Friday, March 25th - The moon is void of course until this afternoon at 2:09pm EST as it enters Scorpio. The morning is slow moving and lethargic. If you push too hard, you could find yourself more taxed than expected. Saturn enters retrograde this morning at 6:01am, where it will stay until August 13th. This is the year of retrogrades, as just about every major planet will enter a retrograde motion at some point (save for Venus). We will not receive a break from retrogrades until January 2017, so consider 2016 the year of tying up all loose ends and dealing with dirty laundry from the past before starting fresh next year.
Saturn retrogrades cause us to face our responsibilities and those things we've promised ourselves and others. Saturn doesn't put anything in our paths that we didn't once put there ourselves; it is not a bully, it just has the memory of an elephant! During these periods, we may be reminded of areas where we feel like we have not lived up to our potential, and it may feel as though life is hammering us with reality. The best way to handle the next five months will be to start handling your affairs and getting things in order best you can. Don't lose sight of your goals and future dreams, but instead use those as fuel to accomplish whatever is left over for you to deal with. Saturn will not let us run and escape into a fantasy or daydream this year. If you try to run, your responsibilities will find you. Rewards await those who complete tasks they started long ago.
Venus and Jupiter are in opposition today and Venus and Saturn are also in square. This will feel uncomfortable for most people, and can create tension in relationships. Some may feel as though they are unattractive or not up to someone else's standards. A lot of this energy is self-directed and self-inflicted, so consider meditating or doing something on your own to understand what is making you feel that way. These transits will have a "hangover" effect over the weekend, so it's a good idea to understand them now rather than wallowing in self pity for a few days. Those who are unaffected may notice that friends or lovers aren't quite as confident as usual. Be kind and complimentary, but realize that the problem isn't because of you and so you will likely not be able to fix it for another person.
Saturday, March 26th - The Sun and Mars are in trine today, which increases physical energy. Get moving early on and stay active and busy throughout the day. It is a good day to confront situations or projects that have seemed insurmountable lately.
Venus and Pluto are in sextile today, which amplifies the need for romantic partnership and for understanding another person in a close and intimate way. Any connections made today will not be shallow, and those that are will feel particularly unsatisfying. Share more and open up to someone else. It is a good day for rearranging your house and allowing new energy to come in.
The moon trines Neptune and sextiles Jupiter over the afternoon and evening. Spirituality is favored. Consider meditation, prayer or ritual in whatever capacity is comfortable for you. Creativity of any kind can also be rewarding on a higher level. Whatever you do today should be an expression of your inner truth and what you are seeking in your life. Don't surround yourself with those that make you feel negative or drained.
Sunday, March 27th - The moon sextiles Pluto and trines Venus before moving void of course at 3:25am EST. There is a keen intuition available for most today, particularly Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces and Cancer. The ability to read between the lines is heightened, so lying will not fly. Lies will unravel and be revealed, so it may be a good idea to be upfront and come clean if there is anything you're not being truthful about.
The moon is void of course all afternoon and night, but it does have some interplay with Chiron and the North Node this morning (in the form of a trine and sextile, respectively). Healing work is encouraged. Do stretches, yoga or eat healthily. Holistic care is encouraged.
Although today is the Easter holiday for those who celebrate, it is actually a better day to spend on our own. Family time is fine, but make sure you get a moment to yourself to recharge.
Monday, March 28th - The moon emerges from its void period at 2:46am as it enters Sagittarius. Mental activity increases. It is a good time for reading, studying or creative-based learning. Sagittarian moons make it difficult to sit still and absorb information unless it inspires and interests us. Consider taking a class or reading a book on a topic that intrigues you.
The moon conjuncts Mars, trines the Sun and squares Neptune today. Enthusiasm is high and moods are good (mainly for Leo, Sagittarius and Aries). Creativity may be blocked, so shake up your routine or look for outside inspiration to get projects moving again.
Tuesday, March 29th - Today is an extremely active day in the cosmos. This morning, the moon trines Mercury, squares Jupiter and moves into conjunction with Saturn. The day feels busy and full. Even if your schedule is not very packed with things to do, it may feel as though you are being overwhelmed with options or ideas. Saturn offers a backbone to help plans follow through, although the Jupiter square may make it a challenge to think outside the box too much. Group work is favorable today; the adage 'two heads are better than one' is certainly accurate on this day when it comes to accomplishments.
This afternoon, Mercury and Jupiter are inconjunct one another at 2:35pm EST. Despite the busy atmosphere, many will cling to their routines or the established way they have of doing something. Some will think their way is better, even if both methods get you in the same place in the end. Stubborn thinking is prevalent, so it is best to find a compromise rather than to fight for your own viewpoint.
The moon trines Uranus and squares Venus and the North Node tonight before moving void of course at 9:55pm EST. The evening sees a yearning for adventure and freedom, particularly for Sagittarius, Aries and Leo.
Venus and the North Node are in exact opposition today, which is an interesting transit for romantic partnerships. This aspect has the tendency to make us hide in our own little bubbles rather than considering what we need to do to grow and learn. It will impact our creativity and any projects we embark on, but it will also affect our relationships. This week, maintain awareness and try to separate the concepts of what you want vs what is best. Do your relationships empower you and the other person? Do you both have room to grow, separately and as a unit? If there is any hesitation there, consider what this means and mull it over throughout the rest of the week.
Mercury and Saturn are in trine tonight. Important issues can be talked about with ease, although emotions may not be at the forefront. Any conversations that are too heated or rooted in emotion may not get through to the other person (particularly if you are dealing with a fire sign - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius - or someone with their Mercury in a fire sign). Address things in a logical, sensible manner and your message will be heard.
Wednesday, March 30th - This morning, Venus and Chiron are in conjunction in Pisces, which will further solidify the themes addressed yesterday. Relationships are bringing out our deepest wounds and insecurities this month and are allowing us a chance to address them. It may not always feel comfortable and pleasant, but there is a real opportunity to do work on ourselves and end up feeling closer to our partners than ever before. Don't run from this chance. Empower yourself by making positive changes in your own life, and these will in turn affect your relationships for the better.
Mercury and Pluto are in exact square today. This has been building for several days now, and may be manifesting as issues with power, control or leadership. This will often show up in our jobs, at school, or any place where we have a divide of power or authority. Don't be surprised if you feel compelled to speak up for yourself, or if someone else speaks up to you. Any unfair treatment will likely bubble to the surface today, and it may be difficult to keep things under wraps.
The moon comes out of its void at 1:45pm EST and enters Capricorn. Work and career are highlighted today, and important changes could begin to take place (even if these are just plans forming in your mind).
Mercury and Uranus are conjunct in Aries today as well. Things in the work arena that were moving slowly could begin to speed up. Today is more action-oriented than the rest of the week has been, and will provide a glimpse into the energy of the next month or two. The next three weeks are ideal for making important shifts. Hit the major bullet points on your list before April 28th, when Mercury goes retrograde.
Thursday, March 31st - The Capricorn moon sextiles Neptune and squares the Sun this morning. Inspiration and creativity come in, although it may be challenging to put into words exactly what you are feeling. This is more the type of creativity that is automatic, rather than deliberate and controlled. Put pencil to paper and see what happens (or in whatever medium you prefer).
Mercury and the North Node are inconjunct today. It's been a busy week for Mercury! This aspect will create divides between certain groups of people. You may find that some just don't understand your new plans or ideas... this is okay. There is no way to please everyone, and the best way of handling it right now is to show them the completed product rather than trying to get them onboard before you've even begun. This applies to many different fields of life, including relationships, jobs, or other life choices that someone else doesn't seem to approve of.
The moon trines Jupiter and conjuncts Pluto tonight. Optimism returns to many, and it will be key to not define yourself by what someone else thinks or expects of you. That is a reflection back on them, and actually has nothing to do with you. Jupiter gives a wide-reaching array of interests and options for plans tonight, and Pluto awards a little more focus so you can make a choice and stick with it.
