Today's Astrology Forecast | Friday, March 26, 2021 - green light GO (remove/adjust to pebble then run with it), words now set out course

 

 

The Moon is in Virgo now - we are nourished/nurtured by organization, planning, being of service, routine, the creation of boundaries through the acquisition of knowledge and skills (being a part of something larger without losing ourselves). First, she inconjuncts the Aries Sun, then trines Uranus at 2:16PM EDT - change is good, here we are being more comfortable with the strange/unusual. She'll square Mars at 10:16PM EDT - and keep in mind, Virgo's ruler Mercury has been in square to Mars all week, so now Mars in Gemini is being hit from Pisces AND Virgo. So maybe just as the Pisces square is unwinding - that argument put to bed, feeling compassion/forgiveness - it gets re-energized through something related to Virgo (our Virgo natal house). Avoid reactivating an old argument (this might be a necessary part of a process, but maybe not) - get some exercise, take a cold shower, make something.

The BIG NEWS today and we'll talk about this more in the Full Moon post - the Sun meets Venus (Cazimi!) at 5 degrees Aries AND Mars meets the North Node at 13 degrees Gemini. 

 

And here's the crazy thing about this - last summer when Venus had her 40 days/40 night retrograde through Gemini - she met the Sun at 13 degrees on June 3rd. THAT meeting was the beginning of something and now here, as she meets the Sun again, at the Sun's superior conjunction, there is a development/conclusion/result (happening at 5 Aries) WHILE Mars is re-activating that 13 degrees Gemini where the Venus/Sun all started!! Amazing. Fated. We will talk about this more in the Full Moon post.

Taurus/Libras, especially the rising peeps, could find themselves in the spotlight. For all of us, here is a red hot spotlight on our love, values, relationships, self-esteem, beauty. With Virgo in Aries, our ability to receive love/love ourselves is made visible to us. There can be PROGRESS now with love/relationships/old anger issues/money. 

At the same time Venus is hanging with the Sun, Mars is reactivating that powerful 13 degrees Gemini (Venus Star Point from last June) - our actions moving us forward/conversation/news pulling us forward. 

 

THIS IS A BRIGHT GREEN LIGHT!

What we want for ourselves/what we are starting/maybe what we have had to fight for or fight our way toward (and this can somehow be connected to two things or two ways forward) - HERE is where movement is happening.

The fly in the ointment is today's Sun/Moon Waxing Inconjunct - the Virgo/Aries. With this weekend's Libra Full Moon approaching - here is this month's final challenge before that. The Moon puts our attention on a problem. Something needs fixing/tweaking. Some t's must be crossed and i's dotted. Maybe someone/something needs our assistance/skills. Remember we had Vesta bringing this to our attention earlier and she's retrograde, so this is probably something old that we have been avoiding/trying for too long to perfect/fix. 

 

With that bright green light GO - there is one fly in the ointment, something Virgoan, that needs to be taken care of FIRST. 

Inconjuncts are rocks and hard places that require adjustment. There is no perfect solution. This is Aries cardinal fire vs Virgo's mutable earth. Aries has no patience for the tedious details that Virgo is mired in. Virgo sees Aries as going off half-cocked/unprepared. The key is to use that practical Virgo to curb Aries impulsivity (somewhat, some impulsivity might be needed now - it's Aries season) without tossing dirt on the fire. And use Aries passion to curb Virgo's perfectionism/immersion in the pieces - without avoiding those tedious details/the problem that needs to be addressed/without scorching the earth.

This rock and hard place doesn't have to be some big thing. Here's the pebble that only leads us to the rock if we pretend we don't feel the pebble. We need to get that pebble out of our shoe!

Keep in mind the big picture message - the direction we are being pushed/pulled into now is THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

 

Venus is showing us what we want now/what we love and value now. There might be alot of financial stuff going on. A conversation/idea/information that comes in now can set our course. 

We'll talk more about this in the Full Moon post, but today is a good day for some kind of action/the stuff that comes to light to be mostly a good thing. It won't be long before the retrogrades will start and then Eclipse season - HERE is a time we are still mostly in control of what we can do, so HERE is the time to do it. 

 

It doesn't have to be some big thing, small is BIG.

(efforts later will require multiple stops and starts and sudden curveballs, why not take action now and avoid some of this stuff!)

Today's astrology forecast | Thursday, March 25, 2021 - all day void moon, a crossroads, challenged by our beliefs, sticking to the facts, nurturing the new, loving ourselves

 

 

The Moon in Leo goes void at 9:27AM EDT off an opposition to Jupiter. Our need to shine/have fun at odds with the group/group expansion/collective enthusiasm. Maybe some "me" vs "we". Expect some wonk, but challenges will tend toward "nothing comes of it" since the void Moon isn't interacting with any other bodies until tomorrow afternoon's trine to Uranus. That opposition to Jupiter will be felt though. This is a long void/all day - she doesn't get into practical Virgo until 11:26PM EDT. 

 

This is also the day Mercury, in intuitive/dreamy Pisces squares the Nodes (Gemini/Sag) at 13 degrees. This is a crossroads. A choice. 

 

A decision needs to be made, and with Mercury in foggy Pisces (and ruling the North Node) this might not be so easy. Lean into that Gemini - the facts/the local/your Gemini house theme. With Gemini, there might be more than one answer/more than one conversation/idea and with Mercury in Pisces we are using our intuition/collective intuition. We can't be in lalaland with any of this though. Facts trump hope here. Jupiter ruling the South Node (the past, where we are now) and challenging the Leo Moon today, is intending for us to feel what our Leo heart needs/wants (through the opposition). And keep in mind - and we'll talk about this in the Full Moon in Libra post next - Venus (in Aries) is moving toward the Sun - our ability to receive love/open our heart, love ourselves is spotlighted.

Hard aspects ask us to look for smoother/easier aspects as a way through -and today we have an opportunistic sextile from Mars in Gemini (12 degrees) to Ceres (in Aries). The opportunity comes through that Ceres/Aries - the nurturing of the NEW. The nurturing of the physical self. Mars in Gemini wants to move - quickly and sometimes in multiple directions at once - through action/words and this sextile is a FLASHING LIGHT pointing at our Aries house. Actions/conversations HERE are what is needed/our way through this.

With Mercury squaring the South Node we are unhooking ourselves from old beliefs/expectations. In Pisces, Mercury uses compassion/forgiveness/the soft dissolve. Whatever didn't work out, it's time to make a decision that points in a new direction. It's time for a new conversation that probably won't be totally comfortable.

Today's Astrology Forecast | Wednesday, March 24th, 2021 - a need to roar without bringing down the house

 

 

The Moon is in Leo now - we are nourished through our creations/creativity, attention, pride, generosity. She has alot going on today. She trined the Sun at 12:53AM EDT, squares Uranus at 9:45AM EDT, opposes Saturn at 1:38PM EDT and finally sextiles Mars at 4:08PM EDT, so other than that trine, a bunch of challenging aspects and then an opportunity through action/words. 

The trine to the Sun is this month's Waxing Trine - Leo/Aries, so encouraging courage/bravado/initiative/passion. This is like 'here we are on our own center stage showing the world what we have to offer', unafraid of the tomatoes. The Moon's follow-up aspects - that square with Uranus (watch your wallet!) and opposition to Saturn (not a day to be taking on 'the man') look like some tomatoes might be flying though. That Uranus/Saturn - some rebellion/freedom/individuality that gets shut down. We are only going to get so far with these aspects. We can't skip work and go to the beach and not get caught.

 

The Leo Moon needs to roar, but if we are prideful/overbearing, bringing too much mama-drama, we will likely regret it. Hand slapped. Go stand in the corner until you can apologize.

On the other hand, and we always get at least two, there is that 'all's well that end's well, sextile to Mars at the end of all this clatter. Another day where we could live this week's (fight and make-up/clear the air thing we have going on) energy all rolled into one day. The tomatoes go into the sauce and onto the dough and, look we have some pepperoni in the fridge (does anyone actually have pepperoni in their fridge?) and we all have pizza.

Do your Leo, the Moon will require we stand out/up in some way/have some fun/be creative - but just don't take it too far - you can drive your flashy car, but you can't drive it to Vegas or speed past a police man. There could be some unexpected twists and turns, the need to not overspend/over-value, the need to work within limits (can't just play all day), not be a bragger and adhere to our social/collective responsibilities.

 

The sextile with Mars tonight - Leo/Gemini - good for standing out in a good way. Our words find the right ear. Our creativity the right avenue. There are multiple ways through this, we can see that now.

Today's Astrology Forecast | Tuesday, March 23rd, 2021 - get it done early, no dark alleys, stay flexible, no pushing, what you are fighting about won't really be what you are fighting about

The Moon, home in Cancer, goes void at 11:26AM EDT off an opposition to Pluto. She is void most of the day until she moves into fiery Leo at 5:36PM EDT. The void is best for routine work around your home or office, for purging/de-cluttering/elimination. 

Just before midnight EDT, Mercury (in Pisces) reaches her/his exact square with Mars (in Gemini). This has been in play since the Gemini Moon did the same thing last Friday and will be in play for a couple more days as they separate. 

The energy is ripe for arguments/accidents. 

 

Drive safely. No dark alleys. And I should say, some of this energy, and maybe most, may have already played out, this would be most potent while applying (I think I lived this entire week yesterday). 

 

Mars in Gemini will want to go/move/say it - spit it out. Mars will be antsy. We will say to ourselves, "I am not going to say anything/not going to fight/get mad" and then there we are blurting it all out. Mercury in Pisces will want to drift/take his time. We will say to ourselves, "I will rise above this" and then there we will be sulking/crying/feeling every single time (even those we can't remember) we have felt this way before. Conversations/getting to the facts might require patience/compassion. A square to Mars probably means there is something we NEED TO GET AROUND/GET THROUGH. A square to Mercury probably means there is something we NEED TO KNOW, SAY, HEAR that isn't going to be comfortable. 

 

The astrology tells us there is something we must move through here to get to that FORWARD MOVEMENT FEELING/pot of gold at the end of the week. The more we push this off, the more anxiety we will have to deal with. Once the conversation is had, the action taken, the decision made - we will start to feel better. Forgiveness/compassion/connection. This doesn't mean we push and shove though - this isn't going to work with Mercury in Pisces. We need to talk/move, but we have to allow this situation to unfold as it will to some extent. 

 

With a square to Pisces jumping in just twists an ankle. If life seems to pull us off course now - just go with the flow of that. 

 

The key to any mutable square is our ability to roll with things/stay flexible. And keep in mind both our North Node, our collective way forward (in Gemini) is in a mutable sign and the ruler of our North Node (in Pisces) is in a mutable sign. Flexibility/versatility is key. With Pisces, we can connect through compassion/forgiveness - letting go of the need for perfection/the need to fix something that isn't totally fixable. This doesn't mean stopping. What can be done? With Gemini, deal with the facts, but keep communications light. It won't take deep conversation/analysis to get things moving/back on track. 

 

And, keep in mind with Pisces, we are dealing with 12th house stuff - the stuff that is behind us. And the Nodes of Fate are triggered all week. The argument/the accident/the antsy move/words that DON'T WANT TO WAIT - whatever the tension/frustration is, this is somehow needing to happen now. Needing to be dealt with. The argument about the sticky coffee spoon won't really be about a sticky coffee spoon. The argument WILL MATTER. The way the argument ends WILL MATTER most.

 

Don't push, let the answers come in their own time. 

Think about - why would life be pushing you to GO (you have to get around that rock or you will be eaten by ZOMBIES or your boss or the IRS) AND giving you slippery roads/foggy skies/squishy brakes at the same time? And you have a hangover, have I said that? And the zombies are those fast bastards in the Korean and UK films, not the meandering American zombies. What would be the point? What would you be learning? Maybe your answer - which might not be my answer or anyone's else's answer - maybe your answer tells you something about what you need to know.
