MARCIA SACKS

This Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse taking place on Monday, March 25 at 2 am CDT in 5° Libra. It is an "appulse" lunar eclipse. The alignment of the Moon, Earth and Sun are just the tiniest bit off. That means we won't see any darkening of the moon in an eclipse effect.  Because it takes place in the middle of the night for most of the US, we might experience it more in our dreams. Our dream state seems to be more active and dreams more memorable at the Full Moon or a Lunar  Eclipse. Be sure to write down your dreams in the morning and reflect on the symbols.
​
The Lunar Eclipse in Libra expresses a duality with the Moon in Libra and the Sun in Aries. The Libra energy is all about building partnerships and conducting oneself in a tactful and diplomatic way. The Aries energy is about taking action and in the course of that action it can be assertive or aggressive. In your everyday life, watch where you are on the sliding scale of diplomatic to assertive. Depending on the situation, do you have the ability to slide the scale (change your emotional state) to facilitate the wisest or most productive outcome?

Coming up:
April 1, Mercury retrograde 27° Aries. When you read something online or on paper in the days surrounding this stationary point, be sure to validate that it isn't an April Fool's Day joke or that you've read the text correctly. May not be the best time to joke with others. Communication mistakes can take until Mercury goes direct on April 25 to clear up.

April 8, Solar Eclipse, 19° Aries - Solar eclipses always bring change. Can you guide the change? Use this eclipse energy to visualize your positive future. Make a wish list of what you'd like to come into your life for the year ahead. Or create a "treasure map" by finding pictures of things on your wish list and make a collage.

​I attended the Temple of Kriya Yoga Seminary program in the 1970s and was ordained Swami K. Adinadananda after graduation. This video tells a little bit about the seminary. There is great value in the different subjects studied. The greater value in my opinion is the opportunity to reflect on a life of service, and how we, as priests, bring whatever wisdom and compassion we have into our everyday lives and share that with the people around us.

The New Moon is on Sunday, March 10 at 4 am CDT in 20° Pisces. This New Moon can bring intuitive guidance. If you're using this New Moon as a time of new beginnings, take plenty of time for reflection, prayer or just having a friendly conversation with the way you visualize the Divine. Another Pisces keyword is 'receptive' which makes it an excellent time to surround yourself with an environment that evokes beauty and wisdom.

Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune and the New Moon is in a wide orb conjunction with Neptune at 27° Pisces. With this aspect, we can find ourselves with "rose-colored glasses", looking at a situation or plan and only seeing an illusion of our dream and not the down-to-earth complications that may come with it. Go slowly into new projects and relationships and allow yourself time to gather the information you need.

Music and mantra are especially effective at this time.  Here is a very relaxing mantra for peace "Om Shanti Om" by Meditative Mind:

Even though this is a 3 hour recording, just a few minutes may be enough to evoke that feeling of peace.
