NIGHT LIGHT NEWS
ESOTERIC ASTROLOGY AS NEWSApril 20 – 26, 2017
Planetary Shifts, Movements, Retrogrades and the New Moon
I See
and When the Eye is Opened
All is Light
(Taurus Seed Thought)
Sun enters Taurus, Wednesday, sign of illumination. Around midnight, Sun joins Mercury in Taurus, offering an important message. Early Thursday Pluto stations retrograde and Mercury retrograde re-enters Aries. We’re being influenced by four major retrogrades (Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn & Pluto), turning us deeply inward.
Pluto retrograde means lots of investigation (personality & political), reflection upon power and control (over, with?), and the elimination of things no longer useful. Pluto, as it stations retrograde, squares Jupiter. Jupiter brings us advancement, expansion and progress, but only if obstacles (greed, excesses, incorrect thinking, ideologies & beliefs, etc.) are recognized, overcome & removed (Pluto’s task). Pluto then transforms what’s hidden into light.
Mercury retrograde re-entering Aries means we begin once again to communicate & think about ourselves, seeking as we talk, to understand who we are. Mercury is retrograde ‘til May 3rd.
Friday, Mars enters Gemini and all of a sudden everyone is passionately debating again, we can be angry, sharp-witted, talking over others, edgy and fired-up! We assume one side or the other of the debate and hang onto it. Gemini gathers and disperses information. We need to make sure our information isn’t opinion, judgment, criticism, but well-founded facts.
Mercury trines Saturn Monday. Our thinking becomes orderly and organized. We have clear and realistic communication. Our conversations are kind. We seek friendships with others. Trines are harmonious, uplifting us to the Kingdoms of Beauty.
Wednesday is the Taurus New Moon festival. “Let struggle be undismayed,” says Ray 4 (the ray of Taurus). We are urged to learn the lessons of form and matter. We learn about duality and discrimination. Meanwhile, the NGWS each day prepares for Wesak, the Buddha Full Moon festival, May 10th. Prepare with us, everyone!
