March 2010
March 1st: Mercury enters Pisces. The messenger planet joins the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus to form a 5 planet stellium in Pisces. So much emphasis in the dreamy water sign of Pisces has us questioning whether we are living in a virtual dream world until after the New Moon in Pisces on March 15th.
March 7th: Venus enters Aries. Undercurrents of authority and power take center stage in relationships as Venus steps into Aries to oppose Saturn in Libra and square Pluto in Capricorn. During this aspect, we are reminded to distinguish between the power of love versus the love of power in our relationships.
March 10th: Mars turns direct in Leo. Mars moves forward for the first time this year after stationing retrograde on the eve of the Winter Solstice. New initiatives, creations, and actions are highlighted as it greets the Spring while journeying through expressive Leo until June 7th.
March 15th: New Moon in Pisces. This month’s New Moon closely conjoins Mercury and Uranus in Pisces bringing a stream of surprise events, realizations, and announcements marking a time to expect the unexpected in the ever changing currents of Pisces.
March 17th: Mercury enters Aries. Fleet-footed Mercury speeds through Pisces right after the Winter Olympics to arrive in Aries three full days before the Sun this year.
March 20th: Sun enters Aries and Spring Equinox. The arrival of Spring this year sees the Sun in Aries forming a T-square to Saturn in Libra and Pluto in Capricorn. As Spring yields to Summer in the next three months, Jupiter and Uranus will replace the Sun in Aries in the T-square heralding a period of momentous changes.
March 29th: Full Moon in Libra. The first Full Moon of Spring lights the way for Passover and Easter Sunday. In this year of significant cardinal aspects, the themes of resurrection and ascension are especially relevant.
February 2010
February 10th: Mercury enters Aquarius. The messenger planet arrives in Aquarius just in time for Venus to pass the torch before she departs for Pisces en route to the Olympic Games.
February 11th: Venus enters Pisces. The planet of love and beauty enters spiritual Pisces and closely conjoins Jupiter through February 16. This is a good period to trust in providence and be open to receiving divine blessings and grace from unexpected and perhaps even unseen sources.
February 13th: New Moon in Aquarius. A universal feeling of fellowship permeates the air as the Olympic Games get underway and the Year of The Tiger is ushered in under this month’s New Moon. A conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in Pisces might just make for some magical moments during the week ahead.
February 18th: Sun enters Pisces. The Sun joins Venus, Jupiter, and Uranus in Pisces as Venus moves beyond her fortunate union with Jupiter.
February 28th: Full Moon in Virgo. This month’s Full Moon closely opposes Jupiter in support of renewed faith, hope, and optimism as we approach the transformative Cardinal T-square in the months ahead.
