My dear friends, we love you so very much.

The last few weeks we have been discussing how you can help others by remaining in a space of love, rather than falling into the darker spaces as well. You can hold the hands of the grieving without getting sad, if you remain in a space of love. You can be attacked by angry words, without getting angry, if you remain in a space of love. And you can watch the news without despair, while remaining in a space of love. We know this is not what the majority of you were taught. We know this is not what most of you saw demonstrated as you were learning to react to life. And yet how much more beautifully powerful it would be if you knew that rather than joining misery to keep it company you can lift the willing out of their misery by the sheer grace of your love and compassion.

Mahalas Astrology 

March is a dynamic transition month, as several planets make a strong energetic shift from feminine watery Pisces to masculine fiery Aries. Mercury in Pisces remains in retrograde motion until March 17, opening us to higher visions.  Later in the month, Mars in aspect to Uranus and Pluto can bring revolutionary changes. The Vernal Equinox in Aries on March 20 marks the beginning of the astrological New Year.

We begin the month still under the February Aquarius New Moon cycle, with the humanitarian theme of working together to fulfill common goals. In these last lunar phases, we are evaluating what we have learned and preparing for the next cycle.  This is aided by a Sun/Mercury conjunction in Pisces on March 4, which facilitates contemplation and introspection.  However, as Venus also makes a challenging square to Jupiter today, we will need to watch for overextending or overloading ourselves in various ways.

Big Story Weather from February 28: The Northeast saw snow showers and very strong winds around the Maine area, while the majority of the country saw partly cloudy skies and colder conditions, and the Northwest saw some showers yesterday.

Weather Outlook for March 1: An upper level trough will move through the Tennessee River Valley bringing with it some light snow and light mix precipitation to the area. High pressure over the Rockies will set the stage for a nice day over the Plains and Gulf Coast, but it will be cooler than normal for these regions. A few showers will linger in the extreme Northwest US. Below is the weather for a few select cities.
