Hello Again!
Here we are in the 'fixing' or middle sign of the spring cycle! We see nature at its most beautiful now with everything in blossom and ripening. At our human level, we want to preserve and hang onto it just as we do with the things in our lives we possess and love. Enjoy this time fully and then be conscious that as with nature change has to follow. Nothing stands still! We have three major eclipses in the next six weeks. The first is at 8.58pm on 25th Thursday. Indeed, it is a very forceful one, where tensions can come to the fore, so be cautious about assertion. An excellent time though for really releasing old patterns and wounds. The New Moon is on 10th May and the Full Moon on 25th April.
