“I was amazed how quickly these invocations worked”

Here’s a 5-star Amazon review of my #1 best-selling book. The review is titled, “Seems too good to be true, but it works.”

“…From the first time I did [Benjamin’s invocations], my mind chatter stopped, energy came down through the top of my head and I felt a deep peace and calm.

“I’ve been on my spiritual path for many years now and was amazed how quickly these invocations worked…I have noticed a shift in my daily life of feeling much more ease and flow throughout the day.

“In addition, I’ve noticed a softening of my hip pain since using the healing invocation.

“The book is easy to read and has very clear instructions. Benjamin’s website has an abundance of information to help those who want more support. I would highly recommend giving these invocations a try.”

3/3 (Sun)

Jupiter Semi-Square Neptune

When can a minor hard aspect have a major upside? When it connects Jupiter and Neptune!

I’ll tell you its meaning in a moment. First let’s discuss the timing.

Today’s Jupiter-Neptune semi-square (11°51′ Taurus-26°51′ Pisces) was in orb (close enough to be felt) 6/27 thru 12/16 of 2023. It came back into orb this year on 1/3.

Jupiter and Neptune make their final exact semi-square today (3/3) before completing this aspect on 3/29 – nine months after they first connected.

This semi-square supports many wonderful things, including:

• Spiritual teachings.

• Religious practices focused on direct personal enlightenment.

• Deeply enhanced flow states.

• Easy access to spiritual awakening.

• Deeply enhanced divine inspiration and creative inspiration.

• Expanding your inner artistry.

• Gaining wisdom from dreams.

• Gaining deep insight from your inner wisdom.

But this conjunction also has darker possibilities. Jupiter could expand Neptune’s potential for addiction, substance abuse, or excessive escapism. Avoid aimless wandering, or martyring yourself in a relationship.

There’s expanded potential for confusion, delusion and deception, so watch out for false teachings. Reality check ideas with your inner guidance, if you can access it. Otherwise, vet them however you can, to avoid getting sucked into a compelling falsehood.

The four questions from The Work of Byron Katie are especially helpful during this semi-square:

1. Is this true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it’s true?
3. How do you react when you believe that thought? What happens?
4. Who would you be without the thought?

Can you hold all beliefs as conditional, and potentially subject to revision or replacement?

I love what another astrologer said when forecasting this conjunction: “Realism is trapped imagination.” Focus on what you want as Jupiter aspects Neptune … and this semi-square can help you make it real!

Venus Square Uranus

Intuitive hits can pop down more easily to guide your relationships, creativity, and finances as Venus squares Uranus (19°39′ Aquarius-Taurus). With Venus in Aquarius, be open to unconventional directions and solutions!

3/6 (Wed)

Mars Sextile Chiron

Wisdom sharing and trauma healing, whether you’re serving or receiving, are harmoniously energized by a Mars-Chiron sextile (17°32′ Aquarius-Aries).

Mars’ themes, including acting as a warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur, get special support. With Mars in Aquarius, stay alert for intuitive hits and unconventional approaches!

3/8 (Fri)

Committed Partnership Kite Peaks

A Kite that harmoniously supports certain committed partnerships peaks today (3/8). It started on 2/23 and ends on 4/1. It includes Ceres, Juno, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Juno, the asteroid goddess of committed partnership, sets the theme for this aspect pattern. Grain goddess Ceres adds the themes of harvest and abundance, while Jupiter contributes expansion, good luck, and joy. Saturn brings it all down to earth, helping you establish an enduring structure to support your connection.

All of this won’t be true for every relationship. If a relationship isn’t best for you both, either because healing is needed or you two shouldn’t be a couple, these planets could create challenge.

In this case, Ceres could bring up old traumas. Saturn could create obstacles that bring the relevant difficulties front and center. And Jupiter could expand all this so that you simply have to deal with it.

This is a fundamentally harmonious aspect pattern, so it will bring ease and flow where that’s appropriate. If you’re having a different relational experience, this could be a good time to examine what needs to be healed or released.

Mercury Conjunct Neptune

Intuitive clarity or brain fog? They’re both possibilities with Mercury conjunct Neptune (27°1′ Pisces).

The less connection you have with your higher self, the more likely it is that you’ll experience mental fuzziness, confusion, or even deception. The greater your embodied awakening, the more likely it is that you’ll be blessed with inspiration, clear flowing intuition, and intellectual flow.

3/9 (Sat)

Mars and the Sun Aspect Uranus

Two personal planets aspect Uranus today. We have a Mars-Uranus square (19°51′ Aquarius-Taurus) and a Sun-Uranus sextile (19°51′ Pisces-Taurus).

The Mars aspect is far more intense, and should be used with great mindfulness.

On the challenging side, this aspect can be chaotic and destabilizing. Unstable leaders are more likely to do crazy things.

Mars’ warlike tendencies can strike violently and unexpectedly. Steer clear of dangerous people and situations as much as possible.

On the high side, this aspect can energize you to act immediately on your intuitive hits. You can take ingenious, inspired action as a warrior, pioneer, sexual being, or entrepreneur. And you can boldly show the world your truest self.

Mars is in Aquarius, which radiates the same energy as Uranus. This puts major emphasis on astrology’s eleventh archetype.

You can use this electrifying energy by embracing your unique talents and serving the world with it in whatever ways most delight you. And trust the extra intuitive hits you’ll be getting. They come from your higher self, and are the most reliable guidance a human can receive!

The Sun-Uranus sextile adds flowing vitality to all this. It also adds additional opportunities because of the Sun’s placement in Pisces. These include spiritual awakening, inspired creativity, working with your dreams, and living “in the zone.” Pisces also makes it easier to experience compassion and radiate unconditional love.

3/10 (Sun)

Pisces New Moon

A New Moon aligns at 5 am EDT (20°16′ Pisces). Any Pisces New Moon is great for new beginnings in spiritual awakening practices, inspired creativity, and living in flow state. It’s also great for a fresh focus on dreamwork, compassion, and unconditional love.

Be careful not to get lured into the low expressions of Pisces. These include substance abuse, addiction, and excessive escapism, as well as aimless drifting and playing the victim.

Aspects

Uranus

This New Moon’s strongest aspect is an extremely tight Uranus sextile. This harmonious and energizing aspect can help you embody your authentic self more easily, and express it to the world where appropriate. You can also receive intuitive hits more abundantly, and more easily serve others with your favorite special talents.

This Uranus-luminaries sextile can also help you connect with your soul community, step out as a maverick, or fight for greater social equality.

Conjunctions

The Sun and Moon are bracketed by loose conjunctions.

On one side they’re conjunct Neptune, who is seven degrees later in Pisces.

Neptune and Pisces are both part of the 12th astrological archetype, and share the same meanings. So, for starters, the Neptune conjunction further empowers the Piscean potentials already mentioned.

The luminaries also conjoin Saturn, who is nine degrees earlier than them in Pisces. Saturn’s pragmatism and rock-steady work ethic can help you manage your time well, set clear goals, and accomplish them industriously. He can also help you be more mature, responsible, and disciplined.

With Saturn in Pisces and conjunct the Piscean luminaries, your Law of Attraction manifestations get a nice energy boost. This placement also supports embodied awakening, which thousands have found surprisingly quick and easy with my free Embodied Awakening Invocation.

Have something you want to release from your life? Saturn’s Piscean placement and conjunctions also support conscious dissolution.

Two More Aspects

Two New Moon aspects remain. A nearly exact semi-sextile with Aquarian Mars can help you take immediate action on your intuitive hits and strive in unconventional directions. And a Vesta square encourages you to take some time to selflessly serve a worthy cause.

3/12 (Tue)

Venus Quintile Jupiter

Magical expansion and luck are available in your relationships, artistry, and finances as Venus quintiles Jupiter (1°30′ Pisces-13°30′ Taurus). With Venus in Pisces, follow your intuitive flow. Inspired creativity gets special support!
