Astrological Review March 18 – March 27
Changes of any sort can make people nervous. For some people, changing laundry detergent sends shivers up their spine, but the changes we experience this week will impose a new set of attitudes that are worthy of real scrutiny and consideration.
Let’s get real, this upcoming period can cause gasps of frustration, but I believe the nature of what is really occurring around you, whether personal or global, will lead to some much-needed clarity.
A quick overall summation explains the upcoming pivotal markers that can aid our understanding of current conditions.
On Wednesday, March 18th, we experienced a new Moon in emotional Pisces. This New Moon emphasizes a new chapter and points toward sharing and giving to those less fortunate.
On Friday, March 20th, Mercury goes direct ( thank goodness) and stalled projects can start to crank forward.
On Saturday, March 21st, energetic Mars in Pisces trines Jupiter in Cancer, and places the emphasis on food, families, as well as home and hearth.
A major combined (kapow) transit occurs on Wednesday, the 25th, when the Sun conjuncts Saturn in the sign of Aries. This transit is called a (Saturn Cazimi) because these two planets link arms in very close degree which has not been seen since 1996!
Simultaneously, the Sun in Aries merrily sextiles Pluto in Aquarius. Think love, brotherhood, and peace in our time with an assertive one-two-punch. This brings to mind the theme song from the Broadway Musical HAIR- loud, emotionally aggressive, with a great rhythmic score. Yahoo!
These two aforementioned transits butt heads where we see traditional boundary-filled values clash with social justice themes of diversity and equality, a wild ride for sure.
Lastly, I add the transit of Friday, March 27th, as an important and somewhat truce-filled influence when practical Saturn in Aries sextiles Pluto in Aquarius. The sextile energy in this case is less stressful and more forgiving. Therefore, we may see a detente between structure-laden Saturn and blow it out of the water Pluto in (think-outside-the-box) Aquarius.
In summary, we can expect a week of sudden angry outbursts followed by a few days of hat-in-hand reconciliation-type pronouncements.
In closing, this is a week of provocative proclamations that can create over-the-top reactions. Therefore, I suggest spending time with loved ones, visiting your local library, and stocking up on your favorite snacks and foods.
