Happy 2015 International Astrology Day

by Robert Wilkinson

It’s International Astrology Day! It's also a day of celebration around the world for other reasons!

It is, of course, the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern. Thanks to Wikipedia, we also find it's the Iranian new year (Norouz), celebrated throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. It's also the beginning of the Bahá'í calendar, Ostara, and Chunfen in Asia. And of course it would be "Vernal Equinox Day," which we are told is a public holiday in Japan.

So we now pass out of the dream time of the Sun at 30 Pisces, and power up a new season which puts the focus directly on Aries since the Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus are all significant players in the Equinox chart. This shall be a season of revolution, with action, originality, and dynamic activity front and center.

Stay focused, be creative and courageous, and embrace the adventure into a greater inspiration and more natural forms of play. This is a season of openings and new beginnings and initiatives, with rapidly unfolding events that will be a wild ride for everyone affected by the past, present, and future squares from Aries to Capricorn. You can learn more about the coming dynamic season at the Equinox article.

Still, as you’re acting, remember that Mercury is in Pisces so the dream time continues, with mind and interactivity following up the Solar illumination we’ve already glimpsed. This will help us all navigate and substantiate those thought forms over the next 90 days.

See the vision, find understanding and a plan, decide what needs deciding, and go find your independent allies with whom you can enjoy the ride. To quote our old friend the I Ching, “pleasure shared is pleasure doubled.”
