“Your intention holds a loving and secure place for you as you go through challenging moments.” Kyle Cease

A few years ago when I was studying with a school of shamanism out west, I called the office hoping to have some questions answered. The woman who answered the phone said she’d connect me with the director. But minutes later, she came back on and said,” I’m sorry there’s no one here right now – the office is empty. I think they went out to the canyon to do a ritual – today’s the Vernal Equinox.”

Throughout time the Equinoxes and Solstices have been powerful times for ritual and intention setting. There are several indications of this with the upcoming Spring Equinox on Saturday at 5:37 AM EDT as well.

Pallas Athene the asteroid of strategy and advocacy is conjunct Mercury in Pisces. Mercury in Pisces is about your higher aspirations and when conjunct Pallas lends extra power for actualization .

Mars in Gemini is conjunct the North Node indicating energetic progress can be made on your intended path. Jupiter is making a favorable alignment with the Moon indicating a time of increased hope and optimism.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,” A seer gazes intently into a crystal ball before her.”

“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science.” Albert Einstein

Mercury, the planet of thought and communication will enter the mysterious sign of Pisces on Monday this week ushering in a time that bodes well for mystical journeys, dreams and the imagination. It is a time when intuition is strong.

Both the Sun and Venus will make a harmonious aspect to Pluto this week strengthening efforts towards personal transformation -especially in the realms of finance, relationships and self esteem.

Mars will make a harmonious alignment with Chiron, the asteroid of the Wounded Healer indicating a good time to think about how we direct power to achieve what we want. It’s a good time to make adjustments if necessary.

On Saturday March 20 the Sun will leave the watery sign of Pisces and enter the fiery sign of Aries, marking the time of the Spring Equinox at 5:37 AM EDT. The first degree of Aries marks the place of new beginnings. It is a good week leading up to the Equinox to make space for a new start and new dreams and aspirations.

One of the Sabian symbols for this time is,”A woman has risen out of the ocean, a seal is embracing her.”
