Hi everyone!
As we reach
the final day of the Sun in Pisces, we’re feeling the release of the watery
emotional energies of the past drain away as the Aries Sun starts shining
through the clouds of confusion of these past weeks.
Ongoing
emotional and spiritual healing and clearing in water:
We still
have Mercury/mind and Venus/heart travelling through Pisces and of course
Neptune and Chiron are in Pisces for the long haul. So there’s plenty of ocean
swimming, floating, frolicking and diving going on with our hearts and minds.
Incoming
building of fire energies:
However,
Mercury is just about to move into fiery Aries just 2 days after the Sun enters
Aries. Mars is already in fiery Sagittarius so this is interesting that our two
movers and shakers, Mercury and Mars will be in fire energy, the energy which
fires our spirit and passion, which ignites our enthusiasm and inspires action.
Look out everyone!
What’s happening in the eclipse portal:
Significant planetary shifting within
the eclipse vortex:
A series of astrological transits this week has
been shifting our minds and hearts in new directions. We don't necessarily know
those new directions just yet.
We're
in the throes of a major change process of the eclipses turning us upside down
as we move towards the Equinox on Sunday 20th when the Sun moves into Aries.
This will be followed by a full moon in Libra 3 days later, bringing
illumination, harmony and balance to our shifting inner
consciousness. Whew!
Closing a chapter from
December 2007 and early 2008:
The transit of Jupiter and
Pluto in trine/harmony from 10th through to the 24th is a significant change
agent in the whole process. This transit came to an exact meeting on Thursday
morning AEDT but will continue to impact us through to the 24th, the day after
the Full Moon Eclipse.
From last week:
'On Wednesday, Jupiter and
Pluto create a manifestation (trine) with a HUGE connection to events in
2007/2008 when these two planets conjoined and began this cycle. This is
fascinating because Mercury then comes together with Chiron on Thurs 3/17, at 22
Pisces, a master number. Our minds are about to open wide to the divine
perfection and wholeness linked to those events from 7 or 8 years ago, revealing
the intelligence and mastery of our higher consciousness that has been
navigating and orchestrating this entire journey. This is the spark of a major
paradigm shift that’s just now beginning to be fully realized within our newly
expanded operating system, and it’s happening Now, inside this wormhole.'
20th March: Sun moves into Aries at 3.30 pm AEDT/The March equinox...a
new year!? Yes!
Until 20th April
The Equinox is a seasonal turning point in our
year and traditionally regarded as the astrologically beginning of our year.
Aries is the first sign in the zodiac.
Don’t you
just love how astrology and the seasonal shifts give us so many markers of
beginnings and endings?
Identity
and expression of desires:
Aries is
all fire and drive, energy and individual expression, in divine energies Aries
is the ‘I am’ presence. This is living as our authentic self. our identity an
emanation of the most evolved form. It also gives us life force in the
body!
The paradigm shift: The way of the
peaceful warrior emerges!
Aries is concerned with identity, leadership
and the masculine warrior energy and as we all know we’ve been engrossed in a
long term process of evolving that old masculine war like energy from forceful
ways to utilising the inner strength of the spiritual warrior. This upcoming
month is the testing of our new model of being.
Divine partnership: All of
me!
What kind of vehicle is carrying you forward with the
fire and drive of the Aries energy which has absolute faith in the power of
love, self and place in the world?
Past roads and future potentials:
The sky’s the limit!
The misalignments which have taken us down
false routes led by old energies of ‘might is right’ are now melting away in so
many of us. As we see this in ourselves, our new operating systems kick into
gear, ignited by a new sense of purpose and the spirit of love and compassion,
we’re observing the resistant forces in the world rising up hopefully in a last
ditch effort to reassert their dominance. This is most obvious in war,
politics, industry and religion but without doubt happening within our own
psyche and in our relationships with others.
Courage, bravery and the drive to be
daring: Restoring physical health and fitness!
Aries energy is just what we’re needing to fire
the energy centres, to restore our confidence in ourselves and in our physical
life on earth. For those who have been dealing with physical health challenges,
the fire of Aries offers us the will to engage more fully in restoring physical
wellness whether through physical exercise, diet, positive self-talk or faith in
our divine spirit! This is an energising period which can kick start our
depleted energy systems.
We’re rebooting physically!
20th March: The
Equinox...a time of balance, balancing!
On
the equinox, night and day are nearly exactly the same length – 12 hours – all
over the world. This is the reason it's called an “equinox”, derived from Latin,
meaning "equal night". However, in reality equinoxes
don't have exactly 12 hours of daylight
22nd March: Mercury moves into Aries at 11.19 am AEDT
Mentally
fired!
Until
6th April
Art Alessandra Placucci
2 weeks to stretch the mind and test our new
wheels!
Give
Mercury a bit of fire power and he’s off! Out of the ocean and flying down the
open road! We have just 2 weeks to experience some fiery spirit clearing the
neural pathways and bring some insight and clarity as well as firepower!
We’ve
been wading in deep waters clearing the clogged ’drains’!
Our mind
has been immersed in the Pisces ocean of the collective unconscious getting a
huge emotional cleansing! Not the happiest place for our mental power! The
confusion of the eclipse passage has been compounding the muddled thinking.
Communication,
Travel and Commerce: Expect change and movement!
Mercury
rules communication, travel and commerce so we can expect some movement in one
or all of these areas. As the networker, Mercury brings together bits and
pieces of information from data gathering excursions into the social milieu.
It’s time to put some pieces of the jigsaw together.
Watch
your words: Practice run for evolution of our masculine
energies!
Stay aware
of your communication and the way you speak with others during this time. It’s
great to be boss of our own lives but to rein in the temptation to lord it over
others! Watch for impatience, irritation, frustration and power plays! It’s our
call to transcend bickering and argumentative energies. Let it be!
Full
Moon energies colouring our responses: Watch emotions...uplift!
Let’s just
remember that the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs within 24 hours of Mercury
moving into Aries which indicates we will be dealing with illusions and
subconscious energies emerging from the memory banks. The fact that Mercury
will be in very close proximity to the Sun in Aries at the Full Moon means we
will be getting messages about who we are and our desires.
23rd March: Full Moon in Libra at 11.00 pm AEDT at 3 degrees 17 Libra
Partial lunar eclipse
Libra Moon
opposite the Aries Sun: A balancing act between ‘we’ and
‘me’!
All Full
Moons are about the balancing act between our ‘inner’ moon life of the
unconscious, subconscious, the past, memories, emotions and the ‘outer’ life
expression of the Sun, the energy which takes us into the physical world.
Themes for this Full Moon: Balance, justice, harmony and
love...restoration!
Libra: Let’s be partners for a
win/win!
All dual signs highlight the balancing act in a
variety of ways. The Libra/Aries continuum brings the themes of ‘I and ‘We’
into focus and the Libran Full Moon puts the emphasis on balance, justice,
harmony and love.
Aries wants to say ‘my way or the highway’ and Libra
says ‘Let’s work together for a win/win’. It’s working with balancing both
these energies we’ll gain the most out of this full moon for our own growth.
As
we release the detritus of confusion we gain clarity and insight: The bubble
bursts!
At the Full Moon we are offered insights,
understanding which have been hidden from our conscious minds and hearts.
During the Full Moon period when it is most active, 3 days before and after the
moon comes to its fullness can be a time of confusion and illusion as everything
seems to rise up like a fountain of information. The clarity comes as we sift
through all those insights but we can be assured that within all that confusion
are ‘diamonds’ which offer inspiration and signpost new directions.
Deep introspection brings answers
and resolution: Hold off on making decisions until the Full Moon impact wears
off...after about 3 days!
Full Moons always offer new insights from within,
enlightening the depth of our being and releasing long held memories and threads
from other times and places. It is a time calling for deep introspection which
if observed can bring deep release of ties of resistance held within.
In Libra,
as mentioned above, the key is justice and restoration of balance and within
that, is the karmic justice which is bringing all of us into a more harmonious
and loving state of being.
We just need to remember to resist trying to
come any hard and fast conclusions or make big decisions around the Full Moon as
all is not clear during this time.
Lending
weight to the Libran Full Moon:
Super Galactic Centre at 2 degrees Libra...up
close and personal to the Full Moon!
Notice whenever we have a galactic energy
interacting with our solar system that we are being ‘stretched’ in
consciousness, expanded to encompass a wider perspective beyond our solar system
consciousness. The further out from the centre of our worlds, the greater the
‘stretch’ in growth. The outer galactic forces are supporting the Libran Full
Moon and lending weight to the significance of its themes of justice, peace,
balance, harmony and ...LOVE!
SUPER GALACTIC CENTER (SGC) Libra 2 degrees 03
The
heart of the Super Galaxy. The seat of the Super Galactic Source emitting
wisdom: a stream of super-consciousness.
Feminine/Masculine
balancing act:
The forces support our release from the duality and polarisation
which have kept us in conflict!
Libra is ruled by Venus and Aries is ruled by
Mars. Here we have a clear message about the balancing of the
feminine/masculine energies along with the self-oriented Aries against the
Libran partnership theme. We need both energies to be working together.
The theme of polarisation through duality which
has kept us in conflict has a chance to be resolved, harmonised and brought into
oneness and balance. The conflict within, with others as well as between groups,
ideologies, nations, religions etc. can only be resolved when we honour and
respect ourselves and others, seeking the harmonising force that is love.
Libra
rules one-on-one partnerships of all kinds:
Marriage, business, close
friendships and family members!
Libra carries the energy of committed
loving partnerships joined in the spirit of love, harmony, equity and mutual
respect. It’s what we all look for in our close relationships but is sometimes
somewhat lacking when we are still clearing the old energies which keep us from
truly experiencing love in all its fullness.
The mirroring of ourselves in
others is highlighted by the Libran energy, reflecting back to us our ‘shadow’
side, the part of us which we have neglected, disowned or ignored. It’s not all
a negative experience as it’s come to be seen. Sometimes we can only accept the
best of ourselves when we admire this in others.
This Full Moon will give us the opportunity
to see ourselves with truth and love. Let’s accept the beauty of our
humanity!
Lending
weight to the Aries Sun: Mercury at 2 degrees Aries...messages of fire and
spirit to activate! Ignition!
Mercury is our communicator and is fired with
Aries energy whispering in the ear of the Aries Sun to get moving...anywhere.
There’s a likelihood that we’ll all want to jump up and start taking physical
action to redress imbalances in our world. The Aries energy of the Sun is ‘Get
out there and do....something! Anything!’
The key
thing to remember is that big decision making is being tempered by the Full Moon
energies. However, this energy is mind and the spirit of ourselves in the world
being fired for action. We’re being ignited mentally, our minds filled with the
fire that gets things moving with our mental powers. Don’t be surprised if the
head feels like bursting as Aries rules the head.
Lending
weight to the Aries Sun: Mars 5 degrees Sagittarius in trine to Sun and Mercury
in Aries
Mars, our other mover shaker, is lending his
weight to the fire energies of the Sun and Mercury. He’s in the fiery sign of
Sagittarius clearing up all manner of karmic residue in our physical bodies and
clearing our physical being for renewed health and vigour.
Ready,
set, go!
Mars
connection with the Sun and Mercury in Aries is just what the doctor ordered for
us to have a rush of cleansing heat in minds and bodies preparing us for
re-entry back onto planet earth. With Mars in Sagittarius wanting to hit the
open road and Mercury and the Sun all for kickstarting the action, there’s a
real sense of impulsive action, rebellious breakout and fearless stepping onto
new pathways. We might not know the exact nature of the new pathway but we’re
feeling we’re ready to break through into new territory!
Other
planetary energies at the Full Moon:
From 16th March to 2nd April:
Jupiter in Virgo square Saturn in
Sagittarius 16 degrees
Exact meeting at the Full Moon!
These two big ‘social’ planets
meeting in a challenge like this is offering us the opportunity to clear,
resolve and heal karmic threads and DNA! The fact that they’re coming to
an exact meeting on the day the moon comes to fullness means there is a huge
potential to drop off a whole lot of old burdens from the memory banks.
Issues related to our place in
the world, authority structures such as governments, big institutions and
business may well arise during this period of time and are likely to come to a
head, a completion with the Full Moon. This is a true blessing as
something that’s been weighing heavily on you as an individual as well as on
society is reaching some kind of closure.
We’re dropping the baggage so
we can get on with building new ‘structures’ in our lives based on the
foundation of our authentic self. The Full Moon is a releasing time from
the memory banks. Make the most of it.
If ever there was a time for
the baggage to go, this is it!
23rd March: Full Moon Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
A grey curtain covering the
moon!
Lunar eclipses bring inner changes, subconscious
releases and revelations. Eclipses reveal something that has been hidden from
ourselves as well as others. Just as the moon is hidden during an eclipse, even
partially and then fully revealed in all its full moon splendour, so a doorway
is opened in our psyche, something brought forth that was buried deep within us.
A
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:
In
a penumbral lunar eclipse,
only the more diffuse outer shadow of Earth falls on the moon’s face. This third
kind of lunar eclipse is much more subtle, and much more difficult to observe,
than either a total or partial eclipse of the moon. There is never a dark bite
taken out of the moon, as in a partial eclipse. The eclipse never progresses to
reach the dramatic minutes of totality. At best, at mid-eclipse, very observant
people will notice a dark shading on the moon’s face. Others will look and
notice nothing at all. From: http://earthsky.org/space/what-is-a-penumbral-eclipse-of-the-moon

A GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE SIT IN SPIRITUAL
COMMUNION AROUND A CAMPFIRE
This Symbol implies the desire or need to be
with others who share similar feelings, aspirations, goals and beliefs. There is
a common focus here amongst the “Group” that opens up to creative and enlivening
possibilities. There may be the feeling of being ‘out there’, in the
‘wilderness’, and you may be in some way, whether you’re miles from anywhere or
you’ve been brought together by something very unique or unusual. It may be
important to keep in mind that you don’t have to go alone; there is a “Group” of
people who share the same beliefs and concerns. Gathering with them will lift
your spirits. The “Campfire” can be anything that unites people in a common
cause. Material concerns left behind. Pioneering. Unity. Fellowship. Campfires.
Sweat lodges. Having a common focus, interest, hobby or perspective, etc. The
Internet.
The Caution: Being too dependent on others. Feeling left
out and having to fend for one's self. Rejecting fellowship because of feeling
lost or alone. Obsession with objectives.

TWO LOVERS
ARE STROLLING THROUGH A SECLUDED WALK
This Symbol speaks of spending time with a lover
or loved ones, or, it can show issues of loneliness; wondering where the 'other'
is. Being with someone you love and enjoying their presence without rush or
pressure is likely to be important, or perhaps that's what you're needing right
now. Perhaps it's about being ok just being with that part of you that you never
seem to have much time for. One should be able to escape the realities of the
world and touch the deeper feelings of the heart, without fear of being excluded
or criticized. Try to find some time for quiet romance and balance. Walking
love's path. Secret love affairs. Being undisturbed. Being happy alone or
wondering where the 'other' is. The need for seclusion, peace and privacy.
Issues of being alone versus loneliness.
The Caution: Being 'selfish'.
Keeping one's partner to yourself. Jealousy when others are around. Being afraid
to commit to relationship. Feeling left out and uninvited.
25th March: Saturn stations retrograde until
August
Just a
heads up that this is happening just 2 days after the Full Moon eclipse whilst
we’re still in the glow of that Full Moon. Turning our life around in terms of
karmic burdens and taking our spiritual authority in the world is significant.
With Saturn in Sagittarius we’re in the process of clearing karmic threads which
are not of our personal truth this lifetime. I will send out a separate update
on this after the full moon at the end of the week.

Upcoming Dates:
6th
April: Venus moves into Aries
6th
April: Mercury moves into Taurus
7th
April: New Moon in Aries
That’s it everyone! Let’s
all blow kisses filled with unconditional love out to the world!
Love to us
all as we welcome this incredible opportunity to bring balance and harmony into
our lives at a deeper level than we have previously been able to access. The
karmic release will manifest as we proceed to the New Moon in Aries when we’ll
be released from the 4 week eclipse energy. That’s just 2 weeks away. The next
2 weeks we’ll be closing doors, completing and ‘mopping up’ after the Full Moon
revelations.
Yes, doors
are closing and new ones are opening as the Aries Sun along with Mercury and
Mars carry us forward with the fire of divine spirit reignited in our hearts and
minds.
Love and
blessings
