 Earth Day.

 April 22nd will be the 31st Anniversary of Earth Day.

 A Challenge for the 21st Century.

 The chart for Earth day shows a trine Between Mars-Chiron
and the Moon. Mercury and Juno join the Taurian Sun and square
Neptune. Mars-Chiron is in Sagittarius and Sextiles Uranus in
Aquarius. Neptune trines Jupiter and squares Earth.
 This is a very beautiful and telling combination for Earth Day.

 It bodes well for the future.

 Taurus is connected with the land and values. The lesson of Taurus
is to transform our values by transmuting desire into aspiration.
As our self-centred desires are transformed into expressions of love
and service, the energy of Taurus becomes transformative, expressing
itself through the Fourth Ray of the Art of Living. We can transform
our surroundings through artistic and professional expression creating
Heaven on Earth.
 As we begin to attune to the sacredness and the sanctity of all life,
we are realising that land is not merely a commodity to be exploited.
 A nation's capital is the air, water, soil, forests, minerals, rivers,
lakes, oceans, scenic beauty, wildlife habitats and bio-diversity.
We begin to realise that the land does not belong to us, but that we
belong to the land and we are learning to use it with love and respect.
As the human family is healed from emotional wounding and separative
and aggressive tendencies, we are assuming responsibility for the loving
care and management of the Earth and its resources.
 A new generation of people is now initiating a national and international
dialogue on sustainability. This dialogue will mark a turning point in
human history and is producing a quantum shift in our consciousness.
 "Building a sustainable society is the critical challenge of this century.
Everything depends on it.", Senator Gaylord Nelson, founder of Earth Day.

The Moon conjoins Vesta at 10:14 AM.
The emotional intuitive, realm combines the focusing principle.
Known to the Greeks as Hestia, she embodies honest and faithful dealings.
She governs the sacred law of hospitality, offering the warmth of the
sacred flame, food and shelter to strangers. Her hearth is the sanctuary
and protection of the sacred fire.

The Moon sextiles Uranus at 6:22 PM.
The emotional, intuitive realm combines with electric will. This transit
gives a pleasant feeling and a desire for excitement. Technology and
interaction with like minded people can bring new inspiration and new
solutions.

The Moon trines Mars at 11:34 PM.
The emotional intuitive realm combines with electric Divine love. By taking
the initiative and making emotional contact with others, we are able to make
progress.
The healing energy from Mars-Chiron in Sagittarius is bringing our desire
into line with our soul aspirations so that we have greater clarity of
vision and motivation to fulfil our purpose. We have the opportunity to
transmute separative desires that are holding us back, into more inclusive
aspirations.
When we express our energy in this way it affects the energy field of other
people and inspires them to make a change in their lives so that all of us
can build a more sustainable future.

The Balsamic Moon goes void in Aries at 11:34 PM.
The balsamic void Moon in Aries is an excellent time to go into the silence
or into deep meditation where we can attune to the wisdom and divine love
of our inner being.
