times they are a'changin

For Light by John O'Donohue

Light cannot see inside things.

That is what the dark is for:

Minding the interior,

Nurturing the draw of growth

Through places where death

In its own way turns into life. 

Illumination of Earth by the Sun on the day of an equinox. 

Once again March marks yet another flaming cosmic story in 2016 - a year marred and mired in explosive surprises. 

This year's vernal equinox heralds the earliest spring since 1896. 

For us in the Northern Hemisphere, sunrise comes earlier now and 

nightfall is later. Plants are sprouting, winds are softening - we are 

enjoying warmer days of spring. Meanwhile, south of the equator, 

autumn begins. 

Yin & Yang balance & contrast

This month's Aries / Libra full moon is also a lunar eclipse. 

Lunar eclipses add extra power to this full moon - bringing old emotional 

patterns and complexes to our awareness to release them. Eclipses are 

doorways to alternative realities - an interlude in the rush of life where 

we can turn in new directions. 

Small wonder then we find our lives rocked and riled every which way. 

Safety Check on Facebook

Once again the world is on alert due to terrorist attacks, this time it's the Brussels bombings. Facebook even has a very helpful app now called Safety Check. Should you find yourself in the affected area of a crisis it is a quick and simple way to alert others of your situation. 

The Cosmos is giving us an opportunity to face the truth about ourselves. 

Let us use Aries' bravery and daring to face our fears - bring them into the 

light and make peace with them. 

Brussels tribute on Cagle Post

Will we be accepted? Will we be good enough? Will we be able to support 

ourselves? Face those questions with a big resounding YES! Why not? ~
