Last Friday, March 21st began our Universal Sun Period.

NOW until May 11th, Flow with the energy of the Universe by flowing with the vibe of our Sun Period.

The SUN PERIOD Supports:

• Taking steps forward and beginning New Projects
• New Beginnings
• Creativity and Inventiveness
• Marriage and New Relationships
• Warmth & Generosity
• Taking your place in the Spotlight and being in the Public Eye
• Focusing on your health and healthy habits
• Spending time on your Spirituality
• Celebrating Your Life!

In addition to moving into the Sun Period, we just had our Spring Equinox on March 20th, which is also supportive of New Beginnings and a Fresh Start. The Sun moved into Aries on this same day as well, giving us an extra boost or dose of moving things forward! Aries is a fire sign that is all about self expression, authenticity, action, and force.

You may want to rush head first, straight ahead, but feeling quite impatient and a little more held back than you might like. With Mars still Retrograde until May 19th all action steps are more inward focused right now.

PLUS, Saturn went retrograde this month on March 2nd and will stay this way until July 20th 2014.

What does this mean for you??

Saturn Retrograde means that you have the opportunity now to go deep into your life and inner life structures. The normal rate of activity is slowed down. So, with all this energy of forward movement you may be feeling like going a little faster. But, the KEY is to slow down. Work with the energy to take action towards developing better methods. Review your commitments and strategize. You have the chance to give up projects you have committed to that no longer fit in to your long term goals OR to reorganize projects in order to breathe some new life into them. You can start new projects but just do it with full awareness that there will likely be much restructuring before July and before you see success with it.

Use Saturn retrograde to get down to the bottom of your frustrations and remove them from your life. Change your thoughts, habitual patterns and ways of thinking that are causing you frustration and self doubt within so that you can

Shine your light and celebrate your life!

J-Ma’s MOON INFLUENCES
SUNDAY, MARCH 16TH
10:08am {pacific time}

★ALL Full Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after ★

The Moon is Full in Virgo, the Virgin, on Sunday, March 16th, at 10:08am {pacific time}.

Full Moons are a time of manifestation, contemplation, realization and Letting Go!

Virgo rules our daily life and activities, the every day responsibilities and small tasks that ARE our life. The Full Moon brings awareness to this and how much fun we are having tending to these details.

How are we approaching our life and the things that need tending to?

What is standing in our way of enjoying every step, every moment and every detail?

What can we let go of that will allow us to have MORE fun, take MORE risks and find a MORE childlike approach & creativity in our every day life?

Virgo is the healer who lives to be of service, bringing what is needed to get the job done and paying close attention to the details & what can be healed through simple acts of service, care and attention to health.

This Full Moon in Virgo, opposite the Sun in Pisces, is asking us to notice where we need balance when it comes to seeing the details of a situation vs. the whole story. How are you getting caught up in pettiness and criticism and can you integrate some compassion?

Are you giving attention to your spiritual & emotional health as much as your physical health? The Full Moon comes to shine it’s light so that we can be more aware of where more balance is needed. Remember that fun & laughter play a huge role in our happiness. We can heal through laughter and allowing our childlike, imaginative nature to shine through again. Now is the time to remind your self, ‘Everything in moderation.’ Working too much, worrying too much and criticizing too much only affects your health in a negative way.

Judgment only hurts you. Forgive and accept imperfections.

When we operate from the negative side of this full moon energy we could find ourselves feeling judgmental, critical and fussy. Watch your mind and work on your acceptance of your self.

Have a critical eye, not a critical heart.

Don’t worry about not being good enough.

If you are here on this planet, YOU ARE ALREADY ENOUGH. Realize your world is your own. You are setting the stage & you are organizing the details. So, create them to your liking!

Rigidity leaves no space for FUN!

Balance taking care of your daily life & activities with taking care of your inner world & imagination. Leave room for love, fun and risks!

Be of service to your loved ones while still tending to your own needs. Though, it feels challenging to say no to others, this sometimes has to be done. You can only give back what you are willing to receive and you have nothing to give when you are depleted.

Take time to make lists of what needs to be done to better plan your days so that you have time for resting too. Be precise in your communication and carve out time to organize your inner world and your outer world. One is a reflection of the other. Now is a good time for journaling and writing whatever has been on your mind.

“When we heal ourselves, we heal the world.”

• Be Discerning, Let go of criticism
• Be Organized, Let go of obsessive orderliness
• Be Analytical, Let go of over-analyzing
• Be Precise, Let go of pettiness
• Be Aware, Let go of judgment
• Be Realistic, Let go of negativity
• Be Practical, Let go of ‘not enough’ mindset

SATURN, PLANET OF KARMA & DISCIPLINE, GOES RETROGRADE

On March 2nd Saturn began its retrograde cycle and will stay this way until July 20th. Basically, from our perspective, this is a backwards movement of the planet. It can be compared to the energy of the planet moving more inward. The way this would have an affect on us is that it brings more of an internal reevaluation as opposed to an external action oriented approach towards the structure, discipline and commitments in our life.

Take a good hard look at what you are working on and spending your time building. Is it worth your effort?

Is your plate too full? Does something need to be removed or restructured?

Is what you are doing serving your highest purpose and if not then can you let it go making more room for what does support your highest goals and long term plans?

Some tough stuff can come to the surface to be dealt with right now. If you have put in the work you will be rewarded for it. If you have tried to cut corners or skip what is necessary you will be reminded of it.

With Saturn retrograde in Scorpio it is a time for some deep inner work and introspection. Feelings of loneliness, jealousy, possessiveness, depression and self doubt could arise from buried deep below the surface and now is the time to acknowledge & restructure these feelings. The emotional strength is available to you and a strong spiritual practice, prayer, meditation and affirmation is key to transforming this energy. There is intense work that needs to be done to finally release. Competitiveness will show up and you have to remind your self, there is no competition when you remember and embrace your own unique qualities and strengths.

Comparison will only zap your happiness and delay your ability to see your true worth. Saturn is about discipline and when it goes retrograde this work is more about restructuring and finding internal discipline.

LOVE

Our feelings have cooled a little with the moon in practical Virgo and Venus, our planet of love, in detached and independent Aquarius. Now you love and admire those who can see your weird and wacky qualities but love you anyways, those who give you your space and freedom to be but also can have an intelligent conversation.

There could be some feelings of detachment that come up and we may be inclined to get angry or fly off the handle. Unexpected emotion could surface and with Mars still retrograde until mid May we need to pay close attention to how we are directing and handling our aggressive feelings.

Allow space for those you love and if they want to be let alone, let them alone.

LESSON

• Take your time to be precise and to the point. Leave no stone unturned.
• Balance your need for imagination and responsibility, criticism & acceptance.
• Having a critical eye is key to doing things well, having a critical heart is the key to misery. Use your criticism constructively.
• Let go of perfectionism and realize it does not exist. Doing things well is admirable but space for imperfection provides a flexibility that allows your true imagination and vision to flourish.

MOON INFLUENCES
FRIDAY, FEB 28th
11:59pm {pacific time}

★ALL New Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after ★

The Moon is New in Pisces, the Fish, on Friday, February 28th, at 11:59pm {pacific time}.

New Moons are a time of starting over, new beginnings, taking action steps towards your dreams and goals, creating and renewal!

Pisces rules the subconscious mind and spiritual world & the New Moon in Pisces is a great time for starting a spiritual practice, beginning a meditation practice and doing deep inner work. Pisces is about compassion, kindness, romance, imagination, spirituality, sensitivity & art. Pisces lives to be of service & thrives on giving unconditionally to the good of a cause or person. The New moon brings awareness and new interest to these areas of your life! Maybe this is a new journey for you or maybe you are revisiting these areas and are ready to give them more attention. Either way, NOW is the time to tap into your intuition and artistic side because the energy is strong here!

There is always a fresh start that needs to be made during a New Moon and this one pertains to using our heightened sensitivity for creating the life we imagine without absorbing the feelings and issues of those around us, living our life for others while neglecting our own dreams, or getting caught up in a web of illusion, fantasy & escapism.

To add to this, at the time of the New Moon the Sun {personality}, Moon {emotions} & Neptune{dreams & wishes} is in a beautiful angle to Jupiter{planet of luck}. You are supported and people will be able to see your gifts and what you have to offer now. There is a generosity and optimistic attitude about. Your desire for growth and to help yourself and others move forward is prominent and you have the confidence & vision to do so!

IMAGINATION IS KEY BUT TAKING ACTION IS HOW YOU MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN!

It’s crucial right now that we allow ourselves the growth that is taking place. It’s time to be still and reflective in our process of moving forward. There is much past life stuff, karma and old memories that have been buried in the subconscious & need to come up to be transformed. Because of some of the planetary aspects there is confusion and disillusion swirling around. If you are feeling tired and out of sorts, REST. Especially those of us more sensitive beings could be feeling hyper sensitive to everything right now, sight, touch, taste, sound.

Stillness, Visualization, Meditation are still forms of moving forward in a more inward focused way. This is just what is needed.

MARS, PLANET OF ACTION, GOES RETROGRADE

Well, Mercury, our planet of communication finally goes direct today just in time for our New Moon. Communications & Contracts begin to move forward and the fog starts to clear {give a couple of extra days for full clarity}. March 3rd we should begin to feel it most. Thinking is clearer, technical devices are working better & previous misunderstandings begin to clear up.

BUT, we’re not really able to move forward full force just yet. Mars {planet of action and ambition} now begins to move backwards and won’t let up until May 19, 2014. We need to be a little more meticulous and deepen our work instead of rushing to push it through.

Our ambitions and our sexual relationships will be under review and it’s time for you to reevaluate your actions in this area of your life. How you are taking action in your closest relationships and whether or not you are being fair, diplomatic and balanced is going to come up for reflection.

The Universe is giving you the opportunity to readdress your approach towards sex, anger and assertiveness and how you express this in your life. This influence gives you the chance to regroup and refine the way that you deal with challenges, sexual urges and ambitions.

Try to express any feelings of desire, anger or aggression you have productively. Don’t allow your feelings to simmer or linger and talk to someone you trust about what you are feeling before you act.

Although, a New Moon is usually a great time to move forward, Mars retrograde will be holding us back a little bit and encouraging you to do more research and work on your plan of action beginning first with making changes from behind the scenes.

The energy in the air is one that is leaving us feeling quite impatient and in the mood for immediate changes. We want to control situations and those around us and are feeling stubborn to anyone who tries to give advice or make suggestions on our behalf. It’s highly likely you will come up against opposition mostly because you are feeling what you say and think is the only right way.

NEW MOON IN PISCES IS A TIME TO GO WITH THE FLOW!

LOVE

To add to Mars retrograde, there is a challenging aspect between Mars and Venus {planet of love} as well. This means that you could have extreme feelings right now in your relationships. You could lash out easily if there are any differences in opinion with loved ones. However, the Pisces New Moon gives you the ability to react differently, with more compassion, tolerance and kindness.

There is a fluctuation between either taking your relationships very seriously or not seriously at all. One moment feeling non-committal and on the fence with one foot out the door, so to speak, and the next moment you’re all in, ready to sign the paperwork, seal the deal and lock it down.

Uranus {planet of freedom & non-conformity} is in an uncomfortable aspect to Jupiter {planet of big thinking & adventure} this will leave you feeling restless and unlikely to want to follow rules of any kind. If you are in a relationship in love or work that feels constricting or like you are being controlled you will want to break free from it. If you are unable to you will become more & more resentful. Freedom to do your thing right now and exert your independence is crucial.

LESSON

• Increase your chances for success by considering others viewpoints and ideas.
• Allow this New Moon’s energy of adaptability and new beginnings to help you see where you can be more flexible and how you can think and see in a new light. Maybe your perspective will be changed and you will see something you never did before that enables you to change what it is that needs to be changed and move forward successfully.
• Tap into your confidence and vision. Have faith in yourself. Helping others is wonderful but remember to help yourself and give yourself the time and loving care you need.
• Be Patient and do the work behind the scenes, the inner work, that needs to be done
• Use your sensitivity to tune into others needs but don’t absorb the moods of others.
• IMAGINE, MEDITATE, REST!

“Nothing limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like unleashed imagination”
