Hi everyone!
 
It may feel like nothing’s happening in our personal physical landscape as we move through the eclipse energies where everything’s shifting energetically within us on every level of our being. mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
 
Feeling physically becalmed whilst clearing the impediments:
Physically we may be feeling becalmed with no wind to carry us on  but be assured that the energies within us are clearing away the spiritual barnacles which have been weighing us down and the kelp which has been wrapped around our rudder. When our energies are once again aligned and working together, we’ll be moving on under full sails and a stiff breeze!
 
Current shocks releasing shocks and traumas in memory banks:
We’ve got enough shocks and past traumas emerging from our bodies to deal with as Uranus, Saturn, Mercury and Mars work together to release those fragmented aspects of our memory banks.  We are restoring what needs restoring and releasing what needs releasing. 
 
Ascension energies:  Transcendence through reconnection and renewal!
This is the nature of what people call ‘ascension’, judgement day or some similar term.  It involves resolution of our essential being, our true authentic selves without the filters and overlays picked up along the way, whilst reconnecting with fragmented parts of our beings, bits of us which split off in shock and trauma from other times and places. 
 

Recovery of shocked and traumatised childhood memories:

We need to remember that the sensitivity of the child can indicate that what we as adults see as a minor upset can be experienced as a major trauma in a child’s experience.  How often have we tried or heard other adults try to make light of an experience which is emotionally, mentally or physically disturbing to a child.  It’s all with good intention but with more often than not an adult failure to recognise the severity of the impact.
 
We carry buried emotional memories from this and other lifetime:
Now we were all children and we are all dealing with these seemingly minor disturbances and impacts on our inner child/children.  In this lifetime we may have experienced traumas at many different ages which are embedded in our bodies, buried by the child’s inability to process emotions emanating from that time.
 
How do we retrieve these lost fragments?  
Take some time to meditate even for a few minutes before doing this.
One of the best methods I was given many years ago was holding the image of walking down a hallway with many closed doors, opening any door which calls us to do so and more than likely finding a lost ‘child’ or aspect of ourselves, possibly frightened, in tears or grief, lonely...whatever.  We then reassure the child, pick it up, hold it and say comforting words like ‘You’ll never have to feel this way again.  I am here and will be looking after you and listening to how you feel.  I love you.’
Then give the child the choice of dressing in different clothes, having their choice of food, play and fun. 
 
Be open to the experience as you may well be claiming from ‘past’ lives/other realities, even adult aspects.
 
 
26th February:  Mercury enters Pisces at 10.07 am AEDT
Bringing some wind to our sails!
Until 14th March
Mercury brings some air and movement to our sails:
Mercury moves into Pisces just a few hours after the moon moves out of a void period and into the Pisces lunar energies, readying for the New Moon line-up about 15 hours later. 
 
Things will start moving along with a boost from Mercury:
Mercury rules communication, travel, commerce and networking. As one of our primary planetary movers and shakers (along with Mars), we are going to feel a decided shift in any or all of the above mentioned areas of activity.
 
Mercury as ruler of our mental body and mind energy:  Spiritual shift mentally!
As ruler of our mind energy and mental body, Mercury in Pisces offers us the window of opportunity to view the world through new eyes, new vision and an elevated perception of our spiritual place in the world.
 
Our focus and dedication on shifting our thinking suddenly pays off!
As we have been straddling the split worlds of lower and higher consciousness for quite some time, we’re likely to find a sudden uplift that seemingly comes from nowhere.  It’s going to be easier to elevate the thinking to a more evolved consciousness!
 
Mercury as a player at the New Moon in Pisces:
Mercury’s moving into position so he’ll be within touching distance of the New Moon in Pisces.  He’ll be whispering messages from higher consciousness as we open our minds to the higher path, the path of divine upliftment.  
 
Mercury working with the evolving consciousness of the planet at this time:  
A further clearance of the past mental constructs and mindsets!

At the New Moon, Mercury will be at 1 degree Pisces, just 2 degrees away from the South Node of the Moon (the past consciousness) and opposite the North Node of the Moon at 3 degrees Virgo...the new consciousness of the planet.
 
We’re all ‘headed in the right direction for our loving and affection’:
As we clear away the past mental constructs, we are bringing in a huge healing through the North Node portal in Virgo (sign of the healer).  We’re bringing our minds into peace and healing from the conflicts, fighting and battles of the planet’s history.  It’s another doorway and uplift to help us on our way.
 
27th February:  
New Moon in Pisces at 8 degrees 12 Pisces at 1.58 am AEDT
Solar annular eclipse
From space trekker to ocean explorer: 
As we emerge from the past weeks of eclipse energy which was really triggered by the New Moon in Aquarius a month ago, we may feel like breathing a sigh of relief at coming into land from the space trekking Aquarian energies which have been such a dominant theme in the past lunar month. 
 
Pisces New Moon:  A culminating month for our astrological year!

Our ancient vessel is setting sail beneath the new moon, coming out of the mists of time and of history, creaking a little with the sounds of its weathered timbers rolling with the waters and winds.  It’s a gentle ocean which is birthing us into the New lunar month of Pisces.
 
Solar eclipse bringing in the changes physically:  
For next month to 6 months!
Not a lot of time to catch our breath as our ship is departing on the immense oceans of the Piscean collective unconscious.  It’s now we’re going to start getting the insights and sudden shifts coming into our physical reality.  That’s the nature of a solar eclipse...the physical manifestation and changes which have been swirling around us, keeping us up in the air, lost in space so to speak.
 
Choosing our vessel of consciousness:  Ease and grace on offer!
Pisces rules artistry, imagination, inspiration, higher spiritual energies, the collective unconscious along with the energies of limitation, restriction, self-sacrifice, martyrdom, imprisonment. 
 
Every sign carries the energies of lesser and greater consciousness and it is our choice to consciously choose the more evolved expression of the signs if we wish to evolve.
 
Powerful energies for accessing the higher dimensions at this New Moon:
With this New Moon, the planetary forces are absolutely powerful for us to access the higher, more evolved consciousness of Pisces and release the victim mindsets which have been embedded in our karmic templates from other times, places and people.  A planetary shift is on tap for all those who choose.
 
What kind of changes can we expect?  Changes across the board!
Change of mind, change of heart, change of spiritual direction and physical flow on from these inner changes.  It’s likely to all happen very quickly and more than likely in a very unexpected way judging by the presence and activation of the accompanying planetary energies.
 
All obstacles to growth, expansion and fulfilment must go, will go:  A watershed moment!
The only rule of thumb for what’s likely to change is the principle that anything holding us back from our spiritual/physical growth, development, expansion and fulfilment will be removed from our lives.  All obstacles must go for all those ready to embrace this leap of faith.  It may seem like there is no choice. 
 
However, we need to remember that our soul knows what we have chosen, we have set out intent and willingness for some time so now there’s the roll out of possibilities and new directions.  Our only support is to remember that the universe is responding to our deepest desires and for us to maintain our trust in that and in ourselves as powerful magicians in our own lives.
 
Mars/Uranus conjoined at 21 degrees Aries opposite Jupiter in Libra at 22 degrees: 
Karmic justice, balance, I am, you are...dropping the baggage!
Art: Tran Nguyen
Pisces time: 
Solar month from 18th February to 20th March
Lunar month from 27th February to 28th March

Dropping the baggage, the obligations created in our own mind emanating from the constructs of social and familial conditioning.

It's Pisces time and the choice is ours as to whether we sacrifice our needs, desires, hopes and dreams by carrying obligations which we actually don't need to carry.
Pisces rules self-sacrifice, martyrdom, victim syndrome, limitations along with spiritual transcendence. Self-sacrifice at the expense of our health and well being is not a good recipe for being responsible for ourselves.

A good measure of our capacity for open-hearted capacity for giving is our life force which is renewed and uplifted when we are able to openly give to others. The other measure for determining our capacity for giving to others is if we're feeling resentful, exhausted, dragged down and even fall into the 'poor me' victimisation energy of feeling sorry for ourselves. It just means we've over extended ourselves when we're needing to take care of our own needs.

Who's responsible when we fall ill? We can only look to ourselves and the acceptance of our entitlement to love, good health and wellbeing and thus take the steps to support ourselves to this commitment.

Breaking the ties which are weighing us down:  If it’s me or you, I choose me!
If you’ve been grappling with duty, obligation and feeling overwhelmed by it all, the energies at this New Moon are going to give you a real wake up call.  When we’re faced with choices such as my health or the family’s wellbeing, we are usually and/or eventually forced to choose our health for our ongoing surviving and thriving!
That’s the kind of energy which is presenting at this eclipse.

How are your shock absorbers:  Keep calm and float!  We're ottering on!
Mars/Uranus on 21 degrees Aries:  Rebooting our urge for freedom!

Mars our masculine warrior energy travelling through his own sign of Aries is sitting on the same degree as Uranus, the lightning strike energy which awakens, alerts and uplifts with a suddenness which can take our breath away.  We are suddenly faced with those sacrifices we’ve made which have cost us and often in a way that has damaged us.  This is not just about self interest.  It’s about self-preservation and personal and spiritual growth.

Jupiter in Libra at 22 degrees opposite Mars/Uranus: 
Bridging the gap and rebalancing the playing field between ‘me’ and ‘you’!
Jupiter in Libra in opposition to the Mars/Uranus energies will be supporting us in a challenge/opportunity to bring personal balance and karmic justice to our lives.  It’s time for us to say ‘fair go’!  Jupiter is higher consciousness and in Libra it will be about balance, partnerships of all kinds including intimate, business, friends and family.  Where partnerships are out of balance, there will be an awakening and the likelihood of readjustment following on from this New Moon/eclipse energy.

'I let go of any burdens that are not mine to carry.'

Being birthed out of the eclipse vortex with the New Moon in Pisces:   
The beginning of the shift and upgrade in consciousness!
 
Neptune, ruler of Pisces is up close and personal with this New Moon eclipse in Pisces signifying the highly significant spiritual reboot that’s occurring as the New Moon, Sun and Neptune meet and give added strength to the nature of this new moon and the manner in which it will manifest in the next month to 6 months.
 
Higher spiritual ‘messages’ uplift us into new visions:  
Stay tuned and listening!

With the messenger Mercury only a few degrees away from the New Moon/Sun we are likely to receive some powerful messages and insights regarding the nature of our spiritual place in the world.  These messages could well come through the symbolic forms in Piscean language...music, art, images, lyric words like poetic forms, sounds, movement such as dance. 
 
Words, music and images come to mind:  Float and allow new ideas in!
Inspiration is our key word, Pisces energy sending powerful new creative ideas and forms into our higher mind and spirit.  This lunar month is being kickstarted with these amazing inspirational energies.  It’s up to us to make the most of them by putting ourselves into a relaxed state of mind, heart, body and spirit.  We need to allow the forces to carry us to new places of being and living.

THE RACE BEGINS: INTENT ON OUTDISTANCING HIS RIVALS, A JOCKEY SPURS HIS HORSE TO GREAT SPEED
This shows spurring to action when you need to, to rise to occasions that call for a sense of urgency or speed. Perhaps it's time to extract all the energy possible into situations. The “Race” is on, and you may feel that you can make it to the finish, but still are not guaranteed of victory. What efforts do you expend to push you faster and further than the rest of the field? Ensure that you're not expending all your energy too quickly and not really achieving anything of lasting value. Be wary of bolting out of the gate without knowing what your objective is. Needing to win at all costs can have others feeling like you’re not really ‘in the race’ – just wanting to win. Competitiveness. High ambitions. Spontaneous reactions. The need for speed. The home run. Rivals and competitors. Issues of weight gain and loss. Exhilaration. Horse racing. 

The Caution: Galloping at full speed, prematurely. Far too ambitious. Jumping the gun. Running out of steam. Ruthless measures. Sabotaging other’s efforts. Addiction to speed.

Upcoming Dates:
4th March:  Venus stations/turns retrograde 
9th March:  Mars enters Taurus
 
13th March:  Full Moon in Virgo
14th March:  Mercury enters Aries
 
20th March:  Sun enters Aries/Equinox 
 
 
That’s it folks!  
 
We’re heading in a new direction, setting sail on a voyage into the light of a new day as we complete and shift the old consciousness which has been keeping us in port getting our vessels cleaned and refurbished.  

We probably won’t feel the full effect of our refurbishment until we reach the Aries energies, firstly the Sun moving into Aries on 20th March, marking the Equinox, a significant portal of activation.  And then following up on that, the New Moon in Aries at the end of March will have our vessels fired by fire and steam! 
 
We’re all in this together! 
We’re all in the same boat heading in new directions towards new frontiers of discovery!
 
Our totem animal for this month is the otter bringing us the ‘go with the flow’ energy of the divine feminine and opening us to the wonders of joy and play. We’re ‘ottering’ on!
 
A sailor’s life...an otter’s life! Hugs all around!
 
 
Love and blessings as always to all the sailors on the sea, emulating the otters and feeling the spiritual currents carrying us all in the joy of life!

from the chair...’ottering’ yachting
 
 
 
 
 

It’s all about love
Divine reunion
