We are living in tumultuous times which is reflected everywhere in the world especially in hot spots like the Middle East. Last month I wrote that with 6 planets in Aquarius, the water bearer is setting out to nourish and water the seeds of change. "This can happen through sudden changes, interruptions of continuity and rebellion or riots as we are seeing in Egypt right now. I would not be surprised to see more instability and destruction happening in explosive expressions all over the world this month. "
Even with all the revolutionary impulses and even victories like we have seen in Egypt this is just the beginning. Brace yourself for more. The highlights of this month are:

On March 11 Uranus is returning for good into Aries after a short stint in it already last year from May 27 to August 12. This will set a whole new tone of impatience and anger with the ruling structures and can lead to war like situations. Then with Mercury and Sun also entering Aries in conjunction with Uranus the flames of revolution will be dancing wildly. Also next year we will start into the series of 5 squares of Uranus to Pluto 2012 continuing into 2015. Remember the sixties when we had a Pluto Uranus conjunction which started the whole process of societal changes.

For the next 18 month we will have a little easier time then we had with the North Node in Scorpio.

The Full Moon represents the fullest light reflecting your innermost process related to Virgo matters. The Full Moon in Virgo invites you to reflect on your inner feeling of self value and how you are able to skillfully contribute to people around you. It is a reminder for proper self care for the whole system of body, mind and soul.

The Sun's conjunction with Uranus is foreshadowing an astrological year with major changes and sudden eruptions. Grass root movements will gain strength and importance but it is not an easy road traveled. Rebellion and riots all over the world will incite deep changes.
Jupiter Opposition Saturn March 28
Jupiter is completing his last opposition with Saturn and with that is establishing a new framework of shaping individual ambitions and collective social goals. A fresh bigger picture evolves.

The already prickly Sun in Aries will be receiving plutonian Energy with a square. We need to learn how to let go of the old and be deeply honest with ourselves. That will guide us to deeper self-realization and commitment to take the necessary steps.

And thank God for Venus and her heart oriented influence and love for balance and beauty. In Aquarius she wants us to find like minded soul and friends to truly make a difference in our lives. In Pisces she opens the heart to unconditional love and the deep inner knowledge of our true oneness.
