Astrological Insights for March, 2017

On February 19 we entered into the sign of Pisces the last sign of the zodiac, which is ruled by the planet Neptune. The element associated with this planet is water and the sign is mutable. Neptune is often described as twin to Uranus as both planets are gas giants that are smaller than Jupiter and Saturn. Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun, the fourth largest and similar in temperature to Uranus. Named for the Roman god of the sea, Neptune has more water in its composition than most other planets and its blue color is reminiscent of the oceans of Earth. The approximate musical note for the Neptune tuning fork is G sharp which when combined with Ohm creates the Ohm/Neptune 5th, this ecstatic 5th is an opening that is likened to the visionary moving from transpersonal to transcendental.

Themes for the March astrological forecast include the ending of winter, entering the time of Pisces (February 19 – March 20), the bridge to the Vernal Equinox (March 20 – 21), the beginning of Springtime and the Astrological New Year with the Aires New Moon on March 27th Jupiter Squaring Pluto on March 30th. In addition to the Full Moon, New Moon and the Vernal Equinox, March is filled with a planetary symphony of conjuncts, oppositions, squares (including a T-Square), Venus retrograde, a glorious splendor of Saturn Conjunct the Galactic Center, with the grand finale of the Jupiter/Pluto Square.
