Weekly Forecast: April 20 - 26, 2014a message from Kelly M. BeardSunday, 20 April, 2014 (posted 21 April, 2014)
Weekly Forecast: April 20 - 26, 2014
4/20 ~ Jupiter (faith/belief) ~square~ Uranus (freedom/liberation):
(3 of 3: 8.21.2013 ~ 2/26 ~ 4/20)
Expansion
& Liberation coming together can shock the system, no doubt, and
this activation will push you out of your comfort zone, whether your
life is changing for better or worse. It's time to gather all the
knowledge & earned wisdom of the last 3-years and apply it to see
what works and what doesn't. Experiment with new ideas, expand on
anything solid and explore new realms of possibility, on every level ~
physical, emotional, spiritual & mental. That said, the hallmarks of
this activation initially are: impatience, restlessness &
opposition from those who were once supportive (when YOU change, the
people around you have to change or go away, if only temporarily to
evolve on their own). If you have postponed major decisions, this could
be the Universe cracking the whip, as it were, when change becomes your
ONLY option and stepping in to the Unknown is the only "open pathway".
Generally, when Uranus is involved there is a "sudden awakening", the
human challenge is that once the crisis is past or the initial shock has
worn off, people tend to fall back 'asleep'. The key is to use the
square to help do some of the heavy lifting for you, since change is
being facilitated regardless (through varying degrees of friction &
discomfort). Whatever you want to change, add it to the energetic mix of
*now* and recognize what used to be true is no longer true or,
conversely, what was NOT true in recent/long past is suddenly true now.
While this energy can feel very much like you just picked the Wheel of
Fortune card in the Tarot, it doesn't have to be a negative thing
necessarily, but an opportunity to shed the skin of an old belief so
that a new YOU can emerge!
We get 3-chances to work this *Mojo*
during 2013-14. First today (8/21) with Uranus Retrograde
(liberation/breakthrough), then with Jupiter Retrograde, when we get to
edit the current Story (2.26.2014) and finally, with both Direct and
moving toward creating New Paths (4.20.2014) based on Higher Truth and
12-15 years of learning and experience (1997-now).
{Note} Jupiter
is a 12-year Cycle that moves at 3-year increments. The last Cycle was
activated in 1997, in Aquarius. The current Cycle was activated in 2010
on the Cusp of Pisces/Aries and the next one in 2024 will be in Taurus.
Any square is a test to grow, out of comfort zone, in to new territory.
Presently, the test is between Cancer (what we contain, nurture &
protect) and Aries (independence, courage & noble cause); between
what we believe and what needs to change; between the past and the
future. Another thing to consider or frame of reference would be 2000 as
the first test of the New Truth & Story activated in 1997.
Similarly, we initiated a New Truth & Story during 2010-2011 which
is now being tested, in some major way, to evolve. Squares bring
challenges, choices and generally, crossroads that take you in new
directions, learning all the way. Keep in mind that cycles repeat,
however, YOU and the support around you, changes with the seasons.
4/20 ~ Jupiter (expansion) ~oppose~ Pluto (power):
(3 of 3: 8.7.2013 ~ 1/31 & 4/20.2014)
These
two Gods, Jupiter & Pluto, are potent indeed! This is about
recognizing the inherent power of your perceptions and what you believe
or claim as Truth. How much of it is consciously co-created and grows
& expands with you ... and how much is influenced by the depths of
your subconscious? Jupiter moves the Story of your life along and
contact with Pluto indicates an utter transformation, no half-way. If
you've been integrity about the Story you're telling, then this is a
mid-point of sorts that allows you to see what is completely done and
where you can course-correct around any deep revelations. Because
Jupiter indicates success and luck, it can bring rewards for deep
dedication and with that, more power that you will need to consciously
ground (repeatedly) or it could overwhelm you completely. Keeping in
mind any push-pull energies around power in general. If you are making
self-centered choices, things could back-fire in unpleasant ways.
However, if you are making choices that take in to consideration the
relative Truth to others or larger Story, then much progress can be made
because it enlarges the Circle, which brings in resources and energy
from those who share a common vision. Think Higher and Dig Deeper!
Reconsider your definitions of wealth & power.
{Note} This
activation happens every 12-years, however, the Sign Energy & Lesson
changes. The last one in 2000-2001 was in Gemini/Sag, but during
2013-14, it is Cancer/Capricorn. In any opposition, the goal is to find,
maintain & strengthen the center-point. However, that usually
entails first swinging from one extreme to another and lots of practice
calibrating a natural balance that you can sustain long enough to be
effective. In this case, the energetic theme is the Masculine/Feminine ~
Mother/Father ~ Home/Work ~ Public/Private ~ Personal/Global ~ which is
ALL up for a recalibration within and around us. What is the Truth
& Story? How must we completely change where the fundamentals are
concerned?
4/21 ~ Uranus (radical change) ~square~ Pluto (death, rebirth & transformation):
These
two may need a little qualifying first. Uranus has an 84-year cycle,
comprised of 7-year increments (each Sign), breaking in to social cycles
of 21 years (square) and 42 years (opposition) as well. Pluto has a
248-year cycle, and spends 11-33 years in each Sign, which comes in
waves apparently, but reminds us that "Transformation takes as long as
it takes!" Uranus is considered the *Change Agent* ~ while Pluto
represents the ultimate (and permanent) transformation. However, they
operate considerably differently. Pluto works very slowly, over long
periods of time and behind the scenes, exerting its strongest influence
from the hidden realms. Uranus works with lightning speed, change in an
instant, sudden illumination and life is never the same again. They are
getting together in a 90-degree angle (square), which will ultimately
build something, but not before the complete destruction of that which
is not worthy (ending the old way), the clearing and purifying of space
for new growth (preparation) and restructuring from the ground UP
(rebirthing/rebuilding). Squares push us *out of comfort zone, in to new
territory* ~ they help us *build* something stable and useful through
the trials and adjustments, processes and sacrifices made, especially
when they are actively engaged like this ... which is rare. (Uranus
Squares Pluto every 50-80 years.)
On a personal level, this is a
revolutionary time to be alive and all life is affected one way or
another when these Collective shifts happen. Even though both of these
planets are considered Collective planets, they will affect individuals
with planets active in these Signs. So this go-round is primarily
affecting Cancer/Capricorn and Aries/Libra energies, though no one is
exempt. (You can look to the Signs for the themes and lessons.) There is
a tremendous pressure from the Social and Collective realms to adjust
on personal and Individual levels. This activation forces change,
seemingly from outer, uncontrollable influences, but it should not be a
surprise. It usually changes something you've known needed changing, but
resisted and postponed. Essentially, Pluto reveals that which is
already dead, done and over but very often we avoid these deeper, darker
realms. "Suddenly" (Uranus) there is a catalyst (activation) for change
and there is no going back! We *LIVE* during the current *Activation*
which means we can set an intention to co-create. We can set an
intention for ourselves and 7 Generations to come, if we like. Allow the
old paradigms to drift in to your memory and focus on the incoming, new
paradigm. Connect with the new life and new structures rising from the
ashes, like the Phoenix reborn, of all that's gone before. It is not
necessarily "good" or "bad" but it's definitely "over" so don't waste
precious resources looking back.
4/21 ~ Uranus (radical change) ~square~ Pluto (death, rebirth & transformation): (cont'd)
Connect
to your Aries Instincts (independence) and Libra Circle (community) and
anchor your fundamentals, how you provide for your Self and your family
(Cancer) as well as, how you contribute to Society (Capricorn). If you
do that to the best of your ability, you should come out of this 4+ year
*PROCESS* on completely new ground, stabilized in the outer realms and
more secure in your Center to navigate, come what may. There will be two
Activations in 2012, 2013 and 2014 with the 7th and final one in 2015.
NOTE:
The last time Uranus Squared Pluto was 1932-1934 with Uranus in Aries
and Pluto in Cancer. The next time Uranus Squares Pluto will be
2073-2074 with Uranus in Capricorn and Pluto in Aries, the exact
opposite of what we are experiencing *NOW*!

March 17, 2015 ~ 15° ~ Uranus in Aries/Pluto in Capricorn
4/22 ~ Mars (passion) ~square~ Jupiter (enthusiasm):
This
energy can be expressed one of two ways (like most) - you can
over-extend your Self and your resources being overly optimistic without
actually doing any planning or work, relying on luck alone and
unfortunately, this expression will basically make you pay double (in
more ways than one) sooner or later. The better way to express this
energy is to think of what you are DOING today as the benefit to you in
the future. You have access to foresight, so use it to foresee what your
ultimate goal is and what steps you can take today to make that happen.
Focus on what can be, rather than what is right now. You also have
access to increased energy and optimism, which can be built on but not
if you overdo it, then you defeat the whole purpose. Calculated risk is
okay - impulsive reactions - NOT. This is also the energy of when things
are good - they are very good but when they are bad, they are terrible!
So keep it positive, stay focused and balance your input with your
output - mentally and physically.
4/23 ~ Mars (energy) ~oppose~ Uranus (radical shift):
This
is a mixed blessing. On one hand, this energy can bring on impulsive
reactionary behavior. You can have sudden outbursts of anger or
frustration with a strong need to be ‘free' from whatever you are
perceiving as holding you back (person or circumstance). The best use of
this energy is really consciously directing your energy to free
yourself from any restrictions - self-imposed or otherwise. This is a
time when you will be extremely motivated to do whatever it takes to
live freely (by your own definition). Do not suppress this energy as
that will only make it blow up in your face at a most inconvenient time.
Use this activation to check yourself and determine what you deeply
desire, what your definition of freedom is and what you are willing to
do to live a more authentic life.
4/23 ~ Mars (lower will) ~square~ Pluto (Higher will):
This
is a test of what you are made of on the deepest core level and will
require surrender as well as focus. This energy challenges you to evolve
and will make you want to push through all obstacles but you must be
careful not to be so aggressive that you are stepping on anyone to get
where you're going. This is a potent energy that can facilitate major
transformation in your life if you know who you are, what you want and
what you are willing to sacrifice to get there - that includes parts of
your Self that need to shift to be more effective. This energy brings
power struggles, either within or without, so be mindful because this
energy is affecting everyone at this time. This is the time to tie up
any loose ends if you are close to beginning anew. If you do not finish
what you already have in the works, it may get in the way of things you
want to do in the future.
4/25 ~ Venus (love & money) ~trine~ Saturn (stability):
This
energy tends to make you very realistic about your relationships and
is, therefore, a good time to talk about any recent challenges or future
plans. Venus is the energy of love and money, so you will also be
objective and somewhat conservative where both your relationships and
finances are concerned. With this interaction with Saturn, I would
suggest outlining a reasonable financial goals for the next 3 - 6 - 12
months. Relationships started under this influence should be fairly
stable and more practical than passionate, but solid nonetheless.
4/25 ~ Mercury (expression) ~conjunct~ Sun (core-Self):
This
energy will compel you to express yourself on many levels.
Communication will be a focus, just make sure it is reciprocated. You
will have access to some powerful energy that can (and probably will)
make quite an impression on others (if you need to). This is a good time
to travel if possible too. However, if not physically, than mentally
and certainly within your own area, you will take in more information
per square inch than usual. Pay attention! You may even gain the much
deserved recognition from others you have worked so hard for.
4/26 ~ Mercury (expression) ~sextile~ Neptune (dreams):
This
is a great energy for being imaginative and intuitive. This is not an
intellectual energy, you will have to rely on other senses, like feeling
(intuition). You may be very perceptive as to what others are thinking
or feeling. Try to avoid work that requires any attention to detail.
Allow your creativity to flow freely without censoring what comes
through you at this time. You can organize it later. This is the energy
to CREATE!
