As you are working to redefine your boundaries and clear out all that is no longer effective in your life, you are continually confronted with the duality of this world.

Yet as you look into the duality of all that is it, you will see many seeming opposites are more closely related than they first appear. For instance,  sweet and sour are both tastes, red and green are both colors, faith and fear are both states of our relationship to the world around us. You live in an eternal moment of the ever present now and the only real choice you have is to live the highest caliber life you can aspire to.

Reminder:  2:00 AM Sunday the 9th Daylight Savings time begins, spring forward.
 

Viewing the Night Sky
 
  • On the 5th The Moon will occult Mercury, Venus, and Neptune in that order.

  • The Vernal Equinox is on the 19th on the West coast and the 20th on the East coast.

  • For those in Mountain Standard Time the equinox and midnight coincide to make a powerful door way between planes.

  • Mars fades in the night sky as he reaches his opposition to Pluto and Charon.

  • Saturn is now rising in the evening look for him in the eastern sky.

  • Look for Jupiter in the morning before the Sun out shines him in the South of East.

  • Look for Jupiter in the morning before the Sun out shines him in the South of East.

  • Mercury is still visible in the morning sky with nearly invisible Venus.

Planetary Progress
 

Mars enters Cancer on the 4th  Once again you turn your attention to making your family secure, taking care of home repairs and all those things that make up your lives, families, homes and country. The good part about Mars passing thru Cancer right now is all of the aspects it will make to the opposition of Pluto and Charon just before the New Moon. This is the last of three oppositions, the first in Cancer, then in Capricorn. The two previous oppositions occurred in Gemini and Sagittarius, on 9/21/07 and 1/2/08 respectively.

Wednesday the 12th Venus will begin her annual adventure in the land of Pisces. This is the time you open our senses to the worlds around us and you grow. As children you were taught to narrow your senses to focus on the things the adults in your world deemed important. Every introduction of a new authority figure helped you to see the world as they perceived it. What does your world really look like? The more you allow yourself to align to what you truly value the better you can use this opportunity to rediscover your world. Remember as Cayce said “Mind is the builder.”

On the 15th Mercury will end his 2 month long sojourn through Aquarius, to enter into the land of Pisces. You have had two months to learn how to play well with others and now you will get an opportunity to try out your new skills. When the Sun, Mercury and Venus are in Pisces together you get a triple dose of that empathic, psychic energy Pisces is so well known for. Don’t forget to highlight these energies with the long term effects of Uranus’s slow transit of Pisces which is really electrifying the waters.

Late on the evening of the19th and the early morning of the 20th the Sun will enter Aries.

This is a time many believe to be the beginning of the New Year, the Astrological New Year. You are made new, no matter what sign you are born under. The birth of new life that energetically burst into our world at this time of year affects us all. Allow yourself to feel born anew.
 
 

PLANETARY Motion
  

What can I say?  Saturn remains retrograde in Virgo; this will go on through the beginning of May giving you just that much longer to get your foundations in order.  No other Planets are retrograde this month. With all the planets presently direct of motion and Saturn retrograde the Universe is giving you a big green light. How will you use it?

The New Moon is March 6th, 11:14 AM CST, 17° 30" Minutes of Pisces.

  

This is an excellent New Moon if you are interested in transcending a certain aspect of your life.  The energies are such (Venus conjunct Neptune, Mars oppose Pluto, Uranus conjunct the Moon and Sun), that you have a better than ever opportunity to see your place in the big picture.  You get a reset with every new moon.  The power of these planets in this configuration cannot be underestimated.
 

The Full Moon is March 21st  1:40 PM CDT, 1° 30" minutes of Libra

  

This is the first Full Moon following the Vernal Equinox; the Sunday that follows will be Easter.  Mars is opposed, Pluto squares the Sun and Moon, a Grand Cross in Cardinal signs.  With a full bloom on the energy you have available at this time you get one more extra burst to help you along.  In early April, Mars will return to 12° of Cancer, the same point he reached on the 15th of November.  Get your projects in order and really start moving them along.
