My Children and Their “Rabbit-Rabbit Days”: The Choosing of Destiny over Fate?

Some time ago I wrote a little piece about an experience I had with my daughters when they were young concerning their observance of their sacred “Rabbit-Rabbit Days“.

I suppose I wanted to share this story today, as we are quickly approaching a period that may necessitate our needing to make choices quickly from that which is presented to us by the Cardinal Transits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, and I feel this story may hold relevance for those that are seeking to roll with the coming changes with as much grace and ease as is possible.

At one end of the scale we have those that feel the coming changes are completely beyond our control while on the other end are those that feel all is self-created and within full control of each individual.

I would like to think most of us are balanced fairly well between the extremes.

While I do agree that certain situations and developments do occur in this life that are beyond our control I maintain nonetheless that our actions in regards to said situations/developments are always within our control.

I embrace Astrology from this same standpoint and feel that while we are subjected to certain parameters at certain times, it is entirely up to the individual as to the manner in which one relates to energies at hand and how one chooses to act, or not to act, upon said energies that determines the outcome.

For me, this is the difference between fate and destiny.

I shared this Rabbit-Rabbit Days story previously in forums and many seemed to have enjoyed it, so dusting it off and sharing here today, take what you will from it and discard whatever doesn’t appeal to you personally!

Blessings. Kachina

~Rabbit Rabbit Days~

When my daughter’s were young they had a monthly tradition and Rabbit-Rabbit Day is what they termed it. The first day of every month and immediately upon awaking they were to speak aloud “Rabbit Rabbit!”.  No other words could precede this sacred chant for if one were to utter any other words first it would certainly mean a month of doom and no good things could possibly occur in one’s life until the next Rabbit-Rabbit Day was properly honored.

Full Moon @ 9′ Libra 3/29/10> Balancing The “I” and The “We”

On March 29th, 2010 @ 10:26 pm EST we have our next Full Moon event at 9° 17′ Libra/Aries.

Where a Full Moon falls in our charts is where we are gifted the opportunity of becoming Conscious (Sun) of that which has been Unconscious (Moon), as during a Full Moon, the Sun shines directly upon the Moon eliminating all shadows.

As this is the first Full Moon to occur after the arrival of the Vernal Equinox and Mars turning direct and this Moon occurs in the sign of Libra where Saturn has been bringing forth lessons concerning relationships for the past 5 months, this is a significant event and will have effect of note for everyone, not only those with natal points directly aspected by the Full Moon due to Saturn’s transit of Libra being a collective influence.

This Libra/Aries lunation is a continuation of the previous New Moon in Pisces where we were brought to the threshold of  new beginnings and possibly found ourselves needing to bless and release any factors in our life that were preventing our moving forward into a new form of expression. The Pisces Moon graced us with a broader awareness as to why a parting of ways with certain people and certain forms (both of the material variety and non-material variety) was of necessity before taking our next steps upon our path.

We now find ourselves focused within the Aries/Libra axis where Aries is concerned with the “I” principle and Libra is concerned with the “WE” principle.

Weekend Moon in Virgo Offers Clues for Retro Saturn’s Return to Virgo

On April 7th Saturn in retrograde motion will reenter Virgo for approx. 3 months bringing to a close our lessons of a Virgo nature.

This weekend, 3/27 – 3/28/10, the Moon transits Virgo and is offering intuitive clues to area’s where we may be called to task when Saturn reenters this sign.

Virgo is concerned with health and hygiene, daily regimens and communication.

Over the weekend the Virgo Moon will trine Pluto and then oppose Jupiter and Uranus.

This translates to the intuition(moon) offering clues of a practical nature(virgo) as to what we still may need to transform (pluto), in relation to our Virgo initiatives, with sudden idea’s (uranus) coming forth to assist in our rapid expansion and growth(jupiter) in any areas we apply ourselves to when Saturn returns to Virgo.

Pay attention to what you are receiving this weekend, specifically making note of anything concerning Virgo functions, and you’ll be better prepared for anything which may come your way shortly as Saturn returns to Virgo.

Blessings! Kachina

Transit Pluto square Chiron: A Cosmic Surgeon that Rewards Patients with Liberation Ambrosia

I currently am experiencing my natal Chiron squared by Pluto and I have to say that I absolutely love this transit!

I know that may sound a bit warped if you are not a fan of Pluto and/or if you have previously read other interpretations of this transit and zoomed in on the rage aspect that has been mentioned in some interpretations.

Yet while I do readily admit that I am having occasional moments of rage arising, I am also finding a liberation beginning to occur that I have been unsuccessful in achieving in certain relationship situations, even though I have previously applied every ounce of my knowledge and will-power to the task of resolution.

I am finding that Chiron-Pluto is akin to a post-battle trauma surgeon.

This is the Doctor that steps in when you find that while you have cleaned and dressed your wounds the best you were able to at the time of the ‘battle’, and with the tools you then had available to use, there were wounds from much earlier battles that scarred over before coming to healing due to their being acquired before you later attained a certain level of wisdom and ability to effectively prevent your being wounded on levels so deep as to require this Doctors assistance.

These scarred over wounds are quite elusive, and often are forced back into the realms of the subconscious when they are triggered, for we have become incredibly frustrated after sincere repeated attempts at achieving a healing resolution that never comes to fruition.

Then comes a point that we meet up with Doctor Chiron Pluto and I liken the scenario to this:

Vernal/Spring Equinox 3/20/10> Good Riddance to Delays our “Push” is Incoming! :)

The Sun’s ingress of Aries occurs on March 20th, 2010 @ 1:33 pm EST, signaling the beginning of the astrological new year, the Vernal(spring) Equinox.

The Vernal/Spring Equinox is the period of the year where we plant our seeds for development and harvest during the coming year.

The energies presenting during the Equinox continue to have an influence in our lives for a 3 month period until the Sun’s ingress of Cancer at the Summer Solstice.

While the winter season was characterized by the Mars retrograde period that brought delay’s and frustration in many avenues along with an overall lack of inspiration and energy, the Equinox is ushering in a whole new energy that offers the potential for the firm rooting of new endeavors and the fuel and stability available for practical initiatives, for those that apply themselves to their tasks.

While frictional aspects are present within the Equinox chart, if you use the energy so that it doesn’t use you, the possibilities of phenomenal jump starts are available and many are definitely ready for a leap now after so many months of reworking and delays. 🙂

Conscious Intention and Manifestation: New Moon Pisces and Vernal Equinox>Thoughts on Using these Events Effectively

For those that work with manifestation through conscious intention this is a very important week.

We have the New Moon in Pisces on 3/15/10 which is the “New Moon before Birth”, as it is the last New Moon before the Sun’s ingress of Aries/Spring Equinox, therefore lends special significance especially in a year of so many shifts in energies.

The Vernal/Spring Equinox occurs with the Sun’s ingress of Aries on 3/20/10 and with the tremendous Cardinal Energies this year I feel the intentions set upon Equinox shall set the stage in a huge way for what we have forthcoming with the Cardinal T-Squares and Crosses.

Due to each subsequent event building upon the last I am sharing a few quick insights for those, that while accustomed to working with energy and conscious intention, are now finding themselves frustrated and feeling as if they have lost their manifestation mo-jo.

The energies we are now within are significantly different than what we were accustomed to in the past.

There have been numerous large shifts and this will continue to occur with a greater magnitude and strengthen for some time.

Maybe what I have to share will joggle something for you. 🙂

New Moon @ 25′ Pisces 3/15/2010> Culmination Insights and Blessings for The New

Our next New Moon occurs on March 15th, 2010 at 5:01 pm EST at 25°10′ Pisces.

A New Moon is an opportunity to begin something anew and/or to redirect your course in regards to any insights you have received since the illumination of the last Full Moon.

The recent Full Moon in Virgo offered us insights into how we well we were functioning in regards to being able to be of service to others while maintaining our own personal well-being.

We’ve had the opportunity to identify anything weakening our personal foundations and to adjust anything we found to be contributing to our lack of strength desired so that as we enter a new cycle(Spring Equinox) we are free of any past limitations that in some capacity diminished our ability to be of efficient service to ourselves and others.

For many this has meant a recent parting of ways of previous associations with anything or anyone in which our joint relationship was in some manner preventing us from stepping into our optimal well-being.

Mars Direct at 0’18 Leo 3/11/10> The Brakes Ease Off as New Directives Begin

Mars pivots into direct motion on March 11th and travels forward once again over the degree span of this retrograde, 0° – 19° Leo.

We are now given the opportunity to set into motion area’s in our life that were brought into focus by this retrograde and slowed to a snail’s pace or halted entirely after Mars entered retrograde motion on December 20th, 2009.

Mars first traversed the degrees of 0-19 Leo in forward motion last year from October 17th – December 20th.

Now after having another angle afforded to us during retrograde motion we are once again going to experience what first began/occurred during the forward phase last October-December.

By reviewing what began last October through December yet then stalled or slowed during the retrograde phase from December 2oth until now we are offered insight into that which is now on the table and either ready for forward development or due to be scrapped and let go of.

For more information on the specifics of this retrograde cycle and explanation of a full retrograde cycle and it’s dynamics: Mars Retrograde in Leo 2009-2010
