A World of Color

I received this image in one of those email blasts from a friend. Wildflowers on a Bakersfield, California hillside--a reminder about just how beautiful the Earth really is and how important it is for all of us to open our eyes and be grateful for what we've been given.

The new moon in Virgo yesterday, coupled with Mercury retrograde, signals the opportunity to begin again, to re-examine and to make sense of what we're doing. Virgo brings order and clarity to any situation.

Two other planetary factors also come into play. Saturn, the planet of limitation and karma, is in opposition to Uranus, the planet of revolution. So there is a struggle between the traditional and the new in all of our lives. Pluto has also changed direction and is now moving forward. Pluto is the planet of deep soul transformation.

If ever there was a time to ask yourself what it is you really want, now is the time. Life can be as colorful as we make it. Bring your whole sense of self, all of your gifts, to your journey, and sprinkle your path with lilac, and oranges, yellows, blues and greens. Go wild and watch as your life begins to flower!
