Overview
This week is all about fresh starts.
March 20th brings the Sun’s Aries ingress, and the Spring Equinox. The blood flows a bit faster as fresh possibilities emerge. And the vibe is kicked up a notch due to a last quarter square between the Capricorn Moon and Aries Sun. Tension between old and new adds urgency – the push to move forward will be irresistible.
On March 23rd, Mercury in Aries squares Pluto, then opposes Jupiter Rx on March 24th. Ideas/communication will be confrontational and enthusiastic. The conjunction between Mercury and Uranus (March 26th) tops it off with a clarifying burst of truth. What must be said or understood will come out, no matter what. Jupiter in the mix can emphasize lucky breaks or words that are out of control (maybe both).
March 25th is the midpoint of Venus’ Rx transit. The Sun conjoins Venus, spotlighting a key issue of desire or value. What do you truly want? What makes you happy? These are basic questions, but the subject matter is often invalidated. Sun/Venus Rx won’t let you ignore a primal source of joy or self-esteem. And it may have nothing to do with what your heart’s currently set on.
This will be a new beginning, directly connected to the Aries New Moon on March 27th.
