Mercury Station Friday

“Don’t be satisfied with stories,
how things have gone with others.
Unfold your own myth.” Rumi

Mercury will station direct Friday 2/28 at 18 Aquarius. The revolutionary aspect – Uranus square Pluto -which is the signature of our times has both a personal and collective dimension to it. Moving in a direction of increased personal authenticity is one of the important components of this placement. It is wise under the influences to clarify any dreams, spiritual or creative visions which may have been unduly curtailed by familial, cultural, religious or educational influences and see if there is a way to bring them to life in your life now from a place of increased wisdom. One of the Sabian Symbols associated with Mercury’s station is, “A man being unmasked at a masquerade.” Shedding layers of the inauthentic or overly socialized self is an important part of the journey.

New Moon in Pisces

“Faith is some truth that you heartfully merge with. It’s like compassion, the merging. Belief is a system of the mind and the mind is part of the ego…If you have faith then grace will stay and it is real.” Ram Dass

The New Moon on Saturday March 1 is at 10 degrees of Pisces. One of the Sabian symbols for this placement is “Men Traveling a Narrow Path, Seeking Illumination” and another is “An Examination of Initiates in the Sanctuary of an Occult Brotherhood.” It is a good time to commit to growing the amount of faith and hope in your life, to commit to developing a deeper connection with your spiritual system and to be increasingly open to guidance related to your life mission.

“Faith is not merely a way of knowing: it is a way of participating.” Robert Ellwood
