite toxic yet can
actually ease up and be loosened more now. 


I would go so far as to say this dynamic is also happening
between each of us personally and our relationship with the
Earth, and our species as a whole and its relationship to our
home planet. 


 You might feel the deep tangles in our relationships with
beloveds and family members and some very deep places of pain,
shame and embarassment--the shadow has been rising to the surface
with Pluto retrograde. 


We have been in a place of surrender with all the Pisces medicine
and prayer has been our most powerful medicine.  Ask what is
not for the highest and greatest of all involved to be dissolved
and cleared fully and completely.


 Pisces to Aries Shift in May


Over the course of the month there is a shift of Venus, Jupiter
and Mars from Pisces to Aries.  Jupiter moves into Aries for
the first time in 12 years on May 10.  Even with all the
retrogrades and Eclipse energies it is possible find a strong yes
or no in our bodies and make choices serving our full expression
and con
