Now we're finally in daylight saving time and spring is just over a week away.
A lot of personal energy is focused in the spiritual sign of Pisces right now, with the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Chironand Mars all accompanying Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. That's 7 heavenly bodies in Pisces. Since February 23 Mercury has been retrograde traveling backwards in Pisces, connecting closely with these personal planets. It's been an important time to reconsider our personal spiritual paths.
In the broader picture of spirituality in our material world, the Pope resigning has been getting a lot of attention in the news, of course. This seemingly sudden transformation of a figurehead of such a long reigning institution puts the Church front and center. The transfer of power and all the baggage that the Church has accumulated has many people reconsidering what exactly the Catholic Church, and religion, symbolizes and represents in our current society and how dogma and spiritual ideals are in tune, or out of tune, with humanity today. The process of choosing the next Pope as well as figuring out how to go forward with all its scandals fits well with this Mercury retrograde period. A slightly clearer understanding and direction will start to reveal itself after the 17th, when Mercury begins moving direct again. Remember though, Pisces does bring delusion and the fog can hang thick. "Some have said the Pope's resignation signifies the end of the age of Pisces. "
Jupiter, signifying religious institutions, is also in difficult position to Mercury retrograde in Pisces now. It will be interesting to see what kind of challenges, twist, turns and revelations come forward as the world's largest religious institution gets a new leader. Difficult decisions and reconsideration may lead to eventual transformation, but with this astrological turning point keeping the forbidden things shrouded in mystery and hidden behind the veil is the more likely path forward. The transformation of the institution itself is important, but more importantly are the personal choices the general population makes about how they relate to spirituality now, regardless of which religious beliefs on does, or does not, ascribe to.
With the Sun in Pisces though, the fog may lift in some of our lives, but we will have to be honest about how we approach our personal spiritual paths. The bridge between our everyday lives in the material world and spirituality isn't clear now. Much of this lack of clarity has to do with the battle between right and wrong according to so many different systems of belief that put pressure on us to conform to what we are told to believe.
Finding new ways that don't depend on the hard coded dogma of an institution will likely resonate with us more than ever now. We are growing up.

Jupiter asks us to see the truth through challenging the status quo now. It is important to realize now that the truth is not monopolized by a formal institution to be accessed by you only through a mediator. The truth is within you. Your heart knows. Unfortunately, knowing the truth is present within the creation of the universe itself is often forgotten.
