Time to sober up!
Coinciding with the new moon in Taurus on Sunday, Venus, the ruler of Taurus shares spot with Saturn in Pisces. Venus is the planet of love, beauty, pleasure and wealth and now she holds her breath. Saturn brings the energy of discipline, structure and accountability. This combination has a constraining effect on your affection and love, compelling you to rethink the meaning of your personal and professional relationships. Question asked: Are you ready to commit? How are you balancing love and responsibility? At the same time Mars in Leo opposes his buddy Pluto in Aquarius, ushering us into action mode. However, you must battle against the odds to prove yourself, as this is an aspect of conflict. Key to success? Use the grounded new moon energy that radiates from Taurus. Remember; Don't just jiggle life - Master it! ~ Christine K.H

Taurus is the calm after the storm, the quiet after the chaos, and the space of healing. Ruled by the element earth, Taurus provides us with the energy needed to ground ourselves and integrate our experiences.
This lunar event directs us to honor the soil and our planet. It's an excellent time to acknowledge and communicate with nature spirits and to seek the silence in any outdoor setting. See if you can hear them, see if you can sense the heartbeat from Mother Earth. Be one with the core of existence and seek to understand your place in this grand spiritual design. The Zodiac bull rules the realms of work and money, security and self-worth, as well as possessions. One of Taurus' “lessons” revolves around comfort and contentedness. Question to evaluate for yourself; When was the last time I truly felt content and comfortable? This is a time to uncomplicate our lives. So, set your intention to embrace your delicious, abundant self and why not also enjoy a little dessert. After all, life should be lived! ~ Christine K.H The full moon in Libra calls for a relationship check-in, urging us to play fair and find harmony. With a close aspect to Chiron, healing in relationships is possible at this time—most importantly, the one that you have with yourself.
Libra, is known as the communication expert, teaching us to mediate in refined ways. So, how well do we connect with others, especially if they are socially, culturally or politically and religiously different than us? Perhaps a starting point could be to begin talking WITH each other instead of ABOUT each other. Under this lunar light you probably desire to keep things "nice" rather than venturing into fundamental questions that might disturb the peace. But you must learn to share your good and bad feelings, and do not be afraid to be who you really are, despite what is expected of you. This diplomatic sign does not look for harshness but will not cave for issues emerging. The question asked is simple: Do you keep others happy or yourself? ~ Christine K.H Theme: Re-evaluate your relationship with yourself.
At their core, new moons are quiet periods before a phase of growth or regrowth. However this one is a solar eclipse, and in the fiery firstborn of the Zodiac, Aries, so the energy is direct, powerful, even in some ways harsh. Aries is all about the self, our inner authority, our sovereignty and autonomy. Reminding us that we are our own boss. To straighten that crown and get back on the throne, and to not forget for whom we are living our lives. With the spotlight on independence, authenticity and action, ask yourself:
This is also a time to evaluate if you choose your battles wisely. Sometimes, it’s smart to throw in the towel - you’re done, and the energy you expended is never gonna pay off. Today the Universe is saying: Write your own story now. I believe in you! ~ Christine K.H ~ Mercury rules over all types of communication, whether it is writing, speaking, reading, social media interactions, communication technology, or any other method of transmitting information. It also rules transportation and travels, and during Mercury retrograde periods, there are more noticeable disruptions, breakdowns, and complications within all of these areas.
This time Mercury retrogrades in Aries and back into Pisces, where it will meet up with Neptune, Venus (also retrograde), the north node and last but not least - Saturn. Mercury in Aries is super to-the-point and when communication goes wack it can be an uncomfortable experience for everyone. To avoid frustrations, try to listen to others and communicate more thoroughly instead of getting angry. Mental discipline is a must to avoid any boiling conflicts. The mind goes into a swaying mode and there can be a tendency to jump into conclusions without any forewarning or thought. There can be temper outbursts and nervous disorders, so again - practice mindfulness is key. When in the sign of Pisces a shift in our emotions and soul awareness is prominent. The retrograde Mercury in Pisces is not the best influence for composing lengthy strategies. Whenever we fall under the spell of Pisces we become slightly dreamy, which makes us just want to stare off into space for hours on end. So be aware that during this retrograde period, conversations may have a way of drifting into strange and surreal territory. Facts could be hard to hold on to and your memory may be less dependable than normal. But not all is awry. Mercury in backspin makes us revisit projects and ideas, directing us from the human mind to the soul mind for improvement and alignment of our walk through life. And there it is! ~ Christine K.H ~ Eclipses bring breakthroughs and close or open new chapters. Virgo is a slightly complexed sign, carrying two very different qualities. Her highest vibration is healing and service, whereas the other easily falls into worrying thoughts, being overly critical to herself and others.
The energy now exposes where we have been micromanaging our lives to the point of exhaustion. If you have been pushing yourself into unrealistic expectations, this eclipse could help release that pressure. When we release, we heal, but with Saturn in the mix, it is not just about letting go, it’s about stepping up. Saturn demands accountability and responsibility, making us confront the reality of our dreams, so we are not just drifting in a sea of idealism without an anchor. With Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, also going retrograde tomorrow, together with Venus already in backspin, our inner compass will be crucial to navigate the month of March and April. Virgo moon guidelines:
~ Christine K.H In astrology, Venus is the planet of pleasure, romance, money and creativity. Her placement in our chart can also show how we socialize...or not. Venus describes by sign, house, and aspect both what we find attractive and how we go about attracting it.
A planet in retrograde motion represents something that is symbolically, and astronomically, something anomalous, weird or something that stands out because it goes against the norm. Because Venus is a personal planet tasked with integral parts of our personality and psyche, the effects of Venus retrograde in the natal chart are far more profound, then let's say the outer planets. What to expect?
Venus retrogrades in the same signs with a 8 year cycle and this is a repeat from spring 2017 and 2009. So, look back; what did you work on then? What occurred in your social life and in your relationships? Venus will start her retrograde her retrograde journey on March 1st at 10 degrees Aries, and she'll end it April 12th at 24 degrees Pisces. For personal information, look in your own chart for planets or points within this realm. On an interesting note; Mercury will copycat Venus by turning retrograde, March 14th and by returning to Pisces, near the same time. It makes me think of a love (Venus) letter (Mercury). However, with both in backspin, it might arrive a little late. ~ Christine K.H ~ A new moon in Pisces, the sign of deep feelings and the inner psyche, reminds us to dream big and to listen within. Pisces people know no bounds or limits, and their mutable energy allows them to thrive off change, chance and transformation.
Being the Zodiac’s twelfth and final sign, Pisces is associated with reincarnation and the afterlife, with a strong connection to the other side. This new moon brings some of those questions to light: - Have we lived before, and could it be that we choose our life events circumstances? - What is the meaning of Deja Vu and cell-memories, and what are they really telling us? The Pisces moon today encourages us all to reflect on the importance of surrender and to forgive - others as well as ourselves. So, open your mind to see where in your life two seemingly opposite or different things can be true. While Pisces rules the oceans and seas, this lunar event will also put a spotlight on the need to protect and share our planet’s water. As you travel through the vibration of compassion, healing and higher sensibilities, dream of what you want to see in your current life and the next. Then, breath in the spirit of Pisces and act from your highest source. ~ Christine K.H As the full moon falls in confident, fun-loving and big-hearted Leo, you can expect to feel more empowered and optimistic. Now you are reminded that it is indeed your right to take up space.
Leos are the lead actors of the Zodiac, harnessing the kind of leadership skills, bravery, and magnetic personalities that grant them the front spotlight on any stage. Questions asked: Are you the leading actor in your life? Do you really allow yourself to shine? Here are some other topics lit up: courage, issues of love, how we are creative and the risks we are taking in life. With Valentine's Day coming up, take a relationship inventory or take a chance on someone/something. This lunar event joins up with Mercury, the planet of communication, giving us a direct pipeline to our emotions. The drumroll of the day is: Speak up or perhaps even roar, then release through laughter, pure will and from the HEART - the Leo way! ~ Christine K.H The timing of this lunar phase feels cosmically ordained. With the potent Aquarius energy, and with Pluto the Transformer here, we have the chance to make huge progressive changes in our lives.
Aquarius holds the energy of revolution, innovation and awakenings, bringing with it new ideas, new ambitions, and the gift of seeing ourselves in one another. Acting for change and the collective might be crucial now, but remember, no person is an island. So, think of ways that you can connect to your community and loved ones around you. This is a time to radically upgrade our thought process by activating the higher mind, our so-called soul mind, and to see life-events and circumstances for what they really are. Humanitarian efforts, hopeful visions and brainstorming are all things in the mix, as are our friendships. Ask yourself: What change, upgrades or endings do I seek to elevate my human experience? Ruled by Uranus, the planet known for causing things to shift at random and in a way that no one expected, changes now might be sudden or even dramatic. The drumroll of the day is: Ride the freedom movement and be proud of your part in the New Age! ~ Christine K.H |
