March 2nd – 8th

Enthusiasm & Maturity — Forecast for March 2nd – 8th

 

This week’s headline items: Mercury is still Retrograde all week, and on Wednesday afternoon, it will be re-entering Aquarius for a brief period, while late that evening, Venus changes signs from Aries to Taurus. On Thursday morning, Mercury goes into its Station-phase again, preparing to end its 3-week Retrograde phase.

There will be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday evening (for a little over 2 hours), Friday very early morning (for a little over 2 hours), and Sunday early morning (for a little over 2.5 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s forecast, I have two quick announcements:

1) On Sunday (March 8th) at 2am, Daylight Savings Time begins in North America and Canada; from Sunday on, I will be posting all astrological alignments and movements in EDT (US-Eastern Daylight Savings Time). If you live in the UK, Europe, or Australia/New Zealand, please keep this additional one hour time difference in mind, when converting to your time zone 😉 For example, for the UK it will be 4 hours ahead instead of the usual 5 — until March 29th.

2) Last chance to register for this week’s Forecasting Forum, live on Sunday, and get the scoop on Mercury going direct, as well as the SuperMoon in Virgo (both exact on March 9th). How can you start to implement things that came up during the Mercury Retrograde phase? What are you most aware of in your relationships at this time? Where do you need to bring more more discernment to bear in your life?

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, March 2nd:

Monday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini all day. It will journey there until Tuesday late evening. Until then, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. “Busy” feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way… The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead 🙂

Monday late morning: we may experience some internal discomfort and need to make some inner adjustments. We feel nudged toward mature and cautious actions that build something durable.

Monday afternoon, at 2:57pm EST, the first Quarter Moon in a little over 12.5 degrees of Gemini becomes exact (we started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Gemini on Sunday afternoon – March 1st). The Moon in chatty, versatile Gemini makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate Pisces.

We feel compelled to take action. On Feb. 23rd, the New Moon in Pisces became exact: “Seeds” planted then are probably “sprouting” by now — and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow — and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.

As best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-15 degrees of…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-15 degrees of Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius or Virgo? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

 

Tuesday, March 3rd:

Tuesday, the Moon remains in chatty, versatile Gemini until 11:25pm EST (see Monday morning for details).

Tuesday late morning, a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect becomes exact at 11:44am EST. We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (Feb. 29th); it will remain strong until this Friday (March 6th). This aspect asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we’ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point — a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.

On the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term — what works, what doesn’t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential — in short, to determine what’s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.

We tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now — and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.

The key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of Aries, Capricorn, Libra, Cancer or 0-1 degree of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).

Tuesday at 9:20pm EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 2 hours until 11:25pm EST; this intuitive time offers an opportunity to connect with others and share yourself. What might become possible if you were to exchange information with others in the mutual pursuit of goals you both feel passionate about?

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.

Tuesday at 11:25pm EST, the Moon moves into protective, nurturing Cancer, where it will journey until Friday early morning. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days 😉

Emotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don’t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.

 

Wednesday, March 4th:

Wednesday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Tuesday late evening for details).

Wednesday morning, at 6:08am EST, Mercury re-enters freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective Aquarius, where it will journey until March 16th. Due to Mercury’s retrograde phase, Mercury journeyed through Aquarius already once before: between Jan. 16th and Feb. 3rd. Think back to that time: What did you communicate to others at that time? What came up in your dealings with others? How about with your inner dialog?

For the next 12 days, Mercury — the energy of communication — will focus once again on offering a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. However, we also tend to contradict others more quickly.

With Mercury in Aquarius, we are much quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong. We have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 12 days. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes.

Wednesday afternoon, an opportune Mercury/Venus aspect becomes exact at 4:24pm EST.  We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday on; it will be strong until Thursday evening. This aspect gives us the opportunity for more direct and unconventional connections to others.

Enhanced communication abilities help us clear up any misunderstandings or discomfort from the past, particularly in love relationships. This is also an opportune time to make new social contacts, especially with like-minded people. Remember: this is an “opportunity” — those aren’t necessarily handed to us, we have to actively take advantage of them.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius or 0-2 degree of Pisces, Taurus, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, Libra or Taurus (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)

Wednesday late evening, at 10:07pm EST, Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active Aries into steady, sensual Taurus, where she will journey until April 3rd. For the next 4 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.

“Simple and natural” is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we’d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal. 


Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. 

 

Thursday, March 5th:

Thursday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer all day (see Tuesday late evening for details).

Thursday until midnight, you still have a chance to take advantage of the EARLY BIRD SPECIAL for this week’s Forecasting Forum! For more info about this webinar and to register now, click here.

Thursday morning, Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 28/29 degrees of Aquarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Monday (March 9th) — ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until March 15th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury’s energies more strongly.

Pay attention to anything “in your face” in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows — for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, click here.

For the next 10 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere — and that goes for the journey itself, too — especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.

Be extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after March 29th, when the Shadow phase is over.

Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in the following 26-29 degrees of Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio or 0 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius.

We will also apply all of Mercury’s movements to our own birth charts in Sunday’s Forecasting Forum. If you want to know how this might be impacting you personally, feel free to join us. To register now, click here.

Also on Thursday morning, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.

Thursday late morning/early afternoon we are invited to balance our need for what’s familiar and feels comfortable against our desire to tap into a greater wisdom that helps us grow in our career goals and expand our dealings out there in the world.

Thursday evening, we may take an all-or-nothing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors… As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to empower yourself and others.

 

Friday, March 6th:

Friday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 4:27am EST (see Tuesday late evening for details).

Friday at 2:11am EST, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 2 hours until 4:27am EST. If you are awake during this intuitive time, Use it to find a balance between your emotional needs (i.e. self-care), versus your focus on long-term goals — or your reputation out there in the world.

You may experience authoritarian or rigid attitudes, both toward and from others. This could create some tension or oppositional behaviors — so, as best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care, doing your best to take care of your emotional and physical body — that way, you’ll remain able to stay grounded in reality.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday early morning ahead of time.

Friday at 4:27am EST, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Sunday morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness 🙂

So hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things… be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s definitely easier for the next two-and-a-half days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?

Friday late morning, we may feel pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a need for connecting with our inner child-energy (creative self-expressions and joy), on the other hand, we want to make space for pursuing our financial vision — and we also want to break free from outdated value systems. As such, we may have to address what we value in both in others, and in ourselves (which informs our self-worth); as best as you can, make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.

Also, Friday late morning, things flow nicely and we feel excited about new healing modalities. There’s an opportunity here to be compassionate toward ourselves and others and for connecting to our inner child. As best as you can, have fun when connecting with others, bring a healing quality to the table by tapping into your inner joy, explore things on a holistic level, and take a risk.

Saturday late morning, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What might you hear if you got really quiet?

Also, Saturday late morning, we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet? Saturday afternoon: we are invited to make some internal adjustments — we may want to have some fun, but also explore our long-term goals and accomplishments.

Saturday late evening, feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun. We are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.

 

Sunday, March 8th:

Sunday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo until 6:47am EDT (see Friday early morning for details).

Sunday at 2:00am ET, Daylight Savings time begins in North America and Canada. This means from today on, I will be posting all astrological alignments and movements in EDT. Please make sure that you adjust this for your location accordingly. For example, for the UK it will be 4 hours ahead instead of the usual 5 — until March 29th 😉

Sunday at 4:12am EDT, we enter a Moon Void of Course (VoC), that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours until 6:47am EDT. Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to communicating with others. Do your best to honor your own need for creative self-expression when connecting with like-minded people.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning ahead of time.

Sunday at 6:47am EDT, the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical Virgo, where it will journey until next week, Tuesday morning (March 10th); turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world — things and knowledge we can apply and use.

Health might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact next week, Monday afternoon – March 9th). Feel free to watch the Full Moon video here (will be posted by March 3rd)

Sunday morning, a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 18 degrees of Pisces becomes exact at 8:23am EDT. We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday (March 11th) . This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us — being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment — we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.

Feeling things — and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to “have their feelings” — is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.

When we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.

If, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what’s outside of us, we will feel separate — and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh “realities”.

What might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each “now” moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?

This is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart — not about giving up — rather, allowing “what is” to be ok, to see the perfection of “right now”.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius or Gemini? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)

Sunday afternoon, a Venus/Uranus alignment in 4 degrees of Taurus becomes exact at 3:38pm EDT. We started feeling this aspect build from this Friday evening on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (March 11th). This alignment gives us the opportunity to experiment with a new way of relating to others. Freedom plays a big part in our interactions with others.

It’s a favorable time for social meetings and events. Do something different, something unusual, with one-on-one relationships — break the routine — and as you can imagine, you might experience some unexpected interactions during this time. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: Fresh air is blowing through your relationships, or your bank account….

We are also ready to experiment with regards to financial undertakings; good energetic matches include anything involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities in general. That said, this is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive vision about something 😉

We had the same alignment (in the same degree) in the middle of last May; what did you start around then in connection with relationships or finances — and how might you move that to the next level?

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo or Aquarius? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius).

And…

A heads up for next Monday (March 9th): the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical Virgo all day (see Sunday morning March 8th for details). In the afternoon, at 1:48pm EDT, the Full Moon in Virgo, which is also a SuperMoon, becomes exact. At 11:49pm EDT, Mercury will end its 3 week retrograde phase in 28º of Aquarius, and Mercury’s post-Shadow phase begins until March 29th. More about all the details in next week’s forecast 🙂
