MARCH 2012

WHERE WE ARE TO START WITH

Mercury still in Aquarius: Mercury lends a collective outlook to things, with information getting put into context of the wider social web. It tends to cause us to be abstract thinkers who often follow a singular, original track, coming up with ideas that are ahead of their time.   

Venus still in Pisces: With Venus entering Pisces, we tend to seek to merge our relationships and experience intimacy on a spiritual and emotional level.  Relationships grow best out of the spiritual search, or creative collaborations offering an engagement with life’s mysteries.  We have a deep sense of connection with life and all of humanity, and are drawn to art and culture that reflects this connection.

Mars still in Retrograde in Virgo: When Mars is retrograde it depletes the vitality so it is never a time to initiate a new project, relationship, lawsuit or war.  If you do, you are setting yourself up to lose as it will fizzle out and never really go anywhere.  However, it is a good time to reinforce areas of our lives.

During this period of time we will be required to be very precise, redirect, adjust and readjust our course. We are directed to go down, only the most pertinent and effective channels in our lives, honing and refining our way, withdrawing personal energy from anything that is not necessary or vital for our forward movement. Check your Natal to chart to find out which house Virgo is in because this is where things really need to be tightened.

No excess movement, effort, thinking or doing will do any good.  Only small adjustments and re-direction have any affect.  It is important that one has patience and tolerance during this time.  If you try too hard, you find you have to make corrections in the opposite direction because you did too much.

If you are soooooo careful and diligent, smoothing every detail, investigating every glowing illusion, and attending every nagging detail and issue, you will be able to set the tone with this retrograde that can keep you grounded and out of the worst of the projected baloney and BS that is being amplified by this planet.

 Jupiter still in Taurus: This indicates a stable and beneficial use of money and resources. The accumulation of wealth is important to you so that you can provide a high standard of living that you want. You would like to have the best of everything, especially food.  You have a desire for most luxurious surroundings you can afford.  And attracting the assets you need is easier. In business you find you are steady and patient.  You are able to see things on a large scale and carry them through to completion. However, you are likely to be a bit stubborn, not liking to be pushed or told what to do. And you find that you are a bit conservative and orthodox in how you see things.

 Saturn still in Libra: You still find yourself concerned with how you come across to others on a personal. You see yourself, not as you want to be, but as you actually. You may decide that it is time to work on your body and appearance.  It is a good time to start a health regime, diet or health improvement plan.  Your outlook on live changes as you approach things in a more serious, mature manner. Although it may be painful at first, Saturn will force you to rework your feeling of inadequacy to where you have confidence in such a way that calls up your inner strength for that true confidence.  You find that you have a new identity and a realistic understanding of yourself.  You are also, laying the foundations for future success and progress for projects and your career.

Uranus still in Aries: This is a good time to start moving forward towards long-range plans.

Neptune still in Aquarius: This is a time of bringing you a powerful opportunity to vision and re-dream your life.  Hopefully, you have been addressing the issues that you have had a chance to step back and look at during the retrograde or those issues could become even worse.  By its going direct, it is accelerating the collective dreaming, and can surprise us with genius and new shared visions. It can get us excited about the future.

Pluto still in Capricorn: Continue to act on what the retrograde Pluto has shown us.  It has shown us the areas and ideals that no longer work but where we were not to act, yet, now, we have the go ahead to make those fundamental changes and overhauls. You are in the process of rebuilding.

Chiron is still in Pisces: It remains here until February, 2019. Chiron reveals our own scars and how we can heal them. We can learn and grow, but cannot happen without a heart wrenching trial. As it is said when you go through “hell”, what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.  Aquarius was associated with innovations and inventions, such as online dating, Facebook and others. Chiron is in Pisces.  This may result in an even greater need to be part of the whole.  More people will see the benefit of cultivation their spiritual selves and those addicted to things such as drugs or alcohol may finally be able to kick the addiction. Alternative methods of healing will become more credible and mainstream.  People may become more kind as they think about others with more empathy.  The inability to distinguish the self from others group, can make it difficult to know when to say no, especially those who are born under the sign of Pieces or Chiron.
