March 10th – 16th

The Benefits of Stillness & Silence 

 

This week’s headline items: Venus remains exalted all week; Mars remains exalted until Saturday; Mercury starts to slow down (station) on Monday and intensifies its station at 9 degrees of Aries on Wednesday.

A powerful Full Moon-Lunar Eclipse in Virgo becomes exact Thursday night; Mercury comes to a halt very early on Saturday, starting its 3- week Retrograde phase; Mars ends its Station phase on Saturday (it remains direct), and Venus will end hers on Sunday (but continuing in Retrograde).

Daylight Savings Time has begun in the United States & Canada — and I will post all astrological alignments and planetary movements in EDT (US-Eastern Daylight Savings Time). Until March 30th, please consider this additional one-hour time difference when converting to your time zone.

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 12 hours), Friday early afternoon (for a little over 1 hour), and Sunday early morning (for a little over 21.5 hours).

 

Before we get to this week’s Forecast, a gentle reminder…

This week’s Forecasting Forum will be LIVE on Wednesday, March 12th at 3:30pm PDT/6:30pm EDT/10:30pm London-time and March 13th at 9:30am Sydney Time — we will cover Neptune’s first pass through adventurous, fast-paced, spirited ARIES!

Neptune will leave Pisces and enter 0 degrees of Aries (for the first time in 163 years) on March 30th. A truly momentous event!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, March 10th

Monday, the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving Leo all day; it will journey there until Wednesday very early morning. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.

We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness… So, hand out some compliments — let people know how proud you are of them, and tell them how much you love them.

Come from the heart in this and all other things. Be honest and authentic as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

Monday from 6am – 4:20pm EDT, we feel excited about life; if you are awake, things flow nicely, so connect with people that bring you joy. Since connecting with others from the heart and having fun feels easy, we might want to take advantage of that enthusiasm.

Venus is currently in retrograde, so it’s best to connect with people you already know. (Moon in Leo trines Mercury and Venus in Ariesexact at 9:56am & 12:21pm EDT)

Monday from 4:45pm – 10:45pm EDT, we have the opportunity to connect to others and start a new adventure or simply do something creative that gets us excited.

It is also an opportunity to see the bigger picture if we choose to, or perhaps shift our perspective by talking it through with someone else (Moon in Leo sextiles Jupiter in Gemini, exact at 7:46pm EDT).

Also on Monday, Mercury starts to slow down (station) at 8-9.5º of Aries preparing to come to a halt on March 15th at 9.5º of Aries (when it will begin its first full Retrograde phase of the year). More on that later this week…

This station will last until March 21st, and we will feel Mercury’s energies more intensely during this time.

Pay attention to anything “in your face” in the following areas: short travels, adventures, personal goals, transportation, communication, and any associated technologies. You will get a chance to re-organize yourself once Mercury goes retrograde (after March 15th).

For the next 11 days, we need to be patient with ourselves and others. Going with the flow is recommended at this time. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, particularly if it contains new information connected to learning or exploring something new.

We might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel “off” or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready or travel somewhere — especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, click here).

Be extra patient if you intend to buy, sell, or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected to planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after April 25th, when the post-Shadow phase is over.

If you are familiar with your natal chart — take a look at your natal Mercury and where 9.5º of Aries lands in your chart to see how this might play out for you. If you prefer that I take a look at this for you, feel free to book a 25-minute Soul Purpose Reading.

Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) or personal planets in 7-11 degrees of Aries, Libra, Cancer, or Capricorn.

A gentle reminder: The Early Bird Special for this week’s Forecasting Forum ends tonight at 11:59pm EDT! Take advantage now and join us live as we talk about Neptune’s brand-new journey through Aries. A sign that Neptune last entered 163 years ago!

Powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse in Virgo — the article

On March 14th, at 2:55am EDT/6:55am GMT, the Moon in 24 degrees of Virgo opposes the Sun in Pisces.

The entrance of the Moon into Virgo on March 12th starts the energetic build-up towards this powerful Full Moon — if you are an active Member of my online community, you may also want to watch my video on the subject

Before we get started: I wanted to invite all of you to join me for a FREE EVENT on Friday, March 14th at 12pm EDT/4pm GMT — the day of the Lunar Eclipse. It’s called The Star Hour with Astrologer Coach Sonja Francis” on Soulivity.com

==> RSVP here to save the date to your calendar and join us live. It’s a Q&A session: Everything you always wanted to know about Astrology and were afraid to ask…

This Full Moon is also a Total Lunar Eclipse; more about this below. Eclipses are extra powerful New and Full Moons, signaling significant endings and beginnings. They occur close to the same place in the zodiac every 19 years.

There are two Eclipse Seasons per year. They give us the opportunity to upgrade our energy, emotional, and mental bodies, together with our physical experience.

In 2025, we will encounter four Eclipses (two in March and two in September). These will be similar in sign and degree to the Eclipses in March and September of 2006.

This Eclipse Season started on Feb. 27th (at the time of the last New Moon) and lasts until April 21st (past the next Full Moon in Libra).

During this time, it’s important to stay grounded and flexible. Avoid rushing into decisions until April 21st.

If you feel a strong urge to take action, do your best to observe that urge unless it’s connected to something that arises naturally. If you are unsure about a potential action, waiting until Eclipse Season is over is best.

During a Lunar Eclipse, the Full Moon slowly dims as it passes through the Earth’s shadow; this stimulates our emotional body and increases our awareness of unconscious patterns and thought forms.

As noted above, this Full Moon is a Total Lunar Eclipsethese occur when the Moon moves entirely into the central, darkest part of the Earth’s shadow (also known as the “umbra”). During totality, the Moon can appear reddish-orange, earning these eclipses the ancient name of “Blood Moon“.

The Blood Moon may find us more easily triggered as buried emotions and/or fears surface. Please be alert for when you may be projecting psychologically and jumping to conclusions.

Our physical and emotional bodies strongly feel the intensity of it all, so it may help to remember that Eclipses ultimately support a shift in consciousness and thus bring us closer to our Soul’s path.

The entire Eclipse will be visible — and at its best — across most of the Americas (North and South), with glimpses for Europe, Africa, and East Asia. Totality lasts about an hour, so we can expect to sense the influence of this Lunar Eclipse for the next four weeks, until April 14th.

This Lunar Eclipse is the first of two Eclipses within two weeks; it offers an opportunity for a more balanced connection between the head and the heart.

A Partial Solar Eclipse in Aries will follow on March 29th — the last one of its kind until 2042! I will be recording a video about this around March 21st/22nd — so watch out for that.

==> You can join my next Forecasting Forum to ask questions about the Eclipses. Live on Wednesday, March 12th at 6:30pm EDT/10:30pm GMT. The Early Bird Special ends on March 10th at midnight EDT.

Reading this after March 12th? Get the mp4-video presentation of this live event, titled: “The Spiritual Warrior” here

All Eclipses transmit new energetic codes and transformative downloads, symbolized by the signs involved.

This Total Eclipse takes place with the Moon in detail-oriented, practical, analytical Virgo  and the Sun in creative, free-flowing, sensitive Pisces.

Eclipses are usually powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul’s Journey (collective and individual). The Moon Nodes started their journey through Pisces-Virgo on Jan. 11th, 2025, and they will remain there until July 26th, 2026!

Feel free to get & watch my webinar, “Our Soul’s Journey: Unveiling the Significance of the Moon Nodes in Pisces-Virgo”, here

You can also read my article on the Moon Nodes here

This Full Moon is the second Lunar Eclipse in the Pisces-Virgo polarity and marks the culmination of progress made since last September.

On March 14th, we can ask ourselves: How far have we come since the last Eclipse Season that began in September of 2024? What can we see now that was not apparent then?

This Eclipse also constitutes a new collective Soul’s Journey, which emphasizes the balance between making more of an effort to trust our connection to the divine and our intuition, and our ability to discern what works and doesn’t work for us when it comes to our day-to-day well-being.

This powerful Full Moon also calls us to release or redefine our conditioned minds, our judgments of ourselves and others, and anything disconnected from our hearts.

We are encouraged to become more aware of our biases, approach anything we do not know or understand with compassion, and bring acceptance and unconditional love to our interactions with others.

With a new Eclipse cycle, this is a longer-term process — in this case, one that will last until February 2027.

Full Moons illuminate the truth and consequences of our choices. We become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored. This being a South Node Eclipse, we need to bring greater awareness to the Virgo energy.

We might want to ask ourselves: What has become toxic, unhealthy, or unmanageable in connection with my rational/scientific mind?

Here are the astrological highlights of this Lunar Eclipse chart:

  • The Sun aligns with Saturn, the North Node, and Neptune in Pisces
  • The Moon aligns with the South Node in Virgo and opposes Saturn, the North Node, and Neptune in Pisces, and trines Uranus in Taurus
  • The Sun/Saturn alignment trines an exalted Mars in Cancer and sextiles Uranus in Taurus
  • Mercury (the ruler of Virgo and the Lunar Eclipse) is highly exalted in Aries at the time of the Eclipse, coming to a halt only 24 hours after the Eclipse, starting its 3-week Retrograde phase
  • Mercury also aligns with an exalted Retrograde Venus in Aries and sextiles Jupiter in Gemini
  • Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) remains in an exalted degree until March 30th

I will talk about all of these in more detail, but first, let’s take a closer look at the polarities involved here:

The Moon in Virgo advises us to…

The more an Eclipse activates our birth chart, the more we feel called to go to the next level. Because Eclipses are so powerful, they require a bigger orb than a regular Full or New Moon. I tend to use a 4º orb instead of 2º — so since this Lunar Eclipse takes place in 24 degrees of Virgo-Pisces:

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-28 degrees of Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you are more affected by this month’s powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse. The same is true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, March 3rd

Monday, the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries and VoC until 5:37am EST. Until then, life is an adventure; we’re more open to new ideas and have great enthusiasm for new projects.

Monday at 4:04am EST, Mercury changes signs from creative, sensitive Pisces to pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey for an unusually long time (due to its upcoming retrograde), until March 29th and then again from April 16th until May 10th.

During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors. Given that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster.

Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want, and we want it now!

As you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding.

Remember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive.

Keep the focus on yourself instead — and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.

Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 2 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others — whether it be in person, via email, over the phone, or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely.

Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9.5 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong. 

Monday at 5:37am EST, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will journey until Wednesday morning. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.

In other words, change is not our favorite thing, and “rushing things” goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It’s probably slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses.

Monday at 6:55pm EST, Neptune reaches 29 degrees of Pisces, an exalted degree. Neptune made its first pass through Pisces between April and August 2011, and then after a brief retrograde, it returned to Pisces in February 2012, where it has remained ever since!

It’s now or never! We are strongly encouraged to let go of anything that hinders our intuitive connection with our Higher Self, and embrace a compassionate, heart-centered perspective on life that honors the interconnectivity of all things.

As Neptune moves through the last degree of Pisces (until March 30th), our understanding of interconnectedness will deepen even further.

The planet was in that final degree from May 3rd – Sept. 2nd, 2024; an exalted degree in its own sign. Very powerful indeed — the veil from this world to the next will become thinner, and our collective spiritual and emotional sides will need to evolve.

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, February 24th

Monday, the Moon remains in ambitious, realistic, and goal-oriented Capricorn all day; it will journey there until Monday night/Tuesday very early morning.

We tend to be more realistic, serious, and cautious, which can support practical endeavors and financial matters.

Our ambition surges, requiring structure and planning. When you add the pragmatism this Moon placement supports, you can see how this could be a productive time for business and long-term goals.

Our reputation becomes even more important to us.

As best as you can during this time, avoid “should-ing” on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying, “I am doing the best I can, and that’s all I can ever do.”

Monday at 9am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 21 degrees of Capricorn. This Moon phase lasts until Thursday evening (Feb. 27th) when the New Moon in Pisces becomes exact (more about this later this week… In the meantime, feel free to watch my New Moon video, here).

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet to listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. Stay grounded, take a deep breath, and exhale any tension as best as you can.

Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.

This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?

Monday at 10:28pm EST, we enter a Moon VoC that will last for a little over 2 hours, until 12:40am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to soften your need for accomplishment with a gentler, more intuitive approach.

As best as you can, take some breaks and allow the energy flow to show you the way.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday late evening/night ahead of time

New Moon in Pisces — the article

On Feb. 27th at 7:45pm EST, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 9.5 degrees of Pisces, marking the beginning of a new Moon cycle. Feel free also to watch my New Moon video on the subject

This Lunation also marks the beginning of Eclipse Season — which lasts until April 21st.

This is usually an unpredictable time, as we are recalibrating on a physical, mental and emotional level which gives us a chance to move to the next level of our evolution – on a personal and collective level.

So the questions here are: What am I aware of until the end of April? What will I choose? Where will I focus my mind? My Heart?

What might become possible if I got 5% more comfortable with being in transition?

We will also discuss Eclipse Season in connection with the current Moon Nodes in more detail in our Special webinar on Tuesday, Feb. 25th at 6:30pm EST/3:30pm PST ==> You can join us live or register to get the mp4-video presentation.

Please remember: This webinar is a standalone event; everyone must register!

Now, back to the New Moon:

New Moons mark the ending and beginning of a monthly cycle and are an optimal time to pause, reflect, and set new Intentions for the next 28 days.

Since this one occurs in Pisces, this New Moon invites us to connect with our inner divinity and ability to receive, trust our intuition, and contribute to life from a heart-centered and empathic place.

In this New Moon chart, we have two highly exalted planets, Venus and Mars, representing the feminine and masculine principles.

Mars is highly exalted due to its Station phase, as it nears the end of its 11-week Retrograde phase on Feb. 23rd (four days before the New Moon becomes exact).

With Mars highly exalted in Cancer, we feel more protective of our loved ones, homes, and feelings. We will be more aware of safety regarding achieving our goals.

Mars will make several harmonious aspects in this New Moon chart to the planets in Pisces. I will go into them in more detail below — but first:

With Venus so highly exalted, we are encouraged to pay closer attention to what truly matters to us, including our values, preferences, likes, and dislikes.

This is also a time to reflect on how we spend or invest our money, what ignites our passions (and what dampens them), and what is important to us now.

Venus comes to a halt to begin her 6-week Retrograde phase on March 1st, two days after the New Moon becomes exact.

I covered those Station phases and the upcoming Venus Retrograde phase in a recent webinar, “Courage through Vulnerability. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend it — and if you do not have access to it, just go to my webinar page here.

This New Moon chart has five planets in Pisces: the Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mercury, and Neptune.

Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) also conjuncts the North Node in Pisces, which represents our Soul’s current direction.

This alignment asks us to pay particular attention to our connection with the divine and our intuitive knowing & connection to the Universe. It also invites us to…

Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 7-12 degrees of Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, or Sagittarius? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly for the next 28 days. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).

Before I talk about New Moon Intentions, I’d like to mention again all the ways you can deepen your own experience and self-alignment with the support of Astrology. Join us for:

The New Moon is also the best time to set powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact — and not during a Moon Void of Course phase.

So this month, the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be between 7:45pm on Feb. 27th and 3:05am on March 1st and then again from 4:52am until 7:45pm on March 1st — New York time.

If you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast time), I recommend you join my Facebook page or follow me on Instagram or Twitter/X as I post reminders on Feb. 27th, 28th, and on March 1st to let you know when to set your intentions.

February 17th – 23rd

Funny, Interesting, and Creative 

 

This week’s headline items: Venus and Mars remain exalted all week; the Sun changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces early Tuesday; the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact early afternoon Thursday; Venus’ Station phase intensifies on Saturday; Mars comes to a halt on Sunday evening at 17 degrees of Cancer — beginning its post-Shadow phase.

 

There will be three Moon Void of Course (VoC) phases this week: Monday evening (for almost 1 hour), Thursday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for 2.5 hours).

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, February 17th

Monday, the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 7:19pm EST. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic.

We are more polite now, as we seek the approval of others. We want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.

Monday at 6:24pm EST, we enter a brief Moon VoC that will last for almost 1 hour, until 7:19pm EST. Use this intuitive time to connect with others about your vision for the future and see if collaboration could help you make progress.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time.

Monday at 7:19pm EST, the Moon moves into deeply passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday morning (Feb. 20th). Emotional authenticity is extremely important to us now; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as 100% dishonest.

The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. It does so through subtraction — it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us.

This makes it an excellent time to look at “old” fears, limiting habits, or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.

The Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity — it’s “in or out”, “with us or against us”, “love me or leave me”, etc. It can, therefore, be stormy — a cold winter storm or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we “work” the energies.

Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward — act in good faith and assume it in others.

Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings — no matter if they’re “polite” or “timely”. Feelings aren’t facts, but they are information — and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.

Know thyself — and love thyself — you shall be set free.

Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes “Force” to show up — and that’s ultimately what disempowers us and others. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact later today).

Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio — and it is currently transiting through Aquarius, making this a great time to transform our visions for humanity and our future on this planet, in this universe — and to empower ourselves and others within our communities (locally or online).

It’s also a great time to dig deeper into our various networks and connections to like-minded people, so, as best as you can, be authentic about your affiliations.

Does participation in your current groups or networks feel empowering or disempowering? Do I feel a deep emotional alignment with like-minded people in my life? Am I allowing myself to hear the deepest calling of my Soul?

Ask yourself: Where am I looking to create more empowerment in my life? What about the lives of others? How might a self-expressed and courageously heartfelt approach serve my communities and foster better collaborations?

Use this time to create deeper, more empowering emotional connections with like-minded people, especially if you are feeling a disconnect with other networks or affiliations out there in the world.

Remember: Love expands us, others, and life. Fear paralyzes!

Now, this week’s Forecast…

 

Monday, February 10th

Monday, the Moon remains in protective, nurturing Cancer until 12:01pm EST. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say, and our feelings are thus more easily hurt — so be kind to yourself and others.

Self-care is key until 12:01pm EST! Emotional safety is also important to us; we like connecting to the familiar and enjoy nurturing ourselves and others — home and family call to us, for instance.

Monday at 8:49am EST, we enter a Moon VoC that lasts for a little over 3 hours, until 12:01pm EST. Use this intuitive time to be in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored now.

As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning until the early afternoon ahead of time.

Monday at 12:01pm EST, the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving Leo, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired — or at the very least acknowledged — for our greatness …

So hand out some compliments—let people know how proud you are of them and how much you love them. In this, and in all things, come from the heart. Be honest and authentic as best you can.

Fun, games, and romance are also big parts of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.

If there are no “outer children” around, how about getting in touch with your “inner child” — it’s easier for the next two-and-a-half days.

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak just thinking of it?

This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning). Feel free to watch my Full Moon video or read my article on the subject here (if you haven’t seen or read it yet).

Monday afternoon, a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:28pm EST. We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday evening (Feb. 8th) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday morning (Feb.12th).

This aspect creates tension in our lives; we may feel anxious or stressed by a situation involving financial stability, group affiliations, or long-term visions.

We’ll likely want to think outside the box and amend a life situation or vision that no longer fits. Again, we are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.

Our minds may prefer things to be ideal — cool and calm, detached and rational — but at the same time, we feel a great desire for progress and even breakthroughs around our finances or our physical experience of life.

The tension between these two desires could leave us feeling irritable, mainly because we also tend to take things quite personally right now; the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.

Since there’s a tendency right now to challenge established thought or play devil’s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use your breath to turn any fear into excitement — and let yourself visualize a bigger dream.

Expect the unexpected, and plan on disruption, revelation, and breakthroughs — during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?

As you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty. You can think of this as “reorganizing” time for the mind, like moving your furniture around. If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax — and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.

And as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time… Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, or Scorpio? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo, or Aquarius (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo, and Uranus rules Aquarius).
