Cycle Changes March 2005
Cycle Changes — Forward?
Backward! Forward!
— March 28, 2005
Hello Everyone! Today's Wisdom Teaching includes all of the many cycle changes that have happened in this past week.
Saturday, March 19 – Tuesday, April 12
Mercury Goes Retrograde 14 degrees Aries backward to 2 degrees Aries
Anytime Mercury goes Retrograde, think, "It is time to reorganize!" I know… I know…..nobody wants to redo or rethink anything! Or for that matter, ever go back over something that has felt complete. But, these three weeks are about recognizing something that might need revisited.
Depending on where Mercury is transiting in your natal horoscope, this could be anywhere from home, health, career, or even relationship. Because Mercury has to do with the mind and communication, this could include breakdowns or adjustments with communication devices such as computers, telephones, or any machine (cars included). The breakdowns can also be unexpected. Mercury doesn't make these things happen, it is just associated with communication, and when it goes retrograde, we need to "recommunicate." Let's face it; life is sometimes about "going back over" something. That is what these three weeks are focused on. So, keep "open-minded" whenever Mercury goes Retrograde!!!!
Vernal Equinox "1st Day of Spring!"
Sunday, March 20!
Ahhhh! Spring is here! I awake to the birds singing and the warmth of the Sun! In Astrology, the first day of Spring coincides with the Sun moving into the Astrological Sign Aries. Each Cardinal sign "leads us into a season." (Cancer into Summer, Libra into Fall, Capricorn into Winter). Spring is the time for significant changes! Coupled with the Mercury Retrograde cycle, it is time to dust off the shelves and prepare and reorganize for Spring.
Saturn Is Now Direct! 20 degrees Cancer
Monday, March 21
Saturn went retrograde on November 7, 2004, and is now moving forward again. This is probably one of the most significant cycle changes because Saturn will move entirely out of the Sign of Cancer on July 16, 2005. The most significant change with this is collectively; we will be moving away from the things we identify as security and toward identifying the things that bring us joy. Creativity, entertainment, children, and fun will be the underlying theme with Saturn in Leo for the next 2 1/2 years! (I will write future teaching on Saturn in Leo to explain this in more detail.) For now, finish identifying your security and home issues and prepare for a new two-year cycle of Saturn in Leo. This significant change will unfold slowly over the next 2 1/2 years. (Note: Interest Rates are sure to rise now because Saturn is moving out of Cancer (a water sign) and moving into Leo (a Fire sign).)
Full Moon in Libra
Friday, March 25
The Full Moon this past Friday was in the sign of Libra and suggests that attention to balance, relationship, and equality are high for us these next two weeks. The past New Moon (March 9 in Pisces) began a cycle focused on feelings, compassion, and the need to deal with making your feelings real. The Full Moon completes the cycle in Libra by helping you to understand that what we may "feel" on the inside isn't always mirrored by those we are in a relationship with. In this relationship area, we will always need to negotiate our needs and feelings with others. That is what this full moon is about: relationship balance. Those with whom we are in a relationship may not feel or need the same things we feel or want. In this area, we may need to change and come to a fuller understanding.
Upcoming Cycle Change!
Finally, Pluto will be Retrograde this Saturday, March 26, at 6:28 PM PST.
Pluto is moving through an area of your horoscope, and as it moves forward, it will be time for you to move ahead with transformation and change in that area. I will have a teaching on that next week. Until then, thank you for all your support and love!
Warmly,
Amber
