The Shape Of Things: March's Aries New Moon

A man’s country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle; and patriotism is loyalty to that principle. George William Curtis

Socrates said he was not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world. Plutarch

He who has an art has everywhere a part. Romanian Proverb

I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, or to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family. Albert Einstein

He worked like hell in the country so he could live in the city, where he worked like hell so he could live in the country. Don Marquis

This has been a particularly Uranian time that we've been experiencing for some months. The energy has been electric, confused, pushy and yet slow, somehow organised and then somehow deranged, and, generally, all over the shop (especially so with Mars retrograde in Virgo since January 25).

Uranus has been in high focus for quite a long time and its energy can have people not sleeping, being able to rest, make decisions that will stick, or, there can be the feeling of being an alien in a strange land with nowhere to dock. I know that many are feeling this. Uranus is like a big pair of metal bolt cutters - it can be very decisive and yet somehow cruel in action as it cuts through the crap to the core of things on the one hand, and, glances off the surface of things in its rather uncommitted and uncaring way. Confused? Many would answer yes. Sure of the future? Many will say no. One thing is for sure, we are being asked to determine our place in the scheme of things - how do you, or others, fit in? How do you see your cameo, or outline, what would you write up about yourself?

In between goals is a thing called life, that has to be lived and enjoyed. Sid Caesar

Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success. Harry Emerson Fosdick

The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that’s where it’s at. Jesse Owens

When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you. Lao-Tzu

The difference between a hero and an also-ran is the guy who hangs on for one last gasp. Paul Dietzel

Of all human powers operating on the affairs of mankind, none is greater than that of competition. Henry Clay

Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly.Taste the relish to be found in competition – in having put forth the best within you. Henry J. Kaiser

March's Virgo full Moon occurs on March 8. The Sabian Symbol is Virgo 19: A Swimming Race. This Symbol speaks of being in the 'race' or being outside of it. Being competitive, or letting others take the lead without contest, of the need to be in the lead versus not wanting to dive from the starting blocks.
