Full Moon at 29* Virgo on Saturday March 19

March's Full Moon is on the 19th at 2:10 pm (28°47' Virgo). Contemplate how “full-filled” you are with your service, how your routines and systems are working, and your health. This lunation's aspects request your openness to intuitive flashes and paradigm shifts, and deriving genuine fulfillment from your service.

The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is, “A Seeker After Occult Knowledge Is Reading An Ancient Scroll Which Illumines His Mind.” Just remember that, with the veils between worlds growing ever-thinner, this "scroll" is as likely to appear before your mind's eyes as your physycal one!

The Sun enters Aries on the 20th, radiating the energy of initiation, sexuality, assertiveness and leadership.

Be particularly open to intuitive flashes and paradigm shifts that help you be more true to yourself around the 21st.

Connecting with the divine realms, the divine in others, and expressing your divinely inspired creativity are powerfully supported around the 26th.

To receive empowerment, embrace the challenge of personal transformation around the 28th. Also on this day, a major astrological event occurs: Jupiter opposes Saturn. This calls for a harmonious balancing of expansion and contraction, enthusiasm and seriousness, adventurous new paths and still-useful traditions. This aspect remains strong for several weeks.

The time is right for the mentoring and healing of relationships, creativity and money issues around the 29th.

Whatever your Sun Sign, this forecast will help you make the best use of each month’s astrological energies. Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.

Everyone is affected by these global transits. However, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your personal horoscope.

The Aries Ingress the following day highlights rebellious Uranus who has just crossed the Aries threshold too. The Sun and Uranus are dazzling us with their combined ‘light’, waking us up to an amazing future that is happening right now before our eyes. The consciousness raising potential of this moment in history is scintillating.‘Ignorance,’ the saying goes, ‘is no excuse.’ And there is no possible excuse now.

With Mars, the ruler of Aries in such a dynamic and energised configuration, plus also oriental and rising before the Sun, the desire for change, freedom and autonomy is fuel injected.

Uranus has been called the great awakener. Now that he joins the Sun, symbol of consciousness at the first degree of the zodiac, there is a powerful agenda for reform that will not be denied. The freedom to create and the individual’s right to decide their own destiny is first and foremost.

Aries is a sign which is forthright, honest, and direct. With Mars now moving at its fastest possible pace, the hero in each of us is called to action. Fortunately, with Mars located in compassionate and peaceful Pisces, we are also feeling empathy for the plight of others.

A new spiritual awareness is being birthed. We are all individuals with a voice, seeking choice, leadership, and direction. There are many conflicts and different viewpoints but we are all united in wanting to live together peacefully. As we struggle to survive on this beautiful living Earth we must learn to live sustainably and share her precious resources.

Personality Profile:

As the last of the twelve Zodiac signs, Pisces is said to contain aspects of them all. This makes the Pisces Sun so changeable as to appear not to have one singular identity. It's as if they're just touching down in this human reality, and light enough to try on a few personas.

Those with the Sun in Pisces can be so dreamy as to seem "somewhere else" half the time. They're tuned into the spiritual side of things, and this gives them an otherworldly air. It can seem that they're always sensing the emotional currents that run between people, as well as those connecting us to the great beyond.

The Pisces Sun leads with a compassionate heart, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Many are remarkably wise and self-sacrificing when it comes to helping the vulnerable or those down on their luck. But this noble trait can take them down a path of being used and abused before they learn to set strong boundaries.

This is the sign of the mystic poet, and a creative pursuit gives Pisces the motivation to be disciplined. And bringing structure to the vast imagination and shades of emotion flowing within the Pisces nature is a great achievement. Through art, they can bring a bit of heaven down to Earth for the benefit of everyone.

It's important for Pisces Sun to find a sense of purpose to avoid just drifting. Their sensitivity makes them also a tad more vulnerable to escapism through addictions or personal dramas. Finding a sense of worth, self-definition and purpose seem to be some of their life lessons.

In romance, they fare well with a guiding hand-type that understands the liquid-y Piscean nature. Life with a Pisces means having a bridge to unseen worlds of the heart and imagination, and how could this be anything but awe-some.

Staying healthy under the Pisces-heavy skies:

Pisces rules the immune and lymphatic systems, our boundary-supporting sentries that protect us from microbes and infections."

We’re in a dreamy time. Not only is the Sun in imaginative Pisces, but so is Venus, Jupiter and Uranus. All this Piscean energy may help us connect with a deep sense of emotion and devotion, but its uncontainment and blurring-of-the-edges may also inspire a sense of disoriention, as if we’re floating on the clouds, or walking on water.

Like the symbol for Pisces—two Fish swimming in opposite directions—there are dual routes of wellness suggestions that can be important during this time.

The first is to pursue those things that will help you connect in with higher levels of Piscean inspiration. During this season, meditation, prayer, and guided imagery can be especially great tools to galvanize a sense of personal alignment as well as physical and emotional healing. Listening to music, reading or writing poetry, or snapping some photographs are artistic activities that can help us to foster our deep well of heart-centered connection and compassion. If you are looking for an essential oil to help you tune into Piscean energy, try sandalwood, as it is beneficial when one has a desire to tune into their inherent intuitive and psychic insights.

As we set off to swim in the serene and empathy-catalyzing Piscean energy seas, it’s also important to maintain a sense of groundedness so as to not get too spacey, or float away. Root vegetables such as beets, burdock, turnips, and rutabaga are especially good for helping us sink down into our own personal roots. In medical astrology, Pisces rules the immune and lymphatic systems, our boundary-supporting sentries that protect us from microbes and infections. Fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and other whole foods are replete with immune-enhancing nutrients while supplements like zinc, astragalus, and vitamin C may be benefit if you feel the need for some extra immune boosting.

A great way to stay grounded is to focus on your feet, a part of the body also ruled by Pisces. Pedicures, reflexology sessions, and even lymph-boosting gentle walks are great wellness activities during this time. And if the spirit moves you, stand barefoot on the earth and do a visualization exercise where you stream the land’s energy through your soles and throughout your body. These activities will help you to ground the streaming love and inspiration that the Piscean energies can usher in.

New Moon at 14*, Pisces, March 4th at 3:46 p.m. EDT

A lot is stirring beyond the thin layer covering the realm of the unconscious; we’re in the month of Pisces the sign most associated with the transcendent and the dissolving of material boundaries. In this new Moon the Sun and Moon meet with a host of other planets in the sign associated with the gestation that precedes the rebirth of the New Year during the spring and the beginning of Aries. This a time of great internal movement when we align ourselves with our dreams. It’s not really clear yet what these dreams are as they are still germinating behind the thin vail of consciousness and so we’re irritable, undecided and otherwise unclear about what is ahead. One thing is for sure, something is ahead and this new Moon is a good time to turn inward and pay attention to this new life that is waiting to be born of us.

This New Moon favors imaginative projects, mystical or spiritual pursuits, keeping the faith (no matter what we are told to believe, and no matter what others have to say about what we believe), inner development, music, drama, dance, going on a retreat, and all sorts of activities involving water (surfing, swimming, diving, etc). You can also find this moon really helpful if you are interested in delving far back into your past, for some good old-fashioned emotional healing.



This New Moon falls at 14 degrees in Pisces. So if you are curious to see how this New Moon energy will best favor you, then check out which of the 12 Astrological Houses it will be falling in, in your chart. You can do this by looking at your Natal Chart.

Then find the 14-degree mark, look towards the center of the chart and see which House or Houses it falls in. By doing this, you can then investigate what that House represents, and get a better idea as to what areas in life will be highlighted for you this month.

The Sabian Symbol is Pisces 14: A Woman Wrapped In Fox Fur.

Commentary: ‘A Woman’ is ‘Wrapped in Fox Fur’. She presents a beautiful image and one has the sense that she radiates intelligence, grace, and wealth. The ‘Fox Fur’ carries the feeling of protection being given through the use of wit, tact, diplomacy, glamour, and intellect. There is an aura of “street smarts” about the ‘Woman Wrapped in Fox Fur', like she could get out of (or into) any situation that she chooses.

Oracle: Someone is trying to present an image that will enhance their position. Whether this is you or another, using intelligence will probably see one through. If, however, the disguise, were to be stripped away, would the same qualities be expressed? You may find that you have to display your capabilities because you suffer negative prejudice, chauvinism, or are underestimated. It may be that you are not being listened to. Difficulties can arise when others misunderstand what it is that you are projecting and over or under-estimate your message. This Symbol can also represent the desire to show off one’s wealth, as though possessions and material gains are an example of class and intelligence. You may lose track of what you truly feel about yourself.

Keywords: Outer expressions of real inner worth. Animal magnetism and attraction. Intelligence and its display. Cloaks of feminine sexuality. Beguiling minds. Perceived beauty. The sense of having class and money. Beauty, fashion, and talent. Being forward and upfront. Sense of personal style. Grace and composure. Elegance. Knowing what to say and when. Dressing up. Money spent on beauty. Tempting others with sexual signals. Perfumes. Pheromones. Taxidermy.

The Caution: False fronts and expressions of wealth. Selling out for momentary, or monetary, gain. Wrapped in intellectual superficiality. The fatal allure of beauty. Scoring points solely through charisma. Being so caught up in fashion and glamour that one loses a true sense of self. Being overdressed.

This is a very Piscean new Moon, with Chiron, Mars, the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Lillith and Uranus all in Pisces. Soon, many of those planets will move into Aries, but for now we are still swimming in the depths and there can be many emotions, thoughts, and ideas that come from those more ethereal realities.

The New Moon is a time of beginnings. You can set intentions or do a New Moon Ritual that grows with the lunar light and reaches fruition at the Full Moon.

What's Happening:
• intense emotions
• picking up vibes from others
• feeling the oneness of all life
• soulful moments
• being overwhelmed
• inspired dreams
• tender touch
• forgiveness, compassion

New Moon in Pisces themes:
• Seeing aspects of your life dissolve, and be revealed as illusion.
• Seeing that you're an eternal being, having an experience.
• Wrapping up loose ends, resolving karma.
• Preparing for a spiritual awakening
• Forgiving your enemies.
• Coming to the aid of those who are suffering.
• Mystical experiences, synchronicity.
• Craving spiritual community.

It's a Good Time to:
• meditate
• let emotions drift on by like clouds
• imagine and create
• be quiet, go to be early
• spend time near or by the ocean
• stop talking and listen
• go beyond words to symbols, images, music
• expect a miracle

The best feature about New Moons is the feeling of getting a fresh start, a new beginning. This is the best time to start something new. It is a time to leap with courage & live in the moment. The New Moon blesses new starts, and invites you to take an opportunity! What do you want to generate in your life? What image do you wish to manifest? The new begins a new cycle. Now isn’t that exciting?

March Planetary Highlights

Sitting at the end of the zodiac, dreamy Pisces could not be more opposite from action-oriented Aries at the beginning. So when the cosmos shine spotlights on each of these signs -- as they will this month -- you can bet that your life will get quite interesting!

With the Sun in Pisces until March 20, a Piscean New Moon occurring on March 4 and Mars in Pisces for the entire month, the start of the coming month will be all about the Fish. You'll feel extra imaginative and intuitive, and taking care of practical chores will be the furthest thing from your mind. Add Pluto to the mix, and you'll feel blessed with sharply honed instincts to help you recognize -- and solve -- deeper problems more easily.

Venus will transition into Aquarius on March 2, where it will remain for most of the month. This move will get you networking and socializing, while also offering a nice respite from the Pisces/Aries dichotomy. However, by March 9, Aries will start to gain ground in the cosmic tug of war once chatty Mercury moves into the take-charge sign. You won't have any problems speaking your mind, regardless of the consequences! Just be especially careful between March 13-18, when Mercury will remind us what mercurial really means: Opinions and moods at this time will swing wildly back and forth!

The biggest astrological news of the month will occur on March 12, when Uranus finally ends its seven-year journey through Pisces ... only to begin a new seven-year course through Aries. Expect sudden, unexpected, rebellious, and life-altering change at this point! And when Uranus is paired with proactive, energetic Aries, you'll definitely be craving excitement. Indeed, this is an ideal opportunity to let go of previous -- and likely unnecessary -- restrictions. Try something daring!
