This New Moon has several unusual aspects to it. Rather than speak geek to you, let me share what I distill down from the cocktail party groupings of this Pisces Moon March 2nd. The Sun, Moon and Jupiter hang out in the best corner with a stunning view. They have a mystical beauty with a dash of hopeful allure. This is definitely an inspirational group. They inspire us to dare to dream bigger, believe in the magic of our dreams and see the future of possibilities. In these challenging days what a relief, right?
Jupiter invites us to be amazed at how things can delight us. Not in spite of the darkness of some circumstances. Not in dismissal of the serious choices being made. Rather, can you let the sunset dazzle you today? Can you feel the anticipation of Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere? Sensory input actually pleases and helps our mood. When you feed yourself beauty, it has an neurobiological impact. While you dream, feed it what is lovely. The New Moon reminds us that illusions you act upon can become reality. It invites us to both fall in love and then deepen that crush into something that will last. Enchantment paired with tending that which captures our attention is how love goes from imagination to day to day life.
The last couple months helped clean house on what we thought we wanted versus what we really desire. This current stage is how to make a new dream real, one that fits you now. With Pluto in contact with Mars and Venus, there are unconscious drives that surface. Watch out for projecting those unpleasant bits onto those around you. The power is there inside you. We have ease aspects to this Full Moon in Pisces that makes it a great day to make a big wish. Begin something important today, even if it’s writing it down on paper and putting it in an honored place.
Then get ready to work for it. The effort is how you bond with what you desire. Overcoming obstacles teaches you more about yourself and what you love. Do you want it enough to work for it? Will you face your fears or do the challenges defeat you? How many of us get discouraged and feel helpless when we don’t get immediate results for our efforts and then give up? Here’s the good news. Even if you find yourself a bit intimidated at what you need to do to make your dreams real, you’ve got help. This New Moon pulls in celestial magic. A good part of that magic is community. Finding your family of frequency is part of your quest.
Know this, even those who disagree with you or see it differently, can help you get where you are headed. But it’s necessary right now to let go of being right and focus on finding a right path collectively. When you force a personal agenda you miss all the magical resources around you. That agenda becomes a rigid structure that chokes off expansion and draws opposition. This is a fear based reaction to uncertainty. Fear provokes push back. Look around, you see it everywhere. So find those who can agree to disagree and still find a way ahead. Tend your relationships, especially the one you have with yourself. Take a fearless inventory of your strengths and weaknesses, they are all part of what goes into making your dreams come true. Every bit of you contributed expands the scope of your life.
There is so much available for you right now. Why not sink into the dream you really wish for? Imagine it as possible. Take one concrete action towards it. Learn from the step, adjust and see how much power you have right now. At the very least, learn about YOU. Discover adaptability when you bring curiosity to whatever happens. Practice staying open to life as you find it. Resources are there in the communities around you. Necessity pushes us to try new things as the old no longer work. See the opportunities in chaos for more of you to matter in the world you walk through now. The Cards and Stars will help.
Thank you,

3/2/22 Pisces New Moon nine of cups
This magical Nine is the ‘Make a Wish’ card in Tarot. The red carpet is rolled out for your to make your big wish and know that within nine months it comes true. What better significator for this Moon with Jupiter in cozy connection with the Sun? What we see over the next couple of weeks is our willingness to show up for our dreams. No use having a meltdown if you can’t get what you want, the way you want it when you want it. You’ll miss the point.
The point is to find out what talents, skills. resources and connections you have that add and enlarge what you wish for. This goes back to the personal agenda issue. If you try to impose your agenda for dream building over the circumstances, you hobble what unfolds. It requires risk to stretch into the unknown. You are not well served stamping out risk. No, you are better served taking smart ones and looking for the fun factor. When you enjoy the stretch and are willing to work with the outcomes, creativity emerges and you enjoy yourself more.
It’s time to go from where you delight in something only to be disenchanted when it fails to meet expectations as you imagined it would. Instead, we find we can transform what started out delighting us into more than the original thrill. This is how you make love sustainable, long term. This turns illusion into imagination and then with investment into actuality. What places in your life started with you in love with them only to fade into a list of disappointments? Find one or two that really held your heart and invest in them whole-heartedly. It can transform it into much more than what originally held your attention. Why not try it, hmmm? There is magical energy available today. Put it to good use.
3/3/22 Ace of cups
First Mars meets up with the Dark Lord of the Underworld, then Venus does today. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself reacting to things in unconscious ways. Put a strategy in place to help you, one that suits your temperament. Breathing is always good. Tapping (Or Emotional Freedom Technique) is another way to send calming signals to your brain. By all means, be curious about what comes up for you. It isn’t an easy energy day but you can gain ground when you pay attention to how you operate.
This Ace calls for self love. For what is more loving than accepting all the different parts of personality, including the less attractive ones. Power plays always reveal who doesn’t actually trust their own power. So when manipulation occurs, through withholding or financial leverage, it’s a substitute for real personal power. Notice where you feel less powerful and then consciously talk with your younger self, the one that doesn’t know how much influence it has.
Be kind to that younger you and then take the steering wheel back. This lets you stay open to what does or doesn’t work without torquing things in one direction or another. Try it. See what happens next. By evening you get support that helps smooth over fears and allows more insight to work its way in to broaden your understanding.
3/4/22 Queen of wands
The Aries Moon meets up with Chiron today and with this fiery Queen, it helps us see where choices we make are driven by feelings or fears of lack instead of what we want. What a wonderful day to heal those old tapes. This Queen has the ability to intuitively act on things in ways that draw others to her like a good fire on a cold night. Once you see where scarcity or powerlessness sits as a motivator, you can give it your loving attention. Sometimes all that pain needs is a witness.
After it has been acknowledged, see what you feel then. There may be other emotions that have something rich to contribute to anything unfolding. Remember this is a time where you can turn fascination into something lasting. The best way to accomplish that is to bring whatever emotions come up under your gaze. Acknowledge them and love yourself while still making adjustments to integrate them in a healthier way. Just because you think or feel something, it doesn’t make it true. Center yourself. Breathe. Now find out the bigger picture without an upsetting story running your investigation. It is all good to know.
3/5/22 ten of pentacles
This Ten is one of the ‘karma cards’. As Jupiter, the Great Expander, meets up with the Sun King today in Pisces there is an expansive feeling. For some it can send you under the covers looking for escape, Pisces is sensitive to vibration being water. Better to deliberately choose your emotional container. Give yourself tasks with a beginning, middle and end to help you hold focus. If there is a creative project, all the better! This connection fuels ‘out of the box’ imaginings.
There is support for the transformational tension that ripples through the rest of the day. Remember the circumstances don’t define you, you define your circumstances. You do that by engaging with whatever happens. Tens always take things to the next level, like going to the Major League from the Minor League. If you feel a bit out of place, don’t doubt you belong on this new playing field. As you stay centered, breathe and make choices from that place you find you have a lot more impact on your world then you realized. This conjunction is Pisces sets up a whole new 12 year expansion cycle. Begin as you mean to go on and know you can do this.
3/6/22 strength
There are plenty of shock waves of small and mid size rippling through the starry skies today. No wonder the Strength card appears. She is the reminder that persuasion over force can work magic all its own. Why not find that persuasive approach even with the chatter in your head. Don’t force things, feel your way.
Like the rock climbers who do it free style, the slide their hands carefully looking for the best grip. When you do that with whatever comes your way today you may find yourself further up the mountain than you expected. Slowly, surely climb those obstacles. Let them show you how much is there inside of you. Also let them reveal what is worth your time, starting with YOU.
3/7/22 moon
Our intuitive abilities are on high beams today. It helps to ground yourself in whatever manner feels right to you. For some that means you put your attention on your feet. Actually feel the floor. Whatever you do, just remember to do it at least a couple times today. Dreams may be off the leash. So if you have a way to record them, by all means keep that handy. You may be very glad you did.
This can be a fun day to do exercise with your intuitive guidance. Write down words on a piece of paper that mean something to you. Like your pet’s name or a person you love. Then fold up and mix the paper strips so you don’t know what is where. Pull one out and hold it up to your forehead or to your heart. See if you get any images or feelings in your body. Open it up and see which one it is. Don’t worry about getting them right. I’ve seen highly skilled psychics mix up signals. It’s about being in dialogue with your inner guidance. Who said it can’t be fun and informative!
3/8/22 six of cups
Today’s Taurus Moon is trine Pluto in Capricorn, as this Six of Cups trumpets childhood memories. What’s sweet about this Lunar meet up with this particular six is there is strength to re-view your youth with adult eyes. Mercury is square the Moon so we need an adjustment to the story we tell about what happened to us – good and bad. Mother’s factor into this story, with the Moon card yesterday, the Six of Cups today. How we nurture ourselves was learned in childhood. And Mom did what she could. That doesn’t mean it was enough.
Today is a good day to see the big picture on what she did well and what she didn’t. More importantly, how have you improved on what you judge her for? And where have you excelled at things she may not have done for you, no matter how honored your mother may be? Time to right size you in relationship with your Mother. She has a unique place and always will. Still, you want a healthy view of her and what she taught you. By the time the Moon meets up with Ceres tonight, you can be feeding yourself much more nourishing views of yourself that go beyond where you began. Progress, not perfection is the goal.
3/9/22 Temperance
This card of healing is right on track as the Gemini Moon gets friendly with Chiron, the Wounded Healer. We are struck with fresh inspiration on what wounded us and how to deal with it beautifully, thanks to a little help from Mercury moving into Pisces late day. While Pisces is not Mercury’s favorite place, it’s a soft focus view and one that helps with wound work. On the caution side, this Mercury can feed you all the best stories on being a victim and it’s smart enough to find evidence.
Except that just out of focus is your personal power. Yes, it’s there too. So if you find yourself slipping into a little ‘poor me’ territory remember pain needs a witness. Give it a little attention and love and then move on to what you’ve done in spite of the pain. Honor how far you’ve come, through what obstacles! Wow, you need a high five for surviving some of those things. Go to the mirror and give one to yourself. There is a sweet biological pay off when you recognize your own strength. Good job.
3/10/22 six of swords
The Moon trines Saturn and gives us some solid ground to stand on today. This Six symbolizes moving out of the storm and into calmer seas. We can face our fears with more trust in ourselves, making our way forward with less reaction. Instead there is the ability to respond, also known as responsibility. This means we own our part in whatever happens.
No matter what the day serves up, there is a growing understanding in the power of how we respond to it. Six relates to the sign of Virgo and is a balancing energy to all the planets in Pisces. Your emotions are like the water and thoughts are the container. What benefits you the most is to select the best container for what you feel. Go for something useful and decorative why don’t you. Two sixes highlight marriage – so marry your heart and your head. They are a good team when equitably paired.
3/11/22 Princess of pentacles
The pages or princesses are the messengers of your internal state of being. They are what goes on inside of us before we act. This earthy princess is about the wisdom of your body. We walk through some aha moments along with some possibly tender moments today. So what matters is how you take care of your inner dialogue. No matter what happens, how do you talk to yourself? How do you treat yourself? Do you let your own pain be an excuse to wound others or can you instead take care of what hurts? When you do that you make sure that the world is a safer, kinder place because the conversation inside of you adds that to the world, starting with you.
3/12/22 five of cups
We get a lot of support today ahead of a sticky transit later tonight. Since Eris is the planet of betrayal and resentment, we need all the support we get ahead of it to ensure we respond wisely. This doesn’t mean you expect betrayal. It means that something may come up to remind you of it. As a wise man once said, people don’t cause pain, they release it. The story we have about what something means is usually more cruel than the intentions of those who you blame for the pain. Mostly people are self absorbed and oblivious, not vindictive.
So look at what you feel and what that feeling needs, first and foremost, needs from you. Then find where you can speak up for what you want or need. Don’t attach a big story to it. In fact you can clean away nasty thoughts that may be cluttering up the interactions you have now. This gives you a much clearer view of whatever happens and a cleaner way to respond. You’ll be glad you do, since it means you break the pattern from the old wound. Doing that is good news, no matter what else happens today.
3/13/22 eight of wands
Today’s aspects show us how to use our intuition wisely. What we put out there comes back to us. Eights are like the mobius or infinity symbol. They represent that feedback loop that helps us shape our world. The Sun meets up with Neptune early this morning to dial up our intuitive guidance system. Like Aikido, you can play with energy coming at you and learn to redirect it. If someone is hostile, you can side step it and let them blow off steam without hitting back. It pays to know when to engage and when to sidestep. Let today be a playground for you to sort out how you respond to what happens and feel your impact. Hint: rather than play with fire, better to learn how to harness its power.
3/14/22 ten of wands
This is the second ten in our series and highlights good fortune associate with a change of work. This is also the hallmark of graduating to next level. With the Leo Moon opposing Mars and then Venus, it’s time to integrate the needs of the one with the needs of many. We are back to weighing whether our personal agenda is driving things instead of working with the flow of everything going on around us. Yes it is less predictable, working choice by choice. But it is also very expansive.
See if you can pry your sticky fingers off an expected result or outcome. You don’t have to stop the desire for it, you do want to release trying to make things happen. Use flexibility, curiosity and personal power to interact with things moment by moment without too much structure, shoulds and expectations. When you can do that, you have graduated to next level and there is good fortune indeed waiting there for you in these times of change.
3/15 king of swords
We can call on the wisdom and big picture this King brings to the day to help sort out the various bits. The Leo Moon opposes the time keeper Saturn. So what do we do when things aren’t ‘on schedule’? Time to check out your relationship to patience. These delays often give you valuable time to take in a broader field of vision. In a nutshell, you get information you wouldn’t otherwise get if you rushed to a conclusion. When the Universe slows you down, can you see it as a gift? I know, it’s not easy. Results bring down our anxiety, assure us of our influence in the world. Yet how much more influential we can be when we use everything to our advantage, including delays.
3/16 king of wands
We have a mix of aspects today that help us see the future we dream of, yet it is a ways off. Two Kings together means that upright conduct meets with success. So your focus today is being sure you are in integrity with yourself and your aims. Not compromising your truth doesn’t mean no compromise. It means find creative and collaborative ways to stay true to what you want while you include what matters to those around you. Nothing strengthens an outcome like combined resources. Remember the whole is greater than the sum of the parts!
3/17/22 The world
One of the things the World stands for is a liberation from having to try. We are in uncharted territory. It’s not about efforting to get things perfect. You won’t. Just let that go. Time to embrace the imperfections and learn to play with them. Why not bring your sense of humor to whatever happens today? We can exhale tension that builds up around the need to get it right. Roll your shoulders and give a big exhale. You may be dazzled at what insights arrive when you aren’t holding the tension or perfection in your body.
