Overall Color for the Week:    Lavender

A lot will be going on this week, so fasten your seatbelts!  The week starts out with the Vernal Equinox, bringing balance to the light and darkness.  From this point on, things begin to shift and move on all levels.  There can be leaking through the dimensions, so what you think you just saw from the corner of your eye, might actually be there!

In your personal life, expect ups and downs in relationships, with co-workers, and authority figures.  There is a lot of confusion, sorrow, and general angst about and, as the jetstream brings the winds around the Earth, we are all feeling what Japan is going through on so many levels.  This is all part of a greater readjustment that is going on.  It is important at this time to be in sync with the energies.  As a part of this, you will be finding yourself acting out of character.  Be aware of those moments when this happens.  They are telling you things that you need to know about where you are going.  There will be times of deja -vu happening.  Pay attention to these.  They are telling you something. And you will find that when you finally are able to make decisions that have been hard for you in the past, you will get a kind of ‘thumbs-up’ from the Universe.  There is synchronicity here.  This week can be hard, however if you just allow yourself to go with the flow, follow your heart’s promptings, and trust your intuition this can be an amazingly big week, even a turning point.

On a larger scale there are movements and motions going on everywhere. The politicos are tending more and more to warlike behaviors.  They are convinced that what has worked in the past will work now.  Unfortunately, past patterning no longer works in the new energy, and there will be outcries against violent action on all levels. People are no longer willing to accept blindly what they are being told to do, especially if those who are making the decisions are not motivated by a larger  view of things along with compassion.  The Earth is shifting.  There will be quakes in odd places, along with more volcanic activity.  Expect for some odd news to come out about the shape of the Earth and its composition, perhaps even some admission of the possibility of an Hollow Earth Scenario.  There is an unsettledness among the People of the Americas.  Look for a pattern there.  Each area of the globe has its own characteristic energetic patterns, and these are beginning to be felt once again.  Look for more information about grids and their effects to come out.

Sunday, March 20:    Silky Red

Vernal Equinox: Happy Birthday, Aries:  Norooz-Persian New Year: The fire and passion of the Aries will characterize the energy of today. They favor accomplishing your heart’s desire.  If you have pet projects that you have not been able to work on because you feel that work stuff has to come first, know that today’s thrust will push you in the direction of personal creativity.  Enjoy the ride today.  Things will progress swiftly, and you may find yourself wondering sometimes just what happened, but let it go.  This is a day for living in and being in the moment.  It can bring you a sense of fulfillment, and recognition of where your joy lies.  A slight caveat, there is excess in the air also.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel today, but it is going to take some work and effort to find it.  You can find yourself feeling that you are working in a fog for most of the time, but the basic energy of the day will keep you going.  There is optimism about what is happening. It is not a spinning-your-wheels kind of energy, but a getting-there-takes-time-kind of feeling.  Keep your eyes open and look to others for support, even a kind word.  The sense of community is growing, and you will find that when you need it, a helping hand is there.

Crystal Energy:    Magnestite on Quartz-This combination helps in working with life issues and clearing stuck patterns.  It vibrates to the third eye chakra.

Tuesday, March 22:    Frosty White

World Water Day:    The theme of truth versus illusion continues today.  Consider carefully things you hear, things you see.  There is more to some of them than meets the eye. In dealing with people, stand strongly in WHO you are.  The overall energy of the times can lead you to to feel insignificant or uncertain, but that is all part of the illusion.  Exercise your Focus Muscle today, and you will be able to make out what is truly important.  There are a lot of things happening, and people are acting crazy.  Be careful in traffic.  This is a good day for being the observer.  By so doing, you can learn a lot.  Perhaps even manifest something you are desiring. Sometimes he who keeps his own counsel seems wisest of them all.

Crystal Energy:    Milky Danburite-This stone assists in seeing through to what is important.  It also aids in balance, visualization, and meditation.

Wednesday, March 23:    Magenta

Old friends will be a theme today.  This means that you can be contacted by those whom you have not seen for a while.  It also can mean that there will be memories, messages, thoughts, etc. from those who are not in this dimension.  What you make of them will be up to you.  But this is an opportunity day, so do not let this one pass you by.  It is a good time to be aware of what it is that you are wishing, desiring, wanting to create in your life.  The energy favors making inroads at manifestation.  It may not all happen today, but the plans that you make today have a momentum that will make them easier to carry forward as time goes on.

Crystal Energy:    Psilomelane-The energy of this stone is very grounding, soothing, and gentle.  It assists with elimination in all areas. Root and Navel chakras.

Thursday, March 24:    Chrome Green

Friday, March 25:    Pale Violet

There is nostalgia in the air.  Even as you spend time with friends, you are thinking of how you will miss them later.  Do not give into that. Enjoy the time you are sharing.  Feel the love and gratitude you have for having these people in your life at this time.  That feeling will remian iwth you opnger and help you through the times that are coming when, perhaps, you will not have the opportunity to be with them.  Times are changing and lives are shifting.  You are aware of these currents right now.  It is well to remember that they are part of a larger picture, a greater scene, a wider horizon.  Hints of things to come are in the air today, along with everything else.  There is peace to be had if you will open to it.

Crystal Energy:    Golden Aragonite-This mineral opens one to a greater recognition of what life can bring.  It assists in empowerment, recognition of abilities, and alignment with spirit.

Saturday, March 26:    Blue Diffusion

There is an evenness in the air today that makes everything kind of seem like the same.  It is not a good day for making choices, well it depends on where you are coming from, but all options will seem equally good or equally bad, depending on how you look at things. Because of this, it is a good time for looking at issues that are usually charged with emotions.  You will be able to be more objective, and perhaps even get to a resolution in terms of some of these issues. The energies favor taking it easy, relaxing, and taking some time to enjoy nature.

Crystal Energy:    Black Idiocrase-The energy of this mineral allows for grounding.  It assists in meditation and relaxation. Root Chakra.

Solar Filament

MAGNETIC FILAMENT: A long and sinuous filament of magnetism is snaking over the sun’s western limb. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the 200,000 km-long structure in mid-twist on the morning of March 18th:

Long filaments like this one are often unstable. If this one erupts, it could hurl pieces of itself toward Earth. More likely, the filament will continue to wind over the western limb, active but intact. Either way it’s a good show.

Binary Sun Seen in China

Two Suns: China May Have No Explanation for Dual Sunset but Astronomers Do

China had two suns recently and there seems to be no valid explanation for the odd phenomenon. The appearance of the two suns comes just weeks after a rumor sent the web into a frenzy by saying that a star would soon blow up causing two suns to appear in the sky. Was this the star showing up or is there some other explanation for the odd event?

Even though the story was debunked, it seems that it happened anyway. The suns appeared next to each other in the sky, creating a dual sunset. One of the sun’s was fuzzy and orange,  while the other sun appeared to be more yellow.

According to Jim Kaler from the University of Illinois, the two suns can be explained scientifically, but it’s not something that even science completely understands. Though this is an extremely rare event, the double sun in the sky is actually just an effect of optical refraction, Kaler said.

“I doubt it’s been computer modeled,” Kaler said. “There must have been some blob of atmosphere somewhere that caused this truly spectacular phenomenon, which in a sense is a mirage.”

Other scientists and astronomers agree with Kaler.

“This is not a common optical phenomenon that we’re seeing here,” said Grant Perry, who is an atmospheric scientist at the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Institute for Satellite and Meteorological Studies. “I’m asking myself if this is an artifact of the lens, but if that were the case — if it’s reflections of the lens elements — then the images would move in relation to each other as the camera moves…But that doesn’t happen.”

What do you think of the two suns? It definitely looks like some sort of optical illusion, but at the same time, it’s amazing to think that it is actually a natural phenomenon. Those who witnessed it first hand are very lucky!

The Science Behind a Tsunami

by NANCY ATKINSON on MARCH 12, 2011

The massive magnitude 8.9 earthquake that struck off the east coast Japan’s main island on March 11, 2011 set in motion a fierce tsunami that may have claimed thousands of lives, and sent tsunami warnings all across the Pacific basin, thousands of kilometers away from the quake’s epicenter. How do earthquakes trigger such enormous tsunami events, and how can scientists predict where these massive waves might travel? Universe Today talked with Anne Sheehan, who is a professor of geological sciences at University of Colorado at Boulder, and is also affiliated with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, as well as getting input from David Admiraal, an associate professor of Engineering at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.

Overall Color for the Week:    Light Opal

The energies this week are all about value and values.  In the wake of the Japanese disaster, people are seeing that a lot of the stuff that they considered important pales in comparison to life and love.  These are themes that will cause a dramatic shift in how people determine what they do and what they desire.  You can find yourself questioning some of the things that you thought were so important. This can lead to confusion, and perhaps some shock.  Various relationships are changing now, not only with people, but also with money, position, etc.   There is a new thrust towards personal fulfillment, and part of that now is the recognition of community, the love of friends and family.In the opalescent spotlight of the week’s energy, you can see what shines and leads to a sense of fulfillment and purpose. Honor these things. Make them your priorities.  They bring joy to your life.  The energies of this week are showing you this.  There  will be ups and downs as the week progresses, emotional times and some anger.  Go with it all.  Be with yourself as you experience and learn from these things.

On a larger scale, there are more shifts and movements within the Earth.  (If, in fact, as has been alluded to by some, the earthquake has been ’caused’ by certain frequencies controlled by agencies and organizations following some kind of personal agenda, then they will be finding that the Earth will be responding and that any control they felt they had will be severely challenged.)  This is a time for all people to open up to their innate feelings of compassion.  This will bring together and strengthen the energies of community and rightness that are at work at this time.  There will be conflicting messages coming in many different areas, and it is well to check them out in a number of different sources before taking them as facts.  Look to the skies for some interesting sights.  There will also be some discoveries made concerning ancient civilizations that can cause confusion in the academic world.

Sunday, March 13:    Lavender Mist

This is a good day for deja-vu, and not just in terms of an isolated incident, rather quite a few.  Do not be surprised if you find something tugging at your memory, or if you have the sense that there is one more thing to deal with, even though you are not sure just what it is.  There is melancholy in the air today, so be good to yourself.   Nostalgia also is part of the energy.  Accept what has gone before.  Acknowledge the lessons.  Be forgiving of yourself and others.  Remember this human condition thing is shared by all of us, and by understanding, compassion, and working together, we can make the best of it all.

Crystal Energy:    Sillimanite-The energy of this mineral assists informing images out of incoming frequencies and vibrations, as well as psychic hits.  It is associated with the crown chakra.

Monday, March 14:    Rose Gold

This is a day on which it is best to be patient if you are looking for good things to happen.  The message that you have been waiting for is coming your way, however it will come later than expected and contain more information than you are wanting.  It can also contain tasks that you must perform in order to move beyond the issues that are confusing you at this time.  This is a day in which there is much out there to be seen, however a lot of it is facade without substance.  Be discerning.  Look for the clues. You can discover that you know a lot more than you had thought.  There is a strong possibility that someone you relied upon is going to show themselves to be less than reliable.  Be understanding.  There is a story there.

Crystal Energy:    Pearl-The energy of this element has to do with focus and becoming.  It can bring about a kind of manifestation, but how that happens will be determined by the energy and intent that went into the desire.  Associated with the Third Eye.

Tuesday, March 15:    Medium Pink

This is a day of different layers and levels.  You might find yourself confused by issues and choices that come your way, mainly because with this energy you can see the viability, even desirability of more than one option.  Because of this, it is a good idea to put off making any important decisions at least for a day.  Things are going to seem better than usual today, people nicer, situations more pleasant.  In this kind of an atmosphere, it is a good time to deal with unpleasant issues and people.  they are not going to affect you as much as they might otherwise. Be alert for some kind of hint or message relating to an issue in your life that you need to resolve.  Then, as the week progresses, act upon this information.  There are things to learn.  Also, dream time is important, both in terms of content and in terms of getting enough sleep.

Crystal Energy:    Angelite-The energy of this stone allows one to be in touch with one’s purpose and to speak one’s truth.  Throat Chakra.

Wednesday, March 16:    Light Magenta

There is some relief in the air today.  You do not need to be quite so guarded in your dealings with others, especially in terms of your job/profession.  You have the ability now to see bosses and co-workers as equals, like you on this path and dealing with all the craziness of the energies of this time.  Also you have the opportunity today to put things into perspective.  Take time, therefore to determine what is truly important for you.  What you would ‘go to the mats’ (okay, I do not know what this really means, but I do know that it has something to do with ‘The Godfather” and that guys get it, so …. perhaps this part is particularly relevant for them.) for.  Anyhow this is a good day to take some time to deal with priorities.  And if you choose to do so, you will get some insights as to where these things are going and what they mean.

Thursday, March 17:     Pale Apricot

The winds of change are blowing today.  There are times when change is good for you, and this is one of those times.  You have been waiting ofr things to shift, and with the energies of the day, that can happen. This is a day also for being centered and grounded, so take some time before you go out to be with yourself.  Take some time to appreciate WHO you are and all that you have done.  Take some time to protect yourself from outside energies because with change in the air, you never know what is going to happen out there, and it is best to be prepared. There are those who are going to want to tell you what to do, to convince you that it is the best, and to talk you into thinking that it was all your own idea.  Listen carefully, and you will know, by running it through your heart’s own truth, whether this is for you or whether they are just saying this to make themselves feel better.

Crystal  Energy:    Amethyst-The energy of this mineral is calming.  It assists one in understanding what is going on around and to see things with a compassionate eye.  It also brings in appreciation for the spiritual dimension and the ability to work in that area.

Friday, March 18:     Pink

The old adage of things happening in threes may be showing itself in odd ways today.  Be alert for coincidences.  There is something telling in them.  You may feel yourself a bit off, perhaps unwell, not quite like yourself.  When that happens, listen to what your body is saying, and perhaps you will understand what is going on.  There is something outside of you that is affecting not only you but everyone around you too. This is a good day to be aware of community, along with shared interests and aims. You can find that some people with whom you thought you had nothing in common are actually very much on the same page.  Tonight, be quite and rest.  The energies are not favoring activity on a large scale.

Crystal Energy:    Amethyst-The energy of this crystal assist with integration of body, mind, and spirit.  It promotes acceptance, understanding, and a sense of calm..

Saturday, March 19:    Diffuse White

Full Worm Moon*  aka Crow Moon:    This is a day on which things will be coming in small increments.  It is a good day for getting the details cleared up and making sure that everyone is on the same page.  It is important at this time to build a strong foundation and to make sure that things are clear to everyone.  Misunderstandings can quickly spin out of control and end up as arguments.  Emotions can run deep from this time on, and feelings can easily be hurt.  Take time today to ground yourself.  Take some time also to know what is truly important to you, to prioritize. There are messages about that can give you some hope in relation to a situation that has seemed totally too much to deal with.  Know that within your heart is the strength and clarity to assist in all that comes your way.

Crystal Energy:    Chrysoberyl-This stone is good for detoxification, which can assists in getting rid of some of the stuck energy.  When this is done, it also assists in moving forward.

(*This Full Moon is also a ‘Super Moon’, which means that the moon is at a point in which it is closest to the Earth.  It is said that in this position, the moon can be affecting the Earth more strongly than usual.)
