Ah the wisdom of my fellow bi-polar brother, Steven Fry, nailing the upcoming astrology (probably) without knowing it! One thing that I find so fascinating about not only March but really the next year or so is just how we've got probably the biggest "bipolar" transition in the Zodiac---from dreamy, transcendental, cosmic Pisces into boots-on-the-ground, immanent, individualistic Aries and back again---playing out in all sorts of ways. The last few days of March it's like the planets are playing musical chairs across the Pisces/Aries divide.
As a result, it's fascinating to watch the world and how individuals are responding to these wild energies by choosing one side or the other as though the other one simply doesn't exist. If ever there was a period to embrace the paradoxical wisdom of Both/And All The Time, it's now!
Having said all of that, sometimes I wonder if my experiences with "BryPolar," not to mention my various wanderings in psychedelic states, have made it easier for me to recognize the Both/And-ness of Reality and not get stuck in one extreme or the other, at least not for too long.
I'm doing my best to both bring my best foot forward and show up in a way that can allow me to share any wisdom I've gained in 52 years in an accessible way and also stay in compassion and understanding that some of these things I may be taking for granted aren't things others have (yet) experienced.
Despite the fact that some astrological content creators fall prey to the pressures of the algorithms to turn every astrological event into the Second Coming, well, for a month, at least, I'll forgive that tendency because it's hard to overstate just how profound the March 2025 astrology is---I've been eyeing it for four years now and here we are! Strap in, have some fun, lift up those who are struggling and keep your head up as best as you can---which can also mean taking a BIG break away from all of this stuff and just enjoying some of your favorite music, movies, etc. (always a favorite Pisces Season activity for me!).
Great points. What has also worked well for me for taking a break is more physical tasks (Pisces is my 6th house, from Libra Rising). My local community service club has a lot going on these days, so walking around town to put up flyers for an event of theirs has been grounding.
Good idea and great use of your chat for the details of what to do. Pisces is in my 9th, so my breaks have been deeper dives into things like astrology that give me a Longer Viewer and a Bigger Picture. I’m SO grateful to the steps that led me to the temple of astrology in 2019 and compelled me to enter, with a candle, of course, and a sense of exploration and a willingness to find worthy, ecclectic guides. And with my MC at 29.30 Pisces, it’s all leading to turning this exploration more public and into my “third adulthood” career.
I didn't quite have a chill run down my spine but almost when I read that JFK, JFK Jr (weirdo), DT, and Elon Musk all have 17 degrees + Gemini in their charts--because I have 18 degrees Moon in Gemini, ruler of my chart and kingpin of a grand square. I did not want to be in "their" club.
I got a laugh out of "Vivi Henriette, Don’t Cut Your Hair: Notes On Venus Retrograde" because I just had a marvelous Day of Beauty--hair cut and color, first manicure and pedicure in about 10 years--and all was perfect. In fact, I've received so many compliments. I was aware of the Venus retro advice against cutting hair, but in that I've been thinking about doing all of these things for a long, long time, it seemed perfect timing. Perhaps not to mention Venus makes a trine to my ASC for now.
Many other financial affairs are coming to positive conclusions. Lest we forget that the retrogrades--and actually all aspects--seem to augur beneficial energies as well.
My main beauty-related activity this Venus Retrograde so far was getting a pair of shoes on clearance from Xero Shoes — they turned out great, and my only complaint is that I didn't buy a second pair. Maybe the Venus Retro component had more to do with the shoes being put on clearance for whatever reason on Xero's end than with my own enjoyment of them.
Re: Gemini placements, my only Gemini placement is Chiron in the neighborhood of 20° Gemini, so engaging with the charts of the people you mentioned. It's in the 9th house, and it has played out for me in having a family divided over politics and religion. They tend to take extreme positions, some far right and some far left. What I have observed being stuck in the middle of all that is that what you resist persists — the more you fixate on the evils of a political enemy, the stronger they become.
There's a lot for me to still learn about Chiron. Early after its discovery, naming, and then interpretation by the astrology community, I learned that he is the Wounded Healer. And also a bridge from the material to the spiritual. I was reluctant to see it as having great power compared to the planets and lights. Do you think it is pretty much as influential and powerful? Chiron in Sagit is one "corner" of the grand square, and located in my 6th house (Moon in 12th). I have always had health challenges, injuries of the spine beginning at age 5. I haven't looked it up, but we'll have the "pleasure" of seeing what happens when tJupiter hits that DT/Musk/Kennedy Jr 20 Gemini.
I'm not sure what level I put Chiron on. I suppose I take transits to/from Chiron more seriously than those of, for instance, Juno. Chiron is included in Tarot.com Daily Horoscopes, while Juno et al are not. Maybe the ambiguous status is part of the whole Chiron wound somehow.
