31st March 2018 Full Moon in Libra, 31st Venus enters Taurus

 
Hi everyone!
 
If we thought we were through the planetary changes that came through since the beginning of the year, the past week of the Equinox and post eclipse recovery period we now know that the changes keep on rolling out for us all. 
 
The past week/weekend we were travelling through a couple of challenges with the Aries Sun squaring off to Mars, our fiery masculine warrior energy in Capricorn whilst Venus in Aries squared off to Pluto in Capricorn. 
 
Saturn in Capricorn:  Esteem and respect and how we take our authority in the world!
Interesting that our Australian Cricket Captain and some team members, idolised by the general public, fell off the pedestal when he was tempted to cheat in a test match.  Yet another bastion of tradition, both as a sporting hero and a traditionally masculine sport fell from grace, off the pedestal of Capricorn excellence, respect and esteem. 
 
This is just one incidence that is happening across the world as the greed for power and acclaim tempts power brokers to step over the line of ethical acceptance and the ‘rules of the game’. These next two years with Saturn in Capricorn, the karmic response may well be swift if we are not aligned with divine truth and will.
 
More challenges to the current paradigm:  
A power shift in USA...the voices of the young!
Meanwhile we see the younger generation taking their power and authority in USA as they marched around the country for freedom from the killing disasters from guns and calling for greater gun control by the Federal Government.  We’re going to see more of this around the world over the next couple of years with Saturn in Capricorn as traditions held by those in legitimate authority are challenged by the masses.  

 
What’s been happening this past week:
On the way to the Full Moon in Libra:  A couple of opportunities out of nowhere!
As we head towards the culminating turning point of the Full Moon in Libra, we’ve been given some impetus to keep going and to keep clearing the debris of these past months.  Our pathways may well be littered with ‘dead’ bodies of old energies and emotional baggage dropping off at every shift and turn of this huge experience long term experience.  It sure feels like the never ending story but that’s life on earth.

Two planetary transits hit us at the end of this past week and knocked a whole lot of us for six! With the solar activity it served to flush out toxins in the system:
 
29th March:  Venus met Uranus...CPR time!  
A reboot to the heart...no heart attacks please!
27 degrees Aries
Effective from 28th to 30th March
When planets meet on the same degree it indicates we’re getting a reboot of these two energies working together.  Whenever Uranus is involved it can feel like lightning shocks through the nervous/neuralgic system. And working with the solar winds it sure seemed to trigger a whole stack of headaches. anxiety and jangled nerves for many people.
 

30th March:  Sun in square/challenge to Saturn
Major karmic release of old ties holding us back!
7 degrees Aries/Capricorn
Effective from 29th to 31st March
The Sun in Aries is putting us in touch with our essence, our divine I am self, our spiritual warrior and is calling us to break through the karmic ties to old memories, experiences, traditions, societal benchmarks especially around success.  Anything that has been blocking our growth and expansion as our essential selves has been surfacing for clearance.  The energy of the Sun in Aries will stop at nothing to clear the decks so we can move on.
 
Let’s not forget that Aries rules the head so if you were hit with headaches during the week, nausea, sinus trouble this tied in with the solar activity that was going on with the solar winds which were relentless.
 
Solar activity this past week:  Solar winds directed straight at earth for past 7 days!  
A physical re-calibration!  Whew!
The Solar activity this past week has been about 7 days of solar winds streaming directly at the Earth stirring up the magnetic field.  We haven’t been experiencing magnetic storms or solar flares as so many people have been saying.  The solar wind brings huge light downloads, electrical charges to the earth and to us. The magnetic field is disturbed and disrupted but this is a different kind of energy to what we’ve previously experienced. 
 
I know many people have been experiencing physical illness this past week and we can probably pin it down to any of the above, the two big transits and the solar disturbance pouring light energies into us.  We need to remember that hurting is healing.  I feel sure we’re working with some core ‘wounds’, blockages held in our physical bodies. 
 
31st March:  Venus enters Taurus at 2.14 am AEDT
Grounding the love!
Open hearts to love, sensuality, life on earth!
Until 25th April
Art:  Susan

From intense Aries warrior energy to the arms of Mother Earth:
Well this will be some welcome relief from the fiery intense energy of Aries which has been carrying us forward in a passionate and committed fashion. I know many of us feel as though we’re being driven to keep up to the pace, despite Mercury moving into retrograde.  I know a couple of people who have been engaged passionately in an exercise program to drop some weight with outstanding success.  That’s the nature of Venus in Aries, the fire carrying us on with passion and determination. 
 
Relax, recover, enjoy:  Heart’s opened to the pleasures of life on earth!
Now, time to take some time out to relax the heart and little and take in the beauty of love on earth whether in relation to intimate relationships, pleasurable activities which stimulate the physical senses and the physical body.  Venus in Taurus is all about sensuality, taste, touch, aroma, sound, vision...anything that arouses the heart to pure joy!
 
Venus rules Taurus so is in her element as we connect to the joys of being an earthling.  After this past week, we’ll be welcoming the respite from all the Aries energies.  However, we may not feel the full force of this beneficial and comforting energy until we move through the Full Moon in Libra as there may be a few ‘grrr’ moments as we shift gears in the full moon release.
 
31st March 2018:
Full Moon 10 degrees 45 minutes Libra 11.36 pm AEDT
Balance, Love, peace, justice!

Libran Full Moon:  Release, resolution...divine balance and freedom ahead!
The Libran Full Moon like all Full Moons offers release, resolution, culmination, revelations and the turning point that kicks us on towards the next new moon.  Libra is all about balance and restoring balance from imbalances in our lives.  This relates to karmic issues so the potential at the Full Moon is immense for restoration of karmic balance and justice.

Completion, culmination, endings! 
Karmic resolution on offer!
However, this Full Moon promises more than a kickstart and release, feeling like a finalisation of so much karmic energy.  It may feel a little like a tightening of the noose to help us make that break for the safe place within and the resultant new potentials opening us before us.

Full Moon in Libra opposite Aries Sun:  The desired outcome...win/win!
Essentially, Libra seeks peace and harmony but with the Sun in Aries in opposition at the Full Moon we get the full impression that this is once again coming into our personal light power of the spiritual warrior...not the one with guns and swords!
 
Communication could be volatile:  Count 5 or 10 before ‘spitting it out’!
Time to let go the ‘tug of war’ mentality and embrace the oneness that is the goal of Libra where both ‘parties’, both sides within us come to a harmonious peace.  Mercury is very close to the ‘my way or the highway’ Aries energy and there will be an urge to speak up for ourselves as we claim our worthiness and entitlement to equity.  However, we need to temper any suppressed anger with calm, peace and a true desire to be fully in our spiritual power.
Let’s not forget that our communications manager, Mercury is in Aries...retrograde as well so words could come hot and fast and ill considered. 

Mars/Saturn major players at the Full Moon:  
May make us feel ‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not taking it anymore!’
With Mars and Saturn within a degree of each other in Capricorn squaring off to the Full Moon and the Sun, the message around impulsive reactionary words or actions is hammered home.  We are releasing ourselves from so much at this Full Moon when we do it with calm resolve. We have the opportunity to cut past ties of oppression and suppression arising from the internal or external benchmarks set down by conditioning and authorities in the world. To be truly successful and do it with mastery, we need to be calm, clear and at peace with the process. So,  if you get pulled over for speeding on the roads...don’t argue with the cop!
 
 
Libra rules one on one partnerships of all kinds:  
The call at this full moon is to come together on the same ‘page’ in a partnership balancing act!
Art:  Duy Huynh

There’s such a big build up of energies at this Full Moon and the focus is on our place in the world in terms of ‘partnerships’!When we talk about partnerships in Libra it can be any kind of partnership from marriage, relationship, business partner or partnerships with an employer or an organisation.
 
Balancing the relationship ‘books’ past and present:  
Reflections, projections and owning the truth of who we are!
It can also bring up issues around past relationships where we feel we were cheated, we cheated or any unresolved imbalance in relation to that partnership.  If we feel we didn’t get a ‘fair go’, a ‘fair deal’ this may come forward for resolution for coming to terms with it and making redress within ourselves, whether forgiveness for ourselves or for the ‘other’. Libra offers restoration of peace and harmony.
 
Facing up, fessing up and allowing softness in resolution:  
 Dropping the judgements, comparisons!
We’re all fully loaded with the social conditioning based on criticisms, comparisons and judgements of ourselves and of others which seem to have gone beyond being positive analytical support for our growth and for the growth of others.  How can we build more unconditional love on earth when we cling to these damaging ‘survival of the fittest’ responses and behaviours.  

 

Sabian Symbols for the Full Moon in Libra:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com
 
The Full Moon:  Libra 11
A PROFESSOR PEERING OVER HIS GLASSES AT HIS STUDENTS
This Symbol speaks of the ability, or the necessity, of looking at people as humans and not through the lens of something learned from books. It’s as though the aspects of the rational mind and the intuition require a different kind of focus. Seeing people for who they really are leads to better and kinder relationships, as does dropping judgmental opinions or relying on science or complicated codes of thought for answers. You may need to interrupt your rational mind to realize your intuitive ideas. At times you may feel like the “Professor” and at other times “The Student”. Having the eyes to see each other in the true light of day is the goal. Different perceptions for different situations. Seeing that others get the message. Glasses and lenses. Observing others. Giving advice. Teachers. The ability to ‘read others’.

The Sun:  Aries 11
THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OR THE RULER OF ONE'S COUNTRY
This Symbol shows that it's time to take charge, to expand your base of operations and to show that you have the integrity and the necessary energy to get things done. It's also about bringing a sense of order and discipline into your life - physically, spiritually or emotionally. Find your sense of inner power and make it work for you and don't let others lord it over you. Be in control of your own destiny and individuality. Show that you can be given a position of responsibility and get things done. Developing willpower. Receiving recognition. Discipline of thoughts, emotions and actions. Being in charge of your own life. The democratic process. Being voted in. Being head-honcho.

We’re hanging in, hanging out together even if we feel a little scattered, shattered and separated from ‘the mob’.  Energetically we’re aligned and we’re vibrating like a swarm of bees tuning in and buzzing together.
 
We move through this Full Moon resolution and we’re headed towards the New Moon in Aries, the lunar beginning of our year.  We’re already well underway with our solar year with Aries firing us up and clearing away the debris from our divine essential selves.  With Mercury turning direct on 15th April followed by the New Moon in Aries and then Chiron’s move to Aries, mid April has a big line up with major focus on fiery Aries. 
 
Love and blessings to us all as we move into being more of who we are as we strip away the false images and old conditioned responses.

21st March 2018 Sun moves into Aries/Equinox , 23rd March Mercury retrograde in Aries

 
Hi everyone!
 
We’ve come through the New Moon rebirth canal and we’re still in the lunar month of Pisces which may feel like we’re still in the over the top emotional energies of letting go, despite being in the light of the New Moon. As we were thrown onto the shore with the release from the eclipse it may have felt like we were beached whales gasping for life force!
 
Continued release of the collective emotional energies:  Until New Moon in Aries!
This too shall pass as we continue working with release of the collective memories of Pisces and get a hand from the fire energies of Aries. The New Moon energies are with us for the next lunar month so the ongoing release of the old memories and evolution of emotional consciousness.  The incoming solar month of Aries will be a huge boost for us all!
 
End of the Pisces Solar Month:  Equinox Welcome to the Sun in Aries!
As the Pisces Sun sets across the ocean, we are rising out of the ocean of the collective unconscious, 'the ocean of emotion' rising up to greet the Sun as he prepares to enter Aries on 21st March at 3.15 am AEDT. 

The last day of the Pisces solar month is a huge release day as the Sun is sitting on the last master degree of Pisces. The past 24 hours might have laid you out as the Sun was meeting Chiron at the very end of Pisces...a bit like the sting in the tail.
No wonder our inner dolphin is leaping up to the sky!Today might feel like a 'make or break' energy, feeling like we've got our backs to the wall, fed up with the irrational anxieties, fears, doubts or insecurities. This is time to feel and acknowledge these irrational emotions, reassure ourselves that we're safe and strong as we call in our power and strength spiritually. 

A lot of collective emotion is releasing from the trapped energies within us physically and within humanity, the earth. If it's irrational it's from another reality, time. place...'past lives', alternate realities. We're re-living some old experiences and sending them on to the light!
We got this. Feel it, let it go, love it, reassure it and fill up with love for ourselves, our lives and our commitment to life on earth. It's okay Winnie! We're okay!  

Mercury and Venus travelling slowly thanks to Mercury’s slowdown!
There’s already a strong emphasis on the Aries energies as Mercury and Venus are well ensconced in this sign of fiery rebirth. Uranus has been here for years and is well along his pathway to awakening us all to the higher consciousness of our ‘I am’ ...aka ‘what the hell am I doing here?’ energy. Now the personal planets of our mind and heart are pushing us through the discovery process as we approach a significant solar turning point for the year, the Equinox.
 
With the culmination of the 2 month eclipse cycle we need to remain very open and aware to the insights, messages and clarity now coming in about our soul purpose this lifetime.  We will start feeling more clarity and recognising our Aries ‘essence’. This is what is known as our ‘divine I am’, our higher consciousness of our place on earth and our ‘brief’ this lifetime.  This knowledge is now being opened up to us as we surrender to letting go of the resistances within us, those forces arising from deep within our cell memories. 
 
Mercury, our mind manager has been in his shadow retrograde since 9th March so we know we’ll be covering some of this territory again after he comes out of his retrograde trek in Aries.  Oh no!  I hear you say.
 
21st March:  Sun moves into Aries/Equinox at 3.15 am AEDT
And the sun always rises!
Until 20th April 
Here comes the Aries Sun!  Welcome to the birth of our new astrological year!
The Aries Sun always gives us boost of life force energy after our month of soaking, cleansing, drowning in the Pisces energy of emotional release and spiritual upliftment.  

It may not feel uplifting when we’re going through this cleansing process, this releasing and freeing of stuck energies on the earthly realm but the proof of our release will start manifesting with the arrival of the Aries Sun. 

Aries, ‘I am’ essence of our divine self:  
Are you ready to accept this pure essence?
How much do we need to experience, ‘re-experience’ to get down to this purity of life force? Our willingness to experience emotional pain or suffering during this past month or two has been releasing so much unresolved energy within our being.  Clearly, if we’ve felt this angst in any way, then it has some connection to our blueprint, our ‘brief’ this lifetime. The more we accept the ‘brief’ and get on with it, the sooner we’ll be in clearer energy. 

The next stretch of Sun in Aries:  Stretch and call in divine life force...pure spirit!
So now we’re ready to find more of ourselves in our pure spiritual form which means more life force, more clarity. more focus, more willpower and determination all driven by our willingness to open our hearts to ourselves. 

Stay alert, focussed, aware:  Call in the courage of the light of truth!
We will need to stay alert, focussed and aware of any resistant energies within who want to fight us, fight within us or fight the world.  We can do this if we keep coming back to the heart and love.  Venus still in Aries until the end of the month will be helping us all the way.  She’s on fire!  With LOVE!

What’s in store when we maintain our inner spiritual warrior:  
Passion, joy, excitement and adventure! 
There’s no reason why we cannot get moving in the next month even as Mercury turns retrograde in Aries for 3 weeks. We will be fired and gaining clarity every step of the way as we reclaim past passions and joys, our fire of investigation in this discovery process. 

We’ve got a major planetary shift mid April with Chiron moving into Aries which offers the beginning of a major healing and recovery process for our masculine fire and power!

Welcome the spiritual warrior:  The Sword of Truth aligns us with divine will and strength!
Aries is ruled by the planet Mars, our masculine warrior self, the self we are transforming and evolving within us, the self that has laid down the sword of battle and is willing to carry the light of pure truth! 

With Mercury just turning retrograde in Aries in 2 days time, we will be tested with the mental power of the light sword.  We will be challenged to rework, regroup, review, renew, reaffirm our fiery warrior in the refining of our warrior selves.


This is our affirmation for the next solar month:  
I am divine truth, divine love, divine integrity!  I align with divine will!
When we call in divine truth and integrity we align with divine will which is out greatest protection.  We are loving our masculine warrior selves back to life!  We will never give up as we reaffirm our alignment with all of who we are this lifetime and our willingness to resolve the resistance and fighting with the light of love and truth.  We’re loving ourselves, our masculine energies back into life.  We can trust ourselves to act with integrity.  We are willing to forgive all that needs forgiving in the violet flame of freedom whether within or without. 

The Equinox Doorway:   
In one door and out the other!                                                       
The Equinox is a solar turning point to the year, a traditionally acknowledged time when the balance of time is equal, when day and night are of equal length. It is a time honoured celebration of the change in the light which marks a change in the seasons from Summer to Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and from Winter to Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. 

The doors are open:  We’re coming and going!
Esoterically, the Equinox is regarded as a time when the veil between the worlds is removed, when we can move between the past, present, future, where we return to other realities to release trapped entities from other time zones. 
 
Reclamation, reunion, resolution time:  I love all of me!
We don’t have to be conscious of this.  It’s happening all the time.  However, at these solar doorways, the potential to connect with what is lost to us, to reclaim and/or release these energies is a potent energy for resolution in our lives here and now.

At the Equinox:  Planetary assistance and guidance!
Some strong planetary energies at the Equinox are assisting us with the ‘open door’ policy of the Equinox energies.

Fresh from their reboot of consciousness in the past 2 days: 
Sun and Chiron walking through the Equinox gateway!  Healed wounds!
The Sun is still in very close proximity to Chiron in Pisces as the Equinox door opens so we know that much collective pain and spiritual wounding can be released as we move into the Aries Sun light. Chiron will be joining the Aries Sun in mid April, just a few weeks away.  Prepare to power up!

Mind and Heart energies united in the Aries Sun:  Still travelling in tandem!
Mercury and Venus have just had a reboot of their connection and are still in very close proximity at the Equinox even as Venus starts pulling away from Mercury as she heads to new territory in Taurus at the end of the month.  

Mercury is hardly moving so our minds are slowing too as Mercury prepares to retrograde in two days.  We’re being called to let go of a whole stack of tangled thinking and old thoughtforms and let our hearts lead!

Saturn in Capricorn trine Moon in Taurus:  
Opening the karmic doorways accessing the memory banks! 
8 degrees 
The release of the good old treadmill mentality as we open the doors of the Taurus memory banks and free up the cell memories in the release through the Equinox doorways.

This could feel like a physical release of old restrictions in the body, restrictions that come from other times and places...memories!  Once again, allow the heart to lead with this one.  Venus rules Taurus and she’s powering along in Aries, sign of the divine I am energy.  I am truth and love!


The following site gives dates, times and places around the world for the Equinox:


23rd March: 
Mercury retrograde at 16 degrees 54 Aries  at 11.19 am AEDT
Until 15th April when Mercury stations direct at 4 degrees 47 Aries
Art:  ‘Fiery Dance 2001’ Vladamir Kush
And so we enter the fiery labyrinth of Mercury retrograde in Aries:  A challenge to our ‘action man’! 
This could be somewhat challenging as Mercury, one of our movers and shakers is taken into the fiery realms of Aries who wants nothing more than action!  Mercury would much rather be taking off like rocketman as he travels in Aries instead of dancing around in the flames.  However, the main thing is we keep him actively engaged in the retrograde process.  Give him something to ‘do’ to sort out and all will be fine!

Breathing fire! Being in our dragon power will help us clear the systems and bring clarity!

Mercury is ruler of our mental body, our mind manager and as ruler of our respiratory and nervous systems has been really getting a workover since he moved into Aries.  Well if we’re being strongly impacted this next stretch we need to keep puffing and blowing out all those inner fighting agents arising from the primal pool of consciousness.  Getting on to it before it takes hold is the key.

Maintaining a clear mind and head clearing processes:  
Sword of truth ready!
Aries rules our physical body and our head so we could be forgiven that our mind muddle is all coming from our head!  We know that the mind is within every cell and aspect of our being.
Art:  Sofia Bonat 


It’s a refining process:  Our vehicle is getting a makeover!
Tweaking and polishing some old chestnuts that need to drop off!  As we review, regroup, reconsider, reclaim or discard with the sharp sword of the divine truth of analysis, we will find ourselves in a whole new space.  We don’t have to wait until the end of the retrograde before we get the answers and clarity we need. Trust the heart as she’s leading the way in Aries to the end of the month.                                                   


Shadow Work:  Finding and reclaiming all we are!
Mercury has been travelling in shadow for a week or two so these past couple of weeks will be revisited in some way although will take a new form when he comes around again to this place.

Mercury comes out of retrograde on 15th April and will leave the shadow on 4th May.  So we’ve got a bit of a stretch of re-working and tweaking of our warrior’s journey and reclamation of ourselves in the world.

Hands across the world, around the fire and welcome to this auspicious solar celebration of the Equinox.
We’re on our way to the next full moon in Libra which puts the focus on all one-on-one partnerships of all kinds.  It promises a somewhat divine blessing as Venus, ruler of both Libra and Taurus will be entering Taurus on the same day as the Full Moon.  There’s the promise of karmic resolution with matters of the heart and the potential for resolution for partnership matters. 

Meanwhile, let’s feel the warmth and vigour of Aries fiery Sun and his companions of heart and mind travelling in Aries.  More vim and vigour after the saturation of the watery emotional cleansing of these past months.
Let’s make the most of this equinox doorway and resolve to live in our divine I am essence!  

Love and blessings to us all as we move away from the eclipse doorway dropping off extraneous baggage in the aftermath of the eclipse release process.  We’ve got a couple of aspects this week to test our resolve to come from the heart when Venus our heart ruler squares off to Pluto in Capricorn.  This may be a call to reinforce the pure Aries heart energy.

18th March 2018 New Moon in Pisces, 18th March Mars into Capricorn

Hi everyone!
We’ve come to a major turning point after 2 months of travelling the eclipse passage which kicked off at the end of January with the New Moon in Capricorn.  The Full Moon total lunar eclipse in Leo was 2 weeks after that new moon.  So many of us have been processing that Leo Full Moon eclipse energy as it continues to impact us for a month to 6 months, even 12 months after that Full Moon.  Eclipses work through us for weeks and months afterwards so if you’ve been experiencing a tough time go easy on yourselves. 

Of course the New Moon partial solar eclipse in Aquarius at the end of February/1st March carried forward all that had been set up by that powerful lunar eclipse and it seemed like another whole wave of change carried us forward with the relentless change process. 

Full Moon in Virgo:  Brought in powerful healing energies physically and spiritually!
We’ve just passed through the Full Moon in Virgo which brought in some powerful healing and cleansing energies for our spiritual/physical bodies and the wounds we’ve brought in to heal this lifetime.  All manner of aches and pains may surface in Virgo energies and may just as mysteriously disappear as we tend to our vibrational clearance of our spiritual beings.

In the last days of the Pisces Sun:  Birthing out of the eclipse passage with Pisces New Moon!
So we’re preparing to birth out of this eclipse passage with the New Moon in Pisces. Now we need to realise that Pisces is the last sign of the astrological year, the sign where we can sink or fly out of the emotional entrapment of past energies and into the light of spiritual transcendence.  It’s called flying above despair and trouble with a faith and hope born of belief in the creative life force within us.

New moon in Pisces connecting closely to Chiron:  Big healing rebirth!  Call it in!
This Pisces New Moon is intimately connected to Chiron, ruler of Virgo so we know that this one promises a rebirth for ‘the collective unconscious’, the domain of Pisces. It’s a powerful healing moon that promises a rebirth for us all. 
Chiron finishing off his Piscean stint until mid April:  Clearing unfinished business!
A month after this new moon Chiron will be moving out his 7 year passage in Pisces to take us into Aries, the sign of the masculine fire and drive warrior energy.  It’s a short stint until September when he backtracks into Pisces until February next year.  Then he continues on his way in Aries for the next 7 years. 
Chiron in Aries:  Firing up the cell memories!
This brings a significant change to the focus for us all with some of us experiencing this more directly than others, depending on our natal blueprint. However, we’ll all be healing the inner masculine energies of fire, drive and action re-empowering ourselves in a whole new way. It will bring a fiery focus rather than a watery focus.  Spiritual healing with fire! 

14th March:  Mars squares Chiron...the warrior is laid to rest!
28 degrees Sagittarius/Pisces
Effective from 13th to 16th March
You may be experiencing a big physical/emotional/clearance during this week as Mars connects with galactic energies connected with the Galactic Centre at 27 degrees Sagittarius.  Whenever we have planets connecting to galactic energies, outer planets, we know that we’re getting a ‘cosmic’ shift to higher consciousness.

Mars is our masculine warrior energy and in Sagittarius he’s the crusader.  We’re in the process of healing huge collective wounds related to war, fighting and the history of this planet. It’s time to release the anger, fear, guilt, blame, shame and suffering.  We are one!


17th March:  Mars goes out of bounds at 29 degrees 30 Sagittarius
Until 7th April returns at 11 degrees 53 Capricorn
Mars, our masculine warrior is off an a quest of new consciousness.  He’s travelling in a new landscape of Capricorn energy in search of a higher expression of himself in the earthly dimension.  He needs to leave the known world and be opened up to vistas of new imaginings, new possibilities for attaining the highest expression of himself as an earthly being. 

He is our warrior in search and reclamation of himself.  How many esoteric mountains will he discover in this exploratory stretch of time setting out just before the New Moon in Pisces births and just at the very end of this eclipse portal of change.  He’s gathering new information not just for our fire and drive but for the evolving consciousness of our physical bodies.  Mars is the ruler of our physical body. 

Mars is moving into Capricorn just a few hours after the New Moon so his journey will be like the quest for the ring in ‘Lord of the Rings’, a mystical exploration through the earthly realm of Capricorn which promises discovery, insight and resolution of karmic issues, stories which we’re carrying in our physical bodies.  

18th March 2018:
New Moon 26 degrees 53 minutes Pisces at 12.11 am AEDT
Art:  Rassouli ‘Eternal Quest’ 

A new dawn, a new day!  Out of the eclipse birth canal and into the light!
Yes it’s a New Moon and this image looks like a Full Moon yet it seems to encapsulate the past two months and the nature of the eclipse passage which has been nothing less than relentlessly disturbing for so many of us. 

We’ve been travelling in the eclipse ‘time tunnel’ of change where we’ve been tossed about in the cosmic washing machine!  We’ve been throwing off old energies, purifying the cells and esoteric memory banks.  And now we’re coming out of the process!


A collective sigh of relief with this one!  We’re all in this together birthing! Whew!
Our collective submarine is getting ready to come out of the ocean depths so we can get some fresh air.  The ‘wonderland’ of the alternate realities we’ve experienced in these past 2 months has not necessarily been a joy ride but has nevertheless been instrumental in bringing to light those ‘Achilles’ heel memories which have been tripping us up for too long. Now, they’re out in the light of our consciousness and their ‘wounds’ are in resolution.

Birthing spiritual transcendence:
As you can see from this line up of planets we are still very much working with the watery emotional energies of major transformation, physical clearing of the wounds of the collective unconscious and the elevating of emotional consciousness. 

It’s emotional, physical and profoundly spiritual!  Forgiveness, mercy and compassion!
Jupiter in Scorpio is in a strong flowing connection with the New Moon/Sun and Chiron so we know that this new moon ‘rebirth’ is one of profound and deep healing. 

Feel the emotions, feel the pain and be released!
With Chiron as a key player, we know our focus is on release of old ‘wounds’ from the physical body.  These are wounds held within the collective unconscious, within every one of us, ancient wounds which relate to the history of humanity on earth.  With Jupiter in Scorpio, we know that the wounds relating to sexuality and power, big money and the abuse of positions of power are up for a healing rebirth.  It’s another step in this long journey.

Intense healing of the masculine warrior energy:
No wonder we’re doing intensive release this week with the masculine warrior energy of Mars in Sagittarius in square/challenge to Chiron right up to the New Moon.  We’re all carrying the pain, heartache, suffering, guilt, anger, shame, blame and oppression from the history of fighting and war on this planet.  The oppressors and oppressed are all in the same ‘game’ and we need to free ourselves from both those energies through forgiveness, mercy and release of the pain in our bodies.


Here come the fire energies making a show at this New Moon!  Firing mind, body, heart, spirit!
Mercury  14 degrees Aries
Venus    13 degrees Aries
North Node of the Moon   14 degrees Leo
Uranus   26 degrees Aries
Mars      29 degrees Sagittarius

Mind and heart dancing in tandem in the fire of Aries!
Mercury  14 degrees Aries
Venus    13 degrees Aries

Mind and heart on the same page, the same wavelength taking us through the New Moon rebirth and leading the way towards the Equinox entry of the Sun into Aries.
They’re fired, aligned and birthing the new way forwards emotionally and mentally!

North Node of the Moon in Leo in trine/flowing with Mercury and Venus!  We’re all on the same planetary bus, one heart, one mind!
                                                                      
NN 14 degrees Leo
The NN our Soul Star and our planetary direction at this time is linking in with mind and heart energy of Mercury and Venus in Aries.  This is a blessed aspect opening every one of us up to the higher planetary focus at this time which is in Leo.

Our collective bus is dropping off all the old baggage which is weighing us down and we’re headed into the light of the Aries Sun!  Out of the yellow submarine and into the big yellow bus!  All aboard!

Mars in Sagittarius in trine/flowing with Uranus in Aries:  Firing up the Equinox bonfire!
Mars 29 degrees Sagittarius
Uranus 26 degrees Aries

Releasing in the physical body of our divine essence, ‘I am’ presence!
It’s fiery and physical with lightning strikes through the mind, body and spirit. Mars rules the head and Uranus the neuralgic system so be aware and focussed so impulsive drives don’t trip us up.  A physical upgrade! 


Mars in Sagittarius squaring off to the New Moon: 
A challenge and an opportunity to rebirth Mars, our masculine warrior crusader!
29 degrees Sagittarius
Mars is ruler of our physical body so the call here is to elevate our physical bodies within the truth of the Sagittarian energy.  Divine truth be in me now!
Whatever is not our divine truth this lifetime needs to be released so we can be here and now in our current presence.  Chances are much has been released in the approach of the New Moon when Mars squared/challenged Chiron on 14th March. 



Earth energies at the New Moon:
Pluto 20 degrees Capricorn: 
Within touching distance of Jupiter in Scorpio...a ‘friendly’ sextile that offers more healing resolution of buried karmic tensions
Saturn 7 degrees Capricorn: 
Saturn is keeping on track after his square off to Venus in the last few days which guaranteed a big karmic release of painful heart energies which have been blocking the full light of our divine authority as a being of love.



Sabian Symbols for the New Moon in Pisces:  From Lynda Hill www.sabiansymbols.com


Sabian Symbol for the New Moon and Sun:  Pisces 27
A HARVEST MOON ILLUMINATES THE SKY
This shows recognizing the riches in one’s life, the beauty and wonder of life, to have a sense of achievement and of a job well done. Along with a wonderful ability to be able to see and vision things, this Symbol often brings a satisfying sense of abundance; it’s a time of ‘Harvest’, the sky is clear and conditions are perfect. The “Harvest Moon” is a positive sign, with high energy as it's a time of fertility, abundance and “Illumination”. Reap the benefits of the work that's been done; it takes a while to bring in the harvest. Take some time out to celebrate and connect with family and loved ones. Situations ripe and full of fruition. Celebrating what you have. Expanded perspective. Making the most of what's been achieved. Companion planting. The beauty of the moon.

Sabian symbol for Chiron:  Pisces 29
LIGHT BREAKING INTO MANY COLORS AS IT PASSES THROUGH A PRISM
This shows analyzing things, considering and drawing conclusions from available data and being perceptive of colors, light refraction or reflection, auras and light. You probably have the ability to break situations down into the simplest components in order to see the full picture. This can and often does lead to a greater understanding of the relationship between the whole and the many parts. Just be careful not to overanalyze, thereby losing the joy that's inherent in the simplicities of life. Taking a single vision and turning it into many individual streams can be rewarding, but it can also confuse and distract. Spectrum analysis. Color and crystal healing. Rainbows. Light refraction. Considering many facets of a situation. Optics. Sight. Telescopes. Microscopes. Auras. Copying ideas.


18th March:  Mars moves into Capricorn at 3.40 am AEDT
Stretch, reach and find the foothold!
Until 17th May

Mars has been travelling in Sagittarius:  We’ve been fired with enforced eclipse containment!

Mars has been travelling in Sagittarius keeping us going despite all the collective emotional energies which has been our landscape for some weeks. As mentioned above, Sagittarius is a cosmic and galactic centre point which guarantees energies will be evolved, cleared and uplifted somehow or other.  That’s what the ruler of our physical body has been doing these past few weeks. Frustrating maybe?

Mars in Capricorn:  Stimulated by the need to be active and to ground all the incoming fire energy!
So now our body, fire and drive find the challenges of earthy ambitious Capricorn can be just what our warrior self needs...a little bit of stretch spiritually whilst reaching for a higher foothold. It might not look too safe in this picture but the Capricorn goat is sure footed and possesses the mastery of climbing that guarantees safe passage to safety and/or fresh pastures.

More physical drive to throw off karmic overlays of past ghosts of the masculine memory banks!
Mars thrives on physical activity and in Capricorn he’ll appreciate any earthy, grounding activity that puts him in a good mood and a good position for the attainment of success in the material world.  Whatever that means to you is relevant at this time. Just making a start on putting something into action will help clear the eclipse lethargy.

Karmic resolution as we start taking some new steps forward:  Grounding the vision, step by step!
Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, always brings up karmic resolution in this lifetime so these next few weeks will find us taking action where there has previously been some stumbling block.  Even with Mercury turning retrograde in a few days, we’ll still find the capacity to take those steps to put in place those building blocks for establishing ourselves in the material world.  In fact Mercury retrograde in Aries will assist us in containing our fire and drive in achievable ways which align with our divine selves.

We’re safe:  Capricorn is a safe house for us all! Capricorn is a cautious sign so there is no fear of us tripping ourselves up providing we trust ourselves, our focus, our vision and believe we are moving forwards. We may be holding a big vision but we need to be slow, steady and focussed for the best outcome.

Hugs all around!  Prepare for deliverance!
In the 3 days before the New Moon we’re in what’s known as ‘the dark of the moon’.  So, the final clearance presents as an opportunity to kick over the traces of the past month AND the whole 2 month eclipse passage. A whole lot of us may be feeling like beached whales but this final stretch can clear mammoth amounts of collective ‘clag’. 
When I’ve got my back to the wall, laid flat out, gasping for air and feeling like checking out of planet earth, I take heart from knowing I am part of a huge collective enterprise of relatively unseen forces, human beings across the planet who are maintaining faith in building a better world and a more evolved humanity.  We don’t have to know about this concept of new consciousness as we can observe so many of our counterparts doing what they can in their lives to bring greater love, joy and happiness to themselves, families, friends and colleagues.

Although we’re still in wash of Piscean energies at the New Moon, the taste of fire is wafting in and preparing us for our yearly rebirth at the Equinox, when the Sun enters Aries, the first sign of our astrological calendar. Let’s get ready to dance around the heat of the bonfire with hearts and hands joined in celebration of deliverance from an extreme planetary and cosmic ‘makeover’!  Just a reminder that Mercury is slowing down as we near the Equinox, preparing to turn retrograde on 23rd.  Tricky days for mix ups, communication/travel glitches usually a day either side of 23rd and on day itself.


Love and blessings
