Oh my word!!!! It has just come to my attention I have forgotten about March. But rather late than never.

There is a reason I forgot, once again we can blame Mercury for our fuzziness, forgetfulness, absent mindedness and clumsiness. Mercury is in Pisces where he is at his weakest, not able to act in the way he should. Mercy is the natural ruler of our thinking, intellect, travel, communication, our messenger and writing.

When Mercury is in Pisces a water sign, it is difficult for him to communicate, to travel and see things in a logical manner. He loses his focus and finds it very challenging as he tried to blend experience with reality.

I lost my focus an many of you may have done. Forgetfulness and just a lack of concentration is common when Mercury is in Pisces. There has be a noticeable increase in motor vehicle accidents, mot of them due to daydreaming and a loss of concentration.

Mercury when out of Pisces will move into Aries on the 11^th, where from a go slow he becomes motivated to going full speed ahead as he focused on re-establishing his own identity. This we need to be aware of, as we feel the need to do our own thing and pioneer our own journey, taking others into consideration and not step on too many egos.

Mercury in Aries a cardinal fast forward fire sign just wants personal freedom to explore and try to understand how to fit in the universe, but as an individual.

You do need to be aware that communication can run away as words will come out of our mouths before we have engaged our brains. This assertion can often lead to arguments and disagreements, finding you trapped into a corner.

Mercury will slow down in the last week of March as he goes into his station before turning retrograde. Perhaps this will be a time where we can pause for thought.

As for all the other planets, dear old Saturn battles to enforce discipline and focus in Pisces. Sometime we just need to be a bit patient as we try to build our empires and dreams on a shaky foundation. Make it real and be flexible.

Jupiter the planet of expansion and luck is still in very practical grounded Taurus, where we need to hang onto our investments and not make rash decisions. Growth and expansion of wealth when Jupiter is in Taurus is about looking at a very practical solid form of investment or growth. Do not take chances of try to find a quick fix for growth with Jupiter in Taurus.

Pluto in Aquarius is still somewhat of a mystery as no Astrologer has experienced what this planet of death and transformation will bring to the collective energy. If you experience a transit of aspect from Pluto it will bring up a situation that has to end, if you have the power to end what is not longer valid, Pluto will gift you the gift of power through transformation.

Aquarius is a focused fixed air sign, social but on a larger scale than one on one like Libra. So far what I am observing is the struggle we are seeing within the collective universal energy. War, destruction and a form of social disorganization is slowly eroding the integrity of group values.

What is needed is to try our level best to understand the rules and customs of individual groups with values and beliefs that are not like ours. We can learn how as individuals in our own lives how to with understanding the needs of the group we gain the value of working within the groups rules, preserving the group’s needs.

 Groups can be any type from racial, religious, intellectual, political as well as simple within the groups of people you move or operate in. There is no individual ideal, it has to work within a collective energy.

MEDICALLY SPEAKING

As I was so forgetful…thanks to Mercury… I thought I should find something that can stimulate my brain. Turmeric came up as it contains curcumin a pretty effective antioxidant compound.

From early adulthood, brain neurons are capable of forming new connections, and in certain areas of the brain, they can multiply and increase in number. This process is called brain derived neurotrophic factor, BDNF.

Apparently studies on animals and humans have found the curcumin may help in the increase of the brain levels. This could delay certain brain and age related brain dysfunction, even depression and…forgetfulness as it is said to improve our memory function.  I will add Turmeric to my diet for sure  10 Health Benefits of Tumeric and Curcumin (healthline.com)
