Lost in deep spiritual thoughts, Pisces struggles along in the material plane.

Until March 20th, Earth and her kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human) experience the influence of Pisces, sign of the World Savior. Whereas the task of Aquarius is the world server, the Pisces task of the two fishes is saving the world - Pisces never really enters matter, and as the last sign of the zodiac, includes all the signs in its makeup. No wonder Pisces, like Scorpio, is so difficult (both are ruled by Pluto, planet of death, transformation, and regeneration). Both signs (with Scorpio drowning in deep dark waters) find life on Earth a hardship, disorienting from the spiritual perspective and paradoxical.

As each zodiacal sign exhibits a different phase of Soul light, Pisces is the “light of the world ending forever the darkness of matter.” It takes two fishes to complete this work, which eventually creates one extraordinary human being (the Christ, the Buddha). One fish is turned toward the material world in order to understand matter, while the other leans to the heavenly worlds. Around them is a silvery cord binding them together forever - bound until all of humanity is redeemed and lifted up. Thus the sacrifice and suffering experienced in and by Pisces. Knowing these things about Pisces, let us do all we can to help them!

Notable days: Tuesday, March 10, is the Full Moon; Friday, March 20, is the Spring Equinox and the Sun enters Aries.

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 20) You shift between social groups and dream time, big plans for the future and things secret and reflective. There’s nothing amiss with this, but it can be disorienting. The planets are influencing everyone to be in two worlds simultaneously. Each world affects the other, which is good. You’ll be called gradually, yet more and more, to contemplation, rest and relaxation and a dream world preparing you for things to come. Remember your nightly review.

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20) Others can assist you in the work you’re to accomplish next. Ask them questions and listen to their ideas. They have information that fills the gaps in what you already know. Continue with planning, be bold, philanthropic, public, enterprising, inventive and principled. Think big, bigger, biggest! Don’t stop there. Create an entire village. You can do it!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You’ll become more involved in everything local, creating a presence within your community. Gathering and dispensing information will be most important in times to come as the foundations of the new culture and civilization are being created now. All around the world the concept of Transition Towns is being adopted. You would make an excellent leader, speaker, writer, communicator in this. Google “Transition Towns.”

CANCER (June 21-July 20) Many realities call to you. One is resources - yours and others, yours to share with others, preparing for others in need. Others are philosophy, justice, expanding your mind, studying, reading, learning. All of these make for mind filled with thoughts, ideas, ponderings and contemplations. Within and throughout notice if there’s a spark of joy, like dry kindling waiting to be lit. From the Soul comes Joy; this the personality longs for.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 20) All the Aquarian planets are resting in your house of relationships. It can be quite overwhelming if you’re a Leo whose energies are mainly internal. For externalized Leos this can be an exhilarating time. Your future expansion, mind, energy, focus, action, the wound and spiritual planes of consciousness are shining brightly into the world. Internal Leos, how are you functioning, and are you OK?

VIRGO (Aug. 21-Sept. 20) What ways of being, what daily agendas and disciplines, what boundaries and structures within your daily life do you want to eliminate, tear down, do away with and leave behind? This is an excellent time to initiate new schedules, plans, programs, arrangements and organization that will alter daily life and also create foundation for future endeavors. Are money matters organized?

LIBRA (Sept. 21-Oct. 20) It’s the most highly creative time for you, Libra, and whatever you do portends future possibilities. For some Libras it’s good to study the science and art of astrology. For other Libras consulting an astrologer concerning relationships would help greatly. Astrology brings forth balance and harmony, and most of all a deep comfort in knowing all’s well and in rhythm in all things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 21-Nov. 20) The future, like a white elephant, has just sat down in your living room and it will be staying there for a long while. So, it asks…what future are you hoping to have, where will it be, what does it look and feel like, and who do you hope is in that future with you? How and where will you live? What will your home look like? Hopefully it will be built of straw bales, look like a space ship, be totally off-the-grid and in a community 12 miles out of town in the woods. Think about this.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 21-Dec. 20) A change in routine, plans and agendas may occur this week, the next and for several more. Your mind may feel like it’s been taken off somewhere in a starship far, far away. Have you ever read the book “2150,” by Thea Alexander? It seems to be the right time to either re-read it or read it for the first time. Have you read “Island,” by Aldous Huxley? Or “Shikasta,” by Doris Lessing? Find them. Read them. They provide light in our particular semi-darkness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) There’a a task that all Capricorn must learn it’s important now. The task is compassion, especially to others having less than you but even more important is compassion toward children. It’s possible compassion wasn’t shown to you as a child. Or if it was, it was lost along the way. That’s OK, we can always call it forth. Actually compassion is a lost and found object within you. Like a sanctuary light in the temple of yourself. Compassion. What does it mean?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 20) So many realities occurring for you this week and month. A new path apparently must be taken, an expansion will occur, you must think about community, drop anger, find the wound and work on healing it. You may also need to find a new place to live or recreate your present one along different lines of thought. Tend to money carefully and with great consideration toward others.

PISCES (Feb. 21-Mar. 20) You tend to things private and confidential, like money and resources. Seek help from someone who knows about these things. In the meantime tend to tithing and helping those in need, like children in hospitals and building schools (www.buildingforgenerations.com/about.html). When an obstacle appears, radiate a light from the ajna center (Third Eye) upon it. A revelation (answer) then occurs. Are you sleeping? Are you dreaming?
