The celestial week of March 18, 2024, begins with the Sun rising in prophetic Pisces illuminating an opportunity to take a single vision and turn it into many individual streams along with the ability to weather storms with faith and a desire to better oneself through the process.

As the Sun has almost reached the end of its journey through Pisces, it is an opportune time to reflect on the intentions of the past year to determine their current status, or if it is time to release them to a Higher Power to bring them to manifestation.   If they have not produced the desired outcome, then carry them into the new solar year on the horizon.  They may need additional time or attention.  As the idiomatic expression says, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater”.

Meanwhile, the Moon is moving through emotionally sensitive Cancer reflecting a need to trust with courage that one’s inner wisdom is in touch with a higher truth.  Fortunately, the Moon in Cancer is currently supported by Venus, Saturn, Neptun, and the Sun in Pisces to emotionally value the commitment, vision, and purpose of that inner wisdom, with the faith to follow the direction given with actions that feel right with a knowing that they are right.

Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus also provide opportunities to change a course of action based on the appropriate values relative to the investment of financial resources. or unexpectedly pull the plug on projects if it doesn’t feel that the time is right.

Trust that inner guidance will be vital in making big decisions during the next few weeks as Mercury moves into the shadow of the upcoming retrograde cycle before the day ends.  The first shadow of the cycle is a preview of what the retrograde cycle will be about. Significant areas that get your attention during the preview may have to be reviewed or redone maybe related to travel, vehicles, schedules, and maintaining a cool head when tempers rise without warning!

As Mercury travels quickly through impatient Aries there may be a tendency to make impulsive choices without considering the long-term consequences.  Fortunately, Mars the CEO ruling planet of Aries is currently in innovative Aquarius, so trusting that you know what you know without knowing how you know it, will provide valuable guidance until March 22, when Mars drifts into elusive Pisces!

The lunar climate shifts dramatically on the afternoon of March 19, as the Moon strides into powerful Leo with an unconscious, demanding attitude for emotional attention.  The caveat is that Venus, Saturn, Neptune, and the Sun in Pisces are unaware that the Moon or anything else exists if it is not on their radar.  While Mars and Pluto in Aquarius could care less about emotional drama, and Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus are focused on values, career opportunities, financial investments, and how unpredictable changes could affect the future.  Thus, the Moon in Leo is left to entertain itself and use emotional energy for creative projects and purposes.

Before the day ends, the Sun marches into fiery Aries announcing the Spring Equinox and the new solar year!  Thus, solar energy has shifted from choosing seeds of intentions to planting them with actions of intuitive knowing, as Mars the planetary supervisor of Aries is finishing up an unpredictable journey through enlightening Aquarius!  The caveat is that Mars will spend most of the next forty-five days in Pisces. and may dilute the power of intentions with unconscious doubts, or strengthen them with an unwavering faith!

Shortly after lunch on March 20, Mercury and Chiron unite in spontaneous Aires with a new beginning to heal wounds of abandonment, rejection, or shame with an “enough is enough” attitude and empowering self-motivating actions that leave no doubt about the future of independent freedom!

On the evening of March 21, Venus and Saturn tie the knot in vision-oriented Pisces with a commitment that can stand the test of time relative to romance and creative artistic pursuits in music, painting, writing, and spirituality that can become a career path.  Thus, now is the time to plant the seeds that will produce a harvest during the next thirty years!

In the early hours of March 22, the Moon treads into meticulous Virgo with a conscious mindset to harness emotional energy to work through an unforeseen desire to utilize personal power for empowering enlightenment.  However, as the Moon is in a yod formation with Pluto in Aquarius and the Sun in Aries, it may feel more frustrating than enlightening..  The key is to go with the flow, instead of over-analyzing where the flow is going!

An interesting shift in energy occurs on the evening of March 22, as the fiery nature of Mars takes a six-week hiatus in oceanic Pisces.  The caveat is that Mars is action-oriented energy, while Pisces tends to be passive but powerful.  So when fire meets water, the energy can become passive-aggressive like a pressure cooker, which does not favor taking action in an action-oriented environment denoted by the Sun, Mercury, and Chiron in Aries.  

Thus, it would be wise to temper impulsiveness with the patience to wait for a favorable time to move forward.

Cosmic Insights – February 25, 2024 February 25, 2024

By Veronica G. Hartman

The cosmic week of February 25, 2024, begins with the Sun rising in mystical Pisces illuminating an opportunity to transcend what appears to be lost or forsaken with a renewed dedication of faith and positive outcomes of hope and recovery.  

Jupiter the daily navigator of Pisces is currently sailing through earthy Taurus with simple desires to nurture and fertilize creative values by breathing in inspiration to offset creating reality with incongruent thoughts and communication.

Whereas, Saturn and Neptune are also in Pisces supporting the process of creation with a commitment to sail through difficulties by making the most of what is possible to pursue potential dreams into reality.

Meanwhile, the Moon is moving through the conscious realms of Virgo to discern whether information received from emotional feelings is personal or those of others.  While it may seem contradictory to feel the emotions of others, it is the basis of psychic ability, and often confusing to make the distinction of whether is it real or Memorex.  The key is to trust the initial guidance received from within, without overanalyzing it.

On the morning of February 26, emotional clarity of feelings becomes obvious as the Moon glides into the airy realms of Libra with an opportunity to remove the blindfold of emotions in relationships with others to reestablish an emotional balance within oneself.

As a result, the power to transform the emotional quality of one’s life is possible as Pluto in Aquarius paves the way for emotional freedom and independence in relationships.  The caveat is that the Moon’s nebulous interaction with the Sun, Mercury, and Saturn in Pisces may run counter to personal emotional enlightenment as the psychic network of emotional broadcasting unconsciously receives information and emotions that may overwhelm intuitive guidance for a new direction in life.  The Moon in Libra is also likely experiencing attitude adjustments from Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus about financial obligations in relationships based on guilt or lack.  The key is to discern whether the values are yours or projections from others, and to either own them or return them to the sender!

In the early hours of February 27, Mars in Aquarius squares off with Jupiter in Taurus with a need to get away from it all to reassess the goals and purpose of life, as well as the actions required to obtain them with a responsible commitment to oneself.  The challenge lies in the resistance of Jupiter in Taurus to relinquish the perceived control that it is possible to restrain Mars in Aquarius from moving forward without permission.  

The key to handling the challenge lies in dissolving the differences by letting go of individual resistance to allowing personal limitations to control outcomes instead of projecting them onto others.

In the early hours of February 28, Mercury and the Sun unite in spiritual Pisces with a new opportunity to receive unconscious information consciously through feelings to sail through personal difficulties with an elevated perspective through dreams, meditation, symbols, art, music, and hypnosis.

Later in the afternoon, the Sun joins Saturn in Pisces to illuminate the blessings of relating to life circumstances with the faith and awareness of guidance from a Higher Power to steer your life in the right direction of its ultimate destination with a responsible commitment of choices on your part.

Before the day ends, the Moon silently slips into the subconscious emotional swamps of Scorpio to contemplate deep feelings about life, death, and everything in between.  As the Moon submerges itself into seclusion, Pluto in Aquarius may challenge that seclusion as being an opportunity to evoke an emotional transformation with detached observations.  The caveat is that when the Moon is silent in Scorpio, it is unwise to poke the bear unless you are prepared for an emotional dam of fury that may be released without warning! 

Fortunately, on the afternoon of February 29, the energy of Saturn, Mercury, and the Sun in Pisces offers a leap of emotional faith to release negative emotions that subconsciously inhibit or sabotage a wholistic life!

Cosmic Insights – February 19, 2024 February 19, 2024

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of February 19, 2024 begins with the Sun rising in etheric, spiritual Pisces, illuminating an opportunity of realization that whatever is needed is available through faith.  Interesting that faith in and of itself has a nebulous quality, in that it isn’t seen, but instead felt and believed in through experience.

As the Sun rises in Pisces, it is a reminder of faith that is often unconsciously taken for granted.  While we may pause to appreciate the vibrant hues painted by the Creator across the vast sky, do we really ponder with faith that the sun will rise every day as a symbol of faith that another day is given to live?

Pisces energy is also similar to the fathomless oceanic waves that sweep in and wash the beaches clean of sandcastles and debris, leaving a clear slate for new creations, or violently bring destruction that knows no bounds when it couples with forceful winds.  Thus, there is a peace that passeth all understanding with Pisces or a shattering of peace without warning.

As the ocean tides are governed by the energy of the Moon, Pisces has a strong affinity with emotions, habits, and addictive behaviors, as an escapism from dealing with emotional overwhelm.  Therefore, the next thirty days will be a guide to determine whether your emotions are unconsciously are in charge of your life choices and behaviors, or if you are in charge of your emotions.

In light of the current relationship between the Sun drifting through Pisces and the Moon wading the the emotional pond of Cancer, the next couple of days are significant to make that determination.   The caveat is that both lend themselves to heightened emotional sensitivity, so it may be easier to become triggered by unintentional reactions or responses of others.  The key is to take a step back and remember that something only becomes personal when it is perceived as being personal.  Usually it isn’t, it just feels that way.

Fortunately, the daily CEO of Pisces is Jupiter and is moving through Taurus with a calm and steady energy that can serve as a buffer of compassionate caring and understanding, as a soothing balm to weather unpredictable emotional upsets and storms.

However, the planetary ;ruler of Taurus is Venus moving through unpredictable  Aquarius with an emotional detachment as it has joined Mars, Mercury, and Pluto with an unlikely awareness that it has pushed vulnerable buttons with objective observations about values, actions, information, and powerful transformations with an expressed attitude of indifference.  Just batten down the emotional hatches and keep moving through the impending storms to glean the insights provided without emotional attachment.

In the early hours of February 20, the lunar phase become gibbous as it intensifies the emotional wobble of vulnerable feelings surfacing from insecurity about whether the intentions chosen at the recent new moon cycle in Aquarius will bear fruit or dissolve in the midst of emotional uncertainty.  However, the energy of the gibbous phase is an opportunity for a course correction of action with a revision of the intention to reach its goal and destination.

Shortly after sunrise on February 21, the Moon sweeps into the glorious rays of Leo with the pomp and circumstance of demanding attention to emotional needs which feels have been neglected!  The caveat is that with Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Pluto in indifferent Aquarius, the Sun, Saturn, and Neptune in oblivious Pisces, and remaining Jupiter and Uranus in grounded Taurus, the Moon is on its own to meet its emotional needs for attention for the next couple of days!  Thus, it is wise to utilize that emotional craving for acknowledgement in a creative pursuit instead of indulging in a drama-trauma that no one notices!

In the early hours of February 22, Venus and Mars unite in eclectic Aquarius with an opportunity  to impulsively birth a whole new creative original idea into fruition!  The caveat is that the energy of creation is very impressionable now so it is important to set forth a course of action with congruent values, without sharing it with others until the idea has taken form, so that unnecessary discouragement does not ride along with the creation.  

In the early hours of February 23, Mercury leaves intuitive Aquarius for a visit in artistic Pisces as it joins the Sun, Saturn, and Neptune to receive information in dreams, meditation, symbols, spiritual guidance, and whatever else the universe is using to get your attention in what you are unconsciously creating with thoughts and words, so you can do it consciously!  The broad strokes of Mercury in Pisces during the next few weeks to use your life as a blank canvas to paint the desires of it into manifestation!  Now is the time to write, paint, vision, imagine, and dream your wildest dreams into creation with faith, without outlining the details, as there is a higher Power taking care of that!

Later in the evening, the Moon moves quickly into studious Virgo with a million ideas running simultaneously about future plans and projects, that may prompt a feeling or a need for seclusion to sort out priorities.  Otherwise, there maybe an initial feeling of anticipation followed by confusion and ultimately overwhelm as three planets in Aquarius and four in Pisces vie for emotional attention. 

Thus, maybe, a practical solution lies in bringing emotional order to chaos with a list of priorities and a step by step plan of action and delegation until the emotional stress dissolves with a relaxed focus and clarity.

Yet, perhaps the most important realization for the Moon in Virgo currently governed by Mercury is Pisces is to make know the unknown, or in the words attributed to Carl Jung, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct  your life and you call it fate.”  (1)

Cosmic Insights – February 4, 2024 February 4, 2024

By Veronica G. Hartman

The celestial week of February 4, 2024, begins with the Sun rising up through the frosty rays of Aquarius in anticipation of its warmth to reduce the chilly air, as it illuminates an opportunity to make clear decisions about being in charge and control of one’s independent nature in regards to their life choices. 

Saturn, the daily CEO of Aquarius is currently in Pisces riding the waves of faith and positive outcomes in mind that have the potential to dissolve existing emotional foundations, in anticipation of the new beginning of 2024!

Meanwhile, Uranus the revolutionary ruler of Aquarius is moving slowly through Taurus with innovative values and fleeting opportunities of inspiration to break new ground relative to intuitive and unique ideas regarding the technology of communication on the horizon.

Thus, two completely different options are on the horizon for consideration, the first from Saturn is to take a break from feeling like the emotional world is on your shoulders with some much-needed, deserved rest while indulging in the artistic endeavors of writing, painting, music, and/or daydreaming. Once a state of relaxation is achieved, allow the intuitive insights of Uranus in Taurus to flow that may elicit a shift in values to receive the best of the past and release the rest!

Interestingly before the Sun rose today, it reached the fifteenth degree of Aquarius opening the door of the balsamic solar cycle which is symbolically characterized as the time of year to release the intentions planted in the spring of 2023, without attachment to the final unfoldment and manifestation of them with the faith that a higher power will bring them to fruition.

As the intentions are released, seeds for the coming spring planting cycle are being unconsciously, subconsciously, and consciously chosen.  Thus, the next forty-five days are crucial to consider the quality of personal thoughts, words, feelings, actions, beliefs, and what is experienced through social media, conversations, reading material, entertainment, and/or everything else under the sun as potential seeds of reality that will be planted in the spring!

While the seeds are planted in the spring, the balsamic phase of the solar cycle is the time of preparing the ground to receive the seed by breaking it up, fertilizing it, and protecting it from disease and pests that would destroy it before it materializes into beauty or nutrition.

Similarly, now is the time to prepare the personal field of consciousness by breaking the ground of negative thinking or conditioning with love and self-forgiveness, fertilizing it with positive, affirmative thoughts and beliefs, visualizing images of personal desires on a vision board, spending quality time in nature to feel the warmth of the sun to create a state of receptivity of the seeds within the soul as the rain washes away any illusions of denial that come forth as doubt, worry, or lack of self-trust to manifest the experience as a creator of personal reality!  Last, but not least, it is also important to protect the seeds of your manifestations from the opinions of naysayers or self-critical analysis.

Yes, it is a great deal to consider and do during the next forty-five days.  Yet, if you could be experiencing the reality of your desires in 2024, isn’t the effort worth it?  Otherwise, you get what you get!

Meanwhile, the Moon is positioned high in the sky in expansive Sagittarius offering the emotional optimism to feed new intentions with the anticipation of a new chapter in this journey called life, with the solid values of Taurus relative to wealth and partnerships which encompasses the qualities of love, peace, joy, hope, and compassion for the highest good of all. 

The caveat is that during the next couple of days, expansive intentions of emotional anticipation may run counterproductive with authoritative challenges that could have the effect of putting out the fire of anticipation with conflicting values that require attitude adjustments to prevent emotional struggles of expression which may result in feeling shut down, or no one is listening.

Just before sunrise on February 5, Venus in Capricorn squares off with Chiron in Aries about jumping into life-long commitments too early, from a feels rights perspective without an intuitive knowing that it is right.  Now, planets in Aries are going to do what Aries is going to do, but at least someone cares enough to offer some wisdom and advice before it does!

Shortly after, Mercury unites with Pluto in Aquarius with a new direction, innovative insightful ideas, and a unique perspective that has the potential to transform the current state of technology!  Therefore, now is a time to move forward with what you know, without knowing how you do!

As the Sun prepares to rise on February 6, the Moon shifts gears as it moves into authoritative Capricorn with a responsible attitude to climb the emotional mountains of the past with gratitude for the lessons learned about self-reliance.  Fortunately, the Moon is supported by all of the primary planets during the next couple of days relative to personal and professional shifts in emotions, values, boundaries, ideas, purpose, illusions, dreams, spirituality, expansive opportunities, enlightenment, and transformation!  The key is to make decisions with the emotional clarity of self without mudding the waters with moodiness, or reactionary behaviors when the Moon in Capricorn squares off with Chiron in Aries!

On the midmorning of February 7, Venus and the Moon are closely aligned in Capricorn with responsible emotional self-values that are counterproductive to the boundary violators of Chiron and the North Node in Aries, as parental energy issues authoritative expectations to heal the wounds of the past with love and self-forgiveness as destiny is calling them to make new choices as a leader of oneself, instead of using temper tantrums to get attention about those wounds.

In the predawn hours of February 8, another round of challenges is potentially on the horizon as conflicts between the Sun in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus about turning a corner with a new perspective of forward moment into an unknown direction relative to one’s identity and/or purpose.  The conflict lies in the reluctance of Uranus in Taurus to make changes without guarantees, even though it feels stuck in its current position.  However, it will likely work out unexpectedly as Uranus is the transcendental ruler of Aquarius and usually has the final say with unique solutions.

However, as the workday begins the Moon shifts into Aquarius to join Pluto, Mercury, and the Sun in Aquarius with an emotionally detached take-charge attitude when unpredictable changes occur that may feel earth-shattering.  Those potential changes have been on the horizon for some time, and now they are undeniable.  Once the emotional shock waves have subsided, there is an awareness that comes forth as a light at the end of the tunnel, that emotions can be the fuel that moves everything forward into evolutionary enlightenment.  

Therefore, there is an opportunity to be in control of emotional responses to life changes or allow the emotions to become knee-jerk reactions that are disempowering and subject to being controlled by circumstances instead of responding to them with the power of faith.

On February 9, the workweek ends with a new Moon cycle in Aquarius with an opportunity to break through the illusions of traditional values which appear to be the road to success in society, to be your authentic, unique, innovative self that takes the personal world of reality by storm with a belief in miracles!

The caveat is that what is taking place now relative to personal desires, destiny, intentions, and being a self-reliant leader of life is setting up the energy of the solar eclipse that occurs in April 2024 following the Spring Equinox.  Thus, what is chosen now until March 19, will become the seeds of manifestation for the solar year cycle of 2024-2025!
