Moon Breathes

The big news is that Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces this afternoon (or evening on the east coast) until March 9th. This brings a time for re-visiting and re-thinking, for resting our active minds and allowing intuition to guide us, for learning to articulate that which has been unspeakable. There’s a deep dreaming calling us as we slow down. During this time, we re-approach, from a different angle, the new story we’re learning to live. Sun moves into Pisces on Tuesday, and next weekend’s New Moon is in Pisces. All joining Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) in Pisces. On a very personal level, we are learning to actively rest, and to ride the big energies of life, rather than pushing and making happen with our own energies.

Also today, Mars moves into Capricorn (joining the Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn work party in Capricorn). Our physical embodiment in creating and making, in taking action is strong and slow and steady now. Having the will to do the work is what we’re learning. This is different than pushing ourselves, or imposing our will. This is a time of simply doing what we’re doing, and letting it take however long it takes. At the end of this week, Mars trines Uranus and squares Chiron. Allowing ourselves the pleasures of embodiment is revolutionary and healing!

Jupiter in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces becomes exact later this week (and is strongly present this week and next). There is great positive potentiality for creatively reconciling the energies of slow steady work in the world and dreamy intuitive merging with spirit. We can become something real beyond what we’ve imagined. This involves taking action from a different place in our beings than we have been.

Just a few days are left in this Moon wave, as we synch with rhythms and cycles, then (starting Wednesday) the breath of spirit moves as Wind, breathing through us, becoming our speech & song, our lived prayer in every moment. The magic of what we speak into life is our freedom expressed. This is not about intention. This is learning to speak with Life as Life!
