We knew that March would bring some sort of change with six signs in Pisces moving into Aries. Yet the massive chain of events that occurred on March 11th, 2011, when Uranus moved into Aries for a seven year cycle, has truly been life altering. Now more then ever, committing to daily prayer and meditation is key to keeping centered in heart and soul within ourselves and on behalf of the collective. These catastrophic times certainly put our lives into perspective and also serve as a larger reflection of the tsunami and earthquake disruptions going through some people's lives on an individual level.    

Many people have been struggling not only with the intense roller coaster-like waves of disequilibrium, whether witnessed or experienced, but also trying to focus on their own well being when there is so much trauma in our communities and throughout the world. While our beloved Mother Earth needs time to work through the effects of neglect and the need for purification, we can continue our personal work by sourcing wisdom and healing from the spirit of the elementals (water, wind, fire, earth) by connecting to them on a universal level. When we invoke the support of the Universal Mother or the Galactic Waters, we can then send loving, calming prayer to support the healing of our planetary family. While we often feel unsettled when Mercury goes in it's retrograde cycle, the current three week period ending on April 23rd will likely give us the information to shoot our arrows of intentional living from a sacred compass that lies within a clear open heart.

This month, our Thirteen Moons session aligns with the six astrological planets in the pioneering courageous fire sign of Aries, igniting the sacred fires to reunite with our youthful self-determination. Some of our alumni sisters refer to this upcoming circle on April 9th as the retrieval of our "girl warrior" guided by our favorite Moon goddess Artemis who runs with the wolves. Anyone looking for guidance on "what do I want to be when I grow up" will discover some clues at this session!  

Also, be sure to take a look at the update below from our International Women's Day event in March where you'll find links to the event video, photos and audio clips from each honoree's inspiring speech. It was so humbling and touching to share the evening with sisters and brothers of all ages celebrating and rededicating to a dream of all girls and women throughout the world sharing their divine potential in a safe and supportive environment.
