*NEW MOON* in Pisces on March 17th is being called a healing Moon, for it will reveal much that is needing to be healed.

With a lot of fiery energy in the air, it’s vital to take deep breaths, slow down and take time to turn inward for reflection and revelation.

These seas must be traversed with much compassion for self and other.

This current passage has the potential to bring about a great healing, as we feel and address the spaces that have been stirring deep pain for us.

We have an opportunity to become more aware in the midst, opening our hearts and our perceptions.

We are all in the ongoing process of personal and collective evolution, and everyday we are being challenged to surrender the choices that bind and open up to new way, while holding ourselves and others ever so gently.

Here are the MYSTIC MAMMA Astral Insights from our beloved readers of the planetary movements. First from the insightful PAM YOUNGHANS from her North Point Astrology:

“A lot has happened over the last eight weeks! As we move through the days before Saturday’s New Moon, it is a good time to breathe through and release any tension that we are holding onto.

“If we can accept and allow what has been rather than fighting against it, we are better prepared to take advantage of the new lunar cycle and to welcome its gifts… 

“Jupiter in Scorpio (which just went retrograde March 9th) sends us on a journey into the depths of our collective psyche, into realms that we might often avoid because they seem too dark.

“With this influence in effect, we have more courage to face difficult issues that until now have been ignored or hidden.

“Jupiter reveals secrets while in Scorpio, bringing to light an intricate web of intrigue.

“As we acknowledge truth, we transmute the fear and other negative emotions that have held us captive. 

“Eventually, we emerge as more empowered beings, having learned that we are capable of navigating through the darkness.

“As a result, we do not merely survive the journey; instead, we triumph…”

“The Sun and Moon are closely conjunct Chiron at that time, allowing us to call this a Healing and Completion Moon.

“While in Pisces, Chiron is both revealing and healing the wound of separation — from our source and from each other.

“As we heal, we let go of the need to control, compartmentalize, and judge…

“The planet Mars is in late Sagittarius…conjunct the asteroid Vesta and closely square the New Moon. This adds a note of contention to the event, representing a thorn in our side.

“In spite of our Piscean yearning to be cosmically in tune, in unity, and at peace, we continue to deal with conflicts of belief.

“We still judge, usually perceiving ourselves as right and others as wrong, keeping the battle alive both internally and externally.

“The message of this New Moon is one of great healing, but the square to Mars/Vesta indicates an obstacle to that healing, through our ego’s need to identify with a cause.

“The enormous question remains: How can we be true to our ideals, take action according to what we believe in, while also adopting and integrating the concept of oneness?

“This is not an easy task, even for the most high minded or spiritually inclined. It truly takes a release of attachment and an elevation of perspective to embrace this paradox while maintaining the strength of our convictions.”

From the wise LEAH WHITEHORSE from her LUA Astrology:

“This New Moon is supported by Chiron and Jupiter, so we’re focused on building bridges and quiet understanding.

“However, the Moon is also square to Mars, so we still have that drive to jump ahead, to fight, to compete. Some may feel defeated or like they’re giving up.

“But if we’re willing to go within and allow for silence, profound soul healing can occur.

“Mars enters Capricorn also on March 17, so the urgency of Sagittarius gives way to a much more patient vibration.

“Mars is exalted in Capricorn, so he works well through this sign. Here he is less impetuous, more restrained. We have fortitude and endurance and we’re playing the long game.

“Mars will spend longer in Capricorn than he does usually as a retrograde later in the year will see him revisit this sign.

“It emphasizes that right now, it’s important to focus on what we want for the long term rather than to apply quick fixes – something Mars square Chiron by the way, is apt to do!”

From CHAD WOODWARD from his Kosmic Mind:

“Pisces is amorphous, mystical, and gentle, but this lunation is anything but easy-going or light.

“At the final degree of Sagittarius, Mars makes a hard square aspect to the New Moon, while the centaur object Chiron sits in close conjunction. Some may experience the surfacing of trauma, frustration, or even conflict…

“For those deeply sensitive, you might feel connected to the rising of collective fear, anger, and rage. You might sense the truth that pain is an inevitable part of living.

“And reflected in that pain, is your own piece of it. In its negative face, this New Moon can be emotionally overwhelming and acting out or projecting frustration could easily hit the wrong targets.

“This New Moon invites us inward, to reflect on the source of our pain, but it offers a way to take the steps needed toward transforming it into gifts for the benefit of others.

“For this New Moon to manifest positively, we may need to really look beyond ourselves and consider things from a more holistic vantage point.

“Chiron’s presence at this New Moon juncture suggests a shift of attitude and perception about your faults, wounds, and defects.

“And Mars’ square, while challenging and aggravating, can just as easily catalyze action toward the manifestation of new healing potentials.

“Jupiter makes an auspicious trine aspect to the New Moon as well, which gives access to hope, optimism, and the awareness of new doors opening.

“While Jupiter can, of course, dramatize or amplify the negative aspects of this New Moon, it stands as a beacon of new possibility and support.

“Situations which arise under this lunation are not as dire or hopeless as they may at first appear.

“In fact, this New Moon works to alter our perception of dysfunctional or ‘broken’ elements in our lives so we can see their positive impact, and how they fit into a larger, cosmic scheme.

“If you could reframe just one thing in your life that stands a source of deep pain, what would it be?

“…Use this New Moon as a dynamic starting point for learning to surrender…”

And from PAT LILES from The Power Path.com:

“New Moon in Pisces invites us to take a deep breath and exhale everything that keeps us separate from our own connection to the dreamtime, the Wakan, the Great Mystery. 

“Here is the opening to take the deep dive into the Void – a deeper intelligence permeating all life. 

“Here we are called to surrender our burdens as we are held by the limitless ocean of consciousness. 

“We feel the compassion and acceptance of the Tao, and our own ability to forgive and accept ‘what is’ is strengthened so we may extend the same to others. 

“There is a time for being and a time for doing.  This is most definitely a time for being…

“We are supported to connect with our own inner guidance.  So much is being offered for our awakening and healing and many are rising to the occasion.

“This Moon’s alignment is Chiron’s parting gift in Pisces as preparation is made to change signs in April into Aries moving out of a feminine, water sign and into the masculine, fire sign Aries for the next 7 years…

“Chiron has facilitated the healing of women bringing them into personal wholeness as they reveal the unspoken repression of millennium… The feminine wounds have been awakened and heard in Chiron’s sojourn through Pisces.  Reconciliation is powerfully underway. 

“Now Chiron is ready to bring his healing magic to bear in Aries for our brothers, fathers, lovers and our own inner masculine and to teach us of the healing power of the archetypal masculine’s right use of action, protection and balance.

“On New Moon day March 17, Mars, ruler of Aries… will change signs and move into Capricorn… Mars will be in a challenging square relationship to the Sun/Moon/Chiron at New Moon. 

“Stay calm and grounded, keep busy and avoid the heat of anger; focus your restlessness and irritability into action, drive mindfully, reflect before you blurt, soothe your liver…

“The swell of New Moon in Pisces and Mars’ shift into Capricorn is only the beginning. 

“Within days (March 20), the Sun shifts into 0ºAries at Equinox…Two days later, Mercury goes retrograde at 16+º Aries… Aries retrograde is a time when we can observe our inner masculine and bring it into balance. 

“We can watch the collective events in the news recognizing that the Aries, Mars and masculine energies are on display. 

“Spirit has arranged for an intensification of events to focus our attention on the current masculine power system and how it operates.

“With Jupiter in Scorpio retrograde (23º) generously trining the Sun/Moon/Chiron, our path is eased and open to understanding the larger perspective of the transformation we, as a species and a planet, are traversing. 

“Jupiter in the sign of death and rebirth helps us own our part in the dance reflected to us from the outer world and transform it into an inclusive, cooperative expanded vision. 

“We are the visionaries we have been waiting for.”
