Time for anoth­er real­i­ty check…and you know it is going to
hurt…at least just a lit­tle (and maybe more than a lit­tle). But this is the
way, this has always been the way…This is how you grow, for the pain you
encounter is the nec­es­sary cat­a­lyst that will help you to let go of the lesser
sense of your­self, so that you might dis­cov­er the greater with­in and around you
too.

Venus rules your val­ues, your
appre­ci­a­tion of beau­ty and your love for one anoth­er. In the end, it all comes
down to this one fun­da­men­tal truth, it all comes down to your rela­tion­ship to
your own wor­thi­ness, to your own val­ue of yourself…to your love of self.

Four times a year you need (and
you will get) a real­i­ty check about your love of self which will equal­ly and
pro­por­tion­al­ly be reflect­ed in the love you have with and for one anoth­er. You
will look with­in to take the mea­sure of your­self, then look around and see how
well you have giv­en and received of your­self, how well you have loved and are
loved in your life.

This time Venus is in Aquarius,
and she is seek­ing to extend your expe­ri­ence of the free­dom that is found in
and through your all your self-real­iz­ing authen­tic­i­ties. To be one­self, to be
true to one­self com­plete­ly, to have the free­dom to be tru­ly one­self without
limitation…well, that is every­thing to you with Venus in Aquarius.

But Sat­urn has a poignant
reminder for Venus now…you can only be as free as your con­nec­tion, communion
and devo­tion to your­self is deep and true…and this deep­er rela­tion­ship with
your­self will be and must be equal­ly met and mea­sured in the union you have
with one anoth­er too.

You can­not be “free”
and be alone…for you are only free to the extent that you real­ly understand
one anoth­er, and that you believe in, sup­port and encour­age one anoth­er to be
more tru­ly “That”. For in these deep­er com­mit­ments to one anoth­er you
free each oth­er to become more of your selves than you ever could have been
with­out expe­ri­enc­ing such deep and abid­ing love. 

Sat­urn may bring you to a
painful moment here…for you need to look and see whether you have enough love
for your­self and for one anoth­er too. You may feel a lack or loss of true
con­nec­tion or com­mit­ment, per­haps a rejec­tion and/or some form of
self-rejection…and this hurts…as it should.

But you need to expe­ri­ence this
hurt and see the promise that is there in this pain, to see the pain as the
echo or shad­owed reflec­tion of the under­stand­ing, com­mit­ment and love that is
yet to be for you…and know that it will, someday…for it is your true
nature.

You encounter this pain because
you are not yet out­ward­ly what you have with­in your­self. You would not be in
pain if you did not feel this divide, between what is to be and what you have
so far been able to become.

The way through, the way to
accept and move beyond your pain, is to remem­ber that with­in you, at the
Shin­ing-Burn­ing Bright core of you, there is a spark of the Divine…and this
same Lumi­nous Pres­ence is the very heart and soul and source of Love in you and
through­out all of Cre­ation too…

And some­day you will know, and
feel and live this Truth through and through…

And the illu­sion of loss and
sep­a­ra­tion will be no more.

Some­day…

She slips between,
between you and your Shin­ing One, for it is her time to release and receive
anew the Gifts of the Spirit…and it for this very rea­son that she is placed
there between you and your Star, it is for this sacred pur­pose that she serves
you. Yes, dear Luna brings to you what you will need next in your journey…she
brings you the gifts of Inspi­ra­tion, Hope and Meaning. 

At each and every New Moon, the Sun imparts a distinct
elixir of Spir­i­tu­al Meaning…potent, pow­er­ful and often­times, giv­en your
valiant attempts to under­stand, a lit­tle too over­whelm­ing for you. So it is
Luna’s task and joy to stand between you and these mes­sages, to serve as
medi­a­tor or inter­locu­tor between you and the mes­sages from this Solar link to
the Heart of the Cos­mos. For from the depths of the Sun, hid­den behind his
won­drous Veil of Glo­ry, there radi­ates out­ward an ever-resplen­dent Light that
car­ries Waves of Mean­ing from the Heart of Cre­ation. This Light, which is much
greater and more nuanced than you will ever per­ceive with just your eyes, is a
Beam­ing Bless­ing and it is there for your Illumination…but it can often blind
as well.

And so Luna, dear, dear Luna offers her veil of
pro­tec­tion and car­ries Earth­ward these mod­u­lat­ed mes­sages from the Heart of
Creation…she serves so that you might under­stand and con­tin­ue your journey
toward the greater Light with­in and around you too.

Here at the Eleventh
New Moon you receive the Felic­i­tous gift of Fel­low­ship, of find­ing, bind­ing and
cel­e­brat­ing your tried and true, your stead­fast fel­low dreamers…for they are
quite sim­ply your Faith­ful Friends, your con­stant Companions.

It is at this near­ing to the com­ple­tion of your yearly
jour­ney, it is now that you will turn to see what it has all been for. And you
will real­ize that it could not have been done, nor would it have been
mean­ing­ful, if your jour­ney was by or for you alone. You trav­el with your
fel­low Stal­wart Seek­ers, whose dreams are yours as you are in theirs…for you
are Soul Seek­ers who dream and cre­ate togeth­er, and your lives are bound to one
anoth­er as you seek to make and live in that bet­ter, brighter New World that is
to come.

So at this qui­et moment, in the dark­ness that holds
the Lumi­nos­i­ty that ever beams from the Cos­mic Cen­ter, you should bow and thank
your dear Luna, your New Moon Friend, as you seek to under­stand and fol­low the
Light that will not go out, not ever.

It is with­in you, as it is in her and through­out all
of Cre­ation too, the radi­ant splen­dor that puls­es through this Cos­mos, the Love
of One for one and all.

In this time, and at all times, be with one another…

Be for one another…

Be Friends. 

Your mind is going on a long, long trip…and
you will be inspired and con­found­ed, you will encounter clair­voy­ance and
epipha­nies, and there will be times of doubt and con­fu­sion too…yes, you are
going on a very long trip in Pisces and your mind will nev­er be quite the
same…

Mer­cury enters Pisces for a rather long
stay today. That is because the next Mer­cury ret­ro­grade will begin lat­er this
month, and so he will be loop­ing back and forth in Pisces until April 13. Wow, that
is 68 Days or 9 weeks and 5 days, and how­ev­er you parse it this is a long, long
time for Her­mes the Mes­sen­ger to be mov­ing through one sign! He can, when in
his fleetest moments, move through a sign in as lit­tle as just over 2 weeks, so
this is real­ly a rather long sojourn for him and you…But of course, you want
to know, what does it mean?

Well, it would seem that you, me and the
rest of the world could use an extend­ed expe­ri­ence of leav­ing behind these more
ordi­nary worlds of expectable per­cep­tions and bound­ed thoughts.…It is time to
slip behind the veil that holds you in its thrall, beyond the famil­iar and accept­ed assump­tions so that
you might approach more close­ly the mys­ter­ies who ever wait upon your Greater
Awareness.

For Log­ic and Rea­son have brought you
far, to this com­fort­able place of cer­tain­ty with­in the Thoughts and Forms of
your self-formed Reality…but there is more, much more to this world than what
you have so far dis­cerned. As it is true in every age, in every peri­od that marks off the aching­ly slow ascent, there
are found these plateaus of self-assured rea­son­able­ness where­in declaimers
state that here and now we have dis­cov­ered “The Truth”, that our twin
cathe­drals of Sci­ence and Reli­gion have final­ly reached the pin­na­cle of what is
known and knowable…

And so it is then, pre­cise­ly then, that Spir­it will move as if to answer a call, an inner voice stirs, with
swirling mists of hints and whis­pers that reveal that the Intu­ition­al Mind is
mov­ing to fill the unseen Void that rea­son dare not acknowledge…And you see
it out of the cor­ner of your eye, a move­ment, a shim­mer­ing light and you
real­ize that things are not quite under­stood to be what they appeared as after
all…

Mer­cury in Pisces takes you into those
sub­tle realms of dreams and imag­i­na­tions, into the Foun­tain-Source from which all
Ideas and Thoughts have sprung from long ago. It is this ever-renew­ing flow
of inspi­ra­tion that offers and allows you to begin to see-through the
appear­ances of things as they are per­ceived by you present­ly, and so you become
aware of and are able to lift yet anoth­er veil and dis­cov­er a greater real­i­ty beyond…

You must be patient and open to this your
time of doubt and won­ders, for you must pass through con­fu­sions if you are to
release your­self from those self-cast shad­owed cer­tain­ties that blind­ed you. You
must be con­fused before you can let go and grow into your next Greater
Awareness…It has always been so, for this is how you have always journeyed
upon this Spi­ral Stair­way of Con­scious­ness that leads you clos­er and clos­er, ever onward towards that realm beyond shad­ows, into the ever­last­ing Eternal
Light. 

Open your Mind and your Heart to the
won­ders of your Universe…

For now you will hear more clear­ly the Song that is
Creation.

Mes­sages and Mes­sen­gers are com­ing, but
they trav­el on path­ways of Sub­tle­ty and Grace, and you must Believe if you wish
to See and Hear…

It is your time to Won­der, your time to
Behold…

It is your Dream­ing Time…

In your Creation.
