 March will come in with a few lion like energies I’m afraid, instead of those of the lamb. The 1st is a wee bit depressing. This is not a strong energy, and nothing is likely to sneak up on you, it will be something you knew was creeping on your doorstep. Any payments you have to make on the 1st could feel more onerous than usual. To venture further along these lines, if you do find yourself in a difficulty with regard to meeting monetary obligations, you may be able to fall back on an older person in your life, probably a female. But you need to be ready for an “I told you so” moment or a lecture on being more responsible if you do go this route. Some people really know how to contribute to a bad situation don’t they? Fortunately once we make it through the first few days of the month, there are much better possibilities for some of us. On the 5th Venus will move into one of the signs it rules, Taurus. This is a very natural kind of energy and it can bring those who have practical ideals good luck and opportunities for financial success. The 6th can bring a lovely memory to our hearts, or maybe even a sweet, romantic gesture from someone whom you have secret feelings for, or could have feelings for if the rest of the “stars” align in both your natal charts. The 13th is a very big day, give or take several days on either side, because Jupiter and Pluto will meet in a big sloppy kiss. There are a number of transits from the moon, also trines, on the 13th, as well as a trine between Venus and Pluto (love affair, forbidden alliance transit). If you have been involved in a romance solely based on financial motive, or if you are dating someone who has been seeing someone on the side, this day could be especially illuminating. This configuration can also bring about financial catastrophe. Trines often set us up for situations we can’t handle, even though we thought we could and told everyone else how fabulous we were. [awkward] Grandiosity, over optimism and arrogance are the bane of Jupiter/Pluto configurations. These two heavy hitting planets can bring about overestimation in ability and/or extreme extravagance. I would not be giving you all of these dire warnings and would focus entirely on the wonderful potentials if it weren’t for the fact there is such a huge build-up of extreme opportunistic energy. For along with the above mentioned transits, the 14th has a few more to add to the mix. On the 14th we will have trines between Venus and Jupiter and Mars, as well as trines from Mars to Jupiter and Pluto. So, this is a Huge planetary “trigger” for whatever is set to happen in your life with relation to the major Jupiter/Pluto trine. If you have been living beyond your means or following a path that is incorrect, it is likely you will be reined in now. Taken alone, these types of faster moving configurations often have to do with overexertion and extreme feats of physical acumen, as well as those of electrifying physical attraction and the thrill of love. Consequently, this can conjure up some interesting times. Many people will receive the positive results of these energies, and they will know for certain that the Universe wishes to bless them, and bless them well! Some who have endured peril and hardship will be given the go ahead to “rest on their laurels” from this point forward. Think of the people who own a huge amount of interest in a company that goes public, like Facebook just has. They are not overnight sensations, they have been working towards this for some time, and now they will reap rewards for all their efforts and good judgment in contributing to the next new "megafad". This can happen on a smaller scale as well, and in any number of other areas, though finances will be the most probable due to the propensity for Jupiter and Pluto configurations to be about money. Combine this with Venus moving into Taurus, which is definitely materialistic ad nauseum when taken in its less evolved forms, the deck is stacked for a financial target. If you have been out of a job and at the end of your rope, you can hear of a wonderful opportunity, and could perhaps be contacted by a person of influence who can give you a chance to work at the job of your dreams: And make the kind of money you deserve. This energy can also be a harbinger of an epic love affair. Imagine the most romantic and breathtaking love story and take it up a notch. This is not a grouping of energy signatures to be taken lightly. Whatever happens in your lives at this time will be significant, certain and profound. After midmonth, the energies calm down into the doldrums. Which is fine, because we will likely all need a moment to catch our breath and deal with the consequences of the Jupiter/Pluto trine and the family of other tries bombarding us anyway. If you do happen to be someone who receives the negative potentials from this potent energy, just know that the Universe is opening up new avenues for you. If you must say your good-byes to someone, it is only because you have things to do that require you do them alone, or with someone new. No door closes in this life without another opening (even if it is the big one into the great beyond). You will hopefully come to understand the reasons for the things you find unreasonable. Still yet, you must persevere and find your new life. When Pluto takes something away, it is usually something that was stunting our growth, but he always brings us something better in the wake of our destitution. I hope that everyone who reads this receives the wonderful possibilities for this energy and finds financial opportunity, as well as the love of their lives, even if it is the same old love you’ve maintained for what seems like forever. Jupiter trining Pluto is all about forever and the depth of connection that is found when we can love with vision and a mutual belief or a common goal, such as that of raising a family. Freedom also comes with this energy, as does the opportunity to drink a toast to new love/money/purpose, found love/money/purpose and connections that seem beyond time. Cheers!  Happy Valentine’s Day! We have some major assistance in the romance department as February commences. On the 3rd Neptune, planet of romance, devotion, whimsy and the ideal will move comfortably into its own sign of Pisces. This is a wondrous coup for humanity when taken in its sublime perfection and manifested in only positive means. Boundless connections with our fellow mortals are harkened into being along the ethers of all things Neptunian, so for those attuned to the subtle nuances of life this planetary movement will be quite enlightening and enthralling. You can read more about it in my article Neptune into Pisces. Of course, just as we get Neptune squared away and happily entwined with its own sign, Saturn is going to move retrograde on the 7th until June 26th. Saturn is always a bit of a downer, and being retrograde doesn’t help its disposition. Saturn is currently in Libra, the sign of the executive and indicative of leadership and discipline. This is a good time for those in supervisory positions to take a more reticent stance in the administration of their work duties: Perhaps putting someone else on their staff that shows great promise front and center for a while so they can catch up on a backlog of some sort. Those in long established partnerships will need to regroup and do a little research about how to best move forward from this point. People with Saturn prominent in their chart may not feel like working extraordinarily hard during this retrograde and if they are lucky they will have a partner who can take up the slack for them. Partnerships may go through difficulties with some potential for a formal separation or permanent split. Don’t give up on any relationship, either business or personal, until after Saturn goes direct in June. Save some hope to make things right again this summer. For those who are not looking forward to the upcoming holiday of love, you might be surprised by a spontaneous offering of love on the 9th. This could come in the form of an offer for a date which occurs rather serendipitously or maybe by running into a love from your past. This isn’t a strong energy, but one which can bring laughter and happiness from an unexpected quarter. The rest of the month looks rather quiet, with perhaps a little bit of fallout for those who don’t do justice to their Valentine on the 15th and 18th. Remember that 2012 is a Leap Year and we will have an extra day this month. Anecdotally, according “Blum’s Farmer’s and Planter’s Almanac, there will be 53 Sundays (there are usually 52) and there will also be three Friday the 13ths, whereas there is normally only one.
