Hi everyone!
What a peaceful scene of all our little yachts sailing under a
gentle breeze.
Get ready for a change in the planetary energies this week,
guaranteed to whip up some undercurrents!
Are we coming or going????
Both ways
all at once. It’s likely to feel like two waves of
energy coming from different directions meeting us in the middle! This week is
very much about going with the flow...surrender is the way!
Choppy seas to shift us out of our cruising lethargy!
This next week promises changeable planetary currents stirring us
into a change process which will challenge our sailing skills. How good are you
at reading the wind direction and taking appropriate action with the
sails?
Get ready to take ‘tacking’ action with so many planets changing
direction this week!
On top of the New Moon in Pisces, we
have significant changes to 5 other planetary bodies. That’s more than half our
‘planets’ going through change this week.
The planetary shifts are happening in air/mental and
water/emotional signs, so we can expect a period of inner confusion, possibly
chaos as minds and hearts are geared to changing energies.
What’s been happening:
Plenty of inner work!
Not a lot of outer
movement!
With the Pisces energies, retrograde Mercury/mind and Mars/body
slowing down, preparing to retrograde, we haven’t been doing a lot ‘on the
surface’, that is... physically. However, plenty going on under the surface.
We’re still moving...slowly with lots of inner shifts of mind, body, heart and
spirit!
Intensifying of energy just before planets change
direction:
As the planets slow and prepare to change direction, retrograde or
direct, there’s an intensification of their energy which demands we take notice
and finish off/complete whatever we’ve been processing in the cycle. It’s like a
finishing off, a bit like the last degree before a planet changes signs.
More solar activity, geomagnetic storms and
auroras this past week: Light energy pouring in on us
all!
Feeling a little wobbly, weepy, weary, wretched?
Some of this may be due to the ongoing solar activity as well as
the gathering of planetary healing in Pisces.
Norway, February 27th.
Water, water...means emotion plus!
We have 5 planets including Chiron in water signs. That’s a lot of
emotion! With Chiron/the wounded healer in the mix with Neptune and the Sun in
Pisces, we feel the emotional weight of the world washing through
us.
We are open and sensitive to feeling the emotional wounds of the
world. Be kind and sensitive with yourself and others. Gentleness is definitely
the way to go with the water energies. Saturn in Scorpio and Jupiter in Cancer
are working their magic with us emotionally pushing us to transform/transmute
karma and connect with our families of all kinds.
1st March:
Mercury turns direct at 18 degrees 10
Aquarius at 1.00 am AEDT
Mercury’s on
the move but still moving slowly through its retrograde shadow until the
20th/21st, the Equinox. Yes. Life will be getting back to some normality in
relation to communication, personal, technological etc. as well as in relation
to commerce, contractual agreements, buying/selling. Expect machinery,
technology, phones, travel plans, arrangements, appointments etc. to start
working again.
Ideas, innovative solutions coming to the fore:
Moving
forward with projects in the pipeline!
Mercury’s still up in the air with the Aquarian energy. Hence the
feeling of ‘lost in space’. Our minds are expanding with ideas!
However, Mercury’s happy in Aquarius as both relate to the mental
energies. And now Mercury’s gathering speed gradually, returning to some kind
of normality, we can expect some of these ideas to come to earth more readily.
Contact with other dimensions:
Mercury direct
and Jupiter in Cancer prepares to move direct on 6th
Now that Mercury’s moving direct, in Aquarius, it’s likely you may
be feeling the relatedness of energies from ‘the other side of the veil’,
ancestors, planetary energies/families as Jupiter’s retrograde journey comes to
completion on the 6th. Aquarius is the space cadet and Mercury is a happy
traveller in the other dimensions, networking with other dimensions in space.
Communicating with other dimensions:
Jupiter has been in retrograde in Cancer for some time, giving us
the opportunity to connect with the past, with family, with memories from other
times and other dimensions. Now Jupiter is in its
final week of retrograde, intensifying this connection with the past and
bringing something to culmination and completion. Just be open to coming into
contact with those memories, souls, dimensions, families from beyond our
physical world.
The Pisces energies of the Sun and the New Moon are complementing
this Mercury/Jupiter push for connectedness with the universe, the past life
memories, the other realities, the dream world.
1st March: New Moon
in Pisces at 10 degrees 39 Pisces at 6.59 AEDT...we are
one!
Welcome to the New Moon in Pisces, the Sun and Moon calling us to
float our ship of dreams into the ocean of the collective unconscious.
Accessing and healing wounds:
Big waves of
emotion
Chiron at 13 degrees Pisces is snuggling up to the Sun and Moon
reminding us all that we’re all in major healing mode and it’s a watery,
emotional affair and a major spiritual shift across the board! Everyone’s
in!
It’s spiritually uplifting: Ghosts are moving
on!
Neptune at 5 degrees Pisces isn’t far off either reminding us that
we are in big Pisces energy, clearing, healing, dissolving boundaries whilst
finding our own little vessel to carry us forward.
We are one of many and we are as one family!
Pisces is the ocean of oneness:
A bittersweet experience that heals!
As we reach the oneness, we experience the pain of separation from
humanity, from the earth, from family, lovers, friends, from the cosmos. We
experience the pain of separation from true selves. Hearts are opened in grief
to the love that is always there waiting for us to reach out to it. We are
entitled to love!
Breakdown, breakthrough and surrender to
love:
It’s the Pisces way!
Angelic forces are nearby to uplift and support!
In feeling the pain of separation, our tears are released, our
hearts are opened and the the wounds and suffering of the past, of separation,
are healed by the connection with the absolute love and forgiveness available to
us all when we are ready to embrace the bittersweet experience of life on
earth.
Dissolving the barriers to relatedness: We are one!
One family all in the same boat, on the same planet!
Jupiter in positive aspect to this New Moon energy is giving the
strong message that we are the one family, inhabiting planet earth, all awash in
the ocean of Pisces spirituality. Art:Arunas Zylis
Speak to
the ancestors, family:
Reunions of many kind are opened up with this New
Moon!
Jupiter in
Cancer at 10 degrees is assisting/trining the energies of the New Moon/Sun,
expanding our horizons emotionally and in a worldly sense giving us access to
our ‘families’ of the past, of other times and places as well as our immediate
family, soul family, light family...any family in fact.
Hopes and Dreams:
Pisces oneness offers up
dreams and hopes!
Be open to new possibilities in the light of this New
Moon!
It’s a New Moon and that means new energy,
new possibilities and new ideas. Pisces expands the vision, the connection with
dimensions beyond our earthly existence, visions which have been beyond our
sight up to now. If we open our eyes, including our eye of expanded vision, we
have the opportunity to access something previously out of our range of
thinking, feeling, sensing.
Meditation and spiritual growth are enhanced
with the Pisces New Moon: Transcendence above suffering and limitation!
Spiritual and artistic growth is especially
positive in the Pisces energy as it governs all forms of fluid communication and
higher spiritual connection. The choice to work with more evolved energies and
to evolve our energies through the spiritual cleansing process of meditation, is
a personal one.
Ascension is happening!
Believing in love, abundance and
fulfilment for the earth and its people!
As our hearts reach for the fullness of life which comes from a
mind, body, heart and spirit that resonate to our true selves, without overlays
of other times, other realities, other memories, we know within ourselves that
we will then feel fulfilled in this life.
Sabian
Symbol for the New Moon:
From Cathy Pagano: http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/the-cosmic-story-pisces-new-moon-2014
The
Sabian symbol for the Sun and
Moon at 11* Pisces is: Pilgrims traveling a narrow path,
seeking illumination.
This
image speaks to the power of spiritual ideals, of a hoped-for mystical union.
It speaks of a pure and loving heart, of holding to our spiritual principles.
It opens our ability to see into others’ hearts and souls—giving us
opportunities for spiritual unions with others. Remember, Aphrodite was born
out of the waters and so when you plant seeds this month, plant the seeds of
love and compassion and wisdom. We will need them this year.
2nd March:
Mars retrograde at 3.23 am at
27 degrees 32 Libra AEDT until 20th
May
Enjoy the tea breaks: Yes, we’re still moving,
but slowly. Mars likes full speed ahead, but with a retrograde, he’s slowed down
to take it easy and being in Libra, is encouraged
to enjoy the ride rather than wanting to drive straight through without a scenic
stop, tea/coffee break!
Enjoy the journey: Remember to take the breaks before you
need them!
If you try to rush Mars retrograde in Libra, without enjoying the
beauty and harmony in the world, you’re likely to be slowed down, probably in
your physical body, your physical existence. This is not an energy that likes
to ‘overdo’!!! Forget the express lane!
Balancing our physical bodies:
Healing power of Mars
‘fire’ in our physical body! Reunion with our physical
body!
Mars is our physical energy and drive, our physical body so when it
moves retrograde, we’re doing a few physical adjustments to ourselves. With
Mars in Libra, it’s a balancing, a rebalancing of our physical energies. With
Libra, justice will be served so anything that’s ‘out of whack’, is likely to be
realigned during this period, providing we ‘LISTEN’ to our bodies and
respond.
Balancing our drive and fiery passion:
In partnerships!
With
self and significant others! Slow and steady!
Mars is in a long term transit in Libra and with this retrograde
period, will be there until July. Just a little
backtracking with Mars, to ensure we’ve been on track with the partnership
issues. On the Vespa with your ‘mate’. A Vespa is
about the speed we’ll be travelling, not just in relationships either.
Back to
the past: Re-treading some old grapes!
Getting to a good
vintage!
Retrograde
planets take us back to the past in some way, so remember this if you find
you’re ‘retreading grapes’ you thought had been turned into wine. This may be in the areas of physical health and the
physical body as well in relation to passion and drive to carry you forward.
You may find you need to revisit the actual fire and passion of the past. This
could relate to work, relationships, health...virtually anything. You may be
refired with interest and enthusiasm or find you’ve lost your passion for this
particular interest. However, if something fades, remember that something else
is ignited!
3rd March: Saturn retrograde at 3.19 am AEDT at 23 degrees 19 Scorpio
until 21st July...now where’s that ‘gold’???
Saturn calls us back over ground covered
...back
into the cave of the unconscious!
With Saturn in
Scorpio we’re clearing up unfinished business before Saturn can move on from
Scorpio at Christmas in December.
Into the goldmine!
Seeking the
‘gold’ of our true selves, our authentic selves, our authority!
We need the right timing, the right
energies, to take us into the ‘cave’, the depths of our own particular
goldmine. And now, the time is right as Saturn in Scorpio is helping us find
that elusive power of our wisdom and knowledge, that which has evaded our
searching for so long.
We’re all mining for inner gold:
Scorpio
takes us into the dark to discover the light within!
Just a bit more ‘digging’ and we’re reading to
discover that gold seam, leading us to that inner book of personal knowledge.
Knowledge is power and knowledge about our true selves is invaluable.
Saturn is authority, who we are as our authentic selves!
Saturn’s leading the way and demanding we dig deep to find our
truth about ourselves and to reveal it to ourselves and the world.
Saturn is karma, what we’ve chosen to work with spiritually this
lifetime!
Any unresolved ‘demons’ are likely to be revealed and released
during this time.
Saturn will get us where we need to go if we ‘hold’ to our
authenticity!
Persistence, resolution and determination come in bucketloads to
support us when we hear Saturn’s call to do ‘the work’ we came to do, to be the
fullest expression of our selves in the world.
6th March:
Venus moves into Aquarius at 8.03 am until 6th April.
A
four week window to connect to hopes and dreams!
Art: Rassouli ‘Revealing the Self’
Whoa! Let’s
join in this Aquarian gathering of hearts! Lighten up!
Hearts and minds on same page:
Until 17th March, full
moon in Virgo
Now Venus joins Mercury in the
sign that can give us a little distance from the emotional overwhelm with all
the water sign energy. Make the most of the next 10 days to work with
heart/mind harmony.
Mercury in Aquarius, now moving forward means we have
a good chance of feeling our hearts and minds are aligned and on the same
page!!! Whew!
A heavy ride since early
November 2013:
Venus in Capricorn
Venus has been in Capricorn for four months, an
extended period because of its retrograde journey. During that time, we were
taken deep into the Earth’s heartland and karmic burdens. The dense earth
energies kept us grounded with one foot in front of the other, taking the steps
to deal with our heart felt desires for our earthly existence. At the same time
we were clearing a lot of heavy, unresolved energies from the earth and our
connection to the earth’s history.
Venus in Aquarius: Hearts called to join the cosmic family!
Venus is finally on the move calling us into a
celestial gathering of souls in the cosmos. It’s a positive joy when we connect
without feeling as though everything’s as hard as climbing a mountain and
experiencing the heaviness of heart clearing pain from our physical beings. We
will feel lightened.
Emotional breathing space:
Aquarian
detachment helps our hearts to fly with new hopes and dreams!
Venus in Aquarius will give us breathing space from
all the emotional energy of Pisces washing over us as well as all the planetary
changes this week. It gives us some quirky new ideas on the hopes and dreams
being brought to life under the Pisces New Moon.
6th March:
Jupiter direct at 9.42 pm AEDT at 10 degrees 27
Cancer
...slowly moving on!!!
Where we’ve been since 7th November
2013:
On board the family cruise ship all at sea! In the same
boat!
For the past 4 months, we’ve been
re-discovering and re-experiencing memories, our own, ancestral and planetary.
Cancer rules, the family, home, ancestors, the mothering energy and emotional
security, history, memories, the past.
Memories: Resolving the past!
We’ve been all at sea as well as all being at sea together!
Our experiences over these past months may
well have included memories recovered in dream states (Moon rules Cancer,
dreams, memories) about other times and places which may or
may not have been recognisable to you in this life.
Completing and closing the door with
past energies:
Hopefully you’ve reconnected with some
important knowledge/Jupiter’s strength in these past months, even if just in the
dream state. I know many of us have experienced dreams with people from the
past, dreams which may not be remembered, may not be significant. However,
dreams often close the door on past experiences and allow us to move on to new
people, places, projects and energies.
What’s happening now that Jupiter is turning direct:
Land
ho!
A way off yet, but we’re heading towards the shore!
Jupiter travelling through Cancer until July, is giving us an
expanded and worldly view of home, family, nurturing and emotional security. At
the end of July, Jupiter moves into Leo for a year.
Full steam ahead for Jupiter:
No more retrogrades of Jupiter until early December this
year!
Jupiter retrograde may well have made it more difficult to maintain
an optimistic and positive outlook.
Positivity and Optimism front and centre:
Put on a happy
face little fish!
For us, it means the expansiveness and good fortune of Jupiter can
really take off!

‘Lay down your weary tune’ Mary Black (written by Bob Dylan)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay_Down_Your_Weary_Tune:
Interpretation: ‘Music critic Michael Gray interprets the song as "a
vision of the world, that is, in which nature appears not as a manifestation of
God but as containing God in every aspect."[2] Christian theologian Stephen H. Webb has linked many of
the images of the song to the Bible and calls it "one of the greatest
theological songs since King David composed his psalms."[12]’

That’s it folks
Love and blessings as always to us all as we sail the waters of
change! Remember this week that the most powerful energy is surrendering to the
forces of change, the waves of planetary shift which are taking us to our
‘homeland’, back to our absolutely essential selves. No masks, no barriers, no
resistance to the inevitable marriage with our entitlement this
lifetime...healing, health, wholeness...abundance on all levels of our being!
Nothing less.
helenbea
from the
chair...surrendering to the universal forces of love, light,
abundance!
It’s all about love
