Overview
Mercury enters Aries on March 13th, increasing the speed of ideas and communication. Words will be driven by impulse and courage, leading to a significant push on March 18th, when Mercury conjoins Venus Rx. The reevaluation or intensification of money, relationships and values will be put into words. If there’s a Venus-themed issue that you’ve been dissatisfied with, Mercury can bring it out into the open. The desire to pull back and put self first will become very clear. Too, intensified value in something from the past can be realized if you speak up at the right time.
March 14th features an exact conjunction of the Sun, Pallas and Chiron in Pisces. What began on March 10th, with Mercury’s conjunction to Pallas and Chiron, will come to fruition. The March 12th Virgo Full Moon may have already brought things to a head.
Pallas is about integration – she helps you see patterns. In this case, those patterns will involve what hurts, or where you feel weak. The Sun will shine a light on the situation, making the problem impossible to avoid. The healing strategy will also be clear. You can integrate a weakness into your life, because Chiron’s wounds never disappear. But they do heal.
Aries
Sun/Pallas/Chiron in your sector of secrets suggests an “aha” moment about a hidden wound or vulnerability. Watch for intuitive understanding of unseen patterns that connect to a weak spot. These patterns may be ways of coping with what you can’t openly acknowledge.
Mercury into your sign, conjunct Venus Rx, pinpoints an area where you want to pull back or put things on hold. Mercury makes it easy to communicate your changing needs, whether this involves a relationship, work you’re doing on yourself, or a creative/financial prospect. Second thoughts are a possibility – give yourself time to sort through what you really want. You may have another change of heart when Venus stations direct. Alternatively, there may be a relationship or career issue that you want to concentrate on. In some cases, Mercury/Venus Rx can attract a significant person who reminds you why you put yourself first.
Taurus
Sun/Pallas/Chiron in your social sector help you connect the dots regarding a group issue or friendship. Empathy for the vulnerabilities of others can be integrated with ideas about helping them. Too, your moment of public embarrassment or insecurity could illuminate coping strategies for yourself.
Mercury into your hidden sector, with Venus Rx , suggests that your intuition is bang on. Pay attention to what/who draws your interest – there’s a clue about what you really want (but haven’t fully acknowledged) or what you’re missing. If you feel an inexplicable urge to pull back, that’s another clue- you need time to reevaluate what makes you feel happy, loved and vital. For some, a secret attraction could intensify.
Gemini
Sun/Pallas/Chiron in your career sector is a subtle but important turning point. Recent difficulties with management, lack of success or your professional image can be confronted and clarified.

In some cases, a relationship could heat up as a discussion flips the switch from platonic to romantic.
Cancer
