Spring Greetings!  Happy Astrological New Year!

All of this time of waiting, delays, and backward movement now dissolve into effervescence.  Here are some details about the energies at work and at play this month :)

 

March 2015  

March heralds the best time of 2015 to launch new things.  It is one of only four months in the whole year that carries strong energy for doing so. March and April carry the strongest forward motion, with November and December being the other open windows. Every other month of this year each carry many reasons to go back over things, rather than springing forward. Of course, just as soon as something seems black and white in astrology, it quickly becomes gray.  While there is much Universal movement pushing things forward, the eclipses can bring surprises and movement different than planned or expected.  As always, a little bit of flexibility will go a very long way. Stay open, pay attention to the signs, and be ready to adjust accordingly.

Mid-month, the end of a several-year epic battle of Uranus and Pluto gives even more reason to celebrate.

Juicy, fresh, passionate, exciting, forward movement blesses the month. Supercharged inspiration spills forth from everywhere. All systems go!

Check out the March Highlights:

** Sometimes the effects of planetary transits are felt before or after the actual day that the transit occurs.

March 3rd -- Jupiter in Leo Trine Uranus in Aries -- This is definitely prime energy for breaking out of a rut!  Doing something different is more worth the risk as Jupiter guards and rewards actions at this time.  The transit occurs in the element of fire, at a time when the personal  planets have started to move into fellow fire element Aries, all bringing more zest and excitement.  Happy and lucky surprises abound with this combination.  We will have one more such pair-up of these planets in on June 22nd, and then not again until 2019.

March 5th -- Full Moon in Virgo -- Fullness, excess, completion, or fruition come to all  matters ruled by Virgo.  Health, routines, daily work/office matters, pets and other animals, analysis, criticism, service-related topics, discernment, perfectionism, and anything related to the digestion process or digestive organs, or solar plexus all have an increased chance of moving into the forefront during the days surrounding this event. Emotions run high but the stress usually fades quickly.

March 10th -- Mars in Aries Trine Jupiter in Leo --  Luck and forward movement blend into perfect manifestation.  The days surrounding this transit bring rapid fruition to things that have been pending or new showings of fortune and benevolence.

March 11th -- Mars in Aries Conjunct Uranus in Aries --  Protect your head, look before you leap, play it safe during this time period.  Mishaps run rampant, tempers run hot, a great day to stay home with your head under the covers.  If you must engage with anyone or go anywhere, surround yourself with white light and be extra aware of your environment, words, and physical body. 

March 11th -- Mars in Aries Square Pluto in Capricorn -- Ego clashes predominate during this time.  Major transformation is afoot.  Even if you are being cautious there will be loose cannons expressing without discernment so carefully mind your surroundings and guard your physical body.  

The square-off of Uranus and Pluto, which has been going on since 2012, has its last direct match up in several days from now and this transit rolls out the welcome mat for the age-old stories of authority and ego wars to go toe-to-toe once again. 

March 14th -- Saturn goes Retrograde in Sagittarius -- During this transit, which runs through August 2, 2015, Saturn will briefly return to Scorpio back to 28 degrees. This is a great time to "deadhead" all aspects of your life.  Clipping away the dead parts of plants, allows for the plant to have more energy for generating new blooms.  Similarly, finding these aspects of your life allows for more prolific blossoming after Saturn goes direct.  Tying up loose ends, finishing pending projects, and following through with previous commitments are some ways to make the most of the retrograde time.

March 16th -- Uranus in Aries Square Pluto in Capricorn -- The final of seven 90° angle  pair-up's from 2012-2015 of these powerful outer planets occurs now.  A 90° angle, also called a square, is an aspect of conflict, of forward movement through challenge. This series of squares occurred previously between 1932 and 1934. Notable events that occurred at that time include: The Great Depression, the invention of the Atomic Bomb, and the Rise of Adolph Hitler.  Major transformation coming through ego and authority clashes and lessons of the proper use of power, and the ramifications that come from misuse, are definitely the themes. We can see how these themes have played out in the last several years in the global arena, and in the stories of our individual experiences.  

March 20th -- New Moon in Pisces/Solar Eclipse/First day of Spring/Start of the Astrological New Year --

A major whopper of powerful energy at this time! Fresh, vibrant energy rushes in with endless potential. New, fresh energy and possibilities come, especially with to Piscean matters, including intuition, imagination, spiritual or psychological issues or topics, addictions, helplessness, connectedness to the all-that-is. Pisces rules the feet and the lymphatic system (also immunity and colds) so topics related to these areas could be highlighted. The days surrounding this part of the this moon cycle are very ripe for major spiritual occurrences, or mystical experiences.  Also, major creative and inspirational energies are present at this time. This moon will likely be extra-emotional.  Schedule yourself light around this time in case something comes up that needs your attention.  Also, rest and retreat could indicated at this time. If you tend to have problems with gout or other foot or immunity issues, take extra care with diet and self-care and body awareness at this time.  Taking probiotics, and ample vitamin C, if they are not contraindicated for your circumstances, can help strengthen the immune system and set you on a solid path of healing. This is a fantastic time to kick a bad habit or seek treatment for psychological  issues.  For depression, ADHD, disassociative disorders, and other maladies of the psyche, look into progressive treatment such as biofeedback and hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions.

This is one of the two best times of the year to do a vision board, the other being your birthday.

Launches, making public of creative projects, new beginnings are indicated strongly now.  

Yaaaay for Spring!
