The New Moon in Pisces at 2:59 AM EST on Saturday
morning, March 1, 2014 makes a positive connections with Jupiter in
Cancer. This is a great for spiritual
openings, heightening of the imagination and enhancing artistic abilities. Mercury in Aquarius went direct the day
before and Mars goes retrograde at 11:24 AM EST and just like that the energy
shifts and changes. More changes come
as Moon enters Aries on Sunday and Saturn in Scorpio turns retrograde. When planets change direction the energies
that those planets embody heightens, strengthens and often manifests concrete
events according to the sign they are in and in the individual horoscope, the
house they are in. In the afternoon,
Venus in Capricorn squares retrograde Mars in Libra. Relationships are
strained, arguments ensue. The masculine
and feminine principles clash. This does not bode well for diplomacy on
international fronts as well as the kitchen table variety. Moon in Aries wants things right now. Impulsive action that is not well thought out
is a signature of this Moon.
On Monday, March 3, 2014 before most folks make it to the
job this Aries Moon bounces off Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto stirring things
up. Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are in an
ongoing T-Square that is Jupiter opposing Pluto and both squaring Uranus, looks
like a T. Squares agitate and make
things happen; oppositions are just that, opposing viewpoints, folks on
opposite sides of the fence. We see this
symbolism acted out in world events. In
the Ukraine, it’s between East and West, in the US it’s liberal and
conservative, rich and poor etc. So when Aries Moon sets this off things
happen. When Moon passed through Libra
kicking things off from the opposite side of the Zodiac forming a Grand Square
demonstrations began in Kiev. Aries Moon may escalate things. In the afternoon Sun in Pisces forms a
congenial aspect with Pluto in Capricorn, although congenial any time Pluto is
involved there are issues of power and control.
On Tuesday afternoon at 2:12 PM EST Moon enters Taurus
bringing out our need for emotional stability. We don’t like change and favor
the traditional while Moon travels through this fixed earth sign. Folks tend to be a bit stubborn now. On Ash Wednesday, with Moon still in Taurus,
Venus moves into Aquarius. Venus, the
planet of love and money in this sign is looking for friendship first. The
unconventional or odd appeals and socializing is often done with a group of
friends while Venus is in Aquarius.
On Friday, Jupiter in Cancer changes direction stirring
up Uranus and Pluto in the process. In
the evening Moon moves into versatile Gemini and we seek mental
stimulation. Talking and the exchange of
ideas keep folks busy. The duality of
Gemini often makes it difficult to make a decision. A good time to take care of
correspondence and return phone calls as information simply flows.
All in all this is a week of change. In some areas things that were on hold begin
to move along, while in other areas a reevaluation may be in order. We can expect more demonstrations,
authorities flexing their muscles and the common folk flexing theirs as
well. On an individual level it may be
difficult to extend the olive branch but attempts at peace making are always
worth the effort. The fruits of those
efforts may not manifest right away, but during periods of turmoil it is wise
to lay the foundation for the hoped for stability to follow.
