Notes for using the Celestial Timings
Watch the waxing gibbous Moon pass Castor and Pollux, then Mars, then Regulus. (This view is drawn for the middle of North America. European observers: move each Moon symbol a quarter of the way toward the one for the previous date. In the Far East, move it halfway. For clarity, the Moon is shown three times actual size.)

March 2010 Celestial Timings
All forgiveness is self-forgiveness.
Your experience of the world is the result
of your combined state of thought and feeling - your arena of consciousness.
Since your experience of the world is a result of your state of consciousness,
then if you hate anyone, you are disliking a part of yourself. -Raymond Charles Barker (1911 to 1988) former President of the International New Thought Alliance (INTA) And he opened the First Church of Religious Science in New York City in 1946
Self-forgiveness is the only forgiveness there is really is. ~Simeon Chiron Nartoomid (see article here and an excerpt at the end.)
Out of chaos comes order. ~ Friedrich Nietzsche and The Greeks
********************************************************************************************************
Breathing deeply and taking a moment to center I find myself profoundly aware of the increasing magnitude of the transformative energies affecting us all. The February Timings spoke of 
superconductors, entrainment and the phenomenon of increasing chaos as an element is moving into a superconductor state. I also mentioned that this same phenomenon describes the process of rapidly awakening consciousness. In my Transcendental Meditation days (back in the 1970’s) the term used to describe the changing times was ‘the dawning of the age of enlightenment’ and a ‘phase transition’ was used to describe the increasingly chaotic process leading up to this ‘age of enlightenment.’
The Greeks expressed this as “out of chaos comes the world” or ‘out of chaos comes order,’ something philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche expressed as well along with many other ideas and concepts that seemed crazy and chaotic. It is interesting to consider the laws of 
thermodynamics in relationship to how shifts in consciousness may also take place. In the creation of a superconductor the electrons are being brought into superconductor state by lowering the temperature to absolute zero. As the temperature is lowered the electrons seemingly act in increasingly chaotic ways. Then at some point in the process a few of the electrons start falling into phase, or entrainment, or harmony and resonance with each other. Image to the right is Magnetic levitation of a magnet over a super conductor.
All that is needed is one percent (or a critical mass) of the electrons coming into resonance to
create a ‘phase transition.’ Once one percent or critical mass is reached then suddenly all the electrons fall into a super harmonious state forming a superconductor. The resonance of a superconductor is so powerful that if a chaotic field of energy or an electro-magnetic field is aimed at the superconductor, it simply goes around the superconductor and cannot disrupt it. This is known as the Meissner Effect as show in image to the left. See Neptune Chiron Article
In the 1970’s when I was attending Maharishi International University (MIU) now known as Maharishi University of Management (MUM) these principles were used to described the shift of consciousness we were there helping to co-create. Many ancient prophecies and traditions agree, the Earth herself is going through a rebirth and we are also being affected by that process. So, what we are experiencing now often feels exceptionally chaotic. All kinds of crazy physical emotional and mental symptoms are showing up as our bodies (literally the very electrons and other quantum particles that we are made of) are reorienting to a whole new way of being.
We too are going through a ‘phase transition’. It is helpful to remember that whatever these symptoms are, they are also a natural part of the intensifying evolutionary process. This doesn’t mean to skip getting checked out by health care professionals if you feel guided to do that, though they may not be able to come up with answers from the old paradigm that will help alleviate the symptoms. What it does mean is everyone is being affected by the planetary changes and at the same time we are all being required to follow our own guidance on how to navigate the chaos.
There are some very powerful yet simple tools any one can access at this time to help smooth this transition. Appreciation and Gratitude for our lives and for the gifts that we experience everyday is 
especially helpful. Another highly important process is forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness. All kinds of Forgiveness practices are major keys to successfully co-creating personal and planetary ascension.
Left is Chinese Forgiveness Symbol
Like so many of you I have engaged the process of forgiveness for many years and yet I know that the most important and most challenging forgiveness process for me is to fully and completely forgive myself. It seems self-forgiveness is something that happens in layers or levels and I am always surprised to find myself revisiting issues and incidences that I thought I had completely forgiven. However, when I am honest with my human self I know I am creating opportunities to see where I can go even deeper with self-forgiveness. There are many powerful forgiveness techniques available that create miracles in people’s lives. It is up to each of us to find the technique or techniques that work best for us. Here are three examples with links on three different forgiveness processes. Plus, I have included much much more on the benefits and the process of forgiveness and some ways to work with it throughout the March Timings.
Radical Forgiveness developed by Colin Tipping. Here is a link to the Radical Forgiveness worksheet on the Radical Forgiveness website.
Stauffer Method of Forgiveness Link
Hoʻoponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) is a simple, easy ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness. The distilled essence of this process is in four phrases said silently to yourself as much as possible, all the time, or whenever you remember to say it. “I love you. I am sorry. Please Forgive me. Thank you!” http://www.ancienthuna.com/ho-oponopono.htm

Here are some of the empowerment gifts Forgiveness and Self-forgiveness Provides:
Forgiveness empowers greater acceptance of self and others.
Forgiveness empowers greater love.
Forgiveness empowers personal responsibility.

March Sky Observing Highlights and March Constellations
March is when the Sun crosses over the Aries Equinox point marking the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.
The constellation of the Crab (a.k.a Cancer) is prominent this month. Mars stations direct just to the right of Castor and Pollux and then can be seen crossing the Beehive Cluster for the final time since Mars entered Leo last October. This is visible in the evening sky looking South to South East.
The Sacred Hoop of Stars (as they were known to the Lakota Sioux and other Plains Indians) are high in the sky after Sunset.
Orion and the Hyades are located inside the Hoop and are easily spotted this time of year. Interestingly, the Mayans perceived the sword of Orion as a sacred fire of creation inside a fire pit. Modern astronomers have discovered this is a place where new stars are being birthed!
Heaven’s Gate is a configuration of Stars that form a great equilateral triangle with two stars that form the outer edge of the Sacred Hoop already mentioned and they are Sirius and Procyon. The third star is Betelgeuse marking the shoulder of Orion. These stars were known as ‘Heavens Gate’ to Alaskan Shaman’s and represent another version of an entry point or entrance into incarnation. (Sacred Hoop Article)
Another stellar triangle is also becoming more visible this month rising later in the evening marking the tail of the Lion and featuring the bright star Denebola, 43 light years away.
Reminder: All the events listed in the Celestial Timings have a minimum three day impact including the day before and the day after. In many cases, the planetary effects extend into weeks, months and even years. Noting the sign and degree of the aspects and planets helps you to know if these events are directly affecting your own natal chart. The Celestial Timings then are a great guide to knowing how these energies affect us collectively but also when to pay extra close attention to the personal initiations we all go through.
All our life activities are structured by the day, month, year cycles but we forget that these cycles are founded on astronomical data used by astrologers since very ancient times. ~ Cycles of Becoming by Alexander Ruperti (available through Earthwalk School of Astrology )
Personal Planets including Mars
- Mercury begins the month as a morning star disappearing from the morning sky on March 4, traveling with the Sun until March 24 when Mercury appears in the evening sky. Mercury is conjunct the Sun on March 15 in its psychopomp phase. Mercury also moves within 5 degrees of Venus later this month visible about 30 minutes after Sunset for observers around 40 degrees north latitude. By March 31 Mercury is a -1 magnitude visible 3.5 degrees below Venus -4 magnitude.
- Venus is visible in the evening sky setting about an hour after the Sun as the month begins and setting over an hour and a half after the Sun by the end of the month. Moon conjuncts Venus March 16 at the first gate in the evening sky. This is important for anyone born in an 8 year (8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72. 80, 88, 94, 102 etc) between April 3, 2009 and Nov 4, 2010 as this marks your personal 8 year Venus return. (See March 16 for more information)
- Marsis fading some in magnitude since its opposition to the Sun end of January. Mars stations direct on March 11 and reaches apehelion or its furthest distance from the Sun on March 30.
Outer Planets
- Jupiter entered Pisces January 17, 2010 and was conjunct the Sun on February 27 at 9 Pisces 36 meaning Jupiter is not visible in either the morning or evening sky. Jupiter reappears in the morning sky around the 14th of March. Also, Jupiter is speeding through Pisces and entering Aries crossing the March Equinox marker on June 7, and again on September 10 just before retrograde Jupiter returns to Pisces, and then once again crossing zero Aries on January 22 next year.
- Saturn stationed retrograde January 13 at 4 Libra 39 and reaches opposition to the Sun on March 21 at 1 Libra 20. Then Saturn crosses the September Equinox point of zero Libra on April 6/7 just before returning to Virgo stationing direct on May 30 at 11:11 am Pacific Daylight Time at 27 Virgo 50. Saturn crosses the zero Libra point for the last time in this series on July 21.
- Uranus enters Aries on May 28 and hangs out at this cardinal point for all of June and July moving back into Pisces on August 14. Uranus stations retrograde on July 5, 2010 at 0 Aries 25 and stations direct on December 5, 2010 at 26 Pisces 40. Uranus crosses the March Equinox point of zero Aries three times and comes back to station near zero Aries on December 9, 2011. The first time Uranus crosses zero Aries is May 27, 2010, the second is August 13, 2010 and the third is March 12, 2011. However from May 27 of this year Uranus hangs out at Zero Degrees Aries until Aug 13 when retrograde Uranus slips back into Pisces. On March 12, 2011 Uranus again crosses the zero Aries point but is moving fast and gets to one degree by March 29. Then Uranus stations retrograde at 4 Aries 33 on July 8, 2011 and retrogrades back to Zero Aries 38 on November 10, 2011, hanging out at this degree until January 13, 2012. This represents a long passage of Uranus over the Aries Equinox Cardinal point. The last time Uranus crossed this area of the sky was 1927.
- Neptune was conjunct the Sun on Feb 14 at (26 Aquarius 09) and stations retrograde on May 31, 2010 at 28 Aquarius 42 and stations direct on November 6/7, 2010 at 25 Aquarius 55.
- Pluto was conjunct the Sun (3 Capricorn) on December 24, 2009. Pluto squares the Sun March 26 at 5 Capricorn 23 and stations retrograde on April 6, 2010 at 5 Capricorn 25. Pluto stations direct on September 13/14, 2010 at 2 Capricorn 47.
Chiron was conjunct the Sun on Feb 14 at (26 Aquarius 05) and stations retrograde June 4/5, 2010 at Zero Pisces 59 and stations direct on November 6, 2010 at 26 Aquarius 04.
Daily Timings
Mar 1, Monday. In ancient Roman times March 1 was when women celebrated the festival Matronalia in honor of the Goddess Juno. This celebration was geared towards prayers and offerings for a happy marriage and traditionally husbands gave presents to their wives. Juno (03 Taurus), carries the mysteries of conscious equal partnership and is transiting through Taurus until April 16. This is the archetypal energy where the mysteries of intimacy as a path to enlightenment are engaged.
The asteroid Juno’s mysteries include conscious equal partnership, though for the past several thousand years this has manifested mainly as a marriage program designed to 
dominate and control the fertile power of the feminine. In the times before patriarchal rule reduced women to wives or whores, it was the women who owned property, freely chose their partners, and managed the resources of the family or tribe. (Thankfully these rights have been restored to women in many areas of the world setting the precedent for change elsewhere too.) It was Juno Moneta (root word for money) who represented the fertile power of the goddess literally symbolized by the first minting of money in Juno’s main temple located in the center of Rome. (See March 4 and 9)
The theme of conscious equal relationships are further emphasized by the Moon slipping into Libra and passing 7 degrees SSW of retrograde Saturn most likely visible tomorrow morning depending on your time zone. The Moon is crossing Zero Libra a.k.a. the Autumnal Equinox marker in the sky and Saturn is moving back across this point exact on April 6, 2010. Zero Libra is currently aligned with the North Galactic Pole lying 90 degrees north of the Galactic Plane looking out into space, near the constellation of Coma Berenices. (See Article) Tuning into this area of the sky enhances our intergalactic connections, and our understanding of time and space. The North Galactic Pole carries a multi-dimensional energy providing a doorway to other realms and galaxies, further facilitating our understanding of how to consciously exist in many realms simultaneously. Accessing the mysteries from this multi-dimensional perspective enhances our ability to consciously dream the dream onward.
Mercury enters Pisces traveling through this area of the sky until March 16 suggesting this is a time to listen more deeply to our inner knowing, especially when events do not make logical sense. Mercury in Pisces is not about figuring things out in a left brain linear way through logic and reason. Rather this is an expression of the mind that is more right brained, creative, and trusting what is known without knowing how or why. Trusting what you know without having to know how you know further awakens the right brain intuitive function. It is this deep inner knowing that is one of the most helpful tools available to us during these chaotic times.
Mar 2, Tuesday. Chiron (27 Aquarius 12) and Neptune (26 Aquarius 45) are still within 27 minutes of their exact conjunction meaning they are less than half a degree apart. The physical world receives its inspiration and expression from the divine blueprint or codes of light that are evolving in the Celestial. Then these light codes (or seeds of the divine - containing the codes of all that has been and all that is yet to be) eventually manifest in their evolving forms through the physical as both are intimately related. The rate of manifestation for these divine seeds depends upon how willing, ready and able we are to receive the upgraded templates.
If we are still operating from our wounds, anger, and unresolved issues then we are not ready or able to fully receive the new light codes. Remember, Chiron is here to help turn these wounds into our medicine and Neptune helps to connect us with our visions and dreams of a sustainable world based in love and cooperation. These light codes act as a catalyst releasing the density of the past and inspiring the visions of the future. The process of forgiveness helps accelerate our ability to receive these light codes. See March 4, 8, 10, 11, 12, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 31. Also see article for more about Chiron Neptune
Mar 3, (3/3) Wednesday. Venus conjuncts Uranus at 26 Pisces just prior to her first conjunction with the Moon on March 16/17 when the Queen of Heaven retrieves her first vestment having successfully completed her underworld journey. This encounter with Uranus suggests there are unpredictable, revolutionary energies assisting Venus in this time of integrating her initiation experience. In Pisces, this is the expression of the magical feminine as the compassionate world healer.
This brings to awareness some of the unique and innovative consciousness techniques that are now available to assist humanity in co-creating greater access to our inner knowing through increasing awareness. Paying attention to what you know without having to know how you know it is the key. In other words…trust yourself, trust what you know and respond from your inner knowing and the guidance it is providing you.
Plus the Moon is moving into Scorpio later today activating the mysteries of death, rebirth and transformation through willingness to face our fears and transform the shadow aspects that otherwise unconsciously dictate our choices.
Mar 4, Thursday. My Birthday! Yay! …the only date that gives a command…March Forth! 
Today we have Mercury (6 Pisces) Jupiter (10 Pisces) Sun (14 Pisces) Uranus (25 Pisces) and Venus (26 Pisces) in Pisces. Plus, Chiron is entering Pisces April 20 for the first time in nearly 50 years. Pisces includes the mysteries of sacred service through heartfelt compassion and the ability to create a safe space that helps others to heal. A healthy expression of Pisces is demonstrated in the ability to completely forgive the unforgiveable. This helps to heal the deep wounds of the past so they are no longer prevent the fulfillment of our divine design.
Forgiving the unforgiveable emerges in part from the conscious realization that ultimately there are no victims. There are only co-creators and sometimes as co-creators we are unconscious of what we are co-creating. Thus, genuine forgiveness must start with us because there is nothing we have ever experienced that we did not somehow co-create either consciously or unconsciously. This does not mean those who have caused harm to others are not still responsible for what they have helped to create. It is simply a recognition that when we understand the principles of forgiveness we are no longer victims and we are awakening to the reality of greater conscious co-creation. See March 2, 8, 10, 11, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31. (Pisces Poster pictured above)
It may be useful to use the Ho’oponopono mantra I love you. I am sorry. Please Forgive me. Thank you.
This concentration of Pisces planets lasts until Mar 7 when Venus moves into Aries then March 18 Mercury moves into Aries and the Sun moves into Aries on March 20. On May 27 Uranus enters Aries and on June 5 Jupiter enters Aries though both return to Pisces later in the year. (See Mar 13)
Also worth noting today is the trine between the asteroid Juno (5 Taurus) and Pluto (5 Capricorn) spotlighting our culture’s current relationship to money, finances, and global economics that have been primarily manufactured out of fear and the belief that we are competing for limited resources. This has contributed to a wide spread feeling of lack, bringing up questions about our worthiness and where we fit into the artificial hierarchy these collective beliefs have created. Juno in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn is an opportunity to face and embrace the fears of the old economic paradigm allowing that paradigm to die a timely death, so that a new economic paradigm based on the principles of plenty for all, equitable giving and receiving, and cooperatively sharing Earth’s resources in ways that nourish and sustain all life, can be birthed in its place. (See March 1 and 9)
Mar 05, Friday. The Moon moves into Sagittarius late tonight or early tomorrow morning illuminating the quest for truth and enlightenment intended to expand self-understanding, knowledge, and the meaning of life. Although the Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius it is also 
entering the constellation of the Scorpion passing by the fixed stars marking the eye of the Scorpion. The fixed star Dschubba or Isidis is often referred to as the eye of the dragon, and is associated with the Goddess Isis. In her book Starwalking, Page Bryant says this star’s energy is helping to “propel us into the next millennium.” www.pagebryant.com (See Difference between Signs and Constellations) Noting where the Moon is in the pre-dawn morning sky helps to visually locate these stars for tuning in and receiving greater understanding of the mysteries unfolding here.
Mar 06, Saturday. Happy 25th birthday to my beloved Twins. The nearly first Quarter Moon is passing 1.4 degrees NNW of Antares symbolizing the portal to the Golden Gate. (See Feb 2010 archives) Antares was one of the four royal stars of ancient times and was also seen as the archangel Uriel, guardian of the mysteries of peace and inspiration. In Hebrew Uriel means “Flame of God” or “Fire of God” and personifies the divine flame that originates from universal mind. This is the fire of creation as spirit descends into density and form. Exercising conscious choice, this is a great time to utilize the creative fire within for the purpose of manifesting peace and harmony in the world. According to Bernadette Brady’s book on The Fixed Stars, all four of the royal stars (including Regulus, Aldebaran, and Fomalhaut) are linked with their own unique teachings, special powers and successes when we are able to meet their challenges as part of the heroic journey of life. Antares is one of the magical Behenian stars whose power is magnified by the Moon as it transmits the Antarian light codes of ascension through this golden gateway.
Above shows the Moon with Antares.
Mar 07, Sunday. The First Quarter Moon (16 Sagittarius 57) bravely engages the quest to boldly go where no one has gone before in search of truth and expansion of the self to its widest possible expression.
Venus moves into Aries and trines Mars (1 Leo). The Amazon Warrior (Venus in Aries) and the Warrior King (Mars in Leo) are reminding us of the importance of a true warrior courageously dedicated to protecting the cosmic order of life including the Code of Honor. A true warrior is more interested in promoting peace than going to war but they will fight, and consider it their honor to die, in the defense of their family or community. The true warrior asks: Are you willing to stand for what you believe is just and true? Are you willing to put your whole hearted energy into the causes you feel most passionate about? Do you have the courage and determination to do what it takes to ensure the success of your cause especially as it relates to the cosmic order?
Mercury passing just 1.1 degree SSE of Jupiter as it makes its exact conjunction at 11 Pisces. This conjunction is happening only 6 degrees from the Sun so it is not visible to the naked eye. Mercury and Jupiter join at least once each year though usually in a different sign than the year before. For example, Mercury and Jupiter were conjunct last February 24, 2009 in Aquarius.
Mercury and Jupiter together in Pisces are energizing the visions and ideals that stretch beyond ordinary reality and operate from the imaginative realms where everything is possible. This is a reminder that reality is primarily limited by our imagination and our belief of what is possible. When we actively engage our imagination from the depths of our heart-knowing it connects us with a multi-dimensional universal experience unlocking the secrets of the universe living within us. What we imagine, intend and pay attention to as our personal truth becomes our reality.
Mar 08, Monday. This is also the United Nations International Women’s Day…Gather the Women. Gather the Women invites women to demonstrate their courage to risk leaving old conformities by joining with millions of others throughout the world to celebrate women's true worth, to express shared concern for our human family, and to create and support actions that will enable humanity to live together in a balanced, harmonious and peaceful world… http://www.gatherthewomen.org/aboutus.html#vision
This marks the monthly conjunction of the Moon and Pluto (5 Capricorn 11) just about 10 hours after the Moon enters Capricorn this morning. This three-day window (yesterday, today and tomorrow) may very likely be intensifying any lingering shadow issues for the purpose of transforming them into the medicine that empowers us to be who we truly are. Acceptance of whatever is happening in your life at this time is the most useful strategy for experiencing the transformational opportunity of this window. Resistance adds power to what we are resisting. Surrender and acceptance are the keys to lasting, comprehensive transformation. When faced with resistance to anything we observe in ourselves or in the world it is a great time to repeat the Ho’oponopono mantra... I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.
See March 2, 4, 10, 11, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
Mar 09, Tuesday. Mars is 7.5 degrees SE of Pollux in the evening sky getting ready to station direct tomorrow. (see March 10). The Moon is passing by the North Node (19 
Capricorn) illuminating the Capricorn mysteries of the past 26,000 years in a way that supports the evolution and emergence of a new Capricorn. The past several thousand years Capricorn has been operating through an ever increasing “doing addiction” as a way to prove ourselves to some imagined outside divine authority figure - usually a vengeful God who is taking notes and sending punishment to those who make mistakes or step outside the controlling limits of religious laws designed to enslave the masses.
Thus our current “doing addiction” is primarily driven by the need to prove our value and worth by how much we produce and how much we have, especially money. This fuels the matrix of competition and power over others. However, a new morphogenic field is emerging, expanding conscious awareness and moving us past the old limiting structures to greater freedom of being through forgiveness and cooperation. When we remember money is simply a construct of our current reality symbolizing life force energy and that this life force originates in a field of infinite abundance then a new reality and perception is birthed This includes shifting our understanding and experience of doing and having as well as how we value ourselves, value others, and value life. See March 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
Once again, we can accelerate this shift through self-forgiveness…I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.
Mar 10, Wednesday. The Moon moves into Aquarius energizing the mysteries of radical revolutionary evolution just as Mars is stationing direct at zero Leo reminding us of the importance of loving and forgiving ourselves. Self-forgiveness is an essential element in experiencing genuine self-love. Guilt and shame keep us from loving ourselves, as do anger and rage at what others have seemingly done to us.
Self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others brings a sense of worthiness, peace, and well-being. Be kind and gentle with yourself, just as you would with a small child. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made, for the hurt you have caused yourself and others. This is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and the emerging New Earth paradigm. Self-love born of self-forgiveness, kindness, acceptance, and compassion for our human challenges are powerful keys to co-creating the New Earth. See March 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
Mar 11, Thursday. Venus (5 Aries) squares Pluto (5 Capricorn) with retrograde Saturn at 2 Libra. This combination accelerates the disintegration and annihilation of current shadowed structures that deplete the Earth and all who live here. Pluto excavates these shadowed forms and the powerful Venus in Aries Warrior Goddess fights to right any wrongs and to establish the cause of freedom and justice for all.
Pluto’s job is to call out the shadow from the depths of our personal and collective fears bringing them fully into our awareness and experience. When we are willing to engage Pluto’s alchemical process then our courage to transform guides us. Saturn is about growth through encountering the limits of this reality. This is helped by assessing what works and what doesn’t work and then making new choices that further support what is working and choices that are helping to create something new that is aligned with our current intent.
Pluto and Saturn are asking the Warrior Goddess Venus to let go of preconceived ideas and beliefs of right and wrong or good and bad and take back any projections that limit her experience of her full power as a divinely inspired protector of the cosmic order of life and the protector of the Earth who needs our willingness to help her at this time. The Amazon Warrior knows it’s not about being perfect or having to do it all, rather, it is about each person doing their part that creates the momentum for positive impact.
This is a good time to repeatedly say to the Earth: I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. See March 2, 4, 8, 10, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
Mar 12, Friday. The Moon is approaching Neptune and Chiron today exact tomorrow amplifying the Aquarian mysteries as well as the Neptune (27 Aquarius 07) Chiron (27 Aquarius 53) conjunction. The revolutionary Aquarian domain operates in the realm of ultimate freedom from the known especially when we are willing to embrace “events of extreme novelty” that interrupt the patterns of existence we may take for granted. Part of this is being felt as a speeding up of events, meaning more and more events (especially novel events) are happening in less and less time creating the feeling that Time itself is speeding up. Actually, our experience of Time is relative to where we are in the space time continuum and is more a feature of our left brain dominant society and the construction of the Gregorian Calendar that fixes our experience of Time in a linear form.
One of the gifts of the experience of the acceleration of events and the seemingly speeded up sense of time is that there is no way for us to keep up using our rational mind. We are being required to go beyond logic and reason for guidance. The only trustworthy and true guidance available now comes from our own inner knowing. It is important to remember that no one outside of you knows better than you what is best for you at this time.
This means it is time to tune into to what you know, without knowing necessarily how you know, to figure out the best ways to show up, where to be, and how to consciously navigate these rapidly accelerating experiences. The “informed universe” theory supports the understanding that we inform the mysteries as much as they inform us when we consciously choose to co-create with Great Mystery. We are already co-creating our experience so it makes sense to become a more conscious participant.
It is not so important to already know how to do this, rather it is important to know this is where we are being led and what we are learning how to do. It is time to take risks and trust and follow what you know. No one else can do that for you and ultimately this is about embracing the freedom to choose and to know you are making the choices that are shaping your reality.
Mar 13, Saturday. The Moon passes by Neptune (27 Aquarius 08) and Chiron (27 Aquarius 54) before entering Pisces. The critical mass of inspiration and hope that supported the planetary assemblage point shift with the announcement of the results of the 2008 presidential election on the 4th of November that year, at the time of the first Saturn opposition to Uranus, was instrumental in resetting the planetary Akashic Field also known as the Unified Field. Since that time, many shadow issues have come up for further transformation.
This has often felt disappointing and discouraging after such a beautiful outpouring of love that swept around the globe along with a sense of hope that had not been felt in a long, long time. Despite the appearances that seemingly are counter to all so many had hoped for the template was activated, the energy field was set and we are simply in a time of clearing ALL that is not in alignment with the mass shift in consciousness based in love and hope for humanity that took place at that time. The celebration was inspired by the election but the feelings and energy that created that assemblage point shift was not about politics it was about the vision and hope for a better world, because the political system isn't what is going to change this world. It is the feelings and actions of the people that will create the change. We still have 2 more Saturn Uranus oppositions. The first is April 27 and the last one is July 26.
It is more important than ever that we keep dreaming the dreams of a New Earth reality as our 
dreaming energy taps into and co-creates from the Akashic Field (the field of all possibilities) the place from where all creation arises. The Moon is amplifying the Chiron Neptune planetary initiation intended to heal the wounds that prevent us from fulfilling our divine destiny. Then as the Moon moves into Pisces the energies of compassion and mystical union with the divine that comes when we are trusting in and acting from our inner knowing are being transmitted over the next couple of days.
Mar 14, Sunday. Daylight Savings Time Begins in USA. Sun conjuncts Mercury (24 Pisces) and Moon passes 5 degrees NNW of Jupiter (13 Pisces) only 11 degrees from the Sun probably not visible in the morning sky unless you have a low horizon line and perhaps binoculars. Mercury’s conjunction with the Sun represents the shift from morning star to evening star though Mercury will not be visible in the evening sky until around March 24 and then only with a very low horizon. This Mercury Sun conjunction represents the center point of the psychopomp phase of the Mercury cycle. A psychopomp is a guide for souls similar to Hermes (a.k.a. Thoth) who was the conductor of souls to the underworld or afterworld.
With the Moon also in Pisces passing by Jupiter today and Mercury and Uranus tomorrow our attention is being called to the magnified healing power of forgiveness – especially self-forgiveness and the power of radically forgiving others. Genuine forgiveness is liberating and includes forgiving any harm ever thought, said or done to us by another or to ourselves. Forgiveness is an underlying key to experiencing inner peace and radiant health and well being. Genuine forgiveness is a tender, caring, loving expression of the heart that comes from great strength and willingness to let go of any judgments or actions that have caused us pain in the past.
This type of forgiveness is a conscious co-creative process where a person is choosing to release the effect of painful experiences that can unconsciously drive the choices being made. It is what helps to change how a person feels NOW regarding past experiences. It does NOT change the past experiences only how we feel about them.
This does not mean the pain another person has inflicted on you is okay, nor is it about denying your experience. It is still important to find healthy ways to express and release your rage, anger, and hurt. It is important to engage these feelings for the purpose of releasing them so they are NOT driving your life choices. This means you are no longer willing to have your life defined by the pain someone else, or you yourself, has inflicted on you. It also means you are now choosing to heal your heart through the power of forgiveness to help you let go of the pain. See March 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
Mar 15, Monday. The Ides of March known for the assassination of Julius Caesar. The Pisces New Moon (25 Pisces 10) is conjunct Uranus (26 Pisces) and passes 6 degrees NNW of Mercury now only 1 degree from the Sun. New Moon’s are seed points, beginning a new cycle. In Pisces, this is a time for seeding the healing power of forgiveness. When genuine forgiveness is experienced then we are capable of authentic presence in the moment.
The forgiveness process is the path for those who are ready to step into the New Earth energy of radical self-love and universal compassion. Once we have passed through the portal of genuine forgiveness our lives are forever transformed, freed from the debilitating energies of hatred, revenge, self pity, justification, judgment and blaming others.
Genuine forgiveness is possible when we can courageously and honestly examine our lives and all that we have co-created without justification, excuses, or blame, gently embracing the pain and letting it go when it is ready to go. It is often painful and requires tremendous courage to face these dark and difficult places within but the difficulty, the resulting pain when lovingly and compassionately acknowledge is the doorway to greater freedom and compassion for ourselves and others. It is not always possible to see how this will manifest but the forgiveness process is a key element in experiencing a whole new more joyful way of life. See March 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
I love you. I am Sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.
Mar 16, Tuesday. The Moon moves into Aries activating the sacred warrior who defends and protects the birthing space of the New Earth. Plus we have the exact Sun Uranus conjunction at 26 Pisces further opening a doorway for more radical changes in this New Moon window that was exact yesterday. The Sun/Uranus conjunction is illuminating the Uranian mysteries of unpredictable change facilitating an increasing desire to break out of existing conditions and embrace new exciting pursuits. Following up on yesterday’s theme of radical compassion and forgiveness as a way to alter your current assemblage point there has never been a better time to embrace the healing power of forgiveness.
This is about forgiving the unforgiveable that nearly everyone has experienced in some form or another whether they were betrayed, abused and tortured as a child, as a spouse, or as a prisoner of war or any number of tragic experiences. What is done is done and cannot be changed. Forgiveness however is always possible. So this is about how it affects your experience now. Those who are unwilling to forgive are living in the past at the effect of what has happened. Those who are willing to forgive liberate themselves from the past so they can live more fully in the present.
This works miracles. Letting go of self-justification and self-righteousness facilitates inner peace and well-being not only for you but for all those around you!!! I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. See March 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
Also late tonight is the exact Venus Moon conjunction 11:08 pm in the Pacific time zone. See March 17.
Mar 17, Wednesday. Happy St Patrick’s Day as celebrated by the Roman Catholic calendar 
was designed to replace the Celebration of the Celtic festivals celebrating Spring and honoring the Green God or Green Man.
The Moon is 6 degrees NNW of Venus (12 Aries) 16 degrees from the Sun (26 Pisces) visible in the evening sky after Sunset. This is the first truly visible Venus Moon conjunction since Venus rose as an evening star last month marking the movement of Venus (Inanna) through the first gate where she retrieves her royal robe or Garment of Ladyship symbolizing the first chakra a.k.a the root chakra. Remember this is an important ceremonial time to acknowledge especially if you are someone who is in an eight year (8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72. 80, 88, 94, 102 etc) between April 3, 2009 and Nov 4, 2010 as this marks your personal 8 year Venus return.
When the Queen of Heaven journeys to the underworld she is required to give up her vestments that symbolize any distortions she has related to the chakra associated with that vestment. The Root Chakra (located at the base of the spine a.k.a sacrum) is most linked to survival and all that goes with it including physical needs, health, and overall well being. This chakra according to yogic traditions is the source of kundalini or life force energy.
At this Venus gate Inanna is retrieving a healthy relationship with this chakra energy and her connection to source in ways that nourish and sustain her physical needs and enhance her experience of the life force energy that is always available. A healthy first chakra also provides a basic sense of security and safety with the deep intuitive knowing that we have the right to grow into our fullest expression of our divine destiny in this lifetime. A healthy root chakra experiences life as welcoming, supportive and nurturing. It is natural to trust that that life will always generously provide for our needs no matter what the seeming circumstances. A healthy first chakra collaborates and co-creates with Great Mystery nurturing a sense of connection and belonging to the Earth that has purpose.
This is a great time to ceremonially honor this Venus gate. This could include spending time in nature while gratefully recounting all the ways life is supporting you. A ceremony at this time might include creating a vision board or mandala or altar focused on healthy root chakra images you are consciously reclaiming and activating more fully in your life. Take time to tune in to your own intuitive guidance for other ways to work with this Venus gate. It may be that all you need to do is look toward the western sky after Sunset and honor Venus and the Moon by witnessing them together and being open to any transmissions they are sending your way.
Note: Daniel Giamario, my partner Peter Klein, myself and Gael Chilson all observed Venus in the sunset glow on February 15. This was a week before the ceremonial rising of Venus thought to occur when Venus is 10 degrees from the Sun. This is inspiring a rethinking of how the Venus gates are working in the cycle. Are we at the first or second gate? Until we get more insights and clarity I am sticking with this as the first gate and encouraging everyone to tune in for your own guidance about how to work with this Venus gate.
Adding to the Aries theme is the movement of Mercury into Aries just 12 degrees away from Venus. Mercury is traveling through Aries until April 2. The Aries Amazon Warrior Goddess directly engages in decisive, assertive, courageous, and spontaneous action. Messenger Mercury is bringing the messages that are intuitively inspired supporting authentic decisive action aligned with divine will.
Mar 18, Thursday. Mercury (2 Aries) is opposite Saturn (2 Libra) and moving to square Pluto (5 Capricorn). The transformational messenger Mercury is courageously bringing a new message to the old Saturn World View that we are not good enough. This punishing Saturnian view has enslaved humanity through fear and the belief that we must somehow prove ourselves to a judgmental supreme being. Again…the current economic and religious structures are designed to create greater fear and condemnation of what we do not understand.
This entire month is a great time to look deeply at what you condemn within yourself and others including the governmental structures, the religious structures, the wars, hunger, disease, pollution, big corporations, literally everything no matter how justified it seems. If you find condemnation within, then practicing forgiveness is the first step to healing it within yourself and thus the world. This is the teaching of Ho’oponopono and Carl Jung agreed saying:
“We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.” Carl Gustav Jung
See March 2, 4, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, and 31.
The Moon moves into Taurus this morning energizing the mysteries of pleasure and beauty as the path to the divine. Pleasure often comes unexpectedly in moments when we allow ourselves to be aware of the magic and mystery all around us.
Mar 19, Friday. Tomorrow is the Vernal Equinox when the Sun crosses Zero Aries having reached the balance between the hours of day and night. Also the Moon is visible approaching the Pleiades occulting it late tonight or early tomorrow depending on your time zone. This occultation is visible in Peru, Columbia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Panama. (see the February 21, 2010 Archives for more)
Ceres moves into Capricorn today crossing the December Solstice point of zero Capricorn very near Pluto at 5 Capricorn 20. Ceres stations retrograde on April 30 at 4 Capricorn 37 nearly conjunct Pluto also retrograde by then at 5 Capricorn 16. Ceres and Pluto finally make their exact meeting on October 19, 2010 at 3 Capricorn 07. Ceres has been in our collective awareness since 1801 and was the first asteroid ever discovered. Interestingly in 2006 when Pluto was demoted from a planet to a dwarf planet Ceres was promoted from an asteroid to a Dwarf Planet. This is intriguing to consider as Ceres and Pluto come together in Capricorn.
Ceres is the Roman counterpart to Demeter, an Earth Mother fertility goddess preceded by Inanna and Ishtar. Their stories all have in common the descent or journey into the underworld, featuring an initiatory death and rebirth theme. Ceres passing through Capricorn focuses on the practical, organized, efficient wise mother archetype. Pluto is excavating the shadow aspect of this energy that has expressed in more recent times as the domineering mother (or Grandmother) who believes she knows what is best for her children. From this belief she often interferes with their dreams and desires as she asserts her will and does what she thinks is best for them. These next few months are an opportunity to heal and revision this limited expression of the Mother/Grandmother archetype bringing these shadowed aspects to light. This helps free the distortion of this aspect of the feminine so she is using her wisdom and knowledge to support others rather than mold them into what she believes is who they should be. (Demetra George Asteroid Goddesses )
Once again practicing forgiveness helps to facilitate healing regardless of whether you have been the domineering mother type who manipulates her children or you have been at the affect of it.
I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.
Mercury (5 Aries) squares Pluto (5 Capricorn). Healthy Mercury in Aries boldly speaks what is on their mind. In aspect to Pluto it is an opportunity to shine a light on shadowed aspects of communication especially the kind that wounds or causes the other to feel attacked, threatened or unsafe. This is a time to consider what your message is and how to share it in ways that create opportunities for healthy communication watching out for projection, blame and condemnation.
Mar 20, Saturday. The Moon occults the Pleiades in the early morning hours just prior to the Sun moving to zero Aries on this Equinox day of equal day and night. http://www.newgrange.com/loughcrew-sep09.htm 
The Sun is the seasonal metronome of the Earth. Metronome comes from the Greek word metron meaning measure and nomos meaning rule or defined. Metronome then is a definite measure of time. The dictionary definition says it is a device used to mark time by means of regularly recurring ticks or flashes at adjustable intervals. Each year the Sun rises or sets along the horizon reaching due east and due west at the Equinoxes.
There are four primary Solar Gates each year when the Sun reaches the Solstice and Equinox points. Ancient cultures understood the importance of these gateways and aligned with them through ceremonial intent. As we remember our place as conscious co-creators it is vital we find ways to acknowledge and honor these ceremonial solar gates. This doesn’t necessarily mean adopting old ways. Rather it is about healthy finding the ways that have value and 
meaning now for the purpose of utilizing the energy of the Sun and the information coming in through these solar gates. The Sun is the source of light, life, energy, and health. We have been programmed to fear the Sun and how it ages us and causes skin cancer. However, the Sun carries vital life force and light information to our bodies and it is important to take time to enjoy the Sun at least a few minutes a day whenever possible. Sunlight helps to attune (or entrain) our bodies to the light frequencies of planetary ascension. It also aids in dispelling depression when used wisely.
So on this Equinox day the power of the light codes or information coming from the Sun is magnified as it rises and sets precisely over the Earth’s equator lessening the magnetic field of the Earth and providing easy access, or a doorway, into the greater mysteries. There is no better time for ceremonially sending love into the Earth grid.
The Spring Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere) begins today when the Sun enters Aries (at 10:32 am Pacific Time) and is seen rising due East and setting due West on all points of the Earth. http://www.celestialtimings.com/articles/equinoxes.html
This is a call to ALL Light Workers and Way-Showers,
Mystics and Sages, Masters, Saints and Angels!
to participate the Great Grand Mother
of all Ancient Count Downs.
YOU are being called .... YES YOU !
... to join the long awaited
Grand Universal Synchronization Celebration ...
a Spiritual Pandemic ...
a Conscious Revolution of the ONE HEART.
Are you ready to raise up your hands, hearts
and wings to create a better world?
It is YOUR TIME to SHINE to create a new world! Details here
Mar 21, Sunday. The Sun opposes Retrograde Saturn (1 Libra 20) meaning Saturn is rising as the Sun is setting. Once each year Saturn reaches opposition to the Sun when it is closest to the Earth and brightest visible in the sky all night long setting as the Sun is rising. This marks an important transmission of light energy to Saturn now journeying through the realm of conscious equal partnership all this year and next.
Plus the Sun (1 Aries) trines Mars (1 Leo) now in direct motion since March 10. This is an illumination point around the mysteries of self-love. When Mars trines the Sun it means Mars is barely moving in the sky and is essentially at a still point portal. In Leo this portal is directly accessing the mysteries of self-love. A well-known self-love practice that I shared in the December Timings included looking into a mirror several times a day, looking deeply into your eyes and saying “I really love you” and saying your name. For example, I would say “I really love you, Cayelin Castell.” You might even try adding some additional really-s… “I really, really, really love you Cayelin Castell!” While doing this note how long you are able to gaze into your own eyes without having to look away or feeling uncomfortable? Note what feelings come up for you? Do you feel tears? If you do, let the tears come, because they are melting the barriers you have to self-love. Doing this practice is a way to begin to build trust in yourself and your ability to love who you really are.
It might enhance your experience to also say the Ho’oponopono statements to yourself while looking in the mirror: I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive. Thank you.
Note where the Moon is tonight passing about 8.6 degrees N of Aldebaran, marking the eye of the Bull inside the Sacred Hoop, about 69 degrees from the western horizon as the Sun sets.
Mar 22, Monday. The Moon moves into Cancer crossing the center point of the Sacred Hoop and the Galactic Cross. Plus Mars (1 Leo) sextiles Saturn (1 Libra) suggesting a middle world teaching is available to Mars as he continues his quest for radical self-love in this Equinox time when we are crossing the initiatory threshold of the Sun moving into Aries (now trining Mars) at a time when whatever is in motion picks up greater speed. That means if we have been practicing self-forgiveness for the purpose of experiencing greater self-love then whatever action is being taken toward this goal, is accelerating in strength and purpose.
There are many actions that help facilitate authentic and transformative forgiveness. The first most essential ingredient is being willing to let go of whatever violation you may have experienced. Being willing doesn’t mean you automatically let go, it means you are willing to let go. Hanging onto the pain, the betrayal, the unfairness of whatever may have happened in the past keeps you at the effect of those events and separate from the healing power of love. Again, it helps to remember that by forgiving yourself and others it does not disregard your experience and it does not condone or deny what happened. It does recognize, however, that you are powerless to change the events that have already occurred and you are willing to empower yourself through forgiveness. You cannot unring the bell once it has been rung.
When we embrace forgiveness and heal our wounds the whole world around us changes. It is important to find the forgiveness process that works for you and engages all aspects of your being, the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual parts of yourself. This is the type of forgiveness that is deeply felt within your entire being when the feelings have been embraced and acknowledged. This is essential to a genuine forgiveness experience because denial or pretending it didn’t happen only gives greater power to the unacknowledged pain. Genuine forgiveness includes being willing to face and transform the pain and the unfairness as well as acknowledging and taking responsibility for your part as co-creator. See intro for links to different types of Forgiveness practices. http://www.crtraining.org/library/forgiveness/
Mar 23, Tuesday. The Cancer First Quarter Moon (2 Cancer 42) is exact very near the center of the Sacred Hoop and is nearly opposite Pluto (5 Capricorn). The Cancer mysteries are focused on creating new ways of doing family and community based in cooperation and working together to create a sustainable nurturing lifestyle. Pluto’s job is to bring whatever shadow issues are preventing this from happening into the light of our awareness so we can transform it through forgiveness. I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.
Mar 24, Wednesday. The Moon is visible approaching Mars (1 Leo) tonight. The exact conjunction will be tomorrow morning and the Moon will be visible beyond Mars tomorrow night. This is the first Moon conjunction with Mars since Mars went direct earlier this month. On January 29/30 the Full Moon rose with Mars marking the beginning of a new 26 month Mars cycle featuring the quest for greater expressions of healthy self-love. Mars stationed direct on March 10th at zero Leo and remains in Leo until June 7, 2010. This Moon Mars conjunction represents the first test or task of the current quest. The process of self-forgiveness though often difficult is necessary to experience genuine self-love.
Who do you need to forgive besides yourself? Is there anyone you are blaming for unfair and tragic events in your life? Are you angry, frustrated, sad, grieving or some other emotion that you haven’t given yourself permission to fully feel? Do you need to find a quiet safe place to express rage, hurt, frustration, or some other extreme emotion, for the purpose of releasing it?
Can you acknowledge your failure, or the failure of others, to live up to your expectations? Can you take responsibility for your experience, your feelings, your life, and the path of destiny that is yours to follow? Can you give back to those who have hurt you, responsibility for their own life and what they are co-creating without your judgment or expectations of what you think that should be like? Can you let go of the need to punish or get revenge?
As already stated letting go of expectations and the sense of revenge or justice brings a sense of peace and well-being. The energy of revenge and justice hold a space within our being. So once this is released that space is now empty and ready to be filled with love and joy by whatever imagery or practice works for you. This fits with the Ho’oponopono statements that start with I love you. The love is directed toward yourself and anyone or anything you are forgiving. It is as simple as asking love to fill it.
Mar 25, Thursday. The Moon enters Leo at 2:39 am Pacific Time and catches up to Mars at 5:15 am Pacific. The Sun (5 Aries) squares Pluto (5 Capricorn) reminding us Pluto goes retrograde in about two weeks on April 6.
The Moon in Leo is traveling in this realm until 3:57 am Pacific Time March 27. Moon in Leo asks “How comfortable and confident are you in allowing the fullness of your radiant light to shine in all that you do and all that you are in this world?” Are you attuned to and following your own heart knowing with confidence and compassion. Are you anchored in healthy-self love that comes from self-forgiveness and the forgiveness of others?
Without self-forgiveness genuine self-love is not possible. Without genuine self-love genuine happiness and fulfillment are not possible. So the practice of forgiveness and self-forgiveness are the gift you give yourself.
Venus is conjunct Baten Katos in the Belly of the Whale. (see March 28 for details)
Mar 26, Friday. The Moon is visible approaching Regulus, the bright star marking the heart of the Lion, the royal star that connects with Archangel Raphael and the healing power of love…especially when self-forgiveness is included.
The Stauffer method of forgiveness suggests you face an empty chair and imagine the person or situation you are forgiving is seating there. It helps to call in your higher self, the guardian angels, beings of light, master teachers and guides that work with you to assist you in this process. Then state your willingness to forgive. Once the space is set for the forgiveness process it is time to express your feelings about the situation, yourself or any other person causing you pain. Be as specific as possible, stating what the events were, and what your experience was or is as honestly as possible.
Then express in detail how you would have preferred the situation to have taken place. Feel what you feel about the loss of this outcome and then release that expectation. Ceremonial release can be enacted through various means such as offering it to a ceremonial fire or water, sweeping it away with gestures, or any other actions that help disengage the energy and release it from your physical body. It is important to acknowledge your preference and release your expectation. Ken Keyes, creator of the Living Love method and author of The Handbook to Higher Consciousness refers to this process as up leveling your expectations or demands to preferences.
The idea is to consciously let go of all your demands and expectations around the situation or how the other person could have behaved differently. The fact is the deeds are done and nothing can change that, however, by releasing the expectations and demands your energy is freed. This doesn’t mean you have to be friends with a person who may still try to hurt you or isn’t willing to look at their part in the situation. What is important is you are now free of whatever feelings and thoughts that were binding you to the past. Now you are free to be responsible for your life experience. There is no one left to blame, not even yourself. There is nothing left to justify or condemn. This may result in feeling a great emptiness, so the last step is to fill your body with light and love. See the link for the Stauffer method in the intro.
Mar 27, Saturday. The Moon moves into Virgo at about 4 am Pacific Time. The Virgo mysteries are attuned to the patterning of life and the sacred ways of maintaining balance with the seen and unseen worlds around us. When we are attuned with the pattern of our own lives then we are more easily supported by the Source of All that IS. If you are feeling resistance around any of your efforts in the world it can be a message to look more deeply at how you are engaging the world around you. Perhaps what you are attempting to do is not in alignment with your pattern? Or perhaps there is only a small but significant part that is not aligned or in integrity with who you are? In that case, it may help to located that part and bring it into alignment through intention, ceremony, prayer or whatever else works for you.
Mar 28, Sunday. Daylight Savings Time begins for the European Union. The Moon is at perigee (closest approach to Earth) as we approach the Full Moon exact tomorrow night. The Moon remains in Virgo today and moves into Libra in the early morning hours tomorrow.
Mercury reaches (22 Aries) conjunct the fixed star Baten Kaitos is located in the one of the largest constellations known as Cetus, the whale, covering 50 degrees of the sky by length and 20 degrees by width. The head of Cetus is located directly under the Ram (a.k.a. Aries) and its body stretches from the bend in the great river Eridanus to the Stream falling from the Urn of the Waterbearer (a.k.a. Aquarius). Cetus lives in an area of the sky where most its neighboring constellations have some connection with water including the Fishes (a.k.a Pisces) to the east and the Seagoat (a.k.a Capricorn) to the west; and to the south lies Piscis Austrinus, the Southern Fish. Many ancient cultures saw this area of the sky as "the Sea". In Greek myth Cetus is the whale that is sent to punish Queen Cassiopeia, and her daughter Andromeda is sent as a sacrifice and then rescued by Perseus and Pegasus. Cetus is also linked with the biblical myth of Jonah and the Whale.
Baten Kaitos is known as the ‘belly of the whale.’ In his book “Hero With a Thousand Faces” Joseph Campbell describes the “belly of the whale” as a stage of initiation or “passage through a magical threshold” taking the hero or heroine into the unknown. This also corresponds to initiations of self-annihilation where the hero/ine’s journey goes inward beyond ordinary time and space for the purpose of rebirth. Mercury with Baten Kaitos is sending us messages about our own personal and planetary initiation processes. Being still, going within and listening deeply can be especially supportive at this time.
Mar 29, Monday. The Libra Full Moon (9 Libra) is always followed by Easter Sunday this year 
on April 4. The Moon passes by Saturn this morning before reaching the exact Full Moon phase at 7:25 PM Pacific Time tonight. This Full Moon is energizing the mysteries of conscious loving partnership with ourselves and others. Co-creative relationships enhance the energy and creativity of those involved. When the co-creative process of relationship is engaged then harmony, passion, productivity, joy, and ecstasy are all possible. This does require a willing partner and someone who can take emotional and psychic responsibility for their part of the relationship. See link for art image above
However, ultimately co-creative relationship begins with ourselves. If we are not consciously co-creating our life experience we may not be ready to engage a conscious co-creative relationship with another. Our first and most important primary conscious relationship is the one we are co-creating within and this Full Moon shines a light on all our relationships.
Mar 30, Tuesday. Passover Begins today and goes through April 6. This is the celebration of the Jewish holiday of Pesach (Passover) an 8 day observance commemorating the freedom and exodus of the Iraelites (Jewish slaves) from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II. The first two days of Passover are full-fledged, no-work-allowed holy days. The next four days, limited types of work are allowed. Then two more holidays (holy days) are observed. Passover is traditionally a time families and communities gather. The celebrations include a Seder (ceremonial meal) featuring special food, songs, and stories marking the main event of the Passover celebration. Reading the Haggadah, or historic story of Passover connects current generations with their ancestors and an understanding of the initiatory cycles of life.
Ancient cultures around the planet including the Christian observance of Easter (this year on April 4) have marked the spring season with high ceremony and celebration. (The Christian observance of Easter originated from the Goddess Eostare.) This is a potent time of year to find ways to connect with the seasonal energy in ways that work for you. Some will find their family traditions help them to remember their connection to the Earth and to Great Spirit. Others will find it is time to create their own traditions and ways to honor this time. Connecting to your heart knowing and remembering we are in relationship to the Earth is the leading edge of working with this time. This means that no one tradition, old or new, is better than any other.
Mars (2 Leo) is now moving in forward direction sextile retrograde Saturn (2 Libra) who is moving back to the exact zero Libra equinox point by April 7. These energies remind us of the importance of focusing our energy on what it is we truly desire to co-create. Mars in Leo is illuminating the mysteries of self-love, self-worth, self-approval, and self-acceptance. The structuring power of Saturn in relationship to the active power of Mars in Leo as divine creator reminds us that we are the divine seeds of creation. When we utilize the infinite dynamic life force available to us by experiencing all the many levels of universal divine expression we are in alignment with our divine design and consciously co-creating the New Earth.
Mar 31, Wednesday. The Moon moves into Scorpio opposite Venus as she moves into Taurus until April 24 traveling through the domain of sacred pleasure. Any pleasurable, enjoyable experience engaged with conscious intent for the purpose of promoting self-awareness, well-being, and the strength and vitality of all concerned, ultimately leading to a state of bliss and ecstasy, is in the domain of Sacred Pleasure. The Moon in Scorpio is activating the intensity of this tantric axis and further energizing the possibility for deeply passionate experiences of life force energy that are intensely alive, co-creative and juicy. Here is a reminder of the importance of healthy use of our life force energy in the co-creative process.
According to the Tree of Life, "The sexual energy used by human beings for reproduction is also used by the Divinity to create and recreate. Anyone too fixated, too emotional, or embarrassed by the sexual function is not free to use that energy for illumination." The description of the use of this path continues with, "The sex organs are related to intensity of feelings, our ability to keep going, bravery, and inspiration." It is also noted that when sex is looked on as ugly or dirty, or somehow not acceptable, that energy is imprisoned. Imprisoned energies (energy blocks) always damage the body, mind, and spirit. Such imprisoned energy can block us in just about any way possible. Energy blocks from repressed sexual and sensual emotional levels can affect any portion of the body, any mental attitude, and will always (all ways) poison the spirit unless cured. http://www.kundalini-tantra.com/peh16.html
This brings us to another great gift of self-forgiveness as it helps to remove any blocks we may have in our life force energy. Taking time to engage self-forgiveness frees the imprisoned life force energy, or Kundalini, ultimately inspiring the fulfillment of our true divine design once the energy blocks have been released. The power of self-forgiveness frees us to be empowered conscious co-creators of the Garden of Earthly Delight!
