Lunations and Long-term Aspects

This month the New Moon on the 15th occurs in Pisces, your 6th House of work, health, service, and pets, so look for something new in one of those areas.  There are several planets accompanying the Sun/Moon for this event, including a nearly exact conjunction between Mercury and Uranus which is only about a degree away from the New Moon.  This will undoubtedly influence the lunation's flavor by providing news or information that is entirely unexpected and possibly disruptive.  Jupiter is in Pisces as well, lending his expansive effect and possibly making the entire effect more pervasive.  Saturn is opposing the New Moon quartet from his retrograde position in Libra.  If your birthday is within a day or so of September 22 or 23 your Natal Sun will be conjunct Saturn, giving it even more punch for you.  Saturn isn't typically deemed a "friendly" though his influence usually turns out to be positive in the long-haul, unless he's in his Mr. Karma mode.  His function is to instill more discipline and responsibility though his retrograde cycles usually bring delays and various frustrations as we learn the lessons he has for us. 

Nonetheless, Saturn is exalted in Libra where his structuring ability and discipline meet your sign's balance and fairness, which are usually a very good combination.  Bottom line is that whatever comes along with regard to your job or health is going to affect you personally and require restructuring of something in one of those venues.  Once possibility is that you have a health scare that motivates you to finally clean up your diet and get on a fitness program.

Mars is in Leo where he will be out of retrograde by the time the New Moon occurs.  This is your 11th House of friends, group associations, hopes, wishes and goals.  While retrograde Mars was reminding you of some unresolved issue in this part of your life and now that he's in direct motion again it's time to get it taken care of.  Mars is making some favorable aspects that indicate you'll be able to harness his energy to take care of whatever else may be coming your way, which will probably involve your friends or perhaps a new commitment to pursuing one of your long-term goals.

The Full Moon on March 29 occurs in your Sign and will impact those of you with birthdays within a day or so of October 2nd.  Mars is still helping you gain momentum in that restructuring effort, even if it's only in your unconscious.  In other words, when Saturn is retrograde, his work is largely done beyond your conscious mind, stirring up those things that require attention, though they only come to the surface so you can act on them after he goes direct, which will be the end of May.  Your Sign Ruler, Venus, is in Aries, where she doesn't function too well, and she indicates there may be a conflict of sorts between you and someone of the opposite sex or perhaps a conflict between someone you're close to or even a new love interest  and your group of friends.  If romance is something on your mind these days, you are likely to enjoy a few fantasies during this time which you should enjoy without mistaking them for reality.

A Full Moon typically indicates a culmination or sometime the closure of one phase and shift to another.  Due to Pluto's somewhat wide involvement with the Sun and Moon, there may be a lingering issue at home that will require attention.  This could be just about anything from the need to clean out the garage or attic to addressing a more serious issue related to your home environment such as repairing something you weren't aware was a problem whether it relates to your physical home or someone in it.

Short-term and Daily Aspects

March 1:  As Mercury enters Pisces, your 6th House of work, health and pets, news or information on the job which is likely to come from a male colleague will require an adjustment or course change of some sort.

March 2:  Whatever is going on in the workplace or with your health is going to rumble around in you mind, perhaps at the unconscious level, and push you toward making some changes.

March 3:  Something unexpected is likely and will once more relate to your work or health.  It may involve a female or money and is highly likely to necessitate a few more adjustments on your part.

March 4:  News or information related to that home issue is coming your way, perhaps through a conversation that motivates you to check something out.

March 7:  Your Sign Ruler, Venus, goes into your polar sign, Aries, which bodes well for your relationships, even though Aries isn't exactly her favorite sign.  Upon her arrival she connects in a friendly trine with Mars in your House of friends, perhaps bringing someone within your casual acquaintances into a closer relationship, which may or may not be of the romantic nature.  Also watch for significant news or information with regard to your work, including any personal projects or volunteer work, as well as your health.

March 9:  Give some thought today toward your responsibilities regarding someone close to you.

March 10:  Mars comes out of retrograde today, signaling it's time to start taking care of some unresolved issue or something you should have done a long time ago but didn't.

March 11:  A conflict, perhaps only within your mind, is likely to get your attention today which will involve someone close to you and something from your past.

March 14:  Expect more news on the job, or possibly just clarification with regard to what came out the other day.

March 15:  New Moon in Pisces as described above.

March 17:  Something unexpected and potentially disruptive will arise at work, with your health, or a service project.  Mercury goes into Aries and promptly trines Mars, bringing news your way that relates to an organization, your friends, or perhaps one of your long-term goals.

March 18:  A conversation with someone close to you will relate to something you need to restructure in your life at a personal level.

March 20:  The Sun goes into Aries today, your polar sign which represents your close relationships, bringing emphasis to that part of your life.  Expect more thoughts of someone or something from your past.

March 21:  Someone close to you will provide some motivation for you to get moving on your goals.  It's also a favorable time to get together with friends and associates.  This can be a very productive time that will also relate to that restructuring you need to do.

March 22:  More motivation to "git 'r' dun" is out there, so put it to work.  Even if it's not an overly pleasant task, you'll have what it takes to get started on it today.

March 25:  That issue related to your home environment  will be at the forefront today. 

March 29:  Full Moon today as described above.

March 31:  A course change or adjustment related to someone close to you will surface.  Inspiration is out there to help find a solution.  Venus enters Taurus, which bodes well for interesting experiences that will have a lasting effect on you in the coming month.
