Healing Themes in Astrology. The Intuitive Astrologer, Madeline Adams, writes about Chiron- which she emphasises as the wounded healer: “Since 1 November 1977 Astrologers have been working with the planetoid Chiron.. Chiron’s symbol is the key. The key to unlock the doors to understanding and healing which incorporates our 3rd dimension reality and the worlds beyond.”

Elizabeth Summers writes, “As we move into the fifth month of our calendar year, all of Nature seems to be taking off its spandex and bursting into the joy of freedom. The Number Five exudes this very energy no matter where it appears in a personal chart. Perhaps many reading this article are too young to have experienced the erratic energy of the toy called a ‘Mexican Jumping Bean.’ This fun capsule jumps around in the palm of one’s hand in response to the ‘heat of the moment.’ Never staying in one position too long, this bean impulsively moves in all directions.”

April 2014 Grand Cross – Drawing a Line in the Sand by Bill Herbst 8 April 2014 Version 1.2 © 2014 by the author, all rights reserved from www.billherbst.com.

Polaris, the North Star, is a time-honored symbol of constancy and dependability. Boy scouts and other travelers know that — from locations in the Northern Hemisphere — this star can always be found in the northern sky, at a height above the horizon that corresponds to your latitude.

The single star we see as Polaris, which actually consists of a main star and two smaller companion stars in a triple star system, is a variable star.

From Bruce McClure at www.earthsky.org We have been receiving a number of inquiries about some upcoming Blood Moons in the years 2014 and 2015. And we want to say, first of all, that the Blood Moons most people are asking about are not part of astronomy. Instead, their origin is religious, at least according to Christian pastor John Hagee, who wrote a 2013 book about Blood Moons. More about that below. Still, since they’re moons, and since people are asking us, we wanted to reply.

Planet Watch for 2014 – Astrology with Pamela Cucinell The overall theme of 2014 is awareness and expansion in work, relationships and our connection with the environment. High financial rewards are not immediate; growth is a process. With both Jupiter (the symbol for luck and fortune) and Venus (symbol for money and love) retrograde in January, the trend is to invest in products and services of lasting value. New Moons open and close January, encouraging forward movement on well-designed strategies.
