PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19)  Wow, what a month! March begins with a gorgeous Venus- Jupiter conjunction that brings a tremendous sense of fullness and expansion.  At the same time Mercury, just entering Pisces on the 2^nd,  pairs up with Saturn so it’s perhaps a tad hard to enjoy Venus and Jupiter because you’re tense and angsty.  But please—really try to enjoy the deliciousness of Venus and Jupiter.  Just go with the flow – we know you know how to do that—and keep breathing as we approach the powerful Virgo full moon on the 7^th. This full moon: well, there are some issues.  It lines up quite exactly with Pluto, and of course Pluto and Saturn are getting into it with Uranus on the earth axis. It’s all about power struggles , globally as well as in your own personal geopolitic. Yikes—did I mention that Saturn enters your sign of Pisces on the 7^th as well?   This is a major astrological shift, with Saturn moving from ideological Aquarius into emotionally sensitive Pisces.  You might have to develop some stronger shields. Then by the 13^th the Pisces Sun and Mercury catch up to your ruling planet Neptune  for about 5 days, a beautiful combination for artistic expression.  But truthfulness could be slippery during this period so make sure you know what’s what and don’t give away the store, as they say. Venus in Aries makes an angle to Pluto at the same time, so if there are financial negotiations going on, be strategic, stay strong, and trust your gut. Then it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th followed immediately on the 21^st by the Aries new moon.  Again I say “Yikes !”.   The Sun and Moon line up with Uranus and reflect Saturn  and Pluto.  What can I say—Ukraine, Palestine, Russia, China, earthquakes, train wrecks, climate disaster.  Indeed things are very intense and awful out there in the world.  Use Saturn in Pisces to help you in the loving-kindness department.  Pluto sneaks into Aquarius on the 23^rd.  Things they are a-changin’. Mars enters Cancer on the 25^th after months and months  and months in Gemini, and March ends with an interesting Mars- Venus- Uranus transit, bringing some surprises and perhaps unexpected resolutions and breakthroughs.

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19)   March begins with a big gift from the universe for you, a gorgeous Venus-Jupiter conjunction in your sign of Aries.  This brings a sense of completion and fulfillment and attunement with the universe.  It is also the end of one cycle and the beginning of something new. Really take this in! and while you’re at it please don’t succumb to the quick Mercury-Saturn conjunction which could surface doubt and overthinking.  There’s always things to worry about, especially since Uranus still stirs the pot for the world, and especially as we head toward the Virgo full moon on the 7^th which lines up with Pluto.  The world will be tense and there are plenty of strongmen flexing their damn muscles and acting belligerently.  By the 13^th the Pisces Sun and Mercury line up with Neptune for several days of dreamy inspiration. Use this transit to ground yourself in spiritual and creative practice.  Then it’s  Aries’ time, baby—it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th when the Sun enters your sign, followed immediately by an Aries new moon on the 21^st.   This is a dramatic new moon, since the Sun and moon line up with Uranus on the earth axis.  Expect tumultuousness and serious weather.   Then the month ends with Venus in Taurus catching up to Uranus and making an angle to Mars in Cancer.  Maybe the world comes to its senses.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)  Ooh, big doings for you this month. March begins with an extremely pretty conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in Aries, bringing fullness and completion to some projects and efforts.  It also brings endings and beginnings. Try to enjoy it as along as Mercury’s quick pass over Saturn doesn’t make you too irritated.  Speaking of irritation, if Mercury doesn’t irritate you the Virgo full moon on the 7^th just might.  The moon lines up with Pluto, bringing power struggles to the fore.  The good news is that by the 13^th the Sun and Mercury in Pisces catch up to Neptune for several days of inspired mental vision and creativity.   Your imagination will be so rich and global that you won’t have enough plans and projects to hold all your ideas.  And Saturn, newly in Pisces, will make sure that your inspirations are of huge humanitarian meaning.  So pay attention to your ideas!   Then it’s Happy Spring!  Yay!  The Spring Equinox falls on the 20th, followed immediately by an Aries new moon on the 21^st.    The Sun and Moon line up with Uranus so this will be a tumultuous new moon with serious weather.  Meanwhile Venus has entered your sign of Taurus as of the 16^th, and guess what? It heads straight for Uranus, and it gets close enough for the world to feel it by the 29^th. The month ends not only with Venus conjunct Uranus – wonderful for breakthroughs and liberation – but also with Mars in Cancer in the picture.  Let’s look for diplomatic breakthroughs globally and some unexpected resolutions. Expect the unexpected and nourish your creativity!

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)  Well, March begins with a beautiful conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in Aries, bringing completion of a big undertaking. Now, that is a great thing but keep in mind that at the same time Mercury makes a quick pass over Saturn as it leaves Aquarius and moves into Pisces.  So you’re worried and feeling a bit overwhelmed too.  And we are approaching the rather tense Virgo full moon on the 7^th, the day Saturn enters Pisces for the first time in over 28 years.  Talk about a sea change!  And this full moon lines up with Pluto, surfacing power struggles. By the 13^th the Sun and Mercury in Pisces catch up to Neptune for about 5 days of dreamy inspiration.   At the same time Venus and Pluto surface some financial decisions or negotiations – make sure everything is on the up and up.  Mercury and Neptune could make you misread things.   Happy Spring on the Spring Equinox on the 20^th!  The Aries new moon follows on the 21^st, and this is a potent new moon that lines up with Uranus on the Earth axis.  Expect the fire signs in your life to throw their egos around in that “I’m the center of the universe” kinda way they have…then the month ends with some interesting and surprising dynamics. Venus in Taurus catches up to Uranus by the 29^th, and then Mars finally finally leaves your sign of Gemini, enters Cancer, and also gets involved with Venus and Uranus.  Expect unexpected possibilities and openings.

CANCER  (JUNE 21- JULY 21)  This month has a lot going on! March begins with a powerful and beautiful Venus Jupiter conjunction in Aries that brings a lot of fulfillment your way.  Enjoy it!  It is also the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.   At the same time Mercury makes a quick transit of Saturn, making you a bit edgy and worried.  It’s important to trust the universe right now, even though the universe seems insane!  This  month has many moving pieces, and all the energy building up in Pisces makes you extra  thin-skinned.  The Virgo full moon approaches on the 7^th, the same day that Saturn moves into Pisces—the first time in over 28 years! The good news is that Saturn in Pisces should help us all be more compassionate, but the  Virgo full moon lines up with Pluto, surfacing power struggles on the personal as well as global planes.  Try to focus on loving-kindness—just sayin’.   Then on the 13^th the Sun and Mercury in Pisces meet up with Neptune for at least 5 days of complete sensitivity and inspiration.  This is a wonderful aspect for creative expression and spiritual work , but if you have to be in the mundane world you  might be a space cadet and miss some important cues.   Then the Spring Equinox falls on the 20^th, followed immediately by the Aries new moon on the 21^st.  This is a big new moon for you since the Sun and Moon line up with Uranus. Expect to be agitated!  But let yourself explore the new and different and definitely get out of your comfort zone.  On the 25^th Mars enters your own sign of Cancer after endless eons in Gemini, so you’ll feel some forward momentum. Mars lines up with Venus and Uranus at the end of the month and it is time for you to take some risks and get liberated.

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21)  March brings many changing dynamics– but it’s not all bad by any means.  In fact, the month begins with a beautiful Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Aries, bringing fulfillment and sense of the turn of the great wheel of fate. Fate or fortune—to the ancients, they were the same thing.  This brings a certain poignancy—you are aware that something is ending and something else is beginning.  At the same time, Mercury makes a quick transit of Saturn which has  you doing some very detailed work and perhaps being a bit irritated by it.  Just roll with it, if there’s any rolling to be done in the run up to the Virgo full moon on the 7^th.  Ooh—and Saturn enters Pisces on the 7^th, the first time in over 28 years.   Talk about a sea change! So this Virgo full moon lines up with Pluto, and there are  all kinds of shenanigans going in with Uranus, Saturn and Pluto this month, making for a lot of power struggles and repression all over the world and in your life.  Deep breaths.  But by the 13^th the Pisces Sun and Mercury catchup to Neptune for a good few days of dreamy inspiration . Indulge your creative self ; watch all the Bertolucci movies; hole up with the work of visionary Afrofuturism writer NK Jemisin; go on a  meditation retreat.  Then it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th, followed by an agitating Aries new moon on the 21^st which is bound to bring  bad weather, global fireworks, and personal changes.  The month ends with Venus and Mars in an angle to Uranus, sparking breakthroughs and unexpected possibilities. 

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)  Yikes, what a month!  March begins with a beautiful Venus-Jupiter conjunction in Aries, bringing a sense of completion and a feeling that you are in a big transition, with something important ending and something new beginning.    Enjoy it, and try not to be distracted by pesky Mercury making a quick pass over  Saturn. This combination can make you edgy, and there is no reason to be edgy – just trust the process.  The Virgo full moon falls on the 7^th, the same day Saturn moves from heady Aquarius into mushy Pisces.  Saturn hasn’t been here for over 28 years!  Let’s hope its transit into Pisces will inspire us all to be more compassionate…It will be an intense full moon for you  because it is in your sign, for starters (I don’t know about you but I can’t stand full moons in my own sign),  and then it lines up quite exactly with Pluto. Oy! Beware of power struggles ahead!  Then on the 13^th the Sun and Mercury in Pisces both catch up to Neptune.  Oof—that is a pileup of big watery ocean-y energy and it lasts a solid 5-6 days.  Your creative soul will be inspired and your imagination will run wild.  Let it rip!  But— at the same time stay close to your Virgo integrity: people’s ethical lines can get very blurry when Neptune is involved.  The Spring Equinox falls on the 20^th, followed immediately by the Aries new moon on the 21^st.  This is an agitating new moon because the sun and moon line up with Uranus so expect the unexpected and a lot of dramatic weather.  Then by the 29^th Venus in Taurus catches up to Uranus and they both make an angle to Mars .  Now it gets interesting!   Expect unexpected resolutions and breakthroughs. Things never stay the same!

And that it’s in your opposite sign of Aries makes it extra impactful for you.  It is the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.  At the same time, however, Mercury passes over Saturn, giving you some stress but allowing you to get some hard mental work accomplished.  The Virgo full moon falls on the 7^th, the same day that Saturn enters Pisces for the first time in over 28 years.   This is quite a sea change, Saturn entering Pisces, and pray that it brings us all more capacity for loving -kindness.  The Virgo full moon is an intense one since it lines up with Pluto and brings all kinds of power struggles to the fore. Then on the 13^th, the Sun and Mercury pair up in Pisces and catch up to Neptune.   Omg that’s a lot of watery, ushy-gushy Piscean energy.  It is great for creative inspiration and for talking to the dead.  Put out food for the ghosts – they might need some Libra attention.   But—all that Neptunian energy can be confusing and confused so be careful of people not saying what they mean.  Stay grounded and trust your gut. The Sun enters Aries and it’s the Spring Equinox on the 20^th, followed by the Aries new moon on the 21^st.  This is an agitating new moon since it lines up with Uranus. Expect global tension and really bad weather.  But then the month ends with a really creative lineup of Venus in Taurus conjunct Uranus and both in an angle to Mars.  Wow. Expect unexpected resolutions and breakthroughs.

This is a big energetic change where our values of caring for others will be prominent—thank god!  But the Virgo full moon lines up with Pluto, and the Uranus, Saturn and Pluto actions this month make for a lot of power struggles and repression all over the world.
