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.

The final week of February is a watery respite with four planets and the North Node of Fate in sensitive Pisces that creates flow, visions, compassion and attunement to higher frequencies if you’re mastering your energy management in these dynamic times.

Feb 23 – Mars Stations Direct in emotional Cancer. Full of fire, ready to launch, but not moving forward for weeks, so you may experience frustration if you try to direct your energy outward in the external world.

You can use this Mars in Cancer energy to focus on your deepest needs, for impeccable Self-care and to create a nourishing/nurturing personal life. Rather than making things happen “out there,” put energy into filling your own well, so that you are operating from a space of fullness and well being. It is so easy to become depleted by daily living if you’re not vigilant… let Mars in Cancer be your caretaker.

Feb 23 – Mercury trine Mars. Mental activity, ideas for progress, creating, investigation – putting attention on something that attracts you, communications and conversations that are stimulating and connected. Journal and see what bright ideas come through. This is a great use of intuitive energy on the Mars Station Direct.

Feb 25 – Mercury conjunct Saturn. Good day to take care of business, sign papers, make decisions, make schedules, book travel, handle to do lists. Reality check re: boundaries, budgets, plans. What will serve you in the long run? Also, a great time to begin a writing project or to have an important conversation. Serious. Practical. With an eye on the future. Or helpful energy for cutting back and eliminating anything that is old, dragging you down, in the way, complete, creating clutter. Lighten your load. Let it go.

Feb 27 – Mercury sextile Uranus. This is a lively, unexpected, stretch – an out of the box Mercury that is going beyond the usual, seeking stimulation, innovation, excitement, avant-garde ideas, people, places, things. Ready for something out of the ordinary – art, conversation, style, books, a cafe – something different that’s a turn on or a pick-me-up!

Feb 27 – New Moon in Pisces @ 4:45 pm PST. This is a time for setting intentions regarding what you want to call into your life in the coming month. However, this is also the beginning of the Eclipse Wormhole (a short distance between two vastly different realities), so it’s the beginning of a wild card period and we have no idea what the upcoming energies will bring… but they’re likely going to be jumping timelines and moving things all around, so be prepared to be flexible, trust that All is in Divine Order and trust your Self.

There are five planets in Pisces and the North Node of Destiny on this New Moon, which is a lot of Pisces energy – nonlinear, out of this world, dreamy, mystical, calling in rest, to rejuvenate, to daydream, to wonder or wander with no timeline or goal. Miraculous things can happen if you allow them to without the mind interfering by questioning or doubting the path.

Check out Julia Cameron’s “Artist’s Date” in her book, The Artist’s Way (Week 1). It is an amazing assignment that can be relaxing and stimulating simultaneously! It’s a creative exercise that is geared to what you are drawn to. I highly recommend… it goes to Self-discovery and you are continuously evolving…

Pisces rules intuition and the higher realms of consciousness, always your GPS, so attune to your Inner Guidance and heed the messages you receive. The Pisces goal is transcendence (beyond 3D drama) where All One.

Beliefs and stories will serve you when they’re in service to the frequency of love, so focus on raising your vibration to be free and to be open to changes that are coming. Your ego holds fear and resistance, but your evolving soul is on board for the adventure, as it brought you here now.

Practice being in flow, surrendering your attachment to the past, to what is leaving as you open to synchronicities and spiritual practices that stabilize and rebalance you.

Trust where you guided to go and know that when you’re on your path it will focus your attention in the correct way for you. Find your tribe – and be willing to look in some new places to meet the new people.

Pay attention to your dreams; they are clues in your consciousness that are seeds of your soul’s desires. Dreams and visions come in many forms (waking and sleeping), so open to uncovering that which is within you during this fertile time of downloads from the higher realms of your consciousness.  

Your inner knowing is a profound gift and it is exquisite for inner exploration, contemplation and connection. When you feel relaxed and expanded you’re on the right track. You’re in Pisces “school” all month, so go with it.

Feel what’s missing and what is aligned for you. Let yourself have a spiritual reboot and go within to nourish your senses and express or feed your imagination. Be spacious with yourself and others – and practice being in flow. 

If you don’t come from this world (a left-brain type), it’s an opportunity to develop parts of yourself that have been neglected. Faith in your Self and surrender is required to let go of control and to open to new ways of operating (consider it a science experiment :)). 

Pisces energy is ideal for meditation, being in nature, listening to beautiful music, creative activities, leisure or connecting with Spirit. A spiritual breakthrough is in alignment with this New Moon in Pisces energy that is the essence of Divine Love. Set your intention that you are open to a spiritual breakthrough and create a fertile space for that to occur if you desire (quiet, meditation, nature, dreams, journaling).

So enjoy this precious week of the Mars in Cancer Stationing Direct and the New Moon in Pisces. All the watery energy is inviting you into your feelings and your Higher Self, reminding you that you are a beautiful Being, worthy of LOVE. Yes you are.

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

The past few weeks were like a Uranian wrecking ball with shocks and norm-busting at warp speed. The work is to recalibrate your mind and nervous system to maintain your balance, as we are being stretched and strengthened. Om Shanti Om… 🙏🏼 🕉️ 💜

Mars Retrograde is basically standing still, preparing to turn Direct on Feb 23 and is in harmony with Saturn in Pisces, supporting concentrated effort, patience and actions that can create lasting results. You are putting down roots wherever you are taking methodical actions and the results of your efforts will bear fruit later.

Feb 14 – Mercury in Pisces. Mercury leaves rational Aquarius to move into sensitive Pisces, ruler of dreams (waking and sleeping), transcendence, compassion, empathy and Oneness. Multidimensional, flashes of knowing to subtle prompts that we must recognize to pick up. 

Mercury in Pisces is a channel to your Intuitive Guidance, the most empowering gift and skill ever – once you master your ability to tune in and trust it, it will never lead you astray. Mercury in Pisces is also abundant creative imagery, stellar for writing, storytelling, poetry and photography – all forms of communication, especially non-verbal, and for visioning your future. I say, “If it’s in your consciousness, it’s meant for you.” 

Whatever takes you beyond your linear mind and opens you to a higher space that is fertile and rich with imagination is the realm of Mercury in Pisces. Artists, spiritual practitioners, and writers are well served by this energy. Just be mindful to stay high and don’t fall down a rabbit hole in fear or worry (a misuse of imagination, a Mercury in Pisces shadow).

Feb 18 – Sun in Pisces. As the Sun enters mystical Pisces, we usually feel a distinct shift in the collective, but we already have Mercury, Saturn, the North Node of Destiny and Neptune in sensitive Pisces, so this area of the zodiac is already ripe with potential for transcendence beyond the 3D, for awakening, readiness to release what’s complete or what has been outgrown, and to hold space for the dreams to come – and maybe everything everywhere all at once (multidimensional). 

Pisces is yin energy, totally receptive with no boundaries – and with the major chaos occurring right now, the Pisces lineup feels it. Therefore (depending on your chart), you may feel exhausted or like you’re floating with no clear direction – and if that’s so, don’t try to force a solution. You may be in the midst of an unwinding, in which old ego structures are being dissolved. Or maybe you are highly sensitive and aren’t in a supportive environment at this time. Or you may need a healer or advisor to help to lift you out of a lower frequency (confusion, stuck energy). Gently honor your rhythm and allow yourself to receive the care you need. 

On the other hand, because the Pisces Sun is co-ruled by Jupiter in Gemini, you may feel hopeful and ready to grow ideas that you are incubating. You may be inspired to offer your gifts as a healing or solution for a problem, having faith in your abilities and contributions. If so, use the inspiration to work on the project, but know that we’ll have two Retrogrades (Venus and Mercury) in March, as well as two Eclipses, so it’s not the time to launch a new project just yet, as things will change. Keep working on what you’ve got and you’ll be ready when the time is right. 

Feb 20 – Mercury square Jupiter. Big dreams and big ideas. Oh boy, this is the ultimate brainstorming or networking aspect! Expansive, visionary, optimistic, amazing plans, but probably lacking some practical aspects or details. Great for creativity, but not for exchanging $$, signing contracts or making commitments. It’s a square. Something will probably be missing. But you will have so much fun creating the framework, the plan, gathering the crew – whatever you do. Enjoy – it can lead to great things!

This week’s energy is considerably softer than where we’ve been and there are several possibilities as to where you go with it. You may feel inspired and tap into the higher realms, doing inner work, creative work, spiritual work or service work. You may use this time for rest and rejuvenation, for rehab, to restore your well being and retreat from the busy world. 

Or you may be in a space of confusion, fear, anxiety, worry, depression that is serious and you need support to help you out of it. If this is you, ask for help. It is all around you… do not sit with it by yourself. 

Pisces has an underlying faith that things will work out. Sometimes the faith is strong and clear – you know it and feel it, and sometimes it’s a whisper in the back of the mind. But it’s there. 

All is in Divine Order. Keep the faith. We’re just getting started…

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.

We open on a dramatic note following the extreme weather events in Los Angeles, activated on the heels of the Mars-Pluto opposition. Mars in Cancer is a perfect illustration of two sides of the coin – protecting what you love and homes/personal lives burning down. I’m exhausted from the hypervigilance of focusing on news, alerts, texts and the mental overload from packing, evacuating and moving around in a chaotic time – and it’s not over yet. 

Our local public servants and news teams in Los Angeles are stellar – informative, hardworking and courageous, in the trenches to be of service, while tireless firefighters, police and other unsung heroes fight to save lives, homes, animals and material items for the people. I bow to them all! They are the true Mars in Cancer warriors, fighting to protect the people they serve. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Jan 11 – The North Node in Pisces. The Nodes of Fate (or Destiny) move from Aries (North Node) and Libra (South Node) to Pisces and Virgo (South Node) until late July 2026. This is a major shift in terms of our focus as a collective.

The South Node is what you’re meant to move away from – and it’s the shadow side of a sign. With the South Node in Virgo, release your over-attachment to doing, perfectionism, overanalyzing, doing it all yourself (inability to receive), rigid routines, busyness, relentless critical Self-judgment. 

The North Node is what you want to move toward – and in Pisces it’s about being in flow, aligning with your own unique rhythm, feeling intuitively what’s right for you, going within to quiet your mind, being in nature, trusting in Divine Timing, knowing that All is in Divine Order and living from Spirit. 

Find spiritual practices that work for you and give yourself space for Being (as opposed to doing). If you are wound tightly, take baby steps to loosen up… There is no rush to get “there” – and what if there’s no such thing as doing it wrong or a making a mistake? If a plan goes awry, consider it an unintended outcome or a scenic detour… :)) Pisces is beyond the known linear mind and world, so don’t try to figure it out. You can’t. It is experiential.

Jan 12 – Mars trine Neptune. Mars in sensitive Cancer in harmony with compassionate Neptune moves most effectively via Wu Wei or effortless action, flowing around obstacles while being aligned with your environment. This is an intuitive way of operating by attuning to All That Is organically. Don’t push or stress, as that would be counterproductive. Just feel where the openings are and move through gently and deliberately. 

Jan 13 – Full Moon in Cancer @ 2:27pm PST. This Full Moon in Cancer brings up issues around emotional security, your home and personal life vs. the Sun in Capricorn, focused on ambition and professional achievement. It wants to accomplish something. A Full Moon is when something comes to light or it’s the culmination of things, so watch to see what shows up. 

Mars is conjunct the Cancer Moon that’s focused on your needs, security and feelings and can be impatient, defensive, protective or pushy, maybe setting boundaries. But Mars is still trine intuitive Neptune, softening its edges and dreaming a dream. You can put creative energy into whatever you desire.

Uranus harmonizes with the Sun and Moon, activating unexpected openings or alternatives to what you’ve done before; a future ripe with potential for creativity and imagination (Neptune), innovation (Uranus), that serves your growth and personal evolution. 

The North Node is conjoined with Neptune in Pisces inviting you to release old paradigms and open to dreams that hold infinite potential. If it’s in your consciousness, it’s meant for you. Don’t limit your Self by being realistic – be willing to transcend your old programming to open to new possibilities.

Jan 14 – Venus square Jupiter. This is about life’s pleasures, blessings, goodness, but may be just a little too much. Venus (love, pleasure, abundance) and Jupiter (more, expansion, optimism) in a square has no brakes. It can manifest as generosity, indulgence and spontaneity, but can lead to overspending, overdoing, etc. Enjoy and stay mindful.

Jan 15 – Sun opposite Mars. This is a high energy day when you or others may be competitive, driven, touchy or ripe for conflict, so easy does it. If you want to make use of the energy, channel it into a project that you can focus on to accomplish a task.

The Full Moon in Cancer asks you to nurture your Self and treat yourself with care. Spiritual practices are your support system and it’s up to you to cultivate the methods that work best for you. It may be as simple as listening to music or walking in nature. Flexibility, faith and creative solutions are the antidote whenever you feel out of control.

Find your way; that is your job as we move through various energies knowing that no matter what happens, you will land on your feet – and you will be led to places you never would have predicted. 

Don’t underestimate the revolution that’s happening within You! 

“Don’t push the river, it flows by itself.” ~ Chinese proverb

“An optimist expects his dreams to come true; a pessimist expects his nightmares to.” – Laurence J. Peter

“Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark.” ~ Agnes de Mille

“Let others vibrate as they vibrate and want the best for them. Never mind how they’re flowing to you. You concentrate on how you’re flowing.” ~ Abraham

As always, I am grateful for your presence on our journey together.
