There is a full moon in Virgo on March 13th (or 14th, depending on your time zone), which is also a lunar eclipse, where the the sun is opposite in Pisces. On the 15th, Mercury starts its retrograde in Aries. Together this creates a reminder for us to be discerning, take our time, and make decisions out of our own best interests but without causing harm to others. How could Mercury in Aries trip us up? Our choices will backfire on us when we ignore our intuition or what we know is right for us, when we put our own needs aside in service for others but in a way that diminishes ourselves and others (aka martyrdom and passive aggressive behavior), when we rush ourselves or act out of urgency. This time is very much about how you are using your time, how you are balancing yourself with others, and whether you are using your energy in useful ways or not.
When are you putting yourself aside? Sometimes we move ourselves out of the way for positive purposes: understanding when you are not the center of the situation, keeping a healthy perspective, avoiding getting caught up in drama. But when are you putting yourself aside when you should be more involved, more centered? And why are you doing this? Virgo and Pisces can both check themselves out for different reasons. Pisces enjoys the escape from reality and Virgo needs the break from reality. Both signs can get overwhelmed by life: Pisces with the weight of universal connection and Virgo with the weight of the details of everyday living. They both see a very wide picture of what is around them: Pisces the invisible and Virgo the visible, and this can be a lot to handle or manage.
Paralysis, shutting down, getting stuck.
