Rosie, thank you for pointing out the strong astrological energies. Another important factor is that Mars has been traveling retrograde (from our perspective) in Leo (fire sign, leadership, grandstanding, drama) for 10 or so weeks. Just 2 days ago, he again began forward motion
It's a bit like a sling-shot, or tsunami. A lot of pent-up emotion and energy is now being released. There will be a new moon on the 15th. The 3 days prior to a new moon (rebirth... this one at 26 Pisces) are a potent time period to meditate on what you want to manifest. Also at 26 Pisces will be mercury and uranus
It will be a VERY interesting few days as we lead in to the first day of spring, when the Sun passes into Aries. Lots of fire energy - inspiring and incendiary.
