Sun Into Aries 2016: Measured Progress

Sun Into Aries 2016

Happy Spring 2016,


    Thank you as always for subscribing and welcome aboard to our new readers.  As the Sun moves into the fire sign of Aries, a cluster of heavenly bodies will remain in watery Pisces.  Aries marks the start of something new and exciting, while Pisces symbolizes completion.  In initiating Aries, the Sun, Mercury and later Venus will come into contact with electrifying Uranus, and they’ll make some activating trines to energetic Mars in the fellow fire sign of Sagittarius.  But Neptune, Chiron and the South Node (our past) in Pisces will temper Aries ferocity.  Further, Saturn, Mars and Pluto will begin their retrogrades, and Mercury will cross the shadow of its second 2016 retrograde.  Also, retrograde Jupiter, the planet of largess, will square restrictive Saturn on the next eclipse.  The forecast for Aries 2016 is one of measured progress.  With some of the personal planets connecting with experimental Uranus, we are encouraged to try new things, and Mercury's movement into Aries on the 21st will help clear our heads of the Pisces fog that has descended for the past month. For more on the cycle ahead, you can check out my visit with Kristy Ayala on the radio or watch this month’s video.

From The Oracle

Cancer

It is safe to grow and change. Your intuition is guiding you to new people and better circumstances. Be open to love.

THE MEANING BEHIND THE CARD

    Each Cardinal sign marks the start of its respective season. As such, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn initiate change. Cancer’s symbolic crab possesses a strong outer shell and a vulnerable, delicate interior. Being a water sign, Cancer is also highly intuitive and in tune with emotions. This message affirms that your ability to set clear boundaries as well as your healthy internal guidance system are helping you safely navigate challenges. It also indicates that you are reaching a deeper state of emotional security through your willingness to love yourself and others.

TOOLBOX

    Create a safety touchstone. You can work with any crystal that you can hold in a closed hand. Hold this stone and fully recall your safest moments in life. Charge the stone with these feelings of complete security and ease. When you have finished charging this crystal, store it in a sacred place and work with it when fear arises.

AFFIRMATION

It is safe to grow, change, and love.


      Everyone loves Fridays, and for a limited time you can make yours even better with a personal reading.  I’ll add five minutes to any order you place on a Friday, and you can have your reading at your convenience.  To schedule, just reply to this email or email me here.  I look forward to connecting and welcome the opportunity to take a look into the new astrological year ahead for you. Let's bust up that Pisces confusion and give you some clarity!
      While Neptune, Chiron and the South Node hang back in sensitive Pisces, the Sun, Mercury and Venus move on into activating Aries.  From there, they will con-join live wire Uranus, trine Mars and Saturn in optimistic Sag and square Pluto in sober Capricorn.  Adding another twist to the celestial excitement will be an exact Saturn Jupiter square on the day of an eclipse.  Finally, the cosmic caution lights come on as Saturn, Mars and Pluto turn retrograde and Mercury crosses the shadow of its second 2016 retrograde.  Get the details in this video.
      For St. Patrick’s Day and the Irish Centennial, and under the Pisces influence, I made two short music videos.  I hope that you enjoy them and the magic of the Celtic harp.  Thank you always for your support and encouragement.
In closing...

     Here in Austin, the 30th SXSW festival launched last week with none other than President Obama as its keynote speaker.  Dr. Brene Brown was also in town for a keynote.  I’m soaking up the sounds from SX, as the locals call it, and finding an especially vibrant music scene here.  So myself and the harp are getting out and making new connections.  I hope that the irrepressible spirit of Aries will motivate you to push past complacency so that you may embrace the new possibilities this cycle brings.  Until next time, I wish you all the very best and I hope to hear from a few of you for Free Minute Fridays!  I love those!

With love always,

Elizabeth
