Astrological Forecast March April, 1994 By Terry Lamb, M.A. C'mon! You can do it! You can't lose faith now! We're beginning the new cycle! So hoist the bag of dreams a little higher and step lively—you'll be needing it now. The world is ready for you (or it will be soon at least). Sure, the plans you made, they're not coming together with the timing you had in mind, but can you be blamed if you reveal your humanness? Things are moving again. Renewal is at hand. You may have noticed, if you have an attunement to unseen energies, that the influx of energy onto the planet has increased tremendously! You'll be feeling this more and more as you lighten up. By lightening up, I mean becoming vibrationally linked with your energy or light body. As the Chinese can tell you, there is an organized, coherent energy system weaving its way through your body. It is a series of rivers that start and stop in predictable places and must flow freely in order for you to experience robust physical health. The health treatments of acupuncture, acupressure, jin shin do and jin shin jyutsu (to name a few), and the martial arts, t'ai chi and chi kung are based upon the understanding, use and manipulation of that system. Within that energy system are doorways through which we release and accept energies from the world around us. That there are energies from outside the planet's aura which affect us in subtle ways has not been proven per se, but for some people these energies are as real as the established effects of the solar wind or the moon's gravitational pull. These people have become barometers for the influxes of energy that others of us are less sensitive to. Take the week of March 6th, for instance. Beginning after midday on Monday the 7th and going through Wednesday, you might say that an avalanche of energy reached earth. Several people who are sensitive to these forces spontaneously reported experiencing symptoms of the onslaught. What did you feel? Let me know. Some of the symptoms people feel is akin to a burst of energy moving through an energy center (called a chakrum or nadi in yoga), sometimes with physical symptoms (such as heart palpitations, throbbing or rapid pulse, light-headedness, visual disturbances, a lump in the throat, indigestion, atypical bowel movements, aches and pains in the body where past blockages or injuries have occurred and so forth). Many people are experiencing this who have never had any such symptoms before. The one central characteristic of the symptoms is that they are anomalous—they have no apparent correlation with other medical conditions and often do not respond to standard medical treatments. You may have the sense that the symptoms are different and occur for atypical reasons. If you recognize your own experiences in this, I urge you to get checked by both your regular physician and someone who is aware of and understands these subtle energy phenomena (such as an acupuncturist, holistic chiropractor, homeopathic doctor or massage therapist). What is all this about? This is one question that astrology can hope to answer. Keeping in mind that the planets follow forces that we also follow, there are three patterns of planetary interaction in the heavens right now which suggest that such phenomena might occur. One of these occurs every 176 years and co-occurs with a stimulation of electromagnetic energy patterns. The second relates to a boost in voltage. The third is associated with the grounding of this energy into the physical world around us. It makes for exciting times, because now we have movement, a factor that we did not have at our disposal for about a year and a half. When we get movement after being stuck so long, the experience can be shocking as blockages are broken through and change finally occurs. We will all be trading in our old problems for new ones! April, May and June will bring this activity toward fruition as a part of the natural yearly cycle of winter dormancy, spring growth, summer ripening and autumn harvest. By now your plans should be taking shape, and you may be able to see well enough what the year holds for you. If you were born in the late `40's or early `50's, or if you are a Virgo or Scorpio, this can be a time of special growth and great reward after years of hard work. No matter when you were born, every effort counts even if the reward period is not yet at hand. Keep your eyes on the prize and make every action count, and you will find that your time will come. MAY: Challenge with a Silver Lining A timetable begun last summer (Aug. 20) finds resolution at last. It has to do with an issue which you would have begun dealing with around then, but gained your attention around Dec. 23, Feb. 24 and Mar. 11. This may involve health, spiritual growth, work and the healing professions. The first is also the date of traditional May Day, or Beltane. This is the ancient spring fertility festival when the crops were blessed and spring fever was expressed freely. If now our celebrations of Beltane are tamer, they are nonetheless joyous in joining with Nature in Her frenzy of growth. Through the 6th, we deal with the manifestation of larger issues in smaller arenas, expressing through communications and relationships. Keep track of what is happening now, because it may come to bear upon your experiences in October and November, when you will need to deal with these issues. It may be possible, by the way, to head off difficulties now before they become real challenges—but I have found that often foresight does not lead to resolution, only preparation. The 7th may bring inflammation to existing issues. If you have any health problems, you may experience a healing crisis. This can involve an exacerbation of symptoms before their resolution. It is a good day for clearing communications. The next day is considerably more charged with explosiveness, but whatever you need to do may have to wait until the 8th or after, with lasting positive effects related to events which occurred around Aug. 15, Nov. 20 and Feb. 11. Darkness descends on the 10th, the more so because this New Moon is also a solar eclipse. This begins a new 6-month period that carries much the same theme as the one that began in mid-November last year. You will be reevaluating and refurbishing various aspects of your life at this time. Look for shifts in international issues at this time, as we often experience major activity related to various world crises during an eclipse. For instance, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait on an eclipse. Strident energies may dominate your feelings and activities on the 11th, 12th and 13th; but if you have the time, focus on finding a little peace through meditation or lunch with a friend. Health treatments done on the 13th will be unusually beneficial. If problems arise, the solutions are just around the corner, if not already at hand. The 14th may take you back in time in some way or another. It may be a day to ease off, because any vigorous effort is likely to end in frustration, if not misfortune in the form of an accident or argument. This is a good day for letting things flow. Have faith; your efforts will be rewarded. Exercise the antidote to loss of perspective—stepping back and observing from outside yourself. You'll soon see what your best course of action is. This is true for the 15th through the 19th. The 16th and 17th make us aware that deeper forces are at work, that opportunities can flow our way if we leave the door open for them. Whatever comes to light on these days are the beginnings of fruits from beginnings made in mid-November, with significant events occurring on Feb. 28th. Resolution will come at the beginning of August. Events related to Whitewater are following this timing. The 18th carries an explosive response for those who would act impulsively. On the 20th, the Sun enters Gemini, the busybody of the Zodiac. They love to be in on everything, and you may notice that people are inclined to be more inquisitive and restless than usual. It is a time for learning and the desire for stimulation from your environment. The 21st through the 23rd will find you focusing on communications and the way you think about things. In order to say the right things, you need to have the right attitude and approach. When you can come from your heart, you achieve better results. Sometimes it is better not to say anything until you can come from that center within. If you've felt somewhat impulsive over the last six weeks, there's a reason, and it vanishes on the 23rd. Now is the time for more deliberate behavior. If you are dealing with health issues, they will require your focus on the 24th through the 25th, when the energy will crest, carrying any crisis with it. The 25th is the date of the Full Moon lunar eclipse, which fulfills the energy of the solar eclipse two weeks ago. This is an important transition time, when we change our focus to new ideas and dilemmas. The 25th is sure to be a day of awkward communication, and silence may be the best response. Don't take what others say personally. Do something to nurture yourself and reserve judgment on yourself and others. Memorial Day weekend will be a fitting start to the summer, a great time for all. People will be ready to party and will be successful in doing so! It's a time to take it easy, relax, and don't let tiredness get in the way of your fun on the 30th. On the 31st, you may wish you were still on vacation, as a strong escapist energy continues to move us. JUNE: Breakdown Masking Progress June starts off with a bang, but it's nothing that a little fluid industry won't cure. That is, give it your 110%, but be flexible. Opportunities will arise from your efforts. The 4th promises easy travel and communications amidst other minor stresses occurring through the 8th. The 8th, 9th and 10th may be more memorable dates, as some energies of deeper significance surface. In particular the 11th presents both challenge and the means toward resolution, even if some events that arise are of greater significance than can be resolved in a day. On the 9th the New Moon suggests that we will carry the focus of these days through the coming month. On the 12th we start a three-week break in the flow. Activities that we began in early March will be completed, redone or reinitiated during this time. A theme of (self-) nurturance and integration of scattered energies will be evident; and you may find that it is possible to eliminate certain activities that have been necessary distractions over the last 3 months. The 13th through the 17th are days of adjustment and awkwardness. It may be necessary to disappoint someone at this time, but it is for the best. Any relationship difficulties will culminate on the 19th and smooth out. Be sure to follow up promptly on any promises made. The 21st brings to us the Summer Solstice, the culmination of light in our yearly cycle. Although darkness begins its ascent now, we still have three more months of warm sunny skies and summer splendor. Take the time to celebrate the coming of summer—you'll need the time to relax with the other forces moving through your life at this time. Issues surface whose seeds were planted Feb. 21st, having to do with responsibilities and rewards won through hard work and applied wisdom. They will be further expressed in your life around Sep. 1st and resolved after Nov. 9th. The gods (and goddesses) aid you on your path for the rest of the month. A stream of harmonious energies provides assistance where resistance once stopped the flow. The overall feeling of this spring is accomplishment and movement. The direction may not be what you planned for yourself two years ago, but it is worthy. By bending to the desires of our inner being, we ensure our success in fulfilling our life purpose. Truly we will progress on this path this year. Blessed Be! |
