(Aries Seed Thought)
Two planets (Saturn and Mercury) retrograde this week and we have two festivals (Palm Sunday & the Aries Spring Festival). Sunday is Palm Sunday and next Sunday is Easter. Tuesday is full moon, the Aries Spring Resurrection Festival, the first of the Three Spring Festivals. It’s also the beginning of Passover (Pesach) Tuesday night, the Jewish Festival commemorating their freedom fro slavery in Egypt.
The two retrogrades (Saturn & Mercury) can, at first, create confusion as we all turn inward. Retrogrades are magical unpredictable times, fun and humorous to observe.
Saturn retrograde (‘til August 31st) helps us with discipline, structure and patience, rethinking responsibilities and commitments, restructuring plans and projects. We become wiser during Saturn retrogrades.
Almost everyone knows about Mercury retrograde (April 9 – May 6), turning us inside out, upside down and sideways. Three weeks of magic and mayhem as the trickster Mercury shifts our perceptions inward. We assess (synthesize, eliminate) everything we learned since Mercury’s last retrograde (December/January).
Palm Sunday, beginning Passion Week, biblically marks the triumphal entry of Jesus of Nazareth, overshadowed by the Christ, into Jerusalem (City of Peace). Palms (symbolizing peace, victory & respect) were waved, heralding the Messiah, the Promised One. In our days now, we await His return.
Spring’s first full moon is the Aries solar Festival, when the Love of the Father, the Forces of Restoration and the Spirit of Resurrection flow into the Earth (the Mother). They offer humanity a new “livingness” by restoring moral and psychological health. They bring about the new Aquarian culture & civilization and the new Spiritual Materialism.” And a new hope and vision for the new world to unfold. Join us, everyone!
