Blog Post 12 April 2018
On Monday we are out of Mercury Retrograde and it is time for us to put into practise all that we have re-assessed, re-learned and re-discovered about ourselves and our lives over the last three weeks.  This Mercury Retrograde has been and still is a particularly important one.  This is because it occurred right at the beginning of the 2018 astrological year and therefore all that was brought to your attention to focus upon, and all that you felt you needed to re-look at, is about your year ahead and the direction you are currently taking.  The Arian energy controlling Mercury during his Retrograde phase, and when he turns Direct Monday, is all about putting yourself and what you believe in, first in your life.
We cannot move forward and do what is best for our own personal soul journeys, which is the only real responsibility you have in any given lifetime, if we are overly focussed on the wellbeing, success and progress of those around us.  Your life is your own, no-one but you are responsible for your happiness, your success and your joy.  As we all delve deeper into the Year of the Sacred Relationship we are being given more insight and awareness as to the roles we play in the lives others, and how much this takes us away from the roles we are supposed to be playing in our own lives.  This Retrograde period is enabling us to see and understand more about our purpose and our path and what we can do to make sure that our dreams, goals and needs for this year and beyond are first and foremost in our minds.  The number one rule of spirituality is that “There is nobody in the world more important than you”.  And as we move forward next week out of Mercury Retrograde, our vision for your future should be firmly imbedded in our minds and with the assistance of the Universe, we can begin to draw and attract to us, what it is we need in our lives.
Just a few hours after Mercury turns Direct on Monday, we will have a New Moon in Aries.  This will be the first New Moon of the 2018 Astrological Year meaning it will be our first opportunity to create new beginnings and new goals in our lives.  As we move into this powerful lunar energy, we are well prepared by the intense Arian energy we have experienced since mid-March, to really put ourselves, and our individual needs first.  I would ask you to do this in the knowledge that when you focus on what is for the highest good of yourself, you are working with the highest energies and therefore what is for your highest good, will also be for the highest good of all concerned.  If we all focus on our highest intentions for our lives and for this planet, then we send out an incredibly strong energy of attraction to the Universe, and she will respond in kind.  The time has truly come for us all to remember the power of positive thought and the power of positive action especially when it is being shared by many many souls.
We are slowly but surely starting to see how much power we have to make a difference and to Be the change the world needs to see, and even more importantly we are starting to do so TOGETHER as a combined, like-minded and peace-focussed force to be reckoned with. The power of linking our minds and our intentions together for the greater good of all concerned is truly formidable when it is allowed to be activated, and it is this energy that we all need to believe in and create within our ourselves and our communities. A beautiful example of this in action are the children of the US – standing together as a force to be reckoned with against Gun Laws in America.
Mercury’s Direct movement and the New Moon in Aries are the start of a very busy month of planetary activity so use these energies to align yourself and to focus on what you wish to achieve; setting new goals and starting those new ventures. Once you have done your research and inner reflection through the Mercury Retrograde period, you can use the energy of Aries’ ruler Mars – the planet of motivation, passion and action – to believe in yourself and all that you are capable of, and to make your dreams a reality.  New Moon Blessings to you all xox
