Lunations and Long-term Aspects

This month the New Moon on March 4th falls in fellow Water Sign, Pisces, which constitutes your 5th House of ego definition, creativity, children, romance, entertainment and speculations which should bring something new into one or more of these areas.  Various other planets are in Pisces as well for this lunation, providing additional energy in this part of your chart, i.e. Mars, your ancient ruler, Mercury and Uranus.  Mars is quite subdued in the Pisces environment which significantly douses his fiery energy.  Nonetheless, this can work well for getting started on a creative project with a strong boost of inspiration.  Mercury is in debility in Pisces where his inherent logic and ability to move is distorted much as when you view an object under water.  This, also, is not necessarily a bad thing in your house of creativity and romance, but bear in mind that logic is not going to be part of the equation.  Intuition and inspiration are powerful and useful forces but don't lose touch with reality.  Uranus has been in Pisces since 2003 so his effects have been there so long they have probably begun to feel normal.  This will change shortly when he goes into Aries, this time to stay, which will bring numerous interesting situations to your work, health and service environment.  Meanwhile, his last hurrah in Pisces can also be used toward some creative innovation.

Saturn is retrograde in Libra, your 12th House of dreams, inspiration, enlightenment, spirituality, confinement, seclusion, institutions, hidden enemies and self-undoing.  During this time Saturn will be rummaging around in your woo-woo/angels and demons house for areas which need to be restructured in some manner, though you may not know where that might be until mid-June when he resumes direct motion.  However, there will be some ties between this lunation and thus your creativity and those coming changes to this often neglected part of your life.  However, inspiration and creativity make good partners, so you can expect something favorable to come out of it sooner or later.

Your Sign Ruler, Pluto, is being squared by Jupiter over there in your 6th House of work, health and pets.  For others this might be a stressful aspect but Scorpios know how to manage Pluto's energy better than anyone else.  Besides, Pluto in your 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, siblings, neighbors and local travel gives your already sharp mental powers a considerable boost.  A square from Jupiter, the great benefic, isn't usually that difficult, anyway, and with him in your 6th this could provide some ideas on how to expand upon your current job or service activities, even though it won't necessarily be easy to do so.  If there is anything going on beneath the radar (or the covers) at work which you can exploit, you will sniff it out like a good hound on a squirrel hunt.  It may not be entirely comfortable or easy, but keep your ears to the ground and watch for it.  You may get wind of someone leaving whose job you would just love to have, giving you an opportunity to get your foot in the door early or any number of other possibilities.  Pluto is also sextile Mars, swimming along in Pisces.  This suggests an opportunity to resurrect an old idea and take action on it in a creative way or possible pursue a romantic interest you thought was dead or even do something with a child that has a life-changing effect on one or both of you.  There are numerous possibilities and since you know how to handle Pluto, you should do just fine.

The Full Moon on March 19 is in Virgo, your 11th House of friends, associates, organizations, networking and goals.  Since a Full Moon typically brings an ending, culmination or shift to a new phase, this should come about in one of these areas.  By this time Uranus and Mercury have both moved into Aries where they'll be stirring things up with regard to your work, service or health.  The Moon is opposing Uranus which suggests a possible disturbance on the job related to a friend or one of your group activities or goals.  If you have any friends or coworkers that could cause you some trouble at work, be on the lookout.  Jupiter and Mercury are both opposing Saturn, which has some rather ominous implications.  Remember that Saturn is in your 12th house which includes hidden enemies and likewise self-undoing.  Mercury and Jupiter could bring along some news or information which could cause you some trouble.  Another possibility is that you will sabotage yourself in some way, perhaps by going after that job opening mentioned earlier in a ruthless way.  Thus, watch your "six" and behavior so as not to undermine what you hope to obtain.

The Moon is quincunx Neptune, indicating a change of direction may be required with regard to your homelife which will have an emotional impact on your goals or perhaps your friends.  This doesn't look necessarily unpleasant, but it will cause some adjustments and being a Fixed Sign you don't always take to such things very well.  Venus is also in that same neighborhood which should have a very pleasant effect on your home environment.  Getting along with family members should go well and there is always the possibility it will also bring a money-making opportunity there at home.
