The New Moon appeared yesterday on Sunday, March 10, and  the energy will remain for one week. It’s a time to release all that doesn’t belong in our life to move into a new cycle of creation, which begins with Full Moon/Eclipse later in March. With many planets in Pisces and aspects with Neptune (mysticism, illusion), we can move deeply behind the veil, which reveals truths about spirituality and illusion. It’s a positive forecast if we focus on growth and inner understanding.

Sun (life) and Moon (emotion) are on Pisces 20, the emotional water sign marking endings, spirituality, and artistic creativity. Sun (life) and Moon (emotions) conjunct Saturn (limitation, karma), making life feel and seem more serious than usual; the conjunctions also give discipline, strength, and practicality. Both conjunctions give opportunities for inner growth and self-reliance. Sun (life) and Moon (emotion) sextile Uranus (sudden change, quantum field) may bring happy opportunities and surprises. It can also bring new events int our lives as well as intuitive flashes and sudden understanding of the self and/or life. Sun (life) and Moon (emotion) conjunct Neptune (illusion, mysticism) increase our intuitive abilities, sensitivity, and creativity. It’s likely that we will feel the world and other people more strongly than usual. Moon conjunct Neptune makes us more impressionable and more easily led astray. The aspect intensifies emotion.

Mercury (communication) in Aries is quick, creative, and passionate, and it aids in learning quickly. Mercury can also feel impulsive or childish in this positive. Mercury is conjunct Neptune (mysticism, illusion) is helpful with moving more deeply into mystical information, communicating with the universe, and learning about the unseen world.

Venus (love, relationships) in Aquarius prefers independence and unconventional relationships. Venus and Mars (male, overall energy) are conjunct, bringing up issues that need solving in relationships and ultimately making relationships stronger. Venus is square Uranus (sudden change, quantum field), which can bring rapid changes with emotion and impulsiveness. (Think about it before you bring it up.)

Mars (male, overall energy) in Aquarius brings a push/pull to overall energy. We may feel passionate about an idea or quest, then move into a desire to rest or meditate. Overall, it’s an energizing force, which pushes us in the direction of self-realization. Mars conjuncts Uranus (sudden change, quantum field) heightens our passion and interest in our career; it can also cause strong emotions and impulsive or rebellious actions.

Jupiter (expansion, good fortune) in Taurus influences abundance and the earth.  Jupiter sextile Saturn (limitation, karma) gives optimism, good timing, and excellent judgement, particularly with long-term goals. We are moving into a Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, which becomes exact on April 10. It’s a 14-year cycle, which we are already experiencing. Jupiter/Uranus cycles mark a period of change, and they are said to relate to themes of innovation and exploration, relating to the growth and awakening of human consciousness. (They last met in 1969, 1983, and 1997.)

Neptune conjunct Pluto aids with work with the spiritual quest and aligns our energy with the universe – if we so desire. Pluto (underworld, transformation) issues in a glimpse of the new world, and it will likely affect electronics.

NOTE: The darker side of our personal life (and other people) is often revealed when we approach an eclipse. With many planets in Pisces, we may also see through particular illusions or lack of truth in our lives.
