''One swallow does not make a spring.'' Keep on tight dear friends and enemies, the last weeks of winter slip away with catalyzing star aspects leading towards the Solar Eclipse. Through many folklore traditions winter is a time of introspection, letting go, rotting, death, and decay, of gathering energy for the Spring. Even though in some areas, the first heralds of Spring are already blooming, Nature reminds us with her skeletal visage of naked branches that Life is yet to fully sprout and burst forth, not all snow has melted, and not all of the birds have flown back. Eerie, liminal, and a truly fitting atmosphere for the month of the sign of Pisces, the sign who most of all, dances on the boundaries between worlds, between Life and Death, embrace the time to let go of what need to go, before heading into a new cycle, with Spring and the Sun entering Aries.

Today, we have a square aspect between Venus and Uranus (March 3, 2024, 1:17 pm GMT), squares often bring difficulties, delays, and strains, how they manifest can be read by the signs and planets involved, and the ''where'' is determined by the houses it occurs in your chart. This diabolical square can bring unexpected expenses, especially related to technology and devices, the other side of the coin of this aspect is unexpected income, again depending on how it falls in your chart. Relationships are also in the terrain of this aspect and planets, again expect the unexpected, this is a time of change, situations that are wake-up calls, of breaking points, and beginnings of new relations. Focusing on the future and more humanitarian, innovative topics can get you on the good side of this transit, holding on to the past and things that have no strong foundations will be shaken up, let alone by Uranus and Venus, but also some other aspects.

While this square is happening Venus is conjunct Pluto, and Chiron conjunct the North Node ( Reached word limit, see you next post )

Last weekend, Heidi and I went on a sojourn to Erie for a date day and were thrilled to discover a BUNCH of shops that were already WELL stocked with spooky goodness. It is our happy place, for sure. The sweating, not so much!

Wanting to do something with my newest character Celeste the Witch and her familiar Jackie, I was initially going to draw her in several poses but it evolved into her demonstrating her creativity through her magic.  She likes to use her magic broom as an artistic tool, often as a giant paintbrush as shown here though she also can shrink it down to a pencil or stylus pen.  I had a lot of fun with these piece, especially designing the various ideas that appear in Celeste's brush strokes.  In a way, I see her embodying my sense of creativity, always imagining new things that I need to manifest in visual form.  

As always, comments and critiques are welcome.
