TUESDAY - Mercury retrograde conjunct North Node
WEDNESDAY - Venus square Jupiter, Sun sextile Uranus, NEW MOON IN PISCES
FRIDAY - Sun enters Aries/Spring Equinox, Mercury stations direct
SATURDAY - Mars trine Jupiter
SUNDAY - Sun conjunct Neptune
What magic is this?! Do I like the look of this week? Yes, I do. AND this is the background energy for the new astro year which is certainly GOOD NEWS. We just want to be knowing our values/what we really value and choosing to GROW WHAT MATTERS.
NOTICE we get the very late degree (AGAIN!) New Moon BEFORE the Solstice.
This is about RELEASING the very old, stored and stagnant water/emotion BEFORE our fiery fresh start. We have a very, very rare opportunity - once-in-a-lifetime, no once-in-many-lifetimes - for the Sun to reach 0-degrees Aries/the beginning of the beginning/the Equinox with this degree so highly activated from last month's Saturn/Neptune conjunction (dissolving reality but also MAKING THE DREAM REAL) plus a waxing/growing MOON. And we have Jupiter/growth/luck answering to the Moon and in a smooth aspect to Mars and Mars ruling Aries plus an opportunistic aspect with change/the future!
I mean, come on! Forget the collective distractions for a moment - what are we personally going to do with this?!
Collectively this week we have -
Mercury/North Node - a karmic message arrives or has already arrived and here is where we are re-thinking it, remember/understand
Pisces New Moon - emotional closure/release/CHOOSING to forgive and forget
Equinox/Mercury Direct - clarity
and ignition, BEGIN AGAIN
Mars trine Jupiter - act with faith/confidence, what do we want to grow?
Sun conjunct Neptune - vision of the new myth, following the vision
(keep in mind Saturn/the reality check is next up, so everything will meet Neptune/the dream and then Saturn/the reality so things get reality tested very quickly - look at U.S. actions in Iran and how fast this bubble of the administration's delusion hit the reality wall - this is happening in our own lives, too. Think of this, personally, as a little test of how badly you want something and also if you are totally delusional with this thing you are doing - this is why we need to know our values/what we really value and not waste ourselves and if you don't know what you want then just keep dissolving the old gunk/grief/clear the shelves for the new stuff to find you when it, and you, are ready)
Let's unpack the week and I will do a little for each sign and then I will come back with the New Moon post.
TUESDAY - Mercury backs into the North Node of Fate - this is their 2nd of three meetings. The first was on February 12th and the final meeting when things get formed up will be next Monday (the 23rd).
So, this week is the middle-meeting with Mercury retrograde - information re-surfacing, conversations re-turning, karmic contacts/words re-appearing and maybe truths emerging that clarify what last week's Mars activation at this same degree actually meant.
Keep in mind the Pisces North Node is asking for surrender, compassion, faith in the larger unfolding/those bigger hands than ours that have the wheel. Mercury meeting the North Node in Pisces can offer us a COURSE CORRECTION in perception and opportunity to reset VERY OLD (past-life/ancestral/forgotten/behind us) and sometimes very painful storylines.
WEDNESDAY - is a BIG day. We have our FINAL 28-degree New Moon - starting late in the game/late in the day/just when we think something is over ... it isn't :) There is lots of wrapping up of unfinished storylines.
Happening with ancient ruler Jupiter in contact with Venus and the Sun sextiling Uranus is screaming at us to PAY ATTENTION. This is important.
We will talk about this in depth in its own post, but we can see the end of Pisces - and we have had ALOT of energy here in the past year - is about the end of illusions, release of old dreams, forgiveness cycles, spiritual/ancestral closure, dissolving old baggage before the Aries new beginning that is coming. The Venus/Jupiter can make what we really value very OBVIOUS/also inflate our expectations and make things look better than they turn out to be, so keep this in mind, too. Sun/Uranus can bring sudden flashes of genius/awakening/liberation.
We will unpack this in the next post!
FRIDAY - The Spring Equinox - start of a new season/beginning of the astrological year is ALWAYS a big deal as the Sun moves onto the Aries Point (O-degree of a cardinal sign, in this case the seat of creation). This year the degree is red-hot from the Saturn/Neptune conjunction in February. Mercury stationing direct at the same time speaks of forward-movement, but let's give things a couple days to get MOVING. We are going to have Mars move across this degree in early April and Mars is the TRIGGER, so what do we want to have available for him to trigger?! Think about it!
Mercury stations direct. Always good news for things that have been held up/acting wonky. Give him a couple days to get moving. Expect narratives to clarify.
SUNDAY - the Sun in Aries catches up with Neptune - and we know Saturn is coming into view. This is about heightened intuition, collective emotion, spiritual or artistic inspiration, grief/love/forgiveness, but also potential confusion or projection. Sun/Neptune can be a humbling time as the ego dissolves a little bit each year, but happening at the beginning of Aries is different than previous years where they met in Pisces. Neptune is not so strong/Aries is a fire sign that the Sun likes. Dreaming/visioning is powerful now.
OK, here is a bit by sign.
Aries Rising | Chart ruler is Mars. Mars trine Jupiter this week. Focus is on inner clearing before a personal reboot. The Pisces New Moon lands in your 12th house as Mercury stations direct bringing emotional/spiritual release, closure with something behind the scenes/from the past maybe even ancient past, rest before a new cycle Your ruler Mars making a trine to Jupiter suggests quiet momentum building. Something you’ve been processing internally could soon lead to confident action. By the Equinox, the Sun enters Aries and your personal new year (and our collective New Year) begins.
Taurus Rising | Chart ruler is Venus. Venus squares Jupiter this week. Focus is on friends, community and future goals. The New Moon activates your 11th house as Mercury stations direct and speaks of alliances shifting, new communities forming and hopes and plans re-calibrating. With Venus square Jupiter, there could be overpromising or emotional enthusiasm in social situations or with groups/tech/goals. Watch for who is truly aligned with your VALUES.
Gemini Rising | Chart ruler is Mercury. Mercury is conjunct the North Node and stationing direct. Focus is on direction, career, reputation and public role. This is a major week for Gemini risings. Your ruler Mercury meets the North Node, stations direct and does it all in your 10th house. This speaks of clarity about career direction, important professional conversations and a shift in public reputation or visibility. It’s like a course correction in life direction.
Cancer Rising | Chart ruler is the Moon. The Moon is ruling a Pisces New Moon in your 9th house this week, so focus is on your beliefs, learning, and worldview. This New Moon could bring philosophical realizations, spiritual insights or travel/education/legal or media themes. The Mars trine Jupiter (with Jupiter in Cancer) may amplify confidence in your personal path. Something you believe in deeply could become energized or defended.
Leo Rising | Chart ruler is the Sun. The Sun is entering Aries and conjunct Neptune this week. Focus is on deep emotional transformation, merged money/taxes/inheritance/debts, intimacy. The New Moon lands in your 8th house of intimacy, shared resources, psychological breakthroughs. Then the Sun enters fellow fire sign Aries activating your 9th house. This can feel like emerging from emotional depths into renewed inspiration. From water to fire, so don't douse yourself out Leo!
Virgo Rising | Chart ruler is Mercury. Mercury is conjunct the North Node and stationing direct this week, so there will likely be a focus on partnerships and important relationships. This is a major week for Virgo risings. The Pisces New Moon falls in your 7th house and speaks of defining relationship boundaries, resolving misunderstandings and karmic encounters. Since Mercury rules you and is stationing, conversations with partners could become pivotal turning points.
Libra Rising | Chart ruler is Venus. Venus squares Jupiter this week. The focus can be on work, health and daily routines/pets. The New Moon activates your 6th house of work routines, wellness habits, your daily responsibilities. You feel best when things are balanced Libra, so if something has gotten out of whack here is the energy to get back on track. Venus square Jupiter could bring busy schedules or overcommitment, so again, balance is the key.
Scorpio Rising | Chart rulers are Mars and Pluto. Mars trines Jupiter this week. Focus is on creativity/creative projects, recreation, joy, children and romance. The Pisces New Moon lights up your 5th house and Mercury stations direct here so forward movement with artistic inspiration, romantic developments and re-connecting with pleasures/things that have been postponed or held up. Mars trine Jupiter gives confidence and emotional courage to express yourself more freely.
Sagittarius Rising | Chart ruler is Jupiter. Jupiter is receiving a Mars trine this week and brings a focus on home, roots, and family and the past/spirituality/release/addiction/imagination/music. The New Moon lands in your 4th house where Mercury stations direct. This speaks of family developments, moving/changes within the home or family or home decisions and emotional healing related to the past. Mars trine Jupiter can bring protective energy around loved ones.
Capricorn Rising | Chart ruler is Saturn. There can be a focus on communication and decisions. The New Moon activates your 3rd house and Mercury stations direct here, so things can turn around/start moving with communications, siblings, writing, planning, conversations, commerce, news and announcements. Mercury stationing direct may resolve a confusing situation involving information or logistics.
Aquarius Rising -| Chart rulers are Saturn and Uranus. The Sun sextiles Uranus this week. Focus is on money, resources, and values. The Pisces New Moon activates your 2nd house. You may rethink income streams, spending priorities and what you truly value. The Sun/Uranus aspect could bring unexpected financial insights or opportunities.
Pisces Rising | Chart rulers are Neptune and Jupiter. Jupiter receives that trine from Mars this week and Neptune meets the Sun. There could be a focus on identity and personal rebirth. This New Moon occurs in the final degrees of your own sign Pisces. That makes it especially powerful for you and speaks of endings of an old identity, emotional release, preparation for a BRAND NEW chapter. Then the Sun meets Neptune in Pisces heightening your intuition and sensitivity. You may feel deeply connected to the collective mood this week. Know this and plan accordingly (setting boundaries/time limits as needed).
The "Aries" energy is for the collective/all of us, too. Just keep in mind with these minis by sign that I am only looking at what your chart ruler is doing and the New Moon by house (which can vary with your chart) - the weekly is still your best bet to read for a fuller story :)
We feel it. We forgive it. We release it and then we BEGIN AGAIN.
xo all - back with the New Moon!
