‘ Women Bathing’ Gauguin 1885 {{PD}}

19 March it’s like our own personal Kryptonite is floating around in the air, wiping us out, even when we try to follow the smart path, to stick to our strengths, to follow the rules, to avoid the wrath of authorities—and yet somehow we are letting our contrariness show around the edges, and others are responding as if we’re in full-out rebellion! The key to this is: quit trying to find a ‘safe’ avenue for power expression—there isn’t one, right now—every move looks like a threatening one to those who fear their power is built on bluster and the backs of others, rather than their own effort. Instead, abandon the material world, to whatever extent you are able, and enter either a spiritual one or one of fantasy and escape—in either case, you’ll find a climate more conducive to creative thinking and acceptance of individuality, and you can spend the time enriching your inner life, until the sh*t storm passes. (Perfecting today: Chiron contra-parallel Ceres, Sun contra-parallel Juno, Uranus sesquiquadrate Pallas, Sun quincunx and contra-parallel Vesta)

17 March is an odd day where it feels like anything can happen. The contrast between those things we rely on as measures (our highest values, our level and extent of empowerment, our wisdom and experience, the clarity of the psychic ‘light’ in which we observe our surroundings) and the seeming lack of capacity we currently enjoy in which to exercise our prerogatives is sharp and glaring. It seems that to do what’s smart automatically creates pain, efforts to expand our world, to learn or teach, or to explore something new and exotic is unduly costly or interferes seriously with important relationships—and communication seems to have fallen into a fog from which it can’t get up! If we can drift and dream today, and really want to discover something, we can inspect our pain for the wisdom it holds; it’s the shadows that tells us where things stand today, not the sunlight. (Vesta contra-parallel Juno, Chiron parallel Pallas and the Sun quincunx Pallas, Venus quincunx Jupiter, Mercury enters Pisces)

‘Between the Waves’ Aivazovsky 1898 {{PD}}

3 March skills may not get paid what they’re worth, and it’s like someone shines a huge spotlight on our identity and ego injuries. The good thing is, this can be a point of purging, a release from wounds that have tied up some part of our talents—these can now go free. We are tuned in to our ambitions and desires, and we are on point with our actions. It’s really the solid undercurrents that save the day, so don’t let the surface roughness take over; if you do you’ll miss a real opportunity to advance your own cause. (Mars parallel Pallas, Venus semi-square Chiron, Sun parallel Zeus, conjunct Chiron, sextile Pluto)

I’m in the throes of working my way through the special eclipse report offer for subscribers, so won’t be able to post as often as I typically do for the entire month of March, plus. You can get your fix by subscribing, or choose from the many links at right–and do check back as I’ll be here as often as possible–thanks!
