March - Mystical Spring New Moon

We are slowly moving towards the New Moon, which will take place this Thursday, March 31st, 11:24pm PDT.

It will be aligned with the constellation Pisces (sidereal astrology). Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac and it is a time to think about what we want to let go of that no longer serves us (objects, values, relationships, behaviors, opinions...). Pisces is also the sign of intuition, daydreaming, inspiration. It is represented by Vishnu who dreams and creates universes! Pay attention to your dreams which could be more meaningful!

The new moon will take place in the nakshatra (lunar constellation) Revati, ruled by Pushan, the one who guides travelers on the road or Pashupatinath, who takes care of animals. It is a good time for traveling, contact with animals and even finding lost objects!

Mercury will be with the sun and the moon. Mercury in Pisces is good for intuition, but not so much for reasoning. It can make us lack discrimination. It's best to wait until April 10 before making important decisions that might be too emotionally based and subjective. Indeed, we may have difficulty distinguishing between our reason, our emotions, our intuition, etc. We could also be very emotional and moody.

During the whole month of March, Venus, planet of love and creativity, was stuck in Capricorn with 3 malefic planets (Mars, Saturn and Pluto), which could "cool down" somewhat the ardors of love, friendship and creativity! Venus is now entering Aquarius and relationships should be lighter and more open, especially since Mars will join her from April 9 to 28, which should rekindle passion and creativity.

Mars the warrior is still in its sign of exaltation and will reach its exact conjunction with Saturn on April 5, at its maximum degree of exaltation, 28 degrees. Mars and Saturn are enemies and we can expect more wars and even natural disasters such as earthquakes, and even, volcanic eruptions, because Pluto is not far away, and he represents volcanoes and...nuclear explosions. Let's pray it doesn't happen!

These are the last stirrings of the energy of heaviness and ignorance before the historic grand conjunction of Jupiter with Neptune in Pisces, which has not occurred for 166 years in this sign, and which should bring a great spiritual awakening! The Jupiter-Neptune conjunction will be exact from April 8 to 14. We will be greatly inspired, more connected to the spiritual world, there should be a strong descent of light on the earth (which is in great need of it!). However, we must be careful not to lose touch with reality and keep our feet on the ground! Happy new moon to all!
