About

The activation of the North Node of the Moon in Pisces by Mars and Mercury retrograde forming a conjunction near the north node on March 15 requires extra mindfulness, but can ultimately be a powerful catalyst for clarifying focus and direction forward. It's a potent time period due to Mercury and Mars additionally activating the degree of the recent Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, activating the major endings and beginnings of storylines associated with the recent eclipses.


Mercury retrograde will oppose the degree of the Virgo eclipse on March 11 and then will do so again when direct on March 30. Mars will oppose the degree of the lunar eclipse on March 18 at the time of the New Moon in Pisces. In the same time period, Mars will form a conjunction with the North Node of the Moon on March 13 followed by a conjunction with Mercury retrograde on March 15.


Providing support will be Jupiter in Cancer who is the domicile lord of Mars, Mercury, and the North Node of the Moon in Pisces - Jupiter stationed direct recently on March 10 and so will provide generative forward momentum. Mars in Pisces will form a flowing trine with Jupiter on March 21
