I am aware of his passion for saving the animals pursuit and I know that he had a light bulb moment which changed his life. This happened when he caught a fish and watched it gasp for breath and then he realized that he must eat carrots for the rest of his life. Good on him, I say! I am glad that he has turned his life around (and he still looks quite vital for his senior years).
Philosophically I am on the same page as the famous minstrel and also am concerned and moved to tears when I think of a beast/animal or anything living thing being slaughtered. However, these beasts are eating our veggie patches. I wonder what he would think if his sole source of survival was being crunched away daily? I am not treating this lightly and I respect Sir Paul for his stand on animals being killed. I guess one's perspective is jaded when you are fighting to survive and to feed our families in horrific drought conditions. We love a sun burnt country a land of sweeping plains. There use to be grass on the plains but the roos ate it all! I am sorry Sir Paul.
Moving on to the significant lunation's of April. The New Moon is in Aries and it is at 1:55pm AEST. The energy emanating out of this New Moon in headstrong Aries is feisty and passionate. Mars, ruler of Aries, makes a difficult link to the New Moon increasing reserves of energy but making it tricky to find the right outlet. Enthusiasm and a thirst for adventure are strong but adjustments are required before you can go chasing dreams and head off into the sunset. This New Moon is the peak of the astrological New Year period and is the ideal time to consider new life directions. Just make sure you do a little planning before you close the door on your old life.
Here are some ideas for planting those wishes for the month ahead: new beginnings, self-focus, innocence/authenticity, self discover, independence, courage, disengaging, self absorption. Aries rules the head, face, scalp, and brain so get your thinking in order and charge ahead like the Warrior you were born to be - but don't forget to make some plans or at least take a road map.
The Full Moon is in Scorpio - dun dun dun dad a - well what can I say? Most of you avid readers know that your lustful and loving Harles is a Scorpion. What to do on this full moon? Well the time and place is 20 April 8:25pm AEST. The elements of water and earth are strongly emphasized

earthly paradise. The hesitant brilliance slowly rises, coquettishly
casting long fluttering shadows that gently coax her sleeping children awake. The birds begin their daily greeting, singing praise for the warmth which will thaw their little bones and for the brilliance which will guide them to their source of food. Soon everyone has risen; the morning melody is in full crescendo.
Spring is coming - everyone is ready, but the Earth is in a stubborn mood. Apparently her frosty Northeast temperment has not been awarded enough respect and she gives us the cold shoulder, waiting for homage. We know she is playing a game - she has already hinted at her generous stores of inner sweetness hidden beneath her crusty frozen exterior -- evidenced by the steam from the local sugar shacks which are boiling the precious life-blood of our region’s maple trees. For our patience we are rewarded with the golden ambrosia that sweetens our tea and disposition.
She teaches us discipline. Our best laid plans get pushed aside if Mother Earth refuses to cooperate, or rather, if we refuse to cooperate with her! There are subtle reminders of Who is Boss if we venture out too soon, or tamper with her precious offspring. We cannot plant our gardens if the ground is still frozen, we cannot repair the leak in the roof if it is raining all the time, we cannot hike up the mountain if the mud is too soft - it will destroy the alpine vegetation that is fragile already. This is a harsh climate, yet it bestows great gifts of beauty and purity to those who accept her stern methods of teaching. I adore this part of the world with all it’s quirks, but I am deeply yearning for SPRING!! I can feel cellular stirrings as we pass from the season of white to green.
I am sad to hear of the plight of the kangaroos of Oz. In our country, I have heard of the western Prairie Dog being sought out for extermination. Apparently, someone thinks there are too many. I know that somewhere in the Bible it says that we are the stewards of the earth, but a steward is a caretaker, not the master. As inhabitants of Earth, I believe we find ways to survive, and create patterns that sometimes outlive their usefulness. Don’t you think there is room for everything? I do, but we may have to give up our seat on the bus or move over a notch to fit it all in.
This is the Chinese Year of the Rat - a new beginning of a twelve year cycle. The Genesis of many new worlds of thought and deed. I can feel the shifting - it is as if the lid of an exquisitely ornate jar becomes cracked open ever-so-slightly, releasing the trapped air; but now the lid slowly turns in place and gets gently lifted, the contents of the jar sparkling in the incoming light. Can it be a Jar of Jems? J
Blessings,
