Astrology for the Week of March 26, 2017

I’m ready to talk about the astrological excitement that is the April 7-April 16.
But First…

Astrology for the week of March 26 – April 1

All transits are in sidereal. If you’re curious about your chart using the sidereal zodiac you can find a guide with instructions on plotting your sidereal chart here. And a post outlining some of the philosophical differences between tropical and sidereal here.

Astrology for the Week of March 26, 2017 - @PeoplesOracle

March 26, 2017 we walk through a vortex. Mercury reaches 0 Aries, the degree of its direct station (more on that below). We’ve already experienced planets crossing this point, and it has not disappointed.

Zero degrees of Aries is the beginning of the zodiac, so it’s always a sensitive point. But this year, it’s a poignant trigger that helps us to time important events.

On March 1, 2017, the first planet crossed the 0 Aries Marker. Mars jumped the threshold after dancing with the Moon at 29 Pisces. Moon followed quickly. We came out of the proverbial waters of baptism into the fire of fisticuffs. (As of early Sunday) Mercury is now at that same degree, 29 Pisces, ready to cross the threshold into the fire. Once again, our allegiances will be tested

As the Moon and Mars traversed 0 Aries we were coerced into taking sides. No more walking the thin line of feigned neutrality. In the public sphere, news broke that implicated Jeff Sessions in Russia-gate. This was an omen of things to come as the Russia story has demanded more and more of our collective attention.

But in our personal lives, we’ve felt the conviction of choosing sides in inner and external battles.

Where have you felt compelled to profess where you stand?
What side did you choose?

Next up is a New Moon in Pisces with Venus retrograde front and center. This is exact Monday evening, but active once the Moon enters Pisces overnight from Sunday to Monday. Pisces calls us to connect to something larger than ourselves, to awaken our empathy, provide deeper meaning and purpose to all that we do.

This is surely at odds with Mercury and Mars in Aries. These two planets are divisive, where Sun, Moon, and Venus in Pisces are like adhesive, beckoning people to come together. But this leads me to the conclusion that as we choose sides and proclaim where we stand, it allows for allegiances to be born.

When we are unafraid to be bold in our declarations of who we are, we are able to identify those who resonate with our convictions. We are able to connect with others based on shared ideals and common goals.

Our intentions for this New Moon period should be to stand strong in our convictions as a means to connecting to something larger than ourselves. For some reason,  we believe we can fit in when we stand in the middle, but at this time standing there will leave you standing alone. Relinquish fear of being a leader.

Moon enters Aries on Wednesday March 29. He sets off Mercury and Mars like a lit match in a keg of dynamite. Wednesday and Thursday are days to lay low and plan how to be responsive rather than reactionary. Both days the Moon is applying to planets so that means busy busy news. Think back to on or about March 1, March 8, March 15, for clues to the Moon/Mars story in your life.

Moon enters Taurus before daybreak Friday March 31. Moon makes aspects with Venus on Friday and the Sun & Jupiter Saturday. That makes for a very peaceful weekend prefacing an excitable and busy week.

Now, Important Dates

I’ve been saying that the week of April 9th is the turning point, but Friday April 7 through Sunday April 16 are probably the most intense days of the year, second only to late August when the total solar eclipse in Leo occurs and early September. Think of this as act one. Here is a rundown

  • April 7
    • Saturn Rx, 3 Sagittarius
    • Uranus enters Aries
    • Sun opposite Jupiter
  • April 9 – Mercury stations retrograde, 20 Aries
  • April 11 – Full Moon conjunct Jupiter, 27 Virgo
  • April 12 – Mars enters Taurus
  • April 13 – Aries Ingress, Sun conjunct Uranus
  • April 15 – Venus stations direct at 2 Pisces

In an upcoming post, I will go into full detail on these astrological events. It was originally part of one big post, but that seemed like too much to put into one blog post. So I’ll post the rest this week.

Astrology for the Week of March 6, 2017

Monday: Moon is in Gemini and Mercury is business. Great day for communication and correspondance.

Tuesday: Moon trines squares Venus then trines Mercury and the Sun. Another active mental day.

Wednesday: Moon enters Cancer and squares Mars in Aries. Continuation of last Wednesday?

Thursday: Cozy Cancer Moon trines Venus in Pisces and sextiles Jupiter in Virgo. Ghost of lovers past.

Friday: Moon enters Leo early AM. Fire Trine with Mars in Aries and Saturn in Sagittarius. Mercury moves into Pisces.

Saturday: Full Moon in Leo. Moon is bright. Can you see it now?

Sunday:  Moon in Virgo faces off with Mercury in Pisces. Who is telling the truth? Did you say what you meant or did you mean what you said?

March 6 Weekly Forecast - @PeoplesOracle

Monday, Mercury is cazimi the Sun in Aquarius. It will be within 17 minutes of an exact conjunction putting it in the heart of the Sun. In this position the sun confers its power to Mercury, giving it the platform to execute its goals.

Mercury in Aquarius is about speaking authoritatively. It’s insisting that one’s thoughts, ideas, and words come from a place of sovereignty over oneself. I wouldn’t be surprised if President 45 signs another executive order while Mercury is in this position as it reflects his desire to have unquestioned power. Ruled by Saturn, themes of this order have to do with the land under our feet, the elderly, boundaries, and the erecting of limits.

(He did sign another one before I was able to publish this post.)

Moon entered Gemini last night adding to the air in the sky. Moon spends all day applying to square Venus retrograde in Pisces which happens early in the AM on Tuesday .  She still moving at a snail’s pace right now. But the Gemini/Pisces square is one of the spoken word and the unspeakable trying to find a way to convey things to each other. Perhaps Monday and Tuesday are days  where we put into words and communicate our Venus retrograde revelations.

Tuesday Gemini Moon will spend the entire day applying to a trine with Mercury and the Sun in Aquarius providing an opportunity for the flow of ideas, social interaction, and intellectual stimulation. Gemini Moon can be busy and stimulating. Ruled by Mercury, it is changeable and in constant flux, adapting and reacting to stimuli it encounters.

After that trine business, Moon immediately applying a square to Jupiter. When the Moon is busy, we’re busy. So, Tuesday is is to be a busy day. Lots of conversation, correspondence, and coming and going. The square with Jupiter later in the day provides ripe conditions for debate over what someone said vs what they meant. The truth can come out with some prodding. Perhaps an important press conference occurs.

The Moon enters Cancer overnight into Wednesday. Early in the day she squares Mars. Wednesday is a feisty day. That square is goading us to move forward despite how we feel. Moon/Mars square can reflect battles between men and women and overall conflicting agendas and the motivation for them.

Thursday is the best day of the week. The perfect fall back from the electricity of Tuesday and Wednesday. With the overstimulated Gemini Moon, and the combative Moon/Mars square behind us, Moon in Cancer applies to a newly retrograde Venus in Pisces which occurs early in the day.

Thursday is easy and indulgent, cozy and comfortable relations and connections. This is a good day for someone from the past to resurface, or thoughts of past lovers giving you a bout of emotional deja vu. Venus Rx is known for bring back folks you think you want to let you find out if you really want them. Otherwise, themes of this Venus Rx weigh on us today.

Friday the Moon enters Leo at the crack of dawn officially beginning the Full Moon that perfects Sunday at 28 Leo. All of the week’s activity is a reflection of the dynamism of a waxing Moon.

Leo Moon is an intellectual Moon subject to the bias of personal perceptions. It can often mean we see what we want to see and feel what we think we see. It can be a projection rather than an authentic in the body experience.

Friday Moon in Leo reactivates the trine between Mars and Saturn. We get a grand fire trine Friday afternoon which is astrology for feeling like we need to act. That’s a day for structured and intentional energy.

Mercury leaves Aquarius for Pisces on Friday in the sign of its detriment and fall. The symbolism and language of Mercury finds itself mute and immersed in utterances that have more feeling than intellectual substance. Mercury will move at top speed through Pisces entering Aries on April 26 when he enters his retrograde shadow.

Saturday and Sunday are the Full Moon in Leo which is the peak of the lunar cycle. Full Moon’s reveal the Moon full of light and reflects revelations and illuminations in our lives. Everything is out in the open. What was hidden is now seen in the Leo house of our chart.

Moon enters Virgo Sunday immediately squaring Saturn and opposing Mercury in Pisces. Despite being the weekend, work starts early and is a productive day. Excellent for planning out the week and crafting your to do lists, or feeling irritated that there is too much to do and you can’t quite get it together. Try anyway.

Saturday, March 4

Sunday, March 5
Venus stops to demand our attention. Moon is busy, too!

Now for the nitty gritty details!

Weekly Forecast - @PeoplesOracle

The week starts off with the Moon in Aquarius on Monday. She’s not making any aspects before she leaves for Pisces around 1pm CST. Don’t let that fool you though. Mars and Jupiter perfect their opposition today.

Tuesday and Wednesday are busy busy. Mars is teetering on the last degree of Pisces daring us before he kicks off a 6 week stay in his domicile of Aries. Mars has been ahead of all the planets giving us a taste of what is to come for a while now.

On December 16, 2016, Mars triggered the August 21, 2017 Eclipse degree (4 Leo) by opposition. On that day, President Obama announced that the Russian government had indeed initiated the hacking of DNC emails. He vows to retaliate.

Mars activated the February 26, 2017 solar eclipse degree on December 29, 2016 (13 Aquarius). That day, then President Obama announced sanctions against Russia for meddling in the 2016 elections. At the same time, Michael Flynn was having conversations with Russia assuring them that they didn’t have to worry about those pesky sanctions.

Just as the Sun entered Aquarius on February 13, 2017, setting the stage for the next New Moon Eclipse, flynn resigned as National Security Advisor amid news that he may have promised Russia that the Trump administration would relax sanctions once they took office.

All of that to say that the story of the August 21, 2017 Total Solar Eclipse at 4 Leo will be Russia. Trump will get hit pretty hard. Stay tuned.

Back to this week!

Moon is in Pisces on Tuesday applying to a conjunction to Venus most of the day. Later in the afternoon she’ll pass up Venus and begin applying an opposition to Jupiter. Moon opposes Jupiter earlier in the day on Wednesday and then it’s game time! Moon reactivates the waning opposition between Mars and Jupiter making Tuesday into Wednesday a big news day.

Tuesday will feel powerful yet indulgent with Venus and Jupiter getting all of the Moon’s attention. With Mars out of the way, the Moon has a chance to facilitate a conversation between Venus and Jupiter. This conversation speaks of possibilities that won’t quite manifest right now but will come up again later, May 19 to be exact. That date is important and will come up again, so write it down.

Venus is moving extremely slow. She’s settling into her retrograde station which means she’s powerful and demanding our attention. Watch for women in the news on Tuesday. Also, women may feel particularly intense and passionate. If you’re on Twitter we’ve seen women dominate conversations. Even this weekend a normally male dominated practice was taken over by women when Remy Ma released a diss track about Nicki Minaj.

Expect more of this kind of energy this week and over the next month.

Both the Moon and Mars enter Aries Wednesday evening. But first, the Moon conjuncts Mars at 29 degrees of Pisces before jumping over enter Aries just a few minutes before he does. Then they sit together in partile conjunction at 0 Aries. This shifts the conversation for a minute for women focused to men focused. Assertiveness and aggressiveness dominate until the Moon enters Taurus on Friday.

Wednesday can go a few different ways. Moon and Mars at 0 Aries introduces us to the energy that will lead us forward. Mars has been clearing the pathway all year as he’s been ahead of the Sun, Mercury, and Venus. He’s been the first to enter every sign.

Now, here we are. Mars is crossing into Aries which undoubtedly gives us a the first pieces of our Aries Ingress story both collectively and personally. This is a day you want to set intentions for because it may be wild and electric once the day actually arrives, it may get away from you once it sets in. So, spend the ease of Tuesday evening preparing for Wednesday.

If you’ve read my Aries Ingress predictions you’ll know what this setup is for.

You’ll want to mark this day for yourself. Even if nothing happens, pay attention to how you feel, what’s on your mind, and what area of your life your attention is directed towards.

Wednesday evening, Moon trines Saturn. That provides an opportunity for whatever had us raging earlier in the day to come down to earth and ground a bit. This could solidify a conflict or separation, giving you the courage to move forward boldly.

Thursday is relatively quiet. While the Moon is still in Aries, it’s skating towards its last aspect while in the sign, a sextile with the Sun. This is a waxing Moon so energy is building towards the First Quarter Moon which is the bend in road towards the upcoming Full Moon.

Moon sextile Sun late and overnight on Thursday keeps the Aries Moon energy moving full throttle with nothing in its way. That’s his last aspect before leaving for Taurus on Friday evening.

Friday is still fast paced for most of the day, but Moon skates uninhibited through the rest of Aries. The weekend energy comes at us slow and easy with a sensual Taurus Moon. Soon as the Moon enters Taurus Venus takes center stage for many reasons.

Moon in Taurus applies to a square with Mercury in Aquarius all day on Saturday, trying to put into words what we feel.

Sunday is busy once again. Moon sextiles Venus with reception. But Venus stations retrograde that day making her the dominating influence for the day. Relationship issues may surface as we once again visit the themes we’ll be dealing with for the next few weeks as Venus retraces the path she’s travelled since late January.

This is a long trip ya’ll so I will write more on Venus rx later.
