“It didn’t matter, back then, that most of us were US citizens and had never even been to Japan. We were presumed guilty, and held without charge for four years, simply because we happened to look like the people who had bombed Pearl Harbor. For that crime, we lost our homes, our livelihoods and our freedoms.”
— George Takei

If Your Birthday is April 20
(The Day of Worldly Challenge) | Birthday Readings: Aries | Taurus | All Other Signs
There are certain notions or habits that can be carried down through a family tree almost like a gene. If a specific pattern is arising now and you’re not aware of its origin, start by researching your genealogy and getting to know your ancestors more thoroughly. Eventually you should receive an idea as if crossing a threshold, which is likely to help you see with a broader perspective.
Written in the Planets
Pluto now joins the retrograde parade, and Mercury enters Aries on its own backward journey. Many of us have been feeling rather buffeted by recent events, while already somewhat bewildered by the onrush of daily information we receive through technology. We might all need to slow our own pace a little. Drift with the tide, and don’t push yourself beyond your means. Think your plans over carefully and thoroughly. You have more time than you imagine.
You may pre-order all 12 signs of INVOLUTION, the 2017 Spring Reading, here. What we’re living through today is not written about in any book. We’re its pioneers in consciousness, and INVOLUTION will be your guide.
