There is a New Moon in the beginning degrees of Pisces that starts off this season, and this is an exceptionally powerful planetary configuration with Venus just entering into Aries and Mars aspecting Trickster Uranus. Jupiter in Aries opposes exactly the newly discovered planet beyond Pluto, Makemake, and this implies expanded awareness of an innate feeling within our psyche of what is true for us emotionally and makes good moral sense. The other one of these new Nature planets, Haumea, currently located in the first degree of Scorpio, is trined by the Sun and Moon. All this amounts to a spiritually motivated season when we will be getting closer to understanding the forces that drive us from deep inside, and that contribute to getting a head start on understanding our deepest principles of right action and right relationship as we grow.

It is also possible that inner wounding will come up, as indicated by the highlighted presence of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, in Aries, aspected by Mercury in the New Moon, by Venus at the beginning of March, and by Jupiter in the mid-season Full Moon of 7 March. Chiron refers to somewhat dysfunctional patterns of behavior, the residue of ancient trauma, likely suppressed and buried away, and these can feel angsty when they arise. Still, their coming to greater consciousness represents a powerful opportunity for healing our issues. The recipe here is to pay the closest possible attention, exercising lovingkindness in accepting ourselves from top to bottom, including these flaws.

The other strong factor at the Full Moon, and in the potent Last Quarter Moon a week later, taking place late on the 14th, or early morning the 15th in Europe, is an emphasis on Uranus in Taurus. The Trickster will show up as unexpected revelations that challenge previous conceptions, together with surprising events. In the Quarter Moon as well, the new planet Eris is also highlighted, aspected by the Sun, Moon, Mars, and Neptune. Eris, Feminine Warrior in support of soul intention, beckons us to act on the urgings of our deepest convictions, and on nothing else.


ARIES (20 Mar. – 19 Apr.). This is another fascinating season for you, Aries, when there are many introspective and meaningful astrological currents tugging at you. Relationship considerations come into this, and after 1 March, inner wounding in connection with partners.

These are questions that you will want to be asking yourself, and often, in the weeks ahead. Your wounding originated in forgotten trauma, and is healed by present-day attention being paid. A Trickster archetype within you throws unexpected outcomes, and the 14 March Quarter Moon may bring these matters to a head.

TAURUS (20 Apr. – 19 May). This is a season of social connection, Taurus, with a touch of inner work. After 1 March there is a whisper of inner wounding from deep inside your mind.

GEMINI (20 May. – 20 Jun.). You are in for another interesting season, Gemini, with a focus right from the start on career and profession.

SAGITTARIUS (22 Nov. – 20 Dec.). This is another creative season for you, Sagittarius, because of new developments with the progress of Jupiter, your ruler, through your self-expression sector. You are beginning a new phase of development where what comes up for you from the deep interior of your psyche is increasingly important in planning your pathway forward.

AQUARIUS (20 Jan. – 17 Feb.). This is a season, Aquarius, of delving within for your own most sincere principle and values.

The very end of February is significant for beginning to sort things out, while the Full Moon of 7 March represents a powerful time of realignment. Your own internal moral compass, that still, small voice within, can eventually form the basis for what you are saying and even doing.

PISCES (18 Feb. – 19 Mar.). This is your season, Pisces, as you begin to show up in an entirely new way based on the accumulated emotional wisdom of the past two months. The New Moon at the very start is the evidence for that; plus the connection of your co-ruler, Jupiter, to planetary archetypes of depth connection and interior moral compass holding increasingly greater sway upon your thinking. The Full Moon of 7 March, and as well the Quarter Moon one week later, make for a vision of self and other that transcends previous relationship dynamics, contributing to your spiritual evolution. You begin acting from exclusively your own deep values.
