Carry forward much of the most recent influences around us. To add to this mixture, Mercury has just gone retrograde. To sum up what is happening right now is if you are meeting resistance and major road blocks, you must reconsider your direction. Most of the change is within. The forward moving, next generation events have momentum into the future and anything else is struggling to keep up when transformation is what is called for.

During this Mercury Retrograde will have the little Hermes in Aries. This can be very powerful in moving into new territory both individually and for society in general. Perhaps it would be more empowering to consider what you can do for yourself rather than what is done for you. Of course there are big exceptions when it comes to elderly, very young and those at a temporary disadvantage. Create networks right now for alternative advice and expertise, also a great time to take control of your own weaknesses for healing.

Friday, April 29^th, has so much is at stake that it is hard to see forward. Many are still working hard towards a goal, but there is not clear vision of how things will work out. Obsessive activities will also only make things worse. Right now our real lesson in life is not to put all of our self worth and desires into one project of object of desire. We all must understand that flow and timing are still major factors in life. If the flow is in the doldrums, then get out and do some fishing instead. You can at least eat the fish. Moon in Capricorn.

Saturday, April 30^th, expect some small quirky bits of luck coming your way through your efforts. Remember that today, the things that work out will be lasting. Anything else needs more time and effort. Take your gifts with gratitude and enjoy your day as best you can. This is a time to consider how the season has again moved into renewal. Things are warm; the skies are active and life if bursting forth on this May Eve. For those who carry the old traditions leave out something to collect water from tonight’s dew or rain to save for special purposes. If you are struggling for things to fall into place, consider that this is resistance to the inevitable that leads to nowhere. Moon in Capricorn.

Sunday, May 1^st, this is May Day and a time to reveal in the gifts of being alive. Leave behind the trials and frustrations of the logical world and allow some time to feast, love and embellish life. I know it sounds a bit unrealistic, but allowing joy to routinely thrive in your life, means you always stay connected to it. Be a clear channel always open to what  you are meant to receive. There will be an additional sense of camaraderie, peace and understanding of your fellow human beings with the Moon in Aquarius today.

Monday, May 2^nd, I would like to say that the veils of illusion have been rendered, but the commanding elements in our world still have significant skeletons to uncover. Don’t be disheartened, the Grand Trine in operation with Pluto, the Darwinian agent of transformation, is working overtime to create something we can depend on. For those of us who remember knowing that the system worked for us and rewarded us, that is back on the fast track again. Keep the faith, pay attention to details and don’t believe the hype. Maybe this is our day to see the value of moderation and plenty for all. The old dream resembles a hoarder being exposed on TV.  Moon in Aquarius.

Tuesday, May 3^rd, a great time to do some healing meditation, also a great time to do some online research for how to address a weakness. We are always better off if we act in a proactive way instead of working until you drop and expecting to be fixed up later. Medicine and Science are of no use to those who cannot access them. Innately there is something you can work on for a better health perspective. Even if it is simply better interpersonal relationships and stress reduction. This is a great time to connect with water. One of my first metaphysical studies was Zen. Water has a special lesson to teach us all. It is weak, but can flow past all obstacles. It is powerful in its relentless weathering of the greatest mountains. There is something special about being able to flow in life without it wearing you out. Moon in Pisces. 

Wednesday, May 4^th, watch out for self deprecating words and actions. There are going to be weird situations testing many people and the reactions can be obsessive and harsh. Life does that to us. We learn our lessons the hard way by repeating until we decide that we don’t want to get set up for that test again. This works for the scariest of choices from addictions to having to choose something healthy to eat for dinner instead of comfort foods and drinks. Temptations will be there when you are at your weakest. So early on set up safety nets for your known weaknesses so you can easily chose against the less life affirming ones. Moon in Pisces.

Thursday, May 5^th, try to do your best today and just make it until evening. Yes, it will be bumpy all day.  Everything will auto correct by the time you get home. This auto correct will seem more like a new perspective to how you want your life to be lived. Maybe watch something new and inspirational about the future. Take as much time as possible enjoying every detail of what you know and desire tonight. Do some star gazing. Know that there is an infinite potential for something better and take those meandering day dreams into our actual dreams and see what comes out by the next morning. Remember that there is great polarity at this moment. The old dream is slowly giving way to the new dream. Chose wisely and stay grateful. Next week will be more straightforward. Moon in Aries.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST APRIL 22ND TO 28TH 2016

Sidereal Western Astrology

Something I missed pointing out last week is on the 17^th is Mars in Scorpio went retrograde. While not conjunct with Saturn in Scorpio, they are both at the apex of the T Square affecting mixed opportunities and how mass consciousness is shifting. This retrograde means a lot of anger and hate is forced to be worked out in those who harbor the disharmony. The Scorpio element creates an existential crisis connecting the conflicts of the outer world and the inner world. Sorry to have missed this last week as I was so excited to see that set of trines creating so much movement for those doing the work, that I forgot about those who are still mired in the lower densities. Mars will be mired in this retrograde until the end of June. During that time it will split away from the T Square focus, and go into an opposition with communications and how we think, then just obsessive behavior. So that entire time, some people will be struggling all Spring. And don’t get to comfortable, as it will return around August.

Give extra importance to those trying to deal with internal struggles. Some will not make it, but those who are open to rising above those spiritual and cultural fallacies will emerge right side up. Everyone has someone who fits that description. If they truly need to be left to themselves because they are toxic, protect yourself. Don’t add to the chaos. Some things’ only the person involved can rise above. At best, be a model of higher philosophy and spiritual connection. Those who are spiritual have been through a lot and know that there is no room for dogma.

This is also a piece of the benefit to those who want to create life affirming goals. Those who are detriments will be tied up in self analysis and possibly imploding, which leaves room for those making a positive difference to have room to function.  Be sure to keep a raincoat handy for the explosions. That is a survivor mode for those who are tired of those bringing up ghosts of the past to pollute the future. This is also a time where people need to focus more on what they can do than what others may do for you. Keep it simple and keep it sustainable.

This week, Venus conjuncts Uranus and then goes into Aries. This is going to be a tricky time for lovers. There can be some shocking actions from your significant other. Now since astrology is never all one side or the other, I need to say that those going through personal crisis will be best let go. You don’t have to burn bridges, but you do need to let them sort it out. It could also be a time to take your relationship to the next level. Like two worlds co existing, both indicators are there but it depends on who is in an existential crisis. The T Square and Mars are involved in this Venus and Uranus conjunction so be advised you will find the true colors in your partner this week. I hope they are more pirate within rather than the demon. Clearly the world as we know it is in a time of splitting those who have started their journey into the next higher level and those still holding onto the toxic.

Friday, April 22^nd, this is a full moon day. The saving grace is the moon is in Libra bringing some balancing out aspects to those in transition of one esoteric world to the next. There is a contrast of what the world has to offer and what individuals will do for those in front of them. There is also a disconnect to the value of people and what we are really capable. There is a huge crescendo right now, so keep your BS meters and psychic radar up and running today. All types will be out. The manipulators and the sovereign souls.

Saturday, April 23^rd, a lot can be pulled together with an effort to do personal work and keep the communications open for healing. You have to be open to letting information flow. Many will still be hiding under the concept of no change even if that world is very painful. But the wheels of change are upon us and while those refusing to move out of the dark may find solace under their rock, the challenge is still there to rise above into something better. Moon in Libra.

Sunday, April 24^th, this could be a “come to Jesus” day for those in trouble. With the Moon transiting that apex of the T Square, personal crisis can come into focus again. Any losses from yesterday could have haunted the dreams and realities of those who were left behind due to toxic behavior. While it is a nice idea to be able to wash away the past and start out fresh, the real work is keeping the promise without creating a bigger monster than before with unyielding dogma. If you still care about someone like this, be a light of example, but let them prove their new self before you relax. Moon in Scorpio.

Monday, April 25^th, another day of proving your true intent. Watch for red flags and demand honesty. Not all the work is with those who have disconnected reason from emotional reaction. Others may have to make adjustments in their own expectations as well, just not as destabilizing as those lost in the veil of anger and hate. Also if you and your sweetie have parted ways you will be feeling strong enough to stand alone. Venus is now in Aries and adventure with independence is very appealing for the next month. Don’t settle for the same ole situation. Moon in Scorpio.

Tuesday, April 26^th, take a breather from the harsh realities of your personal relationships and how the world is treating you. Connect with trusted friends and create some perspective to the present and what the future needs to look like. There will be a tendency to go too far, but keep the drinks light and the conversation nurturing and you will benefit. Moon in Sagittarius.

Wednesday, April 27^th,  as the Moon conjuncts Pluto in Sagittarius, there are signs all around you telling you that your perspective is on course. This has more to do with transformation than manipulation of the situation. Learning to flow with things can take a great deal of stress off of a soul. Be aware that there are some repercussions possible from relationship changes. Someone wanting the status quo may get up in your face or a new found solitude will feel scary. I hate to enter into conversations of domestic abuse, but this is a day to be wary. Cover for your friends who have just made some life changes as well. Volatility is everywhere. Moon in Sagittarius.

Thursday, April 28^th, not much is different today except that if you have made the right choices you should see results today. Also that wish you were working on last week may start to need some adjusting today. Do the work, both internal and external, and results will flow. Moon in Sagittarius until this evening when it goes into Capricorn.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST APRIL 15TH TO 21ST 2016

Sidereal Western Astrology

Some general changes this week are a sense of urgency to get going with something you have been holding back. With the Sun finally moving into Sidereal Aries, the get up and go to accomplish your goal is there. Also through June 7^th ,2016, a Grand Trine in fire will be holding a strong wave of power to make those goals possible. Any obstacles along the way are merely opportunities for creative adjustments. Stay on your toes for adjustments and direction. We have been in doldrums all winter and now Spring is going to give us a way to use that pent up energy. I hope you have been making your plans because now is the time to get the ball rolling. On June 7^th, a Grand Square will occur like a seal of closure to this cosmic episode. So if you are making agreements, try to have all work in place by June 7^th.  WEEKLY VIDEO FORECAST

With the T Square continuing, expect challenges to your plans and opportunities. A clue to what direction to take is whether there is a flow to progress or not. If you keep getting closed doors, be sure to re-evaluate and adjust. The energy to get it done is there, just be smart about how it is done and your desires are met. Like any artist in the journey to create a vision, rules of construction must be obeyed.  

The full moon will be on the 22^nd  of April.  It is also Earth Day. I am so glad they started to celebrate and honor this time of year. So much of modern life takes us to enclosure and seclusion to the very pulse that gives us life and can bring absolute joy. Most areas are in full green and freshness. Bring some of that into your life by spending time in the sounds and atmosphere of nature.  

Friday, April 15^th, well besides this being tax day, take that release of last year and do a bit of celebration. There are two Grand Trines today in both Fire and Water. Which translate to creative force and desires flowing together. Take the lessons of last fiscal year and dream big for changes this year. I know it is a election year and many opportunities are on hold, but positioning for the future is always a smart strategy. Almost every planet is involved in this set of trines, so take some time to work through the mists of illusion that are still present and see what you can grasp. I personally will be doing a visioning of what I want to see in my future. Taking notes of the steps involved for goals. Don’t put off this great day or evening and at least wish on the moon. Listen carefully for responses from higher beings. Moon in Cancer.

Saturday, April 16^th, while moments of increasing your emotional wellbeing are favored at this time, bear in mind that philosophical differences will be causing tension in your relationships. This is a great time to double check the source of your reactions. Dealing with past trauma? Don’t do that to your newest interest. Take a breath and stay present at all times. Keep words positive or honest. At any stage of the relationship game, hurt feelings can be hard to fix. Careful use of words will be respected, especially if you feel a blast of demands surfacing. Moon in Leo.

Sunday, April 17^th, at this point of the Grand Trine in Fire, your personality conflicts will start to be less of a hindrance to your enjoyment of the love of life. The atmosphere is right for connecting up with synchronicities to enjoyment and better things to come. There is still a strong sense of denial and are we fooling ourselves in some expectation. Wake up today and let go of those heavy burdens of having it only your way. Life can be more marvelous when you know that a co-conspirator’s desires are just as interesting as what you could imagine. Open up to the change of winds. Maybe go fly a kite and remember what wonder there is in just utilizing what is naturally around you. Moon in Leo.

Monday, April 18^th, another day of going with the flow. In many cases the change is within. Lose the internal struggle when faced with things you cannot change or control. This is a good day to recognize where you fit in the present set of events. Keep the positive energy that is around you so that the less desirable aspects don’t have room in your psyche. Moon in Leo until later this evening when it goes into Virgo.

Tuesday, April 19^th, this will be a hard day to get down to the nitty gritty parts of life. Also health concerns may creep into your mind today. Much of it is psychological because of the intense energy going on right now bringing high energy to every situation. Take some time to do maintenance on your body so that the mind does not “crash” in the surge. This is a great time to take up yoga and get back on that healthy diet. Like any time of download, keeping the vessel in good running order is imperative to handling the next phase. Moon in Virgo.

Wednesday, April 20^th, today you should start to feel better, but the stress of getting what you want will be greater. Stay on the health kick and stay away from the temptations. Feeling like a forced physical and mental make over can sabotage the strongest will. Remember not to reinvent the wheel as many things about your life just need fine tuning. Release the outdated to make room for what needs to expand. Be engaged in fine tuning your routine too so you can be your best during this time of action and creation. Moon in Virgo.

Thursday, April 21^st, the first days of breaking a bad habit are the toughest. More resistance to keeping the personal promise either to yourself or others will be more rational today. None the less, it will take some commitment to follow through until it is second nature. Amid the challenges, you will continue to see the benefit to your new goals set last Friday the 15^th. Know that with every desire, there needs to be internal change as well. You want to greet the future with full energy and ability. Many of you have already pulled yourselves together so take some time to solidify those aspects and relax. Moon in Libra.

Blessings and Peace,

COSMIC WAVES FORECAST APRIL 8TH TO 14TH 2016

Sidereal Western Astrology

This week is only going to be a summary due to a temporary health issue that I am having. So to get to the events of this week, a fixation on leaderships’ quirks will be highlighted. While some leaders have a genuine desire to do the right thing, their definitions of what is right will be more of a focus than usual.

 Perversions may appear from out of nowhere too. Saturday will have some unsettling news that makes many people feel very unstable in what they believe or hold true.

Starting Saturday evening, a Grand Trine in Fire will begin creating energy and forward motion of change into something new and bold. This will be a time where a light bulb will go off in many people’s heads. Those with fire signs prominently in their chart, will have a time of great advances and happiness with this set of trines which go on until June 6^th.

With events around the world, expect communications and information to start describing how we will be viewing the future. Transformation is fast and furious during this time until June 6^th.

Sunday April 10^th will find many people boxed into a corner, but since it is a weekend, don’t fret as things will shift soon and it is a great day to take a break from everything and just recharge.

Also, romance will start to take a larger role in our lives. That will go on until April 27^th. I suspect that the outside world will have less impact on many because of the engagement of love and fulfilled desires happening in our own lives. 

The Moon will shift this week from Aries to the beginnings of Cancer by April 14^th.
