Sunday, Mar 16 2014 Full Moon
The week kicks off with a Full Moon at 26 degrees of Virgo. At this time new information about the missing Malaysia plane and pilots have been released along with a possible wreckage site on Tomnod satellite pictures where some suspected was the missing airliner.
We have all heard the effects of the full Moon where emergency room visits escalate and people act a bit more "looney" than usual. Some claim that this is an old superstition but it is a scientific fact that the ocean tides rise as the ocean on the side of Earth facing the moon gets pulled toward the Moon.
This creates high tide and pulls the ocean water away from the earth. Although there doesn't seem to be any scientific proof of the full Moon effects on humans, the fact that the human body is made up of approximately 80% of water, it is easy to understand why the full Moon may have such an effect on people.
This Full Moon exactly opposes the Moon of the Composite midpoint chart of President Obama and Vladimir Putin indicating that they may reach the next step of their negotiations over the Ukraine.
Also Leslie Hale pointed out in our last astrology podcast about the Malaysia flight, this Full Moon opposes the Uranus in the take-off chart of AirFrance flight 447 which crashed into the Atlantic Ocean due to instrument/pilot error and bad weather. This has resulted in many comparisons between the two plane incidents.
Wherever this Full Moon falls in your chart may indicate something accomplished, recognition or something finalized. It may also be the next step in a situation. Moon in Virgo focuses on details, work, health, daily routine, and possible pets.
Monday, Mar 17 2014 Mercury enters Pisces (for 2nd time)
Mercury enters Pisces today. Mercury first entered Pisces on January 31st 2014. Also on Jan 31st, Venus went stationary direct at 13 Capricorn (which falls on the April Grand Square/Cross) and indicates that something that began around this time may be revisited or going on to the next step now. Something that happens today or new information that comes out today may be related to events of last Jan 31st and possibly related to upcoming events in mid-April.
With Venus retrograde on the same day at Mercury's last sojourn into Pisces, this may be information about financial transactions or something dealing with women and/or diplomatic relations/ relationships. (The day before Mercury first entered Pisces, on Jan 30th, the second guilty verdict -or loss of appeal for the earlier conviction-of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito was handed down by the Italian courts.)
Mercury turned retrograde at 3 degrees of Pisces on Feb 6th. Mercury then moved back into Aquarius on Feb 12th (when Amanda Knox selfies went viral). (Mercury initially entered Aquarius on Jan 11th 2014.)
Mercury at 18 Aquarius stationed direct on Feb 28th the day before a New Moon at 10 Pisces on March 1st. This may have been a significant time for a new project of some kind dealing with writing, news, transportation or young people.
Mercury rules communications, news, blogs, documentation, information of all kinds, transportation and young people. Since Mercury initially entered Pisces on Jan 31st (same day as Venus went direct at 13 Capricorn) we may hear news or revisit something important that initiated around Jan 31st.
Tuesday, Mar 18 2014 Venus Sxt Uranus 11°Aq38' D 11°Ar38' D
Excitability over interactions with others. Unique expression of affections. Sharing excitement. Mental/artistic creativity.
At this time people may work together, as the 26 countries are uniting to search for the missing Malaysia plane. Groups forming on the internet, love connections on the internet as well may occur around this time.
This is an excellent time for single people to meet new potential dates online or at technological conferences, or anything dealing with space, higher technologies, computers . . . anything Uranian.
This is also an auspicious time for making money from selling computers, cell phones, or any other technological things. Making money online somehow, ebay or other sites could be lucrative around this time.
Wednesday, March 19th Mercury at 3 Pisces
This is the day that Mercury will reach 3 Pisces (the degree that it went retrograde on Feb 6th) for the second time, so there may new and powerful information revealed at this time or something related to events from Feb 6th may be re-visited at this time.
Thursday, Mar 20 2014 Sun enters Aries - Vernal Equinox, Aries Ingress
This is a special week in astronomy and astrology (in olden times these two subjects were combined and called "astronomy"). Which is why astrology is a science as well as an art as the actual positions of the planets, in relation to the earth's perspective, is the basis of calculating astrology charts.
In Western astrology, the Vernal or Spring Equinox (Latin for "equal night") begins the Tropical Zodiac at Zero degrees of Aries (the Vernal Point). This is the first day of Spring and when the day and night are exactly 12 hours or equal. So today is when the Sun enters Aries and will be at Zero degrees Aries, ie. Sun's Ingress into Aries.
We will be discussing the Aries Ingress chart, which foreshadows the rest of the year this Friday on our Astrology Podcast show: As Above - So Below.
Saturday, Mar 22 2014 Mercury Cnj Neptune 06°Pi02' D 06°Pi02' D
The use of imagination. Accurate intuitive thinking. Appreciation of subtleties. Artistic appreciation. Vision.
Illusion, delusion, confusion and working in seclusion are emphasized at this time. This is a positive time for creative thinking and imagination. This is not the best time to work out facts and figures as details may get muddled due to some missing or confusing data.
This is auspicious for researching the ocean, spirituality, or other Neptune-related endeavor. New information may come out around this time which may cause more confusion, conspiracies and/or depression/melancholy.
Don't take alleged facts at face value as propaganda and subliminal influences may be at work with advertising or other political campaigns. This time is rife with misinformation and misleading ideas.
However this is a wonderful time to create or enjoy poetry, fiction, art, music, psychic phenomena, or spending time by the water. Helping the less fortunate and even spending some time alone may be most productive and satisfying now.
