Saturday, MARCH 9

A long-term influence is exact today: Saturn’s parallel to Pluto, and will perfect again in July and November. This is not to be confused with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction that will occur in January 2020, although its influence is similar. Today’s parallel prompts a strong need for reorganization and discipline. It demands hard work at remodeling and renovating our careers and goals or a particular area of our lives. In this area, we can experience the need to rebuild as well as intense ambition, great dedication, commitment, or perhaps obsession. We can feel driven to achieve and accomplish something. We should watch for abuse of power or living on fear, although moderate levels of fear/concern can be useful to motivate us to make improvements and to strengthen certain vulnerable areas of our lives.

With the Aries Moon square Saturn and Pluto today, we can feel a bit tense as we recognize the need for self-discipline but crave more independence. A Mars-Neptune sextile is building, however, and can help us decompress.

The Moon is void from 12:15 PM EST, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (a trine to Jupiter), until the Moon enters Taurus the next day, Sunday, March 10th, at 3:11 AM EDT.
