Overview: After the expansive full moon on 2/28, we may be feeling restless and ready to move forward. However, the first couple of weeks of March we must take care of some important communication and consider how our plans for the spring impact others in our world. We may need to breakdown to break through 3/9-3/11; remember that you don’t need to figure it all out, just be honest with how you feel and what you want. The Pisces new moon on 3/15 helps us to release and let go of fears we no longer need to carry and plants the seed for new, more compassionate possibilities.
3/1…Communicate your intuitions and perceptions; we are riding on the tails of an expansive full moon yesterday. It may take a couple of tries to get your message across; don’t give up.
The diplomat…3/2…Call it as you see it with courtesy and respect. Time to negotiate a third way through any polarities you are experiencing.
3/3-4…The difficult questions we looked at earlier in the week break open to possibilities we hadn’t yet fathomed. The depths of our perceptions can renew and replenish our spirit.
My way…3/5…Careful of blowing an interpersonal situation out of proportion. Poise is needed, not clever comebacks, to better channel our power and passion by accepting the limits of our personal will and truly attempting to understand the needs of others.
Let Freedom Reign…3/6-7…Take a risk and explore something new this weekend. With the moon in Sagittarius, the sign of the explorer and philosopher and Venus entering the feisty sign of Aries, we are in the mood for an adventure.
3/8-9….Switch out negative thinking with a mature perspective. The pressure is on our relationships to grow and deepen on 3/9. Remember that when you point the finger at another three fingers point back at you. We will most likely encounter some strong projections; by owning these instead of blaming others we create a lasting foundation of trust and respect with those we care about.
A turning point of passion…3/10-3/11…on 3/10 Mars, the planet of passion, action, and courage turns direct; it has been retrograde in Leo since Dec 20. Where have you directed and realigned your passion and motivation to more personal matters in the past three months? Retrograde phases of any planet are an opportunity to retrace our steps and reclaim something of value. This Mars cycle in particular dealt with our heart, romance, creativity, and the inner child. You may have experienced some hiccups and delays in external events and planning; but take care as the tide is turning and our energy levels and ability to execute should ramp up accordingly in the coming weeks as we move further into the spring.
Directly following the Mars station on 3/11 Venus, goddess of love, connection, and values, squares off with Pluto, god of the underworld and deep transformation. Passion and intensity are in the air. This aspect puts pressure on our relationships. We must change and deepen our commitment to that which we value and love and let go and release that which we have outgrown. Issues that come up in relationships have deeper roots than we may initially realize. Let go of power plays and embrace radical honesty. Be fearless and go to the essence of the matter at hand; greater trust and intimacy are available for those who choose to make this journey.
3/12..Take some time to catch your breath and reflect.
Waves are crashing on our shore…3/13-3/15…Innovation and ideas come fast and furious. Sleep patterns may be disturbed by all the electric energy in the air (Uranus, the radical liberator is joining Mercury the messenger in Pisces). Just go with it and write down the sparkling truths flashing through your mind. That and go easy on the caffeine J

Go beyond your limits. The dreamer has some messages for us. Take heed and listen. Mystical experiences are likely and available to facilitate the liberation of our soul and spirit from any self-imposed limitations that are no longer relevant. Be open and receptive to experiencing compassion, faith, and forgiveness in new ways.
