Easter Sunday Forecast

Sunday April 24
It’s a great time for a lazy morning, with the Moon void of course in Capricorn. Allow yourself to gain perspective over a cuppa warm whatteva. We’ll reactivate at 10:59 am, when our lunar companion enters activist Aquarius. Sextiles to Uranus and Venus bring softening insights to our relationship scenario, bracketing the Moon’s Last Quarter square to the Sun at 4°34′ Aquarius/7:47 pm PT. The focused light in the idle [lighthouse] tower shines with the intensity of a locust fight in the tidal hour. In its creeping beam can be seen, far below, a brash hick hawking his wares (a hash brick) while walking his hares, a mock duck and a dairy fox covered in dock muck on the ferry docks, a fawn buyer and a lane mobster at a bonfire eating Main Lobster— “hand-caught and canned hot!”— and a pretty girl with a Yorkie puppy admiring a gritty pearl with a porky yuppie. Also visible in the roving light is a sprawl of schoonerists whose ship, now docked, is covered in the scrawl of spoonerists. Some great change is pending that will be resolved in the coming week as Venus heads into a square to Pluto. This contact carries extra oomph because she is carrying Uranus’s energy to Pluto to integrate the fragments of a new awareness about where we’re headed and what we need to do, both personally and globally. Last Easter we spent that morning in the living room, searching for the previous evening as though it were a dissevered cobra, the sections of which were hidden here and there about the room. . . No matter how cleverly we sought, however, we couldn’t seem to find the head or the tip of its other extremity, the tail; so we were by no means certain of the creature’s real dimension, of how much there was left to uncover. Even when we checked behind what we all thought to be the object which might most obviously conceal a clue— a curiously slashed landscape painting which hung at a disconcerting angle on the fruit-splattered wall— we found nothing but a pair of immaculate formal gloves nailed to the plaster. This is a crossroads for the US as well, as the houses of health and labor are populated. This suggests labor disturbances and police action as workers stand up for their rights and meet with resistance. Public opinion moves toward the side of human (and workers’) rights, continuing a populist movement that supersedes attempts at manipulation through media. This involves not just workers’ rights but the right of all humans to live on the planet without the threat of suffering that radiation poisoning brings.The Last Quarter Moon at 5 Aquarius is symbolized by, “In the land of shades, a council of ancestors of a man of world importance has been called to guide him.” (ME Jones version) Although we can all tap this energy, it is particularly interesting that this lunar event triggers President Obama’s chart so as to suggest just this type of inner experience. Look for a change in direction in his policies to emerge in the coming days, weeks, and months.

The Ugly Truth is, My Fellow Lightpilots, that we are being Nuked!

The reactors at Fukushima are the largest in the world, and six of them are in total meltdown. They have been melting down since thirty-minutes after the Tsunami' because the cooling systems went off when the earthquake happened and 90 minutes after the cooling stopped-the reactors went into meltdown. This is all a cover-up, this is a false-flag, this is a poisoning of the oceans the atmosphere and the biosphere. No one can escape. Uranium is actually a depopulation agent especially for the unborn and the young and the elderly. the effect of Uranium is depopulation of the youngest and the oldest in populations. It’s all over all our crops, our farmlands, contaminating the runoff, our drinking water, and the animals are all eating it too. So uranium is absolutely everywhere! The whole west coast of North America is completely contaminated with radiation now. Both the EPA and the Canadian government said "There's no danger to radiation-no the Fukushima ah-it's just tiny amounts.” Fucking Liars! Twenty-four of the 124 monitoring stations which the EPA operates are broken. There are six reactors at the Fukushima Number one plant and four more at the Fukushima Number 2 plant. There are seven cooling ponds at Fukushima, with six on top of the reactors; and there are 600,000 SPENT FUEL RODS, from 40 years of operating those reactors. A (single) spent fuel rod weighs about one-thousand, two hundred pounds. It has over one-thousand three-hundred isotopes in it; and it is exactly what is produced when a nuclear bomb explodes. ~ Four of those reactors blew up from hydrogen explosions and the fuel rods went shooting high into the air and 'that' is what HAS POISONED ALL OF NORTH AMERICA. (I mean the West coast of Canada, the west Coast of the United States and the West Coast of Mexico). That's the food basket for North America. And this is at levels like bomb testing. This is at levels like Chernobyl released close to the ground and has poisoned the whole world. And now we have something that is at least ten times worse, many times worse than Chernobyl. Because the reactor at Chernobyl, that caught on fire, was half the size of the small reactor in unit one and it was mostly fuel rods that were uranium that burned, instead of the spent fuel rods that burned at Fukushima! Because of that the whole top third of Honshu, all the way up to the tip of Honshu-that is UNINHABITABLE NOW. It is three-times more radioactive on the ground than after Chernobyl. It's over 3,000 becerels (sp?) per second, of extremely dangerous radionuclides that are decaying across that whole top third of Honshu. The Entirety of the Northern Hemisphere around the world is affected by fallout, as well as the Pacific Ocean. These radioactive dangers include not only radioactive I-131, cesium 137, and potassium 40-42, but also plutonium. This is far more dangerous than I-131 and cesium 137. A full plutonium reactor meltdown will kill a significant amount of the Japanese population. Unfortunately it is not clear if plutonium is being used in one of the reactors, and what is happening in general with the nuclear reactors there. The following disturbing facts about the health dangers posed by higher radiation levels have been gleaned from the international news:

“Chief cabinet minister Yukio Edano said radiation levels near the stricken plant on the northeast coast reached as high as 400 millisieverts (mSv) an hour, thousands of times higher than readings before the blast. That would be 20 times the current yearly level for some nuclear-industry employees and uranium miners. Exposure to 350 mSv was the criterion for relocating people after the Chernobyl accident, according to the World Nuclear Association. People are exposed to natural radiation of about 2 mSv a year. Exposure to 100 mSv a year is the lowest level at which any increase in cancer is clearly evident. A cumulative 1,000 mSv would probably cause a fatal cancer many years later in five out of every 100 persons exposed to it.”

To help you understand the severity of the situation, in the struggle to stop plutonium satellites from being launched from Cape Canaveral, evidence was released to show that an accidental satellite explosion could kill the entire population of Florida. These are, of course, serious consequences that leave us with the question of what to do.

On the physical plane, we know that significant protection against these deadly radiation energies occurs through competitive inhibition. In other words, if the body is taking in natural wholesome elements from certain foods, it will not have space to take in the radioactive elements. The various elements compete at the receptor cites, and healthy food wins every time. To protect yourself from I-131 poisoning, take 5 kelp tablets daily. The body will absorb the kelp instead of the I-131. Taking 50-100 mg of Idoral daily is more expensive and also more effective. To protect yourself from cesium poisoning, consume plenty of high potassium foods, as potassium competitively inhibits cesium uptake. Foods high in potassium include avocados, sea vegetables, and leafy green vegetables. I don’t necessarily recommend taking a potassium supplement. These foods should provide all you need to block cesium 137 uptake. To protect yourself from plutonium poisoning, eat lots of dulse and consume iron from plant sources, namely sea algaes such as spirulina, E3Live, and chlorella, which provide more iron than red meat. Miso soup has also been shown to have a protective effect. NCD, at 10 drops 4 times daily, is excellent for taking almost all radioactive materials out of the body.

Additionally, foods and supplements high in antioxidants, will also help the body cope with these higher toxic levels as radioactive materials cause anti-oxidant depletion and ill health. I recommend taking the products Mega Hydrate and Anti-Oxidant Extreme for maximum antioxidant support. Eating alkalizing food is also good. Eating low on the food chain is a basic essential principle as well. What we learned from the Chernobyl incident in 1986 was that there was a 900% increase in peri-natal mortality in the Boston area. It was found that the cows’ milk (including grass-fed cows’ milk) contained concentrated radioactive I-131, and the expectant or nursing mothers drinking the cows’ milk inadvertently poisoned their babies. The radioactive pollutions in the environment, such as depleted uranium, become more concentrated higher on the food chain. Dioxin in the environment is found concentrated in Ben and Jerry’s ice cream at 200 times a safe exposure level. This is one reason why a live-food, plant-source diet, eating low on the food chain, is the safest and best diet at this point in history and the foreseeable future.
A small point on the level of risk benefit, if you happened to live on the West Coast, all the way to Vancouver, where the peri-natal rate was increased by approximately 50% and in the Boston area by 900%, it would not have been wise to eat animal and dairy products locally. We may have to look at locavore ideologies as secondary to the bigger health issues, as eating locally only yields 11% less CO2 compared with procuring products from around the globe. Additionally, it is helpful to understand that the energies behind these earth changes are “wake-up calls” to change our adharmic lifestyles. I urge you to consider these prophetic unfoldings and examine your lives. Make changes that help you to move away from the Culture of Death and into the Culture of Life and Liberation. This includes careful consideration of everything from diet to doing service and charity, and no longer living according to the “relative morality” that has become the world’s standard.

Daily Forecasts for April 22 and 23 in Yetzirah

FRIDAY APRIL 22
If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. Venus, who gets oversimplified like a lot of her sisters, is one of the most complex planets going: she works as an attractive force and as a creative one.Intelligence is the greatest aphrodisiac, but a dab of extract from a civet's anal gland and a nice pair of shoes will work just as well today. At 3:24 am, the Moon enters savvy Capricorn. This carries the energy of awakening with it, since it makes contact to the plethora of planets in the cardinal signs. The doors open to release fears and feel the newness that we are being propelled into at the speed of light. Early sextiles to Neptune and Chiron bring healing tranquility to our dream state, while a trine to the Sun gives us the ability to hold space for the integrative process.The action on the main stage is a quadruple connection of Moon, Venus, Uranus, and Pluto. Venus makes its conjunction with Uranus at 7:29 pm PT and squares Pluto next week. Moon contacts them all today with its magnetic glue, showing us what needs to come to the surface. Is it a monster from the deep or just a frightened gnome who’s spent too much time underground, starved for light? We’re likely to see the former when it’s really the latter, and project it onto our partner, thinking it’s him/her.

SATURNSDAY APRIL 23
Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, but death is a short certificate written by a sensible fellow with a degree in forensic pathology. Mercury goes direct in Aries today and not a moment to soon. The forward turn of the communication planet in pioneering Aries helps get projects off the ground and paves the way to making new connections. Delays caused by complications during the previous three-week retrograde period are finally ready to be overcome as we put the past behind us. However, when planets change directions they move very slowly at first, indicating the need to maintain a bit of patience even as our minds are racing ahead with anticipation of whatever comes next.We can move forward again, putting the past behind us. The Capricorn Moon stirs us to activity as it squares the planets in Aries: Saturn, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. We’re eager to launch, as there’s so much to accomplish! The Moon enters its void period at 5:13 pm, lasting until tomorrow morning’s entry into Aquarius.
I hope this isn't an ackward time to mention that the structural basis for all Light-specific work in the Metaverse is regular, disciplined connection to the No-Form, meditation, contemplation, what ever you want to call it, as long as it's deep. Supremely solitary in that heath of scrub. The Light-Specific state initiates itself with SOLITUDE, the gratifying element of being alone (if only for 20 minutes a day)... without which, true development is impossible. The point is to connect to your inner source of stability, the state of potentia, the No-Form, at least once a day. No-Form is not a goal or state of "spiritual arrival" (as some religions would have us believe), it is a highly practical, multi-purpose tool for dissolving our identification with the ego. If you want to play with us, this is the only rule. The foundation of our Lightcraft is built in Chaos, so you must maintain a firm foundation, or Chaos your life will be. Some of us need this connection four times a day (sunrise, true noon, sunset, true midnight). Some of us actually manage to do it four times a day. It is a choice you must make. I would do it for you if I could. Once a day is all that's required to maintain the Continuity function. Future generations of yourself will be glad this came to pass. The Lightcraft Academy , Yoga Ceremonial Magick, this astrology forecast, they all provide ritual technology for Self initiation. But the key word here is Self. D.I.Y

Tuesday and Wednesday in Yetzirah

TUESDAY APRIL 19
The Day of Mars in Airweek. Mars hasn't always been a god of War. More
powerfully cool to blast ejaculations of dragonbreath fireballs at the mainstream media charade, to shoot fireworks out the business ends of elf flamethrowers at the fleeing asses of slum lords and their hired thugs, and neo-conservative goons. Our failure or unwillingness to alter our ways, our inability or refusal to change the direction of this nation and the continued indifference or complicity to the plight of billions has unmasked us all Mercury retrograde backs into Mars—make sure you don’t do the same while driving today! This gives voice to our urge to act, a good thing since speaking it out gives us a chance to try it on before committing. Moon proceeds through Scorpio making a set of quincunxes to the Aries cluster of planets over the day to produce an overload of ambiguity. A time of confusion is not a time to act. A trine to Venus in late Pisces brings happy endings however, as this opens the Moon’s void period at 9:53 pm. We are activated once again when the Moon enters expansive Sagittarius at 11:50 pm. The man who invented aikido was a samurai who became a pacifist & refused to fight for Japanese imperialism. He became a hermit, lived on a mountain sitting under a tree.. One day a former fellow-samurai came to visit him & accused him of betrayal, cowardice, etc. The hermit said nothing, but kept on sitting--& the other fell into a rage, drew his sword, & struck. Spontaneously the unarmed master disarmed the samurai & returned his sword. Again & again the officer tried to kill, using every subtle kata in his repertoire--but out of his empty mind the hermit each time invented a new way to disarm him. The samurai of course became his first disciple. Later, they learned how to dodge bullets. We might contemplate some form of metadrama meant to capture a taste of this performance, which gave rise to a wholly new art, a totally non-violent way of fighting--war without murder, "the sword of life" rather than death

WEDNESDAY APRIL 20
The Day of Mercury in the week of Active Air. Mercury retrograde (till Saturday) means you should Avoid any doctrine or religious movement that advocates a shameful wickedness with the alphabet In the heart of darkness just past midnight, we’ll find out how much the goal posts have been moved on the inner plane when the Moon squares Neptune in its new sign and Chiron, absorbing insights and clearing obstacles from our dream state. At 3:19 am, the Sun enters dependable Taurus. The Sun’s entry into stabilizing Taurus today puts our feet on the ground, providing a solid foundation for addressing practical matters with patience and persistence. Greater awareness of our bodies opens the senses, enabling us to appreciate the richness of living on planet Earth. The Bull’s stubborn ways are less evident this year as its value-setting ruler Venus is just about to enter adventurous Aries. This combination represents potential conflict between risk taking and playing it safe but can also help us find the resources to fund new sources of fun. The rest of the day is a cascade of harmonies as the Sun and Moon make mellifluous contacts with Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Mercury. At 9:06 pm, Venus enters Aries to add a dose of derring-do to our style of loving, still bringing up the rear in the personal-planet brigade. She’s catching up with Mercury and Mars, but not until next month.It’s another day of exploration as Moon completes its stay in Sagittarius. Sagittarius represents, on the level of the first octave, the period between Conception and 7 weeks, the first Lunar month after the sperm reaches the egg, and is a compacted pattern at a molecular time scale of the entire life of the cellular body. The embryo develops in parallel with the earlier phases of evolution, retaining memory of these structures in the brain. On the level of the fourth octave (see Chapter 9 of the Metaversal Lightcraft Training Manual for more on the Four Octaves), Sagittarius represents Initiation beyond the realms of Death (Scorpio). On the World scale, Sag occupies the period between AD 1500 and AD 1750, The Renaissance. This was the time when astrology, mathematics, musick and geometry were understood as divine techniques for communicating with the Soul of the World. With the Moon in Sagittarius we are into philosophical speculation, adventure, and foreign influences, and actions that expand the awareness through gathering unfamiliar experiences. At 9:05 p.m. Venus rush into Aries.The love planet’s presence in Aries stimulates hunger for new forms of fun. Old pleasures and partnerships require updating to maintain interest and excitement. Impetuous attractions fulfill the need for fresh experiences but aren’t ideal for long-term commitments. A feisty approach to others incites teasing and testing that weeds out weaklings and boring individuals very quickly. However, the development of new tastes and talents could lead to sources of joy, income and approval.

Daily Forecasts for Waterweek in Briah

THURSDAY APRIL 14 The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Water . Projecting Light Specific Blue and facing West, vibrate this azure deluxe into your Second Chakra along with the mantrum: EE-BE-DA. Jupiter is all about allowing ambiguity, contradiction, and movement. It isn't about integration. It helps the ego become more flexible. By Jove, life isn't about staying calm and balanced, but rather about keeping complexity and drama and everything else alive and in dynamic flow. We should not underestimate the power of Earthritual/ interlock/ and the focused magnetism of emotion. If we would like less catastrophic weather change, this is specifically the engineering we must learn. Like man, the weather participates or partakes of both Earth and Sky. These planet-wide weather up-heavals are literally and specifically, collective emotions. Only if we can emote collectively and braid our ecosystems with coherent emotion can we save our future. This is no arbitrary test for survival of our genepool. It is the perfect test. If we can learn to braid electrical space with the harmonics which love weaves, then we have passed the "ring pass knot" gate to the privilege of doing that same activity for the braid creation of star systems and galaxies with our similar but much unpacked and blossomed electrical bodies.
Love is not just a good idea, it's the Law


FRIDAY APRIL 15 Invoke blessed Haniel, just before dawn or 2 hours after sunset and behold, a court of photosynthetic Angels who make this place inside your chest cavity a Paradise, performing tantric intercourse in magick towers and lush subterranean caves, opening your Lionheart chakra, a breeze like yellow silk on your naked skin. She really gets my donkeys up onstage. I love the way she plays with my expectations. Mercury forms a fuzzy square to Neptune at 11:25 a.m. like a little dragon-faced hen bursting with tinsel and frayed at the wrong end .Ladies and gentlemen, as we rise out of the pit of unpleasant reflexes, let me remind you that the lightcraft is ill-prepared to respond to any whiny little demands, so if you would kindly refrain from dying in your seats we shall all have a happier trip. Off to your left you will find the widely disputed "Arcade of the Horror of Fukishima". And on the - oh, sir, you'll have to stop that or I'll smite you into oblivion. What? No, the "B.P--o-Rama" tour was the eight fifteen, this is "Culture is to The World as the mind is to the Body". No, I don't think you can have that removed without severe trauma. Why don't you just put your hypno-goggles back on and settle down.The Holy IaooaI understand that within the Lightcraft are the Father and the Son, joy riding essentially, because they have the key. Who gave them the key? I did. It’s all flow today! Open the Gaudì folds and release the thing.
………………………………................................
Once upon a timing is everything (2000 to 2001) the Metaversal Lightcraft touched down in Assiah (The Physical Plane) for an all to brief(13 month) visit. Having it's beginning in Atziluth, (as the “Metaversal Planner Pages"), many marveled at the fact that Berkeley, CA was host to this revolutionary community center, dance and movement studio, library, performance venue and Floatation Tank departure platform, and those were, as many remember, magickal times. As Eric Stanley stated at the time “I don't know if it will fly, but at least it will make a beautiful arch across the sky”. That it did, Eric, that it did. Well, she lifted off in 2001 and hovered till now in Briah, and I am happy to announce she is coming down for another visit to the physical plane. 2011 will see the re-opening in the S.F. bay area of Metaversal Lightcraft, tanks and all, and we're looking forward to interaction with our good friends and with those friends we have yet to meet. The Gemstone Sphere collection, the esoteric Bookstore, and Sonic Emporium are already back up and running on-line Yoga, Tarot, and Astrology classes are happening with regularity (it's good to be regular) and in May watch for live musickal events to thrill and inspire. Love, is not just a good idea, it's the Law!

SATURNSDAY APRIL 16The Day of Saturn in the kabbalistic World of Water, Briah. Wearing Black and facing North, invoke the spirit of Johnny Cash into your Base Chakra (The Malkuth "Lil' World" Morphogenetic Field Transceiver) with the mantrum. "Because your mine, I walk the line". With it being Waterweek, honor Saturn today by creating greater stability in the Metaverse, actively expressing or experiencing your security needs, and cleansing and strengthening your base Chakra. Our consciousness in this chakra is concerned with survival, with our fight or flight response, with our instincts. It links the individual with the physical world. Serves as the foundation to evolve and build personality. If we are to ignore this chakra, and concern ourselves with the higher levels, we will be growing without roots, we will be unstable, unable to withstand the trials that will come our way. If our survival needs are met, the Base Chakra will function healthily, but if there is a perceived threat to this, (such as a difficult house move, job change, health problems, etc.) it can create an imbalance. Other Saturnian imbalances can show themselves in various ways, from sleeplessness and the inability to relax, to obsession with money, possessions or health. The Moon is balanced in Libra today. Libra represents the period from 23 to 42 years old, when partnerships are made and balance is sought between others and oneself. On the World scale Libra is between 400and 1100 AD, when division of the church and state took over, and the Dark Ages swept over Europe and Asia. The opposition is symbolic of the fact that in order to emerge from the unconscious, internal conflicts must be brought out into the light of day. Marriage was the primary process through which opposing countries where integrated into a whole. With the Moon in Libra we are aware of our communal relations, law, justice and balance. The 7th house (Libra) has been called the house of marriage. The key to the New Aeon of MA'AT is figuring out the new symbol for Libra, as the institution of marriage was originally designed as a tool by the Church to secure it's future domination. Those that cannot find this new symbol and perform these symbolic rites on themselves and their tribe, and the whole fabric of material being, will inherit only the blues, decay, and husks. Think more in terms of partnership and remember, your heart must be light as a feather. Take this time to be good to your Libra ruled kidneys. These amazing organs filter some 400-500 hundred gallons of blood a day. Lemons, beets, cranberry juice and cabbage and leafy vegetables are all healing to your kidneys.

FIREWEEK
First Quarter Moon
APRIL 3 to APRIL 10

The New Moon in Aries is the true starting point of the astrological year. While there is some danger in going too far too fast, it’s better to take chances by exploring unfamiliar territory than playing it safe. Mistakes can be corrected and other opportunities arise when we’re proactively pushing ahead instead of being passive now.For I say unto you: it would be easier fora pollywog to translate The Hunting of the Snark into Ojibway .than it would be to stay calm with all this Aries energy in our solar plexus..The New Moon in the first sign of the zodiac fires up restless feelings and strong desire for change. Impatience and innovation spark bright ideas that can burn out as quickly as they come if we don’t slow down to anchor them in reality. A sense of urgency is amplified by a conjunction between bold Mars and independent Uranus—both in Aries—that can provoke rebellion against rules and reason. There is genius in the air but cerebral Mercury is stuck in reverse until April 23, requiring several revisions before getting plans on track. This Sun-Moon conjunction in spontaneous Aries can free us from past inhibitions, allowing us to begin creating a radically DIFFERENT FUTURES.


SUNDAY APRIL 3 Could it get any more exciting?! Just as we reach the New Moon at 7:32 am/13°30 Aries, the Sun and Saturn reach their yearly opposition, a culmination (a “Full Saturn”) of the yearly Sun-Saturn cycle of restructuring our lives. Not only does the Moon augment the experience, its occurrence on the New Moon seeds this as part of a powerful process on this lunar cycle. It is decision time, a parting of the ways for some especially in relationship. With Mars hard on the conjunction to Uranus, fireworks may make the path clear to reluctant decisions. Although there is always sadness in parting, there is also relief in the underlying harmony that is allowed to emerge once the parting is complete. The Moon plays out the rest of the cardinal dynamics in total today and tomorrow. Today’s piece is contacts with Saturn and Jupiter, which are fresh off their opposition (March 28). Surprising events are in store as we experience the download of their interaction in the coming month(s). In the chart cast for Washington DC, the schism between our two legislative bodies is highlighted. The battle over the budget is significant, as the progressive element finds its boundaries and stands its ground. While fear-generating machinations behind the scenes may still win the day, the people have found their voice and are not about to shut up to prevent a government shut down when American ideals are at stake. Obama will do little to affect the situation up front, but he is very active in the hidden hallways of power.The Sabian Symbol for 14 Aries is, “A serpent is circling around a man and woman who are very engrossed in each other.” (ME Jones version) This symbol suggests that attachments open us to danger because we are distracted by illusion. We may not see “what’s really going on” under the surface of a situation. The truth of what’s happening will be revealed in the coming lunar cycle.


MONDAY APRIL 4
It's the Moon's day in the week of Fire. The lunar orb being receptive and reflective, focuses the qualities of the signs and other planets to our personal Lightcraft. The Lunar center, and its intimate connection with the Holographic Image Projection System, is not only the foundation for the astral plane, but is the fiery aspect of astral energy itself. Monday cannot be weaned prematurely or circumcised without sedation lest it become traumatized and even more crestfallen.The Moon finishes its activating sojourn in Aries with a conjunction to Mercury at 3:04 am, leading into a void-of-course period that lasts until 4:46 pm when our lunar companion enters reliable Taurus. At 6:37 am, Neptune enters Pisces for the first time in 171 years. Because it will return to Aquarius later this year, we get a gentle glimpse of the feel for us in its new location followed by a chance to complete our Aquarian tasks before it goes into Pisces for good next year. The Moon supports our experience of the new Neptune with a sextile at tea time, followed by an opportunity to heal through a sextile to Chiron just before midnight.

TUESDAY APRIL 5
The Day of Mars in Fireweek. Mars hasn't always been a god of War. More
powerfully cool to blast ejaculations of dragonbreath fireballs at the mainstream media charade, to shoot fireworks out the business ends of elf flamethrowers at the fleeing asses of slum lords and their hired thugs, and neo-conservative goons. For I say unto you: it would be easier for a western screech owl to throw a javelin through the hole of a doughnut at a distance equivalent to the length of three
soccer fields than it would be most Americans to alter our ways, our inability or refusal to change the direction of this nation and the continued indifference or complicity to the plight of billions has unmasked us all A day of harmonies allows us to catch our breath, or at least look at what we’re dealing with. Moon in Taurus trines Pluto and sextiles Venus to create a minor grand trine over the day. At 4:02 pm, the Moon enters its void period lasting until Thursday morning, but Moon in its exaltation sign of Taurus allows us to take productive action even when void.

WEDNESDAY APRIL 6
The Day of Mercury in the kabbalistic World of Fire, Atziluth. Visualize your self wearing sneakers with wings as you read this. Mercury's function is to think. To know. To reason. There is no foot race to win here. Language is his playground. The Akasic Library is his home. And oh yes, Hermes is a Love god. He likes the sound of his own voice. Write a poem, a sonnet, or some erotica today the planet of communication, short trips and details, appears to stop dead in its tracks on March 30 at 24 degrees of Aries. The planet then turns backwards in its apparent path through the zodiac. It stops again on April 23, then turns to resume its direct motion at 13 degrees of Aries. Mercury turns retrograde three times a year, spending a bit more than three weeks in "reverse" gear each time. The retrograde cycle is due to the fact that we are viewing the planets from a moving platform, the Earth. The planets, in fact, do not actually change direction, but appear to do so from our perspective. This geocentric, or earth-centered, point of view is the basis for astrological measurements. In a sense, what you see is what you get. A retrograde planet is generally considered more introverted than when it's in the normal direct motion mode. Astrologers have traditionally considered Mercury retrograde to be a time of difficulty in Mercury related endeavors like communication, travel and matters of detail. Some counsel the avoidance of launching new projects or signing contracts at this time. Glitches are considered more commonplace now, as are misunderstood or poorly delivered messages. There are, fortunately, more optimistic views of what Mercury retrograde means. Rather than hunkering down in your bunker, this is a positive time to tie up loose ends, reconnect with people from the past, make mechanical repairs and get systems in order. This can also be a productive period for psychological review as new information can be gleaned from old experiences. For I say unto you: it would be easier for a rubythroated hummingbird to unscrew the lid of a ketchup bottle than it would be to avoid .The void but productive Moon remains in Taurus, overshadowed by the Sun’s conjunction to Jupiter at 7:40 am. This commences a new year of expansion and enterprise. Plant your seeds now!


THURSDAY APRIL 6
Take physical exercise in Jupiter's Day, when he is reigning, and use Jovial things such as Lapis Lazuli, Brass, Cedarwood, blue and aery colours, wine, honey; and entertain thoughts and feelings which are particularly Jovial, that is, expansive, healthy, and with good humour... - Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Astrologer and Orphic Musician

The Day of Jupiter in the kabbalistic World of Fire, Atziluth. The planet of wisdom in this pioneering and spontaneous sign favors originality and shoot-from-the-hip thinking. This is a time when lightning bolts of intuition provide glimpses of the future that will spur innovation. It’s an opportunity to step out of the limits of the past and come up with new solutions for the future. Aries is a sign of immediate action so philosophical Jupiter is not going to linger in a world of wooly concepts. An urgency to put insights into practice creates quick opportunities for breakthrough changes yet impulsiveness can also produce big mistakes. Jupiter is called “Guru” in Sanskrit, which means “teacher.” Its presence in independent Aries is more about self-learning than studying at the feet of a master. While this multiplies the ways in which we discover things, it can make it more difficult to maintain discipline in an educational setting. This can also result in a rejection of intellectualism that replaces dialogue with one-sided rhetoric. Opinions run hot and there’s impatience for action with Jupiter in Aries, potentially sparking political and social confrontation. Immature decision-making and narrow thinking will reduce the likelihood of dialogue and compromise. It's helpful to temper enthusiasm with a dash of skepticism to keep from burning up in the flames of passionate beliefs. Figuring out when to follow intuitive leaps and when to balance them with opposing points of view may determine whether new concepts will lead to real change or rapidly fade away. If you don't have a good laugh today, you are missing the point. There is a whole division of the Angelic Hierarchy assigned to the sephiroth Chesed (Jupiter) whose purpose is divine inspiration through laughter. And there is no vision more critical in the career of the adept than the Metaversal Joke. Did you here the one about the astrologer who broke his arm and attributed it to an accident? For I say unto you: it would be easier for .a yellowbellied sapsucker to conduct Stravinsky’s Octet for Wind Instruments’than it would be At 4:21 am, when the Moon hits the refresh button when it enters socially adept Gemini. A pre-dawn square to Neptune infuses our dreams with restless new awareness, aided and abetted by Chiron to show us what needs healing. Sextiles to Uranus and Mars help us assimilate the sparky energy we’ve been feeling all week and take action.

This is the New Moon in Aries!

This forecast is prepared and written in luminous tiles across your retinas. May it shine forth upon all who meet your gaze. Words grow here slick and filthy and unhindered by enterprise.

The New Moon in Aries is the true starting point of the astrological year. While there is some danger in going too far too fast, it's better to take chances by exploring unfamiliar territory than playing it safe. Mistakes can be corrected and other opportunities arise when we're proactively pushing ahead instead of being passive now.The New Moon in the first sign of the zodiac fires up restless feelings and strong desire for change. Impatience and innovation spark bright ideas that can burn out as quickly as they come if we don’t slow down to anchor them in reality. A sense of urgency is amplified by a conjunction between bold Mars and independent Uranus(both in Aries)that can provoke rebellion against rules and reason. There is genius in the air but cerebral Mercury is stuck in reverse until April 23, requiring several revisions before getting plans on track. This Sun-Moon conjunction in spontaneous Aries can free us from past inhibitions, allowing us to begin creating a radically DIFFERENT FUTURE.


SUNDAY APRIL 3
Could it get any more exciting?! Just as we reach the New Moon at 7:32 am/13°30 Aries, the Sun and Saturn reach their yearly opposition, a culmination (a “Full Saturn”) of the yearly Sun-Saturn cycle of restructuring our lives. Not only does the Moon augment the experience, its occurrence on the New Moon seeds this as part of a powerful process on this lunar cycle. It is decision time, a parting of the ways for some especially in relationship. With Mars hard on the conjunction to Uranus, fireworks may make the path clear to reluctant decisions. Although there is always sadness in parting, there is also relief in the underlying harmony that is allowed to emerge once the parting is complete. The Moon plays out the rest of the cardinal dynamics in total today and tomorrow. Today’s piece is contacts with Saturn and Jupiter, which are fresh off their opposition (March 28). Surprising events are in store as we experience the download of their interaction in the coming month(s). In the chart cast for Washington DC, the schism between our two legislative bodies is highlighted. The battle over the budget is significant, as the progressive element finds its boundaries and stands its ground. While fear-generating machinations behind the scenes may still win the day, the people have found their voice and are not about to shut up to prevent a government shut down when American ideals are at stake. Obama will do little to affect the situation up front, but he is very active in the hidden hallways of power.The Sabian Symbol for 14 Aries is, “A serpent is circling around a man and woman who are very engrossed in each other.” (ME Jones version) This symbol suggests that attachments open us to danger because we are distracted by illusion. We may not see “what’s really going on” under the surface of a situation. The truth of what’s happening will be revealed in the coming lunar cycle.

MONDAY APRIL 4
The Moon finishes its activating sojourn in Aries with a conjunction to Mercury at 3:04 am, leading into a void-of-course period that lasts until 4:46 pm when our lunar companion enters reliable Taurus. At 6:37 am, Neptune enters Pisces for the first time in 171 years. Because it will return to Aquarius later this year, we get a gentle glimpse of the feel for us in its new location followed by a chance to complete our Aquarian tasks before it goes into Pisces for good next year. The Moon supports our experience of the new Neptune with a sextile at tea time, followed by an opportunity to heal through a sextile to Chiron just before midnight.
