I had all good intentions to get this post out before the actual Full Moon lunar eclipse which occurred this morning at 5:12am mountain time but I got distracted by blossoms and birds and moon-gazing. Not surprising as we are full in to Gemini season with this Full Moon at 5 degrees Sagittarius opposite the Sun at 5 degrees Gemini and Mercury gearing up to move retrograde in Gemini on May 29 and nothing says DISTRACTION like Gemini. I am feeling a surge of creative energy and spent most of these last days clipping honeysuckle and Newport plum branches to arrange in my collection of pitchers and planting pots of flowers before the moon tuned full. Not to mention spending long periods of bliss-out time listening to birds chattering and romancing as I was tuning into the eclipse energy, open to guidance.

Eclipses are trigger points for change and change is in the air everywhere you turn. Where an eclipse falls in your birth chart will show you where shifts, adjustments, growth, and blossoming will be triggered in your personal life. In the collective we are all moving towards purging our deepest shadow wounds, shifting our thinking to encompass a more global perspective…but this is a process! For the moment it seems polarities are more evident, all to be revealed, acknowledged, healed and released. What reality will you choose to inhabit? You get to choose and then that becomes your reality. If you choose fear and separation and otherness – that is your reality. if you choose Oneness, unity, and reveling in the wild and wonderful diversity of life of earth – that will be your reality. It is a great moment in time of choosing, what will you choose? Love or Fear?

Free will is only FREE if you have you cleared your unconscious programming, the purging of Pluto as it enters the final degrees of Capricorn. Who is your authority? Who’s your boss? Hidden agendas? Collective or parental programming? As Pluto enters the shadow of an epic Pluto return in the chart of the U.S. you can be assured that all shadow, hidden crap will be surfacing for healing. That is fairly obvious even if you only catch a snippet of the goings-on around you. Personally, you too are ready to purge any leftover crap and receive the healing of a new way to embrace life. When Pluto enters Aquarius in 2024 we will truly enter the Aquarian age and old paradigms of domination and outer authority are just not going to fit any more. You will not be able to take them with you into the new ways. Your work over these next few years, is to purge, purge, purge the old ways to make way for the new. The winds of change are upon us. There is no turning back. And in the ineffable words of one my beloved teachers, Freddy Mercury, “Only move forward, never back.’

And speaking of Mercury we’re in a HIGHLY mercurial time right now and things are exceptionally sped up which I take as a directive to slow down. If you’re on an airplane going unthinkably fast hurtling through the sky you are actually sitting still. The planet itself is hurtling through the cosmos but you are seemingly still. The faster things go, the calmer you stay, the more enjoyable the ride. It’s just the physics of how it all works and when you are aligned with the natural laws of physics you will have such a more relaxed and fun ride. After all, this IS the ride of your life and YOU get to choose how you experience it. Purge your emotional crap and let’s get on with creating a spectacular planet where all are honored, respected, and cared for.
