Wednesday 3/27/13--full moon

Energized alignment between revolutionary expression, harmonious sensitivity and deep nature power starts to break open, with transformative consequences. Give in to creation, settled with peace amidst the drama.

(Sun, Venus, Mars, Uranus in Aries, Moon full in Libra--2:27am PDT--all square Pluto in Capricorn.)

Spring 2013

A powerful spring of historic development begins with intensified expression.

Sun crosses equinox, day and night equal everywhere on the planet, into Aries, Wednesday 3/20, 4:02am PDT. Spring in the north, the balance tipping toward emerging light. With Moon in flowing feeling Cancer, into peak passion Leo by the weekend, it starts with big energy release.

Activating Mars meets revolutionary Uranus in self-assertive Aries Friday 3/22, 11:17am PDT, energized by (square) the primal power of Pluto in Capricorn Tuesday 3/26, 8:44pm PDT. The first full moon of spring (Passover) is Wednesday 3/27, 2:27am PDT--Sun in Aries with beautiful Venus, wise Uranus and impulsive Mars, Moon full opposite in loving Libra, all square Pluto in Capricorn. (Thursday, Sun, Venus and Uranus meet in Aries, Sunday--Easter--Sun and Venus square Pluto.) A season of renewal is launched with full force.

The Mayan Calendar describes the progressive intensification of vibratory energy that has driven the emergence of human consciousness on this planet. That process is now complete. Major astrological forces are combining to activate revolutionary development rooted in the power of nature--Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn, the next energized peak on 5/20.

We have entered the Apocalyptic Era, the light of truth breaking through resistance, with transformative consequences. It may bring dramatic upheaval, but it will lead us to the next level of flowering fertility.

Sunday 3/17/13

Mercury ends retrograde in Pisces Sunday 3/17, 1:03pm PDT.

Weeks of mental reflection in spiritual sensitivity comes to completion, mind backing to a stop in tender feeling deep within us. It begins to move forward from there just as Sun crosses spring equinox into Aries on Wednesday 3/20, 4:02am PDT, tipping the balance toward emerging light.

For those troubled by Mercury retrograde, especially when making big decisions, let's always remember the surprising selection for Pope of a sincere and humble man invoking the kindness of St. Francis while Mercury was retrograde in Pisces. "It can make for magical connections if we give in..."

Monday 3/11/13--Pisces new moon

A time of saturating sensitivity is complete at the new moon in Pisces (12:51pm Pacific time), mind reflective there one more week (Mercury ends retrograde in Pisces 3/17).

Personal passion is activated late Monday night (Mars into Aries 11:26pm, Moon joining it Tuesday 4:35am), leading the way into a new spring of revolutionary development. Reinforced nature power will be breaking out, with transformative consequences.

(Sun into Aries--spring equinox--3/20 4:02am PT. Pluto in Capricorn square Uranus in Aries 5/20.)

Friday 3/8/13

Completing a time of reinforced sensitivity (many planets in Pisces, Saturn in Scorpio), we move through alignment in awareness, our place in the pattern of life's interrelationship (Moon in Aquarius). Tender resolution at Pisces new moon on Monday (12:28 PT), beginning spring emergence.

Saturday 3/2/13

In a time of primal power, a peak of intensified feeling. Saturating vulnerability complete at new moon on 3/11.
