Energy Astrology: April, 2007
Lassoing the Stars for a Better Life
By Cyndi Dale
The Seeds of Divinity
I rarely borrow material from another astrology source, but April
2007, begs me to break my rule. A friend forwarded E-mail from
a wisdom carrier in Alaska, imparting knowledge from a 10,000
year-old tradition, which impacts us this April. The information
closely matches my own assessment, and so, provided the basis
for this column.
I had just been talking with a friend about the confusing swirl
of energies, following the lunar and solar eclipses of March.
As mixed-up as the mess, I have also been experiencing flashes
of gold light and an inexplicable sense of “luck.”
Intuitively, I was sensing that the first part of April would
be critical and life changing, not just for me, but also for us
all. It seemed time to accept our birthright, the fact that we
deserve to own our own greatness, individually and collectively.
What might we expect from the stars in April? What might we expect
from ourselves? Let’s look!
The Brilliance of Divinity
Every month, the stars bend to the earth, reminding us of our
potential and our dreams, but also of our vulnerable position
in the world. The Universe is huge. The earth itself is big. And
each of us is but a tiny speck in the vastness of humanity.
Quantum physics is the study of the little, and how the little
makes big. Everything in the Universe stated as a sub-sub-sub-small
fleck of matter, and look how much came of it! As small as we
are, we are each infinitely gigantic. One thought created the
Universe; subsequent thoughts started light, plants, animals,
and us. We retain this seed of possibilities in our divinity.
According to an Alaskan wisdom carrier, the time period we are
in has been foreseen for thousands of years. It began in October
of 2006, and it closes this April of 2007. During this time period,
we have been encouraged to awaken, to recognize our own wholeness,
and to own responsibility for acting from it. The energy most
active, from March 19th to April 17th, emanates from the latest
eclipse, a solar eclipse in a new moon, which occurred on March
19th.
New moons are typically about beginnings and creation. This moon,
as I sense it, didn’t activate something new—rather,
it reiterated something ancient. Our divinity is something
we’ve always had. We’ve carried it from lifetime
to lifetime, eon to eon, experience to experience. The eclipse
stimulates the growth, rather than the reality, of our divinity.
Maybe it’s time to respond?
The Alaskan tradition suggests that we won’t see completion
of our much-awaited goals until August and September, but we all
know that magic is in the process, not the outcome. Every ending
produces a new beginning, anyway. We’re never “done,”
simply still “getting there.” How can we best actualize
our divinity in April? Get the “start-over” we’re
all looking for? Here are a few ideas.
Living Divinely
1. Count your blessings. Think of how great your life is! Being
appreciative not only attracts more we can appreciate, it makes
us feel good. I can’t help but smile about a recent remark
from my youngest son, which made me sit up and stop frowning,
one day. “Mommy,” he said. “I’m so happy,
I could burst!” I asked him what was creating so much bliss,
and he said, “I just love my dog!” Life is pretty
simple, when we really look at it.
2. Be a blessing. No doubt about it, we don’t only reap
blessings from the world, we give them out. It’s fun to
be seen as a star—even if only a temporary, blinking one,
in someone else’s life.
3. Don’t caretake. I have this urge to remind, however,
that while it’s great to be caring, it’s not good
to “take care of” someone who could and should be
taking care of themselves. We’ll burn out, and they’ll
never learn to grow up. We are all intuitive. Use your intuition
to listen beneath another’s words, see through their actions,
and pay attention to your gut sense. If something inside is telling
you that you’re being set up to play mommy, daddy, or rescuer
to someone else (unless you ARE their mommy or daddy), don’t
do it. Make an excuse, mumble an apology, get off the phone—do
whatever you need to do to get space and not get stuck with a
job that’s not yours.
4. See the divinity in your humanity. What do you think it means
to be divine? Years ago, my favorite diet-cheating food was a
“divine bar.” It had a little of everything in it:
chocolate chips, walnuts, peanut butter, marshmallows, you name
it. If there was ever a sinful concoction, this was it. It was
divine because it had variety! The human walk has added a lot
of spice to our innate divine nature. Being divine is not about
drifting around in a cloud, singing angelic songs. It’s
about getting out in the spring garden and tearing up dirt. It’s
about feeling our feelings, and knowing each as enchanting. It’s
about having a bad day, and laughing anyway. It’s about
buying that Harley you’ve always wanted (whoops, see what
my goals are?)
5. Own the humanity in your divinity. We’ve each been at
this human journey a long time. By now, our divine nature is mixed
with our human sensibilities. We are both human and divine; they
have become the same. We are equally and simultaneously perfect
and imperfect. We are great. What might happen if you start every
day by thinking: “I’m great!” And live each
day while thinking: “This is a great day!” What greatness
might unfold?
