Tomorrow morning, we enter the First Quarter phase with a quick, clever Gemini Moon conjunct Jupiter as both square the Sun in Pisces.
It’s time to set goals for this lunar cycle. We’ve got a bright, active chart to work with.
The Moon sextiles Venus and Chiron, leaving Venus to embrace the Wounded Healer. Jupiter likewise sextiles Venus, bringing the benefics together. Ideas are sparking, creative and healing.
The Moon has slipped out of bounds, making Gemini cleverness even crazier than usual. Check your pockets––something might go missing, or maybe you reach in and find a wren or a rabbit.
The Moon moves to square Saturn, which might slow her down a bit, but not today. Tomorrow, perhaps, the Moon and Saturn can team up to make some dreams real.
The Sun moves to conjunct Saturn, a cazimi to inspire Saturn and warm his chilly soul.
Mercury moves to conjunct Venus while sextiling Pluto. The Mercury–Venus relationship is complex and transformative right now and for weeks to come.
Although there will be only one exact conjunction (March 11), Venus and Mercury will move together in a slow dance until the end of this month.
Venus just turned retrograde in early Aries, and will move back toward Mercury, who will be stationing retrograde soon. Mercury’s retrograde happens inside Venus’ and over almost identical degrees.
Mercury will complete theirs first, but the two travel together for some weeks, only a few minutes apart. If you plan to work with Venus or Mercury during these retrogrades, do plan to include both. They reinforce each other. It will be intriguing to track the pattern of who is first, when each reenters Pisces, when each stations, and so on. Much to learn!
The challenge of these times continues.
Neptune and the North Node of the Moon remain at the dissolution of all things at the end of Pisces.
Mars, still out of bounds, exhausted, and cranky, trines the Sun and Saturn. We veer between the desire to protect and the desire to smash whatever stands in our way. Get extra sleep, remember to breathe, and stay grounded.
Chiron squares Mars from Aries. There are lessons to learn in self control, and the balance between self direction and caring for the needs of others.
Plug in to the bright Gemini Moon-and-Jupiter. We need the light, the ingenuity, the tricksiness. Sometimes some sleight of hand creates a diversion, while we slip in through a side door, and steal the usurper’s crown.
Maybe Jupiter and the Moon will act as divine twins, at least for the day. Are you ready for it?
