April ... what struck me as I wrote out the planetary positions was that Jupiter is stationary in gate 11 line 2, all month ... he's currently slowing to station retrograde on the 11th. Gate 11 is that of peace and harmony (also ideas) and contains the astrological position of the Galactic Centre at line 5.
Huang chooses the name 'Advance' for this 11th hexagram and line two is noted as the host, quite unusual within hexagrams (it's also a yang line at a yin position) ... he says "Advancing with watchful attention and stratagems is the true message of this line".
And Chetan chooses these words "Being Independent: Peacefulness is protected through your alertness. Tolerance, resolution and vision are required to maintain peace and foster your creative ideas."
I also see a number of activations to gate 25 by various planets; Chiron, Vesta, Freya, Mercury and Venus this month so we are really being reminded to tune into our innocence - our inner knowing. On 28th Chiron shifts to 17 so there will be a fresh feel for where to focus our attention with his healing energy ... 17 is about following and opinions, I'll look at this gate more next month as 17 will then be the focus for Chiron for a year or two, along with another pass of 25 toward the end of this year (see February's post for lots of date details regarding Chiron's movements).
Saturn is another very stationary body this month spending the entire time in 54 line 6 as he stations to retrograde on the 30th. This is of course a gate that has received a great deal of attention in the last few years with Pluto only recently vacating it.
54.6 "Being Politically Correct: Watchful of your purpose and sincerity. For Saturn at this position - Being honest in your motives you stick to respectfully advantageous relationships." Chetan.
The Nodes shift later this month as well coinciding with Pluto stationing retrograde on 25th. So our new nodal energies will be moving from our upgrades (where we have Saturn of course already reviewing Pluto's work) toward gradual progress (hang out the bunting ... although with the retrograde action going on for the next few months it may be harder work that you might hope).
And one final noticing ... Isis which is sometimes thought of as the missing piece will be in 7 line 4 all month and this really couldn't be more appropriate in the times we find ourselves (within the UK in particular) ... Chetan has this for its position, and bear in mind we are talking about the missing piece ... Disengaging: Leadership in the highest integrity knows when and how to withdraw. You are either realistic or not about how your leadership can serve others best.
Lunar activity - New Moon in 51.1 on 5th at 08:53 GMT and Full Moon in 50.3 on 19th (Good Friday) at 11:14 GMT.
Easter Day is 21st this year, almost as late as it can be (apparently that is the 25th), and sits right on top of notable birthdays ... The Queen's and my own 😊, we are both 5/1s, Her Majesty a Projector me a Generator!
So the weeklies ...
2nd - 4th the last few days of the Sun in 21 (control, biting through) and the Earth in 48 (the Well, details), Mercury is now moving through 22 and Grace as he slowly picks up speed.
5th - 10th sees the Sun move to 51, the shock and awe gate, and the Earth will be in 57, the most intuitive of the gates, so buckle up would be my advice as we have the New Moon in that shocking 51 line 1;
Chetan says "Arousing: Growing through disruptions of all kinds. Dramatic change can be alarming until you accept all the transformations it brings."
I don't make this up you know ... just wish Parliament was tuned in ... Venus, all things relationships will be having doubts for this period and Mars is still in the gate of the NOW potentially being very forthright. And don't forget whilst we have the Sun in 51 we have the channel 25-51 in play with Chiron, this is the awakening energy, the channel of the Shaman. Powerful if you can harness it.
11th - 16th the Sun settles into 42, all things steadily growing and the Earth is opposite in 32 which is the energy of persevering so this looks like a good week to move ahead. Jupiter does retrograde here but has been slowing for quite some time and Uranus makes the move to 27 on 14th, the gate of nurturing ... I think this will herald some time where we all need to look to our own needs, what nourishes us, and those that don't pause to work it out may well be given rude awakenings ... Uranus is the shock and awe planet.
42.1 (Sun on 11th) Accomplishing: Great deeds are possible. You align with an inner confidence and certainty that grows in all areas of life. Chetan.
17th - 21st with the Sun in 3, difficulty at the beginning, and the Earth in 50, values. Mercury will be conjunct Chiron this week so perhaps some messages for our innocence may be at play in the early part and then Venus cosies up to Chiron for the second half of the week ... a chance for healing relationships perhaps. Now Mars makes it to gate 35, the gate of adventure, his position on the most notable day of the year, 21st 😂, might well chime nicely with Venus and Chiron's positions ... Chetan has this for 35 line 3
Combining: Sharing experience with others. Evolution comes when you fully experience life in the company and trust of others.
And don't forget this is Easter Day ... sounds very appropriate to me!
And of course the Full Moon, 19th, nearly missed that ... 50 line 3
"The Superior person is always recognised in due time. If you do not have the influence you would like, consider whether you may be blocked by some assertion of your ego." BBW
22nd - 27th having shared you can now nurture with the Sun in 27 and conjunct of course with Uranus and the Earth in 28, the gate of persistence/struggle. This feels like a tricky week to be honest. Mercury is perhaps going to be somewhat opinionated and then want control meanwhile Venus emerges from innocence and becomes opinionated and Mars moves into the gate of the Queen wanting to direct all the resources.
I think the Earth's position on 22nd gives the best advice this week ... 28 line 1 "Great care is required when one undertakes great projects. Lay your foundations with caution and proceed step by step." BBW
Pluto retrogrades this week as well in that inner truth gate, 61.3 on 25th just as the Nodes shift to their new gates 53/54 (that means the South Node will be conjunct Saturn - some lessons on where you've been, or rather given it's 54, who you've been with!).
28th and into early May we have the Sun rationalising everything whilst the Earth is adept at really recognising what's on offer. Saturn stations to retrograde on the last day of the month setting us up for reviewing the whole of April during May ... oh what deep joy!
And now for my most favourite bit ... to ask the Runes ... brb!
Have a good Easter if I don't return before!
