Astrology for Week of April 19, 2010

The theme for this week is Pipe: Prayer/Inner Peace. Pipe is about balance. This is what the economic crisis that we are experiencing is all about. This does not mean that you have been greedy and have misused money, so now you are being punished; it means that you are out of balance in your life and you must take steps to correct this. For most of you reading this, the problem is that you feel deep down that you don’t deserve. This is what you have to let go of. Start praying again. Prayer works. How you pray does not matter nor does it matter if you believe in God. If you are an introvert, you will be more comfortable asking for something indirectly, i.e., adding this or something better at the end of a request. If you are extroverted, you will like being direct. The truth is that both ways work. Put it out there. Ask for guidance. Ask for help. Ask for something specific. You will get an answer.

This is an exciting week with the configuration known as the “Finger of God” occurs on Monday, April 21 and Tuesday, April 22. There is a positive and negative aspect to this. The positive aspect is that it is a time to see the effect of all your hard work. Things start falling into place. After months of no signs, you begin to see the wonderful changes in your life. The negative side of this is known as “the finger.” Yup, you know what I mean. If you haven’t forgiven someone and are letting you live rent free in your head, it will become very apparent that you need to let go. Yes, I know justice isn’t always the way that we want or the way that we feel it should be done, but we have to let go anyway. As I said before, the only reason why we do not experience love and abundance is that we get in the way. Get out of the way now.

Friday, April 23, with Venus aspecting Neptune and Uranus will be a day for divine creativity and inspiration. Great ideas will be abundant.

Sunday, April, 25, Venus is at it again with an aspect to Chiron. This will be a wonderful time for healing of the self or important relationships in your life. However, Mars is square Mercury, so be aware that arguments can happen. Perhaps this needs to happen in order to bring everything out into the open. Remember what I said about letting someone live rent free in your head. Isn’t it time to let go of the past and see what is really happening in the moment. Look at what is really happening, not what you think is happening. This does not mean being a doormat. It means to approach everything from love and power and not from anger. Anger only takes your power away.

On Tuesday, April 20, Chiron enter Pisces through July 19. This will help heal you spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally. Take advantage of this energy.

The cards that I pulled for this week are:

Dancing Prayer: Passion/Kundalini. This card says that you must become passionate about something in your life. This energy will set things into motion. Find your passion and live your passion. If you cannot think of anything that excites you now, meditate on what it would feel like to feel passionate. Think back to a time when you did feel it and bring it into your meditation. Feel passion in your body. Become passion, then you will see the power of passion.

Dragonfly: Illusion. Dragonfly medicine is of the dreamtime and the illusionary façade we accept as physical reality. You have chose to experience life in this three dimensional world and this card says to not accept things as they appear to be. Dragonfly medicine reminds you to seek out the parts of your habits that you need to change. Perhaps the habit that you need to change is your complete belief in the world and that you are helpless to change things. As long as you buy into this reality, you are subjected to its rules and laws. Start with small changes and work up to the big ones. Dragonfly is beckoning you to see the lies and illusions in your life.

Tree of Life: Justice. This card says to live from your heart and not from fear. We are supposed to experience happiness and abundance. The problem is that we get in our own way. We stop it from happening. Remember this quote from Lao-Tzu this week:

Fill our bowl to the brim and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people’s approval and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work and then step back.
The only path to serenity.
