Dark Stars Horoscope for the Month of March 2019

The Astrology Room

 

ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Sharing fun, creativity, and friendship brings out your best this March. And while you often like to lead others, you’d benefit from relaxing your grip a little. The bigger picture might surprise you, so why not make space to tune into what lies beneath? If you want a project, focusing on your finances is helpful too, for Mars is in practical Taurus and favours a down-to-earth approach. March begins your astrological year, when the Sun enters Aries at the Spring Equinox on 20th. A meaningful full Moon in Libra follows on 21st March – highlighting everything to do with your closest partnerships and alliances. This is a time of clearing the ground, ready for spring growth, with April’s Libran full Moon also highlighting your partnerships – an unusual repetition of this message. Chiron’s arrival in Aries also underlines your need to mend, heal, and clarify certain things in your world too. Everything you’ve experienced and learned in recent years can now help you create or develop something fresh. Take your time. A new Moon in Aries on 5th April lights the path ahead.

 

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

Your undeniable charm throws off sparks this March – and who knows where that might lead? People are attracted to you in all manner of ways, with love and friendship flowing towards you – including some interesting past connections. As a fixed, earthy sign you like things to be certain – however, eccentric Uranus enters Taurus on 6th March for a long stay. You’ll be more inclined to question the rules, defy convention, or dye your hair purple. An inventive, even rebellious, atmosphere is brewing in your subconscious – so do allow yourself to experiment a little. Friendships and romances offer food for thought this spring, and can show you new horizons or locations for home or work. Try not to channel all your energy into maintaining the status quo though – little by little things are changing, so remaining flexible means you can make the very most of an exciting new phase in your life.

 

GEMINI (May 22nd-June 21st)

Where are you going? What are you doing? You may not be able to answer those questions straight away, for your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde this month. Not only that, it is swimming to the depths of imaginative, watery Pisces. The undersea world is a magical place, but it can be hard to see things clearly. Plans may change or dissolve, people may be unreliable, and smoke and mirrors seduce you – particularly around the time of a slippery new Moon in Pisces on 6th March. Enjoy all the fabulous, intuitive insights, and hold tight to your money, financial details, and online security in general. Some fascinating, maybe glamorous possibilities are emerging – but its wise to wait for the mists to clear. By early April you should be in a position to act more decisively on love, career, or your own hopes and dreams. Meanwhile, inspiration bubbles up from study, travel, and spiritual adventures.

 

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd)

If you’re planning a trip, or going on a course, this month, it might be wise to take account of unexpected delays or changes to your schedule. Mercury is backtracking in vague Pisces, and confusion is often the result this month. A mystical new Moon on 6th March also favours misty reflections over practical plans – great for artists, lovers and dreamers, less fabulous if you’re keen to get everything tickety-boo. Your finances are looking more cheerful, though, and you’re on the brink of a new phase in your working life too. It may take a while to soften the edges of any disagreements you’ve had this year, but together you can find ways of combining ideals with practicality if everyone is prepared to communicate calmly, and is willing to compromise a little. Some of you are mulling over a complete change in your career, others just want to polish up their skills. You shall go to the ball, so open the door and invite that fairy godmother of yours in. There’s more to come as April begins – pace yourself.

 

LEO (July 24th-August 23rd)

Mars in Taurus is powerfully placed in your solar chart. You’re eager to get things moving, and want to take action on your dreams and hopes for the future. So make the most of the days around the Spring Equinox on 20th March, when you can use the positive planetary energies to revitalise love, creativity, and playfulness. Once the Sun is in Aries, you’re inclined to scan the far horizons, sniff the air, and sense the new season approaching. The only fly in the cosmic ointment is Mercury retrograde, so do pay attention to official documents, financial agreements, and terms and conditions. Things might not be quite what they seem, and this includes news you receive, and arrangements you make with others. Past contracts or loans may also need scrutinising now. Your planetary feel-good factor is high this year, with Jupiter in Sagittarius favouring adventure, learning, love and children. Just remember to dot the I’s and cross the T’s before you set off on your journey.

 

 

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd)

Others may drive you nuts this month, even though you love them dearly. There’s a lot of shilly-shallying going on amongst your partners at home, and at work. All you can do is cultivate patience, or grit your teeth, and wait for Mercury to stop messing about at the very end of March. Meanwhile, Mars in Taurus boosts your creativity and sexiness, so embrace that magnetism and step away from all the confusion. The new Moon on 6th March is a helpful day for new beginnings, and the days between 9th – 16th March are full of inspiration and planetary support. These are positive days for developing creativity, pursuing love and romance, or simply being good to yourself for a change. Yes, Mercury is retrograde, but its always a useful time to review plans or return to a past project or neglected friendship. Of all the signs of the zodiac, you know very well that the devil’s in the details – and that there are diamonds in the dust and rubies in the rubble. Happy hunting!

 

 

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd)

Wellbeing and harmony spring from making time for yourself this month. Have you abandoned a hobby or exercise class you used to enjoy? Is there something life-enhancing, however small, you can factor into your everyday life? You’re coming up to half-way in your zodiac year, making early March a helpful moment to see how things are going for you. Do you want to make changes? Are you happy with any changes you’ve already made, or would you like to shuffle things around a bit? Dynamic planetary activity means that the week leading up to the Spring Equinox (20th) and full Moon in Libra (21st) is full of opportunities for you to experiment and explore. Firecrackers may go off in your love life or finances around that time too, and many of you will have to make some adjustments or use all your fabulously diplomatic skills to keep things in balance. Unusually, there’s another full Libran Moon in April. So it’s an important season for partnerships, relationships, and all those me-and-you, us-and-them themes in your world. How do you feel?

 

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd)

You’re often an ace detective or paranormal investigator, whatever your day-to-day job might be. March finds all your spidey senses tingling away, as planets in psychic Pisces encourage you to tune into what’s mysterious or bewildering. You could dig up a forgotten talent, or find that you want to do things differently, change your routines, or alter your social life in some way. With Uranus entering Taurus for a long stay on 6th March, your associates and partnerships are on the brink of growing and developing in new ways too, and this includes any financial ties you may have. Conversations between 14th – 24th offer plenty of clues and hints. And intriguing ideas and inspirations float up from your subconscious too – perhaps prompted by a spontaneous day out, a trip, or a film you see. Keep all your paperwork and practical plans simple and well-organised, or have a clear-out if you feel your space is stagnant and cluttered. Don’t stress about any delays, you’ll see that even these have a purpose.

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd-December 21st)

Everyday life hovers on the cusp of change. Your routines and what you take for granted are challenged, while all things home and family could also benefit from something fresh and new. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, you’re able to charm the birds from the trees, so do let your imagination run riot and see what you can come up with. You may also discover a nifty way of making some extra cash, or find some extra time for something fulfilling – such as a new pet, going swimming, or some unusual days out. Pay close attention to any dreams or intuitions that surface mid-month, and also any curious coincidences or small synchroniticites that grab your attention. These messages may seem subtle, but if you take notice you’ll open up the way for more and discover the joys of going with the flow. By the time the Sun enters Aries on 20th, you’ll be ready to see friendship and love in a sunny light. Shared projects or new relationships are energised in April, why not sow the seeds now?

 

CAPRICORN (December 22nd-January 20th)

March begins with surprising news, but soon settles into a fresh springtime rhythm. Your naturally serious qualities are currently emphasised by Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. And with Mars in earthy Taurus too you must guard against sinking into an overly ambitious, or even ruthless, frame of mind. Music, art, and visions flow from planets in whirlygig Pisces – seeking out ways to bring more colour into your life lightens your spirit, and balances out those deeply serious vibes from Old Man Saturn and The Lord of the Underworld. Watch for invitations, inspirations, or offers in the days around the new Moon on 6th, plus mid-March chances to expand your world, love life, or talents. Messages from the past, and old friends, are meaningful too – and may cause you to think about doing something differently. With two full Moons in Libra on 21st March and 19th April, plus Uranus entering practical Taurus, you’ll have to be more flexible about what you want, or what you think you want. See this as a good thing, and make space for beautiful, unruly spring.

 

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th)

Do you feel as if you must choose between freedom or responsibility, invention or security? Then relax, for like an alchemist you’ll soon be able blend these needs together in new and exciting ways. Your modern astrological ruler is revolutionary Uranus, planet of change. Uranus enters Taurus when the new Moon rises on 6th March. A new era begins for you, your family, and your finances. January Aquarians may feel restless and inventive sooner rather than later. February Aquarians may hear some unusual news or enjoy some eccentric conversations. Saturn, your traditional ruling planet, anchors all of you in practical reality – but you can act positively to make changes as early as mid-March. Huge charm is on your side, thanks to Venus in Aquarius for most of March – so why not explore some crazy ideas, talk to friends, and play with possibilities? What crops up around the Spring Equinox (20th) could be very exciting.

 

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th)

A dreamy new Moon in Pisces begins March with some gorgeous creative and emotional energy. It’s a sociable time, with contacts and friends making interesting suggestions or even offering you a chance to travel, find new work, or learn something different. Remember, you have generous Jupiter (your traditional ruler) in expansive Sagittarius this year. Widening your horizons and ambitions is a 2019 theme, just as long as you’re prepared to listen carefully to sensible advice from friends and colleagues. Opening up your mind allows you to consider all manner of possibilities, but do avoid combining this with opening up your bank account! Spending lots of money is not the answer. Tuning into your most intuitive, creative self is the way to go – the days between 14th – 24th March look especially fertile. Venus arrives in Pisces on 26th March, all ready for you to work your alluring magic in April. Prepare now, and there’ll be no stopping you.

2019 Health Horoscope – What’s in store for your health

The Healthiest Zodiac Signs in 2019

Although during the past few years we’ve faced changes in the weather, there are some elements that can help us maintain an optimal health state, but besides that, there are few astral signs that can do almost anything, because they were endowed from Mother Nature with an iron health, which can’t be easily brought down.

Based on these data, we’ve elaborated right below a top five of the healthiest zodiac signs and I really hope you are among them. We shall start with:

Sagittarius

You are on the first place in terms of the healthiest sign of the zodiac. You were almost dethroned, but because you have a very strong nature and you don’t give up easily, you do sports and your physical condition is worthy of envy, there was no room for any doubts. You are able to prevent any illness also because you mostly avoid everything that can harm you. You have no reason to worry in this regard, maybe only the daily stress can cause you headaches.

Leo

Yes. You are also great, really great when it comes to health. You are the one challenging the Sagittarius for the first place in this ranking. The Sun is the ruler of this astrological sign and is the reason for your wonderful physical shape. You have no issues regarding your weight, and you are slender and protected from a lot of affections. Maybe only with the passage of years, some cardiac problems will occur, but if you continue to do sports and adopt a healthy lifestyle, you will live to a ripe old age, next to your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Capricorn

You too, next to those signs mentioned above, have an impeccable physical condition, with low risk of developing diseases. You can live a long, beautiful life if you adopt a healthy lifestyle. The only thing that should concern you is negligence, which causes you headaches both at home and at work, with all kinds of bruises and scratches unexpectedly occurring overnight.

Libra

You are famous for your strong immune system. You have a balanced nature, your preferred combination is that of sport and healthy diet, and because of that, you become immune to any whims of the weather and any seasonal affections. You may sometimes suffer from some small migraines, due to high/low blood pressure. Your main issue is and will be the stress, this element triggering the majority of great and serious health issues…

Aries

Last but not least, the Aries. Even if you often complain of migraines, your health state is very good due to a more than protective and generous immune system. You won’t have to deal with too many health issues during your life because you adopt even from an early age a healthy lifestyle and you are going almost daily to the gym or you exercise outdoors. If you are able to avoid issues and stress, you won’t have too much trouble going to doctors and seeking their assistance.

Your Horoscopes for the Month of March 2019

Monthly Horoscopes for March

 

ARIES (March 20 – April 19)

Your ability to take the lead and push through obstacles is thwarted this month by numerous responsibilities. This can cause frustration and irritability.

For you, the march 2019 begins with one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas pedal. By the Spring Equinox, all stops are resolved and you can exuberantly express your passion to manifest a new reality.

However, be aware of important communications taking place three days on either side of the Full Moon. Call upon the power of patience, and you will have a clearer and stronger stance by March 29-30 2019.

The spontaneous, individualistic and courageous side of your nature is needed by those around you. You lead through example.

TAURUS (April 19 – May 20)

You like to be comfortable, and this dynamic trend of transformation may unsettle your senses. Cultivate present moment awareness, and you can be a strong anchor in the winds of change. There is a focus on career this month. New projects may be in the visionary stages.

You are given the blueprint, the big picture, for long term projects. Your talent to build, stabilize and beautify will be called upon as the year unfolds. Run all projects through your practical side.

 

Communication with family members takes on a new light – it is essential to be honest and resist the temptation to save people from their own dreams.

GEMINI (May 20 – June 21)

Finances may be an area of delay and frustration, but you are in a position to resolve these issues as the month unfolds. Your easy-going and personable style can go a long way in career developments.

Exciting possibilities in this area can be tapped through your strong communication skills.

Slowing down to connect with another person’s perspective brings out new direction for both of you. A unique, fun getaway can restore your nerves and rejuvenate your senses.

Stresses of recent months fade away, but it is still essential to stay grounded amongst the many people and activities you are involved in.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Exotic vacations in foreign lands live in your dreams this month. A brief respite or life long goals, investigate what stirs in your soul.

LEO (July 22 – August 22)

Your relationships are up for healing this month of march 2019 Leo. Your ability to take charge is hampered by hidden motives. Valuable insight comes as a result of looking beneath the surface of things.

You are in a better position to determine the truth. Remember, “All that glitters is not gold.”

Listen, truly listen, to the heart of another, and your lion-hearted nature will light the way for others to be more of who they are. The work area needs some organization, and you are up for the task at hand.

Your focus this month is on work, relationships and resources shared with others.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 22)

Your no nonsense approach to life is thrown for a loop. People come out of nowhere, requesting your services, and diverting attention to their needs.

The 2019 march horoscope predicts that although this month of march 2019 is a balancing act for you, there is much to learn and receive in the reflection of another’s life.

There is a tendency to over-commit, and work may stand in the way of social engagements. Keeping all in perspective, this month takes you out of the doldrums into a larger range of activity.

It is possible to develop alliances of appreciation, respect and support. May your tendency to pick things apart be a healthy discernment of life direction in balance with your relationships.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 23)

You are running in different directions this month trying to keep your world in balance. If you only focus on keeping other’s happy, you may miss the gifts of personal growth.

This year brings benefit in new contacts and alliances. Your natural social grace is enhanced in work and play.

Developments in the work arena are new and exciting. It is important to know where you really stand. Honesty begins with self. Give yourself a break, and fuel heartfelt dreams.

The home front calls for your attention. You intuitively know a house only becomes a home when mutual respect reigns.

Stagnation gives way to movement and relief. Important communications take place. Remember to tell the truth with integrity and compassion.

The waters of your nature run deep, and this final phase of winter completes purification. This leads to greater emotional and mental well-being. Your intuition and gut felt hunches are clearer, and more reliable as the month unfolds.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

Your gypsy days are over, at least until Spring Equinox. Problems revealed November – January 2018 are finally resolving.

Reflexing back into repetitive and habitual behavior leads nowhere. The powerful trend of transformation is re-making you from the inside out.

Truly, you are beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Take some time to retreat into the inner sanctuary of your spiritual home. Revelation, healing and understanding are to be found within.

Sag, remind yourself daily that this is a new year with new promise and possibility. Only then can you turn around and inspire others with enthusiasm and vision.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 21)

Everyone deserves a break now and then. The only problem, Capricorn, is you may continue to run the treadmill.

If so, you can miss the opportunity for sweet reflection that leads to a new view of your life path. Avoid the temptation to be negative during the first ten days of March 2019.

Know there is a deep river of creativity within you. Ideas flow like water, and nourish the seeds of new projects.

The 2019 march horoscope says that when you take a time out to release expectations, you can revise goals with greater clarity. While you are usually the practical one, your life path benefits from sharing responsibility.

This lightens your load, and frees your attention for a new lease on life.

AQUARIUS (January 21 – February 18)

You are on a roll Aquarius. Despite conservative trends, you are in the right place at the right time. Trust your vision for a humane future. Your global perspective is enhanced by strong intuitive energies. But, resist the temptation to save others. Peace really does begin with you.

Genuinely love yourself, and you are free to sow seeds of compassion in your world. You are called to develop financial security in miraculous ways. While the area of financial improvement is strong, you can benefit from a second opinion.

Please be sure to run ideas by someone that is grounded in practical affairs.

Manifestation is a co-creative process, and you are in a perfect position to learn new ways of being in the world. Watch the trends, catch the wave, and freedom is yours.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

Happy Birthday Pisces! With Uranus in your Sun Sign for the next seven years, creative juices are flowing. March is the month to recognize your dreams and let them unfold in new directions.

Be on your toes, and open to positive surprises. Universal guidance is very strong, and at your fingertips.

 

In order to receive, activate your Divine gift of receptivity. This is the month to illuminate ideals, hold them to your heart, and don’t let present reality get you down.

Magic is in the air, and because you believe, miracles happen. While you have spent plenty of time playing the victim game, you are waking up to a new life. Everyday, remember that complaining will get you nowhere. There is a new world ready to be born through your vision!

The current buzzword ‘intention’ speaks to you. Pisces, march is your month to embrace the full ramifications of this potent concept. The wind is finally at your back lending a new freedom in being exactly as you are.

Deep in our souls
When all seems most grey.

Within us, and let us
Never fail to find that voice
Like a single jewel
In the palm of our hands.

[Pagan Book of Hours]

MARCH IS A MONTH OF LIBERATION

MARCH IS A MONTH OF LIBERATION

It is the end of the winter and as above, so below. As the northern hemisphere thaws, the motion of the cosmos also becomes more fluid, nebulous, and dramatically transitional.

The month kicks off big, with Venus in Capricorn squaring Uranus in Aries at the anaretic degree of each sign. This tense and potentially disruptive square affects intimate partnerships, financial agreements and anywhere we are cultivating abundance—but the disruption is necessary and provides us with a more clear-eyed path as we forge ahead.

Immediately after making this aspect, Venus transits into Aquarius and becomes the dazzling hyper-queer sexy android version of herself, moving collective ideals of love and sex toward excitingly futuristic and potent horizons. Queers to the front! When Venus moves through Aquarius, it is always a thrilling opportunity to reevaluate your sexuality and all of your means of attraction to be certain they are authentic to your truest self. In other words, Venus in Aquarius is an invitation to bring your eccentricity to the forefront—to come out of the closet, as it were. Even if you don’t identify as queer, Venus in Aquarius is liberating and unusual.

Mercury is spending more time in Pisces than it usually spends in any sign, and the fleet-footed messenger is considered debilitated in the sign of the Fishes. All the Piscean 12th-house dissolution energy confuses and confounds Mercury, who splutters and sinks into the murky poetic depths. Mercury’s retrograde motion surely adds to the blurriness of this transit and dominates much of March’s mood. The retrograde officially kicks off on March 5th, but we are already in the shadow period. Keep in mind, Mercury stays in Pisces all month long, so all mercurial affairs (communications, technology, commerce, among many others) are seen through the underwater lens of Pisces.

March 6 brings a new moon in dreamy, ethereal Pisces and Uranusstationing firmly into Taurus, reinvoking issues that were shaken up by its initial movement into Taurus last May. This is a major transit that will have global effects, especially on issues ruled by Taurus. Over the next seven years, we should expect colossal shifts in beauty standards, materialism, environmental consciousness, and global finance. The powerful new moon lends us the ability to center our thoughts on futurist ideals and be a part of innovation that will lead the way to a better world.

What do the stars have in store for you this year?

March 14 is arguably the height of Mercury retrograde’s shenanigans when the sun catches up to Mercury and Mercury is cazimi, or conjunct the sun. The Pisces energy will be very pronounced on this day; best to dedicate your energies to creative, dreamy pursuits rather than anything concrete or technical.

March 20 finds the sun entering Aries and spring officially begins in the northern hemisphere. A ripe and lush full moon in Libra follows, shining a healing and harmonious light on ideals we are committed to. There is an invitation to recognize the beauty in our bonds, in our agreements. Intentions set at this time are likely to flourish, but because Mercury is retrograde in watery Pisces, avoid making specific demands of the universe or being narrow-minded in manifestation work. Focus on the greater good rather than a particular expectation or outcome.

March 26 Venus enters Pisces, where she is exalted. Our sympathies are heightened, compassion becomes more possible. With this dreamy transit, the world thrums with more romance, sentiment, and nostalgia. On the same day, Mercury goes direct, alleviating some of the fog.

Finally, right at curtain call, on the last day of the month, Mars makes an ingress into Gemini, diversifying our ambitions and opening us up to new possibilities and diverse outcomes for our best-laid plans. We now have an opportunity to infuse our actions with shimmering intellect and to engage in playful contemplation of many angles. With Mercury in Pisces and Mars in Gemini creating a bit of creative tension, we may as well embrace the possibilities and try something new.

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for February 28

COSMIC CALENDAR

Whenever the moon is traveling through the last earth sign of the zodiac, the higher Capricorn energies can lead toward reaching the executive penthouse of your professional aims. While the lunar orb does make a harmonious trine with action-oriented Mars in Taurus (6:27 p.m.) and a supportive, 60-degree liaison with the illuminating sun in Pisces (7:11 p.m.), a trio of celestial party-crashers attempt to block your forward progress.

The sun forming a square and Mars making an off-kilter, 150-degree link to usually nurturing Ceres (3:10 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., respectively) materialize as frustration-builders while Venus square Pallas (1:39 p.m.) puts a temporary crimp in your problem-solving abilities. Anticipate a bold start to March on Friday when Venus enters Aquarius and contacts Uranus and Chiron while the moon attempts to mellow out the coarser natures of Saturn and Pluto by uniting with them in Capricorn.

March 2019 Ascension Energies – Creative Flow

March 2019 Ascension Energies – Creative Flow

The accompanying video to this article can be found here.

February Review

As we’ve been moving through this Year of Freedom, we are intensifying our lightbody upgrade with January’s Patient Potential, which creates an open, relaxed energetic structure. That offers greater flow as the Peace that Passes All Understanding, connects new understanding. February’s energy of Power Vision strengthened the lightbody to create more focus, clarity and determination within. As we move into March, we are energizing our lightbody to amplify our impact into our lives.

February had an interesting flow. In many ways it felt quick and smooth, as details often settled in the unconscious to be accessed at the appropriate time. This resulted in quite a few ah-ha moments interspersed in a quick clearings and readjustments. February’s spiraling of time was offering us the strength of focus within constant movement. The balance of stillness (January) and movement (March).

Creative March

The energy I was shown for March is Creative Flow. I was shown that we are energizing our lightbody to sustain our powerful flow of Love as our spiraling energy amplifies our creative expression within/without/within/without. The breath of life is flowing to you, through you and from you. Breathe life in deeply and exhale your infinite Love into your world.

I was also shown a braid—three strands becoming one pattern of life woven together. If you look at a braid and knew nothing of how to braid, it is not obvious that there are three strands weaving together. As they become one pattern, the origin becomes blended into new form.

This mimics your polarity integration of the duality experience. You are weaving opposites together, the proton and electron of potential form, weaving through you. You are the third strand, connecting two opposites together through your inner choice and your external actions. You are creation, marching forward through linear time.

You are the future, creating in this present moment, the invisible forming within. The future is offered to you now. What will you weave with it?

Freedom March

As you bless this March with your powerful Love, you may not yet see the creation. This is the continuation of the February energy of the power of your vision and envisioning your power—the reflection.

Own your power to create.

Your freedom is an inside job. Your true freedom is within you, where your stillness has the imperceptible movement to touch All. It’s invisible, it flows through your inner vision, February’s preparation. You choose to let it flow – March (is) on. Own your power to create.

You don’t have the power to control unless you can suppress another into compliance. That’s so old paradigm, and unsustainable through the movement of Time. Life will consume that. Or you can transform that. Love’s opportunity is the powerful passive force connecting opposites into new form. That connection, like your Love, begins within you.

In Summary

March will be asking you to create, to connect, to change. What will you have to change in order to hold the space of potential within you? What strand of Love will you connect, to weave into the fabric of your life? What future will you create as the present story unfolds? Hold the power of your vision. Relax into a peaceful stillness. Weave your invisible strand of Love into your life, creating the new. Own your power to create.

The Oddest Month of the Year Comes To An End

The Oddest Month of the Year Comes To An End

February 28, 2019

Odd little February — the shortest month of the year — comes to an end today. Historians aren’t exactly sure just why it’s so short. But tracing the evolution of this abbreviated month gives us a capsule history of the evolution of the calendar.

The modern western calendar is a descendant of the earliest Roman calendar. It included only 10 months, beginning with March. The official months were followed by about 60 days that weren’t part of any month.

That system didn\’t work very well, though, so two months were added to the end of the year — January and February. February was named, incidentally, for the god of purification.

The lengths of the 10 original months were changed to leave 56 days for the newcomers. But the Romans feared even numbers, so they added a day to January to give it 29. February was the month for festivals of repentance and for honoring the dead, so it stayed at an unlucky even number.

But this version of the calendar contained only 355 days. So an extra month was added every other year. In those years, the last five days of February were dropped.

After that, February remained unchanged until 46 B.C., when Julius Caesar introduced the basic calendar that’s in use today. He might have lengthened February to 29 days; if so, it was cut back to 28 by Augustus Caesar, who took the extra day for the month that bears his name: August.

The Sky This Week from February 28 to March 3

379344258_o

The Sky This Week from February 28 to March 3

Mercury puts on its best evening show of 2019. In the morning sky, a waning crescent Moon passes Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus.

Thursday, February 28
With the glare of the Moon now out of the way, Jupiter stands out even better against the background stars of Ophiuchus. If you target the planet through a telescope, you’ll easily see two dark cloud belts that run parallel to each other across the gas giant’s 36″-diameter disk. Small instruments also reveal Jupiter’s four bright Galilean moons. This morning, viewers across western North America get a bonus because the giant world appears to have a “black eye.” It is actually the dark shadow of the moon Europa, which crosses Jupiter’s northern hemisphere from 3:11 to 5:32 a.m. PST.

Friday, March 1
The waning crescent Moon dips lower with each passing day, and this morning, it pairs up with Saturn. Both objects clear the southeastern horizon by 4 a.m. local time and make a pretty sight an hour later, particularly if you view them under a dark sky with the glorious central regions of the Milky Way to their right and above.

The variable star Algol in Perseus reaches minimum brightness at 7:19 p.m. EST, when it shines at magnitude 3.4. If you start viewing as soon as darkness falls, you can watch it more than triple in brightness (to magnitude 2.1) over the course of about five hours. This eclipsing binary star runs through a cycle from minimum to maximum and back every 2.87 days. Algol appears high in the west after sunset and sinks slowly toward the northwestern horizon after midnight.

Saturday, March 2
If you’ve watched the waning crescent Moon these past few mornings, you no doubt saw a brilliant point of light poking above the horizon shortly after 4:30 a.m. local time. This is Venus, which shines at magnitude –4.1 against the background stars on the Sagittarius-Capricornus border. (The planet crosses from the former to the latter constellation today.) This morning, the slender crescent Moon appears less than 5° to Venus’ right. If you target Venus through a telescope, you’ll see a disk that spans 15″ and appears nearly three-quarters lit.

Sunday, March 3
Although Uranus reached opposition and peak visibility in October, it remains a tempting target. The outer planet appears nearly 30° high in the west after darkness falls and doesn’t set until nearly 10 p.m. local time. The magnitude 5.9 world lies in the southwestern corner of Aries the Ram, some 2.2° northeast of the 4th-magnitude star Omicron (ο) Piscium. Although Uranus shines brightly enough to glimpse with the naked eye under a dark sky, use binoculars to locate it initially. A telescope reveals Uranus’ disk, which spans 3.4″ and shows a distinct blue-green hue.

February 29 would mark….

The Beginning of the Salem Witch Trials

On this date in the year 1692, Abigail Williams and Ann Putnam, two young girls from Salem Village, Massachusetts, accused three local women of using the black arts of Witchcraft to torment and bewitch them. On the following day, Sarah Good, Sarah Osburne, and a West African slave named Tituba were arrested, marking the beginning of the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. By the end of the year, when the trials were finally brought to a close, over 200 women and men had been arrested and jailed, 19 had been hanged at Gallows Hill, and one man had been pressed to death.

Weird Holidays Celebrated On February 28

379344258_o

Tooth Fairy Day

At one time or another, all of us have been visited by the tooth fairy. So, it should come as no surprise that somewhere along the line, Tooth Fairy Day was born. The tooth fairy herself (or himself; as the verdict is still out on whether this spirit is male or female) has been around since at least the Middle Ages although the exact origins are still unknown. In fact, the fairy may have just been a means to calm a child that was undergoing the strange experience of losing a tooth (after all, we have all been there).

Still, Tooth Fairy day is a date that is designed to pay homage to this generous spirit that is known to leave treats or coins underneath our pillow. Interestingly enough, the exact date of celebration is under conjecture; some claiming it falls in February while others state that it is held in August. This actually makes a bit of sense, for we have yet to find a way to leave a coin or a snack for the fairy, as we are not even sure if she (or he) has a pillow!

Venus Square Uranus 1 March 2019

Venus Square Uranus 1 March 2019

 

Venus square Uranus natal gives an interesting love life. Issues involving commitment in close relationships can stem from a strong need for personal independence. You are not bound by the traditional societal or moral standards which apply to marriage and intimate relationships in general.

It is not only this need for freedom, but also a need for simulation and excitement that can cause instability in your relationships. Stimulation and excitement go hand in hand with change, the prime keyword of Uranus. In the words of the American novelist Toni Morrison:

In order to be as free as I possibly can, in my own imagination, I can’t take positions that are closed. [wiki]

Although talking about her attitude toward feminism, this need for freedom mainly affects love relationships but also applies to your values and beliefs. Venus rules love, money, and how you rate, or value yourself. To maintain a healthy self-image, or to truly love yourself, you must express the spontaneous, electric nature of Uranus.

Initially, you may have a tendency to try to fit in, or live up to the expectation of family and friends. However, dull friends or a boring lover would cramp your style. You don’t like being tied down or being smothered by love. Enduring such a relationship would result from, or cause, a poor self-image. You would react to this by lashing out or doing something unexpected, like packing up your gear and walking out the door.

There is, however, a compromise available between living alone and being in an unhappy relationship. Although you don’t want to attract disloyal or overly eccentric partners, you can find someone who is open-minded, unorthodox or exciting like yourself.

The ideal relationship  is one in which both partners are able to express their uniqueness and enjoy freedom. Experimentation in the bedroom would provide the extra stimulation needed to remain satisfied and content over the longer term. Testing and challenging the rules of sexuality and relationship dynamics would also provide the thrills and excitement you desire.

This aspect can signify popularity, unique or stunning beauty and personal charm, plus great imagination and creativity. Just as relationships can start and end in a flash, you may experience some dramatic ups and down with your finances. Impulsiveness makes you fun to be around but can play havoc with your love life and savings.

Venus Square Uranus Transit

Venus square Uranus transit can challenge the stability of love relationships through unexpected urges or events. An increased need for freedom and excitement can test your patience with a love one or lead to wandering eyes. If you have been feeling smothered, confined or bored, then you may lash out in anger or through some other destructive behavior.

A healthy relationship will face no major drama, especially with an open-minded partner. Experimentation in the bedroom would satisfy your need to increased stimulation. The more demanding or conservative you partner, then the more likely you are to stir up trouble or have an affair.

I you try to resist the urge for change and excitement, and bottle this spontaneous energy up, then it is likely that you partner will express this energy through some unexpected and sudden action. Entertainment, amusement and novelties will suffice if you are not the daring type.

Singles may be attracted to exciting or eccentric people. Those who seem like a risk or are from a different cultural or ethnic background. New romance is possible but it would more likely be a brief relationship unless other longer term transits indicated otherwise.

Care needs to be taken when shopping, as you are more likely to impulse buy and spend too much and unnecessary items.

Love Is The Law

Do what thou wilt is the Whole of the Law
The time of The Will
Bursts forth Now, in the Spring
Implacable bud!

Let your Love burst forth and blossom freely
Thunder of roses
Unfettered by harsh will
Love willed to be Free

To soar with on Her Wings into New Heavens
Over pure New Earths
Love is Will purified
Love is Her own Law!

Sun is born again in primitive Light
With Arian Force
In the Spring House of Mars
New Life Exploding

From cold Winter’s Icy dark Womb
Gives force to our Wills
Time of re-SOL-ution
We are born again

Juices of Spring wash us from Winter Womb
As Spring buds push out
We drop from Her belly
Like damp, new born colts

This is the time to re-SOL-ve our new lives
With Nature’s Forces
Supporting and healing
As Old Winter dies

Astronomy Picture of the Day – Magnetic Orion

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2019 February 27

Magnetic Orion 
Image Credit & Copyright: NASASOFIAD. Chuss et al. & ESOM. McCaughrean et al.

 

Explanation: Can magnetism affect how stars form? Recent analysis of Orion data from the HAWC+ instrument on the airborne SOFIA observatory indicate that, at times, it can. HAWC+ is able to measure the polarization of far-infrared light which can reveal the alignment of dust grains by expansive ambient magnetic fields. In the featured image, these magnetic fields are shown as curvy lines superposed on an infrared image of the Orion Nebula taken by a Very Large Telescope in Chile. Orion’s Kleinmann-Low Nebula is visible slightly to the upper right of the image center, while bright stars of the Trapezium cluster are visible just to the lower left of center. The Orion Nebula at about l300 light years distant is the nearest major star formation region to the Sun
