Coming Up! Treasure Map Workshop. March 26th at 7pm Los Angeles & Online

 

Creating a Treasure Map for the Aries New Moon

Every year the Aries New Moon marks the beginning of the zodiac year. Astrologically speaking, it is the moment when the sky says, “Okay… what are we doing next?”

The Aries new moon (only one per year) is when we create what is called a Treasure Map. Think vision board, but with a little more intention behind it and better timing.

People who make these maps often find that many of the images they choose end up unfolding in unexpected ways over the following year in their lives in a meaningful manner.

On March 26 I’ll be at the Philosophical Research Society talking about the Aries New Moon and guiding everyone through the process of creating their own Treasure Map. We’ll talk about why this new moon is used for goal setting and how to put together a map that actually reflects what you want to move toward this year.

You do not need to know astrology to attend. Many people who come to this workshop want a chance to pause, think about their goals, and create something that reminds them where they are headed.

You can attend in person at PRS in Los Angeles or online via Zoom, so even if you are not local you can still join us.

If you have been meaning to think about what you want next but have not quite gotten around to it yet, this is a pretty good opportunity.

By the end of the evening, you will walk away excited about the new year that has probably already begun talking to you.

If you would like to join us, reserve your spot here:

Disseminating: Reflect on what has transpired this month and earlier.  What have you learned?   How can you share some of your knowledge?  What past experiences are you sharing?  Are you in the need to teach?  Or is it find a teacher?   Maybe we find a rabbi or a minister or therapist who gives us more insight.

Last Quarter Moon Phase

March 11, 2026

2:38 AM PST    

   

 

Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living “The serenity prayer” 

 

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.

 

 

Focus on:

What actions are you taking that expand your thinking?   How are you including those that ‘foreign’ as you act?  How are your actions that lean into friends and groups but also bring in

 

Planetary Notes: 

 

3/15: Mars conjunction Mercury (10 PI) A perfect day to walk your talk.  It is inspiring.

Balsamic:   We let go.  By releasing we can prepare for the new.  

 

 

Focus on:  How are you releasing group think?  How are you releasing friends and groups?  How are you releasing stuck thinking?  How are you releasing rebelliousness?  

 

 

Planetary Notes:

 

3/17: Mercury conjunction North Node (8 PI) Thoughts of kindness, humanity. Dreams that inspire.  Meaningfulness starts with thoughts. 

3/18: Venus square Jupiter (15 CA) Love of self can conflict with love of family. Where’s the middle?  What opinion is helping and not helping a situation?

Jupiter Station Direct 

15 Cancer 05

March 10, 8:29pm PST 

 

Aug 17 Jupiter entered shadow 15 Cancer 05

Nov 11 Jupiter station retrograde 25 Cancer 09 

Mar 10 Jupiter station direct 15 Cancer 05 

Jun 6   Jupiter exits shadow 25 Cancer 09  

Jun 29 Jupiter enters Leo 

 

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and whenever it goes into a sign it brings gravity.   Last June Jupiter entered Cancer.   Cancer is our nurturing, our childhood, family and our home. It is a productive time to improve our houses.   Cancer the crab survives because it has a hard protective shell.   When Jupiter is in Cancer, we are looking for fortification of our own hard shells.   We want to feel secure which for some people can be a home make over.  It is also a sentimental time, and we tap big emotions and childhood memories both good and not so good.    

 

In mid-August Jupiter crossed into its shadow then on November 11 it stationed retrograde at 25 degrees of Cancer.   Since then, we have turned inward to process some of the opinions and beliefs (Jupiter’s two favorite words) on what our emotions do for us.  We may have made choices that upon reflection after Jupiter is direct feel too big.  Perhaps too emotional.   Or we may have been quiet due to some unresolved fears or childhood debris that now we think, ‘why didn’t I say something?’   We are working out the philosophical choices of our emotions.  

 

In mundane astrology, the shadow side of Jupiter in Cancer is xenophobia and nationalism, (google Swiss quotas for fun).  This is especially true for the USA which has a Sun in Cancer.   The last polling on the immigration raids in the USA has suggested that those people who voted for large, scaled deportation are now questioning their choices.  Those people who did not vote for it are feeling very emotional.   During this Jupiter retrograde, between January 10^th and January 14^ththere were four intense aspects with Jupiter.  The world processed the killing of Renee Good (Jan 7) who was dropping her son off at school in Minneapolis and shot at point blank range by an ICE officer who then called her an effin’ bitch.   There were other stories of brutality by ICE on innocent people like USA citizen, Aliya Rahman an autistic woman with brain damage trying to get to a medical appointment thrown on the ground and held for no cause by ICE.   Then on January 17, Liam Ramos, a five-year-old boy in Minnesota was sent to an ICE facility in Texas.  His image in a knitted blue bunny cap speak volumes of retrograde Jupiter in Cancer.    The opinions around ICE raids started to spike and the support crumbled about how this was all being done.   Jupiter bringing additional opinions?   This week NHS Secretary Kristi Noem was brought before congress and was questioned about her leadership or lack of it.   Today (March 5) Noem was fired as NHS secretary and placed in a job that did not exist before today.   Today the Sun trine Jupiter.    Anyway, there is a lot to think about between now and June 6 when Jupiter leaves its shadow and then again on June 29 when it enters Leo.   By the way, that’s when things will get loud.  

 

In the meantime, consider the house in your chart where you have Cancer and consider how the big gravitational pull of Jupiter is impacting it.
