Mercury in Pisces connects with Uranus this morning, then shares a minor aspect with Pluto and the north node of destiny. This means that today could be extremely interesting as truths are revealed, most of which we didn’t see coming.

Thanks to the presence of Uranus, we should try to expect the unexpected. You might overhear people talking about a situation that involves you, allowing you to know the gossip about you that’s going on behind your back. This could cause some conflict in your social relationships. However, it can help you know who you can trust and who has your back before you let them know your deep, dark secrets. Someone you think of as a friend could do something that affects your relationship.

The one thing that’s important to know is that you are in charge of your own destiny. If something isn’t right for you, you will see today that it wasn’t worth pursuing. This doesn’t just concern situations but also perhaps relationships and friendships into which you’ve invested your energy and heart.

There is some tendency today towards self-indulgence or lethargy. We may prefer to rely on the idealized power of others — rather than embrace our own power. Nonetheless, the arc of today’s journey encourages us to more fully understand our unique, individual power and recognize the potential impact that we can make on our world. There are marvelous opportunities to show our abilities today but we need to maintain our balance. We need to carefully target our generosity and personal influence in order to be sure we are not running roughshod over the important perspectives of others. The Virgo Full Moon occurs just after midnight tonight (12:17 AM PDT 27° Virgo/Pisces) and requires just such a delicate balance of many individual perspectives, measured by clear-eyed honesty and humility.

DAILY ORACLE

Flying high above the landscape, the hawk sees both the big picture and the small details, observes the rain and the pond as well as the cloud, and doesn’t miss anything.

When Hawk Spirit arrives, you are called to pay close attention to messages from Spirit that can appear anywhere in any form. Listen to your intuition and keep your eyes open for synchronicities—the meaningful coincidences.

Hawk Spirit asks you not to dismiss the signs that Spirit is sending to guide you. Lately, have you been hearing the same word or song, or coming across the same symbol here, there, and in the strangest places? Perhaps you hear a song on the radio with just the right lyric pertaining to your query, or you begin to notice uncanny billboards, license plates, or other places where repetitive numbers or words show up for you to notice.

Pay attention to the animals that appear for you, and connect with their symbolism. Spirit wants to communicate and reaches out again and again. When Hawk Spirit appears, it is a sign to listen.

2022 LUNAR CALENDAR

3/18/2022 FULL MOON IN LIBRA: Your feeling of safety is now related to order and clarity, even in emotions. You may have the need to organize everything chaotic and disorganized. Try being more tolerant and accept imperfections of life. It is better to trust life and let it run its own way, not everything must be according to our expectations.

3/25/2022 LAST QUARTER MOON IN AQUARIUS: You might have a strong need for being useful to the society and you look for justification in the outside world. You may underestimate what you want from yourself and for yourself. Shyness may be accompanied by resentment of the fact that others ignore you. Do not seek approval from the outside, it will not help you get rid of your doubt and it is harmful to you. You have to trust your inner values.

MARCH CALENDAR

March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. According to folklore, folks wear a shamrock on St. Patrick’s Day because the saint used its three leaves to explain the Trinity.
March 20 brings about the March equinox—also called the vernal or spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere—marking the beginning of spring. In the Southern Hemisphere, this date marks the autumnal equinox and the beginning of fall. On this day, the Sun stands directly over Earth’s equator.
March 29-31 are known as the Borrowing Days. According to lore, the last three days of March have a reputation for being stormy.
