Astrologically Speaking
. . . with Ananur
(mountain time zone calculated)
Mercury is still retrograde in Pisces. This began on February 23. There’s an attraction to hibernation, which would be the ideal with Mercury retrograde: to be able to dream and fantasize, then come out of it when Mercury goes direct on March 17 and write a novel or a book of fanciful short stories. However, we live in a world where we’re drawn out to participate, and pay the bills. Speaking of paying the bills, Jupiter will be in a difficult aspect with Saturn from March 18-27. This aspect took place in December 2012. Jupiter also aspects Pluto, another challenging aspect which will also affect us financially. March 23- April. The best advice is to be thrifty in new ways you hadn’t discovered before. It’s creative. March 1 starts off just fine with the Sun in a positive aspect to Saturn and Pluto. This is an incredible offering from the cosmos for all of us to organize and plan out a strategy for health, security and stability. The planets are helping us. If you have a spiritual discipline that you are embracing daily . . . keep it up. Anyone who was born between July 2-4 (with Sun in Cancer) of any year will surely benefit most profoundly at this time. If your physical body needs support and healing, you will indeed find the comfort you’re seeking. March 2-3 Venus is awkwardly aspecting Uranus bringing out the need for self expression through art or performing with others in a spontaneous way. March 3-4 Venus is awkwardly aspecting Jupiter which is a perfect time for a party or social event, just be careful not to over indulge. The Sun and Mercury are close together in Pisces focusing your mind on the past and what might have been if you had chosen differently. March 4-7 Mercury and Venus are close together in Pisces and are nicely aspecting Saturn and Pluto. Transformative energies are released through creativity. Writing a unique type of healing/natural/ herbal cookbook would be one way of manifesting this energy. Cooking with healing herbs for those in need of your nurturing care would benefit others. They’ll feel the love that you’re putting into it.
With many planets in Pisces right now there is a call for help. The planets in Pisces are: the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Chiron and Neptune. If you ever wanted to learn to transmit healing energy this is the time to do so. March 7-9 it’s likely that you’re trying to do too much with Mercury and Jupiter in a challenging aspect. You might be so flexible that you are a bit too relaxed about meeting someone when you said you would. That person may still be there waiting for you; meanwhile you’ve bumped into someone you haven’t seen in ages and you’ve forgotten all about the other person, waiting. March 11 the New Moon will take place at 1:51pm with the Sun and Moon at 21° of Pisces. This New Moon brings out passion for group gatherings with a spiritual philosophical foundation of camaraderie. The month ahead will find you drawn to finding answers to deep philosophical questions about life and the universe. New discoveries will present themselves in the media in the next 29 days. Also, Mercury is in a positive aspect with Uranus, stimulating your intuition. March 12 Mars enters Aries, where Mars is at home. With Mars in Aries our physical energy is increased, greatly. The trick with this position of Mars is to know when to stop. There’s the risk of overdoing it because you have so much energy and eventually end up exhausted. Mars will remain in Aries until April 20. The Moon will be in Aries and conjunct Mars today from 1:304:30am which suggests a huge blast of energy. Wonder if you can sleep? March 15 the Sun is in a challenging aspect with Saturn, known to promote worrisome thoughts. It’s likely that you are experiencing obstacles and delays that are finding you frustrated. With Mars in Aries you’re more impatient than usual. Fortunately Mars is making a positive aspect to Neptune which encourages you to give more to help others and put thoughts of self aside. March 17 Mercury will be turning direct at 2:03pm. Sometimes it takes a few more days for the obstacles and delays to quit acting up. It’s important to have balance between action and repose. Hopefully
you’ve had insights and are ready to incorporate them into your life. March 18-27 Jupiter is in an awkward aspect with Saturn which is not good for the economy. This aspect also took place in December. I remember it well as being a worrisome time economically, something about falling off the fiscal cliff which we almost did. March 18 Venus is awkwardly aspecting Saturn which is known to bring about disappointments. This is due to “attachment to outcome.” March 18-19 Mercury is in a favorable aspect with Mars. Speak out and share your ideas and insights. Your mind is sped up. March 20 the Sun enters Aries, which is considered by some to be the beginning of the year. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, always ready to begin new projects. There’s no holding back enthusiasm for brilliant new ideas and innovations. The Sun will enter Aries at 5:02am. March 20-22 Mars is now conjunct Uranus in Aries. If you love to drive fast, go to the track, but stay off the road with that passion. This aspect could be incredibly potent for new inventions and new directions. It also signifies a time to be careful in order to avoid accidents as this energy is so fast and so impulsive. Please be aware and put full attention into the moment you’re in. Mars and Uranus bring out the rebellious side in human being. Free thinking individualists who refuse to conform may perhaps have a clearer vision, but because of a demanding reckless approach perhaps are not appreciated for the brilliant insight they carry. This aspect could have a profound affect on Egypt. Maybe the Occupy Movement will be more visible again. I know for a fact the movement has not died out. I’ve done research on the internet. March 21 Venus enters Aries. This placement of the planet of romantic love and attraction finds individuals falling madly in love, for a day, or a week, with much passion and playfulness. March 22-24 the Sun is nicely aspecting Neptune, a spiritually uplifting time which could produce some incredible works of art, poetry and music. March 23-April 2 Jupiter will be in a challenging aspect now with Pluto. This aspect affects our economy due to religious differences. The law will have to step in to find a balance rather than the overpowering sense of “might is right” with religious leaders demanding that things go their way. March 24 Venus is in a posi-
tive aspect with Neptune inspiring telepathic synchronistic experiences to occur which are enriching and find you smiling. Your innate inner passion and joy are inspiring your actions. March 24-26 Mars in Aries is in a fine aspect with Jupiter and Pluto offering us all a huge jolt of enthusiasm and physical energy and motivation. Just be careful not to get too fanatical about “being right.” March 25 Mercury is nicely aspecting Uranus nudging you to trust intuition and not accept everything you hear. Question. Mars is awkwardly aspecting Saturn bringing its usual frustration with slow speed when you’re ready to make things happen, fast. Make sure that you have good music in the car in case you get stuck in a traffic jam. March 26-29 Mercury is aspecting 3 planets! Mercury is now in aspect with Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto. Anyone who loves to write will benefit from taking time out now to utilize this spark of brilliance being offered to us cosmically. Your mind is open and eager to learn and understand and integrate knowledge into your life. The Sun and Venus are conjunct Uranus in Aries. A new trend in art and fashion will take place. We’re moving into a new phase of artistic expression, something we haven’t seen before. March 27 the Full Moon takes place at 3:28am with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries close to Uranus. This Full Moon is aspecting Pluto. Fasten your seats belts for this one! We may be hearing more news from Egypt at this point—they are still focused on creating a democratic society there. More revolution? Could be. Notice how you feel—it might be similar to wanting to turn things upside down and finding a better way that hasn’t been tried before. March 29-31 the Sun and Venus are aspecting Saturn and Pluto. Can you forgive yourself for past relations when you didn’t have clarity about your needs and priorities? This is a time for moving forward in love without guilt or past experiences getting in the way of really seeing the other person, as they are. March 30 the Sun and Venus are in a challenging aspect with Saturn. Try not to be self-critical—it could block the flow of creativity. Ananur Forma lived in Crestone from 1996-2003.
