Today Venus will be conjunct Uranus in a tiny channel

that has the power to affect all life on planet earth.

 

The reason this tiny channel is so significant is that it links the Heart Centre with the Ji Centre.  Or to put it another way – the ego self with the divine self.  So, that’s a pretty big deal and explains why we all feel a bit queezy and uneasy at the moment.  It has us reaching to be the best we can be, ready to leap into the unknown and take up our mantle as spiritual warriors plotting a new course for humanity.

Another reason we feel so shaken about is because this tiny connection contains ALL the planets currently in Aries – Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. Aries is pulling us out of the old cycle and into a new one. We may not be entirely convinced that we are ready to move on quite yet, but we’re going anyway!

But aren’t we ready already?  Why is it such a drawn out process?  Well one answer to that question is that there are a couple of oppositions happening just now helping us relocate lost parts of ourselves.  Because, let’s face it, we don’t really want to move on and leave important bits of ourselves behind.  Especially as they are likely to be bits of ourselves that our ego’s have disowned as being troublesome or not good enough in some way.  Oppositions have us swinging between extremes trying to find a balance of two seemingly incompatible aspects of self.

Mercury opposite Saturn

We’re trying to get out house in order, but it’s not going to happen unless we allow ourselves to drop heavily into the very depths of our humanity.  Just coming out of it’s retrograde, Mercury is in Gate 21 opposite Saturn down in the Spleen Centre in Gate 48.

The Spleen Centre holds information about our fears for survival, and Saturn is in a Gate that triggers our fear of inadequacy and insignificance.  Yes, it’s true that there is an aspect of you and I that is simply human and nothing more.  This insecurity is obviously not a comfortable fit with the Aries channel that has us wanting to be the best we can, it holds us back and makes us timid.

This opposition demands that we move on regardless, thus purging our cells of old memories of being done in for ancient sins of being and doing, and regardless of our fears that what we can achieve is oh so limited by our human foibles.  It also asks us to be present with our need to express ourselves even though there may be no hint of approval, financial gain or acceptance coming our way in return.

Jupiter and Mars opposite Haumea

These two planets are gates that form a powerful alliance of spiritual initiation through alignment with our deep intuitive knowing.  Haumea is in Gate 57 line 3 and Jupiter/ Mars are in the opposite Gate of 51.   Mars and Haumea will be exactly opposite tomorrow – 24th April, in line 3.

There is truth coming to light and it’s shocking to our ego self, who thought it had things under control! This is new knowledge about who we are.  We can open ourselves to this knowledge and allow ourselves to be influenced by it.  Rather than blocking our fears, or taking defensive and reactive action to avoid them, it’s a time to breathe into them and allow them to speak to us of what we haven’t been able to hear before now.  This is the voice of our own personal truth.

Haumea shows where we can feel exhausted and overwhelmed from trying to reach outwards for nourishment rather than relax inwards.  Listening to our body gives us a rock solid sense of soul self that is balanced and in complete integrity through all layers of being and becoming.

Venus conjunct Uranus

A long standing anxiety inducing problem is a drain on your energy.  Do you know what it is?  Has it been bugging you for days now?  You want to sort it out, but that’s only going to get you tangled into more of a mess.

Stop believing it’s a problem.  It’s not, it’s purely a projection that there’s something wrong with you.  There is nothing that needs to be fixed. Your body knows the problem doesn’t exist and if you follow your natural processes the problem will resolve itself as if by magic and those lost parts of yourself will find a home in your life.  This is not a time to be concerned with perfection, but rather with the beauty of the creative process.

Uranus wants to rebel rather than grow up and take responsibility for it’s own gifts. Venus wants to connect with others out of a fear of going it alone.  Together they support each other to delve deeper in our relationships with each other to draw out our gifts. This is an alchemy of connection and sharing of our unique inner treasure with people who will love and value us.

Ceres in the Crown Chakra

This is the Gate of Already Across The River (63).  We have released ourselves from places where we were denying ourselves nurturing, discovered our own self-neglect and begun to receive the first little mouthfuls of nourishment.  It’s wonderful, but now we have realised we’re really, really hungry.  Starving for more of this delicious nectar.  Things are bound to be slow and uncertain as we find new pathways, take the time to stay grounded, to be balanced and to reorient yourself to the new landscape that is your life.
