March 2010 News from the Stars

Spiritual Insights

hibiscusThis is the month where the many events that flavor this year will begin to come into fruition. We have had a break in events recently meaning February was the calm before the storm. This will be an action packed year and the turn of the tides will begin now.

Mars has been retrograde and will turn direct March 10th. Mars in Vedic astrology rules real estate and in the New Moon chart 5 planets are in the 8th house (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Uranus, and Venus) indicating a major break in the banking industry. The housing market and the banks will make a major shift. This means the reality of this looming problem will surface now. There are deep problems that have not been addressed!

Remember the New moon chart in Pisces is the chart Vedic astrologers take into account for the results for the entire year of events for any country, based on the longitude and latitude used for each country. The new Moon occurs on March 15th with daylight savings time in effect for America. Washington DC is is the geographical location used for the new moon chart, to depict the outcome for the USA. To chart the effects of other countries the longitude and latitude of the country in question must be used. Read more in my article about the Pisces new Moon and USA predictions.

In this chart, not only are there 5 planets in the 8th house but Saturn is opposing them from the 2nd house indicating an awakening to the reality of the financial loss incurring in the USA. The denial that things are okay will be uncovered. The bottom is about to fall out.

Since the 8TH house deals with money shared with others, banks, taxes, insurance, inheritance and death the future of America and all of our lives will revolve around these important issues. This is a time when the economy of the USA will have to be cleaned up. The focus and attention is on these matters. When Jupiter enters Pisces in May there will be major changes that will flavor the year of 2010. This reveals huge events for this summer and fall.

Mars turning direct March 10th will intensify the events involving real estate, land, anger and terrorism. The banks and governmental agencies concerning loans have to reorganize. Actually this is an issue affecting many countries worldwide. Once Mars moves into Leo the end of May the attention will revert to the leaders of countries to make major decisions for the world is under pressure for some dramatic changes. Mars in Leo indicates the leaders have to make a decision for radical change. This involves the world banks.

Jupiter is in Aquarius and will pick up enormous strength when it changes into Pisces beginning in May. Jupiter is the planet ruling spirituality and wealth. Last year in 2009, Jupiter in Capricorn conjunct Rahu destroyed the wealth for many globally. There was fear of loss. Many businesses closed, people lost their jobs, and homes. Consequently, there was a loss in spiritual seeking. People began to lose their hope and belief in the spiritual purpose of their lives.

The fact that Jupiter rules prosperity, wealth and spirituality is very meaningful. I believe that if you truly understand the principal behind wealth and money, then you will understand our spiritual purpose on this planet. Unfortunately we are in a very dark age and the understanding that links money, wealth and spirituality are completely misunderstood. People associate money with greed and the wealthy control and manipulate others to feel a sense of their superiority and control over others.

Our attitudes concerning money reveal so much about ourselves on a spiritual level. If we can truly understand our issues with money then we will understand our true spiritual growth.

Growing up, most of us were taught that money is the root of all evil and those who were very rich were somehow very greedy. These ideas are a breeding ground for resentment, guilt and indebtedness. In all actually these ideas are what have created a world of lack and poverty.

My mother was a very successful real estate agent, and over the years acquired a little dynasty of rental property. I used to call it “her kingdom” because she used to love to visit her properties all the time. She always had problems with her tenets, and the perpetual up keep, pouring money into her properties and the struggles with handy men constantly ripping her off made me not want anything to do with this sort of business. She was in a continual whirlwind of fixing things that were broken. She became so obsessed with the money and problems that she was consumed with losing anything she worked so hard to gain. My mother was truly obsessed with money. She often told me it was the only thing that really mattered in this world. Her obsession became so overwhelming I began to resent anything to do with money. She basically controlled everything I did with the giving or taking away of money. Money felt bad to me and represented suffering.

In a conversation with one of my famous Hollywood clients, he once shared how money represented “Suffering” to him. His father is very rich and famous and controlled him in the same manner my mother did with me. Everyone who has financial problems has some resentment toward money and associated with the past. My question too is, “Just how spiritual is it to be resentful?” Money issues are tied into our spirituality. It is one thing to understand the why and what we are resentful about. It is the power of forgiveness that will release this resentfulness and our self-righteousness concerning these deep emotional issues we hang on to. In hanging on to these resentments we keep ourselves locked into the pattern of lack of prosperity on all levels. When you feel resentments of any kind, situations will emerge that validate these negative feelings. My mother has been gone for almost five years and since then I have attracted similar people who continue these same issues.

The feeling that others are controlling us and keeping us in a rut due to financial difficulties is self created. Financial difficulties are the result of our resentments, and lack of self-esteem. This is also why the world is at odds with the financial predicament globally now. We have the opportunity to change our world with this conscious awareness working through our own individual lives and consequently this will shift the awareness globally. Our money issues are our spiritual issues and are the tool to understand our spiritual growth. This explains why planet Jupiter ruler of money also rules spirituality.

I want everyone to prosper and heal their material and spiritual issues! Resentment and negative beliefs about money can manifest in many ways. Great lessons can be learned by addressing your own money issues. Spiritual growth and prosperity will follow.

The great Guru Paramahansa Yogananda said repeatedly we must balance the material and spiritual worlds.
Balancing Your Spiritual and Material Life…

"The material and the spiritual are but two parts of one universe and one truth. By overstressing one part or the other, man fails to achieve the balance necessary for harmonious development…. Practice the art of living in this world without losing your inner peace of mind. Follow the path of balance to reach the inner wondrous garden of Self-realization." Paramahansa Yogananda

In understanding and realizing my ultimate lessons I was directed to reread this very powerful book and I encourage everyone to take a look at it. “The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity” by Catherine Ponder; 1962

Resentment and Fear Cause Indebtedness
No debt is good if you resent or fear it, because such an attitude causes it to become a burden. The thought of burden often stops the flow of substance into your affairs, as well as hindering the flow of new prosperous ideas in your thinking. When the flow of substance is halted in either of these ways, you are unable to meet your bills, and panic and resentment take over.

So long as you do not resent or fear financial obligations you can maintain mental and emotional control over them in your thoughts, feelings and reactions. When you maintain a feeling of control, not feeling helplessly bound to debts, you keep the way open for the rich substance of the universe to flow to you—in expected and unexpected ways---making it possible for you to meet each obligation. Uplifted thinking, free from fear, resentment and condemnation is necessary in order to maintain a debt free existence.

A housewife related how thoughts of fear, resentment, and condemnation got her into debt; and how by changing her attitudes, she got out of debt. Her husband was a fine salesman who traveled and work took him far from home. Early in their marriage they purchased a farm in the mountains in Kentucky. They decided it was an ideal place to raise a family. But since her husband traveled regularly she was held responsible for the upkeep of the farm and their children. Since her husband traveled so much her resentment began to grow as she was taking care of all the difficult responsibilities. Because of her extended responsibilities, her financial obligations began to grow along with her resentments.

Finally she had to borrow money to pay the workers, to purchase farm equipment, and meet general expenses of the farm. Soon she was in debt, though the farm had excellent potential. At this point, she heard about the power of prosperous thinking, and began to assess her indebtedness from the standpoint of her mental attitudes. One busy afternoon, when she was wondering how she would meet the payroll that week, she drove up on a lovely hill overlooking a peaceful area where cattle were grazing. There she stopped and meditated on the peaceful beauty of the scene below.

She realized she had resented her husband’s absence from home, though she knew he was only trying to provide for his family. She further realized that she had been resenting the responsibility of running the farm alone, although it was a valuable asset. As she thought of the burdensome debt, resentment and condemnation passed. She then silently asked for divine guidance for herself, husband, children, farm and workers. She gave thanks for financial success and freedom from indebtedness.

When she drove into town the next day, a friend told her that he wanted to buy some farm equipment. She told him she had this equipment unused. A purchase was arranged that quickly liquidated her of all her debts. Later, as her former resentments were replaced by love and appreciation for the farm, her husband decided to give up all the sales work, to move his family into town, and go into the contracting business. A competent manager was hired to run the farm. As this woman continued to praise and give thanks for her many blessings, her farm, and husband’s new business both prospered.

This story proves that thoughts of condemnation, and resentments caused a sense of burden, which in turn stopped the flow of substance in her affairs. When she no longer resented her obligations, she gained control over them and lived a life of prosperity
.” Catherine Ponder

One more note of encouragement to remember from Catherine Ponder.

Overcome Discouragement and Disappointment
Train your mind to never be disappointed. If certain things do not come at certain expected times in the way you wished, do not consider it a failure. Since you have not received that thing, you can instead stand firm in the faith that something much better is on the way and will appear at the right time. When you seem to fail, remind yourself that it is because you have not asked big enough. Expand your viewpoint and expectation, and a larger answer than you originally anticipated will surely come. Failure is nothing but success trying to be born in a bigger way. Most seeming failures are just installments toward victory.

From these powerful lessons you can consciously understand what you are unconsciously doing to prevent your ultimate prosperity. Resentments and self-esteem issues are at the root of your lack and limitations. Realizing what patterns from your past you are allowing to control your happiness will release you from your self-imposed suffering. This takes the form of deep-seated resentments. Realizing your issues and asking for forgiveness and letting the Divine intervene and help you through your prayers and surrender will change your life to a life of happiness, prosperity and wealth. This is the natural state the Universe and Divine intended for you. Money issues reveal our spiritual lessons, reminding me of why Jupiter is the planet of both wealth and spirituality.

Astrological Aspects and Predictions

March 2010 New Moon Chart for the USA

USA - Pisces New Moon 2010
Click to enlarge.

03/02/2010
Venus changes signs into Pisces
Venus is exalted in the sign Pisces which intensifies Venus’ qualities of refinement, creativity and the arts. During this time appreciation for the arts, film, and music will be brought to the forefront in society. Venus will be in Pisces for a month. If you have the sign Pisces as the 1st, 4th 7th or 10th house ruler (Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo or Gemini on the angles of your chart) you will experience a sudden rise in your working affairs. You will be recognized for a job well done.

03/03/2010
Venus conjunct Uranus
Excitement fills the air with sudden and unexpected events that will open the door to new movements of discovery. This is an exciting time in history for some discoveries will be made. I believe it may have something to do with archeological finds. Social events will top the news with sudden surprises.

03/07/2010
Mercury conjunct Jupiter
Expansive thinking clears the air from many setbacks that have previously caused limitations in governmental affairs. Humanitarian efforts prove favorable for the growth of many discouraged nations. This is a good day for travel and learning. Be open to new prosperous ways of thinking.

03/09/2010
Venus opposed Saturn
Relationships are the focus and approached in a serious way. Venus indicates love and relationship but opposed Saturn can bring the realities ignored previously, so be honest and methodical during this time. It is not time to make any major decisions.

03/10/2010
Mars turns direct 6 degrees Cancer
Finally Mars will clear the air of all the previous upheaval within our economy. This represents forward movement in many affairs dealing with the banks, property, and issues that produce deep anger and resentment in our own lives and globally. This will produce a rise in terrorism for Mars rules anger and war therefore, there will be more instances with Mars stationary today. If you have any planets around this degree (6 degrees Cancer) be cautious for you are more accident prone and on edge. You can be provoked very easily and people tend to attack you for no reason. Those that have Capricorn rising will have to contain their partner for they will be easily angered. Just know these issues will be resolved by the end of May.

03/10/2010 Ketu aspect Sun (trine)
03/12/2010 Ketu aspect Mercury (trine)
Ketu aspecting both the Sun and Mercury can cause some disillusionment in the world. Things are not as they appear. There will be opposing beliefs concerning political rules and leaders. The people are making a stance against the political rules that are limiting the masses. It is a time for spiritual enfoldment. Take time to mediate and contemplate your life with purpose.

03/14/2010
Mercury conjunct Sun (combust) and Mercury and Sun change signs into Pisces
This combination of the Sun, Mercury and Uranus will produce sudden upsets and major changes completely out of the blue and unexpected. Expect the unexpected! This may involve sudden accidents that surprise the world. I am concerned for the welfare of political leaders during this time (03/14-03/25). During this time Saturn is opposed this unpredictable combination of planets. The energy is unstable at this time and can cause some unstable individuals to act out in destructive ways. Those who have planets in Pisces or Virgo need to be cautious this is where these planets are activating powerful energies.

03/15/2010
Mercury conjunct Uranus
Aside of the instability this aspect will produce it is the aspect of genius and inventions. Some major discoveries will come out of the consciousness of many minds during this time. Developing medical discoveries will be produced.

03/15/2010
New Moon 1 degree Pisces Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra
The Pisces new Moon depicts the tendencies for the entire year. This nakshatra is about deep thought and profound thinking. It is also the symbol for the front of the funeral cot indicating the deaths of many particularly world leaders and those we respect. I know that the new moon chart in Pisces will usually involve the Bhadrapada nakshatras but Purva Bhadrapada is more intense than Uttara Bhadrapada. This will be an intense year.

03/18/2010 Mercury opposed Saturn
03/21/2010 Sun opposed Saturn
03/25/2010 Sun square Pluto
This an very intense period of time while the Sun and Mercury are opposing Saturn and forming a square to Pluto. The world is on edge and the many social up risings are causing discord on a mass and individual level. This is no time to begin a business or sign contracts.

03/26/2010 Venus changes signs into Aries
03/29/2010 Mercury changes signs into Aries
With both Venus and Mercury coming together in the sign of Aries events and trends will definitely have more direct and forward movement. While planets transit the sign of Pisces there is closure and an ending to many events that have been hanging and waiting to come to a conclusion. Now is the time of progress in a forward direction.

03/29/2010
Full Moon 15 degrees Virgo, Hasta nakshatra
The full Moon brings many pending events to fruition that began during the new Moon phase, two weeks prior. It is time to be introspective and bring closure to many events activated in the first part of the month. Reflect and meditate during this full moon for it will give you insight into your life about the direction you will be headed, specifically with relationships.

03/31/2010
Ketu aspect Jupiter (trine)
This is a spiritual aspect and brings people and experiences from your past to the forefront. You will understand why things are happening in your life if you take the time to reflect.

 

Excerpt from My Book
Awaken to the Power Within You

door

Finding the Balance
When we immerse ourselves in nothing but the material world, not accounting for the mystical, we are in a world of limitations. The added dimension of the mystical balances the limitations of the physical world.

When we don’t believe in a mystical spiritual world, it limits us, and causes depression and lack of hope. When we develop the qualities that are the most valuable to us, and trust in the Divine, we receive all that money will provide us: a sense of security, peace, love, happiness, real control, and power. When we feel a sense of control and power, we don’t feel the need to control others. Those who feel they must control others have no sense of control in their own lives. We are besieged with a world that constantly reinforces materialistic values. We have to find balance in the material world with the spiritual world. A balanced life will bring prosperity on all levels.

Fortuna
"I have about concluded that wealth is a state of mind, and that anyone can acquire a wealthy state of mind by thinking rich thoughts."

I agree completely with Karen. I've been reading your newsletters for a few
months now. What I am so thankful for is the heart and soul you put into them.
There is so much energy there and I agree with Karen too that you are very much
appreciated. You are helping me to make sense of things at a time when little
really does make sense to me, except in retrospect. It is such a blessing
though to feel that there are others out there who understand what we're
experiencing. Thank you Joni

"Nothing feels worse than the feeling of no control, no choice or freedom. It is like being a child in an abusive home; there is no hope, no way out. But the suggestion that we have free will, the freedom to choose our life and destiny, is invigorating and frees the spirit"
