Carol Ann Ciocco ~ 7 Planets In Pisces Conclave (March 11-12, 2013)

3Moon Ocean March 9 2013

Hi everyone, as you may have heard, we have a veritable CONCLAVE of planets in Pisces at the New Moon on Monday March 11. The Moon and Sun will be in Pisces, and so will the planets Mercury, Mars, Venus, Neptune and Chiron (an asteroid that acts like a planet). This adds up to an intensely dreamy and mystical gathering in the most spiritual of all the signs.

If you are sensitive to etheric energies (and even if you’re not!) you may be feeling a bit hazy, confused or spacey lately. The fact that Mercury is Retrograde only adds to this feeling. Even Venus and Mars are considered by Shamanic Astrology to be “off the world stage” or “in the Underworld,” as they are so close to the Sun that they are hidden from our sight.

With this level of Pisces and other opaque, hidden and retrograde energies, it is as if a thick fog has descended upon us, causing our rational, left-brained thinking to become fuzzy. We see through a glass darkly. But a gift arises from our groping through the mist: because we can’t rely on our logical brain as much, our right-brain, creative mind comes alive, making this time especially fertile for dreaming, meditating, and entering states of blissful awareness of higher realities. Here is a precious chance to learn to use our intuition in our daily lives, a habit that will stick with us when the fog lifts.

Oracle Report Third Quarter Moon Phase – Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn

 

Issues related to values, love, attraction, security, beauty, finances, and health surface today. This is a wide area of coverage, isn’t it? For those that follow astrology, Venus and Chiron make exact conjunction today while continuing yesterday’s square to Jupiter. This energy has been heavy. Chiron energy is a lot to handle and we’ve had a lot of Chiron in play.

The thing to remember is today is not the end of the story. Whatever looks like the end is not really the end. We can’t see things clearly right now, only hazy outlines. It’s nebulous. So if you feel defeated about something or feel like giving up or giving up hope, just park that for today. Put it on hold. Skip out. Walk away. Let the universe take over and work with it for a while. Ask that it be transformed. “Butterfly medicine” is at work but in order for it to work we have to give it space.

Astro Connections Blog  March 3 2013

March is a dynamic transition month, as several planets make a strong energetic shift from feminine watery Pisces to masculine fiery Aries. Mercury in Pisces remains in retrograde motion until March 17, opening us to higher visions. Later in the month, Mars in aspect to Uranus and Pluto can bring revolutionary changes. The Vernal Equinox in Aries on March 20 marks the beginning of the astrological New Year.

We begin the month still under the February Aquarius New Moon cycle, with the humanitarian theme of working together to fulfill common goals. In these last lunar phases, we are evaluating what we have learned and preparing for the next cycle. This is aided by a Sun/Mercury conjunction in Pisces on March 4, which facilitates contemplation and introspection. However, as Venus also makes a challenging square to Jupiter today, we will need to watch for overextending or overloading ourselves in various ways.

The slower moving outer planets Saturn and Pluto will again form a favorable sextile aspect on March 8. Sextile aspects bring opportunities if we are willing to take some steps toward our goals. Saturn brings us the structure and stability to go deeper with transforming (Pluto) significant life areas. This aspect also occurred last December 26 and will occur again on September 20 this year.

Oracle Report  Full Moon Phase – Moon in Libra

Quite in contrast to yesterday, beautiful and creative energy enters today with Venus’ conjunction with Neptune. This happens one day each year and it is awesome if you can attach to it! Neptune is considered the “higher octave” of Venus, meaning the conjunction takes the very best of Venus and brings it to lofty new heights. It exudes the love of life.

The Venus-Neptune conjunction aspects (by sextile) the Chiron Point (4 Taurus). The Chiron Point is the degree in the sky where Chiron was located when it was first discovered (it’s “birthplace”). I frequently reference it because it is such a telltale element. Anyone with 4 Taurus in their natal chart or anyone with an aspect to 4 Taurus is “Chirotic,” meaning their lives embody or follow along the path of the Wounded Healer.

Oracle Report Full Moon Phase – Moon in Virgo

This Full Moon sees Venus entering Pisces, joining Neptune, the Sun, Chiron, Mars, and Mercury, and adding an extra creative element to the energy. Beautiful things can be created and/or projected into the future because the power of visualization is strong. Even if you aren’t an artistic person, your imagination is boundless and can create amazing pictures in your mind.

Oracle Report  Crescent Moon Phase – Moon in Aries

Today works best if we take things simply and lightly. The gentle violets in this picture remind us of this. Mars has moved off of Chiron, settling the impulsivity and tendency toward self-sabotage that was prevalent. The Moon has moved into Aries, slowly restoring our energy. We need to go slowly also. Issues involving the level of commitment are center stage. On the eve of Valentine’s Day, this puts more pressure on relationships.

We are coming off of a deeply emotional New Moon phase and need to take care with our words, expectations, and plans. Get down to what is really important – what you really value – and forget about the fluff. The degree of Venus makes today more like Valentine’s Day than tomorrow. There’s a lot more love in the air today. Ironically, the love we need to express the most right now is to ourselves. If we can connect with that, we can then radiate it outward. I always caution about the potential to become narcissistic when we follow the energy so closely like we do here. Today it is necessary to some degree because something about ourselves has to be taken care of before we can focus on anyone else.

Henry Seltzer ~ The Profound Self-Exploration Of February Astrology

Astrograph | February 1 2013

The Astrology of February features MarsVenusMercurySaturnChiron and Neptune, together with a Pisces line-up of planets that takes place in coordination with the February 9th Aquarius New Moon. All month, from the evening of February 1st on, Mars is in the very interesting and mystical sign of Pisces, where there is definitely a softer and more subtle approach to his feisty and normally outer-directed energy. It’s as though that energy were turned inside and tuned to distant dimensions – more appropriate to poetry and music than to the active and assertive nature bordering on aggression that is normally associated with the fiery Red Planet.

Mercury joins Mars in Pisces around the time of the New Moon, and closely conjoins Chiron as it does so, making a tight triple conjunction, which is additionally within orb of conjunction with Neptune in the early degrees of the sign. Saturn is stationing in the mid-month time frame, in trine with these three planets, and in bi-quintile to revolutionary Uranus, to which the stodgy and conservative energy is antithetical. Revolution is in the air, as it has been for these last few years, and there is also a considerable conservative backlash that is becoming even more intense as this second climactic year in a row – 2013 – gets underway.

Oracle Report  | Disseminating Moon Phase – Moon in Libra

Ruling Mahavidya: Matangi

Venus and Mars move into different signs today; Venus enters Aquarius and Mars enters Pisces. So a change-up in the energy is in store today, especially regarding relationships.

During Disseminating Moon phases, we need to be aware of what we are hearing – what is being said. Pay attention to what people are telling you. Everyone wants to be heard today, so be mindful and include everyone who needs to be involved in any kind of discussion. If important decisions need to be made, ask for help or input from others. It’s a “group effort” type of day, so other perspectives should be valued.

While we are listening to others, we also need to be sensitive to what spirit is telling us. Where are you being guided? Your personal dialog with Sophia (or with her emissary Matangi) can be whatever you want it to be. It’s an all-inclusive package. Remember that we are engaged in the co-creation of our lives in service to the vision of our Mother. The natural world is her favorite method of communication, so tune in. We’re receiving and transmitting important information today.

Oracle Report | Crescent Moon Phase – Moon in Aries

Ruling Mahavidya: Matangi

Hawk-like powers of vision are available today. This is a wonderful gift. The hawk’s vast range of vision is akin to seeing into the future. It’s a broad scope. It enables us to make adaptations and adjustments along the way. Flying along, we can see what would work best or what would be easier and, in many ways, what would be more energetically-efficient.

Venus and Pluto remain close together, though moving off from conjunction and thus bringing the intensity level down somewhat. Venus-Pluto energy causes us to burn hot and fast. It stresses the systems of the body in many ways, but in many ways it brings things back to life. It is a catalyst for events for sure! So we need to be especially kind to our bodies in order to balance things out.

Oracle Report | Crescent Moon Phase – Moon in Pisces

Ruling Mahavidya: Matangi

The energy continues to be extremely complex. Our emotional, mental, and physical bodies are heightened to a sharp degree. This is causing us to examine where we want to draw the line, take a stand, or decide how much of our energy (time, resources, love) we can devote.

We are examining where we have had enough. We are asking ourselves what we want to protect and what we want to preserve.

The exact conjunction of Venus and Pluto happens approximately one time each year for about a week all told. The conjunction affects relationships, obsessions, money, structures, systems, among other things. The exact conjunction occurs tomorrow night around 9:30 pm EDT/2:30 am UTC. So the energy will build until that time and then begin to taper off progressively.

Oracle Report | Crescent Moon Phase – Moon in Pisces

Ruling Mahavidya: Matangi

Today prompts us to “avoid” or “escape” responsibilities or something we do not want to face, but we will be better off if we do it. It’s a day for taking care of details and catching up on things we’ve put off. If things have been piling up on you, you’ll experience relief just by tackling the pile. With Venus and Pluto squaring Uranus, unexpected things are developing within relationships. Uranus will bring changes, and they are often quite fast and surprising. Mercury is rapidly approaching the Sun for conjunction and causing our minds to be very active.

Focus on what you appreciate. Tell people how you appreciate them. We’re still watching the behemoth sunspot and the possibility for X-class flares, which will certainly add emphasis to the energy.
