IYAR 5781: Lighting the way to soul-healing
This is the month we count the Omer, repairing and building up inner soul characteristics which generates a Divine healing light hinted at by another name for Chodesh Iyar:
Ziv, lustrous brightness. Ahead are abrupt illuminations and life-altering realizations that, once acknowledged and integrated, are conduits of soul-healing.

As Iyarâs Tribal ruler Issachar practiced discerning wisdom around understanding the times, so we must practice deliberate choice in where we aim the supersized surplus of accumulated aggressive, controlling energy. Resist the temptation to blow off steam at whatever moves. Mars trines Jupiter and Mercury /
Marty Rochesterâs March 24 opinion piece, âOy vey: The excesses of identity politics,â cries out for rebuttal on a number of fronts. Since Iâm having trouble deciding whether I am, in Rochesterâs words, a âgarden-variety liberalâ or a âleft-wing extremist,â Iâll let other more astute readers…
Nisan 5781
March 14-April 11, 2021
The Hebrew month of Nisan is “the beginning of months,” one of the Bible’s several new years and a new start couldn’t come at a better time after a long, wearisome year. Though this Mars/Ma’adim
–ruled month begins just after sundown March 13,
Tekufah Nisan, the Spring Equinox, arrives March 20. During that liminal, in-between week, many planetary events occur, setting the stage for the profound possibilities of resetting ourselves on various levels.
Mercury/Kochav enters Pisces/Dagim March 15, helping us to read unspoken truths between the lines. Sun and Venus/Noga sextile Pluto March 16-18 supports the use of personal power for the common good, and Mars sextiles Chiron, the wounded healer, on March 17, empowering bold truth-telling to release toxic secrets. A brave yet unstable new world is glimpsed as Mercury sextiles unstable Uranus/Oron and Venus enters courageous Aries/Taleh at the last quarter moon in Gemini/T’omim March
Adar 5781
Feb. 13-March 13, 2021
Though the month of Adar is associated with Pisces/Dagim, because of the fluctuations of the 19-year Metonic cycle to which the Hebrew calendar is synced, the Feb. 11 new moon of Adar is in Aquarius/D’li. This adds an electrified air of instability, which is both exciting and scary during the month traditionally associated with masks and merriment. Just as we are not living in normal times, this is not a normal Adar.
There will be three squares of conservative Saturn/Shabbatai in revolutionary Aquarius to radical Uranus/Oron in traditional Taurus/Shor during 2021. The first one occurs March 17. The conflict between these disparate energies can produce competing value systems and strategic alignments between strange bedfellows. Adar’s classical ruler, Jupiter/Tzedek, in Aquarius and her modern ruler, Uranus, in Taurus illustrates the Purim-like upside-down-ness of the tensions between security and freedom, tradition and innovation, cautiousness
