Magnetizing Your Desires

Magnetizing Your DesiresMichelle Karénmichelekaren@...All references to time are given in Pacific StandardTime (PST).Dearest friends, this month Jupiter will turn retrograde on April 5 at19º 46' Sagittarius, and will remain so until August 6 at 9º 55'Sagittarius. You need to revisit your philosophy of life and standstrong in your integrity. Under this particular retrogradation, onlystrict personal honesty will do. Traveling to other states or distantcountries is also favored, as it is a chance for you to connect with adeeper understanding of other ways of thinking and living. You couldget involved in causes you believe in, and faster than ever see yourintentions manifest into realities. "Man is a creature of reflection,"says Indian wisdom. "He becomes that upon which he reflects." Thatwhich you desire you can magnetize into your life by feeling theemotion of already having or being it.Saturn, which has been retrograde since December 6, 2006 at 25º 04'Leo, will be turning direct again on April 19 at 18º 09' Leo. SinceDecember you have cleared a lot of clutter, your body has gone throughmassive cleansings (influenza, coughs and other uncomfortable yetnecessary purifications) and you have simplified your life andreorganized your priorities. You can now look forward to anacceleration of your evolution within the new structures consciouslydefined.Pluto, which turned retrograde on March 31, will remain so this wholemonth between 28º 57' and 28º 45' Sagittarius, until September 6 at26º 18' Sagittarius. You could be plagued by compulsive, fanaticalopinions, and tend to wish the destruction of anything or anyone whodoesn't hold the same beliefs. It is important to remain in your truthwithout alienating those who have different convictions. In theinternational political scene, some important changes could occur thataffect millions of people. You are being regenerated at a cellularlevel. Much old karma is being transmuted. You could find yourselfthinking in radically purified ways, with a heightened connectionto your higher self. There is a total transformation of yourphilosophical approach to life. As supra-normal abilities unravel moreclearly within yourself, you are becoming the alchemist and magicianof your reality.The Moon this month will be "void of course" (forming no major aspectswith any planet before entering the following sign):.
