Harness the power! 6th to the 20th April.
We are in the midst of powerful energies right now, as between the 6th and the 20th of April, four Planets slow down to station and are therefore at their most powerful (Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Pluto)
A fifth planet Jupiter, is currently closest to Earth and therefore also reaches maximum power, which is good news for us all, as Jupiter brings us fortune, optimism, joy and expansion as he meets up with the Sun in Aries and the Full Moon in Libra between the 7th and the 11th April.
The power of the stationary planets, and the positive trine between Mars and Pluto bring us resolve, steadfastness and determination, while Jupiter brings us the promise of better things to come.
As Venus in retrograde, stations direct on the15th of April and conjuncts Chiron and squares Saturn, we will find that we are strengthened by resolve, confidence and optimism, making it so much easier for us to make decisive decisions and to heal and let go of everything that has been painful or has been blocking our path forwards, which this poem describes perfectly :
She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do
it just right.She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her. And the sun and the moon shone
forevermore…”– Ernest Holmes.
These planets station retrograde on:
Saturn: 6th April to August 25th, Mercury: 9th April to May 3rd, Pluto: 20th April to Sept 28th.
Venus stations direct on the 15th April.
