March, 2020: The Six of Cups

Hello everyone. Happy March! We’ve had a few rainy days in New York. Some overcast days of late. But today is sunny and bright! 

Hope your world is sunny and bright. Lots going on out there… but wishing you peace. Pisces Season ended on March 19^th and the Sun entered Aries shortly close to midnight, ET!

This is a transitional month where I am, our lovely seasons changing from winter to spring. And I drew the Six of Cups which means the transition probably won’t be abrupt. And there will be nostalgia in the air. Environments will probably be calmer and quieter than normal.

What I generally recommend throughout Pisces Season is a soft approach when it comes to dealing with others. No matter what they bring our way. We can be clear. Short, sweet, to the point. 

Back in January, I put up a boundary without being mean about it. It put me in a weird place, socially, but... this isn't an unusual predicament.

It can be done. And there’s no need to explain ourselves. However, I always apologize if there’s a possibility of hurting someone else’s feelings.

One thing Pisces Season teaches us, one by one and collectively, is that God… or the Universe… or Spirit… or Whatever We Believe In works in mysterious ways. Sometimes It gets us alone. Sometimes It brings us to our knees. Sometimes It gets us to cry a little… or sing more. Or write more. Or sleep more. Or cuddle more.

But our perseverance, our patience, our honoring what is still good and true and meaningful in our own worlds… gets us through not just Pisces Season but any time. Any trial. 

My social circle has shrunk quite a bit… but the people in my life are plenty.

Also.

Also, watery Pisces Season tends to keep some information hidden. Abyss-hidden. But I feel action-oriented, inspired Aries Season, which rings in springtime and tends to challenge some, might bring some stories and truths out in the open. And the Six of Cups, a card of trust and friendship, is showing that between-you-and-me conversations could be had this month, with new (Aries) friendships or activities developing.

I get the message, “fresh faces” (or “fresh voices”) as well. 

More importantly, there is an activity in the Six of Cups that’s worth paying attention to: the flower-arranging. Flowers are delicate, and they are used in all types of ceremonies, commemorations, etc. Thus, events are possible throughout the month of March… including those in which we remember someone. Low-key celebrations are likely… as are plans for them.

          There are feelings in the Cups cards. Emotions. In this case, they, as well as creative/artistic endeavors, may be linked to memories. Perhaps of hobbies and interests and travels and experiences of our past.

In addition, something that can be worked on is our memory. Our recollection of details. Brain games can help with this… but I’d research other possibilities (Pisces).

The color palette for this card is soft, monochromatic. Gentle on the eyes. Textures are soft, velvety, and/or smooth to the touch.

Customer service/care may be a focus. We do see an interaction here that could involve sales. (I like to think sales/customer service can be found in any job.)  But sales and counseling are big areas of focus. I’ll add maybe factory type of work… due the repetition in this card (or simply tasks that are repetitive yet not identical).

The Six of Cups may represent an understanding. A desire to know and understand the consumer (or whomever we interact with) in our day-to-day tasks is essential.

Speaking of day-to-day, we had a full moon in Virgo on Monday, March 9^th! Virgo is the sign of health and work but also tidiness, cleanliness, repair, humility, details, routines, habits, and small efforts that will make a big difference. Taking things a day at a time is recommended, and it may become ‘the new normal’ by March 24^th with the New Moon in Aries (at 5:28 AM ET).

Remember as well that Virgo is ruled by Mercury and represented by the Magician! Details are magical. Results are magical… but they take time, care, precision, strategy, a method, and focus this month. 

All month. 

Work ahead if you can. Kill two birds with one stone even! 

Or ask for assistance.

Or assist. Assistance is a big—no HUGE—word for Virgo. Some may not be in the spotlight… but they sure as hell are talented (Pisces) assistants (Virgo)! So, a spotlight/appreciation will be reserved for them behind the scenes…

Finally, try to keep the kindness going. Nurture relationships. Take care of someone or something a little. Take care of yourselves (Aries Season is here and rushing about, distractions can be inevitable). Keep in touch with those you care about. And enjoy being taken care of a bit as well—nothing wrong with it! 

Enjoy a potentially slow but gentle and kind month. Thank you so much for reading! Take care. Be safe…❤☀
