Earthdance 2008 starts with the rare alignment of Mercury, Venus and Mars in Libra. The last time this occurred was Jan. 2nd 1994 and the next time will be May 21st 2011.

This fusion of communication/ideas, beauty/sharing and desire/action, reflects the energy of "excitement" embodied with the awareness of "relating". This energy builds all 3 days as this creative triple fusion moves closer to a perfect trine with Neptune, the planet of music and art. This energy is especially felt by artists and musicians who are sure give some of their most inspired performances. It will create a collective desire to desolve the borders of separation and move into oneness.

The Sun will be opposed to Uranus, creating an electricly charged atmosphere supporting groups who are brought together for a common cause. This is also an energy that supports the "lightning strike" forces of attraction between the sexes and the spontaneous awareness of "cosmic" or fated moments. The rare Jupiter trine Saturn is almost perfect as well. This creates an expansive groundedness that supports the sharing of purpose and commitment. This major harmony serves greater understanding of the "bigger picture" and your place & purpose in it.

The Moon starts out on Friday in Aquarius aligned with Neptune, and then trines the Mercury/Venus,/Mars fusion to create a collective mood of inspiration, communing with nature and an overall feeling of truth and oneness. On Saturday the Moon is in Pisces sextiling Jupiter, which communicates expansion and the full expression of feelings. The Full Moon on Sunday aligns with the excitement of Uranus to create a cresendo of creative, collective tribal sharing.

Astrologically, this has to be THE most creative and exciting weekend of 2008, period.
