Astrology for <strong>Mar</strong>ch 2008 In <strong>Mar</strong>ch, we travel through the emotional depths of Pisces, fi nishing the wheel of the zodiac to begin again in Aries on the 19th , the Spring Equinox, when the length of day is equal to the night, the sun once again rising due East. These ancient rhythms, mark the sacred wheel of life. It is human nature to seek meaning, and to seek understanding of the inherent laws within nature. Out of this, we build realities. Right now we are in a stepped up phase of building a new reality for ourselves. The Mayan calendar has reached out to us at this time, with its mystery, throwing upon our contemporary shores puzzles that creative minds now contemplate, extracting new ways of seeing. The calendar, with it’s end date of 2012, marks a point of urgency to know our powers of creation or destruction, and to a return to a vaster conception of ourselves, consciousness, and time. Looking at the United States’ horoscope, the people are represented by the Moon in Aquarius, emphasizing freedom, inventiveness, and equality to all. Since January this Moon has been highlighted, indicating a grass roots movement that yearns for a renewed vision. Barack Obama’s chart aligns exactly with the USA moon and his <strong>Mar</strong>s aligns with USA Neptune, triggering our potential to experience oneness and move beyond polarizing forces. With Jupiter now in Capricorn and Saturn in Virgo, the need is for a practical visionary and interestingly, Obama’s chart carries both Virgo and Capricorn. The new moon on the 7th emphasizes Uranus; liberation from the old. <strong>Mar</strong>ch carries a Uranus Jupiter alignment, an opportunity to conceive and put into place radical new approaches to humanity’s challenges, setting the stage for 2010 when these two planets enter pioneering Aries. This month also carries the theme of power struggles, aggressiveness, and the opportunity to transform how we use force and politics, especially highlighted as the Sun enters Aries, and during the full moon in Libra which takes place on the 21st . Twelve Opportunities for 2008: Aries (<strong>Mar</strong> 20-Apr 19): Preparations are being made behind the scenes. Now is the time to connect with your THE POWER OF STORY Tby James Wanless, Ph.D. o make the most out of your life, what’s your story? What story do you have for your destiny? What story do you have for any endeavor or project? Why is this so important? Because we live our stories. We are our stories. Our stories are a dramatization of our intentions. They make intention much more vivid, memorable, and impacting. Storying your life is to give form to formless intentions. Somewhere in you is a story/vision of your life to come. If it’s not articulated, it’s almost like sleep walking and/or being run by vague subconscious desires. Like dreams that reveal and guide, so do our waking stories. Tell a story and be your own tell-a-vision. The great Joseph Campbell, in his work, “The Power of Myth,” once declared that the day he woke up was the day he realized he was living someone else’s story, like the story his parents or teachers would have him live, but was not his. One of the secrets to manifestation is to establish a narrative that works for you. And make it mythic. Make up a story with you as the leading mythic character. What’s your mythic name? And give your story a title, make it rememorable. MYTH is an acronym for “Make Yourself The Hero.” Life is a hero’s journey that you are on, a mythic voyage of discovery and magic. roots, family, and ancestors. Keep a balance between expressing feelings and reserve. Be thoughtful with the intense energy of this time because many people are working out strong emotional states. Slow your pace internally to feel the nuances of the day. Taurus (Apr 20-May 20): Now is the time where you feel a greater calling weaving itself through daily life. You refl ect on your ideals, dreams, imagination, sense of oneness. You are excited and renewed in your interactions with others. Creativity and love are strengthened and expressed this month. Gemini (May 21-Jun 20): This is a month for music and singing. Take a trip into your dreams, into a state of unconditional love. Sink your feet and hands into the Earth. Take your time to work through your tasks. Balance organization and cleaning with reverie and pondering possibility. Throughout the month, you express and communicate the possible, yet are grounded in details. Cancer (Jun 21–Jul 21): This month is an opportunity to be aware of transforming outdated behaviors. Ask yourself what has been taking place for me since September? What changes have taken place? What do I want now? What habits no longer serve me? This month tests the old ways. Imagine yourself walking through that portal of old ways of relating. Embrace your opportunity to renew yourself. Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 22): This month, change is in the air. You have the opportunity to recognize how you feel at the effect of other people, their needs and their values. Issues of intimacy are before you. You have the potential to heal relationship issues. Recognize where you distance yourself from love because of past wounds. Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22): This month you work with health issues, and life habits. As you focus on these areas, healing is available to you. You have the potential to hear in new ways, to receive messages from a greater source. Relationships change. You embrace new levels of participation with others, and in your life. Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22): Take advantage of the wonderful creative energy available to you. There’s love, creativity, imagination, and hope, available to draw on. Change your daily routines. Handle your day in a drastically different way In your hero’s journey story, include elements such as your challenges as well as your allies. We all have to make sacrifi ces to attain big goals, so include this in your story. Make sure that your story ends well, if not gloriously! Keep retelling this story to yourself and the story will unfold. One of the secrets of manifestation is having a clear intention and when you story and re-story it, the intention becomes more magnifi ed. A good idea is to create this story as a kind of movie or screen play. By having it as a set of pictures, you have the power of image and imagination behind it, which is the source of magic. If you can see it, you can be it. If you can foresee in your mind’s eye, you can forecast – manifest your vision and create your future. It’s best to do a short write-up of your story, or render it artistically or in a dance, or at least tell others who are supportive. This “anchors” your intentions, and we can use all the outside help that we can attract. I have been fortunate in my life to have created a life story and it is the Voyager Tarot myth. I am a voyager and the cards, which I play with daily, remind me of my story. Remembering and consciously embodying your story is one of the must fun and fundamental ways of making your dreams come true. FACTOID: Did you know that way, way before you think about buying something you have already decided in- to break open this creative energy. Be thoughtful in the week of the equinox. Tensions are apparent. Others have strong needs at this time. Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21): This month you have an opportunity to learn about your patterns of communication. Recently encountering clashes of personality, which challenge your patterns of thinking and responding, now has the potential for new resolutions. Strong creative and loving energy enters your life when you refrain from polarization. A heart opening is taking place, and you can feel deep love and appreciation. Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 20): This month you feel the stretch between home and career, your family and your work. Focus on your purpose with your feet fi rmly planted in compassion for the human condition. If you feel uncertainty, ground yourself with practical aspects of life and a goal to fulfi ll. For best right results, don’t change fi nancial situations this month. Capricorn (Dec 21- Jan 19): You are entering a time fi lled with much change and transformation. Believe in possibility, in receiving guidance from the creative muse. This will open doors for you and soften current tensions. Be thoughtful of interactions with others. It’s easy to take things too personally this month. Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 17): This month set intentions about your fi nancial situation. It would be worthwhile to take assessment of all your resources and talents and expand upon possibilities for yourself. It can be a very creative time. In work situations, especially around the equinox, be thoughtful about reactive situations. Pisces (Feb 18-<strong>Mar</strong> 19): This month is ideal for joining a new group or venturing off with friends. You are experiencing the responsibilities in relationship. Your opportunity is to stay balanced in your relations, compassionate, yet with good boundaries. If you feel distance from your loved one, take it as an opportunity to enjoy yourself.
