March's New Moon: A Man Successfully Expressing Himself in Two Worlds at Once

I've been trying for some time to develop a lifestyle that doesn't require my presence. Gary Trudeau

Each of us lives in two realms, the "within" and the "without".Martin Luther King Jr

I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 bowling balls. Kirstie Alley

The new Moon in March falls on March 26 in the United States and March 27 in Australia. The Sabian Symbol for this new Moon is fabulous and rich and contains a lot of promise, diversity and possibilities as it's on Aries 7: A Man Successfully Expressing Himself in Two Worlds at Once.

This new Moon shows the necessity, during these very interesting and testing times, of being adaptable, moving with the times, taking on new information as it arises and being able to focus our energies on the things that are rewarding or necessary, or, perhaps, dealing with the things that just get in the way of what we need to be doing.

A Man Successfully Expressing Himself in Two Worlds at Once shows someone having the ability to be versatile and adaptable. When operating in 'Two Worlds', one's life may seem divided, with divergent responsibilities, needs and urges. But this image implies that this person is 'Successfully Expressing Himself', which shows that this is a time when it is possible, or necessary, to integrate or successful deal with separate or diverse areas of life.

The Value of Love, Compassion, Goals and Teamwork: March's Virgo Full Moon

Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
Vince Lombardi

One man can be a crucial ingredient on a team, but one cannot make a team.

Life begins when you get out of the grandstand into the game.

The Full Moon falls on March 10 in the United States and March 11 in Australia. The Sabian Symbol is Virgo 21: A Girl's Basketball Team. This degree talks about people teaming up; banding together and working together for a common goal. There's the give and take and taking turns in playing one's role; sometimes you're on the edges of the court and other times you're the star shooter going for the objective to score. In an organized team with rules to follow, everyone has their place and needs to work together. A disorganized arrangement just won't cut it nor will being all over the place or merely working alone.

Of course, we can work alone, but we need our support systems, our teams, our friends and family, those we can count on. Here "A Girl’s Basketball Team" is pictured. They may be lighthearted about their game, enjoying the fun, the friendship, and the sportsmanship. Whether this is a professional or amateur game, there is a need to cooperate with others and to play by the rules to achieve the "Team’s" goals. Some on the team may take the outcome very seriously, like it's a 'life and death' situation. Playing the game to the best of their ability is necessary, as they will be judged by the others in the team, their coach and those on the sidelines. Popularity is often a factor, with some being star players and trendsetters and others merely making up the numbers, there to close the gaps and pass the ball. We all play our part, that's what being human is about; sharing and caring and having a sense of belonging. 

Retracing Our Steps: Venus Retrograde! The Prescription? Invite the Brownies

Venus favors the bold. Ovid

When archaeologists discover the missing arms of Venus de Milo, they will find she was wearing boxing gloves.  John Barrymore

At worst, a house unkempt cannot be so distressing as a life unlived. Rose Macaulay

Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled; the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day. Simone de Beauvoir

To the man who himself strives earnestly, God also lends a helping hand. Aeschylus

We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another. Luciano de Crescenzo

For the elemental creatures go about my table to and fro. William Butler Yeats

Happening only every 18 months or so, Venus is going retrograde on March 6, 2009. Venus will station (seemingly stop) at 15 Aries 27 and retrograde (seeming to go backwards) until April 17 when she turns direct on the last degree of Pisces - Pisces 30. This backwards movement of 16 degrees feels extremely meaningful as the myth of Venus has her born out of the sea, which fits the cusp of Pisces and Aries, the place that Venus crosses over in her retrograde journey.
