After the sluggish movement of life energies from November to the end of January, we can finally start to feel the impulses to move ahead. March will be a month of changes. Many of the issues of these past months start to get resolved. This is not to say that you should be impulsive to decide about the things you have been struggling to complete. It is good to be aware that there is change happening and watch the developments. It will be good to be very flexible this month.
March is the month of transition from winter to spring. The Spring Equinox is March 20 and this will be a turning point of energy. Save your big leap to new ventures until after this date. The potential for clarity and confidence in decision-making will improve.
The earlier part of the month has influences that are unstable and a bit radical. The New Moon on March 7 looks better for personal self-improvement than for making life-changing decisions. It will be better to use these first two weeks looking at all the options before taking big risks. There is excitement in the air, however. There is hopefulness that we are about to collectively make a change.
Technology unites the world today. The trend of today’s youth is a higher degree of social contact beyond the limits of geography. There is also a wider level of artistic creativity. This stimulates new business opportunities, even new industries. The themes coming out in 2008-9 will reflect a renaissance of thinking that could be compared to the mid-1960’s. The youth movement of this decade will take society on a quest of uniquely new ways to work and play with people anywhere at anytime. The cell phone turns into the “everything” connection, unlimited mobility.
The challenge will be to maintain our rights to freedom of communication. In a press conference in late February, President Bush said he wanted to know “who is talking to whom?” Certainly, the government can have a concern for terrorist activities. But, do we have to be concerned for every conversation we have over the airwaves? One of the things this president has done is massively extend the power of the presidency. With that in mind, we need to be concerned about the future of civil rights.
Did you ever wonder what kind of bills are voted on, and passed in the middle of the night? In this past year, there were several that dealt with matters of civil liberties and the expansion of homeland security structures. These are matters that should be of high enough priority that conscious attention is given to the vote. The percentage of Senators or Representatives not in attendance is another questionable matter. We should all care that Congress has voting in the middle of the night.
I mention this topic because the Spring Equinox chart and the Full Moon chart about 13 hours later contain a high degree of challenge and volatility around legislation, legal issues concerning the President or leadership in general. The power behind the scenes symbolism of these charts suggests that some important events may occur that are under the control of decision-makers that we do not know about or are acting covertly.
The economic factors appear to be delicately balanced. The relationship of the US with the countries of strong currencies could be making some deals. Foreign relations and economic negotiations are a highlight of the Equinox chart. The debt of Americans is becoming an international issue. The US banking system could be under review and the lending practices revised dramatically to stabilize world markets.
This spring will bring us options for change. We can’t see too far ahead of ourselves just yet. It is a great month to use feeling and intuition before leaping into action. Many situations will not be what they first appeared to offer. Be cautious and alert to the over promoted “great deal.” Save your next big steps for next month when the energies give a boost to clear thinking, fast action, and good agreements.
