Hi everyone and happy new week.
My name is Miriam Ashkenazi and I'm a kabbalistic astrologer at the Kabbalah Center.
I'm excited to share with you another week what are the cosmic influences,
How we can utilize them for the best for our spiritual growth,
And how we can overcome the challenges and actually transform them to work for us.
So let's hear what's happening this week.
So first of all,
Let's have a reminder for this month.
We're in the month of Aries.
And I would like to introduce you to a very important kabbalistic principle today that is very much aligned with the cosmic influences.
The principle is that the stronger the challenge,
The stronger the light that you can reveal.
And we're all familiar with the song,
What doesn't kill you make you stronger.
It's important to remember that especially in the month of Aries,
With so many challenging aspects between very forceful planets this month,
There is a potential pull from the universe to react,
To argue,
To confront and handle things in an extreme manner.
If we remind ourselves this week that our work this month and this week is to always strive for balance and a more merciful and harmonious approach in handling any conflict or situation in our life,
We are on the path for revealing tremendous amount of light.
This light could not have been revealed in a time where the planets are aligned in a supportive way.
The hardest we push against the negative pull,
The more proactive we become in handling those challenges,
The more light and blessing that we attract to our lives.
Now let's see what's happening this week.
On April 13,
Venus and Mars are in a beautiful harmonious aspect.
And since both are in air signs,
Mars is in Aquarius and Venus is in Gemini,
There is a potential better flow of energy.
Since Mars and Venus connection also represented two opposite sexes,
We understand that the flow of energy and harmony can be activated in our live lives as well.
Since the element that both planets are affected by now is air,
This energetic flow can affect our mutual ideas,
Learning together,
Communication with each other and things we love to do for fun.
Take advantage of this energy,
This positive aspect,
And find a way to create better circuitry and flow of energy in your relationship.
On April 17,
There is a heavy influence of the sun challenging aspect to the planet Pluto.
Our emotional world might take control since the moon is also passing by Pluto and Jupiter that day.
I would suggest to be tuned and aware of your experience,
Your emotional experiences that might be a little bit of like a roller coaster.
A lot of things can potentially rise up to the surface and affect us emotionally.
Since Pluto is a big player in the cosmos today,
I would stay away from expressing ourselves in any extreme manner.
This is on April 14.
Even if you feel extremely disturbed by anything,
Don't simply believe those emotions and don't rush to act on it.
Make the time for this challenging aspect to pass.
Take three,
Four days and then recheck how you feel.
Let's move to April 15 and 16.
There is a challenging aspect between the sun and the planet Jupiter.
Jupiter typically considered as a planet that gives us opportunity to expand,
Grow and see things in a more optimistic and positive light.
When Jupiter is involved in any planet in a negative or challenging aspect,
We know that those positive elements of the planets are being challenged as well.
Also,
Since the sun is in Aries,
Which is considered to be more rushed thinking sign,
And Jupiter on its extreme expression can lead us to taking unnecessary risks in our life,
We want to avoid in this time period any unnecessary risks and be aware to the cosmic battle that can lead to a loss or over-estimating our abilities at the moment.
Also,
With this challenging aspect,
We can all be challenged with the element of arrogance.
This is a time to remind ourselves that we all need help.
The desire to accomplish,
Grow and succeed is great.
But with the sun in Aries and Jupiter in Capricorn,
We need to remind ourselves that we should accept both good and bad success.
And what seems to be failure?
Advances and setbacks,
Because they are all part of the tapestry of accomplishment.
Through the problems that we encounter,
We can make our greatest development,
If we are willing to learn from our mistakes and ask for help when we need it.
When we move towards the end of the week,
Let's remind ourselves that Mercury,
The planet Mercury of communication and the way that we think is in Aries right now.
And that will be a good opportunity for us to work on one of the things that the sign of Aries usually struggles with,
Especially when it comes to communication with others.
Aries are considered to be relatively a reactive sign,
Which means quick to respond,
Quick to judge,
Quick to speak up or give any kind of advice,
Opinion or criticism.
We're all affected by Aries' positive and negative traits this month.
Therefore,
Let's all remember and follow the following message.
Written by Karen Berg in her book,
Simple Light.
If you plan on humbly advising somebody else on what to do,
Make sure that you are coming from a place of love and that they are willing to listen.
If you love them,
But know that they aren't willing to listen,
Your advice will fall on deaf ears.
If you are not coming from a place of love,
Then you are offering an advice out of ego.
And no light can come out of this.
Let's all remember this message every time we communicate with others.
And then on April 18th,
There is a beautiful aspect between Mars and Mercury,
And it raises our level of curiosity.
The cosmic energy is giving us a boost of desire and energy to not rest until we acquire all the knowledge we desire.
This can be really an amazing supportive energy for those of us that are studying.
Take advantage of that energy at the end of the week and open a book,
Research,
Dig deep into anything that you might have had a desire to learn about,
But didn't have the needed drive and energy to actually do it.
I hope you're all going to have an amazing week.
