Starself for April - There is this one prediction...

[Ricochet21]

:patriot: There is this One Prediction… :patriot:

I’ve been trying to find something to write about that isn’t redundant. The pressures from the Cardinal T-square have been immense. (Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter and Uranus in Aries, and Saturn in Libra). Now, for the first 18 days of April we’re going to get a lovely visit from MARS through ARIES agitating the whole T-square starting right away on night of April 1. This will be no April Fools.

As with all the planets, each have several attributes, but Mars, in particular, urges us to action. Since Japan had such a huge catastrophe exactly ON THE DAY when Uranus entered Aries, Mars is now coming over that exact degree and demanding action. I don’t know how that will manifest. Could it get worse, yes, it could get much worse. Could it get better, yes, that too. But, it’s not the kind of transit you want to deal with when you are trying to suppress radioactivity (Uranus).

Mars is very hard to predict but is essentially a one-trick-pony. Aggression, assertion, get something done. Given the precarious nature of Japan, Egypt, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, on and on, Mars has a lot of situations to stir up. And that’s what it does. Don’t be surprised if it doesn’t take until the 19th to subdue these nuclear reactors in Japan.

We foresaw all the nuclear issues years ago, as Pluto has been tapping around to find weaknesses both in our nuclear reactors but also in our nuclear policies, etc. As Mars spends it first week of April in Aries, it will square Pluto in Capricorn. Look for this to be very explosive and dangerous. Mars is not a peacemaker – moreover, the God of War.

1. As always, so many delicious morsels to savor, Dear Sir.

This Virgo especially loves the discussion of the Chironistic (?) traits.

Purists, not perfectionists. Love that!

:loveya:

[Ricochet21]

2. I think it's true

[findrskeep]

3. Just finished reading the newsletter that I've been

waiting and watching for for the last day or so...brilliant Rick, just brilliant. It's amazing how right on everything is. We have so much potential, now if we could just get out of our own way and do something about it! I love the whole bit on Neptune and how it's guiding people to search for their spiritual path (or something to that effect) and how it's opening up people psychically. I'm definitely noticing some stuff personally, more open as of late etc. It's all just fascinating. Thank you for another wonderful newsletter Rick!

[Ricochet21]

6. You are welcome FK

I'm thinking of focusing on just Chiron/Neptune for next month. But, you never know what's happning.
Appreciate ya. :hi:

[Saokymo]

4. I've been feeling a wellspring of hope, love and compassion

...at least I have been today, after recovering from one of the worst head colds/sinus infections I've had in a very long time. There's still that fiery sense of action from Ouranus (because it's not just mine or urs -- it's everyone!) entering Aries, but it's shifted to a more internal focus. Time to burn away my impurities before trying to fix the rest of the world. It's almost like being in the eye of the storm -- calm despite the winds circling around me.

[Ricochet21]

7. I hope you start to

feel better and better :hug:

[rosesaylavee]

5. Great newsletter!

"The last ones to find out will be the AMA." = favorite line.

:rofl:

[Ricochet21]

8. Yeh, I'm a wise-ass, what can I say?

I try hard to keep it to a minimum! :rofl:

[SCarrington Smith]

9. I just love...

...the Greek meaning of the word virgo. :rofl:

[Ricochet21]

10. You didn't know that?

Actually, broken down, it comes from the Greek Island of "Bullpucus" where "Vir" comes from "Vehrr" = "no" or "Nahn"
and "Goe" for "wyhin"

Simple

[SCarrington Smith]

11. I didn't...

It's VERY cool. :-)

[murielm99]

12. I read the newsletter, and can't wait to read your book.

There is so much I don't know.

I noticed that OGR put a question mark after Chironistic. I know she is worried about spelling, but I know so little about Chiron, and I am a Virgo. I hope your book has a lot on that subject.

In April, we will be taking action on some much needed remodeling and redecorating in our home. I will be trying a new tactic for diet. And tonight I went to a Democratic and union solidarity event. I spoke to someone about starting a Young Democrats of Illinois chapter in the community college near me. So I guess I am trying to take action, after a long spell of doing nothing.

You speak of Scorpios so often, and make them sound dangerous. Of course, Walker is a Scorpio, and he is dangerous. But my son is a Scorpio, and he is not like that. He is very involved in the Democratic Party, and very community service oriented. He is so thoughtful toward his fiance that I think many men could learn a thing or two from him. I don't always understand what you say about Scorpios.

I'm still worried about Wisconsin. I hope they continue to move forward. At this point, I think the whole pushback against these teabaggers and greedy corporatists hinges on a successful outcome for the cheeseheads. As Wisconsin goes, so goes the nation.

Thanks for a great newsletter. I will probably go back and read it two or three more times.

[Ricochet21]

15. The reason Walker is so bad

is because he is Sun and Moon in Scorpio (that can be wonderful too) and Venus in between Uranus and Pluto all in Virgo
That can be common too

but, when you add it all up, and put it in a male body, it MOST OF THE TIME becomes a robotic, souless one.
He delights in beating you because you are beatable and therefore deserve it.

That's it

remember, there are others with the same configuration, I've seen it, that are great people, great people
it's how HE CHOSE to use his energy
he will go to ANY length for personal power, that's what it's all about 100%

yes, there is much about Chiron in the new book under the Virgo chapter
thank you
blessings

13. Is this why my Ex has been so explosively angry lately?

Lashing out, screaming, all her "greatest hits," unleashed on sons and former husbands?

Hmm......

[Ricochet21]

16. Yes/no

it's because you're simply hearing their inner orchestra

Mars pushes out what's going on inside
there are no excuses, we manage our innards
you're on the right track tho
:hug:

[stellanoir]

14. Kind sir

On first perusal, I do truly appreciate the way in which you've addressed the collective/individual influences especially through the transpersonal planets. Also like how you stress interdependence of planetary influence. That's something that cannot be stressed enough and eludes so many. So kudos.

I intend to re read it but am hesitant to dissect it here for several reasons.

However, seeing Mars described as the "God of War" sans further delineation as to the more balanced expressions of that planet can reinforce a very tragically predictable paradigm. Though it *is* the traditional interpretation, in these times we perhaps need to take care to not perpetuate tiresome old models for manifestation.

A centered Mars need not ever engage in militarism or violence or wanton aggression.

It can find far more redemptive modes of expression.

There are few instances wherein I've failed to embellish this notion with metaphors ranging from Tai Chi, to worthy opponents, to selective permeability, to Great Walls, cell walls, and various assorted amoebas and flounders, ad nauseam and not necessarily in that order.

Suffice it to say that in my puny world view and as I've posted innumerable times, conflict need never occur in the absence of mutually shared culpability (albeit oftentimes karmic). Conflict ideally and in the grander scheme, exists to raise consciousness only.

I wouldn't respond in this manner if I didn't feel that this one dimensional representation is limited in so many ways and not about the alternatives that are now available to create vast ameliorations to problems ages old.

Please pardon but with my Mars on my Nodal axis I was deeply compelled to chime in regarding this manner.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

peace

[Ricochet21]

17. No, I disagree

certainly Mars has some other "sides"
BUT, when combined with
1. entering Aries
2. nearing Jupiter
3. nearing URanus, my mind is made up

it does not mean we will all fight
many times the fight is fighting to get out of our own self-imposed wet paper back, yet it is a fight.

Your point is well noted oh Chironic one.
It's so hard to get it all perfect when writing at such a speed
your additional analysis to any and all of the newsletter is welcomed and much appreciated

love to you
:hug:

[stellanoir]

22. I agree to disagree. Okay ?

". . .entering Aries nearing Uranus" & Jupiter, squaring Pluto, opposing Saturn. . .whatever.

I just feel we are all challenged to find ingeniously new approaches to problems ages old. No biggie really. /sarcasm

Conflicting forces can coalesce into a singular focus of acute clarity, inspired motivation, and have amazing results. That is the promise of the stellium in Aries and all those cardinal triggers. IMHO

Kindly don't call me Chronic when I'm clearly being all "Neptoonian." How's that for an oxymoronic use of an adverb ?

Simply don't feel the Chironic/Virgo thing the way you do. Still thinking about it but don't see it as a direct rulership. Although one of the first publications about Chiron came out shortly after its discovery and it proposed the same theory about its connection to Virgo. So I've been thinking about it for a very long while. :silly:

FYI : Anyone who is seeking perfection here has clearly come to the wrong planet.

I've never perceived the creative process as a fight. To me it's sometimes more like being in labor for 5000 years. Yikes

:hug: right back at ya

[Ricochet21]

23. Well I like how you swiftly and effectively

swept Mars/Uranus/and Jupiter away with one broad brush stroke
sounds like a Neptunian

You wait, maybe we'll see Mars on one of his Picnic days?

You are chironic, you go above and beyond he call of duty.
Yes, the rulership of Virgo by Chiron will take years to be cemented. I have many questions too.
I made my opinion in the book that Taurus is ruled by the Earth
I can't wait till I hear the arguments over that one.
All in good fun.:hi:

[stellanoir]

27. awe shucks

You didn't even notice that I shoved Pluto & Saturn under there too.

Hey I figure if I'm gonna make a sweeping generalization akin to cosmic heresy, why bother trifling with troublesome prisoners.

tra la la

And in fact, I do take high tea with my ever so refined Mars in Libra daily and we always point our pinkie fingers skyward I assure you.

Can't get him to wear the funny hats though no matter what I do. Please advise.

Your carpet analogy reminded me of the joke I've always told about Sagg Moons. . ."They sweep all sorts of stuff under the carpet 'till it impedes their mobility and then they just move out." They can be ever ebullient boatloads of fun though.

There is no other earth sign earthier than Taurus for sure. One client who worked for the World Bank referred to Earth Signs as "land signs." Another more agrarian one referred to them as "dirt signs."

I call Taurus the sign of the baked potato and no one ever gets the joke so go figure.

good fun is indeed

[Ricochet21]

28. I vote we change the Bull

to the potato. Very good. And I love the image of the Sagg moving out once there's too much of a lump in the rug
lol

[stellanoir]

30. That lump can hit the ceiling before some of them even notice

I swear.

on edit- Glad you got the potato joke. So few do.

[Mnemosyne]

18. Jupiter wants us to "Be excellent to each other!"

Does Jupiter sort of 'manifest' as the Golden Rule? Wish my sisters would get that one.

Pluto here to remove decay. "clean out your basement and throw the junk out" - Circumstances have made this inevitable with the mold problem at my house. I was already tossing old crap out ruthlessly, guess the stars are making sure I have the motivation needed to finish letting go of the old. :)

My daughter is an Aquarius and has been nearing implosion/explosion emotionally lately, for last seven months actually. She suffers from severe compound PTSD and I am seeing exactly what you are speaking about regarding her suppression. I have been encouraging her to seek therapy, but she refuses saying, "I talked about it in court, no reason to keep bringing it up." "Uranus renews and MUST NOT BE SUPPRESSED." I fear how it will finally come out. :cry:

"We are the ones we’ve been waiting for." Boy, has this been a revelation for me the last couple of months, with much wisdom from you and MC guiding me. :loveya:

"What Saturn does is give us the collective willingness to make things fair for all. To make things work. To fix what is broken. If you take responsibility for your life, usually life gets a lot better." Life IS getting better; slowly, but surely. You guys have taught me this also. :grouphug:

"We are being tested to be who we are, not who we say we are or what some piece of paper said we were. Now is the time to become it." Wow, way to describe my life now, Rick! I am working very hard on this. :wow:

"4/1-4/3 In a personal way, you need to act upon what you have been feeling." I sent a letter to my step-sister, that she should receive on 4/1 or 4/2. I rewrote it several times, hell, probably 10 times, and asked friends I respect to read it before mailing. Your advice to "keep it mild" ended up being the undercurrent of my letter. I hope I did it well. We shall see.

"In the fall, those who have misused power will pay for it." Does this mean that my sister that has been abusing her power as executor of Mom's estate will finally be shown to be what she has become? She will finally have her true face shown to the world and pay the price, finally? She has so much to answer for...

And on 4/20, I will not have a drink. :smoke::evilgrin::smoke:

Great newsletter, Rick! No wonder I've felt so impatient to read it. Thank you my dear! :hug:

[OneGrassRoot]

19. .....

:hug:

:loveya:

:hi:

[Mnemosyne]

26. Hi sweetie! Imagine meeting you here!

:loveya::pals::hug:

[Howler]

20. SWEET!!!!!!!!!

I'm speechless except to say...Excellent guidance Here Rick!!!! Thank you!!!!

[Ricochet21]

36. No way!

You? Speechless? Tell me not! :hi:

[MorningGlow]

21. Thanks for this, Rick!

Most excellent, as always! :yourock:

Read most of this last night, read it again today, and will read it yet again when my head no longer feels like it's stuffed with cotton balls (darned plague--or is that part of purging too? x( )...

[Ricochet21]

24. Yes

After the planets pass by
they deposit little cotton balls in our ears with a dab of alcohol so we don't get infected by Republican rhetoric :hi:

[MorningGlow]

25. LOL

I will welcome that. Right now I just want to be able to form two coherent thoughts in a row. x(

[northernlights]

29. Rick nails it again

and in the ongoing tennis match of which side of the world is more explosive, goaded by a friggin nutcase Florida Kristian Konservative, Afghanistan slams the first serve. :(

[kimmerspixelated]

31. Just Wow! Oh, Wow!

Rick I just got through reading it. I luxuriated with your newsletter over a cup of Jasmine Tulsi tea, and I enjoyed it SOOO much! Don't know where to begin, but I'll have to critique it probably tomorrow. Got a poetry thang I must go to! But- Loved the Neptune part. 180 yrs!??? WOW! These ARE special times, and I feel lucky to be here with all of ya'll!-Peace:grouphug:

[Delphinus]

32. Rick,

I love this paragraph especially:

When Neptune is a predominant factor in the global consciousness, it affects us all at the God level, if you will. I don’t care if your god is called Xakxoyo, as long as we’re working toward one loving God, we’re on the right track.

:loveya:

[Ricochet21]

33. Thank Delphinus

people get so hung up on "My god is the right one", it's so imbecilic

[japple]

34. What a great newsletter. Loved the "keep the faith, throw out

the dogma" part. May I borrow it?

[Ricochet21]

35. Of course Japple

it's ours :hug:
