Community Forklift: A Vital Resource for the Home and Community
craze. The trend cycle is moving rapidly, and constant redecorating has become the expectation. It is a modern farmhouse one day, maxi - malist and moody the next. Add to this the updates and renovations that are made as home- owners’ needs change. A bathroom is added, a kitchen is expanded, and a home office is turned into a bedroom. With each of these phases there’s change and new items are brought in. This evolution has also brought a mindset of disposability. Furni- ture that was once built to survive many moves and decades has been forgotten in lieu of items that are fast to put together and cheap to buy. There’s no expectation that flat pack furniture will last from your first apartment through your forever home. Similarly, contractors who are hired to demo a kitchen are tasked with getting rid of countertops, appliances, fixtures, and lighting in response to changing tastes and styles. These items that are easily discarded are now commonplace, and homeowners, eager to reno- vate and redecorate quickly, have often found it’s easier to trash their kitchen cabinets or out-of-style dresser than try to reuse. Yet all of these items could continue to have a useful life. This whirlwind of home updates has led to increased dumping of furniture, decorative items, and construction materials in American landfills. Year after year, the problem of waste becomes increasingly pervasive, and according to a 2018 EPA study, as much as 40 percent of the U.S. waste stream is composed of building materials. What’s more, landfills are a major contributor to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, and also negatively impact the communities surrounding them. The by-products of solid waste can impact heart and lung health, and can affect chronic conditions such

Walk into Community Forklift’s Edmonston, Maryland, reuse warehouse on a Saturday afternoon, and expect to see as many types of people as there are architectural styles in the DMV. There’s the couple tackling their first renovation, hoping to find enough tile for a small powder room. A contractor ogling over original Victorian fire - place mantles for their client’s row home. A young twenty-something in their first apartment, with their eye on vintage pieces discarded by someone whose style outgrew their family heirlooms. A small business owner looking for low-cost materials to use in building out their new space. Or the homeowner in need looking for a gently-used refriger- ator that they’ll receive through one of the organization’s community programs. If there was ever a place where the old adage, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”, comes alive, it’s in this no frills warehouse overflowing with salvaged and surplus building materials and home goods. For nearly twenty years, Community Forklift has been a pillar of the DC community. A spot where those across the broader metro area plan any afternoon pilgrimage, hoping to source salvaged materials and secondhand furniture. And, while that’s the reuse warehouse’s most visible mission for home enthusiasts, the organization’s impact reaches far beyond gorgeous old mantels and retro light fixtures. Com - munity Forklift’s mission is multi-pronged, focused not only on res - cuing and reusing home goods, but on making a sustainable environ- mental impact, helping create comfortable homes for our neighbors, and community building. Community Forklift’s mission started in 2005, when a group of DC-area architects and home professionals became increasingly con - cerned about the amount of waste in their industry. They had stock- piled materials — good, usable materials — but there wasn’t a way to redistribute that surplus to those who would be able to put it to use in their own homes. There was a clear problem, and Community Forklift was launched as the sustainable solution. “Six hundred million tons of construction debris are sent to land- fills annually in the United States alone. Community Forklift sees this as an opportunity to redirect those materials and turn them into a community benefit. We connect supplies with people who can use them, and we divert more than 150,000 items from landfills through our warehouse every year,” explains Executive Director Trey Davis. Those supplies have become a significant waste diversion and land - fill use reduction effort, with homeowners, building material suppli - ers, and contractors donating home goods, surplus stock, misorders, and architectural salvage. Because Community Forklift is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, these material donations are tax deductible for donors, and the supplies are then sold at a below market rate, and in some cases To understand how we got to this point, it’s necessary to look at the larger tide shifts in the home industry. Take furniture, for example: according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans threw out over 12 million tons of furniture and home furnishings in 2018, six times the amount measured in 1960. As home renovation shows and influencers have taken hold on the American public, people are paying more attention to their decor and imbuing it with the latest provided for free, to the community. Waste in the Home Industry
The Community Forklift warehouse overflows with salvaged and surplus building materials and home goods. as asthma. With minority and lower-income communities being more likely to live closer to waste sites, landfills are often closely tied to is - sues surrounding environmental justice for these communities. How Waste Became A Warehouse This is where Community Forklift’s sustainability mission makes an outsized impact. By making donated building materials and home goods available to the public, Community Forklift gives residents, lo- cal businesses, and building professionals a place to give supplies a second life. They can donate the things they don’t want or need rather

The Dao of Nature: Daoist Principles for a Sustainable Future BY GREGORY RIPLEY
also provides food for animals, insects, and so on, as the nutrients go back into the rest of the system. When we lead simpler, more frugal lives, we free up more resources for others. Being humble as a species means we can regain a place in the greater system of nature that does not throw off the equilibrium of the biosphere. An example of this humility could be looking to nature for inspiration when trying to find solutions to our environmental or technological challenges, as with biomimicry (and the second princi - ple above). Modern people in the Industrial Age took an immensely arrogant stance in the world. We thought we could do a better job designing things than nature, often with unintended consequences, which proved detrimental to the health of the biosphere. In fact, the phrase translated above as “humility” is more literally “not daring to be first in the world” or “not putting oneself above the world”. The well-known meme of ego versus eco might come to mind here. We can also think about humility in terms of possessions. We tend to become very attached to things that we “own”. We tend to think if we own something we can do whatever we want with it, even extend- ing this to the earth itself through owning a parcel of land. A more realistic and sustainable attitude might be that we are simply care- takers while we own something. If we are fortunate enough to own a piece of land, we bear some responsibility for the health and welfare of that land and the many beings that dwell there.
Daoism is an ancient philosophical and religious tradition that de - veloped in China over 2000 years ago. While mainly known in the West through its most foundational text, the Daode Jing , Daoism is a living tradition that has always valued a harmonious relationship with the natural world. The core of its teachings has remained constant through its many historical developments, and Daoists have always sought to maintain this relationship. This continues into the present day. As we seek to adapt to the realities of climate change, and mit- igate, if not reverse the worst effects of human-driven global warm - ing and habitat destruction, Daoist principles and ethical values have much wisdom to offer towards building a sustainable future. Daoists in China have been among the leaders in serving as role models for sustainable solutions in modern times, formulating a state- ment on ecology as well as developing a network of “Daoist Ecological Temples”, some of which double in function as ecological education centers. The “Daoist Faith Statement on Ecology” lists four guiding principles beneficial to the relationship between humanity and nature: 1. Follow the Earth: Human beings should help everything grow according to its own way. We should cultivate the way of non-ac- tion and let nature be itself. 2. Harmonize with Nature: Someone who understands this point does not exploit nature but will treat it well and learn from it. It is obvious that in the long run, the excessive use of nature will bring about disaster, even the extinction of humanity. 3. Avoid Too Much Success: If the pursuit of development runs counter to the harmony and balance of nature, even if it is of great immediate interest and profit, people should restrain themselves from it. Insatiable human desire will lead to the over-exploitation of natural resources. 4. Find Affluence in Biodiversity: Daoism has a unique sense of value in that it judges affluence by the number of different spe - cies. If all things in the universe grow well, then a society is a com - munity of affluence. If not, this kingdom is on the decline. This view encourages both government and people to take good care of nature. This thought is a special contribution by Daoism to the con - servation of nature. While a modern formulation, these four principles harken back to the roots of Daoism and the first Daoist values explicitly expressed as such, often referred to as “Laozi’s Three Treasures” from Chapter 67 of the Daode Jing : “I have three treasures which I cherish and hold dear; compassion, simplicity, and humility.” Compassion for other beings — humans as well as other life form- sand humility would go a long way toward solving our environmental challenges. If we don’t feel a sense of love and compassion for life, we won’t be motivated to care for it. As the Senegalese environmentalist Baba Dioum said, “In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught.” Simplicity in the above quote can also be translated as frugality or economy. Nature is frugal in the sense that it does not waste anything. Everything is recycled. Because it is frugal it can also be generous. Think of the way a maple or cottonwood tree throws out thousands of seeds. This “generosity” ensures the next generation of trees, but it

Daoism and Deep Ecology Daoism has traditionally included rules and guidelines among its ethical teachings which show a concern for the more-than-human world. For example, “The 180 Precepts of Lord Lao” from the fifth or sixth century contains many precepts that promote an attitude of con- servation and preservation of the natural world, including: Do not burn fields, wild lands, mountains, or forests. Do not carelessly cut down trees. Do not carelessly pick herbs or flowers. Do not throw poison into wells, ponds, rivers, or the ocean. Do not wantonly dig holes in the earth and thereby destroy mountains and rivers. Do not drain waterways and marshes. Do not fish or hunt and thereby harm and kill living beings. Do not dig up insects hibernating in the earth in winter. Do not carelessly climb trees to plunder nests and disturb birds’ eggs. Do not catch birds or animals in cages or nets. Do not startle birds or animals.

When East Meets West: Reiki Energy Healing Methods Evolve and Flourish
BY ANNIE LARSON
peror as a divine being (a kami ) until the end of WWII. According to the United Religions Initiative : The followers of Shintoism believe spiritual powers exist in the natural world. They believe spirits called “kami” live in natural places such as in animals, plants, stones, mountains, rivers, people and even the dead.
To understand the gentle healing energy of Reiki as both a comple- mentary & alternative medicine and a spiritual practice, it’s helpful to explore eastern traditions and western changes to Reiki lineages. There is a rich, largely oral history that has made its way from East
to West, passed down from teacher to teacher. B etween Mikao Usui’s discovery of Reiki over 100 years ago to the latest of - fering of Holy Fire® Reiki by William Lee Rand, a modern authority and prominent teacher of the Reiki System of Healing, the practice has grown and transformed. The delineation of such growth is shaped by eastern traditions and influ - enced by western culture, which creates confusion and controversy over the very nature of what Reiki is and how to prac- tice it. Certainly, many other Reiki Master Teachers, like William, have contributed to the proliferation and changes to Reiki. Though, if not for William, who studied, researched, traveled and wrote about the origins of Reiki in Japan, and who created several forms of it, Reiki may have slipped into obscurity. This was my realization when I met William this past summer at a conference in upstate New York where he was teach- ing. William was a conference speaker who looked out of place in his blue Ha- waiian shirt, faded jeans, and a green baseball cap against the backdrop of the hippie vibe of the old Sufi camp, where other attendees donned flowing peasant skirts, harem pants, and kimonos while att ending the several Yoga, healing, and
Mikao Usui, to distinguish the Kanji Reiki from his method of healing, added the word Ryoho (treatment, or method) . His first school was so -named “Reiki Ryo- ho Gakkai”, which translates to the “Spir- itual Energy Healing Method School ”, which opened in Tokyo within a month of Usui Sensei’s Reiki enlightenment. To become Reiki practitioners, stu- dents attend a certification class, as taught by a Shihan (master teacher), where they receive an initiation, called a reiju (at - tunement), and the accompanying train - ing to conduct chiryo (treatment). This process connects them to channel Reiki energy for healing. Students receive in- struction in three degrees or levels: Sho- den , Okuden , and Shinpiden . The third degree is the master level, hence the title “ Reiki Master ” . A Reiki Master Teacher is one who has trained to teach others in giv- ing attunements and conducting classes. Enter Hawayo Takata Before his death in 1926, Usui Sensei attuned and taught sixteen other Reiki Master Teachers; of those, Chujiro Ha - yashi was the last to be attuned. Because
metaphysical sessions being held . During lunch I introduced myself to this lanky older gentleman with a scruffy white beard and mustache , though I was not in his seminar, and he invited me to join him. This encounter began a week of meals and conversations about the convo- luted history and mysterious roots of the founder of Japanese Reiki, as well as William’s own 25-year journey to become a leader in the Reiki healing community — a title he would reject — all in the true spirit of sharing Reiki knowledge. History of Usui Reiki The origins of Reiki as a connection to a channel of healing are credited to Mikao Usui on Mount Kurama, Kyoto, Japan, in 1922. At age 56, Usui Sensei underwent shugyo — an austere daily training, or in his specific case, a 21-day inner peace meditation — under an Osugi (cedar tree) until he had his revelation about a channel, or method of natural healing, that addresses the whole person on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. Reiki is a Japanese word made up of two kanjis , rei and ki that means “spiritual energy”. This idea of spiritual energy comes from Shintoism, which was the state-sponsored belief that elevated the em-
Hayashi Sensei was a doctor, Usui Sensei encouraged him to open his own practice. He called it “Hayashi Reiki Kenkyukai” (institute). Ha - yashi Sensei attuned and taught Hawayo Takata. Takata Sensei was born in 1900 on the territory of Hawaii. After the premature death of her husband in 1930, she left with her two children from Hawaii for Japan to seek treatment for several illnesses. While in the hospital, she heard about Reiki. Under the care of Reiki Master Chujiro Hayashi Sensei, she recovered and stayed to learn his practice of Reiki. In February 1938, Hayashi Sensei initiated Takata Sensei as a Reiki Master, the first woman to hold that title. Hawayo Takata shrouded the origins and history of Reiki when she migrated from Japan back to Hawaii in the late 1930s. Reiki changed to accommodate western beliefs and customs. Takata Sensei wrote much in her diaries, lectures, and letters that have no basis or history in eastern Reiki as channeled by Usui Sensei. She confused many as - pects of Reiki, including associating it with Christianity and even in- ferring Usui Sensei was a Christian minister giving Sunday sermons! Usui Sensei was Shinto but raised in Buddhism. Reiki symbols re - vealed to him on Mount Kurama are found in the “Lotus Sutra”, a ven -

CULTIVATING COMPASSION
Sustainability? Don’t Sustain What We Do To Animals — End It BY JEREMY LOEB; EDITED BY CAM MACQUEEN
must learn empathy. We must learn to see into the eyes of an animal and feel that their life has value because they are alive.” I very quick - ly decided going vegan wasn’t enough. I wanted maximum impact. I knew I’d have to be an activist and bring to the public what had been hidden from me for more than three decades. I shifted my focus away from the climate catastrophe and towards animal rights. I started watching videos on YouTube from prominent animal rights activists like “Earthling Ed” Ed Winters and “Joey Carbstrong”, and from there I learned about several of the largest animal activist groups. The first activist event I joined was a vigil outside of a chick - en slaughterhouse in Morganton, N.C., with the Save Movement, to bear witness to the animals’ final moments and to tell their stories. I watched chickens trucked in by the thousands to meet a grisly end inside a bleak factory. I started attending events with Anonymous for the Voiceless, a group that displays slaughterhouse footage on city
For the better part of ten years I called myself an “environmental - ist”. I obsessed over things like getting low-energy LED light bulbs, recycling, and biking to lower my carbon footprint. As a reporter and host at four different NPR-affiliate radio stations across the southeast, I worked to elevate stories about the climate and other progressive causes; but I felt a deep sense of powerlessness. That all changed over - night. What jolted me from a sense of powerlessness to a sense I could actually make a meaningful impact was the Joaquin Phoenix-narrated documentary “Earthlings” on YouTube. The film documents in brutal detail all the ways in which humans exploit animals. I was left shaken and embarrassed that what was depicted had never crossed my radar until the age of 34. I felt enraged that I spent 15 years as a reporter
and had no clue about animal agricul- ture. I consider it a personal failure and an indictment of the media I voraciously consumed. I had been looking at the issue of sus - tainability all wrong. I had this amor - phous concept of the environment, the planet earth, and the sustaining of life on it. But until I watched “Earthlings”, I was missing the point entirely. The only rea- son the climate matters is the individual lives that are affected; and until that film, I had barely spared them a thought. Watching what happens to animals in animal agriculture changed me forever. I wanted to learn more. Documentaries like “Cowspiracy” on Netflix highlight the massive environmental toll animal agri-
streets, encouraging conversations with curious passersby. I visited what was then the largest slaughterhouse in the world — a Smithfield-owned pig slaughterhouse, in Tar Heel, N.C. — and heard the screams of pigs being killed inside the facility. Tour- ing the hidden-in-plain-sight pig farms throughout southeastern North Carolina, I witnessed a dumpster full of rotting pigs discarded like trash, including a mother with her piglets, some still attached by their umbilical cords. I joined brave activists in South Korea at a slaughterhouse outside of Seoul, where I saw that what happens in America is exactly what happens across the world. All the while, I watched as politicians I enthusiastically backed ignored the issue
culture plays. A 2018 study from Oxford University researchers , pub- lished in the journal Science, looked comprehensively at the damage animal agriculture does to the planet. Lead researcher Joseph Poore stated, “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth, not just greenhouse gasses, but global acidi- fication, eutrophication, land use and water use.” And that’s where I suddenly felt empowered, because I eat three times a day, and that’s something I have complete control over. Animal agriculture’s damage isn’t just felt in methane emissions, though those emissions alone are enough to bring about the worst ef- fects of climate change. Animal agriculture uses most of the land on the planet. We breed and kill, conservatively, 80 billion land animals per year. All of them must be fed and given water. All produce enor- mous amounts of excrement. Many people fail to consider that the amount of crops and fresh water used to keep those animals alive long enough to reach slaughter weight dwarfs anything 8 billion people could consume. The waste creates environmental hazards for ground water contamination and health hazards for people living in close proximity to animal ag facilities. Animal agriculture is a leading cause of land use, deforestation (in - cluding the Amazon rainforest, the “lungs” of the planet), freshwater use, water pollution, species extinction (we are in the sixth mass ex - tinction event recorded in the earth’s history), and ocean acidification. When we factor in fish, both farmed or ripped out of the ocean, we kill between one and three trillion animals per year. Focusing only on the environment is a mistake. We need a different relationship with animals. As “Earthlings” so powerfully states: “We
entirely. I watched President Joe Biden tout his administration’s cli - mate initiatives while giving a billion dollars to the meat industry to build more slaughterhouses. I watched as politicians like Democrat Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin spoke about the urgency of the climate catastrophe while pushing dairy industry protectionist bills like the “DAIRY PRIDE Act”, which is trying to prevent plant milk companies from using terms like “milk” under the absurd notion that it confuses consumers. Democrat John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is pushing an equally ridiculous bill to protect the egg industry from its cruelty-free alternatives. I watched as the COP28 international climate negotia - tions barely touched the issue of animal agriculture. This protection of animal industries already benefiting from a sub - sidy system heavily weighted towards animal agriculture is a betray- al of stated commitments to “sustainability.” I thought back to how I used to buy “free range” “cage free” eggs, “organic” “sustainable” milk, “humanely raised” “grass fed” “local” meat and felt like a fool. We have all been duped by greenwashing ploys, and we don’t have time for this. We must wake up to the reality that raising and killing animals for our taste buds is a major contributor to climate collapse. I scoured the media looking for stories about animal agriculture, thinking maybe I had just overlooked them. I had not. They hardly existed, save for a few notable publications like Vox, The Intercept and The Guardian. I reached out to my former NPR affiliate in Asheville, N.C., and was able to get them to cover the trial of an activist who rescued a goat in western North Carolina.

CULTIVATING COMPASSION
Don’t Sustain What We Do To Animals... ...continued from page 15 (DxE) had staged a bold “open rescue” (in which he streamed the en - tire rescue on social media) practically daring the authorities to arrest him and thus challenging our view of animals in the American court system. That trial opened my eyes to the fact that not only were the authorities ignoring the issue and passing laws to protect the moneyed interests perpetuating it, they were also seeking to put in prison those brave enough to stand against it . Wayne ultimately lost that case, but he gained me as a friend. I would go on to work on DxE’s press team and eventually for his Sim- ple Heart Initiative. I served as Wayne’s principal investigator in charge of exhibits and evidence in a trial in Sonoma County, Calif., for huge mass open rescues of chickens and ducks for which he served more than a month in jail. Both trials were depressingly consistent. The judge and prosecutors prevented nearly all of the evidence we pre- pared from being shown to the jury, calculating that when people see animals being harmed, they’ll support the people rescuing them. I’m hoping an upcoming trial in Dane County, Wisc., where Wayne and two other activists rescued beagles from Ridglan Farms, the second largest breeder of dogs for animal research, will have a different out - come; and I’ll reprise my role as his principal investigator. Hopefully this time we’ll be able to show the jury what’s being done to those dogs, so they may have an equally poignant epiphany as I did five years ago watching “Earthlings.” So where does this all leave us? It should leave us empowered. As individuals, we control what goes on our plates. We must take person- al responsibility for our own roles. We must educate ourselves. We must pressure these hypocritical politicians to take the issue seriously
and push systemic change. And we must support the brave activists who are putting their lives and freedom on the line to do what those authorities are too afraid to do. We must look in the eyes of an animal and see their lives have value simply because they are alive. And we must shift from focusing only on “sustainability” to solutions focused on protecting all those who are harmed by our crime of inaction.

Spring 2024: Navigating This World to Discover the Real You ASTROLOGICAL INSIGHTS BY MISTY KUCERIS
lunar eclipses occur, you have an innate understanding of what is re- quired to survive, especially when you’re under emotional stress. But when the eclipse is a penumbral lunar eclipse, you sense something is off kilter, yet your emotional response to this feeling is unclear. With the Sun in Aries and the Moon in Libra at this time, your emo - tional response will deal with relationships in your life. Usually during full Moon time periods you let go of situations that no longer support your needs. But since this is a penumbral lunar you can’t quite under - stand why you’re not letting go when holding on can be so painful. You may even feel frustrated and angry because you can’t seem to move on. Yet, for all of the off-kilter and askew energies this eclipse indicates, it may also represent something more important: the need to take time to understand what you’re getting from the relationship and whether the price being paid is worth it. If you can do this, you’ll be able to move on with your life at the right moment.
Brace yourself as Spring 2024 appears over the horizon and moves into your life. The next few months are one of the most intense time periods both astronomically and astrologically. Two eclipses empha- sizing the sign of Aries form the foundation for the energies you’ll experience this Spring quarter: the penumbral lunar eclipse that occurs on March 25, and a total solar eclipse that occurs on April 8. Meanwhile, other important energies are also occurring: the Spring Equinox with Sun in Aries on March 19; the change of direction with Mercury in Aries as it goes retrograde from April 1 until April 25; and Jupiter changing signs by moving from Taurus into Gemini. In general, this Spring quarter emphasizes the sign of Aries and all that goes with that sign. Spiritually, Aries represents where you take the new breath of life, discover your true identity, and find ex - periences that enable you to integrate your personality into your soul and this world. Because this energy is all about you and learning how to navigate your life in this world, you are willing to take risks without considering the consequences. You are ready to fight for your beliefs. The Spring Equinox, occuring on March 19 as the Sun enters the sign of Aries, heralds the official start of a new astrological year. You look forward to the warming of the Sun and the coming of new life. You feel excited the winter doldrums are now moving beyond you. And, with the Moon in the sign of Leo and moving away from a trine to the Sun, as well as the Sun forming a sextile to Pluto, you realize new opportunities exist that can bring more joy into your life. You feel passionate about what you want to do, and you won’t let other people stand in your way. While this passion is a gift because it’s easier to focus on your goals, Jupiter is moving into a conjunction with Uranus at this time that won’t be exact until April 20. This means other people may ques - tion your passion; or, they may present new concepts that disrupt your plans. While you want to focus on your goals right now, main- tain some flexibility in your approach. If you can do that, then when new information is presented to you between now and April 20, you’ll know how to respond. You’ll also know where making changes in your approach generates more benefits in your life. And, expect a lot of that new information to surface during the time period of the first two eclipses that are about to occur. Eclipses always evoke feelings among people. You may feel awe as you see nature shift in response to the dance played out by the Sun and Moon. Or you may experience feelings of dread as you realize just how much that dance between the Sun and Moon actually controls the re - sponse of nature in its interplay. In some instances you may not even realize the eclipse is about to occur — not because the eclipse occurs in some other part of the world, but because the eclipse, which occurs in space, is hardly, if even, registered here on earth. Meanwhile, other eclipses are of such magnitude they fool nature into believing some- thing has truly stopped the motion of the Sun and the day no longer exists. Both may seem extreme; but the two eclipses occurring this quarter represent both extremes on this spectrum. The penumbral lunar eclipse that occurs on March 25 is one of those eclipses that barely registers here on earth. While it occurs at the time of the full Moon, it occurs at the outskirts of the Earth’s shad - ow, called the penumbra. While technically the eclipse is said to be visible in most of North and South America, the Earth stands between the Moon and Sun, barely “kissing” the Moon. So, the Moon never enters the deep shadow of the Earth, the umbra, which creates a total or partial lunar eclipse. If you’re awake at 3:12:51 am EDT when this maximum eclipse occurs, you may see a slight flicker of shade cover the Moon; or not. But you really won’t see the disappearance of the Moon as you might expect at the time of a lunar eclipse. Still, there is astrological significance in this penumbral lunar eclipse, which I like to call the “askew” eclipse. When you experience a lunar eclipse, you find it’s important to understand your inner being through your emotions. While eclipses may obscure matters in gener- al, lunar eclipses also heighten survival instincts. When partial or total
Illustration 56657444 © Vhcreative | Dreamstime.com Before the next eclipse occurs, Mercury in Aries turns retrograde on April 1. It will remain retrograde until April 25. With Mercury in the sign of Aries you usually speak before thinking as thoughts just rapidly go through your mind. You also tend to take offense if people don’t hear what you have to say. Yet with Mercury in Aries retrograde, things are a bit different. You still don’t want people to tell you what to do. You still want people to listen to what you have to say without judgment. But you slow down. You start strategizing. You start think - ing about ways you can do things without alienating others. You still want your own way, but you tend to be a little more polite about how you get your own way. When the next eclipse occurs, it’s the most emotionally intense eclipse of all — the total solar eclipse. Here in the United States on April 8, you are about to see an eclipse of even greater magnitude than the “Great American Eclipse” that occurred on August 21, 2017. The April 8 total solar eclipse will cover all parts of the United States, ei - ther as a total or partial eclipse. The Moon this time is closest to the earth on the day prior to the eclipse. For this reason, the path of the eclipse is wider than in 2017; and the length of time for totality is dou - bled from that experienced in 2017. States that will see totality (if you
