Astrology for March 2005 by Susan Heinz, Astrologer
Collectively we are involved in purification, cleansing and healing, a rectification of past karma, so we can become transparent to a common ground of being. Because it is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, whose potential is sharing our commonality (building group consciousness), the confronting of what is out of balance or seeing deep distortions is now part of the landscape.
The next 7 years carries the testing and tempering of belief systems which have provided the basis for our realities. We are walking through a time of confronting what is not working. With the north node in Aries, we need to take up courage, to pioneer new ways for ourselves and our society.
Chiron, the comet like body in our Solar System between Saturn and Uranus, known as the wounded healer, has now moved into Aquarius. Last time it entered Aquarius was in 1955. Now the work of healing is focused on the wound of humanity, and how we polarize ourselves against each other, as there is a deep longing to return to our true selves, our unity. The wound highlights our lack of connection to the Sacred Feminine, the feeling connection to the sacred in all things. With entrance into the Aquarian age, there will be those who come forth as channels for the incoming wisdom and knowledge, the power of feeling, and a return to the power of the people to transform the world. Masaru Emoto is one of those people. We will see science and metaphysics mirror each other. We will come to know we are one humanity, bonded together into one body of beingness, which we will perceive through compassion and love for one another, one humanity living on a sacred Earth in a living intelligent Solar System. Chiron will move through Aquarius until mid 2011, when it will join Neptune as it enters Pisces, with the potential for great healing.
We feel the test of Pluto in Sagittarius, revealing our attachment to old belief systems that must die and be transformed. We feel Uranus in Pisces, the crisis in the collective, with the deepest levels of the subconscious being stirred up to the surface, fears, anxieties, issues of life, death, security, being put to the edge of who we think we are so we can claim a new ground of being for humanity. On higher levels, the Aquarian age brings in a Jupiterian vibration of love and wisdom, the science of who we are.
With the Full Moon of late February aligning with Uranus, the collective is experiencing crisis and opportunities to awaken, to see truth.
With the Jupiter Saturn square, confronting what was begun in 2000 and 2001, President Bush will be pressured over the next year to take responsibility for the realities he is creating. He will not have an easy time. Mars will be aligning with Jupiter and Saturn intensifying challenges to stay balanced as frustration, assertiveness and aggression will increase, especially the 1st two weeks of March.
The New Moon takes place in Pisces on the 10th. Align with one goal for success. March 14-18 supports deep transformation or power struggles. Be aware of what to let go of. Mercury goes retrograde in Aries on the 19th, review initial impulses, slow things down for the next three weeks.
Spring equinox takes place on the 20th. This equinox highlights the need to see clearly what is not in alignment with healthy foundations, whether personal or in government, and the need to take action to make corrections, otherwise we may feel vulnerable to being victimized. Mars moves into Aquarius, shifting the energy to work for solutions. The Full Moon in Libra on the 25th, challenges us to balance between self and other, between impulse and deliberation. Jupiter trines Neptune again, allowing for an expansion of compassion.
Twelve Opportunities:
Aries: (Mar 20-Apr 19): March brings the need for caution and deliberation at work and home. If you push ahead at this time you will meet frustration, slow down and take the time to recognize the various players. After the equinox, situations move more smoothly. With Mercury retrograde in Aries review perceptions carefully.
Taurus: (Apr 20-May 20): Shifts and changes in relationship take place. Things are not stable. You are aware of holding patterns. Be willing to transform situations. Late March you have the initiative for change. There is movement when you let go of something.
Gemini: (May 21-Jun 20): You are experiencing much energy and bringing through new ideas. Now’s the time to communicate to the group. When Mercury retrogrades in Aries review projects started. You embody the spirit creativity and daring.
Cancer: (Jun 21–Jul 21): Your power this month lies in focusing on one goal. Be aware of being pulled off course by other people’s critiques or desires and keep things simple. You have accomplished a major transition and have a larger and fresher perspective.
Leo: (Jul 22- Aug 22): This is the month to recognize the deep change you are going through. You feel more emotional, more vulnerable, more need for intimate support. The equinox is a renewal for you with inspiration. Treat yourself with tenderness.
Virgo: (Aug 23-Sep 22): March is the time to focus on your relationships. Powerful transformations are taking place between yourself and others. With Mercury going retrograde take time to review deeper and more hidden issues between yourself and others. Maintain a careful balance between impulse and patience.
Libra: (Sep 23-Oct 22): It’s time for growth but a holding pattern has settled in. Early March brings in people and situations that have the potential to shift that. The key is to listen internally, give yourself to inner revelation, and follow the guidance.
Scorpio: (Oct 23-Nov 21): It’s time for opening to love and creativity. Your deepest self is already connected to this. Be self revealing. This month let yourself receive the beauty within you. You are moving to a new level of understanding.

Capricorn: (Dec 21- Jan 19): As March begins communications with your partner and friends go well. Spring arrives and you are experiencing a high energy period. You receive a sense of clear direction. There is rapid movement to your goal.
Aquarius: (Jan 20-Feb 17): This month Venus travels over your planet, Uranus. You experience harmony, pleasure and love. You feel an outpouring of appreciation and gratitude which affects those around you, so people welcome what you have to give or teach.
Pisces: (Feb 18-Mar 19): A new or renewed sense of hope and love is dawning on you. It is as if you are experiencing an illumination of inner peace. You have arrived at a new beginning.
