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.
