Solar Eclipse, the 2nd in this Libra/Aries pair, is Monday, April 8th 2:21 pm ET and the Moon also meets Mercury retrogade that day

Sunday, March 31st ~ Sagittarius Moon aligns with Mercury and it looks like we'll be on the move. Lots of action and activity today. Void Moon 8:16 pm ET, on, for recovery and rest. Wear Yellow.

Monday ~ Capricorn Moon starts 12:05 am ET, and the Moon aligns with Mars in Pisces 1:49 pm ET. This could be emotionally balancing, so we become neither too complacent nor too bold. The sense of wanting to accomplish something may be tempered as Mercury retrograde starts 6:14 pm ET, in Aries. Short term and flexible plans are called for. Sun/Moon square tonight reminds us not to rush, to balance action with pause, and listening with asserting our opinions. Today's color is Blue.

Tuesday ~ Capricorn Moon aligns with Saturn in Pisces, Jupiter and also Uranus in Taurus. Certain things will occur seemingly quickly even though they've been in progress for a while. Life decisions may be required but also require ability to revise in May. Do a monthly type plan and agree to reconvene later this spring. Business plans may come together, for the short term more than long term. Mercury and the Moon are square just after midnight into Wednesday, so if something hits you the 'wrong way', things could get emotionally amplified. Aim for calm conversations and avoid known triggers. Black is today's color.

Wednesday ~ Moon square to Mercury, yet aligning with Venus and Neptune, the romance planets. It's a likely and prime time for a date or reconnection. The past may come up in dreams, especially past lovers and friends. Venus and Neptune meet in Pisces at 9:10 am ET, also enhancing creative work and daydreams. Sketch your ideas.  At 5:08 am ET, the Moon moves to Aquarius and meets Pluto. The internal climate is what's important today. How you feel and what you are realizing colors everything. Do not be co-erced into anything that goes against inner wisdom. Wear Turquoise.

Thursday ~ Getting close to our Solar Eclipse, the atmosphere may reflect that. There could be a sense of anticipation or nervous anxiety. You may not know why. Stubborn traits and thoughts come up, yet also some things may go very quickly and readily as the Moon aligns with the Sun in action oriented Aries. The attitude may be to just 'go for it', what do you have to lose, for example. Just make sure that's ok with you, if it doesn't work out exactly as envisioned. Otherwise, if it must be a certain way, wait. Venus moves to Aries at midnight tonight, and newness is a craving. In love, people may feel impulsive and feel strongly drawn into a new relationship. Wear Pink.

Friday ~ Venus is now in Aries and the Moon wanes until Monday's eclipse. Revisions may be on our minds. Remember Mercury is also retrograde. Some things will not become clear or ready until after the New Moon. Try to take it slow, and steady yourself. Void Moon in Aquarius 1:40 to 7:13 am ET, and then shifting to Pisces for the weekend. Stay sensitive to your own feelings and realize others may need that same treatment. It's a vulnerable time. Wear Light Blue.

Saturday ~ All aspects are harmonious today, so though we are in a vulnerable time, with an eclipse approaching, today you may find the flow, go forward with plans, be kind to each other along the way, and do your best to make the best of life. Be neither overly accomodating nor overly stubborn. Blend structure and flexibility. Take a balanced approach. Venus and Pluto align for partnership and relationship realizations. Notice how you feel with that person or that group of people, and again do not override your intuition and inner voice. Trust in your own wisdom. Today's color is Purple.

LUNAR ECLIPSE IN LIBRA/ARIES ~ ASTROLOGY FOR MARCH 24TH-APRIL 6TH, 2024

Sunday ~ Virgo to Libra Moon, the sign of the lunar eclipse on Monday at 3:00 am ET. The Moon starts in Virgo and opposes Neptune. This might be misleading or confusing in nature. Do less as void Moon begins 11:49 am ET. The high point of the day is Venus aligning with Jupiter, very beneficially, potentially helping out with matters of love and prosperity. I like this for moving past limiting beliefs about how good or grand or beautiful something can be. Libra Moon aligns with Pluto this evening for quiet contemplation and tuning into inner wisdom. Avoid too many voices and opinions influencing your decisions as the Moon moves to Full overnight. Libra Moon 4:37 pm on. Eclipses bring sharp turns and out of the blue opportunities, changes and in this case relationship eventfulness. Wear Lavender today.

Monday ~ Lunar Eclipse 3:00 am ushers in eclipse season, which is in effect through early May, one month after the Solar Eclipse of April 8th. This pair of eclipses in Libra/Aries relates to we in contrast to me, the needs of partners vs the needs of the self, and may bring up anything related to partnership, sharing, self centered or self absorbed tendencies, beginnings and changes of course, seeing outside of one's own needs and wants, for examples. Pluto is the planet most closely aligned to this eclipse, and Pluto brings things out of the shadows and delves into what's been kept secret or below the surface. Pluto is transformational. Notice what's transforming between you and someone else or within yourself. Sudden closures and pressing decisions may be part of this. What can wait no longer will show itself within days of the eclipse. It may not be today, and the next four to six weeks are brimming with shifts. Invite calm and clarity in your intentions and actions as much as humanly possible. Today's color is White.

Full Moon Eclipse Yoga Nidra is sold out. 

Next month, we have a Reiki and Tea Circle for Pink Moon on Saturday the 20th, a Full Moon Yoga Nidra on the 21st, and an Abundance workshop called Manifesting with the Goddess also on Sunday the 21st.

Maximize your Full Moons, New Moons and eclipse season www.leapingwatersyoga.com

Tuesday ~ This day after Full Moon could be more eventful than the eclipse date itself. The Moon opposes Mercury regarding anything to do with decisions and agreements. Mercury is close to retrograde and it's not a prime time for a permanent decision. Leave yourself loopholes and flexibility to change course later, and be mindful with your words and what you agree to. Arguments or disagreements may flare up. Misunderstandings could easily throw things off. Listen as much as you speak. Void Moon 7:09 pm on accentuates all of this. Keep the night simple. Today's color is Blue.

Wednesday ~ Scorpio Moon from 5:03 am ET changes the vibe a bit, but intensity remains high. The Moon squares Pluto. This feels to me like minding our own business and not trying to control someone else's. Stay focused on your own emotions and priorities. Mars aligns with the Moon and though they are in harmony, I feel this could trigger strong emotions of any kind including anger or jealousy and competitiveness. Some may also experience passive aggression. Avoid being very heated, amped up, or agitated. Do cooling, calming things such as meditation, music, art, even housecleaning if it helps you move restless or agitated energy. Today's color is Indigo.

Thursday ~ Scorpio Moon, serious in tone with a trine to Saturn. Today means business, reality checks, and actions backed with passion. Jupiter and Uranus oppose the Moon throwing new energy into the mix and asking how we will accept the challenges associated with change. Venus aligns with Uranus and the Moon, so they are the influencers. This means radical, abrupt, out of nowhere, quick response needed, and love and partnership are the main areas of influence. Sudden feelings are in the forecast. Today's color is Black.

Friday ~ Scorpio Moon in harmony with Neptune is a bit softer, relates to creativity and dreams, and is a reminder that not all is as it appears on the surface. Look beyond and use your instincts. Void Moon begins 11:40 am ET and moves to Sagittarius time at 3:52 pm ET. Sag Moon aligns with Pluto and encourages exploring and examining philosophies of life. Are you living the life you want? What could move you in that direction? How is honesty and truth involved in these questions? Today's color is Purple. 

Saturday ~ Sagittarius Moon in harmony with the Sun for adventure and bursting with newness and change. However, there are also two lunar squares, with Saturn and Mars both in Pisces. Those two planets can both be challenging in their own ways. Feelings could be injured easily. Some people may approach things brashly or insensitively. Approach with love and sensitivity, and recognize the serious nature of what's happening. Wear Rose Red such as pink shades of red today.

Sunday/Easter (bonus cause I wrote ahead by mistake) ~ Now we are between two eclipses and the Moon is waning. Sagittarius Moon may lead to travels, getting out of routine or comfort zones, reasons to study or gather information, and because of a square to Venus may also point out where compromise is called for in personal life. Mercury in Aries is on the cusp of retrograde and there's a push pull for whether to wait or act on things.It's more astrologically sound to wait a month or so before taking major, long term action. The impulse to travel and change the scenery is likely to be strong today. Agendas may not go as planned. Surprises may end up working out well. Void Moon 8:16 pm on. I wouldn't expect people or plans to be reliable tonight. Wear Light Blue.

Sunday ~ Light Green for today as the Moon moves to Cancer at 5:40 am ET, & the Sun meets Neptune in Pisces. Today embodies all qualities of the water signs, such as intuition, emotional sensitibity, and artistic sensibility. Follow your dreams. Be good to yourself and everyone else. Note that we are 4 years from the beginning of the pandemic and just went through a time change to Daylight Savings. All of this can bring things up that make us more vulnerable. Enjoy your St Pat's Day (sensibly :) )

Monday ~ It's the last full day of Pisces birthdays this year (can vary year to year). It's also the final 'good' day to act on things that could be impacted by Mercury retrograde, such as major purchases, announcements and decisions. Mercury retrograde starts April 1st but we move into the pre-shadow this week. Cancer Moon with mixed aspects. Keep everyone's feelings in mind to avoid defensive reactions. Family matters may take precedence. Take care of things at home. Hire any contractors or other professionals such as landscapers. Buy the boat or paddle board if that's on your agenda, or wait until mid May. Today's color is Blue.

Tuesday ~ First part of the day, Cancer Moon aligns with Neptune and the Sun, the two who met in conjunction on Sunday. More about following dreams and tuning into your feelings and heart. Do not ignore your own emotions. They have messages. It's also a highly intuitive time. Avoid overriding your instincts. From 2:52 to 3:33 pm ET there's a short void Moon and Leo Moon follows. Leo Moon opposes Pluto. We are still getting used to this monthly cycle, so see how tonight feels to you. Be self aware in groups and relationships with friends. Observe your actions and responses in relationship to others. Sun moves to Aries just after 11 pm, ET, and Spring is here officially then! Today's color is Purple.

Wednesday ~ Leo Moon and Jupiter form a square in fixed signs. This speaks of stubborn streaks and things we are too obstinate or unyielding about. Yield often leads to growth and change. Is there something you could listen to more, some wise advice or some shift that would truly make things better for you, if you could allow yourself to become 'unstuck'?  Also, look for areas where growth is called for generally and work through challenging information, studies, and even applications of some sort. Recognize what's worth the efforts. Today's color is Orange.

Thursday ~ Leo Moon with a variety of aspects that may favor communication and negotiations. There is a serious tone today as Saturn meets Venus & the Sun meets Pluto. I see hopefulness, yet also reasons to stay loyal, connected, and positive in the face of change and challenge. Some of this comes from within, such as the courage to face realities and accept our own roles and what responsibilities are ours as well. Pisces and Virgo, renew relationship commitments and promises. Aquarius and Leo, be realistic and expect intensity. Knowing this may help you be less reactive. Today's color is Gold. 

Friday ~ Leo Moon across from Mars overnight could add to intensity, motivate action or instigate anger or competitiveness. Notice how this applies in your own life. Back down or amp up as needed for balanced interactions. Virgo Moon starts 3:42 am ET. Our relationship with fixing and trying to make things better will be obvious today. This may help with temporary solutions. If you're overdoing, can you see that too and moderate? We do need to let people be empowered by figuring things out on their own. In other words, try to be helpful yet not enable or steal their confidence. Wear Brown.

Saturday ~ Virgo Moon with varied aspects. Here's what I think you'll notice and find relevant. Emotional and relationship matters require compromise and willingness to listen and agree/problem solve. There are opportune moments related to both personal/emotional and to external/employment situations. Surprising changes lead to new possibilities to follow and consider. Find the opportunity or synchronicity even in something totally unplanned for. The Moon is close to Full and it's lunar eclipse time, so anything goes and sudden shifts are in the air. Today's color is Indigo.

NEW MOON IN PISCES ~ ASTROLOGY FOR MARCH 10TH-16TH, 2024

Experience deeper healing through major changes

Try not to assume anything, including your own feelings

Engage in soul retrieval, inviting your whole self back

Sunday, March 10th ~ New Moon in Pisces 5:00 am ET, just after Uranus was in sextile with the Moon, and hours before the Moon meets Neptune. There's a quality of rapid and surprising change that may affect us on an emotional and soul level. Believe in your dreams and avoid diminishing someone else's. Notice the magic in simple experiences as well as in extra-ordinary ones. This New Moon may bring unexpected opportunities of any sorts. Gemini may find it to be career oriented while Sagittarius may find this is about home life and family changes. Pisces, can you find a sense of opening and release of what's stuck or keeping you sad or dissatisfied. Where there is invitation, there are ways and responses. If there's an abrupt change, give yourself time to adjust and sort out your true feelings. At 8:19 pm ET, the Moon moves to Aries, aligning with Pluto and meeting Mercury. Decisions and clarity may come quickly. Today's color is White.

Monday ~ Aries Moon, a continuation of last night's forecast. Re read Sunday. Venus moves to Pisces at 5:50 pm. It's a softer, sensitive and compassionate place for the planet of love. This also favors artists and creators of all kinds. Venus stays in Pisces until April 4th (and by then Mercury will be retrograde). Today's color is Pink.

Tuesday ~ Aries Moon aligns with Mars at 7:00 am ET for a 'make it happen' kind of day. It's also a good day for an adventure with friends and active work in groups. Voif Moon 7:08 am to 8:28 pm ET and the Moon shifts to earthy Taurus and aligns with Venus for comfort and compassion. Ask for help or help out a friend. The Moon also squares Pluto, which may lead to some difficult reflection or realization. You may find your self thinking hard about something. Also try letting solutions come when you're not trying at all. In other words, step back and rest and see what manifests. Today's color is Brown. (I especially like the earth tone brown reds like terra cotta today)

Wednesday ~ Taurus Moon meets Jupiter and aligns with Saturn. 3 words: Opportunity, Prosperity, Commitment. Green is today's color. 

Thursday ~ Light Blue is today's color. Taurus Moon meets activating Uranus, aligns with the Sun and Neptune in creative Pisces, and squares Mars in Aquarius. Autonomy will be appreciated and interference will not. Creative processes and building are favored. Group dynamic could be challenging. What does it feel like to follow your heart and if something is interfering, what is that and how could it be shifted gently? Void Moon 6:29 pm to 11:16 pm ET, and we move into Gemini Moon vibes focused on how we communicate. Light Blue.

Friday ~ Gemini Moon with a variety of aspects. Reliability and clear communication are two things to focus on, as both a received and imparter of words, services and information. Saturn asks for emotional commitment and where that doesn't exist, extend awareness to what that means. Mercury in Aries aligns with the Moon for agreements and meetings of the minds. Wear Yellow.

Saturday ~ Gemini Moon in harmony with Mars in Aquarius for a social day, great for events and active engagement. If you're not feeling outgoing today, find a placce to hide and write or read, two Gemini specialties. Have a party, do something spontaneous, get together on a special mission, and share stories and ideas today. Feed your soul with some good people energy. Wear Turquoise. 

Sunday, March 17th color is Light Green if  you're planning ahead. 

Thanks for reading and following along

I'm on air at WMPG Wed 2:30-4 pm each week and this week it'll be Irish inspired rock, of course.

Pisces Season & New Moon March 3rd-9th, 2024

New Moon Sound Bath with Rachel Rivera Sunday, March 10th 5:30-6:45 pm

Ocean St South Portland, Maine

Register at Leaping Waters Aerial Yoga Spa

Sunday~ Sagittarius Moon for travels, learning and studies of life and experience. Venus square Uranus could lead to relationship breakthroughs, either personal or in group dynamics. Effort is called for though, as this may not be an easy shift or lesson. Truth and trust are themes today. Our color is Purple.

Monday ~Sagittarius Moon square to Neptune, a monthly occurrence. Again, tune into trust and truth and use your instincts about people and situations. Something that comes across as questionable probably is. Mercury aligns with Uranus for a continuation of yesterday's potential breakthroughs, and takes it to the next level with meetings, conversations and possible solutions and agreements, including contracts and plans in place. Think out of the ordinary and try something quite different from before, if you are problem solving. Void Moon 10:41 am to 4:15 pm ET. Today's color is Blue, and the Moon shift to Capricorn at 4:15 pm ET for a productive and perhaps focused night. Work, study, clean, exercise and organize. 

Tuesday ~ Capricorn Moon aligns with Jupiter, Saturn, and the Sun. This favors prosperity, employment and other life decisions, and getting things accomplished. You could get on a roll with both work and personal matters this week. It's a good time to do things before spring's Mercury retrograde next month. Wear Green today.

Wednesday ~ Capricorn Moon in harmony with Uranus overnight. This planet is the instigator for significant change, complete 180s and exactly what you didn't plan for or anticipate. Be willing to try new things and release old patterns and ways of thinking in order to grow. Mercury aligns with the Moon this morning, so this may relate to how you communicate and solve problems. Neptune also aligns for a good mix of earth and water sensibilities, both practical and backed by feeling. Void Moon 2:35 pm to 9:54 pm ET when the Moon enters Aquarius. Today's color is Silver.

Thursday ~ Aquarius Moon square to Jupiter in Taurus. Get past stubborn blocks and sense where yielding would really help a situation resolve. Simultaneously, stay true to your wisdom and beliefs. Be willing to work toward consensus and blend ideas that at first seem contradictory. Wear Light Green.

Friday ~ The Moon is waning toward dark Moon, the New Moon arrives on Sunday. This can be a time for rethinking and for release of the old and inviting new energy. Meditate and contemplate what  you feel is best and most appropriate right now. See what needs to go in order for fresh energy to rush in. The Moon and Mars align, which is activating and that can go either way. Maybe it motivates or maybe it aggravates. Possibly, both feelings are present. Try not to over criticize and judge others. See where there are openings for working together and as teams. Uranus squares the Moon, again inviting more alternative or wild ideas and approaches, if you are willing to explore these. Mercury and Neptune signal a  highly creative time. The shadow side is this could be deception, smoke and mirrors. Feel for what's true. The Moon and Venus meets in Aquarius for positive relationships and getting along. Void Moon from 1:56 pm to 8:03 pm ET, so get things done earlier in the day. Then consider relaxation and get togethers with friends. Wear Light Blue.

Saturday ~ Pisces Moon in conjunction with serious Saturn and in harmony with expansive Jupiter. Growth is favored, and commitment called for. Mars squares Uranus which for one thing can signal accidents or something volatile. Err on the cautious side. Earthquake or other storm could be a metaphor and the Tower tarot card comes to mind. The Sun and Uranus align, which leans this more positive and could lead to a surprising change and announcement of that news. New Moon is at 5:00 am ET on Sunday, and Daylight Savings time begins overnight as well. Today's color is Black.
