Mercury is now at the final degree of Pisces where it will stay until 11:35 pm PST tonight, March 5. Venus will occupy the last degree of Pisces from 9 pm PST tonight until 3:46 pm March 6 when it enters Aries. Meditate well, since this time is showing you what you’re dreaming for your future.
As we become more aware in this lifetime, we feel more than we used to. In astrology, the three feeling modes are Cancer (active personal feelings), Scorpio (fixed shared deep feelings), and Pisces (changing vast feelings we share with all others through all time). We all have Pisces somewhere in our charts. That is where we feel timeless feelings common to the human conditions, especially when that sector is activated, as it’s been for a few weeks.
Pisces is where we tap into the collective hologram, with its ghosts, superstitions, vague imagery, and echoes of memories of perceptions of echoes of memories of perceptions of echoes of memories….
Remember too that life was never that easy. In fact, it’s safe to say that life was fairly difficult for 99.99% of the human race, with wealth only alleviating a fraction of the pain. For example, you could have been worth the equivalent of a million dollars in the 14th century, but if you had a toothache, your options were extremely limited. We all tap into those vague, vast feelings of sorrow and suffering once in a while. The trick is not to take them personally, and have compassion for those who have suffered, are suffering, or will suffer.
Mercury and Venus are now at the end of the end of their 2018 journey through the Piscean “dreamscape” part of our human reality. As you know from previous articles, Rudhyar says it's where we visualize the ideal we would become, and over time we will see that ideal made manifest in our lives. In his "Astrological Mandala" he notes that this is related to our self-transformational ability that we cultivate through pouring our feelings and will into a visualized "mental image" aka "thought form." This projects that energy pattern into time as a "formula" for future developments on the mental, emotional, and physical levels of existence.
Some of what we think (Mercury) or find we like or value (Venus) at this time of dreaming the future will be powered up by the Sun between 9:16 am PDT March 19 and 9:16 am PDT March 20, when the Sun transits 30 Pisces en route to the Equinox at 9:16 am PDT, 4:16 pm GMT. Still, due to the coming Mars retrograde period between late June and late August this year, we won’t have Mars activating these facets of what we’re dreaming until December 30-31, 2018. That will no doubt make for an interesting Western New Year’s Eve!
Even though Mercury is in exile, it is still highly receptive to impressions and visions in Pisces, and Venus makes it all pleasing. With Venus at the end of the end of its exaltation sign of Pisces, open to the expansive and compassionate vast feeling field you’ve moving through at present. Use your ability to focus Venusian energy to “value” or “capture a pleasing form” of what you want to become the illuminated “Law” set into motion in the 24 hours before the Equinox.
If you want to know more about the importance of the last degree of Pisces in helping us “dream the future” into manifestation, when you’re done here, please go check out The 30th Degree of Pisces – Archetypes, Thoughtforms, and the Power To Make Our Dreams Real. 30 Pisces is said to be a degree of "archetypalization,' where we sound the "cosmic tone" that creates our future.
Pay attention to dreams, visions, and what could be past life echoes during this time. Sometimes when we experience strange flashes of remembering other lifetimes, often we are clearing out old karmic residue by “returning to the scene of the crime.” When I say that, I mean I've found we must somehow re-experience everything that ever wounded us, whether in this lifetime or in other lifetimes, so we can become spiritual adults in healing those wounds.
When we re-experience an old wound, or form of suffering, whether from earlier this life or from another life, we are given the opportunity be conscious in changing our patterns of response. Through those choices we come out of a sense of powerlessness into power. By choosing to antidote the wound rather than suffer them, we break the link between pain and suffering, and create a pattern that will help us do it again and again in the future.
I speak of how this fits into our challenge to become Masters of our destiny in my book Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend. When we learn how to welcome opportunities to turn negative past karmas into positive future karmas, we no longer suffer as we once did, and become agents of “the Corrective Force of Nature Herself.” We are at peace with moving from darkness to light and ignorance to awareness as we navigate the vast collective consciousness we all are a part of.
Past as Prologue
This degree has been a point of significance in previous years due to celestial events by Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus, as well as a HUGE Solar Eclipse on this degree in 2015! We had a huge long term activation of this degree when Venus and Mars conjuncted at 30 Pisces in April 2009. That was the degree where Venus went stationary direct as well.
That Venus-Mars fusion energy was activated in extraordinary ways by the long term dance Jupiter and Uranus did beginning May 2010. Uranus occupied 30 Pisces in May 2010, and Jupiter was on this degree from May 30 through June 6, 2010. This was the "awakening and expansion of the dream."
Then Uranus retrograded back across 30 Pisces between mid-August and mid-September 2010. Jupiter retrograded across 30 Pisces from September 9-16. This revolutionized the dream, followed by a new look at the truth of the dream.
Jupiter again traversed 30 Pisces between January 16-22 2011. This final Jupiterian promise, protection, reward, opening, or greater Way opening was further electrified by Uranus when it made its final pass across 30 Pisces between February 21 and March 12, 2011. March 2011 was especially important, since Mercury conjuncted Uranus at 30 Pisces, giving a final "Guide of Souls" coordination to the dream being individualized by Uranus. This was then vitalized by the Sun, activated by Mars, and mirrored into a self-reflective reality by Venus in March and April of that year.
We then again got Mars, the Sun, Venus, and then Mercury all transiting 30 Pisces in a short period of time in March and April 2013, renewing what was set into motion by the dreaming we did between April 2009 and April 2011. 2015 was the next big “action beat” in the process, since Venus and Mars made an almost simultaneous pass over 30 Pisces in February, followed by the very powerful Solar Eclipse at 30 Pisces just before the Equinox!
In late January and early February we got the 2017 activation of this degree by Mars and then Venus about 6 days later. Every transit of Pisces, and especially of the last few degrees of Pisces, we move through the dreamscape where we are given glimpses of how to navigate the end of the end before the beginning of the beginning. Enjoy the power to shape your future!
As it is the end of the end before the beginning, forgive much as you experience and move within the universal feeling field. Allow whatever needs to flow down the timestream to go with your blessings, since we will not need to be dealing with that excess baggage in the near future. Dream well, referencing your Heart to know what you want to be made manifest. Then sound the “Creative Word” that will take shape over the next months and years.
