March 2024


Children of the sky

If you look up at the night sky at the beginning of February, you will discover the large, expansive constellation of Pisces in the south. It consists of a rhombic and a circular figure, both connected by a chain of stars. While one body points vertically upwards, the other moves away to the west with the course of the ecliptic, so that the observer can get the impression that both Pisces are floating in the sky in different directions.

Up, down, right or left: For Pisces, every direction seems open. Perhaps the observer of the sky also loosens his focused gaze until he loses it completely and immerses himself in the infinite ocean of stars.

Children of their season

At some point, in the time between winter and spring, nature stops, holds its breath, falls silent. It is not the rigidity of winter that comes from the cold outside, but a silence that grows from its own center. Again, as in the fall, the clouds lie low over the earth, confusing the view, and every sound is lost in indeterminacy. Pouring water mixes with freshly fallen, wet snow. Their meltwater lifts the rivers over their banks and soaks the land. Winter is over and spring is near. There is nothing to do but wait, time fills itself.

It is not resignation that touches nature and people's hearts, rather it is an awakening, a deep realization that all action, all attempts to change something, even hope, are in vain. Only a short time ago, at the time of Aquarius, nature tore at the ice, churned up the earth and streams of water sought new paths. Now it is being redeemed from all action.

Children of culture

The wild hustle and bustle of Carnival in February is followed by the contemplative period of Lent in March. People deliberately cut back on food and weaken their bodies in order to rise above them. In some monasteries, greens are eaten during this time, and in many parts of Germany people eat salads prepared from the very first herbs and plants.

On the one hand, the vitamin-rich, fresh herbs are naturally supposed to help the body through the last days of winter. On the other hand, picking and eating green plants has always been a fertility ritual: People connect with the course of nature, which will soon begin a new cycle.

The custom of picking green branches on Palm Sunday and decorating altars and crucifixes with them also has ancient, pagan roots: the Germanic tribes were already familiar with this custom and used the first green branches to protect their homes, livestock and themselves against every conceivable calamity.

Fasting was also a commandment of the times for another reason, as the storehouses were empty in February/March. At the same time, fasting was associated with purification. Even for the Romans, the "Februarius", originally the twelfth month of the official year, was a month of purification (from the Latin februare = "to atone, to cleanse"). In modern times, naturopaths and holistic doctors also recommend a cleansing and fasting cure at the beginning of March. This is because the body - like nature as a whole - is very delicate and sensitive at this time and should not be overloaded with a diet that is too high in fat.

While food intake should be restricted or even stopped completely during the fasting period, people are surprisingly tolerant of alcohol. In many monasteries, people drink wine or home-brewed beer, which is particularly high in alcohol and therefore quickly has an intoxicating effect. In Munich on the Nockherberg, a strong beer is tapped at the beginning of March, which has so much original gravity that it will lift even a person with a full stomach into the land of dreams. Do the monasteries want to reduce the agony of Lent by at least allowing people to eat "liquid bread"? Or do the monks seek a state of ecstasy and visions by drinking alcohol during Pisces? Fasting has always been a path to deeper introspection. It is therefore undeniable that the addition of alcohol during Lent can lead to particularly prophetic and visionary states.

The magical and mysterious powers inherent in Pisces can be found in various customs: For example, you should not leave the house the night before Maundy Thursday because ghosts are up to mischief. Or people stop the church bells before Easter and announce the full hours by rattling the wood. The noise is symbolic of the uproar of the forces of nature at the death of Jesus and was originally a spell to ward off demons.

And how are people who come into the world at this time? From an astrological point of view, reserved, withdrawn, shy, restrained, insecure. However, this label fits very few Pisces-born people. You are more likely to find active, self-confident, often even downright provocative types. Or what do you think of people like George Washington, Peter Fonda, Karl May, Johnny Cash, Liz Taylor, Mikhail Gorbachev, Albert Einstein, Prince Albert of Monaco? God knows it's not easy to see these people as Pisces-born. That is fundamentally the case. I have repeatedly found that people with this zodiac sign tend to try to hide their nature. This is understandable, because being a Pisces is not easy. Doesn't our world demand a strong ego, self-confidence and assertiveness? Only when you get to know these people better and they dare to reveal their Pisces side do you discover their true nature.

In the past, and probably still today under certain conditions, it is said that these people belong in a monastery, i.e. in a place where they are protected from this cruel world.

Should a person who came into the world as a fish now be encouraged to confess his true nature? Actually, only if you know that the zodiac sign is not just a character trait, but describes the whole of life. Then a Pisces really does become a special person, someone who is accompanied by the heavens. Then you can entrust yourself to life, knowing that it will take care of you.

The time of Pisces is particularly exciting this year. Not only do we have the sun in this zodiac sign, but also Saturn and Neptune. I personally think that this emphasizes and strengthens the actual power of the sign of Pisces. In turn, I find this incredibly reassuring at a time when - as some people believe - the world is on the brink of a new world war.

In this context, I would like to mention the Security Conference, which is taking place in Munich from February 16 to 18. I live almost next door to the place where the most politically important people in the world will be meeting this weekend. At the same time, Mars, Venus and Pluto will be together, i.e. in conjunction, in the zodiac sign of Aquarius. Hamas started the war against Israel in October last year. Mars and Pluto were in square to each other at the time. Now, during the security conference, Pluto and Mars form a conjunction together with Venus. Are there any clearer signs for resolving tensions peacefully?

You'll have to forgive me if I say I don't know myself. But this "coincidence" of Mars, Venus and Pluto conjunct in Aquarius at a time when the world is meeting in Munich to negotiate security is an incredible omen. It promises peace and love. It's as if someone in the heavens had determined this date

We shall see.
