Back in December, I was channeling the 2022 year ahead reading, and when I tuned into the energy for March - for this moment right now - I thought of the Greek goddess Artemis. I wondered then: “Where is Artemis - the asteroid - this month? I’ll have to look when I write the astro notes for March.”
And here we are, at the final astro note for March.
I pull up my software, type asteroid #105 - the asteroid named Artemis - and lo and behold: On this full moon, the asteroid Artemis is perfectly conjunct the sun.
They are both at twenty-seven degrees Pisces, exactly opposite the Virgo full moon.
☆
As I see this, I think: Wait? Isn’t there a NASA program named Artemis?
I quickly google “NASA Artemis,” click on the Wikipedia page, and read:
“The Artemis program is a United States-led international human spaceflight program. Its primary goal is to return humans to the Moon, specifically the lunar south pole, by 2025. If successful, it will include the first crewed lunar landing mission since Apollo 17 in 1972, the last lunar flight of the Apollo program…First Flight: Artemis 1, May 2022.”
2022…that is this year, but it’s scheduled for May, not March.
Hmm…I get curious.
I look at the schedule history and see that in December 2021 (when I was channeling the year ahead reading), Artemis 1 was scheduled to launch on March 12, 2022. Then, in January, it was pushed to March 20, 2022. Then, just last month, it got pushed to May.
I knew nothing about this scheduled launch - the first of its kind in decades - until right now when I sat to channel this note for you, and when I returned to the year ahead reading to see the exact language I’d used about Artemis then, I was struck by the opening line for March. What I channeled then - a song - coursing through my mind: SKY ROCKETS IN FLIGHT. AFTERNOON DELIGHT.
The rocket was supposed to launch this month…but now, it’s been delayed.
But wait, wait, then I read:
“As of February 2022, Artemis 1 is expected to launch no earlier than May 2022 with roll out of the rocket in March. About two weeks after roll out, a wet dress rehearsal will be done to verify that the rocket is ready to launch.”
So Artemis 1 isn’t flying this month, but on March 17th - in the energy of this Virgo full moon - Artemis 1 is being rolled onto the launch pad, fueled, and prepped. Getting ready to launch sometime soon.

It’s not launch time, but it’s almost time.
Time to test every system, make sure everything is in its right place and ready.
“To the moon!” I hear in my mind, in my husband’s voice. In my memory now, he’s referencing a subreddit meme around certain financial investments taking off, shooting to the moon. This mantra - “to the moon!” - became popular during the GameStop short squeeze of 2021.
For those who aren’t familiar:
In January 2021, a bunch of people on Reddit decided to go all in on buying GameStop stock. At the time, GameStop was being shorted by hedge funds and established financial institutions, which means that The Establishment was basically betting that GameStop stock would go down and looking to make money on its decreased value. But because of all of these random people on Reddit, GameStop stock ended up skyrocketing.
Lots of regular folks made huge amounts of money while established institutions lost huge amounts of money. “Wall Street” started freaking out. It tried shutting down trading on GameStop (and effectively did stop trading for periods of time), which led people to file suit claiming market manipulation. It was a whole thing.
The gist being: the status quo was turned on its head. There was a tug of war of sorts between The Man and The People.
As I remind myself now about the details of this short squeeze, I see that after its January run, it peaked again during the energy of the Virgo full moon.
GameStop stock was shooting to the moon (as they say) from February 24 - March 10, 2021.
The Virgo full moon time was from February 26 - March 10.
The stock started falling again after trading was halted on the 10th, but then rose yet again on March 25th.
March 25, 2021. That is the third time in the last few days that I have been reminded of that date.
The first time was when I dreamt about a dream I had had last year. I looked up the dream in my journal and saw that it was from March 25, 2021.
The next day, I was at the doctor’s for a regular check up, and when he asked me the date of my Covid vaccinations, I checked my calendar. My first shot was March 25, 2021.
As I saw the date and told him, I had the sense that something would happen again this year around March 25th, and now, here I am again, being reminded of March 25th.
What will happen in the lingering light of this full moon?
The equinox arrives on March 20th just as the asteroid Porta Coeli (known as the Gateway to Heaven) crosses the Hyades - a.k.a. the great V for Victory in the sky.
The equinox is a time of balance - equally light and dark - what happens next?
In the northern hemisphere, there is AN EXPANSION OF LIGHT.
The shifting of mostly dark to mostly light (and the inverse in the southern hemisphere).
While last year’s Virgo full moon brought a reversal of fortune with the GameStop squeeze, this year’s Virgo full moon is primed for yet another reversal of fortune.
But this time, in an even bigger way.
☆
This year, the Hindu festival of Holi is being celebrated on the Virgo full moon.
Holi - otherwise known as the Festival of Love, of Color, of Spring - is a time when amongst other things, fortunes are reversed.
In India, during Holi and only on Holi, “license is given for the usual rankings of caste, gender, status, and age to be reversed.”
In addition to reversing these social classifications, Holi celebrates the reversal of light and dark, specifically the triumph of good over evil and the beginning of a joyful spring harvest. What was toxic and unyielding is replaced by what is joyful and fruitful.
In these respects, Holi is reminiscent of the ancient Roman festival of Saturnalia - a celebratory time when slaves wore crowns and those they typically served poured them wine and tended to them as if they were all equally free.
At the heart of Saturnalia is the idea of returning to a Golden Age in which traditional social norms are overturned, everyone is free, and in short, there is a “freeing of souls into immortality.”
In their own way, each of these festivals temporarily brings forth a new world order.
Where the immortal, divine nature of every being is honored and the illusive hierarchies of humanity crumble.
It is ours if we want it. If we only choose it every day.
A victory of light!

When I sat to channel this note, the image at the top actually came before the words below it.
Typically, I channel the words and then create the image, but this note called for the reverse.
The image came first.
I’d already pulled the chart for the moon, and I knew Artemis was key, that she was on the sun, and that honoring her in some way in the image made sense. While I knew some of her symbols - an owl, a bow and arrow, a deer - I wondered if she was associated with any flowers.
Yes, she is.
Artemis is associated with the amaranth flower, which comes from the Greek amárantos, meaning unfading, for amaranth flowers do not wither and fade. Even after death, they retain their bright reddish-purple hue, and for this reason, they’ve long been associated with immortality.
They were even described by Milton in Paradise Lost as having been “remov’d from Heav’n.”
And this is what first greeted me when I sat to channel this note. Not the image of a single flower, but a field of immortal flowers spreading across the earth in the light of the full moon.
But as the image formed before me, I couldn’t help but notice that it was split in half.
Like The Great Divide we face this year.
But as I look at the image now, I see something else.
I see a rocket rising from the field of immortal flowers, rising up towards the moon, towards the golden sky, above the field that’s not yet plowed.
I see the magic spreading.
What do you see?

Artemis was the goddess of the hunt and moon, born before her twin brother Apollo.
Of course, the first missions to the moon were under the Apollo program, sending men to the moon first.
But the Artemis program brings a reversal of this.
Named after the goddess instead of the god and aiming to send the first woman to the moon.
And Artemis? Her aim is always true.
Wherever she aims her arrow, it lands.
She never misses her target.
On this full moon, we are all given this gift of accuracy.
When you aim from the ether, from the heart of your soul, your arrow will land on Earth, manifesting your soul’s desire.
This full moon is a time for immortal flowers plucked from heaven and planted on Earth.
It’s a time of granting your soul’s wish.
Reflect back on the period from approximately September 6 - 19, 2021.
That was the Virgo new moon time that planted the seeds for this full moon now.
What did you want then?
What do you want now?
It is evolving.
You are being given it piece by piece.
One wish woven into the next.
This full moon connects to the Virgo new moon from September and it also connects to the Pisces new moon time we just experienced from March 2nd until now.
Everything that you have been working towards this month, everything you’ve been planting is preparing to bloom, to launch.
“Now, we take off. Now, we fly.”
I wrote those words for the Pisces new moon leading to this LAUNCH moon, but remember, the Pisces new moon wasn’t just leading to now. It initiated a six month cycle that’s leading us to the harvest moon on September 10, 2022.
This full moon’s energy stretches from September 2021 to September 2022.
From Harvest to Harvest.
This is a period of FERTILE SOIL.
All of these points in time are connected, and all of this is building upon the foundation that was laid in 2020.
This full moon falls in the same place as the Virgo new moon on September 17, 2020. And that new moon? It was also in the same place as the asteroid Artemis! The sun and moon and Artemis were all conjunct in Virgo then. YOUR AIM WAS TRUE. Whatever you started then, it was the right step. It was the laying of the foundation that you are building now.
Reflect back on the time from approximately September 17 - September 30, 2020. What did you initiate? What did you desire?
This whole period right now now in 2022 is a great big HARVEST PREPARATION.
What are we preparing to harvest?
“A GREAT ENERGY UNDERNEATH OUR FEET.
It’s moving. It’s progressing. And soon, it will have completely traversed the entire earth.
By May, the energy will have COVERED THE SURFACE (beneath our feet, beneath the crust).”
☆
The rocket is currently scheduled to take off in May.
But for now, we get ready, and in the midst of our preparations, we experience a PROMISING REVERSAL OF FORTUNE.
What was also channeled in December for now:
“Something big has shifted at this point in society. What has happened? Something very, very tangible. I’m hearing clearly now: NEW SHIFT. BLESSINGS. God is in the Garden.”
GOD IS IN THE GARDEN.
Where are you?
Where are we?
On one side of the sphere is a blooming field of amaranth flowers.
On the other side is golden opportunity as the energy spreads beneath the surface,
encircling the globe,
where the immortal, divine nature of every being is honored and the illusive hierarchies of humanity crumble.
The amaranth flower - because of its unfading beauty - has long been a symbol of hope.
And I hear a chorus of voices singing, a mantra of hope and innovation, a spell to deliver abundance not just to a few but to the many:
To the moon! To the moon! To the moon!

Want your name on board the rocket when it finally takes off? You can sign up for your boarding pass here, and your name will be added to a flash drive that will then be flown to the moon on Artemis 1.
☆
Long story short:
This full moon marks a major reversal of fortune, a big shift in society that has been woven through time. This shift is connected to a massive expansion of light and the hope of traveling somewhere new. Together, we sing, we chant, we call forth THIS NEW GOLDEN AGE of discovery, of love, of color, of spring. A harvest awaits. Now, your aim is true. Trust the desire in your heart. The desire in your soul. Let it speed forth, granting a wish for yourself that is really a wish for us all. From one it grows. From two it multiplies. From the many, it is unstoppable.
