6 March 2018
As we enter March we enter into the start of “fire season”.  Astrologically we are now moving into the final days of the 2017 zodiac year, with a new year starting when the Sun moves into Aries on 21 March.  Although we are not quite there yet, the energy has started – like a fire in our bellies – to prompt us to begin moving forward and to put into action what we wish to now happen in our lives.
It is a good idea at this time, to take this energy you are feeling and turn it into passion and motivation for what you most deeply believe in and wish to manifest in your lives.  This does not mean it’s time to wish upon a star and wait for a miracle.  It is more a time to move forward, carefully focussing on only what you have worked hard on to date, and where you have a true and honest awareness of what your goals are.   All that hard work you have put into your dreams and goals, now has the green light to move forward.  But you do need to be wary of this fiery energy that can inspire you so much that you run the risk of ignoring important details, and fast tracking things that still need your attention.  For so long as Saturn is in Capricorn (until December 2020) it is VERY important to realise that we must work within structures that are real and that are cast in concrete, or any advances we make will not last the distance.  Remember, these are your dreams for the future and for what you truly wish to happen in your life that you are instigating at this time, so treat them all with care and devotion and leave no stone unturned in the basic construction of all that you wish to manifest.
Mercury Retrograde is not far away, 23 March – 15 April 2018, and so NOW is the time, if you are truly ready, to sign important documents, negotiate contracts and make major purchases.  Such things are NEVER a good idea when Mercury is in Retrograde motion – but I will remind you all about this closer to the time.
For now, the more important Retrograde for you all to be aware of is the turning of the planet Jupiter from Direct to Retrograde motion in Scorpio on 8 March.  Jupiter is a very large planet and so any movement he makes is always significant and always brings major developments both globally and personally.  As this powerful planet of manifestation and growth moves through intense and secretive Scorpio energy, he is uncovering, revealing and bringing to the surface all that is buried, hidden or swept under the carpet.  I feel globally we can expect a lot more revelations of sexual inappropriateness, discrimination and anything else that goes against the basic human rights of all who reside here.  On a more personal level, wherever Scorpio energy sits in your Natal Chart is where you are being asked to delve deeper, direct more rational thought and let go of anything that encourages you to think badly of yourself or, that is not in line with your highest purpose in this lifetime.  During this Jupiter Retrograde period it is a great time to practise objectively analysing all that you are feeling – especially those feelings that you don’t like or don’t wish to explore – so as you can make sense of them, accept them as a part of you and then make peace with this shift in energy. Jupiter in Scorpio wants you to go deep within yourself because just as there are fears hidden there, there are also hidden treasures too, that you can, under this influence,  admit to yourself and bring out of yourself to become an important part of your life.
Deep within you are the fears you have buried as well as the gifts you have not acknowledged – accept all of these and set them free
 Jupiter in Retrograde is a gift to us all, an opportunity to go deep within ourselves to heal old wounds, face old fears and embrace hidden talents.  In doing so we activate deep transformation of our old ways and beliefs, and with the help of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn we do it once, we do it well and we do it to last the distance.  Blessings xox
