Tuesday, MARCH 19
The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 3:33 PM EDT, harmonizing with the Pisces Sun not long before the Sun moves on to Aries. We seek calm and cooperation. Home, family, and familiar settings or situations appeal more than usual.
The Leo Moon from 3:33 PM forward is more outgoing, direct, and performative. The Sun forms a semi-square with Jupiter, suggesting some overestimation of our energy or motivation levels. We want to grow, improve, and expand, and it may be necessary to push some boundaries now, but it’s best to do so gently.
Tonight, the Sun enters pioneering Aries, marking the time of the Spring equinox and the start of the astrological New Year. The Sun will transit the sign of Aries until April 19th. We’re enthusiastic and spontaneous during this cycle, and we can be motivated by the desire to conquer, initiate, or pioneer. We are impulsive, and we want to come first and innovate. Aries is a sign that bounces back quickly and is often without pause for regret. We are direct, brave, and relatively uncomplicated in our needs, but we can also be short-sighted or impatient.
The Moon is void from 2:52 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to the Sun), until the Moon enters Leo at 3:33 PM EDT.

Sun enters Aries
Sun is in Aries from March 19-April 19, 2024. 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.
The Sun enters Aries on March 19, 2024, at 11:06 PM EDT, which is also the Vernal Equinox.

Wednesday, MARCH 20
Today’s Leo Moon brings a burst of determined yet playful and creative energy to our lives. We can’t help but take pride in our accomplishments and feel ready to shine.
While some of our discoveries, musings, and conversations may be slightly uncomfortable with a Mercury-Chiron alignment today, we’re open to the opportunities for learning and healing that they bring. We may find ourselves desiring to talk or think through our feelings, sensitivities, issues, and concerns, and our intuitive understanding is heightened.
This transit encourages us to embrace new perspectives and learn from one another and our circumstances. We are incredibly open to new ways of looking at problems or life in general, and we’re more attuned than usual to communication nuances.

Details
Mars enters Pisces
Mars is in Pisces from March 22-April 30, 2024.
We tend to feel less motivated to go after traditional goals, and more motivated to pursue spiritual or emotional drives during this cycle. While Mars in Pisces, we dislike confrontation.
Our output is variable, and our energy is similarly up and down during this trend. We may put others’ needs ahead of our own, and our more idealistic side comes to the fore. During this cycle, going after what we want becomes less straightforward and more complicated!
However, we are motivated by compassion while Mars is in Pisces. We can be spiritual warriors, or we achieve our goals intuitively and with faith. We can be chameleons, adapting to the current situation quite expertly, although we can also be escape artists, preferring to avoid than confront. We can be passive-aggressive, or we fight through confusing or placating our opponent.

The Moon is Full in Libra on March 25, 2024, at 3:00 AM EDT. This is a penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
Details
The Moon is Full in Libra on March 25, 2024, at 3:00 AM EDT. This is a penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Aries forms an opposition to the Moon in Libra. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. Certainly, it can be an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 5 degrees and 7 minutes of Libra opposite the Sun at 5 degrees and 7 minutes of Aries.
It’s the third eclipse in a set of six occurring along the Aries-Libra axis from April 20th, 2023, to March 29, 2025. The first one was a Total Solar Eclipse in late Aries. While we’ve been focusing on building our independence and working on assertiveness since April 2023, this March eclipse in Libra prompts us to consider healthy relating and how it affects the process.
This eclipse serves as a prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Aries- and Libra-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. It’s a time to resolve matters, strike a balance, take a lesson, and move on, but take some time with this–eclipses can temporarily hide a part of our lives for us to focus on another. Ultimately, we should be striving for a balance.
This eclipse affects people with personal planets and points at 0 to 10 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.
Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Aries-Libra axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants concerning the balance between Aries-ruled and Libra-ruled areas of life.
The contrast between fiery, direct, confrontational Aries and logical, tactful, balance-oriented Libra comes full bloom. The energy of the Libra Moon is the awareness of the 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-minded, and fair-minded. The Aries Sun, however, values authenticity over tact, and is energized by independent efforts. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict.
Neglecting either end of the Aries-Libra axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about emotional declarations. Something has been building inside of us, likely of a personal nature, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the coming months, we will discover what this declaration means for us. For now, it’s difficult to sit on our feelings. We need to express them.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse illuminates the conflict between “me” and “you,” and between autonomy and sharing.
With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational as yet.
This eclipse is about awakening to the need to enjoy and appreciate our partners or significant others in our lives and to connect with our desire for companionship.
Emotions, feelings, and revelations in the weeks following this eclipse are pivotal–they lead to resolutions.
This is a rewarding Full Moon eclipse, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. However, it can take some time before we get the whole picture.
A crisis of sorts (which can be a crisis of consciousness) or sudden awareness of a lack in our lives provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs within the context of the house polarity where the eclipse occurs in our natal charts.
Relationships may be challenged, broken, or strengthened at this time. Our discovery is emotionally charged and dramatic–everything feels big and larger than life at this time. Epiphanies are likely as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into affirmative action, although there can be some initial level of chaos.
This is a time to work on clearing up past patterns that have been holding us back from relationship fulfillment.
Revelations coming in can be blown up and dramatic but not discountable since they come from real feelings. With eclipses, we get a strong emphasis on one area of life but a blackout in another area, and it makes sense to wait to make big decisions for when we can see the whole picture.
This Lunar Eclipse can have a way of bringing dysfunctional areas of our lives to our attention. Emotions and realizations feel big. Plans can blossom.
Through events, circumstances, and epiphanies after the time of this eclipse, we learn that we need to get in touch with our needs for a stronger connection to others. To feel fulfilled, we need to acknowledge and embrace our need for others, for balance, and for compromise.
We become aware of where we have been overdoing our independence or “me” focus where it’s come at the expense of our perspective, companionability, and relationships.
Full Moons are always helpful for magnifying pre-existing problems so that we can see where to bring back balance. Our larger work should focus on reaching a good balance. Enlightenment in the weeks following the lunation provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs, ultimately leading to positive actions and decisions.
This Lunar Eclipse is part of a set of eclipses falling along the Aries/Libra sign axis from April 2023 to March 2025:
- Annular Total SOLAR Eclipse 2023 April 20 0:12:19 at 29 Aries 50

Mercury now turns retrograde at 27° Aries 13′.
Mercury is retrograde from April 1, 2024, at 27° Aries 13′, until April 25, 2024, at 15° Aries 59′. In other words, Mercury stays in Aries while retrograde for almost 24 days.
Mercury Retrograde Cycle from April 1 to 25, 2024:
- On March 18, 2024, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone at 15° Aries 59′
- On April 1, 2024, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 27° Aries 13’Rx
- On April 25, 2024, Mercury stations and turns direct at 15° Aries 59’D
- On May 13, 2024, Mercury leaves the Retrograde Zone at 27° Aries 13′
The year 2024’s second retrograde Mercury cycle occurs from April 1st to 25th. Technically, the first retrograde ended on January 1st, 2024!
Mercury’s shadow period begins on March 18th and ends on May 13th. Note that the shadow period begins before Mercury turns retrograde–when Mercury first passes over the degree that Mercury later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Mercury again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde. The shadow period is different than Mercury’s storm period in astrology, which refers to the period when Mercury is moving especially slowly.
Note that Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrogrades shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years, which may not be ideal.
Also consider that things are most wonky on and around the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end dates of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy.
Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time).
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde.
Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.
While Mercury is retrograde, we may be rethinking a previous opinion or idea. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be reconsidering. In Aries this time, we might look at past decisions and ideas from a new, possibly enlightened perspective. This is a time for reconsidering an initiative or venture. It’s strong for returning to an old project or pursuit.
It can be a time of tension, however, as Mercury in Aries wants immediate answers and retrograde Mercury can point to delays and indecision. The shortness of Mercury in Aries communications is magnified, making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of sharp or brusque comments doing some damage run high.
While Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Aries, we may be returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We can find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycle them in new ways, even though Mercury in Aries prefers the new to the old. We might consider renewing past ventures where we may have had false starts, but this should be done in a new way for things to work this time around.
With Mercury in Aries, we prefer to learn from hands-on experience rather than instruction, and not listening during this Mercury retrograde period can be especially costly.
Keep in mind that Mercury in Aries’ haste to communicate (or perhaps more accurately, to get communications out of the way) can work against us or can be more consequential during Mercury retrograde — there can be texts or emails sent to the wrong people, for example, or quick commentary that’s considered careless.

Venus enters Aries
Venus is in Aries from April 4 to 29, 2024. With Venus 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 the sign. Desires are strong and expressed spontaneously, enthusiastically, and directly. Aries prefers to seduce rather than be seduced, to chase rather than be chased.
While Venus is in Aries, we gravitate to Aries-like activities, pleasures, pastimes, and objects of interest. Our tastes can veer toward action, new enterprise, conquests, courageous or daring acts, and so forth. We can be somewhat impulsive with our money or entertainment choices.
Our interests can be insistent and strong, but possibly short-lived. It’s not the best time for holding onto money. We might pour our resources too quickly into new ventures or projects but tire of these things just as rapidly.

Details
The Moon is New in Aries on April 8, 2024, at 2:21 PM EDT. This is a New Moon total Solar Eclipse that occurs at 19° Aries 24′.
This eclipse is the fourth in an Aries-Libra set of six eclipses and the third Solar Eclipse in the series.
Its effects can be felt for up to six months after the actual date of the eclipse. In the sign of Aries, this eclipse puts matters related to personal plans, courage, independence, and self-assertion in strong focus. It’s about new beginnings regarding any of these issues. Long-term changes are in the works!
This phase of the Moon occurs at 19 degrees and 24 minutes of Aries.
A similar Solar Eclipse (at approximately the same degree of Aries) occurred on April 8th, 2005. Before that, it was April 9, 1986. An eclipse set along the Aries-Libra axis most recently occurred from 2013-2016. Before that, it was from 2004-2006.
Note that this eclipse is opposite the October 2023 eclipse in Libra.
This Solar eclipse can highlight and challenge our issues surrounding independence and personal courage. We might take steps towards self-mastery and self-empowerment by tackling things that undermine us.
Circumstances nudge or encourage us to see where we haven’t been true to our authentic selves. Ultimately, we are now in a position to understand that changes or endings are necessary for our own growth, and that we can handle these things.
This is a good time for focusing on some of the constructive traits of the sign of the Ram–enterprising, straightforward, sincere, brave–and consider how to positively incorporate these qualities into our lives. Aries New Moons are generally good for taking action – trying something new and innovative, and going at it with gusto and confidence;. It’s a time to be assertive, take charge of our lives, start a brand new project, and discover our own personal courage.
It’s a powerful time to re-evaluate our relationship with ourselves. With this potent Aries energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus a New Moon in Aries is especially ripe with opportunity for new beginnings. We might consider acting on a constructive impulse and following a hunch or taking a risk. Aries learns through experience and action, so we might treat ourselves to a little adventure now.
It’s also a good cycle under which to discover the benefits of expressing ourselves with authenticity – expressing ourselves as we are, without putting on airs. We might also find ways to learn how to rely on ourselves and to be happy about doing so – it will go a long way towards finding inner happiness when we know that we can be self-sufficient without blaming others for not helping us out. It’s a time to revitalize ourselves through experiences that break the routine and that involve doing something new and fresh.
The New Moon aligns with retrograde Mercury, and it’s hard to see our path, but our discomfort with the past can be very real now, motivating new beginnings. As well, Mars, the ruler of Aries, is coming into alignment with Saturn, suggesting the determination to overcome obstacles.
With this eclipse, we might experience a strong urge to act on impulse. However, it will be important to avoid jumping to conclusions and asserting ourselves without considering others’ feelings and reactions. There is a big difference between asserting ourselves from a place of healthy confidence, and asserting ourselves brashly and blindly, which can give us a false sense of confidence or bravery.
With this potent Aries energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives that will benefit us well beyond this Moon cycle. For some of us, circumstances are such that we need to pay more attention to these matters.
Flaws in an important system in our lives reveal themselves in the wake of the eclipse, prompting us to redo or to start fresh. Something ends in order for something else to start anew. We may be called to give up something in order to move forward into a new chapter in our lives. Although the “new” may be unrecognizable, it is important to allow the necessary surrender to the unknown.
An eclipse occurs close to the nodal axis, and this eclipse is closer to the North Node of the Moon. While we’re heading into unknown territory in some ways, we have a good sense that we’re doing so to our advantage.
Major developments in the personal areas ruled by Aries in our charts are likely to occur over the upcoming months.
The above chart is excellent for seeing the fundamental influences and chart pattern of this New Moon. The chart below adds more details with additional points. Click to enlarge:

The Sun enters Taurus
Sun is in Taurus from April 19-May 20, 2024. The Sun enters Taurus on April 19, 2024, at 9:59 AM EDT.
In Taurus, the Sun is methodical, sensual, and receptive. The Sun in Taurus is most active when it is defending or resisting! As the Sun moves through Taurus when plants take root, our determination and security needs are strong.
Taurus is loyal to all that is familiar and values longevity. The shadow side of Taurus is possessiveness and bullheadedness.
The Sun in Taurus is the connoisseur and sensualist. It’s patient, stubborn, earthy, stable, and rooted. The Sun-in-Taurus cycle is a good one for maintaining or building, as well as enjoying and appreciating what’s already in place.
While the Taurus Sun is slow to warm up, it’s stable and persevering once it does. We value what’s long-term, strong, and lasting during this phase.

This phase of the Moon occurs at 4 degrees and 18 minutes of Scorpio, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 0 to 8 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly.
The Taurus-Scorpio polarity deals with the balance between all that is mine (Taurus) and all that is yours (Scorpio). It also emphasizes the concept of form (Taurus) versus transformation (Scorpio).
While Taurus deals with matter, personal values, material goods, possessions, and security, Scorpio rules the destruction of form, shared possessions, change, and transformation. The Sun in Taurus encourages happiness with the simple, tangible things in life, while the Scorpio Moon draws our attention to complexities, intangibles, and mysteries.
Neglecting either end of the axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do. This Full Moon is about emotional declarations. Something has been building inside of us, likely of an intimate nature, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out.
Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this declaration means for us. For now, we can’t sit on our feelings — we need to express them. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict between collecting and sharing. With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives.
However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as emotions burst forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational as yet.
Full Moons are about exposing or illuminating issues that are already there, but that have not yet been dealt with. Where does the Full Moon fall by house in your natal chart? Read more here.
We have conviction and tenacity, and we are willing to make necessary changes, but there can be some tension and perhaps paranoia or resistance involved with our revelations now with the lunation’s square to Pluto.

Mercury now turns direct at 15° Aries 59′.
Mercury’s retrograde lasted from April 1st, 2024, at 27° Aries 13′, until April 25th, 2024, at 15° Aries 59′.
Mercury Retrograde Cycle from April 1 to 25, 2024:
- On March 18, 2024, Mercury enters the Retrograde Zone at 15° Aries 59′
- On April 1, 2024, Mercury stations and turns retrograde at 27° Aries 13’Rx
- On April 25, 2024, Mercury stations and turns direct at 15° Aries 59’D
- On May 13, 2024, Mercury leaves the Retrograde Zone at 27° Aries 13′
The year 2024’s second retrograde Mercury cycle began on April 1st and lasted until now, April 25th. Mercury’s shadow period began on March 18th and ends on May 13th.
Note that the shadow period begins before Mercury turns retrograde–when Mercury first passes over the degree that Mercury later returns to in retrograde motion. The shadow period ends when Mercury again passes over the degree at which it first turned retrograde. The shadow period is different than Mercury’s storm period in astrology, which refers to the period when Mercury is moving especially slowly.
Mercury’s post-retrograde shadow is generally better for new long-term endeavors than the pre-retrogrades shadow. For new enterprises in the pre-retrograde shadow, the venture’s secondary progressed Mercury will turn direction (retrograde) in the coming years, which may not be ideal.
Also note that things are most wonky on and around the days of the stations whether Mercury is turning retrograde OR direct (the start and end dates of the retrograde cycle) as the shifts occur, after which we grow more accustomed to the energy.
Mercury is retrograde approximately three times a year for approximately three weeks each time. As such, retrograde Mercury is a fairly common occurrence (Mercury is retrograde approximately 18% of the time).
As the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our “lower” mind–how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, and how we relay that information to others. Mercury has rulership over such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is functioning in a sluggish state. Decision-making is challenged during Mercury retrograde.
Needless to say, it is not advised to sign contracts, engage in important decision-making, or launch a new business. Delays and challenges are more probable with Mercury retrograde. It’s a time when being careless with money, our personal information, or paperwork can be costly.
While Mercury is retrograde, we may be rethinking a previous opinion or idea. Looking to the signs and houses it transits can give clues as to what we may be reconsidering. In Aries this time, we might look at past decisions and ideas from a new, possibly enlightened perspective. This is a time for reconsidering an initiative or venture. It’s strong for returning to an old project or pursuit.
It can be a time of tension, however, as Mercury in Aries wants immediate answers and retrograde Mercury can point to delays and indecision. The shortness of Mercury in Aries communications is magnified, making it necessary to be especially careful with our choice of topics and wording. The chances of sharp or brusque comments doing some damage run high.
While Mercury is retrograde in the sign of Aries, we may be returning to past projects and refining or tweaking them. We can find usefulness in old or past ideas and recycle them in new ways, even though Mercury in Aries prefers the new to the old. We might consider renewing past ventures where we may have had false starts, but this should be done in a new way for things to work this time around.
With Mercury in Aries, we prefer to learn from hands-on experience rather than instruction, and not listening during this Mercury retrograde period can be especially costly.
Keep in mind that Mercury in Aries’ haste to communicate (or perhaps more accurately, to get communications out of the way) can work against us or can be more consequential during Mercury retrograde — there can be texts or emails sent to the wrong people, for example, or quick commentary that’s considered careless.
Now with Mercury direct, slowly but surely, information unclogs, and we can move on. Ideally, while Mercury was retrograde, we had the chance to catch up, refine details, and change our minds if needed.

Venus enters Taurus
Venus is in Taurus from April 29 to May 23, 2024. In Taurus, Venus is naturally very sensual, content, and possessive. We seek security and value those things that are long-lasting. Our appetite for pleasure is strong.
The sign of Taurus values the here and now and the world of the five senses. Tangible and physical expressions of love and romance figure strongly during the Venus-in-Taurus cycle. Holding on to someone or something we love is our tendency under this influence.
The shadow side of this is excessive possessiveness and treating our partners as objects that we own or want to own.
On the financial side, Venus in Taurus looks for high-quality, solid, practical, and long-lasting items. Holding on to our possessions is more likely now. With art, tastes, and pleasures, we prefer things that are earthy, natural, and grounded. We can be somewhat indulgent at this time. Uncertainty bothers us more than usual–we favor stability over excitement in love and pleasure.

Mars enters Aries
Mars is in Aries from April 30 to June 9, 2024.
Mars feels at home in Aries, one of the signs that it rules, and therefore its power is boosted. Our energy is spontaneous, forward-looking, and even courageous under this influence. Our competitive spirit is well-developed, and our goal is to win! We are active, single-minded, and confident.
Our actions are direct–we instinctively find the fastest way to get from point A to point B. The shadow side of Mars in Aries is a tendency to be impatient, arrogant, impulsive, short-lived, unreflective, and self-centered.
We pursue our goals straightforwardly, confidently, unabashedly, and directly with Mars in Aries. The same goes for expressing anger. We want to be first, come first, and do things on our own–our independence, enterprise, and initiative are well-developed.
This transit is better for endeavors that require courage and strong but not necessarily sustained passion and energy. We don’t want to look back or overthink–we only concern ourselves with what we can accomplish right now. Not inclined to beat around the bush, we confidently pursue our desires.

Friday, MARCH 1
The Sun forms a sextile to Jupiter this morning, and it can be a time for engaging with others in delightful ways and enjoying opportunities for doing so. Confidence comes from a stronger sense of who we are and the principles we represent. Some form of recognition or distinction is possible now. We can grasp the “big picture,” which expands our perspective and makes us feel more vital and confident.
A Venus-Chiron sextile is also in play today, and it’s generous and warm. We more readily express our accommodating natures and connect with our need for others. We’re open to learning to overcome our insecurities. We can more easily identify the needs and desires we’ve suppressed, and getting into a healthier relationship with this buried matter can help us in many different life departments. We’re open to intimacy and sharing, seeing beauty in our imperfections. As we learn what we genuinely value, our choices and decisions about relationships and finances improve.

Saturday, MARCH 2
The Moon continues its transit of Scorpio until 8:57 AM EST, and there’s strategic, passionate, and wise energy with us.
The Sagittarius Moon from 8:57 AM forward is enthusiastic, confident, and forward-looking.
Still, Mercury’s semi-square with Pluto can find us mildly skeptical later today. This influence can excite some tension or mental distress and worry. We tend to obsess over an issue that we can’t control.
This minor challenging aspect adds an edge to our thinking processes and communications. We could feel pressured or troubled, and we might take detective work a little too far. But while we can be somewhat mistrustful under this influence, if we harness the energy and use it for good, we can develop strategies to get to the bottom of a matter.
The Moon is void from 2:48 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Neptune), until the Moon enters Sagittarius at 8:57 AM EST.

Sunday, MARCH 3
It’s all too easy to feel caged in, and we tend to rebel against anything that ties us down today. A Venus-Uranus square presents a potential challenge or struggle. Values and tastes may clash, and social activities could suffer as a result. We can feel torn between wanting closeness and freedom. Impulsive attractions to people and/or material goods can lead us astray. Some instability, restlessness, and rebelliousness are possible themes in our relationships.
It’s best to hold off on decision-making regarding finances, as there is a tendency to act on a whim rather than reason. We might feel discontent with our current pleasures or pastimes, and a change may be satisfying. It’s probably best to tame restlessness or avoid abrupt moves but consider our needs for growth and a change of pace.
The morning’s energies are also complicated by the Sun-Moon square. With this Last Quarter Moon, we crave action or movement in our pursuits. It’s not the best time to start a significant project, as the decreasing light of the Moon symbolizes descent into unconsciousness. However, it’s reliable energy for taking a mature look at a situation, and it makes sense to process recent revelations.
The Moon continues its transit of adventurous, optimistic Sagittarius all day.
Jupiter forms a semi-square to Neptune today, and this longer-term influence adds a thread of idealism to our lives. We’re hopeful but perhaps looking in the wrong places for inspiration. Unrealistic or inflated expectations can mislead us–people can lead us astray, too. We might gloss over important and realistic details or suffer from some disorganization. This is the final of three perfections, with the other two having occurred on July 22nd and November 5th, 2023.

Monday, MARCH 4
Today’s Mercury-Uranus sextile helps open minds and decrease resistance to new methods and ideas. We’re just detached enough from a matter that we can gain perspective, and our ideas, conversations, and musings are unique, forward-looking, and ahead of the time. This transit encourages alternative approaches and scientific thinking. Intuition is strong, and insights are quick and exciting. Original, creative ideas and theories come naturally. We can take advantage of this by solving problems in new, innovative ways. Varying our usual routine may be especially rewarding, and ideas to do so abound.
A Mars-North Node sextile is also in play, supporting moving forward or taking on a challenge. We can enjoy making connections, or we seek satisfying activities in which to participate. There is a sense that we’re heading in the right direction or that we want to take steps to grow and improve. New opportunities are there–if we look for them–to help us achieve our desires.
The Moon is void from 10:42 AM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Capricorn at 4:16 PM EST.

Tuesday, MARCH 5
The Moon spends the day in astute, security-oriented Capricorn. It harmonizes with Saturn, Jupiter, and the Sun, and we’re enterprising, which benefits our projects. We are cautious and draw upon common sense when making decisions with this practical Moon position that encourages us to pay attention to structures, rules, and goals.
Still, we might connect to a higher purpose and enjoy a feeling of well-being. Transits today inspire confidence in what we’re doing and striving toward. We’re especially resourceful–it can be a beautiful time to produce and create better systems. We’re ready to lead, motivate, and get the job done.

Wednesday, MARCH 6
The Sun forms a semi-square with Pluto this morning, suggesting a struggle to let go of the inconsequential. We might crave a sense of control over events, relationships, and circumstances, becoming frustrated at any sign that we don’t have it. Tensions can surface if we’ve been holding onto worries and concerns. The more we bottle up, the more pressure builds.
However, healthier strategies are easier to come by as the day advances. A Mars-Chiron sextile is gently motivating, generating enthusiasm and healing power. An opportunity can arise to take the lead or take action that leads to healing, cleansing, or teaching. We can feel a pleasant, motivating sense of mission, and we’re fearless about addressing problem areas. The drive to take affirmative action is with us, most likely to defend or help ourselves and others. We want to fix problems and latch onto projects and activities that give us a stronger sense of purpose.
The Moon continues its transit of responsible Capricorn until 7:39 PM EST, when it moves into fair-minded Aquarius.
The Moon is void from 2:36 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 7:39 PM EST.

Thursday, MARCH 7
Under the influence of an Aquarius Moon all day, we have an emotional need for freedom and independence. We thrive on intellectual stimulation, change, and unusual or unconventional experiences. Trying to pin us down to deadlines and routines could be a lesson in frustration today. On the other hand, it can be a good time to break out of routines and ruts. We should, however, watch for going overboard to combat boredom. With the Moon’s square to Jupiter, there can be some restlessness or competing ambitions and needs.
Still, with Jupiter’s trine to Juno today, we might take steps to strengthen our relationships by putting more faith in our relationships and one another. There can be a focus on sharing or blending beliefs, morals, and values; or we are more obviously growing and improving through each other. We may be making big plans with a significant someone. Having combined or shared goals and ambitions can be a bonding factor.

Friday, MARCH 8
Mercury aligns with Neptune today, easing tension or releasing mental blocks. We’re thinking or talking about our dreams and ideals. It can be a day of interesting ideas, tastes, conversations, and musings. With this transit, we’re more inclined to apply our intuition to everyday issues and problems. Our minds are open to many different possibilities and options as we see beyond physical or material concerns and solutions.
Communications can be inspired and inspirational, quite fanciful, or vague and unclear, and possibly deceptive. It’s best to watch for attempts to escape definitions and responsibilities, but reframing things before we make decisions can be most helpful. We should avoid allowing wishful thinking to dictate our choices, but tapping into our imagination can be rewarding.
Mercury’s semi-square to Jupiter furthers a theme of unusual perceptions and perspectives as we try to make sense of the information before us and attempt to find meaning in it. With this combination, we tend to inflate the positive of a situation. We may feel a little overwhelmed with information or, on the other side, overlook essential details. There’s a tendency to exaggerate or dramatize as tedious mental tasks are especially difficult to digest.
The Moon is void from 1:57 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Venus), until the Moon enters Pisces at 8:04 PM EST.

Saturday, MARCH 9
Uranus forms a square with Mars and a sextile with the Sun today. With the Sun and Mars in a semi-sextile, we can find ourselves needing to adjust our path because our actions seem at odds with what we intended to do or think we should do. It can feel like we’re in a “no-win” situation wherein our instinctive reactions conflict with our common sense. The challenge is to focus on one path at a time instead of constantly changing plans. True inner satisfaction comes not from continually adapting and changing but from acknowledging our conflicting desires and finding ways to compromise and satisfy them constructively.
However, the Mars-Uranus square might steal the show today, stimulating an urge to break free of restrictions. This influence can point to combative, rebellious, and unpredictable responses. It creates an atmosphere that tempts us to take risks or to act on impulses without considering the consequences. We may be too quick to satisfy immediate desires or rebel if we feel at all confined or restrained. We might feel frustrated with anything requiring us to conform, and we’re inclined to assert our independence abruptly. Inner tension begs for release now, but we should avoid sudden moves. The day can be complicated and frustrating but also pivotal.
Fortunately, the Sun-Uranus transit stirs our willingness to get on top of new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations. Group connections can be enlightening, and we’ll do the best for ourselves if we embrace flexibility and innovation. We might arrive at creative solutions to problems and make happy improvements. Spirits are high.
Mercury enters Aries today, where it will transit until May 15th. This Mercury cycle can feel refreshingly decisive and forward-looking. It can certainly be a time when we’re a bit impatient or terse, but it can feel good not to dwell or spend too much time arriving at conclusions in the weeks ahead. We’re less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations during this cycle and more interested in reaching a decision quickly. We want to pioneer and innovate or be the first ones with the idea. It’s time to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries.
Still, this cycle lasts longer than usual due to its upcoming retrograde cycle in April.

Mercury enters Aries
Mercury is in Aries from March 10-May 15, 2024. [Why so long? Mercury stays in Aries longer than usual this year due to its upcoming retrograde cycle.]
When Mercury is in Aries, we are less concerned with objective viewpoints and explanations, and more concerned with reaching a decision…quickly!
Our thoughts and ideas are pioneering, and we tend to speak more spontaneously and directly with the planet of communication in bold and assertive Aries.
Mercury in Aries themes:
- quick, possibly impatient or hurried, decisions
- independent thought
- mental competitiveness
- direct, straightforward, honest, uncomplicated (perhaps insensitive or blunt) communications
- executive decisions
- preference to learn through personal experience, not instruction
- quick, perhaps defensive or combative, responses
Mercury spends more than the usual few weeks in the sign of Aries in 2024 due to a retrograde cycle that will occur entirely in Aries from April 1st to 25th, 2024.

Sunday, MARCH 10
The New Moon occurs early today–at 5:00 AM EDT–in the sign of Pisces, and it’s a time for a new beginning or fresh start. We’re gathering the inspiration to take a leap of faith.
With this potent Pisces energy, we have the chance to make important changes in our lives in the weeks ahead. We’re motivated to carve out time for peaceful and rejuvenating activities or to entertain a dream and perhaps share it with someone special.
With the Sun moving away from Saturn and heading toward Neptune, we have our responsibilities in mind, but we’re also picking up steam in the faith or inspiration department. The New Moon’s harmony with Uranus points to further inspiration and a belief in progress. Reinforcing this: the major bodies are all direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward.
Also today, Mercury forms a sextile with Pluto, improving our ability to see more layers of a situation. We might discover further information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve avoided. It’s a powerful time to look more deeply into a topic. We benefit from being patient and strategic in our decision-making and are willing to look beyond the surface of things. Conversations are probing, investigative, and meaningful, and we may develop an improved psychological understanding of our lives. It’s a good time to let go of something that has kept us bound or stuck in a difficult position.
The Moon is void from 3:46 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Neptune), until the Moon enters Aries at 8:20 PM EDT.

The Moon is New in Pisces on March 10, 2024, at 5:00 AM EDT.
The following is the New Moon astrological chart wheel for the Pisces New Moon in 2024.
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.
With the planets arranged so closely to one another, we can be particularly focused, determined, and concentrated. We should watch for being overly stubborn or narrow in our focus.
The major bodies are all direct, contributing to a feeling of moving forward. This New Moon is moving away from Saturn and heading toward Neptune, suggesting a sense that we have our responsibilities in mind, but that we’re also picking up steam in the faith or inspiration department. Its harmony with Uranus points further to inspiration and belief in progress.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 20 degrees and 17 minutes of Pisces, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 16 to 24 degrees of the Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) most significantly.

Monday, MARCH 11
The Moon spends the day in assertive, direct Aries. However, Venus moves into the sign of Pisces today for a stay until April 4th. This transit brings sweet but sometimes escapist energy to our lives, especially our interactions and relationships. Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although difficult to reach, as there is a longing for something hard to define and satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under this influence. The shadow side of this position can involve evasiveness and avoidance. Otherwise, it’s a time for increased compassion and greater understanding. We’re opening our minds to different pleasures and pastimes in the weeks ahead.

Venus enters Pisces
Venus is in Pisces from March 11-April 4, 2024. Venus enters the sign of Pisces today.
Pisces never sees the world in black-and-white terms. Rather, Pisces sees all the colors of the rainbow. With the goddess of love in Pisces, our love is all-embracing, we are able to forgive and understand, we are seducible and seductive, and we show compassion to our partners.
Venus in Pisces is tender and affectionate, although hard to reach, as there is a longing for something that is difficult to define and hard to satisfy. Borders and boundaries blur under Venus in Pisces. The shadow side of this position is allowing ourselves to be deceived because we want to believe, as well as evasiveness. We should watch for falling in love with an idealized image of something or someone. It’s also important to watch for avoidant or indirect behavior.
Venus is exalted in Pisces and does well in the sign. It’s devoted, compassionate, exceptionally giving, and capable of sacrifice. We might refer heavily on our intuition with our finances and love life during this cycle. We gravitate to–and appreciate–unusual, tossed aside, poetic, artistic objects, situations, and people. We seek activities that move, inspire, or touch us.
Money may slip through our fingers, or we could ignore or overlook some of the practical elements of our lives now. However, finances improve if we connect with our otherworldly talents, imagination, desire to heal and serve, or sense of mission.
This transit is not particularly strong for resolve or determination, but it’s good for adaptability and increased understanding or acceptance.

Tuesday, MARCH 12
Mercury’s semi-square to Uranus today can be a little tense. We’re mentally excited but distractable. This transit adds minor erratic elements to the day, particularly in our communications, thought processes, and outlook. We may be rushing to complete something, share an idea, or communicate, but things may end up half-done if we’re impatient. We are bored with routine, which can signify that we need some mental refreshment.
However, a Venus-Jupiter quintile inspires cooperation in situations that call for it. We give one another the benefit of the doubt. It can feel especially good to put our faith in someone or something now.
The Moon continues its transit of enterprising Aries much of the day–until 8:29 PM EDT, when it enters steady, earthy Taurus.
The Moon is void from 7:09 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Mars), until the Moon enters Taurus at 8:29 PM EDT.

Today’s Moon in Taurus is harmony-oriented, comfortable, and stubborn. The Moon aligns with Jupiter this afternoon, magnifying patient, warm, and indulgent Taurus energy. We’re reaching for our joy and seeking to grow, develop, and improve, primarily through embracing our desire for comfort, security, and groundedness.
As the day advances and we head toward a Venus-Chiron semi-square, we could be focusing on differences rather than similarities in our relationships. If we’re creative with this energy, we might make it work for us by making a concerted effort to learn from the differences.

Thursday, MARCH 14
The Moon spends most of the day in Taurus, boosting our desire for comfort and predictability. Still, the Moon aligns with progressive Uranus this morning and clashes with Mars midday, suggesting agitations, distractions, or blocks interfering with the calm we’re hoping to achieve.
Mercury’s semi-square to Mars can be tense, impatient, or brassy. Ideally, frustration fuels our motivation to make a change. We can quickly come up with ideas or retorts, but we can be nervous and snappy under this influence. It’s not an ideal transit for patience or listening skills.
The Moon is void from 6:29 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a sextile to Neptune), until the Moon enters Gemini at 11:16 PM EDT.

Friday, MARCH 15
The Moon spends the day in Gemini, and our need for mental stimulation is strong. While we enjoy staying busy, we prefer to keep things light with a Gemini Moon. Our curiosity about what’s happening around us increases. We’re focusing on communicating and connecting, and we seek variety and mental engagement. We also put more weight on our communications.
It’s a good time to diversify, put out our feelers, and pick up new ideas or tips. However, there can be some resistance to our needs and desires this evening when the Moon forms a square to Saturn, which can serve as a small reality check. We may not express ourselves very warmly or clearly now.

The Moon spends the day in pleasant, observant, and communicative Gemini. Its harmonious aspects with the North Node of the Moon, Chiron, and Mars spotlight our desire to interact with a purpose and share activities with others. These transits also encourage our enterprising side. It’s a good time for activities that engage both our emotions and our minds.
As the day advances, we head toward a Sun-Neptune alignment, exact tomorrow morning, and we’re extremely sensitive to the moods and undercurrents around us.

Sunday, MARCH 17
Very early today, the First Quarter Moon occurs as the Sun in Pisces forms a square with the Moon in Gemini. It can be a time of stress, clashing, and discord, but also high energy, motivation, and growth. We become especially aware of obstacles to our goals.
The Moon moves from verbal, connected Gemini to sensitive and dedicated Cancer at 5:40 AM EDT.
The Sun aligns with Neptune this morning, and with this yearly conjunction, we find meaning in our experiences more readily than usual. We’re tuned in, inspired, and charitable. This combination makes us vastly more aware of the undercurrents surrounding us. We make judgments intuitively and instinctually. We might resist defining our actions and goals; instead, we seek alternate ways of connecting with our dreams. Our morals may be flexible as we tend to stretch our usual boundaries.
This transit stimulates and enhances spiritual awareness. It’s a generally good time to connect with our dreams, ideals, and romantic or spiritual selves.
The Moon is void from 12:43 AM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a square to Neptune), until the Moon enters Cancer at 5:40 AM EDT.

With today’s Venus-Uranus quintile, we notice and appreciate the more unique elements of people, situations, and projects.
Mercury aligns with the true North Node of the Moon today, and learning, teaching, and communicating figure strongly. We might make valuable contact with people who share our intellectual interests or introduce us to new ideas that help us grow, improve, and expand. Or, we connect with information that similarly moves us forward and challenges us to grow.
But with the Moon in Cancer all day, we’re looking for safety, familiarity, warmth, and sustenance. This transit encourages us to center ourselves and let go of overthinking. We crave a stronger sense of belonging. With a Mars-Vesta aspect also in play today, we more easily direct our energies into meaningful activities.

Tuesday, MARCH 19
The Moon continues its transit of Cancer until 3:33 PM EDT, harmonizing with the Pisces Sun not long before the Sun moves on to Aries. We seek calm and cooperation. Home, family, and familiar settings or situations appeal more than usual.
The Leo Moon from 3:33 PM forward is more outgoing, direct, and performative. The Sun forms a semi-square with Jupiter, suggesting some overestimation of our energy or motivation levels. We want to grow, improve, and expand, and it may be necessary to push some boundaries now, but it’s best to do so gently.
Tonight, the Sun enters pioneering Aries, marking the time of the Spring equinox and the start of the astrological New Year. The Sun will transit the sign of Aries until April 19th. We’re enthusiastic and spontaneous during this cycle, and we can be motivated by the desire to conquer, initiate, or pioneer. We are impulsive, and we want to come first and innovate. Aries is a sign that bounces back quickly and is often without pause for regret. We are direct, brave, and relatively uncomplicated in our needs, but we can also be short-sighted or impatient.
The Moon is void from 2:52 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to the Sun), until the Moon enters Leo at 3:33 PM EDT.

Sun is in Aries from March 19-April 19, 2024. 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.
The Sun enters Aries on March 19, 2024, at 11:06 PM EDT, which is also the Vernal Equinox.

Wednesday, MARCH 20
Today’s Leo Moon brings a burst of determined yet playful and creative energy to our lives. We can’t help but take pride in our accomplishments and feel ready to shine.
While some of our discoveries, musings, and conversations may be slightly uncomfortable with a Mercury-Chiron alignment today, we’re open to the opportunities for learning and healing that they bring. We may find ourselves desiring to talk or think through our feelings, sensitivities, issues, and concerns, and our intuitive understanding is heightened.
This transit encourages us to embrace new perspectives and learn from one another and our circumstances. We are incredibly open to new ways of looking at problems or life in general, and we’re more attuned than usual to communication nuances.

Mars enters Pisces
Mars is in Pisces from March 22-April 30, 2024.
We tend to feel less motivated to go after traditional goals, and more motivated to pursue spiritual or emotional drives during this cycle. While Mars in Pisces, we dislike confrontation.
Our output is variable, and our energy is similarly up and down during this trend. We may put others’ needs ahead of our own, and our more idealistic side comes to the fore. During this cycle, going after what we want becomes less straightforward and more complicated!
However, we are motivated by compassion while Mars is in Pisces. We can be spiritual warriors, or we achieve our goals intuitively and with faith. We can be chameleons, adapting to the current situation quite expertly, although we can also be escape artists, preferring to avoid than confront. We can be passive-aggressive, or we fight through confusing or placating our opponent.

The Moon is Full in Libra on March 25, 2024, at 3:00 AM EDT. This is a penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
Details
The Moon is Full in Libra on March 25, 2024, at 3:00 AM EDT. This is a penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
A Full Moon occurs when the Sun in Aries forms an opposition to the Moon in Libra. The Full Moon is a time of culmination and the promise of fulfillment of that which was started at the New Moon. Certainly, it can be an emotional time – a time of romance, fertilization, and relationships.
This phase of the Moon occurs at 5 degrees and 7 minutes of Libra opposite the Sun at 5 degrees and 7 minutes of Aries.
It’s the third eclipse in a set of six occurring along the Aries-Libra axis from April 20th, 2023, to March 29, 2025. The first one was a Total Solar Eclipse in late Aries. While we’ve been focusing on building our independence and working on assertiveness since April 2023, this March eclipse in Libra prompts us to consider healthy relating and how it affects the process.
This eclipse serves as a prompt, nudge, or push to make improvements in Aries- and Libra-ruled areas of life in our charts, and feelings of discontent can magnify. It’s a time to resolve matters, strike a balance, take a lesson, and move on, but take some time with this–eclipses can temporarily hide a part of our lives for us to focus on another. Ultimately, we should be striving for a balance.
This eclipse affects people with personal planets and points at 0 to 10 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) most significantly.
Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Aries-Libra axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants concerning the balance between Aries-ruled and Libra-ruled areas of life.
The contrast between fiery, direct, confrontational Aries and logical, tactful, balance-oriented Libra comes full bloom. The energy of the Libra Moon is the awareness of the 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-minded, and fair-minded. The Aries Sun, however, values authenticity over tact, and is energized by independent efforts. The Full Moon illuminates this conflict.
Neglecting either end of the Aries-Libra axis will surely backfire on us. Ideally, a balance should be found between the two energies, and this is what the Full Moon invites us to do.
This Full Moon is about emotional declarations. Something has been building inside of us, likely of a personal nature, and now is the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let it out. Over the coming months, we will discover what this declaration means for us. For now, it’s difficult to sit on our feelings. We need to express them.
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse illuminates the conflict between “me” and “you,” and between autonomy and sharing.
With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic “illumination” occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions bursting forth into our consciousness. It’s time to express ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that what is coming out of us is new and not particularly rational as yet.
This eclipse is about awakening to the need to enjoy and appreciate our partners or significant others in our lives and to connect with our desire for companionship.
Emotions, feelings, and revelations in the weeks following this eclipse are pivotal–they lead to resolutions.
This is a rewarding Full Moon eclipse, ripe with possibilities and learning experiences. However, it can take some time before we get the whole picture.
A crisis of sorts (which can be a crisis of consciousness) or sudden awareness of a lack in our lives provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs within the context of the house polarity where the eclipse occurs in our natal charts.
Relationships may be challenged, broken, or strengthened at this time. Our discovery is emotionally charged and dramatic–everything feels big and larger than life at this time. Epiphanies are likely as we become acutely aware of our lack. This understanding can propel us into affirmative action, although there can be some initial level of chaos.
This is a time to work on clearing up past patterns that have been holding us back from relationship fulfillment.
Revelations coming in can be blown up and dramatic but not discountable since they come from real feelings. With eclipses, we get a strong emphasis on one area of life but a blackout in another area, and it makes sense to wait to make big decisions for when we can see the whole picture.
This Lunar Eclipse can have a way of bringing dysfunctional areas of our lives to our attention. Emotions and realizations feel big. Plans can blossom.
Through events, circumstances, and epiphanies after the time of this eclipse, we learn that we need to get in touch with our needs for a stronger connection to others. To feel fulfilled, we need to acknowledge and embrace our need for others, for balance, and for compromise.
We become aware of where we have been overdoing our independence or “me” focus where it’s come at the expense of our perspective, companionability, and relationships.
Full Moons are always helpful for magnifying pre-existing problems so that we can see where to bring back balance. Our larger work should focus on reaching a good balance. Enlightenment in the weeks following the lunation provides us with a golden opportunity to explore our emotional needs, ultimately leading to positive actions and decisions.
This Lunar Eclipse is part of a set of eclipses falling along the Aries/Libra sign axis from April 2023 to March 2025:
- Annular Total SOLAR Eclipse 2023 April 20 0:12:19 at 29 Aries 50
