March 1st thru April 30th 2008 astro-deepak@usa.net
MOOD OF THE MOMENT. The Big Picture: The first week in March is an explosive Pluto/Moon opposite Mars configuration. I don't know what explodes or where. I can see the quality of the energy, but not which one of many ways it can be expressed. I will guess all five ways and it will come out number six I didn't think about, but it fits. I am a lousy predictor. I should have been a weatherman. The Personal Picture: There is some really sweet energy happening in Aquarius and all the air signs get a loving boost. There is some other strong energy happening that gives a surge of voltage and the cardinal signs get a shock. Uranus transit gives all the mutable signs a sudden change and unpredictable circumstances. Same planet, different worlds. ARIES. Moody, moody. Try to figure it out and back to moody again. Issues at work and with home. Some patience would help, but you were not born with any. You are just not genetically engineered to wait or stand in line. Martial arts might help or at least go jogging or punch the pillow. Mars transit. Pluto transit. Put all that energy into your work and change this world please. Good energy to have friends and fellow travelers around you and work toward a common goal each in his own way. Keep on moving. TAURUS. It is all about friends, partners, associates, companions, fellow travelers for you now. Forget about the cave. This is a time for meeting and sharing. Share the sunset with others. Share your thoughts and feelings with others. Be with the Tribe. Be the 'We' for awhile to come closer to the 'I'. It is learning to love yourself through loving others. It is about the meaning of life being that which makes you laugh, love and feel good. Talk talk, share share, find a friend, make a friend, keep a friend, be a friend. GEMINI. This period of time starts off in a dream and it ends in a dream. This is not just a metaphor. Look around you now. It is guaranteed what you see is not real. You can't even prove that you are real. It is an illusion, but there is a trick to every illusion, as every magician knows. The trick is to find out how that illusion operates. What is it if it is not what your eyes see? What does your mind do to make it look that way. Go to google and study magic tricks and the seven ways of self deception. The truth shall set you free. CANCER. Feeling a little bitchy lately? Moody, impatient, frustrated, short tempered? That's understandable. Mars has been going back and forth in Cancer and sometimes Gemini and then Cancer again since October 2007. It doesn't get out of Cancer until of May 2008. That's 7 months of an adrenalized emotional system. That's an unusually long time and it gets kind of irritating sometimes. You get angry or others get angry with you. Good time for Dynamic or just running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Forget about Vipassana for now. LEO. Good to remember that you are helpless, hopeless and there is no choice. It is only temporary, but it lasts long enough to learn the path to self-fulfillment. This is how you do it. It is one of many jokes of the gods that the path to feeling full is to empty yourself along the way. Empty Your Self. Run the needle down to E. Forget about the 'I' for now. Fade your Ego and fade your pride. Forget about what you want for you for now. Put your empty self into the shoes and heart of the Other. Lose your self to feel your self. VIRGO. This is a time when others like you more than you like yourself. Self-judgment now. Saturn transit. Holding back and putting down. Every mistake you have ever made since the age of 2 comes back to haunt you in your dreams and the imposing image of your own imperfect self puts itself in front of your face. Take it easy with the self-criticism my friend or the gods might think you don't believe in what they are doing or you might be re-incarnated as a German or Chinese. You have the right to be here as you are with no explanations or excuses necessary. LIBRA. Half the generals of WWII were Libras. They went to war to make a peace. Sometimes you have to do that. Kids will be kids and take each others toys and sometimes somebody has got to get in there and straighten things out. It is a challenge for you now to bring some peace and harmony into this world and there is a deep, deep duality involved. Sometimes it takes a beast to make a Buddha and it takes a lot of mud for the lotus to grow. Do not be afraid to get your hands dirty to make things clean. SCORPIO. You can learn through books, you can learn through watching, you can learn through listening, and you can learn through doing. Best way for you to learn now is through just simply dying. The Cheyenne Sioux that wiped out Custer were born to be warriors. They would not surrender. When surrounded and outnumbered by the enemy, they would get off their horse, pull out their tomahawk, look their enemy in the eye, and say, "It's a good day to die". Crisis is your friend because that is when you are at your best. Let's hope that you can find one. SAGITTARIUS. Duality between putting your feet on the ground or taking a trip to the Moon. Duality between the practical and the ideal, between what needs to be done and what could be done. Maybe you do your duty and do your job to make the money to feed the wolf. Maybe you have already done your duty and have the money to feed the Buddha. Work issues and money issues are at hand. The relationship issue has told its tale and there is this restless feeling to see how green the grass is on the other side of the fence. CAPRICORN. My first thought looking at your transits was that I wouldn't want to be in your shoes and then I remembered I am also a Capricorn and I even wear the same size. Let us say that this is a time when we come out with our power and meet the irresistible force. Pluto went into Capricorn just now until 2025. It is the slowest moving of all the planets. It moves slow so it can go deep enough to change our lives. It starts now with a Bang and ends with a Buddha. Good to get out your old Boy Scout manuals and re-learn how to start a fire without a match. AQUARIUS. Love one, love all, love anything that moves. Love in, love out, love above, love below, love all around. Yours is an impersonal love, love without object. It is love itself and what or who is loved is not the point. Afterall, everything in the universe is made out of little building bricks of bliss and you are at a point in life now where you can feel it flowing in waves all at the same time. The material world is not your concern now and the daily duties are secondary. Remember to love who you were in the past also. PISCES. Such a fish you are, swimming upstream and downstream at the same time. Many contradictory forces in your life now. Uranus in Pisces says be free and be yourself and do your own thing. Saturn opposite Pisces brings judgment and says be alone. In the background is a ticking clock that says quit your group or quit that friend that gives you such a trouble. The lovingness of your nature is always there, but the time now calls for you to do things in a different way, to travel a path of unpredictability to a destination you have never seen before. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
