By The Light of the Moon

The Full Moon on March 9, 2020 will occur in sidereal Leo in the lunar star of Uttara Phalguni symbolized by a hammock, representing kindness, patronage, bringing community together and helping those in need. This full moon ends Mercury’s journey retrograde. As Mercury stations direct on March 9, things will start to pick up speed. The moon will shine on our next steps forward and Mercury will be the wind beneath our wings. It will bring intense revelations in media, followed by swift repercussions.

There’s never a dull moment when the full moon in Leo shines on Mercury as it stations direct in sidereal Aquarius on the same day. The zodiac sign of Leo can represent leaders, presidents, government and authority. The light of this full moon may shine on the hidden agendas of leaders of countries, state officials, as well as authorities in our work place.

Leo is a fixed fire sign, giving rise to stubbornness and ego, but can also ignite enthusiasm, adventure and passion. Events that unfold during this time may inspire community to come together in the spirit of unity. If there was something you were wondering about personally or globally or were seeking answers to a conundrum, the time is ripe for solutions to arise now. May the Divine Mother (Moon), shine her light on the dark corners of our world and bring peace to our hearts and minds collectively and personally.

The New Moon on March 23, 2020 will occur in sidereal Pisces the lunar star of Uttarabhadrapada, represented by a funeral cot (bed) and symbolic of the renunciation of worldly possessions. This is a time to realize our true essence is stardust and spirit, and we are merely borrowing a physical body in this lifetime to learn more about love and who we truly are. With this awareness, it’s a great time to start a new philanthropic project, job or pioneer something you’ve always dreamed of. If you are not sure what new thing to do, then simply become and embody the change you wish to see in the world.

Pisces is watery, dreamy and expansive, inspiring us to reach our fullest potential individually and globally. Dreams can come true. The moon will be at the same degree as the proverbial serpent in the sky we call the Nodes, specifically Rahu (head) and Ketu (tail). When the Nodes are at the same degree of any planet or star, this can give rise to massive transformation and purification in our lives and in the world. Why not immerse yourself in a green juice, one-day cleanse, try a vegan diet for one week and head to the local yoga studio or gym to take advantage of all the newness that surrounds us? Spring is a great time to remove winter toxins from our body with a therapeutic warm oil massage, then make an appointment for professional colon hydrotherapy and make space in your body for new beginnings. Remember, we are all in this together and all is well in the universe.

The difference between the tropical zodiac and the sidereal zodiac is about 23 degrees. Both systems have value. Sidereal astrologers believe the qualities of the signs are not related to the seasons, but rather to the specific portions of the ecliptic as measured against the fixed lunar stars.
