Ill winds in the month of March, perhaps, but only if you're silly enough to be in Australian politics.
I truly hope politics in it's current MO does not survive a Pluto square without being rebuilt, reconfigured, and re thought. It is beyond the Pale across the world.
I like what Richard Flanagan had to say about politics:
We need politics like we need sewerage and like sewerage we should want it to work properly and well, but we should not make too much of it. Not create of it a fetish, by glorifying it daily with celebrations and watching it incessantly on 24 hour tv stations. We make too much of our political leaders and their work, their failings their strivings, their successes, and we make too little of ourselves. For if we take our compass from power we will inevitably arrive in despair, but if we take our compass from those around us, we will arrive at hope.
Richard Flanagan~ Alan Missen Lecture, 2011
Meanwhile out in the Cosmos.
March is looking to be quite the month astrologically.
A few highlights :
- 5th March, Mercury conjunct Uranus in Aries.
- 6th March, Venus enters Taurus.
- 8th March, Full Moon in Virgo. The moon will pass over Mars ( still retrograde) about twelve hours before it is 'full'. This could add a little added angst to what promises to be a fairly intense full moon.
- 12th March, Mercury stations retrograde in Aries.
- 14th March, Venus and Jupiter in Taurus, will form a grand trine between Mars in Virgo, and Pluto in Capricorn. All three are at around 9 degrees of each sign from the 14th of March through until the 16th-17th at a stretch.
The grand trine between Jupiter/Venus, Mars and Pluto is a golden opportunity to examine your ducks who, I gather are supposed to be in a row by now. This trine provides a practical way in which you can get your mojo moving for the year ahead with the greatest of ease and elegance in the face of so much retro business.
If a dreamy, Piscean blur (or is that bleurgh) has over come you of late, tap into this trine to get your show on the road. It's in the Earth signs, (Virgo, Taurus and Capricorn) so is bound to ground (as in earth not ground as in coffee) our best potentials for the times into realities.
Retrograde planets mean difficulties with free flowing energy, but no problems with the 're' words--review, reinvention, reconsideration, redaction, reconnaissance and relaxation.
BY SIGN
♈ Aries
Full moon in your 6th House, scant days after Mercury conjuncts Uranus in Aries. Sorry Aries, keep biting your lip, bursting though you may be. Your time will come. Grand trine highlights areas of cash, health, and career. Recommended: long, thoughtful solitary, power walks at night and window-shopping for art, jewelllery, beautiful things.
♉ Taurus
Full moon in your 5th House of adventure, creativity, music and romance. Grand trine in your house of you, (1st), higher learning and broader horizons (9th) and house of children, romance, adventures music, art, (5th). Venus enters Taurus on (6th) and feels right at home here, you feel pretty darn nice really. Recommend: eating, gardening, reading. Sans guilt for best results.
♊ Gemini
Full moon in your 4th house, is a culmination of all 4th house activity. Venus moves into your twelfth on the twelfth, you could be a beautiful dreamer for a while-- literally. Your spiritual life informs, influences and supports the broad spectrum of who you are and/or how you appear. To do: observe, check career progress, stay calm and Trust.
♋ Cancer
Full moon in your third house of communications, siblings, and thinking. This could have you feeling a bit bogged down or overwhelmed. Don't be. The trine between Jupiter/Venus in Taurus, Mars (Rx) in Virgo and Pluto in Capricorn gives you a feeling of the lovely solidity of feeling you have within relationships, friends and how you easily relate. Surrender to the snafu situations. Study, read think about far off places and Chill.
♌ Leo
The full moon highlights your cash and resources area. With Mars here, you've undoubtedly been putting a fair bit of energy into getting this area of your life. A grand trine in Earthy neighbours suggests more work here with cash and resources; once Mars goes forward things should flow a little easier. Into the mix you need to completely (and continuously) transform your daily routine and health regimens but most especially, love and enjoy your career, public life and let it expand you beautifully.
♍ Virgo
The full moon is in Virgo the house of you. Work-in a revolutionised approach to your need for, and the ways in which you create solely for your own sense of pleasure (!) and for the sake of expanding your horizons. Think ahead Virgo. Plan a trip or immerse yourself in the study of something beyond your current horizon.
♎ Libra
The full moon is in your house of dreams, mysteries and spiritual verities. The grand trine is an opportunity to see how the your 4th, (home, mother, origins) 8th, (death, taxes, sex, debts) and 12th (dreams, illusions, spiritual truths) can be integrated. Traditionally, Venus in the 8th house can mean cash from out of the blue. Think big!
♏ Scorpio
The full moon is in your 11th house of groups, friends, and humanitarian ideals. Bringing something to a head in relation to these themes or areas in your life. The grand trine of planets in Earth signs, gives you an opportunity to transform your communications with those nearest and dearest and most romantic perhaps in their relation to humanitarian or broader social influences.
♐ Sagittarius
The full moon is in your 10th house of career and public life. The grand trine gives you an opportunity to work out how your approach to cash and resources can be worked into your daily routine and how this may be made manifest with or through the involvement of groups.
♑ Capricorn
The full moon is in your 9th house of broader horizons and higher learning. The trine between Pluto in your 1st house, Mars in your 9th, and Jupiter/Venus in your 5th, suggests that someone of a serious disposition like your good self, needs to work more fun/adventure/excitement/creativity into their lives in order for Pluto to get on with the transformation. (I like that idea so much I've emboldened it.) Be emboldened in your quest to have a good time.
♒ Aquarius
The full moon is in your 8th house of death, taxes, shared resources and sex. The window of opportunity that the grand trine produces is for your spiritual life to be made more resilient, through your understanding of the element inheritance plays in your life. This is a grounding influence regarding mysterious or otherworldly things, which sounds quite contradictory in some respects, but you're up for that too.
♓ Pisces
The full moon is in your 7th house of close relationships. The window of opportunity this grand trine provides is through your outreach into the community via partnerships. Jupiter has been encouraging you to expand and test out your feelings and ideas even if that has mean't not necessarily communicating them. Check and double check this is the season for re-visioning all your associations.
