Astrological Highlights for the Week Ahead
Happy Monday All! I hope you are well. Now are we officially in March, I thought we would have a quick peek into the rest of the month before looking at this week.
March is a POWERHOUSE month astrologically speaking! If we work correctly with the energies we have the potential to create some amazing Magick!
First up, the Full Moon in Virgo brings us a much needed medicine for the energies lying ahead. Think of this as a time of deep cleansing and emotional release, the last Full Moon this astrological year, clearing our way for the energies of the new year - not to be missed!!
Next, Saturn in Pisces is bringing us one of the biggest cosmic shifts of 2023! New karmic cycles begin, new lessons are abound. This will be a chance for us to grow and mature - also, not to be missed!!
Coming swiftly after that, we have Jupiter Conjunct Chiron. This will open a powerful portal, bringing awakening and healing potential Old wounds may be exposed, giving us the opportunity to heal and move on to greater potential
Next, we have Venus Conjunct Eris, where we will be surrounded by tons of Goddess energy and our intuition will be heightened
Then, Mars will leave the shadow phase of its previous Retrograde, leading to renewed energy and a spurt of motivation, much needed by those who have been influenced by Pisces chiller vibes recently.
Soon after, it’s time for my favourite time of the year astrologically speaking, the start of Aries season, the Equinox and the New Astrological Year!! This is a POWER day for manifestation and raising our vibrations! And can work wonders for setting your intentions for this new year - not to be missed!!
The day after that, we are treated to a New Moon in Aries - the first of two, the next being an eclipse, this is the start of a Black Moon Cycle. This period of time will usher in new opportunities and give us a some ideas as to what to expect for the coming year - also not to be missed!!
Next, we have a rare cosmetic event in Pluto entering Aquarius! The collective are being further encouraged into the technological era, and Pluto in Aquarius begins to grace us with a powerful transformative energy that will set the theme for the coming decades!! This really is a huge transit, and definitely not one to miss!!
Finally, we have Mars moving into Cancer urging us to reflect on how our attitudes to our fears have changed. This will be a relatively big energetic shift, as Mars moves out of Gemini in which it had an extended stay, due its last Retrograde.
As you can see, March is a hugely powerful month this year! There are 5 key events I urge you to pop in you calendar now and get some Magick planned for:
- Full Moon in Virgo 7th March 2023
- Saturn Enters Pisces 7th March 2023
- Spring Equinox 20th March 2023
- New Moon in Aries 21st March 2023
- Pluto Enters Aquarius 23rd March 2023
But for now, lets go into more detail on what’s in store for us this week…
Full Moon in Virgo 7th March 2023 7:40am (ET) 7th March 2023 12:40pm (GMT)
VIRGO - Earth / Mutable
RULING PLANET - Mercury
6th HOUSE - Health, Fitness, Pets, Services, Helping, Working, Organisation
COLOURS - Silvers, Greys, Purple & Violet
CRYSTALS - Amethyst, Pyrite, Aventurine
Message: Soothe, Cleanse, Heal!
Get ready for a truly Magickal Full Moon in Virgo this week! This event will bring with it a calm, clarity that many of us will be incredibly thankful for It will remind us that it is in our power to make the best of wherever we are in our lives.
This Full Moon will feel like a tonic, an elixir that is specially crafted to guide and help us navigate all that lies ahead in the new astrological year. Being the last Full Moon of the current astrological year, it will prompt us to acknowledge some essential details and bring to light what we need to clear before starting afresh again
This is an eyes-wide-open time for our work, habits, health, and routines. We are likely to receive strong messages from our intuition at this time, so listen to your higher self and allow it to guide you to where you need to be
Energetically, all signs will feel the influence of this event, but Virgo suns , as well as other Mutable signs - Sagittarius , Gemini and Pisces might get a little extra pressure. Remember Full Moon is about letting go all you no longer need to manifest your dreams. See what comes up, let it flow and then let it go!
Virgo favours clearing, refining, purging, detoxing and organising and it very much favours launching self-improvement schemes!!
Cleansing and releasing rituals are particularly powerful during this Full Moon, as well as Banishing Spells. Get rid of all that stale energy and make way for all that is new and sparkly
Saturn Enters Pisces 7th March 2023 8:35am (ET) 7th March 2023 1:35pm (GMT)
Hot on the heels of the Full Moon, we can expect an even BIGGER energetic shift, as Saturn waves goodbye to Aquarius and moves into Pisces. This is a big deal for all zodiac signs, as this is an astrological influence that hasn’t occurred since 1996!! Additionally, if you have Saturn in Pisces in your Natal Chart, get ready for some uncomfortable (but much needed!) lessons that Saturns Return is about to teach you.
Since December 2017, Saturn has been traveling through domicile zodiac signs (the signs he naturally rules). Capricorn until March 2020, and then Aquarius from March 2020 to March 2023, and so, for the past six years, Saturn has been incredibly comfortable and strong If we think back over the past six years, I’m sure we can all agree we have collectively and personally experienced some fairly strong reality checks! Doubly true for me, as my Saturn Return was Capricorn, and man, did I feel it!
But for around the next three years, Saturn transits Pisces, so what does this mean? Well, Saturn is not in detriment or fall in Pisces, which is good, but he doesn’t like Pisces much particularly either This is because Saturn is a serious teacher he wants us to learn, work hard and not mess around. Pisces is a dreamy, empathetic water sign, one that wants us to float along at ease in many (or any!) directions! The energies here are opposing.
Personally, we are about to feel a lot less pressure in one area of our Natal Charts as Saturn moves out of Aquarius but, we are about to feel a lot more pressure in another area of our Natal Charts as he moves in to Pisces This is because Saturn has been in one part of our charts for the past two or so years, and now he is about to move into another part.
Wherever he has been is where we have almost certainly faced our biggest challenges, and wherever he is about to go is where we will be facing our biggest challenges in the coming years. Check your chart to see which house you have Aquarius in (pressure lightening), and Pisces in (pressure incoming) for more insight.
Collectively, the bad news is, regardless of our signs, the majority of us will struggle with boundaries during this transit - knowing where they end and where they begin. The good new is, knowing this, we can take some proactive steps to get ahead of this before it becomes an issue. Being clear about our expectations in all types of relationships will help us succeed and prevent us from getting confused and losing ourselves in others.
Additionally, this is a good time to get creative at work! Saturn loves work and Pisces is a famous artist so why not use this potent mix of energies to bring more creativity into our working lives, or even branch out into some creative hobbies?
I’ll leave it there for this week, as thats ALOT to take in for one post
Have a lovely week all!
Love & Light
