On Speaking for the Gods

We have decided to add a rule to our [Guidelines] regarding acting as a prophet for the gods, as we’ve been noticing increasing issues with using their oracles as manipulation tactics towards other . Because of this, we have established some rules about speaking for the gods, which are as follows:

1. Do not send unsolicited oracles to other .

2. Do not dictate another member’s relationship with their god/s.

3. Do not act or claim to be all-knowing in regards to the deity. Any oracles should be made clear that it is based upon the seer’s own interpretation, and others may have different experiences with the deity.

Here is a PSA about the new rule.

Flagging Changes

[This was mentioned in last month’s bulletin, but has not been incorporated into Amino yet. Please be aware that leadership still only sees flags marked as “Spam,” “Off Topic,” and “Bullying” -- the rest go to Team Amino for now.]

Team Amino will soon be adjusting the way flags are distributed. In the past, only specific flag categories would go to leaders. Soon, all types of flags will go directly to us. This means we will be able to help with a wider variety of issues, and handle flags much more efficiently than before. Our flagging PSA will be updated soon with more info on these changes!

March 2020 Major Planetary Transits by Jaina

March 4th- Mercury  retrogrades from pisces back into Aquarius

March 5th- Venus enters Taurus

March 9th- Full Moon in Virgo

March 10th- Mercury stations Direct in Aquarius

March 16th- Mercury enters Pisces

March 20th- Sun enters Aries; Astrology new year and March Equinox

March 22nd- Saturn Enters Aquarius

March 24th- New moon in Aries

March 30th- Mars enters Aquarius

This year so far has been a tough one for the stars due to the heavy Saturn and Pluto energy we are feeling, Depending on your placements, this month may be an extra rough month for you. Hold on tight and be prepared for the lessons that will be coming your way. Try to take the bad events in stride and think “What is this teaching me?” instead of “why is this happening to me?” because ultimately, these are meant to help those who are open to the messages evolve on a soul level and get them to the  next point in their life as a better person.

March 4th already happened, but as you know from the last forecast, mercury has been retrograde in Pisces for quite some time causing miscommunication, confusion, trouble focusing, procrastination, and all sorts of issues. Since the retrogrades make the planet look like it is moving backwards, it is now in the sign of Aquarius which is here to teach you lessons on learning the difference between originality and eccentricity. You may be feeling like people aren’t understanding what you are trying to say to them, like your feelings are falling on deaf ears and that you are a hard pill to swallow. Mercury in Aquarius is about learning to stand out but not overstep and to work on your relationships with others. Have you found yourself getting into more arguments lately? This is asking you to take a step back and learn that your voice may not be the only one in the room. Let others hold the spotlight, be gracious and learn to collaborate with others.

On March 5th, Venus enters Taurus and this is good because Venus is at home in Taurus. This is a comfortable place for the luxurious Venus and you may feel the need for more pleasure and comfort. Feel a connection with life and relaxation. However, do not over indulge or shirk your responsibilities too much. This placement will give you the urge to want to cancel your plans and stay in. Cravings for fatty or rich foods as well as overspending can happen, just make sure to keep your health and your wallet in mind!

March 9th is the full moon in Virgo! Most people generally do well with full moon energy but this full moon will be calling upon you to focus on the smaller picture. Usually during full moons it is great to set your intentions and wish for big things to happen, buit with the placement of the moon and it being in Virgo, this is a time to look at improving the little things in your life. This is important because Virgo is the sign that works on improvement of daily tasks. This is a time to do some deep cleaning of your home, work on implementing a daily routine that will help you, and focus on your health. Work on breaking down your big goals into smaller goals. Put one foot in front of the other. Sometimes we need to maintain the little things before over extending ourselves on big projects.

March 10th, Mercury finally goes direct in the sign of Aquarius. We should feel a boost in productivity and original thinking again. Feel the weight lift off of your shoulders for a bit. It being in Aquarius may cause you to want to challenge rules around you, some rules were made to be broken, but be careful you don’t challenge the wrong ones.

March 16th, Mercury moves back into the sign of Pisces so we may find ourselves being more sentimental and romantic and flowery with our communications. This is tough since Pisces is naturally ruled by the foggy Neptune so during this time, try not to fall prey to the procrastination and daydreaming that comes along with this placement. Its easy to get lost in our heads during this time and crave isolation. Try not to be overly sensitive during this time.

March 20th, The equinox! This is an exciting and energy fueled day because this marks the sun moving into Aries and the beginning of the new astrological year. The Astro calendar begins with Aries and this is the sign of leadership and doing the thing! This is a headstrong placement so you may feel yourself charging forward with new plans and ideas, the excitement may cause you to be a bit abrasive so pay mind to those around you and we just worked on how we communicate with others during the full moon in Virgo. Aries is about ME and NOW and your may feel like working on yourself during this time or doing something that benefits you. This is a time for new beginnings. Take this energy and use it wisely.

March 22nd, Saturn enters Aquarius. This…. Might be a very rough transit for a lot of you millennial.

If you were born anywhere from February 6th 1991-January 8th 1994 (Excluding May 20th, 1993-June 29th, 1993 Saturn was in Pisces), OR January 3rd 1962- March 23rd 1964, OR September 16 1964-December 15th 1964.  your natal Saturn is in the sign of Aquarius. That means that for a brief period this year from March 22nd until July 1st. This will be the beginning of your Saturn Return. This is the cycle that happens once every 27-28ish years and spends around 2 and half years in a sign. During this time you will go through a MAJOR milestone in your life. (Quarter life crisis, midlife crisis) Saturn is the planet of restriction and hard lessons, so during this time you will be entering a cycle of achievement and maturity. You will encounter delays, frustrations, and pressures. Something major might happen. It will affect you all differently depending on what house Saturn is in your natal chart. So 4th house family issues, 2nd house, financial issues etc etc. Some of you may experience some sort of loss with Saturn being conjunct Pluto right now.  Luckily for us, we will get a break in July since Saturn will retrograde back to Capricorn and we will get a breather. However, in December is when the planet goes back into Aquarius and it will stay there until 2023. This will most likely be when ish really hits the fan. I want you to know that you are strong, you can get through this, you were meant to get through this. Yes, you may come out battered on the other side but you will have survived and will have learned a hard lesson because of it. I would take this time to research what to expect for your own personal Saturn return so you can know what to be aware of and what lessons to focus on.

March 24th New Moon in Aries. This day is probably the best day of the day to start something new. New moons are about planting the seeds that you want to manifest and aries is about action. Start that new project! You need to understand that this sign is not about planning, it is about doing. Dont spend a lot of time over thinking, just put your plans that you have been putting off into action!

March 30th Mars enters Aquarius. During this time your energies may be expressed in unique and original ways. Above everything else you will be cherishing freedom and the idea of being untamed and unbound during this time.

That is it for this month’s forecast. Hopefully I didn’t scare y’all too much and you take this as a moment to gather yourself and release unwanted energy. Those going through your saturn return, I wish you luck and I will be going through it with you as well. Stay strong and , this month is about working with others. Learn to think outside of yourself.

Khaleesi’s Tarot Reading:

Month ahead spread with The Good Tarot Deck by Colette Baron-Reid

Hey everyone! Khaleesi here with a month ahead spread with The Good Tarot deck. It's important to note that for this deck, there are no reversed card meanings, which is something I like about this deck. This reading has three major arcana cards and two cards from the fire suit (the elements replace - wand, cup, sword and pentacle from the traditional Rider deck) and fire represents ion, ambition and motivation. This is a great time to finally get that thing you have been wanting to do off the ground and make it a reality!

Card 1: the challenge for this month, 7 of fire = there's struggles with reaching your personal best - so start small and grow from there. Resist the temptation to resist challenges for fear of failure - because failure is an ability to grow and learn from experience. Do not compromise what is most important to you, as this will lead to perseverance during difficult times

Card 2: positive energies to embrace, 10 of fire = release no longer serves you, endings will clear runway for new beginnings. You may also be taking on more than you can handle, echoed in card one. The takeaway message of this is to make sure you have time for you to do what you want to do.

Card 3: negative energies I need to negotiate, Empress = you may have a lack of creativity right now, but a shift in your mindset may help to overcome this blockage. Maybe you need to try a new approach or way of doing something that may lead to greater potential in areas of your life.

Card 4: what to make time for, star = inspiration, embrace new beginnings and have a positive mindset. This is easier said than done but when you allow yourself to have gratitude in difficult situations, it shifts your mindset away from negativity.

Card 5: opportunity to seize, magician = that your intent is your greatest gift of all. Your faith in yourself is so important, and it can accomplish much more than we sometime think we are capable of. While there are of course limitations, just know that you are a magickal, powerful and wonderful person! Now go out there and do that thing!
