Doc: It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you. ~Back to the Future 3

New moon is approaching. Venus finishing her sojourn over Rahu and today Saturn will bring some clarity, relief and even fatigue for all my lovers out there. Firstly crossing Rahu (the karmic axis) this past Monday was a peak of suspicion, fear and anxiety from Venus. How is love/your values deceiving you or have you deceived yourself may have been questions prevalent in that busy head of yours. Today we have a much more sober and grounded feeling: Where is this going and what is the reality of my love/values? By this afternoon Venus finally wins this race over Rahu and Saturn and begins to walk away from the anxious and then depressing karmic testing. Slowly does it. She's been through a lot.

Thankfully Venus is exalted in our skies and now she begins to shine brighter and will continue to amplify in Pisces until June. But first the new moon approaching Sunday evening/Monday morning in Bharani begins a new cycle. Think of Bharani like a baby in the safe womb of its mother coming to full term and ready to cross the threshold to be birthed into the world. You cannot stay in the safe waters of the womb any longer, otherwise this safety becomes toxic, and you must quickly change into a new frontier. This sounds exciting. This may also sound terrifying. It may be both.

When we cling to the riverbank out of fear the growing tide of the river will eventually come for us and pull us away into the river of life whether we cling or not. This is your opportunity to let go and allow what is coming for you to be and to let the river take things away from you that are now no longer a part of your journey ahead. I know dear one this may be scary, I'm scared too, but it may give (re)birth to something greater than you could ever have dreamed. Trust.

Stay light,
Mark :)

Now as much as I wrote a post about positive relief from this full moon - there is always another event ahead - the day after is one of the most fascinating transits this year. Venus really has had such an interesting journey over the past few months in exalted Pisces. Our planet of love, rejuvenation and many other wealthy things is still in the sky at the time of the full moon at zero degrees in Pisces. She has been retrograding since the start of March and this weekend she stops her backward motion to just be still right at the very beginning. The last time she was here at zero degrees Pisces was the 29th of January. So have a look back in your diary. Was there anything that began for you or that you were going through at this time that has continued into the present moment?

Pisces can be confusing. It can be deluded. It can be slippery and avoidant. But ultimately it seeks liberation and surrendering into greater love. This is intensely felt around/after the full moon. On the same day (Monday) she turns to move forward to 'begin again' Saturn and Rahu clash together into the most intense war/conjunction called Shrapit Dosha - where one faces the consequences of their past actions. There may be anxiety, there may be fear, there may be chaos...but ultimately without buying into fear mongering Venus through this whirlwind will be our saviour. Surrender, accept, love through whatever arises. And as you open, and the boundaries dissolve, you may come to realise your past actions have led you here to bring you onto a more enlightened path.
Stay light,
Mark :)

We've all been through a journey together over the past month that has frankly felt overwhelmingly incomprehensibly...like a lot. The eclipses took no prisoners since mid March and then Mercury and Venus went into retrograde exacerbating our communications and relationships. Straight after the last eclipse Saturn joined them and the karmic axis and we had a confusing sandwich of explode/restrict. Things have been DIFFICULT to say the least. Misfires. Confusion. Anxiety. Reality. Illusion and then there was love. All of this has created an emotional see-saw so be kind to yourself as this all plays out. 

The good news is Mercury has already gone direct as of yesterday. The full moon approaching Saturday night (technically Sunday morning) is kind of like a big conclusion to all this madness. And when I say conclusion it doesn't mean endings I mean to say all the lessons from the eclipse period (there may have been endings there) are being resolved and tidied up. There will be healing on the full moon approaching. With a Chitra full moon we gain here. There is something worthwhile to receive and move upward with. So after all this testing and re-visiting we now start to move forward/on. Especially as right after Venus moves forward sweetening the love in our lives.
