New Moon of March 6, 2019

The new moon comes on March 6th at 11:05 AM EST. Sun and Moon are at 15 degrees Pisces, conjunct Neptune at 16 degrees Pisces, (intercepted in NYC) in the 10th house, and square Jupiter in the 6th house. This is a remarkable configuration, denoting waves of anxiety, and confusion related to matters in Government. Sun rules the 3rd house ruling the media.
Mercury, ruler of the Ascendent in Gemini, has just turned retrograde at 29 degrees Pisces in the 10th house, also square Jupiter in the 6th confirming the confusion that will happen. Also Mercury turning retrograde just before going into Aries, says this is nothing new.
What IS new, however, is Uranus just entered Taurus. Uranus will be in Taurus until May, 2026. The last time it was in Taurus was from July, 1934 to May 1942, a period of rising totalitarianism and outbreak of World War II. Uranus in Taurus could also bring about large scale economic reforms.
It is interesting to note the situation in Britain at this juncture of confusion and hesitation.
Financially, for the east coast, because Moon is the ruler of the 2nd house, this month will bring several changes. For two weeks, at least until the full moon, the watchword will be caution. Big expectations could backfire, although there is reason for hope nonetheless.
This new moon marks the 2nd Chinese month, the month of Fire Rabbit. Seen against the year sign, Earth Pig, this month is good, and productive. This will be a good month to get work done.
