As happens cosmically speaking, occasionally most of the planets cluster in just a few signs. March 2022 is one such a time when eight out of ten planets gather in three signs for most of the month. The effect of this directs our energy in a particular area of life. In this case, the final three signs of the zodiac: Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.
The last quarter of the zodiac has to with the greater
good. Thus, we find ourselves focusing
on concerns beyond our immediate needs, past our jobs and yes, even our
families to the collective: how our
actions affect others, perhaps everyone combined. This energetic thrust is practical,
humanitarian, innovative and benevolent.
I think we can all agree, we certainly know what does not work by now. It is time to try something completely
different and maybe even radical. To
reach across what divides us and find common ground. To achieve greater understanding. To realize that what bothers and bogs us
down, also probably bothers others. What impacts me, impacts you.
March offers break through, inventive energy, as well as
useful and visionary tools to solve
long-standing problems. And we couldn’t
have a better cosmic stretch to tackle the BIG stuff in our lives because March
is the halfway point of an unusual three-month planetary All Clear: every
single planet is cycling forward motion and undisturbed by even a single
eclipse. What does this mean for
you? It is GO TIME.
March really does come roaring in on day one.
The month opens with Venus and Mars tightly conjoined to
Powerhouse Pluto in sturdy Capricorn.
Can you say drive? We have ambition to spare. And it’s not all about ego. This is quintessentially bare bones energy. Venus governs our skills, talents, and
wallet. Mars is our initiative. Pluto, Mars’ bigger sibling, triggers our
desire. Packed together, this trio
doesn’t mess around. There’s no time to
waste. In Capricorn, they keep a firm
eye on the score and ask: do you have
what it takes to go the distance? Is
this endeavor of yours something that will stand the test of time? It is it worthy of you? And worth the
currency of your life: your time, energy
and yes, money?
Meanwhile, Messenger Mercury pairs with taskmaster Saturn in
Aquarius. Mercury shines in this
connective sign, proving that truly anything
can be accomplished when we put our minds to it. Aquarian Thomas Edison, still the record
holder of most patents, is testament to this; as are Oprah Winfrey and Abraham
Lincoln. Different as they seem to be from each other, what do they have in common? They link all of us together in a way we haven’t been before, through innovation,
connection and humanitarian efforts.
What benefits them, benefits all.
And then there is Pisces, where Generous Jupiter, the Sun
and dreamy Neptune are cycling. Go big or go home, they inspire. How big can you dream? What
does your soul say? Time to check in
with it. This is a grand, visionary
force. Music, water, dreams, the
collective unconscious connote that
we are in fact one and the same
body. Bound by and to each other,
the animal kingdom, the elements.
Together, the combination of practicality (Capricorn), innovation
(Aquarius) and vision (Pisces) pull us individually and as a group out of the
past and into new terrain. In short, we
progress. We evolve. We grow.
Enter the New Moon.
In Pisces, sandwiched between the Sun and Generous Jupiter,
this New Moon on Wednesday, March 2nd is an invitation to dream.
Put on some music, maybe something you haven’t listened to in a while,
or ever before, and hand write 3-5 intentions you seek to manifest over the
coming month, season or year. What is it
you desire? The Force is with you big time now. We’re living a landmark moment; nothing is
as it was before and anything is truly possible. The future is ripe with every imaginable
possibility. And imagine is a key word
for this Piscean New Moon. It says we are only limited by our imaginations.
So who do you want to be?
Do that. Become her. Reinvent yourself from the inside out.
Mars and Venus guide the way as they shift into Aquarius on
Sunday, March 6th. Radically
individual, this don’t fence me in energy
pushes us to be every inch our SELF, regardless of what anyone else says. Use this unabashedly unique force to design
how you want to live. The only constructs are those you confine yourself to; so
it is vital to give yourself permission to live outside of the box. Venus and Mars rule relationship and drive. Different, unusual-to-you people and ideas
may surface now. Give them a whirl. Connect
to and network with groups. Try anything
once. You never know what breakthroughs
might occur if you do!
Thursday, March 10th Messenger Mercury turns into
dreamy Pisces joining Neptune, Jupiter and the Sun. We are in the flow now. You can fight against the tide OR surrender
and see where it takes you. I suggest
surrendering. Ask yourself: do you really have the amount of energy it
takes to hold back the tide, push against the unrelenting current? Why would you want to anyway? With seven out of ten planets in either
Aquarius or Pisces guiding us toward the answers we seek, curiosity and wonder
are key.
Lately, one aspect in extremely short supply is wonder. To allow for the element of surprise. Our divisions sprout from staunch certainty
that we are right; that we have all of the answers; that there can be no other
way to be or do or live. Instead, mid-March
prompts us to be curious about what’s around the river bend. That perhaps if we allow time and nature to
gently lead us, we might just arrive at an infinitely finer solution or
destination than we could ever imagine, much less contrive ourselves.
After all…How big is the ocean? How infinite is the sky? How large can you dream?
The days leading up to the Virgo Full Moon on Friday, March
18th will push our buttons to flow with ingenuity. We can feel the wheels of innovation churn,
grinding against each other sparking solutions.
Venus and Mars in Aquarius challenge change-agent Uranus in earthy Taurus. This energy poses two alternatives: to dig our heels in and resist the
possibilities at hand, or, … open to greater “what ifs”. Such as, what
if we said yes instead of no. What if we took a risk, maybe risked being
disliked, or worse, thought of being different, instead of always
conforming, mostly likely to someone else’s rules. What if
we spent our time, talents and treasure differently instead of shutting the
lid on new ideas and resource investment?
Our guide here is the Virgo Full Moon. She says:
control what you can; while the four planets in Pisces opposite the moon
say: let the rest go. Let go and let God; Goddess; Source, Spirit.
Your soul. Your soul knows the way. Step out from behind the curtain of your ego
which perpetually and loudly claims to know it all, when actually though… your
better, wiser, higher self knows in fact, there are other ways altogether of
being. It’s time to flow with your soul.
Just a few days later, the Spring Equinox heralds the
arrival of a new and brighter season on Monday, March 21st. In the Northern Hemisphere, we begin emerging
from reflective wintertime. As the Sun
moves into fiery Aries, followed by Messenger Mercury on the 27th,
our will, thoughts and words courageously leap to action. We know now exactly what to do. We are the architects of our deepest
dreams. Go now and do.
