Cave of Forgotten Dreams
THE MOST EMBARRASSING thing you could do with this Mercury retrograde in Pisces is to stab through its disorienting fog with a sword of divinely channeled plans and proclamations of certainty. Trust me, your sexy scheme is more anti-chaotic than final solution. Save Napoleon for April and recite your mantra:
Plot lines grunting free will dreams,
Same old actor; different scenes.
Who are you? A cave of forgotten dreams. What is there to do? As little as possible- except spelunking.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces (March 5-28)
Murky goes retro in water signs three times this year and since water is so receptive and yielding, the glitches and resets may be more subtle, inward and behind the scenes. Will you deny your need for “shrine time” and become so porous that you’re swamped by other’s feelings? Or will you ground your empathy in a clearly defined facilitative role with agreed upon start times and end points? Will you savor and inquire into the flood of synchronicity and timeless soul connections? Or will you gloss over them, burdening your subconscious with eerie, undigested mystery?
Pisces on Steroids
Mercury conjuncts Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) on March 24 and April 2nd and the New Moon falls in the sign of Pisces as well. Add to this, the buoyantly transcendental Jupiter/Neptune square and you get a month full of amazingly creative, spiritual openings. Pay no attention to the retrograde doomers. This Mercury is eminently manageable due to its integrative Sextile aspects to Pluto, Mars and Saturn. Still: Don’t buy, don’t sell, don’t sign and expect travel delays.
Pisces Walking Chant
Clearly, March wants to turn us into a “mystics in the matrix.” Having trouble finding the balance? Here’s a playful, work-a-day chant that synchs nicely with the rhythm of your walking:
Just the right amount of sun, just the right amount of shade.
Just the right amount of freedom, just the right amount of fate.
My only destination is this holy fascination
Gridlocked, in God’s grace.
To get the most from this retrograde, surround yourself with straight forward, earthy types that keep you grounded, even as you dive into Piscean perceptual tasks like the one below.
Pisces Perceptual Task
Stare at a glass. Ask: Which is more true?
1) Glass is having existence.
2) Existence is having a glass.
March 6th New Moon in Pisces: Extinction Rebellion
Conjunct Neptune and sextile Saturn in earthy Capricorn and Mars in earthy Taurus, this New Moon has the power to conjure a more soul-honoring vision of our Capricorn work in the world. Not sure what your soul-work is? Perfect time for a nuts-and-bolts astrology reading.
This New Moon coincides with Uranus moving into Taurus for seven years which favors participation in revolutionary, earth-saving groups like, Extinction Rebellion. The most revolutionary way to rebel against extinction? Developing a regular practice of feeling into the unborn, undying essence of who we are and allowing our words and deeds to arise from this timeless presence. This new Moon: an ideal time to get Capricorn serious about some kind of grounded Piscean practice.
March 21st Full Moon in Libra: Stellar Eulogies
This Full Moon occurs at 0 degrees Libra- a critical degree that favors a bold, relational pivot into a life that is more mutually satisfying to both partners. In a relationship? Ask: Are the two of you allies in awakening? Not sure? How does that feel? How might your friendships overflow into the world in a spirit of soulful alliance? This opposition is part of an auspicious “kite” formation. With Mars trining the Full Moon and the slowly tightening conjunction between Saturn and Pluto (rocking the world stage this January) building up steam, the time is now to consciously choose your allies in awakening so you can present a united, faith-inspiring front to the souls struggling in the tumult of 2020. Need a nudge? Try meditating on this:
Many of us have stellar resume’s but will not have stellar eulogies. ~Esther Perel
