New Moon in Pisces - BitchScopes for February 28-March 7th

"Hey March! What’s up? Come on in. OMG good to see you! I’m so glad you’re here! Don’t mind the mess…bit of a world crisis going on and I can’t find a thing to wear! You, on the other hand, look amazing in that Lion outfit. So cute! I may need to borrow that! So here, sit sit sit! Do you need a drink and a snack? I heard traffic through January and February was brutal! Ugh I hate that! Here, drink up and OMG cheers Bitch! Yesssss. Ok so dish! Tell me what your plans are for these 30 days? Oh yes, right right...31! But before you start…I HAVE to ask…when exactly do you put on the lamb outfit? Because honey, I think I speak for more than myself when I say we cannot WAIT for you to become the damn lamb! Can.not.WAIT."

*end scene*

So, the big news this week is of course the New Moon in Pisces. The timing is perfect, of course. Because if the world needs anything right now, its to raise its spiritual vibration, and that’s what this dark moon offers. It also offers us the monthly opportunity to set intentions and sow seeds for what we want to achieve and bring in to our lives. In the dark, in private, in the corners of our hearts, we get to dare to dream, and to share those desires with the Universe.

Jupiter gives us a glimmer of optimism and maybe luck, which is also needed. Especially because Pluto is at the bar, and he can be a bit over-bearing and a party pooper. So stay focused and in the zone!

There is also a focus on love, and the need and desire for love. Mars enters Aquarius this week, and that gives us more focus on humanitarian issues. (Thank Goddess!) Uranus also joins the party, sprinkling a little unexpected je ne sais quoi on the cupcakes. But Uranus, who can get a bad rap for being disruptive, is also a visionary genius with a passion for humanity. So when the disruption happens, it's  because Uranus sees a better way. 

I wish I could use this to explain what is happening in the world right now, but I can’t. I am an Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, and I am a visionary type person. But I don’t know WTF is going on or why. This video game sucks! First we had that really hard level with the orange guy. I thought we would never get out of that level! Then we got to the pandemic levels 1 AND 2! Seriously? Two levels of that shit! Rough. Now we have the Russian guy. I think I’ll switch to Playstation…

Hang in there, bitches. Love one another. Love yourself. Find laughter in every day. Hit me up if you get stuck.

Monday February 28
Venus trine North Node - others can recognize your potential and value, which can help you move toward your life purpose/mission
Mars trine North Node - clear sense of your mission and motivation to achieve it
Chiron sextile Juno - healing and intuitive connection to your life partner
Vesta quincunx Lilith - friction at work; desire to rebel

Tuesday March 1
Sun sextile Uranus - “excitement” and unexpected “opportunities”. I feel like there’s a lot there that is subject to POV, hence the quotes

Wednesday March 2
Mercury conjunct Saturn - good transit for work and focus
New Moon 12° Pisces 9:34am Jupiter sweetens this moon, which is good because Pluto and Saturn slide into the party and make this potentially tense and uncomfortable. Jupiter can help us hold on to our optimism, however. And we need that!

Thursday March 3
Mars conjunct Pluto - ambition and drive to succeed
Venus conjunct Pluto - what do we want? LOVE! When do we want it? RIGHT NOW! Make good choices, bitches!
Vesta trine North Node - facts align with your desires and move you forward on your destined path
Uranus square Juno - disruptions can add tension to your relationship

Friday March 4
No major transits. Take a nap. Drink a beer. Not in that order

Saturday March 5
Pluto conjunct Vesta - your dedication for something can become intense
Mercury sextile Eris - you’re able to communicate authentically
Mars enters Aquarius - idealistic and humanitarian ideals and drives

Venus enters Aquarius - intellectual connections are hawt   
Sun conjunct Jupiter - Happiness and optimism. Um, hold on let me check that. Huh. Ok. Yeah, that checks out. Sure, whatever.
Venus conjunct Mars love and passion and sex. Sure, go for it. The world needs more of all that.

Sunday March 6
Mercury square North Node - don’t talk yourself out of a pivotal step toward your goals/destiny.
Mercury square South Node - might feel a little like a mini-mercury-retrograde

Monday March 7
Take another nap. Have another beer. No, make it wine. Don’t want to be bloated on a Tuesday.

*******

ARIES - This new moon lands in your 12th house, so it is time for you to have some rest and heal.  Oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to.  *yelling over the music* GET OFF THE BIKE! SPIN CLASS IS OVER!  Hit the shower and then get a massage or take a nap.  Your dreams may tap into your deeper unconscious mind, and you may be ready to get out of your own way. In the meantime, you might find yourself  feeling really drawn to help others, so follow that nudge. 

TAURUS - This sensitive new moon hits your house of friends and dreams. So if your friends group is running a bit thin, or if you are in need of friends that align better with your beliefs, this is a great time to sow that seed or intention.  Venus and Mars are situated in your 10th house of fame and honors, while the North Node is (and will continue to be for quite a while) in your 1st house of self, so you could find yourself with more attention on you than usual. 

 

GEMINI - This new moon is a great one for your career.  What you sow/intend and begin now will move you toward your dreams.  Some classes or education of some kind may be in order, and you may find yourself more willing to do that now than you have in the past.  You may find yourself doubling down on your personal beliefs while Mars and Venus are conjunct in your 9th house.  Make sure your beliefs really in alignment with your authentic self.

CANCER - The new moon will offer you an experience, or a new phase that is in alignment with your dreams and goals.  There's nothing but good stuff lined up for your intimate relationships. Mars and Venus are in your 8th house of intimacy, sex, kink (and taxes if you find that sexy). And Pluto is in your 7th house (has been for some time),  where it will either deepen your relationship, or push you to transform it.  Whatever this moon cooks up for you, you are likely to find some deep bonds from it. 

LEO - The new moon covers your dark and sensitive 8th house of intimacy.  This is a good time to get some therapy if that has been on your mind.  Venus and Mars will be in your 7th house, which leads me to believe this new moon has the potential to create some very strong intimacy bonds for you and your partner, if you have one.  You can also dig deeper into yourself...maybe examine the issues of power and control, as well as the balance between giving and receiving in your life.  (Hint: always giving is a sign of trust issues and difficulty being vulnerable)

VIRGO - This new moon can really help a new relationship unfold, or allow a current relationship to become "contractual".  This house doesn't necessarily just rule marriage and love relationships.  The 7th also pertains to business partners and other types of contracted relationships.  In fact, with Venus and Mars in your house of rulership, the 6th, this may very well be a new business connection that's coming in.  But with the North Node in your 9th house of travel, it could just as easily be a romance with someone from overseas.  Oooooooooh!

LIBRA - The new moon hits your 6th house of work, work environment, and daily routine.  Take some time to think about and set some intentions for what you want.  You're definitely due for a change, and probably some needed relief.  Well it's coming! And, if you've been all work and no play, that's going to change too. Mars and Venus are conjunct in what is possibly the best place for them: the 5th house of fun and romance! Whatever changes are coming, they will only help your personal relationships.

SCORPIO - This new moon lands in your 5th house of play and romance.  I think I've been saying for awhile that you need better balance and more fun in your life. This is your chance to co-create some playtime. Venus and Mars are in your 4th house, sweetening things at home.  All signs point to a refreshing wind of change. The 5th house is also where creativity lives. So this new moon may inspire you to start a creative project that will carry you forward into new times. 

SAGITTARIUS - The new moon is in your 4th house of home and family, pointing to what could be a refresh or renewal of the family life as you experience it. This is a positive development for you, because your head has been down and focused on work and money, especially since the North Node has been in your 6th house of routine and habits.  You may decide that it is time for some upgrades around the house.  All of this will create more balance, and a better place for you to nest in, when you are not exploring the world.   

CAPRICORN - This new moon in your 3rd house of community and communication could put you in a social spotlight of sorts.  You may find yourself busy and out and about, even though you just finished telling your friends how tired you are.   It is safe to go have some fun! Uranus and Taurus are in your 5th house of play and creativity, and Mars and Venus are canoodling in your money sector, which is excellent.  Take this time among your friends to bounce some ideas around about a reinvention of you.  It is already underway, but you probably didn't notice because you were working...

AQUARIUS - This new moon is in your 2nd house of earned money.  New opportunities for making money can be manifested out of this new moon, as well as solutions to any issues you're having with money.  Do your part of the work and the Universe will meet you at least halfway.  You should also be feeling pretty good about yourself these days as well, as Mars and Venus are in your 1st house of self and identity. 

PISCES -  This new moon lands in your 1st house of self and identity, and offers a fresh start and a new beginning.  Manifest to your heart's content! This is a potent time for you to co-create a new chapter in your life.  Mars and Venus are conjunct in your 12th house, so don't be surprised if your intuition is even stronger than normal.  You may want more privacy around this conjunction as well, or not feel so into PDAs as usual.  Happy birthday to you...create something new! 

Don't miss out: 2/22/2022

 Back on February 2nd,  I briefly mentioned some of the numerological significance of all the 2's.  I did an Instagram post about it as well.   I feel like this phenomena deserves a little more attention, so I thought I'd write an article about the next big 2 day...2/22/2022. 

It is special for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that we won't see this again until 2222. 

2022 is a 6 year, which is about healing and finding balance after the mess of the last 2 years (2020 was a 4 year of building foundations, and 2021 was a 5 year of changes). 6 relates to home, health, humanitarianism, and responsibility (If you think this is sounding like Virgo, you're right. Virgo is the 6th sign of the Zodiac). (The last time we had 6 years was 2013, 2004)

The number 2 is a number of intuition, balance, cooperation, duality, internal/external.  It is a feminine number associated with inclusivity and faith.  The number 2 correlates to the High Priestess card in Tarot, who is quietly confident and trusts her intuition.  

On 2/2/2022, we had a 1 vibration in an 8 month (add up all the 2's to get 10, which reduces to 1, and add the month 2 to 2022 to get 8).   That day was about new beginnings, and personal power.  This came on the heels of the Aquarius New Moon, Venus stationing Direct, and the Lunar New Year.  The New Moon was hailed by some as the most powerful new moon of the year,  offering a clean slate and new beginnings. 

Now we are at 2/22/2022.  This is a 3 vibration in an 8 month, which is about creativity, communication, inspiration, optimism (If you think this sounds like Gemini, you're right again).  

The number 22 is considered a "master number".   22 is not "reduced" to 11 (which is a fantastic master number that most know as the "make a wish" number) but is left whole, and as such, represents building something out of seeming "nothing", accomplishment, achievement, fulfillment of your highest aspirations.

In Tarot, the number 22 correlates with the Fool Card.  The Fool is the first card of the Major Arcana and is numbered 0, but it also 22.  The last card is 21, and the cycle begins again with the Fool.  The Fool is about setting out on new adventures, and the potential that exists when there is nothing holding you back or weighing you down. 

Finally, this all happens on a TWOsday! The Moon is in Scorpio (which is another 8) and is in a waning gibbous phase. During this phase,  we should express gratitude as we begin to benefit from the work of the last 2 weeks (and farther back).

I don't even know if I can properly summarize all this, so here are the key words for harnessing the power of Tuesday:  

High Priestess, Fool, intuition, feminine, home, heart, healing, new beginnings, personal power, transformation, creativity, communication, optimism, accomplishment, fulfillment, gratitude 

One for him, One for her - BitchScopes for February 21-28

It’s going to be an interesting week at the “office”, judging by the asteroids. The only major planetary transits (aside from the moon, which I don’t cover here) involve Neptune and Uranus to Mars, Venus and Mercury. Neptune imparts his usual dreamy, foggy romantic vibes, while Uranus and Mercury can make us a little nervous and bajiggity. All of the remaining transits I have listed involve the asteroids and Eris (a dwarf planet like Pluto) and pertain to work, and are challenging aspects (square and quincunx).

Because Mars and Venus have been conjunct, they take turns having the same aspects to Lilith, Eris, and Vesta. Mars represents the masculine, Venus represents the feminine. Eris and Lilith represent the feminine warrior and the rebellious nature of the feminine and the fight to not be dominated. The planets deal one for him, one for her; Quincunx for him, quincunx for her; Square for him, square for her.

Vesta represents our sacred flame, or our work. If you’re a stay at home mom, that is your sacred flame. If you’re an entrepreneur, that is your sacred flame. If you’re a corporate employee, Vesta represents your work environment and conditions (but if you have a side hustle that is truly your passion and not just extra money, Vesta will represent that).

The North Node, representing your life purpose, mission, or calling, also has trines (which are harmonious) to both Mars and Venus. So overall, there’s a pretty strong focus on finding balance between the masculine and feminine energies within us, and around us.

If only this balance could be achieved in one week with some planetary aspects! We have a long way to go in this fight. But this is one of those weeks where you could have a significant realization or experience that shows you your value, or that shows you who undervalues you and where. What that experience will look like is unknown and depends on myriad factors. I’m not entirely certain that conflict can be avoided, but to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

This week’s BitchScopes will focus on the area of your chart where these energies are focused, which should give you an idea of how this could potentially play out at work.

ARIES - This week your words are both your most powerful weapon and most dangerous asset. You could initiate conflict, or you could sell ice cream in Alaska. Choose your battles carefully. If you decide that conflict is worth the fight, see it through, and know that you have more power at your back than you realize. You are currently in a period of time where your self image is shifting, for the positive, as a result of how you value yourself. As a result you will see the outside world valuing you more as well. This is one of those weeks that could be significant in the big picture, but you won’t see it until later.


TAURUS - Spiritual pursuits, finding meaning in the big picture, and searching for your personal truth are some of the current themes for you. Finding meaning in life via spirituality (whatever that is to you) will help you realize your true value as a person. This value doesn’t come from what you contribute to the household, or the grades you get, but is just the intrinsic value of you, simply because you exist. You are looking for your North Node, or life purpose. You don’t need to look too hard or dig super deep, because generally you will find that answer in the skills and gifts you were naturally born with.


GEMINI - What are the things you find yourself rebelling against these days? In the answer to that question, you will also find a shift in your self image, for the better. Both in love and at work you may find yourself in deep water, searching for understanding of yourself via intimacy with others (which isn’t always sexual), and exploration of darker corners. Dare to dream big and let your faith in God, however you define God, lead you to the next step.


CANCER - It’s all about relationships for you right now. Love and personal relationships, work relationships, and Divine relationship. The answer is “relationships”, but what is the question? I think you will find what you are looking for in the shadows of your 12th house, where Lilith is. In the 12th, we are necessarily isolated, and in that isolation we can find either healing or hell, or both, as Lilith did when she was both liberated and cast out. You have to define who you are before you can exist in any relationship. Aha! So the question is: “Who am I?” Look in the dark corners of yourself to find out.


LEO - At present, you may be questioning your meaning and value. First thing first… you need to get in your body and ground yourself. Life in the body is not nearly as comfortable as life floating around in the upper chakras of love and light, but being in the body is required. Once you’re grounded, notice what is pissing you off, and lean into it. Yes, lean into the pissed- offedness, for therein you will find your dreams (Embroider THAT on a pillow!) For real though, your career feels dialed in and you are on track for your life purpose. But there is something more, another layer, another facet. I suspect it is an organization of some kind, and if you lean into the angst, you will eventually find yourself in service to the people harmed by this organization. I know that’s a lot to unpack. Eat a snack and come back to this.


VIRGO - This is just an intuitive hit inspired by the astrology… but if you are NOT looking to get pregnant, be very careful this month. If you ARE looking to get pregnant, go get busy. Now, where was I? Oh yes, the astrology. It’s your 5th house that’s drawing my attention. Creativity and children are emphasized this week. Your words at work are powerful. And apparently you’re fertile, if not literally then figuratively. What you plant will grow, so…sow your seeds consciously.


LIBRA - You may find yourself trying to define or re-define what and how “home” feels to you. This has been a bit of an ongoing theme for you. This week the family unit should have good communication going for it. The relationship at the center of your family can find some healing due to Mercury activating Chiron in your 7th house. But there’s also dust kicked up around the notions of truth and home. This doesn’t mean anyone is lying, rather it means your definition of home may be shifting. For example: you may feel at home somewhere other than your “home”, or you may be missing home, or wanting to move. This week, explore your truth around this with your words, either written or spoken.

SCORPIO - Your words can activate some strong money energy this week. I would advise you to be very conscious of how you talk to yourself, how you talk to your money (for example, when you pay a bill, express gratitude rather than resentment), and how you talk about your “job”. If you are in the enviable position of loving what you do for work, this shouldn’t be hard. But if you are not loving your job, it can be challenging to feel abundant and grateful. Try thinking about who the company serves in positive terms (rather than grousing about the executives, think about the clients who benefit in some way). How you speak will partially determine the flow of resources and the opportunities that form.

SAGITTARIUS - Your home and money are tied together this week, and for some time to come. If you are thinking about some financial venture around your home or real estate, that looks very positive. If you have the ability or opportunity to work from home, that could benefit you financially. I am not ruling out a basic refinancing, but that feels less likely than a business or money making opportunity that is based out of your home. Keep your eyes and ears open, and make sure you communicate clearly with your spouse or partner about this as well.

CAPRICORN - This is a good week for you - you have the power of persuasion on your side. You could pretty easily convince people to take your side or invest in you. People will perceive you very positively out “in the world” or “in the wild”, (depending on how you look at it). Issues around both your home and your work environment will be much more chill than in the last many weeks. If you find it hard to know how to best capitalize on this, remember: your words can make you money this week.

AQUARIUS - This week: from the depths of your visionary mind comes a great idea that makes money! Here’s some do’s and don’ts - Don’t: get sidetracked by what feels like Mercury retrograde, particularly at home. Do: pay attention and write down brilliant ideas. Don’t: blow off your night time dreams, even if they seem nonsensical. Do: research your idea and start acting on it in small steps. This week could be a fun experiment in manifesting if you approach it the right way.


PISCES - The juice this week can be found in your friends. You need to connect for multiple reasons. You need the recharge that only good friends can offer, and a friend connection could lead to something, well…juicy. That juice could be love, or it could be a money making opportunity, or it could be a huge aha moment you have about yourself and your value. All of the options are pretty sweet. Make the effort to connect this week…you’ll be glad you did.
