Feb 26 – March 4th

Money & Market Transformations

What to expect: Money transformations
What to watch out for: Passionate conflicts
What will it affect? Money, markets, relationships, communication

Over the past week, during the days following the Solar Eclipse and the unfortunate events of yet another school shooting in Florida, the students have taken a stand. They are gaining traction and notice, calling for action and change. They had their biggest impact in the days leading up to the Mars Vesta conjunction in Sagittarius. Their passion was strong and the message clear. “We don’t want your thought and prayers, we want your action and if you don’t take action, we’re coming for your jobs!” This has sparked many companies, (most related to the Sagittarius ruled travel industry – car rental companies and airlines), to pull their financial relationships with the (NRA) National Riffle Association.

Mars and Vesta conjunctions are associated with new cycles in the stock market, but having made their conjunction over the weekend, it takes Mercury the messenger to deliver the news of those changes over the coming days. Between February 27th and 28th, Mercury will square Mars and Vesta, still in a close conjunction in Sagittarius. For many, the news isn’t good and disagreements are likely to be filled with aggression, passion and a clear message of not wanting to work together.

Mercury is in Pisces and is deeply in tune with the collective will right now. Mercury is making a sextile to Pluto sparking powerful words and the ability to read between the lines. Venus is also making a sextile to Pluto causing money and finances to experience a transformation. Money normally experienced on a materialistic level takes on a spiritual purpose as Venus in Pisces is the higher octave of love. This is good news for those who have been holding space for a raised corporate consciousness and true corporate social responsibility.

Urge to Merge

What to expect: Merging
What to watch out for: Fantasy and sacrifice
What will it affect? Independence, planning, strategy

The Full Moon is on March 1st in Virgo. The Sabian symbol for the degree of the full moon is “A bride with her veil snatched away.” In some versions of this degree meaning, the veil is snatched by her husband.

Veils were worn in marriage as a symbol of virginity. The veil taken off during the wedding was/is symbolic of the marriage. Virgo is known as a pure sign ‘The Virgin.’ It’s important to remember that “virgin” in ancient times only signified an unmarried woman. A sacred virgin (sacred whore) also wore a veil as a sign of her commitment to her position. Somewhere over time, virginity and chastity came to mean the same thing. Virginity in its truest sense signifies an independent woman, whether or not she is chaste. I bring this up because many see the snatching of the veil as a loss of virginity in a sexual sense; an act which has a whole host of connotations and issues for powerful and independent women. This time is not about that. It’s a time when we decide to lose some of our independence in favour of creating a new unit. That new unit being more powerful, healthy and divine.

The Moon in Virgo is opposite the Sun and Neptune. This casts some fantasy into the situation. Virgo wants and needs to understand who she is as a “virgin”- an independent person prior to merging. Yet there is a push to merge that is enticed by the fantasy of the union. Luckily the moon is also making a helpful grand trine with Pallas and Lilith. This energy helps us to strategize and formulate a plan as well as to assess the power dynamic prior to taking the step to “become one.”

What do we need to strategize? The need to let go of the fantasy, how to keep the balance of masculine and feminine energy, and our choice of when and to whom we relinquish or sacrifice our power. The goal… a marriage that brings in a healthy, sacred, higher love.

Transcending Money Wounds

What to expect: Opportunities for healing
What to watch out for: Painful discussions
What will it affect? Relationships, money, communication, unconscious drives

Between March 1st – 4th, Venus and Mercury are conjunct in the spiritual sign of Pisces, the sign that likes to merge spiritually. The two make a sextile to Jupiter in Scorpio, the sign that likes to merge psychically, financially and sexually. Mercury and Venus hold loving conversations and together they bring in Jupiter to discuss sex, money and the depths of our psyche.

This is an excellent time to discuss contracts, including marriage or business contracts and specifically, money in relation to those contracts. These are often difficult topics to discuss with unconscious, social and ancestral legacies attached to the way we view love and money. With all these planets in Pisces however, there is a chance to transcend the differences and/or the impact of our past. Chiron also joins in on the action, activating healing during these discussions and on these topics. If you find these discussions too difficult, a mediator, coach or counselor can help to facilitate understanding. It’s worth it to work through wounds as doing so will also have an impact on the collective consciousness and will facilitate healing on a collective level.

The energy is also amazing for a “Stellar Launch.” You will find other Stellar Launch days in the Introductory Business Timing Calendar. For in depth insights, subscribe to the 12 Month Rolling Business Astrology Calendar allowing you to plan and time your business events, leverage productivity and balance your life up to 12 month in advance!

Questioning Control

What to expect: Manifesting power
What to watch out for: Unexpected manifestations
What will it affect? Relationships, love, values, inner wisdom

On February 19th, Venus and Pallas work together to help us develop a strategy around our deepest desires. Venus in Pisces is working its magnetic magic and connects with Pallas in Taurus to weave a tangible Venusian beauty within our world. The two are helping us connect and manifest that which we value with our desires. Venus is also working with Lilith to help us question our need for control vs. Venus’s need to “be” and “allow.” Lilith’s ways are irrational, instinctive and sometimes undermining. For example, the other day I had a craving for pizza, but I ignored it because it meant eating that would take me off my path. But I desired it. And the next day guess what showed up at lunch? Two boxes of hot freely offered pizza! I manifested the pizza. After eating it, I felt bad. I was disappointed with myself and angry that I had no self-control. But where does this need for control come from? Truthfully it comes from a socially imposed idea that beauty equals slim and the concept that being slim is the only way you can ensure being loved. This is the type of wrench that Lilith will throw in our manifesting path. She has us go deeper in understanding our values and desires. Maybe contrary to our conscious mind,… pizza is what we desire! The question is, are there ways to have pizza AND love?

Spiritual Practice

What to expect: Spiritual Discipline
What to watch out for: Opportunities to ground
What will it affect? Communication, relationships, personal development

There is a whole line up of planets in Pisces! By February 23th we’ll have Sun, Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Chiron and Juno in the sign. Thankfully we’ll have Saturn to ground the energy as the rest of the planets attempt to pull our energy upward. On February 21st, Mercury which is now in dreamy Pisces will sextile Saturn and we get a balance of dreamy vision with conservative caution. It’s almost like being able to see in the dark. We’ll be able to see mistakes without seeing them, using caution guided by something intangible, and finish projects while lost in concentrated thought that feels like time warps.

Venus will also conjunct Neptune on the 23rd, also in Pisces. This can be a highly creative time. Channel this energy into any art form; Fantasy, film, painting or other forms of design are highly favoured. However, anything that taps into your muse is also good. It doesn’t need to be the traditional forms of creativity. You could find it while cleaning!

By February 25th, the Sun will sextile Saturn and will draw the light from above to join with the grounded energy of mother earth to help us plan, organize and focus our concentration on developing our vision. We have a nice blend of mystical with discipline. This is also a great time to develop our ability meditate, connect with the divine or practice our ability to bend time.

Trusting Our Gut

What to expect: Being frazzled
What to watch out for: Ignoring intuition
What will it affect? Work, money, thinking, intuition

On February 25th, Mars and Vesta will meet up in a conjunction and the two will square Venus. Things will be off in terms of work. The problem is not that we won’t feel motivated to get things done. We will and we’ll feel highly passionate about it, but the energy is gangly. We’re likely to be distracted, inattentive and maybe even careless. Mars conjunct Vesta is also said to start a new cycle in the stock market. Watch your investments! With Venus squaring Vesta we’ll feel a conflict between what we value (including what we value in terms of how we spend our money) and our passions. This conflict may have lead us into inaction or alternatively, combined with the other energy, scattered action.

On the same day, Mercury will meet up with Neptune in a conjunction and will sextile Pallas. The energy is great for writing and expressing a vision, but not necessarily for decision making-it’s too vague. To be able to tap into trusted information we’ll need to connect with our intuition. The question is, do you trust your knowing? Neptune will sextile Pallas, which will give some additional balanced information from the cosmos; but Pallas is also in a square to the North Node, so the information we get may be a huge departure from what we know or might expect.

The combined energy of the day, however, will leave many of us kicking ourselves that we didn’t listen to our intuition.

Devil in the Details

What to expect: Goals, visions and passions
What to watch out for: Falsehoods and fears
What will it affect? Money, relationships, passions and visions

This week is Fat Tuesday, Valentine’s Day and the Solar Eclipse.

The week starts with Sun and Juno in Aquarius making a sextile to Uranus. We are being asked to implement changes and new processes in the structure of our partnerships and our finances. Juno will be strong in this week’s energy. Venus rules relationships and money, but so does Juno. In fact, one of the epithets of Juno is Juno Moneta. She is the protector of money and finances. She asks, how can we make needed changes in a guided and protected manner?

Mercury will square Jupiter helping us to see the big picture. But the devil is in the details, so please do not overlook them when making your grand plans. At this time, we are likely to Photoshop out the ugly parts in our vision, which can end up being costly. The good part of this energy aspect is that Mercury is in Aquarius and can help us envision the future. And with a square to Jupiter in Scorpio, we’ll have a fair amount of skepticism. Should we listen to this deep inner wisdom? We’ll be forewarned, so the thing to watch for is overconfidence and flawed judgment.

Added to this is the fact that Neptune will square Vesta. We may seek to escape in the ideals of our passions. It’s not that there is anything wrong with our passions. For example, many of us have been envisioning a rising feminine world where the masculine is not necessarily toppled, but balanced instead. Okay, I’ll admit it, that’s my vision with Clan Mother Worldwide. But even good and positive visions can have their blind spots. Now is not the time to get lost in the passion of vision and purpose without acknowledging the downfalls. There does exist a dark feminine and a dark spirituality. Keeping blinders on about that or any other dark sides to our passions is a danger this week. Be honest with yourself. What are the possible deceptions and disillusionment? How do you ensure that you are not being myopic? How do you ensure you are being passionate but not fanatical?

Lastly, Pallas will square Ceres. If we want to bring our goals, visions, and passions into reality we are likely going to need to remove a lot of fear. We’ve been doing it, but this is one more test to challenge those false beliefs conditioned by our childhood or lineage. This is your parent who never went to university questioning why you would ever want to go to school. It’s your Mom who just wants the best for you, raining a downer parade on your entrepreneurial visions. It may even be your own inner voice asking you to “dumb it down” or not to get “too big for your britches.” Now is the time to challenge those thoughts and to give yourself a little leveled-up re-parenting.

New Moon Aquarius Solar Eclipse

What to expect: Innovative ideas for survival
What to watch out for: Imbalances
What will it affect? Ideas, innovations, money, relationships, partnerships

The Solar Eclipse on Feb 15th is in Aquarius. The Sabian symbol for the eclipse is “a tree felled and sawed to ensure a supply of wood for the winter.” I don’t know about you, but I love the ingenuity, hard work, connection and respect for nature that can sometimes go into finding ways to survive. You become intimate with this kind of intelligence when you live in remote areas and tend to lose it in the big city. The eclipse will help us to combine these kinds of survival skills with intelligence and the Aquarius notion of innovation to brainstorm ideas for our continuity. We are moving into very different times. Change is coming and so we are asked to dig deep, pay attention to even seemly hare-brained ideas and project what may be needed for our continued existence. The possibility exists for a quantum leap. Right beside the Sun and Moon at this eclipse are Juno and Mercury. As this is an air sign eclipse, its connection with mercury makes it even more cerebral, but the moon will block out the Sun at least partially and will help us to connect with our ideas on an emotional level. This is important, because it’s the head and the heart connection that makes things happen. There will be lots of chatting, writing, and discussion about our ideas, but it’s that little spark of emotions that adds the special sauce showing us how we can work together to make our ideas happen.

Aquarius is charitable and concerned with humanity, but with Juno there, it’s also concerned with our business dealings. Juno is the marriage asteroid; let’s face it, marriage is the ultimate business arrangement. Juno and Mercury together help us to discuss the likely outlay of expenditures. She helps us to cost things out not just in terms of the finances, but also the cost of balancing power and recognizing (or not) women’s rights in contractual relationships. Ultimately her influence while in Aquarius is to seeks out equality, fairness, and friendship.

Venus now in Pisces will also sextile Saturn lending some practical magic to this time. Venus is dreamy, spiritual and magnetic in Pisces and gets a dose of grounding with Saturn. As you look at the structures of your partnerships, accounting, budgeting or other financial systems these two will help you to ground your visions for how you want them to become. Once you’ve established your vision, sense how it will feel in your etheric body. Then feel it concretely in your body. Sense that what you have envisioned has already happened. Now that it’s already happened, you can declare it with the proclamation “So it is!” Now, wait for it to show up! This is the formula for practical magic combined with a super-powered manifesting eclipse moon!

Tricky Communication

What to expect: Unclear communication
What to watch out for: Deceit, laziness
What will it affect? Communication, employees, motivation

Mercury enters Pisces on Feb 17th and thinking and communication become vague. Now is a better time to connect with messages on an intuitive level. Messages may be hard to grasp or hard to explain. To add to this issue, Mars now in Sagittarius will square Pisces. This is red flag energy for business. Mars rule motivation, ambition, and also rules employees, so problems can arise with staff. Motivation can plummet and attention to detail can wane. There’s also a propensity for deceit. There is a saving grace. Mars will trine the North Node, so if things do go south, it’s likely because that’s part of the plan. To add flammable oil to the fire, the Sun will also move into Pisces on the 19th making us become more sensitive and suggestible. Use the energy of this time to open to divine guidance, but make sure while you’re doing so, you also check for misinformation or missed information.
