Theme: Lucky in partnership
Today any close relationships can bring good fortune. Emotions are more harmonious and generosity is highlighted. The themes of travel, philosophy and other cultures are emphasized. Continue to take advantage of the chance to accomplish your goals. There is an easy flow between spiritual and material values. Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back.~Plato

Theme: Getting it done!
Today with the Sun, our purpose, in good aspect to the planet of action, Mars it’s ‘get things done day!’ Energy levels are higher yet emotions may also fligh high too. If someone rattles you, count to 10 before you speak. It continues to be a time of insight into old wounds in relation to the self. With the Moon and Venus in Aquarius the urge for freedom, going against the established order and friendship are highlighted. Send me off forever but I ask you please Don’t fence me in.~Cole Porter

Theme: Double date!
The Moon and Venus are chummy today – and so are Mercury and Chiron. This means that emotional expression is strong and communication is potentially healing. With Venus in Aquarius for the next three weeks relating is zany and unconventional. As Mercury goes retrograde on the 5th of March now is the time to send those letters and start projects. Otherwise you’d be best to wait a few weeks. When we give, whatever loving concern we give, we should not expect any return…Jetsunma Ahkon Norbu Lhamo
Today the Moon is Void of Course from 1.48 pm EST USA until 2.07 pm. If you’re in another country check what that means for you time-wise. It’s best to avoid making major decisions or signing contracts during this time.
The following is an excerpt from a teaching by Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo called “The Bodhisattva Ideal”
In the view of the Bodhisattva, we realize that everything in life is impermanent, that nothing we can gather has any meaning other than the collection of virtuous habitual tendencies within our mindstream. Having realized that, one travels a moderate path in which one’s own enlightenment and the enlightenment of others become the same weight, and nondual.
Further, we come to understand that we are one and others are many. Even in this room, let’s say, if I am practicing as a Bodhisattva, I think that yes, my happiness is equal to the happiness of any one of you. But there are so many more of you than there are of me that it only makes sense for me to do what is beneficial for you rather than what is beneficial for me. This I try my best to live by. As a Bodhisattva, I consider this to be the most precious understanding that I have. It’s my treasure and my wealth. It’s reasonable and logical that the needs of the many would outweigh the needs of the one. Because we are the same, and because we all wish to be happy, and because in our nature we are absolutely inseparable and indistinguishable from one another, I find that I cannot be happy without you. So all of the different gatherings and collections that one can make during the course of one’s lifetime have to be understood in that way. Are they really worth anything? Or are they the gaudy childlike baubles that we play with until we have a better understanding of what the Buddha has taught.

Theme: Altered Egos
With so much planetary energy in the contrasting signs of Pisces and Capricorn there is a tension between the transcendental qualities of Pisces and the more earth-bound focus of Capricorn. The energy of Pisces concerns self-sacrifice, and seeking to be part of a bigger universe. On the other hand, Capricorn energy is focused on achieving practical, sustainable and long-lasting outcomes on planet earth. Today the Capricorn energy is more ascendant. There is also a tendency to feel constrained or hemmed in which can lead to pushing back against the source of perceived restrictions. I longed to break out of the system and do different roles.~Leslie Caron
