Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Week of March 4th - the week when everything happened at once

This week's major aspects (and they are all SO major, they have their own posts) are:

TUESDAY - Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces (29 degrees) - that post is HERE
WEDNESDAY - New Moon in Pisces (15 degrees) - that post is HERE
WEDNESDAY - Uranus into Taurus - that post is HERE

We are in uncharted territory now!

By the end of this week, all the outer planets will have moved into their positions for the big game (or the pre-show, depending on how we look at this). The transpersonal planets (bridge between outer and inner) are both strong in their home signs - Saturn in Capricorn and Jupiter in Sagittarius.

On TUESDAY,  Mercury will station retrograde at 29 degrees Pisces (the end of the end of the end which we can now see isn't the end after all, go figure).

I wrote a post about that HERE.

It is our time to do the "re's" - re-think, re-vise, re-visit, re-view. You know the drill. In Pisces, this retrograde might include some re-grets and re-morse. Pisces is an emotional water sign - this is just part of the process we need to go through to complete this cycle.

Taking our time with important decisions, hesitating, being unsure of which direction to take, needing to think things through slowly and carefully and taking the time to listen and allow things to fall into place in their own right timing - are par for the course now.

Our thinking could seem more scattered, our memories less sharp, our thoughts might belong to that guy next to us (like why are we craving potato chips when we hate potato chips .. wait, does anybody hate potato chips?), we will need to wash our hands (and vegetables) more thoroughly because it will be easier to connect with everything. We will need more sleep.

Our guard is down, even when our guard is up. Keep this in mind.

We will talk about this more as we move through it.

We have just had Chiron through Pisces for the last few years. This is Mercury doing a quick back and forth cleaning things up. We have earned a breakthrough, let's not squander it on too much wine and Netflix marathons (although both will come in handy at some points during March). If you have a spiritual practice - this is the month it will pay off - and keep in mind, gathering information isn't a spiritual practice! Listening to Hay House radio isn't a spiritual practice.

To have a practice we have to be actually practicing something!

I have had some insane Neptune transits, which I am going to write about this month - some best practices I have found are 1. give Neptune his due - meditation, mindfulness exercises, long quiet walks, hot baths, prayer, knitting, ironing, coloring, drawing, painting, singing, dancing, listening to music, prayer - if you find yourself losing your keys, the word you were just about to say, getting to the store and not remember actually driving to the store - give Neptune his due. THEN 2. do something very hands on, think Virgo here because Virgo is the polarity sign of Neptune's Pisces - clean the floor, do yard work, scour the sink - and yes, I know it scratches these damn stainless steel sinks like the one I have in my kitchen, but I can't help myself,  I love to scour - or maybe I love to scowl ..it's one or the other, maybe both.

Instead of holding space for our dreams as we go through our day to day reality-based life, we are going to have to be holding space for REALITY now.  

Our spiritual practice will keep us sane AND it is going to bring in a higher level of awareness - we will talk about this as we move through it and please read the Mercury Retrograde post! And yes, you can start this practice right now. Create a space for it - an actual physical space and a regular time/energy commitment. 

On WEDNESDAY, we have the New Moon in Pisces. I wrote a long post about that HERE. I like this New Moon. Alot. Our Piscean intentions are getting multiple avenues of support this year! Mercury is going to station direct here at the end of the month

and all this repetition is providing a means for something unconscious to come out in the open.

Also on Wednesday we have Uranus out of Aries and into Taurus for the NEXT SEVEN YEARS (sorry for all the screaming - I blame Uranus) - I wrote about that HERE BY SIGN - this is the biggest aspect of the month/maybe the year.

Changes, likely something that challenges our sense of security, could start off with a BANG.

We have Venus in Aquarius answering to Uranus (and Saturn), and now Uranus in Taurus answering to Venus - both Venus and Uranus will get an EXTRA BOOST by being in mutual reception (an energetic loop) for the next couple weeks.

Aries stabilizes - yay Aries! Taurus gets a shake-up. Aquarius (both of your rulers are now in earth signs) is more grounded - you will still have to deal with the squares though, so will Leo, and Scorpio will have the crazy oppositions. It's all in the Uranus post so don't miss it.

And keep in mind this is a seven year transit - it won't all be happening this week and it won't all be happening for the entire seven years!

The week could be cray-cray for many people though, so lighten your load as best you can. Expect to be more emotional.

Don't rush or over-schedule. Expect some shifts and backtracking, a quiet new beginning that might actually be kind of LOUD. Swift change as something stabilizes and something else starts to rock and roll.

Everything we need is here - and probably a couple things we aren't going to want.

I have been saying Trump is Uranus since the election (with Uranus on his Sun and North Node natally), so we'll see how Uranus's change of position - from fire to earth - will work for him. Will he stable out a bit? get stuck in the mud? or double down on his scorched Earth maneuverings until he (or we) burn out?

A Quick Sky Map | the Astrology of March 2019 | we don't know if we are coming or going because we are both coming AND going, the ground shifts, surrendering to a new way of communicating, mining spiritual gold, relationship issues, practical action, building the dream, releasing limits, releasing control, tuning into a new frequency, wait for it ...

I don't usually post a monthly, but I want to free up some time this month to do some big-picture Age of Aquarius posts and finish up that Trump series. This will be here in case I get behind with a weekly! It's rough, and much is excluded, but I think it covers the gist of things (along with the links).

The first week of March is a time of change. Courses shift. There could be sudden unexpected events and slowdowns. BUT, and this is a BIG BUT (not that kind of big butt, stay with me people!), there is real-deal manifestation energy here, too. Mega.

MARCH 1st through 6th : Venus moves into Aquarius (trining Chiron), coming off a disruptive square to Uranus. I write about that HERE. Mercury stations retrograde in Pisces. I write about that HERE. Uranus (after eight years) exits Aries for Taurus. I will write about that HERE and then we have the Sun and Moon meeting (on Neptune!) for the Pisces New Moon. I will write about it HERE. Most of this is happening on the 5th and 6th!

(a couple of the "HERES" are not up yet, but will pop to the top of the blog as posted and then I will fill in the links)

MARCH 10th through 15th : Mars - our action, initiative, passion and anger (plodding his way through the rich soil of Taurus which Uranus is now busy shaking up - hopefully Uranus is going to help Mars in the same way a rototiller helps the gardener - maybe not as much fun for the worm though) is going to sextile Neptune - bringing movement to this year's Neptune/Saturn dream building/limit releasing story. There is opportunity here - with earth/water it will probably not fall right into our lap, we are going to need to work/reach for it. Which is OK because soon after, Mars moves into trine (brakes off) with "the work" Saturn. The pilings are going in. Keep in mind Mars is in his detriment in (Venus-ruled) Taurus and can get pretty freakin' lazy, maybe wander off to smell the roses or take another bath, and these aspects are subtle. We can miss them. So let's not. The Moon is growing. We need to take some practical action here. Now, Mercury is retrograde, so we are still doing more listening than talking, we are still looking backward and within, we are doing the "re's" - but life isn't stopped, something is being built, too. We get the first Quarter Moon - a waxing square - between the Pisces Sun (answering to Neptune, strong in Pisces) and the Gemini Moon (not so strong and answering to a retrograde Mercury). This is tension/stress around whatever was kicked off at the New Moon the week before. There could be alot of questions now. Confusion. Revisions. Maybe we won't know what to do with something or most likely we don't know what to think. We could be running around like headless chickens if we get too out of touch with this month's more mystical energies. Slow down the pace. Sit with it. Meditate. Pray. Hydrate. Quiet your mind. Our intuition will be high (with some caveats). We are moving on faith, people.

MARCH 20th through 22nd : The Sun moves into Aries giving us the Spring Equinox and kicking off the astrological Solar Year. The Sun will conjunct hurting/healing Chiron, so something may not feel so good, but the Sun will also be trining deep, transformative Pluto. Change is healing and won't be stopped now. The Libra Moon moves into a fast opposition with the Aries Sun giving us this month's Full Moon (a zero degree Full Moon, so another lunar ending and beginning rolled into one!). Full Moons bring things to light, to a culmination or to a conclusion. This is the Aries/Libra polarity. Too much Aries and we get selfishness, anger, foolish impulsivity, lots of fast starts and then nothing gets finished. Too much Libra and we get boundary issues, indecisive waffling, avoidance of conflict and co-dependency. Relationship imbalances will show up now. We need to really take a look at the disagreements/situations we are having with others - what are we projecting onto other people that we need to take ownership of? Full moons are about release - how can we let go of what isn't working? Diplomacy, cooperation and balance will be needed as well as action, courage and staying aware/taking care of our own self-interests. The Full Moon includes an auspicious kite formation - we'll talk about this as we move closer and I have more time to think about the energies as we approach it. We have another Libra Full Moon next month, so we will sort of get another crack at this - of course some of the other players will have moved on.

Then - EVERYTHING SHIFTS FORWARD .... (Mercury won't be covering totally new ground until mid-April)

MARCH 26th through 31st - Venus moves into Pisces where she is exalted. She can work her magic here. This is the spiritual/creative gold we have been mining by turning within this month, noticing synchronicities and affirming very deep and very old soul connections. Keep in mind, the lines between us and other people, between acceptance and avoidance, between our money and their money, between love and "what the hell was I thinking" - will blur now. The opportunities for financial gains (and losses) increase. Resistance dissolves. We could find those unusual Aquarian attractions from the last couple weeks drifting out to sea. Then we get the last quarter Moon as the serious and rule-abiding Capricorn Moon squares the impulsive and independent Aries Sun and at the same time Mercury, finished with his/her revisions and tired of swimming backwards, stations direct conjunct Pisces ruler Neptune - exactly where he/she stationed retrograde on March 6th and where we had the New Moon this month and there is a connection to around February 20th. Here is the reality of the situation. The month ends with Mars move into Gemini (answering to a newly direct Mercury, although he/she is still covering old ground).

What has changed? What have we learned? How can we put it to use?

The change in momentum will be very noticeable in April. Life speeds up.

So, that is a mini rundown for March. Dates will fluctuate a bit for your personal stuff as the aspects build and unwind. Keep in mind the big events are in the links (!), especially Mercury Retrograde in Pisces (with all those Neptune contacts, the last of which is April 2nd) and, of course, Uranus into Taurus, which sets up the outer planetary line-up for the next few years - Uranus in Taurus, Pluto in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces.

The final tumbler clicks into place ....

Astrology Forecast for Creatives | Week of February 25th - karmic decisions, old love, old money, debts and inheritances, news, fast changes, unexpected love and money situations, fated encounters, moving past the rules as Venus leaves Capricorn with a BANG

Some major aspects for the week ahead are:

MONDAY - Venus conjuncts the South Node | opposes the North Node
Mercury trines the North Node | sextiles the South Node and Venus
THURSDAY - Mars sextiles the Sun and squares the Galactic Center
FRIDAY - Venus squares Uranus and enters Aquarius
SATURDAY - Venus trines Chiron

We are counting down to March 6th when Uranus returns to Taurus (through 2026) shaking up the stablest (and often stuck-est) space in our charts. Sometimes there is a need to bring in outside elements and resources to break up familiar/repeating patterns - that's Uranus's job (through us). And the more we have collected in Taurus, the more there will be for Uranus to turn upside down. On the flipside, Uranus himself (through us) becomes more stable in Taurus answering to Venus. There isn't any all-night study session that will get us ready (we did get a preview last May), but this week's journey of our inner planets is helping to clear a path and lowering our resistance to CHANGE ...

On MONDAY/TUESDAY, we have Venus conjuncting the South Node (in Capricorn) and opposing the North Node (Cancer) at the same time we have Mercury trining (brakes off) the North Node and sextiling (opportunity) the South Node and Venus.

Let's unpack this.

We'll start with Venus although we really can't separate the Mercury stuff. With Venus (love, money, resources, what we value, our self-esteem, beauty, women) contacting the South Node (what we are releasing/been there done that) and opposing the North Node (the environment we are moving into) - Venusian issues will culminate.

South Node stuff is very old and very deep. It goes back to our childhoods, our ancestors/our past lives. This is similar to the Venus/Pluto we moved through last week - the debts/rewards of our own past and our ancestors' stuff we talked about and we are still in Capricorn and dealing collectively with work/career/goals and also through the Capricorn theme of our natal chart.

Payments might come in now for "what we are owed". Or maybe our own debts come due. If money or a resource or a relationship or a source of income flows out of our life now, know there is right-timing here. Maybe we have amassed this debt (from this life or a past life or an ancestral inheritance) and need to pay this off now, to unblock our future abundance. And I am not just talking about money/physical resources here. This could be about an abuse of power or abuse of another person's emotions. 

What are we trying to control?

It is time to free ourselves up.

Avoiding our debt just delays the stuff waiting to flow to us once this stuff is paid off. Venus won't cross the South Node in Capricorn for about another 18 years and Pluto won't be back here in our lifetimes. Let's not pass this debt onto our future self or our own children - it's kind of now or never with some of this stuff.

Relationships can end/shift. Old loves (and the stuff we used to love, especially old careers) can re-appear. New/karmic relationships can begin. 

It is fated.

The ways we used to make money is changing. 

The ways we used to relate to other people is changing. 

Maybe the tenant becomes the landlord as the landlord, who was never as stable as he appeared to be, sells to pay off his debts. The corner office changes hands as our ambitions shift - and let's not be the guy holding onto the window sill by his fingernails!

Money/love is shifting. 

The calloused hands find a way to live more authentically through doing less; the idle hands discover the value of tired muscles and dirty fingernails. 

We don't want to "wake up" some kind of tragic inheritance by holding onto something from the past that needs to be released.

We are all going through a Plutonian transit together. In July, this stuff will really be coming home to us, but it is a process until then. We are playing the long game. 

Whatever this is for us, with Mercury (Pisces) trining the North Node (Cancer) and sextiling the South (Capricorn) - the news/information/communication won't be stopped - this whole thing moves forward regardless.

Keep in mind, Mercury, through us, is walking a very long story through about the middle of April. There are twists and turns ahead. We have to stay flexible - and yes, with that Cancer North Node - we have to stay vulnerable and nurturing and open to not judging this kind of stuff as weak.

No one needs you to be perfect. No one needs another freakin' expert.

When we don't know something, we get alot further now (and gain more support), by just saying, "that's a good question, I'm not sure, let me find out" than we do by providing someone with some bullsh*t answer they will see/feel right through.

Our integrity (wholeness) comes through our willingness to be open/vulnerable - "yes, I know about this, here is what I know" or "no, I don't know about this, let me find out." And yes, then we will probably have to find out - Saturn is in Capricorn, we can't forget this part. Nothing truly worthwhile is going to come without some efforting on our part!

Even the stuff that falls into our lap is going to require our time/energy/resources to make something of it or it is just going to lay there staining our favorite jeans.

Venus is a beneficial planet - she attracts what she needs. She brings favorable results to our Capricorn house now, and also, yes, with the South Node, the possibility of a release/ending.

She meets Uranus at the end of the week and then in another week Uranus will be answering to HER (think about Uranus being Trump with this one, if this makes you feel better) - everything is changing anyway! We are holding onto smoke rings.

Mercury's contact with the North and South Nodes are repeating aspects, due to Mercury's upcoming retrograde, so what we hear/say/learn now will be evolving - it's not the last word - these are GOOD aspects in that they move us forward (opportunities as we move away from Capricorn and smooth ground as we move toward Cancer) through our Pisces house energy. The journey will be kind of drifting and confusing though with behind the scenes assistance, shifting information, people changing their minds and back-door negotiations.

EXAMPLE FOR Scorpio/Scorpio Rising (in general this would be Capricorn 3rd house, Pisces 5th) - Venus meets the South Node in your 3rd house of communication, information, writing, siblings, transportation or your local neighborhood, note this is the same space she met Pluto last week - signaling a karmic conversation/information from the past likely regarding a Venusian topic- love, money, self-esteem, resources, values, relationships, women, beauty (this also could involve the themes of the houses Venus rules in your natal chart - Libra/Taurus). This will be important - you have attracted a debt/inheritance here and it is time to move past it. At the same time Mercury in your 5th house of creative projects, your self-expression, what you give birth to, your center-stage, children, romance and recreation is pushing something forward through April and keep in mind whatever this is, will be subject to revisions. Your relationships and how you relate to other people is changing big time and you are preparing to meet multiple new and different people, Scorpio. You are a fixed sign and maybe not so fond of change, stay open and flexible.

On THURSDAY, Mars (in Taurus) is going to sextile our Pisces Sun and square the Galactic Center (seat of creation). This is where putting our energy into spiritual work or healing or creativity creates opportunities. The square to something new tells us it will probably not be without some tension/frustration, but always keep in mind with squares that little of importance is done without them. We have the courage to act with sensitivity/compassion. We might need to be a little careful with our boundaries now or any martyr crap, but hopefully stable Taurus will take care of that. Our ancestral DNA and the ghosts of our dreams - are helping us take action. We don't want to daydream this opportunity away with a nap. Take some kind of action today.

On FRIDAY, Venus will square Uranus (SURPRISE) and then move into geeky Aquarius.

Here's where our Venus story gets a surprise twist.

We could make a rebellious move with love/money.  

Or an unexpected or sudden partnership/love or money/resources situation could catch us by surprise.

Venus has been very serious in Capricorn these last few weeks and now she goes out with a bang!

Whatever we have been working with here can take a left turn now - including all the stuff I said in the beginning of the post, so I hope you are the kind of reader who sticks it out to the end.

With Venus moving into Uranus ruled Aquarius quickly after the square maybe whatever happens shocks us into stepping back to get a little more distance from whatever is happening or triggers an attraction to something very strange and unusual (for us) or, well, with Aquarius this could be pretty much anything except what we expect it to be!

Venus will be in Aquarius until March 26th.

Aquarius Suns and Aquarius rising (Aquarius ruler of first house of your natal chart) get more attractive. Both easier on the eye and able to attract what they want.

All of our natal Aquarius houses become more attractive, too!

Ruling our collective 11th house of friendships - the next few weeks are a good time to connect with people, our groups and causes. Also good for purchases of technology, just check the Moons and avoid the voids.

Our Aquarius house is a space we experience and evolve through Aquarian energies. Maybe by experiencing unexpected situations and unusual experiences. Maybe by being able to detach and get enough distance from something to be able to see it clearly. Maybe through flashes of genius or rebelliousness. Maybe through chaos. Our natal Uranus placement (ruler of Aquarius) and its contacts will tell us a more complete story.

Now, we have Venus moving into/through this space.

As she moves through Aquarius she will make contact with not only any planets/points we have in Aquarius, but also the planets/points we have in Leo (by opposition), in Scorpio and Taurus (by square) and other planets, too (by sextile, etc).

This is where knowing our natal chart can come in handy.

As a collective influence, for all of us, Venus moves out of Capricorn (the rules) and into Aquarius (the space we move past the rules).

Beautiful Venus drops her briefcase full of "shoulds". She takes her hair out of its tightly constructed bun and shakes her head. She kicks off her too-tight, office-ready pumps. She wears whatever she wants to wear now. She can do whatever she wants to do now. There is no one to impress in this new space. There is no one to answer to.

Now subconsciously we all feel this (even though there is a hell of alot of planets left in Capricorn and Saturn is home in Capricorn now, so we don't get to drop all responsibilities, plus Saturn is the ancient ruler of Aquarius!) - a kind of relief as Venus disentangles us a bit from what is required of us to be 'acceptable'.

Maybe we start to notice (attract) things we would have otherwise missed. The strange and unusual will catch our eye now.

We will be attracted to things/situations/solutions/people that are different.

(And just like anything else - 'different' which is a good thing, can be taken too far, too. I have a family member with Uranus on his ascendant, now not everyone with a Uranus/Ascendant conjunction will show up this way, but he not only looks very unusual, but has the need to show everyone else strange and unusual things, ALL THE TIME, then he wonders why no one is liking his Facebook posts! Everyone has already blocked him because it just gets to be too much. Now his stuff is pure Uranus, not Aquarius which is co-ruled by stable Saturn - but we might still take the need to attract what we want through something 'different' too far now, especially if we trend in this direction to begin with!)

Ruled by unpredictable Uranus, Aquarius is the space that is hard to forecast. When we step outside the rules (Uranus is outside Saturn's boundaries) our outcomes become less predictable, too.

Venus (beauty) in Aquarius (unique) allows us to see the beauty in things we wouldn't normally regard as beautiful. What would it take to see our crooked teeth as beautiful? our messy house? a real loss?

Wouldn't it take detachment? Wouldn't it take an ability to step back a little farther from whatever we are looking at?

To see the big picture -

(maybe those slightly crooked teeth have allowed us to evolve, as we grow to appreciate them, from mumbling our words through a mostly, un-moving mouth to speaking our well thought out opinions clearly and emphatically - maybe without those slightly crooked teeth, we would have learned this lesson in an even bigger, more painful way).

To see what other people, who are not closely connected to the things we are connected to, are seeing
(that messy home looks like a busy, happy family lives there).

To see the future -

(that loss now is creating a space something bigger and better will be filling in five years).

Detachment is one of the gifts of Aquarius (and also one of the curses if taken too far - think about technology that detaches us from reality).

Venus's transit here allows us to step back from what we are usually most attracted to. When we step away we can see things we couldn't see before. And keep in mind people (and situations) could step away from us a little bit now to get a clearly look, too. This isn't a permanent disconnection (unless it is) - this is a transit remember. It's a part of the process. A kind of 'sowing our wild oats' part, where we all need a bit more space. A part we skip at our own peril.

Aquarius is the genius, rebel, criminal, humanitarian - the outsider.

This is a good time to step outside of ourselves and view our situation more dispassionately. To be more objective. The energies at play now will assist us. If this was someone else's situation/life we were looking at what would we see?

Venus is about what we want.

Can we step away from what we want just long enough and just far enough to give everything some fresh air? to gain some different insights? to try something else?

On SATURDAY, Venus trines hurting/healing Chiron, helping us deal with any Venusian changes/disruptions by keying us into why they may be necessary.

There is "gold somewhere in them there hills".

The Moon is void on MONDAY until 4:19PM EST when she flies out of focused Scorpio and into optimistic Sagittarius. That should feel good! The Void Moon could bring some twists and turns to the day and keep in mind whatever the Void stirs up will likely be much to do about nothing. Don't start anything new during the void. Good energy for routine stuff that isn't very important.

xo all

I will probably post less about the Moons this week so I can get the upcoming Mercury Retrograde and Uranus/Taurus posts finished - Monday is the only Void Moon during the work week/working hours.

 

Full Moon in Virgo | February 19, 2019 - the Moon for butchers and bakers and candlestick makers, an ending and a beginning rolled into one, keeping our eyes on the prize and our thinking flexible

On Tuesday morning at 10:53AM EST, the Sun (at 0 degrees Pisces) opposes the Moon (at 0 degrees Virgo) giving us our annual Full Moon in Virgo. This is the second month in a row we have had a 0 degree Full Moon bringing us a culmination point/ending and a beginning at the same time!

This Full Moon is going to spotlight work issues, quality issues, health issues and issues/situations involving our daily activities - the nuts and bolts of life, cleaning stuff up - it's excellent energy for working with all of them. 

Be mindful of what is coming to fruition now (this Moon is the culmination of September's New Moon) and also what we are keeping in motion regarding our work and health that it is time to release or withdraw our energies and attention from. 

Full Moons tend to show us what we are holding onto. Don't be fooled (Mercury conjunct Neptune) into wasting energy propping anything up that isn't working. 

Full Moons bring us to peak energy - things reach a culmination or a conclusion. Under the Moon's full power - things come to light, meaning to our attention or into the open. Usually a Full Moon in grounded, reality-based Virgo provides the facts. The fog lifts. The results are visible. Sanity prevails.

This year's energy is a bit trickier because we have Virgo's ruler Mercury conjunct Neptune (which brings the fog!) in Pisces - where Neptune is strong and Mercury is weak. The plot then thickens as BOTH Mercury and Neptune are sextiling sober and most decidedly un-foggy Saturn - strong in his home sign of Capricorn. And the Moon trines (brakes off) Mars plodding his way through Taurus and Uranus finishing up in Aries. The Moon inconjuncts Chiron, freshly minted in Aries, and at the powerful Aries Point, squares Juno (in Gemini) and sextiles Pallas (in Libra).

The Moon is conjunct fixed star Regulus (all of us were born with Regulus at 29 degrees Leo, but in 2011 he moved to 0 degrees Virgo - this is the star we talked about in the Trump posts, since it is conjunct his ascendant and it was most prominent during the Great American Eclipse of August 2017, that literally - and I mean literally - cut the country in half).

This powerful star is connected to "king-making" ie great and swift success, but just as swift a downfall if "revenge" is taken.

The star's move from Leo (the king) to Virgo (the servant) is another sign of the shifting "success potential" from the few to the many; of a shift away from hierarchical birthrights. Think about the way the internet has made "regular" people rich and famous and evened the playing field for many.

And, we have the Full Moon's ruler Mercury hitting the first degree he/she will re-walk during her upcoming retrograde today! So, we are going to be back here again at the end of March and even though mid-April.

Whatever story we have playing out is going to include some delays and revisions. We won't be going straight from point A to point B, passing GO and collecting $200.00.

What we learn now won't be the total story. The conversation will continue. Facts will need to be double-checked. Minds will change. In fitting with both Virgo and the Moon's 0 degree status - we are going to have to work/move through the process.

The opportunity (sextile) comes through sober Saturn, so keep your feet on the ground and your eyes on the prize - the long term goal here.

Know with Neptune/Saturn we either have the dissolving of a boundary/limit or the need for a sacrifice/release/ending to get to something more stable and lasting.

Let's say we want better health (and Virgo rules our health) - it will come through what we give up. Maybe we give up sugar or cigarettes or thirty minutes sleep a night to get up earlier and exercise. The sacrifice is necessary to get to the goal. And this may seem obvious with our health, but keep in mind success won't come through adding something (like a handful of vitamins) but through what we are releasing (like an addiction).

This is the way to think about how to reach goals and stabilize situations now - what do I need to give up to get it?

Or working the flipside of Neptune/Saturn (and even though this is only one aspect of this Full Moon, since it is a repeating aspect this year it packs more of a punch) - a limit/boundary is dissolved that creates greater stability/success. With the conjunction to Mercury - this would be a good time for a change in our thinking. Again it will be about what we release. Maybe a powerful thought about what isn't possible for us, that king-maker Regulus in Virgo reminds us is no longer "true". And maybe that thought that something isn't possible for us, that belief that is keeping us stuck, but used to keep us safe (an excuse to not venture too far from what is familiar) can be dissolved this year/this Full Moon/maybe right this instant.

Courage is required. We will have to give up one thing to get something else. We don't know what we don't know. Other people are needed. There is going to be a back and forth, two steps forward, one step back with whatever is going on. We will work the process. Things could get confusing.

Something could feel hard to hold onto. Lots of things could feel like they are slipping through our fingers. Maybe completions will still feel incomplete and unsatisfying somehow. Maybe we feel better - the symptoms clear up, but since we aren't sure what really happened or if it is going to happen again we still feel a certain unease with our health. We will have to see how this goes and work the process - do the daily stuff that keeps everything moving - with Neptune/Pisces there are always more questions than answers!

Keep in mind we are playing the long game. And this is the year we get lucky. Also that all the aspects we talked about in the weekly (other than the daily moons) are in play at this Full Moon.

xo all

don't forget to get out and walk in it and also to make some kind of symbolic release - a bag of clothes to Goodwill, a box of books to the library - free up some space for the good stuff to find you!
