March 27 – April 2

Aries New Moon

What to expect: New Intentions
What to watch out for: Lack of focus
What will it affect? Emotions, Charities, philanthropic projects

This week stars with a New Moon in Aries. Aries is the initiator, the doer, the ‘let’s get it going” woman. Impetuous and impatient, acting and then thinking later… or maybe never thinking about it… no time to think…. Aries is the entrepreneur, full of ideas. Trying one and then another. The serial entrepreneur… who creates and gets something off the ground and then looses interest once it’s going.

This New Moon we can set intentions for getting our projects off the ground. The new moon is ruled by Mars and on the same day, Mars will be sextile Neptune, giving an extra boost to service, charity or philanthropic projects.
Aires is also the first sign of the zodiac. It’s the sign that says “I am… I matter”. It’s the place we go to define ourselves and to nurture healthy selfishness. If you have found that you have lost yourself, maybe in a partnership, relationship, family dynamics or a job, you can now set intentions for reclaiming who you are. Maybe that means carving out more time for yourself or saying “no” more often. Maybe it means being or trying things alone. Now is the time to set those kinds of intensions as well.

Why? New Moon at 7°Ar37′, Mars Sextile Neptune

Plan Plan Plan!

What to expect: Putting together a plan
What to watch out for: Too much negative thinking
What will it affect? Plans, projects, teams, partnerships

By the 29th of March we can start setting things into motion, lining up our team and creating a project plan. It doesn’t have to be a perfect plan. Mercury is trine Saturn helping us to think through things critically and to have an added measure of caution. But it’s also in its shadow period, which means that during mercury will retrograde next month, so mercury and Saturn will chat several more times about this matter and be able to sort through any kinks. Mars is trine partnership asteroid Juno and will help us to assemble the right partnership or team. The two of them are in earth signs, so they will be planned and cautious, but also ambitious and motivated. Pallas the asteroid responsible for feminine strategy will also go into Aries on the 29th adding in some warrior goddess energy to the mix.

Why? Mercury Trine Transiting Saturn, Mars Trine Transiting Juno. Pallas Entering Aries

Fight for Fairness

What to expect: Power Struggles
What to watch out for: Outdated thinking
What will it affect? Beliefs, journalism, higher education, status quo, governments, large corporations

On March 30th Justice squares off with the old boys club! Jupiter in balanced and fair seeking Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn currently restructuring old structures and world governments. Legal battles and ego’s, strong belief and power plays are all to be expected.

On March 31st, Mercury moves into Taurus affecting messaging and communication. It will sound status quo and may trigger those who are frustrated by the inflexibility. However mercury does make a trine to the North Node, pushing us in the right direction. Even if you don’t like what you are hearing, you can be assured that actions and reactions will push us in the right direction – Even if they are negatively reinforced.

Why? Jupiter Square Pluto, Mercury Entering Taurus, Mercury Trine North Node

Feminine Battle Cry!

What to expect: Feminine war strategy
What to watch out for: unconscious motivations
What will it affect? Values, world events, money, love, the feminine

On April 1st Venus still retrograde will conjunct Pallas. It’s happening at what is called the Aries point – 0 degree of Aries. It stands at the precipice between spiritual love (Pisces) and war (Aries) and has a big impact on world events. With Venus and Pallas here we feel again that feminine warrior energy. Venus retrograde connected Pallas means that clarity of values, karmic debt around the feminine and feminine strategy also emerges. Women go about things much differently than men. And as the feminine energy emerges and becomes stronger than the outdated patriarch model, we also see a new approach to war emerge. Pallas was the goddess of war strategy. It’s interesting that as a strategist Pallas “disliked fighting without purpose and preferred to use wisdom to settle predicaments. The goddess approved of fighting only for a reasonable cause or to resolve conflict. She encouraged everyone to use intuitive wisdom rather than anger or violence”. (Wikipedia) As these two connect April 1st, we’ll likely see this type of feminine intuitive approach emerge and strengthen.

Then on April 2nd Venus will slip back into Pisces where it takes us on a deeply spiritual karmic journey. It’s the morning star now and the archetype of our love (or lack thereof) both shadow and light will become the focus. Use this time to peel back the layers of your ability to give and receive love and to connect with divine love. What is standing in the way? Or are you a way-shower? If so, what are you doing about it?

Why? Venus Conjunction Transiting Pallas, Transiting Venus Entering Pisces, Pluto Trine Transiting Ceres

March 20 – 26

Happy New Astrological Year!

What to expect: A new cycle
What to watch out for: Leaving loose ends
What will it affect? New plans, new goals, women, relationships, the coming year

Welcome to the Astrological New Year! It starts at Equinox – March 20th! It’s been a long winter here in the Northern Hemisphere and this a time that many will welcome as the days get longer and warmer. The beginning of spring is also the beginning of the Astrological year. As we move into Aries we set in motion a new cycle. This is often a time when governments and companies start their budgetary cycles. It’s when performance plans get put into place and when we start to think about what we want for the coming year. Many also receive bonuses now. It’s also a time when were completing our taxes and wrapping up the last year. For the business world, the end of March is often seen as the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. But what will the new cycle bring?

On the March 21st Neptune will lovingly connect with Juno the marriage and partnership asteroid. This is this energy start our new cycle and puts a focus on spiritual relationship. They are not just spiritual, but also ones that are achievement oriented and who’s purpose extends beyond the two as a unit. This is the year of the power couple, the business couple, the dynamic duo. Twin flame relationships or any relationship that founded in the co-creative model will have a impact. These couples will take centre stage and will be leading through the example of unconditional love with projects or business.

The Moon will also conjunct Saturn at the start of our new cycle. These two are in Sagittarius and are close to the Galactic Centre currently located at 27 Sagittarius. The start of the astrological year forecasts seriousness and karmic readjustment as it relates to women, our emotions and the home. This will not always be an easy adjustment. For some it will be lonely and difficult. But it needs to be remembered that Saturn as a karmic planet that also rewards. And so we can see things in the coming year being set right.

Why? Sun Entering Aries, Neptune Sextile Juno, Saturn conjunct Moon

Saying What you Mean and Meaning What You Say!

What to expect: Unintended thoughts and words
What to watch out for: Being offensive
What will it affect? Communication, large scale change, causes

Between March 23 and March 26th Mercury will make some comments that might send us all into a war of words. Mercury is currently in Aries, where it has little censorship. Whatever Mercury thinks in Aries comes out of Mercury’s mouth. It’s not meant to be offensive or abrasive. It’s just that thought has not been put into its impact on others. Aries after all is centered more on its own goals. Mercury squares Pluto on March 23rd and our minds will have the ability to see into great depths. But it leaves us suspicious and argumentative. And with Pluto in ambitious Capricorn, it also leaves us with a desire to coerce or steamroll for our own goals. Mercury then opposes Jupiter on March 24th setting up an increased likelihood of foot-in-mouth syndrome. The overconfidence and faulty judgement meter will be high! Add to the mix that mercury will be squaring passionate and purposeful Vesta now in Cancer, and you can expect land feuds, family feuds and feuds going as far back in lineage that you’ve forgotten the original cause of the feud. By the 26th when Mercury meets up with Uranus in Aries all pistons and neurons will be firing at full throttle. We may have some lightning bolt insights, but wait a couple of days to check out if the logic flows before sharing your thoughts.

Why? Mercury Square Pluto, Saturn Square Pallas, Mercury Transiting Jupiter, Mercury Square Vesta, Mercury Conjunction Transiting Uranus

Cheeky Fun or Trouble?

What to expect: Challenge to our morals
What to watch out for: Being immoral
What will it affect? Relationships, money, egos

On March 25th Venus retrograde by this point has disappeared from the night sky and will return in a couple of days as a “morning star”; it no longer showing up at night, but instead in the morning. It’s in a conjunction with the Sun and “combust” meaning that she a little too close to the Sun. When any planet comes too close to the Sun, they get burned up and the Sun takes over. But Venus will be making a trine to Black Moon Lilith and is, as I said, retrograde, making her a bit cheeky. She’s under the table at the family dinner party doing naughty things with her boyfriend that nobody can see, but are none the less perverse. This is a time when you might find yourself temporarily losing your morals. If you’re going for a harmless shock, go for it. But if you think “I wouldn’t want this on the front page of the local Star or Sun” (newspaper)…. then don’t do it!

Why? Sun Conjunction Venus, Venus Trine Black Moon

March 13 – 19

Writing First Draft

What to expect: Energy to get our projects going
What to watch out for: Perfectionism
What will it affect? Projects, communication

On March 13th Mercury enters into Aries bringing in pioneering and assertive energy in our communications. Aries is action oriented and impulsive so it’s a great time to direct that energy into brainstorming or getting the ideas out on paper. It doesn’t need to be perfect – Aries is okay with that. There is a considerable amount of energy for getting our projects going and moving them forward. Sometimes all we need is just a rough draft. Mars in Taurus will give us the focus and will connect with the North Node, ensuring that we are on the right path.

Why? Mercury Entering Aries, Mars Trine North Node

Somatic Bodywork

What to expect: Healing
What to watch out for: Being cheap with yourself
What will it affect? Healing, connections to ourselves, connections to our path

On March 14th the Sun connects exactly with Pallas and Chiron. We’ve been in this energy since the weekend when the moon was full. We’re breaking through to some truths, able to see the big picture. Lots of wounds have been erupting to the surface. We may have been in a sea of emotions. Neptune is also connecting with nurturing Ceres on the same day currently in the sensuous sign of Taurus. Its great energy to connect with ourselves through healing touch (Massage, Reiki, and Energy Healing), sound therapy or other healing that uses any of the other five senses. This will also help us to connect with our sixth sense (psychic ability). All of us have it! And more and more we are learning how to connect with it, give it validity and trust it. This connection will not only help us to heal and connect, it can help us to gain access to information that will assist in our next steps.

Take some time this week to treat yourself.

Why? Sun Conjunction Pallas, Sun Conjunction Chiron, Venus Square Juno, Neptune Sextile Ceres, Chiron Conjunction Pallas

Helpful Obstacles

What to expect: Frustrations
What to watch out for: Conflict
What will it affect? Our ego’s, money, contracts, relationships

On the 17th pessimism comes up. We may feel held back by obstacles. But, sometimes we need this kind of energy to help stop us. It seems like an invisible hand holding us back, and in the moment we feel frustrated or angry. But sometime down the line, as time passes, we come to realize that we dodged a bullet. It may also have the effect of helping us to discover something about ourselves that we would not have discovered if it were not for that adversity. It is then that we recognize those obstacles actually served a good and loving purpose. This is likely to be the case when Mercury and Venus meet up on the 18th. We may be chomping at the bit to sign a contract or compelled to buy a large purchase… but that Sun/Saturn combination the day before might have caused us to lose our bank card, or caused our visa to be compromised – imposing a wait period for the new card. We may have been blocked by someone; a boss or a spouse. These kinds of frustrations will actually be saving you. Venus is still retrograde and as they say with Venus retrograde, “all that glitters is not gold”.

Jupiter and Juno are also chiming in with their energy. Juno is square to mercury and we feel like playing the blame game. The more you can look on the bright side of any frustrations, the more you will be able to keep yourself out of fights with partners. Jupiter is in the relationship sign of Libra and the likelihood of a clash is also supported by Jupiter squaring Vesta. We could get locked into “should’s”, black and white thinking and spend a lot of time keeping score.

Acceptance and responsibility are the keys.

Why? Sun Square Transiting Saturn, Mercury Conjunction Venus, Mercury Square Juno, Jupiter Square Vesta
