How Does Our Thinking Keep Us Separate?
This week’s headline items: it’s time to start to take action on your New Moon intentions from Monday early morning on; Mercury squares Nov. 19th’s Lunar Eclipse degree very early on Tuesday; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Wednesday evening; the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact early on Thursday morning.
Please note: Daylight Saving Time begins in the US on Sunday very early morning.
There will only be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 4 hours); Thursday late morning (for almost 15 hours); and Sunday late morning (for almost 4 hours).
Now, this week’s Forecast…
Monday, March 7th:
Monday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day. It will journey there until Tuesday early afternoon. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and “rushing things” goes against our grain.
What is our favorite thing until Tuesday afternoon? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses
Monday after 6:49am EST, it is time to start to take action on your New Moon intentions. If you set Intentions on March 2nd or 3rd – after the New Moon became exact — today (Monday) will be the best time to take relevant actions.
If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?
Monday late afternoon, on the one hand, we need to experience peace and physical pleasure; on the other, we need to take some time to focus on our future visions and see what’s realistic for us. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds. (Moon in Taurus squares Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 4:56pm EST)
Monday late evening, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. Inner and outer beauty is key! (Moon in Taurus sextiles Neptune in Pisces, exact at 11:03pm EST)

Tuesday, March 8th:
Tuesday, the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus until 1:40pm EST (see Monday morning for details).
Tuesday very early morning, at around 1:40am EST, when Mercury reaches 27º14’ of Aquarius, it squares the Lunar Eclipse degree (from Nov. 19th, 2021 — 27º14’ of Taurus). This symbolizes a turning point: what have you been experiencing since Nov. 19th in connection with your own or other people’s resources? How about your intimate relationships and your relationship with yourself?
We are being invited to shift our perspective and let go of past traumas to a more abundant experience; collaborations of all kinds can support us on this path.
Ask yourself: What fears are asking to be faced? What am I ready to let go of? What steps can I take to heal past trauma? Where do I need to decide to step into my own power more fully? How does my thinking keep me separate from others? From myself? My body? My heart?
If I allow myself to keep my heart wide open, what is my vision for humanity’s future? And what is my vision for myself within that future? How might it change the process to visualize such a future from a stance of non-attachment? How might taking a collaborative approach support such a vision? How might doing those things serve me? Could I allow some space to exist between my outer experiences/interactions and my inner processes?
I go into this subject even more deeply in my latest webinar: “Turning Points – Squares to the Eclipses” ==> Click here to purchase this webinar, if you haven’t seen it yet (if you were an active Star Member on Feb. 19th, you have access to this webinar already via an email that was sent out that day).
Tuesday late morning, at 9:35am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for a little over 4 hours, until 1:40pm EST. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.
Tuesday early afternoon, at 1:40pm EST, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until Friday very early morning. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible.
“Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂 This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Thursday morning).
Wednesday, March 9th:
Wednesday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Tuesday early afternoon for details).
Wednesday late morning, consider connecting with others, socializing, and taking a compassionate approach toward yourself and others, especially when it comes to personal goals and passions. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself and others actually made for more fulfilling connections? (Moon in Gemini sextiles Chiron in Aries, exact at 11:50am EST)
Wednesday evening, at 8:32pm EST, Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius to creative, sensitive Pisces. It will journey through Pisces until March 27th. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next 2.5 weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion — we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.
We seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time — if we allow that energy to come through — and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative, and intuitive.
The key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.
Mercury in Pisces also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditioning, or fears that are no longer serving us. The more connected we are to our Higher Self, to our intuition, and to the energies inside and all around us, the less anxious, confused, and separate we are going to feel.
If we are not connected to our intuition, we may want to double-check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items.
Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?
Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-Sign in Pisces? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-Sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.
Wednesday late evening, we are required to make some adjustments — and may need to do a little stretching and growing when it comes to our inner or emotional understanding of things. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. (Moon in Gemini squares Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 10:07pm EST)
Thursday, March 10th:
Thursday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day (see Tuesday early afternoon for details).
Thursday morning, at 5:45am EST, the first Quarter Moon in almost 20 degrees of Gemini becomes exact (we started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Gemini on Tuesday early afternoon). The Moon in chatty, versatile Gemini makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate Pisces.
We feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 2nd, the New Moon in Pisces became exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.
As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-22 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).
Thursday late morning, at 11:43am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 15 hours, until 2:24am EST (Friday very early morning). Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments — and to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to your inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday late morning until Friday very early morning ahead of time.
Friday, March 11th:
Friday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini and VoC until 2:24am EST (see Tuesday early afternoon and Thursday late morning for details).
Friday very early morning, at 2:24am EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and a half days 😉
Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.
Friday morning is a great time to share about spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, allow for feelings to flow, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past (Moon in Cancer trines Mercury in Pisces, exact at 7:00am EST)
Friday late morning, calls for some inner adjustments; we are invited to develop inner awareness around two very different urges: firstly, the desire to take visionary and collaborative actions that serve many people — and secondly, the need to feel safe and to connect to the familiar. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Mars in Aquarius, exact at 10:34am EST)
Friday early afternoon, requires some more inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people (on an intellectual level) that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 12:19pm EST)
Friday night/Saturday very early morning, we are invited to make adjustments and (as best as we can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for healing around anger or self-identity and for taking care of emotional or family issues. (Moon in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, exact at 12:58am EST)
Saturday, March 12th:
Saturday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Friday very early morning for details).
Saturday very early morning brings an opportunity to connect to family (or friends that feel like family) and create breakthroughs around things that we enjoy through our five senses (e.g. food). This may also be a good time to find a unique or global approach on financial matters that bring us a sense of emotional security. (Moon in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus, exact at 2:37am EST)
Saturday early afternoon, brings a nice feeling of ease and an enhanced ability to connect with others in a gentle way. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing, and allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you. Release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. This is also a great time to explore spiritual, intuitive, or creative endeavors, and for lending loving and nurturing support to others. (Moon in Cancer trines Jupiter in Pisces, exact at 12:07pm EST)
Saturday evening, we are asked to make some inner adjustments, as we may experience some internal discomfort. Personal comfort and safety is important for the Moon in Cancer, yet Saturn in Aquarius reminds us that staying attached to the past is not going to lead to new creations, or bring forth new visions for the future. (Moon in Cancer quincunxes Saturn in Aquarius, exact at 6:59pm EST)
Saturday late evening is a great time to be more aware of our spiritual/intuitive experiences or creative endeavors and lend loving and nurturing support to others. As best as you can, allow for feelings to flow, and release anything that feels outdated or stuck in the past. (Moon in Cancer trines the Sun in Pisces, exact at 11:52pm EST)
Sunday, March 13th:
Sunday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 3:32pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).
Sunday very early morning, at 2am EST, Daylight Saving Time begins in North America & Canada. This means from today on, I will be posting all astrological alignments and planetary movements in EDT (US-Eastern Daylight Savings Time). Please make sure that you adjust this for your location accordingly. For example, for the UK it will be 4 hours ahead instead of the usual 5 — until March 27th 😉
Sunday morning, a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 23 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 7:43am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, and it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (March 16th). This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us — being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment — we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.
Feeling things — and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to “have their feelings” — is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.
When we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.
If, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what’s outside of us, we will feel separate — and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh “realities”.
What might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each “now” moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our hearts to the miracle of life?
This is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart — not about giving up — rather, allowing “what is” to be ok, to see the perfection of “right now”.
Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Gemini? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)
Sunday late morning, at 11:44am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), for almost 4 hours, until 3:32pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.
As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning until the afternoon ahead of time.
Sunday afternoon, at 3:32pm EDT, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until next week, Wednesday very early morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂
So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.
If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?
And…
A heads up for next Monday (March 14th): The Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day. In the morning, the Moon in Leo opposes Mars in Aquarius, exact at 3:17am EDT; it quincunxes Mercury in Pisces at 5:05am EDT; it then opposes Venus in Aquarius, exact at 6:00am EDT; later in the afternoon, it trines Chiron in Aries, exact at 1:31pm EDT; and finally squares Uranus in Taurus, exact at 3:02pm EDT. More about all the details in next week’s forecast : )
