Rather than being dissuaded by the fears and old demons that can hover about Saturn and Pluto transits, this week they are asking us to channel their powerful capacity for transformation within our personal lives. We can change habits, renovate a home, rebuild our lives, and find resurrection. All the more so in the light of the Full Pink Moon in Libra this week, which aims to restore the balance, and find peace. We could use quite a bit of that right now. 

On Friday, the day of the Equinox, Mercury makes its direct station, ending its retrograde phase. And perhaps thankfully so, as we see the mayhem lingering from the combination of the recent eclipses combined with a retrograde Mercury trying to get us on track with our destiny. So chaotic. So unpredictable. We begin to see the consequences of decisions made in the past, as well as confirmation for commitments we are now needing to make. And so our collective Karma unfolds. 

On Wednesday (Thursday) we have a New Moon in Pisces. A time of new beginnings, bringing a sense of renewal in our lives. Expect things to come to the foreground concerning our spiritual lives and aspirations; connecting with our dreams, and how we can make our lives more meaningful. This will be different for each of us, but to invest our lives with deeper meaning is just the medicine we are needing right now. 

This week is packed with all sorts of subliminal messages aiming to connect us with the behests of the soul. But also interlaced with all of this is Hope. And that is true even in the face of the extraordinary events of the previous week. May hope, conscience and the behests of the soul lead us to make only the best choices over the weeks ahead.

The Total Lunar Eclipse in Virgo on March 3rd brings closure to what may have felt like a very chaotic and at times stressful Eclipse season. Going within and trusting our own inner guides, can help us to get back on track, not only with our lives, but even our own destiny. 

Just days after the Solar Eclipse, Saturn and Neptune complete their conjunction in the first degree of the first sign of the zodiac. And although at first they may appear to cancel each other out, together they are capable of making our dreams a closer and more achievable reality. The speed picks up this week, even as we are being asked to step back, slow down and look within.

Among the phenomenon this week: Venus rises as an evening star on the same day as the eclipse on Tuesday. Mercury accompanied by the sacred Nodes of the Moon enters its shadow period before its retrograde. Saturn enters Aries daring to defy the chaos brewing with an Annular Solar Eclipse square Uranus. This could be a tipping point. Hang on.

Saturn does not like change. Saturn likes its foundations to remain firm. It prefers familiarity, and fears having all that has been established to be in danger of becoming irrelevant, or end. So Saturn resists. But it will soon become evident that the only constant in life is change. Saturn does not stand a chance. The beginning is near. And it is inevitable. 

We grow along with the Full Moon this weekend, which shines a light on all of the activity happening in the Aquarius realm of our lives: the people on the ground, the everyday people, engaging, organizing, gathering, strengthening under the tutelage of Pluto and a Saturn/Uranus sextile. And all is just being sped up by the last direct station of Uranus in the sign of Taurus.

On January 26th Neptune enters Aries where it will remain for the next 13 years. It may feel like chaos, up one day and down the next, but actually what this is, is a rebirth. As we stand here with Neptune in the very first degree of its next 165-year journey around the zodiac, we have no idea what we are getting ourselves into. And yet, here we are being asked to commit to it with every fiber of our being.
