MARCH 2024
RUNE OF THE MONTH: Kenaz “torch”. A month during which the light symbolically goes on. Shining our radiance into the world, receiving new, exciting information, having great ideas, and concretely following up on them mark this month. We are however advised to make sure we complete a project before starting a new one. We are required to share what we have learned, remain flexible, and be receptive to all the ways others can help us manifest our visions.

Second month with NO retrograde planet! More than rare!
Lunar Eclipse in Libra (5º07’) on Monday 3/25 at 12:00 AM which will be followed by a Solar Eclipse in Aries (19º24’) on Monday April 8 at 11:21 AM. Eclipses always mark turning points in our lives, the effects of which last up to 19 years. This eclipse is symbolized by “A man watches his ideals taking a concrete form before his inner vision”. Irritability or nervous tension, a lack of clarity on our own identity, the need to escape reality through creativity or an addictive behavior reveal where we need to make adjustments and slow down. We may feel a little confused, fall prey to idealizing very flawed people, and unrealistically wish to be one with the universe. This eclipse encourages us to understand what motivates others, as well as ourselves, and recognize our own spiritual potential by bringing out our powers of manifestation. The peace, harmony, and balance we seek, we can create by focusing our thoughts on what we want versus what we don’t. Let us remember the Indian saying: “Man is a creature of reflection. He becomes that upon which he reflects”.

This month’s intentional meditation started on Saturday 2/24 when we took out as many blank sheets of paper as we had intentions and place them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they basked in the light of the Full Moon in Virgo at exactly 4:30 AM. Once that moment passed, we gathered our Full Moon charged blank sheets and placed them in a folder.
On Sunday 3/10, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 1:00 AM for the New Moon in Pisces. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….
Next month’s intentional meditation starts on Monday 3/25 with the Full Moon in Libra (Lunar Eclipse) at exactly 12:00 AM.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Friday 3/1: Sun Sextile Jupiter (4:41 AM)
We are presented with opportunities to advance our career. Contacts with people in position of authority help us further our dreams. The more honest and loyal we are, the more “lucky” this day proves to be. Even if it is normally above our means, today, we can afford an item we want.
Sunday 3/3: Venus Square Uranus (5:17 AM)
Our social life could be both exciting and unusual. We should however keep a positive level of self-control if we don’t want to estrange those close and dear to us. Erratic behavior, or rash decisions, could lead to a sudden, unexpected breakup we would later regret. We could find ourselves on a financial roller coaster ride.
Monday 3/4: Mercury Sextile Uranus (12:24 PM)
Interesting ideas, sudden flashes of intuition, eccentric acquaintances, and new, unusual information mark this day which proves a little unstable. The more flexible and present to the present we are, the more exciting this day can be.
Friday 3/8: Mercury Conjunct Neptune (7:06 AM)
Not a day to sign contracts or make binding decisions as we could overlook important details and miss the fine print. This transit however is perfect for creating art, listening to music, meditating, and dreaming in general. Our compassion and sensitivity are enhanced, as are our psychic abilities.
Saturday 3/9: Mars Square Uranus (2:55 PM), Sun Sextile Uranus (3:01 PM), Mercury enters Aries (8:03 PM) till May 15
During the next 9 weeks, we are direct and spontaneous in our thinking and our personal expression. Our courage, positivity, enthusiasm, and leadership abilities come to the forefront, enhancing our pioneering spirit. Today, more specifically, sudden changes of plans, and unexpected, dynamic new actions create a lot of excitement yet require much flexibility and presence to the present as well as some control. We need to be extra careful on the road as our nervous reactions could quickly get out of hand.
Sunday 3/10: Mercury Sextile Pluto (3:21 PM)
A day to seek cooperation, compromise, and communication. We are advised to keep strong opinions to ourselves and avoid forcing issues. To achieve our goals, it is recommended that we lie low, go with the flow, and make sure that our decisions benefit all involved.
Monday 3/11: Venus enters Pisces (2:50 PM) till April 4
During the next 3 weeks, our sensitivity, compassion, and desire to help those less favored than ourselves are enhanced. Prone to daydreaming, we could wish for an ideal love, fall in love with the idea of romance, and selflessly sacrifice ourselves for another. Artists are favored, especially actors, painters, and musicians. Money matters are likely to be elusive.
Sunday 3/17: Sun Conjunct Neptune (4:22 AM)
Conditions in our life could prove unrealistic or unsure. There is a danger of falling prey to someone who misrepresents a situation, is fake, or a downright fraud. Prone to daydreaming, we tend to float in a world of our own making. Best to watch a nice movie, read an inspiring book, and rest.
Tuesday 3/19: the Sun enters Aries (8:06 PM) till April 19
A dynamic revival of energy marks the next 4 weeks. We forge ahead with renewed enthusiasm, courage, and drive, are full of exciting ideas and ready to launch pioneering projects. A wonderful time for new beginnings in every area of our life.
Thursday 3/21: Sun Sextile Pluto (1:03 PM), Venus Conjunct Saturn (4:09 PM)
A day to assert our authority without forcing issues. Holding our ground with consideration for the needs of others gains us the respect we seek. Our relationships are tested, needing to be reevaluated with honesty and realism. While a good romantic connection becomes stronger, we may have to face that one that has been shaky for a while, needs to come to an end.
Friday 3/22: Mars enters Pisces (4:47 PM) till April 30th
During the next 6 weeks, we assert ourselves with great sensitivity and compassion. We could be drawn to volunteering in a homeless shelter, working in a hospital, prison, or retreat center, or helping distressed animals. Our energy level is lower than usual. We are more prone to daydreaming than being physically active. Artists are favored.
Sunday 3/24: Venus Sextile Jupiter (9:37 AM)
Warmth, serenity, patience, and optimism permeate this day. A social, artistic, or cultural event is fun. Tolerance helps us clear prior disagreements. We are offered gifts or favors. Our financial affairs prosper.
Thursday 3/28: Venus Sextile Uranus (6:58 AM)
A day of stimulating changes in our social life. We meet interesting people, make new friends, and with grace and discretion, enjoy unusual exchanges with others. A romance blending friendship and love is light and fun. An unexpected financial surprise is freeing. An innovative idea could prove lucrative.
Wishing you a magical month of March!
In Loving Light.
