March 6^th

Uranus enters Taurus

Having briefly flirted with this sign from May – November of 2018, Uranus is finally ready to commit to Taurus. The planet of upheaval in the most solid of earth signs is a situation we’ll spend 7 years understanding personally and collectively. In Taurus until 2026, Uranus will ask us to re-invent the area of our life and chart that contains Taurus. For a full rundown of what that means for you, please take a look at the Uranus in Taurus horoscopes from last May.

8:04 AM PT – New Moon at 15° Pisces

The sorrow we sit with may have no solution. The loss that we have lived through may have no bow, no wrap, no box to be placed in. The most unimaginable events of our lives come without answers. They ask to be witnessed but offer no promise of spectacular resolve, just a quiet deepening of our relationship with ourself over time. Sometimes with the most painful of processes there is only a steady learning of how to be with it, refusing to leave yourself because of it.

Those things untenable that have happened to us, happened. This we must accept. Their meanings have to be detangled from our sense of self and worth, but the imprint they have made upon us is unchangeable. Their impact undeniable. The act of acknowledging them is a gateway to a new relationship with what pains us, a gateway that hopefully leads to blessings greater than the harm done to us.

Without acknowledgement, the burdens we bear pull from our every resource. Taxing our systems. Distorting our drive. Veering us in directions that have less to do with our natural inclination and more to do with our desire to make a wrong right. A noble pursuit, but until we have done the work of acknowledging, unpacking, and interrupting our wounds from festering, there is little right to be wrought. The journey that healing requires demands we develop a determined desire to reflect on the events of our life and to understand the ways in which they have shaped us. Not to change what happened, but in order to make sure we don’t perpetuate more of the same.

In a world that loves to commodify our struggle, sell solutions, mass market rags to riches, and televise our triumphs, we are often left yearning for something more than the instagramable moments of our lives. We need containers that will hold us through the senseless cruelty we have, and do, face. We have every right to want it all to make sense, to contextualize our suffering, but if that is our only end game we miss a million moments of meaning along the way.

The new moon in Pisces occurs on March 6th at 8:04 AM PT. Conjunct Neptune, planet of illusions, delusions, ideals, deceptions, and compassionate connection, this new moon highlights the areas of life we’ve been in denial about. Happening on the heals of Mercury’s station retrograde (Mercury is retrograde from March 5th through March 28th), and within a degree of where Mercury will station direct, this new moon reflects back to us more than one feeling, need for healing, or personal pattern.

The beginning of Mercury’s retrograde always signifies an issue that we’ll come back to, but because this new moon occurs at the same place in the sky as Mercury’s station direct (meaning Mercury will travel all the way back to this point), and is conjunct Neptune (as Mercury will be when it stations direct), it is a significant signature to consider.

Systemic oppression relies on cognitive dissonance. For many, the caustic mix of too much power and close to no need to be accountable for our actions, means havoc is wreaked. Our very human idols are far from infallible and, at this point especially, it is beyond irresponsible of us to think otherwise.

What used to be swept under the rug, culturally, communally, and globally is finding ways to rise to the surface. Pisces is a sign that slips out of the cracks and crevices. The smallest of inches given are flooded by its waters. We can’t put the tea back in the cup once spilled, nor should we want to. There is too much to cleanse. Too many dank crevices to wash out. Too many cries stifled that need to be received.

This new moon and Mercury retrograde cycle spills.

It will be, at times, unmanageable, unruly, and uncooperative, but that is what life should be like when it’s lived honestly. One admission of harm sparks the memories of a million more. It’s not supposed to be an experience one can fold up like socks and neatly organize in a basket.

These next few weeks put us in line with exactly what we need for the next layer of our healing. Sextile Mars and Saturn, the new moon itself sets us out on our healing journey feeling supported. And after the new moon, the astrology is filled with many little blessings that add up to something substantial if we can parse out the reality from the fantasy, and our expectations for how we should heal with how we need to right now.

March 8th

Sun in Pisces sextile Saturn in Capricorn, both at 18°

Today’s astrology encourages us to put our best efforts forth. Saturn helps us to build confidence through small, steady steps towards success. Keep going, even when the path leads you two steps forward and many back.

March 10th

Mars in Taurus sextile Neptune in Pisces, both at 16°

The warrior and the dreamer team up to bring us themes of inspired action. This astrology reminds us that when we move towards what we believe in, it moves towards us too.

March 13^th

Sun in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn, both at 22°

Today’s astrology brings us to deep places with greater ease than normal. Access to riches open up when we risk being honest.

Sun in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius, both at 23°

Always uplifting, usually overzealous, the sun square Jupiter can help us feel renewed, if not a little unrealistic about our abilities. Careful not to overextend yourself, your calendar, and your expectations.

March 14^th

Mars in Taurus trine Saturn in Capricorn, both at 18°

Today wants to win. With Mars and Saturn in positive alignment, little can stop them. Use this astrology to call up your determination to get the job done, whatever that may be.

Mercury Rx makes its inferior conjunction to the sun at 24° Pisces

It’s up to each one of us to clean up the messes we’ve made and to honor the process of doing so. It’s the way we stay humble and hydrated. It’s the way we stop ourselves from thinking we are above, beyond, or too good to for the realities of life. It’s the way that we get to the truth.

Today marks and important point in Mercury’s retrograde cycle. As Mercury makes its inferior conjunction to the sun, it helps us get to the heart of a matter. Here, Mercury gets a solar infusion that helps it regain some of the strength it lost along the first half of its retrograde. Pay close attention to the messes you realize are yours to tend to, the messages you receive, and the inspiration that comes when you stay tuned into your inner process.

March 15^th

Mercury Rx in Pisces square Jupiter in Sagittarius, both at 23°

Here sentiments are expressed with great inspiration and possibly exaggeration. These aren’t skies to convey hard truths under, but they will wax poetic till the cows come home. Be wary of false prophets and open to inspiration at the same time.

March 16^th

Mercury Rx in Pisces sextile Pluto in Capricorn, both at 22°

Whatever Mercury is helping you review leads you to a deeper understanding of it. This astrology asks us to excavate quite a bit, but it isn’t without ample reward. The less afraid you are of what it is you’ll find, the more you’ll be able to do with what you dig up. All information at this point is important, but it isn’t the whole story. Stay tuned in to what is going on underneath the surface of your situation as that is where the real value of your story lies.

March 17^th

Mercury Rx in Pisces sextile Mars in Taurus, both at 21°

Here The Messenger feels emboldened by the Warrior and encouraged to seek the truth of the situation. The information that has been excavated may be empowering and encouraging you to take action in ways that feel healing for having done so.

Aries & Aries Rising

Memories, and the emotions attached to them bring information that I never refuse. Timing is everything and any part of my past that is being recovered right now is worth investigating. Even briefly. I know not to hang on to what is moving through me, but I also know not to resist the current.

I am both the container for my experience and the witness of how it pours forth.

Like water overflowing, I allow my imagination to play with the possibilities of what it looks like to live into, through, and beyond the stories of my life. To survive is to defy.

What I allow to define me is my choice, my point of power, and my right to change when and where I need to. With this new moon I am reminded to take note of what I am calling myself, how I am referring to myself, and what that infers to myself. I am here for my liberation, and anything that needs to be released on the way to my personal freedom must be given back to its owner.

Within the incubators that house my creative energy I give myself permission to regenerate. Here I reclaim myself, rename myself if need be, and remember that I am always becoming, undefined by what has happened to me or hasn’t happened for me.

Taurus & Taurus Rising

I pay close attention to what I hear repeatedly from loved ones, friends, colleagues, and those whose opinions I trust. I pay close attention to the parts of my ego that get bruised in the process, but closer attention to the parts of my heart that are given space to heal. Working through difficulties with others takes time and consideration. Careful attention to details and the patience to let the process unfold is a must if I want to grow through any challenge given to me.

I know that rushing a solution finds me no solace in the long run, but neither does avoiding the event altogether.

With this new moon I am open to reviewing the ins and outs of my connections with others. Without needing to be a savior for anyone, right about anything, or ahead of any of it, I am dedicated to staying with myself through it.

As much shifts in my life and as a result, my ideas of myself, I am made aware of all the ways in which I have been misrepresented. All the ways in which I have shrunk myself down to a deceptive description of who I am. All the ways in which I have been cheated out of taking myself, my talent, and my options seriously. I refuse to let my reputation remain inside of safe containers. I know that to grow is to risk losing all that I have accumulated, but I also know that I am so much more than what surrounds me. With this new moon I rededicate myself to the paths that challenge my growth the most.

Gemini & Gemini Rising

I’d rather be honest about my mistakes, mishaps, and learning curves than be perceived as someone I am not. I’d rather be honest than be right. I’d rather be honest than pristine.

The truth is sometimes a mess.

As long as I have my integrity, precarious positions don’t bother me. Comfort that comes at the cost of withholding an essential truth keeps me up at night. I come to my professional and public roles with the intention of discovering, understanding, and communicating as honestly as possible.

If what I do in the world is genuine, it will also be, by default, healing. When I am able to be straightforward, I have a greater capacity to clear out the obstacles in front of me, personally and professionally. I work to leave a legacy of what it means to live and work truthfully. Not impressively. Not even spectacularly. I can’t carry all the glamor and glitz with me when I leave here, but the truth will always lift me up and carry me where I need to go.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

I honor the editing process that I am in. Like weeding an overgrown garden, I remove what is unhelpful in order to bring out the beauty naturally present.

I work with this new moon to clear what clutters my path. Doubts that have no sense need to be dumped. Fears that have no foundation need to be exposed as the frauds that they are. Shame that no longer serves a purpose needs to be shown the door. This clearing is mine to do. It can’t be shopped out, left for another, or put off.

This helps me take responsibility for the direction I am heading in, but it also helps me feel empowered in the process of doing so. The more I own my desire to head in the direction of my dreams, the less likely I am to resent the work necessary to get there.

With this new moon I claim the path that I am on, all that it asks of me, and all that it asks me to give up, miss out on, or forgo for it. I am crystal clear about the price and that the payoff is to merely be in this process with it.

I use this Mercury retrograde to review my strategies, maps, and ways of getting from point A to B, making sure that they leave me open to get all the way to Z.

Leo & Leo Rising

Every feeling I have has a right to exist. It doesn’t have a right to rule my decisions, actions, or directions in life, but I give each emotion space to breathe. Allowing my feelings to roam freely opens up the option for their dissipation. Being honest about what I am feeling frees my energy up. If I don’t need to push away what I don’t understand, I can explore what it wants to show me, teach me, lead me towards.

This freedom finding is my job. The most important thing for me to professionally pursue. The liberation I allow myself lifts my career out of the realm of the ordinary and into the realm of the soulfully satiating. Over the next 7 years, it’s my job to see what my professional pursuits are capable of. It’s my job to work towards freeing the potential of my profession as a whole, but not solely on my own. Through me, and those around me on the same page, a change is taking place. A new age needs to be brought into this industry. What I am doing out in the world is about more than just me, it’s about finding all the ways possible to harness the power of lightening and use it for the change we are all hungry for.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

I am made stronger by every moment of vulnerability I have allowed myself. Even when I’m met with less warmth than I’d hoped from others, I’m still fortified by my own efforts. Being honest in front of others takes courage. I am willing to look like a human who makes both mistakes and as many attempts to get it right as it requires. I am willing to be humbled by all that I still need to learn. I am willing to be misunderstood on the way to being known.

I’m in no rush to be right.

My relationships require me to learn how to be open to my own experience when I’d rather shut down, shut you out, or shut the door completely. When I am able to hang out in the moments of wanting to do so, without actually doing so, I know that growth is occurring. I know that change is possible. I know that from this place all the information I need becomes available to me. With much change on the horizon, I know that developing the skills to sit with what’s uncertain and uncomfortable is more than useful, it’s the most reliable compass I’ll ever have contact with.

Libra & Libra Rising

Hesitations need to be investigated. The little nudges from my gut that tell me to wait for the right moment are my secret weapon, but others are just doubts that too easily get turned into my downfalls. My work is to know which to act on and which to actively undo. I take this moment up on its offer to look deeper into the nature of my hesitations.

When I stop myself out of fear of being rejected, I know I have also stopped myself from experiencing the thrill of chasing my dreams. My drive and dreams alone guarantee little, but there’s no way I’ll know what they are capable of if I don’t risk my comfort. Over the next 7 years my collaborations are key to my success. My ability to state what I want and what I am willing to do to achieve it will be a huge factor in finding the right match for my magic. I work with the new moon to recommit to the professional partnerships and projects that put me in line with what heals me by merely working towards it. If it isn’t helping to transform me in some way, it likely won’t do so for others. I am willing to risk a lot, but only for the things that feel like they have an unlimited ability to bring healing here.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

I focus on the process of creating. I study its healing impact on my life. Following its flow reminds me that there is no right way to make a life, there’s only the act of trying my best to do so. With sincerity, integrity, and willingness, I put myself in alignment with what wants me, honestly.

I don’t want it if it wasn’t meant for me and I won’t grieve it if it was never mine in the first place. This goes for love, life, and all things under the sun. I am open to the innovations that my partnerships are experiencing. As I grow, my needs change. As I appreciate more of myself, my tastes change. As I honor my boundaries, my attractions change.

I am here for what is real.

No illusion of love, no illusion of power, no facade of fame can ever satiate the hunger I have for living a life I can sink my teeth into. No one has fangs as formidable as mine, and it would be a crying shame not to put them to good use.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

Whatever is being unearthed within me is right on time. I trust the timing when the past comes back for review. I know that there is a wisdom to the ways in which my healing happens. Even though parts of it are painful, the unfolding of it is always poignant. Serendipity has its own kind of sweetness. Knowing that what is happening isn’t random awakens within me a faith where there was none.

Whatever part of my past robbed me of hope needs to be investigated. I came into this world full of love, joy, and the capacity to trust. Whatever took that away was an important turning point in my process. I owe it to myself to look into it instead of away from it. I owe it to my future to learn how to hold the impact of the most challenging aspects of my past. I owe those that imparted this pain upon me nothing, but I owe the part of me that was harmed, everything. With this new moon I remember that I have the power and the right to retrieve any and all parts of me that have suffered in silence.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

I’m interested in what helps me to create a deeper connection to my days. I am invested in being present for the many movements of them. I am inclined to rush through each event and on to the next one, but I challenge myself to miss the richness of the moment.

I trust that any miscommunications, mishaps, and misunderstandings are meant to be. Instead of investing my energy in being frustrated at how the direction of my days differs from what I want, I practice finding the opportunity in every situation. I read a delayed flight, a missed call, a misplaced piece of paper just like I would a tarot card. Sometimes it’s just time to slow down. Sometimes it’s not personal. Sometimes life is doing what it does and I have to deal.

Conversations with dear ones lead me to a deeper understanding of where I need to go, what I need to do next, and where my energy is best placed. I don’t rush past these interactions. Every conversation that connects me to a feeling that’s been quietly accumulating within is given my respect, attention, and consideration. I know that every time I’m given a reflection that gets my attention, I’m onto something deeper than it appears. I take time to unpack complicated feelings, respectfully. Rushing no reasoning for them. Feeling no way about giving myself time to get to the bottom of things.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

What is mine to work with has always been and will always be. I need not fight it, push it, or feel like someone else can take it from me. My resources may take their own time to develop, but they deserve every second they need to take shape. I trust that when the tide ebbs it will flow again. I trust that the projects that wash up on shore are gifts for me to develop. I know that anything that gets lost at sea need not concern me.

I am here to work on what is in front of me. No fantasy. Just the reality of working towards my dreams with every solid, grounded, effort I can make. I no longer place my talent, time, and resources into containers too leaky to hold them. Ideas without action aren’t failures, they are foolish to focus on. If I want it, I work towards it. Inwardly and outwardly.

I’m healing my relationship to my financial life no matter the damage, drain, or despair that I’ve experienced because of it. I am not at the whim of my livelihood, but the curator in relationship with it and all it might be able to do.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

I move towards what feels liberating while knowing it will still require me to do some heavy lifting. Practice is perfection. Waiting for inspiration is not a strategy I invest in but I do pay attention to the projects, people, and events in my life that excite me. I practice getting quiet and feeling where my life wants me next. Instead of pushing at what I want, I practice relaxing into what is working. I keep reinvesting my energy into what sustains me. I keep untangling myself from what is draining. I keep attuning myself to my inner dialogue, getting better acquainted with what I tell myself on repeat so I know if its worthy of being played at all.

I commit to listening to myself without judgement. Whatever thoughts or feeling surface, I promise to let them be. I will not shame myself because I have been taught to diminish myself. I will not condemn myself before I have understood myself. I will not refuse myself any kindness or consideration. I will treat myself as tenderly as I would any other human in need of understanding, comfort, and a soft place to land.
