EXCITING MARCH BEGINS!

Happy New Moon! We have a beautiful experience of a New Moon in Pisces with Jupiter on March 2nd. This encourages the expansion of our faith in ourselves, the universe and our intuitive abilities. It is an optimistic aspect that helps us seek truth, connect to Source and have a deeper trust in the process of life. Our emotions and feelings are an important part of this transit, so it’s best to pay attention and be highly self aware during this time. Also, Venus finally reaches the degree in Capricorn where she went retrograde back in December. This is referred to as Venus “leaving the shadow” -meaning where our whole journey began with Venus going into the underworld, greeting Pluto and helping us redefine, revise and renew our relationships. Venus and Mars continue their togetherness journey begun back in February and they remain close in Capricorn, then Aquarius throughout the month of March. These are more relationship dynamics, a chance to commit to something new or attract a new community of friends or a personal connection that can be refreshingly new. 

We also have Mercury and Saturn coming into conjunction in Aquarius on March 2nd. The combination of these planets encourages concise thinking, deep analysis and laser sharp focus. 

A very powerful and unusual day occurs on March 3rd as we have both Venus and Mars making conjunction with Pluto along with the asteroid Vesta. Firstly - Venus, Mars and Pluto are a deep transformational combination. This will be the third and final meeting of Venus and Pluto since early December. We have been through a major process in examining and clearing old patterns in our connections with others. Where have you released the past? Where do you feel you have cleared the decks of obstacles that were preventing you from having true fulfillment and joy? Mars helps us assert ourselves in the direction of receiving all we desire. With Pluto it helps us dig deep into the realization of what we truly want and gives us the energy to go out and get it. Vesta is an asteroid that indicates the sacred fire within each of us, the inspiration and spark of life. Conjunct Venus, Mars and Pluto, Vesta enhances our passions and power. These planetary relationships will be exact on March 3rd, but we will feel them a few days before and after. They may encourage a very deep and profound turning point in each of our lives, which includes confronting any shadow components that may surface as obstacles. It is important to take advantage of this energy and use it to advance our plans. 

On Saturday the 5th the Sun will conjunct Jupiter, reminding us of the New Moon and continuing the positive, expansive environment we have nurtured.  Meanwhile, Venus and Mars both enter Aquarius, which will be the first time Venus has changed signs since November. These planets will conjunct exactly in Aquarius moments later after entering the sign. This conjunction occurs at the same degree in Aquarius where the Jupiter Saturn conjunction occurred in December of 2020. Think back to that time and how your life may have felt, what shifted and where was there a new space for experiencing freedom. This new planetary alignment can be a brilliant entry into feeling truly liberated.

This is only the first week of March! There will be plenty of other dynamics that shift throughout the month, so stay tuned. In the meantime, pay close attention to feelings and emotions. Use these feelings and your skills of self awareness to recognize where you are navigating through to new energies and opening up a new chapter of your life!
