More Of Today’s Forecast

If you enjoy surprises, the Cosmic pump is primed for a few good ones. The Aries Sun is about to conjunct Uranus, the planet of unexpected events, breakthroughs and awakenings. As the Moon is now passing through the relatively sedate sign of Taurus, many folks will face today’s changes with unwavering calm. You may as well stay cool, and enjoy whatever the Fates serve up. When Uranus is involved, no one is in control. The only reasonable choice is how to respond to what may be unexpected, fluid circumstances. Fortunately, the Moon forms favorable alignments with Neptune and Jupiter late in the day. Faced with uncertainty, faith empowers trusting souls to invoke their spirit guides, show compassion, shrug off adversity and have a fine evening. Moon in Aries v/c 12:00AM-2:10AM Moon enters Taurus.

Today’s Aries New Moon is in many ways the true start of the astrological year. It’s a good day to consider your intentions for the coming months. Close by inventive Uranus, this New Moon invites everyone to journey into uncharted territory, embrace the common good and begin anew. This isn’t to say there won’t be challenges. The Sun, Moon and Uranus are all at odds with Pluto, so resistance is to be expected. Habits and conventions will have to be overcome, rules changed. However, in the end visionaries and industrious, inventive folks will find a way to succeed. Make any important moves before late morning, when the Moon begins a lengthy void of course period. The remainder of the day is rather low key, better suited for flights of fancy and unwinding. Leave worldly challenges for another day. New Moon in Aries 7:24AM, Moon in Aries v/c 10:56AM-12:00AM.

This last day of the monthly lunar cycle is filled with incongruities. The early morning hours glow happily with the warmth of a lunar conjunction with Venus. After noon, an invigorating trine between the Aries Moon and Mars encourages decisive action but a grating square between the Sun and Pluto warrants caution. Bosses and other authority figures will not welcome interference. The shadowy nature of our own normally hidden subconscious could make an appearance. Be solely a witness to unpleasant feelings and behaviors and learn from them. Don’t make matters worse by lashing out in anger. Use the same energy to work on self-knowledge, understanding others and letting go of thoughts and feelings that hold you back. Moon in Pisces v/c 12:00AM-2:46AM Moon enters Aries, Sun square Pluto.

The Aries Sun’s midday trine with diligent Saturn helps keep things on point and under control. However, the waning Pisces Moon follows a different track. Starting a void of course period early this morning, the disengaged Moon allows minds to roam freely but also robs the day of needed energy. It will be easy to while away a few minutes or even hours immersed in a reverie or thinking about the past. Creative souls are in fertile territory, but change is also in the air. With Venus entering Aries at midday and Mercury arriving in Taurus this evening, deciphering symbols and hidden messages or finalizing the details of plans will take longer than expected. Be ready to negotiate and if necessary, buy time before coming to a decision. Moon in Pisces v/c 6:33AM-12:00AM, Sun trine Saturn, Venus enters Aries, Mercury enters Taurus.

Emotional and psychic sensitivities grow sharper and more profound as the Moon dives into the complex realms of Pisces. Adding an urgency to the mysterious longings of impressionable hearts and souls is a cantankerous mid-afternoon lunar square with Mars. Don’t let your responsiveness to subtle forces overwhelm your good sense. If drama isn’t your cup of tea, keep out of other peoples’ business and keep your opinions to your self. Relaxing evening escapes are encouraged. Hug a tree, smell the spring flowers, or watch the sunset. Afterwards, take in an artistically inspiring performance. With the Moon conjunct Neptune it won’t take much to feel moved, so choose something uplifting. Moon in Aquarius v/c 12:00AM-1:46AM Moon enters Pisces.

Yes, we’re living in tumultuous times but today’s stars offer a respite from the chaos. The Aquarius Moon occasions a friendly and tolerant atmosphere. Lunar aspects with Saturn, Uranus and Mercury give rise to serious conversations, even between friends who hold divergent views. In fact, connecting bridges may be repaired or, as points of agreement become clear, built from the ground up. Travel is also facilitated by an early evening lunar sextile to Mercury. As dusk becomes night the Moon begins a void of course period. Tonight’s laid back atmosphere lends itself to chilling out and getting ready for the eventful and more demanding week ahead. Moon in Aquarius v/c 7:16PM-12:00AM.

Thoughts repeatedly gravitate to whatever lies ahead. This morning, seek out the company of those who can help make your dreams come true. A fellow seeker, quixotic visionary or innovative oracle may offer timely advice. Today’s Aquarius Moon also fosters open-mindedness, as well as bonding between those who serve progressive causes. A midday lunar sextile to Mars lifts spirits and increases energy levels. Friendships thrive tonight as the Moon aligns with the Aries Sun in another supportive sextile. Enjoy your buddies and firm up commitments, while at the same time taking care not to compromise your principles. Moon in Aquarius.

Sleep can be fitful. Restless trends take us through the early morning hours but dawn brings more soothing energies. A lunar trine with Venus dominates the middle part of the day. Professional ambitions are served, as are personal relationships. This is an auspicious time to meet with bosses, mentors and elders. Love has a magical way of intruding in everyday affairs. The Capricorn Moon then begins a void of course period which lasts until well after nightfall so complete important business by early afternoon. Plan to take it easy the rest of the day. If you have the energy, an informal get together with friends can be agreeable tonight. Moon in Capricorn v/c 12:39PM-9:37PM Moon enters Aquarius.

The Last Quarter Capricorn Moon is a potent motivator this morning. With the Moon conjunct powerful Pluto, ambitions are great. However, the Aries Sun is conjunct Mercury and Uranus, dramatically increasing both energy levels and the risk of missteps. Don’t be impatient or impolite with co-workers. Stress the importance of teamwork. Under these stars, the sum of the whole is much greater than the individual parts. Keeping everyone working in harmony requires finesse, as well as clear, shared goals. Once again, I am reminded of a favorite north country road sign which stated, “He who serves best, profits most.” Put the needs of others before your own, and light the way. Be a beacon of hope! Moon in Capricorn, Last Quarter Moon in Capricorn 11:17AM, Mercury conjunct Uranus.

This morning’s void of course Sagittarius Moon causes many people to feel lethargic. Mental Mercury’s square with Pluto evokes discontent and for some, even anguish. Real or imagined slights may seem unforgivable but look for a diplomatic way out of an uncomfortable situation. Envision a satisfactory solution, planting the seeds for a peaceful, happy resolution. Mid-afternoon is the time to put plans into motion. By then the Moon is in dutiful Capricorn and the celestial climate is much better suited for taking action. Tonight is quietly conducive to putting one’s house in order. Moon in Sagittarius v/c 12:00AM-1:45PM Moon enters Capricorn.

March 29: This will be a busy day, from the morning until well after nightfall. Stretch your limits but be careful not to overcommit yourself. The Sagittarius Moon is amidst the Saturn/Jupiter square, so the temptation to take on more than is realistic is great. If you do feel maxed out, quick thinking friends and technological wizardry could come to the rescue. Mental Mercury is in a helpful trine with Saturn. This aspect aids in keeping priorities clear, schedules on track and minds focused. An after work get together can be a fun time but plan to turn in early as the Moon goes void of course well before midnight. Moon in Sagittarius v/c 9:55PM-12:00AM, Mercury trine Saturn.

Energy is abundant and enthusiasm is contagious. The irrepressible Sagittarius Moon instills the feeling that life is a great adventure, to be experienced passionately. A lunar conjunction with Mars leads many people to float big ideas and emphatically proclaim their political and spiritual beliefs. New leaders may emerge, but being loud doesn’t guarantee wisdom or accuracy. Everyone is entitled to their point of view. With passions running high, it’s folly to expect all to agree. The Moon’s evening trine with the Aries Sun keeps things running smoothly and swiftly along. However, late night travelers are advised to be careful. A lunar square with Neptune increases the risk of bad judgment and poor weather. Play it safe. Moon in Scorpio v/c 12:00AM-2:46AM Moon enters Sagittarius.

From the wee hours of the morning until midnight the Scorpio Moon is void of course. The low key atmospherics are enjoyable, and leave lots of space for relaxed contemplation. Memories come flooding back, perhaps in dreams, just before dawn. There may also be hints at how to best organize and prepare to reach future goals. Pay attention to those visions and early musings. The quiet mood holds throughout the day. Today’s events will most likely lack staying power so avoid return trips to the store and put off major purchases and decisions for now. It’s a perfect day for exploring inner space, researching life’s mysteries and leisurely strolling in parks. Moon in Scorpio v/c 3:25AM-12:00AM.

Dawn breaks with the Aries Sun in an energizing trine to Mars. Eager beavers and workout devotees are in their element, fired up and charged to meet challenges and have record-breaking performances. The morning has a softer side, too. Loving Venus is in a healing sextile with Pluto, and the Scorpio Moon finds harmony with mystical Neptune. Affections are reciprocated, reveries are pleasant. Beauty and wonder are everywhere. If you stop to smell the flowers or chat with a neighbor, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. The evening social scene is a good one, filled with witty remarks, pithy observations and lots of love. Jump in, participate and be entertained. Moon in Scorpio, Sun trine Mars, Venus sextile Pluto.

Important astrological changes are under way. Beliefs and loyalties are tested as Saturn in Sagittarius begins a retrograde that lasts into August. Void of course this morning, the Moon passes from Libra into Scorpio during the mid-afternoon. The two primary partnering signs are highlighted while Venus, the planet of love and affection, is at odds with both Jupiter and Saturn. Expectations may exceed reality, leading to a change of heart or even a parting of ways. If you have been wrestling with a momentous decision, wait until later in the day to make up your mind. Today’s choices have, in their certain finality, long term impact. Moon in Libra v/c 12:00AM-2:09PM Moon enters Scorpio, Saturn retrograde, Venus opposite Jupiter, Venus square Saturn.

While certain tensions ease after yesterday’s eclipse of the Full Moon, the skies remain busy. The Libra Moon helps foster a productive climate this morning with a sextile to Saturn. This early part of the day is likely to be the most fertile. By noontime a lunar square with Pluto sets off a round of jockeying for power, prestige and position. Matters are further complicated by the Moon’s late afternoon opposition with unpredictable Uranus. Use tact with ornery types. Some people and situations are best avoided. Fortunately, mental Mercury is in a harmonizing trine with Mars. Quick thinking and decisive action can head off some crises. Do what you can to maintain peace and harmony but don’t surrender your principles or self-respect. Moon in Libra v/c 4:55PM-12:00AM, Mercury trine Mars.

It’s Full Moon Fever, with complications. The Libra “Worm” Moon is full at 8:01AM EDT. The opposing Sun in Aries is conjunct mental Mercury. Mental faculties can be razor sharp one moment and lacking in objectivity the next. Expansive Jupiter is also forming an exact square to serious Saturn this morning, fueling a need to be tough as nails and take advantage of opportunities. If an offer is on the table, take time to sort through the myriad details, expectations and requirements. Because the Moon is eclipsed there are likely to be overlooked elements or facts that have yet to come to light. Finalizing a deal will take longer than expected. Moon in Virgo v/c 12:00AM-1:23AM Moon enters Libra, Full Moon in Libra 8:01AM (Lunar Eclipse), Jupiter square Saturn, Sun conjunct Mercury.

The almost Full Virgo Moon is void of course this entire day. Unlike most void of course Moon periods, which are unfocused and laid back, the closeness of tomorrow morning’s Full Moon keeps the day buzzing along. The pressure to succeed, do an excellent job and prove one’s mettle is incredibly great, as Jupiter and Saturn are nearly in an exact square. Don’t be too hard on yourself, or critical of others. The strain of overworking can take a toll on one’s health so know when it is that you’ve done your share or reached your limit. Moon in Virgo v/c 12:00AM-12:00AM.

Today’s diligent Virgo Moon is paired with Jupiter and part of a tough six planet T-square configuration, degree of difficulty, extremely high. With the Moon almost full, this is going to be a high energy, arduous day, filled with potential. Put your psychological understanding and spiritual knowledge to good use. Maturity, patience and forgiveness are called for. So is hard work. Translate your inspired ideas, altruistic tendencies and hard won skills into feats of strength, endurance and beauty. Great advances on one’s spiritual path are within reach. Serve others, a cherished ideal or worthy cause, and feel blessed. Moon in Virgo v/c 11:54PM-12:00AM, Mercury enters Aries.

Happy Spring! We have made it through another winter and this first day of the new season may feel like the answer to a prayer. Loving Venus is conjunct Neptune, a truly heavenly confection and harbinger of love in all its many dreamy manifestations. The morning, when courting is best, moves slowly as the Moon languishes void of course in Leo. By mid-afternoon, with the waxing Moon now in Virgo, many folks gain a second wind. However, the late day Moon is at odds with cantankerous Mars. The fiery red planet is in outspoken Sagittarius. This is not the evening to push political or religious beliefs on opponents or skeptics. Leave contentious talk for a time when minds are more receptive. Moon in Leo v/c 12:00AM-1:39PM Moon enters Virgo, Sun enters Aires (Spring Equinox) 12:31AM, Venus conjunct Neptune.

This final day of the astrological year presents divergent dynamics. The Sun is about to exit Pisces, the super sensitive, moody, yet fabulously creative Sign of the Fishes. One fish looks to the past, the other ahead to the future. But before anyone can wax too poetic or be consumed by regrets, a fire sign Grand Trine, courtesy of the ebullient Leo Moon, Saturn in Sagittarius and Uranus in Aries, sets hearts to beating fervently. The lunar trine with Uranus has a particularly liberating effect. Be your best version of your self. Handle responsibilities and key decisions before late afternoon, when the Moon begins to travel void of course. The evening is prime time for relaxed fun and games, and yes, some wistful reflecting. Moon in Leo v/c 4:43PM-12:00AM.

During the predawn hours the Moon enters Leo, where she fires up smiles and passions. Some folks are content to enjoy and celebrate everyday routines. Others, owing to a lunar trine to Mars in Sagittarius, feel primed for a great adventure, a search for truth or a lively debate about the state of the world. Amidst the joyful din of the day there is also reason for reflection. The late Pisces Sun is evidence that the end of the astrological year is upon us. In two days a fresh turn of the Zodiacal wheel begins. Don’t be surprised to find emotions bubbling up at odd or inconvenient times. There are many reasons for boldly making merry today, but sensitivity, mystery, and nostalgia also occupy treasured places in a well-lived life. Moon in Cancer vc/ 12:09AM-3:54AM Moon enters Leo.

Be extra attentive to your surroundings this morning. Don’t rush during the commute. The Cancer Moon’s challenging aspects to Pluto and Uranus increase the odds of costly mistakes and accidents. Breathe! A detour or schedule change could be in the offing. Things calm down well before midday. Life feels less frantic and more composed during the afternoon. Meetings and social gatherings are friendly. Hosts are gracious and accommodating. Sentimental streaks are also on display tonight as the watery Moon, now waxing, and Pisces Sun form a congenial trine aspect. Moon in Cancer.

Retrograding Jupiter slides into a second trine with Pluto today, inspiring practical steps towards success. But because Jupiter is also opposing the Sun, Mercury and Neptune, some restraint is advised. Faith is strong and the potential for a major success is great but overreaching can be detrimental. Don’t get cocky and risk what you can’t afford to lose. Make sure plans are realistic. The Cancer Moon stirs hopes and arouses dreams, most noticeably during the afternoon. Hearts too are open. Follow your impulse to do good. Help out when you can. This is great day for advancing professional interests and racking up “good karma” brownie points. Moon in Cancer, Jupiter trine Pluto.
