Welcome to March, well, what else can I say
.? Things will be very intense from March 4-7 and again around Spring, on March 20, 21. Time to get moving! Mars is here with Pluto, and that means: take action. Ive been giving a lot of thought to this new Pluto in Capricorn time period. Its always so hard to explain this to the lay person, but, I see it like this:
Sometimes in life we can feel it coming
we can feel it building up
and the sense is that sometimes we just need WHOLESALE SWEEPING CHANGES IN OUR LIVES
. Now is one of those times.
Heading into a period like this is very uncomfortable for me. I feel compelled to warn people of coming tensions, etc. Yet, thats not really the purpose of astrology to teach you when to duck. And I dont want to be a doomsayer. Astrology tells us, if we listen correctly, what TYPE of thing will be coming. It is up to so many other factors in the charts to determine what will in fact happen. March will be a month where we need to ACT. And Im talking about acting on matters that are no surprise to us. Matters that have been outstanding and unresolved for a long, long time (Pluto.) The way the planets seem to work it this: the more we act, the more they support us. The more we dont, the reverse is true. This should come as no surprise to anyone as the planets are merely symbols of our own urges.
May your March be productive, fulfilling, and as uneventful as possible.
Watch Out For March 4th!
So why is MARCH 4 so important and so dangerous?
1. Because Pluto is in early Capricorn. 2. Pluto has not been challenged yet. 3. Mars enters Cancer on March 4th around 4:30am. 4. Mars will oppose and trigger Pluto.
Thats why.
What will happen? Who knows, but it may very well be intense. When Mars combines with Pluto, it often times signifies anger, violence and aggression among other not-so-fun things. Of course, most of us slip by and not much happens. It depends on where it is in your chart, how nice you are, how much remaining karma you still have to cook
.
But
It is very symbolic of long-term, held-in emotions that need expressed. Sometimes better known as rage. Hopefully not, but look for things to be UPROOTED - thats the key word. If you help it, it will go well.
What does one do? Besides hiding, I strongly recommend that one lays low for the day. Learn to limbo. Of course the world simply wont go away, so, suffice it to say: Be careful, be very, very careful. In most cases, the energies have already been set in motion to begin with. So, do not underestimate the power or ill-intent of your enemies at this time. Avoid all conflict if possible.
CHIRON RESEARCH
In Martin Lass wonderful book on Chiron, Chiron Healing Body and Soul, he describes this asteroid/comet/dwarf planet eloquently, It represents what we feel is most missing, unbalanced, unjust and/or most in need of correction, fixing or getting rid of in our lives. This, in return, determines what we seek in life, who we related to or not, the paths we walk, things we will attract or repel, and the destiny we will meet. In short, the natal placement of Chiron outlines our specific wounds/voids that determine our values. In addition, it encapsulates the healing path and the gifts in our wounds.
Im keeping a very close watch on Chiron these days. Its mysterious nature of being the wounded healer has me mystified. It seems to push us hard towards some destiny, at times, even stronger than Pluto or Uranus. For better or worse, Chiron inspires us to do something special, in some type of attempt to heal our own wounds. It drives many of us to be famous; others, infamous. Here are some of the notable findings Ive come up with so far

So Much for Being a Spaced-out Pisces
Albert Einstein, March 14, 1879 11:30am, Ulm, Germany
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist. He is best known for his theory of relativity and specifically mass-energy equivalence, E = mc2. Einstein received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his research in the field of photoelectricity. At that time Pluto was crossing his ascendant, and Uranus, his midheaven! Einstein's many contributions to physics include his special theory of relativity, and his general theory of relativity.
What does an examination of his chart show us? The main construct in the chart is a bucket pattern, where 10 planets are fanned out, all hanging from Uranus in the third house of the mind in brilliant Virgo! What phenomenal intellectual power that gave him. Moreover, Chiron and Neptune form a significant conjunction in Taurus in his eleventh house. This Neptune (his native ruler) gave him his intuition and imagination he is noted for. If that werent enough, a very powerful T-square was formed from a Jupiter-Uranus opposition to prominent Pluto in Taurus. No wonder he split the atom. Pluto. Taurus.
Rounding off his chart, we find his Piscean Sun in the public tenth house along side of Mercury, Saturn, and Venus in Aries, making him quite the public figure. So much for the limited or retarded mind, quoted in old astrology books when referring to Saturns close proximity to his Mercury (mind,) huh (and they are 1° apart)?
Pluto started to square the Chiron-Neptune conjunction in the late 30s, as this typically pacifistic Pisces regretfully helped to develop the atomic bomb. Ironically, this man who was to become Time Magazines, Man of the Century, passed away as the same Pluto squared its natal position exactly.
Edgar Cayce
March 18, 1887 3:20pm Hopkinsville, KY
Known as America's "Sleeping Prophet," psychic Edgar Cayce claimed an ability to channel answers to questions on subjects such as health, astrology, reincarnation, and Atlantis while in a self-induced trance. Although Cayce lived before the emergence of the New Age movement, he remains a major influence on its teachings. His foundation thrives today in Virginia Beach, VA. Cayce gave thousands of healing messages to people from all over the world with a high degree of accuracy.
Where did this other-worldly ability come from? His unparalleled intuition came from several sources. Start with 4 planets in mystical Pisces along with his North Node, while his Sun and exalted Venus lie in the "occult" 8th house. Powerful Uranus in Leo lies right at his ascendant giving him tremendous mental acuity from "on high." And, Moon/Neptune/Chiron are a beacon in his 9th while iconic Pluto calls him from the midheaven! Jupiter trine Neptune gave him great spiritual inspiration and augmented his Piscean sense of service to mankind.
