Watery Pisces asks us to turn inward and dive deep.
March 2021
Peaceful Pisces makes way for the rambunctious Ram of Spring
We find ourselves in the midst of Pisces, the most watery of the signs until March 20. In Pisces we find a time of quiet. So slow down, rest, be still and listen. Pisces asks you to go within, merge to your surroundings, and navigate by feel. Be gentle with yourself. Soon Spring will burst forth with its energy and renewal, but for now regenerate. Bolster yourself and those you love with the power of nurture, the power of love, get close to your feelings. Feel, acknowledge and release. Use this watery time to “ebb” to ready yourself for the flow of Spring yet to come.
Water has its own rules, conditions and restrictions. This provides insight for the next few weeks. Did you ever try to talk underwater? Nearly impossible. Water is relatively silent. Sounds morph into deep visceral and haunting sounds , like a whale’s song. Mental interpretation is difficult but the sounds create a mood and emit a feeling. Underwater movement is slow. Density creates restriction and slows matter down. Be like a dolphin, use the slowness and density to propel you forward, send out communications, say how you feel and what you experience and see what bounces back.
As March begins we are coming off the heels of a harsh aspect between Saturn, planet of structure and responsibility and Uranus, planet of awakening through chaos. Both Saturn and Uranus rule Aquarius so the two rulers have squared off! Saturn is in Aquarius (groups and friends) and Uranus sits in Taurus (resources). This aspect is the first of 3 squares between these planets happening this year. The major astrological theme for 2021. We witnessed a powerful storm that caused a significant power outage in Texas. Complete chaos and a breakdown of civilization occurred in one of the most powerful and energy conscious states in the US. The electrical infrastructure was not prepared or maintained properly and once it faltered basic life necessities collapsed: water, travel, food. So around February 14th, when storm Uri struck the U.S., the initial message of these planets was experienced. Pay attention to what was happening in your personal life around February 10-20, 2021 to find your own personal message.
Collectively, the message seems to be to repair your infrastructure and difficult relationships. Have more regard for the earth, friends, and give credence to your own feelings and needs. Face the truth and take necessary steps. We have until June and December to get it right. Keep in mind the next 2 Saturn Square Uranus aspects will be combined with eclipse season in June and December, so while the wake-up call happened with all this Aquarian energy now, the energy will be just as ramped up in May/June and November/December with the full power of eclipses joining the aspects. The extra energy in May/June will either help us to ride the wave to swift changes or will be crashing down upon us. The highlight of May/June is Gemini bringing ideas, information social interaction with a flavor of what we need. While the November/ December eclipse and aspects will reinforce deep transformational subconscious change and impact our beliefs.
I suppose the good news about storm Uri, if there is any, is an event of this magnitude in just the right place (oil rich Texas) has the ability to change opinion and the minds of the masses. More personally our responsibilities (Saturn) will be forcing us to turn a corner with our need to be free (Uranus), the same old thing will make us restless, returning to the old traditional way will meet the new paradigm of our changed future. We can make the old tried and true structures work better for us. Use this time to analyze, regroup and address your own needs and relationships. Nurture yourself and those you love, notice your dreams, and send your prayers into the universe.
The first two weeks of March lead up to a new moon on March 13th that is in close proximity to Neptune (ocean, depth of subconscious, information beyond 3D experience). This sets the tone for the new Spring cycle beginning, which is the astrological New Year. Neptune in Pisces reflects compassion, imagination, dreams, art, meditation OR it can be deceit, delusion, confusion, or mental instability. On March 4th Mercury (information, merchants and schools) is meeting with optimistic Jupiter. March 4 - 15 will illuminate information that can help us realize if we were deceived or inspired (Neptune)? By March 20th more information will be revealed to assist in accessing this Pisces/Virgo axis. Pisces/Virgo theme is about health, physical health (Virgo), mental health (Pisces), Spiritual health and also the health of the earth (organic systems, decisions =Virgo). Pisces is a time to let our Spiritual health guides us to better mental and physical health.
I find it very telling that at this moment a Native American is up for confirmation for Secretary of the Interior. In my 2021 overview I used Sabian symbols to reflect on the Solar Eclipse in December 2021 in wise Sagittarius : A Spaniard serenading a Señorita in contrast to Indians making camp
—An image that harkens to the Spanish Armada changing everything for the Native Americans long ago, only here, sweet love songs between man and woman is the Spanish image. It leaves me hopeful that we will begin to respect the wisdom of the Native American. It is hard to imagine that a Native American will be confirmed amid the pressures from the oil and gas industries but who better to take this moment of crisis and begin the healing for earth and its beings. However this confirmation turns out be sure the message of respect for nature is to be heard at last.
On February 19 (close to Saturn square Uranus mentioned above) the United Nations issued a report on climate change entitled aptly, “Making Peace with Nature”. As we are in for 2 more passes of this aspect you can expect the rest of the year will continue to add information and pressure to compel/propel action and forge a new direction.
“The report, 'Making Peace with Nature', spans 168 pages and distills the latest science on climate change and mankind's "war" on the planet. It also argues that amid our pursuit of wealth and security, humans must now learn to value the fundamental "natural capital" of geology, soil, air and water -- and urgently.”'
So how will you use this energy? Remember Pisces is a time to inwardly reconcile. What do your dreams and subconscious tell you about your state of mind at this time? This is a time to examine, move slowly, observe your environment; this is a “show and tell” moment for your subconscious. Don’t judge just observe. This is the cosmic egg that will soon hatch in Spring. Use this powerful time to meditate, pray, bless, clear, release— to summon all parts of yourself and harmonize a vibration. No matter what shows itself to you the best response to anything that is coming up for you is compassion, looking beyond the earthly realm and drawing from the cosmic divine. Art, writing, dancing can be a great way to release anything that is difficult (and is always fun). Use the Piscean energy to harmonize with the earth, harness and anchor protection, blessings, and strength. The Prayer of the 7 Directions* is very useful for this as is the Mantra prayer of Protection*, or performing a ritual fire ceremony*.
As Springtime approaches the snow begins to melt bringing minerals and a new rush of life-giving waters. A beautiful time to bless the waters, pay a visit to the shores around you and whisper a prayer. If you haven’t been introduced to Dr. Emoto’s work about water you should look up “Messages from Water”, where his experiments show beautiful images of frozen water. He demonstrates a visual revelation how our thoughts influence water, how this has profound implications, not only for our own health but for the well-being of our planet. You can do your own experiment with this by using rice and water and see what happens. (I intend to do this, so stay tuned for the results… I’d love to hear from you if you decide to try it too.)
Dr. Emoto promotes the beautiful Hawaiian Prayer for forgiveness called “Ho’oponopono”.
“Chanting this prayer over and over is a powerful way to cleanse the body of guilt, shame, haunting memories, ill will, or bad feelings that keep the mind fixated on negative thoughts. As a forgiveness practice, it is also deeply resonant, as it tends to penetrate our inner monologue over time. It can be used to connect and harmonize with Nature as we harmonize our own inner world. It is very simply and profound. And I find its words are deeply healing, especially when I don’t know what to say in a difficult situation.”
The ho’oponopono prayer goes like this: “I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you.”
The second half of the month is ripe for seizing opportunities for transformation and empowerment. And just as the Spring equinox happens (March 20) everything begins to pop. Mercury (messages and information) may provide some provocative revelation (Uranus) at this time that will sway opinion and create a new directive. We are leading up to the full moon /full discloser on March 28th that will be asking us to transform our idea of justice by defining who is the hero…or perhaps redefining who is the villain. We end the month with Mercury conjunct Neptune on March 29 where, if we are in high vibration and living in a hearts, our thinking will be imaginative and connected to the great divine source. March 28th and 29th will be important for dreams and dreamtime. Let this month be a litmus test for our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health.
May the blessings of dreams, and imagination, other-worldly guides, angels and compassionate ones guide you to a vibrant Springtime awakening.
NEED INSPIRATION?
If daydreaming, meditation, and stillness aren’t your thing perhaps this small video will inspire you with the beauty of moving slowly with grace and purpose. I came across this free-diver who is a dancer and was so taken with this 15 minute performance underwater that I watched a lot of her and other water craft. Completely mesmerizing…Enjoy.
