For the week of March 20th thru the 27th, be sure to read your Rising Sign as well:
Aries
If you are finding it difficult to get a good night’s sleep you are not alone. Welcome to Aries season. With an abundance of planets tumbling into your sign you can just feel the energy both rising and crashing at the same time. When tuned into that resurgence of fiery elemental energy recharging you, you are ready to take on all comers. That is, until Saturn, Neptune and stationing Mercury step in to stop you in your tracks, right along with Mercury. Exuberant and wanting to sally forth, you could find yourself having to step back and pause. That’s okay. Saturn is just trying to make sure you don’t miss a beat. And any way, both your ruling planet Mars and Mercury are still lingering in Pisces. Thankfully Mercury is stationing on Friday, ending its retrograde phase, and Mars is making that exuberant trine to Jupiter. Normally this would be just the water to dive head first into the pool. Saturn is just wanting you to make sure that there is water in the pool. This could serve as something of a wake up call, or at least a brush with reality. As a result of what you learn this week, you will at least have a better idea of what you are actually dealing with. Mercury’s station is something of a green light. But for you, it is a green light to get all the facts first, and then organize and orchestrate a plan behind the scenes, even if you are unable to execute it right away. Everything will fall in place as it will.
Taurus
This week Mercury makes its station direct, ending its retrograde phase. It may take a bit of time to pick up speed. But in the mean time you may be wondering how all the broken pieces can possibly come back together again, after the year that was. For the past 7 years that Uranus has been in your sign, you have been evolving and adapting to your own changing circumstances. But you probably were not prepared for the chaos that has been brewing of late. The last thing that Taurus wants is instability. And as many watched the prices soar this past week, it begins to make you wonder! We are receiving something of a wake up call this week, in which we see the results of decisions made in the past now coming to fruition. As a result you may stand in awe, watching your hopes and wishes dissolve before your very eyes. However, if this is true, realize that it is merely a temporary setback, with opportunities to make certain adjustments that will allow you to find long term solutions. This may require you to have to make some adjustments, or be willing to take some chances. But not so much to totally upset the apple cart. It is possible to work out solutions that do not necessarily disturb the status quo. We’ll speak to this next week. But in the mean time, pay attention to truths that are being revealed. For these could help you to get on track with what could even feel like your destiny.
Gemini
On Friday, your ruling planet Mercury makes its direct station, ending its retrograde phase once and for all. This is not the end however. There is something very important about what we are hearing and seeing and understanding this week. For it could change the way that you understand your role in the world. In many ways, a number of Gemini’s could find themselves in positions of authority, with some serious decisions having to be made, and setting the example for others to follow. And the importance of those decisions are coming home to roost with the station of Mercury. As it turns out, certain situations that you might not have thought relevant, or did not realize might have an effect on your circumstances going forward will be made evident. It’s almost as if no one is exempt from the hand of fate this week. This can be important. For many are now trying to figure out how they are going to fit into the new landscape that is evolving, and how they wish to be relevant in these uncertain and changing times. Pay attention to what is being revealed this week. It may feel riddled with bad news and all sorts of obstacles. But also what is being shown, are the ways that we can create a realistic plan for the future. There are solutions, but we may need to bend our minds a little bit to see them.
Cancer
Many a Cancer has been busy circling the wagons, planning and preparing to take some sort of action in their lives. You’ve been waiting for the right time, and this may be just the time to do so. Mars in Pisces is trine Jupiter in your sign this week, giving us all a boost of courage, but especially so for Cancer, who has been preparing for this moment to give voice to certain convictions that are near and dear to your heart and soul. Mercury also makes its direct station on Friday, ending its retrograde phase, which can serve as a green light to proceed with plans that had been put on hold. Invigorating and hopeful, you may find just the right sort of medium or venue in which to express yourself. Perhaps through a group, or in the company of others, you find the courage of your voice, and the ability to spread broadcast what you have been wanting to say. There is something important and intriguing about the station of Mercury this week, that almost feels like destiny. Just know that there is no going back once you’ve made certain promises to yourself and others. No more kicking the can down the road. It’s time to take the reins of your life in your own hands, in ways that you are comfortable to do so, and in ways that truly matter.
Leo
Welcome to Aries season. It normally helps you to prosper when the Sun is in a fellow Fire sign such as Aries is. But with Saturn also in Aries, you are asked to recheck all your facts first. With the Sun exactly conjunct the Sun this weekend it can be easy to be led astray or get sidelined by false information. On Friday, Mercury finally makes its direct station, ending its retrograde phase. This can be thankfully so. In the days leading up to the station, we should already experience a shift in consciousness that feels a bit like returning to what we usually associate with ‘normal’. This can be very helpful. For as it does so it can also bring a remarkable brush with reality, as to the consequences of certain decisions made in the past. Knowing exactly what the outcomes are can be helpful in making plans for the future. But it can also show us the errors of some of the plans we were making during the weeks that Mercury was retrograde. Often what seems like a really good idea during the retrograde phase, will have its faults revealed after Mercury is direct again. In this case we can also see some rewards for well laid plans. It all depends on how well we did the ground work. If your plans and decisions were based on a logical and well-informed plan, then you will see the rewards of doing so. But if you were overstepping, or making uninformed decisions then you will experience the consequences. Either way, you will know where you stand, and able to make whatever adjustments are needed.
Virgo
Your ruling planet, Mercury, makes its direct station on Friday, finally ending its retrograde phase. As I have been alluding to for the past several weeks, this has not been your usual retrograde phase of Mercury. Part of that is because it has been so deeply tied in with the Nodes of the Moon, which are indicators concerning our own as well as our collective destiny. As a result, as Mercury stations this week, we are becoming that much more aware of the importance of our choices. And how important it is to be clear about what those choices are. One thing that may become apparent is how well you have been seeing things. Have you only been seeing what you want to see in others? Or are you truly seeing them for who they are? Is it a fantasy, or is it real? It may be that you have been ignoring a situation, and preferring not to look at it. With the station of Mercury you are not going to have that privilege any more. Mercury’s station could feel like a brush with reality, in which you cannot be in denial about the circumstances in your life, or concerning some of the important people in your life. Things may not be all that you thought or hoped to be. Mercury’s direct station can be like a green light, either asking you to proceed, or to recalibrate. Just make sure you have all the facts first.
Libra
March has been quite the month. And we may all be wondering if we are ever going to be able to repair the damage that has been done. The economy is in chaos, alliances and relationships are struggling for air. Many are wondering how this is all going to play out in our own lives. Will it affect your work? Or even as you go about your daily life? It may even come as something of a shock to walk through the activities of your day, as if everything is normal while the world is going to hell in a hand basket. But that same energy that is turning the world on its head, can actually be used to your advantage this week. It may seem that there is bad news and limitations to the left and right of you. However, what this weather also gives us is the power to set appropriate limits with yourself and others. And that can include making commitments to creating better habits that will serve you well for months, perhaps even years to come. Pay attention though. Because within the bounds of the Mercury station some hard truths could come to light. Like a brush with reality, there are just some things we simply cannot ignore, or just pretend that they are going away on their own. They won’t. However, all is not lost. For if you channel this weather in a positive way, it can compel you to look for solutions that are even better and more effective in the long run.
Scorpio
As Mercury stations direct on Friday, it makes an exact conjunction to the North Node in Pisces. Simultaneously, Mars, also in Pisces is making an exact trine to Jupiter bringing you confidence and a sudden surge of enthusiasm. Just know that even though you are regaining your courage, you are going to have to be strategic about how you are going to use the spotlight. There are ways that will help you to have your say, and still be heard. This requires you to employ patience, planning, discipline and persistence, even if your heart isn’t particularly into it. By that same token, any creative projects that you are working on can greatly benefit in this weather. That focus and concentration can help you to work out the details in a project, and work long hours to see a project brought to conclusion. This is when your creative spark is taking on a whole new dimension, allowing you to take a creative ideal, and figure out ways to make it manifest. We will speak to this more next week, but there is a decided advantage to making certain kinds of commitments, particularly in work, or with health concerns, that can benefit you for years to come. Mercury’s direct station on Friday will enable you to channel some of that creative innovation into your personal and daily life.
Sagittarius
Know that what may seem like a limitation right now, or even a setback, can also prove to be a blessing in disguise. This will become that much more apparent now that Mercury is making its direct station on Friday, ending its retrograde phase which began on February 26th. No matter how stubborn some people may appear, or how contrary they seem, do not be discouraged. For there is still some wiggle room here to make small but meaningful changes in your life, that can make all the difference going forward. It could also become more apparent as to who is going to be there for the long haul. One other thing that could become apparent, are the results and consequences of decisions that you have made in your personal life in the past. Now you are seeing the results of these, and exactly what you are or are not dealing with. And even if it’s not exactly what you might have hoped for at the time, this brush with reality can help you with whatever decisions you might want or need to make going forward. Clarity is good. Acceptance is also good. Which can then allow you to better appreciate the advantages you do have. There’s a lovely, and lucky transit between Mars and your ruling planet Jupiter this weekend that can help to reconfirm exactly what those are. Lean into this transit which will be strongest over the weekend… celebrate small favors and big wins. Because hey, you just never know.
Capricorn
Now that Mercury is stationing direct on Friday, it is giving you the green light to proceed with certain ideas, plans or strategies that have been percolating on the back burner of your life. An aspect between Saturn and Pluto makes this an ideal time for long-term commitments and following through on these plans. What you might even discover, is that even small changes can have a big impact on your life in this weather. And this should become that much more apparent this week as Mercury makes its direct station on Friday ending its retrograde. And probably thankfully so. For although Mercury’s station could even bring some rational realizations, it also gives you permission to back out of situations that you no longer feel comfortable with, and say No to agreements that are not in your favor. You may not feel that you can freely speak out without suffering the consequences, but there are other ways to speak your mind, and/or change your plans without upsetting the apple cart. In this way, you can move forward with certain plans, not only for your own sake, and in your own life, but for others as well. Know your mind. Know your own perspective. And be clear about what and where you want to go. Once Capricorn makes a commitment to something, there’s no turning back. And certainly not in this weather.
Aquarius
This is probably true for everyone right now, but it is seems especially true for Aquarius to find yourself in the scheme of things. Somewhere between a life that once was, and the new one that is gradually making itself known, you will find this spot that some how attempts to reconcile the old and the new aspects of your life. Back in 2021-23 many an Aquarius was trying to redefine themselves. Over the past few years you were figuring out ways to make that new life more sustainable and self-sufficient. Now that Saturn has entered Aries, that self-sufficiency takes on greater meaning. That includes the sorts of decisions and commitments you are wanting to make going forward. That can be as simple as creating healthier habits. On Friday, Mercury finally makes its direct station, ending its retrograde phase, allowing you to see a clearer path unfolding before you. A path that you can afford and live with. But within that context what you learn this week about yourself, your values, your expectations, can show you what adjustments may be needed. Especially if there have been any setbacks. Know that this may not necessarily be so. For in this weather, you get the feeling that things are proceeding precisely as they should.
Pisces
Many a Pisces has been redefining themselves over the past few years. And many are trying to do so now within a new scheme that appears to be continually evolving and changing. And even though change can feel disorienting at times, it can also be an opportunity to stretch you beyond your current circumstances. All the more so if they have become limiting in some way. And you just may realize or discover through these attempts at redefining yourself that you had actually outgrown many of the structures of your life. As a result, you’ve been tasked with discovering and figuring out your own unique role and place in this new world. This week Mercury makes its direct station, ending its retrograde, and in some way you are being asked: What have you learned about yourself? Over the past few years you have been learning quite a bit. You have been reacquainting yourself with yourself, and coming to understand those things that do resonate with you, your goals, your view of the world, and those that simply do not. And hopefully with Mercury’s direct station, this should now be quite clear. We all have a path, and discovering what that path is can be deeply clarifying. That clarity will allow you to make better plans for the future, to see a path unfolding before you, and to invest that path with deeper meaning and understanding.
