☼ Sun’s Aries ingress tomorrow 10:28gmt coincides with the
Astrological New Year and the Losar lunation’s Last Quarter Tara –
Medicine Moon. __/❀\__♡ ☼
☆ A fiery Aries Sun at the ‘world
point’, means that most everyone notes an energetic shift, and a change
of seasons has either arrived, or is imminent. With Aries in square to
the Moon in her detriment, in Capricorn, conjunct Capricorn's ruler,
karmic Saturn, lord of obstacles and limitation, we may also be asking
ourselves how we got into situation(s)
we now face. If that is the case, take heart, even it seems like
squaring-up to the impossible to overcome, it’s important to know there
are many ways of clearing (karmic) obstacles. Mantra and visualization
meditation work well, as does doing good deeds, making amends, and
changing one’s mind to not repeat the negative. Given the antidote, we
also need to be disciplined and practical and be forever conscious of
what needs to be applied (in body, speech, or mind) so we needn’t feel
stuck, just as the Fire Bird year begins to spark into action.
☆ Saturn is currently on the Sagittarian degree that points directly
towards the centre of our Galaxy and, due to retrogrades, will be for
the most of 2017: a time to shine a light upon all matters of truth and
consequence. Time also to stake out boundaries that enable one to
encompass more Love, more Wisdom, and more Light.
☆ Just as the
season spring is associated with the colour green and the wind element,
so too is the green Arya Tara. With both Spring and Goddess Tara
associated with the generally fast-moving wind element, suggesting firm
conviction and a willingness to bring about speedy change that spirals
and grows into curious spaces, with a gentle kind of practical, feminine
devotion. This last quarter moon is therefore ideal to quickly make
conscious adjustments wherever needed: in the work place, within the
heart-mind - and to be in tune with our surroundings, ready for a New
Aries Moon 28th March, when the innovative and unusual may even be given
‘taskmaster’ Saturn’s magical seal of approval.

Happy Equinox Everyone! __/❀\__♡ ☼
…… Full Moon 22Virgo @14:53GMT (9:53EST) ……
☸ KARMA MULTIPLIED day (+ or - ) x 100 million ☸
This first Full Moon of the Tibetan year of the Red Female Fire Bird
celebrates a ‘Day of Miracles’, called ‘Chötrul Düchen’. Today we light
candles and make light offerings to commemorate Buddha’s miraculous
displays, which came about through his purification of thought, word and
deed, meditation and ethical mind-training, plus an accumulation of lifetimes of karmic merit.
☸ A magical Pisces stellium includes Spirit Sun with oceanic Neptune,
accenting boundless hidden spiritual strength, collective undercurrents,
and the karmic imprints of an entire soul group. Next to the prayerful
Pisces Sun are asteroids Pallas Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, strategy and
war; together with Chiron, the solar systems’ psychic kundalini Shaman,
they imply feminine wisdom is now key to healing accidental emotional
wounds.
Close to Sun is the celestial messenger, Mercury, also
in psychedelic Pisces. Poetic and romantically fuelled by spiritual
oneness, Mercury in watery Pisces is suited to the meditation cushion,
in order to find the mind's true inner nature is a radiant and bright,
with a heart brimming with unconditional Love.
Spiritual care
and rational creativity now have the potential to be enhanced by this
Full Moon in Virgo, where the Virgin Goddess offers as a duty a
practical compassion, lifting the normal and everyday into the realms of
sublime and supernatural.
☸ By tuning into our softer feminine
side we can also create personal miracles that can heal physically,
mentally and spiritually. However small an act of kindness may be, it
can affect the wellbeing of others, even worlds unseen or unseen… 
🙏 🙏 🙏

For 40 days and 40 nights, the seductive Goddess of Love and all things beautiful, Venus, is Retrograde from 4th March – 15th April, activating the 5-pointed star she makes in the heavens every eight years.
Currently in fiery, go-getting Aries, Venus is set to return to the
more sensitive and bewitching Pisces, the sign of forfeit, forgiveness
and the out-of-this-world phantasmagorical.
This is a
challenging retrograde for Venus, due to being in her ‘fall’ in ardent,
self-orientated Aries (always a bit tricky in relationship where good
connections generally require thinking of others as well). But while
Venus is just now in hot pursuit of passionate love, she is also set to
return to her finest exaltation, in the more universally aware Pisces,
to discover a compassionate, kinder heart.
This Venus
retrograde, with her burden of competitive ego, reveals a not-so-secret
addiction to the kind of love where ‘self’ is abandoned into the
overwhelming feeling of oneness and unity consciousness a Piscean Venus
generates. Reviewing the interconnection with universe, and surrounding
oneself by the all-consuming power of unconditional Divine love, with
Venus at her exalted degree of 27Pisces, shows how this cosmic kind of
love really switches on the illumination button: enlightenment, but
without getting seduced by glamour or fooled by illusion which we would
call 'spiritual materialism'.
To put this transit into the
context of your own personal life-cycle count back eight years, to March
2009. As then, this is another inferior conjunction of Venus with the
Sun on March 25th, just days after Spring Equinox, and only one day
after a dynamic New Aries Moon! A new day dawns for Venus in her Piscean
exaltation, as she lies between Earth and Sun, when cosmic love reigns
supreme in all relations – even if it means making a personal sacrifice
for the greater good of the whole.
With ℒℴѵℯ _/✿\_ & thanks to Tashi Mannox for his beautiful ‘PaniStar’_/\_ 
Within his five-pointed star is painted a mantra of Vajrapani, a
powerful Bodhisattva, protector and remover of obstacles, inner and
outer.
We may well need all the help we can get to remove certain stubborn obstacles, specifically those that prevent us seeing the value of self-Love, as Mercury also goes retrograde for the last five days of Venus retrograde to challenge a variety of value systems, of which unconditional Love is the highest.
