Sunset

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
Looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and they snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all ~Joni Mitchell

Your perspective, my friend, is really important to stay on top of as we approach this upcoming solar eclipse on Saturday. As Joni sings above you can see the same object/person/idea as opposites at any given time dependent on your current mood/attitude. It may be wise to er on the side of neutrality as best you can rather than jumping from good to bad, from black to white, from love to hate; 'I don't know' may be a suitable affirmation to walk you back from any dramatic ledge while this eclipse does its thing. And really it is striving for an early answer beyond your control (karma) that will bring much tormenting suffering at this time. Do what you need to stay calm and in equilibrium. Answers will come after this weekend.

It really is an interestingly underbelly of intensity the buildup to this traffic jam of planets all collecting in Pisces. Those with strong Mercury or Venus (Gemini/Virgo and Taurus/Libra) are being called upon to re-imagine themselves and the way they operate until April when the planets move direct again. Those ruled by Saturn are in for a spiritual upgrade as just hours after the partial eclipse Saturn will move into Pisces. Now those with Pisces (ascendant or moon particularly) are in for a total resurrection of self. 

Pisces is in the limelight now. We all have this sign in our sky/chart/soul. We are oscillating from illusion to enlightenment as a society. From utter avoidance of truth to compassionate liberation. From addiction to connection. From escapism to arrival. This is confronting, overwhelming and most certainly confusing. And we will often swim in both directions here until we can love and accept it all. For this is the gift of Pisces. The devotional path of pure, all embracing and undiminished love.

Stay light,
Mark :)
