Welcome to March, well, what else can I
say�.? Things will be very intense from March 4-7 and again around Spring, on March 20, 21. Time to get moving! Mars is here
with Pluto, and that means: take action. I�ve been giving a lot of thought to
this new Pluto in Capricorn time period. It�s always so hard to explain this to
the lay person, but, I see it like this:
Sometimes in life we can feel it coming� we
can feel it building up� and the sense is that sometimes we just need WHOLESALE
SWEEPING CHANGES IN OUR LIVES�.�
Now is one of those times.
Heading into a period like this is very
uncomfortable for me. I feel compelled to warn people of coming tensions, etc.
Yet, that�s not really the purpose of astrology � to teach you when to duck.
And I don�t want to be a doomsayer. Astrology tells us, if we listen correctly,
what TYPE of thing will be coming. It is up to so many other factors in the
charts to determine what will in fact happen. March will be a month where we need
to ACT. And I�m talking about acting on matters that are no surprise to us.
Matters that have been outstanding and unresolved for a long, long time
(Pluto.) The way the planets seem to work it this: the more we act, the more
they support us. The more we don�t, the reverse is true. This should come as no
surprise to anyone as the �planets� are merely symbols of our own urges.
May your March be
productive, fulfilling, and as uneventful as possible.

Chiron Research
In Martin Lass� wonderful book on Chiron, �Chiron � Healing Body and Soul,� he
describes this asteroid/comet/dwarf planet eloquently,
�It represents what we feel is most missing,
unbalanced, unjust and/or most in need of correction, fixing or getting rid of
in our lives. This, in return, determines what we seek in life, who we related
to or not, the paths we walk, things we will attract or repel, and the destiny
we will meet. In short, the natal placement of Chiron outlines our specific
wounds/voids that determine our values. In addition, it encapsulates the
healing path and the gifts in our wounds.�
I�m keeping a very close watch on Chiron
these days. Its mysterious nature of being the �wounded healer� has me
mystified. It seems to push us hard towards some destiny, at times, even stronger than Pluto or Uranus. For better
or worse, Chiron inspires us to do something special, in some type of attempt to heal our own �wounds.� It
drives many of us to be famous; others, infamous. Here are some of the notable
findings I�ve come up with so far�

Following Up on the Newlyweds�
You�ll recall I picked the time and date
for a couple�s wedding (electional astrology) back in
October. What a funny story.
Anyhow, the couple is
doing fine and are well into wedded bliss� a funny thing happened as a
follow up on that story:
It seems at the time of the wedding, I was
sitting next to a woman who somehow didn�t seem to happy with me. I found out
later that she was related to a member of the bridal party and that she didn�t
appreciate that I kept checking my watch every minute or so. -
- - Every few seconds actually.
