The Week Ahead
Monday March 1 thru Sunday March 7
Astrological Highlights for the week: Mars enters Gemini on Wednesday.
With Mars, the planet of motivation and action, having spent six months in Aries through summer and fall of 2020, it feels like we have had few chances to talk about how he operates in the other zodiac signs. However, that long journey through Aries, which included a retrograde pattern, is in our rear view mirror. Mars is full steam ahead charging through the cosmos at his typical speed averaging about six weeks in each sign. On the 6th of January he left Aries for Taurus and now right on schedule, he's headed for Gemini on Wednesday, March 3rd.
You have probably heard Earth is the third planet from the Sun, with Mercury and Venus orbiting between us and the Sun. Mars is the first planet orbiting outside of the Earth's orbital path, taking longer to make the complete trip around the sun – about 687 days – compared to the Earth's one year. Why is this important? Astrologically speaking, the planets symbolize psychological processes. Mars represents our looking and reaching out beyond ourselves. Mars is our inner fire, how we are aroused, sexual drive, aggression, and desire.
One of my favorite thoughts about Mars comes from Astrologer Caroline W. Casey who wrote "The gods did not place desires in our psyche for them to be thwarted or disappointed, but rather as in incentive to growth. Desires are our instructional blueprint of the possible." Will you ever think of the God of War and Agriculture the same again?
Mars represents desire, what motivates us, and how we take action. Look at the sign of Mars in your natal chart and you will have a keen insight into what adventure looks like, your heroes, your rules for engagement and code of honor, what provokes you to anger and to action, and what tempts you to turn into a fanatic. When Mars is expressing through mentally agile and curious Gemini, what does it look like? For starters, we are passionate about ideas and sharing them. We are insatiable when it comes to gathering information, checking into things and broadening our exposure to new ideas and people. Notice I said broadening instead of deepening. A shadow side of Mars in Gemini can be the tendency to race through experiences without going deep; we desire exposure and a taste, not necessarily expertise or mastery of a subject.
That's not to say Mars in Gemini is superficial. In fact the love of words and communication is a driving force behind many famous authors and influential orators including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jeffrey Archer, Neale Donald Walsh, Richard Bach and Martin Luther King Jr. With Mars in Gemini our communications may be more lively, verbose, and energetic. Is it just me, or are people talking faster and louder?
During this cycle expect to be voicing your passions and your dreams. We'll be energized to learn, speak, teach, and explore interesting ideas. We're all in for social activities and opportunities to mix with other people. Even though Mars is a planet of action, don't be surprised in mental Gemini if we put more effort into thinking and talking about ideas than in acting on them. Consider this a time of fertile possibilities where examining a multitude of ideas is more appealing than choosing just one or two. However, this does not preclude taking meaningful action. Sooner or later it's important to choose a path of action and get moving.
I'll leave you with this amusing but telling quote from astrologer Skye Alexander writing about Mars in Gemini. "You collect vocabulary words the way athletes collect trophies and the only muscles you care about building up are mental ones."
Enjoy!
Until next week, let go and wear loose clothes.

Someone once told me the reason there are so few car crashes on the island of Bali is because the people know how to dance. Today with the Moon in graceful Libra we are reminded that artistry is not just for the artist, the studio, or for the craft room. Libra artistry can be a way of life, even when we are driving. The Moon makes three connections today, all with planets in fellow air sign Aquarius. No promises, but we may feel a bit like we are dancing through our day with these very positive and flowing alliances. The first is with Saturn in the very early morning so many will not notice it; although it might take our sleep to a deeper state with interesting ideas floating through our dreams.
Mid-day the Moon aligns with Mercury making this a great time to connect, network, and share ideas. In mid-afternoon, there is a rush of optimism as the Moon is infused with hope through a link to unrestrained Jupiter.
This is a good day to begin an artistic project and to find ways to inject more creativity into everything you do. It's also the right time to practice moving through your day with grace and thanksgiving. Even during the pandemic lockdown and extreme weather we can look around our immediate surroundings and be appreciative of what's going right and find ways to touch everyone and everything with beauty. Note at least one thing to celebrate today – a home that protects and supports you, a friend who always has your back, or maybe a dog or cat who believes you are god's gift to the world.
Daily Muse: Show a little faith, there's magic in the night. (Bruce Springsteen – Moon, Mercury, Neptune and South Node of the Moon in Libra)

Moon in Libra/Scorpio
The Moon goes Void of Course 6:09am enters Scorpio 12:38pm
|
The day starts on a rough note with the Moon in diplomatic Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn. People may be demanding and obstinate so unless you are looking for a showdown you might want to skip the early morning chit-chat. Although lunar aspects are fleeting, they can also be profound. With Pluto involved, nothing is superficial. It"s a reminder to harmony-seeking Libra that beauty is more than skin deep. Looks aren't everything. Creativity that comes from the soul can be a journey processing and expressing pain or an act of sacrifice. It"s also a reminder the life events we see as crises can also be cathartic, therapeutic, and healing. Life can be messy.
When the Moon squares Pluto at 6:09 am (Pacific Time) it then retreats into a void of course pattern until mid-day when it slips into the mysterious sign of Scorpio. Since Pluto is the ruler of this penetrating and transforming sign we may continue to experience the emotional tone set this morning. If we are willing to go deeper into our feelings, revelations become transformative and intuition galvanizes action to be taken later. This Moon energy is a fertile soup of possibilities that may seem scattered today, but takes shape tomorrow and beyond.
The above is all well and good, fantastic actually. However, on an emotional level we are probably feeling vulnerable and a bit raw today. Be gentle with yourself and others as the sensitivity meter is cranked up to “High".
Daily Muse: The most important thing is that you have to listen to your truths, desires and wants. And you have to believe you deserve all of it. (Whoopi Goldberg – Sun, Moon, Mercury and Saturn in Scorpio)

Moon in Scorpio
Mars enters Gemini 7:29pm
|
There is a lot of cosmic activity today so fasten your seat belts. The Moon in complex Scorpio is busy all through the early morning hours. Many will sleep through at least three of the lunar links that occur long before dawn including an opposition with Uranus and a square with Saturn.
Between February and December 2021 authoritarian Saturn in Aquarius is dancing in and out of a conflicting square with revolutionary Uranus. They are poking, prodding, and generally provoking each other into making adjustments and changes. Of course, the planets don’t change at all. Their relationships and disagreements are symbols for those of us willing to see and hear. These energies resonate within our lives as irritation, discomfort, and finally as omens for how we can make needed and beneficial changes that can ripple outwards for the greater good.
Every time the Moon and other planets trigger this sensitivity between Saturn and Uranus we get a new opportunity to look at how to resolve the conflict. Today Luna isn’t just connecting with these two characters she is also making friends with the Sun in Pisces; but she’s back to stirring up trouble with squares to Mercury and Jupiter (in Aquarius) in late afternoon. It’s almost like we have a chip on our shoulder and we consequently are having a hard time moving through our day without feeling resentful or annoyed.
This morning we have help navigating this murky mood when Venus in compassionate Pisces reaches out to Uranus in Taurus. Together they can help us imagine how to deftly side-step emotional landmines. In relationships and in financial transactions we may experience a bit of unexpected magic as new and creative suggestions are welcome. Whenever Uranus is involved the answers we are seeking are original and innovative. Look for the bright spot to cheer your day.
Mars, the planet of motivation and action, makes an important move today – out of Taurus and into the mental communication sign of Gemini. Mars represents desire, what motivates us, and how we take action. When Mars is expressing through mentally agile and curious Gemini, what does it look like? For starters, we are passionate about ideas and sharing them. We are insatiable when it comes to gathering information, checking into things and broadening our exposure to new ideas and people. Notice I said broadening instead of deepening. A shadow side of Mars in Gemini can be the tendency to race through experiences without going deep; we desire exposure and a taste, not necessarily expertise about a subject.
That’s not to say Mars in Gemini is superficial. In fact the love of words and communication is a driving spirit behind many famous authors and influential orators including F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jeffrey Archer, Neale Donald Walsh, Richard Bach and Martin Luther King Jr. With Mars in Gemini our communications may be more lively, verbose, and energetic. Is it just me, or are people talking faster and louder?
During this cycle expect to be voicing your passions and your dreams. We’ll be energized to learn, speak, teach, and explore interesting ideas. We’re all in for social activities and opportunities to mix with other people. Even though Mars is a planet of action, don’t be surprised in mental Gemini if we put more effort into thinking and talking about ideas than in acting on them. Consider this a time of fertile possibilities where examining a multitude of ideas is more appealing than choosing just one or two. However, this does not preclude taking meaningful action. Sooner or later it’s important to choose a path of action and get moving.
This evening ends on a much sweeter note than it began. The Moon in introspective Scorpio makes a harmonizing link to Neptune in Pisces. Able to touch our empathetic powers we appreciate that it’s not just us that sometimes feel rejected and misunderstood. We can touch this feeling in others and together we can find comfort and hope.
Daily Muse: That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong. (F. Scott Fitzgerald – Mars conjunct Neptune in Gemini)

March 4
Moon in Scorpio/Sagittarius
The Moon goes Void of Course 8:09am enters Sagittarius 2:43pm
|
The Scorpio Moon is still setting a vulnerable and sensitive tone this morning that is hard to shake. Luna's connection to Pluto this morning makes it possible we can transform attitudes of being a victim into taking more personal responsibility. But beware of the temptation to find a scapegoat. It seems much easier to blame someone else than to admit we are actively interpreting interactions and events on our own.
The Moon is drifting void of course until mid-afternoon when its entry into hopeful Sagittarius provides an emotional reprieve from some of our darker feelings. Emotions are powerfully motivating when the Moon opposes Mars in communicative Gemini. With Mercury closing the gap between itself and Jupiter throughout the day and into the early evening there is a strong tendency to use words as weapons or as peace offerings. It’s our choice. Either way, expect lots of words and ideas to be bandied back and forth. Jupiter tends to expand and exaggerate so when it connects with the thinking and communication planet Mercury, you know the drill for this evening.
Daily Muse: What's happening is merely what's happening. How you feel about it is another matter. (Neale Donald Walsch – Mars conjunct Uranus in Gemini)

March 5
Moon in Sagittarius
|
The Moon in Sagittarius is usually pretty upbeat but that might not keep us from feeling disconnected from a loved one this morning when Luna squares Venus in emotional Pisces. With the Moon also having connected to organized Saturn early this morning, some people are feeling the need to stick by an agenda and take care of responsibilities. Others are looking for emotional support and can’t understand why taking care of details is more important than their emotional needs. It’s probably hard to keep all the people happy today when priorities are different.
This evening the Moon enters the fourth and final quarter of its cycle so we are feeling even more urgency to wrap things up before the next New Moon on March 13th. Harmonizing lunar links with Jupiter and Mercury this evening facilitate easy conversation as we are able to see a bigger picture that encompasses a greater range of priorities. Honest communications lead to decisions that everybody can support.
Daily Muse: Boredom between two people doesn't come from being together physically. It comes from being apart mentally and spiritually. (Richard Bach – Mars, Mercury and Chiron in Gemini.)

March 6
Moon in Sagittarius/Capricorn
The Moon goes Void of Course 1:44 am enters Caprion 6:20pm
|
We may continue to sort through shared priorities and responsibilities today attempting to find equitable solutions that everyone can support or at least accept. Everyone’s truth may be different and with the Moon in Sagittarius, we can get attached to our version of the facts. It’s wise to tap the energy of Mars in Gemini to keep the channels of communication open and flowing.
We may not be feeling charitable – emotionally or financially – tonight when the Moon enters strict Capricorn. This Moon can sometimes be ridged regarding the rules and guarded when it comes to giving out money and affection. Our nurturing nature may be stifled if someone isn’t meeting our needs or living up to agreements. Think of an authoritarian parent – no chores; no allowance! If we are feeling impoverished – financially or emotionally – it’s hard to feel generous with others. It’s also hard to feel generous of spirit if we are feeling mistreated or misunderstood in a relationship.
Keep talking and expressing your feelings. It may not change anyone’s mind, except your own.
Daily Muse: The way to move out of judgment is to move into gratitude. (Neale Donald Walsh – Moon in Capricorn)

March 7
Moon in Capricorn
|
The Capricorn Moon energy can still feel a bit austere this morning but we have the chance to break out of our self-imposed isolation with Luna finding a friend in Uranus. Maybe things are not as bad as we believed or possibly we misunderstood someone’s actions. Someone spending time finalizing a will or trust or filling out financial aid or loan forms may believe they are loving us through their responsible actions while we just feel ignored by busy work. The person attending to details and working at a job may be demonstrating their love in these actions. Whatever the case we may be feeling alone or overlooked, Uranus encourages us to look outside our usual comfort zone for an alternative view of things.
Tonight the Moon gets cozy with Venus in Pisces. It’s time to forego selfish demands and find ways to reconnect with loved ones.
Daily Muse: Sexiness wears thin after awhile and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that is a treat. (Joanne Woodward – Sun and Venus in Pisces)

I recently introduced a new computerized report called the Vocation Report. Not two weeks later I was introduced to a series of Numerology Reports by the amazing Hans Decoz. The fun thing about numerology is that it doesn't need a time of birth but it does need the name that is on your birth certificate no matter what it is now. These reports are detailed, fun and factual. They range from personality reports to in-depth compatibility reports, they even have one that is 9 years long!

There are four Cardinal Virtues. They are: Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence, and Justice. These four ideals of proper behavior have been with us, in one form or another, since ancient times. It was thought that by applying these virtues to our everyday life, we wouldn't be led away from our path. This was not only an issue of morality, but also had down to earth purposes. The Virtues were meant to protect an individual in any given situation at any time.
These four virtues are to be found in every legitimate Tarot deck and are there for a reason. They were included in the first decks because Tarot was patterned on classical and religious beliefs that dominated Western culture during the 14th and 15th centuries. This act of including the Virtues and other examples of strong morality was brilliant, as gambling was frowned upon, as was any game of chance, or even enjoyment in some times. By emblazoning the cards with familiar moral and religious iconography, the cards were allowed to exist and even flourish. There was a lot of wisdom involved in the design of the original Tarot.
Of those 4 virtues, I'd like to focus on Prudence. The word comes from the Latin, "Prudentia," meaning the possession of foresight and sage wisdom. It would seem to imply the ability to look forward and understand how our actions might affect the future. It means being conscious, in the moment, and not losing control of one's actions or words in such a way that the outcome is unpredictable. Being prudent means thinking about how we affect others, and more importantly, evaluating how their reaction could directly impact us.
We've all been exposed to toxic amounts of hyperbolic rhetoric in reference to just about everything in our culture. From politics to the pandemic, and everything in between, we've become as polarized as a rare earth magnet. Personally, I'm sick and tired of it, but unfortunately my rate of emotional exhaustion to the events of the past year has nothing to do with the fact that we can't let down our guard yet. Should you need evidence of this, watch the news cycle this weekend, which will undoubtedly be fueled by adrenaline filled reports of how the forces of division are still doing their best to make sure that the healing doesn't yet begin. This has nothing to do with one side or the other. I wish it did, as it would then be easier to place responsibility. It isn't that simple.
That being the case, it makes sense for us to prepare ourselves for the world the way it is and will be for a while. Here are a couple ideas I think are important to consider.
Don't take the bait. I was on the phone with my brother one day when he dropped a verbal hook into the water. I realized I was being set up, so I didn't go for it. He then put a juicy worm on the end of that hook and tried again. This time I snapped at it, felt the hook set and then swam with all my might. I launched into a verbal tirade for several minutes until I was exhausted. I stopped to catch my breath, only to hear my brother laughing on the other end of the line. I'd been had. Prudence means thinking before reacting.
One of the most important places to be prudent is on the Internet. They say diamonds are forever, but whatever you've done on the web will probably outlast them. It isn't a matter of being embarrassed of what you've said or done. It's simply an understanding that playing into the game isn't always the healthiest idea and that your descendants will one day be able to read your words, well-chosen or not. Prudence means realizing that everything we do is now a part of the public record and that the public can be incredibly nasty.
There are more bits and bobs that I could posit, but you already know them. A lot of this is common sense, so be prudent and use your sense, as well as your intuition, to stay out of situations that truly have no merit at the current time. When it comes time again to act, we will all know it. Let others froth at the mouth. I'd just as soon give the whole thing a break, even if others won't. This fish is staying out of the water for a while.
Until next week, I wish you all peace and love.

Disappointment
We often experience disappointment over unfulfilled hopes and dreams. It begins in childhood when we believe that we can be or do anything we can imagine until someone older tells us different and we begin to believe more in our limitations than our abilities and dreams.
Disappointments are part of life; things just don’t always turn out the way we want them to. We don’t always bring our A game and neither does anyone else, but most of the time we get over it. Sometimes, however, we don’t, and we may not even realize that we are harboring disappointment over something that may have happened years ago.
Unlike its obvious emotional counterparts, resentment or anger, disappointment is subtle. It may just be a tinge of sadness that accompanies a memory. But subtle or not, it is taking up space in our space. It is important to process disappointment when we become aware of it because left unaddressed it can grow into regret and regret can become a bottomless pit if we entertain it.
The way to process disappointment is to grieve it because it represents loss, the loss of something that could have been. So, give it its due, have the memory and have your uncensored feelings about it. Then set it free so that you can focus on present time hopes and dreams.
Have a very blessed week

Weekly Grace
Welcome to another edition my loves! I hope you are finding ways to enjoy life to the absolute fullest!
I must tell you, I just watched this documentary film last night about a man that comes from the year 3036. I admit I am not sold that he is actually a time traveler, but it was worth the watch. You can find it on Tubi, which by the way, is an amazing resource in and of itself. A bunch of movies for free without a subscription! Check it out.
Back to the point, this man was caught in Pinellas County, I believe Florida, shoplifting fruit. When they arrested him, he admitted he was from the future and believed all fruit to be free (a misunderstanding). He was bald and had absolutely no hair on his body. He said that everyone has a chip in their hands and the radiation causes baldness.
Here's where things get interesting: they found the chip in his hand. They also tested his genealogy twice, with two separate companies, to find that he had no DNA link to any currently known ethnic groups. Freaky!
Then, he said that everyone in his time has unusually high amounts of metal in their system. They performed a toxicology report that came back highly unusual with extremely high amount of metals.
Now, if this were an elaborate hoax, at least the parts verified by the police we can not reject so easily. But whether he is or isn't a time traveler, I'll still reveal his account of the future:
(**spoiler warning**)
Everyone lives in pods, not homes, that protect you from radiation poisoning because Earth is so uninhabitable. Time travel does exist but only for certain government clearances. People no longer have romantic relationships, but rather, get 3xs a year to attempt procreation. If people are caught procreating outside of this system, the baby is taken and perhaps killed and used for food.
Uhm, what..... (keep reading)
So basically things are like a very intense version of 1984, except even worse. No love and no hair: no one has hair due to radiation poisoning. Everyone had to have a chip in their hand to go to school, travel, have a job, etc. The only ones that don't follow the rules live below the city in tunnels. They call themselves the "believers" as some of them still believe in religion, which has been pretty much obliterated at this point.
There is no entertainment. You may only read books for learning but can get in trouble if it's for pleasure. Around 2050's he says there is a 5-year blackout and it takes about 20 years for all internet and power to come back on. There is a world war, supposedly, between US, EU, Russia, Iran and China. Apparently, USA loses and corporations including Bill Gates, Amazon, and Gaza take over. He also mentions the Rothchilds, as do a lot of conspiracy theorists about the New World Order and The Illuminati.
So, yes, this man gets quite freaky in his testimony. Including that the world is essentially ruled by a corporation rather than a government. And cellphones are extremely dangerous by the way (which he might actually be right about, we don't really know).
He also always wears a mask because of dangers he never really goes into detail about. He also says there is going to be a vaccine war because the microchips that go into us do something-- I forget. It's a lot of conspiracy stuff you can read about vaccines and whatnot. But if people don't take them, billions die from disease, he says.
Then, here's when this awful dystopia of a world he describes gets even more crazy: 3036 is the end. The Annunaki, the superior race that actually live on Planet X or Nebula, decide to come back and I suppose end the human race all together? And so that's why this man, Sebastain, left his time period and ended up here by mistakes
Oh, I also forget all large animals are extinct. So if you went into a zoo, you'd find squirrels, cats, dogs, etc. Things we take for granted.
So if you've read this far you are probably thinking, "what the hell, Grace?" And I am there with you!
Again, I wasn't sold. But there was something still refreshing about the experience. My brother watched it and I think was a little sold, and said he was never again going to take things for granted. And THAT'S the point of all of this.
We have had a hard go of things for the past 1.5 years or so. And though we are so guilty of negative cognitions, it is essential that we realize we have so much more freedom now than, who knows.
We don't know what the future will hold. We don't know if we will lose all the big animals and our cell phones. We don't know if the world will be uninhabitable.
We don't know if governments or corporations will take over and treat us like robots (I forgot to mention there are actual robots).
What we do know is there are a lot of beautiful things all around us every day that we take for granted. In my area, there is a specific breed of black squirrels. You know how squirrels have stripped colors and what not-- these are all black like a black cat. They're particularly fluffy and cute, too!!! Imagine, if you woke up one day, and something so little and so cute was gone. Wouldn't you have wished you appreciated it when you had it?
I would. I would regret taking for granted everything that allowed me freedom and contentment. I would regret not appreciating the little things that make life so wonderful.
So I wanted to share this story with you so perhaps we can all appreciate what we have. Perhaps you don't have a mansion (I don't either), but even the tiniest apartment is better than a pod! I'm grateful for our air and wildlife. I'm grateful for my hair (even though I'm convinced it's falling out). I'm grateful for my cat. I'm grateful I get to freely love. I'm grateful I am not apart of the United States of Amazon... cause OMG would that not be good! Lol. But I guess shipping would get there overnight.
I am just GRATEFUL!
And I hope you are, too. So let's keep on finding reasons for it. And keep loving each other, as best we can.
Blessings,
Grace
