The two recent Eclipses continue to activate turbulent, fated activity as we surf the Pisces waves and ride the Aries Fire Horse. Emotional flow (or floods) with high energy initiations are the current signature. More endings and new beginnings.
This can strain your nervous system and push you in ways that you weren’t prepared for, yet there is a bigger picture that has not yet been fully revealed. We continue to navigate a messy Mercury Retrograde in Pisces, that calls for extra spaciousness, rest and mindfulness in order to gain clarity and function.
March 2-April 9 – Mars in Pisces. At best this is Wu Wei energy, in flow around bumps and obstacles as you move in grace. Sometimes you are confused, going in circles. No confrontation is necessary; Wu Wei is intuitive and strategic, as small actions can generate meaningful results. Allow yourself to be guided in harmony with your environment rather than having rigid plans in advance. (This is a Pisces comfort zone and a Virgo stretch). If your energy is low, it’s being called within. Obey your body’s signals.
March 6- 30 – Venus in Aries. The courage of your convictions—your values, style, creativity, $$ and relationships are all on the menu and in Aries, Venus calls the shots. She doesn’t wait around for someone to give her things, she goes for them herself. Think: warrior goddess, a fierce maverick or pioneer who
won’t be deterred or silenced; who takes a stand for her values and for her Self. Watch the women rise up.
Know who you are and what you want, then decide how to activate a beginning that leads to your desired outcomes. Be bold and commit to the creativity and quality of life you want to live. Although Venus is associated with receptivity, this one makes the moves and is proactive. Make good use of self-love in action.
March 7 – Mercury Cazimi. This is the midpoint of Mercury Retrograde, as Mercury sits in the heart of the Pisces Sun. Mercury Cazimi can bring insights, messages, signs and symbols that are encoded with info (often nonverbal) that you must interpret. Clarity, focus, connection or ideas arrive to offer solutions or knowing that puts things in place. Plus, Mercury is moving into a flowing trine with benefic Jupiter, bringing a new perspective, expanded vision and maybe new solutions.
March 7 – Venus conjunct Neptune in Aries. Use this to take actions in service to your dreams. You may be passionate about your ideals, willing to take a stand and motivated to manifest them. The power is in having a vision that inspires you
to be bold. This can also show up as pushiness or aggressive behavior, so be mindful how you make your moves.
March 8 – Daylight Savings Time begins. Spring forward, lose an hour of sleep, gain an hour of light in the evening.
March 8 – Venus conjunct Saturn. Don’t misunderstand, Saturn-Venus forces you to get real and face whatever requires an adjustment, decision or boundary. Financial restrictions or a large expense may appear or relationship issues arise that require negotiating. You may set boundaries around your time and energy (valuing your Self), affecting your choices about love and other relationships.
Saturn honors work and limits, will work/wait now for a long term desired result. Venus in Aries wants what it wants NOW, but Saturn says: “Not yet; first you have to (fill in the blank)” or you may have to give up one thing to have another. Create a plan to actualize your dream or to begin. Don’t be deterred by the work you have to do. This is how you build inner muscle and self-esteem, and it will be worth it.
March 9 – Mercury trine Jupiter. This can bring good news, smart plans, an inspiring message and a big picture vision with can-do optimism. However, Mercury is Retrograde and Jupiter is Stationing Direct, with a super-strong broadcast. It’s possible to over-promise, over-commit or over-estimate what’s
doable or possible, so be mindful when making promises or big decisions. With Mercury is Retro, you may not have all the info, you may be confused or misunderstand details. But opening to the highest potential can magnetize contacts, info and ideas that are very helpful, so use it, but don’t commit to anything that you can’t adjust as needed going forward.
March 10 – Venus sextile Pluto. This is an alchemical duo, perfect for diving deep into love, relationships, $$, values and creativity to transform old patterns and awaken on a profound inner level. All or nothing; it is magnetic, powerful and intimate. Venus-Pluto in harmony is a magnetic attraction (romance or otherwise), an intense connection that’s deep, passionate and can be obsessive, but is meaningful.
Although it’s harmonious, there’s a setup for both passion and conflict here. Venus is in independent Aries, who is not submissive and Pluto is controlling by nature. So even though it’s a sextile, the potential for a clash is built in, based on autonomy vs. control. The higher expression is the awareness and integration of issues that block the heart from opening to love (safety/trust issues, worthiness, trauma, habit), which likely won’t happen in a day, but it can be the beginning of a major healing.
March 10 – Jupiter Stations Direct. Jupiter prepares to move forward after being Retrograde since Nov ’25, when you reconsidered your ideals, ethics and beliefs in order to emerge with clarity about your goals and direction. Or at the least, knowing what you don’t want. Jupiter in Cancer is about family, care, generosity and community. Feelings matter. Emotional safety matters. Speaking up matters.
Jupiter invites Higher Truth, growth and evolution, beliefs and integrity. It magnifies whatever it touches, generating confidence, energy and enthusiasm so you can take action and move forward. Opportunities may appear out of the blue and projects that were stalled may now be resurrected with new life. With Mercury still trine Jupiter, communication and contacts should be abundant and networking opportunities plentiful.
Jupiter’s optimism can override a multitude of sins with a positive spirit that is inspiring and contagious. The benefits of Jupiter will help to keep your spirits up as you navigate some of the challenges built in to the current landscape, but it’s all part of the trip.
Mercury Retrograde in Pisces continues to retrace old territory for a new perspective, new info, to redo, revise, review. Release the need to hurry and allow yourself clear what’s no longer needed in order to create a fresh space for what’s new.
Your Inner Guidance is your GPS, your yes-no, as external info is not always reliable, especially now. Attune within to feel what’s true for you. Conventional wisdom is not the appropriate energy for guidance now. That’s why you need to be able to trust yourself, and the voice of your Higher Self is never fear-based.
You can have a wondrous personal experience, developing your contributions, while surrounded by heavy energies and crumbling structures. We are the rescue and recovery team, here to stabilize each with our own special piece of the puzzle. Believe that. Your presence matters more than you know.
Namaste, my friend. I am so grateful for your presence on our journey together.
