The Moon, in Leo, is quincunx both Mercury (retrograde) and Venus March 1. That which is appropriate and acceptable is most likely not what we will get on this day. There are sure to be weird communications and many people craving attention while pushing away chemistry with the right people. This is one of those days when some of us will consider bad news or inappropriate behavior better than no news at all. It will be fun to see who acts foolish.
Mars in Pisces March 2 to April 9
Mars joins the north node, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Pisces. This is an overload of water in the zodiac. We are going to hear a lot about water over the next month. Storms, floods, water supplies, contamination, you name it. Action taken by Europe will be in the news as will oil and gas and the shipping industry.
Mars moving through Pisces is sure to energize Pisces to get up and get moving. Surfing anyone? However, Mars’ active nature channeled through Pisces can come out of the oven as old fashion passive-aggressive behavior. Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, and Sagittarius must channel their new-found energy wisely.
Mercury retrograde will cross over Mars on March 14 and 15. This can bring up old beefs between parties. This is probably not the time to start any sort of fight with anyone. Be sure to back up your words with truth and not hearsay. Otherwise, your cause will be a cause for other people's amusement.
The Full Moon Eclipse March 3 at 5:39 am CST in Virgo at 12 degrees.
This full Moon is the logic that opposes the emotional undercurrents that prevail. Details will clarify lies and expose the people who say, “I don’t remember”. This is a revealing time for many of us. We will be urged us to let go of outworn patterns of behavior for more efficient and healthy habits.
This full Moon/eclipse is square the first and seventh houses of the Sibley chart of the United States. We can expect bold rhetoric, and more revelations in terms of alliances and commitments. Public health, the need for work reform, and market volatility will be in the news. Leaders throughout the government will be challenged by the people.
At the same time, Venus in Pisces is 60° away from Uranus in Taurus. For us individually, this can bring sudden attractions and chance meetings. This is a good time to have fun. Do not make a long-term commitment. We will see governments try to install quick fixes, and some of us will have surprises in our shared lives. There can be a lot of innovation, especially where tech and artistic endeavors are concerned. We may see some people taking an artistic license that might be called plagiarism.
Just days after the eclipse on March 5, the Sun still in Pisces comes to trine Jupiter still retrograde in Cancer. This could alleviate some of our insecurities. We will see a light at the end of the tunnel, where stalled endeavors and desires are concerned.
Just days later, on March 8/9, Mercury retrograde is trine Jupiter in Cancer. Remember that Mercury likes to play tricks on us. Pranks play well since Jupiter is involved. By the same token, we may have explosive news that is really kind of interesting or makes us laugh at others’ hypocrisy. If you decide to travel at this time, remember Mercury is retrograde so take a carry-on, arrive at the airport early, and be sure you have all of your necessary documents.
Venus in Aries March 6-30
Right off the bat, Venus crosses the point of the Saturn/Neptune conjunction at zero Aries. This is sure to pump the accelerator on the change and rebirth that all sentient beings are feeling on the planet. This quick transit can bring some substance to our dreams and ideologies.
At the same time, on March 9 and 10, Venus will be sextile Pluto in Aquarius. Some of us will find deep love while others make empowering money moves. This is a really good time to remain grounded. You may want to go for a barefoot walk if it's warm enough outside.
Jupiter
Jupiter, retrograde in Cancer since last November 10, turns direct March 10. I think this has been a really challenging retrograde for most of us because we've been sitting on accomplishments and life goals that refuse to budge. Many of us have felt insecure regarding our safety or even insecure that the goals we desire will not manifest. Once Jupiter turns direct, the gears of progress should start to move again. It's going to take a few weeks really for the loosening to take place. The tide will turn in the direction you wish by the middle of April. Go with the flow. Don't paddle upstream.
The new Moon March 18 at 8:24 pm CDT immediately void at 28 degrees Pisces
This is an interesting full Moon. It takes place in Pisces, further contributing to our overload of feelings.
For starters, Venus now in Aries is square Jupiter in Cancer, compelling some of us to rush into deep relationships that turn out to just be codependent messes. Beware of being love bombed.
At the same time this new Moon is 60° away from Uranus. This is a collision between the touchy-feely nature of Pisces with innovative Uranus. Some of us will have flashes of intuition. Others will have clashes between reality and delusion. We can be inspired at this new Moon and have positive breakthroughs. Don't resist the changes. Go with the surprises that Uranus provides. Pay attention to your finances.
This new Moon, like the last several new moons, affects the T square between the Moon, transiting Uranus, Lilith, and Hygeia in the chart of the United States. The leadership will be challenged. We will all be making adjustments to our lifestyle to cope with the changes of the world. There will be new solutions to the needs of the people. More corrupt behavior is exposed and proven. The dark side of religion and healthcare come to light in the weeks ahead. New voices come forward to guide us. Let’s hope they are the right voices.
The weird thing about this new Moon, though, is that as it is occurring, the Moon is turning void thus toning down the power of this event. Our efforts may seem lackluster, but our intention will be sincere. Or will it? Give great thought to your new Moon wishes and dreams.
The Spring equinox March 20 at 9:46 am CDT
The Spring equinox is the 0° point of the zodiac. Saturn and Neptune just held hands at this point on February 20. This is an extra special new beginning for Spring and that promises the dissolution of archaic structures, as well as bringing substance to compassionate visions and ideologies. This is such an amazing auspicious year because of these events around the zero degree of the zodiac. All of us have a new beginning, taking place somewhere in our lives.
Hours later, at 2:33 pm CDT, Mercury in Pisces turns direct. While life begins to become easier, we are not really out of the woods until April 10.
March 21/22
Mars in Pisces is harmoniously trine Jupiter, now direct in Cancer. This is a really lucky aspect, especially for Pisces and Cancer. The things you want to get done are easy to get done at this point. Many of us feel optimistic. Our productivity is easy to achieve. However, sometimes Mars and Jupiter together, even at this positive angle, make us overly optimistic and have us biting off more than we can chew. Remember, the full Moon at the beginning of the month is in Virgo, which is detailed-oriented, analytical, and discerning. This is not the time to set yourself up for the lessons that must be learned when we are obsessive or overcommit ourselves or our resources. Rest assured someone will boast and then roast in humiliation. Discern between a great opportunity and something that is too good to be true.
Saturn In Aries Sextile Pluto In Aquarius, March 1-April 26
The sextile between these two planets is exact on March 28, but we feel it from March 1 until April 26. Saturn is structure. Pluto loves to tear things down and put them back together usually with a scorched earth approach. Saturn is accountability. Pluto is authority. We've already seen the beginning of accountability taking place with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor at the time of the Saturn Neptune conjunction February 20.
This is a harmonious angle that builds power and restructures outdated systems. Just what we need now.
The last time Saturn was sextile Pluto was between 2013 and 2014. At that time Saturn was in Scorpio and Pluto was in Capricorn. During that time Edward Snowden exposed global surveillance, and the United States’ dependence on oil was reduced. Iran made a nuclear deal and Russia annexed the Crimea. Saturn and Pluto at this angle can be very positive and productive depending on your point of view.
This time around Pluto is very close to the south node in the chart of the United States. This assures more shocking exposés on top of what we have already seen. Pluto conjunct the south of the United States lasts into 2029. The past will be regurgitated, examined, and resolved in the coming years. We will begin to refine the American experience of democracy. We will transform what has not worked in the past because we are seeing what needs to change. We will build a new sense of security in our lives no matter where we live. In the years ahead, past deeds and the perpetrators will be exposed, thus creating movements to cure inequality, make leaders accountable, and to recreate our communities and societies. We are coming faced to face with the cracks in the social order and government.
The last time Pluto crossed the south node of the Moon in the Sibley chart was the late 1770s to early 1780s.
The steam engine was invented.
The first hot air balloon was launched.
The American and French Revolution.
The Haitian uprising against slavery.
The rise of internationalism.
These events addressed oppression and created more liberty, thus transforming the lives of the population. Pluto crossing the south node position of July 4, 1776 brings hope and transformation.
The Liberty Bell was rung at the reading of the Declaration Of Independence.
It is ironic that the famous Liberty Bell, cracked when first cast in 1752. It was recast two times and then cracked again and could no longer ring in the 1840s. The Inscription on the bell, Is from Leviticus 25:10.
"Proclaim LIBERTY throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof"
Over the next several years Pluto is showing we the people that it is time to fix the cracks in our social order so that we can create a social order that guarantees the liberty we all deserve.
Venus moves through Taurus March 30 through April 23.
March ends on a high note with Venus moving into Taurus. Venus loves to be in Taurus. Venus loves luxury and the finer things in life, including nature. This is a great time to garden. Many of us will make romantic commitments, and others of us will pamper ourselves. The downside of Venus in Taurus is that some of us will be stubborn and possessive. Overindulgence could reign the day. Go back to the energy of the Virgo full Moon that says step away from the dessert buffet. Venus says just one more dessert. Virgo will provide the regret later once the dessert is in your tummy.

Read the summary with your calendar that shows the whole month on one page. Read through the intro and make note of the days that I point out. Mark the new Moon and the full Moon. The days between the new Moon and the full Moon are when you generally want to start something that you want to grow. Do look at that Moon void chart and take a rest on those days. I have discovered that no matter what I plan, it turns out another way on a Moon void day. Anything you try to accomplish will turn out with unexpected results.
Make note of the three days before the new Moon. People usually get anxious during these days because the phone does not ring or they feel confused or simply nothing is happen. That is because it is wind down time before the new Moon. You will usually notice that the action of life picks up once the new Moon occurs. Also note the days that planets change directions, especially Mercury retrograde.
Hopefully these suggestions will give you a bit of a start to maneuvering through life with astrology.
