The Piscean energy of this month continues this week with a
triad of events that starts on Monday as the Sun ingresses into the 12th
sign of the Fishes for the next month. Our desire to merge with something
greater than ourselves is strong now especially in the house of our charts that
the Sun in Pisces is transiting through. We are looking for a union that is
spiritual, otherworldly and of a blending quality. People can be highly
emotionally sensitive and have a tendency to dive into their favorite escapist
tendencies. It is a favorable for meditative/contemplative/quiet time. The
danger is becoming too fundamentalist about what you believe takes you “there”
and believing that your path is the best one for everyone, to the point of
dividing or pulling apart. On a more mundane level, Pisces can bring people
together, but it can also push them apart into distinctly different factions at
war with one and other over beliefs – i.e., religious wars – so expect the war
like atmosphere between different religious factions to get fanatical over the
next few weeks. Issues with water may be more in the forefront of current
events also.
Saturn goes retrograde in Scorpio on Monday also telling us to
look deep within ourselves to see where we need to be more disciplined/responsible
with our power, authority, desires, and shadow side. This may be as period of
deep inner change for some, but it will require some hard work. Issues that
continue to be repressed may come out in some ugly ways now (an ex-LA cop
showed us just how intense that can manifest as in physical reality when
authorities abuse others. This can also be seen these days as computer hackers
being the very same mistreated employees of the company they are hacking; the
use of steroids in all sports; the financial and corporate business world being
put in positions of government/regulatory power; the fights over gun control,
immigration, and government fiscal policies as just some examples). Ideally, we
would use this retrograde phase (through July 7th) to assess deep
within how we can change our approaches to these issues and be more responsible,
however many may use it to engage in secret behaviors or deals whose aim is even
greater power and control, while others may just repress feelings even more
than usual for fear of losing control.
Venus is also active Monday as it trines Ceres, squares the Nodes,
and semi-squares Uranus. The trine may have us caring for others/loved ones in
some nurturing capacity that we willingly give, but the square to the Nodes and
semi-square to Uranus can make us very restless with certain relationships and
create much tension between you and others. You may feel compelled with the need
to break from your normal crowd and find a new one to hang out with to meet
unfulfilled needs. Thus, relationships with those who are familiar may be disharmonious
today, while those with new acquaintances can take on the air of excitement. We
may also look for financial outlets, odd investments, new entertainment.
Tuesday is a quiet day with the Moon Void-of-Course the second
half of the day.
Wednesday, big Piscean event of the week #2 occurs when the Sun
conjuncts Neptune (with Moon in Cancer also – a perfect storm of the water
element). Inspiration and imagination will be strong today and may fill our
life with some beautiful moment of some form. We are highly idealistic and thus
self-deluded quite easily. Escape of reality may be the may thrust of our acts.
People are highly attuned to one and other on psychic levels, and inspired by
the spiritual/unseen world(s). Many will feel the need to withdraw to some contemplative
space and avoid the external world as senses are easily overstimulated and hard
to put a finger on what the source is, and is thus ultimately confusing. With
the Moon square Uranus and applying to a late night opposition to Pluto, this
can also be a day filled with fanatical acts of rebellion.
Thursday is a day that should be “in the flow” as there’s a
Grand Trine in Water among the Moon in Cancer, stationary Saturn in Scorpio,
and Mercury/Mars in Pisces. Emotional connections with other open easily and processing
can be stabilizing, unifying, and nurturing. A good day to take on projects
together to advance shared ideals.
Friday, Venus semi-squares Pluto which may find you in some
frustrating power struggle within a relationship or powerless to currently
change some irritating circumstance with someone you care for/love. It can
bring up feelings of jealousy/envy/possessiveness in relationships. You may
adopt a flippant attitude toward loved ones. Relationships may just be intense
in some way today.
Saturday, big Pisces event of the day #3 occurs as Mercury goes
retrograde at about 20* and stays so until March 17th at 5*. Mercury
is weakest in Pisces in a traditional sense as the normal sharpness of the mind/intellect
is dulled/eroded by emotions/unseen forces/the spiritual side, thus affecting
its normal way of functioning. Add to this the normal effect of Mercury
retrograde on external events and this could end up being a particularly trying
retrograde period this time round. Communications may be hopelessly misunderstood
or just plain screwed up, stormy weather could mess up travel plans big time,
normal thinking processes may be impossible to access, plans may drift so far
off course they may as well be lost at sea. It would be best to use this time
to contemplate deeply, journal imaginative ideas for later seeding, dream and
visualize what you want, communicate to others on non-verbal levels, and create
art.
Sunday is a quiet restful day with a Moon in Leo opposition to
Venus at night allowing us to relax, indulge the senses, be with friends, be entertained
or socialize.
We are deep in the waters of Pisces now – drifting along with
the current is the path of least resistance and allows us to access places we
have not gone to before.
Next week, Venus joins the party in Pisces and links up with Neptune,
while we have a Full Moon in Virgo. Happy sailing!
