March
2005
By Norma Jean Ream
Winter is ending and March is the
month of fertility and the preparation for new projects. The New Moon on
March 9/10 has an emphasis on the water element. Water represents
connectivity, emotion, sensitivity, and blending. Add in a grouping of
points that represent love and relationships, and we have a mixture that
could go a long way in romance and intimacy. There may be a celebrity
marriage, or relationship that takes the public’s attention at this
time.
In business level relationships
however, it might be best to listen to your internal guidance. That
means listen to your “gut” feelings. Things can appear better than they
are. You might find down the road that you were mesmerized by the
glamour of what seemed to be, but the result turned out to be more true
to your first reaction. Intuition can be useful in these next few
months. What can be romantic in personal relationships can also blind
you to important details in the process of making agreements and
business contracts. It may be harder to stay critical and attentive when
the atmosphere is so congenial.
By mid-March, we might feel like
life is a tug-of-war. It can be frustrating, with the desire to move
life in one direction, while responsibility and limited resources press
from the other direction. Mercury, planet of contracts, commerce,
thinking, and speaking, will turn retrograde on March 20, just before
the Sun enters Aries. It faces off with Jupiter, suggesting that we do
not get too inflated with our plans before we really investigate the
hidden factors, or at least those less visible. The best use of this
period is research and review.
Venus, the planet of money, love,
and beauty is traveling in the Sun’s path all month. This highlights
issues of banking, increases the value of some things, and lends an
influence toward indulgence and frivolous spending, for Venus allows
“too much” in giving the Sun (individual) what is desired. We tend to
have less control over pushing to get what we want.
At the Full Moon on March 25,
relationships could be the prominent theme that can be applied to many
levels of life. The polarity of Aries and Libra is the struggle between
independence and partnership. The tension can be passionate or clashing.
This could be a dangerous and explosive time. Fortunately, the most
stressful influences are faster moving and this doesn’t last long. Yet,
the fixed stars add some war-like themes to important points that could
make international relationships explosive. It is not likely that we
have our troops coming home this year. The Equinox chart is used as a
tool to represent the year ahead relating to government and national
issues. Based on this, the USA is facing some difficult diplomatic
relationships. The eclipses in April will tell more of this story. The
best days this month for agreements, reconciliations, and buy-sell deals
are the 10th, 13th, 14th, 19th,
and the 24th. Remember to listen to your internal guide in
these matters. |
