"We are born at a given moment, in a given place, and like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more." - Carl Gustav Jung

Aries New Moon 2020

   The New Moon in Aries arrives at 5:28am EST. If you truly needed a jump-start, here it is! With both the Sun and Moon in this energetic Fire sign, a much-needed dose of enthusiasm and courage appears at just the right time. Closely aligned with the maverick centaur Chiron, also in Aries, a new course of action is possible now. Chiron is the embodiment of painful experiences from which we grow through healing, first ourselves, then others.

   These three planetary bodies, the Sun, Moon and Chiron, also square the Nodes of the Moon, making this feel like a karmic time for dealing with our wounds in order to move forward and create safer structures for ourselves. Yes, it's a tall order, but the universe is offering us a chance for a new beginning now.
Nothing will change overnight, but we can be well on our way to embracing a novel approach once we do a bit of exploration. Think of this time as perfect for embracing various modes of healing, understanding and compassion.

   With Mars, the ruling planet of Aries having just conjoined powerful Pluto at 24 degrees of Capricorn, our individual energy needs be directed at self-healing, first and foremost, in order for a transformation to take place. Mars will make his way into Aquarius on the 30th, then join Saturn there at 1 degree of this innovative Air sign. Do you feel the shift from so much Water and Earth to include some Fire and Air now? We still have to work with the Earth energy of making structural changes to those systems that are breaking down in the body, our communities and governments, but I feel a fresh breeze blowing in through science and technology to combine with innovative intelligence and that makes me feel hopeful!

   Venus in Taurus is taking her pleasant and loving attitude around to harmonize with Mars, Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn and make working solutions that can be beneficial for the financial picture. It isn't a big reset for the overall state of affairs in business, but it may be your opportunity to find a creative way to sustain yourself in these difficult times. Be still, go within and listen to what your higher self is trying to tell you.

   As always, remember to keep your head in the stars and one foot in front of the other as you wend your way along the present path.

Spring Equinox 2020

This is Thursday, March 19th, 2020 and the Sun leaves Pisces, the last sign of the Zodiac tonight, moving into Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac. Aries is Cardinal Fire, which means it courageously jumps into life, by going, being and doing whatever it feels passion for. The Sun, ruler of fiery Leo, is said to be "exalted" in Aries, another Fire sign. Leaving watery and somewhat lethargic Pisces and entering bold, outgoing Aries, is a big transition for any planet to make, especially the Sun.

Think of it this way, the Sun in Pisces shines across the top of the water, broken up by currents moving it to and fro with multiple compassionate sensitivities. But in its' own element in Aries, it has the chance to shine and thrive. Passion and growth build and enthusiasm returns after a seemingly emotional time-out.

The problem right now is that the whole world is still on a time-out and all the energy being generated after the Equinox tonight needs to be funneled somewhere. How about we look at new ways of connecting with our families, communities and the world that acknowledge we all have the same needs for health and well-being, namely food, shelter, medical care and purpose?!

Yes, we definitely need to isolate our physical bodies, but not our intentions or our minds. We can still connect through prayer, meditation, on-line meetings, and phone calls or texts. Staying in touch is so important now. Share your ideas and enthusiasm for how to heal and help restore new life in the world.
The Sun is aligned closely with Chiron, the Wounded Healer, reminding us that we all hurt and we can recover and grow beyond our differences as long as we accept each other.

The Sun rules Leo, the sign of the Heart and entering Aries now, the sign of the Head, we can spend the next month bringing our heads and hearts together. The Moon is in Aquarius today, accentuating groups, networking, Astrology, ingenuity and technology. Where will you direct your healing abilities to bring greater cohesiveness and renewal this Spring?

Remember, while opening your heart, to keep your head in the stars and your feet on the ground... by getting outside for walks, vitamin D and fresh air. I'm wishing every person, creature and the whole Earth a season of renewed courage, strength and regeneration!

Full Worm Moon in Virgo

   The Full Worm Moon is exact at 1:48pm on March 9th in the 19th degree of Virgo. The polarity of the Sun in Pisces and the Moon in Virgo emphasizes an awareness of what needs to be healed or let go of. Virgo is good at helping to assess the details and figure out what needs weeding out or being let go of.

   Virgo discerns what's important and Pisces intuits the path to healing. Sometimes it's as simple as making space around us, whether cleaning up our pantry, organizing paperwork or letting go of carbs and eating lighter. The Sun conjunct Pisces' ruler, Neptune, adds an element of fantasy or imagination that opposes Virgo Moon, making confusion more likely than clarity. It would be best to take practical steps and avoid obsessive behaviors based on fear of change.

   Mercury goes from retrograde to direct motion at 28 Aquarius, nine hours after the Full Moon culminates. This placement can bring a lot of ideas quickly, or news from the web, or, over radio waves, that feels unsettling. The news may also include possible reasons for hopefulness around stemming the spread of the corona virus, but that is unlikely! It is more likely that the virus is declared a pandemic and we see it blossom.

   Fear-mongering, panic and spinning our wheels only exacerbates the physical, emotional and financial suffering being felt around the globe at this time. It's important to take precautionary steps in your daily life, extra Vitamin C and avoid places where the virus is more likely to be contagious. Be smart and aware and let go of fear.

   In the meantime, remember... keep your sneeze-free head in the stars and your feet on solid ground~
