New Moon in Pisces
Monday, March 15, 2:01 pm PDT, 5:01 pm EDT
 The New Moon in sensitive Pisces is usually dominated by feelings that feed imagination and spur spiritual inclinations. This one, though, is intellectually enriched by conjunctions with cerebral Mercury and inventive Uranus. Nervous energy may be high and minds could suddenly shift directions, but compassionate and creatively original thinking can lead the way to major breakthroughs in awareness. Still, communicating unconventional ideas so that they make sense to others might be difficult. Simplifying concepts could be necessary to bring them down to earth where they can help change the world.
Mercury in Aries
Wednesday,March 17, 9:12 am PDT, 12:12 pm EDT
Fast thinking and fresh perceptions are also triggered by brainy Mercury’s entry into pioneering Aries. Dealing with routine matters can become difficult as minds race ahead to explore unfamiliar territory. Words tend to pop out of mouths without consideration for their impact on others, making it prudent to slow down and think carefully when emotions heat up to avoid igniting an argument.
Sun in Aries
Saturday,March 20, 10:33 am PDT, 1:33 pm EDT
The astrological year begins with the Sun’s entry into fiery Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. A spirit of initiative and self-reliance usually grows on this first day of spring as we shuck off doubt and plunge into new projects. However, we may face obstacles when the Aries Sun opposes restrictive Saturn on the 21st and forms a stressful square with squeezing Pluto on the 25th. After that it’s off to races, especially since Aries’ ruling planet Mars finally turned direct on March 10.
Full Moon in Libra
Monday, March 29, 7:27 pm PDT, 10:27 pm EDT
The Full Moon in accommodating Libra tends to cool off the heat of the impulsive Sun in Aries. It’s a time of negotiating between common needs (Libra) and individual desires (Aries). Yet this lunation is squared by passionate Pluto, which can bring relationship issues to a boil. Deep changes may be needed to restore trust with a partner or for single people who need to recognize the price to pay to alter their situation. Honesty is essential, requiring a deep dive into oneself to expose hidden motivations and gently share the truth with others.
Venus in Taurus
Wednesday,March 31, 10:35 am PDT, 1:35 pm EDT
Vivacious Venus’ entry into her earthy home sign Taurus awakens the senses. Pleasure grows when we breathe in the sweet smells of nature and good food. Tender touch and soothing sounds invite a peaceful state of grace and contentment. Stubbornness and self-indulgence could be barriers, though, to opening hearts to new experiences and hinder growth in relationships, making flexibility essential to maintain balance.
Mercury in Taurus
Friday, April 2, 6:06 am PDT, 9:06 am EDT
Minds slow down with Mercury in Taurus, making thinking more solid and practical. A tendency to view things as they are, rather than as we’d like them to be, rewards us with common. This can be especially helpful when dealing with financial matters but could hamper creativity. There’s a critical difference between keeping it real and closing the door to imagination.
Pluto Retrograde
Tuesday, April 6
Potent Pluto's backward turn is a subtle shift that makes the effect of this obscure planet even more difficult to decipher. It does, though, help lead us to the depths of ourselves to explore the complex issues of power and desire. Digging within during this 5-month retrograde cycle may reveal wounds that may be painful to revisit but which can initiate a significant process of healing and transformation.
Saturn in Virgo
Wednesday, April 7, 11:48 am PDT, 2:48 pm EDT
The planet of order returns for a last visit to analytical Virgo to tie up loose ends before reentering Libra on July 21. This is an excellent opportunity to refine skills and complete lingering tasks. Awareness of personal flaws may increase yet focus on what can be fixed and where improvements can be made rather than where you fall short of perfection.
This New Moon in Pisces is electrified by conjunctions with Mercury and Uranus. Shocking news may shake the world in ways both wonderful and weird. This lunation, though, is rife with originality that can poke holes in the logic that shapes reality. Yes, it can be strange but it may also be the key to solving puzzles that seem to have no solutions. Make time to explore out of the box ideas because you will probably find at least one gem among them.
Have a great month!
