New Moon Report for April 17 – Full Moon in Libra

Full Moon in Libra

Sunday, April 17, 7:44 pm PDT, 10:44 pm EDT

The accommodating Libra Moon’s opposition to the Sun in self-reliant Aries brings relationship issues into the foreground. It’s an opportunity to gain clarity about how we give too much to others, undermining our own interests, and when unwillingness to compromise weakens partnerships. Libra’s sociable ruling planet Venus is in Pisces forms an awkward quincunx with the Moon, an aspect that increases uncertainty and encourages sacrifice. However, honest discussions help us to find the right balance between personal needs and mutual interests that inspire us to work and share with others effectively.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for April 15 – 17

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

Brace Yourself

April 15 – 17

Friday is the quiet before the storm. The Moon in analytical Virgo is concerned with being neat, clean and orderly. No emotional messes or personal excesses are welcome in this productive and polite environment. Still, a lunar opposition to self-conscious Venus could produce a delicate moment or two in the afternoon. Is she or he flirting or is this really all about business? It may be tricky to read the signals you’re getting or even to assess your own feelings. Your best strategy is to enjoy the moment without making too much of it.

Saturday finds the Moon in Libra, the relationship sign that’s made for connecting with others. However, the Moon runs a gauntlet of stressful planetary aspects with edgy Uranus, punishing Pluto, aggressive Mars and restrictive Saturn that makes this a less than mellow day. Trying to accommodate and meet others halfway is Libra’s job, but even an expert peacemaker might have difficulty maintaining a cool attitude in this overheated environment.

Engaging in vigorous physical activities is an ideal way to burn off this intense energy, yet it’s best not to try anything dangerous under these risky conditions. Imbalance in relationships is also possible as one person is discontent, angry or upset and the other does everything she or he can to calm the situation. It may be wiser to get out of the line of fire if it’s obvious that emotions have overcome reason.

Sunday’s Libra Full Moon should bring issues to a head, hopefully clearing the air and making room for a fresh start.

Daily Horoscopes for April 15th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Today’s earthy Virgo Moon requires us to analyze the facts, then make decisions based on common sense. Although we want to be practical, our logic may be hastily conceived now as Virgo’s key planet Mercury is retrograde. Additionally, mental Mercury forms a squishy semisquare with imaginative Neptune, tempting us to choose fantasy over reality. Paying extra careful attention to our perceptions can minimize the confusion that could lead us astray.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your workmates may be extra critical of your actions as the picky Virgo Moon visits your 6th House of Details today. However, you’re not in the mood to change your behavior just to placate someone else. Perhaps you are being judged unfairly, but you would still be wise to consider how to address their concerns before you completely shut them out. This could be a significant opportunity for you to improve your game, rather than complaining about others who don’t appreciate what you do.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might actually be able to finish your work because you are not as likely to be distracted today. Although you could still be a bit scattered in your thinking, it’s helpful that your friends who often tempt you to leave your responsibilities now have a lot to do themselves. If you are ahead of schedule now, don’t get lazy. You can accomplish more than you expect if you simply keep going at a steady pace.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be revisiting childhood memories with more clarity than usual, and this could be a pleasant distraction from what you should be doing. However, your little excursions into your personal history might reawaken emotions from the past. Analyze your feelings so you know which ones are significant enough to motivate new action. This process will take practice, but, fortunately, you can learn to keep up external appearances now while you also attend to your journey within.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are the most productive when your new ideas are reinforcing your professional goals. The smart Virgo Moon is thinking her way through your 3rd House of Communication, elevating your confidence and reminding you that you are on the right track. There isn’t any hurry now, because, thankfully, your current plan should solidify in the next week or two.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Take inventory of what you have recently accomplished so you can raise things to the next level without making yourself much busier than you already are. Stabilizing your financial and social networks enables you to maintain a higher level of creativity now. Remember, you don’t have to expend more energy; gain efficiency and consistency by acting smarter in everything you do.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

The Moon’s visit to dutiful Virgo is a mixed blessing now. On one hand, you aspire toward quality in your work and in your relationships. Fortunately, sound data allows you to think clearly and make wise decisions. On the other hand, the Moon emphasizes your subjective feelings, which can have you reconsidering a recent decision. Listening to both your head and your heart will lead to the best of both worlds.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You still have a day or two to finish up old business before the Moon returns to your sign and initiates a brand new cycle. This isn’t the smartest time to start a project — you are much better off focusing on finishing an old one. However, it’s not enough now to just meet your obligations with efficiency. There are lots of possibilities before you; take the one that also incorporates elements of grace and beauty.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

The Moon in your 11th House of Hopes and Dreams can draw your attention into the future as if it were today. But you must not lose sight of your position and what you have on your plate right now. You must find a harmonious balance between your ideal vision and your current everyday reality. Thankfully, you will know that you’re on the right path when you can hold your dreams in awareness, even when you are awake.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Grandiose ideas and extravagant plans may come naturally to you, but today’s detail-oriented Virgo Moon in your 10th House of Career requires you to place limits on yourself. However, no one will be able to do this for you; it must come from within. Rather than looking out at every distant horizon, focus on what is directly in front of you.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Everyone’s seeking you out today because it appears that you can plan events, solidify projects or simply determine the best way to get a job done. Your mind may be able to cut through the myriad of details, enabling you to make crucial decisions about what is important and what is not. But it’s not constructive to become overly detached from your feelings. Bring compassion into your process, for it can make the difference between just getting by and stunning others with your sincerity.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You become uncomfortable today if someone brings up a touchy emotional issue that you cannot easily avoid. Ironically, your current attempts to sidestep a difficult discussion can actually be harder than just breathing deeply and jumping in. Even if you are overwhelmed by complex emotions, listen closely to what others say and then express what you feel. You should come out of this situation with a renewed appreciation for life.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

The Moon’s activation of your 7th House of Partnerships shifts the focus away from you and puts it on others with whom you work and play. Unfortunately, they may be less inclined to join in your dreams and fantasies now, which can be disheartening for you. But don’t blame anyone else for your discomfort; instead, take a bit of time and gently nurture those parts of yourself that remain unappreciated.

Moon Sextile or Trine Pluto
Passions are likely to run high during this aspect. Exploring the world’s mysteries may be a very attractive pursuit at this time.

Mercury In Aries
Mercury in Aries is an influence that does not favor diplomacy. Many will be far more outspoken than usual. Dissension will be prevalent. Traditional approaches to handling challenges are likely to be replaced by new, more affective strategies. The need to be on the cutting edge of things will be strong.

Mercury Conjunct Mars
Debates and analytical thinking are likely. The candid words of some may be so frank that they may be seen as offensive to those on the receiving end.

Uranus In Aries
The astrological influence of Uranus is measured in increments of 7 years. What this means is that the effects of Uranus influence an entire generation.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Daily Horoscopes for April 14th

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

Our perceptual filters kick in as the Moon shifts into discerning Virgo at 2:40 am EDT. Ironically, just minutes later the Moon opposes nebulous Neptune in dreamy Pisces, heightening the differences between fact and fancy. Ultimately, we are more apt to respond with emotional clarity today because the Moon forms a harmonious midday trine to perceptive Pluto. Meanwhile, trickster Mercury’s retrograde continues to stir up delays if we’re too pushy.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It doesn’t matter that you’re eager to take a risk and make something outrageous happen today; you probably won’t get your crazy plans off the ground. Unfulfilled promises could restrain your behavior until you finish your current obligations. But don’t let frustration get the upper hand, because having an emotional meltdown now will not add anything desirable to the quality of your life. Overcome your impatience and wait for a better moment to start something new.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you claim that you can work within the current limitations being placed on you, you cannot help but fantasize about your favorite escape. You understand that rebellious behavior won’t necessarily bring the results you want, but you don’t seem to have the control you need to keep things stable. Even if you want to blast your way out of the rut you are in, common sense should win out for now.

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You must attend to personal matters today, even if you are simultaneously being pulled toward more public obligations. At first, it may seem as if your job will offer you some respite from your domestic responsibilities, but you would be smart to realize that you won’t be able to escape from your family duties for too long. Don’t try to outsmart your workmates by pretending to do your job. Be honest about your situation while sustaining your work pace the best you can.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might become angry if someone at work pushes you too hard today. Your superiors may have inflated expectations, yet you know that there’s only so much that you can handle now. Unfortunately, trouble arises if you don’t establish clear limits. There’s no need to complain about anything that is beyond your control, because that just makes the situation worse. It helps to be specific and let others know exactly what you can and cannot do before things get out of hand.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could run into an unexpected out-of-pocket expense today that reminds you of the instability of your current financial situation. However, it doesn’t make sense to get discouraged now, even if you don’t see how you’re going to balance your incoming funds with your outgoing cash. Although a longer-term solution may take conscious effort, the immediate problem is temporary and should ease on its own in a couple of days.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel as if you’re being emotionally bounced around today, even with the Moon back in your practical Earth sign to help you focus your attention on what is most useful. But your day probably won’t unfold according to your plans. Instead, you need to change your agenda several times to accommodate the shifting tides, which are beyond your control. Let go of your personal expectations so that you can transform a challenging day into one that’s filled with pleasant surprises.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends and associates may not realize that you’re having a tough time today because you’re not telling anyone about your concerns. Ironically, your doubts could be greatly eased by the simple act of sharing them. Your fear of being criticized might be your biggest obstacle to opening up. But remaining silent and losing yourself in endless analysis won’t lead to a logical resolution. You’re better off by just blurting out the truth now. Although you may surprise someone with your radical perspective, an honest discussion should relieve the tension.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There is so much happening today that you may not have time to make a sensible plan. Figuring things out on the fly will probably get you through the day unless someone questions your integrity, prompting you to defend yourself. Just remember that open conflict isn’t a useful course of action; you would be smarter now to change your tactics and be less impulsive. Ultimately, you should be able to avoid an unnecessary argument by focusing on your goals and not on what anyone else says.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you’re still interested in setting your work aside in favor of another enjoyable diversion, playtime is harder to justify today. Your professional responsibilities may be so demanding now that you just cannot get away with your planned escape. You might feel frustrated, but don’t worry; the pressure won’t last. Hunker down and do what’s expected of you so you can feel free enough to relax later on.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your hard work might not pay off right away, but don’t let that stop you from being extra conscientious about completing your job. It’s not that others won’t appreciate your contribution; it’s just that they are so busy today that they may not stop to acknowledge you. Don’t lose your focus worrying about being noticed. If you’re patient, your just rewards will arrive soon enough.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Extra stress may come from financial institutions, investments or partnerships today, and there might not be an obvious way to avoid it. However, don’t put off any banking business that should be handled; starting sooner than later can make a big difference. Money management may not be a lot of fun, but handling complicated business affairs now can increase your sense of security and will help you feel more at ease.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Interactions with someone who can exert control over your life may not go as smoothly as you hoped. You would be a lot more willing to acknowledge another person’s authority if he or she actually deserves your respect. But it’s challenging to acquiesce to anyone who assumes power without earning it. Don’t be afraid to stand up for your convictions. You will only have to face the same issue again if you back down now for the sake of convenience.

General Daily Horoscopes for 4/13

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

It’s difficult to escape the possible complications that stem from Mercury’s continuing retrograde phase which lasts until April 23. However, message mix-ups and schedule snafus are more likely if we’re overextended. Unfortunately, five planets, including Mercury, are in impulsive Aries, encouraging us to take on too much. Thankfully, an expressive Leo Moon harmoniously trines three of these planets, enabling us to accomplish more than we expect.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It feels as if you’re on an emotional seesaw because you have been up and down so often recently that it’s difficult to see what’s happening from a wider perspective. But your outlook is sunny and upbeat, even if there’s nothing special happening today. Make use of your positive attitude now by jumping in and tackling problems while they don’t seem so overwhelming.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You really don’t have to show off by demonstrating how together you are today, for the very act of drawing attention to your security exposes your lack of it. While it’s possible that your self-confidence has been vacillating lately, it’s more important now to do something that makes you feel good, instead of trying to gain approval from others. Concentrate your attention on your rich inner world instead of placing undue significance on outside influences.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You should take extra precautions today because your life may be a whirlwind of activity. Although you typically like thrills and surprises, you could be caught off guard if you lack enough confidence now. Don’t be distracted by every interesting thing that goes flying by. Maintain a soft focus, instead, since this allows you to stay balanced while you’re still in motion.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s stressful today trying to balance your time between work demands and domestic matters. But this current dilemma brings up a deeper issue about your fears of not being able to do it all. Although you might slide by now if you demonstrate how serious you are about doing a good job at home and on the job, this won’t be helpful in the long run. The ultimate solution may require you to face your insecurities by talking about them with someone you trust.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your sign is emotionally intense, as your moods swing wildly like a pendulum out of control. However, you can continue to make steady progress by observing your feelings without necessarily saying anything about them at all. It isn’t always easy to let the wisdom of your body react naturally, without an audience. Keep your feelings to yourself until things settle down in a day or two.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It may seem as if others are hiding important information from you, but you don’t know what it is so there isn’t any simple way to investigate without appearing to be paranoid. However, the more you ignore your current uneasiness, the louder it grows. Watch out, for you could end up creating a problem that was never there. Be totally upfront today; admitting that you are worried can help lessen your insecurities right away.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your interest in creating a relationship with a workmate may be piqued by a surprising conversation today. This probably isn’t just a passing fancy; it’s more likely the seed of an important journey ahead. In the meantime, plan something special for yourself that’s not about work or about taking care of someone else. Think bigger than usual and act boldly. Taking a risk can prove to be more fun than you ever imagined.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Managing details at work is a wise thing to do now that the Moon is in your 10th House of Career. Working quietly behind the scenes often has its benefits, yet today you actually need to feel appreciated. Unfortunately, trying to win approval from your superiors could end up being a waste of your valuable time. Your safest path to being noticed is simply doing your job to the best of your ability.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t need to withhold your enthusiasm today because your confidence will have a positive effect on your co-workers. At first, they might think that you’re filled with hot air. But you’re not promising more than you can deliver and your peers will become true believers when they see what you can do. Remember, your ultimate talent isn’t in telling others what to do; it’s the gift of joyfully leading by example.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel very close to someone special today without being physical at all — intimacy comes in many flavors. Now, with the Moon illuminating your 8th House of Deep Sharing, consider how to enhance an interaction with a friend or family member by opening your heart. Simply expressing your fears with someone you trust will create a doorway to a more meaningful relationship.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The self-expressive Leo Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners today, cajoling you to reveal yourself through acts of generosity. But you still need to set clear boundaries by defining your limits or your magnanimous behavior could pull you overboard. Remember, you grow less believable when you overstate your case, so be quiet once you’ve made your point.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s helpful to be able to count on something real today. Thankfully, the Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Habits encourages you to lean on your familiar routine as a strong foundation. Regardless of how spaced-out or confused you might be feeling, it’s crucial to go through the motions of whatever you do on a daily basis. However, this is not about playing your part mechanically or detaching yourself from your emotions; it’s about reestablishing the meaning in your everyday life, instead.

We think we can handle whatever reality tosses our way today. We might even be eager for what comes next with action-hero Mars running through his own sign Aries. Additionally, the Moon slipped into heartfelt Leo last night at 11:37 pm EDT and is now warming our desires and amplifying the intensity indicated by the magical quintile between romantic Venus and passionate Pluto. Our willingness to go deep should reap big emotional rewards now.

It’s easy for you to get a lot done today because the Moon in your 5th House of Self-Expression harmonizes with your key planet Mars. You may be tempted to set aside work for a while in order to pursue pleasure, but it’s probably not a good idea to trade your promises for immediate gratification. Don’t try to shift the blame for your dilemma to anyone else. Just consider the consequences and do whatever makes the most sense in the long run.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may not be able to avoid the weight of responsibility today, you are likely to be more concerned now with expressing your feelings than you are with doing your current job. Your romantic heart is in direct conflict with your practical head, distracting you from accomplishing the work at hand. Even if you feel driven, there’s no need to take action right away. Allow your emotional stress to reach its crescendo and then subside before swinging into action.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your workmates or friends can turn this into quite a busy day, and that’s just how you like it. You are in top form and are able to show off your charm and wit as you flit from one activity to another. But strong desires are brewing just under the surface now, so don’t bother wasting your energy on trivial matters. Keep something in reserve for when you will need it over the next few days.

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Normally, you can be so sensitive to other people’s emotions that it’s often tough for you to take action. However, you’re more likely now to respond immediately to a difficult situation at work than to adopt a wait-and-see approach. But don’t overcompensate by being wildly impulsive; too much confidence leads to recklessness, which might create new problems faster than you can solve the old ones.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You appear to be an open book today because the demonstrative Leo Moon is lighting up your 1st House of Personality. Although others may not recognize it, you’re in touch with deeply rooted emotions that haven’t reached the surface yet. Your thoughts carry even more weight because they are unspoken. After you share what’s on your mind, the energy dissipates quickly. In the meantime, observe how others judge you without necessarily saying more than you must.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want everyone to know your likes and dislikes, encouraging you to keep your preferences quiet. You can quickly rationalize hiding your desires by expressing your unwillingness to hurt someone else’s feelings. However, it’s more complicated than that today, for remaining silent about what you want contributes to the problem, not the solution. Find a way to talk about what you’re feeling with enough sensitivity that you don’t offend anyone else.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to show your affection for your friends and associates, but you prefer to do it in an emotionally detached manner. This becomes more difficult once you start sharing your feelings because others are likely to be more responsive now than you ever anticipated. You will probably need to confront your own ambiguity, especially if someone reacts with great intensity. Although you’re resistant at first, you’ll feel better once everything is out in the open.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could surprise yourself today with the speed of your reaction to an event that is outside of your control. You say that you want to go with the flow, yet still have a hard time being flexible enough now with the Moon in fixed sign Leo. Surprisingly, most things should turn out okay if you are willing to step into this unknown territory, face the current issues one at a time and stay open to altering your overall course of action.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be enthralled by meeting your match as someone with lots of big ideas talks your head off today. You might wish that you could escape, but won’t likely try very hard. No matter what you do, ungrounded philosophical conversations seem to follow you wherever you go. Thankfully, you can learn something very valuable from your interactions with others. Even if you feel overwhelmed with too many details, new information can widen your horizons in a way that you truly enjoy.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Nothing is simple now; although you want to stick to the agenda today, you don’t necessarily feel like following all the meandering ins and outs of a complex conversation. Uncharacteristically, you might prefer to jump around from topic to topic, or perhaps, you just delve within your daydreams, where no one else can find you. Don’t judge others too harshly now. Remember, the tables are turned and this time you may be the one who’s seeking the fun and resisting the work.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you appear to be extremely flexible today, chances are good that your mind is made up and facts won’t likely be a catalyst for change. Unfortunately, this rigidity can get you into deep trouble now. You gain nothing by letting yourself be governed by suppressed fears. Talking about your current apprehension with a close friend or partner is the smartest way to dissipate the negative energy before it creates real problems.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want to impress everyone with how hard you work today, but you could struggle as you try to walk your talk. Unfortunately, your immediate needs may be in direct conflict with your distant goals, making it tough to know what to do next. This is a great time to quiet your mind and listen to your

THE GODDESS IS ALIVE

THE GODDESS IS ALIVE
              
Moon shines down upon a sea of Light,
Shifting sands lay singing in the Heart of the Night.
I looked upon a scene that gripped me to the core,
White-clad maidens below were dancing on the shore.
  
Sweet sounds slipped from moon-lit throats,
Wind whipped hair abound,
Lit by the light within and without,
The Women circled ’round.
  
As I stood, water engulfed my feet,
My body swayed to your Heavenly Heart beat.
Wind and wave and fire light,
Paled in my mind Earthly delight.
  
Time slipped by me as you held your embrace,
And windblown spray covered my face.
Protected deep within your Womb,
I could feel the tender pain of Life’s bloom.
 
Candles flared high as the Dance progressed,
Deep inside with a healing touch you blessed.
All around, wind, wave and fire shouted of your life,
Your light speared deep within, soothing my strife.
 
Divine Mother, Goddess of Light,
To you I come seeking protection from the night.
Come home to shelter within your arm,
Surrounded by Love, hidden from harm.

Holy Mother, Queen of Heaven and Earth,
From you we all trace our Birth.
Heavenly Goddess, light from above,
Shine down upon us, we pray for your Love.
