 PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19) Well, you have a quite interesting month coming up, I must say! It begins with a couple of days of antsiness as Venus squares Uranus. Life gets a bit weird as we approach Mercury turning retrograde in Pisces on the 5^th – yes, you read correctly, retrograde in your own sign– and your laptop starts translating everything into Slovenian for some inexplicable reason. This is just in time for a powerful new moon in Pisces on the 6^th which lines up exactly with Neptune, also in Pisces. What a lineup for you! Sun, Moon, Neptune, all in a bundle in your sign. Expect to be a space cadet. Expect to start channeling dead Presidents who might just have something to say about current events. Seriously, it is a wonderful new moon for inspiration, for intuition, for art-making. But watch your outer edges – you’re pretty leaky under this influence with no boundaries whatsoever. Things are quiet for a week until the Sun squares Jupiter on the 12^th for a few days of fun and fulfillment. Mercury retrograde gets involved in this action by the 14^th for a couple of days of very interesting revelations. Then on the 17^th Venus in Aquarius makes a potent angle to Mars in Taurus, and you will be able to move forward with others in shared effort. Nice! The 20^th brings not only the Spring Equinox (yay!) but a full moon in Libra. You’ll want peace and harmony for all – good luck with that, what with Saturn bearing down on Pluto. Hope is good, though, and your prayers and well wishes will have great impact starting on the 24^th when Mercury retrograde crosses paths with Neptune. This combination is also very intuitive and inspired so pay attention to what is bubbling up from your unconscious. Mercury turns direct on the 28^th and the Neptune effect is still operating so allow yourself to be inspired.

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19) If you can avoid Saturn-Pluto –induced panic attacks this is quite an interesting and… dare I say it? … enjoyable month. Really. March begins with some creative vision inspired by Venus and Uranus. Mercury goes retrograde in Pisces on the 5^th, followed on the 6^th by a whopping Pisces New moon on top of Neptune. Yowza! This is a lot of ushy-gushy, weird, dreamy and inspired watery energy. Welcome to the Dreamtime. Use this lunation for meditation, healing, and projecting world peace. Pay close attention to the Mercury retrograde messages bubbling up from your unconscious. Uranus enters Taurus on the 6^th and stays there for the next several years, adding to the loudness and dramatic impact of Mother Earth’s voice. Pay attention to that too. By the 12^th the Sun squares Jupiter for a few days. This is about fulfillment, about one cycle ending and another beginning. Mercury retrograde gets in the action as well, so be careful about blabbing about things you may wish you kept under wraps. The 17^th kicks off a delightful week of a Venus-Mars square, helping you get things done and feel part of a shared effort. Then it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th, when the Sun enters Aries. Yay! It’s also the day of a Libra Full moon, illuminating your ideals and visions about relationships. By the 24^th, Mercury retrograde crosses paths with Neptune for the rest of the month, although it turns direct on the 28^th. Still, this is a dreamy, intuitive combination. You will be spacey but potentially prophetic.

 TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20) This is an interesting month for you, as long as you can stand the angst-generating Saturn-Pluto conjunction that is bearing down on us, making people feel as though the end is nigh. (It’s not.) And as long as you can stand Mercury being retrograde, which is will be for most of March. The month begins with a creatively stimulating Venus-Uranus square. Then Mercury turns retrograde on the 5^th, just in time for a gorgeous Pisces New moon on the 6^th parked right on top of Neptune. Besides bringing bad weather and messy travel, this new moon is wonderful for inspiration. Use it! Let Mercury retrograde help you exercise your intuitive perception.   No need to stress, just let your unconscious work out problems in your dreams. Oh, and did I mention that Uranus enters Taurus on the 6^th, where it spends the next several years?   Uranus in Taurus adds to the earthy expression in the sky right now of the most heavy-hitting planets… (If you’re born at the very beginning of Taurus you may feel like your life is exploding…) Uranus in Taurus just makes Mother Earth louder in her complaints, and I know you are listening. Then by the 12^th the Sun squares Jupiter for a few days, bringing you a sense of completion. Mercury retrograde gets in the action and you may learn some important information from an unexpected source. The week of the 17^th brings a gorgeous Venus–Mars angle (and Mars is in Taurus) enabling you to get a lot accomplished with a sense of shared purpose. Then it’s the Spring Equinox – yay! – and Libra full moon on the 20^th! Let’s hope you have your seeds in hand and your garden planned out. The last week of March has Mercury lined up with Neptune. Expect to be spaced out and disorganized. It’s time to meditate or go on a writing retreat. Mundane life may be challenging but your creative inspiration is off the charts.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) Believe it or not, March is a pretty quiet month—with the big exception of the serious and destabilizing influence of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction. The month begins with some antsy and inspired creative vision. Then your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on the 5^th, just in time for a watery and inspirational New moon in Pisces with Neptune all over it. Just let yourself float in the dreamtime – don’t even try to get anything done. Just let your unconscious do the work. It is a powerful time of inspiration and healing. Meanwhile by the 12^th the Sun in Pisces makes an angle to Jupiter in Sag, bringing you a sense of completion or closure. Mercury retrograde gets in the action too, so there may be unexpected information coming your way. The 17^th kicks off a week of a Venus-Mars square, which is delightful for shared effort. You will feel connected and part of something purposeful. The Spring Equinox occurs on the 20^th, along with a Libra full moon, illuminating the ways your relationships match or don’t match your ideals. By the 24^th Mercury crosses paths with Neptune for the rest of the month, first retrograde and then turning direct on the 28th. Your intuition will be spot on, and Mercury retrograde will help you identify where in your life you are seeking connection.

CANCER (JUNE 21- JULY 21) As a Cancer, you are undoubtedly affected by the

heavy Saturn-Pluto lineup occurring in your opposite sign of Capricorn right now… Expect to feel some amount of pressure and deep concerns for the planet and every being on it. This is a month in which to be gentle with yourself and with others, and that will be helped by all the Piscean energy for the first few weeks of March. The month begins with a few days of creative vision thanks to Venus and Uranus. Mercury goes retrograde on the 5^th, just in time for the Pisces new moon on the 6^th which sits on top of Neptune. That is a big dose of watery, intuitive, universal- oneness kind of energy! Use this powerful lunation for inspiration and let your intuition be your guide.   By the 12^th, the Sun makes an angle to Jupiter, giving you some notions of what completion could look like. Mercury retrograde gets into the action, and be careful about what you say and how you say it. You have the ability to create an ending that you actually may not be ready for. The Spring Equinox falls on the 20^th – Happy Spring!—along with a Libra Full moon. You‘re looking at your relationships and asking yourself if they measure up to your ideals. Remember, with Mercury retrograde, no big decisions, just let things bubble up from your unconscious. Mercury crossing paths with Neptune dominates the last week of the month. It’s downtime for the linear, conscious mind. Use this week to work on your creative practice.

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21) Well, the Saturn-Pluto influence is getting stronger this month and it’s hard not to feel like you’re watching a train wreck happen before your eyes. Try to take your eyes off the disaster, since there are interesting things afoot. You wouldn’t want to miss Mercury retrograde, for instance, and all of its surprises. But I get ahead of myself ! March begins with some stimulating creative and mental vision. Then Mercury goes retrograde on the 5^th, just in time for the New moon in Pisces on the 6^th that sits with Neptune. Yowza!

Beware of lots of smoke and mirrors. Use your intuition to sort out truth from fiction.

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21) This is a very interesting month for you, if you can weather the increasing sturm und drang of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn. (The world isn’t ending, really; it just feels that way.) March begins with a fun little Venus-Uranus action, stimulating creativity and vision. Then all the Piscean dynamics kick in, which are very important for you as a Virgo, Pisces being your opposite sign. Mercury in Pisces turns retrograde on the 5^th, followed by a whopping new moon in Pisces on the 6^th which sits on top of Neptune. Wow!

The last week of the month brings us right back to where we started with heavy Neptunian influences as Mercury retrograde crosses paths with Neptune. This is great for inspiration and intuition, and for creative and spiritual practice. Don’t expect to be able to manage earthy reality however!

It’s a helluva month, with some great dynamics. March begins with stimulating creative and visionary confabulation.

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19) Saturn is quickly approaching Pluto in Capricorn, and there is no way you are not feeling the weight of it, perhaps as an acute awareness of the consequences of humanity’s actions. Take a deep breath. This month, oddly enough, puts us all in touch with a sense of universal connection –a much needed antidote to seeing the shadow side of human-ness that Saturn and Pluto are surfacing.
