For All Signs: The Passover and Easter have variations in their historical details, but they share similarities in spiritual meaning. Each celebrates a homecoming to the Spirit. The Passover remembers the rebirth of the Jewish community after 400 years of slavery. Easter recalls the ever present opportunity for an individual to be reborn, or reconnected to an awareness of the Spirit, even after periods of apparent isolation. The theme of “rebirth” has been celebrated in every civilization and known by many names through millenniums of religions. The Passover began an eight day celebration yesterday, April 11. Easter is to be celebrated on Sunday, April 16, this year. The date chosen for Easter Sunday each year has its moorings in cosmic motion. We have Easter on the first Sunday following the first full Moon which occurs after the spring equinox (roughly Mar. 21).
Aries the Ram: (Mar 20—Apr 19th) A project begun in January is showing signs of growth and development. Although it needs more work, at this point it appears to be manifesting.

Gemini: Listen carefully this week for intuitive guidance. Your unconscious is “in touch” with your lifepath and it will guide you. Clear out the mind/ego chatter as well as you can, and accept that which does not flatter the ego. There you will find real wisdom that makes sense.
