MARCH 2020

RUNE OF THE MONTH: Mannaz “the Self”. “Man know thyself and you shall know the universe and God” is a famous quote attributed to the Delphi Oracle. The element of loving kindness is also present in this rune. The self is what distinguishes us from others. It represents our truest essence, our uniqueness, our personal magic which can only be accessed through deep introspection.

Mercury turns direct on Monday 3/9 at 8:49 PM. Its shadow period lasts until 3/30. The degree it turns direct on (28º17’ Pisces) is represented in the Sabian Symbols by “A light breaking into many colors as it passes through a prism”. This retrogradation has enabled us to connect with our multidimensionality, touch the divine within us, enhance our mystical understanding of the universe, expand our perception of beauty, enhance our healing powers and develop our compassion and sensitivity to subtle realms of existence. Works of art that may have been collecting dust on shelves were revisited and completed with renewed inspiration.

This month’s intentional meditation starts on Monday 3/9. Take out as many blank sheets of paper as you will have intentions and placed them near a window, on a balcony or in a garden so that they will bask in the light of the Full Moon in Virgo at exactly 10:48 AM. Once that moment had passed, gather your Full Moon charged blank sheets and place them in a folder.

On Tuesday 3/24 on the New Moon in Pisces take out your blank full moon charged papers and write on each a concise, positive intention. Place them on a balcony, in a garden or near a window so that they are out by exactly 2:28 AM. Once that moment has passed, staple them together and put them away in a folder expecting the manifestation of all your dreams…
