Equinox-ing, Tipping Toward the Sun, and Watching Each Others' Backs For Dirty Piscean Tricks

Happy Equinox!

We are now coming out of the 29-degree Pisces New Moon total solar eclipse March 20 that kicked off spring with a bang in the northern hemisphere. The "backdrop change" themes of that eclipse are now carried through Aries season (March 20 - April 20).

We're opening into an all-encompassing new expression of Pisces over the next 28 days - an expression that will carry us successfully into the astrological Aquarian era. We've been putting these "new-era Pisces" themes into practise for quite some time now, but this is final exam time.

Communication planet Mercury is closing in on a conjunction to wounded healer Chiron in Pisces on March 24, and the wounded and wounding themes of the astrological Piscean era are very much on our minds. Under the influence of this aspect, our troubles may seem more overwhelming than usual. Our damage may seem more unmanageable than usual. But take heart. We pretty much all feel this way at the moment.

If Pisces teaches us anything, it's that individual struggles are actually shared struggles. Individual problems almost always connect to a common root, shared by many through time and space, and we certainly share many very large issues amongst us on Planet Earth at the moment.

(The ongoing nuclear meltdowns at Fukushima, Japan and the oil/Corexit contamination of the Gulf of Mexico are two of the larger open Chiron in Pisces wounds, pertaining to the oceans (Pisces)).

The Mercury-Chiron aspect is past exact as most of us wake up on Tuesday (7:15 a.m. CST), though the themes will be colouring our experiences for the rest of the week.

The Sun in Aries Brings the First Day of Spring in the Canadian Prairies

It sure looks like spring, doesn't it?

 

Standing in front of his handiwork for the winter of 2013.

 

This is how you shovel snow in Saskatchewan.

 

 

Happy Astrological New Year, all! The Sun entered Aries, marking March equinox, early this morning. I hope you're enjoying warmer and less snowy environments wherever you are.

 

Happy Astrological New Year and Willow on Ask the Astrologer with Matt Savinar

Today is spring equinox, the Sun has entered Aries, and we're surging forward into a new astrological year.

There's a blazingly potent Aries New Moon coming up this Thursday, March 22 conjunct Mercury Rx and Uranus and trine the Sagittarius North Node, and things are getting mighty hot.

I'll be a guest on Matt Savinar's radio show, Ask the Astrologer, on Thursday between 10 a.m. and noon Pacific to talk about this Moon, the line-up of bodies in Aries led by Ceres, the corresponding attacks on women's reproductive rights, and the horrific forced sonogram laws in the United States being brought to public awareness this month through the Doonesbury comic strip.

Throughout 2011, forced sonogram laws were tabled in 14 U.S. states and were made law in four - Texas, Arizona, Florida, and North Carolina.

These sonogram laws, brought about by pro-life Republicans, force all women seeking an abortion to submit to a transvaginal sonogram of their fetuses - involving a probe that goes into their vaginas - as the characteristics of the fetus are described to them by their doctor. The woman is then asked if she would like to see the sonogram and hear an audio recording of the fetus' heart. She can refuse this, but she cannot refuse the procedure. And in North Carolina, any woman who refuses to look at the sonogram or listen to the heartbeat has her name marked and kept in a record for seven years. The doctor is also required to discuss alternatives to abortion. Under these sonogram laws, women are also forced to wait 24 hours after the sonogram before they are able to receive an abortion, unless they live more than 100 miles from the abortion facility.

These attacks against women's reproductive rights are real, and they're going on right now.

The Sun Conjunct Uranus at the Zodiac Birth Point Marking Astrological New Year and the "Odyssey Dawns"

Right on schedule.

The Sun is passing through the final degree of Pisces and enters Aries this evening at 6:21 p.m. Central marking Spring Equinox in the northern hemisphere and the astrological New Year.

This is not your average Spring Equinox or Astro New Year, either. The Sun is conjunct Uranus at zero Aries - the birth point for the entire zodiac. Uranus takes 84 years to make its way through the zodiac and spends an average of seven years in each of the signs. A Sun-Uranus conjunction exactly at zero degrees Aries has rare initiating potency, and we're experiencing it.

As I mentioned in a previous article, Uranus entering Aries means the astrological era-shifting mutual reception between Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius has drawn to a close. The most intensely interwoven crossover period between Piscean and Aquarian eras is over, and we now tip the scales into a stronger Aquarian overlay.

The Odyssey Dawns, indeed.

The people of Libya are now being "kept safe" from yet another villainous bad guy as Cancer Sun nation U.S. of A. rains missiles down upon them in a military operation named Operation Odyssey Dawn. Yesterday, 120 Tomahawk missiles were fired at Libya by United States, British and French military. Italy and Spain are allowing the use of their air force bases for the launching of the attacks. This marks the largest military attack against an Arab country since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, which gained public support through bogus claims that Sadaam Hussein held weapons of mass destruction after the bombing of the World Trade Centers in New York City September 11, 2001.

The invasion of Iraq happened exactly eight years ago (March 20, 2003) just after Uranus ingressed Pisces (March 10, 2003). Still don't think astrology is being used in these war agendas?

The invasion of Iraq during Baby Bush's regime has left more than two million Iraquis dead along with thousands of U.S. soldiers. Five million Iraqui refugees are currently subsisting in absolutely dire circumstances. Five million children - thirty five percent of the country's children - have been orphaned, and parts of the country have been left irradiated through depleted uranium munitions. One of the worst humanitarian crises currently existing on this planet is the legacy of the 2003 equinox invasion. Operation Iraqi Freedom (ha) was renamed Operation New Dawn by the United States on September 1, 2010, reflecting the shift into burgeoning Aquarian Age language. We see this continue with the naming of the military operation against Libya - Odyssey Dawn.

Exactly eight years later, Uranus is freshly into position in the sign ruled by war planet Mars (March 11 ingress - coinciding with the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Japan) and moves into a series of seven squares (tense, clashing aspect) to Pluto in Capricorn over the next four years, in energetic effect for eight. What happens now, at this birth point, sets the tone for the next eight years with 2012-2015 involving the strongest activity, and you'd better believe the strategists behind the advance of a new era of global fascism are aware of this. The immediate plans working toward the longer-term goals were set last cardinal t-square infused summer, and they unfold now like clockwork.

Jupiter in Aries squaring Pluto in Capricorn in January coincided with massive protests from people in the Middle East (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Sudan) who are unemployed, hungry and increasingly pushed up against a wall by government policies. It was a massive call for change.

And according to plan, the Global Governors have ridden the energy of the people's revolt up to the crest and taken their places atop the corrupt hierarchies with a newly shuffled cast of characters.

Now in Libya, another "rogue nation" (coincidentally with the largest known oil reserves in Africa) is brought under control and into lock-step with the global agenda through U.S.-led military might. Canada is right there alongside as trusty sidekick, offering up its military - it no longer operates even under the guise of a sovereign nation.

The influence of the last degrees of Pisces indicate this is still motivated by the Piscean/oil era themes - capturing control of both physical and spiritual energy reserves. But there's more going on here than meets the eye. Our insight increases after the Sun crosses Uranus tomorrow morning (7:24 a.m. Central). The Moon enters Scorpio at 2:17 p.m. tomorrow, so dig deeply into your emotional intuition as the agenda and propaganda unfold...

The Precession of the Equinoxes, Shifting Astrological Eras and '2012'

Happy Last Day of Winter! Sun on 29 Degrees Pisces!

Here's a nice summery water shot from my parent's ranch we can meditate on today as the Sun passes through the final degree of the zodiac - 29 Pisces.

The Sun enters Aries at around 5 a.m. MST tomorrow morning, marking the spring equinox/first day of spring. Daylight hours get longer from here on in (in the Northern Hemisphere).

So enjoy/persevere through this last day of Piscean contemplation and dissolution as we wrap up this zodiac year! (Today is the Western tropical zodiac's New Year's Eve!)

Venus will be back on 29 Pisces April 11 - 23 as we experience that whole "Last Day of Winter" theme in our relationships. Many relationship cycles coming to completion, as well as things to do with self-worth, values, pleasure and love, love, love.

Mars will also move through this degree of Pisces April 20 - 22, so Venus and Mars will basically be conjunct on this degree, passing into Aries within a day of each other, making for a very potent completion/fresh start vibe. I'm really excited for that time.

At the same time, I don't want to believe that I have to be patient until the end of April, but I think it's the case. I'm still not sure what is going to happen with Art of My Heart. Just waiting for a new location to open up and trying to take care of whatever I can take care of day-by-day. Trying not to let the fogginess and lack of clarity aggravate me too much.

The new directions are tied to successful completion of old cycles, as always, but because we are clearing an entire "Age" now, it's even more important that we leave nothing unresolved. Things will wrap up, as always, according to cosmic timing, and we have to work to accept that and go with it.

But still we can celebrate as each layer wraps up! There really is a lot to celebrate. And for now...Sun in Aries is some pretty great news!

Happy Astro New Year!!
