Lunar Transits for 16-18 March 2019

The Moon transits into lively Leo and the 11th House of friendship, hopes, and desires at 5:58 PM PDT on 16 March 2019 remaining there until Void of Course begins at 8:18 AM PDT on the 18th. We’re the center of attention with Leo’s playful energy and over this next lunar period getting together with friends can be both stimulating and rewarding. Don’t forget to include business acquaintances in your plans because with Leo’s influence, you might find their influence supports future endeavors. The chart is below:

Chart Balances/Information

• Mode ~ Avoid procrastination as Mutable energies are strongest.
• Elements ~ Earth influences with a focus on practical and mundane matters.
• Rays ~ Active: 2nd Ray of Love/Wisdom and 6th Ray of Devotion/Idealism foster compassion and loyalty. Associated Rays: Moon – 4th Ray of Harmony through Conflict; Leo (1st Ray of Will/Power and 5th Ray of Concrete Knowledge/Science)
• Sign ~ Practical Virgo and compassionate Pisces dominate
• House ~ 7th House of partnership, inner balance between ego and Spirit
• Retrograde Planets ~ Mercury (communication difficulties, feeling misunderstood), Pallas (intellect and emotions may be at odds affecting decisions), Vulcan (a 1st Ray planet, our will may be negatively affected)
• Lunar Phase ~ First Quarter, waxing

Aspects

Although with Leo’s influence this could be a lovely time to spend with friends, a square with Uranus may leave us less inclined toward compassion with others which a trine with Chiron suggests we remain ready to extend. If that’s happening, it may be best to observe your feelings before engaging with others. A semisquare with Neptune indicates the need to take time for the self if emotions are in flux reinforced by the same with Pallas as we may have difficulty fulfilling Chiron’s request for compassion. Node influences ask us to balance intuition with emotions allowing our intuition to guide and influence our experiences.

Magickal Workings

Magick can be worked over a three-day period. Saturday’s workings can take a more mundane or restrictive focus using Saturn’s influence in bindings and rituals to let go of that which no longer serves. Noon would be an appropriate time for the binding working and sunset appropriate for the ritual. Algebha, the 10th Mansion of the Moon would be useful in supporting any binding working, however, the witch may want to offset its influence for any ritual for letting go of something.

Invoke the Sun for rituals or workings performed on Sunday focusing on healing, protection, and success (Azobra would be helpful here) while Moon-influenced workings on Monday can take an influencing approach within a trance state.

Allow your intuition to guide your decisions over the next few days, particularly if emotions are in flux. If feeling out of sorts, even though you might want to spend time with others, you may want to take a step back until you’re feeling better. Otherwise, you might just be the life of the party!

Until next time…

Lunar Blessings!
