NEW MOON/MONTHLY FORECAST
In Port Townsend, WA
Thursday, March 26, 2009 7 – 9 PM $15
This forecast overs the important alignments for the next four weeks
and how to take advantage of the opportunities they provided.
Dear Friends,
The next full moon peaks on Tuesday, March 10 at 7:38 PM PDT at 21º
Virgo-Pisces. This is one of the most important Full Moons of 2009; it
amplifies the ongoing opposition between Saturn and Uranus, an
evolutionary imperative in effect from the fall of 2008 through the
summer of 2010. Saturn rules form on all levels, from the
configuration of our ego to the formation of governments and
corporations. Uranus corresponds to freedom, innovation, and
revolutionary forces — the breakdown of outmoded structures and rapid
cultural changes. Saturn corresponds with the laws of classical
physics; Uranus, the quirky realities of quantum mechanics. Their face-
off heightens the contrast between hierarchy and democracy, status quo
and progress, fear and freedom.
The last times these two planets opposed each other were the periods
1965–1967, 1918–1920, and 1873–1875, all times of major social,
political, and economic challenges. During the previous Saturn–Uranus
opposition in the mid 1960s (which occurred at 12°–25° Pisces–Virgo),
we saw large-scale civil rights and antiwar demonstrations; Britain’s
economic standstill and the devaluation of the pound; China’s
“Cultural Revolution”; the rise of “Flower Power”; the first walks in
space by Soviet and American astronauts; and the international spread
of supermarkets and mass tourism.
During the 1918–20 oppositions (24° Leo–Aquarius to 6° Virgo–Pisces),
we saw a global economic recession after the end of WWI; the rise of
Gandhi and the redefining of many national borders; the 19th Amendment
giving women the right to vote, along with race riots and strikes in
the United States; the first air crossing of the Atlantic and the
first public radio broadcasts. The preceding oppositions in 1873–75
(2°–20° Aquarius–Leo) coincided the establishment of socialist parties
and financial crises throughout Europe, the crash of the Vienna Stock
Exchange due to dishonest manipulations, the closing of the U.S. Stock
Exchange for ten days, plunging real estate values, and widespread
bank failures.
History repeats itself, until we make different choices. Indeed, one
definition of insanity, attributed to Albert Einstein, is doing the
same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Each
cycle, each day, each moment, we have a choice — between standing in
love or collapsing into fear, between staying asleep or waking up.
Where the Sun at 21° Pisces falls in your chart is where you must
surrender, trust your intuition, and take a leap of faith; where the
Moon at 21° Virgo activates your chart is where you need to set
healthy boundaries, respect your limits, and honor your priorities.
Those born with Uranus in Virgo (November 1, 1961 – June 24, 1969) and
Pluto in Virgo (October 19, 1956 – July 30, 1972) are being given an
especially urgent wakeup call to own and express their power. Neptune,
the modern ruler of Pisces, is close to Mars and Chiron in Aquarius,
pressing us to transcend our illusions and act on our ideals.
Jupiter’s proximity to the North Node and Juno in Aquarius supports
collaborations with like-minded souls and the formation of new
alliances and technological advancements.
We are not separate. We are not alone. We are not powerless. As
Carolyn Casey points out: “We dreamed it up, and we can dream it
down.” Use the power of this Full Moon to strengthen your light,
eliminate distractions, and take the next big step on your path.
Remember: “If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do
is keep on walking." (Buddhist proverb)
