Following the last NM in Aquarius (+ solar eclipse), this FM also shows a lot of planets on top of the horizon. We are now dealing with a mutable cross (Pisces- Virgo-Gemini-Sagittarius). The most interesting in this lunation is that the full moon occurs in the axis of the nodes. Mercury retrograde, ruler of the sign Virgo, plays the role of the trickster. There are 5 planets in Pisces, including Mars, the god of war searching to amplify intuition, emotional sensitivity and compassion... without forgetting his part of mystery in a water sign ruled by Neptune!
So let’s dive in the chart and find the spots !

* The moon in Virgo disappears for a while!
The lunar eclipse of March 3rd occurs mainly over Asia, Oceania, and America. The phenomenon rises over eastern Europe, passes over Asia, the Indian Ocean and Australia, and sets over the western Pacific and North America.
A moon in Virgo is marked by analysis, order and attention to detail. This aspect brings a strong ability to analyse deep emotions for a better understanding.
The need for perfection, a tendency to analyse people. and an excessive self-criticism should be put apart during the eclipse. The moon in Virgo shows us how to master things, how to becoming an expert in our field, understanding how objects work.
* Mercury R in Pisces (conjunct the sun and Pallas) is in exile! The god of communication, has 2 sides during this eclipse: exile and retrograde. That makes him the perfect trickster, providing many challenges in an external communication but opening many gates in an internal communication, that leads to the Castaneda concept of “link with the Nagual”.
A retrograde planet involves a period of revision, introspection and transformation. It is not considered as negative, but rather as a moment conducive to inner reflection. The energy is turn inwards.
A planet in exile refers to an astrological position where a planet is in the zodiac sign opposite to the one it governs.
* Axis of the nodes and Mutable cross: the very reliable washing machine !
The North Node in Pisces (in effect until July 2026), represents a deep evolutionary phase centred on letting go, spirituality, intuition and compassion. This transit invites us to abandon rigid structures, excessive control and rational logics to turn towards more subtle dimensions of life: the imaginary, the dream, universal empathy and faith in a higher order.
The South Node in Virgo highlights a tendency to control, analyse and rationalize life. The emphasis on logic can lead to a closure to emotions, difficulty letting go or trusting intuition. It’s not a weakness, but a karma to transcend.
The mutable cross is made by the signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces form which conclude each zodiac season. These signs embody the need for transformation, interaction, communication, acquisition and transmission of information. One can also see in this symbol the Holy Spirit, the third part of the Christian Trinity, and symbolizes the organization of matter and the response of substance to spiritual evolution. (3rd day of the 3rd month of the year).
The Black Moon in Sagittarius hides a deep quest for meaning, truth and freedom, often associated with a desire for intellectual, spiritual or geographical exploration.
So... Let’s bring our karmas to the laundry.
* The interaction Mars/Neptune: dilemma between action and imagination !
Mars in Pisces occupies the field of Neptune... Neptune in Aries occupies the sign of Mars.
This aspect between Mars and Neptune represents a fundamental tension between concrete action and idealism, between physical reality and the world of imagination. This dynamic can be both inspiring and complex, depending on whether it is harmonious or difficult.
As Neptune conjuncts Saturn, we must be aware of getting rid of our psychological limitations.
* The sun conjuncts Pallas in Pisces, make your own choices ones !
This aspect symbolizes a powerful fusion between spiritual identity and strategic, creative and independent intelligence (Pallas). In a Neptunian sign, It might allow a clear vision of the future and a deep need for freedom in life choices.
* Bouncing on the last new Moon...
On the 17th February, we have titled the article “the show must go on” in reference on what’s happening in the world of corruption and scandals. Since the revelation of the so called Epstein files, the light of truth illuminates the darkness of lies.Can we see the print of the real New world ? Are We watching a film or enjoying a theatre piece ? Who is behind the curtains ? Is the system cracking ?

Quote of the moon :
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one
can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
