Recent Messages from our Oracle Circles: From Story Ducey: Find the Beauty of the Moment, The Gems of Each Day.
From Amanda Hoover: When we are in our high hearts, we can filter out the lower energies like fear, worry, anxiety that we experience in these changing times. As the "group mind" evolves, we have the abilities to affect our own experiences and conditions, but its up to us to activate them. Use an image to bat away any negativity, like a watering can or dragon's breath.
From Carol Callahan: "All good is mirrored and magnified" From Renee Ranke: "Peace is nearer than we realize"

The Hawthorn tree is thought to be associated with the Faerie realm and may be included in your thoughts if not physically available.

The cross quarter points emphasize the 8, smoothly flowing from one transition to another in the shape of the infinity loop. The 8 also invokes, “as above, so below.” All is ultimately connected. The year is an 8 year, adding more power than usual to these concepts.

The month of May looks very positive with many ways to express more of our soul attributes, bringing us closer to heaven on Earth. It allows opportunities to build on the incites gained during the recent eclipse season. This is not to say that unrest and conflict do not exist, but that as more of us find, and live, a sacred balance within our own lives, we will see it reflected in our outer world.

MERCURY is very happy in Aries. Keen intellect finds youthful fire. It is a potent combination that bodes well for new creation. Perhaps you've had a dream rattling around in the attic waiting for just the right boost to help it flower. MERCURY will be in Pisces when both the Lunar Eclipse on 3/25, and the Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse on 4/08 come around. Think of the possibilities. This transit is particularly long since the year's first Mercury retrograde happens while it is in Pisces.
