Hello Everyone
 
Welcome to the March newsletter! 

I was saddened to hear of the death of Whitney Houston this month.  She was one of my all time favorite singers.  When we hear this kind of news,  we can never make any sense of it.  How could something like this happen to someone so beautiful and so talented?  I think it reminds us never to take life for granted, for life is so precious and such a gift.
 
 
On another note, being somewhat of a movie buff, I love to watch the Oscars each year.  I really look forward to this occasion every year.  I turn the phone off, enjoy a glass of wine and my share of a gourmet pizza.  It's so entertaining!

Astro Tips

 

 

Note:  All times given are PST.

 

Mar 2 - Emotional sensitivity today calls for some time for contemplation...to tune in with ourselves.
(Cancer Moon creates Grand Trine with Neptune and Saturn)
 
Mar 3  - We may push the envelope today, determined to meet our goals, or experience anger at demanding deadlines imposed on us by others.
(Sun in Pisces opposite Mars in Virgo)
 
Mar 4 - Emotions can feel contracted today, making it difficult to determine what we most need, or to reach out to others.  Concern about finances can surface. 
(T-square with Venus opp Saturn, squaring Moon).
 
Mar 5 - Expect to wake up with a speedy mind today.  There are things to do and places to go, but we may get ahead of ourselves.
(Mercury/Uranus conjunction in Aries)
 
Mar  7 - A practical combination this morning helps us get organized and ready for action.  Watch out for a mid afternoon energy rush, which can also make us irritable and impatient, as we prepare for the Virgo Full Moon.
(Grand Trine with Moon, Jupiter and Pluto in earth signs; then Moon/Mars conjunction in Virgo)
 
Mar 8- Full Moon in Virgo.  See Lunar Activity
 
Mar 9 - Early morning busy mental activity can rob us of deep sleep, which may contribute to late morning, feeling out of sorts.  
(Libra Moon opp Uranus/Mercury; then Moon square Pluto)
 
Mar 10 - A "serious" mood can settle in after dinner, making it a less optimum time for family discussions.
(Moon conjunct Saturn)
 
Mar 11 - We won't feel inclined to hold back on the Sunday Brunch treats today, or keep within our shopping budget.  Can be obsessive around romance!
(Scorpio Moon opposite Venus/Jupiter in Taurus)
 
Mar 12 - Mercury goes into retrograde, just after midnight. Read more about this at the bottom of this section.
 
Mar 12-13-14 - A series of beneficial connections with strong, positive planets in earth signs, creates self-confidence, clarity and optimism. Excellent combination for creating personal goals and intentions and making informed financial decisions. Energetic and proactive.
(Grand trine:   Jupiter-Venus conjunction in Taurus, trine Pluto (Capricorn), trine Mars in Virgo. 
 
Mar 15 - Mid morning through mid afternoon, we do well working at a steady pace and keeping our focus on the task at hand, however pesky interruptions and disruptions can surface, which throw us off.  Back on track again in the evening.
(Capricorn Moon square Uranus/Mercury in Aries;  then early evening, Grand trine with Moon conjunct Pluto, trine Mars (Virgo) and Jupiter (Taurus).
 
Mar 17 - We may have to call on those St. Patrick's Day leprechauns to help put a smile on our face this morning... but this too shall pass.
(Moon square Saturn at 6:00 am)
 
Mar 18 - Don't be surprised if you come up with a spontaneous and serendipitous idea about how to spend this Sunday.
(Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Aries at 10:30 am)
 
Mar 19 - Happy Spring Equinox!  Evening aspect helps us sink into deep dreams. 
(Moon-Neptune conjunction in Pisces)
 
Mar 20 - Don't get on the freeway this morning 'till you're all the way in your body!
(Pisces Moon opposite Mars in Virgo)
 
Mar 21 - Ideas take off fast today, but we're not necessarily in the mood for doing the math, or paying close attention to details, however, good to remember that Mercury is in retrograde).
(Sun-Mercury conjunction in Aries)
 
Mar 22 - New Moon in Aries (See Lunar Activity).
We're likely to bolt out of the starting gate at top speed today.  We need to move our bodies and let our minds expand and explore all possibilities ...but details - not today, Jose!
(Moon conjunct Sun-Mercury-Uranus in Aries)
 
Mar 24 - We can surmount any hurdles today, but please, don't pen us in!
(Aries Moon opp Libra Saturn;  Sun conjunct Uranus in Aries).
 
Mar 25 - Proactive planets in earth signs today, get us out of the house and doing something physical.
(Grand Trine: Taurus Moon conjunct Jupiter, trine Mars and trine Pluto).
 
Mar 26 - Socially active aspect around lunch time today, also creates a sense of peace, ease and abundance.
(Moon-Venus conjunction in Taurus)
 
Mar 29 - Double check details of your daily schedule before heading out today.  A soft mid-morning influence supports creative thinking, but is especially helpful in taking the edge off an influence known to create power issues.
(Moon-Mercury square; Mercury-Venus Sextile; Sun (Aries)square Pluto (Capricorn)
 
Mar 30 - With an emotionally sensitive Cancer Moon in place today, we're more aware of possible mood fluctuations taking place around mid to late morning, which can trigger negative emotional patterns.  A softer aspect comes together around dinner time, which helps us dispel any dark clouds left lingering.
(Moon opposite Pluto;  Moon-Jupiter sextile)
 
Mar 31 - An emotionally receptive mid-afternoon influence helps us get in touch with our thoughts and feelings, and helps us choose to be in a place of acceptance.  This can be challenged later in the evening however, when a fluctuating influence comes in.
(Cancer Moon trines Pisces Mercury;  Moon square Saturn)
 
  
LUNAR ACTIVITY
 
Full Moon:      Mar 8        18 deg Virgo at 1:39 am
Surrounded with Mars/Uranus activity, there can be mental stress accompanying this Full Moon.  Try not to take on too many daunting, time-sensitive tasks.
 
New Moon:     Mar 22       2 deg Aries at 7:37 am
Lots of high energy, with a strong desire to be physically and mentally expressive. We're in the mood for new experience.
 


MERCURY IN RETROGRADE
      (March 12 - Apr 3)
 
The retrograde motion of Mercury begins at 7 degrees of Aries, which makes for close encounters with transiting Uranus (Mar 12 - 22), and close to being in square to transiting Pluto (Mar 12 16). 
 
Placed in Aries, and making strong connections to the powerful planets of Uranus and Pluto, in the time-frames noted above, we can expect to see dynamic and assertive qualities associated with this Mercury.  We will not hesitate to be direct in expressing our individual needs, some of which are likely to feel quite urgent.
 
In the March 23 - Apr 3 timeframe of Mercury in retrograde, it moves into the philosophically oriented and passive sign of Pisces, creating a desire for reflection and accessing our imagination.  Mar  27 - 31, Mercury sextiles Venus in Taurus, which is a good combination for many aspects of the arts, especially that related to music.

Enter to win a

Solar Return Reading

 

 

  

  

  

It's really helpful to plan your birthday year, with the information available from your Solar Return chart. This particular chart is cast with the following in mind:

 

 a) Location - the physical location

    where you spend your birthday

 

 

b) When the degree of your Sun

         reaches the exact same degree as

        it was when you were born (the

             actual time varies a little each year)

 

The Solar Return Chart indicates which influences you have available to create successful outcomes in those areas where you place your attention during your birthday year.

 

In the month your Birthday takes place, you have the opportunity to win a free Solar Return Reading. The 15 minute Solar Return reading will be emailed to you as an MP3 audio recording.

 

This month, Pisces is the magical birthday sign, so if you're a Pisces, please go ahead and enter your name for a Solar Return Reading.
