Kundalini Splendor

Tosha Silver is a gifted astrologer and also a friend of mine. She writes a regular column for the "Examiner" out of San Francisco. I thought the following comumn was especially significant:

April 12, 2009 Hi everyone...Happy Rebirth Day to you all!

I wanted to pass on today's entry from the examiner.com column I'm doing. Filled with pertinent astrological information you may find helpful. You can see the full entry which has a few extra surprises, plus all other postings, at Spiritual-Examiner. Free to subscribe and be alerted as new articles are hatched.

There's about 55 columns now so it seems to be morphing itself into a book. Anyway, here's today's column.

Enjoy. PS. And since some are still writing to wonder, yes, still giving readings! Just wearing two hats right now. Luckily Capricorn sun in the Gemini house actually enjoys the juggling.

Easter, Birkat Hamacha and the New Beginning
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Something incipient is in the air. Something new,
as Easter opens the door.

You can just feel it. For the rest of April we enter unusual planetary transits indeed.

The first half of the month was meant to be rocky, with a series of Saturn oppositions creating the need for release and purification. I've been writing up a storm about ditching everything you don't need to make psychic and physical space, including old grudges, resentments and vendettas. It's never too late.

Starting today, aptly timed with Jesus' resurrection, we go into rare and exquisite planetary alignments for about three weeks. In fact, I've never seen anything quite like this in thirty years of star-gazing. (And for all my spiritual predilections, I'm restrained, even sardonic, about predicting massive shifts.) But I tell you. This is big.

First, on April 15 Mars and Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, will meet in Pisces. Opening act of major surprises. Then April 17, Venus will go direct after its six week retrograde. If you've been dealing with endless relationship and financial snafus since March 5 some may begin to resolve.
But that's just the prelude.

The upcoming waltz between Mars and Venus is the pièce de résistance. Venus has just retrograded to 29 degree Pisces, the final sacred degree of the zodiac, where She will simply sit for the next seven days like the Holy Mother waiting to give birth. By next weekend, April 19, Mars will be moving forward in Pisces to reach Venus at that cosmic threshold. For the following week Venus and Mars will move together out of that ultimate Piscean degree of purification to 0 degree Aries and restart the zodicac. Major new beginnnings may well ignite on relationship and creative fronts. But it's bigger than all that. Venus and Mars uniting to cross this zodiacal doorway really is about the tantric integration of the masculine and feminine in all life, the Shiva and Shakti that dance to create this shimmering galaxy.

It's not hyperbole to say that energetically over the next three weeks a whole new world is born. And here's a great twist. As an astrologer, I've been noticing this upcoming configuration for awhile. But a few days ago a friend let me know of a coincidental development in the Jewish calendar. "Birkat Hachama" is the return of the sun to the place it was at the time of "Creation.". It happens once every 28 years. But this past Tuesday was the Big of the Big. For only the third time in recorded Jewish history this sacred day coincided with Passover, the holiday of Liberation. So this event which hasn't occurred in 1923 years is considered a literal Re-Imagining of the World.

And western astrology is saying the same thing.
Love to you all,

Tosha
