During this New Moon in Pisces, it is not only that the Sun and the Moon are in poetic Pisces, but joining them are Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Chiron. The Sun and Moon trigger a fresh start of a Lunar cycle that is rooted in faith and spiritual beliefs inspired by our imagination. Mercury may be used to reflect what are our true wishes and desires.  Chiron offers a gift of healing, a bridge is being laid out to meet differences in our beliefs system. Mars recent move into Pisces last February 24^th, remaining there until April 2^nd, encourages altruism, thus providing motivation to reach our dreams however unreachable they may seem. Uranus, teetering in the last degree of Pisces, will move to pioneering Aries on March 11^th to establish its position there for the next seven years - until March 6, 2019, introducing new ideals and a new manner of existence. This revolutionary planet's unpredictable nature will accelerate both the wonders of technology and the horrors of human’s rebelliousness and foolhardiness.

That said I can’t help but to quote a disgusted Lando in one of Babylon 5 episodes, who says… “Ahh!… stupidity and ignorance in the same package…how convenient!” Let’s all hope that we all think more like Captain John Sheridan and the Mambari ambassador, Delenn during this interesting time in life. We can’t let the Shadows take over our life now, can we?

Just a brief historical thought about Uranus in Aries history… The last time Uranus was in Aries was March 3^rd, 1927 to March 3^rd, 1935. Examples of the kinds of serious issues that appeared around that period were economic and political… the Great Depression, the growth of fascism  and attempts to enforce global domination through force of arms. From 1932 to 1934 Uranus formed five squares to Pluto, which was then in the sign of Cancer, the sign of homeland, domesticity and family unity/security. The current transit of Uranus in Aries will form seven squares to Pluto in the sign of Capricorn (opposite of Cancer) from 2012 to 2015. This aspect usually affects big corporations, financial institutions, the government and senior citizens. Uranus is considered an outer planet, thus astrologers believe the effect to be global. Uranus completes its orbit or goes through all the twelve signs every 84 years.

On Sabian Symbols…Dane Rudhyar, Astrological Mandala… 14 degrees in Pisces indicates, “A Lady wrapped in a large stole Fox Fur. Keynote: The use of intelligence and mental subtlety as a protection against storms and trials.”

My thoughts... Protection, either personal or instinctual, is acquired by being observant rather than being blatant. It is discriminate thinking that humans must use in order to survive thru trials and tribulations that may be experienced during this time.
