MARCH 2023
RUNE OF THE MONTH: Gifu “Gift”. A month to strike a balance between giving and receiving. No matter how we feel, we are never alone, but part of society. Standing in complementary strength, learning from each other, and acknowledging the support we receive from others, are essential for our own balance. We are required to put our knowledge to good use, be inventive, discover new perceptions, and reach expansive understandings. Our relationship to our environment is put to the test. What we give, blooms, leading to more receiving.

No retrograde planet, 2nd month in a row which is beyond rare! Great time to launch new projects without the risk of interferences!
And two MAJOR sign changes which are marking a huge, complete turning point for humanity.
Saturn enters Pisces on March 8 for 2-1/2 years until May 26, 2025 to February 15, 2026. There will a huge dissolution of restrictions across the world. The nature and quality of water will come to the forefront. Much disillusion in the old system, a complete loss of trust in government structures and big corporations will take place. Mental health issues, paranoia, victimhood, gaslighting, immune diseases, as well as blood disorders could become big problems. Spirituality is likely to become regulated by specific laws. The connection between science and spirituality will become clearer. The breaking down of smoke screens and fake information, will bring about huge questions about the true nature of our reality. It will become essential to walk our talk, incarnate our ideals, and make our dreams real. A gigantic renewal of faith will occur worldwide.
The second humongous shift will occur with Pluto entering Aquarius for the next… 21 years! We shall only have a glimpse of this new cycle in 2023 for 3 months, between March 24 and June 11. In 2024, Pluto will return to Aquarius for 9 months and only be one last time in Capricorn for 3 months. And in 2025, it will be in Aquarius for good until 2044!
The last times Pluto was in Aquarius was in 1778-1798 during which the French people in 1789, fed up with the abuse of power of Louis the XVIth stormed into the Bastille, and abolished monarchy for good. And before that in 1287-1308, during which Edward Ist established Common Law in 1293. The theme of both events was power to the people. This will happen again.
In 2023, we shall start seeing power going from a small, privileged elite to the masses. Popular unrest will be brewing everywhere. Civil wars, could start erupting in many countries. The people will be fighting for their freedom. True democracy will be born.
Major changes will occur in the tax structure which will lead to a more equitable society. The digitalization of money could increase, giving rise to local currencies.
The dangers of technology will begin becoming more and more apparent. Artificial intelligence, clones, robots could become a very serious threat to humanity. The risks of the internet could also come to the forefront.
A huge acceleration of inventions will change the face of our society. Science will go through gigantic leaps, especially in the area of rejuvenation, and aviation. Science and spirituality will merge more and more.
Space travel and contacts with extra-terrestrials will become more common, leading to huge revelations of our galactic origins and the real nature of our universe. But we shall have to be very careful to not lose our humaneness to something more artificial, as by 2044, life on Earth could resemble a science fiction movie! Our leaders will be younger, more innovative, their thinking, ahead of their times. Communities of like-spirited people will form everywhere.
As information becomes decentralized, local channels will begin springing left and right.
In 2023, we shall begin witnessing a revolution of consciousness like no other, which will require that we stay as calm and grounded as possible, connect to Nature, and drink lots of high frequency water so that we are not completely swept away by the very fast pace that will only accelerate with time.

This month’s intentional meditation starts on Tuesday 3/7. Let us take out as many blank sheets of paper as we have intentions and place them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they basked in the light of the Full Moon in Virgo at exactly 4:40 AM. Once that moment passes, let us gather our Full Moon charged blank sheets and place them in a folder.
On Tuesday 3/21, take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention.

Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams….

A day to expect the unexpected! Plans change suddenly. Circumstances turn on a dime. Unusual people enter our life. New ideas pop into our head. We assert ourselves with increased originality. The more present to the moment we are, the more exciting and freeing this day is.

Tuesday 3/14: Mars Square Neptune (4:39 PM)
We could feel somewhat restless and anxious for no precise reason. Our purpose is likely to seem unclear. Strange delays could create confusion. Situations we were counting on tend to not materialize. A person in our environment might be evasive, unstable, or downright deceitful. Our sensitivity to mind altering substances is negatively enhanced. A day to lay low, be considerate towards others, and do our best to remain as realistic as possible.

Enchantment and unconditional love mark this magical day. This transit is particularly beneficial for artists. We are inspired by beauty, peace, and harmony.

An intense day! Aggression, violence, and anger could flare up quickly, making us react in ways we are likely to later regret. Misplaced passion may create irreconcilable rifts. Our perception of a certain situation could get distorted by our imagination. A day best spent quietly with ourselves, reflecting on our course of actions and the quality of our relationships. During the next 3 weeks, we feel more sensual, need to nurture our physical bodies, and find solace in Nature. We seek a quieter pace, are happy to take care of our gardens and smell the roses. Art is appealing, as is cooking, and beautifying ourselves. The simple things of life bring us peace.
Friday 3/17: Sun Conjunct Mercury (3:45 AM), Venus Sextile Saturn (3:25 PM)
A good day to make phone calls, respond to e-mails, and communicate our needs with clarity, respect, and consideration. Great also for studying and taking small trips.

The calmer and more content we are, the smoother this day is.
Saturday 3/18: Mercury Sextile Pluto (8:24 PM), Mercury enters Aries (9:24 PM till 4/3)
During the next 3 weeks, we express ourselves with more spontaneity, strength, and honesty. Not afraid to call a spade a spade, we need however to be careful to not speak before we think. Today, more specifically, our insights into people and situations are particularly perceptive. We are influential and persuasive. Yet doing our best to compromise brings better cooperation from others.
Monday 3/20: Sun Sextile Pluto (1:12 PM), the Sun enters Aries (2:24 PM till 4/20)
Our leadership abilities come to the forefront. While standing in our authority, this is a day to seek cooperation. This coming month leads to new beginnings.

This transit is great for solving any legal problem or pursuing an advanced training. International travel is also favored, as is taking an interest in a foreign culture.
Thursday 3/30: Mars Trine Saturn (12:03 PM), Venus Conjunct Uranus (3:26 PM)
Today, our courage, self-control, and focus can help us move mountains. We are not afraid to work hard within boundaries we use to our advantage. Our decisions, based on practical considerations, are firm and efficient. Our charisma and popularity are strong. A sudden attraction could turn a friendship into a love affair that is both exciting and intellectually stimulating. An unexpected financial windfall could give us the freedom we seek.
