Alice’s Astrology & Beyond Spring 2008 These are shifting times we are living in. Planetary movement and cycles continue to urge us into new territory both in our lives and in our thoughts prompting us to make decisions that ultimately serve our highest good, no matter what choices we have made in the past. Much of what you experience will be over the long term of these upcoming months continuing through 2008 and beyond. A process of regeneration began as Pluto started the beginning of his long journey through Capricorn in January. This is a very long term cycle that goes all the way until 2024, but because the crossover into Capricorn happens this year, you will feel it especially strongly as you become accustomed to a new energy. He’ll be there through June to give you a taste of what is to come. So much of what you may experience will be familiar on a soul level but unfamiliar in terms of your life thus far. Pluto will give you a taste of a “higher vibration” in that you will first experience the possibilities of what you really desire to manifest on a soul or a gut-feeling level. Whether it is through a vision of what your life would be like if you made different choices or whether it is through a deep knowing that it is time to make changes for restructuring at a higher level, you will have a “it’s time” kind of feeling to really begin planning to step up and take responsibility like never before. Pluto always helps us to face our fears and ultimately move through them. Pluto offers us the opportunity to transform, to find out that we can be alright not having that which we thought we couldn’t live without, whether it be a belief system, a person or an addiction. It can be scary at first but knowing it’s higher purpose can help you to release. Capricorn offers us the ability to be strict, to create that new foundation or base. It is a wonderful combination. The last time Pluto was in this exact position was when the United States went through the Revolutionary War and issues like the Stamp Tax and the Boston Tea Party Tax were the topics of the day and here we are with major media coverage of tax issues such as bridge and road toll possibilities and giving tax money to Americans to bump up the economy during this election year. Have you been thinking of taking your business to a new level? Revamping the structure of the services you offer? Stop going to the “mandatory” yet boring family gatherings? On all levels you will be releasing that which is no longer of value to you. It is time to burn those bridges, the ones that you keep going back over knowing that you really shouldn’t. These deeply felt needs and desires are going to be felt stronger than ever and just as the baby chick has to break free from the eggshell to experience a new environment, so must you look to see what is keeping you from expanding your own life. The most important thing I can advise on is for you to know that it is time to go beyond your comfort zone. It is a good idea to take the bull by the horns and get ahead of the wave. Go for what you know within you needs to manifest and plant the seeds. Take the action necessary to get things going for yourself in any way you can. Get the energy moving, and place your intent on your destination, even if it is a new one. You are supported energetically in every way if what you are doing is consciously taking yourself to a new level. The good news and the reward for your going out on a limb is a step into a new sense of empowerment. This is an excellent energy that once you abide by, the new structure you create in your life, will be a solid foundation for all you build upon in the future. It is a patient energy as well as a disciplined energy so look forward to having more of this available to you as we move deeper into the year. Finally, it’s a great time to take care of your skin, teeth and bones. Chiropractic care, if you’ve been thinking of it is a good move. Get those cavities fixed. Begin that yoga class. Anything that promotes flexibility will enhance your ability to be flexible in all that life will bring you. Get ready for an incredible year of new beginnings and the closing of old doors. Be confident that it is exactly time to do that which you have known would come forth one day. Be gentle with yourself and trust that all is well in this universe of infinite possibilities.
