Card of the Day
CHEN (hexagram 51)
Ponder this ...
• Who in my world is sparking joy ?
• How can I simultaneously take care of myself and stay engaged in the tumultuous changes happening in the world at large ?
• Who am I in the face of these changes, and in the midst of the many changes I may feel called to make ?
• How can I be proactive rather than reactive ?
There are two questions we must ask ourselves : The first is 'Where am I going?' and the second is 'Who will go with me?' If we ever get these questions in the wrong order we are in trouble. ~ Sam Keen
Find, or be, the eye of the storm today.
Many energies are swirling and shifting over the next few weeks.
Let’s not be overreactive in the moment, but be prepared to be proactive in a way that moves forward but doesn’t push, that supports but doesn’t overwhelm or steamroll, that asks but doesn’t demand, that shifts but doesn’t cause the foundation to crumble.
Adjustments are necessary, but take time and don’t try to change, move, make everything happen at once.
What may seem shocking in the moment could actually just be a revelatory surprise. Let’s not speak or react in the moment. Wait to see and understand the larger picture and what more information and/or additional thought processing actually reveals about the situation and how we can make the best or most of it rather than assuming doom and gloom.

VERVAIN
Vervain has been used for sacrifices, purification during rites and rituals, and to help with sight by opening the inner eye to other dimensions of reality. Vervain helps us see things from a different perspective by opening the sixth chakra/third eye. It aids in releasing congested thinking, revealing new possibilities. It helps to bring about a clearer mind as new energies and situations are emerging.

Saturday • 13 Apr 2019
We are dealing with challenges around power and structure this week-end. We may want to reorganise closets, foundations, finances, and government. Last-minute changes can help us celebrate and engage interesting new energies. Look for experiences that encourage one to step out of a personal comfort zone to be seen, or tackle a small personal challenge that empowers. There are big changes in store on Saturday as the Sun squares off with power planet Pluto, pushing us to confront the dark truth. As the Sun challenges Pluto, we are face-to-face with something that we likely weren’t supposed to see, but now must make a change to resolve.
The week-end brightens under an enthusiastic and sociable Leo Moon. While it may bring out the grandstanding energy in some, most of us will just feel called out of our introverted winter caves and want to connect. The Moon's shift into playful Leo encourages us to seek the sunny side of the street and the lighter side of life. The Moon enters roaring Leo and then makes a square to rebellious and unpredictable Uranus this morning giving the day more luck and enthusiasm. The Moon makes a sextile to eager Mars at 4.13p and then sails out into quiet waters for the rest of the day and night. With the Moon in Leo harmonising with other fire-sign planets, you may sense (or seek) a little extra purpose to your socialising today. Who in your world is sparking joy ?
We may find ourselves in a power struggle if we succumb to the impulsivity of the illuminating Aries Sun that squares compulsive Pluto in the early morning hours. Best to make every effort to avoid confrontations today. Nevertheless, uncovering hidden fears leads us back into the warmth of positive feelings. Overnight events or dreams could have a haunted quality, worries come up as the Sun squares Pluto. Although Saturday will be troublesome with the Sun forming a difficult square to Pluto, Sunday should see our mood lighten when the Sun trines Jupiter.
How can you simultaneously take care of yourself (and the other people, animals and things close to you) and stay engaged in the tumultuous changes happening in the world at large ? Who are you in the face of these changes, and in the midst of the many changes you yourself may feel called to make ? These might be the sorts of questions pushing into consciousness today, as the Aries Sun moves into exact alignment with the Pluto-Eris square (with Saturn and other change-related points and objects nearby). You may find that the more you can answer those questions through direct, non-digital contact with others, the more you’ll relieve any sense of tension that’s been brewing — at least, on the personal level.

A potentially beautiful weekend to get out and about. Our consciousness returns to work in time for last-minute taxes and a cranky but efficient spurt early in the week, then the week ends with a few sparks and an influx of gumption as Mercury enters direct and feisty Aries, our thinking clears and we tell it like it is. Or like we think it is at the moment.
The question of our era is around how power and control are used, how can we empower the individual and restrain the misuse of controlling power over others as Saturn and Pluto conjunct in structural Capricorn over the next few years. This question is amplified every time the Sun, Moon, or faster moving planets stimulate this conjunction, as the Sun and Moon do this week-end and the next. We can ask ourselves some healthy questions around personal empowerment to be our best self.
The Moon enters thoughtful, critical thinking Virgo. Relationships get thrown on the back burner for a few days as work takes precedence. Logistics can cramp our relational style, which is great for work but we might need to consciously practice kindness.
Mercury enters Aries on Wednesday and wakes up our mind. We may develop a puppy-like attention span, but could wake up out of a hazy trance and sense of overwhelm that’s been hovering since 10 February when Mercury first entered Pisces. For the next few weeks Mercury in Aries encourages us to speak up, speak first and consider later; we’ll need to add patience and tact. The trick will be to simplify our situation without oversimplifying and missing a more complex truth.
