March is a big month with two Eclipses and the Vernal Equinox.  Three heavenly doorways will open opportunities to people all over the world. Recently, everywhere I speak with people I hear more and more stories of true compassion, tolerance, serenity and joy!  There is a universal upgrade now available for those wishing to open and receive it.  My understanding is that gratitude and forgiveness are two of the keys people are using to open themselves to these opportunities.  These eclipses are the end of a cycle that began in March of 1988; it is always good to review these cycles from both ends.  Check your memory, your journals and the internet to see how things have progressed.
  

• Venus is in the West rising higher and brighter all month.

• Mars is dull in the pre-dawn sky.

• Jupiter rises in the early morning hours as the month ends.

• On the 1st watch the Moon rise in Conjunction with Saturn

• Moon occults Saturn on the 2^nd

• Eclipse: The Earths shadow eclipses the Moon on the 3^rd Most of us in the USA will get a good view of this eclipse some good photos may be available.

• Moon occults Mars on March 16^th, the Ides of March.

• Moon Eclipse the Sun on the 18^th

• Moon occults Saturn again on the 28^th

 Noteworthy: Daylight Savings time begins March 11^th at 2:00 am. Both Mercury retrograde and eclipse energy come with recommendations encouraging us to wait and see how things shake out.  Yet many things change during this period and we must make decisions.  For this month I recommend using the energy of the equinox to find your balance point.  The Equinox is a day of equal light and dark with the balance point reached at sunset.  As often as possible, remember to ground and center this month.  The important thing to know is this balanced energy is available to us as we come into the beginning of a new cycle.  As we align our awareness to this balance of light we have the Sun’s entrance into Aries to start a new world cycle.  We create our own beginning, enabling us to step into the flow of nature’s rhythm.
 

Venus moves into Taurus on the 17^th just ahead of the new moon.  Now, as Venus is the ruler of Taurus, she causes us to consider our values.  This new moon may provide needed insights as we review where our values lie. If you are working with the laws of attraction, the energy of Venus in Taurus is the perfect facilitator for the process.

Mercury re-enters Pisces before the New Moon on the 18^th  and we move more into the group mind experience.  This is a psychic, poetic, mystical, state of mind.  With Mercury in Pisces, people tend to respond from their pre-conditioning rather than reacting in the now to the present circumstances.  Take extra care that you do not fall into this trap!  With all the other energies that are engaged this month, the danger of the consequences are greater than usual.

Sun enters Aries after sunset on the 20^th.  When the Sun reaches the Aries point, at 0 Aries once a year, we experience a cosmic rebirth.  We become more alive to the world around us as it becomes alive in response to our awareness.  Even if you live where the world is moving from summer to fall, we collectively prepare for a new energetic cycle. Anytime the Sun reaches 0 degrees of a Cardinal sign, we come to a world energy point.  These will coincide with the Equinoxes and Solstices, also if you chart the world news, you will see that major turning points often coincide with these times.
   

Mercury continues his apparently retrograde journey through Aquarius until late on the 7^th of March; it is best, if possible, to give a few days for the slow thought process to pick up speed before settling any important decisions or contracts.  Until then, this is a good time to review and renew.

Pluto stations retrograde on the 31^st. This is a very powerful time for the transformative powers of Pluto as he and his traveling companion Chiron station at the Galactic core to begin their apparent retrograde process.  Pluto has pulled off one of the most transformative process of our time.  Not only did he go from being a planet to a dwarf planet but also he became two planets instead of one.  All this as he journeys to the Galactic core!  Now as he travels back and forth at this point for the rest of the year we can use this energy to change within and as a collective consciousness.  The more we do as individuals to upgrade the energetic level of the planet the greater the impact that we can have.
    

The Virgo Lunar Eclipse finds the Moon in Virgo oppose a conjunction of the Sun and Uranus while Jupiter moves into a square of Uranus the Sun and the Moon.  This insures that events at this time are big enough that we can’t help but notice the changes that are being made.  The hazard of this energy is that it encourages us to leap without looking.  Use the energy of the Jupiter Uranus square to illuminate areas of expansion.  Review the lessons of Saturn oppose Neptune, which are wanted and needed.  As much as possible, refrain from signing anything, read all the small print, create a realistic game plan, apply discernment and grow.  By the end of this month, many of us will have moved to a new world.  Now is the time to make sure you are aligning with energies that help to promote your best self.
  

New Moon – March 18^th, 9:43 PM CDT 28° 07" Pisces

The Pisces Solar Eclipse finds the Moon conjunct the Sun squaring Pluto, while Jupiter continues to square Uranus.  Saturn trines Jupiter while remaining in opposition to Neptune – now this gets a little complicated, so bear with me.  Mars sitting between Chiron and Neptune is in the degree of the nodes which is always an action packed moment.  Uranus is conjunct the north node while Venus is 45° away.  This leaves Venus in a position to stir things up as 45° creates an agitation  –   anything goes.  If you have time to meditate now the world will benefit.  The more time we collectively put into meditation this month the stronger the impact of this new energy can be.  Remember Uranus is electrical in nature; a major jolt can take a while to process through your system.  For those that desire, this is an opportunity to be remade more humane.  The best way to process a download of this magnitude is to step out of the way and allow your inner wisdom to process for you.  Let go and let God.  This is a great time to focus on your favorite mantra, affirmation, whatever it takes get out of your own way, and hold a positive intention. Release your expectations and allow the process to work.  This is a time of transformation for the planet and humanity we all get to cast a deciding vote.  Remember there are no neutral thoughts only positive or negative.  Generate positive energy your vote counts!
