Intuitive Patterns for the Month of April 2011

Batten down the hatches and get ready for a big blow.

The stellium in Aries is upon us from the middle of April till the middle of May. If you thought the volatility index was challenging the month of March, just wait for the next month and a half. Five planets are going to be in Aries, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus with a part of the time with the Sun being also in Aries. This mixed with the Grand Cardinal Cross is going to bump and grind us over the next 2 to 3 years.

Please note that the summer of 2012 will probably be the most intense time.

So take a deep breath and know that we are going to continue to see major changes, socially, politically and economically. Corrupt situations and oppressive regimes will be broken down by the new energy of rising resistance and the deep desire for personal freedom.

If you are feeling divided in your life and dis-satisfied with your present circumstances then this is the time for radical change. You will find sweeping and sometimes shocking changes that will move so quickly that you will be stunned and surprised.

During such times of intense shifting it is important to stay aligned with the natural laws and hold tight to any grounding cord you can find that will allow for some minor illusion of stability in this tsunami of change.

Have you noticed that it is not slowing down, despite what you have been attempting to create in your life? This change of pace has taken off so rapidly that you may be feeling as if you are being sucked out to ocean in a rip current of astrologic chaos.

You would not be far from the truth. It is times like these that the only response is to find a place of courage, wisdom, and grace. Because that rip current of life is going to strip you of all your most cherished illusions and if you are lucky you will find the stability in the courage, wisdom, and grace of your deepest and most conscious self.

For the first four months of this year the aspects of Jupiter and Uranus in Aries give a youthful surge of passions, enthusiasm, and eagerness to grab new ideas as they show up. It gives everyone a feeling of confidence and a belief in the fact that you are right. You are going to do new things in a bold but sometimes foolhardy way. Yet the enthusiasm and energy of these aspects is inspirational and exciting.

In reality the rebellious child within you has taken center stage. This is a moment when all hell can break loose if you are not careful. Life is about choices and those choices have consequences. Not from the old mindset of “You made your bed, so you can lay in it.” But from the stand point of each action you take moves your entire life in new directions. Do you know what those directions are about or what they may or may not give you?

Of course not! That would be impossible. However, you might want to select your words carefully and all your choices should be looked at with as calm of an eye as you can under these intense energies.

This energy is going to fuel our rebellious nature. Remember that the heat is on, the stakes are very high, and this energy is going to break things up. You can feel the sense of unrest in your core. You want to get rid of the sterile, safe existence you have been living. You now want to have something in your life really mean something.

The tension, frustration, and feeling of a stalemate internally will become more pronounced the beginning of April. But with this youthful exuberance and rebellion also comes a nativity and a tendency to want to believe the new rhetoric, which promises salvation, new governments, and the end of suffering. Just remember that they may not be able to completely fulfill that promise.

This Aries fueled time will create the emergence of new leaders, knee jerk reactions, and the desire for people to be hungry to feel and experience their own passions. Any contracts or agreements reached are going to be tense, uneasy, and fraught with misunderstandings and miscommunications. The end of the month gives some relief from this chronic tension.

In May the energies will change and allow a new balance between action and reflection into our lives. In May we will finally feel as if we have actually learned something. So do not give up hope, as there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Personally I feel these changes are going to be very exciting to be a part of. It is a real gift to witness and participate in a life of extraordinary times. Find the grace within the deepest place of your soul and allow this wave of change to shift your reality into a place of aliveness.
