Pisces events involving the sun, moon or other planets generate much more sensitivity and compassion in people but also the extremes of feeling that lead to escapism, addiction, seclusion.

Illusion, delusion, confusion are also strongly activated by the combination of Pisces and it’s paired planet Neptune.

Both the planet Neptune and the related sign Pisces are prominent is March 2016.

Piscean and Neptunian influenced people can be among the most religious, in extreme cases the devotion leads to a cult of adoration centred around a charismatic figure onto whom godlike qualities are projected. Religious fundamentalism is another path – one followed by those who emphasise the notions of purity and purification to a level that requires punishment, repression, even annihilation of those who fail to adhere.

Pisces people are the most likely to be deceived – or to deceive others and many will either fall prey to being conned or to defraud others -so watch out for cheats, frauds & thieves when Pisces is strong.

Pisces is in polarity with Virgo and recent months have seen many unable to zone out into Pisces mode because of too much work -a situation triggered by Jupiter in Virgo. The effect is again very strong this month.

The Pisces state of mind is the opposite of the Virgo state - Pisces sees the bigger picture, the interconnectedness and the spiritual flow between all beings, all things. Virgo is the analytical mind that sorts into categories, classifications, systems and functions. This is intended to attain efficiency and perfection, neatness, tidiness, orderliness -but Virgo can get so caught up in fine, hair-splitting detail that the meaning is lost. Pisces needs a bit more balance in order to step out of the chaos of the Whole picture. 

Balance is always a theme when two polar signs arise together.

In this new millennium there are many indicators of the return of religious fundamentalism and this energy is emphasised in the time frame of the March 2016 total solar eclipse New Moon in Pisces.

Eclipse energy has a much wider window of effect than the usual monthly Moon events. 

Building energy can be triggered even weeks in advance of the exact conjunction of the eclipse Sun & Moon and the themes exist in their potential activation state during at least the 6 month period until the next eclipse period.

Why is this eclipse so potent?

Multiple energies will leapfrog and synergise in a chain reaction effect. This eclipse carries along with it many other planetary forces in a tight range of connectivity.

Powerfully built eclipse formations such as this occur in the context of world events with mass impact.

March 2016 has two eclipses

March 9 total solar in Pisces

March 23 lunar at the full moon in Aries-Libra

The month overall has energies likely to manifest through the following themes -some but not all will occur in your location, some will have global implications.
People born March, June, September, December of any year are most likely to experience effects carrying one or more of the Pisces-Virgo, Aries Libra themes :

• Extreme, fluctuating, volatile and contrasting conditions
• Big winners, big losers in financial/economic/business contexts
• Environmental/climate/weather extremes
• Structural earth stresses – seismic and volcanic
• Structural collapse – in any context
• Economic consequences as a result of stalled growth
• Global markets, economic indicators show extremes
• Restrictions, mass layoffs and slumps in the job market
• Destructive, anarchic human extremism driven by repressive ideologies, fundamentalist or purist religious dogma
• Further hardening of political response to migrants, foreign nationals.
• Further indicators of unpredictable unprecedented political events
• Travel advisories or alerts, travel restrictions, problems or cancellations

The Aries-Libra eclipse late in March 2016 has more financial/economic effects –with big losses in some sectors, big gains in others, consequences for employment, mass job losses

War and Peace =Mars and Venus energies are also on the table. More aggressive activity, more efforts at peacemaking, co-operation, building rather than destroying relationships.

March 26  follows the March 23 eclipse with a quartet of energies in the 16-17 degree range:

Jupiter-Saturn-Venus-Pluto.

This means Venus is the target of 3 planets that are determined to engage

Venus is money, love/relationships, peace.

Jupiter is an expanding and beneficial bringer of abundance

Saturn is a contracting and restrictive bringer of losses

Pluto is a challenging, sometimes cruel force that can destroy so that the new can be born

So overall there are more difficulties, more people encountering the suffering aspects re relationships, money and harmonious balance –versus maybe the 1% who always gain when the majority fall over – as is well known in the stock and share markets of the world and when housing values collapse – so this late March eclipse may be a significant crisis indicator for the world economy.

In addition starting from this late March period the Saturn-Jupiter stress could be a risky than usual time for overseas or foreign travel - the eclipse influence can extend this risk period for 6 months from March - and April-May 2016 could see a major aviation tragedy.

Eclipses - how do they work?

The fundamental significance of eclipses is that they have the power to amplify whatever forces are operating in the time frame, in addition to the basic consequences of the sun and moon working in tandem.

The result is that eclipses are known as signposts or markers of significant global events

How are patterns identified?

The mathematics are always the first clue.

The geometric mathematics of astrology range from simple angles such as 90 or 180 degrees through to much more unusual divisions of the 360 degree circle. All these different angles have signature effects.

But what makes a pattern easier to spot is when multiple planets occupy a narrow range of degree positions.

The eclipse for March 9 2016 has a tight grouping in the range 16-22 degrees.

Saturn-Pluto-Uranus-Jupiter-Sun-Moon at 16-17-18-19 degrees are all tightly connected to each other

Chiron at 20 degrees closely conjuncts Sun+Moon

The lunar nodal axis at 22 degrees links Sun-Moon-Jupiter-Chiron.

March 19 another bomb attack in Turkey

Many significant fires also clustered around the eclipse. This was not due to Pisces energy but due to the connected planets Pluto-Uranus-Jupiter - with Uranus being in the fire sign Aries -all forms of aggression were amplified by Pluto combining with Jupiter channelled through Uranus= sudden fire in elemental form, sudden aggression in people.

March 20 in the building period of the Aries-Libra lunar eclipse multiple deaths from a bus accident in Spain -all were female students. This event reflects the travel warning due to Saturn square Jupiter. All forms of transport are vulnerable in this period - land, sea, air
March 20 - car goes off pier into sea -Northern Ireland multiple deaths
March 20 Egg sized hail in China -reflects the extreme weather indicator in the astrology forecast

March 22 terror attacks in central Brussels, capital of Belgium. Two main transport hubs affected -the international airport and a central metro train station.
Multiple deaths and injuries. Twin blasts were activated around 8am local time, with a third around an hour later. Islamic state claimed responsibility. Suspects on camera wheeling trolleys into the airport. Updates
Lunar events are known to coincide with extreme behaviour and the March 23 eclipse, as forecast in report, stimulated aggressive activity, while the ideological extremism stimulated under the early March eclipse remains in effect. No surprise that transport networks -as warned here - were targeted.

Neptune, Sun in Pisces, Saturn Square Jupiter

A couple of indicators written in the stars early in 2016 are worth noting:
Though every year Neptune and the Sun will be in exact conjunction on one day, the energy of Neptune strengthened in 2012 and continued in the years 2013, 2014, 2015, and again in 2016 will be conjunct the Sun while in Pisces.
This effect will continue once annually until early 2025, with most of the Sun-Neptune in Pisces conjunctions occurring in March -starting from March 4 2018.
Pisces is the zodiac sign carrying the themes related to Neptune in the earthly, solar system & universal total environment so when these two carrier energies merge there is an accentuation of all things related to water.
 Though floods, heavy rainfall will occur under a range of Neptune and Pisces situations, the alignment of Neptune with the Sun when both are in Pisces is a recurrent reliable indicator that some form of deluge or flooding is to be anticipated.

In 2016 the end of February is indicated - with 28th-29th easily being a starting point for diverse and significant global water events.
The bigger pattern involves what other planets are doing at that time.
At the end of February, leading into March 2016 the lineup is as follows:
Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, Mercury
the planets occupy the degree positions in sequence:
16, 17,18, 19, 20
This means that 5 planets will operate in a domino effect, the energy conjoining and leapfrogging, all the while growing and amplifying.
Environmental outcomes involving natural forces are the most likely observable conditions arising.
Search global news late February-early March 2016 will bring reports such as:

Updates:
Feb 26 forecast hits the spot:

Rain and flooding events have been reported but most interesting so far:
Spectacularly massive surf and swells at Waimea Bay Hawaii closed some roads and beaches but made for an incredible Big Wave surf event. Two giant sea swells had moved through the Hawaiian Islands.
Surfers were quick to document this.

Large sea swells/high surf were also recorded on Australia's east coast and US west coast -this confirms a significant theme of the Sun-Neptune event.
Noting as well that there was no amplifying lunar event in effect -last full moon being Feb 22 and next New Moon not till March 9. Both of these lunar phases pull the tides to higher and lower extremes compared to normal. 
The other big influence is proximity of the lunar orbit to earth = perigee which also raises tides versus apogee which lowers tides. In Feb 2016 perigee was Feb 11, apogee was Feb 27 -so at the time when the sea level ought to be lowest, these big swells occurred. It has to be the Sun-Neptune effect.

But people and their inner world are not immune.
An intense, highly sensitized effect from Sun-Neptune in Pisces will impact those particularly born late February, late May, late August, late November -any year.
Adding in the 5 planet dominoes - can raise the mental/emotional stress levels.
Here the water arises as copious tears.
Toxic/addictive substances are a higher risk for people in general at this time: alcohol, drugs, pharmaceuticals, poisonous plants or foods

Those most targetted can expect challenging experiences.

update:
this posted exchange on Feb 29 about the death of a high profile person,  is indicative

Other experiences of Neptune at the end of Feb may easily have occurred in terms of sleep-time experiences -vivid almost hallucinatory dreams/nightmares

Saturn-Jupiter in March 2016 
When Saturn in Sagittarius is at 90 degrees right angle to Jupiter in Virgo expect lots of job losses, mass layoffs.
The early warning signs of this started emerging as early as mid February 2016 in New Zealand -the latest example:
February 25: longstanding Australian tech retailer sheds around 400 staff in New Zealand

 and: the Australian chain has announced the same in Australia -losing thousands of jobs. The greed of modern capitalism is the cause according to original founder Dick Smith.
and:

The late March exact Saturn-Jupiter effect will not abate quickly: the degree of momentum behind this curtailing energy - as already forecast in China and World economy forecast - this is a blatant indicator of the world economy in crisis.
Expect February, March, April, May, June 2016 to set in place conditions that cause shudders through the global employment statistics, with layoffs announced in many sectors.
