The New Moon in Taurus with a partial Solar Eclipse is Saturday, April 30 at 2:28PM MDT
This new moon/eclipse begins a cycle of review, reevaluation and action towards necessary endings, beginnings and change. It is a potent time to look at your relationship to your comfort, security, resources, support, values and self esteem. What is most familiar to you may not be the most supportive, and what you thought was your security may come into question. It is important to set yourself up in a good way to work with the challenges and the opportunities of this eclipse cycle (ending with a full moon and total Lunar eclipse on May 15/16th). Take some time to evaluate what you have, what you don’t have, what you need and what you don’t need. What gives you true security and what nurtures you and feeds your self esteem.
A relationship with anything that does not feel supportive needs to be addressed and changed. Look at what is in your life that you thought would make you happy but does not. Allow change without judgment and focus on bringing in more of what you truly value instead of needs and desires you were imprinted with. Watch addictions during this time as they represent the false comfort of the negative aspects of ego and personality.
This new moon also opens for us the theme of needing to come into more balance in our lives. What is out of balance? What small thought can you focus on during this moon to begin to bring in a bit more balance and grounding?
Change is here whether we like it or not and is being fed and stimulated by a need for action. Beware of over asserting yourself or over reacting in a negative way. The best response is to wait and see. Then, when clarity comes, it is time to act and act with certainty and confidence despite any judgments from others. This is a powerful time where you can truly begin a new cycle in your life. Don’t waste it by getting bogged down in stubbornness, fear and ambivalence. If you don’t know what you want, start with what you don’t want and go from there.
Blessings,
Lena |

A Safe Place To Land
The ocean is wild and over your head
And the boat beneath you is sinking
Don’t need room for your bags, hope is all that you have
So say the Lord’s Prayer twice, hold your babies tight
Surely someone will reach out a hand
And show you a safe place to land
-Sara Bareilles
Migrants and immigrants, refugees all.

Assistants of Chinese artist Ai Wei Wei decorate the columns of Berlin’s Konzerthaus with lifejackets, on February 13, 2016, as part of an installation intended to remind people of the ongoing refugee crisis.
The Cinema for Peace gala will be held at the Konzerthaus on February 15, 2016, on the sidelines of the Berlinale Film Festival.
The Independent
Last year, more than one million people fleeing war and persecution in Syria, Afghanistan and further afield were thought to have made dangerous journeys by sea and overland to Europe.
More than 400 people have already died trying to make the perilous sea crossing so far in 2016.
Last month Ai WeiWei pulled out of a planned show in Denmark in protest against a recently passed law which allows the state to confiscate refugees’ valuables as part payment for asylum seek services.

From Susan Sarandon who recently returned from the shores of migrating refugees. She offers these reputable agencies to send aid.
“Many of you have been asking about ways you can help the refugees in Lesvos. Here are just a few of the many groups that I worked with when I was there where donations would be put to good use.”
Dirty Girls of Lesvos Island
“When the refugees arrive on Lesvos in unstable, overcrowded boats, they are drenched with sea water. They are given new clothes and their perfectly good, but wet clothes, are discarded and have mostly been trashed, therefore adding to the environmental problems of landfill on Lesvos. Dirty Girls collects the clothes and have them laundered at a commercial laundry. They are sorted and distributed so that they can be reused.”

PROEM – AID
“A nonprofit Spanish search and rescue association made up of emergency professionals doing sea rescue in Lesvos. All work for free, pay their own way and are on call 24/7. Their only expenses are to keep the boats on the water.”
