New Moon Energy Forecast for March 31
The second new Moon in March is at it's deepest wane Wednesday, March 31 at 11:23pm Pacific Time.
Communicative Mercury joins the Sun and Moon in sidereal Pisces just in time for the new Moon energy.
Mercury is very creative and intuitive within the watery sign of Pisces and will share these energies with the new Moon. Although Mercury in Pisces is not great for critical thinking and is a bit dreamy in this sign, especially with Jupiter as dispositor of all three planets in close proximity to nebulous Neptune now through the end of April!
At the same time as the new Moon, Mars and Saturn are ready to engage in a planetary war in Capricorn. This combination of two incompatible planetary energies is in extreme contrast from the Jupitarian ruled new Moon. These two planets will fight to the end, while the mystical, joyful and expansive energies of Neptune and Jupiter, are in conflict with the transformative, and sometimes destructive tendencies of the Mars/Saturn combination.
Balance is the key for this new Moon!

From my book, Vedic Astrology for Beginners: An Introduction to the Origins and Concepts of Jyotish
Pushan is the deity for Revati nakshatra, and he represents security on many levels. He is often depicted with cows that he shepherds through safe passage, difficult environments, and potential dangers. He has the ability to find lost items and animals, and he is also the guardian of people, by whom he is most often invoked before traveling, especially to faraway lands.

Your rising sign, and other planets in your birth chart will usually (but not 100% of the time) shift signs from your tropically calculated horoscope. Sidereal calculations are about 24 degrees (less than) different than tropical calculations.
