We enter March in the Eclipse Wormhole, a cosmic portal between two vastly different realities that will complete on the New Moon in Taurus on April 27. With five planets and the North Node of Fate in Pisces you may be in a high frequency realm of inner visions, imagination or dreams – or lost at sea in confusion or worry (lower frequency). It’s important to stay high by remembering that All is in Divine Order during chaotic times so as not to get emotionally hooked by external dramas. Be Spock. Be an observer.
The Pisces lineup represents completions, endings and clearings re: what no longer serves your Highest Good to create space for the new to arrive in the coming months via awakenings and other special deliveries. None of the planets are moving much right now, so just notice what you notice about what’s working/what’s not working, as you prepare for course corrections during the Retrogrades.
Mars in sensitive Cancer turned Direct on Feb 23, but the planet of action will sit at 17º until March 10, in slo-mo with little propulsion yet.
March 1 – Mercury conjunct North Node in Pisces. This can bring divine downloads, important messages, new info that redirects your thinking, fated encounters and connections, insights, guidance or learning that moves you toward your Highest Good, which you may not know until later. Divine alignment…
March 1 – Venus Stations Retrograde in Aries until March 26, then Retrograde in Pisces March 27-April 12.
Venus Retrograde is a sacred reset of everything Venusian – your feminine aspects and how you operate from that space. Venus rules what you value and how you value your Self, as well as what makes life worth living for YOU. Venus is a major part of your story, as it influences your quality of life, what you believe you deserve or can have (worthiness), as it rules relationships, $$, love, creativity, beauty, style, aesthetics and pleasure.
Venus in Aries is Self-centered, goes for what it wants, is independent and autonomous. It doesn’t ask for permission, seek approval or agreement; it’s bold, dynamic, passionate and direct. Venus in Aries is not reflective by nature – it’s fiery, impulsively trusts and pursues its desires. I encourage you to examine your values to see if you’re aligned with what you really want – and at what level (material, emotional, mental, spiritual).
What is your love language (words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, physical touch, quality time)? These are clues about who you really are. If you have a partner, do they know your love language?
Consider if your relationships are fulfilling, if giving and receiving is in balance for you, if you’re paid what you’re worth for your work and how you feel about your Self in general. You may be a creative who was told you couldn’t make $$ being an artist, so you got a “real” job – or maybe you were influenced to become or do things because it made others happy. Think about where you have sacrificed your heart’s desires for the sake of harmony in relationships or because of your conditioned beliefs about who you should be.
Whether it’s you, your relationship, your budget or any aspect of life that’s weighing on your heart, this is the time for a course correction (even if you don’t know what that is yet). Check to see if you have enough fun and socializing in your life. Whatever’s missing – you first have to identify it in order for a solution to appear. Journal or find a way to organize your thoughts and you may find that you download ideas you didn’t know you had if you’re willing to get real and feel the missing pieces…
Also, old loves may pop up during Venus Retrograde – and if you reconnect with them you will likely remember why you separated when Venus goes Direct (if not before). You may find lost items (jewelry, heirlooms, art, clothing), and it’s a good time to make amends if needed. Don’t do anything permanent (tattoos, cosmetic surgery, new drastic hair cut) as it may go awry or you may be sorry after Venus turns Direct.
You’ve got forty days of Venus Retrograde, an opportunity to rediscover your heart’s true beauty and magic, the expression of which may have evolved since you last checked. When you know how special you truly are, you will be amazed – and when your heart is full of love, you will radiate pure Light.
The goal is fulfilling your Divine Potential, and a full heart will bring you there. The myth is that if you give enough, that’s the recipe for well being, but I think it’s the recipe for burnout, and I’m an advocate of giving AND receiving. My tribe is “givers” who need to practice receiving! Consider receiving (an open heart chakra) a spiritual practice and see how your life changes…
March 2 – Mercury conjunct Neptune. A nonlinear combo that supports experiential activities, spiritual practices, creative pursuits, leisure, nature, rest and rejuvenation. This is especially good for writing, music, channeling, movies and all right-brained activities, as well as compassionate service. So creative, connected and spiritual – beautiful energy!
Sun square Jupiter. Upbeat, expansive energy, optimistic, big picture, confident and high energy – can be a little over the top, but it goes to a good time or possibilities. With Mercury-Neptune, there are no boundaries today, so this day feels like infinite potential – great for creativity, brainstorming, networking, socializing, generating new paradigms.
March 3 – Mercury in Aries. Mercury is clear in Aries, direct, quick-thinking and an independent decision maker. However, Mercury will turn Retrograde on March 15 and it will retrace these steps, so everything that’s happening now and going forward will be reviewed later in the month and eventually Mercury will Retrograde into Pisces in late March and April. So although you may be hot to trot, slow down, think things through, get receipts and know the return policy for anything you buy and don’t be too attached to any idea, as it may be reworked or course corrected later. Know that so you aren’t shocked if it happens later.
March 5 – Mercury sextile Pluto. This is very focused and productive energy for taking care of business. Grounded, able to handle details with clarity, strategic, solution-oriented, connected and stable. This is the day for any major project or a heavy workload that requires stamina, has a deadlines and demands reliable communications. A gift.
What a way to begin the month of March. Venus Retrograde asks you to reevaluate your heart’s desires and your lovability which is very 3D – but the truth is on a higher level, You are loved just as you are. This Venus Retrograde is a sacred recalibration.
Here in Earth School, there’s so much to learn and experience – and you signed up to be here for the dramatic process of planetary evolution when all the outer planets except Pluto change signs over the next four months. This is leading to a new world that we can’t envision yet, so we have to stay tuned…
Take good care of your beautiful Self – and of each other.
As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
