March Equinox: Revolution of the Heart

Mar 01, 2020

Today is a powerful day - one honored by many ancient cultures. The Sun enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, and we begin the astrological new year with Equinox. We look to the chart of this moment to be a map for the entire year.

Earth is the strongest element at this portal time, showing us our physical reality is greatly affected. Yet, important shifts will be happening soon as planets move into Air, showing us the importance of our Mind in the face of rapid material changes.

The world as we know it is ending and we are being called to write a new story. Will we choose more tyranny or the resurrection of our ancient Earth wisdom?

The Sun meets Chiron right away at this shift into Aries. The Masculine principle is on a vision quest to heal his fear of his sacred power. He must claim this to take leadership and protect all life on Earth.

Tune in at 8:50 pm Pacific time to sense if you can feel the shift of the Sun into Aries. Moving from watery, dreamy, diffuse Pisces into fiery, focused, passionate Aries can be dramatic. Can you calibrate to it and let your bones remember the importance of the seasonal shifts to orient us to the Sun's radiance?

This is one gloriously raw beginning to an epic year that will ripple for the rest of our lives. We are being asked to meet it like Warriors of Heart. We can honor this moment through simple ceremony and offerings of food, flower, light, songs, and taking time to meditate, pray, receive our inner wisdom.

The format of the 5-Day Cellular Detox has been revised to be a free, online resource for those who want support around staying well during this challenging time. Read to the end to learn more.

The Sky Story has been pointing to this critical choice point for humanity in 2020 and we now cross the threshold. Global transformation is real and we have never been more connected. The greatest challenges are here. The most potent medicine is here.

The time of the Solar Feminine has arrived and she lights the path into the future. The key to our evolution is living more deeply in our bodies and realizing our luminous nature.

The invitation is to 1) to allow our wild, open, curious hearts to see, listen and feel multiple perspectives and 2) to trust our bodies and inner knowing 3) to express the truth of our hearts.

The Coronavirus is catalyzing a radical restructuring as we enter 2020 and a New Age. We have been activated into survival fears of sickness and death. The stock market is plummeting, WHO has declared a global pandemic, borders are being closed, military forces deployed, government funds allocated.

For the first time in our life, we have been ordered to shelter in our homes while all but the most essential businesses close their doors. We are all living this together, like a dream.

All this correlates to the line up of planets in Capricorn - the productive Earth sign that indicates both Dominator Culture and ancient Earth Wisdom Culture. Issues of abuse of power are coming to ahead. We are living through the end of dominator culture that has ruled the planet for longer than our oldest written stories.

Capricorn indicates our social structures. The blessing of this sign is taking leadership to more effectively bring our offering to the world. Wherever Capricorn lands in our personal charts, we are being challenged to cultivate more discipline and maturity so that we may show up for what is ours to do.

Today, there will be 4 planets in Capricorn plus the major asteroid Pallas Athena, Strategic Warrioress, and the South Node, a point of release of entrenched patterns in the collective.

Pluto shifted into Capricorn in 2008 and these themes have been building in the background since that time. Pluto relentlessly and slowly reveals the underbelly. Pluto is associated with the Underworld, power, reproduction, and rebirth, subconscious forces beneath the surface. Pluto rules pandemics.

When Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, Venus was right next to the planet of Transformation, as if to show that the cure lies within the poisons. The toxic nature of our culture has been revealed to us in greater detail in the past twelve years. As if to remind us, Venus was again next to Pluto again on December 13th, as China identified a new viral outbreak in Wuhan.

Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, met with Pluto in Capricorn on January 12th opening a new 33-year cycle and suggesting a restructuring of our most basic societal systems.

Saturn is The Great Restrictor, which represents mastery gained through facing fear and finding the power of our inner authority. Days before this meet up, the gene sequencing of the virus was published. On January 12th, the WHO published initial travel advice.

Saturn is in the final degree of Capricorn and will shift into Aquarius on March 21st. Aquarius, also ruled by Saturn, is the sign of technology, innovation, genius, revolution, networks, the internet, exchange of ideas, travel, and groups who share a vision. Expect more restrictions in all of these areas during the first phase of Saturn's placement here. We may confront authoritarianism in the guise of progress.

Jupiter, the Great Expander, has been in Capricorn since December 3rd and will meet up with Pluto exactly on April 4th. They will be riding together through April 16th. Whatever Jupiter touches, it makes bigger. Their meet up suggests a peak of the outbreak.

Mars, the Activator, has been in Capricorn since February 21st. He moves more quickly and affects us more personally as the Masculine Principle. Since that time, the number of cases has increased exponentially. Today, Mars meets up with Jupiter, tomorrow Mars meets Pluto. More places may implement martial law as a "protection", as that is a strong signature of Mars/Pluto.

By March 31st, both Mars and Saturn will be out of Capricorn into Aquarius. Aquarius also indicates a wild card. The space of potential where anything can happen. Even though our global situation looks gloomy at the moment, new solutions or unexpected positive shifts may surprise us.

The modern ruler of Aquarius is Uranus. Uranus is in the Earthy, slow, sensuous, feminine side of Taurus for six more years. Uranus is ruled by... Venus, so there she is again.

We have been forced to slow way down, spend more time at home and with family, and simplify at a level that is foreign to modern people. Communities are coming together in the spirit of protecting the most vulnerable among us. During this time of social distancing, people are innovating take their business online, and getting creative about how to connect virtually.

The pressing questions are: will our next cycle be woven with the same threads of domination, control, and violence against the feminine principle or...will we make a radical shift to live in connection and beauty? Will humans claim our sovereignty and commit to restore and steward the natural world?

Venus is key to answering this question. She is the indicator of the Feminine Principle in all of us. She is the symbol of the emerging Solar Feminine reborn in June 2012. She represents partnership, connection, kindness, care, empathy, fierce love and protection, natural abundance, body sovereignty, art, the pleasure of being alive.

As she is the planet that comes closest to Earth, she brings the Great Mystery into our human bodies and experience. She shows us the medicine that heals the tyrannical consciousness that has taken over the planet.

The Venus Cycle has been followed by each significant ancient culture. When we sync with it, we can move with the Feminine Mysteries of Life, Death, and Rebirth with more ease and empowerment. Currently, we are in the Rebirth part of this initiation.

Despite what is falling apart in the world, something potent is rising, actualizing, coming to fruition in our hearts. Our heart holds the guidance and internal knowing we need to move with the great changes ahead. We have all we need to meet at this moment. You could say many of us have been preparing our whole lives for it.

Venus in Taurus is now at her strongest influence as Evening Star and approaching the highest and brightest point in her 19.5-month cycle. If you have not yet, I encourage you to go and see her. She is bright in the West until around 10:30 pm Pacific time. She is so bright, you may even be able to see her during the day.

Ancient people watched and connected with the Living Sky. Many spiritual traditions involve meditating on a being of light. She is linked to the Buddhist Deity, Tara, and every major Goddess.

Venus is the symbol of the Power of Love that we seek. We can rely on her to fortify our intent to live from a pure heart. We can watch her in the Sky and connect with infinite Beauty. We can receive her light as purification of the density we no longer need. Now is an excellent time to do meditation practice with trusted Beings of Light.

Reflect back to late October 2018 about what was moving through your heart to get clues about what heart lesson is ripening for you now. It's become more urgent for us to receive this lesson as we will need it moving forward.

The theme of this current Venus cycle is to uncover the deepest truth of our wounds around intimacy, relating, sexuality and violation and transmute that pain through greater intimacy that honors our experience while staying coherent with Other. We are completing deep healing of fragmentation through balancing our own masculine/feminine energies.

Venus is in the sign of Taurus, where she is Queen in her own domain. She is closing out this cycle where she was seeded in Scorpio and rose in Libra. The Taurus/Scorpio axis is about the stabilization of self and the intensity of going beyond self in the holy union.

When she was in Aries (Fierce Love) last month she passed the 5th Gate, the 5th visible meeting of Moon and Venus, and empowered our bold truths of heart to be expressed. What do you love so much that you are willing to take a stand to protect it? We are on that mission until March 28th when she passes through the 6th Gate of Vision in the sign of Taurus, asking us to root into our cellular knowing and see from our inner depths.

Venus met up with Revolutionary Uranus in Taurus on March 7th-10th, activating the larger themes of the resurrection of the Feminine Principle as we move into the Age of Aquarius. interestingly, during those days, China saw the first slow down of reported cases.

We are birthing a New World and choosing which reality will be the future; one where technology, corporations, and government systems increase the oppression of humanity or become a support for the realization of our collective potential to solve the many crises we face. Each person's unique genius is needed now.

Uranus was opposite both Venus and Sun when they came together in Divine Union at the beginning of this cycle on October 26th, 2018. Uranus in Taurus was also visible - a rare occurrence. Visibility is a powerful factor, especially for a planet like Uranus that is rarely seen without a telescope.

The beginning of our current Venus cycle contained the twinkle in the eye of the Cosmic Revolutionary, nodding to her creative powers and rooting for the embodiment of feminine wisdom on the planet.

Right now Venus is in harmonious aspect to this cluster of planets in Capricorn. Venus, our heart and body wisdom, is the greatest resource at this time. How can you stabilize yourself and tend to your body now? Beauty, sensuality, kindness are key as humans move through the eye of the needle into

Being able to release fear and control, act with integrity, and mature into a new level of social responsibility are on the table. It's time for a Revolution of Heart
