March 2008 Overview
from a Soul centered point of view
By Carol Barbeau
The month of March has always been known as the time for Passion and Action. Thus this month is named for the Planet Mars who is now VERY happy to finally be moving onwards after a 3 month shadow and retrograde path. On March 4th Mars enters Cancer where it began this path in December 2007 and will be out of the SHADOW by the 23rd, Of this month. Meanwhile Emotions are strong This month and we are all questioning our path, and how we feel about things in our life. SO if this is going on for you? You are in the GROOVE:
Mercury retrograde last month is still in the same shadow point until Mid month so issues with Mars (action) and Mercury (ideas) for some of Us may still be processing within our souls and minds and not quite ready for birth. Do not Push it. This month carries some REAL magic if we access it during meditation, Dreams, or intentions. The Flow is here, we just have to quit fighting it.
Happy BIRTHDAY Pisces and Aries as we enter your soul contract time Colors for March are Red for passion and Green for healing Stones are Bloodstone and Aquamarine for the same Flowers are Daffodil and Jonquils and creatures are COUGAR and Sea Crow and AN BEGINNING of a NEW era is upon us as we begin signing new soul contracts And take on the task of beginning a new world during the REAL 2008 NEW YEAR as the SUN MOVES TO ARIES ON the 19th and the Astrological year begins.
March 19th 10:49pm here in Seattle Washington as the Sun enters the FIRST sign of the zodiac Aries and we enter the time of the EAST, the time of Illumination and Wisdom. The time of spring. AND the VERNAL Equinox. Happy New Year:
March is the 3rd month of a number 1 year making this a number 4 month Of security and we are all surely since January 1st looking at money issues, and how to have more and be safer aren’t we?
Well, what you are feeling is A GRAND TRINE OF EARTH energy which is asking us to BUILD and we have been taught that building needs Money haven’t we? What does building need more of than money? I believe, and I BELIEVE is the theme of the Sun in Pisces until the 19th… I believe that we need to KNOW WE CAN DO IT, to feel it, to smell it, to taste it and have NO DOUBT and those are the people Who get the money they need and the help we must have to continue our work.
IN February and again in August of this year we have eclipses in the sign of Aquarius asking us to Change patterns of thoughts and create it first within our minds and then move it to our hearts and then it will become real. With 7 planets in Aquarius for the last eclipses in February we are all still carrying this change ideas energy strongly into this month.
The key to handling the new energy is truly believing in yourself, as we enter the time of “I AM” As the Sun enters Aries on the 19th…We do become what we think we are so I AM ___ statements are POWERFUL now. It is Only by processing values (Values to me are what I PUT energy into, so the saying ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES has surely been repeating itself in my mind this month) that we truly see what it is that we are making happen in our lives. We need to ask ourselves
“Are my thoughts and actions in alignment with what I think my values are?” OR are we needing to readjust a bit.
The sun shifting from Pisces into Aries is helping to push us towards the courage to move forward on the 19th .. PUSHING us forward into action and TRULY moving us into 2008 since the universe does believe that when the Sun enters ARIES we really begin the New Year.
The new Moon on March 7th at 9:14am here in Seattle is in the I BELIEVE Sign of Pisces, asking us to further increase the energy of knowing it can happen. Uranus the planet of change in Pisces also says, BELIEVE, make the changes needed to bring it into reality and let this next 2 weeks bring your beliefs to you.
This month the 5th (DARK OF THE MOON magic wish days or Balsamic moon) With the moon touching ideas, love and intuition, and the 6th as the moon enters Pisces setting up the new moon , these days begin a NEW POWER time…. On the 7th, 8th and 9th we garner even more POWER as we have a New moon (time of increase on the 7th) . On the 8th The sun and Uranus come together to help us create a dream and then make the changes necessary to bring it into manifestation. On the 9th as we switch to Daylight Savings time here in Seattle. Mercury still in Aquarius moving through that Retrograde path from last month touches Neptune (Divine inspiration) and Reconnection with divine love and our path is here. These are surely days to meditate, pray, make intentions and Create magic for yourself. So truly this month we have a wonderful and energized 5 days of tremendous magic.
For Love energy, (and love is anything we like isn’t it) Venus (the planet of earthly love and manifesting) is in the Air (ideas) sign of Aquarius until the 12th . Venus will be giving us more options and we will be more willing to shift and change and open to new people until the 12th.
After the 12th as Venus Enters the sign of Pisces, the vision, and the dream become stronger and we are more able to CREATE within our mind and heart and then manifest it in dreams. Venus in Pisces is the dream but we can all make our dreams come true can’t we by intention and putting energy into that dream.
Venus into Aries April 5th on that NEW MOON day SETS off the shot heard round the world and we can all then take that dream we created and GO For it. OR you can go for it right now if you choose. Remember we create reality by what we believe don’t we.
Saturn retrograde all month in Virgo is helping us to get ideas, goals and define Our reality and a part of the GRAND trine of Earth energy.
Ceres, unconditional love in Taurus is trying to anchor you into the reality that you can have what you love, and Jupiter and Pluto in Capricorn are SUPER SIZING our wish list. Where these planets are traveling is a HUGE energy in your life opening you to ALL the wonders that you really want for the next 2 and ½ years.
AND if you want something, you work for it, right? You make plans, and you Tell others, so that you open those doors to allow others to help and to help to allow it to come don’t you?
Please, Be open to change, be ready to see the goal and then unfocus your eyes and intents, as that goal ahead can be so much more than you could ever imagine with this energy if you are willing to hold it like a butterfly and let it unfold your destiny …No pushing or shoving please, the flow of the current is more powerful than you could do on your own, so lets ride this wave together.
Namaste and Love to you all,
Carol Barbeau
