  • Spring.

    The Vernal Equinox occurs tomorrow, March 20, at 2 am EST as the Sun enters Aries, marking the re-entry of the fire element into our planetary cycles. The opposition of Mars in Cancer to Pluto in Capricorn has certainly been fiery, but the fire element has been notably missing.

    The chart for the Vernal Equinox point features the Equinox Sun nearly exactly square to Pluto and still within orb of a square to Mars which is moving away from that pesky opposition point. Pluto, which is stationing (slowing down) in preparation for its retrograde turn, is amplified in intensity. We also find an opposition between Mercury (mental functions) and Saturn (disillusionment) that is likely to create some negative thinking and difficulty in communication processes.

    One day later, the Libra Full Moon will move into position to square Mars and Pluto as it opposes the Sun, forming a Grand Cross. The next few days will be a powerful time, and the energy of this time will spill over into the next few weeks and possibly months. It's very important now, in this time of great power, to be aware of the energy that we are sending into the world. Everything is amplified now, and each small event ripples into a greater event that has far-reaching consequences.

    Happy Spring to you!  The flowers are beautiful!  If I took a picture of my yard you would see freezing rain pellets, ice covered trees, and downed branches.  I want your version today!

    Oh Jen, those are gorgeous!! How on earth do you guys have flowers already?

    Happy spring

    I'm so glad that intensity is my native habitat, or this Equinox might be a bit much.

    Your flower closeups are breathtaking.  I like what you've done with the background and profile pic, too.

  • BlueCollarGoddess
    Well done! :)

    Ditto all of the above.

    Now if only I knew what any of that meant...lol

    The pics are gorgeous, Jen. When did you get flowers?  Sheesh.

    They bloomed two days ago.  We had an extremely mild winter, so they are out in force today, but they usually start to show about now.
    Makes me happy.

    Something sweet.

    Happy Vernal Equinox to you!

    Mother Nature wanted to call him Vern, but he protested and insisted on his full name and his great-grandmother's maiden name. As a mild reprimand, his mother said that she would allow him to instill hope in people, but that she would never allow him to be warm enough for reasonable people to go out without a hat and gloves AND as extra punishment, he would offer a good percentage of the Americas a "significant" snowfall. "But", she said, "don't forget that hope is most important, for hope Springs eternal"

    You're lucky I'm not in your garden.  'Cause I'd immediately munch up those delicious-screaming flowers!

    Daffodils already? Wow. I love daffodils and the pretty drops of water just sitting on top of them.

    Happy Spring!

    Today was a really awesome day, I'm really glad that's the energy that was released into the universe, especially since I wasn't aware of how that worked!

    Happy Spring to you!
