Shifting Energies – March 3, ’12

We begin March with shifting energies.

First, Mercury (communication) moves from sensitive Pisces into “my way” Aries, so watch your conversations and remember that others have their own point of view that may be different from yours. Compassion, openness and skillful listening will help to create a strong connection without conflict in conversations.

Venus moves into Taurus on Monday, March 5th, inviting you to tune into pleasure – really cultivating the art of enjoying. We are not that good at allowing pleasure in – we’re much better (as a culture) at working, acquiring, consuming, texting and focusing on the “to do” list.

Venus (what makes life worth living) in Taurus (sensuality, the material world, physical comfort) invites you to slow down, hold your loved one, use fluffy towels, soft sheets, get fresh flowers, have a massage and enjoy a delicious meal, a tasty snack, a walk in the park or whatever you delight in!

I think we could all use a little more relaxation, enjoyment and R&R. It’s such an important receiving and rejuvenating piece! Create space for yourself to have a special treat – whether it costs money or it’s free. Be creative!

Full Moon in Virgo – Thurs, March 8th
1:39am PT ~ 4:39am ET

We have a Full Moon in Virgo on Thursday, March 8th. A Full Moon signifies the culmination of things or a time when things “come to light.” What is happening in your world?

The Full Moon on the Pisces/Virgo axis asks you to pay attention to the details of life while remembering that we are all One, so what you do to another, you do to yourself. The energy of compassion and empathy is primary right now, so choose to live in lovingkindness.

Pisces is the direct experience of Spirit and “being” while Virgo represents practicality, service, and “doing.” The goal is to find the balance between being and doing, creating adequate time and attention for both. This will enhance your life tremendously!

Jupiter, Mars and Pluto are connected harmoniously in Earth signs for the first three weeks of March which activates expansion and transformation to empower you in profound ways!

However, because Mars is Retrograde and Mercury is going Retrograde on March 12th, it will affect operations and outcomes during this time, even through you may be hot to trot!

Be prepared to practice patience and plant seeds, which may blossom later. Don’t get discouraged – hold your vision, take methodical actions, and honor the cosmic weather by doing “Retrograde” activities – revise, review, revamp, reconstruct and so on…

You are the Light of the world. ♥
