The Astrological New Year is on the doorstep –
as the SUN will enter ARIES today, March 19 @ 8:11 pm PDT!
New Life is Spring-ing.
All starts HERE.
Always starts and happens here, in this moment.
Breathing IN.
Breathing OUT.
Take in the Energy of Life.
Transform Fear into L*O*V*E.
BE the Warrior of Love.
Show UP for what shows up.
Life is NOW.
Happy New Year, dear Astrology Friends!
SPRING EQUINOX is the Day of equal daylight and night hours.
From March 20 onward, the days are getting longer than the nights, as the Sun Light is getting stronger, in the Northern hemisphere.
It’ll be the reign of the SUN over the next 6 months, until FALL EQUINOX.
SPRING EQUINOX is one of the 4 sacred Corner Stones of the natural yearly cycle, and one of the eight Celtic / Pagan Holidays.
Spring Equinox and the astrological New Year at 0º AR is the yearly initiation of New Life being birthed and Nature coming alive. Would be a great time to mark it with a ceremony, in community (AQ) – or solo (AR).
Easter was named after Ostara!
Yes, Easter is one of the few Christian festivals based on the Solunar calendar.
It falls on the first Sunday (March 31) after the first Full Moon in Spring (March 25).
At Spring Equinox, New Life emerges,
Out of the unifying Waters of Oneness…
We’ve come through another very PISCEAN season (Feb 18 – March 19), which you might have just rolled & surfed with, or you might have felt quite overwhelmed & drowned in ‘random’ energies, confusion & distraction, esp. spread by media.
SATURN is now in PISCES too, and, together with NEPTUNE, ‘sandwiched’ the PI New Moon on March 10. SATURN offers ‘cosmic coaching’ re: navigating the at times overwhelming waves, while not getting caught in old PISCES Age dynamics anymore.
With the emergence of Spring, the Spirit of Newness is kicking in.
No wonder – SOO much ARIES energy is ON, via the SUN, MERCURY (gearing up for its retro trip, Apr 1 – 25), CHIRON, and the North Node.
And the ARIES New Moon on Apr 8 will be the ‘American’ Total Solar ‘Seed’ Eclipse – a big deal indeed.
Refreshing ‘game changer’ energy – to show up and step forward.
After the rather passive Piscean (VENUS, SATURN, NEPTUNE, SUN) immersion / overwhelm / addiction, and esp. media inundation.
Fresh Spring energy is building, and we feel it…
Emergence vs. Emergency
Rather than being in emergency / ‘survival mode’ (stressful PI – AR vibe)…
* Can you tune into the Life Force that naturally energizes you (the SUN), and is also an expression of your Inner Healer (CHIRON), while initiating fresh ideas & conversations (MERCURY)?!
* What’s the Medicine that emerges authentically & originally out of YOU, as a Living Breathing Being here-now?
New Life arises in Nature so unstoppably now.
Time for us humans to rise again too.
Into the freshness, newness and NOWness of Life, and open to the Light.
So let’s bravely show up as we are, wherever we are.
For ourselves. For one another.
For and as LIFE.
Showing up a-NEW authentically / originally as we are IS the Medicine (CHIRON in ARIES, 2019 – 2027)!
Healing can happen through stepping forward, one baby step at a time, and showing up authentically in the New & in the Now….
The SUN & MOON will energize & shed the Light of Consciousness on CHIRON, the ‘Wounded Healer / Warrior Shaman, on Apr 8 – day of the ARIES TSE.
Nature Herself is so healing, and teaching us so much these days.
I’m immensely grateful.
URANUS now in TAURUS, this year enhanced by JUPITER, helps to kick us out of old habits, stuckness, and attachments, and calls to EmBody Freedom!
JUPITER will meet & pass URANUS on Apr 20 – one of the major alignments of the year!
Out of the Old Paradigms. Into a New Way of Being!
PLUTO freshly in AQ – the sign of URANUS – is an extra catalyst for all this.
2024 is the transition year for this major shift in evolution of humanity & systems.
SATURN & JUPITER united at 1º AQ on Winter SoUlstice 2020, starting a new 20-year socio-political-economic cycle, and a New Era for our Shared Humanity.
PLUTO follows now, for deeper transformation.
Here’s the Spring Equinox chart –
setting the tone for the new Season
This year, the SUN enters ARIES on March 19 at 8:11 pm PDT.
Such an energy of shifts and transitions!!!
* For starters(!), just look at that close alignment of the SUN at 0°00′ ARIES, ’emerging’ from NEPTUNE in late PI – they both wrap around the ‘Emergence Point’ where Life awakens & arises.
And MERCURY in AR (this year for a looong time, since March 9 – May 15), next to CHIRON & the NN in mid-AR, eagerly awaiting the SUN – and ‘Seed’ Eclipse on Apr 8!
* PLUTO is still fresh in AQ (will once more go back to the very end of CAP Sept 1 – Nov 19, to ‘tie up loose ends) and therefore also cuspy – in sextile w. the early ARIES SUN.
A great boost for going out and meet Humans, known or new. Collaborations and friendships may emerge / be strengthened.
* MARS will enter PISCES on March 22 (until Apr 30).
Time to surf the energetic waves and make sure to relax and expose ourselves to good vibes, as much as being in ‘doing mode’.
More about MARS in PISCES in the upcoming special Astro~News article.
NO Planets are presently retro
Until April 1 when MERCURY goes retro (already coming into pre-retro ‘storm’) – which will open the retro seasons of Spring – Summer – Fall.
Things can move forward and manifest in the outer expression faster than ‘usual’ .
With the emphasis on ARIES:
What’s New and Fresh, Here-NOW?
FREE to BE!
Lots of FIRE sets the tone for Spring
…via multiple-ARIES, and the MOON in LEO.
Much needed:
Enlivening energies, literally more movement, courage, taking action / initiating things.
Bold creativity and playfulness, ‘wild’ and unconditioned sovereignty.
Bottom line:
Spring Equinox 2024 brings a boost of fresh energy…
* To let go and surrender old toxic vibes, while connecting in the Web of Life (MARS into PI on March 22, joining VENUS, SATURN & NEPTUNE).
* To emerge, in vitality and freshness, and show up with fresh throughts & ideas, and authentic Healing Medicine (SUN, MERCURY, CHIRON, North Node in ARIES).
* To emBody Freedom-as-Nature (JUPITER & URANUS in TAU)
* To celebrate the Power of our Shared Humanity in community, friendship, group consciousness, and co-creation (PLUTO freshly in AQ).
And here are two little Haikus that I created spontaneously a little while back (gotta pick that creative experiment up again!):
Here comes ARIES.
Cherry Blossoms
Such de-light-full Rebels.
Cherry Blossoms
At EQUINOX –
Come Alive!
Soulful Blessings for SPRING Arising in us, as in Nature!

ASTRO~CONSULTATIONS
Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
From time to time, I have OFFERS on which you can find on my Astrology for Self Realization FB Page.
ASTRO~EXPERIENCES
via Courses, Workshops, and Embodied Astrology
Our experiential and embodied Astrology groups have over time (the 16 years I’ve been facilitating them) become quite potent and catalytic.
The intimate Astro hubs (max 6 participants) are a treasured way of being personally seen and involved – more commitment, a personal sense of community, and deeper effects.
Come join us, if deep synergy in a circle speaks to you!
