The bonus time of First Adar, akin to a leap year on the Gregorian calendar,  has been a time for incubating joy. As the moon wanes, it is time to collect the fruits of our labor and prepare for joyfulness to burst forth in full force with the birth of the new moon later this week.

The Pisces New Moon that astrologically begins the month of March with some expansive and complex astrological configurations takes place on Wednesday, March 2nd at 9:35 am PST, or afternoon for points east. When the Moon meets up with the  Sun at 12º Pisces, the  Sun and Moonare just two degrees shy of generous Jupiter.

While this New Moon marks the beginning of the Moon’s cycle with the  Sun, we are simultaneously reaching something of a closing chapter where the recent retrograde of Venus is concerned. As the planet of love and beauty revisits the degree where she stationed retrograde last December conjunct Pluto, with currently Mars in tow, this Venus-Pluto connection is serving us some final notes on integrating what we’ve learned and have been healing since the start of the year.
