Your Weekly Forecast 3/23-3/29

This week we have a New Moon in Aries on Tuesday the 24th.

Every day right now feels long, slow and like things are progressively getting worse in the US. It is hard to see the future clearly, and we may have some doubts or anxieties as we see our governments overriding the law to make decisions quickly about this pandemic.

For all of us watching at home, we struggle with how to be good and compassionate neighbors, friends, and family members, during a time where we are being asked to stay home and away from each other. I have had many difficult conversations with many different people about where we all stand. This is incredibly hard on many people's relationships, mental health, physical health, and finances. What I have found is that gratitude continues to be extremely beneficial to my own psyche and I urge anyone out there who might be reading this, no matter who you are or what you are facing, to find it in the smallest places.

I thought today how the reality of potentially losing my car, my home, and everything I have worked so hard for, could come true if my husband and I are unable to get work during all of this. I have been trying really hard to stay optimistic about online sales, online readings, but people are not really booking with me right now, and I totally get it, we are all financially under strain. My husband is unable to work currently due to the service industry being put on hold right now, and we are just hoping we can get on the other side of this without losing the house we just bought.

When I was thinking about all of this today, I realized that for most of my life I have had nothing to my name. I spent most of my life not owning a car or a house, and that I was fine. I didn't have the internet until about 6 years ago, I had an old phone up until 4 years ago, and I was fine. I realized that I was worried more about my own ego being bruised and what it would be like having to lose everything in front of friends, family, colleagues and clients. And I realized that it had to do with my own ego, more than whether or not I could get through it. This is a great example of what we will be working through with Chiron in Aries, and with the Moon in Aries making aspects to both our Sun and Chiron. We are having to face the ego we want to hold onto, that we have built, that may not be something we can hold onto any longer. Even if I lost all of these things I worked for, that it would be ok. I would find a way to get through it. And I would start over and build again in whatever way I could, and that even if I only had this life for a small amount of time, it was great while it lasted. And knowing that I could have that outlook, and that perspective, without feeling victimized about my circumstances, alone was empowering.

I am hopeful and optimistic that it won't come to that, but I also am trying to prepare myself for the fact that it could be a reality I have to face.It is important right now that we face what really matters in life, and let go of what the ego of the self wants to hold onto out of fear. Fear can induce panic, poor decision making, and break friendships and relationships with loved ones. Let us not base our decisions out of fear, but out of love that we can get through this isolation period getting to know ourselves in deeper ways.

Let us not project our fear and insecurities onto everyone or everything else to justify feelings of victimization.

It is time to step into a more empowering role and find our own leadership, our own authority, our own guiding light within the self.

Moon in Pisces

Moon sextile Jupiter in Capricorn 4:20 am

Moon sextile Pluto in Capricorn 7:18 am

Moon void of course  sextile Mars in Capricorn 7:51

Moon enters Aries 5:58 pm

Moon sextile Saturn in Aquarius 6:15 pm

Starting the week out with our morning with the Moon in Pisces, we may feel extremely sensitive to the energies around us. We have a lot of creative energy in the early morning hours with the Moon making sextiles to our heavy hitters in Capricorn. We also are susceptible to illusions and fantasies about what is really real. We could be blowing things out of proportion, or not able to see things clearly for what they are.

With our Moon entering Aries in the evening, we could feel a lot of tension beginning to boil under the surface. We may have a lot of frustration over things not going the way we want them to right now. As we prepare for our New Moon in Aries, trying to see ourselves, and who we are in the world could be hard. We may be ready to define a new chapter in our lives, but it could be through facing parts of ourselves that we are uncomfortable with that we find that self.

Tuesday 3/24

New Moon in Aries 4 degrees 12 minutes 2:28 am

Moon conjunct Chiron in Aries 4:41 am

Our New Moon in Aries at 4 degrees defines a new chapter of the self. Aries rules the first house of identity, and it is here that we begin to discover who we are on a personal level.

The New Moon itself represents a time of rebirth and renewal, in Aries, that rebirth takes place with the way we relate to our identity. We may be finding parts of ourselves that we didn't know were present, there may be new aspects to who we are that are beginning to come out. Who are we in a time of crisis? Who are we to our friends, our family, our neighbors?

In a time where we are being told to isolate and remove ourselves from others, it can be hard to navigate our values.

I know for me, I am extremely hospitable and want everyone to be in my life, I want to give of myself to everyone, but I equally am trying to isolate and keep myself quarantined and follow the guidelines our government is putting out. It is an extremely hard thing to navigate right now, how do we be compassionate, giving, neighborly, while also not spreading the virus and endangering each other and ourselves?

A lot of us are also out of work, and trying to find ways to make money. I know for my household, we are extremely concerned and worried about being able to afford our bills. My husband and I are both out of regular consistent work, which I basically can do readings from home, but not a lot of people are booking readings. Trying to figure out how to make money and survive is something we are all facing together. My self worth has been on the chopping block. I have guilt for not going to school to be a nurse, or a scientist, or someone who can really do something that “matters” during a global crisis. I have been reflecting on my identity, sense of worth, and how I relate to myself during this. I bring up my concerns as an example of some of the thoughts or feelings many of us may be facing. Who are we? Who will we be after this? Who do we want to be now? This is the type of question to ask yourself, and it is time to set an intention to this New Moon in Aries, that we are willing to be whoever we need to be to get through this as a collective, as a world, to better support and sustain the planet in the most effective way that brings us together for the betterment of all beings here.

There is no right or wrong way to feel right now. With a world changing rapidly, we are going to have a lot of feelings. It is important we do what we can to protect each other. Whether that is self isolating, or connecting through the internet, writing, painting, laughing, crying. Doing what you can to get through this for your own mental health and the well being of others is OK.
