Idha modati pecca modati;
katapuñño ubhayattha modati.
So modati so pamodati,
disvā kammavisuddhimattano.
The doer of good rejoices here and hereafter;
one rejoices in both the worlds.
One rejoices and exults,
recollecting one’s own pure deeds.

To hear my full insight into today’s World card, be sure to listen to the video included with this post. Think back to what was happening in your life back in July, right around the 12th, give or take, at the time of the Solar Eclipse in Cancer. Something from that week is being brought up today. Typically, when we see the World, it signifies such things as cycles, completion, and success. If you follow me on Patreon, or my Members Only Area on Facebook, then you may recall a special Tarot Guidance I put out in August titled ‘The Finish Line’, which outlined making it basically to this point in time. If so, you will remember that I said at every Finish Line there is another Starting Line.
Events of this week, and leading up until now, especially since Uranus made its move into Taurus two days ago, are…

Tato adinnaṃ parivajjayeyya
kiñci kvaci sāvako bujjhamāno.
Na hāraye harataṃ nānujaññā.
Sabbaṃ adinnaṃ parivajjayeyya.
A disciple should avoid taking
anything from anywhere knowing it (to belong to another).
One should not steal nor incite another to steal.
One should completely avoid theft.

Pāṇaṃ na hane na ca ghātayeyya,

Ye thāvarā ye ca tasā santi loke.
One should not kill a living being,
nor cause it to be killed,
nor should one incite another to kill.
Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.

New Moon blessings, everyone! Today is the New Moon occurring at 15° Pisces, a positive New Moon indeed, but there is so much more happening. Mercury retrograded yesterday at 29° Pisces, surely putting the old fog machine on HIGH, so you will have to go back over a few things before your new beginning can begin. Early today, a few hours before the New Moon, Uranus, planet of shock and surprise, left Aries to take up residence in Taurus until April 26, 2026.
So, who else picked up on our Queen of Swords showing up exactly on the New Moon? She is beautiful, but perhaps a bit temperamental. Don’t poke the bear; New Moons have a way of bringing out razor-sharp tongues, and once those words are out there, they are impossible to retrieve. Normally, she possesses the mental acuity and determination to make things happen, but all of this…

I never want to be seen as an equal to settler society.
Nor do I ever want to be seen as an equal in the eyes of the colonizer.
And I never want to be seen as “successful” within colonial systems.
It started when I was young.
It was lurking in the beginning stages of public speaking, of meeting with ministers, of being groomed in this space of false indigeniety to achieve colonial success.
It was intertwined in the statements of “you are going to be the next Prime Minister of Canada!” And the “you are so resilient. This is your line of work!”
I would sit there and melt into this feeling of success. These feelings of “I’m gonna do something big with my life.”
The feelings of “I am destined for greatness.”
But the greatness I thought I was destined for was only colonial greatness.
These colonial systems…

Pisces is the last in the circle of 12 signs of the Zodiac. All circles are infinite and have no beginning and no end.
All New Moons mark the beginning of a new cycle as the moon disappears for 2.1/2 days. This is a very powerful New Moon to set new intentions with and to release the past for many reasons. Pisces represents the end of life and the return to the source from where we came. It is a sign or release, of letting go, of forgiveness and compassion and releasing from the physical world to join with our ancestors. Pisces is the completion of our human journey and now we have to deal with whatever karma we have experienced and accumulated in our lifetime and to prepare for the next soul adventures.
This is a…

Idha socati pecca socati;
pāpakārī ubhayattha socati.
So socati so vihaññati,
disvā kammakiliṭṭhamattano.
The evil-doer grieves here and hereafter;
one grieves in both the worlds.
One laments and is afflicted,
recollecting one’s own impure deeds.

From March 5 to March 28, communication planet Mercury is retrograde in Water sign Pisces.
People communicate through their emotions. Impressions are strong, but not always clearly conveyed. If there are miscommunications, wait out the Mercury retrograde cycle to discuss it.
Apply the usual Mercury retrograde precautions such as allowing extra time for travel, driving slowly and carefully, and backing up important technology files.
March 6 is a new Moon in Pisces. The new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Neptune are all in Pisces. This planetary stellium can inspire dreams and ideas about new goals. People are guided by their emotions, and have increased sensitivity to their surroundings. You can succeed by following your hunches, and being receptive to the feelings of others. Some dreams can become reality as Mars in Taurus trines Saturn in Capricorn, bringing inspirational concepts down to…

This is a pretty perfect card for today when you consider everything that is happening right now. Mercury, at 29° Pisces, retrogrades today through the 28th, Uranus, at 29° Aries, moves into Taurus tomorrow, and Chiron is at 0° Aries. We have some huge endings going on, ready to bring forth new beginnings.
When we look at the Judgement card, we typically see souls rising up, as an angel blows a trumpet. Important life moments are taking place now; your judgment at this point is critical. What are you being called to do? Answering a calling and making such choices very often lead one to a rebirth. Mercury will be leaving shadow on April 16, then entering Aries on the 17th. You will have clarity then and an understanding of this phase and why you were called upon for this judgment to be made.
See you here tomorrow!

To the ardent meditating brahmin,
All one’s doubts then vanish since one understands
Each thing along with its cause.
