Today’s New Moon Eclipse is a cosmic gift for seeding intentions and starting projects related to healing. For I say unto you: it would be easier for a honeypossum to sculpt a perfect likeness of Aleister Crowley out of marmalade and motor oil than it would be to escape the effects of an Eclipse. This eclipse, in exact opposition to beneficent Jupiter, triggers the Virgo-Pisces axis of healing. It also forms part of a stellium in Pisces that includes Mercury, ruler Neptune, both of the luminaries, and Chiron, the wounded healer. The Sabian symbol reinforces the theme and points to the role of spiritual healing methods: MASTER AND PUPIL COMMUNE IN STRENGTH ON A LONG WALK. Body strengthening function of the soul. Release from race karma. Transmutation of everyday facts into intelligence. Well, Your Name, have you come this far to spread intricate sadness with all possible combinations of dour gesticulations and complex facial contortions? Didn't think so. Is there any way the New Moon in Pisces could please you without resorting to the obvious? By the time we come to Pisces, we've been and are everything. Identities and boundaries get very fuzzy at this stage, and they're supposed to. Moon in Pisces reminds us that we are on an infinite journey, ever leaving, ever returning. Where have we been? And who are we? We are a raindrop. We are the ocean. As warm jets, we are two fishes swimming in opposite directions, symbolizes the imperative to integrate two dimensions - the finite and the infinite. Neptune, which rules Pisces, was the mythic God of the Sea; he is associated with the swells of emotion and the vast mysteries of the collective unconscious. In the modern Western world, this is largely misunderstood territory. Chickadees have been known to fornicate with badgers here, for christsakes. The moon, she is in the sign of fishes. Sobbing and laughing from the fjord to the poorhouse, The beneficial effects of the Piscean hormone melatonin have been part of the health supplement scene for some time, for high melatonin production is known to be synonymous with a high immune system, a low cancer risk, long life, energy, stamina, and according to many, enhanced spiritual awareness. Perhaps it is fitting then that this hormone is secreted by the pineal gland, a mysterious little item long believed by mystics to be the "Seat of the Soul," "Me Third Eye," and the organ through which psychic powers are exercised. In fact, it actually functions as an organ of sight in some reptiles, and it still seems to possess some sensitivity to light in higher mammals, since melatonin production increases when the person is exposed to darkness (thus melatonin means "night worker!") High melatonin production thereby increases the facility for receiving and transmitting high-frequency cosmic and local broadcasts, and leads to a greater state of cosmic awareness - a state simply of ’knowing.’ In this regard, it is interesting to note that the Pineal Third Eye has been found to contain very fine granular particles, rather like the crystals in a wireless receiving set.Many magical rites and meditation techniques are aimed at gaining control of this organ and the fluid it produces: Veering at the mercy of decadent thighs, In billowing abandonment, A serpent dancing on the coy derrière, A baton in the bawdy dunes When the social life of Earth is harmonized, our planet will re-join the Metaverse of Passion & undergo vast transformations, affecting human form, weather, animals, & plants, even the oceans. Passion draws humanity into association just as gravity draws celestial bodies into orbital systems. Once just the flypaper scaffold of a vision - now a glorious reality..Once just sandgrains in a molecular hourglass - now miles of golden beaches. So I knelt there at the delta, at the alpha and the omega, at the cradle of the river and the seas. And a violet flame from heaven came for something like a second I was healed and my heart was at ease. . True to the promise of release “from race karma,” Uranus the liberator also gets a leading role, in exact semi-sextile to the South Node Eclipse, and quincunx—also exact—to protagonist Jupiter. Our healing may come suddenly and is definitely related to freedom. With Uranus in Aries, sign of selfhood, and activating the South Node, today’s lunation has to do with the release of whatever blocks the expression of our essence, and the escape from molds that have been boxing us in. Its link to both Jupiter in Virgo, sign of healing treatments, and to energetic, rebellious Uranus in Aries, indicates a connection to the larger, evolutionary context that is part of our collective opportunity. In the Neptune-Pisces era, when methods of self-healing surge, we are invited to go for it with our own preferred methods, or explore those available so we can choose them. If we resist the call and continue to put off our healing, unexpected events may quickly push us into it. Whether our goals of wellness be for our inner child, physical body or souls, there will be few portals so apt to take them up. The strong presence of Jupiter and Neptune, rulers of angels, indicate cosmic assistance available, as does the involvement of asteroid Raphaela, opposite the lunar stellium and conjunct Virgo. Her name in Hebrew is the considered to be the female equivalent of Raphael, Archangel of healing, and literally means “God has healed.” It would be easier for a western screech owl to throw a javelin through the hole of a doughnut at a distance equivalent to the length of three soccer fields than it would be to escape the effects of an Eclipse.
Wednesday, March 9
Moon went VOC yesterday evening on a conjunction to Sun in Pisces, and another conjunction with healing asteroid Chiron following on its heels. The influences linger this morning, and with them the themes from yesterday’s very special portal, which are worth rereading. Wednesday is ruled by Mercury, planet of communication, and key player in the Eclipse stellium. Mantras, affirmations and other uses of words for healing are particularly propitious. The tempo picks up at 11:40 am (2:40 pm ET), when Moon enters Aries, moving us to act on guidance and decisions triggered by yesterday’s lunation. A trine to Mars in Sagittarius gives a boost to the warrior within. We can break through inner and outer resistance to effective action, and defend a loved one or cause—perhaps the cause of our own healing. Teamwork with compatible others and legal action are favored, but avoid unnecessary confrontation or challenging dealings, unless they are required for your heart-centered breakthroughs.

Take physical exercise in Jupiter's Day, when he is reigning, and use Jovial things such as Lapis Lazuli, Brass, Cedarwood, blue and aery colours, wine, honey; and entertain thoughts and feelings which are particularly Jovial, that is, expansive, healthy, and with good humour... - Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Astrologer and Orphic Musician
We are restless, and morning can be a productive time, although there is tension in the air and it is worth holding to the healing insights of the recent Eclipse portal by giving ourselves space and taking breaks, however brief, to return to center. At 5:43 pm (8:43 ET), Moon joins Uranus, planet of freedom, bringing a ray of clarity into what may seem like the fog of the last few days. The Eclipse magic is still alive, however, as Sun joins Chiron, the wounded healer, and Mercury the thinker joins mystical Neptune, all four in intuitive Pisces.

The Day of Venus in Fireweek. If you actively invoke blessed HANIEL, the Archangel of Venus into your heart today, you may find you have developed the ability to feel like Khrisna, multiplying himself into a dozen pastoral, naked farmhands with muddy feet and emerald pond scum on their thighs, or maybe you are a young Freya on the back of a panther, eating honey. We can make breakthroughs in promoting our creativity this morning, as Aries Moon has the nerve to share the gifts of a predominantly Piscean ambience without the perfectionism that so often blocks artistic manifestation. This is also a day to pop the question or at least enjoy a romantic brunch or lunch—depending on your time zone—before Moon goes VOC on a sextile-kiss to Venus, goddess of love and beauty. Just 20 minutes later, Moon enters fertile Taurus, and can help us finish what has been an angelic but rather ethereal Eclipse week with some concrete progress. The energies are ripe for productivity in finance, business and artistic endeavors, and in romance and excitement. The prevalence of Venusian and Neptunian influences optimize today’s numerology of 11, opening a portal that can lift the love vibration of the planet. With the silent green lantern radiance of your heart, bless and forgive yourself and others.
Saturday, March 12
This is not the morning to stay at home in a lotus position with your mind blank. Inspiration surges and can help us visualize and communicate creatively, as Taurus Moon sextiles Neptune and Venus, and then pushes us to progress with a midday contact to Saturn. Come afternoon and evening, work on healing can be rewarding, as can steps taken to generate affluence.
Sunday, March 13
The Day of the Sun in the Week of Fire. Between dark and light the angles of times are best manifest at their balance, so invoke Apollo, Ra, Elvis, or the baby-faced Sun god from the Teletubbies into your heart Chakra this morning. Our Qabalistic thunderbolt of revelation resembles a corkscrew in more ways than one March 13 was the Spring Equinox and New Year celebration in ancient Mexico. Enjoy the fertile balance of masculine and feminine energies expressed in the first new life now bursting greenly forth after winter. Morning is propitious as Taurus Moon calls us to honor the goddess with an abundant brunch or lunch in the garden, park or woods. At 2:03 pm (5:03 ET), Moon enters Gemini with tense aspects that stir us from our bliss. It’s a time to do crossword puzzles and errands, dive into a book and edit copy. Keep the tone harmonious and avoid the temptation to make sarcastic or unnecessarily sharp remarks.
Monday, March 14
Moon in Gemini incites us to communicate, while tense aspects involving ruler Mercury and Saturn, the taskmaster, suggest that connections won’t necessarily flow. Do not expect curb service with the mind that we had previously, because we now Have a Quantum Mind Deluxe . Love is the Law. With the subtlety of a sledgehammer, thought and expression, the depth of imagination, and the ability to think non-verbally inspire you to create beautiful art and music. Cyclonic Banshee Satori is the new mantra we assign to you free of charge. You want one of the round thingies, too? A mandala? All we have left are the ones with Aztec Mermaids in Cowboy Hats Riding Turquoise Emus. Oh, you’ve already got one of those? Well, you’ll have to wait if you want the Hedge-Devas on Bumblebees. Next week, maybe. Moon-Mars and Moon-Mercury trines lift our spirits and spread joy. Giant maple keys may come spiralling from the sky to cut off the heads of the Evil Ones and delight the children. Laughter will clear our hearts of sadness. Skyscrappers should be renamed cloudsnaggers. Call on the inner adult and push yourself to take care of bureaucracy and finish pending projects, such as writing, editing, creating a presentation, touching up or documenting research, or following through on communications with someone who needs to hear from you. Joy, inspiration and harmonious connections kick in late tonight. We receive them in our dreams or by staying up late.
Nice. I like the panther reference. My life is devoted to Bast now, and that resonates.
