Dateline March 9, 2024: For those of you who are now enjoying the Astrology Cosmic Kalendar App one day at a time – but who have not yet subscribed to be able to look several weeks into the future – here is the calendar entry for a very significant date Sunday March 10 and the day after. Because every day – beyond the current 24 hours that we define as one rotation of our celestial orb on its axis – has astro-zodiacal magic, mystery and wonder is why thousands of people around the world have been tuning into the Astrological Cosmic Kalendar for the last 42 years and since it was at the heart-center of our Welcome to Planet Earth pioneering astrology newspaper/magazine during the 1980s and 1990s.
The Pisces New Moon – which arrives at 1:02am PST (5:02am EDT) on Sunday March 10 – represents a super-charged energy-field that will dominate the psychic atmosphere of humanity and Mother Earth during the next 2 weeks until the Aries-Libra Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse (known as an Appulse or Penumbral Lunar Eclipse) arrives on the scene on Monday March 25. At this Pisces New Moon, all the traditional themes of the twelfth sign of the zodiac will be present and your job as an enlightened earthling is to take the best of these deeply-transformational archetypes and turn them into soul-uplifting vibrations that reshape the direction of our beloved home planet for the Highest Good.
In addition, inside this feature see the World Map of solar, lunar and planetary rising/setting above/below lines for this Pisces New Moon as well as the horoscope calculated for Washington, D.C.
When looking at the horoscope calculated for Washington, D.C., note the following very important planetary placements.
The big celestial news at this monthly New Moon is that Uranus at 19+ degrees of Taurus is still united with the USA Vesta placement. This has been occurring for many weeks and Uranus was just exactly on our Vesta on March 6 & 8 (for the third time since May and December 2023). Uranus has an 84-year cycle through the zodiac and the last time Uranus was on our nation’s Vesta placement was in 1939-1940 at the start of World War II.
Important: When the New Moon occurs in our nation’s capital, Uranus at 19+ Taurus is exactly on the IC or 4th house cusp, a powerline in any chart, and signifying our homeland, ancestral roots and the foundations of the country.
The asteroid Vesta at 24+ degrees of Gemini is now exactly on the Uranus zodiac placement when it was discovered by William Herschel in Bath, England on March 13, 1781. The State of Israel, founded on May 14, 1948, also has Uranus at 24+ degrees of Gemini. Vesta just halted its reversal in the heavens to move into direct motion on the USA Mars at 22 degrees Gemini on February 8. Stationary planets wield what we might refer to as Superpowers that can be certainly utilized for the enormous benefit of humanity and Mother Earth. Regarding the potency of Vesta, look over this list of its major themes – safety and security, home and hearth, insurance coverage and rates, investment planning, sisterhood and fellowship gatherings, stoves and chimneys, first-aid, clandestine, occult or secret organizations (i.e. FBI, CIA, NSA, Freemasons, Sororities, Fraternities), the Eternal Flame of ancient temples and memorials.
More about this Pisces New Moon: The Rising Degree in Washington, D.C. is 27+ degrees of Capricorn – the precise placement of the USA Pluto from July 4, 1776 and Pluto has just returned in our national chart in 2022 - 2023 for the first time in 246 to 247 years. This Pisces New Moon chart calculated for Washington, D.C. focuses attention on the big and crucial decisions that our political leaders and the Supreme Court are embroiled with in our nation’s capital. Remember that Pluto (which is rising within a few degrees of the Ascendant) is the planet that rules the underworld (along with its many themes of secrecy, mystery, divine willpower, wealth, buried treasure, death-rebirth, metamorphosis, and all kinds of extremes as it is 3 billion miles away from Earth and the Sun) and when Pluto is activated large-scale and hard-to-decipher events are likely to happen affecting the entire nation and our relationship with many countries around the world. Notice as well that 5 celestial bodies in Pisces (Saturn, the Moon & Sun, Neptune & Mercury) are energizing the second house – representing the current strain on our nation’s financial resources and what the priorities should be in terms of spending in the 2024 budget.
Important Note about Pallas Athena, the Total Solar Eclipse at 20 degrees of Aries on April 8, Chiron Returning for the USA, Jupiter uniting with Uranus & The Nuclear Axis: The powerful asteroid Pallas Athena (knowledge-wisdom, problem-solving, strategic thinking, brilliant ideas and inventions, the daughter archetype especially associated with the Jupiter Father theme) is currently at 8 degrees of Sagittarius and igniting the USA very close natal square between stationary Ceres at 8 degrees of Pisces and Uranus at 8 degrees of Gemini. Pallas Athena will stop to go into reverse for several months on March 29 at 8+ Sagittarius. This potent asteroid is in the Nuclear Axis now (a zone between around 7 and 14 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius that I discovered in 1982 and wrote about in our Welcome to Planet Earth astrology journal). Transiting Pallas Athena will remain in The Nuclear Axis into April when The Total Solar Eclipse occurs at 19+ degrees of Aries (exactly conjunct Chiron) on April 8 and while Mercury is in reverse in Aries from April 1 to April 25. Plus, Jupiter and Uranus merge in Taurus on April 20 -21. These two major planets last made a conjunction three times in Aries and Pisces 2010-2011. The Jupiter-Uranus union will be when Chiron at 20+ degrees of Aries makes its first exact return to its natal placement for the USA since it did so 5 times between 1973 and 1975 (the time-period when President Nixon resigned due to Watergate and his Vice President Gerald Ford took over the presidency until January 1977 when Jimmy Carter was inaugurated). Chiron will also return in the USA chart on November 7 (two days after the national elections) and then again on February 18, 2025 (about a month after the next Presidential Inauguration on January 20, 2025).

Cosmic Kalendar Entries for Sunday March 10 and Monday March 11 (Times listed are in PST and then PDT after 2:00am PST on Sunday.)
Sunday March 10 The New Moon clocks in at (1:02am PST) energizing 21 degrees of Pisces. Every solar-lunar union begins a 29.5-day cycle of the two celestial lights and the fundamental theme is to make forward progress with the Sun-sign in focus. With the Moon in Pisces forming a supportive 60-degree sextile alliance with Uranus in Taurus (12:24am PST) and the lunar orb moving on to make its monthly conjunction with dream-enhancer and Imagineer Neptune (12:47pm PDT), the higher spiritual wavelengths of mutable-water Pisces are front and center. Reaching out a helping hand to dear ones in true need and strengthening your daily meditation and affirmations are advised. Be aware that the Moon-Neptune merger begins a void zone that concludes when the lunar orb enters fiery Aries (5:20pm). Pluto’s connection with divine will, purpose and power is reinforced during the void cycle as Mercury in Aries forms a supportive, 60-degree sextile alliance with Pluto in Aquarius (3:22pm). Then after the Moon is in cardinal-fire Aries, it contacts Pluto by the same auspicious aspect (7:40pm). Finally, the Moon and Mercury embrace in leadership-savvy Aries (8:16pm) and provide a notable boost for combining your feelings and thoughts into a dynamic duo. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time starting at 2am Local Time in those places observing it. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
Please pardon the interruption, but this is Katya Lerner, Mark Lerner's daughter. I have had the pleasure of connecting with many of you over recent years and appreciate your kind support. Please join me and take a moment to wish my dad, Mark Lerner, a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, March 10th!
Monday March 11 Following a lot of frenetic heavenly sky cycles and the potent Pisces New Moon reminding you to energize important ventures and plans that have a spiritual component to them, the universe is in a more calm and mellow mood. While some emotional tensions can manifest as the Moon in Aries squares maternal-nurturing Ceres in Capricorn (10:45am), a trio of upbeat alignments are up for grabs. Venus enters Pisces (2:52pm) in a cycle lasting until April 4. The goddess of love and romance has always been said to be exalted in the dreamy, super-sensitive last sign of the zodiac. From the standpoint of utilizing the element of fire for fulfilling your higher destiny and actualizing your inner Shaman-Mentor-Guide, the Moon in Aries forms its monthly unions with the Mean North Lunar Node (8:34pm) and then the lunar orb moving on to commune with Chiron (9:43pm). The cosmic scene is far more active with alignments on Tuesday and be ready to wisely handle a 13+ hour void twilight zone as the Moon lingers at the tail end of Aries before entering earthy Taurus – the sign of the Moon’s exaltation. [Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.]
