Astrology Calendars Current

Sunday, MARCH 7

The Moon spends the day in the sign of Capricorn, harmonizing with Uranus this morning and Venus in the evening. While we’re more aware of our practical responsibilities and drawn to the tried and true, we’re open to new ways of getting things done. In fact, we enjoy making small changes that benefit our pursuits. We have a broader sense of responsibility and naturally take an inventory of our priorities today. With a Capricorn Moon, we strive for increased self-sufficiency. We’re incredibly goal-oriented and particularly aware of our responsibilities and performance. Our judgment is sound, and practical matters are a significant focus.

Monday, MARCH 8

The Moon spends the day in Capricorn, harmonizing with the Sun and Neptune and later aligning with Pluto. It’s a good day to catch some inspiration, benefit from cooperation, and connect with our drive to improve or manage our responsibilities. We’re practical yet intuitive and exceptionally resourceful.

We make an extra effort to understand others’ points of view today with Mercury and Juno in harmony. We can gain insights into our relationships and our shared and differing belief systems or perspectives.

As well, a Mars-Neptune creative aspect is brilliant for creative moves. While we’re unlikely to face them head-on, we can see the way around problems. We can be motivated to act on dreams or ideals.

The void Moon occurs from 10:58 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Mars), until the Moon enters Libra at 2:17 PM EST.

Tuesday, MARCH 9

The Moon continues its transit of Capricorn only until 2:42 AM EST when it moves into Aquarius. With the Aquarius Moon, we’re enthusiastic and hopeful. This Moon transit encourages us to seek out intellectual stimulation and unusual or unconventional experiences. The Aquarius Moon is earnest, friendly, and principled.

Mercury’s semi-square to Chiron can stir some minor tensions, challenging us to communicate with more sensitivity. There is some tendency to doubt our perceptions, and we can be impatient with rules, or we can be troubled with vague anxiety or guilty feelings. We may not have enough faith or confidence in our choices to make effective decisions temporarily, but this gives us a chance to learn more about areas where we feel uninformed.

The void Moon period continues only until 2:42 AM EST when the Moon enters Aquarius.

Mercury now reaches 26° Aquarius 29′. which is the point when Mercury first turned retrograde on January 30th. It’s official! Mercury has left its post-retrograde shadow/zone.

Mercury was retrograde from January 30, 2021, at 26° Aquarius 29′, until February 20, 2021, at 11° Aquarius 01′.

Mercury Retrograde Cycle from January 30 to February 20, 2021:

• January 15, 2021, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone at 11° Aquarius 01′
• January 30, 2021, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 26° Aquarius 29′

The following is the New Moon astrological chart wheel for the Pisces New Moon in 2021.

New Moon in Pisces Chart: March 13, 2021

The New Moon in Pisces marks the beginning of a new cycle. The Aquarius New Moon cycle ends and the Pisces New Moon cycle begins. The New Moon in Pisces is a good time to commit to personal goals that express the positive energies of the sign of the Fish. These include taking a leap of faith, accepting imperfections in ourselves and in others as a different kind of “perfection,” starting a project that requires imagination and visualization skills, consciously putting time aside for peaceful and rejuvenating activities, and sharing a dream with another. With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives.

This New Moon is especially creative and romantic with its alignment to Venus and Neptune. Venus and Neptune are approaching a conjunction in Pisces. The major bodies are direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward. Ceres is conjunct Chiron in Aries at the time of this New Moon, lending a sense that we’re growing and helping one another through sensitivity to our vulnerabilities.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 23 degrees and 4 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 19 to 27 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Mercury enters Pisces

Mercury is in Pisces from March 15-April 3, 2021. When Mercury is in Pisces, our thinking processes are more visual, intuitive, and imaginative. We are especially attuned to the world of emotion, which colors both our thoughts and our communication style. We guess well, express ourselves with imagery, and make decisions intuitively. We are more attracted to consciousness-raising information.

Mercury in Pisces

Sun enters Aries

Sun is in Aries from March 20-April 19, 2021. In Aries, the Sun is enthusiastic and spontaneous. We are motivated by the desire to conquer. We are more impulsive and have the urge to initiate. Aries is a sign that bounces back quickly–there is little in the way of shame with Aries. It is brave and pioneering, and somewhat innocent. We are direct and rather uncomplicated in our needs, but we can also be short-sighted and lack the desire to plan ahead.

Sun in Aries

Venus enters Aries

Venus is in Aries from March 21 to April 14, 2021. In Aries, love is spontaneous and direct. The chase is very exciting to us under this fiery influence. We are bold, fresh, and a little impatient when it comes to matters of the heart. We don’t look back with Aries energy. We are not interested in saying sorry or dwelling on the past. It’s a brand new day! It’s time to make things work right now.

Aries is known for a love of the chase and the conquest, but Aries love can be longstanding as long as it remains relatively fresh. Aries is blunt–there’s no sugar-coating with Aries. This can sting, but rarely is Aries energy mean or petty. Saying it like it is is important to Aries. Desires are strong and expressed spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Aries prefers to seduce rather than be seduced, to chase rather than be chased.

The Moon is Full in Libra on March 28, 2021, at 2:49 PM EDT.

Full Moon in Libra Chart: March 28, 2021

The Full Moon occurs on Sunday, March 28th, when the Sun in Aries forms an opposition to the Libra Moon. It’s a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of something begun at the New Moon. Heightened emotions, romance, fertilization, relationship drama, and epiphanies are themes.

The Aries-Libra polarity is a relationship axis, where Aries represents “self,” and Libra represents “other.” Where Aries is about self-assertion, Libra is about compromise. With the Libra Moon, we’re especially aware of our need for relationships and all that comes with maintaining them — compromising, negotiating, graciousness, and balancing. The Aries Sun, on the other hand, is self-assertive, leading, and personally courageous.

This Full Moon urges us to strike a balance between meeting our personal needs and attending to the needs of a significant other, and between independence or autonomy and dependence or companionability. The Libra Moon is diplomatic, equality-focused, and fair-minded. The Aries Sun values authenticity over tact and is energized by independent efforts. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict.

Relationship epiphanies occur now. We’re likely to experience revelations about our independence, need for others, and partnerships. Venus aligns with the Sun in this lunation chart, and Venus rules the Libra Moon, making this configuration particularly useful for resolving conflicts. Saturn is trine the North Node, Mars is conjunct the North Node, and Saturn harmonizes with the Sun and Moon. There can be helpful interactions with superiors or with older or more experienced people, and benefits can come as a result. There can be a choice to structure, limit, or simplify our lives in a significant way that leads to major improvements. We’re a little more careful and conservative now, but we’re also up for a challenge if it means we’re growing and learning.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 8 degrees and 18 minutes of Libra, affecting people with personal planets and points at 4 to 12 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.
