Weekly Horoscopes
March 16-22, 2015
Monday is Shiva's day and if ever there was a day to call upon Maha Deva, it's this one. I took this photo in Bangalore at the legendary "largest Shiva statue in the world" temple which is sadly sandwiched in between two huge shopping malls. You take your shoes off in a parking garage and traipse the dirty concrete through a hidden labyrinth buried in the structure where you happily forget the mall. The times we live in. We have to squeeze our souls in between layers of profanity in order to access the gods. It's not easy, but it can be done with enough barefoot determination.
Speaking of determination .....Saturn has started his retro-trek back towards those final dark degrees of Scorpio for one last karmic purging, so we're not quite out of the final tunnel and reckoning yet. If you're still waiting for some karmic comeuppance, look to June-July for the final score settling. Uranus and Pluto are in their seventh Kundalini activation, making sure to pull out all of the stops (knots, blocks, ego barriers) in this time of potent evolutionary awakening. Caution, attention and awareness are essential during these times. We cannot afford to be "asleep at the wheel" for even one second or accidents can and will happen.
We are also on the verge of the New Moon in Pisces at the very last degree of Pisces, of the very last sign of the zodiac initiating us into a very dream-like, liminal threshold experience as we cross into the brand new. To help with this once-in-a-lifetime dream come true, Stephanie Gailing of Planetary Apothecary and I have created a special Pisceaan, dream project. 40 Days of working with your Dreams. Don't let time be a barrier. There is always time for your dreams, even ten minutes a day will change your life!
Join us this Friday for the journey!
Here are your horoscopes for the week:
Aries:
This is a major week of endings and release, Aries. There is a monumental New Moon Solar Eclipse taking place at the last degree of Pisces on Friday. This also ushers in your birthday season and the Vernal Equinox. This is a final release of a 19-year cycle. Surrendering to the unknown can be a bit jarring but remember there’s a new adventure just on the other side. The planets are finally starting to calm down, and inviting you to come back to earth, collect your senses and find a more sane rhythm once again. Other bonus: Venus enters your money zone on Tuesday to bring more cash flow.
Taurus:
You’ll be relieve to hear that the sweetness and flow that seemed totally MIA are on their way back to your life as of Tuesday. Your ruling planet, Venus will come back home to your stars to bring beauty, money and grace in abundance. The intensity is still lingering but with a more mystical rather than violent vibe this week. There is a major New Moon Solar Eclipse arriving on Friday coinciding with the first day of spring. This is a time of releasing the last 19-year cycle involving your social world, friends and long-term goals. You despise change but think of the new blossoms on the other side.
Gemini:
You’re probably still reeling from last week’s intense explosions, so you’ll be happy to feel a calmer breeze blowing in as the planetary fire begins to wane. Change is still the only constant this week, however, as the New Moon Solar Eclipse arrives on Friday at the top of your horoscope. This marks a major time of new beginnings while letting go of the last nineteen years of some aspect of your old professional identity or public persona. You’re entering a totally new realm and it may still feel murky and unknown. Pay attention to all the messages streaming in to guide you.
Cancer:
Eclipses have a way of affecting you more than most. That’s because you’re a Moon child and super sensitive to changes in lunation. This week brings a phenomenal New Moon Solar Eclipse on Friday at the very last degree of the very last sign of the zodiac. Does that sound like a time of major endings or what? Think over the last nineteen years of your life and see how far you’ve come and how much you’re ready to finally relinquish in order to begin the new chapter that is just on the other side of this Friday’s Vernal Equinox.
Leo:
The change theme could be getting on your nerves at this point, Leo but alas it truly is the only constant. This seems to be your year for letting go and then letting go some more. The good news is that it’s easier than ever this week to trust in the divine providence of life and just surrender and flow. Friday brings a rather epic New Moon Solar Eclipse in zone of transformation. This means that you’re actually releasing the past nineteen years of your life in a monumental fashion. Imagine a total wash in order to clear the space for something so brand new that you won’t even recognize it.
Virgo:
Relationships are in the process of a dramatic overhaul, Virgo. You’ve been feeling this on a deep, subconscious level for weeks but the final reckoning and closure is on this week’s horizon. The New Moon Solar Eclipse arrives on Friday just in time for the Vernal Equinox. It falls at the very last degree of Pisces, your opposite sign and relationship zone. Everything you thought you knew or wanted in a relationship is being dissolved now. You’re about to totally recreate your way of partnering. Venus will move into your zone of wisdom and higher consciousness on Tuesday to help make peace with all of the tremendous change and mysterious endings taking place.
Libra:
This week is certainly a calm ocean breeze compared to last week’s incendiary blast. However, the intensity and themes of great change are not quite over yet. The New Moon Solar Eclipse arrives on Friday in your house of work and health. This is a highly significant event as it marks the closure of a nineteen-year cycle around work projects and daily rituals. You may be saying goodbye to old coworkers, dietary fads, negative food habits, exercise or lack of exercise rituals or even a daily schedule that no longer serves you. In other words, daily life is about to undergo a tremendous transformation. The guiding question is: are your soul needs being met by your schedule?
Scorpio:
The intensity is slowly but surely starting to settle a bit compared to last week, but that doesn’t mean the powerful thread of transformation is over. In fact, this Friday brings not only the arrival of spring, but a potent New Moon Solar Eclipse in your house of love and creativity. You’re on the verge of a major ending (clearing out the last nineteen years) in order to create a clean slate for a fabulous new romantic beginning. To bring even more sweetness and love to the mix, Venus will enter your partnership zone this Tuesday for the next several weeks, Scorpio.
Sagittarius:
You may still be recovering from last week’s planetary blaze. This week is quite mellow in comparison, despite the fact that there is a major New Moon Eclipse arriving this Friday. The Vernal Equinox is truly a spring awakening for you, Sadge. You’re relinquishing the past nineteen years of your life, and even your roots in order to prepare for a new home, a new domestic scene and perhaps a totally new love or creative baby. In other words, everything is changing and dissolving. Venus will move into your work and health zone to bring more sweetness to your daily routine for the next few weeks.
Capricorn:
You’ll be relieved to here that last week’s fires are giving way to this week’s purification and watery, soulful immersion. There is a memorable New Moon Solar Eclipse coinciding with the Vernal Equinox this Friday. You’re more than ready for spring and a totally fresh start, so don’t be afraid to release the last nineteen years of baggage from your slate. Why carry the clutter when there is a beautiful new frame of mind on the horizon. Venus will move into your love and pleasure zone this Tuesday to bring you springtime blossoms of beauty and sweetness all around, Capricorn.
Aquarius:
If you survived last week’s insane planetary action, you’ll reap the benefits this week as the new beginning you’ve been dyeing for, finally arrives. Friday not only brings the Vernal Equinox and the arrival of spring, but one of the most powerful New Moon Solar Eclipses on record as it falls at the very last degree of the very last sign of the zodiac. It’s not the ending of a chapter but of a total book in your life (think the past nineteen years). Let go of as much as possible so that you can travel on your new adventure light, and baggage-free.
Pisces:
It’s not an exaggeration to say that this could very well be the most memorable and fated year of your entire life, Pisces. There is an epic New Moon Solar Eclipse falling in your stars at the very last degree of your constellation, and thus the entire zodiac. It’s like you’ve come full circle from the last nineteen years of your life and are just letting it all wash away to sea in order to start completely fresh. Now that the coast is clear, you can see what’s most essential for your soul. Leave the rest behind and don’t ever look back.
