This Week in Astrology, Episode 204, 3/28/11

Click here to listen now!

Mercury retrograde starts this week, so get those important projects started ASAP! A powerful Jupiter-Saturn opposition calls for disciplined expansion, while up to six planets in Aries (including the New Moon) fire up the sky. And if that's not enough intensity for you, why don't we just pile on a Sun-Pluto square and a Mars-Uranus conjunction while we're at it?

We feature listener emails this week; topics include a caution on using my "Ask and Receive" guided invocations, how many planets can be invoked at once, the timing of the vedic yugas, how twins born two minutes apart can behave so differently, and more!

Celestial Forecast for March 28 - April 3   
Green Zodiac  
by Benjamin Bernstein

Whatever your sun sign, this forecast will help you choose how to best use the current astrological energies! Events are most powerful on the dates listed. However, their influence will be active for at least several days before and after. All dates and times are in the U.S. eastern time zone.

While everyone is affected by these global transits, you will be most powerfully impacted when moving planets activate natal planets and other sensitive points in your birth chart.

VOID-OF-COURSE MOONS. It's best to avoid starting important new projects or making major purchases during these times. "Business as usual" is the best strategy for these periods, which occur when the Moon has made its last major Ptolemaic aspect but has not yet moved into the next sign. Learn more here.

3/27, 11:18 pm - 3/28, 7:01 am (Aquarius)
3/30, 6:22 pm - 6:39 pm (Pisces)
4/2, 12:52 am - 7:16:49 am (Aries)

3/28 (Mon). Embrace the challenge of personal transformation as the Sun squares Pluto - it will greatly empower you! But with the Sun in Aries, be careful not to let anger or impulsive sexuality get the better of you.
        Also today, a significant astrological event occurs: Jupiter opposing Saturn. This will be strong for several weeks. It calls for a harmonious balancing of expansion and contraction, enthusiasm and seriousness, adventurous new paths and still-useful traditions. With Jupiter in Aries and Saturn in Libra, also be sure to find a balance between your needs and the needs of others.


3/29 (Tue). With Venus conjunct Chiron, the time is right for the mentoring and healing of relationships, creativity and money issues.

3/30 (Wed). Mercury goes retrograde today at 4:47 pm, and turns direct again on 4/23 at 6:04 am. During this time, avoid starting major new projects, and be especially attentive to travel details, communication, and technology. Back up critical data! 
        Mercury Retrograde is an excellent time to complete projects, make repairs, reflect and contemplate. Since this retrograde takes place entirely in Aries, reflect especially on initiation, sexuality, assertiveness and leadership.

        Also today, you can use a 45° Jupiter-Neptune semi-square to boost your spiritual consciousness, divinely inspired creativity and universal compassion. And with Jupiter in Aries, don't just think about these things - take action on them!


4/2 (Sat). Mars enters Aries and will remain through 5/10, which puts five planets in that fiery sign throughout April. You can avoid Aries' dark side - anger, impatience, combativeness and impulsiveness - by focusing on its high-side qualities of initiation, positive sexuality, enlightened warriorship, boldness and courage.
        Also today, a Venus-Pluto sextile encourages positive transformation in relationships, creativity and finance; Pluto also provides plenty of raw power for you to use as you wish. With Venus in Pisces, ask for the flow of intuitive guidance in these three areas.


4/3 (Sun). April's New Moon occurs today at 10:32 AM (13°29' Aries). With six planets in Aries at this moment, new beginnings in the high-side Aries qualities mentioned above are especially supported! Aspects to this lunation suggest a powerful sense of new hope (Jupiter conjunction), tempered by a recognition of realistic limitations and responsibilities (Saturn opposition). Since Saturn and Jupiter are the two "social" planets, new projects that involve others get some extra juice.
        This New Moon's Sabian Symbol is, "A serpent coiling near a man and a woman." The serpent, a Scorpionic animal, is associated with transformation, such as when the serpent sheds its skin. The serpent is also a metaphor for kundalini, which coils at the base of the spine until it spirals up to the top of the head during the enlightenment process. Man and woman can represent opposite polarities, which are transcended during awakening. All in all, a very hopeful symbol!
        A Mars-Uranus conjunction in Aries, also today, powerfully reinforces this New Moon's theme of new beginnings and powerful paradigm shifts. This high volatility combination is like rocket fuel: it can launch you to the stars or, if you're not careful, blow up in your face!
        Today's final significant aspect is a Sun-Saturn opposition, adding a helpful dose of maturity, responsibility and long-term planning to the current megadose of Arean impulsivity! If a significant obstacle stand in your way, consider whether it's time to call on your inner divine power to help you stand up to those opposing forces.
