March 2019 is full of beautiful changes as we complete big cycles and set new, more expansive intentions (if btw, you missed the February Energy Forecast, it’s here). We’re going to be deeply and positively affected by the idealistic Piscean energy of the new moon that takes place at 8:03 am Pacific on the 6th,…

There will also be two very auspicious moons (both new and full) and a big opportunity to channel some powerful Aquarian, new thought inspiration and ideas onto our beautiful planet. Two buzz words for February are: possibilities and boundaries and they influence each other in interesting ways.

On January 5, we’re going to experience a partial solar eclipse at 15° Capricorn — the earthy leader-doer. Think of an eclipse as a sort of reboot — like when your computer is being funky, you close it down and power it back up — and suddenly, it’s more efficient.

Open your heart this year and embrace your connection with everyone and you’ll create the perfect communal balance for the more self-oriented energy of the solar plexus. Plus, when you involve others in what you’re doing, it’s easier, more enriching and turns out better because “teamwork makes the dream work.”

Ahhhhhh, the ironies of life. I just got finished chatting with a support person at my web host company because I couldn’t get into my site to post this. Blessed Mercury Retrograde. He comes around every few months to humble us and help us develop patience (and he’s here now from Dec 19 – Jan 8

Even with the darkness coming out in the world, from Orlando, the political scene and beyond, this is a cycle of light in all of its purity. Monday’s full moon, the second in Sagittarius, sign of expansion and blessings, is aligned with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year in the Western hemisphere. The full moon is the climax of the lunar month, the summer solstice is the climax of the solar year. Both the moon and sun reach climax together in a potent and powerful union of fire. Fire is the transforming quality of spirit. It is a manifestation of light, giving us warmth, clarity, illumination. But lots of light is not just about the “good side.” Purity is not always innocent.

When the moon enters Gemini, we become aware of the duality within. The ways we try to control our freedom, the way we try to organize our thoughts. Gemini is fast — dare I say the swiftest of all twelve signs? Ruled by Mercury, she is like quick silver. She can make the mind race with opposing thoughts, she might over schedule, over socialize and overwhelm the earthier signs. She is a social butterfly, a spring hummingbird, eager to soak up everyone and everything she can. This is the sign of the shift from spring to summer. This is the cycle common to travel, parties and shaking up our seemingly boring regular lives in the desire for something different. Gemini gets bored fast. When she is bored, she gets dangerous: she makes up stories, gossips, lives in fantasy. Unlike her air siblings, Aquarius, the higher mind, or Libra the aligned mind, Gemini is the mutable thought process. She can get us out of mental trouble or push us deeper into it.

The Taurus solar cycle is moving to a close, but the lunar cycle is in full swing. Still, with all the retrograded action this month, loving ourselves, even and especially amidst challenges, is the best medicine to stay grounded and present.

This entire month, the climax of spring, is ruled by Taurus. The sun entered the Earth Goddess vibe a few weeks ago, and on Friday May 8th, the moon joins in. Taurus is a fixed sign, because she holds the power of the current season. She is deep earth, like ancient tree roots, and her worship is one of the senses. She is the reason for mantras like, “stop and smell the roses,” and Taurus asks us to pause in the busy-ness between spring and summer to enjoy the delights that abound. Wildness is on my mind, it is stirring in my soul and my body, and is eager to play. After all, it is Beltane, and I have always associated this ritual with naked pagans running around the fire, making love in the grass, laughing and singing. This does occur at many a Beltane gathering, and may it continue every year! But the truth is, wildness is not always what we think it is.

Thursday’s full moon is considered “lunar Beltane” by those that celebrate the wheel of the year. Beltane is the mid point between spring equinox and summer solstice. It is a juicy, fertile, delicious moment. It is also ripe for revelation, became we are so open to receive. Just because it is Scorpio does not mean what is revealed has to “bad.” Scorpio can just as easily show us how to better live in truth or how to step into our power. We might be surprised how much we repress our hopes, as well as our fears.
