If it feels like a solar flare....it usually is a solar flare

Well as it turns out, if it feels like a Solar Flare it usually is a Solar Flare. The Sun had an M Class one a few hours after I wrote my last post .

What happens when you merge a coming Solar Flare with the energy of Uranus (that has been infused with a recent opposing Lunar Eclipse and a visiting Mercury)? It feels like your hand is in an electrical socket and you've had way too many cups of coffee. It feels like your computer (and emotions) are going haywire. 

So if you've been feeling frazzled and fried, this Flare will act like a release and a relief of sorts. Imagine all that energy leaving your body, going out of your arms and hands, legs and feet.
A lot of us were sure there was a Solar Flare yesterday so familiar were those feelings, so it was strange to see there wasn't - until there it was hours later. It is fascinating to me how often this is happening now in the hours - even 24-48 hours - leading up to a Flare.

We know that animals are hyper-sensitive to natural events - they know a storm or tsunami for example is coming. We know we are becoming more sensitive as humans, so it makes sense that we too are now starting to feel natural events before our satellites or space websites tell us they are happening.

Our inner energy technology is more powerful than external technology. Slowly at first, and now more quickly, we are catching up to that realisation. As we surpass external technology, it will eventually either become redundant or we will have created far more advanced systems that are beyond anything we can comprehend right now.

Wishing anyone who has felt frazzled some relief today!!!

Electricity in the Air and Christ/Mary Magdalene Healing

Over the last couple of days it has felt like there is erratic, jittery electricity almost like static, running through the air. There are strange computer/technological goings on, and feelings of heightened anxiety, scattered mental energy, and difficulty feeling totally settled and grounded. You may also feel the heart pumping more than usual and adrenals going, very similar to solar flare energy.

The energy has felt very Mercury/Uranus in nature and sure enough Mercury and the Sun are both on/moving through the same degree that Uranus is sitting on (16 Aries if you know your chart).

This helps explain why everything feels a bit Mercury retrograde even though we are not in one, and why the Sun feels like it is flaring like crazy even though solar activity is technically low. When a planet touches the same space as Uranus it is like it receives some extra zhoozh, a bit of an electric shock or jolt, and of course we feel it down here especially if we have significant planets or points on or near that degree in our natal chart. (You can check out www.astro.com to see if you do)

Aside from this we are still feeling the after-effects of a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in Relationships-oriented Libra that occurred during Easter weekend opposite all this Uranus energy. The timing of this Eclipse feels to have triggered a lot of Christ/Mary Magdalene wounds and healing (that we are only now coming to some sort of awareness around) related to the events/stories that created what our culture now celebrates as Easter.

Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a sacred, divine union, and that was broken in the worst of ways: betrayal by those they trusted, and massive projection by others who felt threatened by their messages and truth. It was and is a very heavy story*. Many people feel this heaviness at Easter all the time, but to have a Lunar Eclipse on this date expands the number of people who feel it, and adds intensity. A lot of people feel deeply connected to that ancient story be it on a conscious or subconscious level, and some are physically connected with their cells via the bloodline.

So a lot has come up this Easter around grief, fear of what happens when one speaks their truth, loss of the beloved or fear of loss, judgment, issues around trust, and wounds/memories/insights related to our true spiritual/divine power: the power to heal ourselves, the divine right we all have to express our Soul's truth, and the pain that comes when we feel that part of us that has not allowed us to do this, or has been actively repressed from doing it. The power of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine has also come up strongly over, and since, the weekend. We are being called to rise up, to remember and embody that Divine Power. It is time to let go of the past, to let go of stopping ourselves from owning a greater fullness of who we really are.

As we let go, we simultaneously let in that which we have had at arm's reach. Our Shadow will often then be in our face: those aspects of us that we haven't owned. Some are uncomfortable because they reveal where we have held ourselves back, and others are uncomfortable because they show our true potential. If we can find it in ourselves to move through the discomfort, there is gold there for us in all those aspects as we re-connect with more of who we are.

*As we know, the Christ/Magdalene story is one of many similar stories across many cultures, yet this doesn't mean we should discount any of the stories, nor assume that all but one of them are copies of an original. We humans are prone to repeat history over and over again. I say this because even while some people dispute that the Jesus/Mary story even existed, it is certainly being triggered right now in people's cells who have a strong connection to that time and/or lineage.

How are you all feeling? Is anyone feeling the electric zhoozh in the air? Is anyone having huge revelations/triggers particularly around your Divine Power/Christ consciousness/Mary Magdalene/Divine Feminine etc?

Lunar Eclipse lighting our fire

Holy Moly, this Lunar Eclipse in Aries that's happening on Tues night/Wed morning has been packing a punch for days already, especially if you have any major points or planets ranging in the 12-18 degree vicinity in your natal chart.

Lunar Eclipses are often about inner shifts, realizations and things coming to light that were previously unknown. This Eclipse is conjunct Uranus so this could play out with something really unexpected coming out of left field knocking you sideways. Or, it might just give you a little wobble and you'll find yourself happily surprised to see how far you've come now that things no longer rock you out of your centre quite like they used to.

Uranus also triggers our freedom-needing, rebellious side that wants to break free from any shackles or situations that have made us feel tied, bound or restricted. We need to watch our emotional responses right now because not only is all this happening in impulsive Aries, but it is a Grand Fire Trine to boot! Mars is in Sag, and Jupiter is in Leo, just adding some pep and fuel to a fire that is already crackling with electricity!  You might feel like someone has lit that fire underneath you, prodding you to confront unmet potentials within you, and triggering you to question your life and how you're living it. If you're feeling this, you're probably not feeling it in a dreamy, watery kind of way, but in an urgent, "I need to take action now, get out of my way!!!" kind of way.

With Uranus involved - and the Grand Fire Trine - we have to be particularly conscious not to project any fury and frustration outward at the nearest innocent bystander, or run away from home/our family/job/relationship in the heat of the moment - and there will be plenty of heat/inner fire/explosiveness/anger/frustration/irritability/volatility/passion stirred with all this fire energy.

We want to take a breath, and use this influence to check in with where we are out of balance - or feel out of balance. Where are we neglecting our needs/dreams/desires/fire/creativity/potential, and what can we do about it? How do we want to best express this energy and passion and fire that is awakening from within us? Do we need to shift our perspective? Do we need to discuss a change of schedule with our boss or partner in order to get more time to do what we feel we need/want to do?

None of this is easy. This eclipse and the trine is on my Chiron so for me it's been feeling like someone going back and forth over any remaining old wounds/old beliefs saying: "Do you feel that? Do ya? Do ya? What are you going to do about it?" It's been very challenging to 'just breathe', (and I can't say I've mastered that having quite the emotional releases lately) but at the same time sometimes it feels good to let the inner dragon roar and have a wail and express ones needs clearly!

The question for all of us now is: how to use and express this energy in a positive way rather than a destructive way be that destructive toward self or others. On a global/political level there is mucho projection going on right now particularly of the fiery kind, and if my personal projections have reminded me of anything it is this: while it temporarily feels good to unleash ones pent up emotion by hurling it outside of ones self, ultimately the source of that emotion continues to reside within us until we have addressed it.

Unhealed inner anger is generating so much outer conflict and violence, which in turn is triggering the community's anger, and the vicious cycle goes round and round. It is a natural human response to feel angry at what is inhumane, and yet to stay in anger is to perpetuate a cycling loop that is surely at its expiration date. Anger can definitely be a motivating energy, but we want to be motivated toward good actions rather than fuel the bad. When you feel anger coming up, flip it round and feel it as passion. Ask yourself okay, what is this feeling reminding me? What reality/behaviour would I prefer to be witnessing/experiencing right now instead of what is? What can I personally do about it? If I can't do anything personally right now, what thoughts/prayers/visions/love can I direct to the situation?

This Fire Trine Lunar Eclipse is powerful and in many ways I'm loving it and am grateful for it - in other ways it is most definitely a time to watch your temper, remind yourself to breathe before flying off the handle or taking any impulsive actions (especially with Mercury Retrograde making things a bit pear-shaped when it comes to communication), and bottom line: look within for the true source of whatever it is you are feeling. If fire is erupting from you, excellent - find out what emotion/dream/wound/desire/need within you is seeking attention, expression or balance.

How are you all feeling?
