This Easter Sunday presents to us all a reminder of the importance of honoring the sacred in not just our relationships, but also our values. It is so easy to be led astray by the entanglements woven into our lives that we forget the simplicity of the essence of it all. Are our beliefs being challenged in some way? Have we lost sight of what really matters in this often painful voyage through existence? Taking a step back to witness our morals, values, principles, and ideals should help us adjust our sails and realign our heading towards a more pious and honorable future.

When these adjustments are made, there can be inspiring and uplifting progress, albeit perhaps with some otherworldly influences. Do we understand the importance of inspiration? How long has it been since we experienced indelible inspiration? Such inspiration can not only change our mood and minds, it can alter the direction we choose to take in life. During this powerful eclipse season, it would be wise to ponder deeply within which course of action we will be pursuing from this point forward. And that should be driven by the quintessence of what inspires us most.

Yesterday’s etheric persuasions give way to amplified motivation today, albeit with some hesitating uncertainty surrounding our intentions. At the same time we are feeling inspired to achieve our goals and fulfill the whims of our destiny, we are also being pulled inward to begin a very personal journey of self-reflection.

Today’s menu contains a recipe that beckons us to reckon our motivations, desires, and intentions with where we have been and what we have done. How we think, act, and manage our lives may all come into very stark focus and provide realizations we were not anticipating. Ultimately, life is a journey of awakening to the Self. In what ways are we coming to terms with who we are, what we desire, and where we are going? The path is fraught with peril, pain, and sacrifice, but weaving its way through that is redemption, healing, and illumination. It is a tapestry woven with the magic of our spirit.

This is the midpoint between the two eclipses, both of which are lassoing us into the confines of our inner sanctums to listen, reflect, and awaken to the essence of our identity. More than anything else, we should be making time for ourselves to be quiet, serene, and open to everything we might find there. This will undoubtedly birth new motivations to live by.

We are grounding ourselves today to regain a firmer grasp on our capacity for societal functionality. Depending upon our unique, metaphysical psychology and astrology, we may be more or less prone to pragmatic behavior, but today instills such an influence that can help us align our hopes and dreams with our mental faculties to manifest what we want our futures to look like. There may be tremendous work involved to get us there, but today we can see how possible it all is. 

Part of this process, however, requires a good deal of dependence upon our own confidence and determination to master what we set out to achieve in the first place. We must not lose sight of our goals and intentions if we are to continue down the path of personal development, growth, and evolution. What are we trying to accomplish? Why are we trying to accomplish it? These values speak volumes about our identity.

The peaks and valleys of life are often felt in rapid succession, waylaying us from the serenity of an otherwise stable journey. As this week would have it, the grounding and determination of yesterday is immediately usurped by the mystical shadows and confusing seas of today. We are likely feeling the subtle tectonic shifts occurring across the zeitgeist, and how powerfully those shifts are simultaneously occurring deep within our own psyches and souls. This can be disconcerting and horrifying, but such shifts always find us emerging from darkness into the sparkles of sunlight glistening on the dew of cornstalks in the psychedelic fields of our lives. 

And where would we be if it were not for the love and communion we feel with our family, friends, and tribe? There is boundless profound wisdom emanating from the auric tentacles that connect us all to one another. We get so hung up on the dictates of our minds and egos that we forget to forget enough to reunite with the sacred groove that flows through the death of all of us: spirit. This is the song of today.

Tuesday’s grounding influences have evolved through the wisps of yesterday’s mists to remind us of the importance of friends and community and how valuable such collectives are for the fate of not just our sanity, but for all of humanity. There are evolutionary lessons steeped in today’s celestial geometry. Where are we going alone? And where are we going together? There are always changes occurring in our personal lives and in the world around us. Sometimes we resist those changes and are shocked through them. Other times we open up to those changes and surf our way out of the pipeline, victoriously drifting back to shore. 

The tension today can be akin to fixations we feel about any of our myriad attachments in life. We do not want to sacrifice those comforts of familiarity for the uncomfortable unknowns that are queued up waiting for their turn. Perhaps we can compromise a little today by at least thinking about where we have been, where we want to go, and what that transition looks like. The more we prepare for the inevitable, the easier it will be to traverse the metamorphosis. The world should take a good look at the signs and omens of today, for these show us where we are going.

How we relate to each other and what matters most to us becomes of paramount importance today. It is as though we are embarking on a brand new adventure across the universe with our loved ones and our most sacred belongings and core principles. We are feeling a rekindled spark of inspiration, passion, and desire for our freedom and independence, while at the same time wanting to embrace the magic of love and lust. 

There is a fiery, sexual, and exciting charisma burning its way into our psyches and souls today that begs for physical affection, sensuality, and creative expression. We should not dismiss how valuable such an influence can be for artists of any medium. Regardless how creatively or artistically inclined we are, we would all do well to find creative inspiration by any means possible today. What do we value most? What do we want more than anything else? What gets our pheromones exuding from the depths of our deepest roots?

Although Moon remains in the misty depths of tropical Pisces today, there are activations that can churn benevolent progress. We are reminded once again of the value of a disciplined framework around which we can structure our daily lives. Have we designed and built such a framework? Are we adhering to it diligently? Do we see progress as a result of it? If our answers to these questions are limited, perhaps it is time to take our potential more seriously by making time to design a system that helps facilitate actualizing that potential.

Everything we need to bring our dreams and goals to fruition lies within the wisdom of our hearts and minds. The distractions that plague our moments are the petty thieves we let in to prolong the process. It is time to relinquish their grasp on our hopes and visions by identifying them, categorizing them, and strategically eliminating them from our daily psychic repertoire. Habits can be diseases that infiltrate our tranquility and block the roads that lead to the realization of our wildest dreams.
