Weekly March 28th

Monday

The Moon moves to Aquarius at 7:00 am EST. Today is a mixed, potentially complex day with the Aries Sun squaring Pluto questioning who should be in charge and bringing up other points we disagree on. The Aquarius Moon works with Uranus in Aries, so we'll think and respond quickly, with inspired ideas, but also a sense of rebellion and willingness to throw caution to the wind. The we have a significant opposition between Jupiter and Saturn, with quite opposite influences in the first place. Jupiter wants fresh, open minded attitudes and experiences while Saturn attempts to structure or restrict. Expect today to be full of conflicting pulls, influences, and personalities. With the Aquarius Moon be in the moment but with an eye toward what's ahead. Today go ahead and act on opportunities and plans, but try to be realistic with expectations. That's the best way to work with Saturn's strong pull and avoid disappointment. Wear turquoise blue.

Tuesday

The Moon is in Aquarius, and today is very much a continuation of yesterday with Jupiter and Saturn's opposition still impacting us as Saturn also aligns with the Moon. Stay realistic and not overly optimistic. Be logical, have a plan, and expect to have to do the right thing. Obligations and things that weigh on us play a part today, but it's possible to work with it rather than against those forces and be pleased with the outcome. Be reasonable and fair above all else. Aries and Libra host the Jupiter/Saturn action, and it affects these two signs in relationships and partnerships where situations may need working on and working out. Aquarius, Sagittarius and Gemini in particular use very good judgment with acquaintances and friends. If you put too much faith or stake in someone now you could be let down. Aquarius Moon favors long term decisions and implications so know what you're getting into early this week. The Moon in harmony with Jupiter favors keeping options open. Tonight is the last night before Mercury retrogrades for a few weeks, and running into old friends or rivals becomes more likely. Wear yellow.

Wednesday

Mercury retrograde begins at 4:48 pm. This retrograde in Aries may put on a hold on things you feel you've just begun, including business, relationships, and anything initiated in the past few weeks. Being patient is probably the best plan. If we push too hard with Mercury retrograde we won't get the desired result anyway. Aries will feel this directly while Libra may experience communication issues in love and relationship. Sagittarius gets the benefit of reconnecting with old friends. Aquarius, returning to places like childhood homes or former haunts or vacation places is in the forecast for you. The Moon is in Aquarius today until 6:38 pm with only minutes void of course. Mercury, the planet of communication, our vehicles, and our schedules, is the major player today and may muck with what we thought was said and done. So keep a flexible attitude. Tonight the Pisces Moon puts us in the mood to reconnect, watch movies and otherwise escape recent reality. Wear green.

Thursday

The Moon is in Pisces, void of course from 9:44 am until Saturday at 7:16 am! This is an extra long void of course Moon time and is not suited to any kind of major decision or activity, particularly with Mercury retrograde too! It's a time to let go and just let things take their course. The Moon meets Venus for a beautiful set up, so if you can just relax and do enjoyable things, that's ideal. It's a day for romance, creative pursuits, and getting things in perfect harmony. Improve something or make it more beautiful, but effortlessly. If you have to push, it's not worth
it. Take it easy on yourself and other people and do keep some boundaries. We can be very forgiving but can also be taken advantage of on days like this. Wear light blue.

Friday

This is truly April Fool like in the sense there are no planetary aspects, the Moon is void of course, Mercury is retrograde, and we're about to have a New Moon. Today is a floating sort of transitional or "lost" day. It's best not to take anything important on! The less done or scheduled the better unless it's just simply enjoying time with friends or other leisurely activities. Go with the flow. Don't make promises or believe too readily. Today is good for spiritual, musical, artistic, or metaphysical pursuits. Intuition is strong and psychic or otherworldly experiences are likely! Expect out of the blue or unusual occurrences. Wear blue.

Saturday

Mars moves into Aries and meets the Moon there at 7:43 am. It's a very dynamic but confrontational conjunction. Watch out for tempers. On the other hand if you need a burst of motivation and drive, this may help get you going. The Moon also meets Uranus so some new situations will come by surprise. Shake ups are in the forecast today, and with a New Moon arriving tomorrow it's time to start fresh or at least try something new without commitment while Mercury is retrograde. Venus and Pluto have us facing our innermost fears and relationship concerns too, but with a eye toward working things out for the best. Tonight is a wild Aries Moon Saturday. Wear red.

Sunday

There's a New Moon in Aries and extremes dominate the zodiac. Aries energy pushes for the new and exciting while Mercury is retrograde bringing up the past and making a trial basis best. Mars meets Uranus in a combustible conjunction where most anything could happen, shaking things up, in some cases wildly and unexpectedly. Rebelliousness prevails and the status quo is due for a breakdown. Saturn across the zodiac urges caution and wisdom, yet it may not be enough to stop us from impulsive moves. Today reminds me of a father and son at odds with different points of view, attempting to please each other or reach some kind of consensus. There may be a battle or some backlash to go along with an Aries New Moon attempting to inspire change. Take it slow. Wear your crash helmet. Today's color is white.

Weekly March 21

Monday

This is a very fiery Monday as the Sun and Uranus meet, newly in Aries. The Libra Moon air feeds Aries fire from across the zodiac, and the Moon later moves to Scorpio at 3:17 pm EST. The Sun and Uranus want to overthrow everything in order to start a new game! Uranus is rebellious, the Sun is expressive. We'll tend to be vocal, assertive if not aggressive, and push for what we want. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius may be most in their element, but Pisces can use this to aggressively seek new work opportunities and Cancer is a show stopper demanding attention for his abilities and talents. Taurus will tend to feel more mentally fired up and also go the health conscious route now, and Scorpio will probably feel a strong urge to change up and improve routines, as well as feel very much in demand and busy at work. The Moon works with Venus and Neptune in Aquarius for networking opportunities and friendship. Aquarius and Gemini are favored for all social plans and strong connections with friends and allies. The Scorpio Moon tonight works with Pluto in Capricorn and personal business takes priority and focus. Wear maroon.

Tuesday

The Moon is in secretive and private Scorpio. Respect others' wishes and don't overstep boundaries today. Scorpio Moon brings out intuition. Trust your own judgment, tread a bit lightly, and take care of personal business. It's also a decent day for conservative business decisions and working out plans. Scorpio can be obsessive or extreme on many levels, so we'll tend to go all the way with what we take on. Where you put your focus is really important today because if you dwell on the negative or analyze too heavily the result can be depressive. Take on a project that needs deep thought, attention, and time. The Moon approaches a trine to Mars in Pisces and adds an artistic angle to the evening. Think beyond your usual routine or limitations. Find another use for something, brainstorm ideas, and find your muse. Wear indigo blue.

Wednesday

The Moon moves through Scorpio and into Sagittarius today. At 4:08 pm EST we have a short void of course Moon before it's the sign of the Archer at 4:45. Personal matters, friendship, relationship, and even close collaborative efforts are likely to struggle, hit potential stuck points, and require negotiation as the Scorpio Moon squares Venus and Neptune in almost equally stubborn Aquarius. Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo and Taurus are most affected in long term relationship and partnership matters today. After the Moon enters Sagittarius things may lighten up, however the surprise effect is enhanced and in some cases this will stir things up! Changes of scene, plans, or companions is in the forecast tonight. A go with the flow attitude is best. Leo, Sagittarius, Aquarius and Libra are tonight's social butterflies. Focus may be a challenge! Wear purple.

Thursday

The Moon is in free spirited Sagittarius, in harmony with Jupiter and Saturn. Make the most of these beneficial aspects by putting structure to good ideas. It's a day of change, opportunity, learning through experiences, and even good fortune. Leo and Sagittarius may be the luckiest this week with Moon, Sun, and planets in the right places. Pisces and Virgo are set for good business decisions and opportunities too. Gemini, your friends may be everything to you right now, and that includes mixing friendship with love or with work. Make good connections and make the most of your relationships today. Libra and Aries, it's a good day to send out information or break news. The Sagittarius Moon urges us to be free and open, and continues through most of tomorrow. Wear red.

Friday

The Moon is in Sagittarius until 9:57 pm EST. There's a fiery streak to the day as the Moon squares Mars in Pisces. Emotions are the most likely thing to flare but this also sparks change. Changes of heart and altering course are in the forecast today. For Gemini, it's about career and relationship. For Sagittarius, home, family and personal choices. Virgo feels this more indirectly but in regard to family, partners and relationships. Other than this square, the planets Venus, Neptune and Mercury harmony with the Moon for adventures, good feelings and a sense of freedom.
Tonight is full of the unexpected. Look in places other than the usual. Be open to possibility. The Moon is Moon is void of course from 9:25 to 9:57 pm then moves to more earth bound Capricorn. Wear green.

Saturday

The 4th quarter Moon is in Capricorn. This last quarter is always a time of reconsidering and getting ready for new plans. Capricorn is a sign that strives for progress and values productivity. Aim for tangible results this weekend whether you're doing spring cleaning and developing a business plan. Two conjunctions dominate the weekend as the Moon meets Pluto which brings up the past for resolution and the hidden is often exposed. Sometimes this is a great challenge as we attempt to deal with things we want to brush aside. Venus meets Neptune in Aquarius which is both visionary and in some cases romantic. Aquarius, Leo and Libra experience the romance and friendship aspect most. Photographers, environmentalists, and other scientists can make the most of the visionary aspect with an eye for the present and future possibilities. Let go of assumptions and restrictions today. Wear blue.

Sunday

Venus moves to Pisces where the planet of love and beauty is more loving, forgiving, and also very creative through April 21st. Pisces, this is your time to attract relationship or positive attention of any kind. Virgo, this helps with long term partnerships in either love or business. Scorpio, romance and friendships are heightened, and Taurus it's a great time for making friends and enjoying good times with the ones you already have. The Moon is in Capricorn forming squares that makes us work hard for what we want or need to accomplish. It's a nose to the grindstone, work oriented Sunday. Rethinking plans and rescheduling and dealing with organizational and management issues including time management and things like missed deadlines in the forecast. It's a good day to stop procrastinating. Wear black.

Weekly March 14th

Monday
This is the last week of winter! The Spring Equinox is next Sunday at 7:21 pm. Today the Moon is in Cancer. It's a good time to start seedlings indoors, work around the house, clean, and take care of things around the house. In business, it's a conservative day as the Moon forms squares with Mercury (communication & planning), Jupiter (growth), and Saturn (discipline & wisdom). Working through things slowly is better than taking a quick plunge. Know what you're getting into! Moods and actions may lean toward demanding or self centered. We need to be understanding without being taken advantage of. Know your limits with people. Tonight Venus is square to Saturn really stirring up partnership discussions, problems or issues. Take a sane approach. Saturn in Libra is logical, but the Moon in Cancer is emotional and can be very dramatic. If need be, do the Venus in Aquarius thing and take a step back or wait it out. Leo, Aquarius, Libra and Aries are most impacted in the relationships parts of the chart. Wear blue.

Tuesday
The Moon is void of course from 6:05 am to 3:33 pm EST before moving into Leo. Those hours are best for routine rather than initiating new things or making big decisions. It's a good day to clean and re-organize, attend to things you set aside, pay bills, and spend time with family or friends. If you're working or in school, it could be difficult to focus or finish projects. The Leo Moon is in harmony with Uranus in Aries and Mercury meets Jupiter in that same sign tonight. This motivates us and really favors anything new! If you're trying to break out of a pattern, the Aries energy provides some impulse and inspiration. New approaches, fresh ideas and a different attitude is the way to go tonight and this week! Aries, Sagittarius and Leo fire up under these aspects. You'll want them on your team! Cancer, these Aries actions are very good for career! Pisces, look for new work or refresh the position you're in. Scorpio, change your routines for the better while the aspects are just right! Wear gold.

Wednesday
The Moon is in Leo aligned nicely with planets in Aries and Libra. Whether you need structure or need a fire lit under you, it works! Act on ideas and get plans in place. Leo Moon time is creative but with a purpose and favors longevity and commitment. What you take on or act on now has long term impact so do take it seriously (Saturn's influence), but it should be easy to have fun and be optimistic at the same time! Enthusiasm is the key word! Leo is a quick study, and today and tonight are good for learning new material and rehearsing or memorizing. It's also a good night socially, though the Moon is opposite Venus which can put us on different sides with those we love or collaborate with. Creative differences are in the forecast tonight, but if you can meet in the middle, things could work out better than anything you'd accomplish alone! Opposites will attract. Wear red.

Thursday
The Moon is in festive Leo for St Patty's Day! If you're not celebrating, today is still a good time for long term decisions, studies, and creative endeavors. If you are celebrating, the daytime hours and Leo Moon are most favorable until near 5pm. The Moon is opposite Neptune, the planet of illusion, encouraging us to forget problems for a while. Performances and games are also Leo Moon territory, and it's a day suited more to play than work. The Moon moves to Virgo at 4:53 pm EST after less than an hour void of course. The Virgo Moon brings us back to earth a bit, and the Full Moon coming on Saturday brings deadlines. If you have to study or get work done, tonight is a good night for it. Taurus should feel the creative spark, and Capricorn, reach beyond your usual limits for learning and opportunities late this week. The astrological color is navy blue. Wear some with your green today!

Friday
The Moon is in Virgo, and there are two oppositions impacting us. The Moon opposes Mars and Mercury is Aries is opposite Saturn. The potential for aggravations, problems with previously planned or scheduled events, and personal confrontations are all part of this. The Moon is Full tomorrow, so things bubble up and explode more easily, including tempers and other emotions. This is a day to stay sane and grounded and try not to overreact. A few deep breaths before acting or responding may go a long way today. During Virgo Moon time it feels good to get things cleaned up and organized. There are inevitable deadlines and pressures in the forecast. Take a practical, hands on, Virgo attitude. Tonight is potentially confrontational so tread lightly. Wear black.

Saturday
It's an eventful weekend with a Full Moon today and the Spring Equinox tomorrow. The Moon is Full in Virgo at 2:10 pm and moves to Libra at 4:03 pm. The Virgo Full Moon is generally adaptable and practical, which is helpful since Uranus is nearly opposite the Moon bringing out her extreme, rebellious and surprising sides. Going into situations with the attitude that anything could happen is probably the best plan. Being fixed on one outcome is not the way to go. Virgo is health conscious and tends toward serving others and the community. Taking those kinds of actions makes sense now. Leo and Aquarius may be going through or need to adapt to financial and work changes. Virgo and Pisces experience the Full Moon personally and emotionally especially through close relationships. Taurus may get bursts of creativity or unexpected changes in luck, and along with Scorpio is likely to undergo relationship and friendship shifts. Friends could prove to be unreliable if you put too much stake in them. In fact, that may be true about everything at this Full Moon time. The old adage don't put all your eggs in one basket seems appropriate this weekend. Wear white.

Sunday
The Libra Moon, just beyond Full, stresses balance. In a weekend of astrological extremes, the Equinox arrives at 7:21 pm EST as the Sun moves to Aries. The Equinoxes, by the way, are a good explanation of why zodiac signs did NOT change, as was widely publicized in the media a couple of months back. The Equinox is the arrival of spring and the beginning of the astrological year. With much in flux at this Full Moon it might be worth considering a Full Moon recharge or restart. Go back and look at the pros and cons and reevaluate your direction or a goal. The Moon meets Saturn which can be harsh or depressing. We need most to not be unreasonably hard on ourselves and secondarily on our closest partners or significant others. Hear two sides or the other side of the story today. Do get disciplined with a worthwhile goal. Try not to be too judgmental as it would be easy to fall into that pattern or trap. Do use good sense though, and don't give the benefit of the doubt where it's not earned. Today is full of extremes. Wear lavender.

Weekly March 7

Monday
The Moon is in Aries opposite Saturn in Libra. Aries Moon is a good time for new business and initiations in general. Take well advised steps and make informed decisions today, but avoid acting on impulse. Saturn across the zodiac requires structure and justice. Be fair and impartial and avoid the me first attitude that can be a part of Aries Moon. Embark on new ventures, find new partners to work and collaborate with, and settle disputes today. If you're unstructured, without a plan or trying to push your own agenda today could be tough. Saturn is the task master and disciplinarian. Wear orange.

Tuesday
The Moon is in Aries and the early hours are good for important business and decisions. The Moon is void of course from 11:04 to 12:52 pm, so take a long lunch or break or make that cleaning and reorganizing time. The Moon and Neptune could put us in space shot mode for a couple of hours mid-day. The Moon moves to Taurus, bringing in a couple of days of long term decision making and productivity. It's Fat Tuesday and Taurus does love to indulge in good food and drink! The afternoon and night are suited to most anything. During this part of the week, close partners and collaborations are important for Scorpio to focus on. Libra, settle a relationships matter if need be. Pisces, Mercury spends his last day in your sign favoring anything you need to put in writing or make a decision on. Last week's new Moon is still favoring changes you want to make. Today's color is green.

Wednesday
It's a Taurus Moon and a very Mercury day, as Mercury meets Uranus before leaving Pisces! Things may suddenly shift! Change without preparation, sudden awareness, and surprising news is likely today! Last Friday's New Moon urged a change of course and in some cases there will be no choice. Mercury changes signs at 12:47 pm, and in Aries really revs things up in the weeks ahead. Aquarius, this activates your study and educational plans and stimulates family news. Aries, significant decisions and opportunities for change lie in late winter and early spring. Capricorn, changes and decisions regarding where you live, home and family are in the forecast for you. The Taurus Moon works with Mars stirring things up, possibly disturbing the usual flow, in order that we do something about lingering issues and stagnant situations. Tonight is suited to being productive or having long talks and extended dinners and generally making personal connections. Wear yellow.

Thursday
The Moon is in harmony with the Sun in sensual Taurus and compassionate Pisces. Strong feelings including compassion, generosity, love, and friendship are activated. There's also the industrious and creative side of this aspect, which helps us accomplish and try different alternatives to making things work. Venus and Jupiter align for good fortune and good feelings. It's a very positive day for interactions between us, and in some cases strokes of luck! Aries and Sagittarius may be feeling the luck of Jupiter, and Leo and Aquarius are favored in love and commitment. Opportunities, promises, and chance meetings are forecast for any sign. Tonight the Moon squares Neptune and we need to try to be realistic and not overly stubborn. Listen to another perspective or try someone else's suggestion. Wear pink.

Friday
The Moon is in Gemini beginning at 12:31 am, in harmony with 4 planets including Mercury and Venus. This helps with communication, planning, and relationships. Venus is in Aquarius, sign of community. Gather people around a common cause or issue. Getting energized about something might be easier if a project or plan needs a push! Jupiter in Aries says bigger and newer is better or at least more appealing right now, so upgrade, try new things, and work on expansion plans if that's where you're at. During Gemini Moon time multi-tasking is often necessary. Be prepared to act on news and information, in some cases very quickly. Tonight is social and a favorable date night for Aquarius and Sagittarius. Wear blue.

Saturday
The Moon is in Gemini. Decisions and crossroads are in the forecast as the Moon squares Mars and the Sun. Work through differences of opinion and aim for progress as the Moon reaches 2nd quarter status, between New and Full, tonight. A list of pros and cons and both sides of any story may be helpful. Saturn in Libra works with the Moon urging rational courses of action and good judgment. Bring things up for discussion and exchange ideas. Daylight Savings time begins at 2 am tomorrow! Wear light blue.

Sunday
The Moon is void of course from 9:10 to 10:26 am and shifts into Cancer. Pluto is very active in the zodiac, across from the Moon and square to Mercury. This can bring up the past, bring out secrets and, in this case, maybe fuel gossip. Be careful what you believe and clarify information before acting on it. Cancer is a nostalgic sign and with Pluto teasing the subconscious, old issues could resurface or we might just feel sentimental. Today could be moody. Getting things done at home or visiting family often feels right when the Moon is in Cancer. Wear white.
