| Life's Greatest Adventure!
| | | | | | Hi Friend,
Astrologically this week's 'main event' was the New Moon in Taurus yesterday (Tuesday April 29th 7:14 am BST) with a rare 'annular' solar eclipse*. As we said earlier this month eclipses are all about change and, where a lunar eclipse is more about a change in form, Solar eclipses are about a change in our fundamental essence.

| New Moons begin new cycles: they are about planting new seeds, setting our intentions, and envisioning our future. So what does this mean for our spiritual growth and development? As we are still under the influence of the Cardinal Grand Cross ( and will be until about May 15th), we are still in a time of great flux and change. During times like this, we are likely to become aware of what we don't want, what we do want, and what we'd like to change! In other words everything we would wish to release becomes clear to us, and during such times of fast-paced change, it's not likely to be just one thing but more like wave upon wave of arising and letting go, arising and letting go, arising and letting go.
During these times we need to become good surfers. Rather than being tossed about on the tides of change, we need to grab our surfboards, shout 'surf's up', and become even more skilled at riding the waves!
It is important to watch your mind very closely during these times. Where are you holding on to limiting beliefs than no longer serve you? Are you holding on to old ideas of who you thought you were? Perhaps that's where you need to release and let go. Are you allowing old thought patterns, old ideas of who you are, to affect your judgement?
Keep your mind as clear as possible and set your intention daily, from your highest self. Keep your intentions as altruistic as possible: a quieter mind, more compassion, to feel more peaceful, to be clearer, to have better relations etc., because you are actually bringing your highest spiritual nature into physical form. As we said in last week's newsletter, Taurus is the sign of illumination, and yet it is an Earth sign, which is very closely associated with all physical forms. The Buddha had 6 planets in Taurus. All the spiritual/meditation practice you have done so far has prepared the ground and now (during the New Moon in Taurus) it is time to plant the seeds of a new you, and those new seeds are your thought-forms. It is time to change the form of your thoughts.
Then what? As any gardener will tell you, once the seeds are planted you need to maintain the right conditions that will allow those seeds to germinate and sprout. In spiritual terms this means being patient, continuing your meditation, and relaxing as much as you can. This
rare annular solar eclipse in Taurus brings an opportunity to realize
more of your essential nature, which is that of light. All you need to do is to relax, and create the right conditions that will allow it to unfold. Those 'right' conditions are a relaxed and open body and mind, which keeps your pranic energy channels open and fully optimised.
Your busy mind can settle itself if you allow it, which in turn allows for greater spiritual awareness. Look for the 'fruits' of your practice around the time of the Full Moon on May 14th. |
| That's all for now see you next time, and in the meantime... happy exploring!
Best Wishes,
Ruth
* This eclipse was visible from Australia, southern isles in the Indian Ocean, and Antarctica, and was one of those rare eclipses where it looks like something has taken a 'bite' out of the Sun!
