Friday, March 20, 2015 will mark a very<\/em> powerful alignment of energies that will burn you up if you\u2019re not careful, or propel you like a rocket if you make use of them!<\/p>\n

Three major events are taking place, with several other events happening in the background.\u00a0 First, it\u2019s the Spring Equinox, one of two days of the year when day and night are exactly equal.\u00a0 There\u2019s a solar eclipse (!), and a Supermoon. Although they will be separated by a few hours, astronomical events aren\u2019t like switching on and off a light switch, so we\u2019ll be feeling the effects all at<\/p>\n

\"You'll<\/a>
You’ll feel it, even if you can’t see it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

once, in some cases leading up to it and days, or even weeks afterwards.<\/p>\n

One quick side note: Astrology is like a weather report, it doesn\u2019t *guarantee* anything, just like a 50% chance of rain doesn\u2019t mean a single drop will fall, or a guarantee of warm weather doesn\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be a blizzard!\u00a0 So don\u2019t make too<\/em> big of a deal about this, or any other astrologically based thing you read, it\u2019s just given you a clue to the flow of energy around you.\u00a0 OK? OK. \u00a0So let\u2019s look at how all these events intertwine, and what it means to you.<\/p>\n

\u201cA new moon occurs when the moon passes in front of the earth and comes between the sun and earth. A solar eclipse occurs when the new moon passes directly in front of the earth blocking out the sun\u2019s light. A super moon, or pedigree moon, occurs when the moon is at its closest point to earth in its orbit. At this time its effects on the Earth\u2019s oceans are larger than average. This is also a new eclipse cycle. Every 19 years eclipses occur in the same place and this is the first of a new cycle of eclipses in Pisces by the south node of the moon.<\/p>\n

To have all of these factors coincide together is unusual to say the least.\u201d (source<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Solar eclipses function like new moons on steroids, and the fact that is happening during a Supermoon<\/em> should make this an especially powerful time.\u00a0 Since this is all happening in the sign of Pisces, which is about dreams, emotions, and introspection, very odd dreams and VERY high emotions should be expected.\u00a0 Eclipses are also a time that our ego gets blocked, allowing our true selves to shine through, giving us a chance to sort of reboot. If you fell a bit short on those New Year\u2019s Resolutions<\/a>, this is a fantastic time to start over again.<\/p>\n

But along with that is a chance for greater empathy and an understanding of what\u2019s going on in the hearts and minds of our fellow human beings. Mercury, planet of communication will also be in Pisces, and this is the end of a 3-year-long cycle of Uranus and Pluto being square to each other, which is all about social justice and change.\u00a0 It\u2019s no coincidence the march on Selma happened under these conditions, and the Ferguson demonstrations happened under this one.\u00a0 Take this time to look not only within yourself, but outside of yourself to see how your actions and inactions are affecting the world around you.<\/p>\n

Next, roughly 13 hours later the Spring (Vernal) Equinox begins. As we talked about before the equinox is about a time of transition<\/a>.\u00a0 Where the Autumnal Equinox was about turning inwards, focusing on yourself, and planting seeds and making plans, the Vernal Equinox is about moving forward and expanding.\u00a0 Just like the Earth is starting to wake up from its winter nap in an explosion of new life, this is the time for you to start pushing into new and uncharted territories.\u00a0 That book you\u2019ve been meaning to write? Start it.\u00a0 That class you want to take? Enroll. Now is the time to start emerging from your cave!<\/p>\n

So in conclusion, take this time to look inside yourself for clarity.\u00a0 Answers on where you\u2019ve gone wrong, what you should be doing, and what really matters to you; and above all else: Be HONEST with yourself.<\/p>\n

Take what you find there, and put it into action; ride the wave of the planet\u2019s forward push to start making progress of your own. And as always, do SOMETHING every single day<\/a> to get you closer to where you\u2019re trying to go.<\/p>\n

This is going to be one of the most powerful times of introspection possible, and it\u2019s either going to be a time of breakdowns or breakthroughs, so don\u2019t take it personally if people are overly emotional or just aren\u2019t themselves.\u00a0 Keep your head up, go with the flow, and keep moving forward!<\/p>\n
