Friday, MARCH 17

The superior conjunction of the Sun and Mercury occurs today, and ideas and realizations now are pivotal.

This Mercury-Sun alignment offers us a nice window of opportunity to see our goals. It can stimulate an epiphany, illumination of a matter, or a clearing of the air. We are sharp, communicative, and open at this time, and what we say or write now has a strong impact. An idea or plan can come to full bloom.

Venus forms a sextile to Saturn this evening, encouraging a considered, practical approach, particularly in our social lives. It’s a grounding influence that helps stabilize our affections. We place a higher value on security, steadiness, and loyalty.

This transit boosts the appeal of the ordinary and reliable–we appreciate longstanding alliances or tried-and-true pleasures. We are more responsible with others and with our own feelings and affections. Our judgment is sound, and we’re a little more conservative with money under this influence. We can enjoy planning and organizing.

The void Moon occurs from 10:13 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a conjunction to Pluto), until the Moon enters Aquarius at 10:25 AM EDT.
