Awakening the Spiritual Warrior ~ Equinox Full Moon March'19

Awakening the Spiritual Warrior

Equinox Full SuperMoon 0° 09’Libra @1:43am GMT

“Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the light of love that lives within it.” —Guy Finley

The air positively crackles with the buzz of activity, all-the-while streaming elemental winds zap up to speed as the centre of our solar system, the Sun, reaches its’ all-important turning point, 0° Aries. At the same time, the ‘Full Awakening SuperMoon’ creates a powerful interaction between Sun, Moon and Earth, opening the way for the ‘Light of Life’ itself to energise our heart-mind and body, and quickly fire-up our own stamina and strength, too.

The sign of the highly-charged Ram is the first sign of the zodiac, kick starting the Astrological year at Vernal Equinox, equal-day and equal-night, as the Sun enters Aries. On Wednesday 20th March, at 21:58gmt, this Aries Equinox is also extra deLIGHTful, primarily because it takes place just a few hours before the hyperactive ‘Awakening Full Moon’ – making this a doubly illuminating and (spiritually) rousing Full Libra Moon, Thursday 21st March @1:43am. At just 0°degress and 9 seconds, ‘The Lights’ align perfectly along the ‘world point’ axis of equinoctial balance of light, meaning everyone senses the need for harmony, peace and love, as well as personal healing space.

☆ Taking care of oneself is mega pertinent now, as it is the first time an exalted Aries Sun has shone consciousness raising rays upon Shamanic Chiron for over fifty years. At 1° Aries, Chiron’s conjunction with Spirit Sun is tight. It has, in fact, been since May ‘68 that a glorious Spiritual Warrior shared the celestial spotlight with the Wounded Healer, Chiron.

Chiron is the astral alchemist to also accent how we are prepared to do our best in whatever circumstance, and how we are now prepared to soldier forward and carry on regardless of any (self-inflicted) suffering. This is the Awakening Moon, after all. So it is time now to be aware of our innate Buddha nature and enlightened activity. Indeed Buddha's name means the Awakened One.

For some, it might be a quick access to the healing found within, for others might be a slow awakening, as Chiron is in Aries for the next seven years. It isn’t easy coming to terms with some wounds; generate courage to stay on track and know there is always a way to come out of painful periods in our lives and loves. Some may see how fault lines in relationship or cracks in personality are, in actual fact, where the light gets in – and some wounds are positively character forming, as they give a person a chance to develop personal insight and humility, as well as empathy and compassion for others.

☆ An awakened Libra Supermoon reminds us loving kindness (to self and others) coupled with gentle but sustained enthusiasm is a key to personal growth and success. Because everywhere we go, this modern world still wants a piece of who we are, and any merry dance into the realms of illusion and chaos can be both physically and mentally exhausting and exasperating; not to mention confusing – as indicated by the long (and sleepy) sojourn of the Mercury Retrograde conjunction between the planet of communication and Neptune in Pisces, planet of dreams and illusion, forgiveness and faith (see last months’ Full Miracle Moon’ astro report for more detail).

Suffice to say that while Sun and Chiron are movement orientated and all about staying alive, Mercury and Neptune in Pisces are meditative by nature. Diving deep into the heartmind to recognise the sacredness of reality and the nature of impermanence; aware and mindful of how each moment is full of wonder to be cherished, one can let go of past hurt, or expectations that keep us clinging to an untenable future. This lingering conjunction of Mercury with Neptune suggests such realisation is not an overnight revelation. Nonetheless, Mercury will be conjunct Neptune for another few weeks to have many a mindful and ‘awakened’ perceptiveness; or just continue having the wool pulled over one’s eyes. 

☆ Interestingly before the moon culminates in Libra, Luna is Queen of the Heavens in Virgo, the larger than ordinary Moon of the Sacred Goddess. At this point the Moon is also perigee syzygy, and so we have the last Full SuperMoon of the year*. Remember how the Moon always works in three’s. Just as we have had January, February and now March as SuperMoons; with February’s Moon closest, this moon is still bigger than normal! Also thrice bound we have the three-night Lunar influence,starting before the Full Moon, which often ‘feels’ the strongest, i.e. an dynamic Equinox Aries Sun with a Virgo Moon reflecting the need for personal organisation, for instance. On the actual nigh nearest the time of culmination we can experience result and realisation: and with the Libra Moon a chance to becalm and show fairness and goodwill. The third night of the Full Moon is followed by further release with a dissemination of light, already shifting into Moon’s darker and more feminine cycle, with a few days more of strong tidal flows that are higher than usual – especially with a supermoon.

☽☼☾But before we head-bang Aries Sun style into all the planetary aspects constellating at this time, it is also good to know how this is actually the first of two Full Moon in Libra. The second Full Moon April 19^th is when Sun and Moon will be at 29 ° Aries and Libra respectively; and the divine ‘Light of Life’ again stimulates the Sacred Shamanic Warrior to balance head AND heart with certain familiarisation and mirror-like wisdom. A second Full Moon in a zodiacal sign is called a ‘Zodiacal Blue Moon’ – a ‘Krishna Moon’ or ‘Christ Moon’, radiating consciousness and love for all, including self (Indeed, this may well be the origination of the ‘Blue Moon’ concept, due to Vedic Krishna’s royal blue colour.).

Also there are two reasons Easter is so late this year. On reason is that the Church stipulates Spring Equinox to be on 21st March (when this year it is on the 20th); the second reason is because of this second Aries-Libra Moon. Generally the first Sunday after the Aries-Libra Full Moon after the Spring Equinox is Easter, but as this is the Zodiacal Blue Moon, Easter will be late, but fertility will be heightened over the whole period.

☆ At this very first Full Libra SuperMoon, it has to be noted how there are many exciting astrological aspects within this Awakened Moon horoscope, with Luna featuring in a myriad of different celestial signatures that can make our emotional world a place of sanctuary and beauty. Reflecting the light of the Equinox Sun, Luna is so dominant it features in almost every major aspect within this Full Libra SuperMoon horoscope. This is also the last of five moons at 0°; but the 4^th of 5 moons as ‘Singleton’**; this time the initiating Libra Moon is in a partnership orientated sign, working harmoniously as the driver of a locomotive shaped chart, meaning as a singleton, the Moon has enormous sway.

In a world full of emotion, the smart feminine influence of the Moon in Libra indicates that just law, peace and love, can carry us as through choppy situations, as a mother would her child. Beauty and poise keep everything together in relationships – a feat in these interesting times, and quite something to behold. As least we get another Libra Moon in a moonth’s time to measure our personal smarts, style and class. Our next Libra Moon is also the last of the ‘Singletons’ and after that we won’t be able to blame mass hysteria or populism for our own emotional distractions.

☆ Also at this Equinox Full Moon, the Libra Moon, as a glamourous mother swings the handle of a cosmic cradle that heads a stabilising ‘Grand Trine’; two fantastic ‘Kite formations’ that indicate high-flying ambitions; a ‘Mystic Rectangle’ to enhance practical magic in the areas of justice, peace and love; Luna is also challenged by the out-of-sign T-Square with Sun, Moon and Jupiter: time now to have faith, and go beyond ordinary confines when aiming for major reconciliation and restoration. Being urged to think big is not only because Jupiter is in the T-Square, but Zeus is also coming up to the Galactic Centre, demanding we stay on course and air high; as well as Jupiter is also currently conjunct ‘Fixed Star’ Ras Alhague, the star which only compounds the desire to successfully heal wounds.

Basically, the influence of the cool and poised Libra Moon is everywhere, promoting just law, creative (healing) art, and harmonious relationships.

☆ Opposite the Moon is the Equinox Sun, exalted in Aries. And as Spirit Sun gains in strength and brilliance so does ‘the physical self’.  This is a heartfelt Full Moon that facilitates cures and concern, and long thoughtful moments which enable one to confront any fears, working patiently and with care within a seemingly dark but collective psyche by transforming its karmic inheritance.

Be aware how there is now a particularly powerful mass soul consciousness currently stabilising and transmuting a heavy legacy left by pollutocrats. By 2020 it will be even more obvious how governing bodies work – or not – with the collective tide which is converting obsolete consumerism to a more sustainable lifestyle. #Trashtag is brilliant – thank you to everyone! Astro note: Saturn conjunct Pluto is part of a long cycle which began 1982, with a half way point 2001, and completing-starting again 2020. Both are now conjunct the South Node, Ketu, the Dragon’s Tail, in Capricorn sea goat (!). Pluto has a habit of completing karma, while Saturn is the Lord of Karma, and the Capricorn South Node represents clinging to a materialistic past karma. This powerful trio is in for the long haul, transiting together until October, with July being the concentration of collective karmic transformation coming about from a gentle and more caring approach to life and resources.

☆ Lastly, this Full Libra Moon also marks the ‘International day of Happiness’ AND ‘Holi’, the Hindu ‘Festival of Colour’, plus No Roz, the ancient Persian New Year, and the start of the Tibetan Kalachakra Time Wheel. Wowee: that’s spinning a smiley, bright and mindful, new-start astro circle. For reference points in time, we had a similar Equinox Full Moon combination, i.e. a collective ‘Happiness Colour Awakening’ back at the turn of the century, 2000, before that 1981, and the next is 2038.  Those who think orange, green, pink or blue is the new black could well be riding the rainbow this Full Moon: it has that shiny, happy, people kind of feel. Yes, it really is that promising. For others, however, black will always be the new black.

Have a great Lunar awakening y’all!

“Awakening is dynamic,
Constantly evolving in accordance with life’s realities ~
Unfolding from ego-self to compassionate self,
From enclosed self to open self,
From foolish self to enlightened self.”

* The next set of three perigee moons will be New Moons; thus New SuperMoons July, August, Sept, peaking August with gravitational tides, geomagnetic storms, solar activity, etc.

The Anthropocene Age & the invention of plastic

Turn on that old vintage plastic radio and hear ye! With plastic pollution everywhere, literally everywhere, even in the human fetus, I began to wonder what is the astrological symbol of an such insidiousness 'Anthropocene Age', apart from the all-consuming Neptune, Pisces and 12th house connections. 

As usual, to answer an astrolgers' question it begins with finding a date and looking at a chart, or in this case, charts. Astrology is all about timing. So the logical question regarding this plastic age is, when did it start? I am not saying the dates I propose are 'it' i.e. the beginning of the Anthropocene age, but to my mind, one that has worked with plastic when I was at art school in the 70's and during my 80's special fx art dept days, as well as having to know the difference between early plastic, i.e. bakelite and bois durci when now looking at antiques, all the following dates must be taken into account.

The first, because it is truly synthetic, is the invention of Bakelite 
Patented Dec 7 1909
The chart is timed for when the patent office would open.

There's much astrological symbolism to be gleaned here, not least Eris in Pisces, Neptune opposite Uranus @19 Cap (key point imho for where we are now with the Saturn/Pluto/South Node (clearing karmic blocks), plus the Sun/Mercury Opp Pluto - and the Mars at 0 Aries.

There is also the solar chart for the Inventor
Leo Baekeland: The Father of The Plastics Industry: 

 With his death chart:

Followed by a solar chart award from the American Chemical Society

Put them all together...                           

For the moment I do not want to say too much about these dates, as there is so much symbolism to be read in them, especially the award chart. But I am going to say that we need to address the plastic situation now, and leave the charts here without any blame attached to anyone for this awful mess we humans have got ourselves into...

Now. How do we get out of it?... Where are the clues - and commitment to do so? Is it with the youth? It certainly doesn't seem to be with the powers who create the pollution problems in the first place.

Chiron in Aries 2019 -2026

"The Self unfolds itself for its Self"

Bhagavad Gita 

The art of being you, or the importance of the innate power of healing that lies within you, is now astrologically enhanced by Shamanic Chiron, shapeshifting into Aries, the sign of the ‘self’, i.e. how you perceive and present yourself is now up for a major boost in healing wisdom. Check where Aries, the sign of the head-butting Ram, is in your chart, because that’s where a celestial Spiritual Healing Warrior is nudging you into shamanic-style action. With a a 51-year cycle that will shift into Aries Feb 18th 2019, asteroid Chiron flows from watery Pisces into fiery Aries.

Chironic healing imports detox from poisonous addictions (drugs, alcohol, sugar, oil, phones, toxic people or ideas and situations); and in Aries Chiron urges us to be heroically in charge of our own sunny self, and to deal with hurt and harms and heal any overwhelm; and, perhaps most pertinently, to heal personal identity issues and the child within, be that physically, intellectually, psychically or spiritually, so that one can transform any suffering.

Chiron's healing gifts were taught to him by Apollo, the Sun God, who raised this mythical centaur: half Greek God, half horse, Chiron is portrayed muscular and strong. But Chiron is also socially withdrawn from the mainstream, preferring the world of dreamers and outsiders, such as those who enjoy their own company, poetic, musical, and kind yet wild. Considered just, wise and gentle, Chiron is the wounded Shaman cast out from the world of patriarchal elite, even though ‘Time Lord’ Saturn is his father. Mostly-man and half-beast, there are sometimes human front legs found in Greek depiction.

Chiron is also bestowed the skill of prophecy; and his own timeless wisdom is often found to be prominent in the horoscope of those who have a deep appreciation and love of nature and the healing arts. Spiritually connecting to the inner-self and healing through music, poetry, dreams, herbs, snake medicine (Kundalini), as well as through the incredible purifying power of water. Chiron's skills are compounded by proficient archery: he can hit the bullseye in an instant. This bright and sharp sighted astral alchemist will now stay in martial Aries, as a self-initiated Spiritual Healing Warrior, to activate and direct self-healing for seven years, only leaving April 2026.

Chiron in Aries points to, and strengthens, the Shamanic Healer’s intellect, i.e. by using one’s head (the part of the body ruled by Aries) to heal what needs to be cured and reconciled within in our most physical, immediate world, i.e. right now - at this very moment, even within the body: right view, right intention and right thought are crucial. Time now to perhaps instigate a fitness program. How we present our understanding of our ego-orientated selves to the natural world, now that requires a child-like wonder.

Be aware however, that notions and theories are just that: ideas and concepts can make reconcile personal identity within collective values easier, but not the true you.

For the next seven years, with Shamanic Chiron’s move into impulsive Aries, comes the chance-cum-challenge for each of us to become our own personal brave heroes, making our own individual quest one of healing our human self from generations (or centuries of poison and pollution), and to make a confident new start and therefore contribute to a faster, stronger healing (Aries is a sign that likes to move quickly). Hopefully, there will not be too many fast-moving and self-induced speeding accidents along the way. A certain beloved Rinpoche always would say 'Speed is Aggression'. And Chironic wounds are generally accidental, usually imposed by or born out of ignorance and carelessness, or even an immature longing to have or show 'what's meant to be mine'. We will need to watch out for this impetuous child within, blundering along with its' childish tricks and wants. But even if we do put our foot or hoof in it, just remember that it is through pain and suffering how the wounded-healer heals and develops compassion, by overcoming such (self) inflicted wounds. Chiron is even able to commune with the Spirits of the land, sea and air, those seen or unseen, making pacts with the Gods in order to heal and end any suffering.

In the sign of Aries, positive Chironic healing is also rapid - and daring. Negatively, it can also indicate fast moving harm. Implementing measures that quickly adjust the view and/or perception we have of ourselves, especially in relationship as an individual within our peer-connected friendship circle will mark the emergence of the Spiritual Healing Warrior - someone who is at ease within, able to self-heal the mind (even if the body has other karma), and who is willing to fight for a cause that protects each precious rebirth with confidence, wisdom, and loving kindness.

As the quote from the Bhagavad Gita 'the self unfolds for itself' indicates: within the self-motivating individual self there is also the diverse unity within all that is.

Tara Moon ~> Venus & Uranus March 19

With the Moon now in Sagittarius, the last quarter Tara – Medicine Moon indicates wisdom in action before the dynamic New Moon, only a week away March 6th. 

In Tibetan astro-science Venus is considered to be Tara’s ‘star’. One of the brightest celestial orbs, Venus is known in astrology as ‘Queen of the Heavens’; she is also the ruler of Taurus, the same sign into which the planet of change, freedom-loving Uranus is moving into on the New Moon. Airy Venus has featured in all Uranus’ recent moves; as such it’s crucial to watch Venus whens she interacts with Uranus over the coming years, as issues of freedom and changes to everyday values come to our attention. 

Like Tara, the ‘Great Mother Liberator’, Venus is the planet of love, creating balance and harmony, fairness and fertility, peace and love. Venus in Capricorn is currently holding steadily to tradition, charming those with sway and control with beauty and brains, experience and dedication. While Venus reaches the degree of the sign of Mars’s exaltation (28 Capricorn), Mars is in Venus’s home sign, Taurus. Thus the cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, can at least get along politely and connect diplomatically over a glass of something smooth, even if there are other kinds of relationship tension. 

At the New Moon, however, a foremost feminine principal comes into sharper context, as Goddess Venus enters into Aquarius for a three-week period of 'mutual reception’ with socially minded Uranus highlighting our kindred spirits, human rights and natures’ freedom: beginning March 1st Venus moves into Aquarius, the sign rules by Uranus, all-the-while Uranus is in Taurus, the sign which rules Venus. This Uranus-Venus 'freedom-closeness dilemma' is a major theme even to be continued whenl Uranus leaves Taurus 2027, and enters Gemini, conjuncts Venus at 0degrees of the sign of the twins: a change in understanding duality, perhaps ;) . 

Don't get confused now. Know your rights, and remember that love is all. Because this is basically a time for diplomacy when implementing wisdom-in-action. Get ready now: March will be quite a serious and busy time for the Sacred Goddess! 

Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha! 🙏🤩🕉💚💜

and Mercury will be retrograde!

Day of Miracles ~ Great Light Festival ~ Wheel Turning day 2019

The Heroic Lion’s Roar ~>Awakening the Spiritual Warrior

“A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown”. Tom Hanks

The first month of the voracious and fertile Earth Sow year shows initial promise bestowing magical light blessings that inspire and culminate with a fantastic Full Virgo Super Moon, Tuesday 19^th (or 20^th) February at 16:53 GMT.  This Full SuperMoon reflects the light of the Sun in watery Pisces, and will look larger than usual, impacting upon (emotional) tides for up to a week after Luna’s climax.

Should anyone offer you a metaphoric surfboard to ride overwhelming or choppy emotional waves, it is a realistic Virgoan influence that makes sure you can first swim before jetting through a rip tide with slip-sliding, groovy moves.

Whatever you are doing over the coming Full SuperMoon, get ready to be super versatile, especially when venturing into unchartered territory. At 0° Virgo, the Full Super Moon has a changeable and versatile quality which highlights the feminine strength of devoted LOVE WISDOM in action, a bit like an exotic temple filled with Italian Mama’s making sure you have eaten, slept, and loved enough.

This Supermoon also spotlights collective undercurrents as well as personal welfare and happiness – especially at work. As the sign of the Fish is an all-consuming, all embracing collective sign, it’s possible many will also intuit the imperative (Virgoan) need to heal underlying toxic turmoil. Pisces can be easily lost in artistic creativity (or by hypnotised manipulation) and tends to spill-out, leaving the environmentally aware and pragmatic Virgo to mop-up the mess. In any event, if it all gets too much then this Full SuperMoon will provide the opportunity to fill your life with meaningful activity, be of service and dedicate karmic merit to the benefit of others.

As well as being deeply mystical, psychic Pisces is sensitive and compassionate, poetic and oceanic in feeling, the Fish shows how we struggle on fuelled by devotion (or confusion looking for confirmation and acceptance), while the virtuous Virgo is compact, organised and, dare I say, almost perfect in her nature.  

·✰·  To help the Goddess on her quest for perfection, this Full SuperMoon also conjuncts one of four ancient ‘guardians’, Royal Fixed Stars, Regulus. A heroic ‘Lion Heart’ star of the first magnitude, Regulus moved by precession into the sign of the Sacred Goddess, Virgo, in 2012.

Planets conjunct Regulus indicate valiant courage and supreme success. Regulus is the ‘Watcher of the North’, a direction associated with accomplishment and recognition. The Moon with Regulus tends to make women ambitious, highly-spirited and independent. There is, however, a caution to beware false friends and enemies. Wherever 0° Virgo lies in your own individual horoscope, it is where honour, wealth and brilliant feminine wisdom is often revealed and where there is also the potential for unbridled success – but only as long as the intention is pure; should the motivation be revenge or anger, any success is short-lived.

·✰· Another interesting observation is how this SuperMoon is in the position of being another ‘Handle’ or ‘Singleton’. In fact, for the first four Full Moons of 2019, the Moon is a stand-alone ‘singleton’ at these powerful solar-lunar moments, when consciousness aligns with the subconscious. With the Moon representing our sub-conscious, as a singleton it means sensitive but smart Luna intuitively grips the rest of the ‘bucket-shaped’ horoscope. As such, memories are based upon our feelings about certain events, people and/or things, which are held in sharper emotional focus, in this case in order to be rejuvenated, restored and revitalised.

In mundane astrology, the Moon represents ‘the people’, which is significant these days politically. The mood of the masses can now reveal a helpful and sensible feminine wisdom, also giving the general public enormous influence. 

·✰·  Also coinciding with the Full Super are two major long-term celestial influences now dramatically changing by leaving signs they will not visit again for 50 years – and more. How these changes impact upon our lives will rely upon several factors, including our ability to adapt and embrace alternatives and far-out tech, as well as poetry, music, dreams, sky-dancing and nature as personal medicine.

Time now to implement measures that quickly adjust the perception we have of ourselves in relationship, especially as an individual within our peer-connected friendship circle, to that of the Spiritual Healing Warrior.   

Chiron in Aries

Check where Aries is in your chart: that’s where a Spiritual Healing Warrior is currently making a major shift, as asteroid Chiron flows from watery Pisces into fiery Aries. Chiron is a mythical centaur, a wild Shamanic out-cast; half-man, half-horse, Chiron’s wisdom is found in the healing arts. This astral alchemist will now stay in Aries, as the Spiritual Healing Warrior, to direct self-healing for seven years, leaving Summer Solstice 2026.

Now at 0° Aries, Chiron with Fixed Star ‘Sheat’ hones and trengthens the Shamanic Healer’s intellect, to think logically and clearly about what needs to be healed in our physical world, within the body, and psychologically, by how we present our egoic selves to the world, reconciling personal identity with personal values.

Noting now the Sun is at 0° Pisces, and how the collective psyche is deeply affected as the Wounded Healer leaves the sign of the fish. Although the negative side of Pisces is viewed as the zodiac’s garbage can, conjuring a vivid a picture of 7 billion of us disposing junk and whatnot into the sea, it’s bizarrely heartening that most of the planet can now see the reality of insidious chemicals and plastic polluting our precious water. Because now is the time for action, and to do something about it!

Bear in mind how the human body constitutes 65%+ water, and as the oceans become polluted so do we. While no one in their right mind would intend to create these poisonous environments, it appears we have accidentally and quite royally harmed ourselves - and every other being in the natural world. Thus, it has been the wizardry of the celestial Shaman, who has brought our attention to our dependency upon the toxic and our carelessness with water, land and air. Now, however, with Chiron’s move into Aries we can begin to rectify and heal our self and our personal identity as human: indeed, when we heal ourselves, we also contribute to healing the Earth.

There is a danger, however, of overwhelm when Piscean energy pervades; when it’s all too easy to seek oblivion and solace in drugs and alcohol etc. Beware of opting for the path of the sleepwalker it leads away from your authentic truth. Know that when we are willing to accept there are certain things we have no control over and just go with our personal flow, we can more easily induce an enlightened and peaceful state. 

Uranus in Taurus

On the New Pisces Moon, March 6^th (The same day Mercury goes retrograde!) inventive and revolutionary Uranus leaves Aries for 84 years, to move into the solid and determined Taurus for 7-ish years (until April 2016), from where this crazy humanitarian oddball will wield a dramatic and often extreme influence upon the simple Taurean value system: food, love, Earth, nature, finances are all bound to areas of sudden and dramatic change. And as Uranus is connected to technology, Taurean nature and weird Uranian machinery could even begin to merge so that ‘virtual reality’ itself develops a seriously mechanistic twist. Singularity, when robots and humans merge, may not be far away, not just strawberry-picking robots. Uranus is in detriment in Taurus, as the planet of invention and electricity buzzes erratically, which will certainly present new-fangled challenges for the more ordered and traditional Bull to consider.

Interestingly, dynamic Mars is in Taurus over this Full SuperMoon, acting as a slow and thoughtful reconnaissance for both visionary Uranus, with whom he travels, and his boss, the Sun, to which there is an easy opening sextile aspect that also boosts warrior Mars. Mars in Taurus tends to be seriously unflappable, even when immersed in the ‘wacky cult of busy’ Taurus finds the same steady joy in breathing fresh-air as in holding hands with his or her honey, or counting out money. Nonetheless, financial markets in commodities could start to see erratic swings, either way, up or down.

·✰· Two more planetary conjunctions also have an influence upon events over this Full Moon.

1) Mercury the messenger and dreamy Neptune are in mystical union in Pisces, and with Fixed Star, ‘Aschenar’. I have been watching this Fixed Star for a while now, as Neptune has a long orbit it can stay in similar degrees for almost a year, and conclude it brings up from the depths fast-moving events that can no longer sustain an illusion. And while aware all life IS an illusion (from Buddhist & Quantum point-of-view), we could still witness a threat of sudden endings to long-held dreams. If that is the case, over the coming weeks there could be an almighty scramble while Mercury goes retrograde from the 6^th March until the 29^th March. Including shadow period, i.e. for the next five week Mercury will conjunct Neptune three times, accenting the need for compassion at every turn, including for oneself. Mercury-Neptune helps to develop faith and breathe new life also into collective dreams. Rearrange thoughts and schedules if you have to – and learn to let go of this, that, and the other, which no longer serve higher truths.

2) The last astral activity of note over this SuperMoon involves a stellium between Venus, Saturn and Pluto, as a power trio in Capricorn (making an easy sextile to the above Mercury/Neptune conjunction that offers an escape route should Venus feel hemmed-in). Venus is the ruler of Taurus, the sign into which Uranus is moving, as such it’s key to watch Venus with Uranus over the coming years, as issues of (women’s) freedom and changes to our everyday values come to our attention. Venus is the planet which creates balance and harmony; currently flanked by both authoritative Saturn and Pluto, Venus likes to feel steady and holds with tradition, charming those with sway and control with beauty and brains, experience and dedication. There is also a mutual reception to take into account: Venus is in the sign of Mars’s exaltation – Capricorn; and Mars is in Venus’s home sign, Taurus; the cosmic lovers Venus and Mars can at least get along politely and connect diplomatically over a glass of something smooth, even if there are other kinds of high tension.  

Time now to generate the positive altruistic intention!
Bless YOU dear ones on this ‘Day of Miracles’!
With Love and Full Supermoon light,
