Stellar Insights: March 6 - 12, 2023

It’s a week of illumination.

On Tuesday, the Full Moon lights up the sky as well as our awareness. With this lunation featuring the Moon in earthy Virgo and the Sun in dreamy Pisces, it beckons us to see both the differences and the similarities, where things are discrete and where they are unified. While we may find ourselves called to classify, remembering that everything is connected may help us to transform an instinct to criticize into the ability to make space for the inherent flaws that we and others have, leading to a greater level of compassion and acceptance. This may require a slight shift in perspective; yet given the tie-in of innovative Uranus with the Full Moon, we may find that it’s easier than it often is to substitute the unusual for the usual.

With Pisces focused upon wholeness and Virgo having the ability to see the interweaving of the piece parts, we may be more clearly able to perceive how the mind, body, and spirit are woven together. Through this lens, we may capture insights into not only what is causing us dis-ease but how approaches like meditation, dreamwork, creative visualization, and hypnotherapy may be powerful go-to’s for infusing a greater sense of holistic well-being.

The Virgo Full Moon also brings other beautiful lessons, notably how if we find ourselves called on to be of assistance that we should remember that service need not equal sacrifice. To give is one thing: to give away more than we readily have at our disposal is another. Take practical steps that allow you to replenish your well of energy and inspiration. Not only will this allow you to keep your life force vitalized but it will also enhance your ability to offer aid to others with more ease, grace, and joy.

This week’s illumination also arrives via a larger scale shift of significance that happens to also occur on Tuesday. It’s the day that integrity-focused Saturn moves from tech-oriented Aquarius into flowing Pisces, the sign in which it will reside for the greater part of the next three years. And with this, we may find ourselves collectively turning our attention to the realms of water, the numinous, spirituality, empathy, sleep and dreams, glamour, and how we define and hold boundaries.

With Monday being Saturn’s last full day in Aquarius (for the next almost-thirty years), I would encourage you to take some time to reflect upon what you have learned since December 2020 (when it entered this sign) when it comes to Aquarian domains of life. This would include community connections, involvement with groups that share your visions and values, your relationship with technology, your view of science, and the ways in which you recognize and utilize the power of patterns and logistics. In doing so, important insights for the here/now and the future may emerge for you.

For further reflections on this, see the last paragraph of this article and the second to last paragraph of this one. Additionally, if you’re interested in learning more about Saturn in Pisces’ inspirations, see this article (which includes sign-by-sign horoscopes) and this one (which focuses upon potential Astrotrends). Additionally, I will be publishing additional ones—including a piece on self-care strategies for Saturn in Pisces—in the coming weeks. A portion of these articles is available to everyone with the complete content accessible to paid subscribers. (Remember that if you are unsure whether you want to subscribe on an ongoing basis, you can opt for a monthly subscription—for $5/month—and gain access to these and other articles.)

May this week bring you oceans of inspiration, may you connect to waves of soulful inspiration, and may you more clearly perceive the interconnectivity that weaves everyone and everything together.

All my best,
