Today, there are five planets in the sign of Aries&#8211;a rare occurrence&#8211;and this, together with the new Moon, means this is a great time to initiate steps toward change in your world. First, recognize within yourself what directional change you wish to make. Second, set a general goal that feels connected to this directional change. (You may have the goal in mind already, but need to realize that your current direction will not be likely to get you there. So either order works.) Third, take a step.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, only you can know what that better future for you is. If you\u2019re not sure, but just aren\u2019t satisfied with where you\u2019re at, then take a step in the direction you think you might like to go&#8211;you\u2019ll get feedback from the Universe, one way or another. But the key is to take a step, to move, to participate in the flow of energy such that you can create a reaction that comes back to you. This is the only way we can affect change in the world. Prayers and intentions are great, but they have the tendency to only create results when followed by specific actions. (The Universe is an interactive place, it seems!)<\/p>\n<p>The nature of today\u2019s energies is such that three planets are emphasized: Mars (ruler of Aries), Saturn, and Pluto. Put them together, you get \u201ctransformational steps forward,\u201d with a dose of \u201cchanging the structure of your very life.\u201d Mars wants to go&#8211;now! Saturn says, wait&#8211;we need a structure to move into first. Pluto says, it\u2019s time to deeply transform our lives. These are the archetypes we can profitably play with over the next two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, your first (or next) step will be taken over the next 14 days. If you act soon, you may even see some tangible results by the full Moon. However, it\u2019s more likely you\u2019ll need to take a long-term approach, because we ideally are talking about a major shift in your lives. Which we can support each other in taking. As I will discuss in a detailed letter next month, the changes we\u2019re all going through now may require our mutual support&#8211;and that may be why they will take a while to manifest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Change is more possible now than at anytime in our history. You don\u2019t need to be able to wrap your head around that to make a small&#8211;but definite&#8211;step, in a better direction, for your future life. Be courageous; you owe it to Mars. But do it before noon on the 25th!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<i>Peace, Rich<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> <\/i><i><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-style: normal;\"><a href=\"mailto:rcycles@transcendentalastrology.com\"><i>rcycles@transcendentalastrology.com<\/i><\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i> \u00a0 \u00a0 805.845.4805<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 10, 2013 Greetings, Self-Improvement Devotees: Today\u2019s new Moon is a particularly powerful one, so I want to urge you to take the next step toward your best and brightest future.
