SHOW LOVE

Monday, March 18, 2019:

The week begins on a cheerful note with the Moon in creative, playful Leo. At 11:18 AM she forms a lovely trine aspect to idealistic Jupiter increasing the good feelings of the day.

This is a day to allow others to see the full expression of your unique personality. Get creative as you prepare for the day. Leave your ordinary drab clothing in the closet, show your self-confidence with bright colors and dramatic accessories.

Allow your most sparkly side to shine through. You may be surprised to see that others respond with increased self-expression of their own. Express love boldly to all who you encounter. Allow warmth, generosity, and open-hearted acceptance to emanate from your soul. Show Love.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS

Tuesday, March 19, 2019:

It is interesting to encounter a day with so little astrological activity. The Moon rises very brightly in the night sky as she reaches out for her Full Phase which occurs just on the heels of the Spring Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere) tomorrow night.

With the Moon in meticulous Virgo, this is a great time to work on projects that require detailed work and dedicated, orderly, efficiency. Work on completing practical chores. You may notice yourself carefully observing others and trying to fix what does not meet your high standards. Even though you feel very dedicated to improvement, remember that it is not your job to correct others. Look inward and find ways to be of service for the greater good.

Stay focused on practical activities. You may have a hard time allowing ‘good-enough’ to be good enough. Don’t allow perfectionism to stop progress. Work on projects and issues that will benefit from organization and analysis, paying particular attention to details.

SPRING EQUINOX/ LIBRA FULL MOON – AN EXPERIENCE OF WONDER

Wednesday, March 20, 2019:

What a powerhouse of a day! The morning begins with assertive Mars forming a positive trine aspect to potent Pluto. Whatever you take direct action on has amazing strength and determination behind it. Don’t underestimate the implications of where you direct your energies.

At 5:58 PM EDT the Sun enters Aries beginning the astrological New Year and the Sun’s new journey through the zodiac. On this day we experience equal time in darkness and equal time in the light. The Spring Equinox is a deeply significant time of opening the door to new potential, a time of resurrection and rebirth. Several hours after the Sun has entered Aries the Moon enters Libra and brings us directly into the culmination that is the Libra Full Moon.

Given that this Full Moon occurs on an extremely important power point (zero degrees of any cardinal sign is called the Aries Point), pay careful attention to anything that comes to light or you fully/clearly see at this time. This is a powerful combination suggesting the enormity of the change we are creating in our lives. Find the houses that hold Aries & Libra in your chart; consider what you are creating and what you are seeing with fully open eyes in the polarity between these houses. This brings each of us to a powerful turning point. Allow yourself to see and understand the shift in the balance of your life.

At this time hold your soul open for the experience of Wonder, and remember that Anything is Possible.

WHAT DO YOU VALUE?

Thursday, March 21, 2019:

This is a day brought to you by Venus as she has several significant conversations with her cohorts early in the day. Venus speaks to us of our values, beauty, cooperation, love, and even money and personal resources. What do you Value? This is a time to consider those deeply held beliefs and how those values sometimes stand in the way of your desire for action. The morning may begin with such a challenge.

Don’t get stuck in any difficulty as this dilemma is followed with a gentle opportunity to clarify your beliefs and expand the scope of your deeply held values. Oftentimes our values and beliefs go unexamined; take the opportunity now to consider deeply, what do you Value?

With the Moon in diplomatic Libra look at these issues with dispassionate objectivity. Put cooperation and an attitude of refinement ahead of other considerations. Face your life with grace and decorum, offer the gifts of Libra; the desire to please, engage in social niceties and create beauty. Find ways to offer kindness and bring beauty into the world.

TAKE A RISK FOR LOVE

Friday, March 22, 2019:

The Libra Moon makes challenging aspects to Saturn and Pluto in the early part of the day. You may struggle to see how you could possibly create the beauty and love in the world that you desire. Don’t let yourself fall into discouragement and regret. As the day moves along you will be more able to tap into the charming pleasantries of the Libra Moon. Release the challenge and seek pleasant social gatherings, take a friend to lunch, or head to a museum.

The Libra Moon offers an evening that supports romantic or diplomatic endeavors, socializing, or creating art. As you interact with others, it is good to remember that while the Moon moves through Libra we all desire companionship, love, and beauty. Please be kind to anyone you encounter. Spread goodness.

At 10:16 PM EDT the Moon enters Scorpio bringing you to a deeper emotional level. Take a risk with a partner or friend, tell a secret. Open the door to a cupboard that needs cleaning and airing out. Show trustworthiness and deep understanding to another. Bring yourself into profoundly deep connections, explore power dynamics safely and with open-hearted love.

“Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.” ~ Og Mandino

BRING WHAT IS HIDDEN INTO THE LIGHT

Saturday, March 23, 2019:

This is an astrologically quiet day best spent in deep connection with a significant partner or highly trusted friend. With the Moon passing through Scorpio, consider how much your life has been transformed by the examination of the deeper (even the darker) side of life and love. In order to grow, you must allow parts of yourself to transform through clear seeing, destruction, and regeneration. Open your heart to passion, determination, and powerful transformative change.

In many circles, Scorpio has a bad reputation as it is a sign that has a profound need to go deep and explore the inner dark corners of the psyche. Don’t shy away, be willing to look beneath every stone and allow vulnerability. Within our vulnerability is our strength.

While the Moon is going through Scorpio, you are aware of the things that polite society would rather you kept hidden under a rug. Scorpio suggests the importance of bringing what is hidden into the light, to be excavated, and brought forth for healing.

VIEW OTHERS THROUGH A LENSE OF COMPASSION

Sunday, March 24, 2019:

We come to another day with the Moon in the Fixed Water sign of Scorpio. Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) are stable, have a concentration of focus, and can be quite stubborn. Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are deeply sensitive and powerfully emotional. Scorpio brings profound depth and concentrates its targeted attention on the hidden emotions that many folks prefer to avoid. When the Moon is in Scorpio, we are able to feel more deeply and are able to observe our hidden emotional motivations with great clarity. This is a day to keep yourself in the company of folks you love, respect, and trust.

At 1:27 PM EDT Mercury (still retrograde) joins with Neptune suggesting an element of intellectual idealism or confusion. Use your mind, communications, and thinking in soft ways, engage in imaginative pursuits, write poetry or music. This would be a great day for contemplating your spiritual roots and how your thinking toward those core beliefs has changed over time. Open to a more mystical and compassionate view toward others.

Although we think and speak of ‘the phases of the Moon’ what we are really speaking of is not the Moon itself, but the relationship (the cycle) between the Sun and the Moon. There are 8 phases to this cycle and we are most familiar with four of them. The cycle begins with the New Moon when the Sun and Moon join together at the same degree of the zodiac. The first Quarter Moon comes a week later as they come to a 90degree distance between them. Following a week later is the Full Moon which occurs when the Sun and Moon are 180degrees apart in full opposition. The Last Quarter Phase comes the following week when they are once again 90degrees apart. Both the First and Last Quarter Moon phases are considered to be times when we are confronted with some sort of dilemma. These are times when we pivot to a new direction. At the First Quarter, we take action to move forward toward illumination. At the Last Quarter Moon, we pivot to release something that we no longer require or desire.

LISTEN TO THE SONG OF THE TREES

Monday, March 11, 2019:

The week begins with the Moon in stable slow moving Taurus. It would be nice to snuggle in bed long into the morning but practicality pushes you to do what must be done.

At 11:27 AM EDT as the Moon makes contact with Mars you are afforded with great strength, determination, and assertiveness. Take the action that is called for. As the day progresses you may find things simply falling into place without a great deal of effort.

When the Moon is in Taurus your senses tend to be highly aroused by the natural world. If possible get outdoors and listen to the song of the trees. Pay attention to the messages your body and nature always offer.

INQUISITIVE ENTHUSIASM

Tuesday, March 12, 2019:

You likely begin the day with more patience and calm than usual. There is a steadfastness evident in the angle of the light and an awareness that Spring is now unstoppable. Get up early and set a beautiful table for breakfast. Imagine how your family will respond to such an unexpected declaration of care and love.

At 11:48 AM EDT the tone shifts to restless enthusiasm. Seek friends for intelligent, clever, and curious conversations. Don’t go into deep or problematic topics, keep it light. Be inquisitive not penetrating in your curiosity. Allow conversations to open your mind, not necessarily your heart. Your mind may move quickly, seeking stimulation and much activity.

Delve into your email inbox and get caught up on all those messages that are waiting for your response. __________________________________

The Taurus Moon is void-of-course from 5:31 AM EDT until she enters Gemini at 11:48 AM EDT. This condition merely suggests that whatever is begun or occurs during this time will not have a significant future impact.

CONSIDER FUTURE POTENTIAL

Wednesday, March 13, 2019:

In mid-January what seed of personal empowerment did you plant, what began at that time? It is time now to revitalize that plan or idea. At 10:29 AM EDT the Sun makes a captivating sextile aspect to Pluto asking you to explore and experiment with ideas that will lead to personal development and compelling growth. Look beyond what you have thought about in the past. Open a window of observation that you didn’t realize could be stripped bare and revealed. Ask yourself what step you should be considering for future potential.

With the Moon in Gemini your mind is likely moving quickly, you require mental stimulation and lots of activity. To avoid anxiety and restlessness, make sure to find intellectually stimulating folks to engage with.

At 9:29 PM EDT the Sun square Jupiter may have you in a rather jovial state of mind, you may feel optimistic, sociable and quite generous. You may, however, have very little self-control. You may find yourself unconsciously overeating, overspending, or shopping for frivolous items online. Keep yourself alert for possible poor choices. If you hear yourself saying “I DESERVE this” consider it a red flag! Try to honestly assess how will you feel about it after this overblown transit has passed?

SPEAK OF YOUR DECISIONS

Thursday, March 14, 2019:

At 6:28 AM EDT with the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Pisces we reach the First Quarter Moon. Both the First and Last Quarter Moon phases are considered to be times when we are confronted with some sort of dilemma. These are times when we pivot to a new direction. At the First Quarter, we take action to move forward toward illumination. At the Last Quarter Moon, we pivot to release something that we no longer require or desire. Think about that as you take a step toward insight and inspiration. With the Moon in Gemini, the appropriate action likely involves something that you need to speak about, consider what needs to be said. These are times of expanded potential when you take your future into your own hands and make choices that change the course you are on. Make a decision now that will lead you in a direction of loyalty and commitment. This is a time when your actions turn you toward or away from your highest expression. Choose well with eyes wide open.

At 5:50 PM EDT the Moon moves into sensitive emotional Cancer. You will want to stay home and enjoy comfort food with family and loved ones. Your thoughts will easily move to nostalgic visions of the past. Remember that folks will be feeling more sensitive than usual; respond with more kindness than usual.

RAISING YOUR HOPES

Friday, March 15, 2019:

The Moon travels through sensitive Cancer keeping your heart closely connected to your family and loved ones. You will want to create a safe space of comfort, protection, and warmth. You will notice yourself thinking more fondly of the past and more willing than usual to engage in domestic activities. This may be a rather moody day when that chocolate cake will call to you more loudly than usual. Go ahead and indulge in whatever comforts your soul.

At 7:16 PM EDT Mercury squares Jupiter raising your hopes and enlarging your outlook on the future. Don’t let your positive expectations distract you from the need to remain focused and pay attention to the details of all communications. With Mercury retrograde during this transit don’t be complacent or assume that your communications are understood. Pay attention, ask questions to double check that you are heard correctly.

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. ~ Og Mandino

SENSITIVITY TURNS TO FUN

Saturday, March 16, 2019:

With the Moon in Cancer, you will want to spend the day refilling your deep emotional well. You may experience a sense of deep nostalgia, find yourself feeling homesick for the past, or deeply miss folks that have long since passed out of your life. Go ahead and reach out to family members you haven’t spoken to in many months or years.

Your emotions are unlikely to be stable and you may experience major mood swings that bring you from sadness to bliss. You will also find that you are overly sensitive to the moods of others.

Mercury forms a sweet sextile aspect to Pluto at 9:08 AM EDT suggesting that your words and communications have a powerful ability to move others.

At 8:57 PM EDT the Moon enters expressive dramatic Leo. It is time to release the sensitivity and look for a more social environment where you can show your more expressive side. Go out dancing or find a party or social gathering to illuminate your most playful side.

WARMTH AND GENEROSITY

Sunday, March 17, 2019:

With the Moon in Leo, you may want to spend the day in dramatic self-expression and playful creativity. This is a great day for socializing with folks to whom you can offer a full view of your personality, allow yourself to shine with your deepest sparkle. This Moon brings a cheerful vibe to the day, making everyone feel more open, spontaneous, and colorful. This is a day to allow others to see a part of yourself that you normally keep under wraps. Your inner child wants to come out to play. We all want to stand out and be known for the things that make us special. Show up for yourself. Everyone’s ‘inner child’ will be on full display. Think about that as you interact with others. How would your day be different if you and your friends were all five or seven years old? What would it be like to play together from that space or perspective?

Don’t be afraid of looking foolish, your friends will adore you if you can lead them in the direction of active creativity! Allow your warmth, generosity, and open-hearted acceptance to rule the day. If you do not want to be on stage, applaud someone who does. The theme of the day is warmth and generosity.

“There is something out there. Astrology is like a game of chess with an invisible partner. We set out the board and the rules, make a move, and then find that the pieces are moving, as if by an invisible hand.” ~ Noel Tyl

EXPANDING VIEW

Monday, March 4, 2019:

The week starts slowly as the Moon continues her path through innovative forward thinking Aquarius. She is rapidly approaching the New Moon.

We consider ourselves in the ‘dark-of-the moon’ for a few days before each New Moon, suggesting more interest in quiet contemplation than we would normally expect with the Moon in Aquarius.

Going inward, contemplate where you are still ruled by social conventions, consider the areas of your life that you have not questioned. Allow yourself to open to the possibility that your view is incomplete.

At 11:31 AM EST the Moon forms an amiable sextile aspect to Jupiter allowing your beliefs to expand and enabling you to engage others in captivating conversations and connections. See the good in those around you, show the best of yourself to others.

MERCURY RETROGRADE; RE-IMAGINE & RE-INSPIRE

Tuesday, March 5, 2019:

Just as Mercury is about to enter Aries, it stops and turns back to retrace its path. Mercury will remain retrograde until March 28. Find the house that holds Pisces in your chart to better understand the area of your life that requires this revisiting of your thoughts and attention. Something here needs to be reimagined, adjusted, or considered from a different perspective. Mercury retrograde pushes us to look and consider more deeply those things we have breezed over without proper attention. Mercury will be in contact with dreamy illusory Neptune through most of March. Allow your imagination to help you understand the perspective that is needed. This is a time to reengage your imagination, inspiration, and sensitivity.

The Moon in Pisces will help you go with the flow and understand the spaciousness that will be required over the coming weeks. As much as possible, rest, retreat, find inspiration and offer inspiration to others.

THE TIME IS NOW

Wednesday, March 6, 2019:

Between Uranus entering Taurus and the Pisces New Moon, this is a powerhouse of a day.

Uranus’ movement into Taurus is probably the most anticipated astrological event of the entire year. Uranus spent time in Taurus between mid-May and early November 2018 before returning to Aries due to its retrograde movement. Uranus will remain in Taurus until 2025. Uranus moves very slowly and as it enters a new sign you know there are big changes coming in the area of the chart that holds Taurus. Uranus is the planet of freedom, liberation, and undeniable change. Where you will experience this change depends on where Taurus is in your chart.

If you have Aries rising the change will come in the area of finances or self-worth
If you have Taurus rising the change will come in how you express your personality.
If you have Gemini rising the change will affect your deeply hidden subconscious
If you have Cancer rising the change will involve the community that supports your desires
If you have Leo rising the shift will involve your career or reputation
If you have Virgo rising the change will involve travel, education, or your world view.
If you have Libra rising the change will involve something deeply powerful that you share with others; other people’s money, beliefs, or values
If you have Scorpio rising the change will profoundly impact your intimate partnerships.
If you have Sagittarius rising the shift will revolve around your health or work routines.
If you have Capricorn rising you will experience a significant change around creativity, children, or love affairs.
If you have Aquarius rising the change will involve your home or family.
If you have Pisces rising you will experience a powerful change in how you communicate, there may also be changes regarding your siblings.

Now, let’s think about the New Moon. Remember that New Moons always bring a new beginning. This New Moon is exact at 11:04 AM EST, in Pisces; think of bringing a new sensitivity and understanding into your awareness. Think also of how the understanding of human suffering brings us to deep levels of compassion.

~~Pisces New Moon Ritual ~~

Take a moment to write down the changes you wish to begin, create, or increase during this Moon Cycle. The Pisces New Moon suggests that you plant a seed of emotional sensitivity, imagination, and mystical awakening,

Have two candles available. Light a candle to represent yourself, as you are at the moment. Light another candle as inspiration for what you intend to create. Take a moment to focus on yourself as you light the first candle. Then, light the second candle as you imagine drawing toward yourself what you want to create as you physically bring the two candles closer together.

Do this each day for two weeks until the Full Moon (March 20) when you will bring the candles fully together and acknowledge your personal growth in this area.

MAKE KINDNESS A PRIORITY

Thursday, March 7, 2019:

The day begins with the Moon still in passive dreamy Pisces. Give yourself permission to begin the day slowly. Don’t expect too much from yourself or others unless you are working on a project that requires free-floating imagination and compassionate connections.

At 3:28 PM EST the Moon enters Aries, at that time it may feel as though you have woken from a nap. It is time to push forward to reach a destination or a goal that has evaded you over the past few days. You may have been easily taking ‘no’ for an answer or not even asking the questions that you want answers to. Now you are ready to find the chinks in the armor and push hard to gain an advantage. With the Moon in Aries, it is good to remind yourself that the needs of others are just as valid as your own. Selfishness can sneak in if you don’t keep your awareness sharp, make kindness a priority.

__________________________________

The Pisces Moon is void-of-course from 2:09 PM EST until she enters Aries at 3:28 PM EST. This condition merely suggests that whatever is begun or occurs during this time will not have a significant future impact.

DRIVE AND PASSION

Friday, March 8, 2019:

I expect you are not only ready but rather impatient, for the arrival of the weekend. Go ahead and make impulsive plans to do something that takes courage, powerful drive, and independence. You are not looking for time with others but time on your own.

Aries offers great courage and bravery but does not have a high level of caution. If you engage in activities such as skydiving, rock climbing, or other courageous physical endeavors, please consciously keep your safety top of mind.

When the Moon is in Aries, you may be called to take a challenge, be competitive, take a risk, or prove something to yourself. This is a time that calls for passion.

SEEKING MATURITY

Saturday, March 9, 2019:

On January 2nd, the Sun joined with Saturn beginning an annual cycle of serious stabilization. Now (Sun sextile Saturn) it is time to explore different ways of developing that stabilization and bring greater maturity and steadfast ambition to your life. No action needs to be taken now but do explore various ideas of how you will bring forth this new level of maturity. Action will need to be taken on this issue during the second week of April, for now, contemplation may bring ideas that will grow into action then.

The Moon continues its path through assertive, determined Aries. Find a powerful way to use your physical energies. If you don’t use those energies you can easily find yourself embroiled in anxiety or aggression. Go for a run, a hike, wash the car, go dancing!

This is not a great evening for romance but excellent for passion.

__________________________________

The Aries Moon is void-of-course from 12:14 PM EST until she enters Taurus at 3:10 AM EDT on Sunday morning. This condition merely suggests that whatever is begun or occurs during this time will not have a significant future impact.

A HAZE OF ROMANCE

Sunday, March 10, 2019:

The romance that was not on the menu earlier this weekend is available now. By the time you begin the day, the Moon has entered sensuous, earthy Taurus, bringing attention to all of your senses. As you touch flesh or create tangible beauty you may be overwhelmed by deep reverence and appreciation.

At 12:19 PM EDT Mars forms an alluring sextile aspect to Neptune casting a haze of romance over all that you touch. You are able to attract others, captivate and enchant them or you may be on the receiving end of this powerful attraction. You are sensitive to the desires of others and are able to sooth and magnetize those you encounter. This is a great time to dance and make love. Creativity and passion can be moved through the body with great strength and charisma.

Understand that western astrology is based on the tropical zodiac system.The tropical zodiac is a metaphorical, season-based system that aligns the vernal equinox with the first degree of Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. At the Spring Equinox the Sun enters the sign of Aries.

“We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.” ~ Carl Jung

OPEN TO EXPERIENCE

Monday, February 25, 2019:

The Moon spends the bulk of the day in the intense realm of Scorpio suggesting that the week begins with deeply powerful emotions. However, you can anticipate relative ease in communicating those deep emotions and sharing your most powerful values as the Moon forms supportive aspects to Mercury and Venus in the early hours.

At 4:19 PM EST the Moon leaves Scorpio and moves into the lighter more idealistic arena of Sagittarius. Allow yourself to release the intensity of the past few days and embrace something exciting and for the evening. Don’t do the same thing you always do on a Monday night. Find a new path, a new friend, a new restaurant, or begin a new conversation. Watch a documentary that will open your eyes to how others experience the world. Allow your mind to experience a reality that is outside of your comfort zone. Move away from any rut you find yourself in.

CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES

Tuesday, February 26, 2019:

The day begins with the Last Quarter Square aspect formed between the Sun and the Moon. The First and Last Quarter Moon always bring a bit of a crisis. Depending on where it impacts your individual chart will determine how much it impacts you personally. If you are interested in tracking the cycles and understanding what area of your life is being impacted by these cycles, please check out Astrolore’s Patreon page. Always remember that crisis implies severe challenges but also grand opportunities. At the Last Quarter Moon, you are asked to release something that no longer is in service to your path forward. By letting go you allow space for something that will support your progress. It takes courage to choose. Do not do so lightly but do not hold back once you attain clarity. Spend time on your own in silence listening to your own heart. This is the only way to gain clarity. You can not do so with the notice of the world impinging on your mind and heart. Take the future into your hands and make a wise choice that only your deepest heart knows.

With the Moon in Sagittarius don’t get stuck believing your opinions are the right and only ones worth heeding. Remember that everyone’s opinions are just that – opinions! No matter how we may feel, it is important to understand and accept that no one has a direct line to TRUTH. Consciously cultivate understanding, humor, and wisdom.

WHAT CALLS TO YOU?

Wednesday, February 27, 2019:

With the Moon in Sagittarius, you may feel a bit restless and need to get out into the world to engage with others. If you stay home, explore ideas of a trip you’d like to take or a new study that you are curious about. Consider all the ways that humans seek truth and wisdom. What calls to you?

In late July 2017, the Sun joined with Mars at 4 degrees Leo. The cycle that began at that time was about the development of courage. What action/step did you take at that time to develop grit and bravery in the house that holds Leo in your chart? Look back and consider how far you have come. With Mars sextile the Sun your contemplations are significant now and the opportunities you embrace will prepare you for the next step on developing ever deeper levels of tenacity and spunk that will be asked of you in September 2019. For now, feel the excitement available to you.

TAKE A STAND

Thursday, February 28, 2019:

By the time the day begins the Moon has shed her desire for exploration and has embraced the serious business of accomplishment and ambition. You may wake with a clear awareness that it is time to put your nose to the grindstone, put a stake in the ground, and determine the direction you must move to bring you to the finish line. This is not a day for dreaming, playing, or even creative thinking. This is a day to make whatever adjustments are necessary in order to climb the mountain of accomplishment that you have determined is yours to climb. If you have been drifting or wasting your time or talents, now is the time to get clear and begin to shift course. Take a stand; one decision, one step forward can set you on the correct path.

SEEKING FREEDOM

Friday, March 1, 2019:

You may experience a powerful desire for freedom and excitement in love at this time. You may have little patience with rules, restrictions, and controls. If you have been feeling constrained make sure to schedule time on your own to prevent your impatience from slipping into destructive behavior. In late March 2018 Venus, the planet of love and beauty made an intimate connection with Uranus, the planet which emphasizes intensification and change. Thus began a cycle of tension and excess focused on relationships, love, and personal values. At this point in the cycle (Venus last quarter square Uranus) notice what is working and what is not. Where do you need to release certain expectations? A decision you make now will bring you to the next cycle of change and innovation in relationships that will begin in mid-May as Venus and Uranus join once again at 3 degrees Taurus.

At 11:45 AM EST Venus enters Aquarius (where it will remain until March 26th) reflecting similar issues of freedom, independence, and innovation in partnership and love.

With the Moon in Capricorn connecting with Saturn and Pluto, you will be reminded that freedom enacts a price. Facing both the reality of that price and the power available if you do so, will bring much depth to the day. It will be important to pay attention to what others are dealing with as well. Getting out of your narrow perspective and truly understanding the world view and outlook of others will help greatly.

ANTICIPATE A SHIFT MID-DAY

Saturday, March 2, 2019:

The day begins on a serious note as you are reminded that your life is serious business, you must attain certain achievements in order to feel good about yourself. Get up early with accomplishment in mind; determine exactly what you want to get done and plan to shift focus by midafternoon.

At 2:07 PM EST the Moon will no longer so seamlessly support your ambitions as she leaves Capricorn behind to enter Aquarius. The Aquarius Moon joins with Venus newly in this innovative unconventional sign asking that you open your eyes more fully to ways of thinking and viewing the world that is not so familiar to you. Ask questions and listen to the opinions and view of those who sit on the other side of the aisle. We learn very little when we only explore in the realm with those who think and live as we do. Explore outside of all the boxes that feel true and safe for you. Open your mind to others’ views, ideas, and perspectives.

SHARE AND LISTEN

Sunday, March 3, 2019:

With the Moon moving through Aquarius, continue the theme of reaching for a greater understanding of the world-view that others hold. Allow yourself to engage with others who are different from you even as you express the parts of yourself that are most unique. Others will have more understanding of your quirks, and yet it will matter less to you if they do not. Struggle into an understanding of the way others think, it will open you to greater humanitarian sympathy and understanding.

Spend the day in social interactions. Watch as rebellion and spontaneity emerge in yourself and others. Bring folks together to share in ideas, share and listen. Break out of routines or ruts that hold you back. You can break bad habits most easily under the influence of the objective Aquarius Moon. Break free.

HEADS UP!

Next Tuesday (March 5th) Mercury will be turning retrograde. Start making your list of all the things that have been left undone over that past few months since the last Mercury retrograde (late November – early December). That list is what you will be working on, if there are projects that you know you will need to work on over the duration of Mercury’s retrograde (March 5 – March 28) get a start on them now, even a preliminary beginning of a project beforehand will enable you to continue working on it during the retrograde without issue. Do be sure to back up your computer and have your car serviced this week.

PISCES SEASON BRINGS DEEP SENSITIVITY

Monday, February 18, 2019:

The week begins with much astrological activity. You can anticipate a bit of excitement along with the need to plant a seed of seriousness in partnerships or love. The Sun forms a delightful sextile aspect to Uranus just before it enters Pisces bringing a sharp sense of excitement to your dreams and imagination. Significant changes are on the horizon that you are just beginning to get a glimmer of. With Venus conjunct Saturn you will also be offered an opportunity to stabilize your most dearly held values regarding love and money.

Excitement, imagination, ambition, and love join forces to move you into the Pisces Season. At 6:03 PM EST the Sun enters this Mutable Water sign, opening each of us to themes of sensitivity, compassion, and inspiration. While the Sun is in Pisces we encounter deep imagination and are motivated by selflessness, empathy, and intangible depths of sensitivity. These coming weeks are good for connecting with an elusive dream, taking up meditation, writing poetry, listening to music and allowing yourself to transcend the mundane world. It may be a challenge to keep the solid ground under your feet, keep your most grounded friends nearby to assist you. If you are a very grounded person be prepared to help others hold steady.

With the Moon still in Leo allow a full range of playful imagination. Go ahead and bring some fun into the day.

VIRGO FULL MOON: ILLUMINATION OF EFFORT

Tuesday, February 19, 2019:

Before the day really begins Mercury, the planet of thought and communication joins with Neptune bringing a strong focus to imagination, inspiration, and mystical thought patterns.

Reality will catch up with you as the very practical Virgo Full Moon reaches peak illumination at 10:53 AM EST. What is illuminated during a Full Moon depends on several things. First, consider what sign the Moon is in and what house holds it in your horoscope. This full Moon is in the industrious, analytical sign of Virgo. Where has your focus been over the past two weeks regarding issues of effort, work, and dedication? The results of your efforts should be clear now, showing you those areas that need adjustment and/or attention. The trine aspect from the Moon to Mars in consistent reliable Taurus suggests the availability of steadfast energy to push those efforts forward. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for efforts well done and take the extra step of forming a plan for analysis and improvement moving forward.

With a lovely sextile aspect from Mercury to Saturn before bedtime, your mind leaves all vestiges of restlessness and confusion behind and heads toward sleep on solid ground.

BRING PRACTICAL EFFORT TO ELUSIVE ENDEAVORS

Wednesday, February 20, 2019:

The passive sensitivity that the Pisces Sun highlights over the coming weeks is focalized as the Moon speaks with Neptune at 10:23 AM EST. Allow yourself to flow between a variety of emotional states as the perfectionistic Virgo Moon engages in conversations with nearly all the planets throughout the day.

With the Moon in Virgo, you may notice yourself drawn to practical activities or to a practical approach to more elusive endeavors. You may find yourself organizing and analyzing everything you do. It may be difficult for ‘good-enough’ to be good enough. Don’t allow a perceived need for perfection to stop your progress toward bringing your dreams to reality. Work on projects and tasks that will benefit from paying particular attention to details. You may seriously want to do the simple tasks of daily life, wash and fold the laundry, dust your bookshelves, clean out a junk drawer. While you are at it read Maria Kondo’s book: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

LET YOURSELF OFF THE HOOK

Thursday, February 21, 2019:

Following several days of analysis and working on the details of your life and any projects you are engaged with, you are now ready to turn your attention to good friends, partners, and socialization. The Moon enters diplomatic, relationship-oriented Libra at 9:18 AM EST. As the Moon gently flows through this charming, pleasant sign keep in mind that Libra is an Air sign which is fundamentally intellectual. What you seek are intellectual companions, friends, and social interactions. Enjoy cultural activities, go to a museum, a concert, or a small gathering with folks that stimulate your mind. It may be challenging to feel confident in your own opinions, take a stand, be decisive, or speak. Let yourself off the hook. Enjoy listening to others and let yourself see and understand every side of an issue. There is always another day to make a decision, take action, or speak up.

PLANT A SEED TO DEEPEN LOVE

Friday, February 22, 2019:

As the weekend approaches you may be asked to consider exactly how much of your most unusual beliefs and spiritual understanding to share with others. Make sure you are talking with folks who are on a similar path of understanding before sharing too much with too much innocent enthusiasm. You could find yourself saying more than the person you are engaging with can accept or even understand.

With the Moon in Libra, you long for social niceties, beauty, and balance in your environment. You may hope to create an evening of lovely romance, however, there is likely to be more intensity in the connection than you may anticipate. This is about far more than sweetness and beauty. At 10:52 PM EST Venus conjunct Pluto begins a cycle of great depth, intensification of Love, and the development of an empowered partnership. Spend the upcoming weekend developing a firm, solid, lasting, profound connection with someone you love. If you are alone or without a truly significant partnership, spend the weekend understanding and developing your personal deep values.

FIND A NEW FRAME FOR AN OLD STORY

Saturday, February 23, 2019:

Consider the story you are telling or the picture you are painting; how does that story support the new cycle of love that is beginning? Listen to how you have been telling an old story, change your perspective and tell it from your new outlook. You may be surprised to learn how that simple act will change your path forward. The stories you tell now have the power to magnify your connection to love and increase your understanding of your most significant personal values.

At 10:57 AM EST the Moon enters the deep waters of Scorpio bringing your attention to powerful buried emotions. You may find yourself willing to take a personal risk by allowing a trusted friend or partner to touch you more acutely than usual. This is a time to get serious with a loved one or spend time alone. Trying to connect on a surface level will leave you both dissatisfied and resentful.

EMPOWERMENT AND HEALING

Sunday, February 24, 2019:

With the Moon passing through Scorpio, you are naturally inclined to examine the profound, somewhat frightening side of life and love. You know that in order to grow, at times you must allow devastation to leave the ground bare for new growth. Think about how whole forests are burned to make space for the new forest to grow refreshed.

Scorpio focuses attention on the hidden emotions that most folks prefer to avoid. When the Moon is in Scorpio, we are able to feel more deeply and observe our hidden emotional motivations with clarity.

Under this Moon, you may be able to get to a deep understanding of an issue that has dogged you for years. Digging into concealed nooks and crannies of your mind and facing profound and difficult hidden truths has the power to transform your life. Do your best to uncover what is calling for empowerment and healing.

“For all its complexity, however, astrology remains fundamentally simple. It offers a time-honored system of symbols that sum up key aspects of human life while providing profound insights and practical guidance.” ~Anne M. Nordhaus-Bike
