Following the last NM (16th February) and the last FM (3rd March) where almost all the planets were located on top of the horizon, We need to notice that this NM has a peculiar characteristic: almost all the planets are located under the line of the horizon.

When almost all the planets are under the horizon (line Ascendant-Descendant East- West) the chart amplifies the importance of maturation and transmutation. New Moons are a time for rejuvenation and manifestation. During that special time, an inner change is necessary, and above all, We need to see the “world” differently. It seems that We have to forget our eyes in the benefit of the 3rd eye, linked with perception and balance between the two hemispheres of the brain.
A new moon in Pisces, signals a time filled with emotion, creative breakthroughs, and fantastical energy to move forward. We might learn into our intuition by understanding our innermost feelings. The mutable cross ( Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces) shows the process of transformation influenced by communication, acquisition and transmission of information.
Step 1: let’s follow the trickster!
Mercury R is conjuncts Vesta and the North Node. Vesta, goddess of the sacred fire, symbolizes prayer, chastity, service to a higher cause and inner stability.Mercury, planet of mind, communication and thought, in conjunction with Vesta, transforms the intellect into a tool for clairvoyance, discernment and meditation.
Mercury R conjuncts the North Node is a window of opportunity to review, reformulate or transform one’s way of thinking, often through deep conversations, writings or changes in perspective. The process can be intense, but it allows to release thoughts anchored in the past.
Step 2 : the couple Mars-Pallas acting as a scout planet.
The conjunction of Mars and Pallas is a powerful astrological aspect that merges Mars' energy of action, determination and passion with Pallas' wisdom, strategy and creative intelligence. This mix creates a dynamic force capable of transforming ideas into concrete actions, particularly in the areas of decision- making, conflict resolution or the achievement of ambitious goals.
This is time for launching projects, making important decisions or resolving conflicts with clarity and efficiency.
Step 3 : where are the rulers of the sign Pisces?
* Jupiter in Cancer key words:
Reconnecting with one’s roots, family, home and past. Welcoming vulnerability as a strength and a gateway to self-knowledge.* Develop compassion, both for oneself and for others.* Foster deep bonds, secure emotional relationships and projects related to motherhood, protection or care. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, which amplifies his qualities: benevolence, intuition, need for emotional security, and ability to nourish and protect.
* Neptune conjuncts Saturn has a collective impact:
This moment is seen as a period of collective reinvention, where dreams must be asserted, tested and acted upon. This conjunction opens a new era of daring and discipline, where action becomes necessary to realize aspirations. It can stimulate progressive social movements, but also amplify radical ideologies or bold forms of leadership.
Saturn, planet of structure, discipline and reality, and Neptune, planet of ideal, dream, spirituality and dissolution of borders gather in the sign of Mars = Aries.
Spring equinox (21st March-0° Aries): the change of season

With equal parts of light and dark, this day is a perfect place of balance within the year. It represents the duality of nature: masculine and feminine, good and evil, above and below, Yin and Yang.The most interesting for us is to see and to understand the change of energy, symbolized by the change of season.
There is a stellium in Aries. The most interesting for us is to see that Neptune, Saturn, Venus and Chiron are located between the sun and the moon in Aries. This is obviously the beginning the Martian energy of Aries and Scorpio (ascendant).
Spot on the Cardinal cross!
It includes the following signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. These signs are grouped into two opposing axes: Aries (Fire) and Libra (Air), as well as Cancer (Water) and Capricorn (Earth), forming a symbolic cross representing initiation, action and dynamism. The cardinal cross embodies the initial impulse, the taking of initiative and the desire to transform situations.
It triggers changes, sets in motion the energies of the zodiacal cycle and opens the door to new projects or phases of life.
Symbol: represented by a central point where opposing forces intersect, it symbolizes the encounter between space (horizontal) and time (vertical), as well as the unity of opposites.
Message of this portal :
Mercury turns direct from the 21st march and keeps delivering subtle messages. Sometimes a picture has a higher impact than words.

Life is like an hourglass, it has to turn upside down to start another beginning.
