Astrology Report March 1 - 8, 2014 with Green Light Days

The matters that emerge this weekend have a long period of effect and slow period of resolve. You can feel it this weekend as it may be full of hesitation and frustration. The Pisces New Moon has us all in the dark trying to find our way. You may attempt to get things going but stall out for any number of reasons. You may not be properly prepared or the other people cancel. Others may be working harder than usual and feel they are accomplishing more than usual. They may not have the money or there could be a serious family problem or business matter that takes priority. Priorities may be difficult to set for a period of time. As the emergence of pressing matters in the here and now can upset even the most well thought out plans. Everyone is having their share of problems. It’s similar to the 911 calls for those stuck in a huge traffic jam. The emergency vehicle simply can’t make it. This is truly a period of testing your survival skills. Many of the avenues you once took are broken or shut down. Many of those roads need to be completely rebuilt or over-hauled before you can go down that road again.

Things that are routine may not work in the sequence need to complete your goals.

TUESDAY MARCH 4- The Aries Moon is void of course after the square to Venus at 12:31 PM until 2:12 PM.

2:12 PM the Moon enters Taurus until Thursday at 9:37 PM. For Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday then Thursday night the Moon travels through the money sign. Stick to tradition during this sign as the signs ruler Venus is going through changes too. Venus will enter Aquarius which is at odds with Taurus. Jupiter is the lightens up the landscape Thursday morning at 5:42 AM but Saturn is in Scorpio which is opposite the Taurus Moon and makes you pay the entire way through. Wait until after Moon opposite Saturn at 8:55 AM Thursday before advancing.


The first Green Light period this week begins March 6, Thursday night at 9:37 PM when the Moon enters Gemini and sees the high action events surrounding the First Quarter Moon March 8. With this chatty and busy Gemini it suggests that retrograde Mars can be of some help to restart an older matter. These older matters could be reconnecting with people who have brought you together with others in the past. These could be counselors or legal advisors. Accept all invitations as these may place you in a social situation with the benefit of meeting a small pool of people who may help you with your goals. This Green Light period ends on Sunday March 9 at 3:53 AM.

Transcribed report:

Good morning. Well, here we have the weekend that we have been kind of worried about for sometime, and that is because this weekend has more frustrations and difficulties than most that I’ve seen in long long time. Actually I’ve never seen a time when Mars went retrograde the same time Saturn went retrograde right on the heels of when Mercury turned direct. Mercury had been retrograde, now direct as of yesterday morning, and so that is a good thing. But Mars is a planet that rules forward motion, getting the job done, moving forward in anyway that where you are chasing your desires and your goals. And then pile on top of that Saturn, which is about paying your debts and being restricted and limited, it makes it a very frustrating period.


There is a little bit of brightness with Jupiter the end of the week that should help things, but the matters that emerge this weekend have a long period of effect and a slow period of resolve. So it can be very tense, either global events or personal events, you can feel there is a hesitation and frustration with nearly everything that you approach.

We have, to complicate matters more; we are in a New Moon stage which means we are in the dark of the Moon. The Pisces new Moon has us all trying to find our way out, and out of a very dark tunnel, and that New Moon occurred early this morning at 2:59 AM at 11 degrees of Pisces. You may attempt to get things going, but find you stall out for a number of reasons: you may not be properly prepared, or the other people on the other end may cancel. Or others maybe working harder than usual and feel that they are accomplishing more in some ways, but less in other ways. It is a very difficult time to make head way. There may not be enough money to pay for what it is that you need or for the amount of effort that you are putting out. There could be serious family problems or business matters that take priority. And priorities may be difficult to set for a period of time, as the emergence of pressing matters are in the here and now. And that can upset even the most thought out plan, so have patience. Surrender to that whole concept of having patience, standing in the now, asking for help. Everyone is having their share of problems. So when you are screaming “911.” It’s like the emergency vehicle being stuck in that great big traffic jam in New Jersey, they can’t make it either. So there is truly a test of our survival skills during this time of Mercury, Mars, Saturn that bring us to a sense of needing to stop and regroup, rely on your skills. Those things, the avenues you once took could be broken or shut down, and many of those roads need to be completely rebuilt or overhauled before you can go down that road again.

So what you can expect: the first Green Light period during this entire week is on Thursday evening after 9:37 PM. Green Light periods are about getting the go ahead, getting the Green Light to move forward with your goals, but realizing that during this time period many things are being held back. The priority list has been completely changed, so you may have to just wait, get in the back of the line, again. So have some patience for that.
So that Gemini Moon on Thursday sees a lot of high action because there is a First Quarter Moon that is also occurring during the Gemini Moon of next weekend. And that is the Green Light period that suggests that there is a lot of chattiness and a lot of errands being run, a lot of running around. Maybe there is some help to start an older matter. So that Green Light period doesn’t end until Sunday, March 9th at 3:53 AM. So that’s your time when you want to plan ahead, but just go through the motions now of doing all your work, keeping your nose to the grindstone before then.
This Pisces Moon that we have today started yesterday at 9:53 AM - that was after Mercury had gone direct. So the Pisces Moon is leading us through a new beginning and period of devotion, personal mission. Your inner desire to connect with those inspiring principles may be there and available for you to look inside. This is definitely an inside job. Contemplate the things that you can draw on from your own inner self - that is where the strength is right now during this time.
During the Pisces Moon the planet of forward motion, Mars (intention, planned action, and advancement) turns retrograde in Libra, and that is at 11:24 this morning.
Mars is also aligned with the Lunar Node, and that will magnify Mar’s activities or troubles or warlike behavior. More headaches emerge or reemerge, injuries, fires; aggression may cluster during this time of change. On the positive side there is a lot of energy that can be redirected - especially going back. Go back over things that you’ve done in the past and try to bring them up and rework them. Reapply your energies and efforts to them with a new look for an old project or old effort.
The Pisces Moon does end on Sunday at 10:40 AM. If you cannot do anything productive for yourself, then help somebody else over this weekend, and that is the best way to apply your energies.
So for that Aries Moon sign that does begin tomorrow at 10:40 AM Sunday it continues until March 4th, that’s on Tuesday, at 2:12 PM. This is an expensive couple of days with more frustration for that few days. Saturn will turn retrograde at 11:19 AM on Sunday. This retrograde motion continues until July 20th, but it may settle in and not feel quite so bad or so frustrating after maybe after 10 days or a couple of weeks goes by, when you get to see all the debts and obligations that you need to tend to before moving forward. This is where you must repair that old bridge before even considering building a new one. Teeth and bones could be an issue, muscles are stiff or over extended. Saturn also rules the Father principle. You may have to answer to a higher authority before anything else can be done. Restrictions, limits, resources, may be the nature of matters for now. This may improve slightly by the end of the week because Jupiter turns direct. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, that is on March 6th, and that will be at 5:42 AM.
As for other things going on Sunday, Venus and Mars are squared during this Aries Moon this Sunday. That means there are matters from just before Christmas that reemerge and turn up the pressure again. People find it hard to contain their frustrations and suffer the consequences of taking things out on those closest to them - So I’m sorry there. And you may have a passionate or very emotional reaction that can be met with consequences. So keep your temper down and try to love the ones you’re with and not hurt the ones you’re with. There is also difficulties or breach of flow in money with Venus square Mars. (STOP 45:22) You can also have difficulty finding love for your work, and this could also indicate, with the Aries Moon, that there is a long battle between the sexes. That is because the Moon doesn’t trigger those two planets Venus and Mars until Tuesday. Moon will opposite Mars at 9:44 AM Tuesday and then square Venus at 12:31 PM on Tuesday – so that is how long this battle could last. So try to defuse that in any way that you can.
On Monday that Aries Moon sign is still with us. The Sun is 60 degrees away from Pluto, with that it brings us the obvious need to build bridges and engage with people in positions of power to assist in serious matters. These could be global, those tensions over in Russia and Ukraine. These matters could be in your life or in the world at large. And any formidable plan with determination and decisiveness should be reviewed carefully. The review comes from all the retrograde activity. There’s that sense that there is a deep revelation that supports your inner and outer progress, on both a personal level and how that relates to your greater outer surroundings. If you are trying to gain control over these matters in your life or others, you might be also trying to use a deeper principle of trust and sharing to work those things out. Look for an open access to financial assistance, something you can go back to, an older way of doing things maybe. Although wait until that Gemini Moon sign I talked about where we have that Green Light period on Thursday.
For Tuesday, still an Aries Moon. It is void of course after a square to Venus at 12:31 PM. That void of course period ends at 2:12 PM, that is when the Moon goes into Taurus and it stays there until 9:37 PM on Thursday. So its interpretation includes Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday, and most of Thursday. So stick to tradition. It is the money sign. Try to relate to the feminine principle of things: friendship, bonding, food.
And Venus is also going through changes too. Venus will change signs and enter the sign of Aquarius, that will be on Wednesday at 4:03 PM - that is a weird place for Venus to travel through. She is spending more time with friends. She is connecting more with groups and larger goals that may have to do more with ecology, or the greater good, or social endeavors. So Venus in the sign of Aquarius is at odds with Taurus, the money sign. They are squared to one another, so they are in a difficult compromising position.
Jupiter lighten ups the landscape on Thursday - That happens at 5:42 AM. But Saturn is right there to say remember me, you have to pay the tolls and the debts first because that Saturn in Scorpio is opposite to the Taurus Moon and it is also square to the Aquarius Venus that is also going to travel through and meet that square somewhere down the road.
So wait until after the Moon is opposite Saturn at 8:55 AM Thursday before advancing during the Taurus Moon sign, then I would say you have kind of a little Green Light period that would go on until 9:37 PM on Thursday. It is not quite as strong as the one that we have Thursday night that will run through Sunday.
For Thursday night and Friday you have a lot of running around, a lot of errands with the Gemini Moon sign and you can expect to connect with people from the past. Men from the past may comeback. Older people, mentors, may also come back in some way shape and form. You may also want to have some sort of new education plan during this time of seemingly stuck and stagnant period. Jupiter turning direct says sign up for a course or join some type of event that furthers your skills in someway shape or form. That’s it for the week. (STOP 50.26) It can be very frustrating. You may need someone to help you sort things out. An Astrology reading is a really good idea during this time period and also you can continue to find advisers that can help you to come back to your center. Trust and invest in your patience. That’s it for the week.
We have class on Wednesday night that can also be a time when you find ways to sort through these things in more detail, that’s at 7:00 on Wednesday night. You can find more information about this on my website at lunar-shadows.com. Call me at 617-924-0929. You can ask me about these things or schedule an appointment. And I will talk to you again next week.
