Aries 2009--Intensified Passion

At a time of reinforced nature power, intensified passion. Internalizing love and expressive sensitivity are charged up with physicality. There is activated wisdom in tenderness and creative healing dreams in visionary awareness. We are guided toward fruitful development.

(With Pluto in Capricorn, Sun is in Aries. Venus retrograde in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn and Mars in Pisces opposes Saturn, both on April 4. Mars meets Uranus in Pisces on April 15, Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are aligning in Aquarius. Saturn in Virgo.)

Thursday 3/26/09--Aries new moon

The first new moon of spring. Passion is getting to us--soul, heart, mind and love--at a time of deep transformation. The power of nature is breaking through resistance, replacing distortion with fertility and renewal.

(Aries new moon 9:06am Pacific time--Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus--with Pluto in Capricorn.)

Pisces 2009--Saturating Tenderness

In this first year beyond the historic shift of deep power (248-year-cycle Pluto now in Capricorn), we're just getting through winter, a test of seed essence survival in a changing world.

Much planetary influence has been concentrated in Aquarius, aligning us in awareness. In Pisces, the last month of winter, we have been saturated in feeling, a baptism in the nurturance of spirit for the germinated seed of possibility, now being drawn toward the light of a new day.

Spring begins on Friday, March 20, though the new moon in Aries on Thursday, March 26, will be the true start of new passion emergence into flowering and fertility.
