A message from Pamela:
Embrace New Beginnings with the February New Moon 🌑 This February New Moon is a precious window for new beginnings. As they say, "everything in life is timing!"
Looking ahead, March 2025 brings a multitude of powerful astrological shifts -
A Total Lunar Eclipse March 13-14
A Partial Solar eclipse March 29
Saturn entering Pisces for the first time since June 1995 (just hours after the Solar eclipse),
Venus and Mercury both retrograde in Pisces in March
This powerful combination of transits promises dramatic and transformative changes, as Venus, Mercury, and Saturn together rule six of the twelve signs and houses in the horoscope. Pisces rising individuals may feel these shifts more intensely, especially with a such a high concentration of planets in Pisces by the end of March along with the eclipse.
With all these planetary transitions and convergences, March and April promise to be like astrology's version of Miss Piggy's wild ride—dramatic, intense, and absolutely transformative!
Now, back to the present—let's explore what makes this New Moon in Shatabhishak so potent for your personal new beginnings…
February's New Moon offers a calm before the storm, allowing us to plant seeds for new beginnings before these major shifts take place. Now is the perfect time to book your personalized reading to understand how these transitions will influence you. Let's map out your cosmic strategy together!
Keep looking up! Pamela
