A Personal Radical Results Event

In 2010, fourteen years ago, right about this time of the year, my sister called me and offered to buy me a condominium in Florida. Needless to say, I said “Yes.” and the rest is history. Of course, back then I did not do

anything to prepare. It just happened. The call truly knocked my socks off. Now fourteen years later I know the same astro event is about to happen and now in a Sherlock Holmes fashion I attempting to ascertain what will happen this year and what I can do to make the best of it. As it portends to be good news I want to share my plans so you can take advantage of the goodness if you choose to.

The Astrology: WOW

The referenced astrological configuration only happens every 14 years. Whether, I figure out what to expect or not I do optimistically plan it to be positive for me and everyone else. The Astro particulars of this occasion are very dynamic. On April 8, 2024 we had a total Solar Eclipse in Aries, the sign of self-assertion. It occurred at 19 degrees of Aries the point in the zodiac where the Sun, the most important heavenly body, was joined by the Moon (Deep Feelings) and Chiron (Healing). Eclipses create hotspots in charts so that when a planet lands on the same spot it gets the added kick of the eclipse. It can be likened to the planet having superpowers. Now, noting that Chiron (Healing) was involved in the eclipse, we can surmise that the spot enjoys super healing powers. On April 20, 2024 Venus, the planet of love and money, will be at 19 degrees of Aries. Hmmm!

Returning to My Story (for Illustrative Purposes)

I have for most of my adult life been rather neurotic and obsessive in my way of thinking (head) and feeling (heart) about money. I have never been even close to any real deprivation. However, I have had a very long

history of mental suffering related to issues of having enough of it. Thus, for this upcoming round of Jupiter conjunct Uranus I am making a conscious choice to focus on healing my attitudes about money (Venus). And to do this I am digging deep into matters related to forgiveness. Why forgiveness?

Caroline Myss a renowned, highly respected, medical intuitive and an influential thinker in the alternative health field remarks that: “By far the strongest poison to the human spirit is the inability to forgive oneself or another person. Forgiveness is no longer an option but a necessity for healing.”

Then, consistent with my belief that “radical” is a significant keyword to describe this time, I am choosing to reference to the book Radical Forgiveness for guidance.

About the Book Radical Forgiveness

In this most interesting book Colin Tipping, the author of Radical Forgiveness, challenges conventional notions of forgiveness. Consequently, the book offers a fresh and quite radical perspective on healing deep wounds. The concept goes beyond traditional forgiveness by framing an inherent perfection in every situation, even those that appear to be deeply hurtful or unjust.

Using personal anecdotes, practical exercises, and spiritual insights, readers are guided on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Tipping emphasizes the importance of releasing resentment and embracing forgiveness as a path to inner peace and freedom. Unlike conventional forgiveness, which often involves

overlooking or minimizing the harm done, radical forgiveness encourages individuals to fully acknowledge their pain while also recognizing the potential for growth and spiritual evolution. In a very short summary I

would say, Colin Tipping ascribes to Nelson Mandela quotation that “Resentment is like drinking poison and thinking it will kill your enemies.”

A Radical Cosmic Mojo Challenge: A Head and Heart Reset

April 20 has the promise and potential to bring radically positive results. Mercury is in retrograde until April 25 and Mercury retrogrades favor rethinking. Colin Tipping and Caroline Myss remind us that lack of forgiveness hurts us and negatively impacts our well-being. Astrologically it is clear a Head and Heart reset has the potential to be powerfully beneficial.

The Head/Heart Reset Challenge:

Take an inventory of the hurts and affronts to your well-being in your life. Make a list of one or more (as many as you feel ready to address) people and/or situations related to your own actions who or that tend to haunt you because you have resentments or shame surrounding them. Then, commit to determining if you can frame your perception of the person or the event as being, in at least some way, inherently perfect for you and your growth and development of you to be the person you are today.

Cautionary note: If you commit to taking on this challenge exercise and it becomes daunting or overwhelming you will want to judge for yourself if it is not right for you or if it is not the right timing. If you need support I highly recommend the Radical Forgiveness book and of course, loyal friends and/or therapists can be helpful.

In closing I wish all who choose healing success on your journey. I will close with more wisdom from Carolyn Myss “Forgiveness is a mystical act, not a reasonable one.”
